《FFF-Class Trashero》
Chapter 1 - It Should Have Been the Epilogue…?
Chapter 1: It Should Have Been the Epilogue?
It was a life with no wants. My parents who went to a tennis club each weekend were healthy, and our family wasnt in such dire straits that I needed to study and work part-time at the same time.
Fantasy, Muhyeop, games, novels, movies,ics
I was an ordinary high schooler who liked these things.
Thats how it definitely was until ten years ago.
I cant understand even now after ten years have passed. Why me? Fantasy worlds are supposed to be the welfare center for the disabled that saves social outcasts, the Greenpeace that helps the disadvantaged.
Clearly thats how it was in fantasy novels andics.
For instance, someone bullied at school?
For instance, a shut-in?
Summoning those B-rank humans who found it difficult to live on Earth to a fantasy world, giving material and spiritual support so that they could live a rosy life Looking back on it now, the way these stories yed out was truly retarded.
Thats why this had to be a mistake.
Listen carefully. I lived just fine on Earth. I was a cultured citizen who shared and discussed novels andics with friends everyday.
No, my circumstances were better than my school friends. I was a bourgeois who could majestically spend 100 won in front of my friends who went around looking for free events and illegal downloads.
Now, if only my face had been a little more handsome No, never mind.
Why is someone like me treated the same as those losers in life? You also think this is wrong, dont you?
I looked down at a fallenrade, seeking agreement.
Of course, they had no hope of surviving as I had crushed their heart for certain. But the ring light in their eyes alone was quite lively. Had this been thew-governed country Korea, somebody who witnessed this scene of ughter would have reported it to the police and things would have be troublesome, however
This ce wasnt Earth.
A fantasy world ruled by those with power.
A utopia for savages.
It was a world where, as long as you had the physical strength, whether it be money, glory, power, women anything could be had or stolen.
Crazy bastard
Even the vehement words full of malice spat by myrade couldnt shake me. All it was to me, was like the barking of some dog.
Calling the hero-nim who will be ying the Demon King that threatens humanity crazy. Arent you touched in the head?
I was a hero. Someone who was chosen as the apostle of justice. It wasnt a title I decided on. The natives of this worlds summoned me here and called me as such as they pleased. Saying that I was the hero of legend who would save the world.
Somebody like you isnt a hero! Cough!
Are those yourst words?
There was no retort from thatrade who had vomited blood from between their lips. They were no longer able to re at me with anger.
I turned my back on therade, with whom I had sharedsting bad blood, without regret. The corpses of my otherrades had long been scattered around the ce, lying on the cold ground.
Sword Princess.
Fairy King.
Sage.
Mercenary King.
They were heroes who were overwhelmingly stronger than me at one time. But at present, after 10 years have passed since my forced summon to this fantasy world, they were no match for me one-on-one.
So I killed them.
Right before the battle with thest boss, the Demon King.
I slew them cleanly by surprise.
Oi. Try talking again if you happen to be alive.
Werent you going to kill me as well after killing the Demon King? Pah! Who are you kidding.
I was able to win thanks to a difference in values. To myrades this fantasy world was their home where they were born and raised in. If the hero lost to the Demon King then their family, friends and lovers would be at the mercy of the demons, so they couldnt thoughtlesslyy a hand on him.
But me on the other hand?
It wasnt my business as to how this world ended up.
I was going to kill the Demon king and return to Earth, to my family.
Now, there was no obstructions blocking my way.
Scattered flesh and pieces of bones were scattered left and right in the dark hallway. The pools of blood that had gathered on the stone floor thickly drenched my shoes. There were corpses of humans, corpses of monsters, and corpses of demons who looked somewhat simr to humans.
They had all perished together harmoniously.
For the sake of sending the hero past this point.
For the sake of protecting the Demon King beyond this point.
H-, Hero-nim. Why?
Ah, there was a survivor?
The mercenary leaning against the cold wall, dying, asked me this. A close follower of the Mercenary King, I remembered him as a pleasant fellow who would hum a song even in the most dire of situations.
His name was probably Lets call him Mercenary A.
Having stopped my steps, I answered Mercenary A in a reassuring tone.
Why did I kill myrades? Worry not. Ill take care of the Demon King by myself. My condition is at its peak too now that those bothersomerades of mine are gone.
Youre not humming a song today.
I hummed a song through my nose in ce of Mercenary A as I moved through the hallway. I merrily hopped over the corpses and obstructions that blocked the way.
My footsteps were light like that of a youngdy who hade out for a stroll in a beautiful flower garden. Wouldnt I be soaring in the air if I werent wearing the scale armor made for me by the Dragon King?
It wasnt just my body that was in joy.
Hm~? Heung~?
The me of today was in an amazingly good mood. I could swear that I didnt feel as good as now even when I had embraced the number one beauty of the continent.
I channeled that pleasure and-
m!
I kicked open the splendid-looking doors barring my path with all my might.
Creaak- Boom!
Beyond the door which couldnt withstand my kick and was destroyed. The Demon Kings audience chamber was so spacious that it you wouldnt believe it was indoors. But a single intact furniture came into sight, not to mention any demons.
Thats why it stood out even more.
So you have finally reached this ce! Oh chosen hero!
At the opposite end from the entrance of the audience chamber. The man who had been sitting on a throne decorated with gems of various colors slowly stood up as he warmly weed me.
Above his pointy ears was a pair of horns which symbolized demons, but they wererger and more splendidly ornamented than any other demons I had seen to this point. I could easily guess at the status of my opponent just by this feature alone.
Youre the Demon King?
Indeed! I am the very pinnacle of all evil! I am Pedonar, the one who will plunge this world in darkness!
A ck miasma burst from the Demon Kings body after he finished his self-introduction. Seeing that powerful performance of his, I grew convinced that he wasnt one of those clones, fakes that I had in to the point of getting sick and tired these past 10 years.
Demon King Pedonar.
My train ticket to Earth.
He wouldnt know just how eagerly I had anticipated this moment.
Haha! Hero. Those eyes longing for victory are truly to my liking! Very well! I shall ept humanitys challenge!
Wait.
Theres something I want to ask before we fight, you see. Why is it that you merely stood by and watched the deaths of your subordinates?
It was a question which I had constantly harbored for the past 10 years.
The Demon King before me was the very person who had let me run amok as I liked. There would forever be no chance to ask this question if I didnt do so now.
Demon King Pedonar frowned in response, his good humour soured.
Merely stood by? How unpleasant. I have always dispatched stronger subordinates in order to take revenge.
And they died.
So I sent even stronger subordinates.
And they died again.
Hero. Are you dissatisfied at having luckily survived?
Demon King Pedonar rebuked in a dumbfounded tone. The way he looked at me as if I was truly foolish caused a burst of emotions in me.
So I returned tit for tat without losing.
If Demon King-nim acted in the beginning, I wouldnt have been able to reach this point?
During the past 10 years, the Demon King had lost many things.
The n to overthrow the kingdom, the plot to assassinate a hero, loyal subordinates, an outstanding son, beautiful ves, a first-rate elite demon legion, superior equipment, treasures that were piled up like a mountain,rge territory
So many that even an ount book wouldnt suffice to record them all!
And each time he lost something grew stronger.
My biggest sponsor wasnt humanity, but the Demon King.
Hero. Such spections are meaningless.
They arent meaning
Do you know the politics of demons? Be silent otherwise.
Words were futile with the Demon King.
The question which I had harbored for 10 years couldnt be solved until the end.
*
*
*
Every time I ventured into temples,byrinths, ruins and the like that were prepared for the hero who would enter someday, there were no problems even without the power of friendship which I never heard the end of.
I was strong even without something to protect.
My earnest goal of escaping this barbaric fantasy world and returning to the cultured citizen of Earth was enough motivation for me. Those 10 years of endurance didnt fail me. I didnt need trivial, cheap tricks.
Krgh! Hero. Does this mighty power of yourse from the rage of losing yourrades?
No. Its the result of training.
What rage would I be feeling when I was the one who killed them? Far from rage, I was feeling very refreshed.
Is, is that so. In any case, it was an excellent fight
The eyes of Demon King Pedonar, who had lost in a pure head-on duel, in a sh of swords, closed slowly.
I waited without letting go of my tension.
1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds
But the dead Demon King didnt move an inch. There was no development of a constion match that went along the lines of Now Ill face you for real!.
Are you for real? This is the end? Hello?
Huh
I had toiled for 10 years in order to defeat the Demon King.
But it ended so simply like this?
Looking at the Demon Kings corpse which was lying face down like a matchstick, curses rose to the tip of my tongue.
I grew dispirited.
Damn. They say the ignorant are fated tobor
A list of names of those bastards who had over-exaggerated the Demon King who wasnt even all that rose in my mind, but I decided to be understanding with a generous heart. Right now, it was a waste of time to even bother with them.
I looked up toward the sky and shouted in a loud voice.
Oh god of the fantasy world! I have defeated the Demon King as promised! Please return me to Earth now!
There was no use in regretting the past. I thought of the things that I was going to do after returning to Earth. Being a good son, dating, games, being a gourmand, the Olympics, going on a quest for justice
I waited to go back with an excited heart.
?Hero-nim. Has your adventure been enjoyable?
Yes yes. So quickly send me to Ear
?The path of a true hero is truly difficult. But there were countless bonds that encouraged you who did not lose your hopes and dreams. From them you learned friendship and love, and after maturing together with them you defeated the wicked Demon King atst. Congrattions truly!
?Shall we look at your grading now?
Wait! Grading?
It was my first time hearing this. My intuition which had never betrayed me was ringing rm bells, telling me that something strange was going on.
?Please check your report card carefully!
?Name: Kang Han Soo
?Combat Power: S
?Achievements: A-
?Reputation: D+
?Character: F
?Note: Why the hell did you go and kill off your perfectly finerades.
But they werent perfectly fine?
Myrades had meddled and imposed in everything in my life. Disregarding human rights and violence under the pretense of training were par for the course. There was even one crazy bitch who had revealed her birthday suit by her own negligence then wielded a sword at me.
If I were to make a list of the indignation and unreasonableness I went through in the past 10 years, there would really be no end to it. So that was a justified revenge
?You have failed to pass.
?Reason: With great power follows equal responsibility. But you possess a character that does not suit the power you have. For the sake of the worlds order and peace, you shall be returning to the first day of the test.
?Beginning re-test.
Return? Re-test? What bullsh*t is this!
No matter how arbitrary a god could get, this wasnt eptable. Roll around again in this garbage dump that didnt even have flush toilets? Therades I had done my best to kill were going toe back to life?
The mere thought of it caused goosebumps to rise
A suspicious light enveloped my body.
?All of the teaching staff are praying for your sess!
?You have been designated as a Blue Falcon Hero.
?A specialist instructor will be dispatched.
God damn

Chapter 2 - With My Instructor’s Qualification On the Line
Chapter 2: With My Instructors Qualification On the Line
10 years before I busted Demon King Pedonars ass.
There was a time when I was tender too.
On that day, I was having a heated discussion with my high school friends. Boldly ced on top of the worn table which we were sitting around, were magazines about magical girls instead of textbooks. The girls in our ss threw us rude looks that said those idiots are at it again, but hobbies deserved to be respected. It was a healthy topic appropriate for those our age.
I want to quit studying and go over to a fantasy world I want to save a princess held captive by a demon king and marry her.
Just a princess? I would go on an exciting adventure with beauties of various races in a fantasy world.
Two of my friends argued hotly as they revealed their preferences. They dered that they would steal the women of other men like savages, and create a harem which was rejected in modern society.
The gazes of the female students directed towards us changed from looking at idiots to looking at something below insects, but my two friends who were romantics of fantasy didnt notice in the least. And my other friend beside them couldnt be underestimated either.
Adventure? How trifling. Is the history and science you learned just for show? Even world domination would be possible if you just invent a nuclear weapon?
Someone with a 30 score in science would surely do well in making a nuclear weapon. When ites to fantasy, its gotta be a forbidden spell of the 10th circle. Wiping everything out in one shot!
Pft! Magic? Spoken like a geek. The martial arts from a Muhyeop world are the real deal! Have you even heard of a Sword Master?
The things they wanted to do in a fantasy world. The dreams and hopes my friends spouted as if boasting were all outrageous things. They carelessly spoke of them because they were delusions that would never happen, tantamount to the ult.
Kang Han Soo. What about you?
The baton was passed over to me as I was scanning the poprity ranking for recent games printed in one of the magazines, absentmindedly listening to my friends talk. I felt a silent pressure from their pointed stares. They seemed ufortable that I had continued to be quiet.
What do I want to do in a fantasy world?
I hadnt thought about it deeply before. Exploring Mars would be far more realistic instead. If possible, I would have liked it if they asked about some ce I could go by car or ne or in the worst case by spaceship. After all, if its Mars, I might be able to set foot on it before I died of old age.
The pointed stares of my friends gradually increased in intensity. Helplessly, I pondered on it for about 3 seconds before answering.
My dream is
The gag trophy of that day became mine.
It was a sweet memory before the day I was kidnapped to a fantasy world.
*
*
*
Sweet my ass.
Its expiry date was so passed that the mold on it grew a flower.
My dream.
Whats wrong about inventing a flush toilet?
Even great emperors, pretty princesses, archmages and sword masters would crouch over a chamber pot or over grass and do their business all the same. It wouldnt be toote to consider childish dreams after that.
Now, lets shove aside this miserable show of reminiscence, and confront the cruel reality that is without dreams or hopes.
I was inside of an extremely familiar room. An arch-shaped dome enveloped in pure white marble. Instead of a white fluorescent light, a dim purple light from thenterns hung on the walls illuminated the interior from all directions. On the floor there was aplicated picture drawn in the shape of a donut, but I involuntarily gnashed my teeth the moment I saw it.
Hero-kidnapping magic circle
In fancy professional terms, it was called a dimension transfer magic circle. I stood in its very center, and surrounding me as if to trap me in were men in silver armor.
Pce knights. They were the fantasy world equivalent of elite troops. Facing me, there wasnt a single pce knight who was nervous. And it couldnt be any other way, as right now I was in a high schoolers body, in no wayparable with those muscr builds of theirs like that of a bodybuilder.
Ha, hahah
I couldnt help but force augh.
Pce knights were no doubt the most elite bunch regardless of country, but for a long time there had been no one who held their heads up so straight like that in front of me. But aftering face to face with this unbelievable situation, I truly realized that I had lost the power I had built up over 10 years.
My forearms which had been thick as logs had be as thin as dog bones. The rest of my body was just as pathetic. And the change wasnt limited to my body.
My high-ss equipment and items had all disappeared. The time I had invested in gathered them had be for nothing in just one return trip in time.
This wasnt a dream.
This wasnt Korea.
This wasnt even on Earth.
No matter how much I denied it, reality didnt change. But even so, the thought of so simply acknowledging it made my insides boil.
It had been a whole 10 years, 10!
If it had been someone elses life then I could have said Oh! I see. You did your best in a dog sh*tty ce for 10 years huh?, and passed over the matter indifferently. But the story changes when ites to yourself.
10 years was an extremely long time.
It was enough time for a frail kid to exercise hard, be chosen as a national representative and be a globally famous athlete.
If one was to marry and start a family, it would be more than enough time to have your first child, and from a gurgling babe, see him off at his primary school entrance ceremony.
3 years in middle school, 3 years in high school, 4 years in college. They say if you study for these 10 years in total, the rest of your life besfortable, but dont people y in spite of that?
10 years.
3,650 days.
87,600 hours.
Throughout this long period of time I yearned to return to Earth for every single day. Especially on days when I received the scorn and disdain of my damnedrades. It wasnt enough that I was sent back in time, I was still in a fantasy world.
How could I simply acknowledge this terrible reality!
Wee, Hero-nim!
A sweet voice like that of an oriole woke my senses.
The owner of that voice was a young woman donned in a pure white robe which emphasized the color theme of the environment.
Hers was a face I knew.
She was one of therades that was part of my dark history. But she wasnt able to apany us up to thest boss, because in one of our adventures, she fell behind in escaping a copsing ruin and was buried alive.
On that day, I had held a toast by myself.
I had thought I would never be seeing her again.
Have youe to your senses?
No.
Returning in time, re-testing.
It wasnt a bad joke.
Is, is that so. Hero-nim, pleasee to your senses soon! Youre very confused at being summoned abruptly without even a warning, arent you? This is Fantasia. A different dimension from the world where Hero-nim was born and raised in. It must be unreasonable to hope for you to immediately understand. Ill start exining things one by one from now.
- Demon King Pedonar woke up.
- Danger arrived for Humanity.
- The Hero-nim of prophecy was summoned.
- Please save this world!
She broke up what could have been simply summed up in four lines and turned it into a lengthy exnation.
I was aware of all of it as I hade back in time. And that wasnt all. I had even busted the ass of Demon King Pedonar who put humanity at danger and saw through the Epilogue too. I wasnt a fool hero who came back in time because he died midway.
Oh my! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lanuvel. I am the archaeologist who received a prophecy in the middle of a journey of chasing the ancient legends, and summoned Hero-nim. Lanuvel means the truth in ancientnguage.
Archaeologist Lanuvel. A genius mage who had both the looks and the talent.
She was the schrly type so she was more specialized in supportive magic rather thanbat magic but, as befitting a tough explorer, her financial capability, ability to survive, stamina and the like were overall on the excellent side.
It was just that
Dont smile so brightly. It bothers me.
Wha-?!
This bitch was the one behind everything. The main culprit who kidnapped me to this savage world. If, I still had even 1% of my capability when I ripped a new one in the Demon King right now, I would have killed Lanuvel before anything else.
She was a woman who was repulsive in whatever she did. Thats what defined Archaeologist Lanuvel.
Stop pretending to be cute is what Im saying.
But I should acknowledge what should be acknowledge. The god who chose Lanuvel had an excellent eye. The me before going back in time who didnt know the future lets call it the 1st episode. 1st episode me made a regretful decision when he was in the same situation I was in right now. And that was none other than to be enchanted by Lanuvels good looks.
In slight defense of myself, I was in my puberty back then. And Lanuvel was pretty. Her beauty was overwhelming to the point that the game character cosying professional female actor who I liked seemed like a squid in my memories inparison.
But not anymore. Lanuvel was as pretty as ever, but I had changed. I hade too far to fall for a beauty trap.
That, that
Kidnapping someone who was living just fine and asking him for help? Do you find this situation amusing? Do you feel like bursting out inughter just looking at my face? What a brainless truth like that name of yours, Lanuvel. Do you have a death wish?
Lanuvels gorgeous smile froze.
Now thats more like it.
I am sorry
Lanuvel whose neck was shrunk back like a turtle apologized in a crestfallen tone. But she wore a look that said she didnt know why the hero was being angry.
The hero would save the world.
In this fantasy world, it wasmon sense that was epted as naturally as the harmony between Yin and Yang. The summoned hero would carry dreams and hopes and set off on an adventure. Every generation of heroes recorded in history books were all like that.
nk. I heard the metal sound of armor.
Hero-nim. His Majesty awaits you.
Had he been waiting for that noisy Lanuvels mouth to be shut? One of the pce knights who had been waiting by the side ryed those words to me.
Though Lanuvel had received the prophecy, she was only an assistant. The material cost, magic catalysts and the like that went into making this dimension transfer magic circle I was currently standing on would have been an impossible requirement if not for the support of an entire nation. In short, the Kingdom was behind this.
Im also waiting.
Eh?
Why are you surprised?
Well thats
The ipetent pce knight who couldntprehend words asked what I meant. It was my fault for expecting too much of fellows who were muscle heads through and through.
I should exin in a way easy to understand.
Think carefully. How many heroes are there in this world who can y the Demon King?
Only you.
The pce knight immediately replied without much thought.
Just as he said, I was the only hero. This body of mine was far more precious than a mere fantasy king that could be endlessly reced by princes like car tires.
This world would end if I died.
You understand now right? Let the king know that if he wants to meet me, stop testing the waters ande out quick. My time is expensive. If youve got a problem with that, then you lot can defeat the Demon King instead.
All those present were struck speechless at my bizarre utterance.
I bet they couldnt think of any words to retort with?
?Retort: There is an old saying, that no one would lower their heads before a hidden gem. Lower yourself, Hero-nim. Those who raise themselves will fall lower, while those who lower themselves will rise. Modesty is a virtue and at the same time, it allows one to distinguish oneself from the ordinary.
A long line of nonsense was trying to lecture me. It wasnt clear as to whether this presumptuous lecture was from a voice or was a message. It was hard to tell as it was delivered directly inside my head.
So who are you?
?Answer: A special instructor. It appears that you have received an F score for character. That is no easy feat either But do not worry too much! It is for you that I was dispatched. I shall do my all to help you in being reborn as a respectable hero. With my instructors qualification on the line.
My god

Chapter 3 - Begin Self-Study!
Chapter 3: Begin Self-Study!
?Answer: It is understandable that Student Kang Han Soo is surprised. Heroes who have passed the test graduate without even knowing the existence of a special instructor, after all. Even if they fail to pass, most of the time they are made to quietly take a re-test. The number of times the teaching staff get involved are so few as to be counted on a hand.
Re-test, as in going back in time.
The protagonists who lived pathetically and died pathetically in regret. Without any reason they would go back to the past and make a new start. They wouldnt be told the reason for the return.
Why?
?Exnation: The purpose is to have them reflect on their mistakes and correct them by themselves. There is a saying that people make mistakes faster than river water flowing into the sea. Everyone makes mistake. But Student Kang Han Soo is different. If only looking at the result, you seeded.
I had subjugated Demon King Pedonar. Cleanly aplished the role of a hero. Thoroughly exterminated the demons so that they could never again threaten the peace of humanity. I had even shattered the Demon Kings soul so that he couldnt revive for eternity.
It was a perfect conquest that didnt leave any room for future trouble.
?Conflicted: That is the problem. By rights, you who intentionally made mistakes repeatedly should have suffered the bitter taste of crushing defeat at the Demon Kings hands. Yet you effortlessly won against him. Failure is said to be the mother of sess. But you do not reflect on yourself because you did not fail.
I could understand what was being said.
Isnt this guy here to preach because Im not repentant?
?Affirmative: Exactly. Good people are said to be like water. It is because water does not fight and is helpful to all things. I will be eagerly looking forward to Student Kang Han Soo bing a deep and wide ocean who will care for hisrades.
Locking horns with the Demon King seems easier.
?Laughter: This will be it for the theory, and the practical lesson begins from now. I shall being again around this time tomorrow. Work hard.

Comrade, huh
This homework was a headache.
Uh Hero-nim, are you hurt somewhere? Gripping onto your head all of a sudden Dimensional transfer is a magic that still hasnt been tested. There might be an unknown side-effect, so please let me know if a problem urs in your body.
Lanuvel had been no more than a cats paw. The mastermind who had ordered her to kidnap me had appeared.
Professor Morals.
I did remember that right after defeating the Demon King, I had received a one-sided notice that a special instructor would be dispatched. But I hadnt taken it seriously as it had been much too absurd.
Yet to think it was real!
All of the teaching staff, is it?
I surmised that they were a group of instructors who trained heroes. Like how students who liked to y were locked up at school or in an academy to study all day, could they be kidnapping ordinary folk to this savage world and raising them into warriors under the name of hero?
I couldnt tell the goal of this organization, but it was certain they had no malice or hostility towards me. Otherwise, there was no way I would still be alive like this out in the open.
These people were capable of effortlessly sending me, someone who had demolished the Demon King, to the past. If they became displeased, they would be able to kill the likes of me anytime.
As such, I decided to cooperate for now. Until I managed to find a clear n to oppose them.
Lanuvel. Lead the way to the king.
Professor Morals said that modesty was a virtue, did he?
While I could understand what he was trying to get at, that was a one-dimensional approach. This was a fight between the king and I to hold the initiative. I was neither a citizen of this country, nor did I have the obligation to obey a kidnapper.
I was no hunting hound.
I wasnt a free volunteer either.
I was going to fight for my fair rights as a human. I wasnt going to submit to the likes of a ruler who would only sit on his throne, nodding his head and ordering, Fight against the demons with your life.
It was just that, since I wouldnt be able to return to Earth if this world was destroyed, I nned on reaching an adequate point ofpromise like the rtionship between a worker and his employee.
Professor Morals words had a point as well. Although I liked a fight for initiative where it was obvious I would win, wouldnt showing a beautiful appearance of conceding first as a cultured person of Earth also a worthy approach?
I thus decided to go over myself first.
Hero-nim! Its this way!
Lanuvel had been stamping her feet under her robe, at a loss on what to do. Her face had brightened upon hearing that I would go meet the king on my side. Apparently, it was her first time meeting a hero like me.
The expressions of the pce knight which had been stiff as stone gradually eased as well after all, they who lived on honor and pride had the stable job of protecting maidens and the king. The romantics of the fantasy world.
Regrettably, they werent on the heros side.
Hero-nim. Please watch your words before His Majesty.
A pce knight asked me this as he intimidatingly looked down on me.
Imagine it. Imagine yourself surrounded byrge men the size of German tanks, Russian brown bears. It wouldnt be strange if your heart shriveled in on itself.
What are you ring at. You gonna hit me?
But that wasnt enough to make me cower.
I was the Hero-nim. The only hope of taking down Demon King Pedonar. If I were to die or didnt cooperate, this fantasy world would be ravaged by the Demon King and ultimately fall into ruin. Thats why these men didnt have the guts to beat up the Hero. As long as I was careful of that guy who didnt care for the likes of humanitys future
Ooh! Hero! Good spirit!
Wait.
This voice couldnt be
Ill hit you as you wish!
Laughing heartily, a giant who was about a head taller than the pce knights, who had therge frame of bodybuilders, came charging over.
I couldnt react at all.
A fist the size of a stone pot lid came flying at my face.
Im gonna die.
That was the only thought in my mind.
The me at the end of the 1st episode would have easily dodged it, but right now I had the crappy body of a high schooler which couldnt even avoid a fast pitch of a baseball.
Why did this bastard appear here?
It was a miscalction.
I wascent.
Whoosh-
The giants fist grazed past the rim of my left ear. Had it surpassed the speed of sound? A fierce wind sted by my eardrums a beatter.
The inside of my head buzzed as my ears rang. Blood trickled out of my ears; perhaps my eardrums had bursted.
Mr. Alex! Are you nning on killing Hero-nim?!
Lanuvel scolded the giant with a face drained of color. But the giant who was reprimanded passed it off with aughter as if it were nothing.
Hahah! Its a test of courage I tell you, a test of courage. Look. He isnt dead, right?
Yes. This was what I didnt like.
These savages would kidnap innocent people and use violence on them. They would set you on a pedestal calling you Hero-nim, Hero-nim, but they would actually treat you lower than a human. Like hunting hound or toy to be disposed of after use.
But it was going to be different this time.
Professor Morals. This is self-defense.
Tok.
I took a step with my right foot to the giants side and slightly bowed my hips. I thrust my right hand inside the left pocket of my pants. Inside the pocket, as I had expected, was a mechanical pencil. Although it couldnt bepared to fangs or des, the 0.3mm mechanical pencil I had used in my school days could be considered quite sharp.
Sharp enough to use as a weapon.
I was in an unstable posture with my torso lowered and the center of my weight leaning forwards, but I didnt panic and used that momentum like an athlete.
It was too crude to be called Iaido; my body wasnt capable of performing the technique. But still the deftness of my hand was in a different leaguepared toymen. I was different from a lenient instructor of a Kendo club who had never killed a person before I was a hero with 10 years of experience.
I had confidence when it came wounding others.
With my murderous intent hidden like an assassin, I stuck close to the giant in a natural manner and blocked his lower vision.
I then swung the mechanical pencil in my hand. I would have aimed for his heart or waist had I had a proper de, but there was only one part that could be injured on this giant whose skin was hard like stone.
This, this punk?!
The giant retreated in fright.
My surprise attack had been perfect, but his movement was swift despite histeness in noticing it.
Riip-!
My 0.3mm mechanical pencil only managed to rip a straight line down the crotch of the giants pants.
Regretfully enough, there had been no sensation of tearing flesh. It didnt work out as I wanted because my body was slow, even though it would have been a sess had I recovered even 1% of 1st-episode-mes physical abilities.
Pity.
I had unfortunately failed in turning him into a eunuch.
It wasnt simply on the level of taking revenge. I strongly felt that, of all people, I could never lose to this giant at least. He could be counted among the top five in terms of those whom I harbored the most resentment towards.
Sword King Alex.
In the 1st episode, five days after having an audience with the king, I met Alex for the first time in a orientation that took ce in the royal training grounds. And I was beaten like a dog by him from the first day.
Under the excuse of practical training.
But in this 2nd episode, because I made amotion without panicking, it seemed I had drawn his interest early. For starters, he was my teacher in swordsmanship as well.
Mr. Alex! Quickly apologize to Hero-nim!
Lanuvel, whose face had be beet red, yelled loudly. Alex, who had be just as red in the face, protested as he pointed with both hands at the ripped crotch of his pants.
Lanuvel! Look at this! I suffered too-
Just what do you want me to look at?!
Speechless, Alex shot daggers at me, the culprit. But he shrunk back when Lanuvel who stood beside me opened her eyes wide in a re.
Kugh! An assassin with a frail body like that? Interesting. Very well, damned Hero. If you best me, Pce Knight Captain Alex, I will officially kneel before you and apologize. I promise you this upon my honor as a knight.
Lies.
He didnt apologize even until the moment of his death.
Swear on your two balls?
Dont get cheeky.
Alex left the scene growling like an injured tiger, looking ridiculous with both his hands covering the crotch of his pants. Watching his retreating figure, a slight change came across my way of thinking.
Returning in time.
I got the thought that it wasnt necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps it was a divine revtion that I should release the stress that had piled up in the 1st episode as much as I wanted. There was a saying that if you cant avoid it, enjoy it, no?
Hmm
I felt dizzy as if seasick. Alexs test of courage hadnt only ruptured my eardrums. It was certain that either the semicircr canal or vestibr organ in the deepest region of my ear had been affected. These two organs maintained the bodys sense of equilibrium.
If they malfunctioned?
It would feel like the world is turning upside down.
Hero-nim. I will heal you with magic.
I was swaying where I stood when Lanuvel lightly grabbed my right arm and supported my with her slim body. She was pretending to truly worry about me.
Its fine.
Coldly shaking off Lanuvels hand, I closed my eyes and focused my mind.
It was without a doubt that I had lost all my abilities uponing back in time. But that wasnt a cause enough for me to be weak.
Turning my 10 years of effort into nothing?
How trulyughable.
The flow of blood from my ruptured eardrums abruptly ceased. My posture became stabilized as the dizziness stopped as well.
Eh?! Hero-nim, Hero-nim! What kind of power is that?
Having noticed my subtle changes, Lanuvel asked with round eyes that sparkled with curiosity. Even though I had warned her just now to not act cute
Are you curious?
Yes!
Ill specially exin just this one time, so clean your ears and listen well.
Thank you!
I organized my thoughts once, and then opened my lips to speak.
After manually activating the autonomous nervous system in the human body, you fix the damaged semicircr canals. How do you know its the semicircr canals you ask? If something had gone wrong with the otolith of the vestibr organ, the world would have felt like it was tilting, but it only looked like the world was spinning around me where I stood. That means a problem had urred in the lymph, the sensory hair or sensory cell of the semicircr canals. Now! Since weve understood the cause, whates next is simple. You temporarily cut off the auditory nerve that is sending wrong sensory information to the cerebellum, and if you concentrate on raising the natural healing ability of the semicircr canals, ta-da! Oh my! Its already healed! Its simple after listening about it, isnt it?
Eh?
Lanuvel stood there blinking her eyes, having utterly failed to understand. What was the point in exining about it in detail to an inhabitant of a fantasy world who didnt even know about microscopes and anatomical charts? Like talking to a brick wall.
But the theme of today was modesty.
I consoled her with a benevolent smile on my face.
Its fine if you dont know. It has no effect on life.
Wuu
Lanuvel pouted as she pretended to be cute again. But this time I went over it without scolding her before I realized it we had arrived at our destination.
A pce knight cried out in a resonant voice.
Your Majesty! The Hero requests an audience!
I never requested an audience?
Although I wanted to tie up these bastards who treated me as an inferior as they pleased like dried corvinas and toss them into the sea, I decided to establish friendly rtions for now.
I turned up the corners of my mouth into a beaming smile.
Professor Morals had told me to be an ocean. It was a good metaphor.
Ill be an ocean and drown the lot of you.

Chapter 4 - Show Me the Money
Chapter 4: Show Me the Money
It was a downright lie that the king and nobles were waiting for me. I was well aware that they had hurriedly begun readying themselves only after hearing news that the dubious Hero Summoning had seeded.
Right about now they should be quietly making their entrances through the back. Otherwise, there was no reason for me to be waiting for a long time in front of the door.
Hero-nim, are you listening?
An old noble asked me politely.
Yeah.
You will soon be having an audience with His Majesty the King. So please refrain from making such light remarks as before in front of His Majesty.
Just how many times are you saying this. I get it I tell you.
It is because saying it so many times is still not enough.
Really! Have you lived a life of being deceived or what.
After parting ways with Alex whom I wanted to kill even more than Demon King Pedonar, I had walked for a long while through the pce corridors until arriving at an antique-looking entrance. In front of that entrance, it felt like I had been listening to this strict-looking old noble go on about things I needed to take note of for about an hour.
Knock-knock.
I heard a small noise from the other side of the door.
A signal that the preparations had ended.
You have achieved a satisfying standard in the etiquette I have taught you. It is now fine to enter.
Theres etiquette on standing like a block of stone too?
Krhm!
The old noble who had argued with me for a whole hour turned his head to the side and coughed dryly, perhaps feeling ashamed.
Even from how I saw it, he had done his best. He had dragged out time, entertaining the Hero using reasons and false excuses, until the King and nobles hurried their heavy arses and entered through the back door.
Since I didnt feel bored thanks to him, I decided to feign ignorance.
CreakC
The great doors slowly opened.
A worn audience chamber that told of the Kingdoms history and age came into view. The first thing that caught my attention was the high dais at the very end of the chamber.
I wee your arrival in mynds! Hero!
A middle-aged man, who had a yellow face and looked like a garnished dumpling, stood up in an exaggerated manner from his throne and weed me with arms spread wide.
He was the king of this country.
Although he was said to be a battle-mongering figure who had often set out for the battlefields in his younger days, now he was just a dumpling wearing a crown.
There was a long line of irritating faces on disy within the audience chamber.
The prince, princess, queen, nobles, knights, magicians
I already knew about the ominous dark clouds that hung over this country, but I didnt even have a bit of inclination to give them the precious gem-like information from the 1st episode much less solve what was toe.
Hero-nim. You are in the presence of His Majesty the King.
A pce knight surreptitiously hinted at me to quickly give my greetings.
In the 1st episode I had given a respectful greeting, though it wasnt received that well. Now was because I knew the future? I couldnt feel the need to get into the good graces of the Dumpling King who would be assassinated in the near future.
But the theme of today was modesty. I decided to y along with the other side for now.
I thank your hospitality, Your Majesty.
I greeted the king in the etiquette of this country which I had to learn even though I hated it. But, I didnt overdo my bow in the least.
Was he satisfied by my submissive attitude?
A smile sprouted on the Kings face like a blooming flower. The many people of power I had met on political matters in the 1st episode had managed their expressions well, yet this King was truly an exception among exceptions. His face was excessively honest. To put it kindly he was kindly, but to judge him normally he was ipetent.
The nobles observing me whispered among themselves.
Theres discipline in his movements.
Huh! His etiquette is even more excellent than that son of mine.
I had imagined an ignorant barbarian
Memories of the 1st episode flitted through my mind. The days of humiliation when I was called a barbarian who didnt know manners by these savages.
But it wasnt like that this time.
10 years of experience in a fantasy world. I had grasped the etiquette and culture of all countries and races. Though I hadnt studied them because I liked them.
The face of the King whose mood had be good was even brighterpared to our meeting in the 1st episode. His face became like a tasty-looking king dumpling as the corners of his lips rising on both sides caused his cheeks to swell.
The King turned to look at Lanuvel and spoke.
You have worked hard, Archaeologist Lanuvel.
I am honored, Your Majesty.
After giving her a shortpliment, the King once again seated himself on the throne, and then threw me a question with a voice full of expectation.
Hero. Are you able to see your abilities?
It was called status in English.
Putting aside that the Dumpling Kings voice was a little gentler than thest time, things were ying out just as it had in the 1st episode.
Status abilities existed in this fantasy world. It was made so that your own development index could be understood at a nce, generously indicated in words and numbers.
Just like a hologram from a virtual reality game.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) Fortitude(F) Assassination(F)
?Status: Good
When repeating a certain action or situation it would be a Skill. And by raising proficiency the Skill Rank would rise and its efficiency and power would increase.
Interpretation(A) was given as a starter in the 1st episode as well, but the Fortitude(F) and Assassination(F) next to had to be a result of Sword King Alexs test of courage.
Although I was aware of it, each look at the status window prompted a bitterugh out of me. From Level to Skills
Everything had been cleanly reset.
I can see it very clearly, Your Majesty. Level 1, and my job is Hero.
Ooh! Can you tell the perk of a Hero?
It is a 500% experience bonus.
500%!?
Not only the King, but everyone in the surroundings was shocked.
And how could they not be? This meant that I would be able to grow stronger 5 times faster than others regardless of talent. If I were to repeat something for an hour, it would be the same as having done it for 5 hours.
An overpowered perk befitting a hero of legend.
Hero-nim! A 500% experience bonus is a truly amazing thing!
Okay.
It is not ttery but the truth!
Lanuvel made a fuss at my lukewarm response. She continuously harped on by the side, trying to make me realize the worth of a 500% experience bonus no matter what. That was why I was about to tell her to shut up for a bit, but in that moment the King abruptly shot up from his throne and shouted in a strong voice with both his arms held high.
Oh Chosen Hero! Danger is upon this country which lies near the territory of demons! I beseech you to y the demons, raise your status abilities, and defeat Demon King Pedonar!
This country was swathed in countless problems. A fight of session between the princes, a high noble in cahoots with a demon, the queen who was hooked into a cult, the disappearance of vige maidens, a freakish serial killer, famine, epidemic
So many problems to the point of dizziness.
I did a rapid calction in my mind, excluding the worthless problems which would only end in one word of thanks. I picked out only the tasks that would raise mybat power or give mary benefits.
These kinds of jobs were truly so few that they could to be counted on a hand.
The King put the me on the territory of demons, failing to see the reality, but this country had an overwhelming number of internal issues, unrted to demons.
The Demon King was an extremely scrupulous gentleman. He didnt know toe empty-handed. He never failed to take care of my reward each time I slew his subordinates. Sometimes it had been too much to the point of making me feel troubled.
In short, at this rate I wouldnt be able to work due to being unable to make ends meet.
Your Majesty. About how much support will you give me?
Support?
The Dumpling King tilted his head in confusion.
I summoned you, the Hero. Our kingdom has given the ultimate support in order to save humanity. What more could we do?
Weve dragged over the hunting hound.
The hunting hound will solve the problem on its own.
Thats what the Dumpling King was saying.
Then I refuse. Find some other hero instead.
What?!
They were all astonished. Hmm. Those expressions please me.
Crisis of this country? Aint my business. You lot got a lousy way of treating a hero. Giving an order in a situation where its not enough to beg on your knees? Look here, Dumpling King. Im not a citizen of this kingdom.
Wretch! How dare you, to His Majesty!
One of the nobles red up.
And I returned his outburst with my mechanical pencil.
Ack?!
The noble whose forehead was embedded with the 0.3mm mechanical pencil let out a short scream and tumbled down from his chair. This was me having shown enough mercy as it was. The pencil would have gone through his skull had my strength been sufficient. And if I had chosen to be vicious, I would have aimed for his eye sockets instead of his hard forehead.
Shiing! Shiing! Shiing!
The pce knights who were startled by my thrown mechanical pencil drew their swords in unison. They held me at sword point from all sides so that I wouldnt be able to move. But that was all they did.
Why dont you kill me if you can.
I began to walk slowly. A nick was made on my neck by one of the des being held at me and blood trickled down, but I paid it no mind and walked towards the throne. The point of that sword failed to go any deeper.
It wasnt because my skin and bones were hard.
Huh?!
Crazy!
The frightened pce knights were moving their swords aside on their own. They had surrounded me, threatening me with their des, yet failed to cut off a single finger of mine. They were tense, dripping with cold sweat.
I spoke in a merry tone.
If a king dies, the prince can rece him. If even that prince is lost, then the princess will do, and if there is no princess then a rtive. Then, who will rece the hero if he dies? How will you take the head of the Demon King?
My whole body was covered in cuts from all four sides, not only my neck. Hot blood flowed out of my wounds, but that didnt daunt me in the least.
These savages werent worth treating with modesty. They were pigs who would crawl all over you if left alone.
The pce knights who had fallen into disorder wore dark looks. There was no pce knight who wished for their beloved family and lover to be killed or vited by the demons in the near future except for great men like Alex who didnt care about the world. He was the only one I needed to watch out for.
I was being bold with my experience in the 1st experience. I knew that these people could never kill me.
It wasnt of my concern whether this fantasy world went to hell or not. But if I died in thesends, there was no guarantee whether I would be revived or things would restart like a game. I was also afraid of death.
But I was the victor in this psychological battle.
Your Majesty. Do you have any more words for me?
Politics was a contest of spirit. The one with the bigger voice would always win.
Hero. I have summoned you in order to protect thesends. I had ordered the purchase of magic catalysts from many nobles and merchants, andmanded Lanuvel to call you unto thisnd.
So?
You belong to our kingdom!
So the Dumpling King dered. His logic was one that I truly couldnt evenugh at.
Im not a fish. The owner of a fish is the fisherman who caught it, but Im a hero. Belonging to your kingdom? What a riot. Announce that to the world why dont you? See how this kingdom will end up.
The nobles began to make amotion, the two princes who were aiming for the crown included. The queen who had been hooked into a cult that worshipped an inferior demon looked like she had many things to say, but she didnt speak up thoughtlessly.
An atmosphere that was to my liking. It was here that I dropped a statement in a tone of finality.
I am going to leave for a country that will favorably treat a hero. Its no use even if you stop or imprison me. I wont even twitch a finger. The moment the truthes out that you oppressed the hero, hope of humanity, that will be the end of this countrys fate. That includes the rest of you who supported the foolish king.
The nobles and knights who had been listening swallowed their breaths.
Hero! What sort of support do you wish for!
The Dumpling King who had be nervous shouted. He didnt ask for the opinions of his loyal subjects or the high-ranking officials, tacitly thrusting forth a nk cheque first.
It was no different from dering surrender.
High quality food, clothing and amodation, equipment, potions, military map, diplomatic immunity, room service
Room service?
This.
I shyly waved my pinky finger.
And Your Majesty.
Is there still more, oh Hero!
The face of the King, whose forehead had already gained more wrinkles in this short span of time, was as sorry-looking as a steamed dumpling that had fallen to the ground though I still had no intention of letting him off.
Show me the money.
A role-ying game that you had cleared once already was bound to be boring.
Lets key in the cheat code and walk only on a flowery path.

Chapter 5 - I’ve Got Eighth-Grader Syndrome!?
Chapter 5: Ive Got Eighth-Grader Syndrome!?
?Incredulous: I did not expect for you to cause an incident again in just one day. Have you heard of the saying that a wounded wild boar will oink ceaselessly? The King who has paid a material price will continue to make requests of you. Greed rots your soul.
Professor Morals. I think the corruption has gone too far.
?Sigh: A badpromise is better than a goodwsuit. There are times when you must endure a loss even when you can win. If I had enough time I would watch over you by the your side, but the influx of students is keeping me too busy.
A day had passed since I struck a deal with the King. Although the injuries all over my body were healed with Lanuvels magic, there was nothing that could be done about my anemia, so I was lying down in a luxurious room as if passed out. Still, my bloody struggle had borne fruit.
I had gained a hero activity fund a splendid feat that was impossible in the 1st episode.
But in any case students?
?Exnation: The owner of a mill thinks that wheat only grows so that his mill will turn. Student Kang Han Soo. You are not the only hero candidate. There have been quite a few graduates already. The heroes who have safely returned to Earth are living happily while helping their neighbors in need.
Professor Morals only left the words try harder before going away.
Todays conversation came as a significant shock to me.
Im the mill owner? It turns out I had Eight-Grader Syndrome?
The world didnt revolve around me as the center. It wasnt only the Korean Kang Han Soo who had crossed over to a fantasy world. The countless promising Eight-Graders of earth were being raised into heroes, using huge practical rooms each.
An educational facility on a dimensional-scale meant for one person. The magnitude of it was so ludicrous that I couldnt keep up with the reality of it.
Hero-nim. Is there something troubling you?
Lanuvel, who had been sticking to my side all day long starting from yesterday except when sleeping, asked me with her head tilted to the side.
Lanuvel. Is it certain that Im the only hero summoned to thesends?
Yes? Yes. Its certain.
Professor Morals had said he was busy because of the influx of students. That even at this very moment, countless heroes were in the middle of a journey to y Demon King Pedonar. But the hero of this world was me alone.
That being the case
Parallel worlds?
Could it be that there existed as many fantasy worlds identical to this one as the number of students? Like an offline role-ying game that is enjoyed alone.
The ludicrous scale of all this became even more nonsensical to me.
My head throbbed with pain, so for the time being I put that train of thought on hold. I decided to think on how to return to my home a day sooner. Those graduates were said to have returned to Earth and were living happy and well. There was no rule saying that I couldnt do the same.
Lanuvel. Follow me.
*
*
*
I received a whole bunch of gold coins from the Dumpling King. The king, who had felt a sense of crisis at hearing that the hard-summoned hero would be leaving, had opened wide the national treasury to try and gain my goodwill even if by using money.
But, a condition came along with it.
Wow! Just how much is all this?! There must be no one in the history of heroes who saved humanity that loved money as you do, Hero-nim. Youre really amazing!
Ssh! Lower your voice will you. People are giving us strange looks.
The Dumpling King had entrusted the money bag with Archaeologist Lanuvel who was expected to be the Herosrade.
I would have done the same myself had I been the king.
Hero-nim! Hero-nim! I want to have that magic orb, is it alright to buy it? Ive always really wanted to have it.
It seemed that the Dumpling King had chosen the wrong person to watch over me.
I sneaked a nce at the price tag and then said
Buy it.
It wasnt my money.
Woohoo! Thank you!
The ce me and Lanuvel were walking in was the kingdoms hub of economic activity, the great market of the capital. The prices here were staggering in equal proportion to high quality and expensive tax of the products that were frequently stocked. Even among them, in particr, the magic tools containing magic which were exclusive to fantasy worlds were luxury goods whose price tag humbled even nobles.
Magic wands, magic orbs, magic powders, magic brooms, magic
At any rate, anything with the word magic in it would unconditionally be expensive just like how the phrase cutting-edge technology was well received on Earth.
Lanuvel ran into the shop, her mood brightened at my consent. Afterwards, she came out hugging with both arms an orb the size of her own head.
She was wearing an extremely happy face. At the sight of her like this, the youths passing by on the street stared vacantly.
Lanuvel. Hurry up and follow.
Yes, Hero-nim.
I gave a click of my tongue and called her over with a gesture as if beckoning to a puppy. This was all for the sake of those ignorant youths.
They appeared to be dazzled by the detestable Lanuvel, but you needed to at least be a wealthy high noble in order to cope with the expenditures of this young, genius mage. A date or two and the pir of your household would be pulled out entirely.
Currently, my outfit was perfectly fantasy-style. The reason for this change was partly because the uniform I had been previously worn was reduced to tatters by the pce knights, but mainly because in the 1st episode, I had drawn unnecessary interest and trouble by boldly strutting down this street in uniform.
I wouldnt do such a stupid thing now. That, and I had be used to wearing fantasy-style clothing in my 10 years spent in this world.
This didnt mean that I liked it though.
Fluttering sleeves, tight stockings, long cors, peacock feather hat, pumpkin pants that was tight in the crotch, crimson shoes, shiny floral pattern
It was fashion terrorism with unknown origins.
However-
What an extraordinarily splendid attire.
A, a noble. And a distinguished one at that
Is he the son of some amazing family?
The people of the kingdom who mistook me for a noble didnt cause trouble for me. Even 10 lives wouldnt be enough if you made a wrong move in front of a noble, after all. The reason why I couldnt see any males spouting cliche lines like Sonny boy, Ill spare you if you leave behind the pretty thing by your side and get lost. upon seeing Lanuvel tagging along right beside me was also something along those lines.
In short, it was a good environment for shopping.
By the way, Hero-nim. Where are you going? Youre not even giving a nce at famous smithies and herb shops. Its your first time here isnt it, Hero-nim?
The ck market.
Wha?!
Im begging you please, but shut up a little. Because of you, people are looking at me strangely as well when Im normal.
Her neck shrunk back like a turtle, Lanuvel retorted timidly.
Bu-, but isnt it the ck market? For the righteous Hero-nim to get involved in illegal auctions, its only natural to be surprised.
Lanuvel.
Yes.
The magic orb you just bought is illegal too?
Ack?!
She had bought that orb out of her own self-interest. While I was the one who approved it, she was the one who didnt refuse and went for it.
In other words, we were partners in crime.
Hero-nim. Ive thought it over carefully, but I think the ck market also seems fine as long as it helps in achieving peace for humankind. Deadly venoms are used in medicine too right~
Lanuvel switched attitudes like the flip of a hand.
If youve understood, thene along quietly.
Yes! But how will you find the ck market? Even Ive only heard rumors of it despite having lived here for a long time. They say its hard to find because the auction location always changes.
It was a sharp question. No, perhaps it was only natural to ask. It would be plenty suspicious for a fledgeling hero who had only just entered a fantasy world to be more knowledgeable than a local.
What kind of excuse can I cook up Ah!
Who am I?
The Chosen Hero-nim.
Then think carefully. Would a hero be a hero if he was ordinary? If it was possible to defeat the Demon King with just a 5 times experience bonus perk, those dragons and fairies that have lived for millenia would have long taken him out.
If, if thats the case?
As intelligent as she was, befitting of an archaeologist, a subtle change came over Lanuvels gaze.
Listen well. The truth worth of the hero who will y the Demon King isnt shown in status abilities.
A-, amazing!
If youve got it then stop talking back and shut up for a bit.
Wuu
I made my way towards the pub I had frequented in the 1st episode. As the ce of gathering for the ck market would always change, just as Lanuvel had said, even the great me had no way of knowing where it would take ce.
Of course, as I had been a regr patron of the ck market, I remembered several of the locations. But this time round, the time to visit the ck market was moved up greatly thanks to the Dumpling Kings funding.
I needed new information from none other than this ce.
CreakC
I pushed aside the sliding door with rusted tracks and entered the shabby pub. I took in at a nce the interior of this establishment which was illuminated bynterns and a firece. The various voices of the customers who hade before us ovepped one another.
Just m down! Youre dead if you lose, hear me!
Hoho! And then?
A ss of beer for one here! No, make that two!
The noisy cries from the fellows who were making bets on arm wrestling, the coquettishughter of youngdies seducing men, the bard ying a guitar in the corner, the female worker quickly serving sses of alcohol
It was just as how I remembered it.
Very slowly, I stepped inside as I savored the nostalgia of the past. Wary nces were thrown at me from all sides. Although the atmosphere didnt grow cold at my appearance, it was without a doubt that something in the air had changed because I was a neer and a noble.
Although I felt inwardly disappointed at the attitudes of the pub folks which had be different from the 1st episode, I paid it no mind and walked up to the bartender.
The bartender who had been wiping a ss spoke to me first.
This lowly ones eyes are delighted that Your Lordship hase to this shabby pub together with an amazing beauty. What will you order? Though our establishment seems old on the outside, we deal in all liquor that are traded within the kingdom.
His manner of speech was as smooth as flowing water. Although his eyes that were shaped like a rattlesnakes gave off a sharp impression, his amiable smile, well-groomed moustache and immactely white suit made up for this. Just as I remembered him in the 1st episode.
I called out the name of my dear friend, the bartender.
Tony.
Does Your Lordship know of me?
Quite well.
The great hero would go around defeating the forces of evil. The things that were also considered evil were the smugglers who dealt in shady goods like ves or drugs, the merchants who circted them, as well as the customers who desired those goods.
This wasmonly known as darkmerce.
In the 1st episode, the heros party destroyed much of the dark dealings spread throughout this fantasy continent and found out a lot of passwords and locations of secret hideouts.
By no means was it a pleasant adventure. I had lost friends who were alright along the way.
?Race: Human
?Level: 54
?Job: Assassin (In Night TimeConcealment)
?Skills: Stealth(D) Tracking(E) Business(E) Concealment(E) Cleaning(F)
?Status: Tense
Tony was a former assassin. He, who had opened a pub after retiring, was a friend who had taught me the way to live in this savage world when I was lost. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that he was my spiritual mentor.
While I wanted to form a good rtionship with him this time as well like in the 1st episode, the bothersome Lanuvel was present, and I hadnte here to rekindle a past friendship.
I spoke in the nguage of promise that was only used in the ck market.
Tony. Has some stock of good liquor arrived today?
I will amodate you a little if you give me a price you would like.
Alright!
I had been worried about what I would do if the nguage of promise was different as the timing was too early, but it turned out I was fretting for naught.
I inwardly yelled out in delight as I continued the conversation.
Tony. Dont make me speak thrice.
Huht! This lowly one has been rude.
Lanuvel who was sitting beside me with her buttocks firmly against her seat cluelessly whispered Hero-nim. Youve only spoken once., but I cleanly ignored her.
The 1st time was the question, 2nd time his name.
3 times in total.
Your Lordship has good fortune. ck-Dragon, a 27-year-old stout that came in today. The vor will be even better if taken with roast mutton.
The liquor that came in today. This would reveal the time and ce of the next ck market. For instance, if Tony were to say that some good liquor came in two days ago, it could be interpreted as It will open two dayster.. And the 27-year-old ck-Dragon pointed to the exact location of the ck market. In addition to this, the promised location couldpletely change depending on the serving bartenders expression and position.
Today?
That is so.
You wouldnt have already opened the bottle, right?
It would be better to aim for the next auction if it had already begun.
If that were the case I would have introduced another liquor.
Ahh, I apologize. Im quite the suspicious fellow you see. Tony. One more question while Im at it. Is the quality of mutton good?
Roast mutton. This meant that the main product of this times ck market were ves. Although they were hard to find on Earth where democracy and ideas of equality were prevalent, ves were quitemonly traded in this savage world. Thews slightly differed by the region, but most countries prohibited the envement of humans aside from prisoners of war.
Hence, it was illegal.
You can look forward to it.
Tony replied in a tone full of confidence. Bluffs and exaggerations were extremely dangerous in this line of business, which was why it was safe to objectively consider that the ves to be auctioned in the uing ck market would be of good quality. This was very satisfying news to me.
Ill keep the order as is, mutton for two.
Mutton for two. I will prepare it at once.
I reserved two seats for the illegal auction of darkness.

Chapter 6 - Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong!
Chapter 6: Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong!
After leaving the gloomy pub, we made our way towards the ck markets promised location at a slightly quick pace. Originally we had time to spare, but owing to Lanuvel saying eating mutton by itself would be greasy and additionally ordering sd and so on, we were held back quite a bit.
Having eaten her fill to satisfaction, Lanuvel fixed a stare on my face.
What?
Hero-nim. Do you know that bartender?
Tony? I know him well.
He was a wonderful friend who taught me about women and survival of the fittest back when I was an innocent high schooler. I would have opened a business together with him had I not been a hero.
How did you know his name?
Cause Im a hero.
Although former assassin Tony was a true friend whom I knew well in the 1st episode, that didnt mean I had lied to Lanuvel previously.
The perk of a hero wasnt just the 5 times bonus experience.
I was capable of freely seeing the status abilities of others. I had wondered as to why only I could see them, but I realized why after listening to Professor Morals talk it was a form of consideration so that the hero candidate wouldnt be unable to distinguish between the weak and the strong, throwing themselves at a powerful foe from the start and dying a dogs death.
This ability was still in effect in the 2nd episode as well.
Wow! Then can you see my abilities as well?
Of course. Level 200.
?Race: Human
?Level: 200
?Job: Schr(Knowledge=Sorcery)
?Skills: Magic(A) Sorcery(A) Charm(B) Cooking(B) Eternal Youth(C)
?Status: Interested
Level 200.
It couldnt evenpare to the weakest underling of Demon King Pedonars. But because Lanuvels Skill Ranks were on the extremely high end, her potential alone could be appraised as remarkable. Rtively speaking, the Skill Ranks ofmon folk were extremely low.
To give an idea
?Race: Human
?Level: 8
?Job: Thief(During DaytimeFortune)
?Skills: Sight(E) Escape(F) Murder(F)
?Status: Nervous
This was about the standard an average person would achieve upon reaching adulthood. Like this young man who was stealthily stretching out his hand toward the money bag hung by Lanuvels waist, not to mention their Skills, even their levels were very much pathetic. And they would remain that way until they died.
Ah?!
Lanuvel let out a short scream.
At the same time I made my move as well. Not even looking towards the panicking Lanuvel, I pushed out my left foot to the left as if by reflex.
Tok.
The thief tripped over my foot and crashed to the ground. But the thief who hadnt let go of the money bag he stole quickly tried to get up. Still, I was faster this time as well.
Kugh?!
I kneed the thief in the small of his back and pressed down, in the spot between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae where a herniated disc was most prone to ur. Waist pain would be a given if not treated in time, and daily life would be difficult due to numbing of the legs.
It was one of the spots I liked to target.
Ho-oh? Arent you quite a tenacious one?
The young thief whose face was twisted in pain didnt loosen his right hand which was holding onto the money bag. He wildly waved around his empty left hand in resistance.
If, at this point, this thief had decisively given up the money bag, then there would have been a chance for him to run away from me.
The thief was Level 8; his physical abilities were superior to what I had as a Level 1. However, his greed brought disaster upon himself.
I delivered a forceful knifehand strike to the band of the thiefs neck. It was an action I had repeated over the past 10 years to the point of tediousness murder.
Crack.
I heard the appalling sound of neck bone breaking. I had struck the spot between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, where students and office workers who would sit for long periods of time would be frequently afflicted with cervical herniated discs. You needed to take good care of your neck unless you wanted to suffer numb arms and stiff shoulders.
Though this thief wouldnt be able to look after himself, ever.
That was clean.
Not a drop of blood had stained my clothes, much less a speck of dust. The nobles and the wealthy would be crowding to the ck market from now, so it wouldnt be good for appearances to have blood on me.
Lanuvel spoke as she picked up the money bag.
Hero-nim seems to be familiar with killing.
A bit.
It had seemed idiotic so I gave up counting from the 100th murder Imitted.
I wasnt the strange one. There were truly many killers in this savage world, the reason being that rarely was there a man who hadnt experienced one war in their lifetime. Thats why the average Level of adult men was Level 3. On the other hand, the majority of women were Level 1 regardless of age.
Returning to the previous subject
The young thief I had killed was Level 8, far beyond the average Level 3 of adult men. Where could he have secured so much experience points? I wondered. From his Skill set, he neither appeared to be a former hunter nor soldier.
I reached an answer immediately.
It meant the young thief was a wicked person who had murdered dozens of innocent civilians. Though the story would be different if he had the job of Hero like me.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 4
?Job: Hero(500% Experience Bonus)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) Fortitude(F) Sword Ki(F) Assassination(F) Murder(F)
?Status: Good
My Level had risen by leaps. Although it was thanks to the Hero perk 5 times experience booster, I had gained a pretty good amount of experience points because he had a high Level for a thief.
I had a good feeling going from my first hunt.
Ah! Right, Hero-nim. Didnt your Level go up?
It did.
It had reached Level 4 no less. This was at the standard of an athlete of Earth.
Ill exin the reason behind it. All living animals and nts possess a power inside of them. Some grow stronger as they develop, but the majority can only increase their power by stealing or consuming, and the umted power is shown in the form of Level in your status abilities.
It was from this point on that the insanity of the Fantasy world began.
A system wherein you would grow stronger the more you killed. It was a story setting which you would lightly pass over in a growing-type role-ying game, but it would be a nightmarish world of survival in reality.
Kill your neighbors, do so and you shall be strong!
The Fantasy God was definitely a pervert.
*
*
*
I left the thiefs corpse to the security squad patrolling the market. Lanuvel guaranteed our statuses so we were able to lightly pass over the incident. Naturally, the truth that I was the Hero wasnt revealed. In a few days rumors would explode throughout the entire kingdom, but hiding it until then would make it easier for me to move around.
Lanuvel. Take good care of the money bag.
Okay~!
Stop acting cute.
Okay
From my experiences, there wouldnt be any more customers with slippery hands today. The danger we posed was bound to have been made known around here after all.
Are you Tonys customer?
In a dark and shady alleyway, at the promised ce which lead to the ck market, a scrawny-looking youth asked me this question politely.
The Dark Commerce which worked in the shadows of all the continents of this fantasy world was by no means an easy opponent. Their level of security could bepared to a case of mysophobia, so even if you caught their tail it would be hard to arrive at their body. Even in the 1st episode I was ultimately unable to find the head.
Not a customer, but an archenemy.
I didnt get careless until thest moment and spoke the promised password.
Hahah! Please follow me.
The youth gave an amiable smile and immediately lead the way, following which we arrived at a 2-story wooden building.
It looked extremely ordinary from the outside. Even the interiors were the same as a wealthy home of the kingdoms capital until you entered one of its rooms.
Lanuvel murmured to herself as she looked at the diagram drawn on the floor.
This is a spatial transfer magic circle. The materials that went into it should be terribly expensive
Spatial transfer magic circle. True to its name, it was a magic circle that transferred space. Anybody could activate this magic circle that was drawn by an excellent mage, as long as a sufficient catalyst was inserted and the promisedmand was spoken.
The ck market folk arepletely thorough, you see.
A spatial transfer magic circle wasnt a cheap item, but it was in fact cheap when taking into ount the amount of money traded at the ck market, its products, and the safety and trust of its customers.
Lanuvel continued to look about.
Woah I didnt know at all. I thought that the capitals ck market would naturally be hidden somewhere in the capital.
Dont get surprised at every little thing like a country bumpkin.
Wuu Hero-nim is the strange one I tell you.
Even though Lanuvel had called me Hero-nim several times, the expression of the youth who had guided us to this point was calm andposed; he was thinking it was an alias that we had decided on in advance.
Sir. Please wear this.
We received masks for the purpose of hiding our identities and wore them.
I had a wolf mask, and Lanuvel a fox mask.
While there were the asional attention whores who boldly roamed the ck market without a mask, I couldnt do the same as the Hero who would be renown here and there in the future.
I would like to get a bit of a move on.
Yes, sir.
After the youth confirmed that we had worn our asks and stood atop the magic circle, he quietly muttered the promisedmand. Soon afterwards, the magic circle enveloped in light activated.
Shine!
We were instantly transferred to somewhere else from the wooden building. That ce was a pitch-dark underground. I held back Lanuvel from trying to use illuminating magic, as that could provoke the guards lurking in the surroundings.
This was a ce I had experienced in the 1st episode. A secret hideout built by the Dark Commerce beneath a forest to the south of the kingdoms capital. It was frequently used as a ck marketce until some moron who was fascinated by a cult performed a demon summoning here. I hade here several times purely as a customer.
It is an honor that you came to our market.
The middle-aged guide who appeared out of the darkness gave a courteous greeting. I merely slightly nodded my head before asking a question.
The auction?
It will begin soon. As time is short, I will guide you to your reserved seat after a quick exnation. If you wish to bid, you can lightly press the bell in front of your seat. Payment must always be made in advance, and we receive only coins and gems. We do not take responsibility for problems or losses that result from taking off your own mask or revealing your own identity.
I already knew of these things, but it should be Lanuvels first time hearing it.
Miss Extra. You carefully listened to the guides exnation, yes?
Im not an extra, Im Lammph?!
You should just keep your mouth shut.
I took away my hand from the mouth of Lanuvel who was frantically nodding.
Archaeologist Lanuvel. She was quite famous in the middle continent of Fantasia. But what was she trying to do by revealing her name at a ck market? Things had gone well up to the point of ripping off a load of money from the Dumpling King, but I simply couldnt rest at ease with this caretaker.
Follow me.
We swiftly moved through a dark tunnel under the lead of the guide. It was absolutely taboo to make trouble here if you didnt want to be buried alive that is.
Hero-nim. Explosion magic circles are set up everywhere.
Lanuvel whispered.
I knew this as well. No, I had fully realized it in my experience from the 1st episode.
It has a deep meaning of never make trouble here if you dont want to get buried 5 floors underground.
Aha!
We passed through the dark tunnel and arrived in a spacious area. There wasnt a single window as it was underground, yet it was as bright as day on the surface and the air was pleasant.
May you have a fruitful time.
The guide took his leave after bidding a polite farewell.
The area we were lead to resembled an awards stage at a broadcasting station. It was a thrust stage which extended into the gallery seats, so that the customers would be able to see the products, ves, in full detail.
All the customers were seated separately ording to their respectivepanions for the sake of privacy. Prepared on top of the round tables which were allocated to each seat were some simple refreshments, and a pure-gold tabletop bell.
This was precisely the ck market, where the Hero-nims perk would y an active role.
Well then, we will now be starting the auction!
p p p!
p p!
The auction host finished his greeting to the dry apuse of the customers, and the first merchandise shackled in manacles climbed onto the stage.
A seasoned warrior who has survived in the territory of demons! Can you see these scars all over his body? It was by good fortune we found him when he had just in a powerful demon and was on the verge of dying, so we healed him! The seasoned warrior offered himself as a ve in order to repay this debt! Suitable as a diator or bodyguard!
Was it truly so? I wondered.
Lets check his status.
?Race: Human

Seasoned warrior my ass!
No matter how prettily packaged, it wouldnt work on me. His Fortune being the only highly ranked Skill he had, strangely enough, there was no blind fool that would pay to buy such a weakling full of hot air. This wasnt a flea market where only a couple of pennies would exchange hands. The people here had an extremely discerning eye for goo-
Ding-Dong!
Ding-Dong!
Ding-Dong!
It seemed like everyone had a lot of money to spend.

Chapter 7 - Black Market rhymes with…
Chapter 7: ck Market rhymes with
Ah! I see Hero-nims n! You intend on buying excellent ves and taking them in aspanions, right? Thats a simr way of thinking to the heroes of ancient!
Lanuvels eyes that were full of expectations sparkled like the Milky Way. I couldntpletely deny her spection; in the 1st ythrough, there was really a time when I did this. I had once paid a fortune at the ck market to buy a foolish woman who got herself caught trying to save her kin who was kidnapped by ve hunters. A woman who was the future Elf King
A bothersome character whose head contained nothing but hatred for humans.
Ding-Dong!
Ding-Dong!
But even now, the auction went on.
Just how much money were they wasting for a Level 11 Warrior? The value of the seasoned warrior soared like a geyser as the biddings ended up turning into a fight of pride that was typical of nobles. These people were all out of their minds.
But anyway, Hero-nim. I feel like that mister ve over there is really strong. Look at those glorious scars all over his body and his fierce-looking brows. Ah! But the scathing Hero-nim is still cooler, of course!
Lets just not talk anymore.
The weak warrior who had nothing but good fortune was finally sold at an unbelievable sum which could buy 5rge sailing ships, that is.
I felt faint despite that it wasnt my money being spent.
What a pity.
Miss Extra, theres nothing to feel pity about. The real auction starts now. If we spend our money sovishly like that from the very beginning, well only find ourselves sucking our thumbs when there are goods we really want to buyter on.
Though of course, you could still miss out on everything if you were too thrifty.
The auctioneer presented the second merchandise.
Look at her delicate skin. She is a daughter from a noble family that was captured by demons. It was by coincidence that we picked her up from the street. I will let the gentlemen of the night to find out themselves whether she really is a noble! The dress and the essories are included!
Shall I see whether she really is a noble?
?Race: Human
?Level: 1
?Job: ve(EXP 50%)
?Skills: Elegance(D) Charm(E) Song and Dance(E) Social Interaction(F) Etiquette(F)
?Status: Humiliated
It was clear that she was a daughter of nobility without having to look any further. The skills she possessed were the kind that were difficult for amoner girl in this fantasy world to attain.
Hero-nim. Thatdy
Ill have you know beforehand, but we didnte here for fun. Saving a noble loyal to the kingdom is the royal familys job, not ours. Remember that.
Alright
Subdued by the intensity of my attitude, Lanuvel fell silent.
And in any case, there was nothing much to worry about. Even if fallen from grace, a noble was a noble. There would be no moron who would seek out a youngdy with education and etiquette as a sex partner. She was very likely to be a personal maid of a nobledy or daughter, though it would be hard to expect a life asfortable as the one she had before. But she wouldnt be treated as horribly as Lavunel imagined.
Congrattions!
p p p!
The female ve who was sold expensively to a noble left the stage. Seeing how the price she was bought for wasnt low, her fate was sure to be quite good. It has always been that a ves treatment would be proportional to their price.
Lanuvel asked cautiously, Will she be okay?
She will. Shell be much safer and happier than if we were to take her away and poorly look after her. I guarantee you this.
No master would carelessly mistreat an expensive ve though I couldnt say there was really no one like that.
You talk like you know everything.
I do.
I knew too well, almost to a fault.
Memories of the 1st ythrough shed across my mind in session. If the Fairy Queen was here, she would have taken it upon herself to wreck the auction by force and free all the ves. No, there were times when she had actually just went ahead on her own in matters without consulting me, the Hero. She didnt think about the aftermath.
When I think of what I had to endure cleaning up after that bitchs mess, I
-Should just split her skull in half if I meet her this time.
Hero-nim?
Its nothing.
After that, the auction gained momentum and proceeded quickly. I repeatedly called out some probing bids several times here and there as well. While I wanted splurge as I pleased, I was being careful since the amount of gold in the pouch wasnt infinite.
And then, the opportunity came.
?Race: Human
?Level: 286
?Job: Mercenary(WealthSurvivability)
?Skills: Spearmanship(C) Tenacity(D) Survivability(D) Camping(E) Cooking(E)
?Status: Hungry, Weakened
The man who staggered up onto the stage was in a dazed state. His pupils were devoid of focus and he was emaciated due to theck of nutrition but I could clearly see his true value.
Level 286.
His skills and status were no concern to me in any way. His Level was higher than any of the ves that had been presented on the stage so far.
That was the important point.
Here is a mercenary who was active in the northern region of the kingdom. While he may look like this due to having refused to eat for very long, he possesses an outstanding spearmanship! Youll be able to put him to great use as long as he regains his health!
The auctioneer tried his best, but the patrons were anything but hyped. It was because trying to convince a ve, who had lost his will to live, to work for you was a hassle in itself.
And if you were to fail convincing him in the end?
You would have just wasted your money. And this was why they couldnt help but be reluctant about making a bid.
Bid on him.
But I was the very opposite. That mercenary was exactly the ve I was looking for, perfectly fitting the bill.
Okay!
Ding-Dong!
Lanuvel rang the tabletop bell on my order. The other patrons dived into the bidding fight a stepte, but they quickly gave up like an ebbing tide after a tentative probe.
Are there no more bids?
Anyone who saw the dead fish-like eyes of the mercenary ve would have been the same. The patrons assembled here believed in their own judgements. The bidding would have been 5 times greater had he been in a normal state.
After sweeping his gaze across everyone present, the auctioneer started to count down.
Three, two, one Congrattions! Dear wolf-masked visitor. You have bought a good merchandise at a very good price!
It was just as the auctioneer who was congratting me said.
It was a bargain purchase. The other patrons around me might not agree, but that was the limit of those who werent capable of seeing the status abilities of others.
Cling!
Lanuvel who took out the gold coins from the money bag quickly finished settling the purchase. And then she drew her lips close to my ears and asked, Did you see the mercenarys status abilities?
Yeah. Level 286.
My god What a jackpot! Thats close to Mr. Alexs Level!
Now that was a line that would make the future Sword King feel sad.
The reason why this mercenarys Level was significantly high was simple: he had gone around to all kinds of ces and killed many of all sorts of things, although this was no easy feat either.
The time period when Alex truly became strong and gained the title of Sword King would follow after the incident of when the kingdom pce he was in charge of defending was utterly razed to the ground by a raid of demons. Before that happened he was weak due to his low Level, and this was because the pce was extremely peaceful in usual times. There was a limit to how high you could raise your level by catching thieves with an average Level of 5.
Dear patron, here is the key and contract.
Leave it on the table.
The mercenary we purchased stood waiting behind our table. His arms and legs were shackled so that he couldnt make any funny moves, and two security guards of good builds nked him on both sides to monitor him.
The Dark Commerce it may be a den of evil, but you had to give them praise where praise was due their service was fantastic.
At that moment, Lanuvel who had made clinking noises while checking the contents of the money bag, which was still as heavy as ever, asked a strange question with a beaming smile on her face.
Hero-nim, are we going back now?
Having made a sensible purchase just now, I was in a good mood. I decided to admonish her nicely.
You, does your head hurt or something? The shopping starts now.
*
*
*
The auction had now entered the middle phase. It was the perfect timing where the expenditure of the fired up patrons increased due to the fierce bidding war, but the state of my wallet was still adequate. At this time, many good quality items would be presented.
Even I ended up bing excited for no particr reason.
Hero-nim. I feel sick inside.
Lanuvel uttered tension-draining words from the side.
Here, people bought and sold other people. Feeling an aversion to this ce, her expression was extremely dark. But still she had managed to stay quiet without ring up or going on a rampage; honestly, it was to the point that I wanted to praise her. If she were to go wild in this ck market which was 5 floors underground, the oue would be 100% death after all.
Everyone was equal before the threat of being buried alive. And even the Hero was no exception to that.
Bear with it a little more.
I didnt have the intention to stay long even if not for Lanuvels whining; the patrons would end up running drastically low on coins when the fierce bidding in the auctions middle phase passed, and from that point on the ck market would only present petty items that matched the contents of their wallets.
It wasnt as if Id been only twiddling my thumbs and watching all this while. I had been repeatedly calling probing bids and giving it up when a good ve was presented. The money bag provided by the Dumpling King was bulging as ever, but for the time being I had to make do with what I had because of Professor Morals nagging.
The fruit of todays work was one mercenary ve. Not bad.
Its about time we g-
I froze when I was just about to get up from my seat. And this was because the utterly unexpected had happened right now.
The auctioneer shouted, This here is an Elf that we picked up in that famous forest located in the southernmost reaches of the continent! As you can see, her mind is a little broken, but her looks and lineage are of certain quality. And she is chaste. This is a golden opportunity that cannot be missed out on for those patrons who wish for an excellent 2nd generation!
Ohh!
Ohh!
A fantasy world would hardly be fantasy without Elves.
In English, they were called Elves.
They were a higher race whose very existence summed up the desires of humans. Their average lifespans wereparable to that of Maidenhair Trees(2000~3000 years), and those of pure blood who were called royals were half-immortal. Their bone-thin physiques and pointy ears were what distinguished them, and their ears were concentrated erogenous zones so when you touched them, they would react sensitiv- Mm?
Their sole weak point was their ability to procreate. Following thews of nature, the Elves who had long lifespans had extremely low birth rates. It was at the level of having to use contraceptive pills at all times. And to make matters worse, they had about as much desire for sex as an impotent man or a monk. This was where the misunderstanding and illusion of Elves being noble existences came from.
And as a result
Ding-Dong!
Ding-Dong!
Ding-Dong!
The Elves, who lost in the struggle fornd against the humans who in contrast had both high reproductive capabilities and vigorous sexual urges, fled into the depths of their forests just as the North American Indians had during the times of the American frontier.
And then they were reduced to be sport to be hunted.
If Elves had lived on Earth, the environmental organization Greenpeace would have protected them, but there were nothing but poachers in this barbaric world.
Hero-nim. That Elf, is weird.
Lanuvel, whose eyes had begun to shine with light when the Elf was presented, quietly whispered into my ears. Gone was her whimpering appearance,ining about feeling sick.
There was no doubt that she, who was an excellent Magician, had also sensed it that this Elf was special.
?Race: Elf
?Level: 851
?Job: Archer
?Skills: Archery(A) Swift Marksmanship(B) Sight(C) Tracking(D) Elemental(D)
?Status: Cursed, Sealed, Poisoned, Exhausted, Anesthetized
There was nothing to think about.
Ding-Dong!
I participated in the bidding.
The other patrons were focused on the beautiful physique and the lineage of the Elf. But I wouldnt have cared even if this Elf had been male, impotent, retarded or ugly.
It was a jackpot as long as her Level was high.
Level 851.
It was the same Level as the pet dog which the Demon King Pedonar raised. This Level would match up to a middle rank demon, I would say? But taking into ount that she had the advantage of a superior race and her Skill ranks were high, she would be around the middle-high rank
But at present, such evaluations were meaningless.
Her status sure is like a jar of rainbows.
I couldnt help but smile wryly.
The Curse she was first afflicted with was likely the doing of a demon. It was a status ailment you would receive upon being defeated by a powerful demon of high rank or greater. This Curse greatly lowered the Level of the victim. If you were around Level 800 like that Elf, it could go down as low as Level 80.
It was a reduction of all your abilities to a tenth of their original. For starters, getting afflicted by it would spell a state of living death.
And as for the Sealed, Poisoned, Exhausted and Anaesthetized status ailments after that? These were no doubt added over multiple stages by the Dark Commerce who captured the Elf so that she wouldnt be able to resist treating her as you would a ferocious leopardess.
Ding-Dong!
Ding-Dong!
Ding-Dong!
The bidding was intense.
But it fizzled down in a matter of moments like firecrackers at a fireworks festival.
The other patrons didnt know of this Elfs Level which was why they didnt spread wide their wallets; they werent going over the price line which they viewed as reasonable.
It was only because Elves were rare that she had quite the pricey tag on her. Normally, it was the young and tough warriors who were regarded far highly. Because this was a barbaric world.
Strength spoke for everything.
A man who haggled over beautiful women using money was a coward. Only a man who used strength to obtain a woman would be treated as a true man among men. And you didnt exactly need to be strong yourself. Whether it be by ves or mercenaries, you only needed to steal the women of others who were rtively weaker by using power.
Only those with courage can obtain beauties.
This saying was correct.
But you wouldnt be able to protect a beauty without power. And this was why the value of warriors was higher than that of beauties.
What a beautiful fantasy world, was it not?
Now then! Lets press the bell with my all.
Ding-Dong!
Another bid from Sir Wolf-Mask! Hes a tough one! Are there no more people willing to challenge this gentleman?
All the other patrons shook their heads.
Although they acknowledged that this Elf was a rare beauty, they judged that with a such a high price tag on her, it would be of greater benefit to hire another powerful warrior instead. The auctioneer also seemed satisfied at the final bidding price.
He slowly began to count down.
Three, two
Boom!
But it was in that very moment that a loud sound violently exploded throughout the auction.

Chapter 8 - Kiss of Death
Chapter 8: Kiss of Death
One of the ck market entrances had copsed.
This was no natural phenomenon. It was a sign that an uninvited guest, one so powerful that even the hidden guards in that pitch-ck tunnel could not stop, had barged in.
It should have been normal to be helplessly buried alive when a tunnel 5 floors underground copsed, but the uninvited guest wasnt one to be so easily dealt with.
The tunnel ceased to fall apart as if had never copsed to begin with.
Squirm, squirm.
It was all because the dirt, rock and such that were indiscriminately falling from the cracks in the tunnel ceiling had begun to move as if they were living creatures.
An Earth Elemental.
It was a pure soul which existed within great nature.
Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart!
They were ethereal creatures of this fantasy world which were said to be capable of facing even the Demon King Pedonar if all five elements were gathered as one.
Someone who had be intimate with these Elementals would be able to wield miracles more incredible than even the spells of magicians with but a simple request.
Just like what was happening now.
Rumble!
Instead of copsing, the tunnel grew even wider than before. The tremendous mass of dirt and rock that were pressing down from above were being pushed outwards in reverse and being solidly hardened.
It would be difficult to achieve this with just a couple of Elementals. There had to be a dozen at the least. This level of affinity wasnt possible for just anyone. If there was one race capable of so skillfully employing Elementals
It must be an Elf!
An Elf Elementalist has broken in!
Stop that Elf! Guards! Guards!
it couldnt be any other than the Elves who were considered as a higher form of humans.
The guards who were hidden in various ces throughout the ck market moved in perfect unison. They mobilized their entire force as the Dark Commerce would suffer a loss of reputation if their patrons either were injured or died.
The average Level of the guards was 150, higher than most knights of the kingdom. It was a testimony to how many hellish encounters they had survived through and as befitting of guards under the Dark Commerce, they were all the fiercest of the bunch.
On the other hand.
Everyone attack!
Let us save our brethren!
The intruders were arge number of Elves.
They were donned in battle vests unique to Elves which boasted enhanced defensive capabilities, woven out ofyers ofyers of a silk spun from a special silkworm. Their main weapon was the bow, only intermittently using Elementals or their swords.
Their average Level of 200 was higher than the ck market guards. But this ce was the center of enemy territory and they were decidedly at a numerical disadvantage.
Yet despite it all, the Elves werent pushed back in the least.
Elementals!
The reason behind this was the presence of a certain woman in their midst who had cried out loudly. She had longer ears than the other Elves. Her outfit was no different from the others yet the atmosphere surrounding here was different.
And it was only natural that was so.

An Elf royal hade all the way to grace this filthy ck market with her presence. And whats more, she was a familiar face.
That strange, nasty hobby of hers remained unchanged from the 1st ythroughin order to save her brethren, she would push even more of her people into danger.
Elf Queen Silvia.
Although she was no more than a princess at present, after the death of the current Elf King due to a coup dtat, she would give up her adventuring to return to her homnd and inherit the throne.
So that made her the future Elf Queen.
Her Level was still low as she had yet to set out on her adventures, but as someone born gifted, the rank of her Skills were no inferior than they were in her primethey were extremely high. In particr, Elemental(S) was a total beast.
Uaargh?!
Sa-, save me~!
Its fire!
Every time the Fire Elementals in the form of snakes spat mes and pounced, the guards would be frightened out of their wits as they screamed. They tried using magic to somehow fight back, but the number of Elementals was overwhelmingly high.
The Elves who had apanied Princess Silvia as her guards were also strong. Their skill in the bow was superb, sniping the enemy magicians in the rear who were chanting spells.
Sir Wolf-Mask! This way!
The professional attitude of the ck market staff who prioritized the evacuation of their guests even in the midst of this situation almost brought tears to my eyes.
While on the other hand
Hero-nim. Shall we also help out in the rescue?
Lanuvel suggested this as if mocking their efforts.
Hum
Lanuvel summoned a half-transparent shield with magic. She was using it to diligently block the fireballs shooting over from everywhere.
Her expression wasnt one of fright or of panic. She had an honest gaze that spoke of wanting to help the Elves who broke in and teach the ck market a lesson. She had been feeling ufortable all throughout the auction proceedings, and now it seemed she had finally exploded.
I could understand that noble sense of justice very well.
You should just go and wait in the safety zone.
Eh?! Howe?!
Even though I had said so many times not to talk back
Helping out in the rescue you say? Are you dumb? What about the mercenary we saved just moments ago? Should we just leave him to die like this? Goodness! To think youd abandon arade wholl be sticking with us from now on! Im telling you, thats not how you live life.
Ah
All of the other patrons aside from us had already escaped, but a significant number of ves whose movements were restricted by shackles had ended up meaninglessly dying due to getting swept up in the ongoing battle.
I gave Lanuvel a push from behind.
As the Hero, Ill handle things on my own here. Go wait at the safety zone along with our newrade. And take good care of the money bag.
Aww Okay.
Lanuvel was forced to go, and the mercenary who didnt want to die obediently followed under her protection.
And then there was just me.
Just as nned.
Auctioneer!
Gasp! Sir! Why arent you runn-
Just answer what Im going to ask. That Elf is my possession, correct?
The auctioneer gave an exact answer even in the midst of his panic.
That is indeed so. Although paying in advance is the basic rule, the Elf without doubt belongs to you, sir, as you have clearly won the bid in this situation. From now on, the right to decide the fate of this Elf lies with you, Sir Wolf-Mask. And so, pleasee with me to the safety zone. The Elf will not resist much as she has been fed anesthetic.
The auctioneer was no fool. On the contrary, he belonged to the ranks of extremely clever elites. He had realized the truth that this Elf ve was the objective of the Elf intruders, and had also figured out the battle wasnt going in their favor.
He had no time to take care of an Elf who was drugged and cursedand that was why he decided to pass over this burden over to me, the patron.
Ill say, youre quite the able man.
His reply had been exactly the one I was waiting to hear.
You overpraise me.
At the end of those words, the auctioneer drew the sword by his hip. It turned out that this man who had been like a clown atop the auction stage was all along the true hidden expert of this ck market. On the other hand, the ck market elites who had devoted themselves to moving the patrons with poor protection over to the safety zone began to assemble one after another.
I could guess what would happen in the future.
The future Elf Queen would be captured alive here, and then be reduced to a ve. She would be openly disyed for sale in this ck market without so much as a scratch inflicted on her even despite this mess she caused. She wouldnt suffer vulgar acts of revenge such as being vited or being beaten.
That would drop the value of the merchandise, after all.
And after making the sale, a part of the profit would be sent to the bereaved families of the guards who had been killed.
Although that would be quite the interesting development in its own way
Hello, Miss Elf.
I started talking to the Level 851 Elf who was the origin of this incident.
You are?
She had managed to immediately size me up even in her clouded state of mind. It seemed she had instinctively realized I was no ordinary human.
Ill get straight to the point. Silvia will surrender if you remain alive. Do you get my meaning?
The future Elf Queen hadnt been defeated in battle. In the situation where all the other Elves who fought alongside her had died and only she stood strong, the higher-ups of the ck market took this Elf here as hostage.
Ovee by the guilt of having driven her subordinates and friends to their deaths, she gave up on fighting and was caught. And then she was sold as ve.
I had heard the gist of this story from the person involved herself.
Yes. That child is tender-hearted.
It seemed this Elf had properly understood what I meant. Despite her enfeebled state, drugged and cursed, she could manage to show an expression ofposure that spoke of the resolve to die and be sacrificed. It was the kind of determination impossible for me, someone who feared death.
She was like a fireworks going out in a final, beautiful ze of glory.
I roughly hugged the slender waist of the Elf with my left arm, and with my right supported the back of her neck and held her head fixed.
And then I kissed her deeply.
Mm
Mmph?!
Thump thump. She made a weak attempt to resist using her powerless fists, butsted only a moment. When I gently tickled the end of her pointy ear, as if by reflex, she hugged both her arms around my back in a groping manner and began to respond to my kiss.
We sucked on each others tongue and saliva, indulging deeply in the act. She was clumsy as if this was the first time in her life doing such a thing, but she was immensely passionate.
Through her actions, the feelings in this Elfs heart was transmitted to me, deeply.
She was worried for Princess Silvia. She didnt want the princess to surrender for somebody like her. She didnt want her to experience the miserable life of a ve for even a moment. I could feel that sincere hope from each and every movement she made.
Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy myself as well.
Thank you, really.
Crack-!
The two wide-open eyes of the Elf gently closed. Her neck broken, her slender limbs went limp to hang loosely.
It hadnt been difficult due to the demons curse which had reduced roughly 90% of her Level.
I parted my lips from hers as if savoring the final aftertaste, and then neatlyy here on the ground.
I had killed a Level 851 Elf.
The game system really is fantastically retarded!
And then I felt an immense power well up within me.

This amount of progress would have easily taken a year had I taken the normal route. However, my Level had experienced an explosive increase in one go by killing a Level 851 Elf. Whats more was that this Elf had blessed me as she died.
Is this humming I hearing from me?
Hnn~ Hum~??
Things like talent or lineage werent necessary. Anybody could be strong so long as you killed the strong by whatever method or means.
Hmm. But I suppose you would need a bit of effort and luck to kill them?
In any case, it was an opportunity that was open to anyone and everyone.
A beautiful fantasy world, brimming with dreams and hopes!
Of course, it was only nice when I was doing the winning.
Sir Wolf-Mask?! How could you do such a thing to your?!
The auctioneer was shocked; he couldnt understand the reason why I had killed an Elf I had paid a fortune for. He had been wearing that look of shock from the moment the Elf and I had started sharing a hot kiss in the midst of this chaos.
It was understandable for him to be confused.
Theres no problem. Ill pay up the correct amount.
The reason being that what I did was the very epitome of waste from the perspective of others. Rather than killing a powerful Level 851 warrior to raise your level, it would be overwhelmingly more beneficial to win that warrior over and have him as your subordinate. No, in the first ce, the truth that this Elf was Level 851 wasnt even known in this ck market.
But I was the Hero. I had the perk of a five-fold experience bonus.
In short, it meant that what I did was no different than killing five Level 851 Elves. And that wasnt the end of it either. There were still plenty of experience remaining around
Whistle-!
An arrowhead grazed past my cheek.
It was shot by an Elf archer. I had been identified as an enemy from the moment she witnessed me killing the Level 851 Elf from quite close-by.
She had a pretty face that was twisted by fury and sorrow. And it wasnt only that archer who was enraged.
How dare you do such a thing to Master!
The future Elf Queen cried out as if weeping.
Apparently, the Level 851 Elf I had killed was her mentor. Seeing how the mastery of Elementals wasrgely influenced by natural talent, perhaps she had learnt archery from that Elf.
The other Elves who had been in the midst of battle began to re at me as well. The look in their eyes was rather turbulent, so much so that they would have charged at me all together had it not been for the ck market guards standing in their way.
Really now
Shiing-
I picked up a sword, its shape unclear in the darkness, which had fallen to the ground. It wasnt a heavy great-sword which I favored, but a bastard sword which was halfway between a one-handed and two-handed sword. Still, it was perfect for casual-use before tossing away.
My current Level was 165. The things I couldnt do as a Level 4 had now be possible.
For example:
Now then! Its time to get shin for my dream!
I did as much work as I was paid to do.
So there would be no urrence of the Elf Princess ending up a ve. Grin.

I slightly bent my knees before kicking off in a sprint. But dispiritingly, my Level 165 body began screaming out in protest from the start. I had thought this would get a little better if my Level rose butpared to my prime when I busted the Demon Kings ass, Level 4 or Level 165 was small fry level all the same.
But this was all rtively speaking as well.

?Status: Battling Hard
This was the status of the Elf archer who had wounded my cheek. Her skill set wascking in focus and even her reaction to my approach was poor. She didnt try to create distance as if thinking her arrow shots would only naturally make their mark.
The Elf released the bowstring of her bow.
Twang
The arrow shot forth in a straight line urately targeting my vital as I charged forward. It was such a straightforward attack that it put me on the verge ofughing.
Oh,e on. I can see where your eyes are looking.
Ting! Swip! Ting!
I either dodged the iing arrows or parried them with my sword. Perhaps it might have been different had those arrows, which drew a parab as they came flying, contained a fantasy-like element such as changing trajectory or elerating by influence of a Wind Elemental or magic, but these kinds of ordinary arrow shots were no different than childs y. Whats more, she was even telling me where she was targeting with her pretty little eyes.
Ho-, how?!
The Elf btedly retreated with a face of disbelief. Her decision of swiftly abandoning the bow and drawing the dagger by her hip despite her panic was impressive. It was just that her response was mistaken.
Fwrrsh!
Also taking into ount the Fire Elemental which was targeting my side, I vertically shed down my raised bastard sword.
Hieek-?!
The Elf hurriedly raised her dagger horizontally above her head to block, but it failed to stop the momentum of the sword which carried the entire weight of my body. I lightly ignored the burns inflicted on my back and waist by the Fire Elemental; so long as my bones and tendons werent injured, it would have no effect on battle.
St-
Thats one for starters.
The Elf whose pretty little head was split apart like a watermelon crumpled down.
She hadnt even shown anything worthy of being called Swordsmanship. Since she had chosen to use a dagger, whether its purpose was for self-defense or just carrying around, she shouldnt have retreated and instead made a deep lunge towards the chest of this Big Brother right here. Daggers had shorter range than longswords after all. But that charming little Elf had attempted to create distance instead of closing ita clearck of experience.
This meant that she had never fought against a human before. Or that she had only ever shot arrows gracefully from afar.
ng.
I threw away the bastard sword on the spot as its de was damaged from splitting the skull of an Elf which had the hardness of a Level 189. It wasnt damaged to the point of being entirely useless, but I had just found a better weapon then.
Tak!
Out of the air, I caught the dagger which had left the hand of the Elf who was now a bloody heap. The dagger was a stiletto which had a distinctive fine de and extremely sharp pointit was the weapon of an assassin specialized for stabbing.
Although I was one to prefer heavy two-handed armaments that were like siege weapons, this stiletto was a bit of an exception. There wasnt a single chip on its de despite having shed with the bastard sword. Perhaps it was a superior item which was made with quite the effort?
Bastard! You killed her!
Immediately afterwards, an Elf male attacked me from behind while bellowing.
Theres an even bigger fool over here?
While I had long noticed it from the chilling flow of air touching my skin, shouldnt you not scream if youre going to sneak attack? It was such a tant move that for a moment I could have suspected it to be a diversion or mind game.
The weapon of my attacker was a rapier which had a long and thin de, a longsword which suited a feeble-looking Elf male. It waspletely opposite to my preferences, but I wanted it as well.
The opponent was right-handed, so I gripped my stiletto in my left hand.
The Elf drew near aiming for my back with his rapier. I spun my body like a top while holding the stiletto in a reverse-grip and then brought it to meet the rapier at a nt.
Tik, tidik!
Blue sparks arose, caused by the friction of metal against metal. In that state, I slid the stiletto up from the end of the rapiers de to its hilt like riding a train rail.
And finally
Hi there?
Huk?!
I had drawn close enough for a certain two sweaty men to share a hot embrace. The dagger had fallen into my hand at an extremely advantageous timing. The eyes of the Elf male who knew this fixed itself on the stilettohe was wary of the daggers next course of movement.
He was truly an easy to understand friend. And because of this, while just barely holding in theughter which threatened to burst from me, I tightly curled up my right hand which had been lonely from having nothing to hold into a tight fist.
And then I returned his kindness with a hard punch.
Smack-
Guegh?!
My right fistnded a direct hit on the tip of the pretty boy Elfs slender chin. His jaw was sent spinning and his head slumped backwards. This friend had apparently been hastily attempting something using his left hand as well, but I was too busy to pay attention to that as well.
With a quick movement, I grabbed the Elf male who was out of it by the throat and then moved him to and fro like a shield, using him to block the arrows and Elementals attacks flying at me.
Puk, puk, smack, boom, puk
This friend was sturdier than most shields due to his high Level and he had the distinctive slender physique of an Elf so he was even light. Moreover, he had yet further value as he was still alive.
The arrow shots decreased in frequency.
Elf buddy, lets switch weapons.
Kagh-?!
I deeply stabbed the stiletto into the Elf males belly. He wouldnt die easily as I had avoided any major arteries.
In my left hand I held the rapier I had exchanged with him as a sign of friendship and in my right I wielded the friend I just made like a shield and charged in.
The other Elves who were surprised by our camaraderie didnt know what to do. They were hesitant to attack their own kin who was still alive, and so I decided help them make a decision a little.
I shed out with the rapier in my left.
Kyagh-?!
This makes two.
The cute head of a young Elf girl holding a staff flew up into the air and as a result, a dozen or so Elementals vanished from this battlefield like they were illusions. That was payback for my well-done waist from the fire before.
Splrrsh-!
Blood shot up from the severed part of the girls neck like a fountain. And right next to her corpse, another pretty little Elf, drenched in the blood of the cute one whose head had gone missing, was babbling her friends name as she wailed in grief.
I thrusted my rapier into her open mouth.
Kyagh-?!
What a great singer. Three.
I had ripped through her hindbrain which was the part of a brain responsible for controlling respiration, heartbeat, digestive functions and so on, so she would have no hopes of surviving that.
And this friend of mine in my right hand was about to reach his limit too.
Its time for me to forget this short friendship of ours. Four.
Crack.
I snapped the neck of the Elf male I had used well as a shield since his EXP would disappear if he died naturally from excessive blood loss.
After I retrieved the stiletto which was exchanged as a sign of friendship, his corpse was set afire by a ball of fire shot by a Fire Elemental.
Ordinary corpses were Level 0. Apart from the bodies of races which were sturdy from birth, corpses were no more than lumps of flesh that couldnt be used as shields. In particr, Elves were as fragile as dog bones.
Kill that human-!
Unforgivable!
The enraged Elves aimed their bows and staves at me all together, but I wanted to advise them that their actions were very much rash.
I wasnt the only one here. The ck market guards were facing the battle with clear heads despite the death of theirrades. They were pushing back the intruders so hard that even the furious Elf princess couldnt pay me attention.
In contrast, the Elves were easily swayed by their emotions. This was because the Elves who possessed long lifespans spent hundreds of years together with the people around them; their neighbors,rades, friends and the like. They would live as amunity for a long time and naturally grow to be like family.
This was a strength and at the same time a weakness. And at present, this weakness was standing out clearly.
Blockade the exit!
Provide cover for Sir Wolf-Mask!
Hurry with assisting the nk!
The ck market guards began to press the attackthe Elves had revealed too many openings as a result of losing their calm at the grotesque death of theirrades who were like family.
The Elves began to copse one after another like dominoes.
Ahh! Damn!
I felt like I was about to cry of regret each time I witnessed the miserable end of an Elf who fell down like dry straw.
My precious EXPs!
My EXPs were lessening at every passing moment, and the Elf princess state of mind worsened the more it went on. She went on a wild rampage alongside the Elementals like a crazy bitch souped up on chemicals.
But even so she was strong.
Today would have been the day I died had I not raised my Level further. This wasnt the time to be fighting with caution.
I should battle with the resolve to lose a finger or two at least.
My growth was only starting now.
*
*
*
Every word has power, was it said? I really did get a finger sliced off. For that I received a nice bit of EXP aspensation.
Dirty bastard, shooting off Sword Ki after feigning weakness.
I picked up my right forefinger, which had been cut off in my attempted bare-handed de block, from the dirt. My conceit had almost cost me my neck instead of a finger. I used the clean battle vest of one of my attackers, who had be a cold dead body about 10 seconds before, to meticulously wipe off the dirt on the severed part of my finger.
Tok.
And then I very carefully stuck it back where it was originally connected.
It felt slightly crooked, but I was probably imagining it.
Haagh, hah, hurgh Are you a demon?
The future Elf Queen, who had survived by herself just like in the 1st ythrough, asked me this as she took ragged breaths.
The look in her face had gone from fury to fright. It seemed she was truly mistaking me for a demon.
Thats a sad thing to say when weve both done a share of the ughtering.
History had changed because of my interference.
The ck market side which had failed to take a hostage didnt manage to get the rampaging Elf princess to surrender and in the end, suffered losses close to a wipe out.
You could tell how many humans in the Level 150s had died just by looking at the princess changed Level.

My Level had increased by 199 in this ck market alone.
As for skills? They were a trifling change so it was nothing to pay attention to.
I had clearly witnessed the effect of the fivefold-EXP Hero perk this time round. My Level had shot up and I had grown stronger with every Elf with the average Level of 200 that I killed. I had to give thanks to the encouragement and support of my Elf friends who had be EXP for my dream.
Wouldnt I be able to have the Demon King at my mercy within 6 months if I raised my Level at this pace every day?!
Now there was only one EXP remaining. An oldrade whom I couldnt let escape ever.
Silvias was exhausted, had suffered fractures and was bleeding. And these conditions were all at a serious degree which meant the ck market elites had absolutely whittled down her life.
It was now hard for her to even take one step forward. However, she still had her strongest method of attack at her disposal.
Demon! Youll die here together with me! Elementals of Earth!
The Elf princess cried out in a fierce voice.
It seemed she had no intention of abandoning the corpses of herrades and friends, who had followed her to their deaths, and running away.
The corpses of Elves were traded for a considerable price. Like how virgins symbolized purity, the blood and bone of Elves were often used as magic catalysts that held the meaning of eternityin the form of meat that was cut up like you would have at a butchers.
It was impossible that Silvia who loathed humans didnt know about this. And that was why
You intend on turning this ce into all of our graves? What a riot. Youre the one who invited yourrades and friends to this hell of an ants nest. Isnt that right?
This princess nned on causing this ck market to cave in using the Earth Elementals, taking herself down along with it.
Demon! Its your fault! Things wouldnt havee to this if not for you! We would have won! There would have been no problem if we won!
Dont involve yourrades without even being prepared to suffer defeat. Thats called causing trouble. And youve been insisting Im a demon from a while ago, but
I slowly drew nearer towards her, and I took off the wolf mask which was stained with the crimson blood of Elves.
Rumble silence-
The Earth Elementals who were about the copse the ck market stopped their destruction. They didnt move an inch even when the Elf princess desperately begged them to. Was it because they didnt want her, their friend, to die?
That wasnt it.
Why are you protecting this demon-?!
Silvia fell into confusion at this unknown situation.
Betrayed by the Elementals whom she had unconditionally trusted until now. I smoothly stabbed my stiletto into the Elf princess heart who was at a loss because of this betrayal. And after that, I told her the reason behind it.
Elementals, you see, consider the great Hero far more important than your fake friendship, using them like murder tools while calling them friends.
Elementals loved nature. And to protect nature? They couldnt do without the Hero-nim ying Demon King Pedonar. It would be a huge problem for them if the Hero ended up buried alive before that happened.
Hero?
Silvia asked this with wide open eyes as if hoping I would tell her I was joking.
Lets not meet for the 3rd time, Silvia.
Thud.
The future Elf Queen had be a stepping stone for the great Hero.
You should be honored!

?Perplexed: so you massacred the Elves? It is said that the union of anger and revenge gives birth to the daughter called cruelty. That daughter is troublesome and difficult to handle. Good is as heavy as lead, whereas evil is as light as a feather. It seems it will be difficult for you to graduate even if you defeat the Demon King at this rate.
The indignation of it all! My dear respected Professor Morals!
Those violent Elves were the first to attack me!
?Verdict: Forbearance brings peace while impatience spawns regrets. Would it not have been resolved in a good way had you tolerated it? Patience and time is capable of much more than power or anger. Student Kang Han Soo. Do not rush but instead look around you calmly. What do you see?
EXP?
I think Im capable of killing Sword King Alex now.

Chapter 10: Everybody All Together, Cheers!
?Dismay: Do not view weakrades as EXP! A dwarf sitting atop a giants shoulder sees farther than the giant, and a pope and farmer together can know more than they could alone. Try building harmony with a smiling face even if others may not be to your liking. This is homework.
And so Professor Morals left me with a difficult homework and left. He said he woulde back after two days this time, I think?
I should think on it a little during that time
About what? Lanuvel, who had picked up those words meant for myself, asked me with a tilted head.
And what about you, Lanuvel. What are you doing here?
Me? Assisting Hero-nim!
I remember leaving you to clean up the aftermath at the ck market though. Just the matter of sending the Elves corpses back to their home shouldnt be so simple?
The corpses of Elves had many uses as magic materials. If they were simply left at the ck market, somebody would cut them up into parts and sell them off to magicians at a high price like meat from the butchers.
This was the one thing that had to be preventedI couldnt let others reap the fruits since I was the one who did the work!
I had to rack my head quite a bit in order to solve this problem.
The bereaved families of the ck market guards who had fought together couldnt be neglected, and moving so many Elf corpses from somewhere 5 floors underground to the royal pce would also take work; thus, I proceeded in the direction of fully utilizing the gold in my money bag and purchasing the Elves corpses at a low price, paying the handling fee to an associate of the ck market to safely deliver them to the pce.
How did the negotiation go with the Elf King?
I told the whole story using a magic orb so it went well. A group of envoys from the Elf country are expected to visit the kingdom before long, bringing with them the payment which Hero-nim strongly insisted on.
I see. Thats the most important thing.
I had spent every penny I had in order to take over the Elf corpses from the ck market. It would be a real headache if somebody didnt fill up my money bag again. The people of viges and cities wouldnt provide free shelter and clothes just because I was the hero who was going to save the worldit would be fortunately enough if they didnt try to overcharge me as they would to tired and weary travelers.
If you didnt have money for traveling, you would easily end up starving to death unless you took up mercenary work andbored like those heroes in novels orics.
3 days had passed in this fantasy world.
Everyone had the wrong idea about my Level, thinking I was Level 4. And that was why even the Elf King couldnt even imagine that his own daughter had picked a fight with the Hero and ended up killed in return, and there was no one who remembered my deeds in the previous incident as the ck market guards were wiped out. Even Lanuvel thought the matter had ended in mutual destruction.
Hey, Hero. Its been going around that youve switched profession to an undertaker.
These kinds of rumors were truly trifling issues.
Alex, who had been training the pce knights at the training grounds exclusive to the pce, hade over after spotting me to taunt me.
My hazing would take ce in these grounds two dayster. Alex was apparently impatiently waiting for that day.
You and me both!

Sword King Alex was born to be the vanguard, or in English, a Tanker.
People held the misconception that a swordsman can only be amazing if he possesses swordsmanship that can figuratively cleave apart the world, but in reality the kind of swordsman that was wanted on a battlefield was one that could y their enemies for a prolonged time while protecting their allies.
The reason why Alex wouldter be called the Sword King was because he was not only capable of protecting his allies like an iron wall, but he could also carry out solo missions. He possessed a swordsmanship and endurance that even if he were dropped in the middle of enemy territory, he could leisurely return without being encircled.
The stronger version of a Sword King was a Hero.
Correct. Ive switched job to an undertaker. To ready your coffin, Alex.
You could even defeat the Demon King with that tongue of yours.
Who knows.
Looking back on my 1st ythrough, Demon King Pedonar had a better way with his words, vexing though it may be. I waspleted defeated in the battle of silver tongues.
But this time for sure I was going to win!
Hero. I could skip those two days and start guiding you even today. You shouldnt be going sniffing around in markets if you want to receive my forgiveness even a day sooner, no?
Im not in a hurry, so scram.
My Level would be brought to light when training began.
The one thing I wanted to avoid happening was the Elf King suspecting me, so it wouldnt do not to act like someone Level 4 on the outside.
I nned on creating an excuse for my Level before long. I just had to hide it until I made it seem as if I had entered the ancient ruins of some deep forest and raised my Level.
Havent I grown quite a bit?
I had put Professor Morals teachings to practice and was earnestly enduring. If it was the me of the past, I would have already cut Alexs throat in a fit of anger, but now I had grown to the point where I could let his taunts pass like water.
Could it be that Im a genius?
Hero-nim. So whats your n for today? Lanuvel asked warily.
Had yesterdays events at the ck market been such a shock to her? I found this hard to understand. It wasnt as if I had piled up a mountain of corpses, after all.
I should strike up a friendship with our newpanion.
Ahh that mercenary.
I had been forgotten about it from yesterday due to the Elf matter, but the mercenary ve who was supposed to be turned into my EXP was saved and brought to the pce.
Has his health recovered somewhat?
Seeing as how Professor Morals did warn of not viewing weakrades as EXP, I nned on using the ve as a luggage-carrier or the like.
In the 1st ythrough I had even adventured to the remote parts of Fantasia in search of legacies of ancient civilizations, legendary relics and such, but this time around I had no intention of wasting time wandering about.
I was going to choose my destinations only as necessary to my needs.
Yes! Hes been hugely motivated ever since hearing that hed be the Herospanion instead of a ve! I hear hes eating so much to the point of frightening the pce chef and quickly recovering his stamina!
Thats a relief.
It was a recovery speed that matched that of a Level 286. The effects that came with Levels survival-style in Fantasia were incredible. In exchange for being unable to concentrate and increase a desired status ability like in a role-ying game, you would gain an overall enhancement: lifespan, resistance, agility, strength, regenerative ability, five senses, magic power There was no end to the list.
Hah! Really pisses me off the more I think about it. The Level I raised over 10 years resetted in just one trip back in time.
This return to the past had convinced me of somethinga fantasy world was just fantasy in the end. I had confirmed the truth that all of the teaching staff and the mastermind behind them could reset my Level and Skills whenever they pleased if they so wished.
Magic, sorcery, martial arts, Elementalism, Engraving, Blessing Fantasy skills that I could obtain with a little effort as someone with the fivefold-EXP perk. All of those werent my things. They were nothing but a figment of imagination that would disappear upon the intervention of some transcendental entity. Science was the one and only truth and power.
From now on I nned on drastically moderating my gathering of equipment as well as reducing my reliance on them since they would serve no meaning if they were confiscated upon my return to Earth, and this included the holy sword unique to the Hero. There was no way all the Heroes returning to Earth after defeating the Demon King would be given a portable nuclear weapon, unless it was with the intent of destroying Earth.
Hm! Theres not as many ces worth going to as I thought
Nothing much would remain of the fantasy world when excluding the fantasy part. Earth was overwhelmingly advanced in all aspects of science and technology. The one branch of science worth mentioning in this world was called Magic Engineering, while the rest were mainly a dubious fusion of science and magic. It wasnt the kind of power I sought.
Hero-nim. Where are you going today? Lanuvel asked in a cutely serious tone.
Too tired to even tell her not to act cute, I instead calcted the distance to our destination in my mind.
Its not a distance that can be traversed back and forth in a single day. It would still take two days even if we used the kingdoms spatial transfer magic circle. We have to hurry the preparations for the journey starting today. Well set off as soon as we receive the payment from the Elf envoys.
I didnt have even the slightest thought of walking on my two feet. I intended on traveling swiftly andfortable even if it costed a bit.
Wyverns, carriages, spatial transfer magic,rge sailing ships, magic trains There were quite many methods of getting around if you looked for it. And the biggest advantage of all these? The chances of being held back by running into a viger who brought danger on themselves by leaving the safety of their vige or perhaps encountering some suspicious individuals be drastically lowered.
Time and safety could be bought with moneythis was my firm belief.
Well probably require His Majesty the Kings royal sanction if its far away.
Hell approve. What that Dumpling King wants is something I know very well. Hell obediently give permission so long as I promise toe back for sure after finishing my business, though its uncertain whether Alex will tag along as a monitor.
Is it a ruins?
No. Well be going to meet a mighty being.
A great, grand and mighty being. If my spiritual mentor was the pub bartender Tony, the one I was going to meet was the mentor who granted me my physical power.
An Elder Dragon?
Its an insult topare that person to those flying lizards that cant even amount to their own ages. Thats all you need to know.
Huuh~
Lanuvel gazed at me with an interested look.
What?
I just found it curious that Hero-nim has someone you respect. You look down on others as if you know everything, after all.
I look down on them because they deserve it.
The very idea of respecting these savages of Fantasia was a stretch in of itself. Imperials, royals, nobles and great merchants were no exception either. Would you be able to view as equals those who didnt even invent flush toilets using their fancy magic and instead lived in a filthy manner?
It wasnt as if they werent capable of it. These people didnt do so because they felt it unnecessarya difference that was not in civilization but in cultural awareness.
Afterwards, we talked about the items to be prepared for the journey, but there had been no need for me to take the lead on this topic because Archaeologist Lanuvel, who would go around searching for famous ruins and ancient temples, was extremely familiar with traveling. She lived up to being the Heros Companion No.1 who received the oracle.
Though it would be even better if she didnt habitually act cute.
Hero-nim, His Majesty is looking for you. I am to tell you that the group of envoys from the country of Elves, Elfheim, has just arrived.
It was then that a pce knight approached us with swift footsteps to deliver a message.
Not even a day had yet to pass, yet the people of the Elf country had arrived. Perhaps it was only natural as their dearly precious princess had passed away.
As for me, I was happy with not having had to wait.
Let the Dumplingahem! Let His Brilliant Majesty know that he may deal with them as he will. I just need to receive the money.
The envoy group requests to meet you, Hero-nim.
Ask His Majesty to refuse them.
This should make that Dumpling King beam with a smile.
It seems that will be a bit difficult, as it turns out the first prince of Elfheim has apanied the envoy group
Balls.
A disgustingly powerful middle-boss was calling for me.
There was no way I couldnt go.
*
*

Arch-Elves.
These Elf royalty theoretically lived forever.
Anti-aging was a basic feature that came along with all Elves and because they becamepletely immune to illnesses if their Level rose even a little, it was a truly rare urrence for them to die outside of being murdered. Whats more, there werent even that many powerful individuals who could kill these Elf royalty.
This was due to the characteristic of Levels. A Level that was raised once wouldnt go down even with the passing of time. While there were the asional cases of Levels being stolen or lost under the effect of certain special powers, they would never deteriorate spontaneously. And then there was the fact that Elf royalty lived forever.
Whats the rtion between those two things, you might ask?
It meant that Elf royalty would eternally grow stronger as their EXP piled up likeyers of sediment. Of course, Skills could fall in rank or be forgotten and lost in the passing of years, but these would also rise steadily in proficiency like Levels as long as they were constantly polished.
And thus, this kind of monster would be born.
?Race: Arch-Elf
?Level: 999+
?Job: Swordsman(Swordsmanship=Cutting Force)
?Skills: Swordsmanship(SS) Sword Ki(S) Regeneration(A) Elementalism(A) Majesty(A)
?Status: Satisfied
Level 999 was the limit of what could discerned using the Hero perk. If the Level was any higher than that, it would be shown as above with a plus sign.
Level 1000 would be shown as 999+.
Level 5000 would also be shown as 999+.
Thus from that point on, you had no choice but to estimate an opponentsbat ability by relying on luck and instinct.
In the past, wary of this invisible Level, I had only trusted the widespread rumors around me and invested long years into training and adventuring. However, Demon King Pedonar had turned out to be far weaker than I had predicted.
Inparison to what I had experienced at that time, this handsome Elf was far higher up on the danger scale; the reason being that he wasnt an opponent I had properly prepared myself to fight against like with the Demon King. And that was why I called him a middle-boss.
His history went as follows:
The incumbent Elf King enacted a national istion policy. He cut off contact with the humans who upied the middle continent of Fantasia and remained within the Elf country, maintaining seclusion for hundreds of years. And harboring opposition towards this, the first prince caused a rebellion. He murdered his own father and inherited the throne.
If memory serves correctly, his name was
I am Nasus. It is an immeasurable honor to meet the widely rumored great Hero of legend. I also do not know how to express my thanks regarding your protecting my sister and fellow countrymen Ah! Leave aside the stiff title of prince and just call me Nasus. Hero-nim is qualified to do so.
He was an extremely likable individual.
It wasnt like all Elves were violent like Sylvia.
A pleasure to meet you, Nasus. I sincerely wish for a beautiful world where humans and Elves will live in harmony akin to our meeting.
That is my wish also.
Cheers!
Hahaha!
Aint nothing wrong with bing friendly with the middle-boss, right?
Today as well, I put Professor Morals teachings to good practice.

Chapter 11: Mercenary work? Why even bother?
Our homnd, Elfheim, is slowly heading towards ruin. Regretfully, the current Elf King is closing his eyes and ears and still underestimates the humans. Eternal life is a blessing and at the same time a curse. The moment you let down your guard, you wont be able to even realize your own time has frozen, after all.
I see you have a lot on your te.
Dear me! I have disgraced myself before Hero-nim. It seems I have drunk too much in my excitement.
Its fine. Haha!
I found this Elf prince increasingly to my liking.
Level, looks, ability, insight, philosophy, manners there wasnt a single fault in him to be found. He was such a gentleman that I could believe him to be possessed by a reincarnated modern man of Earth.
The current Elf King was definitely a narrow-minded one.
The reason why Prince Nasus had caused a rebellion was rted to the line of sessionthe Elf King had put aside the first prince to instead appoint his youngest daughter as heir to the throne.
Was Sylvia queen material?
Absolutely not.
She hadnt studied governance at all, which was the virtue of a ruler, and she was always going out of the country as she was inclined to having fun. Her Level was outssed by middle-rank demons at the time she was appointed as the heir, and her personality was that of a cruel narcissist who would burn alive humans who approached her saying, Hey pretty, have some fun with us.
And look what end that had lead her to.
I told Sylvia so many times not to underestimate humans, but she would always snort at my words. Although I expected a day like this toe one day, it is saddening that it hase true.
Mr. Nasus. Your status shows youre satisfied though?
The current Elf King had regarded his youngest daughter Sylvia as the apple of his eyes as she was simr to himself, harboring a borderline psychotic loathing towards humans; it was to the point she had stolen the right of session from the excellent eldest son. The king had brought trouble upon himself.
You must be deeply heartbroken.
I merely fear that childs death will be the future of Elfheim. I ask for Hero-nim to provide us with much help. We will also not spare any support in order for Hero-nim to y Demon King Pedonar. This is my cherished sword, Endymion. It is one of the three great hidden treasures of our country, so please return it to us after you obtain the Holy Sword.
Nasus passed over the precious sword which hung by his hip, a weighty bastard sword which didnt suit frail-bodied Elves. I appealed to me more than the Holy Sword which was unnecessarily light.
I wont forget your sincerity.
I really wont!
One of the three great hidden treasures of Elfheim, Elemental Sword Endymion. It was a masterpiece which I didnt manage to get even after helping Princess Sylvia defeat Prince Nasus and putting her on the throne in the 1st ythroughyet to think Id obtain it this easily!
The caliber of a true king was indeed different.
But that was why I felt a little sorry, because I had no intention of returning Endymion. I didnt mean to break the trust and friendship between us, however. While Prince Nasus had asked me to return Endymion upon obtaining the Holy Sword, I had no ns of doing so until I gave the Demon King a thrashing.
This sword here was enough to dice up that Demon King.
Its a relief that Hero-nim likes it.
Very much so.
Shiing-
I carefully unsheathed Elemental Sword Endymion from its high-quality scabbard made from the leather of an Azure Dragon. The refined aura of an elemental washed over me like the fragrance of flowers. Although I more preferred Demon Swords because of their exciting buck-wild nature, I didnt dislike this kind of pure type; I could slowly shape its nature to my liking.
I had a strong feeling that we would be a good team together. Right?
tter
Elemental Sword Endymion shook as if in agreement. How adorable.
In any case, it seems Hero-nim has amazing strength. I thought you would have trouble lifting Endymion as a Level 4.
Ive always been a bit strong, you see.
I would expect no less of the Hero-nim, haha!
Hahaha!
I realized it in that momentPrince Nasus had roughly gauged my Level. He might have even guessed that the human who killed his little sister, Princess Sylvia, was the Hero. Had he handed over his countrys treasure in order to test this spection? He would be a truly frightening individual if that was the case. And how had he known I was weak to worldly desires?
The envoy group set out on their return journey home right after our chat ended. Although there were some faint-hearted Elves who went beside themselves at the sight of the Elf princess pretty head halved down the middle, the retrieval of her remains went without a hitch under Prince Nasus excellent leadership.
It was a greatly satisfying trade. I had started over with nothing yet struck it rich within three days:
Abundant travel funds.
Level 204.
Elemental Sword Endymion.
And a luggage-carrier plus archaeologist as a bonus.
The brilliant Hero and extrapany swiftly finished preparations for their journey by wringing the king dry and set out on an exciting adventure!
To the vige where the great being resided in.
*
*
*
The journey was smooth-sailing.
Although we were briefly dyed right before we set off due to Alex opposing us going, saying it was dangerous, we came to an agreement to hold that joyful orientation which he so eagerly anticipated ten dayster.
The distance to our destination was so great as to take a year to cover on foot, but the mind-blowing transportation method called the spatial transfer magic circle drastically shorten that timethat one year was cut to a single second. This technology was so convenient to the point of making me want to introduce it to Earth no matter what.
Just like how there were many terminals at an airport, spatial transfer magic circles were ced in public facilities called tower of a magician and could be used for a fee. Abbreviated, they were called Magus Towers.
But why were they ced in towers?
My 1st ythroughpanion, Sage, had answered as follows.
Being a magician was an upation which required a lot of research funds and rare materials, since no matter how much of a genius you were, there was a limit to how far you could go with theory alone. You couldnt move on to the next stage if it wasnt proven through experiments.
Therefore, a magician needed to receive many sponsorships, and had no choice but to either live in and that had plenty of material supplies or belong under a country receiving a high wage. But this was where the problem began.
Magicians and cities were like oil and water. That reason being
1) Its dangerous when magic explodes.
2) Cant concentrate because its noisy outside.
3) The industrial smoke covers the stars.
4) Have to watch out for thieves.
5) The purity and density of magic power decreases.
There were more aside from the things mentioned above, but these were the five major points. But because research itself was impossible without full backing, the magicians of old racked their brains in order for them to live in citiesand the solution to that was a high tower. It could perhaps be said to have the advantage of a high-rise apartment building. All of the problems were solved in one go.
Even inrge cities, the buildings in Fantasia didnt go higher than three-storeys. If a ten-storey tower was built smack dab in the middle of a city, its peak would be an exclusive private space of a magician, isted from the outside, and behold: thepletion of a shut-in.
And because they lose any chance to meet women, they inevitably be virgin Archmages
Thank you for visiting our Magus Tower~??
Though thats not always the case it seems.
An amiable-looking beauty weed us in, her ck cone hat and short skirt reminding me of a witch. That attire of hers was no more than eye-candy intended for business, however; she was a receptionist who handled customers for the spatial transfer magic circle. The magician who would activate the magic circle was at the back with his hands sped behind him, looking over here with a satisfied look. Looking at the receptionists thighs that is, not us.
I felt like I knew why Sage was the only person to have attained the level of Archmage.
Please present an item that will prove your identity~
Things like passports were needed even in Fantasia, because ouws or enemy spies couldnt be allowed to escape out of the country.
Here. His Majestys seal and permit.
We skipped arge part of the checking process thanks to the Dumpling Kings handwritten letter. We didnt even need a waiting number.
This is what you call the power of money and influence.
Magician-nim? Magician-nim!
Mm? Ahem! R-right. Where do I need to send them again?
Ugh! Concentrate a little will you? Being like this again.
Im sorry. I was immersed analyzing the abyss of mysteries, you see Its stuff about magic. Ahem-hem! Ill buy you a cake after work as a token of apology.
Wow! Thats a promise then, Magician-nim!
You bet!
This magician gave off the smell of crime, but it was no problem to me so long as he properly activated the spatial transfer magic.
The magician began to incant the activation spell.
The magic circle shined brilliantly and
sh!
We had saved and shortened a years time and distance, freed from the inevitable troublesome encounters that would have popped up on a journey.
It was truly satisfying.
Um, Hero-nim.
What?
Our journey doesnt feel like a journey.
Lanuvelined beside me, pouting.
I would have absolutely left behind this annoying chit if not for the fact she was skilled in cooking and daily life magic. Although I had felt euphoric on the first day when Lanuvel was eliminated by being buried alive in the 1st ythrough, the inconvenience from the next day on wasnt easy to tolerate. There was a clear difference between games and life.
The things that most wore out the Hero wasnt the likes of a powerful demonit was unhygienic toilets and sleep-disturbing insects. To give a statistic without exaggeration, mosquitoes had drawn more blood from me than thete night assassins sent by Demon King Pedonar.
And this was where Lanuvel shined. Her daily life magic solved all these various diforts. It wasnt perfect, but it was to the level where a modern man could endure.
Her ability alone was to my liking.
Lanuvel. Are you dissatisfied withing overfortably using my money? Why? Why dont youin about breathing cause thats easy too?
Aww
Lanuvel, who was pouting like a goldfish, was instantly silenced. But then our otherpanion, therge luggage-carrier who was holding a spear in his right hand, spoke up in her defense.
I think Miss Lanuvel also has a point. We get no chance to raise our Level and Skills if we travel instantly like this.
I didnt ask you. Shut it.
I surveyed my surroundings after silencing the luggage-carrier who was under the wrong impression of having really be the legendary Herospanion. The scene here was simr to what I saw first upon being kidnapped to this fantasy world.
A huge magic circle was beneath our feet and outside of it were guards on standby in case of emergencies, nodding off where they stood. Besides that, I could see gs of the kingdom and its aristocratic families which told me we had safely arrived at the Magus Tower of an allied country.
Spatial transfer magic itself was convenient because no time was taken to travel, but there was no method of directing reaching your exact destinationyou had to go from Magus Tower A to Magus Tower B. You would only be transferred between magic circles that were linked in advance.
Like how you would take the airport bus, subway or the like upon arriving at an airport, from now on we had to use a different method of transport.
Lanuvel, Porter. Follow me.
We quickly went through customs and existed the Magus Tower.
A bustling city streety before us, a scene which existed in my memories.
Hero-nim. Ive been here before so I know the way around well! The mercenary agency is that way!
Lanuvel pretended to be knowledgeable. As an archaeologist, she was a wayfinder who had gone to all kinds of ces. She was familiar with all the cities andndmarks in the middle continent of Fantasia.
But in response to her indication, I said flippantly, Why would we go there?
Eh? Well, thats because there might be a merchant caravan heading near our destination. We can help out in business, well also get a free ride on carriages, we can defeat bandits, raise our reputation, make money, get to know people, raise our Level, take night watch together
Lanuvel rattled off a list of the pros to being a mercenary.
We have no time to spare on such a worthless part-time job.
Part-time?
Theres something like that.
I turned down her suggestion.
Moving together with a merchant caravan loaded full of goods would slow us down. There was no reason to help out somebodys business just to earn a pittance. That, and I didnt want to hang around filthy mercenaries either.
Why? Were not in a hurry.
Who knows when the resurrected Demon King will attack us? Can you still say that were not in a hurry?
I wasnt at all pressed for time. That gentleman of a Demon King would wait a whole 10 years for me, though Lanuvel didnt know this truth.
Th-that
Understand? Even if you dont, shut up and follow me.
Aww okay.
*
*
*
We safely arrived at our destination.
We didnt hear anything like a desperate cry for help from a merchant caravan that had fallen into danger on the way. It was just my imagination.
The vige before us looked just as I remembered it in the 1st ythrough. This journey had taken two days, perhaps? And Professor Morals, who had given me advance warning, hade as well.
?Sigh: How could a Hero avoid adventuring? A rolling stone gathers no moss. Please do not abuse your Heros EXP 500% perk and raise your Level through normal adventuring.
Starting with a lecture right off the bat, and saying to my face to roll like a stone to boot.
?Perplexed: I did not mean that as a curse so you would unconditionally suffer! They say the heaviest burden to a traveler is an empty pocket. Having set out on a journey, should you not achieve something?
Thats reasonable.
If its achievements, then theres going to be some starting now.
After entrusting our exhausted steeds at the vige inn, we headed towards the vige chiefs house where the great being resided at.
Upon arriving there, I knocked on the door as I called out courteously, Master Mong. This unworthy Hero requests for your teachings!

Chapter 12 - Master Mollang
Chapter 12: Master Mong
Creak-
The door was cautiously opened a crack along with the sound of its rusted hinge, and a freckled girl poked her head out to ask me a question.
Who are you to be looking for our Mong?
It was the daughter of this viges chief. Although I had gotten along rather well with her in the 1st ythrough, a trip back in time didnt suit a normal person like me; after all, even the good memories made with good people would all be illusions.
The vige chiefs daughter was far younger than I remembered her. She was now a sweet little girl, not a respectabledy. This was only natural since I had met her 9 yearster from now in the 1st ythrough. She was a married woman at the time and was always hugging her infant son. And
Wobble-wobble~
The perpetually wobbling great being was also with her, hugged tight to the girls chest like a pillow, instead of the infant son who wouldter be born. Lanuvel, who had peered over my shoulder on tiptoes to take a look, murmured dazedly, The great being is a slime?
Slime. A jelly monster which appeared in countless fantasy games. These slimes which looked like round steamed buns were lumps of EXP mostmonly encountered even in this fantasy world. They lived wherever, ate whatever, and their reproductive ability was excellent as well. The reason why the sewerage systems in Fantasias cities, which were of pitiful standardpared to those of Earth, didnt get clogged and could be maintained for prolonged periods of times was also thanks to slimes cleaning them up.
I said to Lanuvel in a serious tone, Dont look down on it for being a slime. This personage is no ordinary slime.
Yes, thats right! Mong can wobble!
It was just as the girl had said.
Ordinary slimes jiggledthey couldnt wobble like this great being.
Eh?
Lanuvel, your eyes are rott No, nevermind. It should be faster to show you rather than exin. Little Miss, can this big brother here hug your cute and lovely friend for a moment? I only need just a brief moment.
I was dressed splendidly like a noble as usual. The sharp-witted girl shot a furtive nce towards the vige chief and his wife, who were watching us with bated breath from the back, before giving a reply.
You wont harm our Mong, right?
I promise.
I carefully received the great being.
Wobble-wobble!
The great being violently wobbled as if being wary of me, a stranger, but it soon calmed down as the girlforted it with caressing touches.
Wobble-wobble
Hugging the great being, I closed my eyes standing as if to meditate. I serenely felt that wobbling sensation.
Yeah! This is the feel!
The slime was the most perfect living organism that I knew of. It could freely undte its jelly-like body, eat anything without discrimination and digest it quickly. The most surprising thing about it, however, was that it had no brain, and yet it was capable of expressing itself in a wide range of manners, jiggling all the while. This meant it was a spiritual kind of existence that wasnt confined by its body.
But on the other hand, what of humans?
Their movements were restricted apart from certain moveable joints. It was impossible for them to y dead like a lizard or sever a part of their body to run away. Their body when aged didnt recover. There were many kinds of animals they couldnt eat, they couldnt even dare to think of consuming rotten or contaminated food, and their body would malfunction if they didnt drink water for even a single day.
Humans were extremely imperfect creatures.
Wobble-Wobble~
Therefore, we needed to study. Thats how humanity had survived until now and that would remain unchanged from now on as well. Now, a one-dimensional-minded foolish human would struggle to attain powerful fantasy rted things: martial arts, magic, elementals, psychic abilities, Demon Sword, Holy Sword, divine power, power of a god, game status abilities, heart of a dragon, Elf wife
But I thought differently.
The power of humans originate from nowhere else than science. The advancements made by humanity on Earth confirmed that factbreaking the boundaries of Earth and stepping into the cosmos!
A majestic notion that cant even begin to be imagined from a fantasy world view. There are no Murim experts who battle on Mars, are there? In other words, science is a study that had different boundaries.
This big brother will show you something fun.
There are people who look down on fitness trainers, but the diet and training nned out by those trainers arent based on the ult, but on science. It is a refined study, a science of health. It fundamentally boasts high efficiency as well as improvement of beauty, and helps lessen the negative side and after-effects of over-exercising.
What I was about to do from now was the same.
Automatic system control.
All living things live because they cant die. To give a very simple exampleno matter how we desperately beg, I Want to die! at the end of a horrifying torture or despair, our hearts wouldnt stop beating. Its my body yet it wont act as I want. This is because of an automatic system. In fancy talk, its called:
The autonomic nervous system.
This nervous system works to maintain the homeostasis of basic bodily functions such as respiration, metabolism, body temperature, digestion, secretion and reproduction. Getting aroused at the sight of a pretty woman, salivating at the smell of something tasty, heart pumping when you exercise a lot these subconscious behaviors are all influenced by the autonomic nervous system.
What would happen if this system disappeared?
The instant it did, you would die as your heart and lung stopped as if somebody had ordered, Freeze! and that is why all living things couldnt control their autonomic nervous system as they pleasedexcept for the slime.
Huh?! Hero-nims muscles became bulging!
Goodness! Hero-nim, what kind of bnce is that?
Slimes knew how to control their entire body as naturally as breathing. It was such a natural thing that they werent capable of teaching others how to do the same. However, there are always exceptions.
Wobble-wobble?
This great being alone, who wobbled all day long, could tell the method simply as it wobbled adorably. It wasnt as if it wobbled intentionally, but thats how much its wobbling contained the fundamental rhythmic movements unique to slimes.
I didnt learn it seriously in the 1st ythrough. Because my mind and body had been exhausted to the extreme after spending 9 years adventuring in Fantasia, I had realizedte just how great an existence Master Mong was.
It was going to be different this time, however. I was ready to learn in this 2nd ythrough. I urately understood Master Mongs teachings and engraved them in my soul.
Thank you! Master Mong!
Wobble-wobble?
The great being wobbled left and right as if it didnt know at all the reason for my thanks. I could understand that, seeing as I had learned this technique of my own ord:
Customizing.
It was impossible to learn it through theory in books as you would with magic or martial arts. There was no other way than to personally feel these rhythmic movements yourself and realize ityou just had to wobble hard!
You might ask: How do you describe this?
The answer would be that its a profound study that cant be exined with words or writing.
Hero-nim! Hero-nim! How did you do it? asked Lanuvel with sparkling eyes.
I firmly pushed away Lanuvel, who was acting cute in a low-key manner and trying to cling onto my thickened forearm, and asked in return, Have you heard of growth hormones?
What?
Nevermind if you dont.
Endocrine nds are the organs which regte hormones such as the pineal nd, hypothmus, pituitary nd, thyroid, parathyroid nds, adrenal nd, kidneys, pancreas, ovaries, testicles and so on. The hormones secreted by these endocrine nds control bodily functions. The growth of people were also influenced by these hormones.
Growth hormones are secreted from the pituitary nd, and it promotes the production of Insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) which increases the growth cells of bones, cartge and the like. These two hormones were not only rted to the enhancement of muscles, ligaments and tendons, but even in breaking down fat which is the raw material for hormones. The secretion of hormones are normally stimted through anaerobic exercises. But what if this could be freely controlled?
Ripped and ready!
Youd easily be able to create an awesome body. One thats to your liking, that is.

A bit of time would be needed in order to raise the Skill ranks to their maximum, but it was literally only a matter of time. I only had to wait from now on.
?Baffled: This is the fruits of your journey? I cannot understand even after seeing it. A slime being a great mentor? This is the first news of its kind. The hard shell of an almond needs to be removed in order to obtain its seed. Who would put in the effort if you could gain skills without trying?
Professor Morals, why are you asking me that?
Whether other people rolled to the left or right wasnt of my concern. And shouldnt one speak the facts correctly? As someone whose 10 years of effort vanished into thin air due to an unwanted trip back in time, nobody had the right to talk about effort to my faceeven if that may be a god!
?Quiet: Yes, you are right on that. I sincerely apologize on behalf of all the teaching staff. Student Kang Han Soo is the first to achieve S-grade inbat ability, though your F-grade in character is also a first Even though you were disqualified, it is true that we trampled over your amazing efforts under the pretext of a re-examination.

Ah, okay
To think Professor Morals apologized!
?Laughter: To learn from your mentor, to learn more from yourpanions, and to yet further learn from your disciplethis is the principle of the world. And yet I had forgotten about this for a long time. How could I not, seeing as a re-examination due to F-grade in character is unprecedented throughout our schools history.

Professor Morals took his leave after throwing me an insult-likepliment. He said he woulde find me at an unexpected time.
Wobble-wobble!!
Ah, shoot! Sorry! Master Mong!
I hurriedly returned the great being, who was wobbling in an irritated manner, to the vige chiefs daughter, and then gave her a generous reward as thanks. Surprised at the sum of money, the vige chief intervened.
Sir! Theres no need to give so much!
Its fine. If it really bothers you that much, then take good care of Master Mongs meals. That will be enough.
I had justpleted my objective in spending two daysing to this remote countryside in the northwestern corner of Fantasias middle continentI had obtained the power of science.
This wasnt a Skill, but a Technique. A byproduct of knowledge and experience. Whatever I did whenever and wherever, I would be myself. The french philosopher, Descartes, had said this:
Cogito, ergo sum. I think, therefore I am.
This fantasy world was questionable, and in reality might even be just a crappy dream. But I couldnt deny my own existence as well, see how I was capable of thought like this. Even going back in time couldnt affect this.
Hero-nim! I want to hug Mong as well
Me too Ahem-hem!
Lanuvel and Porter mimicked me, unable to contain their curiosity. I waved my hand as I let them do as they liked. There was no reason to stop them at all, after all. Merely, I felt a little apologetic.
Wobble-wobble
The great beings suffering began.
Master Mong, please endure it a little even if those fellows are bothersome!
Come back before it gets dark.
I only told Lanuvel and Porter toe back to the inn after having touched Master Mong to their hearts content if they were still alive by then, that is. The reason for this is that a human who doesnt even have a notion of the autonomic nervous system will 100% die upon realizing Master Mongs teachings. That humans heart and lungs would cease working and they wouldnt even know why.
It could perhaps be described as falling into water without a n? The victim would flounder about before suffocating to death.
But anyhow.

The ranks of my Skills were evenly increasing in an explosive manner to a level beyond my constantly evolving body. The iplete version of Master Mongs teachings were amazing enough to give the Demon King a good pummeling, but theplete version was exhibiting an efficiency far beyond my expectations; an extremely wee thing for me. As for what was left to do now?
A ce to create an alibi for my 204 Level, but
I couldnt not take achievements into ount even while doing so, the reason being that in order to return to Earth, I needed high grades in all four subjects of my examination aside from taking down Demon King Pedonar .
Combat ability, achievements, reputation, character.
Putting asidebat ability, since if it was low you wouldnt even be able to y the Demon King, I had no need to pay attention to achievements in the 1st ythrough because I had spent 10 years going here and there, poking my nose into all kinds of matters; my achievements had piled up by themselves. But this 2nd ythrough was different. I was certain to get an F-grade on my achievements at this rate.
Thatll be troublesome.
I didnt want to see the Elf princess, whom I had so painstakingly killed, once again. Even I would feel chills to see Sylvia in healthy shape after having confirmed the kill, and it would be wearisome to repeat the same adventure for the 3rd time as well.
Fortunately, there was one young dragon secretly living near this area. Its Level and Skills were extremely low as it neglected to hunt due to its gentle nature. In the 1st ythrough, it was like a pie in the sky because all of mypanions had opposed to killing the whelp. Those dastardly so-calledpanions had held back the Hero from bing strong. In this 2nd ythrough, however, no one could interfere in my graduation.
Dragon yer!
Could there be another achievement as certain as this in a fantasy world?
But that wasnt all. A dragon itself made for good prey, but its heart was also a mass of EXP. Your Level could make a leap in an instant upon consuming it. This would be the best alibi for me who was known to have a low Level. Moreover, this was a regr hunting.
Perfect.
Even Professor Morals wouldnt have a problem with this, right?

Chapter 13 - By the power of friendship!
Chapter 13: By the power of friendship!
We stayed a night at the vige inn. I would have liked to set off right away, but even I needed to make all kinds of preparations to hunt a dragon, one of the most absurd creatures in a fantasy worldI was still a tender Hero on his 5th day, after all. I was a chick out of its egg, just as the dragon was young.
A natural deodorant was needed. This hunt would fail if I was noticed by the dragon first, because the current me would have no way of catching it if the lizard unfurled its wings and flew away; therefore, it was important to make a surprise attack. The only way of having a chance at victory would be to conceal noise and smell, then approach the dragon while it was enjoying a sweet dream and rip up its wings or its hide.
I was able to procure deodorant from a vige hunter.
The next thing was time. Presently, my body was literally a chaotic mess due to having activated my cells. I was in the middle of recovering my body to how it was in my prime. The enhancement effect of having reached Level 204 had elerated my muscle development, but attaining an S-rank in Skills wasnt easy even with the Hero perk. Still, it shouldnt take too long to achieve since I had done it once before.
The biggest problem was
Yaawn~!
Yawn
The fools who had been continuing to yawn from a while ago was extremely bothering me. Lanuvel and Porter who had deeply fallen for the wobbling great beings charm, had actuallye backte at night to immediately drop dead asleep on their beds. Regretfully, they werent able to learn a single thing; otherwise, they would have dropped into their graves instead of their beds. And the next day morning, they had begun to nod off drowsily.
Hey. You dont have to follow me.
I nned on beating the dragon to submission by myself as, after all, Professor Morals was sure to lecture me if these two happened to die an unnatural death by participating in the hunt. No, it would be fortunate if it ended at a lecture.
Putting aside Porter, Archaeologist Lanuvel was a celebrity. What would happen if rumors got out that she died within five days of entering the Heros party? My reputation would hit rock bottom. It would be putting the cart before the horse if my reputation fell while trying to raise achievements. It would be better to chase them off in advance so they couldnt loaf about nearby, if only to prevent that tragedy.
However, it wasnt going smoothly
Its because I think Hero-nim would abandon us and go off on your own!
I think the same as Miss Lanuvel.
The fools stubbornly stuck to me like glue. Though they would have had a little more persuasiveness had they wiped off the sleep in their eyes
I shrugged.
Dont regret it.
Nearby the vige was an extremely ordinary forest. Rabbits, deers, foxes, pines, azalea, webworms, mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes!
In the first ce, the vige couldnt have even been built if the forest hadnt been ordinary. However, a little further in the forest was a colony of Orcs.
Orcs. Tranted to Korean speak, they could perhaps be called pig-demons. However, they merely resembled pigs because of their t nosesthey were in no way gically rted to oinking swine. And forget being fat, they had the muscles of a bodybuilder. Being a purely foreign word, they were just Orc even in English, though it would indeed be augh to call them pig-demons. *TN: This paragraph may be confusing due to the Korean perspective.
GuGu!
KuKu!
The majority of monsters including Orcs used a primitivenguage and so Interpretation didnt work. In fact, they couldntmunicate even among themselves, so they mainly used bodynguage. The reason behind this is that their lifespans are extremely short and they are born without a home environment. They multiplied in droves like hunting dummies in a role-ying game.
The condition for their appearance is a clean region with concentrated mana, which is why they were rarely born in cities or viges. To sum up their existence simply, they were an infinite EXP supply.
Hero-nim! Its an Orc patrol team!
Well help out as well!
The muppets were about to go forth, one wielding fire magic, one wielding a spear, tantly trying to steal my EXP.
This is whypanions are unnecessary.
Stay out of it.
Shiing~
I unsheathed the Elemental Sword Endymion from its azure scabbard which was wrapped in pure-white cloth. The Orcs who saw the brilliant gleam of the de flinched and trembledtheir survival instincts had perceived the danger of this sword.
My current Level was 204. It would be difficult to hunt even the weakest of dragons, but that was something I knew from the start. This was why the Orc colony located on the path to the dragons hideout was important. I nned on raising my Level here a bit.
?Race: Orc
?Level: 51
?Job: Soldier(CrowdingCombative Spirit)
?Skills: Patrolling(E) Spearmanship(F) Stamina(F)
?Status: Agitated, Wary
Level 50, the standard of a page who dreamed of bing a full-fledged knight of some affiliation. The Skills of an Orc are so pathetic that a knight would win by andslide if they were to actually fight, but there is a chance theyd end up losing their life if careless; this is because of their racial characteristic.
The Orcs, who only had males among their race, had greater physical abilities than male humans in all aspects. Muscr strength, agility, sense of smell, endurance, resistance If a highschooler from Earth and an Orc were to go one-on-one, supposing that they were both Level 1, the highschooler could never win even with the protagonist buff.
TuTu!
BuBu!
Was it perhaps because of the Skill Taunt(E) I learnt back at the ck market while hunting Elves? The Orcs chose to fight bravely despite being frightened out of their wits. I only felt thankful for this.
The Orcs average Level was low because they were a patrol team. But still, as they say, little drops of water make the mighty ocean. It was also the method of growth which Professor Morals rmended.
There were fourteen Orcs in total, a number that was just right for a light workout.
I took off in a dash from my slightly bent knees, ignoring the arrows and spears flying my way as I moved in a straight line. An arrowhead pierced my clothing and a few drops of blood sttered out as it pricked my skin, but it wasnt able to lodge itself in my stone-hard skin.
QuQu?!
KuKu?!
The Orcs thrusted forth their spears at me even as they panicked. Their choice of action wasnt a bad one to stop a charge, but my weapon was much too powerful for their crude spears to defend against.
Elemental Sword Endymion. This was a weapon capable of ying even Demon King Pedonar. With high-rank Skills and the strength of a Level 204 on top of that, it was possible to steamroll over the Orcs before me.
Chop-
Slicing their weapons and
Chop-
Slicing off their heads too~
There was no need for anything like shy swordsmanship or footwork. I ran wild among the Orc team patrol while only being careful of my eyes and ears. Defending is for dogs or rats-
Not there! You demon!
YuYu~~?!
There was no need to dodge. Torn skin would get better with some saliva, and clothes could be newly bought as well. It was a foregone conclusion that my clothes would disappear if I fought a dragon, so there was no need to feel regret for them.
The important thing was efficiency and Skill development.

?Status: Berserk
My Endurance rank had shot up after having endured the Orcs attacks with my body. I knew some friends in the past who liked to fight elegantly without getting hit, but a feeble body was just a good EXP ticket. Dodging machine gun bullets was only possible in movies. In reality, it was often the case that an arrow would find its mark on your buttocks from far awayand this was why it was necessary to train your sphincter.
My ass is a bit sexy, isnt it?
WuWu!
The Orc archer who had been continuing to tantly aim for my rear from a while ago turned around and began to run away quickly. It was thest remaining one.
Lanuvel swiftly conjured lightning using magic and shouted, Hero-nim! Ill deal with-!
Leave it.
Eh?! Why?!
So that the Orc colony will gather in one ce. Itd be a hassle and take too much time to go around hunting them down one by one.
I was currently drenched all over in the green blood of Orcs. I would have been able to get less blood on me had I fought a little more carefully, but this was the most effective way of hiding the smell of a human from the pig-nosed Orcs sharp sense of smell. I sprayed the deodorant bought from the vige on top of the blood.
Preparationsplete.
We followed after the footprints left by the Orc archer that fled.
Even though my Level is way higher than Hero-nims
Even though I wanted to show you my spearmanship
The pair of muppets constantly grumbled while walking through the forest. From the gist of it, it seemed like they were discontent at not being given the chance to take down the Orcs together, going on about also being respectablepanions of the Hero and whatnot.
I abruptly stopped in my footsteps.
Wha-, what is it?
Lanuvel ducked her head, acting cute. It seemed like she did feel bad about all theining.
Ill exin the n to you guys from now. Well surround and wipe out the Orc colony by the power of our friendship. Their estimated numbers are 5 thousand. You only needed to watch out for the Level 400 chieftain, Level 300 Sorcerer, and Level 200 Champion. Any questions?
Me! Me!
Lanuvel raised her hand suddenly. I nodded at her, urging her to quickly ask.
When will reinforcements arrive?
What reinforcements?
Lanuvel will push from the west gate, youll take the east gate, and Ill take the north. Id like to blockade the south as well, but it cant be helped seeing as we dont have enough friendship power.
Truthfully, I didnt like the power of friendship. In my opinion, there was nothing like justice in lynching an opponent in numbers just because the opponent was strong.
However, I wasnt so foolish as to look away from realityI was still weak. I was in no ce to be picky about methods and means until I grew strong enough. There was no chivalry to speak of when you were weak.
Still, dont worry too much. Theres a river to the north, so its no different than a dead end to the Orcs. With no path of retreat, the Orc colony will being at us viciously. Itll be thrilling, right? Isnt it like you can already hear the sounds of your Level rising? If you have another question, ask away.
It seemed like my n was so perfect that she had nothing more to ask.
Lets show them what our friendship is about.
*
*
*
It was said to fool the enemy, you must first fool your allies.
If I had truly intended on thoughtlessly charging in from the front, I wouldnt have smeared filthy Orc blood all over my body, and I would have disguised the two morons as well. The reason I didnt do that for the two, however, was that Lanuvel and Porter were the bait meant to draw the attention of the 5 thousand Orcs.
Hm Is it a bit too much to call them bait?
Saying that painted me in a rather bad right, so as the borate strategist that I am, I shall correct myself: they had an advanced role of luring away the mob in order to assassinate the Orc leaders.
Lanuvel was the one to start the n.
Boom! Fwrrsh!
She shot off a st of fire magic towards the Orc colony. With this as the signal, battle broke out in the west and east of the colony. Level 200 Magician Lanuvels spells made glorious explosions, while Level 286 Porters spear pierced and mowed down the Orcs.
KuKu!
MuMu!
The Orcs, who had had a bit of time to prepare themselves thanks to the Orc archer who got away, began to split and swarm towards the west and east. The middle area of the colony became quiet as if Moses miracle had urred.
What simple-minded Orcs I say.
Though if you thought about it, they wouldnt have lived behind such primitive wooden fences for walls if they were smart.
I lightly jumped over the fence and quietly infiltrated my way in, rxedly making it to the center of the colony.
CuCu
KuKu
The Orcs, who had developed noses, had a strong tendency to blindly believe in their sense of smell, which was why it was simple to trick them so long as you erased your smell.
Why didnt they know this, you might ask?
The answer is that they had little experience in facing clever humans. Their lifespans were extremely short and theirnguage was too crude, and so they couldnt leave anything like lessons for theirter generations. This was why they never made any progress.
It was also why they didnt attack the vige of humans despite it being quite nearby. To them, humans were creatures of unknown. Nevertheless, they did have an eye for things, so they were aware that the sturdy fences built in the human vige and the clean clothes of its residents were worlds apart from what they had. As a result, the Orcs perceived them as a higher race.
There was another reason on top of that. The Orcs would frequentlye across human groups passing through the forest and would end up in battle, but the mercenaries guarding merchant caravans were stronger than the Orcs. Nothing need to be said about those knights who guarded the carriages of nobles. So as a result, the Orcs got the misunderstanding that all humans were stronger than they were.
It bes a problem after they realize that they thought wrong.
They would raid viges, stealing women, food, weapons and so on. Aftering to know the taste of humans, they would start to run amok just like that.
This Orcs tribe would continue to indiscriminately attack human settlements until they were subjugated by a knight order, mercenary party or the like.
Its over there.
The chieftains residence was a shabbily built log cabin. With the rest of the Orcs having swarmed outside, surprised by the power of our friendship, there was not a single guard protecting the chieftains house. I could clearly see the situation inside through the gaps in the logs.

It seemed like they were preupied with the union of the two races.

Chapter 14 - Dancing with an Orc
Chapter 14: Dancing with an Orc
Yikes, look at me being all distracted.
I got the feeling I knew why people got addicted to voyeurism. The muscr Orcs technique wasnt anything to joke about. Whaty before me was the volcanic eruption of sexual frustration of a male-only race, namely Orcs. The moans and cries of the cowering Elf added an extra level of intensity to it all, to the extent that I felt sorry about interfering, but
Crash-!
I shed through the logs of the cabin and charged in. Now, while the Orc chieftain was unarmed and focused on the Elfs buttocks, was the perfect opportunity to assassinate it.
KuKu-?!
The startled face of a ck pig greeted me. However, the Orc chieftains Level of 387 wasnt for show. Just as Alex had the other day, the Orcs response was extremely fast due to its superior physique despite having noticedte the surprise attackit grabbed the iron sword which had been ced nearby and swung it at me.
sh-
However, there wasnt so much as the shing noise of metals. This was the difference from the time with Alex.
Elemental Sword Endymion was on a different leaguepared to a 0.3mm mechanical pencil. Topare them was sphemy in of itself.
Stter-!
The Orc chieftains green blood dyed the inside of the cabin, but I didnt stopthe wound was shallow. I didnt feel the de cut bone.
Elemental Sword Endymions cutting ability was outstanding without a doubt, but it wasnt to the extent of being able to cut a Level 387 Orcs bone like air.
GuGu!
VuVu!
The other Orcs, surprised by the sound of a pig being murdered in the cabin, came rushing over. I had wanted to deal with the matter quietly, but I wasnt able to exhibit the skill at my prime which had been perfect enough as to massacre mypanions in one breath in the 1st ythrough.
Low Skill ranks, Level, physical ability, equipment The reason for my failure was rather mixed. The need to grow stronger than I was now grew ever more pressing.
Be my EXP!
I ignored the Orcsing at me from behind. A Level 300 Sorcerers attack was somewhat threatening, but it couldnt bepared to the chieftain who could recover from its wounds in no time. I kept my eyes fixed on the Orc before me.
Grip.
Taking one heavy step forward with my right foot while pressing down on the big toe, at the same time I threw out my right arm and stabbed Endymion at my opponents heart.
TuTu!
The Orc chieftain retreated in an attempt to dodge, but ended up tripping over with a crash. Unsightly though it may have been, it had certainly managed to evade my decisive stab.
But what are you gonna do next?
Someone who had fallen down couldnt do anything.
Kyak?!
Correction: there was one thing.
The Orc chieftain grabbed the slender ankle of the Elf whom it had been sharing intimacy with and pulled her before itself. Having seen through its simple thoughts, a wry smile escaped my lips.
Taking a hostage?
FuFu.
Humans and Elves were hardly different appearance-wise. The majority of Elves could be easily distinguished by the shape of their ears, but Orcs distinguished between the two races by their sense of smell. But here was where the misunderstandingy: I didnt smell like a human as I had covered myself in Orc blood. The pretty Elfs body odor unique to her race had also be faint after having skinship with an Orc.
In short, the Orc thought the Elf and I were kin. Still, it knew how to use its head pretty well for an Orc.
Prrk-
But that was all it was capable of.
Elemental Sword Endymions sharp sword point pierced the elegant chest of the Elf, digging deeply through the bruise and wound-covered skin.
Prrk-!
And prating through her back, the sword impaled the Orc behind her as well.
Gu?
Sword lodged in its throat, the Orc chieftain looked at me with eyes full of puzzlement. Apparently, it had previously had some fun with this method. However
Hostages dont work against me.
Any ties in this fantasy world was no different than dirt to me. I wasnt curious in something like the circumstances of an Elf who ended up in an Orc colony.
Th-, thank y-
The Elf thanked me right before she breathed herst. It seemed her partner hadnt at all been to her liking.
I was a little thankful to her too.

The Levels of the Elves I wasing across these days were all formidable. And they gave loads of EXP.
Around this time in the 1st ythrough, I had gotten a savage beating from Alex and was spiritlessly going about the royal pce, not even aware that precious chunks of EXP were leaving the world even then.
This is why information is important.
Was it just a coincidence?
This Tamer was somehow simr to the Elf I had kissed back in the ck market. Pretty Elf, around Level 800, cursed by a demon. There were a whole threemonalities between now and then. Although I had poked my nose into all kinds of ces in the 1st ythrough, I didnt have information regarding these kinds of characters who died early.
Hm well, whatever.
I had still busted the Demon Kings ass well enough even without knowing. Then its fine, isnt it? Digging into secrets would only get me involved in troublesome matters and have my time stolen.
My adventure was all that mattered.
Yali yali ysung, yli y~??
Just like the refrain of this song.
YuYu?
Orky, have you heard of the Song of Cheongsan?
Yu?
How ignorant!
I had killed a Level 387 Orc chieftain and a Level 892 Elf Tamer, and my Level had once again begun to rise like mad. It was no problem even if several Orcs jumped me.
First, the Level 296 Sorcerer.
KuKu?!
I directly took on the ball of fire sted at me from close quarters by the sorcerer with my body, continuing to charge onwards, and collected a pigs head aspensation for the burn.
Thud!
It sure rolled refreshingly.
Come at me, friends.
QuQu!
KuKu!
I had originally nned to end this matter with an assassination, cautiously, but that became unnecessary after I hit the lottery (Level 892 Elf). I had better quickly deal with this Orc colony and move on to the next stage.
I feel like Im forgetting something. Ah!
I remembered what it was.
Hero-nim~!
Please save us~!
The muppets, who had been surrounded by Orcs, were still hanging in there. Putting asidepanion no.1 Lanuvel, it came as a big surprise that Porter was still alive despite him dragging his feet. I didnt dislike that spirit of his, however.
What a fuss. Wait a little.
I used Endymion to counter the pincer attack of three Orc champions around Level 200. It wasnt an exchange of blows which involved amazing skill.
You take a blow, Ill take one too!
But while I was fine, the Orc champions lost their heads one after another. I could feel myself growing stronger with each passing moment.
I had a good momentum going.
Hero-nim~!
Ignoring Lanuvel who was coquettishly calling out for help, I decided to first save Porter who was unyieldingly enduring with a spear in hand. Moving towards the group of Orcs surrounding him, I ignored their crude spears and des and dived in.
KuKu~?!
CuCu~?!
The Orcs standing in my way copsed row after row like bowling pins. I felt as if I had returned to my prime just a little, though the average Level of the bowling pins were a tenth of what I faced back then.
But this was enough for me right now.
Thank you. I survived because of you, Hero-nim. Pant, pant
Porter.
Yes?
Why did you hang in there so tenaciously?
It wouldnt be strange for Porter to die this instant in his current shape. He had followed my rash order to charge into a colony of 5 thousand Orcs withoutint, and had even endured like an honest fool, not fleeing until I came.
I couldnt understand why.
Hero-nim is the one who freed me from the shackles of a ve. My life was yours from that moment on.
Thats all?
Does there need to be more reasons? Urghh I cant take it anymore now that the tensions left me. I am sorry. I will rest for a little.
That said, Porter threw himself onto the ground and with his mouth wide open, not caring whether dust got in or not, he soon fell asleep. He even started to snore.
I couldnt help but to smile wryly. Acting like that even though Orcs were swarming about us.
A real funny one you are.
There were certain words I had wanted to hear from Fairy Queen Syv, but never had I expected to suddenly hear them from Porter whom I had been treating like air.
This party might not be bad
Hero-nim~! My mana reserves all empty~!
Nope. The power of friendship is annoying after all.
*
*
*
Hunting down 5 thousand Orcs also took work. Even if you were to kill one per second, it would take a whole 84 minutes to finish. 28 minutes if the work was shared among three by the power of friendship.
However, I quickly massacred the lot of them almost by myself. It would have taken even less time had the Orcs not scattered out of fright.
KuKu~!
Thest Orc fell down in an unsightly manner.
It would have been convenient if they had attacked me with burning vengeance, like Elves who were all about amity would have done, but Orcs didnt even have the least bit of loyalty in their bonesthe moment they judged there to be no chance of victory, they would run without even looking back. It was the natural course of action seeing as they had no family to protect.
Gurgle-gurgle
The corpses of the Orcs melted and sank into the ground, one after another. This was what happened when a monster born of the power of nature lost its strength and returned to nature. There was only one case when their corpses remained, and that was when they died of natural causes and didnt be EXP.
As for the Elf from before?
Shes good magic material.
Leaving her body to rot just like this or to be feed for wild animals would be disrespecting the dead. She would also be satisfied and be able to rest in peace if her body was converted into funds to keep up appearances for the great Hero who would save humanity.
Excuse me, Hero-nim? You werent going to bury her?
It seemed Lanuvel was speaking in tongues.
Why should I?
Because the dead Elf is pitiful.
Porter, who had woken up before I knew it, nodded as if in agreement. As I took the pure-white cloth which had been covering Endymion and used it to wrap the Elfs corpse like you would a mummy, I replied, Ill say. Im going to use her body for the greater good because I feel sorry for her. And Lanuvel. You seem to be greatly misunderstanding something, but Im the righteous Hero. I wouldnt do something like cutting up a woman to sell her.
Huh?
Whats with that surprised look on your face?
Well thats because
Lanuvel left her words unfinished, ncing about our surroundings.
Hey. Are Orcs and Elves the same? You two take the Elfs corpse and return to the vige, and contact Prince Nasus. Do that and an undertaker wille with payment for the body.
Ah!
I expected no less of you, Hero-nim!
Money was one thing, but this also made for a good excuse to get these muppets off my back. If they dragged their feet like this with Orcs as opponents, it would be utterly inconceivable for them to go up against a dragon; thus, this was a good thing for everybody.
Hero-nim! You cant run off on your own!
Well be waiting at the vige!
Lanuvel and Porter had employed the power of friendship to their hearts content at the Orc colony, and vented their frustrations. The two carried the Elfs corpse and made their way back as if fleeing. Seeing their retreating figures, truthfully, I felt a little worried.
Its best they dont bother Master Mong, but
The reason behind this was that if you bothered Master Mong too much, it would bite you even as it wobbled. Its bite was more painful than you would think, and even I really didnt know how it bit with that jelly-like body.
In any case, I turned around with a light heart. It was now time to go assassinate the drag-
?Weary: Did I not say I woulde without notice?
Oh my! My respected Professor Morals, so youvee.
There have been no problems so far.
?Lecture: No! Regretfully there is one! Do you not think you had perhaps given up on the poor Elfs life too easily? So long as there is life, there is hope. Life is said to be a journey towards death, but by no means does it mean you should give up so simply.
Thats a huge misunderstanding, sir.
I had never given up on the Elf I came across at the Orc colony.
Level 892. How could I give up on this? The very moment I saw that woman who was pressed beneath the excited ck pig, I felt a strong tug of destiny in my heart. I saw the bright future where we would soon be as one.
And thats how it actually went as well. She had be good EXP for me.
?Headache: It is said that those stubborn of heart will fall into unhappiness. One who does not seek happiness on their own cannot enjoy it. Try treating new bonds with care. You will be able to find a happiness that you did not know before.
New bonds, huh
This is difficult. I should take down the dragon first and thinkter!

Chapter 15: Chaooooooo!
Posted on December 26, 2018 by fujimaru 6 Comments
Turning around, I dashed towards the forest.
If the Hero who came to hunt a dragon ended up hunted instead, that wouldnt even amount to be a cheap joke retold by a bard, let alone be an achievement or rise in fame.
Chaooo!
My opponent was an ancient dragon among ancient dragonsthe Twilight on its status window was proof. This meant its hour of death was near.
Of course, it wouldve been fine if it was an obese lizard that didnt do its age justice even with the Twilight status, but surprisingly its job was Supreme Ruler, which spoke volumes of how belligerent it was. And that was why its Level and Skills were all beast.
That Supreme Ruler dragon was naturally not fameless. In the 1st ythrough, not only did I not encounter it, I didnt even know it had died of natural causes; however, I did hear about it from others as it appeared in stories of an evil dragon destroying countless nations about as often as a customer frequented a shop.
Three pairs of wings, massive frame, pitch-ck scales, aggressive It was exactly as the stories described.
Oblivion Dragon King, Noebius.
Although it was slightly pushed down the danger ranking due to Demon King Pedonars revival, it was an existence that took a spot among what Fantasias natives considered the Five Disasters. I knew of the other Disasters since, in the 1st ythrough, I subjugated them one after another inter years, but the one before me was a monster of a card that I waspletely helpless against in my present state.
p! p!
The three pairs of wings of the great ck dragon which rose into the sky blocked out the sun like a sr eclipse. Furtively ncing up, I saw the Oblivion Dragon King opening its maw wide.
Dragonbreath!
The strongest attack method which made the absurd lifeform that was a dragon even more ridiculous in a fantasy worlddragonbreath. When it came to a dragon king, the might of that breath was even more terrible than a natural disaster.
Chaooo~~!
Following a violent roar, the dark venom sprayed out of the Oblivion Dragon Kings maw rained upon the ground like a waterfall.
Ssh!
The deadly venom spread everywhere like a flood. All animals and nts touched by the dragons breath turned ck in an instant and died. It was no use even when those animals fled to higher ces such as mountains or bouldersthe poisonous gas emitted by the venom was extremely fatal as well.
I managed toe out unscathed, however; the dragonbreath had been off mark.
Has its eyes gone bad with age? What pathetic uracy.
I ran in the opposite direction of the vige. The muppets I couldnt care less about, but bringing harm to the great being was the one thing I wanted to avoid.
The appearance of the Oblivion Dragon King derailed my ns big time, but it wasnt to a despairing extent.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 346
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Endurance(S) Physical Strength(A) Agility(A) Resistance(A) Five Senses(A)
?Status: Developing
I had been wildly growing stronger even since I took out the Orc colony. Although I still only had one S-rank Skill, it was just as hard in the 1st ythrough to achieve S-rank as well. It was so hard that the general opinion was that A-rank was as far as you could attain with just effort.
But that didnt apply to me.
Master Mong. Thank you.
My body was reacting on its own. When bacteria and poison invaded my body, the leukocytes produced inrge amounts from the bone marrows created antibodies through phagocytosis to eliminate the antigens. When a wound opened on my body, the thrombocytes derived from megakaryocytes instantly formed a blood clot by clumping and stopped the bleeding.
I didnt need the likes of healing and curing magic of a fantasy world.
Sss
The darkened parts of my skin which was exposed to the poisonous gas returned to normal. The Oblivion Dragon Kings breath was basically poison. While it would have been dangerous had its breathnded on top of my head, I was given time for my leukocytes to produce antibodies due to the dragon misaiming by far.
With this, I was now immune to its poison, but there still remained a threat to be dealt with.
KuKu!
BuBu?!
I ran into a group of Orcs which had been escaping from the dragons breath. Refusing to run away all together like buddies, they instead rushed to attack me.
The reason for this was simple.
Covered in head to toe with deadly venom, I was an extremely threatening existence to the Orcs, and that was why they were attacking to prevent my approach.
But it wasnt as if I couldnt give way either.
Move-!
I took on the Orcs attacks with my body as I charged. Their various ded weapons dealt harsh blows, but I ignored them while coldly observing my surroundings, cutting down any high-level Orc I saw using Endymion.
CuCu~?!
I was no pervert that enjoyed pain, and neither did I have great tolerance for suffering. I merely pushed onwards using the power of science.
The endorphins would suppress physical pain. Normally, endorphin is only released inrge amounts from the pituitary nd and hypothmus during intense exercise or when under stress, but I had no such restrictions.
Only, abusing this had to be avoided due to addictive sensation of ecstasy. It was a hormone that needed to be controlled in moderation.
Whoo~! Gettin high baby~!
HuHu?
Die! Die! Be my EXP! Nyahahah!
QuQu~?!
During battle, the adrenaline released from the adrenal medu triggers the blood vessels throughout the body to expand, thereby enhancing reflexes and bodily functions. In addition, adrenaline suppresses the digestive system and helps prevent being hampered by the rted bodily functions.
However, too much of this hormone is also dangerousyou could copse from hypertension.
How persistent!
Chaooo!
I continued to run, while the Oblivion Dragon King also continued to follow.
When I saw a powerful monster half-dead on its feet, poisoned by the dragon kings venomous breath, I would sneakily approach and im their life using Endymion.
It was the ultimate teamy!
My Level rose at an amazing rate, while my Skills which had stopped at A-rank broke through their limits and improved in all aspects.
Nothing else needed be said.
Hahah! This is my first time getting carried like this!
Chaoooo-!
The good team that we were, we adventured across thends of Fantasia through day and night. Nobody, no one, could get in our way.
Demons, forests, heroes, monsters, knight orders, mercenaries, cities They were all swept away like the dust before a vacuum cleaner.
Itd be great if tomorrow will be like today!
How many days had passed like this without my being aware of it, I wonder? Even our friendship and adventure, which had seemed like it wouldst eternal, had a final stop.
Our parting was as abrupt as our meeting.
*
*
*
Chaooo~~~?!
My dear partner, Oblivion Dragon King Noebius, was gracefully soaring across the night sky when it crashed headlong into the ground with a scream.
Boom-!
At first I suspected an attack by the Demon King. Apart from the possibility of that sponsor of mine attacking out of envy for our terrific friendship, it was impossible for the strongest existence in a fantasy world, a dragon, to be brought down in one blow.
But that wasnt it.
?Race: Chaos Dragon
?Level: 999+

?Skills: Chaos(SS) Destruction(SS) Oblivion(SS) Battle Spirit(S) Deadly Venom(S)
?Status: Old Age, Dislocation, Sprained, Total Exhaustion, Twilight
It couldnt fool its age. It seemed even the strongest dragon was helpless before time. Its prolonged flight had pushed its spine and wings beyond their limits, and its body couldnt hold up as its stamina failed.
As for me, on the other hand
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 903
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Resistance(SS) Berserk(S) Physical Strength(S) Endurance(S) Agility(S)
?Status: Good
I had grown fantastically strong!
My Level had approached the limits of what could be reached through hunting in this peaceful continent. If I wanted to break through Level 999 from here, I absolutely needed the help of my sponsor who possessed many demon minions that were packed full of EXP.
Our adventure had ended at a perfect timing. If there was anything to point out, though
This might be a little fatal to my reputation?
I unhurriedly took in my surroundings. The earth had be contaminated by the dragons breath, and I couldnt find anything alive around.
The number of cities which had been wiped off the map, because of the poor-sighted dragon king shooting its breath in all the wrong directions, wasnt few. And the damage wasnt just limited to this regionhalf of Fantasias middle continent was in the same shape.
Demon King Pedonar had managed to plunge humanity into the depths of fear without even lifting a finger.
Scary bastard.
?Sigh: What a truly fearsome student you are!
Ah! Professor Morals. Its really been a while.
?Troubled: I had no chance to intervene due to the ongoing critical situation. It would have been awful if things went wrong because of me, after all. That is why I waited until the battle ended, but it seems even the continent which was peaceful ended along with it.
What do you mean it ended? Its too early to give up!
Didnt you tell me to not easily give up?
Theres hope in this 2nd ythrough!
In the world of Fantasia, with its middle continent as the center, there are four other simr-sized continents that altogether form the shape of a cross: the east continent, west continent, north continent, and south continent. And the Oblivion Dragon King and my main area of activity was the middle continent. The surrounding four continents were still fine even now, and furthermore, a whole half of the middle continent which had received a big blow was untouched.
Statistically speaking, 90% of humanitys homes were still intact, and that was why it was too early to give up.
?Affirmative: Correct. Hope is an important virtue to the Hero In any case, even a trustworthy and excellent steed mustnt be removed of its bridle. This situation hase to pass because you blindly believed in the memories and information from your 1st ythrough, yes?
I wouldnt deny this. I had thought a young dragon whelp to be living in that nest, but who would have known a dragon of extreme old age on the verge of death to be just sitting there instead? It was even highly aggressive and powerful.
It was no longer the time to worry about charactermy reputation had ended up going down the drain while trying to make an achievement.
Still, there is something I gained in return for that.
Chao
Oblivion Dragon King Noebius, who was all but spent, was quickly running out of life. Had it given up chasing me in the middle and returned to its nest, or folded its wings to take even a brief rest, it would have at least lived for a year longer.
However, this dragon had walked the path of the mighty until the end. It was the road it had chosen itself.
Hey. Are you satisfied?
The Oblivion Dragon King hadnt lost its dignity nor its spirit even as it was dying. I approached the huge head of the copsed dragon and asked it a question, and it opened its mouth to reply.
Chao.
I see.
Thenguage of dragons couldnt be tranted by any Skill. Even schrs who had long studied dragons couldnt understand their words. Only when a dragon lowered itself to polymorph into a human to speak in thenguage of man could a conversation be established.
But this moment was an exception. I had no way knowing the expressions of reptiles, but I felt something simr to conviction that the Oblivion Dragon King wasughing.
As if saying that it was an enjoyable defeat.
I enjoyed it as well, Noebius.
Stab.
I drove Endymion between the center of the dragon kings forehead. Although it wasnt a being that could be so simply killed with this much, but even a gentle breeze is dangerous when the mes of life is almost spent.
Chaooo
The dragonsst will had arge part in it as well. It would have been different had it still harbored regret towards life, but it was satisfied by the oue of our fight which was so intense as to have destroyed half of the middle continent. And that was why it dly granted me the right of the victor.
It passed on to me its own power which had been umted over long years, and the sheer amount of it was beyondmon sense.
Whoosh!
The dragons body, the size of which rivaled a small mountain, turned into a flood of jet-ck venom and swept across the earth once more.
Oblivion Dragon King Noebius It was a terrifying dragon until the very end.
It would be nice if Demon King Pedonar, who had simply died just like that after getting his ass beaten, learned something from this.
A viin should have some grit I say.
Uh?
I was bewildered upon seeing the change in my status.
The dragon hadnt simply left me EXP and its heart after dying. It had even left me the element of chaos which could be said to be its own identity.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)

?Status: Internal Chaos
Thanks to that my status abilities had also fallen into chaos. My race was chaos, my Skills were chaos, and my status was also chaos.
There was nothing but chaos everywhere!
However
Professor Morals, whats with that mosaic?
?Confused: I, I also do not quite
He was hesitant instead of giving a refreshing answer like usual. Could it be an ability which even the teaching staff that created this ridiculous education system didnt know? Or was he feigning ignorance despite knowing all about it?
Honestly speaking, it didnt matter either way.
My oh my~??
My heart began to flutter like in the moment before scratching the covering of a housing lottery ticket.

Chapter 16: What the hell did I just see?
C
?Doubt: It is impossible to hunt the Chaos Dragon. It should have already spent its life and returned to nature by the time the Hero candidate has gathered reliablepanions and be sufficiently strong. This cannot be. It is not an achievement made possible by returning in time. Is that not so?
Professor Morals, whats a mere student like me supposed to know?
I had onlye to feast in the EXP of a pushover dragon whelp. I would never havee had I known the current house owner was this Oblivion Dragon Kingthough I ended up taking it down in the heat of the moment.
And besides that, I had obtained this:
This mosaic skill was still in an unactivated state, but I faintly understood how to active it.
Now! It was time to scratch the lottery ticket.
?Startled: Student Kang Han Soo! Please wait! In days of old, it was said to not chase after a dog whose owner you did not know. Would it not be better to leave it until the higher-ups finish looking into it? We will figure it out quickly! Please wait until then!
Professor Morals left in haste and immediately after he did, an irrepressible sneer formed on my lips.
Pft! An ownerless dog? Being the stiff-minded teacher that he is, he just doesnt know.
When a person is told not to do something, its only natural they want to do it even more. The frail race of man reached the level of taming fire at the end of their repeated foolery of touching the hot flower.
Curiosity is what drove humans to progress.
Pandoras box exists to be opened. If it wasnt to be opened, then its contents shouldnt have been ced in a box to begin with.
This box came from the teaching staffI wasnt to fault in any way.
Now Lets see
The way to activate the skill was simple: the Oblivion Dragon Kings heart. A jet-ck heart(?) the size of a tennis ball. Compared to the surreal immensity of the dragon king which resembled that of a mountain, the source of its power, the heart, was much too small and cute.
Squish-squish.
Even its texture was too much! I thought it was a slime painted in ck.
Now then, lets leave these silly sentiments up to here and
Gulp.
I swallowed the Oblivion Dragon Kings jelly-like soft heart in one mouthful. Killing a dragon would end at gaining arge amount of EXP, but upon consuming its heart you would gain EXP as well as inherit a part of the dragons element.
The Oblivion Dragon Kings element was chaos. This heart would be the key to opening the mosaic skill.
Whooosh-!
I felt chaos raging within my body, as if it was being shredded apart by a blender. Those perverted Murim experts and swordmasters would endure the pain like idiots while saying, Ill take on any pain so long as I can be strong!, but I triggered a release of endorphin and passed over it like watching a movie.
How dreary.
I felt like I could slightly understand the thoughts of those perverts who enjoyed pain. Right now, it was as if I was quietly waiting for a surgical operation to end with my mind wide awake.
What should I do to burn the time? If only someone sang me a song
F
Oh! Its finished.
The ce where the skills name should be was still in mosaic, but the white mosaic had changed to show the rank Fthis signified that the skill had activated.
Hmm. Should I call it ck-Box for now?
Until I find out its real name, that is.
In truth, what did it matter if a skill was called dog sh*t or cow sh*t? It would be a jackpot so long as its effect was good.
I utilized a status ability which I hadnt used in a long timeto examine something in detail.
?Type: Skill
?Name:
?Rank: F
?E: .
?F: You will not forget.
All skills would gain an additional effect or an enhancement of an existing effect when its rank rose. This examine function would cruelly torture you, getting your hopes up by revealing the effect of the next rank. However, even this was hidden by a mosaic for me and so I couldnt see the E-rank effect.
You will not forget? Forget what?
It seemed it would be interesting thoughit smelled like a cheat to me.
In all honesty, it wouldnt matter even if it didnt have an amazing effect. It was good simply because of having baffled the teaching staff who were so great as to send a normal person back in time.
Wasnt that enough?
I began to make my way back in this joyful mood, to the vige where the great being lived.
*
*
*
Hero-nim! Arent you toote?
I was worried something bad happened to you.
The two muppets weed me the moment I arrived at the vige. Perhaps they had eaten a lot of rich food using my money, because their skin was glossy and theirplexion bright.
How long was it since they were grumbling about the dead Elf being pitiful? They were living infort after selling off her remains.
Turning to look at Lanuvel, I asked, How many days has it been since we parted?
Today makes it exactly 7 days. Hero-nim, what have you been doing in that time?
You guys dont know?
How could they not know this?
Yes. You didnt tell us your ns, so how would we know? Sigh! Dont even get me started. While Hero-nim wasnt here, the Dragon Oblivion King Noebius, who was nowhere to be seen for an entire 500 years, showed up andid waste to the middle continent. The heroic characters of the continent stepped in, but they all failed and were annihted.
I see?
The fantasticbination of the Hero and Oblivion Dragon King to slightly exaggerate, our adventure hadnt left any survivors.
Oblivion Dragon King Noebius was so massive that it could be sighted even from very far away, but being a human, my figure would be hard to make out unless from close up. And even if a witness had good eyesight and saw me, it would be meaningless.
Just how many people recognized the face of the Hero? And said face was even covered in venom at the time,pletely darkened. As for me, I was busy harvesting EXP by making use of the dragon kings dragonbreath, so I didnt tell anyone I came across that I was the Hero.
In short, nobody was aware of the truth.
This situation, it might possibly
I swiftly pounded away on my mental calctor.
It wasnt long before I came to a conclusion.
You two, dont be surprised at hearing thisI vanquished Oblivion Dragon King Noebius!
This was an opportunity to raise both achievement and reputation.
Hero-nim did?!
Gasp! Hero-nim is the one who!
Thats right. The dragon kings remains turned into EXP and so disappeared, and even its heart, which is the sole evidence of the deed, was eaten by me on the spot, but you can be certain of it. If you cant believe me then confirm it through informants. Therell be no more news of the Oblivion Dragon Kings attack, Ill bet?
I told the dramatized version of what happened to Lanuvel and Porter, that one thing or another happened leading to the Hero ying the dragon. Naturally, I omitted the part where the Oblivion Dragon King, who had been quietly spending itsst moments in its nest, was woken into a rampage by me.
If this got out, my reputation would eat dirt.
Wow! Youre really amazing! Dealing with a Five Disaster by yourself!
I expected no less of you, Hero-nim!
Perhaps it pricked that they had idling about in the peaceful vige, but the two muppets began to praise my feat, spit flying from their mouths all the while.
Their reaction was very nicethey showed no signs of suspecting me.
Good! Its a brilliantly perfect crime!
In truth, I had been worrying about my reputation all the way until arriving at the vige, but these idiotic fantasy natives let themselves be fooled into thinking Oblivion Dragon King Noebius appearance was a natural disaster. Thanks to that, there would be no problems.
I would only be remembered as the wonderful Hero who took down the dragon king though whether people would believe in it remained to be seen.
It was it had only been a mere fifteen days since I was summoned to be a Hero. Going by the standard I had in the 1st ythrough, in this period of time I should have been struggling with the aversion to taking life until barely reaching Level 10.
Indeed. Level 10!
To a fifteen-day-old fledgling Hero, the Demon King and Oblivion Dragon King were existences of another world far apart. Thinking along these lines, the feat I achieved was impossible even when taking into ount the Heros perk.
It didnt seem like the people would believe the truth that I had defeated the dragon king.
We believe you!
Thats right!
I didnt dislike Lanuvel and Porters ttery. However, they could believe in me unquestioningly because they had witnessed my actions at the Orc settlement. The majority of this worlds natives, who didnt know of my capabilities, wouldnt be like them.
Then what was I to do?
Its simple. I just have to take down another one.
They would believe the truth if I subjugated another powerful foe such as the Oblivion Dragon King Noebius and presented the evidencethis was the ultimate solution that would be an achievement and at the same time raise my fame.
The first time, when my Level was low, would be the hardest. Once you made a start, it would be simple work afterwards. Even when it came to the Five Disasters, only the first subjugation was difficult whereas the rest were rtively easy.
The optimal schedule and course of action became lined up in my mind.
Hero-nim, what are you going to take down again? Lanuvel asked, naively tilting her head to the side.
I had been diligently nagging her and so thought she would act cute less, but she returned back to how she was in the short time we were apart. Putting aside correcting her forter, I answered the question.
Im gonna catch me another big one.
A mass of EXP greater than a Five Disaster.
What?! What about returning to our country? Now theres only one day left until the promised orientation day with Mr. Alex.
Ah! Alex!
I smacked my forehead.
How could I have forgotten that friend of mine?
No matter how blinded you be by fame and reputation, you mustnt forget about your panions. I would have simply overlooked this matter had Lanuvel not reminded me of it.
I felt grateful to the point of kissing her chee- Ah, maybe thats too much.
And Hero-nim.
Talk. Im in a good mood right now.
How should I cook Alex so that therell be rumors praising me?
This is what the Elf undertaker told me, but apparently the Elf whose remains we secured was one of the guardian knights of Elfheims queen. And do you know whats even more surprising that this?
It must be that there was one of those knights back at the ck market as well.
Youre right!
It wasnt even particrly surprising.
The average Level of Elves was around 100. Although it was without a doubt that the Elves who had the blessing of anti-aging lived for prolonged periods of time, there were extremely few among their warriors who had reached over Level 200 because they had less opportunities to gather EXPpared to human mercenaries, to say nothing of Level 800. As such, it was only natural that such individuals would be entrusted with the heavy responsibility of protecting the queen.
In any case
Lanuvel. I get it clearly so shut up now.
My patience was about to be exhausted.
What?!
Bury the rest of what you have to say in your heart. Something like the Elf Kings wife being taken away by a high-ss demon and the mission to search for her missing guardian knights isnt of my concern.
Whats with that ufortable look in your eyes?
The hussy was staring me as if I was ghost.
Hero-nim. How did you know the truth about that?
Its obvious. Yours truly has ten years of Hero-ing scheduled down the road. You can tell this much just by hearing the introduction.
My sense for troublesome incidents was out of this world, though I couldnt avoid them because of my damnedpanions in the 1st ythrough and had to clean up the aftermath all by myself.
Then what about that?
That?
That four-horse carriage rushing towards this vige! It seems like its being chased by masked bandits!
It was as Lanuvel described.
A magnificent carriage, drawn by 4 sturdy white horses. Although it had no g of identity, I knew about the silver fox symbol branded on the carriage.
It was the mark of the Holy Empires first imperial princess.
She belonged to a huge country which reigned over the northern part of the middle continent. The borders of that country was indeed close to this vige.
Why an exalted imperial was crossing the border so urgently was obviousit must be a purge.
Strange. There should still be about 5 years until the emperor kicks the bucket Oh my!
I recalledte the truth that the Oblivion Dragon King had copsed the imperial pce. That was why the emperor must have died early, and the family discord between the ordinary crown prince and clever imperial princess had already broken out.
This fight had ended in an overwhelming victory for the crown prince in the 1st ythrough. It was the result of the high nobles hoping for a pushover emperor rather than a clever empress.
As for the defeated imperial princess?
She curried favor with the Heros party using her beauty until she rose to the seat of empress.
She was a real devious woman
Porter wasnt here as he had gone to the stables in preparation to leave the vige, while the vigers were cooped up in their homes in order to avoid the summer heat. The only ones who had noticed those uninvited guests were me and Lanuvel.
That being the case
Wha-! Atest-model magic staff is flying up there in the east!
Really?!
Lanuvels gaze turned toward the opposite direction of the carriage. In that moment, I inhaled, and then quietly exhaled.
Hoo~~
Although it couldnt bepared to Oblivion Dragon Kings breath, the poisonous gas I produced was blown out of my mouth towards the four-horse carriage.
Whinny~~?
Whinny~?!
The horses which had been galloping hard let out death throes as they toppled down. Even the knight who had been busily whipping the horses dropped down from the drivers seat immediately afterwards.
Crash-!
The four-horse carriage was overturned in the middle of the road.
Kagh?!
Poison!
The pursuers from the Holy Empire, who were hiding their identity with masks, werent spared by the poison. Having approached the stopped carriage, they lifelessly copsed one after another. There was no survivor to speak of who escaped from the poison fog.
The scene grew still.
Hero-nim. I dont see anything in the sky, let alone a magic staff?
Is that so? I must have seen wrong.
We didnt see anything.

Corpses have no ownersits finders keepers.
We were able to find a jewelry box in the imperial princess carriage. The value contained in the box showed the princess strong unwillingness to hand over the seat of emperor so obediently.
If I had it my way I would havepletely stripped and collected the vintage-style ck underwear worn by the imperial princess, but I had to give it up because of the limited baggage we could take.
This was all Lanuvels fault.
How pitiful. Seems theres a story behind them being chased.
She was spouting a line that mightvee from a Herospanion Her words were a bit strange?
In any case
Hey, Lanuvel. Do you only feel sorry for this woman and see me as happy? We cant take along all the looahem! The articles they left behind. What were you doing at the vige instead of doing something like learning four-dimensional inventory magic?
Eh I yed with Mong.
More like harassed it, Im sure!
The great being would wobble in fear whenever it saw Lanuvel. I couldnt imagine how much she had bothered it with her touches.
Wearing an extremely worried look, Lanuvel asked, Hero-nim, who do you think this beautiful woman might be?
You can tell by looking at the symbol on the carriage.
Its my first time seeing it, though.
Mm?
There was no family symbol which Archaeologist Lanuvel didnt recognize. For her to dere ignorance of this symbol, it had to mean this family was established most recently.
I came to ate realization.
Ahh, so thats it. Not much time must have passed since the princess separated from the n at this time period.
The emperor of the Holy Empire was a cool-headed and wise individual. Having foreseen that the empire would be fragmented by the future fight over session rights of his two children, he chose to take a hard approach by proiming his ordinary son as sessor early on and expelling his clever daughter from the imperial family in order to curb her ambition. And then he granted his daughter the rank of marquess.
However, the clever imperial princess didnt give up but instead steadily expanded her influence. Naturally, her family symbol, which had nothing but a pretty appearance, also became renown in that process.
But the imperial princess who still failed to achieve her goal in the end curried favor with the Heros party, and her tears and social ability lead to overthrowing the country.
It was the start of a tragedy.
Lanuvel. Burn all the corpses here with magic.
What?! But
Or you can leave it if you want to see this stripped woman being used as a g, a skewer thrust in her butthole.
Eek?!
The Holy Empire, which had been swiftly regaining stability by the united efforts of the ordinary emperor and the nobles, would be dealt a serious blow by the attack of the barbaric Heros party.
To describe it simply, a rock was smashed using an egg. The majority rule was broken, the few massacring the many. As a result, the holy empire which became nothing but an empty shell of a country ended up walking the path to ruin. The Heros party, drunk on victory, spouted bullsh*t, saying things like the clever empress will rule the country well!.
The country became impoverished because of the rebellion. Its entire military forces which had been reduced as well as public security which had crumbled werent things that were automatically solved because the ruler had a high IQ.
It wasnt about managing a small city. It was arge-scale national undertaking which required a great amount of time and capital. And how to get that capital?
Taxes.
The ones to suffer from the taxes which naturally rose were the citizens. I had never seen a tax-raising ruler doing a good job before.
The previous emperors worries became reality in the worst manner possible.
Frsh!
After taking all the precious metals, we put all the corpses including the imperial princess into the huge carriage and set it alight.
This was my atonement for what I did in the 1st ythrough. Never had I been cursed as much as back then in my entire life.
May the holy empire be peaceful this time around.
I prayed sincerely.
Half of the empiresnds were already contaminated by the Oblivion Dragon Kings venom, so wouldnt they be too pitiful if a fight over session were added on top of that?

We returned to our kingdom over the course of two days. Although it was a day past the promised ten days to return, the Dumpling King magnanimously forgave me the moment I gave him a rotten smile.
And atst
Haha! Hero, wee to the pce training grounds! Seeing how your skin doesnt have a single scar like a pansys, it seems youve never received proper training before. But worry not. The number one sword of the kingdom is going to raise you into an excellent Hero! And in no time at that, heheheh.
Alexs orientation began.
The pce knights, who had surrounded me and Alex in a wide circle as if to trap us in, looked on with interest.
They werent the only audience.
In a shaded spot outside the dirt-filled training grounds, royals and nobles, clergy, maids, magicians and so on were gathered in a crowd, ready to spectate. It felt like I hade to a vige wrestling match.
But this atmosphere wasnt unfamiliar to me. Powerful experiences werent easily forgotten, after allin the 1st ythrough, I dropped into an unfamiliar world and without even the chance for my homesickness to fade, I had no choice but to suffer inhumane abuse all day long.
Beating, healing, beating healing, beating
I could only be beaten truly like a dog on the first day. Whenever I fainted, I would receive healing from the clergyman waiting in the back and then be beaten again. The justification for all this was somewhat convincing on the outside.
In no time, huh
Thats right. In no time. Its an emergency situation where we dont know when the revived Demon King will attack, after all. I will have you undergo intensive training. Have you heard of livebat training? Its extremely effective in raising skill proficiency.
Alex shook his fist hard. It seemed he was itching to give my head a good knock.
What if I die in the process?
You wont. You think I cant adjust my strength against a beginner? Dont worry if it hurts or you get injured. The clergyman and magicians over there will heal you right away. Ah! And you have no right to refuse. The fate of humanity hangs on this matter, so noints epted.
I think itll hurt a lot, though.
You should endure that much. Others wait in lines to receive live training from me. Consider yourself lucky.
Youre okay being resented by the Hero?
That must mean youre just narrow-minded.
A detailed self-introduction was skipped. In the 1st ythrough, there was time for introduction, albeit short, but 2nd ythrough Alex summarized the orientation because he wanted to hit me.
It was shown clearly on his status window as well.
?Race: Human
?Level: 292
?Job: Swordsman(Stamina=Swordsmanship)
?Skills: Swordsmanship(S) Stamina(A) Iron Wall(B) Resistance(B) Fortitude(C)
?Status: Anticipant, Malice
Malice status. I dont think I saw this in the 1st ythrough?
A small smile escaped my lips.
Alex. Shouldnt you be the one being trained instead of me? Who can you teach with a mere Level of 292?
Watch your insolence. If you want less beatings, that is, growled Alex, a vein popping on his forehead.
Im warning you sincerely. I believe Ive let it known that I wiped out an orc settlement and subjugated the Oblivion Dragon King?
Lanuvel had reported this instead of me in the kings audience chamber; though, no one listened to it including the Dumpling King.
Hah! Who would believe in a lie like that? Look here, Hero. You shoulde up with something more realistic if you want to excuse yourself from training.
Keke!
Pft!
Giggle!
The pce knights, who had been listening to our conversation, followed Alex inughing vulgarly, shoulders shaking.
I recalled the memories from the 1st ythrough one after another. They had looked at me with such gazes back then as well, looking down at me as if I was pathetic as I tried somehow to get away from Alex, strenuously crawling about the dirt.
No one had taken my side.
Shut your traps, you government dogs. Does it look fun? Would youugh like that if your wife and children were beaten? Should I hold them by the neck and thrash them all day long?
The mirth disappeared from the pce knights faces at my words and, one after another, they stepped backwards slowly, breaking away from the audience. Not all of them had gone away, however.
Whats with you lot?
The ones being questioned by me avoided my gaze as they replied.
I dont have a wife and children.
I had no opportunities to meet a woman.
My wife passed awayst year.
The mncholic hearts of the pce knights who replied shook me down to my very soul.
These people had the right to keep watching.
Okay! You guys can stay there! I approve! This Hero here is always on the side of singles, after all. Laugh all you want!
Because this is gonna be a fun show.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Resistance(SS) Physical Strength(SS) Deadly Venom(S) Endurance(S) Five Senses(S)
?Status: Good
Alexs status abilities couldnt evenpare. Even if a million-strong armyprised of Alex clones were toe at me, I had the confidence to massacre them all.
What happened to the ck-Box skill, you might ask?
It was a F-rank Skill and so ording to priority, it was pushed to the end of the list. It couldnt be seen unless the list expand function was activated. As for the usage of the Skill, that was still a mystery
Hero! You dont notify the opponent when you attack in a real fight. You have to always be careful of unexpected surprise attacks! Like right now!
Alex said the same thing as he had in the 1st ythrough even as he charged at me.
The body part he was aiming for this time was entirely different, though.
Really now
I had intended on showing him the capability of Endurance(S) had he attacked my abdomen, but as for the part he was aiming for now, I was disinclined to take the hit on purpose because my mood might be ruined. Even so, I didnt defend.
I chose to give this hateful man a kick first in return.
Smack-!
Kagh-?!
Alex, whose right knee joint was twisted in an abnormal direction, tumbled about the ground with a scream.
The jaws of the spectating crowd dropped at this strange situation.
It was a reaction to my liking.
Alex. Stop making a fuss and get up will you. Your opponent wont kind-heartedly wait for you in a real fight.
You bastard!
Still, he lived up to being the future Sword King.
Alex, whose eyes had be bloodshot from my light taunt, pushed off the ground with both hands and nimbly got up.
But that was all.
His right legpletely ruined, it was all Alex could do to stand on the spot, focusing the bnce of his weight on his left leg.
Of course, that wasnt of my concern.
Aargh?!
I swiftly moved behind Alex and gave an upward kick to his tailbone, which gave rise to a powerful bout of opera singing, as I had expected.
He wasnt yet the Sword King, no more than a mere pce knight captain of the kingdom. He was a weakling that would immediately be overwhelmed if one or two low-ss demons came attacking.
Someone like this teaching others?
Look here, Alex. For starters, youre the one with scant livebat experience, so who are you iming to teach?
Eugh..
Dont judge others by appearance andmon sense, because those with prudence act while hiding their real skills. Listen well. Theres a fixed 50% chance of victory in all fights. You die if you cant win. High-spirited idiots like you ignore this rule and end up dying early.
You little! Kugh!
Having fallen on his face, Alex didnt manage to get up immediately. He had crossed the limits of what could be endured through willpowerhis body was on the brink of breaking down.
I heard the shout of the clergy who had been waiting in the back.
Hero-nim! Captain Alex will die at this rate!
Naturally. Itsmon to die in realbat.
I had no thoughts of immediately ceasing this livebat training. I pushed ahead, just as Alex had done to me in the 1st ythrough.
Though of course, I didnt have the intention to drag it on for long.
Next lesson. Winning by fighting well is the worst policy. Winning without fighting is the best policy. A real fight doesnt mean you have to see your opponent bleed, though it might be hard to understand for a savage like you.
You bastard
Copsed in the dirt, Alex red up at me.
I gave a hard kick to that face of his.
And the most important point to keep in mindactual battles are cruel. When harming others, you need to be prepared to suffer in return as well. The moment you forget that, youll be putting yourrades and subordinates in danger.
This was extremely important, because I had suffered the most from this.
Having been kicked this way and that, Alexy spread out on the dirt ground like a rotten squid, not even twitching a finger.
I, I, to the likes of you
Alex was busy trying to deny reality, which was why he didnt even try to listen to my lesson at all.
Tsk-tsk. Denying reality. Amon symptom exhibited when a retard whos faced nothing but weaklings suffers defeat for the first time.
Well! Now then, Ill skip the middle part of my lesson and teach you thest thing on the list. Do you know whats most important in a real fight?
Our eyes just happened to meet.
You cant be?
Alex, who had realized what it was the moment he saw the look in my eyes, opened his mouth wide, seemingly wanting to say something to all the others.
But I was faster.
Crack.
I stomped down between Alexs 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae and broke his neck. The EXP was much too meager, but it was still better than not receiving a tuition fee at all, right?
I revealed the answer to my question:
To not leave future troubles.
I didnt need something bothersome like going over livebat training again.

?Bewildered: You murdered the imperial princess and the Sword King. It is said that you must take off your hat before the past, and take off your outerwear before the future. One must not ignore past mistakes, but let them go for the future. As someone who has failed before, would you not have been able to lead the both of them to a better future?
Oh! Professor Morals. Youvee back quick.
I dont know about a good future, but dont worry about me slipping up. After all, no one shouldve caught on to the truth that I assassinated the imperial princess!
It was no problem at all to my reputation. The innocent citizens of the Holy Empire didnt have to experience the sufferings of a struggle for power either.
Cleanly killing the power-lusting imperial princess rather than changing her for the better was the safest and most guaranteed method. And it was easy to boot, yes?
As for Alex, he wasnt even worth talking about.
?Headache: The greatest victory is to win against your own heart. I meant for you to put down the resentments of the 1st ythrough A sage who rages is no longer a sage. Should not a foolish human be given the chance to repent? Magnanimity is an important virtue that a Hero must have.
Professors nagging a lot today. Hes going to tell me to be generous with the Demon King at this rate.
?Negative: That would be contradicting the Heros reason for existence.
Well see about that~
A startled clergyman and magician came rushing over. After checking Alexs pulse, their faces turned ghostly pale.
He, hes dead
The greatest swordsman of the kingdom, gone in such an absurd
My god
It seemed Alexs death came as a shock. I could somewhat understand them trembling from uneasiness, however, since the man who had protected the royal family and the kingdom had passed away to be a cold dead body.
I could also feel the weight of what I did.
Even now I still thought of Alex as a son of a bitchwere I given the chance to kill him again, I would do so without hesitation. And I was going to honorably shoulder the responsibility for the action I took.
Dont worry! Just leave it to yours truly, the Hero?
I gave a smile meant to instill a sense of security in the powerless masses.
I was quite confident in this area.
Gasp!
Eek?!
Hic!
These guys were so scared because they werent part of the powerless masses. They were sure to havemitted wrongs in secret.
I should remember their faces.
Pce knights! All assemble! Or dont, if you dont want to live.
Gasp?!
A-assemble-!
There was no pce knight who objected to mymand. They promptly gathered before me and stood in rows.
They had imposing demeanors the very picture of military discipline. One of the sights which had bothered me, when I had begun the 2nd ythrough, had just disappeared. The pce knights were looking at me with eyes of admiration.
It was just what I wanted to see.
Thats right! You should at least do this much for a normal man whos been sent back in time!
In this 2nd ythrough, I had shortened to 10 days what had taken 10 years to achieve in the 1st ythrough. With the current level of unity, with these people all gathered under the Heros wings, the problems all over the kingdom could be solved quickly.
That was what we were going to do starting now.
Gentlemen. As you can see, Captain Alex died in the middle of livebat training. Its something that often happens during such training. The most important ability in live training isnt violence, but insight. If you ignore that and run wild, then you end up kicking the bucket like Alex. Are there any would-be-suiciders who failed to understand?
There were no retorts.
It seemed every one of them had epted my teaching.
Good. Ill end my orientation here, and from now on we will be swiftly removing the problems eating away at this kingdom. Mm? I see you guys look like you dont understand? Then Ill be taking questions with your hands on the line. Any knights who have something to ask, raise the hand you want cut off up high.
It seemed their curiosity had cleanly vanished.
How nice to make quick progress.
Ill be splitting you all into two teams starting now. The half of you lot lead by Lanuvel will go to the queens vi and open a purple closet, which will reveal a secret passage. Youll find an assembly room upon reaching the end of that passage, where youll wipe out the demon worshipers there and seize all the rted evidence. As for the queen? Its fine to kill her if she whines too muchshell be going to the gallows anyhow. The rest of you will be cleaning the inside of the kingdom with me.
This should originally have been a premium service, but I had a debt to pay and responsibility to fulfil due to killing Alex. Even without the likes of that barbarian Sword King, I was going to cleanse this Kingdom until peace and public order could be maintainedcleanse it so properly that no one could nitpick about itter!
I was going to exhibit the skills that I had trained while being cursed by the Holy Empire citizens.
?Surprised: Student Kang Han Soo. What change of heart is this?
Ah! You were still here?
Professor Morals. Watch and give me some good marks in reputation. Ill work really hard.

*
*
Abducted to a savage fantasy world, I had solved countless incidents over the course of 10 years for almost free of charge. It would be a lie to say that I had solved them all perfectly, but I was confident that I knew very well regarding the origins and solutions to the problems guing this kingdom which summoned me. It was no different than serving a young dragon whelp on a tter.
It took exactly 5 days.
In the central za which lead to the main entrance of the royal pce. Here, an event which involved killing all the vermin of the kingdom took ce. Although these vermins were currently still bound and captured, they would soon be dealt with.
The organizer of this event was naturally me; however, the protagonist of today wasnt.
Porter. You ready?
Yes, Hero-nim.
There was no water tank that remained clean forever. The water would turn dirty unless you cleaned it periodically.
The public safety of this kingdom was no different. In order to maintain the purity of 1st ss water, a second Alex was absolutely necessary. And a smart one that was loyal to me at that.
Thats why I picked Porter.
You know just how much I value EXP, right?
Yes, Hero-nim! I know extremely well!
Porter, who was gripping an impressive spear instead of heavy baggage, replied valiantly. It was worth sitting him down and educating his mentality for an entire day.
Our surroundings was simply swarming with lumps of EXP. They were the criminals who had been tied up like dried corvinas, row after row, and gathered here all neat for the sake of todays event.
They were originally scheduled to be buried at sea, but such ns were always bound to be changed.
The upations and personalities of the criminals varied as well.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please save me! The Hero has gone mad!
There was still one pal among them who hadnt given up. It was truly regrettable seeing how that tenacity of his was used from a young age to kidnap people, and rape and torture them. His status abilities were quite excellent as well.
?Race: Human
?Level: 116
?Job: Noble(Pedigree=Elegance)
?Skills: Elegance(C) Murder(D) Tactics(D) Business Management(D) Politics(E)
?Status: Dislocation, Minor Injury, Fear
Nobles raised their Level through various methods in order to live a long and healthy life. Elixirs that could be bought with money were the most popr, but because of their rarity and formidable prices, EXP hunting was preferred as the main method.
However, there was no rule saying you should only kill monsterspeople gave EXP too.
Those of military backgrounds who frequently took part in wars between humans or subjugation of monsters were still better off as they had many opportunities to gain EXP.
The problem was those of poor lineage. They desired to retain youth and live long and healthy, but were reluctant to spend on elixirs or had no money to do so, and neither did they wish to venture into battlefields or hunting grounds where they might be hurt or die. They didnt want to spend any effort to get what they wanted.
And this naturally leads to murder.
No noble bes a serial killer right off the bat. Even if they do kill, they start with criminals or ves who have no connection to anything. It wouldnt be a problem if they stop at this point, but it bes serious if theyy a hand on innocentmoners.
Its the death penalty without question.
Kill them.
Yes.
Porters spear pierced through the chest of a noble.
Whooo!
Hero-nim! Hurrah!
Serves you right!
The citizens who hade to spectate cheered. They were rejoicing in the deaths of these wicked nobles who had kidnapped their family members and neighbors, and turned them into EXP. This was nothing but an appetizer, though.
The main dish was going to be served next.
Oh my beloved! How aggrieving this is! Your Majesty~!
A haggard beauty was tied to a wooden pir by herself, in contrast to the event-use dried corvinas, who cried out pleadingly while gazing towards the royal pce.
It was truly difficult inviting her here.
?Race: Human
?Level: 36
?Job: Queen(Favor=Devilishness)
?Skills: Charm(B) Elegance(C) Devilishness(D) Evil Miasma(E) Sociability(E)
?Status: Inner Turmoil, Fear, Breakdown
She was the Dumpling Kings pretty wife.
Any woman would wish to be as beautiful as a flower. If they were already beautiful, they would want to keep that beauty for a long time. The mostmon way to achieve this was to obtain EXP and raise their Level, but women who found this difficult would find their answer in Skills: Charm, Devilishness, Eternal Youth, Blessing, martial arts, magic But these were far harder to improvepared to Levels.
This was because of Skill proficiency.
The queen, who nevertheless still wanted to easily retain her beauty and youth, found the solution to her dilemma in a cult which had been eating away at the kingdomshe made a contract with a demon and borrowed the power of a demon. The Skill Evil Miasma was proof.
She had betrayed her husband and sold her country and people to a demon for the sake of her own beauty. And yet she didnt know what she had done wrong.
So, the verdict?
Kill this bitch too.
Hero-nim. Isnt there leeway for rehabilitation?
Looks like this damned porter still hasnt been educated enough. If you let someone off for being pretty, or for being the queen, then who among the people would believe in the Hero and the country? You wanna die in her stead?
I, I understand.
Stab-!
The body of the queen who wished to live long and pretty fell limp.
She became good EXP.
The queen was caught red-handed on the scene of the crime and the evidence was also clear, so there had been no loophole for her escape through. Despite that, though, the Dumpling King had wanted to quietly hide her away.
It was because of the matter of choosing a sessor.
Imagine an ill-omened creature born of a demon worshiper bing the next king of your countrynone among the popce would ept this quietly. That was why the Dumpling King had wanted to cover up his wifes regrettable crime by confining her to the underground prison, and pass off the matter by saying the queen was murdered during a demon raid.
But I didnt feel the need to that.
Because
Mother!
Queen mother!
the two princes fighting over the seat of sessor would soon be taking their leave as well.
It was disturbing enough that brothers who shared the same blood were trying to kill each other, but they had even stooped to all sorts of filthy corruption and shady dealings in order to procure funds for their activities: monopolizing market stock, loansharking, gambling, contract killing, political marriage, ckmailing
These guys had no leeway for rehabilitation.
If you brothers go to hell, then dont fight among yourselves but be filial instead. With twice the sincerity. End of verdict, kill them.
Yes!
Stab! Stab!
The two princes whose Levels were around 200 were stabbed to death by Porters spear. The spectating citizens, while surprised, didnt appear too shocked. They epted this situation as a matter of course. This wasnt something that could happen normally; after all, royalty were existences that were like the clouds in the sky in a fantasy world.
And that was why I dragged these people down to earth. I mitigated the shock by having the queen killed after dering her a demon worshiper, and executing the princes she gave birth to in following.
This was the answer to this matter. No one raised an objection to my verdict, and with this the atmosphere had be just how I wanted it to be like.
Porter. Quickly take out the rest of the garbage.
Garbage? Ah! Yes! Hero-nim!
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab
The citizens now merely looked on, taking things in stride. In this situation where even the royals were executed, would they care for the death of nobles and celebrities? The matter quickly came to a close withoutplicated trials.
The more wicked a noble was, the higher their Level. Thanks to that, Porters Level shot up as well.
?Race: Human
?Level: 325
?Job: Adjudicator(CriminalJudgement)
?Skills: Judgement(A) Tenacity(B) Survivability(C) Spearmanship(C) Courage(D)
?Status: Tense
Just half a month back he had been a Level 286 ve; however, having swiftly developed with the help and encouragement of the brilliant Sir Hero who had 10 years of experience under his belt, Porter had transformed into the great manly man he was now. Even his Job had changed from a cheap Mercenary to Adjudicator, and his Skill set was truly of quality too.
Lets see Right. Now all you need is a fine woman by your side and youd be the picture of a hero!
There was a very suitable woman for that positionthe princess of the kingdom. To think that after having investigated her down to the veryst detail, nothing came up except for teddy bear underwear Tsk!
She was a character beloved by the people, so an unknown man of mercenary background wouldnt have been able to even dare dream of associating, but an opportunity had arrived due to the queen causing trouble.
You only live once.
Hero-nim? No matter what, thats a bit
Why?
I murdered the family of the princess?
Aha! And I thought it was something else.
This porter was a hulking chicken as usual.
Get it right. Its not murder, but execution. Somebody would have had to do it. The queen and princes will live forever eternal in your heart as EXP. Were already one family!
Even if nothing but teddy bear underwear turned up in the princess closet, she would never be able to escape from the disgrace and suspicion from being the daughter of a demon worshiperher value as a princess had taken a nosedive.
And so someone like you is more than a match for her. Be confident!
I might be poisoned to death on our first wedding night
I say! Just trust in this great Hero~
Ill raise you up till youre king!

Chapter 19 - My hand slipped. Sorry!
Chapter 19: My hand slipped. Sorry!
My fame spread throughout the entirety of Fantasia. Although there was the side issue of the Dumpling King going into seclusion out of deep grief regarding the recent incident, the majority of the kingdoms people were busy praising the righteous Sir Hero, and the neighboring countries were no exception either.
We pray for Sir Hero to be forever victorious! This is a trifling gift our empire has prepared! Please ept it!
Is itfortable to wear? It is a piece of armor manufactured with our kingdoms heart and soul. I hope that it will be of help when it is time for Sir Hero to y the Demon King.
How do you do, Sir Hero. Our princess stubbornly insisted oning to see you. Ah! By no means will you be a live-in son-inw! Absolutely not!
The various countries had respectively sent batches of precious gifts and pretty youngdies, their representatives enthusiastically exining just how good their homnd is to their citizens.
The Holy Empire is peaceful even after the recent passing of the previous emperor. There is no need for Sir Hero to take the trouble to visit.
The Demon King has resurrected, has he not? It would be shameful for humanity to hold back Sir Hero. Our kingdom has extremely low crime rates.
The Ocean Kingdom is extremely safe! The nobles subjugate pirates every day. We do not have even the slightest intention to show Sir Hero to our filthy waters.
I replied with a smile.
The women aside, Ill gratefully ept your gifts.
Regarding women, there were plenty of them in the capital of this kingdom too. The ce was bursting with lovelydies who had flocked over from all over the kingdom, dreaming a life of Cindere.
There was no need to be fixated on princesses, noble misses and maidens. It didnt matter whether it be a prostitute or widow, so long as they responded with a smiling face without anythingplicated when I extended a hand in weariness.
The important thing was healing of the heart.
I didnt think like this from the start either. In the grueling days of the 1st ythrough, there was a time when I waspletely drunk at Tonys pub, seriously considering suicide. At that time, it was no beautiful princess or Elf who earnestly consoled and dissuaded me from the thoughtit was one of those youngdies who could be seen anywhere along the streets.
Salvation isnt something so far away. You merely turn a blind eye to it yourself.
The heroes of old were all modest, though
Pitiful creatures they were.
Brushing aside Lanuvels discontent, I scanned through the gifts. Although it seemed obvious they were showing sincerity, there were no elixirs or equipment that would be of practical help to my current self, though I might have used these things if I was around Level 300.
Porter.
Yes, Sir Hero.
You deal with all these gifts.
Huuh?!
Dont make me say it twice. Equipments and drugs aside, dont sell the elixirs that raise EXP but eat them all. Youre dead if I catch you selling them. Deader than dead.
Ill take it to heart!
His valiant reply was to my liking.
If Porter ate those elixirs and armed himself with high-ss equipment, he should be well capable of filling in the vacancy left by Alex.
There was now nothing more for me to do in the kingdom.
Lanuvel.
Yes! You dont need to give me anything, though!
Of course I wont. Are you nuts?
Come on. Ill show you what a real Hero is. All you need to do is ry what you see and feel to the people.
What are you going to do? asked Lanuvel with a tilted head.
A very good question. It would have been even better if she hadnt put up that cute front.
I replied while preparing Endymion.
Achievement work.
While it wouldnt be a bad idea to fully enjoy aid-back country life until my ultimate sponsor, Demon King Pedonar, started looking after me, but the first demon appearance would happen a yearter from now.
It was too slow, humanly speaking, so I decided to step up myself.
Achievement?
Youll find out if youe along.
Now, it was time to really prepare to graduate.
*
*
*
I really did all kinds of things in the 1st ythrough, such as finding a pet cat lost in a forest by a vige girl, procuring a herb for an elderly man that lived alone, delivering a timid wuss love letter to his unrequited love It didnt pay and no one recognised me for it!
It was all about self-satisfaction. And even in this regard, only mypanions had been happy about it while I only umted stress from having wasted precious time and faculty of mind.
It was different this time round in the 2nd ythrough, however; I intended on choosing to do things that were certain achievements.
I had already seeded halfway in this. Was it perhaps after I had cleansed the kingdom?
The natives of this fantasy world had begun to believe in the rumours regarding the Oblivion Dragon King subjugation, that the Hero who had been summoned for no more than half a month had hunted down one of the Five Disasters all by himself. I just needed to seed in another fairly big event from now on.
Sir Hero. Why did wee here? Lanuvel, who had tagged along, asked randomly.
Isnt the reason obvious no matter where a Hero goes?
To solve a problem.
Solve the Elf country? Are you going to conquer it or something?
We were in a Magus Tower built in the heart of Elfheim. With Prince Nasus full cooperation, we were able toe to the Elf kingdoms capital in an instant by using a spatial transfer magic circle.
The cities and viges inhabited by Elves were the very embodiment of fantasy, because whether it be their buildings, benches, pavements, furnitures, ornaments, castle walls all of these were works of art. Water and Earth Elementals shaped y into the desired forms, while Fire Elementals fired them like pottery. And this wasnt all.
The majority of Elven houses had a huge windwheel attached to themthey were none other than windmills.
The feeble-bodied Elves were weak in physicalbor without gender distinction, and that was why they mainly used their windmills to draw water or mill grain. It was in this area that the Wind Elementals came into y.
How rare of you, Lanuvel. Correct.
Gasp?! Youre really going to take over?! By yourself?!
Ssh! Lower your voice, you ninny.
Lanuvel covered her mouth with both hands as she nodded.
How had I kept this kind of airhead around me for so long in the 1st ythrough? I truly even felt respect for the me then.
At that moment, Elves in fancy attire approached us. There was a familiar face among them as well.
Wee! Sir Hero, it is good that you havee to Elfheim!
Prince Nasus weed us with a bright smile.
I returned the favor with a smiling face as well.
Thank you for permitting us entry, Nasus.
I would have been very much upset if he hadnt.
Not at all. Now! Let us go forth. I have prepared a wee banquet for Sir Hero. I shall escort you myself.
You dont need to go so far
You dont have to refuse. It is my great honor to receive a distinguished guest.
Hm. A prince I just couldnt dislike!
Some would say that bribery and ttery is bad, but material sincerity is the best method of expression.
A formless heart cant be believed in. Trust is born from material exchange. Crops dont grow with love alone, no? Good fertilizer, insecticide, greenhouse and so on are needed.
On that note:
I look forward to the banquet.
Prince Nasus had shown adequate sincerity. He was a hundred times better than Princess Sylvia who had, despite me killing this kind of brother and setting her on the throne in the 1st ythrough, given me nothing but lip-service for my efforts.
We made our way to where the banquet was being held.
*
*
*
The main diet of Elves were grain and fruits. This wasnt because Elves were noble or pacifistswhen animals were killed or the leaves of nts were torn, the Heart Elementals would be enraged by their pain and fear. As a result, the Elves food culture and habits became concentrated in one area.
Sylvia liked to cook and eat the fish she personally caught, and thats why she often angered the Elementals. I worried about who would take that troublemakers hand in marriage. Though, now I can no longer even worry for her
Ahh, I see.
I casually went along with Nasus words.
The future Elf Queen Sylvia. I had spent a whole 9 years traveling together with her in the past. I had long known that woman to an avid lover of meat, unlike an Elf. Perhaps that was why she was violent?
The dishes in the banquet were mainlyprised of abination of bread and fruits. The taste was mostly excellent. It was clear to see that as much as they gave up on fresh-tasting materials like meat and fish, they had experimented on bringing out vor in other areas. Vegetables such as tomatoes, chilli and paprika were used here and there too. So these greens were eptable?
Sir Hero. You seem to have be strong, said Nasus with a meaningful smile. He was a sharp one as ever.
A bit?
Haha! I can only marvel at Sir Heros capacity, being able to take down Oblivion Dragon King Noebius with with just a bit! Now! Please ept a ss. It is a drink made from a fruit that ripens once every century.
The banquet continued in this manner.
However, my eyes were always chasing the Status of the Elves nearby. Among them, my attention was fixed on the movements of a certain female knight.
?Race: Half-Elf
?Level: 999+
?Job: Knight(LoyaltyFortitude)
?Skills: Fortitude(S) Swordsmanship(A) Elementalism(A) Magic(A) Archery(A)
?Status: Resolute, Uplifted
She was the aide of mid-boss Nasus, the 3rd strongest individual in all of Elheim. She had yed a crucial part in the sess of in Prince Nasus rebellion. While the strongest in the kingdom was by far the Elf King, he would be helpless if the 2nd and 3rd strongest were to attack at the same time.
The female knight looked to be in her early twenties, but she was a respected instructor and knight who was the oldest among her race excluding the eternally living royalty, a hybrid who was capable in all aspects. She was extremely proficient in using the right skill for the right situation, and the synergy of her Knight Job and Fortitude(S) was truly nightmarish. She had overwhelmed the entire Hero party by herself at one timethough in the end, she did sumb before the cowardly power of friendship!
Her name was Elf A as I recalled it.
Eiris. She is my most trusted aide. Being inflexible is her shoring, but she knows better than anybody else about the strength of humans.
Ah, okay.
Eiris. I felt like she did have a name like that. Prince Nasus, who had an extraordinarily quick perception, immediately called over Eiris and introduced her to me.
She had transcended the lifespan of an Elf despite not being royalty. It was the power of the training she underwent, and her high Level and Skills. Even with their anti-aging, Elves would look like they were in their middle thirties when they neared the end of their years, yet she was maintaining the sweet appearance of someone in their twenties. And in particr
Sir Hero. Does my chest bother you?
Mm a bit?
It was toorge, even for an Elf.
In the 1st ythrough, I had wondered about this even while I was teetering on the edge of life facing her. The Elf was unlike an Elf.
Eiris responded as if it was nothing much, My grandmother was a human. She saved my grandfather who was dying from the curse of a demon, and the two fell in love. Grandfather awfully doted on me until he passed away, said I resembled my grandmother very much. My chest in particr.
I see he was a gentleman.
I even felt slight respect at that forwardness unlike an Elf.
I think it a unique preference, though
The female knight gave a wry smile.
With this, however, one of the things Id been wondering about was solvedthe reason why the most respected knight of the Elf kingdom had betrayed her king and sided with the prince to help him rebel.
It was because Prince Nasus hoped for Elves and humans to unite. From Eiris standpoint, she had had no other choice.
We enjoyed the banquet for a long time, eating and drinking, and in this manner the banquet was nearing full swing, when
Bang!
The doors to the banquet hall opened violently, and a string of people entered. The youth at their lead shouted with a twisted look on his face, Nasus! What is this about!
There was no Elf that would casually call the first prince by his nameexcept for one person.
We were in the middle of holding a weing banquet for Sir Hero, Father.
The princes father. That is to say, the current Elf King.
I had no opportunity to meet him in the 1st ythrough, since he had already died during the rebellion, and that was why I couldnt see for myself how great a king he was, but
Now, shall I have me a look at his Status?
?Race: Arch-Elf
?Level: 999+
?Job: Rain King(ReputationLeadership)
?Skills: Elementalism(SS) Archery(C) Swordsmanship(C) Majesty(D) Politics(D)
?Status: Enraged
I was bbergasted. If only looking at the pitiful Skills and their ranks while ignoring his race and Job, I would have thought him an Elf who had barely crossed over Level 999.
Still, he was the Elf King. He was someone whose Level alone at least was fantastically high.
Goodness! Whod have known there was a mound of EXP even easier to take than a dragon whelp!
The world was wide indeed. I was right to have chosen the Elf kingdom.
Hero? He is a human, is he not!
The atmosphere in the banquet hall went cold at the one line spoken by the Elf King.
This ce was crowded with the confidants of Prince Nasus. They couldnt help but react sensitively to the Elf Kings dismissive attitude towards humans. Whats more, the human in question was methe great Hero who would save the world.
Father. You are standing before Sir Hero.
Hmph! You think I would pay attention to the likes of a filthy human? Nasus. You should be the one snapping out of it. The humans are vermin that murdered your younger sister. Did you not also feel the fear and humiliation carved in that childs remains through the Heart Elementals? Do you intend on taking the humans side despite this?!
The Elf King jabbed his fingers in my direction, trembling.
Can I cut him down right now, I wonder?
My king. Sylvias death is not the fault of humans. It was merely the natural end of an antagonistic Elf who did not know that greatness isparative. The fear and humiliation that child felt it seems she woke up to reality before her death. As a brother, I am simply d at the growth of my younger sibling.
You little! Nasus-!
Losing his head, the Elf King began to summon Elementals.
And then his summoning was cancelled.
Y-your Majesty!
My king?!
Gasp-?!
The guardian knights and attendants who had apanied the king let out ear-piercing screams.
As for the Elf King, he looked down before saying, What, what kind of nonsense is
Thud
The Elf King, his chest pierced through by Elemental Sword Endymion, heaved a mouthful of blood as he weakly copsed.
Level was by no means omnipotent. Not only that, it was more closer to a supplement which augmented Skills, and that was why it was useless no matter how high your Level was if your Skills were poor. Furthermore, your defense would be vulnerable if your Skills were focused on offense. The Level 800 or so Elf archer and tamer I previously killed were good examples.
Me, on the other hand?
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Resistance(SS) Endurance(SS) Physical Strength(SS) Agility(SS) Five Senses(SS)
?Status: Satisfied.
My high rank skills were greatly faithful to the fundamentals. I wouldnt even break a sweat killing an Elf who was as good as a corpse without Elementals.
Mm?
Everyone was staring at me.
Their eyes were sparkling as if hoping for the great Hero, yours truly, to say something, and so I decided to take out my ultimate killing technique from the 1st ythrough. I had used it often as it had an extremely high sess rate. The expression and tone was crucial.
Dearie me! My hand slipped. Sorry!
I had golden hands that could even take downpanions with two slip ups.
My skills were an ident too.

Chapter 20 - Guardian Hero of Love
Chapter 20: Guardian Hero of Love
News of the Elf Kings death dealt a sudden shock to the continent. The personal connections of the Elf King, who had lived for a very long period of time, were exceedingly numerous and deep. In the 1st ythrough, from the moment Prince Nasus ascended the throne after the Elf Kings death in the rebellion, he was denounced by the people from everywhere across Fantasias continents. Following that event, the Heros party set forth to attack Elfheim with the aid and support of the Elf Kings friends This time, however, the situation wasrgely different.
The likes of the Elf King attacked the great Hero!
And even his reason for doing so was petty. As the truth about the king attacking the Hero first because he was human, the matter only blew out of proportion. Even those who knew the Elf King said This madman is hopeless even with friendship and kept silent, let alonement his death.
Things were turning out swell. Nobody was implicating me. There were no problems to my reputation.
?Fatigued: So you killed the Elf King who fell for the princes taunt. The way to persuade another is not by words, but through ones behavior. Was your action not excessive to be called self-defense? A bow pulled back too far is bound to break.
Professor Morals. I see youre popping up everywhere now.
?Negative: I did not n oning this time as well. There were several cases of the princes rebellion being stopped in advance, but Student Kang Han Soo is the first Hero to personally murder the Elf King. And it happened much too quickly! That is why I havee to investigate.
Aha! Im receiving attention in various ways.
Though I would more grateful if you specially let me graduate.
?Apologetic: That would be difficult.
Those were the words Professor Morals left before vanishing. It seemed he had really onlye to see if the Elf King was killed by me.
Damn nagging
?Just Remembered: I will be right back after taking care of the urgent papers. I will being by tomorrow at thetest. Please get along with yourpanions until then! This is a request from me. Understood?
Yes! Professor Morals! Dont worry!
There were only twopanions to speak of, though.
?Warning: That includes pastpanions.
Professor Morals left this time for real.
I couldnt wrap my head around it at all. I had raised up Porter as Alexs substitute and ced him in an important post in the kingdom. What could be the reason for Professor making such a fuss when there were no problems at all?
In any case
Humans VS Elves.
The situation had escted to the point of war breaking out between the two races.
The Elf Kings existence had yed an extremelyrge part in the Elves, who had been suppressed by the humans to the extent of bing hunting game, maintaining their kingdom. He was someone who had gone beyond the ordinary with his absurdly high Level. Although he was really nothing much in an actual fight, to the humans who didnt know his Skills were poop, the Elf King was a fear-inspiring character covered in haze who acted as a war deterrent.
But he had died. And there was adequate reason to wage war against the Elves too: Lets help Sir Hero and smash up the Elves country!
But the busybody Hero showedpassion. He stood up for them saying that not all Elves were human-abhorring nuggets of EXP like the Elf King and thus, the sparks of war quickly died out.
Of course, I hadnt worked for free. I ate EXP, made an achievement, gained fame, received gifts, and women too Mm. Anyhow
Amazing.
I felt like I could appoint Prince Nasus as my second sponsor; though, I wouldnt be getting any support ever once I returned to Earth this time.
Still, amazing things were amazing.
Are you talking about me? asked Female Elf knight Eiris coyly, lying sideways on the bed. I did bully her quite a bit fromst night after the banquet ended. Noticing my gaze, she dragged up the nkets which had slipped down and barely covered her curves.
But it is amazing, isnt it? Elf chests are supposed to be like LCD monitors.
Of course, youre amazing too.
I strongly supported the union of humans and Elves. An amazing hybrid would be born if only the advantages of the two races were joined. Eiris was proof of this.
The eyes of youngdies would turn starry if I introduced myself as the Hero in a human kingdom. Emphasizing their own sexual appeal was a given.
The Elf kingdom was different, however; the Elvendies might be curious about me, but they didnt view me as a potential lover. Not wanting to give up, I had met with countless Elf women in the wee banquet, but not a single one of them had thrown me even a jokingly flirty nce. 100% pure Elves were a lost cause, however
Its been a really long since Ive had a man.
Eiris, whose blood was one-fourth human, had sneaked a dirty peek at my Excalibur and giggled. Her husband had died during sexual intercourse about 2 years back. It was a tragedy that struck within two days of their marriagethe man couldnt handle Eiris whose passion was unlike an Elfs.
Having abruptly be a widow and because the Elf men kept away from her, Eiris couldnt even enjoy a one night stand, let alone remarry for no less than 2 thousand years!
I rested well thanks to you, Eiris.
Did you really have a rest? Im exhausted like a water-drunk Elemental, though.
Ive rested very well. My weary heart, that is.
A bit of the stress which had piled up due to studying them morals was eased.
You cant let up a single moment when ites to the exciting verbal expressions of humans. May your days ahead be only full of blessings, Sir Hero who is hot like fire and hard like rock.
Thanks.
After exchanging a deep kiss for thest time with Eiris, I left the bedroom and swiftly prepared to leavethere was no reason to further stay in Elfheim. I had easily achieved my objective ining.
Hunting the Elf King.
This was why I had said amazing to myself. While the Elf King was really quite pathetic, he was far higher up than the Oblivion Dragon King in terms of pure Level. And that was boosted fivefold with the Heros perk! I had instantly gained an immense amount of EXP greater than what could be had by an ordinary Hero killing all the Five Disasters alone.
This standard of equipment can be considered outstanding too.
Nasus, who had ascended the throne in a natural manner, had given me an assortment of things as thanks: helmet, armor, ne, ring, earring, potion It would be difficult to obtain more arms and consumables than this in a short period of time; they had to be custom-tailored. I had to search through ruins or scrounge up high-quality materials by hunting, and go find a legendary cksmith or alchemist. Putting aside that it would be troublesome, it would take a lot time to do so.
Sir Hero~!
Deep, dark circles under her eyes, Lanuvel came over running after spotting me. As an archaeologist with a curious heart, she must have went around the entire Elf kingdom through the night; after all, she had done so in the 1st ythrough as well. This was because Elfheim was the one ce that even the well-knowledgeable Lanuvel hadnt visited before.
For a long time the Elf kingdom had been closed off to the outside world. Its cities, viges and so on were beautiful like art on the outside, but there was really nothing to it all if you looked just a bit closer. Politics, economics, techniques, philosophy, art, music Everything had been preserved ording to convention dating back to ten thousands of years. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to call them modern cavemen who had rejected civilization; though, that might seem attractive to schrs.
Lanuvel. Did you have a good look at the folk vige?
Its not enough. Give me just a few more days! Even if its one more!
No can do.
Timing was always important. As of present, it was widely known that I had subjugated the Oblivion Dragon King who hadid waste the half of the middle continent, and that I had meted judgement to the ipetent previous Elf King. As such, I had to take down the Demon King as well before my current poprity cooled down.
I would be able to get an A-grade in reputation at this timing. While I was slightly uneasy regarding achievement, the rted requirements were bound to be satisfied in the process of wiping out demons in the Demon Kings territory.
Sir Hero. Even when Im asking you like this?
Lanuvel gazed at me with sorrowful, upturned eyes. She was putting up the cute act even stronger than usual. It seemed the Elf country was considerably to her liking.
However
If you like it so much then live here.
I deflected her flimsy pretty-woman attack with a single snort.
Aww
Lanuvel and I, the former pouting like a pufferfish, used a spatial transfer magic circle to return to the kingdom whence we came.
Something good had been going on there as well.
*
*
*
Congrattions, Porter. What did I tell you, that it would go well, right? Even a princess beloved by the people is nothing without a man to protect her. Someone like you is a more than worthy match.
Sir Hero. So I was thinking you should call me by name n
Im so happy for you! Subordinate A!
Ah, okay.
A marriage between the timid Subordinate A and the beautiful princess! Their rtionship which had been making no progress had developed at the speed of lightning from the moment news of the Elf Kings death spread. It seemed the Dumpling King and the nobles had persuaded the princess and as a result, they had already even spent their first night together.
What gratifying happy events.
Sir Hero. The brides expression is dark, though?
Upon hearing Lanuvels indication, I examined the Status of the princess who was just entering the wedding hall amidst apuse.
?Race: Human
?Level: 73
?Job: Princess(National Strength=Charm)
?Skills: Charm(B) Coquetry(C) Song and Dance(D) Sociability(E) Eternal Youth(E)
?Status: Resigned, Tense, Expectant, Worried
Her Level and Skills were excellent, and her status was extremely good too. You couldnt only be excited and happy getting married for the first time, could you? Newly-married life, childbirth, postpartum recovery, problem of session There was a great mountain of worries to be had from now.
Lanuvel. Its your worthless imagination at y. Just p instead.
Aww okay.
p p p!
p p!
The beautiful wedding ceremony was nearing its end; however, at the moment the bride and groom were about to exchange vows after having put on their wedding rings
Crash-!
A youth kicked open the doors to the wedding hall, intruding without permission, and caused amotion yelling, I object to this marriage!
Pce knights joined the scene after him.
Catch that punk!
What mischief is this?!
Interrupting this sacred marriage!
The youth causing a problem was something I remembered. In the 1st ythrough, he was Mercenary B who convinced the princess, whose political marriage had been decided with an allied country, to flee under cover of night to a country that had no rtion to either side. An outstanding mercenary, he was a rather renown young man of influence.
But that was all. From my perspective, Mercenary B was a strong-armed ruffian hitting on the princess who often left the pce to y with her maids.
Shiing-
I unsheathed Elemental Sword Endymion. I couldnt find a single reason nor need to spare that barbarian who had interrupted this sacred marriage.
Wai-, wait a moment!
The kind-hearted princess began to plead for the the youth to be let off. Although it felt like the verdict had been made too hastily, since spilling blood in the wedding hall was bad luck, it was decided for the matter to be closed with him being chased out.
Immediately after the disturbance ended
That man. He mustve dearly loved the princess. Lanuvel spouted something strange.
Love? Its obsession born from a filthy desire to possess.
Subordinate As formerly bright but now stiff expression drew my attention. Tsk-tsk! How his heart must ache But then suddenly, I recalled Professor Morals request for me to take good care of mypanions.
Yes, thats right
I never left future troubles be no matter the asion.
*
*
*
Mercenary B, who was beaten and then chased out of the wedding hall, didnt give up. After receiving first-aid from a healerpanion, he secretly snuck inside the pce under the cover of darkness. His objective was the brides bedroomhe was targeting the woman who had only just married. As a righteous Hero, I couldnt turn a blind eye to this, could I?
Stab!
Elemental Sword Endymion pierced through Mercenary Bs neck.
Kagh-! He-, Hero!
Punishment for the home wrecker.
Envying and trying to steal anothers beautiful bride? Just what kind of monkey was he to be unable to contain his lust and emotions?
But even that was now finished. I reduced Mercenary Bs corpse to almost nothing, turning it into a handful of dark matter.
Now, isnt this a strange feeling?
It feel cool and refreshing inside, as if I had drunk a cool ss of cider! I simply felt great despite that taking care of this kind of home wrecker didnt add to my achievements or help reputation in any way.
I wished for Subordinate A to be happy.
Mm. Feels good.
It was definitely a sign telling me that I was doing good. It felt like I had drawn closer to the epilogue.
*
*
*
The Hero and Lanuvel wished Subordinate A happiness before parting with him. It was with light hearts that the two set their foot upon Demon Lord Pedonars vast territory. There would be no stopping from hereonuntil we reached the Demon Kings castle.
Lanuvel. You keep your ass safe in the back, and thenter on spread far and wide the awesome tale of how the great Hero, yours truly, wiped out the demons. You can do that much with magic, right?
Probably?
Mydy Earth. Iming to meet you now.

Chapter 21: I want to go home. Plz!
Posted on January 20, 2019 by fujimaru 5 Comments
*This chapters original(raw) title is in English
My achievement work progressed smoothly. As I found it bothersome to go around killing demons one by one, I dispersed deadly venom over the entire territory of the Demon King which was located southernmost in the middle continent. Although there would be some loss of EXP, my Level hade too far for small increments to count anymore. Rivers,kes, the sky and so on quickly became contaminated.
Thud.
Flop.
All the living creatures in the region copsed feebly.
While it was farckingpared to Oblivion Dragon King Noebius dragonbreath, my antibodies had created a new poison in the manner of fighting fire with fire. Its strong point was that it was colorless and odorless. It was a poison made for the timid Hero who wants to kill some bastard no matter what, but hesitates because of reputation and potential controversy. It was extremely effective against demons too.
?Shocked: I do not know where to begin.
Ah! Professor Morals. Its only natural to not know. Its so perfect that theres nothing to point out, right?
For the officer-level demons who endured the deadly poison, I carried out the service of going to them myself. There were no obstructions because I had personally studied their hideouts, weaknesses, characteristics, the method to defeat them and so on in the 1st ythrough. Now, all that awaited me was the battle against Demon King Pedonar.
I felt new sentiments, the reason being that, in the 1st ythrough, I had marched towards the Demon Kings stronghold in an inefficient way while humoring my bothersomepanions. They had held parties every other day, for some reason, when all they did was lynch the Demon King But there was no need to do so in this 2nd ythrough.
The demons of the middle continent who were helplessly done in by the poison I had dispersed received a blow that drove them close to extinction. It would be difficult for them to make aeback in the future, let alone invade humanity. This result was a stark contrast to the deeds of past heroes who had at most organized troops to barely defeat the Demon King alone. I was guaranteed to get an S-grade for achievement and reputation.
?Troubled: The demons do not matter.
Professor Morals! Thats the main point, though?!
?Sigh: Student Kang Han Soo. Was the cute and pure princess not to your liking? Even if you cannot walk your way to attain love, you must crawl. Although a somewhat unsavory incident did ur, there was still enough possibility for you to be joined with the princess. They say nothing is more important in love than opportunity
Yes! She wasnt to my liking!
At present, I was strong to the point of not needing to be careful around others. If I had truly favored the princess, I would have already pushed her down to call dibs. Why the hell else would I have given her away? I simply didnt think much of her.
Even those countryside gals in Korea were less boorish than that exalted princess. Still, she had a nice body so one night might have been alright? But the bunch called princesses were quite strict regarding purity and chastity. One wrong move and you could be caught by the nose. That would be troublesome.
?Quiet: Ah, yes. I, I see. I apologize for meddling needlessly
Not at all.
?Encouraging: Hm hm. Now only the result awaits you. This is my final advice to you. If you ept the world as it is, then the world will gently embrace you in return. Please cherish this world a little more. Well then, I pray for your fortune and graduation.
Yes yes. Thank you. So how many points did I get?
?Farewell: Even I cannot tell how your grades will turn out. Scoring is outside the authority of the teaching staff, after all. I taught you for a shorter time than expected, but you did a good job listening to my lectures.
Thank you for your hard work too, Professor Morals!
I looked back on the things that happened in this 2nd ythrough. Combat ability, achievement, reputation, character. Although there were several dangerous situations that urred outside my expectations and ns, because I had prudently handled those cases with swift improvisation, I was confident that Icked not a single thing in those four grading categories.
Lanuvel.
Yes, Sir Hero.
Lanuvel, who was in charge of spreading the news of my deeds far and wide, replied in a nervous tone. Perhaps she had grown on me, but I decided to give her some words of blessing at least since the end was near.
You worked hard during this time too.
Wha whaat?!
Youre a weird chick who blindly flirts with the Hero, but thanks to that I wasnt bored throughout the journey. Meet a bachelor of a rich household who can cope with your spending and give birth to a child that doesnt look like you, and live happily.
It feels like Im being insulted in a roundabout way?! protested Lanuvel.
This girl was noisy even when given some good words.
Youre imagining it. Im going alone from here on. I wont let you off if you end up dead by needlessly peeping in to cheer me on and leave a scar on my record.
Im going to strip you bare and hang you on the wall as decoration if that happens.
Aww Take care, Sir Hero.
Alright.
I slowly walked through the empty corridor. In the 1st ythrough, the Demon Kings castle was full of the flesh and bone of humans and demons, but the current atmosphere was calmthe castles residents had all evacuated. Each and every one of the demons had run away to avoid the poison I dispersed throughout the territory. Only the Demon King was stubbornly defending his throne. It was a truly favorable situation.
Hm~ hng~??
The corridor was like a highway that was as clear as my heartno one stood in my way. A huge sacrifice was made to break through this barrier in the 1st ythrough. The heroes who had gathered from all over Fantasias continents, leaving behind their families, had burned themselves out for the Herosst battle. I had felt a prick to my conscience every time one of them fell.
My weakness is what caused that to happen.
I did have an excuse for it, albeit poor. Those so-calledpanions of mine in the 1st ythrough had constantly interfered in my growth, and caused trouble day in and day out. But oh how they loved to y despite all that If I hadnt had my time unnecessarily taken away back then, I would have grown strong far more quicklyjust like now.
I had shouldered everything by myself. I didnt ask for the life and sacrifice ofplete strangers. There were no widows, no unfilial sons and daughters, nor orphans this time.
Its perfect.
My performance was more excellent in all aspectspared to how I did in the 1st ythrough. While I did feel that mybat ability wascking greatly, it wasnt to the extent that I couldnt defeat the Demon King.
Reputation, achievement, character. There was nothing that was of concern. The natives of this fantasy world were busy praising me even at this moment. It was thanks to Lanuvel, whom I had appointed as my promotional ambassador, diligently delivering news of my feats.
The examination was finished. There was no reason that I wouldnt be able to graduate.
Now well then.
Before me wererge doors which had the same design as they did in the 1st ythrough. Beyond these doors, Demon King Pedonar was waiting for me, the Hero.
I grew excited in my heart once again. I had shortened 10 years journeying and made it here again. I had also yed to the tune of that suspicious bunch called teaching staff for the sake of returning to Earth. I was confident that I had truly done my best.
At this moment, I gave a hard kick at the sole obstacle standing in my way.
Crash-!
Ahem! Dont you know to even knock? A hero without etiquette, I see.
My biggest sponsor, Demon King Pedonar , wasposed even though his subordinates were wiped out. No, it was beyondposure; he was even enjoying himself leisurely. An event which I hadnt witnessed in the 1st ythrough was currently in full swing.
D-, dont stare so hard a naked Elf implored me in a tiny voice.
Perhaps Elf males are ridiculously ipetent? The females of this race were either making hot love with a member of another race or caught by them, sometimes both, on every other asion.
I looked at the Status of the Elf before me and became convinced of it.
?Race: Elf
?Level: 482
?Job: Queen(FavorDevilishness)
?Skills: Charm(S) Devilishness(S) Singing(S) Elementalism(A) Archery(A)
?Status: Pleasured, Embarrassed, Climax
Her Job was Queen. She was without a doubt the Elf Kings wife who was kidnapped by demons; however, I couldnt find a trace of her being restrained or beaten on her body. Her posture of hugging the Demon Kings neck with both arms was also far from being forced. There was no signs of brainwashing or drugs in her Status either. It was a very ordinary rtionship.
Princess Sylvia had said to me My mother was cruelly murdered by the demons! in the 1st ythrough, but it seemed that that was a spection on her part.
The truth was truly cruel indeed.
Ahem hem-!
After tidying his disheveled clothes, the Demon King attempted to turn around the atmosphere as he coughed dryly in an exaggerated manner.
Well, I understand your feelings, Sir Demon King.
I smirked as I responded to his cough in a way only gentlemen could understand. It must be dreary waiting for the Hero toe while sitting all day long on the throne. It was natural for even the Demon King to have one or two hobbies. Hobbies deserved to be respected.
Oh hero of legend. Humanly speaking, arent you too fast?
Demon King Pedonar, who had quietly sent out the Elf queen with a face full of regret, med me with an amazed tone.
What was wrong with being fast? I couldnt tell the Demon Kings real intention.
Im human to begin with, though?
I had merely acted as a human would have done. There is a unique culture in Korea of Earth; inquiring the wellbeing of someones parents when they are being frustrating. This punk, that punk (Note: Specifically, its called ???(roman: paedrip) and literally means immoral(or family) joke. Its a crude way of insulting another by including their family members in a nasty joke. Its generally frowned upon.)
You had to move speedily if you wanted to be a dutiful son or daughter. Doing this much was a given since I had even gone back in time.
Oh Hero. It has only been a month since you were summoned, if I remember.
22 days to be exact.
Why?
Oh Hero! The heroes of past times harbored dreams and hopes with thepanions they shared bitter and sweet times with, and stood before me at the end of their adventure. They had shone with brilliance! But not only do you not havepanions, you are trying to challenge me without even the Holy Sword. Why is that?
What an idiotic question.
The Demon King should already know the answer.
Because I think I can best you even withoutpanions or the Holy Sword, yeah?
?Race: First Demon
?Level: 999+
?Job: Demon King(HeroLevel)
?Skills: Evil Miasma(SSS) Immunity(SS) Swordsmanship(SS) Immortality(SS) Indestructible Body(SS)
?Status: Post Nut Syndrome, Puzzled, Wary
It was truly magnificent when ignoring that retarded Job, that is. He was capable of chewing up all the continents of Fantasia by himself, yet that Job was the only thing holding him back.
He would receive a Level penalty when fighting against a hero. The reduction of Level meant a drop in the effect of all his Skills. No matter how high ranked your Skills, the overall efficiency would fall with a low Level.
That was the reason why the Hero was the hope of humanity. It wasnt possible to defeat Demon King Pedonar with standard tactics. How would you possibly defeat a monster armed with the highest Level in this fantasy world, SSS-rank Evil Miasma and other SS-rank Skills?
There were many strong individuals in Fantasias continents if you searched hard. Like how the terrible Five Disasters existed, there were also numerous powerful guardians who protected humanity. These guardians never meddled in worldly affairs, saving their strength while keeping an eye on nothing else but the activities of Demon King Pedonar like stalkers. They were stronger than I was in my primebut they werent capable of winning against the First Demon.
Haha! Oh Hero, you are truly arrogant!
Laughing wryly and standing up from his throne, Demon King Pedonar taunted me with a beckoning finger.
Was it because I, the Hero, didnt have the Holy Sword? The Demon King didnt draw the Demon Sword hanging by his waist but instead left it as an ornament. It was in to see he was looking down on me.
Then, I wont stand on ceremony.
I drew Elemental Sword Endymion.
Screech-!
A horrifying wail echoed from the swords de as it vibrated. Contained inside it were numerous Heart Elementals that were corrupted by the resentment of those countless demons I ughtered until now. I had a hard time taming them as they were severely defiant.
Oh Hero, what is the name of that Demon Sword? It is my first time witnessing such vigorous energy.
Its Elemental Sword Endymion.
Demon King Pedonar was shocked speechless. Now that was a rewarding sight to see!
My cute partner. Youre ready, right?
Lets show that arrogant and presumptuous Demon King our fantasticbination!
Screech-!

Demon King Pedonar, whose Level had dropped sharply, wasnt my match. I won as easily as twisting the wrist of a young child. Not metaphorically, but literally.
Kugh?!
The Demon King cried out for thest time and toppled downhe was beheaded after just three exchanges of blows since the fight began.
Flop, thud.
A final showdown that was almost too disappointing. The Demon King had panicked, unable to get used to his drastically reduced Level, and fell without even having the chance to even adjust. This was outside my expectations.
Haha! So thats how it was! I see it now. The Demon Kings penalty! It drops his Level to match the Hero!
I could tell after having fought him twice.
If the Hero was Level 1, then the Demon King would also be Level 1.
If the Hero was Level 30, the Demon King would also be Level 30.
If the Hero was Level 5000, the Demon King would also be Level 5000.
What a spectacr Job penalty it was.
This was the reason. Why the Demon King had helped me grow stronger against his willpossessing numerous Skills of high rank, the Demon King would hold a greater advantage in proportion to how high the Heros Level became, while the opposite would put him at a huge disadvantage.
Peh! I suffered like a dog for nothing. What a trashy adventure, really
?Sir Hero. Was the adventure enjoyable?
Yes! It was an extremely rewarding adventure! Ill continue working hard even after returning to Earth!
?The path of a genuine hero is truly difficult, but you met countless people who became encouragement for you who did not lose your hopes and dreams. From them you learned friendship and love, and after maturing together with them you defeated the wicked Demon King atst. Congrattions truly!
It was the same speech given in the 1st ythrough. Although I wanted to point out that the speaker was too insincere, I silently waited for the result as that might end up losing me marks.
And finally
?Shall we look at your grading now?
This was the moment of truth.
Come on, pleeease!

Wee, Sir Hero!
The lovely voice of Lanuvel who couldnt read the mood provoked my ears. Seeing her putting up a cute front again with that grating expression and tone which Id taken pains to fix, it sunk in that I had gone back in time again.
Is this 3rd ythrough for real
I truly hadnt seen thising. The protagonist of a fantasy novel or movie who failed in life would only be given one more chance and that would be the end, and yet I got to regress 2 times despite my clear sess in life having killed the Demon King. What kind of crappy rice-cake of a sweet potato development was this? If this was written into a novel, it would 100% get dissed by the readers and go up in mes.
Excuse me, Sir Hero? Have youe to your senses?
No.
I felt as if I would copse from high blood pressure.
Is, is that so! Sir Hero, pleasee to your senses soon! Youre very confused at being summoned abruptly without even a warning, arent you? This is Fantasia. A different dimension from the world where Hero-nim was born and raised in. It must be unreasonable to hope for you to immediately understand. Ill start exining things one by one from now.
I was hearing the same exnation for the 3rd time from Lanuvel. What bullsh*t was she spouting before the great hero who cracked Demon King Pedonars skull once, sent his neck flying once and returned
Oh my! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lanuvel. I am the archaeologist who received a prophecy in the middle of a journey of chasing the ancient legends, and summoned Hero-nim. Lanuvel means the truth in ancientnguage.
I was hearing that goddamned truth self-introduction for the 3rd time as well. Not a single word was out of ce. If I were to start off by killing Lanuvel here, wouldnt this 3rd ythrough, which was proceeding the same as the 2nd ythrough, turn out new? I seriously considered that direction of events.
?Fright: Please hold it in! A single word can spoil a matter, and one person can even stabilize a country. Student Kang Han Soo. Please do not kill an innocentpanion from the start with the purpose of venting or changing the mood!
Ah, Professor Morals. We meet again.
?Consoling: It is truly regrettable. One thing offort, at least, is that Student Kang Han Soo is the first to achieve an SS-grade in any subject. Perhaps it is because you subjugated the Oblivion Dragon King and defeated the Demon King within 22 days? Your name will be recorded in the hall of fame and remain forever! I sincerely congratte you!
Enough of that kind of lip service. My heart is on the verge of being charred ck like a piece of dried filefish left atop a grill all day long.
Excuse me, Sir Hero?
I couldnt begin to even grasp where Id gone wrong in my adventure. I had brought out the best result within the shortest period of time with the least amount of casualties. This wasnt my subjective opinion, but an objective judgement. And yet, the D-grade in reputation I had received in the 1st ythrough had dropped to E in the 2nd. It was an impossible phenomenon.
The only thing I could guess why was the Oblivion Dragon King bus ridehalf of the middle continent being destroyed was likely the reason.
No one knew the truth that I had woken up the Oblivion Dragon King, but it was fact that the half of the middle continent was ruined. A person who could judge the matter rationally would understand, saying, What could someone whos only been the Hero for ten days do, but not those people who had lost their beloved families. They would surely want to resent somebody.
Impletely a neighborhood drum
The job called hero made for a good sandbag. It was the same in the 1st ythroughI had painstaking saved the lives of people, but there werent just few bastards who went insane trying to find their lost belongings and missing family members. There was even a time when I saved a woman who was stripped and about to be raped by a hairy bandit, yet she went on screeching about me taking responsibility for having seen her naked.
The fault would always be turned to the Hero. The Heros reputation had been falling from the moment I couldnt y the Oblivion Dragon King when it awoke and civilian casualties urred. It was the height of irrationality and absurdity.
Excuse me, Sir Hero? His Majesty is waiting
Shut your trap for a bit.
Aww
I gently pressed on my temples after silencing Lanuvel. I wasnt in the mood to humor the Dumpling King right now, but these people didnt care for something like the Heros mood.
nk.
One pce knight who had been watching stepped forward. This part was turning out the same as in the 2nd ythrough too.
Sir Hero. I understand that you are confused, but we have dyed too much. His Majesty is waiting. Let us go now.
How did I reply back then? Ah!
Im also waiting.
What?
Blockhead, listen well. How many heroes are there in this world who can y the Demon King?
Two, the pce knight replied without having to think much.
Just as he said, there were two Two?!
Excuse me, how do you do? Ive been calling out to you from a while ago but you didnt reply I lived in Seoul, Korea, and Im a high schooler. Im 17 years old, and my hobbies are gaming and reading.
A fresh-looking youth spoke to me. He was wearing a crap-colored school uniform different from mine. His ordinary egg-shaped face had no noticeable features aside from his ck, horn-rimmed sses, and his small build andck of muscles suggested that he wasnt particrly fond of exercising in his daily life.
But I couldnt tear my eyes away from him.
It was because of the pure-white nun costume-wearing character drawn on the case of the smartphone half poking out from the male students uniform pocket. Beneath the characters skirt, which was open at the sides of her thighs, was a ck fis stocking and garter belt. She was a beauty d in an outfit whichbined the divine and the immoral.
It was just for a single moment, but I felt a sense of longing. The characters upation was a Saintess. That smartphone case was a character item modeled after the female protagonist of a role-ying game I had briefly enjoyed in the past.
Ha, haha This is a small hobby of mine.
I see.
It was an excessively bold essory to be called a small hobby. I could tell clearly that he wasnt an ordinary fellow unlike his looks, at least. As for his Status, well
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Interpretation(A)
?Status: Expectant, Hopeful, Excited
It was all normal and only his condition slightly abnormal. It seemed like he was more thanposed and was even weing this situation despite having been abducted to god knows where by suspicious people in medieval attire. Was he misunderstanding the situation for a hidden camera prank?
May I have your name?
Ahh, right. Look at me being out of it. Kang Han Soo. I live in Korea
nk!
A pce knight made his armor give off a grating sound of metal as if hinting at something. I was feeling better at having met someone from home, but I swept a nce around me and frowned at the interruptionthis situation wasnt to my liking at all.
Let us go quickly. The pce knight spoke in a low tone, fixing a hard threatening stare on me.
I was about to take out the 0.3mm mechanical pencil in my uniform pocket, but stopped. It was too risky to show attitude like I did in the 2nd ythrough.
There were two heroes; my rarity had greatly fallen. This fantasy world wouldnt be ruined even if the uncooperative Hero A was killed and Hero B was recruited.
Still, there was hope yet. If we heroes mutually assisted each other and dragged the king to the a table of negotiation
Yes! Sir Knight! You hurry too, Mr. Kang Han Soo! A mission to defeat the Demon King and save a fantasy world! Wow! Im looking forward to it already!
Hero B, who was having the time of it by himself, urged Hero A. Not only was Hero B not going to cooperate as fellow heroes, he was fully intent on working with his neck on the line free of charge for these barbarians.
Hero A felt the onset of a headache.
Now now, first calm down and
It should be hard for fantasy world natives to pronounce Korean names, so please call me Sieg. How about you make a new name for yourself as well, Mr. Kang Han Soo? Ah! You cant use Sieg though. I took it first.
His speed of adjusting to this world was mad.
Hero Sieg. I could easily guess where he picked up that name fromthe protagonist of the same game the Saintess drawn on his smartphone case belonged to was called Sieg. In the main story, Sieg wouldter marry the Saintess.
I could feel this fellows desire in its entirety.
Look here.
Its Sieg.
Right, Sieg. Dont you want to see your parents? Your friends? Wont they all be worried about you?
Not really. Its fine?
I should have realized it when he threw away the precious name given by his parents for a worthless reason.
This guy was definitely a social reject.
Mr. Kang Han Soo. Dont worry.
About what? I asked Sieg, genuinely curious. What could I be worried about when just not too long ago I returned from taking Demon King Pedonars neck?
I will protect you.
Haah?
This punk, was he for real?
I rubbed the back of my neck as I tried to calm my stress. The joy Id felt towards a fellow hometown person had already disappeared to nothingness. Just where had the teaching staff picked up this kind of unfilial bastard
?Content: He is a hero candidate carefully selected for the lost student Kang Han Soo. A surprising ability to adapt despite not having even undergone a regression, yes?
Professor Morals. Its beyond surprise and at the level of cultural shock.
Sieg was currently vacantly staring at the healthy buttocks of Lanuvel who was walking briskly in the lead, seeming utterly unaware that he was kidnapped.
Could I have been the same as him in the 1st ythrough? If so, I would seriously want to consider suicide.
?Praise: Student Kang Han Soo is an acknowledged hard worker even among the teaching staff. We have judged that you are fully capable of graduating as long as you have a friend who will properly direct your efforts. It is said that people are strongly influenced by their environment. I pray that you will take after your friend and be reborn as a wonderful hero!
I understood the intention very clearly. I wanted to flip out in my heart, but
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) F
?Status: Irritated
Nothing at all could be done about the Status reset that came with the regression.
Wobble-Wobble~~
Although the situation wasnt despairing because I remembered Master Mongs teachings, but as one human being, it was tiring to be told to start from the beginning again.
In any case
Just what exactly is this ck-Box Mm? Ohoh?
Mr. Kang Han Soo, is there some problem? ck-Box? asked Sieg. Rather than being genuinely worried about me, he had merely needed an excuse to escape the embarrassment of his eyes meeting Lanuvels while he was staring at her behind.
No. Its nothing.
Not a single thing had changed. My 2nd ythrough hadnt been meaningless.
I hadnt forgotten.
*
*

Perhaps it was thanks to Sieg who was cooperative towards those kidnappers? Unlike the 2nd ythrough, Alexs test of courage event didnt happen in this 3rd ythrough. Matters progressed smoothly following the kidnappers intention.
We learnt etiquette at the entrance of the kings audience chamber. The old noble who was teaching us was shocked at my perfect disy of the kingdoms etiquette, but he didnt drag on the time with nonsense like in the 2nd ythroughit was because of Siegs clownish attempts at decorum. Thanks to that, I wasnt bored either.
Creeak-
The firmly shut doors to the audience chamber opened.
Heroes! I wee your arrival in mynds!
The Dumpling Kingsplexion had regained its brightness along with time being rewinded. To think in the 2nd ythrough, his face had turned blue like a rotten dumpling after the execution of his wife and two sons.
Hello! Your Kingliness!
Phf.
Pfft!
Siegsmentable greeting caused irrepressibleughter to burst out among those present. I didnt ridicule the fellow, however; anyone would make mistakes at first. I was the same in the 1st ythrough too. Nevertheless, I had no intention of lowering myself to his level.
Thank you for the warm wee, Your Majesty.
Huh!
Ohh!
The nobles eximed in admiration when I had my turn.
I calmly disregarded theirpliments. It was enough even with the 2nd ythrough, but this was my 3rd time. My 3rd time going over etiquette as well. I wouldnt be a normal person if I couldnt do it.
Heroes. Are you able to see your abilities? the Dumpling King asked with an expectant tone.
Sieg replied first.
Yes! My race is Arch-Human, Job is Hero. Special perk is fivefold EXP. Skill is Interpretation(A). My status is extremely good!
I can see it very clearly.
I could see it almost too clearly. It was a bit difficult because I had too many Skills, though.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Battle Spirit(SSS) Evil Miasma(SS) Resistance(SS) Chaos(SS) Deadly Venom(SS)
?Status: Reverting
ck-Boxs F-rank effect had activated. My body that was covered in uniform rejected oblivion and returned to how it was in the past. The Evil Miasma(SS) I had obtained immediately after defeating Demon King Pedonar was proof.
I was about to start the 3rd ythrough.
In the state I was in right after ying Pedonar.
My prime state in the 2nd ythrough!
Its a pity my level wasnt recovered.
I didnt worry that much about Level, howeverthere were plenty of EXP nearby, werent there?
Sieg! And Kkang Han Ssoo? Oh Chosen Heroes! Danger is upon this country which lies near the territory of demons! I beseech you to y the demons, raise your abilities, and defeat Demon King Pedonar!
The beaming Dumpling King requested us to work for nothing, and enraged at this, we
Yes! Your Kingliness! Leave it to us!
Sieg replied vigorously in the affirmative without even asking for my opinion. He even dragged me into it in a natural manner.
Screw being fellow countrymen, should I just kill him?
But it was with sage-like understanding that I firmly endured. Professor Morals had said I could easily graduate so long as I followed around this extraordinary fellow, after all. I wasnt so foolish as to rip apart a graduation certificate that was waiting for me.
After taking in a deep breath, I curved my lips into a refreshing smile and yed along to Siegs tune.
Yes, Your Majesty. Entrust everything to us and rest easy.
Forever.
I was done preparing.
?Panicked: Student Kang Han Soo, just what are you?

**Warning: Somewhere near the end of chapter there will be something about math equations. Its best to close your eyes and move on.
I was in a different ss despite being Level 1my Skills had beenpletely preserved with the ck-Boxs power. Thanks to that, the range of choices I could take had widened greatly.
What to do? It was like, while in the middle of choosing between vani and chocte vor, I was introduced to an ice cream shop with 32 vors. I began to feel a dilemma in making a choice.
?Regret: They say promises are pitfalls for the foolish I previously promised that I would notment on Student Kang Han Soos development, but how? How has your Skills remained despite regressing?
Professor Morals. Im the student who received an SS-grade. A veteran of a different leaguepared to a timid greenhorn hero who peeks at Lanuvels behind. Its already my second time just regressing! My 3rd ythrough! Wouldnt I be a retard if I wasnt extraordinary despite this?
?Perplexed: I, I do not know. How could such a thing
Professor Morals left, muttering incoherently to himself. Apparently the teaching staff thought the mosaic Skill would also disappear if I regressed again; however, ck-Box had survived. Survived the tyranny of the arbitrary Fantasy God.
Heheh!
The moment I left the audience chamber, Iughed holding my belly for a long while. It felt like a part of the stress piled up from the 2nd ythrough was being released.
Mr. Kang Han Soo. Did something amusing happen or? asked Sieg after seeing off Lanuvel with a regretful face.
Ah! Was I being too obvious?
Its just, this fantasy situation is too outrageous. And Sieg, call me casually without being shy, as Han Soo. Were preciouspanions dreaming of returning to beautiful Earth where cultured folk live, after all.
He was an important friend who would allow me to embrace my graduation certificate,cking in no way as apanion.
Hm hm! R-, right. Companions! Then Ill speak casually, Han Soo! But returning to Earth? Im not going to, though.
What-?!
Keh-keh?! Let go and talk! I, I cant breathe!
You wont take down the Demon King?!
This punk would be utterly useless in that case. It was bad enough I was pissed at the failed negotiation due to there being two heroes.
Ill still go after the Demon King!
Is that right?
I released my grip on the spot between Siegs 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae which Id been holding as if by reflex. He copsed to the ground, shedding a tear.
Cough-cough! Youre strong, Han Soo.
Well thats because
We were both Level 1 heroes, but the gap in our respective strengths was extremelyrge likeparing an anchovy to a cachalot. And that wasnt all to itthis disparity in power would not lessen, but only grow further in higher Levels.
Youre amazing even though youre Level 1 and only have the Skill Interpretation(A) like me.
Mm?
What was this guy saying? Could this be
Seeing how youve got a good build too, you must have exercised hard on Earth.
A bit.
Heroes could see the Status of others as they liked, and fellow heroes were no exception; however, Sieg was spouting nonsense despite having seen my Status. My only Skill was Interpretation(A)?
?Race: Chaos Human

?Status: Bewildered
He couldnt see this?
It seemed that Sieg didnt even know of ck-Boxs existence. I changed the subject to hide my puzzlement.
Look here, Sieg. Why are you going to defeat the Demon King if you have no intention of returning to Earth? For what purpose?
Because they say the Demon Kings resurrection has put this world in danger! answered Sieg without hesitation, clenching his fists hard.
Hmm is that so.
I took it as that he had no mind to returned to the home he was born and raised on, but would fight to protect this fantasy world where he would live in from now on. I decided to respect Siegs dream.
As long as he took down the Demon King with me! Then it wasnt of my concern whether he refused graduation and kept remaining in ss or took a leave of absence.
We came to an agreement to meet again after 5 days, at Alexs exciting orientation.
Sieg wanted to go outside the pce and freely tour this fantasy world, but I had lived over 10 years in this ce; I was no different from a local instead of a tourist, and thus I refused to apany him. What was the point of two grown males going around together like partners?
Sir Hero~ Where are you going~?
Lanuvel?
Yes! Im Lanuvel!
Put down that cute ac Anyway, I wasnt making sure of your name. I was asking why youre here. Arent you supposed to be chasing after Sieg?
I had treated Lanuvel harshly ever since I was summoned, while in contrast Sieg was amiable towards her. She didnt have any other options up to the 2nd ythrough, as there was only one hero, but there were two as of present. Companion No.1 could choose the hero she would adventure with. It wasnt even necessary topare which hero she wanted to take care of more, and yet
Why would I do that?
Lanuvel tilted her head to the side, acting cute.
What about Sieg?
I wouldnt know.
Lanuvel. Hes a hero too.
Although Sieg did behave rudely by openly staring at the buttocks of ady, the Lanuvel I knew was carefree and was very tolerant in that aspect. What, then, could be the reason? This Lanuvel who was loafing about before me had no memories of the 2nd ythrough. She could even be called a different person entirely. We had not had any prior contact; we were strangers meeting for the first time today. However, she was standing before me.
Just why?
Im an archaeologist chasing after legends.
So?
Ive researched the lives and achievements of past heroes who were summoned into this continent of Fantasia. Those heroes shared numerousmon points, but something about Sir Hero Han Ssoo is different, while Sieg was the spitting image of a hero I expected.
I could understand all too painfully well what Lanuvel was trying to say. It had to be why I couldnt graduate and ended up on my 3rd ythrough, a third-time student!
However
What does that have to do with you following me like a puppy?
Umm because I find you novel?
Scram!
Ah! Dont be like that and lets go together, Sir Hero!
I ignored Lanuvel and continued walking. My destination was the queens vi; avish wooden building constructed at the heart of a small forest, which strictly prohibited the entry ofmon folk due to it being a hunting ground exclusive to royalty.
Although it was an open secret I found out in the 1st ythrough, the vi was designed by order of the Dumpling King due to his penchant for exciting outdoor action. He had initially gone in and out of the forest almost daily with the queen, but as their two sons and daughter grew up, it became difficult to hold those thrilling rendezvous. As a result, the king gave up and gave the resting area to the queen as a gift of nostalgia; however, because the entry prohibition remained in effect and the area became very much closed off
In the end, it was abused as a secret meeting ce.
There are guard dogs as I expected.
5 doggies guarding the vi. They were trained to unconditionally bark if anyone aside from the trainer, maids, or the queen approached.
Excuse me, Sir Hero? This is a restricted area.
Go back if you dont like it. By yourself.
Aww
Lips pouting like a goldfish, Lanuvel didnt natter any further and instead merely observed me with an interested gaze. I ignored her and checked the direction of the wind, then exhaled.
Huuu~~
As a mere Level 1, it would be difficult for me to simultaneously deal with those 5 guard dogs quietly; however, it would be an entirely different story if a high-rank Skill was included in the equationSS-rank Deadly Venom, also known as Heros Breath! Taking care of house guard dogs was easy as pie.
There was an instant response.
Arf-?!
Au-au~?!
2 guard dogs in the middle of patrolling were poisoned and died immediately. The remaining 3 dogs ran over upon hearing their death throes and suffered the same fate.
With this, all of the guard dogs were dealt with.
Lanuvel. Follow me.
Since she hade along anyway, I decided to use her as insurance.
Yes? Yes!
While Lanuvel openly stared at me with round eyes, I broke the lock on the vis entrance and quietly snuck in.
I didnt worry about being caught by the queen, as I had seen her at the kings audience chamber a while ago. It was extremely unlikely that she would head straight over to the vi, raising her husbands suspicion. She would likely have afortable meal with her family since they had all gathered and then make her way over here slowly, ore here around tomorrow dawn or morning.
There was only one person watching the vi.
?Race: Human
?Level: 34
?Job: Maid(OwnerCharm)
?Skills: Charm(C) Chores(D) Evil Miasma(E) Constitution(F)
?Status: Rxed, Resting
The queens personal maid. She spent all her days in the vi and took care of all the housework alone. One might think the workload too severe for a delicate female, but an individual at Level 5 possessed the stamina of an athlete on EarthLevel 34 equaled the ability to really fly around like a Hong Kong movie actor.
She even has Evil Miasma. Oh? Its E-rank.
This maid was far stronger than the usual Level 34 individual because she borrowed the power of the demon she contracted. She was just so-so to me, though.
The moment the maid showed her back to me, still unaware of the intruders presence, I leaped as lightly as a feather.
I didnt make any sounds of footsteps or leave any traces of my movement, because my assassin-type Skills were at least A-rank and adding to that, my basic Skills which had achieved SS-rank caused a synergistic effect. It was with thisbination that I killed even the Elf King in the 2nd ythrough. A maid was really nothing at all. Although it would have been good if I could quietly deal with her using poison like with the guard dogs, I chose the certain method as, no matter how superior the Skill, it was simply too precarious at Level 1.
Crack.
I struck the Level 34 maids slender neck with the back of my hand, not giving her even the chance to resist. My abilities already far surpassed that of someone at Level 1, but this was but the beginning.
Level 1Level 12
Following the rise of my Level with the EXP obtained from killing the maid, the efficiency of all my Skills rose slightly. Normally, this would be the end of it, but I had so many high-rank Skills that mybat ability surged to the extent that it couldnt be measured simply by several multiples.
Lets use a math equation like an educated person!
Sieg: Level 1, Interpretation(A)
(9+1)*(10+6)=160
Maid: Level 34, Charm(C) Chores(D) Evil Miasma(E) Constitution(F)
(9+34)*(10+4+3+2+1)=860
Me: Level 1, Alot of Skills At Any Rate
(9+1)*(10+9+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+1)=???
Combat ability isnt actually calcted like this. Livelihood-assistance Skills such as Siegs Interpretation(A), the maids Charm(C) and Chores(D) had to be excluded, while the synergistic effect of simr skills acted as a variable, and the values of Skill ranks werent exact like in aputer game. It was merely an example that showed it was something like this.
Very nice.
It felt like ying a role-ying game on a GMs ount.
Uh, Sir Hero? You are Level 1, right?
No. Level 12 now.
Lanuvel rolled her eyes, at a loss. She wasnt capable of seeing the Status of others, but she had identified the ck energy seeping out from the body of the maid who had died with her neck twisted in an abnormal directionthe power of a demon, Evil Miasma. She seemed surprised that a Level 1 Hero had managed to kill the maid despite this fact.
I decided to take the initiative before she asked anything.
Lanuvel, if youre going to keep following, then shut it. Dont ask.
Aww okay.
There were magic circle traps set up in various ces inside the vi; however, the remarkable genius magician Lanuvel naturally didnt fall for them, while I treated them like air since I had SS-rank Immunity and Tolerance.
Our destination was decided from the beginning.
Click.
I opened the lock of a purple closet and went straight along the secret passage within. My goal was the demon worshipers meeting cethe cultist leader was in the middle of holding a speech.
Hi?
I feigned acquaintance first.
Who, who are you?! How did you enter?!
I activated Evil Miasma(SS) at the cultist leaders question. That in itself was answer enough.
?Race: Demon
?Level: 194
?Job: Magician(AgeMagic Power)
?Skills: Evil Miasma(B) Magic(C) Magic Power(D) Transformation(D) Preaching(E)

The demon who had transformed into a human cultist leader trembled all over the moment he felt my SS-rank Evil Miasma. It made for a good ID card.
Listen up, B-rank. Im taking over here from today on. Youll deal with the bothersome management, Ill give out the easy orders. Got a problem with that?
I, I do not! Oh great demon archduke!
The B-rank demon prostrated himself as if in submission.
Oh great one!
Oh great one!
The demon worshipers who had been standing nkly also caught on and followed the cultist leader in prostrating before me, one after another.
Uh, Sir Hero?
Hey. Get a clue and zip it, will you.
After silencing Lanuvel, I stood before the B-rank demon and his worshipers, and began to give a speech.
The key point was to speak in a lowered voice.
All of you listen! You maggot-like followers! We will rule this kingdom from within the darkness of chaos. To take the first step to that end, Ill exin in detail what you lot will have to do.
Ooh!
Oooh!
There was something Id realized while observing Sieg in the audience chamber, and it was your reputation would rise in leaps if you worked for free. Therefore, as a seasoned hero on his 3rd ythrough, I decided tobor for no cost with a magnanimous heart, so that the Dumpling King could rest easy.
Im taking over this kingdom.

This kingdom was a yground for the B-rank demon and its worshipers before I was summoned as a hero, but they were easy to copse. The cult would immediately fall like dominoes as long as the B-rank demon which provided Evil Miasma to its ardently loyal worshipers was taken out, and so I tried taking the opposite approach.
I forced the B-rank demon into submission, and the demon worshipers came with it as an added bonus. I had obtained a toy that was the kingdom in but moments, and even this private conversation which was taking ce somewhere in the royal pce was one of the results following what I did.
The queen goes bark.
Oh my beloved. I think we must aid Sir Hero by providing funds for his activities.
And the kings response?
Activity funds? Why put money towards such a useless
I beseech you.
As the kingdoms number one beauty hugged the kings forearm and begged him, his expression eased in an instant. The change wasnt simply because he was in a good moodhis eyes were ck as if hypnotized.
The king replied in an even voice.
It cant be helped if my queen says that much.
And Your Majesty, he is not a useless hero, but a great individual whom we must hold in high esteem. Please bear this in mind.
I understand.
Having finished her business with her potbellied husband, the queen sent me a wink.

The B-rank demons joker card was none other than the queen of this country. She was the demon worshiper who needed to be watched the most.
I had enhanced the Evil Miasma of this joker card. Following the rise of her Evil Miasma from E-rank to C-rank, her Devilishness which was deeply rted to the former also rose from D-rank to B-rank. Devilishness was the power to bewitch the opposite sex.
The Dumpling King handed over to me a bag of money like he did in the 2nd ythrough. He did so peacefully, neither of us fighting with flushed faces. There would be no problems in my character grading with this. It was proof that I had grownpared to how I was in the 2nd ythrough.
Ill use it well, Your Majesty.
It is my humble joy to be of help to you, great hero. Please tell me whenever you need more.
Ill do that. Beautiful queen? I hope that your beauty will be unfading and longsting in the days toe.
The queens dream had already been achievedher Evil Miasma had risen from E-rank to C-rank with my help. She had be more bewitching and lustful than before.
Hehe! To be of help to Sir Hero is my very joy. I wish to treat you to some tea in my viter on.
It likely wouldnt end at some tea.
When theres time, Your Majesty.
I took my leave after bidding the Dumpling King farewell.
Although there was also the method of collecting money from the demon worshipers, I couldnty a hand on the money they had obtained through illegal means: drugs, human trafficking, murder, ckmail, loansharking My character grading would only go down if I were to use money earned through all kinds of vile deeds, and that was why I returned all of it to the popce. In exchange, I legally received activity funds from the king.
Rattle!
The sound of the money bag full of gold coins was truly pleasing to my ear. Perhaps it was all the more satisfying since it was a service received after working hard.
This money wasnt sry paid to meI was still doing volunteer work. The difference was extremely big.
Sir Hero-! Sir Hero Hans Ssoo-!
I saw a pce knight running towards me in a straight line from the other side of the pce. He didnt look like he was intending on picking a fight.
Hmm. Has something happened again?
Alexs exciting orientation had been postponed due to the big and small scandals that popped up in the wake of my controlling the demon cultists topletely take over the kingdomthe queen, a demon worshiper, and the king, a puppet. Even below them, among the influential families and nobles, some were demon worshipers or rted to them in one way or another. A one-party dictatorship, perhaps it should be called.
Sir Hero Hanssoo! Please help! Trouble broke out between Sir Hero Sieg and a noble, but they simply wont talk it out.
Not the pce knights including Alex, though. They werent so easy as to be beguiled by Evil Miasma; however, considering that they absolutely obeyed the orders of the one king they swore loyalty to, they were puppets of a puppet.
Sieg, you say?
What nonsense was this?
I decided to go to the scene of trouble.
*
*
*
The nobles of this barbaric world, where feudalism and hierarchy was prevalent, were no different from living grenades. If they became upset because of amoner or ve, they would pin some truly ridiculous crime and either beat them or send them to jail. And those nobles still wouldnt be punished
Unless theymitted murder, that isthere were frequent cases of nobles intentionally killingmoners and ves, aiming for EXP. That was why murder was the one thing strictly watched out for in all countries. Yes, murder only.
It was truly everything goes apart from apart from murder. The fact was that the country was also aware of the tyranny and atrocitiesmitted by the nobles and some of the royals, but turned a blind eye as the loss would be greater if the matter escted into a political problem. Those governing the country were nobles, to begin withit was impossible for nobles to establish thew in a way disadvantageous towards nobles.
However, there was always bound to be that meddlesome guy overflowing with justice. Hot-blooded, were they called?
I saw it clearly! That pig grabbing thedys hand and dragging her away by force!
Sieg was in the middle of quarreling with a pce knight.
Sir Hero Sieg, please look well and calmly. How did it seem forced? Thisdy was following the lord baron because she truly likes him. Didnt you even ask her directly because you insisted on disbelieving?
The pce knight tried to persuade Sieg in a weary tone, but it didnt have any effect.
She must have been threatened to say that! Isnt it obvious? Because shed get payback if she exposed the truth. What do you mean she started dating that pig from yesterday? Its suspicious just hearing it.
Haah
The mediating pce knight heaved a deep sigh. Behind him, the noble who was being continuously insulted as a pig by Sieg was shaking hard as if suppressing his anger.
Just what wrong did I do to suffer such insult
Im really sorry this happened because of me, lord baron.
The pretty miss hugging the thick forearm of the baron was fretful, at a loss as to what to do.
Ive roughly grasped the situation.
I was also familiar with the chubby baron who had been continuously insulted as a pig by a hero from a while ago. He didnt know me, but I knew him

because he was an F-rank demon worshiper.
He was the legitimate heir of a counts family. Unable to restrain his appetite due to the stress brought on by the lessons of an heir in a wealthy family, he was struck by severe obesity and various otherplications all at once: diabetes, hyperlipidemia, arthritis, gallstones, cancer Even fantasy magic wasnt omnipotent.
The baron who fell ill turned to Evil Miasmait was the start of a tragedy. The baron, whose nature grew violent by the B-rank demons wicked designs,mitted all kinds of vile deeds and drew public criticism: assault, rape, abusing power, arson until he received judgement by the hero. Thats how it went in the 1st ythrough.
Sieg. What are you doing here? I first asked Sieg, pretending to not know the baron.
Ah! Hansoo! You say something too. I clearly saw this pig molesting thatdy, but he keeps on denying it.
What about proof?
I have it! You can see it too, right? This pig has the Skill Evil Miasma(F)! It means hes a demon worshiper!
I gently pressed on my throbbing temples. What was he saying in front of my Evil Miasma(SS)?
Sieg. Possessing Evil Miasma doesnt necessarily make someone a demon worshiper. Evil Miasma is permanently formed in ones body upon consuming the heart of a demon, and there are other ways as well be it through training or elixirs. The methods to obtaining Evil Miasma are various.
That didnt mean Evil Miasma was a good thing, however; Evil Miasma not controlled by a demon would run amok. It would change the personality of its host to be like a low-ss demon: cruel, arrogant, insolent, obsessive, obscene, greedy, violent yet despite this, many wouldy their hands on this power.
That pig is a demon worshiper.
Sieg began to be persistent. No, this guys words were right. Although the baron hadntmitted any wrongs yet, he was a demon worshiper without a doubt. This was definitely true, but
This wasnt the moment to support himthe gazes of the onlookers were extremely ugly.
using the kind lord baron as a demon worshiper
His Lordship, a pig? Hes a regr patron of our restaurant!
That persons a hero of legend? Haha! Its the end of the world.
The youngdy who was the cause of all this put a full stop to the matter.
My father, a restaurant owner, twisted his foot and ended up spilling food over Lord barons head and clothes. What a shocking moment that was but what came next was even more surprising. His Lordship said it was fine and forgave my father. I felt so grateful about it that I stuck to His Lordship from yesterday. Im really sorry! My Lord, if it wasnt for me sob!
He was in trouble now.
He had made a woman cry.
He had reached the point where public opinion couldnt be turned around.
p!
The pce knight heavily ced his gloved hand on Siegs shoulder, saying, Sir Hero Sieg. Is there still something you have left to say?
If not, then let us return. Well promise an adequate apology andpensation for His Lordship Baron, so you dont need to worry about that.
I, I
You two, politely escort Sir Hero Sieg to the royal pce.
Sieg was dragged off by two apprentice knights like a criminal.
Really now
As I looked at the receding figure of mypanion, leaving the scene in a pitiful manner like a defeated dog, my thoughts becameplicated like a tangled ball of yarn.
Was that punk really capable of letting me graduate?
*
*
*
Sieg recovered his vigor in but moments, as if I had been anxious for nothing. Although I didnt have a hobby of observing the private life of a man, I was helpless as Professor Morals had told me to learn from this guy. Dont they say when in Rome, do as Romans do?
The very first thing Sieg would do upon waking up was to wash. Despite that it would befortable to leave the cleaning of his body to the carefully selected maids of the kingdom, he would wash himself with the obvious demeanor of a cherry boy.
After that he would go poking his nose in around the kingdoms capital. His first reaction upon seeing someone in plight was to rush in and, without even checking the truth of the situation, he would run errands or help with work for free. The individuals he helped were mainly female. Sieg was an omnivore who didnt care for race nor age. Perhaps this showed he too was a male?
Master. Do you have any other orders for me?
The beautiful woman who was calling me master in a pleasant tone and natural manner was the mother of this country, the queen. The identity and status of those drunk on a demons power were meaningless; their minds would be controlled by the drug-like addiction to the power. This was why demon worshipers were dangerous.
I shook my head at the queen.
No. Keep observing Sieg like now and report to me.
I understand.
Go.
Yes. Call me whenever. Even at night.
The queen turned around and took her leave with confident footsteps, her hips swaying left and right as if to seduce me. I rested my chin on the frame of the window, looking outside from within the pce.
Hey! Stay right there!
Meow~!
I saw Sieg in the middle of ying tag with a baby kitten. As there were no real incidents of note, he was wasting his time doing things like finding the lost pet of Kid A, and this was only to be expected too.
This kingdom which had fallen into my hands was extremely peaceful, just like the calm before a storm. And that wasnt allI was in the midst of mobilizing all the demon worshipers active in the kingdom to raise my reputation bit by bit, and was promoting an anti-royalty sentiment in the public. All so that the Dumpling King could rest for eternity.
As for Sylvia, shes nothing to be concerned over.
The future Elf Queen who carried out a raid on the ck market was captured alive as predicted. Unless a hero buys her when she is put up for auction ten dayster in the ck market, she would be sold to a perverted noble. I was, naturally, not going to go, and Sieg who didnt know the promised code which was recognized in the Dark Commerce wouldnt even be able to enter the ck market. I had already closed off the shortcut I used in the 1st ythrough.
Sylvia would naturally be out of the game. With this, even Professor Morals wouldnt be able to say anything.
And as for what remained?
Alex.
The future Sword King. He had dropped out a little early by my hand, because he was neither useful, nor to my liking. In this 3rd ythrough, however, I left him in one piece for the time being as I had discovered Alexs use.
?Greatly Pleased: So you finally acknowledge the worth of apanion?
Of course, Professor Morals. Didnt they say even dog sh*t was used in medicine? (Grin).
*
*
*
As the kingdom, which had been in disorder due to the demon worshipers movements, became stabilized, Alex also returned to the royal pce from his outing. And then that day arrived.
Haha! Heroes, wee to the royal pce training grounds! Looking at your skins so unmarred like a pansys, it seems youve never received proper training before. But worry not. The number one sword of the kingdom is going to raise you into an excellent Hero! And in no time at that.
Alexs heart-racing orientation had begun.
Ill give it my all! Instructor Alex!
Same here.
Sieg was brimming with motivation. After casually echoing Sieg, I awaited Alexs next words.
But before we begin training, Her Majesty the Queen has speciallye to observe. She seemed to be eagerly looking forward to the two heroes sparring.
Say what?
Well if thats what Her Majesty wishes for then
Cant be helped even if I dont wanna fight with a friend!
Since thats how it is, give your best against each other. By the way, my fist will not forgive any disgraceful behaviour such as surrendering or fleeing before Her Majesty.
Alex moved back after making that threatening remark.
W-, wait Hansoo? Were friends, right?
Sieg anxiously called out my name as he backpedaled.
Come at me already. If Her Majesty wishes for us to spar, then we have to voluntarily do so for the kingdom. Sieg, isnt this what you wanted?
Iguegh?!
Hooheheheh- Ahem! This isnt it.
Im really sorry! My friend!
Although I did see iting, it was extremely agonizing whenever Inded a punch on the lower jaw of Sieg who had spouted crap about doing charity work straight from day one.
Smack! Wham!
Managing the look on my face was deathly tiring.

One, two, one, two~??
This sensation of fist meeting flesh!
This feeling of rhythm that encourages ass to shake left and right!
Siegs screaming so refreshing like cider!
There was no reason to be reserved since this was a fantasy world natives request. I would find the cat lost by Kid A for free, so how could I not listen to a single request of the lovely queen who hade in person.
We were carrying out the duty of a hero right now, and this for free too. I would have started on it a little quicker had I known how enjoyable and rewarding it was.
St, stopkugh?!
Sieg, you should attack all you like, too.
I thrashed Sieg all over his body using my hands and feet. I was really going easy on him. Id have to clear away his corpse if I were the slightest bit serious and so, I handled Sieg as carefully as I would sswaremy reputation points were precious, after all. But even so, I had no thoughts of ending it so simply.
I kept a fine bnce while beating Sieg so that he wouldnt copse. Whenever he looked like he would fall left I would strike at his right side, vice versa.
Uh? Looks like his legs are giving way?
Lunging in, I grabbed Sieg by his hair with my left hand so he couldnt fall down, and then rammed my knee up into his face.
Euaghh-!?
Siegs head flung straight backwards.
Oh? Dear me.
Perhaps I was too unrestrained in my excitementthe bunch of hair Id gripped onto was ripped out, and on Siegs head appeared a bright white bald patch!
He wouldnt die with that only that much, however; I continued with the duel.
Sieg, how long are you going to only defend out of consideration?
Euaagh~
Siegs eyes were unfocused as he howled like an animal. Perhaps his mind was muddled from the slight concussion to his head. It wasnt a problem to be worried about much; I knew from having often experienced it before at Alexs hands.
He could be healed as much as needed by using magic and healing blessings of this fantasy world. When you reached the standard of someone like the Saintess, my 1st ythroughpanion from the Holy Kingdom which neighbored this country I was in, you could raise the dead with a single prayer, just like that. On this aspect, this fantasy world was fantasy indeed.

Siegs Status was being added to one after another in real-time. His condition was also a colorful line-up like a menu at a buffet.
Curiously, he wasnt Level 1. ording to the queens report, Sieg hadnt so much as shown up near the hunting grounds after being taught a lesson by a wild boars tackle, yet he was Level 3. Maybe he had taken out a hundred rats in some storage or stable?
Every creature gave different amounts of EXP. If all creatures gave a fixed amount of EXP equivalent to one Level, then the Level of farmers and fishermen would be unbelievably high.
Sieg, what is with you being Level 3. You should have gone hunting diligently.
The EXP given by ordinary animals and nts was infinitesimal, so much so that it wasnt worth diddly squat even with a Heros fivefold EXP perk; however, Sieg had wondrously raised his Level in a city without monsters in a short period of time. If not rats, then maybe he had killed some petty thieves.
In any case, it was meaningless before me.
Hey? Sieg, look me in the face, will you.
Sieg had lost consciousness after being beaten ck and blue, bloodied all over. His face was as pale as a corpses, bloody froth dripping from his mouth.
Hes in this shape after a mere 3 minutes? God, not like hes instant food or something
I rxed the tension in my hands, and Sieg, who had be like a minced squid seasoned with chilli, copsed to the ground swaying.
Thud.
H-healer! Quickly go to Sir Hero!
Heavens! Lord above!
The rescue team that had been waiting on tenterhooks for the heroes spar to end moved swiftly, putting Sieg on a stretcher and moving him outside the training grounds. Immediately, the effect of magic and blessings was put to disy.
Whiing
As light permeated the injuries all over Siegs body, his wounds closed up at a quick rate. The swelling of his blue bruises disappeared, while new flesh appear to cover his ripped skin. His twisted bones became set to how they were, too. There were some parts that couldnt be fixed right away, howeverthe teeth, and hair. Only these two things required steady treatment.
Ah! And there was one more.
Ahbuh, aeugh
Psychological trauma was also a problem that needed be ovee alone. His recovery would hasten if a Heart Elemental, which could influence the spirit of the living and the dead, were to help, but even among Elves, Shamans who could handle those Elementals were extremely few.
With this, my business with Sieg was finished.
Next was Alex.
Look here, Hero. Cant you even differentiate between sparring and realbat? It looks like youve got a nasty hobby of tormenting the weak, but Ill carve into your body what a truly strong individual is like.
He took long strides towards me, admonishing me as he did.
I couldnt even snort at what he saidwhat? Hobby of tormenting the weak? Did this punk even have a conscience?

?Level: 291
?Job: Swordsman(Stamina=Swordsmanship)
?Skills: Swordsmanship(S) Stamina(A) Iron Wall(B) Tolerance(B) Fortitude(C)
?Status: Entertained
Alexs Status hadnt changed from the start of the 1st ythrough, but even so he couldnt bepletely ignored, the reason being that someone like Alex was very much at a high standard in these peaceful times when war wasnt rampant and people werent at each others throats for EXP. That didnt matter to me, though.
I had properly experienced those war-torn periods. Together with the Oblivion Dragon King I scorched the half of the middle continent in the 2nd ythrough, and massacred the demons including the Demon King Pedonar. I started a war by myself and even grasped hold of victory. EXP, proficiency, I had monopolized these two things to an unmeasurable extent; although, my Level ended up being reset.
Is this deja vu?
I didnt dodge Alexs fist that was aiming for my abdomen, but instead likewise threw a punch at his belly.
You get a hit, I get one too.
Alex responded at this with a ridiculing expression. This guy who had a whopping Level of 291 packed strong power behind his punch without conscience.
Lets get it on, is that it? Oh I wee it.
Smack!
Wham-!
Kugh-?!
I was as sturdy as an iron wall, being stacked with countless Skills, but Alex who wasnt like me clutched at his stomach and fell to his knees. his fist which had struck my abdomen was all bloodied.
Looking up at me, Alexs eyes were asking thishow did you do it?
Thwack!
I had no obligation to answer, and my attack had yet to end; Iunched a forceful kick at the Level 291 Alexs head. It felt even more pleasant than when I was facing the Level 3 Sieg, as I didnt need to adjust my strength as much.
This, this ack?!
Here Ie again.
Was he unable to consider he himself was weak, too? After grabbing hold the short hair of Alex who had fallen into a panic, I whirled him round in circles as if throwing a shot put and hurled him far.
Crash-!
The noise made by Alexsnding was as loud as he was big.
By the likes of a herokugh?!
Call me respectfully with a sir, you trifling small fry.
I targeted the middle of his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae for the finisher. With leap high into the air, I mmed my knee down towards Alexs back like a meteor and gifted him a chronic herniated lumbar disc.
Crack, cr-cr-crack.
Ill be happy if he recalls my face every time his waist hurts.
You bastard! Heuugh?!
Alex, who had shot to his feet burning with rage, hastily clutched at his back and waist with both hands as he toppled down again.
It seemed he had gotten the disc good.
Alex. Your orientation was fun.
It was more enjoyable than the 2nd ythrough!
From that day onward, I was exempted from Alexs training.
*
*
*
Sweltering tropical nights had begun, and the middle continent was in chaos due to a drought.
Even I, who was controlling the kingdom for free, was putting in effort in all aspects to minimize the damage caused by this drought. The difficulty of obtaining food was severe due to theck of water.
Should I start a war or something to cut down the poption?
I was so busy that I didnt even appear near the pce training grounds, but even so I could faintly hear conversations between Alex and Sieg from time to time. It was troubling in its own way when your hearing was too good.
Sieg! Get up right now! Or do you want a knife to your ass? For you, resting is a luxury until you take revenge against that guy!
An-anymore is impoguegh?!
Dont give up! Sieg! You can do it! Dont be afraid ande at me with the resolve to die! Magicians and healers are always on standby!
Aaaagh~~!?
Although I didnt know what kind of high-intensity training they were carrying out, Alexs voice urging on Sieg, who wanted to give up every day, contained sincerity and zeal. His tone wasnt yful like it was in my 1st ythrough.
The rtionship of the two was in to seedelinquent student VS hot-blooded teacher.
I must have seen the sight of Sieg attempting escape during the night, unwilling to receive training, and then being caught by Alex and dragged back about 3 times. Truly not a promising fellow. However, Alex persevered and taught Sieg with passion. He even took on all of Siegs preposterous whining of not wanting to be strong as he guided him from dawn tote at night.
Sieg! Your waist is open again! Come on!
Aagh~!? Ill kill you! Alex! Im gonna kill you!
Bear this in mind. You die when you lose your cool in a fight.
Kurrghuegh?! Kegh-kegh!
A surprising change hade over Alex which I couldnt see in the 1st ythrough. He never got angry no matter how much Sieg cursed him, even though he pummeled me so hard when I swore or opposed him
Siegs change was also dazzling.

He had made no progress in Level since he stayed all day long in the training grounds, but he had made a drastic improvement in his Skill ranks. His colorful status was somewhat worrying, but there would always be a price and side-effect that came with quick growth.
And to be honest, what had to be acknowledged, should be acknowledgedhad Alexs passion proved fruitful, perhaps?In the same amount of time I trained, Siegs rate of growth was far faster than mine in the 1st ythrough.
Truly
I couldnt not acknowledge the irresponsible Professor Morals method of education, tossing me one model student and telling me to learn by myself.
I could tell at a single nceSieg possessed greater talent to be a hero than I did. At that rate, perhaps he could break through the demons great army by himself and even y the Demon King, even though I had taken 10 years to do that.
The truth felt heavy!
?Perplexed: Excuse me, Student Kang Han Soo? What on earth is going on here?
Oh my! Professor Morals! Its truly been a while! As you can see, I was observing the model student.
?Headache: It is said that pouring cold water into a boiling pot does nothing more than killing the heat. The hero candidate I rmended is also still at an immature stage of development. His current shape does not appear normal no matter how I look.
He doesnt? Then I should kill him straight away. He was long suspicious, too.
?Startled: W-wait! One must always listen to the end when someone is speaking. Please calm down and hear me out again! Words unspoken are my ves, whereas words spoken are my master. I was careless. What I was saying is that that hero candidate appears to be having a very hard time.
He does seem to be having a hard time with Alexs one-sided love. Then should I kill Alex?
?Perplexed: Is there no other option aside from killing? I should think you have considered one or two at least.
Of course! Strange though. I definitely had about a hundred ideas until this morning, but I mustve forgotten them at that maids lovely tits. Ill think about it again starting now.
?Suggestion: The weather is extremely hot as of recent. Two men make for a dreary picture, so how about taking a vacation with beautiful women at a ce with good waters?
Professor Morals, Im disappointed. Sieg is still 17, a minor. Although, by fantasyw, its permitted to couple starting from 16 for males and 15 for females.
?Shocked: I was referring to a sea or valley!
Ah, okay.
This was a tricky condition to fulfil. Somewhere with pretty women and water. If this was Earth then I would have directly went to a beach resort, but
Ah!
Rustle.
I took the map at the corner of my office desk and spread it open. Currently, the kingdom was suffering due to the drought, but it wasnt really as if crops couldnt be nted because there was no ce to procure water from.
There was an abundant water source, but it was merely that this water couldnt be used, and the reason why was the vicious race monopolizing the hugeke they resided in.
Mermaids.
All we needed to do was take care of these fishes. The drought would be solved, Sieg Level would also rise, wed getid too, feast on raw fish, kill pastpan In any case, was I a genius, perhaps?
Professor Morals was vehemently against the idea, but Sieg was delighted.
Will this be okay? I heard mermaids absolutely hate their home being intruded
Its fine if you dont want to.
Who said I dont! Hm-hm! Is there a mermaid princess too?
Of course.
I recalled that she looked good, and tasted good, too.
But Han Soo.
What?
Why are we going with so many people?
We werent heading off with a cozy little elite group. My proposal had received the Dumpling Kings support.
I didnt have even a smidgen of thought to go about it like in the 1st ythrough, talking harmony and co-existence with the mermaids and putting up with all kinds of losses and concessions. The kingdom absolutely needed water to nt crops this year, and the mermaids ce of living would be smaller if theke water decreased.
This was a fight for survival. There was no room forpromise here.
Dont worry too much about the distribution of loot. There are about 5 mermaid princesses, but Ill give them all to you.
Im not talking about that, though
The snot-nosed Hero Siegs adventure had begun atst!
With 30,000 reliablepanions in tow.

Conscripted Soldier: 20,000 (Level 3)
The kingdom adjacent to Demon King Pedonars territorybetter known as the Dumpling Kingdomkept knights and soldiers of an average standard throughout Fantasias continents. Whenever the Dumpling Kingmitted a blunder, he would always im ,Our country fails to rise because of the demons! but that was truly unfair thing to the demons who were merely neighbors.
But even so, the Dumpling Kings ims were being epted. The surrounding nations didnt touch this countrythey were leaving it be as the 1st line of defense that would be the very first to be sacrificed andid waste to by the Demon Kings invasion.
Was thispletely a good thing?
Absolutely not. Although it was fine up to the part where their high-quality manpower wouldnt be lost in war, on the flipside, it was hard to raise their Level and Skill ranks without life-riskingpetition. And that was why the quality of the Dumpling Kingdoms military force was just average.
I intended on breaking this bnce this time around.
Ill exin things one by one from now on. The home of the mermaids is a big Level 500 hunting ground. Unlike sea mermaids, the freshwater mermaids well be facing have low Levels and their numbers are few too, so theres no need to worry too much.
Wait! Level 500 is low?
Sieg interrupted me to ask this in a tense tone.
Ugh! What a cute Level 3 guy he was.
Those low-ss demons you see everywhere are Level 300. This is no time to be ying hide and seek with baby kittensif you dont wanna die, that is.
G-good god
Our opponents were Level 500 mermaids. A human would be mincemeat if they were even slightly grazed by the fin of their tail.
That doesnt mean all of the mermaids are Level 500.
There was a difference between fantasy games and reality.
When you went to a Level 500 hunting ground in a game, the Level of all creatures in that region would be simr; Level 490 Rabbit, Level 500 Orc, Level 510 Boss. Games were made this way. A surprising situation where two rabbits are stronger than one orc would ur!
But reality wasnt so terrible as that. In a real life Level 500 hunting ground? There would be a Level 1 Rabbit, Level 50 Orc, and Level 500 Boss. On the outskirts of the hunting ground there would be weak and gentle critters like rabbits and deers, whereas the powerful monsters would pop out once in a while the further you went in.
The Level of a hunting ground was decided by thest boss.
The queen of mermaids is around Level 500.
Those below her werent much to speak of. Although the mermaid princesses who had received the queens dominant genes were about Level 250, the rest were no different from pretty little carps under Level 50. So long as the difficult queen was taken down, the rest would be tasty sashimi for the taking.
Hansoo. How about we try talking it out first? Sieg suggested cautiously. The kid had turned timid ever since taking a beating at my hands.
Of course. The soldiers that I leathe soldiers granted by His Majesty are no barbarians. Well enter negotiations after cutting off all the water flowing into theke.
Th-thats
Dont worry. My strategy is perfect.
Fighting mermaids in water was bothersome even if their Level was low, the reason being that humans who couldnt breathe in water had no remarkable way of attacking them aside from shooting arrows or magic from the shoreside. Thus, the mermaids had to be dragged ontond.
Although I wanted to release deadly venom into theke and easily massacre the mermaids, I had no other choice as crops needed to be nted using thekewater.
Excuse me, Sir Hero~
Lanuvel tugged at my sleeve, drawing my attention. I had neglected correcting that behaviour of hers, being busy ofte, and that cute act of hers had intensified.
What?
Youre not really going to war with the mermaids, are you? The past heroes were friendly towards them.
Oh Ill bet those lechers were.
There were no males among mermaids. They reproduced by seducing and receiving the seeds of fishermen or sailors. The heroes of old encountered mermaids while crossing seas andkes, and they became ensnared by the mermaids smooth skin and body. My 1st ythroughpanion was also born that way.
Needing to seduce the males of other races to reproduce, mermaids were beauty incarnate from birth. Those scrawny Elves couldnt bepared to them.
Ah! Elf A was an exception.
Love between a hero and a mermaid! Isnt that romantic?
Right you are, Lanuvel. It is romantic while you dont know anything.
Very romantic.
My 1st ythrough was like that, after all.
*
*
*
Lake of Sad Songs. That was the name of theke we were journeying towards. It hadnt been that long since that name was born.
Around a hundred years ago, a hero was crossing thiske when he met the mermaid queen, shared love, and thenter left. And then he failed to return againhe was a retard who suffered defeat at the hands of the Demon King, who was extremely weakened from the hero penalty.
It was from then on that the queen only sang sad songs, on every night of the waning moon
Aww What will I do if you snatch my role, Sir Hero? My existential value as Archaeologist Lanuvel will be faint.
Its fine even if it does, so shut it will you.
Truth be told, this was a story I heard from Lanuvel in the 1st ythrough. I was all ears back then, wearing a sparkling expression just like the current Sieg until the hazy illusion affecting me broke, that is.
The Lake of Sad Songs was deep and wide, enough to act as a border line between the Dumpling Kingdom and the neighboring Holy Kingdom. It had a port, and there was also a vige nearby which traded with the mermaids. The majority of the vige residents were men, and none of them were virgins despite them not living together with a woman or a wife.
Its called Sad Mermaid Vige! Lanuvel interjected, trying to regain her role.
Right. Its a very depressing vige just like its name.
We took a whole five days reaching our destination. The amount of food eaten and shat out under the hot sun by soldiers numbering 30,000 was tremendous. We were waging a fierce war that was called marching. It was hard to say if this was more efficient than moving with a small group of elites, but this was also a necessary thing.
B-rank must have finished winning over thest of them around about now.
This showy expedition was the finishing touch for the demon worshipers topletely take over the kingdom. I hadnt casually chosen these troops of 30,000. In particr, themanding officers I had picked were all bothersome disruptors.
?Race: Human
?Level: 204
?Job: General(TroopsLeadership)
?Skills: Martial Arts(B) Swordsmanship(B) Leadership(C) Elegance(D) Horseriding(D)
?Condition: Ufortable
A noble advanced in years rode his war horse towards me. He was the highest in terms of rank alone out of this group.
In a businesslike tone he said, Hero. What must we do? To think of moving an army in this period where food iscking due to the drought I would have never epted this if not for His Majestysmand supporting you, Hero.
He stared at me as if he found us heroes extremely repulsive.
I took it head on, undaunted.
Lord Count, starting now we will divide our forces into three groups of 10,000. Thergest waterways flowing into the Lake of Sad Songs are also three. We will build a dyke upstream and divert the flow of water to the right. Like this
I drew a line on the simple tactical map.
A n to drag the aqueous mermaids ontond, I see.
Indeed.
Very well. Hero, while there is His Majestysmand, I acknowledge your strategy as the most effective at present and will directly carry it out.
Thank you, Lord Count.
Although this Count A was hardheaded and abhorred demon worshipers, he was a noble with many uses as amanding officer, which was why I was going to send him back alive. I had already achieved the result I hoped for just by having separated him from hisnds and family, after all. He wouldnt know even in his dreams that his family members had be demon worshipers.
The other twomanding officers who had alsoe along, Baron A and Count B, were no different. There had been no opening for Evil Miasma to seep into them, as they were thorough in self-management, and the kingdom citizens confidence in them was also extremely deep because of their upright nature. So long as I could win these individuals over, my reputation within the Kingdom would soar into the sky.
You all are the key to this n. Please make sure to defend the dyke after building it.
I had roughly finished persuading them over the past five days. For the sake of the kingdoms people who were suffering from the drought, these threemanding officers would be able to deal with the events toe with boundlessposure.
This was no invasion, but a fight for survival.
I shall. 1st Army Corps, follow me!
May fortune be with you. 2nd Army Corps, to the left!
Let us meet again. 3rd Army Corps, forward!
The 30,000 strongrge army moved as if to surround theke.
The Dumpling King wasnt the only one who had participated in this operation. The Holy Kingdom, whichy on the other side of the Lake of Sad Songs facing the border line, had dispatched heroes along with an army of 10,000. They hadnte to cooperate with us, howeverthey had only done so out of wariness. It was a military operation carried out on their part considering the possibility of the Dumpling Kingdom invading the Holy Kingdom and not theke.
Sieg, Lanuvel and I entered Sad Mermaid Vige.
Holy. There really are only men Sieg muttered, looking as if he had experienced a culture shock.
Its because a man whos been captivated by a mermaids beauty once bes unable to love human females. This is a vige made up of mercenaries and travellers who had their hearts stolen while crossing theke.
Aww my role
Well be heading for that inn over there.
It was a high-ss inn built by the waterside. The 1st floor was a bar, while the 2nd and 3rd floor were for amodation. You could see the unending view of the beautifulke upon opening the window of your lodging, which gave you the feeling of being on a boat. As this inn was where wealthy merchants and nobles who wanted to cross the Lake of Sad Songs mainly stayed in, it was the most expensive in this vige and its facilities were good as well.
Creaak-
It was quiet in the bar of the inns 1st floor, the reason being that not anyone could buy drinks as the price was so high. Still, I could see several patrons.
The beauty of the perpetually cute-acting Lanuvel would receive attention wherever she went, but this was one ce where her looks had no affectshe was treated like some Traveller B. It was because of the female innkeeper, who was of overwhelming beauty.
?Race: Mermaid
?Level: 318
?Job: Hero(EXP 200%)
?Skills: Spearmanship(S) Heat Resistance(A) Sprint(A) Singing(B) Omnipotent(C)
?Condition: Wary
A beautiful woman in the flower of youth, wearing a loose-fitting, blue one-piece dress. She wasnt wearing any cumbersome underwear or shoes so that she could transform into a fish whenever.
A Level 318 mermaid. She was the 2nd strongest mermaid in thiske.
She had two legs the same as any other person, as she was currently onnd, but the outer edge of her ears which were slightly covered by her curly purple hair, wavy like seaweed, looked like the fin of a fish. That was decisive proof of her being a mermaid.
Furthermore, her milky skin which glowed with a blueish green light was glossy as if smeared in sesame oil. It was a unique antifriction substance which lowered the resistance of water, but it had the side effect of appearing sensual to men. It was smooth when putting it in as In any case.
Hello. May I ask your reason for visiting? the innkeeper asked me, faking a radiant smile.
She also happened to be apanion in my 1st ythrough.
Mermaid princess Aqua.
She was the daughter of the hero who appears in thiskes legend. If Alex, who ced importance on the bnce of attack and defense, was a lower version of a hero, then Aqua was an assaultmander specialized in offense and speed.
To her question I replied with a smile, For a meal and lodging.
At the same time as I spoke, I stepped on the foot of Sieg who was staring between Aquas face and cleavage in turns,pletely enraptured.
Agh-?!
Perhaps I stepped too hard?
But hurting was better than dying. If a Level 3 human and Level 318 mermaid spent the night tangled, hero or not, the human would end up a corpse in an hour.
Of course, Aqua had no interest in Sieg. Mermaids could instinctively perceive strong males, and mermaid princess Aquas standard of choosing men began from Level 600.
Are you a traveller crossing theke?
Aqua had two objectives in running an inn here. The first was to find a potential husband, and the second to rmend fine males. If she saw a fine man, even if he didnt catch her fancy, she would secretly let her mermaid friends or sisters know about him before he departed. She was a matchmaker of a kind.
No.
Then a sightseer of theke?
No.
Have youe targeting us?
I had forgotten for a moment. Her third objective was to protect thiske and the mermaids, and that was why she was priority number one to be eliminated. Capable of moving freely onnd despite being a mermaid, Aquas existence was a great threat.
Uh-huh. Theke too.
Splurt-!
The words were right off my tongue when a stream of high-pressure water shot out from Aquas mouth towards my face.
It wasnt something likeplex magicit was a unique ability of mermaids. If Elves had their bows and Elementals, then mermaids had their transformation and water gun. That spit of hers contained a powerful acid. It would be fatal if itnded.
Tsss
But I ignored it and instead closed the distance between us. I charged in straight, not caring whether my clothes melted or not. The slightly surprised Aqua reacted by wielding the broomstick in her hands. Although it was no spear and looked like an ordinary broomstick on the outside, it was a handy weapon prepared for times like these. The brooms material wasnt of wood, but of steel!
That was all, however.
Youre slow.
I had already grasped her movements in the 1st ythrough. Dodging the broomstick, I thrust my lips forward, and the sound of lips meeting followed. Even as she was surprised, she had opened her ripe lips to shoot another stream of water, and I used that opening to push my tongue in deep.
Uuuh-?!
Aqua attempted to resist with her eyes wide open, but she fell limp as she sumbed to the Deadly Venom(SS) mixed in my saliva entering her mouth.
Wh-what just happened?
Sir Hero?
Sieg and Lanuvel opened and closed their mouths repeatedly like a goldfish.
I lifted the high-ss hostage Aqua, who was on the verge of breathing herst, onto my shoulder like baggage and scoldingly said, What? Never seen a woman dying of shock from a kiss before?
Uh yeah.
Its my first time.
Is that so? Strange. There were quite the many women who died while kissing with me, though.
Creeak
Aqua! Aqua! Its terrible! I heard a bizarre rumor of heroes trying to hunt mermaids, so I came to huh?
My gaze met precisely with the eyes of the woman who had rushed through the inns doors.
The hero escaped through the back.
Theres no way I wouldnt recognize the hero!
Saintess A so shrieked.

Chapter 27: The Saintess and the upational Hero
Posted on February 17, 2019 by fujimaru 9 Comments
*Note: Skill name Devilishness changed to mor
The heroes of old had a lovely partner with them. This person was always female regardless of the heros gender.
The Saintess. An insurance, guardian angel for the tender-hearted hero. She possessed the outrageous ability to resurrect the dead, so that the hero wouldnt suffer or feel self-reproach at the death of apanion.
Only, she wasnt capable of resurrecting herself.
?Race: Human
?Level: 124
?Job: Saintess(FaithResurrection)

?Condition: Suspicious, Uneasy
Her Level was extremely low, as bing of a rear support member. This couldnt be helped as supportive jobs either had nobat Skills, or they were nothing much to mention, and so they had abysmally few opportunities to defeat enemies and gain EXP. In exchange, they had a special system going for them.
A Saintess, or healers, would receive power(EXP) in return for curing patients of injuries, illnesses and so on. Regardless of their own will, they would absorb EXP from their patients. Patients would lose greater EXP in proportion to their level and severity of their wound; thus, if you fought recklessly, only believing in a healers capability, then you would go through the preposterous experience of having your Level dropped instead.
But what if a patient was Level 1, though?
Level 0 equaled death.
Whiiing
The pure-white radiance emitted from Saintess As hand, the blessing of healing, quickly permeated the Level 318 mermaid princess body.
Cough-cough!
The first thing Aqua did was cough after waking from the brink of death. Even though her internal organs had been utterly wrecked by my deadly venom, she recovered instantly at the price of her Level.
You! Ugh-!
Lying down on a bed in the inn, she had lifted her torso up with a jerk upon seeing me only to end up copsing again. No matter how omnipotent fantasy healing arts were, they werent so game-like as to make a person whod juste back to life as good as new. She had no choice but to drag her feet around for a while from the sequ.
There were five people in this room; me, Sieg, Lanuvel, Saintess A, and Aqua. I could easily deal with Saintess A with the slightest touch of my handonly, there would be too much Id have to put up with afterwards.
Lady Saintess.
Sieg was extremely attached to Saintess A.
Yes, Sir Hero?
Lady Saintess.
Yes. Please speak, Sir Sieg.
Lady Saintess said my name! Uheheheh!
E-excuse me? Are you okay?
Sieg had gonepletely bonkers. I should have noticed when I saw the saintess character drawn that guys smart phone case, but it seemed he was delusional or obsessed towards the Saintess job. Did they call that a fetish?
It wasnt like Ipletely couldnt understand that feeling.
Saintess A was, objectively speaking, a beautiful person. Hair creamy white like the milk of a benevolent mother, skin pearly without a single impurity and glowing yellow with a slight flush. The features of her small, oval-shaped face that gave off a sense of intelligence, and her outrageous c-shaped body was extremely advantageous in propaganda activities.
She was a beauty among beauties, and that she couldnt age was a bonus.
I am very much okay! Lady Saintess! Cant you call my name just once more? Please!
Sir Sieg.
Uheheheh!
If some grandma with pruny wrinkles had happened to be the Saintess, then Sieg wouldnt have gone so wild with excitement. In any case that queerughter of his was starting to get on my nerves. And it wasnt like I could kill him because of that.
Just what crime did Imit in my previous life to deserve
He was abnormal no matter how you looked at him, and yet Professor Morals called Sieg an excellent model student. Did I have to follow his example in order to escape from this barbaric world? Merely imagining it gave me the chills.
The hurdles way too high, isnt it?
The problematic Saintess A turned to me to speak.
Sir Hero. Can you exin why you attacked Aqua?
For peace.
Uh Mm I might becking in understanding, but has Aquamitted some evil?
No. Shes a hostage for the sake of peace.
The mermaid queen dearly cherished Aqua. By capturing that daughter of hers and threatening to torture or profane her corpse, then the queen would inevitably be shaken.
There was arge army 30,000 strong surrounding thiske. It didnt matter if matters went off course and turned into a war of attrition. We just had to solve the issue of the drought by diverting the huge water flow blocked by the dykes towards the kingdom, and that would be it.
And what will the mermaids do then? Saintess A inquired with a frown after listening to my entire n.
What about them?
Thekes water will decrease.
They wont die because of it. Theyll only be a little stifled from having their home down-sized. But many people will die if crops fail to yield this year in the kingdom.
It was sad enough to have worked for free, so it would be troubling to have my reputation fall as well. So troubling, that I just might immediately set off to take the Demon Kings head.
You can solve the matter with words instead of taking a hostage, cant you?
I intended on talking with the upper hand after catching the hostage.
Mermaids werent citizens of the kingdom. They neither paid tax, nor assisted in national defense. Against these ouws, I had an obligation and responsibility to achieve a trade that was advantageous towards the kingdomeven if I was working for free!
Saintess A heaved a sigh as she refuted, The negotiations might be more difficult because of the hostage, right?
No.
Hero Aqua, who had inherited the blood of a hero, was the only mermaid capable of moving onnd without much restriction. Her value was extremely high, even as the most beloved daughter of the mermaid queen. In short, if Aqua was overpowered and the dyke was built, then the Lake of Sad Songs freshwater mermaids absolutely had no choice but to surrender. After this, we would be able to procure water peacefully.
Th-that is as you say, but Mm
Knowing well the circumstances of the mermaids, Saintess A was lost for words.
Lady Saintess argument is in the right from how I see it! Sieg interjected.
Why dont you say why you think so.
A righteous hero taking an innocent princess hostage and threatening her, its strange no matter how you think about it! Thats something the Demon King would do!
Demon King Pedonar using a hostage to make a threat?
That Demon King wasnt so weak as to have to use such a wretched method. He wasnt weak, but instead so strong that he brimmed withposure and mercy. He was likely romancing the Elf Queen even at this very moment.
Sieg. Try saying those very same words before the people numbering ten thousands who are on the verge of dying due to failed crops. Ill ready a stage for you.
Th-thats a bit
Put a sock in it if you cant, instead of interrupting like a fool.
After silencing Sieg, I turned to look at Saintess A.
Going back to the start, the situation wille to a close within five days of the dykespletion. Whether the mermaid queenpromises or desires war, the kingdoms victory is a fact set in stone. Itll be fine if only you dont interfere in this n, Lady Saintess.
Saintess A was the representative of the Holy Kingdom, and an army 10,000 strong was on standby near theke. Things would beplicated if this matter grew to a national scale.
Is there really no other way?
Maybe if somebody discovered some miracle that makes it rain cats and dogs.
There were none as far as I knew.
There is, Aqua interrupted, ring at me.
There is? Really?
A gigantic catfish lives at the bottom of theke. We call it the Guardian Deity Ullullu.
Guardian Deity Ullullu. A being which had been living in thiske before the mermaids settled here. It was said rain would fall if Ullullu cried; however, it was sealed away due to its extremely violent nature, kept in slumber for over 500 years by the mermaids who took turns everyday to sing lubies
Its the first time Im hearing this. Lanuvel, do you know?
I dont.
Then it was highly possible that lies were mixed in this story and that it was a trap. I also hadnt heard of it in the 1st ythrough.
Sir heroes, weve found a way for this to end with everyoneughing. Although the scale of the rain is unknown, you should be able to ovee the drought if even half of the legend is true. And if you subjugate Ullullu, the mermaids of theke will no longer have to worry about it as well.
Satiness A quickly summed up the situation.
Hansoo! As Lady Saintess says, I think this is for the best? Everything will be solved if that one catfish called Ullullu is taken down!
Sieg, who had been watching out for my mood, spoke up supporting Saintess As idea.
After careful contemtion, I asked, The chances of sess?
I refused to see a repeat of the Oblivion Dragon King incident. Since they said it was born a catfish and so wouldnt be able to leave theke, the Five Disasters had even leaped over such species-rted limitationsthey werent called disasters for nothing.
Truthfully speaking, its hopeless, Aqua dered, having raised her torso up with difficulty. If this longest-term resident could have been defeated by the mermaids power, then they wouldnt have sung lubies for 500 years without missing a day.
Hopeless? Then dont mention it to begin with! You idiotic fish-tart! Should I make sashimi out of you right this instant?
You, are you really a hero?!
At that moment, Sieg, who had been lying low until now, bravely shouted, Hansoo, you wont know until you fight!
Alrighty then. Youre the vanguard.
It would be aplicated matter for me to kill him, but there would be no negative influence to my reputation or character if Sieg ended up dying while fighting by his own will Mm?
This is a better idea than I thought?
This alone gave meaning to hunting the unidentified catfishto trade Sieg for achievement and reputation. A wonderful equivalent exchange.
I, Im still Level 3 so thats a bit over my head
Im still Level 15 as well.
It was an already decided matter; there would be no backing out.
Archaeologist Lanuvel, who was always thirsty for new knowledge, raised her right hand up high as she acted cute.
Lanuvel will also participate in taking down Ullullu!
I didnt ask you.
Aww
And thus, the hunting of the Lake of Sad Songs longest-time resident, Ullullu, was decided.
*
*
*
But putting that aside, I fulfilled all my duties as the actual ruler of the kingdom.
Your Majesty the Mermaid Queen. Sign here, while this hero here, yours truly, is talking nicely. If you dont want to witness the beautiful scene of your daughter being served on a dining table for humans, that is.
H-how can it be so
The mermaid queen, who had caught wind of her most dearly beloved youngest daughter Aqua being caught by the great hero, hade above the waters of theke. Upon reading through the contract I had prepared before the start of the journey, she began to tremble violently. Perhaps she was still struggling inside.
If you dont like it, then its war starting now.
Ugh-!
Its not a bad deal, is it? Come under the kingdoms g and follow itsws. Although youll have to offer up three among your princesses as embellishment for the pce garden pond, you can receive the protection of the kingdom and the hero in return.
Of course, the mermaids could be mobilized for military purposes if they came under the kingdom. Their daily work would be to keep in check the Holy Kingdom on the other side of the border line. Even if tax wasnt demanded from the mermaids, this alone would be able to greatly cut down on national defense expenditures.
This was the optimal scenario I had pictured.
We have maintained a neutral stance until now the mermaid queen said as if squeezing out the words, her beautiful face frowning.
Then the time to make a choice hase.
You are much too different from the hero I had loved.
Thats only natural.
I was different from the previous hero. By no means would I be defeated by Demon King Pedonar.
Haah Here. I pray that your judgement will turn out correct.
I rapidly checked the contract the mermaid queen had signed.
Hm. Theres no problem.
Good. I hereby announce the mermaids of the Lake of Sad Songs as members of the kingdom! Hero Sieg of the kingdom will protect you all.
Uh? Wait. Me? Sieg asked, startled, having been quietly listening by the side.
Knitting my brows I responded, I shouldered everything for free, from mobilizing the military to negotiating. Sieg, if youre also a hero, then take care of at least one matter.
Im just Level 3, though
It was in that moment when Sieg was persistently trying to back out.
Kya! Run away quick!
Everyone hurry to the shore!
The guardian deity has awoken!
It seemed things had begun already.
Hundreds of mermaids, wearing not a single thread of clothing, swum ashore in a mob and rushed out of theke.
Bubble-bubble
The tails of the mermaids became covered in special bubbles and transformed into the slender, bare legs of humans. That was all, howeverunable to stand on their two feet, the mermaids crawled on all fours along the ground like toddling babes.
Nevertheless, they didnt stop.
Ulluuuuuu!
It was because of the gigantic being which had woken up, letting loose a roar from behind them. I had always thought since the 1st ythrough that this was ake greatly abundant in water, but it appeared that was my misconception.
Sash
The moment the thing stood up, the water level of theke fell.
?Race: Chaos Titan
?Level: 999+
?Job: Water King(LakeBlessing)
?Skills: Destruction(SS) Blessing(S) Endurance(A) Charge(A) Chaos(A)
?Condition: Irritated, Muddled
It is a catfish indeed, but
That idiotic fish-tart hadnt told me properlyGuardian Deity Ullullu only had the head of a catfish.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth shook violently with every step taken by that super-sized giant who had lived from ancient times, Ullullu.
He walked onto thekeshore and then, ignoring us, began to ran at a crazy speed
Ulluuuu!
towards Dumpling Kingdom territory.
What?
Bro! You cant~! Come back~!
It looked like my reputation and achievements were about to go up in mes entirely.
Chapter 28 - Ulluuuuu…!
Chapter 28: Ulluuuuu!
Posted on February 17, 2019 by fujimaru 8 Comments
*Note: Skill names changed. Constitution -> Body Technique(Taijutsu), Tracking -> Pursuit, Evil Miasma -> Dark Energy
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Running with a body huge enough to quake the earth, Ullullu was terribly fast. Perhaps it was only natural as he even possessed A-rank Skills.
Damned Level!
I had avoided gaining EXP in order to easily defeat Demon King Pedonar, but to think that choice would havee back to bite me like this!
Objectively speaking, Ullullu wasnt at a levelparable to the Five Disasters; however, it would be a stretch to take him down at Level 15.
Oh!
CuCu?
I discovered a Level 53 wild Orc.
Die quickly!
KuKu~~?!
More! More! More! More!
I hunted what I came across at the same time I chased after Ullullu, who continued charging forth in a straight line. There was no other way if I wanted to raise my Level even a little more.
Ulluuuu!
But that didnt mean it was apletely despairing situation; the monsters that were surprised by Ullullus appearance rushed out from the forest. I thrashed them unsparingly and harvested EXP, but there was a limit to what could be done with even this, the reason being that high Level boss monsters usually didnt leave their territory. They didnt budge despite Ullullu causing a disturbance.
Indeed, theck of time was the problem.
Its a g-giant!
Itsing towards our vige! Run!
Ooh! Oh my god
Hiiieh?! Mommy?!
A vige was in the way of Ullullus path, and its vigers who fell into panic fled outside for dear life, as they were certain to be trampled to death if they were to look on nkly.
Ulluuu.
Ullullu didnt pay mind to the vige thaty in his way. He treated it like weed, sending over a casual kick and passing by.
But his kick contained the effect of Destruction(SS)a peculiar impact spread out from where the kicknded.
Crunch! Crash!
One vige was destroyed without leaving a trace.
N-no!
It felt like I was hearing the sound of my reputation score dropping.
Vige, city, vige, vige, city, vige they were wrecked one after another like dominoes.
A dizziness fell over me.
Sir Hero~!
I had been pursuing Ullullu while hunting the wild monsters that randomly popped out from the bushes, but nced up at the sky upon being called.
Lanuvel was following after me using flight magic.
I immediately gave an order.
Use magic to slow him down or something!
Okay!
I didnt expect something like Lanuvel performing well. What means could a Level 200 magician use to stop the onught of a giant over Level 999? I had only given that order as I felt like wanting to even clutch at rotten straws. It would be a miracle if she could make him even pause-
Ulluuu~~?!
Crash-! Tremble! Boom-!
Ullullu fell over with great noise. He had stepped on a shoddy sheet of ice which had formed out of nowhere in the middle of summer, and he iled about clownishly with that huge body of his as he powerlessly slipped over.
Sir Hero! Lanuvel did it!
Lanuvel formed a V with her fingers, acting cute.
Ridiculous.
This was one time, however, that even I couldnt not acknowledge Lanuvels contribution, which was why I looked past her grating cute act.
Now, then. I didnt have the slightest thought of carelessly wasting this surreal, miraculous opportunity which Lanuvel had provided meI fully mobilized all the abilities I possessed.
Bulge!
I stimted my muscles, the veins on them popping, to the very limit. Endorphins and adrenaline flooded out from my endocrine nds, and my heart pounded like an engine running berserk.
I didnt pay mind to the enormous calorie consumption. Like a slime that continued rolling about what it swallowed until it waspletely broken down, the process of cud-chewing was endlessly repeated in my digestive system.
Amse in saliva. Pepsin in gastric juices. Emulsification through bile. Trypsin, chymotrypsin and lipase in pancreatic juices. Maltase and peptidase in serum.
*Note: The author just suddenly lists these sciencey terms without any context that would help those uninterested in biology or just science in general(a.k.a me) understand what theyre for. Maybe its rted to cud-chewing. I dont know, sorry.
Carbohydrates converted to glucose, protein to amino acid, fat to glycerol. And these are absorbed through the villi in the small andrge intestines.
How are calories rted to all this? It is the energy produced through the breaking down of nutrients. In short, the digestive system can be called a bio-nuclear power nt. But it was still not enough.
Cheers for Master Mong~~!
There was a limit to the natural digestive ability of a human. Master Mongs total dposition enzyme needed to be added to the mix toplete a true bio-nuclear power nt.
I leaped up high using the strength from all these processes, and
Ill start off with a lumbar disc first!
I climbed on the back of Ullullu who was about to try and get up, then rammed my knee precisely between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. It was easy to aim due to hisrge build.
Ulluu..!
Bracing his two gigantic hands against the ground, Ullullu let loose a furious roar as he shot to his feet.
Boom, rumble.
But he howled as he copsed again and rolled about the ground; his waist had failed him, unable to bear the heavy weight of his torso.
This is serious. I dont have enough firepower.
Level was the problem after all. While I was capable of toying about with a Demon King of equal Level, through thebination of Master Mongs teachings and my outrageous Skills, my current opponent wasnt affected by that kind of penalty like the Demon King.
My attack was effective, but that was allit couldnt settle the fight.
Sir Hero! Well also lend our strength!
Hansoo! Ill help you!
Because I dawdled and failed to quickly hunt the giant, the muppets who caught upte stormed over like hyenas eyeing EXP.
The back of my neck began to cramp.
There has to be some wa Ah!
There wasAqua, who was still dragging her feet due to the aftereffect of resurrection. Right now we were onnd, not in the water where it was convenient for mermaids, and the weather was scorching hot to boot. An ordinary human would have already gotten heatstroke, and yet Aqua had forced herself toe chasing.
Aqua! I need your help!
Hah, haah. Sir Hero, what must I do? I did bring my spear to fight, but it wont be of much help.
Its fine!
W-what again?! Uhb!
I stole Aquas lips, and this time I made certain to put an end to her life.
Crack.
Sir Hero! What are you doing! Why did you!
Saintess A, who had arrived a beatte, yelled at me in a tone demanding exnation upon witnessing that scene.
I ced Aqua, now limp, on the ground and asked, Resurrect her, will you.
Do you even hear yourself right now?! The issue is that you killed Aqua who pushed her tired body to help you, Sir Hero!
I also know that.
Ullullu had ovee his herniated lumbar disc and was trying to get up. It was now or never.
You did it knowing that?!
Ill take responsibility and recover the Levels Aqua lost. So stop your twittering.
Twittering?!
I ignored the babbling Saintess A and summoned forth my power.
Fwoosh-!
A windstorm raged about me.
The game was starting now.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 85
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Battle Spirit(SSS) Dark Energy(SS) Tolerance(SS) Chaos(SS) Deadly Venom(SS)
?Condition: Growth
I enjoyed the EXP of a Level 318 mermaid. I would have gone and killed wild monsters had there been a bit more time, but the ones above Level 100 were boss monsters ruling the center region of a hunting ground. And that was why I had opened a tasty mermaid lunchbox.
Level 21 Level 85
In simple math I had grown about fourfold stronger, but the actual range of growth was hard to calcte due to the synergistic and enhancing effects of my high-rank Skills. The only thing I could tell was that I had grown extremely stronger.
Heres one to start!
I sprung towards Ullullu, bringing along the windstorm born by my Skill. Having just stood up, Ullullu didnt even look back at me but tried to run off again. Couldnt something be done with that instinct to run?
I had to stop him by force if nothing elseI put my all into a kick aimed towards Ullullus Achilles tendon.
Snap-!
The pleasing sound of a tendon snapping sounded. It it was only physical strength that was behind the kick, I might have been able to deliver an impact, but it would have been hard to sever the muscr fibre.
But in that kick just now
Fighting Spirit(SSS) Dark Energy(SS) Chaos(SS) Deadly Venom(SS) Physical Strength(SS) Agility(SS) Fighting Skill(SS) ughter(S) Close Quarters Combat(S) Body Technique(S) Destruction(S) Judgement(S) Indestructible Body(S) Massacre(S) Pursuit(S) Vigor(S) Piercing(A) Pration(A) Leg Strength(A) Focus(A) Combo(A) shing Attack(A) Swiftness(A) Heavy Strike(A) irvoyance(A) Murder(A) Dragony(A) Ambush(A) Incise(A) y(A)
the effects of countless Skills were piled above one another. The harmony andbination of these things gave rise to amplification.
Ulluuuu~~?!
Unable to bear the blow, Ullullu fell on his face with his legs kicking about.
In a tone of rage I shouted, This is revenge for Aqua!
Ignoring Saintess A snapping angrily at me from afar(Youre the one who killed her!), I fiercely punched at Ullullusrge catfish head.
Smack.
His squishy head sunk in.
Ulluu
Ullullus tiny eyes lost their focus.
He had a great big body and his Level was high too, but the rank of his Skills had greatly fallen due to his long slumber and rest. While his Destruction(SS) did concern me, just one Skill wasnt enough topare with me.
Winding my right arm backwards, I said, Pity. We might have be a good team if I met you earlier than Noebius.
Not now, though; I refused to see a repeat of the Oblivion Dragon King incident. I wanted him to quickly take his leave for the sake of my graduation certificate.
Wham-!
I dealt another blow to Ullullus sunken head.
It wouldnt have been this simple had we fought inside theke, but Ullullu had given up the enhancing effect of his Water Kings blessing and came onnd. Why had he made such a foolish decision?
Ulluuu, luuu.
Ullullu reached both arms forwards. It wasnt the movement of an attack. He continued to reach forwards like a child begging for something
Boom, crash!
He had continued his futile movements until he breathed hisst, dropping to his knees and copsing. Perhaps it was something like sleep talking or sleepwalking.
I didnt carelessly overlook Ullullus behaviour, however; I was a hero with 10 years of experience. It was obvious something was up
What was in the direction Ullullu tried to go again?
It couldnt be that he was charging over to kill the Dumpling King, whom he couldnt have resented, let alone recognized. If Ullullu had held a grudge, then he would have massacred the mermaids who had sealed him for a whole 500 years, after all, but he had instead run towardsnd the moment he woke. What could be in that direction?
In that moment, a great amount of EXP was absorbed into my body.
My Level soared up.
Level 85 Level 750
Although it felt like my Level soared too much, it was still sufficiently low to easily face Demon King Pedonar.
Power overflowed within my body, but the rank of my Skills were so high that there werent any change Huh?
FE
There was just one change.
The Skill ck-Box, which I felt gratitude towards and which had enabled the carrying over of my 2nd ythrough Skills as they were, had risen in one rank. From F-rank to E-rank! And ordingly, another effect was added.
?Type: Skill
?Name:
?Rank: E
?D:
?E: Cannot be destroyed.
?F: Will not forget.
Cannot be destroyed?
I scratched the back of my hand with my nails.
Drip
Blood immediately welled from the cut skin. Although it did instantly heal from my overpowered natural recovery ability, it wasnt that my body couldnt be destroyed. Perhaps it wasnt a physical effect?
Sir Hero~! Lanuvel shouted, as if to break my train of thoughts.
Having flown over using flight magic, she presumptuously attempted to jump into my embrace, spreading both arms wide and diving with all her might.
I caught Lanuvels face with a single hand in response.
Ah, ahh?!
How dare you act cute.
I decided to put aside tracing Ullullus destination for the moment. There was a mountain of problems that had to be solved right now.
Ssaaa!(Rain falling)
Chwaa!(Rain pouring)
Rain began to fall from the sky. It truly poured down, as if grieving Ullullus death. Was the legend true? Though I did kill him without even giving him the time to cry.
Ullullus gigantic corpse melted in that rain.
It cant be real That thug defeated Guardian Deity Ullullu by himself? It was a Titan which even my father, the previous hero, gave up on
Resurrected by the power of Saintess A, the mermaid princess Aqua muttered nkly to herself. Describing me as a thug grated on my nerves, but I decided to hold it in this time only. Her Level had drastically fallen after dying by my hands, after all.
?Race: Mermaid
?Level: 236
?Job: Hero(EXP 200%)
?Skills: Spearmanship(S) Heat Resistance(A) Sprint(A) Singing(B) Omnipotent(C)
?Condition: Confused, Displeased, Agitated, Sexually Excited
Sexually Excited?
I pondered it for several seconds with my head tilted, and then I suddenly thought of my Level.
Level 750.
Oh! Good God!
Didnt Sir Hero say youll take responsibility for me?
I did indeed say something along those lines. For the sake of my reputation and character scores, I had promised Saintess A to take responsibility for Aquas Level and restore it to how it was. By no means, however, did I say I would be responsible for her future.
Dont stick to me with that fishy-smelling body, you detestable fish-tart.
Sir Hero~??
The transformation of a woman is innocent, did they say? Aqua, who had been hostile until a moment ago, scanned my body with a gaze full of desire as she flirted with me. She was like a female shark that had found prey.
Sieg and Saintess A arrived a beatte. Unlike us who had be drenched by the sudden downpour, the clothes of the two were warm and dry without a speck of dust; the apanying magicians of the Holy Kingdom had shut out the rain using an umbre-like livelihood magic.
Sieg gazed at me with a eyes full of determination. He had quite the look to him despite being a Level 3.
Hansoo!
Talk.
Ive decided to go on a journey to find the Holy Sword of legend, because I feel Ill only keep falling behind you at this rate! Together with Lady Saintess beside me.
The mentioned Saintess A was in the middle of nkly staring at Aqua, who was trying to stick to me like gum.
Uh, Lady Saintess?
Ah! Yes.
Having snapped to her senses at Siegs call, Saintess A said, I was giving an example that there is such a way as well, Sir Sieg. Please do not misunderstand! I intend on protecting the heros descendant, Aqua, by her side starting today. To prevent that filthy hero fromying a hand on her!
Whaat?!
That being the case, find the Holy Sword by your own power. The process of doing so will surely be of help to Sir Siegs growth.
Th-that cant be!
It seemed the situation was roughly settled.
Sieg confidently left, while Saintess A wilfully joined me.
Chwaaa!(Rain falling)
Swaa!(Rain pouring)
Even in the middle of everything, the rain fell in torrents. Like a blocked dam that had broken, the rain fell everywhere literally without rest.
Now there was no need to strive to take thekewater. The terrible drought was immediately solved. Not only the Dumpling Kingdom, but all the countries in the middle continent which had been suffering from the drought were busy praising me. I really wasnt imagining it!
I can hear the sound of my reputation going up! Uhuhuhu!
However
Why isnt the rain stopping?!
Five dayster, my reputation began to go downhill.
Chapter 29 - Waaah! Alex…!
Chapter 29: Waaah! Alex!
Posted on February 24, 2019 by fujimaru 2 Comments
The heros reputation which had been fearlessly soaring into the skies plummeted. The sewers of cities flowed backward, rivers overflowed and submerged viges, dams broke, houses and livestock were washed away by floods the fall in reputation was caused by these various problems urring across the continent.
If there was a silver lining in all this misfortune? It was that the torrential rain had stopped after ten days. That was already after my reputation had been washed away with everything else, however.
Should I go over to the 4th ythrough
I was by the window on the 3rd floor of the royal pce from where three delicious-looking mermaids could be seen swimming in a pond. There, in that ideal location, I sat and gazed nkly out of the window. The sky free of rain was without a dot of cloud, clear and blue.
What a very good weather it was for taking the Demon Kings neck!
?Speechless: The Demon King is not an admission ticket to a re-testing
Ah! Professor Morals. You came right when I messed up the vacation.
?Consoling: I express my sincere regrets to you. However, Student Kang Han Soo, it is said not to throw away the axe handle just because the axe head is gone. While it did be a mess, different to your intention, but as a result the drought was solved and the mermaids were freed from from their shackles as well. There is a positive side to
I was fooled by those vile mermaids! Only my reputation blew up because those damned fish-tarts woke up some strange catfish! Ill catch them all and turn them into sushi and hot chowder
?Dissuading: Please hold yourself back on that alone! And things have still yet to end. Whether your reputation soars or iscking, you must carry out the role of making yourself known. The people of the continent has begun to pay attention to you. If you do something good, then you will be able to amply cate them all.
Something good
?Suggestion: How about helping your friend in his growth? At this rate, he will be getting in your- what I meant is, it would not be strange if he died at any moment now. It is unsettling to let him go find the Holy Sword, is it not? You may not believe this, but his grade in character estimated by the teaching staff is an A. He is sufficiently worth taking note of.
Sieg has an A-grade in character? Wish this kind of world would just go to hell.
Theres no end to this whole charity thing
No matter how I thought about it, Siegs level was at a severe level. It had recently risen to Level 5. In this situation where the heroes reputation was despairingly bad enough as it was, it would truly be a disgrace if Sieg went off adventuring alone and ended up caught by bandits or dead in some ditch. In the end, my answer was already decided.
Ill feign insanity and help him just once.
*
*
*
Saintess A, who had seemed like she would promise Sieg her full support, yed innocent and went back on her words, while Siegs standing went up in smoke as well.
The officials of the kingdom felt deep fury. They had summoned him, fed him, washed him, gave him a bed, clothed him, ved and ordered him around, beat him yet this damned hero tried to set off to the Holy Kingdom?
He was branded as an ungrateful hero.
Nevertheless, Alex held Sieg dear as ever. He instructed him all day long, saying that he was too weak to go adventuring alone. Although it did seem like Sieg, being smothered by that passion, seemed like he would bemitting suicide sometime soon.
I decided to give him a slight breather.
Sir Alex.
Yes. Please speak, my queen.
After beingpletely corrupted by Dark Energy, the queen obeyed me so blindly as to not even hesitate in kissing the back of my foot. I had given her an order: to make Alex move.
This may be the presumptuous meddling of a woman ignorant of the martial, but
What sort of words is that, my queen! Give whatevermand it may be to this humble subject, Your Majesty.
Kicking Sieg, who had be more dead than alive, far away like he was trash, Alex prostrated himself before the queen. That barbarian did have loyalty at least.
Then Sir Alex, I ask that you remove the threat which has emerged in the pce sewers. I have heard rumors saying that it is serious.
The queen ryed my words directly asmanded to Alexthe hunting ground location, risks, way to enter she told everything to Alex except for the most important point which was the boss Level. Just that was enough, however; as the pce knight captain whose duty was to defend the pce and the royalty, it was amand that could by no means be refused.
Alex replied unhesitantly, Protecting the kingdom is a knights mission. I will obey Your Majestysmand!
Alex immediately assembled the pce knights. As it was a matter befitting of knights after so long, with the end of that insane weather bringing a drought and then floods in session, they were all bursting with motivation.
At that time, Sieg, who had been spread out on the dirt ground and twitching like an insect as he listened on from the side, yelled in a loud voice, Ill help as well-!
Things were ying out as I had predicted. Siegs wild, ck eyes which I observed from a distance away were quite to my liking. That was the look of someone thirsting for EXP.
Sieg had alsoe to a realization while one-sidedly being pummelled by Alex all day long in the pce training groundsthat at this rate, he would forever be unable to escape from even the situation of being Alexs sandbag, let alone find the Holy Sword of legend. The efficiency of his Skills fell due to his low Level, and his attack Skills were poor due to being beaten throughout the days.
If Sieg wishes for it, then Ill have to take him along.
Alex epted Siegs request without objection. The perpetual high-strung look on Alexs face eased a little. Perhaps he was satisfied by the heros attitude of volunteering to free service.
Kugh!
But it wasnt long before his expression turned menacing again as he clutched at his waist. It was that herniated lumbar disc, which would rear its head whenever he was about to forget it! It was none other than my work.
Thank you! Mr. Alex!
Clenching his fists tightly, Sieg seemed as if he was dreaming of sweeping up EXP. While his attitude was desirable, I thought it would be good if he didnt overdo it as a Level 5. It would be meaningless if he died, wouldnt it?
I stuck my head out of the window from which the training grounds was visible and asked quietly, Should Ie along too?
No.
Its fine.
Alex and Sieg refused almost simultaneously. Perhaps they were unwilling to share EXP with me.
Alright then.
I didnt insist, backing off quietly. I had wanted to at least keep alive Sieg who was expected to get an A-grade in character, but what could I do since both the person in question and leader of the group both didnt want me?
I had done all I could.
To the sewers!
Yeah!
Sieg and Alexs pce sewers exploration began.
And thus 2 nights and 3 days passed.
*
*
*
I wasnt so free as to escort people, who didnt want protection, for nothing. I didnt pathetically follow in secret after the two and the pce knights who had gone to the sewers.
I was stressed all day long from just facing those three women, after all. Lanuvel, Saintess A, and Aqua. And that the bad memories from the 1st ythrough kept popping up in session was an added bonus.
Right now, I waspletely engaged working on my reputation.
In memory of Captain Alex, cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers!
I opened a party in my dear friend Tonys pub. I fully opened the money bag I had received from the Dumpling King, and bought a drink for every customer who frequented the pub. The power of freebies was great indeed. I didnt regret it in the least.
Alex had died.
He had run into the Level 450 Chimera living in the pce sewers. In the 1st ythrough, I had smoothly hunted it down with the same group members. If there was a difference to this 3rd ythrough, it was that Sieg went in my ce. The result was theplete opposite, however.
How could I not drink on a day like this when my mood was so fine? While this high-performance body of mine was incapable of getting drunk, the noisy party atmosphere of the pub was good. While helping Tony by raising his sales, I grew closer with him too. It felt like the stress built up by the re-tests were dissolving all at once.
Brother Hero, youre too considerate.
Indeed. I heard Alex went around cursing Sir Hero.
Youre too wonderful, even cherishing his memory like this.
The prettydies of the pub stuck right beside me, each making ament. Their looks were far from beingpared to the beauty of Saintess A and Aqua, but I liked thesediesthey were pleasing my mood as service for the free drinks from me. Today, however, the girls were being somewhat awkward around me. And that was because
Lanuvel. Get lost while Im talking nicely.
Aqua couldnte to the pub as she was still a patient, while Saintess A was in charge of nursing that fish, so the two were naturally away. This disrupter, however, hade along like a leech. She really was no help in my life!
Ah! She was a little helpful in the 2nd ythrough.
Sir Hero! Im also a customer of this pub!
Then stop propping up your chin on the table acting cute, quietly have your bloody drink and go. Its a bother to have a hole stared through your face.
But thedies here are openly staring at Sir Hero too, though.
Then you want to do it as well tonight?
At my meaningful suggestion, Lanuvel cracked a smile and replied lightly.
Nope! Lanuvel will shut up this instant! Ive been very rude!
You, really get on my nerves!
Rare was the person who disliked freebies in the world. Tonys pub was so crowded that there wasnt room to sit for the customers who hade from all over the city hearing the news. We merrily ate and drank without Lanuvel. Everyone cried out with united hearts:
In memory of Captain Alex, cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers!
Truth be told, I hadnt expected Alex to really die. Although the Level 450 boss was higher in Level than the Level 300 Alex, the Skill ranks of the majority of monsters including bosses were extremely low. Since the other pce knights who were around Level 180 had also gone with him, I had judged that it was fully possible for him to escape even if he couldnt win.
But there had been a variable in the equation.
To Hero Sieg as well, cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers!
Alex and the pce knights had tossed themselves in dangers way to save Siegthey gave up on escape and recklessly fought against the boss monster. Shouldnt they have known that there wasnt only one hero? They had made much too foolish a decision.
Damned idiots. What about the wife and children they left behind Hmhm! For the pce knight order who fought bravely until the end as well, cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers!
It was the worst victory stained with sacrifice. Reinforcements had found Sieg on the brink of death and rescued him.
The corpses of the warriors were retrieved afterwards. Saintess A had attempted the resurrection of Alex and the pce knights, but as the damage to their bodies were severe and quite a bit of time had passed since their death, there were extremely few who could be saved, and Alex wasnt included among them. That why Sieg, who was also here in remembrance of those lost, was looking mncholy.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 125
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) Endurance(A) Swordsmanship(B) Survivability(B) Fortitude(C)
?Condition: Reflecting, Regretful, Fatigued, Drunk
His Level had greatly increased while clearing out the sewers. Although his Skills still being emphasized on defense was a w, it would work out if it was steadily improved.
Because of me, Alex Hic!
Now now, Sieg. Theres no need to be so down like that. Didnt you take out the boss which was eating Alex and gain EXP? One plus one! At the end of it all, youve be one with Alex! So cheer up!
Alex would live for eternity in Siegs heart.
Waaah! Aleeexx!
Sieg hugged his beer bottle and began to cry.
This guy, really troublesome.
I shouldnt have given alcohol to a 17-year-old minor. It was slightly outside of my expectations, howeverI had thought Sieg was enraptured by the immoral Saintess A, but whod have known that in truth he liked macho men!
Could it be that he was a masochist who enjoyed thrashings?
He must have depended on Alex a lot even as he acted like he hated him.
Lanuvel gazed at Sieg with pity.
Like how you act cute?
Its not acting, Sir Hero! My cuteness is natural!
Pft-hahahah!
Wha-? Why are youughing suddenly?
That was the funniest thing today! Lanuvel! Wheres your conscience? Puhahahah!
Eurgh!
The sight of Sieg bursting with tears it was he kind of scene I had often witnessed in the 1st ythrough. A gloomy air would fall over the entire party when apanion died. While a saintess resurrection ability might appear omnipotent, the prerequisite was that the cost in EXP grew more if the corpses condition was bad or if there was dy in casting the spell.
Would the death of the saintess be the most despairing situation?
Although there wasnt only one saintess on the continents of Fantasia, no two saintesses would go around together as they were all of a rival rtionship, worshiping their respective gods. The rule was one hero to one saintess, perhaps it should be said. From my experience, Saintess A, B and C were all simr in ability and appearance. When it came to business at nights, however, Saintess C was the best.
In any case
Really now matters keep going wrong.
It was a n I formed to raise Siegs Level, but the strict Alex and pce knights had ended up dying.
Uh, Sir Hero.
Lanuvel, who had imed to shut up herself, began to meddle again.
What?
Im asking because Im really curious, but when did the culture of remembering those who passed away by opening a drinking party start?
Huh? You dont know?
Yes, I dont.
That must mean she really didnt know.
Then I dont know either.
Okay okay?!
I thought thered be one such culture somewhere in Fantasias continents. Seeing how even you dont know, it must bepletely non-existent.
I did know the original way folks here respected the dead, though. If you visited a temple which each city had at least one of, prayed and offered donation, a priest would cast a blessing on the deceased ones body and return it to nature. It would disappear, just like monsters which vanished after giving EXP.
Got a problem with my way of respecting the dead?
Nope.
Then shut it and take my drink. Thats right! You drink well. Ill carry you out on my back if you copse drunk, so dont worry.
Where should I bury her so there wont be rumors?
One more ss! More more! Hic!
R-right.
We spent the whole night giving and taking drinks. Although I didnt get drunk, I had to frequently expel the water which umted while downing shots. And then I realized itwhy didnt I know in the 1st ythrough?
This darned girl, is she really human?
Going by the buckets-worth of drinks I had fed her, the alcohol level in her blood should have easily passed 0.45, and yet Lanuvel didnt die despite that. Only my previously bulging wallet croaked itsst.
I should have secretly put poison in her ss or some
?Pleading: Please leave yourpanions alone, will you! Please!
Ahem! Who said anything? Ill catch a heart disease from you popping out everytim-
m!
Geez! Why is this hero acting crazy startling people? Ahem! I dont mean that Professor Morals was acting crazy.
Sieg had mmed both hands down on his table and shot to his feet.
He dered in a loud voice, Aleeexx! Ill inherit your dream and will! A heart-thumping adventure right this instant, lez gooo! Hic!
This punk, was he for real?
Chapter 30 - What in the world is this adventure
Chapter 30: What in the world is this adventure
Posted on February 24, 2019 by fujimaru 9 Comments
It seemed that he had been seriousafter leaving the pub swaying just like that, Sieg packed his things the next day and set off on an adventure without making any ns.
Really! Was he still going through puberty?
?Persuading: A reed is weak but it can be used to tie other trees, and one hand is used to wash the other. That is why it is worrying. It seems the candidate has be twisted from the shock of losing apanion
Then shall I kill him?
I had no intention of grabbing hold of a failed test paper and rotten rope. If the 3rd ythrough was doomed, then I just had to move on to the 4th ythrough. This was also why I didnt try to raise my Levelthe Demon Kings penalty. The lower the heros Level was, the weaker the Demon King became. I was being prepared to assassinate Demon King Pedonar and begin the re-test at any time, in case it looked like my reputation was done for or showed no signs of improving.
?Bewildered: Student Kang Han Soo. The Demon King is not a neighborhood drum.
Who said anything?
?Headache: Please win with love and friendship like others
Sir Hero! Sir Hero! Its terrible!
In the far distance off, I caught the sight of Lanuvel, already sobered despite guzzling down so many drinks all night, running over while acting cute. When she had drawn near I asked, Why? Feel like you were submerged in formalin?
Being so soaked in alcohol, I didnt feel that Lanuvels corpse would rot even if she did die.
Sir Hero! This isnt the time to be spouting such iprehensible things! Sir Sieg got a woman!
Really?
Yes! And three at that! Isnt it amazing?!
It went beyond amazing and sounded like a miracle to me.
There were three people in total who were apanying Sieg on his adventure. Their jobs were respectively priest, archer and thief. The three were all said to be capable beauties who were fairly well regarded by the kingdoms mercenary agency. The priest was a daughter of a famous counts household, and the archer was an Elf who was formerly a ve. The thiefs identity was apparently unclear.
In any case, they were said to be young and pretty.
Really, how extraordinary.
He was so busy getting thrashed by Alex day after day, yet when did he find women? And all three of them beauties at that?
I put my n to kill the Demon King right away on hold. That Sieg was going on an adventure with girls?
Goddamn! Im too curious!
But my workload ended up increasing due to Siegs escape. There really was no end to this charity business.
Bloody Alex. Croaking after leaving a mess.
Alex was troubling me even in death. He should have only sacrificed himself if he wanted to save Hero Sieg, no? Yet he drove the pce knight order into the abyss of death as well. As a result, the strength of the kingdom had plummeted. There was no impact on regr soldiers and so there was no problem with public order yet, but there was a drastic reduction in fieldmanders that could be called elites. That the kingdoms security became poor was no surprise either.
Things would be difficult left alone as is, the reason being that the countless demon worshipers who directly received mymands already knew that I was controlling the kingdom from the shadows. This secret would leak not long in the future and at that time, if the kingdoms situation wasnt good, a fatal blow would be dealt to my reputation and character scores. Even though it was a mess enough as it was because of the flood!
As of now, I had no mind to spare for Siegs adventure.
I have to turn the demon worshipers into military strength.
In this fantasy world, your Level and Skill would be greater the more evil you were, as your EXP and Skill proficiency would rise upon killing others. Demon worshipers were no exception to this. There were some who were deeply involved in political andmercial circles, and there were even armed forces in the 1st ythrough that were powerful enough to wipe the Dumpling Kingdom off the map.
The Dark Knight Order. Those associated were not only present in kingdoms, but scattered across everywhere in the continents. A group made up of the most elite, talented orphans secretly taken in and forged through harsh training.
The Dark Knight Order was also here in the Dumpling Kingdom, but it would take 3 more years if they were to surpass the pce knight order and grow powerful enough to overthrow the kingdom. This was because the B-rank demon was leading their movement, but if an SS-rank individual like me stepped up, it would be as easy as I had dealt with the Elf King.
Sir Hero! Sir Hero!
Lanuvel stuck to me like gum, chirping by the side.
What now?
Arent you going to follow after Sieg?
You, are you nuts? What about my reputation and the kingdom? It should originally have been Sieg and not me supporting the kingdom. Since Alex died because of him, he should have taken that responsibility as well. This impudent punk went off on a journey with girls.
His personality was trash-level, and yet Sieg was worthy of an A-grade in character? It was dubious whether the teaching staff were sane.
?Vindication: The candidate is not neglecting his responsibilities and escaping from reality. He wants to grow strong through adventuring and repay the debt of his lif
And wholl defend the kingdom until then?
?Quiet: We must pray that he bes strong quickly
It was sloppy. Much too careless.
At present, this kingdom would be a scene of hell if even a single Level 400 demon were to invade. The Dumpling King and the two princes would meet their deaths within instants, while the queen and princess would be reduced to the ythings of countless demons.
Even now, as long as I was willing, I could usurp the crown without lifting even a finger. The demon worshipers were alreadypletely in full control of this kingdom; it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say there wasnt a ce that my influence didnt reach here. This peace wasnt just made out of nothing.
?Frustrated: Student Kang Han Soo. Please do not always look at reality too negatively. What makes us happy is not the circumstances wee across, but the nature of our soul. Try embracing dreams and hopes deep in your heart. You will then be capable of moving forward even amidst adversity.
Thats what you call escaping from reality, though?
I knew well what Professor Morals was trying to say. Sieg held the dream and hope that the kingdom would remain safe until hepleted his growth. He was only chasing after the obscure future without looking at the present. Hah! Wasnt he aplete gambler? But I was different.
I was going to face the present head on and lead the future. This was why I had prepared this asion.
The pce knight order has be nothing but an empty name. My friends, you all are the kingdoms future from now on.
Gulp.
Lined up before me were 300 young men and women. Although they were still greenhorns that stunk of milk, within 3 years they would transform into bloodthirsty killers who would plunge this kingdom into shock and fear. They were merelyughable as of now, though.
?Race: Human
?Level: 117
?Job: Warrior(WarStamina)
?Skills: Assassinate(B) Endurance(C) Stamina(D) Fighting SKill(E) Dark Energy(F)
?Condition: Uneasy, Nervous
A set of Skills only emphasized forbat. Even those ranks were at a standard hard to achieve around that age. Approximately 10,000 children had been thrown into a murderous training scheme akin to a heartless war, and 300 of them remained at the end. The way they were trained wasnt as sane as Alexs methods. They were the products made by grinding people.
It still wasnt the end. ording to the n, they would keep at it for 3 more years. 200 of them would drop out of thepetition and only 100 would remain until the end. Only 1% of the original 10,000 would survive. Even the efficiency of this training method was dubious, and that was why I had put a halt to it.
I will give a chance to you all who do not even have a proper name! Grow strong and find your name yourselves! Because I will show you the way.
I activated Dark Energy(SS), a power of the highest level on another league from the B-rank demons! The barbarians of this world called this a demons contract.
Fwaah-!
The energy of darkness unleashed from my body disappeared from sight as it was evenly absorbed by the 300 young men and women. There was an immediate change to their Status.
?Race: Dark Human
?Level: 117
?Job: Champion(CrisisFighting Skill)
?Skills: Assassinate(B) Dark Energy(C) Endurance(C) Stamina(D) Fighting Skill(E)
?Condition: Alteration, Blind Faith, Jubtion
Race, Job, Skill, Condition. Everything had changed apart from their Level, and their looks as well; the color of their hair and eyes which had been diverse, as bing of fantasy world natives, had turned a uniform ck. Upon closer observation, some kind of protrusion had appeared above the outer edges of their ears. Horns had only partly grown, as they werent pure demons. Even so, however, their physical bodies had be superior to that of pure humans. Their racial advantage had changed.
You all have been reborn. Do you believe in me?
I do!
I believe!
Their responses were satisfying. They differed from the ordinary knight who disregarded training for the sake of honor and keeping up appearances, and only chased after the skirts of maidens. These men and women had no EXP perk like a hero, and yet they had managed to achieve this much growth. It wouldnt do for me to not grant them an adequate reward for this. It was time to reveal my 1st ythrough knowledge.
From now on, I will let all of you know of the hunting grounds that suit you. The time limit is one month. Reach Level 200 with the resolve to die. Ah! But dont be disheartened even if you fail. The weak will be given tasks befitting of the weak. Go!
toon 1, depart!
toon 2, prepare!
toon 3, standby!
The future Dark Knight Order moved in perfect order. They would develop and clean up the mess that Alex and Sieg had shat out, and then let me embrace a positive reputation.
A month to go. My schedule would be a bit tough, but this much was enough to focus on raising the Dark Knight Order while residing in the kingdom.
After this matter, I nned on also leaving the kingdom and journeying across the continents. I was going to build up achievements while being careful of my character being called into question, whereas for my reputation I was going to gradually expand it using this kingdom as the base.
Ullullu.
Investigating his destination would be the goal of the journey. If things still didnt look good though, I would only have to go take down the Demon King right away. There was no need to be impatien
Sir Hero! Youre really amazing!
Lanuvel, who had been quietly watching by the side, ttered me foolishly.
What about me?
The air around Sir Hero was so fearsome that I thought you were Demon King Pedonars incarnation! Your acting is outstanding!
Hey, Lanuvel.
Yes?
Have you even seen the Demon King before?
I had met with the top dog with my life on the line twice, though.
Eh No. I havent.
Dont wag your tongue then! Its always daft fools like you who spread groundless spections and ruin the reputation of others! Put a sock in it while Im speaking foul and not killing you!
Aww
I couldnt wrap my head around my reputation in the 2nd ythrough, no matter how I thought about it.
I had massacred the demons back thenwhat I hunted werent any old living fossilsand yet my reputation dropped instead of rising. That was proof that 2nd ythrough Lanuvel didnt do her work properly. Thus, I had to consider another measure to take. I tried imagining my current grades:
1) Combat Ability: Dont care.
2) Achievement: Lets kill the Elf King again!
3) Reputation: Meltdown imminent.
4) Character: No problem.
The most urgent matter was to recover my reputation which had gone to the dogs after hunting Ullullu. A 4th ythrough would be guaranteed if something wasnt done about this. I had a rather excellent n in mind, howeverthe demon worshipers. They were scattered everywhere across the continents. I intended on rallying the whole lot of them and have them promote the public opinion of me into saying, Sir Hero Kang Han Soo! Youre the best!
It was easy to fool the idiotic barbarians of this world.
Its perfect.
The Dumpling Kingdom would be the first step to aplishing this.
*
*
*
2 months had passed in the blink of an eye.
My perfect n had proceeded without a hitch. The entire members of the Dark Knight Order had really reached over Level 200. The number of members who had drawn close to Level 300 werent few either.
At the same time, the small harem Sieg had formed had grown as well, but I couldnt help feeling frustrated every time I received a report about them.
Tofort the loneliness of a grandma living alone whose husband and children have passed away, staying at her home for two days while doing the cleaning, cooking,undry and so on, just what?
Was it that heroes had to pay mind to the welfare of the elderly?
Siegs adventure was a bizarre one. Most of what he did was welfare activities which anyone could do even if they werent a hero. Cases of him behaving abnormally, saving the EXP that he took down with effort, werent few either. Thanks to that, the growth of Siegs party was at a despairing level.
Hero B: Level 125 Level 124
Priest A: Level 56 Level 73
Archer A: Level 245 Level 247
Thief A: Level 118 Level 125
It was a surprising magical feat, setting off on an adventure and bing weaker! Sieg was showing a miraculous rate of development where his Level was falling despite having received a heros EXP 500% perk.
I could deny it no longerSieg was definitely a masochist. Priest A having made a jump in growth while healing Hero B was proof of it.
Sir Hero, are you worrying about Sieg again? I think my esteemed hero is too kind-hearted~??
BuBu!?
Aqua spoke while using a spear to stab the throat of a Level 615 Orc chieftain.
Aqua! Aqua! Are you hurt anywhere?
Not this time as well because of the awesome Sir Hero~??
I see.
Behind Aqua was Saintess A, who had been in an ill mood the entire journey. She had insisted on chasing after us, even though I had told her there was no need for her to follow. The purpose of this journey was to find Ullullus destination, and around half a month had now passed since its beginning.
Hero A: Level 750 Level 751
Schr A: Level 200 Level 352
Heroine A: Level 236 Level 537
Saintess A: Level 124 Level 124
I had taken note of Siegs adventure and was raising these muppets on my back.
Professor Morals, are you looking at this? Please include this well in my character and reputation scores.
Sir Hero! Lanuvel is way too tired!
Lanuvel sunk to her knees in the grass.
This kid is testing this gentle hero.
Get up right now! Spineless kids like you will onlye to their senses after being caught and subjected to some physical talk! Do you wanna experience it that much?
Eek?!
In any case, things were going extremely smooth.
Chapter 31 - This Hero doesn’t bite!
Chapter 31: This Hero doesnt bite!

Note: From now on, Fedornar will be changed for Pedonar. The author wrote it that way in english tin alphabet).
We went around sweeping up EXP. While following the likely path to Ullullus destination, we were passing through every and all hunting grounds nearby. Although it would have been best to fly over in one breath, like the time we visited the vige where Master Mong resided in, but there was no choice but to search every nook and cranny as I didnt know the exact location.
Sir Hero~. Is this fine?
Standing up like a self-righting doll, Lanuvel expressed her discontent with pursed lips.
What is??
Us going over of our own ord and carrying out a one-sided ughter. The heroes of old only taught a lesson to monsters and viins who did wrong.
Thats why the world is in this state.
What?
The heroes of old were hypocrites. They waited until they got a request for help after people died or got injured before saving them. You can tell just looking at Sieg.
Upon being called, those heroes would go truly anywhere, and help out for free.
If you only considered this point, it was really unstinting free service, but from a rational perspective, you could tell it meant they would never take the initiative unless somebody called. Be it a case of murder or plunder, they would only solve the issue after the harm was done, not even thinking to prevent it in advance. But it did seem good for building up reputation.
Lanuvel, your opinion also has a point to it.
Right?
Right. How many top-level monsters have we killed already, and yet the people dont notice at all.
We suffered through it all and didnt receive any sort of reward. In contrast to the fame of Siegs party, which had been inching up in the past two months, we had massacred threats thousands of times greater than what they had faced and yet were still walking in ce. Was it ack of know-how? This needed some improvement.
Eh your words feel right, and also seem wrong
Lanuvel tilted her head acting cute. I was about to point that out to her, but came to a pause.
Stop. 4 trolls in the front.
Trolls. On Earth, they were monsters that appeared in myths of North Europe and legends of Scandinavia and Scond. They were differently depicted in each story, but the trolls of Fantasia were 3-meter tall hideous Elves who were called vicious fiends. Their distinctive features were their hooked noses, sharp ears and their long, thick arms.
The scariness of trolls didnt lie in their external looks, howeverit was their fantastical ability to survive, not dying until losing their heart even if their head were cut off. Their regenerative abilities were also extremely superior, so even severed body parts would recover in no time. And more than anything, they were vicious.
Changeling.
Also known as, child swapping. Trolls openly targeted human infants and children below the age of 5. They would even quietly sneak into viges and cities like thieves and eat them. The reason behind this was that they grew another heart and became stronger each time they ate a child.
Trooog?
Troon.
Trooook!
I had in every troll I encountered to date, but I gained second thoughts after seeing Siegs partys dirty and despicable method of building up reputation. Those trolls hadnt yet done anything. Perhaps I should deal with them after theymitted some deed?
?Race: Troll
?Level: 158
?Job: Thief(The WeakFortune)
?Skills: Tolerance(E) Pursuit(E) Sprint(F) Heart(F)
?Condition: Calm, Hungry
The trolls unique skill Heart was F-rank. This meant it only had one heart, thus highly likely to be a troll that had only recently been born in nature. The Status of the other 3 trolls were simr.
Ah! We were noticed.
Trool?
Trooos?
Troom!
Upon discovering us, they furtively ran away. They would have doggedly attacked us had we been moderately strong, but they couldnt even manage the very thought when the disparity in strength was this clear. It was the might of my Level 751.
Sir Hero~! The trolls are running away! Lanuvel babbled, anxiously stamping her feet.
Just ignore them this time. Theres no proof that they attacked humans, right? Lets try imitating Siegs non-violence.
I decided to observe the trolls. Letting those ripe EXP just go? While this didnt suit my nature, for now I became set on holding back for the sake of graduating.
At that moment
Sir Hero.
Saintess A called me to a stop. During the past half month, I had treated her like air as I had no need for healing or resurrection. Saintess A had also ignored me in turn and only looked after Aqua. What could be the sudden change of heart, though?
What?
I havee to know sickeningly well the truth that you are strong since the Ullullu incident at the Lake of Sad Songs, yet why are you fixated on the weak and absent-minded Sir Sieg?
Saintess A spoke harsh words in a ce where the person in subject wasnt present. Perhaps Sieg would have hung himself to death if he heard her evaluation.
Certainly, Saintess As suspicion was proper. The absolute majority of this worlds natives, who didnt know of the teaching staff and graduation system, could only feel that way. Taking down the Demon King wasnt the end of the story.
I also wanted to argue.
Then Ill ask in return. What is Siegs strong point from what you saw?
What is it?
Dont pester me! Im in the middle of thinking!
Saintess A scolded me in a rare tone mixed with irritation. It seemed I had asked too difficult a question.
Sir Siegs strong point. Its hope.
Saintess A knew of a heros perkEXP 500%but she didnt know that the penalty suffered by the Demon King was tremendous. Like the Saintess A of the 1st ythrough, she only knew that the Demon King is vulnerable against the Hero. Therefore, the hero was hope to defeating the Demon King. It was the answer I expected so far.
And?
Nothing else.
Mm? None?
Yes, none. A hero is a hero. If looking at him without the job of hero, Sir Sieg would merely be a 17-year-old male who hankers after women. But he is special because he is a hero
Upon hearing Saintess As exnation, I felt even more suspicious regarding the teaching staffs objective. I also thought Sieg was ordinary, despite his somewhat unique hobbies.
is what I always thought until now. But when I keep looking at you, I earnestly feel that even if a chosen heros character andmon sense iscking, they have to be a normal person.
Kegh! What about me?
Normal people dont kill mermaids
We chased after the 4 trolls while sharing this murmured conversation. And then an opportunity came.
Troor!
Trooob!
Trolls are attacking!
Holy! There are even 4 of them!
The trolls attacked a nobles carriage which was passing through a mountain path. The escorting knights and soldiers were maintaining an iron-tight defense, but the trolls believed in their regenerative abilities and proceeded to charge, each one of them with the same objective.
Theyre targeting the carriage!
Defend it! No matter the means!
Stop them with shielkargh?!
The trolls took on the des of the humans surrounding the carriage with their bare bodies as they pressed forward. Although they took significant damage, one of the trolls finally made it to the carriage.
Crunch-!
The door of the carriage made from sturdy wood was ripped off by the trolls huge hand. The trolls goal wasnt to massacre the humans.
Kyagh-?!
A females scream rang out from inside the carriage. Held in the embrace of the noblewoman who wore a pure green dress was a small life.
Trooood!
N-no! Eat me instead!
The objective of the troll which broke the carriage wasnt the woman. It didnt even pretend to listen to the pleading of the woman trying to sacrifice herself.
The aim of the troll?
Troov!
Waah!
The newborn baby being held by the woman. This was the reason trolls were reputed as vicious.
Smack-!
Mhm, thats far enough.
I lightly struck the trolls back with a knife-hand.
Trooow~?!
The battle ended with that alone. Troll heart or not, the troll whose body was struck t died instantly. The rest of the 3 trolls hanging about over there were dealt with by Aqua and Lanuvel. The matter came to an end with Saintess A healing the injured. It was a clean battle.
Thank you for saving us. Thank you, truly!
The noblewoman repeatedly expressed her gratitude while holding the child in her arms. I exhibited the etiquette I had polished over 10 years.
Its a relief that youre fine. I am a hero, and those over there are muppets.
Ah! So you were an esteemed hero. Uh
I am very sorry.
Yes?
While I wish to apany to you to your destination, its not that I feel it a waaaste of time, but I have a matter of utmost urgency. But do not be too disappointed! My subordinates will safely protect everyone to your journeys end.
Siegs free service was much too inefficient. I intended on using every means at disposal.
Not long had passed before the loud sounds of marching could be here, followed by the arrival of my reinforcementsthe Dark Knight Order. I had used them to fill the empty space left by the pce knight order, while deploying the leftover forces to subjugate and convert the demon worshipers in the surrounding nations. They were quite the useful muppets.
Gasp! Those are Fel-Humans!
So many?!
Why are those servants of demons
The knights and soldiers guarding the carriage were shocked. It must have been due to the sight of the protrusions on the heads of the light-armored Dark Knight Order. It was as they assumed.
?Race: Dark Human
?Level: 265
?Job: Champion(CrisisFighting Skill)
?Skills: Assassinate(A) Agility(B) Stamina(B) Dark Energy(C) Fighting Skill(C)
?Condition: Blind Faith
A human tainted by Dark Energya Fel-Human. They were the upgraded version of Porter from the 2nd ythrough. There were 10 men in the Dark Knight Order 1st toon I had called this time. Their individualbat abilities were already at the level of easily dicing apart low-ss demons. If theybined their strength, they could even eliminate a middle-ss demon. A hundred trolls coulde charging at them to no avail. Truthfully, it was an excessive force to use for the likes of escorting a carriage.
Please give themand, great hero.
Hm.
But I took a service mind-set. It would be troubling to hear people sayingter on, The way Sir Hero wrapped up the matter was unsatisfactory, after doing my best to save them. Nothing was more irritating than being served insult even after giving help, which was why I decided to do it with certainty.
Escort these people to their destination.
I heed yourmand.
I gave a gentle smile at the noblewoman, who waspletely nervous. This was something I had confidence in.
You may rest at ease until your journeys end.
Y-you neednt help us! O great hero!
This was why nobles were tiring to face. They would always y hard to get once to exhibit that dissatisfying manner of theirs, being troublesome.
Madam, dont refuse.
Heek?! Yes! Im sorry! Ill ept the escort with delight!
Dont be afraid. The trolls have all died.
Yes, yes-yes!
I had thought the woman had quite the willpower when she was protecting the babe in front of the hideous troll, but I must have seen wrong.
*
*
*
Having finished tending to the wounded and making repairs, the carriage soon set off. 10 Dark Knights escorted the carriage as if surrounding it, just like wolves herding youngmbs.
I never knew Sir Hero evenmands the obedience of Fel-Humans. Its not like theres no simr precedent at all, but Saintess A left her words hanging with a troubled expression.
I ignored and stole a nce up at the sky. The sun was about to set.
While its certain that Siegs despicable method of only helping those in crisis has effect, it takes too much time. We would have been dyed even more if we did the escorting instead of leaving it to the muppets.
That would have made it difficult.
We were currently travelling in the direction where Ullullu had charged towards. While I still didnt know the final destination of that catfish, wouldnt some hidden ruins orbyrinth or somethinge out if we kept advancing? No ce came to mind ording to my 1st ythrough knowledge, and Archaeologist Lanuvel seemed not to know either.
I have to hurry this up.
A hunch was telling me that I had to reach that ce before Professor Morals caught on. However, I would end up noticed if I openly headed over like this. It was necessary to keep showing that I was putting in effort to graduate, and this was the actual purpose behind the journey this time. Otherwise
Sir Hero~??
would I be so mad as to keep raising this fish-tart? The recovery of her Level waspleted ages ago, covering interest to boot.
But Iughed out loud.
Yes, Aqua. For starters, get those shameless mits of yours off my clothes will you. Before I cut them off.
I decided to make a small upgrade to Siegs method. It was inconvenient to wait for somebody to fall in danger, so it was time to create a crisis.
I took in a deep breath, and powerfully spat it out.
Chaooooooo~~!!
I mimicked the roar of my dearpanion, Oblivion Dragon King Noebius. If I were merely making noise, then it would have just smeared disgrace on the Five Disasters name.
Chaos(SS)! Destruction(SS)! Oblivion(SS)!
I roared my heart out, and then there was a response.
KuKu~!?
Troooop~?!
Ow Ow~?!
All the monsters living in this whole area began to flee. Consumed by primal fear, they blindly ran to distance themselves from the source of the roar.
Du-du-du-du-
Thump, thump, thump-
The earth, trampled by the monsters, rumbled unceasingly. The trees of the forest toppled down one after another like dominoes.
Euh Uh, Sir Hero. What did you do~?
The three women who had taken my booming roar from right beside me were swooning. Lanuvel, who had recovered her senses the quickest among them, questioned me. It was a very good question.
I shed a grin and replied using technical terms, I sneezed a little strongly because of my reputation allergic nasal inmmation.
What?
Its fine if you dont know.
Now then, lets go off to save some cities fallen in a pinch!
Chapter 32 - The price of reputation
Chapter 32: The price of reputation
Sir Hero! Are you in your right mind?! A hero attacking a human city to raise their reputation?! Its unheard of! Saintess A twittered with a pale face drained of color.
Hey now! What do you mean attack? This saintess is saying things thatll call for punishment. I just sneezed due to allergy. The startled wild creatures here leaped out and coincidentally charged towards the city is all.
Unheard of?
Nay. This kind of incident had happened several times even in the past. Thend would be destroyed in the process of a hero fiercely battling against a strong foe. When that happened, the monsters residing in the area would take fright and flee on arge-scale, which would lead to them attacking nearby cities and viges.
Are you seriously sayin
Now! Lets quickly go save them!
We moved to the city under threat a little quickly. There was still no big problem, which was Saintess As concern.
It wasnt a sudden raid by the monsters, as my roar which imitated the Oblivion Dragon Kings wasnt only heard by the monsters; the people living in the city had also felt a sense of crisis. The roar of a dragon was asmon as the gunshots of the military in this fantasy world. The people had even predicted that monsters woulde rushing out of their homes.
Arge swarm of monsters are iing!
Quickly inform the lord of this news!
Raise the signal fire and ring the bell!
Evacuating and taking shelter was part of daily life to the fantasy world natives. Of course, a roar on the level of the Oblivion Dragon Kings would cause people to be swallowed by shock and fear equivalent to the impact of a nuke dropping.
LuLu!
Trooot!
Mu~!
The swarm of monsters charged towards the city in chaos. Even the monsters that hadnt budged an inch when Ullullu was running amok was mixed among them, proof of how famous Oblivion Dragon King Noebius was. It was a greatness befitting of my dearpanion.
I overtook that monster swarm together with the muppets and entered the city. Normally, there would have been a checking procedure at the castle gate, but it was wide open and received everyone due to the situation being one of emergency. Everything proceeded and swiftly as running water.
Ding-ding-ding-!
The bells set up in various ces in the city rang noisily.
The monster swarm is rushing towards the city!
Has the Oblivion Dragon King of legend woken after 500 years?!
Men who are brave, take up arms!
It was a scene I had often witnessed in the 2nd ythrough. At the time when I had formed a party with the Oblivion Dragon King and adventured here and there across the middle continent, people had weed us just like that. Shock, fear, despair,ment, madness, panic they showed distinctive reactions.
The people taken by fright closed their shops and ran home, while knights atop horses galloped across the streets encouraging the citizens to participate in the fight toe. A city which had been peaceful instantly turned into the heart of a battlefield.
The time was ripe. I stepped atop the steep castle wall, climbed onto a watchtower and shouted in a loud voice, Everyone! Leave it to me, this hero!
While I wanted to make a rambling speech on top of doing advertisement, casualties would ur in session if I did so, then I would end up being cursed even after saving them. I would be told, Fight if youve got the time to talk. I would then want to bully them by saying, If youre so discontent then fight yourselves or help sponsor the heros work, so I held it in firmly for the sake of reputation.
Jumping down from the watchtower, I ran towards the monster swarm.
Sir Hero~! What should we do?
Well fight together!
If Aquas going, then I am too.
The muppets were spouting ridiculous nonsense. I had put so much effort into preparing this stagehow dare they try to get a finger in the pie?
You lot just protect yourselves! Youre hindrances!
Their eyes were full ofint. I helplessly cooked up a rough excuse, telling them to defend the castle gate and that the citizens would be in danger if it was broken through, which added a noble vor to the role. Only then did the muppets nod and retreat.
Hah! What power of friendship.
That was no more than a cowardly means the weak resorted to. To the great hero on his 3rd ythrough who had a track record of cracking the skull and beheading the Demon King by himself, it was a low-ss, worthless and trifling skill.
Even though trash cleaning used to be that Sage guys role
The Sage used wide-range magic to sweep away monsters and demon legions. Indirect kills through poisoning, traps and the like, andrge-scale hunting magic had the penalty of granting little EXP. Even taking that into ount, however, the Sage had leveled up day by day. Now it was my turn to do so.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Massacre
?Rank: SS
?SSS: EXP reduction disappears.
?SS: Deals damage in arge area.
?S: Unaffected by terrain
?A: Area of damage increases extremely.
?B: Power of effect increases extremely.
?C: Piercing attribute added.
?D: Area of damage increases.
?E: Power of effect increases.
?F: Deals damage in an area.
Massacre(SS), an amazingly beautiful Skill. Normally, swinging a sword would end at cutting a 2-dimensional line, but you would be able to sh at a 3-dimensional level when this Skill was added in the equation. Up to its S-rank, the Skill Massacre boasted a cute level of effect which would make you ask yourself, This is Massacre? but its true power only revealed itself from SS-rank and upwardsit would truly eliminate its targets on arge-scale.
In addition to this was the effect of other Skills. While they werent as optimized like Massacre, they each had their parts. Battle Spirit(SSS), Destruction(SS), Fighting Skill(S), ughter(S), Piercing(S)
Its a pity about Endymion.
Elemental Sword Endymion. I had tamed it well to my tastes, but it disappeared upon my regression. It would be going to vain efforts even if I went to the country of Elves again to obtain it, so I gave up on it. The same went for other weapons of choice, which was why I used either my bare hands or cheap arms. These I could use however much I wanted regardless of regressing.
Fwoom!
Iunched a punch in the direction of the iing monster swarm, striking at nothing but mid-air. But that didnt end as an empty motion.
HuHu~?!
Ow~~?!
Keeee~!?
The bone and flesh of hundreds of monsters were crushed by my strike. They wouldnt have been able to even guess why they died.
Massacre(SS), dealing damage in a fan-shaped area the size of a baseball field. Judging by my senses, the area damage was 5% inside and out, meaning that 5% of my punchs original physical force was spread out in arge area.
That damage would be 1% at F-rank, and the area affected would be the size of a ping-pong table. The disparity could be said to be stark.
Fluflop
The monster swarm continued to be reduced to mounds of meat at each passing moment. It wasnt as if the Massacre Skill had a cooldown time to it, didnt require some sort of energy to use or restriction, and had no activation dy either. It was a mere 5%, but if my fist was powerful enough to smash the Demon Kings skull, then even 5% was enough to turn a great boulder to powder. And that kind of attack was being spread out in arge area.
One, two, one-two~??
This battle was far from being grave or fierce; the difference in skill was too evident. The average Level of the monsters was 50 or so. If I needed EXP, it would be far more efficient to rather find one boss monster to kill. What I was doing now didnt go beyond a simple repetitive work of stamping out the life of minnows like dirt for my reputation.
Ow-Ow-!
One or two of them would asionally get through Massacre(SS) and approach me, as defensive Skills they possessed such as Endurance or Iron Wall had the effect of nullifying or reducing the degree of area damage. But that was all.
Smack-!
They were no more than slightly annoying. If area damage didnt work, then I merely had tond a direct hit. There was only the bother of having to dodge so as to avoid the blood and flesh of monsters getting on my clothes.
The massacring soon came to an end. No more living monsters stood on the in. There were an extremely few number that had fled to where they lived, but it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that the threat to the city hadpletely disappeared. While there was a bit of harm done to farms and crops of fields, there was no human casualty which would call for the resentment of citizens.
Level 751 Level 754
My Level had risen by a truly small amount as well. The EXP penalty to the Skill Massacre was utterly without conscience.
I shouted loudly, My fellow people! The city is safe by the efforts of Hero Kang Han Soo! Rest easy and attend to your livelihoods!
But for some reason their reaction was unsatisfying. Turning around to take a look at the city walls behind me, I saw that all the people were struck dumb at my performance.
Sir Hero! Sir Hero! You were really amazing!
Only Lanuvel, who came hopping over, showed a normal response. I would have given her a 100 points for that if she hadnt tried to get hugged on the sly.
Right.
While I didnt expect for apuse from the citizens, they didnt even let out cheers, let alone shed tears of joy and deep emotion.
What had gone wrong?
I thoroughly scanned around to see if there some serious losses had urred somewhere I didnt know; however, it didnt seem like I could find out before meeting the mayor or lord of this city.
Th-th-thank you! Sir Hero!
The city lord who came running in all a hurry was very young. Perhaps he had thought to fight himself, as he was wearing a pretty tin can-like armor. It had been for naught due to my performance, though. He preserved his life in exchange, however, so it was fine, wasnt it? It was natural for him to express thanks.
I only did what a hero must.
Although I wanted to receive a reward for my efforts, I held it in for the sake of maximizing my reputation, since even taking over this entire city wouldnt be enough when taking into ount my feat. Perhaps he was aware of that fact? The lord was in apletely nervous state. He seemed worried I would ask for the city as a reward.
It was right at that moment.
Sir Hero! Sir Hero! Come to your senses!
The intive voice of one young woman broke the stillness.
My senses were fine, though?
Euhh
Those words werent for me. And it was no hero pretender eitherit was Sieg. It seemed like he had avoided the monster swarm and ended up in this nearby city.
Siegs attire was truly shabby. What money could someone who did nothing but volunteer work have? His worn-out leather armor which showed marks of careful wiping here and there was a cheap article which even a rat wouldnt wear.
At least his weapon was somewhat better. It was a one-handed sword, a sabre. One of the swords used most by the knights of this fantasy world. It was made light and long so that cavalry could wield it with one hand. As for its distinctive features, it was single-edged and had a gentle curve along its de.
The origin of that sword was also written on the queens report. It was an heirloom he received from a cksmith after Sieg saved his daughter, who was kidnapped by bandits around Level 20. It wasnt a sword made from rare metals, however. It had meaning in that it reflected the entire effort and sincerity of an amateur.
Whats the matter?
Gasp! Its Sir Sieg!
Where did he get such an injury!
Some of the citizens who recognized Sieg made a fuss. After listening to the gist of things from the side, it seemed that he saved that woman who was nearly rammed into by a nobles carriage and got run over instead. He really was one daft
As expected of Sir Hero!
My daughter lived thanks to Sir Sieg!
Thank you for saving my friend!
The citizens helped Sieg up and began praising him. Rumors of this event spread in mere moments. A matter of merely having saved one woman instantly turned into a great achievement. There were even some who mistook Sieg and not me as the hero who slew the monsters.
Outrageous.
These humans who would have died without exception had I not massacred the monsters were raising the reputation of the wrong guy. What I felt went beyond difortit was a deep sense of defeat.
Sir Hero~ We know of Sir Heros deeds!
You were really awesome, Sir Hero~??
You are a preposterous thug of a hero as ever.
And the muppetsforted me in this state. My mood didnt get better at all, however; if I could have graduated with something like the praises of three women, I would have long done so.
I understand what Siegs strong point is.
I had thought him all softheaded, but it was all an act. Through him I saw the essence of public maniption.
Yeah. The very core of my thoughts was wrong.
How many people you saved wasnt important. In the 2nd ythrough I defeated Demon King Fedornar with minimal financial cost and human casualties, but my reputation had fallen even more than what it was in the 1st ythrough. I felt like I could understand why only now.
Public opinion.
The foolish fantasy world natives just had to believe that this hero is kind and amazing!. The truth didnt matter in any way.
Muppets, lets go. To Ullullus destination. Therell be no hunting in the middle.
Yes? Yes.
Doing volunteer work that was like ying house ended today. From now on, it was going to be a cold war.
Control the public sentiment.
Thieves unions, assassin syndicates, masterminds, information dealers I gave amand to the demon worshipers and Dark Knight Order who I could move like my own limbs: take over every intelligencework in the continents of Fantasia. Propaganda was the word.
Ill show you an SS-grade in reputation.
Chapter 33 - Defective goods obtained!
Chapter 33: Defective goods obtained!
The demons chain ofmand was extremely simple and clear: the one with greater Dark Energy was the superior, no questions asked. My Dark Energy was currently SS-rank and thus, excluding Demon King Pedonar who confined himself to his throne, the only ones who couldpete were Archduke A and Prince 1; however, these two would show no activity for the next 5 years at the least, so I was essentially the second inmand.
At present, the people of this fantasy world believed it was a time of peace without war, but it had long been since countless demons had set down their roots deeply across the 5 continents. There was only one reason they had beenying quiet until nowthe guardian of humanity. They engaged in secret maneuvers only because they feared this existence. In other words, they could move in the shadows however much they pleased.
They say Sir Hero Hanssoo is amazing!
What did that person do?
They say hes amazing despite not knowing why!
I-I see! Amazing!
In this way the public sentiment across the continents was wholly changed. If decoys and wandering bards diligently instigated the public in this world wheremunication and exchange of information wasnt easy, then lies would turn to truths. My reputation infinitely soared upwards! Furthermore
The flood from back then was apparently caused by Sieg.
Not Hanssoo? Tell me in detail.
I dont know the specifics either. They say thats how it is.
Keeping yourpetitor in check was a given.
I hear Hero Sieg fools around with women all day long!
I saw it too, how he was flirting with them on the streets.
In contrast, Sir Hero Hanssoo is dignified!
Thats right. He even mercilessly kicks the butt of a beauty!
Sieg was branded as a prodigal casanova, whereas I was advertised as a hero of steel who was never shaken by women. While I felt slightly sorry towards Sieg who had yet to graduate from cherry boy status, the world ofpetition was cruel by nature. I wouldnt show mercy!
Uhuhuhu
Sir Hero, you look like you having the time of your life, even letting me cross arms with you like this~??
Aqua rubbed her sensual body against me wearing a broad smile.
My moods good, oh yes.
My journey had gained momentum since the cold war of intelligence began. My luck was very good, what with one thing and anotherI hadnt at all chanced upon voices calling for rescue originating from some merchant caravan or carriage. They were all just imaginations.
Hero A and muppets continued to advance straight. One day passed, ten days, half a month, a month We idly walked in the direction that Ullullu had blindly tried to go in. We didnt see anything like people being chased by monsters, and then atst we arrived at our destination.
Hah! To think it was inside the ocean.
It was natural that I didnt even know of its existence in the 1st ythrough. A hero was no fish, and the Demon King was no fish either, which was why in my 10 years during the 1st ythrough, the number of times I entered the ocean was so few as to be counted on a hand. While I had often gotten on boats in order to cross over to another continent, I had only boarded a ghost ship and adventured to an underwater temple and seafloor cavern once respectively.
There was one legend regarding this ocean, a story only the local fishermen knew of.
Sir Hero, do you think a peerless beauty really lives at the bottom of this ocean?
Lanuvel was half in doubt, tilting her head to the side.
Being in an ill-temper, Saintess A put in her say, It must be a groundless rumor, Archaeologist Lanuvel. A beautiful woman guarding the Holy Sword of legend? There is only one Holy Sword in the world. It is slumbering in the grave of the previous generations hero in the northern continent.
The conversation had by the two summarized the legend. Apparently, the second Holy Swordy before us.
Even if we want to confirm the truth, the problem is how well find it in this boundless ocean
Sir Hero, should I dive in and check~??? Aqua said while undressing. This darned idiotic fish-tart had simply needed a justified excuse to take off her stifling leather outfit. A fish that had met water she was, literally.
Youre a freshwater mermaid. Do you want to be salted mermaid chow? Ah! I am curious as to how thatll taste, though.
Itll be fine if its just for a while~??
It was right at that moment.
Ulluuu
Ulluuuuu
Ulluuuuuuu
I faintly heard Ullullus cries mixed in the sound of the ocean waves. That Chaos Titan had turned into EXP and be eternally part of me, so those cries couldnt have been made by Ullullu himself. Someone within that ocean seemed to have sensed Ullullus power. Perhaps that was why they were calling out so sorrowfully.
Hmm What to do about this?
It wasnt like I could answer back, saying that catfish had already entered my belly. But while I was pondering upon this issue, a crimson light suddenly shed from within the ocean. It was as if telling me here I am.
Really. If Im being called, then go I must. The rest of you are to wait at the fishing vige which told us of the legend. Ill kill you if you follow.
The Holy Sword said to be guarded by a peerless beauty Shall I have a taste then?
Of both.
*

My Skills were onlyprised of what I had obtained in the 2nd ythrough. As there had been no need to go inside ake, let alone an ocean, I wasnt able to learn swimming type auxiliary Skills. That didnt matter, however.
Breathing underwater is simple.
All you had to do was make a respiratory organ simr to the gills of fishes. While I wanted to be reborn as a perfect lifeform without need for breathing like Master Mong, I still needed more research and materials. Nevertheless, breathing underwater was still a simple feat. I took reference of mermaid princess Aquas lungs.
Afterwards, I slowly swum downwards, towards where the crimson light had shed. However, like how suspicious or hidden secret location always had obstacles, this area didnt allow easy entry for uninvited outsiders either. An obstructor? A watchman, perhaps it should be called.

A boss monster that was on another league starting from its race appeared. Aqua was called a mermaid princess, but it wasnt as if she possessed some special power. She was only a princess as far as mermaid society was concerned. This boss over here, however, was genuine royalty from birth.
Hero of the present world, I ask you to leave.
The ocean water vibrated as a beautiful wave of sound rang in the drums of my ears. The other party was a sea mermaid who, from the tip of her hair to the end of her tail, strongly gave off the air of a noble princess. The elegant curves of her body dazzled my eyes. How tasty she looked indeed. However
Whatll you do if I say Ill pass?
I gave a wickedugh along with this question. If Sieg had encountered this mermaid, he would have lost a hundred times out of a hundred fights, but to me she was merely aughable fish for the taking.
The mermaid smiled sweetly as she answered, That wish is unfortunately impossible to fulfill, because you wont remember a thing. The hero who wakes up on the oceanside will once again set off on a beautiful adventure. Lla~???
I heard singing, a voice sweet like a luby.
Expensive fishy, what was it about my memory again?
L~?? Lakyagh?!
I kicked at the water and sprung forwards, grabbed the mermaid by the hair and, holding it in ce, rammed my knee into her pretty face.
Wham!
I had intended on overpowering her in one blow, but failed due to the mermaids Guardian Job and SS-rank Protect Skill. The damage reduction was at an outrageous level. That being the case
Wham! Wham! Wham!
All I had to do was keep ramming my knee until she fainted.
Euhh
The mermaids iling arms and tail went limp. Her face, which had be bloodied as her previously even front teeth and high nose were all broken, was truly to my liking. What was that about my memory? An arrogant fish-head deserved punishment.
Seeing how she said something about my memory though, it seems I did find my way correctly.
Couldnt I have discovered a ce like this even during the 1st ythrough? Seeing as I had traveled about everywhere across the continents for 10 whole years. What if it was merely that I didnt remember? The 3rd ythrough me was different, however.

The mermaids singing was easily blocked by the F-rank effect of ck-Box.
Does the second Holy Sword really exist?
I didnt kill the mermaid right away but instead dragged her along. Troublesome though it was, some parts of secret locations were well hidden so to make entry difficult for those aside from its guardian. Or it might not be.
Ssrrk
Ssrk
The coral reefs which had been blocking the way forward like the iron bars of a prison opened up a path.
Bingo! It seemed they really reacted to the guardian.
The ce which Ullullu had so anxiously tried to reach revealed itself.
Pretty fishy, thanks for guiding me.
Crack.
As expression of my gratitude, I cleanly broke the mermaids neck. After making certain the guardian had died by the obtained EXP, I leisurely looked at my surroundings.
This ce was the humble abode of a mermaid. Lined up within the house were furniture and household items made of shells, corals and the like which could be found in the ocean, and the asional items which were procured from above the surface. I paid attention to the items which hade fromnd.
Theyre really old.
These items were antiques which may as well originate from ancient ruins. It was surprising that the guardian used these things instead of throwing them away; it was evidence that the mermaid didnt go to trade onnd, instead only silently protecting this ce. Didnt she find it suffocating to see and maintain the same scenery and lifestyle? What was she protecting to go so far?
I went further inside the house.
Ulluuu
It was definitely the sound I heard from the ocean. Slowly drawing near the sound, I discovered something in the shape of a person covered in seaweeds, corals and the like. It didnt require effort to see what it was.
?Race: Chaos Mermaid

It was a mermaid of a peculiar race. Her aquamarine eyes, tranquil like a deep ocean, gave off an intellectual feeling, and her wave-like curvy hair of matching color was full of vitality. From her slender neck to her small shoulders, swelling breasts, slim waist and fascinating curves of her pelvis, she was in no waycking to be called a work of art, but it was extremely regrettable that she had a tail in ce of two legs. I didnt often say words like these but
I want to dunk and keep her in formalin.
I was also curious as to how shed taste.
In any case
One sword was apanying the mermaid. The point of the sword was stuck in the tail. It seemed like the mermaid had done so herself, and she was in the pose of hugging the childishly heart(?)-shaped hilt of the sword dearly close with both arms, as if it was her heart. I could tell from the moment I saw it.
Another Holy Sword the legend was true, huh?
It wasnt the Holy Sword that was a golden bastard sword which I knew well. It was a crimson broadsword. Was it because of its deep red color that ran from its broad de to its hilt? It gave off an ominous feeling closer to that of a demonic sword rather than a holy sword.
The colors just my style!
I had adequately learnt the way to use a Holy Sword in the 1st ythrough. I didnt waste time admiring it. The guardian of this ce was dead; there was no rule saying that someone who had noticed this unusual event wouldnt appear to interfere. For example, Professor Morals?
?Shock: Wa-wait-!
The timing of his appearance was beautiful, but I was fastermy right hand had already been grasping the handle of the crimson Holy Sword. A hero and Holy Sword were a pair by nature. There was even no need to tame it like I had to for Elemental Sword Endymion.
Ssrr
Immediately after I felt as if something had prated into my soul, the Holy Sword which had been stuck in the mermaids tail vanished like it had been a mirage.
The Holy Sword hadnt ceased to exist. It was in a sheathed state. The hero acted as the Holy Swords sheath.

?Resigned: What are you intending by murdering the guardian of humanity, and seizing a sealed defective item Only one sword can be sheathed in a scabbard. You are no longer able to wield the original Holy Sword.
Professor Morals, dont worry. I took down the Demon King just fine even without the Holy Sword.
?Despair: You are strange for being capable of doing so! Defeating the Demon King without the Holy Sword andpanions is an abnormality from the outset! Aah! To think this sort of catastrophe urred while I was writing up a letter of exnation! And Student Kang Han Soo. Surely you are not hoping for your character grade to be safe even after murdering the guardian of humanity, are you?
It was in self-defense, though? I almost had my memory wiped.
?Ludicrous: Are you not aware that you are a trespassing armed robber?
Robbing and looting are the virtues of a hero. Even that dimwit Sieg ransacked a ruins that was off-limits.
?Anxious: Eurgh. I may end up reced
Professor Morals disappeared along with those words. If he became reced, would another teachere? If so, then it would be nice if the neer was a sensible fellow who didnt preach.
Ulluu
This murmuring sound once again came from between the ripe lips of the mermaid who had the Holy Sword stolen by me. Perhaps she was friends with Ullullu? I wanted to believe that they werent lovers.
Brrg.
The tempting body of the beautiful mermaid turned into bubbles and melted away into the ocean water. Maybe I should have had a taste of her before drawing the Holy Sword? A slight regret remained inside me. In any case
This Holy Sword is defective?
Even though the way it fit my hand was first-rate. While I felt sorry for Elemental Sword Endymion, love and friendship would alwayse and go.
Holy Sword 2. I felt like wed be one good team. My hunches had never failed me before.
*
*
*
Hero A obtained Holy Sword 2 and returned ontond. He immediately reunited with the muppets in the nearby fishing vige. Perhaps something had happened, however, as there was amotion going on in the vige.
Sir Hero! Sir Hero! Its terrible! The Elf King, enraged upon seeing his daughter who was vited by humans, made a deration of war!
They say Sieg is also with the Elves.
Lanuvel and Saintess A babbled on with fretful faces. It seemed that Sieg had rescued Sylvia who had been sold to some perverted noble. But so what? They were kicking a fuss over something that really wasnt much.
Pipe down will you, before I cut you with my hot Holy Sword.
Was this the so-called butterfly effect? I had left Sylvia to be sold to a perverted noble and within several months things had escted to a war among races. Part of the responsibilityy with me as well, and so
Just trust in the hero, yours truly! Ive got an excellent way to stop the war among races!
Even palms needed to p together to make a sound. If they didnt meet, then thered be no war either.
It was time to reap an SS-grade in achievement.
Chapter 34 - Highly rating Holy Sword 2!
Chapter 34: Highly rating Holy Sword 2!
War is established when the opposing sides are of simr military force. When one side is overwhelmingly stronger, it wouldnt be called a warit would be called a ughtering.
R-run away!
Is he a demon?!
Dodgkyagh!
The frail waists of the Elves, who were advancing towards the Dumpling Kingdom, were sliced apart like sheaves of straw in great masses each fallen to a single sword strike. Eyes following the horizon could see the blood of thousands of Elves, whose torsos were separated from their lower bodies, spray out and kiss the cold earth.
Exterminating the violent Elves who threatened humanity! This was the best stage to raise my reputation. In addition
Holy Sword 2 is certainly different to Holy Sword 1.
It was also a chance to test my new partners performance.
Holy Sword 1 had possessed an ultimate move, an offensive technique which grew in power the morepanions there were nearby. By using that move, you could put up a good fight against even a powerful foe whom you would never be able to best normally by the power of friendship. It also had various other functions aside from that ultimate move; auto-defense, auto-attack, auto-vigil, auto-storage it was thest boss of everything automatic in fantasy!
In contrast, the Holy Sword 2 I obtained was simple. The heart-shaped hilt of the sword would shine and enhance the heros Skills. It didnt raise the rank of Skills, but improved some of their effects. Taking Massacre(SS) for example
?Type: Skill
?Name: Massacre(+)
?Rank:SS(+)
?SSS: EXP reduction disappears.
?SS: Dealsrge-area damage.
?S: Unaffected by terrain.
?A: Area of damage increases tremendously. (+)
?B: Power of attack increases tremendously. (+)
?C: Piercing attribute added.
?D: Area of damage increases extremely. (+)
?E:Power of attack increases extremely. (+)
?F: Deals area damage.
The area of damage which had been the size of a baseball field changed to the size of a skiing ground. I swung Holy Sword 2 three times and the Elf army was wiped outwhat followed was a one-sided pursuit. As the Elves had all died in one blow, I couldnt tell the degree of Massacres area damage amplification; however, it was certain to have easily went over the original 5%. No, it had to be even than that, since the effect of the other Skills were also enhanced. The synergy of the Skills multiplied several times over.
Partner, youre quite to my liking, you know?
H-how could such a thing
I saw the violently trembling figure of the Elf King, surrounded by his aides. He seemed more furious at having suffered defeat by the hands of some human, rather than the vain deaths of his kin who had participated in the fight. The Elf King channeled that emotion and began to summon forth Elementals. Tens of them, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands
This time it would be hard to kill him with the slip of a hand, but there wasnt particrly a need to worry.
Stab-!
Because the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Kagh?! Nasus! What are you doing!
I am ending the war, Father.
Prince Nasus stabbed the back of the Elf King using Elemental Sword Endymion. It was a clean blow which prated through the kings spine all the way to his heart. Even the Elf King wouldnt be able to survive this.
Slump.
Thus the Elf King passed away in vain even in the 3rd ythrough, following his death in the 2nd ythrough. With that I could kiss goodbye to an SS-grade in achievement, but I had already aplished enough. Victory in a war among races counted as an achievement, no?
Father!
Your Majesty!
Sylvia and Siegs screams rang out in session. Was it just my imagination that the distance and atmosphere between the two were strangely like that of a couple?
Elfheim will surrender.
Nasus so dered after having killed the Elf King and usurped the right to the throne.
Brother Nasus! How could you do that to Father!
Sylvia, my ipetent little sister. Take a look at the surrounding. Countless of our kin have died because of a foolish king. As the legitimate heir to the crown, I will not tolerate any further sacrifice.
You have no right to be the Elf King!
This tear-jerking dramatic exchange of back and forths continued for about 10 minutes. Despite Boyfriend Sieg stepping up to support Princess Sylvia, who was pushed back in terms of eloquence, this matter wasnt a problem that could be solved with two idiots joining hands. In the end, victory was to be determined through barbaric strength!
However, the two sides didnt even meet the requirements to establish a proper showdown, as Nasus was a mini-boss whom I acknowledged.

While he wasnt a match for my present self, this prince possessed experiences in life that couldnt be measured with Level and Skill alone. He was a true fighter who was on a different league from the Elf King, who wouldnt lift a finger and instead entrust battles to Elementals. To show what the little sister who was challenging him was like

While her Level was higher than it was thest time in the 2nd ythrough, her Skill ranks had greatly fallen overall, which spoke volumes of the hardships she experienced. From my perspective, Sylvia looked like someone who wished to suicide.
Kyagh-?!
And in reality as well, the fight between brother and sister ended in a dull manner; Nasus used Endymion to cut down the Elemental summoned by Sylvia and in the ensuing opening, drove forward tond an unrelenting punch in his little sisters abdomen. It was a smooth series of movements performed within a single breath of time.
Slump.
Eyes rolling backwards, Sylvia copsed like a marite that had its strings cut. Looking down at her, Nasus said, I shant kill you, Sylvia, since I will have you go to the human kingdom to serve as the pledge of truce and alliance between our nations.
Says who-!
Sieg attempted to save his girlfriend who was beaten in the blink of an eye; he let out a powerful cry as he charged forward. He was Suicide Candidate No.2

or so I had thought, but Siegs Condition was strange somehow.
Far away from me, a golden bastard sword was summoned forth into the hand of Sieg, who couldnt have possibly traveled to and back from the northern continent. The sword was an antique work of art giving off a fantasy feel, which made for a contrast to my boorish heart-shaped Holy Sword 2. I called it
Why is Holy Sword 1 in Siegs hands?
Holy Sword 1.
I wasnt seeing wrong. There was no way I couldnt know, as I had used it for several years in the 1st ythrough. The real deal had appeared, and its performance also lived up to its name.
ng, ng, ng, ng, ng!
The mini-boss and Level 131 hero went head-to-head in a showdown on equal footing. Level, Skill, proficiency, experience, condition the top-level swordsman who was superior in all aspectspared to the snot-nosed hero couldnt fight well at all. Strictly arguing, Nasus was in the midst of fighting against Holy Sword 1s automatic functionSieg was no more than a scabbard being led about by Holy Sword 1.
Sir Hero! Come on!
You have to win! Sir Hero!
I believe in Sir Sieg!
Sieg youve got to win for sure
The archer, thief and priest belonging to Siegs harem cheered him on, and at the end even Sylvia, who had just regained consciousness, prayed for his victory in all earnesty. Friendship and love began to overflow.
The golden brilliance surrounding Holy Sword 1 suddenly intensifiedits ultimate move was about to be unleashed.
Ridiculous!?
Nasus was astonished. The heros Holy Sword 1 didnt lose momentum even after breaking the de of Endymion, one of the three hidden treasures of the Elf kingdom, and finally that golden brilliance managed to sh down Nasus chest. As somebody said, it was a ridiculous oue.
Thud.
Mini-Boss Nasus fell to his knees before Hero Siegs sword, before a mere Level 131 greenhorn. This was Holy Sword 1s power. So far things had yed out as I had predicted, but
Kang Han Soo! Even if we may be from the same home town, I cant forgive you! To think that you ughtered the Elves who love peace and nature! I will defeat you here!
Sieg gesticted at me as he spouted bullsh*t.
A dryughter burst out of me.
Is that what Alex, who died a dogs death in your ce, told you to do? To stand on the side of Elves, and attack humans and the kingdom.
Alex will also understand.
That so?
I unsummoned Holy Sword 2, and then leaped forwards.
The likes of Level 131 Hero Sieg, who was full of empty courage and falsehood, wasnt capable of reacting to my movement, but Holy Sword 1s auto-defense function ignored such limitations.
Swip-
Holy Sword 1 moved Siegs arms of its own ord and blocked my iing fist. It was infinitelyughable in my eyes.
As I predicted, is it.
Holy Sword 1s movements were no different than how it was in the 1st ythrough; swift, powerful and fluid. It was at the level of a genius swordsman who possessed an SS-rank Swordsmanship Skill. Automatic was just automatic in the end, however.
Holy Sword 1 moved itself towards Siegs right shoulder to block my fist. It was a marvelous move that took in consideration defense and even counter.
Knowing that technique well, I didnt carry through my punch to the end but intentionally came to a sudden pause in the middlethis was my aim from the startand thenunched a kick.
Swoop-
Holy Sword 1 took actions to block my leg this time, and I once again stopped my attack in the middle.
Swippause.
Whiippause.
In short, I continued to make a repeated show of attacking, but I carried out my movements in a furious flurry. The clownish sight of Sieg, who continued to be led about by Holy Sword 1s gradually elerating automatic battle, was better off not being seen. Was his n to try and get his opponent to make a mistake out ofughter?
An interesting thing would happen if this entire process was repeated for several rounds.
Smack!
Gueegh-?!
Sieg cried out in a satisfying mannerI had pretended not to strike before carrying through with my punch,nding a blow on his head.
Swip-?!
Holy Sword 1s auto-defense hadnt functioned properly; the automatic defense system had gone into disorder, tripped up by the very simple psychological warfare. I had realized this characteristic in the 1st ythrough.
Sieg. Itsfortable since the weapon fights for you, right?
Euuh
Entrusting the work to others while taking victory and fame for yourself. Holy Sword 1 was so very attractive, but its w would be exposed in no time in just a few sparring sessions, and it wasnt effective against truly powerful foes. Of course, there was a way to ovee this.
Sir Hero!
You must win-!
Sir Sieg!
Sieg! Come on!
Love and friendship gathered around Sieg, and Holy Sword 1 once again began to shine brilliantly. Holy Sword 1 made Sieg, who had been knocked unconscious by a single blow of my fist, stand up like a self-righting doll and readied its ultimate move. It didnt care for something like the scabbards(heros) will.
The women cheering Sieg on from the side were surely under the mistaken impression that Sieg had risen up again by his tenacity, and wouldnt doubt his imminent victory either. The power of love and friendship I knew of its might better than they did. However
Partner.
Tak.
Sieg wasnt the only one with a Holy Sword. While it was a question as to how Sieg had managed to obtain Holy Sword 1, which was slumbering in the northern continent, I wasnt much different in that regard and so decided to just look past it.
The second Holy Sword even the very existence of Holy Sword 2 wasnt known to the world. Its design was also extremely boorish like some outdated item. It was, however, powerful.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Blood sprayed from the necks of the archer, thief, priest and the shaman, the women who had been cheering on Sieg, as their heads fell to the ground.
Slump, slump, slump, slump.
Their bodies which had lost their heads copsed to ground a beatte, like puppets with their strings cut. There was no way I would let a hostile audience live, no? It shouldnt have been painful.
S-Sylvia! Sieg cried in the midst of readying his ultimate move.
With a sudden sh, Holy Sword 1 released a light even more brilliant than beforethe entire fury of the hero who lost love and friendship was fueling it.
Come at me, Sieg.
Kang Han Soo!
Hero Bs ultimate blow came descending down on my head, a pure-white radiance falling vertically like an iron hammer of a god.
Holy Sword 2 had no ultimate move like that; however, Iughed.
I wonder if thisll also count as an achievement?
sh!
I neither dodged nor blocked Holy Sword 1, taking it on with my bare body. Tolerance(SS), Endurance(SS), Destruction(SS), Fortitude(S), Stamina(S), Immortal(S), Recovery(S), Perseverance(S), Vitality(S), Tenacity(S), Resistance(S), Regeneration(S), Immunity(S), Iron Wall(S), Indestructible Body(S) my damage reduction-type Skills took effect all together. Their effects were even further amplified thanks to Holy Sword 2.
Peck-
A 35mm scratch was made on my forehead in a straight line. New skin formed within 0.7 seconds and healed over the scratch.
N-no way! Sieg yelled as if rejecting reality.
It tickles?
Holy Sword 1s ultimate move, which by all rights should have been a critical blow even if the damage was mitigated through all kinds of defensive Skills, was reduced to the level of a scratch. The difference in Level and Skill between Hero A and Hero B also had a part in it. With this it became clear.
Holy Sword 1: For beginners
Holy Sword 2: For professionals
There wasnt even a need topare whether which partner was more helpful.
I swung down Holy Sword 2.
Eargh-!?
Siegs right arm, which had been holding Holy Sword 1, fell down from the shoulder. My heart was inclined towards cutting his head off; however, no matter how much of a fallen hero Sieg was, killing him would mean that my character and reputation grades wouldnt be safe, and thus I restrained the urge. It seemed that this 3rd ythrough was frequently testing my patience.
I scanned my surroundings; thend was lined up with the corpses of the violent Elves.
Alright. This is the right time.
People across the five continents of Fantasia were busy praising me; however, they werent able to give a clear answer to the question of whats amazing about him?. But no longer would that stand true.
1) Punished the Elf Kingdom who turned against humans!
2) Subdued the fallen hero, Sieg!
3) Achieved a perfect truce without suffering any casualties!
I had made a clear achievement, and the demon worshipers would diligently publicize it. Going at this rate, I might even get an SSS-grade in reputation. I judged that this was the very optimal timing to defeat Demon King Pedonar.
A thousand emotions filled my heart.
Sieg. Thanks a lot, really.
Kang Han Soo! Youre a demon!
Not as much as you are.
I had learnt the essence of despicably building a reputation from Sieg. I experienced growth while suffering a humiliating hardship.
Now, the time hade.
Its a good weather to y the Demon King.
I no longer needed those bothersome muppetsI rushed full-speed to the castle of the Demon King, massacring demons along the way, where my ticket to Earth awaited me.

Crash-!
Ill be intruding to my hearts content!
Ahem! O Hero! Do you not know how to knock!
Chapter 35 - Wanna be secret friends
Chapter 35: Wanna be secret friends
Knock my ass!
Looking at the shape they were in, they wouldnt have heard whatever I did.
My love, dont lose to the hero.
Hm, naturally.
Madam Elf Queen kissed Demon King Pedonar on his cheek, as if praying for his fortune, and then took her leave, swaying her hips in a bewitching manner as she went. It seemed like the rtionship between the two had be stronger than in the 2nd ythrough(22 days back). Was it that the principle and harmony of Yin and Yang transcended even ideology?
It was only after the Elf Queen left that we could proceed to the meeting between top dogs.
Sir Demon King, lets get it over with quickly.
What? Wait! O Hero! Why are you in such hurry? It is the final battle between the Demon King and Hero. Do you not intend on giving even a self-introduction in this historical moment?
Demon King Pedonar, who had been preparing a showy performance by exploding his SSS-rank Dark Energy everywhere, asked this question in bewilderment.
The reason why the proud Demon King was buying for time using an unsatisfactory reason like self-introducing was simplethe Demon Kings penalty. He needed time to adjust to the sudden drop in his Level.
I turned the cogs in my head. Self-introducing was a waste of time. This was my 3rd meeting with Demon King Pedonar, and didnt have anything like a name to give to the king who would soon be dead. I did, however, have the intention to make use of this situation; I guided the conversation in a direction the Demon King who required time couldnt refuse.
Spill what you know about Ullullu.
He was Pedonar, one who was called the first demon. There was no way he wouldnt know about that distinctive giant whose head looked like that of a catfish. The Demon King would gain time, while I would obtain information. It wasnt a bad trade.
Ullullu, you say an interesting question you ask. Then my answer is decided then. Hm-hm. Listen well.
Swooosh
There was an explosion of the energy of darkness..
O Hero! You have done welling this far! I am the very pinnacle of all evil, the one who shall dye this world in darkness, Pedonar! Try using that worthless power of love and friendship to defeat me! Then you will be able to draw near the door of truth!
The trade was off. However, since the Demon King had bought quite some time by giving a long self-introduction with some pauses in between, it shouldnt be aplete failure.
I nodded in agreement.
I agree that love and friendship are worthless.
What?
Are you really the hero?
I am.
And a hero on his 3rd ythrough at that!
Demon King Pedonar didnt lie, because it was definitely true that I would draw near the truth by defeating him. Who would expect a report card to be waiting at the end?
I summoned forth Holy Sword 2.
A cursed Holy Sword! Demon King Pedonar shouted loudly upon sighting Holy Sword 2.
It was an extremely interesting reactioneven the saintess who was closest to the hero had denied the existence of a second Holy Sword, yet the Demon King seemed as if he had known.
Looks like you know of this Holy Sword?
Pedonar would be more used to his fallen Level as time was dragged out, but I prioritized gathering information.
The Demon King replied in a serious tone, I should have realized it when rain fell against nature back then. So you used that small power to y Ullullu and approach the secret This generations hero really is absurd.
Shiing-
After speaking up to that point, the Demon King drew the Demon Sword by his waist, a different reaction from the 2nd ythrough when he was utterly careless. He appeared wary of Holy Sword 2.
Sir Demon King. How about exining before you croak?
O Hero. You shalle to know naturally if you defeat me.
I didnt, though.
Even after cracking his skull, after cutting off his head, I didnt find out.
Are you a fool? Or hard of hearing? I said that you will know the secret if you defeat me. Its only natural to not know yet. I would appreciate it if you didnt show off your ignorance.
With the negotiations broken down, Hero A and the Demon King proceeded to sh.
*
*
*
The curtains fell on the stand off which could have ended up in the destruction of this barbaric world 0 times.
It was over the moment Holy Sword 2 and the Demon Sword collided.
Tang!
The Demon Sword was cut through, along with the Demon Kings robust waist.
H-how can this be?
His torso cleanly separated from his lower body, Demon King Pedonar muttered to himself in disbelief.
I shrugged my shoulders in a natural manner.
Im a bit strong.
Holy Sword 2s amplification effect had good synergy with me. When the hero and Demon Kings Levels became the same, the one with superior Skills and greater experience would hold the advantage. The Demon King held the upper hand in terms of overall Skill ranks as always; however, the tables were turned with the addition of Holy Sword 2.
O Hero!
The Demon King pried open his lips with difficulty to speak.
Dont die in the middle and just sum up the main point.
I refused to hear awkward foreshadowing or bait.
Show that cursed Holy Sword to Oblivion Dragon King, who disappeared all of a sudden 500 years ago. This is as far as I can telkegh?!
Then die.
I didnt want to listen to some trivialst words.
Demon King Pedonars life came to an end. I lightly ignored the look of indignant resentment that remained in his still wide-open eyes.
Ssss.
Dark Energy seeped out from the Demon Kings corpse, and was absorbed by me like EXP.
You can inherit Dark Energy by killing a powerful demon, but
It was a kind of a curse, a power that gradually drove an individual to madness. I didnt remember clearly if I had gained this power in the 1st ythrough as well, as at the time, I had no other mind than to quickly return to my home.
Not anymore, however. Having be able to not forget Skills through ck-Box, I brought the SS-rank Skill Dark Energy, which was obtained upon defeating the Demon King in the 2nd ythrough, over to the 3rd ythrough. Then this time as well
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Battle Spirit(SSS) Dark Energy(SSS) Massacre(SS) Chaos(SS) Destruction(SS)
?Condition: Chaos, Holy Sword
Dark Energy, which had been SS-rank all this while, was promoted to SSS-rank. The total amount of Dark Energy I possessed had be simr to what Pedonar had.
Really! I think people would believe me if I imed to be the Demon King now?
The rest of my abilities had changed beautifully as well. While I had a lower Level than what I had in the 1st ythrough, I had be far stronger. I had two SSS-rank Skills which even the first Demon King had only one of. When taking into ount Holy Sword 2s amplification effect as well, then measuring mybat ability would be meaningless. And that was why my stomach burned even more.
Its a bit of a pity about Holy Sword 2.
To think Id have to return it after not having used it for much.
Shiik
I unsummoned Holy Sword 2 which was stuck in the Demon Kings heart. What was the point of yearning for what couldnt be reached?
Now, I waited calmly for the result of the adventure.
?Sir Hero. Has your adventure been enjoyable?
Nope. Not in the least. Im tired in mind and body because of a certain despicablepetitor and doing volunteer work.
?The path of a true hero is truly difficult. But you formed countless bonds which encouraged you who did not lose your hopes and dreams. From them you learned friendship and love, and after maturing together with them you defeated the wicked Demon King atst. Congrattions truly!
These same lines touched my heart today especiallythe 3rd ythrough had truly been rough. Many times I had almost fallen to despair because of Sieg, that maestro of hypocrisy and propaganda, but it was with the encouragement of the demon worshipers that I could muster strength.
While there was no love or friendship, it was at least certain that we had experienced growth together. Thanks to the demon worshipers earnestly raising up my reputation, I was able to take down the Demon King with a light heart. I truly felt grateful towards them.
?Shall we look at your grading now?
I looked back on the 3rd ythrough. This time I had really prepared thoroughly. Although I was slightly anxious regarding my achievement grade, what with Prince Nasus having taken the initiative to off the Elf King, I was confident that my reputation and character was perfect. Combat ability didnt even need be mentioned. This time I was certain of a triple SSS-grade!
?Please check your report card carefully!
?Name: Kang Han Soo
?Combat Power: SS
?Achievements: SS
?Reputation: A+
?Character: FF
?Note: Why on earth is the easiest subject, Character, in this state?
Eh?
I also didnt know why it turned out like this.
?You have failed to pass.
?Reason: It is a chaotic mess on the whole so I do not know where to begin. A hero must set off on an adventure with hopes and dreams in his heart. An adventure filled with propaganda and falsehoods is no different than a mirage.
Wait! Sieg is the one who started that mirage business, though? I only followed what he did.
?Beginning re-test.
Ignoring my reasonable protest, light began to envelop my body.
Hey! You bastards! Dont give me that sh*t! What standard are you judging my character on?! What about the character of you lot, kidnapping somebody who was living just fine on Ear!
?All of the teaching staff are praying for your sess!
?A specialist instructor will be dispatched.
?A specialist instructor will be dispatched.
?A specialist instructor will be dispatched.
?There is no specialist instructor to dispatch.

Wee Sir Hero!
The voice of Lanuvel who was acting cute rattled my ear drums. I had put in so much effort to fix that pretense of hers, yet it was reset again. A horrifying evidence that the 4th ythrough had begun.
Have youe to your senses?
No.
I was about to go nuts.
I was really about to go nuts.
In my 3rd ythrough, I had achieved top-level scores in all of my subjects, excluding that unreasonable and bias verdict on my character subject. It was a passing score when based on the average, wasnt it? This times re-test didnt make any sense. I was going to go insane.
Is, is that so. Hero-nim, pleasee to your senses soon! Youre very confused at being summoned abruptly without even a warning, arent you? This is Fantasia. A different dimension from the world where Hero-nim was born and raised in. It must be unreasonable to hope for you to immediately understand. Ill start exining things one by one from now.
I turned a deaf ear to Lanuvels exnation, which I was on the verge of learning by heart word for word, as I took a look around the magic circle I was standing on.
Lanuvel, Sieg, and the pce knights. It was thepletely same start as in the 3rd ythrough. Nevertheless, I carried out a test for starters.
Sieg, do you remember me?
It seemed that this guy, whom Professor Morals had praised so very highly as a model student, had also failed to graduate and regressed. The dazed-faced Sieg found me, and then shouted with ring eyes, Gasp! Kang Han Soo! You, this punk! Am I bloody d to see you! How dare you do that to my Sylvigueh?!
I punched the lower jaw of Sieg who came fearlessly at me, giving vent to my emotions. I felt my stress ease a little.
Slump.
I examined the Status of Sieg who had copsed, frothing at the mouth.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Interpretation(A)
?Condition: Critical, Knocked Out
I had thought the vile teaching staff was only discriminating me, but Siegs Status hadpletely reset after regressing. It seemed only his memories from the previous ythrough remained. As for me on the other hand?
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) (E)
?Condition: Good
Everything was the same as Siegs except for one thing: ck-Box. It had remained as it was, promoted up to E-rank in the 3rd ythrough. I had worried whether it would be caught out by some vicious means like that of a antivirus program, but apparently my fears had been ungrounded. My Status was modest as the Skill had yet to be activated.
Eek?!
Sir Hero?!
Gasp?!
Lanuvel and the pce knights were astonished. They seemed surprised that the heroes punched at each other out of nowhere.
[?]Popping In: Seems quite chaotic around here. Has something already happened? I might end up wanting to cry if I get wrapped up in a big problem from the start.
What was with this guy? The way he spoke was entirely different from Professor Morals. Was Professor Morals really reced?
[?]Lively: Hello! Student Kang Han Soo! Im a temporary teacher here for some practice teaching this time! My outstanding seniors unanimously conceded the role to me, so Im very nervous to havee without preparation. Its my first practical experience so Im sure Ill becking in many things, but I look forward to your kind cooperation!
Hooh a fresh teacher hade.
Are you a man? Or a woman? Tell me that to start with.
[?]Flinch: Im really sorry. The rule is that while I may be a teacher, I cant reveal personal information for the fairness of the lessons. In exchange, if theres anything else you are curious about, Ill give you an answer with all my sincerity!
This teachers a ck man. His legs must be covered in hair like pine caterpirs.
[?]Explode: I shave meticulously every morning I tell you! Student Kang Han Soo! Its not in personal rtions to make assumptions that may hurtful to Ack?!
Uhuhuhu Come on in, Miss Trainee Teacher. Ah! Have you married by chance?
[?]Fit of Anger: I havent! I still havent even held a mans hand yet! What does that matter tohub?! You idiot, me! idiot! Even though I swore to never lose my head on the job! Its all over for me
Miss Trainee Teacher, dont be too pessimistic. How about we be secret friends?
Chapter 36 - A fantasy adventure that ends in one day
Chapter 36: A fantasy adventure that ends in one day
*Note: Skill Calm Mind changed to Composure
[?]Startled: That wont do! No! Something so immoral! You are a student, I am a teacher-to-be. The line mustnt be crossed! Those who enjoy danger are said to be ruined by that danger!
How uptight. Do you think you can understand the hearts of students like that?
[?]Conflicted: Th-that is I understand. While it wont be secret friends, if its a bit of friendship then Its all for the sake of better education! Education I say!
Oh! A trainee teacher with flexibility I see. Im sure youll be a wonderful teacher someday.
Uh, Sir Hero?
I returned to reality as I felt goosebumps pop up upon hearing the whispering voice of the wannabe cute Lanuvel.
Sieg, whose face had be a bloody mess, was in the middle of receiving treatment. The pce knights were watching me with slightly tense expressions. Lanuvel was armed with feigned cuteness. And then there was the 4th ythrough!
Combat ability, reputation, achievement. My grades in these three subjects were definitely excellent. While I felt slightly discontent regarding my reputation being A-grade, it was still a far cry from being a failing grade. The problem was characterit had fallen even more than it had been in the 2nd ythrough, and I received an FF-grade. The unreasonable tyranny of the grader was extreme.
If youre gonna be like that then Ive got some of my own thoughts too
About what? Lanuvel interjected, tilting her head.
Instead of scolding her, Dont act cute! I gave a brilliant smile as I said, Lanuvel. Quickly guide me to where His Majesty is, will you.
Sieg had done just this to favorable reception, and I even added a smile as service.
Excuse me, Sir Hero? Youre not trying to kill His Majesty, right?
Why would I?
What benefit woulde out of killing the Dumpling King? Even in the 3rd ythrough I had turned him into a puppet, but didnt kill him.
It, its nothing!
We directly headed for the kings audience chamber. Sieg, whose jaw was done in hard, wasnt able to move even at the end of receiving treatment, which was why I ended up meeting the Dumpling King alone.
The conversation proceeded very much smoothly. With this, it was our 4th time meeting. I was perfectly aware of the Dumpling Kings preferences and personality. Of course, I also knew about the queen, who was sitting obediently next to the king, from head to toe down to thest detail.
O Hero. Please save this kingdom!
Of course.
I promised free service without any sort of conditions attached. Taking a leaf out of the book of ungrateful hero Sieg, who had stood on the side of Elves and attacked the kingdom rather than help it, I said, Leave every problem to me!
The Dumpling King, who didnt know that my words were lies, seemed extremely delighted, and the nobles appeared satisfied as well. Thanks to that, the meeting came to end under a harmonious atmosphere. Now
Lanuvel, get- see you tomorrow.
But Sir Hero, weve only just met, havent me? Ill tell you about Fantasias continents in detail!
Tell me tomorrow.
I had 11 years of experience in Fantasia now. Secrets of the world, hidden relics, ufortable truths, hideouts of guardians, various secret organizations, ancient mazes, mysteries of the world, Oblivion Dragon Kingsir, the future weather and wars toe, dark secrets, the situation of various nations, password of the Dark Commerce I was confident I knew far better than Lanuvel.
Aww Ah! Are you feeling a bit hungry right now? I know a really delicious ce to eat at! This is a secret, but the skill of the cook over there is better than the pce chefs.
Also tomorrow.
And the food at ce Lanuvel was going to rmend tasted absolutely nasty; the meals were sweet, salty and sour. The vors were matched to her preference for stimtion.
Uuhm. Then
Lanuvel didnt scram off easily.
Hey! Lanuvel. Listen well while Im asking you with a smile. We are going to meet tomorrow now. Got that right? Tomorrow Im saying, tomorrow. Im not going to do anything with you today.
Everything tomorrow?
Right.
Aww Then Ill see you tomorrow!
I was able to get her off my back with difficult persuading. Maybe that nuisance was the main cause of screwing up my character grades?
Endure it for now, endure.
After I was led to the bedroom I was allocated by pce knights, I was finally able to have some alone time. Now it was time to carry out an interim evaluation.
Miss Trainee Teacher, you were watching everything right? What do you think?
[?]Impressed: You do well even by yourself!
Unlike Professor Morals, who had the tendency of vanishing like the wind with the excuse of being busy, this trainee teacher said she had plenty of time as she was entrusted with exclusive charge of me. It couldnt be that she would watch over me at night too, right? Thatd be a bit too troubling!
Well, I guess therell be no problem since Ill graduate this time?
In this 4th ythrough as well, the exciting orientation day with Alex was decided to be five dayster. Of course, I had no mind to wait until then.
I activated ck-Box.
?Race: Chaos Human

?Condition: Chaos, Holy Sword
A Status which was even more jammed than it was in the 3rd ythrough unfolded before me. The thing that needed be highlighted here was the ConditionHoly Sword.
Well, Ill be! Partner! I am overjoyed to meet you again!
Holy Sword 2 hade along into the 4th ythrough. The F-rank effect of ck-Box, Will not forget. didnt seem to be rted to this no matter I how thought about it, so it could only be the E-rank effect: Cannot be destroyed.
This was literally a revolution, the reason being
Tak.
The moment I summoned forth Holy Sword 2 and lightly held it in my right hand, the effects of my Skills underwent an exponential leap. A synergistic addition to an already existing synergistic set ofbinations gave rise to something even greater. I felt as if I had suddenly be Level 500.
[?]Startled: How is it that the Holy Sword is with Student Kang Han Soo?!
It looked like Miss Trainee Teacher didnt know about it at all. Since the possibility of that preacher, Professor Morals, concealing the truth was low, it was certain that the teaching staff thought the issue of Holy Sword 2 would be solved by itself when I regressed; however, Holy Sword 2 wasnt destroyed. It had wholly be my power.
Miss Trainee Teacher, wont you be secret friends with me? Genuine friends who even share one anothers deep secrets.
[?]Wince: It, its fine! Im not curious!
Tell me whenever if you change your mind. (Grin).

Had the responses I showed in the audience chamber been to the other sides liking, perhaps? I was introduced to the best room I ever saw throughout all the ythroughs. The bed wide enough to frolick with two maids throughout the night, the thick soundproofed walls meant for the privacy of nobles, and the aphrodisiac and liquor boldly ced atop a table were very much to my satisfaction. And the most important thing
Sir Hero, give me any order youd like fulfilled. Any.
a woman to soothe the loneliness of a moonlit night. A maid of rare beauty even within the pce spoke to me with a hot gaze that scanned me up and down, a green light signal which a man couldnt possibly be ignorant of.
Mhm. Get out.
But not today.
What?
Ill ring the bell if I have a need for you, so leave. And dont let anybody inside my room. Ever.
I, I understand, Sir Hero.
Creakclick.
The maid left the room, politely closing the door behind her.
Now, no one would interfere with me. While there was a window that let in plenty of sunshine, there was no building or structure nearby which was tall enough to peek into this room on the pces 4th storey. It was quiet space just right for some contemtion.
I was in a strange mood.
Its really been a while since Ive had this sort of calm.
It was extremely rare for me to remain still by myself.
Games, karaoke, Inte, movies, entertainments, shopping as someone who remembered the stimting life on modern Earth, Fantasias continents was a still and boring world though that didnt mean it was a leisurely ce.
In the 1st ythrough, I had no time to rest as I was busy cleaning up after the incidents caused by mypanions running wild as they pleased. And when there was the asional breather to take? I would repeat training over and over, raising mybat ability. Even when mypanions held a victory party, I overworked my body and mind with the determination to escape this barbaric world. Everything was for the sake of returning to Earth. And it was the same even now.
[?]Peek: Student Kang Han Soo. What are you trying to do?
Miss Trainee Teacher, a very good question!
I had no time to organize myself due to being busy with volunteer work throughout the entire 3rd ythrough. While it was correct that Skill ranks rose with repeated practice, there were also Skills which required a mental growth such as Faith or Elementalism.
Iid vertically on the bed.
Tap.
I summoned the amplifier, Holy Sword 2 as well. Doping up was basic in order to save time and progress smoothly.
I began to gather the scattered pieces of my soul.
Berserk(S)Berserk(SS)
Mental Capacity(A)Mental Capacity(S)
Fortune(D)Fortune(C)
I concentrated until the day grew dark and achieved a slight growth. Even this was a heavy task which was unthinkable to do if not for a heros EXP 500% perk. Thats how difficult and uncertain a training method this was.
There was nothingrgely notable regarding the development of Berserk. While its SS-rank effect was a bit outrageous since I wouldnt ever be falling into a berserk state, as someone who always maintained a rational judgement, its existence didnt have much of a purpose. In short, Berserk was a Skill that was like chicken ribs.
Ah! Mental Capacity was slightly good though. Only, it wasnt a Skill that made you clever. A fool was a fool, a genius was a genius. When the Skill Mental Capacity became developed, your speed of thought would increase. For instance, if you took around 10 seconds to solve a math equation normally, that time would be cut down to 8 seconds with the Skill. But an equation you were too stupid to solve from the start would still be answered wrongly even if you solved it quicker, no?
That was about it for Mental Capacity, but it was nevertheless definitely good to raise its rank. And finally
Fortune?
I had no idea when this Skill had risen to C-rank. I felt as if I had picked up something which had coincidentally dropped from the sky. It was a necessary Skill for grave robbers and gamblers. It was said that to raise Fortune to A-rank the standard way, you had to either lose yourself in gambling long enough to bankrupt a country, or save your own skin from the jaws of peril about a hundred times. That was why it wasnt easy to raise its rank by human effort.
It was currently pitch dark andte at night.
Everyone else had drifted off to dreand while I was meditating on the bed. In truth, my goal hadnt been the development of my Skills. I had merely spent what would have been tedious waiting hours in a useful way.
[?]Observation: You waited for night to fall? Why?
Miss Trainee Teacher, who had been quietly watching me since I began meditating, tentatively asked me a question.
It should be fine to tell her this. My 4th ythrough goal is already decided.
To do nothing.
My character in the 3rd ythrough got an FF-grade. The lowest grade that wasnt possible bymon sense. It was certain that the unfair and irrational grader was picking at all kinds of faults to drop my character grades, and thus I made a n.
Creak-
I opened the window of my bedroom and looked about outside. Although I could see two pce knights patrolling the outer edges of the pces beautiful garden, the nights in this fantasy world were extremely dark as mass production of magterns, which were simr to modern fluorescent lights, was difficult. The cities and even the pce was no exception.
Howx.
Perhaps they were taking me lightly because I was a Level 1 Hero who was just summoned. I uttered a dryugh, then lightly jumped down out of the window.
[?]Curious: Student Kang Han Soo. Are you going on an outing?
No. Its a bit different from an outing. I intend to go to the Demon Kings castle like this and not return, you see. (Grin).
[?]Bewildered: What?! The Demon King on the first day?!
Tap.
I lightlynded on the ground from the 4-storey high window. Holy Sword 1, which sparkled with a golden light, might have been noticed, but the modest crimson-colored design of Holy Sword 2 didnt stand out particrly. It was very much good enough to use for assassinations too.
Like this, I got out of the pce and the capital, and ran across a grasnd.
Hmph! My character is the problem, you say?
I had thought this system of education one where even if you had 0 points in one subject, but 100 points in three subjects, you would be able to graduate with an average of 75 points. But in the world? All the subjects were being taken into ount separately. In exchange, however, it seemed that the hurdle wasnt that high to get the lowest grade.
That being the case, the method I would take was already decided. They wouldnt be able to use anything against me if I didnt do anything! So as to give no potential ammo to the grader, I didnt even kill wild monsters and evaded them. Not running into people was a given. But then I couldnt help bing bored.
Ah! Miss Trainee Teacher. Are you good at singing?
[?]Flinch: Thats a secret.
Miss Trainee Teacher had been keeping up an iron-tight guard ever since having her personal information squeezed out of her once; however, since only a mere day had passed now, I saw no need to rush.
Not even half a day had passed when I passed the kingdoms borders and barged into the Demon Kings territory.
Mm? I feel like something passed by.
You must have seen wrong. Its just in your head.
I also entirely ignored the lower-ss demons who were wandering about the wilderness; after all, when it came to a biased grader, they might shriek about having killed innocent demons and cut down on my character grade. That was an out, for the same reason as the Oblivion Dragon King and Holy Sword 2 being bait waiting to be taken. I intended on outright not giving any pretext to grab at.
Fwip, fwip, fwip.
The traps, mazes and the like set up in various ces across Demon King Pedonars territory were no obstacles at all to me. It was my 3rd time passing through just this path alone. I was now at the point of being able to go through with my eyes closed.
[?]Ludicrous: Thats ridiculous You really came?
It took one day to go from the Dumpling Kingdom to the Demon Kings castle. I was slowed down quite a bit trying to get by unnoticed in my Level 1 state. Right about now, the people over at the pce were likely making a racket trying to find me, who had gone missing. The Demon Kings room, which I snuck into, was also quite the noisy scene.
I, I shouldnt do this
Then dont.
I have a husband and children
I said dont.
Sitting on top of the solid thigh of the Demon King, who was seated in hisrge throne, Madam Elf queen said in a voice full of anguish, But Im a captive so it should be fine.
What sort of logic is that?!
The Demon Kings face was full of fatigue from dealing with her. The queens dress was fallen beneath the throne, and its owner said in an importuning tone, Lord Demon King, hurry before my body cools.
I was all wrong! I tried kidnapping you because that Elf King fellow kept on bragging about his wife so much. Ill graciously send you to your home, so go quickly.
Its toote.
Its not. We only held hands.
No. Havinge to know of that thing of yours, Ive be a captive not only in body, but in heart as well. So quickly
Anger burned inside me as I continued to listen.
[?]Empathy: Right! Poor Elf Queen! To think she fell to the point of being dominated by vulgar desires! That Demon King is really evi
If youre gonna do it, get on with it already!
[?]Shock: Eh?! Thats the reason you were furious?!
I was too frustrated to wait any longer.
Bang!
H-Hero?! How is the hero who was summoned yesterday here!
By my own feet of course!
Chapter 37 - Alumni Festival
Chapter 37: Alumni Festival
There were no other demons nearby the Demon Kings room; they werent so clueless as to steal nces at the ndestine meeting between a man and a woman which crossed the racial barrier, and my surprise attack met no obstacle thanks to that. It couldnt be a more perfect timing.
You stay out of it,dy!
I charged up to the throne in the span of a breath andunched a hard kick at the tight buttocks of the Elf Queen sitting on the Demon Kings thigh, clearing her to the side.
Kyagh?!
The bothersome hindrance was gone, and now what remained was
Kagh-?!
Puk!
I stabbed the point of Holy Sword 2 deeply in the chest of Demon King Pedonar, who was reduced to a defenseless state. The Demon King, whose Level had plunged to Level 1, couldnt even stand up from his throne, let alone dodge the attack. It had gone just as ording to n.
A hero being so cowardly as to resort to assassination! Cough!
It seemed Pedonar was more shocked at my heroism rather than his own imminent death.
This is what you call a tactical victory! Surprised?
But the Demon King who had already drawn hisst breath couldnt retort; his vitality and even recovery ability had decreased as his Level fell to Level 1.
Haeung Just what in the heavens
I ignored Madam Elf Queen who stood up in an alluring manner while rubbing her sore behind. Now wasnt the time to be eyeing anothers woman.
Now then, quick!
?Sir Hero, has your adventure been enjoyable?
The grading began immediately.
?The path of a true hero is truly difficult. But you formed countless bonds which encouraged you who did not lose your hopes and dreams. From them you learned friendship and love, and after maturing together with them you defeated the wicked Demon King atst. Congrattions truly!
Wasnt this toocking of sincerity, humanly speaking? I had formed no bonds at all in the 4th ythrough.
?Shall we look at your grading now?
But I magnanimously looked past that point with a smiling face because, ording to my calctions, I would be able to graduate for sure this time around. There had been nothing which could have been used as some pretext by the grader.
Now! Get out with my report card already. Come on~
?Please check your report card carefully!
?Name: Kang Han Soo
?Combat Power: C+
?Achievements: SSS
?Reputation: C
?Character: C
?Note: Is this a monster born by the re-tests?
A monster, is it. How saddening. I would like to be called an intelligent student.
The only w was that mybat ability was evaluated low due to being Level 1, but it wasnt particrly at the level of being an issue. Graduating wasnt decided by the average grade anyhow. You only had to pass the minimum standard in each subject and that would be it.
It was the same as university entrance examinations. You only had to achieve the grades required by the university you were aiming for. Of course, it wasnt certain if youd manage to meet that standard due to thepetition between examinees, but this test I was taking wasnt based on rtive, but absolute evaluation. There was no need to worry at all.
?You have passed.
The result came out as expected.
Atst!
I became able to escape from this barbaric fantasy word and return home.
Tears of emotion sliding down from my eyes obscured my vision, and as even my nose felt sour, I found it hard to speak as well.
Hah! It was too long!
I was locked up in this ce for around 11 years. How should I exin to my parents upon returning to Earth? That I was abducted away to the experimentalb of sinister aliens? But that didnt matter right now. It wouldnt be toote to think on it after going back.
[?]Congrattions: Student Kang Han Soo! Congrattions! I cant say anything other than this as I havent helped in anything, but Im really as d as if this happened to me! Sincere congrattions on your graduation!
What are you saying? Miss Trainee Teacher helped too. It was enough that you didnt nag like Professor Morals did.
[?]Smile: I never expected to get results in a single day of practice teaching! My colleagues will be immensely envious when they find out. And I dont know how I should thank Student Kang Han Soo for this Ah! If we happen to meet in society, then Ill be your friend. Its a promise!
Alright. Not just friends, but secret friends, alright? Ill pray that Miss Trainee Teacher will be a wonderful teacher.
?The teaching staff are overwhelmed by your sess.
Apparently the teaching staff were also surprised by my borate exam strategy. Now this was how you took a test.
Look here! Teaching staff. Are you listening? It was stressful being with you lot all this while, and I hope we wont ever meet again even by coincidence!
?Congrattions on your graduation.
?Certificate: The above student went on adventures with diligence and carried out good deeds by his own will in his everyday life. In addition, he became a role model of Fantasias natives by always taking care and conceding to hispanions. Hereupon the above student is appointed as a B-rank Hero. Sincere congrattions on your graduation.
My god! There was a certificate award!
But this also smelled thickly of a half-hearted copy-paste job, and the B-rank Hero phrase was irksome as well. However, I had achieved my goal of escaping from this fantasy word and so, the rest was whatever.
[?]Sniff: Tears areing out for no reason.
Miss Trainee Teacher was a crybaby!
I liked it, because she was more humane than Professor Morals.
A ray of light warm like the womb of a mother shined down upon me, beginning to envelope my body. There didnt seem to be much of a difference from the times I regressed, but I was surely just imagining it.
Mr. Earth! Iming to meet you now!

The moment I came to my senses, I examined my surroundings.
Is this a cave?
I had opened my eyes in a pitch-dark room. Sitting on a primitive throne that seemed as if carved from rock, I was gazing at a way out from which a faint light leaked in. I nced around me, and saw there was no path aside from the tunnel in front. It was as if I was being tantly told, Dear Customer, the exit is that way.
First, I checked the state of my body which was most important of all.
The movements of my limbs were fine. Sight, hearing, smell and such were working normally as well. Next up was Status.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Jobless(EXP 110%)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) E
?Condition: Good
I wasnt able to tear my eyes away from my Job. For some reason, Hero had disappeared.
My god! Jobless. Ive be a bum? They said they appointed me as a Hero, yet not only did they not get me employed, they took away what I had as well. What tyranny is this?
But that was fine. The Job of Hero was simply excessively outrageous; there were plenty of Jobs that were alright. Assassin, Champion, Tracker, Swordsman, Thief, Great Viin When looking at the aspect of specialization, they were even better than Hero. The worst case scenario I had spected was my Status disappeared like a sh*t dream. Compared to that, this was within the scope of what I could handle.
Currently, my attire was onlyprised of a drooping, brown, cotton t-shirt and cotton pants. To my surprise, I wasnt even wearing underwear! My hands were empty as if it were only natural, and my pockets didnt even contain basic livelihood funds.
In short, I was a poor bum.
Hah! Really! Doesnt the Fantasy God even have a conscience? Seizing everything cleanly without giving a single graduation gift.
After lightly grumbling my discontent, I stood up from the throne, and activated ck-Box.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Jobless(EXP 110%)
?Skills: Battle Spirit(SSS) Dark Energy(SSS) Massacre(SS) Chaos(SS) Destruction(SS)
?Condition: Good, Holy Sword
Skills SSS-rank, SS-rank, S-rank. My Status was filled beautifully like the Milky Way on a night sky.
Tap.
I was able to summon forth Holy Sword 2 without particr restrictions as well. Its function of amplifying Skill effects also remained the same.
The upgrade of my physical body was also finished in no time. I had be reborn again as the warrior race specialized in surviving in a barbaric fantasy world. Strong, flexible, and intelligent.
Return preparationsplete.
My heart thumped with anticipation that couldnt be hidden. Now, all that remained was to leave this cave and fully enjoy the life on Earth. The first thing I would do was to find and meet my parents, and then binge watch all the movies and dramas I had missed out on. There was a mountain of things to do.
Before long I came out of the dark cave.
And then I came to a realization.
Now matter how I look at it, this isnt Earth?
After taking in the open scenery outside, I felt in my bones that something was wrong. Or had the environment of Earth changed drastically in my 11 years absence?
A forest of huge trees the size of tall buildings there were no such species of trees that existed on Earth at all.
2 moons up in the sky I had never heard of the moon giving birth to a baby.
Hey! Teaching staff! What bullsh*t is this now? Exin right this instant!
And they really began to exin.
?Your graduation was put on hold.
?Reason: You passed the test by using a means and method not intended by the examiner. While you are registered in the roster of graduates, your actual graduation will remain on hold until you pass the examination in a proper manner.
?Note: The same trick wont work anymore. Capiche?
Capiche my ass, moron. Why dont you look at your own brazen behaviour of insisting that I cheated instead?
They turned the fault into the students after having half-assed the exam and grading standard themselves. Their character and conscience was FFF-grade level.
Anyhow, where exactly is this?
I couldnt see the dimension transfer magic circle and Lanuvel, who would have spouted, Wee, Sir Hero! had I regressed normally.
Hey there! Is it your first time here?
Instead, a woman I was meeting for the first time suddenly approached to ask me this.
I was about topletely ignore her and pass by when I came to a pause.
What? This woman
I took a new look at the woman who came talking to me.
Her pretty face was done up with light makeup, and her outfit and essories didnt originate from a boorish fantasy world, but used the polished designs and materials of modern Earth. Was she perhaps a hero summoned like Sieg?
I swiftly scanned through her Status.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 496
?Job: Warrior(CrisisFighting Skill)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) Evasion(D) Fighting Skill(D) Swordsmanship(E) Regeneration(E)
?Condition: Enhancement, Blessing, Doping
She wasnt Level1, and her Job also wasnt Hero. Then had I seen wrong?
I needed information.
Its my first time like you asked. I was dragged over here without knowing why and so am very confused. Beautifuldy, pardon me for asking you this at first meeting, but can you tell me where this is? Ill definitely return the favor.
I attemptedmunication in thenguage of gentlemen.
Yes. This is, you see Yah!
The woman, who had seemed as if she was going to exin kindly with a smiling face, drew the sword hung by her waist and came thrusting it towards my throat.
Puk!
But I was faster. After ducking my torso and summoning forth Holy Sword 2, I severed both ankles of the womans outstretched legs.
Kyahhpuhah!?
Right before the womans scream could escape her lips loudly, I stomped down hard on her chest using my shoeless bare foot. Her scream turned soundless as the air in her lungs emptied, and with that the situation came to a close.
I had noticed what was up from the moment this woman had approached with a friendly face, as that expression was something I was extremely familiar with. The imperial princess of the Holy Empire the womans expression was the same as that princess, who had used her beauty and tears to mislead the Heros party and in the end, risen to the seat of the Holy Empires empress.
I lifted away my foot that was pressing down on the womans chest, saying, Shut up before I stuff your trap with your guts.
She immediately became well-behaved.
Pretty bitch, Ill ask again. Where is this? Itll be best for your mental health if you reply while Im talking foul.
I, I give.
Swallowed by fear, the woman gave an irrelevant reply.
Right. We were still strangers, werent we? We should first converse with our bodies and then resume the talkEh?!
Pop!
The bloodied woman before my eyes disappeared all of a sudden, leaving not a single trace like logging off from an online game. What kind of magic was this?
I desperately needed somebody to kindly exin this to me. I felt like wanting to borrow help from even Professor Morals.
?The teaching staff are bbergasted by your return to school.
?A specialized instructor will be dispatched.
?A specialized instructor will be dispatched.
?A specialized instructor will be dispatched.
?There is no specialized instructor to dispatch.
That didnt mean that I really wanted help from him, though. Could it be they couldnt tell apart jokes and earnest words?
[?]Startled: Hello! Student Kang Han Soo. We meet again so soon! Ive just heard about your graduation being put on hold. You must be very upset, right? But get back up and go for it again. Ill cheer you on by your side!
Wee, Miss Trainee Teacher. I feel that, as weve been together since my entrance in the 4th ythrough to my graduation, we dont need to keep up false appearances. Were good friends. How about it? Are my words wrong?
[?]At A Loss: When you put it that way, it sounds like we were together a really long time. It was just a single day but youre right! The depth of a rtionship cant be measured by time. However, being friends feels too rushed
Hey now! Miss Trainee Teacher. Did you forget your promise already? Im an alumni now too. A member of society, yeah?
[?]Assent: Indeed, I did promise. That wed be friends if we met again in society although I never thought wed meet in this manner.
As expected! It was like Miss Trainee Teacher to get it so quickly.
While pointing towards the forest, I asked, Where is this?
The attire of the woman who I had just encountered was exactly like that of an Earthling; however, this ce wasnt Earth no matter how you looked at it. I could only vaguely guess that this wasnt a simple re-test, a regression which began with the wannabe cute Lanuvels Wee, Sir Hero!.
Miss Trainee Teacher answered without reserve.
[?]Exnation: While your graduation was regrettably put on hold, Student Kang Han Soo is an undeniable alumni as well, after all. You graduated at just the right time now. Dont be surprised at hearing thisTadah! This ce is the scene of a festival which only alumni can enter!
It was perhaps something like an alumni association? I could only feel an ill omen.
[?]Introduction: Student Kang Han Soo! Wee to the Hero Festival! Various events and food are prepared, and a generous prize awaits the winner who defeats all the other participating alumni!
Defeat? You mean kill?
[?]Frightened: You can give up like the girl just now! And Im sorry, I spoke wrongly. Theres no need to defeat everyone. The prize will be fairly awarded to thest three survivors, you see, which is why you should form a party with three others, and by the power of love and friendship Student Kang Han Soo? Are you listening?
Mhm. Im listening closely with my ears wide open, Miss Trainee Teacher.
Hero Festival. In order to take three peoples worth of the prize, I had to simultaneously deal with thest remaining three participants apart from me.
[?]Perplexed: How, how did you interpret it that way?
Thanks for the advice, my secret friend. It wouldve been truly terrible if I didnt know!
Chapter 38 - A southeastern wind! A southeastern wind is blowing!
Chapter 38: A southeastern wind! A southeastern wind is blowing!
*Note: I believe the title is a reference to the story of Zhuge Liang summoning the eastern wind.
[?]Exnation: Its been 15 days since the festival began including today. I also helped out heaps with the festival preparations as a trainee teacher, and I really had an awful time back then! Ah! And if you die or give up during the festival, youll only suffer a slight loss in Level and leave the festival, so dont worry too much.
Huh? Wait! Miss Trainee Teacher helped prepare the Hero Festival? Then you should know plenty of good information, right?
[?]Flinch: Th-thats a secret.
Ohe on. Thats heartless, what with our rtionship. Looks like you were speaking empty words when you promised to be my friend.
[?]Changing Subject: Ah! Isnt that snowy mountain that can be seen yonder really great? I got a small feeling that something good might happen at the small spring which can be seen on the straight path over there. Though its probably just in my head!
Right, its all just in your head! Miss Trainee Teacher! But I also just feel like going over to that snowy mountain.

Hero Festival. This massacre event would be hosted once every 4 years until it ended. This was training of a reserve forces under the guise of a festival.
The purpose was to periodically summon and train the alumni who had defeated the Demon King and returned to their home, so that they wouldnt lose their touch. All of the alumni would be summoned, and as you were able to give up immediately, there was nopulsion involved.
[?]Promoting: But only a small minority of heroes give up, and thats because the events we prepared are plenty, and the food that can be found in the various viges and cities are all kinds of delicacies! This is something I can absolutely not tell you about, but the main event prize is really awesome!
Or so she said. But wasnt an interval of 4 years too short? The festivals could ovep if the massacre events didnt end quickly.
[?]Forgot to Mention: Ah! So you didnt know. The time in the dimensions of Fantasia and the festivals flow 10 times faster than the norm. Simply put, you can say that the festivals go on for a maximum of 40 years.
10 times?!
This was information I hadnt at all known about. Professor Morals didnt teach me such things and only prattled on with his preaching! But of course, a bit of the fault did lie with me as well.
While I was strong when it came to subject of biology, I was weak in physics.
Einsteins theory of general rtivity showed that time didnt flow equally, yet I had been adamantly believing that the time here would be flowing at the same speed as on Earth. That was why I hadnt even asked Sieg, who had recently been kidnapped to a fantasy world, what the current date was on Earth.
A sigh escaped my lips.
Stupid! Siegs smartphone case!
If time had flowed at the same speed, then there was no way he would have had a character item of an old-school game which was in trend 10 years agoI had overlooked this truth. In any case, this was definitely good news for me.
11 years of life in a fantasy world that had been an extremely long period of time to me. But my parents would have felt a mere year pass, though the fact that their son had gone missing without a word, whether it be for a year or a day, was a problem in itself. Nevertheless, I was able to feel relieved slightly at least.
So only a year and a month of time has passed on Earth since I went missing. I canfortably think of a year has having repeated an exa Mm? Wait! It cant be wont I officially still be a minor if I returned to Earth now?!
I felt shock and fear.
Hey, the guy who yelled in the forest! Show yourself immediately!
Ah! Perhaps my voice had been too loud.
There were people who hade before me at the small spring which Miss Trainee Teacher had tacitly told me about.
Mr. Wolf, youre being too aggressive right off the bat. Youll sound as if youre picking a fight with the one who cameter.
Thats right, Wolf. Its not good to start a problem in a festival everyone is enjoying.
The youth called Wolf who looked like a bear stood at the fore of a 3-man party. Behind him was anky man and pretty woman who were sticking beside each other like a couple. Judging by the threes looks, they were westerners from Earth. I swiftly examined the Status of the two men and woman, and received a slight shock as a result.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 654
?Job: Monk(FaithPunch)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) Faith(C) Iron Wall(D) Close Quarters Combat(D) Endurance(E)
?Condition: Good
The above was what Wolf, who had a high Status out of the three, amounted to. Just like the woman from a while ago who had run away, aside from Interpretation(A) which was unrted tobat, his Skills didnt even reach the standard of a Level 200 mercenary.
I was in disbelief even after seeing it. Could it be that they were hiding their Skills like I was? This bunch of dirt, who were even more useless than the muppets, were alumni?
[?]Defending: Theyre not so bad as dirt! The Hero Job and Holy Sword are retrieved when students graduate. Its because they didnt manage themselves consistently afterwards that their Skill ranks fell. These people werent dirt from the beginning either.
Miss Trainee Teacher, so youre saying that theyre currently dirt.
[?]Excuse: Student Kang Han Soo! Its not good to make generalizations! There are also alumni who are like big breadcrumbs that are bigger than dirt!
Dirt or breadcrumbs, they were all the same, werent they? But in any case, I had roughly grasped the situation. Job Hero the truth behind that outrageous perk of EXP 500% was that it was meant for education, and Holy Sword 1 which was smeared all over in automatic functions was a training aid. It seemed that when those two things disappeared, only an empty can(Level) would remain like this lot, like the Elf King.
Skill management was immensely easy while a Hero remained a Hero, but the moment they ceased being one, they would need to invest 5 times the effort and time in order to keep things as they were like before. That wouldnt be easy even for me.
What? This punk, hes just Level 1 isnt he? I got nervous for nothing.
Indeed. I wonder how he graduated? Pft!
Wolf, Im sorry. This cant turn into a problem. Kikik.
This bunch of dirt began to sneer upon seeing my Status. The couple that had criticized the aggressive attitude and words of the man called Wolf acted the same way after finding out I was Level 1. Birds of a feather, flock together, was it? It seemed that they werent able to see my Skills just like Sieg, though nothing would improve if even they did.
Is there some problem with my being Level 1?
I looked around the surrounding of the three, and saw a droopy tent that would just barely block out only the wind. Inside it I saw canned food they had brought as provisions. A travel kit and sloppy mindset, which not even a Level 5 greenhorn Hero whod just begun his adventure would have it was as miserable as their Skills.
The Level 654 Monk, Wolf, warned me, Scram while Im talking nicely. Im sparing you because youre a Level 1 thatd give meagre EXP even if killed.
My interest was piqued at his utterance.
EXP?
Thats right.
Does Level rise here as well when you kill?
An impossibly stupid question.
At this kind answer, I responded with a smiling face.
Run away while Im talking bad. Ill kill you because youre a Level 654 with tasty EXP.
Wha-?
I shed sideways with Holy Sword 2 which I had rapidly summoned.
shsplurt!
The head of Wolf, who had been careless due to my being Level 1, flew into the air while spraying blood everywhere. His arms which had been rising up to block the attack in a manner befitting a Monk froze in their tracks, and his headless body fell over a beatte.
Slump.
Kyah?!
Wolf-!
The surprised couple took abative stance; however, dealing with these two was far easierpared to Wolf, and that was thanks to my Level increasing after taking him down.
sh, sh-
Kicking off the ground and dashing forward, I closed the distance within the span of a breath and shed down. Considering that they were a couple, I cut them down simultaneously.
Ill use your EXP well guys! When you go back to Earth, make lots of pretty love while criticizing me!
I prayed for the happiness of this hopeless bunch. Me and my meddling, really
[?]Impressed: Student Kang Han Soo! Youre tremendously strong!
Miss Trainee Teacher, that was a piece of cake.
I was a hero who had even received an SS-grade inbat ability. Were it not for the ipetent Fantasy God picking faults at my normal character, I would have long graduated with top grades.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
The corpses of the 2 men and woman immediately disappeared, while leaving behind their clothing and belongings.
The clothes are somewhat good enough to use. No, anything would be better than the cheap get-up Im in.
But I couldnt bring myself toy a hand on the underwear they had been wearing, including the spares in that shoddy tent. Fortunately, there was some money among their belongings.
Cling.
Although I waspletely clueless regarding the currency and prices used in this festival, it was unlikely that I wouldnt be able to buy a pair of underwear with a gold coin.
Really now! The Hero perk is amazing after all.
It was with this incident that I felt it clearly. Only when you lost something would you realize its importance, was it? I deeply realized how amazing the Job of Hero was.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 102
?Job: Thief(The WeakFortune)
?Skills: Battle Spirit(SSS) Dark Energy(SSS) Massacre(SS) Chaos(SS) Destruction(SS)
?Condition: Good, Holy Sword
I had only collected my rightful spoils of battle, yet by an unfair verdict my Job was changed from Jobless to Thief. In addition, the EXP I gained was despairingly low despite having killed three individuals of around Level 600. Had I been a Hero, I would have at least achieved Level 300. It seemed I wouldnt able to even think of my Skills improving.
Well, whatever.
I just had to put in 5 times the effort, and it wasnt as if there were only disadvantages; a certain Skill, which hadnt been able to shine while my Job was fixed as Hero until now, rose to sudden prominenceFortune(C). It was thanks to my Job changing to Thief. When a Thief was facing against weak individuals, their fortune would go up.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Fortune
?Rank: C
?B: asionally ignore traps.
?C: Luck increases slightly.
?D: Will not die from falls.
?E: asionally dodge unseen arrows.
?F: Luck improves.
Those were the effects of Fortune(C). They were all greatly vague and full of uncertain probabilities, so there was a chance of losing your life if you held blind faith in them. And to make it worse, the Skills proficiency level would only increase when your luck did its work, so how difficult would it be to raise ranks? It would rather be far easier and safer to self-mutte all day long to raise the proficiency of Endurance. However, what if Thief and Holy Sword 2 were added into the equation like seasonings?
?Type: Skill
?Name: Fortune(++)
?Rank: C(++)
?B: Always ignore traps. (++)
?C: Luck increases tremendously. (++)
?D: Safe from falls. (++)
?E: Dodge all unseen arrows. (++)
?F: Luck improves.
The ambiguous Skill effects be definite! Now that I looked at it, it seemed even better than a Heros EXP 500%.
Was Thief this amazing a Job?
While there was the prerequisite that my opponent needed be weaker than myself, if it was as ording to Miss Trainee Teachers exnation, this festival was brimming with the weak. And thats how it was right now as well.
Troooor!
The weak didnt necessarily need to be human. Fortunes effect had risen with the appearance of a Level 100 wild troll. Instead of running away upon discovering me, the troll chose to fight; it charged at me while holding up its long arms in a threatening manner. While its spirit was trulymendable
Crash!
The troll stepped on a pebble nearby the small spring and slipped.
Thump.
And evennded the back of its head on a sharp rock while tripping over!
Troooog~?!
The troll that stood up while expressing pain continued its clownish foolery. Even I couldnt suppress a dryugh when its feet got tangled and it fell into the spring.
Really now
Was this troll for real?
T-trooo
The troll was already reduced to tatters by the time it drew near, without my having to lift a single finger. Just what on earth had this troll been fighting against? It was to the extent that I felt sorry watching.
Stab-
Which was why I pierced its heart with Holy Sword 2 and granted it rest. At this time, something happened which I couldnt have predicted.
Fortune(C)Fortune(B)
The rank of the Skill Fortune, which was infamous for being difficult to raise in proficiency even among other Skills, had risen. And to B-rank at that! It hadnt advanced from a low rank. There was no need to even calcte how much proficiency would be needed to promote the Skill from C-rank to B-rankyour luck would have to shower a waterfalls worth of good happenings on you.
This might be an opportunity?
When the Hero Festival ended, my Job would change from Thief to Hero again, and then the effect of Fortune would fall as well. It wasnt possible to carry around this much luck with the amplification of Holy Sword 2 alone; only when these two elements were together could this kind of miracle be possible. And this fortune was a passive Skill.
Ssh-!
The waters of the small spring churned upwards.
M-mermaid needs saving-! Cough-cough!
One freshwater mermaid feebly climbed to the waterside.
What are you?
I got sudden cramps in my tail, so I nned on only giving it to someone who seduced me with their sweet singing, but this must also be fate. Gentleman over there, could you lend me your hand for a moment?
Hand? Ill turn you into sashimi if you bite.
I wont! Do you think mermaids are piranha?!
The mermaid coughed dryly after momentarily ring up, and gently holding my right hand, she then kissed the back of it. Some of my Skills underwent a change.
Swimming(S)Swimming(SS)
Charm(F)Charm(D)
Blessing(B)Blessing(A)
Aside from these, the proficiency of numerous Skills I had rose by a small degree; Fortune, mor, Song and Dance, Energy, Elegance There were almost no godsent event rewards like this in Fantasias continents, and even those events that did exist gave something extremely meagre. And yet
This festival is epic?
Hero Festival. Could it be that the teaching staff took away Hero from the graduates, and made up for it with an event? The event reward was much too exceptional.
Huhu! Its a blessing given by a mermaid of legend. May only fortune light your future days!
The mermaid, licking her lips which she had kissed my hand with while smiling with her eyes, gracefully dived into the waters to where she lived the moment her tail recovered from the cramp.
Ssh!
The small spring event was cleared on its own.
This wasnt my luck too straightforward?
[?]Proud: Student Kang Han Soo, how was it? Isnt the festivals event reward really amazing?
Indeed. I agreed! It was amazing to the extent of being too good to give away to others. I shouldnt only aim for the massacre event.
In truth, I had felt a slight flutter in my heart at the sight of Earthlings. I wanted to strike up a friendship with them and hear news of Earth. Going a step further, I had even nned on asking them to send my parents my regards in my stead until just a while ago, that is.
The Hero Festival would continue until the final 3 participants remained. In short, as long as 4 people including myself remained alive, the massacre event wouldnt end.
I should quickly eliminate everyone while leaving only three. Its not toote tofortably enjoy the festival afterwards.
ording to Miss Trainee Teacher, various event rewards and plentiful foods(EXP) were prepared; however, the festival had already proceeded for a whole 15 days. As ater, my efforts would only end up in vain if I didnt move a little more diligently than the others. That was the one oue I wanted to avoid.
[?]Tremble: I feel like youre gradually going farther away from the festivals purpose?
Mhm. Youre just imagining it, Miss Trainee Teacher. Im in the middle of actively joining in the event.
While Im at it, Ill aim to rank up Fortune as well. Fortunes E-rank effect, dodge all unseen arrows. Wouldnt its proficiency jump up if I waged war against Elves, who have a high ratio of archers?
Which is why, Miss Trainee Teacher wont you be my navigation?
[?]Persuading: A fair event
I want to go where there are lots of violent Elves and Earthlings. Come on~
[?]Changing Subject: Oh my! A cool southeasterly wind is blowing!
No matter how I measured the angle, this was a southwestern- kind of southeastern wind. In any case, it was blowing from the southeast.
If Trainee Teacher Zhuge says so, then it must be! Okay!
Chapter 39 - Fire in the hole…!
Chapter 39: Fire in the hole!
I ran straight towards the southeast from where a cool wind was blowing. While I did feel as if something was alsoing in from the southwest, it was all my imagination.
[?]Explode: Whats wrong with southeast!
Miss Trainee Teacher, who said anything?
Everything was quite big in the terrain of this continent where the Hero Festival was taking ce. Trees, grass, pebbles, ponds, streams even the small spring where I met the mermaid was the same. Although it was easy to imagine it as the size of a bathtub in which a celestial maiden might strip and bathe in, that small spring wasrge enough to be used for a swimmingpetition.
The Zelkova tree I was seeing before my eyes at present was like soit was immenselyrge. It was as wide and tall as the legendary Tower of Babel. Its top part couldnt be seen clearly as it was covered by thick fog and its branches, but my eyes could discern the people sticking to the uneven bark of the thick tree trunk like cicadas.
Get lost all of you!
Dont push I say! Gasp!
Euaagh~?!
These people were in the midst of climbing the steep trunk of the Zelkova tree; however, they were far from cooperating with one another, overflowing with friendship and loveit was a scene of pandemonium where they shoved and attacked among themselves. Something amazing was definitely at the top of that tree, and that being the case
Grab!
Keh-kekegh?!
I decided to grab hold of Passerby 1 who was going by and ask him a question.
My friend with the hair dyed red, let me ask just one thing. Whats up there at the top that those people are struggling so hard to climb?
I slightly eased my grip on his neck so he could speak.
His windpipe opened, Passerby 1 replied, Cough-cough! You crazy punk! Think Id tell y-
Oops!
Crack!
My hand slipped, and Passerby 1, whose neck was broken as a result, disappeared like a mirage while leaving behind his clothes and belongings, as well as some EXP.
I searched for a new Passerby 2.
Itd be nice if my hand wont slip this time.
Pardon me,dy with the outrageous underwear showing under her short skirt. Itll only be moderately bad for yourself if you look this way instead of pretending not to have heard me.
Hiik?! Yes, yes!
Now, then let me just ask one thing. Whats at the to-
An Elf Kings Tear!
Passerby 2 gave a quick reply, cutting across my question. Apparently she had listened to my conversation with Passerby 1.
Elf Kings Tear it wasnt the tear of that lump of EXP whose loathing towards humans reached the extremeI wouldnt take something like the tear of a coarse man even if given to me. This tear was one of the three hidden treasures of Elfheim Kingdom.
[?]Note: It is a replica, though.
Miss Trainee Teacher then added that the original items couldnt be ced in the festival.
In any case
An Elf Kings Tear is an elixir, made from processing the special amniotic fluid thates out when an eternally living Elf royalty is born, a cure-all of a forever young and undying being! However, as Arch-Elves had abysmal birth rates, the amniotic fluid used in creating an Elf Kings Tear was also greatly rare, which was why it was one of the three hidden treasures of Elfheim and also why Elves guarded it desperately.
Fend off the human intruders!
Stop them from climbing into the sanctum!
Dont save your arrows!
An uncountable number of Elves were lurking on the huge Zelkova tree. They mercilessly shot arrows at the humans climbing up.
Twang! Twang! Twang!
Aargh?! My eye-!
There are too many arrows!
The people were hit by the Elves arrows and fell below the tree.
It was at this time that I came to know of one surprising truth.
Euah, auh
Over here, there was the unfortunate Human A who was dying due to falling.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 586
?Job: Magician(AgeMagic Power)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) Magic(C) Elementalism(D) Blessing(E) Charm(E)
?Condition: Poisoned, Bleeding, Fracture
Human A couldnt even use a single flight spell properly and had fallen to the ground despite being a Magicianto say it was because of the poison smeared on the Elves arrowheads would be no more than an excuse. It was at this moment that the cute-looking Human B approached.
Ill cure you!
The warm light emitted From Human Bs hand suffused throughout Human As body; the injury which was so horrible as to show bone was healed within the span of a breath, and
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 581
?Job: Magician(AgeMagic Power)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) Magic(C) Elementalism(D) Blessing(E) Charm(E)
?Condition: Good
Human As Level dropped by a whole 5!
If Human B hadmitted a brutal deed like that to me, then I would have made the other side repent by suffering from a herniated waist disc until death, yet Human As attitude was the exact opposite.
Thank you for saving me!
Not minding his own Level, Human A thanked Human B. What was he thankful about after giving a vast amount of EXP as the healing fee? I couldnt understand.
Dont mention it. I wish you good luck.
But Human B, who took that as if it was a matter of course, saw Human A off with a business smile, pushing at his back so that he would quickly end up injured again while fighting.
[?]Touched: A wonderful coboration, isnt it?
Miss Trainee Teacher, I think one more of this wonderful scene will end up killing a person?
It was an awfully shocking sight.
So thats why the Level of the graduates were low
Upon graduating, only your Job and the Holy Sword would be retrieved, while the core of a Status, Level and Skills, would remain. Yet why? The state of all the graduates was a mess. Granted that their Skills might have be reduced to shambles as they stopped being a Hero, but their low Level which didnt even reach 999 didnt stand to reason. However, it was after witnessing that coboration from just before that I came to a realization.
Hah! Assholes like Sieg are hanging about everywhere!
A surprising magic that made you weak upon going adventuring!
Only Human B was done a favor in the previous scene.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Healer(AgeHeal)
?Skills: Heal(SS) Interpretation(A) Charm(B) Health(B) Business(C)
?Condition: Good
A Status specialized for healing only!
Unlike those withbat upations who lost Levels the more they fought, the Level of Human B, who had been harvesting EXP safely from the rear line, was normal. And Human B wasnt the only one like this.
Ill cure you!
Ill run to wherever theres a patient!
It hurts, right? Endure it just a little!
I saw many Level 999 Healers running about like army doctors. There seemed to be more of them than the patients.
What a sickening sight.
Tap.
I summoned forth Holy Sword 2.
I had toiled for a whole 11 years to escape from this barbaric world, but the pathetic sight of these assholes called graduates went beyond my imagination. What had I been trying so hard for all that time? I couldnt admit that I was lesser than this bunch.
And so I was going to remove them.
Fwipfwipfwip
I swung Holy Sword 2 towards where the healers and patients were gathered. It didnt matter even if my opponents were Level 999; it wouldnt even require breaking a sweat to dice up paper bodies that foolishly raised only Heal without defensive Skills such as Endurance.
I hacked at the area of a skiing grounds using Massacre(SS).
Keuurgh?!
Wh-whats goingkugh?!
Kyagh?!
The entire area at the base of the tree, where the event to fight for the Elf Kings Tear was in a full swing, was dyed crimson with the blood and flesh of humans. This cruel scene onlysted for a moment, however.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
The graduates who were judged to have died were expelled from the festival.
I, I give!
Give up!
Hik?! I give up!
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Those who had luckily escaped the range of Massacre(SS) or withstood it also quickly shouted their intent to give up and made their exit.
The previously bustling event location became quiet.
[?]Flustered: All the dirt was swept away by the southeasterly wind
Oh! Miss Trainee Teacher, thats a tasteful way of putting it.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 376
?Job: Thief(The WeakFortune)
?Skills: Battle Spirit(SSS) Dark Energy(SSS) Massacre(SS) Chaos(SS) Destruction(SS)
?Condition: Wild, Frenzy, Berserk, Holy Sword 2
I no longer needed the indistinctive Hero perk, since Level would rise in no time if you went hunting with 5 times the effort. My Condition was a trivial issue, so it was nothing to pay mind to. Now, for the Elf Kings Tea
Who are you?
sh-
I reflexively swung Holy Sword 2 at hearing the polite voice of a youth which sounded from very close by. I once again pulled taut my nerves which had slightly rxed.
I failed to notice somebodys presence?
This was normally something impossible; however, the ce I was at wasnt normalthe Hero Festival. It was a venue of festivities where all the heroes who had defeated Demon King Pedonar were squeezed into. It would be nonsense to say there wouldnt be a single hero with superiorbat ability among them, and that really was the truth.
The person who dodged my attack was a brilliantly shining gem among the dirt.
?Race: Grand Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Monarch(VassalsOmnipotence)
?Skills: Swordsmanship(SSS) Divinity(SS) Leadership(SS) Endurance(S) Immunity(S)
?Condition: Constetion, Blessing, Demon Sword, Doping, Divine Protection
Even his Status was surprising, a beautiful banquet of Skills that came close to my standard in the 1st ythrough. It was a wonder as to how he was maintaining the proficiency of so many Skills without the Job Hero. The answer was likely Omnipotence. And that Grand Human Race also caught my attention as it was a Race I didnt know of.
I could ask the same?
Haha! An interesting person I see, to think that you dont know my face. I can tell it hasnt been long since you graduated, as you wouldnt be running so wild otherwise! This isnt a fantasy world that only exists for yourself. It is maintained by rules and order. In addition, there are also punishments.
Tuk.
The man then summoned forth an antique-looking bronze sword; it was the Demon Sword marked in his Condition. I was also very familiar with that sword.
Thats Sword King Alexs exclusive weapon, isnt it?
It was the Demon Sword which had always hung by the Sword Kings waist like a loverHoly Demon Sword, Swordmaster! It was possible to obtain it by using pure swordsmanship to defeat the guardian Sword God, who had lived crazily for the sword and ended up truly going insane. Vexing though it was, I had failed to obtain it, as I didnt have the mad talent to achieve mastery in one specialty.
Haha! I am spec
Puhwak-
The mans handsome head flew up into the air.
I detest long-winded men. Right?
[?]At A Loss: You even cut through his weapon? Then even outstanding swordsmanship would be useless. Though the gentleman who got done in would feel very bewildered and aggrieved.
Pah! If you feel aggrieved, then why dont you use a better weapon than Holy Sword 2!
Kyah?! Sir Kim Man Cheon~?!
Our guild master was finished in a single-?!
What? The Sword Saint was defeated?!
My god! Mr. Kim Man Cheon was!
The onlookers who had been peeping by the sides kicked a fuss. It was definitely no coincidence that the ratio of young and pretty woman among them seemed extremely high. He was a monarch who knew romance, apparently?
Thats the reason for your defeat! Monarch A!
Everyone~ Was the festival enjoyable? Now its time to pass on the baton and return home to sleep~??
*
*
*
I nicely cated the onlookers who insisted on staying and sent them all home. Even though I couldnt go back despite wanting to they were idiots that didnt appreciate the importance of home.
This woman before me was thest of them.
Sir Kim Man Cheon will never forgive yKyauh?!
I gave a pretty sh between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae of the woman, who foretold a boring revenge tragedy in a harshly sharp voice.
Mhm. Buzz off to your beloved sweetheart.
Son of a b-
Pop!
There had been a remarkable number among the women who wore outfits that clearly showed off their slender hips and creamy thighs. There was a high ratio that chose to wear ck fis stockings and garter belts too. Perhaps their style reflected Monarch As preferences? It was easy to cut them as their defenses were poor.
It would still be nice if they put on something, though. Are they looking down on people? Or could it be they cant distinguish actual fighting from cosying?
Well, in any case.
The area of the huge tree had be quiet.
[?]Sigh: My senior might end up crying if he saw this lonely sight. He really worked hard preparing the event to fight for the Elf Kings Tear
Miss Trainee Teacher, theres no need to feel so sad. Because Im taking over this event.
Stop! Human!
If youe any closer Eyah!
Thwish-!
An Elf shot an arrow at me as I leisurely climbed up the tree, not simply as a warning shot but with the intent to kill. I neither dodged nor blocked the iing arrow, however; there was no need for that at all.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Fortune(++)
?Rank: B(++)
?A: The energy of the universe lends aid asionally.
?B: Always ignore traps. (++)
?C: Luck increases tremendously. (++)
?D: Safe from falls. (++)
?E: Dodge all unseen arrows. (++)
?F: Luck improves.
Under the divine protection of Fortune(B), no arrowhead made its mark on me.
Shoot that human!
All unitsmence firing!
Protect the treasure!
The several thousands of violent Elves, who had been lurking in various spots on the huge Zelkova tree, began to rain down arrows.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
But I remained fine without a scratch. All the arrows unbelievably brushed past my body. Their trajectories would bend due to a sudden gust, or the arrows would collide against each other during flight and fall apart. There were even cases of bow limbs breaking or bow strings snapping. The causes for the arrows missing were truly various.
Hng~ Heung~?
I reached the ce where the Elf Kings Tear was stored without a fight. The proficiency of Fortune shot up as my luck activated repeatedly. This would have been impossible had my Job been Hero. And then atst
Fortune(B)Fortune(A)
The energy of the universe permeated my body.
[?]Mourning: Senior. Your event is turning weird
Pop.
I opened the lid of the ss bottle containing the Elf Kings Tear and drank it. While it was a replica, its effect was quite significant.
Mm?
Whats that? Something huge dropping fast this way
Craash-!
A meteor crashed onto the top of the Zelkova tree, on which the Elves were jumping aboutthe event site and those rted to it disappeared without leaving a trace.
The energy of the universe was amazing!
[?]Silent Prayer: Senior
Miss Trainee Teacher, will you end your praying quickly?
I was looking at the earth from which the huge Zelkova tree was burnt out of existence; something that looked like a secret tunnel came into my sight which lead down towards where the tree roots were. Was it an extension of the event?
[?]Puzzled: Im not sure. It was Senior who set all the Elves as archers, saying that the festival preparations were bothersome. Theres no way he would have put in such an borate setting
That so?
I promptly jumped down into the pitch-dark hole.
Lets try believing in the energy of the universe.
Chapter 40 - I’ve got 11 years of Hero-ing under my belt!
Chapter 40: Ive got 11 years of Hero-ing under my belt!
I absentmindedly dropped down the pitch-dark hole. I felt like a skydiver who had jumped off a ne forgetting his parachute.
Clomp.
Nevertheless I safelynded at the bottom. While my superior physique yed a part in this, thergest contributor was Fortunes D-rank effect of Safe from falls..
I saw it through the unfathomable darkness, a magnificent structure built in an empty space sorge it was unbelievable that this was underground. The structure should be called a pce, perhaps.
It appeared that the huge Zelkova tree nted above it had been pressing down on this pce, while its roots had dug inside and widened the cracks along its walls; however, this wasnt the part that was drawing my attention.
Its a strangely familiar pce design.
I had never gotten such a feeling from the architectural styles of the various races and countless cultures I had seen in the continents of Fantasia, and that was because this structure before me had an Eastern vor of Earth to it.
Koreas Gyeongbok Pce, Japans Himeji Castle, Chinas Forbidden City From the tiles on the roof, window, to the murals on the walls, it felt like everything good was taken and mixed in. Or was it the opposite? This here was the original, while the ones on Earth were fake? Whatever the case, I got a gut feeling the moment I saw it.
Im sick of journeys finding out the secret or truth of the world, though
I had 11 years of Hero-ing under my belt, and I had plenty of experience digging up all kinds of trivial truths. While they were grandiosely wrapped up using the word legend or myth, when you got down to actually opening them up, many of them turned out to be either childish or empty facts.
And wasnt the very representation of this the Hero of legend? The natives of the fantasy world firmly believed that the Hero chosen by their god was an amazing human, but in reality these heroes were no more than social rejects of Earth kidnapped to be recycled. When you took away the Job perk and Holy Sword from a Hero, all that remained would be a corpse.
Except for me, that is!
[?]Startled: I never heard such an enormous building was buried beneath the festival continent!
Huh? Wait. Miss Trainee Teacher doesnt know about this either?
[?]Affirmation: Yes. I didnt know at all.
A ce that even an absolute figure rted to the teaching staff didnt know of. Perhaps she wasnt able to inspect it due to being a temporary teacher and not an official one; however, regardless, it was suspicious without a doubt. Something that was hidden or that isnt known even by the teaching staffthis reason alone made it worth looking into.
Shall I make an entrance to start off with
I gave a hard kick at the pce walls.
Crash-!
While it was quite sturdy for an old pce, it wasnt to the extent of withstanding my leg strength enhanced by all sorts of Skills; a rather good entrance was made.
[?]Flustered: Student Kang Han Soo?! The entrance is right over there in the open though?!
Tsk-tsk. Miss Trainee Teacher, listen well. Thats a one-dimensional approach.
From time immemorial, grave robbing was a specialty of Heroes. Especially if something caught my eye, whether it be some jar of gold, I would sweep up everything down to thest coin.
In the case of a ruins like this that was neglected for long, there was bound to be intact traps and watchmen dispatched in severalyers at the entrance. There was no reason to insist on going to find them myself.
Hng~ Hnng~??
Humming a song to myself, I entered the pce through the freshly made entrance.
Right off the bat I saw something of a forked path before my nose; one heading right, and one left. There was no friendly warning sign, and as the paths were symmetrical, there was no hint or clue to base my judgement on. The chances of not going around in circles was fifty-fifty.
I fell into thought, stroking my chin.
So its a ssicbyrinth style?
I could deeply sense the malice of the maker behind this, the intent to defeat the visitors who came aiming for a jackpot through deception and stress. I too was victim to this sort of thing countless times in the 1st ythrough.
[?]Advice: Life is a series of big and small choices. You cant advance towards the future if you hesitate fearing failure. Student, Kang Han Soo, have courage. Ill be cheering you on by your side!
Thanks, energetic Miss Trainee Teacher.
Indeed, it was as she said. It wouldnt do to fear failure, and yet I had been worrying and hesitating until now at the possibility of this pce, which gave off the air of holding an amazing secret of the world, copsing.
I might as well start reflecting from now on.
[?]Question: Uh, Student Kang Han Soo? What exactly to you mean by copsing?
After summoning Holy Sword 2, I answered through action instead of words.
Shooong
The jet-ck aura of Dark Energy(SSS) began to envelop Holy Sword 2s crimson de, and an immense force amassed at its center.
As the effects of my offensive-type Skills piled atop one another, giving rise to a series of synergistic effects, Holy Sword 2 further amplified it all, and for some reason even the energy of the universe joined in. My Level was also sufficient thanks to hunting Monarch A and the other rabble.
This is my choice.
I thrust Holy Sword 2 forward in a stab.
Paaang-
The force of Dark Energy(SSS) extended forward in a straight line, and like a bulldozer, that jet-ck energy relentlessly pushed through the pce walls, monuments and the like which were blocking the way.
Pong! Crash! Boom! Pang!
A wide tunnel was formed as tens ofyers of walls were prated.
I was going to go by the 3rd choice.
[?]Disconcerted: Eh This is a choice too I suppose. While it wont be the adventure of mystery intended by the nner who built this pce
Look here, Miss Trainee Teacher. Adventures are for the weak. Only those punks incapable of using the straightforward tactic of destroying thebyrinth cling to vague hopes as if gambling, saying, Itll turn out well somehow. Thats exactly Siegs way of thinking.
I wonder whats be of that guy around about now?
Right when the 4th ythrough began, Sieg had fainted after taking a blow to the chin from me. Perhaps he was bewildered by going directly over to the 5th ythrough after having fallen fast asleepnow that would be a bit funny.
[?]Gratified: While you may pretend otherwise, Student Kang Han Soo is very considerate I see. To think youd worry for your ssmate. Its said that friendship is love without its wing
Wait! Miss Trainee Teacher!
[?]Reply: Yes? Please speak.
Friendship with Sieg? Love? Dont go off anywhere spouting such horror! If the teaching staff misunderstand and stick me with Sieg again, my blood pressure might just explode.
Miss Trainee Teacher, did you get what I said? Ill spread rumors that youre a man if you dont understand properly.
[?]Shock: Im not a man I tell you!
That aint my concern. A Heros specialty is grave robbing, while incitement and fabrication his hobbies.
*
*
*
I followed along the third path and headed straight inside a temple. Although I saw works of art and antiques scattered about which seemed like theyd be sold for quite a bit, I abandoned the thought as it was said the things obtained during the festival couldnt be let outside. Of course, there were exceptions to this.
ording to Miss Trainee Teacher:
1) Level EXP
2) Skill proficiency
3) Event rewards
These three things would remain in possession, which was why I gave up on my small material desire and swiftly advanced towards the deep regions of the pce.
[?]Peek: Arent you hurrying too much?
Mhm, I am hurrying.
It would be a lie to say that the pces Eastern architectural style wasnt interesting; however, even at this moment the scum outside were diligently targeting my event rewards. I was absolutely not allowed to forget this factthere was no time at all to dawdle.
Sure isfortable since I can ignore traps with Fortunes effec-
Click.
A device activated upon detecting my movement.
Huh? Strange. It should be normal to ignore traps?
Upon analyzing the cause, it turned out that unbeknownst to my right hand, my left hand had been holding onto an expensive diamond. It seemed that my left hand had activated the trap by tantly touching it. Haha! This sly leftie of mine.
Ow Ow!
Ow Ooow!
The iron cells built in various spots in the temple opened, and 5 monsters let out queer screams as they pounced towards me.
Even these things appeared to be quite Eastern like the pce.
?Race: Ogre
?Level: 947
?Job: Champion(CrisisFighting Skill)
?Skills: Iron Fist(B) Deadly Venom(B) Fighting Skill(C) Berserk(C) Immortal(D)
?Condition: Thawing, Frenzy, Agitation, Fury
Ogres, or if called in the native way at home, goblins. These were humanoid monsters with sharp horns protruding from their forehead. Their average height was 5m, their four limbs were as thick as a drum barrel, and their tough-looking bodies would remind you of a dump truck.
Unlike crafty trolls, ogres were very much stupid; theycked the very thought of tactics or cooperation. In exchange, their natural bornbat instinct and physique could be considered top-level among all monsters. Their hobby was to eat men.
Ow Ow-!
An ogre whose eyes were bloodshot crimson threw a punch the size of an electric rice cooker at me.
Its obviously not meant for the festival.
These fellows were stronger than normal ogres. Their Levels alone far exceeded that of an ogres average Level of 300. If just 100 of the ogres in this temple were released on the surface, then the Hero Festival would transform into their tasting party; Hero BBQ, Hero Stew, Hero Bacon Thats how powerful these ogres were.
SlicePuhwak!
Of course, that was speaking from the perspective of scum. With a light caress of Holy Sword 2, the 5 ogres were all bisected and copsed to the dusty earth just like that.
Ow
Ow Ow
The ogres, famous for their tenacious vitality, breathed theirst one after another and turned into EXP. I didnt confirm their deaths one by one, but instead quickly passed through the area. There was no need to stop due to running across some ants during a stroll, was there?
I ran into three more of such interferences.
My experiences and intuition told me that I had arrived at my destination.
It must be here.
The decoration alone of the firmly shut grand doors before me was dazzling. There was bound to be a treasure or boss monster of the temple inside.
[?]Suggestion: Student Kang Han Soo, dont you think youre being too hasty? They say you should knock even on a strong stone bridge before crossing.
Really now! Miss Trainee Teacher, Ive done 11 years of Hero-ing. Grave robbing is my specialty, got it?
[?]Pout: Yes.
Seeing how Miss Trainee Teacher didnt seem to be able to believe me even after saying this much, I decided to show a light demonstration.
I lightly jumped on the spot, twice.
One, two, one, two~??
I shook my pelvis to the left and right, matching the rhythm; this was an exercise to lightly stretch the waist so as to prevent a herniated disc. Afterwards, I pulled my right foot back, and thenunched it forwards with all my might. This kick was acknowledged 4 times in a row by Demon King Pedonarits power and performance were impable.
Crash-!
The enormous doors were destroyed like cardboard.
Gasp! Who is it!
Bingo.
There was a boss in the room as I had expected; an Elf male who appeared very much simr to the Elf King. I could already feel the wickedness oozing from his very genes. My 11 years of experience whispered to me: thats definitely the incarnation of evil.
The wicked boss who had been sitting on his throne shot to his feet and shouted, That sword, could it be!
He seemed to know of Holy Sword 2, a joyful news which I hadnt expected at all, because Demon King Pedonar had left some profound bait saying, Show Holy Sword 2 to the Oblivion Dragon King, before his death. In the 4th ythrough I took down the Demon King straightaway and it ended, yet it was in an unexpected ce that I discovered a clue to the sword.
You know about this Holy Sword?
Of course! I am extremely well aware.
Hooh.
But O Hero, how is it that you havee this far alone? I do not see my daughter who went out to receive you at the pce entrancGuegh?!
Smack-!
After leading the boss line of sight onto Holy Sword 2, I threw a hard blow at his slender jaw. This was but the beginning, however. Cut! Stab! And pummel!
It wouldve been real dangerous if I didnt know.
K-keuh O Hero, why do you attack?
Why?
I had obtained extremely important information from the boss wordsthat there was another monster simr to him.
?Race: Chaos Elf
?Level: 999+
?Job: Deposed King(Fame=Authority)
?Skills: Elementalism(SSS) Archery(SS) Oblivion(SS) Blessing(SS) Perseverance(SS)
?Condition: Seal, Astonishment, Confusion, Panic, Shock
This was the boss Status. It was on a different league from the pathetic Elf King who lost his wife to the Demon King. They were only simr in appearance. The ranks and make up of the boss Skills were at a terrifying level. Perhaps the one relief was that his defensive Skills were rtively lower ranked.
I could handle going one-on-one against him, but two of such opponents would be impossible. So
Shut it and die already!
I had to take the boss down while he was alone before his darned daughter, who was supposedly lurking at the pce entrance, noticed something was up.
O-O Hero! Let us talk for just a moment!
Fallen to a disadvantage, the boss insisted on talking peacefully; however, I knewthe moment I let my heart soften at his offer of peace and showed an opening, the boss who was pretending to be aggrieved would close his mouth cleanly and counter-attack.
Now wasnt the time to hesitate. The boss darned daughter could be on her way back. I would be disadvantaged the more I dragged out the time.
[?]Confused: I did take a rough scan through your student record, but what kind of experience did Student Kang Han Soo gather during those 11 years?
Me? I lived amidst the deception and backstabbing of mypanions!
I wont be fooled anymore.
Kuh! How could one called Hero be so rash-
Slump.
His heart pierced through by Holy Sword 2, the boss life came to an end.
My Level shot up.
ED
And ck-Box advanced in rank as well.
Hmm. Is there some connection between races of simr attribute?
Chaos Dragon.
Chaos Titan.
Chaos Mermaid.
Chaos Elf.
I could no longer pass it off as coincidence. If only to oppose the Fantasy God who only let retards graduate, this was worth investigating. But where would it be good to start
My father the King, I did not see the Hero who released the seal on the underground priso My father!?
It seemed like I could get investigating right away.
Chapter 41 - The boss’ daughter
Chapter 41: The boss daughter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Turning around towards the entrance from where I heard the grief-filled voice of thedy assumed to be the boss daughter, I kicked off into a dash. We needed no conversation, and neither did I have the intention to make excusesI was the sworn enemy who had murdered her own father! I didnt hope for understanding and forgiveness.
A righteous war? War is the trash that destroys the family and peace of others, and the Hero is the waste matter that beautifies it.
I didnt let go of the boss daughters distracted opening created by the shock of her family members death; I took this chance to swing Holy Sword 2.
Shwing-!
But cut only air.
Wha-?
The Elf evaded my surprise attack with a movement like that of an invertebrate; her slender arms and legs swayed about in a refined manner. Her wasp waist, questionable as to whether it even had space to hold her internal organs, bent over like a marite doll.
Negative pole against negative pole, positive pole against positive pole, like two same sides of a ma, Holy Sword 2s de and the Elfs skin didnt make contact and ever continued to brush past one another. We werent shooting some action movie, but it was merely that my attack was failing to deal an effective blow to her; thats how swift, flexible and slender the boss daughter was. And she would even counter-attack at times!
ng! ng!
The weapon being used by the boss daughter was a rapier, one of the choice weapons favored by the delicate Elves due its light de; however, it was my first timeing across an Elf who could maximize that characteristic like now.
One blow! Even though a single hit would decide it! It was so difficult tond that one strike.
This is strange?
Feeling a chill along my spine, I immediately viewed her Status.
?Race: Chaos Elf
?Level: 999+
?Job: Knight(LoyaltyFortitude)
?Skills: Agility(SSS) Five Senses(SS) Charm(SS) Fortitude(SS) Swordsmanship(SS)
?Condition: Seal, Horror
A dryugh escaped my lips the moment I saw it. Her Agility was SSS-rank? Could this woman have lived 24 hours, 365 days doing nothing but yoga? While it was called Agility, it didnt simply make your body faster; it also made your joints flexible.
Furthermore, the Elves who were born with stick-like figures were on the significantly flexible side even without Skills. Though it was a w that there were no ce to grab onto either!
The boss daughter took her racial characteristic to the utmost limit.
Are you really a Hero?
While I was taking a rough look at the rest of her Skills, she abruptly opened her mouth to ask me this. Not losing, I returned tit for tat.
And what about you being like a jellyfish?
Perhaps it was because she hadnt seen the sun for a long time, but this Elfs hair was white with a touch of silver, and her skin went beyond milky-white and was opalescent. And added to that the way her body swayed about truthfully speaking, it was somewhat gross.
Why is a Hero being hostile towards us?
Because Im weaker?
A conversation would only be established when either sides were equal, or when I was stronger. That was my survival strategy, and would remain so for the future toe as well.
What nonsensical logic
I dont hope to be understood.
Our battle dragged on long enough for us to be able to exchange words in-between. While the Elfs evasion technique was indeed first-rate, the biggest reason for this stalemate was that all my attacks against her were shallow. This was because I couldnt kill the boss daughter.
Needless to say, I had killed the boss. The only event character that could tell me of the worlds truth was the Elf in front of my eyesI couldnt let my efforts end in vain aftering this far.
Overpowering her, however, was extremely hard. I wanted to sever the Elfs four limbs and render her powerless, yet her movements akin to an invertebrate didnt allow my Holy Sword 2s sharp de to make contact. As for her torso which was thergest target? I couldnt even muster the thought to cut and stab there, as I felt she would die from a fatal wound if I were to even slightly touch her. That being the case
Purk-
I intentionally let myself be stabbed by the Elfs rapier. Although its thin de became stuck in my body, my luck activated and it avoided all my important organs and muscles. In short, the damage was trifling.
In that state I gave a hard squeeze of my muscles. The density of my muscr fibre reinforced by the power of biology was on the extremely high side; I could hold even the sharpest of the finest swords, if only for a moment.
Damn!
Having noticed my intent, the boss daughter let go of the rapiers hilt. She rapidly retreated backwards, and stretched out her hand towards another sword nearby which was decorating the wall of the room on a hanger. I had predicted that much, however; if using chopsticks was difficult, then you only had to eat using your hand.
Grab!
If it wasnt possible to cut the Elf with a de due to her swiftness and flexibility, then I just had to roughly grab hold and restrain her to prevent escape.
I finally caught you, wench!
Kyagh?!
With both arms spread wide, I dragged the Elfs slim body into my embrace, and even locked the fingers of my hands so as to allow no chance of escape.
We tumbled across the ground, our flesh entangled.
But even in the midst of this the Elfs Agility(SSS) activated; her body, which I was certain to have captured, began to slip out of my grasp like a snake. Wasnt this a cheat at this point? It felt like trying to bare-handedly hold onto a loach smeared in sesame oil. I hurriedly moved my limbs and prevented her escape. But of course
Smack-!
Kuagh-?!
The boss daughter didnt simply take things lying down; she tightly clenched her child-like hand in an adorable manner and thrashed my face, and so hard did she strike that my nose started bleeding in one goa strength unbing of that thin body of hers! This Elfs Level was even more monstrous than her Skills.
But I was no pushover in that regard either, on the side of Skills instead of Level!
I immediately took revenge.
Whump.
I rammed my knee into her lower belly.
Urgh!
The mouth of the boss daughter opened, letting loose a short scream, but that wasnt enough to stop the movements of the Knight, whose body was overwhelmingly sturdier than that of the Deposed King who was a spellcaster-type. The more I fought back, her resistance only grew more violent rather than weak. This being the case, I decided to conquer the most sensitive part of an Elf.
Tup, tup.
I grabbed hold of her pointy ears with both hands.
Aueng~?!
A bewitching moan came from the boss daughter. To a human it would have been at the level of a finger-flick punishment, but to Elves their ears were tremendously meaningful and important sensory organs, to the extent that they would utterly lose their mind if exposed to stimtion. Thats why this point was often made use of when torturing Elves.
Surrender.
Wuh, auh
Huhu. I wonder how long you canst?
I seated my behind on top of the copsed Elfs narrow waist. No matter how strong she was, she was as good as finished as long as her ears were caught.
Now! Go on and surrender already!
Euh, auhYah!
It was in the midst of my swaggering that I received an unexpected blow.
Kuagh?!
Its a bit strong this time?!
Smack! Smack!
The Elfs dainty fists struck my face and underbelly. While I felt no pain thanks to endorphins, a terrifying impact hit my Treasure 1. To think this kind of weakness appeared due to closing the distance!
[?]At A Loss: This is the scene of a crime no matter how anyone sees it? And of course the assant is Student Kang Han Soo.
Miss Trainee Teacher! How can there be something like that in a fight!
Now I was mad too.
I suddenly shifted my hands from the Elfs ears to her cheeks, and after gripping her face in ce so that she couldnt turn her head, butted her cool forehead.
Wham-!
A beautiful bone-echoing sound followed, and the limbs of the Elf that were struggling hard fell powerlessly limp.
Subjugationplete.
Uhuhuhu!
Laughter burst out of me.
Should I ask about the secret of the world? Or about Holy Sword 2 first? I felt it wouldnt be bad to proceed with that after finishing conversing with our bodies. I fell into happy ponderings.
Hiik?! Y-you cant!
The boss daughter, who had recovered from the concussion in no time due to her high Level and Skills recovery ability, trembled hard as she expressed her unwillingness. But she didnt resist as violent as she did before. Was it due to having touched her sensitive ears so much? Her face was deep red.
Lady, what thought did you have in mind? Could it be?
Th-thats not it!
Hehe. Youre quite open unlike an Elf!
I, I only read about it in a boo Uurh
The atmosphere surrounding us suddenly changed from one of killing to romance. Was this woman feeling attracted to the man who had murdered her own father? It was possible this was a high-level honey trap.
But it was right at that moment
Ahem!
Something like an exaggerated dry cough of a man sounded from behind us. The voice was, for some reason, familiar to me. I furtively turned only my head to check the mans voiceand was stunned.
Impossible! You clearly should have died!
The boss was standing behind me with an extremely troubled face. It was my first time experiencing a bizarre turn of events where a boss, whom I killed for certain and even gained EXP from, came back to life, and that was because EXP equaled poweryou would only die again if you revived in a weakened stateyet this boss hade back. The traces of the cuts and stabs I inflicted on him remained here and there on his clothes like scars, but the flesh underneath was intact. Then how about his Status?
?Race: Grand Elf
?Level: 999+
?Job: Shaman(Blessing=Elementalism)
?Skills: Elementalist(SSS) Archery(SS) Oblivion(SS) Blessing(SS) Perseverance(SS)
?Condition: Seal
Madness!
The boss had grown stronger as his Job changed. He had also recovered from the wrecked state he was put in by my surprise attack, and that his race had changed from Chaos to Grand was anotherrge surprise.
The boss began to speak first, wearing an all-knowing expression.
O Hero, no one will die within this underground prison. One wille to life automatically as time passes.
This is an underground prison?
Indeed. Here is a hell of uninterrupted suffering where rest is not permitted. The ancestors of my kin living above this ce imprisoned my daughter and I here. While we may be father and daughter, it has truly been a difficult period of endurance. If I did not prefer big ones Ahem! Anyhow, O Hero! Will you not agree to talk now?
The boss unchanging attitude moved my heart. I couldnt confirm right away whether it was all deception, but the revived boss hadnt targeted my back even while his own daughter was under attack. This at least was a certain truth. He was different from my 1st ythroughpanions.
Well, fine.
I happened to have many questions in mind as it was. In particr, I wanted to know about ck-Box.
?Type: Skill
?Name: (+)
?Rank: D(+)
?C:
?D: Will never be confused. (+)
?E: Cannot ever be destroyed. (+)
?F: Will never forget. (+)
It was dangerous to put your entire wealth into an uncertain investment, and the same went for this ck-Box. Although it was in the middle of developing well on its own, I was curious whether it could be used as a lethal knife against the teaching staff and grader.
I slowly drew away from the boss daughter, whom I had barely overpowered. I had gone around in a veryrge circle indeed, and it was all because of this darned Elf father and daughter.
[?]Ludicrous: Student Kang Han Soo. If you think about it, whose fault was it all? Things would have turned out well and good had you entered from the front door normally I tell you
I casually turned a deaf ear to the lecturing of Miss Trainee Teacher, puffed up triumphantly, and dragged over a chair that was nearby to sit on.
Boss. Sum up only the key points so as to be easily understood, please.
I was ready to listen to the truth.
O Hero, my name is
Boss K. Were both busy people, you and I, so lets cut the self-introduction, quickly exchange only the beneficial information and part ways.
Boss K heaved a sigh before replying.
I have lived a time of eternity as the 3rd Elf King, but it is truly my first time seeing a Hero so impatient as you are.
And you got a problem with that?
If it is a problem
Rumble
The entire pce began to shake.
Boss K looked up at the ceiling as he continued in a murmuring voice.
None, O Hero of this generation. Consideration and patience was only natural in our time, but it appears the times have changed.
I could also feel the vibrationsing from above, a sudden event breaking out that would dy smooth progressing. My brows knitted into a frown despite myself.
Boss K, has an intrudere?
Indeed, O Hero. They have noticed that the seal upon this underground prison keeping my daughter and I locked up has be undone.
Dont use pronouns.
These barbarians didnt know the basics of exining.
Pro- what?
Im saying properly tell me who they are.
Having finally understood, Boss K replied in a voice of resentment.
O Hero of this generation, I do not know how they are called in this era. But this is what we called them
He uttered their name with contempt injected into his tone.
Angels.
What was mentioned was the name of the obscure race, which I did not manage to run into even in the adventures during my 1st ythrough which hadsted the longest.
Chapter 42 - O Hero! Please take care of my daugh… Kegh?!
Chapter 42: O Hero! Please take care of my daugh Kegh?!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Rumble
The shaking of the pce further intensified due to an external impact. This wasnt the time to be leisurely talking with Boss K. Whether the other side came over, or vice versa, we would end up meeting very soon.
I once again summoned forth Holy Sword 2, and surrounded my entire body with the powers of SSS-rank Dark Energy and Battle Spirit.
Well then, shall we have a look at this angels face?
Well also
Its fine. Just dont end up dying.
I rejected the Elf father and daughters intention to work together, as I didntpletely trust in them. Too many times, to a sickening extent, had I made the mistake of making early judgements after only listening to one side of a story in the 1st ythrough. To put it bluntly, this parent and child duo could be heinous criminals. What if they had received the verdict of a life sentence because theymitted too big a wrong? Then the conclusion would be that the ones breaking in right now would be in the right.
Ow Ow~!
Ow Ow ooo~
The ogres that discovered me came over attacking in a group. I had no time to y with this lot, however; I simply ignored and passed them by as even the time spent cutting them down would be a waste.
Crash-!
But the intruders didnt seem to have the same thought.
Ow Ow oo~?!
Ow Ow~?!
The ogres, pierced through by a sort of light, were killed in swathes.
Pssss
Contrary to Boss Ks exnation of how you would never die within this underground prison, the corpses of the ogres done in by that light disappeared without a trace.
I gazed towards the direction from where that problematic light had shot over from. Before all else, however, I had to confirm something.
Miss Trainee Teacher, do you know about the nature of the angels?
[?]Answer: Of course I do! They are beings of a contrasting attribute to demons. This is between you and me, but if the graduate who defeats the Demon King wishes to remain in Fantasias continents, they will naturally go over to a higher education process. The main enemies theyll face at that time are the angels.
So the elementary education was demons? Having listened to Miss Trainee Teachers words, it turned out that the situation was a highly dangerous oneit was akin to a high schooler being given a university-level problem to solve.
Angel, huh?
The number of times that even I, as someone with 11 years of Hero-ing experience, had seen an angel was so few as to be counted on a hand, and those angels I saw were mostly exiled criminals. The individuals in subject had said, I was an angel in the past. Surprised, right? but truthfully at the time I wasnt particrly interested; I didnt take seriously the words of those scammers iming to have only lost the power of an angel due to being exiled. And I still felt the same way about them.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
Dozens of beams of light came shooting at me.
Even though we could solve things with a constructive conversation without fighting.
They weremitting a mistake, like assassins attacking the carriage of an imperial princess who harmed the welfare of her nation. Thats why folk like them always bought misunderstanding and met unfair endings.
Itll be like that this time too.
I wasnt so kind as to overlook getting hit by others. My Skill Fortune consistently activated at this time as well.
Swish, swish, swish.
All the beams of light shot by the angels unbelievably brushed past my body. Not a single one managed to make contact.
It was a situation that made meugh in spite of myself. My heart began to grow ever so overwhelmingly inclined towards the Job of Thief rather than Hero.
Slowly, the profiles of the intruders came into my sight.
?Race: Angel
?Level: 999+
?Job: Watchman(DefenseFive Senses)
?Skills: Divinity(S) Divine Protection(S) Glory(S) Order(S) Judgement(A)
?Condition: Perplexion
It really was an angel. Their race alone was already revealing Im an angel!, but the two pairs of pure-white wings on their backs was simr to the image of an angel in my imaginations. And they all appeared to be virtuous.
So it was the Heros doing after all.
You will be stabbed to death for the crime of releasing the sinners.
Abandon the thought of an easy death.
They spoke harsh words with faces that looked as if incapable of harming a fly. Starting off by killing the moment we met?
In the 1st ythrough, the majority of those scammers iming to be a former angel were at least consistent in looks and behaviour; good-natured, abiding by rules, and conscientious. Yet what exactly were this lot?
Ahh, eyes that say they themselves are absolute justice, I see.
That was exactly how my 1st ythroughpanions were like; they didnt hold a whit of doubt in their own actions. To save one young girl who called for help, they would ughter hundreds of people who might have a daughter of the same age.
The attitudes being shown by these angels was also the same.
I hadnt done anything. All that had happened was that the event location above was burned out of existence by a meteor coincidentally dropping from the sky, and thus appeared the underground tunnel. I had only entered out of curiosity and yet, these angels were suddenly trying to kill me right off the bat.
Well, fine.
I also liked this sort of development, as things went quick, better than mouthing off endlessly.
p-p.
The angels moved by flying at a low altitude despite being inside the narrow-spaced pce. Their intact legs were apparently just decorations.
I made my approach at an angle, kicking off the walls and pirs of the pce. The flight ability of the winged angels werent a big advantage here, a space that was enclosed in all directions; their wings only served to be cumbersome in this ce.
How is he not being hiKugh?!
I stretched out a hand towards the grumbling male angels face and thrust my fingers into his two eye sockets, taking a grip like I would a bowling ball. Then I bowled him.
Kyagh?!
The female angel, who collided with herrade who came flying over in a bloody mess, let out a cute scream as she tumbled over along with the male.
I kicked off the pce ceiling and leaped towards their side in an instant.
Purk-purk.
I impaled the two on Holy Sword 2 like a skewer.
Two for starters.
I mustered the entirety of my Dark Energys power as it would be bothersome should they happen to revive. While I had no previous experience in this, they were unlikely to remain fine if they shed with a conflicting power.
A pitch-ck aura coiled around Holy Sword 2, the bodies of the two angels exposed to this began to convulse. And then they let out lovely shrieks.
Aaargh~!
Kyaargh!
Their singing didnt go on for long, howeverthe two angels whose skins had been youthful and plump turned middle-aged, then elderly in no time, then became like mummified corpses. And that was it.
There were no signs of them reviving.
To think a Hero possesses Dark Energy!
This Dark Energy is Demon King-level!
O god of heaven, how could this
The group of angels that had been heading towards the Elf father and daughter located at the pces heart changed direction in unison, then came charging towards me. Had they judged me to be thergest threat? Or was it out of camaraderie? Whatever the case, it made things easier for me as it saved the work of pursuing them.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
A banquet of beams of light shooting over like rain, yet not one of these beams managed to touch my body. Shouldnt they be taking out some other means of attack at this point? That is of course, if they had one.
Kuugh-?!
I grasped the neck of an angel.
Had this angel been a warrior like the boss daughter, he would have immediately resisted by kicking at my Treasure 1 or flinging his fists. This one wasnt able to do so, however; he was merely frightened out of his wits, meaninglessly iling his limbs about. It was just like facing a child.
How worthless.
Crack.
Finding it too bothersome to even continue dealing with him, I broke his cervical vertebrae between the 6th and 7th point. I used Dark Energy as the finisher this time as well; starting from the center of the angels neck, his entire body began to melt like ice cream in the middle of summer.
Run away! All units retreat!
Hurry and make a report to the higher ups!
Just what on earth is this Hero!?
The angels, judging that they couldnt go on like this any further, turned around. They took flight the moment they realized their light beams, which were their sole method of attack, had no effect and that they were utterly no match for the opponent.
Wearing a fishy smile, I swung down Holy Sword 2.
You should take responsibility for picking a fight, yeah? My appearance-fee is expensive.
sh, sh-
Rumble!
The Skill Massacre wasnt restricted to lifeformsthe cut I made at mid-air grazed the wings and bodies of the angels, and copsed the pirs and ceiling of the pce before them.
I had sealed their escape route.
O Hero! Why do you take the side of those followers of evil?!
One of the trembling angels gathered his courage to shout this question at me.
Who are these followers?
Thepanions of the fallen Hero! Evils that encouraged the Hero, who forgot his duty to y the Demon King, onto the wrong path instead of persuading him!
I got to listen to an interesting story, so I decided to repay the angel for his courage and sincerity.
Purk-
I stabbed him with Holy Sword 2 and
Tsss!
Reduced him to dust using Dark Energy(SSS).
Hiik?!
Gasp!
Oh my god
It was a one-sided fight from that point onwards; in a refreshed manner I went around to them one by one, feeling as if I was ying tag with chickens trapped in a coop, and wrung their necks. Of course, I didnt kill them right away.
Miss angel with the ck underwear.
Pl-please spare me-!
Try guessing my question if you want to die gently.
Wha-?!
I didnt specify the questions I tossed at the angels I captured, but gave them a free essay-type question, and the result would sometimes be information outside my expectations
Light and darkness, Divinity and Dark Energy. The followers of chaos who belong to neither are the evil eating away at the world! O Hero! Open your eyes! Half-hearted chaos maintaining the middle ground will call on even greater disaster!
Tell me more.
That is alKugh?!
such as this. It seemed they were hating on me for being an opportunistic neutral power.
Oh Hero! Come to your senses and see the truth! That sword is the 5th Holy Sword used by the Hero of chaos who raised arms against God! It will eat away at your soul and gradually destroy it the more you use it! Kyauh?!
And there was this kind of information too!
My heart fluttered at hearing there were at least five more Holy Swords. If I were to gather them all, would it be possible to obliterate this fantasy world with the flick of a finger?
I interrogated the angels one by one before killing them. No exceptions were made.
O wonderful Hero, I will be the ve that you hope for. My body will only be yours from thisKyauh?!
Regardless of whether they surrendered or swore loyalty, I killed them all.
Who the hell is this hussy kidding? Pah!
The weak would be dominated by the strongthis was a logic that was only too natural in this barbaric worldand yet this weakling was spouting presumptuous nonsense like Ill be your ve. Be grateful for it.. A bitch that was like Sylvia! The kind that I abhorred the most.
O Hero! We are angels! Apostles of God! It makes no sense for the Hero chosen by God to be opposKuogh?!
You lot should go extinct for that reason alone!
The angel called me a pawn of the Fantasy God who kidnapped me to this awful world.
I found a new goal to pursue from today onwards: to erase every angel I came across regardless of any reason. Until I caught the Fantasy God by the back of his neck!
[?]Startled: Student Kang Han Soo. Isnt your goal too simr to the angel-hating Demon Kings dream?!
Im fine, Miss Trainee Teacher.
[?]Shrug: Yes, Im sure there wont be a big problem. The development where one encounters angels takes ce in the higher education curriculum. Its an enrichment process wherein one contemtes on what is truly good. When Student Kang Han Soo returns to Fantasia at the end of the Hero Festival, therell be absolutely no chance of you encountering angels. Although this times case was a bit unforeseen, its a peculiarity only possible because this is the Festival.
Peculiarity? Then it seemed I had to drag out the festival for as long as possible while enjoying it.
The reason for this thought was the Skill I had obtained after killing the angels this time around.
Divinity(F)Divinity(E)Divinity(D)
Divinity, a Skill which only those with the highest religious-type Jobs such as Saintess or Pope could obtain. While some monsters did possess it as well, D-rank was on the extremely high side by human standards.
Sparkle-sparkle.
The power of Divinity(D) shined brilliantly above my palm.
Ho-how do you possess Dark Energy and Divinity at the same time?
Thest of the angels, who was stabbed through by Holy Sword 2 and on the verge of death, muttered this to himself with a stupefied face. It was apparently his first time seeing such an excellent Hero.
As I dealt the finishing blow using Dark Energy(SSS), I replied, Is it really necessary to know, I wonder?
The important thing was that I could use it right now.
I turned around towards the inner region of the pce where the Elf father and daughter were at.
*
*
*
This underground prison, which had been buried somewhere on the continent where the Hero Festival was taking ce, was sealed for a very long period of time. Pressed beneath the giant Zelkova tree inhabited by Elves, its prisoners had spent their time only endlessly waiting for the destruction of the prison that would happen in the far distant future. No one came. Nothing changed.
Thats how it definitely was until just a while ago.
How mortifying
Disappear along with the secret, Third Elf King.
I had thought I had wiped all of them out, but it seemed one angel had slipped out of the ranks. Truthfully, it didnt matter up to that point. The problem, however, was that the boss who had made me nervous had been helpless against merely one angel and fallen into a dead-end crisis. Where had the daughter gone to?
Get away from my father the King!
I had barely thought of the question when the boss daughter, whose clothing had been reduced to rags, stabbed at the angels back with her rapier.
sh!
Following which there was an explosion of pure-white light. The moment the rapiers tip touched the angel, the power of Divinity(SS) exploded at the point of contact.
Kyagh?!
And the boss daughter was sted away in vain.
ng.
Her hand injured by the explosion, the rapier also slipped from her grip and fell to the ground.
Wait, as Ill kill you soon as well, wench. Of course, I shall make it so that you will repent and regret your sin amidst humiliation and shamepersonally. Heheh.
The angel, who was fine despite being stabbed by a de, spoke as such while wearing a viinous smile. To make that sort of expression with a virtuous-looking face
A bastard thats like Sieg, I see.
Thats why I could no longer stand by watching.
Holy Sword 2, which slipped from my hand, flew forwards in a straight line.
Purk-
Sir Hero! Nice shot!
Kuogh?! How was my Divinity piercthis, this is Dark Energy?!
Flop.
With Holy Sword 2 stuck between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, the angel babbled to himself before copsing on his face in an unsightly manner.
This punk wasnt he too weak?
The way he spoke and hisbat ability were inversely proportional.
Come to think of it, it seemed like all the angels were weak.
[?]Exnation: Powerful Divinity deflects everything, except for Divinity and Holy Swords which are of the same element, and Dark Energy which is of the opposite element.
Oh! Miss Trainee Teacher, thanks for the break down.
[?]Worry: But anyway, its so regrettable. The Elf gentleman who knows an important secret will end up dead soon.
Oh my!
I had forgotten about Boss K for a moment. After being one-sidedly done in by the angel who was protected by the cheat-like Divinity, he was currently in the middle of working hard to leave hisst words.
O, O Hero I entrust my daughter to you Her chest may be small, but she is a kind child with a generous heart
My father the King! Making jokes even in this situation!
Judging by the atmosphere of the two, it seemed that resurrection wasnt possible if killed by an angel.
I drew near Boss K who was entrusting his daughter to me.
And then I grabbed and shook him by the cor.
Kegh-kegh!
You irresponsible punk! Dont pass your daughter over as you please without even respecting my preferences and will! Its a real nuisance!
I activated the Skill I had freshly obtained this time, and stuck the power of Divinity(D) into Boss Ks body like a straw.
Chapter 43 - The Elf King praises humans!
Chapter 43: The Elf King praises humans!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tslurrp-!
The Divinity(SS) that was nted like venom in Boss K by the angel slowly was slowly guided up through the straw(Divinity(D)) towards my body. At first it hadnt budged like a haughty beauty, but the moment it detected the Dark Energy(SSS) surging on the other side, made a beeline straight for it at once.
Wuoong!
The Divinity(SS) began to kick a fuss just like it had attacked Boss K. In the end, however, it failed to destroy me, and epted a new owner.
Divinity(D)Divinity(C)
Obtaining a new skill within a short period and raising it to C-rank in one go!
It wasnt at all bad a harvest.
[?]Perplexed: There is no higher education curriculum in the Hero Festival, yet Student Kang Han Soo is progressing too quickly. A festival is there for taking a break! How about preparing for the exam after the festival ends? They say resting is also studying, right~
This girls just asking for a p from all the mothers in Korea. Studying in advance ismon sense back at home.
[?]Tremble: Is, is that so. A scary ce I see
I scanned Boss K up and down; his dying appearance as he was being corroded by Divinity(SS) had all but gone, and he had quickly recovered his health. Perhaps there was a slight lingering effect, however, as he gave off the feeling of having aged somewhere overall. Well, that wasnt of my concern.
Boss K. I want to talk if youve gotten back on your feet.
It was time to get to the subject we didnt even begin due to the angels interference.
My name is- it is nothing. O Savior, ask whatever you will. If you so wish, I shall tell you everything about my daughter starting from her weight to the date of her birth.
My father the King?!
Haha! My lovely daughter. I am no longer a king from today on, so call me casually.
Boss K spoke in a fathers tone and not that of an austere king; although, it did seem that he had strayed from the right path, to an excessive extent, to fall under the category of a normal father. I could glimpse his intention to shift his daughter over to me no matter what.
Father the King.
Come now!
Father. I am not yet ready
Have you not already shared skinship with Sir Hero?
Th-that is!
I quietly watched the Elf father and daughter ying out their skit of jumping the gun. Wasnt it said that people are free to imagine? But I decided to interfere, unable to stand looking on further, upon seeing that Boss K was going so far as to steer the talk into detailed ns for having children.
In a disinterested, cool voice I asked, Spill what you know, starting with what that angel was trying to keep silent.
*
*
*
People would often run into ridiculous matters in life. For instance, even if they heard of a major thing such as the truth of the world, they might feel not much interest as they already knew about it long ago. Was this called drawing the losing lot?
I already know as much that Im a fish in a farm.
I had realized it after meeting Professor Morals in the 2nd ythrough.
Is, is that so
Boss K smiled awkwardly. He looked extremely surprised because while the man himself apparently thought he had said something immensely important, the great Hero had already known all about it. Teaching staff, report card, regression, examination ground, graduation, parallel world It was all what I knew from having experienced it myself.
In days long past, Boss K was said to be also apanion of a Hero. The source of the boss information was a Hero on his 3rd ythrough. Boss K said he was greatly shocked at the truth that they themselves were replicas or perhaps consumables meant to raise a Hero.
I understand. I also felt shock and fear, you see.
I had thought I would return to Earth upon defeating Demon King Pedonar, yet what suddenly awaited me was a report card and regression. It was from the 2nd ythrough onwards that I realized the existence of the teaching staff, and I was majorly stressed out at that time.
Damned Professor Morals. It was enough that I was burning with anger, yet he went on to fan those mes. It seemed he was reced this time around, and I hoped he would be transferred to some dimension of a primitive Earth to teach a grunting caveman Hero.
Sir Hero, are you not curious about my dear daughter?
Boss K quietly asked me this with a sly look in his eyes which only men knew. He still hadnt given up, apparently.
My answer was decided from the start.
Elf K isnt my type. Maybe if were only going to enjoy each otherspany, but Im going to spend about 30 years in this continent before leaving, you see.
30 years, you say?
At most 30 years.
My leaving could even be tomorrow.
I shant dissuade you from leaving, but please leave me a granddaughter fully matured in body and mind before going.
Even as Boss K said this, he stared so very regretfully at a certain part of Elf K who was walking beside him, his gaze containing mixed feelings of love and hatred.
This guypletely hopeless as a parent.
Haha! The Elves have this sort of saying: a child before 1000 years, afterwards a friend. A neighbor from 2000 years on.
This was a concept only possible because they were long-lived Elves. Furthermore, Boss K and Elf K had spent an eternity of time alone together in this underground prison. It was almost amazing that no intermarriage had taken ce during that time. At present, they looked more like siblings rather than a father and his daughter.
In any case
How long are you guys going to chase after me?
Boss K and Elf K had followed me like chicks behind a hen up to the surface, and continued to apany me afterwards as well. Half a day seemed to have passed.
The angels who noticed that my daughter and I are alive will soon sent pursuers. Until I find a way to oppose their Divinity like in my past prime, the n is to sponge off you, Sir Hero.
Brazen though it may be, I also ask you of this.
The K pair earnestly pleaded me this. They were no doubt greatly urgent as this was an issue which concern their lives and freedom. I had been about to promptly refuse, but changed my mind.
Boss K, how are you sure that the angels will send pursuers?
At present, my Skill Divinity was at C-rank. While this alone was enough to threaten the seats of Fantasias Pope and Cardinal, I didnt consider anything below S-rank as a Skill.
Ah! Except for Fortune(A), that is.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Fortune(++)
?Rank: A(++)
?S: Luck will not run dry.
?A: The energy of the universe will help often. (++)
?B: Always ignore traps. (++)
?C: Luck increases tremendously. (++)
?D: Safe from falls. (++)
?E: Dodge all unseen arrows. (++)
?F: Luck improves.
While my heart was inclined towards keeping Thief as my Job all the way, but it would change to something strange in no time if I didnt go around stealing. Before that happened, I wanted to raise Fortune to S-rankif my luck didnt run dry like the effect description said, then the proficiency level would gradually go up afterwards even if I didnt really put in the effort to do so. This was one of the highest priority tasks.
Boss K replied to my question.
It is because angels beware beings of chaos.
That did seem like the case.
I had one-sidedly ughtered the angels from before with thebination of Dark Energy(SSS) and Holy Sword 2. Rather than me being strong, they had been much too weak, rookies inbat who only had high Levels and Skill ranks. Everything had a reason to it.
As you have witnessed, Sir Hero, high-rank Divinity has the effect of deflecting all attacks except for that of the opposite element Dark Energy or same element Divinity. That is why angels rarely find their match, aside from demons and chaotic beings.
The angels had awfully poorbat experience, and that was because they had zero need for skills and techniques such as evading or defending since they fought using a cheat key that prevented their HP from dropping. They also had no opportunities to build proficiency in Skills like Endurance, which was why they were vulnerable against demons and attacks of chaos.
Only, here was the variable factor; demons were by nature extremely weak against angels. While they did possess Dark Energy which could smash apart an angels god-mode cheat, there was the fatal issue of the race of demons being innately even more vulnerable against an angels Divinity. As such, demons were out of thepetition.
Ultimately, only beings of chaos could stand superior to angels without weaknesses.
Targeting you because youre natural enemies? But you guys were too weak despite that, though?
The struggling sight of Boss K and Elf K, having such a hard time helpless against a single angel, was so pitiful it couldnt be seen without shedding tears.
Hm-hm. It is because my personal weapon which contains the divine element was seized, and my Skill Dark Energy was sealed.
Me too!
The K father and daughter pair imed their defeat was due to having the means to break an angels god-mode taken from them.
Anyhow, youre saying that angels will continue to target you guys, right?
Indeed.
Yes.
And thus, I agreed to the K pair apanying meas the sole bait to lure in angels. I didnt make this judgement on an impulse; it was a conclusion I came to after organizing the information I gained through the previous group of angels and the K pairs ims.
Miss Trainee Teacher, let me ask just one thing.
[?]Chill: Whats the reason? My shoulders feel cold all of a sudden. If its a sensible question, Ill give my everything to answer!
Where do angels live? They should also have something like a home where they eat and sh*t.
[?]Frightened: Do you intend on raiding them?!
Why? I think it a highly reasonable judgement. This way is more efficient than setting bait.
[?]Warning: I admit that Student Kang Han Soo is strong; however, the angels in charge of the higher education curriculum are far stronger. And this is a secret that isnt a secret, but angels dont live in Fantasias dimension to begin with, like how primary schools and high schools dont share the same building.
Miss Trainee Teacher imed there was no shortcut or convenient way.
I leisurely shrugged my shoulders, however, because I had something to count on.
I dont know if its some high school or primary school, but Im sure the energy of the universe will help out if I earnestly wish for it.
Luck amplification!
Thief was the strongest Job in Fantasia. Only, it was necessary to steal in order to maintain the Job without change. While I wanted to live a straight life, it was my destiny to inevitablymit thievery in order to survive in this unfeeling world.
Shouldnt it be fine since I wasnt even a Hero at present? Just like Miss Trainee Teacher said, a festival was there to be enjoyed. Here, there was no need to be stressed out by character and reputation grades.
This 5th ythrough had no concept of a report card and graduation. There was no Demon King to y to start off with, no? I would be going over to my 6th ythrough when the Hero Festival ended, and Lanuvel would make my insides churn again with her wannabe cute greeting of Wee, Sir Hero!even merely imagining it made my stress begin to build. I needed rest before I copsed from pent-up rage.
Lets enjoy the festival like a festival should be!
I guess a big city is best to go thieving after all?
[?]Bewildered: You cant be?
Miss Trainee Teacher, navigation please. Come on~
*
*
*
The K pair and I moved towards Start City, which was the biggest city located in the very heart of the festival continent. Although I had heard the citys rather impressive original name, which twisted the tongue like something in Spanish, from Passerby 3, I gave up on using it as it was hard to pronounce and wasnt endearing.
Had it taken almost about five days to make it to Start City? Even here, I could feel the severe difference in treatment.
Even though I started in a cave!
All of the graduates excluding me had started in this city. While they did start off with the same underwear-less, droopy outfit as I did, the lovely Saintess whom they would see first thing upon opening their eyes would provide the festival-goers with a rather nice set of clothes, basic equipment and initial funds, free of charge.
It was discrimination in everything and anything!
I couldnt not express deep dissatisfaction at this unfair treatment.
Wow! It feels good to see the sun after so long! And the air is fresh too.
Elf K spread wide her t chest as she so eximed.
Its a wonder you didnt go insane for so long, huh?
I had felt on the brink of going nuts with just being imprisoned on Fantasias continents, yet this Elf had spent the same everyday life in that small pce, along with her sexually harassing father and hideous ogresfor a very, very long time. How had she managed to endure the tedium?
Im not sure. Because Im an Elf?
All my doubts became trivial at that one line, which even sounded refreshing, from Elf K who said she felt good from seeing the sun. It was no different to asking how a Ginkgo tree could manage to live 3000 years in the same spot.
In any case
I, Ill give it to you!
Please dont hurt us!
We received a hat as a gift from Passerby 14 and Passerby 15, whom I assumed to be couples. I hadplimented them on the hat with a smiling face while Holy Sword 2, which was practically the symbol of a righteous Hero, was slung on my shoulder, and they had meekly handed it over.
Here, cover your ears with this.
The Elves wouldnt go unnoticed just by covering up their ears with a hat, the reason being that the others graduates could also view the Status of others as they pleased like I could; it was a matter of time before the K pairs race became noticed. I judged it better than doing nothing at all, however, because
Ooh! A city of humans! Ahh! How could those fruits swaying everywhere be so tempting! Truly I am clueless as to where I should put these two eyes of mine. Humans are the best! Elves are trash!
At the east entrance of Start City, Boss K began to tantly yell out his loathing for his kin upon seeing some humandies passing by.
That guy wasnt he supposed to be the Third Elf King? I got the feeling that he deserved to suffer a rebellion.
Sir Hero, I am truly sorry that my father is like that
Elf K bowed in apology to me, her ears reddened to their tips.
No, I understand.
Because the Elf King I knew was also a sorry character. It seemed to be an issue of gics.
But it was right then that
Huh?! You, youre Kang Han Soo, arent you? Isnt that right?
Someone who wasnt Sieg called out my name clearly. Upon turning towards the source of the voice, I frowned.
Who are you again?
There, I saw a delinquent whose hair was dyed yellow.
Its me, me I tell you! The guy who said he was going to set off on a thrilling adventure, together with beauties of various races in a fantasy worl
Aha! Its you!
Kang Han Soo, you finally remember?
Yeah, you!
You havent remembered at all! You damned asshole!
What am I supposed to do when 11 years have already passed since then?
I ran into High School ssmate A.
Chapter 44 - Oh! My dear saint!
Chapter 44: Oh! My dear saint!
---------------------------------------------------------------
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 586
?Job: Swordsman(Stamina=Swordsmanship)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) Vigor(B) Stamina(B) Charm(C) Swordsmanship(D)
?Condition: Good
ssmate As Status.
Compared to the Status of countless graduates I came across in the festival, ssmate A was rather on the excellent side. Wasnt his Swordsmanship, the most important thing to a Swordsman, too low? But this sort of worry was truthfully meaningless, as the number of Heroes whose highest Skill rank was only D wasnt few. Taking that into consideration, ssmate As Status could be counted among the upper rank.
Lets take this somece else first.
Right.
We(ssmate A included) practically dragged along Boss K, who was busily sightseeing those temptful fruits, and moved towards the market in the citys inner area.
It was a bustle of activity wherever we went.
Start City was different from the cities of Fantasias continents, giving off an atmosphere like that of a European tourist city whichbined the modern and medieval. While the city appeared somewhat worn on the outside, it was well-equipped with convenience facilities and had thetest products of culture. Perhaps this was giving consideration to the graduates who had be used to modern society.
This was prepared by the teaching staff?
[?]Puffed Up: Yes! Those ratherrge buildings are a given, as well as the flowers on the streets and dark, shady alleyways, even the sewers that are out of sightthere isnt a ce that careful thought wasnt put into! Anyone would feel disappointed if the first ce they were shown was shabby, after all.
Miss Trainee Teacher exined with tion, and information that was as much useful as she was proud continued to flow out of her. I made up my mind to make use of this for sure.
Tinkle-tinkle~??
We moved to a tasteful-looking cafe that had a bell hung by its door. Originally, we were supposed to be heading to a pub
Hansoo. Were minors, arent we?
but the idea was rejected due to ssmate A spouting this nonsense in a natural manner. Although I wanted to argue why coffee, and not alcohol, was the trend in a fantasy world, I gave up by the point I sighted the air conditioner installed on the wall of the cafe.
Here was Earth wearing the guise of a fantasy world.
The surface has really changed much.
Indeed. But there are also things that havent changed Huhu!
The K father and daughter pair, who had long remained imprisoned in the underground prison, wore speechless faces at the sight of the advanced products of society disyed across the city.
I cant bear going around with these bumpkin Elves.
Sir Hero, whats chamomile tea?
Whats the difference between espresso and americano?
The bumpkin father and daughter asked thus after staring nkly up at the cafe menu board. Chamo- what?
Ask a staff member.
So I said while pointing at a mermaid employee, who was busy with dyed orders.
But it was then that ssmate A abruptly poked his nose in.
Chamomile is a white flower giving off an apple fragrance that has the meaning of apple growing from the ground. It helps in hydrating skin, rxing and sleeping well for beautifuldies such as the Elf miss over there. Chamomile tea is a tea brewed from that flower.
And he further continued
Espresso is a strong coffee made by passing finely ground andpressed coffee through hot water under high pressure. On the other hand, americano originates from the light coffee enjoyed by the people of a country named America back in my home. I rmend a light americano if its your first time having coffee.
ssmate A also smoothly exined the difference between the two types of coffee in a refreshing manner. It would believe it if he was called a loca- he was indeed a local.
A strange sense of defeat took me by surprise.
[?]Pat: Student Kang Han Soo, cheer up. 11 years is enough time to fall behind the times and be countrified. Do you still remember ck coffee?
Kugh-!
Miss Trainee Teachers words lodged themselves into my chest like a knife.
No way! Me, a bumpkin?!
After respectively ordering our desired drinks, we sat in a circle around a round table.
I began talking to ssmate A first.
How long did you stay in that fantasy world?
I had well understood that the graduates who lost the Job of Hero were ridiculously weak; however, I didnt know exactly how long they spent adventuring in the fantasy world before they defeated Demon King Pedonar and graduated. Perhaps I should have investigated beforehand? But it was still wasnt toote.
3 years.
ssmate A replied as if it was a trifling matter.
Really? Only 3 years?
Yeah. What a shock it was back then! I intended on leisurelypleting a harem after beating Demon King Pedonar, who kept being annoying on and off with his demon minions, you know? But I ended up returning to Earth straight after killing the Demon King.
ssmate A began to recite the tale of his adventure. It was, in many ways, simr to my experience in the 1st ythrough.
He coincidentally went to watch an auction, bought Elf Princess Sylvia who was reduced to a ve and recruited her as apanion, and not long after that the mermaid princess and Saintess A joined ssmate As party as a set.
Roughly 1 yearter, ssmate A and muppets moved from the middle continent to the northern continent. There, he challenged the Sword Princess, who had refused a political marriage by hanging in there saying I want to marry a man who has defeated me!, and was defeated for the first time!
She was really strong.
That crazy bitch is a bit strong, yeah.
I knew well as someone who had also experienced it. I, however, didnt challenge the Sword Princess with the goal of marrying herthat nutjob was the one who picked a fight with me first.
Hehe. Her bod was crazy too.
ssmate A crinkled his eyes as heughed lewdly.
Its a wonder that it seems there was no bloodshed.
I had almost ended up murdered after inadvertently seeing her in the nude.
Mm? She was nice, though?
Mm?
ssmate A had carefully thought on the method to make the Sword Princess yield, and the solution he arrived at was the story of the legendary Holy Sword slumbering in the northern continent he came to hear about.
So and so happened, and thus he obtained Holy Sword 1!
Re-challenging the Sword Princess, ssmate A was able to easily grasp victory by using Holy Sword 1s autobat function; however, she didnt ept her defeat and challenged him 3 more timesbut she couldnt win against the cheat-like automatic function. In the end, she became the Heros woman as promised.
We did hold a wedding ceremony, but we were both minors under 19 so
Oi?
Was this cherry boy for real?
I should call him Virgin A instead of ssmate A from now on.
Hansoo, dont be surprised at hearing this: I even seeded in making that Ice Princess, notoriously famous in the northern continent, part of my harem! I gave her the Sages staff and helped control her power gone out of control, and she followed me saying thanks.
So that kind of conquest method existed, huh? I cut her down in my case, though. Although mypanions had tried holding me back then, taking pity on her, I couldnt afford to ignore the woman who caused hundreds of people to be frozen solid due to her berserk power.
Then, what happened to the Sage?
Hes a man, isnt he?
Hm. I see.
He had apparently killed him and stolen his staff. As I continued to listen, I realized that there wasnt a single malepanion in Virgin As adventure.
At any rate, its amazing.
Was mypliment to his liking? Virgin A restlessly shifted his buttocks as he continued speaking.
Its in this manner that 18 beauties joined my harem party over 3 years. Maybe the Demon King became envious though, because he then started hindering my romancing, you know? And if that wasnt enough, he even tried killing my women!
And so you broke into the Demon Kings castle?
Naturally!
I wanted to tell Virgin A that he was a nutcase. While it wasnt my ce to say that, as someone who went charging in within a day, the path up to the Demon Kings castle was a formidable one for a 1st ythrough Hero.
And yet Virgin A had made it.
How?
My women were outstanding, you see.
The power of love! Before Holy Sword 1s ultimate move that grew the more powerful in proportion to the number ofpanions and lovers, even the strongest of demons could only put up a futile resistance. And hispanions themselves had been strong.
The Demon King?
He was the weakest among the demon with renown, you know? My wives easily took him down without even having to take action myself.
I see.
The Demon Kings penalty it seemed that the effect also extended to the Herospanions. In the case of this being true, then the conclusion would be that the Demon King could be made simple work of if the Heros Level was lower than hispanions.
Miss Trainee Teacher, am I correct in my guess?
[?]Affirmative: Its the reason why importance is ced on love and friendshipits like having revealed the answer from the start. Yet in spite of this, there are too many students who fail toe before the Demon King and die, then take a re-rest.
So she said.
Kang Han Soo, what about you?
ssmate A, who had been recounting his adventure to his hearts content, asked about me in turn.
I wonder what answer would be good?
One day.
I couldnt bring myself to say 11 years, even if I were to die.
One, one day? Your jokes too much, haha!
Virgin Aughed while holding his belly. Even I thought that one day was a bit far-fetched despite holding onto my high pride, since it was impossible to reach the Demon Kings castle alone as a Level 1.
My luck was good.
Pft! Its fine. Dont say it if you dont want to. Its an unwritten rule among Heroes not to pry into one anothers adventure, after all.
With that said, Virgin A began to show curiosity in the K father and daughter pair. Perhaps he had also seen many Elves though, as he very soon lost interest. Afterwards, the main subject revolved around the real world: music, games,ics, novels, exercise Nouns that sounded to me like relics of ancient times came pouring out like a waterfall.
I dont know well because Im sick of ying around.
Haha! I also agree on that. The entertainments on Earth are a bit dullpared to a fantasy adventure together with beauties.
Virgin A thought the exact opposite way I did. Or else, was it that I had glorified my memories of Earth due to my homesickness intensifying?
It didnt matter whichever the case it wasI was going to return to Earth no matter the cost. Before that, however, there was something I had to ask Virgin A.
Are my parents doing well?
Virgin A tilted his head at my question as he returned one of his own.
Youre also a Hero who returned to Earth, so why ask me regarding your parents?
That was true!
I had been impatient. An excuse to cover up my mistake didnte to mind at all.
Ah! Maybe? Kang Han Soo, are you also one of those folks they call spirited nowadays?
Those folks?
Earth misfits. People who seek after a life simr to a fantasy adventure, endlessly roaming ces instead of returning to where they used to live in.
Uh Mhm. Thats right.
Just what was happening on Earth?
*
*
*
I wasnt able to hear news of my parents from Virgin A, but in exchange, he promised to ry to them that their son was doing fine in my ce when the festival ended and he returned to Earth.
Kang Han Soo! Lets meet at Seoul next time!
Yeah. You take care too.
We parted ways, waving hands at each other.
And then I heard the voice of a young girl.
Big Bro~??
A girl around high schooler age went over to stick right by and link arms with Virgin A, who had left the cafe, and walked away side by side. Judging by her sophisticated style of outfit, that girl was also a Hero.
Virgin As figure grew distant like that.
I swallowed a dryugh.
Minor my ass.
3 years spent in a fantasy world meant he was already mentally an adult, and his matured body was in good condition for coupling.
Damn! A girlfriend from Earth!
You lose if youre envious.
Sir Hero, what will you do now?
Made In Fantasy Elf K thus asked.
She was probably not asking for my n out of true ignorance. It seemed this city was quite to her liking, and I got the feeling she didnt want the ce turned into a scene of pandemonium by thievery.
The water of the city is really good. Ah! I mean the americano. Hm-hm!
Boss K, his eyes moving left and right without rest like a print scanner, appeared to be of simr thought. Truthfully, even if this father and daughter, who had been long confined in the underground prison, were brought to some desert with nothing but sand, they would have enjoyed the experience saying it was novel.
In any case
Halting the n was out of the question. Thieving was necessary if only to maintain the Thief Job.
My goal was decided from the start.
The great temple located by the side of Start Citys central great za was where the graduates would be summoned to in session; however, that wasnt the only purpose of the great templeit also held the role of this big events reward storehouse.
Were going to conquer the great temple from now on.
ording to Passerby 23s information, the great temple boasted an iron-tight defense that didnt allow even a needle through. Perhaps this was only natural, since the teaching staff had poured their heart and soul into the building?
[?]Warning: Student Kang Han Soo, give up. Your decision this time is really suicidal.
Its fine, Miss Trainee Teacher. Itll only lead to the 6th ythrough even if I die, no?
Besides, as I would never be caught by traps thanks to Fortunes B-rank effect, I was fully capable of sneaking in. And the energy of the universe was also helping me as well.
You two, K father and daughter, stay outside and make some noise.
I see you are really going to do it
Well I shall follow your will, Savior.
The n was to sneak into the great temple while the K pair gathered attention. Since Miss Trainee Teacher said she also didnt know of the internal structure of the great temple, this time I would have to purely rely on my intuition and luc- Mm?
ThiefSaint(Divinity=Fabrication)
Was it because my Divinity rank had risen? My Job had changed from Thief to one who is holy.
Saint. The power of its perk was between a Saintess and a Popes, and it was called the 2nd highest religion-rted Job; however, I couldnt bring myself tough in the least.
After hurriedly summoning forth Holy Sword 2, I checked the effects of Fortune.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Fortune(+)
?Rank: A(+)
?S: Luck will not run dry.
?A: Energy of the universe will help asionally. (+)
?B: Ignore traps asionally. (+)
?C: Luck increases considerably. (+)
?D: Incur slight injury from falls. (+)
?E: Dodge unseen arrows asionally. (+)
?F: Luck improves.
I waspletely ruined!
The Skills effects had be ambiguous even with Holy Sword 2s amplification. It was much too precarious to charge in with blind faith.
Hah! Im really gonna lose it! What am I supposed to do with an auxiliary Job like Saint
I felt a sudden burst of stress, causing the back of my neck to ache.
But it was then that
A Saint has descended!
Ooh! A Saint hase to thisnd!
Venerable Saint! Please cure my son!
The foolish natives who saw me began to kick up amotion, and that disturbance spread across the entire city in mere moments like an epidemic.
Wow! Unbelievable! Wasnt Saint an unimplemented Job?
Its my first time seeing a graduate whos be a Saint.
The reaction of the graduates werent much different. While they did treat me like a natural monument rather than feel admiration, I could feel them gazing at me with eyes of envy and jealousy.
Just why?
My Venerable Saint, if it is not rude, may I guide you to the great temple?
The lovely Saintess who came from the great temples entrance asked to escort me.
I let loose a loud, heartyugh.
I did indeed pray hard to get inside the great temple, but
The energy of the universe was apparently too powerful.
Chapter 45 - How much for you?
Chapter 45: How much for you?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Venerable Saint, its this way.
The Saintess, constantly maintaining a faint smile on her face, erotically swayed her celestial peach-shaped buttocks left and right as she took the lead. It seemed that she was made to match the tastes of Earthlings: a nuns garb thatbined the immoral and pure which all men would favor, a hairstyle that would have taken at least 3 hours at a beauty salon, clean makeup, fine skin It was the perfect harmony of clothing and wearer.
Her Status was also insane.
?Race: Grand Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Saintess(FaithResurrection)
?Skills: Immortal(SSS) Faith(SS) Divinity(SS) mor(S) Virtue(S)
?Condition: Good
Hahah! Immortal at SSS-rank?
She appeared to be a delicate woman on the outside, but the Saintess Level and Skill set made her no different from a living fortress. To what extent? Even if this Saintess was thrown nude into the very heart of a fierce battlefield, she would be just fine without a single scratch.
Swaying~
Hm
Of course, while the men on that battlefield, who would no doubt be stirred up into fiery passions, wouldnt leave her buttocks be, there would absolutely be no physical harm. What would be a good way to call her? Ah!
I observed the surroundings as I followed behind Saintess H, as if the situation called for the need to escape, then I needed to input the environment, defenses and such into my mind.
But perhaps she had noticed my line of sight?
Venerable Saint, a truly beautiful garden, isnt it? It helps in settling down the weariness and confusion of the mind and body. I wish to open it to the public, but I only feel regret as entry is strictly prohibited.
Saintess H slowed her pace as she talked.
I yed along to her tune.
Yes, a wonderful farm as you say.
Nothing needed be said further from the moment I saw the mermaids lounging in the pond here. There would be no garden more tempting than this one in all of Fantasia and Earth; however, I couldnt afford to do nothing butugh to myself, and that was because of the stone statues ced in various spots of the garden.
?Race: Golem
?Level: 999+
?Job: Watchman(DefenseFive Senses)
?Skills: Detect Foe(SSS) Five Senses(SS) Pursuit(SS) Close Quarters Combat(SS) Cooperation(S)
?Condition: Standby
Nude statues of men with bulging muscles like that of bodybuilders were ced throughout the garden like boulders. They followed my movements with only their eyes rolling about in their sockets.
Golems, soulless masses of magical earth. The way to subjugate them depended on the way they were created, but in general, destroying their core which was the equivalent of a living creatures heart would stop their movements. Put differently, this meant they would revive over and over so long as their core remained intact. Each golem possessed infinitely varied levels of intelligence and performance.
These entities could be easily encountered as watchmen in the temples, sanctuaries, ruins and such that were scattered across Fantasias continents. The use of a golem wasnt limited tobat, however; construction, cleaning,bor, experiments, escort they were used in myriad ways depending on their size and form.
[?]Perplexed: No graduates can re-enter the great temple once they leave, to begin with. And yet Student Kang Han Soo seeded amazingly enough
Miss Trainee Teacher, listen well. Common sense exists to be broken. (Grin).
At any rate I would have really ended up dead had I snuck in while only believing in my luck as a Thief. It was the golems Skill, Detect Foe(SSS)the ability to search out enemies. No matter how outrageous the effects of Fortune was, amplified by the Job Thief and Holy Sword 2, it was only A-rank; it was only inevitable to end up noticed if the opponent had an SSS-rank Skill. That being the case, would I be able to win against them in a fight?
Venerable Saint, are the golems to your liking?
Saintess H, who possessed an unusual sensitivity, asked me this as she approached my side in a friendly manner.
Its my first time seeing such powerful golems.
Huhu! No doubt about that. These golems are dolls made by the very god who built this great temple, after all. A total of 3,141 golems are keeping up perfect defenses of the great temples interiors.
Truly extraordinary.
Mhm. Nope. Definitely nope.
I wouldnt be able to even cross the threshold of the great temples treasure storehouses doors at this rate. I had to find another way through that didnt involve force, and for that the most urgent business was to find out the reason for my being invited to this great temple, as well as to determine the limits of my capability.

A beautiful set of Skills specialized forbat!
And that was the problem, because when confronted with a situation that couldnt be solved with force like now, the number of things I could do would drastically be reduced. The utility of my nonbat Skills was extremely low. A non-violent way of doing things like that of supreme leader, Gandhi, wasnt suitable for me. Then what was I to do?
I have something I must urgently tell you, Venerable Saint.
The event content was finally going to be revealed.
Truthfully, this was the biggest question. Saintess Hs Status was very much on the excellent side, amazing to the point of being able to heal all the patients of a city by herself. I didnt think that an individual such as Saintess H would have something to request of a greenhorn whod just opened his eyes to healing magic.
But of course
Im all ears, Venerable Saintess.
It was possible in a role-ying game. Some Knight Captain Q who had four intact limbs, and ability to boot, might entrust an important secret to or ask help of a fledgling yer. Well, it wasnt like I couldnt understand at all; if there had to be a rather eptable reason for every mission, then game developers would find themselves copsing with a cramp in their heads.
Here was reality, however. While it was excessively fantastical to be called reality, at least the people of this world wouldnt deliberately entrust contrived missions like in a game. This being the case, what was it that Saintess H wasnt capable of doing?
I decided to hear about it from now.
Saintess H began to speak her part in amenting manner.
We have imprisoned arge number of demon worshipers within the great temple; however, we are ced in a helpless situation as those individuals are heroes, the loss of whom would be too great to simply execute. Great Venerable Saint, I ask that you persuade those heroes to once again take the side of humanity. Please.
Hooh?
A very interesting mission was offered my way.
Demon worshiperswerent they right up my alley? Like eating a dragon lying down.
[?]Chill: Student Kang Han Soo? Ive been continuing to feel nothing but ill omens for a while now, but that must just be my imagination, right?
Of course it is, Miss Trainee Teacher. Im extremely confident, you see! Just trust in me!
[?]Correction: I was worrying for the great temples safety

I was greatly satisfied with the Hero Festival system. As the festival was focused around the graduates whocked for nothing, the concept of free service didnt work like it did in Fantasias continents.
Give and takean absolute reward would be given uponpleting the event. And so
Having passed by the garden and entered the inner area of the great temple, we entered earnest negotiations. From here on it would business talks of abor rtions through and through.
The demon worshipers number 514 in total.
Saintess H spoke while pointing to the single cells lined up like a maze on the other side.
Over 500? Theres more than I thought.
Indeed. Its because a Saint has never appeared even a single time over a long time, while only the demon worshipers continued to increase. Thats why, Venerable Saint, please reform as many of the demon worshipers as you can.
As Saintess H earnestly requested this of me, she also mentioned points.
1 point per demon worshiper. It was a reward system of diligently gathering points and exchanging them for a desired treasure. I thought that it was highly reasonable.
Of course, it was no easy event.
Hey! Hero-exclusive hole, why dont you sing a little song for me.
Ill tear your crotch first thing after getting released, bitch!
Little Saintess, cmere. This big brother over herell open you a new one. Kikik!
Reform me? Pft! I think you getting pregnant will be faster?
All sorts of obscene harassment and profanities spat by the imprisoned demon worshipers came pouring down over Saintess H.
Although she was a Saintess, a peerless Job in terms of healing and resurrection, she was very poor when it came to persuading others; Saintess Hs face turned pale-white, unable to bear the onught of abusive and foul words from all directions.
A great temple overflowing with malice perhaps this was the true Demon Kings castle?
I, I entrust this to you! Venerable Saint!
Saintess H broke down in tears in the end as she pleaded me.
Before that, Venerable Saintess, may I see the list of treasures that can be exchanged for with points? I feel that only after doing so will I be motivated to work.
Ah! Of course. Come this way!
We entered further deeper into the great temple.
Coming across golems at every turn of a path was a given. The Demon Kings castle was a yground for kidspared to here. I wondered: what nerve did I have to try and break through all this? The saying, the ignorant are brave, automatically popped into my mind.
nk-nk, creaak-
The locks on the huge sliding door at the end of the corridor were opened in session, and two golems pushed opened those thick doors from both sides.
Thump, thump.
Herplexion having recovered its color, Saintess H said, Its here. Almost all of therge event rewards of the Hero Festival are stored in this ce.
Even the reward of the main event?
The exciting event where I kill all the Heroes aside from me, that is. Just the mere thought of it is thrilling!
[?]Close to Tears: Student Kang Han Soo! Three are supposed to remain, not one! And that doesnt mean its an event where you kill everyone while leaving only two alive! The entire meaning of the event is the coboration of love and friendship! Just what on earth do you think the festival is for?!
Miss Trainee Teachers asking a deep question, huh. A festivals just a festival, isnt it?
Unfortunately, the main event reward is stored in another location. Be that as it may, the rewards piled up in this treasure storehouse can be considered outstanding as well, and since the better a reward the more points it requires, it does not matter much. Venerable Saint, will you take a look at this sword?
Saintess H pointed towards a certain sword on disy.
Holy Demon Sword, Swordmaster?
Yes, you saw correctly. Its the replica of a sword that was favored by the man called Sword God. While its power amounts to half of the original, that alone makes it adequately valuable. Please look at the price tag hung on its hilt.
[Demon Sword of a certain Sword God: 15 points]
15 points?
yes. If Venerable Saint seeds in reforming 15 demon worshipers in the great temple, you will be able to possess this sword.
I understood the principle.
I swiftly scanned through the rewards inside the treasure storehouse. I was seeing the majority of these items for the first time, but there were also some I found familiar, having seen them somewhere, scattered about here and there.
[A certain mermaids broomstick: 12 points]
[A certain queens ne: 3 points]
[A certain Elf Kings bow: 15 points]
[A certain imperial princess garter belt: 34 points]
[A certain archaeologists telescope: 7 points]
[A certain Sages staff: 17 points]
After circling the inside of the treasure storehouse 3 times, I licked my lips.
Theres nothing to my liking.
Apart from the consumable potions that raised Skill proficiency, nothing caught my fancy. The equipments were all replicas, and there was no weaponparable with Holy Sword 2. But if there was something that rtively stood a chance?
[A certain Heros sword: 100 points]
It was the replica of Holy Sword 1. However, as I had passed the period of ying with a beginner-use automatic training tool, it was no more than an utterly useless hunk of metal to me.
Saintess H made a troubled face at my discontent.
Im sorry, Venerable Saint. Even if theres nothing you are drawn to, please make a choice among the treasures currently in this storehouse.
My interest was piqued by her wordschoose among the treasures currently in this storehouse?
If so
How much are you, Venerable Saintess?
What? Huhu! You sure know how to joke. Im not a reward.
But youre currently inside the treasure storehouse, arent you?
I decided to force reason all the way.
Th-thats
Even though you hope for the demon worshipers to be reformed, you actually leave yourself out of it? Dont you disqualify as a Saintess who must devote herself for the peace of humanity?
Mm
Are my words wrong?
No. What you have pointed out is correct, Venerable Saint.
Saintess H became enlightened.
[?]Horror: Just what is going on?! How was the Saintess persuaded by Student Kang Han Soos illogical fabrications It cant be?!
Miss Trainee Teacher, dont get agitated. Ill fight fair and square as a Saint.
So how much are you, Venerable Saintess?
I am
From this day onwards, Saintess H went around hanging a price tag by her neck.
[A certain Saintess everything: 500 points]
And as for me?
Youre S-rank? Im SSS-rank.
Gasp?!
This was the difference in Dark Energy between the demon worshipers and me.
Chapter 46 - Follow me, plz
Chapter 46: Follow me, plz
Note: Title is in English in the raw chapter.
?Race: Dark Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 200%)
?Skills: Magic(SS) Sorcery(SS) Fighting Spirit(S) Dark Energy(S) Tolerance(S)
?Condition: Captured, Sealed, Astonished, Overwhelmed
The demon worshipers imprisoned in the great temple were strong. Each and every one of them came close to or exceeded the power of a top-ss demon, and their Race, Job and Skills varied as well; this was enough to know why the Saintess hadnt disposed of these individuals, a fighting force too regretful to simply kill. It was only natural to want to recycle them whatever the means.
I was of the same thought.
Kneel.
I heed, O King of Evil!
The demon worshiper had behaved frivolously untoward like a ruffian when I came to his cell alone; however, the moment he saw the Dark Energy emanating from my body, he hastily knocked his forehead against the ground as he fell prostrate.
My Dark Energy was SSS-rank, the same level as Demon King Pedonar. In demon society, the one with greater Dark Energy was unconditionally the superior and senior, and this pecking order applied as is to demon worshipers as well. There was no need for the likes of feeble preaching or persuasion.
Swaaa-
When I showed a glimpse of my Dark Energy like it was an ID card, even those demon worshipers with the worst of attitudes would turn into meek sheep.
It was so easy that I was even on the verge of yawning.
[?]Perplexed: I dont think this was supposed to be the purpose behind the Saint event
Hey now! Miss Trainee Teacher. Its fine as long as the end result is the same!
This was a method would be directly made use of in role-ying games as well. By first bing familiar with the contents of a mission through a game walkthrough site, you would bring whatever Knight Captain Q needed to himbe it the subordinate he wanted you to find, the items and spoils and so onall at once to receive the rewards in session.
I didnt rush, however, as this was no game but reality. If the speed at which I reformed the demon worshipers was too fast, then I would inevitably draw Saintess Hs suspicion. That wouldnt be a favorable direction of events.
In addition
Number 3.
Please speak, O master of mine.
Pass over the unnecessary power in your body.
I hear and obey.
I was in the middle of earning some profit on the side as well.
Some among the demon worshipers possessed Divinity in their body. Despite losing themselves in the allure of Dark Energy and falling to corruption, they had been holding on to this thread of hope.
?Race: Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Monk(FaithDivinity)
?Skills: Close Quarters Combat(SS) Endurance(S) Faith(S) Divinity(S) Dark Energy(A)

I decided to grant salvation to these creatures who were suffering from their wavering and worldly desires.
I drew near the demon worshiper Monk, who wasnt able to move freely even inside the cell, and stuck in a straw made of Divinity(C).
Swuurlp-
?Race: Dark Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Fanatic(FaithMadness)
?Skills: Close Quarters Combat(SS) Dark Energy(SS) Endurance(S) Faith(S) Madness(S)

The conflict disappeared from the demon worshipers previously indecisive expression, and thebat potential of his formerly ambiguous hybrid set of Skills drastically rose as it became specialized in the element of Dark Energy.
I had also experienced growth as well.
Divinity(C)Divinity(B)
Although the efficiency of my proficiency level increasing was hopeless, as I currently didnt have the Job Hero, there were many in this great temple who were suffering due to being unable to put down their Divinity.
I was going to save them all!
And for free at that too.
What a hopeless busybody I am!
Oh my! Three people in a single day!
Saintess H was astonished at seeing the result of three demon worshipers having be well-behaved.
It wasnt easy as they were vicious savages.
I had broken some hard sweat absorbing their high-rank Divinity, which had acted up awfully.
Youve worked very hard indeed. I can tell how difficult it must have been even without having been there, Venerable Saint. Im a crybaby who couldnt even dare to reform these people, after all. I give you my sincere thanks.
Saintess H courteously bowed towards me.
I lightly waved a hand as I responded in humble fashion.
Its only the beginning. Ah! And I have a small request to make.
Please speak.
There are muppe- trustedpanions of mine outside the great temple. I would like for you to make it so they can stay in the great temple.
Its only a given that I do that much.
Saintess H smiled warmly as she replied in a refreshing manner.
And thus the K father and daughter also entered the great temple. These two were the precious bait to entice the angels. It would be troublesome if they ended up dying at the hands of angels out of my sight.
However
You are!
Boss K was frightened out of his wits upon sighting Saintess H who had permitted their entry.
Have we met somewhere before?
Saintess H so asked with a tilted head.
How could that be. Haha! I was merely marveling at how divine you are, Venerable Saintess, easily deserving of being appointed as a natural treasure. Hahaha!
Huhu! You overpraise me.
Having finished her business, Saintess H gave a gentle smile before turning around to leave.
While gazing at the rhythmic movements of Saintess Hs divine buttocks, theparison of which with that of a skinny Elf itself would be sphemy, Boss K whispered to me under his breath, Sir Hero. Please be wary of that Saintess.
He warned me with an utterly serious face.
That being the case, it was necessary for me to also respond with equal gravity.
Top or bottom?
Both are fatally dangerou- Hm-hm! I am not talking about the Saintess body. She is very closely rted to the teaching staff.
I know that much as well.
Eh? How did you?
Boss K asked with a disbelieving look on his face.
Simple. Because all the graduates summoned to the Hero Festival, without exception, start off by meeting Saintess H.
There was no way for the one leading the prologue to be an ordinary native, and that was why I was trying to obtain her.
Having secured the safety of the K father and daughter, I directed my focus onto the Saint event.
*
*
*
The Saint event. It definitely began with reforming the demon worshipers. A selection reward event that granted 1 point each time the Saint persuaded a demon worshiper into bing an ally.
Like how all business were like, however, additional expenses urring due to unforeseen circumstances or variables couldnt be helped.
The Saint event was like that as well.
I cant trust anybody aside from the Venerable Saint!
Dont ask me, but ask the Venerable Saint.
As only the Venerable Saint is my truth and belief
The reformed demon worshipers didnt follow the orders of Saintess H and the members of the great temple, because their bing well-behaved wasnt out of love for mankind.
It was out of absolute loyalty towards me!
They could be called true demon worshipers.
Saintess H spoke to me with a worried face.
Its terribleIm failing to obtain the trust of the heroes. There is no meaning to their reforming like this
I replied in a natural manner.
This cant be helped. Even if reformed, it isnt as if the fact they were imprisoned in the great temple for long will disappear; the feelings that have built up over that time wont be easily resolved. However, this might also be solved if I persuade them, but
I formed a circle with my thumb and forefinger.
Quick to catch on, Saintess H understood its meaning immediately.
Great Venerable Saint, if you aid me in gaining the trust of the heroes, I will award you an extra 1 point for each person.
I will lend my help with my everything.
And thus it became 2 points for each person!
Since there were 514 demon worshipers, I would be able to obtain 1028 points at the maximum. With that, I would likely be able to procure nearly all of the decent rewards in the treasure storehouse.
[?]Impressed: Student Kang Han Soo, youre good at scamming.
It aint scamming, but doing business, Miss Trainee Teacher.
I had umted 4 points so far since two days had passed from the events beginning. I had controlled my speed in order to avoid suspicious and throw Saintess H into suspense; however, I nned on gradually raising the pace from now on.
For now, I would start with the fourth reformed demon worshiper.
Hear me, Numbers 1 to 4.
Yes, Master.
Give themand, O King.
Curry favor with Saintess H and act as she desires you to. That is the way to drawing closer to our dearest wish.
Ooh!
I hear and obey!
The demon worshipers who received my order amicably approached Saintess H. They obediently responded to her conversations, and followed her directions well as well. Although they still wore cuffs and fetters, as the great temple couldntpletely lower their guards yet, they became able to go outside of their stifling cells.
It was simple work for me, having already experienced handling demon worshipers back at the Dumpling Kingdom. The demon worshipers hid their boiling aggression and animosity, and slowly melded into life at the great temple with smiling faces.
Thanks to that, my point umtion was going smoothly as well.
4 points8 points
The system of 2 points per reformed person wasplete.
I also raised my speed of work from this point on.
Hah! After that indecent-looking Saintess, now its a fledgeling Saint? You damned tool of god, bundled in hypocrisy, listen well! I am never going to cooperate with you lot here who make light of humanitys hope!
Not all of those imprisoned were demon worshipers; some were branded by a Hero as hostile demon worshipers under the pretext of not cooperating with the Heros party.
I didnt listen to their aggrieved storiesmy only interest was in their Status.
?Race: Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Cardinal(Religious InfluenceDivinity)

So he was a former cardinal?
This middle-aged man, whose honest-looking blue eyes made an impression, possessed Divinity(SS), a truly delicious-looking mass of power.
He began to recount his story of his own ord.
Back when he was still a cardinal, he witnessed a Heroan individual simr to that Sieg who raised his reputation despicablyin the act ofmitting an atrocity. Afterwards, he revolted against the Fantasy God that summoned this sex-loving, hypocritical so-called hero in disappointment and rage, but the result that followed was miserable as evident.
This was why a person needed to stand in line well.
I approached the righteous former cardinal who couldnt budge a single inch, and stuck a straw made of Divinity(B) in him.
Bastard! What are you trying to do to m- Eugyagyah?!
Bear with it just a little, my friend.

Having received plenty of my Dark Energy, the former cardinals expression turned iparably sereneperhaps a face high on drugs would appear as such. His past anguish was nowhere to be found, and while it did seem like his eyes, which had been as clear as the finest pure water, had turned as murky as the deep ocean, that was all just a trick of the mind.
The now be Archpriest shed tears as he spoke.
Ohh! Only now have I realized that you are my hope! How could have my life been so foolish until now?! I will offer my life to you, the true seeker of truth.
And then he kissed the back of my foot.
A damn man acting so filthy
Number 9, I shall be looking forward to your performance.
Please leave it to me!
In this manner, the reformed demon worshipers increased one after another. Their main duty was to hang about Saintess H, who doubled as the event supervisor on top of her own upation, and im, Weve been reformed!
Ahh! I love humanity.
Make the world as beautiful as Venerable Saintess!
Venerable Saintess, I apologize for speaking so rudely until now.
Please forgive my disrespect, Venerable Saintess.
The innocent Saintess H in turn responded to their words and apologies with a joyful heart. She was also proactive for the sake of strengthening their trust.
Its alright! Everyone!
Acting with sincerity! Kindness! Beauty!
But this was no easy thing to do either.
16 points314 points
It was fine when the number of demon worshipers were few. When their numbers passed 100, however, it reached a point where it was difficult for Saintess H to handle them by herselfa single day would pass even if she talked 10 minutes with each person. Nevertheless, Saintess H couldnt rest.
I made it so that she couldnt.
[?]Tears: The Saintess is too pitiful! Why doesnt the Labor Standards Act apply to her?
Miss Trainee Teacher, thats just how life is, isnt it?
This was nothing more than a warm-up toy the ground bait.
The demon worshipers, who had judged the time was ripe, discreetly proceeded to talk about me to Saintess H who was weary from mental fatigue. Their idtry was already beginning.
For instance
Venerable Saintess. Over there, do you see?
I see the Venerable Saint resting by the pond.
Indeed. Dont you think the Venerable Saint looks so wonderful, licking his lips while watching the mermaids?
Thats a bit Ah, yes. He really does look great.
And to give another example
For an amazing person such as the Venerable Saint to have remained single until now, this is a tragedy of humanity. Venerable Saintess also thinks so, right?
Yes, I agree.
Then I will believe in only you, Venerable Saintess.
Yes, just leave it to What?!
In the case of a fellow woman
Venerable Saintess, have you seen it by chance?
Seen what?
Venerable Saint in the nude. Ive seen it secretly. Ahh! Id have no regrets dying if I got to be held in his wide embrace and taken hard!
Ah, uh. Was it that amazing?
The demon worshipers stirred up Saintess H all day long. It didnt have much of an effect at first, but from the point the number of reformed demon worshipers passed 200, she ended up being swayed about one-sidedly.
And atst
Venerable Saint, theres something I must tell you.
Saintess H came talking to me, squirming shyly.
Please go on.
That could we talk in the garden? There are too many eyes here, so theres a quiet spot that no one goes to.
Then lets go.
I followed Saintess H and entered deep into the garden.
Very deep.
Chapter 47 - Overflowing with holiness!
Chapter 47: Overflowing with holiness!
*Note: There are some mildly erotic descriptions, but nothing too explicit.
Huh! That, isnt that the Saintess?
Is the man beside her that rumored Saint?
Where are the two going?
I saw several of the graduates wandering about the great temple. Although entry here was strictly prohibited, it was opened to the public to a limited extent as the temple became linked with the various events of Start City. The number of graduates who had visited the great temple through numerous routes werent few, but they didnt stand out in the least due to the scale of the garden being so overwhelming.
Upon sighting us in the midst of looking at the temples beautiful garden in fascination, they broke into whispers among their ownpany before furtively moving to chase after us, unable to bear their curiosity.
Eh? Where did they disappear to?
Strange. This is a single path, though?
They lost us in no time, however, and lost their way toothats howplex and dimly-lit the path we were taking was.
Saintess H began to speak.
Venerable Saint, please hold my hand. I, I have no ulterior motive! But that doesnt mean I dont have any at all, so please dont misunderstand!
This is perception interference magic?
Its simr. Its an enchantment based on primitive geomancy and Dragon Veins, put in ce by arranging the garden trees and rocks in a consistent pattern.
Is she talking about earth science? Not my specialty, so may as well just leave it at that.
For how long had we been heading in further deep, I wondered to myself, but it was then that Saintess Hs footsteps, that had seemed as if they would never stop, gradually slowed before she finally stopped in ce.
Venerable Saintess, have we arrived?
Yes, its here.
It was an extremely dark spot despite the broad daylight outside. There was a small pavilion with hexagonal pirs made of snow white marble, and surrounding it like a wall was a dense cluster of trees and shade nts. It was indeed a quiet ce as Saintess H had said.
Peek-peek.
Except for one thingone of the golems which guarded the great temple was here as well.
About what you wanted to tell me?
Here, no one can know, no one can see, and no one can listen in. Im very sorry, Venerable Saint! I spoke a lie! I cant hide this desire and these feelings anymore!
After yelling those words out with intensity, Saintess H came charging over at me, and I motionlessly took her on despite being able to dodge.
Jiggle~
Saintess H buried her face in my shoulder, and pressed her cushiony chest right against mine. But perhaps she hadnt thought of what woulde next? She merely stood there, body trembling fiercely. Or if not that
Haah!
Perhaps she was fully satisfied with just this lukewarm contact.
Saintess H breathed heavily in gasps, so hot and rough as to be heard by my ears, and she continued to make physical contact like a child demanding for something. But this didnt go on forever either.
Flinch.
Having noticed something by instinct, Saintess H attempted to tentatively withdraw herself; however, a man who would obediently allow this wasnt a man.
Grasp.
Venerable Saintess, you didnt lie.
With my right arm I hugged in close the slender small of her back, grabbing her to prevent escape, while with my left hand I caressed her from the ear and down, fingers barely touching.
Hmmh! B-but I
Weve already begun to talk.
With our bodies.
The outrageous nuns garb of Saintess H, who was handpicked by the teaching staff, was designed to slip off with a flutter by untying a single knot.
Fwip, Sss
The moment the ribbon behind her neck was undone, the nuns garb slipped off like a banana peel.
Euh!
The surprised Saintess H shut both her eyes tightly; it was only natural for the real experience to feel different despite having anticipated it quite a bit. She intively reached out her hands to grab her dropping clothes, but ultimately let them be.
Tug.
Instead, it was her gravity defying chest which caught her falling clothes.
I burst out inughter despite myself, and lightly removed that final resistance with the flick of a finger.
S
The nuns garb fell onto the grass below us like a waterfall, and thus Saintess Hs naked body was revealed.
It really is a fantasy
I subconsciously spoke aloud my own thoughts.
In this Hero Festival that the teaching staff had worked hard to prepare, it would be terrible if the gship signboard, who was to wee the guests invited to this festival, were to have shabby looks, no? And that was why Saintess H was thoroughly catered to the masses, possessing an appearance that could only be acknowledged as beautiful! by anybody regardless of age or gender. For this, the teaching staff had ignored realism and the human anatomy like they were trifles.
Wuuh
Saintess H curled her shoulders and pressed into my embrace more proactively. Her tense body seemed piteous, and the space between her tightly shut thighs was being protected by a flimsy piece of cloth.
I didnt hurry; I was cast in a different moldpared to those fantasy world savages that would lose their wits and rush in upon seeing a naked beauty. In a manner befitting that of a gentlemanly Earthling, I took a slow approach starting from the outside.
I first began with her upper lip.
Hm
Mmm
I carried forth with my n to hold my stance like this until the impregnable fortress called Saintess H raised the white g first and lowered the drawbridgeuntil she pleaded to be conquered, exhausted. I was already starting to look forward to that mome-
[?]Peek: Even Im getting all in a flutter for no reason
Mm? Why is Miss Trainee Teacher here? Get out already before I report you!
You too!
I tore away Saintess Hs drenched castle gates and hurled it towards a certain direction.
Aagh?! V-Venerable Saint! Thats!
St!
The triangle-shaped piece of cloth I threw covered the face of the golem which had been continuing to get on my nerves from a while ago; its adhesive strength was very much excellent due to being wet. With this, its sight waspleted blocked out. The golems body made of rock trembled hard as if feeling deep regret, but it didnt move due to its mission of being a watchman.
Venerable Saintess, dont mind it.
How can I no- Hauh!?
It was adult time from here on out.

Several days had passed after that happening, and Saintess Hwho was conquered even as far as her inner ward, which had not once permitted external invasion in her lifetimeweed the visit of her vanquisher today as well. Without reserve, I stuck a straw in her.
Swuurl-
And sucked in.
Once, twice, five times, ten times
?Race: Grand Human

?Skills: Immortal(SSS) Faith(SS) Divinity(SS) mor(S) Virtue(S)

As I had guessed, Saintess H was special; her Divinity(SS) never ran dry no matter how much I sucked on it. There were some among the demon worshipers who also had SS-rank Divinity, but their power had ended up drained in no time when I stuck in a straw and absorbed it. Saintess Hs Divinity, however, was infinite, evidence of an external influence which wasnt being shown in her Status.
Tsss
The Dark Energy that I injected into Saintess H was all extinguished. I spected that this also was due to an external influence outside of her Status.
[?]Exnation: Youre right. The festival cant proceed if the Saintess who is supposed to receive the guests either dies or bes corrupt, after all. Thats also why the security system of the great temple is abnormally high.
Miss Trainee Teacher affirmed my guess.
It was nothing bad for me, however.

Previously having merely reached A-rank in the Skill even after absorbing all the Divinity possessed by the 514 demon worshipers in the great temple, I was able to raise it further until achieving SS-rankall thanks to Saintess H who had infinite Divinity! But I wasnt able to reach SSS-rank in the end, as my proficiency level had stopped at 99.99%.
I didnt worry, however; I already knew the method to solve this problem.
The timese to use those points.
I had atst finished reforming all of the demon worshipers. While I could have made them all submit within a single day had I so wished, I had intentionally controlled the timing.
Saintess H wasnt the only one within the great temple: mermaids, gardeners, cleaners, cooks I had needed to fool all of them.
Of course, there was no need to be concerned with Saintess H now, as her mind and spirit had turned pitch-ck after having spent days listening to over 500 demon worshipers sing my praises on and on. Her body and heart was within my grasp as well. As for what was left now?
I dont know if she can be systematically subordinated.
I couldnt tell this until I tried.
As of now I had 1028 points, and the price Id forced on Saintess H through fabrications was 500 points. I had gathered enough points to have plenty leftover even after purchasing her; however, whether this would be allowed by the system was a separate issue that remained to be seen.
First
[Low-grade Divinity Increase Potion: 3 points]
[Middle-grade Divinity Increase Potion: 7 points]
[High-grade Divinity Increase Potion: 13 points]
[Top-grade Divinity Increase Potion: 20 points]
After buying all the potions that raised the Skill proficiency of Divinity, I continued chugging them down until my rank rose.
And atst
Divinity(SS)Divinity(SSS)
My proficiency level broke through 99.99% and my rank reached SSS-rank. Perhaps this was exactly how a Murim martial expert felt when they crossed over a wall!
Its amazing?
I could utter nothing else after confirming the effect had by this advancement.
As for the leftover dregs of potions, I evenly shared them between the K father and daughter as if showing generosity. With this, the two now had a way to break through the angels god-mode cheat.
Ooh! Thank you so much!
For Sir Hero to give us these precious potions
Theres nothing to be grateful about. Im only giving you these so as to avoid dying a dogs death by the angels hands, after all.
In addition to those potions, I purchased weapons imbued with the element of Dark Energy. These were also for the K pair.
If they still died with all this, then that couldnt be helped.
Venerable Saint, you have 896 points remaining, Saintess H said, having apanied me to the treasure storehouse as the supervisor. She was fidgeting with the price tag hung by her neck even as she spoke.
[A Certain Saintess Everything: 500 points]
I fell into thought while stroking my chin. Since I had raised Divinity to SSS-rank, I had no further business with Saintess H; I didnt really feel the need to invest 500 points in her. While that was indeed the case
Im curious is what Im saying.
What would happen if the guide(Saintess H) didnt appear in the prologue?
If I could witness the panicking sight of the graduates who had just entered the Hero Festival, 500 points wouldnt be wasted!
In addition, this was certain to cause neck-aching stress to the teaching staff who had prepared the festival. When taking all that into consideration, it was absolutely a hot deal.
[?]Dismay: Student Kang Han Soo, are you really going to do it?
Miss Trainee Teacher, are you really asking that?
But I wouldnt do so immediately; I began to quickly use up the remaining points I had.
[Low-grade Summon Increase Potion: 2 points]
[Middle-grade Summon Increase Potion: 5 points]
[High-grade Summon Increase Potion: 9 points]
[Top-grade Summon Increase Potion: 14 points]
Skill: Summon. A Skill that I didnt have. I intended on trying it out as Holy Sword 2 had remained even after regressing thanks to ck-Boxs effectwould a being summoned by myself also be kept? To confirm this, I forcibly raised the proficiency of the Skill, Summon, by the power of potions without training or study!
Summon(F)Summon(E)Summon(D)
I had barely achieved D-rank even after gulping down all those potions. It felt a bone-deep pain at not having a Heros perk of EXP 500%; however, I didnt be disappointed, as this was only a Skill meant for an experiment.
Afterwards, I stretched out my hand towards the potion which I had my eye on from the first day here.
[Low-grade Storage Expansion Potion: 5 points]
[Middle-grade Storage Expansion Potion: 10 points]
[High-grade Storage Expansion Potion: 15 points]
[Top-grade Storage Expansion Potion: 20 points]
Skill: Storage. A Skill that I had never seen even once before in Fantasias continents.
Miss Trainee Teacher? Exnation please!
[?]Troubled: Its as you guessed, Student Kang Han Soo. The mobile four-dimensional storage is a prohibited Skill that isnt released in Fantasias continents. You cant build up a team spirit if the need to divide heavy burdens with yourpanions disappears, right? There was also the intention to raise the festival participation rate of the graduates with this Skill as bait.
I deeply agreed with that reasoning, as I had also recruited Porter back in the 2nd ythrough. There was nothing to contemte about purchasing this.
I cleanly bought up all of the Storage Expansion Potions in the treasure storehouse and used them.
Storage(F)Storage(E)Storage(D)
I thought of confirmingter on as to how much could be stored with the Skill at D-rank.
Now, for the remaining points?
Venerable Saint, you have 535 points remaining, Saintess H informed me in an anxious tone. Her eyes had also turned extremely desperate, unlike how they were rxed in the beginning.
535 points.
I thought on with while rubbing my chinand then made a decision.
[Low-grade Energy Increase Potion: 1 point]
[A Certain Imperial Princess Garter Belt: 34 points]
[A Certain Saintess Everything: 500 points]
Light enveloped Saintess H and the garter belt, signifying that they had be bound to me. I had been feeling uncertain as to whether it would seed, but it really had. As for the insignificant dosage of Energy Potion, I chugged it down immediately!
With this, I had used up all the points I had.
[?]Resigned: Who will carry on the event if the festival-exclusive Saintess bes bound to a single individual? I dont know anymore either
Haha! Miss Trainee Teacher, think easy thoughts. The festival wont fall apart just because of one Saintess being take- Mm?
Creak!
Drrrk!
The two golems, that had been standing guard by the treasure storehouses entrance like a pair of ministers, turned to look at me, and rushed over without even an advance warning.
Now this I didnt expect!
Was it because a problem had urred to the core of the great temple, Saintess H? Still, facing two golems was within my capability.
Swiftly summoning forth Holy Sword 2 and amplifying my Skills, I proceeded to engage the golems, charging over like bulls, in closebat.
And then there was a sh of light!
Crash-!
m-!
The two golems that had copsed backward tumbled about the treasure storehouse. Cracks appeared in the walls and floor, and many of the rewards were destroyed or were sent flying everywhere. The golems sturdy bodies werent unscathed either.
Hahah!
I let loose a burst ofughter at the sight.
The golems guarding the great temple were definitely strong; however, as someone under the divine protection of Divinity(SSS), they werent my opponents. Perhaps it should be said it was a bad matchup for them.
Creak!
Creaak!
The other golems scattered across the great temple noticed the unusual disturbance and activated in unison.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
3,139 giants began to swarm towards the treasure storehouse.
Venerable Saint!
Sir Hero!
Saintess H and Elf K turned to look at me with anxious faces.
As for Boss K?
He was in the middle of going around the treasure storehouse amidst this emergency situation, diligently scarfing down various Skill increasing potions.
His eyes happening to meet mine, he yelled, Gulp! I shall be strong and help you! Sir Hero!
You sure talk well while focusing on chugging down Energy Increase Potions!
Its fine. There are plenty of guys wholl help other than you.
I activated Dark Energy(SSS) in tandem with Divinity(SSS).
Swaaaa-
[?]Mourning: Seniors
There wasnt only a horde of golems inside the great templethe 514 demon worshipers following me were on standby throughout the ce, having waited for the day of vengeance against the great temple that imprisoned them.
And that moment had finally arrived.
Wipe them all out.
Annihte not only the great temples golems, but even Start City!
The Saint event itself had ended.
Starting now was the exciting massacre event.
Chapter 48 - Chaos! Chaos! More chaos!
Chapter 48: Chaos! Chaos! More chaos!
Guegh?!
Kugh-?!
Golems and demon worshipers, the two groups shed. A fierce battle of destroying and killing broke out throughout the great temple. It was meaningless to hope for mercy and forgiveness from the heartless golems, but the demon worshipers didnt have the words peace and retreat in their dictionary.
The graduates embroiled into the mess didnt go unharmed either; after all, the disparity in standard was much too great. The watchmen guarding the deepest regions of the festival were ridiculously powerful, but the heroes that were imprisoned in those depths were even more monstrous than them. It wasnt a ce for the likes of the graduates to fit inthey were swept away like dust.
Wh-what on earth is- Uargh?!
Big Bro?! Kyagh-?!
While I did feel like I heard the voices of Virgin A and his girlfriend, it was all just a trick of the mind.
I didnt stand around idling during this time either.
Ting!
I had attempted to drink some potions like Boss K, reaching out a hand towards one of the ss bottles, but I failed. My hand failed to make contact, blocked by something formless.
A crime prevention system, is it.
It seemed there was a certain restriction ced on those not natives of this world. Since it was said that everything would be retrieved after the festival, aside from event rewards, it wasnt a situation I couldntpletely understand.
Then what about Saintess H?
Rice Cake, do you think you can collect the event rewards?
Ill try, Master.
There was no longer any need to hide or hesitate, and so we reverted to using the title and manner of speech that we had in that pitch-dark garden.
[?]Ludicrous: Calling the festival mascot as Rice Cake
Why? I think it suits her.
But as Miss Trainee Teacher was highly against it, the address of Rice Cake was abandoned.
In any case
I dont think I can do it either.
Saintess H had reached out towards an item on disy nearby, and like how it was with me, she failed to touch it as a repelling phenomenon urred.
Only the K father and daughter could freely touch the rewards.
Cant be helped if its not possible.
I ordered the K pair to go shopping in the treasure storehouse. What would be the point of just leaving them there?
Gulp.
Gulp.
The myriad kinds of Skill increasing potions that were prepared by the teaching staff for the festivals progress disappeared into the bellies of Boss K and Elf K. With this, hundreds of events would be scrapped due to the absence of rewards.
[?]Lament: Looks like the festival this year ispletely over.
Miss Trainee Teacher, theres something Im curious about.
[?]Ears Perked: About what?
Where are all the teachers?
While it wasnt my ce to say this, the Hero Festival looked on the brink of a break down. Wouldnt it be normal for them, the teachers, to show themselves to get things under control or punish me whatever the method? Yet not even a glimpse of them could be seen.
[?]Its the education policy. While it is possible to make adjustments at the starting stage, like how another student was paired with Student Kang Han Soo, its strictly forbidden for the teaching staff to interfere in the middle of things, and that goes the same for the festival.
In short, the teaching staff had to suck on their thumbs watching no matter what kind of emergency urred.
This was, at the same time, good and regrettable news for me.
Pity. I was thinking of sticking a pole into Professor Morals if I saw him.
But this wasnt bad either; if the teachers who possessed absolute authority didnt meddle in, then there would be as less unexpected variables. It would be safe to interpret that the strongest force the teaching staff had prepared was the 3,141 units of golems.
If so, there was nothing to fear.
The demon worshipers under me drove forward like a tidal wave.
Crash, Crunch!
The sturdy golems were destroy row after row. While they undoubtedly possessed superior performance, their Skill sets andbat style were fixed like mass produced models. On the other hand, the demon worshipers had clear unique characteristics, and had abundant battle experience that lived up to their past as heroes. As long as they got the hang of defeating them, the golems were nothing at all.
Kugh?!
Kyauh?!
But even so, the losses among the demon worshipers wasnt small. There were clear signs that this battle would end in mutual destruction should it continue at this rate, but I still had an ultimate card yet to be yed.
Resurrect them all.
Yes, Master. Ahh~??
Saintess H put her hands together and began to sing a wordless song.
This was wasnt a hymn for the Fantasy God. Like a canary bird, she sang a beautiful melody towards the sky, and immediately following that
sh-!
A divine ring of light began to spread from Saintess H.
Having stopped singing her sweet melody, she then shouted, Rise! My warriors!
And a miracle took ce.
Kuohh!
Is this resurrection!
Waah!
The demon worshipers who had beenying on the cold earth shot to their feet as one. Their loss in Level varied ording to the state their corpses had been in, but there was meaning in that they could fight again.
Boom! Crunch!
Thest golem was destroyed.
There was no way to deal with the numerical superiority of the demon worshipers, who were endlessly recycled through Saintess Hs special abilitythe defeat of the great temples side was decided from the start.
This was the moment the core facility of the Hero Festival, the great temple, fell within my grasp.
My followers! Arm yourselves with the treasures of the great temple!
The real game would start from here on.
Yes, O King.
Ohh! Thank you!
The demon worshipers fell under the category of fantasy world natives, which was why they could freely take the great temples treasures like the K father and daughter could. While the potions were already cleared out by the K pair, there still remained many of weapons and armors, essories and so on.
Clink, nk.
The rewards which were supposed to have been given the winners of the big event were provided to the demon worshipers, free of chargetheir performance and quality had no room for doubts. It was like having given wings to the demon worshipers, who were already strong enough as they were. These former heroes hade to possess even greater power than before.
And this wasnt the end of it.
Ahh~??
Saintess H sang a hymn from behind them, and the Saintess blessing was granted unto all the demon worshipers who followed me. As a blessing that only the Heros party could receive, its effect was guaranteed to be good.
Even stronger! Even sturdier! Even faster!
The might of the demon worshipers multiplied by folds.
[?]Pale-white: Its the birth of a really terrifyingbination
Miss Trainee Teacher, just being strong is the best thing.
The aura surrounding the demon worshipers was utterly fear-inspiring, having be fully armed and received Saintess Hs blessing.
They marched towards the outside of the great templeto kill all the Heroes that came into sight.
Uargh?!
R-run away?!
The demon worshipers werent homicidal maniacs; they were former heroes. While not all of them were the same, themon root cause of them changing sides or converting to demon worshipersy in disappointing Heroes.
And Heroes there were, as far as the eye could see. The graduates Job was no longer Hero, but their colorful and distinctive fashion, which contrasted with that of the natives, made it so they stood out wherever they went.
Punishment to the hypocrites!
Die! You sex-loving trash!
Repent by my iron mace!
The demon worshipers lit a fire in their eyes and proceeded to kill the graduates. They showed no mercy even if the other party looked virtuous or pretty.
A massacre without exception!
They were all cleaned up without even having to step in myself.
You wicked demon worshipers! Take my sworGueh?!
I wont forgive you by the power of love and justicKyagh?!
Although there were some graduates who thought it some manner of event and attempted to bravely fight back, it was a futile struggle.
Of course, had they at least had Holy Sword 1 in their possession, the battle would have turned outrgely different; its ultimate move which drew on the power of friendship was just that powerful. They didnt have that Holy Sword 1, however; right now it was a pure fight of Status.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 845
?Job: Warrior(BattleStamina)
?Skills: Stamina(A) Interpretation(A) Military Arts(B) Endurance(C) Agility(C)
?Condition: Courage, Fighting Spirit
This was the Status of a fellow who was the master of some guild. Perhaps even such soybean-level individuals were considered strong on Earth? There were many henchmen and pretty things following him.
The demon worshipers areing!
Dont retreat, but fight!
Maintain the defensive formation!
The demon worshipers, fearless down to thest one, plunged towards the jam packed formation of all the guild members including their masterlike frenzied, enraged wolves!
?Race: Dark Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Champion(CrisisFighting Skill)
?Skills: Dark Energy(SS) Fighting Skill(S) Stamina(S) Martial Arts(S) Agility(A)
?Condition: Blessing, Divine Protection, Doping, Empowerment, Enhancement
The guild and its members were blown away in a refreshing manner, like dust before wind. A guild made up of dozens of members was massacred within an instanta fight wasnt even established in the first ce.
Their Status is outrageous! Run!
The enemy has guys as strong as top-level demons all over the ce?!
We can win if we join strengGueh?!
I, I give up!
This sort of situation was ying out here and there across Start City. ording to Passerby 56s exnation, there were many famous guilds that had set up a guild office in this city, which was the most bustling location in the festival continent.
But it was futile even when these guilds joined their strength; a gathering of dust couldnt turn into a boulder. The disparity in fighting power was much too overwhelming.
I give!
I wanna give up! I give!
I give up too!
It wasnt the time to be twittering about love and friendship. The graduates, who didnt want to be horrifically murdered by the demon worshipers, shouted their surrender row after row and left the festival.
Hah! And they call them Heroes.
A burst of wryughter escaped my lips despite myself at the sight. So my graduation was put on hold because I fell behind the likes of those schmucks? The back of my neck began to ache.
[?]Mncholy: I wonder where things had begun to go wrong?
Huhu! Miss Trainee Teacher,y back and enjoy it. A festivals just a festival, right?
?Fretful: Please enjoy a festival like one should! It is said that trying to satisfy your desire through possessions is like trying to put out me with a straw! Student Kang Han Soo, it is not toote to stop this horrible ughterfest now!
Oh! Its been a while, Professor Morals.
?Skip: Save the greetings forter! One who covets everything is said to lose everything. This is not the right way. Ruin lies ahead of arrogance, and destruction lies ahead of a proud mind. There is no benefit to be had for you by wrecking everyones festival.
Your lecturing is very awesome like Saintess Hs ass!
Just hearing it caused my stress to build up.
I couldnt agree with his im of my wrecking the festival, however; I was merely enjoying it like the other graduates. The faulty in that weak bunch.
I cant y with them since theyre not on the same level~??
While I went on a leisurely stroll humming to myself, the demon worshipers who had dealt away with all the graduates present in Start City dispersed in every directionto kill even more Heroes!
Of course, even they werent invincible. The number of demon worshipers who were vanquished under the graduates cowardly power of friendship wasnt few, and some of them had picked fights with powerful event heroes, ending up defeated.
Nevertheless, I wasnt concerned by this. The great temples demon worshipers my rtionship with them was a trivial one where I called them by the numbers 1 to 514. It wouldnt matter to me even if they were to be entirely wiped out. I would only feel gratitude if they took care of one more graduate to lessen my work.
?Despair: The festival I poured my heart and soul into
Professor Morals preaching gradually died down; he seemed to have be exhausted by himself.
Had he gone away?
[?]Peek: Yes, hes gone. Whew! Seniors always strict no matter when. Student Kang Han Soo, while it hasnt been confirmed yet, I think my assignment as your teacher in charge will be extended. If that happens, then I hope for your cooperation in the 6th ythrough as well!
6th ythrough, huh
I sighed first thing upon hearing Miss Trainee Teachers words.
[?]Encourage: Cheer up! Youll be able to easilyplete your education if you steadily go through it all with me. I do feel uneasy due to the rumors saying the education process will be revised, but Im sure Im just imagining it!
I really hope thats how it is!
Sir Hero! Sir Hero! Take a look at the sky!
Having involuntarily looked upwards at Elf K making a fuss as she pulled at my sleeve, I was able to witness a rare scene.
Could that possibly be?
It was a gigantic flying lizard of jet-ck scales. There was something like a bridle and a silver leash being worn on its long neck, the end of which was being tightly held onto by dozens of angels.
The likes of angels didnt matter at allthe problem was the dragon they had dragged over.
Chaoooo~!
A yearning melody reverberated in the world, as the earth shook and sky fell silent at the supreme aura and majesty of a dragon.
I knew well the owner of this roar.
Oblivion Dragon King Noebius!
It seemed that a Five Disaster was also mobilized for the festival.
?Race: Chaos Dragon
?Level: 999+
?Job: Supreme Ruler(ConquestBattle Spirit)
?Skills: Chaos(SS) Destruction(SS) Oblivion(SS) Battle Spirit(S) Deadly Venom(S)
?Condition: Bridled
But it wasnt the bus driver that I knew. The one before me was far smaller in sizepared to the Oblivion Dragon King that was dying back then, and its Skill ranks were on the lower side overall. Perhaps it should be called a young Oblivion Dragon King? Nevertheless, there wasnt much difference between the time in the aspect of danger, as the young dragon king wasnt farsighted due to old age and had an extremely high uracy.
Noebius, let the iron hammer of punishment fall upon the filthy earth!
Having received the order of the angel that looked haughty like amander-in-chief, the Oblivion Dragon King opened its maw wide, and spewed out pitch-ck air.
Chaoooo!
The young dragon kings venomous breath descended upon the earth.
Pwwrfsh!
The venom didnt discriminate demon worshiper, graduate nor native. After pouring down from the sky like a waterfall onto the ground, it became a great ck flood and washed away everything in the area.
Ku-kuugh!
Deadly venom!
I, I cant brea-!
The entire ce was turned into and of death within an instant. Horrifying corpses that were either turned coal-ck from being poisoned or melted downy everywhere.
Are the two of you alright?
Yes.
I give you my thanks.
Saintess H was fine as she possessed Immortal(SSS), and the K father and daughter who were protected by her divine protection were also able toe out of it safe.
The rest, however, werepletely eliminated.
Guh
How regrettable
The demon worshipers who I had gone to such lengths to reform were also wiped out. As the state of their poisoned corpses was too bad, they couldnt be recycled even with Saintess Hs Resurrection. The early exit of the muppets who were supposed to help me in the massacre event was a bone-aching loss.
Really now
The timing was simply too marvelous. Was a teaching staff the one behind the angels who had lead over the young Oblivion Dragon King?
[?]Firm: No.
Uh, Miss Trainee Teacher? Dont you usually hear people saying that you cant take a hint?
That sinister Professor Morals had to be the one behind this!
Shiing-
I summoned forth Holy Sword 2.
But it was then that
Chaooo?
The movements of the Oblivion Dragon King, pitch-ck venomous breath held in its wide-open maw, unbelievably came to a pause.
The dragons eyes were fixed on Holy Sword 2.
Noebius, what is the matter? Quickly serve them punishment!
Chaoo.
The jet-ck dragon didnt budge even at themand of the angel tugging at its leash and making noiseits murky eyes only continued to gaze at Holy Sword 2.
Hooh?
I abruptly recalled then the plot bait Demon King Pedonar had thrown at me. Show Holy Sword 2 to the Oblivion Dragon King, was it?
An unexpected event suddenly urred.
Saint[?][?][?](Chaos=[?][?])
Hunnybuttachips: A huge thanks to the two folks(names omitted due to privacy) who donated. It was a great and happy surprise waking up to see that alert on gmail, truly, and encouraged me to keep at it with my all.
As an aside, I am very d that quite a few readers at Kobato are showing favorable responses regarding this novel, as I also find the story enjoyable myself.
Chapter 49 - Little Chaooo~!
Chapter 49: Little Chaooo~!
After the Skill, now even my Job had be mosaickedjust what sort of brutal or obscene R19+ Job could it be to deserve this?
Fortunately though, I was able to tell the Jobs perk right away.
Chaos=[?][?]
And so?
While I didnt sense a clear clear change in myself despite my Job having changed to a mosaic, there was something that I could tell immediately.
Chaooo.
Booom-!
The Oblivion Dragon King, which had been gazing at Holy Sword 2,nded on the ground.
Uah?!
Auh?!
The angels pulled on its reins, trying to get it under control somehow, but the gigantic dragon took no notice of them as it moved forwards, eventually stopping before me. The Oblivion Dragon King lowered its head to the ground with the gaggle of bewildered angels still clinging to its back, and drew its head as close as possible to Holy Sword 2, opening staring.
Even I felt slight tension at this moment; the one before me was the ultimate lifeform, a dragon, after all. Although I was overwhelmingly superior in terms of Skills, the advantage granted by the race Dragon was so outrageous as to easily scoff at this sort of disadvantage.
[?]Perplexed: I wonder whats about to happen?
I dont know either, Miss Trainee Teacher.
But the moment I saw Oblivion Dragon King Noebius murky eyes, I vaguely understood what it was I had to do. Perhaps it was because I had previously eaten the dragon kings heart? I didnt know the clear reason or cause. In addition
Chaooo.
Yeah.
I couldnt understand thenguage of dragons as usual. I could clearly perceive what it was trying to say, however, and I moved into action in acknowledgement.
Why is the sealed Holy Sword here?!
S-stop him!
Kill that man right this instant!
The angels attempted to attack me, but as they already had their hands full with just holding onto the dragon kings reins, there was nothing they could do.
There was only one hindrance that came my way.
?Race: Archangel
?Level: 999+
?Job: Tamer(TamingEXP)
?Skills: Divinity(SSS) Taming(SS) Animal Training(SS) Empathy(SS) Whip(SS)
?Condition: Enraged, Nervous, Disconcerted, Astonished
The haughty angel who had been giving orders to the dragon king stood in my way, a woman whose sensual body was wrapped around with a rope the width of a pinky like a bandage. It was an unconventional fashion style that begged the question upon being sighted: Can a person still manage their daily life like that?
I dont know how you got your hands on that key, but I wont leave you run amok as you please anyKyagh?!
I closed the distance with a pounce forward andnded a punch in the abdomen of the defenseless bandaged angel, following which my fist felt slightly numbI could tell that the rope wrapped around her body wasnt ordinary, at least.
But that was all.
You yap too much.
The angel seemed intent on releasing the ck rope wrapped around her arm to use as a whip, but undoing a rope tightly wound like apress took work as well; the time needed to prepare was too long, and this was an evidence of inadequatebat experience. All angels were like this, but it seemed it grew worse the higher ranked their cheat-like Skill, Divinity, was.
Haargh!
The angels face was twisted in pain, her two eyes that had thick eyshes and her full, light-pink lips both wide open, while a string of saliva dripped from the end of her tongue which inelegantly hung out of her mouth.
Tsk-tsk. What a messy look.
After tightly grasping hold the slender neck of the angel who had been bent over and setting her upright, I sucked on her hanging tongue like it was a straw.
Tssurb!
Mmb?!
Thump-thump!
The surprised angel struck my back with her fists in protest, but that wasnt enough to fend off or make a dent in my powerful body.
Swuurlp-!
I sucked out the entirety of her Divinity(SSS). The initial violent resistance of the angel quickly died down, until atst she settled down as if in resignation.
D-Dame Archangel?!
Bastard! To do that to her lips!
Oh! My god! How awful!
Some of the angels who had been holding on to the Oblivion Dragon Kings reins turned outraged and came rushing at me as one, to save the sole woman among theirpany who was bing like a dried squid.
But that was a mistake.
As the empathic connection with its tamers was cut, a gleam of rity shed in Oblivion Dragon King Noebius eyes that had been murky. Even its bridle had be loose due to a number of the angels breaking away from it.
Chaooo-!
Not letting go of this opportunity, the dragon king shook off the control of the angels and began to act as it pleased.
The first thing it did
Fwoosh-!
Was to swing its gigantic, jet-ck forelimb.
The angels who were still holding on to its leash defended themselves with their Divinity, which emitted shes of light upon making contact with the forelimb, but the Oblivion Dragon King broke through their barriers with brute force despite not possessing Divinity or Dark Energy.
Uaargh?!
Kyagh?!
Kuugh?!
The dragons ws that were much too bulky to be considered sharp raked itself across the group of angels.
Once, twice, thrice. Even with the Oblivion Dragon Kings yful swipes, dozens of angels became a mess of blood and dropped down.
R-run away!
We have to retreat!
Hiik?! I dont want to die!
The angels who were still holding onto the dragon kings leash, or had escaped the range of the ws by luck, lost the will to fight and turned their backs to flee, one after another.
The Oblivion Dragon King didnt allow this to happen, however.
Thwack!
It used its long tail to thrash down the body of an angel about to fly away in escapethe angel was ttened like a fly smacked by a fly swatter.
It was naturally an instant death.
S-save m-!
Chaooo!
The body of the pretty angel, who was attempting to flee to the skies while in tears, disappeared whole into the Oblivion Dragon Kings wide open maw.
Crunch, Munch!
The arms of that angel which stuck out from between the dragons teeth were severed at once and dropped to the ground.
Thud, Thud.
Hiik?!
N-no!
Falling even deeper into fear, the angels ran about in confusion, yet the woman who was supposed to be leading them had forgotten her duty and was in the middle of a date with a cool guy.
No more?
Auh
Our hot kiss had finallye to an end.
I admired the appearance of the angel that had turned haggard; hollow eyes, trembling limbs, body soaked in sweat. This pitiable look strangely provoked my instincts and desire to do battle as a man, but I decided to leave it at this for today.
Crack.
I broke the neck of the angel I was holding, and cleanly took her EXP as well.
Thanks for pouring everything out for me, Miss Angel. Well be together forever from now on.
Taking eternal responsibility after 30 seconds of dating!
I felt like I only suffered losses, each and every time.
[?]Rejection: Student Kang Han Soo! We should be friends only!
Miss Trainee Teacher, you took the words out of my mouth.
Chaoooo!
The Oblivion Dragon King, having massacred all of the angels without exception, let loose a mighty roar up towards the sky.
I tossed the corpse of the tamer angel towards that jet-ck dragon.
Snap!
The Oblivion Dragon King caught the corpse as if receiving feed, swallowing it in one go, and then came to lightlynd before me.
Thump.
Well then, shall we finish where we left off?
Chaooo.
I slowly walked beneath the dragon kings neck. The silver leash and long bridle on its neck was a restraining device that hadnt been on the old Oblivion Dragon King of Fantasias continents.
To start of with, I tried shing at it using Holy Sword 2.
Ting-!
Holy Sword 2, which had never failed to cut something until now, failed to slice apart the leash and bridle and was deflected. Even I found this result extremely surprising; however, I had vaguely expected thising too.
I knew it. This must be the way to use it.
I inserted the point of Holy Sword 2 like a key into the lock which connected the bridle and leash.
Click.
The lock was easily opened, meaning that Holy Sword was the key to this restraint from the start.
Ssss-
The size of the leash and bridle, which had fallen from Noebius thick neck, quickly shrankto the size of an average dog cor.
Pop!
I put that cor away into the storage which I had exchanged for using points from the event.
It was a restraining device that couldnt be cut even with my Holy Sword 2 that was empowered with SS-rank Skills. It wouldnt do to leave it carelessly lying around.
Its important to manage such a goo- dangerous item!
I was going to use it for a good cause someday.
[?]Troubled: Its said that a rat never bets its fate on a single hole, but why is it that I feel Student Kang Han Soo has blocked all those avable holes? I also feel like an important individual that mustnt be killed disappeared as a dragons snack
Miss Trainee Teacher, its all in your head!
The teaching staff would get things under control even if matters went awry.
Noebius. Youre super thankful to me, right?
Chaooo.
A majestic air surrounded the Oblivion Dragon King, Noebius, who had recovered its freedom, and its two eyes were burning with the light of vengeance.
This dragons Job was Supreme Ruler. It was a king who had walked the path of the mighty until the veryst moment of its life. It wasnt a creature to be dominated by some trifling tamer.
Then lets see through things to the end!
I leaped up and got on the Oblivion Dragon Kings head.
Now! Lets go flying with spirit, shall we!
Chaooo!
At that moment, the K father and daughter and Saintess H, who had all been watching the scene of the many angels being trampled under the dragon kings fury, came over in all a fluster, shouting.
Gasp! Are you going somewhere?
Sir Hero! Well follow you as well!
Master! Please take me as well!
Dear me! Carried away in the fun, I had briefly forgotten about the muppets.
Judging by their words, they seemed intent on following me to the end. I did find these muppets will to repay my kindnessmendable; however, I had no mind to allow him to apany me.
To Boss K, I said, Ille again 40 yearster when the next festival begins. Build up a huge force until then and receive me upon my return. And you! Straighten out your parenting. Your descendants are all nothing but retards full of loathing for humans.
He was the Third Elf King, making him a very remote ancestor of Sylvia.
Boss K was astonished upon hearing me speak of the future.
Loathing for humans?! Youre saying the likes of skinny Elves loathe the fruitful humans? I cant believe itto think that such awful descendants are of my lineage!
Following that, I gave Elf K some well-wishing words as well.
Drink your milk diligently. No matter how barren your genes, youll have be ady Id have the hots for if you develop for about ten thousand years like a sedimentaryyer.
Th-thats going too far
I wouldnt take no for an answer, even if sheined. I was a decisive man, after all!
And finally, I turned to look at Saintess H.
Hm. Your Immortal Skill is SSS-ranked, so you probably wont die even if you came along. Assist me and the Oblivion Dragon King, while hanging onto life like a sticky rice cake.
Yes, Master!
And
Click.
I didnt expect to have used this item so quickly.
Uh, Master? This is?
After putting the cor, which I took out from the storage Skill, around Saintess Hs neck, I tied the leash around the horn protruding from the Oblivion Dragon Kings head.
Dont fall off.
I predicted that fierce battles awaited us. The chances of Saintess H, who had poor physical abilities, falling off from the dragon kings head was extremely high. Of course, while she wouldnt die from falling thanks to Immortal(SSS), but I had no time to waste in searching for her if that happened.
My being held in Masters embrace
Dont bother me and hug the horn instead.
And thus, a party of two people and one dragon was formed.
Chaoooo~!
Noebius spread wide its three pairs of jet-ck wings and took to the sky.
All the creatures below on the ground trembled hard at the sight upon seeing the dragon. The graduates who had been enjoying the festival dazedly admired the majestic appearance of the Last Five Disaster, which they had thought only existed as a legend.
H-heavens
Oblivion Dragon King Noebius?
What kind of Status
The great majority of graduates hadnt actually seen Oblivion Dragon King Noebius before, as the jet-ck dragon that was nearing the end of its life would pass away before the Hero even properly began adventuring. I too had only known information about the dragon.
Huhu! Good info should be shared. Isnt that right?
Chaoo?
Noebius, burn your fearsomeness into the heads of those Heroes. Theyll realize it soon enough if you shower down a bit of venom.
Chaooooo~!
It seemed that my dearpanion had urately understood the meaning of my wordsit sprayed out a breath of venom on top of the humans.
Chwaaa-!
The dragon kings breath, unhindered by eyes gone with age, boasted an uracy of 99.9%. The insignificant bunch below that hadnt even managed to achieve Level 999 had no hope of surviving.
Now this is what you call friendship!
I didnt feel regret for the 514 demon worshipers who were wiped out.
I would carry out the massacre event with this wonderfulpanion of mine!
[?]Resigned: I suppose this can indeed also be called friendship, but
I had no thoughts of idling roaming about the festival continent. While I would be able to poison all the graduates to death within a fortnight with my dearpanion by my side, that would be troublesome and annoying, which was why I decided to take a shortcut this time as well.
Saintess H exined, Angels are guarding the Hero Festivals main event rewards; however, as even the location of the pce where the angels live in is uncertain, robbing the rewards is a very distant prospect.
So she said.
But my lips turned up into a grin at that.
Noebius. You heard that, right? Lets go take revenge on the angels starting now.
Chaooo!
Oblivion Dragon King Noebius had been held captive by the angels; it would naturally know the location of where the angels lived. It was as I had guessed.
Beyond the cotton-shaped clouds covering the sky like abyrinth
Its a dragon! A dragon is invading!
Gasp! The Oblivion Dragon King?!
Where is its bridle and Dame Archangel!
a world teeming with angels, who were harder to find than a movie actor back in Fantasias continents, came into view. It felt as if I hade to Hollywood.
After suffusing Holy Sword 2 with Dark Energy(SSS), I coated it over with Divinity(SSS), but these two energies that were pr opposites remained separate and achieved a bnce.
Whoosh-!
A ck and white whirlwind began to blow around the de of the sword.
Noebius. Youre ready, right?
Chaooooo~!
Lets show the true power of friendship to these white fools!
Chapter 50 - Unirrrrrr~!
Chapter 50: Unirrrrrr~!
Fr-!
Pitch-ck venom fell on top of the angels pce; a white building with a unique design that was devoid of stairs, bing of a structure made for angels who moved like birds with the wings on their back.
Sssrr
That pce began to turn ck and melt down starting from its roof which resembled a soft ice-cream.
Its a dragons breath!
D-dodge!
Hiik?! What is that?!
Countless frightened angels dashed out from the pce they resided in.
Chiii
Chii-
But the number of angels that survived was truly very fewthe Oblivion Dragon King, who had made an appearance without advance warning and abruptly began spouting its 100% lethality rate breath, was a natural disaster itself. The vast majority of the angels, who had either failed to realize the situation, or didnt have enough time to escape even if they did, shared the fate of the pce.
The scale of damage or casualties werent calcted, as this was no different to a bolt out of the blues to the angels, who had distanced themselves with the matters of the festival aside from safekeeping the rewards of the massacre event.
Chaooo~!
The young Oblivion Dragon King admired its own handiwork and let loose a roar of delight. The race and age of those of other races were unimportant to a dragon. Woman, child, elderly, infant no exception was made. Had it intended on making a differentiation, then it wouldnt have spat out a venomous breath capable ofrge-scale killing from the start.
Stop! You demon!
A mob of angels came rushing over, all of them possessing a Level over 999, and their Skills were also all a set of SS-rank and S-rank SkillsStatuses that couldnt even be imagined on the ground world, where even a single A-rank Skill would inspire trembling awe.
[?]Exnation: Thats because theyre part of the higher education curriculum, after all!
Miss Trainee Teacher so answered in a refreshing manner. When looking at it in terms of maths, it was only natural to know how to do calculus and statistics.
That so? The higher curriculum sure is easy.
I swung sideways Holy Sword 2 which was enveloped in a whirlwind of ck and white.
Boom! Crack! sh! Crash!
An area the size of a skiing grounds was obliterated, and the angels who were within range were reduced to fistfuls of dust. It was a miraculous harmony of Dark Energy and Divinity which prated their divine protection. Before this, angels were no different to humans.
If the higher education curriculum was about wiping out the angels, then I would have alreadye close to graduating.
[?]Troubled: The higher education curriculum isnt a schooling program thats about killing everyone. Its a deep study on clearly understanding and judging the concept of good and evil
It was a difficult subject to understand for methe angels were first in attacking me. Was there any room for good in this? Even if 99 of them were said to be kind, I would merely retaliate against those who attacked me, regardless of whomever they were.
Kuugh!
Aarggh?!
The angels were vulnerable to the whirlwind I had formed. Their limbs would be severed upon making even the slightest of contact with it, and they would drop out of the sky screaming in pain. The likes of this rabble of angels, who had always depended on their god-mode cheat, were no match for me, someone who had grown stronger while firmly enduring the tyranny of his 1st ythroughpanions.
It was far smoother than the time with the great temple.
Now this was the power of friendship!
No one could stop thebination of the Oblivion Dragon King and me, both having be empowered after receiving Saintess Hs blessing.
Stop! You bastards!
Unirrrrrr~!
The shout of an angel along with the neighing of a horse sounded out; a youth riding a winged white horse called a unicorn caught up to our flying speed, and stabbed at the dragon kings scales with his sharp spear. (Note: Pretty sure this is supposed to be Pegasus, but author apparently doesnt know so)
Puk!
Chaooo-?!
Crimson blood flowed out between the scales of the Oblivion Dragon King, who hadnt received any damage that could be called damage until now.
Even I couldnt help being surprised at that moment.
?Race: Grand Angel
?Level: 999+
?Job: Knight(LoyaltyFortitude)
?Skills: Divinity(SSS) Spearmanship(SSS) Fortitude(SSS) Piercing(SS) Horsemanship(SS)
?Condition: Wary, Combative Spirit
Just where had a delectable SSS-rank angel like this been and what had he been doing to have only made a leisurely appearance now?
Unirrrr!
The unicorn the youth was riding was also like him. This horse which had a horn on its forehead and a pair of wings on its back was extremely famous as a holy creature, and a rather strong power was contained in its horn. Letting only heroes and beauties ride itself, its flight ability was also first rate.
Fwip-fwip!
The Oblivion Dragon King brandished its tail about to strike down the unicorn that was flying around it like a mosquito, but it was with ease that the unicorn dodged those attacks which would spell danger even a singlended. And not only that
Pzzt-pzzt-!
A line of light simr to lightning, shot out from the unicorns horn, grazed past the scales of the dragon kingthe sturdy jet-ck scales were destroyed row after row and the flesh underneath was mercilessly torn out. This was equivalent to a scratchpared to the size of the Oblivion Dragon King, but even this level of injury couldnt be ignored if it continued to pile bit by bit.
Fighting like a weak insect.
Riding atop the dragon kings head, I let out a snort.
Lets show an example to that angel and unicorn who fight in a despicable manner, underhandedly hitting and running persistently.
Oblivion Dragon King Noebius wasnt alone, and I was going to teach these bugs properly what aplementary rtion and what the right man for the right job was.
I gave an order to Saintess H with a motion of my chin.
Yes, Master. Ahh~??
Saintess H, who had been holding onto the dragon kings horn so as to now fall off, began to sing a song with a beautiful melody.
Sss
The Oblivion Dragon Kings injuries were healed within an instant. The stabbing wound made by the SSS-rank angels spear, the scratch inflicted by the unicorns lightning, and the various minor injuries made by the numerous other angels cleanly disappeared.
It wasnt like there was no loss at all, just that
Oblivion Dragon King: Level 9000Level 8999
Saintess H: Level 2000Level 2001
the damage was insignificant like this. And even this didnt feel like a loss, since each time Oblivion Dragon King Noebius lost a Level from being healed, Saintess Hs Level would rise from doing the healing. It was just like a Hero party that never became weak.
Chaoooo!
Under Saintess Hs support, the dragon king didnt retreat nor be tired. Even the meagre loss in Level was being recovered by ughtering the angels, and the bugs had also noticed this factthat things looked hopeless at this rate.
Bastards-!
Unirrrrrr~!
Having given up making small and persistent attacks, the SSS-rank angel and unicorn overtook us in flight, and then aimed to attack the Oblivion Dragon Kings head; their first target was the eyes. It was obvious how they intended to steal the dragon kings vision, and furthermore pierce through the eye sockets to deal a direct blow to the brain.
It was my turn to act from here on.
By the power of friendship.
I didnt pursue after the angel and unicorn who fought in a cowardly manner using gueri tactics, as I knew they woulde over on their own at some point. In addition, as much as I had been waiting, the attack I had prepared for them was just as solid.
Paang-!
Having waited for the right moment while massacring the angels who flitted about like insects, I leaped forward in a straight line.
What?!
Unirr~?!
The SSS-rank angel and unicorn were frightened out of their wits; it seemed they had believed I would continue to fight standing on top of the Oblivion Dragon Kings head like a general; however, my specialty wasnt carrying out lukewarm ranged attacksit was fighting a bloody battle from close up in person! And my hobby was to gift herniated disks of the neck and waist.
I first began with the unicorn.
Thwack.
Unirrr~?!
Iunched a kick with all my might at the joint of the unicorns wings. It was a pity I didnt know about its body structure, as it was a horse and not human. Had I known, I would have let it lived the life of a horse that was eternally incapable of straightening its back.
Bastard! Attacking a holy creature!
The SSS-rank angel stabbed his spear towards me as he became enraged. I was unable to dodge his swift attack, as I had paused for a moment in midair due to kicking the unicorn.
Puk!
Just as nned.
The moment the spear stabbed my side, I grasped hold the grip of the SSS-rank angels splendid-looking spear with my left hand.
It hurt a little?
I shed a grin towards the SSS-rank angel.
Thi-this guy?
Cutting skull in return for a rib!
One for you! And one for me!
This was the tactic I most preferred when facing opponents who fought despicably with their thin bodies.
Puk!
I stabbed Holy Sword 2 into the SSS-rank angels shoulder.
Kuh-!
Oh?
But I couldnt help but to wear a pleased smile, as the body part I had been aiming for wasnt his shoulder; it was his nice-looking head. The SSS-rank angels judgement was swift, however; after kicking off and leaping up from the saddle of the unicorn, which would find it difficult to continue flying due to the damage done to its wing joint, he even boldly gave up the spear caught in my hand and flew into the air.
Chaooo-!
Unirr~?!
Snap!
The unicorn, abandoned by its master, was strenuously trying to run away before ending up disappearing into Oblivion Dragon King Noebius maw.
How could you have done something so horrible!
It makes me sad if you talk like that after having picked a fight first.
The brief conversation of distinguishing right and wrong came to an end with that.
Specks of light began to gather in the empty hands of the SSS-rank angel who had retreated in flight, forming a bow in his left and an arrow in his right.
Kiii
The SSS-rank angel immediately pulled on the bowstring, his target of course me.
Oops!
But my attack was faster.
Holy Sword 2, which was sent shooting over as my hand slipped, flew in a straight line under the added momentum of the whirlwind of Dark Energy and Divinity that suffused it.
Puk!
And cleanly made its mark in the lower belly of the SSS-rank angel.
Kauugh?!
The eyes of the SSS-rank angel, who had been pulling on the bowstring in a graceful manner, turned wide, and btedly lowered his head to look at Holy Sword 2.
Pzzt-!
Our powers of Divinity(SSS) were neutralized immediately after colliding, but the power of my Dark Energy(SSS) rapidly destroyed the angels body as it invaded.
I didnt go as far as confirming the angels deathit was fine as long as the EXP came in.
You have worked hard, Master.
Saintess H weed me with a bright smile as I dropped down and returned to Noebius head.
The situation?
It seemed there wasnt a need to even check. The white pce which the angels resided in had already been turned a deep ck from the Oblivion Dragon Kings fury, and the situation around the pce wasnt much different either. Even so, however, I asked Saintess H this question.
986 angels remain alive.
Saintess H reported an urate number without hesitation. Like how a Hero could see the Status of others, a Saintess who possessed the special power called resurrection could perceive the number of those deceased and those who survived in the area. She was like a life detector, perhaps.
Hah! There are still 986 angels alive amid this poison-filled ruins?
That is indeed so.
Keep checking. Until their number turns zero.
Yes, Master.
A Saintess special ability it was optimized as a detector for not leaving behind future troubles.
[?]Perplexed: Student Kang Han Soo? A Saintess special ability is meant to find survivors without losing hope, and to perceive the number of deceased that can be resurrected. Its not an ability that was given to wipe out others without exception!
Tsk-tsk. Miss Trainee Teacher doesnt know well I see. You cant make progress if you remain trapped by bias and not develop the various possibilities of an ability.
[?]Ears Perked: This is also self-development, is that what youre saying? Mm
Leaving Miss Trainee Teacher who had fallen into contemtion to her own devices, I took a look around the area of the angels home.
The main event reward wouldnt have melted as well, would it?
I had no n to massacre the angels, to begin with.
Chaoooo!
That was merely the wish of my dearpanion. My goal had always been to monopolize the Hero Festivals top reward without sharing it with another two.
If its the reward youre looking for, then its over there, Master.
Saintess H pointed in a direction with a finger.
I focused my gaze to where she was pointing at with bleary eyes.
Sure enough
Near the heart of the once-white pce that was melted down by the dragon kings venom, there was something buried in the ruins which hadnt been destroyed like it was a bomb shelter.
Chaooo.
p.
The Oblivion Dragon King, which had been admiring its own horrifying work in satisfaction, discovered it immediately after hearing Saintess Hs and my conversation, that something which jutted out like a sprouting nt from the middle of the city filled with venom and poisonous gas.
Thump-!
Noebiusnded before that object. It looked like a rectangr vault, and as it was big enough to allow the entry of thousands of people, it was confusing as to whether it was a treasure storehouse or a bomb shelter.
Perhaps it was both?
Creaak
Creak
After taking hold of the object with both forelimbs, the Oblivion Dragon King began to break it. The scene was just like a Komodo dragon cracking a walnut. It had seemed as if it would be crushed easily at first, but a repelling force was being exerted outwards from inside the object at some point.
Creak, Creaak-
A repetition ofpression and expansion. It seemed there was clearly something special inside.
Chaooo~
The dragon king seemed to be enjoying this situation. Even though the object would be simply destroyed if it pressed down on it using its entire body or bit with its maw, it was slowly pressing it using its forelimbs only.
Kugugugu.
And now the dragon king had outright dug the object out of the ruins and was rolling it about left and right.
As I quietly watched this scene with crossed arms, Saintess H whispered to me by the side.
Master. The life responses of the 986 survivors are concentrated inside that thing.
That so? Noebius.
The Oblivion Dragon King ceased yed around roughly at once.
Unless he was an idiot, the person in charge inside the object would have immediately realized the meaning of us stopping our attack.
Thunk.
A momentter, a group of angels hesitantly walked out in series from the rectangr box that had countless scratches and distortions from the dragons ws.
I asked a question to the man at their lead first.
Youre the angels representative?
Although my interest had already fallen by half its original level from the moment a fairplexioned man appeared like he was the leader, but it wasnt to the extent of not leaving leeway for talk.
The angel replied calmly.
Indeed I am, Hero of chaos. My name is
Rep A. Speak of the main subject only.
I was disinclined to listen to a pathetic talk of begging for mercy.
I was the victim, the other side the perpetrator. I was going to make this clear first.
Im the victim. Got that?
What unreasonabl- I, I understand!
I was very much surprised at being attacked by violent angels. Even now, my heart began to pound at recalling that moment.
I was justly demandingpensation for emotional distress!
[?]Doubt: Student Kang Han Soo being hurt?
Why? Am I not allowed to be hurt?
Chapter 51 - Festival closing ceremony
Chapter 51: Festival closing ceremony
Since we have shed with chaos, this must also be inevitable fate. We will give all we have to the victor. So please, at least spare the women and children behind me. They truly do not know anything.
Rep A pleaded on his knees, and I replied along with a shrug of my shoulders.
Me, well, Im a sucker of a Hero with a damn serious tendency to care for the business of others, so I am inclined to forgive so long as the reward is enough! Only, because mypanion is of an entirely different race, I dont think itll let them off for being women and children
Chaoooooo
Noebius looked down at the angels with fear-inspiring eyes, and Rep A hastened to speak while trembling all over.
G-give me just a moment! Time to convince!
Alright. Go on then.
The residential areas of the angels are decided by their roles. Among those, we were entrusted with the safekeeping of treasures. That is why we have various other treasures aside from thest reward of the festival.
The angels took out all sorts of things from inside the bomb shelter; weapons, shields, potions, clothing, tools, books, essories the type and uses were of great diversity, and their quality werent any inferior either. Even the final equipment I had created by gathering materials and making requests of those fellows called legendary cksmiths and tailors werent as splendid as these.
However, I could only be unenthusiastic as I was right nowmy own body that was covered all over with good Skills was far sturdier than what was presented.
While my defensive ability would rise slightly if I were to wear armor on top of my Skills, these things were no different than one-use items to me as I pursued thebat style of equally exchanging blows with the opponent. In short, theycked in quality.
For armors or shields to be worthy of me, they had to be of far better quality than what were brought before me; at the very least, they had to be on the standard of Holy Sword 2. As such, my interest quickly switched over to the massacre event.
What about the main event reward?
This is it.
Rep A held out three antique-looking boxes the size of baseballs to me. There were nametes generously ced on the boxes.
[Top-grade Summoning Ring Type A: Devious Angel]
[Top-grade Summoning Ring Type B: Adorable Angel]
[Top-grade Summoning Ring Type C: Cheerful Angel]
I could feel my eyes fall in disappointment the moment I saw them.
What exactly had I been expecting?
These are the rewards given to the final remaining three of the festival. Sealed in each of the rings are troublemaking children who are awaiting punishment. They will doubtless have noints, as they are children who admired the life on earth. You can be assured of their capability.
Rep A proudly exined about the rings, and the other angels nearby nodded in agreement as well.
[?]Affirmation: Student Kang Han Soo! Isnt it truly amazing? Omnipotent angels who can help out with everything, frombat to housework! And this is a trade secret, but its possible to use a powerful fusion technique when these three angels who were always on good terms with each other assemble!
Miss Trainee Teacher helped promote the rings as if in support.
Omnipotent, huh
I quietly put on the Type A ring and tried summoning the angel.
Light enveloped the ring and
sh!
Masters devious guardian angel, Sexy Riel, taking the stage~
Along with a shy performance showing off a rainbow-colored power of Divinity, a pretty angel looking to be in her early twenties appeared.
Shake, Shake, Shake, Swaying~
She even shook her limbs, waist and hips to go with it. I could tell at a nce that this was a choreography prepared for a long time with her heart and soul.
She was outfitted in a crudely made iron te armor that barely covered her important parts. As for her neck, shoulders, waist, buttocks, thighs, chest her bare skin waspletely out in the open making for easy targets to cut or stab at. If the spear held in her right hand wasnt an ornament, then that would mean she was abat type, but I felt she needed protection instead of her protecting her master.
?Race: Angel
?Level: 800
?Job: Lancer(Horsemanship=Spearmanship)
?Skills: Spearmanship(S) Divinity(S) Horsemanship(A) Interpretation(B) Chores(B)
?Condition: Anticipant, Excited
Setting aside her attire and mental state, her Status as an angel itself was on the excellent side. Of course, this appraisal was based on the graduates and not me. To them, who had miserable Statuses, the addition of this angel would definitely be encouraging.
I gave my overall rating.
Have I ever seen such trash!
Was I to view it as all three of the summoning rings being like this?
I had just thought up to that point when I felt Holy Sword 2 shakingit had reacted to the disappointing main event reward.
And the vibrationsing from Holy Sword 2 reached the three rings.
Crack, Crack, Crack.
It seemed like the rings had been about to fracture, but they ended up being directly destroyed.
Wh-what the heck?!
The Devious Angel who was summoned from the Type A ring let out an adorable scream. Without even a chance to do anything, she disappeared into specks of light like the destroyed rings and vanished into thin air.
Psss
Pzz
Although they hadnt gotten the chance to even make their appearances, the fates of the angels sealed inside the Type B and Type C rings were likely no different.
The main event rewards disappeared in a ridiculous manner; however, it didnt simply end at the rings being destroyed.
Whooosh~
The ck and white whirlwind enveloping Holy Sword 2 greedily absorbed the broken remains of the three destroyed rings, as well as the specks of light that were formerly the Type A angel.
Summon(D)Summon(B)Summon(A)Summon(S)
The summoning capabilities that had been contained inside the rings were wholly passed over to me. Thanks to that, my Skill Summon suddenly rose up to S-rank in one go!
But the chance didnt end at that.
Uh, uhh-?! Master?!
Saintess H, who was still wearing the cor as ever, called out to me as if screaming.
Chwrrr-!
The silver leash of the cor stuck tightly to the hilt of Holy Sword 2then began to pull at Saintess H like she was a bluefin tuna caught on a fishhook.
Pop! Pop!
Saintess H disappeared like she was sucked into a vacuum cleaner, along with her cor and leash.
Just what is all this?
It had truly happened in the blink of an eye. In all my 11 years spent in this fantasy world, it was my first time experiencing such a bewildering development.
However, this was but the beginning.
Sss
The form of Holy Sword 2 changed: a snow-white pair of wings was added to its crimson heart-shaped hilt. I couldnt suppress a shudder upon seeing this.
A feminine touch on top of being boorish?
Just what on earth was being done to a mans ymore! It was a preposterous design, which almost suggested that being stabbed with the sword would turn you into a ve of hot love instead of a cold corpse, like being shot by the arrow of a cupid.
[?]Startled: Student Kang Han Soo! Look up! Up! Up!
Miss Trainee Teacher began to make a fuss all of a sudden. Could there be something even more surprising than Holy Sword 2s changed design?
I took a furtive look above me and
?Race: Chaos Angel
?Level: 1
?Job: Saintess(FaithResurrection)
?Skills: Interpretation(S) Festival(F) Infinite(F)
?Condition: Summon
An angel who looked exactly the same as Saintess H was floating in mid air. On her back were three pairs of snowy-white wings, and for some reason she was wearing the garter belt which I had exchanged for using points. And a cor. A cor that was connected to Holy Sword 2 by a half-transparent chain. Putting aside this immoral style of hers, she boasted a figure that could very well be likened to the advent of a goddess.
Rice Cake?
While ignoring Miss Trainee Teachers nagging of telling me not to call the festival mascot in that manner, I examined Saintess Hs reaction.
Yes, Master.
Judging by her tone and the way she smartly addressed me, it seemed her mind and memories remained as they were despite the change in her race. That being the case
Go in.
Yes?
The gracefully flying Saintess H disappeared like a mirage.
I took a nce at my Status.

There was a change to my Skills: two skills that werent there until just now had been added.
Festival(F)
Infinite(F)
The Skills possessed by the angel version Saintess H. They were treated as separate while she was summoned, but it seemed I wouldpletely inherit her Skills when we became as one like EXP. To start off with, I decided to examine them one by one.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Festival
?Rank: F
?E: Move an event forward.
?F: Be acknowledged as an official of the festival.
It was obvious with one look that this Skill was exclusive to the Hero Festival.

Its usage was unclear as of the present. However

this one was different.
Awesome!
I was in an overall difficult situation from having lost the Job Hero. Although it wasnt noticeable yet as I hadnt been participating in the Hero Festival for long, my B-rank and below Skills which I didnt use much normally were falling in rank, one after another.
But there was no longer the need to worry any further.
The Skill Infinite(F) would protect them!
[?]Shudder: A whole two Administrator Skills on an outsider?
Miss Trainee Teacher, who had been quietly watching on, couldnt continue her words. Skills for administrators, she said. Surely it meant it was that good?
Why is nothing happening?
How has the festival?
The angels including Rep A were all currently stunned.
Why?
[?]Exnation: You should know as youve experienced it back at the great temple, but a anti-crime system is ced on event rewards. This time, however, the system didnt activate. Maybe my seniors let it slip from their minds? I dont know the clear reason either.
There had been another ulterior motive behind the angels obediently handing over the main event rewardsto awaken the powerful watchmen deployed throughout the skies, like the 3,141 golems that guarded the great temple.
However, the watchmen didnt move.
I knew it was too easy.
It was thanks to the anti-crime system set up by the teaching staff dysfunctioning. The exact cause for this was unclear.
Is the main event finished with this?
It wouldnt be strange if the Hero Festival came to an end any time from now on, which was why I needed to hurry a little.
Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop.
I put away a part of the angels treasures into my Storage. Given my way I would have taken them all, but the space was far toocking with the Skill at D-rank.
Chaooo.
My business was finished with this, but the young Oblivion Dragon King licked its lips while looking down at the angels.
Hiik?!
At least the women and children!
Gasp! Please spare just my life!
I prayed that the angels could do well in appeasing the humiliation and shame felt by Noebius who had been domesticated until recently. I was a third-party from here on.
But at that moment
?Sir Hero, was the festival enjoyable?
It was neither Miss Trainee Teacher or Professor Morals.
It was a disgusting copy and paste-er.
?The path of a true hero is truly difficult. But you who did not lose your hopes and dreams formed countless bonds with people which encouraged you on. From them you learned friendship and love, and after maturing together with them you became the final victor atst. Congrattions truly!
Final victor my ass!
There were still crowds of graduates below on the ground, but it seemed the festival was forcibly proceeding with the closing ceremony due to me monopolizing the main even rewards.
?Shall we take a look at your grading now?
My! And they said it was a festival? These people ran a scam again!
[?]Defending: Student Kang Han Soo, I told you from the start, that the Hero Festival also has the purpose of making it so the graduates didnt forget their lessons. But since theres no special benefit or the like from getting a good grade, I think you can just have a look with an easy heart.
Oh! Thats how it is, is it?
?Please check your report card carefully!
?Name: Kang Han Soo
?Combat Power: SSS
?Achievements: SS
?Reputation: FF
?Character: FFF
?Note: The festival that was prepared with difficulty became like this
Truly a beautiful report card it was. While I simply couldnt be convinced by my character grade being lower than my reputation, it seemed mybat ability and achievement were evaluated objectively.
?The festival has ended.
The phenomenon which always urred upon receiving a report card took celight began to envelop my body.
sh!
*
*
*
And I furtively opened my eyes. Mm?
Wheres this?
Lanuvel and the pce knights werent in sight. I wasnt even inside the pce.
Was this ce a colosseum?
?The path of a true hero is truly difficult. You will now be presented with two paths. The final three of the festival have gathered here. You may kill the other survivors and steal the reward; however, arge amount of EXP will be granted should you choose unity and coexistence. The time limit to decide is 10 minutes.
It was difficult to understand even after listening to the exnation. Arge amount of EXP?
Where the hell is this?
The festival ended already?
Kyah! Dont look!
The colosseum was crowded with graduates who were summoned like I was. A guy who was summoned while he was battling a monster, a hussy who was summoned in the middle of her showering, a couple summoned while they were tumbling about in bed all sorts of people were all gathered here.
It seemed like the final 3 were a bit too many?
[?]Troubled: I think the internal system has gotten messed up with the festivaling to a forced end due to unintended circumstances
Miss Trainee Teacher, dont you worry too much on that. This great Hero here, yours truly, is gonna lend a hand for free!
I just gotta kill em all except for just two within 10 minutes, yeah?
I swung Holy Sword 2.
Chapter 52 - Where is this? Who am I?
Chapter 52: Where is this? Who am I?
Hundreds of graduates were summoned into the small colosseum. Having heard You are the final remaining three aftering to face this unexpected event, they were still in the midst of confusionhow is this three people? I dont remember receiving a reward?
But they had no need to try hard to think on solving these question. After all, I was going to help them quickly leave starting now!
Kugh?!
Kyah?!
The power of Massacre(SS) which contained the Sword Ki of Holy Sword 2, enveloped in a ck and white whirlwind, swept through rows of the graduates.
As timing would have it, my Job changed at the same time.
[?][?][?]ughterer(ughter=Massacre)
My ughter was at SS-rank, thanks to which the effect of Massacre(SS) greatly increased. Approximately 15% of my rtively overwhelming attack struck the graduates in an entire area. Only a small minority of the graduates were capable of withstanding this attack with pure defensive ability, while the rest managed to live because of special effects such as area damage reduction. Whatever the case, there werent many who survived.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
The formerly great number of graduates had be reduced in mere moments, and the colosseum which had felt as crowded as the heart of a marketce became quiet.
I, I give!
I give up!
Pop! Pop! Pop!
The survivors who hadnt been taken care of with Massacre(SS) shouted I give up! one after another as they made their exit from the festivals closing ceremony colosseum. Theirs was a correct decision befitting of scum.
Lets see
I took a sweeping nce around myself. One, two, three, four only seven remained including myself in the rather empty colosseum.
Haargh!
Correction: only six remained now.
sh-!
I cut down the fellow who hade attacking my back in a nice vertical line. He seemed to have been quite confident, seeing how his Job was Assassin, but even Job perks were meaningless when the disparity in Status was this great.
Really! At least keep your trap shut if youre gonna make a surprise attack.
Did he think everything would work out with spirit and tenacity?
Taagh!
Yah!
The next opponents toe at me was a beautiful couple. Their attires were a neat match too. Although they didnt seem to have a fusion technique wrought by the harmony of Yin and Yang, their hot gazes towards each other were out of the ordinary.
It was the power of love which couldnt be fully described with words!
Use that on the bed, will you.
Since the crime of being detestable didnt apply, I was going to stomp on them easily. A couple was abination that had far more ws than synergy.
For example, even the individual skills of this couple werent simr; the man was far stronger. That being the case, I aimed for the woman.
Ting-!
The man blocked Holy Sword 2 which wasunched thrusting forward in a straight line.
Stagger~
But the bnce of his body was broken due to pushing himself over the limit to protect his beloved woman.
The power of love. Its good.
For tightening the noose around your own neck, that is.
I had known from the beginning that things would turn out like this, which was why I followed up with another move as naturally as flowing water.
Smack!
Inded a punch on the mans lower jaw.
Uugh!
But his head stopped in the midst of bending backwards.
Oh?
The man whom I had expected to fall t on his back held on with persistence.
Fwip!
He even retaliated while his mind was still in a dazed state, swinging his sword which almost slipped from his hand.
He fought under pressure because he knew the woman behind him would be next if he was defeated. His mentality was truly easy to understand, and as such, I once again aimed for the woman using Holy Sword 2.
How cowardly!
Crying out in outrage, the man grit his teeth as he blocked the blow, while I twisted the trajectory of Holy Sword 2 and directly shed at him from shoulder to neck.
Splurt-!
Crimson blood sprayed out from the cut, but it all disappeared before long.
Pop.
Hahah. Its aplete game.
This meant that it was a festival in the end, a fun celebration. You would revive on Earth with your Level slightly decreased upon death. It was in no way different from the restarting of a role-ying game. This being the case, I didnt feel much interestI had done nothing more than humor some graduates who didnt have a single bit of seriousness in them.
I, I give!
The woman, who had turned deathly pale the moment the man died, immediately fled.
Pop.
Is there now four left?
I only had to deal with one more.
The remaining time was 8 minutes. That was plenty. But who to take care of so that I would be known as just and upright
There was no need to ponder over who to pick.
Hah! What a truly bad fellow you are! Going for a frail woman first? Can you still call yourself a heroic man like that?! Ill carve into your unscrupulous bones what a true man is about!
There was a man who approached me while taunting in this manner. His bold strides and eyes burning with fiery zeal were filled with the confidence that he would win.
Truthfully, I couldnt at all understand his behaviour. Just what was it that made him so puffed up?
[?]Answer: Maybe hes like that fromparing your Statuses?
Miss Trainee Teacher, who had been remaining silent so as to not be a hindrance, abruptly stepped in to answer.
Compared our Statuses?
First, I examined the man.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Pugilist(Tenacity=Boxing)
?Skills: Boxing(SS) Endurance(S) Tenacity(S) Agility(S) Indestructible Body(S)
?Condition: ted
He was on the level of soybean flour that might barely be a match for one or two of the demon worshipers back at the great temple. He apparently came at me believing in this degree of ability.
Miss Trainee Teacher, how does my Status look like?
[?]Race: Arch-Human
[?]Level: 999+
[?]Job: ughterer(ughter=Massacre)
[?]Skills: Divinity(SSS) Fabrication(SS) Swimming(SS) Summon(S) Interpretation(A)
[?]Condition: Saintess
Miss Trainee Teacher was doing work!
It was my first time seeing my secret friend exerting herself.
[?]Pout: I helped you throughout the festival though!
In any case, my Status that was visible to others was extremely ambiguous. If you only looked at the Job ughterer, then I would seem like quite the fighter, but my Skill set was the example of a scammer who went around beaches and ind viges, taking advantage of innocent fishermen and female divers.
Apparently, only the Skills I had learned during the Hero Festival were shown. It was understandable for that self-styled real man to be so puffed up. However
Smack!
Wham!
It wasnt like my capability decreased just because it couldnt be seen.
You take one! Ill take one too!
I rotated my body while pretending to swing Holy Sword 2 sideways with my right hand, andunched a right roundhouse kick which carried that centrifugal force. We both attacked the others face, and the fight was settled right away.
Kugh?!
Didnt you say you were a real man?
My kick hadnded exactly on the lower jaw of the self-styled real man, the result of him being careless from having dodged Holy Sword 2.
The awkward fist of the real man failed to reach my face andnded on my shoulder, which only ended up breaking his wrist. Whether it be ability or guts, he wasnt my match.
I giii-
Smack-!
I didnt give him the chance to say I give up. He would recoverpletely after returning to Earth, in any case. The key was to give him a blow that would carve into his soul an experience that couldnt be forgotten even after going back.
I punched my fist deeply inside the fellow who had sung about being a real man, and activated Dark Energy(SSS).
Whooosh~
I delightfully churned up the inside of his head, praying that he would suffer from nightmares every single night.
Pop!
This makes three.
While listening to the various bullsh*t spouted by the graduates had taken up more time than the actual fighting, there still seemed to be about 6 minutes remaining. I only needed to wait from here on.
The people who had survived excluding myself were both women. It looked like with the men expressing to their hearts content thebat instinct of a male, only the females had remained as a natural result. Feeling it too boring to simply do nothing, I decided to examine the Statuses of the two survivors.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Sorcerer(Vigor=Sorcery)
?Skills: Vigor(SS) Sorcery(SS) Swordsmanship(S) Immunity(S) Interpretation(A)
?Condition: Nervous
This was an extremely rare JobSorcerer. If magic belonged to the realm of geniuses who had it easy with 99% talent, then sorcery was a pursuit of knowledge where one made progress through 49% effort, 49% funds and 1% inspiration. The specialty of a Sorcerer was magic branding. Normally, Magicians also dabbled in sorcery like it was a cultural study.
There were, however, asionally pure Sorcerers like this woman. Their Skills and attire would bepletely different from Magicians; dagger, hot pants, cape, long boots, suspender the outfit of a traveller easy to move in. But hung like tools on her belt that was worn around her hips in a bewitching fashion were rows of various scrolls. Bottles of medicine were attached in clusters to her suspender and long boots as well. They must have all been self-created with sorcery.
Dont be so tense. I wont eat you.
I gave that Sorcerer woman a reassuring smile, though she grew the more nervous for some reason.
Did you hide your Status using sorcery?
The Sorcerer who asked me this waspletely ready for battle. In her right hand she held a magic branded dagger, in her left a magic containing scroll, while small medicine bottles were inserted between each space of her fingers. These weapons were of the disposable-type like grenades that were prepared in advance, but in return, thebat power wrought by them would easily overwhelm a Magician of equal Level and Skills.
Lady. Your question is much too stupid.
Perhaps she hadnt been taught the lesson not to overly believe in anothers Status in the fantasy world. Statuses couldnt be seen from Level 999 and above. As long as you paid attention to this, you could develop the ability to roughly measure an opponents capability.
The festival this time around. You did something, didnt you?
The Sorcerer woman who had her eyes narrowed like a sly snake tried giving me a leading question; however, having already lost interest in her, I didnt answer. The woman took no notice of this and continued to talk.
The message about being granted arge amount of EXP if three people unite and cooperate. Although you did ughter hundreds by yourself, the system will probably find no problem with that. Did you spare the two of us aiming for this reward?
The woman beside the Sorcerer was nothing much to speak of.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Swordsman(Stamina=Swordsmanship)
?Skills: Swordsmanship(S) Stamina(S) Agility(A) Sword Ki(A) Interpretation(A)
?Condition: Nervous
When only looking at her Status, she was the inferior version of Sword King Alex. But seeing how this level of capability seemed to amount to the top 1% on Earth in spite of this, I was truly at a loss for words.
Now not even a minute of the time limit remained.
The Sorcerer woman I was ignoring was still talking.
You might have not heard of my real name, but you must have heard of Yma Ugh! Ignoring me till the end, is it. Fine! My memory is on the extremely excellent side. Ill clearly remember your face. Ill use all the means at my disposal and find you for sure, so lets meet again on Earth and talk.
Was she a stalker?
She did have a wonderfully good figure, though. It was enough for me to be willing to spare at least a night for her after the festival ended, unfortunate though it was, I wouldnt be on Earth.
Damned teaching staff! Hope you all get cursed!
?10 minutes have passed. The final remaining three gathered in the festival chose unity and cooperation. Arge amount of EXP will be granted to you all who have made a difficult decision. Congrattions, truly!
EXP hadnt meant that only our Level would increasethe proficiency of all my Skills rose evenly.
Hah! Now this I didnt know.
I let out a wryugh after checking my Status, because even the Skills which I had no way of improving had risen in proficiency as well.
Infinite(F)Infinite(E)
Festival(F)Festival(E)
And this wasnt all. Divinity, which could be said to be the greatest fruit of mybor in this festival I had been continuously regretting how I couldnt make it go over SSS-rank despite receiving the cooperation of the angels, yet the closing ceremony put a stop to that.
Divinity(SSS)Divinity(MAX)
MAX-rank. This was my first time witnessing a MAX-rank even in all my 11 years spent in the fantasy world.
Lets take a close look at the Skil-
?The awards ceremony has ended.
My! How hasty.
I decided to check the effect of Divinity(MAX) back at the continents of Fantasia.
Good going, everyone.
You, Ill make sure to find you!
Pop! Pop!
The two women disappeared first.
In response to the Sorcerer woman sending me a wink right before returning to Earth, I had given her the middle finger. Thinking back to her expression at that moment truly made me grin.
?Beginning re-test.
That repulsive light swiftly enveloped my body.
Resisting was unfortunately beyond me.
?The teaching staff are holding a meeting on what to do with you.
?A specialist instructor will be dispatched.
?A specialist instructor will be dispatched.
?A specialist instructor will be dispatched.
?There is no specialist instructor to be dispatched.

*
I aroused myself from a slightly fuzzy state of mind. It was about time to have be gradually used to it, this being my 6th time, but it seemed I was suffering a great bacsh due to my increased number of Skills, like when Demon King Pedonar suffered from the reduction in Level. Now this was a problem I had to contemte a bit seriously.
Brother! Eat your meal!
The wannabe cute voice of Lanuvel didnt fail to sound by my ears. Calling our Sir Hero over and ove- Mm?
Brother?
Mhm, Brother Jobless. Get up quickly~ Come on~
I wasnt lying on a highest quality bed of the royal pce, made with feather and cotton fillings. Lanuvel shook me awake as Iy on a bed formoners whichprised of sheepskin roughly stretched over a wooden board
Lanuvel?
Mhm! Im your adorable little sister, Lanuvel, who doesnt resemble you in the slightest, Brother!
Thats the sort of setting it is, huh.
And it seemed the tutorial exnation that went Save this world from the resurrected Demon King! was outright skipped.
Setting?
I marveled for 10 seconds at my patience and self-restraint in not breaking Lanuvels neck as she tilted her head to the side in feigned cuteness.
I stood up from the creaky bed, and took in my surroundings.
A shabby-looking house interior.
A shabby smell.
A shabby little sister.
Even the stabling of the Dumpling Kingdoms pce would be more magnificent than this ce.
I opened wide the only window in the house.
And as expected
Hahahah! Right. Theres no rule saying that you have to import a Hero.
I had ended up being treated as a native of this world.
Chapter 53 - Kind village residents
Chapter 53: Kind vige residents
Still in disbelief even after seeing the changed scenery, I thrust my head out the window and swiftly scanned the area. Forest, field, wooden buildings, dirt road, people, livestock this was a ssic fantasy vige.
The worst of residential areas with the lowest sanitation, even in this fantasy world that was without flush toilets. An Earthling like me could only think How do they live unconcernedly in this kind of living hell? towards the fantasy world natives idea of cleanliness; it was literally like living due to not being able to die.
Brother, quickly get changed and eat.
Despite being treated like one of the natives, my outfit remained as a uniform of Earth. I found it extremely suspicious how Lanuvel disregarded this point as if it were nothing important, so I decided to test her.
Lanuvel.
Mm?
Whats my name?
She had been awfully grating on my nerves from a while ago, calling me Brother; it felt like her wannabe cute act was upgraded by a stage. But this whole situation was a sloppy mess after all; throwing me into a total strangers home and tying us up as family? It was far too unreasonable. This sort of casual scissors-and-paste job done by the teaching staff-
What moronic nonsense is this, all of a sudden? Brother is Brother. How should I know of a name that Brother hasnt told me?
I received a rebuke of nonsensical logic from Lanuvel.
My fist cried out for justice, but I held it back with transcendental patienceI couldnt have my character called into question due to domestic violence against little sister.
Afterwards
The clothes are really truly plebeian.
I went through all the clothes inside the shabby closet. The first thing that caught my eyes were the shirt and trousers that were sewed with space to spare so anyone could easily wear them. Clothes that fitted the body just right like on Earth were a luxury to themoners of this fantasy world. Here, it wasmon sense to hold on for 3 years at a time wearing the clothes gifted on your birthday.
This was whymoners were clothes hangers that fitted the clothes. Men were bottles, women were c bottles. This standard of body figure was actively rmended so that the clothes could be handed down to neighbors or rtives when you outgrew them. Perhaps this was why there were manydies with nice figures?
Brother! What are you doing where your little sister can see!
Lanuvel, this wretched girl, had been watching on with ssy eyes before uttering a protest with a slightly reddened face, when she should have been aware that I was about to change.
Whump!
I tossed my uniform at Lanuvels face in response.
Had my character truly been the lowest of the low like the Fantasy God narrow-mindedly imed, then I would have thrown my 0.3mm mechanical pencil instead of the uniform.
Lanuvel. Shut your trap before I strip you.
Aww
After changing into shabby casual wear, I moved from the bedroom to the living room with Lanuvel in tow.
There was nothing in the living room.
Brother, what is it?
Nothing.
Fortunately, it seemed there was no story setting that went along the lines of I am your father. I would have genuinely flipped out if the teaching staff had gone so far as to insert that in a contrived manner and force it on me.
The dishes that Lanuvel had prepared in advanced on the dining table were quite excellent. Hot mushroom soup, soft rye bread, smoked mutton, fresh sd, cool horse milk, dessert fruit Truthfully, this was far toovish a feast to be called a single meal of amoner household.
Lanuvel cooked all this?
ording to all my experiences in the 1st ythrough, Lanuvels cooking skill was far from being bad, but was rather outstanding instead. Her ability to whip up meals edible for people regardless of poor environment, food materials and tools was really amazing. Of course, the fantasy element had to be included.
ck.
Swaa.
After eating, Lanuvel cleaned the dishes using livelihood magic. The hot soup, cold horse milk and so on were all products of her temperature controlling auxiliary magic. If I were to request it, then it should even be possible for her to make fruit with shaved ice as dessert; however, whatever the case, it was a bit too much for a single meal.
It feels like it was a final feast?
I was confident to not be surprised even if Demon King Pedonar were to pop out of the blues. It would be the Demon Kings deathday and not mine, though.
Youre too much, even though you ate well!
Lanuvel thus fretfully eximed after immediately freezing the leftover food and storing them all away in a four-dimensional space.
I was slightly surprised at seeing her four-dimensional space magic, as that was a top-ss auxiliary magic which Lanuvel could only learn muchter in the 1st ythrough. Could it be that even her Status had changed along with the story setting?
?Race: Human
?Level: 200
?Job: Schr(Knowledge=Sorcery)
?Skills: Magic(A) Sorcery(A) Charm(B) Cooking(B) Eternal Youth(C)
?Condition: Pleased
That wasnt the case. She had the exact same Status as the Lanuvel in my memories, who would shout Wee Sir Hero, initially had.
But I focused my attention on her Job, Schr.
Schr, a Job that increased the rank of Sorcery in proportion to umted knowledge. It made for a contrast with the Job, Sorcerer, whose Sorcery would improve along with higher ranks of Vigor, a Skill which evenly trained the body and mind. This being the case, things became simple.
Does this mean she was infused with a whole load of knowledge by the Fantasy God?
The story setting of her being my little sister had to be linked to that as well. While I didnt know what kind of knowledge was added to Lanuvels head along with the change in education curriculum, it was definitely a sinister plot to try and control me.
It was necessary to be wary of the self-styled little sister, and as such
I took a stroll around Start Vige by myself. After shaking Lanuvel off my tail who had tried to inconspicuously follow after me, I took the time to organize the situation.
For starters, my Status.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Interpretation(A) [?][?]D
?Condition: Good
It was so cute and modest that I was on the verge of tears.
I immediately activated ck-Box.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Divinity(MAX) Battle Spirit(SSS) Dark Energy(SSS) Massacre(SSS) Fabrication(SS) Chaos(SS) Destruction(SS) Tolerance(SS) Deadly Venom(SS) Physical Strength(SS) Endurance(SS) Agility(SS) Fighting Skill(SS) Five Senses(SS) Swordsmanship(SS) Majesty(SS) Oblivion(SS) Governance(SS) Swimming(SS) Boxing(SS) Sword Ki(SS) ughter(SS) Judgement(SS) Immortal(SS) Madness(SS) Summon(S) Empathy(S) Close Quarters Combat(S) Body Technique(S) Edification(S) Fortitude(S) Breakthrough(S) Stamina(S) Negotiation(S) Detect Foe(S) Breath(S) Recovery(S) Trade(S) Perseverance(S) Vitality(S) Tenacity(S) Incitement(S) Resistance(S) Vigor(S) Regeneration(S) Immunity(S) Composure(S) Iron Wall(S) Indestructible Body(S) Animal Training(S) Spear Throwing(S) Roar(S) Taunt(S) Threaten(S) Taboo(S) Pursuit(S) Mental Capacity(S) Murder(S) Coercion(S) Rage(S) Pige(S) Cajole(S) Taming(S) uracy(S) Evasion(S) Sprint(S) Command(S) Search(S) Blessing(S) Fortune(A)
?Condition: Holy Sword, Saintess
A beautiful banquet of Skills!
My Level, however, hadnt been recovered and was reset, the reason being that ck-Box was deactivated during the regression process. This meant that Infinity(E), the Administrator Skill I had obtained through the subordinated Saintess H, would be of no use before regression. But that wasnt to say that this Skill was useless.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Infinite
?Rank: E
?D: Racial discrimination disappears.
?E: Level will not decrease.
?F: Rank will not fall.
Because it meant I would suffer no loss in Level or EXP even if I were to receive healing or blessings from a cleric. As for the eye-catching D-rank effect, however, I felt it was somewhat odd.
Racial discrimination disappears?
Perhaps it was something simr to President Lincolns emancipation of ves. As no answer woulde out even if I were to muse upon this for the time being, I moved on to a realistic issue.
I activated the examine in detail function for Divinity(MAX), which had been put on hold as I passed over to the 6th ythrough without even the chance to confirm it.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Divinity
?Rank: MAX
[?]Z: Simply divine.
?SSS: Receive worship.
?SS: Employ divine reflection.
?S: Ignore regr attacks.
?A: Praise the heavens.
?B: Purify Dark Energy.
?C: Employ divine defense.
?D: Grant blessing.
?E: Withstand Dark Energy.
?F: Employ divine attack.
Until now, I had thought that MAX-rank which meant SSS-rank proficiency at 100% was as far as it could go, yet it turned out this was nothing more than a gateway to a new beginning.
The following was also information I found out through the examine in detail function.
?MAX: You have reached the growth limit of the ordinary domain. You must use another Skill as offering in order to break through the limit. The greater the offerings rank, the greater the gain. Proficiency levels of the ordinary domain is no longer needed starting from the transcendental domain, Z-rank.
Offering, is it
It was one hurdle after another; however, I was a prepared manI had an abundance of Skills piled up over the repeated ythroughs.
I used all the Skills I had below B-rank, which I either didnt use much or didnt need, and used them as offerings in order to reach Z-rank in Divinity.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Divinity
?Rank: MAX
[?]Z: Simply divine. (6%)
However, it was ridiculouslycking.
A mere 6%?
[?]Peek: Student Kang Han Soo, hello again? Ive been put in charge of you again due to my seniors strong rmendation. Are you adjusting well to the new curriculum? Though it doesnt seem that way, judging by that serious expression.
Ah! Miss Trainee Teacher. Listen, will you. This so-called limit breakthrough, isnt itpletely nuts?
[?]Agreement: Ah! I also think its nuts. The difficulty is so awful that even the higher education examinees would give up. Which is why, please make a careful choice! Itll be like throwing water on thirsty soil until the limit breakthrough isplete.
Or so she said.
I didnt feel reluctant to part with my Skills, however.
I put in all of my A-rank and S-rank Skills as offerings.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Divinity
?Rank: MAX
[?]Z: Simply divine. (28%)
Yet it was stillcking. But it seemed the exnation regarding how the gain would be greater ording to the rank of the Skill being offered up was certain.
[?]Worry: How about leaving it at that?
I turned a deaf ear to Miss Trainee Teachers dissuasion. While it might seem like a great waste from her perspective, to me it was like opening a mere years saving of a piggy bank.
There was something else that was truly precious.
Goddamned regression.
My fantasy adventures in the 1st ythrough went on for a whole 10 years. Regardless of the process and oue being good or bad, it was the life I had walked, and yet my 10 years were denied in a single regression. Compared to the sense of loss I had felt at that time, a year was really nothing.
Thus, I did away with my SS-rank Skills without regret as well. Aside from several Skills that I judged as important or necessary for the time being, I put them all up as offerings.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Divinity
?Rank: MAX
[?]Z: Simply divine. (75%)
But it was, still,cking. I was ultimately forced to sacrifice even my SSS-rank Skills. Miss Trainee Teacher began to feel distressed in my ce, but I even felt lighthearted as if I were clearing away burdens that had umted over a year.
I used two SSS-rank Skills which I judged to be easy to rank upter on as offerings. As it wasnt enough even with that, I had to additionally give up some among the SS-rank and S-rank Skills which I had held onto dearly. At this time, even I felt my stomach burn slightly.
And thus, it waspleted.

If I were to calcte the time I had taken to use the Skills umted over a year as offerings to break through the rank limit, it wouldnt have even taken 10 seconds. It felt like I had dumped cash into a premium game for adults.
[?]Shiver: Limit breakthroughs are supposed to be reserved for people born with golden spoons in their mouths I didnt think Student Kang Han Soo came under that category.
Oh! Miss Trainee Teachers got quite the discerning eye. I was indeed born with Skills in my mouth. And this is the result.

A wryugh escaped my lips at seeing my Status suddenly emptyit was like having be the emperor with no clothes.
However
Whoong
If I were asked whether I had be weak, then I would reply in the negative. I could understand why it was called the transcendental domain starting from Z-rank.
The effect of Divinity(Z) manifested itself naturally.
Ohh! This holiness!
Wh-who exactly is that person!
Heavens! Oh Lord above!
The vigers nearby, who had been treating me as Jobless A until just a moment ago, fell to their knees and began to shed tears of deep emotion. There was no such thing as a clear reason for this.
It was because I was simply divine.
Hear me, you humble vigers! You will be happy if you look into my eyes!
Ahh!
Ohh!
My words, behaviour, life situation, hobby, condition everything had be holy.
But it was at that moment that
Brother! Youll face divine punishment if you leave your little sister behind! Ill introduce the neighbors to you starting now! Theyre all good peop- Uh?!
I heard Lanuvels wannabe cute voiceing from behind.
Ipletely agreed with her words.
Youre right. Theyre a rather fine bunch.
They were easier to handle than demon worshipers.
Chapter 54 - Simply a Hero!
Chapter 54: Simply a Hero!
[?]Confused: Its said that someone with good neighbors will wake up to a good morning. But I dont have the confidence to say whether this situation is good Would it be better to seek advice from my seniors?
Miss Trainee Teacher! Have confidence!
I grew quickly intimate with the vigers. Being the kind folk they were, they provided plenty of food and a rather nice ce to sleep in for free, and each vige maiden I came across would tacitly ask whether I needed a soft hot pack to warm a chilly night. I was on the verge of feeling sorry for not being able to receive all their generosity.
And thus a fornite passed.
My jobless brother
Lanuvel yed cute, pouting with a cross look on her face. Although I used to leave her behind before moving about, she was useful for fending off thedies who came flirting at every moment. But of course, this shabby little sister was quite annoying as well.
Whats your problem?
Uum just because?
It had now be clear that this self-styled little sister was under the influence of the teaching staffmy Divinity(Z) didnt have much of an effect on Lanuvel. Or was it that all the Herospanions were like this? I thought it best to make a confirmation when the opportunity arose.
These are the grapes weve harvested today. Please receive them.
I cant fall asleep every night, Lord Saint. Ahh! Lord Saint!
I had a sad experience, but things became better thanks to Lord Saint!
Lord Saint, this is apple jam we made at our home
My poprity in Start Vige as Lord Saint was through the roof. It was troubling as at times, the vigers would try to take more care of me than their own children and elderly parents. In particr, the married womenthe way they eyed me wasnt normal. And their husbands, who were understanding towards their other halves saying That person is holy so it cant be helped, didnt appear in their right minds to me either. Apparently, everything was forgiven because I was divine.
Even the merchants who periodically visited the vige were unstinting in their generosity towards me; they would just hand over to me special or valuable goods that couldnt be procured in the vige for free. They were merchants who came to earn money, yet left money before going instead. This was also because I was divine.
[?]Assessment: Since the vigers are voluntarily showing good will towards Student Kang Han Soo, there should be no problem regarding your reputation or character grades. Probably? I did try to check with my seniors whether thats correct, but they all didnt give me the time of day saying they were busy
Miss Trainee Teacher, its fine. Im getting a real good feeling this time, you see? I think Ill be able to easily graduate.
I didnt hurry, as I had confirmed in the 4th ythrough that I couldnt graduate by defeating Demon King Pedonar in a single day. This time, I was truly making progress step by step.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 13
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Dark Energy(SSS) Fabrication(SS) Endurance(S) Stamina(S)
?Condition: Holy Sword, Saintess
I had been quickly recovering my basic abilities during the past fortnight. Physical Strength, Agility, Stamina, Endurance, Tolerance, Vigor, Five Senses Master Mongs teachings had shown me the essence of copy & pasting; I reproduced my oncepleted physique just as it was before. Only, achieving SS-rank in the Skills wasnt easy. I was at the point of needing to go adventuring.
[?]Respect: The technique that Student Kang Han Soo has said to have learnt from a great slime Im in disbelief even after seeing it. To think you could easily raise the ranks of some Skills to S-rank! If the others students were to know, nearly all of them would clutch at the back of their necks in stress.
As such, I had thought of a convenient means; a n full of ambition to ceaselessly raise all the Skills I could easily rank up to S-rank in a parallel method, then use them all as offerings for my Z-rank Skill. This little trick of an idea was scrapped in just 3 seconds, however.
I had tried to offer up Stamina(F) right after having used Stamina(SS) as sacrifice, but Divinity(Z)s limit breakthrough hadnt progressed in the least. The same Skill didnt have an effect, and only the one with higher rank would count as progress.
[?]Exnation: Its the transcendental domain, after all. It goes by the same principle as a living organism being unable to develop with unequally distributed nutrients. In order to transcend the ordinary domain, you need to use various Skills of good quality as nutrition.
Above was Miss Trainee Teachers exnation. This being the case, in this 6th ythrough, I intended on aiming to develop a variety of Skills in advance, so that I would be able to break through Dark Energy(SSS)s limit at any time.
Couldnt they open up that festival right away again? Therge increase in EXP for my entire Status was truly a sweet experience.
Brother! Brother! Listen to your little sister speaking, will you!
Im good.
Dont be like that and listen! Theres a legend passed down in our vige. A beautiful mermaid is said to live in a huge pond in the forest north of the vige, and that if the chosen Hero visits, shell retrieve the mightiest Holy Sword which lies at the bottom of the pond for him.
Lanuvel babbled on by herself in excitement. It sounded like a story of a humble and boorish youth drawing the Holy Sword to be Hero, even though my Job was already just that. Although it did seem like the storys plot progression was reversed, the setting being sloppy couldnt be helped as if it was cooked up by negligent teaching staffit was better I magnanimously overlooked this.
Mightiest?
I looked up towards the northern sky, and there I saw a majestic dormant volcano whose peak was sunken in an M shape. The mountain was covered in perpetual snow from middle to top. Because of its appearance, the name I gave for it was also Snowy Mountain M.
Snowy Mountain M was a sight spot located literally in the center of Fantasias middle continent, and happened to be clear proof that this was the northern continent.
If I didnt know wrong, then the one and only Holy Sword which could be acquired within Fantasias continents was Holy Sword 1 with its plethora of automatic features, and it was hidden in the previous heros grave on Snowy Mountain M.
It was in no way rted to the tant bait that Lanuvel was setting, the pond in the forest. Was it perhaps a defective item like my Holy Sword 2? I did hear from the angels the other day about there being numerous Holy Swords
[?]Badump: Student Kang Han Soo, dont you just feel all fluttery inside?
Not at all.
[?]Bewildered: Wh-why? She says its the mightiest.
I was currently already in possession of Holy Sword 2. Like how only one sword could be sheathed in a scabbard, a Hero and Holy Sword had a one-to-one rtionship of partners. In short, I couldnt use other Holy Swords. And I had the confidence to beat down the Demon King without a Holy Sword too.
[?]Instructive: Theres a jinx where students who look back afterying a hand on a Holy Sword wont be able to graduate. Arent you curious whether it really is the mightiest Holy Sword? Why dont you take a chance and go take a look~
Miss Trainee Teacher, speak truthfully. Youre being curious yourself, arent you?
[?]Staring Into the Distance: Wow! The weather today is really good!
But Miss Trainee Teachers words did have a point; my goal wasnt to experience a fantasy adventure. How many times had I in Demon King Pedonar alone? I was going to escape from this tiresome fantasy word and return to Earth, and to do that it was necessary to faithfully carry out the education curriculumvolunteer work included of course.
Lord Saint, Im worried that my daughter is sick.
Viger K, whom I had coincidentallye across, said this to me out of the blues. Children would often fall sick when their growth spurts started, but why was this person telling me about this?
At that time, Lanuvel suddenly interrupted.
Uncle Groom, where does your daughter hurt?
She has a serious fever. In order to make fever-reducing medicine, I will need refreshing windflower that only grows beneath the blue rocks in the northern forest, as well as the clean pondwater blessed by the mermaid living in the pond of legend. Although I want to go into the forest and procure them myself, I dont dare because of monsters appearing frequently as ofte.
It was unnecessarily detailed like a script prepared beforehand. Besides, shouldnt he not mention it in the first ce if it was dangerous due to monsters? What Viger K, concerned for his daughter, was saying was basically Its dangerous but you gather those things. Was he and his daughter the only people worth caring about? What a rotten personality. And it wasnt just Viger K who was like this, but all the natives of this world in general.
But I upturned my lips into a smile.
What will you give me?
There was nothing I couldnt help out with so long as the price was right.
I will give you the fresh horse milk I drew this morning. Its from a young and healthy mare, so the taste and nutrients are plentifu-
Thats ridiculouslycking. Your daughters life is worth mere horse milk? Raise the price while thinking about your daughter struggling with high fever even at this very moment.
Th-thats
Viger K, who had tried to work me hard for nothing, became bewildered. If it were in the past then I would have been a target of criticism, questioned as to how I could think money regarding an issue that concerned someones life. But I had wanted to throw such words right back those usatory people andpanionsyoure shifting the dangerous work to another, yet its okay for you to get off with lip service?
In any case, I was divine.
Since it is the words of the holy one
My dear groom, Im so disappointed!
You, do you really love your daughter?
You are much too divine today as well.
The other vigers who had been listening in took my side, and together they criticized Viger K who hadpared the life of his daughter with horse milk that would be finished with a single slurp. Having realized his own fault, Viger K knelt down and repented.
Sob-sob! I was foolish!
And so we began the negotiations anew. As a result, it was decided I would be given a foal recently birthed by a young and healthy mare. Naturally, the horse milk initially promised to me was included.

The Skill proficiency was a bonus.
Afterwards, Lanuvel and I moved toward the shabby stabling for the sake of curing Viger Ks ill daughter.
*
*
*
Viger Ks daughter, who was lying down on a cheap bed made of horsehide, was in a perilous condition, seeming as if she might die at any moment now. This showed clearly in her Status as well.
?Race: Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Viger(VigeHealth)
?Skills: Horsemanship(F)
?Condition: High Fever, Nightmare, Near Death
With the exception of truly peculiar cases, having Near Death in your Condition meant you were on the brink of breathing yourst; you would at mostst a day. What had Viger K been doing up to this point? But I put aside all the me in my heart and questions in my head, as I knew well from experience that it would only grow more wearisome the more deeply you thought about it.
Lanuvel, who had tagged along, said, Greedy Brother! Refreshing windflower that only grows beneath blue rocks and clean pondwater blessed by the mermaid who lives in the pond of legend. If we hurry now, we can procure both within half a day!
The self-styled little sister was more full of motivation than I was, making me recall mypanions in the 1st ythrough who would act as they pleased.
Lanuvel.
Mhm!
I cant think straight so pipe down a bit.
Youre being too much just because I dont look like you!
Ignoring the whining Lanuvel, I approached the sick girl and ced my right hand on her forehead that was flushed red with heat.
And that was it.
Auuh Ahh
The face of the girl, who had seemed like she would pass away at any moment, grew peaceful. Perhaps the terrible nightmare she was seeing had disappeared as well, as a smile even hung by her lips.
There was no need for something like medicinemy holy hand was just that.
H-how can this be
Oh my!
Viger K and his wife were astonished, but soon after they got on their knees and praised me while tears ran down their eyes. They took out and treated me to the horse meat they had been saving. In particr, the cheese made of horse milk was superb; this alone was better than what the royal pce chef of the kingdom could make.
Should I ask for some more when I leave?
Sniff-sniff! Mom, Im hungry too!
Greatly hungry due to having struggled against her fever until now, the girl shot out of bed upon smelling the savory fragrance of food. Was my treatment excessive? The girl was simply bursting with life, to the extent of momentarily overwhelming Lanuvel who perpetually yed cute.
I didnt hurry, spending time in the stabling. It was obvious the vigers would ask something of me again even if I were to go out early, after all.
O Holy One! Thank you.
Thank you for saving my treasure.
Thanks for curing me, Brother.
We left their home right before night fell. I decided to leave the foal at the stabling for the time being, as I couldnt be bothered to raise it myself. It couldnt be helped if I ended up leaving while having forgotten about it.
With this, the problem was settled.
Brother, youre really too much.
Lanuvel grumbled at me, pouting her lips.
Youre discontent even when a problems well solved? What would you have done if the girl died while we were off procuring materials for the fever-reducer?
Th-thats! Aww
Lanuvels nature hadnt changed even if her setting had be that of a little sister; she wanted to go about problems and situations the hard way when they could be easily solved or simply ignored. And that went for her ying cute too.
She needed a proper education of the mind.
[?]Couldnt it have lead to the development of obtaining the Holy Sword in a natural manner while gathering the medicine materials?
Miss Trainee Teacher, dont worry. Ill make sure to take a look at that Holy Swordter.
For this 6th ythrough, I decided to move in the direction the teaching staff wanted me to in. I treated Lanuvel, who would cause my fist to itch, as my little sister, and gave good counsel and sent back the vigers who woulde bother me with their requests.
Up to this point, there had been no abnormalities.
Kyah?!
Or so I had wanted to think, but s.
Vige Maiden B, who had been walking along the streets, suddenly let out a scream. I quietly turned to see what was going on, and saw that her wrists were caught by some men armed with des and leather garments. They were nothing like vige thugs.
Oh! Aint she quite fetching for a bumpkin wench?
Damned girl, dont make a fuss ande into my embrace.
Simr events were ying out simultaneously throughout the vige. It seemed that while I was being treated to a meal in the stabling, mercenaries hade in from the outside. Numbering around a hundred, they werent few, and the mercenaries werent only pestering the women.
Well be taking the fruits here. Money? Is this old fart mad?! Open your ears wide. Our mercenarypany should normally have received money instead for protecting this vige for a day, so be grateful. Haha!
They soon discovered Lanuvel and me. Was it because they were healthy males? They gulped down their saliva while looking at my shabby little sisters body. When the mercenaries turned to look at me, however, they lowered their fifth limb and inched away in retreat.
These scum are making me mad.
Lanuvel and I werent something like a couple, yet werent these contemptible vagabonds in front making a misunderstanding on their own? If I were to spare this bunch, there would bound to be rumors that went along the lines of Neh~ Neh-Neh-Neh~ Neh~! Those two are going out, apparently!.
I flicked a finger.
Tap-!
Paah!
A holy wave of force originating from me nketed the shabby vige, and with that, the situation came to a close.
Massacre(F)Massacre(E)
[?]Resigned: I think that was supposed to be the Heros debut fight after he returned from obtaining the Holy Sword from the pond of legend
That so?
I summoned forth Holy Sword 2, and then let loose a shout.
I am none other than the Hero!
There wouldnt be any rumors due to the mercenaries being cleanly wiped out, but plot-wise, there was no problem at all.
Chapter 55 - The mightiest Holy Sword
Chapter 55: The mightiest Holy Sword
Mercenaries. Ouws who worked for money. It was like an upation which included all the people in this fantasy world; young boys adoring the Hero of legend, men dreaming of a rise in status, maidens who refused to be a weak woman, princesses who ran from home because they didnt want a political marriage, Elves branded with the mark of a ve, heroes hiding their identities It was a gathering of all kinds of people.
The ones who suffered at the barbaric behaviour of mercenaries, who followed thew of the jungle as well as capitalism, were always powerless vigers. Penniless mercenaries were bold and shameless robbers, while mercenaries with power were mobile time bombsthey were viler and greater in number than nobles with filthy personalities.
Just why were these kind of pests being left alone?
[?]Troubled: Thats a prejudice. There are good mercenaries too.
Good mercenaries? Pft! Miss Trainee Teacher, make sure to introduce one to me if you find one.
The corpses of the hundred or so mercenaries, who had failed to withstand my holiness and died, were disposed of by the vigers; after stripping them bare of their rather valuable pieces of clothing, armor and such, they were piled up on the vige outskirts and roughly cremated. Nobodymented the deaths of these people. They only dealt with the aftermath.
Sir Hero, this ispensation that the vigers voluntarily gathered up. Please ept it.
Clink.
The vige chief held out a heavy money bag. Although the sound of copper and silver coins werent as nice as that of gold coins, which I could listen to the entire day without getting tired, I didnt dislike it either. For starters, the weighty sensation pleased my heart.
Chief. If anyone asks, tell them the Hero did it. And Ill be taking the lead in disposing of the mercenaries items when the next merchant caravan visits this vige, so keep them safely gathered in one ce.
While the possibility was slim, there was no guarantee that there was no group cooperating with, or mastermind behind, the mercenarypany I had put an end to. If they were to take revenge, then this vige would be swept away, and this was also why I was going to sell the articles left by the mercenaries myself; the vigers could be pinned as aplices if they had a hand in it.
This wasnt simply an unfounded fear.
My 1st ythrough experience spoke for itself. Because mypanions then hadnt properly dealt with the aftermath after acting as they pleased, the number of people, viges, cities and countries that had fallen into misfortune werent few. Each and every time that had happened, I felt deep in my bones the importance of responsibility.
In any case
Thank you!
The aged chief made an expression as if he had let go of a worry, a face that had understood my intention.
In the 1st ythrough, mypanions had taken the items of the mercenaries they had killed and naively passed them over to the vigers they had saved saying Everyone! Use these to recover for the losses!, and those innocent and ignorant vigers thanked them for it.
About a yearter, that vige had been reduced to a heap of ashesfar from recovering their losses, they had been outright erased from the world.
[?]Depressed: What a sad incident.
Miss Trainee Teacher, dont be too sad. I took clean revenge for them, you see.
The ever continuing series of adventures that followed me afterwards had even resulted in recing the master of a country.
*
*
*
After clearing out the items left by the mercenaries through the merchant caravan that periodically visited the vige, I secretly handed half of the money made from selling them to the vige chief. I didnt do something like evenly sharing the profit to all the vigers, as that would render my act ofundering money meaningless.
I wouldnt be able to know if the chief monopolized that money; however, he wouldnt be so thoughtlessly greedy so long as he wasnt foolishthe sum was much too great for someone in a shabby vige to handle.
I had done all that I could.
Ive seen you in a new light, Brother!
Having tagged along to the outside of the vige as if it were only natural to do so, Lanuvel praised me with a broad smile. As for me, I couldnt help but let out a snort at that.
Enough with the cheeky nonsense, and lead the way to the pond already instead.
Mhm!
Although the order of events was somewhat reversed, I would have followed the education curriculum by having seen the mightiest Holy Sword at the pond of legend. With this, even the grader wouldnt be able to say anythingter.
Lanuvel briskly proceeded through the forest path. I had been intent on giving her behind a hard kick if she said we went the wrong way in the middle, but something like that didnt happen.
We smoothly arrived at the pond of legend.
Hm. Its nicely decorated to make it seem like theres something more.
Various flowers were in full bloom nearby the pond, and the surface of the pond receiving warm sunlight sparkled like a gem.
Shiing-
I slowly advanced with Holy Sword 2 grasped in my right hand, taking a fully ready stance so as to be able to turn the mermaid said to live in the pond into sashimi should shee attacking.
Brother, arent you being too wary?
Having arrived by the pondside first, Lanuve said this to me in a scolding manner.
You may say that, yet youre standing at a good angle for the mermaid to twist or bite your neck from behind.
Hiik?!
Surprised by my words, Lanuvel retreated a step away from the pond.
But it happened immediately afterwards.
Bubble-BubbleSsh!
Bubbles began to rose from the middle of the pond, and then a mermaid really popped out. She had appeared barely a moment after Lanuvel moved.
Look, Lanuvel. Didnt you almost die?
I wont kill her! What do you think a mermaid is?!
The mermaid thus shrieked.
What a mermaid is, you ask? A wicked race that hits on innocent men who havent held hands with any woman aside from their own mother and wrings them dry. Ive also seen many lewd mermaids who couldnt stop control themselves whenever they came across a strong male.
Your phrasing is excessively negative?!
But I havent said anything wrong, no?
The mermaids way of love was disaster to a human. Just imagine: a mermaid, who had been whispering love to you until just a moment ago, switching attitudes like the flip of a tail upon seeing a higher Level male. That was the limit of a fish-brain.
Urgh I did hear several rumors of there being humans that treated mermaids poorly, but its shocking to see it in reality.
Enough with the idle talk. Bring out the Holy Sword instead, will you.
I needed to quickly see it and then set off on a journey. I wasnt so free as to be held back by a dumb fish.
The Holy Sword can only be possessed by a Hero. I will test whether you are worthy of being one. If you go east from here, you will find a mutant smander living in that area. If you y it and cut off its horn to bring it-
Look. Its a Holy Sword.
I showed the mermaid Holy Sword 2. The likes of a fish testing me when Hero was clearly written as my Job on my Status, to begin with? How truly presumptuous. Moreover, the test itself had no rtion to a Hero either. Going up against a mutant smander and not a demon or angel? It was a worthless mission that could even be given to some Hunter A that was passing by.
How did you be a Hero?
Her eyes wide open like a young goldfish that had witnessed a miracle, the mermaid asked me this in a serious tone. It was a deep questioning from the likes of a fish.
Whatever the case, Im a Hero.
I-I see. Please wait a moment.
Ssh!
I had been thinking of killing the mermaid and taking the sword myself if she still refused to give it up, but she immediately dived into the pond.
Lanuvel, who had been quietly watching by the side, yed cute by tugging at my sleeve with her fingertips.
Whats up with you now?
I wanted to tell you that the Holy Sword can be changed to another one if the Hero earnestly wishes for it. And Brother, you should respond with a wide smile when your cute little sister calls! You cant gaze at her like some awfully disgusting food! Youll receive heavenly punish- Hey, Brother? Are you listening?
Ssh.
The mermaid climbed onto the pondside again, and this time she wasnt just empty-handed and naked; she was carefully hugging onto a sword that made a set with an antique-looking scabbard made of a sea dragons blue leather. It was in to see that much thought had gone into the swords design as well.
It was none other than
The mightiest Holy Sword!
The mermaid introduced the Holy Sword in a manner befitting a dumb fish, omitting any kind of exnationwhat was the point of just thoughtlessly calling it the mightiest?
And on what basis is it the mightiest?
A very good question! Residing within this Holy Sword is the soul of a beautiful and noble ancient Hero! She sealed her dying self into the Holy Sword for the sake of the next generation of Heroes toe. You can hear her advice and knowledge at any time, and her voice is so sweet that it will melt the hearts of gentlemen, too. Isnt it really amazing?
Ego Sword, a sword that contained a soul. I had thought the automatic Holy Sword 1 had been moved over here from Snowy Mountain M, but this one seemed to be an altogether new version. The teaching staff had put some thought into it, apparently.
So what else has it got apart from having a soul?
Does it need anything else?
The mermaid thus answered with a question of her own, creasing her fair forehead.
Some other function, I mean.
You can receive a one-on-one lesson from a senior Hero who was beautiful and noble. Its a shortcut to bing the strongest. Wouldnt it be greedy to ask for something more than this?
A beautiful female voice feature. This Holy Sword seemed to be meant for ostracized kids with no sociability.
I decided to show clearly what a true Heros Holy Sword was to the mermaid, who was acting conceitedly with her ample chest puffed up with confidence.
Silly fish, look closely.
I summoned the soul that resided within Holy Sword 2.
Pop!
Uuh Master, where is this?
Saintess H, who had been hibernating all this time after the Hero Festival, asked me this while rubbing at her eyes.
I wordlessly drew her close with an arm around her slender waist, and she responded by leaning into me as if it were a conditioned reflex.
My Holy Swordes equipped with the special ability to resurrect and a soft hot pack, aside from itsbat capability. Dontpare it with the likes of a voice feature of a pathetic Hero who croaked without even being able to defeat the Demon King.
Ah
The mermaid, who had been acting puffed up until just now, could only move her lips soundlessly, unable to retort.
If youve understood, then put that hunk of metal back where it came from.
I spoke thus while releasing Saintess Hs summon.
While I did act greatly pretentious in front of the mermaid, this wonderful hot pack feature had to be regarded as non-existent; the effects of Infinite(E) would be undone upon summoning Saintess H. It was, however, enough to beat down the mermaids confidence.
Im really sorry. What was I saying, calling it the mightiest
The mermaid, who had turned glum, tossed the Holy Sword she had been carefully hugging onto until just now into the pond like it was a piece of stone.
Ssh!
The abandoned Holy Sword sunk into the waters.
[?]Anguish: Student Kang Han Soo, will this be alright?
Miss Trainee Teacher, theres no problem at all.
The capability of my Holy Sword was overwhelmingly better. Whether it be sports or study, it was a natural to get better results in a better environment.
But anyhow
The main story progression got cut off.
As expected, was the problem in the reversed order of events?
I had be ustomed to the changed education curriculum. I had even reached the point of giving up on myself and epting the shocking set-up circumstance of that bothersome Lanuvel being my little sister.
Perhaps it would be better to defeat the Demon King and start anew, even aftering this far, or so I thought. Although, making my way to the middle continent where the Demon Kings castley would be work in itself as well.
[?]Suggestion: Dont you think the Holy Swords soul holds a clue?
Oh! Miss Trainee Teacher, arent you a genius?
Mermaid, bring that Holy Sword back up again, will you.
What do you want with that old relic?
The mermaids change in attitude was so fast as to cause goosebumps, asking this with a coy face. This was just how the race called mermaids acted, however; when they saw a man who was more to their liking, they would cast aside the previous man like a pair of worn-out shoes. As for the passionate love and memories they shared together? What would you expect from the cousin of a goldfish that forgot everything in 3 seconds?
I have something to ask it.
My, oh my! Youre going to listen to thest words of a spinster who ended up thoughtlessly dying after putting on airs just because she was a little pretty, I see? Youre sopassionate, bing of a holy Hero. Please wait a moment~??
Ssh!
Havinge to a mistaken conclusion of her own ord, the mermaid brought out the Holy Sword in no time.
Brother! Hurry and draw the sword! Hurry~
Stop rushing me, before I dump that noisy mouth of yours into the pond.
Youre too much!
Ignoring theining Lanuvel, I grasped hold the hilt of Holy Sword 3, the Ego Sword that had appeared in the new education curriculum.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the voice of a female.
(Pleased to meet you, Hero of the present age. My name is-)
Spare me the self-introduction. Youre Holy Sword 3 from now on, got that?
I had no interest in something like the personal information of a woman I couldnt touch. It wasnt like her voice guaranteed she was a woman either. Even on Earth, the number of males that posed as females using their mothers resident registration number and a stolen picture. Everyone was genderless on the Inte, and this Holy Sword was no exception to that.
(Uh, you are the Hero, yes?)
Holy Sword 3. Stop with the sleep talk and reply to what I ask instead. Tell me all about the missions and achievements I need to take in the uing future.
(Ah, yes. Then we will begin training from now on. In order to efficiently handle this Holy Sword, it is extremely important to have basic physical strength and advanced swordsmanship. Perform 500 vertical and horizontal swings of the sword each every day. I will be counting the number. It may be unfamiliar and difficult at first, but dont be impatient as a Hero will grow quickly. First, aim to be able to cut a wooden post in one strik-)
Ker-chunk-chunk!
My divine strike cleaved apart the forest.
(Eh? Huh?)
Whats next on the menu? Just spit it all out.
Chapter 56 - The strongest Archmage
Chapter 56: The strongest Archmage
Holy Sword 3s teachings came to an end in 10 minutes.
It was, after all, nonsense to begin withwho could a pathetic Hero, who had failed to even kill Demon King Pedonar who was tremendously weakened due to his Job penalty, teach?
Of course, the act of teaching was possible.
The reason for this was that in this ignorant fantasy world void of the concept of licenses, the number of inferior B-rank mercenaries and knights who covered up theircking experience by iming If only I didnt retire early due to marriage werent few. But wasnt Holy Sword 3 an old maid?
She didnt even have a story to cook up.
(Sir Hero! I am not an inferior old maid, I merely sacrificed myself for the sake of saving everyone! Mypanions would have died had I not remained behind to stop the advancingrge army of demons.)
Holy Sword 3 admitted that she hadnt been strong enough to save everyone.
(Th-thats?!)
I entrusted Holy Sword 3 to Lanuvel. Back then during the festival, I had felt quite the anticipation when angels who hade attacking the K father and daughter had mentioned the existence of different Holy Swords; however, after actually having seen one, it turned out there was nothing much to it. Or was it that my Holy Sword 2 was excessively superior? Whatever the reason might be, Holy Sword 3 was already outside of my interest.
Brother, the Holy Swords heavy!
Take this chance to grow some biceps.
Youre too much!
Sss
At that moment, Holy Sword 3 began to shrink in size to match the physique of theining Lanuvel. For some reason, it continued to shrink without stopping.
Lanuvels expression gradually grew brighter, while mine came to resemble that of a rotten sweet potatoHoly Sword 3 had be a slim and sharp stiletto dagger. It was now light enough for Lanuvel to hold with one hand.
Tch. I didnt see thising.
Even though I had wanted to see Lanuvel groaning under the weight It seemed that aside from having the voice feature of a former Hero, Holy Sword 3 also had the additional ability to adjust the swords size.
After Lanuvel put away the scabbard that had now be unnecessary due to it being too big into a four-dimensional bag, she summoned a sheath of suitable size for a dagger and hung it by her belt.
Click!
And sheathed Holy Sword 3. Her actions up to this point had been as smooth as flowing water.
ording to the auntie, theres a hidden ruins north from here.
She was also capable of conversing with Holy Sword 3. She had seemed to call it Lady Spinster Heroine! at first, but that had changed to auntie at some point.
Isnt north the direction where Snowy Mountain M is?
There was a ruins at Snowy Mountain M! Anybody could say something like this, the reason being that the majority of ruins,byrinths, temples, tombs and the like in Fantasias northern continent were all clustered up on Snowy Mountain M. This was the reason for the development of open-air baths, inns and such below the mountain for relieving the fatigue of mercenaries and adventurers, who had made their way over with the purpose of grave robbing and training. And the viges that came to be formed in this manner established themselves as sight spots.
No. Its way before the snowy mountain.
Before, huh
Then there was room for consideration.
As I stared towards the north where Lanuvel had pointed to, I drew a map of the northern continent in my mind; as much as the majority of the dungeons in Fantasias northern continent were all gathered on Snowy Mountain M, there would be nothing but emptynd if you went just a little far away from the mountain.
My memory was on the greatly urate side. As I had rarely ever raided dungeons without risking my life, I still clearly remembered each and every one of them even after 11 years. Adventures colored by the mistakes and foolery of mypanions by no means were they beautiful memories. In any case, it was extremely likely that the ruins mentioned by Holy Sword 3 was one that I hadnte across before.
The auntie says its the ce where she trained at when she was a young girl. Its official name is the Cave of Training. Apparently, entry is strictly prohibited because its territory under the king thats used by royals as a resting area.
And only the Hero is allowed to go to that cave?
Mhm! But how did you know that?
Its obvious.
I had 11 years of Hero-ing experience! A dungeon that this great Hero here, who had fought through all kinds of hardships on Fantasias continents, didnt know about or havent seen before could only be a tricky ce to ess. Inside the sea, desert, privatend, desert ind, storm of space-time the possibilities were greatly limited.
Its okay to go straight to the ruins. Weve got plenty of food as well since the kind vigers gave us lots.
Lanuvel, whose motivation was also plenty, was hoping for an adventure.
How unfortunate.
No. Were heading to a city first.
To meet an oldpanion.
There was something I absolutely wanted to try out. (Grin).
*
*
*
We were in the Magic Kingdom of the northern continent, a kingdom specialized in magic true to its name. The citizens of the Magic Kingdom, which ruled over thends south of Snowy Mountain M, possessed remarkable talent in magic as they grew under the miraculous blessing of the mountain even before birth. There were about twice as many future Magicians born therepared to the other kingdoms nearby, while the difference went up to ten-fold whenpared to the countries of other continents.
There were two big cities in the Magic Kingdom, and the first was the kingdoms capital. It was natural for the capital where politics and economy were concentrated to flourish; however, there was a city that had easily surpassed the development of the capital.
Brother. In that shining city in front of us, theres
The Sages Tower.
Aww! Just what is it that you dont know?!
This was the onefort in the 6th ythrough, being treated like a native. Even when I spoke all-knowingly, Lanuvel and Holy Sword 3 wouldnt feel suspicious, but instead take it in stride. Though of course, Lanuvel would pout in discontent in such cases.
The Sages Tower, the city where the strongest Magician in Fantasia resided. Although there was a separate name for the marvelous-looking city, I loosely called both the city and tower as the Sages Tower.
This city, which was advanced in magic to the extreme, was an amazing sight spot in of itself, and possessed the most powerful military force among cities in the northern continent.
All this was due to the influence of one person.
That Sage fellow. I wonder if hell be at the tower around about now?
Sage. Like the Hero, Sage was a one and only Job. Even though there were a whole three Saintesses, who possessed the outrageous special ability called Resurrection, for some reason there was only one Sage in the entire world.
Mm? Youre going to meet the Sage?
You can say that.
I intended on meeting him and stealing his staff.
The reason for this was that during the Hero Festival, Virgin A, whom I had coincidentally met in Start City, had taught me its possible to win over the Ice Witch using the Sages Staff. Back then, I had felt a strange sense of defeat. I, someone with 11 years of experience in this fantasy world, had been made light of by a fellow ssmate of 3 years, and that was why I was going to test it to confirm the truth.
However, it proved to be a challenge starting from entering the city; the line of people waiting the enter was extremely long.
Brother! Where are you going? The end of the line is here.
Lanuvel, just follow me quietly.
As much as the Sages Tower was a famousrge city and sight spot in the northern continent, it would receive a great number of visitors, which was why the inspection at the city gates was thorough as well; a vicious terrorist running amok in a crowded market or building could lead to a major disaster. I had expected as much from the beginning.
Look here, why dont you line Ohh!
Hey! Dont cut in Gasp!
Move! Its theing of a holy personage!
How can he be so divine!
I was no thug that didnt abide by rules or mannersthe people merely conceded their ces in the line they had been waiting for over half the day.
Miss Trainee Teacher. Theres no problem, right?
[?]Confused: Theres definitely no problem from a moral point of view, but I cant describe what Im feeling!
You would have to really be without a conscience if this was made an issue of. Was even being born divine a fault?
Lanuvel and I soon arrived before the checkpoint.
There will be a brief inspection.
My way was blocked for the first time after having passed unhindered to this point. The guards standing on either side of the gates with spears in their hands were gazing at me with eyes of respect that seemed to say Lets quickly open the path for the holy personage!; however, the chief guard wasnt affected.
I examine the Status of that individual.
?Race: Human
?Level: 254
?Job: Watchman(DefenseFive Senses)
?Skills: Tolerance(D) Detect Foe(D) Spearmanship(E) Five Senses(E) Stamina(E)
?Condition: Strengthened
He had the auxiliary type Skill Tolerance which protected the mind, and the Condition Strengthened, which raised the capability of Skills, was shown on his Status. These things seemed to be the main cause behind this individual rejecting my holiness. I didnt pay mind to this, however; I simply continued to walk.
I pushed against the chief guard standing in my way.
C-clear!
The chief, who had flinched once, moved out of the way to the side in a fluster. He continued to repeatedly bow his head until I hadpletely passed by. His Tolerance was merely at D-rankthe trifling resistance it put up was snuffed out like a candle in the wind.
Brother, somethings strange.
Lanuvel, who had gotten a smooth passage thanks to me, thus grumbled.
The kid was discontent even when I made it so she didnt have to wait half the day out in the hot sun.
Go line up outside if you think so.
Aww
The streets in the Sages Tower were bustling with people like the sightseeing spot it was; however, there were order and rules in ce. The guards who were assigned here and there acted in ce of traffic lights, and the paths for pedestrians and carriages were thoroughly divided like it should be in arge city with high poption. And there was a path in the sky, bing of a fantasy world.
Brother! Look, look! Its a magic carpet!
Lanuvel let out a cheer, all traces of her previous discontent gone.
These magic carpets which were like taxis that flew through the sky were a famous feature exclusive to this city, and its drivers were Magicians who were hard pressed for research funds. The main customers were merchants and nobles who were swimming in money.
Aside from the high quality public transportation, there were other things well done through the use of magic as well. For instance, even I had experienced a culture shock uponing across the slime toilet, whichbined the features of a flush toilet and bidet. A slime that was contained in the toilet would Enough.
The Sages Tower which was developed in magic to the utmost would only reveal itself as a city 500 yearster in Fantasias continents. As for why it was 500 yearster, that was because it was impossible to mass produce magical goods in a revolutionary manner like on Earth in a factory.
Feels slightly nostalgic.
It only felt like yesterday that this city fell to ruin under the plot of the Dark Commerce.
I slowly made my way, as if taking a stroll, towards the white ivory tower that stood in the heart of the bustling city. That tower was the highest Mage Tower in Fantasia.
The Sage was also another Magician, in the end. He desired to quietly carry out his own research without being interfered by others, and thus he built the tower high and strong. Its seamless walls like that of concrete were protected by high density magical power, and so was impervious to average impacts. Though it was a problem the Herospanions werent average.
Youre going to enter the tower right away?
Naturally.
We headed over to the reception built at the entrance of the Sages Tower. Although there were many who had already been waiting there, being the kind folk they were, they generously gave up their ces in the waiting line for me. In this manner I arrived at the reception desk.
Ady cosying as an attractive witch spoke to me with a bright smile.
Dear holy customer, wee to the Sages Tower! What business do you have here?
I want to meet the Sage.
Have you already made an appointment in advance?
I want to meet him.
I see. Ill send word to Sir Sage right away! Dear holy customer, please climb up straight through the third entrance door~
Thanks.
The lovely receptiondy truly did good work in an agreeable manner. She would definitely be loved by a husbandter.
[?]Reluctance: Will it be it fine to just go meet him without an appointment?
Miss Trainee Teacher, dont you worry. Ive solved things in a peaceful way up till now, you know?
ckmail(E)ckmail(D)
Swindle(F)Swindle(E)
The growth of Skills was but a trivial matter.
Look at this, its magic stairs. Amazing!
Lanuvel and I went through the third entrance door the receptiondy had indicated and got on something that was simr to a pulley.
Whiiing-
To describe it from the perspective of an Earthling, it was an elevator. Although it didnt amount as much as the magic carpet, which wrungbor force out of penniless apprentice Magicians, this also came under the category of rare convenient facilities.
Lanuvel, dont make a fuss like a bumpkin.
Aww
Ding-dong??
While I had been admonishing Lanuvel, who was ying cute with her cheeks puffed up, the bell installed on the magic stair rang out indicating that we had arrived at our destination.
The highest floor of the Sages Tower, a precious location where it was said even the king of the Magic Kingdom himself couldnt climb to unless making an appointment ten days in advance. This rumour was neither exaggerated nor a joke, as the owner of this floor was a prodigy inrge-scale killing magic who was capable of even wiping out the the kingdom by himself; thus, not a single person in the northern continent would do something that would offend him.
That would be no different from asking for death, after all.
You people are the so-called holy customers? Climbing up after notifying the reception without an appointmentyou have quite the nerve, I see.
A blond boy, who was holding a staff with a golden orb the size of a baseball embedded on top, weed us.
?Race: Human
?Level: 350
?Job: Sage(ChastityMagic Power)
?Skills: Magic Power(SSS) Magic(S) Sorcery(S) Dark Energy(A) mor(A)
?Condition: Perfection
It was best not to be fooled by his gentlemanly manner of speech and young looks. The other party was a genuine Archmage whom even the mermaid princess Aqua found difficult. His SSS-rank Magic Power was authentic as well.
Uh, Brother? Its not toote for us to apologize to Sir Sage now.
Frightened by the immense magical power she sensed from the Sage, Lanuvel yed cute while tugging at my sleeve, and I responded by patting this little sister of mine on the head. Lanuvel wore a dazed look, having expected her hair to be torn out for saying something presumptuous to her brother. Nevertheless, she shook her rear end from side to side in a seemingly good mood.
Wait! You people! As if it wasnt enough entering without permission. Stop putting on a show of affection in front of me! Otherwise, I will make you regret it!
The Sage thus gave a warning, creating a ball of fire coiling with lightning at the end of his staff.
Oh, is that so?
I summoned my trap card: Saintess H.
Master, you called?
Letting herself be embraced the moment she was summoned, Saintess Hs outrageous ck underwear and garter belt slightly showed beneath her rumpled nuns garb.
Kurgh-?!
Splurt!
The Sage, who had been showing a bold front until just now, broke out in a nosebleed as he toppled over.
?Race: Human
?Level: 350
?Job: Sage(ChastityMagic Power)
?Skills: Magic Power(SSS) Magic(S) Sorcery(S) Dark Energy(A) mor(A)
?Condition: Bleeding, Happy, Fainted
And this was why this fellow could only be the strongest Archmage in Fantasia. His weakness being too obvious was a w, though.
[?]Confused: How am I supposed to judge this?
Chapter 57 - This Sage is safe!
Chapter 57: This Sage is safe!
It seemed it was Miss Trainee Teachers first time seeing this sort of Sage as well. Bleeding out from the nose towards deaths door from glimpsing a beautys underwear? I wouldnt have believed it either had I not witnessed it first-hand like this.
Uuh
Having lost too much blood, the Sage couldnt budge an inch. No matter how great a Magician was, as long as they were human, it was inevitable for them to be anemic when there wasnt enough blood. Regr anemia urred due to theck of red blood cells caused by iron deficiency, butcking blood itself due to this sort of unexpected idental bleeding was ultimately the same thing.
The supply of oxygen in the body suffering a setback from anemia would lead to various physical issues. In particr, the brain tissue of the central nervous system would bergely affected; you would either behave strangely due to being unable to make normal judgements, or fall into a stupor and lose consciousness. When it grew worse than this, it would even lead to death. Aside from these, you would suffer from low blood pressure, dysfunction of the liver and kidneys and so on. That was why you had to donate blood in moderation and cherish bloo-
Brother, I dont get a single thing youre saying.
Wouldnt have lost anything just keeping quiet.
Are you referring to Lanuvel?
Yeah, you.
I approached the Sage who had be covered in blood. He was an Archmage, after all, so he would survive on his own if left be, but being the kind and great Hero that I was, I decided to specially treat him.
Tap.
I ced my right hand on the Sages head.
Feel my hand. Youll be happy that way.
Woong-!
Divinity(Z)s holy light suffused into the Sages body.
Urgh-?!
The Sages Dark Energy was at A-rank. He had obtained it due to his peculiar constitution of falling into a critical condition as he breaks out in a nosebleed upon sighting a woman so beautiful as to make a mans eyes pop out. He had absorbed Dark Energy for the sake of living, as an individuals body would grow closer to that of a demons strong physique in proportion to the degree of Dark Energy.
However, the Sage was qualitatively different from demon worshipershe hadnt gained Dark Energy through contracting with a demon, but had steadily built it up in various ways through nature, and that was why his Dark Energy was greatly stable. He didnt have the aggressive and violent tendencies unique to demon worshipers. He had stored Dark Energy within his body purely as a pursuit of knowledge.
Until now, that is.
Fwoosh~!
shing with the power of my Divinity(Z), the power of the Sages Dark Energy(A) was shaken violently.
To suggest that I was disturbing his bnce would be a great pardonI had merely made a slight miss while trying to purify his Dark Energy.
Oops! My Divinity slipped.
His previously Dark Energy(A) began to run wild, falling into fear at the presence of my Divinity(Z) and fleeing in all directions; however, it could only stray about here and there, unable to escape its owners body. The Sage who was supposed to control this was currently in aa, and his Dark Energy(A) quickly turned defective.
Uuuh-!
Dear me! Youre suffering, arent you? This great Hero, yours truly, will help you out!
Sssr-
This time I pushed my Dark Energy(SSS) inside the Sages body. His young Dark Energy, that had lost its way and was straying, got down on all fours and swore loyalty upon seeing its bigger brother that was SSS-rank.
And then it began to erode its owners mind.
Uugh!
The Sage wasnt someone who used the title of strongest Archmage just for fun; he subconsciously attempted to defend his mind despite being passed out.
A highlyughable resistance it was.
Sage, try trusting in me.
Ah Mm
My divine voice disabled the Sages mind defense. Feeling reassured at hearing the advice of the excellent doctor, the patient(Sage) fell intoplete sleep.
And he was taken over by the now corrupted Dark Energy(A).
?Race: Dark Human
?Level: 350
?Job: Sage(ChastityMagic Power)
?Skills: Magic Power(SSS) Magic(S) Sorcery(S) Dark Energy(S) mor(A)
?Condition: Corrupted
The Sages previously suffering expression eased up at a rapid speed.
The emergency treatment wasplete.
Wow! Brother, did you treat Sir Sage?
Yeah.
I see. Even though itd be alright for this kind of pervert to just die
Lanuvel thus said harshly while looking at the Sage.
I spoke up in defense of the most unfortunate gentleman in the world.
Even though itd be alright for the likes of a world where a cute-acting little sister lives to be destroyed
Youre too much! Lanuvel is naturally cute!
Thats just what you think.
There were many expensive research materials in the Sagesboratory. If I were to grab everything here and show them to a rival Magician or to the Dark Commerce, they would no doubt pounce over with fire in their eyes.
I cleanly gave up the thought, however; I didnt want to be found fault with unnecessarily by the prejudiced and unreasonable grader. That was why I only took the Sages Staff which was my original goal.
[?]Bewildered: But thats fine?
But of course its fine.
I had legally obtained the staff through the proper proceduresthe Sage, who took to Saintess H too much, had thrown away his own staff which he had cherished like a lover. This was an expression of gratitude for having shown him something good.
It was a way of talking only gentlemen understood.
[?]Assent: I, I see.
We left the Sage as he was, still not havinge to his senses due to anemia, and straight away descended the tower after taking the tower owners gift of thanks. The staff didnt catch anybodys attention on the way out, as I had ced it inside my storage.
However, the thought of leaving the city just like this made me feel regret in various ways, since the Sages Tower was a sight spot that offered the most advanced magic throughout all of Fantasias continents. All kinds of things were well developed with magic as the focus. Transportation, culture, entertainment, cooking, education, women, gambling
Of those things, the area I was interested in was gambling. The amount of money I had earned back at Start Vige was quite the sizeable sum, and there was nothing better than gambling to test Fortune.
Lanuvel, follow me.
At present, my Fortune was at A-rank. Although its rank had not fallen thanks to the effect of Infinite(E), I had no intention of being satisfied by its A-rank. I had to take every chance I could like now to raise its proficiency level. At the same time, there was something else I was aiming for as well.
Brother, where are you going this time?
Lanuvel thus asked, hugging with both arms onto a magic orb which I had no memory of buying for her. It just so happened that I seemed to have glimpsed the very same orb back in the Sagesboratory
In any case, I gave her a curt reply.
The magic arena.
*
*
*
There were many types of gambling. There was the light kind of games using cards such as flower cards, trump, mahjong and poker, and there were also adult entertainments such as ying bingo or slot machines. Even aside from these, there were raffles, lottery, dogfighting, sports betting and so on. As for themon point between all of this? They made people gather.
A huge public gambling joint was located at the market east of the Sages Tower. Regr gambling wasnt popr there, however; befitting of a city that was called the home of magic, only one type of gambling was in trend. A famous feature of the Sages Tower, that gambling joint had the following refined name:
Magic arena.
It was a game where you guessed which Magician was stronger, and the rule was extremely simr to that of a fighting ring. A family entertainment where anybody, from esteemed royalty and nobles to children and elderly, could bet money to correctly guess the victor, though there was the asional risk taker who would seriously stake their entire fortune. The chance of winning money was 50%. If you knew how to estimate the capability of apeting Magician, however, this chance would rise exponentially. It was simr to sports betting.
Burn im!
I wont let you off if you lose!
Toss and smash him!
Ten thousands of citizens and sightseers screamed from the audience seats surrounding the roundpetition arena. I was almost unable to tell whether they were cheering thepetitors on or threatening them.
Lanuvel and I headed for the reception outside the magic arena.
Wee! Dear holy customer!
This poprity of mine didnt know how to die down, no matter where I went.
Clink.
I spoke to the receptiondy while holding out my money bag.
Split this money into five portions and evenly bet them on the fellows Number 5, 9, 11, 16, and 23.
Number 5, 9, 11, 16, and 23. I have received the bet.
I hadnt made my choices after seeing the Status of the magic arenapetitors. Shouldnt I leave things to the energy of the universe if I wanted to raise the rank of Fortune?
I had chosen these numbers purely randomly.
Pretty sister, Lanuvel chooses Number 5, 8, 11, and 22.
Number 5, 8, 11, and 22. I have received the bet, cute miss.
Lululu~??
Lanuvel also followed me in quietly betting money. Full of cheerfulughter, she gently shook her rear end from side to side the entire time while making the bet, stealing the attention of the men passing by.
How could she be so tempArgh?!
Damn it! Keep your eyes in front of you!
Wow! That shakings mad. Gasp!
Woah!?
Crash! Thump!
The entire reception area of the magic arena became a chaotic scene in mere momentsthis was why I always told her not to y cute. I took Lanuvel, who was causing inconvenience to others in a public ce, and immediately made for a corner of the arena. I then checked the betting receipts we had both received.
Your numbers are slightly different from mine.
Thats right. Its a contest!
Lanuvel thus eximed cheekily, taunting me. I could only be amused by this. A true Hero had to know how to gamble well, too. The likes of a Hero that lost his ten-fold enhanced weapon upon failing an item enhancement couldnt exist.
Very well, Lanuvel, Ill teach you about the cruelty of society.
Raising the proficiency level of Fortune was my goal, but I didnt intend on losing money either.
We made our way inside the magic arena.
Boom!
Crash!
At the center of the round magic arena, two golems were in the midst of going at the other. Striking, stomping, twisting, tossing there couldnt be anything more like wrestling.
Research funds, research funds, research funds, research funds!
Mother and Father in heaven! Give me strength!
The Magicians who were controlling the golems were sweating buckets as they poured out their mana from the safe rear. The victory condition was to either disable the opponents golem, or receive a surrender. Thepeting two Magicians were truly desperate.
Their desperationy in the fact that golems werent provided for free in the magic arenathe production cost was stupendous, and the cost to upgrade them was separate as well. As such, even the repair fee for a golem after eachpetition was a real eye opener. It would be a relief if you won, at the least; no matter how low the dividend, you would at least collect enough for the repair fee.
If you lost, however, you wouldnt even be able to break even. This was also the reason why the majority of magic carpet drivers originated from this ce.
A momentter
Magician Number 3. Victory!
The magic arena moderator thus announced in a refreshing voice.
Woahh!
Number 3s the best!
Ill curse you! Damn Number 4!
Oh yeah!
The joy and grief of the two Magicians and the audience became mingled. In the midst of this, the magic arena staff cleared away the wreckage of the destroyed golem outside the arena, and the nextpetition immediately began. The golems of Magician Number 5 and Number 6 went up against the other.
Bang!
Boom!
A duel between golems whose average height reached 5m was the very picture of excitement in of itself, yet nobody would die like in a sword fighting arena.
This was the reason why it was a family entertainment.
To think even a kid can watch as long as its not brutal
A bitter smile crossed my lips despite myself.
The fantasy world natives way of thinking was difficult toprehend; however, I knew that the poprity the magic arena could only be good in this world that extremelycked stimting entertainments. Furthermore, I knew how much dirty money was secretly traded behind the scenes, matching the arenas poprity.
Brother, who are you looking for?
You just sit there and pray that Number 5 will win.
After giving Lanuvel a scolding, I swept a scanning gaze through the entire audience seats. I confirmed each face and gender of the crowds of citizens; however, I soon gave up, shaking my head.
It was too early. When making aparison with the time before the education curriculum was changed, the Hero was supposed to be receiving a delightful beating from Alex in the middle continent right about now. The Hero couldnt be moving about in the northern continent like I was.
Master, who are you looking for?
A familiar voice sounded from right beside me.
How are you here?
This is the city I manage, you see
A boy whose nostrils were both stuffed with tissue thus replied while scratching at his disheveled blond hair in a troubled manner.
Nobody managed to realize this boys identity, and it was doubtless not only because of the saggy casual wear he had on. A Sage with a nose bleed? A passing slime would wobble at that.
You, how did you recover already?
Even in the 1st ythrough, the Sage had broken out in nose bleeds all the time, but there hadnt been a single time when he had recovered so quickly like this.
Reborn as a loyal demon worshiper, the Sage unstintingly revealed the secret of his recovery.
I gave myself a transfusion of the blood I had gathered for such times.
Hah
When thinking back carefully on the 1st ythrough which hadsted the longest, this Sage fellow was one of mypanions who had survived until the end despite copsing so often from anemia.
Though he did be my EXP in the end.
Master!
I hadnt heard wrongthe Sage called me using that strange title again.
What?
Please teach me the ways of romance! The moment I saw that ck thread and, shyly peeking out from between a virtuous nuns garPuah?!
The Sage once again broke out in a nosebleed upon reying that ck video which he had recorded in his mind.
Flop.
B-blood?!
Mommy?!
A child copsed!
The arena spectators, who discovered the boy who had be a bloody mess, were frightened out of their wits as they kicked up a fuss.
Lanuvel spoke while poking at the Sage with the tip of her foot.
Brother, the Holy Sword auntie says shed like to have this pervert travel with us.
Holy Sword 3s main storyline proposed the recruitment of a newpanion.
What if the Sage died in the middle of our adventures?
Oh, my god
The difficulty level had suddenly skyrocketed.
EasyInferno
Chapter 58 - No! You darned golem!
Chapter 58: No! You darned golem!
The Sage, who had started bleeding out from his nose and hovering between life and death again, was carried away on a stretcher by the security workers assigned throughout the magic arena. Even if he did supplement his blood through transfusion, his body wouldnt hold up if he lost so much blood in session. He would have long died already if he were a pure human.
Nose bleeding from recalling Rice Cake
Just how severe was his imagination? That symptom wasnt an issue that couldnt be solved by covering his eyes. As such, perhaps it was best to free the Sage of his virginity, by force if need be. If that happened, however, his Job Sage would either disappear or be rendered useless. It was necessary to approach this issue in a serious manner.
Lanuvel and I continued to watch the arenapetitions.
Magician Number 5, victory!
Woaah!
st it!
Oh Yeah!
Our betting numbers went as follows:
[Kang Han Soo: Number 5, 9, 11, 16, 23]
[Lanuvel: Number 5, 8, 11, 22]
Number 5, whom I had casually picked randomly believing in nothing but my Skill Fortune, effortlessly grabbed hold of victory. In the following contest between Number 7 and 8, Number 8 won, and between the contest between Number 9 and 10, Number 9 came out on top. Number 11 easily wrested victory in the contest after that as well. As of the present, the bets Lanuvel and I made had yet to turn out wrong.
I dont like it!
Lulu~??
But this was but the beginning, as the magicpetitions didnt end with one victory. In order to get your hands on a considerable sum of money, thepetitor you bet on had to at least win two times in a row, regardless of the dividend rate. We continued to watch the ongoing fights.
Magician Number 15, victory!
I love you!
Shes too pretty!
Marry me!
Unfortunate though it was, the idiot Number 16, whom I had picked, suffered defeat. He had truly struggled hard, but his opponent was too bad a match up.
I looked at Magician Number 15, who had won against Number 16. She was a great beauty.
Found it.
What, Brother?
Its a thing.
Magician Number 15, whose charming looks were dazzling to the eye, was a special agent sent in to this Sages Towers magic arena from the Dark Commerce, which had set down its roots throughout the continents. Her goal wasnt to gain some money bying off as the champion. The crimson golem controlled by Magician Number 15 was no toy for entertainment, but a mass produced weapon meant for war. Its capability was extremely superior in contrast to its cheap production cost.
The Dark Commerce was aiming for the final victory of the magic arena through Magician Number 15, with the purpose of advertising the crimson golem to the key figures of the various countries within the northern continent. But achieving the final win once couldnt prove the golems worth, which was why that woman would constantly participate in the magic arena to win the championship dozens of times.
Its bing interesting.
However, the Dark Commerce wouldnt be able to achieve its ambition early, and that was because of that Magician Number 16 over on the other side, who was trembling hard after being defeated.
[?]Peek: Do you know that gentleman?
An excellent question, Miss Trainee Teacher! You see, that pathetic youth Magician, weeping like a baby at losing the match he bet his entire fortune on, willtere to be called the War God.
[?]Startled: Really?
Thinking back on his personal history in my 1st ythrough memories
The War God was the War God. His current name was Magician Number 16! He was the genius Magician who had tossed down the gauntlet before the peerless Sage, who was an absolute deterrence against war himself within the northern continent, and ultimately even brought down the Sages Tower. The golden golem the War God had created at the time was invincible.
Although even his golem ended up destroyed by the cowardly power of friendship, it was the starting point of the paradigm of war in Fantasias continents changingfrom human soldiers to golems. It was from that time onwards that the Dark Commerces crimson golems had begun to sell like hot cakes, and the existing public order had broken down.
It was chaos in its entirety! Destruction!
Lanuvel. Ive got an urgent business to attend to, so lets meet here again tomorrow. Ill abandon you forever if youin that a cute little sister shouldnt be left alone, understand? Take this chance to grow some independence.
Aww
Lanuvel expressed her discontent by pouting her lips; however, she submitted to my threat of forever abandoning her and didnt say she would follow.
I began to move straight afterwards.
The Magicians who won their matches in the magic arena were busy as they had to set about repairing their golems starting now for their second match tomorrow. But not the losersafter deciding on whether to send their miserably busted golems to the scrap metal disposal site, or to recycle it, they would immediately head to the temporary storage located beside the magic arena.
There he is.
Magician Number 16 was plodding along his way. That idiotic looking guy was the maker of the golden golem that wouldter cause even the Sage to run away in disgust. As such, I had to either win him over or dispose of him. Only, there was one question that caught my mind.
?Race: Human
?Level: 113
?Job: Schr(Knowledge=Sorcery)
?Skills: Sorcery(B) Path of Magic(C) Magic(D) Magic Power(E)
?Condition: Depressed, Despairing
And that question was: how had he created that powerful golden golem with a Status this trashy? Of course, there was no doubt that he was a great talent who surpassed themon folk. He had likely graduated with excellent grades afterpeting for the overall 3rd or 4th ce in some prestigious academy. This level of Magician could be found everywhere in the magic arena, however; he wasnt a genius who could stand toe to toe with the Sage.
Now here came the problemwhat had made Magician Number 16 into the War God?
For starters, I decided to quietly tail Magician Number 16. Although it was possible my efforts would end in vain, there definitely had to be a reason that I had subconsciously chosen Number 16 in the magic arena.
I put my faith in the energy of the universe.
You there, the young Magician! Cough-cough!
A man who had been knifed in his back and shoulder urgently called out to Magician Number 16.
Wh-whats the matter?
Im being chased by pawns of the Dark Commerce! They want their hands on my knowledge of golems, and thats the one thing that must be prevented. The whole world will end up tramped over by golems! So please, help me!
But how
Listen carefully to what Im about to say.
The man began to quietly whisper into Magician Number 16s ear. Although I was able to listen in on his words, concentrating my hearing, I couldnt understand the contents as part of it was full of the incoherent analogy and ng of nasty Magicians. I could understand only one thingthat the man was hinting at a certain location.
I examined the mans Status.
?Race: Human
?Level: 12
?Job: Engineer(Knowledge=Path of Magic)
?Skills: Path of Magic(SS) Sorcery(S) Mental Capacity(C) Stamina(F)
?Condition: Bleeding, Critically Injured, Anemic
Now this was a bona fide schr type. Although he was a half-assed user of Sorcery with a low Level and no Magic Power, his Skill set was specialized in the development of golems, which was called the essence of Magic Engineering. The minus was that he was on the verge of breathing hisst, though.
Just what is this ce?
I entrust the peace of humanitKurgh!
Thud.
His life all but burned out, the man thus died.
Gasp!
The surprised Magician Number 16 ran away from the scene, the look on his face saying that he didnt want to be involved with the fearsome Dark Commerce, nor be pinned as a murderer. To think that kind of coward wouldter be called the War God
Boss! Hes not breathing.
Ha! You crazy ass! You should have stabbed him in moderation! Argh.
I, Im sorry.
Damn. Might as well at least take the blueprint in his house.
Understood, Boss. Guys, lets go.
After the group of men, whose Levels were far too high for them to be called thugs, examined the mans corpse, they quietly left. This was the temporary storage ce behind the magic arena. Although it wasnt a prohibited area, not many people would find their way here, which was why the mans corpse was left as is on the cold earth until everyone left. This being the case
You called, Master?
I summoned Saintess H. She seemed keen on turning on the high quality hot-water bottle feature, but I hadnt called her for that right now.
Resurrect this man.
Yes. Ahh~?
Saintess H sang a sweet song, and then spoke as follows:
Rise, my ve.
With a sudden jerk, the man who had died even before his blood cooled got up normally. His stab wounds had already been cleanly healed, and his ceased breathing resumed properly as well.
?Race: Human
?Level: 2
?Job: Engineer(Knowledge=Path of Magic)
?Skills: Path of Magic(SS) Sorcery(S) Mental Capacity(C) Stamina(F)
?Condition: Good, Resurrected
Although his Level had decreased to a dangerous point, his Skills remained just as they were thanks to being resurrected right after he died. Wasnt it fine then?
Wh-what on earth is I definitely died?
Muppet.
As low as his Level was, someone with a SS-rank Skill would be considered at the standard of a hero, but I was uncertain as to whether give him a name. As such, I decided to address him in a cursory manner.
Who are yoGasp! O simply divine sir! I am ashamed at not having recognized you right away. Thank you for saving my humble self!
A muppet who was as perceptive as he was smart. He had read the situation by himself without my having to give a long exnation, that the divine sir definitely must have saved me!. Thanks to that, I was able to skip telling ame story.
[?]Perplexed: It feels like somethings gotten mixed up?
Miss Trainee Teacher worries too much. I resurrected a fellow concerned for the future of this barbaric fantasy worlds humanity, free of charge, so what could be the prob- Ah! I see.
What I had done wasnt fair. If the great Hero, who had to be fair and just, were to disregard some Person 2 he came across who was in trouble after having resurrected Person 1 for free, that could be considered a serious inequality in treatment. As such, I had to receive the price for having resurrected him.
Muppet. From today onwards, work hard for my sake to the boneto the extent of regrettinging back to life.
Person 2 would have noints either this way.
I, I understand! O divine sir!
Struck with admiration at my fair and just decision, the muppet thus replied in a loud, strong voice.
*
*
*
I collected all of the important research materials, which the muppet had hidden in a secret ce, into my Storage and moved them to the Sages Tower. I couldnt afford to be leisurely, as the muppet, having sensed his imminent death, had revealed the location of that secret ce to Magician Number 16. Thankfully, we were one step faster than Number 16. ording to the muppet
Unless his Path of Magic is above A-rank, itll take him some time to decipher the code I gave him.
Magician Number 16 was an amateur with a C-rank in Path of Magic, let alone A-rank. He would no doubt end up bewildered at being weed by thepletely empty secret ce after deciphering the muppets code with difficulty and going there in anticipation. Puhihihi.
Master, why on earth did you bring this oil-smelling person?
The Sage, whoseplexion was wan from anemia, thus asked me this question. After copsing at the magic arena, he was discharged from the hospital when not half a day had passed. It seemed that his changed race and Dark Energy(S) had improved his survivability and recovery ability.
The Sages gaze towards the muppet wasnt good. His reaction was befitting of the conservative type who believed that Magicians should be capable of solving all their problems with a magic staff alone without relying on anyone else.
I see that Sir Sage is the same as ever.
Put-down the moment they met, the muppets expression turned rotten.
To sum up their rtionship, it was like that of a dog and cat. Ah! Not a cat, but a tiger.
I proceeded to settle the situation.
If you dont want your heads rammed down a slime toilet bowl and get dunked in ooze, then stop the war of nerves. Listen carefully. From now on, wellmence development on a blue golem thatll oppose the Dark Commerces crimson golems!
Since early times, super robots were the dream of men. You werent a man if you couldnt empathize.
How my painful my heart had felt, like it was being shattered, when mypanions destroyed the War Gods golden golem with a joint attack using the cowardly power of friendship in the 1st ythrough.
The opportunity hade to resolve the grudge I had borne at that time.
[?]Perplexed: Uh, Student Kang Han Soo? Itll be troublesome if you confuse the genre. Were in the middle of a Heros adventure to defeat the Demon King.
Oh! Miss Trainee Teacher is sharp.
But what she had pointed out was wrongafter all, I could y Demon King Pedonar whenever, even without going on something like an adventure with a shabby little sister.
[?]Troubled: That shouldnt be possible normally, I tell you
Miss Trainee Teacher, dont worry. Im going to properly follow the main plotline, you know?
Within several years, war will break out in the northern continent as the Dark Commerces crimson golems hits great poprity. Well take the initiative before that happens and subjugate the Dark Commerce and the northern continent using our blue golem.
Gasp!
Ohh!
And thus, we channeled that vigor into creating a prototype. The Sages Tower was bursting with golem materials, and a truly absurd golem came to be born under the cooperation of the two geniuses who didnt want their heads shoved down a slime toilet bowl. And that wasnt allthe golem was garnished with my holiness as the finishing touch.
?Race: Arch-Golem
?Level: 900
?Job: Shrine Maiden(BeautyPhysical Strength)
?Skills: Divinity(SS) Physical Strength(A) Indestructible Body(A) Massacre(A) mor(A)
?Condition: Socket, Standby
Although its Status had abruptly risen with the addition of Divinity, as bing of a hand-crafted test product, its size wasnt much different from that of a person.
But that wasnt the problem.
The golems oval-shaped face that was coated in a milky white color inspired no sense of awe, and its four limbs were very slender as well. Its protruding breasts were soft and delicate, utterly unhelpful when it came tobat, and its unnecessary blue, straight hair was long enough to reach its unnecessarily firm buttocks.
This wasnt the super robot I had always dreamed of.
Bastards! What the hell did you to do my dream!
Heheh
Heheheh
Turning around, I saw the Sage and the muppet wearing identical smiles on their faces.
Chapter 59 - Who are you?
Chapter 59: Who are you?
The strongest Archmage in Fantasia, the Sage, was a virgin because of his unfortunate, peculiar constitution of breaking out into nosebleeds at the slightest stimtion. Yet the engineer muppet had also had zero opportunities to meet women, as he had done nothing but research golems cooped up in a small room. So he was also a virgin.
It was because two genius virgins met that this sort of atrocious golem came to be born.
The teamwork of the dog and tiger was extraordinary.
The most important part, artificial intelligence is missing.
We cant insert something like the emotions of a man, can we now?
There was something that didnt exist even in the Sages Tower where all kinds of materials were hoarded: the heart of a woman. If such a thing had existed there, then the Sage wouldnt have remained a virgin. This was why there was the so-called Socket in this weak-looking golems Condition. Space had been left for new software to be loaded.
Its a prototype, after all Bear with it, just bear with it.
I decided to let the two virgins off on ount of their passion, and I gave that thing they made the name Golem D.
But the mass-production type blue golem that wouldter be created would be a 7m tall super robot equipped with a drill and the ability to transformthere was no doubt on this, as I had meticulously confirmed the blueprint.
After leaving the development of the blue golem, which would be the cornerstone of a super robot army, to the two virgins, I left the Sages Tower.
*
*
*
I, too, had a dream like other people.
Transformation,bination, drill, rockets, funnels, overdrive!
(Note : Gundam references)
A super robot that inspired sweat-inducing over the top excitement. The day I had unsparingly invested for that dream of mine was wasted in vain due to the two virgins act of atrocity. And what remained for me was
Brother! Why are you sote?!
A shabby little sister.
Furthermore, thepetition results, which I had confirmed after arrivingte at the magic arena, wasnt all good.
[Kang Han Soo: Number 5, 9, 11, 16, 23]
[Lanuvel: Number 5, 8, 11, 22]
Number 5 and Number 11, who I had bet on together with Lanuvel, had seeded in winning two times in a row, but Number 9 and Number 23, who fought close matches, ended up losing to Number 8 and Number 22. And Number 16 had dropped out on the first day.
Ipletely lost to Lanuvel?
The energy of the universe had run dry, apparently.
Ahem! Were dont resemble each other in the slightest, but Lanuvel is an extremely capable little sister. I have confidence in things like drawing lots such as this.
Kugh.
To think she would humiliate me!
It was a moment where I missed the Job Thief.
After all the golem matches came to an end, Lanuvel and I went outside the city. Regardless of the magicpetitions final oue, winning twice in a row meant I had already passed the point of breaking even. The key question was how many fold of profit there would be if, like Lanuvel, all thepetitors you chose won twice in a row. But whatever the case, we had to wait until the final match ended in order to receive the betting dividend.
Toss it, that sort of chicken feed.
That final match would take ce 6 dayster. Even if they wanted to quickly go ahead with thepetition, it couldnt be helped as golems constantly required repairs and maintenance. This maintenance cost was why golems werent used in wars, but inter days the Dark Commerce and War God would shatter thatmon belief and preconception.
Money?
The Sage had already be my ardent follower. It was the same thing as one of the ten wealthiest individuals in the northern continent having be my sponsor. Just the material costs that had gone into Golem D overnight would amount to a frightful sum enough to buy a small city. There was no reason to go back to the city for some puny magic arena winnings.
This wasnt because I couldnt get my hands on a super robot.
Even if its chicken feed, its money Lanuvel earned with effort!
But anyone would see it as unearned ie?
You cant ignore mental work!
All the mental work done by the people of the world could be considered meaningless, apparently. She sure could brazenly im that it was work, when she had randomly guessed without even knowing the arenapetitors names and faces, let alone their personal histories.
In any case
Ow Ooow~!
Trooog~!
I brought along my shabby little sister and set off on an adventure towards my original goal, the hidden ruins. The monsters we encountered along the way were busy running away, frightened by my holiness. It wasnt like I couldnt chase down and kill them, but since I would be at a greater advantage in the battle against the Demon King the lower my Level was, I didnt take the trouble of doing so.
The Hero bing more at a disadvantage the stronger he grows?
What sort of crummy story setting was this?
[?]Shrug: It was nned so that the Hero would cooperate with hispanions to defeat the Demon King at an adequate level of difficulty, after all. If the Demon King were strong enough to crush the power of love and friendship, or on the contrary too weak, it would be a problem as that wouldnt arouse any strong feelings upon victory.
Miss Trainee Teacher. Back in our neighborhood, we call that maniption.
A sham that presented love and friendship as superior! The number of morons fooled by this, who would spout nonsense such as Lets fight on together! to their patheticpanions, had tremendously increased on Earth.
I wished that a good-natured, ordinary person like me, who was suffering from this moron fostering n, would be quickly sent back to Earth.
[?]Troubled: Love and friendship are greatly important. Youll be able to understand if youplete the higher education curriculum.
Miss Trainee Teacher spoke little afterwards.
She was being too much to her secret friend!
Brother, it lies beyond here.
In possession of Holy Sword 3, Lanuvel led the way. Although we dide across several sentries by the guard posts built at every turn of the path, we were able to make brisk passage as my holiness was a far better guarantee of identity than any pass card.
We thus arrived at the king of the Magic Kingdoms personal territory. Although there were royalty who would forbid entry into their personal territory for the sake of secretive outdoor ys, like the Dumpling King, the majority would use suchnds as their exclusive hunting ground.
This monopoly of a hunting ground held a greatly important meaning. From the perspective of an Earthling, perhaps it could be described as an animal farm, or breeding ground.
You would gain EXP by hunting monsters, but it was possible for you to be hunted instead if you came across prey that was much too strong. The hunting grounds of royalty and nobles controlled this factor. For instance
?Race: Orc
?Level: 31
?Job: Mercenary(WealthSurvivability)
?Skills: Patrol(E) Survivability(F) Stamina(F)
?Condition: Peaceful
By monopolizing a region where only weak Orcs like these were endlessly born, you would be able to raise your Level quickly and safely. While it would be good to share such a good hunting ground to everyone, the ecosystem would change if the Orcs were killed to the point of extinction and the type of monster would change. This was why it was necessary to restrict the hunting ground. Even monopolizing involved difficulties of its own.
Of course, there was no reason for me to consider that much.
KuKu~!?
BuBu!
The Level 31 Orc turned around without hesitation, surprised at my holiness, and began to pitifully run away along with its simr-looking friends.
These guys sure knew how to run.
Eyah!
Lanuvel, who was beside me, took action with glittering eyes at that moment. Holding onto the Sages Staff, which I had lent to her as I thought it too wasteful to simply gather dust in my Storage, she didnt let go of this opportunity. I had predicted this from the moment I saw the restless movements of Lanuvels rear end, showing her desire to quickly try out the staff.
Pzzzt-!
Lightning shot out from the golden orb at the staffs end.
VuVuuu~?!
NuNuu?!
The Orcs let out screams that sounded like pigs being butchered and fell t on their faces.
Tsss
The smell of grilled bacon wafted from their charred bodies. These Orcs who had harbored no intent to injure, let alone lust, were all murdered by my vicious little Magician sister who had neither blood nor tears to shed.
[?]Perplexed: Youre not wrong on that, but its a bit
The screams of the Orcs were quite loud, but the death throes of a monster in a densely wooded hunting ground were moremon than the cries of an ordinary animal. This was why the Magic Kingdoms soldiers who were guarding the surroundings of the prohibited hunting ground took no regard of the screams and passed over it.
I entered deep into the hunting ground under Lanuvels lead. There seemed to be some sort of special barrier hindering our way in the middle, but Lanuvel, who possessed Holy Sword 3, and I, the Hero, broke through it without a problem.
And then we discovered a certain cave.
The Holy Sword auntie says its here.
I can tell by just looking.
A scene of the Hero and Demon King was carved in an archaic fashion on the stone wall nearby the cave; however, I couldnt agree with that muralDemon King Pedonar was depicted as a hideous-looking monster, but the actual individual I had met in person was a gentleman with horns protruding from either side of his head. On the contrary, the Elf Kings wife, who was kidnapped by the Demon King, had seemed far more like a demon to me.
I looked above the cave.
[Cave of Training]
The purpose of the cave was clearly written on a golden board. ording to Holy Sword 3s experience, I would be able to attain true strength as a Hero in this ce.
Brother, she says only the Hero can enter this cave.
Lanuvel thus spoke with a face deeply regretful at not being able to follow.
As for me, this news was like wee rain.
Alright. Holy Sword 3. If that true strength turns out to be training that advertises the power of friendship or love, you better be prepared to be used as kindling.
After bullying Holy Sword 3, I slowly made my way into the cave. The inside wasnt humid but dry, and it was also well ventted against my expectations of it being stifling.
Woong-
Luminous orange rocks that naturally emitted a dim light even without fuel illuminated the darkness from everywhere.
All the walls within the cave were carved rather straight, and all sorts of things were drawn on them.
Demon C, Demon K, Demon M Hm, is that Demon D? The one with the crooked horn looks like Prince 1?
The murals on the walls were of various demons. They were depicted in an extremely sinister fashion like Demon King Pedonar was, but I merely felt surprise at the skills of the artist who made drawn them well in a way that the original could be recognized.
The demons all simrly suffered defeat at the hands of a Hero. A boy Hero, youth Hero, girl Heroine, harem Hero I could only feel deeply bewildered at just how many Heroes were mobilized to deal with these demons, who I had in all by myself.
I continued further inside the cave while looking at the murals, until finally I arrived at the training ground.
[Beginners Room]
The ce waspletely treating me like a child, starting from the rooms name. What stood before me was a wooden doll the size of an adult female, and held in its hand was a wooden club.
It moved like a living person.
Hah! Is this fun and games for kids or what Mm?
I was about to easily smash the wooden doll, when I paused in my footsteps and recoiledmy body had suddenly grown heavy.
Upon examining my Status
?Race: human
?Level: 1
?Job: Jobless(EXP 110%)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) [?][?](D)
?Condition: Training
Race, Level, Job, Skills, Condition. Everything had disappeared leaving me with a bare body. Although Divinity(Z), which had stepped into the entry of the transcendental domain, was unaffected, the rest was more worse than right after a regression. Even my race and Job had been reduced to the level of a native. As for ck-Box
?Type: Skill
?Name: [?][?]
?Rank: D
?C: Induce oblivion in target.
?D: Will not be muddled.
?E: Cannot be destroyed.
?F: Will not forget.
While I couldnt see its name as usual, it had changed to show the next rank effect which had been covered by a mosaic. Perhaps it was rted in some way to this training ground?
But for now, I decided to deal with the wooden doll before me.
Smack-
Even if I had be Level 1, my body was peerless as ever. This physique of mine which was born under thebination of Master Mongs teachings and biology was a separate product from the fantasy world abilitieseven if a golem made of rock and not wood were to pop out, I would remain unshaken.
Crash-!
I punched the wooden doll into smithereens without leaving a trace.
Immediately afterwards
Clod, ck-ck.
Clod, ck-ck.
Two wooden dolls dropped from the pitch-dark ceiling of the room. These dolls also held wooden clubs as they came attacking me.
Smack, Smack-
But the oue didnt change just because there were more dust to pat away. However, the number of wooden dolls continued to gradually increase; destroying the two dolls led to three more appearing, and again destroying three led to another four.
Really now
Although I felt inclined to destroy the cave in its entirety using Divinity(Z), I smashed apart the wooden dolls one by one since I couldnt ruin the main storyline I was taking pains to follow.
[?]Uncertain: Student Kang Han Soo, do you feel like youre being trained a bit?
Not in the least. I wonder what in the world Im doing.
[?]Ashamed: From what I see, I think so too.
It took more time waiting for the wooden dolls to drop down from the ceiling. Perhaps it would be better to destroy those things dangling up there waiting for their turn in advance?
Drrr
Just when I was about to carry out that n, an exit appeared on the other side of the entryway I had entered this room from, and the wooden dolls that were too weak to even bother destroying ceased to appear as well. I took it that I had passed the beginner level training ground.
It cant be that this is going to keep repeating all over, will it?
Ominous hunches tended to always be on the money.
[Experts Room]
[Specialists Room]
[Dominators Room]
[Victors Room]
[Challengers Room]
This tedious training where only the opponents I faced would change continued. Although the sensation of thrashing the dolls did be satisfying as the difficulty gradually rose, all of them were the same before my holy fist.
Smack- Crash!
Smack- Crunch!
Something like a boss monster began to appear from the Experts Room and onwards, while the terrain changed bizarrely from the Dominators Room and beyond. And starting from the Challengers Room, an exit cave option was added.
But the choice I made and the oue that followed didnt change.
Onwards! Onwards! Onwards!
Just how long would this training continue?
[Transcendents Room]
I entered the room indifferently like I had the ones before it, but then froze in my steps.
There was already someone here before me.
?Race: Old Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Prince(National Strength=Vigor)
?Skills: Vigor(Z) Infiltration(Z)
?Condition: Training
Who the heck was this punk?
Chapter 60 - Welcome, dear graduate
Chapter 60: Wee, dear graduate
Hero?
Youre a Hero, too?
Without waiting for the other, we first confirmed our Jobs first.
I was a Hero until I immediately became Jobless after entering this ce. What about the other side, then? His Job was Prince. Unlike a Princess who became prettier ording to the strength of their country, there were many factors when it came to a Prince whose practicalbat ability became stronger instead. To put it bluntly, a Prince of a superpower would be absurdly strong.
Your Divinity is Z-rank?
Youve got two Z-rank Skills yourself.
For starters, I observed the appearance of the prince. Different to the fresh-looking princes of fairy tales, he was a man who looked to be his middle thirties with a slightly grown, unkempt beard.
His outfit also was far from the standards of an ordinary prince, wearing a shining silver pair of briefs on top of a muscr body which resembled that of a bronze statue. It wasnt an easy set of colors to pull off, yet even that strangely suited him.
My point of interesty elsewhere, howeverhe should have been capable of natural recovery that left not a single scar with his level of ability, but his body was covered in countless traces of injuries.
To have that level of Divinity despite being human and not angel
Are you a higher education graduate?
We continued to probe. Although it was a continuation of not answering the others question, I kept my focus sharp in order to gather even the smallest bit more information. Skills couldnt be an absolute indicator ofbat ability; however, that was only when there was a slight difference in strength.
The other party had two Z-rank Skills, and this held an extremelyrge implication as you needed to use your other Skills as offerings to break through the limit into the transcendental domain. In other words, this meant the prince had a record of sacrificing at least two times the number of Skills I had, and the amount of experiences he had was bound to be just as much. It could be dangerous if I were pitted up against him now.
Miss Trainee Teacher, who is this guy?
[?]Astonished: A Hero of the old generation! I cant give you a detailed exnation as that would infringe staff regtion, but hes someone who shouldnt be here in Fantasias dimension. Just how did he find his way here
Old generation Hero? This was definitely not referring to the previous Hero, since the Heroes I knew werent as strong as this princethe Demon Kings penalty and just one Z-rank Vigor was enough to easily crush Pedonar, after all.
At that moment
Strange. Its too different from the contents of the report I received.
The prince stared at me like I was a monkey at a zoo.
What, you punk?
Even though I heard the current generation of Heroes were a ragtag bunch that instead of sweating blood to improve their abilities, they only learnt the know-how of despicably attacking in numbers using the friendships and connections they built through drinking and ying around
His words trailed off, and then the prince took action. It was a surprise attack aimed to catch me off guard while I was focusing on his words.
The immediate problem was that
Hes fast-!
He was outrageously speedy. It was my body that reacted first, rather than my head that was admiring his movements.
Bam! sh!
The princes right fist collided with my cross-arm block. I didnt have the time to dodge or counter-attack from the outset; thats how fast and strong the princes attack was.
This is insane!
My mouth uttered curses despite myself; however, it seemed the situation wasnt that different for the prince either. He looked at his broken right wrist with a frown.
Cr-crack.
The prince proceeded to speak as he indifferently set his broken wrist.
The deflection effect of the general property of Divinity. Of all ces, to meet in a room of training where all Skills are sealed
From an objective point of view, the prince was superior to me in terms of pure ability; however, the current environment had allowed me to escape from crisis. No, beyond that, it had be the key to my victory.
That was because
?Type: Skill
?Name: Divinity
?Rank: MAX
[?]ZZ: Employ divine punishment. (0%)
[?]Z: Simply divine.
?SSS: Receive worship.
?SS: Employ divine reflection.
?S: Ignore regr attacks.
?A: Praise the heavens.
?B: Purify Dark Energy.
?C: Employ divine defense.
?D: Grant blessing.
?E: Withstand Dark Energy.
?F: Employ divine attack.
Amidst this unexpected crisis of life and death, even as my heart trembled, I quickly analyzed the situation I was in. My opponent had no Dark Energy or Divinity in his Status, and neither did he have any special element weapons such as a Demon Sword or Holy Sword. He was utterly devoid of any methods at his disposal with which he could cause me damage.
No, thats not necessarily the case.
While I didnt know the Z-rank effect of Vigor, I did know of its effects up to SSS-rank, which was it could be ignored as of now. The problem was the Z-rank Infiltration. This Skill was normally considered an auxiliary type of ability used to stealthily infiltrate restricted areas such as security facilities and bases; however, as its rank grew higher, the range of its use would be hugely magnified to cover things beyond locations and objectsit could allow ess into the body of a living organism, slightly ovepping into the domain of the Skill Piercing.
You are a certainly nomon foe, but this must also be a part of training.
The prince chuckled as he gazed at me. The reason why he had yet to lose hisposure likely had to do with the effect of Infiltration(Z).
I think its going to be your funeral instead of training?
This time I took the first move as I taunted the prince. Although he had two Z-rank Skills, Infiltration was an auxiliary type of Skill and not for purebat. There could only be a limit to what it could do.
On the other hand, I had Master Mongs teachings. The sturdiness of my body had gone far beyond that of what could be ssified as human, while Divinity was the strongest Skill that was considered a cheat. In short, my defensive ability utterly surpassed the princes offensive abilityif that wasnt the case, I would have suffered defeat in the first sh. The prince, however, seemed to have not realized this yet.
Fwoom-
I drew and swung the wooden club I had hung by my belt. I had initially nned on briefly using the club before tossing it away, after stealing it from the wooden dolls assigned in the Beginners Room, but the sensation of swinging it had turned out more satisfying than expected, and eventually it became strengthened by my holiness. This was obvious from how it had yet to break until now.
How slow.
I heard the princes disdainful remark.
I know that too!
And immediately shooting back a retort, I directly swung the wooden club over. In response to this, the princes fist came flying towards the left of my chest, a mocking sneer on his lips.
How sloppy.
I know that too!
Thwack! sh!
My downwards strike aiming for the princes headnded on his left shoulder, while in contrast, the princes fist urately struck the left of my chest.
I had taken the overwhelmingly greater loss when just looking at the situation; however, the result was differentthe princes left arm hung limp as his shoulder broke, whereas I had suffered no more than the clothes on the left side of my chest being ripped along with a light bruise.
Kugh! H-howKagh?!
This time I made sure tond a hard blow on the head of the prince, who was bewildered with his eyes opened wide. The power behind my attack was weak, as it was a surprise attack, but it was enough to cause a concussion.
I know that too!
That my body was sturdy was something I knew very well.
One for you! And one for me too!
This was a way of fighting that I liked, and it was extremely effective against shameless cretins who used hit-and-run tactics using polished techniques or whatnot. And it worked against careless fellows like this prince as well.
Smack, Smack, Smack-Smack, Smack, Smack!
Having judged victory to be within my grasp, I ceaselessly pursued the prince, who staggeringly tried to widen the distance however he could, and continued to corner him, tantly aiming for his head only so that he couldnt regain his senses. This was no sportspetition where you had to abide by rules and etiquettethere was not a single person who would criticize you even if your opponent was rendered forever unable to recover.
Kuugh~?!
The princes handsome face became smeared all over in ketchup. His previously tall nose had be humbled, while his somewhat thick lips had turned a deep red as if he was wearing lipstick, and his barely open eyes couldnt find their focus.
Now, it was time to perfectly finish him.
[?]Bewildered: Uh, Student Kang Han Soo? Isnt this the timing to interrogate him about various things?
You sure do make an uninteresting suggestion after popping out of nowhere. Will you take responsibility if he ends up escaping?
[?]Denial: Nope! Im sorry for meddling!
While my words sounded smug as if I had all but won the fight, I still didnt ease up my nerves.
This was because of the unknown phenomenon urring before me.
Just why, why isnt he dying? Why! Why!
The princes body was in such a state that it wouldnt be strange if he had already died long ago, yet he was persistently holding on. I had broken his neck several times, and yet the prince didnt die. It couldnt be that Vigor(Z) had such an effec- Mm?
ck, nk-nk.
ck, nk-nk.
Right at that moment, five steel dolls that had dropped down from the training rooms pitch-dark ceiling came charging towards me, not reading the mood. If I ended up being caught in a melee, it was possible that I might let the prince slip out of my hands.
That wont do!
I seized the princes neck in a powerful grip.
Crack.
It was bing pointless how many times I had already broken his neck; however, this time the result was slightly different. I maintained the strength of my grip, continuing to press down so that his broken spinal cord and torn muscles couldnt regenerate.
Guuh?!
Pat-Pat.
The prince struggled with his limbs iling about, his face be blue from theck of air, but I continued to constrict his neck, and all the while doing so I used him like he were a blunt weapon.
nk?!
nk?!
The steel dolls struck by my makeshift weapon staggered; however, that was all. I would have smashed them to pieces had I been in myplete state, but even these dolls were enough of a threat in my current state of having my Level and Skills sealed.
?Race: Iron Golem
?Level: 1
?Job: Lancer(Horseback=Spearmanship)
?Skills: Spearmanship(A) Tolerance(B) Dark Energy(C) Indestructible Body(D)
?Condition: Fury, Strengthened
Having to defeat these sorts of dolls as a pure Level 1 without a single Skill was unreasonable, but that had to be why this room was called the Transcendents Room. It meant that Skills of the transcendental domain were essential.
Cr-crackRip!
In the end, the princes neck was twisted offpletely. As his head and body becamepletely separated, they went flying away in different directions. Afterwards, I turned my focus to the 5 steel dolls.
Go to hell, the lot of you!
The steel dolls, which endured like empty cans even when they were crushed, were tenacious, and I even became red up seeing themunch pincer attacks in a cowardly fashion; however, my holiness proved no inferior to them.
sh! sh!
As the power of my Divinity consecutively exploded inside the steel dolls, which possessed Dark Energy like demons, their steel bodies were shredded apart like tinfoil.
Of course, I couldntpletely ignore their C-rank Dark Energy, since I couldnt ignore or deflect their spear attacks using Divinity. But it wasnt to the point of being a problem in the battle.
ng.
The final steel doll copsed.
Well now then. Mm?
Searching for the princes corpse, I became disconcerted. Where had the princes head, which I had tossed to that corner, disappeared to?
The answer: at the training rooms entrance.
Hear me, Hero of this era!
The prince, whom I had made sure to kill, thus shouted to me in a gant voice, revived. His face that had be haggard, however, showed that he wasnt fine.
How did youe back to life?
This is that sort of ce by nature.
I see.
I hadnt known as I hadnt died before.
The humiliation you gave me I will never forget it. If we meet again outside the Cave of Training, I will never let you ofKuugh!?
Crack.
The prince let out a cry as he clutched at his waist in the midst of pointing his finger at me. The point between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae I had broken that part of his spine plenty of times out of habit. Even the resurrection ability of this training ground apparently couldnt do anything about chronic herniated discs. Or perhaps my technique was just that perfect!
The prince ran away towards the exit while limping with a hand supporting his waist, but I didnt chase after his back. Or rather, it would be correct to say that I couldnt do so.
Id certainly be at a disadvantage if I ran into him outside.
The biggest reason why I was able to win was that the prince could only use ordinary attacks. When hepletely recovered all his Skills upon leaving the Cave of Training, he would definitely possess Dark Energy or Divinity, and that would cause my advantage to disappearI could truly end up dying.
As such, I turned around without regret. No more steel dolls appeared after I destroyed the initial 5, but instead
Rattle-Rattle!
The boss who guarded the room appeared, as expected. The boss charged at me menacingly while giving off the sounds of gold coins that I fancied.
Its Status was truly fear-inspiring.
?Race: Gold Golem
?Level: 1
?Job: Guardian(ProtectingDamage Suffered)
?Skills: Protect(SSS) Swordsmanship(A) Immunity(A) Stamina(A)
?Condition: Agitated
It was also known as the golden doll. This boss seemed to have been deployed here so that no one could pass. The ranks of its Skills were excessive, and that it was also suspicious how its Job was Guardian. I let out a chuckle at this, however, because
ng-! sh!
The boss stabbed at me with a golden sword, but ended up falling on its back. A boss that neither had Dark Energy nor Divinity included among its Skills, and didnt even possess a convenient means to break through my defense was no different from a scarecrow.
Rattle-Rattle?!
However, the boss didnt give up and continued to attack me. I would have been at a loss had it remained still instead, as I didnt have a way to break through its SSS-rank Protect, but the boss drove itself to destruction of its own ord. Even the damage reduction effect of Protect didnt activate against Divinitys deflection ability.
Rattle! Thump!
The boss monster that had been diligently shing away at me using its golden sword copsed in the end, and the entrance to the next room opened.
[Graduates Room]
The name alone was full of implications.
Inside the room, there was an Elf instead of a doll.
Wee, Sir Hero!
A female priest, whose entire appearance from head to foot exuded a sense of nobility, greeted me with a smile. Her first words highly grated grated on my nerves, however.
Dont y cute. Ill kill you.
A bunch of vicious-looking dolls had been deployed by the entrance, despite her weing greeting. Wasnt she truly brazen-faced like a certain somebody?
Im not the one ying cutAhem. In any case, pleasee inside. I have something to show you, Sir Hero.
Chapter 61 - The Hero of Origin
Chapter 61: The Hero of Origin
The Graduates Room was a fourth dimension. Despite the room definitely being inside a cave, a blue sky was visible above, while green grass and blooming flowers could be seen everywhere on the earth. Beyond yonder in the direction where the female priest was walking towards, I could see a beautiful garden which had a fountain and a small stream flowing by. And in the heart of that garden was a grand-looking temple.
It was a scene I somehow found familiar, and that was because the architectural style of this temple was the same as the underground prison I saw in the graduate festival, where the K father and daughter were imprisoned. Rather than this building being a pce, however, I felt that it was more a temple. The reason behind this was the gigantic statue that was erected by the gardens entrance.
The Hero of Origin
The legendary Hero who was said to have be a god after defeating Demon King Pedonar. He was a man, and his name was Senior 1. Portraits of him could be found all over the world. Artists studied those portraits and drew them again for the next generations, and then the next. That was how much Senior 1 wasuded as a great figure in Fantasias continents.
The female priest nodded and affirmed my thoughts.
Indeed. The temple before us was built very long ago with the purpose of honoring that persons achievements. As you can see, however, it was isted from the world and hidden away. I will be exining the reason behind that from now on, so please follow me.
We passed through under the crotch of Senior 1s gigantic statue and went straight across the garden. Perhaps a gardener maintained the ce 24 hours a day, as all the vegetation were perfectly arranged. There wasnt a single weed that had sprouted, nor a single branch out of ce. Because of this, however, the garden seemed dreary instead. I felt as if I were looking at a chilly desert in the middle of a night.
You live alone?
Yes I do. I have been constantly waiting for the sake of correctly guiding theter generations of Heroes.
Really, you sure do live in a tiresome way.
I examined the Status of the noble-minded female priest.
?Race: Old Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Archpriest(Congregationmor)
?Skills: Blessing(Z)
?Condition: Administration
Like the prince from a while ago, this woman was also marked as an old human. Her Job was nothing much to speak of, but I couldnt prevent a wryugh upon seeing her SkillZ-rank Blessing. Apparently, the so-called transcendental domain was amon thing.
This ce may be stifling, but I do my job because I want to. With great power follows responsibility, after all. May you, the next generation Hero who has stepped into the transcendental domain, not go astray like the Hero of Origin and use your power the right way.
Mm?
The nuance of her words was off?
We are almost there, Sir Hero.
The inside of the temple was deste, having nothing but space to offer. Although the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling exhibited fantastic artistry, there were no other works of art that could receive the light it shined. It seemed as though there used to be plenty of things upying this vacant space, but were all robbed to leave the temple like an empty storage.
We didnt go far until we arrived at the deepest part of the temple. There was a statue of Senior 1 here as well.
Holy Sword?
Held in the golden statues hand was a pale-green sword that seemed as if it was coated in molten emerald. My instinct as a Hero told me that it was a Holy Sword, but its outward appearance and color was a design that might suit the Elf King more.
The female priest replied with a nod.
It is the sword which apanied the Hero of Origin his whole life. There was no concept of a Holy Sword at the time, so it was called the strongest magic sword. For long I have guarded this sword as his wife.
So youre a widow.
I didnt mean for you to interpret my words that way
The female priests daintily clenched fists shook hard.
I proceeded to speak after letting out augh.
Is there nothing apart from the Holy Sword?
I already had Holy Sword 2. Although I couldnt summon it in this ce, that didnt mean my partner was gone for good. The number of Holy Swords a Hero could possess was only one; there was no reason to be greedy for more.
I will speak a little of the past. The Hero of Origin, who slew the Demon of Origin, ended up going out of control when not even 500 years had passed since his feat. After forcing a one-sided understanding on his wives who had supported him for long years, he rushed out into the world. Yes, thats righthe began to have extramarital affairs!
Ah, here we go again. The truth thaty behind a ridiculously childish world. There were plenty of simr cases back at my home, Earth. To give a famous example out of them
The Trojan War.
A certain goddess who failed to receive an invitation to a wedding gave away a problematic golden apple, and three other goddesses quarreled among themselves in order to obtain it, until finally the prince of Troy who stepped forward as the mediator gave the cause of the issue, the apple, to the goddess of love and beauty. The world was about give and take! The goddess of love and beauty, who obtained the golden apple, wrapped up and gifted the most beautiful woman in the world the prince of Troy.
The Greek king, who had his wife abruptly stolen from him, set off on a military expedition towards the kingdom of Troy together with his brother. A great many heroes and youths died in the war that followed, and the Troy army who had be drunk on their victory would end up suffering defeat due to taking in a giant wooden horse that was abandoned before their castle gates.
Conclusion: the mischief of a woman who didnt get to receive a wedding invitation had escted things to war.
The truth is but worthless after all
I had already lost interest. I wanted nothing but to collect the reward for clearing this Cave of Training and quickly leave.
Sir Hero, this isnt a problem to be made light of.
The female priest thusined to me, venting the fury towards her husband that had piled up all this time. It was almost amazing how she had held it in until now. She went on to rattle off a veritable torrent of words about her insignificant family affairs.
I have no interest in the matters of anothers family.
My patience was about to reach its end.
Ahem. Im sorry. I became slightly upset.
The perceptive female priest got a start and immediately apologized.
If you get it then quickly get to the main subject, and only the main subject.
Yes. The Hero of Origin who ran amok while ignoring the love and friendship of hispanions, who had shared both sweet and bitter times with him, received punishmentdefeated by the united efforts of hispanions, the Hero fled to the other side of the world. He has still not died, which is why the title of widow isnt right for me. Do you understand?
I really could not give a damn.
The reason why I am telling you, the next generation Hero, of my sorrowful past affairs is simple. Please bear my story in mind, so as to not go astray as the Hero of Origin did. Even if you defeat Demon King Pedonar, I hope that you will not be intoxicated on power and remain a righteous Hero. Please.
Alright.
I was a very clean man when it came to the matter of women; I wouldnt make the same mistake as Senior 1 had.
There are a total of three kinds of trials that remain before you.
The female priest thus said while holding out three fingers.
Out with it, then.
To battle that statue which resembles the Hero of Origin and win. To receive the Holy Swords acknowledgement after winning. And finally, to absorb and make yours his power which the statue contains.
I slightly nodded in response to show my understanding. The female priest had spoken of three trials, but they all seemed easy apart from the first trial of defeating the statue; they were like a reward that came with a package. The question here was: how strong was that statue?
Ive finished preparing, so hurry up and start.
I thus said after lightly warming up.
She proceeded to reply.
It will automatically begin when you approach the statue.
That so?
Dont worry even if you are slightly pushed to defend, as I was also apanion of the Hero at one time. I will lend my aid, even if only to prove to you, the next generation Hero, how important the power of love and friendship is.
Do as you like.
Since I couldnt tell thebat prowess of the statue, I had no intention of dissuading the Blessing(Z) female priest who offered to help for free. But of course, I was going to immediately punish her with a herniated waist disc if she proved to be nothing but a hindrance instead of being help like my 1st ythroughpanions.
I slowly drew near the statue.
Dudududu!
Sensing a thief aiming for the Holy Sword, the statue began to tremble, and its golden eyelids abruptly snapped open, the obsidian gems embedded in its eye sockets emitting a sharp gleam. I could easily tell that those gems were the cores of a golem.
Even its Status began to be visible to me.
?Race: Chaos Golem
?Level: 100
?Job: Hero(EXP 200%)
?Skills: Chaos(Z) [?][?](C)
?Condition: Thawing
I couldnt help but be slightly surprised upon seeing the statues Skills. I hadnt seen wrong because of dirt getting in my eye.
[?][?](C). It was a C-rank ck-Box. The golden golem which supposedly contained Senior 1s power also possessed ck-Box like I did, and its rank was even higher than mine. What did that mean?
Fwii-
Unfortunately, I had no time to ponder; the golem had leaped towards me at a speed that belied its heavy golden body. Its first move was a stab, a whirlwind of chaotic power coiled around the Holy Swords pale-green de. It seemed like it would ground me like a blender upon making the slightest contact.
This is nuts!
A curse escaped my lips despite myself. The things I had gone through up till now had still been within eptable limits, but that was thanks to the dolls of the training rooms being Level 1 like I was. The one before me, however, was Level 100the efficiency of its Skills were dramatically improved, to an extent that a Level 1 like me couldntpare. Since even the rank of its Skill had entered the transcendental domain, I didnt have a single advantage to show for. Rather, I was at a disadvantage.
I will help you, Sir Hero!
No, I wasntpletely outmatched.
The female priest held out both her palms towards me from afar as if to aid me.
Swaa!
A pure-white light that shot out from her hands suffused into me.
?Race: Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Pdin(Divinity=Blessing)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) [?][?](D)
?Condition: Training, Blessing, Divinity
Was it because I had received a blessing from a high-rank female priest? My Job had changed, and an unbelievable phenomenon followed.
Hahah
Laughter rose from my chest despite myself.
My body had be filled with blessing, and it wasnt only because of the female priest blessing me from the safe rear.
A new Skill had been added.
?Type: Job Skill
?Name: Blessing
?Rank: Z
[?]ZZ: Manifests eternal blessing.
[?]Z: Blessing upon blessing.
?SSS: Manifests impure blessing.
?SS: Manifests divine blessing.
?S: Manifests blessing of fortune.
?A: Blesses self.
?B: Manifests blessing ofbat.
?C: Manifests blessing of protection.
?D: Manifests blessing of death.
?E: Manifests blessing of life.
?F: Blesses target.
Something unbelievable had urredI had gained another transcendental domain Skill with no other reason than getting a Job, and it was an auxiliary type full of very substantial effects at that.
I immediately cast Blessing on myself.
Swaa-!
The female priest had cast the Skill twice on me, and myself twice as well. The effects of Blessing ovepped four times thanks to the Skills Z-rank effect, and the result was truly surprising.
Haha!
As I let out a sound that hovered between aughter and battle cry, I bare-handedly caught the golems pale-green Holy Sword. The whirlwind of chaotic force buffeted my right arm as if to shred it to pieces, but failed to harm my skin that was armored in Divinity and Blessing. A deep sense of puzzlement took hold in the golems obsidian eyes.
Thwack!
I took advantage of that moment to ram my knee upwards and crush the golems groin. While there was no thingy down there, it was enough to shake the golems center of gravity.
It was safe to say that what followed was one-sided; after wresting the Holy Sword from the hand of the golem, which was struggling however it could to win against me, I severed its neck in one strike.
DangThud!
Afterwards, I stabbed the golems obsidian eyes which were its cores.
Freeze.
The golems body, which had been continuously trying to run wild despite its head flying off, froze, and the inertia of its previous movements caused it to roll across the ground in an unsightly manner. With that, the battle hade to an end.
This ones got quite the feel to it.
But my partner would remain Holy Sword 2 even from now on. This pale-green Holy Sword was too light and thin like those delicate Elves, so it didnt feel satisfying to swing it. And it didnt seem like it was equipped with some special feature eithe- Huh?
Ssss~
The Holy Sword didnt fall away from my hand, as if stuck on with adhesive, and as if that wasnt enough, a green energy passed through the sword into my body as if to upy it. Just what sort of feature was this?
As if to solve my question, the female priest interrupted my thoughts.
Congrattions, Sir Hero! I see youve received the Holy Swords acknowledgement? That is the original form of the current existing Holy Sword. It will enter your mind and help you in the battles toe. Thats how it should be.
Srrr
A ck energy began to flow out from the remains of the obsidian gems formerly embedded in the destroyed golems eye sockets as well. This, too, suffused itself into my body.
So this means it was a trap from the start?
The female priest replied to my question with a gentle smile.
A trap, you say? Far from it. Congrattions, Sir Hero! The forbidden power that was stolen from the Hero of Origin has be yours. Although the price will be that all your memories will vanish and you will be controlled by the Holy Sword, dont be too worried. You will continue to y the role of a brilliant Hero. You will cherish only me, and forever as a belovedpanio-
The female priest began to whisper words of love out of the blues, stroking at my chest. I, too, turned up my lips into a bright smile and returned the favor.
Thanks for congratting me. Ill use the power well.
What-? Kyah?!
[?][?](D)[?][?](C)
Crack.
I was so thankful that I twisted her neck for her. But no matter how many times somebody was killed in this Cave of Training, they couldnt die, which was why I decided to test the new rank effect of ck-Box I had gained this time on her.
?Type: Skill
?Name: [?][?]
?Rank: C
?B: [?][?][?] [?][?][?][?][?]
?C: Induce oblivion in target.
?D: Will not be muddled.
?E: Cannot be destroyed.
?F: Will not forget.
And I gave her a deep kiss, a farewell gift to the female priest who confessed her love for me.
Mm.
Uuhb?!
Ssss~
The pale-green energy of the Holy Sword, which had nowhere to go due to the powerful mental barrier formed by ck-Box, rode my tongue and passed into the female priests throat.
What would this lead to? (Grin).
Chapter 62 - Mr. Witness! Please help
Chapter 62: Mr. Witness! Please help
The light of intelligence faded from the eyes of the female priest as she shared a deep kiss with me, proof that her memory hadpleted disappeared under ck-Boxs effect. But that state didntst for longher eyes returned to normal as a green light filled them. Her attitude, however, took a 180 turn.
Master, I await your orders.
A mechanical voice without the cute-acting, oh how pleasing it was to hear. And it wasnt only her attitude and personality that had changed either.
?Race: Old Human
?Level: 1
?Job: ve(EXP 50%)
?Skills: Blessing(Z)
?Condition: Oblivion, Administration, Subordination, Holy Sword
She had been reduced to a lowly ve from a noble female priest. Having be an imbecile from the total loss of her memories and powerlessly fallen under the Holy Swords control, she was no longer able to maintain her former Job. She had changed from a person to a loyal tool. The term ve was not at all wrong or excessive.
But something happened when I had been musing on how to make use of her.
Psss
The body of the female priest, who had been quietly on standby, crumbled into pieces like sand, disappearing as if melting into the world like the corpse of a monster that had be EXP.
It wasnt my doing.
Whats going on?
What of the Holy Sword which had be one with the female priest? Its fate didnt differ by much.
Crack-!
A crack appeared in the body of the sword before it shattered like ss; however, it wasnt like even the power of the female priest subordinated by the Holy Sword had disappeared as well.
?Race: Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Pope(Divinity=Propagandism)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Blessing(Z) [?][?](C)
?Condition: Training
It had been absorbed by me in its entirety. I had opened up the second transcendental domain in a moment of bewilderment.
I thought the next would be Dark Energy, though.
My Job had advanced a bit and turned into that of a religious leader. It didnt stir my interest as its Job perk was a level lower than a Saint. Propagandism? It was a lower version of Fabrication, no matter how you looked at it. Didnt propagandism naturally follow fabrication?
[?]Peek: Have you finished?
Miss Trainee Teacher. Where did you go off to beforeing now? This pure Hero over here nearly ended up eaten by a starved married woman, you know?
[?]Flustered: Im sorry. There are lesson contents which I cant involve myself in with the status of a trainee teacher. Im d that you seem to havepleted it safely!
That so?
The teaching staff who had shifted everything over to a trainee teacher had interfered for the first time. Although they hadnt popped out during the training, they silenced the mouth of the trainee teacher who had been providing me bits of information. I couldnt take this lightly.
Hero of Origin(Senior 1).
ck-Box.
There was a need to investigate into these two things in detail. When putting together the story told by the female priest, who had disappeared leaving only Blessing(Z), it seemed that Senior 1 had escaped from the world of Fantasia. I had to find out the method he used. It was extremely likely that the clue to doing soy in the forbidden power said to be stolen from Senior 1 and ck-Box.
For the first time I can see dreams and hopes in this fantasy world!
Drrr-
An exit opened up in the spot where Senior 1s statue had been erected. The treacherous guide had died, and there was nothing written saying that the path was the way out, but I didnt feel it would lead to another strange training.
I made my way out of the Cave of Training without regrets.

Wee, Sir Hero!
The moment I stepped back into the world, after defeating a married woman who had attempted to take the virtuous Hero off the market, Lanuvel greeted me while ying cute.
My fist had almost shot forward out of automatic reflex.
Whats with the honorific all of a sudden?
The hussy who had always talked without respect and called me her brother, despite not sharing a single drop of blood, had reverted to how she was originally. Indeed, this was the Lanuvel that I knew. But wasnt she supposed to be a little sister this time around in the 6th ythrough?
Lanuvel proceeded to speak as she pointed at the Holy Sword hung by her belt.
Elder Brother is the chosen Hero, after all. ording to the Holy Sword auntie, a Hero needs to be able to cut down even family if its for the sake of world peace. Thats why I judged that I cant remain as an adorable little sister like I am now, because you cant cut down an adorable little sister!
Hmm that so?
Why did she think that I wouldnt be able to cut her down? If it was for my graduation, I could carry out the deed whenever; it didnt matter one bit whether she was a little sister orpanion. I had told her to obediently wait outside the Cave of Training, yet she had been doing something truly useless.
Or if not that
From what I had heard, the teaching staff couldnt interfere in the middle of lessons; however, couldnt they do so indirectly like how Professor Morals had ceaselessly nagged at me?
Lanuvels sudden change in attitude there was always the possible that the teaching staff had deemed a cute little sister had no effect on me and so persuaded her into changing. And the most suspicious thing right now?
Holy Sword 3 said those things?
Yes, Sir Hero.
I see. I hold big expectations for you from now on as well.
I looked back on my journey. If I didnt have Holy Sword 2, then I would have had no choice but to take hold of Holy Sword 3 and would have had to listen to her advice all day long, and that position perfectly coincided with that of Professor Moralsit couldnt be passed off as a simple coincidence, the reason being that I had experienced too much contrivery disguised as coincidence in this barbaric world.
Just like what was happening now.
YuYuuu-!
Gasp! Its Orcs! Theres a lot of them!
Somebody please help~!
BuBu!
Bastards! Not the women!
I heard an auditory hallucination from beyond the dense forest.
There was no way it was real.
Sir Hero! I hear voices calling for help!
Lanuvel hopped up and down in impatience, set ame with justice; however, her rear end which swayed left and right was honestshe was bursting with the desire to try out the Sages Staff.
Lanuvel. You must have heard wrong.
The screams and cries of people and Orcsing from the east grew louder.
Hm. I suddenly feel like going west.
Youre saying theres a problem with Lanuvels ears?!
Yes. Lets think about it calmlyas the kings personal territory, this an area prohibited for civilians. There are guards deployed everywhere, and the standard of monsters that appear is extremely low since this is a hunting ground for royalty. Its impossible for people so pathetic as to ask help from a third party toe here.
Y-you do have a point, but
Rustle-Rustle.
At that moment, I heard the sound of footsteps over grass, followed by the intive cry of a youngdy.
Please help!
It was an idiotic woman who had entered the hunting ground wearing a fluttering dress and a pair of high heels, and she was being chased by a gentlemanly-looking Orc.
NuNu!
The Orc grabbed hold of the youngdys wrist that was as thin as a twig, and pulled her right over in a manly manner.
Kyah?!
Only those with courage could obtain a beautythe youngdy frantically attempted resistance, but was forced into the Orcs embrace.
May you share beautiful love from now on
Yah!
KuKu~?!
Lanuvels cute-acting cry and the Orcs sorrowful scream sounded out almost simultaneously; the magical arrow that was shot out from the golden orb at the end of the Sages Staff made its mark on the Orcs head.
Thump.
A hole opened up in its head, the Orc tumbled over backward.
What sin was love?
Sir Hero! I took care of the Orc!
The Level 200 Magician was delighted at having killed a Level 20 Orc. One who bullies the weak should know to be embarrassed.
Tsk-tsk, poor Orc fellow. Curse your fate of being born weaker than a girl that ys cute.
Howe?!
Ignoring Lanuvel who failed to realize her wrong as usual, I approached the youngdy who was still sitting weakly on the grass trembling violently. Confirming her Status which would make simple work of identifying was a given.
?Race: Human
?Level: 15
?Job: Princess(National Power=Charm)
?Skills: Coquetry(C) Charm(D) Sociability(E) Magic(F)
?Condition: Fear, Uneasy
Perhaps it was only too natural that the gorgeously dressed youngdy, who had entered a prohibited area where only royalty and the likes could go, was a princess. For starters, she wasnt in my memories. It seemed right to interpret this as that she had died before I travelled over to the northern continent in the 1st ythrough.
What a hassle.
After entrusting the princess, who failed to regain her senses, to Lanuvel, I simultaneously activated all the Skills I had recovered upon finishing the training.
Fwooosh-
A storm began to brew with me at the center.
The Cave of Training wasnt simply made for the sole purpose of screwing over the Hero.
It was a training that squeezed everything out of you under unfavorable conditions without the Skills and Job perk that you had taken granted for and relied on until now. Although I had cleared almost all the rooms with ease using Divinity(Z), it was true that it grew slightly difficult as I drew near the Graduates Room. Very slightly.
Unyielding(F)Unyielding(D)
Conquest(F)Conquest(E)
Ardor(F)Ardor(E)
I obtained arge number of Skills which I werent able to see after the 1st ythrough, which was a truly hard experience as I didnt have a grasp of things. I had developed these Skills in session in ordance to the extreme situations I was driven into, and my existing Skills had all improved as well.
I think I could manage if I fought with that prince again?
I also had two transcendental domain Skills now, and while the prince might also have two, my Skill set granted me a far greater advantage when it came to purebat ability. Added to this was Holy Sword 2s amplification.
I guess Ill do a light clean up first.
I cast a divine blessing upon my body. Twice. After Divinity(Z) was amplified through Holy Sword 2, I used Blessing(Z) which was likewise boosted to cast another two divine blessings. It was a five-fold amplification in simple calction.
A divine aura that was enhanced to the extreme swathed my body.
Tak!
I lightly flicked a finger, and the divine energy that was sent spreading throughout the entire hunting ground from me eradicated all the monsters. Race, Level, Skills, Condition ignoring all of that, I equally gifted repose to all of hem.
Massacre(C)Massacre(B)
I frowned upon going to the scene of the Orc attack; everywhere I looked, I saw the corpses of men who had died with torn limbs and heads. There were even signs of some of them having been eaten by the Orcs.
Sob-sob, sob-sob
Wuhhh
Two women who I guessed to be the princess maids and a female knight were curled up in the middle of a road, their clothing torn apart. There must have been a mob of Orcs here right before I flicked my finger, and they must have been surrounding the three women. The expressions on their faces showed mental copse from shock and fear.
[?]Depressed: I feel sorry for them
Me too, Miss Trainee Teacher.
From now on, these women would live out their lives carrying not only the injuries of their bodies, but also a sickness of the heart as well. Or that would be the case normally.
These women were in luck, since they had met a professional troubleshooter. To speak of my career record, I had spent over 10 years cleaning up afterpanions who enjoyed taking reckless action. In the process, I had even counseled many natives who would have been better off dying instead. My performance in this field gradually improved as I umted the know-how.
[?]Startled: You even did therapy? Just what havent you done before, Student Kang Han Soo?
Miss Trainee, dont ask questions too difficult.
However, that was the old school method. I intended to do things swift and easy starting from today.
Youdies over there, frightened by the oily bacon party, look into my eyes. Then those awful memories will disappear, while your injured bodies will be redeemed by my blessing.
I cleanly erased the bad memories of the women using ck-Box, while I spotlessly tidied up their dirtied bodies using Blessing.
Ah!
Oh my!
The woman who had been curling up while covering their breasts and private parts wore dazed looks, their faces saying they didnt know why they had been lying down on the earthen ground. Not long after, however, after realizing that they were nude and their surroundings were full of the corpses of men, they began to kick up a fuss shrieking out loud. But their expressions werent that of despair like from before.
The case was cleanly solved without psychological counseling!
I waited for the women to change into new clothes, and before long they reunited with the princess who sluggishly made her way over with Lanuvels support.
Princess! Where did you go off to!
S-sorry.
Berated by the female knight, the princess wore an aggrieved look. Although there was a slight confusion that came with their memories being erased, that was nothing but a very minor issue.
Its terrible. The prince has passed away.
How could something like this happen during the first hunting
The women who were saved by me appeared stupefied as they looked at the corpse of a nerdy-looking youth. Apparently, the prince who was next in line to the throne had died, but that had nothing whatsoever to do with me.
It was at that moment that
Clippity-Clop, Clippity-Clop.
A group of people on horseback came galloping over. They wereprised of elites that gave off a qualitatively different atmosphere to the dead men who were scattered about in the area.
A face that I knew was at the groups lead.
?Race: human
?Level: 285
?Job: Royalty(LineageDignity)
?Skills: Magic(C) Magic Power(C) Sorcery(D) Evil Spirits(D) Dignity(E)
?Condition: Flustered
His swarthy face that resembled a sweet potato and his excellent Status coincided exactly with my memorieshe was the Magic Kingdoms next king to be. His elder brother, the current king, would die at the end of his struggling against illness 3 yearster, after which this man would gloriously rise to the throne under the absolute support of the citizens and nobles. I remembered that he did quite good work as well; he was quick at calctions, as bing of a Magician, and he abided by the rule of equal exchange.
I was d to see him after so long.
And he greeted me with dness, too.
Kill them all.
What did you say, you punk?
Chapter 63 - For the sake of hopes and dreams
Chapter 63: For the sake of hopes and dreams
Your Grace, the witness is a divine personage!
Indeed, Your Grace. Attacking a divine personage is
Please think again, Your Grace!
They were a small-minded lot who were fine with killing the prince and princess of their mothend, yet were reluctant tomit the sin of attacking a divine individual; however, the man to be the next king wasnt shaken even by the persuasion of his subordinates.
Youre all noisy! He is certain to be a source of misfortune if we let him go for being divine! Send him off as respectfully, as painlessly as you can!
I hade to realize one truth from his words; not all natives of this world were vulnerable to divinity. It was possible they would ignore it saying So what if youre divine? due to their own desires, selfishness and such despite knowing I was divine. But I didnt fall into disappointment.
It was because there was the new possibility of Divinity(Z)s effect extending to Earthling as well, even though I had thought it only worked on this fantasy worlds natives. This incident signified that anyone would feel I was divine upon seeing me, after all. Divinity(Z) was bound to be quite useful on Earth as well, though it wouldnt be as much as on Fantasias continents where the existence of God was definite.
Understood, Your Grace.
For our beloved fathend!
O divine sir! May you forgive me!
The men wielding fearsome weapons sprang rushed towards me. Their horses galloped at a speed of 60km per hour, and so the time it took for the humans riding them to charge over was extremely short; however, this was also rtive. I contemted upon numerous thoughts until they arrived.
Would the biased and unfair grader deal me a penalty if I were to kill these people? Or would he smoothly pass over it? But I quickly came to a conclusionas someone who possessed this much ability, there was really no need for me to be risk-taking.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 586
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Blessing(Z) Dark Energy(SSS) Fabrication(SS) Summon(S)
?Condition: Divine, Holy Sword, Saintess, Blessed
Killing wasnt my only talent. If I were to persuade the other party and lead them onto the correct path, then I would be able to settle the matter peacefully without dirtying my hand. And I was already prepared to do so.
1) Dont have a certification, but have 10 years experience in therapy
2) Have Divinity(Z) which will prove my clean identity
3) Have Blessing(Z) which will bring calm to the body and mind of patients
4) Have Dark Energy(SSS) which is effective on demon worshipers
5) Have Fortune(A) which will reduce unexpected circumstances and lead things in the right direction
6) Have Fabrication(SS) which will epass all this in harmony
I would be slightly difficult or troublesome to do with only Divinity(Z), but I could ovee and bring under control anything with the help of these numerous Skills.
Stop the fighting!
Clippity-Clop
All of them reigned in their horses at my resonant cry. I enveloped my body in Divinity and Blessing like they were the vestment of a Pope, and cast Blessing on my enemies, agitated by the will to fight, to calm their hearts. Andst of all I presented an expression that was the culmination of my 10 years of know-how.
Gasp!
Hiik?!
All trembled in body, deeply moved.
The act of murdering the prince and princess of a nation stands to treason. Think of your wife and children who wait for you and for pay day back at home, everyone. If not, then think of your aged parents and cute younger siblings, girlfriends.
That
Mm
Do not listen! No one will know if they are all killed!
The Sweet Potato Duke, who had been so close to bing to the next king, urged his subordinates with a flustered face; however,ing from a man who would have nothing if you took away his status of royalty and D-rank dignity, his words of persuasion didnt have the slightest effect.
Here, I dealt the final blow.
Please make the right decision. I have the Sage at my back, and furthermore, the prince and princess are royalty even if they are ipetent mere children, and the duke you all follow is a heartless man trying to kill his own nephew and niece. If a king is ipetent you only need appoint a regent. There is no real need to be obsessed with the king himself. Now! What will you all do?
My throat felt dry, having used thenguage of gentlemen after so long. But even though I had put in this much effort, they were still at a loss, unable to make a choice. I could tell they were bound rather tightly by faith and loyalty; however, I had a hidden card to ythe existences who were, at the same time, everywhere and nowhere throughout the continents of Fantasia.
Glory to the great one-!
Kuugh?! W-why!
Stabbed from behind by the sword of a subordinate, the Sweet Potato Duke was astonished. It was understandable for him to feel that way, since he was betrayed by the close aide who had even firmly supported his designated sessor upon his bing the king of the Magic Kingdom. It couldnt be helped if he felt disbelieving and aggrieved.
?Race: Human
?Level: 235
?Job: Noble(Pedigree=Elegance)
?Skills: Swordsmanship(C) Dignity(C) Sociability(C) Dark Energy(D) Politics(D)
?Condition: Blind Devotion
After all, we were bound by something even firmer than loyaltyDark Energy. You could tell by just looking at Demon King Pedonar, who sent off his subordinates and children to be the Heros EXP, while he idled about sitting on his throne. Yet not a single rebellion would arise. The society of demons was the true, thoroughly hierarchical society, where one would absolutely submit to someone with greater Dark Energy.
Flomp.
Done in from behind, the Sweet Potato Duke fell off his horse without even having the chance to even use a single spell of magic, which was held in greater esteem than even royalty. This was the fruitlessst moment of a man, who was expected to be the Sage if only he had purely pursued the path of magic.
To think that Royal Uncle tried to kill us
This truth must be made known to His Majesty!
Princess, let us hurry back to the pce.
The princess, female knight and maids cluelessly babbled on among themselves. What were they thinking, saying such things in front of the men who were full of worry that they might be treated as aplices of treason and end up ruining both themselves and their families?
Thus, I decided to calm them down a bit.
Why is Royal Uncle here?
Eh? Oh my!
D-did something happen?
Using ck-Box, I erased the memories of the four women, who had seemed like they would tattle to the perpetually ill king the moment they returned to the pce. The Skill was so convenient that I could almost cry.
[?]Confused: Student Kang Han Soo. I wonder if this is still okay?
Miss Trainee Teacher, theres no need to worry at all.
I had neither killed somebody nor brought them misfortune. Since I had be involved in this, I would perfectly take care of the aftermath.
It was time to y my second hidden cardI summoned forth Saintess H.
Resurrect them.
Yes, master. Ahhh~??
The people who were murdered by the Orcs all came back to life. Although their Levels did fall somewhat, that could be solved by steadily raising it again. The prince, the knights, magicians, soldiers I had all of them resurrected except for the Sweet Potato Duke. The sin of trying to kill me was a heavy one. If I were to leave him alive, he was bound to try and kill his nephew and niece again, or raise a rebellion and cause the country to be split in two. It was better to remove the seed of trouble here.
I definitely died
What on earth
Gasp! Why is the Saintess here!
A miracle! This is a miracle!
A smallmotion followed afterwards, but I cleanly settled it using the fantasticbination of Fabrication and Oblivion, by iming that the Sweet Potato Duke hade running over to the hunting ground in order to save his nephew and niece, but was murdered by an unknown assassin. There were very few who knew of the truth, and the number of deceased who couldnt be resurrected was four in total,prised of soldiers whose corpses were damaged too severely and the Sweet Potato Duke. This was the most ideal conclusion. Only
I hear that you lowly things saved me. Y-you?! How dare you look at me, the prince, with such eyes! Get out of my way. I will specially forgive you this time only for being divine. And Ahem-hem! You, the cute Magician girl beside him. Considering the great merit of having saved me, I shall invite you to the party that will be held tomorrow. Be honored.
The resurrected prince wasnt to my liking. It was fine however much he lewdly gazed at the cute-acting Lanuvels body, but I couldnt forgive his attitude of ignoring me.
This confirmed it for the second time. The prince, royalty, the Sage, nobles, the female priest it seemed that those with an amazing Job or with lofty statuses had a strong tendency of not being affected by my holiness.
As such, I wondered: how should I deal with this prince? There were many eyes around, for starters. If I were to kill him again, the matter which I had taken pains to settle would beplicated again. It was bad enough that there were some who held the question of Why couldnt the Duke be resurrected?. I had to deal with it as quietly as possible, and so
Prince. Please look at my face once.
Hmph! Your vulgar face
What do you see?
That is to say Who am I? Where is this?
I hadpletely wiped the princes memories, while leaving him with only the capability to carry out a basic livelihood and speak thenguage. Since he was going to be a retarded king the way he was anyhow and screw over the country, I outright resetted his software. With this, the future of the Magic King had be brighter.
I felt it a pity that I couldnt make my achievement public. My tendency to meddle and do free service was definitely an upational disease.
[?]Confused: This will have settled the matter cleanly, right?
Miss Trainee Teacher worried too much.
Lets go over the whole episode
The men who had followed the Sweet Potato Duke also had friends and families of their own. If those soldiers died, the number of people who would feel sorrowful wasnt few, and there were also bound to be people whose livelihoods would be difficult or be put in danger as a result. Furthermore, the soldiers possessed outstandingbat ability. In this fantasy world wherepetent high-quality manpower was alwayscking, their deaths would lead to the deterioration of the kingdoms public order, as well as the loss of its citizens lives.
The Sweet Potato Duke who had aimed to usurp the throne had died, and the ipetent prince would begin anew due to memory loss.
With this, the idiot princess would be next in line to the throne; however, the right of session in the Magic Kingdom had been held by men for generations. Considering its tradition and history, it was very much likely that a son-inw with exceptional talent in magic would be ced on the seat of regent. It was perfect from a logical point of viewthere couldnt be a happier settlement of an affair than this.
Sir Hero, somethings strange.
Lanuvel, who had been walking beside me, thus grumbled.
What is?
Its just strange somehow!
Its stranger that youre grumbling, you know? If you dont want your ass thrashed by your brother who doesnt resemble you at all, follow along quietly.
Aww
When the princess invited us to the scheduled party tomorrow in ce of the prince, who had fallen into amnesia, I courteously declined her. I had no more business with the Magic Kingdom, after all, and even Holy Sword 3 rmended independent adventuring for the time being. We thus set forth to go on an adventure again.
As for our next destination?
The time hade to try out the Sages Staff.

Snowy Mountain M, an enormous snow-covered mountain thaty in the center of the northern continent. The natural hot springs that gushed out from various spots across Snowy Mountain M had attracted countless travelers there, and the viges which hade to naturally form as people gathered gradually developed into tourist sites. But if that was all, then only ordinary folk would have gathered.
The average Level in the area of Snowy Mountain M sharply rose due to the monsters drawn over by the immense mana that flowed out of the mountain along with the hot spring waters. And what happened when the Level of monsters rose? Evildoers used them as a natural line of defense and began to prepare hideouts in the depths of Snowy Mountain M. Vicious criminals, bandits, Magicians, exiles, serial killers, escaped prisoners they were a truly various bunch.
And where the needle went the thread was bound to followwhere there were viins, there were heroes, too. Heroes rushed over to Snowy Mountain M in order to punish the viins who attacked the tourist sites formed around the hot springs, who would enjoy the romance of the beautiful sightseeing spot from where Snowy Mountain M could be seen as they protected the public order, and then more visitors woulde to see these heroes.
The vige we visited, Vige Q, was one of those ces.
Gasp! Could that cute archaeologist be?
Its real! Its Archaeologist Lanuvel!
Oh! Id heard she was in the northern continent, but it was real!
When a baseball yer went to a golfing course, few people would realize them. Only when a baseball yer went onto a baseball court could they be recognized by people who might go By chance are you the yer of some team?. This was something which also applied in this fantasy world.
Of course, an amazingly famous person would be recognized by many wherever they went, but Lanuvel wasnt that well known; she had never performed a distinguished feat on a battlefield, and neither had she ever defeated some powerful monster or demon all by herself. Her Job was that of a sneaky grave-robberput elegantly, she was an archaeologist who delved into the secrets of the world. Nevertheless, she was rather well received in a certain vige of Snowy Mountain M.
But who is the man beside her?
Ohh! Whatever the case, its certain that hes a divine personage.
Could it be that hes Lanuvels boyfrien- Hiik?!
I shot a re towards the passerby Viger 5 for having an unpleasant misunderstanding.
Sir Hero! Im a bit famous, you see!
Lanuvel acted pompously in an irritating manner, putting strength into her shoulders and buttocks.
Lanuvel, listen carefully. In this neighborhood, if you show a bloodstained knife to some bards and drunkards while treating them to some free drinks, you could transform into an Orc yer within a single day.
Eh?! Really?
Despite being a native of this world, Lanuvel was less informed than even an Earthling about the ways of the world.
Ill show you a demonstration.
It just so happened that I needed information on the Hero of Origin, and this was also the reason I had chosen toe to Vige Q of all the many viges established on Snowy Mountain M. The Dark Commerce they would sell anything that was worth money. They were a determined bunch that would even find out the color and design of the underwear Saintess C frequently wore, so long as there were customers and demand. For reference, it was pink with a phoenix drawn on it.
Bang!
I kicked open and entered through the doors of the biggest pub in Vige Q, and the eyes of the noise-making rabble inside gathered on me. First came building a reputation.
Remember well my face and name! Im the divine Hero wholl be the one to make the vicious Ice Princess who lives on the snowy mountain to submit! Hey, bartender! Open up the liquor cer! Im taking over this pub until the sun rises tomorrow!
Ohh! Another Hero, is it!
Divine Brother Hero! You can do it!
Liquor? Now theres a friend who knows whats what!
The drunkards cheered in response, and rumors of this event soon spread throughout Vige Q.
It didnt matter even if the teaching staff were to y some kind of trick. If the Z-rank prince came attacking again, I would simply strike him dead. Like how the high-schoolers on Earth entered the universities they were admitted into, I just had to get to Earth whether it be by graduating or escaping.
The previously hazy path before me began to clear up.
My fellow adventurers! Dreams and hopes are alive! Hahah!
Chapter 64 - No drinking and adventuring!
Chapter 64: No drinking and adventuring!
There was an old saying that went, you reap what you sow.
And I deeply agreed with this, with the reason being that news of Sir Hero Hantsoo* is gonna conquer the Ice Princess! was as widespread as the amount of money I had splurged at the pub. The only ones that still didnt know of me were the children who couldnt drink yet. Nay, on second thought, the children who had listened in on the talk of the adults were even more hyper about the matter.
(* Note: Sometimes the natives mispronounce his name)
Neither the vigers, visitors nor adventurers of Vige Q came picking a fight with me, spouting something along the lines of Dont talk bullcrap!, and that was because there were already many precedents of this.
Make the Ice Princess submit, he says? How could that be possib-
Hahah! That pleasant Hero really is never free from worry.
As for us, isnt it fine so long as we can get some free drinks? Haha!
Thats right! Cheers to Sir Hero Hantsoo!
The surroundings of Snowy Mountain M were bursting with heroes. On the continents of Fantasia where your Status was epted as if it were a resident registration card, the word hero was interpreted as someone who would one day y the Demon King. Indeedone day. In short, brave adventurers were all called heroes.
I was also entered into this group of people, as one of the men who imed to overpower the Ice Princess, who was said to be as beautiful as a cluster of falling snowkes, and take her as their bride. The number of such braggarts were uncountably many. Although I felt extremely ufortable with being treated the same as those bachelors, I decided to tolerate it until I grabbed the Ice Princess by the neck and dragged her over to Vige Q. I was no different from those blowhards who were nothing but talk right now, after all. Proof was important.
As for the next thing I had to do
Bartender.
I had no thoughts of only focusing on being standard(graduating). Like how there were regr admissions and non-scheduled admissions for university entrance examinations, I was going to thoroughly prepare to escape from the continents of Fantasia like Senior-1 had. To that end, collecting information was a necessity.
You called, soon-to-be-taking-the-fearsome-Ice-Princess Sir Hero? Is there an appetizer youd like?
Give me a real fiery one,ter at noon.
Using the Promised Code which was only used in the Dark Commerce that extended throughout the entirety of Fantasia, I finished my customer authentication overnight. Although the password I spoke was slightly off due to havinge here much too earlier than I did in the in the 1st ythrough, when I had been active in the northern continent, but the bartender, in high spirits from the big jump in sales, shamelessly overlooked it. My divine status had yed arge part in this.
The Barter shed a grin and replied in the midst of wiping a ss.
Ill arrange the very best.

The Dark Commerce, which frequently crossed the line between illegal and legal, would sell anything, and they even knew how to be flexible if it was for the sake of maximizing profits. What this meant was that when they werent trading illegal goods like in a ck market, they would provide plenty of service so as the spare the customer from taking trouble. Of course, this was limited to customers verified through the Promised Code.
Brother Sir Hero, Lanuvel is full
Alright. Looks like a heavy drinker is going to be born from that swollen belly of yours.
Youre too much Hic!
Pipe down and just sleep, will you.
With the intent of shutting her down this time for sure, I had fed cheap drinks with high alcohol content to Lanuvel all throughout the night; however, following the 3rd ythrough, it was a failure this time as well. After stuffing her into the corner of her lodging on the pubs 2nd floor, I went down to eat the promised noon meal on the 1st floor, together with a lovely youngdy finely adorned in a ck one-piece dress.
Sir Hero, what are you curious about?
The youngdy, who had only been making everyday small talk such as This pubs chicken is really fresh in the midst of a harmonious atmosphere during the meal, abruptly threw me this question.
No customer of the Dark Commerce would cluelessly reply with nonsense at this point. But if there was? They would begin to treat them not as a customer on equal footing, but as a moronic sucker, and would proceed to rip them of their money through ttery and coquetry.
In any case, that was entirely irrelevant to me. Only that mermaid princess Aqua, who was an idiot like the fish she was, and that Elf princess Sylvia, who would suddenly have cotton between her ears the moment she saw anybody of the Dark Commerce, would be treated as suckers.
Ugh! Thinking of those days past made my temper rise again.
I want to know about the Hero of Origin.
You mean the Hero who was the first to defeat Demon King Pedonar, yes?
Right.
Having double checked, the youngdy wet her throat with sweet fruit wine before speaking.
You couldnt be curious about that persons biography or the ordinary tales rted to him The time that spanned from when the Hero of Origin first appeared until he defeated the Demon King was 7 years. It may have been a short period, but the achievements he made and the traces he left in the world are truly staggering. You have to set the scope of
All.
Theres even more than youre imagining.
The youngdy wore a ludicrous expression, her forehead lightly frowned, and so I responded by quietly catching her off guard with a smiling face.
Then shall we do it this way? If you gather information that doesnt ovep with whats publicly known, enough to make a thin book for me, then Ill give you this.
Tap.
I showed her a single drawing of a blueprint I had taken out from my Storage while talking, and the previously unenthusiastic youngdy grew wide eyed.
Th-this is!
The blueprint of a golem, as you can see. An umon item it is. I can even give you the first page in ce of advance payment if you so wish. In return, if you cant collect the amount of information I specified, talk of the blueprint ends here, and the information will be provided free of charge. How about it?
Please give me a moment. Im not an expert in this field, you see.
The youngdy gave several orders to the bartenders. While they did use the Promised Code, I could at least vaguely predict that an expert on golems was being called for.
This was another strong point of the Dark Commerce; there was no wasting time for them. As I slowly appreciated the desert provided by the pub saying it was on the house and was about to finish, the person the youngdy had called for arrived. It was an individual I had seen before in the 1st ythrough; however, it was no human.
?Race: Dwarf
?Level: 145
?Job: Engineer(Knowledge=Path of Magic)
?Skills: Path of Magic(S) Sorcery(A) Magic Power(A) Mental Capacity(B) Craftsmanship(C)
?Condition: Anticipant
A midget came striding inside the pub. He would be called a Dwarf in English, the race that had the greatest talent in crafts from a fantasy world perspective. But if somebody were to ask me whether they were overwhelmingly more talented human craftsmen I would sayI dunno? From how I saw it, their straightforward personality of being able to sit down and work on something for a long time, and the experiences they would umte over their average lifespan of 500 years yed a bigger part. It was half and half of racial characteristic and talent, you could say.
The Dwarf that approached me reached a height of 1m, which was average for his race, and his bushy crimson beard extended to his waist covering it like an apron. His big eyes were big like you would expect on a Dwarf, and his boyish face was innocent-looking without a single wrinkle on it. Just cutting off his beard would be enough to cause him to be mistaken as a human child.
In reality, there were indeed Dwarves who did away with the beard and passed themselves off as humans, travelling around or integrating into human society; however, few members of their race would shave their beards as they thought the more plentiful the beard, the more handsome you were. But whatever the case
Hello. I havee to see the blueprint in question.
You couldnt let yourself be fooled by their young appearances, as Dwarves were by no means a kind race. When it came to the Dwarves, who would retain the appearance of a child almost until death, there was a scary facet to their way of thinking, like that of a pure child.
Ever witnessed the sight of a child tearing off the leg of an insect with a smile? Dwarves would created a weapon of mass murder with a joyful heart and then wrap it up with some nonsense such as it being a masterpiece or art. They were the kind of bunch that would spout things like This sword must be sealed as its too dangerous after making said dangerous item for their self-satisfaction.
A sigh was the first thing that came out of my mouth upon seeing the crimson-bearded Dwarf.
You of all people
This was a variable that I hadnt seening. No, perhaps I should have naturally guessed beforehand as he was someone of the Dark Commerce.
The Dwarf before my eyes was no ordinary engineer, but the chief instigator of the war that urred in the northern continent in my past. His nickname:
The Blood Red Dwarf.
This Dwarf was the maker of the crimson golem which had changed the paradigm of war throughout Fantasias continents. I conveniently called him Dwarf L. Although the War God had surprised the world with his golden golem, he would never have managed to be famous if there had been no one ying the role of antagonist supporting actor and viin. And it was none other than Dwarf L, the one called the Blood Red Dwarf, who had yed that role.
Mm? Me of all people? Does the divine sir know of me?
Take a look at this for starters.
The blueprint I presented to the Dark Commerce was of Golem D, and this was the problemthe crimson golem I remembered had overflowed with aggression and might which overwhelmed the eyes of the humans that would look up at it. It was armed with a gigantic hammer in its right hand, meant for destroying castle gates, and its left was a drill meant for punching through opposing golems and castle walls.
It had not appeared feeble all over like Golem D, not like games and fun for little girls.
Hmm
Dwarf L began to carefully examine the page of Golem Ds blueprint he had received. And after who knows how long, Dwarf L gave his conclusion in aposed tone.
It is genuine without a doubt. Although I have not examined the entire blueprint, this one page contains the golem designers philosophy and passion, aside from core techniques. Deeply vexing though it may be, he is a golem engineer of more remarkable skill than I am.
Dwarf L uttered his surrender with a ck face, seeming like a child who was down because the y doll his friend made was more marvelous than his.
That so?
And to think, it was said even trash had its uses!
I did not think that this sort of junk doll blueprint, not a super robot blueprint, would be received favorable.
Putting down the blueprint, Dwarf L continued to speak.
I know that I shouldnt be saying such things, but I greatly desire the blueprint of this golem. I firmly wish to refer to it for my new type of golem that I am currently making. I trust that my determination and hope will be clearly made known to the coborator.
After saying as such to the Dark Commerce associate youngdy, he turned around to leave.
I see that you have presented us with an amazing item, dear customer.
The lovely youngdys expression had be serious following her return from sending off Dwarf L outside the pub.
How do you want to go about this?
Since it has been confirmed as genuine, then we will return the favor with trust. We will collect all of the relevant information scattered throughout Fantasias continents, everything starting from the Hero of Origin, to hispanions, lovers, friends, and enemies. We will record down everything without letting go even a single trivial rumor and hand it all to you.
Wonderful.
That was the reply I had wanted; however, the youngdy immediately added a condition to the exchange.
Sir Hero who will take the Ice Princess? I am aware this is disrespectful, but is it possible for you to remain in this vige until all the information you have ordered for has been gathered? If we get to work as quickly as possible by even making use of transfer magic, it will take about half a month. In the meantime, we will provide amodations.
They normally wouldnt hold back a customer like this, but it was apparent they had caught wind of my going off to hunt the Ice Princess. The Dark Commerce was sending a rather courteous and roundabout messagehand over that blueprint before you get murdered by the Ice Princess.
Half a month, huh Fine.
I had decided not to rush in this 6th ythrough. That Demon King Pedonar had still remained alive until now was proof of that!
I should take it easy preparing things.

Nnn Sir Hero, wherere you off to at this time?
The pajama-wearing Lanuvel so asked as she rubbed at her eyes with sleep in them.
Still ying cute even in that muddled state? How truly disgusting.
We had been using separate rooms until now, but never could I have possibly imagined that Lanuvel would go to sleep tightly hugging onto the Sages Staff like it was a doll. Left without a choice, I had had to shake her awake.
Shush! Shut up and sleep some more till morning.
Although I had replied to the Dark Commerce as if I would quietly tour the vige for half a month, I had no obligation to go by those words. Half a month, an excessively long period of timeenough to kill Demon King Pedonar 15 times over.
[?]Bewildered: I think that example is excessively wrong?
Miss Trainee Teacher, it isnt wrong in the least.
Half a month in this fantasy world meant that on Earth, where time flowed 10 times slower than in the dimension of Fantasia, approximately 36 hours would have passed. 36 hours of time I could use to live as a cultured person of the Republic of Korea would be wasted for nothing. There was no way something like this could be tolerated, no?
I want to go together as well.
I had known Lanuvel woulde out like this, which was why I had prepared a reply in advance.
Drinking and adventuring isnt allowed.
Ehh?!
Here, Lanuvel. Blow your breath on my palm.
Huu?
Wearing a confounded expression, Lanuvel yed cute again while blowing a breath as she was told to. Because of that, I almost ended up hurling a p across her cheek.
Be thankful to my patience, Lanuvel.
A blood alcohol level of 0.5%, a serious level. The probability of you causing a nuisance if you were to go out adventuring like this is 99%.
Sir Hero! Lanuvels mind is fine!
A drunkard wont obediently admit that theyre drunk.
Then try testing me.
Lanuvel didnt back off easily today and was instead stubborn.
I asked her a question as I held out two fingers.
Lanuvel. How many fingers do you see?
Heh! Easy. Two.
Its one.
Ehh?! Brothno, Sir Hero! Thats two no matter how you look at it though?!
Just admit it already. Its proof that youre drunk.
Auuh
Lanuvel puffed out her cheeks as she made a vexed look, but then obediently returned to her bed.
Afterwards, I quietly made my way out of Vige Q. My destination was the peak of Snowy Mountain M. Located in that hollow area at the summit was the fortress of the princess who lived in istion due to her uncontroble power.
Well then, shall we go meet that woman who thinks herself the most unfortunate person in the world?
I was going to let her experience real misfortune. Then, she woulde to know how happy she was until now.
And of course, the lesson wouldnte with a fee attached.
I shouldnt only be cursing my 1st ythroughpanions. What a busybody I am myself, really
Chapter 65 - The Ice Princess who was happy
Chapter 65: The Ice Princess who was happy
All kinds of EXP lived hidden on Snowy Mountain M, and this wasnt only referring to monsters. A Magician full of dreams researching diligently for the sake of obtaining eternal life, a lily* knight bent on kidnapping her blood-rted elder sister who had married into the wealthy family next door, a romanticist who set fire to the royal pce the moment he was dumped by his girlfriend People also gave EXP.
(* Note : Lily also means Yuri / lesbian)
However, todays objective was to climb to the summit of Snowy Mountain M the quickest I could and make the Ice Princess submitIf possible, before the sun rose tomorrow.
There was no time idle.
[?]Peek: Are you going to run up the mountain?
I dont use such ignorant methods, Miss Trainee Teacher.
My 1st ythrough experience was vastly extensive. Among those who lived in seclusion with their identities hidden around Snowy Mountain M and its nearby viges, I knew of a fellow I could make use of as a means to fly.
There was a solitary log cabin built a slight distance away from Vige Q. In thewn before it was a flowerbed and a small pond, while in the back garden there were several fruit trees. A hunter youth, who had taken one of those frail Elves as a wife, lived in this shabby home. He never went hunting, however, with the reason being that
?Race: Dragon
?Level: 505
?Job: Hunter(WildlifeHunt)
?Skills: Chill(S) Hunt(A) Tolerance(A) Physical Strength(A) Massacre(B)
?Condition: Mimicry, Sleep
he was azy dragon by nature. But this wasnt necessarily a bad thingif all dragons diligently pursued the path of the mighty, as Oblivion King Noebius had, then the continents of Fantasia would have long fallen to ruin.
The same went for the Elf, who was sharing the bed with the human-transformed dragonif the average breast size of an Elf wasnt that of the Sahara, but of the Rockies, then the leading race of Fantasias continents would have been the Elves and not the humans.
And that wasnt simply a hypothesis. The Elves, who had a basic lifespan of 5000 years and anti-aging as a passive ability, would have wet dreams and menstruations almost until the day they died. Imagine them being able to pop out babies one after another on top of all that.
Humans wouldnt even be a match when it came to reproductive ability.
Hmm maybe this isnt just a breast problem?
During the past 11 years, I had seen a great many Elf women who had settled down with members of other races like this dragons wife here. Undaunted by their disadvantaged physique which had nothing going it apart from prolonged youth, they were on the considerably proactive side when it came to marriage, childbirth and so on.
In short, the problemy in the feeble male side of the Elves. Perhaps it was premature ejaction, or impotence. But whatever the case, they werent a normal race of people.
Gasp! Who areGueh?!
Feeling the cold wind that entered through the wide open door, the dragon awoke from his sleep, and my hand moved as well; I grabbed hold of his throat without giving him time to even return to his original form.
Master?!
The Elf, who had woken up a beatte, let out an adorable scream. As evident from that manner of address, these two werent in a normal marital rtionshipthe dragon was a pervert who worked his wife like a ve. There wouldnt be the slightest problem even if I attacked him.
Lizard. Transform into your original form already.
O-O human! What have I done toKegh-kegh?!
Listening to me while Im talking foul will be better for your wife as well. Ive given you a clear warning now, you hear?
Very well.
Dragged outside the log cabin by the throat, the dragon returned to how he originally appeared.
sh-!
From a small human to a huge flying lizard.
His hide was on the thick side so that he could live in cold alpine regions, and his scales were a fine white color that were good for camouging into the environment. Furthermore, in exchange for his wings being short so as to better resist heavy snowfall and blizzards, he had three pairs of them.
His body wasnt of arge size, however;pared to my dearpanion, Oblivion Dragon King Noebius, he was extremely small like a iguana lying t before a tyrannosaur.
Its a dragon!
Gasp! A dragon appeared!
Could that white dragon be!
Quickly wake up the heroes!
Nevertheless, I mused that a dragon was a dragon, after all, as the residents of Vige Q began to kick up a big fuss upon sighting the tiny dragon that had suddenly appeared nearby. But I could understand their feelings a little, at least, because dragons were known as the strongest creatures from a fantasy world perspectiveeven if it were a mere Level of 505.
This was because when it came to the race of dragons, the way Level calction worked would be different. Although the margin of error was quiterge depending on Skill set and rank, multiplying their Level by 3 would equal that of a human. In other words, whether it be a Hero or brave warrior, you would have to be Level 1515 in order to defeat a Level 505 dragon all by yourself.
Real easy isnt it, Miss Trainee Teacher?
[?]Suggestion: Student Kang Han Soo, it would be even easier to achieve victory by working together with trustworthypanions.
Far from being of help, those bastards from back then were nothing but hindrances, dreams who uttered rubbish about protecting dragons just because they were few in number. And what was even funnier than this? They abided by a shockingw of equal exchange, killing one dragon to save one woman when they felt like it.
There had been no consistency to their actions and arguments.
Quuuuuuu!
The white dragon stretched his maw open and let loose a roar, and then began to gather cold air between his jawsit was dragonbreath. If unleashed, this entire area would be frozen over. In terms of pure strength, he was far superior whether it be in power or scopepared to the Ice Princess going out of control.
Before the dragonbreath came bursting forth, however, I exploded withughter first.
Hahah! That repertoire of yours is no different from the 1st ythrough.
Although I had no intention of just letting him escape to the sky, if I were the white dragon, I would have used the time he spent opening his mouth to take air supremacy first.
I was already in front of his face.
Wham!
A Z-rank divine fist that contained Z-rank blessingnded on the dragons lower jaw.
The likes of a dragons racial advantage was easily ignored.
Quuu-?!
Puhwa!
Failing to spit out the breath of cold air held in his mouth, it exploded inside him! And with his tongue hanging out his mouth in an unsightly manner, the white dragons eyes rolled back in his heada temporary loss of consciousness and concussion.
But my attack had yet to end.
[?][?](C)
I erased the dragons memories to the point where he could be easily tamed. Although I could have induced oblivion in him when I had him under control in human form, I had waited as it wouldnt do for him to even forget the way to return to his original form.
And now?
Look into my eyes.
Quuu!
p! Boom! Crunch!
The white dragon iled about his wings, tails and so on; however, as he was alreadypletely under my spell whether it be physically or mentally, his defiant resistance died down in no time.
Lower your head.
Quuu.
The white dragon, who was only left with his instincts and fear towards me, obeyed my order.

The proficiency of my Skills had greatly increased, a growth that was bing of a Hero with a bonus of 500% EXP. Since what I had done was no different than having tamed 5 dragons by ordinary Job standards, I even felt that this degree of growth wascking; however, it was self-evident that my Skills would naturally improve as time went.
I wonder if theyll count this as an achievement, too?
H-heavens
My eyes fell on the Elf, the dragons wife, who had rushed out of the log cabin in a fluster with nothing but a nket over her lingeries. She stared at me sitting on top of the white dragons head like I was a monster.
As greatly irksome though it was
Look, Elf.
Ill do anything so please spare me!
The Elf had be inured to being servile. If left the way she was, then she would no doubt be kidnapped by the Dark Commerce with no one the wiser and go up on auction as merchandise.
Putting things right was my specialty.
Go to the biggest pub in the vige and youll find a shabby-looking girl going by the name of Lanuvel. Ill make it so that you can have a steady job at the Sages Tower, not as a ve like you are now.
I wasnt forced to be his ve!
The Elf thus uttered frustratingly.
And youre not a normal wife either.
Th-thats
Any certainty in that you werent brainwashed through magic? Do you feel no feel nothing out of ce from feeling happy at the life of a ve? What do your family and parents say about you being like this? Whens thest time you met them?
I could tell from personal experience.
Because Saintess H was 100% brainwashed.
Ah
Take a rational look back on yourself and live the right way. Lets go, Baekgu.
Quuuuu-!
p!
After taking a look at his Elf wife with his head tilted, the white dragon then spread wide his three pairs of wings and powerfully took to the sky.
I should collect them by color when theres timeter. Hwanggu, Chunggu, Hukgu, Eungu, Nokgu2
(Note: literally means Gold Dog, Blue Dog, ck Dog, Silver Dog, and Green Dog respectively. Baekgu is White Dog)

On the summit of Snowy Mountain M, there were adventurers, frozen solid, covered by the perpetual snow fall. It would be a very big mistake to think that just because the resident was a beautiful princess, only hot-blooded men would make their way here. When you slowly looked around this ice grave, you would find there were far more women. The frozen women could bergely divided into two groups.
First, the women who had chased after a man who had formed a harem party. The one aiming for the Ice Princess was the man, who was the center of the harem, but when the party became wiped out, the deceased ended up being one man and many women. They died because they had followed after a sex-crazed man.
Second, the women who felt envy and jealousy towards the Ice Princess. If the male who represented the northern continent was the Sage, then the female was the Ice Princess. This was why from the moment women of the northern continent were born, they would bepared to the Ice Princessin talent, looks, lineage, recognition and this was also why there were extremely many women who found the Ice Princess an eyesore.
As for the Sage? He was an Archmage capable of reducing even a country to ashes; thus, there were no idiots who provoked the man. Moreover, because he kept women at a distance without exception, far from envying him, there were an overwhelming number of those who admired his thorough self-management. He was a star of utmost poprity within the northern continent! Although the person in question actually kept himself in check as he didnt want to die from excessive blood loss, he had risen to the ranks of respected great individuals thanks to the masses misunderstanding as they pleased.
[?]Shining Eyes: Theres really nothing that Student Kang Han Soo doesnt know.
This is only standard, Miss Trainee Teacher.
I was qualitatively different from the fantasy world barbarians. I knew very well the importance of information as I had lived in the information society of the beautiful green Earth.
But I didnt consider myself uniquely special for this. Any Earthling who was abducted to an unfamiliar world dominated by violence would have made the same judgements as I had. They would no doubt thoroughly start from gathering information in order to survive the fantasy world natives, who always tried to solve everything with violence, lording it over them.
There was no way I was the only one who did this.
[?]Wince: Th-thats right. Hoho!
When Baekgu and I arrived at the peak of Snowy Mountain M, I found that an intense war of nerves had already been taking ce there.
Leave if you dont want to die!
A beauty, whose body was ideal to be the highest-grade hot water bottle, thus shouted while looking down from the top of a majestic fortress covered by ice and snow. She wore a beautiful outfit that looked like a white wedding dress; however, seeing her wear it in this awful weather where a blizzard was raging, I got the impression that she was more a crazy chick than a pretty one.
And that crazy chick was none other than the Ice Princess.
?Race: Human
?Level: 486
?Job: Princess(National Strength=Charm)
?Skills: Madness(S) Chill(S) mor(A) Survivability(A) Murder(B)
?Condition: Rampage, Sorrow
Her Status was impressive without change like it was in the 1st ythrough. Thebination of S-rank Madness and Chill was a fantastic one, and the amount of EXP she had gathered while killing the adventurers that came over to her was also rather excellent.
I heard a shout in response to the Ice Princess warning sounding from below the fortress wall.
O noble Ice Princess! I ask that you give birth to my child! If you, the supreme beauty of the northern continent, and I, a yer of Orcs, were toe together, a child amazing enough to even take down a dragon will surely be born!
A handsome man, who had brought along a line of pretty youngdies, thus proposed to the Ice Princess while making a strange assertion. The theory of evolution? Creationism? Laws of inheritance? Naturalism?
I wondered to myself: what was his confidence based on?
A dragon, huh Baekgu?
Quuuuuu-!
The white dragon roared amidst the blizzard, and without giving the fools on the ground the time to even be astonished, nketed them with a breath of cold air.
Fwoosh~!
Cr-crack-!
The harem party was wiped out in one go. The fate of the man who had taken the dragonbreath head on went without saying, while the youngdies who were in dressed in pretty short skirts in this cold weather had be nicely frozen as well.
The white dragon didnt even allow a final struggle to the adventurers.
Land on top of the fortress wall.
Quuu.
Boom-
Baekgunded on top of a snow-covered watchtower, gripping it with his sharp talons, and I jumped down to the side of the Ice Princess.
How did you tame a drag- Ah?! Wait a moment! If youe closer, the rampaging chill will-!
The Ice Princess uttered a warning in the midst of nkly looking up at Baekgu, but there was no problem at all.
Shwooo-!
It was because the chill ceaselessly emanating from her body was absorbed into the golden orb at the end of the Sages Staff. Although it wasntpletely absorbed, I felt that the temperature had risen from about minus 50 degrees to minus 10 degrees.
Virgin As words had been rightthe Ice Princess power could be controlled with the Sages Staff.
C-could that staff be?
The sky-blue eyes of the Ice Princess, surprised at this absorption phenomenon, were opened wide. It seemed she recognized the staff, and this was only natural; she, too, was an excellent Magician first, and a princess of a country second. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that none among the outstanding Magicians in the northern continent didnt know of the Sage, including the staff that he always brought with him like it were his lover.
As long as I have that staff, I can control my rampaging powKyah?!
How dare you!
In response to the Ice Princess presumptuously reaching out towards the Sages Staff held in my hand, I gave a hard whack on her head with the staff. An ordinary weapon or magic spell would have be frozen solid before even touching her body, but the Sages Staff wasnt so.
Shwooo-
It sucked in the chill surrounding the Ice Princess like a vacuum cleaner.
How very useful to use as a club.
Hauuuh
Princess who thinks herself the most unfortunate person in the world. Starting from now, youre gonna get a thrashing to the point of sh*tting blood each time you fail to control your power. Ah! And dont worry even if you die. I can have you resurrected 40 times. Any questions?
I was going to teach her what true misfortune was.
Sword King Alex could vouch for that.
Chapter 66 - This Hero’s career record is already…
Chapter 66: This Heros career record is already
[?]Question: Theres the saying that while life is short, misfortune prolongs it. But why does it feel like Im actually experiencing this?
Miss Trainee Teacher sure can ask a philosophical question.
The Ice Princess education progressed very smoothly. Before even a day had passed, which was my goal, she had achieved a perfect growth whether it be physically or mentally. She had immediately realized what a happy andzy life she had been leading until now; theyers of fat that had umted at her chest and buttocks spoke for that.
Now we were at the final inspection stage.
Princess, do you really think you lived alone?
N-not anymore.
Her clothes reduced to rags, the Ice Princess stammered out a reply.
Right. The reason why you could live amidst perpetual snowfall in a ce where not a single leaf of grass grows, Princess, is thanks to somebodys love and help.
A beautiful princess locked away on a tower or a prison would she really be beautiful? There wasnt even the need to bother imagining just what a terrible shape she would end up in without a mere several days of care. She wouldnt be able to even take a bath, let alone care for her looks.
Bathing prevented illness, washed away dead skin, oil and the like, and expanded blood vessels and stimted blood cirction. It was at this time that the toxins in the skin would be flushed out, and thus would bepleted the fair skin which was the necessary condition to being a beauty. In short, hygiene and beauty were directly proportional to each other, and by no means could this be ever achieved while locked away in a tower or prisonmeaning, the beautiful princess imprisoned on a tower in fairy tales had no realism to it.
Think back to the daily supplies youve been granted all this time, Princess.
At the very least, even the toilet papers used to wipe after taking a dump were all products provided from below Snowy Mountain M. While the Ice Princess whose blood was like anti-freezing solution wouldnt freeze to death, even if she were to go nude all day long, that she could wear pretty clothing every day was all thanks to somebodys assistance as well.
The same went for food. Carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins even in this ignorant fantasy world where the concept of nutrition wasnt properly grasped, the importance of the habit of having a varied diet was known. And looking at the Ice Princess figure? It boasted curves that could never have resulted from an unbnced diet.
She was by no means alone, the letters piled up in her cold room further proof of this. These people who had sent the letters held hopes and dreams, that the Ice Princess rampage would one daye to an end.
I became able to control it thanks to you, Sir Hero.
She had died around 10 times before she could control her powerit would have been strange if she couldnt.
?Race: Human
?Level: 286
?Job: Princess(National Strength=Charm)
?Skills: Madness(S) Chill(S) Survivability(S) mor(A) Tolerance(A)
?Condition: Stable, Submission
Although it would have been far easier had I injected my Dark Energy and turned her into a demon worshiper, I had wanted a 100% purity Ice Princess like Virgin A had. Using a cheat key didnt count as conquering, after all; I didnt need an Ice Princess tainted by Dark Energy.
But my attempt was greatly sessful! The Ice Princess had seeded in controlling her power even without the Sages Staff. Since the Saintess who had resurrected the princess over 10 times in the training process was legitimate and not a cheat key, there was no problem there either.
[?]At a Loss: Beating apanion to death is
Miss Trainee Teacher. This was education, you know?
Sword King Alex would vouch for this.
Princess. Well be going down to the vige below the snowy mountain within today, so clean yourself thoroughly and change into clean clothes starting now. After following me down and spending several days at the vige for starters, you do whatever you feel like whether it being back here, or going to your home.
My business with the Ice Princess was finishedI had made an achievement greater than that of Virgin A, who had relied on the Sages Staff. Now my work on reputation would bepleted so long as I went to Vige Q and started a rumor that went Sir Hero Kang Han Soo made the wicked Ice Princess submit!.
What? Werent you going to keep bringing me
Why would I do that?
Increasing the number ofpanions would only end up with them being a nuisance. Even now, I didnt have the slightest issue in defeating Demon King Pedonar, and the Sage had already signed up as apanion; I didnt want to take on any more spongers at this point. The Ice Princess worth onlyy in building my reputation. Just the feat of having made the most famous viiness in the northern continent submit would be tremendous advertisement. What happened afterwards wasnt of my concern.
The Ice Princess washed her body in the hot spring pool in the center of the fortress. Perhaps it was the wisdom of having lived alone? The bathing area was rather well furnished. Although, it was a question why there was a separate changing and bathing area for men in a ce where she lived alone.
After having finished preparations to leave, the Ice Princess had almost nothing on her. A pouch that contained jewels and gold coins was all. Upon casually asking her about this
I intend on buying new things at the vige.
The Ice Princess replied in a tone that had no regrets towards this ce where she had been living. There were bound to be some mementos, yet she had thrown all of them away. She even said the letters that had piled up werent needed as she had memorized the entire contents She was full of the determination to procure daily necessities and food at the local vige, even if only to part with her past.
As for me, I didnt care whichever way.
Then lets going quickly, shall we.
Quuuu!
The obedient Baekgu responded with a rumbling cry as he pped his three pairs of wings. Ah, what a cute fellow he was.
But at that moment, something attacked my pet.
Yaooooong-!
Quu?!
A gigantic pair of jaws had shot out of the snow to swallow Baekgu whole. It wasnt like he was a recently born whelphe was an adult dragon grown up enough to awaken to sexual urges and even have an Elf wifeyet he disappeared in one mouthful.
My first pet
There was a time when I had bought a chick in front of my primary school and momentarily left it at a yground, when a stray cat suddenly pounced over to whisk it awaythe traumatic memory of that slowly began to reemerge in my mind. And of all things, it just had to be a cat this time as well.
Was it a cat?
?Race: Ice Titan
?Level: 999+
?Job: Snow King(ColdDivine Protection)
?Skills: Chill(SSS) Madness(SS) Divine Protection(SS) Sleep(SS) Evil Spirits(SS)
?Condition: Twilight Years, Violent Emotion, Fury
It was a giant with a head which resembled that of a cat, the same type as the catfish giant I had defeated the other day; however, this ones overall Status was overwhelmingly greater. Why had it suddenly appeared out of nowhere? The answer was being told by the golden eyes of the cat giantit was staring at the Ice Princess.
Princess. Whats the rtionship between you two?
Its the white cat that appeared in my dreams at times. But it was neither this big, nor a biped on those asions.
As I thought
I had an 11-year career of Hero-ing; I could even write a novel with a casual nce at the situation.
It was in its twilight years and was furious. This cat giant was on the verge of dying of old age like Oblivion Dragon King Noebius, who was slumbering in some hill over at the middle continent. Furthermore, it had hastily shown itself the moment I had tried to leave Snowy Mountain M with the Ice Princess in tow. I guessed this situation to be either an event or trap that would ur uponying a hand on the princess before the cat giant naturally passed away.
It had the same Skill set, Chill and Madness, as the Ice Princess. While the cat giant far surpassed her in terms of Skill rank, this couldnt possibly be a coincidental match. In the first ce, the Ice Princess wasnt able to control her own power, which was an extremely rare matter in this fantasy world where Skills would be adjusted through the Status; they would be automatically controlled along with the increase of Skill proficiency. The Ice Princess wasnt capable of this, however, as the rampaging power grew worse ording to the Skill rank.
The cause?
So you were behind it.
Most likely, the cat giant in its twilight years had fallen into dementia, which was why it infused its own power into an austere human girl that wasnt even of its own race, and lured her over to Snowy Mountain M.
Thinking over it carefully, there was no need for the Ice Princess, who was of noble status, to have lived the entire time on Snowy Mountain M. If all she wanted was to avoid hurting the people around her, then it would have been possible to find a secluded ce anywhere; a typical example would be the kings personal territory where entry was strictly forbidden. As a wealthy member of royalty who wasnt even andlessmon person, there had been no reason for her to live like prey in a poor environment where it was hard to supply goods. It was the very height of irrational decision-making.
But what if this was all due to somebodys interference?
Yaooong
The cat giant looked at me as it growled. It seemed that I was unmistakably the cause of its fury; although, it wasnt like there was room topromise and make peace, to begin with.
Look here, cat. The price for eating my Baekgu is high, you hear?
Shiing-
I summoned forth Holy Sword 2. It was possible that the Ice Princess would be caught up in our battle, but the cat giant would try its best to noty a hand on her; it definitely thought of her like a granddaughter.
Of course, even in spite of that, I didnt consider using the petty method of taking a hostage. After all, the giant hadnt budged an inch even when the Ice Princess was sh*tting blood in a state of unconsciousness, or when she had died over 10 times in a bloody mess. It had an attitude of being fine with anything so long as she stayed by its side, dead or alive. Or perhaps it wasnt able to perceive that much due to presbyopia
But whatever the case, it didnt matter.
Fwiip-!
The cat giants hand hidden amidst the blizzard came swinging towards meeven a single fingernail of the giant wasrger than my body.
However, I didnt dodge but instead faced it head on.
Be my EXP!
Puhwa-
I coated the powers of Divinity and Dark Energy in Blessing, and fused the two into a whirlwind of chaotic force which I guided to coil around Holy Sword 2. Due to ck-Boxs effect, these two conflicting powers didnt sh. Far from shing, they instead achieved a harmony of ck and while, sublimating into an even more powerful force.
Chaos(E)Chaos(A)
Harmony(F)Harmony(C)
Swordforce(E)Swordforce(D)
The advancement in Skill ranks was a basic bonus, and this was precisely the reason why I had felt no regret even after using all the Skills I had as offerings to reach the transcendental domain. The majority of them, aside from he truly special Skills such as Fortune or Storage, were being remembered by my body and soul; by ruminating on these, the proficiency levels of those Skills would rise in no time.
Skills were nothing but supplements to me.
[?]Pointing Out: Then you should have worked on them a little on a regr basis. Theres even the saying that someone whos prepared enters the fight half victorious, right?
Miss Trainee Teacher. If I prepared myself, the continent would have gone up in mes already.
Even if I were to only carefully flick a finger, all the citizens of a city would be massacred. EXP could be found in all directions around me, yet I wearily let them go. It felt like turning away from bankrolls that had fallen on the ground.
[?]Compromise: Please keep on preparing leisurely like now and enjoy life!
Miss Trainee Teacher caught onto things quickly, as I had thought. If it were Professor Morals
?Warning: Even walls have earsplease be prudent whenever you speak. And Student Kang Han Soo, it is said that a cornered rat will bite the cat. It is possible that you will suffer as well if you be careless.
Oh! Professor Morals, you came out of nowhere again. By the way, whats being careless? Is it edible?
Careless, a word that didnt suit me. The cat giant was already dragging its feet, but I didnt give it any openings to rest or counter-attack with unnecessary conversationI was only carrying out optimal attacks aimed to end the cat giants life. I wouldnt do something like let my guard down.
And my opponent wasnt so weak as to make me careless either.
Rumble!
Avnches andndslides urred everywhere in the surroundings, but the cat giant wasnt so easy to deal with that I could consider such things. Although its Skill ranks were lower than mine, its Level was outrageously high. Moreover, I was too much at a disadvantage in terms of Job.
Snow Kingthis severely cold weather helped the Snow King. Unlike the catfish giant, a Water King who received divine protection in water, this cat giant didnt make the mistake of weakening itself by leaving its own domain.
As for me on the other hand?
I knew Hero is trash.
While the quick growth it granted was good, a fivefold EXP bonus was utterly useless when it came to battle. Nevertheless, the fact that victory was mine remained unchanged.
I overpowered the giant with pure power.
Pffsh-
Holy Sword 2 cut through the cat giants thick neck.
?Smile: I have warned you.
Professor Morals left after leaving words full of meaning. He truly did as he pleased,ing and going.
What a riot. Ive got 11 years of experience in this fantasy world.
I hade too far to be careless.
Purk! Purk! Purk!
I continued to stab the cat giant using Holy Sword 2.
Yaooo~?!
As I had predicted, the giant didnt die even with its head cut off. I had realized it from the point when I didnt gain EXP right away, that there was going to be a round two for the loser in some way. Of course, I had no intention of quietly waiting for it to revive.
Wriggle-wriggle.
The cat giant formed a new head as snow amassed at the severed part of its neck, and
sh-
I immediately cut off its new head again.
It was a typical mistake made by viins, revealing their hard-prepared trap cards with their own mouths, and Professor Morals was no exception to this either.
They say a cat has seven lives. No, was it nine? In any case, Im sure itll die sometime if I keep killing it.
Yaooo-!
And eventually, the cat giant died as it let out a death throe. It was certain this time for sure as I had obtained EXP.
However
Eh?
My body began to freeze over solid.
Crackle-
Heavy rain had fallen on a national-scale the moment I killed the Water King giant, which was why I had predicted that there would be heavy snowfall for ten days after killing the Snow King giant.
But that wasnt the case.
To think that Im the Careless King! What a sh*tty-
I cked out.
*
*
*
Wriggle-
I realized that I was imprisoned within ice. I couldnt twitch a singer finger, but there would be no problems since my consciousness had returned to me like this. In retrospect, cats didnt only have a lot of lives.
And they say youll be cursed if you kill a cat
It was outrageous even when I thought about it again.
However, that was that
Cr-crackCrack!
The curse cast on me as the cat giant died was definitely strong, but the power of a being that had died would weaken as time passed, while in contrast, my power would always remain as it was. Now it was just a matter of time; however, even that didnt take long.
Shatter!
The ice surrounding my body was destroyed.
Damned cat.
Careless or not, it was an inescapable checkmate move, but the silver lining was that I had broken free in no time. If I were weak, I could have been imprisoned forever like the perpetually falling snow
Oh my! Youve finally awoken, Prince.
I heard the Ice Princess voicee from behind me. While it was questionable as to how I had transformed into a prince, seeing as my father was merely the honorary president of a tennis club, it was important to return to Vige Q first. The Dark Commerce had to be eagerly awaiting me.
I had to rush if I wanted to reach the vige without a mount.
Lets go down quickly, Princess.
R-right this instant? I need a moment to prepare
Why prepare agai-
I was struck speechless upon turning my head around to arguethe pitiful-acting princess was gone, and in her ce was a thrifty-looking auntie who seemed like she would never let go of a supermarket coupon or sales event.
Even her outfit had be as in as an aunties.
[?]Reproach: Calling a maiden an auntie
But Miss Trainee Teacher, look I tell you. To treat her as a lovely princess now, shes too ol- Mm? Hang on.
How long was I frozen for?
6 years.
Sleeping prince within the mountain, Kang Han Soo
Woken up after 6 years.
Chapter 67 - Dreams★ will come true
Chapter 67: Dreams wille true
I had been regting my Level ever since I came to know of the Demon Kings penalty. I had certainty that if I raised my Level adequately high to around about Level 500, I would be matchless in these fantasy continents.
But that had been a huge miscalction.
A hidden boss monster that came close to being as strong as the Five Disasters had existed. As it had entered its twilight years like Oblivion Dragon King Noebius, it would die if not found quickly, and this was why I wasnt able toe across the cat giant in the 1st ythrough.
I was done in good. In particr, the curse it cast as it died was huge.
[?]Peek: Did you sleep well?
You should have woken me up if you knew, Miss Trainee Teacher.
[?]Grumble: Youd be surprised if you knew how many times I tried. I thought you were never going to wake up.
Or so she said. Seeing as how my carelessness had brought about this oue, I couldnt say anything myself.
But even I wasnt able to predict things this far. Would it have been even possible to imagine something like this? First it was travelling back to the past by the tyranny of a transcendental being, and now time was fast forwarded to the future. And it wasnt just one or two days, but a whole 6 years! In terms of Earth time, that was almost 7 months flown by. I had lost that much time to live as a cultured citizen and to be a good son to my parents.
What an iparable tragedy it was. Summing up the things I had heard at the time of the Hero Festival, it seemed that the other students defeated the Demon King and graduated after an average of 4 years.
But as for me?
17 years
I would end up on my 18th year if I kept hanging around like this. I looked like the time I spent in this fantasy world was going to be far longer than the time I spent on Earth growing up after being born.
The mere thought of it was horrifying.
Prince.
Just call me Hero. Whats with the prince nonsense all of a sudden?
The Ice Princess replied calmly in response to my rebuke.
That Dont be surprised when you hear this.
Please do try and surprise me.
It had felt like I had merely closed my eyes for a moment before opening them again, yet I was told that 6 years had passedI didnt think there could be anything more surprising than this.
Thends below the mountain are currently in an uproar from war. Due to the kingdoms that put forward powerful golems starting wars all at once, the entirety of Fantasias continents are in a state of devastation.
The entirety?
Yes. They are all in the midst of waging war, apart from the southern continent which is farthest from the northern continent, which was the starting point of everything. Ah! But the northern continent is still on the quieter side. The nearby countries are all lying low due to Lord Sage and Lady Goddess winning victory after victory, you see.
Things had deviated greatly from the history I knew.
And whos this Goddess?
Shes Lord Sages exclusive golem. Shes the size of human unlike other golems, but herbat ability goes beyond imagination. From what I hear, shes apparently an Ego-Golem with the soul of an ancient Hero.
Huh
It was a scenario I had seening to a certain extent, going by my 1st ythrough experience, so I wasnt surprisedI merely felt my head virtually steaming.
I proceeded to take a look at the Ice Princess Status.
?Race: Ice Human
?Level: 573
?Job: Snow Queen(ColdDivine Protection)
?Skills: Chill(SS) Madness(SS) mor(SS) Divine Protection(S) Tolerance(S)
?Condition: Jubtion
Her Skills were too awe-inspiring to simply say that she hadnt been ying around for the past 6 years. Wasnt her rate of growth too fast even though she wasnt a Hero?
Noticing my gaze, the Ice Princess shyly made to speak.
A part of that white cats power was transferred to me.
It had be hard to call her the Ice Princess any longer; her race had changed and her Job had be Snow Queen as well. Even her Level was absurdly high for human standards. Since it was rtively low inparison to her Skill ranks, however, she would be able to easily achieve Level 999 if she put in a bit of effort to go hunting around Snowy Mountain M.
And my situation wasnt much different from hers either.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Blessing(Z) Dark Energy(SSS) Fabrication(SS) Chill(SS)
?Condition: Thawing, Holy Sword, Saintess
Although there had been no change to my race and Job, Chill(SS) had been added to my Skills. Aside from this, various other Skills had appeared or improved as well. But I wasnt delighted in the least, as a whole 6 years had passed, after all. My Status would have be even more magnificent had I spent that time well. The loss Id suffered time-wise wasnt just a little.
In any case
Lets go down the mountain first. Follow me.
If I felt the test paper looked horrible, then I just had to go take down Demon King Pedonar right away. Going over to the middle continent would be work in of itself, but it would be better than holding on to a ruined test paper. And as I thought of the situation in this manner, my heart grew easy. Peacefu
Then lets ride this over, Prince.
Are you looking for another beating? How am I supposed to know what this is?
I, Im sorry. Ahem-hem. Then Ill introduce it! My exclusive golem, ssiora! The master of icemands you! Awaken! ssiora!
Rumble!
A giant that had been buried beneath the snow stood up, and I couldnt help but express admiration at that impactful performance.
Ohh! But
The bigger the expectation, the greater the disappointmentI felt like an idiot for momentarily holding expectation at the sight of the golems huge size. It was a simple issue when you thought about what busybodies would gift a golem to the Ice Princess, who had confined herself to the mountain until she became an auntie. The Sage, and the muppet. It could only be these two.
Isnt it wonderful? As an expression of gratitude for having his fatal illness, which no one knew about, cured thanks to you, Lord Sage specially made it for me.
Why express gratitude to you, Princess?
Wh-who knows. Hoho!
Its strange no matter how I look at it Well, anyhow.
The Ice Princess exclusive golem, Golem G, was a far cry from the image of the super robot Id dreamed about. From the perspective of an Earthling, it resembled that of a slightly chubby Venus de Milo; it was a stretch to look for toughness and impact in this. Besides that, its body was naked without a single piece of armor. While it might be unnecessary as its skin was made of sturdy metal itself, appearances were important. If not for the spear held in Golem Gs right hand, I wouldnt have thought that it meant for battle at all.
Quickly get on, Prince.
Right.
I followed the Ice Princess and climbed atop the golems left palm.
Lets go! ssiora!
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Golem G lightly stepped across the snow, unbingly of its size and weight, as it ran down Snowy Mountain M.
KuKu?!
Ow Ow uuu?!
Trooog?!
St! Crunch! Crack!
The golem trampled over and past the monsters we encountered on the way as if ignoring them. The monsters inhabiting Snowy Mountain M were infamous for their viciousness and high Levels, but they were no different from wild rabbits before the automaton.
This was a new generation golem. Itsbat ability had already far surpassed the existing norm in this fantasy worldanything below Level 200 was now nothing but small fry. Although, this had to be why even the paradigm of war changed.
We had descended about halfway down the mountain like this when the Ice Princess, who had surreptitiously hugged onto my arm, whispered a warning.
We have to be careful from here on. My golem is made for mountainous regions with a high power output, which is why it was able to climb to the peak this mountain, but its difficult for ordinary golems to do the same. Thats why my enemies lie in hiding in this lower area until Ie down. While a null detection magic formation is installed Hey, Prince? Are you listening?
Uh-huh, yeah.
I felt as if nothing mattered. I had no interest in the likes of a fantasy world without super robots.
But it was at that time that
Pwoof! Pwoof! Pwoof!
A mound covered in snow copsed to reveal three golems that jumped out.
Crimson golems
I could tell at a single nce just by their color that they were the popr golems sold by the Dark Commerce; however, they appeared quite different from how I remembered themwhere had the muscr frame gone to? And I couldnt see that left-handed drill, the mere sound of which had made my heart race, either. Although it wasnt as bad as Golem G, the appearances of these golems were unsatisfying as well.
Theyre hostile nation golems!
The Ice Princess began to quickly exin things, about their capability being that, their name being this, their weaknesses being so and so however, none of it entered my ears. I could see nothing but the feeble-looking bodies of the crimson golems.
Dark Commerce, even you lot
What was the cause that had lead to this travesty of a future? But as I carefully thought over it, I soon came to a realization.
It was me!
I was the main culprit!
I had shown the first page of Golem Ds blueprint to that chief engineer, and that Dwarf must have been unnecessarily influenced at that time. Although these crimson golems possessed slightly superior capabilitiespared to the ones I knew of in the 1st ythrough, our side was far more overwhelming than that.
Crash! Boom!
The three crimson golems were helplessly destroyed by the sweeping spear strike of the Ice Princess white golem.
Save mUargh!
Kugh!
Requesting suppKyah?!
The three Magicians who had been hiding nearby and controlling the crimson golems were also dealt with, and then the Ice Princess proceeded to calmly speak.
Ill continue onwards, Prince. The enemy will gather in even greater numbers than just now, since they must have already been informed of your awakening. They wille at us madly to stop you from reaching the Sages Tower however they can. Though if you hadnt pressed me, Prince, I would have requested reinforcements from the Sages Tower
What is up with you calling me prince over and over since a while ago?
I had already finished making a decision in my heart. The 6th ythrough waspletely ruined along with my falling into hibernationit would be more beneficial for my mental health to move on to the 7th ythrough.
The Ice Princess began to reply to my question.
At present, the crimson golems of the Dark Commernce are conquering the continents of Fantasia. As they had been monopolizing the main materials for golems since long ago, there was no way to oppose them after they tilted the scales of war in their favor.
Apparently, the Dark Commerce had sold their golems at an affordable price at first; however, this changed after all the small golem makingpanies and factories shut down, and the true worth of golems was proved on the battlefields. The Dark Commerce raised the price of their golems, and outright cut off golem supply to countries that opposed them. When this happened, the country denied of golems would be miserably trampled over by the golems of some other country and end up in ruins.
This was the kind of vicious cycle that kept repeating.
The countries that began to struggle from debt, one after another, started conceding many things to the Dark Commerce: mines,nds, authority, ports, travel routes,mercial rights They began to sell their citizens like ves, while the king of a certain country had actually sent his beautiful daughter to be married off to the officer of the Dark Commerce. But these countries couldnt stop what they were doing, because they would perish if they did.
The former leading power of the northern continent, the Magic Kingdom, is already as good as ruined. This is none other than the country that sold its beautiful princess to the Dark Commerce, after all. That was the day the Sages Tower dered independence and began to strike back.
The blue golems produced at the Sages Tower were powerful; however, power alone wasnt enough.
A pivotal figure was necessary.
But why a prince?
Thats the only way to appear impressive, dont you think? The son of a certain noble bloodline, as well as a chosen Hero. The story goes that the king is missing, so youre essentially the king himself, Prince. An exclusive golem for you has been prepared for your arrival at the Sages Tower as well. ording to Lord Sage, its capable of even destroying the world.
Oh Ill bet.
Laughter escaped my lips despite myself.
I had been used for politics in the 6 years I was asleep, while my father who was living just fine on Earth was treated as gone missing without exnation It was all so outrageous that I couldnt even muster irritation.
The world had certainly be one big mess. The topography of thends had greatly changed from what I remembered, while the area formerly upied by Vige Q had turned into ruins. This was how the war of golems was like. Because each and every one of them wererge and powerful, regardless of who won or who lost, the nearby terrain would be utterly devastated.
[?]Addition: They say when elephants fight, its the grass that suffers.
Right you are, Miss Trainee Teacher. Though the problem is that the grass in this case is all the human settlements of the continents.
*
*
*
We moved towards the Sages Tower while being obstructed by the Dark Commerces crimson golems all the way. I saw nothing but miserable sights wherever I turned my head to, and yet this northern continent was supposed to be the most peaceful region?
This ythrough is all gone wrong
Truthfully, this wasnt my fault. It was a situation brought about because of a wicked cat that ate my pet caused me to sleep for a whole 6 years. Aggrieving though it was, I intended on quickly moving on to the 7th ythrough.
[?]Curious: I see that youre not going off to defeat the Demon King right away?
Dont misunderstand, Miss Trainee Teacher. Im only going to take a look at that exclusive golem theyve apparently prepared for me before setting off.
Far off in the distance, I saw the Sage and the muppet dressed up in splendid clothes. At their sides were my shabby sister who hadnt aged a single bit despite the passage of 6 years, Baekgu(dead)s wife, and Golem D.
The Sage represented the group in greeting me dly.
Haha! Sir Hero! Its relief that youre safKegh-kegh?!
I, too, greeted the Sage dly as I shook him by the throat.
You, punk ass. I told you to stop the Dark Commerce, but what did you do during this time?
Kegh-kegh! I waste in doing so as I was making the golem you ordered, Sir Hero. There were so many things that you ordered that nothing was easy, from procuring the materials to the manufacturing process, but I finallypleted it together with that fellow. Now! Have a look!
ck! ck! ck! ck! ck!
Five golems dashed out from within the Sages Tower. Following the design I had ordered, their arms were equipped with a drill and a cannon, while their feet were geared with wheels like roller des.
But that was all.
Sage, did you neglect the continent till it ended up a wastnd just to make this? Youve got a death wish, dont you? Thats how it is, right?
Kegh-kegh! Sir Hero! Thats still not everything! Take another look!
Puhwaa-!
Puhwahwa-!
The five golems flew up into the sky, propelled by the boosters on their backs spitting mes, then began to transform andbine. Torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, right legthey respectively transformed into five different parts and came together.
nk, nk, nk-
Five golems as one!
Its weight alone was five times more than the regr golem, and there was something to the imposing figure it struck that overwhelmed my heart.
A super robot
This was my exclusive golem.
Is it to your liking, Sir Hero?
My clever friend! Leave the rest to this Hero here, yours truly!
Ill protect the peace of the 6th ythrough!
[?]Bewildered: Uh, Student Kang Han Soo? What about the 7th ythrough?
Tell it to wait in transit.
Chapter 68 - Captain Fantasy
Chapter 68: Captain Fantasy
Great Sir Hero, the five golems respectively possess the same attributes as the five Elementals of wind, fire, wind, water, and heart, and the weaknesses of each element disappears upon theirbining together and thus they be immune to magic attacks. In addition, the magic cannon of different elements can be used efficiently ording to the situation. Isnt it amazing?
So the Sage exined.
Five elements, huh
Indeed.
Divinity and Dark Energy are missing.
I am ashamed to say that I failed in including those two elements. The indiscriminately raging power of Dark Energy was too difficult to refine, while there was outright no way at all of procuring the Divinity of angels whose very existence is uncertain.
That so?
I couldnt helpughing despite myselfno way of procuring Divinity? The moment I received possession of the super robot from the Sage, I bestowed upon it the powers of Divinity and Blessing to the utmost.
sh!
?Race: Elemental Golem
?Level: 900
?Job: Guardian(ProtectDamage Suffered)
?Skills: Physical Strength(SS) Endurance(S) Divinity(S) Protect(S) me(S)
?Condition: Torso, Union, Blessed
The five golems that absorbed the power of Divinity each experienced growth, which was why the Status of the super robot that had finished transforming andbining underwent simr improvements.
?Race: Ultra Golem
?Level: 999+
?Job: Guardian Deity(ProtectDivine Protection)
?Skills: Physical Strength(SSS) Endurance(SS) Divinity(SS) Immunity(SS) Protect(SS)
?Condition: Union, Blessed
Although it would have been even better if I could add Dark Energy on top of all this, I wasnt able to do so as it failed to achieve harmony and instead caused a bacsh. Nevertheless, I wasnt greatly disappointed since I felt its current Status was already enough to thrash everything except for Demon King Pedonar.
The Sage spoke in a warning tone.
The capability of this golem is superior to the point of being unprecedented throughout the entire history of Fantasia, but it consumes that much mana. Even for you, Great Sir Hero
Sage.
Yes.
The Heros mana is infinite. Bear that in heart.
Keh! Isnt that outrageous?!
You think Im a Hero for nothing? Watch closely.
The Skill Infinite which I had obtained through Saintess H in the Hero Festival, had the effect of preventing the fall of Skill ranks. Divinity, Dark Energy, Stamina, Magic Power, Vigor, Inner Strength these types of power source Skills would fall in rank if the user didnt rest after expending all avable power; however, I waspletely freed of this restraint.
Shwooo-
I poured out all the mana I possessed.
Magic Power(E)Magic Power(C)
The tiny bit of magic power, which I had obtained upon defeating the cat giant, quickly developed as I recharged the golems power source. Due to the strongest five golems specially made by the two geniusesbining together, the power they required was five times more as well! The total energy required was fifty times the average golem, which was why the amount of mana being drained out of me was tremendous. An ordinary Magician would have be crippled from the depletion of mana at this point, but that didnt matter to me.
I didnt know how to use magic nor sorcery, yet only my Magic Power rank continued to shoot up, and thus the amount of mana I could supply at once improved a great deal along with the rise in rank. Even if my mana was infinite, there was a limit to the amount that could be squeezed out per second, after all, and it was that maximum amount that had increased.
My god
The Sage, who could be said to have received the blessing of mana without exaggeration, understood what had urred upon seeing it with the naked eye, and was deeply moved to the point of trembling; however, not everyone was surprised. I called out to my shabby little sister, who was merely wearing a puzzled look despite being a Magician as well.
Lanuvel.
Yes, Prince!
Just call me Hero. And dont y cute.
Sir Hero! Lanuvel is naturally like this Im telling you!
I ignored the likes of her worthless excuse and continued speaking.
What happened to the information I made a trade for recen6 years ago with the Dark Commerce regarding the Hero of Origin?
Although the trade did fall apart with me being frozen over by the cats curse, the Dark Commerce who had wanted Golem Ds blueprint wouldnt have given up easily. They must have gathered and stored that information I requested for somewhere.
Eh I mean
Lanuvel doesnt know at all.
Well isnt that something to be proud of!
I had done well to not expect anything from Lanuvel in the first ce.
Magic Power(C)Magic Power(A)
By the time the super robots huge mana tank had be filled, my Skill Magic Power had grown to A-rank. It was necessary to first consume more Magic Power in order to raise it further; in other words, it was time to put the golem into action.
Lets go! Captain Fantasy!
[?]Goosebumps: I did guess it when you called a lovely Saintess Rice Cake, but that tacky name is a bit
Tsk-tsk! Miss Trainee Teacher doesnt know of romance.
The name of a super robot was better the more intuitive it was as it would have more impact. We were going to dominate the peace of the 6th ythroughwith overwhelming power!
BoomBoomBoom
Captain Fantasy ran powerfully towards where the crimson golems were gathered. Although there were numerous boosters attached to its back, I saved them for the aerial battles that might urter on.
The cluster of crimson golems were of various countries; however, there was no need to go so far as to distinguish them since they were all as good as henchmen of the Dark Commerce.
Theyre all bastards to be killed anyhow
The Dark Commerce had been attacking the Sages Tower, the biggest hindrance to their monopolizing the golem market, for 2 years now, mobilizing all the countries in the northern continent; however, they had failed to cause the downfall of the tower. In exchange, by surrounding and cutting off the Sages Tower in three directions, with the exception of the path leading towards Snowy Mountain M, they had seeded in shutting out the sales of blue golems and the material supply line for themuntil today.
The ce I hade to was one of the outposts of the encirclement.
Gasp! What the hell is that?!
Isnt it enormous?!
A monster has appeared from the Sages Tower-!
The northern continent allied forces were shocked upon seeing my super robot.
An excellent reaction.
This was the sound and smell of the battlefield. The view of the ground below I got from sitting on top of a golem at least two times taller than the crimson golems of feeble design was truly beautiful. And it was going to get even more beautiful.
Whiiiing-
The drills that were equipped in various spots of my golems body like spikes began to rotate.
Destroy them all! Captain Fantasy!
[?]Blush: That name is Uuh
My super robot charged towards the heart of the enemy camp, like an adult cutting through kindergartners bunched up before a TV. But it didnt act kindly like you would treat a child.
Crash! Bam! Pzt! Boom!
Every crimson golem that came into contact with Captain Fantasys drills were shred apart one after another, and it wasnt just the golems being wrecked; the Magicians, engineers, merchants and so on who were leisurely resting in the tents set up across the outpost were shredded along with the golems.
Fight back!
The enemy is alone!
Do not be frightened!
The allied forces had received a heavy blow due to my surprise attack, but the number of crimson golems surrounding the Sages Tower was still many. 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 the quickly amassed crimson golems rushed to attack me as one; however, I felt their efforts merely amusing.
sh! Krrr-!
sh! Pzt-!
Captain Fantasy ignored and deflected all ordinary damage through Divinitys S-rank and SS-rank effects. In order to deal even the slightest damage to the golems hard exterior, you would have to attack using a special equipment infused with Dark Energy or Divinity. Otherwise?
You would end up self-destructing like this.
Boom! Crash! Clunk!
All of the golems that collided into Captain Fantasys legs toppled over with the momentum they were charging over with.
Hahah! Fire all cannons!
Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!
The five different element magic cannons, which the Sage had told me about, fired simultaneously, and the projectiles exploded gloriously in the center of the enemy line. Although the mana tank was depleted in proportion to the degree of that explosion, it was a wee thing for me.
Magic Power(A)Magic Power(S)
My Magic Power proficiency had suddenly skyrocketed in the process of recharging the mana tank. The enemy, however, didnt know this.
Do not ever retreat!
His mana cant be infinite!
Calm down! Go for a battle of attrition!
The northern continent allied forces ceaselessly sent in their fighters, putting out everything they had without rest with the hope that I would be exhausted at some point. But it was toote by the time they eventually realized something was strangethe amount of forces they had expended was already too much.
This was a trait of the Dark Commerce. When there was no achievement, they would either make investments again or even take illegal measures until they saw benefit in the end; thus, the allied forces didnt surrender.
They couldnt stop the battle.
Massacre(S)Massacre(SSS)
Magic Power(S)Magic Power(SS)
Subjugation(F)Subjugation(SS)
Until the entire forces of the crimson golems scattered across the northern continent was spent. And of course, Captain Fantasy remained in good shape.
*
*
*
Thus the curtains fell over the battle that was embarrassing to even be called a battle. The other continents were in the midst of fierce fighting, as ever, but the northern continent had entered the clean-up stage.
Almost all of the kingdoms sent had their intention to surrender, but I didnt ept.
[?]Perplexed: Why?
Well arent you asking a strange question, Miss Trainee Teacher.
At present, the state of the northern continents political and economical health was no different than hell on earth, and this was because all the countries had imposed an astronomical tax on their citizens after owing debts to the Dark Commerce. The people of those countriesmitted all kinds of deeds due to the issue of money; murder, plunder, prostitution, ckmail, abduction
And I was to forgive the ones who had caused all this?
Out of the question. Off with their heads, the lot of them.
Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!
As I went around the territories, cities, viges and so on that were scattered about the northern continent, I publicly executed all those of the royalty, nobles, and Dark Commerce associates. Men, women, children, elderly, rtives, neighbors I made no exceptions if they were rted in the slightest. Some among them cried out that they were being wronged, and some even begged to at least have their innocent wives and young children to be spared.
But I turned down all of their appeals. It was obvious they would be beaten to death by the enraged citizens even if they were spared from the execution, after all, and the only thing that would await the spared women would be a horrible experience on top of death. And it was even more impossible for me to take responsibility and protect them.
All hail Prince Hantsoo!
Thank you, Sir Hero!
Sob-sob! Thank you.
The countless citizens who watched the executions would praise me while shedding tears and dripping snot. While it was good that my reputation was rising, I didnt feel happy.
It felt like I had be the king of beggars.
Ill leave the rest to you, Sage.
So I decided to entrust matters to the SageI wanted to take action with the super robot, not to rebuild the destroyed countries, cities, viges and so on.
The Sage replied in a gant manner.
Haha! Dont worry. Our heavenlydy goddess is taking good care of things. As a former Hero, she is valiant on the battlefield, but she is also extremely skilled in dealing with quiet paperwork. Of course, in the bed toAugh!
You and your wagging tongue
The Sage staggered weakly from being elbowed in the side by Golem D, but on his lips was a broad smile. Surprisingly enough, he didnt get a nosebleed. Was it that a golem was fine even if it was a beautiful female? I simply couldntprehend the criterion.
But in any case, it was as the Sage had boasted. Golem D was extremely good at things such as paperwork as she didnt feel physical or mental fatigue in the least. I could sense the weariness of Holy Sword 3s soul contained in the golem, but filled by the righteous desire to save the suffering northern continent citizens, she didnt utter a single word ofint despite the harshbor.
[?]Gratified: Theyre a couple that strangely suit each other well.
I felt it was strange from the moment Holy Sword 3 had suggested to ept the Sage as apanion. A beautiful and noble Hero while alive?
It turned out she was nothing but an old maid starved for a man.
[?]At a Loss: You dont have to go that far
Even the Ice Princess, who had yed an active role in her own way out of sight, was being called crown princess or Sir Heros wife by others before I knew it.
This hussys fabricating things and inciting the people
She was trying to turn a fine bachelor into a married man. I had intended on kicking her ass for the crime of being detestable, yet I couldnt find even her shadowshe was no doubt freezing people again somewhere.
And thus I continued to settle things in the northern continent, making my way to the core of the Dark Commerce who had led this war!
RumbleBoom-boom!
A mass of Dark Energy abruptly attacked my five golems like a lightning strike.
Captain Fantasy~?!
Pow! Bang! Boom!
My super robot that I took pride in disintegrated in mid air like a firecracker. Had I been conceited, perhaps? This tragic event had resulted from boldly transforming andbining before the enemies eyes.
A wave of dizziness washed over me.
How could you attack while it wasbining!
You cowardly bastard that doesnt know romance! Show yourself this instant!
Hmph! I do what IKyah?!
Pft-hahaha!
It turned out not to be a cowardly bastard, but a shrew instead; however, the amount of Dark Energy she possessed wasnt ordinary. In fact, it was gradually increasing.
This is above SSS-rank, isnt it?
sh-!
I had shot divine lightning without hesitation to split apart the shrews pretty little head.
Mm? Maybe her heads harder than I thought.
You cowardly bastard! How could you attack while Im transforming!
Hmph! I do what I want!
[?]Bewildered: A cowardly couple that strangely suit each other
And thus our fateful meeting began in a cowardly manner.
Hunnybuttachips : Id like to apologize for mycking range of onomatopoeias.
Chapter 69 - You mustn’t seek encounters! ?
Chapter 69: You mustnt seek encounters! ?
Was there a monster like this at the Dark Commerce? While I hadnt put in my all behind it, the previous blow I dealt had carried enough force to send Demon King Pedonar to the other world in one gosimply because it was divine. And yet
?Race: Second Demon
?Level: 999+
?Job: Queen(CharmRule)
?Skills: Dark Energy(Z) Vigor(Z) Immortality(Z) Charm(Z) Fortitude(SSS)
?Condition: Rage, Demon Sword
My opponent was even more formidable. Four transcendental domain Skills? Was this a joke?
The demon proceeded to speak.
I did guess it from the time you went on a killing spree against your own race, but you arent like a Hero at all. What rock did you crawl out from under, you phoney angel?
From Earth!
I leaped forward for the second time as I retorted; this time I attempted closebat since my ranged attack, which was meant to split apart the female demons skull, had failed. I immediately summoned Holy Sword 2, and strengthened my body with its amplification effect as well as Blessing.
Fwooosh~!
A whirlwindbined with Divinity and Dark Energy coiled around Holy Sword 2, and added to this was the amplification effect of countless Skills and Blessingit was the strongest attack I could currently manage to pull off.
The same power as the Hero of Origin?
The female demonposedly summoned her Demon Sword, but I wondered to myself: could that thing be called a sword? Instead of a de made of metal, a violet body of light shot out from the hilt. That is to say, that thing was
A lightsaber in a fantasy world?!
It had utterly transcended genre.
Why? Is there a rule that says you cant use one? In the first ce, I dont want to hear such words from a human whos fascinated in ying with childish robots, yeah?
Dont condemn a mans romance!
Transformation andbination super robots were justice!
Pzzzt-
A circr wave of impact urred as Holy Sword 2 and the Demon Sword shed. The atmosphere was naturally affected, and even the earth surged like waves and destroyed everything that came into contact.
Uaargh~?!
S-save me~?!
Kyaah~?!
The small-timers of the Dark Commerce caught up in this wereunched flying away. While they were highest ranking officers who held influence over Fantasias northern continent, they were no different than scum from the moment they became embroiled in the fight between the female demon and me. This showed what a different league this battle was.
Kugh?!
Pft-hahaha!
Although I lost out in terms of the number of Skills that had reached the transcendental domain, I was surprisingly able to eke out a tie; it was thanks to Divinity being fatal to demons.
The female demon shouted while quivering in anger.
Cowardly phoney bastard!
Dontpare me to those cowardly angels!
Those birdbrains were nothing but good Divinity supplies.
The terrain of the continent overturned all over the ce each time Holy Sword 2 and the Demon Sword shed. Landslides and earthquakes constantly urred, and even thunder and lightning began to rage apanied by a storm. And our clothing disappeared one by one as they were hacked to pieces.
Cowardly bastard! You aimed for my clothes on purpose, didnt you?!
Yelling prudishly, the female demons kicknded on my shin.
Kurgh?! Cowardly shrew! How could you distract my eyes with those unnecessarilyrge tits!
A sexually harassing Hero?!
Hah! What sort of talk is that in a fantasy world!
That lightsaber was one thing, but this female demon had a strangely good sense about her. It was the same just a moment agothis was the first time I had ever heard the term sexual harassment in my 11 to 17 years in this fantasy world. Just what was this demons identity?
Herbat ability had already far surpassed that of the Demon King, and her race was second demon. This being the case, could it be that she was the daughter of the first demon, Demon King pedonar? Or was it that she was the second demon to be naturally born?
But whatever the case, it was certain that she was strong. I would have been in no small degree of danger if I hadnt been able to take the upper hand with Divinity which was fatal to demons. By no means did this mean that my situation was better, however; the female demons two Z-rank Skills, Immortality and Vigor, raised her lifeforce and defensive ability to the extreme, and so I couldnt see a way to defeat her.
This called for drastic measures, and so
Kyah?!
I pulled on the female demons long hair that reached the small of her back.
Good!
Dirty asshole!
It didnt matter what she said; after pulling on her straight long hair and breaking her bnce, I used Holy Sword 2 to stab her ches
Boing!
The de was bounced off by her breasts sticity.
Dishonorable shrew! How could you make use of sexual discrimination!
How the hell do you see it that way-?!
In any case, the female demon was also granted an opportunity as my decisive blow failed; she didnt lose this opening and thrust her lightsaber over at mebut I had expected this much at least. I hurriedly pulled back Holy Sword 2, which was bounced off by her outrageous breasts, and blocked the violet lightsaber. No, I was supposed to have blocked it.
FwipThwack!
The body of the lightsaber suddenly disappeared, and because of that the de of my Holy Sword 2 which had lost its target struck hard against the female demons left shoulder, and at the same time
VwiingPaf!
After she received Holy Sword 2 with her shoulder, she once again summoned the de of the lightsaber and mercilessly shed sideways across my waist.
Splurt-
Considerably deeply.
Kugh-!?
I had thought my innards were going to spill out from my shed belly. Although the injury healed immediately, it wasnt an easy thing to take back a momentum that was lost once. We had both exchanged blows, but the loss I suffered was far greater.
Srrr-
And this was because the recovery ability of the female demon, who had raised Immortality to the transcendental domain, was at a ridiculous level. Forget her shoulder being cut through by Holy Sword 2, it pushed the de back instead, following which the wound on her shoulder shot out thorn-like crimson blood at me.
Purk! Purk! Purk!
They stabbed into my left chest region in rapid session.
Cowardly bastard, now its over for you too!
The female demon thus triumphantly cried out after attacking using her Skill Vigor.
As she said, I was indeed in a truly dangerous situation. Those thorns would have prated through to my heart if I hadnt utilized Master Mongs teachings to thicken the skin around my chest; however, that was that. I didnt want to hear it was the end for me from a pervert woman acting conceited in the nude.
Who says its the end!
I gathered divine energy at my forehead andunched a headbutt with all my might.
Kya?!
It wasnt like having Immortality meant she couldnt feel pain; the female demon, focusing on the movements of my limbs, had beenpletely ignoring my head and ended up receiving a direct blow.
Wham!
Her high nose bent downwards and shot out blood from its nostrils, and even her legs became tangled as she reeled about.
The female demon didnt take it lying down, however; she swung her lightsaber in a counter-attack and targeted the lower half of my body, my precious other self.
Fwiing-
It barely grazed past its target thanks to my having parried it with Holy Sword 2, but I was so surprised that my little brother shriveled right up.
This dastardly shrew-!
There were some spots that were morally wrong to attack in the world; however, this cowardly demon was the first to break this rule, and therefore: No holding grudges now.
I released the summon of Holy Sword 2, which was utterly ineffective due to my opponents Immortality(Z), and used both hands to grab hold of her voluptuous body like it were a handle.
And then I twisted.
Kyaaagh-?!
My attacks until now had been utterly unsatisfactory; however, my attack this time was effective to the point of making the female demon unable to recover her senses; she gasped for breath as she contorted her waist in pain.
In the end, the female demon loosed a scream as she let go of her Demon Sword and also began to take dastardly action for realshe tenaciously aimed for my precious other self as if bent on devouring it. I neither sumbed nor took fright at this, but mustered my strength and held on like mad.
[?]Bewildered: Its a chaotic mess
I lightly shrugged off Miss Trainee Teachers reproachful words. I was about to die this very instant, so how could I y fair and square?
We scratched and tore at one another, and rolled about the scorched earth entangled.
Sneaky scum!
I should be saying!
I had encountered the most cowardly and despicable enemy in all my 11 to 17 years of life in this fantasy world, but I didnt give in and instead fiercely fought against her.
The fight had seemed as if it would never end; however, atst, this close fight came to an eptable conclusion.
*
*
*
I didnt know where I was. It was impossible to determine the location as the sky was pitch-ck from the dust expelled from a volcanos eruption, and the terrain hadpletely changed due to our overly fierce battle. Nevertheless, I could see my surroundings.
I drove back the female demon into the hard face of a precipice.
Ugh!
She groaned upon colliding against the rock, but she hadnt suffered any notable damage; this despicable demon had used her tight buttocks to minimize the impact.
That being the case, there would have been no meaning in driving her back if I stopped there. This time, I had prepared a fairly good n of my own.
Tak, tak.
I grasped hold of the female demons slender wrists, with this I had blocked out her dangerous Demon Sword attacks, and I stuck my body close to hers so that she couldnt lift her detestable legs; her sharp knee strikes were too great a threat to my tender other self. And now I hadpleted phase one of overpowering her.
The female demon spoke as she heaved hot breaths.
Give up. You cant win against me.
Once again she taunted me, the count of which I had forgotten, but her face was excessively red for a woman iming to be invincible.
I let out a chuckle, andmenced phase two of my n.
Mm.
Uuhb?!
It was as she had taunted. I had subdued her because I couldnt kill her, but this fight would never end by only doing that; thus, I covered her lips with mine so that she couldnt even gasp for breath, and
Crack!
Broke her slender neck.
The female demons limbs went limp, but this time as well she quickly attempted to revive herself. Things were ying out the same as before up to this point, and there would have been no point in covering her lips if I were to let it end like this.
Tssp!
Oom?!
The real fight began from herethe Divinity(Z) power extract I had passed into the female demons throat hindered her revival, and began to destroy her innards.
It was extremely effective.
Quiver!
The sneaky female demon pretended to tremble piteously, despicably jiggling her breasts and trying to draw my gaze below.
But I didnt take my lips away from hers until the end.
Tsssp!
I sucked on the Dark Energy that endlessly flowed out from the female demon along with her lips, and injected the power of my Divinity deeply into her throat so that she couldnt spit it out. And how much time must have passed in this manner, I wondered to myself.
[?]Sigh: Is Student Kang Han Soos kiss a one-use item?
Dont you think the weather is so fine, Miss Trainee Teacher?
The sky had be murky from the ashes of the volcanoes that had erupted everywhere. This was bound to be good for skin health, as it would allow one to evade direct sunlight.
I stared down at the female demon who had copsed from being worn out by the power of Divinity.
She was damn tenacious.
It was the first time in my life seeing such a cowardly demon. Although this was a bit strangeing from a Hero, it was necessary for such demons to learn a thing or two from Demon King Pedonar, who was gentlemanly in an un-demon-like fashion.
But putting that aside, where was this?
O chosen Hero! Do you not think the hurdle too high for a Hero to hold a rtionship with the Demon Kings daughter? Or could it be! Am I failing to follow the trend?
Daughter?
I looked upwards from where I had heard a familiar voice.
There, atop a splendid-looking terrace, I saw a male demon standing behind the Elf Kings wife, who stood in an alluring posture holding onto the terraces handrail with her rear end stuck out backwards.
He proudly shouted towards me, donned in his birthday suit.
In any case, you did good ining without notice, Hero of legend! To think you would get in my way when I was just about to take the Elf Kingdoms beautiful queen! The Elf King is fortunate!
Fortunate my ass.
It was in to see that he had moved on from intimacy on the throne to indulging in outdoor y. Perhaps this speed of progress was on the rather slow side considering 6 years had passed?
I pointed at the female demon lying limp on the ground as I asked a question.
Shes your daughter?
Before that, I will start with my introduction! I am the very pinnacle of all evil, Demon King Pedonar! As my expression of respect for your spirit in charging in here all alone, I shall release the Elf Kings wife for free!
Demon King Pedonar thus shouted generously.
But as for me, I wasnt happy in the slightest.
I was just doing my Hero thing and yet
The ce where I was mistaken to be holding a rendezvous with a demon was below the Demon Kings castle, which was built atop a steep natural precipice.
But I had no memory of crossing over to the middle continent from the north
[?]Reproach: You were busy looking at the chest of a certaindy.
In any case, I didnt know what had happened.
Chapter 70 - Daughter and father
Chapter 70: Daughter and father
Demon King Pedonars unmoved attitude, despite his daughter having been murdered in front of his eyes, wasnt because he had demonic personality that was cold towards his child.
It wasnt called Immortality(Z) for nothing, should I say.
p!
Two pairs of wings sprouted from the back of the female demon I had thought dead; however, they werent the bat-like wings of a demon which I was familiar with. Those wings made of half-transparent light were definitely
Ether-Wings?
A wing formed out of violet light. Like the lightsaber before it, these wings were slightly disconnected from a fantasy world setting. Or was it that this demon had a deep connection to light? She revived the moment she had an opening despite being poisoned with Divinity which was fatal to demons.
Of course
?Race: Second Demon
?Level: 999+
?Job: Queen(CharmRule)
?Skills: Dark Energy(Z) Vigor(Z) Immortality(Z) Charm(Z) Fortitude(SSS)
?Condition: Exhaustion, Anemia, Confusion
Her condition as shown on her Status wasnt all good. Her pallid white skin, wearily drooping eyes, and sagging limbs made me feel as if I were seeing a patient.
A sneaky shrew to the end.
It was definitely a trick to appeal to my protective instinct as a male and make me hesitate in attacking.
What are you saying, you cowardly bastard that steals the heart and body of a woman-!
I was innocent. I had nothing to do with the likes of a woman flying in the sky in the nude. Could it be that exhibitionist demon had utterly no awareness that all of her could be seen from below?
Ahem-hem. O Hero! I understand that you are fond of Ssosia, but I think that the main enemy of demons, the Hero, being like this is problematic in more ways than one
The Demon King, who had put the Elf Kings wife behind him, rather stealthily joined the conversation. He had been naked just a moment ago, yet now he was fully armed from head to toe before I knew it. Perhaps it meant that he was fine with fighting right away.
I was able to figure out the secret behind his confidence without difficulty.
Goddamn Level
I realized that my Level had be extremely high. In the process of wrecking the continents here and there in my endeavors to defeat the female demon, I had ended up killing many others as well. It was no mistake, however; I had judged that I had to at least reduce the gap in Level since I lost out in terms of Skill. In reality that judgement of mine was precise and along with the rise of my Level, I reached the point of being able to subdue the female demon. The growth of various Skills was just a bonus.
That being the case, I didnt worry greatly. First, I activated ck-Box. Until now, Oblivion hadnt worked on that female deDemon Kings daughter Ssonia due to something that was protecting her. But it was bound to be effective if I were to try it now while she was dragging her feet, so dealing with her first
Cowardly bastard. I saw that youve been up to something since a while ago?
Hm?
What do you intend on doing after hacking apart the clothing of a beautiful woman, and even erasing her intact memories? A beast after all
Dont make me out to be a strange guy! You sneaky shrew!
I was an honest and upright youth of Korea.
[?]Point Out: Student Kang Han Soo. Arent you a little too old to im yourself a youth? Though it does seem like it when looking at the way you behave
You saw correctly, Miss Trainee Teacher! My body and heart are still that of a fresh teen!
[?]At a Loss: So thats what you meant Hm-hm. Yes. Thats right.
Ssosia let out a haughty snort as she spoke.
Hmph! You tore off the clothes of a pretty woman and even tried to wipe her memories. The circumstances say it all, yet you want to make excuses like a coward?
Pretty?
Why? Got a problem with that?
Greatly vexing though it was, I had none.
Ah!
You say that, but you took off a mans clothes and bodly flew around in the nude. How about looking back on your own perversion?
That was your fault!
It was your fault in my case too!
Ssosia was truly resilient. She didnt die despite being fed a tremendous amount of lethal Divinity, which was no different from deadly poison to demons, and her memories couldnt be wiped with ck-Box either. There was no other way than to imprison her for life.
When I subdue her this time round, Ill tie her up all over and toss her deep into the ocean.
I thus rekindled my will to fight again. As for the Demon King on the terrace? The one-on-one talk with the regrettable Demon King, who had failed in child education and raised his daughter into a sneaky pervert, could wait untilter Mm?
sh!
Dark Energy surged out like a waterfall from Demon King Pedonars body. The time when I had the highest Level in all of my 11 to 17 years in this world was during the 1st ythrough, but that record was broken this time around. In other words, it meant that Demon King Pedonar had grown closer to the peak of his strength, and he had used his daughter to buy time and adjust to his fallen Level.
The Demon King, who had be free of the aftereffects from Level reduction, spoke in a serene tone.
O chosen Hero, I give you my thanks regarding two things. Firstly, for spending a good time with my daughter. Secondly, for sufficiently growing stronger beyond my expectations.
The Demon Kings expression seemed genuinely thankful and not mocking.
I responded with a divine fist.
Eat this and go to hell.
Bam
The shockwave that followed afterwards sted away the Demon Kings castle without leaving a trace; thats how immense the power contained in my punch was.
My Level had risen to the point where it was hard to increase any further even with a Heros fivefold EXP perk, and the maximum efficiency of a Skill rose ording to your Level. Master Mongs power, Holy Sword 2, Blessing, synergy effects thisbination was a truly mighty one. It was definitely so, and yet
O Hero, that was quite the fierce punch. I had given up when I heard you went missing in the northern continent, yet for you to have returned this strong, I am extremely thankful and delighted.
What the
I was rendered speechlessmy fist had been blocked by the Demon Kings palm. This wasnt logically possible, the reason being that the Demon Kings Dark Energy(SSS) wasnt capable of resisting my Divinity(Z).
But upon involuntarily examining the Demon Kings Status
?Race: First Demon
?Level: 999+
?Job: Demon King(HeroLevel)
?Skills: Dark Energy(Z) Immunity(SSS) Swordsmanship(SSS) Immortality(SSS) Indestructible Body(SSS)
?Condition: Recovery
A wryugh escaped my lips.
What was this, this unbelievable jump in ability? Not only his Level, but also his Skill ranks had overall increased.
On top of that, the controlling power of Demon King Pedonars Z-rank Dark Energy began to pressure me; however, I lightly sent it flying as smoothly as water using Divinity. But what if I didnt have Divinitys protection?
I had almost been reduced to Demon Follower A.
O Hero who possesses Divinity without the Holy Sword, I see that your usage of Dark Energy is severely poor. I shall teach you a lessonthis is how you handle Dark Energy.
The Demon King, he who had easily fallen to a single blow of mine from the 1st ythrough to the 4th,unched a counter-attack after having blocked my punch. He tightly wound Dark Energy around his right arm, then thrust his fist towards my head.
Pwooof-!
It was the sound of air being ripped apart.
Even the force contained in the Demon Kings fist, which had easily crossed the boundary of the speed of sound, was on a whole different league from before. I was astonished, because this had gone beyond a simple leap in advancement.
The hell isKuh!
I gave up on taking a countermeasure and retreated, as the current Demon King couldnt be exined by Status. The rank of his Skill was lower than his own daughter, yet his movements easily surpassed and overwhelmed herbat ability.
Dark Energy is the malice of all creation.
Demon King Pedonar, who had closed as much distance as I had made, shed his usual light attitude and threw forth a heavy punch.
I blocked with a cross-armed guard coated by the power of Divinity.
Crick.
Yet the bones of my arm that received the punch became fractured, following which Dark Energy invaded through that gap and gradually caused that fracture to widen.
Wasnt I in real danger? I had blocked the Demon Kings Dark Energy(Z) with my Divinity(Z), yet the result waspletely different from what I expected. And the damage I suffered didnt end with a broken armeven my natural recovery ability enhanced by Blessing and Holy Sword 2 had be slowed. I had not seen thising.
Even if it were Z-rank, wasnt this too outrageous? A single punch of the Demon King was even stronger than the kick of his daughter, who possessed four transcendental domain Skills. Why?
But without giving me the time to even solve my question, Demon King Pedonars next attack followed up.
Chwaa-
The ck Dark Energy shot out from the Demon Kings fingertips came at me like tentacles. I had chosen to give up responding to his attack and retreat in order to heal my broken arm, but the Demon King persistently chased after me.
And in an entirely unexpected way at that.
p-!
Two pairs of Ether-Wings sprouted from the Demon Kings broad back, and the demon horns protruding from either sides of his head grew even longer and thicker, while horns that werent there before newly appeared from his shoulders, knees, and the tops of his feet and hands. Even his nails and toenails grew long like that of a wild beast.
So this is transformation!
Ssosia hadnt managed to transform due to me ceaselessly driving her into a corner, but that wasnt the case for Demon King Pedonar. He had finished transforming in truly an instant, and charged over at me while shooting out a blue light like that of a booster from his Ether-Wings.
Puwaang!
The Demon King approached me like he were sliding across ice. He hadnt even drawn the Demon Sword by his waist as if it were an ornament, and this time it wasnt a disy of arrogance but of pure confidence.
And once again an attack of Dark Energy came at me.
Boom!
I calmly deployed the power of Divinity to block the attack, but an unknown impact suddenly assailed and shook it once again.
Huh How the
The mass of Dark Energy, which had yet to even make contact with me, had melted into air and disappeared, but then prated through the power of my Divinity and dealt a direct blow to my body. It was a usage of Dark Energy that went far beyond my knowledge andmon sense.
This wasnt the Dark Energy that I knew of.
Cough!
I vomited ck blood from my mouth, and I realized due to my immunity being weakened by the Dark Energy that invaded my body, I had be poisoned by something; however, I had no way of finding out what it was at this instant.
Im gonna die at this rate.
I truly couldnt think of anything else but this line. I hadnt even imagined that Demon King Pedonar could be so strong. Wasnt he supposed to be a pathetic character who loses to the power of love and friendship?
But it was at that moment.
Pause.
The Demon King abruptly stopped his attacks and spoke.
If I were facing the chosen Hero as a Demon King up to this point, then starting now I will be guiding the boyfriend of my daughter as the father of a tomboy.
Who the heck is her boyfrienKugh!?
The Demon King resumed his attacks without giving me the time to even speak, but this time something was differentthe emission of Dark Energy. It was a method of application that I was also capable of.
Should I block with Divinity? Or with Chaos?
I hesitated choosing between the two for a fleeting moment before I impulsively chose the third option.
Chwaa-
I met his attack head on using my SSS-rank Dark Energy, and mustered the power of my Z-rank Divinity which I could spare and counter-attacked.
Tak.
But my Divinity was once again easily blocked, while my Dark Energy was also being pushed back due to theck of my proficiency and understanding. Nevertheless, I was able to barely hold on this time by mimicking the Demon Kings technique.
Impressive.
Youre the one whos changed too much.
I nced up at the sky, which drew forth an immediate response from a certain somebody.
Where are you leering at?! You cowardly bastard!
The Demon Kings daughter, who had nearly jumped out of her skin as shepletely closed her thighs, was wearing underwear. It was of a cute design that was unbing of a sneaky woman.
A yellow chick of all things
O Hero, are you not in the middle of conversing with me right now?
Tsk.
From the underwear to the Demon King again!
Afterwards, we endlessly shed against one another. I didnt grow exhausted, having received the blessing of Infinite, but the Demon Kings tenacious Dark Energy gnawed away at my soul and body, bit by bit.
It was already toote by the time I had understood the workings of this mechanism.
It appears you are having a very difficult time.
Goddamn
Sway.
It had now be difficult to even support my own body. I wouldve been able to manage somehow had I been given even the briefest moment to rest, but the Demon King gave me no openings to do so.
I had no choice but to acknowledge the facts as they were now.
Im gonna lose to the Demon King?
It was something I had never considered before. Excessive arrogance it might have been, but as I grew stronger with each regression, I had a record of defeating the Demon King alone four times already. It was impossible to worry that I would losein my strongest ever condition at that!
No, that was wrong. That I had be so strong was the problem. Forget the gap in skill widening as the Demon Kings penalty decreased, it had grown even closer.
And that was what had ended up endangering my life.
Shiing-
The Demon King drew the Demon Sword at his belt for the very first time. Even the sword, which had used to break like a stalk of straw, emanated a dangerous aura and sense of great power. Was it a Demon Sword that grew ording to the wielders strength? This de that was the envoy of death gradually drew near, but Demon King Pedonar came to a stop and murmured to himself with a faintugh.
To think that my daughter would finally find a man. You live and learn.
Dad!
The Demon Kings daughter, Ssosia, red up in response, and I was the samea demon as sneaky as that being my girlfriend? I had imagined it only for a brief moment, yet I didnt feel like going on living anymore.
If youre a king, then stop with the humiliation and kill me like one!
Im humiliation?!
Ignoring the Demon Kings daughter who had be fully clothed and was shrieking at me, I kept my eyes on the Demon King as I struggled to recover however I could.
But then
Receive my unofficial patch.
After uttering this strange line, the Demon King held his Demon Sword in a reversed grip, and straight away cut his own belly, disemboweled himself.
Splurt!
No blood nor innards came spilling out, but instead, an immense amount of Dark Energy poured forth from the cut like a fountain and shrouded the world in darkness. A Demon Kingmitting suicide? A bizarre thought that even a passerby slime would wobble at; however, this was the undeniable reality, and not the end of the fantasy world I was so familiar with.
Something had deviated.
Father and daughter both insan-
My consciousness was also engulfed by the darkness, swallowed like the world was.
Immediately afterwards
?Sir Hero, has your adventure been enjoyable?
An unaffected voice that could be dimly heard.
I really wanted to kill the owner of that voice.
?The path of a true hero is truly difficult, but you formed countless bonds with others which encouraged you who did not lose your hopes and dreams. From them you learned friendship and love, and after maturing together with them you defeated the wicked Demon King atst. Congrattions, truly!
?Shall we look at your grading now?
But what followed was an oue that exceeded my imagination.
Chapter 71 - Triple
Chapter 71: Triple
?Name: Kang Han Soo
?Combat Ability: FF
?Achievement: A
?Reputation: A
?Character: A
?Note: Theres no way this Hero is this righteous!
Triple As!
Achievement A, Reputation A, Character A.
It was very important so one more time!
Achievement A, Reputation A, Character A!
It was the moment where my efforts finally bore fruit. Mybat ability grade did suffer a setback, due to being steamrolled out of nowhere by Demon King Pedonar, but nevertheless the fact that I had received A-grades in the three subjects which had been causing me trouble was truly encouragingI was deeply moved at this.
How much had I agonized over the biased judgement of the grader until now, I wondered to myself, yet my efforts had paid off atst.
?You have failed to pass.
Failed! Alright! Ill quietly ept it in this 6th ythrough.
I had lost to the Demon King, after all; despite my Skills being better and our Levels being the same, I was pushed back overwhelmingly in a pure duel. It was aplete defeat which left no room for excuses.
?Reason: You are a noble-minded individual who acts for the sake of others. This point only rightly deserves respect; however, this world is not so reasonable. Another opportunity will be granted to you whom has regrettably suffered defeat. Grow stronger, and save the world this time for sure!
I was indeed noble-minded, but the fantasy world was saved with Demon King Pedonarmitting suicidethe graders insincere copy-paste work was seriously bad as usual.
In any case, it seemed that the 7th ythrough was confirmed.
?Beginning re-test.
?The teaching staff are astonished at your grades.
?The teaching staff have fallen into confusion
?A specialist instructor will be dispatched.
The world which was obscured in darkness caused by the Demon Kings Dark Energy grew bright again.

Wee, Sir Hero!
Lanuvels cute-acting and bright voice greeted me and, as blood rushed to my head for moment, I ended up throwing a punch in her direction.
Fwip-
What are you doing, Sir Hero?
Exercise.
My punch, which should have been simply divine, hadnt contained the power of Divinity, which was why it failed to reach Lanuvel who was a considerable distance away; evidence that my Status had been reset along with my regression. I set about organizing my memory once again.
I had saved this fantasy world together with the super robot, Captain Fantasy; however, Captain Fantasy was destroyed by the sneak attack of the cowardly Demon Kings daughter, Ssosia, and I swore to take blood vengeance as I shed tears of blood.
I raised my Level with effort and atst seeded in my revenge, but I ended up being defeated by Demon King Pedonar, who had be excessively strong as his Job penalty weakened. Afterwards, the 6th ythrough came to an end with the Demon King, who had exposed me to humiliation by calling me his daughters boyfriend,mitting suicide.
And thus I came over to the fresh 7th ythrough.
Isnt this good?
Although I had ultimately failed in the 6th ythrough as well, my report card was extremely goodtriple As.
Character A! Reputation A! Achievement A!
Only inbat ability did I receive an FF-grade, but the solution to that was already clear; I would be able to easily defeat the Demon King if I controlled my Level so it wouldnt be as high as it did in the previous ythrough.
Graduating was going to be a piece of cake now.
Have you recovered your senses a little, Sir Hero?
Lanuvel tilted her head, ying cute as she asked me this.
I was feeling fine from the start. You looking for a beating?
The Hero, using violence against a cute and adorable beauty like me?! Are you really okay?!
Do you really wanna get hit?
No I dont. I see that youre a bashful one, Sir Hero. Hehe.
My fist was crying out to take action.
This is Fantasia, a different dimension from the world where you were born and raised in, Sir Hero. It must be unreasonable to hope for you to immediately understand. Ill start exining things one by one from now.
I ignored her exnation and took in my surroundings.
Magician, Magician, Magician instead of the can-head pce knights, I saw nothing but numerous Magicians here. The interior design of this ce, where the dimensional transfer magic circle was drawn, wasnt that of the Dumpling Kingdom which I was so familiar with; however, it wasnt hard to figure out where I was at, and this was thanks to the national g decorating the wall.
An intersecting staff and magic orb, depicted against a blue themed background.
The Magic Kingdom
Following the 6th ythrough, I had started in the northern continent this time as well. I didnt feel it was a bad thing, as it would be easier to stick to the same development that urred in the previous ythrough where I achieved a triple A grade. Only, I had to save the world while raising my Level as little as possible. In order to reduce unexpected circumstances on my way to getting a triple A grade, I had to clear the Cave of Training again as well. Of course, I needed to get my super robot, too
Wait me for, Captain Fantasy. Ill quickly bring you back to life!
Oh my! I am Lanuvel. I am the archaeologist who received a prophecy in the middle of a journey of chasing the ancient legends and summoned you, Sir Hero. Lanuvel means truth in the ancientnguage.
Lanuvel had been babbling on all this while. Although I was somewhat pleased that she had returned to the original version from the shabby little sister version, her lines remained the same even though the location had changed. But that went the same for me as well.
I activated ck-Box.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Blessing(Z) Dark Energy(MAX) Fabrication(SSS) Massacre(SSS)
?Condition: Holy Sword, Saintess, Curse
My Status had changed slightly from the time I hadst checked it; the previously SSS-ranked Dark Energy had be MAX-rank, which signified it had reached the maximum limit of the ordinary domain, and Curse was added to my condition after being defeated by Demon King Pedonar. Curse was a condition that reduced an individuals Level down to one-tenth at the most. It wasmon to be afflicted by this condition upon losing at the hands of a demon.
I didnt worry, however; I just had to erase it using Z-rank Divinity and Blessing.
sh-!
The pure-white manifestation of the divine emitted from my body enveloped my all, and I became filled with holiness.
I had no intention of hiding my strength in this ythrough. I nned on influencing everything with my divinity like I had back at Start Vige in the 6th ythrough.
Wuh?!
Gasp?!
Lanuvel and the Magicians were shocked, exposed to my divinity without a chance to do anything. Some among them firmly rejected my holiness, but I had another method for times like these.
Chwaa-!
Unifying them all with Dark Energy!
Ohh! O Great One!
I believe in you, Divine One!
The Magicians prostrated themselves in unison. All of them, excluding Lanuvel, volunteered to be my loyal hands and feet. Oh how beautiful was this disy of friendship? I didnt refuse and epted all of their requests, as these Magicians werent simple riff-raff.
They were very useful riff-raff.
Pce Magicians, individuals who represented their kingdom. While they were far from beingpared to the Sage, their members wereprised of those whose skills could be counted among the top within the country. Moreover, this ce was the Magic Kingdom, which was called the home of magic; the standard of magic here was higher than in other kingdoms, which meant that someone capable of attaining the title of Pce Magician in this country was an elite among elites.
Hu huh?
Lanuvel wore a dazed look, seeming to me like an outcast who couldnt get along with the group, but I didnt care, as Lanuvels role hadnt been the tiniest bit significant in the 6th ythrough. As such, ignoring her wouldnt affect my iing triple A grade in any way.
About time to go meet His Majesty, I think.
I thought it was best to at least report that the Heros here!. Raising my reputation would be easier this way as well.
This humble one shall guide you! O Great One!
The Pce Magicians acted perceptively upon hearing my words. Protocol was extremely important in this hierarchical fantasy world, but that was no obstacle to me. As for having a loving and loyal heart towards the kingdom? I stood above any rank in human societynow that I had harmonized the two ipatible powers of Dark Energy and Divinity, there was almost no native of this fantasy world that I couldnt subjugate.
Uuh something is strange.
Lanuvel, who was one of the exceptions to the above, expressed discontent as she puffed up her cheeks and pouted her lips.
Personally, I think youre stranger.
Neither Divinity nor Dark Energy had any effect on her. It had worked on even that proud Sage, yet I couldnt find the slightest hint of respect towards me from Lanuvel, who was far weaker than he was. This was why I found her so very suspicious.
Sir Hero! Lanuvel is Lanuvel! Im not strange!
Lets not talk.
We immediately began to make our way into the heart of the Magic Kingdom.

Because the king of the Magic Kingdom had long been struggling against his illness, his resting area was under a guard stricter than that of any other kingdom. During my 1st ythrough when I had moved around the most actively, I had taken a very long time before visiting the northern continent. That was why the king had already died by the time I arrived at the Magic Kingdom, its crown already passed on to another, so this was my first time actually meeting him.
Wee, O Hero. Cough-cough!
There wasnt anything special to him just because he was a king. Having the appearance of an ill rooster, he was in such bad shape that he seemed on the verge of passing away at any moment. As for his Status?
?Race: Human
?Level: 264
?Job: King(National StrengthRule)
?Skills: Magic Power(B) Magic(B) Sociability(C) Politics(C) Governance(C)
?Condition: Curse, Illness, Frail
It was considerably excellent, a Status with just the right bnce for living long and healthy, and yet the king of the Magic Kingdom was slowly dying. This was no spection but a matter of fact. ording to what I had previously heard, while the kingdom had failed in calling over Saintess B, who resided in the northern continent, they had called over a high rank priest to cast a blessing of healing, yet still the kings illness couldnt be cured.
Please rest, Royal Father.
Sniff-sniff! Royal Father
The prince and princess who were fretting by side would die in the near future, and 3 yearster their sweet potato lookalike uncle would be crowned as king.
Your Majesty, the weather is chilly. This younger brother of yours will take care of the summoned Hero from now on, so please rest now.
forever. I knew that he had omitted this word, as I knew what had happened before.
I entrust this matter to you, Duke. Cough-cough!
The king of the Magic Kingdom thus replied as he gazed at his younger brother with sunken eyes. He seemed considerably trusting towards his one and only sibling.
Helped up by two maids, the king carefully rose from his throne.
Totter-totter.
His slowly retreating figure was extremely frustrating.
I set about working the cogs in my head, and came to a solution for this matter before long.
Your Majesty, please look into my eyes. You will be happy by doing so.
Mm? What are you Ohh!
sh!
Thebined powers of my Z-rank Divinity and Blessing surrounded the king. Although I didnt know what manner of power was causing him difficulty, but it was no different to dust before the transcendental domain.
I examined his Status in order to confirm whether he had properly be better or not.
?Race: Human
?Level: 238
?Job: King(National StrengthRule)
?Skills: Magic Power(A) Magic(B) Sociability(C) Politics(C) Governance(C)
?Condition: Healing, Blessed, Healthy, Vigorous
His Level had fallen somewhat in the process of healing, but the king of the Magic Kingdom hadpletely recovered. Going by his extremely positive condition, he would likely be bursting with energy for the time being. Nevertheless, I decided to ask him how he felt out of etiquette.
Your Majesty, how do you feel?
Ooh! I feel as if I have been reborn!
He wasnt speaking empty words. The kings coughing, which had been persisting until now, had ceased, and his voice had be loud and strong enough to reverberate throughout the pce. Furthermore, he was now standing on his feet by his own strength without the support of the maids. It was a surprising change considering that he was all skin and bones due to his recent illness.
H-how can this
His dream of usurping the throne suddenly be distant, the duke trembled with unknown emotion.
Ive had my eye on you since the 6th ythrough, punk.
The kings face had be sunny, like a patient who had been discharged from a suffocating hospital ward.
He spoke to me in an energetic tone.
O divine Hero! Is there something you wish for? If there is anything that I am capable of Ah! Have you married yet? It may sound a little like I am boasting, but I have a lovely daugh-
I have something I wish for.
Yes, my daugh- Mm?
I retrieved the blueprint for Captain Fantasy from my fourth-dimensional pocket, the Skill Storage, and showed it to the king.
Please make this for me.
W-what manner of golem is this exactly?
The king, who was also a Magician, was able to recognize the value of the blueprint at a nce.
I replied with a content smile.
It is the ultimate dream that half of humanity hopes to realize.
The dream had to continue.
?Greeting: Hello? They say time and tide wait for no man. I did expect that a day like this would arrive at some point, but I feel so moved to see you have grown so brilliantly by the dedication and effort of the teaching staff, Student Kang Han Soo. I hope that you will continue to make wonderful progress like now and graduate for sure!
What did the teaching staff do for me again, Professor Morals? Stop with the nonsensical lies and bring out the trainee teacher instead!
?Troubled: But a trainee teacher is merely a trainee teacher
Are you asking for a serving of triple Fs?
Chapter 72 - The lecture on fantasy this Hero speaks of
Chapter 72: The lecture on fantasy this Hero speaks of
?Fright: Please wait! I will look into it!
Professor Morals left as if fleeing.
One day I would slowly crush underfoot those teaching staff trying to stealthily take credit despite having done nothing. It wasnt at the level of simply being unhelpfulthey had made me waste a whole 11 years of my life with their faulty education. When adding the mental stress and other losses Id suffered during this time to the equation, they wouldnt even be able topensate for it in money.
In any case
Your Majesty. As long as this golem ispleted, the world will be ours.
I was in the middle of business right now. There couldnt be anything more important than reviving my beloved steed that was destroyed by that sneaky womans attack while it wasbining.
Wait just a little bit, Captain Fantasy! Were gonna cruise the continent together again.
Hahah, O divine Hero. Yours is a proposal beyond my imagination, so please give me a little time to think.
The king, who had talked like he was going to listen to anything I said, responded with feeble words, but the Triple A Hero magnanimously granted concession. Triple A, Triple A, Triple A Why did I feel so good? Uhihihi. I could already vaguely picture my return to Earth; I saw a shback of the Earth n I had designed over the 11 to 17 years of fantasy life.
I temporarily put those thoughts on hold, however; carelessness was a lethal poison! After all, there was no guarantee whatsoever that I would achieve a triple A grade again. The priority was to build up a favorable reputation here in the Magic Kingdom, and to do so it was necessary to grow closer to the king. Dark Energy and Divinity didnt work on the man, like it didnt on the Dumpling King. It seemed that the Job called King came with a mental barrier or the like.
I look forward to working with you.
Therefore, I went with being unconditionally making concessions on my side in the negotiations. It was slightly frustrating in truthneeding time to think when the matter concerned creating a super robot that could dominate this fantasy world? Nevertheless, I didnt press the king and firmly endured.
I seemed like a sucker even to myself! However, since I was going to be a sucker, I decided to be a sucker until the end; I gave an SSS-rank reassuring smile which contained my 17 years of know-how as a bonus.
Everybody smile~!
I-I shall give you my answer as quickly as possible!
The king of the Magic Kingdom responded positively to my smile. He didnt give an evasive reply with the excuse of state affairs, saying that he would bete in giving an answer due to having to discuss the proposal with the nobles and high-ranking officials. I was satisfied with this for the time being.
The king of the Magic Kingdom while it was our first meeting today, I found him quite the likeable sponsor.
*
*
*
The Magic Kingdom was called the loser of Fantasias northern continent. There was a time in the far gone past when they were an empire that had unified the northern continent, and it seemed their influence from back then still remained to this day. The best example for this?
When the northern continent came to mind, you would also think of magic, and when magic came to mind, you would think of the northern continentand the Magic Kingdom was the reason why this mental form came to be established. While part of the reasony in the kingdoms promising children, who were born with the spiritual energy of Snowy Mountain M, having superior affinity towards magic than children of other continents, the amount of knowledge and wisdom umted over the ages as these superior Magicians made progress in magic had a far bigger influence. That was just how amazing the magic technical skills of the Magic Kingdom were, and their golem manufacturing skills were no exception.
O divine Hero. The result of our conference is that we have decided to immediately begin manufacturing that golem. We have judged that once it is safelypleted, it will not be a dream to even recover our past glory of having unified the northern continent. We n to enlist the help of arge number of Pce Magicians along with our chief engineers.
The king of the Magic Kingdom gave his reply with a face filled with ambition.
Hisplexion had be bright in but a single day, and this could be called the strong point of this fantasy world that ran on Levels; recovering health at the cost of Levels. When you were royalty, you would have plenty of ways to raise your Level within a short period of time, after all.
A brilliant decision.
In any case, this was extremely joyous news for me. The day when I could roam the continents together with my beloved steed, Captain Fantasy, wasnt far away.
3 years will suffice to create it.
Not even 3 days, but 3 years?
Haha! You also seem surprised that it is too quick, O Hero. Because this golem possesses a unique function of transforming andbining, we cannot use any of the existing golemponents. That is why it is necessary to newly build an exclusive manufacturing factory to create everyponent from scratch, but our country harbors far greater resources than it is known to the outside. You may look forward to it.
Ah, yes.
My anticipation detedpletely. 3 years to create it despite there being a perfect blueprint. It was safe to dere that there was no country or organization that could manufacture the golem faster than the Magic Kingdom in all of Fantasias continents, and the Sage was no exception to this either. 3 years was time enough to kill Demon King Pedonar a thousand more timesI couldnt wait that long for them. And thus, I resolutely gave up having a super robot.
But the Magic Kingdom appeared intent on creating one even if I said no. Still, I didnt give them the blueprint, but gave them time to make a copy. It wouldnt do to easily give up on a dream, as you never knew when you would run across an unforeseen opportunity.
Since we were on the topic of golems, I asked the king about Golem D as well.
The inventor of this golem is a genius sent by a god
The king intently looked through Golem Ds blueprint before handing it over to a chief engineer, and momentster informed me the result of their examination.
Haha! The required materials for this one is absurd, every single one of them nothing but rarities. Fortunately the golem is of an extremely small size and the manufacturing process itself is not difficult as it is exined simply on the blueprint. Five days to gather the rare materials, and another five days to manufacture it. Even at most it will not take longer than ten days. Only, the socketponent through which a soul is to be infused into the golem is a variable, and as for where this is to be procured
I knew well how to get a hold of itHoly Sword 3, which contained the soul of a materialistic old maid Hero that was starved for men. It was sealed in the pond of a certain forest inhabited by a freshwater mermaid.
Then I ask that this golem be created at least, Your Majesty.
Golem Ds performance was already verified in the 6th ythrough; it was great enough for it to be called the Goddess of War. Although it was thanks to being upgraded by me granting it Divinity, that the golems weapon was a Holy Sword and the soul it contained was that of a Hero couldnt be overlooked either. Its capability had greatly increased with a soul than without, and this was what I was aiming for.
A Hero could possess only one Holy Sword. That being the case, what if the Holy Sword was equipped on a golem?
A top-grade golem had a summoning function. After linking the golems core with the owners soul like making a contract, it could be stored in a four-dimensional space during ordinary times.
Wouldnt it be possible to possess multiple Holy Swords in this manner? I nned on experimenting this hypothesis using Golem D. I originally had no mind to use this sort ofme method to gain power, but after being pushed back by the Demon Kings sneaky daughter, and suffering defeat at the hands of the powered-up Demon King himself, I keenly felt the need to grow stronger than I was nowgrow noticeably stronger and within a short time at that.
I understand.
The king of the Magic Kingdom epted my proposal with pleasure. Despite knowing that the manufacturing costs for Golem D wouldnt be anything to sneeze at, he was already looking 3 years into the future. But in exchange for epting my proposal, I was requested to keep this matter a secret.
Wasnt it only natural to do so in this line of business?
Of course. I will pray that now you have recovered your health, you will unify the northern continent with Captain Fantasy, Your Majesty.
Naturally, by the time that happened, I would be living in grand style on Earth. I had no interest in the likes of a fantasy worlds future.
I thank you, O Hero.
Haha!
Hahah!
It was a mutually satisfying trade.
[?]Peek: Hello? Student Kang Han Soo. I strongly smelled the stink of a conspiracy the moment I came here, but theres no problem, right?
Theres no way there could be, Miss Trainee. Im a little d to meet you again.
*
*
*
Ten days remained until the manufacturing of Golem D, which the Magic Kingdom had begun working on right after I handed over its blueprint, would bepleted. I had no intention of idling about in the royal pce until then. 6 years had already vanished into thin air due to having be a frozen human in the confusion of the moment; I didnt want to waste any more time at this point.
Of course, I had packed my schedule full of ns. Using the experiences and knowledge I gained in the 6th ythrough as the foundation, I intended on moving swiftly along optimal routes only without losing my way.
And at the same time I thought of this, I put it into action.
Sir Hero~ Where are you going?
Youre really unneeded and dont need to follow, Lanuvel.
A burdentched onto me.
But Lanuvel is Sir Herospanion!
Says who?
Lanuvel promises that she will never bother you, Sir Hero. And itll be convenient in various ways if Ie along. Cleaning, dishwashing,undry, camping, being a conversational partner, cooking, exploring, obtaining information, so on and so forth! There are really lots I can do!
Ugh!
Vexing though it was, I couldnt refute her. In exchange forckingbat ability due to having mainly learnt auxiliary magic, Lanuvels ability to carry a livelihood was overall extremely superior. She was a hundred times better than the otherpanions I had who didnt even contribute in battle and caused nothing but trouble and idents.
How wonderful would it be if only she didnt y cute
So where are you heading to?
There.
I pointed towards the summit of Snowy Mountain M. Although ultimate goal in the 7th ythrough was to achieve a triple A-grade and smoothly defeat the Demon King as well before graduating, I nned on growing stronger as a secondary objective along the way. The first step towards attaining strength was the limit breakthrough of Dark Energy which had reached MAX-rank.
?Type: Skill
?Name: Dark Energy
?Rank: MAX
[?]Z: Be royalty of demons. (0%)
?SSS: Resist Divinity.
?SS: Employ false magic power.
?S: Be a noble of demons.
?A: Employ sinister defense.
?B: Curse target.
?C: Employ sinister attack.
?D: Corrupt target.
?E: Employ false life.
?F: Be a ve of demons.
The Skill had reached the maximum rank in a single breath as I was exposed to the Dark Energy of Demon King Pedonar, who had disemboweled himself out of nowhere in the final moments of the 6th ythrough. I had already experienced the limit breakthrough of the Skill Divinity in the previous ythrough, which was why I also knew extremely well how many Skills needed to be sacrificed as offerings.
And the conclusion?
Its not enough.
I needed much more Skills to sacrifice.
Whats not enough?
Just something on my end. And Lanuvel, instead of disturbing the great Hero, walk this much apart from me.
Aww
Keep ying cute if youd like a pummeling.
What if I dont?!
At that moment, I got the feeling of hearing the urgent voice of a woman crying out Somebody please help~! from afar.
Sir Hero, I heard a scream from over there!
What? I didnt hear anything though? I totally know youre trying to change the subject by ying a dirty trick, Lanuvel.
Lanuvel heard it clearly! Really!
Thats just your imagination.
Aww
While it would have been nice if some powerful monster snatched away Lanuvel, the wild monsters shrinking away from my Divinity showed no signs of attacking. That wasnt all a bad thing though, since my goal in the 7th ythrough was to keep my Level as low as possible. I had no other choice but to do so if I wanted to smoothly defeat Demon King Pedonar; I would obviously lose if I were to fight against him after raising my Level a bunch again. Thats how strong the 6th ythrough Demon King was.
I soon barged inside the log cabin of a suspicious hunter who lived nearby Vige Q. As I had expected, a man and woman who had gone naked in broad daylight came into sight.
Gasp! Who areGuegh?!
Master?!
Ignoring the shock and fear of the pretty Elf woman, who was covering her t LCD monitor with a nket, I dragged the hunter youth outside by his neck. The following development yed out the same as it had in the 6th ythrough.
Its a dragon!
Gasp! A dragon appeared!
Could that white dragon be!
Quickly wake up the heroes!
The enraged hunter youth reverted to his original form of a pure-white dragon, and became prey to my Oblivion.
Look into my eyes.
Quuu?!
The white dragons expression turned dumb, and I confirmed the growth changes in my Status.
Taming(B)Taming(A)
Rearing(D)Rearing(B)
Empathy(E)Empathy(C)
As I had expected, the Skills that were hard to improve normally underwent an increase in rank. The reason why I didnt immediately climb Snowy Mountain M but chose to use this kind ofme method was all to limit breakthrough Dark Energy(MAX); I needed a great number of high-ranked Skills.
I leave the very-inured Elf to you, Lanuvel.
Aww Okay.
Lanuvel expressed discontent while pouting her lips, but she didnt insist on continuing to tag along; if she did so, the Elf would be left alone. Like I had in the 6th ythrough, I entrusted Baekgus Elf wife to Lanuvel. This was the reason why I hadnt bothered stopping her from following me from the royal pce. The aftermath was perfectly settled with this, and since I had gotten the irksome Lanuvel off my back as well, it was like killing two birds with one stone.
Lets go, Baekgu!
Quuuuu-!
Carrying me on his back, Baekgu immediately flew towards the fortress on the summit of Snowy Mountain M.
Just you wait, you sh*tty white cat.
I may forget favors, but I never forget grudges.
[?]Entreaty: Please cherish favors too
Chapter 73 - Speed! More speed!
Chapter 73: Speed! More speed!
My ns for the 7th ythrough changed slightly because if I wanted to take the same footsteps I had in the 6th ythrough, I had to wait 3 years until Captain Fantasy waspleted. In Earth time that was approximately 4 monthsI couldnt carelessly let that precious time go to waste.
Quuuu!
I rode Baekgu and flew to the summit of Snowy Mountain M within moments. There were no monsters that hindered me along the way, the reason being that dragons were at the top of the food chain from a fantasy world perspective. The snowstorm that was so heavy as to make it impossible to see an inch forward proved to be no problem either; white dragons were specialized for these kinds of weathers.
We soon arrived at the frozen fortress.
I gazed below from the sky and searched for the Ice Princess, as she was absolutely needed in order to awaken that cat giant
There she is.
It wasnt hard finding her. How many things could you do in a ce that had nothing but blinding white snow and cold ice? Eating, crapping and sleeping was the routine; however, even these three things alone were enough to make the day pass by very quickly. The Ice Princess had to cook her own meals and clean the dishes herself as well, and it wouldnt be so easy for her to do so even if she used livelihood magic.
Crapping wasnt a simple matter here either. This ce was a frozen wastnd heavily covered in snow and so you couldnt bury your dump in the dirt. But if you were to go about your business anywhere because of that reason, it would be frozen and preserved as is. While it wasnt like poop came with name tags, the so-called feelings of a noble princess didnt allow for this, which was why they were gathered in a secret location like hiding treasure.
And that was none other than the toilet.
Dragon?
The Ice Princess, who had juste out of the toilet that was significantly far away from the fortress which could be called her home, spotted us too; her sky-blue eyes were wide open.
I tapped on the dragons head as I gave an order.
Baekgu, catch her.
Quuuuu-!
Baekgu opened his maws wide as he performed a divebomb, and snatched up the princess like a dragon would in any legend or fairy tale.
Kyah?!
Caught in the dragons mouth, the Ice Princess let loose an ear-piercing scream. Her Skill S-rank Chill reacted to her emotions that grew violent and began to run wild, fiercely attacking Baekgu, but it didnt have the slightest impact on the white dragon who possessed strong resistance against this element, to begin with.
The aloof Ice Princess of the northern continent.
No matter how amazing her fame was, she was no more than a lump of meat that didnt even make for a meal before a dragon. Like how distinctions were made between lowly ves and noble royalty, humans and dragons were worlds apart starting from their very race. Strictly arguing, perhaps the race of Dragon was far better than the Job of Hero.
Yaooong-! *
(Note: Yaong is the onomatopoeia that Koreans use for cat noises. English equivalent is meow)
Quuu?!
But the world ran by thews of the jungledragons were definitely the strongest race from a fantasy world perspective, but there were too many exceptions in this world. There was me, for starters, and then there was this cat giant trying to eat Baekgu again as well.
That aint gonna fly this time!
Iunched a divine attack that contained the fury of my lost 6 years of time.
Purk!
Yaooong?!
The power of Divinity I fired dealt a harsh blow against its gigantic cat head.
Spluurt-!
Correctionmy Divinity pierced through its eyes and prated deep. The damage was at the level of having pricked the cat giant with a needle, considering its size, but I took a scientific approach as bing of a cultured man of Earth.
BoomCrash!
The cat giant staggered and fell to its knees.
You could only be powerless regardless of your size when a vital region located in the bottom-middle of the brain was stabbedthe medu oblongata. The autonomic nerves in charge of respiration and blood cirction are concentrated in this part, and it also serves as a passage connecting the spinal cord. Therefore, even the slightest of attack to this area would have a fatally negative impact on your daily activity.
Just like now.
Give up any thoughts of dying peacefully.
Yaoong~?!
The cat giant truly had many lives. Because the giant came back to life in no time, even when it lost its heart and its head was cut off, it endured for a long time without my having to handle it carefully. Nevertheless, this didnt go on forever.
Chill(S)Chill(SS)
Following the cat giants death throes, an immense chill drilled inside my body; however, I was no longer the man I was in the 6th ythrough. I was truly defenselessly screwed over back then, but this time I was fully prepared.
I enveloped my body in oveppedyers of Z-rank Blessing, and negated the prating cold by tackling it with my own SS-rank Chill. My defensive Skills such as Tolerance and Immunity, which had underwent a drastic improvement during my fight against the Demon Kings daughter, proved to be a big help as well.
Cr-crack, crackshatter!
The energy attempting to freeze my body was broken, and with this my first objective wasplete.
Theres no need for the Ice Princess now so let Mm?
Quuu?
I didnt see anything.
The Ice Princess, who had been held in Baekgus mouth until now, had disappeared silently, and so her power stabilization lessons could be automatically skipped.
Lets move on from trivial matters!
Quuu!
p!
Spreading his wings to the fullest, Baekgu rapidly rose into the sky.
My destination was decided from the startthe Cave of Training.

Having climbed atop Baekgus head again, I raised the proficiency level of various Skills as I moved about Snowy Mountain M. I left the hunting to Baekgu, since I couldnt raise my Level as much as I pleased, while I only received Skill proficiency on the side.

There was the power of friendship type of Skill that I was forced to learn in the 1st ythrough, but there were far more types that only supportive Jobs such as Tamer or Summoner could obtain.
Well, its not bad.
How could I dislike it when my proficiency levels rose while sitting doing nothing? Experience was important in everything.
I once again felt how trash the Job Hero was. You might think the fivefold EXP bonus a good thing, but a Tamer that had tamed five dragons could achieve simr efficiency in gaining EXP and if the number of dragons was increased to ten?
Feeling that my belly might start aching if I were to continue this line of thought, I stopped.
It was with this momentum that I continued to circle around Snowy Mountain M for an entire day, after which I descended the mountain and headed towards the Cave of Training.
I would have liked to travel around the different continents, seeing as how I knew of many prey like the cat giant that would grant arge rise in Skill proficiency upon being defeated.
For instance, by taking down Dragon King Noebius and eating its heart, you could raise the proficiency of the Skill Chaos by a great deal, and hunting down Guardian Ullullu would likewise increase the proficiency of the Skill Destruction. And it didnt have to be in the middle continent; including the Five Disasters scattered across the five continents, I knew about an extremelyrge number of this kind of prey. However
Cant be helped.
My Level had increased tremendously despite having only killing one cat giant. Although it wasnt yetparable to the Level I had in the 6th ythrough, if I wasnt careful from this point on, I would truly end up meeting my funeral day.
The Demon King had disemboweled himself in the previous ythrough and thus I made it through somehow, but there was no guarantee that such fortune would ur again. It was possible that death might spell an eternal end instead of a regression; therefore, I couldnt risk betting everything on an obscure hope.
Thump!
Baekgu noisilynded in a forest heavily inhabited by low-Level Orcs. Here was the exclusive hunting ground for royalty of the Magic Kingdom, the ce where the Cave of Training was hidden.
Quuuuuuuu-!
HuHu?!
JuJu~?!
The nearby Orcs fled, frightened out of their wits at the sight of the roaring dragon. The disparity in Level was extreme as well, but what drove them to run was a primitive fear born from the difference in race.
I climbed down the dragon in front of the Cave of Training.
Wait here obediently.
Quuu.
It wouldnt take long to go through the cave, as it was a ce I had already experienced once, and I had something to fall back on as well.
Now then
The time hade to sacrifice the Skills that werent valuable, the Skills I had raised over 6 years that felt like half a monthI decisively gave them up.
[?]Z: Be royalty of demons. (7%)
The progress towards opening the transcendental domain began to rise. For the limit break of Dark Energy(MAX) which had reached the maximum limit, I offered up every Skill apart from the ones that were hard to raise again. There was no need to think on it as I had already decided on which to use while raising Divinity(Z).
[?]Z: Be royalty of demons. (35%)
[?]Z: Be royalty of demons. (59%)
I went up at in frustratingly small increments, but there were no unforeseen circumstances as I had already calcted how many Skills were required as sacrifices.
Now all the Skills that remained were SS-rank and SSS-rank.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Blessing(Z) Dark Energy(MAX) Massacre(SSS) Fortitude(SSS) Fabrication(SSS) Magic Power(SS) ughter(SS) Chill(SS) Pursuit(SS) Physical Strength(SS) Endurance(SS) Five Senses(SS) Swordforce(SS) Body Technique(SS) Trade(SS) Eloquence(SS) Inspiration(SS) Indestructible Body(SS) Immunity(SS) Taunt(SS) Harass(SS) Animal Training(SS) Taboo(SS) Vitality(SS) uracy(SS) Resistance(SS) Rebellion(SS) Tolerance(SS) Survivability(SS) Incitement(SS) Close Quarters Combat(SS) Composure(SS) Melee(SS) Stamina(SS) Overpower(SS) Taming(SS) Madness(SS) Evasion(SS) Defense(SS) Governance(SS) Fighting Skill(SS) Summon(S) Fortune(A) Interpretation(A) Storage(C) [?][?](C) Festival(E) Infinite(E)
?Condition: Holy Sword, Saintess
Extremely many of my Skills had risen to SS-rank in the midst of my fight against the Demon Kings sneaky daughter, Ssosia. While I somewhat couldnt understand why several of those Skills had increased in rank, it was a minor concern seeing as they would be sacrificed soon anyhow.
And atst
Dark Energy(MAX)Dark Energy(Z)
My status had officially ascended to that of demon royalty, and I became able to vaguely understand the effect of Z-rank Dark Energy. Like Demon King Pedonar and Queen Ssosia, I had risen to the stage of being able to call myself a king due to the Skill effect. I felt no sense of achievement, though.
One hurdle after another
What I felt in its ce was a sense of dismay, as if I were gazing out into the vast universe. Along with my understanding of Dark Energy naturally increasing, I realized ever more deeply as to just how strong the 6th ythrough Demon King Pedonar was.
The First Demon.
This title didnt simply mean he was born first. No, it was because he was the very first that he possessed the most experience and wisdom. There were many fools like the Elf King who had nothing to show for their age except for the number of times they shat, but Demon King Pedonar was different from them despite doing nothing but sitting on his throne all day long and seeing as how he enjoyed outdoor y with the Elf Kings wife, it didnt seem like he was fixed to his throne either.
[?]Peek: Please be prudent when undergoing a limit breakthrough.
Mm? What do you mean, Miss Tranee Teacher?
[?]Exnation: An interconnecting property exists between transcendental domain Skills, which is why the variety of offerings required in limit breakthroughs increase in proportion to the number of transcendental domain Skills you have. You might not yet feel it as its your second time now, Student Kang Han Soo, but it wont be as easy from the third time. Furthermore, its because theyre interconnected that taking the harmony of Skills into consideration before undergoing limit breakthroughs is better for an easy retirement.
Damned Miss Trainee Teacher! You should have told me about such an important thing early!
[?]Whisper: Its originally supposed to be a secret.
Oops! My pretty secret friend! I trusted you, Im telling you! You know my unchanging heart, dont you?
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Blessing(Z) Dark Energy(Z) Fabrication(SSS) Taming(SS) Summon(S) Fortune(A) Interpretation(A) Storage(C) [?][?](C) Festival(E) Infinite(E)
?Condition: Holy Sword, Saintess
No big change had urred in the Skills that remained after sacrificing the rest. As I could leave one SS-rank Skill, I had almost hesitated in choosing which to spare, but I went with Taming as it was apparently capable of taming those of the same race upon achieving SSS-rank. It was a choice I made purely out of intellectual curiosity.
There was nothing more to it than that.
Humm~??
I entered the Cave of Training while humming a song to myself.
My Status became different from the previous 6th ythrough.
?Race: Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Jobless(EXP 110%)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Blessing(Z) Dark Energy(Z) [?][?](C)
?Condition: Training
Although my Level had temporarily fallen to 1, the same as before, the number of transcendental domain Skills I had had increased to three. The difference between one and three was threefold in simple calction alone, but this difference would be even wider if these Skills achieved harmony.
And that wasnt all.
JoblessPope(Divinity=Evangelism)
Freed from the Job of Hero upon entering the Cave of Training, I had be a Pope due to thebination of the Skills Divinity and Blessing. And a Popes Job perk was an increase in Evangelism! It would undergo an equal rise in rank to the Skill Divinity.
I swiftly read through Evangelism(Z)s Skill effects and found that, even though I had ignored it as an inferior version of Fabrication in the 6th ythrough, it made for an extremely goodbination together with the Skill effects of Dark Energy(Z).
Hooh?
Indeed, Hero was trash after all. It was a Job that couldnt even amount to that of a vulgar thief.
[?]At a Loss: You must be the only one who feels that way, Student Kang Han Soo
With this, I had four transcendental domain Skills, enough for me tond a good hit on the chin of that old prince I met in the previous ythrough, fair and square.
Bring it on, prince boy, bring it on. I wont harm ya!
I decided to wait in thest room guarded by that lecherous female priest, to sit back and rx while teaching that hussy how to serve a divine pope
[?]Advice: Please think of your character grades!
Hey now! Do you know who I am, Miss Trainee Teacher? Im a Triple A Hero!
AAA.
Still AAA even when reversed!
It had a nice ring to it no matter how many times I yelled it out.
Chapter 74 - Split & Copy & Paste
Chapter 74: Split & Copy & Paste
While it was nothing new to say, I had already gone through the Cave of Training once. The first time I came, my Heros tomb raiding sense had activated and so I had even tried exploring every corner of the ce. But having realized now that there was nothing to be found, I advanced with the goal of swiftly clearing the cave no matter what.
ck! ck! ck!
Bam! Crack! Crunch!
When taking out the dy due to the training puppets being created in phases, the actual time I spent fighting amounted to no more than fleeting moments.
I reached thest area, the Transcendentants Room which was prepared for the next generation Hero, in almost no time.
I had four Z-rank Skills. As it had been smooth sailing even when I had one Z-rank Skill, at present, the cave was no training but rather a trifling walk in the park. As I had expected, the female priest was waiting at the entr- Mm?
Who are you?
A tall male demon stood there in ce of the female priest. Although I didnt sense the Dark Energy distinctive to demons from him, he did have the other trait in the form of a ck pair of horns protruding from above his ears. He was attired in a pure-white tuxedo, while his only weapon seemed to be the scimitar hung on his back. The sword was by no means small, yet it felt rtively small because the demon was so tall.
I examined the mans Status out of habit.
?Race: Old Demon
?Level: 1
?Job: Butler(MasterLevel)
?Skills: Curse(Z) Hallucination(Z)
?Condition: Administration
The interior of thest room was identical to how it was in the 6th ythrough, excluding this old demon who courteously bowed and gave a greeting.
Hello, new generation Hero. Wee to the museum thatmemorates the foolish First Hero. I am the demon in charge of managing this ce, and I do hope you will not hold the prejudice that all demons are absolute enemies. This is a ce which also serves to tell that truth.
I listened without a word, for the time being. This demon didnt know about me yet, didnt know that it wasnt my first time here.
Long, long ago, the First Hero, who was summoned to Fantasia from another dimension, grew stronger as you did. He led humanity and the interracial allied forces with his overwhelming talent, sociability and omnivorous appetite, and in the end shed against the Demon King to wrest victory.
Enough with the unnecessary details.
I was already aware of all this.
Then do you know of the story that follows afterwards? The Hero who defeated the Demon King made a family with beautiful princesses, Elves, mermaids and Saintesses, and lived a happy lovey-dovey ever after. This is the version that you, perhaps, know?
Just get to the point.
I looked about the garden of the temple. In the 6th ythrough, the garden had been so well-maintained to the point of giving off a sense of mysophobia, but now I saw thickly grown weeds which made it appeared like it had been neglected for a long time. Could this also be due to the switch in the person in charge?
In any case, the demon proceeded to im, as the female priest had, that the Truth is different!. The story he told was subtly different, however; he was depicted as a victim rather than a yboy. The Hero who slew the Demon King apparently didnt have a happy ending.
The demon butler continued to speak.
Hahah! You have a hasty temper, I see. As you might have already guessed, the First Hero became an unnecessary existence with the enemy vanquished.
The demons who sought supremacy over the universe fell into chaos as the defeated First Demon King was sealed. From that point on, no one could stop the righteous Hero, and in theory, the universe should have achieved peace.
Look, butler. If you want to say that the First Hero began to be kept in check by his allies, then you might as well spare me the details now. Anyone can see that muching. Shall I try guessing it? Sick of his miserable wife and wifes family meddling in his business, the Hero must have run away from home.
Correct. I see that you have amazing insight.
Its basic. Dont try to butter me up.
Hahah! And you are humble too.
The demon butler responded in a wily manner.
Instead of retorting, I slowly looked around the inside of the temple. Overall, it hadnt changed from thest time I saw it; however, the small changes I found bothered me quite a bit.
First was the management. I had felt this at the sight of the garden as well, but dust was heaped up inside of the temple; it was evidence that it hadnt been cleaned for a long time. It wasnt bad to this extent when the female priest was in charge. While the ce had been emptied out by raiders, she had at least kept the floor and windows clean. With the person in charge being changed to the demon butler, however, the cleaning wasnt done at all.
Just like a house that was robbed.
Female priest?
I spotted the original home owner. She wasnt wearing the priestess outfit I saw her in the other day, but a set of half-transparent crimson lingeries that clearly showed her private parts. She was staring vacantly outside a window in a bewitching posture with her butt sticking outwards, while her heavy breasts and slender arms leaned against the window frame.
There was no way she couldnt have seen me at this distance, yet the female priest didnt even send a nce my way.
And there was a reason that exined why.
?Race: Old Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Archpriest(Religious Influencemor)
?Skills: Blessing(Z)
?Condition: Administration, Hallucination
It was obvious as to who was behind the Hallucination on her Condition.
Hahah! Shes a specter of the past who was the Heros wife. There is no need to pay mind to her as she is in the midst of dreams and cannot see us. Now then, new generation Hero. The truth lies ahead, waiting.
The demon butler was ultimately the same as the female priest; he guided me to the golden statue modeled after the First Hero located in the deepest area of the temple. I was seeing the First Holy Sword once again. Would this demon try to have me seize that sword like the female priest had?
For the time being, I decided to tacitly try my luck.
That Holy Swords the reward?
I intended on sending his jaw flying the moment he answered in the affirmative, as it was necessary to be wary of his Z-rank Hallucination which hadpletely fooled even the female priest. Or perhaps I was already under his spell and yet to realize itthats how unsettling a Skill it was.
It is not.
Hm?
Please watch carefully.
The demon butler walked near the statue.
Rumble
The statue showed a reaction. It seemed to have been designed to attack anything that approached the Holy Sword, even if that may be the administrator; however, the demon, who had expected as much and had prepared ordingly, was a step ahead.
By using hallucinations to make the statue attack nothing but air, he snatched away the Holy Sword in but moments, yet the statue returned to where it stood, unaware that the sword was taken away.
Like taking candy from a baby.
The Skill Hallucination
It was extremely tempting.
The demon butler cast a curse which emitted an ominous aura on the stolen Holy Sword and immediately afterwards
Crack-
a crack appeared in the Holy Swords de.
Shatter-!
Then in the end, itpletely broke apart and became useless.
Huh?
A forcedugh escaped my lipsthats how ridiculous what happened was. Would a Holy Sword be called a Holy Sword for show? It was a Holy Sword of legend because it possessed a sacrosanct element. Of course, there could be no absolutes, but nevertheless a Holy Sword wasnt an item so easily destroyed like that.
The corner of the demon butlers mouth curved up in a smirk.
From the look of your expression, Sir Hero, it appears you have understood.
Why dont you exin.
Yes, of course. The Holy Sword I just destroyed is indeed the Holy Sword formerly used by the First Hero; however, at the same time, it is notby no means would the genuine article have been so easily broken. The reason why is that this world of Fantasia is not the only one of its kind.
This I knew, as I had learnt about it from Professor Morals. The Fantasia dimension was one enormous education facility where Earthlings abducted by the teaching staff were raised into Heroes. It wasnt something like a school or academy, however; it could be said that each and every copied dimension in itself was like a schoolbook.
From Viger A to Princess K, every single thing existed for the sake of one Hero. It was truly an education method of an outrageous scale.
You are not the only Hero.
So you destroyed the Holy Sword in order to show me evidence?
Indeed. After all, this Holy Sword would not have been so easily broken even if only half of the legends were true. Is that not so?
Well
If a Holy Sword meant for ying the Demon King could be shattered by the likes of an insignificant demon butler, then it wouldnt have even been called a Holy Sword. But the sword that was destroyed before me was definitely a Holy Sword.
The demon butler proceeded to conclude what he wanted to say.
New generation Hero. This Fantasia continent is not a dimension copied exactly like the originalit is a uniform partition of the original world. For instance, say you have something with an original power of 100. The concept is not to generate a replica of that item with 100 power, but to split its power and divide 1 among many. It is the same with the Holy Sword that was destroyed just now.
He then added that this concept didnt only apply to the Holy Sword, but that everything that existed in the world of Fantasia was a clone split off from the original.
Even Demon King Pedonar?
Yes indeed. You truly do have good insight. That is what I wanted to tell you. Those in Fantasias continents are making noise saying that the Demon King has resurrected, but that is misinformation. Not once has he resurrected ever since his defeat at the First Heros hands, and this is because the entirety of his power is sealed, divided among the number of replicated worlds in existence.
No wonder
I was able to understand thanks to the demon butlers exnation.
The penalty that came with the Job of Demon King caused the Demon Kings Level to drop ording to the Heros Level. While I did find out from the 2nd ythrough that it was a system set up in order to propagate the power of love and friendship, I did feel it questionable to give such a weakness to the Demon King who was supposed to resurrect and take over the worldbut not any longer.
If he had never resurrected, to begin with?
It had been all wrong from the outset. Demon King Pedonar had always remained sealed from the day he was defeated by the First Hero until now. At present, the regression and adventures I was undergoing were simply education. Whether I defeated the Demon King or not, there would be no such thing as the downfall of the world.
What I was going through was literally a training aid, no more no less.
The Demon King is not your true foe, Sir Hero.
The demon butler emphasized this for the second time.
I am aware that this may be much too sudden for you, Sir Hero, who must have been constantly requested to y the resurrected Demon King, and thus it is fine if you do not believe me for the time being. Only, I ask that you remember my words at least once inter days.
Right.
I responded vaguely, but this was absolutely not because I didnt believe in this demons words. Thetest regression made this my 7th ythrough. In terms of experience, I was on my 17th year! No longer was I a fledgling Hero. Rather, the problem was that I was a veteran who knew too much.
The fantastic usage of Dark Energy shown by the Demon King in the 6th ythrough wasnt at the standard of having be stronger with increased Level. It was a glimpse of his original ability that he exhibited as the seal binding him became very slightly loose.
I saw the Demon King in a new light, which was why
I should hurry and graduate already!
Nothing good woulde out of pointlessly getting tangled up in all this. The best course of action was to graduate as quickly as possible and shake the dust off my feet from this barbaric fantasy world, and I was making ns to that end when
New generation Hero, are you not curious?
Dont omit the subject.
You had to know what to be curious about, no?
Hem-hem. My apologies. Are you not curious as to why they nurture Heroes when there is no Demon King to even defeat?
Who are they?
The ones who summoned you to this world, Sir Hero.
Just spill the answer already. Instead of dragging it on and being silenced by some disruptor that appears out of nowhere.
I had witnessed very many of such developments. Too many to be called coincidences.
Hahah! I see that you are greatly cautious. Yes, I will exin it in summaryit is for the sake of defeating the First Hero. The First Hero who really ran away from home made a new family. Not one of equal husband and wife, but a harem of absolute one-sided submission. It would not be very wrong to call the members of that family the next generation demons and Demon King.
Interesting.
Thus, the Hero became the Demon King, while his formerpanions set about nurturing a new Hero. This made me recall the final moments of my 1st ythrough.
This is all that I wanted to tell you, new generation Hero. Still, a reward must be in order seeing as how you have taken the trouble toe this far. This body is but one of the countlessly divided bodies, after allI shall give you this power. May your adventures be an enjoyable one, brimming with hopes and dreams.
The body of the demon butler, who bid me a courteous farewell, crumbled apart.
Although there was no change in my Status due to the influence of the Cave of Training, I got the feeling that my Skills and Levels had improved.
And the hallucination broke as well.
Ah?! You are!
Still in her lingeries, the female priest covered her chest upon spotting me, frightened out of her wits. Being the gentleman that I was, I responded by using my tongue and lips rather than uttering awkward words. With plenty of love.
Slump.
The female priests slender limbs dropped powerlessly.
I waited for the old prince to enter the Cave of Training, reusing a certain old hot water bottle in the meantime. A day passed, two days, then three
He really isnting.
Haung
I had be tired of the hot water bottle, and I felt as if I had wasted too much time.
Maybe its about time I went to meet the Demon King instead
But at that moment, I was able to vaguely sense that somebody had entered the Cave of Training. That individual was still quite far away, at the Beginners Room.
I cracked a grin as I rose from the bed.
So youve finallye.
It was truly an unexpected meeting.
Chapter 75 - An alien in fantasy? Huh?
Chapter 75: An alien in fantasy? Huh?
I backtracked through the Cave of Training, holding the scimitar left by the demon butler as my weapon. This time for sure, I nned on making that old prince spit out everything he knew after perfectly restraining him with a herniated lumbar disc.
But at this time, I had ended up overlooking the meaning in the words spoken by the demon butler.
The Fantasia dimension. When considering it a dimension that was split for the purpose of nurturing Heroes, even if the creatures and natural environments belonging to this continent repeatedly regressed over and over, the same processes and results would ur. A variable in all this would be a Hero kidnapped from outside the dimension.
And an uninvited trespasser.
Hey. Why are you here?
As the old prince was also a Hero that could enter the Cave of Training, I had thought him naturally a part of the Fantasia dimension; however, I had just realized that that wasnt so.
It was because of the Hero who was fighting a wooden puppet in the Beginners Room, with crap-inducing effort.
Gasp-gasp! Kang Han Soo? Its you, right?
The other party immediately recognized me.
Could there ever be another coincidence like this in the world? Nay, this was definitely a machination devised by the teaching staff, as it didnt makemon sense.
Hey. Howe youre here when youve graduated?
The other side was a graduate who had returned to Earth; there was no way he would have remained behind in this barbaric world. Perhaps, he too had be split as he graduated? The mere imagination of it was appalling, as it didnt seem unrted to me.
His appearance was the same as I hadst seen him, that of a youth around 19 years of age. It you were to call his red-dyed hair his distinguishing feature, that it would be. After dealing with all of the wooden puppets, the youthy down syed out and asked me question instead of answering.
Kang Han Soo. Whats my name?
My dear friend, you cant trust me?
The hell I could! You darned ass! You forgot again!
High School ssmate A thus cried out suddenly.
*
*
*
The Earthling Heroes kidnapped to the Fantasia dimension if they defeated Demon King Pedonar by the unfair and unsquare power of love and friendship, they could return to their home, Earth. This was a certain fact, as it was something I had confirmed during the Hero Festival. I asked an indirect question to the youth who was living proof of it.
Why are you here?
ssmate A replied in a casual tone.
I participated in a hunt as a mercenary together with my girlfriend. Eventually, we had no choice but to pitch camp as the weather worsened, but it turned out we only had one sleeping bag. We chatted about the hunting in the day until dawn while warming my girlfriend, who said she was cold, but then got scolded by our employer who told us we were being noisy in the middle of the night
Shut your trap and get to the point.
I had flown into a rage in the midst of quietly listening and almost ended up cutting ssmate As throat with my scimitar.
Kang Han Soo. You, dont have a lover, do you?
Get to the point while Im talking mean.
Tsk-tsk. What a temper. Keep listening since Im getting to the main point starting now. So I fell asleep at dawn and when I woke up, I was in a fantasy vige. I asked around to the vigers, who said I had a little sister but I havent actually seen even a shadow of that little sister.
ording to him, he was extremely bewildered at first. His girlfriend, who had yed the role of a hot water bottle, had disappeared, while he was kidnapped to the continents of Fantasia againjust like that, without even a wee greeting! Whats more, he couldnt see hide nor hair of the little sister character that was supposed to live with him.
However, ssmate A was a Hero who had graduated this fantasy world, after all. Despite the Heros adventure introduction havingrgely changed in a poor way, it wasnt his first time being kidnapped to Fantasias continents; ssmate A quickly grew familiar with the vige and spent several days doing volunteer work for its residents.
And then one day, after entering the forest to procure medicine by the request of the stable owner, whose daughter was ill, I discovered a new Holy Sword! Heheh. Dont be surprised at hearing thisit was an Ego Sword! Containing the soul of a noble senior Hero.
ssmate A had apparently obtained Holy Sword 3 from the pond where that freshwater mermaid lived in.
So you came to this cave by the Holy Swords rmendation.
I could roughly grasp the flow of events; ssmate A was proceeding along the main storyline I had experienced in the 6th ythrough.
Huh? How do you know that, Kang Han Soo?
Through experience.
After giving a perfunctory answer, the inside of my head grewplicated because of ssmate A being dragged back into this barbaric fantasy world, when he had graduated in 3 years after being acknowledged as a Hero.
Was it because his attitude or performance after graduation was bad? But that didnt seem like the case. As I quietly listened to his story withoutmenting, I found that he had been diligently practicing the power of love. There was no reason for him to be kidnapped again.
How about examining the Status of the resummoned ssmate A?
?Race: Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Jobless(EXP 110%)
?Skills: Interpretation(A)
?Condition: Training
I couldnt tell as of the present due to the influence of the Cave of Training. Things would have been different if ssmate A had a Skill which had reached Z-rank, but if he had possessed such capability, he would have been zooming around when I met him at the Hero Festival. Nevertheless, I could make a rough guess. It was possible to buy a shabby full set of clothes made from boar hide if you listened to each and every request of the shabby viges residents, but ssmate As outfit differed from that.
It was abat uniform of a modern design. Like how I had always started over wearing my school uniform, ssmate A, who was resummoned in the midst of hunting, was in thebat uniform he wore on Earth. Perhaps his Status was also carried over, as is?
In any case, ssmate A, who had used the same sleeping bag with his girlfriend, was on the extremely fortunate side. He was nearly summoned wearing nothing but his underwear or his birthday suit, after all. Still, being employed as a mercenary, ssmate A had the professional mindset to dress neatly in any situatio Mm?
My friend.
Call me by name.
My friend!
You damned ass, what is it?
What were you hunting to have been sleeping while wearing abat uniform?
The Status of ssmate A I had seen during the Hero Festival was at the level of being unfazed even by the assault of a hundred tigers. He would be able to best those cats, even if he were to wear a hot water bottle made in Korea instead of abat uniform. What could have been the reason behind him specially wearing it while sleeping when there was no way he didnt know this?
Isnt that obvious?
ssmate As tone was natural, but as I hadnt managed to return to Earth, I didnt know what that obvious thing was. When you kept your mouth shut at such times, things would be advantageous for you half the time. And as I had expected, ssmate A proceeded to exin of his own ord.
The android army, which is the main force of the aliens who began to invade Earth from before June. In contrast to their looks of woman as beautiful as a wax figure, their battle prowess is absurdly high. In particr, theyre more threatening because you cant tell them apart from us humans before checking their Status.
Androids, robots that resemble humans. It seemed that these aliens invading Earth possessed numerous trashy, delicate robots like Golem D. If the time and resources spent on creating such trash had been invested into super robots instead, then Earth would long have fallen into the hands of the aliens.
That would be troublesome. In fact, this went beyond being troublesome, so much so that I felt a chill in my heart, because my parents were on Earth. If the became conquered by the aliens, then the wellbeing of my parents would be put in jeopardy. I decided to consider it fortunate that the aliens had no interest in super robots.
Whats the big deal about such androids?
For the time being, I threw in some words to keep up the pretense of also having returned to Earth, but then ssmate A shot a dumbfounded look at me.
Why?
Androids. Alias, Valkyries. Even the weakest mass-produced type is stronger than a Hero around Level 700. Youll be murdered straightaway if you ignore them, yeah? Ah! But I hear they dont kill beautiful or handsome people and drag them off somewhere instead. Though of course, that wont apply to you or me.
What about me?
I had an acquired look.
You cant cover the sun with a palm. Go out with some down to Earth girls instead of fantasy, haha!
By the way, Kang Han Soo, Ive been the only one talking for a while now. You should talk about how youve been doing until now, too.
Thats
I was put at a crossroadstopletely ignore him, or to adequately y along. While there was the third option of extracting information out of him through torture, I didnt want to go so far against a high school ssmate. That being the case, only two options remained. In truth, though, it was a problem that needed no consideration.
Earth was under the invasion of aliens.
How could I just sit still after hearing about something so absurd? In order to get more information out of ssmate A, who had crossed over here from Earth again, it was necessary to strike up a friendly rtionship with him instead of giving the cold shoulder. However
Sir Kang Han Soo. I was wondering where youd gone after lighting a fire in my heart
A voice of reproach mixed with high-pitched coquetry sounded from behind me; it was the priestess who had chased me here after I disappeared from the bed. She only had a thin nket barely covering her nude body.
ssmate A too had just spotted her, following which he gaped widely.
Kang Han Soo, you bloody bastard! You yed ignorant when youve been having a lovey-dovey time with such an amazing beauty!
I felt as if I had greatly lost favorability with ssmate A, but nevertheless, it wasnt a bad thing when considering I managed to evade his question thanks to him misunderstanding of his own ord again.
However, what could be a good excuse to exin the priestess, who had appeared looking outrageously unbing of her upation? At the end of my contemtion, an ingenious idea urred to me. While pointing at her, I spoke.
Let me introduce her. Shes Cave Resident A, who I coincidentally met in the Cave of Training. As you can see, shes a very capable talent.
The priestess possessed the Skill, Z-rank Blessing. As ssmate A was also a Hero who could see Statuses, he had to have confirmed this overpowered Skill of hers.
Ha! Are you bragging about your girlfriend being matchless right now?!
Shes a cave resident, Im telling you.
I didnt even know her name yet.
Gah, this punk. Being rxed and deceitful until the end, even when you have such a beauty. Im gonna expose everything at the high school ss reunion, you traitor!
Its really nothing much.
Even feigning modesty!
It no longer seemed like we could continue a normal conversation, which was why I decided to get out of the Cave of Training for starters. Although it was possible to reach thest room as long as the administrator, the priestess, was present, I didnt feel the need to apany ssmate A that far. It was enough to go to the Challengers Room, which was far from thest room, as the exit to the outside also opened starting from there.
Ill be going first, soe after me the best you can.
What?!
I chose to provoke ssmate Aspetitive spirit. Seeing as how he had previously boasted about winning over the Ice Princess, he would definitely grit his teeth and chase after me the fastest he could. Nothing good woulde out of going so far as to show him my current ability, and there was no need for me to safely escort him by his side since this was the Cave of Training. He would never die here.
I returned to the Transcendents Room with the priestess in tow.
In truth, I was in a slightly anxious state.
Aliens, all of a sudden?
I ruminated the things ssmate A had said and found a strange simrity to the timing of the aliens appearance; it was 7 months(6 years) ago that I defeated the old prince by smashing his jaw, and the timing of the aliens invasion on Earth strangely ovepped.
Whats more was the First Hero the demon butler had talked about. Although the appearance of androids, which might belong in a science fiction novel, was somewhat abrupt, there was Golem D who passed as a beautiful goddess in the 6th ythrough, and I had even witnessed the Demon Kings daughter swinging around a lightsaber. It was a situation that could indeed take ce in a fantasy world, though the problem was that fantasy element had moved over onto Earth.
This isnt the time to rx.
It was no situation to be reusing an old hot water bottle, as there was no knowing when those aliens would murder my parents.
On one hand, I didnt worry too much, as my grades in the 6th ythrough was a triple A, a three of a kind. It would be a won game if I smoothly dealt with the Demon King this time. Upon achieving straight As in all four subjects, even the petty Fantasy God wouldnt be able to not let me graduate.
I leisurely waited for ssmate A to make his way to the Challengers Room and bing bored, I reached out for the hot water bottle again.
Isnt the punk being too slow?
He had neither died nor given up. The reason behind his dy was that you couldnt receive the 500% EXP bonus of a Hero in this Cave of Training, and thus revealed was his pure ability, which was at a truly miserable level. What if Earth was teeming with such fellows?
This is bad news bears
I prayed with all my heart until ssmate A, who had been added as arade in a natural way, arrived at the caves exitprayed for Earth to hold up until my return.
*
*
*
Finally out!
A cry of joy left the mouth of ssmate A, whosebat uniform from Earth had been reduced to rags. He hadnt so much as even nced towards the entrance to a more difficult stage, but immediately ran to the caves exit instead. Apparently, that was how much of a hard time he had. He must have died a huge number of times along the way.
I patted the shoulder of the fellow, who was shedding tears of emotion, and responded to his outburst.
Yeah. Now that the tedious trainings at an end, lets go kill the Demon King right away.
Demon King? Pedonar?
My friend. Do you have any problems with that?
Now was the best time to act, as we had good Level for taking down the Demon King; however, ssmate A didnt seem to agree.
Problems? A bunch! What kind of Heros adventure ends when not a month has passed since his summoning? In the first ce, how am I supposed to defeat the Demon King with this Level?!
Hm
I chose to keep my mouth shut this time as well.
I didnt want to be noticed as a fantasy world old-timer.
?Correction: Cadet Kang Han Soo is a 17 years old fermented wine.
Ssh, Miss Trainee Teacher! Thats a secret to be taken to the grave.
Hansoo, do you remember what I told you before?
At that moment, ssmate A asked a strange question and so I asked back.
What?
The story about me winning over the northern continents aloof Ice Princess. Ill take this chance to give you a demonstration. Shes a princess whos just as beautiful as that priestess you im to be a resident you have no ties with! Heheh.
ssmate A, who had escaped the Cave of Training, thus yelled at me in a challenging manner. He was apparently envious of the hot water bottle I had discarded at the cave.
By the way, that Ice Princess is
Boom!
Even before I could finish speaking, a pure-white and gigantic beingnded beside me, causing a gust of wind, and let loose a powerful roar.
Quuuu-!
A d-dragon?!
After calming down the deathly pale ssmate A, I introduced my pet.
This silly dragon is called Baekgu.
Quu!
It was slightly regrettable to say, but the princess who ssmate A was intending on winning over had already been traveling together with us since several days backif she wasnt digested yet.
Taming a dragon of all things s-still, my Ice Princess is more
How about giving up?
That princess personality wasnt much to speak of and her Status was poor as well.
Grr! Kang Han Soo! Letspete! To see whosepanion is more amazing!
As you wish.
I didnt go so far as to dissuade him.
Dreams and hopes were important, after all.
Chapter 76 - ‘Cause you’re my woman!
Chapter 76: Cause youre my woman!
ording to ssmate A, Earth had undergone a tremendous upheaval as ofte, caused by therge-scale raid of the ridiculously powerfulbat androids called Valkyries lead by aliens.
It was from that point on that the role of the Heroes rose to prominence. Although Africa and Australia, who were utterly without any preparation, easily fell at the start, the rest of the continents seeded in fending off the aliens by the power of love and friendship. They were apparently in the midst of dealing with the Valkyrie remnants
I see.
Perhaps the power of love and friendship, which the teaching staff so emphasized, was far stronger than I had expected? Or was that group of aliens a separate organization from the First Hero? Whatever the case, Icked too much information at present.
I didnt need to bother putting in effort to grow close with ssmate A, as the fellow rattled on of his own ord as we flew together on Baekgus back. Was this the so-calledpetitive spirit? I couldnt see the end of ssmate As bragging along with giving other bits of information.
However, I listened to it all while adequately throwing in words of encouragement because he gave more information regarding Earth than I had thought I would get. Of course, it wasnt like this from the start; half of ssmate As idle talk had been about his girlfriend, but ever since glimpsing the priestess and bing humble, hepletely avoided any topic rted to women. Thanks to that, his talk was automatically filtered to output useful information.
To describe how I beat the two Valkyries abandoned at my apartment
ssmate Asbat prowess counted among the upper-middle rank on Earth. But as this was what he imed himself, when slightly taking out his self-love and exaggeration, I guessed him to be around the middle rank.
I confirmed his Status for the second time.
?Race: Arch-Human

While he wouldnt end up getting his hide tanned whichever vige or city inhabited by Fantasias barbarians he went to, it was fact that he was weak to the point of needing to stake his life in an encounter with even the mostmon middle-ss demon. It was hard to say that his Status was good. Honestly put, he was lesser than even my useless formerpanions.
He shouldnt be unaware of this fact, as he was an experienced individual with 3 years adventuring under his belt, yet nevertheless ssmate A was full of confidence. To exin the reason for that simply
If you will, Miss Trainee Teacher!
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 734
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Taming(SS) Hallucination(S) Curse(S) Religious Conversion(B) Charm(E) Energy(E) Brainwashing(F)
?Condition: Good
Oh! Miss Trainee Teachers doing work!
?Boo: Ive always been working! Though I couldnt be of help in the Cave of Training since I cant enter!
At present, my Status as visible to others was odd and this was precisely the reason why ssmate A could hold out his chest before me in his own way despite hiscking Level. My disyed Skill set was truly all over the ceit was hard to expect any synergy or the like from it.
The reason for this was that only the Skills and number of Levels I had raised in this ythrough was shown, but this was only considering when ck-Box wasnt activated. As for the truth?
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)

?Condition: Holy Sword, Saintess
Even though ck-Box was activated, the number of Skills I had, formerly as numerous as the stars in the Milky Way, had be greatly reduced due to having done away with them all in order to limit breakthrough Dark Energy to Z-rank. Still, I had left all the important Skills, and as I had achieved Z-rank in Dark Energy, I didnt feel much regret. Although there was still the Skill that had no relevance to the others, that was a trivial matter.
Quuuu-!
ssmate A and I rode Baekgu and returned to Snowy Mountain M again. I did think it a waste of time toe meet someone that didnt exist, but I didnt show it on the outside as ssmate A was beside me.
Rx your expression, Kang Han Soo.
What about it?
My expression was serene as ever.
When I look at your face right now, I feel like even the Demon King almost seems like a good character inparison.
Thats harsh!
Look into a mirror before you Gasp! Whys the mountaintop like that?!
ssmate A was astonished upon seeing the fortress where the Ice Princess lived in and I could understand how he felt a little. After all, the entire ce had beenid waste to during the battle between me and the cat giant, who had been hiding in the vicinity. Even the previously M-shaped peak of the mountain had been ttened. As for the fortress it was a pile of stones buried in snow.
Thump!
For starters, wended atop the the fortress ruins. Feeling a prick at my conscience, I pretended to give a suggestion to ssmate A while surreptitiously changing the topic.
How about searching for the Sages Staff first?
As ording to ssmate As method, that stick was effective on the Ice Princess and so I thought: how about starting from procuring the Sages Staff?
ssmate A, who had been looking about the copsed fortress ruins, replied while shaking his forefinger from side to side.
Tsk-tsk, you dont know what youre talking about. The effect drops if you hand over the staff right away. First, Ill nt the seeds of hope by exining theres a way to control her power from going out of control. By doing that, shell be impatient like a child pestering for a toy.
Hooh?
Such a brilliant taming method?
While ssmate A was most definitely ame Hero, as befitting a graduate, there was a bit to be learned from him.
Seems like youve grasped it, too. Thats right. So, we have to start by finding the Ice Princess for now. I dont know the cause, thoughwhy did this ce change like this? It wasnt like this at all before my regression is it a butterfly effect? Hansoo, is there anything that urs to you?
Nope.
I saw nothing.
Mm?
Hiik?!
I discovered a person that was hiding in the Ice Princess exclusive toilet. Although I couldnt properly see their face, as the person hid the moment our eyes met, that charming voice I heard through the snowstorm was familiar.
The damage urred from the battle at the fortress hadnt extended to the toilet, the toilet full of the princess you-know-what, thanks to it being far off in a covert location.
Where are you going so suddenly, Hansoo?
I found something.
Dodging ssmate As question, I headed for the toilet. It was between the gap of a split boulder, so narrow as to be difficult to enter unless you were a child or a woman with a good figure. Of course, having too good of a figure would result in being stuck. Like the Demon Kings daughter, Ssosia? The Ice Princess wasnt as good as that.
Hey. Come out right now from the toilet, unless you want to be munched to bits by a dragon.
Hiik?! Yes!
I took my time examining the woman who groaned her way out from between the boulders gap. Although she lookedpletely like a beggar, it wasnt so bad to the extent of being unrecognizable due to her being too good-looking by nature. That white hair and sky-blue eyes of hers she was the missing Ice Princess.
I took the first move before she acted like she knew me.
Pleased to meet you. Im Hero A, and this heres Hero B. Youre that famous Ice Princess, arent you? If youre going bare your nails like an aggressive white cat, youd better be resolved to have them all pulled off.
Brainwashing(F)Brainwashing(E)
+ ckmail(F)
+ Threaten(F)
The ranks of my Skill rose following my urate judgement. That much was fine, but how was it that I gained proficiency in something I didnt even do and obtained new Skills as well? Though of course, it wasnt like I was unhappy with that.
Kang Han Soo! What did you find Isnt that the Ice Princess?!
Havinge over a beatte, ssmate A grew wide-eyed, while the Ice Princess elegantly lifted the ends of her utterly ripped skirt with both hands and gave a polite greeting.
A pleasure to meet you, Heroes. I have shown you an unseemly sight, as I have recentlye under attack by an unidentified foe, but as you might have guessed, I am indeed the woman called the Ice Princess.
I had almost let slip my hand holding the scimitar, but right before that happened, the grip of my hand grew firm again, its mood be good at the Ice Princess wise response.
An attack by an unidentified foe do you have any guesses regarding this?
ssmate A so asked while feigning worry for the Ice Princess.
None at all.
The brainwashed princess gave a denial, shaking her head from side to side.
Is that so. In any case, dont worry any more, Princess. I know the way to control your power from going out of control. Please endure here until I obtain the means. Ill be right back! Please believe in this Hero!
Do, do you speak truly?
Of course!
While there was the unforeseen event of the Ice Princess home being destroyed, it seemed that the strategy of ssmate A, who pushed onwards straightforwardly without being shaken, managed to have effect.
p! Boom-.
Baekgu also leaped near us, pping his wings.
Hiik-?!
Upon sighting the silly white dragon, the Ice Princess hugged herself and began to tremble. Apparently, even if brainwashed, the fear engraved in her heart by the dragons maw couldnt be easily shaken off. Seeing her like this, I took long strides towards the Ice Princess side. But at that moment
Hey! Kang Han Soo! Be careful! No matter how high our Levels, the Ice Princess chill is on a different dimension! Youll be frozen solid if you dont have chill resistance in your Skill Huh?
ssmate A once again wore a dumbfounded look in the midst of warning me.
It feels cold.
I gave my short impression while caressing the Ice Princess with my left hand that wasnt holding the scimitar, from her cheek to chin and finally, her neck. Being a hot water bottle might be impossible, but perhaps she could be an ice pack substitute instead? Of course, I had intended on snapping her neck immediately if she rudely unleashed her chill, but she didnt go wild.
Losing control was an instinct.
Fear was also an instinct!
Both were instincts, but her fear prevented her from going out of control and stabilized the Ice Princess by force. In the first ce, seeing as I had hunted the cat giant who had been making her go wild, it wasnt difficult to judge who was on top. The Ice Princess obediently epted my touch.
Tha-, tha-, that!
ssmate A stammed while gesticting from behind.
Looks like her powerse under control due to my persuasion. I dont think well really need the Sages Staff?
No way
Yes way. Look. Isnt she well-behaved?
I proceeded to rub at the Ice Princess like she were a geniemp, but she remained still and didnt go out of control. Although I did hear a bit of a lewd, high-pitched noisee from her as she twisted her legs, that was a trivial matter that could be overlooked as flirting.
No way
ssmate A was absentminded as he continued to repeat the same words over, and in the end he even said this.
Kang Han Soo! Remove that hand! Shes mine!
Summoning forth Holy Sword 3, ssmate A pointed at the Ice Princess as he revealed his intense desire to possess. Seeing the fellow act as such, I gave a chuckle as I corrected him.
Calm down. Shes nobodys belonging. Wheres the sense in arguing the ownership of a woman youve just met? Dont be like a fantasy barbarian.
Just met? Dont make meugh!
Having lost his head, ssmate A began to yap away. The Ice Princess habits, erogenous zones, preferences, secrets Out of ssmate As mouth was exposed a series of embarrassing private details and secrets of a woman that couldnt be known unless you were in an intimate rtionship with her.
H-how do you?!
As he continued to ramble on, the Ice Princessplexion, which was already white to begin, turned even whiter.
Huffing with rage, ssmate A gave a deration in reply.
Cause youre my woman!
Cr-crack-!
And his entire body was frozen solid.
Her primal fear surpassed her acquired instinct to lose control, but it was a sense of humiliation which surpassed that very fear that drove the Ice Princess to act.
Ah I ended up freezing the
Its fine, nothing to be concerned over. He was asking for it.
This was what regression was. Not only your abilities, but all your human rtionships would be reset. Whether ssmate A and the Ice Princess were friends or were married in the 1st ythrough, they were nothing but strangers after having regressed. You needed to know when to draw the line.
When you act thoughtlessly like that with no regard for the feelings of a very sensitive woman, you would have no right toin even if you suffered harshly. Women were extremely delicate creatures, after all. It was necessary to approach them with care, like when sitting on a slime-type toilet.
?Incredulous: I dont think youre one to say that, Cadet Kang Han Soo
What about me, Miss Trainee Teacher?
I cleanly gave up on ssmate A, who was eliminated in an absurd fashion. While I could easily resurrect him by summoning Saintess H, it was obvious he would go bonkers again the moment he woke. It was better to outright leave him be.
Dont mind Hero B, Princess.
Um, Sir Hero? If I could go down to the vige to get some proper clothes or at least be given some time to wash up
The Ice Princess so asked me.
When did I say I was going to take you along?
What?
Are you without feet, without eyes? Find the vige yourself. Buy your clothes with your own earnings, too.
T-that cant be
Our rtionship came to an end here. If it wasnt to humor ssmate A, we wouldnt have even met again like this.
Baekgu, lets go!
Quuuuu-!
I rode on Baekgu and immediately proceeded towards the Demon Kings castle.
The moment of graduation wasnt far off now.
Chapter 77 - Two Heroes!
Chapter 77: Two Heroes!
?Advice: Its said that repeating the mistake of a day bes a fault. Although you did use violence against the princess in the 6th ythrough, you didnt abandon her, did you? And what will you do about the golem you ordered at the Magic Kingdom?
Every point made by Miss Trainee was extremely acute and I couldnt think up any words to retort with.
Nng Right. There mustnt be mistakes.
I couldnt mistake the process if I wanted to reenact the triple-A grade in the 6th ythrough, but if I were to meet the Demon King like this, it was possible that my report card would turn out differently. That was the one thing I had to avoid.
Baekgu, turn around.
Quuu-!
I changed courses in the midst of flying to the middle continent in high spirits.
Once again I returned to the summit of Snowy Mountain M and there I saw ssmate A, who was frozen solid while thoughtlessly disclosing the secrets of a woman. Dropped next to him was Holy Sword 3, whose contract was released due to his death. I first collected the sword.
(Pleased to make your acquaintance, Sir Hero! Do not be surprised, as my voice ising from the sword. I am a noble Elemental residing in the Holy Sword. In ancient times, I was a righteous Hero who stood up against the Demon King.)
Her self-introduction was very much grandiose, even though she was no more than a Hero who was defeated before even glimpsing Demon King Pedonars face. For some reason, though, the way she spoke bothered me, and after pondering on it for several seconds, I realized that Holy Sword 3s manner of speech had be haughtierpared to the 6th ythrough.
(I am utterly disappointed that my previous contractormitted the vulgar act of revealing the secrets of a woman. I hope that you will not)
Hero injected the power of Dark Energy(Z) into wild Holy Sword.
(Kyaaah~?!)
It was amazingly effective!
(I was wrong. Please forgive me, Sir Hero, noMaster. Ill be obedient so please dont hurt me like just now, sob-sob!)
And thus Holy Sword 3 turned servile right away. Still, didnt she have too little grit for a former Hero?
?Example: You can think of what you did like having put a person into a front load washing machine mixed with synthetic detergent and poop~
That cant be helped then!
I wouldve also gone mad if I went through the same thing.
?Warning: Cadet Kang Han Soo! Its not good to put yourself down like that. Youve already been living 7 years in a body mixed with Divinity and Dark Energy, havent you?
Come to think of it, yeah?
Although it was thanks to ck-Boxs effect of being immune to chaos, I decided to chalk it up to me being great for now.
Afterward, I collected Holy Sword 3 which had turned docile. I did consider briefly whether to resurrect ssmate A, who had frozen to death while provoking his lover in his previous life, but as no other Hero had appeared in the 6th ythrough, I decisively chose to exclude this variable. As for what to do next?
Baekgu. Find the princess.
Quu!
It wasnt hard searching for her from above in the sky; I spotted one woman among the pure-white snow-covered ground. The Ice Princess, who had solved her power from going out of control, was destely trudging down the mountain, heading for the closest vige as I had expected.
?Curious: Cadet Kang Han Soo. How did you know the princess would be going down this way?
You curious, Miss Trainee Teacher?
?Affirmative: Yes! Im honestly curious!
It was extremely simple. In my 1st ythrough, the vige where I had ignored the dissuasion of my formerpanions and disposed of the Ice Princess was precisely over in this direction.
From that day onwards, my rtionship with thosepanions who had imperfections such as going out of control turned extremely bad, but I didnt feel regret as I had gotten rid of a serial killer and saved the vige. Even now, I couldnt understand why I had to be criticized for this righteous deed that was only proper. But in any case
Thump!
I had Baekgund beside the Ice Princess in question.
Sir Hero?!
Even as she was suddenly taken aback, the Ice Princess turned a gaze that was eagerly expecting up at me. Giving two pats on Baekgus head in an instruction for him to lower it, I spoke.
Get on quickly before I change my mind.
Okay!
The Ice Princess seemed about to go mad from gratitude and she even showed signs of trying to secretly cuddle up to me, like a youngdy heads over heels for an older man driving thetest sports car. She attempted to stick my arm between her cleavage.
Hey. The smells gonna stick to my clothes so stay away.
Im sorry
Keeping someone in suspense and then entertaining their request. This had to be the training method spoken by ssmate A, but I hadnt wanted to intentionally take the trouble of using such a petty method. It was simr to what the teaching staff did to me using a graduation certificate as pretext, after all.
We headed for the Magic Kingdom from Snowy Mountain M.
*
*
*
Although there was a momentary panic at the abrupt appearance of a white dragon above the Magic Kingdoms royal pce, I was able to smoothly get through the matter.
The king came out to give a greeting in person.
Sir Hero always gives me a surprise. Taming a dragon of all things
Its nothing much.
I replied honestly.
All you had to do was hold one by the throat and wipe its memories.
Haha! And you are modest to boot. You havee in good time, Sir Hero. The golem you ordered has beenpleted recen What?! You arecould you be!
The king was astonished at the sight of the Ice Princess beside me. She too recognized him.
Royal Father it is a relief to see you in good health.
Ooh! My daughter!
And thus it became the sudden reunion between father and daughter. I had wondered as to which countrys precious princess she was, but it turned out to be the Magic Kingdom.
On careful thought regarding the order of past events, the timing was just right as well. After the king passed away at the end of his illness and his brother ascended the throne, the line of supplies being sent to his niece living on Snowy Mountain M was cut off. The Ice Princess, who couldnt let herself starve to death, must havee down from the mountain and then lost herself in the vige. I had eliminated her in the 1st ythrough but still, I thought it was a wonder that she endured over a year,pletely cut off from supplies.
Not bad.
What had to be acknowledged, had to be acknowledged; she was a princess with quite the fine tenacity.
Divine Sir Hero! To think that not only did you treat my incurable disease, you also even saved the life of my daughter whom I had half given up on I do not know how I should repay this favor.
Following his moving moment of reunion with the Ice Princess, the king repeatedly bowed his head to me with swollen eyes, to which I responded with a magnanimous smile.
Dont be concerned over it, Your Majesty.
Whatever reward I asked for, all of it would be no more than antiquespared to the modern products of Earth. I also refused to be presented with the princess, since I was going to date a refineddy from my home!
The Ice Princess, who was looking like a beggar, took her leave, practically dragged out by the maids in waiting in order to maintain the dignity of royalty, while I headed for the Magicians workshop together with the king.
Wee, great Hero!
Greetings, divine Sir Hero!
The Pce Magicians who had been converted by the power of my Divinity or Dark Energy gave their greetings. Although their individual ability amounted to a single toe of the Sage, a miracle could still be brought about those toes came togetherlike just now.

It was of superior standard aspared to what the Sage and that muppet made in the 6th ythrough. Now, if I infused Divinity here, it would be an unparalleled creation with the addition of the cheat key called normal attack immunity.
Please wait a moment, Sir Hero. Bring that over.
Yes, Your Majesty.
An attendant brought over a jewelry box at the kings prompt.
I could tell it was something exceptionally valuable at first nce. Most treasures couldnt make a single eyebrow of mine budge, but even I couldnt help changing my expression this time.
This is?
And that was because I had sensed a familiar energy.
I had a golem produced to repay you for saving my life. From using a dragons heart to an Elf Kings Tear although many truly extraordinary materials were required in the making, it was all possible by the authority of the kingdom. However, saving my dear daughter was difficult with the nations power. This is my expression of gratitude for that.
It was apparently a national treasure passed down from the days of when the Magic Kingdom was an empire.
Holy Thank you.
Praise be to the king for his magnanimity, even handing over an ancient treasure for the sake of his daughter!
The king spoke as he opened the jewelry box.
The beautiful Archmage who aided the First Hero of legend was my ancestor. But it is said that as she refused to be the member of a harem, my ancestor gave up on marriage and received this as a farewell gift.
Hooh?
Inside the box was a violet jade. As a gemstone, it somewhatcked exterior beauty, but I was able to immediately recognize this stones true value.
Suddenly, the sounds of a wicked inner voice rang inside my mind.
(I want to kill that indecent Saintess and princess!)
(Look at me only! Ignore those stupid women around you!)
(Why dont you realize my sincerity?)
(Love is like magic. Goodbye.)
Was this the voice of the ancestor whom the Magic Kingdoms king had mentioned? It depicted the transition from hot love to cold hatred, just like whimsical magic.

Though I didnt give a squat so long as my Skill rank rose!

The reason why the country with the most advancements in magic in the world of Fantasia, which even had the past achievement of unifying the northern continent, had been reduced to its current miserable state was none other than this national treasure. Its royals ended up walking the path of ruin under the influence of this gemstone. The kings incurable disease, the Ice Princess uncontroble power, the princes dull-wittedness that ancestor had caused trouble for her descendants.
Unbelievable
Shp! Shp!
I opened the lips of the golem which stillcked a soul and fed it the national treasure, then stuck Holy Sword 3 into the socket which was nicely open wide for insertion. With this, the final steps toplete it had been taken.
The golem which contained the soul of the past Hero opened its eyes.

My master!
Holy Sword 3, who had been moved at being granted a body, answered firmly. Even her expression was colorful, even though it was a golem.
Well then
I released Holy Sword 3s summon.
A Hero couldnt possess two or more Holy Swords. That being the case, what would happen by possessing a golem that held a Holy Sword?
The result came out immediately.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Hero(EXP 500%)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Blessing(Z) Dark Energy(Z) Fabrication(SSS) Taming(SS)
?Condition: Holy Sword, Saintess, Golem
Golem was added to my Condition. Although a glitch-like situation of a Hero possessing a Hero had urred, I was greatly satisfied as it was an experiment with this as the goal, to begin with.
My preparations had ended.
Shall we set off for real this time?
Sir Hero! Just a moment!
Having washed and dressed swiftly with the help of the maids, the Ice Princess cried out anxiously as she ran over this way. Her moist skin and hair, and thin one-piece they made for a rather good effect.
Why?
At least one night
And thus after I helplessly deigned to use a certain ice pack for a day, I charged towards the Demon Kings castle on Baekgus back.
This time, not even Miss Trainee Teacher stopped me.
*
*
*
I had broken in to the Demon Kings castle alone 5 times already. Having unintentionally grasped perfectly the structure of the castle, I boldly jumped down from the sky instead of going through the front gate.
Crash-!
O Chosen Hero! I did not expect as much as a courteous knock, but is it not good manners to use the door made for entering?!
The Demon King so reproached me upon my entering by smashing through the ceiling.
Is that important right now?
Chwaa-
I imitated the demeanor of the Demon King by emanating pitch-ck Dark Energy which had reached the transcendental domain from all over my body.
Having realized my intent, the Demon King burst withughter.
Haha! Challenging me, the pinnacle of all evil, with evil! O Chosen Hero, I shall teach you clearly just how foolish it was to have abandoned the power of love and friendship to choose Dark Energy!
By the way, wheres Ssosia?
How do you know of that childs name? Could it be, that the two of you are in that kind of rtionship? Already, without my knowing O Hero! What rtion do you have with my daughter? Gasp! It cannot be that you two have had a child already, can it? Is it a daughter? A son?
The Demon King rapidly fired off a series of question at me and in doing so, confirmed for me that Ssosia wasnt here. If she was, he would have called her over and directly asked. With this, there was no variable.
SummonTin Can.
I summoned forth Golem D, which held Holy Sword 3.
?Reproach: Calling such a beautiful android as Tin Can
Dont mind the trifling name, Miss Trainee Teacher. Rather than that, how will the Demon Kings penalty apply when there are two Heroes?
?Bewildered: I, I wonder? Because its also my first timeing across this
Miss Trainee Teacher was perplexed, but there was no need to even scold her on why she didnt know; the answer was already clear by looking at the Demon King staggering from the aftereffect of his Level dropping more.
A Hero being a golem?
The Demon King was shocked at there suddenly being two Heroes, but I gave him no time to adjust. I didnt want to make a humiliating mistake like I did in the 6th ythrough, after all.
Lets go!
Yes, Master!
This was no power of love and friendshipit was the power of science, analyzing the enemys weak points and urately targeting them.
Purk! Purk!
Kuugh-?!
Holy Sword 2 and Holy Sword 3 pierced through Demon King Pedonars body. As the penalty wasnt as weakened like it was in the 6th ythrough, he was no match for me.
?Sir Hero, has your adventure been enjoyable?
Hm. A tiny bit?
?The path of a true hero is truly difficult, but you formed countless bonds with others which encouraged you who did not lose your hopes and dreams. From them you learned friendship and love, and after maturing together with them you defeated the wicked Demon King atst. Congrattions, truly!
?Shall we look at your grading now?
Atst, it was time to return to Earth.
Chapter 78 - Bye fantasy! Hello Earth!
Chapter 78: Bye fantasy! Hello Earth!
?Please check your report card carefully!
?Name: Kang Han Soo
?Combat Ability: SS
?Achievement: B
?Reputation: B
?Character: B
?Note: This punk got B-grade? Somethings wrong about this!
Tsk-tsk. Give it up.
No matter how much the Fantasy God insisted something was up by himself, my innocence and brilliance was heeded by the sky and witnessed by the earth.
Having in Demon King Pedonar with ease, mybat ability was SS-grade. This grade was as I had expected, but the three other subjects didnt turn out badly either. Triple B. I guessed that my grade in achievement fell as I had omitted to conquer the northern continent and intentionally avoided hunting so as to lower my Level. My reputation had likewise fallen, as the time I had spent in the ythrough had been far too short for rumors to spread. Even if it hadnt been as long as 7 years like in the 6th ythrough, had I had at least several months, I would have gotten an A-grade. But as for character I didnt quite get why it was dropped.
?You have passed.
Passed!
It was sweetness to my ears, like a celestial melody.
?Congrattions on your graduation.
?Certificate: The above student always adventured with earnesty and practiced righteous good deeds of his own ord. Furthermore, he became a role model for the natives of Fantasy by always caring for and giving way to hispanions. Therefore, the above student is to be appointed an A-rank Hero. Sincere congrattions on graduating.
I was appointed a B-rank Hero back in the 4th ythrough, where my graduation was put on hold due to an unfair judgement, but this time I received an A-rank. In all honesty, I didnt care whether I got C-rank or D-rank. I only wanted to be sent back to Earth a minute, even a second faste
?Beginning graduation ceremony.
A graduation ceremony of all things?! Lets be real now and not do something like having the principal give a speech!
?The teaching staff are pleased at your graduation.
?Specialist instructors disciplinary probation will be lifted.
?Job Hero will be revoked.
?Weapon Holy Sword will be retrieved.
?Condition Student will be removed.
Like the other graduates I had met during the Hero Festival, I too lost the education-purpose Job Hero, but all that was actually taken back was the Job. I didnt possess the training aid Holy Sword that was smeared with automatic features, to begin with, and I wasnt even aware of the Condition Student. Things were going ording to my calctions, but at that moment
?Principals speech.
Really? Not kidding? Please, keep it short.
?Speech: I sincerely congratte you on graduating with excellent grades when you must have been unfamiliar with the elementary education curriculum. I cannot help but feel a tremble every time I witness an outstanding graduate. I give a few words of entreaty to you, who will soon be taking the first step out into the world. First, go out into the world and meet new love and friendship. The bonds you have built up here are precious also, of course, but think of where you must truly beyour family and hometown are awaiting you. Second, foster hopes and dreams as you have been doing. A journey with no desired destination will be wearisome in no time. Fix your gaze on the high mountains and go forth without fear. Third, do not forget the knowledge learned and beautiful memories made in this unfamiliar world. They will protect you from the trials and hardships that will someday find you like destiny. There will be nothing to worry about so long as you do not forget the teachings until now, because you are a graduate that we have acknowledged. (Omitted). One morestly. No matter how tough the going gets, how lonely you be, never give up. As long as you do not give up, the teaching staff will always be by your side. There was a time when the staff were also students. They know your heart better than anybody else. If the seniors lead their juniors, and the juniors support their seniors in harmony, we will be capable of doing anything. Have courage and strive forward with strength. Once again, I sincerely congratte you.
Is it finally over?
He had gone on and on, unnecessarily so. At my middle school graduation ceremony, my homeroom teacher had said, Contact me if you run into any difficulty! but we never contacted each other to meet. Rather than not having the chance, I simply didnt?
In the future, I wasnt going to even take a leak in the direction of Fantasia, though I didnt know what direction that was.
Barbaric fantasy! Lets not ever meet again!
?Sniff: I feel relieved yet sad, Cadet Kang Han Soo. Congrattions.
Of course, Miss Trainee Teachers an exception! Call me whenever youre missing the strong chest and arms of a man. If its you, Ill give at least a nights sleep regardless of face and figure.
?Pout: Im popr myself, Ill have you know?! Though by no means does that mean Ive slept with many men before! Cadet Kang Han Soo. Please refrain from saying things thatll cause misunderstandings! Huh? Didnt I say something simr previously as well? Anyway! Please take care in front of other women too!
Miss Trainee Teacher had been guarding my side for almost 8 years since the 4th ythrough, though I couldnt remember most of that time as I was frozen the entire 6th ythrough. We had a special rtionship, in a way, and seeing how we were going to part like this, I did feel a bit sad.
Well Im sure Ill totally forget her as I meet with some refineddies of Earth!
?Ending graduation ceremony.
Oh beloved Earth, Kang Han Soo ising for you right now.

Blinking, I opened my eyes that had been blurry for a moment.
A city covered in sooty smoke, far yonder, was caught in my sight, but it was no shabby city of a fantasy world. There I saw towering buildings of artificial concrete and ss, as numerous as the trees in a forest.
It was a modern city I was seeing again after a whole 17 years. Night had long fallen, yet the city alone was shining. No, even the road leading to that city was illuminated by streetlights. While the stars of the sky werent visible, hidden by the thick, dirty smoke, the city itself sparkled bright like a jewel boxa spectacle that could never be seen in a fantasy world. Even the Sages Tower, which had magic that was advanced to the utmost at its disposal, wasnt able to achieve such a night view.
Hooooph!
I inhaled deeply and felt an unpleasantness, as if my lifespan would shorten even if I merely sat still breathing. It was definitely the smell of the polluted air I remembered from my home, but being careless was taboo. I steadily gazed with sharp eyes at the night sky. When I concentrated, there was no constetion that I couldnt see with my vision that surpassed even that of an astronomical telescope.
I could see the constetions I had learned about during earth science lessons; Scorpio, Sagittarius, Pris
And thest was the one and only pure-white moon.
Ive reallye back-! Hahaha!
I spread out both arms as if yelling hurray and flopped onto my back. A part of me felt the need to run home straightaway, yet I also thought there was no need to rush since I had arrived like this. I wanted to appreciate this deep feeling of joy a little more.
My nose stung even as it tickled, and perhaps some dust had gotten into my eyes, as tears threatened to burst from them.
Chwaaa-!
I suffocated all the grass bugs loitering about my vicinity, oblivious to my mood, by using Dark Energy. It was a subconscious action on my part and it seemed there was no trouble regarding my abilities. If I hade back here to my home Earth, only to be faced with something like Everything was a dream!, the back of my head would have smarted with pain.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Jobless(EXP 110%)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Blessing(Z) Dark Energy(Z) Fabrication(SSS) Taming(SS)
?Condition: Holy Sword, Saintess, Golem
There was no issue aside from Job. No, in fact, the range of choices avable to me regarding that had be extremely wide thanks to the trash Job Hero disappearing. The first thing that came to mind was Thief as expected, what I considered to be the strongest Job. Coming with the perk of increasing luck against the weak, when coupled with Holy Sword 2s amplification, it proved to exhibit an outrageous effectiveness. For starters, I made obtaining the Job Thief as my highest priority goal.
No more worries from now! Its the start of happiness!
Earth still felt unfamiliar, as I had spent a whole 17 years away from it, but I would be able to get through it all without a problem so long as the energy of the universe helped out.
The feeling of having returned still lingering in my body, I heaved myself up and slowly took in my surroundings, to first get a hold of my current location. I didnt entertain any idolent thoughts such as Since Ive returned to Earth, of course Ive gotta be somewhere in Korea.
An English-speaking country?
The signs on the road were written in the alphabet, the mostmonly used letters on Earth. Reading them in of itself wasnt difficult, thanks to the knowledge I had learned during foreignnguage lessons, but I couldnt tell where I was at the present since I was unfamiliar with the name of the ce I read.
However, I decided not to ponder on it for long, as Id be able to automatically find out by going to that city off in the distance. Interpretation(A) would take care of thenguage barrier by itself, and there were quite the plenty of gold coins in my pocket and Storage which could be used anywhere across the world.
But at moment
Fwooo~!
A storm began to blow all of a sudden and the cars and buses rushing towards the city along the dark road all came to a stop in the middle. Some drivers opened the door of their vehicle toe out.
This wasnt because of the storm; the causey up in the night sky.
A shooting star? No, thats
Crash! Kaboom! Boom! Rumble!
Some of objects falling down on the faraway city were intercepted by anti-aircraft guns, magic and so on in midair, and exploded like firecrackers or plummeted like moths on fire, but those made for no more than an extremely small fraction.
The majority of the objects arrived on the ground.
And rammed into the ground like stakes.
Booom-!
One of them fell before me as well.
Tssss
A crater was formed, covered in mes and smoke, and calmly walking out from its center was a beautiful woman wearing a skin-tight crimson suit that resembled one-piece swimwear, with a ck long coat over her shoulders like a cape. And she held a lightsaber in her right hand!
I gazed interestedly at the woman that came charging over like a fighting cock.
Is this a Valkyrie?
I could tell right away just by seeing its Status.
?Race: Chaos Golem
?Level: 700
?Job: Warrioress(CharmFighting Skill)
?Skills: Fighting Skill(A) Divinity(A) Charm(A) Self-Destruct(A)
?Condition: Demon Sword, Activation
It went againstmon sense to have merely 4 Skills at that Level. There were steps to everything, after all, even when it came to golems. For example, Swordsmanship without Stamina would ruin the body. Magic without Magic Power would outright be unable to manifest, and ckmail and Threaten were an inseparablebination However, the other side wasnt ordinary.
Chaos, huh doesnt feel like a stranger.
sh-
I bisected the Valkyries slender waist using Holy Sword 2, and Oil and electrical wires shot out from the cut instead of blood and guts. The thing was somewhat far from being a precise machine, however; its form was fixed by applying ster over metal mesh. In construction terms, it was called ferrocement. Whatever the case, it wasnt a pure machine either.
Kaboom-!
And it even self-destructed without hesitation!
I was fine, but my surroundings had be scorched within an instant. I did feel like I heard the screams of Spectator A and Foreigner B but I must have been imagining it.
I finally came back from a fantasy world, but this time its science fiction?
A sense of weariness came over me, as this wasnt what I hade back to Earth for. My dream was a life of being fed meals cooked by a refined girl wearing only an apron in a cosy country house from where a beach resort was visible.
Masters dream is vulgar.
Golem D, who I had summoned to task with the bothersome clean-up work, threw a wet nket over my thoughts.
Tin Can. If you dont want to get scrapped, get on with the fratricide.
Isnt that a heavy way of putting it?!
Even as Golem D grumbled, she dealt with the iing Valkyries using Holy Sword 3. If a third party who knew nothing about the situation were to look on from afar, it would make for a bizarre scene of a beauty ughtering beauties.
It wasnt before long that the air raid of the Valkyries died down, but the traces of battle remained as they were. Due to the androids self-destructing whenever their defeat seemed certain, this area had now be an empty wilderness that couldnt even be described as a ruins.
I feel a bit worried.
Could this sort of happening be frequent on Earth?
The fight over at the city seemed to have been settled somehow, but the state of things was so severe that even from far away, I could see some buildings had copsed and a fire had broken out. I needed thetest information on Earth, and it just so happened that a bunch of fellows just right for some questioning was approaching. They were riding a VTOL aircraft, was it called? It was faster than most dragons.
Shwoo-
The VTOL aircraft that flew above my head began to slowly lower its altitude. While I was having outrageous thoughts such as What would happen if I shot it down right now?, the transport ne hadnded on this empty stretch ofnd and its passengers alighted one after another. Their average Level was 600. They were a rabble whose Skill sets were even more pathetic than their Levels, the typical Earthling graduates. The Status of the woman who stood at their head like a leader, however, was quite outstanding.
A Sorcerer? Thats an umonly seen Job.
And her figure was umonly excellent as well.
At that moment, the female Sorcerer met my gaze and smiled with her eyes as she drew near without hesitation, then suddenly acted like we were close.
We meet again! I told you before, didnt I? That Id find you no matter where you hide on Earth. Still, I was surprised. To think you could evade my intelligencework for a whole 6 months. But what came over you to show yourself all of a sudden?
Are we, acquainted?
The womans eyes grew wide with fury at my words.
Come on, how could you have forgotten that day? Even though I can still remember it like it was yesterday.
That day?
Aha!
Did you finally remember?
Youre that pretty Sorcerer who achieved that amazing feat there on that day, arent you? Its nice to meet you again.
You regrly get called annoying, dont you?
Nope.
I had yet toe across someone saying that twice.
Chapter 79 - In the middle of the Pacific Ocean
Chapter 79: In the middle of the Pacific Ocean
We got on the VTOL aircraft and moved quickly, but I didnt get the feeling of flying. What was flight to me? A way of transportation where your face was exposed to wind so cold as to cause frost, anding with it a sense of giddiness knowing that a misstep or letting go of the means of flying would directly lead to death. It wasnt sofortable as sitting like this.
The leather of amon high-quality sofa in Fantasias continents was stuffed with either wool or feathers in order to make it cushiony.
Boing-boing.
They didnt contain springs like the one I was sitting on at this moment. The power of ergonomics cosily wrapped my buttocksah, what ecstaticfort!
Is it to your liking?
The female Sorcerer so asked me, sitting oppose me and leaning against the back of another cushy sofa with her legs stretched out and crossed.
Somewhat.
I did feel a slight difort mentally and not physically, due to the feeling of suddenly having entered an unsuitable environment. Just looking at the inside of the aircraft, it was morefortable and splendid than any carriage of a Fantasian great emperor. If I had to describe it
It was like amoner sitting on a flush toilet with a bidet installed VS an emperor crouched over a gold chamber pot.
It was the difference of living standard divided by civilization, which I didnt dislike. I felt a sense of liberation, of my body and heartwhich had be used to the lifestyle in that barbaric fantasy world where ergonomics and safety regtions were tossed into the trashcanbeing cleansed. I had the thought that this was the life befitting a cultured man, that this was what I had put in so much effort for.
What will you drink? C, beer, wine, orange juice Ah! Theres also fresh milk produced from a clean region in Denmark.
I unhesitantly made my choice at the female Sorcerers question.
C.
I had tasted plenty of high-quality beer, wine and the like even in Fantasias continents. Even if this female Sorcerer could take out good liquor, she wouldnt be able to offer any of the finest goods made in the eighties or whatnot. That wasnt the only reason, however; there was no way to procure carbonated drinks in Fantasia. While I did have several opportunities to try natural carbonated water, that was closer to health goods rather than soft drinks.
Are you still a minor?
And what does that have to do with c.
I was just asking.
The female Sorcerer took out a 500mL c bottle from the small fridge ced next the sofa and handed it over to me, while she took out the banana milk next to the creamy white milk pack for herself. The high-quality wines and beers neglected in the fridge seemed to me as if they were bitterly grieving.
Tsck, gulp.
I wordlessly took a mouthful of c. Beyond the crisp sensation of the liquid refreshingly passing down my throat, the ensuing fizzy feeling presented me with strange delight and deep emotion. As I thought, this is the stuff, I felt the stress umted from that fantasy world being cleanly washed away.
Meanwhile, the female Sorcerer was drinking banana milk.
Gulp-gulp.
I observed as a line of milk messily dribbled from her lips and ran down her slender chin and neck, heading into the deep valley of her cleavage. And then our gazes met.
Mm? Dontugh. Youve got a childish appetite yourself.
The female Sorcerers face turned bright red.
I didntugh.
My expression had eased purely because my mood was good; after all,ing back after 17 years, I found everything on Earth to be beautifulincluding messily dribbled banana milk.
The female Sorcerer had quite the spirit. She had her ownrades seated in themon seats of the first deck below, while she sat alone with just me, face to face, in the VIP seats in the second deck. Was this a disy of her confidence, perhaps?
Mm Now that Ive actually met you, I dont know what would be good to talk about first, even though I prepared a manual in advance.
Having emptied her pack of milk, the female Sorcerer began talking with a light sigh.
Ill ask a question first if youve got nothing to say. At your Level, Miss Sorcerer, how do you rank among the individuals on Earth?
How would you calcte rankings like in a game? When victory or defeat can change in any way depending on your condition of the day, as well as matchups. In particr, a big difference is made for Sorcerers like me depending on how much we invest and prepare. But this isnt the kind of answer youre looking for, am I right? My official rank that covers single and group battles, hunting, versatility and so on is 8th ce.
I examined her Status once again.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Sorcerer(Willpower=Sorcery)
?Skills: Willpower(SS) Sorcery(SS) Swordsmanship(S) Immunity(S) Survivability(A)
?Condition: Doubtful, Expectant, Demon Sword
I thought, wouldnt it be too hard for her to manage to y even a pet of Demon King Pedonar? Yet on Earth she was supposedly the 8th strongest human. In order to make a confirmation, I made a remark with a covert implication.
8th ranking female Hero, isnt that amazing?
Its the overall ranking, though?
With a single line from her, the avable fighting power of Earth I had estimated dropped by more than half.
Really amazing!
Enough with the soullesspliment!
Im not giving you lip service. Have confidence, I tell you.
Are you teasing me? I saw that golem you summoned, destroying dozens of Valkyries with overwhelming ability.
If it couldnt even do that, I ought to send it to the scrapyard.
I had no care for what others did with the power of friendship of love, but for someone to call themselves apanion or subordinate before me, they had to possess worthy skill and capability. She had chosen the wrong thing to make aparison.
This time its my turn to ask. Whats your name? Theres no use even if you hide it at this point. Although I failed during the closing ceremony of the Hero Festival, as there was no chance to leave a video record, right now your face has been properly captured. Plus, thenguage you use is Korean. Itll be easy finding you with the search range narrowed down like this.
Kang Han Soo.
I boldly revealed my name.
I wasnt able to say it during the Hero Festival because I couldnt go back to Earth at the timeI didnt want to be noticed as a fantasy world old-timer, after allbut that was no longer true as I had made it through that unjust, biased grading system. I could be as bold as I wanted.
Im Victoria. Its a bit awkward saying it myself, but Ive been quite famous ever since I started being called by my alias, Yma. Currently, Im active as a technician and businesswoman rather than as a Hero. I made a bit of money through a new technology development business based on thebination of science and magic, and at present Im running a nation-widerge-scale munitions factory and a retailer.
Nice to meet you.
What did I say my name was?
There are limits to ignoring a person. Factoria, isnt it?
Its Victoria! Dont treat a person like theyre a factory!
Right, right.
The female Sorcerer, whom I intended to part ways with after only extracting information from her, bothered me as she harped on and on, but I didnt make the mistake of having my hand slip or grabbing her by the throat, and this was because I was treated to c. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that c had saved her life.
By the way, youre dressed unusually.
Victoria found fault with my fantasy outfit. Thebat uniform I was wearing was prepared from only the best materials from head to toe by the Magic Kingdom, but it couldnt be helped that, in various ways, it didnt fit in with Earths modern sense of fashion. I didnt feel inferior, however, as I had thought about all this beforehand.
A single tree would stand out, but the vast scene of many trees gathered to form a forest would overwhelm the viewer and thus they wouldnt mind one mere tree.
So I decided to show her.
I have many clothes, you see.
I proceeded to repeatedly take out and put back the clothes I had stored in Skill: Storage. They were precious items which I had taken during the Hero Festival, from the treasury of those wicked angels. Armor, protectors, casual wear, underwear it was a diverse collection of different types, materials and uses.
Heavens
After that, Victory didnt find any fault with my clothes. Instead, bing of a Sorcerer filled with curiosity, she showed deep interest in the clothing of angels. Naturally, I didnt show them to her.
Were we that friendly?
I can understand well enough even if you just say you dont want to show them!
Later on we partook in in-flight meals and rested separately. Victory had wanted to continue talking, but I courteously refused, because
To think this boring movie would get a fourth part
I swiftly went through the movies,ics, news and so on provided in flight using a remote control or touching the screen with a finger. Victoria peeked at my monitor, sitting in the next seat with her bottom surreptitiously stuck to mine, but I didnt particrly mind. Anyone did this much searching when they got a ne, didnt they?
You didnt know they released the fourth part? Its a hugely famous movie, though.
Victory interjected all of a sudden.
Its normal to not know sometimes. Do you count every person youve killed in your life?
Isnt that analogy wrong?!
Its the same in that theyre both pointless.
The year and a halfs time I had lost was much too bone-aching. There was too much that I didnt know; however, in other words, this meant that the number of movies, dramas,ics, novels and so on that had been released during the time I was kidnapped had hugely piled up. These things along would be able to keep me upied for a while. Thinking of it like that, it wasnt necessarily a bad thing.
Before I knew it, we were in the middle of Earths Pacific Ocean.
Hmm
I fell into contemtion after checking the flight path. Until now, I had been obediently riding this VTOL aircraft as it had been flying in the direction of my home country, Korea, but the aircraft was starting to slightly veer off course.
Should I just jump off here?
I would have been called nuts if others heard my thought, but as I had caught a dragon in the skies and gone skydiving frequently before, it wasnt a difficult choice. At that moment, however, Victory spoke up, having noticed my intent.
Mr. Kang Han Soo. Endure it a little, even if its frustrating. Weve almost arrived at our destination.
Almost?
I wondered, was she heading for the ind of Hawaii?
But then Victoria began to give an unasked-for exnation.
The core force of the aliens, Valkyries, have no flight nor swimming capabilities, you see, which is why their air-raids are focused on targetingnd only, and the countermeasure found for that is this naval munitions facility. Its a n to safely produce weapons, and its been quite sessful to this day. The naval city were heading for is the third military base in the Pacific Ocean which Im the chief director of. This VTOL aircraft, which is equipped with a satellite radar and stealth function, was also produced there.
Its well made.
I gave an offhanded response while inwardly thinking The heck is this chick goin on about? because the terms she was using differed too much from thatmonly used in Fantasias continentsthe inside of my head was spinning. Even as I thought to myself, Victorias exnation continued.
Construction technology thatbines science and magic goes beyond imagination. After all, a total of six naval cities were built within a mere year; three in the Pacific Ocean, two in the Antic, and one in the Indian Ocean. If no problems pop up, the n is to keep on increasing them. Politicians and families with conglomerate backgrounds who are condemned for abandoning the people and fleeing to the oceans are living here, but it isnt an overstatement to say that the tax they pay is what makes the munition factories run.
So when are going to arrivDuck!
sh!
A blue sh of light swallowed my vision.
I wasnt merely watching it happen, however; I summoned forth Holy Sword 2 to block the surprise attack, then kicked off the VTOL aircraft, which had been split in half, into the air. What followed after that was a second sh of light, and I couldnt dodge as I had no sure ability to flybut there was no saying that you had to fly yourself.
Rice Cake.
Yes!
Summoned in the blink of an eye like a mirage, Saintess H tightly hugged my waist from behind and thenpletely unfolded her three pairs of wings.
p! p! p!
I was able to deflect the light attack using Holy Sword 2 without having to even dodge. The reason why I had summoned Saintess H despite this was to pursue the culprit behind the attack. I couldnt simply take things lying down, could I?
Fwooo-!
I mixed the powers of Divinity and Dark Energy to give rise to a whirlwind. Saintess H remained still with all her wings unfolded, embracing my body, while I used this artificial wind to control our flight direction and speed; her role was to be a hang glider. Added on top of all this was flight stability through the blessing of wind.
The oceans are safe my ass.
I had no interest in something like the safety of that female Sorcerer, Victoria, who had fed me misinformation. My gaze was fixed on the other side of the clouds.
There I saw a familiar-looking man. Although there was nothing like wings on his back, he was floating in midair by standing atop two artificially formed gray whirlwinds like they were a pair of water skis. He, too, recognized me at a nce.
Youre
You are
That old prince who ran away the other day!
That dastardly Hero I encountered in the Cave of TraininWait! Why do you say Im old?!
You call that a question?
?Race: Old Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Prince(National Power=Willpower)
?Skills: Willpower(Z) Infiltration(Z) Swordsmanship(MAX) Dark Energy(MAX) Tolerance(SSS)
?Condition: Aggrieved, Demon Sword
In the 6th ythrough, I had ended up letting that old prince slip away from me in the Cave of Training. I had constantly felt regretful and ill at ease regarding this, yet never in my dreams did I expect us to meet again like this on Earth. But how did he know I was here? I decided to ask honestly.
Im surprised you found me. Are you a stalker? Or maybe?
Hold that horrible line of thought! I was only drawn by your disordered power of a Hero!
By power of a Hero, was he referring to ck-Box?
But that didnt matter at the moment.
Shall we go for round two?
Ha! I see youre puffed up at having won once!
On this day, the naval cities of the Pacific Ocean came to face an unprecedented crisis.
Chapter 80 - False power
Chapter 80: False power
The old princes Skill set was greatly solid. Although he only had two transcendental domain Skills, he had a veryrge number of Skills that had reached the limit of the ordinary domain, MAX-rank, and SSS-rank. That didnt mean I was at a disadvantage, however; put radically, there was no reason for me, having three Skills at the transcendental domain, to lose the prince who only had two. This was because the transcendental domain didnt simply increase the effect of a Skill.
It stimted something a little more at the essence of it all.
Though even I didnt know exactly what that something was!
Like how Miss Trainee Teacher had said, it had an influence on the way the Skill user existed. To put it simply, the transcendental domain Z-rank effect of a Skill boasted a high-efficiency that overwhelmed that of the ordinary domainat times, to a far greater extent than all of the ordinary domain effectsbined. This was what described a Skill that had reached Z-rank.
Thats definitely how it should be?
Yet I was being pushed back without a doubt. The gap in our strength had shown itself clearly from the first moment our weapons shed.
The old prince swiftly dodged Holy Sword 2, which was enveloped in Divinity and Dark Energy, and the blue lightsaber he had summoned grazed past my chest.
Tik-
The injury was at the level of a slight scratch. My Divinity yed a part in protecting me, but it was more that the attack was far toocking to pierce my skin, highlypressed by theyers of enhancement achieved by Master Mongs teachings. Nevertheless, I was definitely on the receiving end in merely the first exchange.
O new generation Hero, are you not clumsy?
Shut it!
I had expected being pushed back in terms of technical skill from the start. When thinking about it objectively, I had spent a total of 17 yearsor actually 11 yearsin that barbaric fantasy world, but before that I was an ordinary student. In contrast, the old prince had experienced at least hundreds of years of battle, a very long period of time. The difference in ability that came from that couldnt be ignored.
Even in the 6th ythrough, in the Cave of Training, I had taken a one-sided beating for that reason. Although I was able to win thanks to Divinity(Z)s normal attack immunity, I was several levels lower in terms of pure ability. In terms of Skills, though, I was superior.
sh!
I covered my body in Z-rank blessing, added anotheryer of blessing on top, then enhanced that effect with Holy Sword 2s amplification. Preparations done, I took action.
Huh?!
I saw the old prince gasp at having lost track of my movements for one moment.
Even that proud skill of yours is useless if youre slow, isnt it?
I smiledcently as I closed the distance and vertically swung down Holy Sword 2.
The old prince was no easy foe though, as expected. He forced his rtively slower body to twist and dodged to the side.
Chwaa-
The ck and white whirlwind that cut empty air cut a vertical line which extended into the deep ocean. Immediately afterward
And as for you, your Skill is wasted on you.
Trading tit for tat, the old prince flicked the wrist of his right hand holding the lightsaber. Even that light motion contained a subtlety that came from Swordsmanship that had reached SSS-rank and couldnt be carelessly ignoredthe blue lightsaber came jabbing towards my throat. The power behind the attack was threatening, but it was no use if it was slow.
Bam!
I ignored the old princes counterattack andunched a powerful kick at his belly, but his body that was as hard as diamond didnt budge; all that shook was his surrounding.
Booom-
A shockwave so powerful as to distort the atmosphere swiftly spread throughout the entire Pacific Ocean in the shape of a concentric circle.
It was such a powerful kick and yet!
Damned dirty prince! Your Levels as insane as your age!
Even despite holding the upper hand regarding Skill, I couldnt help myself from cursing upon noticing the reason why I couldnt predict my chances of winning.
Its the product of effort, not age!
Sensitively reacting to my outburst, the prince pounced towards me at once and this time he was significantly fast; however, it wasnt enough to catch up to my speed.
Tin Can! Knife!
Its a Holy Sword!
Shut it!
Quickly summoning forth Golem D, I took Holy Sword 3 from it as if stealing and wielded it with my left hand. Now I was holding a Holy Sword each in both hands.
Thats!
The old prince was slightly startled at recognizing Holy Sword 3, with which I blocked his blue lightsaber and made a pretty horizontal cut at his waist using Holy Sword 2.
sh-
I felt the sensation of havingnded a good hitthis time it had struck properly.
Haha! How good!
Dual wielding is a technique that heavily depends on personal style. You might simply think that two swords are better than one, but it isnt as easy to utilize as in theory. For instance, imagine yourself holding a smartphone in both hands and chatting with Lover A and Lover B separately. If you use them well, you could achieve a fantastic multi-tasking feat of raising intimacy with both Lover A and Lover B, but it could also end up being the shortcut to ruin.
Thats what dual-wielding is. So how was I doing with it?
Dual Wield(F)Dual Wield(E)
Just slightly better than a beginner at dual wielding, but that was enough for the present. I had no intention of dragging out the battle; my aim was to pin the opponent down with pure speed and power.
Kugh!
His clothes bloodied and reduced to tatters, the old prince retreated behind dark clouds surrounded by a storm.
Im not letting you get away!
I kept hot on his heels, not giving him distance. It would have been great if I could have cut off a finger or two of the prince, but as my weapons werent satisfactory, I only managed to cut flesh to the extent of revealing some bone. Nevertheless, victory was definitely leaning towards my side.
My gaze met with the frowning princes and I was slightly surprised at how calm he looked despite being in such a disadvantaged situation.
He made a deration in a low tone.
I shall acknowledge you somewhat, O dirty Hero. From now on, I will face you not as a warrior, but as a prince.
Ha! Even if you bluff at this poin Huh?!
The movements of the old prince, who wasnt able to catch up to my speed, suddenly grew fastand overwhelmined mine.
Crack-!
A small crack appeared on Holy Sword 3s de, which I had used to barely block the princes surprise attack using his blue lightsaber.
A red rm red inside my head. Immediately after the man had dered he would fight as a prince and not a warrior, it wasnt only his speed that had increased; his overall abilities had improved.
Just what the hell is Ah!
I recalled the old princes Job.
?Job: Prince(National Power=Willpower)
The stronger the country of this prince, the more his Skill Willpower would be enhanced. However, it was genuinely my first timeing across a case where this kind of effect was so extremejust how amazing a kingdom did he belong to?
The old prince proceeded to speak in a tone which a gamer that had activated a cheat key might use.
Be honored, O Hero. The number of times I have unleashed my Job perk, which I kept sealed due to its too great power, could be counted on a hand.
Ah, is that so.
To speak of a cheat key, I had one myself; I unsummoned Holy Sword 3 and Saintess H, and after activating the Skill Infinite, I unsparingly squeezed out the power I had in me. Divinity, Dark Energy, Battle Spirit, Fighting Skill, Willpower, Swordforce, Magic Power I had many of resource-type Skills. I didnt use these one after another, but all at once.
Fwooosh~!
Holy Sword 2 creaked upon containing the entirety of the resultant force.
That demon butler from the other day had destroyed a Holy Sword using a Z-rank curse, which was possible because the sword was a weakened version with its power divided. The very same restriction and limit applied to this Holy Sword 2, which was why the sword was at its limit from having too much power injected into it, but I didnt stop as it could be useless if I held back.
Is this ce not supposed to be your home?
The old prince asked with puzzlement.
I dont give a damn for an Earth without me!
Our main battlefield, the Pacific Ocean, already resembled a scene of hell. Thunder and lightning in the sky along with a typhoon and whirlwinds was only the start, and there were pirs of water spouting up from everywhere. As tall tidal waves crashed towards all four directions, they swept everything away as if cleaning up.
Rumble-!
Even the submarine volcanoes sleeping in the abyssal depths were exploding in series.
That makes sense.
Wearing a triumphant smile, the old prince took a stance as he distanced himself from me. Was it that he giving me time to gather strength? Or was he also gathering strength to meet me head on? Whatever the case, I didnt refuse his intention.
I had lost my wings upon unsummoning Saintess H, but that didnt result in me plunging into the wild waters of the ocean as I was imitating the old princes flying technique; I had obtained a rocket-like propulsive force through a gray whirlwind formed from the powers of Divinity and Dark Energy colliding. That was what I was using to keep in the air.
I would be able to gather much greater power if I dragged out more time here, but I had no choice as Holy Sword 2 wouldnt be able to withstand it. More than anything, the old princes expression that was unconcerned at whatever I did had been bothering me from a while ago. Using blitz tactics in these sorts of times was the way to go.
Go to hell!
I told you that you are clumsy.
The time of the world began to diminish and even my body, which I had thought wouldnt be affected, gradually slowed to the point where it had practicallye to a stop.
What was going on?
The old princes movements had be as sluggish as mine, yet his face wasnt disconcerted like mine.
Hey. What did you do?
I questioned the calm prince with a re.
This is the polished power of a Hero.
The princes two eyes were burning with a purple light as he answered, like the statue of the First Hero enshrined in the Cave of Training.
He then continued to speak.
Have you never felt doubt? As to the origin of the Skills and Levels given to you. The excessive generosity and favor shown by the transcendental being that granted the system called Status, capable of trampling over an opponent without much effort. Did you not irresponsibly ignore all this, to first enjoy and see how things yed out?
I had constantly felt doubt regarding this myself, but I decided to hold my tongue as I felt the old prince would keep mum if I replied as such. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt, no?
As expected, the old prince turned triumphant and continued to chatter on.
O foolish Hero, listen carefully. Those trifling abilities do not belong to you. Even if you have the power to destroy the gxy in a single breath, it is nothing but a fantasy that will disappear like a mirage if the original owner takes it back. It is no more than a power borrowed from a transcendental being.
Its make believe, you say?
Indeed. A false power.
The prince asserted that these fantasy abilities were fiction, so I gave him a piece of my mind in return.
Look here, you old prince. You call the Levels and Skills of Statuses a false power yet you use them well enough yourself. Isnt that a contradiction then?
Even as we talked, the distance between us was closing. Although we were moving at a snails pace, our false powers were soon going to sh.
The old prince replied to my question in a perfectly calm manner.
This power is very convenient, you see. You can easily be strong by intuition like a game character, and it is even possible to transfer power to others as well. The new generation Heroes call it EXP, was it? That is why I regrly make use of it myself. Mainly, I use it to grant eternal life to females, when I spot one that I like, and keep them by my side until I tire of them. Are you not the same?
Nope.
I had nopanions, let alone a woman.
Is, is that so You are truly a strange one
Right back at you.
The man jabbered on about the power being false to another, yet ultimately he was saying he would continue using it as it was convenient. Wasnt he a scoundrel instead of a prince? In the first ce, would that so-called owner, the transcendental being, even have the intention of taking his own power? And if he did, just how powerful was he or she?
I simply couldnt imagine.
Pzzzt-
Time was almost up and there were only moments before two enormous forces collided! Yet the old prince continued to yap without losingposure.
In truth, there was no need to even talk so much to you like this. But rather than letting you die inplete ignorance, I wanted to see you copse at the realization of being betrayed by the very abilities you had absolute belief in until now.
What a pervert.
Haha! This is the only time you can hold your head so high, relying on the power of another.
Have you never heard? That being long-winded leads to an early exit.
The old prince replied without being shaken by my rebuke.
Wake up from your dreams and hopes, O foolish Hero!
Glint!
The purple brilliance in the old princes eyes exploded everywhere and swallowed not only me, but also this entire area. And immediately afterward
Everything disappeared like it was all a lie.
Chapter 81 - I even have a graduation cert!
Chapter 81: I even have a graduation cert!
My hopes and dreams are really all dead.
I was falling towards the surface of the ocean since I could no longer remain in the air due to my Status, which had been fine until a moment ago,pletely changing.
?Race: Chaos Human
?Level: 1
?Job: ??(B)
?Skills: Divinity(Z) Dark Energy(Z) Blessing(Z)
?Condition: Saintess, ??
ck-Box, which should have been listed in my Skills, had for some reason changed to my Job. Why was it though, I wondered, that it felt like it had only returned to its rightful ce? Had I more time I would have handled this matter with greater depth, but I had lost my wits from the all too abrupt change.
All but the transcendental domain Skills I had obtained in Fantasias continents had disappeared and what had been a perpetually messy list had be empty. Even if they were present, however, things wouldnt have been any betterthe efficiency of my Skills had be the worst due to my Level falling to 1. It felt even worse than being Level 1 right after a regression, to the extent that it could be difficult to expect much from even those Z-rank Skill effects.
As for my Condition, only the Saintess whom I obtained in the Hero Festival remained, while the vanished Holy Sword 2 and Golem D couldnt be summoned. I also couldnt call up ck-Boxs details after it moved from Skills to Job. And then there was the new mosaic, which seemed to be the main cause behind all this.
Was this how it felt to have all four of your limbs chopped off?
Rice Cake.
Yes!
The silver lining amidst this misfortune would be that Saintess H could be normally summoned. She embraced my waist as I was falling towards the ocean and unfolded her three pairs of wings, rising into the sky again. With this, there was no worry of ending up a drifter in the waters below.
I got the feeling as if I had been missing something since a while now
Master?
I tilted my head to the side as I sensed Saintess Hs soft breasts tightly pressed to my back and remembered what had slipped my mind.
Wheres the princ? Huh! Move!
Just as I ordered Saintess H to get away, a youth fell from above my head like lightning, wielding a blue lightsaber in a reverse gripit was the old prince who had disappeared from sight.
?Race: Old Human
?Level: 1
?Job: ??(A)
?Skills: Willpower(Z) Infiltration(Z)
?Condition: Demon Sword, ??
His Status had also changed in an odd way. However, while I wasnt able to summon Holy Sword 2, which I had obtained in Fantasias continents, he on the other hand had a lightsaber for a weapon. In a situation where I couldnt rely on Divinity(Z) and Dark Energy(Z) due to my weakened Level, it would be suicide to try blocking a product of science fiction with my bare hands. But of course
Dont be looking down on me now!
That didnt mean I had the intention to back off. Just as the prince had confidently said, the false power I had obtained from that fantasy world was gone, but I still had the power of science I had learned from my home, and I even had the technique to utilize it.
Master Mong.
Not even for a moment had I forgotten that esteemed slimes teachings.
I first decided to buy time to think; I triggered the release of serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin, neurotransmitters which promoted brain function, like an active volcano. Fear, happiness, anxiety, agitation, lust my inside was a chaos of emotions that made me feel like I was going mad.
Kugh!
The hormones effects were as great as their side effects, however.
The world slowed down.
It wasnt that it had truly slowed down, but that the flow of time in my mind had slowed as I became able to think and calcte dozens of times faster than the ordinary man, and that was enough.
Lets go at it step by step~!
The glycogen and calories stored as fat throughout my body were quickly consumed, but having embodied aplete dposition system with a human body, I was no different from a living power nt. The amount of calories required for my bodys metabolism was tremendous, but I could handle it even without fantasy world resource-type Skills.
As my opponents blue lightsaber drew nearer, I boldly gave away my left arm.
Pzzt-
Endorphines suppressed the searing pain of my left arm being severed. Even in this extremely dangerous situation, the natural pain-killers released from my pituitary nd and hypothmus calmed meno, excited me. They allowed me to enjoy this knife-edge situation. My fear of death turned from foolhardiness to madness.
Hhph?! PETY?XW?!
The old prince was astonished at the sight of meughing with delight despite losing an arm and uttered something, but I couldnt understand; my ability to auto-trante had disappeared along with the Skill: Interpretation(A).
I had no intention of ending things at giving away an arm. The real game started from now.
Norepinephrine was secreted from my adrenal nds and the end of my sympathetic nerves stretching from the middle of my spinal cord. The release of energy from fat elerated as my heartbeat and breathing sped up, and the secretion of adrenaline, which raised homeostasis andbative spirit, was stimted as well.
The bleeding from my severed arm was no problem either; I increased the amount of thrombocytes produced from my bone marrows, which were key to how fast blood congealed near broken blood vessels to stop bleeding. I didnt holdrge expectations for that, however, as I nned on undergoing an intense workout starting now.
One for you too!
I was going to receive what was due for having taken my left arm, at a very high price at that.
We were atplete close contact. Although I wasnt capable of dodging as I had no wings, that went the same for the old prince who was dropping down from the sky with me.
I stretched out my right hand.
Grasp!
Kuugh?!
The old prince became fiercely wide-eyed at having his neck grasped. I was aiming for the spot between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebraes, my favorite.
Squeeze-
It would have beenfortable for the both of us if I were able to break it in one go, but my grip strength was somewhatcking with my physique-type Skills gone. No, should it be said that the prince was holding up well? It seemed like his weakened Willpower(Z) was doing the least it was supposed to do.
Smack! Tap-tap! Smack!
His face turned a deep blue, the prince iled his arms and legs about. As for the biggest threat, the lightsaber?
Ang?
I dealt with it by sensually biting down on his thumb so as to prevent him from holding it, my teeth suffused with a feeble amount of Divinity.
Who would have known a day wouldvee where Id take a coarse mans thumb in my mouth! It truly was hard to get by in the world, wasnt it?
Aaaargh~?!
The old prince let out a scream, frightened at the unfamiliar experience, and thus we shared in the fear and shock.
The biggest threat, the lightsaber, fell from the princes hand. He would no doubt have wanted to hold it until the end, but it was physically difficult to do so with him having lost his important thumb.
Peh!
I sensually spat out the mans thumb Id been holding in my mouth like a candy and thought it wasnt something I wanted to experience, ever again. The old prince seemed to be of the same thought regarding thishe even showed symptoms of respiratory arrest, his face became deathly pale from shame.
Huhuhu! Why you little shy boWoah now!
Smack! Smack! Smack!
The old prince attempted to thrash my face with both hands, so I responded in kind.
I lowered my right hand holding his thick neck and raised my left knee.
Bam!
A clear sound of a skull being bashed reverberated.
I thought: thats beautiful so lets hear it again.
Bam!
Aughh
The old prince had lost all his front teeth like a scruffy snot-nosed kid and his eyes were slightly out of focus.
Pat-pat.
His arms frantically beat at my body, not having given up despite all this, but there wasnt much strength behind them.
We continued to fall down in this state, and finally
Ssh!
We dropped into the middle of the Pacific Ocean where violent waves crashed about. Even so, I didnt let go of the princes neck.
You and me, lets end this!
Gurgle-gurgle?!
The prince regained his senses after gulping down a bellyful of Earths polluted ocean water, but the fact that I held the upper hand remained unchanged. But of course, the prince was no easy customer himself.
Drip
He retaliated by poking his fingers into the severed part of my left shoulder and widening the wound, making use of Infiltration(Z)s effect! Vicious move though it was, it was significantly effectiveno matter how superior my physical abilities, I wouldnt be able to avoid symptoms of anemia if Icked blood which was absolutely necessary for biological activity.
Science was weak against science.
This was because science was a study faithful to cause and effect. It couldnt transcend limits with tenacity and passion like fantasy magic. Therefore
My victory is only a natural result.
The reason being that we were in the ocean. Contained in the ocean water, which could be drunk by merely opening my mouth, were plenty of salt and minerals; I could quickly deal with the missing blood. As for the old prince, on the other hand?
Burble-burble?!
Even the veins on his neck were bulging now as it was about to be snapped, while his breathing had been long cut off.
We were swept away by the ocean current and became submerged. Although the option of swimming to the surface of the waters was ever present, we didnt allow it to each other.
Having btedly realized that there wasnt much hope of winning by digging at my shoulder wound, the prince aimed for my neck as well.
Squeeze.
He squeezed down with both hands, yet even so his grip was weaker than that of one of my hands.
Our gazes meeting within the ocean showed mingled feelings of joy and sorrow. While conversing was impossible due to Interpretation(A) being lost, havingmuned to the extent of even sharing a thumb, we reached the realm of being able to understand the others thoughts. Going through this with another man wasnt exactly a good experience.
Old princey boy, giving up will make it easy.
What in zes is with this strength of yours!
You probably wont understand even if I tell?
Have you ever heard of Master Mong?
This sort of death, sort of defeat. I cannot ept it
So what if you cant? Mm?
Just when we had conversed up to that point with our eyes, I could instinctively tell that my stripped-bare Status was gradually returning to how it was before. Was it a temporary effect, not permanent? I got the thought that it was simr to an EMP, which disabled all electronic devices. But this meant that
Squirm.
The prince, who was on the verge of death with his neck dangling, quickly regained hisplexion, but still I held the upper hand.
Ill end you here and now.
At that moment, an attack shot down into the waters of the ocean we were submerged in. Although I wanted to ignore it, it posed a considerable threat to me as I was barely in the middle of recovering my Status. I couldnt afford to lose even my right arm.
Tsk.
Kuugh-?!
Before the iing blue swordforce reached me, slicing through the ocean itself as if to split us apart, I kicked the princes belly with all my might.
Chwaa-!
And the swordforce grazed past my very nose. I turned narrowed eyes towards to sky where I guessed the culprit of the attack to be.
There was no need to even search.
My Prince! Well help too!
I shall also aid you, Master.
My sword is yours.
A noisy group of women came rushing over.
Donte! This ones the real deal!
The old prince yelled towards them, but there was no strength in his voice due to his throat having been clutched all this while.
And he was toote.
What? The real deal?
Why hello there, miss?
I leaped into the sky and re-summoned Holy Sword 2, which had returned along with my recovered Status. As for why I summoned it, well
Kya-?!
sh-
I made a pretty cut through the waist of the girl that was openly showing her belly buttonperhaps it was because she always kept her figure maintained, but her severed torso was pretty as welland kicked her lower half which was about to plunge into the ocean along with the pink intestines that had poured out
Here, a present.
towards one of the other youngdies.
Holy sh*t?!
What a thing to say at arades lower half, youre too much. This is punishment for that.
Kyaargh
The woman trembled violently, her throat impaled by Holy Sword 2. She was probably dead, but I still gave another blow.
Splurt-
I chopped at her vertically, from her dolled up head to her crotch that was covered with a crude piece of clothing. I had wanted to make a pretty symmetrical cut, but I failed due to my center of gravity unstable with my left arm lost.
Sorry! Ill do better next time!
Sister-?!
You, you bastard!
Hiik?!
The girls who were still alive and kicking were petrified. Ah! Were they a bunch of aunties, not youngdies? But that didnt matter, I thought. Soon there wasnt going to be a point in making distinctions.
The price for getting in my way is extremely high.
I heard the prince cry out as he fiercely approached me, though he waste to act. What came out of his mouth was almost incoherent.
Retreat! Run away quick! Everyone hurry! Hes the real deal! Hes nothing like a Hero drunk on fantasy!
Not a Hero?
He was being too harsh, even if we were enemies.
Im an A-rank Hero! I even have a graduation cert! You there, the miss that looks good at h-hooping. Tell me. What do I look like?
A d-demon king?
Ill stab your butt if you lie to Mm? Who stuck this here?
p-p.
On my back were a pair of wings I was seeing for the first time.
Chapter 82 - Soar up, O Hero! ?
Chapter 82: Soar up, O Hero! ?
It was a disturbing thing which resembled a spinal cord, white bones connected by joints covered in a dark membrane.
It seemed like it would span a good 7m if it were spread wide to either side, and from every joint protruded horns like thorns.
There were three pairs of these sets of bones.
Membranes covered the gaps to form a wing.
Wouldnt they look like an umbre if seen from afar?
Looks more like weapons rather than wings?
The ends of the wings were sharp and thus looked good for stabbing.
It just so happened that I wascking a working hand from losing an arm. This should be able to satisfy me.
I decided to test it out immediately.
Stab!
I used my wing to stab in and out of the belly of Miss A, who had untruthfully called me a demon king.
Kyauh?!
Her neat, pure white dress now dyed red, the cry of a soprano resounded from Miss As mouth instead of a magic incantation.
The flesh of her lower belly was violently torn, like the mouth of a fish caught on a hook.
But that wasnt all.
Slop
Miss As glossy light-pink innards came out hanging on the wings horn.
Miss As eyes rolled back in their sockets and she plunged down into the ocean.
As Miss B tried to fly down to save Miss A, I gave her a slight jab in the back, too.
Hold my hanKyaagh~?!
This time my wing gouged out a pancreas. No, is this a kidney? I decided to ask its owner what it was.
Ssh! Ssh!
But that idea was cancelled due to the twodies, who refused to converse, and the strange man all jumping into the ocean.
While I became displeased at being so tantly ignored, I chose to respect the girls sense of virtue like the gentleman I was.
Anyhow
I dont think thislle out again if I stab wrong
It seemed caution would be necessary.
Stop!
The old prince yelled desperately at the sight of thedies deaths and closed in on me at a high speed.
His previousposure and leisurely manner was nowhere to be found.
Haha! Thatta boy!
I didnt dodge and received the old princes challenge.
Though of course, I had no intention of just taking it.
Kyagh~?!
Aargh?!
I began a delivery service.
Stab! sh!
I used my wings to stab or Holy Sword 2 to cut down the fleeingdies, their initial spirit fueled by the power of love lost and their faces filled with fear.
There was even one who gave up resisting and begged for her life.
Excellent judgement.
Chop.
I cleanly cut the throat of Miss E, who had thrown away her weapon.
How could you do that when she surrendered?!
Another one questioned me when she wasnt even the person concerned.
Her attitude of trying to represent another without permission was rude and offensive, but I gave a full exnation to Miss F whom Id soon be parting with.
Isnt that why I sent her off painlessly?
You demon! Gugh!
End of consultation!
This time I bashed the girls face instead of stabbing with my wings.
I left the blood-covered Miss F to drop down. Her use was to hold back the prince who was chasing after me, roaring like a wounded beast.
It was quite effective.
Go to your beloveds embrace Mm?
I saw Miss Fs eyeball dangling off my wings like a bell. Its optic nerves were just caught on one of my wings horns, on the verge of breaking off.
You didnt really have to give me this You wanna eat this?
I generously asked this to the very lovely-looking Miss G, who had been looking this way and that.
She answered without much hesitation.
NAughb~!?
No need to be reserved since its your friends!
My wings slipped as I fed Miss G the eyeball and I ended up raking off her scalp full of hair like grilled thin pork belly.
What should I do about this?
I decided to pretend I didnt see.
Stop right there!
Woah! You startled me!
The old princes roar caused me to put too much strength into my tense shoulders.
Holy Sword 2 slipped in my hand as a consequence, and ended up cutting the passerby Miss H between her 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebrae.
Oh! Goodness gracious!
I didnt get it between the 4th and 5th!
It was my first time making this sort of mistake in 7 years.
I grasped hold of Miss Hs intact neck in order to recover my honor. This time I made no blunder in urately gripping the spot between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae and
No~!
Your Highness, sav!
Crack.
Her neck broken, Miss H went powerlessly limp.
It looked like she had lots to say to her beloved, but private talk like that should have been held in the heat of night beforehand.
What remained now was
Sob-sob!
Dont cry. It makes your ruined face pretty!
I caught up to Miss G, who was flying away clutching her scalp that was torn to the point of showing her white skull.
There was a deeply sensual charm to her eyes moist with tears.
She seemed to have been running rather diligently, love and friendship flung out the window, but she was much too slow inparison to me with my bizarre wings.
Shall I cut her? Stab her? Break her?
I decided to ask for her thoughts.
How do you want to die?
No! No! I dont want to die! Sob-sob!
Miss G began to shake her head and throw a tantrum at my question.
Whys a grown adult acting like a child?
O Hero! Please spare her alone at least!
The prince flying over from afar cried out in a pleading voice.
By looking at Miss Gs Status, I was able to analyze without difficult why he was taking a somewhat overly humble stance.
?Race: Human
?Level: 999+
?Job: Crown Princess(PrinceAbility)
?Skills: Charm(SSS) Coquetry(SS) mor(S) Magic(S) Eternal Youth(S)
?Condition: Fear
The Jobs of thedies Id killed until now were all production types orbat types; they didnt clearly state the status of a wife like Miss Gs.
Jobs didnt just appear.
While there were quite many Jobs like Robber which could be easily obtained through robbery, Jobs that involved rank and position had extremely strict requirements.
For instance
The rulers of small countries and vassal states without any recognition, regardless of how much they asserted themselves, would not be able to attain the Job of King.
This strict standard applied to marital rtionships as well.
Political marriages between influential families or powerful nations were a slight exception, but normally it required something like true love.
In any case.
Chop.
I didnt give a damn for the family affairs of others.
No~~!
The only good killer is a dead killer.
I jeered in response to the princes howling.
I had no interest in what kind of person Miss G was.
She was no more than a bloodthirsty murderer from the moment she joined the group trying to kill me. There couldnt be anypromise or understanding in this.
Miss Gs severed head and torso dropped into the ocean.
But before it could be swept away by the waves, the old prince nimbly caught her corpse.
He then yelled up looking towards me.
Just what did you learn in the dimension of Fantasia?! What were they thinking to raise and let loose a monster like you into the world! To think they created an even fouler monstrosity to defeat us! Have they truly gone mad?!
I agree with you on that!
How could they have captured a good-natured Earthling like me for 17 years! The teaching staff are definitely out of their minds.
You scumbag Hero! I swear I will kill you!
That again at this point?
We tried to kill each other from the start.
Was there really a need to reconfirm that?
p!
I descended towards the prince, who was howling in a voice filled with hatred.
It was for this very moment that I dealt with his harem first.
Ahh, thats the stuff.
Endorphins unceasingly drove my body and mind to ecstasy.
Its fine if my left arms cut off, if I lose my abilities, if I kill people, if I destroy the world.
Fear, pain, worldly desires, worries and the like all disappeared.
Although I felt as if I had even lost slight control of myself, how many powers with no side-effects were there in the world?
It was a hundred times better than an uninsured exclusive contract, fantasy powers, which could end up a sh*t dream at any moment depending on a certain transcendental beings whimsy.
Fwoom-!
I vertically swung down Holy Sword 2.
I didnt waste any seconds showily gathering strength this time, but merely aimed for Miss Gs corpse that was retrieved by the prince with prompt swiftness.
tantly at that!
Bastard!
The old prince retreated.
I chased after him and allowed no distance.
Our gazes met.
The old princes eyes were full of conflict and anguish.
He would surely be able to fight properly if he were to let go of his beloved womans corpse, which heavily hung in both his hands like a pair of handcuffs. But the prince who had lost hisposure and turned emotionally couldnt easily do so.
He possessed a whole two transcendental domain Skills yet he was unable to make use of them at all.
It was all he could do to mourn in his grief.
Whether it be physically or mentally, he was no opponent of mine.
That was all there was to this fight.
Wake up from your love and friendship, foolish prince.
What on earth are you?
sh-
Even until the moment his body was split apart, the old prince was unable to let go of his lingering attachment and hung onto Miss Gs corpse.
How idiotic.
You cant protect anything if you die.
Though of course, he wouldnt have lost so simply if he had the leisure to make that level of rational judgement.
I didnt allow the princes body that was split in two to fall into the Pacific Ocean.
Thest thing I wanted was to go through a possible round two, after all.
I shredded his corpse with a whirlwind blended with the powers of Divinity(Z) and Dark Energy(Z), so thoroughly that there couldnt even be a smidgen of possibility for resurrection or revenge.
A neat cleanup that left no uneasy foreshadowing or future trouble.
The virtue of an excellent Hero.
Who cares if my abilities are false or borrowed.
While there was the variable called fantasy ability neutralization, it was within the eptable ranges whenpared to the dismal intelligence of my 1st ythroughpanions who werepanions in name only.
It was all actually a sh*t dream!
Isnt this the kind of development Ive always been wary of?
I wouldnt be surprised even if all my abilities were taken away.
The corpses of the haremdies were swallowed by the Pacific Ocean waves.
While it was possible there were survivors in the waters feigning death and waiting for me to leave, I didnt want to be concerned with that.
My time was precious, after all!
Time didnt flow 10 times as slow right now as it did in the dimension of Fantasia. In other worlds, wasting a second here meant losing a second of my cultured life.
Just the mere thought of it was horrible.
Master, here.
Saintess H drew near, elegantly pping her pure-white angel wings, and brought me my left arm that was cut off.
And she brought the old princes lightsaber as a throw-in as well.
It just so happened that I was feeling the need for a new sword, as even Holy Sword 2 was on the verge of bing destroyed like Holy Sword 3 before it.
Well done, Rice Cake. As for the lightsaber huh? Is it just registered?
The moment I received the lightsaber from Saintess H after sticking my left arm back on like an assembly robot, I naturally realized the trick to store it.
That wasnt the only trophy from the battle, however.
?Type: Skill
?Name:
?Rank: A
?S: .
?A: Confuse target.
?B: Ruin target.
?C: Induce oblivion in target.
?D: Will not fall into chaos.
?E: Cannot be destroyed.
?F: Will not forget.
As I obtained EXP from the old prince whose Job was marked with A, my previously B-rank ck-Box became promoted to A-rank.
But I simply couldnt get a feel for it.
Geez! I gotta know how to use it, dont I?
The old prince caused an explosion of purple light from his eyes, yet I didnt know how to use the Skill aside from activating it.
There was another problem as well.
p-p.
I had to do something about the wings that had sprouted from my back.
It was admittedly good to be able to fly freely, but I couldnt meet my parents with such a disturbing appearance.
Youre my son, regardless of how you appear!
I had no expectations for this sort of movie-esque touching reunion.
It would be a relief if they didnt grab a tennis racket screaming and whack their son who had returned after 17 years in the chin.
Is this Masters home?
It is. It is, but
I took a look around me.
Submarine volcano, tsunami, typhoon, whirlpool, heavy rain, shipwreck
The Pacific Ocean had be the very picture of chaos and destruction.
This was all that wicked aliens fault. What would an innocent and naive Hero who hadnt evene back to Earth for a day know?
In any case, it was the aliens fault.
I think the will be annihted if you fought a second time
This is my spection. About an hour before we came to Earth, a bunch of aliens had an intense marital quarrel here. Definitely.
Yes yes?
I unsummoned Saintess H who just couldnt keep in tune with me.
The Pacific Ocean problem is over with this and whats left are these wings.
It was difficult trying to figure out a way to hide my wings in a state of maintaining flight.
I needed tond somewhere and have some time to calmly think.
As luck would have it, I discovered a fine location for that.
However
Mr. Kang Han Soo! I knew you were alive!
There was already a passenger before me on the shipwreck.
Huh? Factoria died in a ne crash. Who are you? Ah! Are you her clone aiming for her assets and boyfriend? What an obvious development.
Youre totally off the mark?! And my name is Victoria, Victoria! Please remember it will you!
I reunited with the munitions factorydy whom I had thought dead.
Chapter 83 - Wait!
Chapter 83: Wait!
The ship that rescued me and Victoria, after we fell into the boundless ocean due to the ne ident, was a high-ss cruise.
It couldnt be ignored because it was a cruise, however.
In these present times where the importance of security has grown along with the happening of the alien invasion, the cruise ships of marine cities which received global investment boasted anti-air defense abilities that rivaled that of a battleship.
Even so, however, the situation wasnt all good.
Mr. Kang Han Soo. What you see isnt all there is to it.
What else is there?
The coastal cities on the shores of the Pacific Ocean are currently in a state of emergency due to unprecedented natural disasters. Fortunately, though, there wasnt much damage thanks to the Heroes stationed in those cities stopping those tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic ashes and on.
Is that so?
I see that Earths quite capable on its own, eh?
But the marine city took a big blow. There were few casualties thanks to disaster countermeasures, but the scale of damage is beyond imagination what with the production factories being flooded and the equipment being swept away by the waves or discharged.
Its a relief people werent hurt!
The lives of people came first. The rest were trivial issues.
There werent exactly no casualties.
Its a relief there were none.
No, Im saying Ugh! Whatever.
The ocean was settling down bit by bit. Although the volcano that erupted underwater was still raging, it would eventually calm as well.
There was nothing that would be a problem.
The Earth I hade back to in a year and a half was peaceful and beautiful.
Slump.
I sat my bottom down on the deck of the wrecked ship, to deal with these wings of mine however I could.
Its appearance differed entirely from that of an angels or demons. It didnt have the feel of the Etherwings that the Demon Kings daughter showed either.
It possessed an aesthetic that was a little more primal.
Mr. Kang Han Soo. Ive been wanting to ask since a while now, but what are those creepy wings on your back?
Victoria asked as she crouched next to me.
Was that her idea of a question?
Why are you asking when you called them wings yourself?
Th-thats right, but Come on! Do you really have to talk like that? Im allowed to ask, arent I!
She expressed her discontent as she pouted her lips.
Although I wanted to break her damp neck by ident as she annoyed me by the side, I held back the urge as we werent the only ones on this shipwreck.
That being the case, I had to give some answer, but
It was after 10 seconds of pondering that I came up with one.
Theyre wings that only a Hero that received SS-grade inbat ability can get.
I thought it up fromputer games.
The achievement system.
Special rewards would be given uponpleting difficult achievements, a marketing strategy through which yers would be granted incentive and motivation.
For an excuse that was thought up on the spot, it was rather good.
Victoria grew round-eyed upon hearing my words.
Yourbat ability is SS-grade?!
Thats right. If your curiositys satisfied then get away a little. Dont go and hold me responsible when you end up getting stabbed by my wings.
Its fine. My bodys sturdier than it loo- Huh?
Victorias expression turned stiff as she was poking at the horns protruding from my wings with a smile.
A hole had appeared on the finger she had poked with.
Scarlet blood began to pour out soon after.
Her face became stark pale, Victoria immediately scrambled away and opened the red medicine bottle hung on her belt and poured its contents on her finger.
Sss
The wound quickly stopped bleeding and began to heal.
It opened up again in a moment, however; there was an effect on the horns simr to a curse that interefered with healing, apparently.
W-what on earth is
Victoria used more of the medicine, sweating heavily. She sprinkled and spread it on the finger with the hole, and even drank a part of it.
Thus she barely seeded in treating the wound.
During that time I had been focusing on my wings.
As I was able to observe the inside of my body through Master Mongs teachings, it wasnt impossible or hard to do.
And I realized a surprising truth.
Is it derived from my ribs? Hm
For angels and demons, those winged races had an entirely new addition of an organ called wings.
But my wings were different.
Rib bones that protruded like snaggletooth had shot out of my back and transformed. From an evolutionary perspective, they could be called primitive wings.
To take several animals for examples
The wings of the only mammal that can fly like birds, bats, are elongated fingers shaped like webbed feet.
Flying fish that lived in the sea were also simr. These fish that are capable of flying up to 40 seconds for 400m have pectoral fins shaped like wings.
The wings on my back were simr as well.
Snap.
The three pairs of bones could be gathered and folded like an umbre, which I realized during the previous battle as I moved them several times.
The problem came after this, however.
I had no way of wearing normal topwear in this state.
Urgh thats the one thing I want to be spared
I shivered at recalling the outfits of angels and demons.
The clothes worn by their females were rtively better.
Their dresses and aprons that werepletely open at the back were a kind of fashion that emphasized the attractive lines of their back.
But for men?
Putting aside the case of outright not wearing anything on the top, an outfit that covered only the front while revealing the back is just right for being pinned as a pervert.
This was why angel and demon males wore no topwear, or only wore specially made clothing that took their wings into ount.
Mr. Kang Han Soo. What are you doing?
Dont talk to me. Its serious.
The wings of angels and demons were summoned.
When the summoning was undone, their wings would disappear from their backs, enabling them to lie downpletely like humans.
I couldnt do that, however.
Summoning rib bones made no sense, no?
By chance is it because of the wings?
No.
I see you cant bring yourself to be honest.
Lady. Arent you often told that youre annoying for talking too much?
People like me talking to them, though.
Victoria replied proudly.
Hah! Im sure they pretend to. Who knows what loss theyll suffer if they speak honestly? Who would do something thatll lead to kissing goodbye to their promotion or worse, being fired or put out to pasture.
How mean! Id never do such things!
Look, look. Youre ring up just cause I said a few words. If I were an employee, you wouldve already been howling to have me fired.
Well thats because you Urgh! Never mind!
I continued to think on how to hide my wings even as we conversed.
And the conclusion I came to?
Snap.
To break it off.
While it seemed somewhat an idiotic solution, there was no problem at all from my careful investigation of my body structure.
Not a drop of blood was spilled either.
They were wings designed to be easily broken off, to begin with.
The wings that fell off my body became destroyed rapidly.
Crumble
Every joint of the bones connected by the things resembling cartge disconnected and fell apart, and the bone fragments easily crumbled away like chalk.
The membrane of the wings werent too much different either.
Even the sword strikes and magic of those barbaric aliens had no effect on it, yet it tore simply like tissue upon separating from my body.
The truth was near, huh?
To not hide the wings but outright pull them out!
There couldnt be a method more certain than this.
Mr. Kang Han Soo. Is it fine to throw them away? Theyre special wings obtained from getting an SS-grade, after all.
Are you, worrying for me right now?
I fixed an intent stare on Victorias face.
Am, am I not allowed to? Why are you making a face like my nephew that saw elephants mating at the zoo and got shocked? Do I look that shocking?
Yeah.
It was honestly shocking.
In times like this, deny it even if you dont mean it please!
But its too shocking, isnt it? That you worry for me when you cant even beat a pet of the Demon King on your own.
Cant I worry?
Why dont you use that time to work on improving yourself instead.
That was how I had grown stronger, and it was the same now.
I gathered my focus.
Stretch!
As I did so, new wings protruded from my back like bamboo shoots.
It took approximately 10 seconds for the wings topletely form as the three pairs of bones elongated and the membranes on them appeared. It wasnt possible to take them out in the blink of an eye like when summoning.
They were wings that needed a bit of preparation.
Hmm
Forming the wings was fine, but there was something I had overlooked.
Mr. Kang Han Soo. Your expressions be serious again. Is there some problem with your new wings?
Theres not enough calcium phosphate.
It turned out that the bones of my wings werent simply made out of nothing.
What?
I feel like Ill get osteoporosis if I dont munch on some anchovy or something this instant. Is there something to eat on the ship?
These wings abided by thew of equal exchange.
*
As befitting a luxury cruise, its restaurant had plenty of things to eat.
I simply gave up the vow I had made to first taste the bad beanpaste pot stew my mother makes upon returning to Earth someday.
I had thought it such a wonderful dream at the time, but
Apparently, it was just my imagination.
In the restaurant, I replenished the nutrients I had consumed to create the wings. I performed some tests in between as well.
And here came the conclusion.
If I were to regenerate my wings three times in a state of having eating nothing, my bones would be as weak as millet stalk.
It seemed that caution would be necessary regarding this point in future as well.
Youve totally got the appetite of a child.
Buzz off.
Hehe?
On Fantasias continents, I had tried several times to reproduce the cookings of Earth.
But while I knew how to pay at a restaurant and eat, I was utterly clueless as to cooking myself. This wasnt my fault.
School didnt teach me the methods on making ketchup, margarine, soy sauce, soybean paste and teriyaki, and they didnte up as examination questions either.
How was I supposed to know something I didnt learn?
I had resolved to learn cooking without fail when I returned to Earth, yet in reality that thought disappeared like melting snow after actuallying back.
It wasnt like I was going back to the dimension of Fantasia, was I?
I just had to buy food or eat the meals made at home like I used to. There was no real need for me to learn to cook.
Why do you keep on smiling? Getting on my nerves.
Factoria had been appearing to be in a very good mood since a while ago.
Because being by your side, it feels like Ive gone back to Fantasias continents.
You sure can say something horrible so easily!
That was why I wasnt able to even sleep.
It felt like if I needlessly fell asleep, Id be kidnapped again and be shaken awake by a little sister-version Lanuvel saying Brother! Get up quickly! Come on~.
Truthfully, the thought was frightening.
Dont you miss it, Mr. Kang Han Soo?
Not at all.
I was even insulted that I was more knowledgeable over there than its native residents. Never again did I want to go back to that wearisome world.
I recall the faces of mypanions, now and then. The cute Lanuvel, kind Alex, beautiful Sylvia, pure Aqua, the solemn Sir Sage
That so?
Apparently, she had gone to a dimension that was the same in name only.
I did vaguely feel that Id be able to return to Earth upon defeating the Demon King, but who wouldve known that forget choosing, I wouldnt be able to even say goodbye If I did, I wouldnt have rushed the subjugation.
Im the same.
Was it really a dimension with the same name only?
I had taken a whole 10 years despite rushing, after all.
You miss it in truth, dont you?
Are you mad?
Hehe?
I quietly listened to the reminiscing Factoria, and while doing so I put together the information she knew.
The graduates didnt know in detail regarding the existence of the teaching staff.
They only knew of them as angels sent by the Fantasy God.
The real angels I hade across in the Hero Festival were a thug race of cockheads, but it was inevitable that the other graduates would misunderstand as the angels didnt make a proper appearance in the elementary education curriculum.
She didnt have much to say of use.
Chief Director Victoria! Here you were!
I hear a salvage ship has just set sail.
Director. The captain is in a hurry to find you.
Our stock is fluctuating due to this incident!
Hundreds of passengers and crew members aside from us had been on this wrecked ship.
I felt like I heard about some couple that ignored the warning to go on the deck and mimicked The Titanic at the ships bow to end up going missing, but surely I was imagining it.
There were many people looking for Factoria.
Among them were officials who worked under her, but the number of businessmen and politicians who got on the cruise ship to meet her, the Chief Director of the Pacific Oceans third marine city, and unexpectedly ran into her werent few.
I took advantage of the confusion to quietly slip away.
Where are you heading to, Mr. Kang Han Soo?
Factoria, who managed to notice me, came running over in a fluster to ask me this.
I replied honestly.
Home.
If it werent for the problem with my wings, which I hadnt expected in the least, I would have ignored the wrecked ship and immediately flown over to Korea.
But even that problem was now over.
It was time to go back to my hometown.
Could I ask for just one favor before that?
Dont.
Ill sufficiently reward you.
No need.
I found Factoria amusing to be proposing a trade with me.
Could there be anything more important than going back home to read theics and novels that I had missed out on?
There was no reward that could possibly satisfy me.
While I did have a slight interest in Factorias refined body, there were bound to be otherdies better than her if I were to search well.
My interest wasnt to the extent of hearing out a bothersome request.
It cant be helped then.
Factoria took a step back as she shook her head.
I see you giving up quickly this time?
Im a learner myself, Ill have you know? Ive roughly figured out your personality. I dont want to bother wasting brainpower when I know you wont listen no matter how much I ask.
Well done.
I stood on the deck of the wrecked ship and focused my mind to create my wings.
At that moment, I overheard the conversation between Factoria and a crew member.
Chief Director Victoria. The alien woman we fished out of the ocean has regained her senses. Let us head to the captains cabin.
Yes, lets.
Alien woman?
Wait! Factoria!
Its Victoria!
That name doesnt even matter.
But I dont like it!
Ignoring Victorias protest, I pped my chest and made a heroic exmation.
Entrust the peace of Earth to this Hero, yours truly!
Chapter 84 - Could this golem be…?
Chapter 84: Could this golem be?
Whatever the vile alien woman might say, I was innocent, but still it was possible there might be a foolish Earthling incited into doing something.
The natural disaster that had shaken the entire Pacific Ocean this time was secondary damage caused by the aliens marital quarrel.
It was in no way connected to me.
I really cant tell what youre thinking, Mr. Kang Han Soo.
Cant tell what? Im a 100% pure incarnation of justice.
It had nothing to do with me, but I could smell the stench of a conspiracy.
How could I overlook it as an A-rank hero with a strong sense of justice?
I decided to solve this problem for them.
Hmm~ Suspicious
Now! Lets go already!
I moved to the captains cabin together with Victoria, who gazed at me with suspicion.
*
The alien woman, whom I had expected to have been stripped naked while being frisked and put on a torture chair with all four of her limbs restrained, was
Lyingfortably on top of a clean bed under a nket.
My brows involuntarily furrowed at that indolent and shoddy way of dealing with the woman, but I quietly passed over it as the general mood seemed approving.
First, I checked her face.
It was Miss D.
No, looking closely, she did look like Miss C, too.
Since I had stabbed them off the bat instead of carefully checking their faces, I couldnt remember exactly who she was.
In any case, she wasnt Miss G. That was certain.
Well, shall I have a look at her Status?
?Race: Mermaid
?Level: 857
?Job: ck Magician(Blessing=Dead Soul)
?Skills: Song(S) Dead Soul(S) Immortal(A) Blessing(A) Interpretation(A)
?Condition: Resurrected, Anxious, Heroic Soul, Exhausted, Golem
I had thought I had thoroughly gotten rid of the old princes harem, but this young miss had the right conditions foring back to life.
For starters her race was mermaid.
She had no worries of drowning to death even if she fell into the Pacific Ocean in a powerless state.
Her Job was ck Magician, which was specialized in manipting corpses and the dead. On top of this was A-rank Immortal. It was a setup that was outright nned to defy death.
Had I seen her Status at the start, I would have killed her twice for certainty, but
This persons condition isplicated
Victoria so muttered upon seeing the alien womans Status like I did.
The man who had arrived here before her replied.
Were specting that she died once during a big fight near this area, then barely resurrected through a Skill. As you can see, were taking good care of her, but shes not speaking due to being wary of us.
The speaker wasnt the captain of this cruise ship.
He was a Hero tasked with guarding the ship.
As of the present, he was more like a mercenary with supernatural powers than a Hero. This was simr with the Heroes on Fantasias continents.
Heroes are unnecessary in a world without a Demon King, after all.
No matter how great a power you had, if there was nowhere to use it, then you could only be a criminal or a security guard that stopped crimes.
I see. Good work.
Its nothing. I am being paid to do this.
The Hero responded idly.
He was on the rather better side of things, though.
He was a full-time worker employed by the wealthy Victoria, and not a temporary mercenary who used a days earnings within that day.
There was quite the order around here.
There were groups who rejected this proper social life, however.
Guilds.
Heroes with nothing to do gathered to found armed groups called guilds.
Their purpose for banding together?
To protect their rights as those socially ostracized.
This was because the politicians and individuals originally in power were wary of their unregted powers.
The Heroes that had returned after defeating Demon King Pedonar on Fantasias continents were more dangerous than armed robbers.
If these Heroes became bent on disying their power, they could kill everyst person alive, whether it be a conglomerate or the president.
If the Heroes had decided to take a cold and harsh stance, Earth would long have be the second Fantasia.
Or perhaps it might have be something even worse?
Come to think of it, I wonder if that ssmate of mines doing fine?
While I did gather some information myself aftering to Earth, the most of what I knew was taught to me by ssmate A, whom I coincidentally met in Fantasias continents.
I found it hard to believe his words back then, but upon actually seeing Heroes ordering Heroes about, I truly felt that Earth had changed a great deal.
Victoria was issuing orders.
Everyone please step aside and leave it to me from here on.
Chief Director. This person is?
The Hero questioned my identity as I stood beside her.
Just when I was about to give a reply, Victoria began to fabricate a story without blinking a single eye.
A trustworthyrade. Ill vouch for his identity, so dont worry too much.
Im the one to worry
Arade by whose will? Wheres your conscience?
I had no mind to have a weakrade like Victoria.
But if I were to deny it here, it was possible I would have to start from the beginning by checking for my identity. Since that would be very much wearisome, I decided to pass over it for the time being.
Victoria smiled again, appearing to be in a good mood.
In contrast, I grew extremely ufortable.
Well if you say so, Chief Director
All the crew members including the Hero exited the captains cabin, following which only me, Victoria and the alien woman were left.
Victoria spoke as she cautiously approached the bed.
Hello? Im Victoria, the one in charge here. I understand that youre uneasy, but can we talk for a moment? I promise that I will never harm you.
The alien woman cautiously opened her eyes.
And discovered me.
Hi? Miss mermaid.
Kyaaagh-!
The young mermaid responded to my greeting with a scream.
Crack- Shatter!
As the mermaid, whose race was famed for their strong vocal cords, screamed, all the ss windows in the captains cabin shattered.
Shiing.
I summoned forth Holy Sword 2 without hesitation.
I had been continuously pondering upon how to kill this living witness in a natural manner without drawing suspicion, yet to think she would cause amotion like this. I could only be thankful.
This time, Ill definitely deal with you so that you cant resurrect.
Its okay! Calm down!
Pause.
I stopped my arm that was about to swing Holy Sword 2 due to Victoria stepping in and shielding the young mermaid.
Bang-!
The door to the captains cabin opened and the Hero from before entered. He seemed surprised upon hearing the noise made by the mermaid as he was waiting outside.
Director! Are youGasp! You bastard!
The Hero charged towards me like an angry bull.
It was because I had been pointing Holy Sword 2 at Victoria, which made for just the right picture for a third party to misunderstand me as trying to attack her.
Although the reason for this was Victoria interfering in the middle of her own ord, there was no time to be kindly exining that.
Killing him was a bit too much
So I decided to give him a slight pat.
Stay out of it, extra.
Whose an extrGuegh?!
My side kicknded on the Heros lower back.
Exactly between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae!
It was a blow that had perfectly calcted the Heros body structure and elerated motion.
He must have gotten a herniated lumbar disc without any aftereffects.
Crew Member A. Clear him away instead of just watching.
Yes? Yes!
Crew Member A, who had entered a stepte, attempted to help up the Hero who was lying limp on the ground, but the Hero stubbornly shook off the crew members hand.
Let go! I can stand on my owKuarrgh~?!
The Hero clutched at his lower back as he was standing up gantly and fell down again.
While I didnt openly show my delight, I was greatly satisfied at having confirmed that he had properly gotten a herniated disc.
I had been slightly worried as I had failedst time against a certain youngdy, but my skills hadnt rusted yet.
The Hero was carried out on a stretcher, unable to move in the slightest.
Thus only three were left in the captains cabin, again.
Uugh
The young mermaid was trembling violently, covered with the bed nket up to her head.
She didnt scream again.
It was thanks to Victoriaforting her by the side like a big sister.
Yes, calmly take a deep breath. Youre doing well. And you, Mr. Kang Han Soo, please put away your weapon already! Haah! Really But how did you summon a Holy Sword when theres no Holy Sword in your Condition?
I clicked my tongue at Victorias inquiry.
And activated ck-Box.
Although I didnt want to go this far, I had no choice in order to quietly settle the situation.
Victoria. Look into my eyes.
Yes, Look me in the eyes and tell me. Just where did you get that unusual-looking Holy Sword?
Snap. (Eyes snapping open.)
I erased Victorias memory instead of answering, got rid of everything that happened after she met me.
The ne was destroyed in the air due to the old princes surprise attack, and the only survivors were her and me.
The n was to erase Victorias memories and pass it off as amnesia, and im that the culprit behind it is the young mermaiddy.
By doing so, I would be able to deal with the young mermaid in a legal way.
Furthermore, the truth behind the incident in the Pacific Ocean would forever be buried in the dark.
Victoria. Do you know who I am?
I should check if Victorias memory is cleanly erased.
Mr. Kang Han Soo. What are you saying all of a sudden?
Mm?
Uh, your face is too close! Too close Im telling you?! Ill turn a blind eye to the matter of the Holy Sword, so please give me space! Quickly!
Victoria thus pleaded with a bright-red face as she backed up.
Just what was going on here?
Victoria, whose memory should have been wiped, was just fine. I made a second attempt, but she didnt forget me.
In exchange
An iprehensible phenomenon urred.
?Race: Arch-Human
?Level: 1
?Job: Sorcerer(Willpower=Sorcery)
?Skills: Willpower(SS) Sorcery(SS) Swordsmanship(S) Immunity(S) Survivability(A)
?Condition: Agitated, Demon Sword, Confused, Oblivion
Victorias Level had dropped as low as it could go.
It wasnt just her either.

My Level had also fallen.
Although my Skills werent sealed along with my Level like when the old prince used that purple eye-beam some time ago, my Level was fixed at 1 like that time.
And my Job had changed to yboy.
Never have I seen such a crazy Status!
Treating me like a yboy when I lived 17 years decently and with great integrity on Earth!
As if it wasnt outrageously unfair enough that I was held captive for 17 years in a barbaric fantasy world, I thought it was too much.
How had this happened?
Status? Uh Huh?! My Level?!
Victoria tilted her head at overhearing me muttering to myself, following which she was shocked out of her wits herself after confirming her own Status.
I was still better off than her, however. While it was somewhat shocking that my Job had changed to yboy, I was able to take it calmly as I knew it would be restored to normal with the passage of time.
Really, howe Im ssified as a yboy when I havent even dated someone once properly?!
Something was up with this.
Power of a Hero
The young mermaiddy, who had peeked her nose out from underneath the bed nket, murmured to herself.
She seemed to know something.
It wasnt that this young mermaiddy was special. It was highly likely that she had information which was universally known by the aliens I had killed in the Pacific Ocean.
Common knowledge to them.
But unknown information to us.
That being the case, I decided to put killing her on hold for the time being.
Miss mermaid. Shut your gills and listen carefully. If you answer what Im going to ask quick and smart, Ill kill you swiftly without pain.
Of course, I had no mind to spare her life.
It had to be made known that the natural disaster that urred in Earths Pacific Ocean was caused by the marital quarrel of aliens.
Victoriained from the side.
Mr. Kang Han Soo! Who would answer if you threaten them like that!
Okay.
Youre okay with that?! Look here! Dont be giving up on your precious life so easily! Ill look strange if you agree so readily!
If Im going to die anyway, I want to diefortably
The young mermaiddy made a sensible judgement as she trembled. Shes quite good for an idiotic fish head, huh?
I wont kill you so dont worry.
Victoria began to sell nonsense.
As a righteous Hero, I didnt tell lies even if I were to suffer losses, but it seemed that Victoria was intending to reassure the young mermaid by saying she would be spared, then deal with her after extracting all the information she had.
What a truly frightening woman.
R-really? That scary male as well?
Of course. So long as youpletely disarm yourself and cooperate. First, please summon your golem and move it to that corner.
She even requested for disarmament for an easy kill.
Okay.
The foolish young mermaid believed in the cunning Victorias words and obediently summoned her golem.
She had willingly given up the best weapon and shield she could use in her exhausted state.
Pop.
A beautiful female-type golem that wasnt wearing a stitch of clothing was summoned.
It was a Valkyrie, which was the main force of the aliens, but as much as it was for personal use, its performance was superior to that of mass-production models.
Its Status was a bit strange, however.
?Race: Old Golem
?Level: 1
?Job: Prince(National Power=Willpower)
?Skills: Willpower(Z) Infiltration(Z) Charm(S) Laundry(A) Massage(A)
?Condition: Possessed, Exhausted, Oblivion, Despair, Resignment
Anyone could see that it was an attractive-looking female type, yet its Job was Prince, and its set of Skills was extremely suspicious as well.
I inly stared at the golem that was moving to the corner.
The golem surreptitiously avoided my gaze.
You, could you be?
I am a household golem. I do not know anything.
It wasnt a repechage, but in any case, we had met again.
Chapter 85 - When will I get to go home?
Chapter 85: When will I get to go home?
When the mermaid saw the stat of beautiful summoned golem, she began to get excited.
Z grade skill?! Theres even two?!
As if she was not familiar with the surrounding district she went, but by noticing the seemingly important information, such as stats, that can be acknowledged everywhere, she seemed to realize what it was faintly.
How am I sure of this?
The Victorias expression was serious.
Her face showed that she needs time to write a will.
Factoria. Rx.
Mr. Kang Han Soo! Do I look like I can calm down?! Its a transcendent, a transcendent! Ah! You may not know what the Z rating is. Listen. Its The next step of SSS rating. Its only an area of fantasy. Only one of the champions of the earth has achieved the ultimate ground! Even if 100 strong people like me cant win against it.
Youre wrong.
Yes?
A million of you.
The 100-person factory is not enough.
Harsh! No, now is the time for such thing. Um, Mr. Kang Han Soo? What are you doing now?
Im conversing with that golem.
Anyway,I mean. Sigh! Whatever! Do what you need to do. Now that I think about it, I was the stupid one. Were in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, theres nowhere to run away anyway.
With her shoulders drooping, Factoria gave into despair.
I ignored her and looked at the golem.
Looking again it, there was no difference.
The old prince that I thought I perfectly eliminated.
But he took refuge in the golem, which was used by ady in his harem.
Whether it was the princes life insurance from a long time ago, or the momentary wit of a mermaid.
The important thing is that the old prince is still alive.
He was only a soul that had lost his body, but he brought two of his most important transcendent skills.
If the old prince had been in the flesh of a person, not a golem, I would not have even searched for him.
As soon as I saw it, I would have gotten rid of him.
However, it was a golem.
This golem is made for houseware?
Golems are tools.
Soul-like things didnt even matter.
Special golem can be bartered and also be imed with permanent ownership, like a sword.
Only thing is that only one is allowed.
Ms.Mermaid. I like this housekeeping Android, but wont you exchange it with mytest golem? What, its a Sage-made golem? Inside this there is an ancient heroic soul!
Wait a minute!
What is it again now?
I asked the mermaiddy, but the wrong girl showed interest first.
Did the Sage of the Tower of the Sage make the golem?
The Factoria asked for asked for another confirmation.
After gathering much patience, then I answered calmly.
Yes.
Its, its amazing. The Sage hated the golems as he viewed them as a pathetic trick of mage.
Like The Factorias monologue, shes right about that Sage loathing the golems.
However, the harmony of yin and yang are like that of a cosmic providence, meaning that its above the mundane human philosophy.
I summoned golem D.
Boing.
Master! Youre too much! How could you pass me on to an unidentified evil alien!
As soon as Golem D was summoned, itined.
However, I had nothing to regret. This golem is only a product with set blueprint. If only the materials and manpower are sufficient, mass production is possible.
The heroic spirit inside was a bit of a shame to lose it, but it wasntparable to an old prince with two transcendental skills.
I ignored Golem Ds protest and looked back at Factoria.
I didnt even have to ask for an answer.
Wow! This is the golem that the Sage developed! It has an amazing stats! Gasp! This material that makes up the hair, could it really be? Its really amazing!
To make it look aesthetically pleasing, to pour in so much mythical gold generously Im already looking forward to seeing how awesome the interior is.
Its not really better than that home-welfare Valkyrie?
If the two fight, the conclusion wille out in 1 second.
Maybe, but even if we marvel at the incandescent light bulbs invented by Edison, but we disregard the suns light. Same can be said about this..
I have tried to extract the Valkyrie, which had been frozen and captured just before the self-destruct, but I couldnt interpret the structure at all. However, this golembines magic and science
Its the real deal. Its a revolution in human science!
Factorias praises continued without stopping.
She couldnt stand it anymore, and she approached Golem D, and she began to touch and graze all over the ce.
Then she asks.
Heroic Golem. Do you feel my touch?
Ahhh. Yes, so dont touch me over. Kyah?!
Its amazing!
Isnt that sexual harassment, even among women?
It might be OK because its a robot.
Anyway,
Mermaid. Lets trade it with my golem.
Yes Yes!
What was the saying again, youre spitting on smiling face? The mermaiddy who saw my friendly face quickly agreed.
However.
Wait a minute!
The old golem, listening from the corner, intervened as if it were disturbing.
Owners are talking right now. Golem should go out over there.
Ensure her safety. Then I will follow you without struggle. No, you really cant be needing a home-welfare golem, right? No, if you put your hand on her, youre going to be unable get home-welfare golem.
Hm..
I pretended to think as i heard the threat that is not a threat.
I wont lose anything at all. In the first ce, Golem Ds design was thrown out there and created in the Magic Kingdom.
It didnt cost any money, not even abor fee.
But if I ept it right away, and prince asks, Was I too hasty? then he bes suspicious, therefore Im taking my time on answering.
The princes face became increasingly anxious that it has be a pretty housekeeper robot. It couldnt stand it anymore and asked first.
What will you do?
It means that the time is ripe.
Ok. I promise to not touch the mermaid.
Dont y with words, make sure that shes safe. What I mean is to not make mistakes or make shameless excuses that others have touched her.
Sniff! I lived only in deception.
Promise me. I do not believe in you.
The old golem growled with a scalding look.
But it didnt look threatening at all because it was in a beautiful Android body. Instead of a threat, I heard it as, Youre tired tonight, so just go to rest please. says the seemingly Oriental Maid.
Should I scoff at it?
This time, however, I endured.
It was called the Far-sighted n. Its easy to catch a fish here, but you dont get the useful golem.
Alright, I will do what I can do within my limits to keep her safe!
Lets paint the big picture for the distant future.
Haa. How could my positione to be like this..
The old golem sighed, even if he asked me to do what it wanted.
Dont worry, I will ve you away?
*
The process of exchanging golems was very simple, even when the sage was given ownership of the superbot Captain Fantasy.
Ring!
Ring!
Just like ve documents exchange, youy your hands on the core of the Golem and share the promised spells and passwords.
At this point, its possible to buy and run off with the orders and passwords, but the Golems arent able to break free from contract, so it would be pointless to do so.
Anyway, the contract was over quickly.
Rather, it took longer to say goodbye in pointless dramatic emotional way.
Prince. Im so sorry
No, you did your best. Im satisfied with just that.
The mermaid and the housekeeper golem exchanged bitter smiles.
Should I input my blessing as well?
Tin Can. Youve heard the contract? Keep that mermaid safe. If you cant keep her safe, Ill soak you in the maggi sauce and decorate you.
Hiik?!
Golem D nodded furiously with the momentum that could break its neck. It seemed to understand.
I changed my password as soon as the old golem was transferred to me.
With that, contract and the deal ends.
Golem D?
Hello, beautiful new owner! Im very happy to hear that the mermaid, that used to keep mepany, came to be my owner. Im very happy to server under you. Now, even though it is the body of the golem, I was a Hero. I swear here that I will protect you until the day when this body has broken down and stops working.
Golem D, who summoned The Sword 3 just before it was broken, knelt in front of the mermaid like a knight.
The mermaid looked a little surprised.
The hero is in the golem?
Yes, its unbelievable, but its true.
Thats right. Its not like we have a rtionship that can be pitched away, thank you very much for the future. What happens to be your name? Oh noble Hero.
Wahh!
Suddenly, Golem D cried.
Why, why do you do that?! What did I say?!
Finally. I finally meet the owner who will call me my name. No matter how much you teach that person, its Tin Can every day. Wah! Thank you, new owner. With all my heart
Im going to take care of you.
the pain of your heart seems deep.
It was very ufortable for me to hear it from so close-by.
Why do you need a good name for a measly golem thats not even a superbot? You should be thankful that I didnt disassemble you.
Then, a lovely voice could be heard from the side.
The tone was the opposite however.
My name is Boris. Boris. I will never cooperate if you do not call me by my name.
This scammer Tin can! That wasnt in the contract!
Iined to old prince.
Youre going toin about contract which is only basic courtesy!
Youre calling the master you. I dont care about the title-like and such.
I will call you Kang Han Soo from now on.
You can just call me you.
It doesnt mean that the main contract will be lifted.
Names are important! You- Ku! Name gives the power of divinity that of invibility that makes the existence of what Kang Han Soo is. It is in a higher concept than a false force, a Heros power.
So far, youve only noticed your level and skill, but if you want to be stronger than you are now, look no further into your race and profession.
Race huh .
It was an interesting story.
Is it because I was ssified as chaos?
I think it was good in exchanging golems.
Golem D with set blueprint can be crafted as much as possible, but Boris had useful information and power for me.
Boris.
Im the type of person who dont memorize a mans name.
Hey. Boris is a mans name.
My soul is a man.
Now youre a pretty Android, no matter how you look. How about epting reality and changing it to a feminine name?
I would rather perish. That is myst bit of ego.
So Boris became Boris.
However, this was not enough.
Although the housekeeper golem was strengthened by a powerful soul, it did not change its unfortunate body.
So I decided to upgrade.
The divinity and the magi were pushed in turn.
However is this because it was born like Sword 3? The devil and the devil worshippers favorite Magi could not be intermixed.
Instead.
?Race: Old Golem

The affinity to divinity was terrifying.
If I had not been able to pour out divinity indefinitely with the skill infinite, I would have been sucked out quick.
The job is the Hanyeo(Ů).
In English, maid.
The maid excels at doing more odd chores as master bes stronger.
The one in question still call itself a man, but now I have been recognized as a transcendent being who is a woman to the bone.
Boris. Theres a lot I want to hear.
Hngt! Dont expect information that will do harm to the country.
Lets start with that then, that country. Hu hu, rx. This is not a betrayal. Its like a pre-tour before you go sightseeing.
Youre a fabricator once you open your mouth.
Its SSS ss!
Im notplimenting you!
Factoria, who was listening to our conversation, smiled and asked.
It may sound a little strange, but did you know each other for a long time?
Nope.
I dont know him.
We met for the first time today.
Knock knock.
I could hear the knocking on the door of that violent hero tattered and the captains room.
When I looked at the clock, it was about time of arrival.
Outside the door, the captain said.
Victoria Boss. A salvage ship and a rescue ship arrived, and theres a rush of requests to guide captured alien recruits, because of the aviation ident
I know youre struggling with distress, but I think youll have to hurry up.
guide the mermaids recruits?
Mr. Kang Han Soo, you know it in your heart that you want to go back home, but now youre not an outsider, so coulde with me. Hiik?! Your expression ! Its scary! Its really scary!
This girl is really too much! Which countrysw is to spit on smiling face? Is that what your countrys moral book say?
We were transferred to the rescue ship, and we moved to the Pacifics third maritime city, which Factoria operates.
Unintentionally, your hands may slip.
By the way.
When do I go home?
When I arrive at the maritime city, Ill have to call home. Then my mothers tennis racket might slip less.
Chapter 86 - Why is A-Class Hero…?
Chapter 86: Why is A-ss Hero?
Posted on October 27, 2019 by fujimaru Leave a reply
From foreign couples fight, to getting directly getting messed up in marine city, it was a mess.
If Factoria hadnt brought the mermaid, they would have sent the salvage and rescue boats muchter. It was that hectic.
Then Factoria had also lost her mind.
Ah, my factory .
She looked devastated as she looked over the wrecked military warehouse, and containers.
There were many lost materials floating in the endless waves .
Recovery aside, if the same situation is repeated, the operation itself may be impossible and the business itself may have to be shut-down.
This however, has nothing to do with me.
So I led the mermaiddy to the hotel.
Originally, as soon as one got off the rescue boat, one had to go through aplicated process, such as identification and such, but now that the city is in turmoil, so everything was nced over.
Afterwards, I called home right away.
I was worried if my new phone number has changed or my memory was wrong, but fortunately it didnt happen.
There was a different problem however.
Beep beep beep beep.
My parents did not answer the phone at all and ended the call instantly. It must have been mistaken for voice phishing by seeing the foreign number.
This is driving me crazy
So I used different means.
First by texting, Im the son who left home. Please answer the phone! And then called again.
This time it was sessful.
But,
Whats wrong with you? Huhu. Kid who called Mom, mom but now what mother? Your tone became sophisticated. Why? Ran out of money, arrogance!
Did your parents faces juste to mind? If youre independent, you should have ended it as such. What? Ho Ho! This son of mine who went out from home knows how to joke now. That so called high school friend of yours reported you went missing. You talk good for the position you were in! When I listened to that friend, you dragged around pretty girls like ves.
And flirting? Are you insane now? When I first heard it, I thought it was about someone else of ugly little son of different house from ours. Whenever such things happened in the news,
I clicked my tongue and scolded about such thing every time, but my son was in the middle of. . Did you know that I was so surprised that I ate heart medicine that I hadnt touched for thest 20 years? Sigh .
No matter how jobs of heroes have be during these strange times, you should protect whats right. Kang Hansoo. This mother never raised you like that. Dont y around with other families dear daughters. How upset would they be if their parents knew? What? Do you have permission from their parents? Youre big and independent?
Hoo! Can you say that in front of your father? He is saying. To get my love, when I was so popr at the university, he sang a shameful bit of his own song to me. Hmm? I told him to do that? Ho Ho! what do you mean? Does your father say that? Honey- hmm? He was just here by my side .
Anyway, dont sneak around the house until youve tidied up and brought your truedy and grandson. If you continue to screw around in delusional-like a harem, I willmit suicide while youre watching me. And wait. I will get your dad . Where did this person go? Hanging up for now. Lets talkter. Honey ~
Id like to talk to you about the old times.
Beep.|
My mothers phone hung up.
Iy down on the couch that was nearby.
I, Im tired .
I couldnt get home.
Aside from my parents being upset, Alumni A has made a very big misunderstanding because he said something strange.
What do you mean harem?
That doesnt suit me at all.
What should I do?
You have a wonderful mother. Shes deeply hurt by her childs passing in the fantasy world.
Shut up.
Closing your eyes does not change the truth-
I dismissed sarcastic Boris summon.
Well, its okay. I can get rid of the misunderstandings anytime.
Anyways, there is a lot of time ahead.
The final goal is to return to being ordinary and cultured citizen. I also learned how to hide the most annoying stats from the short lecture from Boris.
ck box.
I heard the name of the skill, but did not remember it.
Boris said the cause was I wasnt qualified to hear the name because I was too weak.
The guy who was defeated by that ipetent man. Ah! Should I say woman now?
Anyway.
Influential yers are gathering at this maritime city.
Their purpose is to recruit the mermaid.
After dealing with this problem, I had nned to go home. It didnt seem like it would take that long.
Ururu.
I heard footsteps of peopleing this way.
In addition to footsteps, the heart beats and breaths from the tension just before the battle is mixed within.
This type of situation has been awhile.
This is because I have always been like this after 2nd ythrough of Fantasia. Knowing the future that will happen in the future I coped with whatever and moved on first.
Did I get used to that ce?
I didnt think my opponent would attack first. Or was he ignorant because of earths gentlemanliness?
Whatever it is, only augh came out.
Sir A ss Hero. There are a lot of people outside.
The mermaid who was showering without being tired of water, the water-loving race came out and gave me a glimpse of nakedness and told me so.
My face, which was slightly wrinkled, was released. Not because of the fantastic c bottle shape of the mermaid who was the lover of the old prince.
That was due to the race characteristics of the mermaid.
A-ss Hero!
Mermaids instinctively capture the names of males they like. It is the wisdom of life that stupid fish have been able to sustain themselves without extinction.
I will deal with it. Go back.
I was misunderstood by my mother because of Alumni A.
But if it is known that I was in a hotel with a naked woman, excuses will not work.
The most frightening development was to say that I was responsible for her and I marryied this stupid fish.
It was terrible just imagining that alone.
Please release the captive prisoner.
A polite voice came from the door of the room.
In fact, it is thest ultimatum.
All the rooms above, below, left and right were seized. I was perfectly surrounded, except for the thick concrete walls.
Threatening the Sacred Hero ?
They were not as favorable as the barbarian Fantasia people. Is it because ofck of faith? Or is it .
I calmly closed my eyes and thought.
There are parents on Earth.
I had to keep in mind the possibility that someone who had a grudge against me would hurt my parents.
It is harder to defend than to save.
Lets say, if one shoots with a pistol or stabs a person with a knife, that person is just dead.
If this was a Fantasia continent, it would have already been annihted.
I would grab hold of everything, teach them who they were messing with, clean up the person who gave out the order and as well as the families and rtives, so that he would not have to repent.
This is thest warning. Release the prisoner in captivity.
I opened my eyes to the hurried voice.
The decision was over.
If you dont want to see your children and wife die in front of you, screw off.
Ill give you three seconds to think. Three, two .
Bang! Shatter!
Bombs that were set on the door of the room exploded, and those who descended like Tarzan on wire broke through the windows.
It was the special ops with a ck dress covered from head to toe.
They dropped a special smoke bomb into the cabin and then fired their rifles without hesitation.
Dudududu!
Fire came from the muzzle that had been loaded beforehand. In a very short time hundreds of bullets were shot at me.
A bullet flew from a building far away and targeted between my brows precisely.
All of those bullets were very fast.
So much that
The following happened almost simultaneously:
sh!
Ahh!
Kuuk?!
Ugh!
Just before the bullet hits the skin, the sacred white light bursts continuously, covering my body like a shield.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Holy
? Rating: Z
? ZZ: Exercise divine punishment. (0%)

S: Ignore general attribute attacks.

B: Purifies Dark Energy
C: Exercises sacred defenses.
D: Bless.
E: Withstands Dark Energy
F: Exercise sacred attacks.
Skill Divine Z effects was ruthlessly activated. Physical attacks are also included in the general attributes.
Therefore it returned all the attacks.
I do not know the exact principle of my skill.
Only the fact that the firepower,parable to the bullets kic energy, was reflected and hit the special ops.
The human body is weak.
Even without nuclear weapons humans die easily.
You dont need a loud rifle with such arge aperture and some infrared scope.
A palm-sized pistol and a 10-won bullet are enough.
If theres hundreds of those?
Pubububuk!
Bulletproof vests and bulletproof hats worn by the special ops were meaningless.
You might get lucky and live if you were shot once or twice, but as soon as they pulled the triggers, dozens of shots were scrambled.
All of that kic energy is reflected back.
What will happen?
Hududu, hudududuk .
Debris that had just been human bounced off in the opposite direction, and some fell out of the broken window.
Theyre using some good weapons?
It would have been that way if they were shooting on an ordinary human.
As soon as the bombardment disappeared, a special ops stationed in the corridor carried out the next operation.
The prisoner is in the shower! Charge ?
Confirm if its an anesthetic gun ?
Unconditional! For my country ?
Surrender and put your hands up above your head ?
Special ops that were rushing into the doorway of the cabin, destroyed by the bomb stopped, slurring the end of their words.
The smoke screens are thick, but because they can see with the infrared sensors on their bulletproof hats.
Hi guys. What country are you from? How about your wife and children? What about your parents? Do you not know that you are living on the money you kill?
I greeted them in good shape.
Even if its a Hero, how could he ?!
Monster!
C, crazy! Shoot!
They all started shooting asmandos wanted more brutal violence than gentleman dialogue.
But it did not prate my Divine Z.
Per every shots, death.
Frightened and unable to make a normal judgment, they pulled the triggers and like moths on fire they repeated the death like the friends that left first.
And only one left.
Huhu! Why dont you shoot? Will you break themand of your boss?
I, I am themander
In response to the survivors rebuttal, I was speechless.
Hmm. So you are themander. Ignored my warning about killing your wife and children, I thought my dumb friend here would look stupider. Hiya ~ So young
To think you would be a handsome man! Your wife and daughter would like you. Ah! Are you perhaps single, and thats why you ignored my warning?
Crazy .
How could you say Im crazy. Youre being too harsh. I havent done anything yet. Not even self-defense, I stayed still.
The terrifiedmander walked backwards.
Of course, I did not intend to send him back all fine and dandy.
Chuaaa-
Dark Energy, shoots out from my hand, and wrapped themanders whole body.
Dark Energy, that infiltrated the Earth mans body with little to no resistance, quickly established itself.
And corrupted.
Ho .
It was only made for demonic followers to quickly extract information from the watch guards, but there was an unexpected harvest.
? Race: Arc Human
? Level: 1
? upation: Knight (Loyalty Indomitable )
Skill: Dark Energy F
? Status: Chaos, Corruption, Obedience
A stat that just hadnt been in themander was created. Level 1 and only one skill was clear.
Did his job get reinterpreted by standard of fantasia?
Whatever it was, it was an interesting result.
If so .
Shouwu.
I gave it some more magi.
I was thinking of pulling out information from themander, but I decided to join the experiment to satisfy my curiosity.
The result came out quickly.
Kuaaaaa!
Duc, tuk .
A pair of ck wings emerged from the back of screamingmander.
ck horns emerged from the top of the ear.
Themanders modern battle gear broke the mood, but it was an image of the devil.
Hmm ~ this is an interesting result.
The race of dark knights I trained in the second ythrough was changed to Dark Human, but it was a mixed race.
No matter how Dark Energy was granted did not change like thismander.
Is it because he is an Earth human?
Race: Arc Daemon
? Level: 1
? upation: Noble(Family = grace )
? Skill: Dark Energy S
? status: Joy, Loyalty
The race has turned into a devil. It was not an ordinary devil, but a strong devil lineage called the superior species from birth.
It was an interesting find.
My king. I swear allegiance to you.
Themander, reborn as a high-level demon, knelt his head down on the ground beneath my feet.
It is not acting to beg for his life.
It was a loyaltying from the heart of the Dark Energy.
The hell you mean king . Ah! The upation is now a Demon King, so king is king. . hm?
I was embarrassed to respond humbly and inadvertently checked my job.
What is this thing doing again?
As the race turned into alien, the stats often broke down since I came to my beautiful home.

Chapter 87 - This is ridiculous!
Chapter 87: This is ridiculous!
You most certainly have been caught in a huge scheme.
The Demon King Fedonar must haveunched a campaign to catch me while he was vulnerable and try to get rid of the strongest Hero, Kang Hansoo.
Otherwise, my job as an A-ss Hero that is more difficult than going to a prestigious university couldnt have changed this drastically.
Yes, but
The job of the Demon King was not bad.
I used the Learn More feature.
[Demon King: An absolute being who reigns over all demons. Control over demons below the royalty. Innate Skill, Dark Energy, has reached the extremity in Comprehension. You are innately very vulnerable to Holy-type of skills. Also, when dealing with weaker Heroes, the level will fall equally.
Please be careful.]
Huh ~ The problem is divinities and Heroes?
Well, divinity is not a problem.
I have always carried divinity all over my body.
Even if I have been caught in the Vulnerable-operation of Demon Fedonar, the heavens and the earth know that Im justful A-ss Hero.
a hero?
I guess I can get and start making guesses once I get into it.
But before that,
It makes no sense to be a king and have only one servant!
I decided to do a head-count to use as a shield.
*
An indispensable surveince camera in modern society.
Where privacy was important, it was not installed, but it was built into some special opsbat suits.
Thanks to this, they noticed that they had failed to abduct prisoners.
From now on it is a fight against time.
I had no intention of defending.
From the Fantasia continent, mybat method was, with 17 years of experience. You hit me once, I hit you once!
Avoidance doesnt suit me.
Attack and smash until you get rid of all the trouble.
Thats how I survived 17 years on the Fantasia continent.
There are many customers who want to fall.
Even in the Fantasia continent, the reason for being vignt of demon followers in all countries is because of their rate of spreading.
Evil power is easily avable.
When you have a demon-like body, you have youth, health, strong body, long life, improved beauty, and high memory with aprehensive set.
Beauty, conglomerates, athletes, scientists, old men, politicians .
Although not necessarily a specific field, the power of the devil is attractive to everyone. As a result, supply cannot always keep up with demand.
Earth was no different. No, it was more terrible because the earth had no evil power.
It is estimated that demand will explode.
Sprinkle the Dark Energy.
Yes, your majesty.
Starting with the S-ss demon, who was themander, I focused solely on special ops surrounding the hotel.
Like the elites that they are, they trained the body and spirit with special training to the limit that ordinary people can reach, the special ops had nothing to reach beyond.
What theyrecking is level.
This was a problem I could not do anything about it.
Ah! That isnt so true I guess?
I decided to experiment straight away.
There were not only special ops around here. There were also many Heroes that belonged to ces such as nations and secret organizations.
If you die, they probably wontin?
This guy! Do you know where we belong to-? Kuek ?!
Jo, your job is the Demon King? *Gag-?!
I am a therapist. Im very useful- kyak ?!
I gave some thrashing for the Heroes.
The ones who resisted with tremendous vigor and I who overwhelmed them with just as much force I was given, but even then the level change was not visible.
After all, the Demon Kings penalty did not y.
Huh ~ A retired Hero is not a Hero?
If the job is not a Hero, the penalty does not seem to apply.
What if this guess is true?
Smirk.
The Demon King is not bad at all!
There is no Hero on earth.
Graduates get new jobs as they return to Earth.
On the Fantasia continent, each of them was in the position of protagonist. It was not an exaggeration to say that the world rolls for that one person.
Thats why each dimension was a duplicated world to foster one Hero.
But Earth is different.
The truth is that students who grew up like nts in a greenhouse came out Fantasia and learned the bitterness of society in earnest.
Network, kinship, embroidery, appearance, political quality, rtive evaluation .
They learn the fear of this and realize that more geniuses havee and settled in the world while they thought they were the best.
This is the reality.
Kuk?!
Kyak ?!
The power of love and friendship is dust in front of a real A-ss Hero, it was only a dust.
Lets teach the fear of society to those fake Heroes who graduated before me and were enjoying their cultural life.
With the fist of 17 years of experience and tears!
Drop, Puk, Flop.
The fake Heroes fell in front of me.
Lets start the experiment. Kill.
Yes, your majesty.
Demon Commander removed the Military Dagger from his arms. Then, after putting the S-grade Dark Energy on the tip of the knife, he pierced the soldiers Adams apple without hesitation.
Kuek ?!
The Hero who was beaten by me was stretched out could not resist and let his life go on.
From now on it was important.
Experience?
Race: Arc Daemon
? Level: 71
? upation: Aristocrat
? Skill: Dark Energy S, Murder F
? Status: Growth
As expected, the level of Commander Devil has risen. But his job was not a Hero, so his experience was poor.
Still, I was satisfied.
The important thing is that the level has risen.
Its just good as a bargaining material.
I did not intend to be satisfied here.
If you make a move, you should see it to the end. If you stop halfway along the way, youll see a lot of cases that lead to bad results, either retaliation or remorse.
What did I learn from that?
If you kill today, tomorrow will be safe!
Shouwu-
Swaaa-
I have increased the amount of S-ss demons. If I infuse the Dark Energy some more, even SS grades would be possible. It was encouraging for fiercepetition and improvement to work efficiently that ignoredborw, such a n was introduced.
Listen, fallen things. If you want to reach SS level, increase your useful followers even more!
The demons that received my orders scattered.
Their ideas were simr.
They moved quickly to corrupt the old boss who gave them orders.
Huh. Boss.
Team Leader. It will be different now.
I want her to . Huh.
This is another attraction of Dark Energy.
It doesnt matter if your opponent is the president, gold spoon-fed or a senior citizen. If only Dark Energys rating is rtively high, then anyone can be called a ve.
Anyone would have dreamed of it at least once.
Dominating your own superiors!
On the Fantasia continent, there were many idiots who had hidden this desire and got exposed to it before.
Such as a sneakymoner who tried to enve a noble princess as a demon follower?
Obviously there will be many simr cases on Earth.
But for me it did not matter.
I just have to spread the Dark Energy quickly.
As a Demon King, new abilities were opened up.
I can see right away what my demons were doing.
I didnt see and hear it myself, but I sensed it like a hidden camera hidden nearby.
Yes. Its like,
Its simr to what all those faculty members were doing.
The demons have taken over all the ports and airports in the Third Pacific Marine-time city.
Armed with modern weapons, they were turned into demons followers with the Demons Dark Energy.
Two be four, four be eight, eight became sixteen.
The epidemic was gradually elerating.
Nevertheless, all this work was done very quietly.
There was nothing the Heroes could do.
It was simr to Zeke(?).
They noticed the demon follower after seeing the stats, but when the demon follower hid the wings and horns and acted like regr civilian, then there was no way to prove anything.
No, what if you prove it again?
Earth does not kill or persecute people who have notmitted sin. How would you conclude that the devil is not human? What if they knew them as their neighbors and families.
In the meantime, the demons increased their number.
This was the result.
Pleasee in, Master of Demons.
The worms that have attacked your majesty are gathered in this room.
This city hall is now your Majestys.
I led the mermaid and headed to City Halls municipal building. This is why evil politicians are gathered here.
Politicians aim to secure alien prisoners.
Victoria, the general manager and mayor, was somehow trying to stop their ambitions.
Their conversation came to my ears over the sound barrier.
I dont know how many times Ive already told you, but I promised the prisoners safety. Otherwise, this peaceful capture would not have happened. From the beginning it was a abusement of authority! Please follow the formal procedure if you want to ask for something.
We will guarantee the safety of aliens again.
Huh! What do you mean by abusement of authority! We are serious investors!
Chairman. I just left you with control.
It was very noisy, with non-sense of meaningless conversations.
Did they guess that the future will not change at all, no matter what they conclude?
Probably not.
If they knew, they would have run away.
I stopped at the door of the conference room.
However, it was a meeting ce with various representatives of the earth, so I got dressed up properly. I opened my cor and checked if my palm was slippery.
The sword in the right hand, and the sword in the left hand.
The equipment was perfect.
Behind me was mermaid waiting to serve the king.
I was now ready to enter.
Dark Energy poured on the loyal guards who politely opened the boardroom.
Kiiik-
Who are you!
How dare you enter during a meeting !
Kick him out quickly!
Those gathered in the City Hall meeting room wore their hostility.
So I decided to keep quiet.
Chuwaa-
Z-ss Dark Energy spread around my body.
Now, the faces of defenseless politicians were gradually released.
They came down to the floor from the chair they were sitting on. Then bowed their head again.
Wee.
I didnt know your majesty.
I see you my king.
These politicians as demons did not have wisdom amounting to an eye booger.
But just as sea turtles, which were just born from the sand and crawled instinctively into the sea, they naturally understood that I was their ruler.
Of course not everyone.
How, How could !
What do you mean Demon King!
Who are you?
There were humans who didnt know the situation and were still sitting on their chairs. They were former Heroes having original fantasia abilities.
ording to pre-report by a demon who worked at the city hall, he is the representative or vice president of the world-renowned guild.
No wonder the level and skill is considerable.
The Z-ss Dark Energy didnt work with them.
Sure enough .
But that doesnt mean it will be a fight.
I dont know if my level was a little lower due to the Devils Penalty, but the word overwhelming was not enough right now.
Race, level, skill, job, status.
There was nothing that can be pushed by them.
However, my stats did not seem clear to them. So they had the wrong idea.
That they can win.
Demon King of the Earth! My name is-
Drop, roll over.
The head of Hero B, who was standing up, rolled to the floor.
Oh my goodness! My sword has ran away from me!
This was not an intentional ident. The light sword that was taken from the old prince rushes away and freely drops Hero B.
In other words, I did not know.
Representative No. 3 .
The strongest guilds vice president .
The third man .
Hero C, who was trying to add to the power of friendship, jumped and put his heavy butt on the chair.
Hero D and Hero E are also seated again.
It seemed that they are ready to listen to the misunderstood Hero As words.
Mr.Kang Han-soo, this is ?
Nope, not ready, the Factoria asked a question in a pathetic tone.
Though she is weak in power, I thought that her head was quite fine, but I overestimated her.
Stupid. Im cleaning up the case.
Cleaning ?
I gave orders to fallen politicians. Go back to your beloved homnd and make your colleagues your minions.
This will even cleanly bring in star actors as well.
Politicians hurriedly exited the city hall meeting room.
Next,
Fish.
Yes. A-ss Hero.
This little mermaid knew how to live a social life. Even though my job had turned into a Demon King, I was called a Hero.
I seem to understand a little bit of why the old prince liked her.
Please recycle that trash.
As you said.
The little mermaid moved her hand like a musician.
Her job is a magician.
She knew how to professionally handle bodies and ghosts. It was one of the jobs I really wanted to try.
Because,
Jumps up.
The body of Hero B, whose neck was cut off, stood up like a tower.
It picked up his head on the floor and stood like an escort next to the master who gave it a false life.
Ah Weuhh .
The cut head struck a spooky voice, ignoring the body structure. The voice became cooler than ever before.
What shall I do to you guys now?
I could not just send the Heroes away who attended the meeting. Its not that annoying because the ck boxs oblivion doesnt work.
Still, I reassured them with a smile.
Hick ?!
Please save me!
Easy there! Im not eating- hm?
At that moment, a blue sh of light fell from the sky.
Exactly over my head.
Kwaaang!
Strongly built city hall building exploded.
Demons and humans were swept away in the aftermath of the blue light, they screamed and died out, and the Heroes and Victoria swept over the concrete ruins, because I didnt find them at all.
The only thing that is safe is the little Mermaid who summoned Golem D like a shield and invalidated the general attack.
I frowned upon seeing the broken sword 2.
This cant even be paid for
At the moment the power was released because of the divine and Dark Energy was not at all on the de.
I stared at the main culprit.
And look at the job and skills burst intoughter.
Race: Old Elf
? Level: 100
Job: Hero (500% XP)
? Skill: Sword ZZ, Millet Z, Naughty SS, Sword Strength S
? Status: Dagger, Golem, Dispatch, Reinforcement, Blessing
Chapter 88 - Natural Enemy
Chapter 88: Natural Enemy
The fairy Hero didnt really look like a bodybuilder, but he developed an inverted triangr upper body that is unlike most fairy.
Should I say its reminiscent of strong leopard?
The, the clothes was based on a ck long coat and his attire was that of a mercenary.
And the sword .
Excluding the job and stats, Hes a Hero! one can feel such vibe overflowing, and the uniform and monotonous attire he looks like a typical fantasy native Hero.
But this fairy is not an ordinary savage.
Unlike a Hero that is lukewarm with dreams and hopes filled to the brim, it was a real deal that is pursuing pragmatism.
Then fairy Hero talked.
You are . not Pedonar.
There was really a warrior who misunderstood me as a Demon King. Since Im leaking out this much Dark Energy like this, it cant be helped but misunderstood I guess?
Opponent is a warrior with a Sword ZZ Rank.
If his body is weak, I could deal with it, however his endurance is Z rating. It seems that he would not die just by getting hit unterally.
So, who are you?
There is no need for a name for those who are about to die.
Willingness to fight was clear.
But Im not the Demon King Pedonar as you just stated?
It does not matter even if youre not. I am obliged to punish when the Demon King sealed in fantasy worldes to reality. To do that, I needed to fix the level, and raise the skill. But it was always a question. Can I defeat the Demon King in this way
In my experience, it was the he has an ability to fight 100 times ande out victorious 100 times. But I would not give that away.
No, there was no time for that.
Pat.
It was because Fairy Hero kicked the ground and approached.
His speed was not that fast.
Ah! You crazy !
However that also applies to me too. Falling to level 100, my body dulled overall.
However, it was not to the point of not being react to the movement of the fairy warrior, but the problem was approaching foe.
I will test if my preparation was not in vain or not. New Demon King.
Dont get cheeky with me!
I canceled the summoning of Sword 2, which was broken and bothersome.
Then I responded with the light sword.
The face of the fairy warrior hardened as he saw the shining purple radiance.
Thats . Latest Dark Energyc Sword. I dont know which noble man you killed and obtained it, but it doesnt work on me, the owner of the Holy Sword Nucleon.
Grip*
As soon as the two swords collided, their body shook.
Then the festival of skills began.
While confronting Holy Sword Nucleon, the Fairy Hero moved in a mysterious way, and he soon tried to dig deep into my abdomen.
This was not some special skill of a sword.
It was pure skill of fairy Hero who has trained enough to reach the transcendental ZZ rating. His skill was at the point of outside ofmon sense and rules.
However, I also did not stand still. The transcendental realm is not exclusive to the Fairy Hero.
I defended my abdomen by raising my divinity instantaneously. Then I lowered my light sword in my hand.
You hit me once, I hit you once!
There was some sense of recklessness, but there was no other choice, because I knew there was no chance in winning without this kind of action.
Chuak! Chuak!
We never avoided from our confrontation.
Because of our fighting style, we instinctively knew that the one who first tries to dodge would be falling on the losing side, this is inevitable because of ourbat style itself.
It really seems Endurance has not been trained normally .
Fairy Heros Endurance Z is not just for show. Without the willpower to withstand pain and injury while not even raising an eyebrow, its hard to obtain it.
I was raised while getting beaten up by my big sisters.
Fairy Hero was smiling while talking. Somehow, it may not be because of a simple feeling that the smile looks so bleak.
We exchanged our swords again.
But the results were different this time.
Chuak-!
My abdomen, protected by the divinity, was bypassed and the membrane was cut horizontally.
My lightsaber, on the other hand, scratched the shoulder of Fairy Hero. It was because the armor he wears is quite strong.
What is this unfairness?
Did you think I would fight against the Demon King while naked?
I couldnt think of anything to refute.
Yes. The opponent was a Hero specialized against Demon Kings. He focused on strengthening himself, not with some unstable forces such as love and friendship.
More external than just stats.
So his armor was very well made.
It was not a can-like armormonly used on the Fantasia continent. It was a battle suit that would appear in science fiction in the near future.
It was very strong and flexible.
Oops! It was not time to rx.
Kuk !
I who was cut deeply in the abdomen backed away bit. I did block with my divinity, but the divinity itself was damaged by the formidable Holy Sword, possessed by the Fairy Hero.
However Fairy Hero seemed to disagree.
Amazing. I thought the waist would have been cut through by the previous blow, but the you the Demon King possesses the divinity of the transcendental realm. Is that how you can easily heal the wounds damaged? Its amazing.
Thats what I want to say.
Surrk.
The wounds of opened by Holy Sword Nucleon narrowed bit by but. It tried to burst every time I moved my waist roughly, but my regeneration was excellent, so it was not a problem.
However this did not improve the situation.
The exchanges continued.
Born as fragile fairies armed with solid armor topensate for the weakness, it was not just annoying.
This couldnt have happened in the Fantasia continent.
The stronger the armor, the heavier and less flexible. The agility of the fairy race would no longer be able to be utilized.
But the power of science was awesome.
Of course, this is also because of me falling to level 100. If it was around 500 levels, then it would have been meaningless with or without armor.
Its the same whether it be paper or steel.
But the current level fell to 100 levels was not only just annoying. There was no way to break through that armor.
So I decided to call reinforcement.
Boris!
I summoned the pretty houseware golem.
Boris ? That name is . Gagging*-?!
The fairy warrior tried to say something, but he was kicked on his face by Boris and flew back.
Golem is not affected by the Demon Kings penalty.
No matter how powerful ZZ rating that has reached the level of 100 is, the proper efficiency will note out. So beating a level 999 golems with transcendental skills was almost impossible.
But I frowned.
Hey. You should have just killed it in one shot.
You mean to kill the Swordman teacher of the Royal Middle School? Even though I became like this, I will not participate in harming my country. But Kang Han Soo, Ill help you earn the time to runaway. Ha! To think that the day I must attack my esteemed teacher wille like this.
Not just attack, just kill him.
Shut up. You inconsiderate Hero. If it werent for the first promise, you who kill my girls, I would have let you die here.
Kung!
I could not refute and just shut my mouth.
While doing so, I thought.
Boris says hes a respected swordsman instructor.
It wasnt a staff sent by the grudgeful fantasy god, but an assassin sent to deal with the Demon King by the First Hero.
Is the First Hero guarding against the resurrection of Demon King Pedonar?
Whatever it was, its absurd.
Then,
Come! My friend!
The fairy Hero took off the distorted helmet and shouted loudly.
And a fairy woman of 2 meter in height appeared.
With twin-sword in both hands, she possesses a physical figure that has a crooked and uneven chest.
The problem was not that.
A Golem for golem? Its thorough!
This woman was a Fairy Heros golem.
He prepared very firmly to break the Demon King. Golem stats were also well expressed.
Race: Old Golem
Level: 999+
Job: Exorcist (Demon Damage )
? Skill: Twin-Sword MAX Anti-Mage MAX Holy SS Adamant S Purification S
? Status: Sword, Blessing, Enhance, Amplify, Overheat
It was dangerous, and its very much so.
Boris said in a nervous tone.
Its not the time to rx. Give me my sword back. Then I will buy you some time somehow. The opponent is an old lover of the Sword instructor. Shes the daughter of Demon King Pedonar,
a historical person that was killed. Its not an easy opponent. And . Lets stop talking.
He was to face the golem as a battle golem, even though it was for home-use.
I kind of want to say that.
I returned the light-saber to the previous owner without asking or anything. For now I know that Boris is better than me.
But I did not return it to buy me some time to run away.
Boris. Keep that golem nice and tight.
Foolish .
I charged in while ignoring Boriss rant.
Activated Pure Dark Energy without Divinity.
By bing a Demon King, the skills andprehension and utilizing Dark Energy has increased. When it was the sixth time battling the Demon King, I who was misunderstood as his daughters boyfriend was able to gain some experience from it, it helped.
I created a pure spear of Dark Energy.
I changed my approach to knowing that I couldnt beat the Hero in sword fight that has ZZ rating in sword.
You think it will be better this way!
No.
Even I know that.
Dark Energy that touched the Nucleon was easily destroyed.
But I expected this though.
I discharged the Dark Energy without disappointing or giving up. Thanks to the skill Infinite, Dark Energy became infinite, so I squeezed it without stopping.
ChuaaaaC
And I just scattered it in the air.
Soon, the surroundings were full of Dark Energy. But I was not satisfied and continued to pour the Dark Energy.
While that happened, my body was not safe in the meantime.
I was full of cuts and punctures from the Holy Sword.
Slide .
However, as the Dark Energy sprayed into the air, it was reabsorbed into my body, and it constantly supplied me with new blood and flesh.
From nothing to creation.
The Demon King, the pinnacle of all Demons, was thus annoying.
That is why you need a Holy Sword.
So thats why Demon King is called a Demon King?
Fairy Hero grinds his teeth and mutter as he talked.
I was not so simple as sticking my neck and be cut.
The curse of the Demon.
Whenever a fatal wound urred to me, it cursed the Fairy Hero. If I seed in nting the Dark Energy, its guaranteed to be my win.
But this was also blocked by the Holy Sword.
That Holy Sword. Its really annoying!
When I think about it, I was as well.
Ive knocked out Demon Pedonar without the Holy Sword in the first round.
As a result, Dark Energy prated the body.
But no graduate, except me, fell to Dark Energy. For they fell the demon with the Holy Sword.
In other words,
Holy Sword Nucleon.
The Sword that-I-somehow-memorized-the-name-of was the only thing that needed to be dealt with.
You, the Demon King, who deals with divinity, is the one thats annoying. There is no hope for you. She will break your golem and soone to support me. Then its all over.
Fairy Hero who kindly teaches me my terrible future.
Thank you for thement.
I returned my thanks with Dark Energy in return.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Hmph! Then struggle until the end, Demon King.
Did your girlfriend die like that too?
You !
Infuriated Fairy Heros Holy Sword destroyed my Dark Energy Spear. But I dealt with that by making a new spear, like its nothing significant.
I cant win with a simple approach.
So I used a shortcut.
The scattered Dark Energy all around me became my attack.
Dark Energy Arrow, Dark Energy Chain, Dark Energy Hook, Dark Energy Tack, Dark Energy Fog, Dark Energy Lash, Dark Energy Bomb, Dark Energy Shield, Dark Energy Barrier .
Dark Energy turned into anything.
I dealt with the right means ording to the situation.
As a result, the more I got used to dealing with Dark Energy, the more I was able to utilize it. It was a long battle, thanks to my being immune to divine attacks.
However,
Boom-!
The hateful fate did not give me time to learn.
Kek! Damn . If it were not being from my country
Boris was not in good condition, because he was at the point of being discarded, and the summons was released.
What about the enemy?
Demon King. Kill !
A Fairy Heros golem rushed to me after defeating the houseware golem. Like an exorcist, she rejected all the Dark Energy and ran wild.
Its a Demons natural enemy!
In addition, the skill and the level exceeding level 999 . With Demon Lords Penalty in effect, I can not deal with her and try to be a strong man.
The probability that I survive here converges to 0%. . wait a minute!
Pop!
I summoned Holy Sword 2.
And stabbed my heart without hesitation.
The broken de dug deep. Originally, it had to be apanied by tremendous pain, but it had nothing to do with me.
Suicide ?
Why ?
Fairy Hero and golem jumped a little and stopped.
It was the face face of iprehension.
That can only be so.
I also did not notice when my Dark Energys understanding was low, but now I finally realize the truth after I faced the 6th Demon King Pedonar.
That is .
Shoot Ah!
Dark Energy soared like a waterfall from my body, which was separated by Holy Sword 2, and it instantly covered the world.
As the purple eyes of the old prince did.
? Race: Chaos Human
? Level: 1
? upation: A
Skill: Dark Energy Z Divinity Z Blessed Z
? Status: Oblivion
All stats were sealed nicely.
Myds. Should we y the second round fair and square?
From now on, we will put down unfair stats for a moment, and fight until our guts pop out with naked stat.
I, the organizer, was no exception.
Crack*
The Just A-ss Heros Wings were created on my back. The visual is a bit but not its cheating.
Chapter 89: Justice always wins!
Chapter 89: Justice always wins!
Thi, This is the strength of Him !
How could a mere Demon King !
Fairy Hero and golem seemed to have noticed.
But their guess was only half right.
I didnt seal everyones stats with the power of The First Hero.
This is the specialty of the job called the Demon King.
Fantasia dimension, the birthce of fantasy-like stats, flows around in a giant scenario called The Hero vs. the Demon.
Just as a school without students cant be maintained, the world is not stable if one of the main actor, the Hero or the Demon King, is missing.
Now herees the problem.
What if the fantasy world is not established?
There will be no such thing as status anymore.
Thats why if the Hero defeats the Demon King, he graduates without saying goodbye to hispanions.
Even if only one of them is missing, the fantasy copses.
And currently my job was the Demon King.
Reality patch came out beautifully ?
Of course, I did not die.
It was because of the demonstration of the Demon King Pedonar on 6th run who gave me the secret.
The skill that confuses the fantasy world that demon king is dead!
But there are some conditions.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Dark Energy
? Rating: Z (The raw said MAX but it seems to be a mistake)
? ZZ: The One Who Have Fallen Angels.
? Z: Be a Demon Royalty. (0%)
? SSS: Resist Divinity.
?SS: Exercises false magic.
? S: Be a nobleman of demons.
?A: Exercise evil defenses.
?B: Curses the target.
?C: Uses evil attacks.
?D: Corrupt the target.
?E: Exercises false life.
? F: Be a ve to the devil.
Dark Energy must reach the minimum of Z rank.
There is One interesting fact about this.
With the exception of the sixth round where my level was extremely high, universally Demon King Pedonar had a fixed SSS-rank on Dark Energy.
The transcendental area could not be reached.
Thus, Demon KIng Pedonar could not be a real King. His Job is definitely a Demon King, but it was not recognized as a skill.
Except for the sixth round
But I have met this condition.
My upation is the Demon King, Dark Energy skill is also Z rank.
This is the end of fantasy.
First of all, you.
Flutter!
With my wings wide open, I shot straight into the golem.
It was unknown how long the sealed stats wouldst. At this point, its about how long the fantasy system will be left in a confused state.
If when the seal is released, its logical to get rid of the most threatening object first.
What is the golems current ability?
Race: Old Golem
? Level: 1
? upation: E
? Skill:-
? Status: Oblivion
It was only a pretty well made Android.
There is no skill in the transcendental area because all skills are sealed.
The races original solid body remains intact, but this time the level caught its ankle.
It literally caught its ankle.
Wha, What
Lets not even talk about avoiding, the golem could not even move its body.
It would have been different if it were a product of pure science, but the output of the golem with fantasy technology is proportional to its level.
Whats level 1?
It is like wearing a 100kg armor to a thin woman.
This was the case for Golem.
No ~!
Fairy Hero yelled and ran to save the golem, butpared to my wings, his steps were infinitely slower.
Sword Art ZZ did not help either.
Fairy Hero, like thest outbreak, shed out with Nucleon sword vertically into the air where I was.
Originally, sword would have at least shot out and flew.
But now, nothing happened until a tiny breeze came forth.
Fook! Pooh! Cwazik!
Righteous Heros wings prated the body of the wicked golem.
Immediately after, I pulled back without hesitation.
Tu, tuk, tududuk. .
The wires that make up the golem were torn out.
Originally the golem wouldnt have been so easily destroyed, but now it was destroyed so simply.
I should bring this back as a souvenir!
The head of the golem was gathered on my left hand.
Of course, I didnt pack the things down below the neck of the pretty head.
You insonlenttt!
The red-eyed Fairy Hero came dashing towards me. Even if he fell to level 1, the movement was impressive.
Race: Old Elf
? Level: 1
? upation: D
? Skill: Sword Art ZZ Endurance Z
? Status: Oblivion
The Sword Arts rank is the thing that shows the pure ability of this Fairy Hero.
His warnings could not be ignored by even me.
Lets see the sh of Swordsmanship that appears to be from pure skill and magic that appear as pure skill from skill. I diligently polished my skills and increased my skill level.
It could be seen as a byproduct given as a bonus.
Real skills are not marked as skills.
Fairy Hero holding up the sword nucleones down vigorously.
Hu!
A shout came out of my mouth unconsciously.
Even though the skill was not used, the de of the Fairy Hero seemed to be five. There must have been something going on.
However,
It doesnt matter if its slow.
Hooked, whiing-
The pointed awl on the edge of the wing hits the asphalt floor, and the body twists as its central axis of support from the wing.
Movement that cannot be done by the average human body.
Holy Sword Nucleons de only scratched the air. But the Fairy Heor shouts happily without any disappointment.
As I said before, Im dealing with the Demon King-!
Now that I hear it again, hes right.
The Demon King is the Devil/a demon, so he had wings from the beginning.
If so, this hunter who exclusively trained for demon kings, would have assumed and practiced aerialbat.
As expected.
tinum cloak, which was attached to the back of the armor of the fairy warrior, changed its shape like a shape memory alloy.
*Surya*
The cloak divided bterally and spreads widely.
And it flutters.
With no doubt, it was wings.
As well as a lightsaber, technological level is crazy!
Shouldnt we just send a super robot or bomb to space?
I dont know why we still use cumbersome manpower.
is what I thought.
Oh my god !
Puhahahaha! Right. Thats also fantasy?
Fairy warriors artificial wings wobbled like a golem.
Like how hard it is to discuss science without the electricity on Earth, and their original technology was directly or indirectly connected to fantasy.
Core fuel is also a fantasy resource.
So it does notpletely abandon the ssic fantasy style.
I dont know why they didnt pursue pure science, even with the ring mistakes they were making.
Kuk!
Fairy Hero, like seaweed that was wiggling, gave up half-winged artificial wings and assaulted wildly towards me.
To the point it seemed reckless.
But I did not ease up.
Fairy Hero seem to be bogged down with lost golems and stats, but because of his horrible acting skill, it was telling me otherwise.
The fairy warriors eyes were calm.
The face of the one who seemed ready to sacrifice.
It was simr to the Luggage Boy I had in my second fantasy run.
Its a different kind of human than me.
I respect that attitude, but
It is meaningless unless the body follows the heart.
Even if were in the same level, me and Fairy Heros physical performance was not simr.
It seemed he raised his race as Fairies to the maximum growth of the race, but it could not bepared to mine that already transcended the human race.
Chuaack!
The right wing that was hit by holy sword nucleon was torn. His intention to stop me from flying was showing.
But it was in vain.
I didnt intend to fly away from the beginning, or run away.
It will certainly be decided here.
The two bones of the torn right wing moved like tentacles.
Dududuk!
Horns rising from the wings scratched the fairy warriors armor. It would have been nice to be able to prate at once, but its not so easy to destroy an armor that was made to deal with the Demon King.
The Fairy Hero shouts in burst.
Its futile even with that strange wing !
Sukuk.
Suddenly, the right wing was cut by the sword.
Okay? Lets see till end.
I grabbed my wings, that was cut off, falling towards the floor. The small horns pierced my palm, but I didnt care at all.
No, I was aiming for it from the beginning.
Wing that fell from my body weakened like a stick, but when I connected it back, it returns to its former state.
I whipped my wings in this state.
Fairy Hero that did not expect such attack allowed the attack. Towards the head of the Boris-like head that lost his chance in the first attack.
Rippp!
This time it touched the skin directly.
Ahhh- ?!
The fabulous face of the Fairy Hero quickly became a mess.
There was no serious damage, except the sharp ear was torn and some patches of his hair.
And,
Boo Woong-
The left hand that was grasping the head of the golem, swung wildly.
Headbutt with your beloved woman!
Pak!
Fairy Heros eyes turned back from happiness.
Huh, hung ~ ?
I hum and kept swinging.
Each time the golems pretty face is crushed like a can, but torn jeans are cooler than the original neat ones.
Thats the fashion right?
I scratched the Heros armor with my perfectly fine left wing.
It was made to withstand a Demon Kings attack, but in the end its only enough to use against level 100.
It was not enough to stop my righteous wings.
Finally,
Pook! Pook!
The left wing prated into the body of Fairy Hero. I couldnt poke deeply because of the Endurance Z still working.
But if I pull it out roughly, secondary damage will ur.
Sukuk.
However Fairy Hero is not a fool either. The left wing was cut in time with the Holy Sword Nucleon.
I was denied to be drawn.
So tenacious.
I clicked my tongue
Both wings were cut, but it did not matter.
Durruk.
If wings can be made again it doesnt matter.
As the calcium phosphate diminished, I felt a bit weakened, but the face of the Fairy Hero who didnt know that was seriously hardened.
There is no meaning to cut the wings.
If you think so, thank you.
I am a Hero! Never to be defeated by the likes of the Demon-*cough*cough*!
That could be so.
But I am not a Demon King.
There was a mistake in the stats, but in the core is a righteous A-ss Hero.
So this result is also natural.
Justice always wins.
*
Fook! Pooh!
My third set of wings are embedded in the heart and cortex of a fairy warrior.
The armor was destroyed and dismantled, and the fairys body was tattered to and its amazing how he was still alive.
Our stats have also returned.
But then it was after sh ended.
If its unfortunate for a fairy warrior, its because he couldnt die quicklyfortably because of Endurance Z?
When the arms were broken, the Sword Art ZZ became meaningless. No matter how strong Sword Art is, you can not swing without arms.
So the fight was over.
its weird.
I checked my stats and looked up.
? Race: Chaos Human
? Level: 100
Job: Demon King (Brave Level )
? Skill: Dark Energy Z, Divinity Z, Blessing Z, Fabricating SSS, Capture SS
? Status: Holy Sword, Saintess, Magic Sword, Golem
This is because the reduced level has not been recovered yet. Even if the Heros breath ispletely cut, is there a same grace period?
Fook! Fook! Fook! Fook!
I stabbed the dead warriors body and decided to wait a bit longer.
Then first
I summoned it all.
Holy Sword 2, Saintess H, Boris.
Their conditions are in horrible state because of the battle.
Saintess H is fine, but shes connected to Holy Sword 2 that is just before its destruction. Boris also had many defects in his body and mind.
They need an urgent care.
Master. I will be by your side day and night.
Saintess H states so steadfastly.
I answered with a smile.
Do you even need to say that? Want to see my head fall on my mothers tennis racket? Ah Will the tennis racket break first? Then again, Ill be in trouble for that.
I cannot go back home until a true daughter-inw and grandchildren are ready.
Although Im insufficient, but if youre okay with this body
Saintess H rubs her belly and slurs her words at the end.
I resolutely answered.
N o .
Things such Lovees second, and it also cant keep up with the skill Infinity. If you dont, Im already in an uneasy situation because the Holy Sword 2 is about to break.
What should I do?
Ah!
Chapter 90: Who the hell is Hippolia?
Chapter 90: Who the hell is Hippolia?
I came up with a very good idea.
I pour in the Dark Energy that can change into anything into Boris.
The houseware golem, which was defeated by the Fairy Heros battle golem and broke, could not resist.
Boris shouted coldly.
What are you doing-Kyaaa?
What am I doing?
Im going to do something pretty from now on.
Boris who is forcefully injected with Dark Energy screams, can also wield Holy Sword.
So I passed the ownership of the Holy Sword 2 to Boris. There is no problem because Boris is my own golem.
Its like a rtionship of subcontractor who bites its own tail of tail.(Note:This idiom just means using secondary source to aplish a goal)
From here it was important.
? Type: Skill

? S: .
? A: Confuse the target.
? B: Destroy the target.
? C: Make the target Forget.
? D: Dont get confused.
? E: Will not be destroyed.
? F: Dont forget.
I have activated the ck box. Thus, the marvelous Golem Boris and the Holy Weapon, Holy Sword 2, are mixed together.
From the beginning, the Hero and the sword are always together.
It mixed well without problems.
Kyaaa!
Boriss soul seemed to screaming death throes and trying to escape, but lets just skip over the trivial problem!
Wying ~
Thats how I made a wand out of the mixed gray dough.
It has a boring form without any notable pattern.
It would have been better if I made it as practical weapon like a sword or a spear, but I gave up neatly because I did not have such dexterity.
Hmm but isnt this too cool? ? Ah!
Unconsciously stroking my chin, I noticed a golem head of a Fairy Hero still in my left hand.
The idea that I thought of just then went straight to execution.
Pook!
The cane was inserted into the neck of the golem.
The finish is also beautiful so that the joint and its surroundings are not awkward. If its only this much, then I can do it.
Busss
The golem, which had lost its core power as the original owner died, woke up.
The beautiful face that was distorted was also quickly restored.
The golem head, rolling the emerald eyeballs around and quickly grasping the situation, shouted in astonishment.
My, what happened to my body ?!
Also with the uncalled for service of voice service support!
The powerful Ego-wand isplete.
? Race: Chaos Golem
Level: 999+
? upation: Maid (Master Handyman )
? Skill: Energy Z, Pration Z, Twin Sword MAX, Antimagic MAX, Divinity MAX, Dark Energy SS, Chaos S, Charm S, Massage S, Stamina S, Laundry S, Exorcism S, Swordsmanship S,Constitution S, Purification S, Sword Art S, Bless S, Sprint S, Color Enhancement S, Unyielding A, Immunity A, Unyielding A, Trantor A, Survival A, Revenge A, Handyman A, Cooking A, Clean A, Millet A, Leader A, Management A, Dance A
? Status: Saintess
But there were too many unnecessary skills in the cane.
So I decided to clear it up.
Antimagic MAX Antimagic Z
As I am the owner, it is up to me to make the decision.The extra skills were generously thrown out as sacrifice.
Then it was neatly organized.
? Race: Saintess Golem
? Level: 999+
? Job: Exorcist (Demon Damage )
? Skill: Energy Z, Pration Z, Antimagic Z, Interpreter A
? Status: Saintess
It wasnt really intentional per say.
I also wanted to leave about one or two skills to increase the durability of the cane, but more skills were sacrificed than I anticipated, the amount of sacrifice needed to break through the limit. If all went wrong and did not break the limit, then it would have been an utter waste of skills.
Its terrible just by imagining it.
From now on, Saintess H and wand were one set. The contracted structure was structured in a way that it could not be separated and summoned separately.
So I decided.
Topletely entrust this Hallowed Wand with three transcendental skills with voice support service to Saintess H .
I will cherish it, Master.
From whos order Kya ?!
p!
Saintess H struck the wand!
The golem heads beating would not seem to stop until it waspliant.
it seems you two will get real close soon.
As I turned my head away from the beautiful friendship between the two women, I picked up the Holy Sword that was on the floor.
The name that was memorized while fighting was recited.
Holy Sword Nucleon
The reason for the bold sacrifice of Holy Sword 2 was because of the amplification skill effect from Holy Sword Nucleon.
Clear performance has not been confirmed yet, but I was convinced that it was better than Holy Sword 2.
Holy Sword 2 is a manufactured level product from the Fantasia.
It was a powerful weapon because it was wielded by the First Hero, but its power was divided as the number of worlds expanded, so it became a stick without much of its power.
And I owned one of those sticks.
On the other hand, the Holy Sword Nucleon was created in the real world.
There wasnt even a blemish on the de.
One could say this is a true holy sword.
In the empty slot was left behind after Holy Sword 2bined with Boris, the Holy Sword Nucleon fitted nicely into the slot.
I briefly nced down at the Fairy Hero.
Its really strange. Im sure hes dead, since I can contract with Holy Sword Nucleon?
For what reason am I still at level 100?
I decided not to wait until the Demon Kings penalty is released, I decided to get as far away from the Fairy Heros body.
Then.
Mr.Kang Han-soo!
A-Rank Hero!
I saw the Factoria and the mermaid running over here.
I swung my hand as if shooing away some bugs.
Hey hey, go away. From now on, we dont know each other. I have to go back to my hometown to catch up with the manhwa and novels. If youre near me I cant make love to- Ah! right. Im going to go crazy! Ive never been in love with anyone, how could such naive person like me can find a gentledy ?
Mother. Isnt the hurdles too high?
Why do you need to find a gentledy?
There is something like that.
I frowned at Factoria with a pretty face, pretending to be a friendly and firmly expressed difort.
However, she shook her pelvis(not hips) from side to side and came close. Then she said with much aegyo(Cuteness) she could mix from her words.
Tell me what is going on please. The city that I raised with blood sweat and tears is suffering from irreparable damage. I want to sit down and cry right now, but then everything will really end. So please tell me the cause at least please. I want to fix it somehow.
Do not worry about it.
How could I not worry about my city?
Ill make sure your everything is settled.
Theres such a saying to take off an oxs horn as an extra, while youre on your way.
I immediately activated the innate power of the Demo King. Then I ordered the demons under my rule disregarding the distance constraints.
To give full support to Factoria.
Not only them.
As I fought the Fairy Hero, the Dark Energy that was spread out inrge quantities was spreading to the Pacific.
One who got their hands upon Dark Energy. Will be born again as faithful devil followers.
Factoria still did not give up.
Mr. Kang Han-soo. Please tell me just a little bit. What was up with this fairy attacking us? And that angel who looks naughty from head to toe uh? Wait a minute!
Youre the saintess that guiding the Hero Festival ?! Why is she on Earth ?!
You dont need to know.
I canceled the summoning of Saintess H, who is still beating the staff.
Oh! How did you do it?!
You dont have to know.
Its true that bad guy who sticks to mysteriousness these days is the trend, but arent you too bad?
Stop acting friendly.
I ignored the girl that was bothering me and spread my wings wide. I nned to fly to Korea like that.
The moment I was about to go up,
*Grip*!
The Fairy Hero, thought to be dead, suddenly embraced my leg with both arms. It was an unbelievable speed for Level 100.
And then in a dry voice he said,
The Demon King Pedonar Repel Program Activate.
What ?
The Fairy Hero murmured in an unknown mechanicalnguage.
Through my experience of 17 years in fantasy, I decided that it wasnt something I want to partake in, so I kicked him on the side without any hesitation.
puck! puck! puck!
But the Fairy Hero did not fall.
Where did this powere from such ragged arms that had tendons ripped and the bones exposed?
I then noticed something intuitively.
You crazy ! Is it Berserk?!
Fairy Prince did not have such skills.
But this was grave reality.
Level 100-> Level 80-> Level 60-> Level 40 .
Berserk.
In exchange for losing level and experience, this skill allows you to temporarily exert strength beyond your limits.
Fairy Hero that used Berserk was pouring all his levels into a tremendous amount of power.
Because of the Demon Kings Penalty, I also falling down on my level. But because I did not have Berserk, my strength continued to diminish.
The gap in power widened over time.
Mr.Kang Han-soo! I will help you!
Factoria threw a ss bottle hanging on her belly dance belt to Fairy Hero. Not just one, but continuously and quickly.
Shatter* Shatter*!
As the vial broke, powerful magic appeared.
If it was a wizard, it would have taken a long time to activate such powerful power burst of magic.
This is the strength of the prepared magician!
Of course, that would also make the money go broke.
The one strike goods prepared by Factoria were powerful. Even in my heyday, I couldntpletely ignore it and had to block it with my pinky finger at least.
But that magic did not work.
Damn it! This power!
It was a ck box B effect.
Destroy your opponent.
The power flowing out of the Fairy Heros body was crushed and neutralized Factorias false power.
Since you can not damage it with fantasy powers.
Then,
I summoned the Holy Sword Nucleon and shed at the Fairy Princes arm. But this time it was also blocked by the power of the ck box.
This time it was an E grade effect.
It is Not Destroyable.
Huh! Crazy!
This fraudulent operation was a first time.
Why didnt I use it from the beginning?
Fairy Hero began to kindly exin why.
Forwarding the saved message. Haha! Pedonar. My good old rival. How are you? Receiving this message would mean you breaking my rigid arrangements.
But if you hear this message again, its your second time hearing this feedback right?
I feel sorry for you crawling into the real world and getting this message, but theres no ce for you there. So go back and nourish your school children as you have always done. For the peace of mankind.
Message finished.
That recording must have been the First Hero.
Nevertheless, it was misunderstanding me as the Demon King Pedonar.
What do you mean attracting this rigid person!
Self-destructing.
Crazy-!
I gave up throwing away the biobomb presented by the first warrior and leaped vertically into the sky.
Not to attract more rigid people.
Higher! Even Higher! And-
sh!
*
what happened after that?
I wasnt sure if I was dead or alive because I was caught in a big explosion, but is it not evidence that thinking itself is being alive?
But it was hard to pinch my finger.
The vision only saw infinite darkness, my mind was hazy, and nothing could be heard.
I was only aware of the fact that I was immersed in afortable warm water.
Am I lost in the middle of the Pacific?
I checked my stats.
? Race: Chaos Human
? Level: 1
Job: Hero (500% XP)
? Skill: Interpreter A A
? Status: Holy Sword, Magic Sword, Golem
What was broken returned to its original state.
First, I focus on my spirit to try and summon the golem.
It was because the Golem and set of Saintess H was dismissed before the explosion.
If its her, one who can save the dead on arge scale, she can rescue me from this water.
but its gettingte.
No matter how I waited, I did not see any signs of her. It doesnt make sense that she, who was summoned nearby, didnt find me.
Summon should have been sessful?
The cause was unknown.
I wanted to p her ass for making me wait, but I couldnt do anything right now.
Am I even alive?
And so the boring days passed.
Your highness Hippolia! Thank you very much!
As a servant who gave this humble body and mind to him, it is a matter of course. So dont worry.
If that wasnt for you, I would have already
Shh! Its already night, so get some rest.
Your highness Hippolia
At some point, the voices of two women could be heard dimly.
Hippolia, Hippolia, Hippolia
This name was heard all day long to the point of tiresome. I wanted to say something to the other woman to stop talking, but unfortunately my voice did not reach them.
Hippolia.
Who is this girl?
With that question, time went by.
The time my mind was awake was extremely short. But instinctively noticed that the time is getting longer.
The feeling of hands and feet gradually returned.
There is no need to wait for Saintess H toe to rescue. At this speed, I seemed to be able to solve it by myself.
Even now there are still quite bit of power
Kya-ah!
Are you alright?!
Sobbing*! I thought I was going to die, your highness Hippolia.
Calm down please. That will be the proof that youre healthy.
for some reason, every time I moved, the woman screamed.
Honestly, it didnt matter, but I was so disheartened that my soul could be torn because I couldnt move.
What do I do? .
Time passed again.
One woman was dying.
Your highness Hippolia. Its cold
Im really sorry. I have no power to save you. If it was just a little better environment
No. I was happy being with your highness Hippolia. Thank you
My instincts whispered.
Its a little early, but its time to be resurrected!
Chuaaack-!
I came out of the abyss of the dark Pacific.
The bright world greeted me.
A familiar beauty was seen.
Master! Thank you for being safe! But what do I do? Im not able toctate
Saintess H looked down upon me and made a strange sound.
What are you on about you breast and whatnot?
Au?
Au? Au-?
Waaaa ~~ ?!
Whats going on?!
Chapter 91: Hero is Way Too Cute!
Chapter 91: Hero is Way Too Cute!
I have turned into a newborn baby.
No, should I be called a re-born baby?
It was so absurd that no words could be spoken, except for my swears.
Au.
No, no matter how the unification of swear words are Au is just not going to cut it!
Master. I think I should cut the umbilical cord and get moving. Ill exin more about the situation soon. The situation is not looking so good
Au.
Ah Arent you too cute sir?
Saintess H looked at me with shining eyes. I dont hate it, but it was a very troublesome gaze.
I decided to first get this chaotic situation cleared up.
Then after that, I needed strength.
Shortly before, I had managed to instinctively restrain my power. Nobody taught me, but I intuitively realized that using my power would have been dangerous.
Now I know why.
If you use this in the womb space, it would have definitely
Not only for me, but also the owner of the mothers womb would have been at stake.
But now it was fine because I was detached.
I freed my ck box.
? Race: Chaos Human
? Level: 1
Job: Demon King (Hero Level )
? Skill: Dark Energy Z, Divinity Z, Blessed Z, Immortality MAX, Survival MAX
? Status: Holy Sword, Magic Sword
Two unexpected skills were aligned in front of the stats.
Its also at MAX rank.
My skills seemed to have been raised while I was distracted.
The problem was not that.
Au ?
Demon King ?
I thought about it.
Obviously, my job was a Demon King even if I was swept away. The ck box seemed to have stored that memory without forgetting it.
Should I say this is good?
The answer was yes.
The Demon King is the best job if you do not encounter a Hero.
Soaaaa-
The pitch-ck Dark Energy that gushed out of my little flesh turned into scissors.
The greatest advantage of the Demon King is that it is the peak of every demon. Optimized for dealing with demons and Dark Energy.
Snip.
I cut the umbilical cord with scissors.
The beautiful lifeline that followed a mother was cut off.
Flutter!
I summoned the Devils wings to my back.
I could also generate wings of a righteous Hero, but if I did something wrong with the babys body that hasnt been properly formed, I properly gave up on such notion.
Au ~ ?!
Oh my goodness!
Flying a little with the wings of the devil, I crashed into the soft bosom of Saintess H.
it was because as soon as I flew my shoulders stiffened.
A Demon King with muscr pain
Inevitably, I had to rely on Saintess H.
With a stable position in her soft chest and arms, I nced down briefly.
There was a girl that I saw for the first time.
With body too immature to bear new life.
To make matters worse, she didnt even look to have enough nutrients in her body. It was not a condition that could give birth to a child.
But I was born like this.
Even though Im a premature baby.
Au
Sorry, Master. Her level was so low that when she gave birth to Master, I couldnt help her recover or resurrect. If she had given birth stably she wouldnt have had to die at least
Saintess H said with a voice full of sadness.
I didnt think much of it though.
Recovery and resurrections are not free.
It consumes level and experience.
Depending on the level of life and the state of the corpse, the deviation isrge, but a human below the average level of 20 will have eternal rest upon death.
If its not urgent, when healing a wound with a blessing of healing or magic, taking herbs that will reduce your experience is necessary.
This is The Law of Equivalent exchange in the fantasy world.
Even a Saintess is not an exception.
However,
Au.
I had to pay back somehow for my birth going safely.
Resurrection is definitely a saints inherent ability, but saving a person doesnt have to always require resurrection, no?
Shuwaaaaaa-
I gently wrapped the drooping girls body with a ck Energy.
This is the power that only the Demon King can do.
? Race: Daemon
? Level: 4
Job: ve (50% EXP)
? Skill: Dark Energy S, Survival E, Constitution F, Patience F
? Status: Postnatal, Regeneration
It is to appoint her race as a devil.
The girl died as a human being and was reborn as a pure devil with S-grade Dark Energy.
With the benefits of the innate devils constitution.
The strong body that human beings are trying so hard to acquire.
Sururk.
The swelling quickly subsided and the uterus, vagina and vulva contracted. The wounds at birth also quickly healed.
The girls expression became calm as her internal organs and fatigue, which had been set to death during childbirth, has remarkably recovered.
It definitely is a devilish resilience.
And she opened her eyes.
Ah Im alive ?
The girl mumbled, and stroked her body while her legs were spread apart.
Saintess H talked to her with a bright smile.
Congrattions on being born again. Are you okay?
Ms.Hippolia!
First, at least wear this skirt.
Better than that the baby!
I moved over to Saintess Hs to the t bosom of the girl. This was done because I felt it should be done.
But there was no such thing as an identity crisis for me.
To find the closest expression to this situation in a fantasy-like situation, the girl was like a breast-feeding nanny.
She was still milking.
Suck*!
Chapter 92: The Interpretation Was Wrong!
Chapter 92: The Interpretation Was Wrong!
A babys body was really ufortable.
Even though I was tempted to just grab and twist my 6th and 7th cervical spine -the main key of herniated cervical disk, it was unbelievably difficult because my hands were too small.
But it wasnt a big worry for me.
Because I have Master Mongs lessons!
Since I was a fetus, I was restoring my earthlings excellent physique that I had before.
That was the biggest reason I couldnt recognize her as my parent even though I was born from a Native Fantasia womans womb.
Prodigy F Prodigy D
Was it because I seeded doing something a regr baby isnt able to do?
I gained a skill that fit me well.
? Category: Skill
? Name: Prodigy
? Level: D
? C: Sess rate slightly increases.
? D: Proficiency slightly increases.
? E: Experience slightly increases.
? F: Bes remarkable since childhood.
It was an obvious growth-type skill, such an unfair skill.
In that sense even though the job Hero is no different, there is a limit that we can only have one job. If we be a Hero then we have to give up other useful privileges.
But this Prodigy skill is just a bonus.
A skill that draws a line since birth.
Auuu.
I really liked it.
Sa, save me-
Whoosh!
I got rid of thest pursuer neatly.
Pretty sure there were more of them since they said they have surrounded this area but they seemed like nopetition for me that was in the middle of leveling up rapidly.
This lightsaber is pretty useful, though?
Inded in Nannys arms after confirming I had finished them all.
Not even a single drop of blood sttered on me. That was also a benefit included in the basic attributes attack.
Chwap!! Chwap!!
But before that lets eat something first.
Youve worked hard, Master. Please wait right here. I will dig around in their belongings and replenish some food.
Ill help, Hippolia.
No. Please wait right there so Master can focus on his meal. This is more important than everything else so Im begging you. Ah! And when he finishes his meal please softly rub on his back so he can burp and pat on him if he still doesnt burp.
What? Okay.
Saintess H skilfully finished trivial work after entrusting me to my Nanny.
She used to be a noble Saintess that didnt know rough stuff like this. It seemed like she gained a lot of experiences since thest time I saw her.
Pat pat.
The Nanny patted my back.
I think shes got talent in massage.
Bwaaaap~!
I burped satisfyingly.
Babies dont have a well-developed digestive system so their guardian needs to help them digest in between during nursing.
They need to do it especially for premature babies like me, we have short oesophagus so air that gets inhaled during nursing would go up our oesophagus making us vomit and get stomach ache.
but how did Saintess H know all these?
I gotzy thinking about it from the sudden drowsiness.
I fell asleep after that.
As a nice Sir Baby, you know, I had to sleep after a meal.
*
My physique was weak.
I didnt mean it in the fragile newborn kind of weak.
It was all because of Fantasias dimension that is a world divided like slices of pizza.
If a whole pizza is the normal dimension, Fantasias continent is like selling a piece of pizza lying that its a whole pizza.
That was why natives and the next generations living here were weak.
Biologically it didnt badly affect our everyday life, but the density of existence thatposed our physique was ridiculously lowpared to earthlings.
Would there be a problem because of this?
Stop and just show me your ID-
Auu.
Sacred Sir Baby. Its such an honour that you visit our insignificant domain. Pleasee in.
First off, you be really vulnerable from the mental system skill.
That was also why my Z-grade Divinity that wasnt effective on earth worked well in the Fantasia continent.
Just like how it was with ck boxs oblivion.
I erased every memory of witnesses that I ran across on my way back.
We passed tight sieges of emerging empires pursuers leisurely that way.
Believing they had made perfect sieges they were probably still searching the area around the dead body and the vacant lot.
Youre excellent, Sir Baby
Auu.
I moved together with Nanny, only the two of us.
It was because Saintess H and her walking stick stood out too much.
Especially the design of that walking stick with a beautiful Golems head on it, it wasnt something I could solve by manipting memories of a person or two.
I couldnt believe it got difficult just because of the artistry of a walking stick!
We moved directly to some domains donjon.
Because even pursuers wouldnt dare to carelessly search around if it was a fortress where a Lord that was an owner of a wide territory lived.
It wouldve been unimaginable that we were here.
I kept showing the direction with an arrow made of Dark Energy and Nanny that was hugging me would move that way.
The knights, guards and maids in the castle didnt try to block us. Sometimes if my Z Divinity caught some hints of rebellion then oblivion right away!
We could easily arrive at our destination -the office of the Lord without any trouble.
Who is it? This ce isnt where you can recklessly-!
Auu.
Get on your knee, B-grade.
Oh my God! A humble breed that was blinded by an unpleasant divinity hasmitted discourtesy not recognizing the face of the mighty absolute! Please generously forgive this useless servant!
The middle-aged Lord lied on his stomach while shaking in fear.
Until now he probably had been perfectly concealing his B-grade Dark Energy with the magic ne around his neck but he couldnt deceive Devils eyes.
? Species: Human

Demon-followers were everywhere around the world.
The Nanny that had already been educated by Saintess H stepped forward instead of me who could only babble.
Even though her level was low, Saintess Hs S-grade Dark Energy was in her possession so she was still above that Lord in rank.
Lord.
Please drop all the honorifics, its hard for me to cope with.
How could a guest do that? Please assign a maid we can trust while introducing us as your rtives.
I will follow your order.
We were directly led to the best-ss bedroom.
It was awkward because we asked him to assign a maid but the firstdy came instead, but at the end of the day our n to hide silently in this domain extremely seeded.
Originally the n was to be exiled to Nannys mothend that we could see as her parents home and safely give birth.
But on the way, the pursuers caught up and killed her husband and the royal family. It was obvious she would get caught so she was saved by Saintess H and became a castaway like this in the neutral nation.
Though wherever it was didnt matter anymore since I was born.
Because wherever it was it wouldve been my territory if it was and ruled by someone that got absorbed in Dark Energy.
Please prepare the water for Sir Baby to bathe.
Yes, maam.
Two maids bowed down modestly as they answered.
Please also prepare a sd of fresh green vegetables with cheese. Plenty of it. We will eat here in this room. Also, please air the room and do some sun-light disinfection for the bedding as Sir Baby takes a bath.
We will prepare them.
As a princess since she was born, Nanny was like an expert at ordering people around. But she still held herself back from doing things that would attract attention since she knew our circumstances.
Eating well, sleeping, taking a dump
Nanny that was too skinny quickly recovered her beautiful past appearance, even more, in the safe and abundant environment. An impossible thing to happen, but it was possible because she was a devil not a human.
I was also satisfied because now her breast milk that didnt produce much came out more.
Oh my God! Sir Baby is growing so fast.
Thanks to that my growth got faster too.
Auu!
My front teeth appeared too!
*
Now that my front teeth appeared too lets start to worry about the future.
My physique that was born again in the Fantasia continent was too weak.
So a tuning and remodeling to make it simr or same as myst earthling physique was essential, and it would be tiring if we didnt build the foundations now when I was still a small baby in a growth phase.
It was the same principle as architecture.
The same logic as how instead of apleted 300-floored high-rise buildings renovation it would save way more time, money and all to improve the design of a building whose ground has just been set.
That was why I didnt hurry.
Because this period of improving the sprout is really important.
If I passed this early childhood safely, I would skip all the mid-process and get back to my past appearance, an excellent earthling.
That was why
Chwap chwap!
I diligently ate and slept again today.
Though I was in the middle of supplementing my body while putting Master Mongs lessons into action, there was nothing free in the world.
Breast milk contains all nutrients that are needed in physical development and activity of life but powdered milk and other kinds of milk cantpare with breast milk.
My goal was consistent.
To bring down the Fantasy God and all the staff!
To get a blow in on the chaps that kidnapped me to this uncivilized fantasy world.
But another one had been added.
The First Hero bastard!
I, who returned to my home the earth after graduating with difficulty in 17 years, got dragged again to the fantasy world after 2 days.
It was the First Heros fault that mistook me as the devil Pedonar.
Whether it was a misunderstanding or a mistake I could never forgive him.
then I would have to develop my power.
Way stronger than it was now.
Knock knock.
A rare sight of a Lord knocking carefully in his own fortress happened but none of the maids nor neither us considered it was weird.
Because it was a routine.
What it is, Lord?
Nanny asked him for me.
The greedy emerging empire finally shed their fangs in the neutral country. It hasnt been dered yet, but if a war happens the copse of this domain that is in contact with countries boundary would be a matter of time so I beseeched to see Master in a hurry to talk about this.
Auu
The emerging empire
The country where the war God that controlled the Golden Golem was dipping his body in.
Originally it was a small country located at the corner of the north continent but he expanded the territory with the power of the Golden Golem.
7 years in Hero calendar.
It was a historically big incident approximately 7 years after the day a Hero was summoned to the fantasy world.
In the first round, I stopped that war.
In the sixth round I stepped on the war God before he grew up.
But now?
There was no Hero to stop the emerging empire.
The fact that this ce was kept like this means an earthling Hero that was summoned 7 years before me existed somewhere in the Fantasia continent.
But that Hero never showed up.
From instigating wars to dark firms, the emerging empire got wild as they please like daredevils.
Sir Baby
Nanny hugged me tightly. Her face darkened terribly after she caught on that we needed to escape avoiding the pursuers from the emerging empire and.
I battered at Nannys breasts that appetizingly swelled with my little hands and shouted.
Auu!
Just believe this cute and righteous Hero Sir!
Knock knock.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door again.
The Lord that got a bit taken aback stiffened his face and prudently talked as if he was scolding at the door direction.
Huh! Didnt I say lets talkter?! How does someone that asked to be seen as a respectable knight without prejudice and not a thin Ladyship behave rashly?!
Then outside the door, a calm voice of a woman answered.
Lord. Please excuse my impudence. But information that somewhere in this domain our Kingdoms heir is being kicked out to the wicked emerging empire ising one after another. Its a situation where we cant waste a minute.
The war is right in front of us and you justfortably looked for others?!
Excuse me.
Creak- click.
The woman that notified us with an unapologetic tone of voice cut the closed doors doorknob with a knife and got into the room as she pleased.
The Lord that was enraged stretched his hand to the handle of his knife on his belt.
But he didnt pull out his knife.
Oh?! You are
Because Nanny recognized that rude woman.
Princess?! Aah! Thank God!
The woman that trespassed was no different. She put down her tumultuous knife as soon as she saw Nanny and got on one knee performing a knights courtesy.
Nanny asked her in a touched intonation.
Did youe here to find me?
Yes, Princess. Im sorry. I shouldvee here as soon as possible the moment I heard news about the allys copse, the power of the division -that treats you, who was sacrificed in a political marriage like an outsider- opposing is too strong but now, do not worry. Because in thest big war Crown Prince ran away as he pleased, the session has no foresight.
I see. Brother was
Princess. Sorry to be impudent, but is the Mister Baby youre holding right now
I stared at her, not avoiding her eyes.
Hmm. Where did I see this bitch?
Yes. This is my Sir Baby.
Aah! I meet the noble Your Royal Grandson Highness! Nobody would be able to harass Princess as long as the Royal Grandson that connects the blood of two Kingdoms is here. Even though the capital ridiculously fell, the countrys noble and people are doing well. So we can fight again as long as we have the Royalty as the pivotal role. That is why the emerging empire is still persistently after you.
ah!
I remembered after seeing the female knights stats.
? Species: Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Knight (fidelity fortitude)
? Skill: Sword Aura SS, Fortitude SS, Attractiveness S, Expertise S, Prodigy A
? Status: Joyful, Touched, Loyal
Nanny said as she patted me.
If the widely known sword girl is by our side, Sir Baby would feel safe too. Right?
Auu.
Get lost.
She was the crazy bitch that swung her sword at an innocent knight after showing her naked body carelessly. Of course, I had no thought of keeping her by our side.
Sword girl.
Fantasias strongest female knight.
Number 1 person to be alert to.
I stiffened my face and conveyed my difort to Nanny.
Hoho! It seems like Sir Baby is also happy to meet the sword girl.
what?
Im d at Your Royal Grandson Highnesss generous attention. Hes so cute and lovely Its a happy event for the Kingdom.
Auuuuuuu~!
I said noooo~!
Chapter 93: The Two Devil Kings
Chapter 93: The Two Devil Kings
I, who tried to deny it, immediately sucked on Nannys nipple as soon as I saw it being held out in front of my face and regained peace of mind.
That was something beyond my control.
Because babies have the instinct to suck on something in the first 6 months after theyre born. After that, they still suck on their fingers and other things because it became a habit for various reasons likeck of affection, boredom, curiosity, and other reasons.
If it is not corrected in this phase the teeth and face would not grow prettily. So parents attention and love is a must.
Anyways, its not a matter of my discipline.
Princess, shall we escape to your mothend? I will serve you.
Thats
Nanny couldnt make a decision and hesitated with her answer. Because the only instruction she received from Saintess H was to raise me here.
A brilliant idea came across my mind after being in agony as I saw Nanny being indecisive.
My present job is Demon King.
I can give orders to the demons and the demon followers.
Through methods like telepathy.
Chwap chwap- au.
B-grade. Please speak on my behalf.
Listen, freaking sword-girl who swings a sword around wildly.
Lord? Its true that I trespassed but your words just now were a bit too muching out from a noble with dignity
Shut up.
We will nevermit such atrocity like retreating and throwing away innocent people as you wicked bitch nned. We will destroy the emerging empire with my- the cute Sir Babys strategy. An ignorant female knight that tries to solve everything by cutting off anything with her sword when a problem arises should just sit and watch.
Stu, stupid
The sword-girl with her face that turned red, raged.
But I, Lord, didnt wither even a bit.
Haha! Look at that. Didnt your hand reach for your sword handle again? Sword-girl. If youre going to cut me, go ahead. Because that would only prove your ignorance and impatience.
Huuh
Our friendly conversation ended as Nanny intervened.
Afterward, we decided to fight against the emerging empire that dered war in the Neutral Nation here in this domain.
The sword girl sighed and said,
The empires ambition wont end until the Northern Continent is united. Just like what both of you said, even if we run away, we wont buy much time. But for now, its also a fact that we dont have a chance of winning. If Lord allows me to, I will contact the mothend and ask for them to dispatch an army. At least soldiers of our domain
Do so.
Thank you.
With a fat full belly, I entrusted the details to the Lords ability and drifted to sleep.
*
The next day just like the Lord had predicted, the emerging empire had dered war.
The nation was likely to be weakened if wars happened in a row but this nation was immersed in the victory and wouldnt look back.
Even so, what was the reason we didnt fall apart?
We never lost in an important war, not even once.
This is the Golden Golems power.
The incarnation of victory that goes to a war which needs you to win or upy something and obtains a perfect victory with little damage at all cost.
Hes not called The God of War for no reason.
Thanks to that we could endlessly replenish insufficient food, money and other things by plundering disguised in a mask called loot.
But it had slowly reached its limit.
Why?
Au.
We cant solve public sentiment and security through plundering.
An army that killed a father and big brother, husband, boyfriend, neighbor, and others were stationed in the town and vige.
Even though we try to reconcile hostile public sentiment by executing executives and soldiers that hurt women regardless of their position and using money to buy food properly
There is no good war in the first ce.
Whats the use of buying food with stolen money? Its not convincing to seek forgiveness after killing families.
Though they were better than invaders that didnt even bother to do this kind of hypocritical action, the emerging empires territorial expansion was of extreme greed.
One-off.
The emerging empire is going to copse in a one-off defeat.
But there were countless kingdoms and armies destroyed by the emerging empire because we couldnt obtain that one-off victory.
That was why I also needed a little bit of preparation.
Sir Baby, is it this way?
Au.
I had no intention of having a sit-down.
Not only it isnt my battle style to defend one-sidedly, but it was also dangerous to exchange blows with this weak body.
The conclusion is?
Attack! Attack! And attack!
The n was to invade them first before we got invaded.
I directed Nanny to the destination using the Arrow of Dark Energy.
The best-case scenario would be the young and energetic me go into the war myself and exterminate them all, but I wanted to avoid losing to Z-grade Demon King because my level got higher like what happened during the 6th round.
So I needed a colleague.
Uh Princess? There will be a restricted area if we keep going this way. To go back now would be a
Au!
You get lost!
The sword-girl led the soldiers and followed us as she pleased as if she was escorting.
Sir Baby obeys sword-girl a lot. Im envious.
That, thats Hmm hm. Im so grateful for Your Royal Grandson Highness generous goodwill.
We headed to the snowy mountain M.
Various brutal criminals hid here on the rough mountain, and as expected humans that had thergest poption ratio amongst them were Demon-followers.
Because they wouldnt have had tomit crimes and run away if only the Dark Energy didnt get through and affect the core.
And like that, naturally air of demons was formed as the fugitive Demon-followers gathered on the snowy mountain M.
They were living on while being controlled by the Demons that had been the longest-term resident of the ce since forever and keeping the discipline and sanity to a bare minimum.
Alias, Lair of Demons C.
One or two of this kind of bounty hunting ground exists in every continent.
HuHu!
BuBu!
We ran across various monsters on our way to Lair of Demons C and the sword-girl came forward and quickly handled them every time.
The sword-girl.
Though it seemed like she would fight elegantly as if shes dancing just like the feigned name, she was nothing but a sword princess because she looked beautiful on the surface.
There was no elegancy for the sword-girl.
Puhwaaaak!
A blue sword aura spurted out of the magic sword she summoned like fire.
The magic sword was clearly cutting off the air but the sword aura that was spurting out extended the sword de and killed even a group of Orcs from afar with a single blow.
This was the sword-girl battle-style.
A sword skill with no sword skill that was born from an unbelievable talent.
Princess. That is thest vige
The sword-girl said after finishing the Orcs.
Just like what she said before, there was a restricted area right over the vige in front of us.
But that was just a problem for ordinary people. Every year, challengers that tried to gain fame by subjugating Lair of Demons C challenged after doingst preparations in that vige.
Truly foolishly.
They didnt think of the reason why the vige doesnt get attacked by the Lair of Demons C.
Both of the ces had a symbiotic rtionship.
The viins of the Lair of Demons C received daily necessities in return for not attacking the vige.
Of course it was a secret between them.
Au.
The memories of the 1st round surged up one after another.
The colleagues that were like morons ran to the vige without suspicion.
They kept spilling important information with their spouts without knowing their information was sent to the Lair of Demons.
Especially weaknesses, habits, skills, strengths, strategies
When the vigers asked indirectly they just bragged about them like they were showing off.
So I warned them that the vigers were suspicious, but they showered me with criticisms saying, How could you doubt these kind vigers? And you call yourself a hero?
And the result was?
The subjugating that was supposed to be easy became harder.
I wanted to kill them all when they babbled that was a tough battle. after we barely won.
Sincerely with all might.
Princess. Ive sent scouts to the vige and did an investigation.
In that sense, the sword-girl was someone whos really careful. Though she had the w of cutting off anything with her sword aura when she was not satisfied.
The sword-girl continued,
They say that the vige is really famous for their inns sulfur hot-spring. Since it has an excellent effect on calming down the body and soul, it can be estimated that it would also be a help for Princess postnatal care. And of course, for Your Royal Grandson Highness too.
Im anticipating!
I will escort you right away.
Chapter 94: The War God
Chapter 94: The War God
7 years of being a hero.
The northern continent was covered in a chaotic war.
The small nation that was ced at the end of the east side was growing fast while putting the Golden Golem to stand ahead and savoring the nations around them.
The Magic Kingdom that was called the colonial master of the northern continent hereupon gathered the philosophers and stepped in to stop it, but they failed and got their capital city and philosophers pagoda upied instead.
The ringleader was the Golden Golem.
The name War God got widely known since then.
It seemed as if the emerging empire that carried the War God on their back were going to unify the northern continent in the blink of an eye.
But then the Dark Company decided it was the best time for a business and started to sell the Red Golem they had piled up.
The kingdoms were also scared of the emerging empires force, but they still bought the Red Golem without hesitation for the reason that the Red Golem broke the prejudice Golemcks cost-effectiveness.
The kingdoms of the northern continent that had secured the Red Golems war potential became high-spirited.
But the Golden Golem was way stronger than they expected.
More than anything else,
Huk?! Its arge-scale raid!
Wizards summon the Golem!
Knights protect the Wizards!
The Dark Company also sold the Red Golem to the emerging empire.
Would they get called as the Dark Company for no reason?
The Dark Company controlled the quantity of the Red Golem they were selling so that the war wouldnte to a lull, by selling more for the emerging empire when the situation became advantageous for the kingdoms alliance, and selling more for the kingdoms alliance when the emerging empire got stronger.
The kingdoms and empires couldnt stop them even though they knew this fact.
Because a ceasefire was impossible since their grudge was already deep in their heart. The main faction of each nation that consisted of nobles and treacherous people that got recruited by the Dark Company was also a problem.
The northern continent gradually weakened
Meanwhile the War God knew no defeat.
Before he got the eyes of the Hero party that were passing by on him because he got on their nerves.
Au.
The memories of the first round kept surging today of all days.
Kill them! Kill them all! Hihi!
For our king!
Kikikik! Nice! Very nice!
The criminals that were gathered from the snowy mountain M were charging towards the emerging empire like an overflowing flood.
There was a stereotype that a criminal is ugly and ignorant, but there were a lot of handsome and beautiful ones that were easy to win peoples hearts over and geniuses with excellent eloquence.
Because they had to be that way for them to deceive others well!
If they were stupid no matter how strong they were they wouldve been caught early and executed, to begin with.
The criminals didnt possess the Red Golem but they were cunning and persevering beyond that.
It was basic to kill wizards and seize Golems. They also drugged foods and threatened people after kidnapping their hometown families.
The ones that gathered up were not just the Demon-followers and demons.
The scale was beyond imagination as the gangsters, thieves, ck-marketers, bandits, assassins and others that followed them also joined in.
This went beyond even my expectations.
Au?
This is weird, though?
What the Hero had been doing?
7 years ago a divine message which said that a Hero was summoned came from above to each temple of the 5 continents, but it was said that nobody had even seen a picture of the Hero.
And the Fantasia continent was neglected like that.
It was crowded with viins.
But it didnt make me suffer a loss nor was it bad in any way. Because the more Demon-followers there were, the more it would reduce the effort I needed to make by stepping in myself.
Though, it didnt mean I was only ying around.
I kept developing endlessly every time the demons and the Demon-followers that I ruled crushed the emerging empire.
Conquest F Conquest SS
Passion C Passion A
Prodigy D Prodigy SS
Leadership ELeadership S
Dignity F Dignity B
My skills proficiency and levels increased continuously.
After I ordered the demons and the Demon-followers to keep attacking the emerging empire until they copsed, I lifted up the job Devil King.
The way to do it was really simple.
It was to deactivate the ck Box.
That way I could gain the benefits of the job Hero in return of not being a Devil King anymore and not being able to order the demons and Demon-followers around anymore.
EXP 5x!
? Species: Chaos Human
? Level: 304
? Job: Hero (EXP 500%)
? Skill: Immortality MAX, Survival MAX, Conquest SS, Prodigy SS, Leadership S
? Status: Holy Sword, Magic Sword, Golem, Development
It only consisted of the skills I gained since I started this round.
It was too bad that there was no direct battle skill, but it was enough to knock down the Devil King Fedonar that received the penalty.
Holy Sword Nucleon, more than anything else.
It was more powerful than any other offensive skill.
Au.
He finally came.
The War God hase!
The incarnation of victory hase!
Were safe now!
Whoaaaaaaa!
The Golden Golem appeared in the war.
He was far below the level of Captain Fantasy -the forever idol living in my heart, but he also boasted a dignified presence in the category of Super Robot.
His performance was also outstanding.
? Species: Grand Golem
? Level: 999+
? Job: War King (Armor Indestructibility)
? Skill: Indestructibility SS, Greatsword SS, Large SS, Divinity S, Restoration S
? Status: Specting, Reinforcement, Blessed, Perfection
In the first round he was ultimately crushed after surrendering to the Hero partys wicked power of friendship, but the performance was impable.
The job War King -that got stronger the better their armor was- raised the Golden Golems SS-grade Indestructibility to a level higher skill, and made the solidity of the S-grade Divinity and Restoration unfairly greater.
The skill Large on top of that.
It had the effect of being more advantageous the bigger their build was.
Khoong! Khoong! Khoong! Boooooong-!
The finishing is the skill Greatsword.
The bigger and heavier the sword was the sharper and more solid it would be.
It would be a disaster if the additional effect of the skill Large and the advanced Golems basic strength were added here.
Aaaa?!
Aaaak?!
Aaaarghk?!
The viins that were high-spirited while going wild on the battlefield just now got swept away by the Golden Golems Greatsword like fallen leaves in the fall.
Bbajik.
The Red Golem that they seized were also weak-kneed, no different.
It was because they couldnt pierce through the armor that was protected by the Golden Golems S-grade Divinity using those things that werent permeated by Divinity and Dark Energy.
The Golden Golem dominated the battlefield alone.
The War Gods wars were always like this.
Tahaaaat!
Then, a disrupter challenged the War God.
The Sword Girl that firmly let out a shout of concentration shot out an unwavering blue sword aura at the Golden Golems direction.
Pajijijik-!
The normal case would be for it to have no effect because it was a general attribute, but the Sword Girls Magic Sword could pierce through the Divinity since it released Dark Energy attribute.
But the Golden Golem was still powerful without the Divinity S effect.
And he was fast, fitting his build.
Kkyak?!
It was only a strike.
It was also like that in the first round.
The Sword Girl didnt avoid the Golden Golems Greatsword and tried to cut him with sword aura but failed. And she fluttered away, covered in blood.
In the first round the Fairy Princess Sylvia caught her using the Spirit of Wind, but she didnt have anyone to help her this time around.
Grabs.
The Sword Girl was caught in the Golden Golems huge hand.
Au!
Please kill that bitch! The Golden Golem!
But the Golden Golem didnt give strength to his grip. If he gripped slightly harder the Sword Girls ribs and internal organs would crumble prettily, why didnt he!
There was that reason.
Haha! The Sword Girl also doesnt have much to show in front of my Golem! Beautiful Sword Girl. I shall put you whom nobody owns into my Harem.
EukkDont be ridiculous!
Not only your appearance, but I also love that aggressive personality! Alright. The harder you are to be captured the more Im burning. Haha!
A conversation between the War God and the Sword Girl was heard.
My mood that was excited while cheering for the Golden Golem dropped.
This was like that miserable feeling of witnessing a national yer ridiculously blowing away the chance to turn over the table through a penalty kick in the world cup final!
Chapter 95: Seriously Sir Hero. For Real?
Chapter 95: Seriously Sir Hero. For Real?
Did you Princesse yourself to say that?
The details are in the letter.
I unfolded the scrap of paper the Princess said she brought and read it.
Congrattions on the Emperors inauguration was 50% of the message, and the rest, reaching 45% was a slightly boastful, acting-humble introduction of what kind of country the northern continents Holy Empire is.
The main point was only 5%, and the content was even more trifling.
A marriage of convenience?
Yes, Your Highness.
They said they would give the Princess in front of me to be my concubine.
But to be aiming for the concubine position in this situation where the Empress position was empty meant she would attempt to be my legal wife if there is a chance.
But
This year Im seeing winter for the 3rd time, though?
Im only 3!
With all due respect, I dont think age is important. Isnt what important is the interests and rtionships? I think the blood alliance between the two empires that represent the northern continent would really benefit both empires. Also, as a product of the Holy Empire, I grew up receiving perfect education and management. You can be satisfied both internally and externally.
The Princess confidently exined like flowing water.
I scanned her from head to toe, obliquely leaning on the thrones armrest.
? Species: Human
? Level: 288
? Job: Princess (Rank=Attention)
? Skill: Attractiveness S, Elegance A, Eternal Youth A, Politics A, Mental Capacity A
? Status: Expectation, Crave, Excitement, Nervous
The Princess level was on the level of regr nobles and royals, she especially possessed a lot of A-grade skills.
She didnt focus only on wearing make-up prettily like a Princess waiting for a Prince riding on a white horse, an effect of reaching out to various fields evenly.
To be the ruler of the empire.
What a really persistent bitch.
She spammed her specs with A-grade skills even though she got in politics ss and bridal ss at the same time. Was she a genius? Well, though it wouldve been because she was a genius that she could join in as a Heros colleague.
Give me permission to stay over in your empire.
Ah! If I do
Princess. Prove and secure the rest all yourself. I dont have an heir, but Im still young. Its still not the time to worry about session.
To be frank it didnt seem like I would retire when I got old.
I would get sick of ying Emperor before that.
The invasion of the Devil King isnt just a problem for the central continent but a crisis for the entire humanity. I also wont turn away and will actively step in to help. Princess. if you dont have anything more to say, go out. The valet would escort you to a good room.
Yes, Your Highness.
The Princess shook her ass as she walked out.
But my loyal lieges and knights didnt bat an eye.
Though I did kick that kind of rxed bastards out of the royal pce early, it was more because all of them were married men.
Based on what Sir Hero with a 21 years experience of Fantasy had tried to analyze, married men risked less to be caught in a beauty trap and think about stupid thoughts like coup dtat, betrayal, or conspiracies than single men.
There were various reasons
You wouldntmit rash acts when you have a family behind you to protect, and mistake raw sexual desire as romantic ambition.
Whats the next item on the agenda?
Yes, Your Highness. The number of illegal immigrantsing in from the other continents has been growing rapidly. There is an opinion to receive the immigrants for the reason that our poption decreased after the previous war.
A massive migration was a phenomenon that didnt happen in my first round.
But its different in the 8th round.
Since the hero wasnt doing anything, all the continents in Fantasia were crowded with viins and monsters, and got into a saturation state.
The result was, the other 4 continents besides the northern continent that I had cleaned up fell into a more wretched mess than a chaotic war.
Tax bombs, human trafficking, ve-hunting, corruption
There were various reasons.
Receive the immigrants. Since the fates of the other continents are over.
This was also my experience of the 1st round, there were many cases where if the hero didnt solve it, the whole continent would fall in danger.
Especially the 5 disasters, the hero had to solve it.
To crash the hideout of the secret force that tries to open the seal of the monsters? To subjugate before the monsters recover their power? Or to dig up the tomb and get the treasures that weaken monsters?
The maniption called fate generously gave time to subjugate the 5 disasters.
Though it was slightly different for each monster, the 5 disasters that were scattered throughout the Fantasia continent were the type that had to wait until at least 10 years of being a hero.
I didnt know the history after that 10 years.
The Oblivion Dragon King Noebius died a natural death, and I had subjugated the rest 5 disasters early.
But I could make a rough guess.
Your Highness. Did you say its finished?
Yes. Its finished.
All the continents but the northern continent would get wiped of existence.
Whether by sinking, burning, freezing, or broken into pieces.
Thinking of it now, they suffered evenly. If we add the Oblivion Dragon Kings poisonous breath, the fantastic coboration would beplete.
After that, we passed some trivial issues and wrapped up the empire meeting.
I went to the emperors private room right away.
And I casually mumbled,
I cant believe the Devil King has started to make a move
Was this also because the Hero that was said had been bewitched by the Fairy Princess Sylvia?
Pretty sure that was the case.
Because the number of demons and demon followers in the Fantasia world had suddenly increased.
The Hero that was pretty much their natural enemy should keep subjugating and decreasing the number, but as he wasnt working at all it ended up growing geometrically.
To the point of destroying the ecosystem
Of course,
I didnt worry.
Though I was 3 by age, my body was the body of a 5-year-old.
Though still, sometimes I still got in difficult situations because of my small height but, except those kinds of things, I showed activity and political skills that were no different than those of an adults.
And the whole pizza had already beenpleted.
I had already restored my body of the Earthling dayspletely.
My look gave off a biracial impression as it was mixed with my beautiful Nannys Fantasia gene.
It was the result of not erasing itpletely.
Now, defeating the Devil King was ahead of me.
Using Master Mongs teachings, if I made up my mind I could raise my body until the golden age of an adult.
But I didnt rush.
Because,

Because of this skill.
Once I mindlessly tried to evolve skill and halted it while freaking.
I did hear that the more transcend skills there were, the harder it got to breakthrough limits from the trainee teacher girl. But this went beyond my imagination.
So I prepared diligently.

I over-prepared, but I didnt rush to breakthrough limits since the Prodigys Z-grade effect was useful in the long term.
I raised my skills to the maximum.
If it wasnt for the skill Infinity that helped so that the grades didnt drop, I wouldnt have been able to pile it up this much with the job Hero now.
The change wasnt only with my skills.
I became able to summon the Holy Sword Nucleon, lightsaber, and Saintess Hs stick even in a state the ck Box was deactivated.
The principle was simple.
It was a concept that was after summoning those in a state of the job Demon King, if I deactivated the ck Box, the continuous contract would be renewed.
Your Highness face looks like Your Highness has a lot of worries today.
Yes, a bit.
I slept with Nanny for thest 3 years.
Though my body didnt need sleep, since I was a year old I had a habit of sleeping sticking to her while grabbing one of her soft breasts, with her arm as my pillow.
There was no such thing as a reason.
When I wake up in the morning, beautiful maids would assist from the side, but Nanny took care of almost everything herself from bathing me to putting on clothes.
I was too young as an emperor so even though I wanted to wear a majestic outfit I also left the coordinator task to Nanny since she made ament that Your Highness cuteness will rule the world.
Though it felt like the hurdles got higher day by day.
Is it because of the Devil Kings invasion?
Hmm
Nanny was low-key good at reading my mind.
Can we not go on the expedition?
We should go.
My goal was to return to Earth.
Even though with the start of slime toilets the Fantasia continents technology was also developing day by day, it was inadequate to fill up my heart.
Moreover, this ce was a fiction (fantasy).
It was a mirage that would disappear in a moment with the Fantasy Gods caprice. I couldnt take it personally before that fact changed.
Excuse me, Your Highness.
Say it.
I like the Sword-Girl more than the central continents Princess we saw this afternoon. Now all people are obeying Your Highness but please recall the time when Your Highness was still a baby. Do you remember? Though the world turned their back on me who hugged Your Highness and ran away, only Ms. Hippolia and she who came to find me.
Noted.
Thank you.
I made a decision after hearing what Nanny said.
They say just enjoy it if you cant avoid it.
*
I enjoyed the sulfur hot-spring bath after a long time under the snowy mountain M.
Though from the knights to the nobles they all made a fuss saying it was the great emperors trip, they were not noisy at night.
All leaving the work except the night shift!
Thepany which was my empire followed theborw quite well. Of course, violent words, swear words, beating up, and also cruel acts were prohibited in thepany.
Of course, there was also no sexual harassment.
Your Highness. I heard Your Highness looked for me.
The Sword-Girl came until the entrance of the open-air bath, fully armed. If it were other emperors, they would shake in fear seeing her and kick her out.
But I said boldly.
Dont just nkly stand there and get in.
Tha, that!
Or you have the intention of raping a 3-year-old emperor?
No way! How could I dare to!
Then get in.
This is Haa! Yes, Your Highness
Taking off the armor and putting away even her underwear, the Sword-Girl slowly walked in as if she was hesitant.
Hwiiing~!
She shivered as the snowy mountains chilly wind touched her fair skin that had not even a stitch of clothing on.
It would be warm soon as she dipped her body in the bath.
But the footsteps width of the Sword-Girl, who was shyly covering her chest and lower part with both of her hands while closing her thighs together, was narrow and endlessly slow.
When I was a baby she got in confidently, did this mean that she saw the 3-year-old me as a man?
Ssh.
But still, eventually, the Sword-Girl carefully dipped her body into the open-air bath.
Looking restless as her shoulders hunched.
Restfortably.
I will try to.
The Sword-Girl, who I thought would be like pervert emperor! I will kill you! and pounce on me if I ordered her to take off her clothes and get in, unexpectedly followed my order obediently.
Of course, her face was already red.
If it wasnt because of the sulfur hot-spring baths here, then it mustve been because she felt emotion simr to shame.
against a 3-year-old kiddo?
Wasnt that a serious mental problem?
After that, we even slept in one bed.
When I was a newborn Nanny often entrusted me to the Sword-Girl. So that wasnt a problem.
Of course, I didnt do anything.
On the other hand, the Sword-Girls sleeping habit was
Since that day I called the Sword-Girl every day to the open-air bath and woke up together every morning. But the sword girl never got used to this life.
It was because of my body.
I was growing up rapidly every day.
The nobles who had been witnessing my rapid growth werent surprised, but the Sword-Girl who bathed and slept together every night with me was different.
Yo, Your Highness. Now its a little
Im still a 3-year-old kid though?
Even though around the kids center part grew fuzzy ck hair, anyways I was a kid.
Eventually, the 2nd stage transformation became possible too.
Regr mode, widened mode.
But the transformation switch wasnt turned on by me.
One day, the Sword-Girl who decided it was too much to handle sober, drunk heavily and staggered into the open-air bath.
And plop!
The bath stabilized blood cirction.
With alcohol.
*
p!
I spread my righteous hero wingspletely.
Though I couldnt conclude it as perfect, I set up the apparatus and politics so that the empire could work even without me.
To the session matter.
Of course, it could be meaningless.
What would happen to this world if the Devil King or Hero died?
If it disappeared then my preparation would end up asbor in vain.
But it would still be a problem if it stayed.
Were the fantasy natives who endlessly got duplicated for training purpose real people? They were no different from the AI of VR games.
But I knew.
Since I have had a body of a fantasy natives.
I will surely end this fucking educational facility.
But before that,
I flew straight to the center continents Fairy Kingdom Elfheim.
For the rehabilitation of the horny student.
Chapter 96: Two Heroes ?
Chapter 96: Two Heroes ?
The Fantasia continent faced the first great crisis due to the heros negligence of his duty.
The demons and demon-followers finished preparing their evil n to dominate the world with darkness without anyone getting in their way at all and started to put their n into action one by one.
At first they were quite careful.
No way even like this would the Hero note out.
But he really didnte out.
They couldnt even see the shadow of the Hero who was supposed to protect the human race.
The viins who had been moving passively all this time happily got up in arms altogether as if they were revolting.
That was how the Fantasia continent was currently.
But in front of me those were only useless ns and preparations.
Let me show them the true power of a hero with 20 years of career.
Hippolia.
Nannys early-childhood education was tremendous.
I ended up unconsciously memorizing Saintess Hs name who I had been calling as glutinous rice cake!
Hippolia who got summoned raised up the stick she held with her left-hand high as she shouted.
Cry.
Upon that, the head of the beautiful Golem on the tip of her stick opened up its shut mouth and screamed.
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!
Three transcendental skills worked at once.
? Species: Saint Golem
? Level: 999+
? Job: Exorcist (Demon Damage)
? Skill: Energy Z, Infiltration Z, Magic Resistance Z, Interpretation A
? Status: Liberated
Sound wave that carried Magic Resistance, which was more fatal after the Divinity against Dark-Energy, spread out from the stick.
It assisted Energy, which could affect both flesh and soul, so that Energy could spread out far far away.
It was a simple noise pollution for humans ears.
But this soundwave effectively did Infiltration into the bodies of demons and demon-followers who carried Dark-Energy.
Keooook?!
Eokk-!
It wasnt an exaggeration at all to call it a biochemical weapon.
If the Dark-Energy was weak, they would die because the magi was weak. If it was strong then they would end up dying because it became more fatal because it was strong.
A trap of dying that couldnt be escaped.
It was a typical performance of the stick made by upgrading Golem that was produced to knock down the Demon King.
The Demon King corps who put the central continent into crisis fell into confusion.
I didnt lose this chance and dered with a loud voice.
This Hero is protecting the humans! Only humans!
The quick-witted demons understood what I meant exactly.
There was no such thing as a strategy meeting. It was enough that the demons with the highest grade of Dark-Energy understood my intentions.
Kikikik! Move, fast!
March to the west!
To the woods with no humans!
The army the devil nobles were leading shifted their direction.
To the Fairy Kingdom Elfheim.
*
The country of fairy was also a bit twisted from the history I knew.
The Fairy King who detested humans didnt die.
The reason was because after rescuing Princess Sylvia who was sold as a ve in the ck market, the Hero gave up on his adventure and defected to the Elfheim right away.
The Hero who was a human, silently spent 3 years executing dirty errands, difficult missions and other things for free to gain trust from the father-inw who detested humans.
Like that, when the hero was gradually getting recognized as fairy not human, the coup dtat of Prince Nasus happened.
Aw. He was okay though.
The Hero who knew the future gave the Fairy King a heads up in advance, the Fairy King who was dubious got tempted at the trust the hero had been showing while working like a ve, and prepared for the attack.
The result was, Prince Nasus coup dtat failed.
Prince Nasus who couldnt ovee the Power of Love in the heros holy sword 1 died in the war. Ayles, who was an adjutant, and the subordinates were demoted to sentinels who guarded the kingdoms entrance until they died.
And the hero got recognized as son-inw by the Fairy King.
They said the wedding ceremony was held grandly
Mr. Sieg who loves Princess Sylvia will soone to save us-
Crack.
I gave fairy #28 who provided useful information a herniated disc in the neck as a gift, as a sign of gratitude.
Sieg has he not graduated yet?
I looked back on the onlynd route that led to Elfheim kingdom after releasing fairy 28s neck which was snapped to a deformed direction.
The demons, demon-followers, the monsters that obeyed them and a wicked group forced their way through into the ce like flood.
There was no g to show the affiliation.
Instead, a fairy was hung alive on a long pole made of wood or iron. Because this way they wouldnt be worried about getting attacked through a ranged attack that uses spirit of fire.
It could also be a snack and entertainment.
People I was familiar with were also there.
Fairy A
But she didnt be a hostage.
Fairy A who ended up losing at the end of the battle of survival became a decoration on the roadside like a signpost.
Her arms and legs were nowhere to be seen, cut off. On the arrow drawn on her naked body, the direction of the demons marched was marked.
In that state, her head was tied to a roadside tree branch.
She wouldve died already if she was a regr human.
But Fairy A who was the adjutant of Prince Nasus, mid-boss I acknowledged, was still breathing.

? Level: 999+
? Job: Knight (Fidelity Fortitude )
? Skill: Swordsmanship S, Spirit S, Magic S, Archery S, Fortitude A
? Status: Anemia, Deformity, Crock, Barely surviving
It was a little different from Fairy As ability I remembered.
The skill Fortitude dropped from S-grade, 3 skills including Swordsmanship got leveled up a grade from A-grade.
It wasnt a change that I wouldnt be able to understand at all.
Because the system of fantasy EXP proficiency is; a one-time actual battle is way more efficient than a hundred times of practice.
The driving force so a Hero could catch up to a 100 years old guardian of humanity was also thanks to this structure of growth.
About the skill Fortitude
I guessed it was because she lost the subject to be loyal to.
You look terrible.
I lightlynded next to Fairy A in the state of a Demon King.
The Demons in the army who were marching to Fairy Kingdom Elfheim ignored me and passed by. Because I was a king who was like the sky for them.
Let alone having conversation, they couldnt evene near me.
They had a simr execution method in ancient Rome.
It was to tie up the perpetrators arms and legs after applying honey on their naked bodies so they couldnt move even an inch.
That way, the flying beasts and insects that got lured by the honey would eat up the humans skin,y eggs, and maggots would be formed.
Perpetrators would die after squirming in pain for a really long time.
Fairy As condition was also simr to that execution method.
Though she was still alive so far thanks to the ability she had piled up, it was no different than dying miserably.
Was itfort in misfortune that it was less painful?
Though honey wasnt applied on her body, she still wouldnt get attacked by flying beasts and insects because she was loved by spirits.
But that was it.
Who, who are you
Fairy A asked me with a cracking voice.
She, who was hollow-eyed, could only make a rough guess of my presence with her hearing sense.
Hmm. Should I say Im Hero A who was passing by?
We were in that friendship where we gave each other protein.
Though Fairy A wouldnt be able to remember it since it happened in the 2nd round more than 10 years ago.
I was different from alumni A who got excited at Ice Princess nonchnt reaction.
I knew how to differentiate 2nd rounds Fairy A and 8th rounds Fairy A. So I wasnt angry at whoever made her like this.
But, I was interested.
Isnt it interesting?
She was a fairy but she wasnt an LED monitor.
The world of genes is full of miracles and mysteries.
Swaaaaa!
The Dark-Energy that I pulled together was absorbed into Fairy As body.
The spirits who were wandering around her were continuously shouting What to do! What to do! annoyingly, but a mere one of transcendental things like S-grade spirits couldnt stop me.
Thi, this is!
Fairy A struggled while twisting the only free part of her body, her slender waist. But she didnt have any choice as she only had her body.
It was the Demon Kings power that could even bring dead humans back to life.
Restoring arms and legs was not a big deal.
But,
? Species: Demon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Knight (Fidelity Fortitude )
? Skill: Fortitude SS, Dark-Energy S, Swordsmanship S, Evil Spirit S, Magic S
? Status: Restoration, Depravity, Loyal
She became a demon.
No matter what the previous species was, a demon is a demon.
On the outside she looked like a fairy with horns, but it was simply a little better than shells covering Dark-Energy.
It was like how people tend to delude themselves that pretty girls and handsome boys would sing or dance better.
Demons appearance only gave off that much of an impression
Everything could be solved by Dark-Energy grade.
Knight Ayles. Im seeing the King whom I will devote my everything to.
After singlehandedly cutting off the tree branch that was tying her hair, Fairy A, Ayles, kissed the top of my foot and pledged allegiance.
I didnt need to turn her into a demon who was no different from a handy puppet since she wasnt dead. Different from Nanny, Ayless level was high.
But there were full of demons and demon-followers around here.
If she stayed as a fairy she would end up experiencing the same thing again.
Live as you like freely.
Im a knight. A knight lives for his king.
This is also a kings order, Ayles.
Ill follow your order.
Ayles summoned an evil spirit after getting up.
The evil spirit that was summoned after kicking out her old friends, the spirits, started to assemble the fairy corpses that were scattered around them.
And it turned into the shape of an ugly horse with 8 pairs of fairy legs.
Eeryat!
The evil spirit sprinted while letting out a horrible scream with a fairy head.
Ayles, who got on the vehicle made of corpses of her previous species and colleagues, advanced to the Elfheim with the group of demons.
Then or now, shes quick-witted.
Though I couldnt bring myself to order her around because of her reputation and score of character, Ayles worked the way I hoped her to.
It was like that in the 2nd round too.
She healed my heart that was exhausted from the unexpected faculty teachers appearance and return with those extraordinary breasts.
Is she Masters type?
No. I look at the personality of women, not their appearance!
I shamelessly answered Hippolias sharp question like a sage somewhere who formed his harem with beautiful girls.
p!
I, who came back to being a hero from the job Demon King, spread my righteous hero wings and flew high.
Hippolia also pped her 3 pairs of wings following me from behind.
Wow! What a cool view.
That was actually a spectacle.
The Demon King army that was supposed to sweep away the entire region of Fantasias central continent focused on 1 country.
Since the Demon King Fedonar revived, unabated for 9 years, the demons and demon-followers procession continued endlessly across mountains and rivers until the end of the horizon like a conveyor belt.
Excessive input of war potential.
It was the violence of numbers that a mere country couldnt handle.
Even a fairy with an average level higher than humans was no exception.
Aarrgh!
Kyaaak!
Fairies screams were heard from every direction.
The cities and viges scattered all over the territory of Fairy Kingdom Elfheim copsed simultaneously.
The beautiful forests and buildings were burning, the fairies who got captured were degraded into nothing but demons toys.
But surprisingly there wasnt really ughter.
Based on what I heard after grabbing the neck of Devil 34 who was passing by and asking him, it was said that Demon King Fedonar, who got a desperate request from the Fairy Kings wife who recently got pregnant, gave that kind of order.
To not make fairies go extinct.
So the demons didnt kill the fairies except for the aggressive ones and treated them like ves and livestock.
What a demon-like interpretation.
Right then,
Kooeeeek?!
Keuaak?!
Keeaaak?!
The kind demons and demon-followers death rattles were heard.
It was a situation in which almost all areas except the Elfheim royal pce where the Fairy King lived got upied.
It was impossible to even endure since there was an overwhelming gap between the war potentials. It was a situation in which the fairies living outside the royal pce got stripped down and disarmed like beasts.
But an unexpected situation happened, the demons and demon-followers died in piles.
But it was also natural.

But
What did you do in 9 years to have a skillposition like this?
? Astonished: Student Kang Han Soo?! Why are you here?
Chapter 97: Life is One Blow!
Chapter 97: Life is One Blow!
Professor Morals popped out while scolding me.
Isnt he too heartless?
At least I became an emperor who upied half of the northern continent after spending 3 years here, but it seemed like all the faculty workers didnt even know I existed.
I was more dumbfounded than disappointed.
How did they not know?
? Answer: its natural that I dont know! If an unsummoned hero appears, any faculty worker would get flustered as I do! From where and through what route on earth did you invade the dimension?!
I didnt feel like kindly exining that.
I ignored what Professor Morals said and turned to look at hero Sieg.
You! Kk?!
It seemed as if Sieg also noticed me, but he was swamped by the demon and demon followers who pounced on him to bite him off like piranhas from every direction.
Of course, I didnt have any intention to help.
Didnt he have to clean up the mess he made himself?
He threw away the whole giant dimension.
? Excuse: the fault isnt in our teachings. It was because the student couldnt absorb it and gave up in the midst of everything. We told him, who fell into self-deprecation in the previous round, about the benefits he could gain if he graduates. But then he got twisted ever since.
Isnt that natural?
Like what Factoria who I met on earth also had told me, if you kill the Demon King and graduate, you will part forcibly with the colleagues whom you shared the power of love and friendship with.
There were students who didnt want that.
The kind of those who regard the connections they gained in the fantasy world preciously.
The reason wasnt only that.
There were a lot of graduated heroes on Earth. So the fantasy life where heroes got respected like the main character in some novels was also ending.
From the great Mr. Hero to a high-grade security guard!
There were extreme differences with the treatment.
Though there were surely ones who wanted the Earth life like me back, the fantasy world was like a heaven and the 2nd hometown for the socially retarded ones.
I realized that while watching the news on Earth.
Hey, Professor Morals. You dont even watch news?
? Awkward: I cant tell you the reason because its viting school rules, but the faculty workers are strictly forbidden to go out to Earth. But we are checking periodically to analyze the environment where the students grew up. Student Kang Han Soo, every student has to graduate. Trying to stay in the school as long as you can is no more than acting like a baby.
He had been using the school for example but
Graduating from regr school that I knew wasnt like this.
People kept in touch with congenial friends even after graduating from elementary and middle school, and part of the alumni went to the same school until high school.
They didnt split uppletely like how it was here.
I also had been feeling something simr to a sense of loss and emptiness watching the rtionships get reset every time I returned.
There were a lot of mentally ill patients because of this on Earth.
The heroes who were missing Fantasia even after returning to their home Earth. They who couldnt adapt on Earth fell so low as to be criminals in any way.
Fantasia was a beautiful utopia for them.
What to expect? Since the Fantasia continent existed and progressed for one person like an offline RPG with extreme freedom.
Universal Greenpeace.
The purpose to save the Earths social retards was good, but they ended upcking viability evenpared to nts that grew in a greenhouse.
Professor Morals, dont you guys see thetter period of the graduated students?
? Stern: oveing breakup and sadness is also learning. There is no rtionship thatsts forever in this world. Anyone would break up someday. Also, there is no reason for faculty workers to take responsibility for the students that went out of the school. Its the fault of the students who couldnt use our teachings right.
If the grades were bad it was the students fault.
If they failed after graduating it was still the students fault.
Then when on earth will the teachers take responsibility?
? Exnation: a teacher is only someone who teaches you the right way. Whether to follow the ss diligently or not is the students choice. Life is something you develop yourself. Others wont live your life for you.
Professor Morals. I dont need in words for a cop-out.
Sieg was fighting hard even as we were having this conversation.
Through actual battles where we risked our life, the levels and skills were rising up drastically while getting stronger quickly, but he was barely maintaining his current state because of the umted wounds and exhaustion before that.
There were still many demons and demon followers as ever.
It was natural since it was the umted quantity of thest 9 years without anyone getting in their way.
It was like the Elfheim kingdom had gone extinct.
The royal pce that was shut tightly and Hero Sieg were persistently hanging on but what was the use of a country without the people?
This ce has be the demons den.
It was only that Sieg didnt know.
? Demand: Student Kang Han Soo. I think I have answered your questions the best I could. I want to know through what kind ofyover you came again. Theposition ratio of your current body is strange. Beside Fantasia and Earth, a factor like an unidentified alien is also mixed in.
Professor Morals. If you investigate the record yourself its all there though?
And you have to be clear about this.
You have never answered my questions the best you could.
You only kept giving me sophistries about how Hero Sieg went wrong isnt the faculty workers fault.
I havent asked even a question.
The first question.
Why is the whole of faculty workers hostile to the First Hero?
? Silence: our conversation unrted to education is getting longer. I will talk to you when the person in charge is decided. Thats it for now.
Professor Morals ran away!
If he was in front of me I would have twisted his neck
Siegs side was alsoing to an end.
Kikikik! Hero. Look!
The Hero that grew non-stop didnt lose, but it wasnt like the junks following him were also unrivaled.
Sieg found a female fairy who was caught in the hand of an S-grade demon with a huge build. And he cried out her name to the point his Adams apple almost popped out.
Sylvia~!
Throw away your holy sword and surrender. Because if you dont do that, I will pierce through even the other hole of this fairy. Kyakyakya!
Blood was flowing down like rain from the eyes of Sylvia, who was hanging in the air with her arms held in the giant demons hand.
There was nothing in both her eye sockets.
Sieg. Dont care about me and justhiik?!
Sylvia who was talking daringly like a female warrior got frightened as the demons thick finger squeezed in between the only charm Sylvia had, her butt.
Sylvia?! Stop! I said stop! Okay! I lost! I surrender!
ng!
Hero Sieg threw his Holy Sword 1 onto the ground.
His mental strength has long reached its limit. He had been enduring it with the automatic attack, automatic defense, and automatic dodge of Holy Sword 1 made up with Automatic.
But that had also bent too now.
Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk!
Hooks connected with chains were pressed one after another all over the whole body of Sieg who became shabby. And they gradually prated deeply.
It happened as soon he dropped the Holy Sword 1.
Chwareureuk!
The beasts and demons were pulling tightly the chains pressing on the Heros body.
Finally we got the Hero! Kikikik!
Keuaaak?!
I shook my head seeing the scene.
It had endedpletely.
That hook is called the Demons Chain.
It was a magic tool where in return for the wounds on the body pierced by the hook healing quickly, the efficiency of EXP used as the price for healing was really not good.
How did it turn out then?
Hook wound healing perpetrator level reducing chain level rising hook wound healing perpetrator level reducing chain level rising hook wound healing perpetrator level reducing chain level rising
This kept repeating like a treadmill.
Until it became level 1.
On the contrary, as the level of the hook and chain went up they ended up bing impossible to be destroyed by ones own efforts, andter it would be like a part of your body and be hard to be separated from your body.
That was why it was called the Demons Chain.
Stupid.
I clicked my tongue and diverted my attention away from hero Sieg.
Do you think demons are called demons for no reason?
It was obvious how the situation would flow after this without even seeing it.
Kwagwang! Kwang! Puhng!
The royal pce which used to be the heart of Fairy Kingdom Elfheim didnt stand even a day and was taken by the demons.
It was because they couldnt do anything about the demons troops that got doubled as Hero Sieg who dispersed the power concentration and surrendered.
Countless fairies including the Fairy King died.
The demons got in a difficult position because of it.
Id never imagined the Fairy King would die that easily
Our King said to not make fairies extinct.
Then we need to do propagation hurriedly! There, you! You!
Kikik! Right. If it decreases we can just summon!
As the Fairy King with terrible defense died in vain, hell was presented to Sylvia who became the only Ark Elf survivor.
Sleep and death were not allowed for her.
Hero Sieg who watched the scene helplessly from a close distance quickly went crazy.
Dream and hope couldnt be found anywhere.
At that time,
All of the Demon King corps assembled together into Fairy Kingdom Elfheim.
The demons and demon followers enjoyed seeing the misery and despair of the fairies who got demoted to ves and livestock.
Hero Sieg who got caught was no exception.
Sieg. Its been a long time right?
Kang Han Soo. Please kill me.
I went to find Sieg who got restrained by the demon chain. He was ruined physically and mentally in only 15 days.
Why should I kill you?
Its so painful I cant breathe. I dont want to see Sylvia suffering right in front of me anymore.
And its okay if its other people who are suffering?
What?
When you were ying around happily for 9 years, the Fantasia natives have been living in pain. The continents except for the northern continent and central continent becamends nobody lived on because of the 5 disasters riot. Aaah! I know even though you dont say it. Its not your fault. Since you have your own life.
It wasnt decided byw that a Hero should save mankind.
But in this freaking fantasy world, it had been set since the start that mankind would be extinct in 10 years if the hero didnt diligently save them.
This was the result.
It wasnt a test without a time limit.
I only wanted to enjoy rural life happily with Sylvia. What about that?
Sieg mumbled with an enchanted face.
There was only one thing I had to say to him.
Wake up from fantasy.
I turned away from Sieg who begged me to kill him.
It was slowly time for the other friends to swarm in.
Because to knock down the Demon King Fedonar, we need a Hero to counteract the Demon King penalty even though he was an unbelievable asshole.
The demons death rattles were heard steadfastly from afar.
The sword king has infiltrated! Aargh?!
Wh, what the hell? For a merman why is he so powerful?!
Avoid! Its Lanuvels wide-area magic!
I killed that fairy though? Huk! Saintess?!
Hero colleagues who were working in Fantasia central continent assembled. The heroes of the other continents died while trying to block the 5 disasters.
Sword king, Aqua, Saintess A, Lanuvel.
Their goal was to rescue the Hero.
But it didnt have to be Sieg. There was also another one here.
Hippolia.
Yes. Master.
Wrap it up.
Hippolia, who got my order, raised her stick high.
Lla~?
The stick started to sing.
The singing spread all over Elfheim.
Euaaa~?!
Kyaak~!?
Everyone who carried Dark Energy was annihted.
Almost all demons and demon followers who were working in Fantasia central continent werepletely destroyed as soon as they infiltrated Elfheim.
In a single blow!
Extermination C Extermination MAX

For the EXP the level was rocketing as the stick was monopolizing it, I only gained arge amount of skill proficiencies.
The preparation was finished with this.
Prodigy MAX Prodigy Z
Skill Prodigy broke through the limit with the skills I had umted all this time as the sacrifice.
It didnt end there.
Because the transcendental Prodigys Z-grade effect was breaking limit bes easier.

It was worth aiming for the other skills limit breakthrough.

Prodigys ZZ-grade effect was interesting.
Reconstruct from the root?
I tried with every skill I possessed. It was because my 20 years career of being a fantasy hero whispered: You have to do this!.
why did I do that?
The Professor Morals I respect. Can you return this stupid hero to 10 seconds before?
? Puzzled: I came here before I knew it because a senior told me to go. Oh my goodness! Kang Han Soo student, right? Its nice to see you again isnt the appropriate greeting in your situation now.
What happened? You look as if you got a triple F grade.
Chapter 98: 9 Years of Being a Hero
Chapter 98: 9 Years of Being a Hero
Miss trainee teacher! Listen to me!
This hero got scammed!
ZZ-grade was only a grade different from Z-grade.
Since the Z effect of the skill Prodigy was breaking the limit gets easier, I decided breaking limit was possible enough.
But what in the world?
The amount of sacrifice needed for the ZZ-grade breaking-limit was beyond my imagination.
? Category: Skill
? Name: Prodigy
? Grade: Z(2%)
?ZZ: Reconstruct from the root.
?Z: Breaking limit gets a little easier.
Did this make sense?
The amount of skills I had umted was on the level that around 50 thousands of sissies like hero Sieg had to pounce on for a barely tie number.
? Critique: Kang Han Soo student? Your example is wrong. Its embarrassing topare it with that Students meagre fighting power whose most powerful skill is the SSS-ss libido. Dust will always be dust no matter how much you pile it up~ I personally believe you can fight against 50 thousands of normal heroes by yourself.
Miss trainee teacher! The number of dust isnt the important part here!
The main point of this problem is that a virtuous and righteous hero got scammed by the cunning and unfriendly fantasy God.
I sacrificed that many skills, does only 2% make any sense?
Im sure this was the fantasy Gods conspiracy!
? At loss: I told you before. Breaking-limit gets harder the more you have transcendental skills. I cant grasp fully because it gets covered by your skill called ckbox, but you must have around three transcendental skills. Four including the Prodigy, am I right?
right. Four.
I couldnt believe she guessed that right with a rough guess.
This Miss Trainee Teacher got morepetent in the time I havent seen her.
I saw her in a new light.
? Protest: Ive always beenpetent! My seniors are also amazing, but not everyone can be a trainee teacher! The evidence, you made a mistake right after we parted ways, right? You are not a summoner nor an animal trainer, you put too much value into Golem.
Are you talking about my stick?
? Positive:
Yes. That Golem that looks like a stick. Energy, Infiltration, Magic Resistance. These three Z-grade skills are tied to your soul so you cant separate them when you make calctions. Should I say its like stats divided into two? When you do a breaking-limit you have to add up all these.
really?
I couldnt think of anything in a moment because it was really unbelievable.
If all what Miss Trainee Teacher exined was true, the number of transcendental skills I had
Divinity, Dark Energy, Blessed, Prodigy, Energy, Infiltration, Magic Resistance.
Became 7 in total!
I did think too many skills got sacrificed for breaking-limit of the skill Prodigy more than I expected, but there was this problem.
How would I know if nobody taught me!
?It was included in the high education process. By the way, youre amazing. I cant believe you opened the 7th transcendental skill with only pure breaking-limit not by shortcut like skill absorption orbination but I dont rmend it for the future. Because it would keep disturbing your growth like it is now. That is why the overall atmosphere in the Fantasia continent rmended friendship and love instead of shortcuts like Golem.
The sage could be the ssic example.
Huh! Theres nothing easy in the world
I sighed automatically.
Practically, the transcendental skill Blessed was also a skill that I didnt gain with my effort. I gained it by absorbing the priestess in the training cave.
ckbox, with the power I stole from the First Hero
I immediately got into stats reshuffling.
I wouldve just moved on if I didnt know, but I didnt live my life half-assedly to pretend I didnt know it and move on after finding the problem.
Thorough preparation and taking thorough measures.
It was my secret of being able to survive in the fantasy world.
Knowledge is a mysterious thing.
The more you know, the more things there are that you can do.
Just like my stats that had changed.
? Species: Chaos Human
? Level: 1
? Job: A
? Skill: Divinity Z, Dark Energy Z, Blessed Z, Prodigy Z, Energy Z, Infiltration Z, Magic Resistance Z
? Status: Holy Sword, Demonic Sword, Saintess
I absorbed the sticks transcendental skills by using ckbox.
I believed taking skills would also be possible if Golem was subordinate to me.
The old Prince who had be my EXP also said I can give skills to my harem girls before.
Change of thought.
It went my way only with that.
This principle was simr to when I absorbed the priestess Blessed.
I was caught in the trap the First Hero installed on earth and ended up getting dragged into the Fantasia dimension once again, but I didnt only get disadvantages.
I learnt how to use ckbox.
Should I say I learnt by feeling it myself with my body?
Even though as the private lesson fee my original body ended up getting wreckedpletely, for training like the actual battle you use your life as the tuition fee.
? Confused: Kang Han Soo student? What are you trying to do? And what in the world is that stats?
Miss Trainee Teacher. Just watch.
Because Im especially revealing it since its a secret friend.
ProdigyZ(2%) ProdigyZ(6%)
As soon as I sacrificed Infiltration Z the effect showed immediately.
It had only risen 2% even though I had grinded all my skills, but it rose drastically as I sacrificed a transcendental skill.
It was a Z-grade high ss sacrifice, but I couldnt just ignore the impact of how the number of transcendental skills I had had decreased.
I understood what the principle was.
Shall we grind it excitedly!
While shedding blood and tears.
I couldnt stop here.
Therefore
Prodigy Z (6%) Prodigy Z (99%)
The skills shown on my status became empty again. Now, whether I activated ckbox or not, there wasnt much difference.
That was how much I grinded it all coolly.
? Species: Chaos Human

? Job: Hero (EXP 500%)
? Skill: Prodigy Z, Divinity Z, Dark Energy Z, Fabrication SSS, Interpretation A, Luck A, A Storage C, Infinite E, Festival E

I felt dizzy.
I didnt even have any more skill to sacrifice now!
I failed the breaking-limit even though I grinded 4 transcendental skills.
Hmm should I just grind Dark Energy Z and keep catching the Demon King Pedonar while returning many times quickly?
Dark Energy could be restored to the MAX grade immediately with this method. I only needed to hunt the Demon King around 5 times as I kept returning over and over again.
Would 5 days be enough?
? bbergasted: the Demon King is not a Dark Energy production factory
Miss trainee teacher. I only stated the fact.
Mr. Hero? Youve been looking so serious that I couldnt bring myself to talk to you and hesitated. I will say my greeting again. Hello! My name is Lanuvel.
Im an archaeologist who summoned you after receiving an oracle when I was on my way chasing a legend from ancient times. Lanuvel means truth in ancientnguage. Im currently in charge of the wizard position in this temporary party. Nice to meet you, Mr. Hero!
Lanuvel talked to me while acting all cute.
Her stats was,
? Species: Human
? Level: 855
? Job: Schr (Knowledge= Magic trick )
? Skill: Magic Trick SS, Magic SS, Attractiveness S, Cooking S, Ageless S
? Status: Interested
Inparison with my colleagues in the 1st round, Lanuvel possessed low level and skills that didnt fit a 9 years hero experience.
What on earth is a Cooking S?
Like this she wouldnt beat even the Demon Kings subordinate. I only thought to how she managed to survive this dangerous ce.
Lanuvel. The hero youre looking for is right there sh*tting his pants. If you want to pick him up, hurry and take him.
I have a question!
Dont.
It wasnt nice at all to meet her even though it had been a long time since I saw this bitch.
Mr Hero! Dont be like that and listen to me! All the continents except the northern continent and central continent had been destroyed with the 5 Disasters activities. If we dont subjugate the Oblivion Dragon King Noebius the central continent would end up in the same shape
I already subjugated him.
My beloved colleague Noebius died a natural death, but I decided to damage his name for my reputation. No, wasnt dying in a fight with a hero more honorable than dying naturally?
I call this a white lie.
Whoaa! Youre amazing! Then what about your colleagues?
No one.
Ah Im sorry. Lanuvel became slow-witted because of the excitement after hearing such a surprising fact. There was no way you would have knocked the Oblivion Dragon King who was called as the head of 5 disasters without any loss. May the great heroes rest in peace.
I just dont have any.
Pardon?
I never had colleagues to begin with. Are my words hard to understand?
N, no.
Lanuvel who got overwhelmed by my attitude hunched herself.
Then, a fish that was listening silently shone its blue eyes and quickly interfered.
It was mermaid Aqua.
Oh my! I cant believe you knocked down the Oblivion Dragon King Noebius who made the central continent shake in fear for a long time since ancient times by yourself! Youre really powerful. If its okay would you please leave your excellent lineage for me? You will never be disappointed?
She asked me out for a mating with a sensuous voice.
Look for another male.
Dont be like that and allow me just one night The more the world is in danger of being destroyed the more species preservation is important. I will raise the child as a powerful kid. Of course, I will give you the reward for sure before that. With this body that is burning hot till my skin got dry as soon as I saw you Mr Hero?
Even though she was like that, Aqua was a heros descendant, her job was The Valiant.

? Job: The Valiant (EXP 200%)
? Skill: Spearsmanship SS, Heat-resistance SS, Sprint SS, Toughness S, Singing S
? Status: Horny, Sexually excited, Lust
This horny mermaid had gotten really weak.
In the 1st round she joined as a colleague but soon left, yet she was way weaker than she was then.
I could tell how much she had been livingzily.
This is why fish-heads are
?Question: Student Kang Han Soo, just how much of a harsh environment adventure was your 1st round? Youre on the stronger side if you didnt die without a hero and developed this much
5 years of hero experience was enough to get on that level.
With 9 years of hero experience, even churls I couldnt remember the names of would have at least two SSS-grade skills.
This was so horrible.
Aqua! What are you saying to the man you just met?!
The dazzling beauty Saintess A butt in between us like a folding screen with her face reddened.
She treated Aqua like an older sister until herst breath in the 1st round, it seemed like that attitude hadnt changed as time went by.
By the way,
Saintess As stats were different from what I remembered.
? Species: Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Saintess (Faith Revival)
? Skill: Faith MAX, Heal SS, Blessed SS, Physical Strength SS, Support S
? Status: Suspicious, Anxious
Just how much did Saintess special ability Revival get misused that her Faith reached MAX?
All the Saintesses in my 1st round were weak.
Saintess A from the Central continent, Saintess B from the South continent, Saintess C from the North continent.
They joined my party in turns like a cars tire, but they couldnt pass the average of 3 years and died.
Thats quite the stats.
Huhu! It seems like Mr Hero has seen my stats. By the way, a hero that didnte out in the oracleI never imagined that. But Im relieved that youre a way more brave person than idiots like Sieg. It would be perfect if only you dont touch Aqua with those dirty hands.
Saintess A became arrogant after a littlepliment.
Are you perfect?
Am I not perfect with this much? The stupid Saintess from South continent died as an offering that calmed a monsters rage, the lewd Saintess from North continent was burned after she got used as a Demon follower. Im now the only Saintess that can assist you in the Fantasia world. But dont worry. Because Im the mostpetent among the Saintesses.
The only one? The mostpetent?
Iughed at that arrogance.
A perfect Mr Hero would always bring a Saintess in his pocket.
Hippolia.
Ppyong!
A sacred woman with 3 pairs of wings on her back appeared like an angel.
? Species: Chaos Angel

You called, Master.
A Saintess should at least be on this level to call herself a Saintess. Dont you think so?
The Saintess I was raising was multipurpose.
Oh, oh my goodness
I liked Saintess As expression that was like a young sheep witnessing Gods miracle.
I wouldve taken a picture of it if there was a smartphone.
Anyway,
You saw that, right? To be my colleague at least
I, who was trying to kick out ipetent craps, slurred the end of my words.
Love F Love E
Friendship F Friendship E
Hope F Hope D
Because suddenly the level of the skills that I havent seen for 10 years after my 1st round and didnt have even an ounce of expectation of, went up.
Great, Icked skills to sacrifice for the breaking-limit anyway.
lets go! To defeat the Demon King together!
Wait!
When I was about to ept this rabble as colleagues generously, a voice of a man that interrupted me firmly took the starch out of me.
It wasnt hero Sieg.
That man was,
Sword King Alex
A man that deserved a punch stood in my way.
Chapter 99: Elfheim and The Secret Room
Chapter 99: Elfheim and The Secret Room
Hmm? How did you know my name No. Is it not weird that my name became known? Im the Previous Grand Master of the Royal Pce, Alex. Im hired and now working as the noble Miss Saintess guard. Since Miss Saintess called you Hero, I wont doubt that part, but I cant trust you who suddenly said lets catch the Demon King. Say where you came from.
Tall height and broad shoulders, forearms that were like logs, long legs
The ideal man body I envisioned.
He had a little difference physically with the Alex I met in the Dumpling Kingdom a few days after I was summoned.
He got a little bit stronger as he grew older.
Not just his body but also his stats.
? Species: Human
? Level: 998
? Job: Swordsman (Physical strength= Swordsmanship)
? Skills: Swordsmanship SSS, Ability to Endure Attack SS, Impregnable SS, Fortitude SS, Tolerance S
? Status: On guard, Magic Sword
But he fell short of the Alex in his best that I remembered. I couldnt believe the only skill that reached SSS-grade was only Swordsmanship.
Youre not Alex.
What did you say?
Anyways, youre not.
If he was Alex with 9 years of hero experience, he had to be a powerful man that could also fight against the current me who had be a strand of dog hair after sacrificing all of my skills.
I really didnt like him, but he was my Swordsmanship teacher.
The sword-girl, who didnt need Swordsmanship thanks to the fact that she was a born genius and her family secret, solved everything with sword aura. But Alex was a pure Master of Swordsmanship along with Prince Nasus from Elfheim, the Demon Spear Craft, and the Guardian of the fallen sword.
That Alex shouldve had at least his Swordsmanship grade reach the maximum earlier.
But he hadnt reached that yet for 9 years?
It was as ridiculous as how my skill Fabrication hasnt reached MAX grade for almost 10 years.
For Fabrication basically I needed to deceive people, but thanks to the upational disease called a righteous hero the skill level didnt go up at all.
My Instigation leveled up well
Wow. I cant believe you deny the fact that Im Alex Ah! Hero, do you also envy my nickname the Sword King?
Hm? Is that the conclusion?
In fact, it was too bad that a bastard like him was called the Sword King Alex.
Hero. Then prove it with your sword.
Well thats
I frowned after stopping my words there.
I had deactivated ckbox and
? Species: Chaos Human
? Level: 744
? Job: Hero (EXP 500%)
? Skills: Prodigy Z, Interpretation A, Friendship E, Love E, Hope D
? Status: Holy Sword, Saintess
How could this have happened!
Thanks to Saintess A who was able to distinguish Demon King and Hero at once, I couldnt activate ckbox.
The skill Prodigy reached transcendental level but this was a growth-type skill that had nothing to do with battle.
But it didnt mean I couldnt fight.
Because my real weapon wasnt skills or levels.
Are you scared?
Dont mess with me, fake Alex. Im going to you.
I took a leap straight to Alex.
Several battle skills were formed in response to my high-dimensional move, but I didnt need to check it one by one.
Since this would end before the skills got activated.
Come! Swordmaster!
Alex sneered at me and summoned his Magic sword.
The Sword King I remembered from the 1st round didnt summon his own weapon. He always had it on his waist like it was his lover and spelled his dog bone-like philosophy that it was in order to get used to the sword.
This was also different from the Alex that I knew.
Anyway,
Holy magic sword Swordmaster.
It was a magic sword that the guardian Sword God, who lost his mind while practicing swordsmanship, forged with the knowledge he gained all his life in it.
A half holy sword that had a sacred energy even though it was a magic sword. Its performance was in the top 3 excellent swords in the Fantasia continent.
The legend of the eastern continent, Sky Scourge Sword Rune.
The secret treasure of Elfheim, Spirits Sword Endymion.
The sword that the Sword God loved, Holy magic sword Swordmaster.
These were the three. Demon King Pedonars magic sword was also pretty good, but couldnt make it to the top 3 excellent swords.
That was why if we went to Fantasia continent we could see high-ranked demon and demon followers keeping track of the legend of Sky Scourge Sword Rune
Since I had used the elf sword Endymion in my 2nd round, I think I knew why everybody was so obsessed with the top 3 excellent swords.
Though it was no use now.
Nucleon.
I quietly summoned the real hero weapon.
And I stroke down vertically.
I didnt do anyplicated things like swordsmanship. Because I was sure I would win even without those kinds of things.
Daenggang-
Alexs Holy magic sword Swordmaster was broken in half.
The thing called Swordsmanship,
Traditionally would only be valid when the des collide with each other.
But there was a wide performance difference between Nucleon and Swordmaster like the difference between a straw and a lightsaber.
Because at the end of the day, Swordmaster was also a sword that was divided as many as the number of the fantasy world copied.
It fell behind in pure performance anyway, so it was a no match for Nucleon at all since even the density of its existence wascking.
W, what the?!
Alex opened both his eyes wide at the ridiculous result. At the same time he swiftly dodged it while twisting his body.
Though I wished he would think of resisting with his bare body, Alex was also not stupid to do an act of reckless bravado in front of the Holy sword that had cut one of the top 3 excellent swords like a tofu.
Tsk!
I clicked my tongue.
It was too bad that my fatal attack missed.
I wouldve cut Alex beautifully if I received calibration of skills like Agility or Swordsmanship a little more.
But if I killed a colleague, there would be a setback in the rise of the proficiency level of the skill Friendship so it wasnt necessarily bad.
Yes.
I only needed to not kill him.
Ppyong!
I dismissed Nucleons summons.
In fantasy animes, our running speed wouldnt decrease even though were holding a big sword bigger and heavier than ourselves in our hands, but it wasnt that simple in reality.
The kic energy was proportional to the mass and speed squared.
It meant that when the mass quadrupled and the kic energy remained constant, the moving speed would decrease by half.
If a person ran with a weapon around his own weight in reality, his speed would decrease 0.7 (1/1.414) times, 30%.
Of course in real situations it wasnt urate like this since there were so many variable elements like gravity, air resistance, friction coefficient, etc.
But either way, it wasnt good to just choose heavy weapons to hear admiration Whew! How did you lift this heavy thing? Amazing!
In that sense,
Eat this!
The holy sword Nucleon was on the heavier side.
Because the harder the gold was, the higher the density was too, so it got heavy.
Among the metals of the Fantasia world, there were also convenient ones which were fantastic metals that are solid but light like a feather, but in reality it wasnt easy.
Complying with physical chemistry.
It wasnt that the Holy sword Nucleons weight was about the same with my bodys, but even this weight was heavy in this state of having lost all my skills.
Even a 1% change of the dodging speed, the life-or-death and the victory-or-defeat would be turned upside-down.
That was why I dismissed the summons.
But one fun fact here.
The fantasy stats skills allowed you to ignoreplicated and profoundws of motion and stuffs like these.
Alex, in front of me, was enjoying that advantage now.
I gave up weapons and made my body light.
As a result, I was able to keep up with the dodging speed of Alex, who was cowardly dodging quickly with the help of skills.
And I hit his abdomen with my elbows that closed ranks around Justice.
Urghk-?!
Alex bent like a shrimp.
His waist would have been broken and his internal organs burst if there werent defensive system skills like Ability to Endure Attack, Impregnable, etc.
Usually I would neutralize or cancel the defensive system skills with offensive system skills. But since I couldnt do that now, only by pure strength!
I pushed ahead with the power of science.
Ppagak.
Next, the 2nd blow!
As I ran and jumped, I hit the face of Alex, who had his head down as he bent his body, with my knee.
His back straightened out naturally.
Alex didnt just stand there and get attacked.
Just because he was a Swordsmanship master it didnt mean he couldnt fight with his bare hands at all. He was also trained for situations where his sword got broken or he couldnt use it.
But this bastard wasnt the sword king I knew from the 1st round.
The grade of the skill Boxing he had was terrible.
What have you been doing all this time?
I dodged Alexs fist that was like an earthenware pot and upied his back.
H, how did you my move?
Still, both of Alexs eyes werent air holes. He noticed at once that I had a good grip on all his battle styles.
How he would attack, how he would defend, how he would dodge
I could see all of that.
Of course
It was to get revenge!
He was also not my match in the 1st round one-on-one. But to go against all the colleagues was a strain.
And Sword King Alex was the shield that was in charge of the partys safeguarding.
Even if I ambushed him, if I couldnt rapidly rule him out there wouldnt be any chance of winning. So I learned Swordsmanship and studied his movements.
This was the result.
To me Alex was no better than eating young dragon.
Crack!
A bright sound came from between Alexs lumbar vertebrae 4 and 5 that got hit by my knife-hand strike. It was proof that his lumbar disc had beautifully gone in.
Keuaak-?!
Alex was rolling on the floor.
The best scene that made me want to record it and start my day by ying it every morning was here.
Should I be a movie director when I return to the earth?
I think Id do a good job.
Mr Hero! Here! This way!
Lanuvel who was casually peeking around here and there like a tourist beckoned us toe.
But the only one who could move was me.
Alex was unable to move because of the lumbar disc.
Saintess A upied herself with rescuing Elfheim Kingdoms elves who were left after the demon and demon followers got massacred.
So was mermaid princess Aqua who seemed as if she was going to chase me around. She took care of the viins who didnt possess Dark Energy while guarding Saintess A.
Do I have to go when you tell me to?
Pleasee here! Lanuvel is asking you to like this!
Dont act cute. Youre going to get hit.
Even while warning her I approached Lanuvel.
Because even though she always introduced herself as an archeologist who was pursuing the Heros legend, from a cool point of view she was also a professional grave thief.
So Lanuvel had a good nose for treasures.
The demon and demon followers had emptied out the valuables in the treasure storage including Elfheim Kingdoms 3 secret treasures.
It was only normal that there was nothing left. But there was bound to be a hidden secret room somewhere.
Lanuvel would be able to discover around one or two in this big kingdom.
The situation was different with the past.
That time the master of the kingdom, Elf King was there. Since it was a favorable rtionship nheless, I couldnt just search or steal something recklessly.
But now it had be an emptynd without a master.
The first one to pick it up would be the owner.
Mr Hero. This way.
This is The royal pce garden.
In the burned garden, naked elf corpses were disyed like garden trees.
One as a g, another as a sandbag, another as a sign post, another as an arrow target, another as an ornament, another as a toy, another as an experiment, another
It wasnt necessarily a surprising sight.
It wouldve been seen anywhere if the demon troop were scattered all over the continent and werent just focused in Elfheim.
I also saw it a few times in the 1st round.
Even though I couldnt see it anymore since I subjugated the Demon King swiftly after that.
? Comment: Its true. There was no chance for the demons since you turned the continent into a mugmugwort field yourself.
Miss Trainee Teacher. That wasnt me who did that.
It was the fault of the beloved Oblivion Dragon King Noebius and the giant catfish Ullullu, some of the over-loyal demon and demon followers, the crazy engineer who made irrelevant Golem instead of super robot, and so on.
I dont know anything about it.
Lanuvel. So what have you discovered?
I would be greatly disappointed if she discovered blue earrings full of trivial memories that the Elf King gave his wife as her 351st birthday gift that a squirrel had hidden under some root.
I would kick that butt of Lanuvel who acted cute, in return for taking my valuable time and kic energy.
Look at this. Mr Hero.
The thing that Lanuvel, who guided me to the fountain at the center of the royal pce garden, pointed at was a manhole cover.
A route down to the sewer.
So what about this hmm?
I found something weird after questioning it.
Because in the architecture style of the elves who didnt use toilets in advanced Slime ways and relied everything on the spirits, there was no sewage treatment nt.
So were their bathrooms!
If I had to nitpick, this garden was the kingdoms exclusive bathroom.
They left the clean finish to the spirits.
They called the spirits friends but they made them handle their food and excretion, wash dishes, clean Even wipe their butt holes.
There would be no other shameless species that ignored the Labour Welfare Law like the elves in the Fantasia continent.
And they acted like they were kind and clean
Anyways, there was no sewer in the elves buildings. So we could say this manhole cover here was abnormal.
To put it simply, it was suspicious.
Hey, Mr Hero? How do you know about the elves cultures and architecture style more than Lanuvel? Then Lanuvels value would be
Shut up and follow me.
Deureureuk.
I opened the manhole cover and went down to the basement.
I clearly took this lightly until then. I thought there would be the Elf King wifes underwear he hid, at best.
I really had no idea.
Chapter 100: Where in the world is this? (Spin-off 1)
Chapter 100: Where in the world is this? (Spin-off 1)
My name is Kang Han Soo.
I was an ordinary boy, 17 years old this year.
To pass the hellish university entrance exam, I was spending my time well while going to high school and cram school simultaneously everyday.
But I wasnt a recognized study genius in my school and neither was I exceptionally good at sports.
Just an ordinary high-schooler you could find anywhere in Korea.
But I was satisfied with my current life.
One thing I feltcking in was my face but lets stop here.
I trudged back home as soon as the ss finished.
Today I walked separately with my friends whom I used to always walk home from school with except for days when it was my shift to do ss cleaning.
Well, the reason was
Tsk! Whats wrong with flush toilet development in the fantasy world?
Do they think noble Saintesses and Great Wizards dont need sphincter muscles?
Its good to have great dreams and hopes like saving a fantasy world in crisis, or to make a harem of beautiful women.
But it wouldnt bete to slowly think about those things after were equipped with basic food, clothing and shelter.
I, who every holiday never went for overseas trips and instead went to the countryside regrly, knew all too well.
The importance of flush toilets.
This was only a simple example.
Mosquitos and flies that kepting out of nowhere endlessly no matter how many times you caught them, disturbed your sleep all day. The kitchen was teeming with cockroaches. Your nose and taste buds became paralyzed at the smell of humans and livestocks filth.
It amazed me that people of old times lived in this kind of poor environment, and I respect them.
I cant believe they want to live in that fantasy world
I recalled what happened in school today.
At lunch time, I wasted my time with my friends on a subject with no nutritional value, What if I dimensional-shift to the fantasy world?
My friends were bold.
Hero, conqueror, inventor, harem, archmage, manumission (PR: manumission is freeing people from very)
They talked about their dreams and hope like a waterfall quite in detail. If only they invested at least 10% of that enthusiasm in college entrance exams or employment information, they wouldnt have had to worry about being uncertain about what they wanted to be in the future.
To be honest, it was nice up to this point but
My friends sneered at my flush toilet development.
I hope my friends get kidnapped to the fantasy world and go through some hardship!
I hoped they regretted it painfully while experiencing it themselves.
Even though such an unscientific plot like dimensional shift which is just as hard to understand as time travel is, wouldnt happen, were free to imagine, right?
I grinned and sighed.
It was because I had a lot to do as soon as I arrived home. My desk was full of workbooks I had to do in preparation for approaching final exams.
Among them especially,
Why the hell do we learn science?
What was the point of knowing the name and the use of hormones in my body? It wasnt like I could control it the way I wanted if I knew it all anyway.
Complicated chemical forms were also not that interesting except that time when my teacher talked about the production method of hand-made bombs. Even that would get you taken into the police station if you practice it in the present day.
Physics and geoscience were lets stop here.
I cut through diagonally the old yground that nobody came to in order to quickly go home where my troubling cram school homework was waiting for me.
Even residents didnt really use this route. It was because there was some confusing rumor that from time to time bullies wandered around this yground which was out of the CCTVS reach.
Seeing how there were a lot of cigarette butts on the ground, it seemed like it wasnt just a false rumuh?
what is this light?
White light was covering my body.
I hurriedly looked around, but there was nobody I could ask for advice and help about this strange phenomenon happening to me. I felt chills simr to survival instinct and hurriedly ran to get out of that yground with nobody around, throwing my bag away. But there was no sign of this light getting off of my body.
In the end-
sh!
It ended up swallowing my sight too.
*
My mind was nk as if I just woke up from sleep. But it didntst long. Because just in time my sight which turned white engulfed by the mysterious light, came back slowly, my thoughts also gradually became clearer.
where in the world is this?
I was in an old, run-down yground a moment ago. But now it felt like I hade to a middle-age European style museum.
Then what the hell were these people around me?
I could tell they were Knights at first sight. High ss military upational specialty that moved around the battlefield riding horses. Wearing silver cans that looked suffocating, they were surrounding me in a big circle as if they were besieging me.
I couldnt understand this strange confrontation.
Wee, Mr Hero!
Then, a cheerful voice of a young woman was heard behind my back.
I lost my breath after unconsciously turning around.
Beautiful.
Cute.
I couldnt find another way to express my first impression of her. The girl smiled brightly at me. What I felt was simr to the first time I saw the aspiring idol in my school.
But there was a clear difference between them.
The aspiring idol was really dressed up and looked sophisticated from her hairstyle, light make-up, hair-dye, perfume, up to even the small essories.
On the other hand, the girl in front of me was wearing an old-fashioned dress, her face bare with no make-up, but her natural beauty and body covered it all.
Her dress, just like the knights, wasnt amon outfit that modern people would wear. It reminded me of middle-age adventures and travellers.
Was that hair that looked as if honey had been spread on it natural?
She looked at me with her blue eyes.
Um, Mr Hero?
hero?
Yes! Youre a hero!
Was this girl calling me a hero now?
I dont quite understand the situation
I looked around one more time. Because there wouldve been some cameras installed somewhere if this was a movie filming set.
After examining the ceiling decorated with an antique chandelier, I froze as I finally looked at the floor I was standing on.
A huge circle with strange patterns drawn on it densely. It really looked simr to the magic circle that I saw every now and then in theputer game I enjoyed.
The cute girl came even closer and said,
Mr Hero, its time toe back to your senses. Its confusing to be summoned without notice, right? This ce is Fantasia. Its a different dimension with the world you were born and raised in. It must be too much to wish you to understand. Ill exin in detail from now on.
Wait! Summoned?
Yes! Youve been summoned through the dimensional shift magic circle drawn on the floor.
I decided to not react at all.
If this was a prank some TV station or moviepany or somebody did, my flustered look mustve been recorded by hidden cameras. But they wouldve stopped if I did nothing at all because it was no fun.
The girl started exining just as she had notified. The sealed Demon King had revived and was threatening the existence of the human race. So they summoned a hero from another world following the divine message, and the hero summoned was me.
what an obvious set-up. I understand. Is there anything left, Miss?
I wish they ended this skit that wasnt even funny soon. Because I need to finish my homework and go to cram school. I had no time to have a chat in ces like this.
Oh my God! I forgot to introduce myself. Im Lanuvel. Im an archeologist who summoned you after receiving a divine message on my journey researching ancient legends. Lanuvel means truth in the ancientnguage.
Until then I thought it was somebodys bad prank.
But soon I realized that it wasnt when the knights around me carried me away half-forcefully because it started to take too long.
Old but cleanly managed hallway.
We have passed beautiful women that would make us turn to look at them one more time if we see them in some train, bus, or on the street more than 20 times already.
Whats even more amazing was?
I cant believe those beautiful women are holding wet mops and not handbags
Their maid-like ck-and-white outfits, that were ready to get dirty while cleaning or doing theundry, were even more tacky. But seeing how the design was quite emphasizing their breasts and asses, it was obvious that the intention was to seduce high-position male workers.
It was said that in the past courtdies who were working in the pce wanted to be the kings concubine, right?
I couldnt help but acknowledge it after I looked out the window in the hallway.
A vast garden that was beautifully decorated. It was taken care of by numerous gardeners who were holding scissors or squatting down, working manually without the help of machines like brush cutters.
The ultimate inefficiency!
Too many people were gathered to fool me, who was no more than an ordinary highschool student living in Korea.
This was undeniable reality.
Shake. Shake.
Lanuvel who was walking ahead while cutely shaking her butt must be real too.
Whats wrong, Mr Hero?
nothing. I was just looking.
You are free to ask me anytime if theres anything youre curious about. Lanuvel knows a lot because Lanuvel has traveled around Fantasia!
I met the king of this country around the time Ipletely epted this fantasy world as reality. It was a man that looked like a dumpling, no kings dignity could be found, but still I couldnt take him lightly. Because this ce wasnt a democratic country, but a hierarchical society.
My fate depended on this kings order. Death penalty, torture, toil, life sentence He had the right and power to forcefully make me do anything.
I was really annoyed that he made me wait for more than an hour at the audience room entrance, but I couldnt express myints. Since I only had one life.
You came well to mynd! Hero!
Great to see you, Your Great, Wise Highness.
Everybody in the audience room burstughing at my greeting. But I couldnt help it. This was the limit with the etiquette I crammed up for an hour. But I still tried my best in my own way to not offend the king.
My hands and legs were still shaking now.
The horror that I might die.
I was desperately realizing how good democracy was as a system.
Hero. Can you see the stats?
Yes, I can.
I couldnt deny the fact that I had been summoned to the fantasy world because of this crucial proof.
? Species: Arch Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Hero (500% increased EXP gained)
? Skill: Interpretation A
? Status: Anxious
In front of my eyes I could see a half-transparent status like a hologram. It was in anguage I didnt understand but somehow I understood the meaning. And I could also see others stats.
? Species: Human
? Level: 285
? Job: King (National Power Recruit )
? Skill: Office work A Politics B Economy B Martial arts C Social C
? Status: Exhausted, satisfied
It was the stats of that king who looked like a dumpling.
I just got summoned to the fantasy world and just got to know the existence of the level, skill, etc on the stats, it was all still unfamiliar so I couldnt understand even by looking at it. But at least I could tell that the king was satisfied with my appearance as a hero.
The king got up from his throne and dered.
The chosen hero! Crisis has arrived in this country which is close to the devils territory! Knock down the Demon King Fedonar after you level up your stats while defeating the devils!
Your Highness!
Hm? Do you have anything to say to me, Hero?
I
I couldnt bring myself to say that I didnt know how to fight. I was a student until a moment ago. What I knew how to kill was only mosquitoes and cockroaches.
I had the bad name killer with dirty personality which was what my friends called me in theputer game, that was only possible because it was a game. In reality I wasnt a cold-blooded warrior. I couldnt hurt or kill others, much more if the opponent was the Demon King who was said to have the power to destroy the world!
I heard it as an order to suicide.
But,
nothing. Ill knock down the Demon King.
I couldnt honestly say I couldnt.
Suddenly, I remembered an old saying. Was it to be able to say that were scared is also a form of courage?
That was true.
It felt as if the king would get enraged at my refusal and torture me, or order the knights and nobles around to brainwash me. So I couldnt say it.
How did my ordinary highschool student life
*
Mr Hero! Lanuvel will help you!
Lanuvel promised me with a cute tone of voice as soon as I got out of the audience room after receiving the order to leave the room from the tired king. That she would be my colleague. The deadline was until I knocked down the Demon King Fedonar.
Colleague
Yes, your colleague!
I was relieved with Lanuvel who was a level 200 wizard joining me. Because I was at a loss about how to survive in this dangerous fantasy world in the future.
My current level was 1.
It was lower even than the maids who cleaned the royal pce. Are the king and the fantasy God in the right minds to leave the future of the human race in the hands of this poor hero?
There was no way the Demon King would kindly wait until I became better. He might have sent an assassin already.
Anyways,
Lanuvel, Im looking forward to working with you in the future.
Leave it on me!
She was my only hope as for now.
so I have something to ask.
Go on, Mr Hero.
Wheres the bathroom?
Bathroom?
I didnt know then.
That it wasnt the time to worry about flush toilets.
I underestimated the fantasy world too much.
Chapter 101: [8th Round] How to Use Lanuvel
Chapter 101
[8th Round] How to Use Lanuvel
The sewer wasnt made sloppily
If we opened the manhole cover and went down the installed stairs, there was really the draining function for rain and fountain water.
But,
Its messy.
It didnt seem like the Fairy King, who acted like a clean freak, would secretly hide his wifes underwear in such a dirty ce. Not just the Fairy King, anyone with a weak stomach would go back in disgust aftering here out of curiosity.
But I was a 20-years veteran hero who had experienced all kinds of hardships.
This much didnt bother me at all.
Mr Hero. This ce is too artificial.
I know. Theres not even a slime here.
Slimes lived everywhere, just like bacteria.
It wasnt an exaggeration to say that the ecosystem wouldnt be able to be established in the fantasy world, in which the killers and hunters were clumsy at cleaning up the mess after they were done, without slimes. Because slimes ate anything and everything.
For example, bandits would usually kill people and just throw the corpse carelessly off the side of a mountain road, the corpse wouldnt dpose and spread infectious diseases. Wild animals or monsters also sometimes ate the corpses, but for special cases such as when the corpses were in pitfall traps or were poisonous, it would be up to slimes. The corpses would disappearpletely around the time it started to dpose.
It was the same for the city sewage facility.
If it was the earth, the pollution wouldve been purified through various methods such as filtering, electrolysis, precipitation, chlorination, fltion and so on.
Of course, maintaining the facility would require a constant flow of funds. That was why it would be regrly inspected to see if the money spent was used for purification properly, residents petitions to change the system, andints about thend value falling were also received
But slimes took care of those all here in the fantasy world. They only needed to make a sewer and without doing anything else slimes would grow naturally and propagate, then they would handle the sewage and the other things by themselves.
And slimes that leveled up like this would be good EXP for beginner adventurers too.
In other words, slimes lived anywhere. So this sewer, where no slimes were to be found, was abnormal.
Uuh Lanuvel was going to say this. Theres really nothing Mr Hero doesnt know.
Of course. I
was going to say that I have 20 years of experience, but stopped myself.
On Earth, people tend to get treated better at their workce when they had a long experience, but my heart only felt heavier the longer my experience was.
What were you going to say, Mr Hero?
Nothing. Just follow me.
Yes! Mr Hero!
This ce was made messy on purpose. If it wasnt on purpose, then there was no reason to keep the beneficial monsters for the world like worms, slimes, etc from living here.
Lanuvel and I kept moving along the sewer. There were no footprints on the sewage that was piled up on the ground, hinting that it had been a long time since anybodyst came here.
The stench gradually got worse as if it was warning us to not proceed further.
Tolerance F Tolerance E
Sense of Smell F Sense of Smell E
Friendship E Friendship D
Even my useless skills leveled up. Chefs were continuously trying hard to level up the grade of their Sense of Smell skill, but for me this wasnt something to be happy about at all.
The stench got even worse.
So I just blocked my Sense of Smell.
PeaceC
Awoooo
Lanuvel was blocking her nose with her hands when her face turned pale. We would be okay if we got used to it but until then we needed to struggle in this stench.
Hmm. Is it an underground maze being shielded by the stench?
I stopped in front of a forked road.
The Elfheim Kingdoms Royal Pce gardens underground sewer had a really simr structure to a dungeon, only that there were no monstersing out.
Usually people would get stuck here. But there would be no problem with a professional grave robber around.
Mr Hero, this way.
Then it must be that way.
I went to the other fork, not the one Lanuvel pointed at.
Eh?! Why?!
Its a secret.
This was also the wisdoming from long experience. Lanuvel had the habit of swaying her butt gently when she was telling me the wrong direction on purpose to satisfy her curiosity.
Why did she lie?
She knew that if we kept going straight there would be a trap waiting for us, but she was curious what kind of trap that was. In the 1st round we got buried alive under a copsing dungeon because of that dangerous curiosity.
Youre noting?
Uuh no, Im going with you.
I kept taking the lead as Lanuvels guide after that. If she swayed her butt, I went in the opposite direction. If she stayed still, I followed what she said. Thanks to that, we found our way out of the underground sewer maze at once without falling into any trap or dead-ends.
Professional grave robber Lanuvel.
Trying to get me off guard while acting cute, her personality was trash. But she was really good at finding the way.
By the time we reached the end of the maze, the dirty sewer also ended. Since nobody would think this ce was a normal sewer if theyde all the way here. It became the real dungeon after the sewer disguise was removed. However it wasnt possible yet to specify the type.
Labyrinth, ruins, nest, tomb, den, shrine
We would naturally find out if we went deeper.
The doors blocked by a cipher.
A huge door was blocking our way.
It was the turn of the archeologist, philosopher, magician and so on, who had studied the ancientnguage passed down since a long time ago in Fantasia, to step in.
I didnt want to acknowledge it, but it was Lanuvels main job.
This lithograph is written in the ancientnguage. Whoaa! Its fascinating. I cant believe Im seeing the South Continents oracle bone script in the Central Continent. Thought its not strange at all if we take the fact that the South Continent is the Fairies hometown into consideration. Hmm. Were the fairies of the Elfheim Kingdom immigrants from the South Continent? If its true then this is an amazing discovery
Lanuvel.
Yes, Mr Hero!
Shut up and just read.
Uuh Im sorry. Then Ill trante the content on the lithograph and try to solve the cipher on the door.
Nevermind the cipher.
Pardon me?
Just quickly find what the fairies are hiding behind there and stuff like the precautions to take while we rob the grave.
Then please wait a moment~
Lanuvel started to scan through the lithograph quickly.
This ability of hers wasnt a skill.
Although she mustve had an assistant skill like intellect that raised her ability to memorize, the ancientnguage wasnt something that one could just learn just because they had good memory. Wed have to be familiar with the culture, ng, grammar, history etc used in society in those days.
Something that was even more annoying?
Thenguage wasnt systemized.
You needed to know how to understand the phrases and sentence structures that changed a bit or totally in every area and time period, like dialects.
That was why it was beyond my power. This was the territory that couldnt be taken care of even with Interpretation A.
Chapter 102 [8th Round] The First Spirit
Chapter 102 [8th Round] The First Spirit
That was a spirit in a female form that had substance. It had two pairs of wings like dragonflies on its back, its ears were pointy like fairies. But its chest wasnt t.
And there was a crucial difference.
Spirits didnt need to cover their genital with underwear since their sex didnt show clearly on the outside whether they were female or male.
Because theyid eggs like birds.
Spirits were spected to have an organ called cloaca in which their genitals and anus werebined.
Why it was a spection, was because I had never dissected spirits before.
? Request: please dont do it even if you have the chance to
Miss Trainee Teacher. The development of the human race started from curiosity. Keep that in mind.
? Sigh: in this world there are also truths that are better unknown. If the noble image of spirits is ruined, the childhood innocence of the innocent fantasy children would also be broken.
Ah! I remember something from the past that you mentioned childhood innocence.
There was a time when I stopped eating eggs for a while after finding out about cloaca from a documentary. I felt nauseous just by looking at eggs and dishes with eggs in them.
But it didntst long.
Bread, mayonnaise, steamed eggs, omelette rice, egg rolls
My appetite won against my aversion.
You over there youre the heroing to save me right? Arent you looking at me like some delicious chicken? The spirit looked at me with an anxious look in its eyes.
The First Spirit in the center of the underground za, the spirit closest to being nature incarnate, was definitely different. I was sure it had vaguely read my thought of dissecting spirits.
First, introduce yourself. I decided to hear it first before I made a decision.
Yes. Im the First Spirit born in the ancient Fantasia world. Land, fire, wind, water, heart you can say Im like the mother of the five Spirit Kings who control each of these five kinds of spirits.
So youre saying youre an auntie.
hearing you say something like that makes me want to hit you if only my body was free.
The First Spirit was a bit bigger than my arm. Of course, I wasnt talking about an ordinary 3 year-olds arm. I was 3 years old under the Empire Resident Registration Act (I made it.), but my build was simr to an adult.
Still that didnt change the fact that the spirit was small.
The spirits body was chained up with the devils chains. Not only its arms and legs but also its body.
Except for its oval face, that looked like it was around 16 years old, its whole body was set so that it couldnt make even the slightest move.
I extended my hand out.
Oh! Spirits can be touched.
Poke poke.
It was said that only those with pure heart could touch spirits. But I didnt believe it. Because so far I hadnt been able to just touch them, I could also cut them up with skills.
But I decided to believe it starting from today.
Poke poke!
The First Spirit that Mr Hero with a pure and innocent heart touched was very fluffy.
Im not sure if human culture has changed over the years, but dont they usually call this sexual harassment?
Im 3 years old.
So its legal.
First Spirit. How did you get captured here? And whos that fairy? Lanuvel asked useless questions to the spirit.
Such a good question, cute youngdy. Self-proimed 3 years old Mr Hero, isnt asking these questions the normal thing to do instead of kneading a spirit you saw for the first time? Or am I being overly sensitive because I dont know about the trends andmon sense these days?
Youre the normal one! Lanuvel can guarantee that.
Fiuuh! Its a relief. Anyways, Ill answer your questions. That fairy Mr Hero knocked over a little while ago is the wife of the 3rd Fairy King.
The 3rd Fairy King?
The words piqued my interest. So I stopped poking at the first spirit with my finger and asked,
By any chance, are you talking about the unfortunate Fairy King who loves young humandiesrge breasts?
I still couldnt believe it, but Boss K whom I met at the Hero Festival introduced himself as the 3rd Fairy King.
He described the human city as heaven
Technically speaking, he didnt like his t species oh?! How did 3 years-old Mr Hero know that?! The fact that the 3rd Fairy King hated his own species mustve been twisted and known as the opposite though.
Im kind of amazing.
The new Mr Hero has a lot of secrets
The first spirit kept on exining,
The 3rd Fairy King was a freak with an unfortunate preference like you said, but hes a great king who had built the country to be country-like by uniting the fairy species that used to live with difficulty as tribal existences before then.
Hee~ whats the rtionship between you two?
We were friends. So please refrain from imagining weird things! There would be no way it could get into this small body!
I didnt say anything.
Ah?!
The best achievement the 3rd Fairy King had was to be friends with the First Spirit.
A long time ago.
The born-timid fairies were a weak species that had no strength except for living long.
As baseless rumors spread like you will be rejuvenated if you sleep with a fairy and you will live long healthily if you drink fairy blood they started to randomly get hunted by humans. Persecution they used to face from human females who were jealous of fairies beauty and youthfulness was especially severe.
The reason?
Because fairies were weaker than humans.
Reproductivity rates of fairies with a long lifespan was extremely low ording to thew of nature, and it wasnt like they were born powerful like a monster either.
The fairy poption as a whole gradually became older since the rate of the newer generation being born couldnt keep up with the rate of the hunting.
Experienced fairies were naturally in charge of crucial roles. They passed the dangerous outside activities on to the young ones.
As a result, the young fairies thatcked experience and were careless easily got hunted by humans and monsters.
Fairies best strength was their lifespan, but they couldnt use it at all. Let alone using it, it became their weakness.
We helped the fairies.
The spirits assisted the fairy species who used to live like stupid primitives. The First Spirit, who had be friends with the 3rd Fairy King, asked its future generations to help the fairies.
The fairies stopped being the weak ones since then.
Elementalist, stronger than most wizards but extremely rare, was established as amon job for fairies.
The condition to be an Elementalist was very strict andplex.
A pure heart that loves nature!
For this reason, it was a problem too after bing an Elementalist. Because they couldnt mobilize spirits to take lives or destroy terrains. Elementalists became useless since it was impossible to partake in war this way.
But fairies were different.
It wasnt an innocent agreement, huh?
Yes. For the friend that always annoyed me while touching my breasts, I asked the future generations a quite unreasonable favor. Looking back now, he was a wicked friend. But if we see him from the fairies point of view, he was with no doubt a great king.
The spirits that the fairies summoned could be used in wars.
The fairies, that won in wars with the help of spirits, founded a country after rescuing the fairies captured in the human country, and reiming their stolen forests and rivers.
The city and viges, which were protected by a strong rampart, were constructed at a rapid pace.
How could timid fairies do it?
Of course it was the spirits power.
Just like how the human race in modern times couldnt imagine life without electricity, without spirits, the structure of the fairies life would be hard pressed to function even for a day.
That was the problem.
The fairies, whose lives had gottenfortable, started to worry about the future. Because different from electricity, spirits had hearts.
The 3rd Fairy King was someone with a really pure soul. He was a fool who innocently only loves breasts. Its not an exaggeration to say that because such a fairy was my friend that the Fairy Kingdom could be maintained. So at some point we started to equate him with the country and call him Elfheim.
So Boss Ks name was Elfheim.
Chapter 103 [8th Round] ???: Be My Slave
Chapter 103 [8th Round] ???: Be My ve
It was a dilemma.
If I made a contract with the first spirit and owned it, I would get two new transcendental skills.
Then you might think I could just absorb the First Spirit with ckboxs power like I did with Golem, but there were a lot of spirits around me watching. All of the spirits would be enraged if the First Spirit vanished just like that. That didnt sound good either.
So,
? Type: Skill
? Name: Fabrication
? Grade: MAX(0%)
?Z: Wins against Gods plea.
?SSS: Transforms into family.
?SS: Transforms into a lover.
?S: Transforms into a friend.
?A: Transforms into a witness.
?B: Wins against familys plea.
?C: Wins against a lovers plea.
?D: Wins against a friends plea.
?E: Wins against a witness plea.
?F: Lies be usible.
I used Fabrication, raising Fabrications skill proficiency was on the difficulty level of Hellfire. It was easy until A-grade. So I used to look down on it, but it was really not easy starting from there. It was because the trick to raise the skill proficiency quickly was to use the high grade effects often.
But to be a friend?
It was really hard to find a friend befitting my level as a cultural and socially advanced citizen of Earth on the Fantasia Continent. Same with the grade-effects above it; Family and Lover.
But still, I didnt give up.
The reason I didnt touch the other good skills and saved Fabrication not sacrificing it was because of the SSS-grade effect.
Transforms into family.
As soon as I saw the A-grade and S-grade effects, the S-grade and SSS-grade effects were also naturally predictable.
And I predicted it right.
It meant that I could even be a royal of a country if I was determined to do it. I could legally gulp down a country with an approach such as bing a lovechild that a king or emperor hid.
But from the beginning my goal wasnt that.
It would be very unfamiliar
I had been in another area for more than 10 years. I was imbued with the aura of the Fantasia continent to the point that an alumnus recognized me first at the Elf Festival.
I wanted to believe it wouldnt happen; but I just wanted to avoid the situation where my parents couldnt recognize me, who had changed so much.
Because it would hurt my soft heart.
? Serious: Kang Han Soo Student, I didnt know you were such a delicate person. It would be nice if you could also use that delicacy to be considerate towards women. Theres also a saying that a kind word is like a spring day~
Miss Trainee Teacher.
Im already being considerate enough.
? Species: First Spirit
? Level: 1
? Job: Queen (Attractive Dominate)
? Skill: Immortal Z Fortitude Z Attractive Z Love E
? Status: Exhausted, Lust, Corrupted
The First Spirit sprawled on my head. She didnt even have any power left to wag the wings on her back. None of nobility nor elegance could be seen from her. She exposed herself defenselessly because she recognized me as a lover. (Note: the author only starts to refer to the First Spirit as a she from here forth)
An Impossible rtionship, rationally.
But the skill Fabrication made it happen!
Auugh youre such a coward, Mr Hero. I cant believe you turned me into a body that cant help but love you The First Spirit whispered in a coy tone.
You can leave if you hate it.
Bad boy. You dont want to take responsibility after doing that to a spirits sensitive body? I have pride too. Im going to make you blindly love only me!
We didnt make a contract. Our rtionship wasnt bound by stats. But the First Spirit was following me. This way I could use a subordinate without a trainer or summoner, and I wouldnt have to worry about the number of transcendental skills.
As a bonus,
Spirit F Spirit E Spirit D Spirit C
Love C Love B
I didnt do much except use my finger and holy sword a few times, but these two skills were developing at a crazy pace. As if proving it, the spirits were spinning around me like flies, irritating me since a while ago.
Please go away, you all are distracting me.
But the spirits were giggling and ignored my words. It seemed like they took it as a joke. I didnt know there would be this kind of side-effect.
Look at that! Oh my God! The spirits
A human that is receiving so much love from spirits
Hes not even an elf, but getting spirits love?
The elves who were in the middle of working on the city reconstruction looked at me in shock. Even those who didnt care about their surroundings were no exception.
It was because the spirits, who were like construction equipment, were all surrounding me. They couldnt silently focus on their work, so they ended up naturally looking for the cause.
This kind of change was natural.
The First Spirit who was like the mother of all spirits loved me. Hence, all the spirits loved me too.
The principle was simr with the 3rd Elf King.
Only it changed from friend to lover.
It was then.
I cant forgive him! Ill delete all devils and humans from this world!
Sylvia! Calm down! Its me! Sieg!
Ha! Sieg! Useless piece of filth! As expected, it wasnt right to trust the disgusting humans. You have toyed with my body with that tiny thing for 8 years after deceiving me, saying that youd protect me, but you always ended up losing when I needed you. My mom and dad died because of you, Sieg! Kill yourself if you have any shred of conscience left!
Sylvia!
A couple fights broke out. Scuffles broke out between Sieg and Sylvia.
I didnt know what the heck they were doing in the broad daylight, naked. Did they lose the sense of reality after getting swallowed by their anger?
Both of them were idiots in my eyes as an onlooker.
The devils invasion wasnt like a sudden surprise attack. Through an oracle they had warned that the Demon King Pedonar had risen from the dead.
And Hero Sieg had 9 years.
But he wasted his time while raising the proficiency of his useless lower grade skills, including Stamina SSS, in the showdown with the Demon King.
Sylvia, who was seducing this worthless hero and tried to rise in status, was no different. As Prince Nasus who failed in the coup dtat died, Sylvia became the only sessor to the throne. She wasnt just another Princess anymore. But Sylvia had been living childishly like she didnt care about things like the countrys security. As a proof, she slept with a human. Was she thinking of making the half-blood human, who was born that way, the next king? That was one thing, but the bloodline of the Elf royal house family, Arc Elf was cut off. This was something that she wouldnt have done if she was in her right mind.
Fire spirits. Burn Sieg!
W, wait! Sylvia! Dont be like this! Euaaak~?!
The spirits started to go crazy.
Sieg rolled down the ground and hurriedly avoided his wifes anger. People said that a couple fight was like cutting water with a sword, but I really thought like I was dying. I couldnt believe they were having internal discord before they even knocked the Demon King down
It reminded me of my 1st round.
Elfheims descendants have really be ipetent. It wouldnt have be like this if only that friends first daughter became the next Elf King. The one that became the king was the 2nd son, who only inherited the bad things of all people, so too bad. The First Spirit clicked her tongue after looking at Sylvia.
And she said, Come back, kids. Youll get infected if youre near those stupid elves.
Her words ended the situation.
The spirits, who were going crazy with the desire to burn Sieg down, left Sylvia. There must have been the old affectioning from being together for quite a long time, but the spirits were all gone in a sh without saying goodbye.
It was also reflected well on the stats.
Sylvia, who was like this,
? Species: Arc Elf
? Level: 515
? Job: Elementalist (Blessed Spirit)
? Skill: Spirit SS Blessed S Attractiveness S Archery A ssy A
? Status: Shame, Anger, Remorse
Became like that!
? Species: Arc Elf
? Level: 515
? Job: Archer (Archery Pration)
? Skill: Attractiveness S Archery A ssy A Social Life A Agility B
? Status: Panic, Confused
Blessed which was given by the spirits was also gone as the spirits left her, and her job naturally changed since her main two skills were gone. From an Elementalist, the higher ss version of a Sorcerer, to just amon Archer. It shouldve changed into Princess, but archery that she learned as a hobby when the country was destroyed was chosen as her main specialty. It was a change that could inly tell us how much the elves had been receiving great benefits from the spirits.
Spirit friends! Come back~!
The spirits didnte back to Sylvia no matter how she desperately called them.
One of the top five most powerful ones in Elf Kingdom Elfheim fell to the level of amon soldier in an instant.
The First Spirit said, I want to take all my kids with us but since my beloved Mr Hero wouldnt want it, Ill limit it to only royals. But the elves wouldnt be able to mobilize us in their personal fights in the future. Mr Hero. Are you satisfied with this?
Yeah.
But your expression doesnt say so though.
theres something like that.
It was because I actually saw it in front of my eyes. The sight of a transcendental-being taking her power back.
As soon as the First Spirit got all the spirits back, Elf Princess Sylvia became an elf who has nothing.
It wasnt just somebody elses story.
Because if Fantasias God took my stats back, Id be a hero who has nothing, like Sylvia.
Id be d if it ended here.
Give me my spirits back!
I mean if only she could just give up neatly.
Be careful with how you speak, Elfheims child. Im only taking back my kids that I lent you. So if you want to borrow them again, fix your arrogant attitude first. The First Spirit said to Sylvia in a rxed drooping posture. What the heck was she doing on top of my head.
please give the spirits back to me. Legendary Miss Spirit.
Are you just going to say that while standing upright?
Flop.
Sylvia bent her knees easily.
She was a chic elf who needed to be kicked in the shins two or three times before she bent her knees, but she became servile with the spirits as the coteral.
I beg you. Please give the spirits back to me.
Ill try to consider it if you be my ve.
Thats!
Do you have anyints?
Ill be your ve if you give me the spirits back.
Elfheims stupid child. Ill decide slowly by seeing how you do. You dont have to do it if you dont want to. What are you going to do?
Ill do it.
Elf Princess Sylvia didnt have any choice. Because if she lost the spirits, the only ones left would be the noble bloods. Sylvia, who had strong pride, couldnt live a life without spirits. She would be like a living corpse.
It was simr to drugs that she couldnt quit. Sylvia was caught in a trap she couldnt get out of. Not only Sylvia, most of the elves were like that.
Shall I check if you mean it? Stop looking so serious and smile brightly. And dance. Shake your butt and hip. Keep dancing until I tell you to stop. Oh my! What do you care so much about? Youve been naked all this time! Quickly start, stupid ve. Ive already given you an order.
Sieg and Sylvias couple fight ended ambiguously like that.
Huhuhu! Mr Hero. Isnt it fun?
Not at all. After telling off the First Spirit, I stared at Sylvia, who was dancing naked while forming a forced smile mixed with tears.
I wouldveughed out loud at her mockingly if it was in the past
The woman who horribly hated ves, volunteered to be a ve. She obeyed while enduring all the disgrace and humiliation to get back the spirits that she relied on so much.
It was definitely not just someone elses story.
It was the future of heroes that were bound up with Fantasias stats. I wasnt an exception.
? Worried: Kang Han Soo Student. Isnt that a very pessimistic interpretation?
Miss Trainee Teacher. Its totally not.
Ive already confirmed the possibility through ckbox.
If the God of Fantasia wants to, he can take away the stats anytime he wants to. And he would impose obedience on us with those stats as an excuse.
Spirit C Spirit SS
Blessed F Blessed S
My skill proficiency raised up sharply as Sylvias spirits were crowding me. It was like unintentionally hitting a jackpot, but the supposition that I could end up like Sylvia someday creeped me out.
Though, it didnt make me want to stop.
I ground in two skills coolly.
Spirit SS Spirit SS
Then, I discovered a fun phenomenon.
It was that as soon as I sacrificed skill Spirit SS, which signified spirit sociability, the SS-grade skill Spirit regenerated back. It was because my spirit sociability got fixed by the First Spirit. It was a supporting evidence that all the benefits elves had been getting so far were applied to me.
Anyways,
Prodigy Z(99%) Prodigy Z(100%)
Prodigy Z Prodigy ZZ
I was ready.

And I was given an option.
Chapter 104 [8th Round] What Is It?
Chapter 104 [8th Round] What Is It?
Didnt I definitely have to choose Yes! in this situation?
In the 1st round, I had seen many bitches who kicked away their once-in-a-lifetime golden opportunity by hesitating because of trivial reasons.
And what would happen if I lose the opportunity? There would be a crisis I didnt want or need to go through. From that point on, it was me, the hero, who would have to pick up the pieces.
The bitches, who ruined the opportunity because they hesitated, always said Sorry. Because of me and that was it. They shouldve killed themselves if they were really sorry!
I was also annoyed with the colleagues who encouraged those bitches to hesitate while bringing up their sh*tty philosophy; Taking revenge now would lead to having revenge taken on youter.
I dont make such mistakes.
Because opportunities dont wait.
But still, I decided to look for a safe location first.
Because though I didnt know how they would reconstruct from the root, there was also the possibility that Id change into a pupa or an egg and be unconscious. I wanted to avoid risks and variables as much as I could. That gentlemanly Demon King didnt seem like he would get in the way, but there was no harm in being careful.
Auntie.
An umitted free spirit doesnt have a name. Neither do I. Though there was a nickname the wicked friend used to call me with
Auntie.
Call me the First Spirit
Auntie.
yes.
Land, fire, wind, water, heart. Dont act like youre not an auntie after giving birth to five kinds of sons.
Spirits take from their soul with their power in it to make eggs. We dont use that kind of profane method Mr Hero is imagining i think there are some who do? Hm hm. Anyways, not me.
Auntie. Try to gather as many spirits as possible.
My kids? Why?
To protect me from now on.
The First Spirit, who was still peacefully lying on my head, pondered while groaning before she said, Mr Hero. Thats a difficult demand. I hate to say this, but assembling free spirits is hard even for me. But it might be possible today since its a special day. If you throw a party tomemorate the First Spirit being released from the wicked elfs chains, I think a lot wille to enjoy.
A party?
Yes. Spirits really like parties.
In these ruins?
Though they were in the middle of diligently reconstructing the facilities destroyed by the invasion of the devil and devil followers, it seemed like it would take a really long time for the Elfheim Kingdom to regain its previous form.
Dont worry about that.
Well do it if youre confident. But, it must not take too long.
For me, there was nothing to lose at all if it failed.
Yes. Mr Hero. So! Guys! Lets throw a party! Everyone who wants to hear the intense love story of Mr Hero who saved the unfortunate spirits, who got enved by the wicked elves,e on!
There were topics that anyone regardless of the times, countries, genders, and ages liked.
Love, war.
The spirits were no exception.
The First Spirit promoted the party with lies full of exaggerations. Innocent spirits around the Fantasia world got fooled and came here in crowds.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions They came endlessly.
*
The spirits who came for the party didnte with nothing. They brought a lot of seeds of nts that became endangered as the Eastern Continent, Western Continent and Southern Continent got destroyed by the 5 Disasters riot. Though most of it weremon weeds, there were also some medicinal herbs and sacred herbs which were called as rare or legendary that only grew in a special environment.
The spirits nted those seeds all over the Elfheim Kingdom. And the seeds grew really fast like they were being fed exp instead of fertilizer. The burnt forest and grasses looked even more beautiful than before in no time. It was more like a fraud than a mystery of nature. But it was natural in the fantasy world.
Every time a huge monster moved, the ecosystem would be destroyed. On days when powerful monsters had a fight amongst themselves, the terrain would be turned upside down. Didnt the 5 Disasters wipe out the continent? As a result, in the Fantasia continent, the five kinds of spiritsbining their strength together would have an effect of elerating the rate of growth of animals and nts.
Hoo~ quite good though?
Elfheim transformed into a huge botanical garden as Fantasia Northern Continents rare nt seeds were also imported.
If this ce was named, it would be Spirits Paradise.
It didnt look like the sweet and resplendentnd of the elves anymore. This would be a message the First Spirit conveyed to the elves and also a small revenge. Now were the masters.
Mr Hero. You saw that right? This is the power of spirits.
But not everyone liked it. Sieg, who saw the sight of his lover Sylvia going wrong after bing like a circus monkey surrounded by the spirits.
He was shaking as he shouted, I cant be in this kind of world anymore! Angel! You hear me right?! Please return me! Ill knock down the Demon King like you wanted me to this time! Sylvia! Well see! I was wrong to begin with. I shouldnt have treated a ve like a human. Keuk keuk!
Sieg, whoughed wickedly, waspletely out of his mind. I could tell just by how his Madness skill was in the middle of a rapid growth spurt.
It wasnt just me who thought so.
Was he always like that?
I cant believe a hero is breaking down like that
As expected, he was simply a pervert.
Alex, Saintess A, and Aqua, who partly finished the elf relief work, said one after another while looking at Sieg. Then they stealthily looked at me.
Hope B Hope A
Damn bitches. It puts me in a hard position if you pin your hopes on me.
Even in the midst of this, the Fairy Kingdom Elfheim was turning into a jungle, a primeval forest untouched by humans.
Wasnt this ce the true fantasy?
On the contrary, hero Siegs madness was only getting worse as time went by.
Angel! Did you tell me to knock down the Demon King? Please return me! Whats the use of saving this ruined world! And I have no intention of going back to Earth. I dont care about such things as friends and families who dont know my real value Angel? Are you listening? Angel! Angel! Daaamn~! Daaaamn iiiit~!
still, I just let Sieg go crazy.
Because not only Sieg couldnte at me because he was a coward, as Siegs mental illness got worse, the way those junks looked at me upgraded.
Hope A Hope S Hope SS
We could say it was a really desirable growth.
But I had no intention of keeping Sieg close to me forever. Because I would never know what he would do while holding a grudge while I reconstructed from the root with the Prodigy ZZ-grade effect.
So I ordered Lanuvel.
I need you to take him out and catch one or two devils.
Why should Lanuvel do that?
Because you summoned Sieg. You need to take the responsibility until the end. I wont tell you to marry him, so just get him out of here.
Uuh yes.
Take Alex with you too. Both of you might die away from home in a day if I only send you two. Well, we cant do anything if you all still die.
Mr Hero! Please pray for Lanuvel to return alive!
Get lost.
I stealthily deported them like that.
The other two junks also left naturally.
Saintess A, who lost her confidence since she saw my Saintess H, voluntarily apanied Sieg on his adventure. Mermaid Aqua who was flirting with me day and night was dragged away by Saintess A.
But it didnt feel empty around me. Because countless spirits were enjoying the party. They were all in different forms depending on their surroundings, but I could tell the five kinds apart by the color making up their body.
Land, fire, wind, water, heart.
The energy of mother nature was concentrated on the ce as the spirits gathered up.
This ce was the core that was called the eye of the typhoon. The location was safe as it was surrounded by the spirits, and it was perfect ording to feng shui.
In other words, it was an ideal ce.
It would be nice here!
I activated my Prodigy ZZ-grade effect.
Then a message was heard.
Question 1: What do you like the most?
Women
Super robot
Massacre
Loot
Family
didnt they say reconstructing from the root?
Suddenly a multiple choice question popped out. And it was something like a psychological test where there was no definite answer, on top of that.
This way even God wouldnt be able to predict. Since the result of the reconstructed root would be different following my choices.
But I needed to choose carefully.
What I liked the best.
But it was hard to pick the one I liked the most, since all five of the choices were things I really liked.
But I had to choose one since it said the most.
My head started to hurt as I had a serious problem with making decisions.
Loot
I chose number 4 after much consideration.
Because I hated doing free service without gettingpensation. I was sick of Fantasia natives who were trying to boss me around for free just because I was some hero.
So I liked loot.
It was rewarding since it was a fairpensation for my work.
? Question 2: What do you hate the most?
Pincer movement
Colleagues
Free service
Faculty staffs
Returning
It didnt end with just a question.
They asked what I hated the most this time.
Ah this question is pretty hard.
They picked out the things I hated like a ghost and put them out as the choices. It was too much to only choose one.
But I couldnt not choose forever.
It couldnt be helped.
I was sure this choice would have an effect on my reconstruction. Then I had to choose intelligently.
If I chose number 1 or 2, I would have a great immunity and ability to counter the moves for the power of friendship.
Number 3 had something ovepping with loot that I chose for the previous question. If I chose this, wouldnt it get strengthened even more?
Number 4 and 5 would be against the fantasy education system.
Then my choice was,
Returning
If I returned, everything was reset. I could preserve some of my stats using ckbox, but a person cant just live with stats alone.
What about the interpersonal rtionships I had built so far?
Social retards like Sieg would like it, thinking Ill do well this time and marry that person!, but I didnt.
We cant move forward to the future if we turn ourselves away from reality.
So, it was number 5.
? Question 3: What do you do the best?
Slipped neck disc
Slipped lower back disc
Killer smile
Finger
Embodying justice
This question was too easy.
Slipped discs were enough with my skills now, and I didnt know why killer smile and finger were there.
Therefore, this was it!
Embodying justice
A specialty that fit a righteous Mr Hero like me.
? Question 4: What are you the most scared of?
Mong
Death
Mother
Returning
Universe
This was pretty easy too.
Every time I used Master Mongs teachings, I couldnt help but feel scared of this great being. But there was no need to worry because Master Mong was good-natured.
Therefore, number 1 was ruled out.
What would I get by winning against my mother? So number 3 was also ruled out.
The choices left were number 2, 4 and 5.
I was always afraid of death, but it was useless to just not die. It was better to avoid the dying situations itself by getting stronger. So number 2 was ruled out.
Number 4 was also ruled out for a simr reason. I only needed to get stronger so that it would be no problem even though my fantasy stats got taken away.
Therefore,
Universe
The huge universe was marvellous the more I got to know it. Since in the universe time, even an eternal being could only experience a single moment across the existence of the Universe.
Things like magic to make a ck hole?
It was bullsh*t said by con artists and braggarts who didnt know that if it was really made, the would getpressed into the size of dust.
I was scared of the universe the most.
? Question 5: What do you find most impressive?
Lanuvel
Noebius
Alex
Ssosia
Mong
After scanning all the five choices, I found number 4 to be unexpected.
The daughter of the Demon King. A cowardly bitch.
That was all I knew about the female devil called Ssosia. But I didnt know it would leave the strongest impression on my life.
But I couldnt deny it.
Because I still remembered her name.
But,
Alex
My choice was number 3.
My sex might be changed into a woman if I chose number 1 or number 4, right? I just wanted to avoid that.
Number 2 was also dismissed for a simr reason.
The Oblivion Dragon King Noebius was my beloved colleague, but I didnt want to be a flying lizard.
Number 5s temptation was powerful, but the reason why I didnt choose it was simple.
I also didnt want to be an eunuch, as much as I didnt want to be a woman.
? Prodigy ZZ: Youve worked hard. Thank you so much for answering the Q&A sincerely. If you reconstruct from the root, there will be no turning back including returning or previous life, and no one will take the responsibility for the result. If you have understood the content, please agree. (Yes/No)
They were making me anxious until the end!
But still, my choices and decisions would not change.
Now, lets shout it out loud.
Yes!
? Prodigy ZZ: Were starting the reconstructing from the root.
A drowsiness I couldnt fight off came over me.
Chapter 105: This Mr Hero’s Career Again…
Chapter 105: This Mr Heros Career Again
[8th Round] This Mr Heros Career Again
I came to my senses as soon as I recognized myself.
First of all, I checked if the senses of my lower body were fine. Because my mom might have a fit if this thing disappeared, and she would hit my head with a tennis racket as soon as she woke up.
Shuuak!
Fortunately, testing showed that there was nothing wrong over here. That fact alone was enough to reassure me. I had passed the minimum danger if it wasnt a sex change or eunuchism.
Now, lets check the stats that activated the ckbox leisurely.
? Species: Natural Human? Level: 1
? Job: Demon King (Hero Level)
? Skill: Prodigy ZZ Divinity Z Demonic Energy Z Spirits MAX Blessed MAX Fabrication MAX Hope SSS Love SS A Friendship A Interpretation A Luck A Storage C Infinity D Festival D
? Status: Pervert, Holy Sword, Magic Sword, Saintess
The species changed.
From a chaos human who was deeply rted to the First Hero, to apletely unfamiliar natural human.
A natural human?
It meant a living organism with a human body. It was a collective noun for humans who had equal legal standing before thew.
There was another hidden meaning behind natural humans.
Humans that escaped the mundane world and lived in nature. It also meant humans who didnt belong anywhere under thew.
For example, lets say apany CEO insulted his employee and it was imed as a natural human mistake rather than the panys fault. Then it would end up as a trivial argument between individuals and not a CEO using his position to oppress the weak ones.
Its fun.
These characteristics were well reflected in the species natural human.
If I enabled the details,
? Type: Species? Name: Natural Human
? Grade: Unique
? Uniqueness 1: Absorbs EXP.
? Uniqueness 2: Preserves EXP.
? Uniqueness 3: Uses EXP.
? Characteristic 1: Receives spirits love.
? Characteristic 2: Be under natures protection.
? Characteristic 3: Receives universes energy.
? Species 1: Reproductivity is superior.
? Species 2: Has limitless potential.
There were a lot of changes in the species characteristics.
We would know if we used the Uniqueness 3s Use EXP. ability by ourselves, but simply put, it was absorbing EXP and storing it. There were already simr effects to this. Methods such as how vampires used blood as a medium to take away humans EXP, or how healers received EXP as a price for treatment, and so on. But none of those methods came without any conditions attached, unlike this one.
As proof,
Level: 1 Level: 2
My EXP increased even though there was no one to take away the EXP from. I absorbed the power that was scattered across nature.
I couldnt believe my level went up even if I stayed still.
It was species characteristics that broke away from the existing EXP system. Literally, natural human-like tyranny!
The difference was more apparentpared to my previous species before reconstructing from the root, chaos human.
? Type: Species? Name: Chaos Human
? Grade: Ancient
? Ancient 1: Can learn all skills.
? Ancient 2: The possibility is hopeful.
? Characteristic 1: Chaos effect is rising.
? Characteristic 2: Destruction effect is rising.
? Characteristic 3: Oblivion effect is rising.
? Species 1: Reproductivity is superior.
? Species 2: Has limitless potential.
Everything changed except the basic effects of the human species.
It wasnt just all nice.
Because as the spectacr species characteristic that said I could learn all skills disappeared, Divinity Z and Demonic Energy Z started to collide.
Kheuk! Kaboom!
It seemed dangerous. So I deactivated ckbox and sealed away the two skills.
But 1 level?
To go against Demon King Pedonar, the lower the level was the better it would be. But didnt it go down a bit too much?
Where were they thinking of collecting EXP
Mr Hero! Youre awake! Did you sleep well?
I was lying down upon my back and the First Spirit, who was sitting on my Adams apple, was greeting me with a bright smile.
Auntie. How long did I sleep?
I think around 5 years.
Oh my
My Fantasia career had increased by 5 years in a blink of an eye. The others would return to earth after 2 to 3 years, but I had been staying here for 25 years already.
By the way, what was with this spirit auntie?
What are you doing on my neck?
Was it aroundst year? A very nice smell started toe out from Mr Heros body. Especially, if I smell the sweet breath you exhale, I unconsciously get drunk in the scent. So by the authority of a First Spirit, Im in the middle of having the perfect ce to smell the scent to myself.
I cant believe a human males bad breath made her feel good? This spirit must be a pervert.
What do you mean by in the middle of having it to yourself?
Literally that, take a look at your body.
I see.
The spirits were attached on my arms and legs like leeches. By the look of it, it seemed like it was the influence of species characteristic receives spirits love. I never expected an honest environmental destroyer like me would have a harem of spirits.
I also checked the First Spirit while I was at it.
? Type: Species? Name: First Spirit
? Grade: Unique
? Uniqueness 1: Produces EXP.
? Uniqueness 2: Does not go extinct.
? Characteristic 1: Receives spirits love.
? Characteristic 2: Is under natures protection.
? Species 1: Has excellent sociability.
? Species 2: Is specialized in one element.
It seemed like some of my species characteristics came from her. The environment where I was surrounded by countless spirits had an influence on my reconstructing from the root.
I was thankful for that but, Auntie, get off. You guys too.
I stood up while waving my hands around as if I was swatting annoying flies. The First Spirit sat on her ass, treating my head like a cushion, the spirits started to spin frantically around me while bursting outughing.
Level: 2 Level: 5
The level still diligently went up even in the midst of this.
Based on my close observation, the power of the elements that the spirits naturally released was reced by high density EXP and it was getting absorbed into me.
Continuously.
I moved my head slowly from left to right and looked around. The ce where I was just lying down was the center of a flower garden full of beautiful flowers. The sky was blue and the wind was refreshing. It was either I was moved after I fell asleep with Prodigy ZZs effect, or this whole area had turned into Shangri-La due to the continuous habitation of the spirits.
Tell me all the big incidents that happened in the 5 years I was asleep.
Yes, Mr Hero. The First Spirit started to tell me in detail.
But there was no important incident.
11 years of being a hero.
Hero Sieg, who went on an adventure to the southern continent that was burnt down like a lump of charcoal, knocked down the 5 Disasters. But in that process the Sword King Alex died in the battle because he got a herniated disc at a crucial moment! The corpse couldnt be retrieved since he died after drowning inva, of all things. So, Saintess A couldnt restore Alex back to life.
12 years of being a hero.
Hero Sieg went over the eastern continent that had turned into an archipgo, after almost all of itsnd had been submerged. He seeded in knocking down the 5 Disasters with mermaid Aqua ying an active role. But too bad she was a freshwater mermaid. Aqua, who was exhausted after getting exposed to seawater for a very long time, got caught by seawater mermaids that were enraged by the death of the Guardian Angel. And she was pickled with salt.
13 years of being a hero.
Hero Sieg led Saintess A and Lanuvel and moved to the western continent that had turned into thend of the dead. Saintess A, who had a powerful divinity, went against zombies that rushed in continuously and didnt budge an inch. And finally even the 5 Disasters were subjugated! But the souls of the dying 5 Disasters got inside her tired body and the tragedy repeated itself.
Hero Siegs choice?
He ran away to the central continent as Lanuvel tried to stop Saintess A who had be a new disaster stronger than the 5 Disasters. And Hero Sieg then married a beautiful princess 12 years younger than him.
What about Lanuvel who was left alone on the western continent?
She self-destructed while hugging Saintess A who had gone crazy after the corruption of the 5 Disasters and the death aura.
Huh! Hes worse than me!
I also sent away many of my colleagues to their death in the 1st round. But I was different from Sieg. There was not even one incident where I killed my colleague because I was weak or stupid. The reason was always their own carelessness or wrong choices.
Auntie. Any other stories beside those about asshole Sieg?
Hmm ah! There is.
14 years of being a hero.
On the peaceful north continent, the sword girl who gave birth to a healthy prince was a regent. She united the north continent after 2 years. It was said that the military force of the Northern Continent Unified Empire, who were able topletely absorb and use the Golems power, would be enough to make even the 5 Disasters run away.
What about the Demon King?
I cut the spirits exnation because I didnt want to keep listening to stories about the northern continent.
Flutters~
Righteous wings sprouting on my back before I knew felt ticklish. I wanted to fly right away to the northern continent
The First Spirit shook her head from side to side. I dont know at all. Because my kids cant be in a ce where demonic energy and divinity are dense for a long time.
I see.
But I know about Hero Sieg! He tied up the central continent with a marriage of convenience after getting motivated by the Northern Continent Unified Empire. Quickly, while suppressing the kingdoms that refused to do so with military force. Sieg married 8 timesst year alone, and he has an elite guard unit consisting of beautiful women.
I gently pressed my temple after hearing this far. It wasnt even over.
Mr Hero. You woke up at a really good timing. Sieg is on his way here to invade, with the troops appointed by every country in the central continent. He said hed turn the elf race who had betrayed humans into ves.
Huh?
He was the first one who betrayed humans. What kind of bullsh*t was that?
It was then.
Mr Hero! Mr Hero!
Sylvia, who was the princess of the Elf Kingdom, wasing running hurriedly while calling me. But she was dressed up like a primitive from the stone age. She didnt even wear thin underwear.
Hey. What is that youre wearing?
To live along with noble spirits in nature
Seeing how her eyes shook as she talked, it seemed as if this elf really didnt wear the primitive outfit because she wanted to.
? Species: Arc Elf? Level: 647
? Job: ve (EXP 50%)
? Skill: Attractiveness S Spirit A Collecting A Dance A ttery B
? Status: Urgent
Did she serve as a ve diligently for thest 5 years? Even though it was way below the SS grade it was in the past, Sylvia seeded to recover her Spirit skill to A grade. Seeing her skills, it seemed as if she really went through a tough time.
So why did you call me?
Ah! Please save us fairies! Im sure Sieg holds a grudge on me. Mr Hero, I will do anything you tell me to. At least this body if you want to
I dont need your body thats full of recessive genes.
I didnt hesitate even for a 0.1 second and refused it firmly.
? Type: Species? Name: Arc Elf
? Grade: Rare
? Rare 1: Unlimited vitality.
? Characteristic 1: Hearing effect is rising.
? Characteristic 2: Attractiveness effect is rising.
? Characteristic 3: Prodigy effect is rising.
? Species 1: Has excellent vitality.
? Species 2: Has corrected genes.
Arc Elfs species characteristics that I checked in detail were quite great, but Fantasias stats werent everything. Sylvias genes that I had observed were really low-grade.
T, that!
But Im interested in your EXP.
I swiftly kissed Sylvias plump lips. She was flustered because she wasnt ready, but it was only like that at first. She didnt reject me and quickly adapted. She put her arms around my neck and kissed me back aggressively.
Hmm.
Sshp-! But my goal was her EXP and not her body. I wished she wouldnt misunderstand too much.
Oop?! Sylvia, whose three-inch long tongue was a natural at the act, as if she had practiced a lot with Sieg, opened her eyes wide. It seemed as if she only realized what was happening after all the fun was over.
Kang Han Soo: Level: 7 Level: 647
Sylvia: Level: 647 Level: 1
The species natural humans EXP absorption rate was really high. Was it because I absorbed it by kissing, which was something familiar to me? Id know for sure after trying it out using more various methods, but I was really satisfied with the species characteristics for now.
Flop!
Sylvia, who became lethargic because of the sudden drop of level, plunked down helplessly on the flowers. On the contrary, I was overflowing with energy.
Okay! Shall we go to catch Sieg now that Ive received an advance payment?
Lets go out to see what would happen if I used the EXP I had absorbed!
Chapter 106: Elf King’s Counterattack
Chapter 106: Elf Kings Counterattack
[8th Round] Elf Kings Counterattack
Spirits hated fights. It was hard to pick one reason why it was so because there were too many, but they had a strong tendency of avoidingrge-scale battles since it would ultimately end up destroying nature.
But, there was an exception.
The spirits fought for a long time for the elves that imprisoned the First Spirit. As years passed by, young spirits who were bornter looked at their seniors and thought we need to fight even though we hate it. and they had been enduring it like that without knowing why it was so.
Since then, elementalists and sorcerers started to y an active role on the battlefield. But it also ended as of today. Following the liberation of the First Spirit from the elves evil hands, the spirits were also freedpletely from the battles they hated.
They didnt need to fight back anymore, unless it was an environment destroyer trying to destroy naturethat they hated more than a fight in which somebody would get hurt.
Sieg must be out of his mind! The First Spirit, who mistook my head for an Empresss carriage, was outraged.
Currently, Sieg was destroying a jungle randomly. If Earths environmental organization, Greenpeace, knew this, they wouldve crushed his head. Siegs behaviors could definitely be termed as evil. ckpanies on earth destroyed nature for pure profit. Though it was to take care of thepany CEOs own self-interest, the employees might get a measly rise in their sries or more jobs might be created. But Siegs behavior wascking even this kind of professional excuse.
It was simply a revenge against his past wife.
If that was all he did I wouldve just epted it. Since in Germany in the past if a married couple got divorced theyd also fight in a life-and-death battle. The husbands lower body would get buried in the ground as a penalty and he had to fight against his wife like that. Until one of them died.
I believed it might also happen in the barbarous fantasy world.
But I couldnt bring myself to approve Siegs way of thinking; it wasnt enough for him to just kill his wife, he also wanted to ughter her entire species.
Even in many countries on earth, where they would even kill the cousins forty times removed of someone who was caught in a plot of treason, wouldnt do this.
Hmm. I dont understand Siegs behavior. This ce is already like and of spirits anyway. Whys he taking out his anger towards us?
Did Sieg even start to mistake spirits for elves because he went crazy?
The war was in full swing. The elves attacked with bows, the spirits used the 5 elements to block the human army. It seemed as if the humans were slowed down due to the spirits overwhelming strength, but the tables were turned with Siegs order to burn the forest and pollute the river.
It was harder to protect than to destroy.
The spirits had to split their military force into two, one to fight the humans and one to protect nature. People might argue that they just needed to deal with the human who was the ringleader first, but the spirits couldnt ignore the damage that urred in the meantime. They couldnt use tactics that asked them to sacrifice the smaller things for a bigger one. Their beloved families were dying in front of them, did it look like they would run after the culprit?
Of course, the spirits anger level was at its highest.
Dont worry! Because theres a troubleshooter for all your problems right here.
This A-ss Mr Hero would solve the problem fair and square.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Violence for violence!
I used my EXP.
647 level 646 level 645 level 644 level
The level was declining rapidly in real time. But in return, an unheard-of power started to flow through my body.
The principle was simr to the skill Congestion that an elf hero used on Earth right before he self-destructed in the past. But this one had an overwhelmingly better efficiency. Its level wasnt on the same level as a skill.
Hooong
But I couldnt stay still like this. Because it would be a waste if I didnt use it when my level was in the middle of declining.
Ppyong!
I summoned the Holy Sword Nucleon. I was poor in skills as I sacrificed them all for breaking the limit, but this Holy Swords attack power had always been at its maximum. There was nothing in the partitioned fantasy world that it couldnt cut. With this, even that coward bitch wouldnt be able to bounce off with her breasts!
Well help too, Mr Hero. Kids! The First Spirit shouted above my head. Her way of speaking was light as if she was calling them kids who want to y together, gather up!, instead of calling them to go to war.
But the result was totally different.
Thud! Hiss! Whoosh! Ssh! Squish!
Land, fire, wind, water, heart.
The 5 kinds of power that the enraged spirits poured into the Holy Sword Nucleon became one and a huge amount of EXP was condensed.
642 level 644 level 646 level
The level also stopped declining and went back up. It was the result of how the amount of EXP I absorbed from the spirits wasrger than the amount of EXP that was decreasing as I made my body more powerful.
I thought I kind of knew how to use my new species natural human. Lets take the lead in protecting nature in the future!
Kang Han Soo! Sieg who felt my unusual aura shouted from afar. There was a cheering squad of beautiful women that was called the elite unit around him. It reminded me of the old Princes harem.
That time, what did I do again?
Sieg. Wee. Ill cut you beautifully.
There was no need for conversation between us. It was none of my business whether Sieg felt sorry for his wife or whatever. What was important was the fact that he attacked even though he knew that I was here in this ce.
Nopromise or excuse would work for that.
But, it was really troublesome to go to Sieg that far away. Because it was another work to break through the crowded human army.
So I changed the method.
648 level 48 level
I amplified the destructive force of the condensed power by using EXP boldly.
Chwaaaaa-!
The brilliance of green that symbolizes life kept spreading out from the Holy Sword Nucleon that I held upright and prated the clouds. I could intuitively feel that the preparation was over.
Ah!
Huk!
What the -!
Fantasia natives who saw the overwhelming scene were shuddering and were frightened out of their wits. Then they instinctively felt the danger and stepped back. But it was toote after they realized.
I drew a vertical line in the direction where Sieg and his elite unit were at with the Holy Sword Nucleon. There was no such thing as swordsmanship or techniques. Only the overwhelming pressure of pure violence!
Koogoogoogoo~
The green brilliance, which skyrocketed high to the sky like the Tower of Babel, dropped like dominoes in the direction of the human army. To be exact, on Siegs head. I could say that the knights, nobles and beautiful women standing in front of and behind him were unlucky.
Of course, they didnt just let me off.
Haaaap! Sieg swung Holy Sword 1 with a roar like a beast.
Way to go! Sieg oppa!
Sieg kun! I believe in your victory!
Allow me to reinforce you, Sieg sama.
Sieg oppa. Fighto! ON!!
The beautiful women, who wore protective gear that I couldnt expect would protect them at all because they were designed to show off their elegant bodies, cheered on Hero Sieg. They would be swept away like dust if they didnt escape to the right and left now like the terrified soldiers and knights did, but Siegs elite unit didnt avoid it. And they assisted Holy Sword 1 with their powers.
Kang Han Soo! This is the real power of love and friendship!
The additional function of Holy Sword 1 was how its killer move got more powerful after it responded to love and friendship. A pink sh of light, that was zing like a hot me, confronted me.
Love?
First of all, mine was love too.
Sieg. Receive the power of your divorced wife.
What?
Thud-!
Green and pink. The powers of the two loves collided against each other. It was brought to an end in an instant.
Sylvias power of love, that she had invested more than 600 levels into to fight back her divorced husband Siegs revenge, was way more powerful.
There was no chance of winning for bitches that peacefully thought it would work out anyways with only cheering spirit, without going through sacrifice and loss.
As a result, Siegs elite unit was massacred.
It wasnt like I felt sorry for the women. They just ridiculously got caught up in the midst of cheeringfortably while being sure that Sieg would win. It wasnt my fault because it was idental.
How was I supposed to fight while taking care of ants, that didnt run away even after seeing my performance of gathering power, so they didnt get hurt? It was their fault.
But still, what a bummer.
Currently it was my 15th year of being a hero.
I used to take pride in knowing every beautiful woman in the Fantasia Continent, but it was only until my 10th year of being a hero.
I wasnt interested in the little kids that made me think this girl would grow up into an amazingly beautiful woman 5 yearster. as soon as i saw them in their childhood. Because literally, it would be 5 yearster. But those 5 years flew by.
I wanted to check if they had be beautiful women like my prediction, but they got massacred without leaving a bone.
But the regret didntst long.
Because they were women that didnt have an eye for men and they fawned over Sieg. There would be nothing to see on that level.
Including Sylvia.
I lightly brushed off the lingering feeling which was as big as a handful of dust. Moreover, they had be one with me.
Level 48 Level 1052
They ended up losing their beautiful bodies because they chose a wrong man, but everyone in hero Siegs elite unit became EXP and joined my inner harem. Also wee to vigorous gentlemen who lost the timing to run away while appreciating the beautiful womens attractive bodies and got swept up. Ill make good use of you all.
Huh! It went up to Level 999+ with a single blow?
A Heros special privilege which was 500% EXP gain was like a scam, but it wasnt to the level of exceeding Level 999 with a single blow. Because if raising level was this easy I wouldnt have spent 10 years for my 1st round. I wouldnt spend more than a year even if I was a neer and knew nothing about the Fantasia Continent.
That was how much this was an extreme rise of EXP.
I already knew what caused it. My new species, natural human. It seemed as if it absorbed EXP of the eliminated opponents very effectively. As a bonus, I got to visibly see a level that exceeded 999 level, which I had never seen before.
My wish which meant that I got to interfere with Fantasias EXP system, as part of my desire that I expressed through multiple-choice answers, got reflected.
Just like this.
? Species: Natural Human
? Level: 1052
? Job: Hero (EXP 500%)
? Skill: Prodigy ZZ Spirits MAX Blessed MAX Fabrication MAX Hope SSS
? Status: Holy Sword, Saintess
In the meantime I was checking the change in my EXP, the invading army made up of humans started to retreat quickly. It seemed as if they sincerely wanted to surrender while shuddering at my overwhelming power, but the enraged spirits didnt let them off.
Humans politics didnt work on spirits.
Run away! Euak~
Retreat! Retreat! Aargh?!
Huk! Withdraw!
Hihihi! Kill them! Kill them!
Spirits of fire burnt the soldiers, spirits of water and spirits ofnd dug a river and a pit behind the fleeing soldiers to block their retreat route. Spirits of wind made the me and waves even more rough, and they pushed the soldiers who tried to avoid the pit trap with strong wind and dropped them.
The troops retreated like that and an empty spot was left.
A man had fallen over.
? Species: Arc Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Hero (EXP 500%)
? Skill: Stamina Z Madness SS Patience SS Endurance S Troubles with Women S
? Status: Serious injury, Bleeding, Fracture, Anger, Confusion
It seemed like I still couldnt see others EXP higher than Level 999.
Cough cough! I lost again? This is ridiculous! Im a HERO whos defeated three of the 5 Disasters! I also have transcendental Z skills like you what the FUCK?! ZZ grade?! This cant happen! This is a scam! Cough cough! Sieg who had be messy screamed while coughing up blood.
Oh! Sieg. You were alive? Quite good.
It seemed like during the 5 years of my sleep, Sieg didnt really waste his time too. As the First Spirit had exined roughly and Sieg imed while coughing up blood, he had many adventures on the three continents.
The evidence and at the same time a result was Spirit Z. Hero Sieg also made transcendental skill.
hmm? It wasnt Spirit?
It was Stamina.
The power of real men!
I couldnt even get the hang of what Z grade effect of skill Stamina was, but I was at least sure that Sieg didnt die from my attack thanks to that effect. Since the other skills were not so good.
Then, Sieg, whose eyes were red, stood up while staggering.
Im Stamina King Sieg! I never show this weak sight of me to women!
Hee~ is it that kind of effect.
But those women had already
Flop
Stamina King Sieg fell back down while showing a weak side of him.
Chapter 107 [9th Round] What Happens If The Main Character Dies?
Chapter 107 [9th Round] What Happens If The Main Character Dies?
Mr Hero. Shall we bury Sieg like this? The First Spirit asked me with a smile on her face .
Sieg wasnt dead yet. But it wouldnt have been a problem if I killed him, simr to when alumnus A provoked Ice Princess and ended up being frozen in the past. The world kept going on, just as it was before.
Hero and the Demon King.
To check if the world of Fantasia would keep on going even though this structure was broken, even Hero Kang Han Soo should disappear neatly. It was also hard to check in the past. Whether the world where Im dead keeps existing or gets destroyed, whats the point?
But now?
There was a way to check without dying.
I activated ckbox.
Hero Demon King (Hero level)
Ever since the time I became the Demon King on earth, it was set so that my job changed from Hero to Demon King if I turned on ckbox. And it changed back to Hero if I turned off ckbox. This way I could experiment without having to die.
Except,
Pajijijijik-!
Divinity Z and Demonic Energy Z, the two transcendental skills couldnt help but collide. Friction happened as I was no longer the species Chaos Human, which helped me master all elements. My body would be damaged if I allowed this to go on.
Then I have to take action.
I received natures protection as a species characteristic. So I could use thew of nature as much as I wanted.
Divinity and Demonic Energy.
After thinking that I was condensing the two conflicting powers like a pair of round balls in an imaginary space, I put a central axis, which was me, between them.
The two conflicting powers had tried to tug me towards them, that was why they kept butting heads. But it was different this time as Divinity and Demonic Energy were in equilibrium since they offset each other, just like how stars ands in the universe maintained a constant distance with the bnce of centrifugal force and gravity.
But it wasnt enough with just this.
Because by bncing each other it meant that they got weakened by the resulting power neutralization, so I added another variable.
Wasnt it too empty now with only twos around me, acting as the sun?
Elements, assemble!
Land, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart!
They were smaller than the two transcendental powers, but these things yed a role in intervening with the collision of light (Divinity) and darkness (Demonic Energy), like a sponge or spring absorbing the impacts.
This looks kinda cool.
A microcosm was formed in my body. Land, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart, Light, Darkness. The 7 elements were in harmony and bnce.
I didnt know how I would grow or evolve in the future, but it would progress slowly like a real universe if nothing major happened.
Anyways, Ive taken care of the most urgent problem. The real experiment started now.
Lets find out the connection between species and job~
This would be an important guideline for my future activities.
There were 3 hypotheses I thought of after seeing the amount of EXP that I got as I fully absorbed Sylvias EXP and knocked down Siegs elite unit.
Hypothesis 1) 5+95=100
Addition operation.
The hypothesis was that if we assumed themon EXP obtaining rate was 1% of total avable exp, the Heros privilege was getting 5% of the total exp, and the natural human characteristic preserved and absorbed the rest 95% to make up 100% in total.
Then I wouldnt have to stick to being a hero.
On the other side,
Hypothesis 2) 5*20=100
What if it was a multiplication operation?
Heros privilege boosted ordinary EXP to be 5 times higher. This was a calction method where the natural human species characteristic boosted the absorbed exp by 20 times to result in getting 100 times higher exp than a normal job.
If that was the case, I couldnt give up being a hero.
Thest one,
Hypothesis 3) (100 exp out of 100 exp) (5 exp out of 100 exp)=100 exp
A union.
The total amount of EXP the target had couldnt exceed 100%. Therefore, this was a hypothesis that the hero privilege wouldnt be able to have an effect at all because of the natural human species characteristic which absorbed all of the 100%.
If this was the case, then the job Hero was just trash for me. Except when fighting against the Demon King.
I just wish its not a multiplication operation.
There wasnt any big difference between 95% in hypothesis 1 and 100% in hypothesis 3. If any of the two hypotheses was right I could boldly throw away Hero.
And there was a way to check this right away.
By receiving EXP.
Sieg! Ill invite you to a great experiment!
Because my level went up, the small amount of exp from low level creatures was unnoticeable.
So I decided to get the friend from my home who was sprawled out on the ground to join me.
Friends should live while helping each other!
Koorghk-?! Ka, Kang Han Soo -!! N-NOO-
The Holy Sword Nucleon slipped out of my hand identally and got coincidentally stuck into Hero Siegs heart.
Sieg stopped breathing with an expression as if a great injustice had been done to him.
So what if you also dont like happy endings?
Its too bad that Sieg died. I was thinking of locking him under the ground and making him pay for ruining nature. I wanted to engrave it on his soul; how humans are nothing in front of the great and magnificent nature. The First Spirit smacked her lips.
The other spirits also nodded as if they were agreeing.
But they didnt me me for killing Sieg peacefully.
Why?
Because I was loved by the spirits.
It would be viciously violent when somebody else hit the spirits, but if I did it, it would be an expression of love.
1052 level 1778 level
Siegs exp had been absorbed by me.
I couldnt measure exactly if I absorbed it fully since he was above 999 level, but it was way over the amount of EXP that I could get as a pure Hero.
I was confident that this was a growth that could never be achieved with five times higher EXP from hypothesis 2. I could be confident about the exp required as I had lived in this world for 8 times so far.
From now on, wouldnt levels be like a numbers y of addition and subtraction for me?
The Hero job became meaningless.
? Tired: its really been a long time! Student Kang Han Soo!
Ooh? Miss Trainee Teacher. Where were you hiding before showing up now?
? Depressed: I had been following Student Sieg, whom my senior handed over to me. I appeased and soothed him well until he somehow seeded in knocking down the 5 Disasters, but all the colleagues that you provided diedhaha
It seemed as if with Sieg died, the ss that the morals teacher passed on was also over.
Tsk. She mustve had a hard time.
? Positive: Dont even mention it! There was nothing but mating in Student Siegs head. He didnt do any trainingsaying hes already powerful, and only flirted with girls then when he was fighting the 5 Disasters, he moved slowly while getting help from his colleagues. I think I had drunk herbal tonics at least 10 times because of the stress.
Miss Trainee Teacher really worked hard.
? Gloomy: Im not exaggerating, I really worked hard. Sorry for saying this, but I worked 100 times more diligently than I did when I assisted you. Pre-surveys and researches are the basic things to do, I also used the trick of getting into his dream as an angel to calm his sex drive a few times. But the result was the exact opposite. So I kept wondering if my interfering had ruined Student Sieg. Am I ineligible to be a teacher? Sobs!
It seemed as if Miss Trainee Teacher had totally lost her confidence.
I thought she was really stupid.
When the morals teacher passed Sieg on Miss Trainee Teacher, the world was already on the verge of getting screwed up.
It was impossible to lead it in the right direction.
It was the other way around, I wanted topliment Miss Trainee Teacher.
Because Sieg, who used to be stuck in the elf kingdom, only interested in mating without going on an adventure even once, knocked down the 5 Disasters while traveling 3 continents when Miss Trainee Teacher was in charge.
Of course, the colleagues sacrifices were great.
So Miss Trainee Teacher. Have some confidence!
? Gratitude: Thank you so much, Student Kang Han Soo. Itforted me a bit. Though I didnte to find you for this
Hmm? Then why did youe?
? Answer: This world, where the Hero who would rival the Demon King has died, will disappear soon. Although youre decently alive like this, it seems like the system doesnt recognize you as a Hero.
No way?
My current job after activating ckbox was Demon King.
And the Hero, Sieg died in my hands.
? Exin: Usually students get a temporary heart attack in the middle of a battle, some pathetic ones sometimes also stop breathing after seeing an absolute beauty. So they give the students a grace period for around 10 seconds to revive. But if the students donte back alive even until then, the system would conclude that theyre dead and it moves on to the re-examination.
Miss Trainee Teacher. Is it okay for you to tell me that?
? Deny: Of course its not. We cant stop students from guessing by themselves, but its important information that faculty members can never tell the students directly. But youre my secret friend. If you didntfort me just a little while ago, I might really have given up my dream to be a teacher.
I see. But Miss Trainee Teacher.
Thank you for telling me while taking the risk, but its toote.
The system was already in the middle of notifying me.
Mr Hero. Did you enjoy your adventure?
? A real heros path is very tough. But there were countless people who were rooting for you, who didnt lose sight of your dreams and hope. You, who couldnt grow together with them while learning about friendship and love, unfortunately couldnt get rid of the vicious Demon King and died valiantly.
? Shall we take a look at your grades?
It seemed like this kind of message popped up if the Hero died in the middle of adventure.
Was Sieg looking at this too?
? Name: Kang Han Soo
? Combat power: S
? Performance: S
? Reputation: S
? Personality: A
? Comment: Why did youe back again?! What do you want!?
I wanted to ask that myself. So send me back to Earth!
? You failed.
I felt dizzy after getting the notification about the result.
Because my grades in the 8th round, in which I lived for 8 years starting from a weak baby in the uncivilized Fantasia dimension, were really good.
Triple S grade!
It was natural since I got praised as the Great Emperor while diligently working for 3 years in the Fantasia North continent as a baby.
I even got A for Personality, which was the subject with the worst subjective biased judgement from Fantasias God.
I cant believe I failed even then!
The reason was only one.
? Reason: You have a sense of honor for others. You deserve to be respected for that, but this world is not rational like that. Well give you, who lost bitterly, one more chance. Grow and be stronger. So please save the world this time!
? The re-examination is starting now.
Fantasias system sorted it all out with S-grade Hero died!
If I killed Sieg when ckbox was in a deactivated state, this kind of error wouldnt have urred because I was also a Hero.
But I was recognized as Demon King because I had ckbox activated.
I only knew one thing.
Hero and Demon King.
The fact that the world would disappear without either of the two.
It could be seen as a great harvest, but the fact that I missed the chance to graduate which had beenid out right in front of my eyes was very painful.
? All the faculty members are desperate for your return.
? Professional teacher will be sent soon
? Professional teacher will be sent soon
? Professional teacher will be sent soon
? Theres no professional teacher to be sent.
The light of return, which indicated a re-examination, started to twirl around my body. This wasnt a problem of resisting or not.
Every existence was disappearing
The world was deletedjust like deleting saved game data. It wasnt a situation that could be solved by stubbornly staying.
Then, the First Spirit said, I came out to the world after a really long time but it copsed right away. Mr Hero. Youll save me again, right?
Why would I?
She wouldnt be able to remember me once I returned.
The First Spirit of the 9th round, which was about to start soon, was just a third party. I also had solved my curiosity about the spirits cloaca.
Every existence in the 8th round would cease to exist soon.
Do you really think so?
What-?
Ill be waiting, Mr Hero.
Auntie! Stop throwing bait and exin right away! Or with my finger Ill-
The light engulfed mepletely.
*
It wasnt on the dimensional traveling magic circle of Fantasia north continents Magic Kingdom, nor was it on a bed in some shabby vige.
It wasnt in a beautiful princess cozy belly too.
It had been a long time since then, but how could I forget? This location, where I first got abducted.
It was the central continents Dumpling Kingdom where I woke up.
Wee, Mr Hero!
Lanuvel, who was said to have blown herself up while hugging the corrupted Saintess A in the Fantasia Western continent, greeted me while acting cute.
A proof that the 9th round had started.
I didnt know where to vent my anger.
Damn this thing
I couldnt believe I tore my train ticket to Earth with my own hands.
In the 8th round, if only I had paid a little more heed to the warning, I wouldve knocked down Demon King Pedonar and graduated with excellent grades.
Why did I assume my 8th round grades would be bad and give up easily?
This was all Siegs fault.
It became like this because that dude pleaded for me to kill him.
? Question: Did Student Sieg really say so?
Miss Trainee Teacher. I heard it clearly!
Hero Sieg, who lost his beautiful cheering squad, said in his mind.
Mr Hero,e back to your senses! It must be very confusing since you got summoned suddenly without notice, right? This ce is Fantasia. Its a different dimension from the world you were born and grew up in. I guess it would be too much to hope that you understood right away. From now on Ill exin in detail-
Give me clothes first. You voyeur bitch.
I covered my lower part by putting my righteous wings around it like a skirt.
I didnt start as a 17 year old boy in uniform because I wasnt summoned normally in the 8th round.
So I was naked.
Should I be relieved that I didnt return as a sperm?
Sorry. Ill prepare them
If you are giving, then at least give me this Kingdom instead of just some clothes.
pardon?
I should receivepensation for my mental damage after having my naked body seen by such things as Lanuvel and the barbarous royal knights.
What if they didnt give me anypensation?

Chapter 108 [9th Round] Like the First Time
Level 1860
At this point I was powerful even without having any skills.
Of course the Elf King, who only had a high level and nothing in the way of defences, died very easily. But a big contributing factor there was his naturally weak elf species.
Elves would die easily if they get stabbed while in their defenseless state, when they arent protecting themselves with various abilities like magic or inner qi.
But I was different.
Natural human.
I looked just like an ordinary human being from the outside, but I was about 3 times heavier than humans with simr builds as mine.
It was because the density of the molecr structure which made up my body was very high and it had a special makeup.
My internal organs and skin were tough, my bones had a little sticity and were hard like metal.
Regeneration and immunity to many things, on top of that.
The hero who was summoned to save the human race, plotting treason?!
Hero? Is this really a Hero?!
Miss Lanuvel! What did you summon!
The royal pce knights who were quietly listening while surrounding me and Lanuvel eximed while stealthily pulling out the swords that were strapped to their waists.
It was very ridiculous.
? Peek: Kang Han Soo Student. Im looking forward to working with you again this time. After being in charge of Student Sieg for 5 years, I realized what an excellent hero you are! But it doesnt mean that youd kill these ignorant knights, right? I think its going too far to ask for the country instead of a set of clothes.
Miss Trainee Teacher didnt know anything.
There was even a leader on Earth popr for his fantastic diplomacy skills, where he exchanged a corn for a diamond.
Mahatma Gandhi
If you didnt exchange it, nuclear missiles were going to fly into your country instead of corns.
(Note: reference to the Sid Meiers Civilization games)
He was more famous than any celebrities if you tried to look him up on the inte.
? Shocked: What a horrible leader I think its fascinating how Earth has been fine so far. Student Kang Han Soo, it doesnt mean that youre going to follow his example, right?
Of course.
Because the grade for Personality is important in the final marks.
So I activated ckbox.

My skills grew freely during the 5 years I slept.
The most remarkable change was the five B-grade production system skills.
Farming B Fishing B Collection B Mining B Breeding B
I didnt do anything, it seemed like my proficiency improved because the 5 elements spirits were following me.
It was my first time getting production system skills so I wanted to look at them more in detail, but too bad I didnt have much time.
The time given to me was less than 10 seconds.
I had to make the most of the skills I had before it ended.
Get on your knees.
That sentence implied several meanings.
Demonic Energy Z promoted me to a Noble of royal blood, and Divinity Z created a halo around me that seemed to say I was Sacred.
Fabrication MAX covered me one more time as the absolute superior, and Blessing MAX finished it like a performance by lighting up my halo and gave blessings to ignorant people while enhancing them.
Earthlings might resist.
But the number of Fantasia natives who could withstand this overwhelming pressure from my transcendental skills and levels were countable on one hand.
Ooh!
Aah!
nk, thud!
The royal pce knights released the long swords from their hands without hesitation and sank to their knees with their heads down.
Tears of joy were falling from their eyes after they witnessed the Sacred Demon King, who ruled over light and darkness.
It was iparable to such things as the usual devotion.
6 seconds, 7 seconds, 8 seconds-
I ended ckbox before 10 seconds passed.
And nothing happened.
The system misinterpreted it as the summoned hero getting a temporary heart attack and didnt activate the Fantasia reset.
All ording to n.
I didnt know this feature in the 8th round so I had to retake the test like this, but it was different that I knew about it now.
I just had to avoid it cleverly.
? Amazed: What a surprising trick!
Miss Trainee Teacher, you think so too, right?
But I couldnt repeatedly activate and deactivate ckbox all day. There were several reasons.
? Question: What is it?
First of all, it was annoying and troublesome.
It wouldve been nice if there was an automatic repeating system like macro for games, but it was impossible since ckbox needed a fair amount of concentration.
With the same reason, the mental strength it consumed to turn ckbox on and off was quite a lot. I couldnt live while counting upto 9 all the time.
If I forgot and counted to 10, wouldnt the world vanish?
That would be taking the joke too far.
Second, the sense of deprivation and dejection was too much.
I couldnt get used to the lethargy that overcame me everytime my transcendental skills got sealed with ckbox, at all.
Imagine repeatedly giving and taking.
Dont obedient pets also get angry and bite their owners hands if the owner ys with their food?
I hated to live while getting stress every 9 seconds.
Third, it didnt help my growth.
As you could know from the species that I changed into, Natural human, my final goal was to perfectly be independent from Fantasias stats.
I couldnt deny the usability and convenience of skills, but I refused to be the child-kidnapping Fantasia Gods ything.
To do that, I had to build the habit of not being dependent on Fantasias stats.
Didnt I live well on Earth even without skills and levels?

But still, I took measures so I could summon my lightsaber and Hippolia anytime just in case of an emergency.
The reason I ruled out the Holy Sword Nucleon?
Its performance was excessively outstanding to the point it wasnt helpful for my training, but it was also because I found a new possibility for the lightsaber.
Lightsabers have no de.
Instead, it creates a de of light, as one would have guessed, by injecting the systems power as a resource.
Just like this,
Level 1860 Level 1859
Wooong-
I injected EXP into the lightsaber I summoned.
It was only 1 level, but the amount of EXP needed to go from 1859 to 1860 was massive.
It was an amount that couldnt be casually ignored.
I abruptly swung the luminescent lightsaber.
Chwaak-!
And the lightsaber cut through the Lanuvel who was still not kneeling, severing her cleanly in two vertically from her left shoulder to her heart. There was no sign of her blocking it with transcendental spatial powers in the midst of it.
The level 200 mage died without any resistance.
Too ordinarily.
is this not it?
The one and only Lanuvel who had the power to summon heroes.
It might seem like it was nothing big, but she was a wizard who could do dimensional shifts something that even I couldnt do yet. Even renown wizards and mages with excellent abilities expressed their ipetence when it came to dimensional shift magic.
It was also the same reason why I didnt look for the way to do dimensional shifts and only focused on graduating since the 2nd round.
Because in the 1st round I had looked hard for any way to go back besides as a reward I got for killing Demon King Pedonar.
But all of it failed.
They were all frauds that deceived me into thinking that long-distance teleportation was dimensional shift.
Hmm. Am I being too sensitive
Only Lanuvel knew the real way to go back to Earth.
She didnt know reverse dimensional shift wizardry, but she received an oracle from Fantasias God and tricked me while saying Mr Hero! You can go back to your hometown if you knock down the Demon King!
In the 1st round Iid my hope on what she said.
For real.
? Positive: Heroes who like Fantasias world would knock down the Demon King voluntarily, but there are people like you once in a while, who want to go back to their hometown instead of killing the Demon King. They only looked for ways to do the dimensional shift back home instead of getting a passing grade. Thats why the only way to do it is told early through the oracle.
Like Miss Trainee Teachers exnation, what Lanuvel taught me was the only way.
So she was the most suspicious.
As Lanuvel was always there every time I returned.
It could be seen as something natural since she was the one who summoned the heroes, but in a vige on the northern continent she appeared as my humble sister.
On the other side, the other colleagues settings had never changed.
Only Lanuvel was special in many ways.
So I thought she was something transcendent.
Was she a despicable grave robber who only knows how to act cute?
? Disapproval: you really have no mercy even for beauties, Student Kang Han Soo. Student Sieg was able to go on the adventure until the end without giving up, sustaining himself from the joy of watching his colleagues wiggling butts.
It seems like Miss Trainee Teacher went on the adventure instead of Sieg!
I expected Lanuvel to block my surprise attack, stop acting cute while saying Oh no! Has this act of mine as little, cute, friendly Miss Lanuvel been seen through? and changing her way of talking into an old mans.
But she died in vain.
It seemed like my prediction wasnt spot on.
As a result, a blood drenched Lanuvel was lying on the ground.
Huk!
Oh my
Oh no!
The royal pce knights who saw the scene while lying on their stomachs were terrified and fell into chaos. It seemed as if it was the first time they had seen such a hero.
? In a difficult position: Of course theres no way theyve seen such a hero! Even if you look at the records all this time, youre the first hero who killed a cute colleague from the beginning.
Dont worry, Miss Trainee Teacher.
Everything has a solution.
Hippolia.
p-p-p.
Saintess Hippolia, who responded to my call without even a 0.1 second dy, appeared while spreading her 3 pairs of wings gracefully.
Bold from the start, Master. Huhu.
Well My hand slipped.
Ive had several chances to check after killing Lanuvel.
But up until now there had been some kind of weird psychological interference that was like Dont kill your colleagues!. But I had been free from such mental restraint and pressure since I now had be the species Natural Human.
In all due respect, it might have just been me
Ill bring Lanuvel back to life.
Okay.
I didnt absorb Lanuvels EXP just in case things like this happened.
Phat!
Hippolias hands glowed with a holy light and activated a skill. It was Resurrect, the skill unique to the Saintess job.
The holy light seeped into Lanuvels wounds.
She was horribly split by my lightsaber from her shoulder to her heart. In the process not only her skin, but her corbone, spine, lungs and so on were also damaged while her heart disappeared totally.
But the Saintess power didnt just heal dead peoples wounds, but also fill up their missing body and even organs, just like white cement on a crack.
As long as they had enough levels to pay for the Resurrection.
? Species: Human
? Level: 134

Lanuvel came back to life quickly.
My attack was too strong, so even though I didnt absorb any EXP from her, she needed to drop from level 200 to 134 to pay the doctors bills.
The resurrected Lanuvel red at me fiercely.
Finally shes showing her true colors!
Youre being too much just because I didnt get on my knees, Mr Hero! Lanuvel didnt have enough time to think and process what you wanted Lanuvel to do! Ah! Right! Beautiful Miss Saintess! Thank you so much for saving me! Im Lanuvel, an archaeologist who traces the legend of a hero! Lanuvel means truth in the ancientnguage! Please look after me.
whatever happened to true colors.
Lanuvel was just Lanuvel.
Go.
Yes, Master.
I deactivated Hippolias summon, already feeling tired from interacting with Lanuvel.
Then Lanuvel made a fuss again.
Mr Hero! Mr Hero! How in the world did you do that?! Is that Miss Saintess a spirit? How did you make a contract and summon her? Ah! Is she, by any chance, a Golem?! Thats also awesome! She was like a living angel! Are all people from your homnd just as amazing as you are Mr Hero?
Shut up.
But Mr Hero, Lanuvel is really really curi- ouch?!
Shut up while Im still hitting you nicely.
One of the quick-witted royal knights ordered a nearby maid to bring clothes for me to wear
It was casual clothes that I could wear easily and quickly.
They avoided noble clothes that were too hard to wear by oneself. It was a decision that was considerate of heroes who didnt know Fantasias culture.
But,
Give me the most extravagant noble clothes.
Pardon?
Dont make me say it twice.
However, it was not a problem for this Mr Hero who had 25 years of rich experience with Fantasias culture. I could wear every type of attire on the continent with my eyes closed.
I was 8 years old, but I had 25 years of experience.
If I talked about the sad story of how it ended up like that, it could be released into 10 fantasy novels.
*
I met King Dumpling wearing fancy clothesparable to the royals.
The throne room fell into chaos at the dignity I carried myself with, looking more like a ruler than the king who was sitting on his throne while half-asleep.
I was born to inherit the Emperor title of the Northern Continent.
I rose to earn the Emperor title all by myself while conquering countries one after another ever since I was born.
I wasnt on the same level as the silver spoon King Dumpling who got handed the throne to him after the previous king died.
I took a simr flow of story as the 2nd round.
But this time I was different from the 2nd round in which I had the nerve to go ahead and say Im the only hero! Kill me if you can!
I naturally got a head start even though I stayed still.
The result was,
nk!
Just like in the 2nd round, I received a plump sack full of money.
Mr Hero! Where are you going?
Lanuvel acted cute and asked while following me. She didnt change a bit even though she just got murdered by me a little while ago.
It was a cheerful and innocent-acting spirit just like Lanuvel, who shamelessly guided a Hero into a trap dungeon and killed him.
I answered with a smile.
The ck market.
Even though it was the same situation, someone with 10 years experience and someone with 25 years of experience would naturally have different ways of dealing with things. I was so immature back thenpared to I was now.
So I decided to correct my mistakes in the 2nd round.
In other words, reviewing.
Chapter 109: The Kind and Considerate Mr Hero
Chapter 109: The Kind and Considerate Mr Hero
[9th Round] The Kind and Cosiderate Mr Hero
In the 2nd round, I headed to the market area of the Dumpling Kingdoms capital with my bag of money as soon as I got out of the pces throne room. I met bartender Tony in an old bar there and got a ticket to the ck market.
But this time I didnt need to do that at all.
Because I already knew the location where the ck market was going to open.
Mr. Hero. This is a forest though?
Lanuvel who was naturally following me like a skilled stalker, tilted her head and asked.
Lanuvel, why are you following me?
Because Lanuvel is Mr Heros colleague!
I knew that answer because I had heard it for the past 25 years until I got sick of it. But I had another reason why I still asked in a little bored manner.
You might get murdered by me again though?
In this 9th round, I purposefully killed Lanuvel for the first time. Of course Saintess Hter revived her.
But Lanuvel wasnt the first colleague to die by my hands.
I killed my colleagues in an ambush at the end of the 1st round.
In the 2nd round I also killed Elf Princess Sylvia, who wasing at me, and Sword King Alex also died because it was a training akin to an actual battle.
In the 3rd round, I also broke Mermaid Princess Aquas neck to quickly collect some of that sweet sweet EXP
I killed a lot of people,e to think of it. Oh well.
Anyways, it was the first time for Lanuvel.
Though she deserved to die 100 times when she kidnapped me, she was murdered for no reason from her point of view. And yet she was still following me nonchntly like this.
Lanuvel answered.
Lanuvel understands why Mr Hero attacked Lanuvel.
what?
Its normal to be on guard when the environment around you suddenly changes. Lanuvel thinks Lanuvel was hasty. ording to the old texts and guidelines from the temples, heroes who just got summoned are weak. But Mr Hero is really strong. May I say its like releasing a dragon in a henhouse? And of course your hands could move before you think because youre shy if an attractive woman like me peeks at your naked body up close!
Lanuvel who was seriously exining logically started to act high and mighty.
Are you stupid? I dont kill people just because Im shy umm
I was trying to refute but mumbled the end of my words.
Gumhee in the 1st round was like that, even though she couldnt use her sword in the 8th round because I was a cute baby under 3 years old.
So Mr Hero. Why did youe to the forest?
To take a walk.
I didnt stop Lanuvel from following me, but I didnt feel the need or obligation to exin things to her.
The fact that I had returned to the past was surely a secret.
I had no thought of getting benefits by monopolizing information of the future.
I didnt want to be asked the question Why did you return?, which woulde naturally if my return became known.
Returning wasnt something to be proud of.
Because only losers who failed and dropouts would return. Just like retaking a quiz after getting low grades in it.
Returning was a humiliation to be ashamed of.
It was totally not something to be happy about while saying, Hehe! Lets live well after cleaning my stupid past! like a main character in some fantasy novel.
So I had to keep it strictly a secret.
I know a better ce to take a walk. Theres also a new colleague Id like to introduce to you.
A new colleague, she should be talking about the Sword King Alex.
No thanks.
There was an interesting fact here.
The orientation that Grandmaster Alex hosted was supposed to be 5 dayster, but it naturally got postponed as my capability became known through word of mouth.
For 30 days.
It was because the bnce of power was broken.
Just like what Lanuvel said, I was an S-grade Hero with a really strong power so I couldnt be under control with uncivilized brute force.
It would be okay if we had be acquainted.
There was also a way, which was helping a weak hero grow and making them owe the kingdom.
But that n failed before they even tried to start it, and from the Dumpling Kingdoms perspective it was like the lion (the Demon King) was scared and dragged the tiger (hero) into this.
The kingdom also needed time to n their own fallback.
Whoa! Mr Hero! Look! Theyre spirits!
Then, Lanuvel repeatedly let out exmations while looking around me.
Was it because of the forest, which was outside the dirty city?
Spirit F Spirit E Spirit D
The spirits, who smelled my natural human smell even though I didnt activate ckbox, started to gather around.
My skill proficiency also started to drastically rise.
But still, this was too fast.
Aah, are they stationed around here?
The fact that the spirits were huddled around like this was a supporting evidence that elementalists and sorcerers were forming a group around here
I grinned.
Because there would have been only one reason numerous elementalists and sorcerers assembled in this forest at this period of time.
The violent elves!
Sylvia and her followers must have gathered to raid the ck market, which was hidden underneath the forest at the west side of the capital.
With the poor spirits who got enved.
But the elves evil n became difficult to execute with my appearance. Because the spirits who should be digging tunnels to the ck market clung to me.
Spirits D Spirits C Spirits B
The elves would fall into chaos the higher my skill grade went up.
Just like Sylvia in the 8th round was.
Who are you?!
I cant believe you stole our spirits!
A human attacked first?!
What did you do!
The elves, who tracked down the spirits that got lured by my smell, threatened me while pulling their bow strings on top of trees in every direction.
It was such a violent-elves-like attitude.
But I didnt give in to these fantasy-creature barbarians armed protest. Because justice always wins even without using violence.
Spirits B Spirits A Spirits S
The spirits migration elerated more as the elves approached. My skill grade, which was going up rapidly, was the result.
Spirits~! Come back~!
You cant follow a dirty human~!
Why arent they listening?!
The elf sorcerers and elementalists were already deep in panic. The ones who were threatening me were the archers and swordsmen, who were the only ones still thinking properly.
But they were also confused, since they also possessed a little bit of proficiency in the Spirits skill.
How could this happen?!
Elf Princess Sylvia was no exception. I think she would have been the most shocked since she lost the most number of spirits.
She waspletely breaking down.
She had an expression like a female students, who ate ramyeon that was high in natrium and carbohydrate before sleeping, then got serious after gaining 1kg of weight even after pooping the next morning. (PR: ramyeon is korean ramen)
? Goosebumps: The example is too scary!
It seemed as if Miss Trainee Teacher also had experienced the horror of ramyeon~
? Firm: No. I havent.
Miss Trainee Teacher. A strong denial is a strong affirmation.
Elves. Ill only introduce myself once so please clean your pointy ears and listen well. Im innocent Noble A. This woman who acts cute while hitting on me is obscene Saintess A. We live in the capital and came to this forest to take a walk aimlessly. Now its our turn to ask. Why did violent elvese to thisnd of humans? You guys are acting very suspicious.
This is the vocabry of Mr Hero with a grand career spanning 25 years!
I already knew that the elves goal was to rescue the elf who was imprisoned under this ground, but then the conversation wouldnt continue.
So I acted as if I didnt know.
But I didnt lie even a bit.
It was a fact that Lanuvel was obscene, and even the Heavens knew that I was an innocent Mr Hero of noble bearing and grand stature.
It was also correct that we took a walk in the vicinity of the ck market.
How is it? Miss Trainee Teacher.
? Difficult: isnt it a problem that youre being too honest?
its a problem because Im honest?
Sylvia, whose face turned dark after losing spirits that used to follow her like her tools, shouted while pointing at me.
That human noble whos going to the ck market must have used some evil trick! Lets beat down that human and get our spirits back!
Yes! Princess!
Human! Give me my spirits back!
The elves who got incited by Sylvia tried to attack me.
Then, Lanuvel stepped forward with her two arms open in a position which seemed to say Please! There has been a misunderstanding!
No! Its a misunderstanding! Were not bad people of darkpany! Sorry that we hid our identities. Im archeologist Lanuvel. And this person is Mr Hero who has been summoned from another dimension. The spirits only followed because they like Mr Hero. We didnt do any weird trick at all!
Stupid. Why did you say that?
The fact that I was a hero was a secret.
The Demon King must have heard since it was let known through an oracle, but the exact location where the hero was summoned and personal information were not revealed at all.
The reason I hid my identity as the hero?
It was because of the threat posed by Demon King Pedonar.
There was a possibility of the hero being murdered even before growing.
I knew through experience that the gentlemanly Demon King didnt use dirty methods like murder, but the Fantasia natives who didnt have previous dealings with the Demon King didnt know.
Even then Lanuvel exposed it as she pleased.
Not only Lanuvel.
All hero colleagues were always like this.
They caused a crisis without considering my opinions and situations.
If the Demon King Pedonar wasnt of a gentlemanly character, a Level 999 devil assassin would have visited the Dumpling Kingdom within a few days.
I was strong enough now so it would be fine, but amon Level 1 hero who was busy getting beaten by Alex couldnt block that. Because there was also a limit to the power of love and friendship.
That was the reason my 1st round was like hell.
? Question: Why?
Miss Trainee Teacher. Think about it.
Now I know that the Demon King is a gentleman, but in the 1st round I knew nothing.
Then, my location was known to the devils.
For an average everyday Earthling, would it be simr to imagine this like your resident registration number, credit card, passwords and so on were all leaked?
In the 1st round I was shaking in horror of assassination every night.
I used to check if there was any poison in my food before my Tolerance skill went up to A-grade.
It was also the same when I got near people.
I checked their stats carefully if they had any murder skill that could prate my Defense System skill, and I would stay away if there was any possibility.
I think bartender Tony was the only exception?
If he, who recognized my anxious mental condition immediately, didnt help me, I wouldve already been swallowed up by fear and gone crazy.
That human is a hero?
Why is a hero our spirits
Dont believe her! Theres not even any evidence that hes a hero!
The elves got noisy hearing what Lanuvel said.
Elf Princess Sylvia said as a representative,
If youre really a hero and didnt use any evil trick, give us our friends back.
That logic wasnt even funny.
Were these elves thinking that hero was the Giving Tree? She was talking as if I needed to give what I had because I was a hero.
Spirits S Spirits SS
The spirits clung on me more like whining kids.
Nheless, Spirits was counted as abat skill. My Spirits skill level would drop if I give them back.
In other words, it was as if these elves were interrupting the hero from getting stronger.
The category I hated the most.
Listen carefully. The spirits are following me because they like me. If you guys are really the spirits friends then either coax them or ask them and take them yourselves.
As expected! It must be a trick! Attack!
At this point I realized.
That a peaceful conversation wasnt needed for violent elves.
*
Just because it was a ck market that was hidden under the ground, it didnt mean that there was no entrance that was connected to the ground at all.
Dimensional shift magic wasnt free, so no matter how important security was, moving products with expensive dimensional shift magic circle was unsuitable for profitability.
Huk! How did you get in here?!
Who are you! Reveal your identity!
Of course it was also strictly guarded.
Some deep ce in the forest.
Level 200 ranged elite mercenaries were guarding the front of the cave going down to the ck market that was hosted by the darkpany.
I answered with a gentle tone of voice.
Excuse me. I want to sell elves.
In the past I wouldve killed all the violent elves to keep the fact that I was the Hero from being known outside.
But me in the 9th round, who moved while having graduation in mind, was generous.

I only took their EXP instead of their lives.
It was a little too bad that I couldnt give them the honor to be together in this Heros heart forever, I didnt have bigints since I got the EXP.
Natural humans were really great.
They were optimized to show mercy for Fantasias barbarians.
Euuh
Euuk
The elves who were violent became well-behaved.
It was an effect of the elves, who were born weak, being ridiculously weakened as they fell to 1-level. They were like straw scarecrows.
There was no problem pulling the elves, after tying them up like dried corvinas with vines I roughly found in the forest, all the way until the ck market entrance.
Except one person.
Mr Hero. Lanuvel is still against this even now.
Lanuvel annoyingly babbled beside me.
She had be more well-behaved after I threatened to take off her clothes and sell her with the elves as a buy one get one free offer if she kept talking.
Wee, Sir! Did you say youre selling elves?
A ck markets official who received a report from the mercenaries came out of the cave.
He looked shocked after seeing the dozens of arrested elves luxuriousbat uniforms and good health condition.
Excuse me, but may I take a look first?
As much as youd like to.
The ck market official had a magic tool that helped him guess others level.
Magic sses.
They worked on the principle of seeing the EXP density in their body.
If we used that ss with an old-fashioned design, the power in the body would be marked as green like an infrared telescope.
The higher the level was, the thicker the green would be.
The ck market official who finished checking while looking around the elves said,
Excuse me, Sir, But I dont think I can buy the elves at a good price since their levels are too low. But if you still want to sell them Huk?!
He was looking back at me with a reluctant tone and gasped.
Jjeo-jeok!
The magic sses cracked dramatically.
Hmm. It seems like the value also goes down if the elves levels are too low. Is it because the viability dropped? I dont like it
Did I scrape the EXP too much?
N, no! Sir! The elves levels might be a bit low, but the female elves faces are good-looking and the mens builds are good for elves! Ill buy them all at the best price! So please calm down your anger! Youre a great being!
is that so?
I released my displeased expression and smiled brightly.

Chapter 110 [9th Round] Hidden-route
? Baffled: Like the proverb one shouldntmit an easily avoidable mistake, its clear what you should do. Student Kang Han Soo, wouldnt the problem get biggerter if you sell elves as ves? Human trafficking would affect your Personality credits no matter how I look at it
Then shall I kill them?
Elf corpses are used as good magic ingredients.
? Freaked out: Absolutely not! Come to think of it, its a good punishment! I think youre generous enough by not killing the elves who had attacked the innocent and kind Mr Hero. It should give you bonus points in Personality!
Is that so? Then it must be, if Miss Trainee Teacher says so!
? Anxious: Dont believe in me too much
I decided to attend the auction since Ivee all the way here.
Its okay, right?
The ck market, that considered security as important because of some people who are absorbed in ying the role of heroes, had strict standards to pick their guests.
But there are exceptions everywhere.
Of course! Youre a great being! You came at a perfect time. The auction is starting soon! Ill take you to the special seats!
The ck market official dly agreed to my request.
Was he being flexible because I sold him a bunch of elves?
Even though my schedule was almost ruined because the violent elves started attacking me, I was relieved it didnt stray too far from how the 2nd round unfolded.
In fact, it was even better than the 2nd round.
I didnt kill Sylvia and her group and handled it peacefully, like a true Hero!
Now, it would be perfect if I got bourer at the auction.
Mr Hero. Lanuvel doesnt like this. I cant believe the chosen Hero gets involved in human trafficking you must be the first one in history.
Lanuvel pouted as if she was still dissatisfied.
Dont get in the way and get lost if you dont like it.
I hate getting lost even more!
We went underground to where the ck market would open.
*
The auction wasnt much different from how it was in the 2nd round.
I did sell Sylvia and a bunch of other elves, but they didnt get disyed immediately.
They were marking them as ves and preparing all rted documents.
The ck market needed to go through several procedures to make the elves look like legal ves, and it also needed a bit of the ves cooperation.
It was to kill their hopes and dreams by telling them a realistic cruel storythat trying to resist would only put them at a disadvantage- and turn them into obedient ves as soon as possible.
From living beings into products.
Just binding them with shackles and handcuffs didnt make them ves.
All the ves disyed here had undergone this special training to an extent.
Of course, not all of them were sessful.
I was active as a mercenary at the north part of the kingdom. I look like this because Ive been refusing to eat for a long time, but I have outstanding spearmanship! I would be able to use it splendidly as soon as I get well!
If they refused to be a ve until the end like this young man did, the auction house also wouldnt have any choice but to give up trying and sell them quickly, as their value would drop once they became corpses.
The auctioneer introduced bourer exactly like how he did in the 2nd round, without any difference.
Of course the stats were also the same.
? Species: Human
? Level: 286
? Job: Mercenary(Wealth Survival)
? Skill: Spearmanship C Tenacity D Survival D Camping E Cooking E
? Status: Empty stomach, Weak
He had extremely poor skills to be my colleague.
But his mental condition was qualified. That was enough. Because I could raise his stats as much as I wanted.
Ding dong!
I made a bid without hesitation.
And I could win the bid at a very low price.
Three, two, one congrattions! Sir with a golden mask. You bought a good product at a very low price!
ps ps ps!
The auctioneer and participants gave me apuse.
As if they were congratting me after adopting a cute pet, they gave me words of blessing to use the ve I bought well until I got my moneys worth, and a blessing ritual.
Right next to me, Lanuvel was staring at me.
What?
I realized the reason Mr Hero treats Lanuvel coldly.
Say it.
I was really curious.
You like tough-looking men more than cute beaut- ouch?!
If weird rumors are going around about me, Ill take it as your fault and punish you ordingly. Lanuvel. Do you understand?
Auu
Lanuvel nodded while holding onto her head, which I flicked spitefully, with both of her hands.
Sir. Here is the key and contract.
The guards dragged the handcuffed and shackledbourer here.
I paid immediately and said,
Put it on the table. And Id like you to bring proper food for this ve to eat. I dont need a lot. Just enough to give him strength to walk on his feet.
One of the guards who received my instruction nodded and left.
Thebourer said,
Im not a ve.
But you have a childhood friend you love one-sidedly in your hometown and colleagues you want to take revenge on. Right?
Ill give you two options when the auction is over. Either you believe me ande with me, or leave free. There wont be retaliation following your choice. If you ask me why Im being nice to you, I just like you~
Lanuvels eyes changed meaningfully again, but I decided to punish her slowlyter.
really?
Think objectively. Whats the point of spending my money on an unattractive dude like youinstead of beautiful vediesand lying? Are you an emperors love child? Youre not. Youre just a stupid mercenary who got betrayed after believing your colleague. Think about it while you eat until the auction is over.
Theborer who got persuaded by what I said stopped his hunger strike and started to eat the simple dishes on the table.
? Content: I was a little worried when Student Kang Han Soo beat up the elves and reached out to human traffickers. But seeing the sight of you doing a good deed like this, it seems like it was an unnecessary worry.
If Miss Trainee Teacher said so then it was!
Excuse me, Mr Hero.
Lanuvel pulled my sleeve with her fingertips and acted cute.
why?
I was about to hit the despicable Lanuvels lower jaw like an automatic reflex but seeded in stopping my fist.
I had a very good self-control even without the skill.
Patience F Patience E
Clear headed F Clear headed E
But still I wouldnt refuse if I was given the skills.
Is this person a new colleague?
Id say so.
I was nning to start with a uselessbourer first like the 2nd round. Then the final branch of my technology tree of growth would be the king of the Dumpling Kingdom.
I realized a lot of things in the 8th round that started in a beautiful princess belly.
The world of Fantasia.
This world would disappear if the Hero or Demon King left.
But I also got to know the fact that the Fantasia natives who lived fiercely in this hollow world were real people.
I could do it roughly like a virtual reality game since this world was going to disappear.
But my thoughts were a little different.
? Question: So what do you think, Student Kang Han Soo?
Miss Trainee Teacher. Thats a good question!
We raise pets in our house.
The most beloved animals are dogs and cats, we cherish and love dogs and cats who cant live more than 10 years on average, 20 years at the longest.
The Fantasia continent is also simr.
This world would disappear in 10 years if you dont do anything like Hero Sieg. And its hard to get past 20 years no matter how well you oil it.
The lifespan of this world is simr to a pets.
Thats how I feel.
? Amazed: Im amazed at Student Kang Han Soos thoughts thatpare entire dimensions to pets!
Huhu! Youve gotten better at ttery since thest time we met.
? Gloomy: Of course. I studied hard to coax and appease Student Sieg, whose reason and purpose of living in the world was mating, into doing things heroes should do.
Your perception of Sieg got worse the more you heard about him.
The ve auction continued even during my conversation with Miss Trainee Teacher.
Lanuvel was hooked on the words new colleague and she increased her intimacy quickly while acting cute to theborer.
Theborers face was red as he was already swayed.
Ill invite you into the chosen Heros adventure!
Someone worthless like me, into Mr Heros party?
New colleagues are always wee!
Beautiful archeologist Miss Lanuvel. Im looking forward to working with you.
Im looking forward to working with you too!
My original goal to find abourer from the ck market was fulfilled. But I still had something to do.
Was it time to finally get started?
The auctioneer pointed at a female elf while introducing her confidently.
Shes an elf picked up in a famous forest in the southernmost part of the continent! As you can see, shes a little out of her mind, but her appearance and bloodline are of the highest quality. The ck market has also confirmed that she is pure, and will give you an excellent 2nd generation. Its a golden opportunity from the Heavens that you simply cant miss!
Ooh!
Oooh!
Aaaaah!
The atmosphere of the auction house, which was slowly cooling down as the guests wallets got thinner, heated up to full intensity.

It was the elf whose job was to escort Elf Kings wife.
She was among the talented ones even by the elves standards, even though they wouldnt be able to go against high- grade devils in droves.
Currently she didnt have any strength because she was cursed.
But she would be useful somehow if I cured her.
Ding dong!
I also jumped into the auction.
Just like it was the 2nd round, the result was already decided.
You won the bid again, Sir with a golden mask! You have a very strong wallet! Is there anyone who wants to challenge this gentleman? Three! Two! One! Congrattions!
ps ps ps!
It became a mess around this time in the 2nd round.
But since I had beat down the ringleader and the violent elves in advance, the auction ended quietly without any attack or disturbance.
Shall we go back now?
Labourer.
Mr Hero. Are you talking about me?
Then is there any otherbourer here? I promised to give you 2 options when we go, but seeing how you keep ncing at Lanuvels ass, its ruined.
M, Mr Hero?! Thats!
Shut up. Youre abourer from today on. Ill give you your first task. Carry this elf on your back and follow me.
I pointed at the archer elf whose hands and legs were tied prettily.
But then theborer said something weird.
Shouldnt Mr Hero be carrying the elf?
why would I?
I was shocked at what he said just now.
Because thebourer in the 2nd round was obedient to repay my kindness, but the 9th roundbourer was quite rebellious.
How could I receive this honor of carrying such a beauty on my back
Ha! Stop talking nonsense.
I snorted, but I liked his mindset. Didnt that mean he gave up to me what he thought to be good?
But his way of thinking needed to be improved.
If a man that would be promoted from a low ve to a great king was this weak for beauties
Thebourer carried the archer elf on his back politely as if he was carrying a queen.
He would surely be loved by his wife in the future.
The next schedule for me and these things?
The vige where the great being, Master Mong lived. (PR Note: Praise be to the great wiggle!)
Then,
Ladies and gentlemen! I will be introducing a surprise product that wasnt on our schedule! Its a stray cat who fearlessly invaded this ce! By our rules we should cut both her hands, put a ve mark on her forehead and present her, but we decided to just sell her as is because we dont want to waste her beauty. Now! Take a look!
The auctioneer introduced a new ve.
I stopped walking away from the ck market and turned around.
Ooh its Hidden-route.
It seemed as if there was a thief hiding in the ck market warehouse who got away amidst the violent rampage of Sylvias group.
But the thiefs n was ruined as the ck market auction progressed smoothly without any attack due to my interference. And as a result, she got captured alive by the ck market mercenaries.
The ck market sold everything that would make money.
Failed thieves were also no exception.
Anyways, it was a hidden story development that even the great and mighty SSS-grade Hero with 25 years of experience didnt know about. I would be lying if I said it wasnt interesting.
Uuph!
The thief who was muzzled so she couldnt talk was dragged in by the ck market mercenaries. There was nothing she could do after having her hands and legs tied up.
She wore a stereotypical ck catsuit like a thief from a movie. It was a design that stuck to her body, revealing her slim figure.
The clothes that were ripped here and there in the process of getting overpowered were strangely suggestive.
If she was aiming for the ck market warehouse then she must know something special, right?
Ooh!
Oooh!
Oooooooooh!!!!
Woooooh!!!
The guests reaction was even hotter than when it was the archer elfs turn.
Our losses were incredible in the process of catching this stray cat. But were sure she was worth it! If you seed in taming this aggressive stray cat, she would be able to steal anything. Of course, your that thing too.
Haha!
Hahaha!
After heating up the auction houses atmosphere with dirty jokes, the auctioneer took off the thief hood that he had ced back on the thiefs head for the showcase, and shouted
Well start todaysst auction!
The thiefs beautiful face, that the ck market guaranteed, was revealed. And her long pointed ears that were as pointy as the elf royal blood Sylvias were, came into view.
Oh my!
Oh! Oh my God!
I need to bid for this!
Take all my money!
The thief, who everyone assumed must be a human for sure after looking at her curved chest, was surprisingly an elf.
Among the admiring guests, I got stars in my eyes.
Because of the thiefs species.

Chapter 111 [9th round] Do you call yourself a warrior?!
I remember seeing the race Chaos Elf. I met a woman, K, when I was lucky to go down to the underground with the energy of the universe at the Dragon Festival. The two races were like the elf bandit in front of me.
? Type: Tribe
? Name: Chaos Elf
? Grade: Ancient
? Ancient 1: Can learn all properties.
? Ancient 2: Life is limitless.
? Characteristic 1: Confusion effect increases.
? Characteristic 2: The destruction effect increases.
? Characteristic 3: The forgetting effect increases.
? Race 1: Vitality is excellent.
? Race 2: Applies the corrected probability.
The race characteristics were superior to an ordinary elf and royalty; the biggest difference was learning all the attributes. I checked my belongings.
Clink.
When I shook my purse, the sound of gold coins was heavy. The profits from buying two ves that were begging like sick chickens at a reasonable price and selling violent elves were significant.
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
The biddingpetition was very fierce. The guests had no idea of the thief elfs value. However, they judged that she was worth the money just because she was a rare elf who owned a charming body like a human being. It wasnt that I didnt understand. Just as a beautiful woman was born and shook the country, a full-busted elf was like a mutant! A nobleman with strong desires was drooling in the background.
I sat back in my seat, then I rang the golden bell on the table.
Ding dong!
Warrior, Didnt you say you were leaving? Lanouvelle heard it clearly.
Lanouvelle. Thats mean, its not like you.
Im a bad thief.
Youre a bad thief, so you dont mind being sold as a ve? I stared into Lanouvelles eyes. This was because I didnt know such a word woulde out of Lanouvelles mouth. When the Elf Princess Sylvia raided the ck market and massacred humans, Lanouvelle insisted on helping the elves. Was a killing elf justifiable? It was contradictory.
Why, why?
I thought you would im that all the elves are nice.
If it were the Lanouvelle whom I knew, she would have defended the elf unconditionally, saying, There must be a reason for them stealing! Or she would try the brazen logic of the warriorspanion that you could steal things from the ck market as they were illegal in the first ce.
She did it in the forest. Sylvia and her followers attacked me first. What was my response back then? I tried to introduce myself kindly to the fierce elves who pointed arrows at me and somehow solved it in a friendly way.
That wasnt all. I even gave them grace by not killing the elves who attacked me. Nevertheless, Lanouvelle was full ofints. On the other hand, did that elf bandit hurt me? I didnt know why she discriminated. Was it?
Warrior! Lanouvelle isnt a fool! I know that elf did something bad! Stealing is a felony in any country except the mercenary kingdoms of the East and the dark empires of the West. A thief caught has their hand cut off or is branded as a ve, depending on the crime.
Lets leave it like that.
For now, the priority was to buy that Chaos Elf.
Ding dong!
The overheated auction showed no sign of ending easily. This was why the nobles were so problematic. When they find a rare collectible, they rushed in without thinking. For a simr reason, the works of poor artists could be recognized after starving to death, just in time to paint their tombs with golds. The thoughts of the nobles bidding with keen eyes were obvious. The driving force behind opening their wallets wasnt the poor desire to rub that rare elfs breasts.
It was to boast at a party. As if to boastvish expensive academy fees, My child entered a certain university, at a meeting of parents or rtives. Oh! Its a secret to my mother that I said this.
She wouldnt forgive me.
? Suggestion: I fully understand why Kang Han-soo is interested in that chaos elf but isnt the winning bid too high? This might make the travel funds tight. Why dont you use that offensive skill and solve it in 9 seconds?
That opinion made sense. Five years with the warrior Zich didnt seem to be as bad for the student-teacher. Unlike an upright ethics teacher who valued the principle of strange standards, she was quite flexible.
?Depressed: Still, it failed, though
Hey, teacher! Cheer up! Find me if youre really having a hard time. Ill buy you drinks and food and be a friend who listens to your stressful story. This S-ss secret friend will help you!
?Appreciation: Thank you for your empty words without sincerity.
Youve improved your wit! I made this sound because I knew clearly that I wouldnt be able to find it because of the closed rules of the secretive faculty members. Words could even buy a universe. By the way
Ding dong!
Ding Dong!
I still hadnt won the elf bandit. Of course, I would eventually be able to buy them. Unlike me, who didnt know it was precious because it was easy money, there was a limit to how much money nobles could spend on entertainment.
Oh, my God!
Thats a shame.
Damn.
As I expected, the nobles gave up one by one, but it was really amazing. That elf bandits ransom was more than three times the cost of winning Sylvia in the first round. That was the price of the most expensivend of the capital of the Kingdom of Dumplings. If a stic surgeon came to the Fantasia continent, he would soon be rich.
Ding dong!
The Golden Mask guest sweeps away all the rare flowers! Is there anyone else who wants to challenge? If we dont have one, Ill count. Three! Two! Onecongrattions! Golden Mask, sir! This beautiful thief cat is now your property! Its teeth are very sharp, so be careful not to get bitten at night!
Congrattions.
Youre very rich.
I cant beat you.
p p p!
I paid the winning bid for the elf bandit as I was congratted by the guests. My purse, bulging like a salmon full of eggs, suddenly shrank to the size of an anchovy. The elf bandit was dragged over despite her violent resistance. An auction house official chimed in.
Golden Mask, sir. If you want, well escort you to the citys residential areas free of charge. Youll be safely moved to the teleport magic square because there may be situations you might not know. Of course, there wont be a problem to a strong person like you, though.
Thanks, but I just want you to bring me a horse carriage.
The elf bandit was just as noticeable as Lanouvelles shaking hips as if to seduce the vigorous men. An official at the auction house nodded with a look like he was reading my thoughts.
Yes, Ill have a carriage waiting at the entrance. Then, sir. Please follow me up here. Ill take you to the main streets of the kingdom capital.
*
Although I entered the ck market through a hidden entrance in the western forest of the Dumpling Kingdom capital, I used teleport magic like the other guests. The spirits who had been chasing me persistently didnt seem to follow me to the city. But if you looked closely, it wasnt like that either. This was because the spirits, which reduced their bodies to the size of human fingers, were clinging to my skin like leeches.
Wait! No matter how much you like me, you cant go there! Im a very sensitive man.
Pleasee again. Golden Mask, sir.
Oh, I will.
I left the house where the teleport magic was hidden, being treated with the utmost hospitality by a ck market executive. At the entrance to the house was the carriage that I had asked for.
Where shall I take you, sir?
To the back of the pce.
I will never be noticed because I traveled in a carriage with a covered interior. Thanks to that, I was able to return to the pce without any collisions. The guards guarding the royal pce were embarrassed by the increased number of people and tried to identify the misceneous things. Still, the thief voluntarily came forward and solved it, being happy because they had a new colleague.
Lanouvelle guarantees!
The misceneous things and I gathered in a luxurious room. It was a bedroom given only to VIPs who wereparable to royalty in other countries, and it was a favorite ce in the third round when I obeyed the queen, a devil worshiper. The greatest advantage was the soundproofing.
No matter how loud the groans and screams were, they didnt leak out, and the interior was very spacious. Me, Lanouvelle, the porter, the elf archer, and the elf bandit. Even though five of us came in, there was a lot of empty space. But not everyone needed to be here.
I instructed Lanouvelle.
Lanouvelle, you take the porter and feed him.
Huh? Warrior, werent we supposed to start nning an adventure of overwhelming dreams and hopes?
Come, you wanna be beaten overwhelmingly?
Ill be back, warrior!
Lanouvelle and the porter walked out quickly. Now, the remaining number was three. It was a ss S warrior and two little elves who were drugged. The two elves, still hands and feet tied, were looking at me with nervous faces. They didnt mean to run away. It was impossible to escape from the pce where 200 level pce knights and 50 level guards were nearby.
However, their expressions were quite the opposite. The elf archer, who was properly educated on the ck market and submitted to the auction house, looked like she had epted reality, but the elf thief, who wasnt even branded as a ve, aggressively stared at me. It was nothing but absurd to me.
Hipria, heal them.
Yes, master.
As soon as the angel with three pairs of wings was summoned, she recovered the various abnormal conditions of the two elves.
Vwooom!
The sacred light enveloped the two elves. The elf bandit had a low level, so she couldnt free herself after the anesthesia was cured, but it wasnt the case for the level 851 elf archer.
Dududuk.
She broke the handcuffs with force built by repeatedly pulling a bow. But the elf archer left the stuff on her ankle untouched. There were no movements to escape.
Youre not running away.
Because the moment I show signs of running away, I know youre going to kill me unterally. Also, Im not a shameless elf enough to leave without repaying the grace for resolving the curse of the devil that was on me.
Not all the elves in the world were as violent as Sylvia. I turned my eyes sideways.
How do you know Boss K?
Boss K?
The ungagged elf bandit frowned and asked back.
Oh! There was not enough exnation. Whats your rtionship with Elvheim, the third elf king who loves breast?
The sorry king is my forefather.
Hey, Banditdy. The fact that you are a royal can be seen by your ears that are longer than average. What I want to know is your race, chaos.
How, how did you?
Because hes a warrior.
A more detailed exnation was omitted.
Warrior? Then, it was you who tricked me?
What do you mean, trick?
I was summoned today. Although I summoned 25 years ago as well, less than a day has passed in this 9th session. Even though Im an S-ss warrior, I didnt have time to trick anyone.
?Negative: Youve caught a demon in a day.
Dont call it a trick to the warrior who brought peace to the world upon his summons!
Isnt it because of you that the stupid princess who was lured by the information I leaked didnt raid the auction house?
What are you trying to steal by using Sylvia?
I asked the question first.
Im the owner.
Im not a ve! Im the true heir of Elvheim, without the dirty, ipetent blood of a traitor.
Thats what you think.
The conversation didnt go well, but that was okay. If I take all her clothes off and hang her at the entrance for one day, anyone would be obedient. I didnt use savage methods like hanging only a head. This wasnt just a threat.
Lets talk calmly tomorrow.
Let me go! Or else youll regret it!
The elf bandit took a backward step like refusing my hand, but it was too much to even take a step with her feet tied.
Crack!
I took off her ck top, revealing her white flesh below.
This is
Tap, tap.
A protective gear that looked like a bra fell off with the clothes.
You barbarian! Do you call yourself a warrior! Sob, sob!
The elf thief, who covered her chest pitifully with her hands tied up, criticized me with tears in her eyes. But I had something to say, too.
Thats what I want to say! Are you a royal family that still lives off of pride? Bra pads?!
Chapter 112
Chapter 112
I will help for a fee! How could I be so inconsiderate? What I missed was that the thief was a purebred elf.
ording to thews of nature, the longer the elves lived, the lower their birth rate and fertility. Therefore, elves didnt have such developed breasts as the women of the human race. Their average life expectancy was about 2,000 years, and during this time, they only had about 2-3 children.
Subsequently, there was a degeneration ofter generations.
That was just my bullsh*t opinion. Only the God of the fantasy world knew why elves had breasts like an LCD monitor.
But Im still big enough!
I admit that her breasts were still slightlyrger than Sylvias. But whats the point of it?
Anyway, lets leave that thing like that forter.
Thing?!
Im much more interested in knowing what you were going to steal from the ck market warehouse. If its just money, then at your level, this is too dangerous of a gamble.
Fools dont run it; they guard their goods properly. Although they are ruthless, they have no equal in terms of security. If your skills and level allowed you to steal something from them, you could seed in everything. Stealing from them wouldnt even be necessary at that level.
This made everything look suspicious. Was a level 137 thief going to sneak through the level 150 guards and traps to steal something from the ck Auction? I wonder what made her take such a step.
I was going to steal the Chaos Artifact.
As if revealing a huge secret, the thief stood with a serious expression. But when she saw my face, cringing, she asked:
Is there something that does not suit you in my answer?
Of course, you damn thief.
The world is full of different artifacts. Angel Artifacts, Ancient Artifacts, Legendary Artifacts, Sacred Artifacts, Demonic Artifacts, Glory Artifacts, Hero Artifacts
Chaos Artifact? Thats enough
Im not a damn thief! Because of betrayal, I cannot lead a royal life, but I am not a petty thief who steals the belongings of others. While I was collecting the artifacts that my ancestor left behind, of course, my specialtyare you even listening to me?
So what is this Artifact?
This is an object that contains the power of chaos. It is a fragment from the power formed when God created the rules andws of the worlThanksnks to this, I mastered the Dark Energy, and with the help of Divinity, which has opposite properties, I was able to resist the submission of the Demon Lord. By the wayhow long will you stare at me without clothes, you vile savage?! Give me some clothes to cover up.
First Hero. It seems that the Chaos Artifact was the name given to the item that contained the Elders power. After all, the unfortunate Elven King was the First Herospanion. Even if he couldnt personally use their skills, he could use the items received from the Hero. If this attribute, called Chaos, was hereditary, she inherited even thicker blood than the royal family that now rules Elfheim.
Although she now lived a miserable existence, like a bad thief.
Ignorant Hero! Are you even listening to me?!
Shut up. I dont want to hear anything about ignorance from a member of the royal family whose pride is as small as her breasts.
Small?!
The deception of this thief caused me great financial damage.
Thief. Is that artifact that you were going to steal really in the ck market? If you answer, Ill let you cover yourself with this nket until tomorrow.
Only until tomorrow?
Dont you want it?
Its there! I can feel the power of chaos. Now its too far away, so it is difficult to say, but until I was caught, I felt it. There is an Artifact of Chaos there.
To cover up and protect her trampled pride, she shared ssified information. However, there was a lot of useless information hiding there.
Im not interested in knowing your name.
You are a savage, not a Hero! You need to know the limits of rudeness!
The elf thief told me everything about herself except her age. This thief cant steal but is being stolen
Why do I need your name?
This is the name of a purebred elf of the royal family! I only give my name to those I trust! But suddenly you, Hero, are the first! Take it as an honorPhah?!
p!
I threw the nket right in her face. The princess from the central continent was also talking about such nonsense. This honor is only worth wiping your feet with.
Um Hero. Sorry to interrupt. Have you seen Princess Sylvia in this area? She is the daughter of the one I apanied, the elf archer intervened carefully.
If you recall the 2nd ythrough, she, without a moments hesitation, sacrificed her life for Sylvia. She had no equal when it came to devotion. I shrugged.
I saw her in the woods.
Most likely, it was already beautifully packaged at the ck Auction. Because the kingdom of the elves kept their borders tightly closed, many dont even know that the royal family, like Sylvia, has longer ears than ordinary elves, like this thief. Did they introduce her as a cheeky rabbit?
Everything except Sylvias chest was appreciated, but the reason she was so expensive was precisely her rare long ears.
I was angry as soon as I thought about it. It cant be that this thief is worth three times as much as Sylvia.
She shouldnt conflict with those people from the ck Auction
Ha! I think she got scared and ran away.
Who are you to say that about the royal family? If your ears arent as fake as your breasts, then you must be a member of the royal family too.
These are real ears!
Its hard to believe. These are words from the lips of someone who tried to charm others with deception.
The thief and the archer began a skirmish.
Because of my ancestor, the men of this family have been weird for many generations! Even if it has small wings, a bird is a bird! And no one can deny it!
I well understand how the descendants are now suffering greatly because of their pathetic ancestors. The elf archer snapped back.
Youre just talking some nonsense, but there wasnt a king who belittled his fellow tribesmen in history.
There is!
Arent you confusing them with human kings? There were never any such elf kings.
There was!
No!
The two elves red at each other. The thiefs words were true, but history was on the winning side. If it became known that the most respected king of the elves hated his fellow tribesmen, then the royal power would be under threat, which is why it is carefully hidden.
And one more. Everything in this fantasy world is great if you have a high level. Even the minor Threat skill of a level 851 archer put a lot of pressure on a level 137 thief. As if resisting, the thief cried out.
Is a royal guard knight threatening a member of the royal family? I understand now how the demons stole the queen from you!
Ho-how do you know that?
I saw it by chance when I was looking for the Chaos Artifact.
And what happened to her?
This is unknown to me. All I know is that the demon didnt immediately kill the queen.
I know well. That queen found herself a new love! She enjoyed ying on the Demon Lords castle terrace, and nine years after the Hero was summoned, she seemed to have had a child with him. But I didnt consider it necessary to tell them about it. They will start questioning me, how do I know, and besides, I didnt see any benefit for myself.
I quietly changed the subject.
From today on, your names are Archer E and Thief E.
Yes, master.
The archer answered obediently. It was also partly because Im an SSS ss, righteous hero. There seemed to be noint about the names I came up with.
This is unfair! It doesnt even sound like names! I have a noble name, Illina Lou Elfheim! By what right do you change my name?!
Thief E.
My name
Thief E.
And so everything was decided. In this ythrough, I now had two new tasks: research the Chaos Artifact mentioned by Thief E and collect the likes of Archer E, who apanied the queen.
Its just collecting. The hero with 25 years of experience only had to do this.
a?o Confusion: Cadet Kang Han Soo. Isnt there anything more useful? For example, y the Five Disasters.
If you think about it, it wasnt a bad n either. I was wondering if I ovee all Five Disasters, would the fantasy world be destroyed anyway? In addition, I could meet with my dearpanion, High Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. I n to graduate after the 9th ythrough, so I wanted to say goodbye to my friend in advance.
And something else. I need to retrieve the money I lost due to thief E. But I wouldnt use such a savage method as attacking the ck market auction, as I am also, to some extent, guilty.
It was necessary to understand immediately after I saw the long ears of Thief E.
My fault. Im not going to shift all the me to the auction because unlike the dim-witted God of the fantasy world; I am a just Hero. So
Lets contact Prince Nasus!
***
During the 2nd ythrough, I became friends with Prince Nasus, the main contender for the throne of the elven kingdom. Because of this, I knew very well what he wanted.
Archer E.
Yes, master.
Contact the elven kingdom.
Archer E was devoted to the kingdom like no other. Using the magic ofmunication established in the Dumpling Kingdom, she transferred all the information received to the kingdom of elves. The location of Princess Sylvia, the abduction of the queen, the appearance of the Hero
She told them everything she knew. And after a few days
The news came that Prince Nasus and a delegation were going to visit the Dumpling Kingdom. Why Prince Nasus? Because the prince was the only elf willing to contact humans, stepping on their dangerousnd. I didnt have the bodies of Sylvia and her followers like in y 2, but the overall picture was simr.
He was the head of the delegation. At Nasuss belt hung the elven kingdoms treasure, the Elemental Sword of Endymion, of which he was so proud.

] Level: 999+

Although his sister was missing, he wasnt at all worried. On the contrary, he hoped that she was killed. But in the eyes of others, he seemed like a great prince who, even in such a situation when the fate of his sister was unknown, remained calm and reasonable. The prince extended his hand to me as a greeting.
Im Nasus. It is an incredible honor to meet the great Hero of Legends. I dont even know how to express my gratitude for the fact that you saved mypatriots, who were almost sold at the auctionAh! Forget all the formalities and just call me Nasus. Sir Hero is entitled to this.
He was still an extremely pleasant person. What did I answer in y 2? Ah!
Nice to meet you, Nasus. I sincerely hope that elves and humans live in peace and harmony, like our meeting.
That is my wish too.
Cheers!
Hahaha!
We talked in a friendly atmosphere, discussing everything from politics to the war debate. While we were talking, Prince Nasus asked me an unusual question:
Sir Hero, could you please introduce me to the beautiful elf who is next to you.
Shes
p!
I immediately hit the only plump ce of Thief E, as she was dressed in a festive dress with my palm. The sound from the blow was loud enough.
Ho-How dare-
The thief quickly covered her mouth. To say that you are from the royal family in front of Prince Nasus, who ns to take the throne, is tantamount to suicide. But he had already noticed her long ears, symbolizing the representative of the royal family. Thats what I was nning, so I brought her here.
This is the lustful thief I raised. She, like Princess Sylvia, loves to hang around, but I keep her in check.
I understood. I envy you. You have such a beauty among your ves.
I appreciate yourpliment.
Now Thief E couldnt escape from me. Unless, of course, she wished to fall prey to assassins from the elf kingdom, shed better trust me.
Bless our meeting!
Bless.
Haha!
Hahaha!
History was always written at night. After we finished celebrating the delegations arrival in the Dumplings Kingdom, we met face to face on the dark terrace. I was the first to start the conversation.
Do you want to find the missing princess Sylvia?
Of course. If something happens to my younger sister, I will not stand it.
Oh, dear! Then
I will help you for a fee!
Chapter 113 - Broken Family.
Chapter 113 - Broken Family.
The negotiations went smoothly. After talking in that friendly atmosphere and shaking hands, we left the terrace lit by the night moon. It was a really lovely night.
Also perfect for my wallet, which was previously as thin as a dried anchovy.
ng!
This ringing of coins would never bother me. In addition, the mood was even better because this was honestly earned money.
Sir Hero! Sir Hero! Where did you get so much money? Lanuvel thinks this is all too suspicious.
Ha! I honestly earned this money.
Why did the prince of the elf kingdom give you money?
Lanuvel, are you pretending not to know anything on purpose?
Lanuvel pretended to know, and it turned out to be true!
There was nothing to hide; therefore, smiling at her like an honest Hero, I answered.
I just told Prince Nasus that the evil elves were captured and held at the ck market auction. And in gratitude, he gave me a lot of money. Lanuvel, do you still have anyints against me?
Yes! I think its dangerous to tell Prince Nasus about the whereabouts of Princess Sylvia, who also has the right to take the throne!
The older brother just wants to find his beloved younger sister. And if something happens to Princess Sylvia, will you take responsibility?
If Sir Hero takes responsibilityouch?!
Shut up.
I hit Lanuvels forehead, saying that she shouldnt poke her nose into other peoples business. It may be difficult for savages from the fantasy world to understand, but it is indecent to meddle in the affairs of someone elses family. The King of the Elves is sad that his beloved daughter has gone missing. I told her older brother, who can be called her guardian, where Ist saw Princess Sylvia. On this, the duty of the just Hero was fulfilled.
Thief E intervened in our conversation.
Im not interested in what Prince Nasus will do to Sylvia, but his gaze directed at me was rather lustful. He became interested in my body, in which pureblood flows. Although because the Hero-Savage guessed to present me as a ve, he seems to have given up
Hah! Wow, youre delusional.
I chuckled. Who needs you without those fake breasts?
No! Its true! I saw it with my own eyes! That prince looked me from head to toe
Okay, okay. Your distant rtive has a crush on you, well, now shut up. Youre starting to annoy me.
I dont care if hes interested in her. Prince Nasus could sense the power of my skills as spirits tightly adhere to my body. My Spirit skill is currently MAX. Although my level is now lower than that of the king of the elves, my skill rank is higher. As far as I remembered, Prince Nasus wasnt stupid enough to try to take possession of another strong mans property.
While he was in the Dumpling Kingdom, his delegation took Archer E for questioning. They seemed to have many questions for the one who was unable to protect the Princess of Elfheim. But I knew about Prince Nasuss ns. They simply removed Archer E, who was incredibly loyal to Princess Sylvia, beforehand.
a?o Rapture: Cadet Kang Han Soo. You got the money for the adventure so quickly. Just unbelievable.
Miss Trainee. Isnt that the basics?
a?o Despondency: Cadet Sieg was always poor. One day, he starved all hispanions by giving away his hard-earned money to some beggar. And also, he became the surety of the imperial princess, whom he met for the first time, and took over all her debts. And
Enough! Miss Trainee, Ill listen when we drink together!
I couldnt listen to this sober.
Thief E.
Thief E, dont make me call you twice. I can carve this name between your 4th and 5th vertebra.
Speak, Hero-savage.
Is the Chaos Artifact still at the warehouse?
Yes. But its unsure when it will be put up for sale. There is a possibility that it was moved or the sale was canceled.
Thief E answered negatively, sticking out her lips.
How problematic.
What is exactly? What advice can I give?
I wont sell you because of your ability to sense the Chaos Artifact, but if its gone, youre no use at all.
Are you going to sell me?!
Prince Nasus offered a good price for you.
Hearing the price, I, frankly, was surprised. After revealing that her breasts werent real, nothing remarkable remained in her except that royal blood flowing in her. But the price for it somehow only rose. Each time I refused, Prince Nasus raised the amount.
With the huge amount of money he offered, I could buy a small town, and he also offered the Elemental Sword of Endymion as coteral. It was clear how much he wanted to get Thief E.
I will do whatever you order me! You can even call me that strange name! Dont sell me! I dont want that filthy offspring to touch me!
It depends on how you behave.
Please!
Did you say something?
Yes
Biting her plump red lips, thief E pulled at the ties of her red dress with trembling hands. The dress fell to the ground without any obstruction.
What are you doing?
Do you want me to say it?! Are you trying to put me to shame?
Thief E was as red as a tomato. Its not that I asked because I didnt know why.
Enough of jokes, get out. This S-rank Hero doesnt go to bed with anyone.
AhIm sorry. I misunderstood
Besides, I already have a more attractivedy for the night.
Dont misunderstand! I didnt insist on this. However, the king of the Dumpling Kingdom wanted to somehow serve me, so he sent me a beautiful maid. I have 25 years of experience; I could easily give up the uncouth beauties of the fantasy world. But if I refused such a friendly gesture, the king of the Dumpling Kingdom would be even more worried, and the rumor would spread among the maids that Im a eunuch.
Therefore, it would be fair
Hero-savage! Heaven will punish you for this!
Thief E shouted with tears in her eyes, having received a blow to her pride.
Lanuvel doesnt know if you did the right thing with Illina or not.
Lanuvel, nobody asked you at all.
Ooh
Whos Illina?
A whining voice rang out next to me, Its me! Remember it! Savage Hero! but I ignored it. I entrusted the preparations for the journey to Lanuvel and the Porter. As nned, it was necessary to go to the vige where the Greatest Creature lived. I was going to listen to Master Mons teachings again.
Ten years of experience and twenty-five years of experience. I would learn something new from his teachings.
Its not fair! All the time, you do Lanuvel work, and you have fun by yourself!
Im going to work too.
Where?
A very dangerous ce.
*
Apanied only by Thief E, I went to the forest again. The location of the ck market auction was constantly changing, but it would be impossible to move all the structures and goods in just a few days. This required huge costs.
As expected
Many elves gathered in the forest, a fully armed squad of elves in iron armor that didnt suit them at all. Their average level exceeded 350, and they also had incredible skills. At the center of this group was Prince Nasus. All the elves gathered here in the future will make up the coup dtat in the kingdom of elves.
These are Prince Nasuss loyal servants. They would keep secret everything that happened here. Hiding in the bushes, I waited for their further actions.
Hero-savage. What are they doing here? whispered Thief E, wearing abat uniform.
She was cheating again. Under her clothes was the same protection that looks like a bra that I saw before. Feeling my sad look, the flushed Thief E began to make excuses.
This is abat uniform, inherited by the women of our family. It is made of great metal that can change properties depending on the wishes of the owner. Mom said that if you meet your true love, then this metal turns into real breasts
Incredible metal?
Romantinium. This is a rare metal collected all over the fantasy world by our ancestors, obsessed with big breasts. It is not as strong as steel, but it is said that it cannot be cut even with the Holy Sword.
Really?
Just dont test it on me.
While we were talking, Prince Nasus, using the spirits of the earth, began to dig a hole to infiltrate the auction. Looking at his assembledrades, Prince Nasus held a grave look.
We are going to rescue our fellow tribesmen. But if they are taken hostage, feel free to leave them and not take revenge. Sylvia is no exception. I hope that there will not be those who, for the sake of saving their fellow tribesmen, will themselves be a ve. Lets go!
The elves went down to the dungeon. Seeing this, I also decided to move.
Hey, damn spirits. Stop sticking to me, go to work.
Thief E grumbled in reply.
Hero-savage. The spirits arent our ves. If you consider them friends, then ask them politely. Neglected spirits may one day turn against you.
Who said were friends?
Hmm?
Thief E. Look carefully. This is a lesson from an S-rank Hero. So! Spirits who want to receive orders from me, get together!
Kugugugu-
The dense forest trembled. The spirits immediately began to gather as if it was apetition. And then
Rubbing, rubbing.
They began to smile and sexually harass me, covering me from head to toe. There was no ce where they wouldnt touch me. And even that ce was no exception!
How, how so
Thief E muttered, not believing her eyes.
Because I am a Hero.
I omitted the rest of the details.
Dududu-!
It is convenient when there are many employees. They were digging a tunnel at a speed that even a modern excavator couldnt handle. Looking at the dark tunnel, I turned to Thief E and asked:
Can you feel it?
The Hero, who must prevent the worlds destruction, had no free time to protect an unnecessary woman. I brought Thief E with me to find the Chaos Artifact.
Yes. Its right down below, Thief E replied, looking into the darkness with worry.
I heard subtle screams and noiseing from below. I cant feel the energy like Thief E, but I understood that a fierce battle was already underway between the humans and elves below. Under the previous circumstances, Sylvia would have made a fuss while Thief E stole the Chaos Artifact and escaped.
But in the confusing 9th ythrough, Sylvias role was taken over by her older brother.
By the way, Thief E
Going down into the tunnel, I turned to the elf.
Say it.
Why do you need this Artifact? Just for a collection? Or do you know how to extract power from it?
Thief E replied with a serious tone.
I will save an ancestor locked in another dimension.
Mm?
If you think this is a stupid dream, you canugh. But I have to go through the dimensions and save the ancestorHik?! Thats close! Your face is too close! What if you touch my lips
Hey, exin in more detail.
Chapter 114 - You are dead already
Chapter 114 - You are dead already
Was it during the 6th ythrough? I remember hearing this from the priestess in the cave. After defeating the Demon Lord Pedonar, the First Hero escaped with his harem, making a new life for himself. In other words, Elder 1 graduated not because he took down the Demon Lord but because he found a way to escape from this Fantasy dimension.
How? Thief E just mentioned this. One could move through dimensions with the help or permission of the God of the fantasy world.
? Confusion: Is this possible?
Miss Trainee, dont you know anything about this? If youre hiding something, your secret friend will be extremely upset.
?Answer: There are generation gaps among the teaching staff. For example, the director and headteacher who raised the First Hero are 1st generations. My older colleagues were with the First Hero at the same time, 2nd generation. And finally, very young interns, like me, are part of the 3rd generation! Therefore, I know very little.
Generation gaps
? Anticipation: Ask her quickly. Im interested too!
Miss Trainee. Dont rush me.
Dont rush me, Savage Hero. I dont know the details either. Mom said that if you collect three Chaos Artifacts for each of the three attributes, which in total equals nine items, you can move between dimensions. Two Artifacts were passed down from generation to generation, and my father found one. I found one. In total, our family collected four Artifacts.
And if you steal another one at the auction, shed have five.
Interesting.
Was the ability to move through dimensions hidden there?
?Type: Skill
?Name:
?Rank: A
?S: .
?A: Confuse the target.
?B: Destroy the target.
?C: Consign the target to oblivion.
?D: Immunity to Chaos.
?E: Immunity to destruction.
?F: Immunity to oblivion.
I dont have enough data to be sure of that. Or is this power not part of the ck Box at all? The three attributes that Thief E mentioned are chaos, destruction, and oblivion. The characteristics of the Chaos race were easy to calcte. Its worth researching.
At this time, the Spirits of the Wind began to whisper in my ear with such force that my eardrums almost burst.
Is that so?
As expected, Prince Nasus was making good progress. There was no doubt that all the people from the auction would fall to his power. But everything went too slowly. With the level and skills of Prince Nasus, he alone would have to finish them off. But the ck market mercenaries were still fighting.
Its clear what theyre up to.
Give up! Otherwise, we will kill these elves!
Exactly this situation. Realizing that they were weaker, the mercenaries began to threaten the invaders by taking the low-level elves they had recently acquired hostage.
Drop your weapon and surrender Kahak?!
Dont you want to save your Akk?!
The invaders warned threatened by Prince Nasus didnt stop their attack, though they did slow. They were so slow that the question crept in whether they thought to save at least one of the captive elves. Thanks to this, the mercenaries were able to proceed with the following actions.
Dont think its just a threat! Kill five in the front.
Spare Ah!
I dont want to Kak?!
The elves, from whom I took experience points and dropped their level to 1, couldnt resist, so they quickly died. And not only because of the mercenaries.
Puk! Puk! Puk!
The invaders arrows hit the bodies of the fragile elves, whom the mercenaries used as shields. There was no remorse or sadness on the faces of the elven archers. Although they were tribesmen, they were still from different factions. They didnt care if all the hostages from the circle of the oppositions leader, Princess Sylvia, died.
No, they deliberately attacked slowly until everyone was dead.
Heck! Hostages are useless!
And I thought that they loved their fellow tribesmen!
Just kill everyone!
Realizing this, the mercenaries immediately began killing the captured elves. They realized that they had no chance of sess. Thus, they showed that they would take the hated elves with them to hell. Everything went ording to Prince Nasuss n.
In the interim, Thief E and I took advantage of this to infiltrate the ck Auction warehouse. Artifact of ChaosI still couldnt feel it.
Thief E. Where is this Artifact? If we havee this way, and you say that you have mixed something up, I wont just leave it as is.
The noble royal family never lies. Follow me.
At this time, we heard someones screams nearby.
Manager, the Magic Circle of Spatial Transfer is not working! There is a high-level magician among the invaders blocking it!
Manager, the secret escape route is littered! Its not a natural copse, but the work of the Spirits of the Earth, so it will be impossible to break through!
Manager, using hostages doesnt work on invaders! When we threatened to kill them, they didnt even blink an eye!
Around therge man, whom everyone called the manager, the members of the ck market and their mercenaries gathered. Each of them had their luggage with them. They were trying to save the most expensive things to be put up for sale. And it seemed that the Artifact of Chaos was among them.
And also
Get your dirty hands off me!
The future elf queen, Sylvia, was also there. Even in the present situation, when she became level 1 and weaker than any viger, she used her sharp tongue. She was wrapped in ropes to the point she looked like a silkworm cocoon. The slender body of the elf hung on the shoulder of a mercenary.
Flounder, flounder.
She continued to wriggle like a mermaid whose fins had been cut off.
? Goosebumps: Isnt that metaphor too cruel?!
The people of the Dark Commerce had yet to discover us. Thief E was stealthy, and I blended well with the environment through the protection of nature.
The Magic Circle of Spatial Transference is blocked. The tunnel leading to the surface is blocked. The secret path is blocked. The Dark Commerce quickly concluded that the invaders had blocked all escape routes.
This is the end? No. There is something else.
The manager responded in a sullen tone.
I am using the Teleportation Magic Circle.
Teleportation Magic Circle. As the name suggested, this magic circle allowed rapid movement. But unlike the Magic Circle of Spatial Transfer, with the help of which you can move from country to country, with the help of this magic, you can only move a short distance. If you try hard, you will be able to move to the forest on the surface.
But it was stable and safe magic. In the current situation, when it is impossible to use the magic of spatial transfer, this would be the best way to escape. But this kind of magic didnt allow the movement ofrge numbers of people. A maximum of two people could be moved at a time. Because of this, the number of people who could escape was limited.
Were gaining time, manager.
We are d that we knew you personally.
Manager. Take care of my family.
Runaway and be sure to take revenge!
The manager took the beautifully wrapped Sylvia from his subordinate and hefted her on his shoulder. Sylvia pulled out a lucky ticket because she could escape from here with the manager. She got an advantage because of her long ears.
Dont underestimate how important looks are.
Thief E, where is the Artifact?
I dont care if Sylvia survives. If I get hold of the Chaos Artifact, I wont hinder her happy life because I am a generous Hero!
Unfortunately, the manager has it.
Some invisible thread was trying to connect me with Sylvia all the time.
Well, I cant help it.
Meanwhile, the Teleportation Magic Circle began to glow faintly. It would be activated very soon. I cant dy it any longer, but I didnt have to interfere.
Because there is an older brother here who doesnt want his sister to leave, Prince Nasus burst into the warehouse, breaking through the ring of mercenaries protecting the Magic Circle. With his right hand, he swung the sword, Endymion.
Chaa-!
The mercenaries fell to the ground from one blow. Of course, this didnt reach the Princess of the Sword in her best years, but in such a peaceful time without war, there arent many people who can resist such a sword. If someone can, they must be either the Guardian of Humanity or the Hero of the past generation.
And they werent here now.
Kyaak?!
Kuuk?!
Damn!
Severed human bodies were scattered everywhere. Their life ended so quickly that they didnt even have time to ask for mercy.
Ssh-ssh
Prince Nasus, walking in a pool of blood, slowly approached the circle where the teleportation process was being prepared.
Crack-
Something went wrong due to his intervention, and the glow began to fade.
M-monster
Swish!
Endymions sword sliced through the managers throat, causing him to immediately copse to the ground.
Kyahuk
Sylvia, whom he was holding on his shoulder, also fell. Since she was tied hand and foot, she couldnt do anything. Her face fell directly to the ground, mixed with blood and dirt.
My beloved sister Sylvia. Many fellow tribesmen who believed you and followed you died. Your brother doesnt know how to tell the families of the victims about such a tragedy.
Ah
How will you atone for your sins?
I, I
Sylvia had only one option. Suicide.
Even during the 2nd ythrough, she was going to bury herself alive. It was very convenient to evade responsibility in this way. I waited for Sylvia to drown in a pool of blood. But apparently, I waited too long.
Sir Hero,e out. Youre surrounded, Prince Nasus said in a calm voice.
He didnt pretend he knew where Lanuvel was. He said it precisely, looking in the direction where I was hiding.
Oh! Correction
S-Im sorry. It seems that he noticed us because of me
The trembling Thief E asked for forgiveness. Prince Nasus was staring not at me with a twinkle in his eyes but at the elf beside me. But Thief E didnt do anything that could betray us?
Smiling, Prince Nasus continued.
I remember well the sweet smelling from your beautiful body. It is useless to erase it with skills. My beating heart and burning soul tell me that you are here! Give up and finally show yourself, sweet creature. And its owner, the Hero too.
Looking at Thief E, I said.
Bloody thief. If you keep saying that you are a noble elf, then at least wash. Thats why I cannot deal with women from the fantasy world.
This is unfair! Its some kind of conspiracy!
Excuses are a sin.
Hmph!
Having shut her mouth, I showed myself. We got caught for a stupid reason, but I dont care.
Prince Nasus, I thought you were a smarter man.
What a disappointment.
Haha! Sir Hero. Love drives people crazy. This is my first time. Let this woman, whom you consider your property, go and give her to me. Then I will allow you to leave in peace. As you know, Sir Hero, if something happens to you here, no one will know about it.
So you were expecting my arrival?
Prince Nasus replied with a smile.
As your senior, I will give you advice. Its silly to show yourself just because youve been told that youve been noticed. Haha! Your Spirits will be useless because you are already within reach. The time in which I can cut you with my sword is faster than the speed the spirits can move.
Advice
Give her to me. I will make her much happier than when she is your ve.
Nasus, you misunderstood something
Misunderstood?
Crack! Tuk, tuk
Nasuss body was beautifully split in half.
I havent shown myself?
There were no eyewitnesses.
? Denial: But there is?
After receiving ament from Miss Trainee, I looked at the ground. Sylvias trembling body was stained with the pink entrails and hot blood leaking from her older brothers corpse.
Our gazes met.
We met again.
Hik?!
They say that a first meeting is an ident, but the second is fate. A sweet smile blossomed on my face.
Hi. Im a righteous S-rank Hero. Will you say that you are grateful that I saved you and you will die? Or you wont, and youll die anyway?
I ignored Thief Es silly question about what the difference was.
Chapter 115 - To the Bright future!
Chapter 115 - To the Bright future!
Level 1861 Level 1683 Level 2740
After killing Prince Nasus, my level increased again. To knock down such an opponent whose level was above 999 without much noise, I needed a lot of experience points, but I received even more.
Race: Natural Human. This is pure fraud.
Whether its a game or a fantasy world, there is such a thing as efficiency in absorbing experience points. For exampleif I or my character were to kill a level 100 monster and take his experience, this doesnt mean that we would immediately have a level above 100. If we calcte the efficiency of the Fantasy measurement of experience points, then you need to catch a dozen level 100 monsters for the level to go from 99 to 100.
Depending on the situation, the efficiency may vary but was less than 2% on average. The Heros 5x experience perk also doesnt give a special advantage. If the efficiency is less than 2% multiplied by 5, it will be less than 10%. We can say that this is a lot, but if youpared it with the characteristics of my race, Natural Human, then it was like a firefly near the Sun.
Because I absorb 99% of the experience!
? Trembling: Isnt that too fraudulent?
Miss Trainee. Life is generally an unfair thing.
?Exnation: The efficiency of experience points is specially calcted in this way. If you get too many experience points simultaneously, then the body and soul wont stand it. Students are given the Hero specialization, which elerates development just as much as the soul and body can take. But
It doesnt work for me. I remembered what the Old Prince said: skills are an illusion in the fantasy world, and race and specialization are incredibly important. As he said
I possessed such a strong race attribute that no skills couldpare. The Race Natural Human destroyed the existing rules and the bnce of the fantasy world. Because of this, there was a problem.
The useless Hero specialization had be cumbersome. I need to get rid of the Hero and get a more useful specialization.
? Embarrassment: You are most likely the only student, Kang Han Soo, who thinks the Hero specialization is useless. If the Hero Sieg, who had nothing in his head except pairing, didnt have a fivefold increase in the experience gained, then his level would go down after each battle.
Oh! I remember seeing this during the 3rd ythrough. Sieg, who was helped by the system of this fantasy world almost at every step, returned after hunting and adventures with a level lower than he had before. It was a growth method beyond alchemy.
By the way.
After Sylvia heard about her fate, she fell silent, thereby hinting at her decision. How stubborn. This elf, who almost died at the hands of her older brother, didnt want to thank the S-rank Hero.
And Im not extorting money from her.
Is that so? Im sorry about that.
If she just thanked me, I would kill her quickly and painlessly. But now its toote to regret it. I have activated the ck Box.
The magic of ten seconds!
Hero Demon Lord (Hero Level)
Demon Lord became my specialty in no time, and sealed skills began to appear. On top of it, Level 2740. The efficiency of the skills increased immediately. The ordinary skill of Invention started, and the intangible skill Dark Energy enveloped Sylvias body.
Also added was the Oblivion of the ck Box.
? Race: Arch-Elf
? Level: 1
? Specialization: Shaman (Blessing = Spirit)
?Skills: Charm A, Nobility A, Spirit B, Archery B, Blessing C
?Condition: Tied, Humiliation, Fear, Resentment
Sylvia, who lost to me in the forest, had bad skills. Except for the spirits she used as ves, she was like a walking corpse. So I decided to fix it.
Wh-what?!
Seeing how her body absorbed the Dark Energy, Sylvia began to dodge and resist. But all this was useless. Not only was she bound hand and foot, but she was also now in the dungeon of the ck market.
This was one of the most secret ces in the Dumpling Kingdom. No one woulde to save her.
Sylvia. Listen to me. An S-rank hero came to save you, but your older brother suddenly pounced on me for no reason and tried to kill me. Therefore, in the name of a just Hero, I knocked him down! Well? Im wrong?
No.
Sylvia responded with a dull look but a clear mind.
Sylvia. Im your benefactor. Right?
Right. I dont like that I got help from a human, but I cant help but admit that you are good.
She answered stiffly. It seemed that even if I erased her memory, nothing could change her character. But that too would nowe to an end.
Because
Shooooo-!
Dark Energy was entering her body. It was dangerous to set free a lioness who hated people. So I put a cor around her neck. The future elf queen tried to resist with bulging eyes. She wriggled like a worm that had just been stepped on.
But she soon calmed down.
The Status changes were impressive.
? Race: Arch-Elf
? Level: 1
? Specialization: Demonic Shaman (Dark Energy = Evil Spirit)
? Skills: Evil Spirit SS, Dark Energy S, Nobility A, Captivity A, Archery B
? Condition: Tied, Fall, Devotion
The foolish spirits who remained by Sylvias side out of loyalty fell under the influence of Dark Energy and became Evil Spirits.
Evil Spirit is SS-rank?
I didnt expect this result. It seemed that the Demon Shaman spec was perfect for Sylvias personality.
Sylvia, who are you?
I am a devoted ve of the great Hero who saved me from death. From now on, this body and fiery soul belong to you. I will live for you until my lifees to an end.
Due to the transcendental skill Dark Energy, Sylvia became obedient. It could be said that she was almost apletely new person.
Excellent.
I untied the ropes that bound Sylvias body. But level 1 was too weak. There wont be any help from her. So I decided to try another experiment.
Kang Han Soo: Level 2740 Level 2739
Sylvia: Level 1 Level 316
I gave my experience points to Sylvia. For me, this was just one level, but for her, the level immediately increased exponentially. It helped even dust as Sylvia grow.
But this didnt reflect well on her.
Kha?!
Screaming in pain, Sylvia fell to the ground face-first. Blood gushed from her mouth, nose, and eyes. Her body began to tremble as if she were having a seizure.
?Exnation: Kang Han Soo. I told you before. If the level is raised so dramatically, the soul and body will not survive. It takes time for the vessel to berger. If you hurry, the vessel will crack, as is the case with this elf.
Miss Trainee, how do I fix it?
?Answer: With the help of Healing, heal the wounded soul and body, and pay for it with extra experience points. Then the pressure will go to the one who enacts the Healing. But the Saint has a high level so that everything will be fine.
I immediately got down to business.
Hiplia.
Yes.
As soon as I called her, Hiplia appeared, and both her hands were engulfed in a white glow. She immediately approached the dying Sylvia.
Level 316 Level 284
Sylvias level began to plummet. We were back to when we first met in the woods. Is the dted vessel preserved? But if there is an overabundance of free experience points, there would be an overload.
Thief E. What about the Chaos Artifact?
I took it. But
Shut up.
I shut up Thief E before she started asking a lot of questions and then canceled the summon of Hiplia. It was a little ufortable because she had just done her job and returned, but nothing could be done about it, because unexpected guests were approaching us.
Thief E and I quickly left. We were never here.
Ah! Sir Nasus?!
Prince?!
Oh, how is that?
As Prince Nasus ordered, the elves slowly narrowed their encirclement, but they arrived toote. They were dumbfounded when they saw the princes body cut in half. Some of the women even started crying. Sylvia, as if nothing had happened, spoke to them.
Elder brother Nasus died protecting me. I dedicate this body to create Elfheim, where humans and elves can coexist. And I will support the greatest Hero. If someone decides to prevent me, I will eliminate him, even if it is my beloved father. Will you help me?
Iswear loyalty to you.
I swear allegiance to Princess Sylvia.
Of course. Princess Sylvia.
The power of Prince Nasus passed to Sylvia. Due to the princes sudden love, the n changed slightly, but thanks to the actions of the just Hero, Sylvia was rehabilitated. May the future of the Kingdom of Elfheim be bright!
?Admiration: Just wonderful! Im impressed.
Hehe! Do you think so too, Miss Trainee?
I am a Hero with 25 years of experience, so I perfectly understand the intentions of the examiners. The god of the fantasy world wanted to take away Prince Nasus and make Sylvia the next queen of the elves. Plus, the elves arent the only ones who want to live in a happy fantasy world.
If you cross humans and elves, you get the best race in a beautiful fantasy world. This was a good result for a Hero who was summoned just three days ago.
Princess Sylvia recovered from her hatred of people. The inept single father of an elf king, abandoned by the queen for the Demon Lord, was left with only Sylvia. Prince Nasus vs. Princess Sylvia
The race, divided in half, is now united. Thus, it was decided that Sylvia would be the next queen of the elves. The S-rank hero did just fine!
?Sigh: How different are you from Sieg. If Sieg had the skills you do, he would create a harem of elves and spend the whole day mating.
Miss Trainee. Forget about this inept Sieg already.
?Determination: Thank you for your words, Cadet Kang Han Soo, but I cant. Although I am a trainee, I have been teaching Sieg for five years. If the teacher refuses the student, then they also refuse the title of the teacher!
Good luck in this difficult endeavor. Dont give up!
The Righteous Hero sessfully solved all the cases at the ck market auction of the Dumpling Kingdom. Prince Nasus was right. If something happened, no one would know.
Gauping, gauping.
The spirits were watching everything, but theyre on my side. If you betray me, then know that there is not a soul around. Do you understand me?
Nod.
Thats why I like Spirits! But could you not touch me from below with your little hands?
Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Mind. Now the firm, hot, cool, wet, and sometimes indescribable feeling could be felt. My head was spinning from all these sensations.
Spirits are naive? If we were on Earth, they would all be jailed for sexual harassment.
Hero-savage, this is the Chaos Artifact.
Thief E proudly handed me an old antique.
Mmmeven looking at it, I dont understand anything.
It was a delicate handmade brooch. I wasnt interested in art, so in my eyes, it is just a piece of jewelry to benefit from. I didnt even feel the power of Chaos.
Because it is still sealed.
Sealed?
Only someone from the Elfheim bloodline can remove the seal. Like this.
The thief ran a dagger over her finger. A drop of blood appeared on the tip of her snow-white finger.
She ran it over the brooch.
Crack-!
At first nce, nothing changed, but I felt that the seal that Thief E was talking about had been removed. And a video started to scroll in my head.
Which I didnt expect to see
Chapter 116 - Hero’s Wife.avi
Chapter 116 - Heros Wife.avi
The sensations were very strange. This was different from when I was in the womb. Now I had self-awareness, but I didnt understand exactly where I was.
Watch and listen. Now Im only allowed them.
On a wide luxurious bed, where a whole family could fit, a naked man and a woman settled down.
Tak, tak, tak, tak
Behind the woman, who was on her knees, a man was moving rhythmically. Every time their flesh touched, a pping sound filled the room.
Soon the sound stopped.
Honey, are you finished already?
The woman with a beautiful face asked, looking back.
Yes, sorry. This body isnt what it used to be, the man answered awkwardly as their gazes crossed.
His upper body was muscr and as strong as steel, but his lower body hung limply. What a pitiful sight.
I will wash first.
Okay.
After watching the woman leave, the man sat down on the wide bed and wiped his lower body with a napkin.
There were many different scars on his body, and some I even recognized. Namely, five of them.
The red stripes on the back were obtained from the burning ws of the Five Disasters in the southern continent. His legs were slightly greenish, not because he didnt wash. Those marks remained even after treatment for the poisonous breath of the Five Disasters in the central continent. The blue marks remaining on his abdominal muscles were the aftermath of the ice fang bite of the Five Disasters in the northern continent. The various geometric inscriptions on his left hand werent tattoos: these were a sign that the soul of the Five Disasters of the western continent was sealed in it.
A neckpletely covered with eif not immediately healed, the curse of the Five Disasters of the eastern continent caused this.
How do I know so well about this? During the 1st ythrough, I followed almost the same route.
Im not the same. And I am not as excited as beforehmm?
Throwing a napkin into the trash can, the man froze. And then he pulled out something from there.
This?
It was a brooch. The Chaos artifact was found by Thief E from the ck market. In this video, the brooch wasnt so old that it could be called an Artifact, but it was the same decoration by design.
Darling, go to the shower. And make sure that no water gets on the second shelf in the shower. That soap is expensive.
Oh, okay.
Without letting the woman know, the man wrapped the brooch in paper and squeezed it in his left hand. And then he calmly went to the shower.
After the shower, we need to have a serious talk.
Okay
The man quickly took a shower and walked out in his clothes. Not in a robe, but weekend clothes. He would listen to what serious conversation the woman needed to have and then head out.
I heard that you secretly trained your sisters son. Is that true?
Oh, that? A little boy followed me when I went fishing. While I was fishing so that he wouldnt be bored, I taught him something. Quite insignificant.
What about our son?
Why?
This is the first time hes lost to that worthless boy! My handsome and talented son lost because of that new trick that you taught that boy! Do you know how my sister mocked me, watching all this?
Sorry
Getting ready to answer something, the man simply gave up and apologized, touching the brooch in his pocket with his hand.
If youre sorry,e with my son and me in two days to the parent meeting at the Academy.
Two days? But thats
Because of you, our son has bepletely passive! Praise him in front of the teachers and teach him some new techniques. Why do you discriminate against children by whether they go fishing with you or not? I didnt give birth to your son to be humiliated and neglected! Got it?
Yes
Are you sure you wille in two days?
Of course.
Hoho! I love you, dear.
Me too
Having finished the conversation, the man went out into the streets. He was an extraordinary man as he had the Five Disaster scars all over his body. As soon as he left the huge mansion, without any wings, he flew up and headed somewhere.
During the flight, the entirendscape was obscured by fog. So this wasnt important information?
The man who had been flying for some timended on the beautiful seashore.
Haha!
Hoho!
People in swimsuits were having fun in the water. Looking around, the Hero pulled on a hat summoned from nowhere and walked along the sandy shore.
And it wasnt just a walk. So, having walked some distance, he stopped beside an elf lying in the shade under a beach umbre.
Elfheim. As expected, youre here.
I know this elf too. The pitiful Third King of the Elves, making his descendants suffer! Turning his gaze from the coast, he answered with a wide smile on his face.
Oh! What is the Hero, busy with official affairs, doing on this beautiful beach? It seems that the Seventh Summit on the reunification of elves and humans will begin only in two days.
The Elven King held a nk expression on his face. The man asked in a desperate tone.
I know it, butput it off, please, for a day.
Its easy to say. This summit should finally help end all grievances between both races, so it is extremely important. Although this is an informal negotiation, it will bring together important people representing great nations and races. Ask them to wait not an hour, but one day
Sorry.
Are there problems with the family again?
Hah! Your troubles dont end even after you knocked down the Demon Lord.
The third Elven King called the man Hero. We can safely assume that this is the same First Hero.
But here you are, Elfheimyou, before and now, spend time here. Shouldnt the king of the elves work hardest to bring elves and humans back together?
The hero sat down next to the king.
Haha! They pressure me all the time. Every time I want to give up, I visit this little paradise ande to my senses. Oh! I mean the waves.
At this time, the kings gaze moved slowly from left to right. It wasnt hard to guess that he was admiring the human girls walking along the beach.
How beautiful they swing.
Elfheimare you going to keep staring?
Oh! Sorry! Anyway, I get it. To be honest, it is problematic that you are asking to postpone the summit for a day, but admiring these swaying waves, I calmed down. I cant help it! If there is peace in the Heros family, there will be peace in the whole world! Haha!
Thank you for understanding.
After that, the men talked about all sorts of nonsense for a while, and then they moved from the beach to the bar. The slightly drunk Hero took out a brooch from his pocket.
What is that brooch?
When I was a budding mercenary, I spent all my money to buy it for my wife. At the time, I thought it would match her, who was already an experienced mercenary.
So romantic.
I was very young then.
You said it was a gift, so why are you holding the brooch now?
Found itin the bin today.
After that, the men-only drank in silence. But the silence didntst forever.
The elf king, watching the bar worker, with a blushed face and a smile from ear to ear, asked.
This broochare you going to throw it away?
Grabbing the brooch with both hands, the Hero replied.
I dont know. I kept it a secret from my proud wife, but this brooch protects whoever wears it.
Really? Have you sacrificed some of your power to do this?
I wanted to ask it for my daughter, but it turns out to be a treasure. This is not the kind of thing that you can get rid of so easily
Take it.
The First Hero handed the brooch containing his power to the Third King of the Elves. His voice was calm as if he had let go of something.
Really?
Yes. You said youd give her to your daughter, didnt you? I set it up so that the effect will only work on a member of your bloodline. Take this as an apology for postponing such an important summit because of me.
If you say so
The brooch that the First Hero presented his wife went into the Third King of the Elves pants.
Why not in your pocket?
Then it became dark as if the y hade to an end and the curtain had dropped.
*
I blinked a couple of times and slowly looked around. We were in the dense forest right above the hidden auction. I seemed to have safely returned to the fantasy world.
Hero-savage? Why did you suddenly throw the Artifact away?!
Because its an abomination.
This brooch was in the king of the elves pants. If I didnt know about it, it would be okay, but I didnt want to touch it anymore after I found out.
How can you talk about heirloom in such a way before a descendant! Heaven will punish you! Savage Hero!
So you didnt see anything?
She didnt seem to see that video.
What?
Nothing.
This brooch wasnt always sealed. But it was true that its effect only worked in the hands of a royal family member. However, genes dontst forever. If this wasnt only marriage between close rtives, then nothing could be done about the fact that with each generation, the blood of the ancestors weakened.
Now the bloodline had weakened, so direct blood contact with the brooch was required for activation.
Thief E.
If you want to apologize, then I ept your apology, said Thief E sullenly, picking up the brooch I had thrown away from the grass.
Forget about the apology.
Then why did you call me?
Where are the rest of the collected Chaos Artifacts? Apart from this brooch, I think you said that you have already collected four?
It cannot be said with sovereignty that each Artifact could demonstrate to me such a video. But it seemed to me that there was a high probability. If I watch these videos, I might find a way to escape from the fantasy world or find some kind of guiding thread that can shock the entire teaching staff.
Thief E replied without knowing the intention of my question.
They are on the southern continent.
The whole southern continent is your home or what?
I cant tell you more. You can use psychological tricks on me or even torture me like Sylvia, but the question here is the well-being of my beloved family, so I will never reveal this to you. At least until Im sure, I can trust you.
Thief E was determined. How tiring it was.
And I didnt sell you to a human noble who would like a house-elf for himself.
I am grateful for it now. But in such aplex world, I dont want to endanger my family with hasty decisions. I hope you understand this, even if you are unpleasant and sad about it.
Oh well. Lets slowly learn to trust each other.
It had been a long time since I did this. A good way to check if my abilities are rusty.
Are you serious?!
Why are you so surprised? You are the one who said that we need to trust each other?
It is, butI thought, since you are a Hero-savage, you would trample my dignity and by any means get to the bottom of the truth.
Ha! I am a fair Hero.
I dont use such dirty methods.
?Question: Really? I didnt know about that!
Miss Trainee. But now you know.
Thief E deceived me with her fake breasts, but I can forgive her because of her sheer beauty. After all, she didnt do any serious harm to me. I also understand why she doesnt want to talk about the whereabouts of her beloved family.
This isnt to call it hostility or denial of assistance. Am I wrong?
?Answer: You are right! Its good if the senior colleagues appreciate your understanding, Cadet Kang Han Soo. I feel bad about it.
Everything is fine, Impartial Miss Trainee! Its just thatter I will get everything with interest!
Build a trusting rtionship with the Savage Hero?
You dont want it?
Oh no! I think this is a good idea! But how?
Ill reveal first.
Mmm?
She had not only small breasts but also a brain, so I had to exin everything in detail.
Miss Thief. My family lives in a different world, so even if I tell you the address, it wont prove anything. Therefore, instead of a family, as a sign of trust, I will introduce you to my respected teacher.
Teacher of the Savage Hero?
Yes.
Oh my God! How terrifying he is thenI cant even imagine.
The Righteous Hero and the dummies went to the vige where Master Mon lived.
Chapter 117: Thank you!
Chapter 117: Thank you!
Sir Hero! A call for help was heard from the other side!
Its your imagination, Lanuvel.
Our path was the same as in the 2nd ythrough. Using the Magic Circle of Spatial Transfer in the capital of the Dumpling Kingdom, we instantly found ourselves in another city. A voice asking for help?
What nonsense.
It had only been 1 hour since we left the pce of the Dumplings Kingdom and went on a journey, and yet something already happened? This cannot be. Its not like the righteous hero is an infectious disease.
Its true! continued the capricious Lanuvel, stamping her feet. I also knew that soon she would fall, saying that her feet hurt.
Hmm. Hero, I think I heard too.
I heard it too, Hero Savage.
The Porter and Thief E also decided to intervene.
Oh you! And how can you call yourselfpanions of a just Hero? You were bribed by Lanuvel pretending to be cute!
Lanuvel never bribed yourpanions! And Im cute from birth!
Shut up!
This is only the 4th day. Lanuvel only said this once in y 9, but Ive said it a hundred times to her in the other eight versions. Is this the power of repetitive study? Every day Lanuvel annoys me more and more.
?Question: Shouldnt you have got used to it?
Miss Trainee. If only it were that simple.
Listen. You dummies have a level below 300, and I am a transcendental being whose level has exceeded 999. Who do you think has the best hearing? If I havent heard anything, then there is nothing there. You are just newbies who have developed auditory hallucinations due to excess heroism. Got it?
Please save me!
Help!
The journey of the Heros group was very calm!
We raced on horses purchased from the city stable. Of course, I would like to spread the wings of a just Hero and fly in a straight line, but I endured it because the goal of the 9th passage was graduation. If I were in a hurry, I would already be on my way to destroy the Demon Lord.
Combat Strength, Achievements, Reputation, Personality. All four assessments must be kept in harmony. If even one of them is below average, I wont be able to graduate. Combat power umted every time I returned, so I didnt need to worry about it now, but the other three should have been given special attention.
Especially the Personality point.
I still dont know the assessment criteria. Even a Hero with 25 years of experience didnt have such knowledge.
?Proposal: There is such a proverb. No matter how excellent the horse is, it still needs to be urged on. I know you are amazing, but how about listening to a little to near-minded people?
Miss Trainees proposal made sense. But the point is, theres no problem that I couldnt solve. With Hiplias help, I could revive the dead. Heck, I could even reconcile a couple who quarreled endlessly, making them inseparable doves.
Let me think then.
If I resurrect his child at the request of Viger A, then Viger B will also ask for the same. So the rumors will spread, and the same will be wanted by Citizen C from the neighboring settlement, and Citizen D will also send a messenger to request the same services. You couldnt help them all.
I cannot save everyone. And those whom I cannot help will be offended by that. They will begin to criticize my Personality, because of which Achievements and Reputation will also suffer. On the contrary, what was Hero Sieg like? Because of his ipetence, he was constantly at the limit.
But no matter how bad he was, the inhabitants of the fantasy world praised and thanked him for his efforts. How crazy it all was!
?Complexity: It is a difficult task
Miss Trainee. Dont rack your brains over this. Otherwise, you will get tired.
Ku-Ku!
Gu-Gu!
The wild fantasy world was inhabited by orcs who always tried to interfere with my adventures, but not today. Divinity? Dark Energy? Holy Sword? Magic? Companions? All this was unnecessary.
Spirits, its time to pay rent. Deal with them.
If the Spirits stuck to my body tried even a little, the orcs would instantly turn into a handful of ash.
Nu-Nu~?!
Bu-Buuu~?!
The Spirits of the Earth plunged the orcs feet into the ground while the Spirits of Fire beautifully roasted them with a me. The Spirits of the Wind made sure that the smell of how they roasted didnt spread far, and the Spirits of Water washed away the embers left behind. Finally, the Spirits of the Ether prayed for repose for the souls of the orcs.
All this took about three seconds.
I dont understand why such innocent Spirits follow the Savage Hero. What good is this self-confident and ignorant man?
Ask them yourself.
I just gave up when they replied that they like everything
Thief E was used to walking on her own feet, so she didnt learn to ride a horse. I had to seat her behind Lanuvel. I refused her impudent offer to embrace me without a moments hesitation. From that moment on, she began to grumble.
Whats wrong?
Think about what people will think when they see two girls sitting on a horse together while a healthy guy rides alone. They will get it wrong.
And if, on the contrary, is everything okay?
Then they would take us for spouses or lovers.
My ancestors said, the instinct that men and women want to be together is natural like the earth and the sea meet together. I look too inconspicuous next to this archaeologist. How can I, a representative of noble elven blood, be less attractive than a simple human girl. Why does God give preference to people?
Be more confident in yourself.
Hmph!
Youre more attractive than Lanuvel?
As soon as I saw the face of Lanuvel, who was pretending to be cute, anger boiled in me. If you justpare them, then Thief E was closer to my preferences.
Do you think so?
And what benefit is it to me to lie to you?
To gain trust.
I said Id introduce you to my respected teacher. Complimenting a womans appearance is like a greeting at a party. Trusting rtionships are built on this.
Lanuvel tilted her head.
Hmm? Sir Heros teacher?
Didnt I say?
No! Didnt speak at all!
I said that we are going to a meeting with the Great Being.
But you didnt say it was your teacher.
Now you know.
Sir Hero! Lanuvel thinks lying isnt good! A Hero who was summoned to the Continents of Fantasy less than five days ago cannot have any teacher here!
Lanuvel was right. During the 2nd ythrough, I just ignored herints, but it might get in the way of Thief Es trust, so I decided to exin.
Our connection with the teacher was established even before I arrived here. Lanuvel, you can hardly understand this with your bad head.
Ooh
Discussing this and that, we arrived at our destination: the vige where Master Mon lives. Such ces could be counted on one hand, but this vige was calm, unlike other ces in the wild fantasy world. This is because a Great Being lives here.
Porter, that building over there is a local inn. Leave the tired horses in the stable and take the rooms. Single and triple.
Eh? Not two doubles?
What for?
You and I are in the same room, and Lanuvel and Illina are in the other room. Isnt that right?
The Porter, who almost lost his life during the 2nd ythrough, was quite smart, but in the 9th ythrough, he was slow-witted.
Who pays for the trip?
You, Hero.
Then, Porter, lets think logically as you say. I have funds, and I also have to pay for your convenience, although you dont have money for that? This isntmunism Hmm. If you have any objections, you can sleep outside. Ill save money this way.
No!
The porter rushed at full speed towards the hotel while I went to the vige elders house. Lanuvel and Thief E followed me in silence.
It was now a hot summer afternoon. At this time, it was difficult to even nce at the shadow of a person. The vigers finished all their work in the fields during the cool morning and stayed home to avoid the sun. And from the windows of their houses, they nced at us.
?Expectation: This is where the one who taught you that rogue technique lives here? I look forward to meeting him.
Heh! Miss Trainee, you will respect him too.
Hey, dummies. I will show you my connection with the teacher. Dont get in the way and just watch.
I was about to dust off the luxurious clothes I was wearing but realized that the Spirits of the Wind had already cleaned everything. They were smart. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door of the vige elders house.
Knock, knock.
Excuse me, but who are you? I heard a familiar voice from within.
Fifteen years have passed since the second encounter during the 2nd ythrough, but this third encounter wasnt unusual. Although for this girl, it may be alien.
I came to see the rainbow-colored slime that young miss is growing. I promise I wont do any harm.
Squeak-
The door opened carefully. The girl, holding the slime to her with both hands, asked.
Who are you, and why were you looking for our Mon?
Mon? Master Mon stirred in the girls arms. As great as he is, he doesnt remember me either. This indifference disappointed me.
About sixteen years ago, I received a blessing from your friend. So I came to repay him for it.
Sixteen years?! Wow! So Mon is so many years old!
Mon? Great Teacher. I understand your feelings due to misunderstandings about age but stop ignoring me. Those two behind me are looking at me suspiciously.
Sir Hero. Sixteen years ago?
The Teacher of the Savage Herois so cute.
At this time, a voice rang out from inside the house: Its not tidy enough in here to meet such important guests bute in anyway.
Still, we werent considered thieves and were invited into the house. Although Lanuvel and Thief E were dressed like vagabonds, I was dressed from head to toe like aristocrats.
And another reasonthey dont want to bother aristocrats. This was the principle of ordinary people living in a wild fantasy world where ss society was strictly observed. If you understand this, then you have be an adult.
But the girl who opened the door for us was still young, so she greeted us innocently.
Wee to our vige! Mon, you say hello too!
Mon? Mon!
We entered the vige elders house. You have to make rtionships by yourself.
*
The movements of Master Mon, who swayed from side to side for days on end, are truly profound. Because with just one movement, he expressed the most important things. This was different from the tangled skills of the fantasy world. I needed to fully understand this.
Cough, cough!
I almost fell into a stupor, spitting blood and falling t on the grass. Fifteen years had passed since the second teaching, and now my body had an affinity with nature, so I suppose that the third time should have more results.
It was right until this.
Mon Mon~
Master Mon, lying on top of me, looked at thendscape. He was very rxed as he achieved everything.
Master Mon. There are no clues on how to cross this insurmountable wall?
MonMon?!
Scolding me, suddenly, Master Mon crawled inside my trousers. The reason was simple.
Sir Hero. Have you seen Mon?
Because of Lanuvel, who got him.
No, I havent.
Its strange. I heard he went for a walk with youif you find Mon, let Lanuvel know. Okay?
Hey, Sir Hero? Are you listening to me?
Yeah
Ooh. Where did Mon go
Lanuvel left, leaving me alone with Master Mon.
Mo, Mon?
A smile appeared on my face as the slime crawled out of its hiding spot.
? Race: Natural Human
? Level: 2765
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Spirit MAX, Blessing MAX, Taming SS, Inspiration SS, S
? Condition: Holy Sword, Holy Woman, Magic Sword, Sage
The ck Box rose to rank S was a great achievement, but more important was the growth that didnt show up in Status.
Is this all?
Thank you, Master Mon!
Mon Mon~
Chapter 118: It’s easy, isn’t it?
Chapter 118: Its easy, isnt it?
I couldnt see the progress of the ck Box mastery like the other skills, but it felt like the A-rank froze at 99.99%. Up to A-rank, the skill increased quite normally, but it was as if an invisible wall was blocking it.
And finally, I understood the reason. I thought ck Box was amon skill, assuming that the First Hero developed this power. That was a mistake. The First Hero was also a student of Fantasy in the past. He, like me, used the power of the Status and was constrained by his level and skills. So he invented this skill and fled.
Of course, there had to be something that allowed the current rules to be ignored.
I looked at everything too lightly.
I became nervous because the easy thing didnt work well, but Master Mon showed me the right path. My soul and body calmed down my mind clearing. My worries washed away.
And then the solution that I couldnt see before began to form in my mind. And here was the result of it.
? Type: Skill
? Name:
? Rank: S
? SS:
? S: Record.
? A: Confuse the target.
? B: Destroy the target.
? C: Consign the target to oblivion.
? D: Immunity to Chaos.
? E: Immunity to destruction.
? F: Immunity to oblivion.
The S-rank effect of the ck Box, which was covered by the mosaic, was revealed to me.
Record. Judging by the previous order of effects, I thought it would have something to do with oblivion, but apletely different effect appeared. I was supposed to react like, What does this record mean? But I already knew the answer.
The Chaos Artifact was created with this effect, wasnt it?
The technique of sealing ones power in an object was like recording on a tape. Its simr to a magic square, but it can be created unlimitedly with a medium that you bought. But this power is different.
The only problem was that when you create each such item, you lose your strength. To do this, you need to be ready to be weaker. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that the first Heros brooch gave to his wife was a part of himself.
And the conclusion
I dont need this S-rank effect. I dont want to share my power with anyone. Although it would be possible to give a gift to my parents, unfortunately, it was impossible to meet with them now.
Miss Trainee. There is no delivery service here, right?
?Confirmation: Of course not!
I would create a tennis racket, put the power of the ck Box into it, and send it to my parents. It will be difficult to conquer the whole world with its help, but superiority at the national level would be quite possible.
When I thought about it, a good idea popped into my head. If I get good grades this time and return to Earth, then its okay, but I need to keep a backup n in mind if I fail. I will ask for help from someone.
?Question: To whom?
Good question, Miss Trainee.
On Earth, I met the Old Prince. He was able to escape the fantasy world on his own. When the Old Prince was hammered by a female Golem and weakened, I asked him
And was surprised by the Old Princes way.
?Interest: What is it?
If you promise not to tell the faculty, Ill tell you.
?Oath: I swear I will keep it a secret!
Good decision, my secret friend! The Earth and the Fantasy dimension are linked by the ck Box.
What does it mean? The probability that two people from different gxies of the limitless universe will meet again approached zero. But what happens if you tie these people with a strong thread that will never break? With such a thread, they will find each other.
But this was easier said than done. If people were connected through a huge space by a thread, it wouldntst even a second. Space is expanding, and dark matter hasnt been properly investigated at all. It would seem that no thread would be capable of such a connection.
But what if there was? ck Box ignored all such rules. This is the unbreakable thread.
?Admiration: Incredible!
With the help of the transcendental skill, Injection, the Old Prince went hunting for the power of chaos scattered across the continents of Fantasy. And then he returned, following the same thread. I want to use his same method.
?Note: But cadet Kang Han Soo, isnt the Old Prince dead?
Oho! Miss Trainee, you say such terrible things! The old Prince isnt dead.
He became my experience points and will live forever. A beautiful mermaid remained on Earth, which the Old Prince treated so well. Maybe there are other survivors too. If they are bound by the ck Box, there is another opportunity for the Old Prince to return to Earth.
I had hope. First, send the Old Prince to Earth, and then track his ck Box and return me.
Well thats something to think about if I fail the 9th ythrough.
So far, everything had been going smoothly for me. If this continued, there should be no problem with the release. Then there will be no need to risk using such untested escape routes.
Im a coward, after all.
? Embarrassment: Youre just very careful
In any case, I experienced further growth that didnt show up in my Status: mainly, the evolution of my body. The most important example was the wings of a just Hero. Falling straight into the Pacific Ocean when the Old Prince and I shed again in battle, I was at a disadvantage.
I needed the wings. Then, I decided to create wings, and my body reacted to them.
If I dont want this, my lower body wont move even from the softest touch of the most incredible beauty, but I couldnt stand the touch of Master Mon even for one second. This is simply impossible.
But it is a cold-blooded reality.
Puduk-puduk.
I rebuilt my body. A terrible sound emanated from each bone, but if this way I can be stronger, then its nothing. Even without the skills of the fantasy world, I must ovee the Five Disasters without any problems. More samples of strong creatures will be needed.
I need Noebiuss help.
The King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. My dear friend had strong scales and deadly poison. I wouldnt want to disturb him in his old age, but he was the only strong being nearby.
At that time
MOLLAN?
Master Mon began to sway from side to side.
Hmm? Teacher. Are you so d were leaving soon?
MOLLAN, MOLLAN!
As if confirming this, he continued to swing.
Ha
I was so upset that I let out a heavy sigh, but bI could understand his relief because of Lanuvels actions in recent days.
*
We spent six days in the vige where Master Mon lived. After that, I followed the same route as in the 2nd ythrough.
Kuku!
Bu-Buu!
We headed towards the settlement where the Orcs lived, whose average level was 50. Even if I ignore something or pass by, it wont affect my reputation, achievements, or personality in any way, but there was a knight from the guard of the king of elves wife.
I didnt want to interfere with the elf, who decided to devote herself to sensual pleasures with the orcs, but during the 2nd ythrough, we couldnt talk, so I had little information about the situation. If I save her, maybe there will be some hidden event?
I was curious, so I decided to intervene.
What will the event be? If I graduate this time, I will not know anything. I dont think anyone will be among the graduates on Earth who know anything about this event. Because at this time, ordinary Heroes became a punching bag for Alex.
Hero! Its full of orcs!
Well deal with that!
Ill join too, Hero Savage.
I didnt dissuade them. The spirits that harassed my body every day could have dealt with it in no time, but if the dummies had such a low level, they would only slow me down. They must be at a level that they could defend themselves.
I think they should have at least level 500
If you are traveling with an S-rank Hero, then your level should be at least this high.
TuTu~?!
JuJuu~?!
The trio very quickly dealt with the orcs in the forest. A porter with good spear skill and a level of almost 300 easily exterminated the orcs of level 50. Lanuvel burned them with magical mes, but it was annoying how she spent time in the middle of a fight to act cute.
Thief E was the most outstanding.
Come to the call of Elfheim! Greatest Magic Sword!
It wasnt an Artifact of Chaos, but a Magic Sword passed down in her family from generation to generation. The de of the sword was covered with Dark Energy, and the dagger from her belt was covered with snow-white Divinity.
In the right hand is Dark Energy. On the left is Divinity. Since Thief E didnt have ck Box, she couldnt mix the two powers, but because of the Chaos race, she could use them separately. Usually, you had to choose one.
I was genuinely surprised.
You have an amazing ability to waste energy so stupidly!
She was fighting normal level 50 orc scouts, but she was already putting so much effort into it. If she had the Infinity skill like I did, it would be understandable, but Thief E was an ordinary inhabitant of this world and not the same as Hiplia.
I can deal with it!
Oh! I love your grit.
Then you have to kill about 500 thousand orcs. I will pray that you have enough strength.
? Embarrassment: Kang Han Soo, isnt that more than the 2nd ythrough?
Miss Trainee, youre careful. About 100 times that much, isnt it?
I am only training them so that they wouldnt die from the poisonous breath of my dearpanion King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. Therefore, I roughly estimated
The three of them needed to catch about 500 thousand orcs each.
Wow! The hero considers you a simple Porter, but your mastery of the spear is amazing!
Haha! Im ttered. After all, you, Miss Lanuvel, arent only an archaeologist but also an outstanding magician. Oh! Of course, Illina is also just incredibly wielding twin des.
Enough speeches. Wellalthough youre pretty strong too.
They made such a big deal of dealing with regr Orc scouts. It felt unpleasant to watch them try to praise each other. So, I decided to cheer them up a bit.
Tomorrow, we will be fighting one of the Five Disasters, so persevere in your skills and levels.
What?
Huh? Pardon?
What did you say?
Isnt ten days enough to kill an Ancient Dragon? The sess rate was confirmed on the 2nd ythrough, and my situation was much better now since the number of assistants increased from two to three. With these, you could bring down the Demon Lord Pedonar.
?Embarrassment: Fewpanions can meet your criteria, cadet Kang Han Soo.
Oho! Miss Trainee. This S-rank hero will lead by example.
Follow me. Ill show you how to level up quickly.
Taking the dummies with me, we approached the orc settlement. Here lived male orcs and an elf who monopolized their love and attention. We passed through an inconspicuous wooden fence and prated deep into the settlement.
CuCu.
VuVu.
The orcs passing by couldnt find us. The race of orcs with a pig nose had a well-developed sense of smell. Therefore, they blindly believed in their sense of smell. Just as the sentry soldier believed in his eyes and ears, the orcs reacted only to the enemies they could smell.
I took advantage of this weakness. Thanks to the Spirits of the Wind, our smell evaporated upward, bypassing the orcs. No need to get dirty with orc blood like in the 2nd ythrough. Thanks to this, we could get to the leaders log house without ever getting caught.
HuHu!
Sob, sob!
Inside the log house, an orc and an elf were engaged in merging their two races. Unlike the chilly street, it was quite hot inside.
? Race: Orc
? Level: 387
? Specialization: Chief (Leadership = Tribe)
? Skills: Combat B, Leadership C, Hand-to-Hand D, Resistance D, Endurance E
? Condition: Excited
As far as I remember, the skills of the Orc chieftain hadnt changed, like the elf whoy under his huge carcass.
Sir Hero! We need to save soonHmph!
Lanuvel, if you dont shut up right now, Ill trade you with that elf.
We quietly left the orc settlement. I started the briefing.
The reason I brought you with me and brought you inside isnt intelligence. Shut up and listen carefully. If you want to level up quickly, you need to be dexterous in hunting. Ill show you an example of how to end the hunt quickly without endangering the elf.
I summoned the Lightsaber in my right hand as I exined kindly.
You need to apply a horizontal swing. You have only to cut the air at the waist level of the orcs. You dont have to aim for the heart or throat. The orc will die if you cut it in half~.
I invested experience points into it.
Level 2765 Level 2665
A bright green glow burst out. Then I made a horizontal swing with the sword at the orcs waist level.
Level 2665 Level 2813
Wooden fence, lookout towers, barracks, and orcs. Everything was beautifully cutall but the elf, lying in an obscene position. And the levels that I spent on it recovered instantly.
Sir Hero?
Huhu, huhuhu!
How is this possible?
The dummies reacted differently. With facial expressions like that, they would make greatedians. I dispelled the sword.
Well, how is it? Easy, isnt it?
There was no answer. Everything seemed to be so easy and understandable that they had no questions.
Chapter 119 - Queen’s Guard Knight
Chapter 119 - Queens Guard Knight
We went proceeding into the settlement of the orcs. The orcs I took the experience points from disappeared without a trace, leaving behind not even a single drop of blood. Usually, the bodies would stay for a while, but since I took their experience, they could not maintain their shape.
NuNu~?!
The orcs who went to sleep during the day or were lying down to rest were lucky to stay alive. But think for yourself. All their fellow tribesmen who were nearby werepletely exterminated. The frightened orcs immediately fled in fear.
We were able to arrive without any special barriers at the log house of the orcs leader, where an elfy under the wooden rubble. Real gentlemen would help ady first, but its hardly expected from orcs.
Miss elf, are you okay?!
Well save you now!
Well, of course, the Hero-Savage
The group quickly removed the debris, and the sprawling elf was rescued. She wasnt wearing a single piece of clothing, and her whole body was covered in mud.
Ssh-
The spirits of Water adhered to my body helped wash it away. With the water created in the air, they enveloped her body and then began to unwind as if she had fallen into the drum of a washing machine.
Powerful wash!
This process was so fast that the elf didnt even have time to drown.
Hwaruru-!
The Spirits of Fire then set fire to the logs of the destroyed house to warm the soaked elf. The rest of the dummies went through the same process.
Hey, why do we need
Thief E decided to express their dissatisfaction for everyone when the Spirits poured water on her too. Then the Porter took a woolen nket out of hisrge sack and handed it to the naked elf. But even after being washed from dirt, the appearance left much to be desired.
If you are dealing with such rude creatures as orcs, then the skin can be severely damaged. Theck of nutrients was also affecting her. Fragile from birth, the elf didnt normally eat, so she became thin as a reed. I couldnt find any excess flesh on her form.
The elf sent gratitude with her eyes.
? Race: Elf
? Level: 892
? Specialization: Tamer (Taming = Experience )
? Skills: Breeding S, Taming A, Empathy B, Gathering C, Spirit D
? Condition: Curse, Exhaustion, Dislocations, Fractures, Confusion
Her terrible condition was simr to that of the 2nd ythrough. But thats not a problem for me.
Hiplia.
We will now go to meet my dearpanion King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. We had no time to return to the vige to take care of the unimportant elf. Fortunately, there are no such traumas that the Saint couldnt heal. If only there were payment.
? Race: Elf
? Level: 872
? Specialization: Tamer (Taming = Experience )
? Skills: Breeding S, Taming A, Empathy B, Gathering C, Spirit D
? Condition: Astonishment
Her broken bones and torn skin were healed. We didnt feed her, but she even put some weight. A saint could revive a person who lost their heart, so this was easy for her. However, she couldnt solve congenital defects.
Th-thanks
The elf tamer, with a bewildered expression, bowed to express her gratitude.
If you are grateful, tell me something.
Can I get dressed first?
Due to the reddened face of the elf and her request, the conversation had to be postponed. Her original clothes were no longer a fit, as the orc had ripped off herbat uniform from the days when she was a knight and a servant who protected the wife of the elf king.
But there was nothing to worry about, as her physique was almost the same as Thief Es. For Thief E, the S-Rank Heros Companion, many outfits were prepared in the Dumpling Kingdom. The clothes were light and thin, made especially for the elfs dexterous fighting style. And underwear was no exception.
Heyyour underwear is
Shut up! Said Thief E, who had bought underwear at the Lanuvel market the day before the trip.
Her ears turned red. It looked more like a thread with a sesame leaf attached to it than proper underwear. Plus, it was purple.
Well, youre very pathetic. Youre being mean when shes trying topliment you.
Thatthat means you like it?
Thief E pricked up her ears. I didnt answer her question and looked at the others.
You saw my example? Now you raise your level.
If you dont want to die from the poison of the ancient dragon.
*
Even though I said this, I didnt expect significant growth from them. If it were that easy, then I wouldnt suffer so much during the 1st ythrough. Because of their natural talent, the optimistic andzy Heros Companions, instead of grueling training, liked to show off to the weak.
When they meet a serious opponent, they basely attack him in a crowd and then boast: He was incredibly strong, but not our enemy! And they simply distract the weak with beautiful speeches before delivering a sudden blow.
Its unclear who the viin is in this case. These idiots have no such thing as work in their heads.
Miss tamer.
Yes, Hero. Speak.
I ordered the others who hadnt reached level 300 to hunt the orcs, so the tamer and I remained. By this time, the settlement of the orcs had already turned into a dense forest.
Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Ether. The five attributes blended, and the Orc-upiednd returned to its natural state. And the spirits that did their job again stuck to my body
I settledfortably on the chair made by the Spirits of the Earth and asked the elf, who was sitting opposite me on the log:
I heard the essence of what happened from your partner, the archer, but she refused to share the details. So you tell me.
As expected from that naive girl
So you arent naive?
I used to be like that too, but in this awful ce, I learned what despair and humiliation are. Im not brazen enough to hide anything from the savior who awakened me from this nightmare.
I learned something useful. If you save those whose soul and body have been tortured, they are good at cooperating.
?Problem: Its a little
Miss Trainee. Its not my fault.
This is due to the inhabitants of the fantasy world who refuse to cooperate with the Hero who will save their entire world. They flutter their tongues with a smile on their face with the words: Hero. If you fulfill this request, I will tell you a secret. Im tired of this nonsense.
If its one request, they are at least a well-mannered person. Ill-mannered idiots simply drive the Hero crazy, arranging a chain of quests. These bastards have no right to be saved.
And the elf archer was no exception. When I asked her to tell me what happened, she only avoided answering with the words: Thank you for saving me, but I cannot disclose information rted to the royal family.
Of course, I already knew the truth. But this is only due to the knowledge about the future obtained from the regression and not because these selfish and stupid residents cooperated.
Tell me.
But there was a good solution. If someone gets into a situation that people under the age of 19 shouldnt know about, they be amodating to their savior. You need to remember.
Yes. So
The wife of the king of the elves aspired to the world of humans. She was very fond of the culture of humans whose lives were short but energetic. Therefore, she visited the vige of humans, and she didnt hide her long ears.
Elves who choose to live in the human kingdom dont necessarily be ves. There were few such cases. As seen at the ck market auction, most of all, there were ves of the human race because the race didnt y a major role.
Once you are a ve, you are a ve. And that day was the same as the others. The queen left herzy husband, who was toozy not only to train but also to carry out his marital duties, and took a vacation. Of course, the queen couldnt travel alone.
Next to her were the five knights that Elfheim was so proud of.
Earth Knight (Swordsman)
Fire Knight (Mage)
Wind Knight (Archer)
Water Knight (Healer)
Ether Knight (Tamer)
The knights guarding the queen were chosen from among the strongest girls and matched the five attributes of the Spirits. Why didnt they choose men? Because female knights also yed the role of maidservants who, 24 hours a day, recing each other, helped the queen.
So you are the Ether Knight?
Yes.
Are there any more survivors?
Until now, I had gathered two knights: Wind and Ether. All this awakened in me was a desire for collecting.
I dont know. But before we split up, everyone was alive.
Is that so?
I will continue.
In one of the viges of the central continent, the queen met an eloquent man. It was a bard who sang with a guitar in a pub. His song was about an epic story rted to the Demon Lord.
Indeed
I generally understood what had happened.
That wandering bard stuck to the queen with obscene conversations, but instead of irritation, the queen smiled and supported such talk
And then the truth was revealed that she was a queen?
Yes. It was also partly her fault. She was impressed by the stories about the ardent passion and power of the Demon Lord, and she provoked him, saying that he should try to moisten the queens dried up swampI refined the words.
And the words became seeds. The wandering bard turned out to be a follower of demons and reported to the high demon about the appearance of the Elven Queen in the vige. As a result, the Demon won. The knights were defeated, and the queen was kidnapped.
Thats all?
Then it was pretty disappointing.
The Queen has done strange things for a long time. She was a frequent visitor to the ck market auctions, despite the attempts to eliminate the Dark Commerce in our kingdom. The pretext was the peaceful salvation of fellow tribesmen who are sold as ves. But she attended the auction even when it wasnt ves that were being sold there. It seemed like she was looking for something.
Something?
Yes. But I wasnt particrly interested. Perhaps the Knight of Earth, who wasnt very pleased that the queen was traveling through thend of humans, knows something.
The Earth Knightthe swordsman?
Yes. This is apanion whose body is as strong as the earth.
If she says so, then they are somehow connected. That stupid chain quest! I could ask the queen herself, who was building a new love with the Demon Lord, but Id rather leave that option as ast resort.
Where did you see herst time?
She fled east with the Water Knight she always paired with. Due to the sincere request of the queen, whom the demon captured alive, we werent killed, but after that, the demons followers, including the bard, still attacked us. We were weakened by the curse of the demon, so we had no choice but to split up and run in different directions.
I heard the same thing from Archer E. The tirade of the elf tamer was long, but there was a while before the dummies returned, so I decided to be patient.
Thats all?
I will be extremely disappointed if she just ends her speech with thanks. Fortunately, this elf had a conscience.
All I have left after the orcs took everything is insignificant information and my body. If you wish, I can give you this body too, but it was desecrated by the orcs, so you will hardly want
This was a bias, but now I decided to just listen quietly. She said that she had only a little information and her body, but I think that this information will be interesting.
The Heros 25 years of experience hadnt gone anywhere as I expected.
While fleeing the demons followers, I grabbed a dragon egg. On the way, a monster attacked me, and I dropped it, but I remember the location.
Dragon egg? This is a good chance to improve my taming skill
You pass.
What?
That means I like you.
Unlike some, she didnt flutter her tongue in vain. In any case, I decided to adjust the ns.
I would find that egg first.
So, where is it?
Well
After listening to Tamer Es exnations, I imagined a map of the central continent in my head. It wasnt that far.
The only problem is that it is close to the nest of the King Dragon of Oblivion Noebius.
Chapter 120 - Oh…my dear companion!
Chapter 120 - Ohmy dearpanion!
Tamer E, guide me. Why are you looking around? Im talking to you. Oh! Is it because of the name? From today on, you are Tamer E.
Umyes.
So that we dont get bored on the way, tell us how to raise a dragon. Just dont say that when you took the egg, you didnt know what to do with it.
I know, but only a little.
If you choose a creature that personifies the fantasy world, then it is a dragon. On Earth, dragons have been discussed since ancient times, both in the west and in the east, identally confusing the discovered dinosaur skulls with those of a dragon.
Little? That doesnt sound very encouraging.
Tamer E, who was moving towards the ce where she dropped the dragon egg, knew almost nothing about dragons. I hated to say it, but I heard a lot more information about dragons from Lanuvel during the 1st ythrough.
I thought if she was a Tamer, she should know a lot about animals, but this elf knew only a little more than the average person.
And that little was also not very useful information.
Because its a dragon.
Despite my grin, Tamer E was proud of her knowledge. But was it worth being proud of their almostplete absence?
Wind Dragon, Water Dragon, Sea Dragon, Fire Dragon, Earth Dragonthere are many types of dragons, but they are united by the fact that they are carnivores. Therefore, elves, ardent vegetarians, find it difficult to raise dragons. When they be adults, they stop eating ordinary food and absorb natures energy, but the problem is that you need to look for meat before that time. Even if you catch a dragon, it will be very difficult to tame it.
Its impossible because Im an elf! Tamer E said the problem was with the elves vegetarianism.
Do you like to arrange problems for yourself? Eighteen years ago, mypanion was a vicious elf who stuffed their cheeks with meat. The poptions low fertility and severe aging are only because you guys dont mate, right? You dont have any problems with sexual functions.
Well, there is some truth in this, but
Hearing my remark, the elf smiled bitterly.
You seem to want to argue with me. But listen to me. Strength in numbers. To be stronger, a person has to be ready to do anything.
Modern Earth was no different. If you give birth to many children, your taxes will be refunded. All this is expressed in the noble word social security, but in other words, it is just an increase in the birth rate for money.
Although this could be called a corrupt system in which you have to give birth for money, if it werent for this, then everything would be worse. It would be horrible if it werent there.
In the fantasy world, everything is more serious. On Earth, they tried to cover it up with social security, but in the feudal fantasy world, people who dont belong to the aristocracy are forced to give birth without paying any money.
Things were especially bad after the war as young and capable guys died on the battlefield. The problemy not only in farming and public safety but also in the fact that there would be a problem with the countrys military strength in ten years.
To prepare for the future?
You need to give birth to as many as had passed on. This is one of the reasons why I think this world is wild. Because before and after the war, they acted no different from animals.
Hero, it fell into this valley.
While I was lost in thought, we had already arrived at our destination.
It fell from such a height?
Yes. But it shouldnt have broken. Because the shell of a dragon egg is incredibly strong.
Oh my god
Why did I meet such an ignorant Tamer? A simr example is
After a serious ident, the strong bumper of the car wasnt damaged, but the entire force of the impact was transmitted to the passenger inside, which could cause him to suffer even more. As ironic as it may sound, if the car at the impact site ispressed like a sponge, the kic energy from the collision is reduced, providing greater safety for passengers.
There was a great chance that the baby inside the egg could die due to a concussion or cerebral hemorrhage.
Tip: Cadet Kang Han Soo. Sorry to say this, but this is a fantasy world. A dragon egg is not an ostrich egg. The universalws of physics do not apply here!
Aha! As expected from the fantasy world! Miss Trainee! You shouldve said something before!
I dont want to go down this damp gorgeHey, Spirits. Find the dragon egg.
Hero. If you speak with the Spirits in such a demanding toneHm?
Tamer E had a stupid expression on her face.
What? Is this the first time youve seen Spirits working so hard?
No, its not, but
Dont try to figure it out with your little elven head. Especially if you dont even know the reasons for the friendship between Spirits and the Elves.
In this world, nothing happened just like that; there was a reason why some people became intimate with others. They either hadmon interests, or the same goal, or the same homnd
The rtionship between elves and spirits was no exception. Foolish people thought that the noble elves created harmony with nature, so they were close to the spirits. But that was all nonsense.
What is the criterion for nobility? Elves, like humans, form pairs between men and women and give birth to new elves, and they feed on the same. There are vegetarians among humans, so among the nature-loving elves, there are those who mercilessly trample grass and insects.
Wake up from those deceitful illusions.
Since the elves captured the First Spirit, the rest of the spirits were forced to cooperate. Its not like elves are a higher ss than humans.
Curious: Cadet Kang Han Soo. Will you go there again?
Again? Ah, to the First Spirit? I will go to the kingdom of the elves. But not right now. Because first, we need to fix the ws of the 2nd ythrough.
There is a reason the spirits follow me. I dont know why, but it seemed my body smelt good to them. This was likely since my body went through a change in structure from the very foundation.
I was reborn surrounded by the First Spirit and the rest of the spirits of the fantasy world. It would be more miraculous if I were still normal after that.
Oh! We found it, the girl with a green crown on her head reported to me.
This Wind Spirit lived in my right armpit. She looked like a kind girl, but as soon as she saw other spirits approaching my armpit, her face immediately turned to anger. She, like an immoral dictator, monopolized my right armpit.
The Spirit of the Wind was close to the Spirit of Water, which upied my left armpit, but they werent very close with the two spirits living between my legs.
Hero? Is this Spirit
What?
Nothing. I was mistaken. The Queen of Spirits cannot be so sweet and docile
Whatever.
p!
I spread the wings of a just Hero.
What are those terrible wings?!
Only you, looking at them, think that they are terrible. The hero gave you his precious time and exined everything in an essible way, but you still dont understand anything. Lets just leave it as it is.
Oh, okay.
Follow me.
I and Tamer E descended into the valley surrounded by cliffs. Naturally, I flew over the gorge.
Ssh-
Tamer E meanwhile floated down the river, sitting down on arge fish that lived there. It seems, using the Taming skill, she could easily tame the not very smart animals. It was extremely interesting.
Can this be used in war?
I wish I had this opportunity in y 8 when I became the emperor of the northern continent. War always brings sacrifices. Regardless of whatever advantageous position you are in, it is inevitable. There was even a guy who fell down a toilet and died.
I couldnt help it. But if I used animals in the war like how one of the famous rulers on Earth used the squad of elephants in battles, I could reduce the number of casualties in my army. Animals are weak, but monsters
Oh! Is this battle tactic already being used in the southern continent?
Hero! Over there!
I see.
As Tamer E said, although the dragon egg fell from a great height, it looked perfectly intact. Seen from a distance, it was just a round ck stone. But inside hid the most powerful race in the fantasy world.
The size itself was unusual. Lanuvel could be ced in this egg if she curled up into a ball. This species was different from the wyvern, which people use as a vehicle: this at least is a rare evil dragon!
Confusion: Kang Han Soo. It could be a good dragon, right?
Miss Trainee, listen. A good dragon is a dead dragon.
Aside from the treasure of dragons greedy for everything shiny, their bones, scales, skin, and heart are very useful as high-quality materials.
Hmmcan I put it in my storage?
At the Festival of Heroes, I received a 3D spatial storage as an award. No restrictions indicated that I couldnt put living beings there. But after several tests, it turned out that animals and humans have a side effect, which makes them lose their value as living things.
Then what about this egg?
? Race: Dragon Egg
? Level: 358
? Specialization: Mage (Age Magic )
? Skills: Magic B, Stealth D, Survival F
? Condition: Growth
Unless the born child is from the royal family or the aristocracy, he usually has the specialization Unemployed. Monsters and animals are no exception, but the dragons, which were born with a golden spoon in their mouth, were definitely on a different level.
He hadnt been born yet, but he was already at level 358. And the specialization was Mage. The dragons strongest offensive means are its breath and body, but that doesnt mean itcks other skills. Some know how to control spirits or use magic.
On the western continent, there are even dragons whose hobby is collecting and manipting corpses.
So this is a Magic Dragon? With age, this dragon only became stronger. If not destined to fall under the Heros de, such dragons could live up to three thousand years.
Wait
Baby Magic Dragon? I had the feeling that I knew this dragon. After rummaging through my memory, I immediately understood.
Ah! Its that guy!
During the 1st ythrough, due to thepanions who envied the Heros growth, there was one dragon whose experience points and heart I couldnt absorb.
During the 2nd ythrough, due to the umted resentment, I attacked the nest. Still, there I met the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, whose poisonous breath then consumed half of the central continent. After Noebius died a natural death, it seems that this baby immediately took over this nest.
Ten days had passed since the Hero was summoned. I didnt know when my dearpanion might die, but this egg would only hatch after nine years.
Hero. Do you know him?
You dont need to know.
Oh, okay. Butthe egg is too big to carry with you, what will you do? If you allow, I can ask for help from myrades and move him wherever you say.
Move? What for?
Huh?
I just want to break it.
Eh?!
I had no time to wait for it to hatch itself. It would be problematic if there were yolk and white, but if there were even a premature baby there, everything would be fine.
Because Im only driven by curiosity.
If I get tired of growing it, Ill just turn it into experience points. Therefore, I cannot wait several years. But before that
Disassemble.
Puhwaaa-
I activated the ck Box. The skills that could be called the work of my 15-year career were unsealed, and I could now use them. I dont even need 9.99 seconds.
I didnt especially care about it, but if you keep stabbing and cutting people, your Insight skill increases. My current insight is C-rank.
During the 1st and 2nd ythroughs, I often looked for the area between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae of my opponents to strike there, which is why I pumped this skill to S-rank. But from the 3rd ythrough, I hardly did it. I cut them without trying Insight because it was tricky.
I shouldnt have done that.
If I had Insight, then I wouldnt have fallen for Thief Es trick at the auction. If I had revealed the truth right there that she had fake breasts, the bidding for her would have stopped instantly.
Perhaps she would be worth about as much as Sylvia? I still regret it.
Using this skill, I examined the contents of the egg. Arge lizard with closed eyes was sleeping inside.
Good. This means that there will be no problem if its broken now.
I deactivated the ck Box and smiled contentedly. Its a bit small, but its not a raw egg.
Hero. Heaven will punish you for this
Ha! Punish? Let them try. I am a fair S-rank Hero who chopped off the chicken wings of evil angels. So what is the heavenly punishment for meHmm?
It suddenly became dark. Was it because the sun had set?
I involuntarily looked up at the sky and swallowed. While the ck Box was activated, my transcendental skills Divinity and Dark Energy were revealed.
Chaos disturbed the sweet dream of this creature.
Ohmy dearpanion
Chaooooo-!
Haha! This friend, then and now, is pretty shy.
King Dragon of Noebius greeted us with his poisonous breath.
Kwarrrr-!
Chapter 121 - Taekwon (Z)
Chapter 121 - Taekwon (Z)
A ck liquid-like oil hit the ground. Only recently did I confidently dere that I wasnt afraid of heavenly punishment, but now I would like to avoid the deadly poison falling from the heavens. It felt like germs raining on my body.
My movements were quick.
Grabbing the huge egg and throwing it over my right shoulder with my left hand, I grabbed Tamer E by the scruff of her neck.
Kek kek?!
Her throat tightened, and she made strange noises, but wasnt it better than taking a shower in deadly poison? In this state, I spread the wings of a just Hero.
Whing-
And immediately soared into the sky as the deadly poison swept across the earth like a flood. The beautiful gorge turned ck, the animals and nts within darkening with poison and dissolving.
Chaooo!
The Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, is said to be the strongest of the Five Disasters. It took the form of a huge dragon whose body waspletely covered with pitch-ck scales. Every time he pped his huge wings, a hurricane arose, and the ws on both his paws were so huge that they could easily topple a castle.
Such is the Ancient Dragon in theter years of his life. Just looking at him inspired awe! He was very different from the Junior King Dragon of Oblivion raised by the angels as he was at the Heroes Festival.
How could I defeat it? It would be easier to deal with a high-level demon. Ah! The Demon Lord, with its penalty against the Hero, was easier to defeat. My dearpanion stared at me with his ck eyes and frowned, most likely since he didnt see well in his old age.
? Race: Chaos Dragon
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Supreme Ruler (Conquests Morale )
? Skills: Chaos SS, Destruction SS, Oblivion SS, Morale S, Deadly Poison S
? Condition: Anger, Excitement, Withering
It had been fifteen years since we met, but his skills remained the same as I remembered them in the 2nd ythrough. He didnt have a single transcendental skill, but the race and level more than covered all this.
Indeedits incredible.
I could see more as I grew. During the 2nd ythrough, I was able to bring down the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. But to be more precise, due to his age, he didnt have enough stamina, and it was more like self-destruction.
So it was hard to call it a real victory, and I only used the Elemental Sword Endymion to finish off the dying dragon. It could be said that he died of old age during acupuncture.
p! p! p!
Noebius pped three pairs of wings andunched an attack. It seemed as if a high-rise building was flying at me. However
Poor eyesight
Noebius was unable to fly straight, his trajectory shifting slightly. It was like the huge truck heading straight for you passed by you to the side, but Noebiuss body was so huge that it was almost impossible to dodge.
Think for yourself. How can you avoid a tsunami?
Thud!
I hit the huge ck wall and was tossed to the side. If we had a simr build, I would have won easily.
Its a simple principle because my muscles have surpassed human limits. Such transformations were the result of the teachings of Master Mon. But the difference in weight yed a big role.
Absolute strength is directly rted to the cross-sectional area of the muscles. I have developed my muscles to extreme values, but when the difference in cross-sectional area is more than 100 times, then its apletely different story.
When you have such destructive power in front of you, there can be no talk of efficiency.
? Rapture: Unbelievable. His skills are simr to those of the other Five Disasters, but the difference inbat power is enormous.
Of course. Miss Trainee. It wasnt for nothing that I recognized him as apanion.
Oh my
After flying some distance in a somersault, I came to a stop, regaining my bnce. And this wasnt the easiest achievement because, from the wings of Noebius alone, a hurricane arose. Its very existence was a real disaster.
Hence it reached the rank of the Five Disasters.
Hey. Are you okay?
Tamer E didnt answer; Her limbs hung limply by her side. She seemed to have broken her neck from the recent blow.
But it was a relief.
Level 2813 Level 2833
Because it turned out as if I killed her, her experience points werepletely transferred to me. Only this growth didnt please me very much.
Because even after absorbing 100% of the level 800 elfs experience points, my level only went up by 20? It seemed that with such a high level, conventional hunting would no longer help.
Due to theck of fair game.
? Race: Natural Human
? Level: 2833
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Spirit MAX, Blessing MAX, Taming SS, Inspiration SS, Endurance S
? Condition: Holy Sword, Saint, Magic Sword
Im superior to Noebius when ites to the skill ranks. But the problem was that the skillposition was simr to the weak elves. Strength and endurance are S rank on averageit didnt grow higher from that.
Take this and step back.
Yes, master.
I left the dragon egg and the dead Tamer E to the Saint H and looked at my circlingrade. It seemed as if a volcano had uprooted and was now floating in the air.
Good opportunity.
Every free minute you need to prepare for the future. Someday the day wille when I willpletely lose my fantasy world skills. And in such unfavorable conditions, I will fight the ves of the fantasy God who abuses those skills.
Would I be able to win then?
And the ck Box was no exception. When I didnt know anything, I just used it whenever I wanted. But in the cave, the priestess told me that the First Hero invented this power. The Old Prince said the same thing.
To be honest, I didnt care. The fact that he invented it doesnt mean that he patented it.
But recently I changed my mind. In that video recorded in the Chaos Artifact, the First Hero attuned to this power, enclosed in a brooch once given to his wife. So that only the descendants of the pathetic Third Elven King can use it
And that means a lot.
Chaooooo-!
Tsk. You dont give me any time to think calmly.
It is difficult now to say that the ck Box is my strength. Theres a possibility that the First Hero could control everything. I cannoty my life on such an unreliable force; I can only believe in myself.
Now is a good time to experiment.
How will it go when one of the Five Disasters is my target?
? Race: Natural Human
? Level: 2833
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: S, Interpretation A
? Condition: Magic Sword, Saint
Presumably created by the First Hero, I sealed the Holy Sword and the skills I ced in the ck Box. My body instantly became lethargic.
Then again
Thud-!
I collided with Noebius and circled through the air before falling. Since I sealed the defensive skills, the damage was even greater. Several ribs were broken.
End of experiment. Sorry for the reckless daring. Its hard to even call it a battle!
Chaooo?
Without even noticing that he had touched me with his body, the blind Ancient Dragon, who was circling in the air once more, was looking for me. It seems that he couldnt find me since I was too small.
Ah! Due to poor eyesight, he can only track my energy. But
nce! nce! nce! nce! nce!
The spirit of the Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Ether, stuck to my body.
The energy I radiated was pretty strong.
Chaooo!
As expected, the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, found me. He no longer used sight but simply tracked energy thanks to years of experience. Then he opened his mouth, aiming at me.
Oh my god!
In a hurry, I invested experience points in the Magic Sword.
Bang!
ck and green energies collided in the sky, causing a big explosion. The winner was visible.
Chaooo-!
Without antibodies that eliminate poison, I would have died
During the 2nd ythrough, I actively produced antibodies in my body to survive the poisonous breath of the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. And now it was the same. Leukocytes produced from the bone marrow inrge quantities, using phagocytosis, created antibodies that eliminated the deadly poison.
But my body was still badly frayed. I could withstand the deadly poison of the King Dragon, but the physical damage was significant; it was as if a huge water cannon struck me. My whole body ached and screamed.
Through the torn clothes, the spirits looked at me intively, as if trying to say: We can help!
No. Dont get involved.
Up to this point, I have constantly retreated due to the difference in the weight ss, but I also had an unusual body.
Sururu, Wooduk, Bbuduk
The broken bones healed, snapping into ce as drooping tendons pulled tight. I realized that I had no chance of sess if we faced off like that again.
Then
Thud! Pook-
I learn from my mistakes. Confronting Noebius once more, I didnt lose my focus and moved my wings adroitly. Like sticking a piton between a rock while rock climbing, I hooked my wings on the scales of his front wing.
I didnt fall and hung there.
Chaooo?!
Realizing this, the Dragon tried to kick me off with his paws. But I also predicted that.
I made a new bond as I unhooked from Noebiuss wing and jumped to another body part. The principle was the same as in rock climbing.
It felt like Id be Spider-Man.
I soon reached the base of his wing, where the dragon couldnt reach me. First, I need to take away this insane speed, so I put experience points back into the Magic Sword.
Ill cut off his wing nicely!
Boong-
But my blow cut only the air. And the reason was simple.
Polymorphism.
Like a kumiho [Note: Fox spirit], transforming into a human, a dragon with certain skills could also change race. Many dragons pretend to be young humans, but Noebius acted as his age.
This image hasnt appeared for a long time, came a solid male voice.
But his form wasnt entirely human. His skin was gray, and his pupils were in the form of a ck vertical line, like a reptile. A ck, curved horn pierced the center of his forehead. He was naked, but the important parts of his body were covered with scales.
Three pairs of wings hung down, covering his back like an imperial mantle, and arms and legs like a carnivorous dinosaur peaked out from underneath.
Are you, Noebius? I asked doubtfully, descending to the ground burned by deadly poison.
Yes, Hero of Chaos.
The transformed Noebius replied in the affirmative. He had such arge physique that I had to crank my head to look at him. He had deep wrinkles on his forehead, which spoke of the severity of his years.
But he didnt give off the impression of an old man.
Every time he made any movement, all his muscles moved, and his beard, which had grown down past his chest, was ck. But there was a reason why I couldnt believe my eyes.
His Status.
? Race: Chaos Dragonian
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Supreme Ruler (Conquests Morale )
? Skills: Taekwon Z, Swordsmanship SSS, Chaos SS, Destruction SS, Oblivion SS
? Condition: Cool Head, Wither, Transfiguration
It is quite expected that when you change the form to a human, then some skills can be sealed and some added, but I did not expect this.
Taekwon Z? What a joke
It was strange to see such a skill with a dragon, whose hind legs were short from birth.
Chapter 122 - The Thing I don’t Want, Even If I Die
Chapter 122 - The Thing I dont Want, Even If I Die
I came here because I felt power that Id been missing so much. Whoever you are, you better not use this power. Its not a pleasant feeling to submit to someone, Noebius responded with a frown, apparently remembering something displeasing, which made the wrinkles on his forehead grow even deeper. I immediately went to answer.
When did the angels capture you?
So you know. So were you the person on that side?
That side?
Hmm. The person who saw me when I was young well, it was amazing. After all, it had happened a long time ago. Anyway, I also have a lot of questions, but I dont have the time to ask them, so lets just get down to business for now.
Finishing his sentence, Noebius jumped high and kicked.
Crazy!
I couldnt dodge the blow; I could only swear. This was how Noebiusmunicated, after all.
Pure violence.
From the very beginning, this dragon didnt like to talk. Without warning, he began to breathe out in different directions, and the peaceful conversation that had taken ce ended very quickly. Come to think of it; this was a gimmick. He had bought himself time to get used to the human form, as did the Demon Lord, who distracted me with various conversations to get used to the penalty that had lowered his level.
Noebius attack was definitely impressive. His body became smaller, so his weight was also reduced, but thanks to this, he was firing off attacks a dragons body wasnt capable of. Martial arts were like that. Techniques could be good or bad, depending on how effectively they could be used against your opponent.
You have some good moves!
Noebius! Do you have to fight before you die?
That is why we must fight! There wont be another chance to do so!
Oh! I didnt know that!
During the 2nd ythrough, the dragon fought until it died. If he rested for some time, he would have lived for several more years, but he was exhausted and copsed to the ground due to the heavy loads on the spine. It seemed that it would be the same now.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
He shouldnt be underestimated just because he has acquired a human form. This was Noebiuss transcendental skill Taekwon.
Although he used punches, he mostly focused on kicks. Side-kick, Top-down kick, Roundhouse straight kick, Forward straight kick, Running kick
In short, he used many different types.
You look like the First Hero. And you fight well, Noebius said with a smile.
Of course.
I didnt just rely on skills. I couldnt deny their convenience, but my first ythrough was so hard it couldnt be ovee only with skills. That experience became my strength.
You have dexterous movements. Unlike Fantasy people, who are born with skills, you dont seem to show much of a desire to rely on them. Or are you hiding your strength?
Both.
Youre quite an interesting character. You continue to hide your strength even in battle with me. But I understand. Heroes have always loved to seem mysterious and look cool. The main thing is that you know how to fight.
You must be excited because you can fight until you die.
Haha! Exactly!
Unlike me, who was struggling to fend back his blows, Noebius still had a surplus of strength. Because of this, he started talking about himself.
Once upon a time, I was defeated by a Hero. In all skills, I surpassed him, but I could not get rid of the Hero, who stuck to me like a flea, so I lost. I was so offended then that I began to explore the possibility of transformation into a morepact body.
So this is where this bodyes from? I asked. This was because, sometimes, viins spoke their ns by themselves. The same apparently went for Noebius.
The small body was too weak. It would die only from the slightest impact. So I started studying people. How can they be so small but so strong? And I realized that it was about the techniques they use to kill each other. Humans became stronger by killing other humans.
Not monsters?
No. When hunting monsters, you dont need such sophisticated techniques because they will be stopped by the thick skin of the enemy. To kill monsters, you dont need techniques but sharp weapons.
Fencing, Taijutsu, Sojutsu, Bojutsu, Archery Shooting
All this was invented just for man to fight against man. If you were to ask a person on Earth how to hunt a tiger, no one would think about taekwondo, judo, or other martial arts. Instead, he would think of guns or traps.
Noebius used human techniques simply because he knew they were effective against humans.
Kuk!
He kicked mercilessly with sharp ws. The blows were endless. He attacked, changing swiftly between legs. He sometimes used deceptive maneuvers, thereby making all of his attacks unpredictable. He stood and swayed on one heel, but not because he was drunk. Rather, he could skip the movement of lifting a foot and move faster. Because of this, it became harder for me to respond.
And also, it could relieve the muscles
Chaooo-!
Suddenly, Noebius let out a dragon roar in his human form! He proceeded to shoot me with a gust of his dragon breath. It was a sudden attack for me as I had been so focused on his feet.
BAAAM!
There came an ensuing explosion that engulfed my body. However, I was fine. The strength of his breath became weaker as he grew smaller, and by this point, I had already developed immunity to the deadly poison.
This was my chance. A slight hitch urred after he has used his breath. Taking advantage of the moment, I hit Noebiuss body with all my might.
Crack-
I think I had broken his ribs, yet I knew that this was hardly a critical hit. This was my intuition because I broke a lot of spines. These were just small cracks.
I see. Death breath doesnt work on you after all.
Raising his left leg vertically, it collided with my head.
BOOM!
It felt like I had cked out for a couple of seconds. For the first time in twenty years, this happened.
Bam!
Then, there came a right kick right to my stomach. My back was bent since I could neither dodge nor block the blow. I fell t on my back. After that, he unleashed a hail of heavy blows on me.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Grabbing my defenseless body, he threw me into the air and continued to strike, preventing me from falling to the ground. It felt like I was in some crazy fighting game.
I knew I should do something.
Friend! Sorry, but
I admitted defeat and pulled out a trump card to win. This experiment was just that, nothing more. This was enough to understand that without the support of the skills of the fantasy world, I am very weak. This pain served as my proof. However, I havent lost all my skills.
Yet.
ck Box Activation.
Nine seconds of invincibility! My Divinity deflected Noebiuss usual attacks. Thanks to this, I couldnd normally, and my body, which became little more than a huge bloodstain, quickly recovered.
One second passed. Then, two. That was how long it took for the skills to apply to my body. Thanks to Dark Energy, I gained demonic physical strength, and I began tounch my counterattack.
Is this your hidden power?
Well, something like that.
I already miss the time when you flew around like a daredevil. Or am I bing sentimental because its time to die?
His ws were broken due to the Divinity repelling the attacks, but he didnt stop. Even feeling the Divinity, he attacked.
Noebiuscked skills like Divinity and Dark Energy. If you think logically, you could ignore his physical attacks, but my intuition told me that it was dangerous to do so. And I believed my intuition.
BOOM! BOOM!
Once again, we exchanged blows. I believed my intuition, but my fighting style has always been Blow for blow! If my bones were broken, I responded in kind. Broken bones recovered quickly.
How do you break through Divinity?
However, I still didnt understand. The pain was real. Divinity deflected the attack, but the impulse of the impact was transmitted directly to my body.

The S-rank effect ignored normal attacks, and the SS-rank effect deflects the same attacks. However, Noebiuss attack nevertheless pierced this defense. What had changed from the beginning?
Noebius answered with a smile.
Ashing blow.
Ashing blow?
I learned this technique to kill the angels I hated.
I wasnt interested in where he got this technique from, only in the principle of its operation. There were so many questions left.
What about ignoring attributes?
You, using the power left by the First Hero, havent yet understood? Do you think my technique is amon attribute?
I see
Divine Deflection, an SS-grade effect, reflected attributes of all types except Dark Energy and Divinity. The S-rank effect Ignore Normal Attacks was simr yet different at the same time. There weremon attributes such as Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Ether embodied in the respective Spirits. In addition to this, pure physical strength was alsomon. Excluding these six powers, everything else was considered as rare attributes. The main representatives were Divinity and Dark Energy, but there were also others.
It was all still amazing. Noebius, motivated only by hatred of angels, investigated the skills effect and found a weak spot. Even Father and Daughter K with the Chaos Elf race couldnt manage that. Divine rejection crushed thempletely.
Hero, are you enjoying this world?
No, I answered shortly.
Hearing my answer, the slightly confused Noebius grinned.
I thought you would answer that it is fun here, but you think like the First Hero in thest years of his life
Thud.
Having said this, he fell. Myrade was undoubtedly strong but not strong enough to defeat me when I was using skills. Yet, I felt no joy of victory.
Because
Noebius. Why didnt you use the skills?
The King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, had many more skills besides Taekwon (Z). However, he didnt use any of them.
Youll understand if I answer that I dont want to use them, even if I die.
Quite well.
Thats enough for me.
Heres how. I would like to fight morebut it seems my time hase.
Hey. Youre not just dying, are you?
It would be nice if, like in the 2nd ythrough, he gave me something before leaving.
Then look at my skills.
Why would I look at your skillshmm?!

My dearpanion, the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, remained victorious until his death.
You indifferent friend! Before leaving me, you could have left your heart
Chapter 123 - I will bring you up properly!
Chapter 123 - I will bring you up properly!
It was a little shocking: another being used the ck Box in this fantasy world. I thought I was the only one who was special, like a hero in a novel, but evidently, that wasnt true.
Still, I had something to say. Did he hide everything until the end until he died? If one was hanging in danger and hanging in the bnce of death, wasnt it natural to throw pride aside? However, that wasnt the case.
At least, not for my dearpanion.
It was evident that, even after losing, he didnt want to be an aplice of the God of the fantasy world or the First Hero.
Or is it not even a defeat?
The King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, didnt remove the seal of the ck Box until the very end. But I, as soon as I was in danger, immediately used it. For my friend, pride was above life. For me, it was on the contrary. All the same though, I didnt think I gave up my pride. You could say that I used life insurance.
However, my pride suffered when I saw my friends body dissolve into the ground. Yet, I didnt regret my decision. Im alive, which meant there would be time to restore my pride. If I killed all the witnesses to my shame, then no one would know.
? Confusion: Am I a witness?!
Dont worry, Miss Trainee. Were secret friends. We got just one more secret.
It was an uncertain victory, but it was still a victory. Besides, I managed to get something. Before he died, the High Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, said that his time hade, so there was no doubt that he died a natural death, but I consumed all his experience points.
Level 2833 Level 1506 Level 3795
The experience points used in battle had now been restored with interest. But because of this, fear rose within me. What if I lost after using experience points? This terrible turn of events had never happened, but no one could guarantee that it would never happen. Therefore, I needed to prepare for it.
And I thought that I would have nothing to do
Even for a Hero with 25 years of experience, rest was a luxury. As soon as I thought about getting rid of the skills of the fantasy world, things that needed to be done immediately popped up in my head. The foundation must be rebuilt. If I didnt, then someday I would be a ve to the God of the fantasy world.
Everything was quite logical. Imagine that the Heros skills suddenly disappeared. Beloved ones who loved the Hero so much because of his Status will leave him, and hispanions and subordinates will ignore him. And not only that. Opponents waiting for an opportunity and enemies who want to take revenge on the Hero will immediately appear.
Beating, torture, castration, humiliation, robbery, exploitation
Surely his enemies would not take revenge beautifully. And then the God of the fantasy world would offer to return the skills; in return, you just needed to be his ve.
?Difficulty: Quite a possible development of events. I havent personally met with him, so I cannot draw any conclusions. But can the one who raised the just Hero do this? I am not trying to impose my point of view on you but simply expressing my thoughts.
I would continue to prepare as I was doing now. This was so that, when the God of the fantasy world took the skills and offered me to be his ve, I could safely refuse. This was also my revenge. Not necessarily against God, but against the heads ofrgepanies, politicians, and show business stars who thought that everything should be as they wanted them to be. They were the types to freak out if something did not go as nned.
Hmm. Isnt it the same with me?
Looking back, I had been pretty arrogant too. Apart from the very difficult first pass, you could count on one hand the times when I was weak. Because of this, I began to think that everything would be the way I wanted it to be. In the 8th ythrough, as a sweet child, I built a powerful empire in the northern continent without anyones help.
It couldnt be helped, even if it sounded arrogant.
Master. Are you okay?
Saint H, who hadnded next to me, asked me this while holding the dragon egg in her hands. She put it on her right shoulder, and with her other arm, held Tamer E by her slender ankle.
Well, she looks bad
Imagine a woman on some gallows; only she was suspended by the ankle. Her legs were spread apart, her tongue was stuck out, and saliva freely flowed from her mouth.
If youve imagined something obscene, go to the hospital.
Although the body is in order, she doesnt have the experience points for me to resurrect her, Saint X exined the reason.
Hmm. Its because shes dead by me?
An incredibly small amount of experience points could be earned from hunting. For example
Imagine that you needed 100 experience points to level up from 1 to 2, and from 2 to 3, you need 200 experience points. ording to thews of the fantasy world, if you absorbed enough experience points, your level would rise. In other words, a level 2 body had a strength equal to 100 experience points, and a level 3 body would store 300 experience points in itself.
And this was where the problem arose. Theoretically, to increase the level from 1 to 3, you needed to defeat three opponents of level 2 and absorb their experience points. However, in reality, this isnt the case. You needed to defeat more opponents.
? Affirmation: It is. Because it is impossible to absorb all the experience points.
About 90% of the experience points remained in the corpse. About 8% was dispersed in nature, and only about 2% could be taken for yourself. There was also the Hero perk. The hero could absorb the scattered experience points and get about 10% of the experience points in the end. As stated in the description of the perk, this was five times experience. However, what about me?
I absorbed 100%.
If a living creature dies, its experience points disappear. And although the body belongs to the 1st level, due to the specialization of the Saint, she also sees experience points circling next to the body. Is this what we usually call the soul? This soul disappears if the body is severely wounded or if, over time, the body is greatly weakened. But you even take the soul.
Therefore, an inconceivable efficiency arose.
So, it cannot be resurrected because there is no soul left?
Exactly.
The return of the soulit seems impossible.
I clicked my tongue. Sylvia remained alive at level 1, so she could get experience points back, but it was difficult to resurrect if there wasnt even 1% of the soul left.
Then
I then decided to use a different method. After activating the ck Box, I put Dark Energy into the body of Tamer E. I resurrected a nanny who suffered from a difficult birth before in a simr way. Dark Energy was power, still. And this time, there was an effect.
p!
Having recovered with the help of Dark Energy, Tamer E rose by her powers. Opening her eyes, she looked at me gratefully.
Wooo
Hmm?
This wasnt a civilizednguage, so it was difficult to understand it even with the help of Interpretation (A). Animalnguage? No, it was less than that. Because
? Race: Undead
? Level: 1
? Specialization: Tamer (Taming Exp )
? Skills: Breeding S, Taming A, Empathy B, Gathering C), Spirit D
? Condition: Controlled, Void
This was no longer a living being.
Undead. It means it doesnt die, so it sounds like its invincible, but its just a zombie. Its not a normal creature.
Hiplia, whats with the soul?
Hmmin the body of the elf remained a tiny power of the 1st level. But Im not sure if this can be called an elfit is rather a new soul made of Dark Energy.
Tsk. Its a failure.
I need to be more careful when I want to resurrect someone else in the future. A limitation has appeared that prevented me from killing.
Flop.
As soon as I took the Dark Energy back, Tamer E fell powerlessly. And this time, not even a corpse remained.
Hsss
The body, like that of a dead monster, simply dissolved.
Master. What are we going to do with this egg? I think it can be put into storage. If you store living things there, then they may develop dementia or panic disorder, but this is just an egg, so I think everything will be fine.
No. Im going to break it now.
I wasnt at a childcare center, after all.
You can do that.
And keep the eggshell as a souvenir.
Smiling, I summoned the Magic Sword and smashed the egg in half. I tried to work carefully so as not to kill the cub. And here it was!
Greeee
As I expected, there was a green dragon cub inside. Was it because he was born too early? The plump-cheeked lizard with huge eyeballs was helplessly limp.
? Race: Green Hatchling
? Level: 358
? Specialization: Mage (Age Magic )
? Skills: Magic B, Stealth D, Survival F, Endurance F, Tolerance F
? Condition: Newborn, Immaturity, Anxiety
As expected of the most powerful race in the fantasy world, a newly born dragon had a higher level than Alex. If they started fighting, the dragon would inevitably lose, but if I started to train it, it would soon be able to be a good dragon, able enough to eat Alex.
? Confusion: Do you want to raise this cute baby to be a viin?
Miss Trainee did have a strange sense of beauty. Look, it was just a nasty reptile.
Whether it be a lizard or a robot, they must be big and strong. Only then did they look cool. The lizard was a dragon, and the robot was a super robot, though. If I raised it, then in 3 years, it should be worth at least on par with the little finger of the King Dragon of Oblivion Noebius.
By the way, dragons were bisexual creatures. Depending on their wishes, they could be males or females. The gender was useless when it was in the form of a Dragon. They could even reproduce without individuals of their species. However, the color of the skin and its properties were transmitted ording to thews of gics.
How interesting. Was there an adult green dragon in the central continent capable ofying an egg? Or is it the handiwork of a stupid green dragon on the southern continent
Greeee?
Well, the main thing is not the one who gave birth, but the one who raises it.
This dragon was too weak now, but it would soon be the strongest Fifth Disaster after the King Dragon of Oblivion. I decided so.
?Advice: Naturally, the newborn is still weak. It is you, Cadet Kan Han Soo, who is strange because you became the emperor of the northern continent at the age of three and even left descendants
Miss Trainee, listen. Pets are like their owners.
The dragon, which will be raised by a Hero with twenty-five years of experience, simply cannot be ordinary.
Do not worry, Green.
Gree? Gree?
I will not teach you in inhumane ways, like Alex. Although youre not human.
I will grow you into the Second King Dragon of Oblivion!
*
By the way. It seems that we have flown quite far.
While I dangled on the wings of my dearpanion, King Dragon Noebius, we had drifted quite far from the nest.
Saint H, who came from the Festival of Heroes and didnt know the area, was of no use. But did it matter? Ive spent twenty-five years in the fantasy world. I had lived here more than the local youths. Unfortunately
Now the fantasy world was more familiar to me than my home. I hadnt been to all seven continents of the Earth, but I knew the terrain of the five continents of the fantasy world well. So much so that I could draw a 3D map in my head! The terrain had been contaminated and altered by the poisonous breath of the King Dragon of Oblivion, but there werent manykes in the central continent.
Gree
You seem to be hungry.
Greee?
This was the Holy Empire, with which I had many not very good memories. It was a country where a greedy woman lived who wanted to kill her older brother to be an empress. There were many dungeons with treasures and experience points. But above all
Green, would you like to eat the imperial princess?
Greee-?!
Ha! You should eat a variety of food.
If you wanted to be a great dragon, you needed to know the taste of humans.
Chapter 124 - Silver fox
Chapter 124 - Silver fox
In games orics, the monsters you raised were so cute and small that you could pick them up or sit them on your head. However, the dragon I was raising wasnt like that.
Go on foot.
Greeeee~?!
It wasrge, so it would be ufortable to carry. It was not only because it was heavy, but it would also obstruct my view. The green dragon stood up, shaking, then immediately flopped over. He sat down on the poisonous ground, shaking his head.
Saint H spoke out cautiously, Master. Forgive me if I allow myself too much, but the dragon isnt fully developed yet; therefore, it is physically weak. He needs time to be able to move normally.
Hmmthen nothing can be done.
I wanted to save the inhabitants of the Holy Empire from the hands of the evil imperial princess, who took the life of her kind brother who got along well with the rest of the aristocrats! Since my pet wasnt in the best condition, I would have to endure for several more days.
Saint H, who was sitting down in front of the little dragon, spread her arms in different directions.
Come here.
Gree? Greee!
The little dragon immediately jumped into the arms of Saint H. However, they didnt look very good, as if a very weak girl were carrying a sick elephant in her arms
I decided not to cancel the call of Saint H; I didnt want to drag around this ugly dragon myself. Saint H, meanwhile, stroked the cubsrge head. What would she do if he were to bite?
My name is Hiplia. And you are Green Cake. Got it?
Gree!
Huhu. Green Cake is smart.
Greeee~
The ve and the pet quickly hit it off as we slowly moved towards the nearest town. I wanted to go to the castle right now and arrange a tasting of the imperial princess, but the dragon wasnt yet able to do this, so there was nothing else to do but wait. However, I, as soon as I was born, immediately fought with the evil knights!
?Question: Will you not wait for the rest of yourpanions?
Miss Trainee. What kind ofpanions?
?Answer: Well, the ones you sent to hunt the orcs.
Ah! The dummies?
She saidpanions, so I didnt understand at first. But now, the question arose whether it was necessary to wait for them. They didnt know where I had gone, did they?
?Assumption: They most likely track which direction you took off in.
This may well be. My dearpanion King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, had a huge body, so it was pretty hard to miss him. Plus, Lanuvel was the Heros guide. I didnt like her, but in the fantasy world, she was next after the Hero with twenty-five years of experience when it came to familiarity with the area. She could find me, probably.
Of course, the Fantasy continents were full of creatures that had lived here longer than me, including quite a few immortals. For example, the Demon Lord or the Elven King. But they didnt typically travel the world, instead choosing to settle somewhere. And even if they wandered once, it was a long time ago, so a lot had changed.
On the other hand, my information was up to date. I even knew what the terrain of the northern and central continents would be like in thirteen years.
Hmmwhat should I do?
I didnt care what happened to Lanuvel, who always pretended to be cute, but I bought Porter and Thief E at an auction, so that meant they were my property. Was it worth waiting for them on this endless in, where there was nothing but deadly poison? The answer came immediately.
Spirits of the Wind. Give my location to the dummies.
The spirit living in my armpits reacted immediately. However, they didnt act independently, instead of ordering the other Spirits of the Wind who were nearby.
Whiiing~
A strong wind blew, and several spirits rushed like a bullet in the opposite direction from my path. By doing this, I demonstrated a useless friendship so that the God of the fantasy world couldnt find fault with my personality assessment.
ThenReputation and Achievements.
Everything should be fine with the Achievements. Judging from the experience of the 2nd ythrough, if you quickly dealt with the King Dragon of Oblivion, as now, then the score for Achievements should be at least S. Then only the Reputation remained.
To begin with, we decided to go to the nearest city. I wanted to cleanse the earth of this poison with my Divinity, but in that case, no one would know that I did it. This fantasy world system never ceased to irritate me.
We need to show everyone else what a fine fellow I am
How was this different from politicians who visit a nursing home during elections? All this existed as a pretense. However, nothing could be done about it if this was what the God of the fantasy world wanted. I knew this was all stupid, but I couldnt help but obey the rules. The situation was simr to the fact that you didnt want to vote for anyone, but you couldnt simply abstain from voting.
I felt as if I was gradually bing a fool.
As we walked towards the nearest town, a mans cry rang out.
Help! Im addicted to the poison!
I ignored such requests for help. If I let myself be distracted by one or two people who needed help, it would only be more difficult to save more people on the five continents. If you chased after small things, you would definitely lose a lot. Still, if this wasnt on a small vige or city scale, I didnt need to strain myself.
However, this man didnt want to give up. Was there no one around to help him?
This is the only daughter of the Lord! Someone, please help!
Leave it to this Hero!
Lord? So it was the Third Duke of the Holy Empire, the head of the aristocratic movement in the Holy Empire. His daughter would soon be the wife of the crown prince in the future. That was, she was supposed to be the Empress. If history didnt change, she would eventually be the Empress.
During the first ythrough, the Herospanions raised a coup dtat, fascinated by the speeches of the imperial princess, who tried to personally gain the throne but was defeated and fled ignominiously. The imperial pce was upied by a small number of invaders, but only the appointed emperor died on the throne.
And the Empress? She was pregnant, so thepanions, deciding that the unborn child was innocent, sent her into exile. However, on the mountain path, robbers killed her. Were the mountain robbers stronger than the imperial knights?
Wasnt it funny?
This way!
The man asking for help waved me over. Thinking about cutting off his bold hand, I saw his pointed ears.
Are you an elf?
Yes, that is right! Ill introduce myselfter! Please save ourdy! She was picking flowers here when she suddenly became infected with the breath of the King Dragon of Oblivion!
The representation of the elf wasnt interesting to me. This could only be found by looking at his skills.
? Race: Elf
? Level: 486
? Specialization: Butler (Mansion Ability )
? Skills: Management A, Apaniment B, Documents C, Interpretation D, Charisma D
? Condition: Anxiety
He was just an elf working for an aristocratic family of the lowest ss of elves who was usually auctioned off into sexual very. However, those aristocrats who had a head on their shoulders used the strength of the elves.
They lived for thousands of years. Unless it was a well-known andrge n, it would be difficult to maintain such elves for about 500 years, but ns that had existed for many years had something inmon.
Loyal elves. As soon as a generation changed, changes urred. If the offspring were immature orzy, then dark times would descend on the n. However, if there was an elf nearby who helped in everything, then everything would change. This was an excellent mentor who had overseen the n for several hundred years and was prepared to be a steward to easily rece an ipetent feudal lord.
However, his real power was weak. Elves werent humans, so that they couldnt be aristocrats in human society. Anyway
Hmm. The girls life is in danger.
Oh
The Poison of the King Dragon of Oblivion was extremely dangerous. The girl in the yellow dress looked healthy, but her respiratory system was destroyed by the poisonous gas. It was a miracle that she was still alive by the time I reached her.
Dont worry, miss.
I smiled at her and activated the ck Box. I could have left her treatment to Saint H, but if I wanted to look better in her eyes, I had to do everything myself, just like this.
Oooong-
Divine light enveloped the future empresss body. The lungs and respiratory tract, which had melted like butter from the poison, recovered again, and her blue skin regained a pinkish tint.
Thank you, Healer.
The girl who woke up greeted me. But healer? I was about to correct her, but then I looked at my outfit. After the battle with the King Dragon of Oblivion, during which I survived over 50bined hits, my clothes turned into rags. Because of this, I put on one of the angel outfits hidden in the vault. It was made of high-quality fabric and, like a skirt, covered only the lower part of the body. The back was open because the wings, the hallmark of an angel, should be visible.
Anyway.
Im not a healer, but a Hero.
For everyone to know about my good deeds, you needed to indicate your identity. I felt shameful that I had to do this trivial work, but what could I do?
Haha! ve to Reputation! If I saved ordinary people, it would just end like that, but this girl was special in the Holy Empire, being the only daughter of an aristocratic leader. The reputation part had already been secured, but there should also be a reward. I saved the daughter who would be the wife of the crown prince, and the duke wasnt soulless enough to end with a word of thanks.
Maybe?
Did you just say that you are a Hero? The elf butler cut in.
Why? Should I provide evidence that I am a Hero?
No. How can I be so rude to a benefactor? If it doesnt bother you, I would like to invite you to our domain. As you can see, we cannot immediately repay you for your kindness. I hope for your understanding.
Was it because the elf had served a famous family for a very long time? He had a skilled tongue.
UmHero? May I ask you one question?
Anything, miss.
Is that little green dragon your pet? Asked the recovered girl, pointing to Green Cake, who was in the arms of Saint H.
I nodded.
Yes. If hes so ugly that you dont like looking at him, I will hide him somewhere far away.
N-No! Hes very cute
This girl had unusual preferences.
Greee?
Ah! Even the sounds it makes are cute! Is it not? She asked the butler, who was standing a little further from the girl. He used the guards and the maids because they couldnt find the girl, because of which she was poisoned. But as soon as he turned, his expression changed to soft and benevolent.
Yes, you are right. Hes really cute. Perhaps since this is a green dragon, fragments of my Mothend flickered in my memory even more. When this dragon grows up, he will be a gant Defender of the forest.
The elf butler was forced to agree. And he knew something about life in society. While we were talking with everyone, we arrived at the dukes castle, which was located right in the city center.
*
I dont know how to thank you for saving my only daughter
The Duke of the Holy Empire bowed his head before me. To satisfy his ambitions, his daughter was irreceable. The smile of a just Hero blossomed on my face. It was a technique that attracted a lot of aristocrats.
No money can be paid for your only blood. Isnt that right, honorable duke?
Yes, that is right! You are right! Ha-ha The admired duke agreed with my conclusions.
Instead of a mary agreement, I would like to talk about a case that will benefit both parties.
Excuse me; this foolish old man does not understand what you are talking about. What case?
It was a good question.
I want the Silver Fox, which the Holy Empire doesnt need.
Silver Fox. This was the coat of arms of the imperial princess, who lost her status as a member of the imperial family and became a marquis.
Chapter 125 - Victory Party
Chapter 125 - Victory Party
After that, the conversation passed quickly as we had one goal. The Duke promised that he would cooperate with me. Because he was such a determined man, he had be the leader of an aristocratic movement and would most likely seed in cing on the throne someone with his blood.
But Heroeasier said than done. Because
That Fox seems cocky, but in reality, she is quite careful.
Ah, you know a lot about her.
A little bit?
I knew enough.
This vile fox sorry, daughter of the emperor, known as the most beautiful woman in the Holy Empire has many enemies. If you want to master her, then it is better to go to her personally.
This is also one of the options.
If you dont like it, there is another option! My daughters birthday is in a month. If you invite her to a party that day, then she wille. This party will bring together almost all the aristocrats of the Holy Empire, so there is no reason she shouldnte.
That was the adequate alternative. But I held information that was unknown to others.
Duke. There is another good way.
I spread rumors that I had defeated the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. I didnt want to tell everyone that I had gotten abo of fifty hits in that battle, but to graduate, I needed fame points. And I wasnt lying; I had defeated him.
Rumors about this quickly spread. It wasnt like the second ythrough when it contaminated about half of the central continent with poison, but it still left a lot of damage. Indeed, a Disaster! People who had lived for centuries in fear of one of the Five Disasters immediately raised a fuss.
Hero, have you defeated the King Dragon of Oblivion?!
What? And when was the Hero summoned?
I saw the King Dragon of Oblivion!
Wow! Incredible!
The stupid inhabitants of the fantasy world praised me. They didnt provide the Hero who saved them with free housing or food but instead tried to coax me with praise so that I could take out my wallet and have a feast.
Why was I overreacting? During the first ythrough, due to this behavior of the inhabitants, mypanions recklessly scattered money, which made me bankrupt several times over. In the 7th year, after the Hero was summoned, even a poster appeared with the words: Greetings to all the vigers at the Heros party.
And I used a lot of money
I was a simpleton, but things were far different now. These clever freeloaders wouldnt pull a single coin from me now that I had nopanions to take care of.
Greee~a?a
Only one dragon ate a lot, but that was okay. As we walked through the marketce, the residents eximed how cute he was and threw food at him. Wasnt that better than being eaten by a hungry dragon?
Okay, Green Cake. Grow faster and be the strongest dragon.
G-Greee
Rumors about me spread outside the city and throughout the Holy Empire. Naturally, this reached the ears of the imperial princess.
Hoho! As you said, she came. You even seem to know the color of her underwear, said the duke with a sly nce.
Discussing the color of a womans underwear
Such aparison doesnt fit your status, Duke.
To pretend to be innocent, she most likely wore white.
*
Royals and aristocrats couldnt just meet people, as others may misunderstand it. If aristocrats with a lot of power meet, then you might think that they were preparing a coup, even if they would im that this was a meeting for personal reasons. If a young girl and a guy meet, they would think they were dating and had already spent a hot night together.
It was no different from celebrities and politicians who must monitor their behavior and speech. The higher the status, the more seriously you needed to take care of your image. It was not for nothing that everyone started making noise when someone from the royal family or the aristocrats visited a ce. Plus, women needed to be more careful than men.
Ordinary people could meet someone at a bar or get to know each other through friends, like each other, and get married, but with aristocrats, things were different. Even a newborn child can be killed if there was even the slightest hint that it was associated with a scandal or political intrigue. And if a girl met a guy, she immediately fell under suspicion.
Therefore, any meeting needed a reason. Because of this, aristocrats often threw parties, not just to boast of their luxury, as ordinary citizens may think.
Hero. Do you like the party atmosphere?
Not very luxurious, only in moderation.
It looks like you are used to parties. Its not very luxurious here for you.
Haha. A Little?
The Duke, who promised to cooperate, threw a party in honor of the brave Hero who defeated the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. All aristocrats, regardless of age, arrived at the party. They didnt want to sit at home while everyone was having fun. At the same time, they wanted to see the Hero who brought down the Disaster. The girl in front of me was the same.
Nice to meet you, Hero.
An unmarried girl in her prime, the only daughter of the emperor. She, like no one else, couldnt go alone where she pleased. The girl greeted me by lifting the end of the snow-white dress that entuated her figure. The shape of her eyes was like a real fox.
I wanted to pierce her eyes, but too many people were gathered here. For the sake of Reputation, I restrained myself and answered her with the Fair Heros smile.
Nice to meet you, princess.
The princess of the Holy Empire. At least she knew what to wear in this old-fashioned fantasy world. She was indeed born with talent.
? Race: Human
? Level: 194
? Specialization: Princess (Rank Attention )
? Skills: Charisma S, Elegance A, Eternal youth B, Politics B, Intelligence B
? Condition: Excitement
Her Status was quite interesting. Combat power was lousy, but her other skills were excellentpared to the other old noblewomen. It wasnt just for women. With Politics (B), she could firmly hold people in her hands with her power of persuasion, even without any support. In addition, she had a high rank in Charisma and Elegance.
She would be able to charm male politicians so that they lost concentration, resulting in which any meeting would instantly turn into a stage for her solo performance. And the people who can interfere against her could be counted on one hand.
Oh!
Any problems?
What was she pretending to be?
Umif I say that, dont think anything like that. But when you looked at me with your ferocious gaze, my heart immediately fluttered Answered the princess, covering part of her face with a fan, which made only her eyes visible.
You want to be beaten Hmm! Later I will introduce you to the dragon that I am raising. He certainly wont be able topete with you in beauty, but hes pretty cute.
And you have a good tongue.
Its just the basics.
For a Hero with twenty-five years of experience in the fantasy world, these were the basics. I was not a savage with muscles like Hercules from Greek mythology, and I was well acquainted with the rules of etiquette in different countries. The Holy Empire was no exception; it went without saying topliment a woman at a party.
And the princess, of course, knew about it. However, when she heard mypliment, she pretended to be embarrassed.
? Suggestion: Maybe she fell in love with you?
Miss Trainee. You didnt have to believe everything that was shown in dramas and written in novels.
The imperial princess was pretending now. In the first ythrough, she did the same. She was saved from the knights of the Holy Empire chasing her by the Herospanions. And then, having praised thepanions and gained their sympathy, the princess became a part of the Heros squad.
Do you know what she did? She said Lanuvel was cute. This woman was so vile that for her benefit, she could tantly lie, dropping her pride in the process.
Hero. Can you tell us how you dealt with the King Dragon of Oblivion?
The princess openly asked about my abilities. She wanted to check if the rumors about me were true. And if I were weaker than she expected, she would immediately change her attitude and show her real insides. After thinking for one second, I answered.
I didnt tell you that I defeated the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, to brag. I just wanted to inform the people of the Holy Empire that they have nothing more to fear. And no matter what I say now, wont that sound like a bluff? The result speaks for itself.
Ahsorry.
Its fine.
Why was she suddenly apologizing?
No. I didnt understand the deep meaning of your actions and asked you about this. Im so ashamed that I cant even lift my headAh! As an excuse, I want to invite you after the partydo you mind?
Its an honor for me.
Everyone at the party heard that she was the first to invite a man, and such a brave action would negatively affect her reputation. However, when such an offer came, even if you didnt like this girl, you needed to ept it. That was, if you were a man who knew etiquette.
Daughter of the Emperor and the Hero?
They met for the first time today
As expected of the mean fox.
The aristocrats who watched this picture immediately began to whisper. That, too, must be part of her n. Then
Dear Princess. The Heros time is very precious. As I spend my time on personal affairs, the number of those I can save decreases. Therefore, prepare a suitable reward.
If you want to use me, you need to prepare the appropriate board.
Reward
The princess, with flushed cheeks, put a hand on her cool chest and tilted her head, looking at me in amazement. She was ashamed of underestimating the Heros Politics skill.
? Confusion: I dont think so
Miss Trainee. Watch and learn. This experienced hero will teach you the principles of politics for free.
*
After the party, I was able to get a huge mary reward from the imperial princess, but it seemed to be irritating the emperors daughter. The emperors daughter didnt leave the dukes domain, although it was enemy territory. And she tried to seduce me by any means. It was embarrassing to see how hard she tried.
How annoying
When the unfortunate princess left the Dukesnds, her carriage would fall under a heavy rockfall, because of which she would die. This was her destiny. But it seemed she wasnt going to leave.
Green Cake. Do your thing.
Greeee?
The green dragon tilted his head, not understanding at all what his owner wanted from him. If the dragon ate the emperors daughter, then peace and quiet would reign in the Holy Empire, and there would also be no need to worry about dark spots on my Reputation. Couldnt such a pet mistakenly eat a person?
We needed training. Fifteen days had passed since his birth when I struck the egg with my sword.
Tottering, tottering.
Green Cake could now walk by himself. Every time he fell or wanted to give up, I stepped on his tail and pushed him so that he worked hard. In general, I taught him diligently. But for some reason, the level of skill rose only for Saint H, who did nothing at all.
Hero, a group has arrived iming to be yourpanions.
I made a n and wanted to make the dragon hunt from tomorrow when one of the knights told me this strange news. Companions?
Theyre some swindlers. I have nopanions.
Is that so? Wow! Even the world-famous archaeologist Lanuvel is lying!
Wait
I have nopanions, but there are dummies that I support.
Sir Hero! Lanuvel has been looking for you for so long!
We nearly died from a deadly poison.
After receiving my permission, Lanuvel and the Porter, led by the knight, entered the castle. Thief E quietly followed them.
And you managed to survive.
Not sure about the Porter, but if Lanuvel had died, no big deal. However, instead, she only got stronger. And much more!
? Race: Human

Why didnt Lanuvels level drop even when I killed her, and she was even able to resurrect? She was different from Tamer E, but I didnt know-how. This was suspicious, so I stared at her
Ah! Are you the Heros preciouspanions?
This was what the pr foxs eyes looked like when it found prey in the snow? The princess, who was spying on how I was raising Green Cake, walked briskly and pretended to be close. To avoid misunderstandings, I immediately replied.
No.
Thank God.
Hmm?
The princess, who had been standing next to me, immediately left without even telling Lanuvel that she was cute. Hearing from me that this foxlike woman was the imperial princess, the porter immediately fell silent and stood rooted to the spot. Because for him, the imperial family was something sublime.
Thief E simply had nothing else to say. Although she was a crook who had deceived the Hero with fake breasts, she was still from the royal family of elves, so for her, the emperors daughter wasnt something outstanding. But looking at the leaving princess, Thief E turned to me.
Hero-savage.
What? Just dont brag that you won against the emperors daughter with fake breasts.
The princess made that offensive expression because she thought Thief E was prettier than her.
No! How can you say that!
If not, then what is it?
I found the Chaos Artifact.
From thisnd?
As if in denial, she shook her head and replied, pointing to the emperors leaving daughter.
Under that girls skirt.
Chapter 126 - The article left by a woman
Chapter 126 - The article left by a woman
Under the skirt? During the first ythrough, some suchpanions hid weapons under their skirts, but the imperial princess wasnt a warrior. Due to her high level, her health and stamina were high, but she still couldnt handle even a petty thief. Then, there must be a few options left.
Underwear, Adult toy A, Adult toy B, Adult toy C.
Thief E. I ask to make sure. What you saw under the skirt of the emperors daughter wasnt socks or shoes?
No.
After listening to Thief Es answer, I decided what to do today. Anyway, I was going to work on the Training skill, which I couldnt improve in any way.
Ill give you a new assignment.
What is it? Asked the representative of the dummies, Lanuvel. I pointed to the green dragon.
We need to raise Green Cake into the strongest dragon! Take it and go to the nearest dungeon. If you dont know where it is, Ill show you. I know many dangerous ces where you can easily die. What do you think? If you dont like it, feel free to challenge me.
No!
Earlier on the map of the Holy Empire, I had marked some ces with red dots. Starting from the pce, they continued like a train route. Those red dots were the location of the dungeons, and the line was the queue for passing these dungeons. You could call this the route of optimal growth. However, there were no such pointers in my first ythrough.
Sometimes I entered the dungeons by ident, and because everything was too easy, I wasted time there, and in some ces, it was so dangerous that I was on the verge of death. Well, now it was no different from aputer game. If you couldnt pass even like this, then you werent worthy of being called a human.
If there are no questions, go.
Greee
However, Green Cake froze in ce and looked at Saint H. By the sounds he made and his tear-stained eyes, one could easily guess what the matter was. How could a dragon who would be the second King Dragon of Oblivion be so pathetic?
Master. Can I join too? If suddenly Green Cake dies, I can resurrect him.
Hmmthat makes sense.
Saint H was right. If the dragon that I had been raising died suddenly, all my efforts would go to waste.
Go with them.
Yes, Master. Did you hear? Green Cake, lets go.
Greee~!
I added Saint H to the dummies that were helping the growth of Green Cake. Then I would lose the Infinity skill, but there were now few who could pose a serious threat on the continents of Fantasy.
Sealing skills. Of course, I would be weaker and put myself at risk, but from a broader perspective, this wasnt a bad choice. You couldnt be full with just one spoon. I was slowly bing independent from the skills of the fantasy world, dreaming of the day when I could bepletely independent of them.
Good! Then I
There was no time to hesitate because I couldnt feel the Chaos Artifacts presence. Only by touching it could I understand whether it was an artifact or not. Therefore, I needed to meet with the emperors daughter right now. I didnt want to dig into the princesss closet like a pervert, so there was nothing to do but approach her until she had changed into other underwear.
I went after her, and it wasnt difficult to find her. It was less here, but spirits existed everywhere. I could simply ask them. If they charged too high a price, I thought I would simply destroy them, but as a member of the Natural Human race, I received the protection of spirits, so they were friendly to me, unlike the vigers, who were friendly only to the Hero who had money.
Soon, the Spirits of the Earth said that the princess was in her chambers. Honestly, I couldve asked anyone who works on these properties. She stood out far too much.
Hero, what are you doing here?
At the entrance to the chambers of the emperors daughter stood a beautiful maid. In appearance, she was just a weak woman of thirty years, but in fact, she was a person close to the emperors daughter as well as the knight apanying her.
? Race: Human
? Level: 296
? Specialization: Maid (Master Charisma )
? Skills: Enemy Detection A, Fencing B, Fortitude C, Endurance C, Housework C
? Condition: Waiting
She was truly devoted to the emperors daughter, but this was my first time seeing her. During the first ythrough, when I met the princess, this woman was already dead. This maid helped the emperors daughter escape, and she remained to fight to the end, which was why she died. I learned this from a drunken princess.
I want to meet with the princess.
You have no appointment, do you?
No.
Huhu! I thought so. Otherwise, the princess would be buzzing all over my ears. Wait a minute.
Ring.
Smiling, the maid pulled the string of the bell installed next to the door. And after a few seconds, the bell began to tremble as the princess pulled the thread from her room. After receiving permission, the maid opened the door and entered.
A few secondster, only her head appeared from behind the door, and the girl began to speak in a guilty voice.
Hero. Can you wait for a little? The princess asked for some time to get ready. But she asked me to convey that it wouldnt belong.
Is she changing?
If she changed her underwear, things would only get moreplicated, so, knowing that I was breaking the rules of etiquette, I asked this. Startled, the maid shook her head.
Then Ill wait.
Thank you for understanding.
Indeed, after a short amount of time, I was able to go inside. These were too dull chambers for the royal family, but everything in the room was neatly furnished, like in the office of an ordinary aristocrat. The interior and flower pots showed a womens room, but the documents and a fountain pen umted on the table didnt quite fit the aesthetic.
The Emperors daughter didnt sit at the table. Instead, she had quietly settled on the sofa next to the table.
Do you drink in broad daylight?
Sorry to appear before you in this form, Hero, said the slight princess. I looked at her outfit. She said that she needed time, but her outfit hadnt changed. Only one thing was rming: a faint smell emanated from the censer in the corner. A demonic flower was being burned. If you used it right and left, then Dark Energy would umte in the body. Because of this, it was sold dearly, but aristocrats with money used it for other purposes.
Like as an aphrodisiac so that everything went smoothly at night. The Dark Energy that you breathed in partially increased stamina. This power was used by old men of the royal family of aristocrats who lost their descendants on the battlefield and tried to squeeze out at least something to have children. I had used this flower several times, so I knew the effect very well.
If before you were only enough for three visits, then thanks to the flowers demonic power, that number increased to ten.
Everything is fine. Moreover, since youre drinking, I have something for you.
It was truly a shame to bribe her with this, but I decided to open the high-quality fruit vodka hidden in y 8 when I was emperor. I immediately pulled it out of the storage skill.
Itsvodka from the northern continent.
Do you know about it?
Yes. They say that girls get drunk from the sweet taste, and in the morning, when they wake up, they be pregnantthis is a very rare alcoholic drink. Sorry, I dont know his name, but some prince of the northern continent once suggested this to me, so I remembered the design of the bottle.
Because of some prince of the northern continent, my intentions were revealed. I didnt even think about making a junior Kang Han Soo with this vile fox, but I just wanted to water her until she fell asleep. Then I could take off her underwear legally(?).
Even if you were caught and immediately abandoned your intentions, you wouldnt be considered a man. I stood firm.
Princess. Would you like to have a drink with me?
I
*
It was a funeral. Not at a divine temple, as in the fantasy world, but in an austere modern burial house, as on Earth. And it is in this ce
The First Hero cried like a small child. Opening the lid of the coffin, he saw the corpse of a girl with closed eyes. Behind the Hero, who was crying on his knees in front of the coffin, were quiet beauties with irritated faces. Their expressions clearly said: Shes already dead; why are we wasting our time here?
However, as soon as the Hero stood up, these emotions disappeared from their faces, changing their expressions to grim. One of the beauties spoke to the Hero.
Dear. No need to be so worried. After all, you have me.
And me.
And dont forget me.
Other beauties also chimed in.
Thank you
The First Hero squeezed out of himself and, turning, looked at the coffin again. Then he asked the girl who was about to close the lid of the coffin a question.
Cant you resurrect her with the help of the Saint?
Even if you were to ask several times, the answer will not change. My little sisters soul is too weak to be resurrected. It is a miracle that we were able to recover her body, which was severely mutted due to torture.
Torture! For what?! What did my wife do?!
Hwaruu-!
In the body of the Hero, who cried out in anger, purple energy seethed. I couldnt feel this energy, but the beauties around were unable to withstand it, falling to their knees with pale faces.
Flop, flop
The hero lifted his power when they all copsed. Soon the First Hero calmed down and continued.
Excuse me leave me alone.
Having recovered, the beauties meekly left. As soon as they turned their backs, their facial expressions changed to joyful that everything was finally over. Then
Except you, Scioscia called the First Hero to thest girl who was about to leave.
Scioscia. This wasnt another person with the same name. This was the Demon Lords daughter. She hadnt changed a bit since I saw her in y 6; only her outfit was old-fashioned.
Why me? Scioscia asked with a frown.
Because you are not my wife.
Whats the difference? Ah! The seat is empty, so you want to put me there? Dream on. Unless you want to remain a eunuch for life.
Scioscia
Hey. Dont waste time and get down to business.
Her expression became obvious.
I truly loved her. Unlike my other wives, who put their reputation first, she did whatever cosy I asked for. And with this garter belt too.
The First Hero cried again, looking at the mentioned thing in his hand. Pressing her temples, Scioscia responded.
And how could dad lose to such an idiotor is he no different? And why are you telling me this?
Cant she be saved?
Ha! What? Do you want to borrow the Demon Lords power?
Yes, the First Hero replied seriously.
This isnt what the just First Hero, whom everyone calls the strongest, and who also killed the Demon Lord Pedonar, should say. But thats why humans are such interesting creatures. Perhaps,bining the greatest number of qualities inparison with other races
Just tell me the way.
Tsk! I dont like you. This garter belt is in your hand, isnt that your dead wifes thing?
Thats right. She always wore it for my sake ever since we started dating Answered the Hero sadly.
The demon then answered meanly to the desperate hero. Then you cannot say that she cannot be saved. The saint said that she couldnt be resurrected due to ack of soul, but even in the things that we often use, there is a part of the soul. With the help of Dark Energy, you can infuse life into this thing. If it doesnt work, then at least you can say goodbye. Or ask the identity of the one who subjected your wife to such torture? Huhu ~
*
I opened my eyes because of the sun rays streaming through the curtains. Buried in my chest, the naked daughter of the emperor was sleeping. She was lying face down because of her bruised ass. Even the slightest touch hurt her, so she didnt even cover herself with the nket.
Oh, right
The events of the previous night yed back like a recorded video in my head. The drunken princess was the first to say that she was hot and began to undress, and I, not at a loss, climbed under her skirt. And here was my loot.
In my left hand, I had the imperial princess garter belt.
Chapter 127 - I’m not a boy! Not yet a woman!
Chapter 127 - Im not a boy! Not yet a woman!
The skills of the fantasy world were indeed incredible. If the emperors daughter was a simple person, she would have slept all day, but she managed to recover in just a few hours and heal the bruises on her ass with magic. Opening her eyes, she spoke with a smile on her face.
I almost died of happiness.
Did you?
It was a pity that she didnt die. I took the gates of her castle by storm and, having broken in, continued my attack without respite. Just a little more, and I would have been waiting for sess. But as soon as I touched the princesss garter belt, a video started scrolling through my head. And this time, it wasnt a bedroom, but a funeral home.
Like the brooch, the First Hero presented this garter belt to his wife, but this time it was different. His wife didnt throw him away but died. More precisely, she was killed.
At night, I realized that you, Hero, not only fight well. It was my first timebut thanks to you, I didnt even feel fear or anxiety.
Well
I was about to kill the princess, so I didnt care about her feelings. If the Chaos Artifact hadnt interfered with me, I would have seeded.
Hero. This?
The princess nced at the garter belt in my hands.
Haha. It is a souvenir to remind you of the night with you, so I want to keep it. I cannot ask you to give me your underwear.
If you want, I could Oh! Yes, that is right! Underwear is such a gift! I think a garter belt is just right for the asion! Onlyyou wont give it to another girl, will you?
How could I?
This was, after all, for research purposes.
Wow! Is it Water Spirits?
Theyre pretty useful.
After the end of the process, the inhabitants of the fantasy world dry themselves off with wet towels, but I washed with the help of water spirits.
Hero. Please visit me whenever you want, the princess told me when I had already dressed and was about to leave. Again? How clingy!
Without turning around, I replied.
If I have a chance.
If she were still in the clouds somewhere, next time, I would finish her ass so that there would be no other time.
Oh! This service was free.

In the domain of the Duke of the Holy Empire, I used the Magic Circle of Dimensional Transference. I didnt have to wait for the dummies who would travel with Green Cake for about six months to grow. Now I needed to head east on the central continent. This was an adventure of collecting the five elf knights.
Earth Knight (Swordsman)
Fire Knight (Mage)
Wind Knight (Archer) - returned home
Water Knight (Healer)
Ether Knight (Tamer) - deceased
Archer E, whom I saved at the auction, returned to the kingdom of the elves, while Tamer E was killed in an ident. Three Knights remained missing. Tamer E left a hint for me, and my assistants, who workedpletely free of charge, would speed up the search process.
Search the eastern part.
The crowned spirits that harassed me 24 hours a day only pointed with their chin. Then the normal spirits circling went to search the eastern part of the continent. A ss society of spirits! No matter how you looked, there was no freedom and equality present among them.
I, too, couldnt just simply stand aside. Using the Magic Circle of Spatial Transport, I moved from the Holy Empire to the eastern part of the central continent. A country in thatnd that amassed wealth through foreign trade with the eastern continent: The Trade Republic. It was formed by merchants, gathering forces, and adopting a republican form of government from the eastern continent of Fantasy.
I met Merchant #16 in City C of the Trade Republic.
Curious: Why the merchant?
Good question, Miss Trainee! Merchant # 16 specialized in selling information, and during the first ythrough, I recognized his skills. His main product was information about the people of the central and eastern continents.
He had strong connections with the ck market, and his main products were the information of people in the central and eastern continent. He also worked part-time in a sales agency.
You said you were looking for elves?
Yes.
And you dont know the name and cant describe their appearance?
I told you. This is the Knight of the Earth and the Knight of the Water.
These arent nameswell. Okay.
Merchant #16 gave up and scratched his bald head. This habit made a huge contribution to the fact that he had be bald.
How long will it take?
I didnt even ask if he could find them or not. This was because, in the first ythrough, one of mypanions asked him to find a very beautiful girl, and this guy epted even such an absurd order. I gave my name, so he definitely wouldnt be able to say that he couldnt do it. As I expected, he reacted correctly.
I cant keep Kan Han Soo, who was able to kill the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, the head of the Five Disaster, which first appeared after 500 years waiting for long. I will not charge a separate fee because I have already obtained the information I need from you. Consider it an exchange.
Youre good.
Merchant #16 hinted that he would sell information about me. Cheeky, but I didnt mind.
Thank you. Many customers want to buy information about you. Appearance, ns, hobbies, strength, character, etc. One meeting with you was enough to learn a lot. But I will also tell you all the information that interests you.
Consent: As you said, he is a skilled trader.
He didnt need time to travel in search of information. Merchant #16 stood in front of me with his eyes closed as if in meditation. So, he rummaged through his memory. And this was only possible in a fantasy world.

A-rank intelligence. You could remember the name, appearance, and essence of a conversation with a person you met 100 years ago with such a rank. The problem was whether he could pick out the right person. It was because of this that Merchant #16 asked for the name of the elves I was looking for. If he had their names, it would be like searching through a dictionary.
However, I didnt know their names. Therefore, the task became more difficult.
Found them. Knight of Earth and Knight of Water. They belong to the five knights that they are so proud of in the kingdom of the elves. And what is amazingHoho! I didnt know what was happening under my nose. Such great knights were captured by the Dark Commerce and sold as ves
If you wanted to find the missing elves, then you needed to look for the ves in the market! This was the unspoken rule of the fantasy world.
Judging by your words, have they already been sold?
Yes. The Earth Knight, a well-built elf, was auctioned off at a high price. There was fierce bargaining among traders who arrived from the eastern continent. And the Water Knightshecks feminine charm, so she was sold for less.
In the fantasy world, discrimination based on gender and appearance flourished.
Do you know who they were sold to?
Yes, but meeting the Knight of the Earth will be difficult. She was already put in a boat and sent to the eastern continent. But you can meet the Knight of Water today.
The Earth Knight had been my target from the start. From Tamer Es exnation, the Earth Knight knew many of the queens secrets. The Water Knight was just a bonus. But what if she had already been sent to the eastern continent? I should at least meet with the bonus.
So, where is she?
In the theatre.
Theatre?
Not at a brothel?
*
The most popr date ce on earth was the cinema. There, of course, was something simr in the fantasy world. Vagrant troupe, the circus. However, there werent so many of them as cinemas on Earth. In the fantasy world, public transport wasnt developed. And people wouldnt go anywhere if they just heard that it was interesting.
Monsters and robbers roamed between cities and viges, so few people desired to go somewhere far to watch a performance. That was why there was a traveling theater, moving between populous cities.
I walked towards the huge tent located in front of the gates to the city, hearing a male voice from within.
I am the king of the elves Elfheim! And on thisnd, I will build the kingdom of the elves!
Hh
Repeat it now. Or do you want to starve today? I am the king of the elves Elfheim! And on thisnd, I will build the kingdom of the elves!
I am the king of the elvesI cannot! Better to beat me!
Was it a rehearsal room? I had slipped inside unnoticed. As it turned out, two people were rehearsing there.
Listen. Devotion to the country is, of course, good, but humans live here. No one will say anything if you y the king of the elves of Elfheim. Moreover, he is no longer the king now?
The elf wore clothing woven from leaves, like primitive people. He had been trying to convince her.
Thats not the problem.
However, it wasnt working well.
What is it then?
At the mans question, the elf silently looked down at her outfit. I had been to the kingdom of the elves several times already, so I knew that, even in the viges, the elves didnt wear such primitive outfits. However, this was how people imagined elves.
At that moment, the elf shouted, Why should I y a man?! Im not a man, but a woman! You make me stand on the stage in what my mother gave birth to and speak this shameful speech! Why all this?!
So you were a woman? It was too t, so I was wrong. The man, rubbing his cheek, smiled and began to make excuses.
But even if you say somale elves are too expensive for our budget. And I, who had yed the king of the elves up to this point, have be too old, so I can no longer y this role. And so we found you. You are t, and besides, the price for you wasnt high, well, you can be made up like a man without any problems
Kyaaa! The elf shouted and pounced on the man.
Calm, calm down!
Rather assault me! Humans are terrible! Do you like to trample on the remaining crumbs of the dignity of others? Sob, sob!
Aplete mess.
Pity: Im so sorry for this elvendy.
Miss Trainee. She had acted too unwisely.
I then burst inside. My arrival was quite sudden because there had been no time to hesitate. The man had already grabbed the elf who was yelling at him by the wrist. It could turn into a scuffle. Therefore, the S-rank Hero decided to help a little. When calming a violent elf down, I couldnt find a better method than this.
p!
I struck the elfs neck with all my might to calm her down. Out of habit, I almost hit the ce between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebra, but I wouldnt repeat the same mistake as with Tamer E.
Kururu
The raging elf fainted. The man brought a finger to the tip of her nose and checked to see if she was breathing; then, he sat down on the nearby wooden boxes with a sigh.
Thanks for helping me, sir.
We need to help each other.
The just Hero must save the inhabitant who was attacked by the wild elf.
But please forgive me. No performance todayif you have time,e tomorrow afternoon. In gratitude for your help, I will provide you with the best seat for free.
Did he not just thank me but also prepare a reward? This guy was pretty smart. I liked him. So, I decided to help him financially.
I just heard that you took this elf because the men are too expensive. Is that true?
Thats right.
Then I will buy this elf from you for the same price as an elven man.
Huh?
The man couldnt hide his surprise. A male elf was three times more expensive than a female elf.
The reason was two-fold. Lonely female feudal lords who, for personal or political reasons, hadnt married seek elf men to solve problems with their heirs and to satisfy their desires. And
The functionspared to the money. Even if a miracle happened, in two years, an elf could give birth to only one child of mixed blood, but for male elves, there were no such restrictions. They could help as many representatives of the human race as they had the strength for. For these reasons, men were more valuable than women.
What do you think?
I like it!
From the side came the crying voice of the awakened elf.
Dont treat me like Im a man. Evil humans
S-rank Hero has acquired the Elf Knight.
Chapter 128 - A queen’s dream
Chapter 128 - A queens dream
I was able to retrieve the Water Knight from the traveling theater. Since I paid for her as for an elf man, my wallet became smaller, but this amount still couldnt bepared with the amount I paid for Thief E, who had deceived me.
Knight of Water, she was an elf healer. You couldnt tell from her appearance, but she was kind to patients and had pretty good skills.

As expected of an elf, the skills were inplete disarray. First, they farmed, then something happened, and they started to lead a double life. Because of this, elves skills werent at all focused on one thing. However, there was nothing to be done about it; since there were few elves, each person had to do more work. On the other hand, representatives of the human race from the continents of Fantasy relied on the division ofbor.
Soldiers or mercenaries perfect theirbat skills until they die, and it was very rare to find those who retire due to age. When experience points were increased, youth was prolonged because the body became stronger. Although they still could not go beyond the lifespan of their race.
Hi. I am a righteous Hero.
Are you a Hero?
I dont understand why you look at me like a dead man who has risen from the grave, but I am really a Hero. Heaven and earth can confirm this. Ah! And even the spirits that are pretending to be innocent.
Did she notice that I had introduced myself? The Water Knight spoke quickly.
I apanied the beautiful Queen of Elfheim
I know everything, so you can shorten your exnation.
Do you know?
You are one of the Queens escort knights, you lost to a high-ranking demon and you were cursed. I just wonder why the queen went to thend of the humans.
I could, of course, sneak into the Demon Lords fortress and ask her personally, but the purpose of this passage was release. In y 4, I had missed the course and immediately cut the Demon Lords throat, only to still fail. Theoretically, there were no problems. In just a day, I had dealt with the resurrected Demon Lord, and the first of the Heroes quickly brought peace and tranquility to the fantasy world.
However, due to the unfair decision of the God of the fantasy world, I was never able to graduate. Therefore, Im not going to repeat past mistakes.
Question: Cadet Kang Han Soo, is it really necessary to collect the elf knights?
Miss Trainee, you may not know, but Im a perfectionist.
Surprise: I didnt know!
During the first ythrough, I solved many problems. I couldnt say that I had solved all the mysteries of the fantasy world, but I knew about the main major events. But an event happened that I knew nothing about, despite my twenty-five years of experience.
If I were to think about it, the more specific the event, the greater the reward for it. I didnt know if someone set it up on purpose, but there was a high probability of such a development. And this event was the rarest among others. If the summoned Hero werent strong from the very beginning, he wouldnt be able to save the Wind Knight (Archer) at the auction.
And the next one too. Ether Knight (Tamer E) was with the orcs. To take her out of there, you needed a high-level Hero or a lot of strong friends. Still, all this had a time limit. That was, this was a rather difficult task.
Understanding: So you think you have a huge reward?
Thats right, Miss Trainee. Thats why I am collecting five knights step by step. Missing something may change the result.
I had already approached all of this with great care.
Healer E, tell us about the goals of the licentious queen you apanied.
About the queens goals?
Confusion: This elf doesnt even deny that the queen was licentious.
Miss Trainee, be quiet. Now, something important will arrive at our ears.
She was extremely interested in the human world, especially in Heroes who were summoned from another world. Because when they arrived here, the culture of Fantasy changed and transformed.
Ho?
Have you seen mypanions?
Of course I have.
Really?! Healer E worried as she wiped away her tears. It seemed that she had a hard time after those people grabbed her. Having reserved a room in a city hotel, I replied.
Yes. I met the Ether Knight and the Wind Knight. Do you want to ask if they are okay? The Archer returned to the kingdom, and the Tamer teamed up with me but died in the battle against the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius.
It was an ident. Why exactly did her neck break?
Is that soshe fought bravely to the end?
Of course! She was just incredible from the start. When I first discovered the Tamer, she was surrounded by orcs, but even unarmed, she didnt give up and fought to the end. Seeing her ardor, I almost fell in love with her.
Although I had to admit I immediately cooled down as soon as I saw her breasts, like a LED monitor. But I refrained from adding that.
The Kingdom of Elfheim has lost one important starhowever, I think she would be content to die fighting along with the Hero against one of the Five Disasters. I hope the patrons of Elfheim will bless her soul.
Shes d.
Although these are empty words, thank you.
But its true.
This was because Tamer E was forever in my heart. Healer E, folding her hands and praying for the peace of her soul, should have heard my words. Returning to our topic
You say the queen was interested in the Heroes summoned?
Yes. The Elven King was not interested in this, so she couldnt conduct an active investigation. Still, under the pretext of entertainment, she wandered in the world of humans and collected information about the Heroes
Indeed
In y 9, he had died, but I could understand why Prince Nasus grew up so outstanding. The daughter looked like an inept father, while the son looked like an educated mother. Sitting on the wide bed, Healer E sighed.
But there arent many ces where the elf can move around quietly, so this didnt bring many results.
I expected that.
Not all elves in the human world were ves. There were evil elves who work as mercenaries, and there were happy elves who be engaged to people and received citizenship. There were even elf vers who sold their kind!
However, you have to be careful as there was a distinction. There were people everywhere who would scoff just because you had a different ear shape, especially in the ck market. They would only be happy if the goods came to them.
Healer E responded bitterly. The Elven King denies it, but the bulk of processed goods and intricate items have appeared in Fantasy thanks to the Heroes knowledge. There is even a legend that the First Hero told the Third Elven King that springs were needed for a soft bed.
Is that so?
How wild was the fantasy world? I also knew about the cultural work of the Heroes, but I didnt think that it was so serious. Senior heroes aplished more important welfare business than suppressing the evil king.
Healer E continued. You may not believe me, but the queens dream is to travel to the homnd of the Heroes. She has been looking for a way to get there for a long time.
Um? Hmm?!
My eyes widened in surprise. In the first ythrough, I managed to meet several inhabitants of the fantasy world who had simr thoughts to the queen; they wanted to go to Earth to adopt the products of civilization. But they were weak-willed, so everything ended in as mere desires. They werent looking for ways to get there, and so they just gave up.
The loose queen was different from them.
You seem to be interested in how you can return to your homnd?
Yes.
I wondered how far the queen hade in her research.
If you want to know more, find the Knight of the Earth and the Knight of the Fire.
Hey! Are you kidding?
Should I beat you to the point where your chest will swell?
Theres nothing you can do. Unlike the other knights who were in charge of guarding and caring for the queen, I was also in charge of the asylum in the capital of the elf kingdom. Therefore, for a long time, I wasnt with the queen.
Useless elf.
Im grateful to you for dragging me out of that awful theater where I was forced to be a man, but could you please speak more politely?
Its far better than a lie.
Oh
Pouting like a capricious girl, Healer Ey down on the bed. Burying her face in the soft pillow, she covered herself with the nket.
Zzz
And immediately, there was a snoring sound. She passed out as soon as she went to bed.
Ha! The Hero is talking to you! Hey!
p!
I pped Healer E on the only rounded part of her body.
Oh my god?!
Healer E immediately began to look around from such a sudden awakening. Seeing me, her expression immediately turned to distaste.
How can you touch the buttocks of a well-bred adult woman so shamelessly?
What? A well-bred woman? With a grin, I began to lecture her as a just Hero.
Wash yourself first, and then go to sleep. Dirty savage.
She should be grateful that I even cared about her. If I were a bad Hero, then without hesitation, I wouldve hit between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebra without thinking about whether I would break something or not. She didnt get hurt just because I hit her ass.
Surprise: Youre caring
*
The journey thus far brought results. There was a high probability that I wouldnt have been able to get information personally from the queen if I had just snuck into the Demon Lords fortress and asked her personally.
Why? Because the Hero was the Enemy of the Demon Lord. A queen who had begun a loving rtionship with the Demon Lord was unlikely to cooperate with me. If I were to ask her a question, she would most likely give false information. Or, she might skip an important part on purpose.
If so, was I too negligent about this event?
Healer E, what are you going to do?
The next morning, I asked Healer E if she would like toe with me.
I would like to return to my homnd to heal my wounded body and soul, but Im thinking about wandering with you, like my sister, and also find my missingpanions. I am concerned about something else. How upset the members of the royal family were when they learned that demons had kidnaped the queen
Dont worry about that.
Its easy to say.
This hero vouches.
Prince Nasus and Princess Sylvia, who were forever in the Heros heart, had no time to worry about their missing mother. And the pathetic King of the Elves
Although these are empty words, thank you.
You dont know, even when Im telling the truth.
Im sorry. But if I take all the words of the Hero seriously, then my mind will hurt.
You need to be more generous.
How can I be even more generous than now?!
I shook my head. This elf would have a persecution mania for a long time, as her nerves were now inmed to the limit. And so,o I changed the subject.
Where could the Fire Knight be?
Tamer E and Archer E said they didnt know; if Healer E also said that she didnt know, I would have to look for the Earth Knight or attack the Demon Lords fortress.
She is the best magician in the elven kingdom.
Just tell me the ce.
The Fire Knight who was defeated by the demons wasnt pursued by his followers because she used an escape scroll. This scroll contained the magic of spatial movement, which ignores all restrictions and instantly sends one to a certain ce. This thing has always been with the queenIm considering the possibility that the Fire Knight betrayed usHey, are you listening?
Yes. Go on.
Although it was annoying that her tirade was so long.
Unfortunately, only the Knight of Fire and the Knight of Earth, who the Queen trusted the most, know that ce.
And the queen?
It is highly likely that she has already forgotten. She is very inattentive in emergencies.
I rubbed my chin. The way to travel to Earthit was cool if they gave this as a reward, but there was a high probability that they might say something like we found a clue but couldnt find a way.
And for this, I needed to move across the sea to the eastern continent? Or sneak into the Demon Lords fortress and torture the queen there
Oh! Miss Trainee, erase myst statement from your memory.
Difficulty: Even if you say soits not me who is evaluating you.
Thinking about everything, I turned to the window.
Come to think of it, I have never seen Healer E.
My first ythroughsted about ten years. At that time, I wandered around different ces and saw the performances of all the traveling theaters. This I could say with confidence as traveling theaters werent verymon. Yet I had never seen Healer E ying the king of the elves, like yesterdays theater with that man.
And there was only one reason for this.
Are you treating me like Im not even here now?
Its not like that. You delusional elf.
Charuru-
I opened the windows in the hotel room and spread my wings. I had a satisfied smile on my face, and then I said, looking in the sky.
Wee, I am a fair Hero.
Like the other wild elves, the elf mage was embarrassed by the generous and warm gaze of an S-rank Hero.
Hwaruru-
She answered me by calling forth a fireball the size of a watermelon in her palm. Hah! So shyness and aggression coexist in this girl?
Kwagagang-!
Chapter 129 - Towards dreams and hope!
Chapter 129 - Towards dreams and hope!
But there was a huge difference between our skills. How could a famous S-rank Hero be on par with an unnamed mage? I didnt even have to fight. The Spirit of Fire artificially detonated the magicians fireball in the air, while the Spirit of Water extinguished it to avoid victims.
Chii
The smoking elf mage was about to flee, but the Spirit of the Wind knocked her down with a strong gust, and the Spirit of the Earth buried her hands and feet in the ground. The Spirit of Ether was thest to enter the battle. He clouded the mind of the elf mage.
Kyaaaa-?!
The elf who screamed in horror could no longer use her magic. I easily jumped off the 2nd floor of the hotel room. Spreading the wings of the just Hero, Inded in front of the elf.
I want to ask you something.
Hmph! You think Ill just tell you everything
Never say it.
Eh?
Ive umted stress due to recent events. Not every time, there is a chance for legal self-defense. The just Hero, who was suddenly attacked, wanted to settle everything peacefully, but the evil elf refused, so there is no other choiceHuhu?
I grabbed the elf and covered her mouth with my hand.
Umm?!
Miss elf, I wanted to settle everything peacefully. It was you who refused to speak right away.
Uuup?!
Grabbing Magician E, I then went back to the room.
*
King Dragon Noebius gave me a spank, Green Cakes upbringing was too slow, and on top of that, I had to restrain myself so as not to break the imperial princesss neck. It was a half month full of suffering! I felt proud of myself for holding back so far.
However, because of this, I found myself under some enormous stress.
What wonderful weather today!
But now I was awake, thanks to the elf who agreed to cooperate with the noble Hero. This elf also kindly shared not only important information but also experience points. How could you hate her? Because of this, I calmly decided to hide it in my heart.
This is shocking Healer E muttered to herself.
Thats right. Shocking, isnt it. I, too, could onlyugh when, after ten years of my hard work, mypanions decided to betray me.
As I recalled the first ythrough, anger immediately sneaked through. Mypanions always had only interfered and performed hypocritical acts. I suffered while correcting the evil that they had done. However, they repaid me with betrayal! They entered into a conspiracy and decided to deal with me after I dealt with the Demon Lord.
Healer E, as if correcting me, replied. No. Shockingly, youre still a Hero.
Why?
WellumI didnt live as long as the Fire Knight, but Ive seen many Heroes in my life. This is the first time Ive seen one like you.
I know.
Where else could you find an S-rank Hero who knocked down the Demon Lord just one day after being summoned? As we suspected, the Fire Knight was a traitor. She nned to return to Elfheim, having dealt with all her colleagues who knew the truth. Demons kidnaped the Queen, so the only thing left to do was deal with the Five Knights, and then no one would know the truth.
But Hero. Are you going to go there?
Of course.
We quickly made our way to the ce the Fire Knight had pointed out to us through the Magic Circle of Spatial Transfer. In this world, the title Hero Chosen by the God of the Fantasy World did little. You couldnt rely on the help of residents because all they had in mind was how to exploit the Hero.
However, if you had money, everything would change immediately. Residents of cities and viges immediately became friends, and the manner of speech of beautiful girls became softer. The same happened when you crossed the border. If you gave a patrolman some money for a drink, he would believe that I was a Hero, even if I didnt show the Holy Sword.
Troooooog?!
Troooooom?!
Throoooox?!
As we walked, we encountered brown trolls. It was evident from their faces that they were extremely hungry, but they decided to run away as soon as they saw my smile. This was an insult to the smiling Hero!

They were slightly stronger than normal trolls, averaging around level 150, and there were three of them. They could easily beat down new parties, but everythings rtive.
Trook?!
Trooooob?!
Troooof!
This time the Spirits dealt with them. As soon as the Spirits dwelling in my armpits and between my legs leaned out to give the order, the familiar spirits hovering around immediately got down to business. And these Spirits were considered innocent? Still, the inhabitants of the fantasy world had a wild way of thinking.
Anyway
We were heading for the Holy Kingdom bordering the Sea Kingdom. In the central continent, this country had the most heroes. Unlike the Holy Empire, which was known in the central continent for itsrge territory and military power that deified the emperor, the Holy Kingdom worshiped the God of the fantasy world and was a religious state. It is from there that Saint A and the mermaid Aqua originally lived.
Is this the right way? Healer E asked carefully, having be obedient after I delivered her from the demon curse. I could only say one thing.
What if its not? What are you going to do?
N-No, nothing
Although I gagged Healer E, I was also annoyed. I realized that the ce the Fire Knight talked about was one of the dungeons that I had visited before. During the first ythrough, I visited the Holy Kingdom and explored this dungeon at the request of Saint A. I didnt know there was a secret passage. If there were a simple treasure chest hidden in it, I would be okay with it. However
A device that moves to Earth
Thats what the Fire Knight said. There was mechanical equipment in the ce where the escape scroll moved her. It seemed unclear where the mechanical equipment coulde from in the fantasy world, but in the northern continent, they had somehow made a super robot.
Not only were they skilled, but the dwarves from the southern continent, home of magical engineering, had the best technology in all of Fantasy. So, anything was possible. One of the older Heroes could have gotten bored of the mothend and created a device that embodied the magic of dimensional transfer. I dont know if he managed to return to his homnd, but maybe I would find out when I got there.
I dont understand, Healer E, who followed me, broke the silence.
What?
The Kingdom of Elfheim is west of the continent, and the Holy Kingdom is in the east. Between them is and of people and ake where mermaids live, so its difficult to walk there. Why did the queen choose such a ce to escape? Besides, there is also a dungeon
Ask her yourselfter, I shrugged and walked on.
You could ask her when I go to the Demon Lords fortress; I dont want to waste time on unnecessary guesswork. The dungeon were heading to is located in the very center of the forest, known in the Holy Kingdom for being full of monsters. If you look from afar, it would seem that there was only white stone, but if you look closely, you could understand that this was a temple buried in the ground due to andslide or earthquake.
There were two ways to enter this dungeon: dig at random to find a normal entrance or, using the clock tower peeping out of the ground, go down there like chimney sweeps. I chose the second one.
Healer E, have you never been here?
No, this is my first time here.
A little suspicious, but I dont think shes lying. Healer E didnt need to lie.
Follow me.
In the 1st attempt, I went down the rope. But now I had the wings of a just Hero, thanks to which I descended without even lifting a finger.
How can I get down? Healer E asked a stupid question from the top of the clock tower.
Thats your problem, so why are you asking me?
UmI thought you would take me in your arms, and we would go down together.
Was our rtionship close enough to face each other chest-to-chest?
More precisely, we have a rtionship between a master and a ve.
Im sorry, I must be confused.
Well, but now you know.
After Inded, Healer E jumped down from the tower without a rope. But she didnt die. One of the innate qualities of the elves was lightweight, thanks to which Healer E zigzagged down the walls of the tower. Such mastery was possible thanks to her body being above level 999.
I clicked my tongue at the calm Healer E. Not because I didnt like her solution, but because I remembered how hard it was climbing the rope in the first attempt. At that time, it was really
?Suggestion: Doesnt that show how much stronger you have be, Kang Han Soo?
Wow, Miss Trainee, are you interested?
? Indifference: I just do what I have to, as an intern. And not because Im interested in the device with which it will be possible to return to Earth without the help of the God of the fantasy world.
Well, so be it. I brushed off cobwebs and dust. If tomb robbers and adventurers hadnte here, it would have been full of cobwebs and dust, but thanks to them, my clothes didnt get very dirty. They washed it with their clothes first.
There were a few proud heroes of the Holy Kingdom among the robbers.
Hero, isnt it dark for you?
It doesnt bother me.
Even without the help of the Sight and Secret Murder skills, I could see well in the dark, thanks to the race Natural Man. Receiving the protection of nature, I saw this world differently. I dont look at things with my eyes and with the help of the information received, but instead, I distinguish objects by whether they were filled with nature or not.
Ohapparently, it only worries me. I will light a fire.
Healer E used the Spirit of Fire. A girl with hair burning like a torch appeared and whirled around me, not Healer E.
HmmIm too popr
Ah?! My friendliness with spirits is falling!
Healer E screamed in horror when the Spirit of Fire left her.
Hush. This is a dungeon.
So-sorry
We moved quickly forward. One had to be careful not to step on the trap, but Id already been here, so it was nothing to me. Bloody LanuvelI remembered how much I suffered because she deliberately stepped on the traps.
Healer E whispered. You seem to have been here before. You step forward without fear.
I have. Was it twenty years ago? Or twenty-two?
I no longer remember how many years it had been. But I remembered the exact structure of the dungeon. And soon
Guoooo
Guoooo
Shivering voices were heard. And in the darkness, eyes appeared, glowing green, like wandering lights. In the 1st ythrough, this also happened around here. It was time to appear to the fools who had fallen into the traps here.
? Race: Ghoul
? Level: 475
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 200%)
? Skills: Composure A, Steadfastness A, Unbreakable Body B, Javelin Throw B, Roar B
? Condition: Hunger, Void
No matter how high their levels were, the trapped adventurers died of hunger. And then they wandered around here, trying to turn the rest of the losers into the same monsters.
HmmI came early.
The beautiful face of the ghoul, which I had seen for the first time, appeared in front of me. Level 475! If we met in my 1st ythrough, it would be a tough fight. But in front of me now, this was nothing.
I simply cut and proceeded And after a while, we arrived at our destination. If you walk a little more, you will find yourself in the center, where the treasury is located, but I wasnt interested in those antiques. There was a trap in the form of a deep pit, and at the bottom, there were steel spikes. Who knew there was a secret passage in such a ce?
Thats why dungeons are interesting.
Clinging to the wall with my wings and going down, I smiled.
It was easy to miss in such a ce, but down there in the blind spot of the cliff that could be inadvertently passed; there was indeed the passage that the Fire Knight spoke of.
Pitapat ~
For the first time in a long time, my heart pounded. A dungeon that a Hero with twenty-five years of experience didnt know about? I had a suspicion that my dreams and hopes woulde true here.
Chapter 130 - What’s with the Earth?
Chapter 130 - Whats with the Earth?
The inside of the secret passage was clear, indirect evidence that someone had already been here before me. Magician E said that she was here, but it seemed that someone besides her was here recently. I continued to move deeper into the tunnel. Healer Es footsteps could be heard behind me, but I ignored them. Now, I needed to stay focused.
I didnt know where the traps might lie.
Well, theres nothing? You shouldve said it earlier.
The spirits living in the dungeon said it was safe here. Therefore, I didnt hesitate any longer and quickly set off to my final destination.
Ha! So its true.
As Magician E and Healer E said, there was mechanical equipment here. When I first saw the golems, whose structure resembled robots, it seemed to me that they were something alien to the fantasy world, but here it was felt even more strongly. This ce smelled more of science rather than magic. The power source, which was the most importantponent of golems, was based on magic, so they could hardly be called aplete science product.
Like, a Marite. No matter how skillfully you make a doll, it will still be a doll. But as soon as she began to move with the help of magic, it was already an android. The equipment in front of my eyes was the exact opposite. If you were to describe its shape, it would be more like a capsule. And the size was such that a person could fit there. However, I didnt know what would happen if you got in there.
No matter how you look, science is involved here.
With my meager knowledge of the school curriculum, I couldnt understand anything. But I knew thenguage in which everything was written.
I havent seen my nativenguage for a long time.
After reading the long exnation in the drawing, I frowned.
?Interest: What is written there?
Good question, Miss Trainee. Ill read it.
Having learned that this world is an artificial garden for my cultivation, I began to look for a way to return to Earth. But in my school years, I was an outcast, and my grades left much to be desired, so it was a difficult task for me. But at that moment, I met a beautiful demon. Her name is Scioscia. She was a cruel woman with breasts you couldnt take your eyes off
Then there were only some jokes and excuses. He praised the Demon Lords daughter Scioscia and talked about how he confessed his feelings to her, but was refused in the end. Thanks to this, the content got down to business.
Scioscia, who hurt my feelings, gave me the knowledge of how to make equipment to return to Earth. When I was still a schoolboy, it was difficult to realize, but I was made wiser with the help of the skills of the fantasy world, and it was within my power. I did everything as Scioscia taught me.
Here was a moron. He did everything as he was told, and he still had the nerve to say that he was smart. In addition to this, here was the main thing.
I was deceived by Scioscia. No, she wasnt lying because I have returned to Earth. But just a little. I can send only my avatar, created from experience points, and control it remotely while I have enough strength for it. This is a sess, but only partially. My soul and body were forever tied to the fantasy world.
Godso it was true Healer E muttered, looking at the equipment.
You didnt seem to believe it.
Yes. I didnt think it was possible to move through dimensions.
The authors story was still not over. It looked more like a diary now.
The fees for moving between dimensions are terrible. Since you instantly lose your level and skills. Thanks to this, I could be on Earth for a long time, but I spent the strength that I had collected for seven years in just a week. And I ran into a real problem. Weakened, Im stuck in this secret ce.
There was no need to read the rest. There, the author only wrote about how hungry he was.
Sorry for him.
Thanks to him, we learned valuable information.
I didnt know how many years the author was a Hero, but seven years was a long time, and it took only seven days to use all that experience. The value for money was terrible.
Rubbing my chin, I began to think. The capsule itself was small, but the equipment in hexagonal iron blocks was quite huge. I wouldnt put them in the Storage; I needed to find another way out. In the fantasy world, you could get as many experience points as you want, but it was more difficult with skills.
Its a shame.
I couldnt dare to use it. If this thing took my transcendental skills, then I might just explode from the pressure that rose.
Hero, will it work?
Having touched the capsule, Healer E carefully asked, If youre so interested, want to use it on yourself?
N-no!
This was amon reaction. I gave up the mechanical equipment without regret, and I focused on Scioscia, who passed these schemes to the author. She must learn how to create an avatar using only experience points.
? Surprise: Cadet Kang Han Soo. Do you want to use this anyway?
If you could only lose experience points, then I wouldnt mind using this device. Thanks to the Natural Human race, I had no problem collecting more. This equipment was eating many experience points, and I could absorb huge amounts of experience points. This would create some bnce.
I definitely thought that it was worth a try.
Sciosciashe should probably be looked for in the northern continent.
I could safely get to the northern continent, but I was incrediblyzy. And there was no guarantee that she was there. There was a possibility that Scioscia was one of the leaders or even the boss of the ck market, but if you were to go to the branch of the ck market and asked to meet with her, they would neverply with this request. During the first ythrough, when I fought against the ck market, I didnt even know about the existence of Scioscia.
The demon would never meet a hero. It would be better to immediately visit the Demon Lords fortress. Because Pedonar was her father, shouldnt he know where his daughter lived? Although he just wont say.
Lets go. I found out everything I wanted.
Wait! This is the Queens handwriting, Healer E said, holding a piece of paper in her hands. I was only focused on mechanical equipment, but there were a lot of other things around here. I didnt know if he ran away or died of hunger, but that guy lived here. Household items remained to mark his existence, and on the floor was the Magic Circle of Spatial Transfer. It must be associated with the escape scroll.
What is written there?
This isa will. It says that whoever finds this device must not destroy it but must use it. This is amission because the equipment will help the development of Fantasy. The queen tried it personally on herself. Although not at all long.
There seemed to be a story about how she visited Earth.
Come to think of it
Pictures hung on the walls as if drawn by a preschooler. I didnt pay attention to them because they looked like childrens scribbles, but looking closer, I realized that these were cityscapes from Earth. Buildings, cars, traffic lights, suspension bridges, metro
All of this wasnt to be found in the fantasy world. I missed home even more; I wanted to return even sooner.
It drives me crazy.
I remembered sitting over a dirty pot during the first ythrough, although now nothing had changed. I missed being able to flush a toilet. But more than that, I would like to know if my parents are okay. With this device, I could go to Earth and immediately find out how they were, but this required a lot of thought.
First, safety. While I was in the capsule, someone might attack me, and the cost of such a move shouldnt be ignored, either. It would be very problematic if all my skills were to disappear. I decided that someday I would manage without them, but now I needed them to keep things safe. I was also worried about the consequences. Therefore
Healer E, get inside.
What?!
You promised that you would help the Hero when I pulled you out of the theater? Was it just empty words?
It-it wasnt, but
Healer E hesitated. I knew what she was worried about, as I was worried about the same thing.
Theres nothing to be done with the skills, but Ill take responsibility for your experience points and restore them. If you want, I can give you Spirits. Taking this opportunity, you can start everything from scratch, bing a Shaman.
Really?
Im a fair Hero. And Im not lying.
Ohokay.
The doubtful Healer E opened the capsule lid and went inside. And as soon as she closed it, green gas filled the entire space inside like poison.
Trembling
The elf began to tremble with fear. Wouldnt she be choking like that? As ifughing at my concern, Healer E began to breathe evenly. I hastened to tell her.
Go and find out what is happening in that world. Ill try to make it a day longer.
All right, Hero.
Healer E replied out of a sense of duty, and her eyes became like a drug addict. And her level immediately began to fall.
Level 999 Level 756 Level 755 Level 754
At once, it dropped significantly, but then this process slowed down. However, I knew how hard it was to raise even 1 level at such high values, so I wasnt in aughing mood. It was like an earthen pot that had a big crack. However
Level 753 Level 796 Level 831 Level 875
I tried to replenish the water in this pot. I could imagine how lost the elf would be when she first came to Earth, but she needed at least a day to collect useful information.
Its awful.
Reading the exnations, I hoped that everything was wrong, but it was good that I still read the instructions.
? Race: Elf
? Level: 638
? Specialization: Unemployed (Experience 110%)
? Skills: -
? Condition: Hallucination
Healer Es skills were gone; nothing remained of them. If I hadnt supplied her with experience points, her level would have dropped to 1 as well.
?Expectation: I wonder what the result will be.
Me too, Miss Trainee. Hmm?
Level 638 Level 637 Level 253 Level 1
Healer Es level suddenly dropped. There was a lot of time before the day ended, and I provided her with enough experience points. Then what happened?
Chiii-
The green smoke in the capsule began to dissipate which meant that the device had stopped working.
Cough, cough!
Healer E bent over from the capsule and fell to the floor. She began to vomit and then cough violently. But I didnt care.
Hey! What happened?
Hero. Cough, cough! I found myself in a forest of huge trees made of stone and ss, and it was full of people. Suddenly, beautiful girls descended from the sky and destroyed the trees, and I found myself under the rubble together with people. I have a strong body, so I didnt die, but in the end although I do not understand thenguage of people,it seems that those girls were called Valkyries.
Valkyries!
This was what the First Hero called the Legion of Golems. It seemed that aliens from another world continue to attack Earth. Should Healer E be sent there again?
I shook my head. It wouldnt change anything. There were Heroes on Earth who would deal with the invaders.
Heck! Its not good! You did a good job, now please excuse me.
Mmmm?!
I gave the promised reward to Healer E: experience points and Spirits.
? Race: Elf
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Shaman (Blessing = Spirit )
? Skills: Spirit A, Blessing B, Charisma F, Love F
? Condition: Embarrassment, Excitement, Recovery
Pulling my tongue out of Healer Es mouth, I immediately turned away. There was noo time to waste. But when I said goodbye to her, I didnt forget to say kind words in the end.
Healer E, no, Shaman E. I will pray that you will meet a nice guy who will see you as a woman, not as a man. In the name of the Divine Hero, I bless you. Mon.
I opened the wings of a just Hero, and then headed for the exit.
Get away!
Guoooo?!
Guoooo!
I didnt have time to y with the dungeon losers because I needed to meet the Demon Lord.
Chapter 131 - Demon Lord Pedonar
Chapter 131 - Demon Lord Pedonar
I flew straight to the Demon Lords domain, not needing either apass or a map as a 3D map of this world was imprinted in my head. Unfortunately, I couldnt wait for Green Cake to grow up. I didnt have time tozily umte Reputation and Achievements. There was nothing to be done, but I couldnt stand aside knowing that the Earth was in danger.
?Excitement: Arent you too hurried?
Miss Trainee. Ill give you an example. You went on a trip abroad but saw the news that there was a strong earthquake or typhoon in your country. Worried about your parents, you call home, but your parents dont answer. What would you do if you were me, Miss Trainee?
? Embarrassment: I just want to spend some more time with you, Kang Han Soo. If I meet a Hero like Sieg again, I will go bald
The bald head of a girl with a pretty appearance
Because of her statement, I began to suspect if she was a girl at all. Mister Trainee?
I flew for a long time listening to the miss trainees nagging but reached the Demon Lords stronghold without obstacles. I also slipped past the demon army that trampled the central continent in y 8. This wasnt modern Earth. There were Wyverns to fly on, but air routes werent particrlymon. Therefore, their air defense was weak.
p- Thud.
Inded on the terrace where the Demon Lord once had fun with the Elven Queen. It would be possible to jump from above, breaking through the roof, but this time I needed to ask the Demon Lord something, so I decided to act more politely. However, I hadnt changed my mind about destroying it.
You have an excellent body, Demon Lord.
Ahem. These are the basics
Ah! Such stic muscles. My husband is no match for you. Faster, Demon Lord. I am your prisoner, so I will notin if you are rude to me.
As I expected, I heard the voices of the demon and the elf.
Queen of Elfheim, are you sorry for the Elven King?
What are you talking about? Im just a weak hostage. And I humbly obey you so that you treat me a little better. The king praying for the welfare of his wife will surely understand.
Arent you too active for a captive?
Thats a misunderstanding. I see how you yearn to take possession of the poor body of the captive, and I have no choice but to obey. Huhu!
Bam!
I knocked on the window. I didnt want to interfere with the sweet conversation between the Demon Lord and the elf, but my hand reached by itself for the window after listening to their conversation.
Queen. A guest came to us.
Yes. Appearing to the Demon Lord in broad daylight, when he punishes his captivewhat an uneducated and rude guest.
Suddenly bing an uneducated and rude Hero, I entered through the window.
Sorry to interfere.
There was only a throne in the spacious hall. Like doves, the demon and an elf sat together: the Demon Lord Pedonar and the wife of the Elf King. No matter how you looked, they didnt look like a vile demon and a pitiful prisoner. The Queen, naked every time I saw her, this time being no exception, was calm. It seemed that she didnt care at all that a member of the opposite sex could see her without clothes. The Demon Lord, however, hadmon sense.
Ahem.
p~
Clearing his throat in embarrassment, the Demon Lord Pedonar handed his robe to the Elven Kings wife. And getting up from the throne, calmly asked me:
Are you a hero of this time?
Yes, I am, Demon Lord. Lets do without introductions. You may not remember me, but I know you very well. Andthis Heros level is high, so you dont need time to get used to it?
Do you know a little about demon politics? Have you gone through regression yet?
I answered him with a grim smile. As expected, the Demon Lord Pedonar was no fool. He immediately knew about the regression.
But Hero. Even so, arent you in too much of a hurry? It seems like half a month has passed since your call?
Well, Im pretty outstanding.
Is that sosorry. With your growth, if you raised your level for another 500 years, you would be a good opponent.
500 years?
He didnt seem to be joking, as his skills had improved.
? Race: First Demon
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Demon Lord (Hero Level )
? Skills: Dark Energy Z, Immunity Z, Swordsmanship Z, Immortality Z, Resilience Z
? Condition: Interest
This situation was simr to the fifth ythrough when I had a high level. But it seemed that this wasnt the limit of the Demon Lords skill rank. He was even stronger than in y 5. If I were stronger than I was now, would the Demon Lord also be stronger? Did he have no limit at all? Then it didnt matter how much stronger I were to get.
Hero. I have a proposal for you.
Proposal?
Yes, an offer. You went through a regression, so you think you know well about this world, but your knowledge is superficial. I will tell you about a new hunting ce. How about getting stronger and then challenging me again?
The Demon Lord wanted the Heros level to be higher: this was demon politics. Because of his deception and ttery, I smiled.
Demon Lord. You miscalcted a little if you thought I came back because I lost on thest adventure. Somehow I was even able to defeat Scioscia.
Oh! So youre my daughters boyfriend.
And how did youe to this conclusion?
Haha! Struggle brings men and women closer together. I see. Since youre Scioscias boyfriend, lets talk a little more. Hero. Raise your level ande to me in 100 years. Then I promise that I will arrange a wedding for you with Scioscia. What do you think?
To marry this cowardly demoness?
I refuse!
Why do you refuse? There is no girl in this world more charming and lovely than Scioscia!
Why are you asking me to level up? I answered a question with a question. Frowning, the Demon Lord Pedonar pointed to the sky and said.
To escape from this world.
*
The penalty for the Demon Lords specialization was that his level became the same as that of the Hero. And the stronger the Hero, the stronger the Demon Lord. These were thews of this world. The fantasy world could only exist when there was a Hero and a Demon Lord in it. If one of them disappeared, then this mirage would also disappear. For the Demon Lord to escape from this world, no matter how ironic it may sound, he needed the Hero to have a high level.
If there was strength, would it be possible to try to escape? Naturally, all this wouldnt work out just in one go. As if making a hole with a spoon in the wall of a prison, every time the strength increased, he could gradually change thews of this world to be advantageous to himself.
Is that possible?
Of course, Hero. I have already seeded once. The hero, whose personality didnt match the wishes of the God of the fantasy world, was released.
Thats
Had this Demon Lord done such a great deed? I developed an interest and respect for him.
Hero. I can only tell you this. If you want to know something else, thene after you be stronger. Then Ill arrange a wedding for you and Scioscia and tell you everything you want to know.
Arent fathers, on the contrary, particrly eager to give their daughters in marriage?
Most of the noblemen I remember were like that. The Demon Lord replied, A long time ago, I was like that too. But recently, I want to see the grandchildren of my lovely daughter. I want to hear from my grandchildren that their grandfather is the best.
Hmm
Such a simple dream didnt suit someone called a Demon Lord.
If you want, you can skip the wedding ceremony. The result is what matters. Scioscia is now active in the northern continent under the pseudonym of the Marquise Sorceress. As far as I know, the best time to conceive is in the morning, so if you use my advice, you will be sessful.
Thank you, but this is unnecessary.
I had gotten all the information I needed. The Demon Lord had information such as the truth about the history of this world, but I wasnt interested in that. All that mattered to me was returning. I was not very interested in the history of the Earth, so the history of the Fantasy world was all the more useless for me. Now, only the graduation remained.
Poof!
I summoned the Holy Sword Nuclyon, and the Demon Lords face immediately grew interested.
This is the first time Ive seen such a sword. Where did you get it?
From Earth.
I seeI got important information. And this is my return gift; I grant you the title of Demon Lord. When you get rid of the Heros harness, it will be of immense help to you.
I already have it.
With this, I opened the ck Box wide.

The skills I had raised this time and earlier hade together. However, the skills that reached the MAX rank didnt grow anymore. It was a pity, but someday I would confront the God of the fantasy world, and then I would have to get rid of all this. If one were to think so, was it not so bad?
Appeasement S Appeasement SS
The Demon Lord Pedonar immediately noticed.
Ho! So youre already qualified for the Demon Lord? Good! It seems that the Demon Lord from another world, who allowed the Hero to do this, had simr thoughts. Lets move on to the next stage.
The next stage?
What was it?
You will know when you defeat me.
Okay.
I was tired of turning the ck Box on and off every 9 seconds. I decided to finish quickly and return to Earth. I didnt blindly challenge the Demon Lord; I knew what to do.
Level 2829 Level 900
Experience points turned into a strength. The de of the Holy Sword of Nuclyon burst forth with a green me.
What the?
The Demon Lords level plummeted. The amount of Dark Energy that surrounded his body also decreased. The same thing happened with other skills.
? Race: First Demon
? Level: 900
? Specialization: Demon Lord (Hero Level )
? Skills: Dark Energy SSS, Immunity SSS, Swordsmanship SS, Immortality SS, Resilience SS
? Condition: Confusion
And then, I swung the Holy Sword. The Demon Lord Pedonar didnt dodge the attack. Not only did he not evade, but he pushed the Elven Kings wife away so as not to involve her. And he received all the power of the Hero.
However, he couldnt stand a second.
Chaaa-
And not only the Demon Lord. The Demon Lords fortress, which wasrge enough to house an army of hundreds of thousands of demons, was shattered into pieces. Numerous demons, a naked elf, all the buildings, pets of the Demon Lord, cute slimes
Everything had been swept away, without exception.
? Bitterness: Kang Han Soo. It seems to me that the Demon Lord was incredibly cool when he pushed the Elven Queen away?
Really? Miss Trainee, your preferences are strange. I just felt that he was extremely stupid.
?Dear Hero, was your adventure fun?
Apart from when I got a 50 hitbo from my dearpanion, it was fun.
?The path of a real hero is really hard. But after finding the countless bonds that inspired you, you didnt lose hope and continued to believe. You have known friendship and love, and after growing up together, you finally defeated the evil Demon Lord. Congrattions!

It couldnt be! I had never received such ratings before. Not only was I given an F for Combat Power, but for a Personality, I somehow had a FFF. How did this happen? The reason could be found out immediately.
? You have failed the test.
? Reason: You killed a cutepanion; such an act is unforgivable. In addition, the grades you obtained by manipting prohibited skills have been canceled. Please try not to do such rash actions during the next recertification.
? Start the test again.
Because of Lanuvel?
At the end of the first ythrough, I suddenly attacked mypanions and killed them. In-y 2, I killed the future Elven Queen Sylvia and the mermaid Aqua. However, the Personality score still didnt fall below F.
Then, what was the matter? Even though I had done good deeds, such as saving useless elves, just because I killed Lanuvel, who was always pretending to be cute, my Personality score had immediately dropped to FFF. In addition to this, there was the maniption of prohibited skills. Before that, I used the ck Box without any problems, but now the system, for some reason, considered it prohibited.
This was a warning from the God of the fantasy world that I wouldnt be able to return to Earth if I used the ck Box.
? Constion: Dont be discouraged! With your skills, Kang Han Soo, you can graduate next time!
Thank you, Miss Trainee.
Only, it wasnt at allforting. I wanted to return to Earth now and protect my parents, but the damn God of the fantasy world openly blocked my way. Did the fact that I couldnt help your parents in any way affect your personality assessment? If something were to happen to my parents, I swear that I would personally break the back of the God of the fantasy world between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.

Wee, Sir Hero!
As always, an annoying Lanuvel greeted me.
I know youre very embarrassed to be summoned like this without warning, right? This is Fantasy. A different dimension from where Sir Hero was born. Indeed, it is difficult to grasp everything at once. I will begin to exin everything step by step. Excuse me, Sir Hero? Are you listening to me?
No, I dont listen to you at all. Anyway, she kept repeating the same thing. However
Im listening to you carefully, Miss Lanuvel! No matter how much I listen to your sweet voice, it doesnt bother me at all! Came the voice of some guy.
Huh? Hero, do you know Lanuvel?
Haha! Of course! Weve been traveling together for five years, how can I forget? I am extremely d that I was able to see Miss Lanuvels sweet face again.
Hihi. Im ttered-
Deep down, I wanted to kill her, but I endured it. Second Hero. He was somewhat simr to Sieg, but at the same time, different from him. He was a light-haired guy with a sugary face, unlike Sieg, who quickly adjusted since this wasnt his first ythrough. And he not only remembered Lanuvel
Do not worry. Inhabitants of Fantasy. And dear Lanuvel! I will take responsibility and kill the Demon Lord. I already have experience, so that you can rely on me!
He, like me, was already able to defeat the Demon Lord. What were the skills of this guy?

There was a primitive firearm for which gunpowder was used in the world of Fantasy, but the existence of magic and spirits simply stopped its poprity.
Magic could easily rece gunpowder, and if the spirits of water or fire intervened, then gunpowder would be useless. Therefore, it was extremely difficult to improve the skill level of Artillery. But he had A rank?
I could understand it with another skill. The Vault skill was a four-dimensional space in which personal items could be stored, and this rare skill could only be acquired at the Festival of Heroes, where only graduates who had defeated the Demon Lord could enter.
That being said, he was a graduate. There was a high probability that he increased his Artillery skill from the Earth. If so, why did he return to this wild world?
Sorrycould you get dressed first? Said a flushed Lanuvel.
I had been naked when I emerged from the womb of the princess of the northern continent, but why was he without clothes? He answered this question.
God! When I was dying, apparently the equipment and clothes evaporated its okay if Miss Lanuvel sees my magnificent body, but I dont want others to stare at me.
Poof!
The guy pulled out what looked like a pearl from the vault. After that, an incredible phenomenon urred.
Click, click.
This iprehensible object enveloped the guys entire body. In just a couple of seconds, armor appeared on it.
What is it?
We would discuss the functionalityter. But wasnt that cool?! He had heard my whispering.
Haha! Good to meet you. Is this the first time youve seen this? This is a new product developed at the Victoria factory and given to a select 100 people. The official name is Slime Armor. Not the most durable, but portable and veryfortable.
Slime Armor! It was like a superhero costume that immediately appeared on you as soon as a viin were to appear in front of you. This was the dream of all heroes.
I coveted it. A sense of rivalry began to y in me, so I wanted to get out the Angel Outfit from the Vault but stopped. This was because I was wondering what this guy would do. There was nothing to learn from the defective Sieg, but an experienced Hero-graduate was another matter altogether.
Incredible.
Ha. Trust your older brother.
Older brother? For the first time in a long time, I saw a person who didnt bow his head in front of me. Instead of irritation, it caused surprise, as if I were looking at some natural monument. However, he could be cocky in front of me because he had a reason.
? Race: Natural Human
? Level: 900
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: S, Interpretation A
? Condition: Good
Of course, the S-rank ck Box was invisible to the rest, so I had nothing to make me shine except for race and level. Hero level 900 without skills. If you didnt constantly maintain the level of mastery of skills, then all skills would disappear, and only the level remained like the King of Elves. Was that how I looked in this guys eyes?
Hey, and you have a good race. Im not in a position to say anything to others, but if the level is preserved after returning, then you can start in a better position. I couldnt bring down the Demon Lord, but since you died at level 900, it means that you must know a lot about the world of Fantasy.
He had good analytical skills. All he needed was a nce at my race.
?Type: Race
Name: Natural Human
Rank: Unique
Unique 1: Absorb XP
Unique 2: Preserve XP
Unique 3: Use XP
? Feature 1: Receives the love of spirits
? Feature 2: Receives the patronage of nature
? Feature 3: Receives the energy of the universe
? Race 1: Excellent reproduction
? Race 2: Contains various possibilities
I looked at this guys race. He wasnt an Arch Human, which was the universal race of all Heroes.
? Type: Race
? Name: Unique Human
? Rank: Legendary
? Legendary 1: Seemingly unfortunate circumstances lead to sucess
? Legendary 2: A disadvantage makes you stronger
? Legendary 3: Vignce bes strength
? Feature 1: Increased luck effect

? Race 1: Excellent reproduction
? Race 2: Contains various possibilities
Suchfortable and helpful race effects made me speechless. As expected from the Legendary rank!
You seem to have seen my race. On Earth, people who saw my race for the first time also made such an expression! There are a few more like me, but there arent so many of us among the Heroes. By the way, my name is Luke.
Is that a nickname?
There was no surname in the introduction, and it seemed that he came up with that name on the go. Luke smiled as he responded.
Ill teach you something, brother. If you want to achieve fame in the world of Fantasy, you need a name that is easy to remember. This isnt my subjective opinion, but from the statistics that I have seen on Earth. Heroes with long or oriental names had low poprity.
I received some very useful information, and so I wrote it down. The Heros name should be short, like in the west. I didnt want to change the name my parents gave me, thereby expressing disrespect to them, but I think it was better to graduate faster and help my parents on Earth. Therefore, I needed to think about changing my name.
My name is Kang Han Soo.
Your real name. And judging by that name, youre Korean.
Yes, that is right.
If you want to graduate faster, then I advise you to take a pseudonym. I will advise you on one, what do you think? If you dont like it, you can refuse. You dont lose anything from this, do you?
However, we couldnt continue the conversation because Lanuvel intervened and brought me clothes.
Dear Heroes, better talk while we go.
Luke smiled and replied.
If dear Miss Lanuvel asks us, how can we refuse? By the way, there is even a fan club for you on Earth.
Really?!
Yes.
For some reason, I wanted to destroy such an Earth. The Earth that I loved would never havee down to that.
Ah! Luke. How is it now on Earth?
We cannot say that everything is good. With my death, my strength decreased by 30%, but the most amazing thing is, I thought my days would be dark after I lost to the aliens. Yet I met sweet Lanuvel again! This is a reward for all the time that I have protected the Earth.
Is she cute? I inquired, pointing to the hated Lanuvel, who walked in front while shamelessly swinging her hips in different directions. Luke replied as if it were something natural.
Shes cute?
The interview with the Dumpling King went smoothly too. Luke immediately introduced himself as a Hero Who Came from the Future, thereby capturing the hearts of the royal family and aristocrats. In the case of free help, nothing had changed.
How about working for free? If you get the kings favor, then you can take possession of the princess.
I didnt answer. I wasnt interested in the princess of this world. If only I were given the right to spank the holy ass of the Holy Empire princess as much as I want, like in y 9, then I could still think of providing a free service once or twice. Anyway
One thing I understood for sure was that Luke knew very well how to graduate. Thanks to the knowledge and experience of graduates, there was already enough information on the world of Fantasy on Earth. Here, as in aputer game, the same situation was repeated, so the magazine Strategy was even sold on Earth, where the experience of different Heroes was described, including personal data ofpanions and how to gain their trust.
Luke could follow a ready-made guide. So I asked, How do you deal with the Sword King Alex?
Hearing my question, Luke smiled and calmly replied, as if he were a teacher who had a list of answers to all assignments.
Chapter 133 - Like this in this case!
Chapter 133 - Like this in this case!
Just praise him.
Praise?
Hearing Lukes answer, I frowned. Praise Alex? I couldnt imagine that.
Tsk. I dont know if you know, but Alex isnt from a family of aristocrats. But with the help of his outstanding skills, he was able to rise to the captain of the Pce Knights. And in the royal pce, many despise him because of his low birth.
Therefore, no one praised Alex. If he had done something, they just tell him that it was natural for the captain of the knights. If one were to think about it, Alex cared about the Hero Sieg. He even once gave his life for him. Thinking about it, I frowned again.
So he is susceptible to ttery?
Wellyou could say so. But this also cannot be done carelessly. He eptspliments about his physique or that he is strong and courageous, but if you tell him that he is handsome or smart, on the contrary, he gets annoyed.
Hmm
You dont seem to believe me. Follow me.
And after a few hours, Luke won over Alexs mind. He achieved it perfectly. He told Alex exactly what he wanted to hear and supported his dream of a world in whichmoners would be recognized. Five dayster, the nned orientation turned into a party. Alex and Luke were drinking that day, and their rtionship progressed to the point where they hugged each other by the shoulders.
I watched all this from the side. His skills couldnt be denied.
This is how the walkthrough looks like
This was no different from a game.
?Laughter: Praise, flowing like a sweet song, lifts the mood and captivates the heart, Kang Han Soo. Do you like your partner? I admit that thest partner I rmended didnt suit you. I understand how you felt at that time, sorry.
Are you talking about Sieg? Anyway, Professor Moral, whats your business with me?
?Exnation: Youre probably aware that this time you are recertifying due to the discovery of an illegal skill. I have been instructed from above to see if you are using illegal skills or not. But Im very busy, so Ill give it to one of the younger ones. Have questions?
No.
?Laughter: Then first exnations. The re-admission system was designed to help graduatesplete all assigned tasks with integrity butck strength and your partner is one of those graduates who once showed incredible results. You can trust and follow him.
It was a very interesting story. I dont want to depend on others, but I was already mentally tired after spending twenty-five years in the fantasy world. Im ready to ept help even from mucus. And it was at such a time that Luke appeared. Looking at how he coped with Alex, you could understand that, unlike me, who was engaged in self-education, Luke knew the best option for how to get out of here faster.
If I left everything to him and just followed, I could graduate! Theres no reason to refuse.
?Satisfaction: Im very d you understood. The entire teaching staff sincerely wishes you graduation as soon as possible as your fighting power is better than any other student. I look forward to seeing your post-release actions. Good luck.
With that done, Professor Moral left.
Does he hold me for an idiot? And he dares to say this after advising me on how to tter a person.
It only spoiled the whole mood.
? Greetings: Kang Han Soo! Have you spoken to the elder? Hello again! I will keep an eye on you due to the busyness of my senior colleague.
Oh, Miss Trainee, you seem to be in a good mood?
? Smile: So was it noticeable? I still had some practice as an intern, but I passed the second test! Do you know how surprised I was when I received the notification? Judging by the words of a friend who works there, this is thanks to the rmendation of a senior colleague. This is all thanks to you, Kang Han Soo. Thank you!
So I have to call you Miss Teacher now?
? Shy: This is still a long way off. There are five tests, but I went through the most difficult stage, so now I am calm. By the wayKang Han Soo, what do you think to do?
Me? I thought about following Luke because this self-proimed brother said that he would show me the ideal method of passing through the world of Fantasy. But I missed something important, and so did Luke. In these sold guides, everything was described with the condition that there was only one Hero.
*
In y 3, Alex had done a simr thing. He was in charge of training Heroes. Since he wasnt a Hero, he couldnt see our statuses, and to test our abilities, he demanded a friendly duel between Sieg and me at that time as it was now.
Haha! Heroes. Nice to see you at the training ground of the royal pce. I heard at thest party that both of you are capable. And all the knights who saw you without clothes after the call praised your bodies. But you cannot save the world just by doing this!
Two days after the party, Alex called us to the training ground.
Alex. I dont need training, Luke informed him right off the bat.
He kept the information from the guide in his head, but rtionships between people werent so simple. Sometimes you needed to adapt to the circumstances, and the current situation was different from what was written in the guide.
The re-enrolled Luke wasnt level 1. Heroes who werent good atplimenting me would get a personal lesson from Alex, but even if you followed the guide, you would still end up on the training ground. Only time would change slightly. It was clearly stated in the guide that the training would ur in any case. You needed to hold out in the battle with Alex for 10 seconds. If you couldnt do that, you needed to train here for one year.
You wouldnt be allowed to leave the training ground a second before. During the first ythrough, I was the first case.
Luke. I heard your story; you came from the future. Depending on how much you know about me, its true. But we dont know the future, so we just want to be sure. Show me the capabilities of two Heroes, Alex said politely.
Need to hold out for another 10 seconds?
Ha! As expected, Luke. You know that too. But this time, His Majesty suggested something different. Its a secret, so dont talk about it anywhere.
A secret?
Judging by the look on Lukes face, it wasnt in the guide.
His Majesty isnt eager to give the throne to one of the princes, but he still needs an heir. Therefore, he has high hopes for the child who will be born to the princess and the legendary Hero.
Then that means
It would be nice to give a chance to the Hero, who will take over the heart of the princess, but the situation in the kingdom isnt so simple. We will offer a chance to the strongest of the two Heroes.
Such a decision could only be made in a wild fantasy world; after all, a strong male must have a female.
Then there is no need to fight. Because I am stronger than Kang Han Soo, Luke remarked confidently.
It was a little annoying, but I could understand why he was saying that. After all, his confidence didnte out of thin air; he said so because he saw my skills.
Meanwhile, I was a civilized person; I would never even think about fighting for a girl who wasnt interesting to me. Alex shrugged.
Forgive me, but the people above want results, not empty words. This is a friendly match, so fight in the designated area. That magician over there will capture everything with the help of a magic crystal and then send the recording of the battle as evidence upstairs.
In the end, it was decided that a duel would be held between the two. Luke and I stood opposite each other on the training ground. What did my status look like with the sealed ck Box?
? Race: Natural Human
? Level: 906
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: (S), Interpretation (A), Spirit (E)
? Condition: Good
The level gradually rose, and the spirits living in the royal garden slowly stuck to my body, thanks to which the Spirit skill had increased to E-rank. What about Luke?
? Race: Unique Human
? Level: 869
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Artillery S, uracy A, Interpretation A, Pration A, Sword Mastery B
? Condition: Magic Sword
Seven days had passed since the call, but it didnt have any notable changes. However, no matter how you looked at it, Luke was in a better position. He seemed to think so himself.
Haha! Brother, since its this way, lets give it our best.
Best?
Yes. They said they were filming us? If we fight at half strength, they will immediately notice. Lets just get along without offense if someone loses. Hah! If there are two Heroes, shouldnt there have been two princesses? If I had the opportunity, I would file a protest!
?Consent: Using Lukes protest, I will report to a senior colleague! I also think it is wrong when two Heroes have to fight!
Miss Trainee, dont. Although its good that youre so enthusiastic after the second test!
The Dumpling King wanted to get a grandson in which his blood and the blood of a Hero will flow. But if there were two princesses, there would be two grandchildren, which would only sow new seeds for discord.
No offense. I promise.
I didnt want to participate in this, but my biological age was now ten years old. Small mistakes could be solved with the help of my cutie.
Level 906 Level 905
For starters, I used one level and another thing. In the 9th ythrough, I received new teaching from Master Mon, so the adrenaline rushed through me now like a volcano.
And thus, I jumped up to Luke.
Huh?!
He got scared of my speed without a skill. However, with Dodge (C), he automatically dodged and counterattacked. He hit my shoulder with a wooden sword. In this, he was helped by the Sword Skill (B). Right now, I had no skill support.
But would twenty-five years of experience in the fantasy world just go away? I was beaten down by King Dragon Noebius, but its because his age was too old. If were a simr age, its easy.
Thud!
Crack!
But I decided to trade blows. This is my favorite fighting style, and I also wasnt sure if I could dodge because of his uracy skill.
Kuaa?!
I stabbed Luke in the stomach with the wooden sword. However, because of the Slime Armor he was wearing; he wasnt badly hurt. The sword also broke. However, after being struck by a blunt de of a wooden sword, blood was flowing from my shoulder. My wound was bigger, but because of Lukes scream, it seemed that his wound was worse.
Oh my
I think I saved my experience point too much. I couldnt fight at full strength because that would be only if I turned all the experience points of my 900 levels into strength. Then not only Luke but the entire royal pce would be demolished.
I needed to control myself.
Kang Han Soo! You attack without dodging! I cant just leave it like that!
Luke summoned his Magic Sword. It was naturally different from a wooden sword with a dull de. Without protection, even a Hero with my experience wouldnt be able to survive. So
Level 905 Level 895
I would be a little more serious too. The broken wooden sword fell to the ground, and my right hand filled with green energy.
Even the spirits shared their power with me. Earth, fire, wind, water, ether. The five energiesbined and became incredible power.
Hey Luke. My friendship will be a little painful.
Chapter 134 - You thief!
Chapter 134 - You thief!
The skills were incredibly useful. With just one blow of the sword, I could split the sea in half and kill an army a million-strong. This couldnt be achieved only with the help of effort and willpower; the skills of the fantasy world had created such a miracle.
However, this was only possible when the skills had a high rank. I didnt know how itpared to those on Earth, but his skills were the same as those of others for me. If the first ythrough of mypanions could be attributed to the B-rank, then Luke was at the C-rank maximum. Some skills were effective at a low rank, but I roughly knew how to handle them.
This was abat strategy avable only to Heroes who could view each others skills. Therefore, looking at Lukes skills, I could think about fighting him and what attacks to fear. But Luke? He couldnt know anything. He wasnt a fool, so he immediately realized that there was some kind of special effect from my race, but I didnt have any skills, so it was difficult to get information.
Something simr to the Overpower skill? Luke muttered to himself.
He didnt be a graduate for nothing. Luke realized that I gained strength by sacrificing levels. Although he didnt realize that this was different from the Overpower skill, he already proved that he was significantly different from Sieg. However
Weak.
It was too obvious as to how he relied on skills as I knocked the Magic Sword out of Lukes hands. Green energy, consisting of a dense concentration of experience points, blocked the sharp de without any problem.
What the?!
Luke felt confused. He thought that I would dodge the blow because he was holding not a wooden sword but a Magic one. If you were to think logically, it was unpredictable. How often did it go exactly as you nned? It was interesting just when there were some changes. And at such a moment, there was no need to rush.
Level 895 Level 893
After spending a few more experience points, I concentrated on my legs and sent a kick flying!
Aaak?!
Luke, hit right in the shin, screamed. The Slime Armor absorbed most of the damage, but even so, the blow was severe. Lukes face contorted as he was knocked off bnce. It was a strikingly different expression from how it was when I saw him for the first time.
I like it. This is for you!
Crack-!
With my left hand, I smacked him right in the face. I would have been taken to the police station for this on Earth, but it was allowed in this wild fantasy world. Even murder wasnt punishable here, so what about a p in the face?
This time it was serious. Again, I had hit an unprotected ce. Luke didnt fall from just one blow, but his gaze dimmed. He still stood on two legs not because of willpower but because of the effect of his skills.
How long would hest? In this state, he would be able to dodge any light blows purely automatically. However, my blows werent light.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
I transferred half of the strength I had in my right hand to my left hand and then began to hit Lukes body with both. I didnt give him a chance to counterattack. Lukes body flew into the air, and I didnt stop hitting to keep it from falling. However, when mybo reached 100 hits, I shouted:
I give up!
And then I dropped to the muddy ground of the training ground. I hit him more, but I looked worse. Since receiving the wound on the shoulder at the beginning of the battle, blood had been gushing in different directions.
KhI see. Is it a side effect? said Luke, recovering from the blows.
He looked quite healthy. His handsome face suffered a bit, but thanks to Slime Armor, he could withstand all my blows. His wounds were primarily on the inside.
In any case, I give up. I dont want my level to get even lower.
I didnt deny his guesses and evasively moved on to another topic. The Overpower skill absorbed your level in exchange for power in battle, but when the effect of the skill ended, you would immediately be weak and sluggish. These were the consequences. The effect of my race, Natural Human, was somewhat simr to this skill. Although such consequences didnte, it had be a good excuse to end this pointless fight.
I wanted to end on a good note, not after being trampled into the ground.
As I thought, brother! I immediately realized that you are unusually strong without skills! But this power has a great price, so that everything fell into ce, Luke agreed with a puffy face.
Continuing the fight would be problematic, so it was good that he was pleased with victory in the fight in which he was beaten.
The fight is over! Luke won! Alex delivered the verdict.
Haha! Thank you. There was minimal difference between us. If I didntst until the end, I think Kang Han Soo would have won. Because of this, I think this victory is even more valuable.
Then he approached me, who was still lying on the muddy ground.
It was a good fight.
It was.
Thanks to this, I relieved the stress umted from the failure with the 9th ythrough.
Kang Han Soo, take my hand ~ Khaaa?!
Leaning towards me with a smile on his swollen face and reaching out to me, Luke suddenly grabbed his back and fell facedown.
p!
It seemed that he had an intervertebral hernia. Now I, standing up and shaking off the dirt from my clothes, held out my hand to Luke with a fair smile.
Luke. Take my hand.
W-Wait! Dont touch me; it hurts ~ Khaa?!
Thus ended the friendly duel between the two Heroes.
*
A nned episode of the story called Alexs Training was skipped because we were stronger than Alex. However, we didnt set out on our journey right away. I would have liked to leave as soon as possible, but Luke said we must take the future Sword King, Alex, as apanion.
Because of this, we stayed in the pce until Alex handed over his responsibilities to someone else.
Luke, is that all?
Of course!
After a friendly duel, Luke began a rtionship with the princess. Because of his aching back, he couldnt make much progress, but thanks to the Rapid Reputation Increases effect of the Unique Human race, he didnt experience any problems. I wasnt wasting my time, either.
Level 893 Level 1215
Working hard, I gained experience points. Strong or weak, I didnt discriminate and epted all of them.
Tsk! Looking at you, brother, I feel ashamed, Luke clicked his tongue as he saw my growth.
However, he didnt see my exact level, so he just said that. After all, the level was shown only up to 999.
Whos next?
After seeing how Luke made an innocent sheep out of Alex, I began to trust his guide more. Intuition told me that if I continued the journey as he said, then I could graduate. That was why I had lost to Luke. If rtions between us deteriorated, there would be nothing left but to extract information from him by torture.
And that would be way too tiresome.
Luke replied, After Sword King Alex, we can choose ourselves. It is possible to get the future Elven Queen Sylvia at the ck market, although this is a bit early. And we also have a choice between the Saint from the central continent, the mermaid Aqua and the imperial princess of the Holy Empire.
Malepanions could also be found in the central continent, but I didnt ask why he didnt mention them.
So where do we go first?
To Sylvia.
Mm?
Did he say that he would get herter in the auction?
Hehe. I will share with you some special information obtained from the guide. Sylvia is known for being difficult to get as apanion since she hates people. But if you use this method, you can easily get Sylvia.
Interesting.
Was there a secret n to easily acquire this evil and human-hating elf as apanion? I cant imagine that.
Follow me; Ill show you.
This time around, Luke donned casual clothes instead of his Slime Armor.
Heroes! Where are you going? Lanuvel cane with you? Lanuvel intervened, eternally curled among us like a snake.
I was going to tell her not to pretend to be cute in front of us, but endured. I didnt want to repeat the tragedy of the ninth passage.
Haha! Sweet Miss Lanuvel, of course, you cane with us. Its just a walk.
Luke still allowed her toe with us. Then
Ahem! Luke, why did you go for a walk without me?
Lanuvels voice was too loud? Alex, now busy trying to find a worthy candidate for his post, stopped and showed a desire to join us. Right from the first ythrough, this often happened. The hero can choosepanions, but for some reason, the same ones appeared every time. Their skills were higher than normal people, but the fact that they were ambitious worked out better.
They were too ambitious, just like a certain imperial princess.
With this, Luke and I took the dummies with us and set off north of the capital of the Dumpling Kingdom.
Why here?
Hearing my question, Luke calmly replied.
ording to the guide, Sylvia shoulde here today. A level 1 hero, of course, cannot cope alone, so if you convince Alex and bring the knights, you can help her escape. But we are so strong, so we dont need the help of others.
Ho
I didnt even think about that. Alex and Lanuvel, hearing our conversation, were surprised, but didnt attach any importance to it, because Luke said on the very first day that he was from the future. But the guide also had a limit. The author roughly indicated where to meet Sylvia, but no exact information about the time and ce.
And so, we just stood in the middle of a wheat field.
Spirit E Spirit D
Was it because we left town? The spirits ying in the field were attracted to me like a ma.
Im too poprhmm? They came?
I muttered to myself and heard the spirits report, shamelessly soliciting the Hero, that our game appeared.
Hold them!
Dont miss it!
Over there!
The men in dark hoods were chasing two elves, but the elves didnt run very quickly. Handcuffs and shackles hampered them. I knew immediately who it was.
Sylvia and Archer E.
I didnt even need to interfere because Luke and the dummies rushed forward and dealt with those suspicious guys. They had no intention to acquire the two elves peacefully. When I saw what happened, I could only say one thing.
My GodHeaven will punish you.
The beautiful golden field was instantly destroyed. Were these elves so valuable that it was necessary to spoil the work of the farmers who were trying to feed themselves by the sweat of their brows? Anyway
Two elves in provocative outfits, covering only the important parts of their body, were saved. Judging by their appearance, they hadnt washed for a long time. It seemed that if you got too close to them, you would grow sick from some kind of infection.
Luke exined to me, Next to Sylvia is her archery teacher. They say she raised her instead of the Queen of Elfheim, who only cares about her first son, Prince Nasus. Soon, her teacher must die while escaping. After that, Sylvia will hate people even more. But if we save her, we can get close to Sylvia.
Aha
I felt all the greatness of the guide.
Spirit D Spirit S
During this time, my Spirit skill was rapidly increasing. There was a lot of natural energy on this earth.
Elves, if something hurts, tell Lanuvel!
Woong-
Woong-
Lanuvel, who had just murdered people in cold blood, became cute again. She healed the minor wounds of two elves with magic, and then Sylvia came up to me.
You thief! Give my spirits back!
Apparently, making friends wouldnt work.
Chapter 135 - Will anything do?
Chapter 135 - Will anything do?
Princess Sylvia. This is not how our saviors should be treated.
T-Teacher
Sylvia evidently felt upset because of Archer Es reproach. Her Skill Rank had dropped from S to D, which proved to be a major problem for her. However
Excuse me. The princess suffered at the ck market, so she is mentally exhausted. She had to watch her fellow tribesmen being sold as ingredients for magic items. I ask you to forgive her.
Archer E, as the older and more experienced, made an attempt to justify Sylvias behavior. Sylvia closed her lips at once. She knew that if she said something again, she would show herself as a narrow-minded elf. Would she demand her savior to give the skill back too? But Archer E sorted it out. From a shameless and narrow-minded elf, she turned into a victim whose nerves were frayed due to the loss of her fellow tribesmen.
Everything is fine! Lanuvel understands everything! Right, Sir Hero?
Yes Sweet Lanuvel, Luke replied. After this, he came up to me and asked so that only I could hear.
What did you do?
What?
Sylvia lost her connection with the Spirits. We must unite with Princess Sylvia, and if she cannot skillfully control the Spirits
Lukes face darkened as he turned his gaze to Sylvia. He wasnt looking at her body, but at her skills.
? Race: Arch-Elf
? Level: 312
? Specialization: Shaman (Blessing Spirit )
? Skills: Charm A, Nobility B, Archery B, Blessing C, Spirit D
? Condition: Despondency, Seal, Weakness
Her specialization hadnt changed yet, but she wouldnt be a shaman but an archer if this continued. Or, due to the influence of Charisma and Nobility, her Princess status could be her specialization. In any case, as apanion, it would be of little use.
Do you need someone who can control spirits? Here I am.
? Race: Natural Human
? Level: 1216
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Spirit (S), (S), Interpretation (A), Stealth Killing (C), Hand-to-Hand Combat (E), Assassination (E), Hunting (E), Theft (E), Mining ( F), Farming (F), Cooking (F), cksmithing (F), Gathering (F), Luck (F), Fishing (F), Swimming (F), Livestock (F), Sharing (F)
? Condition: Good
Thanks to some friends who shared their experience points, I managed to improve several skills, and I also gained F-rank auxiliary and production skills. When spirits sexually harassed my body, these skills grew naturally.
Luke was speechless. But then, returning his peace of mind, he continued.
It is very important to make friends with the future Queen of the Elves.
But there is also Prince Nasus?
In a few years, he would stage a coup dtat to take the throne of Elfheim. If you wanted to make friends with the future ruler of the elves, you didnt have to focus only on Princess Sylvia.
Wellwomen Heroes follow that path.
There seemed to be no strict rule that Sylvia should be the ruler of the elves. Instead, it all depended on the preferences of the Heroes.
So who will you choose, Luke?
Folding my arms over my chest, I pressed him. Whatever decision he made, I thought to follow him if it would lead to graduation.
There is no way to return the spirits?
No.
You cant make someone love.
Well, if my body bes oversaturated with spirits, then the spirits disced back will return to Sylvia. Probably.
However, such a day wouldnte soon. Not until at least five powerful spirits with crowns, like in the ninth ythrough, arrived, take their ce in my armpits and between my legs. This wasnt an assumption, but simply intuition.
Is that so? So this is a temporary phenomenon? Heck! As expected of your race!
Luke nodded and exhaled calmly. Judging by his ns, he wanted to recruit only women aspanions, but he also considered practical skills to be important. He had chosen Sylvia to y the future Queen of the Elves, but she would be nothing more than an extra burden if she didnt have any strong skills. At this time, Archer E, who talked to Lanuvel, took the initiative into her own hands.
I heard that you are both legendary Heroes. I know its shameless for me to ask this, but please help us. In the future, you will receive a reward for this. But, princess Sylvia, dont just stand there either. Is that how I taught you?
PleaseHeroes.
Both elves bowed their heads. Luke simply smiled.
Dont worry. We will protect Princess Sylvia until she regains her strength, and we will also rid you of the demonic curse.
With this, the number of dummies at our party increased.
*
Our next target was Saint A, who lived in the Holy Kingdom, as the demonic curse of Archer E could only be removed by a Holy or High Priestess. But unfortunately, there was neither the first nor the second in the Dumpling Kingdom. Therefore, there was nothing left but to go to the Holy Kingdom.
Luke smiled as he exined. Everything is going ording to my n.
Or, more precisely, ording to the guide. But I decided not to focus on this. Instead, future Sword King Alex, who wished to get out of the stuffy pce and transferred all his powers, joined us.
There were enough problems in the Dumpling Kingdom. Apart from the struggle of the heirs for the throne, the followers of the demons were ready to sell their soul and body to get at least a little Dark Energy. And even the kings beloved wife was a follower of demons.
Luke. What is there to be done with the problems in the kingdom?
But now its peaceful there, Luke answered calmly.
I see
This was the first state that the Hero approached after being summoned, so everything about it must be described in detail. They also couldnt help but mention it in the guide. However, Luke pretended not to know anything. This meant that it wouldnt be toote to solve the problem after it had already grown.
Its hard to decide right now. It is difficult to prove that the queen is a follower of demons, and if this is revealed, the king and princess will be sent into exile. The king will be branded a worthless ruler, and the state will fall apart at the seams.
Well
I didnt argue with him but just nodded along. In the 2nd ythrough, I arranged something simr, but it didnte to the copse of the state.
?Exnation: Isnt it because you dealt with aristocrats who could do this? I wasnt with you then, so I dont know what happened there, but the report says that the Hero sentenced the royal family and the aristocrats to death, and everyone was so afraid of the Hero that they couldnt say anything.
Miss Trainee, there is an error in the report. At that time, my poprity was peaking.
Brother, just trust and follow me. If you like someone, you can start a rtionship with her, just enjoy life in this fantasy world. I have been watching you for several days, and it seems that youck freedom.
Hmm. I will take note.
Wasnt that too rxed? It was difficult to support Lukes decision not to use the Space Transference Magic Circle and walk to the Holy Kingdom, but I didnt ask too many questions. I didnt want the course of events indicated in the guide to be disrupted because of me. I would endure anything if it would lead to release.
? Surprise: I feel your determination, Kang Han Soo.
Miss Trainee. I said that if I take up something, I will do it.
Ogre!
Someone help!
Guard the carriage! Oh! There are two of them?!
Not even an hour had passed since we left the kingdom when the incident urred. Luke and the dummies rushed towards the noise at the speed of light and easily dealt with the two ogres.
Boom! Boom!
The massive ogres copsed to the ground, leaving a middle-aged man bowing deeply.
Thank you for saving us! When two ogres appeared in front of us, everything went dark before my eyes.
My name is Luke. Although I still havent been able to get the Holy Sword, I am a Hero. And this is my younger brother and also Hero, Kang Han Soo.
H-Hero?
They were some important people heading from the Dumpling Kingdom to the Holy Kingdom.
Thank you again. Hero Luke. And Hero KhanKansorry, its hard to remember right away.
No problem.
I just shrugged. However, it bothered me that he instantly remembered Lukes name the first time he heard it, and he couldnt pronounce my name. And this concerned not only the representative of their group. The rest of the mercenaries guarding the carriage, too, couldnt remember my name and simply called me a Hero.
I think this would affect my reputation and fame in the future.
?Question: Do you want to take a pseudonym?
We need to think it over well, Miss Trainee!
On Earth, many singers and actors, and writers who were promoted under a pseudonym became more famous. But Hero isnt some kind of cultural figure. Is he closer to being a Great Man? And I do not know any great people who dered themselves under a pseudonym unless people gave them some nickname for their achievements.
Hero Luke. If it doesnt bother you, could you escort us? We will provide you with the best amodations and food.
Sure.
Luke agreed, with the result that we escorted the VIPs to the Holy Kingdom. There were small events on the trip
And my experience in the fantasy world was now twenty-six years old!
Now I understand why parents grumble every birthday
Birthdays werent something to celebrate. This simply meant that the time for ying tennis was gradually decreasing. Therefore, three times a year (for fathers birthday, mothers birthday, and wedding anniversary), they always went to y tennis until they were exhausted, as long as their age allowed.
I began to worry about how much more I needed to rot in this fantasy world. Fortunately, I thought that this time I would be able to graduate. I liked it, except that the journey was too slow.
nk!
As our long journey came to an end, a VIP handed us a bag of silver coins the size of a newborn babys hand.
Thanks to your escort, we were able to safely reach the Holy Kingdom. Thank you very much.
Of course, you should be grateful. They made the legendary Heroes work for silver coins, not even gold. In addition to this, the amodation and food they provided were just awful. We slept on solid ground, and the food was no different from livestock feed. If this happened in my 1st ythrough, I would have suffered from insomnia and developed anorexia.
But now? For a Hero with twenty-six years of experience, this was nothing. Meanwhile
Well, what are you, hahaha having received the money, Luke replied with a deplorable expression.
He had a high level, so there should be more stability, but his condition was even worse than mine in the first ythrough. So I asked carefully.
Luke, are you okay?
If he was okay, then I could get out of this wild world, so I couldnt help but worry about him.
No. It sucks.
Was it like that before?
No. After all, I was younger then.
After defeating the Demon Lord Pedonar, a bright future awaited Lukesnd. Based on the skills of the fantasy world, he built a sessful business, and due to the alien invasion, his value rose even higher, due to which he gained wealth and fame. So naturally, his life was serene.
This was the problem. He used to eat corn soup with dried beef, but after enjoying wealth and fame, he couldnt eat that now. Not to mention sleeping on hard ground with a mattress in the form of fallen leaves.
I see. It sucks
After listening to Luke, I began to feel guilty. However, although it was ufortable for me, it was tolerable. The spirits warmed my sleeping ce, and they also shared the fruit. These were only minor improvements, though. If you were a civilized inhabitant of the Earth, then Lukes reaction was quite normal.
? Constion: Kang Han Soo, cheer up.
Thank you, Miss Trainee. Ill give you one nightter.
? Confusion: No, dont!
After parting with the dignitaries in the capital of the Holy Kingdom, we headed towards the grand temple next to the shabby royal pce. The difference between these two buildings only proved that it wasnt the royal power stronger here, but the lesiastical one.
This was the whole essence of the Holy Kingdom.
Stop!
Only believers who have received permission cane here.
The monks standing at the entrance blocked our way. But it cannot be that the Hero chosen by God couldnt enter the temple. And this time, Luke spoke.
I have permission.
Then show it to us.
God permitted us. My name is Luke, and I am a hero. This is my group ofpanions.
The Summoned Hero
The frightened monk ran inside. And after a while, Saint A appeared. She knew right away that Luke and I were Heroes.
You are Heroes, as the prophecy says.
If there were two summoned Heroes, the contents of the prophecy seemed to change. Luke spoke confidently. Saint, your mission is to help the Hero defeat the Demon Lord. Finally, the day hase. Please help us.
This was different from how he coaxed Alex. She was a Saint, and that was enough reason to join us. It wasnt altogether wrong. The saint was a high healer who could revive the dead. The saint existed to help the Hero. Her skill Resurrection existed to prevent the bulk of the Heros party from dying, which would make it difficult to continue the journey.
The saint, with a cautious smile, answered. First, bring the Holy Sword. I will serve whoever passes the Holy Sword test.
Holy Sword first?
Not expecting such a turn of events, Luke didnt know what to say. In the third ythrough, when Sieg appeared, it was the same as if there were two Heroes.
Holy Sword
Hearing Saint As demand, I rubbed my chin. So any Holy Sword would do?
Chapter 136 - Hero’s New Weapon
Chapter 136 - Heros New Weapon
The God of the fantasy world considered the ck Box prohibited. Therefore, I couldnt summon the Holy Sword Nuclyon or Saint H. However, there was something else I could focus on.
Saint H wasnt a part of this world as she directed the Heroes to the Festival of Heroes. The same was true for the Holy Sword Nuclyon.
The Holy Sword found on the continents of Fantasy was just a stickpared to this sword, which was designed for chopping Pedonar to pieces.
In other words, it couldnt be prohibited, and right now, I needed the Holy Sword. I didnt use the ck Box. Instead, I used a different, hidden, and slightly childish way.
The Last Sword, destroyed by Chaos and born on the Oblivion Star. A hope that will cut the bonds of meaningless friendship and love. The sessor remembers your sacred name and praises you, proving that the legendary alliance was made from the very beginning! Holy Sword Nuclyon!
If after this, nothing happened, then I would simplymit suicide. Luckily my spell worked.
Poof!
The Holy Sword Nuclyon appeared in my hands.
What the?!
While I was reciting a spell, Luke looked at me like I was crazy, but now his mouth opened in surprise. But he, as a Hero, immediately realized that it was the Holy Sword.
H-How is that possible!
Saint A was no exception. It took her one nce to understand that the Hero was in front of her, so she immediately realized that it was the Holy Sword. The others reacted too.
Wow
Incredible
Legendary Holy Sword
The thief is a Hero
Exmations from the dummies followed. Even if you didnt have the Hero or Saint specialization, you could immediately tell from the masterly handcrafted work and design that it was a saintly Sword. I didnt invent this spell. As soon as I took the Holy Sword Nuclyon in my hands for the first time, it was imprinted in my head exactly in this form.
Could I summon Saint H in the same way? It still needed research, but I thought it was possible to summon Saint H. Anyway
Saint, are you ready to move your butt from your usual ce?
I had just joined Lukes journey now, so I needed to be content with Saint A. Saint A, who regained consciousness, immediately knelt in front of me and spoke in a polite tone.
Now, I will serve you, Hero.
With this, we hadpleted all the affairs in the Holy Kingdom. Holy Sword 1 and Holy Sword 3 were in the northern continent. Holy Sword 2, which I dly used, rested underwater east of the central continent. In general, it took a long time to get to them. Wasnt that the best option?
No! Saint!
At that moment, the extra guy intervened, following and guarding Saint A like a shadow. Who are you that you dare argue with the greatest Hero?
The most powerful hero of the Holy Kingdom, Thomas. Nicknamed Tomato, as if answering my question, Luke chimed in.
It was clear on his face that he wanted to ask a lot about my sword, but it seemed that he decided to deal with the extra first.
A! Hero T!
With great difficulty in the bins of my memory, I nevertheless found information about this extra. The name was Hero T, male, age unknown.
? Race: Human
? Level: 747
? Specialization: Pdin (Divinity = Blessing )
? Skills: Divinity (B), Blessing (B), Sword Mastery (B), Fortitude (C), Enemy Search (C)
? Condition: Anxiety
Hero T was considered a hero in the Holy Kingdom. Still, due to his low origin, his specialization was only Pdin, the second mostmon in this kingdom after the monk. Still, I wanted to praise him for raising his Divinity skill, which was owned mainly by Angels and high-ranking priests, to B-rank. With his level, he could single-handedly cope with a mid-level demon.
Knight Thomas, you have done a good job keeping me safe.
N-no, Saint! I do not deny that these are Heroes. But I, as the knight guarding you, cannot trust the safety of the precious Saint without testing their skills.
Hes quite a difficult man
Excuse me, but its not just my thought.
As if confirming Hero Ts words, the nearby knights nodded in agreement. The Holy Kingdom needs you.
Saint, please dont leave us.
You promised you would go shopping with me tomorrow.
I want to continue to protect the Saint.
On all the continents of Fantasy, some savages interfered with the journey of the good Hero. Hotel owners who looked at the Heroes like a bag of money; cksmiths asking them to bring everything needed to make weapons; healers who tried to shift their work to heroes; merchants who didnt give discounts
As well as ordinary residents who prevent you from recruiting the rightpanion. While I was thinking about dealing with them legally, the God of the fantasy world fulfilled my desire.
Hero T spoke. The hero and his group ofpanions. The Knight of the Holy Kingdom Thomas will personally check if you are capable of protecting the Saint.
I liked this turn of events.
*
I didnt expect that the Saint would ask to bring the Holy Sword, but the battle with the knight Thomas was to take ce. If we came after we became a little known, this situation could have been avoided, but there is no need to worry too much about it, Luke spoke confidently at the temple training ground.
The fight took ce one on one.
Kong!
Aak?!
Lanuvel, who was hit on the head, grabbed her wound and pretended to be cute again. Even from a distance, one could see her furrowed brow.
Hero T smiled.
Sweet Lanuvel. It is good to use practical short magic spells, but such weak magic doesnt work on people like me with high toughness. While it is risky, try to buy time for more powerful and longer spells.
Good! Thank you!
I was d to fight with such a sweet girl.
The pdin never realized that the annoying Lanuvel was just pretending to be cute! Somehow I worried about the future of the Holy Kingdom. Alex came next.
Kuh
Incredible talent, Captain of the knights of the neighboring kingdom. Even though you havent learned the sword technique systematically, you have impressive skills! If you had a high level, you would be a good opponent. But as the winner, I will give you one piece of advice: level up by hunting monsters. If you want to protect your loved ones and your homnd, then you need to start with yourself and be stronger.
Ill take note.
God bless your way.
Alex lost. He used an aggressive method of fighting, ignoring his defenses, but still failed to break through the solid defenses enhanced by Divinity and Blessing. Therefore, by exchanging blows, Alex only harmed himself. As Hero T pointed out, the problem was his low level.
Next?
Kyak?!
Having received an iron gauntlet from the pdin, Sylvia screamed and sprawled on the ground. Hero T, who thought she would dodge, was confused.
Resident of Elfheim! Why did you just summon the spirits and stand aside? Only high-ranking shamans show such arrogance. Such a terrible tactic can be relied on only if there are a huge number of spirits. Even so, the shaman needs to fight alongside the spirits. Get more experience in fighting. It is extremely rude of me to say so, but with your current skills, you will not only be unable to protect the Saint but you will be captured.
Ughif only I could return the spirits!
Stop relying on spirits all the time. Next!
Archer E stepped forward, bow in hand. Saint A, by that time, had alreadypletely healed her demonic curse. Alex was reprimanded for being low-level, but Hero T was lower than Archer E. And what was the result?
Ah
Archer E was dumbfounded after the pdin cut her bow in half with his sharp sword. The loss of a bow equaled death for an archer.
You have incredible skills. This is the first time I see someone who is so masterful with a bow and arrow. Im surprised. No wonder you are the Knight of the Wind, which the Kingdom of Elfheim is so proud of. But you couldnt resist. I, as a knight guarding the Saint, have always been wary of archers. In addition, the bow and arrows that you are currently using do not reach your level, which, I think, was the reason for your defeat.
Thanks for the good fight.
Dont mention it. It was an honor for me to fight the famous Wind Knight of Elfheim.
May the patronage of Elfheim be with you.
God bless you.
Yes, they could get married even now. Next, was me?
Its not your turn, brother. I will knock this Thomas down, Luke stepped up as if reading my mind.
Since he was the leader of our group, he should be thest, but it seems that he foresaw that I would deal with Hero T, so he decided toe out first. Do all Heroes have simr thoughts?
Well, except for Sieg.
How bold you are, Hero. After all, not even a month has passed since your call.
Im Luke.
Good, Hero Luke. Make no mistake that youve seen all my skill in the previous battles. I will beat all the arrogance out of you.
These are my words.
Was it because he thought Luke was the one who decided to steal the Saint from him? The words of Hero T, which had been polite before, became rougher. If not this, apparently, he was hurt by Lukes words that he would knock him down. In any case, they were going to fight in all seriousness.
Before the fight, Luke turned to me.
Kang Han Soo. Watch my fight closely. I dont know how you got this suspicious Holy Sword in your hands, but I have a more serious weapon! My real power has been sealed. Friend! There is a strong opponent who can fight you. I am breaking the seal, so fight with me again! Boris!
Wait! Boris? That was the real name of the Old Prince. After all, his soul was destroyed. So why was he saying his name now? But if this was true, I needed to be careful. This was because now I couldnt use the ck Box.
And Boris was summoned. I looked at him with a slightly stupid expression on my face and asked Luke.
Golem?
No, Boris is an android. This is also one of the new weapons developed at the Victoria factory. The strongest android that the President of Victoria has is a prototype for future mass production! The only drawback is that the technology of the contract isnt fully worked out, so it has to be sealed in the Vault.
If he was talking about a prototype, it was most likely based on the maid golem, which I obtained by trading for Golem D. As I recall, it was a pretty good deal. Summoned by Luke, Boris was so masterfully made that one could believe that he wasnt a real person. But, like a weapon, he had a nk expression on his face.
And what about skills?
? Race: Arch-Golem
? Level: 900
? Specialization: Witch (Beauty Magic )
? Skills: Magic (A), Shooting (B), Charisma (B), Sorcery (B), Resurrection (C)
? Status: Activate
The specialty was Witch, like the well-known phrase in the Fantasy world, When you touch a witch, be careful, but instead of a staff, there were two pistols. And that wasnt all.
You could already understand from my skills that my specialty isnt a sword, but a firearm. So watch carefully. Big brother will show you his real skills.
Luke took out a pistol from the Vault. In his left hand was a Magic Sword and in his right a pistol. He looked like an elite soldier from a fantasy future. Well, what can I say?
Yes, yes. I will watch closely.
And the battle began.
Although it was clearly a two-to-one fight, ording to the customs of the continent, a golem wasnt considered in the headcount. That would change once the ck market invented the Crimson Golem, which tore down the northern continent.
Hero T grew serious too.
Bang! Bang!
Shots rang out; the sound was unusual for a fantasy world. He didnt even change the magazine. Instead of bullets, it appeared to fire and detonate Borisspressed A-rank magic. Due to the low level of Magic, the power of the shots was weak, but the use of the Magic Swordpensated for this.
The master and androidbination was incredible, but the final winner was Hero T. They never managed to break through the strongest defenses of the Holy Kingdoms most powerful Pdin.
Master. We no longer have magic.
Ah! Heck!
This was followed by an informative speech from Hero T full of praise, but Lukes expression, covered in sweat, was sullen. And it was now my turn.
Tomato. If youre tired, we can fight tomorrow.
My name is not Tomato, but Thomas. And you dont have to wait until tomorrow. Thanks to the healing of the Saint, my stamina is instantly restored! So dont hold back and attack, Hero of the Holy Sword.
And one more thing.
What is it?
Because of excitement, my palm is sweaty. So forgive me if the Holy Sword slips.
I dont know what you mean, but Ill take note.
Well, Tomato, shall we start?
No hard feelings? Promise?
Chapter 137 - Give it to us! It?
Chapter 137 - Give it to us! It?
As the best student of the greatest Master Mon, I simply couldnt lose to some pdin from the fantasy world. I didnt even need the fantasy world skills because my bodys hormones were my weapon. Everyone had them, but not everyone could use them. Adrenaline, insulin, glucagon, dopamine, endorphin
The gods must be perverts.
Fantasy Skills introduced the concept of pumping, but the human body still couldnt break out of these patterns. Mind and fitness develop only after long exhausting training, and hormones beneficial to the body were produced only in certain situations. The ultimate inefficiency!
Therefore, I respected Master Mon and his teachings.
Hero of the Sword,e!
Hero T boldly shouted at me, pointing at me with the tip of his sword. Thanks to Saint A, he had already fully recovered from thest battle and was in perfect shape. Now he couldnt justify the loss by the fact that he was already tired. Without refusing, I rushed forward at incredibly high speed.
I warn you not to use the power of friendship.
My body then flew like a feather. This was due to the spirits of the wind pushing me from behind and decreasing the air resistance. The spirits of the earth didnt stay idle either. When I jumped, the earth, like a spring, pushed me up.
This gave me a lot of eleration.
What?!
Confident in his strength, Hero T was lost because the spirits of water and fire united to evaporate all the moisture in the air around him. Now Hero T couldnt even keep his eyes open normally. On Earth, this was called xerophthalmia, but the uncouth inhabitants of the fantasy world were hardly aware of this.
Ether spirits stimted his instincts. Due to the bulge in the lower part of his body, he could no longer concentrate on the fight. He began to nce at Saint A instead of concentrating on me, focusing on her breasts and thighs hidden behind clean clothes. His rambling thoughts dulled his reaction.
Where are you looking?
Smiling slightly, I swung the Holy Sword. Due to the xerophthalmia and thoughts of mating, he waste in reacting and couldnt even think of a counterattack. Instead, he tried to dodge. But he didnt seed in this either.
Blop.
The entirety of the training ground was hard and smooth, but unfortunately for Hero T, there was already dirt under his feet. He stuck like he was glued. In this state, he tried to escape, but nothing came of it.
Kuuk?!
Slipping, Hero T fell to the ground. I was a fair Hero, and I made no habit of humiliating others. Besides, Hero T also might not want me to be easy on him.
Or not.
Chwaa!
The Holy Sword Nuclyon cut his sword and armor into pieces. However, I didnt know how much I wounded him. Due to the sharpness of the de, I couldnt feel any resistance. It felt like I just carved through the air.
The Holy Kingdoms National Treasure just vanished so easily?
Looking only at the remaining sword handle, Hero T was speechless. He didnt seem to care that blood was leaking from his armor. Was that such an important sword? He seemed to be focusing on the wrong thing. We needed to help him a little.
This time, I hit Hero T right in his handsome face.
Puduk.
Now I felt that I broke the bridge of his nose.
Huuh?!
His gaze waspletely lost. If it were Alex, he would have held out and counterattacked, but this guy had only a high level and no inner core. Therefore, he was an extra!
Oh!
At this point, an incident urred. The Holy Sword slipped from my hands and, spinning in the air, fell right into the ce between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae. Whatever you look at, this was a pure mistake.
Knight Thomas?!
Oh! Lord! Oh my God!
How is this possible
All observers were astonished, but I liked this result. I dealt with the knight who prevented Saint A from joining the Heros journey, although nohe died due to an ident so that no one would say anything now. The Knights pinned Hero Ts head to his neck. This, of course, wasnt a sight for the faint of heart, but no one said anything.
Because the longer time passed, the greater the price for resurrection.
You cannot leave us so easily. Get up, Knight Thomas.
Woong-!
Saint A tried to resurrect Hero T. However; all was in vain. The one who dies by my hand even loses his soul, so he cannot be resurrected. However
Ohwhat the
Hero T had been resurrected. The level dropped a lot so that it was now difficult to call him the Hero of the Holy Kingdom, but he still came back to life.
? Race: Human
? Level: 317
? Specialization: Pdin (Divinity = Blessing )
? Skills: Divinity (C), Blessing (C), Sword Mastery (C), Fortitude (C), Enemy Search (C)
? Condition: Resurrection
The level dropped from 747 to 317! But it wasnt only the level that dropped. Hero Ts skills had also dropped by one rank. And the skills at F-rank disappeared altogether. It was better than death, but the very fact that his skills had suffered so much was curious. Now he wouldnt be able to call himself Hero Tomato.
By the way
How could he be resurrected?
? Assumption: Could it be that it was a mistake? You didnt kill him, but the Holy Sword flew off and hit him in the neck.
Hmm? Ah, Miss Trainees words make sense.
There were a few more mistakes to be made to be sure of this, but at this point, Miss Trainees guess was prettypelling. After testing his skills, Hero T spoke bitterly.
God punished me for trying to keep the Saint.
Nobody med the just Hero. I warned that my hands were a little sweaty; besides, during the battles, something often happened. He epted his sin by saying that God had punished him that way. After that, no one tried to restrain Saint A.
However, Saint A was in charge of the Holy Kingdom, so she couldnt just leave. It took time to hand over her responsibilities and say goodbye to everyone. While we were waiting for Saint A, we decided to calmly walk around the capital of the Holy Kingdom.
But why are you following me?
I will follow you until you return my spirits!
Sylvia answered coldly, pursuing me like a stalker. On the day that Archer E, who controlled Sylvia like a parent, got rid of the demonic curse, she left, asking us to take care of the princess. After learning of the situation in Elfheim, she went in search of her missingpanions and the queen. The exact location of everyone except the Earth Knight was in my head, but I didnt tell her about it.
The less you knew, the happier you became. How does one exin to her the drama about the Queen of Elfheim now loving the Demon Lord? It went the same for Sylvia. Because no matter how you hate someone, you shouldnt curse their parents.
Suit yourself.
Hmph!
Sylvia used to look like one of the dirty mercenaries, but now she was dressed in the clean clothes that were given to her in the Holy Kingdomat least thats what they said. No state would sponsor the Heros journey. If my memory of the 1st ythrough served me correctly, the clothes that Sylvia was wearing now were the outfit of Saint A, which she wore as a child.
Although she didnt know it, my heart felt better because Luke took the stalker Lanuvel with him. Still, it was easier with Sylvia than with Lanuvel, who pretended to be cute all the time. Taking the chance, I decided to ask her a question.
Sylvia. Do you know what is in the underground garden of the Royal Pce of Elfheim?
In the garden dungeon?
If you dont know, forget it.
She didnt seem to know that the First Spirit was trapped there. Chances were, she was pretending, but this elf wasnt that smart. Sylvia immediately reared up.
Dont treat me like a child!
But there is no evidence that youre an adult, is there?
Grr!
She pouted, but continued to follow me. I was going to stop by a famous bar in the capital of the Holy Kingdom and then grab a delicious cake from the shop. So I decided to take extreme measures.
You constantly ask for the return of the spirits, but if you pursue me, you will only lose them.
What should I do then?
What are you talking about?
The only thing in which I surpassed my brother, who always overshadowed me, is my friendship with spirits. The spirits stuck to my body are special to me. My fellow tribesmen rejected me, but these guys became my friends.
Is that so? Then try harder.
I felt sorry for Sylvia, but the spirits didnt follow her because they liked her. It was because the blood of the Third King of the Elves flowed through her. They just followed the promise.
How can they like this cold-blooded man
Sylvia, who continued to mumble something under her breath, went into the bar with me. The men at the round tables looked at Sylvia with interest, but then their gaze faded, and they continued to drink with colleagues and friends. They were disappointed with her t, LCD monitor, chest. Sitting at an empty table, I ordered the best alcohol in the Holy Kingdom from the bartender.
However, as soon as he saw that I couldnt remember the drinks name, he tried to hike up the price. I immediately grabbed the bartender by the throat, shaking him well.
Do you know who I am?
Kek, kek! Sir! Forgive me!
You tried to deceive the good Hero and think you can get away with it? Ah?
I kicked a big guy who tried to stop me. How dare you threaten me, putting your hands on my shoulder? I was busy teaching ethics to the bar owner.
Suddenly the whole bar was covered with silence. Turning around to find out why, I saw two new guests enter the bar: two women of extraordinary beauty. When they swayed their hips in different directions, the guests heads also began to sway in time. Like their beauty, their race was also unusual.
? Race: Old Human
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Pursuer (Infomation Pursuit )
? Skills: Stealth (Z), Pursuit (Z), Pration (MAX), Immorality (MAX), Infiltration (SSS)
? Condition: Magic Sword, Golem, Composure, Pursuit
The girl in front was wearing a ck infiltration suit and a light dress, which was worn by the daughters of aristocrats in the world of Fantasy, on top of it. If it werent for the ck clothes under the dress, one would think shes a local. And the other?
? Race: Old Angel
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Pdin (Divinity = Blessing )
? Skills: Divinity (Z), Blessing (Z), Sword Mastery (Z), Flight (Z), Taming (MAX)
? Condition: Magic Sword, Magic Dragon, Anger
A very brutal beauty. Her lush breasts couldfort any man who became disappointed in everything after a girl dumped him, and even her nk expression was attractive. Her snow-white dress exposed her back so that she could open her wings at any moment. Anyone who saw her would mistake her for a goddess.
Rice Pie has a serious rival.
Although I would know when I tasted it, in any case, both had old in their race profiles, so I could assume who their target is. As I thought, they were heading towards me. I let go of the rude bartender and sat down. Pretending that I knew nothing, I picked up a ss that was on the table.
However, I didnt have time to take a sip. The Angel grabbed my ss and drank all the contents in an instant.
What are you?
I still hadnt hit her between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae just because I wasnt sure I could kill her with one blow. This was the capital of the Holy Kingdom. If due to the battle with this chicken, the Holy Kingdom waspletely incinerated, then, holding back tears, I would have to start the 11th ythrough.
I wanted to avoid such a turn of events.
Give it to us while we ask amicably, the Angel answering, sitting down in an empty seat to my right and putting the ss on the table. Refilling my empty ss, I replied.
It? Ah! If you want it,e to the bedroom.
This Hero will give you as much as you want.
I am not talking about that! How could you even think of something like that?! You need to keep such dirty thoughts to yourself!
You said you would be amicable?
She made me upset.
Chapter 138 - If you combine the seven forces into one…
Chapter 138 - If youbine the seven forces into one
?Nervous: They seem to have tracked you down by the waves of energy generated by the summoning of the Holy Sword! Please wait, Ill ask the elder for help!
Miss Trainee, hurry up.
Because if these intruders, who were interfering with my release, werent dealt with, the entire central continent of Fantasy would be destroyed, and I would have to start ythrough 11. That would make me angry beyond belief.
He sincerely wishes to recruit you.
Angel exined as she ordered a new drink from the bartender.
He? Is this the First Hero?
He was once called that, but now he is the king who rules the entire gxy. Hehe! Gxyyou dont even understand the scale, do you? He controls such a territory that you never dreamed of.
I really couldnt imagine. And I dont know the point of rulings, which were as many as the stars in the night sky was.
Haha! Right. The one who cannot even cope with his own family, controls the whole gxyindeed, I cannot imagine such a thing.
You!
Miss chicken, I will ask one question. Why would such a great king hire me? He must have a sea of great subordinates.
I asked a little seriously, not blindly mistaking her for an enemy. Unless it was the sworn enemies who killed my parents, depending on the benefit, I could always agree. However, it cannot be ruled out that this was a trap.
The angels voice grew slightly angry.
Look at it from a different point of view. Thend he rules is vast, but there arent many qualified people. There is a shortage of such people in our kingdom. And the Prince and the Hero, whom you killed, just belonged to them. So it would seem that there are only two of them, but thends they ruled were ratherrge.
Not a bad excuse. Until the faculty intervened, I decided to ask the most important question.
Who is the God of Fantasy?
No one knows. We just call him the rector. He is the creator of this institution, whose purpose is to educate Heroes. He raises hunting dogs that will deal with those who oppose him, like with people like our Lord in the past, or you.
Hunting dogs
I think it was said to piss me off, but I had no interest in it because the modern Earth was mired in capitalism. We study and work to make money for someone else. The Fantasy God was no different. Although he made people work not for money, but for skills instead.
In the world of Fantasy, I had seen many people who were over 100 years old. If you say on Earth that you can provide them 500 years of life, there would be many willing people who wouldy out their fortune and obey you. So why do I want to free myself from the skills of the fantasy world?
This was because I didnt want to be drawn into dangerous confrontations like the Heros journey. The real essence of this journey was to kill those who transcend the norms of behavior outlined by the fantasy God.
Hey, what are you talking about? Do you know each other?
Unable to bear it, the princess of the elves, Sylvia, intervened in our conversation. I answered shortly.
Its better not to know.
If she found out that she was only one of the many Sylvias and that she was even married to the pitiful Sieg, she would go crazy. And was it just Sieg? She probably shared a bed with many Earth Heroes. Of course, each Sylvia was a separate person.
However, imagine that your replica was putting on a strip show on the Inte. It was unlikely that you would be pleased.
So, what will be your answer?
What answer?
Miss Chicken and I ignored Sylvia and continued our conversation.
Return the Holy Sword, Nuclyon, ande to our side. The master promised that he would provide you with the best treatment. Ah! And also, he will not remember past grievances. He only attacked you because he mistook you for the Demon Lord.
Hmm.
She seemed to be talking about the suicide attack that got me ripped out of Earth and imprisoned again in the fantasy world. In addition, I received a rare experience when I started everything from infancy. So now it was difficult to say that I was a purebred earthling. And it was not only that.
Surprisingly, I was still a minor byw!
You must admit that these are just great conditions. He will grant forgiveness for the murders you havemitted.
Miss chicken, simply, you can give the entirety of space! I will also state my conditions. I retain ownership of the Holy Sword Nuclyon, and you are getting me out of here. Do not forget that you first attacked me. So what kind of forgiveness are we talking about?
Because of the wrong judgments of the God of the fantasy world, I constantly received ridiculous looks, but by the standards of the Earth, I have always behaved with dignity. It was just self-defense. Under which countrysws did the attacker be the victim?
Miss chicken, with a frown, responded.
You may think that you are being taught here, but in reality, you are nothing more than a hunting dog. Isnt it natural tounch a preemptive attack as soon as you spot an enemy? I hope you understand that.
Understand because I was an enemy? I smirked.
Then you, too, must understand that I am not going to give you the Holy Sword, Nuclyon.
What a shame.
I think so too.
Poof!
Whip!
We started acting at the same time, so it was hard to tell who started first. The Sword of Nuclyon, which I summoned, blocked the Angels magic sword. The wave from the collision spread in all directions. The capital of the Holy Kingdom was instantly swept away.
*
At least thats what I thought. Looking around, I furrowed my brow. Our encounter was truly impressive, and I had hit the Angels back with all my might between the 5th and 6th lumbar vertebrae. The rising hurricane blew everything around us away.
However, it definitely shouldnt have been so powerful as to turn the entire environment into ruins. Yet now, in front of me was a desert. The sun wasnt so hot, but not a single living soul was in sight, not even a cactus. Then
Hello, cadet Kang Han Soo, the voice of a young guy standing behind me arrived at my ears.
How long had he been standing there? Until he spoke, I didnt feel anyones presence at all. I turned and muttered.
So, after all, you were not Miss Trainee, but Mister?
He was a handsome guy with dark curly hair. I used to joke that Miss Trainee was pretending to be a girl, but I didnt seriously think it was a guy. In this world, nobody could be trusted.
Haha! No, Im a student council member. You can say that I am your senior colleague, Kang Han Soo. Afterpleting my secondary education course, I now work on the student council.
Student councilwhere am I?
Our rtionship is not yet close enough for us to speak informally. However, mutual respect is essential
Where am I?
Ahem! The gym of the secondary educational institution.
Gym?
Was this desert a gym?
If superpowers with transcendental skills start a battle anywhere they please, then the continent simply will not survive. Therefore, I was instructed to invite you and the uninvited guests here to resolve the current situation. In other words, students with Z-rank and higher skills fight here.
I checked the Student Council Member Status.
? Race: Unique Human
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Sword God (Sword Mastery = Divinity )
? Skills: Sword Mastery (Z), Armor Pration (Z), Sword Energy (Z), Seal (Z), Tolerance (MAX)
? Condition: Holy Sword, Blessing, Empowerment, Holy Beast
All his skills were incredible. He had the same Unique Human race with a legendary rank as Luke, but this was the first time I had seen such a specialization. He also had four transcendental skills. No, if we were to consider the effect of his specialization Sword God, then he should also have Divinity at rank Z. So, make that five transcendental skills.
The status was also amazing. He had the Holy Sword, which was the hallmark of the Heroes, and he tamed the Holy Beast, which only a few Defenders on the continents of Fantasy had. Plus, he had Blessing and Empowerment. It was immediately evident that he had seriously prepared himself.
Where are Miss Trainee or Ethics Teacher?
I told you, this task was assigned to me. Get ready. The uninvited guests will be here soon. You should have already realized that you will not get out of here until this battle is over.
The sky suddenly darkened, and the reason was not a sr eclipse. Instead, a Magic Dragon appeared overhead. Covering the sun, he looked at us from above. And on the dragons head
How did you find out?
An angel with snow-white wings turned to the student council guy. The guy shrugged and answered slyly.
In all subjects, he was number 1 in the primary education system. At first, I thought that it was just a student from the secondary education system who hid his identity and participated in the re-certification of the initial level. Because of this, special attention was given to him. So thats why you decided to take a chance ande after him? Descendants of traitors
You are the traitors!
Reacting to Angels rage, the dragon began to move. Unfortunately, her rival wasnt standing still either.
Buddy! Goddess of battles! I wee you!
The self-proimed Senior also summoned something. It was without a doubt the Holy Beast listed in his condition.
Boom! Bam!
The two monsters collided, whipping up a sandstorm. The Holy Beast was a huge cat with white fur, muchrger than that suspicious cat-headed giant that lived on the snowy mountain M in the northern continent. It would be more correct to call it a White Tiger.
Yaooong~!
It screamed unlike a tiger, but instead, like a cat. The red-scaled Magic Dragon growled in response.
Frraaaa!
The two giants bit and wed at each other. It was a mess, although their owners were no different. The angel and the man shed in a fierce battle on the ground.
Chang! Chang! Chang! Chang!
As soon as the Magic and Holy Swords collided, sand flew in many different directions. If the battle took ce in an ordinary city or forest, there would only be a wastnd. This was because it was such a devastating battle. It reminded me of my battle with the Old Prince in the pacific ocean.
At first, they went head to head. However, there was apparently a forgotten variable
You seem to have forgotten that I am here too?
A beautiful Pursuer had joined the battle. Her skills werent quite suitable for open confrontation, but she possessed transcendental skills. She, like an assassin, quietly watched for her victims weaknesses. Finally, the wounded student council guy yelled.
Kang Han Soo! Lets fight together! Will you take on that killerKang Han Soo?
I was not interested in what would happen to some guy I met for the first time. I despise the pitiful power of friendship. But what interested me?
So, there is already a secondary education?
And Im now an elementary school student. Sowhatever I do here, it wont affect my report card. So
Even if it was forbidden, could I use it?
Chaa-
As soon as I removed the seal and activated the ck Box, the skills showed up like stars in the Milky Way. I was going to check everything, but I gave up. There were so many of them.
? Race: Natural Human
? Level: 2837
? Specialization: Demon Lord (Hero Level )

? Condition: Holy Sword, Saint, Magic Sword
My body had now been filled with strength.
Now, here I go!
The spirits sexually harassing my body revived. Earth, fire, wind, water, and ether: the five forces joined together. I added Divinity and Dark Energy, and the material was the sand that surrounds us. The spirits gathered the sand in a heap as if holding it together with glue. It was
A giant Kang Han Soo. It was a massive sand doll that even the word giant couldnt urately encapste. Do you love me that much?
Lets go! Captain Kang Han Soo!
Grip! Grip!
Hearing my order, the huge SSS-rank Hero moved forward and grabbed the lizard and cat by the neck. And.
Crack, crack.
The dragon and tiger calmed down where their necks had been broken.
Who is next? Hmmwhere did everyone go?
The dummies were now long gone.
Chapter 139 - I assign you
Chapter 139 - I assign you
Level 2837 Level 3460
The giant Kang Han Soo broke the monsters necks, but the experience points passed to me for some reason. As if to confirm that all the forces (experience points) were taken from them, there werent even corpses left; they had simply disappeared. If the hand slipped and the sword went flying, it didnt work, but the race attribute was applied if I had the intention.
This Hero would raise the Magic Dragon and the Holy Beast. In my kind heart.
Haaap!
Taaah!
Two people then emerged from the sand, shouting. Miss Chicken was inplete disarray with sand stuck in her feathers, and the expression on the student council member was a simple frown. The rising sandstorm had buried them. I greeted them joyfully.
Booong-
The giant Kan Han Soo, created bybining the elements, kicked them with all his might. One might think that due to its enormous size, it was slow, but thews of physics do not apply to Captain Kan Han Soo.
Was a tiger slower than a cat? It was definitely not. This was just a simple principle. Strength was rted to the size of the muscle. So when the body size grew, the bodyweight became heavy, which resulted in slowing the movement. What did it mean? If the body were to grow twice as big, the muscle quadruples, and body weight would also be eight times heavier. That was why a person over 2m in height was over 100kg even though they were not fat.
However, that only applied tomon creatures, not to Captain Kang Han Soo.
Kyaaa?!
After being hit by a huge leg, Miss Chicken screeched as she was tossed to the side. Even the Flying Skill (Z) and Angels wings couldnt help her dodge as Captain Kang Han Soo pressed her with its massive power. She could have slipped between his fingers like a fly or a mosquito, but the spirits of the wind wouldnt let her.
The spirits of the earth and the spirits of waterpacted the sand, and the spirits of fire-heated it. And what happened to Miss Chicken?
She was knocked out. While she fainted, the spirits of ether entered her heart. Who said Spirits were innocent? These spirits, which all along coveted my body, were now having fun with the Angels mind.
N-No! Stop it! Stop it!
nk!
She threw the Magic Sword and grabbed her head with both hands. Was she being seized by some bad memories? It wasnt my business.
Grip!
The desert sand swallowed the Angel, but the giant Kang Han Soos battle wasnt over yet.
How can an elementary school student have such power Kuuk?!
Bam!
He stepped on the guy with his huge foot. I dont know where he disappeared to, but I will finish this battle.
Swish!
The student council guy could only withstand the heavy blow thanks to his Sword Mastery (Z) and Divinity. But for the giant Kang Han Soo, it was just a scratch.
That was also a simple principle. Suppose that there was a 1m sword that could cut anything, even a dimension. Then, could you cut a with it? I didnt know about the Fantasy world, but the Earths diameter was roughly 12,700km, and the highest mountain, Everest, was about 9km(8,848m). You would have to swing more than a thousand times to cut through the.
This was the same situation.
Pujik!
He ignored the scratch on his heel and stepped on the guy again.I am not an enemy, but a student council member-kha?!
Ha! If youre on the student council, then Im the principal.
He imitated a senior, whom I must respect. But the Hero of the wild fantasy world with twenty-six years of experience wouldnt believe such a lie.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
To stop him from lying, the giant Kang Han Soo continued to stomp on him. It wasnt just my opinion; I had evidence.
The elder, whom I must respect, cannot be such a weakling.
This was the most obvious piece of evidence. If this was a student council member who hadpleted the intermediate course, he should be stronger than someone who had been stuck in the beginner course for over two decades. So this guy was not my senior!
Wasnt it logical? The only payment for trying to deceive a just Hero was punishment. After a while
Level 3460 Level 3524
My level had risen once again. I had grown, but it was difficult to expect any huge growth after killing some weakling.
Ah! Now is not the time for that.
If they brought me back now, I would need to seal the ck Box. Therefore, I needed to quickly figure out the new skills. I went over the Status again.
?Race: Natural Human
? Level: 3524
? Specialization: Demon Lord (Hero Level )
? Skills: Giftedness (ZZ), Divinity (Z), Dark Energy (Z), Spirit (MAX), Courage (MAX), Blessing (MAX), Mass Murder (MAX), Invention (MAX), Chaos (MAX), Destruction (MAX), Fortitude (MAX), Physical Strength (MAX), Endurance (MAX), Agility (MAX), Competition (MAX), Five Senses (MAX), Sword Mastery (MAX), Recklessness (MAX), Flight (MAX), Hardness (MAX), Mock (MAX)
? Condition: Holy Sword, Saint, Magic Sword
There were many candidates to use. I knew from when I increased Endowment ZZ that it was too difficult to raise Divinity or Dark Energy to the ZZ rank. Then I need to choose some other skill that had reached the MAX rank. But what should I choose?
It didnt take long to think because there were skills I had been thinking about for a long time.
Fabrication (MAX), Spirit (MAX).
I was thinking of choosing one of them. Spirit (MAX) easily reached the limit, and now I thought about taking it seriously. There were many ovepping and simr effects with my race, but that didnt bother me much. Repeated effects amplified, after all.
What about Fabrication (MAX)? I put much more effort into improving this skill.
? Type: Skill
? Title: Fabrication
? Rank: MAX (0%)
? Z: Appeal above God.
? SSS: Pretend to be part of a family.
? SS: Pretend to be a lover.
? S: Pretend to be a friend.
? A: Pretend to be a witness.
? B: Win the appeal of a family.
? C: Win the appeal of loved ones.
? D: Win the appeal of friends.
? E: Win the appeal of witnesses.
? F: Lie bes believable.
Win the appeal of God. It was a vague exnation, but the words of God in the fantasy world were orders. And so, my beliefs would be stronger than thosemands? It was certainly attractive, but if I was going to defeat the Demon Lord Pedonar and graduate, there was no need to quarrel with God. Although someday if I had to
I put the Fabrication aside and chose Spirit. I left behind a few important skills and donated the rest to ovee the limit. I left some important skills, but I had used them all to fill up the mastery, even though it went beyond the limit. They wouldnt let me use these skills anyway. Therefore
? Type: Skill
? Name: Spirit
? Rank: Z (8%)
? ZZ: Reincarnate someone as a spirit.
? Z: Reincarnate as a spirit.
? SSS: Friendship with spirits of all attributes.
? SS: Friendship with the Spirits of four attributes.
? S: Friendship with the spirits of three attributes.
? A: Friendship with the spirits of two attributes.
? B Friendship with the spirit of one attribute.
? C: Understanding thenguage of spirits.
? D: Ability to touch spirit bodies.
? E: Ability to see the shape of spirits.
? F: Ability to hear the voice of spirits.
The skill Spirit had be transcendental. I was interested in the Z-rank effect, which is why I had chosen Spirit over Fabrication. Reincarnation as a spirit. This meant that I could change my race, which only the God of the fantasy world could normally do.
That was why I chose it. It was at this moment
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
The spirits living here,peting with each other, flew up to me. And they began to sexually harass me. They did all sorts of perverted things. For example, they touched sensitive spots and sniffed me. I was going to rebuke them for it, but
Again?
My eyelids became heavy, and irresistible drowsiness rolled over me. I was going to resist, but it was impossible.
Flop.
I fell into a deep sleep under the onught of foul spirits.
*
When I woke up, I felt relief. While I was sleeping, I could have been killed, but here I was. Still alive.
I opened my eyes.Hmmdid Ie back?
It was at a bar in the capital of the Holy Kingdom, but it was different from what was in my memory. In the bar, not only was there no bartender but not a single guest, and trees had broken through the roof to reach outside.
There were five such trees. Vines crawled through the wooden floor in different directions, and green moss formed on the furniture. Everything looked like it had long been abandoned. And me?
It seems like I slept for a long time
I was leaning against a sandpile that seemed to havee from the gym. Nothing seemed to have happened to my body. What about the Status?
? Race: Natural Spirit
? Level: 1
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: (S), Interpretation (A)
? Condition: Holy Sword
There were no major changes to my body except that my skin was bright. But my race had changed, and now I am a spirit. Did only my race attribute change? I checked immediately.
? Type: Race
? Name: Natural Spirit
? Rank: Unique
? Ability 1: Control experience points
? Ability 2: Assign spirits
? Feature 1: Receives the love of spirits.
? Feature 2: Receives the patronage of nature.
? Feature 3: Receives energy from the universe.
? Race 1: Excellent adaptability.
? Race 2: Specializes in one attribute.
The number of abilities had decreased, but only since the previous three abilities had merged into one with a higher authority. There was also one new unique attribute.
Assign spirits?
I didnt understand what this meant. However, now wasnt the time to think about it. After all, if the race had changed to Spirit, I should have first checked it. I got goosebumps as I looked in my pants.
Everything was in ce.
Phew! I was really scared!
Having changed my race, I didnt think about the side effects or disadvantages. What if it disappeared for good? It was scary to even think about it. Then
Pong!
Nearby appeared the thin hand of a girl. I, without suspecting it, was lying here with some unfamiliar girl. But who was this?
Oh? Is that Miss Chicken? Are you alive?
The girl was the Old Angel. I thought she died from being buried in the sand, but she managed to survive. However, she returned in her original form.
Ohwhat is thishmm?!
As if fighting a headache, she rubbed her temples, but when she saw me, she trembled. And after realizing that she was naked, she tried to cover herself with wings, bending her body forward.
The Angels wings dont seem to be appearing?
What? Why?
Unlike the confused Angel, I knew the answer after I saw her changed Status.
? Race: Old Spirit
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Pdin (Divinity = Blessing )
? Skills: Divinity (Z), Blessing (Z), Sword Mastery (Z), Flying (Z), Taming (MAX)
? Condition: Submission, Embarrassment
There I discovered something interesting.
Miss Chicken. Call me Master.
My lord is onlyMaster. Huh?!
Again.
Master. Whats happening?!
I tried to give her another order, which caused Miss Chicken to panic, but she obedientlyid down in a seductive position.
Ah! So it meant that?
Assign spirit. I think I figured out what this ability is. Anyway
p!
I decided to think about it after checking if my body was functioning normally after the race change. Was there anything more important in the world than this?
If something were wrong, my mom simply wouldnt forgive me, and I would face her tennis racket.
Chapter 140 - The power of friendship?
Chapter 140 - The power of friendship?
We agreed to call Miss Chicken Spirit D from today on. She happily epted the name, so there was no problem. She and I became spirits, but it turned out that neither I nor Spirit D possessed any physical deviations. I checked five times, so that was for sure.
And one more thing. Spirit D obeyed me. The other spirits simply helped me out of guilt for the sexual harassment, but Spirit D obeyed me independently of her will, which was a huge difference.
? Race: Natural Spirit
? Level: 3
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: (S), Interpretation (A), Love (E), Energy (F), Charisma (F)
? Condition: Holy Sword, Saint
And I understood the reason why my level had dropped so sharply. When I assigned someone as a spirit, that meant I also gave away my experience points. Previously, I took the soul and the level, but this time, on the contrary, I gave that soul and level to save her, making her my spirit. So this wasnt Reincarnation but Assign
How interesting.
Besides Spirit D, there were others. Therefore, I didnt name her Spirit A. Having received their masters order, friends who lived in my heart appeared in turn before me.
Kang Han Soo! You broke your promise!
The summoned Old Prince shouted. I thought he was destroyed, and only his soul managed to survive in an android form. But now, thanks to a fair deal, this friend was my property. If you looked at it like this, we had a deep connection. Its good, anyway.
? Race: Old Spirit
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Prince (Nation Power = Willpower )
? Skills: Willpower (Z), Infiltration (Z), Sword Mastery (MAX), Dark Energy (MAX), Resistance (SSS)
? Condition: Submission, Outrage
The Old Prince had his previous level, and skills returned. Although he waspletely naked, he could immediately be used in battle. Thus, he would be named Spirit A.
Bullsh*t! My name is Boris!
But you are Spirit A from today. Got it?
Do not call me that! My name is Spirit A! Eh?!
d you like it.
Next I looked at the elf, who had a face that smelled of rotten fish. The First Hero prepared him in case the Demon Lord Pedonar decided to flee Fantasy. He was the original master of the Sword Saint of Nuclyon, who blew himself up to imprison me again in this wild fantasy world. Meeting my gaze, the Elf Hero turned away.
Spirit B. I hope we be friends?
Hmm! If this isnt a forced order, I will never cooperate!
Do what you want.
I also didnt hope for active cooperation. We were enemies that tried to kill each other to thest breath. Although if I were in ce of Spirit B, I woulde to terms with the harsh reality. I would teach him that realityter.
? Race: Old Spirit
? Level: 100
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Sword Mastery (ZZ), Endurance (Z), Martial Mastery (SS), Sword Energy (S), Inner Strength (S)
? Condition: Submission, Despondency
If only he had a high level, he would be the most impressive opponent. Well, apart from my dearpanion, the King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, whose power was beyondprehension. His specialization was also Hero, so he still had the opportunity to develop further. And finally
For the fact that you gave me this beautiful body, I am ready to give you all of me. May I call you Master?
The elf, with a charming smile, swore her allegiance to me.
Of course.
The golem controlled by the Elf Hero had also risen. However, the skills were different from what I saw when we met on Earth as her soul was too strong for a golem shell. Now everything was different. Having regained her body, she was able to fully regain her strength. This was the main reason why my level dropped to 1.
? Race: Old Spirit
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Exorcist (Demon Damage )
? Skills: Dark Energy Resistance (ZZ), Purification (ZZ), Divinity (Z), Dual Swords (MAX), Dexterity (MAX)
? Condition: Submission, Touched
Skills designed specifically for hunting demons. Most likely, if the Demon Lord met her, he would immediately be turned into dust. Even if an army of demons attacked her, they still couldnt win. I decided to call her Spirit C.
I dont see Saint Hiplia.
Whom? Hip-? Oh! Why are you asking?
The trembling Spirit C looked around and asked me about Saint H. Was it?
Nothing. I have some minor trauma, hoho!
Covering her mouth with her hand, sheughed charmingly and disappeared like a mirage. I think I knew what kind of injury she was talking about.
Then the head of Spirit C was decorated with a staff. It was just a masterpiece for me, but apparently, the owner of the head and the user of the staff thought differently.
Hmm. Not everyone can be assigned as Spirits.
The inhabitants of Fantasy werent suitable. More precisely, the divided souls of the divided worlds didnt fit. And the inhabitants of the Earth? Also no. I had killed many people from the special squad on Earth, but none were reborn in spirit form. Then the condition was
?nce: Maybe you need to be a hero with a whole soul?
Oh! Miss Trainee. How are you?
?Positive: With Luke, it was much morefortable than with Sieg. He has already taken an entry-level course, and the guide that is sold on Earth yed a big role. But it is precisely because of this that the opinion now circtes that it is necessary to correct the entire course of study.
I expected that. After all, the test was the same every time. The examiner, of course, yed a role in determining the marks, but if you knew the correct answers in advance, then even the stupidest student could receive more than seventy points.
And this was a very important problem. For example
You saw that the locals were in danger. In theory, you should run to save him purely intuitively. But if you run only because the guide said that there would be a big reward for it, then that wouldnt be the Hero that the teaching staff wanted to see. You needed to save others without thinking about such things.
First, lets go outside.
Five Spirits with crowns stuck to my body again, but now I didnt even have the Spirit skill. Was it because I had already be a Spirit?
Squeak-
I then opened the rusty door.
?Exnation: Seven years have passed since that day.
I didnt even ask, but thanks for the exnation, Miss Trainee.
Hmm
The capital of the Holy Kingdom had be a dense forest. Abandoned buildings and roads were overgrown with grass and trees, and spirits circled here instead of people.
p!
I spread the wings of a just Hero. And flying into the sky, I looked down at the ground. Only the royal pce and temple remained surrounded by spirits and forest, and the viges of people were moved outside the forest. I had yed a role in this.
Because of this, will the points for Reputation decrease?
First, I needed to urgently meet with Luke. Although, didnt they say that it had been seven years already? Even aside from Combat Strength, for seven years, he monopolized Reputation and Achievement. If he decided to defeat the Demon Lord alone, there was a high probability that he would graduate alone. I would like to avoid that.
?Laughter: Dont worry about it.
Miss Trainee. What does that mean?
?Whisper: Last year, he challenged the Demon Lord but failed. He didnt receive an announcement that something had changed, but the birth rate of demons seemed to have increased. Luke was confused as this was different from what the guide said.
In the ninth ythrough, the Demon Lord influenced thews of this world. It was the birth of demons. Arge poption was a strength! The Demon Lord was well versed in economics and business nning, so this was the so-called unofficial patch designed for the distant future.
And?
?Exnation: The slow Elven Princess and Saint were captured, and the Sword King, Mermaid Princess, and Mercenary King, who helped Luke escape, died on the battlefield trying to hold back the pursuers. They resurrected as demons and were now enemies. Luke, determined to take revenge, went to the northern continent to find newpanions.
And what about Lanuvel, always pretending to be cute?
? Awe: With Luke stubbornly guarding her, she was fine.
I thought I understood the intentions of the Demon Lord Pedonar. If the birth rate of demons increased, then the number of enemies that the Hero must knockdown also increased. Then the Heros level would rise faster than before. What if the Heros level rose?
Then he would continue to influence this world. Luke escaped not because of the sacrifice of hispanions but because of the Demon Lords n for him to level up even more. However, I dont understand the reason why he let Lanuvel go! Anyway
Heh-
The World of Fantasy was just a nursery for growing Heroes, but the Demon Lord also thought about raising the Hero and using him. Somehow the goals of the Fantasy God and the Demon Lord coincided. The victims would be Heroes like Luke, who had blindly believed the guide. Previously, following this guide, it was possible to graduate without problems within three years.
However, because of this unofficial patch, it had long since be problematic to do this. If you traveled slowly pretending to be sweet with Lanuvel, the army of demons, whose number was growing every day, would be much more difficult to cope with. The more poption there was, the faster it grew.
So, the power gap between the strong and weak countries became bigger as time went by. That is
This is a chance for me?
Luke attempted to attack the Demon Lord but was defeated, and the Demon Lords army was growing rapidly. Luke, who has lost hispanions whom he raised for three years, has to strain to somehow resist him. Wouldnt it be easier to kill yourself and start over?
I pped the wings of the just Hero. Although Ms. Trainee continued to tell me about Lukes current situation, I didnt listen to any other information. Due to the increasing birth rate, the number of demons was growing rapidly, and therefore they needed to expand to newnds. Then the Dumpling Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom, and the Elven Kingdom, which were located near the Demon Lordsnds, came under attack.
Were they going to be safe?
You! Those who have dark energy, dont eat them!
Unite under the greatest Demon Lord!
We will reward those who find the Herospanions!
Under the Demon Lord, all people will be equal!
The Holy Kingdom and the Dumpling Kingdom were already in the hands of the Demon Lord. Only the capital of the Holy Kingdom, in which I fell asleep, remained untouched, as it was a kind of sanctuary. The Elven Kingdom was more or less calmpared to the other two, with only small battles taking ce on the border of the steep mountains.
But even such minor losses to the elves threatened the already small kingdom with extinction. The kingdom continued to exist only thanks to the good political skills of the Queen of Elfheim. She was devoted to her homnd, even while in captivity. Now she was the ideal queen who led the country and people. Wasnt the Elven King lucky to have such a wife?
Anyway
The situation is somehow iprehensible.
Although people were under the rule of the Demon Lord, you could not tell that they were in distress.
Now they worshiped the Demon Lord more than their parents who gave them life, but the quality of life seemed to be better than before. And not only that.
? Race: Human
? Level: 3
? Specialization: Chef (Career Cooking )
? Skills: Cooking (E), Cleaning (F), Dark Energy (F)
? Condition: Controlled
All residents had the Dark Energy skill. It seemed that the country had been turned into demon followers. So now, not even disputes arose here. As ordinary people live under hundreds of CCTV cameras, people here also led a quiet and peaceful life under the supervision of demons. But there were also some negative sides. A stereotypical and correct life. Everything was perfect, but there wasnt enough variety or change.
If this continued
? Type: Race.
? Title: Human.
? Rank: Normal.
? Ability 1: Possibility of interspecies crossbreeding.
? Race 1: Excellent reproduction.
? Race 2: Includes various abilities ()
The effect of the race was getting worse. Thanks to experiencing different opportunities, extraordinary heroes could be born among people and geniuses or just gifted children. Elves, dwarves, angels, and demons didnt have this. They were like carbon copies, with simr appearances and predetermined talents.
I shouldnt leave everything like this.
We need to quickly kill the Demon Lord and go to the 11th ythrough. There was no other way out. The Hero lost, and the Demon Lord took over half of the central continent. The other Heroes were sleeping at this time. Because of this, their Reputation and Glory suffered.
Oh? Kang Han Soo?! Hey! Im here! Here!
Flying across the sky, I heard someone calling me from the ground. Usually, I ignored this, but the dimwitted inhabitants of the fantasy world didnt usually remember my name. So I looked closely.
Luke? When did hee to the central continent?
Miss Trainee? You said he went to the northern continent.
?Excuse: There seems to be a mistake due to ack of time and budget. I dont always follow him. I am still in charge of Sieg, and I also have a personal life, so this happens.
Then I couldnt help it! Having failed with the Demon Lord, the Hero Luke searched for newpanions in the northern continent for four years. Sage, Ice Princess, Sword Princess, Saint C, God of War. Amazingly, he managed to get hold of the God of War controlling the Golden Golem.
Haha! How do you like my newpanions? I also got a new Holy Sword, which isnt even mentioned in the guide! Just dont be surprised! This is the Ego Sword!
Luke bragged about the power of friendship and the Holy Sword 3.
Yeah! Cool.
I also decided to introduce my dummies, each of whom had enough strength to defeat the Demon Lord alone.
Chapter 141 - I am not your father.
Chapter 141 - I am not your father.
My dummies were naked without any armaments, which made them the center of attention. They were unhappy with this, so they stared at me viciously. Well, everyone except Spirit C. I would give Spirit C special treatmentter
Wh-what the hell?! What kind of monsters
Seeing their Statuses, Luke turned pale and let out a frightened cry.
I didnt y around for seven years?
Shouldnt an SSS-ranked Hero with thirty-three years of experience be able to do something like that? It made me nostalgic. The dummies gave upining to me and started to look up at Luke. From Spirit A to Spirit D, everyone had their say.
So this is what an ordinary Hero looks like.
The current generation is weak.
So our Master is great?
Huhu! Before him, he is simply nothing.
Normally only Heroes could view the skills of the others, but these were the exception since they had the Old race modifier.
? Type: Race

? Feature 2: Easily recognizes betrayal.
? Feature 3: Recognizes skills easily.
? Race 1: Excellent adaptability.

What unusual abilities. A one-time application instead of a permanent effect? It was good to have the ability to avoid death or suffering, but you never knew what the future held. Even if you were strong, if you died, then it would definitely be the end. Whether it was a mistake or a misunderstanding, if you die, you just lose everything. But here, you could avoid it three times!
Plus, if you were to use everything, you could even change your race! The fact that they could see the skills of others seemed to be the effect of trait three.
Hero! The hero hase!
Hurry up! Call the demons!
And call for reinforcements!
Those who would interfere with our conversation appeared.
Spirit C, deal with them.
Okay, Master.
In a past life, she was thepanion and wife of the Hero Elf; after death, she became the golem of the Hero. Now she was a spirit. Spirit C raised her hands that were covering her chest.
And then she sang a song.
I praise the new life that I received from my Master~? I am so d that I received a body with hot blood flowing~.a??
Snow-white energy gathered around Spirit C, which then spread in waves in different directions.
Aaah?!
Kaaak?!
Kyaak?!
The stronger the Dark Energy was, the stronger the pain inflicted grew. The weak demons, not understanding the reason why, simply disappeared in agony. Maximum effective cleansingit didnt matter if the birth rate of demons had increased. We had an Exorcist with Dark Energy Resistance (ZZ), Purification (Z), and Divinity (Z).
It was enough for Spirit C to sing a song to cause them all to begin to die out.
How is this possible?
Saint C, whom Luke found on the northern continent, watched in disbelief. I had felt it already in the 1st ythrough, but Saint C was far more attractive than the mermaid called a hunter of men. Her hair was smooth and shiny as if it had been smeared with honey, and her breasts so big that I wanted to hold them for her. Her feline eyes oozed lust, and her swaying hips were beyondmon sense.
Even the fact that she stood with her butt protruded a little gave her charm, unlike the one who always pretended to be cute. Saint C made me think not entirely about holy things. What a controversial Saint.
Ah! I forgot about my Saint.
We hadpared the dummies enough. So it was time to put an end to the one called the Heros partner. I called for the one with whom I spent almost twenty years.
Hiplia.
Saint H appeared, pping three pairs of wings. The teaching staff put all their heart and soul into the Festival of Heroes, and there was no one on the continents of Fantasy who could match her in appearance or efficiency. Of course, Saint C was also quite attractive, and some would say that she was more beautiful than Saint H.
However, if you surveyed a hundred people of different ages, then about seventy people would say that Saint H was better than Saint C. Saint H represented the standard of beauty. Nothing needed to be added or removed. And she had grown, too.
? Race: Draconic Angel
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Holy (Faith Resurrection )
? Skills: Faith (Z), Divinity (Z), Taming (Z), Infinite (Z), Virtue (MAX)
? Condition: Divine Dragon, Glee
Hmm? This was different from what I knew. I raised Saint H to specialize in Demon Hunting, but her race changed, and Taming of Z-rank appeared. But it wasnt an ordinary tamer, and what was this Divine Dragon that has appeared?
We see each other for the first time in seven years, Master.
Having greeted me, Saint H lowered herself to the ground and folded her wings. Hmm. What is the Divine Dragon?
Ah! As you ordered, I raised him. I hope you will like it. Come out.
And then a big green creaturerger than a passenger ne suddenly appeared in the sky. He opened his mouth and roared.
Greeeeee???!
This roar wasnt ferocious but more like a joyful greeting. And the horns on his head werent sharp but somehow shapeless. In general, I didnt like it. My ideal kind of dragon was the High Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. As soon as his pitch-ck body appeared in the sky, you immediately shuddered.
And this green
Is this dragonGreen Cake?
I muttered, looking up at the sky. I didnt want to belittle the merits of Saint H. Because no matter how hard the educator tried, still nothing could be done with his natural appearance. Saint H proudly replied.
Yes. This is Green Cake.
Oh my
And this is the body of a seven-year-old premature dragon? He was giant, and his skills were questionable.
? Race: Saint Dragon
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Hero (Experience 200%)
? Skills: Omnipotence (Z), Divinity (Z), Giftedness (Z), Massage (Z), Virtue (MAX)
? Condition: Blood Oath, Anxiety
As if all talents were condensed. Although I didnt understand why he had such a useless skill as Massage upgraded to transcendental, he proved to be incredible.
How did you raise him?
So after the 9th ythrough ended, he didnt disappear?
I signed a blood contract with him. Because I am not separate and I always exist, I registered Green Cake as personal property for the festival and made it so that he wasnt a creature of this world.
Skill Festival
I thought it was useless, but you could use it like this. It was then.
Flop!
When I called the dummies, Lukes condition worsened, but hepletely lost heart after he saw Hiplia and Green Cake.
Hahahawhat have I been doing all these years?
Youre doing fine.
And these werent empty words. For seven years, he had found great sess in traveling and having fun, like a student who started to study from the night before the day of the test. Luke didnt do anything wrong; he just chose the wrong object forparison.
Lukes experience in the world of Fantasy was only eleven years. He was forcibly summoned to this world and spent four years defeating the Demon Lord, and it took him seven years to recertify. If you add them up, that was eleven. What about me?
Thirty-three years. I have been here three times longer. So it was natural that I was three times stronger than Luke.
?Correction: Kang Han Soo. I think you were wrong with that number and wanted to say 30,000.
Lets not get into numbers, Miss Trainee!
Kang Han Soo! What are thesepanions?! There was nothing about them in the guide! Are they from the western continent that the Heroes avoid? Or the southern continent, where there are a lot of undevelopednds? Is it the eastern continent full of secrets? Really! They arent from the central or northern continents, which Im well aware of!
Luke began mumbling incoherently. After thinking for one second, I decided to slightly open the curtain. Nevertheless, thanks to his guide, I got a lot of information. This is my gratitude.
Dont you think our skills are weird?
Weird?
Why they gave them to us.
If you dont want to tell me where you got suchpanions, then you shouldnt bother me with nonsense. God chooses us. Do you think its weird that producers will see a pretty girl on the street and turn her into a superstar?
I see
His way of thinking was different from mine. Luke thought that he was special from birth, and that was why the God of the fantasy world chose him. When he got here and got those skills, he decided that it was a matter of course. Was this called elitism? Or cockiness
Hmm! If you dont want to tell, dont! While you were away for seven years, I challenged the Demon Lord. I failed, and it took me four years to collect newpanions. In three years, I will be even stronger than you are now!
Maybe.
I didnt deny it. I knew it was silly and childish, but if Luke spent another twenty years here, he could be much stronger than me.
? Surprise: Kang Han Soo, youre humble.
Miss Trainee, Im serious. Kang Han Soo is an ordinary inhabitant of the Earth.
My parents were the president of the local tennis club each year, and my ancestors were ordinary farmers. My grades in school were average, and I didnt have any sports achievements. I look like my father
There were millions just like me.
If the God of Fantasy had kidnapped good humans without summoning social misfits, he would have produced many graduates with much better grades than me. Im not that good.
If my mother had the skills of the fantasy world, she could use her racket to take over the entire universe.
Wasnt it said that the pathetic First Hero was in control of the gxy?
? Goosebumps: Kang Han Soos mother is such a great woman?!
Of course! Shes just incredible! I definitely want to introduce you to her.
? Confusion: W-What?! Our rtionship isnt so close yetwe need to spend another thousand years together to get to know each other betterthis does not mean that I dont want to! I just dream of bing a good teacher, and Kang Han Soo is still a studentoh
While I was having a mental conversation with her, Luke took hispanions and left. He was about to challenge the Demon Lord once again, and when he saw me with these dummies, a sense of rivalry red up in him. By the way
Green Cake has grown a lot.
Seen from afar, it was like a huge mountain covered with green vegetation. Althoughpared to the King Dragon of Oblivion, he was the size of his w, but for a seven-year-old dragon, it was quiterge.
Master. Is there something you dont like?
It just bothers me that Green Cake is looking down on me.
I just didnt like Green Cakes innocent face, but I couldnt tell that directly to Saint H, who raised him for seven years. She nodded.
Ah! Excuse me. Green Cake?
Greee!
sh!
Light enveloped the green lizard, and then it began to shrink. Little by little
Ho!
Green Cake transformed into a boy with flowing green hair. A sharp chin and huge eyes gave him the image of a sweet and innocent child wearing a green martial arts robe.
Grip.
Taking Saint H by the hand, he embarrassedly turned to me. Nice to meet you, father.
Father? What was this nonsense?
Im not your father.
I didnt remember having such a son. If you wanted to be called my son, you must be the Dark Dragon or the Magic Dragon, making even demons and angels tremble in fear.
Chapter 142 - Free me! Faster!
Chapter 142 - Free me! Faster!
I will try, father.
Hmm
I decided to refrain from harsh words, because after all, the child simply said that he would try. For a dragons long life of seven years, this was just a fleeting moment. He still had a lot of time to be a great Magic Dragon or Dark Dragon, like the Dragon of Oblivion Noebius. After all, he still had plenty of time to develop!
Yes, Green Cake. Try.
Yes!
The dragon smiled and grabbed Saint Hs hand as if hinting for her to praise him. She replied with a smile on her face.
Well done. Courage is one of the most important moral principles.
Hehe. Ill take that in mind, Mom.
In seven years, a lot had changed like bing attached to a pet like it were your child.
Hey, Kang Han Soo. How long are you going to keep us like this? Spirit A asked confidently, not even covering himself.
Shame wont kill you.
I have been tormented by this question for a long time but are you a Hero?! You killed me in front of my women, then took my soul altogether, and now you make me feel shame!
But this is better than being sold for experiments?
Many countries and organizations on Earth would like to explore the body of an alien. That was why I think I acted rather mercifully. After a while, Spirit A humbly responded.
Okay, I will no longer doubt that you are a Hero. Im grateful that even though you have such awful things in your mind, you still didnt do them.
Now youre talking.
And youre right, too. You shouldnt walk around naked.
Over time, I gradually began to get used to this body. In addition to controlling the spirits, I realized what I was capable of.
Level 5 Level 1
Some minor skills had grown even without hunting monsters, so I used the umted experience points. To where?
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
I made spirit underwear. If there were more experience points, it would be possible to create some normal clothes, but now this was my limit. At least all important parts of the body were covered.
Master! How can you call it underwear?! The flushed Spirit D protested.
It cant be helped; I dont have enough experience points yet. Ill make you garter stockingster, so be a little patient.
I didnt ask for anything like that! I asked about this pair of underwear! Theyre just leaves on strings!
How can you say that?
This was my work, on which I spent all my experience points. If you umted experience points, then in the future, it would be possible to create weapons. The more powerful the equipment, the more experience points I would need. Spirits were still useful now, but if you were to think about the future, you needed to diligently hunt and equip yourself.
After all, my enemys strong. After solving the problem with temporary clothing for spirit, I decided where to go next. I didnt even need to think hard about it.
I have to face the First Spirit.
There were many changes when I reincarnated into a spirit, but the most important thing to pay attention to after rebirth was my attribute. All spirits specialized in one attribute, but I, reborn as a spirit, didnt belong anywhere. Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Ether, Light, Darkness. If not one of those, what was my attribute?
What do you think, Miss Trainee?
?Question: I think you are a spirit of a new attribute. Do the spirits under your control also have their body and skills from their past life? This is different from a regr spirit.
Apparently, it was. If I had the same body as familiar spirits, then Kang Han Soos journey towards his dreams and hope would end. And an urgent journey would begin to turn things around.
Lets hit the road!
Previously, I would have used the Space Transport Magic Circle, but now the Dumpling Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom were overrun by demons, so their connection with the Elven Kingdom was cut off. I needed to move by ground or in the sky.
There was nothing wrong with that for me, as it was entirely necessary to raise the level of the spirits.
Green Cake. Ill teach you a thing or two. He who rules the sky rules the world. Watch carefully.
p!
Embracing Spirit C behind my back, I opened the wings of the just Hero and flew up. Then I issued a short order to Spirit C.
Clear the whole earth.
Okay, Master.
Her song spread throughout the region, massacring the demons and their followers below. If you look, there were good demons and followers. But how long would it take to separate them? Meanwhile, the Demon Lords army was growing. Therefore, it was better to just remove them all.
A strange Hero for whom practicality is important
Hes a pretty interesting character.
Spirit A and Spirit B dealt with the high-level demons who withstood the cleansing, thanks to which they increased their level. Spirit D, having received my permission, spread her angel wings and set about searching for high-level demons for the two. Spirit B earned most of the experience points.
To defeat the Demon Lord, who escaped from the fantasy world, he stopped his development at level 100, but now the need for that had disappeared. Saint H sat on Green Cakes back, turned into a dragon again, and followed us from the Holy Kingdom to the Dumpling Kingdom.
We will not be able to greet the king.
The King, who was going to exploit the Hero for free, ended up getting punished by heaven. The Dumpling Kingdom quickly fell due to the betrayal of the queen, who was a follower of demons. The king and prince were hanged. The queen once again married a high-ranking demon, and the princess became his mistress and gave birth to a demon three years ago.
This country had gone through a rough time. However, that was only the case for the ranks of the aristocrats. Ordinary people lived peacefully. They didnt care who ruled, as long as taxes were low. Most men were drafted into the military to prevent the demonic invasion, and most of them died, so there were many more women than men in the cities. The demons took their ce, however, so there was no problem.
This wasnt modern Earth. On Earth, it wasnt difficult for a girl to survive alone, but on the continents of Fantasy, things were different. Wooden front doors break easily, and if a young girl walked alone at night, she could be stolen and sold into very. Therefore, here the man was the protector of the family.
It didnt matter if they were human or demon.
Master. Should I clean?
Yes.
Demons yed the role of husbands. If a woman was willing to live with a demon who may have killed her husband, son, or father, then I could leave everything as it was. Wasnt that better than making a woman suffer alone? But the God of the fantasy world wouldnt approve of that. He didnt need a world where the blood of humans and demons mixed.
Paat!
Spirit C sang her song, and then the cleansing began. The Dumpling Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom would instantly turn into countries where only women lived, but polygamy was allowed here. Time would decide everything.
Then there will be no problems with Reputation and Personality!
After all, a just Hero saved the country from the rule of demons. What would be next? I went with the dummies to the Elven Kingdom, Elfheim.
*
Elfheim, located in the western part of the central continent, was surrounded by mountains and dense forests. Therefore, it was rather difficult to attack it. Although such detachment from the world also presented a problem. Now only elves lived in Elfheim, so they suffered from ack of poption.
For example, the elf warriors who single-handedly defeated fifty demons then died in battle. If you count it this way, it was profitable, but only one elf was born per day, while hundreds of demons were born in the time frame. Then, all these calctions didnt matter.
Therefore, humans are the strongest.
After all, they reproduced the best. There are idiots who despise the harmony and union of yin and yang, and they wille to their senses only if the state is ravaged by violence that overwhelms the poption.
Just like the Elves.
They pretended to be noble and eventually became ves and captives. Due to different possibilities, fools and social scum were often born, but also, an invincible hero could be born with an extremely slight possibility.
Appearance, skills. Unlike the elves, who were all evenly good with this, it was given only to a select few humans. However, it was these very few who dominated such a world. So what about the elves without heroes?
Kuuk
This is the end of the kingdom of Elfheim
They quietly walk the path to copse. Although, surprisingly, they were able to hold out so long. If the Elven Kings wife hadnt been so well versed in politics, their state would have already fallen, and all elves wouldve been sold into very. The dear elf men were beautifully packaged to be sold to the eastern continent, and the other elves were mobilized for various jobs. Cleaning, washing, farming, gathering
Lets finish here quickly.
Yes.
The demons exploded like firecrackers. I felt no pity for the elves. Although I didnt think all elves were evil like Sylvia. If you look around, there were innocents among them, like Elf A.
Ah! Elf A was a half-breed. Human blood of the highest grade mixed with elven blood made an excellentbination. Anyway
Mm?
Oh?
Huh!
The demons were cleansed without even having time to cry out in pain. The level of Spirit C had risen sharply after she massacred the demons of the Dumpling and the Holy Kingdom, making it nigh impossible to resist her power. A cart full of naked elves ended up getting overturned, and the demons using elves as chairs turned to dust.
The demonmander, who fell to the ground, foaming at his mouth, was left defenseless for Spirit B to finish him off.
Its too easy that tears are welling up in my eyes.
The God of the Fantasy world couldnt fail to release me because I honestly acquired this spirit. This was different from the First Heros ck Box.
Miss Trainee. What do you think?
?Confirmation: Because of thest time, I double-checked the rules carefully. The spirit you own is legal. I guarantee you! If Im wrong, Ill go on a date with you. I promise!
Then it is illegal!
? Nonsense: How is that?!
I always felt Miss Trainees desire to go on a date with me. But if notthen do you mean you dont want to see me ever again?
? Confusion: You are such a fool that I dont even know what to sayand I thought you were perfect, Kang Han Soo, but you also have a stupid side. Oh! I wasnt trying to say that this idea is disgusting to me. I was just trying to convince you.
It was a joke. So, is it legal?
? Crying: Jokeyes. Dont even dream of dating!
While I was talking to Miss Trainee, who suddenly grew nervous, the dummies and I moved on. There was an atmosphere like a funeral filling the Elven Kingdom. The poption here was small, and the long-lived elves were close neighbors, colleagues, or rtives to each other. In general, it could be said that they all knew each other from birth.
And day after day, news arrived that someone they knew had been killed or caught by a demon. There was no room forughter here.
But I like the silence.
I chuckled as Inded in the garden of the royal pce. The massive Green Cake and Saint H, who couldnt help but attract attention, remained on the border to deal with the demons, and thus I canceled the call of the spirits.
So now I was alone, and there were no obstacles in front of me. Many elves who knew how to fight went straight to the border, and the Elven King left the guard of the pce to the spirits. However, all these spirits were on my side!
Everything went ording to n.
Hmm?
On my way to the garden manhole, I stopped, discovering something unusual.
I didnt know that elves grow from the earth
Free me! Human! The elf, whose head protruded from the ground, shouted.
How long had she been in this state? Her head was already covered with dust and moss. But I immediately recognized her.
How could I forget?
Hi, how have you been? Thief E.
The elf who deceived the honest Hero with her fake breasts.
What is this strange nameno, first, hurry up! I think itsing out!
What is?
That thing!
The face of Thief E, whom I met after a long time, turned pale.
Chapter 143 - The Hero’s Attribute is…
Chapter 143 - The Heros Attribute is
At the behest of the Elf King, the spirits defending the Elfheim Pce were friendly to me but didnt wee other uninvited guests. The spirits buried the trespassing elves in the ground. The reason they let them breathe without burying their head was probably that they found it more fun to do it that way.
After all, the spirits were quite moody.
Its none of my business whether youe out or not, so tell me why you broke into the pce like a stray cat. Dont tell me, is it because of the Relics of Chaos again?
How do you?! Ugh?!
Where is it?
D-Dont make me talk Im at my limit
Thief Es face turned blue. I had been patient up until now, but it seemed that the tension was relieved by the vain hope of Im alive now! after meeting me. Once loosened, the reins couldnt be tightened again.
Answer the question. Then Ill get you out.
F-Firstly
If you dont want to, dont.
You devil! Huhuh-?! Come on! Hurry, ask the question!
I was able to get all the information I needed. The location of her home in the Southern Continent was still unknown, but I could tell why she had infiltrated the royal pce. As expected, it was because of a Relic of Chaos. They were quite extraordinary because they were objects of memories that contained the powers of the First Hero. Some of them must have been ssified as treasures.
It seemed like a good idea to rob the treasure trove of each country instead of looking for them while depending on luck. Anyway, as a righteous warrior, I took Thief E out of the ground as promised. She spoke with her thighs curled up.
If you peep on me, I will curse you for the rest of your life!
Even if you ask me to, I wont look.
Thief E rushed to the corner of the beautifully decorated garden and returned sooner than expected with a face like one who owns the world.
I thought I was going to die.
You didnt run away?
I thought that Theif E would just run away. Much to my surprise, she came back.
Its because I cant break through the garden, let alone the pce, by myself. I cant avoid all the spirits with my stealth skills.
So you want to hitchhike with me?
Please!
Thief E bowed her head politely, and she then exined. If the pce falls to the Demons, I will not be able to collect the Relics. It has been difficult before, but I cannot let the Relics fall into the hands of Demons who are not of our kind.
I see.
I didnt care as long as I could return to Earth. I was even willing to trade with the Demons. Therefore, the idea of using the Relics of Chaos to move through dimensions was interesting. If it was difficult to graduate from here normally, and I was even thinking of escaping by force.
The Relics of Chaos. I was not interested in the memories of the First Hero that dwell in it, but there may be some helpful information.
However, I didnt go looking for it right away. My purpose was to meet the First Spirit; I mustnt forget my priorities. Also
Thief E. Come with me.
Isnt this a sewer?
Dont ask. Follow me.
Then why are you calling me so naturally? This must be our first time meeting today.
Thief E, with her forehead wrinkled, asked in an affronted tone. As I was walking in front, I answered.
You may not remember me, but I know everything from your secrets to your name.
You know my name?! No wayI have never told anyone my real name except for my family.
Your name ishmm? Wait.
Miss Trainee Teacher. What was Thief Es real name?
?Absurd: I didnt know you didnt know her name. The elf girls name is Ileana unless it is an alias.
Thanks! I think that was her name!
Ileana.
Huh?!
I was promised to be your husband even before you were born. Were already family! You should thank me for epting you with a humble heart.
Im not that unattractive!
Arent they fake?
H-How did you know that!
I was anxious to try without relying on my skill, but Thief E seemed to have been deceived. She muttered with a look of despair.
Did my mother want to marry me to such an inconsiderate human male?
I call you Thief E because any man other than me can trick you if he knows your real name.
On second thought, you seem like a caring man. I didnt even know it was a name that had been considered that much. Im sorry.
It seemed to be going just fine. Thief E nced at me and turned her head in surprise as our eyes met. It seemed there was more meaning in her real name than I expected. Looking back, Thief E in the 9th ythrough was also condescending as she told me her name. But I didnt expect her to trust me so easily. It would never happen, but I should use her name again if I ever get to the 11th ythrough.
We moved down into the sewer. The maze and traps were easily skipped because I had been through it thest time.
That
At some point, Thief E, who had be less talkative, suddenly pulled my cor and hesitated.
What?
I dont know what to call you. An unexpected marriage is suddenly in front of my eyes, and I dont have my head on straight.
Call me Hero.
Hero?
Havent I told you yet? I am a Hero.
IndeedI understand now. There must have been a reason why my mother, who values our lineage and tradition, chose a human as her son-inw. If so, do you also have the Holy Sword?
I summoned the Holy Sword Nucleon.
Tsk, tsk. You believe me now, only since I showed it?
Im sorry if you misunderstood. Its not that I dont believe you are a Hero. I just wanted to see the Holy Sword. This is just amazing. It seems to have stronger divine energy than the Holy Sword stored in the main house. Its properties are also quite different
Thief E was amazed. I secretly directed the conversation.
Are you still living there?
Yes. Few ces in the world are as safe as there, but my mother is also too mean. She decided to marry her daughter while keeping it a secret from her. Oops! I dont mean that as aint, so I hope you dont misunderstand. Im very grateful that you have freed me from that time of terrible torment.
If you appreciate it, just tell me the location of the house! It wasnt easy to figure it out. However, I was not a 33-year old veteran who would give up easily. I was well aware of the living environment of elves who beautified their lives like primitive people with poor welfare with the intention to harmonize with nature.
The scenery is very nice there. Surrounded byrge trees, it feels cozy.
Hmm? I agree that the palm trees are big, but
I got new information. Palm Trees. The Southern Continent had a different ecosystem in the northern and southern regions. The northern part was so hot that humans couldnt survive, and it grew cooler as you went further to the south. If there were palm trees around the house, the chances were high in the northern area.
There were many uninhabitednds due to the infernal environment, but it was still possible to farm and live in the rivers and oases. However, the scope was still wide. Not only did I not know all of the rivers and oases in the northern part of the Southern Continent, but if the elves lived in hiding, the location was likely very secret.
Really? Thats too bad. Was the house built by logging?
I dont know about that.
Its still a wastnd with no mountains around, still even for a few trees to be cut down
Not necessarily. On a day when the sandstorms stop blowing, the haven of the Fire Dragon is dimly visible.
A specific proper noun had emerged. The Fire Dragons haven. It was a dormant volcano where that very unfortunate dragon lived. Although it was old, it was a red-winged lizard that I couldnt mess with because of his deteriorating mental age. This was usually the case with dragons that humans called great titles such as Sacred Dragon, Spirit Dragon, Great Dragon, or Noble Dragon.
It was like leaving a nuclear missile switch to a child. I didnt think highly of evil and good dragons for a reason.
The constetion that looks like a seat was very beautiful.
Seat?
Im talking about the chair.
Ah! I know that constetion!
I kept narrowing it down that way. And when I had some outline
Were almost there.
Flutter-
Eventually, we were able to reach our destination.
How can a non-elf humane here?
Elf B, who had been living here since the beginning of the Elfheim Kingdom, asked me with a wary look. The stats were the same as in the 8th ythrough.
? Race: Grand Elf
? Level: 999+
? Job: Guardian (Protection Damage)
? Skills: Spirit (Z) Blessing (MAX) Hypnosis (MAX) Rest (MAX) Agility (SS)
? Status: Guarding, Thawing
In addition to this, her attempt to hypnotize me was the same. I didnt have any mental defense skills at the moment. However, the racial characteristics served to prevent the MAX level of hypnosis. Should I say the energy of the universe was helping me? In the 8th ythrough, my kiss was so intense that Elf B couldnt stand it. And so, this time, I decided to use it in moderation.
Hump-?!
Slurp!
I drank her saliva and experience points all the way. It was Elf B, who was struggling to escape from the strong forearms of the Hero wrapped around her waist, but as soon as I gently touched her long ears, the symbol of royalty, she straightened her back like a rail.
There was nothing difficult after that. Elf B, who had been ignoring the principles of yin and yang for a very long time, burned fiercely like dry firewood. No, like firewood doused in gasoline. There were just no embers left! She, who had been holding back her lust for the sake of being the wife of the third Great Elf King, clung to me, pretending to be defeated.
As a result.
Me: Level 1 Level 1545
Elf B: Level 999 Level 1
Elf B, her experience burned out, drooped in my arms. However, her eyes, drenched like cotton, were still not exhausted. They burned with a longing for something deeper. However, we werent alone here.
Thief E. Take her with you.
I handed over thepletely neutralized Elf B to Thief E. She caught Elf B, dressed unconventionally with piercings and essories, with a reluctant expression.
How many hidden wives do you have?
Haha! Hidden wives, huh? If my mother knows, shes going to hit me in the head with a tennis racket! We met for the first time today. I was only going to eat her experience, but this lewd elf rushed in first, huh?
But you touched her sensitive ears?
I just identally touched it while looking for something to hold on to instead of between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae.
Cervical vertebrae?
How ignorant. Im talking about the neck bones.
I paid a lot of attention not to repeat the mistakes in the 8th Round.
HmmI see.
Thief E, who had a sharp gaze like a wife who was suspicious of her husbands staying outte, nodded her head as if to agree for the moment. If I happened to get to the 11th round, I thought I would have to change my position to uncle instead of her husband. I wasnt going to make it to the 11th, though!
Lets put off getting information from the living Elf B. I walked to the being tied to the altar: the First Spirit. The female spirit with the demons chains binding her limbs looked at me with dissatisfaction.
Youvee too soon.
Do you remember who I am?
Of course. Kang Han-soo. Before, you were a human being blessed by nature, but now you havepletely be a spirit?
Hoo?
Even after returning, the First Spirit seemed to remember.
Even if the world is divided, there is only one first. If there are two first, I will no longer be the first. So I am the only one.
But the Demon King cant remember?
Its not that he cant do it; he doesnt want to. He doesnt want to keep the memory of losing to a Hero who is nothing.
I see! It wasnt very important information. There was something else I wanted to know, though.
The First Spirit. If you know Im a spirit, you know what kind of attributes I have, right?
Release me first.
Tell me first.
I wont tell you if you dont release me. This time I wont say it even if you do that with your fingers. Its a penalty for beingte.
Tsk, okay.
I broke the demons chains that bound the First Spirit. Having gained her freedom, she told me as she promised.
A Hero reincarnated as a spirit. Your attribute is human.
Chapter 144 - Time of Self-Introduction
Chapter 144 - Time of Self-Introduction
Human? I was a spirit that was originally human. However, if my attribute was human, nothing changed since I was reincarnated as a spirit. I couldnt believe I had been deceived with a hard-earned Transcendental skill!
Damn Fantasy.
If you think youre going to get away after doing this to an innocent hero, youre greatly mistaken. I will make you repay for this grudge a hundred times over! The First Spirit who heard myint responded, sitting with her ass on my head as natural as if it were a reserved seat.
You have to understand. Dont you think its too easy to specialize in one attribute? Fire Spirits specialize in fire attributes and exert decisive influence when ites to fire. Even their nature is influenced by it. They stay true to their emotions and grow hot easily. Isnt this what humans call hot-blooded?
Hmm?
You may be a spirit, but the human race characteristics are superior to ordinary humans, and you may also have a greater sense of dominance or influence. Youre not just a human-looking spirit. Look! Arent you ignoring the spirits too much in front of the First Spirit?
Human race characteristics
It was that of endless possibilities.
Diversity is the greatest advantage and disadvantage of humanity. There are so many different kinds of people, from fools to geniuses. And your attribute will exert a strong dominance over humans. But its unique. For your attribute to be humanI would rather understand if it were time and space.
Thats it.
Dominate time and space! If you were to look at it scientifically, it was highly deceptive. Above all, it was best to escape from this cruel world without flush toilets.
Attributes reflect the identity of an entity. Thats how much youre human. Youre unusual in terms of diversity.
I am an extremely average human being.
Thats what you think.
There was no information to be obtained from the neutralized Elf B. She was only a lonely single woman.
I thought that there would be no problem with the disappearance of such an idiot who hated his people and was only crazy about big breasts. However, as time passed and I tried to remarry, no man of our kind went beyond Elfheim. He had a bad taste, but there was nothing wrong with his abilities.
Sheined when I asked her to spit out the information she knew. I could only see that Elf B had lived for a long time regretting her choice to give up her husband. Thief E, who was listening, trembled as she spoke.
Youre the second wife of the forefather? The leader of the group of traitors who banished us? Surprisingly, youre still alive, but I imagined a more vicious woman
Even an elf cannot do anything ahead of time, a descendant of my sister. Your sharp temper closely resembles her eldest son.
Ugh
Even with the enemy in front of her, Thief E couldnt speak harshly. Not interested in other peoples family affairs, I shrugged and headed out of the sewer. However.
Theres a shortcut over here, Hero.
Elf B said that there was a separate secret passage out. She continued with a bitter look on her face.
This ce was designed to lock up the First Spirit so that our kind can continue to receive the protection of the spirits. Without the help of the spirits, we would revert to being just the long-lived livestock of humans. I wanted to stop it somehow. But now its useless
The First Spirit answered, lying on my head with her boredom in on her face.
If youre begging for sympathy, thats fine, Silesia. If in the future you be my faithful ve, Im willing to show you a little mercy.
I will serve you as my master.
Elf Bs decision was very quick. She epted the request to be a ve without hesitation. Just looking at it, it was clear that she must have loved her people. However, there was a problem with that decision.
Elf B led us to her bedroom. Even an elf royal family who lived forever doesnt just eat dew. Eating, pooping, and sleeping was essential. Her bedroom was quite luxurious. Although it was old and worn out, there were many elegant pieces of furniture and decorations.
Oh! Its a slime toilet.
Here is a secure ce, so its difficult to dispose of excrement. Its an old-fashioned model, but the slime in the toilet is great. It helps relieve chronic stress constipation easily.
I nodded, indicating that I knew it all. The slime stimted the sphincter to induce pleasant bowel movements. However, wizards didnt grab any slime and used it in the slime toilet. Only professional slimes with massage skills were hired.
That was why it was very expensive.
What about that?
A necessity for a single woman. It is hygienically safe as it is made from a unicorn horn. Ah! Is it too early for thedy here? Find a good man quickly. Otherwise, like me, you willfort yourself and fall into shame.
Elf B knew pretty well what was going on out there. The kingdom was on its way to destruction due to the Demons invasion. The Elf King lost his wife to the demons, the Demon King defeated the Hero, and his party was wiped out. She seemed to know all the big events.
Well. You cannot live by eating dew alone.
Yes, Hero.
After looking around Elf Bs bedroom, we came out through a secret staircase in the bedroom that connected to the ground. She couldnt live by eating only the moss on the stone, so she had to periodically save food from outside without anyone knowing. This secret passage couldnt have been discovered until now because it was connected to the ughterhouse, which the Elves were reluctant to enter.
Elves rarely ate meat, after all, except for wild elves like Sylvia. And when it came to the ughterhouse freezer, there was no one looking into it, not even the spirits.
Thats why the kids couldnt find me.
The First Spirit nodded with understanding. Earth, fire, wind, water, ether. This was because no spirit of any attribute liked a ce where meat and bones were frozen and piled up. Elves tend not to eat meat, but its not that they couldnt. Its just that the culture of abstaining from eating meat had been established over a long period because the Spirits disliked it.
Once they knew the taste of meat, however, they could eat it well like Sylvia.
The ancient people enjoyed meat and fish well. When I was nomadic, I ate whatever insects or bugs I could find to avoid starvation. I couldnt have imagined that meat was piled up like this and not eaten. It was Elfheims achievement that the Elves were able to rx like this
Elf B bragged about her husband whenever she could.
? Sadness: Her husband made a mistake. He gave this kind of wife less love because she didnt suit his taste. I saw a lot of dairy in her room! She must have been trying to get the body her husband wanted.
Miss Trainee Teacher, there are things in this world that cannot be done even with effort. And his preferences should be respected.
Does the ughterhouse owner know who you are?
I am the owner.
A member of royalty?
Elf B smiled bitterly.
The future generations have fantasies about us, but in my difficult childhood, I often ate live cockroaches. Its not a matter of skinning animals and removing bones and guts. There is no one to entrust it to, and if I let the work go, the kingdoms leather supply would be cut off, and my livelihood would be disrupted, so Ive been doing it until now.
When I looked closely at her abilities, she had ughter (S) among her skills. Proof that she had been working on this for a long time.
Youre an elf, but youre diligent and full of vitality.
I want to deny it, but I agree that kids these days arezy and optimistic. When I saw the Elf King who came toin that the Demon King had stolen his wifeI truly felt the intent to kill.
The ughterhouse was next to the royal pce. Although the elves, who pretended to be noble, seemed reluctant and stayed far away from it, ughtering work, which was sensitive to the Spirits, had to be done in a city where spirits were rare. The high-quality leather and bones produced here were sold in the market, and the meat was sold to Elf Bs belly or to a very small number of regr customers who knew the taste.
Then, if it looked like it would go bad, they just handed it over to the animal keeper.
HmmI need to feed Green Cake too.
There was no doubt that he was a healthy child, but the more, the better. There was nothing wrong with eating meat and getting bigger.
Although we deal only with high-quality hunting, theye from all over the kingdom, so the supply is high, and the demand is always insufficient.
That was why they used high-quality meat to feed their animals. Wasnt this a waste?
Speaking of which, shall we have a barbecue?
There were quite a few misceneous things that I had been supporting. It didnt matter to me that at some point, I could stop eating altogether, but I couldnt tell if it was the case with the rest. After all, the act of eating wasnt just to fill the stomach. It was also pleasing to the tongue.
I summoned Spirit A first. The First Spirit and Elf B recognized him at once as they had lived a long time.
Oh! The pissing boy.
Boris the Dark Prince!
The names they called out were different, but the two seemed to know Spirit A. Spirit A frowned as he greeted them.
Miss Fronesis. How long are you going to tease me about the old days? Im an adult now. And Aunt Silesia. Did you make your life better by betraying Uncle Elfheim?
Next was Spirit B, the former owner of the Holy Sword Nucleon and an elf warrior who lived a long time. Thats probably why his race must have beenbeled Old.
Oh! Little kid.
Silerion the Sword Starbrother
As a friend whose swordsmanship reached the grade ZZ, the nickname was marvelous. However, the nickname called out by the First Spirit was still regrettable. Spirit B answered in a calm tone.
Its been a long time since Ive seen you, Miss Fronesis. May you be with that person again someday.
Someday? What a joke. You have no intention of saving me.
The First Spirit responded in a cold tone. However, Spirit Bs expression didnt change as he looked around.
Silesia. The disgrace of our kind, a foolish little sister. I want to say many things, but looking at the way you are now, it seems that there is no need for that. I dont think you can be any more miserable.
Brother!
Do not call me brother until Elfheim forgives you.
But he already
He is alive. He is not a man to die so easily. The God of Cockroaches blessed him.
Spirit B could only guess, but as he said, he was alive and well. In a world where the Hero Festival was held.
Next was Spirit C.
The little kids mate. You reincarnated as a spirit, too?
Sister.
Spirit C was the beautiful wife and reliablepanion of Spirit B during her lifetime. Then what about now?
Miss Fronesis. Right now, Im not rted to Silerion. Our rtionship ended when I lost my body and became a golem unable to have children. Now I am going to enjoy a new life in a new body.
Oh! Thats a good line.
I think so, too. Fufu!
Spirit C, smiling faintly, winked at Elf B.
Cheer up. Silesia. Let the nagging of such a stubborn man flow in one ear and out the other. How can he scold his one and only sister, whom he hasnt seen in a long time, about the old, outdated days? He doesnt live up to his age!
Sister
Is sister all you can say?
Oh, no. Thank you.
Thest one was Spirit D. But just because youre talented doesnt mean you are old.
It is a great honor to meet you, Miss Fronesis, the First Spirit, and Silesia, the second wife of the 3rd Elf King. My name is Siriel, the daughter of the Archangel Viruel.
Ah! Youre the daughter of that hunk?
Nice to meet you, Miss Siriel.
It ended ndly because there were no pre-existing friendships or ties at all. If I were to outline their self-introduction
Spirit A: Boris, the Old Prince
Spirit B: Silerion, Elf Hero
Spirit C: Silerions Wife, Exorcist
Spirit D: Siriel, Angel Holy Knight
It wasnt a particrly important issue. I could ask the Miss Trainee Teacher whenever I needed personal information. Finally, I summoned Saint H and Green Cake.
This is Hiplia.
Oh, yeah.
Nice to meet you, Miss Hiplia.
It was very awkward. However, the boy with green hair, who was soon summoned after that, greeted them with a bright smile.
Hello! Im called Green Cake!
The First Spirit, who was generally bitter no matter who greeted her, responded by pping her wings excitedly.
Oh, what a cute little dragon. Whose lineage are you from?
Elf Bs eyes were also shining. It was so frustrating to watch. Hearing that the guy who should be a great dragon that would make the world tremble with fear when he grew up being called cute
I was very worried about his future.
He is my father!
Green Cake proudly pointed at me. I hadnt epted him as a son yet.
Oh My God! Did thews of heredity change while I was imprisoned?!
The First Spirit murmured disrespectful words.
How about me? I was also cute when I was young, right?
It was agreed upon by the people of Northern Fantasy. Even the people who insisted that I wasnt eventually fell for my smile.
Chapter 145 - All Cultural Assets Are Like That!
Chapter 145 - All Cultural Assets Are Like That!
A barbecue party was held for one hour to strengthen everyones friendship. Judging that I had been resting for too long, I dismissed all of them. There was a ridiculous protest that the party had just started now, but when the hero and his party yed hard, who would protect the fantasy world? I had to work diligently to return to Earth as soon as possible.
Thirty-three years. I had been here too long.
Thief E. Where is the Relic of Chaos?
This way.
We walked leisurely across the pce without a guard. There were many cases where the Earths crime prevention system had a big failure after blindly trusting the surveince cameras. The Elf King was making the same mistake. The royal pce, which relied on spirits for security, was no obstacle for me. Whats more, when the First Spirit, the head of all spirits, came forward, it was like leaving the safe wide open.
Not only that. The spirits who pretended to be innocent began to loot in earnest. They transformed from security guards to armed robbers! The spirits had no understanding of the art and metals that elves and humans had determined to be valuable. Still, they stole anything they could because they thought it would be fun, following the instructions given by the First Spirit.
Thats incredible.
When I saw that scene, all I could do wasugh. A normal predator would have taken the expensive things first. However, the spirits, not knowing what was precious, picked up anything that stood out. There was no clear purpose of stealing them to be rich; they only thought it would be fun.
That was all.
Huh?! Whos wearing my shoes-no?! My pants are also not here?!
The spiritsughed cheerfully as they watched the Elf King engulfed in confusion. Even though his people were dying in a war, the Elf King, who was sleepy, wandered around looking for the missing objects. Of course, he didnt go looking for it himself. He ordered the spirits.
However
Ugh?! Why is my affinity for spirits so low?!
Now that the First Spirit was released, all the spirits were affected by her in some way. This was because the First Spirits attribute was spirit. It didnt matter how great the Elf Kings previous affinity was. If the First Spirit was unfavorable toward him, it was over. Even steadfast friendships could turn hostile as if flipping a coin.
As I followed Thief E, who led the way to where the Relic of Chaos was, I questioned the First Spirit.
Madam. Can you remove the spirits that are attached to my body?
Im not an olddy! Dont call me madam. Call me by my name.
Your name?
I was called it throughout the barbecue party. You should have
Madam.
Just give them a break. Huh! I can remove them by ordering them around, but isnt that too harsh? Its like forcing an office worker who has be a ve to money and ss to quit drinking and smoking.
Indeed
I used to hear that my body smelled good. That seemed to be valid even now that I became a spirit. However, I didnt expect a righteous hero would be ssified as a drug. Elf B, who followed like a shadow behind us, remained silent. Her eyebrows trembled every time the spirits, running around the pce like a yground, ruined expensive pottery or paintings. Still, she was faithfullyplying with the demand to be a ve.
Here it is.
Guided by Thief E, these junky fellows and I were soon able to reach our destination. As expected, it was a treasure trove. It was apletely enclosed space, both physically and magically, so that even the spirits couldnt invade at will. However
Rustling!
Even the iron gate of such a hard treasure trove was useless in front of the Holy Sword Nucleons de.
Thud!
The thick iron gate fell, revealing the inside of the treasure trove. Contrary to the expectation that it would be dark, the inside was bright with an emerald-colored luminous tone. I looked through the neatly disyed treasures. However, it was still impossible to discern which was the Relics of Chaos. Seeing this, I asked Thief E.
What kind of thing is it?
Thief E, who ate the meat offered at the barbeque without hesitation after being buried in the ground, went forward without hesitation. She walked in a straight line, not even paying attention to the treasures that ordinary people would have their eyes on.
There she went, right towards the Relic of Chaos.
This is it.
And she picked up a ss bottle of iridescent liquid.
Isnt it the Elf Kings tears?
The greatest of the three hidden treasures of the Elf Kingdom. It was a rare elixir made of special materials that could only be obtained at the birth of the elf royal family with eternal life. It healed all diseases and wounds and promised youth and a long lifespan.
However, there was only one bottle. If only there were more elf royalty, they would have kept a bit more, but the reality was that the death rate was higher than the fertility rate. It was surprising that the legacy still existed.
Elf B opened her mouth for the first time.
It is because historically, there were secretly many princes and princesses who were married to human heroes who werent of our kind. The centa of the mixed-blood cannot be used as an ingredient for an elixir. And the children born like this cannot be pure elves. They are just long-lived humans.
Therefore, the elf royal family alwayscked in number. The lucky thing was that there was a half-chance that a royal family member would be born between a royal elf and an ordinary one.
Is that a Relic of Chaos?
The bottle, not the elixir, is the Relic.
Let me see.
Dont drink it. Hero, youre so excellent that even taking it wont seem to have any effect.
I wont drink it.
Because my business was with the memories of the First Hero, which resided in the Relics of Chaos.
*
This time, the lead actor was the First Hero. However, there wasnt a single supporting actress that he loved so much to be seen. Instead, a dwarf with a crown appeared. Just by looking at his fancy attire, he was a dwarf who seemed to introduce himself by saying, Im the King of Dwarfs!
I have to run away from home.
To such a Dwarf King, the senior hero told a very regrettable story in a very serious tone. And the answer?
Haha! Thats not something a hero would say!
The Dwarf King seemed to agree with my sentiments.
After all, for the first time, the Demon King Pedonar, who was immortal, waspletely sealed, and the world is peaceful without any major problems. And theres no need for a strong hero in a peaceful world.
Friend. Arent you now a husband and father, not a warrior?
Friend? Hey, are you okay?!
The Dwarf King was bewildered by the warrior who suddenly burst into tears. His expression was one of mixed emotion. Was that because he couldnt stand looking at it?
Im tired.
Thats exactly what it looks like.
I think my family is fighting because of me. If I do something about it, I will only get bad results one way or another. If I meet wife A, wife B and wife C will judge me. So, if I meet them evenly, now I check them in order. I epted theints and tried using the art of doppelganger, but the situation only got worse. The children dont say it out loud, but I think theyin a lot about me. I cant do anything.
A man with a harem wanted to live alone. Was it like how a person who had everythingined about being full?
Hmm. I know youve got a lot of stuff.
Im happy when I sleep alone.
Haha! Even that friend who proudly said that he couldnt live a day without a woman when we went on an adventure together has changed a lot.
At that time, I was a young brat.
Even you, who wants to run away, dont look like an adult
The Dwarf King patted the armrest of the chair he was sitting on with his fingertips and looked perplexed. Then, he went on.
Didnt you choose the wrong person to talk to? Friend, you know we dwarfs dont have women. Thats why I constantly engage in artistic activities to win favor and woo women of other races. However, it isnt easy. Harem? We are grateful for the wives that dont divorce us. Simply put, it seems youre bragging to me that you cant handle it because youre too lucky.
Is that so
If you understand, lets have a drink. Im not as great as you, so my life is already short-lived. When I was young, I dreamed of winning the hearts of the first beauties with the best artworks, but now my goal is to end my life with a good drink in hand. Ah! Of course, its pretty easy to find a way to live longer. However, the value of an artwork increases only when the artist dies and bes scarce. I want my artworks, which are like my own children, to be loved by people for a long time.
Are you going to die for your children?
Hahahaha! Thats how parents feel.
The First Hero didnt speak for a long time, as if pondering what the Dwarf King had just told him.
I didnte to you just to consult.
You must be running away from home.
Yeah.
Then it means you came here because you needed something. Do you need a farewell gift for your wives? Hmm. Im sorry, but how many wives do you have now?
Its not a gift for my wives.
Then what?
I had a rough idea of what the First Hero would say. After all, I was looking into this memory through it.
I need a vial.
Its not a pretty vase but a vial?
I have a terminally ill daughter. Its because part of the curse of the Five gues sealed in my arm has been moved. So she has to take medicine regrly, or I need to purify her myself, but if Im gone, she will have to rely only on medicine in the future. However, the shelf life of this medicine is very short.
I understand what youre saying.
Is it possible?
Hah! How can you say that? Im the King of Dwarfs. Ive solved the vainpulsion to make a weapon to defeat the first Demon King. A vial is nothing! And about that, I made one already.
The Dwarf King took a ss bottle out of his pocket. It was something I was familiar with.
Is this?
Right. Its very luxurious for a medicine bottle, isnt it? Its originally made from a vase. Its a big deal if the roots of the flower rot because I dont change the water, right? But Im toozy to change the water. Thats why I made it ambitious, but I didnt think much of it. What kind of flowers can I grow underground where there is no sunlight? Hahahaha!
You mean the liquid in it will not stagnate?
Right. Contrary to its appearance, the bottle was hard to makergely because the materials were rare and the process was difficult, but if stored here, it will not rot or deteriorate no matter how many years pass. I am currently using it as my portable wine bottle. Is this okay?
I think its more than enough.
*
Should I say the truth is cruel? A vase made by a dwarf to satisfy his boredom became one of the great three hidden treasures of the elf kingdom. It wasnt that I didnt understand. Even in my hometown districts that were breathtakingly beautiful, many cultural assets were treated as national treasures that had very little purpose.
And the function was too good to be used as a vase. It wont spoil no matter what you put in it? It was better than vacuum packaging.
Thief E. How many Relics of Chaos have you collected so far?
This is the fifth one.
Its too few! The family originally kept three, so you said you found two, but what have you been doing?
Did Mother even reveal significant family information to you even when were not married yet?
You did it. Thief E had a brooch. And as for the Relics of Chaos that I knew of, there was the Empress Garter Belt. Including this, there were six. A total of 9 relics were required for the dimensional shift. That meant I had to collect three more.
Do you know the location of any other relics?
The Marchioness of a kingdom in the north has one. Her family name is Sosiris. She was a great aristocrat with many conspiracy theories surrounding her because her husband, The Marquis, passed away without even making it the first night. I dont know exactly what it is because I checked it from afar, but its something shes always carrying.
Sosiris? I think I heard it somewhere
?Answer: It is an alias and identity used by the daughter of the Demon King.
Thanks, Miss Trainee Teacher!
That cowardly demons alias was Sosiris.
But there are still seven. I am short of two. Hmm
Shall I go around looking for more? Thinking that far, I shook my head from side to side. While I was sleeping, Luke the warrior challenged the Demon King and lost. Now, his reputation dropped to the bottom, but thanks to his failure, I achieved the feat of restoring the human territory that the demons had stolen.
Was this a blessing in disguise? I think I can graduate from here. And if I can graduate from here, I didnt want to waste time looking for shortcuts. The First Spirit responded, lying above my head once more.
Are you going to the Demon King?
Yeah. I feel sorry for you, who has just been released.
Its okay. Ive got a way.
How?
Ill teach you the next time we meet. Fufu!
The First Spirit looked at Elf B andughed. Was there a secret deal between the two at the barbecue party? But it was out of my interest. Knowing that my attribute was human, I had no business with the First Spirit anymore. So Im sorry for her, we would never see each other again.
Come on, lets go.
With this, I couldnt help but feel sorry for Luke, who worked hard to collect the Holy Swords and colleagues from the Central Continent and the North Continent for six years, but I didnt want to wait any longer after being locked here for thirty-three years. I summoned my human spirits.
You dont even call me by that ridiculous name anymore?!
Spirit A, who was the spirit representative,ined to me over a trivial matter. I ignored it.
Spirits, were advancing to the castle of the Demon King.
I saved the Central Continent, which another hero ruined. It was absurd that such a great hero couldnt graduate from here. I didnt even use illegal skills; Miss Trainee Teacher confirmed this. She promised to go on a date if she was wrong.
? Difficulty: Well, you remember those things clearly
Theres no reason I cant graduate from here. No matter how narrow and petty the Fantasy God is, it will not be able to stop me this time.
The time hase.
It was now time to return to Earth.
Chapter 146 - Back? Am I Back?
Chapter 146 - Back? Am I Back?
Is that hero a monster?!
All hispanions are monsters too!
Theyre different from the hero before-ugh?!
A bustling army of demons blocked my path, but we mercilessly stepped on and passed with hopeful dreams and righteous hearts. The longer the fight, the more people grew tired. However, the more we fought, the stronger the level rose, so we grew faster than the fatigue could affect us. And my spirits were powerful fighters who had lived for a long time.
Theyre not like my previously stupidpanions.
We crossed in a straight line from the Elf Kingdom to the Demon Kings castle. If he had to go through the sky, we could have passed quietly, but I chose the thorny path to build up our achievements and reputation.
Dont let the hero go any further!
I am the Demon Kings right arm- Kugh?!
Stop him! A hero worse than Demon- Kuargh?!
I cleaned up all the demons that rushed me like madmen. It was possible to surrender or flee, but the loyalty of the demons bound by magic was a force to be recognized. That didnt change anything, though.
Bang-!
After passing through the hallway full of demons corpses, I went inside, kicking down the huge door in front of me. But it was a little different from before.
Youre not alone, huh?
I thought he would be alone with the Elf Kings wife, but the Demon King was with a number of his men. They were all faces I knew. Prince 1, Princess 1, Duke A, Duke B, Commander B. Besides the 1st ythrough, there were several records during the encounters at the time of the Demon Kings territorial suppression that were swept away.
Prince 1 was the de facto second-inmand who managed all sorts of matters instead of the Demon King who was stuck on the throne, and Princess 1, the eldest daughter in charge of diplomacy, was engaged to Duke A next to her. As for Duke B and Commander B, I didnt need to worry too much about them. The higher the rank, the lower thebat power.
I see quite a few nostalgic faces.
Demon King Pedonar normally introduced himself and gave a loud performance every round. However, this time he didnt. Perhaps it was because my spirits were rted to the First Hero, and the First Hero was the one who defeated him. As the Demon King, he had to have a different mindset than when dealing with the Earths clumsy warriors.
Even the spirits seemed to notice it. But they bore no hostility to an old enemy. Was it like calmly watching a lion in a zoo?
I want to talk more with the Demon Lord, but I think it will adversely affect my personality score, so you will have to leave for now.
Right. I was defeated by a warrior who was indeed an absolute evil. But, Hero, keep it in mind. If you survive and dont die, we will meet again someday. As my son-inw.
It sounds terrible!
Haha! Come on! Hero!
The Demon King, who eximed with excitement, was defeated in vain. The Holy Sword and the power of friendship were unnecessary. Because I intentionally didnt raise my level, the level of the Demon King was also quite low, and the Demon Kings subordinates were swept away like dust without being able to handle even one flick of my spirits fingers.
Justice wins!
As my son-inw, its an incredible skill
Till the end, you keep saying, son-inw!
Thud.
The Demon King fell while throwing a curse. The First Spirit responded.
I think he left a mark on your soul in the previous round, right? If I have to name it, it would be the Protection of the Demon King, going off on his own to do you a favor.
It must be malicious! What son-inw!
Anyway, you are so funny. I hope to see you again.
Dont say terrible things.
? Hero. Did you enjoy the adventure?
I heard a voice that I didnt want to.
?The path of a true warrior is difficult indeed. However, many rtionships supported you, who did not lose hope and dreams. You learned friendship and love from them and grew up together, and you finally defeated the evil Demon King. Congrattions from the bottom of my heart!
? Shall we check your grades from now on?
I read the report card, calming my tense, beating heart. Please!
?Name: Kang Han-soo
? Combat Power: SSS
? Achievement: S
?Reputation: B
?Personality: A
?Note: Haha! What an educational achievement!
The scorer, Fantasy God, was puffed up with pride. It was very unpleasant, but I decided to move on quietly because I would never see him again. I cant ruin it by not being able to hold on for a moment, right? If I put up with it, Ill see the light.
? Congrattions on your graduation.
Just like right now!
?Certificate of Award: The above student has been diligent in his adventures and practiced good deeds. In addition, he has always set an example for the natives of Fantasy by being considerate and giving way to hispanions. Therefore, the above student is appointed as an S-ss hero. Congrattions on your graduation.
? The graduation ceremony begins.
Previously, I graduated as an A-ss hero, but I was appointed as an S-ss hero this time. Although the overall evaluation wasrgely influenced by SSS-gradebat power, the S achievement couldnt be ignored. I dont know why the reputation was so low. Still, it was very encouraging that the person who had always been a drag got an A.
Everything was as expected.
?Regret: Congrattions. We cant go on a date, but I sincerely pray for the best things to happen to Kang Han-soo in the future.
Good luck to you, Miss Trainee Teacher! If you need a mans broad chest,e to me anytime. Ill wee you with open arms.
?red: Its enough!
Haha! What are you embarrassed for?
? All faculty and staff congratte you on your graduation.
? The job Hero will be recovered.
? The weapon Holy Sword will be recovered.
?Status Student will be recovered.
? Principals instructions.
Oh! Gosh!
I heard the principals instructions that I had heard before again. I was annoyed to hear what he said repeatedly, but I waited for it to end quietly because my graduation shouldnt be postponed or canceled.
? The graduation ceremony is over.
A warm light enveloped my body.
Im going back.
From now on, lets forget about grades and think about how to avoid mothers tennis racket. Its a really happy problem.
*
I was sitting in a soft armchair. There were antique desks, bookshelves, and a firece around me, and from outside the window, I could hear a loud noise reminiscent of a market area. That wasnt the only thing. Next to me, a beautiful woman in a maid outfit with an attractive ck and white contrast was waiting quietly like a mannequin.
? Race: Grand Human
?Level: 999+
?upation: Maid (Master Handyman)
?Skills: Cleaning S Office S Cooking S Stamina S Swordsmanship A
?Condition: Good
She was more capable than any maid I had seen on the Fantasy Continent for thirty-three years. Her face and body were also beyond the realm of an ordinary human being. It seemed like she was a princess of a kingdom who insisted on being a maid.
Anyway, this ce had an atmosphere like the bedroom of a certain Fantasy aristocrat. It didnt look like normal graduation. So I decided to ask the maid to check.
Where am I?
This is graduated student Kang Han-soos private bedroom.
The maid, who had been silent, answered in a nonchnt voice. Kang Han-soo, a graduate student. It wasnt normal graduation, as I guessed. If I returned to Earth after normally graduating, as in the past, it would be impossible for anyone I saw for the first time to know my name and identity urately.
Is it a graduation festival?
It reminded me of the Hero Festival, which started with a hard stone chair before. The treatment was much better than it was back then, but the form was simr.
Its a little different.
Different?
Yeah. The festival before had a choice for graduates. But from this time on, there ispulsory treatment, and there is tant discrimination based on ability and performance.
Discriminationlike this room?
Thats right. Ah! Would you like to listen to the exnation while eating? Im pretty good at cooking.
Of course, I would. If the skilled cooking was Grade S, it was enough to be called a legendary chef. Though, of course, this also varied from person to person because skill level wasnt everything. If youve only made Carp Bread your whole life, you would be Grade A. However, you couldnt be a chef in the royal pce if you could only make Carp Bread well.
Alright.
Fufufu! You can look forward to it.
The dishes came out in a sh. Just like reheating frozen food in a microwave, magically! The maid exined it was a way to freeze the time of pre-cooked dishes and then release it when they were going to be eaten. There was nomon scientific sense here.
The meal was plentiful and varied, from meat to seafood. It was disyed on a side table so that I couldnt eat it all by myself. Even a showy aristocrat would struggle with such a disy of excess. Still, I ate silently and listened to the maids exnation.
The graduates range from SSS-ss to FFF-ss. And depending on their grade, the level of food, clothing, and shelter while living here will vary. In this way, private rooms are given from A-ss and up. And eating separately like this without going to a canteen is S-ss.
Even if a private room was given equally, A-ss and S-ss were said to be different. A-ss graduates rooms were at most 155 square feet, but I, an S-ss, was in the space of more than 775 square feet by myself. Of course, the quality of the furniture ced in the bedroom was also different.
tant discrimination as described!
Whats the reason?
The Hero Festival I experienced before wasnt like this. Everyone started equally as they were weed and guided by Saint H in the Great Hall of the starting city. Then why all of a sudden?
I cant tell you everything because it is confidential, but Ill just exin the information avable for an S-ss graduate. The purpose is to limit some of the dignity and autonomy of the graduates and to encourage rapid growth amid fiercepetition to prevent the graduates from declining in quality.
I see.
It seemed that there were too many deaths like Luke. Luke used to boast about being a top-ranker on Earth. However,pared to my spirits, his abilities were nothing but dust. So maybe the Chancellor also felt a sense of crisis?
Miss Maid.
Call me by a name that Graduate Student Kang Han-soo isfortable with. I am a maid who is contracted to answer your calls only.
Then Maid S.
I will be very happy if you call me Elise. This is what the servants and my friends here call me.
I decided to call the maid Elise from now on, pushing on to ask my question.
What happens if I die here? Am I going back to Earth?
I understood the purpose of the festival full of the Fantasy Gods discrimination and favoritism. But my goal was to return to Earth. Elise shook her head.
No. The grade and level will drop, and you will restart over. Graduate Student Kang Han-soo is currently in S-ss. If you die, you will be downgraded to A-ss. Then, this 775 square feet room will be seized and reissued as a 155 square feet room. Meals will also be changed to group meals, and the maid serving you also downgraded from S-ss to A-ss.
What if I keep dying?
If you die at FFF-ss, you can return to Earth. However, you will lose your abilities and be subjected to forcedbor for the length of time you have been privileged. Graduate Student Kang Han-soo will have a period of about five years.
Wait! Not three years?
My Hero career was at thirty-three years. Time there flowed ten times faster than Earth. At that rate, it would be around three years or so. But why five years?
The festival is held once every four years. And if the records I looked at are not wrong, this is the second time for Graduate Student Kang Han-soo. You lived on Earth for nearly two years.
Two years? Ah!
When I died in the Pacific Ocean on Earth, I thought I was reincarnated as a newborn baby on the Fantasy Continent. However, there seemed to have been a gap of two years. Anyway, five years of forcedbor wouldnt work. That was the exact opposite of my wish to return to Earth right now.
Suicide is not the only way.
Elise gave me a perplexed expression.
Okay. Tell me the normal way. Lets hear the purpose of the festival nned by all the faculty and staff.
You know a lot.
Im done with the chit-chat.
Please excuse me. There are two normal ways for Graduate Student Kang Han-soo to return to Earth. One ispeting with other Graduates and getting into the top five overall scores. Please look at this ticket.
Then something popped into my mind.
?1st ce: Certificate of Admission to the Secondary Curriculum, Student Council Executive Qualification
?2nd ce: Premium Holy Sword, Certificate of Admission to the Secondary Curriculum
?3rd ce: Dimensional Shift Express License by Hometown, Premium Holy Sword
?4th ce: Guardian Angel of Universal Labor, Dimensional Shift Express License by Hometown
?5th ce: Tears of the Elf King, Dimensional Shift Express License by Hometown
?Score: 0
?Ranking: 3,895
The first and second ces were train tickets to hell. I decided to ask about the other way, hoping to avoid the hassle and risk of adjusting the ranking.
What about the other one?
Elise replied with a grin.
Its by defeating the First Hero in his heyday who subjugated the Demon King Pedonar.
Chapter 147 - Dormitory No.1
Chapter 147 - Dormitory No.1
The First Hero. Senior 1sbat power, which I roughly grasped from the spirits, was at a level that could instantly destroy an entire just by flicking his finger. But that was when we talked about the real one. Based onmon sense, Senior 1, who defeated the Demon King Pedonar, cannot exist here.
Then, what can the clone do? The absurd setting of the human clone was amazing, but it was even more absurd because the ruler of the gxy, who was against the Fantasy God, was on a business trip as a teaching aid for his juniors.
How much weaker is it than the real thing?
Its the same.
Dont lie. If the First Hero had been reproduced, this ce would have been destroyed right away. And the expression heyday is also wrong. That senior who rules the gxy is still getting stronger. Eliza, tell me the truth.
Its Elise.
Dont change the subject with your name.
Forgive me. I cant tell you the exact number because its not information for S-ss, but it has the samebat power as the student council president of the secondary education course.
Its ambiguous.
How am I supposed to know thebat power of the student council president?
Im sorry.
I cant help it. So whats next?
Always wear this name tag on your left chest. It sticks like a ma, regardless of the material of the clothes.
Elise, the maid, put a license te or something on me.
[2300001-S]
Numbers and letters were embossed on a light rainbow-colored rectangr te the size of a finger. The S at the end would mean my grade. Then, what was the number in front? Elise answered as if she had read my thoughts.
It means that you are the first examinee of the 23rd curriculum. However, this is only the order in which you began training as a hero, so it doesnt affect your grades or evaluation.
What if I dont wear it?
This is also a choice. However, if you die when you arent wearing it, you cant be resurrected. While living here, it serves as a credit card and ID card, and it also has a surveince camera function, so you can get help if you are being treated unfairly.
Hmm~
It looks like I have to wear it anyway.
Think well. Among the participants of this festival, Kang Han-soo is the only S-ss graduate. Equipment is free. You can use whatever equipment you like, whether its from Fantasy or Earth. However, I guarantee that the quality is much better if you pay for it from the Festival Continent.
I know that. Next?
I will guide you through the internal facilities of the Elementary Education Center.
Am I an elementary school student at this age?
*
The ce I was in was the mens dormitory at the Elementary Education Center. But if you think that only men were crowded in there, you would be mistaken. This was because there were maids ced throughout the mens dormitory. For example, there was a canteen run by beautiful women on the first floor, alongside a barbershop, a public bath, a convenience store, a nurses office, a library, and a cafe.
But it wasnt just nice ces. There was a crampedmunal dormitory for eight people on the second basement floor and four people on the first basement floor. Of course, you cant expect windows because it was underground, and the toilet and washroom were shared. Fortunately, the cleaning was done by the maids.
Even though they were grannies.
Compared to that, the upper floors were paradise. In the second floor dormitory shared by two people, each room had a toilet and shower. The third floor was converted into a private room used by one person, with a desk and bookshelves added and a maid.
And Im on the fourth floor. With the addition of a kitchen, a living room, and a maids room to the amodation, the area was also spacious. The maids level was Grade B on the first and second floors and Grade A on the third floor.
What about the top floor?
There are additions of private swimming pools with mermaids and floating gardens managed by elves. They are all empty now, however.
Is that cool?
As a Grade S maid, I was also originally only in charge of the 5th floor. But I came down to the 4th floor because I had no work to do. So far, Graduate Student Kang Han-soo is the only person on the 4th floor.
The womens dormitory was the exact opposite. Handsome and gorgeous servants worked instead of pretty maids.
What about the tents out there?
Simple tents were gathered in the space between the mens and womens dormitories in no small number.
This is a campsite where graduates of F-ss and below live together without gender discrimination. We do not provide any support other than free meals, and it is forbidden to enter the dormitory unless it is a matter of business.
Indeed
It was tant discrimination.
Currently, the graduates are out of the dormitory to work on their scores, so it is rather quiet. The graduates grades are updated at the end of each month, and the ranking determines the ranking reward at the end of the festival. Graduate Student Kang Han-soo, do you have any other questions?
No.
I also decided to leave the dormitory.
*
There were various ways to earn points. Hunting, training, volunteering, gathering, achievement, fighting
Each graduates actions were reflected in the score. Still, it was the unchanging truth that hunting was the most generous act. The purpose of a heros existence was to punish evil.
Were looking for a healer to go hunting the two-headed mutant ogre! We will depart as soon as youe!
We are looking for B-ss or higherpanion to subdue the bizarre demon that only abducts virgins! The first two people will go with us!
Were looking for an F-sspanion to kill the corrupted slimes that live in the sewers. If sessful, you can advance to E-ss! Goodbye to the cold and hard ground!
In front of the dormitory, men and women were eager to recruitpanions. Seeing that, I clicked my tongue.
You should have leveled up at a time like that.
Inputer games, there was a limit to the growth of characters. The level was set at a maximum, and every time the equipment was updated, things with slightly better performance were released formercial purposes. This was because if an individual who boasted overwhelming strength monopolized the hunting ground, the entire server would copse altogether.
But the reality was different. There was no growth limit. In the game, developers who were ves to money set aside the user, then while doing so, they limit the level and tell them to level up the character while saying Yeah. You guys do it on your own. Ptooey!
However, suicide was the only way to put a stop to reality. You cant quit easily if you dont like it. The phrase the rich-get-richer and the poor-get-poorer wasnt a phrase that appeared out of nowhere.
Hngh?! Are you an S-ss hero?!
What theits real! The real thing has appeared!
I thought it hadnt been implemented yet?!
Those who saw my rainbow name tag made a fuss. Finally
Brother! If you have free time, please show me your skills! It would be an honor if I could join your party. Haha!
Awesome, Brother. Please let me join your party. I will never disturb you. I will stay quiet and only stir slightly at night. How is it?
Some people also secretly wanted to take advantage of me. I burst intoughter.
Sorry, my party is already full. Its already perfect.
Flutter!
As if responding to my call, Saint H, summoned into the air, slowly glided down to the ground with three pairs of wings spread out. Gracefully like a goddess. It was a spectacr performance every time I saw it. Those who saw her for the first time were overwhelmed, regardless of age or sex.
Hi-Hiplia?
Its Lady Hiplia!
My Goddess is that manspanion?
This is a nightmare! Lady Hiplia!
Like Lanuvel, the first encounter on the Fantasy Continent, no hero didnt know Saint H, who was the face of the Hero Festival. Isnt she very popr?
It seems like Im back in my hometown.
Saint H, who looked around the fussy crowd, gently closed her eyes, breathed in, and spoke with a smile.
Do you know where it is?
Yeah. I can specify your current location with administrator privileges. But with the overall remodel, so much has changed. I see a lot of things that I cannot read under my authority.
Thats too bad.
Sorry for not being of any help.
Nothing to be sorry about.
Ignoring the astonished warriors, I summoned the wings of a righteous hero and flew into the sky. After that, Saint H followed.
Master. Where are you nning to go? Even though the rivers and mountains have changed a lot due to the intervention of the faculty, this is my hometown. I can guide you to some extent.
Its not a ce. There are people I want to meet.
By any chance, are you talking about Elfheim, the third Elf King, and his daughter?
Right.
Especially that breast-loving Elf King needs to be beaten up. That cunning bastard! He pretended to confess all the information he knew to the benefactor who saved him from the bird-brained people, but in reality, it was only the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps those regretful actions were also fake.
Wellfrom what Ive seen as an administrator, it seems that he is running a human-friendly city of elves. The third Elf King, Elfheim, is apanion who followed the First Hero, but he is on a temporary hold as he does not engage in hostilities against God. The city he runs is a tourist attraction where you can learn about elves culture and traditions.
That informations convenient.
My authority has been greatly reduced since I became your possession, but first of all, I am a festival official.
The smile on Saint Hs face was unfazed as she flew side by side with me. She seemed happy to be back home.
Lets go see him right away.
Yes, I will guide you.
It didnt take that long to get to our destination, thanks to a more urate guide than apass and map. It was a pleasant journey without encountering any natives asking for help.
It was too grand to be called a city. It was a beautiful pure white castle. With the help of the spirits, everything was made of ceramic, from the sidewalk blocks to the buildings and walls. The city of elves was a sprawling piece of art. It was like a miniature of the Elf Kingdom of the Fantasy Dimension.
Is it obvious since the same person is both the King and the Mayor?
If I fly over the city walls, I could bypass the gates at the entrance to the city, but there was no need to sneak in. It would also affect my score.
?Score: 101
?Ranking: 2850
As soon as I arrived in this city, I got 50 points, and when I passed the checkpoint normally, I got an additional 50 points. Saint H exined as we were walking side by side.
The farther you explore from the dormitory, the more points you earn. Master, if only you trespassed into the city a while ago, you would have lost 50 points and be back to zero. As an administrator, I took a quick look at the rules, and it ces a lot of emphasis on the spirit of obeyingws.
Its not a problem~.
I didnt need to worry about it. As a rational citizen born on a beautiful green, Earth, I naturally obeyed thew as if breathing.
?Score: 91
?Ranking: 3016
Hmm? Why did my score drop all of a sudden?
Guessing the look on the face of that panicked security guard, its because you naturally trespassed in the city hall, Master.
Is it illegal?
The Mayor and I arent strangers! If his daughters chest had been a little less pitiful, I would be his son-inw.
Because the system doesnt even care about past rtionships.
Its not flexible at all!
Reluctantly, I returned to the entrance to City Hall and revealed the purpose of my visit.
?Score: 96
?Ranking: 2991
Then I immediately got back half of the points I lost when I trespassed into City Hall. Are you saying that self-reporting reduces penalty points? A grin came out of nowhere.
Its a really funny system.
As I agonized over this blind spot in the system, an elf woman rushed out of City Hall. Then she looked at me with a happy face and shouted.
Hero! You are back!
She was Elf K, the daughter of Boss K.
Elf K. You still look healthy. Nothing has changed since I saw you forty years ago.
Thats mean! Look carefully!
With both hands tucked across the pelvis below her ant-thin waist, Elf K gave a proud expression.
What was I supposed to see? A yellow T-shirt revealed a pretty belly button, pink hot pants that emphasized those Elf-like buttocks and thighs, two pairs of earrings on the top and bottom of the pointed earp
It was like a normal girls style on Earth.
You dont look old-fashioned.
Not my clothes. Here!
Elf K, who gave a frustrated look to me, shrugged and pressed her chest.
I know what you want to hear, but my memory isnt good enough to notice the changes in motes of dust.
Dust, you say?
The sound ofughter sounded out from beside the crying Elf K.
Hahaha! Look at it! Your dad is right, isnt he? The Hero will never be able to tell the difference- Ugh?!
Thump.
Boss K, hit by his fighter daughters elbow, fell as he grabbed his stomach.
Youre still a noisy father and daughter.
Saint H spoke, showing off her superior figure. Boss K, who copsed on the floor, raised his head, and his face suddenly became brighter.
Oh-oh! Saint! Youre still attractive and flexible as always! Im talking about the fruit hanging back there.
Hey, Boss K.
Ah! How have you been, Hero? It must have been peaceful for you to be with se-beautiful Saint like this.
I pitied Elf B, who missed this kind of husband, but I responded with a grin.
I heard you werent just in a partnership with the First Hero? You forgot about all the Relics of Chaos that you knew of. And also the details of how this senior ran away and his unique abilities.
Hahaha
The third Elf King scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
Chapter 148 - You Are an Elementary School Student
Chapter 148 - You Are an Elementary School Student
Boss K, who was urged and pressed, revealed it in detail as I requested. But he wasnt cooperative from the beginning. If he were willing to cooperate sincerely, he would have revealed it when we met before. Boss K didnt budge even when I held his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae hostage.
But
The First Hero was my friend. He caused a lot of trouble when he ran away from home in the end, but arent all men originally loyal? Haha! Right, butmy daughters future is more important than my friends. My daughter is getting oldkugh?! Anyway, its been a while.
Boss Ks eyes were sincere as he spoke yfully while clutching his stomach after receiving another blow from his daughter. They were the eyes of a father who cared about his child. As a result of putting loyalty and love on the scale, it leaned toward love.
There are a lot of elf men around, arent there?
This was a city where elves lived. Although it wasnt as huge as the Elf Kingdom of the Fantasy Continent, it was full of elves everywhere. Wasnt there a good-looking elf man among them?
Elf K answered with a pouty face.
Compared to the hero, theyre all maggots.
Elf K. Did you also get the same kind of marriage-phobia from your father?
I was just speaking objectively. There is no Elf stronger than me on this continent. Including the ex-Elf King, which I regret.
Elf K dered so confidently.
I decided to take a look at her ability, which I had inadvertently skipped over.
? Race: Chaos Elf
? Level: 999+
? Job: Shaman (Beauty Strength)
? Skills: Agility Z Chaos Z Destruction MAX Charm MAX Five Senses SS
? Status: Shy, Magic sword, Magic bullet
Herbat power increased remarkably. Two transcendental realms! As I remembered Elf Ks previous stats, I could tell she had worked hard for thest 40 years. After all, it used to be like this in the past.
? Race: Chaos Elf
? Level: 999+
? Job: Knight (Loyalty Indomitable)
? Skill: Agility SSS Five Senses SS Charm SS Indomitable SS Swordsmanship SS
? Condition: Good
I appreciated her change quite a bit. Usually, most elves didnt grow over the years. Few races wasted their eternal youth and longevity as much as the elves did. Boss K was a prime example of that.
? Race: Grand Elf
? Level: 999+
? Job: Shaman (Blessing = Spirit)
? Skill: Spirit SSS Archery SS Oblivion SS Blessing SS Patience SS
? Status: Happy
His ability had stayed the same over the years! Just looking at how he couldnt move his eyes away from Saint Hs chest while having an important conversation that would determine his daughters future revealed his normal lifestyle. Rather, it was amazing that he had maintained his skills so far.
Okay. Nothing is free in this world. But Im busy, so I cant spare you much time.
That kind of sincerity is enough. I know how low the fertility rate of elves born with inferior genes is.
My condolences to the elves who have this kind of guy as their mayor. Boss K continued.
I dont know all the Relics of Chaos, but I know how many there are in total. The First Hero wanted to love his wives fairly, so he gave each wife one. In that sense, he was quite a frustrating friend. Not all fruits hanging from a tree are desirable.
So, how many are there?
A total of thirty-two.
Thats a lot.
The relics and his wives.
Not necessarily. There were thousands of beautiful women who wanted to win the First Heros love. But if you ask me if it was a wise choice, he was an over-romanticist.
He believed that love could ovee everything, but the reality was different.
Leave out that little detail.
I understood Senior 1splicated family history to some extent through the memories held by the Relics.
Haha! I got it. Of course, he ran away from home with his unique ability. Its a unique resource we call the Power of Chaos. It is aplished by interfering with the rules set by God. Thanks to that ability, he crossed the dimensional wall that God ced.
Hoo
It seems that Thief Es im that dimensional shift could be achieved by collecting 9 Relics of Chaos was true.
Hero, you said that you would take responsibility for my daughters future, so I will risk my life to uncover the details.
Dont pass the responsibility as you please.
Haha! What a shame. I do not know the exact identity of the existence that you call Fantasy God. However, I can assure you that he is much weaker than the first Demon King inbat power. Because I nurtured a hero to defeat that Demon King.
Is that all?
I expected that much too. If thats all, Im very disappointed
Please understand that the information is out of date because Ive been locked up for a long time. Lets move on to thetest information this time. Do you know the identity of the people called teaching staff?
No.
If I had known their identity, I would have twisted everyones neck, especially the Morals Teacher.
Hero, youre summoned to thisnd every 40 years because of the Hero Festival. But I am a native here. So I was able to watch the staff prepare for the festival.
Hoo?
So who are they?
They are the wives that the First Hero loved.
*
Iy on the fluffy bed and stared nkly at the bedroom ceiling. Should I say its enlightenment beyond rage? Its because I realized that I was trapped in a barbaric fantasy world for all those years because of Senior 1s family having a breakdown. The Fantasy God who sealed the greatest enemy, the first Demon King Pedonar, didnt need to foster warriors anymore.
However, as the hero who defeated the Demon King ran away and rebelled, a new chess piece was needed. That victim was me. A good cultured citizen of the Earth had been suffering all this time because of that.
Zzzz.
Right next to me, Elf K was asleep, covered with lingering evidence that we went hard all night. It seemed that she wanted to have a baby, but unfortunately, my race was now spirit, not human. No new life could be born between a spirit and an elf. It was like a vain dream for Elf K; it was even more impossible because the elf royal familys fertility rate was extremely bad from the get-go.
?Score: 831
?Rank: 1854
I only spent one night with the unfortunate Elf mayors daughter, but somehow my score went up. Was my act of legally making an elf with two transcendental realm skills pass out so great?
This was Elf Ks room. It was too wide to be used alone, but it didnt feel spacious as it was decorated with a baby bed, baby products, and toys for a baby who didnt exist yet. And on the opposite wall
Who the hell are you?
There was a portrait of myself of a burdensome size. Elf K, who slept and woke up in this bed, seemed to start the day looking at my greasy smile every morning. Theres no way another elf man could catch her eye like this.
I got out of bed quietly. Still, Elf K didnt wake up. It was worth the trouble of beating her up all night as she was trying to tire me out.
Haha! Did you have a good night?
Boss K, wearing an apron, was cooking in the kitchen. He smiled insidiously as soon as he found me.
Do you know how to cook?
Only the basics. I can cook anything with non-poisonous ingredients. My daughter, who has picky tastes, kept me out of the kitchen after being freaked out by the stir-fried beetles, but today is special. Fufufu!
I doubt youre her parent.
I meant it from the bottom of my heart.
Haha! I think I told you before? As the elves say, a child a thousand years ago, a friendter. Weve been neighbors since two-thousand years ago.
You seem very proud.
Haha!
But youre not roasting beetles, are you?
This is a fish dish that I designed to break the prejudice that elves are vegans. Even the Mind Spirits close their eyes when ites to retrieving and eating salmon that hase up to fresh water and died from exhaustion after spawning. Ah! Salmon is a very oily fish, so it is popr with elf women who are worried about their body shape.
We sat at the table, facing each other as we ate the salmon.
Its pretty tasty, huh?
Its pretty good.
Im d it suits your taste. Ah! And with my administrator rights, Ive made several requests to you. Solving my daughters problems, ying with my annoying daughter, soothing my picky daughter, making friends with my beloved daughter, teaching my scary daughter. It must have improved your score quite a bit by now.
Its an abuse of power.
What do you mean abuse? Only when my family is peaceful can I do a good job in the City Hall. So, this is also an official job. Now, she pretends to be a decentdy in front of you, but shes terrible when shes hysterical.
Where is your conscience to leave such a daughter to me?
Haha! I believe in you, Hero!
After the meal, I asked Boss K in a serious tone.
Are there any remaining faculty staff at the festival?
My hands were always ready to slip.
There are, but they arent the faculty staff that you are looking for. They are senior teachers with heavy burdens. Dealing with the pathetic graduates is handled by the trainees and new teachers with their identities hidden. They know nothing more than me.
Hmm
If so, was Miss Trainee Teacher here too?
You seem to be thinking tooplicated. Wouldnt it be nice to get a good score and go home? I just need you to leave me a cute granddaughter before you leave.
Your lust is too obvious!
Haha! Being honest is not a bad thing. Of course, I understand your concerns. When you gain eternal life, you instinctively care about the destruction of the. Even if you have eternal life, you cannot avoid death if you lose your home.
In theory, the elf royal family lived forever until they lost their ce to live.
Its an interesting theory.
It is a fact, not a theory. The Fantasy God and the First Hero are fighting over the supremacy of the Earth, but you will be the only graduate who takes it seriously. After all, they dont have to think far into the future when the war ends.
Then?
It means that you shouldnt worry already because you are drawn to the instincts of those who have eternal life. You cant be brilliant anyway, can you? Unless you have your unique power to oppose the Fantasy God like my friend.
I smirked.
Youre talking too openly in front of this name tag.
I was informed the name tag also had a surveince camera function.
Thats fine. After all, the faculty staff also know that I am this kind of guy. Didnt I tell you a while ago? Not all of them, but there is my friends wife among the senior teachers. And it may offend you when I say this, but you are just a student in elementary school. No matter how great you are, you are an elementary school student at best.
I dont feel happy about it.
He underestimated a warrior with thirty-three years of fantasy experience. But Boss K didnt back down either.
Im sorry. But the reality is brutal. No matter what you do, all the faculty staff wont raise an eyebrow because elementary school students do not influence the trend. Even if you cant, theyll give you a nce when youre in middle school.
Is that so?
It was good news to hear. I thought the First Hero was trying to scout me, so I thought Id be great, but I guess it was just my feeling.
Boss K was right. I am nothing more than an elementary student. Aside from childish politics like cosmic supremacy, it was a hundred times more beneficial to think about how to avoid my mothers tennis racket.
Boss K. Youre right.
Thank you for your understanding.
In that sense, give me a mission so I can get a lot of points. Instead of ying with your daughter, I want to subjugate monsters.
All right. Ah! And take my daughter too. Many monsters are too difficult to kill by you alone, Hero.
Alone? Who is alone?
I summoned all the spirits. Boss K muttered as if mesmerized.
Prince Boris, the Sword Star Silerion, the Demon Hunter Artemis, and even the fantastic big-breasted angel?
Boss K. Give me a bounty on the right game here. Hey! Be quiet. Youve never seen a sorry elf king before?
My orders were absolute. The mouths of the spirits, who were surprised to see Elfheim, the third Elf King who was thought to be dead, werepletely shut. At that time, Boss K gave the wrong answer.
It seems that I underestimated you, Hero. It is the first time I have ever seen such an elementary school student.
What kind of bullsh*t are you spouting all of a sudden?
It means that the faculty staff, who are monitoring our conversation in real-time, will have taken it very seriously! They will act right away-!
Ding Dong!
The doorbell at the front door rang like thunder.
Chapter 149 - [? Round] - Interview
Chapter 149 - [? Round] - Interview
Excuse me. This is the pizza you ordered.
Pizza all of a sudden? Even in the Fantasy World, pizza existed. However, it wasnt likely that Boss K, who made dinner a little while ago, ordered it.
Isnt that a bomb disguised as a pizza?
Im afraid I cantpletely deny your assumption, Hero. I often order fruit pizza, but I dont remember ordering it today.
Safety came first. So, I asked a spirit that would be fine to kill to open the front door.
You asked me, a prince, to get a pizza?!
Dont be silly and open it right away.
Khieek-
When he opened the front door, there was indeed a pizza delivery man. However, it wasnt an outfit worn by the natives of the Fantasy World. A jacket and helmet that fits tight like a diving suit. It was of an astronaut style that could onlye out of science fiction. I was amazed, so I looked at the ability of the deliveryman and swallowed augh.
? Race: Gxy Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Deliveryman (Delivery Stamina)
? Skill: Sprint Z Stamina MAX Flight MAX Driving MAX Leap SSS
? Status: Good
The level was absurd for a deliveryman. The same went for skills, but even more surprising was the race.
? Type: Race
? Name: Gxy Human
? ss: Rare
? Rare 1: Resist the energy of the universe.
? Rare 2: Can cross beyond dimensions.
? Characteristic 1: Crossbreeding is possible.
? Characteristic 2: Survival effect is increased.
? Race 1: Excellent fertility.
? Race 2: Contains various possibilities.
No other effects were noticeable. He could cross beyond dimension? I never imagined that I could simply get what I longed for with racial traits.
It has already been paid for. Enjoy your meal.
Wait. Let me ask you one thing.
Yes, sir. Go ahead.
How do you cross dimensions?
The delivery man answered my polite question nonchntly.
I got that permission from my boss. If you ask me how to do it, I cant exin it because its as natural as breathing. Ill bete for the other deliveries, so Ill leave.
Pop!
The deliveryman became light and disappeared. It was strangely simr to when I returned.
Oh, well
But one thing was certain. The fact that an absurd astronaut was added to myplex head that had been full of only fantasy barbarians
How do I put this
Hello~
From behind, inside the house, a young woman greeted us. I didnt ask how she broke in. In the yard where the deliveryman exceeded even the dimensional wall, the house walls were nothing more than a formality.
But when did shee in? It bothered me that I hadnt noticed at all. She gave off an intelligent, feminine vibe from her outfit. Non-prescription stic frame sses, neat short hair, a gray mini skirt, ck stockings and shoes, a garter belt, a handbag made of red dragon leather
And the looks that wrapped them up. A perfect beautiful face naturally atop a perfect body. She didnt look like a person from the Fantasy World, but something more transcendent.
Who are you? Are you the wife of the First Hero?
No. The seniors are mainly in charge of higher education courses. Youve been informed about this matter, but I came out on behalf of that person since she isnt feeling well. I am the Health Teacher in the secondary education center. I am also the advisor of the student council. Okay! Shall we talk while eating pizza?
In this situation, I didnt ask about the pizza. My purpose wasnt to fight the Fantasy God but to return safely to Earth, be a good son to my parents, and regain my life as a normal citizen. Im not enough of a strong-willed warrior to sharpen my de unconditionally. Id join hands with demons if I could benefit from it.
I also looked at the Health Teachers abilities out of habit.
? Race: Ultra Angel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Teacher (Education Ability)
? Skills: Health ZZZ Immortality ZZ Healing Z Assistant Z Counterattack Z
? Status: Perfect
I could see why she introduced herself as a Health Teacher. No matter what I did, I could never kill this woman. That must be why she came out so confidently. Above all, the most important thing to be aware of was the Transcendental Realm Skill Counterattack. If she seeded in blocking the opponents attack, it had the effect of returning it multiple times over. It meant that my attacks could beat me.
And this Healthy Teacher was ready to counterattack. The skillposition and grade were something else.
Especially her race.
? Type: Race

? Myth 2: Defense is greatly increased.

The Health Teacher possessed a very deceptive race. The rating wasnt a Myth for nothing. I dont know how much that rise was numerically, but I could guess that it wasnt at a testable level just by looking at the expression greatly.
I wasnt sure if I would be able to win even by fighting with all my might. Was this the average ability of all faculty staff members? It wasnt a group of ipetent people who could only bber on. It was a different kind of power than a student.
I didnt know what Kang Han-soo would like, so I ordered it evenly~.
The Health Teacher opened the pizza boxes and moved to the table with a bright smile on her face. Should I say that it felt like counseling for bad students?
It smells amazing.
The Fantasy Continent had poor transportation and information exchange, so hoarding and monopolies were very easy. No matter how tasteless the pizza from a pizza outlet was, if there was only one in a city or town, it meant that there was an unconditional demand. Its not much different from so-called restaurants.
There was nopetition, so if you give a certain taste level, you dont get greedy anymore. But the pizza in front of me was different. This was a dish that was born amid fiercepetition. Visuals, smells, materials, harmony, science
Everything was blended perfectly. I chose one of the various types of pizza and took a bite. And I involuntarily shouted.
Ah-!
Do you like it?
The exquisitebination of savory cheese generously sprinkled on the dough and chopped bacon, tomatoes, and hot sauce to keep it from being greasythe herb sprinkled evenly on top of it is a divine move!
I was so moved that I even teared up.
You seem to like it.
I was a little embarrassed by the absurd attention. To be honest, the pizza wasnt that great. It was the universal taste of a local pizza ce sold on Earth. But it was also a taste that the indolent savages of the Fantasy World could never make. And I tasted it for the first time in decades.
I liked the drink that came with the pizza too. Unlike Coke, which had a ck color due to caramel, it was a carbonated beverage with a red color like wine. This refreshing feeling was also something that couldnt be tasted in the Fantasy Continent. It was great, except that it was non-alcoholic.
Please send me back to Earth.
After a thrilling meal, I spoke straight to the Health Teacher.
I realized this after eating pizza. The ce where my body and soul would stay was the Earth, a beautiful green that was breathtaking with soot and fine dust. After wiping the tomato sauce off her lips with a tissue, the Health Teacher touched up her makeup with the lipstick she took out of her handbag.
She replied with a slightly bitter smile.
I cant say itspletely irrelevant, but theres a process in everything. I am well aware of Kang Han-soos desire to return to Earth, but that is a matter that must be achieved entirely by yourself.
Then why?
Why did you stimte my homesickness with pizza? Dont tell me! Is it mental torture?
Torture? Of course not.
You read my mind, too.
Dont be too offended. Its like how students can see other peoples abilities without permission. Ah! Did you ask why I came here? There are two major things. About the disappearance of a student council member and the future dream of Kang Han-soo.
Im not sure about thetter, but I had no idea about the former. Ive never met a student council member, after all!
What are you talking about?
Have you ever met a middle school student from the student council at the stadium? A boy who is very good with swords.
I dont know.
If he was very good with swords, as the description said, I couldnt know.
His job is Sword God, and he has four Transcendental Realm Skills. Hes a pretty good-looking boy, even if hes not as handsome as you, Kang Han-soo. Can you think of a friend?
Aha! That trickster!
I once saw a guy in the desert who tricked me, saying he was a senior in the middle education center even though he was much weaker than an elementary school student. I remembered him because he was uglier than me.
Right. That ugly friend.
Whats wrong with him?
Nothings wrong with him. It was just reported to the Ministry of Secondary Education that Kang Han-soos life record was greatly underestimated. It is truly unique in terms ofbat power. To the extent that you can take over as the lead manager of the secondary education curriculum right now.
Youd better kill me!
Just make sure to bury my bones on Earth.
You dont have to overreact like that. Because this is only my hope as an advisor to the student council, I know that forcibly assigned students who dont like it wont give good results.
Is this all you want to say?
Thank you for the pizza, Health Teacher.
No. The problem remains when you decline this offer. What you know is clearly beyond the boundaries of the primary education curriculum. There is no doubt that traces of it remain on the Fantasy Continent, the elementary education center, but it was a situation in which I could never reach it. Especially the second ythrough. The ability to defeat the Dragon King Noebius in a month without illegal skills is still being debated.
It is thanks to meeting a good teacher.
Master Mon. Without the teachings of that great being, it would have been difficult even with the memories andbat experience of the 1st ythrough. It was a coincidence that I met Noebius, the Dragon King. Who knew I would meet an old dragon just before twilight when I was trying to eat a baby dragons experience point?
At that time, I would have been dead if Noebius hadnt kept on pawing at the air due to his presbyopia, no matter how great Master Mons teachings were. There were no strong men who could win ahead of time.
Did she read my thoughts again? The Health Teacher wore a bitter smile once more.
I also investigated the rainbow-colored slime. It was just an ordinary slime, except for the name Mon, which a vige girl gave it. Ah! It was so cute that I wanted to keep it at home. Dont make such a stern face. Even if its an investigation, its still a slime, right? I only touched its squishy skin.
Hmm
If so, thats a relief.
Anyway, the problem is that Kang Han-soo has learned too much first-ss information. Its okay for other elementary school students who enjoy the festival to know a little. Theres nothing they can do unless they go through secondary education and reach a higher level.
The evaluation is harsh, huh.
After all, one graduate of the secondary education curriculum has more influence than ten thousand graduates of the primary education curriculum. And Kang Han-soo, you are qualified for early admission into the secondary education curriculum.
Early admission?
Ive been stuck in the elementary education curriculum for thirty-three, which others graduate from in three years. They say that practice makes perfect, right? No wonder Im strong.
Because ofbat power, others receive additional education for at least a hundred years after graduating from the elementary education center. After all, you are bound to die if you start your secondary education in a weak state. By the way, Kang Han-soo has reached the minimum requirement in half that time, and you beat an experienced middle school student! This is amazing!
Huh! No matter what, I wont go.
Im not a naive hero that will fall for some sugarcoating.
All faculty staff sincerely hope that Kang Han-soo will enter the secondary education center. The elementary education curriculum, which selects young people who show certain qualities and enrolls them without notice, ispulsory, but it is different from the secondary education curriculum. We are seriously looking for people to walk with us into the future together.
I have no desire to walk together with you.
I am full of desire to beat the Moral Teacher!
Its intolerable. There are many faculty staff who are worried about talented people like Kang Han-soo going to hostile ces. To be honest, there were also radical opinions that the buds should be pruned before graduation.
I was speechless. The Health Teachers remarks were very provocative and offensive to the extent that my heart was pounding, but I had expected such retaliation from the start. Thats why I had been preparing for the time when the Fantasy God, a narrow-minded person, retrieved my abilities.
And Im ready.
The Health Teacher continued with a calm smile.
But we cant do that. Thats the act of drawing a line so that we cant be together forever. A school that removes graduates just because they might be enemies? Who will trust us then?
No retaliation?
Of course. I can promise you, never. If I were wrong, I would be your personal Health Teacher.
Hey~
I think shes sincere.
Im serious. So, think a little bit about entering the secondary education center. Although you refused special admission, if you change your mind at any time, just take first or second ce at this festival. It wouldnt be too difficult with Kang Han-soos ability.
Thats enough.
People always change their minds. Bye.
Pop!
The Health Teacher was gone as quick as she came. As soon as she put the handbag she had put down next to her on her shoulder, she disappeared. I smirked.
I will never change my- what, this?!
? Score: 10831
? Rank: 87
I didnt do anything, but my festival scores and rankings went up.
Chapter 150 [? Round] Socially Disadvantaged
Chapter 150 [? Round] Socially Disadvantaged
The culprit was nowhere to be seen. The Health Teacher gave me a whopping 10,000 points and left. I dont know how much it wasparatively, but it was important to note that my ranking jumped from 1854 to 87. All because I ate some pizza?
It was truly astonishing. But It was still fine; I didnt have to feel bad about it. Its not 1st ce, only 87th. I had to get in the Top 5 by raising my score anyway. It was a good result in terms of shortening my work.
I can control it.
The scores didnt just blindly go up. If I do something illegal, my score will go down. It will be no problem if I jump up to 2nd ce due to an inevitable mistake. Its okay if I control it.
Thinking this far, peace of mind descended on me. Lets not rush into it and take it step by step. I am a veteran, after all. Difficulties like this are nothing!
Im d you got away with it, Hero. But, as the Health Teacher warned a while ago, I will keep my mouth shut. I have to work hard to earn money to take care of my soon-to-be granddaughter.
She wont be born.
ording to thews of nature, the pregnancy rate of the elf royalty, who lived an eternal life, was miraculous. Although it wasnt absolute, the more natural enemies and short-lived a mammal were, the higher their fertility and breast development. The number of breasts increased, and so did the size. In the same context, the breasts of elf women werent at all developed.
Of course, being big doesnt directly rte to getting pregnant. After all, everyone looks different. However, this wasnt aparison between humans but rather different races. Elves were equally small. Thisw of nature was no exception to elven men. If humans things were holy spears that could pierce any shields at once, elves could bepared to crude fruit knives whose des be dull with only one or two uses.
Haha! Hero, I have seen it from the future.
What bullsh*t.
Its not bullsh*t. I had a dream of a good omenst night. A dream where a great king is born to save and guide the lowly members of the elf race with a broad mind and body. As soon as I woke up from that dream, I was craving salmon
Why do you have morning sickness?
Isnt that a sign that I am going to be a good grandfather?
Boss K made a fuss as he organized the empty pizza boxes. He was praised as the noble king of the elf race. And seeing how he naturally cleaned and washed the dishes, it didnt seem like an entirely wrong im. He was an easy-going and down-to-earth king.
A good grandfather, huh
He might be.
Im going to put my granddaughter on myp and say: Granddaughter, the day you were born, all the elves in Fantasy whispered your name.
Thats a lot of exaggerating.
I mean it. Im going to brag about her all the time. Im even nning to make sure that everyone remembers her by putting her in the oral test of Elven Civil Servants.
Thats too much!
Haha! Im not kidding.
Thats even more of a problem, you wretched elf!
I decided not to say more. Giving a scolding to Boss K, expecting a granddaughter who would never be born, would only tire me out. As time goes by, he will be disappointed and forget.
No. He would bother me again if he realized that his daughter failed to conceive. Maybe hed stick with me until he gets what he wants. Thats kind of creepy.
Right. The faculty staff will be very ufortable if we stay together. Thateven for the sake of your granddaughter, its best not to see each other. Be healthy. May the energy of the universe be with you.
Im afraid I cant help it. Peace of mind is especially important when she is pregnant. Ill try to exin it to my daughter.
Where did that confidencee fromfine.
I gave up arguing and said goodbye to Boss K. However; it was doubtful whether I would leave just like this. In front of father and daughter elves who wanted a new life like that, I couldnt say that I hoped nothing would be born, right? By any chance, even if it happened, I feel like I didnt have anything to say.
I couldnt say I didnt expect a daughter to be born. Therefore
Pop!
Concentrating my mind, I summoned the Magic Sword. The sword of Boris, the Old Prince. It was light, unlike the Holy Sword, and thanks to that, it was of great help to me before conquering the northern continent of Fantasy with my fragile infant body. In the process of summoning, the illegally designated ck Box was used for about 0.1 seconds. If I think about it in detail, even if I get 1st or 2nd ce at the festivalter, I wouldnt be bothered by the judgment that it was impossible to enter the secondary education center.
However, abuse was prohibited. After all, it can be invalidated due to the usage of illegal skills even if I get 3rd, 4th, or 5th ce. So for me, this was quite a challenge.
Oh! Is this a gift for my granddaughter? When my granddaughter grows up beautifully, I will give it to her and tell her to go find you, Hero.
Youre making me speechless.
Having omitted the cumbersome exnation, I concentrated my mind on the Magic Sword in my hand. Master Mons third teaching raised the ck Box to the Grade S, but the effect had never been used. Is it because I dont know how to use it?
No.
? Type: Skill
? Name:
? Grade: S
? SS: .
? S: Record.
? A: Confuse the target.
? B: Destroy the target.
? C: Force the target into oblivion.
? D: Removing confusion.
? E: Removing destruction.
? F: Returning from oblivion.
This is because the Grade Ss Record was a consumable ability to allow the power of the ck Box that I had in my possession to reside in things. In this way, even ordinary objects could be transformed into treasures. However, the power consumed wouldnt be restored.
S A
Still, I relentlessly poured in my strength to the point where the Grade dropped. I didnt mean to barely use it and take the credit myself. Lets get used to this feeling.
I wanted to learn the ability to empower things. The principle of using my experience to make clothes for the spirits was simr to this.
Woooooong-
The Magic Sword was engulfed in purple light.
Thats! Oh! Oh My God! The unique ability that person had!
Boss K, who immediately noticed what I was doing, was astonished and changed his yful attitude. I didnt care and went into skill analysis. Compared to the great teachings of Master Mon, it was so easy that there was no problem.
I see.
It was a matter of mind. It was important to be able to give up ones treasures for others. It was different from a hypocritical warrior. Their good deeds were limited to the resources that recovered themselves over time. Mana, magical spirit, divinity, stamina, energy, inner strength
If your limited lifespan were noticeably shortened, would you go out of your way to help someone you dont even know? Senior 1 didnt do that either. However, he gifted his powers to his beloved wives. It wasnt aplete remnant, but it was important that he secretly gave it to his wives without taking any credit for it.
The same went for me now. I poured out expendable power for my daughter, who could never be born. It wasnt my lifespan, but I had given up a certain weapon that could fight the Fantasy God. It was a foolish decision, but-
A SS
That decision was a new opportunity for me, thanks to the increased understanding and proficiency by using the sealed skill without hesitation. It was a consumable resource that didnt recover over time, after all.
It wasnt intended.
? Type: Skill
? Name:
? ss: SS
? SSS: .
? SS: Produce.
? S: Record.
However, as a result, consumption turned into persistence. Although the resource couldnt be used indefinitely, the effect of Grade SS was enough to produce a small amount of the ck Boxs power. It was a simple Grade S gateway if you knew it, but it was difficult if you didnt. I identally pierced that realm with the heart of a righteous hero.
Welllets wrap it up first.
The Old Princes Magic Sword was a lightsaber that mixed advanced science and fantasy. The basic principle was that the Magic Sword user created a de of light with his power. The greater the magic, the stronger the cutting force. Conversely, it goes without saying that you couldnt even make a kitchen knife if you were weak.
I adjusted the Magic Sword so that even a baby could use it. After all, not all babies were born strong like me.
I have to nt my attributes.
This was because if I put the power of the ck Box into this Magic Sword, it was no different from the Relics of Chaos. So I nted my abilities, using the new application method learned while using the ck Box Grade Ss skill. The original purpose was this.
My spirit attribute taught by the First Spirit was Human. Thats why it was also Human that I put into the Magic Sword. Even the student council member who was uglier than me, guaranteed by the Health Teacher, lived in my heart after bing experience points. I appointed him as a spirit.
? Race: Unique Spirit
? Level: 500
? upation: Swordsman (Swordsman = Divinity)
? Skills: Swordsmanship Z Pration Z Swordy Z Seal Z Resistance MAX
?Status: Reincarnation
It shouldnt be too strong as it was only for a newborn. So I fixed the level arbitrarily but inherited the rest of the abilities. I stuffed the spirit in that state into the Magic Sword, ignoring the intentions of the party involved.
Egoswordpleted!

The name disyed on my status has been changed from Magic to Divine Sword. Was it because the job of the spirit dwelling in the sword was Sword God? Then, like Holy Sword 3, would it be a Holy Sword if I put Hero there? Ill try itter when I get a chance.
Give it to my daughterter when she is born.
I handed the new Divine Sword that had just been made to Boss K. He answered politely, taking it carefully with both hands.
Yeah. Its never going to happen, but in case a son is born, Ill just keep it.
I didnt say thatwell, take care of it.
Having given up on scolding this nonsensical elf who had been talking nonsense from the start, I opened the front door and headed out. I slept well at the Mayors residence, and my stomach was full of pizza.
Now was the perfect time to actively enjoy the festival.
*
Before the Health Teacher gave me 10,000 points and left, Boss K, the Mayor of Elf City and the festival official, gave me a simple and easy task so that I (his son-inw) could raise my score in a short time. So it was all about bounties.
? A slut who kidnaps elf men: 250 points
? An evil dragon that only eats a diet of elves: 3600 points
?A hunter who only targets elf bachelors: 400 points
? A magician who needs dead elves: 2700 points
It was all events rted to elves since it was a city where elves lived. However, due to the low fertility rate, every one of them was a precious member of the elf race, so they were particrly sensitive to the kidnapping and murder of their people. I decided to solve the problems of the nearest city first.
Hmm. It looks very serious.
There were hardly any elf men on the streets. It was no coincidence that many human women had visited the city. Elf women with low sexual appeal tend to be safer from various crimes, but elf men that tended toward a handsome and neutral appearance had always been targeted.
What about human men? Human men in the Fantasy World full of powerful monsters were as big as goris thanks to their ability revision. They had a strong natural sex drive and a tendency to possess and dominate as many women as they could. But the elf men were just the opposite.
Their boyish atmosphere didnt change even with age, and they considered only one woman to be their mate with a sense of duty despite theirck of sexual desire. Their appearances were simr to that of a legendary warrior or a prince riding a white horse. Weak on the outside, but incredibly strong
Of course, elf men were weak without any objection, to the extent of losing a fight with a human woman who had trained her muscles through fieldwork! Therefore, they were popr prey.
Please find my missing son. Sob, sob!
My husband hasnte back sincest night.
My friend disappeared from the bar.
I cant reach my brother who promised me his future.
If you had heard these stories from Earth, you would have immediately suspected the supposedly heartbroken families. But this was the Fantasy World. It was a very difficult world for an elf man to live in.
But who am I?
Leave it to this hero!
Im a veteran hero. The colleagues from the 1st ythrough looked away from helping while saying, What? Hes a male. He will figure it out. I had been helping these socially disadvantaged people who have been stabbed by indifference. Not all men were strong, and human standards shouldnt be imposed on elves.
Lets just get fifth ce.
Being a detective, I started a full-scale investigation. It would take some time as there were only one million spirits to cooperate with, but the universes energy would take care of the shorings.
Chapter 151 - [? Round] Baby vs. Adult
Chapter 151 - [? Round] Baby vs. Adult
The score seems to be increasing too well.
Maybe it was just my feeling. In the process of investigating, my festival scores improved quickly. Whenever the spirits mobilized to find the missing elf men, regardless of the action, it was recorded as my achievement. Yet, they didnt do much in particr.
Breaking windows with strong winds and sneaking in? Digging a tunnel in a basement? Although they caused more inconvenience than help, the spirits cleverly escaped by pretending to be innocent like naughty kids. Rather than frowning, the victims smiled instead, and a miracle urred in that the score didnt go down but rose.
This city was home to elves who were favorable to spirits, and that also yed a major role.
? Score: 11354
? Ranking: 79
I was 86th ce in the morning, but I jumped to 79th ce while eating lunch at a restaurant to relieve my fatigue from the investigation. How did this happen?
I couldnt stop what I was doing. I headed to the kidnappers hideout discovered by a million spirits. Did she think no one would ever find this ce? No defenses were put up other than a crude trap. Moreover, my luck skill was Grade S. An awkward trap posed no threat to me. Even if I didnt try to avoid it, it wouldnt affect me.
I heard a voice from inside.
From now on, call me Queen. Understand?
Behind it, the arrogant voice of a woman was followed by various responses from men.
I have someone who promised me our future.
Dont do this. I have a wife at home.
Why are you doing such an uncivilized thing?
There was nothing more to hear.
Bang!
I raided the site, kicking down the solid iron door. Handsome men, whose hands and feet were tied,id on the floor in a row, like piano keys, with their pants and underwear down. And there was a woman in front of them. It was better not to spread prejudice that the evil woman was a great beauty or an ugly old woman.
She was a human woman who could be seen anywhere. Her body and face were extremely ordinary. Yet, at a level, she would asionally hearpliments that she was cute when she smiled broadly.
W-who- huh?! A real hero?!
The woman was surprised to see me.
Hmm. Youre not so bad to immediately recognize me as a hero.
About that, your name tag
Ah! Right.
I forgot that I had a name tag from the dormitory. I felt good because it was rare for someone to recognize that their opponent was a hero before I introduced myself, but I returned to my original state at once.
The kidnapper spoke again.
An S-ss
She immediately recognized the meaning of the rainbow-colored name tag. I am the only S-ss hero on the Festival Continent! This time, knowingly, a smile was drawn on my lips. It meant my long career wasnt in vain. I was a little bit proud.
Right! I am the only S-ss warrior on this continent! So you should think that It is an honor to have a private audience with me like this.
Yes. I know it is an honor for me, and I surrender. Sob, sob!
Hmm?
I was preparing to suppress her by giving her a herniated disc from this day forward, but I stopped because the woman suddenly burst into tears.
What did I do to make you cry?
You are an S-ss hero. It was my wish to have a conversation with a real hero at such a close distance. Sob, sob! Even if I die now, I have no more regrets.
The arrogant self-proimed queen in front of the elf men had just disappeared. Now there was only the woman who could be seen anywhere. The reason why a normal personmits a crime wasntplicated. If youck in appearance, you will speak ill of others. If youck money, you will steal. If youck strength, you will use violence. If youck women, you will go to the mill. If youck men
Its usually like this.
Really?
Crack.
There would be noints because she said she had no regrets if she died now. The woman did a beautiful turn as she fell like a broken doll.
? Score: 11504
? Ranking: 78
I got 250 points as a bounty. However, I wasnt convinced that I could leave like this.
Thank you! Hero!
Im alive! Im alive!
I believed you woulde, hero!
I thought I was going to die like this!
The elf men, still lying on the floor with their arms and legs tied, started to thank me. I also repaid them.
Argh?!
Ugh-!
Uhugh?!
Kuargh!
I gave them each a herniated disc as a gift. Then, instead of stimting directly between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae in the lower back, I kicked their nks quite far from the spine. As the esoteric exnation suggested, it was a difficult skill that only a master beyond a certain level could do.
Think of it as an honor!
I spoke solemnly, ncing at them in turn as they whined.
The kidnapper bitch is indeed a problem, but the seducer is also at fault. Think of this heros advice whenever your back hurts in the future.
And I turned around without hesitation. The annoying and cumbersome cleaning of the scene would be taken care of in the City Hall.
? Score: 11304
? Ranking: 80
My score went down by attacking the citizens who were legally just victims, but I didnt care. If those elves remembered even a little bit of my adviceter in their lives, they would have less to grieve about.
Crack! Snap! Whing! p! Sling!
Earth, fire, wind, water, and mind. The five spirits whispered to me the location of the other kidnappers. There seemed to be no time to rx and rest today. The level of the kidnappers was almost the same, so the time taken to search for them was simr.
What are the other heroes doing? Tsk, tsk.
Although it was apetitive rtionship for ranking, the current situation in whichpetition itself wasnt possible was no good. Cant I enjoy the festival properly? I wish they tried a little bit harder. With that hope in my heart, I diligently beat my feet to meet the second kidnapper.
And then, again and again
Threat D Threat A
Punishment E Punishment C
Deception F Deception B
In the process of rescuing the elves, a skill proficiency that I didnt expect at all rose steadily. I was surprised to see that only the things that I didnt care about went up.
*
Afterpletely clearing out the ignorant and weak kidnappers in Elf City, I immediately moved to collect the bounty. I only earned a few points by solving the problems inside the city. Though, that was because I lost quite a few points by punishing the kidnappers and the kidnapped elves.
But I wasnt disappointed. These results were expected from the beginning.
Thats enough if I collect the scores from now on.
Monster suppression: it was an achievement recognized even by foolish fantasy natives. Among the missions received from Boss K, all tasks within the city had beenpleted, and now only the bounty for hunting monsters outside was left. Of course, that was also my specialty.
First, lets catch the evil dragon who is on a diet.
With a slight exaggeration, the elf race, which was little more than only skin and bones, had fewer calories even when eaten whole. Thus, they were popr among monsters as a diet food that reced humans that were generally rich in fat and protein.
A monster that only eats little elves. Just looking at this, it sounded like ame monster that preyed on the weak, but you would be turned into its snack if you underestimated it. Think about being on a diet. Arent you starving because you have nothing to eat? The same went for monsters.
It was too strong to have any natural enemies, so it ate too much, and thats why it was now on a diet. Obesity was the source of all illnesses, after all. That means the monster that only ate elves was very strong.
It would be particrly dangerous when it was on a strict diet. For example, what would happen if you put a whole chicken in front of someone on a diet?
Goooooool!
That person would be pretty pissed off. And to consume the delicious, whole chicken, that person would demonstrate superior abilities. Id say I heard it described before as ravenousness!
Though Im sure Ill regret it right after eating.
Its too strong! We need at least twenty men, not five
Hey, this is too much! Retreat!
What a healthy diet dragon!
Go away! I dont have anything to eat- hey?!
This was at a hill a little distance away from Elf City. Five humans were fighting fiercely against a golden dragon. However, the oue was already decided. Judging from the clean clothes of the humans, it seemed that the battle had just begun.
The golden dragon was massive. It was about the same size as the beloved Dragon King Noebiuss palm. But how about itsbat power?
Gooooo-!
A beam of golden brilliance fired in a straight line from its wide-open snout. Dragons Breath. The golden dragons attribute was light. Although it had the narrowest range of breath among all dragons, it possessed the best speed and uracy.
Kugh-?!
One man predicted the attack in advance and quickly raised a shield to block the Dragons Breath but promptly screamed. The light pierced through his shield and even his armor. The beautiful youngdy who was running right next to him stopped and shouted some addedmentary.
The specially ordered mirror shield!
The warriors, who had obtained information in advance that the evil dragon was a golden dragon, had prepared to block it by reflecting the light. Their judgment wasnt bad; it alsoplimented their abilities.
? Race: Arch Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Priestess (Beauty Healing)
? Skill: Healing SSS Charm SS Stamina S Divinity S Cooking A
? Status: Panic, Confusion, Enhanced, Blessed
The priestessdy, who kindlymented, quickly began to heal her fallen shield friend. However, the evil dragon, tired of dieting, was faster. The golden dragon, which descended with a sleek movement unsuitable for its chubby size, snatched the man up into its mouth.
Chomp!
It chewed and swallowed the armored man whole. It was a sight that represented how stressful his diet had been. This was because if it swallowed the finest equipment that wouldnt even melt in a dragons stomach acid, it would suffer from hemorrhoids and stomach pain for a while.
Dragons withmon sense were usually careful in peeling their prey before eating. And the more noble dragons didnt consume anything, including humans. For them, eating was like alcohol and tobo.
I tried to pull out the Holy Sword Nucleon and the spirits.
This might be a good opportunity, Green Cake.
When it came to his size or age, Green Cake was at a disadvantage to that evil dragon in every way, but children originally grew by being beaten. The dragon came immediately when summoned. Saint H, his trainer, was a bonus.
Greeeeee!
Goool-?!
The green dragon let out a powerful roar. The golden dragon was engulfed in embarrassment instead of anger. The reason was
That guy, when did he grow up like that?
Green Cake, whose race was still Hatchling (Baby Dragon), was about one head taller than the evil dragon, which was an adult Dragon. Saint H exined.
Master, dont you remember? We had a barbecuest time.
I remember, but
Even if you absorbed 100% of the meat you ate, you usually wouldnt grow to that size. The growth of children was truly magical.
Bang! Thud!
Green and gold collided in the sky. I thought that Green Cake would be beaten unterally
Gree!
Goooool~~?!
The golden dragons head turned around after being hit by Green Cakes tail. Then it plummeted out of the air.
Kwang-!
Did it lose energy due to its diet?
An adult lost to a baby. I might have to reconsider the idea that a monster on a diet was strong.
Chapter 152 - [? Episode] It’s Been a Long Time!
Chapter 152 - [? Episode] Its Been a Long Time!
Gooooool~!
Losing to a baby wasnt enough to make it surrender. Judging itself to be at a disadvantage, the golden dragon gave up fighting and fled. It was very fast, just like its light attribute. Of course, this was also rtive.
Greee~
The green dragon raised his head and let out a triumphant roar.
Hey. You have to chase and bite its neck. Why are you saying goodbye?
G-Greeeee?
Sigh! Its still a long way from bing a dignified Demon Dragon.
I quickly summoned the Holy Sword Nucleon, the wings of a righteous hero formed on my back. It was pretty quick, but I would track it down even now and finish it-
? Score: 15304
? Ranking: 68
I was about to go, but I stopped. Its because my score went up just by chasing the elf-eating evil dragon. If I were me in the past, I would have somehow tracked it and converted it into experience points, but now I couldnt help but pay attention to the festival score. The problem was that it climbed so well, even if I set aside the score given by the Health Teacher.
It was still a long way from the end of the festival, but in doing so, I would end up being dragged into the secondary education curriculum with an overwhelming first ce.
The score goes up just by breathing
So it was very difficult. Until this morning, I thought I was pretty rxed. If the score went up, I couldmit an illegal act and drop it again. This was the normal flow. However, I had experienced several skips forward. There were several asions when time flew by between those shortcuts, so it was possible I wouldnt have time to drop it. So lets be careful!
Therethank you for saving me.
I lived thanks to you!
Phew! I thought I was going to fall to C-ss!
Oh My God! S-ss?! Is this for real?!
The shield warrior who fought the most earnestly went into the dragons stomach, but the remaining four survived through his sacrifice. As they thanked me, their jaws dropped when they saw the rainbow-colored name tag. They should be shocked. The name tags of the warriors in this party were silver, meaning B-ss.
The Top 30 were said to be A-ss, whose name tags were golden, so the festival score rankings of this party would be simr to mine. Then, so what? Im not interested in anything other than how to get back to Earth.
B-ss friends, good luck.
I waved my hand like I was shooing away a fly. But these flies didnt give up easily and followed me around. Then, they looked closely at my abilities.
Your race is unique, a spirit?
Look at the skills of the apanying Saint and Dragon.
Ugh! There are so many Grade Z skills!
Its awesome! Its real, the heaven above A-ss!
Their praise didntfort me at all. These are the people who had been living the lives of citizens in my beautiful home while I had spent decades in the Fantasy World. It was a very simple matter. Would you like to go back a thousand years and be a king who squats on a golden pot every morning?
Or would you like to be a citizen of modern culture who used ceramic flush toilets and bidets? Is it all only about the toilet? Air conditioners, boilers, refrigerators,puters, mobile phones
I can be sure that they lived a much morefortable life than any great man in the history books. In other words, their praise only sounded sarcastic to me.
Why do you keep following me?
I could ride on Green Cake or fly directly, but I decided to walk because it would seem like I was running away. The young man who seemed to be the leader of this B-ss party answered with a smile.
We want to watch and learn. Ah! We forgot to introduce ourselves first! Since we are quite famous, we have a habit of skipping introductionshmmmm. Im the leader of Silver Star, the 13th ce party at the festival
I see. B-ss star friends. Lets meet again when you reach the 3rd ce party.
My name is
Including that.
I didnt want to have a long conversation with them because the fact that I had been trapped in the world of Fantasy might be exposed. That alone must be avoided.
Wait a minute.
Hey. B-ss.
Thats true that Im a B-ssbut its very upsetting to hear that from Mr. Number 1, who is an S-ss heavenly figure
Do you know Factoria?
Factoria?
She is a human mage living in the Pacific Ocean. She pretends to be smart while bragging about being rich. She looks like shes in her early 20s, but I dont know if thats her real age.
I couldnt remember Factorias appearance very well. Was she a ssic foreigner beauty? Human women in the Fantasy World born under parents whose abilities had been corrected were generally beautiful. I saw so many beauties at Factorias level that her appearance was blurry.
Of course, I also had some clear memories. Lanuvel, Sylvia, Aqua. At the beginning of the 1st ythrough, the three people I met still lingered in my mind as a model of beauty representing the three races (human, elf, and mermaid). So, their names were memorized naturally. But other than that?
Perhapsare you talking about President Victoria?
Who is that?
Mr. Number 1, you asked the question yourself, buta mage and a rich woman. The personal information you mentioned doesnt help because only rich and smart people can do magic in the first ce, but only a few famous ones live in the Pacific Ocean. And the name Factoria also sounds familiar.
I think thats right.
Victoria. I must cover her mouth. If theres one mistake I had inadvertently made on Earth, its that I gave my golem to the mermaid who entrusted her protection to Victoria. At the time, I thought it was a pretty good deal. However, after seeing Lukes mass-produced golem, I changed my mind. The golem infused with the spirit of a hero knew that I had stayed in the Fantasy World for a long time.
This information must have been passed on to her. And if she had the intelligence, she would have noticed that my family rtionships were fundamental and that I was missing for five years.
Mr. Number 1. How are you so strong?
The lowly B-ss fellows were persistently following me. They seemed to be trying to prolong this meeting and find even a small chance at growth.
My question first.
Ah! Yes. I have no idea who Factoria is, but if its President Victoria, shes at the top list of A-ss heroes, and shes a strong candidate for 1st ce. But theres been a lot of rumors that shes been losing a factional fight in the womens dormitory recently.
You bring up many useless things, huh?
The point is, she also participated in this festival, right?
Please answer my question this time.
Question? What did you say?
I asked you how you were so strong.
Look at my abilities. How can I be weak?
It was obvious for me to be strong.
? Race: Natural Spirit
? Level: 999+
? Job: Monarch (Subordinate Almighty)
? Skills: Annihtion MAX Love MAX Friendship MAX Hope MAX Flight MAX
? Status: Holy Sword, Saintess
If the ck Box was activated, the sealed Transcendence Realm Skills were added, and those abilities be even more spectacr. Still, the current level of the skill was sufficient. Although it was a little weakpared to that Health Teacher.
How do you get those abilities?
Its simple.
Ugh! Are you telling us the secret too?!
Its simple, after all.
I stayed for over thirty years in the Fantasy World, where others graduated in three. So thats why Im strong. But I dont think thats all. When I lived on Earth, I was a normal high school student who wasnt particrly good at studying or athletic, but I lived desperately in the Fantasy Continent. All to go back to my hometown.
I am busy. I wont say it twice, so listen carefully.
Yes!
The lowly B-ss fellows ears perked.
While my colleaguesughed and chatted, I trained and hunted. When others cowardly fought in a group, I fought fairly and squarely alone. Look back on your days. How much time are you active during the day? Then when it gets hard, you just give up, right? Dont get me wrong. Ive given up on borrowing the strength of my colleagues. A hero doesnt need love and friendship. Its only a poison that makes you weak.
You said so, but both your love and friendship are MAX?
Love and friendship? I didnt raise it because I wanted to. When I was on the Fantasy Continent, I was sexually harassed by spirits all day, and they automatically became MAX level.
This is because of my racial characteristics.
Ah, right.
But these lowly B-ss fellows didnt seem to believe me. They seemed to think that I was teaching them misinformation to reduce mypetitors. It was amazing.
If you dont want to believe it, thats fine.
However, this misunderstanding wasnt that bad. This was because they left without any regrets. After all, they thought they would get nothing from me other than wrong information. I immediately carried out the next bounty mission, firmly punishing the pervert who proudly shouted in front of me, t is justice!
Very thoroughly. This was because he had a high probability of developing into a child sex offender. The pervert manipted the dead body of elf women, dressing them in very humiliating outfits. He bragged about it, saying that his dream was to have a harem partyposed of beautiful women like the legendary hero.
Does it mean that it doesnt matter if its a dead body as long as its beautiful? If he had known what happened to that heroter, he wouldnt have had such a vain dream
What a waste of talent.
It would have been a good fight if he had controlled the corpse of a powerful monster or warrior instead of the unfortunate elves.
The pervert whom I scoldedughed out loud in reply.
Haha! You dont know women very well!
Me?
I summoned women from my pocket one after another. Saint H, Spirit C, Spirit D.
T-this cant be!
Seeing them, the pervert went speechless and sank to the floor. He was staring up at the cliff of the Exorcist Elf, standing between the two angels who swayed every time they moved. Spirit C, who was noticing the pervert, spoke.
Hey, Master? Can I take care of him?
As you please.
The pervert wasnt a demon, but this elf, who had be ufortable with his appearance, punished him thoroughly like a heretic inquisitor. Respect your tastes?
The trend always wins.
*
Afterpleting all the missions I received from Elf City, I returned to the dorm. I thought it would be okay to sleep in an inn in a city or vige, but the Mayor, an official with administrator rights, was a really special case. All the heroes were supposed to sleep in the dormitory. If I didnt get permission from the dormitory by saying, For this reason, I need to sleep outside today, penalty points would be applied to my grade.
I, who didnt want to fall from S-ss to A-ss warrior, was no exception because the quality of amodation between S-ss and A-ss was very different.
What a shabby ce.
I nced around the A-ss amodation and expressed my appreciation.
The first thing you say when you break into adys room in the middle of the nightit suits you, Kang Han-soo.
The owner of the room, who I thought was sleeping soundly, opened her eyes and answered.
Its been a while, Factoria.
Its Victoria. After all, you survived the explosion, huh
Does she like to sleep with her underwear off? There was nothing on the shoulders and neck of the beautiful woman who had hastily covered her breasts with a nket.
Its been a while, Mage A.
You may call me whatever else you want, but please not thatme name! I think Id rather leave the world early than be called it
Thats none of my business.
Its been a while since we metoh! But Kang Han-soo. How did you get in here?
Was this woman still half asleep? She asked a very trivial question.
I came in without permission. Are you stupid?
I know that! No, thats not what I meant, Im not stupid! So please remove that pathetic look from your face! I mean, how could an unauthorized gentleman enter the womens dormitory without being caught?
Of course, I took off the name tag to avoid getting caught?
Factoria repeated only the obvious questions from before. How stupid were the heroes who believed this woman was smart? I couldnt imagine it.
What about all the dorm traps and surveince?
Is there such a thing?
It was so crude that I almost burst outughing.
Okay, so whats going on? Dont tell meyou want to make a baby with me?
Stop saying terrible things.
I answered with a straight face.
Then what are you doing secretly barging in at this hour?
I need information from the Earth. And I have a present for you.
I took the second prototype out of my pocket following the new sword made with the ck Box Grade Ss effect. It was a medium that connected the world of Fantasy and Earth.
The more insurance, the better.
Chapter 153 [? Round] You Can’t!
Chapter 153 [? Round] You Cant!
Present? Wow! Thats a pretty bracelet, but I think its too wide to be called feminine. Ah! Does it have a control function?
No.
Why would I use such a troublesome thing?
Mr. Kang Han-soothanks for the present, but take a look at my wrist. I dont like to be called vulnerable, but I have to say it in front of you. How could such arge bracelet fit on this slender wrist?!
This is an anklet.
I immediately corrected her misunderstanding. When I robbed the treasure trove of the bird-brain, I picked one that was easy to carry from among the ornaments I found. That was this anklet. Socks and stockings were more familiar on Earth, but the angels, the majority of exhibitionists, wore these ornaments.
Okay, turn around.
Why?
Are you asking because you dont know?
Im asking because I know. Youre going to ambush me when I turn around, right?
Thatspletely wrong! I mean, you should turn around while I get dressed. Think of it asmon sense. Do I have any grudge against you? How could you imagine an ambush in this situation
Hey, Factoria. Whats wrong with mymon sense?
I am perfectly normal. I snuck into the womens dormitory and ran into a naked woman. If this were the Earth, she would have screamed and called the police as soon as she found me here. But this fantasy bedroom was perfectly soundproofed. There were also no cell phones, so she couldnt call for help.
What was this womans reaction in this case? First, attacking the intruder after reducing his vignce. Because when the man who saw her naked body died, it was as if no one had seen it. Certainly, there wasnt a potbelly cleverly hidden under her clothing.
I dont have a potbelly!
Its just an example. So why are you upset?
Ugh
You dont have to worry about getting dressed. You just have to answer what Im asking while youre covered in that nket.
Information about Earth?
Yeah.
She seems to have woken up a bit now. Factoria, who gave up on her clothes and stuck her face out of the nket, began to speak calmly.
Your parents are doing fine.
I was relieved to hear that. However, I hadnt even started asking any specific questions yet, so I couldntugh at Factorias ability to anticipate my thoughts.
Youre not trying to do anything, right?
I didnt! I dont want you to have a grudge against me, after all! I was just curious about what kind of people your parents were, so I did a little research. Ah! Dont worry about it. I researched on my own without hiring anyone.
Right
You should thank me.
Thank you for informing me that my parents are safe.
I frankly bowed my head and expressed my gratitude. How surprised was I to hear that the city was destroyed by an alien invasion in the 9th ythrough? Im relieved now.
What do you mean thank you?
What? Why are you making a face like youve witnessed a miracle.
Its indeed a miracle. I didnt expect you to say thank you.
I am a hero.
Im not an asshole who bites the hand that feeds him.
In that sense, Im a hero, too. Im not shameless enough to just tell you about your parents and be thanked. Instead, I told them that youve been working for mypany since you went missing about five years ago.
Im screwed.
You said that I hadnt shown my nose in five years because I was too busy with work? My mothers tennis racket wont forgive me. It didnt help me; it just made things moreplicated.
Dont worry too much. I convinced them well.
You?
Yes, theres a saying. If youre going to lie, mix in the truth a little. Kang Han-soo, you may not know, but the social structure and peoples consciousness have changed as more people have been to the Fantasy Continent.
People who treated the supernatural as fake now began to admit it. This is what she was saying.
Do my parents believe that?
As I said, they didnt believe it at first, but they agreed when I showed them some simple magic.
Hmm
Is there anything else you want to know?
No.
I had a rough idea of the situation on Earth. It was because I had heard everything from the most recently captured Old Angel. The first hero who ran away and established a country wanted to prevent more victims like him from appearing to prevent the Fantasy Gods power from growing stronger.
So, the invasion of Earth started, but it wasnt aggressive. This was because the Earth is strongly stimted, the hostility of the natives (Earthlings) increased, and the number of applicants for the fantasy elementary education curriculum increased as well.
It was still increasing even now. So I heard they were looking for other measures.
I also got quite a bit of information about Prince Boriss beloved wife, the Mermaid Lady. Fufufu! To brag a little, my position as the only foreign prisoner of war is very high.
I suppose so.
For me, it was nothing but annoying. The only prisoner? At that time, I could have captured more members of Boriss harem if I wanted to. I just didnt do it because I waszy. Factoria began to unravel other small stories. She researched the Golem D that was handed over to her and made a mass-produced android, and through it, gained enormous wealth and fame
I dont know if I can tell you aplicated story. The society and economy sses I know stopped in middle school.
It looks like youre more of a natural science and engineering person.
You are?
I learned evenly without distinction. But if I had to judge which one was more helpful, I would say that it was humanities. The natives of the Fantasy Continent were pure, and I could convince them with just a little bit of the truth.
Our conversation continued. Then it came back to the first subject.
This is no ordinary anklet. Instead, it looks like a great treasure with an angels blessing on it. Is there any hidden feature that I am not aware of?
Yes.
Really?!
But it is currently inactive. So if you defeat a human with a Transcendental Realm Skill, you can turn him into a spirit. Just like this.
I summoned the spirits. In the past, they only wore sesame leaf-shaped underwear, but after seeing the transformation during the day, I changed them into decent outfits. It was because when I saw the corpses dressed in strange outfits, I felt, This guy is an irredeemable pervert!
There was no way I could look at them.
All of them are alien executives?
Factoria, who saw the abilities of my spirits, went speechless. She was so surprised that she threw the nket back and lifted her upper body. She seemed to have forgotten that she was currently naked.
Do you know the value of the anklet now?
Thank you very much!
Im done with my business, so Im leaving.
Ah! Wait! Since youve helped me before, could you help me one more time? Ill make sure to pay the price on Earth.
No, I dont want to.
Its not that difficult. And its not a bad suggestion for you either. Wouldnt it be nice if the son who returned home after five years gave his parents a 3,558 square feet house and a luxury foreign car as a gift?
Huh! I can do that for myself.
I snorted. If I sell just one piece of the angels equipment in my warehouse right now, I could make as much money as I want.
Isnt that bothersome?
Do you think helping you isnt bothersome?
Is it bothersome to hold hands with a pretty girl and stare at her breasts and ass with wolf-like eyes?
Thats instinct.
I didnt know why she was talking about this all of a sudden. Factoria continued, however.
Please be my boyfriend.
*
As I heard from a B-ss star friend I saved from a dieting evil dragon, the female dormitory was divided into three factions: straight, lesbian, and misfit. I was at the scene of that strange factions fight.
Why do sexual preferences need factions? I wish someone could exin it a bit more scientifically.
Oh, my! Victoria. I was wondering why the female fox hiding in the burrow came out. It turned out that you brought a dirty male into the dormitory, huh?
Catherine, listen. My friends gender doesnt matter. Its all about how strong he is on the hunt.
The only S-ss
Fufu! How does it feel to be weaker than the males you hate?
After separating with Factoria after receiving her bizarre request, I received an invitation in the morning and came back under the formal procedures. Now I was on the third floor of the womens dormitory, watching two women growling at each other.
Of course, they werent alone. There were many women behind the beauties representing the two factions. But the scale was tilted to one side. I was a little surprised. I didnt know there were so many lesbians on Earth.
Huh! Would you even give your ass to a good-looking male?
As expected, youre crooked. Hes not a man; hes a friend.
That is sophistry! A male is still a male.
It doesnt make sense. Do you guys have the same thoughts as Catherine?
Why did Ie here? There was no one to answer that question, not even Factoria. If the great Master Mon had been by my side, he would have given me a simple and clear answer while taunting me. His absence couldnt be helped, though. So this was a question I had to figure out on my own.
Hey,dies. There is no point in such empty talk. How can we conclude by fighting all day with our tongues?
I jumped into the conversation with such banter, and I was startled.
Oh, my God!
Its because the Holy Sword Nucleon, which I just summoned to intimidate them, slipped out of my hand. Last night my Grade S maid, Elise, must have put on too much oil while massaging my body. So this wasnt my fault.
Bwoong- aaash!
The Holy Sword that flew horizontally as a boomerang swept away all obstacles in front of it.
Kyaaaaaah?!
W-what the hell-?
Heck?!
Half of the corridor on the third floor of the womens dormitory, beautifully decorated with art, was instantly dyed with red. It would take a long time to clean, but at least the noise pollution had disappeared.
Zhiiiiing-
Factoria. I havent heard it yet, but what can I do to help?
I dont think you have to help.
Really? But dont forget. Even if I didnt do anything, my travel expenses are high.
Even if you use public transportation because you change your mind after calling a chauffeur service, you have to pay for his trip. The same went for me.
Yeah! I will never forget it!
Factoria nodded eagerly.
And please rmend someone from the A-ss. I only want to get a fifth ce at the Festival. I originally nned to hire four people from the male dormitory, but I changed my mind a while ago. Because Im a fair hero.
Four people? Ah!
Two men, two women. I decided to share equally. It was also very stupid that the ranking was divided by gender rather than abilities.
For example, four female students scored 100, 99, 98, and 97 points. And lets say four boys got 70, 69, 68, and 67 points. But lets be fair
The 1st ce: 100 points
The 2nd ce: 70 points
The 3rd ce: 99 points
The 4th ce: 69 points
Should I do it this way? It was still a simr situation to this ridiculous example. The girls who couldnt stop the Holy Sword that slipped from my hands wore A-ss name tags. This may be a serious issue of fairness.
Please rmend only two decent girls other than you. Ill push them hard.
Why cant I?
For the sake of fairness.
Thats never going to happen! So I gave Factoria an anklet to naturally send the medium imbued with my unique abilities to Earth. But what if she attended the secondary education center? She would go through secondary education regardless of her rank.
I didnt offer because it felt like teaching a fish how to swim. But Im currently the first ce among the girls and second ce overall.
Then give me the anklet!
I dont want to! Id rather kill- no, I wont give it anyway! What in the hell is a man who steals the thing that he had given away?!
Here he is! If you want the anklet, you cant. Got it?
Chapter 154 - [? Round] Here Comes the Demon King!
Chapter 154 - [? Round] Here Comes the Demon King!
Factoria, whose eyes narrowed in a crescent moon shape at my insistence, responded with a nasal sound.
Hmm~ Did you want to go to Earth with me?
What?
The nuance of her words was strangely unpleasant. Its like when you walk side by side with a student when you go home after school. There is only one road, so theres no choice. Imagine that there is only one express bus going down to your hometown every day, and your ssmate is ttered about going home with you.
Its annoying.
Fufu! You cant be honest.
Factorias spine beckoned me, but I endured with superhuman patience. It was easy for me to take the anklet from her. But the problem was that there was no one else to give it to. This was a handmade product, not a mass-manufactured product. It required delicate processing with ck Box that gathered together with my unique abilities. In other words, it was a waste to give it to a stranger.
Okay. I wanted to be strong enough to not be defeated by aliens through the secondary education curriculum, but I changed my mind after seeing the lifesaver Kang Han-soo. Lets go back to Earth together. Fufufu?
Yeah.
People had to be patient. Lets think about it after we get back to Earth safely. Until then, I decided to leave Factoria alone with whatever misunderstanding she had. After all, my purpose wasnt to have a scuffle with her. The first was the Earth. The second was the Earth.
The Hero Festival was held once every four years. If you stayed only on the Fantasy Continent like me, it would be held every forty years. In the past, the festival was quite free. If you die on the way or shout I give up!, you could return to Earth. But now?
This is a retest disguised as a festival. Its the same as a drivers license. Its not a one-time win; its a periodic check to see if youre qualified.
I know.
This wait for the festival was twenty years, but the actual festivalsted for only two. The 1st and 2nd ce went to the secondary education center, and the 3rd through 5th ces could return to Earth early.
And what about the rest? Those who didnt make it into the top five would live on this Festival Continent for twenty years while receiving tant discrimination based on their grade. In other words, its a terrible festival.
Kang Han-soo, prejudice isnt good. Some friends give up the ranking early and enjoy it.
I dont know about it yet.
This festival wasnt a short, enjoyable trip. No matter how good an amusement park was, its only entertaining for a few days. If you stay there, you will be sick of it. What about for twenty years? Reflecting on my first experience, I would be crazy in ten. In that sense, even the 1st and 2nd ce couldnt do anything.
Its because you dont know. Some people are physically fit for the Fantasy World.
They just dont know yet.
This ce would never be as beautiful as in fantasy novels or cartoons. The limbs were lopped off, and the intestines protruded. Was it good living for the strong? Unfortunately, in this world, there were stronger people on top of the strong. It was different from the rich on top of the rich.
You couldnt get help from the country w) here.
Earth is the same
What?
It was the same everywhere in the world. More than that, arent you hungry? Ill buy it outside if I can, but the food level in this dormitory is better than it is in 5-star hotels and restaurants.
But Im a man?
And this was a womens dormitory. Factoria grabbed my hand and dragged me as if to run away from the bloody scene.
30% are already men, so what?
Handsome servants in ck suits looking like celebrities, actors, and singers started cleaning the hallway on the third floor. There werent only humans, with there being a very high percentage of elves among the servants. It was unimaginable even in the closed Elf Kingdom of the Fantasy Continent.
But it didnt make sense to me.
Those women just now. Didnt they hate men?
A filthy male is cleaning my room! Change him into a maid right now! I guess they would have to argue like this
The servants who work here are an exception.
Hmm
Had the culture of the Earth changed in the five years without me? Or was this dormitory, where only social misfits gathered, strange? Factoria shook her head.
Dont think too hard about it. Itll just hurt your head.
I received attention wherever I went. Because Im a man? No.
Look over there. Its the S-ss!
Oh my! Was the rumor true?
S-ss, I envy him
Its because of the name tag that sparkled in rainbow colors. Factorias golden name tag was also umon, but this rainbow-colored name tag was the only one of its kind on the continent. Rank and grade werent proportional. If the ranking was based on festival scores, the grade was measured by pure ability. However, people with good abilities were also ranked higher.
In the end, proportionality was the established theory of the festival academia.
Wait! His abilities arent that good?
Yeah. He doesnt have any Grade Z skills.
Is there anyone at the Transcendental Realm within A-ss?
Isnt that only on the outside?
The heroes gathered in the womens dormitorymunal cafeteria chatted over their meals while looking at my abilities. The envious voices of those doubting my abilities grew louder, but it was only for a moment.
Wasnt itmonly said that bad news travels fast?
I heard he killed ten people on the third floor of the dormitory a while ago.
Oh, my Godin one blow? Is that possible?
You know whats even more surprising? The Queen was among them! The Queen, who had just been resurrected, is said to have been downgraded to B-ss.
And another point of rank and grade. If you dontmit illegal acts, your score and ranking wont change even if you fail a mission or die, but your grade would drop. One step at a time. There were no exceptions.
There must be a fuss about it. Two people share the B-ss dorms, and the quality of the servants in charge of the room is also slightly reduced.
I feel sorry for the girl who shares a room with the Queen
Hush! Watch your tongue.
If Im dragged away, youreing with me. Were friends, arent we?
Just because were friends doesnt mean Id die with you!
This righteous hero had already overheard everything.
Arent they too worried? Its not like there are dictaphones here; it wasnt a big deal. They can simply deny it; its just gossip after all.
Factoria. Who is the Queen?
The Queen of Ennd I remember was a grandmother. Did she rejuvenate as she crossed into the fantasy world? If it were true, there was no way to avoid usations of attacking an olddy
Its Catherine.
How am I supposed to know who it is if you say that?
She is the woman who called me a fox at the front of the crowd. The one that called you a male
Ah! Ugly B.
Who did she think I was?
It feels good to know how much you value me. Wellthis is a very personal question, who is Ugly A?
She is in the eastern continent of Fantasy. A half-breed elf markswoman who despised a good hero by calling him a male.
No way? She was friends with me. She broke through the dark magic and delivered the final blow to the Demon King. But I didnt know there was such an issue
We grabbed a meal tray and got our food. Meat, vegetables, fish, fruits
It was a very bnced diet. Of the people in line, of course, I was the only man. This made me feel like I came to an all-girls school alone. But this feeling onlysted until the meal was served.
I wasnt the only man. It was thanks to the greasy-looking servants walking around the restaurant, pouring water, and cleaning up the leftovers. Some of them were captured by the heroes and became their conversation partners.
I went into the mountain to gather herbs instead of the herbalists, and I was besieged by two trolls while avoiding their crude clubs like this! I threw fireballs at its ugly head
Oh! Youre amazing!
Its still too early to admire me. I said there were two, right?
Oops! This stupid servant forgot about that, Big Sis Erica.
These conversations took ce all over the cafeteria. It was a very strange sight, just like the social gatherings of thedies I happened to see in the 1st ythrough.
Isnt the mens dorm simr?
Factoria, who sat facing me, asked a question.
Its quiet there.
I had only been there once when I was taking the tour so that I couldnt judge it, but the heroes there only nced at the maids. I saw some people look like I want to talk to that beautiful maid! on their faces, but they kept their mouths shut as they looked around. Did it feel as if they were trying to keep each other in check?
Thats amazing.
It must be weird. Fools who cant even talk to their maid. Tsk, tsk.
You dont seem to be in a position to insult others.
Hmm?
It wasnt Factoria.
Maid A.
I am Elise. Your maid.
Right, Elise. What are you doing in the womens dormitory?
She smiled as she always did, but the light in her eyes was fading. I could tell she was in a very bad mood.
Since you skipped breakfast and went to the womens dormitory, I was curious about what you were doing. So, I followed you. Are you saying its better to eat a meal surrounded by women than the dishes Ive cooked carefully?
No way.
The fair S-ss hero was curious about the meals of ordinary people below A-ss, so he paid them a one-time visit. Was that something to be pissed off about?
Ah, I understand. Inspection! Indeedyou are right. A person standing above must be able to look down as well.
Elises expression brightened with a smile that contained her sincerity. She changed faster than I could turn over my palms.
Hey, Kang Han-soo. Does the S-ss eat separately in a private room?
Factoria, who had been quietly listening to Elise, suddenly intervened. I answered casually.
Yeah. I also decide on the menu.
The discrimination is too much. I thought that A-ss having a private room would be the best in dormitory life. I never imagined that there would be a kitchen and a chef in the dorm, leaving the cafeteria out entirely.
Cant you see the fourth floor from the outside?
I cant see the inside because a curtain blocks it. You, an S-ss person, dont need to worry about it at all, right? You probably wont know, but you cant go up to the fourth floor recklessly regardless of your gender.
I see!
As Factoria said, it was a rule I didnt have to worry about at all.
*
Male! How dare you touch me
It was when I left the womens dormitory after finishing the shabby A-ss meal. Ugly B was blocking the front door of the dormitory with her colleagues in no small number. There seemed to be around five hundred people. Factoria, who was following me after bing curious about the inside of the S-ss dormitory, spoke.
The reason Catherine is called the Queen is that she is the head of the womens dormitory. Shes much better at agitation than fighting. So anyone who opposes her will be isted.
Like you?
As it is now, there are very few heroes who truly follow Catherine, but they follow her trend.
Agitation, huh?
I looked at Ugly Bs ability.
? Race: Grand Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Fighter (Crisis Spection)
?Skill: Spection Z Charm SS Agitation SS Charge S Resistance S
?Status: Fury, Pride, Divine Beast
Considering that the higher-level skill in the general area was nk, it seemed that she had just acquired the Transcendental Realm Skill. Was she an imitation of the goddess of the battlefield, charging forward? I was a little interested in the divine beast she possessed, but I was disappointed to see it was a unicorn.
There were so many good divine beasts globally, but all she had was the weakest unicorn
Male,st warning. Ill forgive you if you get down on your knees and lick this Queens shoes now. You may have defeated me by surprise earlier, but that trick wont work anymore.
Oh my
Had she looked at my abilities and decided I was weak? If there was one big mistake in the educational policy of all faculty staff, it was instilling a habit of evaluating others based on their abilities. I was no exception because it was convenient.
Hero. In this case, it is self-defense. There will be no negative effect on the score, and a win gives you a positive rating for your gradewell. Im not sure if it will be evaluated if your opponent is so clumsy~.
Elise, the quick-witted maid, gave me the information I needed right away. I mean, theres nothing to fuss about, right? I freed the ck Box.
The power of despicable and cheap friendship wasnt strong enough to win by mistake. I would teach her true agitation.
If you are the Queen, then I am the Devil.

However, this Demon King wouldnt harm a good hero. The visual was also far from evil. Beautiful angels on my left and right gave blessings, and a friend and a hero who was a real prince served as my escort. And even the Demon Kings nemesis, the Exorcist, stood nearby.
Who would think of me as a Demon King?!
? Introduction: Dignified and courageous heroes. Are you enjoying the festival? We will spare no effort to support our heroes to develop beautiful love and friendship in the future.
? Main: The Demon King Pedonar, who was defeated and sealed by the First Hero and feared the strength of the heroes. So the Demon King decided to attack the dormitory full of the heroes dreams and hopes! Oh my gosh! How could youe up with such a terrible n?!
The Demon King appeared in the dormitory? Was that gentleman Demon King working part-time up to this point?
? Conclusion: Among the heroes who stopped the Demon Kings invasion, the five people with the highest contribution are waiting for you, so dont miss out! Oops! Where is the Demon King? Look up at the sky. We marked the location of the Demon King Pedonar with an arrow.
Sky? The arrow was pointing at me.
Elise, please exin quickly.
W-who knows? There mustve been a mistake due to ack of time and budget
Chapter 155 - [? Round] Lucky Day
Chapter 155 - [? Round] Lucky Day
The same went for online games. If you use an illegal program, the game operator threatened the users with a notice that they would shut down their ount. Again, it may seem like a legitimate request from the seller, but it wasnt.
The operator should have taken measures so that the illegally designated program couldnt affect the game. They couldnt do that, so they would threaten you to stay in thene
There was a reason for making the ck Box illegal. The Fantasy God who built this education system couldnt catch the ck Box, and it was a cheat on a very deep level, too. To the point of being mistaken for Pedonar just because my job was changed to Demon King.
I hastily disabled the ck Box, but the arrow pointing above me didnt go away.
I cant help it.
Do I have to die to finish the event? Im strong even if I deactivate the ck Box. Spirit, which recently entered the Transcendental Realm, wasnt disyed in my stats, but it had been integrated with my race Natural Spirit.
Heres the fun fact. This skill was no longer capable of breaking the limit, but every time the spirits molested my body, I gained proficiency. How about the other skills? Earth, fire, wind, water, mind, light (divine), darkness. The experience of Supersized Kang Han-soo, the sand puppet made bybining the seven energies, waspletely immersed in my soul. It determined my identity.
Im a human. A higher creature with various possibilities.
But its not Pedonar?
Ugh! That guy is the only S-ss
But the arrow is pointing at him.
As expected! The S-ss was a fake designed for an event!
Who said that? Blinded by envy and jealousy, the heroes began to rationalize their actions with their imagination. An S-ss that no one had reached so far. They said that the setting was to naturally ce the Demon King Pedonar, the protagonist of this event, near the dormitory.
I was so dumbfounded that all I could do wasugh. Demon Lord Pedonar and I were different in everything from appearance to the atmosphere. Of course, now that the ck Box had been deactivated, the race and job alsobut they still insisted on us being the same person.
This was because they liked the idea that S-ss didnt exist rather than suspecting a system error. A tragedy brought on by jealousy.
Diversity isnt always positive.
The average was a method in which plus (+) and minus (-) coexisted. The criteria for the Fantasy Gods selection of heroes were those social misfits who hadnt adapted to the beautiful green Earth. As a result, they were easier to use.
Except for me, who was kidnapped into the Fantasy World due to a system error, it was safe to say that all of them were below-average minuses. Of course, thats probably why they made that decision.
Kuuuuugh-
The spirits, who were enjoying their happiness by fiddling with my body like a drug addict, expressed their displeasure from being disturbed.
Come to your senses! Its me! A friend of nature-kugh?!
Everyone, watch out! The spirits are going berserk!
Why are you attacking me! Our friendship is-kyah?!
Is my spirit affinity going down?!
The fools who misunderstood a good hero as the Demon King screamed and scattered all over the ce. In particr, the sorcerers and wizards based on the five elements were nothing but scarecrows now without their spirits. The five elements of the spirits themselves wouldnt harm me. But, conversely, they excluded those causing a disturbance around them while protecting me.
The implications of this were massive. It meant that if the First Spirit wanted to, in an instant, wizards and sorcerers be useless, just like ordinary people. That was on disy right now. Twenty percent of the graduates were incapacitated because they attacked me, the one sexually harassed and loved by spirits.
What about the rest?
sh-!
They mercilessly cut down the spirits that were blocking the way, charging me in a straight line. I dont know who led the trend, but the weapons handled by the legendary heroes were ordinary swords. Without rushing, I chanted my spell calmly.
O,st sword born from the Star of Oblivion destroyed by chaos. Dreams and hopes that will cut through empty love and friendship. So praises the heir who remembers his holy and sacred name, proving the legend ording to the oath from the beginning. Holy Sword Nucleon.
My main focus was closer to their hand than the sword from the 1st ythrough because I was taught wrongly by Alex, the violent teacher. Hence, these hands, sitting at my desk all day, yingputer games all night- cough! It was born bybining my medical knowledge and the teachings of Alex, who often hurt my back and neck while studying.
However, there was nothing more certain than this to prove that I was a hero and not the Demon King. The Holy Sword. A hero without a Holy Sword was no hero. To borrow Saint As choice phrase, the weak do not deserve to be called heroes.
Pop-!
I held the summoned Holy Sword. It was a Holy Sword no matter who looked at it, so it was solid proof that I was a hero, different from the graduates who held ordinary swords.
Why does the Demon King use the Holy Sword-?!
Thats a fake! Howe the Demon King holds a Holy Sword? Thats weird!
Right! Thats fake! Dont be fooled.
However, in a world where incitement and deceit were rampant, the truth was ignored. As a result, the delicate heart of a good-natured hero was wounded
Pat, pat.
You damn Mind Spirit. Would you please stop pretending tofort me by tapping on my sensitive parts? Dont pretend you dont know. I keep thinking of a bitch who pretends to be cute just by breathing!
While I looked down at the Mind Spirit wriggling in my pants and scolding her, the graduates were closing the short distance.
It was taking too long. I thought I was going to fall asleep while waiting.
ash-
sh-
I cut them down neatly with the Holy Sword Nucleon, precisely between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae. I wonder if there were three of them? I changed the cut area between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae because the headless corpses seemed too unsightly.
Oh! Now I can tell who is who!
The upper bodies had expressions saying, Nonsense! Then, their internal organs began to leak out.
And another fun fact.
The experience point is strange?
I boast a 100% experience point absorption rate. The souls of the natives to Fantasy, divided like slices of pizza, were useless no matter how much I collected them. But these graduates were different. Each was akin to being a whole pizza! And yet, the soul wasnt collected.
Sa-save me?!
Sorry! Its my mistake! Forgive me- Kugh?!
I dont want to die! I cant fall to C-ssgulp.
Donte here! Go away! Yikes!
Realizing that they were no match to me, I experimented a bit more while kindly following the graduates who ran away. Where did their souls go, which should be absorbed together as part of the experience?
Hmm, is it strange?
There was no sign of a soul escaping. But I couldnt keep their souls in my heart. I could tell just by looking at Ugly Bs resurrection to level 999. Ive seen this happen before.
Lanuvel.
What do the two have inmon? So I decided to cut down some more for research. Just one or two more
*
Graduate Student Kang Han-soo. I have good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first?
In the end, I returned to the dormitory without finding anything out, and I enjoyed a cup of tea brewed by Elise, the Grade S maid. A cup of ck tea after a hot bath. I felt like my heart was filled with romance.
The bad news first.
When I was young, I was afraid of my mothers tennis racket, so I couldnt even dream of being a picky eater. So, the alternative that came out was the habit of eating the things I didnt like first. This was reflected in my life as a whole. Although I felt rxed after decades of freewheeling in the barbaric Fantasy World, I dont hesitate to choose the bad first when I have to choose like this.
You cannot leave the dormitory until the system is stabilized.
How long will it take?
It is uncertain. However, the event to subdue Demon Lord Pedonar has a time limit of five days, so itll be lifted in five days at thetest.
Even now, an arrow was pointing at my head. But this was the 4th floor of the dormitory. Heroes below S-ss werent allowed to enter. So even if there was a Demon King to knock down, it was still the same. This was proof that the dormitory rules were more important than suppressing the Demon King.
Events were supposed to be for entertainment, after all. It wouldnt have been possible if the Demon King had truly invaded. This confinement wasnt for me, though. It was a temporary measure designed so I wouldnt trample on the dreams and hopes of graduates who attacked like moths to a me.
For me, who was acting in self-defense, it was truly unfair!
Five days, huh
Im d it wasnt too long, though. There were about twenty months left until the end of the festival. Forgetting five of those days didnt even stand out too much. I would be able to take fifth ce with ease.
?Score: 11360
?Ranking: 84
Very smoothly. Although it was obvious self-defense, there was considerable damage to the dormitory facilities and cities as the spirits ran riot. So my score went down. Nevertheless, it was a satisfactory result for me, who shouldnt score high enough to win in the first ce.
Its a good thing this time.
Tell me.
It seems that you already know about it, so I will make sure to tell you without hiding it. This bug urred when the education system mistook Graduate Student Kang Han-soo for the Demon King. As a result, the festivals 1st-anniversary event is automatically triggered when the Demon King arrives near the dormitory.
You know very well, dont you?
Because I am a Grade S maid.
Well, okay. Lets just leave it for now!
So, whats the good thing?
It is a reward. It can be considered a bribe. No matter how buggy it was, we didnt expect the graduates to be ughtered in such a massacre. Currently, there are less than 10 A-ss participants left in the festival. The B-ss dormitory is so crowded that the A-ss dormitory is converted to a B-ss double room. Not to mention the C-ss.
And youre asking me to stay calm until its settled.
Exactly.
Now enough with the chit-chat, tell me what you are going to give me as a reward.
If its good, Im willing topromise.
The MAX-ss amodation on the 5th floor will be temporarily opened so that Graduate Student Kang Han-soo can livefortably for those five days. At least you wont feel frustrated because you can use the fifth floor of the dormitory by yourself.
All of the fifth floor? Isnt that too awesome?
It is likely to berger than any emperors room.
Youll see it for yourselfter, but Ill exin it briefly. It consists of a swimming pool and fish tank where mermaids live, a hanging garden and stable managed by elves, a cksmith and library assisted by dwarves, a bath and sauna where spirits y, a restaurant and massage room where angels work, and a training room andboratory to fight demons.
What about you?
Im in charge there.
Indeedits more spacious and structured than the one here.
If you try it, five days will feel short.
I look forward to it.
I wondered if it would satisfy me like when I had been well off as the emperor of the Northern Continent.
Ah! And this.
A ring?
No, a very thin, transparent film was ced in the center of the ring. If my modern knowledge wasnt wrong, this was
Its the Ring of Fortune. ording to the person who gave this, there will never be a situation that leads to an irresponsible situation if you wear it.
I see.
Health Teacher. What the hell is she
Graduate Student Kang Han-soo. It is still too early to be satisfied. There is another reward.
Again? What is it?
Please check your score.
Score?
Suddenly, anxiety overtook me, and I quickly looked at my score.
? Score: 111360
? Rank: 1
Both the score and the ranking had changed digits. I was so happy that my whole body was about to fly away. Good amodation, good ring, good scores.
Today was my lucky day.
Chapter 156 - [? Round] Why Are You Coming Out of Here?
Chapter 156 - [? Round] Why Are You Coming Out of Here?
This ispensation for the physical and mental damage that Graduate Student Kang Han-soo received, so dont feel too burdened about it. The superiors say they are deeply reflecting on the bullying of a decent graduate due to a system error. With your ability, you can earn 100,000 points quickly, but its the greatestpensation that a superior who cant interfere with the festival can make
First ce, you say!
But dont let your guard down. ording to statisticspiled based on the growth trend of graduates, you will be overtaken by second ce within a year. Assuming you dont do anything.
I almost had a mental panic with the sense of crisis that I might go on to secondary education center at this rate, but I took a deep breath and regained my peace of mind. Yes. Its not like the score will be settled today, right? There was still time to spare.
Besides
Fufu! I feel like Ive been excused.
The score was overflowing. Wasnt it just like I became aw-free entity that was unconditionally excluded from life imprisonment and fines? I even thought about leaving the dorm right away and ying chess until the score went down.
However, instead, I fiddled with the Ring of Fortune.
Do you like the ring?
I havent used it yet, so I dont know.
Even if I lose points, I shouldnt lose people. The Health Teacher was in favor of me. She threw a nk check saying that she would be my health teacher if the teachers were corrupted. Besides, she sent me such a wonderful gift; it wasnt polite to turn my back on her.
I approached Elise.
Are you going to try your luck on me?
Is it possible that roughly 100,000 points will return aftermitting a crime?
Fufu! Howe?
Elise, who was very close to me, added, pressing her breasts against my chest.
Graduate Student Kang Han-soo is the owner of this room. And the superiors told me to stay in the room unconditionally for five days. Until then, I have to make sure you dont get bored. No matter what.
For free?
I am the hero who achieved first ce in this world.
Then shall we start with the mouth first?
Good.
We had a frank conversation with our lips and tongues.
*
Its amazing.
The Ring of Fortune was awesome. It changed size ording to the thickness of my fingers, so I didnt feel like I was wearing it at all. Id experimented with everything all night long, but it melted so naturally that I even forgot it was there.
And this good ring wasnt even a disposable one. It didnt break even after messing around all night, and it also cleaned up things that would inevitably be stained like dirt as you went through life. Beds werent the only science I coveted. I put the Ring of Fortune on my treasure list.
In my opinion, Graduate Student Kang Han-soo is more amazing than the ring. I dont know how many years have passed since I was so exhausted. I still feel like my ass is on fire.
Elise, lying naked on the bed, grinned and responded to my murmur. I pulled back the curtains of the window without answering. The beautiful sunlight greeted me. Currently, I wasnt wearing a single thread except for the Ring of Fortune that I fell asleep wearing. I didnt mind, though. If this were the fourth floor, I would have been seen naked outside the dormitory, but this was the fifth floor.
It was the result of epting Elises opinionst night that the fifth floor was better to talk in just before starting our full-fledged conversation. The choice wasnt wrong. Dozens of elf women in traditional green clothes made of woven vines cultivated arge garden full of flowers and trees. In the pool in the center of the garden, delicious-looking mermaids were sunbathing on the waterside. When they found me, they waved their arms wide open instead of covering their shiny nude bodies.
But thats a bit too much.
The S-ss hero didnt discriminate betweennd and water battles, but he preferred one-on-one. I leaned back against the railing of the terrace and nced sideways.
Unirrrr~!
Siiiil
A pure white unicorn and a silver wyvern were tied to a stable corner of the garden. Those two were the mounts assigned to heroes who used MAX-ss amodation, and they could also leave their own tamed pets there. Of course, the management was cared for by the elves who resided here.
Hmmisnt it too small for Green Cake?
Pang! Pang! Pang! Pang!
An anvil being tapped rhythmically filled the air. It would usually be hard to hear because a soundproof wall blocked it, but my hearing and touch went beyond the standard of ordinary people and were at the level of hearing ultrasonic waves like a bat or dolphin. The dwarves seemed to be making something in the dormitory workshop.
They would be the only men here other than me. No, in the first ce, dwarves were a race with only men, so it was meaningless to discuss gender. Repairing broken equipment was basic, and if you give them the materials, they will make what you want for free.
Graduate Student Kang Han-soo. Can I wash first and prepare breakfast? Of course, starting today, I will not cook. I can handle the roles and tasks of every servant who works on the fifth floor, but I am not an expert.
Just work at your convenience.
Thank you. What would you like to have for breakfast? If you dont have anything in mind, I will prepare a menu rmended by the chef.
Ill take the rmendation.
Yes. I will put your clothes on the bed. Please understand that I chose arbitrarily because I didnt know your taste.
That will do.
I was also able to pull off the unconventional noble costumes of the Fantasy World. Im confident that I can wear any clothes. Im also confident in my figure. Elise, who picked up the clothes that had fallen under the bed without even trying to cover her nakedness and swinging her hips from side to side, went into her room right next to this one.
Looking at that seductive back, I was speechless. Fair skin without even a single spot, walking naked, only her ass dyed ck and blue like Mongolian spot
It was such a waste to watch alone.
Its too spacious.
I upied an entire floor of the dormitory while thousands of graduates were forced to upy cramped quarters. No, to be precise, it was two floors. Inmon sense, it was hard to say 1-2m is enough for a swimming pool to be deep enough for a mermaid to swim leisurely. Moreover, the walls and floors must be thick to withstand the load of the water pressing against the building.
In other words, Im in a six-story rooftop room, not a five-story one. Below this was the 5th floor, and the dormitories of the servants were also on the 5th floor, except for Elise, who served next to me. The fifth floor was very simple. Private training centers and swimming pools upied almost the entire area. And there was a restaurant that wasnt worth using alone.
I walked to bed after admiring the garden. The clothes that Elise rmended were fine, a royal robe with wide sleeves and a dragon embossed on the back with gold thread. It was the perfect gown for an emperor to wear.
Its like peas in a pod.
It was as luxurious as this dormitory. The clothes that Elise rmended were simr to the bathrobes provided by luxury hotels. After putting it on, I simply tied the strap instead of putting on a belt, and it was done. To my surprise, there was no underwear. After putting on the robe, I summoned Saint H and Green Cake.
The spirits also came naturally.
Its been a long time since you called me even though theres not even a battle, Master.
Saint H, who was summoned while holding the hand of Green Cake, who had been transformed into his human form, looked around and said in a coy tone.
U-huh! If anyone hears, theyll misunderstand.
I always called her when I felt like sleeping alone.
You dont get much sleep in the first ce.
I have nothing to say about it.
I dont need sleep. Its simr to whales. They had toe to the surface from time to time to breathe so that they couldnt sleep. Wouldnt it be a big deal to drown while sleeping? Therefore, whales live almost their entire lives in a state of daze and without sleep because the left and right sides of their brain take turns.
I was like a whale too. However, there was no need to divide my brain in my case because it recovered faster than the fatigue built up. However, I had cked out quite a few times to train that kind of thing! But why do I sleep sometimes? It was because, on the days when I fall asleepfortably, I had happy dreams of living as a citizen on the beautiful green Earth.
I had a nice dreamst night too. As she held her cute baby granddaughter, my mothers expression, originally like a female demon, softened like a holy mother, putting down her tennis racket.
Father. May I go to the garden?
Green Cake, who calls me Father from time to time, spoke up. I couldnt even bother to answer the baby dragon, who wasnt big enough, so I waved my hand as if to drive away a fly.
Oh! What a cute child!
Whats your name?
How is your rtionship with your master?
What a pity youre still so young
How can you be so cute!
The Elves and mermaids scattered all over the hanging garden rushed in when they found him. I crossed my arms and looked at the sight.
A child who will grow up to be Noebius II is flustered because hes surrounded by stupid fishes and t monitors
It was very disappointing. But I decided not to rush it. If you force a child to study, he resists you, right? If he keeps looking at the wonderful appearances of demon dragons and evil dragons scattered in the Fantasy World, he will naturally resemble them. The demon dragon I met yesterday wasnt worth that title, though.
To be defeated by a kid who wasnt yet ten years old and run away! It was a disgrace to all dragons.
Master. How about going out for a quick meal?
Ah, right.
I nodded at Saint Hs suggestion as I looked at Green Cake, who was smiling brightly, unaware that the elves and mermaids were sexually harassing him.
Like sleep, I didnt need food. But wasnt it pleasant for my tongue? I decided to go downstairs by myself. I gave Saint H, Green Cake, and the spirits free time because they didnt leave the dormitory.
It was too wide for me to use it on my own. I needed to increase the number of people to get my moneys worth.
*
The restaurant on the fifth floor was nicer than the hanging garden. This was because one side of the ss projected into the pool water. I felt like I was at an aquarium cafe. If you meet them in person and talk to them, they were little more than fish, but the mermaids swimming quietly in the water were as pure and beautiful as ornamental tropical fish.
Thats what it was usually like. When they see a human male, they get a fishy smell and go into heat
p!
p!
A mermaid who noticed me clung to the transparent ss wall. Her pretty face and voluptuous breasts were blocked by the wall, ttening against the ss. After all, mermaids were like that.
Dear hero. Do you like the interior of the restaurant?
Its been good so farum?
As I looked at the mermaids whose image quickly deteriorated from elegant tropical fish to flounder for sashimi, I was startled by the familiar voice of a man from behind. I turned around quickly and stopped breathing for a moment. A pure white tuxedo that you could see in a fancy restaurant, and the mans ck hair and reddish skin strangely matched.
The mermaids werent as excited about me as the goldfish in front of them. It was this guys fault.
Why is the Demon King here?
Demon Lord Pedonar. The evil king, who sat on the throne of a magnificent castle and waited for a hero toe, inversely came to me first. It was the first time in my entire career.
Not to mention, this wasnt even the Fantasy Continent. The Demon King, who sat down at the table naturally, loosened the tie around his neck.
I have lost my job because you are acting as the Demon King.
Ah yes. Thats pitiful for some reason.
Chapter 157 [? Round] All the Rivers Run to the Sea
Chapter 157 [? Round] All the Rivers Run to the Sea
I had the role of the Demon King. The Demon King Pedonar, waiting for his turn behind the stage, was shattered by this fake appearance. But it didnt make sense to me.
Isnt it strange that the Demon King loses his ce just because a fake?
Just because someone impersonated, the king didnt mean the real king was kicked out of the pce. So, how about this Demon King?
If I was an ordinary Demon King, it is supposed to be that way. Whether someone impersonates him or not, his loyal servants will support him. But Im just a stage actor, not a king.
A viin actor who moved ording to the program written by the director and producer, the Fantasy God. He was waiting for his turn to fall rather than nning a scheme and raising an army to sweep away the arrogant hero. But then there was a problem.
He was being kicked out of the waiting room due to a system error! The actor who was memorizing the script was driven into the streets without knowing what had happened.
Im a little sorry about that.
Why does the hero have to apologize to the Demon King? I had a little problem with that, but I had taken someone elses job, even if it wasnt intentional.
It doesnt matter. I like this ce much more than the shabby single room where my luggage was waiting. By the way, Im not a trespasser. I came here because this was the only ce to hide without being noticed by anyone until the end of this festival.
Exactly
No matter where the Demon Lord Pedonar hid on the continent, the chance of encountering a graduate wasnt 0%. However, the fourth and fifth floors of dormitories were an exception. Heroes below S-ss werent allowed to enter at all. No graduates questioned this, and even if they wanted to sneak in, they were blocked by the system and couldnt ess it.
System. Starting with stats like game characters, this world was being protected and controlled by something surreal. This was also one of the influences of such a system. If an unauthorized person approached the fourth or fifth floor, they would be kicked out through the back door of the dorm. Whether flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, sneaking in, or whatever
Therefore, the Demon Lord came in with permission from the system. Or perhaps even the system hadnt expected this.
Think about it. Wouldnt it be funny if the fearsome Demon King attacked the dormitories of the heroes and was exiled while climbing the fourth-floor stairs with full dignity? So it is very likely that they gave him a permit.
Hero. As I must say, Im not the Demon Lord Pedonar you remember. I am just one of the countless fragments of a soul. Its interesting, by the way. I came here because I was curious about what kind of hero acted as the Demon King, but I didnt expect him to be my son-inw.
Whos your son-inw?!
Thats what I wrote on your soul.
Who said you could doodle there?!
Im telling you again; its not me. Another piece of me judged you to be my son-inw, so I wrote it down. But I dont think it was in vain. Because I trust myself, so, you can call me father-inw.
Whos my father-inw?!
Even before, he kept saying, son-inw. Thats because he wrote, Hes my son-inw. Mine! on my soul! If anyone saw it, I would never get married for the rest of my life. How could there be such a terrible curse in this world?
Son-inw, youre very shy. Was her preference a cute guy? Im so disqualified as a father. I cant believe I didnt even know that.
What the hell
First, lets eat and talk. This isnt something that I who never dies or perishes would say, but isnt it all about living?
I agreed with that. The angel chef who was waiting while watching us finally approached.
Its the first day, so I didnt know what Graduate Student Kang Han-soo likes, so I randomly selected the menu. Your breakfast is smoked salmon and kiwi dressing sd, slime pudding, and Mandragora juice.
Not a woman, but a man, the angel chef exined the menu to me as I sat at the same table with the Demon King. It didnt mean that he would cook from now on. Instead, he served dishes preserved by high-dimensional magic that stopped their flow of time.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Breakfast was summoned on the tes on the table. He was more like a magician than a chef. The angels appearance was also beautiful, like a lead actor who would star in a cooking drama or movie. However, this food was truly made by the angel in front of me. By looking at the colorful decorations, I could tell that a lot of effort was put into it.
Thats a lot.
There was no problem with my stomach as it was like a ck hole, but it was enough to make me tired of eating. The chef spoke indifferently.
If there are any leftovers, we will share them among us, so dont worry. Ah! It doesnt mean you have to leave it unconditionally. Eat as much as you want. Still, I hope you enjoy the Mandragora juice and slime pudding.
Oh! It looks like a piece of art.
I didnt answer that. The Demon King who made eye contact with me raised a fork and continued.
Hero. Dont refuse and eat.
Tsk.
I waspletely dissatisfied to see him rmend it more naturally than the chef, but the Demon King was right. He wasnt even the enemy who killed my beloved family, right? So I had no reason to let my blood boil as soon as I saw him.
First, lets eat and talk! After eating some smoked salmon with sd, I poked the translucent pudding on the te with my chopsticks.
Squish, squish~
Oh
It was as the angel chef bragged. It was a dessert that perfectly recreated the texture of slime. It tasted really good, too.
However
Its a little sweet to my taste. You put too much Romanceia honey to make it feel like slime. But this recipe is amazing. I cant believe you put three delicacies of the universe in your dessert.
The Demon King, who took a bite of the pudding, gave a food review with sharp eyes.
To even notice that! Its indeed worth cooking.
The angel pped his wings and smiled with satisfaction. How about my food review?
But I like it better if its slimy
I missed the great touch of Master Mon. I also learned how to write professional food reviews. If you dont want to hear that youre ignorant of the barbarians of the Fantasy World, you need to get used to the social gathering of nobles. But that and this were a different matter.
Even if I only listened to the conversation between the Demon King and the angel, there were quite a few ingredients that I didnt know. Herbs and licorice that originated from beyond the gxy
In times like this, its better to shut up than pretend to know even a little bit. This is all from experience. After dessert with a slimy texture, Mandragora juice arrived as a mouthwash. Mandragora, huh? Its a nt grown in the ground like radishes and carrots, whose roots scream when pulled out.
For reference, its used as a medicine. So, I dont expect the taste of this Mandragora juice to be delicious as well. I had to think of it as a nutritious food like yam juice. I drank it all the way.
Kaaaaaaarrrgh!
It tasted like screaming.
Oh, my God! Oh! God damn it! How in the world could it taste this!
How about the Demon King who drank with me?
What a lovely voice.
I thought he drank it almost at the same time, but the Demon King just pretended to drink it and took his lips off the juice ss with a chuckle.
*
After eating.
I met the Demon King in the living room. He was alone, but Saint H and the others were standing behind me. The spirits seemed to have a lot to say to the Demon King they hadnt met in a long time, but I ordered them to shut up.
My son-inw. Its not something that I, the apex of all demons, would say, but you treat your subordinates too harshly. You could be betrayed at the decisive moment that way.
I dont care.
I would make them regret being born, after all. I left them alone because I was confident that I would win even if everyone betrayed me and isted me. Otherwise, I wouldnt have appointed them as spirits.
I dont know what Scioscias taste is
Hey, Demon King. No matter what your daughter says, I have no intention of bing your son-inw.
Is that what you want?
Yeah.
Then I dont care.
Huh?
There was a time when I cared about my daughter. There was a time when I told someone to beat me if he wanted to take my daughter. But that spirit and love had fallen before time. Although, I feel like if she could get married and bring a cute grandson in my arms, I wouldnt have any other wishes.
Ah, right.
I forgot his age because the Demon King Pedonar looked like a businessman next door. His race was the first demon. If so, wasnt he a more primitive man than Homo sapiens or Australopithecus, the progenitors of modern humans? As a teenager, I didnt know.
Once we were fighting for the supremacy of the universe with the first angel, we also had tendencies to fight and avenge. But now, theres nothing more important to me than having my daughter married off. I thought shed find a good man and get married over the yearsshe didnt do it till the end.
You talk too much.
What a load of rubbish.
Impatient hero! Im sure youll experience it someday. However, I also thought little of this as a young man, so I wont say any more. Well, then, Ill have to pay for the meal as the older one. Ask me anything.
How do I go beyond the dimension?
Its such an unexpected question. I thought you would ask about the truth of the world or the identity of the Fantasy God.
I am a pragmatist, after all.
What good is knowing such things? Would they appear in an interview or entrance exam? Nothing was more important to me than going back to Earth.
You know the universal way that demons cross dimensions. But to understand this, you must first know how the world is formed. In other words, you need ess to the truth of the world.
I dont know the history of cars, but I can drive.
But you need to learn how to drive. Right?
My lips were tightly shut in front of the Demon King, who smiled hatefully. It was questionable how the Demon King of the savage Fantasy World knew how to drive a car, but it wasnt wrong.
I am the first living being miraculously born among the dark matter of the universe. And my sister was the first to survive the dazzling explosion of a supernova. The names demons and angels were given a long time ago. A noble angel to the victorious race and a mean demon to the loser. History is written by the winners.
Is the Fantasy God the first angel?
Id say so.
The answer was a bit daunting, but the Demon King didnt deny it.
But is this important information?
You need to know this so we can move on to the next step. Unfortunately, I dont think youre good at studying.
Im average!
Im just trying to say that my grandson must be cute because he will resemble your personality and will be very smart because his abilities will resemble Scioscia. Haha!
This man-demon is really!
We were able to get back to the point after a while.
There was a time when I was aiming for supremacy in the universe by overtaking my sister. The second-born dark child rebelled against me. Yes, that kid is Scioscia. It was a suggestion to stop doing meaningless things like being the ruler of the universe and live quietlyI was also young at that time.
As a result, the first angel and the second demon had conspired. Light and darkness. The two forces merged for the first time. This had indeed produced a surprising synergistic effect. Although the form is 1+1=2, and the power of friendship is expressed as 1+1=3. Thebination of two opposing forces created an absurd calction method of 1+1=10.
Then
A monster that fully embraced this power was born.
The First Hero?
Thats right.
It was said that the First Hero was truly iparable, even to the point that the Demon King, who was aiming for supremacy in the universe, was beaten alone by him.
Thats the origin of the ability.
Hmmthen can my abilities be recovered, too, sir?
Suddenly, your tone has be more polite.
Because I need something.
Haha! Im d youre honest. So cute. To start with the answer, recovery is difficult. Even the first angel cant do that. Again, abilities were created bybining light and darkness. She can share the darkness she took from me with the others, but she cant get it back. The same goes for light mixed with darkness. My consent is essential to recover those abilities.
But the probability wasnt 0%. In other words, I had to take one side to maintain my abilities. The first angel, or the first demon. Because if both hate me, I will lose my ability. Instead, if either side was favorable, the fear of losing those abilities disappeared. Politics were necessary, though.
So what about the dimensional shift?
Youre persistent.
Teach me now!
What have you heard so far? First, you must obtain the consent of my sister, who has taken away most of my dark power. You will receive a pass made in the form of a skill. Thats the only way out of this world thats protected by an ability-equivalent system.
Ah!
I just saw it yesterday! The Pizza Deliveryman. He had said that he had been permitted to move through the dimensions. If so, who was the boss he got that authority from?
The Fantasy God.
It was very simple. But it was also devastating news for me. I didnt put up with the Demon Kings useless chit-chat just to hear about this
There is another way.
Oh! What is it?
I didnt want to say this to my son-inw, but youre really stupid. What have I told you so far?
Yes what is it?!
I told you that there are two creators of abilities. I was only deprived of my powers after losing to the First Hero, the prototype of ability.
Ah! Scioscia!
Now, the Demon King looked satisfied. All of the exnations so far had been for the sake of usibility, and this must be the main point. I knew it.
So get married. Im sure youll be happy with no regrets.
It was a truly remarkable example of how all the rivers flow back to the sea.
Chapter 158 - [? Round] Break This Wall!
Chapter 158 - [? Round] Break This Wall!
Manipting abilities! It was an absolute authority like that of a Game Master, an extreme absurdity that caught up with other peoples lifetime achievements by pressing one or two buttons. But that was a game, and this was Fantasy. The special privilege of the hero, 500% of the experience, which can be said to be the specialty of the protagonist in a fantasy novel, was also a great privilege.
Therefore, the heroes shouldntin about this unreasonable setting. Of course.
Its garbage full of politics!
I had to. Didnt this mean that no matter how stupid you are, your abilities could be superior as long as you flirt with the Fantasy God or Scioscia? I really didnt like it.
What are you worried about? It doesnt matter what others think. Just get married.
Stop talking about marriage!
This is what happens when you cant get your only daughter married. Youll know when you get older.
This meaningless conversation didnt continue. We moved on to something more constructive: escape.
The first hero who ran away and started a new life seems to be very reluctant to let me open the seal. He raised a level 100 hero and hid undercover. Its a cowardly way of going about things.
The Demon King burst intoughter as he looked at the elf hero.
I am at a loss because of that. Pleasepensate me.
I had returned to Earth after graduating. But due to the fact that senior hero confused me with Pedonar, I died was reborn back in this vicious Fantasy World. At that time, with a feeling like I might vomit blood, I shouted Waaah! in a fit of anger.
This was an unforgettable trauma.
My son-inw, families dont judge each others interests.
Dont add me into your family as you please.
Welllets just say so since you havent even joined yet. Compensate, huh? Even if I wanted to give it to you, I couldnt think of a way because I lost all my power. Dont you expect too much from an unemployed man? Its like telling a goblin to give you a girl.
Goblins were a species with only men. Thats why women were always precious to them.
If you dont have anything to give me, why dont you just sleep on the street?
How can a hero be so cruel?! Wait a minute! Shouldnt you give me some time to think?
Leaning his upper body at an angle on the slime-like soft sofa, the Demon King was immersed in his thoughts.
About ten minutes passed before he finally opened his tightly closed lips.
Just as the First Hero prepared a level 100 warrior, I have a technique designed to give him a shot. A power that abilities cannot exin. Since I am the first to use that singrity, I will never perish, but Im worried that you, a mortal, wont be okay with it.
Please teach me first. Then, Ill decide whether to use it or not.
Was it a technique that would kill me if I used it? If its a technique that could unconditionally drag one person down like a nuclear weapon, it wasnt bad at all. Im not saying Im going to kill myself. But, after all, if I had such a thing, it could be a threat like, If you touch me, you will never be safe!
The corners of the Demon Kings lips rose as he liked my answer.
I thought you were just cute, but you have quite a bit of ambition. Scioscia must like it.
Youre saying something strange.
Haha! Then, shall we move ces first?
*
The only MAX-ss room in the dorms had a private training ground, and the windowless interior was surrounded by a special wall that was resistant to powerful attacks.
Oh! You were working part-time, too.
My, Demon King! Whats with that outfit?! No, rather than that, why is the Demon King in the den of heroes?!
There was a demon appointed as a sandbag in the training ground. Shackles connected to the floor were fastened around her ankles, and her handcuffed arms were connected to the ceiling. There was no resistance at all. She was a seemingly delicate beauty, naked without a single thread on her.
There were a few things that made me reluctant to hit her.
Elise. Even so, isnt it a problem with the heroes personality to use a neutralized demon as a punching bag?
I asked amon-sense question to the maid in charge of the MAX-ss amodation. The answer that came back was moremon sense.
Is it necessary to question why a hero attacks a demon?
Right.
Values were divided into ck and white. Amon sense that was very barbaric fantasy world-like.
Of course, there are many exceptions, just like Graduate Student Kang Han-soos question. Heroes with a simple desire to reincarnate and put a pretty demon into their harem are out of the question, and they learn otherwise in the secondary education curriculum. But not now. This is the elementary school curriculum.
Cant they have some prior learning?
Do it ording to Graduate Student Kang Han-soos judgment. You are an S-ss warrior who has alreadypleted the elementary school curriculum safely. Even though youre having a sensitive conversation with the Demon King, who should be hostile, I think that my non-interference is a substitute for an answer.
I see.
While I was talking to Elise, the Demon King was also talking with his former subordinate. By the way
? Race: Grand Demon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Guardsman (Escort Damage)
? Skills: Resilience ZZ Regeneration ZZ Fortitude Z Immunity Z Magic Z
? Status: Bonded, Sealed
From the skillposition, she was a strong demon in a different sense from that of the Health Teacher. It seemed that she wouldnt moan even if I knocked on the castle doors all night. She wasnt chosen as a sandbag for nothing.
But whats more important? The point was that a soldier who wasnt even a knight was far superior to the Demon King in terms of abilities. She was even stronger than Scioscia, the Demon Kings daughter. An abnormal top and bottom structure. I could guess from the conversation between the two.
You are not sealed. Its a piece of luck out of misfortune.
The Demon King is as alwaysas expected, you should have eradicated the angels then without even forgiving them! If so, this miserable situation!
After all, it was because of my ipetence.
My Lordkyaaargh?!
The mournful-voiced Demon Guard let out a fearful scream.
ng!
The Holy Sword Nucleon bounced off the demons hip. There was a slight scratch on the soft, light red skin, but it recovered in the blink of an eye.
Indeed, shes tough.
It didnt look like my hand had slipped.
Hero. No matter how much you think about testing the opponents defenses, it doesnt seem like you can understand the atmosphere.
The Demon King looked at me with a bewildered expression as he scolded me.
My hand slipped.
This wasnt the fault of my habits. This was due tomon sense that a surprise attack was effective when the opponent was caught off guard with conversation.
Indeed, S-ss hero! I admired your dignified figure, which showed no conscience or gaps to the beautiful demon!
Elise, the maid who had just imed to be neutral, praised me with a bright smile. It must also be because of her influence that this Demon Guard was treated less than a ve at the training ground. Was it a personal grudge?
My grandfather, who was the guard of the Infinite Hell, where the ancient demons were imprisoned, was killed by this demon.
Elise, who read my mind, answered immediately.
I see.
Its worth the malice.
No! Elise, Ive told you many times, but I didnt have the slightest intention of killing him! On the contrary, I truly loved him, whoforted me when all the demons criticized me for surviving and not being able to be Demon Kings shield! Please believe me!
You mean that my grandfather, who was so strong, died during sexual intercourse?
I cant believe it either, but its true
It seemed that family affairs were also quiteplicated here. But it was none of my business.
Demon King. I know youve been itching to talk after a long time with your ex-subordinates, but please pass on that suicide skill to me.
You have such a quick temper.
Human lifespans are so short that they are fleeting every moment.
It is ironic indeed to hear such wordse out of the mouth of a spirited hero who is free from the constraint of a fixed human life. But a promise is a promise, so Ill let you know. First of all, break down that wall by any means possible.
Lets say I cant break it.
Its like he said that in anticipation of not being able to break it.
Dont say that, try it. its indeed a system-protected wall that ordinary methods cant break.
You told me to do it even though you know I wont be able to do it. You have a terrible nature.
I dont want to hear that from you! If you used that time to do it, we would have moved on to the next level already.
Tsk!
He wasnt going to teach me until I tried to break the wall. After that, I had no choice but to look at it.
Since I was doing it
Whoooong-!
Lets do it seriously!
I used Master Mons teachings to activate my modified body. My strengthened muscle fibers broke through their limitations as they were amplified by various hormones. On top of that, I applied the secondary reinforcement that consumed my level, which was the racial characteristic of the natural human race.
The amplification calcted by multiplication, not addition, made me thousands of times stronger than usual. However, it still wasnt enough. Up to this point, it was just a momentary boost of power. It was possible to add more if the preparation time was given. Earth, fire, wind, water, mind. Five spirits that were clinging to my body and sexually harassing me merged into one, drawing out the power of Captain Kang Han-soo.
Even the executive of the secondary education student council would be crushed in an instant
I added amplification to amplification.
Its slightly stiff.
My right hand, which was holding the zing Holy Sword Nucleon, trembled slightly. But it wasnt over yet.
ck Box. This wasnt purely my power, but when it came down to it, most of my power came from the teachings of the great Master Mon anyway. So lets move on to showing off my charm.
Whoooong-
The green me that zed out now settled in the de of the Holy Sword Nucleon. The swords shaking disappeared. It meant that harmony had been achieved like the principle of Yin and Yang. Of course, it couldnt be used at all in practice. There were no heroes or viins who would wait for a great skill that required more than a second to prepare.
Elise. This wall will never break, right?
Yeah. It is so hard that even a student who haspleted the higher education curriculum cannot destroy it. Its probably stronger than the walls of the inferno that locked up the demons. So you can rest assured.
Is that so?
In my opinion, the training ground walls werent that great, but if the manager here were so boastful about it, there would be no problem.
Dont you already have a technique that goes beyond skill?
I heard the Demon King murmur, his eyes wide open.
Its not as powerful as the life-risking Super Special Move that the Demon King mentioned earlier. It is just a by-product of the teachings of a great teacher and the know-how of a hero with extensive experience. Now, break!
I humbly answered, then I swung the Holy Sword with a powerful shout. This wasnt swordsmanship. The green light from the tip of the sword hit the wall-
Paang-!
The results came out quickly.
Ahh?! The mermaids pool is in that direction
Gurgling Gurgling!
As soon as Elises startled scream rang out, the pool water washed down like a flood into the training ground along with the mermaids.
Elise! You said it would never break?!
Theres a mistake in time and budget!
Right then, the Demon King Pedonar threw his right foot forward and hit the floor.
Crack- kwoong!
The cracked floor was pierced at once, and the pool water flowed to the 4th floor through the opened hole in the floor.
I dont know whats going on down there, but my condolences to the maids who have to take care of themselves.
Oh, my God! You smashed the floor?! It must be ten times stronger than the wall!
Elise, drenched in pool water, was mesmerized, forgetting that her ck underwear was visible. She did exin it well, though. Ten times stronger than the wall! If what she said was true, I wouldnt be able to destroy it with my current powers.
However, the Demon Lord Pedonar did it without any fuss. Even though his abilities were lower than mine now
Im bewildered that you broke the wall all of a suddenyou, the hero worthy of the Demon King. Do you want to learn it?
Youre talking too much.
I should learn it, right? Its a great power. With that, it would be possible to pull out the discs between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae of any of the faculty staff, including the Health Teacher.
Lets learn it for sure.
Chapter 159 - [? Round] Rankings Don’t Lie
Chapter 159 - [? Round] Rankings Dont Lie
I cant bear to exin how I learned it without tears. I only did weird things like dancing to a song or spinning on a slime with one toe for three days. Yet, I seeded in learning the Demon Kings new technique.
This is how you learn it, huh!
I didnt expect this unorthodox teaching method to work!
Its amazing. Human possibilities are always amazing. Even though youre a spirit, you also have the characteristics of the human race. Infinite life span and infinite possibilities. Ordinary men lose their potential in exchange for eternal life.
Demon King looked back at my masterpiece with a speechless look: a hollowed-out section of the dormitory floor. The training ground, which was still somehow fine, became a honeb in my training process. In the meantime, the servants built a temporary swimming pool for the mermaids next to the destroyed pool and cleaned out the flooded fourth floor.
I rented the MAX-ss amodation for a total of five days. However, the check-out date had been postponed indefinitely due to the need for manpower to y with the Demon King Pedonar, who had be the third wheel. Originally, it was what faculty staff should do. No, they were supposed to clean up his dead body after he was subjugated. Yet, the heroes seemed reluctant to meet the lively Demon King.
So they strictly handed him over to me.
I only know the trick.
I answered the Demon Kings admiration with humility. It wasnt even empty words. At first, I thought it would amplify my power by sacrificing my soul or experience. But here came another interesting result.
? Type: Race
? Name: Natural Spirit
? Rank: Unique
? Unique 1: Control experience.

My growth was reflected in my race. It appeared as a question mark rather than a mosaic because the Fantasy God and Scioscia, who produced the abilities, couldnt define it. But this is what the Earth called it: dark matter.
It cannot be observed with radio waves, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, or any known type of radiation like ordinary matter, but only with gravitational force. However, since it was a vast resource that ounted for 27% of the universe, it shouldnt be neglected. The Demon King was also born from dark matter.
Thats why he thought about using it.
Demon King continued to speak as if emphasizing it. I dont know how many times he had said it already.
Hero. Dark matter is a force that is not so easily affected, given only the gravitational force generated by massive-sized masses can bend space. I am nothing more than a slight push of dark matter with the weight of infinite life instead of gravity. Its very sensitive. Thats why it should be handled very carefully. Infinite means nothing more than that the rate of recovery is faster than the amount consumed. Nothing is truly eternal in this world.
Please stop talking about it.
I dont want to be med by my daughter, who has finally decided to get married, so I am quite desperate.
Oh my god
That cowardly demon never proposed to me. It was nothing more than a misunderstanding when the Demon King saw us tangled up naked and fiercely fighting. But I didnt tell him the truth. After all, I was able to obtain valuable information and a new technique thanks to his misunderstanding.
The weight of life
Dark matter was everywhere. We just cant see it because even light passes through it. Its existence was as obscure as the luck of the Holy Sword that slid from my hand to stab an annoying elf. However, it was always present around us.
There was no way that vast amounts of matter upying 27% of the universe would be concentrated in the corners of the gxy, right? We cant see nitrogen and oxygen even though we breathe every day. Until scientifically, the existence andposition were revealed; it was still the air.
The names of the spirits were called the Five Elements. This was also a misrepresentation.
Earth Spirit = Spirit of Solid
Fire Spirit = Spirit of Electromaic Waves
Wind Spirit = Spirit of Gas
Water Spirit = Spirit of Liquid
Mind Spirit = Spirit of Records
Strictly speaking, it was just that the ignorant fantasy barbarians had separated the spirits in a very simple way. They were the basic units that made up the universe. The five major elements were alsomonly used in the days of Aristotle, to, and Socrates.
You are from the science-learned Earth, so you understood it quickly. Its a big deal since everyone else got stuck at the exnation of the dark matter.
Hmm? Have you tried to teach someone before?
Of course. Even though youre my son-inw, I couldnt have taught you so easily, could I? I tried to teach my loyal men, but they were frustrated with my exnation of the dark matter, though.
I see.
It wasnt such a big secret. No one understood or used it properly. The Demon King, who had been whining somentably, looked at me as if he were amazed.
What?
Howe youre still alive?
Are you telling me to die?! Its unpleasant! Apologize right now!
Hoho! Who told you to die? Its a genuine question. Although the power has been weakened, how can you still be alive after firing off this technique sequentially? Its even impossible for me.
Its thanks to having a great teacher.
Teacher! What kind of person is he to be so well versed in dark matter even when I havent yet exined it fully?
He is such a great man!
Master Mon. The more I learn, the scarier and greater he was! Dark matter was only affected by gravity. Through science fiction novels and science magazines, I learned this fact, and the Demon King, who had lived for a long time, learned this by an idental observation experience.
But it was wrong. Master Mons rhythm also interfered with dark matter. Of course, not the usual Master Mon. He was always fooling around, so if dark matter ran rampant every time he did that, the Fantasy Continent would have split in two.
I had observed that subtle change in the past. When Lanuvel, who pretended to be cute, annoyed Master Mon, the teacher, who had reached the limit of his patience, once couldnt control his rage. He bit Lanuvel with all his might. It was a mystery how he bit her, but it came to mind as I listened to the Demon Kings exnation.
And the attempt was extremely sessful.
Well! It took me seven-hundreds years to form the perfect theory of this art. But you finished in seven days.
Anyone can do it if they meet a great teacher.
I answered humbly. No, this is true. I know better than anyone that Kang Han-soo was an ordinary citizen living on Earth. I wasnt a social misfit on Earth-like Sieg, but I didnt stand out in the Fantasy World like a fish out of water. I could tell by looking back at my 1st ythrough. I made a fuss about being hurt even if I fell, was scared by Alexs threats and used all kinds of dirty tricks.
Of course, I also knew that I had seeded. As the old saying goes, if there are no tigers in the mountains, the foxes are kings, right? With an average of fifty points, it was only natural for me to be more sessful in the Fantasy World than the social misfits with less than twenty points.
Would the nature of the Earths misfits change if they moved to the Fantasy World and gained some power? Of course, it would work just fine at first. Since they had washed their identities in a new world and gained special power that others didnt have. They would overflow with dreams and hopes of starting anew.
But it was only temporary.
Its a pretty harsh assessment. They are people who have been selected because they have their talents.
Elise grunted after reading my mind again. After the story of her grandfather came out, she revealed herself quite frankly. A student candidate. Not even a student, let alone a teacher. She became a maid at her flowery age to get her qualifications
Ah! Dont get me wrong. Sleeping with Cadet Kang Han-soo is in my self-interest. Im going to brag about it to an older sister I know.
Stop reading my thoughts.
Im sorry for that, but its simr to hearing people even if I dont want to. I can pretend I didnt hear it.
Thats even worse!
Anyway, the bizarre training ended today. Since I wasnt an immortal being like the Demon King, I couldnt follow it just like him, so I went with a hybrid. Demon King Pedonar used the weight of life instead of gravity, and instead of gravity, Im going with the Mon Wave. Instead of giving up power, it reduced the burden and aftereffects on the soul and secured a short burst power and durability rate.
It was a pretty good achievement.
My son-inw, where are you going?
The Demon King asked me a question as I headed to the front door of the dormitory. This person seemed to n to stay here like a bedbug until the end of the festival. Next to him was the Demon Guard, who had been released from the training ground. A white maids apron with frills covered her naked body.
I could feel Elises malice. The person in charge said, It is natural to be humiliated for someone that failed to protect the Demon King, but it seems that she didnt feel humiliated at all
No, she became the Demon Kings maid.
Its time for me to move. The arrow that mistook me as the Demon King has disappeared, and the promised period is over, so Im going to avenge myself.
Avenge? You?
Cant I avenge myself?
No, its strange that you are more like a Demon King than the actual Demon King. Didnt you already kill them?
I cant believe he said an S-ss hero was a good fit for being a Demon King! That was a very disrespectful remark. Anyway
No way? I killed them, but they came back to life.
So, youre going to kill them again because theyre alive? Its not what I, the apex of all demons, would say, but why dont you let go of your resentment and forget about it?
It was self-defense back then.
As soon as I opened the front door and walked out the door, I stumbled.
Bang-!
The hard floor protected by the system was destroyed.
AhGraduate Student Kang Han-soo. Please pay a little attention to us who have to clean up after youthe work is increasing, not decreasing
I think I heard Elises sighing voice, but it was probably only my imagination.
Since I learned it, I should use it right away.
Im more a practical person than a theoretical one. Knowledge learned from books is empty as barbarians stuck in a cave, talking about enlightenment while discussing the universe they had never seen. Howrge the sun truly is, how far and how long the stars in the night sky have traveled to reach Earth
They dont know anything.
I wont make that kind of mistake.
I have to work hard because I have an average talent. So if the effort is cumbersome, I have to practice little by little. Just like right now.
Bang-!
I went vertically down to the 3rd floor through the 4th floor with that momentum.
What, what is it?!
Whats going on all of a sudden?
Huh?!
The ceiling copsed!
The A-ss heroes who found me were shouting in astonishment. And, like an automatic reflex, they began to shout, Its the Demon King!
But I was faster.
Pang! Pang! Pang!
A very unusual crashing sound was heard. The soft wave that I learned from Master Mon lightly stirred my hands and gave me a squishy feeling. How to express it?
I slightly touched the dark matter. But the results werent that slight. Dark matter, which made up 27% of the universe, wasnt evenly distributed. But it was everywhere. What if I move this? As if rolling a bowling ball to knock down the pins. At this time, people aim for a strike with a technique such as spinning it.
But, instead, I rocked the bowling alley. It wasnt enough for the building to copse, but it was enough to knock down a bowling pin.
Ah!
There were a total of four lucky people who found me. The three of them couldnt even open their mouths, and their upper bodies were gone. One seeded in screaming as he died. The maid who was cleaning the hallway ignored it.
Good morning, S-ss hero.
Hmm! Good morning. Pretty Miss Grade A Maid!
Obviously, she was going to do that, but she was so kind that I had no choice but to greet her back. Thats right! This is normal! For an S-ss warrior to be a Demon King, there was a certain degree of disrespect. This isnt something Im bragging about.
? Score: 114760
? Rank: 1
Scores and rankings dont lie. The fact that points were umted even though I was confined to the dormitory and only breathing was proof that I was unintentionally doing a great job as a hero. Graduates who call this S-ss hero the Demon King were social misfits blinded by envy and jealousy. Twisted seeds born byck of affection.
Seven days ago, I was forced to defend myself from them as the Demon King. So, I made many small mistakes, such as breaking strange parts of their spines, and it was a big wound to my fragile heart. But that ended today, too. The time hase to avenge that umted resentment. I will fight against them without sumbing!
Oh! Your score has gone down.
However, the score was very good to start with. I think I had to diligently pursue my revenge to reach second ce. There would be no time to rest if I were to reach the girls dormitory before sunset.
Chapter 160 - [? Round] Rankings Don’t Lie
Chapter 160 - [? Round] Rankings Dont Lie
His ability isnt a kaargh?!
What the hell is this?
Run! Somebody, call the teacherkugh!
I didnt touch the basement of the dormitory crowded with F-sses. I wasnt rude enough to steal a goblins woman away. However, it took a very long time to deal with the 1st to 3rd floors above the ground. If the graduates had cowardly united and attacked me with the power of friendship, I would have been rounded up, but surprisingly, they were scattered.
And you guys are still heroes?
I also didnt forget to ask that as I put my hand on their lumbar spine. I think thats why it took more time.
Thud.
But where there is a beginning, there is also an end. It ended with a graduate hiding under a changing room shelf hanging a sign saying she was taking a shower in the public bath on the first floor of the womens dormitory.
There is no progress.
Dont these social misfits learn? We met once about a week ago. At that time, a semi-forced defeat was arranged so that I was stuck in a MAX-ss dormitory. And this time, there was a much higher chance of defeat.
It was very simple logic. The target they were analyzing was the No. 1 S-ss. On the other hand, the number of graduates I had to deal with was just over 10,000, if both men and women werebined. It started when I was alreadygging in information warfare. A week was enough time to figure out even the color of my underwear.
I was wary of it and expected an unfavorable fight, but I reflected on it when I realized that I had overlooked theirx attitude. Everyone had the same amount of time, but not everyone used it 100%. It was based on the standard for a diligent citizen of the Earth.
I overlooked the fact that they were social misfits left behind on Earth.
Or are they looking down on me?
Since the world revolves around me, I will win somehow! So maybe they took a week off due to that attitude. Yet to me, they were nothing but dust because the time and effort it took to knock them down were simr to cleaning the dust off the floor.
Kang Han-soo. I was worried because I hadnt seen you for a week, but I see I was so foolish to worry.
Factoria sighed and came out of the shabby ss A dormitory.
That look suits you.
She looked very messed up.
I dont think thats what the person who decorated the hallways of the womens dormitory with blood and bones would say. I am a magician and businessman. I have to somehow proceed with my business and research even though I was suddenly got kidnapped to the festivalare you listening?
What?
You were talking to me.
Was I?
Yes!
Im kidding. I heard you right. I heard a man had pushed you?
I didnt say that at all?! How do you twist it to get such an interpretation and result?!
I closed my eyes and looked for signs. This was an issue that I must have pointed out right before moving from the mens dormitory to the womens: cleaning up the further trouble. Of course, in the end, they would be resurrected again. Still, it was necessary to weaken their will to retaliate by wiping out those who misunderstood me as the Demon King and weakening their abilities.
Factoria. Who were the candidates I asked for before?
I asked her to pick two graduates from the womens dormitory who would rank 1st to 4th ce above me.
Ah! About thatI thought it was a joke, and I didnt pay much attention to ithoho! I mean it. Dont you know modesty? Modesty! So please put down that right hand that went up like an automatic reflex!
Whats wrong with my right hand? People might raise their hands to scratch their hair because its itchy all of a sudden. Im not an asshole whod hit a woman just because Im in a bad mood. How can I be seen as a good hero if you say that?! Are you going to make me upset?!
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The second and third female graduates stayed out overnight while burning Factoriaspetitive spirit. It meant that they werent swept away with the rest of the dust. I felt a little relieved.
I couldnt tell the difference because their skills were all about the same, but Im d to hear that they arent here.
About the same?
Isnt it obvious?
How can a novice with an average experience of three years be able to scratch a veteran S-ss hero who had gone through everything before and after? No wonder Im overwhelmingly stronger than them. And this gap would continue to widen until the day I return as a citizen of the beautiful green Earth.
Whatlooking at this scene, I dont think its wrong to say that theyre all too easy.
Factoria looked disgusted at the hallway.
It seems to have been sorted out, so Im leaving. Ah! Factoria. Did you say youre currently in second ce? Go down to the third ce. No, stay safe in fourth ce. Keep in mind. I really wont forgive you if you get caught after staying in the first or second ce.
Yes. Dont worry.
*
After that, it went pretty smoothly. The first ce in the female dormitory was told not to umte any more points, and the second and third were working hard to umte points outside. The mens side went smoothly as well. Here too, I should have selected the friends with the highest scores in advance, but my hand slipped a little. So I randomly picked two that looked simr to a porter. Wasnt life more about luck than skill?
The two lucky men rolled their eyes and looked at me with an expression like, Why us? So I gave them a chance to ask questions.
Porter A, Porter B. Ill raise you to the top! If you have any questions, raise the hand you want to be cut off.
The B-ss graduates were shivering despite the warm weather. I was a little worried because I thought their bodies were too weak, but they were quick-witted enough.
No questions? Great. You are great friends to be able to recognize an S-ss hero.
Their ability to see my true self was enough to qualify them for the secondary education curriculum. What to do next?
Graduate Student Kang Han-soo. Are you going out for a long-term stay with these B-ss people?
It was to report to Elise, the maid.
I didnt have to report it because I wanted to lower my score, but that wasnt the case for the two porters who would be excellent secondary education students responsible for the future of the Fantasy Continent. They couldnt lose even one point.
Demon King Pedonar!
Oh, my God! Hes really in the dorm!
The two porters who followed me to the MAX-ss dormitory were shocked to see the Demon King reading a book and lyingfortably on the soft sofa. Only then did the Demon King notice that guests had arrived.
Cough! Wee, heroes! I am the apex of demons who lives in the dormitory of the fearsome heroes, the Demon King Pedonar! If you have any business with me, you must defeat the house owner first.
Why was he handing over the work of the Demon King to me?
Porters, dont worry about that person who resembles the Demon King. There is nomon sense for a Demon King in pink pajamas who reads adult magazines in the heroes hideout, right? Lets just think about the score.
Thats right?
Is that so? Haha
The porters seemed to agree with me.
Just trust and follow me. Then you can be the strongest on the. After that, you should set up a harem with pretty girls and be respectful to your parents. Me? Just dont mind me. I am just an extra who will be weaker than you in about five years.
We moved to the stable of the dormitorys hanging garden. It was questionable why there was a unicorn that only carried virgins, but the blue wyvern next to it could be used. The porters who followed were stunned.
How many beautiful mermaids and elves are there?
Why is there such a big gap with our amodations?
I didnt like how they looked around like vige bumpkins, but I was also really pathetic in the 1st ythrough. After all, I couldnt take my eyes off Lanuvels ass, who was pretending to be cute. So lets understand them with a mind like a frog working his way out of the well!
Excuse me, heroes. Do you know how to drive a wyvern? All you need is a third ss license. Unicorns dont need any license, but they insist on only carrying virgins even if they dieof course, I have a First ss license.
The elf who managed the stables asked for my license.
Is that necessary?
Ah! So you dont know about the license. Then its difficult to drive right nowits fine. Even though this wyvern is a bit small, it can carry up to five people. If you just tell me where youre going, I will drive it for you.
Then please take care of these two.
What about you, hero?
Me? I dont ride cheap cars driven by other people.
Pardon?
My father has me!
Green Cake, flirting with mermaids and elves in the air garden, spotted me and began to chase. Then he suddenly intervened in the conversation. He was now in human form, but actually, he was a green dragon. The wyvern that couldnt exceed the size of a small hut even when fully grown was born insignificant, but Green Cake was different.
A true dragon. Even as a healthy child, he was already huge enough to beat an adult. It would be easy to carry thousands of humans on his back. And I didnt even need a license.
Green Cake, you must only look.
Ah! Are you taking me with you?
Yes. I have a friend I want to introduce to you.
If he is Fathers friend, I think he must be a very cool person.
I used to be a bit bothered about being called Father every time he spoke, but now wasnt the time to discuss such trivial things. I focused my mind. I deliberately didnt inform them in advance.
If I failed to summon my friend, I must create the wings of a righteous hero and fly away myself. That would create setbacks to my n.
Power resonated toward the sky. It wasnt the power of chaos. My smell. Like the radio frequency from a station, it shot across the Festival Continent. That friend would hear it if he werent sleeping peacefully.
And there would be a reaction.
Bluuuuuuu!
Uniiiii!
The wyvern and unicorn tied to the stables brayed excitedly. Their sharp instincts felt it.
Father. Something ising this way! Very fast!
Green Cake looked up at the sky and spoke in exasperation. Like the two flying beasts, he felt it with his instinct.
Here hees.
Wheeeeing~!
A typhoon hit, and the bright sky turned dark in an instant as a huge jet-ck wall fell in front of the dormitory.
Kwoong!
The earths axis shook. It was also because the distance was too close, but it was so huge that it was impossible to see the whole scene at a nce. But I greeted him with pleasure.
Hey, its been forty years, hasnt it? How have you been?
Chaoooo.
The jet-ck wall answered me in a calm tone when I asked how he had been doing. But the atmosphere was shaken by his heavy cry.
Noebius. Will you join us again? No, thats a pointless question. Youre here to do that, arent you?
Chaoooo!
The young Dragon King Noebius let out a powerful roar in affirmation. The maids with excellent abilities like Elise survived, but most elves and mermaids, who didnt, fell to the floor or sank to the bottom of the water as their legs and tail fins lost strength.
How about the two porters?
Noebius?! Dont tell me, the Five Great Disasters?!
Mr. Number 1! We wont try to defeat the Five Great Disasters, right?!
They didnt faint, but they panicked.
Why are you making such a fuss like a novice who has never caught the Five Great Disasters? Everyone has one or two stuffed animals at home, right?
No.
Not at all.
I nced at the two who gave me such pathetic answers. There was still a chance to change things. Wouldnt it be better to take the second and third ce of the male dorm, which should have resurrected by now, in both hands and bring them here? But as expected, they were quick-witted.
At that time, I had strong colleagues by my side!
I dont even have a Holy Sword right now, so I cant even use my special move!
The two porters hurriedly made excuses. They honestly confessed that they couldnt defeat the Five Great Disasters alone without the power of friendship or a beginners automatic weapon.
Whatokay. No one is strong from the start, after all.
Of course, I had been pretty strong since I was a baby. The savages and empires of Fantasy who tried to kill this cute baby recognized by all the people of the Northern Continent were soundly beaten.
Anyway, I looked down at the elf tamer who was sitting on the floor. Did he still have enough determination to control a wyvern? Fortunately, he hadnt fainted.
Did you say your drivers license is the First ss? I dont know how great it is and how good your ability is, but dont miss Noebius and follow us.
W-where are you going?
Thats a very good question.
A ce where the chickens live.
Chaooooooo
Most of the grudges against the angels that tormented my dearrade Noebius were settled. But it wasnt 100%. That was important.
It piled up again after calcting it as welfare for forty years.
Chapter 161 - [? Round] City of Angels
Chapter 161 - [? Round] City of Angels
The Dragon King Noebius belonged to a superior breed. Although notparable to his size in his twilight, which was more like a mountain range in size, in his youth, Noebius was overwhelminglyrger than the average dragon.
Greee~
Chaoooo!
G-gre
Green Cake, who returned to his original dragon form, was crushed immediately while pretending to be close to Noebius. Standing next to Noebius, he finally looked like a proper Hatchling.
Lets go, my friend. To start the second half.
Chaooo!
The reason why I targeted the angels. Its not just because it was calcted by how much welfare they owed. ording to the information I had previously heard from Miss Trainee Teacher, the secondary education curriculum was about dealing with angels: to doubt whether they were truly right and deal with the angels believed as good and even to kill them if necessary.
That was what the secondary education curriculum focused on.
I had a good idea here. Even in school, model students with good grades had prior learning. While others were solving elementary school problems, they read middle school textbooks. I dont think that method is necessarily good. However, in a broader sense, prior learning is also a part of study. If so
Prior learning = Good grades
Secondary Education Curriculum = Angel
Good grades = Angel
Heres a very simple form! The two porters, who were chosen not by grades but by their appearance, were already low in scores and rankings. Special measures were required to bring them up quickly. Of course, there were ways to do it slowly. But I cant just hold their hands for two whole years, can I? I also have a private life, and things to prepare before I returned to Earth.
My friend. Do you remember the ce?
Chaooo!
My dearpanion Noebius answered faithfully. I didnt know where the angels lived. How could you find a city floating in the air with no discernable milestones even though youve been there before? The sky was much too wide.
The form for the surface area of a sphere is:
A=4r^2
4(3.14) times the radius squared.
Assuming that the radius of the festival is R, the search range for the City of Angels floating in the air is 4(R+)*(R+). Even more, the sky exists in 3D, not 2D. That only makes it moreplicated.
Theres another reason why I cant find it. The city was different from geostationary satellites. What I mean is, although satellites orbit the Earth, they are always in the same position unless they are intentionally moved using propents. If it floats above Seoul, Korea, it will always be above Seoul, South Korea. If it were above Washington, in the United States, it would always be above Washington, in the United States. And in Moscow, Russia if it were in Moscow, Russia
Its like this. But the City of Angels moves freely. Lets say that after I found it at point A, and I wrote on the ground, The City of Angels is up here! Next time, I find the mark on the ground, the City of Angels couldnt be found even if I vertically break through the atmosphere and stratosphere right to the tenth sphere.
Because it has already moved elsewhere.
Hmm? Do you also know?
At that moment, the Crowned Wind Spirit, who had monopolized my armpits, whispered smugly. After all, the wind blew everywhere. No matter how tightly the City of Angels was hidden, it couldnt escape the wind.
What if you really wanted to avoid it? You must go to space.
Dude! You should have told me that sooner! Do you want to get kicked out of my armpits that you sniff every day?
When asked if he wanted to be kicked out, the Wind Spirit was startled and shook his head violently from side to side. It was just like the look on the face of a ssmate who had lost the cigarette he had worked so hard to buy as a minor at the convenience store.
Did it mean Im like a drug mule? I understood the nuance of I will work hard in the future! from the Wind Spirit, who grabbed desperately onto my armpit hair as the rest of the spirits did the same.
Earth, fire, wind, water, mind. The five energies were different in personality. But no matter what personality or inclination they had, the result was the same. This was because when one guy rebelled, the other four shouted, Exile that cheeky guy and share what they had between the four of us!
It was such a tearful and harmonious friendship.
Chaoooo.
Oh! Were already here!
While I was keeping the heads of the Crowned Spirits tight, mypanion Noebius found the home of our evil foes. Should I call it the City of the Azure Sky? It was like sushi made of ck rice. On top of the round rock, the surface of the earth was thinly sliced and raised. Was the city in the center the wasabi?
Ding, ding, ding!
When I visited in the past, the angels on guard were terrified and panicked, but now only the calming bells sounded out And many angels appeared like a flock of doves. Their weapons were basic, and they were wearing armor that thoroughly covered their bodies except for their protruding wings. They were wearing helmets that looked vaguely like gas masks, so I couldnt tell who was who.
It waspletely different from before when they believed only in their immunity and the general attribute of their divine skill, walking around naked.
Friend. Have you been diligently avenging yourself for 40 years?
Chaooo.
It seems that all the cities and viges where the angels live had been poked around. If so, wasnt the city in front of me a dessert that was put off because it was a little too much for Noebius alone?
Chao?
Ah, my friend, Noebius. Dont fight right away. This time, the goal is to help them grow
Chaoooo!
Great! You can even increase your poison resistance!
Noebiuss venomous breath rushed towards the City of Angels. The confronting angels blocked it with shields and magic, but they could notpletely block the breath specialized in mass ughter.
First, the poison gas. Some angels crashed into the city, buzzing like sprayed mosquitoes as their lungs were corroded. Then, corrosive lethality! Even the legendary armor quickly turned into little more than a tin can if it contacted the poison. The City of Angels, which looked delicious like the sushi picture on the menu, was no exception. In an instant, it turned into something that had been soaked in too much soy sauce.
Anyway.
p!
I created the wings of the righteous hero. It had been a really long time since I fought with the Old Prince in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on Earth. My opponent now was these bird-brained guys full of hypocrisy. My righteous passion red up, but before that
B-ss friends. Its time to act cool!
I flew to the wyvern which had been struggling to follow while looking only at Noebiuss tail, and I took care of the porters first. Todays goal was to upgrade both B-sses to A-sses. Wouldnt it be natural to be promoted after ripping a hundred pairs of white wings off the angels full of hypocrisy?
Im looking forward to it.
W-wait! First of all, lets talk with the angels- eaaaaargh~?!
Oh my! My foot slipped.
Porter A stumbled on my tripped foot, falling. Screaming and rolling on the wyverns back, he fell into the heart of the City of Angels. It seemed that angels were eager to attack him in the air, but he would be able to barely block it and even counterattack if he were a hero. So nothing to worry about.
Next
Huh?! Why am I~~~?!
Porter B, who remained silent, also tripped over my foot and fell. Where is the why? in the mistake?
It was a mistake because it happened in the blink of an eye. Even though Im an elementary school student who has been paid over ten times, I, as an S-ss warrior with dignity, take my honor very seriously. Why else would I stumble?
It was obviously a mistake.
Hero! What shall I do?!
Blu?!
The pale-tired elf tamer questioned me while holding the wyverns reins. The blue wyvern seemed to feel the same way as the owner.
Dont get caught up in the fuss of waiting and go back first. Green Cake will bring those two back to the dormitory.
Greee!
Green Cake, seemingly untired, answered vigorously. The wyvern was originally a small dragon specialized only in flying, so it was able to barely chase after Noebius. However, that wasnt the case for the green dragon. His attribute was life. He specialized in recovery and regeneration. Therefore, he possessed one of the highest stamina and vitality among all dragon species.
Though just because he was full of stamina didnt mean he would fly faster.
You watch Noebius fight.
Greee!
Surrounded by despicable angels, Noebius didnt avoid their attacks in any way but confronted them head-on. The effective attacks caused the pitch-ck scales to fall and blood to flow, but this dragon didnt care. Truly, the image of a king who never heard of the word retreat!
Crack!
His form as he chewed on an appetizing angel with a plump body of armor and weapons like it was gum was also truly outstanding.
A good dragon fights like that. Can you copy him?
G, Greee
Tsk, tsk. You dont have enough self-confidenceyou son of a bitch! An S-ss warrior is talking. How dare a vulgar bird-brain arrogantly intervene!
As I was teaching the young dragon who would be the second Dragon King, I let off a sharp blow to the disrupter who stabbed at me from behind with a spear. I didnt even need my hands to twist the chickens head off.
Dark matter. Just a slight touch broke between the angels spine.
? Score: 100039
? Rank: 1
I barely lowered my score to five digits! This damn angel cant hold on for even a second before dying!
However, it wasnt a very pessimistic situation. Its been confirmed that angels give a lot of points, as I guessed. The score assigned to the two porters would be greatly reduced due to the performance of the dear Dragon King, but they couldnt be filled up with the first drink. It wasnt just today.
If you build up your resistance to poison, youll seed.
The two porters were diligently running away. Rather than knocking down the angels, they wereining of breathing difficulties due to the poison consuming the city. But there was nothing to worry about. Even if they died, they would resurrect in the dormitory.
I looked away from the two and observed the war situation.
Chaoooo-!
Huh?!
Stop him- Kaargh?!
Ahhh~!?
Thanks to the two porters running away and dispersing the angels power, Noebius was doing just fine. I was going to prepare to umte points if I thought it was very difficult, but this friend was a natural fighter. He instilled fear in the angels and constantly shook them.
Brutally, violently, mercilessly, strongly! He attacked not only the body but also their minds. It was quite effective. After all, it was difficult to withstand him with the poor mental strength of an angel who only has averagebat experience.
Then
sh-!
A sh of light prated Noebiuss body. It didnt prate through to the other side, but it was the first fatal blow for the Dragon King, who only had his scales peeled off so far. And it wasnt just one shot.
sh! sh! sh!
The light firing from the city was considerably powerful as it blurred by.
Chaooo-!
Dragon King Noebius was too big to be immediately killed, but if he had been any other ordinary dragon, he would have already been knocked down by the attack. The culprit who shot the light appeared.
It wasnt an angel.

Saint.
His race was Super Human, and his skillposition was splendid. He was a silver-haired young man with a soft silver tint full of sacredness, and his attire was a student uniform unsuited for saints.
Who is he?
Are you going to kill me?
It seemed like a lot of penalty points woulde as a gift set. Lets ask about his identityter.
Chapter 162 - [? Round] Solo is Heaven! What’s a Couple?
Chapter 162 - [? Round] Solo is Heaven! Whats a Couple?
The dark matter application method taught by the Demon King Pedonar and Master Mons slime waves were frighteninglypatible. Technically, there were a few ways to move dark matter. It was a great advantage to touch things like this without much cost unless I made bold moves at the cost of life like the Demon King.
First, take it easy.
With the wings of the righteous hero spread wide, I began to descend. The saint pointed at me brazenly, and the light from his fingertips flew straight at me.
sh! sh!
This beam was quite powerful to take naked. Even if the ck Box were activated and my body wrapped around with divinity, this beam couldnt be blocked or reflected because it also held the divine attribute.
It was fast! But I didnt avoid it. Instead, I touched a tiny amount of dark matter floating around me.
Why was dark matter called that? Although it upied 30% of the universe, its identity hadnt been properly identified, but it blocked light perfectly like a wall. Of course, there wasnt that much dark matter here.
Ssssst-
However, it can result in diffused reflection. Like raindrops or light against a prism, the refracted and separated rays sparkled and scattered in all directions, twinkling with rainbow light. Some of them touched my body, but only after the power had be small that it was negligible.
Where did he get that cheap trick-!
The saint, noticing that the beam wasnt working, reacted nervously before summoning a long stick with a blunt tip. A cane.
Swordsmanship, fencing,bat skill, martial arts, spearswhat would happen when a Saint couldnt even reach MAX, which was the maximum in the Normal Realm, let alone the Transcendental Realm, grabs a weapon? The answer came right away.
Pat-!
He suddenly disappeared. No-
Hes fast!
The Transcendental Realm Skill High-Speed wasnt for decoration. That speed that went beyond the limit was superior to any other technique. What would a turtle do when it learned a great martial art?
Something that even an ordinary rabbit couldnt catch up with. Of course, I wasnt an ordinary turtle. With a lot of exaggeration and pretentiousness, should I say that Im like the ck Tortoise of the North? I couldnt move as fast as the Saint who was calibrated at High-Speed Z, but my bodys reflexes, which were constantly tuned by Master Mons teaching, went well beyond human limits.
I wasnt slow enough to be beaten unterally.
Wheeing-
In particr, the righteous wings were the fastest. With its pointed tips sprouting like thorns on a rose stem, the wings were a deadly weapon. It tore past the air resistance and stabbed the Saint. However, it was blocked by the simple cane he wielded.
No, his speed was already a weapon. I could feel my wings rupture, but I didnt have enough time to care about it. It was too much to respond with dark matter. There was no time to imitate Master Mons wave, the trigger.
However, I couldnt easily lose my wings. I could just regenerate it, but when the iron and phosphorus that make up the wings were insufficient, my bones would weaken. Weakening the bones that support my body while moving at this high speed would be the same asmitting suicide.
Pop!
The next best choice was the Holy Sword Nucleon. I dont know how good the opponents cane was, but this was also the final weapon made to defeat the Demon King. It was said that it was made from the stars.
It wouldnt be pushed back by the trivial weapon of a Saint in a school uniform.
Scratch-
It wouldnt be pushed much. Although it was a cane that could withstand his high-speed movement, it wasnt durable enough to withstand the power of Nucleon, the Holy Sword that existed to y the Demon King.
There was nomunication between us. It was a situation that broke the speed of sound so that our words wouldnt reach each other. Besides, we werent close enough to speak. But we reached each other with only our eyes and expressions.
My cane!
Next time, Ill cut your spine!
I wont forgive you!
Shut up and give me your cervical spine!
The saint who lost his cane immediately summoned another weapon. This time, it was a dazzling, tinum-colored staff. But now, he approached me cautiously. He circled me at high speed, looking for a gap.
But he wasnt as good as I was.
Since it was an aerial battle in the sky above the City of Angels, I could catch up with the saints movement. The saints efficiency was extremely low because he ran with both feet in the air without the help of magic or wings. And yet, it was still hard to follow.
However
Are you stupid?
In the chaotic situation that caused my eyeballs to twitch, I opened my mouth and rolled my tongue, which I had been holding back since earlier. Thats how much spare time I was allowed.
And did I have another second to spare?
Paang-!
This means that I had secured more than one second to concentrate and move dark matter. Widely dispersed dark matter struck at the Saint like a fly swatter. The density was so low that it was impossible to generate great physical force, but it caused enough damage to the person already running at lightspeed.
Just like how raindrops would be like bullets if you ran at them fast enough.
Kuugh-?!
The saint fell. I didnt miss the opening and threw in an extra hit.
sh!
But the opponent wasnt a beginner either. He instinctively avoided my attack even though he was distraught by the attack. Then he learned. That there was something invisible attacking and defending. He was different from the old dragon, who became stronger by breathing as the years passed and degenerated into a pathetic old man with dementia. As a Saint, he had the judgment and analytical skills that matched his abilities.
What a nuisance!
My dark matter wasnt a long-range technique. The developer, Demon Lord Pedonar, could do it, but I had to apply Master Mons teachings to move it. So, physical contact was essential. This didnt mean that long-distance strikes were impossible, but theycked the power to inflict effective damage on those who entered the Transcendental Realm.
p!
I moved the righteous heros wings and followed him. However, as he was determined to retreat with High-Speed Z, there was no way for me to catch up. What was I going to do about this?
There was nothing impossible in the world.
Chaooo-!
Huh?!
Grasp! Snap!
Though the Saints speed was very fast, this one was huge. The wounded Dragon King Noebius kept an eye on the culprit who inflicted a fatal blow while dealing with the angels. And then his opportunity came. He opened his fortress-liked mouth wide enough to swallow him in one mouthful and snatched the Saint away.
It was like catching a sleek fish with a wide.
He was already inside his snout when the Saint noticed the approach of the Dragon King and tried to escape. The Dragon King Noebius took down Divinity ZZs defense, reflex, and resistance with only the power of his jaw. It was a disappointing moment for me, who had plenty of questions for the saint.
Whoosh-!
A battle between the Transcendental Realms was on the scale of being a disaster. The sushi-shaped city floating in the sky was no exception. The high-leveled angels were protecting the entire city with their divinity, but they were swept away by the aftermath of the two beings who fought at the speed of sound.
Oh my!
There were still two porters in the City of Angels that began to fall. Even if they died here, they would be resurrected in the dormitory anyway, but then what would have been the point of bringing them here in the first ce?
I should have eaten that Saint!
The saint in school uniform was ripped by teeth bigger than his body and then disappeared into the stomach of the Dragon King. I had to save the two porters from losing their profits
Thank you! You saved my life!
What a great dragon you are!
Greee~!
Green Cake flew with one human in each hand amid the crashing city. The porters were covered in the sticky venom of Noebius and the white feathers of angels. They were smiling brightly with the joy of life despite their pathetic appearance. They also praised Green Cake.
At this point, I might say a word of praise to him for doing well, but I moved on calmly because he would only get spoiled by being ttered. Early education was important.
Did your score and ranking go up a bit?
I went straight to the result. It was meaningful to help Noebius settle the grudge umted by the angels, but the real purpose was this.
Yeah! It has gone up a lot.
Im currently in 28th ce!
The two porters who were outside the top 100 made it to the top 30 at once. Not only that. Until when I dropped them from the wyvern - cough! I mean, until when they fell, the porters name tags were still silver, but now they were shing gold. It was proof that they have been promoted to A-ss!
It was a radical development.
Cool! I was right.
It was correct to learn the secondary education curriculum in advance. The elementary education curriculum was against demons, and the second one was against angels. And just as the higher education curriculum was divided into science and liberal arts, the heroes choose either the demons or the angels as their allies. Theres no collegewas there?
I had no idea what major they would teach.
Where are we going tomorrow?
Im looking forward to tomorrow, too!
The two porters, who were like pigs being dragged to the ughterhouse until they fell from the wyverns back, grew stronger. They giggled like fools as they looked at the golden name tag. That seemed to be better than the rankings and scores to them.
Tomorrow? What do you mean tomorrow?
Pardon?
What?
The two porters didnt understand and asked me with a look as if they had a question mark above their head.
Ah! Did I say too much? I acknowledged my mistakes and intuitively taught them to understand easily.
Our adventure begins now!
Chaooooo!
The S-ss warriors adventures, full of broad quibbles and unconventional free service, must continue.
It continued.
***
Our adventure came to an end after touring all of the cities identified by Noebius. I wanted to find more, but I couldnt help it because the angels abandoned their cities and disappeared after hearing the news. It seemed to take about five days.
Graduate Student Kang Han-soo. I think you are seriously mistaken about the secondary education curriculum
Elise, who had pushed Saint H out and helped me from bath to massage, spoke as if it was ridiculous.
Mistaken? Me?
This information was exactly what I heard from a secret friend. Dont tell me, did Miss Trainee Teacher
The secondary education curriculum is the first time you wille into contact with an angel.
It means to kill, right?
It was the same in the elementary education curriculum. The fantasy savages who kidnapped the good citizens of Earth had ordered them to kill the Demon King they hadnt yet met. Whats different about that?
It is true that angels have a hypocritical attitude and tendencies, but they are not a race that must be unconditionally hostile like the demons. The secondary education curriculum aims to meet the angels, build friendships, and sessfully negotiate for the benefit of both parties. Its not about killing every single one on sight
But those bird-brained things attacked me first?
Wouldnt it be unreasonable to be friendly with them?
It doesnt make sense! I cant believe that the angels who support the heroes attacked first! Theres a chance that there was a misunderstanding-
Ding-dong!
Someone rang the doorbell of the MAX-ss dormitory. Who came to this ce where ess was strictly restricted without my permission? It couldnt be an ordinary visitor. Elise looked at me and asked for permission.
Do you know who it is?
Yeah. I think that person came here for the previous issue.
The previous issue?
I didnt even guess there were too many points in the recent adventure.
Its the student council president of the secondary education center. This is a secret, but the vice president of the student council was her boyfriend.
Chapter 163 - [? Round] I’m ready
Chapter 163 - [? Round] Im ready
Who was the vice president of the student council? This time again, I had no idea.
Excuse me. A student from the secondary education center went missing during a field investigation. ording to eyewitness ounts, it was said that he disappeared while fighting with an intimidating man who caused numbness just by making eye contact with him.
She was a very intelligent and beautiful woman. She wore a monocle and a well-groomed brown suit that fit her curved figure and calm expression.
Then you came to the wrong person.
Those who made eye contact recognized me as a pushover. There were countless irrationalities and absurdities that I experienced since the 1st ythrough due to my appearance being as gentle as a rabbit. How much inner struggle had it caused for me?
What is your rtionship with Noebius, the Dragon King?
Ha! It seems that you underestimate me because I look naive! Auntie! Do you think Ill obediently answer your question?
A-Auntie?!
Wrinkles were drawn on her forehead.
Listen. I am a very busy man. Im not free enough to deal with a strange woman looking for a missing middle school student in an elementary school dorm. If you understand, then get out.
The missing students name is Kyle. Do you still not know?
Youre persistent. I have no obligation to answer. Why dont you just stop bullying weak elementary school students? Its very ugly.
It is not just the appearance of the suspect that I have learned from an eyewitness ount. A blue wyvern tied to the stables of this dormitory, and the two friends whom you acted together with for days also match.
She was a very persistent woman. I started to feel unpleasant.
? Race: Miracle Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Queen (Charm Domination)
? Skills: Magic ZZ Mana ZZ Five Senses Z Charm Z Leadership Z
? Status: Holy Grail, Divine Beast
Was it because she was the student council president? The higher the Charm, the higher the Dominance of the job Queen. But when it came to this womans fighting power, she wasnt very good. Rather, it would be much more helpful to be a Witch whose Mana increased the more beautiful they were.
She wouldnt be an easy foe, though. It was too much to make a mistake. Could I finish her in one shot by surprise? It didnt matter if I tried or not. If I attacked a middle school student who trespassed into the dorm and my score dropped, I could fall away from 1st ce.
The problem was, there was a chance I would be beaten instead. From the 1st ythrough, magic wasnt my specialties. There were quite a few opportunities to acquire it, but I avoided it because it was a pure fantasy ability. It was still the same now.
I knew some theories to fight against it, but this was my first time dealing with a wizard in the Transcendent Realm. So there were many variables to consider.
Even so-
I would like to ask for your cooperation. The missing student was the vice president of the secondary education center student council. Were not trying to penalize those involved. Were looking for a recement for the missing vice president. If you defeated him, you would naturally take over his ce.
I stopped thinking. The surprise attack was, of course, on hold. No, I must not do it. Defeating the vice president of the student council would make me the vice president of the student council. Then, if I kill the student council president in front of me by surprise, Ill be the president of the student council, right?
Andmine to go through the secondary education curriculum regardless of my grades! If her exnation had been a littlete, I would have been taken to the secondary school student council without knowing what happened.
Auntie. I wont say it twice, so listen carefully. Ive never killed a middle school student during the festival. Just look at my abilities. Do you think I can beat a middle school student like this?
Well see about that.
The student council president fiddled with her monocle.
It is no use measuring mybat power with a magic tool. In the first ce, it was made for natives who couldnt see the abilities, right? So why would you do such a pointless thing
Its a special tool.
Special?
Yes. It measuresbat power based on the achievements the target has umted over their life, not their skill and level. A student who does well on the written test isnt necessarily smart. Thats why this tool was developed.
There are all sorts of bizarre tools, huh?
Measuringbat power based on the achievements that had been umted? It wasnt even funny. What if the person who could defeat the Demon Lord Pedonar with one finger was a pacifist and did nothing? Theirbat power would be lightly evaluated because no achievements were umted.
It wasplete nonsense.
Isnt yourbat power strange?
Of course, it would be strange. To measure thebat power of a peace-loving good hero in such a low-objective way
Its too high.
What?
This isnt thebat power that cane out from an elementary school student, is it? Even if you enter the upper sses of the secondary education curriculum, there will be no sense of contradiction. Considering that there is a limit to the achievements that can be umted in the elementary education center yourbat power surpasses even a secondary school studentah! This was a big leap. No matter how good you are, youre still an elementary school student.
Thats what she said, but she looked me up and down with a sharp gaze like an aunt choosing a luxury bag.
What you looking at? There werent any handsome men around you, huh?
There are too many to count. Hmmm! Rather, I think its a waste for a talented person like you to rot in the elementary education center. There is a reason why youre on the fifth floor of the dormitory that has been sealed for over seven hundred years.
The atmosphere flowed poorly. I decided I shouldnt keep talking to this woman.
The way you measurebat power by achievements is strange. You cantpare a middle school student who caught one troll to a diligent elementary school student who caught a hundred trolls. I am just a sincere hero.
This tool isnt that
Gosh, youre so noisy! Auntie, if youre going to say bad things, just get out of there!
I pushed the student council president, who I couldnt kill as I wanted, out the front door. She looked like she still had a lot to say, but I didnt care.
Click!
And I made sure to lock the door. It locked automatically, but I dead-bolted it to make sure it was closed.
Student Kang Han-soo. Theres no point in locking it. She can enter the floating garden on the roof of the dormitory.
Elise had a troubled expression.
You said no one coulde in there?
A transparent barrier would block a normal student. However, the other party is the student council president, who legitimately entered the fifth floor. The system will be flexible enough to allow her to go the other way.
What a convenient flexibility!
It had always been strict and inflexible on my report card! Speaking of which, I decided to ask Elise one more question.
You said the vice president of the student council was her boyfriend?
I did not give false information to Graduate Student Kang Han-soo. Anyone who helped with a cumbersome practical test in their school days would be their boyfriend, right? The reason the student council president is in such a hurry is that the vice president of the student council, who was doing the job for her, disappeared.
Oh, I see.
I heard the truth I didnt want to know.
I know exactly what happened because Ive watched it all through the name tag. It wasnt Kang Han-soo who killed the vice president of the student council, but Noebius, the Dragon King. But, of course, we will never pass this information on to the student council president. Its against the rules.
Then is it legal to read my thoughts?
Its legal because its part of a proper education.
It was a relief that the Demon King didnt get caught because the MAX-ss dormitory was spacious. After all, she would perfectly misunderstand that I treated the Demon King Pedonar as a subordinate if she saw his pitiful appearance where he was living as a freeloader. Using this as an excuse, I might be scouted by the secondary school student council. That alone should be avoided at all costs.
I think I should avoid going outside for the time being.
I couldnt help the two porters grow, but once the two were ustomed to the flow, they would be strong enough that I wouldnt need to take an active role. So should I say theyre elerating? If things go on like this, I should be able to return to Earth in a year.
Or so I thought at the time
*
This must be the academic monopoly of a transcendent being.
Otherwise, this situation couldnt be exined. There was no way my score and ranking could be like this when I stayed in the dorm all day.
? Score: 36485
? Rank: 1
My score kept going up even though I didnt do anything, to the point where special measures were required. However, it was also difficult because the student council president of the secondary education center, who I expected to give up and go back soon, wandered around the dormitory-like a hungry hyena.
Elise exined.
Its not like Graduate Student Kang Han-soos grades just go up. Theres a bonus for taking care of the Demon King, who should have been cared for by the teaching staff. Whenever Noebius, the Dragon King, who is automatically registered as a pet, ys an active part as the trainer, you also get some points. And even in the city where the elves live, a missionpletion is recorded from time to time, and points areing in.
Boss K!
Putting a knife in my back with a smile, isnt that what I should be saying? I did nothing. I didnt even contact Elf City, let alone visit it. However, there were frequent records of perfect performance for various duties.
- Curing the depression that the Elf Mayors daughter suffered from 200 points
- Actively helping with paperwork at Elf City Hall: 10 points
- Breathing new energy into the Elf City: 40 points
- Delivering dreams and hopes to the lower Elven races: 500 points
- Increased the Elf Citys security rate to 90%: 30 points
Who the hell was me who was active 24 hours a day in Elf City? My dearpanion Noebius was also formidable.
- Defeating the angel knight Kriel by trampling on him: 20 points
- Defeating the fallen angel Eurapoel brutally: 50 points
- Execution of the ipetent Angel Mayor Boruel: 30 points
- Putting the Archangel Shabriel in critical condition: 100 points
I didnt do anything, but I was given points indirectly from those around me. If it went on like this, I would be dragged to the secondary education center while asleep. It wasnt easy to lower my score with penalty points. Inside the dorm, I was the king. Harming the maids and vandalism didnt cut my score. Even a bizarre situation in the reverse direction happened.
For example
- You have earned 3 points from the broken pot!
- You found 10 points on the body of the maid Narsha!
-Sessfully taunting Demon King Pedonar: 2 points
- You found 2 points in the closet drawer!
It was like this. Others were howling for even one point, but I gained two just by making eye contact with a mermaid sunbathing in the pool. While saying that the seduction was sessful
It was certainly dangerous at this rate. I had to go out of the dormitory and start sweeping up penalty points.
Well? My son-inw, are you finally leaving?
The Demon King, who was reading while lying on the soft sofa, nced at me as he meddled.
Because things arent going well.
At this rate, it seemed like I would end up as the overwhelming number one.
I can sympathize with you because this is a prison for me as well, but isnt it something you can think of? If you want to live in this tough world, its better to be a little stronger. And worrying about your abilities disappearing is also in vain. I will never cooperate with my sister, after all.
You never know the future.
And what was the point of being stronger than now? I couldnt even engage in filial piety that everyone else did.
Demon King, I think it has been a long wait.
I slowly pulled up a new force. I wasnt just ying while I was locked up in the dorm for almost a year. One reason I despised my colleagues from the 1st ythrough was negligence. They were just thinking of ying around all day. In front of weak viins, they bluffed a lot, and they cowardly attacked the strong viins in a group.
They made no effort and were jealous of the hero. And how about when they heard that the fearsome Demon King who wanted to destroy the world had been resurrected? Or when the Demon Kings subordinates scattered around the world were harassing people?
Despite that, my colleaguesughed and chatted leisurely. I couldnt understand it at the time, and from that moment on, I learned sincerity.
Even now, decadester. I am constantly looking for ways to be stronger and grow, and if there is something to learn from others, I dont care whether they are a demon or an enemy. God was no exception.
Hero! If youre a spirit, you have to use specialized attributes like a spirit. Isnt it too much of an abuse of human racial characteristics? What a possibility
The Demon King muttered as if it were absurd. I shrugged.
My attribute is human, after all.
Now I wouldnt look back but move forward. I wont hesitate or stop until I move away from number one.
Because Im ready.
Ha! Secondary education center?
Damn headmaster. If you want to send me there, just try it. I would destroy the secondary education center, after all.
Chapter 164 - [? Round] Invisible Dragon
Chapter 164 - [? Round] Invisible Dragon
ording to the exnation of the science magazine I read just before I was kidnapped from Earth to the Fantasy World, dark matter was a substance that could only be recognized by gravity. Now, after about five years of Earth time, something more may have been discovered, but the only thing I could use was the knowledge I had until five years ago. There were three pieces of information about dark matter that I knew.
1) It is not observable with electromaic waves.
2) It makes up roughly 30% of the universe.
3) It reacts to Mons technique!
Circle number 3 with a red colored pencil or underline it with a highlighter! Its very important.
Wizards can feel and see Mana, which is an essential source of magic. Likewise, those called masters of martial arts say that they can sense their opponents next move. In other words, anything could be exined by sight. ording to the science magazine, Earths scientists hadnt yet figured out whether dark matter consisted of particles or waves, despite its abundance in the universe.
But the great being was different.
Respect to the great Master Mon.
Unfortunately, I cant stay under the shadow of my master forever. Just because Master Mon can see dark matter doesnt mean that I, his disciple, can also simply see it. It was necessary to take a different approach. It had been about a year since I was summoned to the Festival Continent.
I developed my method after countless trials and errors. As a righteous hero who loved humanity, I would like to distribute this groundbreakingbat technique I discovered for free, but Im afraid the theory was too vague to be expressed in words. I stamped my right foot lightly in ce.
Kwazzzk-!
There was a puzzle-like crack through the floor that was ten times harder than the wall. I couldnt destroy it at once like the Demon King Pedonar. However, it was also only for a moment. The cracks caused by the slight twisting of the space crushed the solid walls.
Rumbling
Was this what the 3D live version of the ssic game Tetris would look like? As I drew a circle around the foot I stomped with, a fairlyrge area of the floor divided into small fragments and fell one by one. First, it destroyed the fourth floor and descended to the third.
Ugh?!
The ceiling again?!
Oh! Damn it!
The humans who happened to be down there screamed. But that was only for a moment. As soon as I touched them with my outstretched right hand, they twisted, convulsed, and fell like wooden dolls.
Thump, thump
They didnt die. People dont die from their endocrine nds being stimted externally, which confused them as their hormonal bnce was upset. However, it could result in serious injury.
Its be too simple
It was bittersweet because it felt like I had witnessed the end of analog. The finesse of the hand that directly touched their backbone was excellent. Just like when craftsmen and household industries copsed due to the emergence of factories that mass-produced with just a press of a button, it had now reached a point where going Tap! alone produced more effective results.
After a moment of disappointment in the nostalgia of the past, I noticed that my score had gone down slightly, and I felt better. I liked the power of this new technique.
Number 1! You can no longer run rampant!
I have been waiting for you toe out of the dorm!
Im not who I used to be. You wont beat us easily!
The reason I have been fighting all this time is for this moment!
The graduates who heard themotion rushed in. The dormitory hallways, wide enough for ten people to stand side by side, were filled with no space to walk. They all came together with one mind and one ord to meet me.
I was so touched. I also decided to repay them for their support.
Pop-!
I summoned the Holy Sword Nucleon and held it in my left hand. The cutting power alone was excellent! It would cut open their waists like ripened fruit. In the meantime, the opponents didnt just stay still. The various magics that crossed the graduates heads flew in, aiming at me.
It was also difficult to avoid. The siege of the graduates, who filled even the windows thoroughly, was thick, and those specialized in closebat wouldnt let me go.
It was pretty strong.
sh, sh- ng!
It was blocked right after three or four people were cut down with the Holy Sword Nucleon. I didnt know the name of the person who blocked it, but the name tag was shing with a rainbow light like mine.
Number 1. If you believed that you would be the only S-ss forever, youre greatly mistaken.
A man with narrow eyes, cunning like a snake, spoke to me with a sly look. A ck coat with ck hair and ck eyes. He was a friend who was unified in ck, and it was unique in that he blocked the Holy Sword Nucleon by crossing his dual swords.
However
So what?
He only blocked me once.
Huh? What?!
ng-!
I spent one Level of experience and amplified it, then pushed back the twin swords of the S-ss graduate with pure power and shed vertically from his head to his groin. If I had more time, I would have given him a proper education by fighting without wasting my experience, but there were many friends around him waiting for their turn.
And it wasnt a loss. So if I invest 1 Level and recover 10 Levels, wasnt that a profitable business?
Im supposed to be the strongest! This is a scam- Kegh?!
Everyone! Come together and fight him together- Kugh?!
Why is the guy who stayed in his room for a year so strong!
Lets see! Ugh?! Ill see you next time- Kugh!
The siege of the graduates, who had only believed in their overwhelming number, copsed in an instant. Still, a few escaped or surrendered. It was because they knew from experience or rumor that this fair hero would follow them to the end and kill them unconditionally. I like my debt to be clean, after all.
Even when I borrowed money from a friend in middle and high school, I paid it back the next day, even if I got hit by my mothers tennis racket. Likewise, whenever I held debt, I kept thinking of it all day, like putting a leaden lump above my head. But, of course, I couldnt stay lost in thought while fighting. The magic that flew from all directions was blocked by the spirits attached to my body, but I had no choice but to get hit by the des and arrowheads that didnt fall under the five spirits power.
Even bullets!
The power of despicable friendship was certainly enormous. After all, I, a normal person, was hurt by the attack of these ipetent andzy social misfits.
Tsk. Its the limit of analog.
It was impossible to win by using only the Holy Sword Nucleon. If I summoned my main spirits, it was not impossible to reduce the number and win an overwhelming victory, but the problem was that my spirits were from the aliens who invaded Earth. What if I summoned the spirits here?
I could also be misunderstood as one of the aliens. But, of course, I dont mind anyway. So what if the ants misunderstood? However, the spirits were sealed because of the slight possibility that they could harm their parents the same way as those who gave birth to the traitor of humanity.
That wasnt the only reason I was pushed. The averagepetence of graduates had certainly increased. A year ago, I was able to wipe them out with just the Holy Sword Nucleon and the wings of a righteous hero, but now there were quite a few S-sses that held onto my ankles, and the battle had be quite cumbersome. It meant that they also had grown up during that year.
But it was the same for me.
Well then. Shall I start by reducing them by half first?
I raised the middle finger and thumb of my right hand and flicked them.
Snap!
Kuaaragh?!
Aargh-?!
The graduates exposed to the wave that I spread by snapping my fingers stumbled. And their bodies fell, starting from the weakest ones. The principle was the same as before. It shook the bodys delicate biorhythm and destroyed their brain cells. It was a phenomenon created by the distortion of tiny spaces invisible to the naked eye, but that alone had a significant effect.
That was the key to my new technique, giving microscopic twists that were invisible like dark matter.
Its pretty much sorted out.
Those who endured my new technique were divided into two groups: either those who were stupid enough that they couldnt tell even when their brain cells died or those whose constitution absorbed shock well. It was okay, though.
Because it meant that the number had been drastically reduced. The graduates, with bewildered expressions on their faces, either lost their fighting spirit or denied this reality altogether. This was the problem with the social misfits mindset. While they grew up like the protagonist in a fantasy novel, they thought their opponent would wait quietly.
The reality was so cruel
Hey, this is a scam!
Annihtion? I cant believe it!
This must be a nightmare.
The graduates were surprised by the strength of the S-ss hero who switched from analog to digital after a year of research, and they came to deny reality. So I decided to kindly remind them.
There was no end to this nonsense
Puck!
Kugh?!
Are you in a lot of pain? Its because its reality, not a dream.
My new technique didnt end there. Master Mons disciple couldnt be so sloppy, could he? It was because it was widely established. If I focused on those, who endured a while ago, the results would inevitably be different. Of course, the result when a hundred brain cells were killed off, and a million arent the same, right?
The trigger condition was through contact.
Kaargh~?!
Arghh-?!
Thump.
Those who touched me fell with pathetic screams.
Hero. May I arbitrarily remove the dead and wounded to keep the dormitory clean? If you want to take amemorative photo, please do it quickly now.
I wont.
Yes. Then, we will clean up quickly.
Maids came and quietly cleaned up the cold dead bodies of the graduates that were scattered in the hallways like corpses. If they were still alive, they were sent to the infirmary, and if they were dead, they were moved to the temple behind the dormitory for resurrection.
But I was still number one. It meant that the mens dormitory alone wasnt enough. Also, I likely needed to kill the graduates two or three more times to stably get down to the fifth ce. And there was still one more difficulty left.
As expected, its just like I guessed.
The student council president, who persisted wandering around the dormitory even after a year, suddenly appeared and pretended to be friendly.
Auntie.
I havent even gotten married yet. It is very unpleasant to be called an auntie like that.
Its also unpleasant for me to meet you here.
I responded timidly, presuming that I would naturally take over and attend the secondary education curriculum if I killed the student council president. It was a mistake. I was stuck in the dormitory and watched the scores build up. This was the price of that wrong judgment.
This timid response wasnt like me.
Your transparent technique, its quite interesting. Is it magic?
No.
After observing the battle, I found that this unusual skill only works with the right hand and the right foot. Is there any special reason?
I had no intention of answering any questions, but this was an exception.
If youre curious, I should just teach you.
Oh my goodness! Did something change your mind in this past year? This time, youre quite easy to speak to. I thought you were a wooden stone that wasnt interested in women, but it turned out that you were a very kind gentleman, just not expressive enough. Do you want to be my boyfriend? Ill have lunch with you.
The student council president revealed her true colors. I ignored her suggestions and only answered her questions.
The reason I use only my right hand. Thats because the invisible dragon is sealed in my right hand.
Ah!
Hey, Auntie. Isnt it a big deal if you take it seriously?
Chapter 165 - [? Round] Boyfriend…?
Chapter 165 - [? Round] Boyfriend?
The student council president of the secondary education centers question was no different than asking a right-handed person why he held a pen with only his right hand. How great would it be to write or draw twice as fast as others with pens in both hands? But the reality wasnt that convenient.
The same was true of my new technique. Precise technical control was possible only with the right hand and right foot. But it wasnt something to be ashamed of at all. You dont have to hold a pen in both hands, do you? You should also have a hand free to grab a notebook or rummage through your phone. Just because youre ambidextrous doesnt mean youre better at studying.
Enough with the unnecessary talk
I kicked off the wall and jumped at the student council president. I didnt have any particr grudges against her, but if I killed the secondary education center student representative, I would receive a huge penalty. At the same time, I could check out the skills of the strongest middle school student.
Did she expect my attack? Or was her reaction speed excellent? The student council president disappeared like a mirage just before my attack hit, leaving a pir of fire that soared in the ce where she was.
Gwaaang-!
The Fire Spirit that lived between my thighs was trying hard, but the pir of fire formed by the student council presidents magic was special. As expected, was it in the Transcendental Realm? Spirits, the natural enemies of wizards dealing with the five major elements, didnt help much.
Tsk. Was it an illusion?
My body was engulfed in a pir of fire and burned brightly. Only magicians with excellent talent fought honestly with their power, using efficientbat techniques that fired off powerful magic quickly.
But the real authentic wizards were different because they were the ones who prepared. No matter who mighte, they didnt intend to destroy the opponents with their magic and instead analyzed their opponents psychology and set up effective magic traps to match them. Practical Magic was second. Wizards who used customized magic were the real nuisances.
What a terrible fire.
It was said that the fires of hell where the demons were locked up could never be extinguished. The pir of fire summoned by the student council president was the same. The mes that clung to my body raged non-stop, with the momentum to burn everything from my clothes to my flesh.
But I also had a way to handle it.
Im not a wizard, after all.
I was improvising on the spot. Even if there was some damage in the process, I must push forward boldly. Otherwise, I would be dragged along by the opponents pace. Thats what absolutely must be avoided against a prepared wizard.
So I ran thoughtlessly
What the?
The student council president, who reappeared a little distance from me, questioned me in a bewildered tone. Where was I going instead of fighting?
Fluttering~!
Im prepared to do anything to lower my score and rank! The fire that had been struggling to burn my body spread around the dormitory. If the student council president did something with magic, it would be concentrated around here. The dormitory would be destroyed as well.
Huh?! The fires wont go out!
Be careful not to touch it!
Ill ask for help from above!
The maids, who were as talented as the graduates, couldnt do anything to stop it. These women boldly cut their hair and took off their clothes just in case the me sshed on their bodies. After all, this was beyond the maids abilities.
It was no different for the graduates.
Argh! Help me!
Hey, what the hell is this strange fire?!
Hey! Extinguish this fire!
Hey! Go away! Stay away from me!
Unable to make the same cool judgment and decisions as to the maids, they were confused and burned down to ash one by one. Ordinary people were afraid of fire. On the other hand, heroes could boldly enter a ce covered with fire. This was because they believe in their fire resistance, level, and skill. But now, those heroes also reacted like ordinary humans. Just as a hero is no ordinary man, this fire was also unusual.
It didnt falter as it continued to spread. With this force, it wouldnt take long to reach the womens dormitory and even to the city where it was located.
W-wait-! Stop-!
The student council president hastily followed after me. Originally, I had to track her down and blow her chin off with all my might, but the tables were turned. With teleportation magic, it was possible to appear right in front of me and make a surprise attack, but she was busy catching the fire that was spreading from my body to everywhere.
An absolute fire that never went out? There were no absolutes in this world. If such a fire existed, it would have burned the universe right away. It was just that many stars burned for an astronomical amount of time that felt like an eternity to humans.
Anyway. The student council president, who had already prepared this and that, was perplexing. It proved that the ns she had set up had gone awry. In addition to the pir of fire, there must have been several magic traps. But they werent used at all.
The initiative had been handed over to me. It was important from now on.
Squeeze!
I tore the clothes I was wearing off and threw them away. It was a special product brought from the treasure trove of the angels, so it didnt burn well even in the me that never went out. But it also came to its limit, so I threw it away. If the craftsman had seen it, he would have scolded me, but it was okay as I had a pile of clothes like that in my warehouse.
The next problem was
Damn bird-brained guys.
The angel races clothes, which stuck to the naked fashion style using their wings as an excuse, were unconditionally empty on the back, whether casual orbat wear. So the fire was still burning well on my back. The Fire Spirit prevented the spread, and the Water Spirit and the Earth Spirit diligently yed firefighter.
And the Wind Spirit helped me differently. Giggling, it spread the fire through the dorm while the Mind Spirit fanned the fire like a bad friend right next to it.
Its been a while since they paid rent, huh.
After praising the spirits, I reached back with my right hand and touched my burning back.
Fizzle
The fire went out in an instant. It wasnt even a matter of turning the magic around. A me that never went out had been transformed into a me of unknown origin with my skills. The existing characteristics had, of course, disappeared.
You! To extinguish the fire like that!
When the student council president saw me like that, she shouted indignantly. So I answered back.
With my fists.
Paang-!
The student council president, who was busy extinguishing the fire, couldnt avoid my attack. But it didnt give me the feeling I wanted.
Pats, bang, pang, nk!
It was due to the transparent protective shield surrounding the student council presidents body. The opponent was a wizard, so I expected that, but I didnt know that the shield would be this thick. It wasnt even one or twoyers.
Atst
Pop!
Even teleportation was triggered on the condition that the shield is broken. Expecting a physical blow, my fist couldnt reach the student council presidents chin and instead cut through empty air.
But that was okay.
Ohuuuuh!
Because only physical damage failed. The student council president, who appeared a little distance away, couldnt stand straight and leaned her back against the wall with a troubled expression on her face. It was only natural as she was within the sphere of influence of my right hand.
About five million brain cells had died by now, and her intelligence dropped by 1%. Millions of neurons were left stranded, so nerve transmissions must have been dyed by 0.03 seconds. Plus a bonus on top of that, even a slipped spinal disk! Her head would feel heavier than before, and her neck and shoulders would be sore.
Auntie, no hard feelings.
I-indeedthe overall 1st ced student who broke the best records in the elementary education curriculum by twenty-three times. I kind of thought about it, but I didnt expect you to aim for the number one position of the secondary education center right away.
The student council president, who sat leaning against the wall, didnt look angry or anxious. She spoke as if being attacked by me was a cruelw of the jungle she expected. Not just expected, she took it for granted.
What the hell was the role of the student council president? Whatever it was, it didnt suit me.
I wont kill you.
If she died, I might be the middle school student council president. I thought of destroying the secondary education center if I had to go there, but I didnt have to put myself there. Im going to give her a lightly herniated disc as a present, though. The student council president gave me a grim expression.
Isnt it a big deal if you think that you have already won? Ive finished reading your invisible skills through the attack you just threw. Its the particles that make up the spirit, the fine particles.
Fine particles, like sperm? (Note: a y of words)
Its fine particles! Please do not spheme the technical term!
Im just guessing. Why are you nervous?
ThatI was surprised. I didnt even think that there would be other beings that could deal with fine particles other than the First Spirit. Spirits can generate particles that match their properties, but they cannot control them. Just as we cannot control the feeling of love.
Love? You can take an aphrodisiac.
Did she think that stimnts and sedatives were for nothing?
Youyou dont know love, huh.
Ha! Dont look down on people. Is love a big deal? Its a beautiful love that I want to return home as soon as possible and be a good son to my parents.
You dont know anything, huh?
Shut up and give me your waist.
Whenever you suffer from a herniated disc, the face of an S-ss hero with a smile like a friendly orthopedic surgeon wille to mind.
A womans waist, not her chest? You have a unique taste.
Shut up and just stick it out to me.
Im sorry, but that wont happen. Do you remember the three virtues of a hero? Love and friendship. And being nosy.
Boom! Thud-!
A human fell from the sky like a meteor. The unquenchable me engulfed in that shock wave spread all at once to the city and the womens dorm, but it was none of my business. I kept an eye on the one who appeared with such a raucous performance.
It was clear that he was strong just by looking at the power that broke the dormitory ceiling, but his abilities were so great that they made meugh out loud. It wasnt even one person. The three people who fell almost at the same time were all wearing school uniforms.
You cheeky bastard. Take your hands off it while Im still asking nicely.
Hey. Do you think the middle school students look like pushovers just because youre a little strong?
Junior, enough with the cute yhouse.
And from the start, they were very hostile to me. I had a rough idea, but I decided to ask out of courtesy.
Who are you people to be meddling here?
Was there no leader? Just like the timing of their appearance, the three of them answered simultaneously this time.
Im her boyfriend!
Im the Presidents boyfriend!
Her boyfriend!
Hmm?
What?
Huh?!
The atmosphere between the three middle school students became strange all of a sudden. I nced back at the student council president.
Isnt this also within the expected category prepared by you, Auntie?
The student council president, who hardened like an ice statue, suddenly spoke with a nasal voice.
Oh! Honey, what are you so sad about? My only boyfriend is you, who is the strongest in elementary school.?
The embers of passion that had been dying out were zing once again.
Auntie is my girlfriend?
Auntie, huh? No matter how close we are, thats too much.
Yeah. Thats too much.
Hohoho! Honey. Well, thou-kyaaaaah?!
I grabbed the student council presidents slender ankle as her vignce dropped and swung her like a club, towards the three males who were super furious.
Kugh?!
President?!
Yo-youre crazy!
A true girlfriend of a righteous hero must give her body and mind for the peace and well-being of the hero. I will use her body first.
Chapter 166 - [? Round] Forbidden Love
Chapter 166 - [? Round] Forbidden Love
Just because youre the student council president, doesnt mean you have to be the best at studying and exercising in school, right? The abilities of the three young men who appeared like her escort knights were so great that it made meugh out loud.
It asionally happened in my school days, mutants who solved problems better than the teachers, especially on the sports field. They were the same. Small skills such as love, friendship, and cooperation were insignificant, but their skills rted tobat were enormous enough to silence most. In other words, their upbringing method was very simr to mine.
However, no matter how good a weapon was, it was useless if it couldnt be used. The three middle school students and self-proimed boyfriends failed to respond properly.
Because
Kyaaaaah~?!
Because if they werent careful, their girlfriend would be hurt. Each time they collided with the half-copsed dormitory wall, their appearance was growing more messed up. Still, she would die if they, who werepeting for the strongestbat power in the secondary education curriculum,unched attacks.
I aimed at the guy on the far right out of the three. His weapon was a sharp sword. In that situation where he couldnt touch the student council president, he was a swordsman who was the least useful. If he swung his de, the student council president would be cut to pieces.
Hey. Take this.
Ugh?!
He was ready for battle with sword in hand, but he was shocked when he saw the student council president suddenly thrown at him in a surprise attack. He didnt think that I would easily give up on her, who was nothing more than my hostage. Still, it was a situation where he had to grab her at once.
It was a matter of the de he held. Would he drop the sword? Would he hold it with one hand? I focused in at the moment of contemtion like this. Following the body of the student council president flying in a straight line, I approached diagonally by kicking off the wall.
Meanwhile, the other two werent ying either. However, the two only wanted to save their girlfriend rather than help their colleagues.
Hey! Move!
Get out of my way!
While running to the student council president, the two of them got in the way of each other halfway. If one had kept me in check and the other had saved the student council president, the situation would have been much easier, and conversely, I would have been in trouble. But they werent that considerate.
It was because each one was a hero. In a normal party (hero + lowly fellows), the hero aplished the dirty work, and the lowly fellows focused on all the easy andfortable problems. The division of roles was very clear, so there was no friction. But they were all heroes.
Since the roles were the same, they had no choice but to sh. In any case, I didnt waste the opening. The male student, who had a one-on-one situation with me and the student council president in the middle, decided to hold the sword with his right hand and take the student council president.
He was determined not to give up on both. I respected that will as I aimed at his left hand.
N-no!
The male student, who had his left arm wide open to take the iing student council president, failed to respond quickly. When he moved the sword in his right hand, the student council president was strangely caught between his left and right hand.
So he chose the worst measure. He faced me with his bare left arm and caught the student council president with his right arm. The summon of the sword he held in his right hand naturally canceled. He could resummon it, but I didnt give him the time to do so.
Paang-!
My right hand collided with the boys left. Ive trained quite a few boxing and fighting skills if I fight unarmed without a sword, but would a swordsman be called a swordsman for nothing? On top of that, even with the burden from catching the student council president
He didnt even show half of his original ability.
Kaaaarggh-?!
My new technique prated deep into the boys left hand. The cochlea bnced the human body, the iris that controlled the amount of light, and the retina that formed images, along the spinal cord that transmitted reflexes
His body rhythm was all messed up. Still, his tenacity in catching the student council president with his right arm deserved praise.
Thanks for supporting my girlfriend.
In return, I pped him on the chin. As with most living things, the brain was themand center for everything that happened in human life. The cerebrum performed mental activities, and the diencephalon regted body temperature and blood sugar levels. The pituitary nd controlled the endocrine nds, and the medu oblongata directed respiration and heartbeat to ur automatically. The midbrain controlled eye movements, the cerebellum maintained body bnce, and the spinal cord was responsible for excitation transmission and secretion.
Thats why you aim for the head or the heart when fighting. So you could kill the opponent in one shot.
tter
The boy was foaming at the mouth. His biological functioning was also disturbed, and his pants turned yellow.
But not for long. He took control of the imbnce in his body with his relentless regenerative power. Of course, he was defenseless during that catch-up time.
Crack.
I broke the area between the male students 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae nicely. Digital using the new technique was good, but analog, manually doing so by hand, was more tasteful and reliable. There was still room for improvement before I fully relied on digital.
And the student council president returned to her boyfriends arms. She whined in a hoarse voice, giving off a strange hue like an actress in an action movie covered with dust.
Stop it
Our date starts now.
Schoolboy A and Schoolboy B, blinded by jealousy, charged. This time, it was in the shape of an 11 without fighting. I burst intoughter. Cant they learn? I threw the student council president at Schoolboy A and charged at Schoolboy B.
Oh!
This bastard!
Then, Schoolboy A smiled brightly and prepared to receive the flying student council president like a catcher, while Schoolboy B, whose expression and eyes had changed, ignored me and turned direction. If I had speeded up a little bit more at this point, I could have stopped Schoolboy B.
But I didnt. Why should I do something good for Schoolboy A?
These fools
The student council presidentsmentable murmur echoed faintly in the mens dormitory that had been turned into ruins. The battle, which was a 3 vs. 1, was calmed down by the withdrawal of the righteous hero, reduced to 2 vs. 1, and eventually became a 1 vs. 1. Finally, it came to an end with the copse of all evil forces.
Schoolboy B, thest one to copse, shouted.
You are strange!
What?
How can you cleverly use others psychology without confronting them with skill fairly and squarelyare you still a hero?
Man. What do you want from someone still in the elementary school?
Thatdamn it
Schoolboy B, who had no words to respond to my perfect logic, stopped breathing with a depressed expression on his face. And it was only me, and my girlfriend left.
Student council president. Do you have any preparations left?
Of course.
Oh! Really?
I put my hand on the slim waist of the student council president as she responded. What could she do in this situation?
There is such a thing as forbidden magic in this world. Ah! Its not magic thats banned because its strong enough to destroy the world as childish elementary school students think. The effect is certain, but it is sealed magic that destroys the user in return.
Is that so? I dont mean to give you time to use it, but lets hear what it is.
Forbidden Love.
Hmm?
That is the name of the magic.
It was toote by the time I felt something strange from the student council president. It was because my hand didnt have the strength to break her waist. Far from breaking it down, my hand slyly went down, and it gripped her bouncy peach tightly instead.
My memories after that werent very clear.
*
Graduate Student Kang Han-soo. Did you have a good night? I would like to give you more rest, but I couldnt help it because you had an important guest waiting since this morning.
Elise?
When I woke up, I casually called out the name of the attractive beauty I saw as soon as I opened my eyes.
Yeah. This is Elise, your exclusive maid. I thought you wouldnt be back for a couple of days, but you came backst night, and I was really surprised.
This was likely the bedroom in my amodations. The lower floor of the mens dormitory was a mess, but it seemed that only the fifth floor survived the fire and chaos.
Fortunately, it seemed to end well.
I let out a sigh of relief as I sensed that my limbs were attached properly. I regretted my negligence until I lost my consciousness. I let my guard down when I grabbed the student council presidents waist! A result of falling to arrogance after I had defeated all three male students.
Still, Im relieved that Im safe. The new technique had certainly helped. It ignored the defensive skills of the three boys and broke through. By inheriting the properties of dark matter that electromaic waves couldnt detect, it couldnt be interfered with by fantasy skills.
From now on, lets call it fine particles. It was ambiguous to define what to call it until the student council president taught me, but she made it very clear. I touched the bed with my left hand to raise my still stiff upper body.
And then
Slimy, slimy~
I was startled by the soft touch like a slime that came under my palm. When I turned my gaze to the side, the naked student council president, who wasnt wearing a single yarn, was sleeping peacefully, curled up and facing me. And she looked so perfectly fine that I felt bad.
Thest time I saw her, her limbs werent cut off, but she still had broken bones, and her skin was covered in small andrge scars. Currently, only her hair was all messed up.
But her breasts and ass dont seem fine, do they?
Elise pointed it out after reading my thoughts.
Ive never had a woman argue with me over that. And thats not what I did.
You dont seem to remember at all.
I did it?
At first, she responded by screaming that she was in pain, but at some point, she begged for a break
Give me the evidence. I dont remember at all about it.
Just by looking at the circumstances
Its unfair.
I dont remember spending a hot night with the student council president. It felt like falling asleep in aputer cafe, and when I opened my eyes, an outrageous bill greeted me.
Magic, Forbidden Love. It is magic devised by a great witch who devoted her whole life only to magic to win the heart of a prince she fell in love with. It is hypnotic magic that is strong enough for an old woman to win a young mans love. However, it is not magic that can be used carelessly because both parties will fall blindly in love with each other in return.
Im not sure.
My memory ofst night was hazy.
The Mind Spirit seems to have blocked it.
Did it?
I pointed to the spirit that was fiddling with the ring given by the Health Teacher. The Mind Spirit, who paid the least rent and had the most sexual harassment among the five spirits, did one thing.
Elise continued as she held out my new clothes.
I would like to talk to Graduate Student Kang Han-soo a little more, but an important guest is waiting in the living room.
Who the hell is it?
The voice of the S-ss maid answering my questions sounded like thunder.
Chapter 167 - [11th Round] What is This Overpowered Character?
Chapter 167 - [11th Round] What is This Overpowered Character?
The admission counselor? Maybe I misheard expulsion counselor? Next, I beat up my ssmates, set fire to the dormitory, and gave several seniors a herniated disc. Andstly, the student council president!
I didnt remember a thing, but it seemed like I also had a very hot and promiscuous night with my senior. So why was it the admission counselor? Was this an educational facility that favored delinquent students?
Its not like that, Student Kang Han-soo.
As soon as I came out of the living room, the man who was supposed to be the admission counselor answered with a soft smile. He was a slightly skinny man that emitted an atmosphere like a knife. A teacher who would realistically lead the student to higher education ording to the students grades without any variables or errors. To put it another way, he seemed to give only realistic advice, excluding any bubbles of hope or dreams that were pleasant to hear.
He must have read my first impressions like this. But he didnt deny it and only smiled deeper.
My name is Kang Han-soo.
I sat down on the soft sofa as I answered. For some reason, the unrted Demon King was also attending this event and watched us with an excited expression.
You may have heard it from the maid, but let me introduce myself again. My name is Parker Lee, and I serve as the chairman of guidance and the middle and high school admissions counselor. You can call me Mr. Lee.
Ah, yes.
I didnt want to be very friendly with him. Today would be our first andst meeting, after all.
I would like to seriously consult with Student Kang Han-soo about your secondary education major, but first of all, its urgent to change your mind to drop out despite your excellent grades.
But Im graduating, not dropping out?
But you are still under-educated. Even in your hometown, isnt it very difficult to transfer into bing a member of society with just an elementary school diploma?
This is different.
I just need to go back to Earth and live the life of a normal citizen. From my perspective, this wasnt about going from elementary school to middle school. It was like choosing whether to go from university to graduate school. I had no intention of devoting my life here, so there was no problem even if I didnt build a higher educational background.
Your misunderstanding is well understood.
Its not a misunderstanding. Its a fact.
Haha! They said that people see as much as they know. Dimension Earth has led a peaceful life without outside interference for about two hundred years. However, if you look closely, there have been extraordinary unfortunate events ranging from religious wars to world wars. Still, there has never been a single situation so terrible that the entire human race was threatened with destruction.
Isnt that thanks to you?
We were just teaching. Have you ever heard that creativity is the mother of imitation? The concept of demons and angels isnt an imaginary being created by humans for political and religious purposes. They saw the existence that existed from the beginning, and the ruling ss transformed it ording to their taste and put it into their mythology. But not everyone thought about using it. Earths heroes, who felt a sense of crisis when they saw transcendent beings such as angels and demons that cause natural disasters with just a gesture, were taught by us and protected their home for two hundred years. Just like the older generations did.
Was it because he was an admission counselor? He seemed to talk a lot and even changed the subject a little bit.
Now is the main point. Depending on the situation of the Earths people, we have been recruiting students every hundred years or so. But recently, as the Earth faced the agricultural revolution, the poption exploded, and as a result, student recruitment became easier, and the cycle changed to every two-hundred yearsah! Is this off-topic too? This is the conclusion. The act of refusing to go to school despite being capable of it is a betrayal of both the Earth and humanity.
What do you see about me to say that I am capable of it?
I think objective data is more reliable than sloppy words. So please take a look at this.

There were fifty-two of them! ording to the value of the achievement, there seemed to be a lot of stars behind it. There were quite a few duplicates and simr achievements, but they were probably counted separately. Therefore, many achievements were umted while subjugating enemies in the shortest time without the Holy Sword or anypanions. This was because the achievements included powerful monsters, demons, and viins I inadvertently passed over as extras.
Though, there was one achievement that caught my attention in particr.
As expected! I was so cute when I was a kid!
It was the most incredible achievement, to the extent that I suspected there were fraudulent votes.
Anyway, there are a lot of achievements.
Thats right. Elementary school students who are rated as excellent set an average of two or three achievements. However, Student Kang Han-soo has fifty-two of them. Youined that there were many duplicates, but these are originally achievements that are difficult to achieve. None of these are as easy as they might sound.
As he brought in objective data, I couldnt get away with it any longer. So, I looked for something different.
How about my reputation and personality?
This was the grade that had been holding me back since the 1st ythrough. In particr, my personality always failed because it was far from the heros mental state desired by all the faculty staff and the Fantasy God. No matter how talented you are, its hard to hire someone if your personality isnt likable.
I didnt know the day woulde when the personality that was stressing me out would help.
The admissions counselor continued.
Its hard to say it was good, but there is something to be corrected. As Student Kang Han-soo said, your reputation score was on the low side, but it came out quite good enough to be ranked fifth in the Fantasy Native Voting. The problem is with your personality, but its not a problem enough to give up on your ability.
But Im going to destroy the secondary education center?
Do as you please. There are plenty of ssrooms.
I red at the admission counselor. But he went on with a smile without raising a single eyebrow.
As you have proven yourself this time, yourbat power has already surpassed even the secondary school students. In my opinion, I would like to transfer Kang Han-soo into a higher education course and provide guidance. Still, many teachers are against itits a shame about that personality grade.
Are you going to force me to go to school?
No way? Please check the current festival score.
Score? Its crazy!
? Score: 872345
? Rank: 1
My scores were going down smoothly until the dormitory was destroyed, and the graduates were punished. How did this happen? I had no choice but to suspect maniption.
There is no maniption. I can indeed do it if I want to, but the Health Teacher is monitoring you.
Then what is the reason?
While you were asleep, the elementary school dormitory burned down. But the natives of the Festival were delighted to see this.
Hah?
What kind of crap was this?
I havent told you this because Im afraid of retaliation, but it seems that the graduates have caused a lot of trouble to the natives as they wandered through the city to perform their duties. As a result, the natives blessed the unknown dormitory arsonist and increased their score.
Oh, my God
I didnt even think about it. Even when getting help, the barbaric Fantasy natives only said Thank you! and offered no realpensation. How could the natives of the Festival be so thorough in their consideration? I was so moved that my heart was pounding.
Student Kang Han-soo.
The admissions counselor called to me with a victorious smile.
What? Do you still have something to say?
Dont think too badly about it. There are various privileges for secondary school students. First, it is possible to protect your family and travel to your home or allieds for vacation. And the most important thing
I was apathetic toward his proposal. My family was treated like a hostage, and Id rather just graduate than take a pitiful vacation.
Listen for now. You can own one of the divided beings of the Fantasy Continent as aplete being. However, core entities including colleagues are excluded.
Huh! What does that mean?
Sometimes, students fall in love with a beautiful innkeeper or a handsome wanderer.
I dont have anything like that
The next word he said caught my mind.
Dont you have a son born from the Sword Princess?
Hes gone.
Thats not true. We preserve the souls of beings born as variables for five hundred years just in case this happens. Dont get me wrong. There are a lot of students who want to be secondary school students to revive the rtionship they thought has disappeared but are unable to do so.
I closed my eyes and thought. He was a child who was born when I yed with fire. It was in case the Fantasy Continent was maintained even if I disappeared. For the unified North Continent not to be engulfed in war, an heir with my blood was necessary. I didnt regret making that decision at the time.
All that was left was my responsibility.
Okay, Ill take it with pleasure.
I decided to judge rationally, not emotionally. Of course, it was important to return as a citizen of the beautiful green Earth, which I have longed for over the decades, but it was even more important to save the child I thought was dead.
It wasnt because I was a hero. It was my duty to protect my family.
Haha! Well-chosen. It is better to enter voluntarily than by force.
But there are conditions.
What? I will ept almost everything.
The admission counselor, who was in a good mood, answered boldly. So I spoke without hesitation.
Make the Sword Princess that ones parent until Ipletely graduate from this damn school. I dont want to raise a child without a mother.
Is it okay for a child to be without his father?
I can keep seeing him after graduation, after all.
But, she is still a virgin
On Earth, even virgins have children. So anyway, they give birth.
Is that so? Anywaywhat a convenient theory. What would the Health Teacher say should she hear this story? However, this is a problem that we cannot easily deal with. The Sword Princess is an important person. Many students love her. But if we suddenly add this setting, the bacsh will be severe. So, as a condition, give back the souls of the three fools you captured. Then I will take responsibility and push that setting.
Well, thats good.
I took it with ease and dly epted.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
I released the souls of middle school students who imed to be the boyfriends of the student council president. I would appoint them as my spirits and make them work hard until their souls were ripped apart, but thanks to my child, they survived.
Thank you. I like this deal because its neat.
The admission counselor smiled with satisfaction as he captured the three souls floating in the air.
So, when do I go to the secondary education center?
Originally, you have to wait one more year for the Festival to end, but the student council president is like that, and the three students in the middle school leadership team were smashed, so the schedule has be a bit tight. If your grades umte a little, you will be promoted based on my rmendation. We will discuss it again then.
Are you done talking?
Thats ri-
I threw my fist at the admission counselor.
Thud!
But it was blocked by his palm. So, I added some fine particles to it, but that was also blocked by something unknown.
I will make you regret letting me in.
I thought I had said it before? Violent students are always wee. Its been roughly fifty-four years since you entered elementary school, right? The future is really scary. Please dont disappoint my expectations like you are now.
The admission counselor disappeared like a mist, and my consciousness was blown away.
*
I thought I would go to another world if I were going to the secondary education center. However, from the moment I saw Lanuvels face as she was acting cute, my expectations plummeted to the bottom.
Do I need to repeat it?
? We sincerely wee students who have graduated from the elementary education curriculum with excellent grades to enter the secondary education curriculum. However, the existing abilities are not enough to enter the secondary education curriculum. Therefore, enter the Transcendence Realm while solving the review tasks below. Good luck!
Was it Elise? Or the student council president? I vaguely remembered hearing something about this. Even graduating from the elementary education curriculum didnt mean entering the secondary education curriculum right away. It seemed that I must raise thecking abilities here.
? The entrance examination begins.

It was very simple. It was about defeating all the Five Major Disasters living separately on the five continents of the Fantasy Dimension. However
Lanuvel?
Yes! Im Lanuvel! Huh?! By the way, hero, how did you know Lanuvels name?!
I didnt ask because I forgot this bitchs face or name. It was because of her abilities.

Chapter 168 - [Round 11] Sky Above The Sky
Lanuvel, who was Level 200, suddenly grew to Level 2,000. The level at which a parrot evolved into an ammonite! Her skills used to be only in the General Area, but now she possessed several Transcendental Realm Skills like they were nothing.
However, Lanuvel wasnt the only one who changed. The knights of the royal pce around her also lightly exceeded Level 1,000. They held no Transcendental Realm Skills, but they werent like thebination of weak and pushy knights in the past.

They were now like thest fortress protecting the royal pce. After all, in the past, they were only idiots with a strong sense of pride that were actually weaker than named monsters.
Wait. Did the monsters get stronger too? Even if you want to level up, if you dont have a ce to receive experience points, you wont grow enough. Unless Fantasy God set it up like this Youre level 500 from today, and the next you will be level 600.
Dear Hero, who knows Lanuvels name? Have youe to your senses?
Im Kang Han-soo.
Dont tilt your head and act cute while calling my name.
Yes! Hero!
Are you confused because you were suddenly summoned without notice? This is Fantasy. It is a different dimension from the world where you were born and raised. It would be unreasonable to ask for your understanding right away. Ill exin it step by step from now on.
However, the content was slightly different.
1) The Five Great Disasters are about to awaken.
2) The crisis of humankind has arrived.
3) The prophesized hero was summoned.
4) Please save this world!
Was it because of the mission I received at the start of the 11th ythrough? Since the Demon King Pedonar had been resurrected, there was no story of stopping him, and instead, there were Five Great Disasters.
So Lanuvels exnation was much longer as the enemies that must be defeated increased from one to five.
Lanuvel will summarize and exin the enemies you will have to defeat in the future! The disaster of the Eastern Continent is the Cursed King Malfart. If you get cursed by him, youll get blisters all over your body and suffer terrible pain. Frost Queen Elsh is the Disaster of the Northern Continent. It is said that her ice freezes even the heart.
The me King Phoenix is the disaster of the Southern Continent. His hands are always burning with mes, so you will get burned if you get too close to him. And then Wraith King of the Western Continent, Shakespeare. Hes a viin who raises the dead. Finally, the catastrophe of the Central Continent, the Dragon King Noebius. It is said that this dragons venom is more terrible than the previous Four Great Disastersbined.
I listened silently without interrupting her exnation. This was to check if the setting was different from the Five Great Disasters in the elementary education curriculum. However, from my experience of defeating everything in the 1st ythrough, nothing seemed to have changed.
However
Where is the Dragon King?
As Lanuvel exined earlier, you may not know, the dragon is now being stopped using a holy artifact in the neighboring country, the Holy Empire. However, as the power of the relic has been weakening recently, this evil dragon is about to awaken.
I see.
At the end of the twilight period, Noebius, the Dragon King, would die naturally within two years, even if left alone. However, in the secondary education curriculum, they extended his period of grace by freezing him. They used their brains well, huh? It was unlikely to fail the mission due to Noebius dying naturally during the adventure.
Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lanuvel, an archaeologist who received a prophecy and summoned you during a trip to chase an ancient legend. Lanuvel means truth in the ancientnguage.
Are you stupid? I know your old-fashioned name. Why would you introduce yourself again?
Boo
Lanuvel pouted her lips and pretended to be cute again. I, already on the verge of rage, seeded in ignoring her. The 11th ythrough. I think I will be able to face my sworn enemy with a smile now. But Lanuvel
Hero, his Majesty is waiting.
The royal pce knight who was waiting nearby urged me to move. Nothing seemed to have changed so far, except the target of subjugation.
Okay. Lets go.
*
Since there were no disturbances, there was no surprise in encountering the Sword King Alex in the royal pce hall. I also learned a lot in the 10th ythrough, after all. I remembered the contents of the strategy book exined by hero Luke well. Even if I entered the secondary education center, my purpose was no different from my elementary education center days.
No screwing around and then graduating quickly. We will proceed as smoothly as possible and return to Earth.
With my child. I should also visit the Sword Princess in the North Continent to ensure that the admission counselor kept his promise. I didnt have time to hang out with the Dumpling King.
Wee to mynd! Hero!
Thank you for the hospitality, Your Majesty.
I greeted by showing a thorough nobility etiquette as I nced around. King, princes, princesses, queen, nobles, wizards
Like Lanuvel and the royal pce knights, their average abilities were high though I found something peculiar.

The queens level and skills had risen significantly overall. But only one. Only the skill dark energy didnt rise at all. Although it could be increased by consuming herbs or meat rted to it scattered in nature, most cases were due to demons or higher demon followers infusing others with it. That was why I guess it was unaffected.
Here was the question.
What happened to the Demon King?
The Demon King Pedonar ruled the Southern part of the Central Continent. During the festival, he ran around pretending to be my father-inw. He caused me plenty of trouble, and he yed a role inying the groundwork for a new technique. So, I wanted to surprise Demon King B, who didnt know anything, by introducing him to the new technique
The Demon King? If its about Pedonar, I didnt hear that he was resurrected.
Is that so?
Then whom was that dark energy received from? It would be from the demons, but they were also ruled by their superiors. If it was going to be like that, it was normal for the Demon King to finallye out. But the Demon King didnt exist now.
Then who the hell
Hero. Now you may not be good enough, but please defeat the Five Great Disasters and save humanity by improving your abilities.
Abilities, huh
If Im not good enough right now, how much more are you talking about?

Even though the ck Box wasnt activated, all of the existing skills were open. So it was a bit funny because it seemed like the faculty staff who might have been watching the game from afar were iming that this was a review rather than a regression. In terms of skills alone, I was far more disadvantaged than Lanuvel.
But the level. My level was high enough to sweep a hundred Lanuvels away lightly. The higher the level of skill, the higher the efficiency. My F-ss skills wereparable to others S-ss skills. The experience gained by killing three middle school students was that much. My level had been even higher before, too. After all, it declined after returning the souls of the three middle school students to the admission counselor to ensure a profitable deal.
Still, the fact that the skill was a deformed ability that couldnt keep up with the level didnt change.
It doesnt matter.
I muttered as I left the audience. My ultimate goal was to bepletely freed from these abilities. The Demon King bragged, Dont worry about it disappearing! but that was the story for when I became the Demon Kings son-inw.
I had no intention of marrying that cowardly woman. I shudder at her cowardice.

I nced pleasantly at the skills that my proficiency was umting. A whopping 35% of Gifted ZZs limit-breaking proficiency! It was the result of gradually improving the skills while using one that reached MAX level as a sacrifice. These current skills were raised from F-ss to MAX during the festival.
Except for Fabrication. There was only one conclusion to reach. My production and auxiliary skills should be raised. This was because you cant sacrifice duplicate skills. I raised it to 35% withbat skills alone, but now there was no way to raise it further. The remaining breakthroughs were only possible with production and auxiliary-rted skills.
I had to raise the skills in this area to MAX level and fill in the remaining 65%.
Hero, is that something that matters?
There is such a thing.
Please teach this Lanuvel.
You are persistent. Ah! By any chance, do you know the Sword Princess?
What? Yes. I know. Shes a famous genius swordsman in the North Continent. Thedys social circles have been talking about how she said she would marry the man who defeated her. She is second ce in thepanion recruitment rankings! I hope that the Heros swordsmanship skills have grown enough to defeat the Sword Princess.
Win in sword fighting, huh?
There were times when I pierced her with my holy spear, a couple of hundred chainedbos.
You must be confident in your sword. But why are you suddenly asking about the Sword Princess?
Is there anything about her having a baby?
B-baby?! The Sword Princess couldnt have had a baby in a situation where no man defeated her. Why? Are you going to propose to her?
Well
I thought I would know only when I met her and saw the situation. Was she hiding the existence of the child, or was he not yet born? But it was certain that my first destination was the North Continent. While there, lets defeat the Five Great Disasters as I check on the Sword Princess and the child.
? The disaster of the North Continent: Subjugation of Frost Queen Elsh (0/1)
She wasnt such a tough opponent if I had enough cold resistance. Getting there was much more cumbersome and difficult. But I had the wings of a righteous hero.
I could also ride on Green Cakes back if it were necessary. What was left?
Haha! Hero, wee to the Royal Pce Training Grounds! Looking at your wless skin like a girls, it seems you have never been properly trained. But dont worry. The kingdoms best sword will make you a great Hero! And in a short time.
The Sword King Alex. This son of a bitch. Unlike the elementary education curriculum, which was full of consideration, they didnt provide five days of fantasy adaptation this time. As soon as the kings audience was over, the royal pce knights following me led me to the pce training ground.
And I met my swordsmanship teacher. In Lukes strategy book, it was said that if you praise Alex, who was sessful as amoner, your training intensity will be morefortable. But I didnt feel the need to get along with him. I had no desire to be trained.
I was leaving for the North Continent right away.
Ha! Alex. If you can, go for it!
He couldnt beat me even if he were upgraded in the secondary education curriculum like Lanuvel. And today, I would walk out and leave him with a herniated disc. This was the determined future.
First of all, I have to show the proud Hero our difference in level.
Level? Im going to teach you today that theres a sky above the sky, Alex. The cost of education will be a bit expensive.
If you are the sky, it is too narrow. You have already been cut.
What?
Ssh-!
Blood spurted horizontally from my waist. I couldnt believe it either, even when I saw it. I, who was a good and righteous hero, was defeated by Alex, an ignorant savage? But when? How?
Its called Heart Sword.
The sword of the heart?
Its crazy
It was widely believed in fantasy academia that overwhelming levels crushed skills. But there were exceptions everywhere.

Alex has made it, huh
Sword King Alex, who always used ignorant tactics, came to show a profound sword technique called the sword of the heart. I went through all sorts of strange things in my life, huh?
But thats it.
Chiiii
The wound on my back healed in an instant. Bleeding? No worries because I am a spirit. My body wasnt made of any amino acids or water that make up an ordinary human.
Instead, I was made up of fine particles. A type of dark matter that existed everywhere in the world. In other words, it was very difficult in reality to kill me with such a small wound.
The wounds from the Heart Sword wont heal well.
Do I care?
sh- Thud!
This time it was my neck. It would have been cut in half, but my cervical vertebrae blocked it. If you aim for the opponents neck and lumbar disc, it was also essential to prepare for the opposite. Thanks to the disc of the bone joint that was as strong as legendary metal, it left no scratch. Only the soft flesh was cut.
Are you a monster?
Is it normal for you to kill a hero?
Now it is an actual fight. And I didnt mean to cut youpletely. There are healers around, and even if you die, there are means to call the saints of neighboring countries.
Alex was still Alex. I thought he had be apletely different person to use such profound swordsmanship. He must have gotten stronger, but that was no reason for me to fall before this savage.
This wasnt pride. Its a proven theory! I hadnt figured out a way to stop Swordsmanship ZZZ yet, but it wasnt strong enough to inflict a fatal wound on me.
Beside that
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
The five spirits gathered after smelling the blood of the MAX-ss hero. Even from a kilometer away, they smelled my blood like a group of sharks and immediately surrounded me. Then they rubbed my cheeks and touched me with their hands.
Like a sex offender pretending to be innocent.
Youre no different from vampires, huh.
It seemed that they could smell the blood of this hero even from the edge of the continent.
O-oh, my gosh
Alex started to panic. I wondered why, and after the Mind Spirit with the crown slid on my ring, the attack stopped suddenly.
Sword of the heart. Spirit of the heart. Does it mean that they couldmunicate between hearts?
If you dont have any more tricks to show me, Ill go this time.
I stepped forward. The quick-witted Wind Spirit pushed my back with a gust of wind, and the Earth Spirit gave me solid footing. There was no air resistance since nature was helping me out in return for its sexual harassment.
On the contrary, Alex was put in a difficult situation. The Fire Spirit evaporated the moisture from the air and attacked Alexs eyes, causing him a case of severe dry eye. Alexs two feet began to sink like he was standing in a muddy swamp thanks to the Water Spirit.
Bam-!
I ignored Alexs sword and blew off his chin. Realizing that my bones were so hard that normal attacks wouldnt work, I knew that Alex would aim at my eyeholes. I learned this tactic from him, after all. But our level was more than five times different. This difference couldnt be ovee even if one possessed many Transcendental Realm Skills. Alexs Swordsmanship ZZZ was unexpected, but it worked because it was unexpected.
Thats not usually the case, just like now.
Kuemp-?!
For Alex!
Kuuurgh?!
Someone like Alex!
My right hand, full of particles, beat Alexs body mercilessly. Was it because he had a lot of defensive Transcendental Realm Skills? Alexs body was as hard as a punching bag. However, his bodys bnce had already been altered by the particles. Was it something like a mutant contaminated with radiation?
Dump-!
Alex, who looked like a crushed aluminum can, finally copsed. No, it would be correct to say that I allowed him to copse. I had relieved the stress that had umted over the past several incidents.
Uh! As expected, this taste!
After all, Alex was the only one who could release my cluttered heart so quickly. No woman could match him, no matter how great she was.
Sir Alex?!
Oh! Oh, my God! Oh, God
Hold your breath!
Sir Alex! Put yourself together!
The royal pce knights and healers who were watching outside the pce training center rushed forward. Then they began to look at Alex, who had be a crushed can.
Hum~ hmm~?
I turned around with a light step and a hum. Compared to the first session of the elementary education curriculum, where I was only beaten by Alex, the start of the secondary education curriculum was very smooth.
? Difficulty: Im not sure if this is going smoothly. The progress is so different from when I was in school
Oh! Miss Trainee Teacher? Did you transfer to middle school?
? Wee: Its been a long time since Ive seen you! Student Kang Han-soo! You used to sing that you would return to Earth, but I didnt know you would take the secondary education curriculum. Ah! Transfer? I dont know what to say. I was in the elementary education center chiefs course until yesterday. Its a sudden announcement.
Really? Why do I feel like you are slowly bing my exclusive agent?
? Anxiety: I dont know why my great seniors keep entrusting honor students like Student Kang Han-soo to a novice trainee teacher like me. The more opportunities I have for practice, the closer I get to being hired, but Im not sure if Im doing well.
My secret friend! Dont worry too much about it. At least you dont raise my blood pressure.
? Difficulty: It isnt good of a teacher to please their students. It is said that praise makes even whales dance, but sometimes I have to be prepared for criticism and say the right thing. Ah! I didnt mean to tell you this. I have something to confess in advance.
A confession? Please take a number and wait.
? Surprise: Its not one for love!
Then what is it?
?Description: I specialize in the elementary education curriculum. Therefore, I only know the secondary education curriculum from my own school memories, so my professionalism is low. I am diligently reading the manual, but my experiences will be the main source.
Oh! The school days of Miss Trainee Teacher! As you imed, if you were a beautiful woman, there would be many men attracted to you, right? Maybe Alex also?
? Firm: I declined. Ah! Anyway, I was going to talk about the Sword King. He wasnt that strong when I took the secondary school entrance exam. The Heart Sword, he said? Even only a few master that technique among the seniors who majored in physical education.
What? Did I just get scammed?
?Exin: Its not like that. The difficulty level of the entrance exam increases or decreases ording to the level of the student. If the test level is too low or too high, it is difficult to determine the strengths and weaknesses of students. In other words, it means that the reason the Sword King became so strong is because of Cadet Kang Han-soo.
I vaguely understood what you meant. When I regress (get re-tested), I usually drop to Level 1. So, I be weak enough to be unterally beaten by Alex.
However, this was an entrance exam, not a re-exam. To create a simr environment without lowering to Level 1, the environment had to be stronger. Should I say that the season was changed to summer instead of looking for an indoor swimming pool to enjoy the water in winter?
It was truly a divine idea. Then there was something I didnt understand.
But I defeated Alex, right?
? Confusion: It means that Cadet Kang Han-soo has a strength that the system didnt read. Originally, you must be defeated and receive his teachings again. And its not over yet. If the Sword King were at this level, how strong would the Five Great Disasters beI have no imagination.
Due to the fact that there is a rtive grading system, and not an absolute one, the entrance exam has be more difficult than the curriculum of the secondary education itself.
But I understand the purpose.
Its about going back to the beginning.
Bringing together thepanions who had be stronger ording to my level and defeating the Five Great Disasters that were strengthened to an even more ridiculous level with the power of friendship. It was the content of the entrance exam.
However
Hero. Lanuvel asked the healer. Alex is not feeling well, so I think it will be difficult for him to join us. Hes the strongest potential on the continent I know, and its a big deal.
Why? There is still the Knight King.
Knight King? Who is it?
Ah! Is the masochist still out of business?
He was still practicing in the wild, harming himself. The grand title of Knight King was also obtained long afterward. It wasnt unreasonable that Lanuvel, who pretended to be cute, didnt know.
But I didnt really care. My body was strong enough that I didnt need a meat shield. If it werent enough, I could get more support from those around me and be stronger. The power of friendship with Alex was unnecessary.
Alexs schedule was changed because his physical condition is very poor. Originally, after receiving his special training for ten days, you would be joining the Saint in the Holy Kingdom. We n to board a ship from the Merchant Republic to the east and cross over to the Eastern Continent. Is there anything you would like to do before leaving for the Holy Kingdom?
This also seemed to have changed. Originally, training waspleted only after passing Alexs test or being beaten for a year, but it seems to have been shortened to ten days because it was more like a review.
Some parts showed little flexibility, though. It felt like a timid editor making only minor edits.
? Supplement: I dont know whether the editor is timid. There is no doubt that the curriculum is evolving over time. This is a story I heard from a senior. In the distant past, it was very frustrating because of the stereotype that a hero was a man and theirpanions were women. They said that thest trace of that was the profession of the saint.
I see! Thanks for providing unnecessary information! Miss Trainee Teacher!
?Pout: Its said that chatting doesnt pay taxes. I feel nauseous just looking at the secondary education school curriculum manual, which is as thick as an encyclopedia. So please understand this much. Were friends.
Right, my secret friend. Whenever its too hard, just tell this MAX-ss hero. Ill ignore the waiting numbers andfort you.
Hero? Are you listening to what Lanuvel is saying?
No. What did you say? I didnt listen to it at all because it was such a trivial story told by the trivial Lanuvel.
Boo do you have any other ns before you leave for the Holy Kingdom?
Yes.
Oh! Really? If you have nothing in mind, for now, Lanuvel would like to introduce you to a nice bar. The mutton and wine are fantastic!
Mutton and wine?
Are you talking about Tonys bar?
Huh!? How did you know? It seems that it was a much more famous bar than Lanuvels thought. The hero who just crossed over even knows it!
About that
Miss Trainee Teacher was right. The curriculum was constantly evolving. The bar that Tony, a former assassin, ran was a restaurant I rmended to Lanuvel to enter the ck market. But I never thought shed be the one rmending it. If my guess were correct, Lanuvel would mimic my 2nd ythrough and lead me to the ck market to face Sylvia. This would allow her to join me as apanion much sooner.
Very naturally.
Hero, would you like to go there? Its Lanuvels treat!
This damn bitch was pretending to be cute and tantly viting copyrights!
No.
Eh?! Why?!
I dont need an Elf who handled spirits wonderfully. This was because the spirits were already clinging to my body, and I already knew that there was a much greater being in dealing with the spirits. Thanks to Lanuvel, the next matter on the schedule had been decided.
We are going to the Elf Kingdom.
To meet the First Spirit. To develop my new technique, fine particles, I need her advice as another user.
Sword King Alex. Elf Queen Sylvia. These two useless things were out for now. The power of friendship? It was a trivial problem that would be resolved once Im three times stronger.
? Worry: The elves guarding the pce must have be incredibly strong?
I dont think so, Miss Trainee Teacher! Because the spirits who pretend to be innocent and sexually harass me are on my side. Elves without spirits are pushovers.
The necessary preparations to take over the Elf Kingdom wereplete with only my armpits and groin.
If there are those among the spirits who think otherwise, then they can leave!
Thats what I thought.
Chapter 170 - [11th Playthrough] Don’t Cryd
Chapter 170 - [11th ythrough] Dont Cry?
Having confirmed the loyalty of the natives, I moved on to the next question.
You need money to go on a business trip, and the hero who would save the world was no exception. Although I couldnt actively support them, it had been a long time since I raised my hands for the characters of Fantasy, from where I received everything from lodging to food and traveling expenses.
But I wasnt worried about this either.
Hero! I wondered what happened for you to be asking for an audience. Was it to take my time with an outrageous request for subsidies? Get out of the city, hunt monsters, and sell their by-products to make your money. How good it is to raise your experience points?
Dumpling King said, shaking his plump cheeks. He didnt say it out loud, but it meant that he felt very ufortable about it. But that was only for a moment. It was because of the sweet voice that came from his side.
Your Majesty. To say that to the hero, Im so disappointed with Your Majesty that my heart is broken. He is a great man who must be served with all our heart, even if he wants more than a grant.
Queen! What!
Is there anything wrong with what I said?
The Queen stared at the Dumpling King with wet eyes as if she were about to burst into tears. Her slender hands were gently stroking the back of her chubby husbands hand.
You werent wrong. I must have been a little carried away.
The Dumpling King, whose calm expression now loosening, replied. Then he called the attendant and instructed him to hand me arge bag of money, as requested by the Queen. The Queen, an E-ss demon follower, felt my Dark Energy Z from our first encounter, and her body was heating up to the utmost.
She looked at me anxiously with deepening eyes.
Hero. You have a lot to do, but can you spare some time for meter?
It wasnt the type of attitude she would show next to her husband. However, the King, swallowed up by her skill, quietly listened to our conversation.
Ill think about it.
Its an infinite honor for me!
ng!
Having acquired therge money bag, I turned around without hesitation. It cost quite a lot of money to get to the Elf Kingdom at the western end of the Central Continent. And now that I had secured the travel funds, I had no further business in this kingdom.
The next task was the teleportation magic circle. It wasnt difficult to use it as long as you had money, but there was no direct path to the closed Elf Kingdom. To break this firewall, I needed an official from the Elf Kingdom, a trusted executive in the kingdom.
I knew of as many as five such beings who were active outside the country. Sylvia was the closest, but she was out of the question since that wild elf wanted to receive a true education from the ck market. Therefore
Hero! Are you going straight to the Holy Kingdom? Didnt you say youre going to the Elf Kingdom? Thats what Lanuvel remembers.
Lanuvel interfered with me as I ordered teleportation magic from the tower operated by the Dumpling Kingdom to a city in the Holy Kingdom. What I was going to tell her was already decided.
Shut up if youre going to keep following me.
Boo
Lanuvel and I moved to the hidden temple of the Holy Kingdom. In the 9th ythrough, I once rescued the Water Knight, one of the five knights of the Elf Kingdom, from the Wandering Troupe. Then we uncovered this secret ce by defeating the traitor, the Fire Knight, trying to silence her.
I found it again. The way to enter was the same as before, going down the chimney that could be mistaken for a well into the temple and entering the hideout through the passage in the blind spot of the pit trap. There I met an elf.
W-who are you?
If you ask me who I am, its human nature to answer. I am a MAX-ss Hero who spreads the light for free for the sake of peace in the savage Fantasy World.
Is the hero going to take my virginity?!
Was she being vignt about being alone here? This elfs true identity was the Fire Knight. Mage E enjoyed her narcissism to its fullest by wiping her naked body with a towel soaked in water and making various poses in front of a full-length mirror.
Im asking you seriously. What were you doing? Perhaps?
Dont ask! Or I willmit suicide!
Its a new concept of threat!
The Fire Knight, who was thought to be bold enough to betray her colleagues and the Queen, was simply neutralized by being seen naked. How could she misunderstand the righteous hero as a sex offender?!
That was a great excuse. So, I decided to clear up the misunderstanding.
I dont have an ounce of mind to touch a shabby elf like you or to remember your naked body. Because I already own a fair-looking elf. Take a good look.
I summoned Spirit C. The exorcist who could y countless demons with just one breath, and the wife andpanion of the elf hero, her appearance boasted excellence among elves. If I were to rate her, she would be legendary.
She was different from the petty, foolish wizard.
I never thought there would be a more beautiful elf than the Queen
The Fire Knight looked at Spirit C with her mind wandering. She had a look like an aspiring celebrity from the countryside meeting a globally sessful actress.
Youre relieved now, arent you?
My master isnt interested in a petty elf like you, so dont expect anything.
Spirit C leaned against my body. The Water Spirit, which was sticking to my armpit and sniffing like a pervert, protested, but the elf didnt raise an eyebrow.
I didnt know such a hero existed in the world
The Fire Knight quickly cleared up her misunderstandings with the heros tearful efforts. I was ready for a quick conversation.
Mage E. Move me to the Elf Kingdom.
If you intend to destroy the kingdom, I will not cooperate.
I am a hero.
I dont do such irrational things.
I say this because I am anxious about you.
Whats wrong with me?
Its my gut as a wizard. Youre a very dangerous person. You introduced yourself as a hero, but theres no way to prove-
Pop!
I summoned the Holy Sword Nucleon.
Youre indeed a hero. But I still cant trust you enough to move you to the capital city tower in the heart of the Elf Kingdom. Instead, Ill use mybs teleportation magic circle, but that doesnt matter, right?
No problem.
Unless it was too far from the capital, I moved on to the next step.
*
Teleportation magic ignored time and space to move you in a blink of an eye. It was very convenient to hear, but just as an airne needed an airport to take off andnd, this magic also needed a magic circle to designate the scope of its passengers.
I received the magic circle coordinates and code from the Fire Knight. Its kind of like a house key. It meant that with ess to a teleportation magic circle and enough catalysts, I could move directly to the Fire Knightsb anytime, anywhere. Just like right now.
Hssst!
Lanuvel, Mage E, and I moved to a dark ce. The walls were packed with various test tubes, medicinal herbs, medicine bottles, and books.
What a shabby ce.
Excuse me. And the password will be changed soon, so dont think about using it next time.
Really? Thats not good
Whether youre in trouble or not, this is my home-
sh.
I gently caressed between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae of Mage E, who showed her back unprotected. Her body was torn down beautifully.
Its great to have a high level.
I didnt know why I could see beyond Level 999, but many monsters and elves exceeded Level 1000, so it tasted like retrieving their experience point.
? Exnation: I can exin that part right away! I recently read it in the manual! Its a special entrance exam. As Cadet Kang Han-soo said, many beings are over Level 1000, so theres no point in checking their abilities. So, the limit to see the level has been extended to Level 9999 only for the entrance exam.
Thanks for the informative exnation, Miss Trainee Teacher!
The dead Mage Es body was erased without a trace with the Blessing of Death, one of the Blessing Skill effects. Originally, it was something to be done by visiting the nearby temple. Still, no priest in the Fantasy Continent could be superior to a hero with Divinity Z and Blessing MAX.
May you be born as a human being in the future, not an inferior elf
Im a good hero who also prays for the best for others. My interference was really
Hero, hero! Cant Lanuvel talk now? Lanuvels mouth that lost its freedom is as painful as a bluebird in the cage!
Do not. And do not spheme the bluebird.
How could youpare it to Lanuvel?
But what a surprise! Lanuvel was skeptical when you said that you were going to the Elf Kingdom. But then you went to the Holy Kingdom in the east, and then to the Elf Kingdom in the west once again! I cant believe this happened in just one day!
As exined by Lanuvel, who opened her snout and started chatting like a waterfall, not even one day had passed yet. This was the power of teleportation, magic circles, and money! If I had collected money directly from hunting as the Dumpling King suggested, I would have been hovering around the Dumpling Pce even now.
That was extremely inefficient.
Lanuvel.
Yes! Hero!
When youre done talking, shut your mouth again.
Im not done yet! Why did you kill the elf a while ago? She gave the impression of an evil witch hiding in a secret passage in that dungeon infested with monsters, but she was still an elf!
Put aside the prejudice that elves are unconditionally good.
But thats the truth?
Dont insist and look at the world a little wider. This is the real world. Many shameless elves define ugly humans who want to marry an elf ve as evil and think they are the most unlucky people in the world who have been sold into very. How many people die of starvation because they didnt buy them as ves?
Boo
Lanuvel pouted her lips with a disappointed expression but didnt refute my words. I looked around theb and found the exit. She lived in a house without a window like a grim wizard, but even when I opened the door and came out, the surrounding areas werent brighter.
Its already night.
I hadnt done much, but the day has passed. This was because it took a lot of time to go through things like identity checks and preparation whenever using the teleportation magic of the magic tower. Still, this was pretty fast. Because I was a sacred guest in any case with Divinity Z, I could use the teleportation magic circle as a top priority without waiting in the queues.
The location of Mage Esb was better than expected. It was outside the capital of Elf Kingdom, but so was the butcher I was about to visit. I nned to use the butchers secret passage to reach the sewer where the First Spirit was imprisoned.
Hero, are you not sleeping?
Are you sleepy when the world is in crisis?
Uhbut Lanuvel still gets sleepy. After all, I firmly believe that you will save the world! Its been like that in the past, and its going to be like that in the present and the future. Cause, thats the truth!
Lets not talk.
It was my fault for trying to talk to Lanuvel. However
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Whirling, whirling!
Was it because the Elf Kingdom couldnt exist without the spirits? As it was a town with a high density of spirits, the number of spirits hovering around me had also increased sharply, waiting around because there was no room left to rub me. Far from decreasing in number, it became more crowded as the spirits spread the word.
This made it difficult to sneak in.
I turned to the spirits.
If you keep following me, be careful not to get caught. If the wild elves discover you, you have nothing to gain. Okay?
Pretending to be innocent, the spirits nodded as if they knew.
Dont cry ? Dont cry ? They say that the human hero didnt help the crying elf~? The human hero knows ? who is a good elf or a bad elf ? They said they went tonight~.?
The lyrics were strangely different, but it was a familiar melody of a childrens song. In the elfs household, it seemed that the human hero was a pushover, and he had been systematically trained since childhood.
Thud-! Squeeze! Whing~
In the direction of the grotesque agitation, the fire soared, and the ground split, followed by a whirlwind to sweep away the wreckage.
This, perhaps?
The spirits who removed the witnesses (?) were caught giving high-fives.
Chapter 171 - [11th Round] I Love You, Master!
Chapter 171 - [11th Round] I Love You, Master!
The elves, who woke up after hearing the noises caused by spirits who misunderstood the songs lyrics, rushed out of the house. And as the lyrics say, they found a real human hero.
Mostly the reactions were:
Its human.
Its a real human being.
His ears are round.
He has a lot of muscle.
Ive never seen a human before.
It was as if they had found a strange carnivore. This was because most of the elves had never been out of the kingdom due to the closed policies of the Elf King. Although they each had youthful appearances, they were over hundreds of years old. However, their experiences in the world were less than that of a ten-year-old human child.
Curiosity, fear. Two broadly divided eyes looked at me. But it wasnt for long.
The spirits are going crazy!
Hey, what a bolt out of the blue is this?
Calm down, friend! Calm- kugh?!
The spirits who didnt want to be kicked away from my body started attacking the witnesses. The elves here were helpless. Their abilities were the problem.

It changed like this. Spirit and Blessing, which were the only fighting skills of most elves, were missing. So far, those two alone enabled them to ride out most crises, but this time it was the other way around. The two skills attacked the elves relentlessly.
As I expected, the elves were reduced to nothing more than moving scarecrows.
Hey, bury them while leaving the head behind.
The elves didnt expose their fangs to me, nor did Ie to conquer the Elf Kingdom. I just came to meet the First Spirit in secret.
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
The sound of shoveling could be heard everywhere. It meant that the spirits, having epted my order, stopped tormenting the elves mercilessly and began to bury them in the ground. The elves were stuck in the ground like stakes.
There were only a few elves who escaped by taking advantage of their high levels. Even if their level was high, they had no Muscr Strength Skill to amplify. These were the elf race who entrusted their work to the spirits.
Unfamiliar human. Enough with the violence and stop it.
At this time, there was a group of people blocking my way. A young man at the forefront warned me by pulling out the Spirit Sword Endymion, the third hidden treasure of the Elf Kingdom. I knew very well who this elf was.
Prince Nasus
Commonly known as Mid-Boss. It was hard to feel the majesty of the Mid-Boss after the 2nd ythrough when I was able to use the ck Box. However, the nightmare started toe back to life due to the peculiarity of the entrance exam.

Even though I had vaguely guessed it from the time Sword King Alex used his Heart Sword, Prince Nasuss abilities were also at a level with nothing holding it back. Even he had the Spirit Skill left. As if to prove it, some spirits were following him like loyal subordinates. However, the faces of the spirits were engulfed in conflict and anguish.
Anyway, I felt it in my gut. This man was the real deal. His lieutenant, Elf A, was equally astonishing.
? Race: Half-Elf
? Level: 9999+

In the past, only her breasts were scary, but now her ability surpassed that of a MAX-ss Hero. Prince Nasus wasnt apanied by only a big-breasted lieutenant, though. Knights defending the Elf Kingdom stood behind them. Only those who didnt use spirits from among the elite had been brought in.
Quantity and quality. A situation unfavorable both ways. It had been a long time since I felt an inferiorityplex.
Is it because of you that the spirits run amok?
The spirits who found the wild elves threatening me showed excessive loyalty.
If it were a human country, we would apologize, but this is an elf country. The act of discovering and threatening strangers is considered a legitimate response. If you have dignity, please disclose your purpose for visiting this country and disarm yourself.
As expected, it was a manly speech full of the kings qualities. This time, I couldnt think of anything to say or respond to. If it had been Princess Sylvia instead of Prince Nasus, she would have given me an excuse first by shouting, Kill that filthy human!
This prince wasnt that stupid. He pressured me with the theory. However, I also had no intention of disarming myself in this way. This was because I trust Prince Nasus, but I didnt trust the incumbent Elf King, whose hatred of humanity had reached its peak.
I dont know what harm he would attempt on me. That was why I had only one choice.
My purpose is to rescue the First Spirit imprisoned in the basement of the royal pce. Prince Nasus, if you know about righteousness and cooperation, do not stand in my way.
No one will step back, huh?
So you already know?
Unfamiliar human. Id like to ask how you know the secret, but Ill put it off until weve subdued you. I need to hear who knows other than youhuh? Howe?
I raised the corner of my lips and grinned. I was just attacked by a surprise attack with the Princes Heart Sword. However, the crowned Mind Spirit covered me just like the time with Alex. The Swordsmanship ZZZ effect was useless on me.
However, the situation still wasnt favorable. As soon as he realized that the Heart Sword didnt work, Prince Nasus, changing tactics, leaped to me and drew his Spirit Sword vertically. I responded to it with the Holy Sword Nucleon.
ng! ng! ng! ng!
I was in a hurry to block. There was no time for other thoughts to squeeze in. Blocking Prince Nasuss Heart Sword didnt reduce his actual skill, which reached Level ZZZ. It was a miracle that I, who stopped at Swordsmanship MAX, endured like this.
Are you a human?
Prince Nasus, his surprise attack failed, took a step back and asked me. He had the upper hand in Swordsmanship, but I was overwhelmingly superior in physical ability. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that I endured it with high reflexes and a good weapon. I answered honestly to confuse him.
No. And thank you for giving me time to think.
I didnt have to fight alone. I had only dealt with Prince Nasus for a while, but from now on, I would be fighting some powerful lowly fellows, including Elf A. I also needed reinforcements. The power of friendship?
No. This was the power of domination. Weapons that could attack and mercilessly kill family and loved ones if I ordered them to.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
I summoned the four old spirits. They, who could see their opponents abilities like me, were astonished to see Prince Nasus and Elf A.
Were Transcendent beings somon?
Swordsmanship Level ZZZ? Thats crazy
Master? This could be a bit dangerous, right?
Is this the ce I used to know?
I didnt listen to theints of those whose names I couldnt even remember. I hope that the seniors who ruled the gxy would act like trusted subordinates. Surely they wouldnt be defeated by the minions of one kingdom, would they?
IndeedI was wondering why you were going to save the First Spirit, but you were a very talented shaman.
Shaman? Thats disappointing. Im not finished yet.
I summoned Saint H and Green Cake. The saint showed off her absolute beauty in front of elves who thought they were beautiful even though they were as t as LCD monitors. And a green baby dragon who wasnt yet five years old and boasted a muchrger size than an adult.
The two spread their wings and covered the sky.
Is it the Elf Kingdom?
Greeee-!
The best power I could pull out right now. Of course, it was also a gathering crowd who would be easily cut down by Prince Nasus if I were careless.
But the same went for my opponent. Except for Prince Nasus, the lowly fellows, including the lieutenant Elf A, were nothing more than lumps of experience.
Holy angel and a giant dragon? What the hell are you?
Im a hero.
I gave a brief answer to Prince Nasuss question. He looked sorrowful.
I see. The heroes of all time have had a strange fantasy and infinite favor about our elf race, but this hero who approached the truth is different. Haha! If we kill the hero, the world will perish, but if we keep him alive, the elves will perish, right? Hero, please. Cant you turn a blind eye to the truth? Elves are an inferior race that cannot live without spirits. Please do me a favor.
Tell that to the First Spirit.
Ill respectfully serve you and talk to you againter.
The peaceful conversation ended there. Still, hadnt the princes ultimate goal of evacuating innocent citizens in this time been aplished?
With all due respect to the great prince.
Otherwise, my neck might be cut through in the blink of an eye.
Level 14049 Level 13000 Level
Misceneous heroic spirits that live and breathe forever in my heart. Give me strength!
*
It was a very fierce battle. My victory, which I reached by temporarily boosting my abilities dozens of times by consuming experience, was nothing short of a fact. Still, I couldnt defeat the strongest power of the Elf Kingdom without any sacrifices.
Please, be merciful
Prince Nasus, whose heart was pierced by the Holy Sword Nucleon, left his will as I recovered the spoils of experience.
Level 8000 Level 12281
But the experience was very poor. Prince Nasus had also set fire to his experience to counter my amplification. He fought with a determination to win, using the Overpower skill. It was a skill that Prince Nasus didnt originally have but it was likely something he learned on his own during the battle as soon as he was put at a disadvantage. Then he relentlessly used the Level F ineffective skills.
This was the result.
Even if you win, you lose!
My level had decreased slightly from before the start of the battle. The damage didnt stop there, either. Spirit B and Spirit D were killed by the pincer attack of Elf A and the lowly fellows. However, I couldnt remember who they were, so I decided to seek the help of Miss Trainee Teacher.
Miss Trainee Teacher?
? Commentary: Spirit Bs true identity is Silerion, the Sword Star. He is the elf warrior that Cadet Kang Han-soo defeated on Earth. He is also the brother of Silesia, the elf who watches over the First Spirit. Spirit Ds name is Cyriel. She is the daughter of Archangel Viruel, who is said to have sworn allegiance to the First Hero.
All right, Ill pray for your happiness in the next life! But there was no need to recall their personal information. Like most spirits, even if they died in the material world, I thought they would resurrect over time, but they didnt.
When they die, its over! This was because they were absorbed by the other spirits.
Spirit A + Spirit B = Spirit A+
Spirit C + Spirit D = Spirit C +
Like this. Was it because my spirit attribute was human? The spirit union, like a recycling center, had great potential.

Lets hear from Spirit A, who has be extremely strong.
Its creepy. I am certainly the Dark Prince Boris, but Silerions knowledge and experience are pouring in. My ears also be pointed like an elfbut I dont know what to do. Whates to mind is the time he spent with his wife
Erase it from your head right now, Prince Boris. If you dont want to be purified?.
Spirit C, who was the wife of the deceased Spirit B, smiled. Although she had a sinister, murderous smile, it was clear that she felt good at the moment.
Fluttering, fluttering~.
It is thanks to inheriting the superior body of Spirit D, who was an angel. To her, a pure-blooded elf, raising her abilities seemed like a trivial gain.

Her ability had improved too much to be dismissed as a lowly fellow like before. Wouldnt demons and human men alike melt away just by looking at her swaying fruit?
I alternated between looking at the two spirits. Then, I decided.
Boris.
Oh! What happened to make you call my name correctly?
I am so sorry.
What-?
Snap!
Instead of answering, I snapped my finger.

Spirit C. From today on, you are Boris. Tell me if you dont like it because it sounds like a mans name.
Oh, it can be that! I love you, Master!
Burying the sorrow of parting in my heart, the MAX-ss Hero advanced to the only butcher in the Elf Kingdom capital!
Chapter 172 - [11th Round] Spaceman
Chapter 172 - [11th Round] Spaceman
Hey, Hero? Hero~?
Please listen to Lanuvel! Please listen to Lanuvel! Please listen to Lanuvel! Lanuvel! Lanuvel! Lanuvel!
Hey-hey. I got it, so shut up!
How can I say anything when I shut up?!
What are you making a fuss about?
After canceling the summoning of Saint H, Green Cake, and Boris, I was going down through the passage hidden in the butchers freezer. However, Lanuvel, who imed to be the herospanion and stood by without helping at all just because the opponents were elves, called out to me annoyingly.
She should have been grateful for not being torn to pieces!
How do you know everything?
Who am I?
You are the hero.
Do you need more of a reason?
Boonow Lanuvel has nothing to do. Lanuvels role is to guide the Hero, but as you know better, the value of Lanuvels existence is diminishing. At this rate, I might be unemployed in a few days.
Thats fine.
Oh? Really? Lanuvel doesnt mind if you are fine if Lanuvel follows you around doing nothing.
You cant twist my words!
This hero couldnt ept unemployed people who follow him around while acting cute!
But if Lanuvel disappears, you will feel empty and sad, right?
Empty? Sad? I know from my experience that the world will look about 2% more beautiful.
Well see if its true!
Huh? Are you going to leave?
Why? Are you suddenly regretting it?
Its not like that. Im just amazed.
It was Lanuvel who followed me with all her might, even when I kicked her wicked ass that twitched from side to side to torment innocent bachelors. But now she said she would leave so easily?
The oracle came down a while ago.
The oracle?
There have been several oracles since the 1st ythrough. When I was a rookie hero who knew nothing, the source from which I got the information that I could return to Earth by defeating the Demon King was also from the Oracle.
And one of the sources of those prophecies was Lanuvel. Knowing the truth from the 2nd ythrough, I took the initiative in making the adventure schedule, but in the 1st ythrough Lanuvel, who received those prophecies, served as a guide. So I had a very hard time
To the point where I clenched my teeth!
More heroes will be summoned. Still, Lanuvel didnt think much of itit seems that there are quite a few heroes to be summoned.
If there are many, how many?
About 300 people?
This is weird. Miss Trainee Teacher?
? Confusion: Ive never heard of it either. This is an entrance exam center tailored to Cadet Kang Han-soos skills. No other cadets can break-in. But archaeologist Lanuvel isnt lying. I have seen the oracles being given down to her dozens of times.
I knew this would happen. I thought this entrance exam was strange ever since the ignorant Alex used the Heart Sword. These scammers are ruining the education world!
? At a loss: Please wait for a moment! Ill find out whats going on!
While we were talking like that, we arrived at our first destination. Underneath the butcher, this wicked-
Its adys room with a lot of dreams.
The wicked- huh? Lanuvel. Listen well. This is the living space of the vicious pimp who imprisoned the First Spirit. The stench of a twisted desire to oppress others is vibrating everywhere! You insult women. Apologize to all thedies in the universe right now.
B-but its adys room just by looking at it!
Just admit it and apologize.
Boo
I again ordered Lanuvel to shut up. This was the reason why I sent back Green Cake, Saint H, and Boris. Having Lanuvel on standby at the primary destination, I made my way to the secondary, final destination alone. Sneakily.
The high altar was the first thing I saw.
Atop, like a moth caught in a spiders web, I could see the translucent dragonfly wings and embarrassingly open legs of the spirit tied to the devils chain in a position of the Chinese character Great(?).
The First Spirit. She didnt seem to notice me behind her.
Shh.
The spirits that followed me also shut their mouths. They seemed to have mistaken the important task of defeating the evil elves and saving their queen as tagging along, but as long as they didnt interfere, I could forgive them.
Because I am an understanding MAX-ss hero!
In the 1st ythrough, there werent only one or two infiltration ns messed up by the colleagues who charged while shouting, Take your hands off her body! Perverted viin! as soon as they saw those caught.
If they were going to do that anyway, they might as well have charged from the start. Why bother sneaking in?
When I asked my colleagues after I managed to patch up the almost destroyed situation due to their failure to infiltrate, they criticized my personality in reverse, saying, How can you think of being patient in that situation?
Anyway
Im at peace now.
There were no interfering colleagues around. If only I could return to Earth, I couldnt wish for anything more. A little distance away, looking at the original entrance to the basement of the pce garden, I saw Elf B waiting for an intruder toe.
The second wife of Boss K, the viin who betrayed her husband and imprisoned the First Spirit. Her unconventional fashion, which was her naked body with fancy essories and piercings, had zero defense. Of course, her abilities were to the point I wanted tough out loud.
? Race: Grand Elf

But it didnt matter. The reason why I didnt go head-on and quietly infiltrated was that I predicted this situation.
Pop!
I summoned the Holy Sword Nucleon. And the de, which slid straight out of my hand, prated precisely between Elf Bs 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. An attire with zero defense and poor defensive skills. No matter how high her level was, she couldnt stop my Holy Sword in this situation.
Her spirit affinity was Level ZZZ, and many powerful spirits followed her here, but they had nobat experience. Not knowing it was an assassination attempt, they joined in with my spirits and remained silent. And when they realized the situation, it was toote.
The only thing these spirits could do btedly was spin around the dying Elf B and said, What do I do! What do I do? repeatedly.
H-how did you break in?
With a Holy Sword stuck in the center of her slim waist, Elf B staggered and turned around. It wouldnt be strange to die instantly from such a wound, but with the Blessing skill and support of the spirits that followed her, she received a brief grace period.
But that was it. She couldnt afford to fight.
Because you taught me.
Regressionthen youre
Elf B, who understood the situation right away with my words, couldnt finish what she wanted to say and passed silently on.
Level 12281 Level 20156
My level had gone up tremendously. It was thanks to Elf Bs rich experience as a being who had lived for a long time. And yet, her defense was too weak!
It was a mass of experience that surpassed the incumbent Elf King.
Drug hero! Stop staring at the naked female elf and release me immediately!
The First Spirit, who noticed the abnormality and found me, struggled without waiting for a moment.
What the hell is with that title?
I was so bor- cough. After much consideration, I decided so! Youre a drug hero that the spirits always follow once they smell your body.
The First Spirit spoke like a schr who decided on a scientific name. I climbed the altar at a leisurely pace. Then, I put my finger close to the face of the spirit the size of a ping-pong ball.
The spirits high-bridged nose was fluttering, turning in the direction my finger moved. Up, down, right, left, front, back
It was a pet-like reaction, seeking a treat in their owners hand. It was fun, so I yed for a while, but the First Spirit btedly screamed after realizing her misbehavior.
Stop! Im not ying with drugs!
Is it okay to treat a kind-hearted hero as an ominous drug?
Its true, isnt it?
Instead of refuting, I brought up the subject.
The first drug addict. Exin what you know about the fine particles.
*
It seemed that she wanted to y hardball while being clingy, but the First Spirit eventually gave in to the temptations of freedom and drugs (?) and talked about what she knew. It crossed the boundaries of science, sci-fi, and fantasy.
In other words, dark matter, like the constituents of the atmosphere, is not made of a single matter, is it?
Right. And fine particles are a part of it.
Ancient humans treated the transparent atmosphere as a single substance. However, the atmosphere was made up of 78% nitrogen, 20.9% oxygen, and 0.9% argon. The same was true for dark matter. Humans on Earth had barely understood the existence of dark matter. However, theposition hadnt been identified.
So, what is the conclusion?
Drug hero, you are mistaken. Dark matter is said to make up about 30% of the universe, but it is more than 90%. Among them, the proportion of particles is about 70%. After all, the arrogant creatures that im to be the rulers even though they are helpless without the sun that illuminates this are also under the protection of the fine particles. But only 30%? Which idiot said that?
I shrugged. After all, I didnt study that seriously. My knowledge came from a documentary and a science magazine that I happened to see.
Then do spirits live in space?
Of course. Because there are also fine particles in space, although ignorant elves and humans limit the spirit to the five attributes, they are much more diverse. They have evolved in different ways over the eons; even angels and demons born of light and darkness are also spirits in a broader sense. And it continues to grow even now, just like with you. You are a human-like spirit.
Ah!
At some point, I felt like I had been hit upside the head. That was because of my racial characteristics.

It upied a significant portion of mybat power that reduced my dependence on skills. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that I would be a corpse if not for my race. However, my misunderstanding was reflected here.
Characteristic 1, Characteristic 2, Characteristic 3. These three are separated. ording to the exnation given by the First Spirit, the exact effect was duplicated beyond a simr level. This meant that it had been used very inefficiently.
The problem didnt stop there. Unique 1, Unique 2. If dark matter upied 90% of the universe, what were experience points? I heard the other day that the abilities were created bybining the power of the First Demon (darkness) and the First Angel (light).
And the reason I can deal with fine particlesit was interpreted that the experience points I controlled were ultimatelyponents of dark matter, like a spirit made up of fine particles.
Haha, hahaha
The situation didnt end here. I had one more skill rted to the universe.

Chapter 173 - [11th Round] Favoritism
Chapter 173 - [11th Round] Favoritism
It was a very strange sensation. I had always lived modestly because I clearly knew my abilities and limitations. After all, anyone could be strong enough if they remained in the Fantasy World for as long as I did.
But now, that perception was about to change slightly. Even when Lanuvel in the 1st ythrough said, You are the chosen hero! I didnt think that I was special.
I am an Earthman kidnapped into a Fantasy World by chance. I was like a victim of a psychopath who would attack anyone for no reason. However
I feel like a genius from birth, huh?
The sense of omnipotence makes you feel like you can do anything if you put your mind to it, just like the protagonist in a novel, who seeds unconditionally even if he pushes through with mistakes and without thorough preparation. Is fortune following me?
For me, now, even a 1% chance was no different than a 100% chance. As my abilities rapidly increased, my options increased, and with so many options to choose from, it became difficult to choose the next n. Should I say that these are pleasant worries?
Drug hero, what are you doing? Quickly release this chain! If you just go and fail to keep your promise, Ill curse you forever!
I was awakened from my thoughts by the First Spirit. She felt a change in me, but she didnt seem to care much.
Cant you bear it for a while?
It is simr to a human diet. You can bear it when there are only bad things around me, but when delicious things surround you, it bes painful.
Do you know about dieting?
But she was a spirit, right?
I am the First Spirit. I have lived more years than humans can fathom. Ive seen more than five hundred princesses go on a suicidal diet to take care of their bodies ten days before their wedding. Including the sight of them bingmon middle-aged women due to yo-yo dieting and pregnancy after that. Hmm. Elves are very free in that respect. No matter how much they eat, they wont gain weight.
In the modern world, obesity was considered bad, and it had a very bad effect on health. However, here, there was no sin in gaining weight if you eat a lot. This was because it was a survival strategy to store nutrients in the body. Conversely, it was a problem that the elves didnt gain weight no matter how much they ate.
If they broke their regr diet, they would soon suffer from malnutrition. They couldnt eat ahead of time like humans and skip a meal or two.
Anyway, I touched the demonic chain that bound the First Spirit.
Burst
That alone broke the chain.
Level 1 Level 1872
I drained all the experience points. The demons chain was strengthened by absorbing the experience points of the bound target. And as I quickly drew in the umted experience points like this, it lost its function and form. So far, so good.
If theres only one thing thats bothering me
Swoooo-
A strange force was trying to pull my soul somewhere. Its power was still weak, but I couldnt help but be bothered about it because it hadnt happened before. When the First Spirit was released, she moved toyfortably over my head.
As a reward for keeping your promise, I will give you good information. There are so many things you can do if you are loved by nature. But they say its not good to overdo anything, right? The same goes for this one. If the love of nature goes too far, you will be absorbed as a part of it. Thats why I couldnt be infinitely strong even after eons of time, and the fingers of the drug hero tricked me.
No, that seems to be a separate issue
Its the same! I saw it!
Oh, yeah. I get it, so dont rub your ass on my head!
I was appalled that it was possible. I think thats why love is so scary.
Being absorbed into nature and bing one is, in a sense, the same as euthanasia, so be careful. Ah! I forgot to tell you how. You have to be able to control your power. The greater the love, the greater the power to borrow from nature, but the higher the chance of being absorbed.
What about favoritism?
Heehee, heeheehee!
Suddenly, the First Spirit began to let out a strange-soundingugh as her shoulders and hips shook.
What?
Its so surprising! Favoritism! Natures beloved beings are as many as the stars in the universe, but that means youre getting a particr interest! Of course, favoritism doesntst forever. But while you are favored, you can do anything. Including annihting the First Angel! With your life as the price, though.
Its too expensive!
Isnt that cheap from others point of view? Heeheehee!
I want to kill the Fantasy God, but I dont want to die together with them.
Anything else to pay attention to?
Lower your abilities as much as possible. It may have been helpful before, but the skills and levels thate from nature are just the bondage that fuels your demise. If the allowed abilities for you are a hundred, you can only use fifty for attack if you use fifty for defense and support, right? So give up defense and support and invest your hundred into attack! Dont worry about the defense. Those favored by nature wont die even if the gxy explodes. Never.
Hmmm
You dont seem to believe me.
Its not an easy decision to make.
Fluttering.
I pped the wings of the righteous hero that sprouted from my back and soared upward. This was the basement of the pce garden of the Elf Kingdom, but my head never collided with the hard ceiling.
Dukdukdukduk-
The ceiling cracked during the earthquake. The Earth Spirits didnt help out unnoticed. The will of the universe was expressed in harmony with my actions. I escaped to the ground through therge crack that formed.
How about Lanuvel that I left down there?
It was none of my business.
Its great to get the attention of nature. In the aftermath of the earthquake, the pce was split in two. Its so cool!
Do you have any other advice?
Ill give it after you give up your abilities.
Hmph.
My purpose ining to the Elf Kingdom had been achieved. Although the achievements I found through enlightenment were too great to be evaluated lightly, in the first ce, I didnte here with high expectations. The next item on the schedule was
Hero, you cant leave Lanuvel behind!
I forgot.
Lanuvel in the past wouldnt have noticed even if I disappeared, but Lanuvel in this 11th ythrough was an archmage with many Transcendental Realm Skills.
Lanuvel, an archmage? It was a very unexpected turn of the century setting.
Hero! Hero! Its a big deal! There are about five hundred heroes that have already been summoned or scheduled to be summoned, and among them, there are more than fifty heroes that Lanuvel needs to summon! I might die from overwork!
Its something to celebrate.
I wish she would die.
Will you help me?
No. I think this is the end of our adventure. Lanuvel, thank you for following me throughout the day. Lets not see each other again.
Boo
Lanuvel nced back at me as she pretended to leave. It seemed like she wanted me to hold her back, but I ignored her and headed for the royal pce, the heart of the Elf Kingdom.
How dare a human set those filthy feet in my pce!
There was an elf running wild along the way. It wasnt difficult to find the incumbent Elf King. He was locked up in the safest ce in the royal pce, the treasure troves while giving orders.

His ability was insignificant even after the buff. Although his level was high, he wasnt much different from before, where he had nothing to see other than the Spirit Skill.
Oh, my
It became a little troublesome for me, who only wanted to pick up Tears of the Elf King, one of the Great Three hidden treasures of the Elf Kingdom. There was nothing more to do with this kingdom or the elves.
Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
The elves, which were sealed with spirits, fired a volley of arrows at me, but all those arrows missed my body. Despite the hundreds sailing toward me, not a single one reached me.
Wouldnt it be more difficult to deliberately miss? It was a sight suspect of tant maniption beyond luck. On the other hand
Ouch!
The Holy Sword Nucleon slipped from my hand, cut through several elves as if harvesting them, and finally came to a stop inside the Elf Kings chest. There were even some elves who tried to evade. However, they sprained their ankles or collided with their colleagues so that they couldnt avoid the Holy Sword.
I-I cant die like this!
The Elf King cried out with blood welling in his eyes. Then he was enveloped in bright light.
What is it? Self-destruction?
He is reincarnated as a spirit.
The First Spirit, lying on my head in azy posture, exined with a soft tone. I watched the scene with interest. My usual self would have attacked as soon as I realized it was unusual, but I couldnt feel any tension now.
It was a pity that I had no popcorn. The splendid royal clothes fell from the body of the Elf King, who was moving halfway out of the material world. His exposed body gradually changed. The jawline of the Elf King, who had a masculine body shape and appearance even though he was skinny, was growing thinner, and his shoulders narrowed.
Not only that.
Aah!
Imented as I watched the Elf King silently. This was because the precious thing to men deteriorated and shrank, eventually disappearedpletely, and became a bare mountain. That didnt mean he became a woman.
There was nothing there.
Drug hero. Spirits dont exist in the first ce. The spirit of light who rejected it became an angel, and the spirit of darkness became a demon. The same goes for you. But that guys spirit-friendlinesses from a forced oath. The Transcendental Realm is too much for an idiot who is not even an F-ss in the first ce.
The First Spirit calmly exined. The spirit-friendliness of the elves wasnt normal. Therefore, no matter how high the grade was, it couldnt fully draw out its power. Of course, it was still possible to scratch the surface.
Like the Elf King, who was reincarnated as a spirit.

The body of the Elf King was emitting a soft ocher color. He was reincarnated as an Earth Spirit, so there was a big change in his skills. However, the Level ZZ effect of the Spirit Skill, which I thought to have disappeared, continued to appear even after reincarnating.
sh! sh! sh!
The elves who fell with my Holy Sword were reincarnated as spirits. They were reborn with one of the five attributes of the spirit and gathered around the Elf King like an army.
Was it time for the second round? No such event urred.
Kneel.
As the First Spirit spoke, the situation ended. When he was reincarnated from an elf to a spirit, it was no different as if he surrendered. Therefore, Elf B didnt reincarnate as a spirit until the moment he died. Because if she did it, he would be a ve. But the stupid Elf King
His eyes were wide open, and he was confused. He seemed to have just discovered the spirit lying above my head.
The descendants of Elfheim are so stupidits unfortunate, but what happened to the lineage of such clever elves
The First Spirit made aplicated expression as if recalling an old friend.
What do you n to do next?
What do you want to do with the elves, drug hero? It was you who saved me. So I will give you the right to decide.
Hmm. Its a world that will disappear anyway
*
I freed the spirits from the rule of the wild elves, and the Elf Kingdom was newly reorganized. Spirits were nobles and Elves, themoners. The elf executives and royalty who had suppressed the spirits were demoted to ves, living or dead.
You take care of the specifics.
An ideal form of the government waspleted in whichmoners (elves) rule the country and nobles (spirits) just y quietly. Could this be true democracy?
Drug hero, apologize to democracy immediately.
What did I do?
Youre a natural sciences major, arent you?
So?
I knew it.
We were moving west of the Elf Kingdom. Lanuvel said that I should defeat the Five Great Disasters starting from the Eastern Continent. Still, I decided that it would be inefficient to go back to the other side of the Elf Kingdom located west of the Central Continent.
So I rescheduled it to the Western Continent.
? The disaster of the Western Continent: Subjugation of the Wraith King Shakespeare (0/1)
He was a friend with a unique hobby, defiling the body and soul. We hadnt met since the 1st ythrough, so it was like we were reuniting after almost 50 years. I also wondered how strong he had be.
A huge mountain range was blocking me from the front. Lets call it the Elf Mountains! The Central Continent and the Western Continent were cut off by the Elf Kingdom and the Elf Mountains.
Elf Mountains? Thats not the name I know
I made it that way.
I get it. A drug hero is a drug hero, after all.
What is this spirit saying?
The moment I was just about to cross the Elf Mountains.
? Peek: Cadet Kang Han-soo, are you busy right now? I did my best to find out, and I thought you should know. Its a real big deal!
My secret friend came back with some information.
Chapter 174 - [11th Round] Gob! Gob! ?
Chapter 174 - [11th Round] Gob! Gob! ?
Miss Trainee Teacher, dont get carried away and talk to me.
? Exnation: There are a total of five hundred and five cadets who have already been summoned or are scheduled to be summoned here. As a temporary measure, they distributed a hundred and one people to each continent as their starting points. This situation is because Cadet Kang -soos entrance exams difficulty level has been set too high.
Heres a summary of Miss Trainee Teachers exnation:
Lets say the Fantasy Continent is a slice of pizza the size of a gxy. Pizza can be divided into a hundred pieces or even five hundred ording to the number of people. But the total amount of toppings you can put on pizza is limited. This is where the problem begins.
The pizza slices are all fairly equal in size, but the toppings, which are the core of the pizza, were all concentrated on my slices. How easy would it be to upgrade an S-ss native to a Z-ss? So the other slices are only lumps of flour. Thats why as many as five hundred and five heroes were approaching my pizza slice.
These shameless and greedy punks!
? Correction: Technically, the other cadets didnte here because they wanted to. They are summoned here because pizza without toppings isnt pizza at all. To put it more simply, this entrance exam center is made of materials that can make about 500,000 elementary education centers. Those people summoned here are cadets without a ssroom.
I understood Miss Trainee Teachers long exnation very well. But here, of all ces?
? Defense: At least three people have already been admitted to other elementary education centers. Even then, the rest of the people were put here. We cant just put elementary education curriculum cadets in the secondary education curriculum with apletely different curriculum, right? The system made its reasonable judgment.
Reasonable, you say? Is it reasonable to put elementary school students into a ce full of ZZZ-ss viins, which are difficult for even teachers to fight?
? At a Loss: It seems that the system also recognizes it and tries to push it with numbers. ording to a senior who is kind to me, more cadets will be summoned to this entrance exam center in the future. I heard that the Elementary School Curriculum Festival was also reorganized so that the 10th ce and above would be summoned here?
I gently pressed my temples. My n to have Factoria, which I had insured, reside on Earth, had been disrupted. But I soon calmed down.
What does it have to do with me, no matter how many heroes are summoned to thisnd? All I need to do is defeat all of the Five Great Disasters. It didnt make any difference - hmm?
A group of goblins, huh.
Goblin. They were monsters that collected only the failures of the elves and dwarves. They were insignificant and had small figures. Because of this sense of inferiority, they didnt hesitate tomit vicious acts against the human race. Rape, torture, mischief, insulting, looting
So there was a saying like this in the Fantasy Continent.
- If you think you will be captured by goblins, just kill yourself.-
They werent empty words. If you spend one day with a goblin, even a normal person will be a psychopath. It was a good thing if you just lost your mind. The goblins stic surgery turned even a handsome prince into a monster in ten minutes.
Just like that guy. As I was crossing the Elf Mountains, I just ignored it and tried to pass it by. I am a very busy MAX-ss hero, after all. Every time I dy the subjugation even a day, the natives of the Fantasy Continent suffer.
I couldnt let my ankles be caught by just one or two people. But this time was an exception. It was because of the abilities of the man who was undergoing stic surgery by goblins.

He was a hero with a fairly bnced level and skill. It was hard to reach Level 896 on the second day of the heros life. Like me, he either had a ck Box or was a returnee student. Therefore he must have already been out of the region.
Hmm. He seems to be a hero trying to move from the unfamiliar Western Continent to the familiar Central Continent
It wasnt that he was weak to be trampled on by goblins. Its just that it was weird here.

The monsters in the Elf Mountains that divide the Central Continent and the Western Continent were notorious for being strong, but goblins werent normally as strong as ogres. However, there were forty such super-strong ogre-like goblins! Judging by the number of dead around, it originally seemed to be a group of about fifty or so.
Gob! Gob!
Goooob!
Gob~ Goob~!
They were eager to avenge their deadrades. The hero was covered in goblin filth. His scalp was torn, and his nose and lips were cut off. A few fingers and the mans treasure were also missing.
Aah, haah~ fo, forgive~ aargh~!
The hero who had lost his reason to live pleaded. However, the goblins didnt care and went into imnt surgery. They pulled out the healthy teeth one by one and shoveled sharp stones in their ce. If he were a normal person, he would have died already. However, there were cases in which people resurrected in the Fantasy World even when their heart stopped and their head was cut off. However, at this rate, he would never die.
Even the goblins knew that. They knew how to torment humans thin and long, like an expert who studied it all his life.
Goooob-!
Hugh! Eeeugh!
Upon closer inspection, there were not one but two heroes captured by the goblins. Surrounded by many goblins, I didnt notice it right away. Goblins were also a monster race made up of males. The female heros side was much more popr than the males. And because of the high demand, the order of abuse was determined by rank.
The guy who grabbed at the female heros chest was one head bigger than the other goblins. Still, it didnt change that he was smaller than humans.
? Race: Big Goblin
? Level: 1206
? Job: Bandit (Terrain Surprise)
? Skills: Muscle Strength SS Ambush S Latent S Leadership A Resistance A
? Status: Pleasure
His abilities would have made me believe he would be introduced as the herospanion if not for his race. He pushed fiercely with a force that would tear the soft flesh of the human hero who was only half his level.
? Shocked: I cant bear to see it
Miss Trainee Teacher. Is this the first time you have ever seen anything like this?
? Affirmation: Yes, its my first time. But dont treat me like an innocent child! Ive witnessed so many of Goblins misdeeds in my school days. But for such a young and beautiful hero like this to be attacked by those goblins
Inded in the middle of the goblin pack. They also spotted me right away.
sh!
About ten goblins couldnt even scream and turned into lumps of charcoal when a bolt of lightning fell from the dry sky. The goblins who were surprised by this fell to the ground. Unfortunately, three more were killed when sharp stones cut into their heads. One goblin, who was applying poison to an arrow, bumped into arade behind him and dropped the quiver. He died of poison from the arrowheads, and the goblins who were standing nearby stepped on the arrows scattered on the ground and fell to the poison shortly after.
And again
A fortune correction that even makes me speechless.
I didnt even lift a finger, yet the goblin pack took a blow that was close to destruction. The most outrageous was the Big Goblin. Raging like a lotive full of coal, that guy grabbed at his heart and fell over the female hero as if trampling her. He remained motionless.
There were only a few goblins left, but their fate wasnt much different.
Gob! Gob~?!
One such goblin, charging me with dagger forward, stumbled on a stone outcropping. Then he identally stabbed hisrade, who was running next to him, in the neck.
Gob-!
He took revenge on the other goblin and died. Now two remained. They were archers, one in front of me and one behind. At about the same time, two arrows shot from either side passed by my body.
And then
Poof! Poof!
They stuck right in the two goblins heads. It was such an excellent shot that I wondered whether they aimed at theirrade from the beginning. With this, the goblin pack was annihted.
All I did was make an appearance.
I wont die even if the gxy is destroyed, huh
The Goblins were swept away like dust by the favoritism of the universe.
But this isnt perfect. It does not apply to targets that arent hostile to you. And it doesnt work against an absolute formidable enemy that cannot be defeated by chance alone. Unless you give your life.
The First Spirit seemed to enjoy all of this. Was she enjoying her freedom?
I think I have to recover them first for the conversation to proceed. Saint.
Yes, Master.
Saint H appeared. She immediately caught the two humans amid the dead goblin pack and started treatment.
Hsst!
The light from Saint Hs hand surrounded the two heroes. The physical injuries recovered in no time. Both paid a huge amount of experience points in return, but it was better than living like a monster, wasnt it? However, the Saints healing wasnt perfect either.
He, hehe, heheheh
The handsome hero, as handsome as a prince on a white horse, began tough out loud as he sucked his thumb. He didnt seem to be acting.
He is hopeless.
There was some case in which the mental aftereffects of dealing with the goblins often lead toplete mental deterioration. This hero who had undergone stic surgery was one of them. I gave up neatly and turned my gaze to the other hero.
Thank you so much for saving mereally, reallysob, sob!
The female hero started to cry while holding herself. Unlike the tattered male hero, she suffered no major physical trauma other than some torn ligaments as her limbs were bent in odd directions. Thanks to that, it was easy to heal! There was a mental shock, but apetent psychiatrist and time could potentially solve them.
I have a question for you.
Id like to answer anything to my benefactor, but can we move first? Im so sorry
Moving ce, huh
I have decades of fantasy experience. Although I didnt have a license, I knew quite a bit about treating people who had just been rescued from monsters. I easily understood what this woman wanted. She wanted to talk in a ce where she was sure it was safe. I gave her an inch, but she wanted to take a mile, so she asked for understanding while crying and apologizing first.
I wasnt a brave hero who could be rude to such a person from the same hometown as me. Shouldnt we help others from the same ce as us?
Its cumbersome to go back to the Elf Kingdom
I touched the spirit stuck above my head and called her out.
So rude, drug hero! You stab me with your fingers because your drug isnt enough to control the spirits bodies and minds, right! Someday you will be punishedah?! Are you a bold hero who misses even their nemesis?! Im so sorry for you!
So noisy. Build a nice fortress here.
Fortress? For this woman?
Its troublesome to go back.
This was the Elf Mountains. It would take a while to get to the nearest elf vige. Rather, building a safe fortress here saved time and was much easier.
People usually think the other way around, butI see. Hey guys!
The First Spirit gave instructions to the spirits. She was going to make the subordinates do all the disturbing things while shey down on my head and sniffed me like a pervert, though even the crowned spirits who were instructed didnt move.
While clinging to my armpits and groin, they only shook their heads and made the surrounding spirits work. The spirits were pure? This was a terrible ss society.
Kwoogoogoogooo-
A beautiful fortress made of y-baked pottery was built in the middle of the steep natural mountain range. Immediately after that, I summoned Green Cake.
Greee?
He seemed to have grown bigger. What did he eat to grow so well?
Green Cake. What should I do if youre so slow-witted?
However, his mental state was still childish.
G, Greee
I wont say it twice, so listen. Move these two to that fortress. You cant be a great evil dragon if you dont make kidnapping a way of life. Remember that.
Gree!
You answer well even when zoning out.
The male hero, who showed no recovery, was put in a corner, and I kindly handed the female hero three leaves to cover her shameful naked body.
At least my old equipment
Thats my bounty. I have to make a living too.
Wasnt she too tant even though were from the same hometown?
Sorry, Im sorry
Chapter 175 - [11th Round] To the Western Continent
Chapter 175 - [11th Round] To the Western Continent
Each continent had its characteristics. If the Central Continent located in the center was the most universal and simple, the Northern Continent had many monsters and magic focused on the snowy mountains. The Southern Continent had hot deserts, volcanic eruptions, and survival games all year round, and the Eastern Continent, where fishy freshwater mermaids lived, was hit by endless floods and tsunamis.
And what about the Western Continent?
Its the worst here.
It wasnt as bad as the female hero put it. An insect called Lucifer lived in the Western Continent, which looked like a fly and was slightlyrger than a human palm.
? Question: Slightly?
Its indeed slightly, Miss Trainee Teacher.
In the Western Continent, which failed to eradicate pests, Lucifer propagated outrageously. Although they look like disgusting pests, they are much more picky and elegant than a princess who lies about eating only dew.
After all, they only eat sunlight. Thats why the Western Continent was always dark and cold. Lucifer may advance to another continent and turn the whole world into darkness, but the North Continent was too cold and the South Continent too hot. And the Central Continent was kept safe by the monsters living in Elf Mountains. After all, these guys didnt like living without light either.
The Western Continent, which had evolved into a unique ecosystem because only shady nts can survive there, was a tourist destination where you could feel the romance and elegance of the Fantasy World. But to say that its the worst
It would be great if the hatred toward Lucifer would stop. Wasnt it a much nicer bug than a mosquito that bothered you when you sleep?
I worked as a security guard at the Victoria Factory, where only first-ss heroes with no criminal record can get a job. Then I died in an alien raid and was reincarnated.
Then?
Thanks to the strategy book that I read to my hearts content, I was able to proceed with the adventure easily. Ive been steadily gathering allies and the Holy Sword. However, because of the Demon King who cowardly pushed his numbers, Ive been going back for five years already. But this time, I started on the Western Continent instead of the Central Continent.
I see!
She was talking too much! If she werent ady from my beautiful hometown, I would have already grabbed her between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae.
There was ack of information about the West Continent.
Well, I guess so.
ording to the exnation of hero Luke, the strategy book wasnt helpful except for the Central Continent, the starting point of the hero, and the Northern Continent, where the Holy Sword slept. Although the Eastern Continents strategy book was worth reading for free, the Western and Southern Continents were blocked by the Elf Kingdom and the Demon Kings territories, so only very few heroes attacked them.
And there seemed to be no need to move on. Under the assumption that there was no gender discrimination, even if you go around the Central and Northern Continents, you could easily have more than tenrades. In terms of time, its, anyhow, only three years of a heros capability. When its eventually the time to challenge the Demon King, there will be few heroes who have suffered in vain for ten years while traveling all Five Continents like me.
? Sob: Its a story that cant be heard without tears.
Im fine now! Miss Trainee Teacher!
My memories of the 1st ythrough were boiled in a steamer called time.
There are those ugly bugs everywhere, and dead bodies are farming in the fields. The dark, cold environment has twisted the hearts of the natives negativelyeven the Lord who smiled while introducing those corpses as his family didnt seem normal.
Ah, I think I know who he is. Hes such a timid friend.
The foolish image of a handsome man who couldnt let go of his dead parents and wife was projected into my head. I wanted to recruit him as apanion. Still, it was canceled due to the opposition of my greedy colleagues in the 1st ythrough, even though they were the ipetent ones. Then?
The mad Lord is timidanyway, I was summoned from the Lords castle. And the same goes with my wrecked boyfriend over there
So he was your boyfriend, huh?
Yeah. They were a very well-matched couple.
It hasnt even been a day since we started dating. He suggested it first, but I epted it because he knew how to get to the Central Continent that I was familiar with. He was very reliable as he persuaded the Lord, who wouldnt let me out of the castle, and got some money, but
Uuuaaaaaah! Mom, I miss you. Mom!
He became like that.
The female hero nced at her boyfriend and sighed.
What about the other heroes?
I think there were about fifty people. We vomited together when we saw the dishes made with those giant flies. Some people didnt mind eating, butthey said theyll raise their level by catching the flies all over thend from tomorrow on. The dead bodies followed one by one as an escort and watchman.
I have a rough idea.
Lucifer was a staple food in the Western Continent. Hunting was suicide because there were many powerful monsters, and in and where it was difficult to raise livestock due to ack of feed, you had no choice but to eat these flies. I also had a weak stomach, so I couldnt eat it raw, but I could eat it fried or grilled.
And each life was precious in that extreme survival environment. Because of this, all corpses were recycled. Women with rtively weakbat power were in charge of chores and farming, while men were in charge of security. The corpses that neither age nor wear out serve the living day and night. In other words, the residents live under the protection of their ancestors.
Anything else special?
Its my first time in the Western Continent, so I dont know. Except that the monsters have be very strong
Are you still trying to cross over to the Central Continent?
The Central Continent wont be like this.
Its the same.
But I dont need to eat flies.
Thats right.
But wouldnt it be better to eat flies under the Lords protection than to crossbreed with Goblins? I think so.
A-am I going to give birth to a goblin?! Me?!
Thats what Im saying. Of course, its only with a low probability. Either a big goblin or a half-goblin.
Hck?!
Hearing my exnation, the female hero went into a frenzy. I knocked her out, smashing her neck with the back of my hand as she was trying to hurt herself.
What a high-maintenance hometown friend.
If she were pregnant, she would have Pregnant in her abilities status. I didnt expect she would make such an elementary error like this.
? Justification: I understand this youngdys feelings. I would be out of my mind if I had an unwanted child.
Huh? Miss Trainee Teacher. Have you ever had a baby?
? Abrupt: Im just saying!
Moreover, Miss Trainee Teacher. Will these heroes get better when they regress? The woman is a lot better, but I think a normal life would be too much for them.
? Depression: Its going to be difficult. Even if they regress, the memories remain the same. You may think that erasing memories is okay, but memories are closely rted to the soul. Its different from normal memory loss. Its temporary oblivion thates from bodily damage. Deleting memories also takes a serious blow to the soul. No matter how bad the memory is.
I see. I bent the necks of the two heroes beautifully.
? Confused: Cadet Kang Han-soo. You heard what I said, right?
Miss Trainee Teacher. I heard you. You told me regression wouldnt cure mental illness, right?
When you regress to a safe ce, do not wander outside and be quietly protected. Mon.
I wished this couple a safe return in the name of the great Master Mon.
Just be honest, drug hero. You killed them because it was troublesome to take care of them, did you?
The First Spirit tapped my head and asked.
It seems your way of talking has changed a lot from the first time, too.
When I first met the First Spirit, I thought she was a noble goddess.
I practiced hard, dreaming of a great hero who would save this poor spirit someday. Even if the hero didnt ruin my noble image with his fingers while checking to see if I was affected or not, Im stillanyway; its strange how you talk impolitely from the beginning!
Its a sign of friendliness.
I like your drugs too. Heehee!
The MAX-ss heros party, who saved a humble couple from the goblins, crossed the Elf Mountains while enjoying some small chat!
*
As soon as I set my foot on the Western Continent, the world went dark. Although the sun was in the sky, it was shining brightly alone like a full moon. The main culprit was
Lulullu~~
Luuluu~~
Lululu~~
Lucifer, the native creature that could be found anywhere in the Western Continent. Although it had the property to suck in the light around it, how many would it take to cover the sky of the continent? The hideout of the Five Great Disasters Shakespeare was the westernmost tip of the Western Continent. And since I had just crossed over to the Western Continent, I was at the eastern end.
I had no choice but to cross the Western Continent to defeat him.
Drug hero, are you going right away?
No. Im going to learn a new skill today.
I thought I told you that you, favored by nature, dont need your abilities.
Its just your subjective judgment.
There were a lot of monsters with ZZZ-ss skills around, but I didnt have any. And there was a skill that I wanted to see the end of.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Gifted
? Grade: ZZ (35%)
? ZZZ:???
? ZZ: Reconstruct from the source.
? Z: Breaking the limit bes slightly easier.
? SSS: Dexterity increases significantly.
? SS: Sess rate increases significantly.
? S: Proficiency increases significantly.
? A: Experience increases significantly.
? B: Dexterity increases slightly.
? C: Sess rate increases slightly.
? D: Proficiency increases slightly.
?E: Experience increases slightly
?F: Appears extraordinary from the first impression.
It was a skill that dramatically changed me, who had beenpletely dependent on Divinity, Dark energy, and the ck Box. So why not run it to the end? Fortunately, the environment was optimized. The entrance exam center, where everything was upgraded, was perfect for raising the level, but it also made it very easy to improve skill proficiency.
Production and assistance skills. I nned to meet an outstanding expert and raise it quickly. If I can afford it, even the Fabrication Skill too.
Humans seem to be very busy, while Elves put off their work today until next year.
Why did you take the mermaid out?
They were stupid fish that didnt care about anything but mating.
Drug hero, its good not to underestimate the mermaid. They are a diligent race that pulls tomorrows mating to today.
I didnt know that!
So, which skill are you going to learn first?
Command.
I cant believe youre going to learn the art of fooling around with the spirits soulis it possible because youre a human who enjoys torturing your people?
Youin a lot, huh?
Huh! Drug hero, you must understand. For all these years, my only conversational partner was the evil female elf. Just think of it as helping a neighbor in need.
It was no coincidence that the hero couple could safely reach the Elf Mountains in just one day. As such, the castle of the Lord and the Elf Mountains were close. This was also due to the characteristics of the Western Continent. The center, where many Lucifers lived, had less sunlight than a second every year. So it was very cold, like a freezer.
On the other hand, the outskirts of the Western Continent were rtively easy to live in due to the warm sea and the high temperature of other continents. So all human settlements were attached to the coast and the mountains. The starting point of the heroes.
Lets go see him right away.
There was no country on the Western Continent. Magicians who specialize in dealing with corpses take on their respective territories and people, acting as lords. That authority was absolute. Therefore, thend became like hell or paradise ording to the tendency of the ruler. The ce I was visiting now was close to paradise.
The corpses stared at me while passing by. I didnt ignore it and waved lightly.
Drug hero, why are you giving them greetings?
The corpses here deserve respect. They work unpaid for their descendants until their cartge wears out and they cant move.
I wasnt blocked even when I entered the Lords castle. After all, there was no ce in the Western Continent to run away even if you were tomit a crime, and the punishment was so heavy that they wouldntmit a crime unless they were crazy.
Therefore, they must be crazy.
Aaaargh~?!
Kyaaaaaaargh~?!
Naked men and women, hanging on wood nks set in an X shape, were screaming nonstop. The floor was full of their filth. I ced my hand on the cervical spine of Viger A, who was throwing stones among the people who watched the scene.
Excuse me. I am Hero A, who is passing by. Let me ask you a question.
Khueek?!
Why are these heroes being tortured?
F-first, please put me down?!
Viger A, who was released, answered while rubbing his neck.
It seems they were trying to kill the Lord. I thought it was suspicious from the start! Seventy chosen legendary heroes? In what reality is there a hero who is weaker than the vigers?
Chapter 176 - [11th Round] Hero Discrimination!
Chapter 176 - [11th Round] Hero Discrimination!
? Hasty: Cadet Kang Han-soo! What should we do? At this rate, everyone might be mentally ill and be less than dust!
Miss Trainee Teacher, dont worry too much. Ill make them all regress before that.
It was amon theme for fantasy novels: a story about a social misfit who has ruined his life and pretends to be an intelligent human being. I will grant them protection.
? Dissuasion: I dont think thats a fundamental solution. I heard that it was fate toe even though they didnt ask to. Theyll probably repeat the same mistakes. So why dont we stop that terrible torture and find out what caused it?
Miss Trainee Teachers suggestion is absolutely correct, but I wonder why I have to go that far.
Indeed, I care more for the friends from the same beautiful hometown than the savage natives, but I dont have the capacity to defend sinners. They tried to kill the Lord. In the barren Western Continent, thebor force provided by the corpses was absolute, and the one who moved them was the Lord, the magician.
The heroes were threatening the survival of the vigers! I had no room for debate, even if they were tortured.
?Persuasion: Cadet Kang Han-soo is taking the entrance exam. It doesnt end with just achieving your goals. sses are determined ording to the test results, and the higher the ss, the easier it is to graduate.
Miss Trainee Teacher! You should have told me about that sooner!
I left the square, where the heroes torture was in full swing, and headed to the Lords house. After all, there were procedures to everything. Making a fuss with force to carry out ones will was no different than being an ignorant idiot. I couldnt do such a thing as a righteous hero.
It wasnt for my reputation.
The Lords home wasnt very fancy. The Lords of the Western Continent could use their undeadbor to build pyramids or pces if they wished, but the Lord here was very frugal.
Tick tack! Tick tack!
The corpses were repairing the fences and walls destroyed in the heroes raid. I headed inside, watching the gruesome restoration.
This is the entrance feeOh! Anyway, Holy One! Wee!
It was a world overflowing with transcendental skills, but the effect of Divinity Z was weakly effective. Maybe the energy of the universe worked this way, too?
I answered the butler of the manor with a smile.
I am Hero A who was passing by. Id like to see the Lord.
Hero!
Cant I?
I ced my hand between his 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae and asked again. It was very unpleasant to be treated the same as the heroes who were tortured outside. So, I wanted to shake his neck for offending me, but I was afraid that the biased judgment of the Fantasy God would wreak havoc on my report card again, so I put up with it.
I couldnt give her an excuse, right?
Hck?! Oh, no! This way, please!
Thank you.
The Lord, who had been attacked by seventy ipetent and despicable heroes, was chatting with his wife in his office as if nothing had happened.
I think the sky is dark again today.
The Lords wife, who boasted a perfect beauty without any blemishes, was quietly listening to her husbands story while sitting in her chair. The sight was so heartwarming that I felt sorry to interrupt. I bowed down in a dignified aristocratic manner to greet him.
I am very sorry for taking away the good time you spend with your family, my Lord. I am a hero from the Central Continent. As I was passing through this beautiful estate, I saw the sight of justice in the square and came here.
Are you going to argue about it?
The handsome Lord, who was no less attractive than his beautiful wife, looked at me with questioning eyes. I expressed my disapproval here.
They are socially mdjusted people who havent been able to adapt even in their hometowns. Imend the Lord for your patience andpassion, who summoned over seventy of these helpless losers and took care of them for two days.
Hmm-hmm! Well, thats nothing
The corners of the lips of the Lord, whom I praised, drew a soft arc. It was an enthusiastic response to ordinary conversation because of his wife, who always listened and didnt talk. This Lords timidity hadnt changed from the 1st ythrough.
No matter how strong he had be.
? Race: Death Human
? Level: 2183
? Job: Magician (Blessing = Command)
? Skills: Command ZZ Force ZZ Rule ZZ Eternal Youth Z Blessing Z
? Status: Satisfied, Embarrassed
He was stered with Transcendental Realm Skills. Command and Force, which were essential skills for magicians who deal with corpses, were the highest, and that skill level was even higher than the Five Great Disasters in the 1st ythrough. If the Lord were like this, then how about the Five Great Disasters?
It wasnt easy to predict, even for me with my decades of experience.
My Lord. Is the oracle stilling down?
Yeah. Ites down so often that there isnt enough time to talk calmly with my wife. Thats why I cant even sleep properly. The future is already bleak when I think about summoning an additional thirty peopleter.
The words to ignore the oracle came up only to my lips. After all, it was absolute for the natives here. It wasnt that there were no atheists at all, but even they followed the oracle unconditionally. This was because ignoring would result in terrible retaliation.
What is the purpose of the summons?
It is said that they are the heroes who will defeat the Five Great Disasters. My role ends with the summons. However, even if it was an oracle, I thought of providing food, clothing, and shelter until they had some force since they were guests invited to my estate. However
The Lord couldnt continue and smiled bitterly instead. It was because he was attacked by those heroes two days after summoning. For the Lord who gave them a favor, he was in a situation where he would be angry beyond absurdity. I had a strong feeling that it wouldnt be easy to rescue those heroes through formal procedures.
The Lord was the victim, and the heroes were the perpetrators. Their crimes were clear.
My Lord. What are you going to do with them?
It wasnt an easy problem to solve. How many people in the world would easily forgive those who sought their life? The Lord turned to his wife as he answered.
Honestly, I dont know. So I asked my wife for help. Shes a very wise woman.
For now, I gave an order to torture them until my wife gives me an answer. The Western Continent does not have enough food to feed sinners for free. Sinners eat Lucifer, and we collect their excrement and use it as manure.
The only food overflowing in the Western Continent was Lucifer. However, the taste wasnt very good, and humans couldnt live on protein alone, so that they couldnt eat it indefinitely. But there were exceptions everywhere.
That was the sinners. It was torture in which Lucifer was constantly fed to sinners who couldnt move as their limbs were tied. It was mixed with a small amount of vitamin and mineral-rich moss, which was a poisonous herb that ordinary residents could never eat because it made them suffer from diarrhea.
Then, the filth excreted by the sinners was collected by the dead and used as manure for the fields. This process was constantly repeated. It seemed that the sinners would die soon, but it was the other way around in reality.
Was it the vitamins that were good for the body? These poison nts that induced diarrhea prolonged life, so they couldnt die at will.
Even my wise wife cant answer easily this time.
If you dont give me an answer quickly, their sphincters will lose their function forever within the next two days. No, maybe thats what you want, my wife? Aah, my dear wife! This husband is fine with it. Why dont you forgive the heroes?
Haha! I guess you still cant give me an answer. Then there is nothing I can do. I will wait quietly until you can forgive those who seek my life.
The couples passionate love was very touching. I also recognized from the previous conversation that I had no choice but to persuade the Lords wife to release the heroes. However, this was difficult even for a MAX-ss Hero.
The Lords wife was a corpse, after all.
*
The natives of the Western Continent of Fantasy ate six meals a day. Dawn, breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and ate-night snack. In other words, they eat every four hours. This was because vigers had very little to do as the corpses handledrge-scale tasks such as security and farming.
So, there were only six cksmiths in this small estate alone. Simrly, there would be six clothing stores, carpentry shops, and inns operated separately. And these stores changed in shifts, so they only worked four hours a day. The rest of the time was dedicated to resting and eating.
The Lord invited me to the Fourth Bell dinner. The concept of a day was very unclear because the Western Continent was always dark, with no distinction between night or day. Therefore, the clock tower in the middle of the estate rung the bell about every four hours. If it rang six times, a day had passed.
I could say that I was invited to a snack meal.
I was really surprised. I didnt know that the hero from the Central Continent had this much knowledge of the Western Continentits as if youve lived here for a few years.
Its nothing. This is natural if youre a true hero.
Indeed!
Every meal wasnt the same. Steamed Lucifer, Roasted Lucifer, Fried Lucifer, Lucifer
Although there was a slight difference in each estate, it was set byw to cook a different dish for each meal to get tired of that Lucifer, which was the main ingredient. If you break things because its annoying, youre going to get kicked out, regardless of age or gender.
You may think that theyre sensitive to insignificant things. Still, if you remember that the number one cause of depression and suicide among natives in the Western Continent is loss of appetite, you can see that it is a very serious matter.
So its fried Lucifer. You applied precious honey to it and erased the unique smell of Lucifer with a rare herb that grows only in the central part of the continent. You dont have to be so considerate of me like this
I had only eaten Lucifer for over a year before, so I was used to it. At that time, the chef was Lanuvel, and to my dismay, her cooking skills were impable.
Haha! It was your first day, so I paid special attention. Most of the other heroes couldnt eat it. My wife didnt say it out of courtesy, but she was very upset about it.
Now, it seems that she is happy that you eat it well, hero.
As we talked, I had a rough picture of the situation in my head. Eating giant flies and a dead body of a loving wife. There was no way the social misfits (heroes) could understand this unique culture and environment, not to mention theck of experience and information on the Western Continent. They would have cowardly attacked the Lord and used him of being a demon. The result was torture after a devastating defeat thanks to the overwhelming power difference.
I felt troubled while eating fried Lucifer. There wasnt much time left to save the heroes. As the Lord boasted, their sphincter would be irreparably damaged within two days. This was an extremely serious matter. Once dead, it couldnt be cured even by the resurrection of the saint.
It was the same as not being able to straighten the wrinkles of an old man or give sticity to sagging breasts.
? Question: Its a serious situation, right?
Its a very serious situation, Miss Trainee Teacher! They have to live with a cork in their ass until they die. Its a bonus to be traumatized by just hearing Lucifers cry.
?Goosebumps: I didnt expect that the Western Continent was such a scary ce.
Hmm? Havent you eaten Lucifer, Miss Trainee Teacher?
? Memories: No. I knew the natives would eat these flies, but my colleagues and I ate a normal meal with the Lords consideration. Ah! I remember he exined to me that it was a fish caught in the river. Thats why I dont understand why he only feeds those flies to Cadet Kang Han-soo or the other cadets. Its the same Lord
I suddenly lost my appetite. I put down my knife and fork and nced at the Lord.
My Lord. In front of this manor, a river formed by the gathering of streams of water from the mountain range flows, and I believe that not a few fish live there. But why do you only give me Lucifer dishes?
Oh! Have you figured that out? Thats right. Freshwater fish are also a specialty of this estate. However, powerful monsters roam the river. Thats why we only serve fish when important guestse.
The Lord spoke as if it were a matter of insignificance. Feeling my eyebrows twitching, I asked politely.
Are you saying Im not an important guest?
To be honest, in skills, both you and yourpanion stuck on your head arent that reliable.
If you want to be treated better than now, gather a lot of excellentpanions and build more skills.
I realized an important fact as I smashed the Lords jaw.
Why have I overlooked it so far? This timid Lords position is the same as that of the Dumpling King.
Lets engrave on this Lords spine that this MAX-ss Hero doesnt needpanions!
Chapter 177 - [11th Round] Fishing
Chapter 177 - [11th Round] Fishing
My current abilities werent great. There was also advice from the First Spirit, so I didnt hunt monsters. I had a few Transcendental Realm skills, but they were still worse than this mere Lord. I was weak except for my race.
And the natives couldnt see my race.
Well done! Drug hero! Howe he treats me, the most popr and beautiful First Spirit in the universe, like a fly? And for yourpanions, my children and I are more than enough!
The First Spirit praised me, waving her legs back and forth over my head.
You are not mypanions but freeloaders.
Building owners and residents are in a symbiotic rtionship. A building owner with many empty buildings is doomed to copse. Remember that.
Almost everyone in the world is living in an empty building, though?
And I, who lived while being molested by these spirits, was unusual.
You are not a human being; you are a spirit. Anyway, youre a spirit, and spirits cant live alone. This is what the worlds wisest First Spirit says, so dont ever doubt it. It is the established theory of the natural world!
In the 1st ythrough, the number ofrades in my party didnt increase indefinitely. Would those who have never had an adventure in their life adapt well, even though newrades entered freely without my consent? They were eliminated in the middle of adventure after bing nuisances. Fortunately, those who could adapt instead died in dungeon exploration orbat.
In that sense, the Sword King Alex was amazing. After all, he didnt die and followed me to the Demon Kings castle even though the leech Lanuvel walked away after being buried in a copsed dungeon.
My Lord. Are you still going to makements about myrade over and over?
Uh
If you do not want to see your beautiful wifes waist bent, youd be better to listen to this hero.
Whether the husband was right or not, I put my hand on the head of thedy as I spoke.
T-tell me! Then please spare my wife!
The Lord, whose chin was swollen, raised the white g without hesitation. He was more worried about his wife than his pain. I went for a fair deal to respect his wishes.
First, release the heroes. No matter what, theyre still people. My hands might slip because I get choked up by the bad food. You must not do this to a valuable guest wholl save the world. Am I wrong?
Hero, you are right! My wife, please!
The Dumpling King of the Central Continent was left stranded by the Queen, but this Lord also cared about his wife dearly. I continued with the smile of a righteous hero.
My Lord, I will trust your upright love. If you disappoint me, Ill throw the First Lady to the Goblins.
T-that!
Do you understand?
Yes! I will never let that happen!
We finished talking in that friendly atmosphere.

ss F heroes who almost lost their precious sphincters forever were freed from torture by the great MAX-level hero! But with as much as a slightly stretched sphincter, they lost their spirit and needed some time until they restored their bodies and minds. Then, more than thirty people were summoned and joined us.
There were a hundred and one people in total.
Hehe, Hehehe
You!
Originally, two people escaped, but the couple I met in the Elf Mountains rejoined us. It was a very special situation.
You dont regress but are resurrected.
It was simr to an RPG where a character died and restarted after receiving some penalties. In other words, they couldnt escape from here even if they died. Then you may think its okay to die indefinitely, but the couples level and skills had dropped quite a bit.
? Hope: Cadet Kang Han-soo. Youre going to help with this, right?
Thats what Im going to do, Miss Trainee Teacher. After all, Im an intrusive and righteous MAX-ss hero. It isnt because of the report card at all.
First, I had to somehow grow the heroes who were weaker than the residents. The resurrected student couple had abilities simr to Goblins, but the other newbies were still Level 1. They were going to be swept away like dust at this rate. Fortunately, among these misfortunes, heroes had the perks of Experience Point 500%. It wasnt a dream to be strong quickly if they used it well.
This was thend of opportunity. On the ordinary Fantasy Continent, there were fewer monsters over Level 500. This was because the level was high only when the monster groups boss was around. So at some point, their level stagnated. It was the same with my 1st ythrough, and it continued to be like that afterward.
But what about now?
Youre weaker than the currently passing Viger A. The sin of attacking a good Lord that loves his wife was covered with our good conversation. This estate is safe, so dont worry and work on your growth.
The presence of Level 500 or stronger monsters was quitemon in this entrance exam center. Someday they would be stagnant, but the continent would sink in the aftermath of battle before then.
Why? The ability of living beings in this dimension had increased dramatically. On the other hand, what about the continent? This fragilend didnt receive such a benefit at all. If the stamina of the Western Continent was at 500HP, it was okay if violent heroes and monsters destroyed nature in battle and reduced a total of 5HP.
However, this entrance exam center is different. The stamina of the Western Continent remained the same at 500HP, but if enhanced heroes and monsters fight, about 200HP would be cut instantly. Its like the goalpost would be destroyed when a basketball yer dunked, making the situation difficult to y in!
Wait! Who the hell are you to tell us what to - Kuugh?
Other questions?
The hundred summoned heroes went silent. Although, unfortunately, one person dropped out due to an ident, we would meet again tomorrow.
I wasnt disappointed. The heroes werergely divided into four categories: returnees and newbies, with their sphincters intact, and the ones that were a bit loose. Gender, age, nationality, and appearance were meaningless here. This was because Combat Power was all that was necessary to survive in the Western Continent.
They had to be able to manage themselves. I defined heroes who had regressed, experience, and had strong sphincter muscles as B-ss. Those who were still Level 1 but had a safe sphincter with a rosy and bright future were the C-ss. Those with a devastated body and mind, but were still a bit useful thanks to their abilities built up, were D-ss, and the rest were E-ss.
What were going to do from now on is get delicious food. As you may know, a river flows to the east of this estate, and there are many plump fishes in this river. It looks like some people also catch them. Thats right. What youre going to do today is take over the river.
Fish!
Fish, you say?!
Oh! Fish!
The once dead eyes of the heroes gained a new semnce of life. It certainly motivated them, who ate only Lucifer for two days.
I went on to exin.
From now on, well divide the mission. B-ss will organize the path from thend to the river. C-ss is in charge of fishing, D-ss will escort the fish cart, and E-ss will pull the cart and carry the fish. Do you have any questions?
Sliced raw fish
Grilled fish
Spicy fish stew
The heroes epted withoutint. The cart to carry the fishes was borrowed from the Lord, and armor was prepared cheaply using Lucifer pupae and bone.
Then we departed vigorously!
? Admiration: I was surprised. Cadet Kang Han-soo, who is normally reluctant to work with his colleagues, has the talent to lead the pack.
Miss Trainee Teacher, Id be disappointed if you meant that. Born from the womb of a princess who was in exile, I conquered half of the North Continent with my cute little hands at the age of one and became emperor.
Its not surprising for the MAX-ss hero, who received a good evaluation like The emperor is cute! to lead a hundred of these lowly fellows.
? Agreed: Come to think of it, yes. I was surprised, too, after seeing Kang Han-soo as the cutest hero chosen by the natives of Fantasy.
My cuteness is like a science, Miss Trainee Teacher. My mother said that I was so cute when I was young that she couldnt hit me with a tennis racket no matter how much I cried or threw a tantrum.
I-its Orcs!
Do not back off! We can do it!
There is a fish in front of us!
Wuaaaaa!
As soon as we left the safe zone of the estate, a crisis descended upon us. Although I shared the role of catches to match their abilities, it was necessary to make a way to the river together for now.
Their roles were up to change, too. I was willing to raise those who recovered quickly or gave a good first impression among the newbies to A-ss and give them special guidance. On the contrary, I thought of using those who fell to F-ss as manure manufacturing.
Anyway
Gugu!
Bubu!
VUVU!
Ten orcs appeared in front of them. Their purpose was to take the female humans to help heat their bodies in the cold Western Continent and the male humans for food, as they tasted better than Lucifer. The orcs abilities were higher than a goblins.
? Race: Orc
? Level: 956
? Job: Rogue (Weak Luck )
? Skill: Stamina SSS Endurance SS Resistance SS Wild Nature SS Muscle Strength SS
? Status: Excited, Madness
If this were the ordinary Fantasy Continent, these orcs would have knocked down the hero and taken away the beautiful females to create a harem. But this, too, was unusual because we had a hundred heroes here!
Attack!
Kuu!
There was no room for negotiations, and they collided head-on without either side backing down even a step. Their willpower was magnificent like they fought a great battle that risked the fate of mankind. The returnee students faced the orcs with their unique skills, which they had built up through numerous adventures. Sword, magic, martial arts, divinity
But the orcs were also formidable. If this were the ordinary Fantasy Continent, it would have been an easy battle. Yet now, they were masters of martial arts wearing pig masks.
Puuuu!
Kugh!
Aaaargh?!
Kaargh?!
The orcs made subtle hand gestures with expressions that seemed to have no interest in anything but mating. Every time they put their fists or feet down, heroes fell.
Still, God did not abandon the heroes.
Ah?! Dont look-!
Fufu!
The breasts and hips of the female heroes were exposed in all directions as their crude armor was destroyed. The orcs eyes were fixed on those steep valleys. Although their skills and abilities had improved, their mental state remained the same as ordinary orcs.
Pugh! Pugh! Pugh!
Orcs, who were deceived by beauty, copsed one by one.
I hope that in the future life, you will be born as a race with females as well. Mon.
While observing the situation from afar, I prayed for the peace of the orcs, who were eventually eradicated. Still, the heroes suffered considerable damage. The female heroes who were attacked gently for capture were disarmed, but the male heroes treated as mating rivals were killed or seriously injured.
Still, the overall Combat Power didnt decrease. This was because the ten heroes who killed ten orcs grew rapidly.
Hiplia.
And with the resurrection ability of Saint H, a hundred people were once again marching. Their armaments were also replenished with the spares loaded into the carts. After all, the adventures of the heroes must continue.
After a half-day struggle, we were able to reach the wide, blue river.
Fish~ m~?
Tuna~ Shrimp~?
Salmon~ Mackerel~?
Selfposed songs were heard from all over the party. Many fools couldnt tell the difference between freshwater and seawater, but I left them alone because it was too much to ask for sanity from people who died and have been revived multiple times.
Its a big fish!
One of the heroes fishing in the middle of the river with a fishing rod and borrowed from the Lord shouted. It wasnt an exaggeration or a joke. His fishing rod bent as it would break at any moment. A very big one must have bit it.
Ill help you!
Lets hold it together!
Fighting!
The heroes stopped what they were doing and flocked to it, helping pull the fishing rod together.
Ooh!
Oooh!
Finally, the ck back of the fish appeared on the surface. But somehow, the size didnt stop and kept growing as it breached the surface. It kept getting bigger and bigger
Shaaaash - Gulp
The fish jumped out of the water and swept away the clumped-up people. It swallowed up a hundred people in an instant.
Then it leisurely returned to the river.
I need to re-n the strategy.
Greee?
Gulping, gulping
Immediately after catching the fish and putting it on Green Cakes back, I felt the need to reinforce our strategy. I knew these hometown friends were weak, but they were too weak.
Chapter 178 - [11th Round] Of The People, By The…
Chapter 178 - [11th Round] Of The People, By The
The Western Continent was the easiest to level up in among the Five Continents. It was all thanks to the Lucifers.
? Race: Giant Bug
? Level: 89
? Job: Traveler (Travel Experience )
? Skills: Growth D Flight E Cooperation E Survival F Breeding F
? Status: Rxed
However, humans werent the only ones eating them. It was the staple food of almost all monsters and animals living in the Western Continent. Therefore, the longer you survived in the Western Continent, the stronger you would inevitably be. Because of this deformed environment, the Western Continent had the highest level of difficulty.
However, once you get used to it, there was no other ce as easy to level up as here. Imagine wiping out a swarm of Lucifers with a technique capable of mass destruction. It was a chunk of experience that wouldnt decrease no matter how much you kill, but it was gentle and had littlebat ability, so it wasnt a threat at all.
Therefore
Ladies and Gentlemen. Starting today, you will hunt for Lucifer. I wont discuss the means and methods. Ill feed you fish every time you rise ten levels. You may think that the low level is advantageous, but the higher the level, the more the amount of dishes increases. Do you have any questions?
A total of a hundred and one people, including those who died in an ident, were resurrected the next day and gathered in front of me. After listening to my exnation, a little bit of hope began to appear on their faces. They must think it was worth a try.
I thought so, too.
If you dont have any questions, youre dismissed!
Hopefully, this time there would be some significant results. Mon.
*
The life of the misceneous fellows in the Western Continent gradually entered the safe track. They diligently hunted Lucifer as I intended and raised their level, and they ate fish once every two days. Level 10 in two days, Level 20 in four days, Level 30 in six days
In this way, the average level of these lowly fellows had risen by 50 in just ten days. The Level 1 heroes, who wereplete newbies, also developed survival strategies and quickly raised their level. In some cases, they could easily catch one or two Lucifer by ttering or flirting with the returnee students or gather some help from the natives or returnee students in exchange for their share of fish.
The seventy heroes who suffered from slightly loosened sphincters also quickly recovered through physical therapy and psychological counseling at the estate. They had to use the restroom much more often than the average person, so they were very slow to hunt, but as their sphincters improved, they began to gain momentum.
Proud: I think Cadet Kang Han-soo has what it takes to be an educator. Youre a great teacher who understands the students minds.
Miss Trainee Teacher! Please refrain from making such terrible remarks as they could damage our secret friendship! Besides, not everything worked out.
Leave me alone.
Mom, I want to see you. Hehe
There were about 10 F-sses who didnt even show the will to live, including the friend who lost his mind after being attacked by the goblins.
There were different reasons among them. The values that they couldnt take a life, religious ideology not to fight, that it was dangerous outside the nket, apathetic that it doesnt matter if theyre weak, a picky eater who hates fish, and one whose sphincter waspletely dead
I will respect your noble will.
I had no intention of forcing them. They were kidnapped into a savage fantasy world, and the kidnappers forced them to take on the dangerous task of killing the Demon King. It had already been decades, but the negative feelings of fear and anger I felt at that time were still somewhere in me.
That was why I could rte. But I just wanted to tell them this. The fundamental reason why I, who was a good citizen who couldnt squish a single cockroach, became a little bit violent.
This is a brutal world. It is a ce where human rights are vited if you dont be strong. No one listens, even if youin about how unfair it is. Power is thew. A beautiful fantasy world? Only if you are strong.
For the weak, this was hell. Goblins and orcs greeted you when you left the vige or city, and troll attacks were asmon as a birthday party. A dragon with dementia whose behavior was inappropriate to its age caused disasters, and there was a wild mercenary and a ruthless noble who were like living bombs.
Even the Earth, a capitalist, wasnt a safe ce for the weak, but legal safeguards such as civil and criminalwsuits exist. My mothers tennis racket was extraterritorial!
Laugh: I feel it sometimes. Cadet Kang Han-soo, when you talk about your mother, it seems like shes going to tear apart a ck hole with her tennis racket.
Haha! Youre so full of imagination, Lady Trainee Teacher! My mother is an ordinary housewife who likes to y tennis. She cant even slice carrots, let alone ck holes. Does it mean that my father cooks for us instead?
Ah! Hes good at hitting hard.
That is for us to decide.
Violence is the worst.
My fantasy cant be like this.
Its safe inside the nket! I know it!
The F-ss heroes were deaf to my exnation. I nodded as a sign of understanding to them and turned around without hesitation. They were promptly removed from the protection list.
They werepletely mistaken. The Lord here provided the minimum amount of food, clothing, and shelter for free to useless humans because of the great MAX-ss hero. Sooner orter, they would realize it.
It didnt even take a day. The Lord carefully monitored the F-ss heroes who were excluded from the list. He took advantage of the opening and dragged them down to the abyss. Taxes, sexual harassment, insults, aiding and abetting, heretics
The weak were guilty just by breathing.
Howe there is such aw in this world? Is it a sin if a woman does not have children!?
I wont say much. If you dont want to follow, get out of my estate.
What about the other women?
Theyre not your business.
The trial quickly ended, and the disobedient female hero was expelled from the territory. She was resummoned fifteen dayster. She didnt say anything about how she lived and died. Shortly after she was resurrected, she married a naive native young man.
The fate of the others was simr. Lets hear the story of the hero who endured the longest.
Its not fair! I was just sitting in my nket! How could I have sexually harassed the maid who cleans up!? This is a setup! I didnt put the finger on her body!
Bring me the evidence.
How about the evidence that I sexually harassed her?
Why do I need that evidence?
Pardon?
Listen well. The maid is a child I love enough to let bathe with my lovely wife. Unless there is clear evidence that she wasnt sexually harassed, I have no choice but to support her. Isnt it natural for a man to side with his family?
Ah
The F-ss hero, who was kicked out of the safety nket, lost his free amodations and was hit with sticks in the square. That was a horrific sight that, as a man, I couldnt watch with my eyes open.
Looks like its pretty muchid out here.
The remaining heroes who witnessed the end of the weak worked even harder. Even though a single goblin was still too much for most of the fellows, the 500% experience boost was reducing the time needed to grow quickly.
It meant it was time for me to move on.
Surprised: Will you deal with the Five Great Disasters alone? I thought youd grow the dust here and fight together.
Time is money, my friend! I cant wait for the motes to grow into arger piece of dust. And already, Ive spent as many as twenty days caring for these elementary school students.
No matter how meddlesome and soft a hero I am, there are limits to this.
I cant do anything further than this.
Because these misceneous fellows caught me, the countless natives living in the Western Continent had suffered for another twenty days. It was like throwing away a million people to save a hundred! I was forced to follow a judgment I should never have made as a righteous and fair hero because of the biases of the Fantasy God.
The Fantasy God was a cancer in the education world.
At a Loss: Ill remain silent.
Miss Trainee Teacher, youre so good socially. Your husband will love you.
Yelling: There is no connection between work and marital life?!
Thisdy is nervous even if I praise her, huh?
Oh! Drug hero, are you finally going on an adventure?
The First Spirit, who just sat idle all day on top of my head, asked for confirmation with a smile. She seemed happy just to see outside like this, but she still harbored the romance of adventure as she was a fellow hero. I shook my head and denied it.
This is not an adventure.
The adventure was exploring and challenging the unknown world. But from now on, what I was going to do was simple subjugation. Although there was a variable that the difficulty had changed significantly, it was nothing more than a review of defeating the Five Great Disasters that I had already defeated once.
Of course, I also prepared for those variables. I didnt just look after the elementary school students for the past twenty days. I learned how to handle corpses from the Lord, and I continued to acquire production-rted skills while visiting the forges and clothing stores around.
It wasnt such a hard job.

It wasnt enough to just say that my sess rate, which was lucky to be corrected for with the favoritism of the universe, was 100%. Here, the energy of the universe was contained in every mote of dust. If I were to make a sword, it would be good enough to be called a treasured sword, the clothes made even ugly women look beautiful, and my cooking was fantastic enough to make even people allergic to Lucifer eat it.
The Command that controlled the corpses was no exception.
Lead the beloved Lord well.
Yes, Master.
I surpassed the ability of the Lord, who taught me the Command skill. Although I stillcked in pure ability, it wasnt difficult if I used the energy of the universe. It was to the extent where I could take control of the Lords wife, whom he loved the most.
It was an action with a very slim sess rate, but to me, even 1% was equal to 100%, so that I could steal it easily. The Lord, who realized this btedly, looked as if he had lost the whole world but soon epted the reality and vowed to obey me. The price of loyalty was his wifes, devoted love!
It wasnt that bad for the Lord. After all, his wife, who was like a doll, was able to express herself like a living creature and move independently. This was also thanks to the energy of the universe.
Sighwhy the hell is this guy so meddlesome?
Am I, the hero, too kind?
Sniffle: What a touching ending. I felt sorry for the Lord every time he looked at his dead wife lovingly without admitting it. Cadet Kang Han-soo, you have saved the poor soul wandering in despair.
Miss Trainee Teacher, its still too early to be impressed. From now on, lets watch the Autumn Plowing Show prepared by this hero!
It wasnt only the misceneous heroes that enjoyed elerated growth in this entrance exam center. The person who benefited the most from it was none other than me. All the preparations were in ce.

I increased the Transcendental Realm Skill to be used as a sacrifice as much as possible. It wasnt difficult initially, but as the Transcendental Realm Skills increased, the number of sacrifices needed to break the limit increased, and it became difficult. If it hadnt been easy to raise production-rted skills, I wouldnt have even dared.
Drug hero! You cant forget our help!
Of course, the freeloading spirits and the favoritism of the universe had been a great help. This was because I was able to secure several special series skills that were difficult to obtain through hard work, thanks to them.
Well! Lets get this show started! Of the predator~? by the predator~? for the predator~.?
It was a fantasy world of the strong, by the strong, for the strong after all.
Chapter 179 - [11th Round] Autumn Plowing Show
Chapter 179 - [11th Round] Autumn Plowing Show
? Surprised: Cadet Kang Han-soo, are you going to go through all those skills?!
I didnt think it was such a waste.
The newly raised Transcendental Realm skills were also to be used as sacrifices, so they were chosen in the order from what I could raise easily. Thats why I put my Fabrication skill on hold at Level MAX. And what else did I learn?
Level ZZZ is crazy.
It was too hard to raise in a normal way. It was more beneficial to ones mental health to use other means like that of Boris. At this time, the question arose again. Why does the Fantasy God nurture heroes? The harmful effects of the entrance exam center alone could be seen, but the system could mass-produce the strongest within the Transcendental realm.
There was no need to kidnap social misfits.
? Exnation: I can tell you that! People from Fantasy cannot live in other dimensions, just like sea fish cannot live in freshwater. And as youll see from orcs and elves, their bodies and souls are imbnced, so they cant fully unleash all their abilities.
Lets just say so for now, Miss Trainee Teacher! Now is the time to enjoy the show.
Gifted ZZ (35%) Gifted ZZ (96%)
The Transcendental realm skill and Level MAX were generously sacrificed. I was prepared from the beginning, but a smile came out automatically. I couldnt believe I had enough proficiency even after all of this!
I couldnt stop now. This was because even if I reduced the number of Transcendental Realm Skills by sacrificing them, the proficiency record remained intact. From now on, I wouldnt have enough skills to make a new Level Z sacrifice.
Bye.
After much thought, I decided to give up the Dark Energy skill. I could easily raise it again if I defeated Demon Lord Pedonar. After all, I had already mastered the sense. It was also possible to create Dark Energy by myself if I put my mind to it. The favoritism of the universe was with me, after all.
Gifted ZZ (96%) Gifted ZZ (99%)
It was a situation in which curse words came out of nowhere. I had no skills to use as a sacrifice anymore. I still had many skills, but the rest were all duplicates. The only exception was Fabrication
This is the only one that must not be sacrificed!
Should I give up the Divinity Skill? However, the remaining proficiency wasnt that much.
It was then.
Spirit F Spirit MAX
Luck F Luck MAX
Skills that I couldnt acquire because they were absorbed by my race suddenly popped up. However, the racial characteristics didnt change. Was it a duplicate of the skill!?
This damn luck is
The blessing of the universe was with me. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Gifted ZZ (99%) Gifted ZZZ
It finally reached Level ZZZ, but the process wasnt smooth. It didnt take that long in terms of time, but the problem was the number of skills that could be acquired. I couldnt raise my limit-breaking proficiency with sacrifice. Toplete Level ZZZ skills, I must master most of the skills ofbat, production, and assistance to the limit.
On the other hand, I could raise them quite easily. Among the Gifted Skills effects, some boost proficiency, so it was easy to re-raise the skills consumed as a sacrifice, and the Level Z effect made it easy to break through my limits. It served to reduce the number of sacrifices needed.
Thanks to this, I created a Level ZZZ skill using only somebat, special, and a few production skills. Normally it would be impossible.

I thought the ZZZ ss was the end, but there was more up there! Was this how I would feel if I thought I no longer needed to study after graduating from high school, but it turned out that I had to study at university again to get my dream job? Of course, I didnt even graduate from high school before I was kidnapped by fantasy barbarians, so I didnt know how that felt.
But this was exactly how I felt at the end of the 1st ythrough! I thought I would be able to go home after defeating the Demon King, but the narrow-minded Fantasy God put my good personality on the line and made me regress. That time was really
? Gifted ZZZ: You who were special from the moment you were born transcended even the boundaries of race. However, there were no smooth days because of the people who were jealous of your specialty. Would you like to be freed from that pain? (Yes/No)
After reading thementary, I frowned to myself. It was because I had no memory of suffering due to envious criminals. But do I need to pretend to be normal? The answer in my mind was no.
After all, strong people were well-treated in this brutal fantasy world where power was everything. If you were misunderstood as an underdog, you would only grow tired. But it couldnt be helped.
Yes.
It was a Level ZZZ skill that I had worked hard to raise by using my abilities. I couldnt keep it sealed just because I didnt care for the effect. And it wasnt that bad. It was different from the situation of the elves, who had no choice but to seal the Level Z effect because they would be retaliated against if they were reincarnated as a spirit.
? Question 1: What do you want to hide the most?
Race
Level

Status
When the Level ZZ effect that reconstructs from the source was activated, the multiple-choice problem popped up again. I wasnt confused because it was my second time, and I chose it without thinking.
Race
It wasnt an exaggeration to say that it ounted for 99% of mybat power. Even hiding this alone could give me the upper hand. When I thought about it this way, it didnt seem that bad to pretend to be ordinary.
?Question 2: What do you hate to hide the most?
Race
Level
Job
Skill
Status
This time it was the opposite question. If theres something you want to hide, theres something you want to reveal! It was a very crucial question for me to avoid being ignored because I was misunderstood as an underdog by the fantasy savages.
The choice was easy again this time.
Level
Since the level was written only in numbers, there was no need to worry about my fighting style being revealed. If my level were high, I wouldnt be ignored. This was because even natives who couldnt see abilities could guess their opponents level with magic tools or their senses.
Are there still more questions?
? Question 3: What is the most important thing?
Race
Level
Job
Skill
Status
This felt like a duplicate of the first question. Wasnt it the most important thing to keep hidden?
Race
However, the difference was evident in the fourth question that followed.
? Question 4: What is the most trivial thing?
Race
Level
Job
Skill
Status
Just because you dont want to hide it doesnt mean its trivial. I want to reveal my level to others, but I dont think its worthless. So it was a bit of a dilemma. It would be right to choose No. 5, Status, without hesitation, but the job Hero did nothing for me. Plus, the Status yed an important role in the 1st ythrough.
Bleeding, Cursed, Fracture, Deceptive, Sage, Weakening
It monitored my condition in real-time like an expert doctor.
Job
Thus the multiple-choice questions ended. This meant that all choices had been made.
? Gifted ZZZ: Thank you for your hard work. Thank you very much for your sincere answers to these questions. These choices are irreversible by any means, including regression and previous lives, and no one is responsible for the consequences. Please confirm if you understand the content. (Yes/No)
It didnt seem to have the effect of hiding the abilities. I thought it would be good for a Level ZZZ effect if it just hid them.
Freeloaders. Take good care of me.
I could look for a safe ce like when I reconstructed from the source, but I was full of groundless confidence that there would be no existence capable of harming me who was favored by the universe. So I decided to push it ahead.
Drug hero, are you transforming again?
The First Spirit, quick-witted as always, asked a quick question. But somehow, she seemed to be very pleased.
Yeah. Another transformation.
You seem to shed as often as a bug.
If you have anyints, just leave.
This hero who always has to be righteous is so mean! How could you threaten the unfortunate spirit addicted to drugs to take responsibility and take care of you?! Do you even have a conscience? Of course, I dont mean to move out. Leave your body to us and sleep as much as you want. Grow up eternally.
Dont pretend to be innocent after saying all those things.
I fell asleep listening to the bad words from the First Spirit. How long would I sleep this time?
*
Whats going on? I was sure I had fallen asleep with the Level ZZZ effect activated. Then, when I came to my senses, I would check the changes and reorganize ordingly. But now, the scene unfolding before my eyes was telling me that this ce was still in a dream.
Hero, are you going to create a skill?
Oh, my! Is that possible?
Hero, you always surprise me every time
Creating skills! This is sphemy- Whoops!
Elder sister, please understand the atmosphere.
The First Hero was seen surrounded by many beautiful girls. He was much younger than the appearance I had identified with the Relics of Chaos, statues, and portraits. More than that, his expression was alive. It wasnt the face of a man stained with agony and remorse. He didnt appear to be a man who couldnt stand his situation and would run away from home to the third world.
I hope it is a skill that increases fruitfulness.
There was also the unfortunate third Elf King. He gazed at the heros harem with joy while revealing his desires without hesitation.
Elfheim, I think it would be nice to have a skill that rehabilitates a ck-minded male like you.
The First Spirit, who was sitting on the left shoulder of this elf man, scolded him with an elegant voice. A beautiful figure that would be believed to be a goddess if she introduced herself as one! But she only appeared abominable because I knew that the First Spirit was carefully managing her image.
Up to this point, I would have skipped it. However, it wasnt just the heros harem and his friends here.
Lanuvel is curious about that, too!
The hero makes skills? Wow
I wish it was magic to stop nosebleeds.
I dont know of your limits, Darling?.
Lanuvel, Alex, Sage, Aqua, Saint A, Saint B, Saint C, Mercenary King, Thief King, Pirate King, Sword Princess, Bandit King, Scioscia, Elf B, Ileana, Sylvia, Gambling King, Holy Dragon King, Good Dragon King, Knight King
There was a crowd of colleagues I knew very well. Of course, if I look closely, I could see that only their facial features were simr, but they werepletely different characters. Ileana, Sylvia, and the Sword Princess. These three were typical. Among them, the two elf women were ring at the back of the unfortunate Elf Kings head, and perhaps because of his taste, their chests were very big for elves.
Anyway
The young man, who stood at the center of this unique group, would defeat the First Demon and be called the First Hero. He eximed curiously.
If I acquire this skill made with the Gifted ZZ effect, I will be able to escape the fate of confrontation with the nature of demons and angels! Im revealing it to you for the first time! The name of this skill is Brave!
The moment I heard this deration, I instinctively felt that the mosaic of my ck Box had been lifted. And at this point, the First Hero looked right at me.
This wasnt an illusion. There was nothing but the dark sky of the Western Continent behind me, who was slightly floating in the air like a ghost, yet he greeted me with a smile on his face.
New heroes are always wee.
The dream world, centered on the First Hero, began to twist as if caught in a time-space storm. The world spun round and round.
Crazy motion sickness. What a fucking dream is this?!
Im sorry. Because its a fucking dream.
Huh?
Its nice to meet you, my dear youngerrade.
And the real world appeared before my eyes.
Chapter 180 - [11th Round] I Guarantee
Chapter 180 - [11th Round] I Guarantee
The First Hero. He looked young, in histe teens. However, there was a strong atmosphere of exhaustion and decay about him, like a time-worn father. His attire looked more like an adventurer than a king. However, the medals on top reminded me of a spaceship captain from a science-fiction movie.
His surroundings were also unusual. On the left and right of me, facing him, sitting on arge chair as wide as a sofa, were many men and women. It didnt seem that they were his servants. What king in the world would leave his servants naked, after all?
They each had a name tag hanging around their necks, and they didnt move except to blink or roll their eyes. A very bizarre sight.
The First Hero exined with a calm face.
They are heroes and heroes who resisted or challenged me. I hire them because outstanding people persuade me, but the clumsy ones like this entertain guests. The ratings are good because its fun to choose ording to ones taste. I want to rmend it to you, my junior, but we dont have much time, so lets put it off for the next time.
There wasnt much time given. This means that this wasnt aplete summons. To prove that, my body didnt exist here.
Do you have any business with me?
First of all, as the creator of the Brave Skill, I sincerely congratte you on your growth, my junior. I can understand all those who have inherited the spirit of bravery. Of course, the target of intensive observation is limited to those who have surpassed a certain level like you.
Are you watching me?
Once in a while. It was hard to bear watching your adventures because I regretted the past where I was so soft on my wives and colleagues. This is my honest heart. Ah! It was shocking to learn that the First Spirit, who looked like a dignified goddess, was a prude. Haha!
I guess it was true. If I could sue this senior for an invasion of privacy, I would. The First Hero, who stoppedughing out loud slowly, rose slowly from his throne and spoke seriously.
The conclusion Ivee to from my observations is that you are not the type of person who works for others.
Im willing to do it if theres enough to pay for it, though
Ive killed a few royals and nobles when my hands slipped, but dont get me wrong. I am a hero who knows how to be flexible.
Haha! If the price is not enough, youre going to cut their head off right away, right?
Junior, Ive already sent one of my subordinates to scout you. But the answer that came back was the death of my subordinate. Still, I am approaching you more favorably. I hope you see that in a positive light.
It looks like there are no talented people around you?
Thats right.
I lost my retort as the First Hero gave a cool affirmation.
Brave is a skill that ignores abilities, but there are only a handful of beings who can handle this properly. Military? Its meaningless. You cant deal with a God who manages the abilities with those very same abilities. The arrogant Pedonar faced me one-on-one and was defeated by Brave, but such an anecdote will nevere again.
The target is the Fantasy God?
The corners of the seniors mouth went up so high that they could catch his ears after hearing my question. It was the perfect smile of a hero who wanted to learn.
Do you need time to think?
Of course.
I couldnt decide on anything at the moment. It was because I couldnt understand the seniors true feelings as much as his abnormal abilities.
? Race: Human
? Level: 362
? Job: King (Military = Ability)
? Skills: Brave SS Swordsmanship S Magic S Indomitable S Immunity S

The overall stats were too low to fit the name of the First Hero. It didnt make any sense that he would be inferior to the men and women standing there like ornaments. Even the mermaid that looked pathetic next to me right now had better stats.
? Race: Legendary Mermaid

Aside from her perfect body and face that would fit the title of mermaid queen, her abilities were quite good. There were tens of thousands of these men and women in this ce. It was like watching the Terracotta heroes of the Qin Shi Huang Tomb in China. The difference was that they were naked and still alive.
It must be the Gifted ZZZs effect that made him look ordinary. It could be said that the First hero in my dream created the Brave Skill with the effect of Gifted ZZ and then raised it to Gifted ZZZ to make him appear normal.
Times up.
As soon as he finished speaking, the world began to blur. I hurriedly asked.
My Distant Senior. Can I summon you again at will?
If you can find the things I gave to my ex-lovers, it will be possible. The Relics of Chaos? Its a very unpleasant name, but it did bring chaos to the world. Lets meet againter and have a serious conversation, New Hero.
*
A cool breeze rushed up to my back. Thanks to it, I knew right away that I was lying on the cold ground. Did I reallye back this time?
I slowly opened my eyes. The bright sunlight didnt wake me up like before. After all, this was the Western Continent where sunlight couldnt reach the ground.
What are you doing with my fingers?
I did nothing! Your finger just happened to be there! Whats with those suspicious eyes?! Its so unpleasant! Howe you see the first and noblest spirit in the universe like that?!
I got up, ignoring the indignant First Spirit. As expected, there was nothing wrong with my body. Then, what about my abilities?

This was the result of faithfully answering the multiple-choice question. I seeded in hiding it all except for my level as I wished. This is the essence of the Brave skill, which I previously called the ck Box. It was a job characteristic that lowered the ability level. The First Hero seemed to be observing me with his authority as its creator.
The racial characteristics were also slightly strengthened.
? Type: Race
? Name: Universal Human Plus
? ss: The First
? The First 1: Control the universe to the extent of a molecule.
? Characteristic 1: Receive the universes obsession.
? Race 1: Spirit.
The characteristic had changed very subtly from favoritism to obsession.
Isnt this a little dangerous?
It wasnt just a feeling. The feeling of my soul being pulled somewhere was stronger than before. A sense of crisis crept up on my spine, not yet enough to say it was serious, but that it wouldnt be strange if I were kidnapped at any time. I felt the need to rush the evasion work.
Drug hero. I dont know what you were talking about when you woke up so suddenly, but theres nothing more dangerous than my addiction. Promise me youll take responsibility forever.
Im done with promises, and the First Hero wants me to say that you were a prude.
What-?!
It was confusing to have a job interview with a senior at school without notice, but that didnt change what I would do because the show wasnt over yet.
I started to sharpen my MAX level skills following Level Z.
Fabrication MAX Fabrication Z
If I put it up in advance, only the proficiency required to break the limit increased, so it was the Fabrication Skill that had been put on hold until now. It finally broke the seal and entered the Transcendental realm!
? Type: Skill
? Name: Fabrication
? Grade: Z (54%)
? ZZ: Disguise yourself as God.
? Z: Win the appeal of God.
? SSS: Disguise yourself as a family member.
? SS: Disguise yourself as a lover.
? S: Disguise yourself as a friend.
? A: Disguise yourself as a witness.
? B: Win the appeal of a family.
? C: Win the appeal of a lover.
? D: Win the appeal of a friend.
?E: Win the appeal of a witness.
? F: Lies be more usible.
The Level ZZ effect of the Fabrication was beckoning me. However, it had to be put aside for another time because all the umted offerings were exhausted. It couldnt reach it anyway, could it? Now that the big hurdle of Gifted ZZZ has been ovee, it could be solved with time and effort.
How many days has it been?
Thats a really stupid question, drug hero. A drugged spirit couldnt care about such a trivial thing, huh?! Just kidding, dont rip off my wings! It seems like three months have passed!
? Peek: Its been three years.
Oh! Miss Trainee Teacher, thank you for telling me.
? Greetings: Did you sleep well, Cadet Kang Han-soo? I have many questions but let me tell you that I have missed you for the past three years.
Miss Trainee Teacher, youve changed to be more aggressive, huh? In the past, you emphasized so much that students and teachers shouldnt cross the line, didnt you?
? Embarrassed: Oh, please dont get me wrong! That idea remains the same! This is because, while Cadet Kang Han-soo was sleeping, I was called by a senior to be in charge of Cadet Sieg again. And even Cadet Lukeits been a hellish three years.
It must have been hard for Miss Trainee Teacher, who doesnt usuallyin, to describe it as hellish years. And now, my fantasy career has reached sixty years.
The 60th anniversary, huh
Just thinking about it made me dizzy. I could hear briefly from Miss Trainee Teacher what happened in this entrance exam center over the past three years.
?Commentary: A total of 1001 heroes were summoned here, including Cadet Kang Han-soo. You can think of it as summoning 200 people per continent. But in the past three years, none of the cadets have seeded in recruitingrades. Instead, a new concept emerged that heroes are now followers ofpanions.
Followers, you say
It urred to me that this flow was natural unless there was a genius hero who reached the ZZZ Realm in the three years while I slept.
? Affirmation: Only a handful of cadets have entered the Transcendental Realm, let alone ZZZ. Currently, they are divided into two groups: followers and underdogs. A lot of my ssmates and juniors are being put in to lead them indirectly. In particr, they are struggling with the psychological treatment for those who have fallen behind.
Are you saying that all the Five Great Disasters are still alive? I expected one or two to be sorted out by the power of friendship, but I guess I overestimated my hometown friends. Any other special cases?
?Hope: There has been a little progress. Although they are being carried by theirrades, some active followers are approaching the Five Great Disasters. There is also a hopeful analysis from seniors that the day of subjugation isnt far away!
ording to Miss Trainee Teacher, I think Ill just have to take over the West Continent.
Now I could hear the voices of some nearby people and monsters.
Take the orc on the right!
Haha! Ill show you my power out of the nket!
Huhu~?!
Juuu~?!
It was happening at quite a distance, but it was visible to my eyes. The female hero who had been attacked by goblins in the past and the male hero who had been kicked out of the nket were teaming up and ying many orcs with ease. It was a level of growth that was unimaginable in the past.
? Race: Arch Human
? Level: 2459

The young herody who was insulted by the goblins had be strong enough to annihte orcs. The man next to her had no Transcendental realm skills but was preparing to break through his limits as his stats were dominated with MAX-level skills.
A total of a thousand such heroes? I thought it was worth a try.
p!
Spreading out the wings of a righteous hero, I flew through the dark sky with a lighter heart.
The subjugation of the Five Great DisastersI didnt think I had to deal with it myself. But it would be polite to subdue at least one.
Is this too easy?
To meet the Five Great Disasters, a hero must pass through several gates and trials, but it was meaningless to me, who monopolized the love of the universe. The gates and trials were resolved naturally.
What was the first thing that stood in my way?
Lanuvel will fight for Lord Shakespeare!
My name is Alex. I am the sword of the Phantom King.
Youre a pretty cool guy, too. What a shame that youre my darlings enemy?.
A thief with a Holy Sword?! This is definitely sphemy!
They were the corpses of colleagues and members of the harem that I had seen in my dreams. And in the middle of it
Crazy
One of the Five Great Disasters stood there. This entrance exam wasnt made to be broken. I guarantee it.
Chapter 181 - [11th Round] Universe Co., Ltd.
Chapter 181 - [11th Round] Universe Co., Ltd.
Its really strange. I havent received any reports of intruders from my people. Does that mean there are traitors? Well, thats fine. Thats an issue Ill have to figure outter. That sword that vibrates with a horrible stench must be the Holy Sword. Then you must be a hero who is a servant of that detestable God.
The Phantom King Shakespeare, the ruler of the vampires that live on the Western Continent. Given itsck of sunlight, it served as the best environment for vampires to live in. Originally, I had to visit the vampire cities in the middle of the continent to get help with my subjugation.
But it wasnt easy to win that cooperation. This was because it proved difficult to solve the various problems scattered around the city to build trust and convince the beautiful vampire mayors chosen by the Phantom King Shakespeare to help. They feared their ruler, after all.
The tyranny of a one-man army that was too strong. That was one of the Five Great Disasters, the Phantom King Shakespeare.
A servant of God, you say? It is a very offensive expression. I am just a young man full of dreams and the desire to kill the Fantasy God.
I didnt bother with the vampires cooperation. They were cumbersome to persuade, and the effect I received was nothing more than reducing the number of legions the Phantom King summoned. It was much more beneficial to fundamentally reduce the number of corpses by swinging the Holy Sword by myself.
This was the regret that I felt after defeating the Phantom King in the 1st ythrough.
You are a funny hero.
The original race and appearance of the Phantom King Shakespeare were unknown. It was said that he changed his body because of the wounds he received from a certain hero in the distant past. However, the wounds in his soul remained, so he set world conquest on hold and concentrated on healing.
This was the setting. But this wasnt the truth. The Phantom King Shakespeare immediately restored the power of his heyday, a fact evident by looking at this vampires status.
? Race: Vampire Lord
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Tyrant (Violence Domination)
? Skill: Command G Sorcery ZZZ Immortality ZZZ Possession ZZZ Immunity ZZ
? Status: Good
He was perfectly fine. There were no lingering injuries or seals at all. Nevertheless, all Five Great Disasters put their ambitions for world domination or world destruction on hold for various reasons, and the truth was that they were wary of the old dragon living in the center.
Noebius, the Dragon King. The legendary evil dragon, which was infamous even before the remaining Five Great Disasters were born, deterred a possible war.
Anyway, Shakespeares skill had a Level G among them. You may think that it was only one level difference from the Level ZZZ, but making one would require at least ten Level ZZZ skills to be sacrificed. The change in thebat power was visible.
So, do you use the hero as a weapon since youre a viin?
In the 1st ythrough, the Phantom King Shakespeares Command was nothing more than a Level SS. That alone was enough to make him the Death Ruler, but now even his lowest skill had reached Level ZZ. As such, the Five Great Disasters had also be stronger.
Enough to step into the realm of God.
It is the ultimate Command called memory resuscitation. There is no need for the soul or corpse of the dead. Its a divine technique that embodies the information left. Modern Hero, dont you want to prove it? The fact that you are stronger and better than your legendary predecessor. Take this opportunity to prove it. Of course, if you can survive. Hahaha!
The Command G effect was memory resuscitation. Lets take a note. So, the abilities of the senior in front of me
? Race: Ghost of a Righteous Man
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skill: Brave G, Holy ZZ Dark Energy ZZ Military ZZ Magic ZZ
? Status: Holy sword, Saint, Holy Relic, Constetion, Divine Beast
The skillposition was as high as a member of the heros harem, regardless of race and taste. It was almostughable. Wasnt he too over-geared?
You a hero? Nonsense! The hero is me!
However, I was alert from the first exchange of words. The First Hero summoned by memory resuscitation gave an overwhelming feeling that he was a strong kid, perhaps due to the age difference in his appearance. But that power was real.
Wheiiing!
The Holy Sword summoned by the fake senior swept through the energy of all attributes mixed.
The First Spirit spoke above my head.
The children were torn apart because of a fake me sitting on the shoulder of the fake Elfheim. It will take some time to get all the kids on our side.
You are educating your children wrong.
Uwah!? I cant believe Im hearing that from the drug hero!
But the fake senior didnt attack me right away and simply watched. The same went for the fake seniorspanions and harems. When I saw that attitude, a smirk formed. It was because they were waiting for me to finish my battle preparations.
After all, he was a righteous hero. He wouldnt make any surprise attacks.
Tsk. This hero has never been this rxed before.
The Phantom King Shakespeare, who looked displeased at the fake seniors party behavior, raised his arms. I knew the meaning of that action.
Shriek
Shriek
Shakespeares exclusive ghost army was summoned, but the scale was different from when I saw it before. Human, giant, elf, dwarf, goblin, orc, troll, ogre, dragon, mermaid, vampire, hydra, Wyvern
All kinds of corpses sprang up from the ground. Its scale, which filled all the horizons that came into my sight, seemed capable of conquering the world. It wasnt just the quantity that had increased, either. They were no longer bodies that rushed in naked without fear.

Some gave up conscience andmon sense. Just one dragon on the ordinary Fantasy Continent was capable of destroying the world. And whats worse? The Five Great Disasters that casually summoned these had yet to move in earnest.
He spoke bluntly.
Young hero! Join forces with yourpanions and try to stop them! The Phantom King Shakespeare will teach you the horror of death!
Companions? Ha!
What does that sneer mean?
I dont like the way of thinking of the natives of the Fantasy Continent. They thought that all heroes use the power of friendship.
Shakespeare, listen carefully. The power of friendship is to preserve the weak.
I hadnt been content to be weak so far. I could be stronger if I trained in the time otherwise used to gather allies and socialize. I was going to prove it from now on.
Haha! Are you iming that you are strong even after seeing this? Hero, how foolish and ignorant-
Its here.
What?
What the hero needs is the support of arge corporation, not colleagues. Keep it in your skull. Oh, if you have time to engrave it there.
Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Meteorites poured down from the sky.
*
From the point of view of the universe, superhumans and ordinary people were the same. If you throw them into a sun with a core temperature of 15 million K, they will evaporate in an instant. The same was true of ck holes that absorbed even light. When caught up in its gravity, evens werepressed to the level of fine dust motes.
The current situation was simr.
Its not the same level as attacking little by little with magic.
Meteorite Summoning Magic, which could destroy even arge city instantly, was designated as forbidden magic. However, if a sage or a schr saw this scene now, they would think that magic was just a joke inparison to a real meteor shower.
The Western Continent was covered with ss.
As the meteorites fell, it swept away the legion, and earthquakes and magma devoured the few surviving remnants. Even the sky wasnt safe. Whirlwinds and typhoons raged amid the meteorites that constantly fell, disrupting the flight. Even the light methane gas that spurted from the cracks in the ground made it difficult to fly as it rose.
Atst, the quartz, a mineralposed of oxygen and silicon, and the most abundant element in the earths crust. Quartz was the mainponent of crystal, a vessel for magic on the Fantasy Continent, and was often used as a ss material on Earth.
The quartz melted by the natural disaster wasid on the surface, and the tidal wave that came in to sweep away the heat-resistant weeds cooled it beautifully.
? Amazed: It has be a very beautiful world of jewelry!
Miss Trainee Teacher seems to like jewelry, huh?
? Confident: Of course! Im a woman too!
It was a very unscientific logic to think that Miss Trainee Teacher is a woman just because she likes jewelry. Anyway.
Boris. Finish it.
The wise universe had cleverlyid the te out for me to finish, but I wasnt stupid enough to fall for it. Jewelry, including ss, had a very high conductivity of energy. Therefore, it is always used as a material for magical catalysts.
Like this surface.
Yes, Master.
The Level ZZZ exorcist summoned at my call touched the ss floor, pouring out the energy of exorcism. The energy spread, conducted by the surface of the ss.
Kyaaaah~~?!
Aaaarghh~~?!
Reeee~~?!
A ghost was a twisted being who refused to die. Therefore, it was very vulnerable to exorcism. The powerful ghosts that survived even the horrific natural disasters let out horrendous screams as they were destroyed.
And what was left?
Cough-cough! W-what the hell is this?!
The vampire, his body tattered, was kneeling and vomiting blood with his hands on the floor.
The Phantom King of the Five Great Disasters, Shakespeare. He was left unable to do anything.
? Race: Vampire Lord
? Level: 1
? Job: Tyrant (Violence Domination)
? Skill: Command G Sorcery ZZZ Immortality ZZZ Possession ZZZ Immunity ZZ

What was noteworthy was his level. No matter how high the skill level, there was nothing he can do at that level to support it. To make matters worse, thend around him was full of Level ZZZ Exorcism. It would have been nice to see himpletely disabled.
But that level wasnt my responsibility.
How dare you to dominate the hero and hispanions even though youre a viin? I will finish you after I deal with that impersonator!
It was what the fake senior said. He survived the natural disaster in which 30% of the Western Continent was destroyed. The same went for the fakepanions and harem he protected. There seemed to be no stragglers.
But was that possible withmon sense? The First Spirit exined.
That guy is also a being that gets the attention of nature. Its easy enough to escape the wrath of the universe. Simply put, he neutralized his misfortune with high-level luck. And because he has a lot of affection, he constantly practiced and researched so that his colleagues and lovers wouldnt die. As a result, his ability to protect others has reached the level of a God. Keep it in mind when fighting him.
Really?
What a coincidence. My specialty was breaking others mental states by killing their colleagues and lovers.
Hero! Lanuvel will punish that impersonator!
Haha! Just hearing your cute voice gives me strength. Thank you, Lanuvel.
Ive decided that youre the first prey. Pretending to be cute is a sin, after all.
Real Senior, just eat your popcorn while watching what will happen if you are hostile to this junior.
Chapter 182 - [11th Round] Great Solidarity!
Chapter 182 - [11th Round] Great Solidarity!
Having created the wings of the righteous hero, I leaped towards the fake Lanuvel. With the cooperation of the universe, my mobility, infinitely free from thews of physics such as air resistance, was terrifying even when I thought about it.
My target was the fake Lanuvels neck. The area between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae was calling me.
Whiiek- Ting!
However, the fake senior blocked my path with the Holy Sword 2. It was unbelievable even to be called teleportation as he materialized before me in the blink of an eye. Then he pushed me back.
Youre such a nasty impostor! How could you aim for a cute girl?!
I had just created a ZZZ skill, so my abilities were at a disadvantage. On the other hand, the fake senior in front of me had a lot of high-level skills. To make matters worse, I was also behind in levels. But I had the Holy Sword Nucleon.
Smack, crack-
The fake seniors Holy Sword 2 couldnt stand it. While his ability level had risen due to the effect of this entrance exam center, the equipment he was wearing remainedcking. It was no match for the pure Holy Sword Nucleon made by carving the stars.
H-how could an impersonator hold such a Holy?
The fake senior, noticing the condition of his own Holy Sword, was confused. The Holy Sword could never be destroyed. Although that was a slight exaggeration, the Holy Swords de was sharp and hard, and its recovery function was excellent. Yet, such a Holy Sword was about to snap.
Its obvious. I am real, after all!
I stepped back without revealing any ws. I gained momentum by pping my wings and changed direction at once, aiming at his fellow trash who watched the battle without a qualm as the hero fought. Who should I pick this time?
Ah! I felt like an idiot for needing to think about it. Targeting Lanuvel was purely out of my own personal feelings, but if I analyzed it objectively, the answer was to hunt the healer first.
Saint A, Saint B, Saint C. All the saints active in the Fantasy Continent gathered in one ce. The saints who said that there was no way to act together because of doctrine or self-esteem were naturally apanying him. Was this also a difference in the generation?
Anyhow, its something good at this moment.
Ugh! Stop him!
Hesing this way!
Hero~!
The fake heros colleagues and harem were surprised. I wanted to finish them off perfectly with a surprise attack, but their abilities were quite high. They recognized my movements and reacted. The saints stood in the center, surrounded by the long-ranged attackers such as wizards and archers. The outer side of this formation was protected by strong guys like Alex and the Knight King.
The rest were preparing self-defense.
Yhap!
A bandit elf wasing in from my side. Were those breasts of the woman that looked like Ileana also fake? I decided to check it out right away by swinging the Holy Sword Nucleon towards her. I didnt defend at all. After all, there was no need to calcte who would suffer more if I exchanged one-on-one with a timid elf.
Whoosh~
The fake Ileanas dagger, which was about to pierce my neck, narrowly missed. Just seeing her eyes shoot wide open like a rabbit, she seemed to have made a great mistake herself.
Then, how about me?
Your opponent is me!
Just before splitting the fake Ileanas head, the fake senior broke in again. Clicking my tongue, I aimed at another prey. Aqua, Bandit King, Sage, Elf King, Harem
However, my attacks couldnt connect due to the interference of a fake senior. It was possible to inflict minor wounds, but each time the saints came forward and restored them instantly, so it ended in vain. The First Spirit, grabbing my hair as if she were riding a roller coaster, suddenly frowned.
I told you. That guy specializes in protecting his allies. He gave each colleague and woman their magic tool. There is a magic circle and coordinates engraved on it that teleports him directly near the tool.
You shouldve told me early!
It didnt matter now. After all, the fake seniors weapon, Holy Sword 2, was on the verge of breaking. I couldnt be stopped even if he teleported in front of his ally.
But again, it wasnt that simple.
Holy Creature! Help me!
The holy relics guarded by Saint B of the Southern Continent appeared. It looked like a piece of rag but rubbing it would restore anything to its original form. The Holy Sword was no exception.
Sacred being! Holy dragon! Holy saint! Lend me power!
The sacred series indicated in his status were summoned one after another. The Divine Beast, Holy Dragon, and Saint. The summoned Divine Beast was the two-legged cat I met the other day on Snowy Mountain M in the North Continent. The Holy Dragon was the first green dragon I had ever seen, and the Saint was the one in the funeral memories contained in the garter belt.
The cooperation of the universe didnt help at this moment. The meteorites stopped falling from the sky because the fake hero neutralized them. The other natural disasters dont help either. However, no attack touched me.
Cough-cough!
S-such a mistakecough!
Cough! Please take care of the rest!
The sage and wizards who belonged to the fake hero party copsed after a sudden surge in Mana. The archers had broken their bows and were left unsure of what to do, while the saints suddenly doubted their faith and fell into anguish. The harem, who had littlebat power in the first ce, was still a private cheerleading squad full of ck hearts and desires to be overnight millionaires by marrying the hero
There were only a few real powers left.
Is that Boris woman who looks like my sister an elf?! How can an elf grow such a coveted fruitif I can touch them, I wont even regret dyinghmmmm!
Elfheim. Its my regret to fight together with you.
I dont want to hear that from an enviable Gambling King who touches a new fruit almost every day.
Haha! Anyway, it seems that all the friends who are usually unlucky are gonethere are no coincidences in this world.
Only those with high-level Luck Skills avoided the universes cooperation, such as the Fake Elf King, Gambling King, Sword Princess, and Bandit King. They helped the fake senior to pressure me. But these were people I had already met as colleagues. I had a good sense of their fighting style.
The problem was the fake senior.
sh! sh! sh!
He appeared here and there by teleportation, assisting his colleagues in their attacks or saving them from danger alongside the Divine Beast, Holy Dragon, and Saint. At this point, avoiding them became more difficult even with the universes help.
The power of despicable friendship!
The weak, who were no match against me in a one-on-one, were uniting to oppress me. The weak, who yed around every day, were uniting and trying to ridicule the hard work of those growing stronger with sincerity.
The extreme of absurdity and irrationality! But if it continued like this, my defeat would be a fact. My righteous wings had already been cut once. I could only regenerate them twice more; any more than that would be difficult.
I felt a sacrifice was inevitable. In this battle, Boris, who was second only to the fake senior in terms of abilities, fulfilled her role by keeping the beast and dragon in check. However, the other two
Hiplia, Green Cake.
I clenched my teeth and summoned them. Saint H and the Green Hatchling were far from ready to participate in this battle based on the Level ZZZ, but I had no choice to turn the tables by splitting my foes up and reducing the number of fakes.
Ive been waiting for your call, Master.
Yeah
I responded to Saint Hs greeting withposure. Leaving her job as a saint, she was a woman who had devotedly served me withoutint in this barbaric Fantasy World.
Its been 50 years.
Always, when it was difficult for me, she was there, and it was also because of her that I began to lead such a correct lifestyle.
She wouldnt forgive me for sacrificing her in a ce likehmm?
? Race: Holy Angel
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Saint (Faith Resurrection)
? Skill: Faith G Judgment ZZ Punishment ZZ Training ZZ Flight Z
? Status: Holy
Her abilities were weird. The others were indeed strange, but her Faith Skill was? The first to react to her appearance was the Phantom King Shakespeare, who had somehow already be a sidekick.
Kaaargh~?! My eyeeesss~?!
The member of the Five Great Disasters, who had fallen to Level 1, couldnt look directly at the dazzling angel armed with Level G Faith. He struggled as if he were about to run out of breath.
N-no way!
The fake senior, who instinctively noticed that he couldnt maintain his shape if the Phantom King Shakespeare disappeared, hurriedly canceled his Brave Skill. Thanks to that, the Phantom King Shakespeare barely avoided extinction but continued to tremble miserably as he smashed his face into the dirt. All to ignore a frightening reality.
I prayed for you during these three years.
O-oh, I see!
Its a fact Ive felt for a long time, but priests in the Fantasy World were more deceitful than heroes. I couldnt believe she could be this strong just by praying! Although it was a clue that her heart must be sincere, it was qualitatively different from the Gods of the earth who didnt repay you materially no matter how much you pray.
So how could you not believe it?
Greeee~!
Green Cake also grew even more during the three years I slept. His abilities didnt change much from three years ago, but his level increased significantly, and his size became as big as Noebiuss foot in his twilight era.
Ruru?!
Ruru!
The frightened Lucifer crowd ebbed away. Those who didnt budge even when meteorites fell from the sky were frightened by the baby dragon and ran away. But the sky was still dark. This was because the wide-spread wings of Green Cakepletely covered the sky.
That hatchling?!
The Holy Dragon reacted violently, looking up at Green Cake as he looked down at the ss-covered world with curious eyes. Previously facing Boris as abatant in a human-dragon form, she returned to her original form of a giant dragon. And she spoke to Green Cake.
G, Gree?
Greee?
Gree, Gree.
Greeee-!
I had Interpreter A, but that wasnt enough to understand the dragonsnguage. The two dragons that met in the sky didnt fight but continued to talk. It wasnt bad for me. If the Holy Dragon and Green Cake fought, Green Cake, who was behind in terms of abilities and size, would be defeated. Id appreciate it if hed buy me some time like that.
He has be quite quick-witted, huh.
He knew exactly how to support himself, who was rtively weaker than the enemy dragon. I felt a little better because I felt like I had finally found this guys battle aptitude. Lets grow up to be an evil dragon smoothly like this!
Imposter! I cant believe you have more secret colleagues- let me talk to you!
Tsk!
I was about to present a cervical disk problem to the Gambling King, but I failed because of the fake seniors interruption, whom I thought had rxed for a moment. His reaction speed was monstrous.
Hiplia.
ording to the will of God. Arise, my warriors!
Saint H resurrected the dead at the expense of her level. It was different from the memory resuscitation of Shakespeare. It was to bring back the dead from thisnd. It didnt matter if theycked a body. It was like acquiring a new life with the new body that Saint H made.
This was the strength of the Saint strengthened by Faith G.
Shakespeare! Even after death, I have not forgotten!
The enemy of my wife! Shakespeare!
The Phantom King! Im back from hell!
The ghosts sacrificed or tortured by the Phantom King Shakespeares necromantic experiments were resurrected in response to the Saints call.
And there were also a million of them! Most were vampires and humans, but the odd angel and demon were mixed in. They inherited their skills while they were alive, but they were all Level 1 and naked, so it didnt seem like they would be of any help in battle.
But I didnt mind.
Lets fight fair and square like a hero.
I grinned and activated my Job Effect.
Chapter 183 - [11th Round] The Great One
Chapter 183 - [11th Round] The Great One
My new job Brave. It boasted a fantastic performance that was different from that of the beginner job Hero, which only helped one y around while chatting and giggling with ones colleagues without any problem.
? Job: Brave (Everyone = Level 1)
Everyone around me had fallen to Level 1 equally. Transcendental skills were so highly efficient that they managed to perform effectively even if they fell to Level 1. Still, if the normal skills that support the Transcendental ones be ineffective, they couldnt be properly used.
This is Brave!
The creator, the fake senior, immediately noticed the change. Knowing that didnt make things any better.
Kill them all!
My revenge!
Lets destroy the ghosts!
For Lady Saint!
One million troops were moving forward, waving their shameful parts. The scene was more one of horror and madness than a bizarre striptease show.
Those people areing!
What the hell are these fanatics?!
Come on, blow them away with magic!
But my level!
About thirty people, including the fake heros colleagues and harem, ran about in confusion. However, they soon made up their mind and decided to fight. They were looking at their hero.
I knew that look of trust well.
You believe that the hero will solve it somehow! What a very soulful attitude!
Now, I would break that belief. Everyone was Level 1 equally. In terms of armaments and skills, the fake hero party had an overwhelming advantage, but they were only thirty people, and we had a million on this side anyway.
Boom! Bang! Bang!
Magic, which had entered the Transcendental Realm, fell in the center of the one million troops charging forward. The thousands caught in it were killed or injured, but the fanatics who were given new life by Saint H didnt give haste.
Goool~!
Siiiil~!
Even after dropping to Level 1, the holy beasts were strong. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives in vain, exposed to the breath of the dragon flying into the sky. However, the brutalities of the two holy monsters didnt continue.
I will give the wicked dragons a divine punishment!
Lets die together! Lizard!
A beautiful scene unfolded where angels and demons worked together to defeat the dragon and beast. They had no weapon to injure their hard scales, but they ripped through the thin film of their wings and prevented them from flying.
Pyooong- Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The archers who somehow repaired their broken bows also peppered them with arrows. The hundreds of naked and unarmed fanatics were covered with feathered shafts. However, since their arrow supply wasnt infinite, they quickly abandoned their bows and switched to melee weapons.
The fanatics have decreased a lot!
Isnt this worth a try?
Let me show you my new skill!
Haha! Melee is my specialty!
The number of fanatics that once reached 1 million was now less than 10,000. It was proof that the heros party was that strong even at Level 1. It also served to prove that Transcendental skills were less affected by level.
But it was the same for this side.
Rise again, my warriors!
Saint H revived the 990,000 fanatics who had fallen during the charge. This time, her level wasnt consumed either. Instead, the skills of the resurrected ones were reduced. However, not a single fatality urred, and there was no difference inbat power at Level 1.
O-oh, my God!
Theyre all alive?
An immortal army
The atmosphere of the fake hero party, which had picked up momentum, subsided in an instant as if they had cold water poured on them. The ranks of the army had swelled back to full in an instant. Now, however, the distance was close enough to hear their footsteps. The fake hero party had to wee them without having time to prepare further.
Finally, the two groups collided. Even calling it a collision would be a shame. They have swept away in an instant like a flock of sheep in a tsunami. Armed with hard armor, Alex and the Knight Kingsted for about ten seconds longer but were eventually buried by the crowd.
Alex! hang in there a little longer-ah! Even you!
The fake senior, who was teleporting among his colleagues and brutally ughtering fanatics,mented. If his level had been fine, this wouldnt have happened. He would have been bragging about his skills, betting on who killed more whileughing amicably.
But the reality?
Kyaaaaaah?!
Hero! Save me- Aaaah?!
Kyah~?!
It took only a short time for his harem dressed in costumes to be wiped out, freely revealing their breasts, navels, and thighs that they worked on to impress the hero. Their thin clothes were quickly ripped off and disappeared, and their beautifully grown hair was pulled off from their scalps.
The male colleagues fared no better. Although theysted a little longer, they copsed in front of the violence of numbers. After their armor was removed while being pressed down by the weight of the crowd, they were put in a simr situation. Blood was flowing from their eyes, and their mouths, which were opened with pain, were torn to the cheeks, and most of their teeth were missing.
And kicks poured in from all directions.
They were so ruined that it was difficult to recognize their former appearances. Still, it was thanks to their overwhelmingly high skills that they kept breathing. Now they would be resentful about it, though.
No~! Stay away~!
The fake senior was trying to save them somehow, but I thoroughly blocked his path. His teleportation could no longer be used. The fanatics had destroyed all the magic tools that he gave to his colleagues.
Thud! Boom-!
The dragon and beast, which had endured the longest due to their race, also fell to the ground. Immediately, angry fanatics rushed in like a swarm of ants hunting arge beetle.
Goool~~~?!
Sill~~~?!
They screamed. Although protected by hard scales, there was a lot of ss on the ground. The fanatics picked up sharp and pointed pieces of ss to use as weapons.
Drip, drip
There were no proper handles or gloves, so blood was dripping from their palms, but they stabbed and shed the dragons scales without care.
Pugh! Pugh!
Finally, they were devastated by theirrades weapons. Famous weapons, such as Alexs sword and Aquas spear, shed through their flesh easily. With the end of the two holy beasts, they were virtually wiped out.
What was left?
Green Cake. Think about it carefully. You are a proud green dragon. A human and an angel can never be your parents. And Green Cake! What kind of parent in the world gives their child such a sloppy name?!
The two of them have raised me with love from the moment I first opened my eyes to this day! Although my father is strict, he wants me to be a great dragon. Race doesnt matter. And I like this name!
Green Cake, the blood flowing through your body, resonates deeply with me. Dont you feel that too? And you had an unusual size ever since youre young. It resembles the person I adore.
The reason I am exceptionallyrge is that my father gave me strength while I was still in the egg, and my mothers infinite love and interest have increased the effect, so Im here now. Its not blood or genes.
Green Cake and the Holy Dragon, transformed into human form, were engaged in a battle of words. A cute boy and seductive beauty. Both had green hair and eyes. That sly dragon seemed to want to convince the innocent to betray me and follow their kind, but this highbred hatchling didnt budge.
It was thanks to Saint Hs excellent early education. I shouldpliment her about thister.
A terrible torment to the traitor.
Kaugh?!
Boris held the bloody fake saints heads in her hands. It wasnt a fight at all. The spirit, created bybining two heroes, a prince, and an angel with superior bodies, was exceedingly powerful even though she dropped to Level 1.
Herbat experience was too overwhelming for the saints who had only been watching from the back safely. With that, the divine beings summoned by the fake senior were all dealt with.
Now only he was left.
I cannot forgive you! I cant forgive you!
The fake senior, looking at me with hateful eyes, leaped. He was very fast for a Level 1, and the energy contained in Holy Sword 2 was so dense that it was impossible to ignore it.
But I smiled. After all, it was an opponent that changed emotionally after seeing his colleagues and harem destroyed horribly. His movements were easy to read, like an infants mindset. He was filled with an impatient desire to defeat me quickly and save his colleagues and lovers who might still be alive. His sword path was short and concise.
And here
Drug hero! Dont forget my help!
The First Spirit eximed curiously, no fear of failure in her voice. There was a reason for her confidence.
Passsssh
The power of Brave, amplified by the fake senior through harmonizing the seven energies, covered Holy Sword 2. However, five of them disappeared due to the spirits interference. All that was left was light and darkness.
ng- sh!
The Holy Sword Nucleon shed through the weakened Holy Sword 2, splitting it vertically up to the fake senior. No matter how great a hero he was, he couldnt survive if his body were split in two. Whats more, this hero wasnt real, but a fake. There was no such thing as a drama-like revival of losers, which was amon theme of passionate cartoons.
The Holy Dragon summoned by the hero vanished.
Now, I just need to kill the Great Disaster of the West Continent, and my business here ishuh?
Looking around in anticipation of my dessert, I paused.
This was because there was still a fake colleague surrounded by fanatics who hadnt perished. I was curious to see who it was.
She was a young woman who was still too young to be called ady. However, the fanatics who received Saint Hs orders didnt respect gender, age, or appearance. I could tell just by looking at what happened to the rest of the fake colleagues and harem.
But this woman was fine. All of her clothes were torn off, and only a ck garter belt remained, but there were no scratches on her skin. The woman covered her chest with both arms and spoke with a tremble.
I am a nonbatant. If you have the slightest bit of mercy, please save me as a civilian.
What kind of civilian is a princess?
I was stunned while listening to her. She was far from ordinary in her extraordinary beauty. The woman who shamelessly imed to be a civilian was an imperial princess, the cunning fox of the Holy Empire. But the princess simply didnt admit it.
Princess? Im from a small town in the northwestern part of the Central Continent. I was an ordinary vige girl until I got this garter belt and met the hero.
yeah, maybe.
Her setting may have changed to a princesster. After all, she was too good to be left as a vige girl. But the fact that she was my enemy didnt change.
Srng-
I slowly lifted the Holy Sword Nucleon. I didnt know why the fanatics tore off the princesss clothes and left her intact, but it was a minor issue that I would have to deal with instead.
Then
Slimy-slimy.
It wasnt her breasts that the princess was holding with her arms. They were covered with dirt, so I waste to figure it out. No, because I never thought hed be here.
Why is the great being in the arms of such a shabby girl?
Slimy-slimy.
Master Mon slipped between the arms and the breastbone of the princess, snuggling against her as if to protect her. And seeing that rough dance, I-
ng!
I was feeling dizzy, and the Holy Sword Nucleon slipped from my hand. I feel like I had glimpsed the abyss of the universe through Master Mon. I opened my eyes to the racial characteristic of Universal Humans power to control as little as even a molecule in the universe.
So far, it was good, but the hallucinations beckoning me were palpable. My instincts warned me that it was very dangerous.
Great Master Mon! There areplicated circumstances here! Get me awyer!
I lost my mind after that excuse.
Chapter 184 - [11th Round] This Is Politics!
Chapter 184 - [11th Round] This Is Politics!
?Worried: Cadet Kang Han-soo. Have youe to your senses?
I think so, Miss Trainee Teacher. I thought my adventures and life would end like this, but it seems that my lifeline is longer than I thought.
I looked around in a hurry. Only the First Spirit and her underlings remained to be seen.
Phew!
A deep sigh of relief came out of my mouth.
Master Mon. I thought I became quite strong with the favoritism of the universe, but I was defeated as soon as the great being moved a little. If I describe it as a human, it was only like a nod! I wasnt a match for him at all.
With Master Mons ability, he could easily conquer the gxy with one or two slimy touches, but he lived like an ordinary slime in the arms of a shabby human female, both in the past and the present. It didnt make any sense to me. But there must be some profound reason for this.
I must not be arrogant just because Ive gotten slightly stronger. Ill try to change my attitude and life to be more frugal and humble in the future.
Drug hero. As soon as you copsed, we slew the Phantom King and sent all the ghosts back to the void. Your master too.
I see.
It seemed that I was still alive thanks to the agility of Saint H and those beggars. Lets say thank you separatelyter on. Now was the time for new powers.
Well then
I selected the experiment subject first.
Ah! You seem okay!
? Race: First Spirit
? Level: 1
? Job: Godmother (Child = Dignity)
? Skills: Dignity ZZ Oblivion Z Sleep Z Charm Z
?Status: Addicted, Obsessed
It was a very regrettable spec that didnt live up to the name of the First Spirit. It was typical of an ipetent leader who only gave orders from behind. Of course, it was inferior to mypanions. Therefore
? Race: First Spirit
? Level: 1000
? Job: Godmother (Child = Dignity)
? Skills: Dignity ZZ Hallucination Z Hypnosis Z Seduction Z
? Status: Addicted, Obsessed
I gave it a slight touch. After being imprisoned for a long time, the First Spirits vessel became smaller, but I forcibly expanded it and filled it with experience points. The limit was about a thousand levels. It didnt matter if they were Level 1 or Level 500. Anyone whom I touch would instantly jump to Level 1000.
But the real beauty of this power was the skill. I was a human spirit with infinite possibilities, with the authority to touch that possibility from the universe.
Very slightly.
Drug hero! What have you done to me?!
I just touched my characteristic of fine particles. Thats great! The useless Transcendental skills have turned into great assisting skills.
How is this great?! These are the skills that evil nymphs and witches can use!
Get to work, Drug-Addicted Spirit.
Oooh! This is tyranny!
It couldnt be changed to apletely different skill; I was just changing it to a simr skill range. And I could only change it once.
There were other restrictions, too. Skills rted to race or job were untouchable. It was presumed that this was due to the connection with the soul. However, even with these conditions and restrictions, it was clear that the new power was useful.
Saint H, Green Cake, Boris. The level of three had already surpassed 1,000 a while ago, so it was meaningless. Their skills were also well-bnced, so I had nothing to touch except for one.
Im worried about your Massage Skill
It is necessary for filial piety, Father!
Hmm
He diligently exined the importance and necessity of the Massage skill. He insisted that the reason for raising assisting skills such as massage to the Transcendental realm was for filial piety. In that case, I had no choice but to back down.
? Surprised: I cant believe you can modify the abilityif this fact bes known, there will be a riot!
Miss Trainee Teacher, cant you do that too?
? Negation: If that were possible, we would not have built such an educational facility. Education only increases the efficiency of growth.
It was an understandable exnation. If they could freely adjust their abilities, they wouldnt have gone through the hassle of selecting and educating students.
? P.S.: It is possible to transfer or steal skills and experience from others. There are many ways to do so. Cadet Kang Han-soo, youve experienced it before, right? But I dont strongly rmend this feature. Its because its much stronger to have considerable skills than to give them to one person. Were not emphasizing the power of friendship for nothing!
But I am different. I can turn unnecessary skills into useful ones. If people didnt like their skills, they would most likely try to contact me, just like celebrities looking for stic surgery! I would decide after an interview whether or not to mold their abilities.
Ah! Its free for Miss Trainee Teacher.
? Sulking: Cadet Kang Han-soo, I appreciate the gesture, but I cant ept this. Im not dissatisfied with my current appearance and skillposition.
Thisdy is quite an iron wall! It is more and more likely that youre an old man.
? Abrupt: No! How could you interpret it that way?! I cant show my face without a special reason due to the staff policy, but I was popr during my school days! Of course, even now! Many people cant forget me and regrly ask me if I am married!
Its okay, my friend, I understand.
But at this rate, Im growing afraid that Ill suffer all day, so lets pretend that shes a pretty girl at the peak of poprity for now.
Lets see if it has been taken care of.
The Phantom King Shakespeare didnt die easily, as he could steal other peoples bodies. It was said that he could take away the body. But if you look at it, he could also take their skills and level intact. Seeing that he couldnt be stronger indefinitely with this ability, it was clear there were some unknown limitations.
The entrance exam center was also refreshed while I fainted.
? The disaster of the Eastern Continent: Subjugation of the Curse King Malfart (0/1)
? The disaster of the North Continent: Subjugation of the Frost Queen Elsh (0/1)
? The disaster of the Southern Continent: Subjugation of the me King Phoenix (0/1)
?The disaster of the Western Continent: Subjugation of the Phantom King Shakespeare (1/1)
?The disaster of the Central Continent: Subjugation of the Dragon King Noebius (0/1)
The death of the Phantom King Shakespeare seemed certain. I didnt see it because I fainted, but he got a joint attack from a Level G Saint and a Level ZZZ Exorcist.
Hmmits a bit awkward to leave like this
Im a MAX-ss hero who cleans up his mess. I am different from FFF-ss heroes who help only a few people they want to save and end up causing more trouble while drunk with self-satisfaction.
With the death of the vampire ruler, the western and central parts of the Western Continent were devastated. I had to solve these two problems. Thetter wasnt because of me, but because of the chairman of the universe. Still, Im only a lowly citizen who doesnt have enough arrogance to nitpick about it.
Thats a nice way to say it. Lowly citizen. If I, who was truly educated by Master Mon, who lives buried in the humble ash, am not a lowly citizen, who would be? This isnt humility. Its a stark reality.
I am such a weak underdog.
? Confused: Dont you think you are too self-deprecating? If Cadet Kang Han-soo is a lowly citizen, then almost all cadets should be ssified as nkton.
Miss Trainee Teachers support always bes my source of strength. Just as the homeroom teacher offers a difficult task to a student who isnt good at studying, pretending tofort him by saying, You can seed if you have willpower!
Shall I start with a new ruler?
In the 1st ythrough, my colleagues and I celebrated with the vampires for a whopping ten days after defeating the Phantom King Shakespeare. They would have yed and drunk longer if I hadnt poured cold water on them, insisting that they should quickly choose a new leader.
Of course, my argument wasnt epted. And about a yearter, I visited the Western Continent to return the belongings of the Dark Princess, the daughter of the Phantom King Shakespeare, the herosrade, to her hometown.
The ce was in chaos. Liberated and freed from the tyrannys domination, vampires hunted humans and raised them like livestock. How about equal coexistence with humans? Feeling threatened by the fact that very few vampires refused to do so, the rest of them began hunting humans as well. The results were truly disastrous.
So the drug hero looks back during the adventure, huh?
Sort of.
If the first guy were like you, he wouldnt be as crooked as he is now. That guy was so simple-minded. After all, he firmly believed that if he married women of all countries and powers, the world would be semi-permanently peaceful because all of them were bound by a family fence.
Was the reality the other way around?
Yes. Although it seemed peaceful on the outside, the fierce battles continued as they avoided or deceived the eyes and ears of the First Hero. I gave him some advice, but he couldnt ovee the tears of his wives.
We headed to the vampire city while cursing that senior. The order of the visit had beenpletely reversed since Shakespeare of the Five Great Disasters was eliminated first without begging for their cooperation.
Conversely, I thought that this was the real fight from now on. Whether one won or lost, many widows and orphans were produced after the war. The only monarch that would remain sitting on their throne was a war fanatic and a moron. Their poption was their power. In a savage Fantasy World, one or two powerful heroes determined the oue of a war, but they didnt fall from the sky.
There was a very low chance that they were born, just like any other, a good prenatal education could increase this chance. The royal family and nobility were typical examples of this. However, in general, rather than increasing this chance, increasing the number of potential cases was chosen instead. In other words, it was to increase the poption by encouraging childbirth.
Widows were encouraged to remarry, and the state took responsibility for raising children who have lost their parents until they reached adulthood. But this wasnt as easy as it sounded.
The bad memories keeping back to me
Tell me, drug hero. Perhaps the wisest and the earliest First Spirit in the world can give you some advice.
Do you know a bit about human politics and management?
I just want to leave it to her if she knew it.
If you think such a small matter is of concern to the worlds noblest spirit, it is a great mistake.
Lets not talk.
It was so easy to have a child. Assuming that 20% of the total poption could give birth, it was calcted that if a child were born every year, the poption would double every five years on average, even if natural deaths were taken into ount. Withpounded interest!
But this was just a theory. Raising a child wasnt easy. Housing, environment, education, food, welfare, leisure,bor, crime, ident, warthere are countless processes and variables involved for a person to grow up. That was why the politics and management of this were also difficult.
I went through countless trials and errors in the 1st ythrough. What kind of politics did a high school student know? Ive learned a little, but its a load of bullsh*t with the theories of the very few ruling ss and hopeful dreamers.
The reality wasnt close. Of course, now I havee up with the correct answer.
Bang!
I lightly kicked down the tightly closed front door of Colony A, thergest vampire city in the Western Continent. Because the Western Continent had no daylight, the vampires werent limited by time on when they could be out, but they surrounded the city with a wall, and the main gate was almost always closed. A vampires wings werent only for decoration.
The door that the monsters might use was almost always closed, and they flew over the wall with their wings instead. The citys main gates were only open for events like the Triumphal Ceremony.
Just like right now. A weing crowd to congratte me on my triumph came flocking like flies.
Its an intruder!
How dare a human-like you?!
Who are you?!
The boundaries were very loose due to their pride as being the strongest race in the Western Continent. However, the vampires living in Colony A gathered around instantly, all the soldiers and civilians.
Even that kid selling pretty moss was a vampire, so one had to be careful.
However
Hiplia.
You poor cursed servants. Kneel before my dear master.
The words of a Level G Saint were more fatal to the vampires than sunlight. It was nothing different than Godsmand.
Kuuugh?!
Kyah?!
Aaargh!?
The vampires copsed like dominos around Saint H, and even the flying ones were no exception. I spoke to them now that they were ready to obey.
Ill be straight with you. I am the hero who hunted the Phantom King. If you dont want to be annihted, bring the Dark Princess to me- Ah! There you are? You should have told me earlier, why do you embarrass people like that? Anyway, Ill take over this city starting today. If you have anyints, raise your head, so I know that you want to sunbathe and speak.
Vampire fellows, lets enjoy the ultimate politics with the know-how of a veteran who has been around for decades!
Chapter 185 - [11th Round] Settlement
Chapter 185 - [11th Round] Settlement
Lord Shakespeare is dead?
He lost to a human?
But werent the heroes very weak?
The vampires were thrown into chaos by my remarks that I had already beaten him. It made sense, as the heroes they knew were very weak. Over the past three years, the heroes had be strong enough to defeat orcs alone, but in terms of the entire food chain of the Fantasy Continent, they were still near the bottom.
So, it was natural for vampires to think this way. I dont know about Earths native vampires that seem to have gone extinct due to reckless hunting, but the vampires living here were a race that could live forever by taking the lives of others through blood. A long lifespan served as a huge advantage.

Regardless of their job, long-lived vampires had universally high levels andbat skills. This was because battle couldnt be avoided in the process of drinking blood. After all, they werent receiving a blood transfusion like on Earth but extorting blood from the living. In other words, vampires were destined to be proportionate in age and ability, whether they liked it or not.
Give me proof that you murdered my father.
It was no different for vampires to act superior to their peers if they had natural talent. I said that I would make them sunbathe if theyined, but this vampire wasnt afraid of sunlight.
Dark Princess. Pure white skin and purple lips like she was wearing heavy makeup. Her ck hair contrasted against pearly white skin and red eyes that looked like they might emit aser beam at any time. All of it was apanied by a princess-like innocence. I wonder if she was chosen by the Phantom King Shakespeare solely for her looks.
However, vampire families were already messed up as they didnt attach much importance to lineage or birth order. Parents could live longer than their children if they drank blood diligently. So there was no concept of generation at all. Children were treated as a product of chance born through contraceptive failure.
Even after living a thousand years, elves became friends with their biological parents. However, vampires treat blood rtives as strangers. Rife withpetition, marriage, childbirth, domination, murderthat is why family breakdowns were verymon. This beautiful vampire was no exception.
Proof? My strength is the proof. You must have known that the western and central regions were smashed, right?
Hmm
She hated the Phantom King Shakespeare. The biggest reason was physical humiliation. For Shakespeare, who lived in the flesh of others, his daughter was functionally someone elses child. He was the front runner when it came to broken families.
Driven by her grudges and talent, she acquired strong power at a young age, all to kill her biological father.
If you dont believe me, bring it on.
Thats what I was going to do!
The Dark Princess, throwing off her innocent mask, straightened her knees and leaped at me. It was the same the first time we met. She pretended to be an innocent princess upon seeing the heros party, but as soon as she judged that she could trust them, she revealed her vampire-like true nature. If the unfortunate elves universally held Spirit and Archery skills, vampires were always born with Bloodsucking and Blood Energy skills.
The red wings that sprouted from her back were also made of blood, but they shouldnt be ignored. This is the reason why vampires, who were not physically different from humans except for their pale skin and purple lips, were able to reign as the strongest race in the Western Continent. They were named vampire wings for conveniences sake, but they were weapons formed from the Blood Energy skill, summoned straight from their bone marrow.
They werent limited by shape, and the wounds caused by the skill didnt heal naturally.
After all, shes easy to understand.
Even in the first go-around, that confidence and aggression took the Dark Princesss life. Maybe it was ultimately because I didnt stop her, though. I smiled as I confronted her.
p
My weapon was the wings of the righteous hero. It couldnt change shape as freely as vampire wings, but they were perfect in form, which resembled the leaves of the carnivorous fly-eating nt.
Was he not a hero, but the legendary Demon King?
Isnt that too rude?
The numerous horns that sprouted like thorns on the wings of the righteous hero bristled before shooting out.
Humph!
The Dark Princess, with a cheeky snort, transformed her right-wing into a tentacle and set fire to it while her left-wing spread like a lotus petal to protect her body. A basic fighting style for vampires. However, it was also a tricky tactic that couldnt be easily stopped even with prior knowledge.
sh~
Her right-wing, squirming like a tentacle, dug into my chest. I didnt avoid it.
Ssh
After all, there was no need for that. Before it touched my body, the right-wing created by the Dark Princess scattered like normal blood, its power lost.
Huh?
Her red eyes shot open. Her face, mesmerized by the unexpected situation, was very simr to her expression in the 1st ythrough, full of the question of Am I going to die? So vainly like this? just right before she died.
Ill let that face off the hook this time.
I liked the stupid look on her face.
Pugh! Pugh! Pugh! Pugh!
The countless horns that sprouted from my wings were savagely stuck in her pretty body. Her vampire wing formed like a shield didnt even slow them down. It became ordinary blood as soon as they hit it.
H-howe?
Are you stupid? A scoundrel who cant fight high-mindedly by summoning many ghosts like you is much weaker than Shakespeare, and I am purely stronger than Shakespeare. Its natural for me to win, right?
Dont pretend to be stupid! I am asking what did you do to my wings- cough, cough!
The Dark Princess, who had been screaming with her purple lips wide open, was now coughing up blood.
Dont get carried away. Youre still anemic, arent you?
For me, the ability to deal with fine particles was only a sign that I was about to move on to the next level. I realized it while receiving a true education from the great Master Mon. The principle of the next level was extremely simple: skill nullification. Removing all kinds of skill effects that physically contacted me.
Ironically, the fantasy ability that I feared most came to me. After all, vampire wings without Blood Energys effect were nothing more dangerous than normal blood. Vampires who couldnt recover their blood would only suffer from anemia.
I decided to stop her bleeding, now that her skin was turning blue and her whole body was trembling. Sigh! What a meddlesome guy
Self-proimed hero! What despicable method - Eump?!
I covered her lips so that she wouldnt vomit any more of her precious blood. I carefully wiped her tongue, which was dirty with refluxed gastric juice and blood, and generously poured my saliva down her throat to replenish herck of fluids.
All of these things, free! Free! Interfering to help even the woman who attacked me must be an upational disease from my severeck of days off, despite working for decades straight. However, despite my efforts, the Dark Princesss condition hadnt improved.
Her bleeding mouth was blocked with first aid, but it was because there were already too many holes in her torso. Blood Energy, the skill of Dark Princess, was sealed as she was in full contact with me. It would be nice to seal all her skills, but her ability itself was only the one.
It didnt matter, though. A vampires greatest weapon was blood. Left unable to handle blood, she was simply a high-level human woman.
? Race: Arch Vampire

What I paid attention to was the Sanction in her status. I had seen it more than once in my long career. It meant punishing those who broke thew. This status, which came out as soon as Dark Princesss Blood Energy Skill was sealed, suggested a lot.
Abilities withdrawal. It wasnt just simply groundless conjecture. The Fantasy God developed the abilities with that in mind.
Kyaaaaaaah?!
As soon as I instinctively pulled out the wing ced between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, she let out a tearing scream. My old intuition was telling me her spine waspletely severed.
Thud!
I put my left hand on her back, which had a hole in it, for first aid. And I grabbed the broken 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. If she were a normal human, she would be dead, but a vampire who could live without a heart as long as there wasnt excessive bleeding should just be fine.
Drip
Liquid, not blood, dripped from the Dark Princesss undergarment, but I pretended not to know to protect her pride and dignity. With the intention of reassurance, I smiled at the vampire with the righteous heros smile. The angels clothes changed after thest battle was now soaked in her blood, so the visuals were a bit weird, but peoples hearts were more important than their looks.
I said while hugging the Dark Princesss spine warmly.
You see? This hero doesnt even hurt a hostile vampire. So, please feel free to engage in your business. And I respect your free will. If you dont like me, visit me anytime with your friends. Ill be waiting while treating the princess at the central city hall.
Unfortunately, no one came right away. There was nothing like receivingints about the situation in the city, and even the mayor, who looked bewitching from head to toe, didnt even give a pint to the stranger who had tenderly gripped her daughters spine.
As expected from the vampires, huh? The beautiful mayors concern wasnt her daughter suffering from anemia but the life and death of her husband.
Is that monster dead?
However, it wasnt a question apanied by a worried tone or expression. They were the most messed-up family in the Western Continent. Compared to them, the seniors harem was doing just fine.
Surely.
Aah! Thank you! The legendary hero has fulfilled my long-cherished desire! Stay as long as you want. I would also like to express my gratitude to the hero, not just with words.
Saying so, the mayor who approached me lifted her ws and licked her daughters blood off my neck and ears, bewitchingly. As the only gentleman in the Fantasy dimension, I politely answered.
The mayors beautiful gratitude touches my heart. But today, I will only ept your heart. I have a pre-appointment with your daughter, whom you raised hard.
Hero, your hard works and heart make me even more anxious. Ill get you some water to wash and a servant for you. Make yourself feel at home.
With a soft smile for me, the mayor gave instructions to a vampire who seemed to be her secretary and then left, shaking her pelvis from side to side. The Dark Princesss charming waist seemed to have been inherited from her mother.
Drug hero, this vampire family is strange to me as a spirit.
The daughter can hear you, dont be rude. Youre such a slow-witted spirit.
Thats rude. Do you think I cant hear it?
The wounds inflicted by the wings of the righteous hero who judges evil didnt heal easily. For that reason, there was no sign of re-attachment even though I grabbed and fixed Dark Princesss spine on the way here.
Tsk. I failed to control my power. It isnt like me.
The trouble was that after unintentionallying at him and being educated by the great Master Mon, I was careless with my abilities.
I also learned physical modification from him. Of course, it was natural that the wings derived from me then would also evolve, but I overlooked that fact. The upgraded wings were powerful. Thus the attack, which would have ended with a herniated disc in the past,pletely shattered the target. It wasnt yetparable to the Holy Sword Nucleon, but it wouldnt be long before it could surpass it if it evolved steadily like now.
A demon more evil than my fatheruh
People can make mistakes in their lives. Ill take care of your back and fix it for you, so lets get along.
I nned to appoint Dark Princess as the ruler of the Western Continent afterpleting her mental education. However, if her back was so bad, she couldnt be entrusted with an office job that inevitably required her to sit for a long time in a chair.
This wasnt good.
Hero. The water for washing is ready. Are youare you going in with me?
The human maid, whom the vampires treat as food and ves, asked me carefully. I answered, pulling Dark Princesss spine closer to my side as a gesture of familiarity.
Isnt it obvious? Cant you see?
Her spine wouldntst a moment if I didnt hold her.
M-my apologies!
There were some mistakes, but fortunately, the mayor of Colony A was very cooperative with me. Why dont I just give up on Dark Princess, wholl need rehabilitation, and make her mother do it?
It wasnt as bad as I thought. Maybe the settlement in the Western Continent would bepleted sooner than I expected.
Chapter 186 - [11th Round] Dark, Dark, Dark…
Chapter 186 - [11th Round] Dark, Dark, Dark
I spent the whole day with the Dark Princess. There was a way to heal her quickly with the power of the saint, but if the process became too easy, I couldnt get close to her.
This wasnt my guess, but the conclusion I came to after looking at the fantasy natives from the 1st ythrough. If you treat a sick person in a sh, it would be over with the phrase thank you, but if you work hard to find a cure, youll even be served a meal.
I applied that logic to the Dark Princess. Eating, bathing, sleeping, going to thevatory, taking a walkit was very cumbersome, but the effect was certain. Impressed by my genuine care, the Dark Princess began to obey me two days after her spine was attached. With an expression as if her soul had evaporated.
You did well, Dark Princess.
My father, who was released a week after being taken to the hospital by an ambnce at dawn because of a herniated disc, had the same look.
Princess, what? I dont deserve it. I am just a vampire following you, who is greater than my father! So please dont worry about me.
The Dark Princess added the virtue of humility to this. I decided to actively support the princess, who became a properdy in body and mind. Of course, that basic policy was what I nned to establish.
With the death of the Phantom King Shakespeare, thisnd has be awless zone. I have to leave for another continent soon. Do you understand whats going on?
I understand that you are leaving soon.
The Dark Princesss expression brightened noticeably. As a way of thanking me for helping like a pushover, she had been working her ass off to serve me meals. However, it was simr to a house owner who took care of the hero and paid for the meals by themselves.
The Western Continent isnt my specialty. I think you, who were born on thisnd and lived here for 576 years-
How can you know my age that no one knows except my mother?!
Dont interrupt me.
I-Im sorry! Please have mercy!
Listen quietly. The native Dark Princess knows a lot more about the Western Continent than I do. Youre even stronger than any other vampire living on the Western Continent. There is only one thing to keep in mind: do not persecute humans, a race higher than vampires. If you keep thatw, there will be no troublesome bloodshed to prompt my return to the Western Continent. Do you understand?
I understand perfectly.
A great monarch wasnt necessarily a good fighter. In fantasy novels, the main character, the lord or the son of the lord, overthrows the monarch by force and bes the king. Even if we look back at history, the powerful people covered a coup dtat with the banner of revolution to take away the throne.
But the virtue of a monarch wasnt in force. It was about identifying peoples abilities and putting them in the right ce. It would be even better if you could understand human nature. As a bonus
Ill put a watchman here to see if you are good at it.
Who is it?
Do you think I will tell you? Ah! By the way, its not your mother. She is not on good terms with you, so she cant look at you objectively.
Any questions?
No.
In anynd where the five powers existed, spirits existed there as well. Of course, there were plenty in the Western Continent as well. Enough to molest me by sticking even one cheek to my body, the spirits did basic, odd jobs and information gathering for me.
Watchman? There was no such cumbersome position. If I appoint a spirit to be a watchman, I would have to appoint another watchman to watch over it. However, the Dark Princess, unaware of this fact, would restrain herself.
Trinity politics, in which the three rulers keep each other in check and sometimes cooperated, was also good, but the three of them could unite to deceive my eyes and ears. In that case, the spirits were better. These drug-addicted guys were unlikely to betray me, and the fierce battles andpetitions to cling to my body were terrifying.
In other words, they were perfect as watchmen.
Then, we will start cleaning from now on.
Although he was a tyrant, the Phantom King Shakespeare also had followers. Not all his wives hated their husbands like the mayor of Colony A. I didnt question them. They didnt even get awyer or a day to stand in court.
How dare a hero!
Sa-save me!
I didnt do anything?!
Why would a hero do such brutalities!
I thinned out the vampires with any potential for betrayal based on my experience volunteering for the vampires before. In the process, some of them shouted, I got caught, huh? and fought. However, many people gave up andined about the injustice. Its not that I didnt understand. They made a usible n in their head without even implementing it, but the hero used the n in their head as an excuse to punish them.
It was something crazy and insane. The card they pulled out in front of me was me being a hero. They immediately recognized that I was a fair and righteous hero and appealed to my conscience and mercy. It was wrong to say that I executed them as soon as I met them. Each time, I answered honestly while squeezing their blood out.
You may resent the Fantasy God who showed me the future.
I wouldnt have been able to do it this boldly if I hadnt remembered the 1st ythrough. After all, there werent just one or two vampires pretending to be pitiful by creating a family that didnt exist to bring out mypassion.
However, there was a hit list in my head. Of course, there might have been one or two people who suffered unfairness among them. There must have been cowards who were forced to follow because they were afraid of the Phantom King Shakespeare. But Im not God.
What if I really could decide the details of right and wrong? I must firstmit suicide before punishing others. How many innocent grass bugs died in the aftermath of thest battle, after all?
Dark Princess, do you have anyints?
No! Not even a bit!
The cleaning waspleted in half a day. It would have been difficult if the vampires had been scattered throughout the Western Continent. Still, the travel time didnt take very long because the vampire cities were concentrated in the central region of thend where the light-eating Lucifer was most prevalent.
Many vampires died at my hands. However, their death would make both humans and vampires happier. This wasnt self-satisfaction. If I had been selfish, I would have given light to the Western Continent by annihting the Lucifers that filled the sky.
The only ones who benefited from Lucifer were the vampires afraid of sunlight. As a righteous and fair hero, I left an environment where even vampires could live in the savage Fantasy Continent. And yet, they were chirping without knowing how to say thank you
? Sniff: It must be frustrating, but not everyone knows the deep heart of Cadet Kang Han-soo. Sniff! Your sublime heart aroused my tears.
Even if its just words, thank you, Miss Trainee Teacher!
Not all vampires were like that, but some had locked up humans underground and raised them like livestock. Women constantly give birth to children devoured, and men who sow seeds like beasts dig a little every day to make space for future children, continuously from generation to generation. The Fantasy World without flush toilets was hell itself, and there were even more hells lurking within.
These underground humans lived by eating Lucifers thrown to them by vampires, with human blood as the price for their meals. They were humans who didnt know shame, let alone the concept of clothes, as they washed their bodies with groundwater and took turns offering blood.
What were the expressions on their faces when they were freed?
Aah
How should I, how
Lucifer fills the sky
These humans had always suffered from hunger and ate every single piece of Lucifer, from their hard legs to even their hair. They were amazed at the vast sky they saw instead of the uneasy ceiling that looked ready to fall and was at a loss for words when they saw the many Lucifers that covered it.
How would I exin it from the perspective of an ordinary citizen? It felt like identally watching a documentary stating that the universe was full of diamonds the size ofs after saving up money for ten years to buy diamonds the size of fly dung.
? Question: I cant quite rte this time. I understand the sparkle of diamonds is so good but isnt it amon mineral? Why do you have to save money for ten years?
A spacemans point of view is so different! Ill change the example so that even Miss Trainee Teacher can understand it. Imagine, after waiting 50,000 years, you were happy to find a pushover hero who would fight for you. But only to hearter that there were hundreds of other pushover heroes in the dimension.
?Laugh: But there was only one true hero that was found in the first ce. So, this slenderdy wasnt disappointed at all.
That slenderdy must have been so lucky!
Hero? If you stop suddenly, I will have a hard time waiting.
Ah, Im sorry.
The mayor of Colony A, who was lying on the bed and leaving everything of herself to me, whispered to me in a sullen tone. How could I talk with a woman with my body and with another woman with my soul?
My body was still hot, but I felt cold because my unconscious actions seemed tainted by the savage fantasy natives. Today was myst day on the Western Continent. Just a few hours ago, I had broken the spines of several evil vampires, and after that, I was tormenting the spines of the most beautiful vampires in the Western Continent.
Wasnt it okay to call it a sessful end? Imended myself on a productive day.
Bang!
epting the mayors desperate request, I started to move again, but the bedroom door opened violently. A cool breeze from outside blew into the muggy room. The expression on the uninvited guest was like ice.
Dark Princess, whats going on?
The heroes have invaded the city with the Death Knight. No, the other way around. The Death Knight leads the heroes like soldiers.
What the
I set the mayor aside. I thought that if only the vampires, the strongest race in the Western Continent, were subdued, the Western Continents stabilization would be resolved naturally. But that was my misjudgment.
The Western Continent is wide and held so many strong people. Some guardians had powerparable to the Five Great Disasters, and there were six talented people recruited aspanions in the 1st ythrough like the Dark Princess. Dark Princess, Dark Bandit, Dark Priest, Dark Knight, Dark Lord C, Dark Lord D.
? Scold: The names are so pathetic
Although they were nicknames I gave them for convenience, these were the strong people who made names for themselves in the Western Continent, each with a great false name.
Death Knight. It was another name for the Dark Knight. After being killed by the Phantom King Shakespeare, the Wind Knight, who was on a reconnaissance mission to the West Continent, was revived as a ve. However, he overcame the reign of the Phantom King with his high mental power and escaped.
When he took off his thick armor, he looked like an ordinary elf, but he was little more than an animated body. He wore thick armor because he couldnt heal wounds on his own. Still, he was strong.
Its strange. To him, I must be the benefactor who took his revenge.
The news that I had in the Phantom King Shakespeare spread to the depths of the Western Continent. But an invasion into the vampire city where I was currently living? I called out to the Dark Princess, who engaged in a staring contest with her mother.
Are you sure its an invasion?
What? Yes, Im sure. Arrows shot by the Death Knight knocked down five guards, and many of the corpses caring for the fields were damaged by the heroes.
The Dark Knight that I remembered was extremely neutral toward the vampires brutalities. For an elf, human misfortune was someone elses business. But invading here? It didnt happen before.
Although the time they spent together was short, the rtionship between the Dark Princess and the Dark Knight wasnt bad.
Ill find out when I get there.
I got up from the bed and spread my arms left and right. Originally, the maid would do it, and then the mayor would do it until tomorrow morning. But what could I do since something came up out of the blue?
I needed to borrow the spirits arms as soon as possible.
I am not your maid! Howe you treat the First Spirit
If you dont like it, move out.
I didnt say I wouldnt do it, though! Mean drug hero!
The spirits put the angel clothing on me; then, I headed out of the city hall. Outside, I could see that the vampires already surrounded the knight. As a bonus, I could even see some familiar heroes.
We wee you to Colony A with lies, Death Knight. Did youe to die twice?
The cost of interfering with the fair social welfare activities of this MAX-ss hero who not only favored virgins but alsoforted widows was very expensive.
Chapter 187 - [11th Round] Take Care of The Western Continent!
Chapter 187 - [11th Round] Take Care of The Western Continent!
One humiliating death is enough!
The Dark Knight, who responded to me with an icy eerie voice, quickly pulled back his bowstring. It looked bizarre to choose a ranged attack while wearing that heavy armor thatpletely protected his body but considering the penalty of not healing wounds, that choice was natural.
Unfortunately
Get to work, Wind.
I gracefully called out to the Wind Spirit, who was shoved into my armpit and sniffing. Then, the spirit straightened its crooked crown and gave instructions to the children who attended it, nodding along. The scene of a terrible ss society! There was no virtue like leading by example.
Wheeeeeng~~ Thud.
The arrow shot by Dark Knight lost its power and fell to the ground. It didnt matter how fast or powerful the arrow was. If the Wind Spirits decided to interfere, it would be blocked by air resistance.
Also, even if it wasnt
Crunch.
I was protected by the energy of the universe. It was a very small sound, but I could hear it clearly in my ears, which were developed enough to hear and judge even the slightest movement of muscles. It was the peculiar sound of bone breaking.
!
The majestic Dark Knight let out a faint scream from the inside of his helmet. The high level of abilities based on archery was also meaningless. No matter how wealthy or high-ranked you are, you couldnt walk freely if you hurt your back. The Dark Knight grabbed his waist and sat down. Even the high-quality bow, which seemed never to leave his hand, fell to the ground as if it had been thrown away in vain.
sh!
The bow that fell to the ground was stolen by the Earth Spirit, who monopolized the right side of my groin and fought with the Fire Spirit, who lived on the left side every day. It seemed that it wanted apliment or a reward, huh?
If I kick out the Fire Spirit who did nothing today-
Whoosh!
Before I could finish the thought, the Fire Spirit went to work. The arrows made of very precious wood were burned. A momentter, the fire engulfed the Dark Knights cloak.
Drug hero, nature is great!
The First Spirit did nothing except lie bored over my head and act all smug as if they were all her doings. A servant was only as honest as their master. This showed who the spirits of the Fantasy Continent resembled.
Death Knight?!
Ugh! The strongest knight on the Western Continent!
What kind of harmony is this?!
The heroes who followed the Dark Knight, like chicks chasing the hen, became restless. They were still at the level where they had to fight the orcs. I didnt know about the corpses working in the fields, but the vampires still were high hurdles for them.
They wouldnt havee this far if it werent for the Dark Knight.
It seems you have grown over the past three years, huh?
But Im a merciful MAX-ss hero. I dont take precious lives easily. I smiled the righteous heros smile as a sign of reassurance to those who trembled in fear.
Kugh-
Ugh-
Damn it! Ugh-
But I guess I underestimated them. They rummaged through their pockets, pulling out pills that were supposed to be a poison that they put into their mouths, and then copsed one after another.
Hey, these guys are funny. They take deadly drugs like their sleeping pills.
I, who was going to stretch their sphincters, stopped my leisurely approach and burst outughing. But I paid tribute to their judgment. In this entrance exam center, you would be resurrected even if you die. That was why the heroes made this bold decision: if you fail, kill yourself!
It seemed that it wasnt just new abilities that they had umted over the past three years.
? Depression: Its not a privilege to belittle ones life like a role-ying game
Thats why policies are difficult, Miss Trainee Teacher. No matter how good the intention and purpose, there are bound to be people who cleverly abuse it.
Its too much in front of a dead body who refuses the holy fire.
I approached the Dark Knight, who was still grabbing his waist. Now that I have touched quite a few spines, I could diagnose the condition right away by listening to the sound. Although his waist was slightly twisted, it wasnt to the extent that he couldnt move at all.
Did he exaggerate it? He didnt.
Slimy, slimy~
The Water Spirit living in my armpit was holding the Dark Knights ankles down with sticky mud. The Dark Knight, who was still wearing heavy armor, was buried underground little by little like a water buffalo stuck in a swamp.
I feel like Im doing everything without effort these days.
I won without lifting even a single finger. There seemed to be so many unfortunate beings in this fantasy world who suffered an injury just by breathing.
I dont even want to ask why you attacked me for killing your enemy.
He must have a good reason! If the Dark Knight were an equal or superior opponent to me, I would have tried converting to find it out, but it was already over.
I just wanted to confirm! I wondered if that weak hero killed Shakespeare, my enemy!
Right. Have you checked it out? Then, just go to nirvana!
Hearing the reason, I unintentionally kicked Dark Knights head, which had been buried up to his shoulders, with all my might.
Thud-!
Elves never cover their faces except when they need to hide their long ears to naturally permeate human society. However, the Dark Knight wore a hard helmet at all times. Thanks to that, his head didnt burst like a watermelon. Instead, the part between Dark knights 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae that were caught by my kick were separated, and his slender neck was torn off.
In that state, the head with the helmet flew off like a golf ball.
Hero, nice shot! What are you doing? Why dont you give me apuse?
What? Right!
p!
p, p, p!
The vampires who didnt know golf, aprehensive sport thatbined business and sports into one, started pping their hands with clumsy smiles. I was embarrassed because it seemed like I was imitating an adult for nothing. However, ording to the resident registration of the Earth, I was still in my mid-20s, while in the Fantasy Continent, I was a grandfather who had passed into his 60s.
Now that I look at it, Im pretty old too, right?
Damn bastards.
This was why I hated my colleagues from the 1st ythrough. When I was still a young and ignorant man, there were a lot of people who blindly stabbed and punched me upon first meeting to see the skills of the famous hero. I was so startled by the vicious principle of action, a big hole was pierced in my fragile heart, and sometimes I was seriously injured.
Even so, they came in as colleagues as if they were generous. Even if I refused, they shamelessly settled down, telling me not to refuse. This is a crime. A murder attempt!
If the hero is weaker than expected, they will kill him, and if the hero is strong, they will jump on board as allies of the hero and take advantage of them. I hadnt yet forgiven them, but my existing colleagues actively supported and forgave them as they pleased.
While saying that, they were also the same.
? Depression: I wanted to say that friendship and love were built up while fighting, but I dont think thats the case. Cadet Kang Han-soo, you must have had a hard time
Miss Trainee Teacher, youve been watching from the beginning, havent you?
? Affirmation: Yes. I couldnt sleep at all at night and watched everything because of Cadet Kang Han-soos behavior.
Does it seem there is another meaning in your words, though?! Miss Trainee Teacher, you dont have to go into so much detail. Anyway, will this situation of punishing an attempted murderer adversely affect my reputation or personality?
? Worried: Well. Since love and friendship are the primary virtues in the elementary education curriculum, the reverse direction of killing a colleague cannot be evaluated well, no matter how well-founded it may be. However, the evaluation criteria are different here because its the entrance exam for the secondary education center.
Miss Trainee Teacher told me something interesting. Elementary, middle, higheach curriculum had different evaluation criteria. If an elementary school student answered the question a certain way, it would be treated as an incorrect answer. Did you make a fool of a quick-witted student?
? Apologize: Im sorry. As I told you before, I specialized in elementary education. Theres still a lot I dont know about secondary education. I passed the entrance exam without thinking about it. At that time, I didnt even have the dream of bing a great teacher.
Miss Trainee Teacher, cheer up! This strong friend and MAX-ss hero will support you!
Tsk. My mind was blown away by the damn corpse. Dark Princess, please take care of the Western Continent from now on. If we meet again, one of the two people will say goodbye forever.
I will keep that in mind!
I ran out whileforting the lonely widow. Going back to y a second-round didnt look good for me.
Flutter!
I flew into the sky with the wings of the righteous hero that boasted more beauty than any vampire.
This was the central part of the Western Continent. In terms of distance, the Northern and Southern continents were simr.
Its still too early for the Central Continent.
I still felt anxious to fight my dear friend Dragon King Noebius. That dragon was stronger than the other Five Great Disastersbined. But what would happen if I unsealed the Brave ability and transformed him into a human-like dragonian? Hisbat power couldnt be predicted at all. It wouldnt be surprising if the were destroyed with one blow of his fist.
Therefore, the Central Continent would be saved forst. The choice was very important now, whether to turn clockwise around the continents starting with the Western and eventually go to the Central Continent or go counterclockwise. In the clockwise direction, it would be the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent if I went counterclockwise.

If I go to the Northern Continent, I would have to fight a half-human half-bird monster, equipped with a harem of males with skills simr to those of the Ice Princess. However, if I go to the Southern Continent, I need to go against a huge giant who regardsva as a mere hot spring. In the end, I have to turn around, but
? Suggestion: How about the North Continent? I was able to look into it because the senior gave me a hint. It has been confirmed that Kang Han-soos son was born safely in the North Continent. I dont know how hes doing because the Sword Princesss family hid his identity. After all, Cadet Sieg and Cadet Luke, who Im in charge of, are in the Eastern and Southern Continents.
When I was three years old, I had a son with the Sword Princess. My mind had passed the age of seventy and was about to reach eighty, but I was reminded of the shocking fact that my son and I were only three years apart in physical ageI fell into conflict.
My son, huh?
North and south. I stopped flying and stood at a crossroads inside my mind in the endless sky, calmly looking up. I intended to think while counting even the stars that were hard to see in my beautiful hometown, which was filled with smog to the point of suffocating.
However
Ruru~a??
Ruru~?
Ruru~?
The superrge fly Lucifer, which could be seen everywhere in the Western Continent, covered the sky, so not even the moon or the sun could be seen, let alone the stars. Those bugs were blocking the space between me and the universe.
sh!
As soon as myint was over, a signal came from the universe. A special light apanied by a rainbow-colored aurora simr to Master Mons royal body hit the entire Western Continent like an ultraviolet sterilizer.
Ruru~?!
Ruru~?!
The Lucifer, that lived off of the sunshine, cried out loudly and began to crash one after another. Until theypletely covered the ground.
And the Western Continent sky was revealed without Lucifer. Even at night, it was very bright with the stars of the Milky Way. How would the vampires?
Lets not think about it.
Yeah! Shall I go from the Southern Continent? Lets go~!
It was not because I had an ominous feeling that the Northern Continent would disappear due to someones jealousy if I met my son without any countermeasures. I didnt see anything.
Anyway, I didnt. May his protection be with the vampires who have lost their homes. Mon.
Chapter 188 - [11th Round] Take Care of The Western Continent!
Chapter 188 - [11th Round] Take Care of The Western Continent!
Its been a while since Ive felt this heat.
Unintentionally watching the stars in the Western Continent of Fantasy, I wandered across the Southern Continent and soon faced the hot sun. But this was only the beginning. It was still cool here since I was in the northern part. The central part, farther from the coast, was truly an infinite desert.
And the member of the Five Great Disasters, whom I had to deal with, lived in a volcano that was at the southern end. In other words, I had to cross the desert in the middle.
Drug hero, are you going right away?
The First Spirit, who wasnt bothered with the heat at all, chimed up. Flying all the way here, I tried to drop her and make it look natural, but this spirit, who was holding on tightly as she plucked my hair, justughed happily like a speed maniac.
Hmm
I was slightly troubled by her question. After all, I wasted so much time in the Western Continent of Fantasy. I fell asleep, and three years passed. Even excluding that, I was dyed by raising the other heroes. Although I didnt regreting to the South Continent first instead of the North Continent, Icked a clear n.
There were also many recruitable colleagues from the Southern Continent. Of course, I was heading in a direction where I wouldnt run into them.
For now, lets eat and think!
Like the old saying, foodes first. The Southern Continent was unique in its cuisine thatbines wild animals raised in the golden grasnds of the north and rare ingredients only found in the desert. Fortunately, it wasnt unique in a negative sense like the cuisine of Lucifer found in the Western Continent. It was so good that it made this experienced hero want to eat it againter.
I drew a 3D map in my head. Although it was based on the experience of the 1st ythrough more than fifty years ago, the topography that I memorized naturally while conquering the dungeons scattered throughout the Southern Continent was vivid in my mind like a clear satellite image.
Above all else, nothing had changed here. Everything changes over the years, but I dont have to worry about changes every time I go back to year zero of hero life.
It seems theres nothing you dont know, drug hero.
Of course. If I write the story of my first ythrough as a fantasy novel, thirty volumes wouldnt be enough. The story of a heros adventures, who is tormented by his colleagues full of jealousy and greed, is quite dark.
The novel would surely fail. About three volumes of the prologue would be about me being beaten up by Alex and following small errands for the Dumpling King. The hero, who should have saved the world, dug herbs for an old man and wasted a whole day searching for a lost cat for a little girl.
It was the ideal example of helplessness and ipetence.
Still, it was all in the past, so a kind hero like me would justugh ha-ha like an old man and walk away. However, if it were a bad hero like ssmate A or Sieg, they would have tortured and raped the natives using their past life as an excuse. How the hell did the Fantasy God give me an F for my personality?
Wee to the Blue Wolf n! Stranger!
The attire of the natives of the South Continent wasrgely standardized. Each of them was covered with thin, breathable cloth to protect their skin from intense sunlight. Their faces were also difficult to recognize, as their mouth and nose were also covered with a cloth mask to block the dust and sanding from the desert.
The only visible thing was two eyes. But I could tell who was who just by looking at their body shape and eyes. There was no need for a skill such as irvoyance, which was learned only because of an elf who made ins into mountains with breast pads.
Nice to meet you, the w of the Blue Wolf!
Oh! I thought you were a stranger because of your unusual attire and appearance, but you know our greeting very well.
The middle-aged man in front of the restaurant of nsman F had a high position in the Blue Wolf n. I remembered him as a bold man who asked the legendary hero to take care of his child.
Its not like I had a hard time meeting such a man. I searched for the nearest restaurant with the 3D map in my head, and this was the nearest ce I found. It wasnt easy to operate a typical restaurant in the South Continent, where food was scarce due to frequent droughts. This meant that nsman F had not only power but could cook well enough to be entrusted with precious food.
Would it be better to say that he gained power because he could cook well? How much entertainment could the natives here really enjoy in their cramped houses without the Inte, games, cartoons, or television? It was all about the harmony of yin and yang, which hasnt changed since ancient times, and good food.
This was especially severe in the Southern Continent, as they spent most of their day indoors avoiding the hellish heat.
Give me Medusas fermented milk and smoked tail.
Haha! You dont even need a menu rmendation. By the way, Sir. Its not for me to say, but I envy you for having a flower spirit above your head. Ive seen flower spirits a few times in my life, but this is the first time Ive seen one so beautiful. Its a pity shes so small.
Its all right. It still fits in.
I flicked my little finger. The First Spirit mmed her heel down onto my head, but I didnt care.
The Southern Continent was a ce where the harmony of cuisine and yin-yang had developed. This was a normal conversation to have.
By any chance, are you from the South Continent? Its not for me to say, but its been a long time since a stranger looked natural as a customer here.
My hometown is in the North Continent, but I lived in the South Continent for about three years.
In the 1st ythrough, I ventured around the Southern Continent for a little over two and a half years, but I decided to round up in this case.
Oh! You came from the end of the world. Wait. I will show you a dish so wonderful that you will forget your cold homnd. Haha!
nsman F entered the kitchen with a big smile. He seemed pretty confident. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that they lived for the happiness of eating because those who cook well among the natives of the South Continent were masters at handling the ingredients they had.
Medusas milk, Medusas tail. If there was Lucifer in the Western Continent, there was Medusa in the Southern Continent. The upper body was that of a woman, and the lower body was a snake monster. It was also called the desert mermaid as it could freely roam the desert using its long and flexible snake body.
Medusa, being able to freely use the abundant underground water buried under the desert, was treated as livestock essential to life in the Southern Continent despite being a monster. It was just as how Europeans prefer beer to water because of the nature of the European continent. In the Southern Continent of Fantasia, Medusas milk, which was easier to obtain than water, quenched ones thirst.
That furry man seems to have eyes to see.
The First Spirit, who stopped kicking the top of my head, had a smirk.
Really? Youll hear it often in the Southern Continent.
Like slimes, the most advanced creatures in the universe, flower spirits live throughout the Fantasy world. Like the First Spirit, they had two pairs of dragonfly wings on their back, and their size was roughly that of a forearm. But if you look at the species, they werent spirits. They were little fairies.
Still, they were called flower spirits because of the First Spirit above my head. The epic of my senior (First Hero) was famous in the Southern Continent. The joy of cooking was difficult to savor for elderly people who remained at home to avoid the heat. Their only pleasure was to tell their grandchildren the old stories they heard when they were young.
In a sense, they could be considered as a kind of tutor. However, because they werent properly educated, they repeat their stories. They would retell a hundred stories to their grandchildren a hundred times. By the time the young grandchildren became adults capable of social activities, they had reached the point of memorizing all hundred stories.
It was brainwashing education
Drug hero, I think its a very good education policy! My achievements have been unforgettable! The South Continent is a special ce for me, too. I met Elfheim, who spoke about the greatness of human beings and the sorrow of his kind, and we became friends here.
Right. The story has been passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, the content that the great Elf King detested his peoples LCD monitors and loved the valleys of human women waspletely omitted. Anyway, the story of the unfortunate Elf King and the First Spirits active roles in the Southern Continent was as famous as the hero.
And the name was the problem: the First Spirit. Unlike other spirits, the substantial First Spirit looked like a small fairy. However, they were quite different if you observed them closely. The biggest difference was the presence of reproductive organs. However, as the poor taste of the third Elf King wasnt conveyed, the truth was that the First Spirit, who was as beautiful as a goddess, had a cloaca
Its not a cloaca!
Anyway, because of you, they are called the flower spirits, and they are considered sacred in the Southern Continent. Capturing one is treated as a felony that even the chieftain cannot forgive, and Saint B, who is the priest of the White Spirit n, protects the flower spirits and monitors poaching.
Im starting to feel this, but you know a lot, drug hero.
The food came out while we talked, but it was apanied by a sd and fruit that I didnt order. Both were very precious ingredients in the Southern Continent.
nsman F exined with a grin.
This is a service because I quite like you. Wee back to the Southern Continent that is filled with passionate love and legend.
Is it free?
Haha! Of course.
Youre not asking me to take care of a babyter, are you?
I got hit by that in the 1st ythrough. Of course, it wasnt sd or fruit at the time. I was caught off guard when I ordered cold water. After seeing the price tag, I thought I drank holy water. Water was originally expensive in the South Continent, but nsman F ripped off myrades and me.
Thats why his name was nsman F. His personality was F. How could I be so pathetic in the past?
B-baby?! Sir! Dont get in trouble! If my wife, the chiefs daughter, hears it, she will misunderstand and kill me! Ive just been married and enjoying my honeymoon, so I dont have any hidden children!
Ah, I suppose so.
Although it had already been three years into my hero journey, my visit to the Southern Continent was much earlier than before the baby is born.
I responded after calcting the date roughly. History may change by leaking Gods n, but I wasnt close enough with nsman F to consider even that in detail, so it was okay.
Dont you wonder whether they are daughters or sons when your children are born?
Huh?!
Turning from a hero to a fortune-teller, I persuaded nsman F. I increased my persuasive power by exposing his wifes secret that he told me at the drinking party in the 1st ythrough. I didnt threaten him at all.
Do you believe me?
I believe! I believe you no matter what! Oh, great fortune teller! So please dont tell my wife that!
I continued the friendship I had with nsman F before. Inspired by this heros friendship, nsman F offered more dishes, saying that he would show off his skills. Of course, it was all free. Free! I could see that justice hadnt yet died in this world.
He also didnt forget to take care of the flower spirit above my head.
Drug hero, I like that human male even more! He is the first person to offer tribute to me since I was released from the hands of the wicked elves. Not like the savages of the Western Continent who treated me like a fly! Hehe!
With strangeughter, the First Spirit spoke while grabbing at cut pieces of meat with a toothpick and eating them. Watching the spirit so happy with less than a bite of meat for a human, I thought that her thoughts were very simple.
Come down while you eat. What if harmful animal oil dripped on my head?
Do not worry. My children will clean it well.
I will take all of your hair if I suffer hair loss. Ill call you Bald Spirit.
Humph! You underestimate me. I am not a weak spirit to submit to such absurd and barbaric threats. Bring your fingers if you want to subdue my body.
Come on. Ill deal with you using two fingers this time.
T-two?! Thats unreasonable! Its physically impossible!
You underestimate me. Im a hero who does the impossible.
Im scared because it sounds like youll do it!
We devoured our meal while enjoying a pathetic conversation. Afterward, I stayed at the restaurant, dragging myself along to make a deeper friendship with the nsman F, who wanted to leave soon with his wifes secret.
It was okay to stay overni-
Creek-
Late at night, someone came into the quiet restaurant where I was alone. It was very rare toe in like this at night when the heat left because, conversely, it was the time for outdoor activities. So I looked at that person without realizing it.
Huh? Isnt it Thief E?
A cunning elf who deceived an innocent hero with breast pads. But she ignored me even though I pretended to know her and passed by to start ordering food from nsman F.
The one I always have.
Floria. You should thank me for understanding such an insincere order. It is difficult to force the elfs concept of time on me as a human being. Has it been a year? Youve still changed- oh! I think your chest is bigger. Maybe its because you drank Medusas milk, unlike the other elves. Haha!
Thats enough of the bullsh*t.
Youre sensitive to jokes because you drank outside water.
The conversation between Thief E and nsman F sounded trivial.
Damn regression. This was already my third meeting with Thief E, and it was very annoying that I had to introduce myself again every time. But I had a trick.
Illidan. What wind blew you back home? You said you would never be back until you had collected all the relics.
However, Thief E didnt respond to my call. She looked behind me once to make sure no one was there, then nced at me like I was crazy and went back to eating.
What? Did she change her real name too?
?Flustered: Her name is not Illidan. And thats a mans name no matter you look at it
Is it not? Thats so weird! Im sure she was Illidan!
Chapter 189 - [11th Round] Anyway, We’re Engaged!
Chapter 189 - [11th Round] Anyway, Were Engaged!
? Answer: Its not Illidan. Its Ileana.
Ileana! Its only one syble off! You might get it wrong even if youve known someone for a long time!
Thanks to Miss Trainee Teacher, I remembered Thief Es real name, so I decided to talk to her earnestly. I approached the table where she was sitting. Ileana was wary of me as if looking at a crazy man, but this understanding hero didnt care and returned it with a bright smile.
Ileana. I am your fianc.
Pffh-?! Chough-chough!
With her eyes wide open, Ileana spat out what she ate in front of me and had to down a ss of Medusas fermented milk in a hurry. Whether it was because of my high luck or the protection of the universe, the food fragments that had been spit out didnt even graze my body, but it wasnt a very good sight.
The pattern after that was simr to before. The conversation began with how I knew her name then ended because I was a great hero and her fianc. For this woman, her real name was as important as a security check.
Ugha fianc that Mother kept a secret?
Ileana, who had never revealed her name outside her home, believed what I said without much doubt. I asked her a question indirectly.
How many Relics of Chaos have you collected?
Two.
Ileana, who had gently taught me her important secret, took a brooch out of her pocket. I saw that one in the ck market before. Unfortunately, it could only be used by descendants of the unfortunate third Elf King. Its effect was to protect the wearer like divinity.
But now, it was only a mere ornament. This was because the protection function of the rtively low item wasnt helpful since everyones abilities went up too much. Then, after rummaging through a small suitcase, Ileana pulled out a Relic that I hadnt seen before.
It was a monocle. Nobles who had lost their sight due to presbyopia always carried it with them for reading and paperwork. Still, in the Fantasy Continent, it was usually also a magic tool. Magic sses that measuredbat power!
But that item was useless in this entrance exam center. Once again, because the average ability was so great, they easily exceeded the limit measured with magic sses.
There may be other beings whopletely hid their skills like Master Mon, but there was no chance to encounter them in the adventures of a hero. But how about here? The Lord had reached the Transcendental Realm when in the past, someone was evaluated as strong even at Level 300. Yet now, that was the level ofmon soldiers.
Dont look at it like its nothing. I went all the way to the North Continent and had a hard time retrieving it. This monocle is truly a great magic tool. There is no limit to the measurement ofbat power. And unlike other tools, it disysbat power in numbers.
In numbers? Hoo
The magic monocle that I knew guessedbat power based on the concentration of energy wrapped around the body. The cheap ones measuredbat power only by the level, while the advanced ones reflected it bybining the skill levels.
Whats the only downside? Production and assisting skill levels were also reflected inbat power. Cooking A and Swordsmanship A were treated equally! I wanted to measure mybat power before reading the memories in the Relic of Chaos.
Lets start with someone else.
What about his fighting power?
I pointed to nsman F, who was cleaning the floor of the restaurant.
? Race: Human
? Level: 96
? Job: Chef (Career Cooking)
? Skill: Cooking S Brazier A Stir-Frying A ughter A Fermentation B
? Status: Alert
It wasnt the chef abilities of a shabby nsman. If it had been the original Fantasy Continent, he would have overtaken my colleague, the Chef King, and stolen his name. Ileana ced the monocle over her eye.
That man is 1,053.
It looks like that thing measures it with numbers.
However, the sample was insufficient. To figure out whether that number was high or low, I needed something topare with.
For reference, I am 5,160,000.
Thats too much of a difference topare.
However, Ileanas rapidly changing abilities convinced me.
? Race: Arch Elf
? Level: 4985
? Job: Thief (Weak Luck)
? Skills: Stealth Z Latent Z Disguise MAX Dagger SSS Stamina SSS
? Status: Nervous, Excited
If nsman F were the Chef King, Ileana would be the Thief God. If she were thrown into the normal continent like this, there would be no target in the world that she couldnt kill.
Dont be surprised to hear that. This is the origin of all magic sses. The creator was the Goddess of Invention, who was the First Herospanion. She was an elf and a colleague of my ancestors. So this isnt stolen, its just
So what, your job is Thief after all?
Uh
Unable to refute, Ileanas breasts trembled with a shock. The fact that they were fake was simplymentable. And this time, it was my turn.
How about mybat power?
I was going to measure it anyway. But dont expect too much. Ive met countless heroes in the past three years, but those above 10,000 were rare. Dont be too disappointed whatever the result is. A tool is just a tool, but it cannot be determined by numbers. Its just a reference anyway. I cant deny that it is very useful in the arena when I need some travel funds, though.
You talk too much, huh.
You are so mean to the fiance whom you met for the first time! Oddly enough, youre not shy at all. Are you my fianc?
Ileana looked suspicious over the sses. I casually tossed out a retort.
Of course. Otherwise, how would I know that your breasts are fake?
Ugh?!
The measurement of mybat power was carried out after Ileana came to her senses, being confused by discovering a grave secret on which her self-esteem was at stake.
So?
Dont rush it. This relic has the unique advantage that onlybat-rted skills are reflected inbat power and are urately expressed in number, but it takes some time to measure because it is too old. It exceeds 1,000it exceeds 5,000
I heard a live broadcast of Ileana dictating the number. Instead ofing out at once like a scale, it seemed to slowly rise from one like an elevator.
Hmm? Did it stop at 100,000?
Ileana, who was constantly dictating the numbers, didnt say a word after passing 100,000. She shook her head from side to side with an expression of disbelief, denying my question.
No. It keeps going up. Now, Im increasing the interval while ignoring small digits. It exceeds 120 thousand. Unbelievableamong the heroes Ive seen so far, even that person who was the most powerful of all was only at 90,000.
That person?
What kind of son of a bitch was that person?
I dont know the name. He was on the strong side among the heroes, but overall, he was weaker than me. Above all, he was a pathetic human man chasing only the tail of the famous Ice Princess from the Northern Continent, so I didnt careit exceeds 150,000.
I see.
We chatted about this and that, waiting for thebat power measurement to be concluded. By the time her story was about to run out, I had seeded in naturally taking advantage of the flow to deduce the main house where she had been hiding. I would depart as soon as I finished measuring mybat power.
It exceeds one millionwhat the hell?
Ileana looked at my face through the sses in astonishment, but I wasnt in the mood to match her rhythm. It was because there was no sign of the measurement end.
Isnt that going to speed up?
Shouldnt it be flexible enough to be faster as the number of digits increases?
Unfortunately, there is no such feature. No, ording to the literature, it seems that there was in the past, but now it seems to be broken.
When will those old sses finish measuring mybat power? Fortunately, there was a helping hand.
Ive been waiting quietly for your conversation to end soon, but I cant do it anymore. The restaurant has to close, so please leave.
nsman F gave us an expulsion order. At other times, I would have just cursed him for being an unkind native who drove out the hero, but now I was very grateful.
Owner, does this restaurant also run an inn? Then I am going to reserve a room.
The ignorant Ileana refused the expulsion order. But nsman F didnt care. He shrugged skillfully as he responded.
Floria, while you were flirting with that stranger, all the rooms were filled with guests.
No wayIve been the only person in this restaurant since a while ago
Anyway, its full. Or are you doubting my words, the Tongue of the Blue Wolf!
Kugh!
The South Continent had an interesting custom. In this ce where they lived in n units, they were given the title of body parts depending on their status in the n they belonged to.
Heart = Chief
Right Arm = The Strongest Warrior
Left Arm = The Chiefs Companion
Eye = The Best Hunter
Ear = Elder
Tongue = The Best Cook
Nose = Priest
Right Foot = The Coolest Man
Left Foot = The Most Beautiful Woman
Although there were slight differences between ns, in general, this was the case. And nsman F, who was granted the name of Tongue, was one of the ten most important officials in the n. But what did such a position mean in a small n? Other than the Chief in charge of the heart, the rest were honorary titles close to nicknames given to show something.
However, it was the natives of the Southern Continent who were obsessed with trivialities such as honor. Whose right arm was the strongest? Whose feet were the widest? Whose nose bridge was the highest? Whose eyes were the brightest?
And nsman F was famous for having the finest tongue in this area. Thats why he was able to marry the Chiefs daughter. Should I say that he had a good life because he was good at cooking? Therefore, the pride of this Tongue pierced the sky.
My Tongue friend who fortified our friendship with his wifes secret. Im leaving right away, so I just wish you could get me one Medusa.
Sir. Where are you going? As you may know, Medusa trained as a mount are expensive. Id rmend an old snake for short distances.
To the south.
My destination was in the poles, further down south, but I lowered the hurdles because it was hard to find a sturdy Medusa that could get there. Even if there was, I couldnt buy or rent it because it would be reserved only for the Chief.
My purpose was to make it feel like I was in the South Continent. Was it something like how you should taste fermented mares milk and ride a horse if you travel to Mongolia, famous for its conqueror Genghis Khan? I nned to use Medusa to cross the central desert.
Of course, Id also stop by Ileanas house in the middle.
Huh! Are you going to cross that desert of death? All Medusas that are that good have owners already. Its hard to
Your wife-
Haha! You are a hasty customer. Why dont you listen to what people have to say until the very end? Come to think of it. I think we can get you one. So give me a little time!
Problem solved. Speaking of which, I decided to ask another question.
Where are the heroes?
Like on the Western Continent, a hundred and one heroes must have been summoned to the Southern Continent. However, I hadnt heard a mention of them in the countless stories told under my keen ears while staying at this restaurant.
? Apology: Im sorry. I didnt say anything, but I thought that Cadet Kang Han-soo was struggling here to settle his grudge against the restaurant owner.
Miss Trainee Teacher, I am a righteous hero armed with the spirit of meddling in others affairs. Little grudges are quickly forgotten like their names.
? Question: There are people that you cant forget, though, right?
Oh, thats a quick question from Miss Trainee Teacher, whom I thought was blind.
But I didnt bother to answer. The mere fact that I would never forget the names of Alex and Lanuvel was enough to exin.
Thief E.
I mean you. You, the ignorant fiancedy.
I doubt you are my fianc. I will go home andin to my mother - hmmm. Im going to ask, but I think Ill be very tired when I get married.
Are you still measuring mybat power?
Yes. Currentlyit exceeds 100 million? Are you human?
Am I human? Thats a very rude question. Im starting to wonder if youre my fiance.
I-Im sorry.
After receiving an apology from Thief E and cautioned her that I didnt care about minor issues, I boldly forgave her for her mistakes.
Be careful next time. I feel bad for any spirits who might hear it.
I wasnt a human but a human spirit. Between these two, there was a gap like that between the usual soft slime and the soft Master Mon.
? Confused: I dont know what the difference is?!
Chapter 190 - [11th Round] Occupational Disease
Chapter 190 - [11th Round] upational Disease
After leaving the restaurant, the handsome hero and his humble fiance were helped by a friend of the Blue Wolf n, who lived on a farm in a fertilend near arge river across the Western and Southern Continents.
His name was nsman F, a novice groom who set up a restaurant on the path from the Western Continent to the Southern Continent and naturally ripped off passing-by travelers with a smile.
Meeeeeee~
Medusa. That is, Me-du-sa. Its a snake with a head that is always crying Me~~~~.
Serious: There was something that even Cadet Kang Han-soo, whom I thought was perfect, couldnt do anything at all about. I dont think you should be joking around.
Miss Trainee Teacher! This isnt a joke, though?
I didnt lie. Indeed, Medusas cry out like a goat. The upper body was of an achingly beautiful woman, and the lower body was a snake. There was also a monster called Lamia that looked simr to Medusa, but the two werepletely different races.
First of all, the size. Unlike Lamias, whose upper body size was the same as that of a human, Medusa belonged to the giant group whose upper body alone was 2 meters tall. If you add that to the long lower body, a Medusas length was about 20m!
And while Lamias could speak humannguage, the Medusas couldnt speak at all, only understand. The reasony in their oral structure. A Medusa looked tempting enough to make my eyes pop out from a distance, but I came to my senses the moment it opened its mouth.
Me~~~~
It has a snakes tongue, and this little thing was the main body. The upper half of the body, which is slender and beautiful, was simr to a conch shell surrounding the body. As a bonus, it even had the role of luring prey.
How?
In the desert, the lower body would be buried in the ground. They wait with only the upper body of a human being exposed. Then, when prey approaches, they attack with their lower body hidden in the sand.
The upper body also had another role. Theirrge, hard teeth could cut easily into their prey, and unlike normal snakes, they had a keen hearing. Also, while they had breasts reminiscent of human women, they stored nutrients like the humps of a camel. Therefore, they could walk around without drinking or eating anything for more than a month without any problem, and if they remained dormant in the sand, they could survive for a year.
Here it is, sir. A very healthy male.
nsman F said as he tapped one of the two watermelon-likerge and bouncy bumps of the Medusa. It was the essence of Medusas milk, and if they didnt drink water for a long time, it would gradually shrink. So, although very rare, starving Medusas had smaller humps.
The upper body, which only looked like a beautiful human woman, was just a shell for camouge. Medusa kernels exist separately, as male and female. You couldnt tell just by looking at the upper body. As with most reptiles, you had to look underneath to find out.
He does look healthy.
I, not knowing much, nodded as I looked at the swaying humps. It seemed like he wouldst a long time, even if we ran non-stop. As a bonus, he was also emergency food. Natives of the Southern Continent, who travel in the desert, used Medusas milk instead of water to replenish moisture and stamina.
Hero, are you going to ride this hideous creature?
Ileana, who couldnt grow no matter how much she ate due to the limitations of her inferior race, asked me while looking at the Medusa with an envious face. I nodded.
Of course. Its a trip, isnt it?
There was no need for haste. There were more than five hundred heroes beside me. They were still as weak as dust, but if they wandered around for ten years like me, they would be A-ss for sure. After all, I used to be a normal high school student, but now Ive grown up like this.
The Northern Continent where my son lives would be thest. The best scenario was that the Northern Continent would be cleared up around the time I turn counterclockwise and subdue the Eastern Continents Five Great Disasters.
Question: Is it possible with dust alone?
Miss Trainee Teacher, you should have hope! I look very highly to the possibility of sess.
Assuming the vampires werent annihted by a sudden UV attack. Otherwise, the Dark Princess, who received my request, would send the hundred and one unemployed people from the Western Continent to the Northern Continent. The members of the Five Great Disasters preparing for world conquest in the cold Arctic would be entrusted to those heroes, and I would meet the son of the Sword Princess to enjoy the rest.
I never underestimated the power of friendship. It was despicable, but the effect was certain. If the heroes who were resurrected immediately after death continued to challenge themselves as if in virtual reality (VR), they would inevitably seed in the next five years.
The Fantasy Continent, which was nothing more than a ssroom where heroes studied how to be a hero, had such a system structure.
Shall we go soon?
Although Medusas were fast, flying with the wings of the righteous hero was overwhelmingly faster. But I was on vacation. After working non-stop for decades, I decided to take a break after entrusting my work to my Earthpatriots. I felt so proud. I did my share and cleaned up the Western Continent, didnt I?
It didnt feel like it waspletely clean, though.
Me~~~~
The Medusas eyes were covered with an eyepatch with a blue wolf head printed on them. That meant it belonged to the Blue Wolf n. It was weeping sadly. A Medusas weakness was its two eyes on its beautiful upper body shell. Like Medusa in Greek mythology, those eyes could turn anyone they meet into stone in a process known as petrification.
But there was a fatal w. Medusa had excellent regenerative power to restore a cut tail in an hour, but those eyes were an exception. Once removed or damaged, they wouldnt recover.
I fastened a very long rein on the main body. It looked like a mysterious beauty held a piece of noodle in her mouth, but that was the trigger that decided the Medusas life. This is because if you were to pull at it strongly, its fragile head would be pulled off.
These Medusas became very obedient. They werent smart, but they knew how to survive because they understood human speech. They were ssified as livestock rather than a monster.
I will never ride that monster that looks so unclean as to ridicule the physical characteristics of the elves! I will go on my own.
Do as you please.
I let the stubborn Ileana to her own devices. nsman F, who rolled up a rein long enough to reach the groundwater flowing beneath the desert, handed it over to me, and began to saddle the Medusa. Medusas were no different from bipedal creatures when it came to their upper body, so of course, the shape of the saddle was also different.
To put it simply, it was a piggyback bag, the household item for carrying a baby or pet on ones back. There was also a bra-shaped steel protective gear to protect the two humps, which served as essential water tanks for desert travel. This was a necessary measure, as Medusas stamina and regenerative power would drop sharply if injured there.
Sir. The secret is
I wont tell anyone that your wifes tastes are like that.
This hero was meticulous in his calctions.
Thank you very much
Dont worry about it. Arent we close enough for you to give me this expensive Medusa for free?
Im not giving but lend- Haha! Never mind! Yes, sir. We are that close!
Our beautiful friendship, which began with drunken debauchery, would continue.
Me~~~~!
After getting ready, Medusa picked me up and started running. His long tail swam from side to side like a little train in an amusement park as he darted through the soft sand. You could exin the direction in words when running lightly, but the Medusa couldnt hear it properly when it was moving fast like now.
In this case, I gave him signals by touching his neck. The principle was simr to that of a steering wheel; however, unlike a steering wheel that simply turned left and right, this required considerable skill.
Admiration: There is nothing that Cadet Kang Han-soo cannot do! Except for making jokes.
I wasnt joking, Miss Trainee Teacher!
There was nothing I didnt do in the 1st ythrough. During the Hero Festival, I was embarrassed when that cheeky elf asked me for a wyvern drivers license.
Ah! Thief E. I have a ce to stop by.
I remembered another thing I had to do in the Southern Continent of Fantasy.
Youve been calling my name by mixing Ileana and Thief E from the beginning, but I wish you could call me right when there are only the two of us.
Right, Thief E.
Howe that strange name is your definition of right?!
Now is not the time to discuss trivial matters like names. You call me hero instead of my name, dont you?
Im ashamed of myah! Its enough! Call me whatever you want! But where are you going to stop by?
Thats a very good question.
I am going to hunt Lizard W, who publicly insulted me in front of knights in the past. Ah! Dont worry too much. Its close to here.
What is Lizard W? Exin in words I know.
To be honest, I dont know. Its just one of the countless lizards that passed by and killed mypanions during the adventures of the righteous hero. But since she wanted to know, I would tell her.
The Guardian Dragon of ciers and Time that keeps the Southern Continent from getting too hot. The Ice Dragon King Sleyas.
Miss Trainee Teacher always scolded me for forgetting names like someone who couldnt memorize a foreignnguage, but it was only a serious misunderstanding. I never forget the important things.
*
Youre not asking the Guardian Dragon for advice but hunting it?! Is it possible to hunt a great being? Yourbat power exceeded 18.6 billionwhat are you?
I think its more interesting to see your tenacity and obsession in measuring mybat power without giving up.
This is a matter of course. Is it strange that I want to know a little more about a person who will be my hu-hu-husband?! Its a matter of course and a mindset as a b-b-bride! The strange one is you, hero. Arent you curious about me-?
Not at all.
In the previous round, I finished scanning her head-to-toe with my own hands and examined her internal organs and spine more precisely than a colonoscopy or X-ray test ever could. What more was I supposed to investigate here?
I could hear Thief E, who was running next to Medusa, talking to herself with her fists trembling.
What is this deep sense of defeat and humiliation?
Its alright.
This was a very natural phenomenon. It was strange of me to know every inch of her through the frequent regressions.
Thisis it the power of love Ive only heard of? Just one word calmed my body and mind.
That is abnormal.
I said it out of the blue. It wasnt something for me to say, who imed to be her fianc only by using her name, but it was abnormal to feel love for someone youve only known for a day. However, there was a possibility that it was mistaken for love. Thief E, who saw mybat power still rising, was drawn to her strongpanion with an extremely animalistic sensibility.
This was amon urrence in the savage Fantasy Continent. Most of the stories that imed to be romantic love in this world were like that.
Dont be stupid! Youre younger than - anyway, hero! I have a question. The Ice Dragon King Sleyas is the most respected and great being in the Southern Continent. If he, who has settled here for the sake of the smaller beings, disappears, this continent will be hotter than it is now due to the heat radiated from the Phoenix of the Five Great Disasters. So why would you want to hunt him?
Haha! Right, thats what everyone knows!
Hero?
Youll find out when you get there.
It seemed that my upational disease was unavoidable. Thinking of justice even while on vacation? How soft-hearted was a hero named Kang Han-soo that came from the EarthMiss Trainee Teacher. Please ask them to give me a good grade.
Question: Is this a good thing?
Cant you believe your secret friend? Nothingsts forever, but it seems that our secret friendship has already cooled down. Youll also find out when we get there, Miss Trainee Teacher!
A Guardian Dragon? Well, hes a dragon that defends lies!
The great hero, who couldnt stand the sight of injustice, and his only-for-a-day-fiance invaded the dragons nest full of hypocrisy and deception!
Chapter 191 - [11th Round] Dragon’s Nest
Chapter 191 - [11th Round] Dragons Nest
Ice Dragon King Sleyas, a dragon with an ice attribute that made its nest in a frozen oasis ced within the middle of the vast desert that was the Southern Continent.
Its home could be said to be the whole central part of the South Continent. The stronger the dragon, therger the area it controlled. Dragons couldnt build nests in others territory, so they either had to findnd without an owner or steal some away. Therefore, there was a form that dragons withrge territories were strong.
Hero, think about it again. Ice Dragon King Sleyas is the strongest dragon. Even you, whosebat power has exceeded 30 billion, will have a hard time against it.
The strongest?
R-right. Dont stare at it. Its eyes are scary!
It wasnt just Thief E; all the natives of the Fantasy Continent thought so. Ice Dragon King Sleyas, who took the vast desert of the Southern Continent as its territory, was said to be the strongest among all dragons. As proof, all dragons in the Southern Continent except the Ice Dragon King used thend adjacent to the coast for their nests.
We cant discuss the strongest without the Dragon King Noebius.
My dear friend whose territory was the entire Central Continent. As a result, the remaining Five Great Disasters werent fighting each other in territorial wars, and the dragons couldnt evene near the ins of the Central Continent.
That was until about a hundred years ago. As the Dragon King Noebius disappeared five hundred years ago, the dragons who noticed stepped out onto the Central Continent one by one. Many young dragons couldnt find nests in the Central Continent and instead wandered around in human cosy. That was why 99% of the Dragon yers, boasting they had sessfully hunted dragons, had made their achievements in the Central Continent.
Not just dragons. There were almost no powerful monsters in the Central Continent. This was because the strong beings who admired the spirit of the Dragon King Noebius gave up their territory and left for othernds. It was no exaggeration to say that all except monsters with limited movement, like the cannibal trees, were missing. Therefore, the Central Continent generally had lower levels and skills than the others.
Noebius, the Dragon King. A single dragon had changed the ecosystem of the continent!
Isnt the Dragon King a bad dragon? ssifying him as a dragon is an insult to the entire race of dragons.
Ileana.
Oh! Youre calling me ri-
Thats why youre Thief E.
What does that mean?!
Appearance and ability were irrelevant; there were only two cases where I would remember someones name correctly. Either my grudge was so deep that forgetting was impossible, or there was an ident. Ive heard so much about the infamous ones, such as Demon King Pedonar and Dragon King Noebius, that their names stuck in my mind, but most of the others were filtered out.
In other words, they were extras I didnt need to worry about. They were encounters thatcked presence enough that I would forget it when I looked back.
Were almost there.
I had a 3D map of the Fantasy Continent stored in my head, but it wasnt as urate as GPS in the desert. There werent anyndmarks to differentiate all the sand, after all.
But there was a way.
Meeeee
Medusa began to hesitate to move forward. The survival instincts of a monster were activated, evidence that we were growing closer to the nest of Ice Dragon King Sleyas. The heat of the desert was still the same, but the weather would change drastically soon.
Wheeeeiiing!
Riding on the Medusa that was forced to move forward, a cool chill came over us for a moment as if I had opened a refrigerator.
Meee
The Medusapletely stopped. I held the reins that could end his life, but he thought it was the same to die even if he moved forward. So he refused the order and stopped.
I cant help it.
I let go of Medusas reins and stepped free of the saddle. Just as smart horsese when being called, the Medusa wouldnt run away even if I released his reins without tying them. He knew he couldnt live the moment he left my sight.
Should I say that he has been tamed like livestock?
Ughyou are going here
Thief E remained restless as she frantically followed me.
Lets see how big the ice kid is.
On the other hand, the First Spirit wasid back. It was reminiscent of an old couple lying on the sofa and watching ate-night movie.
Something was standing in our way.
Rollingrolling
Ice carved into human form moved in front of us.
Ice Golem. Noebius didnt have such aplicated security system, but most dragons set up something to protect their nests. Guards, Golems, Traps, Mazes, Illusions, Magic
Since the dragons breath exerted overwhelming power, strong dragons rarely used it but instead focused on bing so proficient in magic that they were called pioneers of magic. The same went for the golems that were popr in the Northern Continent. If a human-made golem was at a toddlers level, the dragons golem was at the level of a track and field athlete.
Of course, the one which was developed jointly by Sage and Engineer A served as an exception. It was very unfortunate that it wasnt abining robot, though
AhI should take this opportunity.
It was brutally destroyed the other day, but it was still alive in my heart. The design was also wless. Captain Fantasy! Sage, who had been upgraded in the entrance exam center, would develop a better golem.
There were many trips I had to take to the Northern Continent.
Visitor. If you are not an unauthorized intruder, please present your password or pass.
One of the golems spoke politely. It was a slender-looking handsome man that looked like it might break if touched between its 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. It was an appearance that reflected the taste of Ice Dragon King Sleyas.
So this lizard was very uncooperative to me.
It snows even in the desert.
Your password has been verified. Wee to the sanctuary of Ice Dragon King Sleyas, the keeper of the Southern Continent and the noblest dragon in the world.
The ice golems stood aside. It didnt matter if I broke through head-on, but there was no reason to waste the knowledge of the 1st ythrough. Contrary to its poor appearance, the Golems stats were quite high.
? Race: Ice Golem
? Level: 3852
? Job: Watcher (Watch Five Senses)
? Skill: Ice MAX Recovery MAX Resistance SS Five Senses SS Agility SS
? Status: Surveince, Alert, Standby
There were at least five hundred of these guys. It seemed that the abilities of the entrance exam center were not all-around. Level and skill should grow proportionally, but they failed to enter the Transcendental Realm and stopped at Level MAX.
Instead, it feels that the level had gone up more, huh?
I want to measure thebat power of those golems, but its a pity that the measurement of Herosbat power hasnt beenpleted yet. It just exceeded 50 billion.
Hadnt she given up? Thief E, her face trembling with anxiety, suddenly gave in to curiosity and looked truly disappointed when she saw the Ice Golems.
Wellthen
There was nothing to be wary of after passing the Ice Golems. After passing through the main gate of earthen fortifications made by freezing desert sand, what unfolded before us was a luxurious hot spring facility. It was an interior that called to mind the Olympian gods of Greek mythology. Though instead of white marble, soft sand was shaped into bricks and then frozen.
There were, of course, facility managers to greet us.
Hero. Please change your clothes in the changing room. You can use the closet with the same number on this key.
An elf, which was normally hard to find in the Southern Fantasia Continent, handed me a key and exined. Wearing a ne, earrings, bracelets, and anklets made of pure gold, her naked body was covered with a long, pure white cloth. All the facility managers were women.
Right.
I felt something strange. I knew from the 1st ythrough that there were luxurious hot springs facilities and elves here, but how did that elf know that I am a hero?
This was a little strange.
So, youe with our kind. You have to part from each other for a while. As the hero may already know, please understand that there are separate male and female changing rooms and hot springs. Dont worry too much, though. You can meet in the lounge, and well prepare amodations for you.
Oh, I get it.
Thief E, who was slightly mesmerized, hurriedly replied. As she watched her kind working in the nest of Ice Dragon King Sleyas, she had an indescribable expression on her face. Elves were known to be extinct on the Southern Continent. Although very few live among the human ns, they were mostly ves sold on the ck market from the Central Continent.
The only natives to the Southern Continent were her family, as far as anyone was aware.
Illidan, see youter. Ah! And dont try to try on the clothes provided here by yourself, leave them to the receptionist. If you try to take it off clumsily, you could end up with a catastrophe of them being ripped off in a public ce.
I spoke in a rxed tone. These elves had mistaken me for a hero who had already used the hot springs. If so, I also needed to y along with the rhythm here.
Only for now.
Drug hero, is it your own experience?
The First Spirit asked. Even the crowned spirits that inhabited my groin and armpits were ready to listen with their ears pricked up. I answered honestly, not hiding it.
It was a tragedy. However, it wasnt a bad experience because I was able to spend hot days with the elves here who fell in love with the countless scars and muscles I acquired from chasing after my colleagues and the holy spear.
Of course, my reputation plummeted as it was discovered. My female colleagues, who showed me their insignificant underwear because of their carelessness and stabbed at me, seemed to want me to be a monk or a eunuch, but how could I stay a hero if I gave in to such absurd demands?
I am an ordinary human who conforms to the principles of yin and yang. I am not a social misfit.
Hmm. Drug hero, do you think its normal for a female in love to lose her temper when the male she likes sleeps with other females?
There was no such thing.
The hero, who had been ignored like an insect, couldnt acknowledge that he was popr with the opposite sex and was so offended.
? Cheer: Cadet Kang Han-soo, cheer up! Theres a saying that its fun to reminisce about past pains, right? However, I would like you to be a little more considerate of womens buttocks.
Miss Trainee Teacher, I love you if only youre not an old man! I love you~!
? Firm: Im sorry. We have a teacher-student rtionship! At leastdo not cross this line until Cadet Kang Han-soo graduates and bes a member of society.
So, at the crossroads to the mens and womens locker rooms, we parted.
But I couldnt get in right away.
Excuse me, hero. The Flower Spirit sitting above your head is also female, so she cannot enter the mens locker room.
The elf looked at the First Spirit as she spoke. This wasnt an issue I had to deal with.
Cute elfdy. Its a bit embarrassing to say this, but Im not a woman. Im neutral, and forcing the culture of the human race on the spirits is absurd. What do you think I would do if I saw a human male naked?
What would you do? Sniff them, of course. The First Spirit, wearing a mask of pretense, spoke like a noble goddess. It felt just like this on the first day I met this perverted spirit. Even more so now, she had be powerful with my modifications.
? Race: First Spirit
? Level: 1064
? Job: Godmother (Child = Dignity)
? Skills: Dignity ZZ Hallucination Z Hypnosis Z Seduction Z
? Status: Addiction, Obsession, Strict, Severe, Serious
All of the Transcendental Realm Skills she possessed were mental skills. There was no way an ordinary elf guarding the mens locker room entrance could stop her secret attacks.
My mistake. Pleasee in.
Completely persuaded, the elf stepped aside.
I went into the changing room as I could hear the muttering of relief from the First Spirit, who rxed her posture from pretending to be noble.
Phew! Its a huge relief. I thought I was going to die.
As if agreeing with her words, the other spirits nodded in unison. I was stunned.
You wont die if you step down for a while.
Drug hero, you can say that because you are the perpetrator. You do not know how the victims, who are addicted to you, feel.
Oh, right.
I never wanted to know.
I changed clothes in the spacious changing room, but I didnt put anything in the closet. I kept them all in the Skill Warehouse and wrapped my body with the cloth provided by the hot springs. The elf made a slightly surprised expression as I left the changing room.
Hero. You are very good at putting on clothes.
Because its not my first time.
I answered the elf halfheartedly and left the changing room.
A full-fledged hot spring was revealed before me.
HuhI thought so
All the heroes summoned to the Southern Continent were gathered here.
Chapter 192 - [11th Round] Anyone Can Act!
Chapter 192 - [11th Round] Anyone Can Act!
The heroes in the mens bath numbered about fifty. Hundreds of males of various races, presumably the heroespanions, were mixed in as well. That was equivalent to half of the heroes summoned to the Southern Continent.
I didnt think there were only male heroes in Sleyass nest. It was difficult to confirm right now, but there were likely the remaining fifty in the womens bath. The ratio of the heroes gender was approximately one to one. This wasnt my guess, but something confirmed in the Western Continent.
As I am a man, I want to take sides with other men a little bit, but I objectively thought that the number of social misfits was overwhelmingly male. But this was my bias. The men shout out in public, I will be the harem king! and proudly revealed that they are social misfits. Women, on the other hand, tend to hide the fact that they are social misfits.
Here is a shocking story I heard from a female graduate.
For Alex to be a member of my harem
That macho?
But thats the reality. Female heroes also seek a nice harem. Just as male ones favor beautiful women, female heroes favor handsome men. This tendency led the history of the Fantasy Continent in apletely different direction.
For example, the elf princess Sylvia caught on the ck market was out of the discussion. Nasus, who wasnt timid like other elvesthe elf prince with a moderately skinny handsome boy style was known as the most popr handsome man among female heroes. The harem member who followed closely behind him was the Sage of the Northern Continent.
This friend, who should be called a handsome boy rather than a handsome man, was born with a poor constitution that made his nose bleed whenever he saw a beautiful woman. But the female heroes were fine. After all, they werent beautiful enough to make Sages nose bleed.
The same went for male heroes. Except for me, who is the cutest recognized by the natives of the Fantasy Continent, most have ordinary appearances inherited from their parents normal genes.
? Curious: How about Cadet Kang Han-soos parents?
My parents? They are in very good shape because they regrly attend the tennis club. However, both of them have familiar faces. Still, looking at my young mother, I can tell who I inherited my cuteness from.
Of coursedont forget the nanny too. After all, I was born from that off-white princess thats objectively perfect.
What? Its the first time Ive seen his face.
What kind of herospanion is he?
His job is Thief. And his skills are normal.
Thats crazyis that level even real??
As I entered the steaming hot spring, every eye focused on me. Common hero protocol, they checked my abilities first and mistook me for apanion rather than a hero. Well, my job was currently hidden as Thief. The Thief, whose fortune rises in front of the weak, is one of the strongest jobs in the Fantasy universe. However, it is also one of the mostmon jobs after production-rted ones, such as Farmer.
But the heroes didnt underestimate me. The Gifted Level ZZs effect was to pretend to be normal, but it was thanks to the fact that I set my level to be visible.
? Race: Human
? Level: 8467
? Job: Thief (Weak Luck)
? Skills: Luck B Divinity C Spirit D Fabrication D Cooking D
? Status: Good
That intention worked properly, albeit a little disappointing that it couldnt go beyond Level 9999 because of the obsession of the universe. Even now, I couldnt say it was safe. If it hadnt been for the Gifted ZZZ effect, it wouldnt have been able to go past Level 5000.
Where are you from?
I was slightly troubled by hero As question. Whether or not I should disclose that Im a hero passed through my mind.
I am from a ruined country in the Northern Continent.
It wasnt ruined yet, but it was about to be trampled by the emerging empire with the golden golem. I was reincarnated in the womb of a princess who was married to that country, so though my souls hometown is the Republic of Korea on Earth, that wasnt entirely wrong.
That
The hero shut his mouth at the expression of a ruined country. There werent only one or two small countries that perished here. A lord who owns arge piece ofnd revolts and establishes a country. Then, amoner with some power drives out the lord and ims to be king.
Of course, its going to be ruined in no time.
This was because the territorial powers of the neighboringnds were severe.
? Question: By the way, Cadet Kang Han-soo. There are hundreds of males in this mens bath. How could you count all the heroes in the blink of an eye? I was surprised after counting them one by one.
Miss Trainee Teacher, take a good look. The male colleagues carefully selected by the female heroes are equally handsome, but that doesnt mean they are timid dandies. Chest muscles, abs, quadriceps, biceps, triangr muscles
Their upper bodies were covered with the solid muscles that women like. The lower body and thighs, which were now covered with a thin cloth, were also very healthy. Abilities were as varied as their jobs, so that was out of topic.
On the other hand, how about the heroes? They were ordinary. Some were quite good-looking, but their bodies were very poor for someone who had undergone abilities correction. Plus, anothermon feature was facial expressions. They were full of confidence that they were the protagonist of this world.
Like some actors involved in sex crimes after bragging, they can seduce any woman if they talk to them.
Of course, in terms of appearance, the actor was about five steps higher. Ugly guys that put on a look simr to great actors, well
Wait! You arehmm
There was also an old acquaintance here: hero Luke. He was a hero who once graduated and returned to Earth but was defeated by aliens and forced to re-enter the elementary education curriculum of the Fantasy Continent. He once bragged to me about a strategy book, but
He still hadnt graduated.
Do you know me?
I decided to y dumb. If he were a hero who blindly believed in the ability to read freely, he would mistake me for another person who looked simr after seeing my job. It wasnt strange to be mistaken, as my appearance changed subtly when I became a spirit.
From a realistic social worker drenched inbor to a free spirit with a dreamy image.
Im sorry. I must have mistaken you for someone else.
If he had seen me with the angels clothes or the Holy Sword Nucleon, I would have been exposed even if I had a different job, but now I was naked and empty-handed. Luke easily stepped down after seeing the subtle change in my appearance, atmosphere, job, and race.
I didnt show off my abilities either.
While looking at the heroes things, I searched for anyone that caught my eyes. Many of the Fantasy natives selected as the heroespanions were excellent. However, they werent worth discussing. They were all just a bit puffed-up, after all.
Based on this entrance exam center, someone must possess at least five Transcendental skills and at least one Level ZZZ to be a herospanion. Thats the minimum requirement.
So did Alex, the Dark Princess, and The Dark Knight.
? Race: Unique Human
? Level: 1715
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Artillery MAX uracy MAX Pration MAX Archery SSS Swordsmanship SSS
? Status: Doubtful, Tired, Resting
The abilities of Luke, the most capable hero except me in this mens bath, were truly depressing. Although it was well-bnced with his level, it was very surprising that he had grown only this much over the past three years in this entrance exam center. If Luke had been aplete freshman, it would have been normal. After all, the hurdles were too high here to start from scratch.
But Luke was different. Thest time I saw him, he was at Level 900. Once you reach the level of hunting goblins and slimes, you could say that you were ready to grow here. But howe he was just at that level with those skills?
I didnt understand at all. The average level on the Western Continent was 2000; on the other hand, the Southern Continent was Level 1400. It may be said that it was only 600 levels difference, but thebat power was asrge as a destroyer and a spacecraft. It was in a different league in the first ce.
Either the heroes of the Western Continent are great, or these people here are pathetic
Did the lump of experience known as Lucifer give the western heroes an advantage? But even considering that, this level was too much. Topare properly, I had to look at the abilities of heroes from other continents.
We are recruiting expeditions!
Suddenly, a hero standing on the head of a stone dragon spewing hot spring water into the bath shouted proudly. The heroes flocked around him.
This time, I will surely make it!
My reconnaissance skill has risen to Level SSS. Trust me.
Fufu! The time hase to awaken the power sealed in my right hand.
Leave the guarding of therades to me.
It seemed that the heroes were going somewhere to hunt monsters. I dont think its supposed to be a conversation they should have when naked, but I didnt see it negatively because I often had done the same thing with Saint H or Festival Maid A.
What matters is the result, right? When discussing ns, the process and method are irrelevant as long as the results are good. Even if the bottom swings out, openly naked.
So they hunt voluntarily here, huh?
In the Western Continent of Fantasy, it was cumbersome as I had to grab the cervical spines of the heroes one by one and drag them out. So, even more, it didnt make any sense. Why were the abilities of these sincere heroes so low? I might be able to find out by pulling out the spine joints of the Ice Dragon King Sleyas, the owner of this hot spring, and asking him a few
Hey- Kugh?!
While watching the soldiers passionate unity with half their bodies soaked in hot springs, Fellow A tried to put his hand on my shoulder. So, I put my hand on Fellow As neck first and expressed my friendliness.
Why did you call me?
L-l-let me go first-! Fuh! Cough-cough!
Caressing his neck and coughing a few times, Fellow A continued speaking as my caring and patience, waiting for his exaggerated reaction to end, slowly approached the limit.
Youd be better not even think about getting in there.
He pointed to the group who were whispering in a circle with his chin.
I didnt mean to be a part of it from the beginning, thougheven if I did, how about taking a look?
I wanted to get a glimpse of how the heroes summoned to the Southern Continent of Fantasy fight. However, Fellow A made an odd sound.
You said you were going to take a look.
Itspletely different.
Joining the hunt meant sharing experience and loot. But what I was trying to do was simply watch. The two could never be the same.
Ah, youve been seriously mistaken. Although this is not surprising, since you have just arrived here.
Ive been mistaken, you say?
Are you treating a MAX-ss hero with decades of experience as an idiot? While I was drawing an estimate by looking between Fellow As 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, he exined it one beat ahead this time.
Their destination is the womens bath.
Haa?
Half the world is women, and I dont know why so many heroes are doing this as if they have never seen a woman naked before.
I overestimated the heroes too much, but Fellow A was also greatly mistaken. They must be fools because they are heroes. Dont expect too much from those social misfits.
I guess I expected too muchBoris.
If they want it so badly, Ill let them take a look at the naked body of a beautiful woman whobined only the strengths of elves and angels.
Did you call me, Master?
The male heroes, who carefully nned an expedition to the womens bath, opened their eyes wide when they found Boris. Every time Boris breathed, her chest and wings shook like waves, and the heroes eyes swayed up, down, left, and right ordingly.
Clean up this ce.
I will take your orders.
They wouldnt wear out just from looking, so I would give them a discount. The lives of heroes at Level 1400 on averagewasnt it too cheap to see a beautiful exorcist that lightly passed level 9999 and was stered with Level ZZZ skills naked?
This bastard really likes to butt in
I had to hide my job as a Thief, but it wasnt as easy as I thought. I guess Im not good at acting.

I was quite looking forward to it. In the Western Continent, the Lord served tasteless fly dishes and made the heroes lose their tempers, but things would have been fine in other continents.
So whats the point of this?
Boris, the spirit summoned by my call, was bare naked, not wearing a single thread. Normally, I summoned her wearing clothes made by grinding my level, but today, I specially removed her clothes for the heroes who wanted to see into the womens bath. As expected, the response was tremendous.
Hieek?!
Her skills?!
Oh! Oh My God.
Rather than surprised by Boriss perfect body, they were more surprised to see her abilities. A surprise that soon turned to fear.
Flutter-
The feathers of her wide-spread wings shot out in all directions. It would be nice to be able to block it with superhuman reflexes, but unfortunately, the heroes and theirpanions had no means to block the feathers imbued with the Heart Sword effect of Swordsmanship ZZZ. Especially not when the Mind Spirit was on my side.
Eargh?!
Kugh?!
Aargh!?
Feathers were embedded in the bodies of each hero staying in the mens bath. The elves managing the hot spring ran away in a hurry, and the targeted heroes floated on top of the hot tub like dead fishes. It didnt matter to me whether they charged into the womens bath or whatever they wanted.
However
I cant handle how meddlesome this bastard is.
The upational disease was a problem. The sense of justice of the MAX-ss hero who couldnt control himself while looking at the existence of evil could not standstill. Meddling like this would only waste my time. It was just self-satisfaction with no material benefit to me. I understood that fact with my head, but my body was the problem. My blood boiled, unable to stand the injustice.
Drug hero, why dont you honestly say that you killed them just because you dont like how your friends are ying around?
The First Spirit was acting cheeky in the male bath filled with cries and screams.
What would a spirit who doesnt believe that justice still exists in the world know?
This was a holy purification, a noble task to lead rebellious souls to reincarnation. The same was true of the protagonists of many fantasy novels that I read as a regr citizen. Pathetic humans whomit suicide or were hit by trucks without adapting to society act as if they had bepletely different people after reincarnation.
That was what I was trying to do now.
May you be a great hero when you are born again. Mon.
I prayed in the hot tub red with their blood.
No one knew yet that I was the culprit. People were also in a rush to run away, but it was because Boriss ability was overwhelmingly higher than mine. In the Fantasy Continent, there was no case where the absolute power obeyed the orders of the weak. The handsome men, who saw the heroes in in no time, fled to the changing room. Some tried to jump over the fence into the open-air bath, but-
Bzzzztttt-!
Eaaaarrrrgh~?!
Uuuuugh~?!
That wish couldnt be fulfilled because the magic traps set up by the Ice Dragon King Sleyas were triggered.
I was alone in the hot spring that was cleaned up immediately. No, there was a hero who miraculously didnt die.
I knew it! You are Kang Han-soo! Your job has changed, but Im sure of it! I can tell! You are the only one in the world which smells like a Demon King more than the Demon King himself! Right? Kang-Han-soo!
Luke, covered in blood, shouted at me. The rest of the heroes were naked with only one towel, but not so for Luke, who brought the portable armor developed by Factoria. Thus, he barely escaped what wouldve been fatal injuries. This meant that he wasnt sloppy and weak enough to be killed by a wide-area assault.
I shrugged when Luke asked me for confirmation. Did I need to answer?
Thud! Thud!
Keugh-?!
If he didnt die with one feather, stick two in him. Thinking that far, I was like, Oops!.
I forgot to ask where they restart when they die.
After all, I want to check if they were reincarnated and turned over to a new leaf myself. My effort to kill them wouldnt be futile, right? But I wasnt worried.
There were still many targets to ask in the womens bath.
Master. Please excuse me?.
Ssh.
Boris, who had canceled the summoning of her pure white wings, entered the bath. Then, she sat down next to me with her buttocks pressed on me. It was a plus to have her pointy head resting on my shoulder.
Also, she drove out the Mind Spirit and yed with me using her hands in the water!
Hmm
Her hand movements were out of the ordinary. Of course, it seemed that blood flow was more easily concentrated due to faster blood cirction caused by soaking my body into the hot spring.
Some time passed like that.
sh!
Spatial movement took ce in front of my eyes. Honestly, the response was a bit slower than I expected.
The girl who appeared like that let out a scream.
Who is it?! The one who killed the heroes of my holynd!
Her white hair went down to her knees, her eyes were as white as fresh snow, and her unrealistic chest that the word precocious couldnt defineshe was also wearing a provocative costume and colorful essories too much for a young girl to wear.
Be quiet. I cant concentrate.
I frowned as I was aiming at the gate soaked with hot spring water while lightly holding the 4th and 5th of lumbar vertebrae of Boris, who stood with her legs slightly spread out in the steaming bath.
Ugh
Boris, whose upper body was bent vertically, red at the meddler as if she were displeased.
Hey?! W-w-what are you doing in the sacred hot springs?!
Cant you see?
I wanted to go on, but my excitement had cooled off because of the imprudent meddling. I let go of Boriss slim waist. Then, I checked the abilities of the girl who was white from clothes, hair, skin, and eyes.
? Race: Ice Human
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Guardian (Guardian Damage)
? Skill: Freeze ZZZ Heavy Snow ZZZ Magic ZZZ Resistance ZZ Reflection ZZ
? Status: Transformation, Fury, Absurdity, Protection
Although they fell short of the Five Great Disasters, her skillposition was far beyond the general category. The race was human, but thats because of the status Transformation.
The girls true identity was:
Ice Dragon King Sleyas.
The greedy dragon monopolized the central part of the Southern Fantasy Continent.
You seem to know me, but I dont know who you are. I remember the faces of all the heroes summoned to the Southern Continent in detail, but I have never seen one as shameless as you.
Why do you think I am a hero?
The spirit above your head.
Ice Dragon King Sleyas pointed to the First Spirit.
Oh! Ice Kid. You remember me. Right! I am the first and noblest spirit in the world. Im no lightweight spirit that follows anyone.
O, First Spirit. Why would someone as noble as you follow such a beastly human?
Sleyas, speaking without any respect to me as a cheeky girl, spoke politely to the First Spirit. This must be because of her status as a party member of the First Hero, an entity that deserves the respect of everyone living on the Fantasy Continent.
The reality was far from a legend, but the records and achievements of Senior 1spanions couldnt be denied.
I have been bound in body and mind by this hero.
Oy?
This damn spirit? You have to say it right.
I understand. In other words, this human being is not worth saving. Ive been guessing it since he killed the heroes I was looking after.
Sleyas flicked her right hand slightly up.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
An icicle-like arrow appeared in the air and shot straight at Boris and me. But I didnt avoid it. It was because I was certain that the attack couldnt reach my body.
Boom-!
This was what I meant.
Kuergh?!
The hot spring water, which pierced the hard floor and gushed up like a waterspout, smashed the small body of Ice Dragon King Sleyas with all its might. It wasnt done by the spirits or Boris.
May the universe protect us, long live our hero?.
The national anthem of my country came out automatically. If you want to attack me, someone sponsored by the worlds biggest conglomerate - the universe - you have to raise your Luck first. Otherwise, it would end like this.
Crumble, crash, ssh.
The hot spring water, which was as hot as steam, was a big blow to Sleyas, the Ice Dragon King.
High abilities? They werent omnipotent. For example, having high abilities doesnt mean you dont need a spine, right? If you overdo it, you will suffer from a herniated disc. The high spring water had enough physical strength to push up the body of a lightweight girl, and theirpatibility wasnt very good.
It would be different if she were armed.
W-what is this
Ice Dragon King Sleyas, surprised by the fact that the hot spring floor she had put so much effort into was poorly constructed, failed toe to her senses. And I wasnt the type to miss this opening.
I summoned the Holy Sword Nucleon as I leaped forward. With the great Master Mons education as a surprise attack, I also took advantage of my newly awakened power to manipte abilities.
? Race: Ice Human
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Guardian (Guardian Damage)
? Skill: Freeze ZZZ Night Snow ZZZ Demonic ZZZ Food Preference ZZ Recoil ZZ
? Status: Transformation, Confused
I didnt touch the Freeze Skill, which determined her identity, but I modified all the core skills of the Ice Dragon King Sleyas. Even though she was rolling around uglily, a dragon was a dragon. She was naturally on the defensive and blocked my approach by building a wall of ice.
ng!
But that wall broke on its own. The skill was changed to the wrong type and couldnt be maintained.
What the hell is going on- kyaaah?!
The Holy Sword Nucleon cut the unrealistic chest of Ice Dragon King Sleyas diagonally.
This wasnt child violence but a noble act of punishing a perverted lizard pretending to be a beautiful young girl. I pushed the Ice Dragon King Sleyas without giving her a chance to adapt to the sudden change in her abilities.
Even if she adapted, there was no answer. Her corebat skill had been changed to some non-mainstream, wacky secondary ss. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that herbat power had decreased by 80 percent.
Bzzzztt, bzzzzztttt-
But this wasnt permanent. The First Spirit wasnt hostile to me, so the changed skills could be maintained, but Ice Dragon King Sleyas was fiercely resisting along with the huge systemid on the Fantasy world.
Would itst five minutes at most?
But it didnt matter. Instead of five minutes, five seconds was enough to catch one dragon that transformed into a delicate human girl.
Fall. The Ice Dragon King Sleyas who is full of senility and hypocrisy!
The mace of justice for the true Five Great Disasters of the Southern Fantasy Continent!
The Southern Continent of Fantasy, the home of all elves, wasnt originally a desert. However, at some point, the temperature rose, and the desertification progressed rapidly. The culprit was the Ice Dragon King Sleyas, who wanted to pretend to be strong like Noebius, the Dragon King, by upying arge territory.
I noticed this fact in the 1st ythrough.
? Curious: How?
Thats a great question, Miss Trainee Teacher!
I wanted to return to Earth as soon as possible, so I gave up on convincing my colleagues who yed in this hot spring and moved alone. Using my remarkable wisdom and sacrifice as a stepping stone, I defeated the me King Phoenix, the Five Great Disasters of the Southern Continent.
Heres the question. Why did the temperature in the Southern Continent only drop by one degree?
? Confused: Cadet Kang Han-soo. So, are you saying that Phoenix of the Five Great Disasters is innocent?
The me King Phoenix was just there to help. The real culprit was the one that impersonated a slender girl right in front of me. This was the principle of air conditioning. The heat wasnt lowered but moved outside.
Fall. The main culprit of global warming!
This dragon was more harmful than Freon gas.
Chapter 194 - [11th Round] This Hero Is a Normal Person!
Chapter 194 - [11th Round] This Hero Is a Normal Person!
I spread the wings of the righteous hero from side to side and leaped towards the Ice Dragon King Sleyas at a low altitude.
I didnt care about the surroundings. I had already entrusted the hot springs iing alerted guards to Boris.
Even without any armaments, Boris was already powerful. Now that she was armed with the highest-quality equipment that I made while raising production-rted Skills in the Western Continent, she had be even more powerful.
First of all, the material used to make them was far from ordinary.
Theyre all 100% pure experience points!
It was safe to say that it was Level 9999 armor.
I didnt mean that figuratively.
? Race: Armor Spirit
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Guardian (Guardian Damage)
? Skills: Guardian C, Regeneration D, Cleanliness D, Immortality E, Resistance E
?Status: Good, Reverted
That was because even half of Boris armor was made of spirits.
That was just the prototype, so the skills werent optimal, but I filled in the gap by pouring a lot of experience into it.
It wasnt a sensual armor that boldly exposed womens breastbones, thighs, navel, and shoulders, which often happened in games wherein the higher the level, the skimpier their outfit became.
Itpletely covered her except for the back, which was unavoidable because of wings.
What about the performance?
Boom, bang, pooong, kwang-!
It didnt matter what they used. Nothing worked against Boris.
The only one that could stand up to her, overflowing with Transcendental Realm Skills, was Sleyas, the heinous criminal who was on the verge of being judged by a righteous MAX-ss Hero.
Ugh Why would you attack a cute, sweet little girl?!
You deserve to die just by saying that!
I had enough of Lanuvel pretending to be cute.
I could no longer tolerate more.
p!
However, Ice Dragon King Sleyas was tough. Although she expanded the territory of her nest by ying a trick, it still wouldnt have been possible if she didnt have the capacity to support it to some extent.
White dragon wings sprouted from her back.
Even though her abilities were messed up by my power, her races unique strength and characteristics remained undisturbed.
? Race: Ice Human Ice Dragonian
Another pair of wings sprouted from her back as her nails grew longer. Her pupils also gained vertical slits, bing more reptilian than human.
You want to y around, huh?
Kaaagh-?!
But that was all she could do.
One of the representative transformations of dragons, Dragonian, was a battle form specialized in dealing with annoying opponents as small as bacterias. Their human forms enabled more delicate battles.
The Dragonian of Neubius, the Dragon King, was a typical example.
That dear friend of mine grew stronger with the addition of Skills such as '' Kick & Punch'', which he couldnt execute in his true dragon form.
But what about the dragon in front of me?
Her skin was still the same as that of a human.
It was different from Neubiuss transformation, whose whole body was covered in pitch-ck scales that made it difficult to find any weak points or gaps.
Her whole body was full of vulnerabilities!
Even her wings, which focused on aesthetics instead of practicality, were one of them.
sh!
A swift approach and a horizontal swing of the Holy Sword Nucleon cut clear through her.
Externally, her current state had little difference from humans, but her bones were still the same as that of actual dragons, which were often used for national-treasure-ss weapons and armor.
That didnt change the fact that it was insignificant, though.
Thats the limit of having a small body.
If you prick an elephant with a needle, then nothing will happen to him, but if you prick a fly, it will die.
That was why the bones of Ice Dragon King Sleyas, who insisted on having the appearance of a small girl, were shattered helplessly.
If she had returned to her original dragon form or transformed into a full-fledged Dragonian as Neubius did, she wouldnt have been bothered being cut once or twice by the Holy Sword.
In her current state, it was lethal enough to threaten her life!
This lizards petty tricks
I aimed between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae. Instead of her head, however, her right arm was the one severed from her shoulder.
The cause was a prism.
She created ice crystals with the only skill I couldnt change, distorting the light.
H-howe you aimed at the air?!
Sleyas, now only one-armed, asked me a question with a confused expression.
I naturally didnt reply.
Of course, it wouldnt change if she knew.
My luck correction made it so even if I missed, my attacks would still hit the target by making adjustments, like a bullet taking a U-turn. There was no coping with it.
Have a swift death.
Even if youre a Hero, dont underestimate me-!
Eximing desperately, she began to move in earnest.
She created a clone with a prism, summoned icicle arrows incessantly, and fired them at me.
She even released an Ice Golem!
Although most of herbat-rted skills were sealed, she had considerable Resistance. That was the power of the Level ZZZ Freeze skill.
However
Thud!
It didnt work on me.
The Holy Sword Nucleon pierced the Ice Dragon King Sleyas body.
I aimed between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, resulting in my de impaling her between her 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebrae instead.
What a ridiculous mistake!
I only took one day off, but I seemed to have lost my senses. It was no different when it came to breaking her spine.
Cough!
My opponent vomited a handful of blood as she staggered, unable to keep her body straight.
She looked to be in so much panic that she couldnt even think of reverting to her dragon state.
I should be able to finish this with the next attack.
Get away from Lady Sleyas!
Well fight you in her stead!
You savage! How could you attack a little girl?!
Ill deal with you!
Women rushed into the mens bath, their voices zing.
I didnt know if they came running after hearing themotion or if they came to peep into the mens bath and happened to witness it. I didnt care either way.
What was important now was
? Race: Arc Human
? Level: 1094
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Magic SSS, Swordsmanship SSS, Charm SS, Agility SS, Makeup SS
? Status: Courageous, Thrilled
They were female Heroes.
The proportion of their skills rted to beauty was high, but their overallbat power was lower than mens. However, they made up for it with thebination of various skill configurations they had evenly raised, removing any biases.
Was that the meticulousness of women?
Anyway
sh!
Disregarding their words, I finished what I was doing.
The Ice Dragon King Sleyas fell, her body perfectly divided in half, crashing to the ground in opposite directions. She spilled arge amount of blood, far more than her small physique could contain.
Lady Sleyas-?!
N-no!
We made it clear that well be your opponent!
You coward! How dare you attack the wounded!
The heroes insulted and degraded me nonstop.
I couldnt help butugh when I looked back at the scene reminiscent of the marketce.
Coward? You shouldnt rush around and say things like that.
Half the heroes in the womens bath seemed to be present. And even at this moment, one by one, the rest were joining in.
It would be far more hrious if I spared a target lying around like a corpse, though, since she might strike the back of my head at a decisive moment.
I shouldnt leave any future trouble.
I wouldnt want to get caught by the ankles while practicing hypocrisy.
We are all in one party.
Of course, cooperation is a must, right?
If you feel wronged, you can summon your subordinates!
Lady Sleyas! I will avenge you!
The heroes presented their objections without hesitation.
It was full of forced logic, but they also made some reasonable arguments.
Comrades, huh?
That reminded me of the time when Sleyas joined my side as myrade.
Realizing a tad toote that one of the Five Great Disasters, known as the main culprit that turned the Southern Continent into a deadly desert, had been subjugated by me, she deactivated the air-manipting magic circle that had been in operation for thousands of years.
From then on, the temperature gradually decreased.
However, the Southern Continent was originally part of the hot axis. Reluctant to heat, she decided to give up her nest because she couldnt reactivate the magic circle.
Her evil deeds were endless.
She was self-indulgent during our adventures, and she tarnished the reputation of my righteous hero image by making me look like a pedophile who liked beautiful young girls.
When they said that strong denials were strong affirmations
Its lovely to know that youre finally dead, Ice Dragon King Sleyas.
I thought I was really going crazy.
Snap out of it, Drug Hero! It was already difficult to find your usual expression pleasant, but now it is even more horrendous.
Excuse me. I am fine.
Real weirdos think theyre normal.
Really?
I took a quick look at the faces and bodies of the female heroes, easily avoiding the magic and arrows they fired at me.
I didnt know the exact criteria for selecting male heroes. However, from a third partys point of view, the criteria for selecting female heroes seemed to be their appearance and age.
Pretty girls who would have been scouted to be idols and actresses during their high school days.
On top of that, they showed off a more radiant charm by providing them with fantasy skills.
However, there was nopetition because princesses anddies with beauty surpassing humans lived all over the Fantasy Continent.
Drug Hero, what are you going to do?
Didnt you say it would be strange if I insisted on being a normal person?
I should just prove it, then.
I didnt even look at the elf-like skinny heroes.
My aim was ady perfect from head to toe, the best woman to prove I was normal.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Those who disturbed my search were punished with the wings of the righteous hero, which cut and stabbed them with horns that prevented healing.
Most of them were thepanions of heroes.
The elves who worked under the Ice Dragon King Sleyas ran away, and only the ice golem came at me to protect the empty and ownerless house.
But the power of that friendship was too weak.
It couldnt get over the years of experience I had umted in a terrible Fantasy World where savage forces ruled and where flush toilets didnt exist.
They wouldnt be able to do anything to me, even with theirrge numbers.
They spent most of their adventures full of dreams and hopes in the hot spring meaninglessly.
E-everyone, please stop that guy!
A youngdy, escorted by handsome males, shouted with a pale face while shooting magic from a safe distance.
She looked sexy even when she stepped back.
Although it was an evaluation based on my subjective preferences and taste, she was by far the most outstanding beauty among female heroes gathered in the mens bath.
She had so many followers.
Lets protect our master!
I shall be your shield!
Ill be your opponent!
Handsome men and pretty boys from the Fantasy Continent blocked me pompously. Their jobs, levels, equipment, and weapons were varied, all proving to be unique.
I answered them with a smile and a Holy Sword.
Out of my way, you lowly junks.
sh.
I stepped forward, walking on the floors of the hot spring damped with the blood and flesh of the men that tried to impress the females.
I then spoke to the female hero.
G-go away- Hump?!
She was a beat toote.
A true man would take action rather than utterme phrases!
My right hand held her between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, and my left arm gently wrapped between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.
Then I pressed my lips to her breast.
Abilities were only a plus.
? Race: Grand Human
? Level: 1104
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Magic Z, Spells MAX, Attractiveness MAX, Madness MAX, Charm MAX
? Status: Confused, Maddened, Thrilled, Lustful, Fractured
I groomed them so beautifully.
The female hero who became a ve to my skill began to respond to me in no time at all.
Thud! Thud!
Drunk by my charm, the slender limbs of the youngdy drooped like a marite with a broken thread, her bodypletely exhausted.
I took care of her so that she could rx in the spa.
Ssh!
However, diving in public ces was too much.
Although this was a savage Fantasy World, shouldnt I keep basic public manners?
I licked my tongue as I looked at the female hero who floated up with her face immersed in the water. As I enjoyed the gazes and atmosphere around me, which had fallen below the temperature I initially felt, I spoke in a soft tone.
Queue number two. Pleasee forward.
Instead of approaching me, everyone turned around and began to move away.
Was it because they were still elementary school students? It still seemed too early for them to practice love and friendship that was hotter than hot springs.
They werent ready yet.
I knew that, but
Come here. Why dont you talk to me, a good brother who is about to enter a savage middle school? Do not cry. Wipe your tears and look at me. Do I look like someone who will harm others?
The nest of Ice Dragon King Sleyas disappeared from the Fantasy Continent.
And the average temperature of the Southern Continent dropped.
Damn
It seemed that the First Spirits words were correct.
Because there was no way that a hero who volunteered for free like it was his second nature could be a normal person. This upational disease had no answer.
Regardless
hero, yourbat strength exceeds 1 trillion. Im starting to wonder if this artifact is broken.
Thief E, who broke down the hot springs and joined us, spoke up.
Are you still measuring it?
I am an elf who always sees everything I started to the end.
I dont care what you do. Just make sure to guide us properly.
You dont care?! Its really questionable if youre actually supposed to be my groom! Are you even aware of that?
Not really.
The hero party who had justpleted the implementation of justice moved to the disposable inws house.
Chapter 195 - [11th Round] This Hero Is a Normal Person!
Chapter 195 - [11th Round] This Hero Is a Normal Person!
The hideout where Thief Es family lived wasnt far from the nest of the Ice Dragon King Sleyas.
It was about an hour ride by Medusa.
The reality of what I thought was a desert with only sand spreading beyond the horizon waspletely different.
Even the mirage here is infested with fantasy
Mirage.
A natural phenomenon where something that didnt actually exist appeared to exist.
It urred whenever lights were refracted due to the temperature difference between the surface and the atmosphere. It could cause distant objects to appear closer or cause optical illusions to float in the sky.
A prime example of it was an oasis.
People often tortured themselves by running to an oasis out of hope of being able to finally drink water and since it seemed near, only to find out that they couldnt get there at all even though it looked so close that they could get to it once they reached out.
However, its effects had risen a bit more in this fantasy-filled world.
The normal mirage was foggy like a haze, but Fantasys miragepletely deceived me, who had the sharp senses of a MAX-ss Hero.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was magic beyond the natural refraction of light. No, it might actually be magic.
Hero, I wee you to the real elven pce!
Thief E boasted, pointing to the log house built next to the oasis.
I replied, noting down the fact that she didnt look like she was joking.
I think its an insult to all the pces in the universe to describe that as a pce
It wasnt even a high-quality log cabin. It had an extremely sloppy shape, probably made by cutting down the surrounding palm trees.
And the elves who lived in it
Oh, my! Illeana, wee home!
A woman jumped out and shouted. She was wearing nothing but palm leaves.
She used a parasol woven from the same material to block the hot sun of the desert.
Hey. You should cover your body with that
She was a lofty beauty reminiscent of the Queen of the Amazon, having dark green straight hair close to ck.
She had a slender neck and pretty cervical vertebrae beneath it and further down There was indeed an elven wastnd.
That elf was Thief Es biological mother.
Her upation was the mostmon widow on the Fantasy Continent.
ording to stories from the previous round, Thief Es father left to collect relics, and he never returned.
In other words, her mother was her only family.
My eyes met my temporary mother-inws gaze. From now on, I didnt have to pretend to be her fianc.
Wee, my son-inw. Its good to see you.
Yeah. So it seems.
I quietly adjusted my rhythm since she took the initiative first.
A-are you saying that you were really my fianc?!
Thief E was astonished.
She sounded like she didnt believe the words of the righteous hero until now.
She was disqualified since she believed the hero even after insisting that a Magic Sword was a Holy Sword, but now wasnt the time to argue about it.
I already knew by the mother-inws expression.
Illeana, go wash up. Mother has to talk to my wonderful son-inw.
Ugh Okay.
Thief E ran towards the oasis with her face blushing.
There was no such thing as a screen because they never had guests here. There was only that one rattle in the basket, which kept her clothes from being blown away by the sand.
A woman was really living here without any defenses. That showed how safe and hidden this ce was.
No, that wasnt all.
? Race: Old Elf
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Assassin (Night Ambush)
? Skill: Assassination ZZZ, Anti-Magic ZZZ, Sorcery ZZZ, Stealth ZZ, Transformation ZZ
? Status: Magic Sword, Magic Beast, Relic
This woman believed in her own power, and she had the ability to match it.
She could even get a job right now as one of the Five Great Cmities or Guardian.
Her just being a widow was ridiculous.
Son-inw, if youre not going to watch my daughter take a bath, would you like to join me inside? Ill make you a cool coconut juice.
Id love to.
I followed my mother-inw, who showed her back without boundaries.
The only ce to go from here was the rundown log house in front of us. The interior revealed through the open door was as humble as the exterior.
Snap.
But I stopped walking just before I went in behind her. I felt a strange atmosphere that couldnt be exined in words.
She looked back at me and smiled.
Its alright, son-inw. Im on your side.
It was a very connotative remark.
If this is a trap Youd better give up the thought of dying in peace, Mother-inw.
After that warning, I entered the ce.
Everything around me changed.
*
It was no longer a shabby log cabin.
An interior unfolded that was so luxurious even the expression pce introduced by Thief E sounded unappreciative.
It was littered with sparkling gold and silver treasures and delicate artworks. It was like a trove of treasures collected from all over the Fantasy Continent.
The size was also different. Inside the log cabin, there was room for hundreds of the same house.
I thought of it as either a spatial shift or distortion.
Its a spatial distortion, son-inw.
Can you read my thoughts freely like those teachers?
Well, I do have the same position.
She answered without hesitation as she poured two drinks from a refrigerator with a modern design that didnt fit into the Fantasy Continent.
I looked around and sat down on a splendid chair made of gold and studded by jewels. After organizing my thoughts, I continued to ask questions.
Is it the same position as the High Priest of the Northern Continent?
They were simr. She was a nanny that had been living alone for a long time because her husband ran away from home.
My mother-inw offered the coconut juice to me and nodded.
Thats right. We can read your thoughts using the teachers authority and observe you, a student, at any time, regardless of distance. But were not photocopies of each other, son-inw.
I guess so.
That was because the High Priest of the Northern Continent, who tried to deceive me and make me a puppet husband, never told this story.
She acted like a poor wife abandoned by Senior A.
She also didnt reveal her real identity even when her body and mind were conversely under my control.
That was wrong. Its not that she didnt do it, but she couldnt. I can speakfortably simply because this ce allows me to avoid mental interference from the system. This is the warehouse where His Majesty Elfheim, who is my everything, kept the treasures he had gathered during the golden age of the elves. It can bebeled as the most secure location on the Fantasy Continent.
As expected
As I guessed, she really was the wife of that unfortunate Elf King.
I saw her on the Western Continent.
She and her husband belonged to the fake hero party resurrected by Shakespeare, one of the Five Great Cmities.
But at that time, she was more
Shriek~
The barren desert turned into a rich mountain range.
Fufu! An effort is essential to be loved by the husband. Son-inw, you also fell into this once, right? I felt sorry that I got married by deceiving him with the breast pads that I passed on to my daughter, so I worked hard to learn Transformation. Heined that it was fake, but he hung on like a baby when the lights were turned off. Aah, I really miss that time
I spoke to bring her out of her immersion in her memories.
Why are you telling me this?
My original purpose was to read the memories contained in the Relics of Chaos kept in this hideout and obtain high-quality information.
She was watching everything, which meant she would have known my intentions from the beginning. It wouldnt have been difficult for her to pretend she didnt know anything.
But she didnt.
Of course, I want to make a deal.
A deal?
The original role given to me is to be a mysterious elf who miraculously appears and saves heroes who are lost in this desert when they copse from exhaustion and helps them get out of here safely. This space is, of course, private. Instead, Id invite them to the shabby house you saw a while ago.
You said so many useless things.
We never knew when Thief E woulde after taking a bath. I wanted her to exclude unnecessary content.
Oh! Dont worry about my daughter breaking in. This is a treasure trove. Time flies very slowly to prevent the treasure from degenerating. It hasnt even been a second out there despite our talk already being prolonged.
Still, lets get straight to the point.
As Ive seen, youre hasty, huh?
Lets just say Im practical.
She put down her drink and clutched her chest with both hands.
My goal is to return to His Majesty Elfheim. Since I found out that the person I thought dead was alive, my life now feels like hell.
Didnt she know he was alive?
Previously should I say the previous round? Anyway, I heard you tell Illeana that her unfortunate ancestor was still alive. Even though years have passed, my King still seems to have the same taste, which made me feel relieved and anxious at the same time. What if a fucking bitch- Oh! Im sorry. What if someone seduced him? As you already know, this is the only weakness of His Majesty that was perfect in every way.
Mother-inw was rubbing her chest while saying that.
It urred to me that she was the perfect wife for the wretched Elf King, who was obsessed with same-race phobia. Wasnt that what they called a match made in heaven?
You said you were in the same position as the teachers, and, weirdly, you didnt know.
Her words didnt match.
I couldnt exin it because you cut me off a little while ago while saying that I talked so much useless things. After defeating the first Demon King with full power, all of the herospanions in the Hall of Fame were granted with the position of a permanent teacher.
She kept babbling even more after that.
The First Spirit was defeated by boredom and sleepiness.
To summarize her long exnation: civil war broke out shortly after Senior A ran away from home. And the Elfheim faction, who was defeated in that fight, fell to a substandard role known as hero helpers, just like her.
Thanks to her position as a teacher, she wasnt subjected to harsh conditions, but she was imprisoned in a ce where the same time and memories were endlessly repeated.
Ive been wondering for a long time, but what do I have to gain in knowing the truth behind your trivial family quarrel and your identity, auntie?
I asked that out of curiosity.
To be honest, I was going crazy because I didnt want to waste my time focusing on this!
Oh, my! Did you change the way you called me from Mother-in-Law to auntie? Well, thats fine by me. Youre a hero who pursued the truth, not like the other heroes. If you help me return to His Majesty Elfheims arms, I will serve as your shadow until that day. Now is our only chance. I dont think there will be another day when my Assassination Skill will reach level ZZZ.
The Assassination ZZZs effect was probably the ability to turn into a shadow. Noted, noted.
So, whats in it for me?
Pardon? I already told you I would be your shadow.
You said that as if theres something great with the shadows. But doesnt that just mean something like supporting an auntie who is already taken?
Eh is that so?
It is. Thats the words of a MAX-ss Hero who can see through the nature of things with the energy of the universe.
I wouldnt ept petty objections and disagreements.
Illeana, the fruit of my love with His Majesty Elfheim
With all due respect.
She was just my fiance. Our marriage hadnt actually happened yet. And I already had a son that I saved in exchange for giving up on graduation.
Auntie, do you think of me as a male hungry for women?
Id feel sad if you treat Illeana like an ordinary woman. She has a small chest, but her heart is wide.
I think Ive heard that line somewhere before
Those were the words of the unfortunate Elf King as he introduced his daughter Elf K to me.
Theres nothing we can do about it. There may be no husband in this universe as perfect as His Majesty Elfheim, but thats a problem Illeana can solve. When elves are over 1000 years old, parents and children also be friends! Ive done my best Oh, my! Did I stray from the topic again? Back to the point, please ept me as your shadow. I will serve you with all the information and abilities I have as I did with His Majesty Elfheim.
It wasnt a bad offer.
As a shadow, she wouldnt be able to get in my way.
Okay, take an oath.
I swear to be your shadow as long as you help me return to His Majesty Elfheims arms.
The change came at once.
Shriek
Aunties shadow moved on its own as if it was sliding on ice, and it attached to my shadow closely, making them look like they were arm in arm.
Oh?
It was more than I expected.
It seemed that the authority of the administrator came with her shadow.
Chapter 196 - [11th Round] Find the Culprit!
Chapter 196 - [11th Round] Find the Culprit!
?Type: Skill
? Name: Teacher
? Grade: S

Except for Level E and F, the skill descriptions of which were vague, all grade effects were concentrated on the student.
She preferred being called a teacher, but from a third partys perspective, based on the skills she had, she was just a glorified stalker.
Regardless, it wasnt a skill I could use myself.
Should I say that it was more like sharing?
I could now view the information that auntie would see and hear with her administrator skill, Teacher.
For example:
Damn it! As I was revived, my precious level and skill level dropped Kang Han-soo! How dare he interrupt me while I was preparing for a journey! Ill make you kneel at my feet! Just wait!
Somewhere in the Southern Continent, I heard Lukes thoughts as he was resurrected.
It wasnt just that ambitious friend.
I clearly identified all the heroes as if surveince cameras were attached around the 505 heroes scattered across the Fantasy Continent.
Of course, it was too much to observe all of them simultaneously, just like how there were a limited number of channels that one could focus on even if they put 10 TV sets in front of them and turned them all on.
It was too much for me to observe hundreds at the same time.
But it didnt matter.
What was I supposed to do with what the worthless heroes were doing?
The way they went into the bushes and wiped their asses with leaves after pooping during an adventure with a colleague they liked. It was a fantasy adventure that wasnt as beautiful and majestic as in novels and cartoons in the first ce.
Besides
I dont expect them toplete the subjugation instead.
Some heroes were still being harassed by goblins, while others ran away in love even though they just made eye contact with natives.
Even the heroes who were presumed to be in the top ranks werent reliable
And overall, they liked to y.
Even if there were a crisis in the Fantasy World, they wouldugh, talk, and enjoy their lives since that was their mindset.
Currently, about 400 people were resting or dating.
Statistically, I concluded that heroes spent 80 percent of their days fooling around!
Moreover, theyre the heroes-
hero, what do you want to do? You can stay here for a few more days and think of this ce like your own home, or you can go out right now and talk with Illeana about your ns. Of course, if you choose thetter, I will apany you in the shadows without my daughter knowing. Ah! And please call me Shadow. Dont give me strange names.
I was going to call her Assassin E in the future, but my mother-inw predicted my next move and beat me to it.
Since she was an assassin hiding in the shadows, I should call her Shadow A!
That was easy to remember.
Shadow A.
Just call me Shadow.
I cant tell the difference between your shadow and mine. Shadow A.
Thats Okay.
Before anything, give me the Relics of Chaos.
It wouldnt be toote to decide whether to leave or not after that.
You can see the records of the relics, cant you?
Right. So you know about that, huh? Ah! And is it true that I can get out of this ce by collecting the Relics of Chaos?
Its true. In theory.
What? That remark indicates the possibility of it failing!
Still, it cant be helped. Ive never used it before, after all. However, the power of Brave capable of temporarily disabling the system will certainly allow you to escape from this training ground. There is already precedent.
After her exnation, Shadow A reached into the air, summoned the Relic of Chaos, and politely handed it over to me.
It was a portable hand mirror.
Thats very sturdy. The First Hero made it for his wife, who was thorough in her self-maintenance due to her pride as the great beauty who imed to be the best on the continent. The advantage is that it can be summoned anytime, anywhere, and never be lost. Like this.
Pop!
The hand mirror that Shadow A intentionally dropped disappeared like a mirage just before it hit the ground.
Pop!
It then reappeared on her palm.
I know exactly what it is.
It was useless for me since I was indifferent to my appearance, but I wasnt disappointed.
The function wouldnt end there, after all.
Security devices were often found in magic tools sold at street vendors. It was too much to call it a relic.
Your guess is correct. Mirrors are reflective. This hand mirror ricochets all kinds of attribute attacks except physical force. The owner didnt make good use of it, though.
Really?
I took over the hand mirror.
I saw the first owner, a great beauty, in it.
*
She was a beautiful woman with a clear body line.
Her face was framed by dark brown hair, which reminded me of the goddess of fertility. Her eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were all works of art.
She would have been prettier with a big smile, but unfortunately, she just stood there expressionlessly in front of her husband.
I wasnt surprised. She was already dead, after all.
H-how
Senior 1, who headed down like a sinner in front of his wife, couldnt speak properly.
If youre asking when and how she was murdered, unfortunately, I dont know. Humans and vampires look alike, but they arepletely different creatures. If she had been an elf, I could have given a close guess. What about you? You specialize in assassinations, dont you?
I also I am very sorry, Hero.
Behind Senior 1 were Elfheim and Shadow A.
It was unclear when the memory of the Relic was. The elf royal family, who lived forever, couldnt help since they didnt grow old, and the First Hero with abilities close to God was no different.
However, I could guess from his facial expression.
He had a youth-like face that hadnt yet been entrenched in society.
He was unaware that the death of the beautiful woman was just a prelude to the messed-up fantasy family.
I really didnt know.
I guess so.
I never thought shed be killed here since thispletely blocked external intrusions I never imagined that my wife, who walks in the garden every morning like the goddess of flowers, would be murdered
I understand. After all, I saw her every morning.
I was delighted and relieved that King Elfheim, busy with official duties, has been able to wake up regrly in recent months. But now, after hearing the reason, I feel betrayed.
The three continued their conversation in a low tone.
Meanwhile
Can we track down the culprit?
Senior 1 asked a question while looking at the pitiful Elf King with eyes befitting a righteous hero.
An answer was provided immediately.
It wont be hard to track them. After all, the culprit must still be here.
It cant be.
It can be so, my friend. Im sorry, but the culprit who killed her lives here with us, smiling nonchntly.
Elfheim. That doesnt make sense.
It does.
After arguing for a long time over whether the killer was an insider or an outsider, the two men soon shut their mouths.
After all, the answer was already decided from the beginning.
He just didnt want to admit it.
Did one of my kind-hearted wives do this? Theyve been adventuring together like real sisters until recently. I cant believe it
Calm down, my friend. For now, finding the culprit should be our priority. Well, its a pain in the ass that our colleagues have great abilities. There are more than 20 necromancers who can easily manipte corpses while avoiding our eyes. Even this wont help much if theyve been hiding their abilitiesHmm? She held onto it even in death, huh?
Elfheim, who was observing the dead womans body, pointed to a hand mirror.
It was tightly held in her hand.
Senior 1 answered with his head down like a sinner.
I gave it to her as a gift. It looks like an ordinary hand mirror, but it has the property of deflecting all kinds of properties except physical attacks. With her extremely high flexibility and agility, I thought it was a good fit for her, who could dodge all physical attacks
Thats it!
Elfheim?
There are no minor injuries on her body. And the hand mirror is summoned. That means that they were so close that she didnt even have time to defend herself with the hand mirror. Our murderer might just be a wizard capable of physicalbat. There are still gaps to fill in, but well have a few suspects if we narrow it down like this. What do you think?
Was he the same person as the unfortunate Elf King I knew?
His eyes twinkled as brightly as he looked at the swaying breasts of a human woman.
Senior 1 answered.
Stop it.
My friend?
I dont want to doubt my wives. And dont forget. If we narrow down the suspects in that way, you too will be included on the list.
Right. I see what you mean.
Im sorry, Elfheim. I didnt mean it that way.
I know. Weve spent a lot of time together, do you think I cant even tell the difference? It means you dont want to doubt your family. Its the same for me, my hero friend. Rest until her funeral. I swear upon my name that I will organize it well.
Then please take care of it. Right now, its too hard for me
Senior 1 shrugged and left. Only the Elf King, who was pretending not to be unfortunate, and Shadow A were in the room now.
Of course, the beautiful womans body was still there.
Your Majesty, what would you do?
The hero who can slice the like a potato told us not to pursue the culprit, so we should give up. But for the safety of our family and our people, I n to find out who it is.
I am your shadow. I will follow any order, but is it possible to track them without a clue?
If a clue is what we need, then theres one right here.
The hand mirror?
The scene changed as the field of vision rippled.
I saw the Elf King lyingfortably on the garden bench with ap pillow from Shadow A.
However, the brilliance he showed a while ago could not be found, and he had the usual regretful expression and gaze.
In his hand was the Relic in question.
Ugh Humans be a more superior race the more I look at them. Why did God abandon elves and favor only humans?
Your Majesty, with all due respect, are you sure youre investigating?
Of course. Cant you see?
I dont know because I am so worried about it. After all, in my eyes, I only see Your Majesty admiring the superior body of married human women all day long.
Theres a thorn in your words.
Im sorry.
Well, jealousy is also a way of expressing love. I love you as well.
Your Majesty Elfheim
I just hope that love doesnt go too far like that woman.
The unfortunate Elf King looked into the hand mirror, seriousness evident in his face.
However, the mirrors reflection changed depending on the angle, so I didnt know exactly who he was looking at.
*
Hmm? Dont tell me thats the end of it?
Shadow A, who was the culprit?
What a load of sh*t!
Even if punishing the murderer wouldnt be a pleasant scene, wasnt it sensible to reveal who it is?
However, the record ended without showing the ending.
Only His Majesty Elfheim, the wisest elf in the world, knows. I watched the whole investigation as his shadow, but I couldnt even guess their identity even in the end.
All of them.
Pardon?
If aiding and abetting were established, all the women in the garden at that time are the culprits.
What do you mean
I dont know either. I just got that feeling from the revtion of the universe.
In addition to the hand mirror, two more Relics of Chaos were kept in Shadow As house, both also containing only gloomy content.
How the hell were the seniorstter years?
There wasnt much information avable.
? Confusion: I hear a lot of shocking stories.
My most beautiful secret friend in the world, please keep it a secret!
? Cuteness: Cadet Kang Han-soos dark side is clearly visible, but there is a saying that praise makes even the devil dance. However, I hope youpliment me sincerely next time. Fufu!
Sincerely? Say something like that after showing your face, Miss Trainee Teacher, why dont you?!
It was only for a moment.
But it was clearly imprinted in my head. The face of a third party who wasnt here was briefly reflected in the hand mirror.
? Question: Whats going on all of a sudden?
I didnt answer Miss Trainee Teachers question. No, I couldnt. There was only one word in my head at that moment.
Awesome
The world wasnt just full of fraud and hoaxes.
Chapter 197 - [0th Round] Elfheim (Side Story 2)
Chapter 197 - [0th Round] Elfheim (Side Story 2)
Even an inferior elf was once selected as a hero.
The proof was the birth of the elven race.
Summoned from another dimension by the call of the Fantasy God, the First Elf settled in the Southern Continent of Fantasy, where his scions flourished.
The first to resemble him became the Elven Royal Family and was given eternal life, and the second to do so became the ordinary Elves.
The downfall of our race might have been decided at that moment.
Unlike todays elves, the First Elf, with a strong libido, made his numerous native wives conceive children.
However, because he had eternal life, he had no awareness that he should pass something down to his offspring like humans excellently did.
His purpose was to be the king of a country made up of his people.
For that reason, he made children and increased the number of his kind. He focused on preserving their genes while encouraging inbreeding between those close to pureblood.
And it paid off.
Although the monarchy didnt reach the level desired by the First Elf, a tribal nation at a level below his expectations was born.
As the founding father of his race, he was called the 1st Elf King, although only as an honorary title. His eldest daughter, the first of his kind to inherit his blood, then became the 2nd Elf King.
But after that?
This is not the country I wanted.
The First Elf, who was closer to being a tribal chieftain than a king, said those words to his daughter, the very person that had given birth to his own child disinterestedly countless of times now.
I, who was only 20 years old at the time, could easily eavesdrop on the conversation as my mother watched my newborn sister.
O, great hero, yer of the Demon King. My eternal king, father of all elves. How can you deny what youve achieved?
My mother, breastfeeding my sister amid the hardship of childbirth, asked him who was both her father and her husband.
To this, the First Elf replied nervously.
Ha! Do you mean the children who dont follow their father? What about those who do not follow the king? Im ashamed to call them elves. They live on insects and weeds that even humans dont eat!
Thats
My mother was speechless.
But I wasnt.
Isnt that because following you has never yielded sess? Because of your low self-esteem, you are hostile to the entire human race that dominates the Fantasy Continent. Your petty selfishness disables you from knowing how to provide advanced culture and technology brought from their home, bringing even more disappointment and jealousy to our people. What else can you do as a king besides fighting and mating?
Who the hell are you?
I am Elfheim.
Not your name. Where did trash like youe from?
I am trash that looks exactly like you.
I couldnt remember much after that.
Although I was 20 years old, elves were a race that grew much slower than humans. Those within the royal family? Even more so.
I was less than one year old in terms of human physical age.
I couldnt defend against adult violence or even the power of heroes.
Now that I looked back, it was a very foolish act.
How often had I seen my older brothers and sisters die after saying what was right to that terrible tyrant?
Still, I couldnt stand it.
As the youngest, being only 20 years old, that was the first day I had a younger sibling. I couldnt stand not saying anything to a father that spat out absurd words even though he couldnt bless the birth of his new child.
It didnt end as well as I expected, but I didnt mind.
I-Im alive? Cough, cough!
I was still good as dead, though. I couldnt lift a finger, and I felt excruciating pain when I tried to force myself to move.
Looking around, I saw a familiar sight. It was our camping site, but my nomadic tribe had already moved.
I was banished and abandoned like trash.
At that moment, the earth vibrated slightly, followed by the sounds of hooves stampeding over it.
The voices of humans.
Tsk! Are we toote?
I dont think its been that long since they left.
Oh! Based on their tracks, its quite a huge elf tribe this time!
If we hurry, we can catch up with them.
They were human hunters that threatened the survival of our race, ferocious people who used the women of our kind as ythings overnight before killing them and sold the men to the ve market after capturing them.
They seemed to be after our tribe.
As long as the tyrant protected them, my mother, older brother, older sister, and younger sister would not suffer. He was powerful, after all, and still fought like the olden hero that he was. However, I, who had been abandoned, wouldnt share the same fate.
Oh, theres a baby here.
Really? Thats strange. Didnt they cherish their children because of their low fertility rate?
Look. The babys covered in blood. They must have thought this child was dead.
They abandoned their child without even burying it. As expected, theres nothing we can do about those bug-eating barbarians.
Human hunters got off from the horse and surrounded me.
They then began to decide my fate.
Its a male. Well be able to reimburse the treatment cost.
But hes too young to be in demand
I know nobles who want to tame elves as pets. And this guy, objectively, has a cute face. If we present him to the female aristocrats properly, we can sell him for a price much higher than adult elves are worth.
Lets go with that, then.
If we cant sell him, we can just raise him and do itter.
Haha! I think youre going to die of old age first.
Ah, thats right. Damn it!
And thats how I survived humanitys brutality.
Their group wasntrge enough to attack elven tribes. Instead, they lurked around them and kidnapped elves who came outte at night to do their business alone.
Satisfied with just me, they returned to their city with smiles on their faces.
After being healed, I stood on my own two feet.
Ordinary elves only started walking at my age, but I belonged to a very special family among royalty.
It seemed surprising even by human standards.
Woah. Whats up with this baby?
He stood up on his own! Im not hallucinating, am I?
Are all elven babies like this?!
They werepletely taken aback when they found out that I could speak the humannguage as well.
And our thoughts were in sync.
Sell me to a high-ranking human noble.
We can sell this baby for a very high price.
I thought I would be sold soon.
Humans were a race that admired unusual or rare things.
But their leader, a petty and broad-minded thief, took me across the sea to the most powerful country in the Central Continent.
And I was marketed to its royal family.
Ive heard rumors, but your ears are really pointy. They call you an elf in the Southern Continent, right? Do you understand what were saying?
Pardon me, but who are you?
So its really true. Can all elves talk and walk from their early ages like you?
No.
Thats fortunate. After all, its better to cull dangerous sprouts in advance.
That man was the exact opposite of my father.
Although he was weak in physical strength, he was an experienced politician who had umted enormous amounts of knowledge, experience, wealth, and reputation in a short time.
I was afraid of him.
He was much more than the First Elf despite him being a God-chosen hero.
He couldnt take care of his family even though he had lived for over 5,000 years, yet this man had everything except helplessness at a young age of fewer than 50 years. His excellent subordinates and soldiers also made up for hisck of power.
This was what human superiority meant.
They were monsters that caught up with an eon of elven progress in only a decade.
Their cooking also came as a culture shock to me, considering I had been eating bugs and insects since I was weaning.
A dish that the royal family ate
It had to be the highest level in human society.
But I, who had little experience and knowledge, misunderstood, thinking most humans ate at that level.
That was the case at the time.
The elves cant win
My father made a fuss every day, saying that he would one day be the true owner of the Fantasy continent, but that dream was illogical no matter how much I thought about it.
The Southern Continent was powerful, but the Central Continent, the center of trade of the four continents, was much more deviant.
And I had been sold to the strongest country in it.
Thisnd is a holy empire ruled by the descendants of God. I am Kyle de Lanuberg, Grand Duke of Lanuberg, the younger brother of His Majesty the Great Emperor. This is mypanion, Leah Lanuberg.
Nice to meet you
The slender beauty greeted me in a weak tone as she sat down at the table.
It hasnt been long since my son died due to difficult childbirth, leaving us terribly heartbroken. Whats your name?
My name is Elfheim.
Right, Elfheim. I hope that you, a newborn yet intelligent baby, canfort Leahs grief. Failure or rejection will result in death. Any questions?
N-no.
I used to survive by eating bugs with my brothers and sisters, but I suddenly became a person with a simr status as an adopted son of the second-inmand of the Central Continent.
Elfheim, have you been weaned?
Yes. Quite a while ago
The Grand Duke Lanuberg, busy with official duties, left as soon as he finished eating, and his wife, Leah, moved me to her room in her arms even though I could walk alone.
For the first time in my life, I realized what true tenderness meant.
It wasnt the hard breasts of my mother and sisters.
This was indescribable
He is a loving husband to me, but he is a difficult person to others. Hes also stubborn about doing what hes been told to do. Those points make him look cute and lovable since those make him more like a naughty kid.
Ah yes. haha
He was someone who casually spoke about killing and put it into practice I didnt think naughty was the right word.
Elfheim, you probably dont know about this, but in the society of nobledies, having difficult childbirth is extremely shameful and disgraceful. Thats why I cant get out of the house. Im not going to ask you to imitate my son, whos currently just rumored to be dead. I just want you to be mypanion.
Alright.
My job wasnt that difficult.
I didnt know what kind of conversation a human woman liked, but thats something Id have to figure out.
Then, shall I feed you?
But I have eaten just a while ago
Thats not what I meant.
Leah carefully untied her dress top.
And her beautiful fruits were revealed.
I thought they were huge even with her tight clothespressing them, but they were even greater with them unsealed and unprotected.
Uh I told you that I had been weaned, right?
Youre making me feel sad
Being w-weaned d-doesnt mean I cant get fed anymore, though
Before being sold to the Central Continent, I thought the only differences between humans and elves were our ear shapes and lifespans.
But it wasnt just that.
Humans were a great race that could not bepared with elves.
*
I spent 200 years in the family of the Grand Duke of Lanuberg.
The beautiful maids working in the family liked me, and I truly loved their breasts.
I was happy every single day.
But where there is a beginning, there is also an end.
The human lifespan was too short.
The Grand Duke of Lanuberg, who achieved more feats in 20 years than my father had done in 2,000 years, passed away with satisfaction after taking a look at his children and estates one after another.
Lady Leah, who taught me the greatness of female humans, gave birth to four sons and two daughters safely and lived happily ever after, following her husband.
A lot happened after that.
Brother Elfheim!
Brother El!
Lanubergs children followed me as if I were their biological older brother, and their children depended on and respected me as an uncle.
Short-lived humans suffered pain every time they had to inherit the wills of their predecessors, except for the Lanuberg family, which united around me, who never grew old yet knew more about family and territory than anyone else.
Based on that potential, I enjoyed a powerparable to that of an emperor.
My life was wonderful. I could even touch soft chests whenever I reached out my hand.
But what about my kind?
Numerous elves had been sold to the Central Continent.
This was because royal families and nobles started buying young elves and started taming them like loyal dogs after witnessing the splendid glory of Lanuberg.
That could be counted as my indirect fault.
I have to go back.
After 200 years passed, my body had be like a boy by human standards. I was able to travel for a long time by myself.
The swordsmanship and self-defense skills that I had learned from the knights of the Lanuberg family were also of great help.
My King, do you have to go?
A sessor I picked on the ck market 100 years ago grabbed my sleeve as I was about to leave.
I replied, reflecting on the past.
No matter how inferior and ugly our own race might be, I will never abandon them as my father did. And Im not a king. Im just an intelligent elf who saw the broadness of the world a little earlier than others.
No. You will be our true king. And in the future, I will be your wife. You can trust my womans intuition.
She believed in the most dangerous thing in the world, huh?
Would you like to bet?
If you be a king, marry me.
What if I win?
I will give up bing queen and be your ordinary wife.
Wait! Ill unconditionally be at a loss whether I win or lose here!
I will do my best to be the beautiful elf that Your Majesty Elfheim desires and looks forward to having. Oh! The ship is about to depart. Youll miss it if you dont hurry! Go now, Your Majesty!
Well
I went down to my hometown after an unfair deal with my sessor.
And after many twists and turns, I really became a king. A true Elf King, not an honorary title like my father and mother had.
The 3rd Elf King.
Elfheim Khan Lanuberg.
That was the childhood story of a certain elf who longed for humans.
Chapter 198 - [11th Round] Who Is It?
Chapter 198 - [11th Round] Who Is It?
After that, everything happened at lightning speed.
As soon as Thief E came in after washing up in the oasis, I shouted, Let go! and left the log cabin.
Confused, she was about to say something, but the situation was immediately settled when Shadow A responded. Son-inw, please take care of my daughter.
What happened while I was washing up?
We made a good deal.
Meeeee~
Riding the Medusa, Thief E and I went down south.
The effect of killing the Ice Dragon King Sleyas, the main culprit of global warming, and destroying her nest was already bing apparent.
The terrible heat of the desert had gone down, and it had reached a level that could be withstood. In just one shivering night, the geothermal heat would cool down, and it would turn into a more livable continent by tomorrow.
Ive never seen this kind of weather in my life on the Southern Continent.
She expressed her appreciation as the cool breeze hit her face.
The First Spirit responded with an uncle-like expression.
The Southern Continent was much cooler in the old days, young elven bumpkin girl. This desert used to be a fertilend full of earthworms. I still vividly remember the elves gathering and sharing those insects here.
Bumpkin girl? What?
We continued to go south, chatting about various things until we saw an active volcano with gray smokeing out on top of it.
This is my second time seeing this volcano.
I felt a little nostalgic.
Was that how it felt to meet a childhood friend for the first time in 60 years?
Phoenix of the Five Great Disasters.
I remembered the hardships I had to endure while luring out a giant that fought usingva cowardly.
Phoenix belonged to the giant race.
Because of their great appetite, they couldnt satisfy their hunger unless they aterge monsters or dragons.
Therefore, they mainly lived along rivers.
After all, while dragons were the only creatures ssified as arge species onnd, there were huge monsters like sailboats in the sea.
But Phoenix was an exception.
He killed the 1st Elf King, the founding father of the elves, and devoured his treasure and body to gain the power of fire and eternal life. Thats why Elfheim and I coborated with the First Hero. We had to recover the treasure called the power of fire.
It was as the First Spirit exined.
Phoenix, who became a fire giant, didnt have goodpatibility with water.
As a result, he couldnt get along with other giants living along the coast and ended up living alone.
But that onlysted for a moment.
Phoenix started a family and gave birth to numerous children, bing the founder of a new race called the fire giants, which were now widely distributed in the volcanic regions of the Southern Continent.
When volcanic activity ceased, it became difficult to eat mes, so most of their days were spent stimting and digging up the ground.
People were divided into two main categories.
Those who challenged Phoenix.
And those who obeyed him.
He was able to create fire on his own thanks to the swallowed artifact, making him nothing less than a god to the fire giants.
Should I say that he could give bread and wine to the hungry indefinitely?
Therefore, some followers worship the power of fire, but others envied him instead, seeking to take his abilities away.
In the first round, I threatened those challengers, but
Drug Hero, why did you threaten them instead of persuading them?
Why should I persuade them?
As the righteous hero, I didntpromise with viins.
Giants were a race as vicious as goblins. Not all giants were like that, but I was certain that 100% of their fiery kind were.
Threatening the mighty fire giants I cant even begin to imagine it.
The principle is simple. I fight power with power.
At that time, I had already defeated the Great Disaster of the Northern Continent and had acquired the superrge bomb called the Essence of Ice, the heart of Frost Queen Elsh.
That made it easy to threaten them, who were weak to it.
I also ignited the resentment of the natives who had lost their wives, daughters, and sisters.
I cut down the sweet talks of the natives that were saving their family and got revenge on the giants who would give them a modest reward and urged them to fight together.
There was a bit of fuss in the process, but the righteous and fair hero ended it by attacking like a cowa- making the right judgment.
Even the Medusa proved useful.
I grabbed the head of the named monster called the Serpent King and turned weak giants into stone with his petrification ability.
Long-term war wouldve proven difficult because we were up against fists that burned crops, destroying our sources of food. Even if it was a little too much, I had to finish it in a day.
From there, the true value of heroes was disyed.
I reached the front of Phoenix with courage and sacrifice, not an absurd vain emotion like love and friendship.
This time, the process was omitted further.
Who the hell are you?
The giant, whose lower body was immersed in the hotva flowing from the volcano, looked down on me with narrow eyes.
If the average height of a giant was three stories tall, he boasted an unusual size that would be about twenty stories tall.
That was due to his races nature.
Giants grew until they died.
Children born by crossbreeding with a female human became a giant if it was a male and a human if it was a female.
At first, there was no difference regardless of gender.
Such traits would only be noticeable from the age of 20 or so. Their daughters would stop growing as humans did, but their sons would continue to do so.
People with gigantism couldnt live long on Earth, my home, since their weight pressed their organs. Their bones couldnt withstand it, causing them to break.
However, the giants of the Fantasy Continent were different.
Their body became infinitely stronger in proportion to their growing size. Their bones also became harder, and their muscles more developed.
The only exception was their genitals.
Those didnt get any bigger than human size.
The Fire King Phoenix, who grew infinitely after eating the 1st Elf King and gaining eternal life, was no exception. It didnt matter if his size was equal to 50 stories or 100 stories. That size of his would remain!
Anyway.
I gave him a brief answer.
I am a hero.
Hero? How did a hero get here without anypanions?
I was asked a simr question in the 1st Round.
What did I answer?
Fire King, is there anyw that states that a hero must get help from hispanions? Listen well. A true hero, the incarnation of justice, does not depend on the power of despicable friendship!
Drug Hero, you cant just leave me out.
Yes, yes! Me too, your fiance!
Meeeee~
The First Spirit, Thief E, and the Medusa sneaked towards me.
The MAX-ss hero is giving great lines, so dont be too surprised that the extras are removed from the scene.
There were no fire giants that stood in my way since I had the cooperation of the universe.
I didnt know about the Fire King Phoenix, who spent his time growing indefinitely like a zelkova tree while stuck in this volcano. However, everything underneath the volcano had been swept away by an unexpected tidal wave.
The poor prisoners who forcibly gave birth to the giants children had probably returned home safely with its help.
? Difficulty: Wouldnt that be a bit hard?
Miss Trainee Teacher, youre pretty, but youck intelligence!
I wasnt a dreamer who fell into a vain idealism like Senior 1. I was a rational hero who could see the reality.
A little sacrifice was inevitable.
I couldnt save everyone.
You damn spirit. I am having a serious conversation with the viinous boss. Dont pull my armpit hair like crazy.
The water spirits blessed the women, allowing them to flow to a nearby vige without drowning, but I didnt think all of them would be able to return home alive.
Too many prisoners had been released for that.
If they were unlucky, they might fall on a rock and die.
I didnt have enough free time to take them all home either.
?Smile: The seniors detest you, but youre the best trainee I know, cadet Kang Han-soo.
Miss Trainee Teacher, youre also a sweet talker, huh?
A hero? I cant wait to see what kind of power Ill get from eating you.
When the Fire King Phoenix slowly raised himself, he looked at me with eyes filled with greed.
He was already huge while just sitting down and with his lower body buried in theva. It was no surprise that he was even more colossal when he stood all the way up.
No weapon in the world could suit his physique.
sh!
Except for his Fire Spear, created with the power of treasure.
mes were wrapped around a long and heavy polearm that could even cut through the highest mountain with pure physical power.
Thats bigger than the first time.
That was natural.
His ability had been boosted by at least a hundred times, after all.
In the 1st Round, he was just a big jerk, but now he was absurdly strong like other fire giants.

However, he was weaker than the Great Disaster of the Western Continent.
In the 1st Round, Fire King Phoenix was stronger. But that was the power of being so-called overgeared, caused by the treasure of the 1st Elf King.
That was the cause.
Although his abilities had been amplified, the items performance remained the same. That was why the Phoenixs fighting power was lower than Shakespeares, which was strengthened only by pure abilities.
The same applied to the remaining Five Great Disasters.
Well, it doesnt really matter.
I didnt care about any of them except for my dearrade Noebius, the Dragon King. The others were just a nuisance.
Shriek, shriek.
I created the wings of the righteous hero.
Wings that had been strengthened by the true education of the great Master Mon. It worked well against vampires. I took this opportunity to test how well it worked against giants.
Are you not a hero but the Demon King?
Seeing my dignified wings, the Fire King Phoenix murmured.
If you thought you could shake the upright heart of this MAX-ss hero with such a lie, you would be greatly mistaken!
Im being serious right now
I jumped up without further responding to his nonsense.
The fire giant, who read my movements, swung his spear.
In life, everything is decided by one blow.
What-?!
The Fire Spear quickly lost its power, my maniption ability making it difficult to control it.

There was a new fact that I learned this time.
In addition to the first skill that determined the nature of his soul, I could not touch the perfect skill.
Like the me Skill.
I took notes and made a list whenever I discovered something new.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Shriek!
The wing of the righteous hero easily struck his neck.
Fire King Phoenixs power had been neutralized due to the skills Cold and Snow Mountain, reverting him into nothing more than a big giant.
W-what the hell is this!
sh! sh! Thud!
He seemed to have many things he wanted to say, but unfortunately, I couldnt hold on for long because the maniption ability wasnt an omnipotent ability.
I summoned Boris and Shadow A to clear things up.
The two cut across the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae of the Fire King Phoenix from either side as I pierced through hisrge Adams apple with the Holy Sword Nucleon from the front.
In the end, I kicked his chin with all my might.
Bam-!
The giants head bent upwards and fell backward uncontrobly until it waspletely detached from his body.
Plop!
It fell into theva, his expression seemingly finding the whole ordeal unfair. His headless body soon crumbled away and followed it.
I hadnt been able to fight properly.
That was too easy!
Praise the great Master Mon!
All the evils in the world would be conquered under his soft, true education!
Just now, I thought I saw my mother?
Thief E seemed to be more concerned about the sudden appearance of Shadow A than the Fire King Phoenix of the Five Great Disasters, who fell in vain like nothing but a side character.
However, since she quicklypleted her duties and hid back into my shadow, her daughter didnt get to see her properly.
With this, I had subjugated two of the Great Disasters.
Ill double-check as a precaution.
I looked at my mission to see if there was a possibility of ame rematch.
? Disaster of the Eastern Continent: Defeat the Cursed King Malfart (1/1)
? Disaster of the Northern Continent: Defeat the Snow Queen Elsh (1/1)
? Disaster of the Southern Continent: Defeat the Fire King Phoenix(1/1)
? Disaster of the Western Continent: Defeat the Phantom King Shakespeare (1/1)
? Disaster of the Central Continent: Defeat the High Dragon of Oblivion Noebius (0/1)
Something was off.
Elsh in the Northern Continent and Malfart in the Eastern Continent had been beaten even though I hadnt dealt with them yet.
How did that happen?
Let me exin that, Kang Han-soo.
Huh? You are
She seemed to know me very well from the look on her face and gaze, but I wasnt sure who this woman pretending to be smart was.
Where did we meet?
Fufu! How does it feel to be reunited with your girlfriend after three years?
Girlfriend? Ah! Stick girl!
Im not stick girl! You just swung me around like a stick!
I remember now.
The student council president of the secondary education curriculum, who proudly called herself my girlfriend again, shouted as she blushed.
Chapter 199 - [11th Round] Chaos + Destruction + Oblivion =?
Chapter 199 - [11th Round] Chaos + Destruction + Oblivion =?
Im the victim, so why are you the one screaming?
That middle school student council president pretended to be my girlfriend even though she wasnt, so I had a ck bruise on my pure white heart.
It was me who should be angry.
I was putting up with it because I was a softhearted MAX-ss hero.
Youre such a strange person! Dont you know how many men in secondary education are anxious because they cant get a beautiful woman like me as their girlfriend? They stood in line for me, and thats not even an exaggeration.
Is it nice to have a lot of B-ss boyfriends waiting for their turn to conquer you? I guess you werent bored even for a single day because youre busy defending the city.
Ugh
Her eyebrows quivered, but only for a moment. She went straight to the point, changing her expression brightly as if turning over her palm.
The current students and the student council officers subjugated two of the Five Great Disasters left at the secondary education entrance exam center for Kang Han-soo. We cleared them up without a single fatality or failure! Isnt that great?
How many people were there in total?
100 people.
Thats a lot. Did you send in 50 people at the same time to defeat each one?
Uh No. We subjugated them one after another.
They werent even young elementary school students, but a bunch of trash middle schoolers. All they did was flock and kill two of the Five Great Disasters. What was she so proud of?
How shameless and despicable!
Why, though?
I heard their stupid trick worked surprisingly well. However, I hadnt yet heard the reason why they invaded and subjugated them.
This is because the number of elementary school students who are unable to adapt to the Fantasy Continent and suffer from mental illness has increased like a snowball turning into an avnche. To protect the future of our juniors and to prevent the shutdown of this education center, we, the seniors, have been deployed as well. Its overwhelming even for secondary education students, after all.
Are you their nannies?
In the first ce, they were the losers of life, marked as social misfits, even on our peaceful home.
It wasnt that strange that they couldnt adapt to another properly.
Theyined that the weakest goblin had be too strong, but my 1st Round had never been peaceful as my human rights were vited by the overwhelming powerhouse called Alex from the start.
I even spent a year like that.
My colleagues, who were meddling in every detail, grabbed my ankles and caused trouble, tormenting me all day. It wasnt once or twice that I almost died because of those idiots who worked without knowing how to fix things.
The pressure I felt at the time was enormous.
Because I thought that once I died, it would be my eternal end.
On the other hand, the heroes of this entrance exam center knew that they would be resurrected even if they died. There was no pressure at all, as it felt like ying a virtual reality game.
It was totally made for kids.
If one couldnt get used to this, theyd need to question whether their race was really human or if they were an elf picked up from under the bridge.
Were not their nannies. It was a necessary measure, even if it wasnt for the juniors. After all, this entrance exam center allocated so much power so that not only elementary education but also secondary education centers were restricted from creating ssrooms.
So you came to destroy my ssroom?
Hmm it might sound that way, depending on how you interpret it.
The middle school student council president couldnt look directly into the brilliant eyes of this MAX-ss hero, which was full of justice, and avoided my gaze like a sinner.
Why dont you focus on the Central Continent while youre at it?
To be honest, I came to Kang Han-soo to discuss the subjugation of Noebius in the Central Continent. Weve done simtions with a variety of strategies, and I think were not going to be able to do it without casualties.
Not annihtion?
Haha! Youre going too far! I acknowledge that you are stronger than individual secondary school students, but dont underestimate the power of the secondary school student council. The only reason I came to you is to offer a hand so that we can reduce the damage well sustain while giving up my prid-
Bye.
Okay.
The student council president left without saying a word.
She didnt seem to sincerely want me to cooperate with them anyway.
Who was that crappy woman from a while ago? You obviously have a fiance and also a girlfriend! Can you still proudly say that you are righteous?
Thief E stared at me with vignce.
I already said that she wasnt my girlfriend.
Do you think you can gloss over it in front of your fiance?
Do you think I care about you enough to do that?
Thats oddly convincing. It feels unpleasant.
Thief E agreed to my perfect argument and quietly stepped down.
Regardless
Theres no need to go to the Eastern and Northern Continents.
I intended to go to the Northern Continent to see my son even if there wasnt a Great Disaster there, but it seemed that this entrance exam center would be closed before I even arrived there.
It would also happen soon.
Brrrrrrrr-
The earth and sky of Fantasy trembled in fear.
The source of this wave was from the north.
I didnt even have to check it to find out.
Has it started already?
The head of the Five Great Disasters, Noebius, the Dragon King.
After being released from the time freeze of the divine objects guarded by the Holy Empire in the Central Continent, the supreme dragon finally opened his eyes.
The opening ceremony was also quite raucous.
Brang-!
A mushroom cloud soared up into the northern sky like a nuclear explosion. Shortly after that, a ck poison gas spread throughout Fantasy.
As expected from my dearrade.
It wasnt a performance that announced that he had just awoken.
It was a magnificent speech announcing the end of the world.
To whom?
Everyone.
All living things on the continent died.
*
Thud.
Thief E, who had been arguing next to me until recently, grabbed her breasts, which were swollen with breast pads, and broke down helplessly.
The Medusa, who took me this far, was no exception.
Hey.
The two didnt move or even answer my call.
Hmm Typical poison.
I was in the southernmost part of the Southern Continent.
Considering that the Dragon King Noebius was sealed by the Holy Empire that ruled the northern part of the Central Continent, then we were standing on the most distantnd from the battlefield.
And yet, they still died of poison gas.
I didnt know about the Medusa, amon monster, but Thief E was not weak. She even possessed a detoxifying skill that boosted immunity to poison.
But the result was still death.
As a hero, I couldnt help but admire the impartial judgment.
The war situation is Oh! I can go look at it right now.
The secondary school members were also students, after all.
I was able to watch the battlefield of the Central Continent vividly by using Shadow As teacher authority.
How about the 505 elementary school students?
Resurrection and death were repeated.
Even if they were resurrected in safe cities and towns, they died immediately due to the vicious cycle of poison gas. Their level and skill grades were going down rapidly.
Secondary students were certainly different.
Having resisted the poisonous breath of Noebius, the Dragon King, with prepared antidote potions and their natural abilities, they joined together to create a despicable friendship force despite their sick-chicken-like faces.
Wasnt that pretty trivial?
But this wasnt a fragile Fantasy World.
Whoops
Slips
The poison gas sprayed every time the Dragon King Noebius exhaled, and everything on the Fantasy Continent melted like soft ice cream as he dyed the world in ck.
Mountains, trees, rivers, rocks, elves, giants
There were no exceptions.
The sea also became as dark as ink.
There wasnt a single dead mermaid floating on the water, and even the smell had melted away. The fishy scent unique to the sea had also disappeared.
This is chaos, destruction, and oblivion.
The Dragon King Noebius returned the world to nothingness.
Destroying the world this year didnt mean it allowed the heroes to create a n to save it before the New Year came. If they won, the world wouldnt develop so fast that it would be easy to release it from the hell he had created.
He caused the worlds destruction as soon as the battle began!
It didnt matter whose side would win at this point. The end had already been decided before the process could even begin.
Dont just watch it, Drug Hero! Exin the situation to me!
The First Spirit who was sitting on my head urged me by tapping my forehead with her heel. Even this venomous poison seemed to be unable to do anything to her.
I wont exin it twice, so listen carefully. The despicable middle school heroes pressured the Dragon King with the power of friendship and a trap they had set up before waking him up. Noebius, who had just woken up and couldnt understand the situation, went on the defensive at once.
Oh
But things turned upside down with just a single breath of his.
The cowardly heroes, that made it hard for me to believe that I also came from the same as them, pressured the Dragon King with the power of friendship.
The Dragon King overcame this with the power of sponsorship.
All living creatures in the Fantasy world distributed their experiences to the Dragon King Noebius. From giant monsters to tiny microbes.
The power he built up through that was truly vast.
We-we can never win this
Oh, my God! There has never been a simtion like this!
President! Retreat for now- Aargh?!
The coordinates are distorted by poison gas, so I cant move through space!
I expected it, but the difference in power is too great!
The middle school students despairing thoughts didnt cease.
The powerful Dragon King Noebius became stronger as his level soared, and the despicable heroes died miserably one by one.
Holy Sword? Tactics? Pincer attack? Friendship? Love?
Nothing could stop him.
It was realistically impossible to defeat an existence that absorbed all the experience points of the Fantasy World using shallow means.
Bang! Pang! Boom!
When the Dragon King Noebius pped his wings, even the Wind Spirit couldnt withstand it, blowing it away. The steep mountain range turned into a in just by having himnd on it.
Thend melted by the poison turned into a swamp of death, and the venomous ck sky didnt tolerate any flight-capable beings except the Dragon King Noebius.
If it werent for the presbyopia that couldnt be solved even with the ability boost, the heroes would have been melted by his breath.
It didnt mean much, though, since the damage range was wide and powerful, even if it missed.
How were they struggling in the aftermath?
You viin! If you knew we were going to be annihted, you should have helped us! A pretty and fashionable girlfriend like me has asked you while putting down my pride, but you Kyaah?!
With the end of the student council president and her bodyguards who endured to the very end, the middle school students struggles also came to an end.
All thats left in this world is
Hmm Am I the only one?
It was sphemous to worry about the great Master Mon, who wouldnt even be affected by such attacks. However, aside from him, it wouldnt be unreasonable to think that I was the only real survivor of the Fantasy Continent.
Now that all the middle school students died, I couldnt look at the war situation any longer.
To know what the Dragon King Noebius was doing Hmm!?
Bang-!
Since receiving Master Mons true education, this was the first time I had no time to react properly.
Chaooo.
Hi, friend. How nice of you to say hello. Kugh.
Was this what it felt like to be hit by an aircraft carrier?
It was only one finger.
After annihting the middle school students, the Dragon King Noebius seemed to have flown straight to where we were.
Of course, it was to deal with thest hero.
He didnt seem to care about enjoying victory or resting. He was truly a steadfast king.

The ancient jet-ck dragon observed me as I was trapped in a volcano.
His angle of view was a little off due to presbyopia, but regardless, my situation wasnt good.
How about the cooperation of the universe?
Hit! Hit! Hit! Hit! Hit!
The meteorites delivered from the universe diligently struck the wide back of the Dragon King Noebius.
But how should I put it?
Was it like an iguana in a shower?
The meteorites powerful enough to bring light to the Western Continent didnt even scratch his scales and wings.
Natural disasters were meaningless to beings that werent that much different from cmities.
Lets do it anyway, my friend.
Chooo?
Although I had a clear disadvantage in the weight ss, I couldnt show weakness as therade of my dear friend Noebius.
The body size that Icked needed to be gained.
With my spirit power!
Wheeeeing~!
Love, friendship, deception, fabrication, hope. The crystallization of my ambition, abination of five powers, had descended upon this savage world.
It was called
Come. Captain Fantasy.

Chapter 200 - [11th Round] Extinction
Coooooooo-
A huge child with a golden wreath on his head was summoned. He looked like my reincarnation in the Northern Continent of Fantasy.
The gifted child had plump arms and legs, arge head, and two eyes burning like the sun, in which an innate sense of justice could be seen.
Why not a handsome muscr man, but a child?
That was because humans had thergest potential around that age. And I was a Human Spirit. I had to summon an incarnation that had the most distinct human characteristics.

It would have been nice if the race was the same as well, but unfortunately, it was unique. It reced racial traits and features.
He was the emperor that gained experience points when collecting taxes. It wasnt limited to just that, too. Tributes, bribes, servants, treasures, concubines, territories
His experience increased every time he acquired ownership or control of something. The higher the value, the more he gained.
It was one of the jobs I wanted to experience at least once. He inherited Boriss skills. His appearance was modeled after me, but she was the source of Captain Fantasys power.
Chaoooo~!
Waaah waah waah!
It even had vocal features!
A roar thundered through the ce, swiftly followed by a fierce battle between Noebius the Dragon King and Captain Fantasy.
Boom! Boom!
Two supreme beings fought amid a dark nepletely devoured by a poisonous fog.
Naturally, they were far from being equals.
They both had the same level of 9999+, but in reality, everything in the world of Fantasy had be Noebiuss source of strength, putting him in a different league.
So the day hase when I have to resort to this.
I activated the Brave skill that I had been hiding. It reduced everyones level to 1, bncing the battlefield.
I was worried that it wouldnt work on him, but the pitch-ck dragons unprecedented speed had clearly slowed down.
I did as well, but not as much as he did.
Choooo!
It wouldve been nice if he became even just a little bit flustered, but he had always hated Fantasys skills. Hence, he showed no hesitation despite his level dropping to the bottom.
His reaction was quite the opposite. Instead of relying on his skills, he actively utilized his natural strength and breathing.
There was a way for Captain Fantasy to handle that.
Waa!
In one shot, the dragon was hit with a heavy head-butt.
Even though he wasnt suited for martial arts due to his short arms and legs, his head was huge and rock-hard.
Despite being strong enough to withstand meteorites with ease, Noebius scales were crushed.
? Absurdity: No words can ever express or describe this scenario Theres nothing left for you in this world, which begs the question: what are you fighting for?
Trainee teacher, dont waste precious time on unnecessary philosophical contemtions and just cheer for me.
I didnt just fool around as the Great Monster War transpired before me.
After climbing onto King Noebius, I pierced through his body using the Holy Sword Nucleon.
I didnt think I would yield any substantial results by doing this, but I had to do something to support Captain Fantasy. That was all I could do.
Chaooo!
Waaah!
Comparing their sizes, it was like watching a fight between a Komodo dragon and a newborn infant.
King Noebius had the advantage in size and skills, but Captain Fantasy also had some tricks up his sleeves.
Chaooo!?
While attacking a cute baby without hesitation, the dragon flew to the sky, unable to hide his humiliation.
I didnt find that strange at all. Although the Dragon King furiously wed at and stabbed him, his opponent sustained no injuries at all.
Hoo hoo hoo!
The corners of my lips went up unknowingly.
Captain Fantasys strongest suit wasnt his size but his chubby body.
Like Noebius, his soft baby skin was difficult to damage.
It was nothing more than an imitation, which meant it couldnt defend against all forms of attacks, but it provided adequate protection.
That ability was just to provide him with defenses in battles.
Ch-chaooo
It was the same with King Noebius.
Although he had the capability to destroy the entirety of Fantasy in an instant, his old body was almost at his limit.
Because of the tenacious fight against Captain Fantasy, his energy and life force had been drained significantly.
If the fight continued at this rate, our victory would be secured!
Whii-ing!
Voooong!
I put Captain Fantasy in flight mode.
I thought he would have wings with a cool design like the wings of the righteous hero did, but instead, he had dragonfly wings simr to the First Spirit.
Flight speed was zero
From now on, unless it was inevitable and unavoidable, flying shouldnt be chosen.
Chaooo.
Waaah!
Chaooo.
Waaa
Boom!
Captain Fantasy approached King Noebius, stopped mid-air, and was shot down by an unidentified attack, causing him to crash helplessly.
His skin couldnt defend against it at all, proving the attack to be powerful.
Oh, I see
I found myself floating in mid-air. Noebiuss pitch-ck scales, which served as my footing, were nowhere to be found.
No, to be more precise, the colossal dragon himself disappeared.
He wasnt dead. He was far from it-
Bang!
Hit with a mind-boggling force, I copsed to the ground. I didnt even have the time to feel the pain.
Crackle!
I protected my head with the de of the Holy Sword, causing sparks to fly.
I heard a foreboding sounding from my weapon, whose de was sharp enough to cut through my skin.
It would break if I kept this up. That was what my gut was saying.
You underestimate me.
I was just trying to avoid as many aggravating circumstances as possible since I didnt want to trouble myself. But in a life-threatening situation like this, even I wouldnt just be still.
I invested experience points as fuel for the engine.
Scoot! Scoot!
The wings of the righteous hero pierced through the dragon like a spear.
I didnt expect my offensive to be effective, but it was enough to slow down his attacks, at least.
Hooph!
Barely catching my breath, I charged towards King Noebius without a moment of hesitation.
The difference in our weight ss was still apparent.
But it wasnt as overwhelming as before. Still

His body was far more superior than them.
My ambitious masterpiece, Captain Fantasy, disintegrated into the air. The Dragon Kings attack was so devastating that not even his organs remained.
Youre not even a hero of chaos, but youre quite powerful. To think you managed to push me this far.
After destroying Fantasys Central Continent and submerging half of the Eastern Continent in the sea, Noebius closed the distance and spoke in humannguage.
Cracking my knuckles, I replied.
Dont lie to me, Noebius. I know youre still hiding your true skills using the power of Brave.\''
You know?
Of course! This isnt the first time weve met.
King Noebius was hitting the limit of his life source, but I was running out of EXP points and was about to burn out.
I couldnt expect support from those around us.
Boris had fallen into an unconscious state after seeing Captain Fantasys destruction. Shadow A, Saint H, and Green Cake werent even strong enough to participate in this battle.
Hence, I thought there was no harm in dragging time by conversing with him.
I have high respect for you, but our fate is set from the beginning. Im running out of time, and you have to defeat me in order to move forward, am I right?
Well, yeah.
My dearrade seemed unwilling to end this peacefully through words. I could see it in his chaos-filled eyes.
I vowed never to use the cursed strength of the Brave until I die If I had shown it to you before, then there had to have been an appropriate reason to do so. I shall no longer hide it.
The aura of the Dragon King changed as soon as he finished his monologue.
It seemed to harbor deep resentment and anger towards someone.
However, the change in his stats would be nothing more than a minor issue.
Or so I thought
? Race: Chaos Dragonian
? Level: 1
? Job: Overlord (Conquest Fighting Spirit )
? Skills: Annihtion GG, Vigor GG, Taekwondo G, Transformation G, Deadly Venom G
? Status: Composure, Transformation, Twilight
How strong would he have be if his fragmented souls were reunited?
Its time to end this battle, human-like spirit.
There was nothing else left to do but finish this head-on. Defending was meaningless.
As soon as the Dragon King Noebiuss fist struck me, half of my body was crushed. Fantasy crumbled and disappeared soon after that.
Was he really just level 1?
How was I supposed to defeat him?
Fortunately, the energy of the universe didnt betray me.
? Disaster of the Eastern Continent: Defeat the Cursed King Malfart (1/1)
? Disaster of the Northern Continent: Defeat the Snow Queen Elsh (1/1)
? Disaster of the Southern Continent: Defeat the Fire King Phoenix(1/1)
? Disaster of the Western Continent: Defeat the Phantom King Shakespeare (1/1)
? Disaster of the Central Continent: Defeat the High Dragon of Oblivion Noebius (1/1)
I survived?
Noebiuss life ended halfway through his punch.
Half of my body had disintegrated, starting from my right shoulder down to my hip joint.
If the damage went down a little further, my sacred tower would have been destroyed.
I slowly became filled with fear as I drifted through space.
? Worried: Cadet Kang Han Soo. Are you feeling well?
Trainee Teacher, its hard to pretend to be strong right now!
My heart was still beating even though my aorta was broken and my left and right atrium were crushed, but that alone didnt exin why I was still alive.
Maybe I should approach this from a fantasy point of view, not from a scientific one?
Slurrrr-
While pondering about it, the corpse of the friend who struck me began to dissolve, almost as if it was being melted by poison.
That much wasnt surprising. That was how monsters returned to nature, after all.
The problem was what came next.
? Race: Universal Human Plus
? Level: 381
? Job: Brave (Everyone = Level 1)
? Skills: Gifted ZZZ, Divinity Z, Fabrication Z, Immortality MAX
? Status: Holy Sword, Holy, Dragon Scales, Restoration
A new status had been added.
Dragon Scales.
This time, he didnt leave me empty-handed.
But for now, I wouldnt want to meet him again. Destroying the rendered the test useless.
At that moment, I received something.
? You havepleted the entrance examination for the secondary education course.
? Hero, did you enjoy your adventure?
It was the usual system message, but I really wanted to ask it how a hero drifting through the universe could be happy.
? The path of a true hero is indeed perilous. However, many rtionships supported you through your journey. You did not lose hope and lose track of your goal. You grew to learn friendship and love, and now, atst, you are floating in space. Please ept our condolences!
Hey, wait a minute! What did you just say
?Should we take a look at your grades?
Chapter 201 - [12th Round] Entrance
Chapter 201 - [12th Round] Entrance
? Please check your report card thoroughly!
? Name: Kang Han Soo
? Combat Power: MAX
? Achievements: SS
? Reputation: FFF-
? Personality: FFF-
? Note: The whole world has been destroyed. Do you have anything to say about this?
Of course, I did!
I witnessed the true form of the Dragon King Noebius, also known as the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion. I was able to fight against his second transformation, the Chaos Dragonian, but I couldnt do anything against him the moment he released the power of Brave.
Even though he was level 1, one blow from him destroyed the entire.
If his level wasnt reduced, wouldnt he have destroyed the entire sr system? G-rank skills were way beyond my understanding.
?You have been admitted into ss F.
?Reason: You havepleted all objectives, but a beautiful world full of hopes and dreams was destroyed in the process. That ending is absolutely uneptable under any circumstances!
That was unfair!
The intervention of careless secondary school students ruined all my ns. Even the 505 elementary students blocked my path since they couldnt adapt properly.
They awakened King Noebius, effectively killing all life on the Fantasy Continent. Until then, my reputation and personality had been well received since I helped the natives like a pushover.
? Beginning re-examination.
Oh? Would they really take the circumstances into ount?
?You are admitted into ss F.
I shouldnt have expected anything from them.
It was said that the result of the entrance examination determined ones designated ss. The higher the ss, the easier it was to graduate.
ording to the message, I was ced in the lowest ss. I could already feel a headacheing in.
? A professional teacher has handed over your life record.
? A professional teacher is reading your life records.
? A professional teacher is reading your life records.
? A professional teacher is reading your life records.
? A professional teacher is reading your life records.
? There is no suitable teacher for this assignment.
The faculty members had probably familiarized themselves with my biography, judging from the system messages I received.
A light then enveloped my body as I freely drifted in space. That was the return sign.
I could resist it, but indefinitely drifting in the universe wasnt ideal.
The President of the Universe would wee it, though.
I waited calmly.
? Moving to ss F.
Failing the entrance exam due to unreasonably biased judgment, the MAX-ss Hero entered the secondary education course.
***
Wee, Hero from the future!
Oh, its not Lanuvel.
A middle-aged man in a typical wizard attire,plete with the pointed hat and a staff in his hand, greeted me as I appeared in the middle of a spatial transportation magic circle.
Who was he?
Lanuvel is an archeologist that explored the dungeons with other Heroes, and I am the wizard who manages the pce tower. Im tasked with summoning heroes that know about the future and have information about the Fantasy Continent from parallel worlds.
Future?
Thats right.
What year is it now?
The wizard quickly provided all the necessary information that I might want to know about.
As it turned out, several Heroes had already been summoned
Roughly getting the gist of the situation, I burst intoughter.
So this is how theyre recycling the primary education course?
I had gone back in time four years before my initial call.
The first hero to have been summoned here was summoned six years ago, and since then, four more had been transported. I was the sixth.
It seemed they called forth one hero every year.
In the elementary education course, the locals looked down on newly summoned heroes. However, we were treated differently in the secondary education course, considering we had knowledge about the future and retained the skills we acquired throughout the entrance exam.
We were beings that couldnt be ignored.
Now I felt more like a legendary hero that was chosen by God.
The way they treated us seemed to have improved, considering not everyone could get into secondary education.
That was the reason behind the difference in the dormitories during the Festival of Heroes.
? Race: Human
? Level: 304
? Job: Wizard (Age = Mana )
? Skills: Sorcery A, Mana B, Magic B, Interpretation B, Calction C
? Status: Exhaustion, Fatigue
Although it was hard to assume anything just by looking at the Wizards abilities, the power of the natives and monsters in secondary education courses had probably significantly increasedpared to the ones in the elementary education course.
It was also a given that secondary school students had superior abilities. That was thew of nature.
It was quite obvious that transcendental skills were considered the norm here.
Hero, have you ever seen an angel?
Yeah.
I didnt just see one. I touched one.
Cough, cough! Really?! Did you really see an angel?! The heroes before you said they had never seen one!
Im sort of a big deal.
Then there is no need to exin the city of angels floating in the skies of the Holy Kingdom. No, Id actually like to hear from you the structure and future of the city.
Hmm?
Whats wrong?
Its
The fact was I had only met angels during the Festival of Heroes. I hadnt seen any of them in Fantasy.
? Description: The citys name is El Mndo, which means a star that teaches angels in ancientnguages. Young angels receive military training there before traveling to the south of the Central Continent, where theyll be monitoring the demons residing there. El Mndo can be considered a military school.
Thanks for the exnation, Trainee Teacher!
I didnt expect her to follow me to the secondary education course.
? Greeting: Im d to see you again. It is a little annoying that my senior colleagues entrusted you to me, though. That is often the case in elementary school, but there has never been a case where a teacher took charge of a cadet in secondary school. Im the first one!
Thats great, but are you allowed to share such information with me?
? Secret: Of course, its a secret. I shouldnt do this, but please think of it as a substitute for not being taught by more skilled senior instructors. But dont expect it too often! You still need to follow the school rules!
Of course, pretty Trainee Teacher.
Okay, listen. The name of the city is El Mndo, which means the star where Master Mon resides in ancientnguages. Angels are trained by Master Mon there before fighting demons in the south. Its sort of a training ground for angels.
Woah! Whos Master Mon, though?
Thats all for now. Be nice to me if you want to learn more.
Any information about Master Mon, the person who turned ordinary people into superhumans in a short time, was extremely expensive. I couldnt just give it to others for free.
The wizard answered politely. Got it.
I moved to the bedroom of the pce, guided by a beautifuldy called by the wizard.
She came in as soon as I called her to see if she was waiting at the tower entrance. She wasnt a maid, judging by her gorgeous dress and fair skin. She was probably a noble. Each of her movements was as gentle as a swan.
Her tone was also serene.
You can stay in this room while youre at the pce. If you require any assistance, please pull the rope next to the bed. The maid or I will be sure to tend to you. You may do so, even at night.
This view is beautiful.
The valley, which was deep and narrow, was indeed covetous. The scenery outside my window was definitely amazing.
You can go.
Young-ae, the nobledy, walked out in a modest manner despite having flush red cheeks.
I could immediately see the difference in the way the primary and secondary education courses treated heroes.
Well, then
It was time to check my physical condition.
To prevent any setback duringbat, I needed to confirm the changes that happened during regression first.
I started with my skills.
? Race: Arc Human
? Level: 359
? Job: Hero (500% EXP)
? Skills: Divinity A, Invention A, Immortality B, Endurance B, Physical Strength B
? Status: Holy Sword, Good
The effect of the Gifted ZZZ was well hidden in a normal way, but that wasnt what I wanted to check.
I looked at my real power.
?Race: Universal Human Dual Core
? Level: 359
? Job: Brave (Everyone = Level 1)
? Skill: Gifted ZZZ, Divinity Z, Fabrication Z, Annihtion MAX
? Status: Holy Sword, Holy, Dragon Scale
As the race name had been prolonged, new ethnic characteristics had been added, and the number of high-ranking skills seen for the first time had increased significantly.
I decided to look at it one by one.
? Type: Race
? Name: Universal Human Dual Core
? Rank: Beginner
? Ability 1: Control the Universe to the extent of a particle.
? Characteristic 1: Loved by the Universe
? Race 1: Unconditional Spirit
? Race 2: Unconditional Legend
It was also worth noting that the obsession of the Universe had turned into love. A more absurd racial characteristic had also been added.
Unconditional Legend.
I checked the word Legend.
? Legend: Never perish for as long as your name hasnt disappeared from the memory of the living.
It was tantamount to a deration that I would never disappear.
There were specific conditions for me to stay alive, but many people knew my name, starting with my parents on Earth.
Losing my body or being sealed was more miserable than death itself, but it wasnt all bad. That meant I was perfectly immune to mental attacks that directly hit my soul.
I liked it.
I thought I was going to die this time
The transformation of my friend, King Noebius, was horrendous. I almost died helplessly.
Thats why I was desperate for this life insurance.
I was really worried.
Shadow A. You really followed me?
A slim yet sensual elf assassin popped out of my shadow like a ghost. She smiled.
Thats why Z-ranked skills and above are called transcendental. Such skills are imprinted in the soul and are freed from the systems interference. G-rank or God rank essentially enters the realm of deities. Divine skills begin to show from there. They be the users absolute power, oneparable to the power of the gods.
I could tell just by remembering King Noebiuss third form.
Z-ranked skills could break mountains and separate oceans. G-ranked ones disregardedmon sense and destroyeds.
It was over as soon as it was cast!
There was no way for a hero to protect the world against it.
But Ive earned something.
I activated Dragon Scale, which I received from him.
Sluuuuur.
Oh
I got pitch-ck scales on my skin.
I was covered from head to toe with pitch-ck scales that didnt interfere with my movements.
It came with new skills rted to it.
? Type: Skills
? Name: Kings Wrath
? Grade: G
? GG:?
? G: All scales are reversed.
? ZZZ: The scale on the neck amplifies rage.
? ZZ: The scale on the neck creates rage.
? Z: The scale on the neck umtes rage.
? SSS: The angrier you are, the higher the uracy.
? SS: The angrier you are, the higher the chance of pulverizing the opponent.
? S: The angrier you are, the stronger your prative strikes.
? A: The angrier you are, the stronger your chopping blows be.
?B: The angrier you are, the more heightened your senses be.
?C: The angrier you are, the higher your morale rises.
?D: The angrier you are, the longer your life bes.
?E: The angrier you are, the crazier you get.
?F: The scales of the neck are reversed.
The effects were so great that I was rendered speechless.
The skill Kings Wrath was rarely found in weak and small dragons. Even if one of them had it, the rank would be far too low.
This skill was more frequently found in evil reptiles such as Hydra and Basilisk. However, all of the dragons I had seen so far did not exceed the SS level.
What about the Dragon King, Noebius?
He didnt have it either.
Thats strange.
I acquired the Kings Wrath skill by absorbing the scales of King Noebius, who didnt have it. Not only that, I even acquired it at G-rank.
Hey, hero?
Shadow A, whose eyes were wide open, carefully called me with her thick lips.
Speak. Dont point your finger at me.
If it were the usual me, I would have broken or cut Shadow As finger in half. I was in a good mood, though, so I decided to let it go.
Youve lost all your hair.
Huh? HUUUH?!
Chapter 202 - [12th Round] This is Pride
Chapter 202 - [12th Round] This is Pride
It was a very simple principle.
Even the pores of my skin were covered with scales.
But scales werent armor. It wasnt like a helmet that kept the hair inside. It actually pushed out the hair that was in the way.
It wasnt just the hair on my scalp. The ones on my chest and armpits, which were symbols of my masculinity, had also been blown away.
I reached over my pants in a hurry.
My little member, covered in dark scales, looked like an armored tank, which looked pretty good, but the thick camouge was gone.
This was a tragedy
Sluuuur.
Even after releasing the dragon scales, my hair didnt recover immediately.
That was because my hair, which was tougher than thin wires, didnt be that way just by letting it grow naturally.
Iron, phosphorus, amino acid, cysteine, mnin pigment, biotin, finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, vitamin B, vitamin C, omega-3
It contained a lot more substances than just vitamins!
First, I have to regain my normal hair
Recalling theposition of ordinary hair stuck in the corner of my memory, I was able to quickly patch up my baldness and my barren hill.
It took about a minute each to create since it was artificial maniption, not natural hair loss, and each strand required high mastery to craft.
It took an entire hour topletely regain my hair!
It truly tested my patience.
Im d only Shadow A and I are here.
I didntugh, hero.
I know.
I really didntugh.
Really?
Yes, really! So dont look at my neck appetizingly! And I think you look good without hair. You had such a manly atmosphere.
Shadow A ttered me.
Were elves different from humans?
? Appearance: WowI didnt know cadet Kang Han Soo was this handsome. There was an old saying that stated the one who won without fighting was the one who was strong. Even bald, youre still among the top three most handsome men I know. The scruffy feeling of the hair Oh my! It doesnt matter how cold your personality is. I think girls will line up for you.
Theplement of the Trainee Teacher was a bit excessive.
? Surprise: You dont believe me even when Ipliment you. Ill forgive you because youre a handsome man who passed even my high standards. Hmmph!
I wasnt even 30 years old yet, much less 100 years old. How could I start losing hair?
This was simply uneptable.
Its better to keep Kings Wrath hidden.
I didnt want to use it unless I was left with no other choice.
There was no need to clean up the fallen strands.
Master Mons teachings maintained them, but the moment they fell off my body, they had already lost their ability to maintain their molecr structure.
With this, traces of hair loss werepletely gone.
I decided to continue the disrupted status check due to the shock and fear from the side effects of Kings Wrath.
Im okay, my lord.
Me too, Father.
The summoned Saint H and Green Cake were alright. Boris, who still had to deal with the damage from thest battle-
Huh?
As usual, the First Spirit couldnt stand on her own. After being called, she screamed and flopped to the floor, as if she had fallen from the bed on which she was sleeping peacefully.
Herplexion was unhealthy.
I didnt know how long it would take, but it was impossible to use her as part of my martial strength in that state.
The First Spirit is out.
Hero! Eliminating noble spirits as you wish- huh?! Your heads as pointed as thorns! What happened while we were apart?!
My hair was still short, making me look like a hedgehog. The First Spirit appeared above my head, rubbed her bottoms on it, and quickly flew away, feigning pain.
I guess the wings on her back werent for decoration after all.
Ppyong! Ppyong! Ppyong! Ppyong! Ppyong! Ppyong!
Then came the crowned spirits. Land, fire, wind, water, soul.
All five crowned attributes had gathered. They settled in my armpits and groin as if they werepeting for territories.
They then fought a fierce territorial battle.
They pinched and tickled each other without any mercy. When they found themselves in a disadvantageous position, some allied together and coborated cowardly.
How did you get here?
Shouldnt she be stuck in the sewers of the elven kingdom?
Whoa! Thats a very good question, hero. Dont underestimate my addiction to your scent!
The First Spirit, sitting on my shoulder for a quick stop, looked smug. Hmmm. Is it simr to Shadow A?
Simr, but also different. I rely on natural forces, not skills! I have appointed the children as my representatives, or as the King, and this time, we designated the Drug Hero as the Rook.\''
Its like castling.
Castling.
It was a move in chess.
For as long as the King and Rook had never been moved, they could be switched in such a way that would put the King in a safe corner and move the Rook to the center.
I remembered that as a child, I didnt know the rules of chess and even argued with my father about how many squares I could move the pieces.
Thats a good example. Its simr to castling. The guardian could only be designated once, so no matter how rough the situation became, we kept saving it until now. But now that your characteristics have changed after returning, we quickly appointed one.
Legend?
Yes, I didnt really have any other choice. Having been exposed to you for a long time, my body can barely hold on without you. These children will soon be under your influence too.
Dragging the children that she loved into the pits of addiction like herself It was aplete lie that that spirit was pure.
Whats left is the Holy Sword.
A weapon designed to kill the Demon King Pedonar if he ever escaped the Fantasy dimension.
But even this great sword could not bear the third form of King Noebius, which reached the level of God. It was almost broken in the process.
Was the Demon King too weak?
Or maybe my dear friend was just too strong.
Bbyong!
The summoned Holy Sword, Nucleon, was in very good condition.
The crack on the de had disappeared, and it became sharp-edged again, being able to pierce and sh through anything as if nothing had happened to it before.
I was done with the inspection.
What remained was the purpose of the Secondary ss.
The elementary education course focused on defeating the demon lord.
What about the secondary education course, then, Trainee Teacher?
? Exnation: Working together with the angels to fight the Demon Lord and the Five Great Disasters. There is no time limit, but as time goes by, the enemys army will start growing like a snowball, making it more and more difficult to defeat them. Kang Han-soo has already experienced it, right? The system bug caused the rapid increase in the breeding and birth rate of the demons and even caused Luke to run away.
I remembered it well.
No matter how much time passed, the power of the Demon Lord and the Five Great Disasters didnt strengthen in the Elementary Course. However, the Devil King Pedonar interfered with the system and raised the reproduction rate of the devil tremendously.
Have you fixed that bug?
?Reluctant: I dont know, to be honest. The seniors in the system said that itd been fixed, but new demons still continue to be born. Theres a rumor being passed around that people shouldnt expect anything good from them.
So something like that was going on! I had no idea.
By ignoring the sincerity of the demons who built the line of defense or by using defenseless airways, they infiltrated into the Demon Lords castle.
I didnt care if there was a new demon.
I shared the view of Shadow A.
I had no problem activating the skill Teacher even in this ce. Thanks to this, I was able to get a glimpse of the heroes situation that went on an adventure with Lanuvel.
Alright, heroes! Its done! Lanuvels special!
A delicious meal served with Lucifer
Lanuvel is very cute today as well.
Oh?! Alex! Thats my spoon!
The location was the Western Continent of Fantasy. Its the only ce that was covered with giant flies.
A hero with two sons and three daughters joined Lanuvel and Alex, who started from the Central Continent. A dark knight recruited from the Western Continent could also be seen.
Their numbers were too small.
Saint A, Aqua, Sylvia, Nasus, Imperial Princess
What about all of them?
?Assumption: Theres a reason they are in F ss. Judging by the fact that they do not have an angel in their group, they did not manage to unite with the angels from El Mndo. With this group, they will fail 100% against the Five Disasters.
It was very rare for Trainee Teachers to assert themselves confidently. That made me curious.
?Exnation: The First Heros body gained five different scars from the Five Great Disasters. Theyre powerful and lethal. Their attacks were sealed in the elementary course because they were too dangerous, but not in the middle school course. Anyway, it couldnt be stopped unless El Mndos angels were of a certain rank.
It was quite an interesting story.
Plus, I was curious about the secondary school days of the Trainee Teacher.
? Shy: I messed up my entrance exam because I couldnt get any female colleagues except for the Saint. I went to C ss and had a hard time. I was bullied after rejecting the confession of the leader. It was too much. I have standards too If El Mndo hadnt helped the angels, I wouldnt be here.
Cheer up, Trainee Teacher! So what do you think of me?
? Puzzled: The purpose of the secondary school course is to learn about the angel race and gain their trust and cooperation. If the only objective is to eradicate the Five Great Disasters, for you, Kang Han Soo, all this would be unnecessary. You already possess enough divinity to stop their lethal move.
I agreed.
? Type: Skills
? Name: Divinity
? Grade: Z
? ZZ: Divine Retribution (34%)
? Z: Unconditionally Divine.
? SSS: Receive worship.
? SS: Perform divine reflections.
? S: Ignore normal attacks.

? C: Use divine protection.
? D: Bestow a blessing.
? E: Resist Dark Energy.
? F: Use divine attack.
King Noebiuspletely ignored my Divinity Z, but I didnt think the Five Great Disasters could.
The Trainee Teacher checked it out a little while ago.
Additional things have been added to the secondary curriculum.
But the role of the hero remained unchanged.
I had to fight for the innocent and the civilians.
Drug Hero, will you go straight to the Northern Continent to see your son?
Hmm
Originally, we were going to meet at the entrance examination hall, but because of the secondary ss students intrusion, that hope had died.
But it didnt agitate me.
My son, birthed by the Sword Princess, was part of the Fantasy continent. He was one of thousands or tens of thousands of my clones.
Although I wanted to meet up with him at least once, I couldnt worry about the smallest details at all times.
Drug Spirit.
I dont expect you to call me by my name, but you should at least call me the First Spirit.
Drug Spirit.
What do you want?!
She started it first, but now she was the one who was upset.
What do you think of me now?
A vicious hero who treats innocent spirits to drugs and enves them.
What about from a human perspective?
You are a great being that every human being should worship.
You are the strictest but also the sweetest hero in the world.
The silent Saint H and Green Cake stepped in. But the two were also very biased and didnt do much to help.
Shadow A gave me a wry smile.
They know you as the hero before the regression, but the natives dont. You are just the sixth hero to be summoned. One of the six chosen by God. That would be the most urate expression.
Then
That was the most objective analysis so far. Thanks to her, I had decided on what to do.
Drug Hero, what are you going to do?
I should see my son first, of course. But Im not going in blind and empty-handed. Right now, just as Shadow A has said, I am just a bully in this world.
I would be an emperor to make a wonderful first impression on my son.
?Confused: Arent you putting too much on your shoulders, considering that you dont really care about your son?
That wasnt it, Trainee Teacher.
My mind was very fuzzy at the moment.
Ill save face if I get rid of my greed and unite the Central and Northern Continents.
Chapter 203 - [12th Round] Fair and Square!
Chapter 203 - [12th Round] Fair and Square!
Previously, I subdued demon worshippers who held important positions in countries with the help of Dark Energy.
But now that I had used Dark Energy to raise my Gifted ZZZ, there was nothing left for me but good old violence.
I was still a righteous hero, though. I wouldnt result in cheap tactics like a coup detat.
I pulled the string next to my bed.
The noble who guided me here came in instead of the maid. Her lips broke into a bright smile.
What do you need, hero? A bath? Meal? Or Me?
Baths were unnecessary.
The water spirit attached to my armpits maintained my hygiene. Even doing theundry had been eliminated.
I wasnt sure about meals.
My digestive system, which was no different from a bio-nuclear power nt, was very efficient. Still, I expended a lot of energy, so I did my best to eat regrly.
But that wasnt my priority right now.
I need you.
Oh, my God!
Did she really not expect me to be so aggressive? The noblewoman, whose cheeks turned red in an instant, faltered.
But only for a moment.
As expected from an aristocrat, she immediately pulled herself together.
With a charming yet innocent look, she slowly approached me and gentlyid her hand on my chest.
I pulled the noblewoman, whose slender waist was further joined by a corset, with my right arm.
She pretended to lose bnce and fell on my broad chest.
I have a favor to ask of you.
Anything.
Her hot breath tickled my ears. The spirit sitting on my shoulders didnt seem aware of what was happening.
Spread the rumor that I am the rightful heir of this country.
YeYes?
I am no ordinary hero. The blood of the great emperor who unified the Northern Continent of Fantasy flows through my body. You believe me, right?
Of course, my hero.
She answered politely and distanced herself from me a little.
Then she held the ends of her dress gently in both hands and greeted me gracefully.
I pledge my loyalty to the Holy Hero.
Thank you.
Yes, thank you so much!
Raising the skill Fabrication proved useful despite the difficulty it put me through!
?Type: Skills

There was no convenient option to turn into a King, but turning into the Kings family was just as good.
Of course, fabrication wasnt all-powerful.
The greater the lie, the higher chance of failing.
However, I was loved by the universe. Even if I only had a 0.1% chance to seed, it was as good as 100%.
The effect of Divinity Z also helped me in this regard.
Oh, I forgot.
A spirit had joined me. Since the First Spirit appointed him as a king, should I refer to him as the King of Soul Spirits?
In my eyes, he was just a pervert who enjoyed sexual harassment, but as someone who didnt wait for orders before working, I held him with high regard. I decided to call him the Spirit King.
And the rest of them? They should work hard to earn it.
Will you help me?
Now that I know the truth, I can no longer take your kindness and consideration for granted. Do not ask, but pleasemand me.
Then, bring me the Queen of this country.
I didnt bother exining how.
After all, she swore allegiance to me. Regardless of the consequences, she would carry out any of my orders.
Of course, I didnt intend to use her and abandon her.
After all, that was something only a coward who couldnt trust hispetent subordinates would do.
Yes, my lord.
She wasnt even a powerfully built knight, so this task might be too much to ask of her, but nobledies in aristocratic society werent as simple as they might seem.
They were driven by certain reasons, after all.
Unless it was significant enough to influence the world, aristocrats gave reasons for killingmoners and ves, no matter how far-fetched the reason.
At such moments, the nobledies demonstrated their true strength.
For the family, for the husband, they were adept at using whatever connections they had built from a very young age.
Knock knock.
It wasnt long until the Dumpling Kings Queen was in my bedroom.
Her face, considered to be one of the most beautiful in the Dumpling Kingdom, was filled with difort, which was understandable.
Such an urrence wasntmon, after all.
As Shadow A said, it was disrespectful for a summoned hero toe onto the mother of a country. Even more, she was a married woman who couldnt juste and go in a males bedroom as she pleased.
If the maids couldnt keep their mouths shut, it would turn into a scandal. I knew it fairly well.
My fantasy career was already 60 years old, after all. Theres not a chance that I wouldnt know.
Why were you looking for me, hero? If its not important, I wont let this slide.
Theres nothing to worry about. I have very important business, my Queen.
The process of persuasion was the same as what I did with the female before.
Still, I couldnt just ignore the fact that the Queen was a demon worshipper. I didnt know if she had the skill, but I knew a day woulde when she would betray me due to the orders of the demons.
I either had to eliminate her or have her submit to me. I executed my decision.
Oh?! This unpleasant power
Thats right, my Queen.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Drawing out the Dark Energy that had permeated the depths of her bones caused her to fall onto the ground in pain.
The maid that followed her like a shadow couldnt escape the same fate.
Nobody came to their aid.
That was because this ce was well sound-proofed to protect the privacy of the pces guests.
Their suffering didnt take long. Their faces, dripping with cold sweat, had started to calm down.
She knelt before me.
Ah, Holy Hero!
Greetings, your grace!
I made an incredible coboration between Divinity Z and Illusion Z! On top of that, the love of the universe eliminated the possibility of failure.
It was like eating a baby dragon.

But my work wasnt finished yet.
Yeong-aepleted her mission by bringing the queen to my workce (bedroom), so theres no need to worry, but the role of the queen representing and leading the females of the dumpling kingdom was just beginning.
? Race: Human
? Level: 164
? Job: Queen (Favor Captivity )
? Skills: Charm A, Elegance B, Viciousness C, Sociability D, Dark Energy E
? Status: Irritation, Anger, Caution
That was her former stats. Being deprived of Dark Energy, the Queen received a big blow to the skills associated with youth and beauty.
If the finest beauty in the kingdom returned to the kings bedroom with a pale face and were rejected, my ns would be ruined.
She needed an upgrade.
? Race: Human
? Level: 104
? Specialization: Queen (Favor Captivity )
? Skills: Enchant A, Seductiveness A, Femininity B, Captivity C, Coquetry D
? Status: Submission, Excitement, Blessing, Strengthening, Baptism
With the help of my skills, including Divinity Z, I had elevated her abilities.
Originally, I could not change her main skill, Charm A, but I seeded in dragging it down the second time around. It was then changed to Enchant A, which could be used to captivate a man.
Was the level ofpetition too high?
Queen.
Yes, my Lord.
Make the false king a ve to your love. Be my eyes and ears until I get the support of these foolish people and be the true ruler of this country.
I will put all my body and efforts to make sure your deed is done.
The Queen and the maid stepped down.
Now that I had the Queen, thedy of the dumpling kingdom, on my side, it was safe to say that all women in this country were my allies.
Of course, not right now.
That was because it took a considerable amount of time for her to expand her influence.
Drug Hero, I have a question.
What is it?
Wont it be simpler to brainwash the king who looks like a dumpling? I dont understand why you need to go about this in such an inconvenient way.
Because Im a hero.
Oppression through violence had consequences.
Even if the king were turned into a puppet, the country would be a mess if nobles and knights didnt follow. If that happened, much more time and effort would have to be spent than I would now.
I learned that from my experience in the first round.
After colleagues eliminated the king or chief with who they disagreed with, they ruined the country with a military regime disguised as justice.
It had always been me who had to clean up after them.
Humans are tooplicated
and Spirits are too simple.
Its a terrible vertical hierarchy.
I just didnt say much because I was on top of it. If I were at the very bottom or even in the middle of it, then I would definitely have already staged a coup.
Drug Hero, if its a coup, then its already happened! Those fingers and drugs have enved the spirits. But you didnt even realize what you did! Do you even have a conscience?
You submitted to me voluntarily. Dont fabricate the truth.
I dont want to hear that from you.
What did I-?
Agitation F Agitation D
I sacrificed this skill, but now I have created it anew. Its rank was beginning to rise at high speeds.
It looked like the queens already working.
Im going to the neighboring Holy Kingdom.
Already?
Surprised by the speed of a MAX-ss Hero, Drug Spirit?
I would y fair and square with Agitation and Fabrication.
***
I wasnt leaving the Dumpling Kingdom behind.
Now that I had decided to unify the Central Continent and build a huge empire, I would rule thisnd someday. If there were any internal problems, such as devil worshippers or secret associations, they would be obstacles in my pathter on.
However, I no longer needed to worry about the Dumpling Kingdom.
Seems like the people I got working for me have been working hard.
The five heroes that had been summoned before me had already taken care of its problems. There were five of them, so all that was left for me to do was to clean up small issues.
Of course, that wasnt counting the Devil-worshipping Queen.
To punish the Queen who was favored by the King, I would overthrow the entire country as I did in the second round.
But Alex, the loyal Commander of the Royal Knights, would never support this approach. In other words, I had to remove him first before I could get to the Queen.
It was even harder since he was a precious colleague.
Drug Hero, how are you going to take over the Holy Kingdom? I know you have your nastybo, but the knights and saints who serve as the Kingdoms backbone are given special protection. You cant break through their mental defense.
I know.
I was a hero with 60 years of experience! Of course, I knew!
How could she think I knew less than some spirit that had been previously imprisoned in a dirty sewer?
Youre the only being to ever exist that ignores and humiliates the noblest and most beautiful spirit in the universe. Divine punishment is fearsome, Drug Hero. The heavens are on your side Or is it?
The First Spirit trembled as if it was chilly
We moved quickly to the Holy Kingdom. The Dumpling King readily paid the travel expenses even without the persuasion of the Queen.
However, it felt inadequate going alone without the surveince from Lanuvel and Alex.
The Queen used her powers at that moment, allowing us to arrive in the Holy Kingdom in an instant.
Saintess A, who received the message in advance, was with Hero T, the strongest in the kingdom. They were on standby.
Hero T. His name was Tomato.
I remembered clearly since Luke was the one who taught me that.
Wee to the Holy Kingdom. As you may already know, I am a saintess who is much loved by God, and this is Commander Thomas, a Holy Knight, the hero of the Holy Kingdom. You have seen the future, havent you? If so, then you should already know that you must first pass the Holy Sword test before anything else.
Saintess A looked up at me with sharp eyes and questioned me. Her doubt was understandable.
However, like the First Spirit, this little saintess seemed to belittle a heros role too much.
An unprepared hero wasnt a hero. They were just social misfits.
Bbyong!
Saintess, are you ready to be tested by a hero?
The Holy Sword, Nucleon.
What else is there to say?
Chapter 204 - [12th Round] Camping
Chapter 204 - [12th Round] Camping
The Holy Kingdom also had a king, but he felt more like a high-ranking official rather than a leader.
He couldnt enforce the Earthen concept where a gods believers should obey the persons words whose thoughts were closest to them since the Fantasy God was always watching and loved to interfere.
That was why authority over the kingdom was divided.
The Fantasy God worked in such a way that if Character A couldnt cope with his duties, she would transfer it to Character Bs hands. If Character B couldnt do it, then shed pass it to Character C If she couldnt find anyone to do it, then shed simply turn a passer-by to Character D and give it to them.
Because their spineless deity did as she pleased, the Holy Kingdom was divided into five major factions.
The Royals, filled with nobles and officials that worked together with the King as the center.
The Knights, which Commander Tomato led.
The Saintess Faction,posed of religious heroes that honored Saintess A.
The Shrine, a group of selfish priests and believers.
The Neutral Faction, or essentially the people who stubbornly followed nothing but the oracles.
A Heros Test? No, before that
This is the Holy Sword.
Ive never seen that design in literature, but theres no doubt that its the Holy Sword. As a saintess, I exist to aid the hero who wields that de in their adventures. It is my duty to serve you.
Saintess A made a solemn deration.
Tomato began to express his rage, but based on my previous experiences, I knew that he wouldnt be able to influence her decision.
However
You acknowledge me, but I havent acknowledged you yet.
Is this about the Heros Test? I havent even heard of one that saints like us have to take. If there were such a thing, God would have told me
Thats only natural. I just made it recently.
Saintess A was bewildered. Regardless, I continued.
Ill be the judge if you can be useful to me.
Ha! I wasnt going to say anything, but Ive had enough. I cant believe the Holy Sword is in the hands of such a despicable person. Fine. I shall prove that you dont deserve a saint like me.
The MAX-ss Hero started a fair deal with Saintess A.
***
We left to explore dungeons.
Filled with EXP and treasures, such ces were the most appropriate when testing the Saintesss value.
The Fantasy Continent had a lot of them.
Mountains, rivers,kes, grasnds, cemeteries, viges, cities
Each terrain had at least one dungeon. No matter how small the town was, there would be one, like a Slime-infested Warehouse.
The natives didnt clear them on their own.
Why?
Because dungeons generated great profits.
No matter how trivial a dungeon was, it could be a great adventure for neers and half-baked adventurers. In order to explore them, they would spend money to eat and sleep at the vige inn near it, perhaps also pay a visit to the cksmith or the vige store.
But the dungeon we were about to go to was different.
Its monsters were on a different level, and its terrain was perilous. No one had ever been able to conquer it.
Chimera Haven S.
It was popted with monsters that were artificially created by merging different beings. It was the third most treacherous chimera dungeon I had ever found.
Drug Hero, are you cheating on me?
What nonsense are you talking about?
There were three saintesses on the Fantasy Continent, and a hero could only be apanied by one.
Three would be possible if they dragged them around on a leash like dogs. Otherwise, it was usually impossible.
They had the same role, so it wasnt even rational to have more than one.
Rather thanpeting with their fellow saintesses, they preferred to save lost souls and receive their praises instead.
That was why I didnt summon Saintess H. I needed to get Saintess A to join my side right now.
The Holy Kingdom was divided into five factions. The moment I acquired Saintess A, I would gain the support of both the Faction of the Saintess and the Knights.
The Neutral faction couldnt be hostile to the Hero chosen by God, and I could use that same line as a pretext to purge all the corruption the Shrine had made.
There was no need to pay any attention to the Royals. The nobles who were vulnerable to trends would quickly betray their king and follow me anyway.
If you want to get Saintess A, then why are you making her do something so useless as a Heros Test? Shes already yours.
Its part of my n.
I had no intention of going on an adventure with her.
My aim was to use this trip as a political tool to rule the Holy Kingdom. For me to do so, she had to be both physically and spiritually loyal to me.
That was why I arranged this expedition.
Ive been thinking about it for a long time, but human politics is tooplicated. If everyone obeyed and cooperated with a hero more honorable than any king and emperor, then not only adventures, but life itself would be far easier and smoother.
Youre onto something.
Of course! I am the First Spirit, after all.
The Saintess was supposed to follow the hero closely like a cloak, but Saintess A, whose pride was hurt, did so from a distance.
Next to her was Holy Knight Tomato. He was appalled at first, but he soon tagged along when he heard I was going to the Chimera Haven S.
They had been looking at me like I had gone crazy for a while.
Wuuuuu~
Wuuu~
I could already hear the chimeras cries from this distance.
Chimeras were made by fusing different creatures, but this dungeons chimeras were different.
The objective of their creator was obvious: artificial angels.
The chimeras in the dungeon were failures. The one thing they had inmon was that they all had human heads. Without intelligence, however, they could only produce one type of noise Until death.
? Race: Holy Chimera
? Level: 538
? Job: Sentry (Guard Scout)
? Skill: Fusion C, Regeneration D, Scout D, Holy E, Flight E
? Status: Frenzy, Despair, Anger, Obedience
As expected of a dungeon I chose, the monsters stats were high. Their skills were weaker than their levels, but that was because we were still just outside of its entrance.
The deeper we went in, the stronger the monsters would be. The chimeras soon noticed and started running after us.
Ill bless you, Hero.
Saintess A, who had been expressionless the whole time, spoke with a proud smile. I knew just how to reply to that.
I dont need your blessing. Im already blessed.
What Huh?
Mine was even more powerful.
These were natures blessings from the spirits who sexually harassed me. I had strong resistance to the properties of the earth, fire, wind, water, and mind.
There was also the blessing from Divinity Z that boosted my abilities whenever a battle began.
There was no room for the Saintesss blessing since blessings didnt stack.
Wuuuuuuu~
Wuuuuu~
Wuu-
Wu-
The Chimeras approached us with loud cries, but they were immediately cut as soon as they came within range of the Holy Sword Nucleon.
They had human heads and bodies made out of different creatures parts, but none of it mattered. They were nothing in front of the overwhelming power of the righteous hero.
The Level 500 chimeras are easily being in?
Hes truly the legendary Hero chosen by God
We really shouldnt judge a book by its cover.
The whisper of the priests and the knights who followed us soon entered my ears.
As thoughtless Fantasy natives who admired power, they badmouthed me before with the instigation of Saintess A and Tomato, and now they were praising me.
But I wasnt in a hurry.
The Heros Test was just beginning.
***
Chimera Haven S was a giant dungeonposed of a jungle inhabited by numerous monsters and the undergroundboratory used to create them.
Using the spirit of the earth, I could go straight to theb, but I headed towards the middle of the jungle where the entrance was instead.
Very slowly.
I nned to stay in the jungle for about five days.
River. This is a perfect ce to set up camp.
Making my way through the jungle, I dealt with chimeras and other monsters, and as soon as the sun went down, I chose a ce by the river to settle down on for the night.
So far, no one had been injured, let alone killed. That was thanks to my amazing performance.
The greatest hero of the Holy Kingdom, Commander Tomato, followed my lead withoutints.
It was much better to have a river with open fields than a jungle that created blind spots on all sides. We could also get drinking water this way.
River monsters? They were certainly a threat, but the same went fornd monsters. It wouldnt be dangerous if we didnt get too close to the river anyway.
Squeak, Squeak, Squeak.
Despite having walked all day, the Holy Knights cut down trees and removed rocks with their remaining stamina. As expected from the ones picked by Tomato, they worked in perfect harmony.
In an instant, a t campsite waspleted. They used trees and rocks to build a perimeter around us as well.
For the finishing touch, a thread with a bell had been connected to the entrance that was left open. Instead of trying to climb over it, the monsters would be lured into the open entrance instead.
It was a standard and wless procedure.
Im going to rest for now until dawn. Stand guard and watch. You two can at least do that, right?
Isnt this Heros Test too easy? Saintess A asked.
I shook my head.
Camping is a basic adventurer skill, but dont look down on it. Securing food, clothing, and shelter is much more important than fighting in any journey.
You dont have to tell me that. Who do you think we are?
The pride of the Holy Kingdom.
Youre right, so please refrain from treating me like a child.
Ill keep that in mind.
I chased away a bug with my hands, then pulled out my sleeping bag from my inventory and spread it to the ground.
I wanted to get a hot water bottle to keep me warm for the night, but Shadow A was a married woman, not a widow, and Saintess H couldnt be disclosed for political reasons. Boris was also still in critical condition.
This was such a tragedy!
Its been a long time since Ist camped.
And for the first time in 50 years, I spent the night outside theforts of a heating pad.
Unpleasant memories from the first round crept up. I remembered a bitch whoined that she wanted to take a bath and another idiot that insisted he couldnt sleep without alcohol.
It tormented me in different ways.
At that moment, the five heroes at the Western Continent were camping under the starry skies. Wondering what they were doing, I began to observe them.
Hurry up and find an inn for us to stay at.
These damn insects are everywhere.
Theres nothing but trees as far as I can see here.
I think were lost. I cant even find Lanuvel.
Heroes, how about we camp here? I can stand guard
Id rather die, Alex!
Me too!
Pretending to be cute, Lanuvel led the party through a bizarre path. She either made a mistake,cked information, or did so on purpose.
I thought a real adventure included getting lost and suffering.
I became certain when I saw Lanuvels hips swaying from side to side. That was her habit when she lied.
Perhaps, that party would wander around the area for another five days or so.
A troll has appeared from the west!
Kill it! The eastern barrier is copsing!
Huh? Commander, the chimeras levels arent normal!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Our campsite was also slowly bing a mess.
We had a pretty Saintess who couldnt go poop without being apanied, and stupid knights who went to the river to wash to lose their heads.
It was quite a natural development for an expedition, whose members were on average level 300, to be this way when thrown into a level 900 dungeon in the middle of the night.
Chimera Haven S. It was beautiful during the day, but it became a nightmare once the sun had gone down.
? Race: Holy Chimera
? Level: 738
? Job: Assassin (Night = Stealth )
? Skills: Fusion B, Regeneration C, Wild C, Divinity D, Surprise Attack D
? Status: Madness, Despair, Anger, Obedience, Stealth
Such sneaky chimeras also roamed this jungle, after all.
Tomato protected the Holy Knights and Saintess A as she hurriedly healed the injured and the dead.
Me?
Lanuvels leg hurts so much I cant walk anymore!
Then theres nothing we can do. We have no choice but to camp here.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Oh, my God
Lanuvel, pretending to be cute, quietly looked down on the hero party that was being tormented.
At that moment, I needed popcorn more than I needed a hot water bottle.
? Bitter: I think I know from whom cadet Kang Han-soo learned the Heros Test from
Chapter 205 - [12th Round] The Hero’s Test
Chapter 205 - [12th Round] The Heros Test
Lanuvel limped around diligently, acting like her leg was hurt, as the others prepared the camp.
With the help of magic, she mowed down the ground and built an earthen wall around them. In the middle, firewood made from dried Lucifers droppings was burned to make a bonfire.
After that
Ppyong! Ppyong! Ppyong! Ppyong
Seven sleeping bags were taken out of a four-dimensional bag and spread around the campfire. There were eight of them, but the dark knight was a corpse. It didnt need sleep.
Although assisted by magic, Lanuvels movements were honed to perfection, as if she were a conductor running an orchestra.
Warriors, you did a great job today!
Thank you, Miss Lanuvel.
Lanuvel is good at everything.
Miss Lanuvel too! You did a great job today!
She forced everyone to camp outside, yet they were still grateful to her. Was that what they called ying cat and mouse?
Lanuvel, who had been forgiven because of her cute acts and receivedpliments, and the heroes gathered around the bonfire to talk about their future ns and what happened today. They soon fell asleep one by one.
Was what she had hoped. C-c-cold!
I cant sleep because of mosquitoes!
Aaah, its a cockroach!
Toilet, I need a bathroom!
It would be the icing on the cake if it snowed here
Hero! Hero! How can you sleep in this situation?! Saintess A, still drenched in blood, shook me awake.
With my sleeping bag zipped all the way to my head to avoid grass, dust, noise, and bugs, I slowly moved.
Saintess, are you crazy? If we dont rest now, we wont be able to march tomorrow.
Thats the problem! I dont think were even going to make it through the night!
Wasnt it your job to make that happen?
Well, t-thats Now isnt the time to nitpick! The party is about to be annihted!
I slowly pulled myself up.
Various solutions came into my mind.
A strenuous direct offensive would be most effective, but that approach was only usable by idiots like Sieg.
What would a true hero do?
Wu-?!
Wuuu~?!
Death throes echoed throughout the jungle.
The Spirit King of the Soul, who was sitting on my groin and was happily sniffing, began to call forth the children below.
The spirits interfered with the mind of the chimeras and monsters, making them fight and kill each other like apex predators fighting for the position of being at the top of the food chain.
They werent dominated over. Rather, by stimting their primal instinct to result in violence, their priority went from hunting the weakest to fighting the nearest being.
It was a very simple incitement, yet silence soon dominated the campsite.
As the severely injured retreated, they lured monsters and chimeras with them.
The phenomenon was temporary, but it wouldst until dawn.
Im alive
Huu! Huhuhu!
I thought I was going to die
Sniff Sniff
Battered-down holy knights and fatigued priestesses slumped to the ground, wet with both monster and human blood.
Now finally able to rx, they dropped their false fronts and left their survival to their natural instincts. Their mind and body were too exhausted to function properly, after all.
Themander, Tomato, was no exception. I was too arrogant What a hero I am
He helped around as much as he could, so he was more tired than others.
His armor, specially made at the Holy Kingdom, received endless attacks and had lost its functionality.
He was seemingly pondering about retreating.
I would do the same if I were him. I would escape the moment I realized I didnt have enough power.
What did you do, Hero?
Saintess A noticed the change faster than anyone else.
I dont think thats whats important right now.
I returned exactly what she said to me.
Monsters quickly returned to nature when they died, unlike humans born from a womans womb.
When a human died, their body would remain until it rotted or was eaten away. If not handled properly, the deceased could turn into ghosts or zombies.
We had a saintess here that could prevent that.
She could make resurrection possible.
But it also had time limits and conditions. The longer the body was left unattended, the harder it would be to execute sessfully.
Thats right. Excuse me.
Saintess A turned around and rushed towards the dead. I could take care of the wounded, but I left it to the priests.
Its been a while since I camped. My backs already numb. It would be good if there were a soft hot heating pad nearby that I can use I said, looking at the dead priestess that was lying face down in the mud.
But she didnt have a lower body. A monster had probably bitten it off.
I didnt see her face, but based on her vertebrae, she was beautiful.
? Question: How can you say shes beautiful just by looking at her spine?
Priestesses in Fantasy were all beautiful regardless of age. There was even a rumor that they were chosen not based on their beliefs but from their looks
That was a scientifically proven fact.
? Race: Human
? Level: 346
? Job: Priestess (Beauty = Healing )
? Skills: Healing A, Charm A, Eternal Youth B, Physical Strength B, Cuteness C
? Status: Dead, Disease, Curse, Fear
That much could be said based on the professional characteristics of priestesses.
During their youth, they could heal with their beauty, and in theirter years, they could maintain their appearance with their healing abilities.
There was no rule that men shouldnt be priests, but very few men want to be priests because women in Fantasy preferred strong men over handsome men to be their husbands.
Lady, if you sleep on the cold ground, it might kill you.
I lifted the priestess by her slender wrist. I wanted to look at her face, but I immediately saw her empty eye sockets filled with maggots when I turned her.
Her soft chest was exposed to the bone. She was full of bugs instead of organs.
She would be hard to revive even with the power of a saintess. Perhaps at an extremely high level, the priestess could be revived in exchange for a huge cost, but she wasnt at that level.
Then
?Race: Human
? Level: 346
? Job: Priestess (Beauty = Healing )
? Skill: Healing A, Charm A, Immortality B, Energy B, Passion C
? Status: Disease, Curse, Fear
I decided to alter her skills a little bit.
No human being wanted to age to death, but it would be useless if one died young as well.
Crack, crackle!
Maggots poured out of her eyes, nose, and mouth. Her torn eyes, tongue, and lips were then newly reformed.
There had also been a change down there.
Insects were kicked out of her torn, severed organs, and her lost body parts grew out like bamboo shoots.
Sumptuous chest, peachy-like butt, crane-like legs, cute toes
She became just as beautiful as her spine.
Cough, cough!
The priestess coughed, dering her survival.
Are you alright?
I asked with a calm look on my face instead of giving her the smile of a righteous hero with 60 years of experience. I didnt want to be misunderstood that I saved her with evil desires.
The priestess looked at her body and was surprised.
I was sure I died
Im d youre safe.
I headed for the sleeping bag, and the priestess naturally followed. It didnt look like she had intentions of helping her colleagues.
She snatched my hand and spoke in a murmuring voice. Excuse me, hero.
Priestess with a beautiful lumbar waist. May I help you?
The priestess looked at me with eyes full of lust. Her hot-pack-like hands overshadowed the chilly weather.
Ah! I suddenly feel dizzy
Flop.
With her bad acting, she fell into my arms.
I was stuck in the ground until just now, so my dirty body and clothes made me ufortable, but I endured it because I was a good hero.
Of course, I didnt intend to put up with it for long.
Shwaaa!
I washed it at once using the spirit of water.
Kyaa - grrr
They put the priestess in a whirlpool and spun her around like a super washing machine.
There was no mercy as there was no detergent. Her tattered clothes were neatly removed without leaving a thread behind.
In just three seconds, the priestess was clean.
Her eyes were spinning inexorably, but it was just a small price to pay for hygiene.
Wee-ing-
The Spirit of Fire and the Spirit of Wind worked together to serve as a dryer. Thanks to this, the moisture left on her skin and hair dried up in an instant.
Oh, my! You must be very dizzy.
Yes, the world is spinning
This time, she was no longer acting.
I went into my sleeping bag with my hot-pack, no, a priestess who was still suffering from the aftereffects of resurrection.
Take a good rest until your body and mind are stable.
Excuse me, Hero. That ce is Kyaah!
Were doing a thorough body inspection. Let me know if you feel any pain.
Im not sure. Can you do it again
As many times as you want.
Ugh! Lord, forgive me for being selfish!
A push-over hero saved a life today!
***
The expedition, which safely got through the first day, resumed its march again.
There was some opposition from the hero Tomato, but he soon dropped it when Saintess A expressed her determination to finish the Heros Test.
She didnt have any other choice.
A saintesss purpose was to support the Hero chosen by God.
There was nothing to be done if I already had the support of a different Saintess, but if I didnt, then she had to prove herself worthy of being mypanion.
She was a saintess, after all.
That was her destiny.
Saintess A. Beautiful night, isnt it?
If you think so, then I feel the same.
How was my exam?
Saintess A, who came into my sleeping bag, didnt reply. It had been five days since we started our journey.
Since the first day, which had the most deaths and disappearances, little by little, we umted damage and soon found our forces halved by the time we made it to the entrance of the undergroundboratory.
The hero, Tomato, died in vain against three nameless chimeras on the third day. Unfortunately, his body fell down a cliff, preventing us from reviving him.
The Knights, now leaderless, were taken in by the faction of the Saintess.
And the leader of the Saintess Faction?
Chpok! Chpok!
She had been under my care since yesterday.
Bang!
When Saintess A passed out in my sleeping bag, exhausted, the door of theboratory we were about to raid opened.
A skinny middle-aged wizard with a strange expression came out of it.
In what world have you seen a bastard as clueless as this! Ibor day and night with noble intentions, and you pour salt in front of my house!
He was enraged.
Cant I use a heating pad on such a cold day? Hmm? Whats that sad expression on your face? You look like you dont have anyone to warm you during these cold days.
Once upon a time, a wizard who happened to pick up an angels body hid in this jungle without informing his homnd, the Holy Kingdom.
His purpose was to produce angels with absolute obedience! However, only ambiguous chimeras had been mass-produced since.
Wait! Dont tell me that naked woman isnt the saintess that the Holy Kingdom considers as their treasure, is she?
And how did youe to that conclusion? If she could hear you, shed be offended. Prejudice is bad, you self-proimed great wizard. Thats why even in the next ten years, your research will remain fruitless.
The wizards face turned red at my provocation.
Who in hell are you to proudly defile the noblest and most innocent saintess on the Central Continent!
Putting on my pants, I honestly answered the wizards question.
Im the Holy Hero.
The 60-year-experienced Hero, living on top of the heads of Fantasys uncivilized people, seeded in luring the boss out of the dungeon!
Chapter 206 - [12th Round] One by One!
Chapter 206 - [12th Round] One by One!
? Race: Human

Phwat!
I hastily checked the wizards ability.
Overall, his skill level was higher than those at the elementary course, but he hadnt reached transcendence yet. If he did, wouldnt he have already achieved his dream?
A hero? Dont make meugh. Youre just delusional. Get lost!
Wuuuuu!
Wuuuuuu!
The chimeras, controlled by the wizard, rushed at me. They had surpassed Level 999 for sure, but they were too weak to stand in my way.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
The wings of the righteous hero dealt with them.
The wings unfurled like a giants palm spreading out and ripping off every chimera it came into contact with.
Of course, my speed didnt decrease even a little.
No! My chimeras!
The appalled wizard sneakily retreated using teleportation.
Theyre not enough to scare me, the Holy Hero, wizard.
I didnt disappoint and narrowed the distance again.
Teleportation magic by high-ranking wizards was very annoying, but their bodies momentarily stiffened right after casting it.
Moving through space was easy, but the more magic and EXP points one carried, the heavier they became. I wouldnt be wrong to say it took time because the total amount of data needed to be transferred had grown.
There was one more factor about it.
There.
Its pattern repeated itself.
That spatial magic wasnt based on predetermined coordinates. It simply allowed the caster to move a certain distance in any direction.
And under such a critical moment, he had no time to think, leaving every decision to his instincts.
His habits when using it became evident.
I pulled out a sharp wing bone from the wings of the righteous hero and held it like a javelin, throwing it hard in the direction I predicted hed appear.
It glided over the wind.
Ugh!
The scream of the wizard echoed.
But the result wasnt as I had expected.
My weapon slipped slightly and struck the wizards lumbar vertebrae on the side.
Fssshhh
Getting further away by using teleportation magic, he tried preparing for a long-distance attack but instead vomited blood. Of course, his magic was canceled.
The holy chimeras tried to heal him, but they couldnt overpower my divine retribution!
What is this terrible poison
The power of justice.
Correcting the wizards confusion, I pulled out another wing bone and threw it.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
The wing bones flew right through the naked bodies of the chimeras that tried to block it.
Pak!
Immediately after that, it pierced the wizards paralyzed body.
urately, this time.
There was no scream.
The wizards upper and lower bodies were flung like debris in different directions. It was a sad ending for a dungeon boss.
? Perplexed: It wasnt supposed to be that easy The overall difficulty of the world has increased significantly since up to ten cadets can team up and cooperate in secondary education. Its notparable to cadet Kang Han-soos entrance exam, but still
Thats why I prepared a strategy, Trainee Teacher.
The true strength of the wizard could only be demonstrated when fighting in theb.
He would teleport around countless rooms and release chimeras so powerful that they couldnt be controlled and had to be locked in thebs basement.
If we fought in there, he wouldve been able to move freely even with his eyes closed, and even I would have wasted quite a bit of time.
Theres nothing special about being stronger. Come with me.
I gestured towards the random things at the entrance of theb.
There was no need to worry because the uncontroble chimeras started fighting among themselves.
Huuuk!
Unforgivable!
Oh my God.
How could he do this
The knights and priestess who followed me trembled as they eximed. Those with squeamish stomachs started throwing up.
It was considered a sophisticatedb, but the interior was simply a human experimentation site.
Far from angels, there were bodies piled up that couldnt even be called chimeras. There were also humans with severe deformities among them.
They were left half-dead.
K-kill me
Kill me, please
I made my way to them, fulfilling their wishes.
There were two main missions to do in this dungeon.
The first one, the spiritual submission of Saintess A, which I had already aplished. Now, I needed a new Holy Knight to protect the Saintess in ce of Tomato, who was uncooperative with me to the end.
It didnt have to be just one person.
You and you. Listen to me.
Yes!
Yes, sir!
Their abilities didnt matter.
I couldpensate for theirck of skills. What I needed was absolute loyalty.
The Holy Knight A and B I picked fitted right in. They were the ones that took care of Saintess A, who was determined to watch the process to the end.
I didnt forget their efforts.
Wuuuu!
Before us was a heavily bound chimera so powerful that the wizard gave up trying to control it.
There are about ten of them in theb. There were safety devices attached to them that would kill them with ease in case of an emergency.
The job is simple. Stab that chimera with your sword.
Got it.
And Ill pull this lever.
Danggang!
The chimeras neck fell off.
Huh?
Youre going to absorb a lot of EXP and be stronger. From now on, you two will be the new heroes of the Holy Kingdom, recing Tomato.
Ah!
That wasnt an exaggeration at all.
Holy Knight A and Holy Knight B, who had be significantly stronger thanks to the modification of their EXP by a pushover hero, had already surpassed Tomato.
Although their skill rating wasnt passable, their immense levels made up for their shorings.
Dang dang! Dang dang!
Holy Knight A and Holy Knight B, who would dedicate the Holy Kingdom to me, developed rapidly. And by the time this work was done, we had already arrived at the center of theb.
***
Oh? Its still intact. Is it because we came early? We found the angels body in a huge ss tube.
Only the bones remained as its flesh had been torn off to use as materials for the chimeras.
In the first round, not even bones remained. Only the angels head and wings did. I could consider its current condition to be satisfactory.
How could you
Saintess A was speechless. But not me.
This is much more humane than dissecting someone of the same race. Think of the angel as a chicken. Its not as big as a deal anymore, is it?
Angels arent chickens. They belong to a noble race that serves God. Such an insulting act on the body of an angel is unforgivable Hero? Are you okay?
I didnt answer, for I discovered something I wasnt aware of during the first round.
? Race: Chaos Angel
? Level: 1
? Job: Mayor (City Management)
? Skill: Confusion Z, Divinity MAX, Management MAX, Flight SSS, Agility SSS
? Status: Dead, Weakened, Physical Defects
It still had stats.
Preservation magic that could be used to prevent bodies from disintegrating didntst for a lifetime, and it definitely didnt prevent stats from disappearing.
The same went for animals, nts, and humans. After a certain period, the remaining experience in the body wouldpletely disappear, bringing them back to level 1. After that, their abilities would suffer the same fate, leaving nothing behind but an empty shell.
The mayor
When only the head was left, I dismissed it as the unnamed Angel A. I remained true to that idea, but since its job was to represent the angels city and was ranked higher than Vige Chief A, I decided to rename it to Mayor A.
And there was only one city of angels in the entire Fantasy Continent.
El Mndo.
Did you discover something, Hero?
Saintess A, can you resurrect this angel?
Itll be difficult. Its lost all its strength, and its level had dropped to 1 already. If I try to revive it, its body might not be able to handle it, causing it to crumble instead.
That means its possible with enough levels, right?
Uhh Yes?
nk!
I broke the ss tube and put my hand on the angels head. I then shared my EXP with it.
Level 1 Level 500
I umted a lot of EXP by killing chimeras and the wizard. Compared to the entrance examination hall, which was overflowing with Level 9999+, it was a drop in the ocean, but it was still more than enough to recycle a birdbrain.
How is that possible?
This is nothing for a true hero. Come on, resurrect it.
Okay.
Most of the levels were used for resurrection, leaving only 140 levels intact.
Ugh Where in the world Huh?!
Hi. I understand youre confused by your sudden resurrection, but I was hoping youd answer the questions of a busy hero before anything else.
I gave it a smile that disyed my 60 years of experience since it often relieved peoples minds. I caressed the angels neck as I asked it for a favor.
D-demon?! I cant believe Ive been captured Cough, cough!
Your senses are still probably disoriented due to the resurrection process. Birdbrain, look me in the eye. What do I look like?
You look like a hero!
The heroes andpanions, who safelypleted the rmended Level 900 dungeon Chimera Haven S, returned to the Holy Kingdom.
*
I took possession of the Holy Kingdom much earlier than the Dumpling Kingdom, even though I worked on it first.
Among the five factions, the Saintess and the Knights had real power. Hence, after gaining their support, the most problematic faction, the Royalty, immediately joined me.
Many factors influenced that oue.
There was no politician who didnt have a skeleton in his closet.
The newly modified Holy Knights A and B, who had be stronger than Tomato, shook royalties and aristocrats of their wealth.
They then sent them one by one to the guillotine.
However, I am a generous hero.
Greedy royals and nobles were also useful. If I eliminated every evil, then it would be harder for me to get into heaven.
Executing everyst one of them would paralyze the country as well.
In the first round, my colleagues killed them all carelessly, leaving us short of working staff. That caused the politics and economy to be chaotic in no time at all. This time, I made sure to take a different approach.
Only idiots with no useful skills and nobles with political roles were disposed of, and the rest were spared no matter how corrupt they were.
Under the supervision of the knights, those found guilty, regardless of age, would be assigned with paperwork until they died from overwork.
Of course, control was necessary to avoid death.
Sir Hero, not all aristocrats and royals are to me. Moreover, if you make women and children, people who know nothing about politics at all, work for you, it would cause negative reactions Saintess A cautiously protested, having received the right to rule the Holy Kingdom.
I was well aware of that.
However
If I waste my time on such small details, then wholl save this world before it falls and crumbles? You?
Today, I will move to the New Holy Kingdom with this angel. Ill leave the little problems here to you.
I will also apany you!
Saintess A cried out with a frightened look on her face. She thought I would really leave her. She failed to pass the Heros Test, after all.
I gave a deration out of the blue.
Saintess A, youre not ready yet!
B-but Im a saintess Haa I understand, sir. Ill prepare for your test once more and wait for your return.
The week I spent in the Holy Kingdom proved fruitful.
Well, then.
I opened the map of the Central continent and circled out the Holy Kingdom.
In addition, I received the Queens Handwritten Letter that stated that the moment I went back, I could have her and the country at any time. I circled out the Dumpling Kingdom as well.
Now, three main forces were blocking my way.
1. The Elven Kingdom
2. The Merchant Republic
3. The Holy Empire
And Master Mon!
He wasnt one of the three, but he was the greatest creature to ever exist, and he had more power than all of those countriesbined.
Im at a loss. It would be perfect if I could have the Holy Empire.
If I subdued the Holy Empire, the Merchant Republic, which was sensitive to the tide, would kneel to me on its own. Then Prince Nasus, fearing istion, would merge with the Elven Kingdom and stage an early coup.
But I couldnt do that.
Master Mon lived in a secluded vige in the Holy Empire. There was no guarantee that he wouldnt feel provoked during the subjugation.
It was a very dangerous gamble.
The Drug Hero seems to be having too many thoughts.
Youre just too simple-minded.
If so, then I should just approach from the other side.
I pushed off the Holy Empire to the bottom of the list. After taking possession of all the neighboring countries, we could absorb them under peaceful political pressure.
Are you going to the Elven Kingdom?
Yeah. Theyre the easiest target of the three.
My shadow rattled, and Shadow A soon popped out. As an elf herself, she spoke with a tone of dissatisfaction.
Sir, arent you looking down on elves too much in my presence, his Elven Majesty the Kings wife?
Well see.
It took less than an hour for me, the righteous and kind-hearted hero, to leave the Holy Kingdom and start taking over my new prey.
Chapter 207 - [12th Round] Towards the Empire
Chapter 207 - [12th Round] Towards the Empire
Your Majesty, Elfheim, I hope to see you again soon. The elven race without you has no dream or hope. Shadow A fell into despair, anxious to find and be with her husband again.
Arent you expecting too much from that pitiful elf?
Boss K, who founded the city of elves and became mayor of it at the Festival of Heroes, spent each day happily watching female human adventurers.
He showed no interest in the kingdom or marriage.
Hero, you speak too openly in front of his wife
Its your fault for reading my mind.
Everything about His Majesty Elfheim is perfect except for his taste in females. Therefore, despite our faults and regrets, I and my kind cannot help but rely on him. His fears about spirits turned out to be true as well.
Using the teleportation magic from the tower of the Holy Kingdom, I immediately moved to the house of the Fire Knight, one of the four great knights of the Elven Kingdom.
I found no difficulties after that.
The spirits, which had more numbers than the elves themselves in their own kingdom, revolted.
They captured cities and viges, beating up the shameless elves who enved them while calling the spirits their friends.
Dont do this, my friend!
Whats wrong with you, my friend!
Arent we friends?
Elves, whose entire bodies aside from their heads were buried on the ground, were crying out for their friends. I still couldnt grasp the logic behind that.
The whole point of their rtionship was funny.
Allegedly, elves from birth already had a strong connection with spirits.
If spirits didnt have emotions, they wouldve stayed that way, but they were living beings capable of thinking.
Even pets raised at home followed whoever fed them. It was illogical to think the spirits would unconditionally follow the orders of someone who didnt take care of them properly.
Everything had a reason.
That was true of the rtionship between elves and spirits too.
Drug Hero, is your respect for me rising now?
The First Spirit, doing nothing but dering the liberation of her enved kind, swung her legs back and forth.
What makes you think Ill respect someone who does nothing but sits on someones head and sniffs drugs all day?
You did that to me!
What did you expect?
I went to the kings hall.
As if to highlight my poprity, spirits gathered around me. My body would have been a marketce for them if not for the spirit kings monopolizing me and ordering them not toe closer.
I sat on the throne above the hall.
Leave my throne be, you bloody little man!
The Elf King, now tied up and chained, shouted. On the other hand, the equally bound Queen was calm.
The mother of all spirits, Fronesis, has been freed, and now we must be punished for our sins. Hero, as you can see, our king is a rather ipetent man who has nothing but royal blood. He can neither rule our country efficiently nor satisfy women. If you desire to punish our race for our crimes, I will repay all of their sins with my body.
The Elf Queen tried to take responsibility, fulfilling her duty as the mother of a country.
Was it because I saw her naked at the Demon Lords castle every round? I guess I had prejudices about her.
Mother, please dont cheat in front of your son and husband
My prejudices were probably correct, though.
Prince Nasus, who surrendered early and embraced his parents, sighed and scolded his mother.
A voice interrupted us, however.
What the hell are you doing, brother?
Sylvia, who had kept her mouth shut all this time, screamed bitterly. As the future ruler of the Elf Kingdom, she had the same hot-headed temperament as the current King.
Prince Nasus ignored his little sister and continued.
My lord, their words are not the will of all elves. These foolish kinsmen of mine dont even know the existence of Fronesis. They believe in the friendship they hold with the spirits. All responsibility falls on our royal family, who have hidden the truth from our subjects. I ask for your leniency.
The rest of the family went against his words.
Nasus, have you lost your pride as an elven noble?
As my son said, I will take responsibility.
Brother, are you crazy? Hes the damn thief who stole my spirit!
They were too noisy.
Ashamed that she was rted to them, Shadow A went into my shadow.
The resurrected angel that followed me also remained quiet, apparently realizing that it wasnt something worth interfering over.
Regardless.
The King is to serve an intolerable 500 years of imprisonment. I deprive the Queen of her title and enforce five years of abstinence upon her.
Who do you think you are?!
Hero, this is a punishment too harsh for a woman!
The Fairy King and Queen protested, but I didnt listen. Instead, I went straight over to the two siblings.
Prince Nasus, I appoint you as the prime minister who watches over the foolish elves. You will have a political marriage with a human that I choose. Finally, Princess Sylvia Youre making it hard for me to choose. No skills, no breasts. By tomorrow, you must have a reason prepared why I shouldnt have you executed brutally in public.
Thank you for your kindness.
Ill kill you! Just you wait!
With that, the Elf Kingdom had been neatly conquered.
The elves that used to pass hunting, farming, foraging, and daily household chores to their friends would be working from now on.
I wanted to raise the kingdoms birth rate and poption by coercing a marriagew, but I tolerated it because even I couldnt take care of my son right now.
I couldnt force others to do what I couldnt.
Just like that, a day passed.
Instead ofing up with why I shouldnt execute her, Princess Sylvia spent the grace period I gave her persuading the spirits to save her because she still thought they were friends. However, when she heard about the date and procedure of the uing execution, she immediately began to beg for pardon.
She hadpletely lost her pride as a royal.
Drug Hero, anyone who spends three days and three nights being disgraced and shamed, and then learns of their imminent death right after, will be like that.
This is a small punishmentpared to the fact that she didnt even thank me for saving her at the ck Market. If we count inpound percentages, this is nothing at all.
I gave Sylvia 30 years of hardbor.
I had a disgusting affection for her, so I didnt execute her.
Drug Hero, Ill bet your finger that the Elf Princess wontst thirty days and will take her own life.
Dont bet using someone elses finger.
But I was curious if Sylvia would reallymit suicide just as the First Spirit predicted, so I spent 30 days in the Elf Kingdom.
I also went down to the sewers in the basement of the royal garden. There I found Elf B lying on a bed. She had stabbed herself in the chest with a dagger.
The smell of dried blood and rotting corpses told me she had been in that state for a while now. Only one word of apology was written in the will.
ording to the children, shemitted suicide after I disappeared from that altar.
What an irresponsible elf.
She passed on to her descendants the spirits anger towards her and chose afortable death, leaving only a short apology.
I thought shed know something since she was a teacher, but Shadow A shook her head.
My eldest sister and I were the only elves who got the status of teachers by helping the wise Elf King. My second sister had a strong political spirit, but he still didnt neglect her.
Did she have any administrative skills?
My eldest sister, who had been by the Kings side to learn since a long time ago, was the best among us. But my second sister was also good at it. She was the younger sister of thergest tribes chief, after all.
What about you?
I was His Majestys guard.
In other words, she couldnt do it at all. I summoned Saintess H.
In the Holy Kingdom, I hid her because of Saintess A, but there was no need to do that now.
Summoned in the air, Saintess H slowlynded with her angels wings stretched wide open.
Oh, my word! Such a deep faith and divinity!
The eyes of the angel, who had been silent all this time, opened wide. She couldnt take her eyes off her.
Did you call, my lord?
Yeah, I want to revive this poor elf, both body and mind.
I understand.
Everything that transpired after that was simple.
I ordered the resurrected Elf B five millennia worth of administrative work. Since the world would reset anyway once the Demon Lord had been defeated, that period seemed unrealistic.
But Elf B simply epted it.
If mybor alone can quell the wrath of the spirits, I will dly do it.
The post-conquest process was slowlying to an end.
The First Spirits prediction about Sylvia didnt happen, but we found a much more interesting sight instead.
I couldnt believe Sylvia was getting married voluntarily!
Whenever Sylvia, who was tired ofbor, wanted to kill herself, Elf A, a young man,forted her. He was her fianc.
He wasnt from apetent household, and he didnt have exceptional looks.
For some, it might look nothing more than a simple act of kindness, but for Sylvia, who was both physically and mentally tired, it probably was different.
And this had happened everywhere.
Far from giving birth, elves who were stingy with marriage began to marry one after another in the past 30 days.
In the stead of spirits that, for them, only existed to providefort when they were sad and generously help them withbor, they chose partnership.
I felt a little humanity from the elves.
This phenomenon also happened on Earth, after all.
In underdeveloped and developing countries, birth rates were high, but in more developed countries, birth rates decreased, and divorce rates became higher.
It was okay to live alone in such ces, after all.
Their low libido and weak bodies also contributed to the chronic low birth rate of the elven race.
They preferred spirits over lifelong partners. It was like loving a perfect 2D character while ignoring realistic 3D people.
That was an interesting discovery.
Drug Hero, where to next? Holy Empire or the Merchant Republic?
Before that, we must merge the countries first. Now that the Dumpling Kingdoms throne is empty, I have to go back there. Someones already waiting there for my return.
Dumpling Kingdom, Elf Kingdom, Holy Kingdom.
If the territories of those three countries had beenbined, it would be equivalent to the Holy Empire. This would achieve the minimum conditions for the next political step.
I went straight to the Dumpling Kingdom using teleportation magic.
***
The true king has returned!
Step aside, you rotten-dumpling-looking false king!
Praise the Hero chosen by God!
I could hear the citizens woes even inside the tower.
The capital of the Dumpling Kingdom was already ready to wee a new king since the five heroes summoned before me turned the Dumpling Kingdom upside down andid the foundation for me.
They had dug up and punished royal and aristocratic corruption.
As a result, it had seemingly be a better country to live in than before, but it couldnt be fully controlled as the credibility of the people in power had fallen to the ground.
What made matters worse was that the state coffers were running out of money as they gave generouspensation to the victims, and they also lowered the taxes topensate for their crimes.
It was the beginning of a vicious circle.
If the state coffers were empty, military power couldnt be developed. Here in the Fantasy Continent, where monsters ceaselessly piged and killed, countries with weak military power were shunned by their people.
A man who lost his family to a monster would me his country.
They would stop paying taxes, and in extreme cases, they would even turn into criminals or rebels.
Cool.
Meanwhile, I provided embers through the Queen.
The MAX-ss Hero carried the blood of the true king, and their current ruler was a fake.
In the past 30 days, rumors that I conquered the Holy Kingdom and the Fairy Kingdom one after another spread throughout the Central Continent through merchants.
What was the final blow?
The Kings beloved Queen served as my hands and feet!
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the Dumpling King asked for advice with his face buried in his wifes soft chest, and the Queen, who heard it, further aggravated the situation with wrong advice.
The oue of this fight had already been decided before it could even start.
What the hell is going on? The blood of a true king? Whats your purpose for pretending to be royalty?!
King Dumpling, deprived of his throne and crown, shouted with a quivering chin.
A beautiful Queen approached me with a bright smile with elegant steps and put a crown over my head.
I replied, sitting on his throne.
My purpose is the people, False King.
Bloodline wasnt important. There had to be subjects for there to be a King. Even absolute force was nothing more than a tool for gathering said subjects.
Agitation (SS) Agitation (SSS)
I only told the truth, but an unrted skills rank had gone up. I didnt even know why!
Having undressed the princess to her underwear and leaving on her only panties with a bear, I sent her to Prince Nasus as a concubine. The king and princes who had lost their throne and positions were sent to the guillotine.
The Queen became my regent.
Your Majesty, have you decided on our nations name?
In the Central Continent of Fantasy, second only to the Holy Empire, three countries withrge and powerful territories merged. This couldnt be called a kingdom anymore.
I said the name that Id already chosen before.
Holy Mon Empire.
All paths lead to Mon.
Chapter 208 - [12th Round] Hero: Homecoming
Chapter 208 - [12th Round] Hero: Homing
The name of the state alone isnt the end of it.
I introduced a decree stating that all inhabitants except the Emperor and Master Mon were equal before thew and entrusted the rest to Prince Nasus, Saintess A, and the former queen.
Anyone could handle that.
I still had to find a Guardian for the state and use it as the basis of our national g and anthem.
If youre looking for a Guardian, Im perfect! The First Spirit proimed.
You wouldnt defend the empire, would you?
Of course not. I am a spirit, and I only fight for my kind. And I have no desire to leave the Drug Heros head.
Thats not something you should be proud of. I suspected from the very beginning that you would say that, but if someone like you is appointed as a Guardian, then the state will definitely fall into ruin.
It was customary to make a dragon the guardian of a country.
There was no particr reason. They were simply the object of awe and fear, hailed as the strongest race in thends of Fantasy. Dragons used to actually protect countries, but there were no such dragons left.
Unfortunately, they had all been in.
I know that too. The old dragon killed them all. The First Spirit said, pretending to know what happened.
Youre right. In his best years, Noebius killed them all. The dragons knew they would lose, but because of their promise to protect thends, they confronted him anyway, ultimately leading to their demise. After that, the dragons no longer made a pact to protect humans.
But I was different.
The citizens of the empire thought that I would be not only their emperor but also their protector. However, I wasnt going to be a guardian that could be med the moment anything happened.
After all, my reputation was important to me.
From the vault, I retrieved the blueprint for Golem D.
I had studied magical engineering on the Western Continent, but I still had no talent for it.
I just couldnt understand how it defied thews of physics and nature.
If I fed an ugly man the Magical Ingredient A and performed the Magical Procedure C at the Magical ce B, he would be handsome!
That was the kind of nonsense it was.
Were going to create the Guardian Golem.
Your Majesty! The state treasury is empty, Treasurer A told me.
Huge sums of money were spent every day. All the documents had to be rewritten because of the change in the countrys name, and paper andbor cost a lot of money.
Stupid residents didnt think about such hardships.
They just thought that only the name had changed.
Dont worry. Ill take up the coffers of all three countries and create a golem. Well recover from our expenses through war, which should be easy enough to do.
War?
We needed money if we wanted to wage wars as well, but only if we were going to hire and mobilize a huge army of soldiers.
If Soldier A could deal with just one person in exchange for one piece of bread, then Hero B could deal with an army of 5,000 people for the same price.
Hero B would only need a maid and a porter to help him.
But there was no need to exin all that in such detail.
I was the emperor. I had absolute power.
I just want to create someone like Captain Fantasy
But its hard to create such a masterpiece in a short period, so I had to give up the idea.
It required a lot of valuable materials to create him, and the transformation technique was tooplicated for ordinary engineers to execute. A sage from the Northern Continent or someone of equal prowess was needed to create him.
I could try to create Golem D instead.
There were a lot of unnecessary little details like chest structure, its sway, and its firmness factor, but it was still a much easier choice.
Not to mention
Father, I can help, Green Cake confidently offered after reviewing the blueprints.
You?
Saintess H, stroking his head, replied instead of Green Cake.
You have nothing to worry about, master. Ive been helping him learn magic. Dragons are normally predisposed to it from birth. Hence, they dont study it voluntarily, at least not until they be aware of it themselves at some point. However, Green Cake already studied and learned it before that could happen.
Is that so?
I allowed him to cooperate in its creation. With the support of the best mages in the Central Continent, he should be able to handle it.
I prepared and stabilized the country as I created Golem D.
A year had passed since I started that project.
My experience in the Fantasy World was now closing in on 61 years.
? Race: Archigolem
? Level: 950
? Job: Shaman (Beauty Physical Strength )
? Skills: Physical Strength SS, Magic S, Unbreakable Body S, ughter S, Charm S
? Status: Disconnected, Standby
Golem D turned out to be pretty good. Naturally, I had to empty the treasuries of the Three Kingdoms to create it.
All that was left to do was to put a soul into its socket.
This was a very important moment. After all, depending on the soul inserted, skills could be added or changed.
The best option was the Holy Sword C. If I imbued the Heros soul enclosed in it to my creation, I would achieve the most effective result.
BAM!
I put the Holy Sword C, which I had already mined on the Northern Continent, in the socket hidden between the legs of Golem D.
The Holy Sword C was easy to get.
With the wings of the righteous hero, I quickly made my way to the pond, remembering it from the terrible 6th round when Lanuvel pretended to be my little sister.
Fortunately, the ce hadnt changed, so reaching it was easy.
As a bonus, I got a mermaid who clung to the sword, screaming that she had to see if I was worthy. She now lived in the pond of the royal garden.
And
Plok!
I trained her to sing every time I threw a stone into the water.
She tried to escape several times by turning her tail into legs, but she couldnt even get out of the garden and was caught every time because of the hernia in her back.
Lately, she no longer resisted and just sang faithfully.
Cruelly mocking the beautiful mermaid Are you really my junior colleague?
Those were Golem Ds first words after I imbued the Holy Sword C into it.
Im not your junior colleague. Im your master, tin can. Unless you want to turn into a bogeyman that even orcs will turn away from, keep your mouth shut.
Why should I?!
The Heros soul seeped into it, causing a change in its stats, but that didnt make it powerful enough to be worthy of being the Guardian of the Holy Mon Empire.
So I infused Divinity into it and made some skill changes.
? Race: Great Golem
? Level: 999+
? Job: Sword God (Swordsmanship Divinity )
? Skills: Divinity MAX, Magic Power SSS, Magic SS, Annihtion SS, Vitality SS
? Status: Modification
This was a weapon of mass destruction.
Magic, Magic Power, Annihtion!
I put in three major skills that could turn the flow of wars in our favor.
The soul imprisoned in Holy Sword C was a master swordsman capable of using any sword in the world. The golem adopted his skills, as reflected in its job.
Virtually indestructible and having mastered swordsmanship, it would be impossible to defeat in closebat.
In addition, there was also the Vitality skill.
The Golem had gained the characteristic of a living creature, deprived of the chronic weakness of mechanicalbatants.
Well, lets test it.
Of course, it would naturally need to undergo testing after its creation.
The Holy Empire wasnt happy about the birth of a new empire, so there had been skirmishes over some areas sincest year.
No big battles or casualties had urred, though. That was why I didnt intervene.
Interfering in petty squabbles would be bad for my image. If the emperor got himself involved, it might be seen as the entire country having no finances and no military power.
But that was no longer necessary.
After all, the Guardian of the Empire now existed and would fight in the emperors name.
Junior- no, master. You mean Im to kill humans, not demons?
Tell me if you dont want to do it so I can insert a different soul in your socket. But then youll be useless, and Ill just get rid of you. Cant you make that kind of sacrifice for the people? Youre a former Hero, arent you?
Ho-ho! I didnt say I wouldnt do it. It was just a question, master.
Hence, the skirmishes against the Holy Empire on the frontier ended with our victory without having to result in sacrifices. No, honestly, it was simply a massacre.
As soon as Golem Ds spell hit the center of the enemy army, everyone was wiped out. I didnt keep a body count, so I didnt know how many savages were killed.
There was an immediate protest from the Holy Empire.
I dont understand this at all, Drug Hero. They started it, so why are they angry?
Human politics.
Theymitted grave sins, but they were still convinced they were doing what was right.
I wanted to dere war on the Holy Empire and reach their capital with Golem D.
But the problem was Master Mon.
In order not to disturb him, we had to use peaceful colonization methods.
Hearing you speak of peace is strange, Hero.
Youll soon see it for yourself, Drug Spirit.
I was a 61-year-old hero. I couldnt im to know everything about the world of Fantasy, but I still did have a broad understanding of it.
After all, this was my 12th round already.
I thought it was worth taking a more noble route this time.
There were still three years left before the official summoning of the Hero.
Perfect timing.
In the Holy Empire, it had already been so long since the Emperor became bed-ridden due to an illness. That made the officials discuss who would seed the throne.
The potential heir at this time was the first prince. The Imperial Princess was still too young, so she hadnt yet been able to prove herself.
Drug Hero, are you going to kill the emperor?
Huh? What do you mean? Righteous heroes do not use such wretched methods.
What will you do, then?
I will fight them fair and square with Mons help.
I would show the savages the greatness of Master Mon!
Knock! Knock!
At that moment, someone knocked on my office.
I often ignored the presences outside of my room because they were often just the maid doing their frequent cleaning of the corridors, but I soon realized who wasing.
It was Mage A.
Your Majesty! Theres something you should know.
Donte in, but speak from there.
On the bed was a weary naked Boris sleeping, and on thep of the Holy Mon Emperor sat Saintess H, writing down my words on paper.
Such a sight shouldnt be shown to outsiders.
As you wish, Your Majesty. The Five Heroes who had gone to the Western Continent and the recently summoned seventh Hero had arrived.
Quickly figuring out what this was all about, Saintess H stood up and quickly smoothed out the creases that had formed in her clothes.
I issued onemand.
Tell them to assemble in the throne room.
***
Five heroes, two of them males and the rest females, set out for the Western Continent, along with the ever-pretending Pretty Lanuvel and the future Sword King Alex.
They lost to the Phantom King Shakespeare and returned to their starting point, the Central Continent.
There was no resurrection after death here.
We could die and be resurrected as much as we wanted during the entrance exams as if we were living in a virtual reality game. However, that convenient system was nonexistent in the secondary education course.
If we died, that was the end of it!
We would be a repeater and would need to repeat the course from scratch along with the juniors.
Attention! Behold, His Majesty the Emperor!
The Dumpling Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom, the Elf Kingdom.
The representatives of the three states, elves, priestesses, and aristocrats, rose from their seats.
A loud ceremony,plete with an orchestra, celebrated my entrance.
That wasnt new to me.
As soon as I was born, I immediately destroyed the knightly order, and by the time I was two years old, I was already a powerful emperor of the Northern Continent, so I was used to this picture.
Sitting on the throne, which was at the very end of the great hall, and looking down on my subjects and Heroes, I spoke.
Glory to Master Mon.
That, too, was politics.
A foundation to prove to him that we werent the enemy as a precaution against situations that could put us at a disadvantage.
The subjects immediately responded.
Glory!
Glory!
Glory!
Uhhh
All but the heroes, who didnt know the noble greeting of the Holy Empire of Mon, shouted Glory! and sat back in their seats.
Surprised by such a cohesive atmosphere, the heroes froze likembs encountering an unknown world.
With the smile of a Righteous Hero, I removed the rigor from their faces.
But their faces turned pale instead.
Do not fear, Female Hero. I dont bite, so dont cry. The Emperor isnt scary. As proof of that, Ill even let you esteemed heroes be the first to ask a question. If you have something to say to me, go ahead.
Chapter 209 - [12th Round] Thrilling Life Records
Chapter 209 - [12th Round] Thrilling Life Records
The five looked at each other then focused their eyes on the person who best showed leadership qualities and skills during the trip.
A weak-looking hero.
He had pale skin and a skinny body like an elf. If one were to put a skirt on him, hed look like a girl.
He was wearing the usual attire of amoner.
It was said that when they appeared, their condition was like that of soldiers of a defeated army. Since they had spent a long time camping, they hadnt had a chance to wash properly, so there was a bad smelling from their bodies, and their underwear had already turned yellow
I almost threw up when I heard about it from Mage A.
Hence, they were washed and given new clothes first.
They call me Aaron. I was summoned first, and I now lead the rest of our kind. Let me ask you, Sixth Hero, a question that demands attention. While we fought earnestly in the Western Continent, you took your chance to gain power and be emperor. Tell me, are you not ashamed?
Not a bit.
Hmph! Pretending wont help.
Hail Master Mon.
Hail!
Hail!
Hail!
The Holy Mon Empire had perfect cohesion.
Not at all. As you can see, Im fine as I am.
Even the faculty ignored Master Mon, the greatest being. So I, as his student, felt ufortable about it.
But now, everyone was praising him.
I was d to be able to thank the terrible but highly respected teacher for his blessing.
Hence, I had nothing to be ashamed of.
Besides, this empire would keep me from bing a shameful father in front of my son when I met him.
Aaron, who couldnt argue against my perfect logic, was at a loss.
But he instantly regained hisposure.
I ask the sixth Hero, is it not our goal to eliminate the Five Great Disasters and the Demon Lord? Do you refuse to cooperate with us?
No. Yes.
This world is on the brink of destruction! What kind of emperor are you, then, if you dare deny reality? If this world falls, your empire will be turned into nothing but ruins and dust. Do you not wish to graduate?
This Heros speech was the strangest of all the heroes I had met before. He didnt sound like a modern Earthling.
He looked more like a thousand-year-old Guardian.
That was well reflected in his race.
? Race: Millennial Man
? Level: 999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Physical Strength Z, Dexterity Z, Swordsmanship MAX, Magic Power MAX, Fortitude MAX
?State: Tense
Millennial Man.
My experience hadnt passed 1000 years yet, which made me uncertain, but if members of a race with a short life span lived more than 1000 years, the word millennial seemed to be added to their race.
Every race had its own peculiarities, but this was the first time I had seen one in humans.
I decided to take a closer look at Aarons Millennial Man, and I was in for a shock.
?Type: Race
?Title: Millennial Man
? Rank: Rare
? Ability 1: Aging is reced by experience points.
? Ability 2: All umted knowledge is reced by experience points.
? Specialty 1: Gain a cloaca.
? Specialty 2: Asexual reproduction is possible.
? Specialty 3: Interracial interbreeding is possible.
? Race 1: Excellent adaptability.
? Race 2: Includes various abilities.
Apparently, if one lived more than 1,000 years, they would be apletely different race.
Interracial interbreeding was okay, but cloaca and asexual reproduction had nothing to do with humanity.
If humanity were driven to extinction, would it be possible to reproduce alone? They would lose gene diversity, though.
These features of the race reminded me of Noahs Ark.
But that wasnt all.
?Type: Report Card
? Name: Aaron
? Combat Power: B
? Aplishments: D+
? Reputation: A-
? Personality: B
Shadow As Teacher skill went up, providing me with more information.
Since he was already in the secondary education course, he had two transcendent skills, but his Combat Power was still graded B.
Were those his current grades?
? Denial: Both yes and no. You could say its the arithmetic average of his past grades! That aside I know its against the rules if a teacher shows a student another students grades, but since the student looked at it on his own, it should be okay, right?
Of course, its okay! Youre smart, Trainee Teacher!
Since that was the case, I took a look at his personal file, too.
? Type: Personal File
? Name: Aaron
? Alignment: Lawful Good
? Main Quality: Diligence
? Experience: 1705 years
? Record: 1
? Overall Rating: Oldest among all students in the secondary education course. Showed diligence and fine character since elementary school, except, unfortunately, he was deprived of talent. But I believe that someday his efforts will bear fruit, and he will be the most outstanding student.
1705 years.
I thought I needed to be quiet about my 61-years worth of experience this time around.
I looked at Almond with pity. He was still unsuspectingly muttering to himself.
Hey, Almond.
My name is Aaron, not Almond!
Alright, Diligent Hero Almond. Do you remember your home address, your phone number, or at least your parents names?
What are you talking about?
Judging by the way he dodged the answer, he probably couldnt remember much since he had been here too long.
My heart sank deeper into my chest!
I feel sorry for you. As of today, youre relieved of your duties as a Hero. Youve done enough. Since you have a cloaca and can asexually reproduce, Ill let you choose: a handsome butler or a beautiful maid? Which do you prefer? Ah! Perhaps you like both? Ill help you graduate, so just rest for now and enjoy thepany of beauties and handsome men.
What right do I have to rest?
Shut up and rest.
The righteous Heros wing bone struck between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae of 1705-year-old Almond.
He wouldnt be able to move properly until graduation because of a herniated disc. In return, the beauties and hotties would nurse him for days on end, pleasing him with a nice massage.
He had worked hard for 1705 years. He earned it!
? Touched: Cadet Kang Han-soo caring for other students brings tears to my eyes You have such a kind heart.
That alone is enough to make you cry? Youre sensitive, Trainee Teacher!
The others nothing interesting.
Status, appearance, personal record, grades.
All but Almond, who left apanied by the best servants and maids of the imperial pce, had nothing special.
Sixth Hero No, Your Majesty the Emperor, what do you n to do with us?
Almond was followed by the Female Hero. She introduced herself as the second summoned Hero.
After thinking for a second, I answered her.
We have to send you back to your journey again. Thats what Heroes are supposed to do, after all. If you dont want to, you can resign, and Ill help you find another job. Ill take responsibility for your marriages as well.
I could do that much until they could adjust to their new life and settle down.
Oh! The magnanimity of the MAX-ss Hero had made itself known
Then who will save the world?
Me.
Before next year, I would have the Central and Northern Continents united and solve all the problems.
By yourself?
Naturally.
Thats reckless! If you think oveing the Five Great Disasters will be as easy as it was in your elementary education course, you are mistaken! You will die!
Silence. Only I am allowed to decide if its reckless or not. Regardless, it is now my turn to ask questions.
Go ahead
I decided to ask what Id been wondering all along.
What became of Alex and Lanuvel?
The magic circle only transported the heroes. Alex and Lanuvel, who were supposed to be with them, were nowhere to be found.
I could have checked their school activities myself and not asked questions, but I wasnt a stalker, and I didnt have much free time.
Hero Bmented.
The Phantom King Shakespeare defeated us, killing Alex and reviving him in the process. With our forces falling behind in power, we had to retreat.
Alex had been killed, huh?
I made her continue.
And Lanuvel?
She stayed behind with herpanions from the Northern Continent to hold back the influx of summoned ghosts. Maybe shes already Oh! With thest drops of her magical power, she teleported us to her summoning circle. She didnt have enough magic to include herself, preventing her from escaping with us. She stayed behind instead.
There she goes again.
What?
Nothing.
Lanuvel, always pretending to be nice, could have escaped. She just purposely didnt do it.
That aside
Next question. Why did you attack them so recklessly without the help of angels?
It was a question that had interested me ever since I saw them on the Western Continent.
ording to the Trainee Teachers exnation, only by teaming up with the angels could the Five Great Disasters be defeated.
I had Divinity ZZ, so I was an exception, but not them.
What was their suicidal march to the Western Continent about?
What?
Oh They didnt even know about it. I could see now why Diligent Hero Almond couldnt graduate despite spending 1705 years trying to defeat them.
But that was still amazing. How could he not know about it even after fighting them for 1705 years?
? Defense: Its not surprising at all! After all, there are no angels in the elementary education course, so theres a possibility that the juniors wont even know about such a race. Getting to their city, El Mndo, isnt easy either. You have to somehow find the angels outside their territory first and gain their trust step by step.
Everything was tooplicated!
As it turned out, for as long as they didnt know they needed the angels help, theyd be stuck in a cycle forever.
Poor Hero Almond Mon.
Anyway, its good to have you back, heroes. You probably cant get over losing Alex and Lanuvel, but I hope the reward I have prepared for you will be enough to soothe your pain. Ahem! Aspensation, I grant you five days of rest, after which you must decide whether you will go on a new journey or work for the empire. Now, all thats left is the Seventh Hero. Thank you for waiting.
I looked at the neer.
If he turned away, I wouldve immediately forgotten his ugly face, but somehow I felt like I had seen him somewhere before.
I decided to read his mind.
Tsk. Who knew Id meet the Demon Lord again, the one who pulled on the mask of a Hero! Oh, and became Emperor in the initial location? Haha! He blocked my path at the Festival of Heroes, and now he shows up in the secondary education course? Crazy!
Hmm. Still couldnt remember.
But from the way he was thinking, he was probably Junior A, the one I beat at thest Heroes Festival.
I took a look at his personal file.
? Type: Personal File
? Name: Leon
? Perception: True Neutral
? Property: Rivalry
? Experience: 225 years
? Record: 2
? General Assessment: An excellent student that has great talent. He doesnt like to lose. His only drawback is that he doesnt care what methods he has to use to win. It wouldnt be inappropriate tobel him as the victim of the grading system. Its a shame that he hasnt received attention for a few years now because of the interference of some strange student.
Some strange student? I wonder who that is!
Hero Lemon.
You got my name a little wrong, but I remember you, Kang Han-soo! Its me, your rival, Leon!
Rival?
Thats right! Will you ept my challenge?
Sure.
I wasnt a hero who avoided challenges.
Oh! Have I been acknowledged
Did everyone hear that? For threatening to kill the emperor, he must be locked in an underground prison full of slimes and tortured until he goes insane.
W-Wait!
A hero didnt turn a blind eye to those who might bring trouble and worry in the future.
Chapter 210 - [12th Round] Why Are You Here?
Chapter 210 - [12th Round] Why Are You Here?
I helped the heroes. Even if the state coffers were temporarily empty, I could sponsor them. If any of the Five Great Disasters were killed with that money, I would be better off.
But I couldnt forgive anyone who was aiming for me.
? Advice: Cadet Kang Han Soo, he did do the wrong thing, but if you torture and execute him, itll deal a huge blow to your Reputation and Personality. You shouldnt get your hands dirty just for this.
Miss Trainees words made sense.
Looking at Lemon, who was trying to resist the knights, I spoke.
Stop. I will give Lemon, the traitor, a chance to justify himself. Serve the empire for the next two years. After that, I will no longer hold you responsible for your sins. Even if you desire to leave at that time, I will allow it. However, if you try to escape before that, then I will make you regret that you were born into this world.
C-cruel But I understand!
It was impossible to escape from me. With the help of the teachers authority, I could check the location of any hero at any time. That was, of course, unless he hid in some dark cave.
I also read Lemons thoughts as a precaution.
I spent 90 years on the entrance exam, and as soon as I got into the secondary education course, this happens? Damn it! Whose fault is this? I went to the Northern Continent to get the Sword Princess, but I lost to some strange kid and ended up in F ss
He didnt seem to be thinking about escaping, but he thought about something that I couldnt ignore.
Sword Princess and a strange kid
I wanted to hear more about them, but I couldnt be caught reading minds like teachers, so I endured.
As a result, all problems with the heroes were resolved. However, if that were the only reason for this meeting, I wouldnt have gathered so many important figures.
It was important, of course, to make them bow down since that befitted an emperor, but they werent here to shout Glory! and disperse. If I just wanted to fill the throne room, I wouldnt have gathered aristocrats.
Slowly rising from my throne, I spoke.
Lets start building trade routes. All cities in the empire will be linked to the capital, Monpolis. Do not worry about construction costs. All you have to think about is keeping the roads, which will soon bepleted, in good condition.
Your Majesty, excuse me for my impudence, but did you just say the roads will soon be built? Did I hear that correctly? My ears must already be letting me down because of old age Asked the old duke cautiously, the father of the former queen.
I replied confidently.
Watch carefully what your emperor is capable of.
***
The universe loved me, so my presence had an impact on the environment and weather of the Holy Mon Empire.
There were never such situations where cities or viges were closed due to curses or deadly diseases. There were also no floods or droughts throughout the year, allowing all of my territories to gain a good harvest.
But in neighboring states, everything was different.
In the Holy Empire, which upied 30% of the Central Continent, there was no harvest due to a terrible drought, and in the Trade Republic, all ports were closed due to tsunamis and floods.
Small principalities also had a hard time.
Such was thew of nature.
If it rained a lot in one ce, there wouldnt be enough in other ces. There had to be a bnce.
This year wouldnt be any different.
Food is a weapon.
But I didnt use it as a weapon. There was a good harvestst year, but not enough to send it for export. And given the spike in elf births, we needed to stock up on supplies.
But this was just a standard business theory.
I, the MAX-ss Hero, was more than that.
Because of the powerful love of the universe, I sometimes forget that as the master of Saintess H, I shared the Infinity skill with her.
I could endlessly use fantasy resource skills.
If I wanted to, I could create a Divine Order of Knights MAX that would be much more powerful than the angels, or I could gather an Army of Dark Energy Followers MAX that would grind the Demon Lord to dust.
Regardless of choice, I could easily go to war.
And is it only this?
I didnt know how strong the Five Great Disasters were, but if one hundred thousand Holy Knights with Divinity MAX joined me, they could be easily dealt with.
But I didnt do that.
The empire wasnt perfect yet.
Any power that its owner couldnt control would turn into a terrible poison.
Even if Max-ranked lunatics and pdins betrayed me, receiving the love of the universe, I was confident that I could destroy them even if they numbered in the hundred thousand or millions.
But what would happen to my son?
I didnt want an empire that would fall immediately the moment I stepped aside, even if it was a country that would disappear after the end of the test, like a mirage.
Oo-ooh
Woo-oo-oo
Oo-ooooh
With the help of Magic Power and the skill Control the dead, which I learned on the Western Continent, I revived the ghosts of those eaten by monsters, killed by robbers,mitted suicide due to rape, killed inbat, executed criminals who fell from a ledge, knocked down by a carriage.
I gave the souls of those who couldnt ascend to heaven a new body and brought them to the capital.
One thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, five million
The inhabitants and the heroes trembled.
I told them not to kill them, however, but only to observe.
Oh my God! How many are there?
Even the Phantom King Shakespeare couldnt have summoned so many undead
The heroes who lost Alex and Lanuvel and were now resting at the expense of mypensation suspected me. However, thanks to the effect of the Gifted ZZZ, I was granted the ability to pretend to be ordinary, preventing them from finding anything.
But the subjects who didnt see my status were confident that the emperor had incredible skills, which made things moreplicated.
The locals didnt wee the power of controlling the dead.
Living next to walking corpses of family and ancestors on the Western Continent wasmon, but not on the Central Continent.
If word spread that the Hero was desecrating corpses, it would cause enormous damage to my Reputation.
Therefore, I said only one thing:
Glory to Master Mon!
Glory!
Glory!
Glory!
I returned all credit to the greatest teacher to ever exist.
Finally, the effect began to appear because I praised Master Mon for a year. The subjects stopped suspecting me and began to tremble before the enormous might of my master.
About 20 million undead began to build the roads.
They werepletely naked, like newborns. They dug the ground using only their bare hands and sharp stones.
No pay, no days off, no social security.
They were unarmed, which caused theirbat power to suffer, so they were sometimes attacked by monsters, but their inexhaustible endurance and numbers couldnt be defeated. To eliminate the Monster Bosses, I sent Golem Guardian D and Hero Lemon.
Forests were cleared, hills leveled.
Mountains withkes were no exception.
Due to nonpliance with safety rules, many of the dead were carried away by the river, and then they disappeared in the depths of thekes, but these losses were quickly replenished.
Even the mermaids living in theke werent an obstacle.
Greatest Emperor of the Holy Mon Empire, my name is Aqua, and I am the mermaid princess representing the Lake of Sorrowful Songs.
Lake of Sorrowful Songs.
It was a hugeke located on the border between Dumplings and the Holy Kingdom. It was so gigantic that it could be called a small sea, and most of Fantasys freshwater mermaids lived there.
One could even say that it was the Kingdom of Freshwater Mermaids.
Geographically, it was part of the Holy Mon Empire, but these stupid fish were only interested in finding a strong male, so they were not loyal to me. Still, they didnt resist and simply remained neutral.
Mermaid Aqua, living in thiske, was the Herospanion.
When the dead appeared in their territory, a conflict arose among the local mermaids, and in order to solve this problem, their princess, Aqua, was sent by their queen to meet with me.
? Race: Mermaid
? Level: 999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 200%)
? Skills: Spear Mastery S, Heat Resistance S, Pursuit S, Singing A, Fortitude A
? Status: Excited, Shivering, Sex Drive, Patient
Her skill ranks were higher than in elementary education, but her status was worse than ever.
Stink- beautiful mermaid, what brings you here?
Well
Look at me when you speak.
I-I apologize.
Aqua had her own inn near theke, so she knew a lot about human society. She was one of those rare mermaids who followed etiquette, and even now, she tried to observe the rules of decency.
But who knew that her gaze would fall on that part of my body.
The spirits that lived between the legs expressed their displeasure, but the princess wasnt aware of it.
Princess Aqua, I have a lot to say, but first, I want to know if you have the right to represent all mermaids before the ruler of the Holy Mon Empire. I do not want to ignore the opinion of the beautiful mermaids living in the Lake of Sorrowful Songs. Do you, as a princess, have the right to take responsibility for your people?
I do. I haveplete power.
I expected such an answer.
The Mermaid Queen was just a stupid fish, not versed in human politics. Fortunately, instead of power, they only had sexual intents in their heads, so there was no possibility of a coup dtat on their part.
But Princess Aqua was different.
She was still a mermaid, however, and still had her limits.
Then thats enough. Princess Aqua, if you sign this agreement, then I will raise you in an aquarium in my office. What will be your decision?
Your Majesty! I am not a decorative fish
What will be your decision?
Please give me time to think.
I turned the Lake of Sorrowful Songs into a tourist attraction.
Changing the old dreary name to Mon Lake, I made the ce a center of entertainment with lovely mermaids as service staff.
Gambling houses, aquariums, restaurants, hotels, concert halls
A localmute service was introduced from the very first day, which utilized boats pulled by mermaids.
ording to the agreement, the freshwater mermaids living in Mon Lake had be my pets.
They were now the private property of the Holy Mon Empires Emperor, so if anyone hunted or injured them, they would immediately be dered a traitor and sentenced to death! I cared about the welfare of my subjects, after all.
Of course, all the ie earned by the mermaids went into my pocket.
Nine months passed that way.
? Surprise: The endless capacity for work of the dead is impressive. It feels as if I just witnessed the industrial revolution.
And no emissions, Trainee Teacher.
On Earth, the emissions led to global warming, causing ciers to melt and the level of the worlds oceans to rise.
But I didnt me Earth. There was no magic there.
Instead, Iughed at the savages of the Fantasy World. They had such an amazing energy resource, but they didnt use it for anything but the silliest reasons, making their lives harder than they needed to be.
That aside, the trade routes werepleted.
All towns and viges were now linked to the capital, Monpolis.
Channels and reservoirs were dug to avoid flooding.
Farnds were expanded, and new viges were built.
But there were no farmers to cultivate thosends.
I solved that with the help of the dead for now, but I needed to increase our poption faster.
After all, in the empire, which my son would rule, there would be no undead. He could mobilize people, but with such a huge territory, it would be difficult.
There was nothing to be done about it. He didnt have the Infinity skill after all.
Your Majesty, ambassadors have arrived from the Trade Republic.
Their ports were damaged, due to whichmunication with the Eastern Continent was interrupted. As a result, the Trade Republic was unable to solve the food problem on its own.
They somehow survived by smuggling food from the Holy Mon Empire, since in the name of Master Mon, export was strictly prohibited.
To solve this problem, the traders came in person.
But they stillsted a long time. Or was it because the Holy Empire had a bad harvest this year?
Tell them to wait. Im feeding the fish.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Princess Aqua, who almost bit off my finger, ducked back into the huge aquarium.
Ssh-Ssh!
Even if she was called a traitor to the race, she still lived with a happy expression on her face.
I heard that she would go to the pond of the imperial garden when she was bored and would have fun there with Mermaid A.
Drug Hero, it seems that you were given the wrong job. The First Spirit said, sitting on my head and watching the growth of the Holy Mon Empire.
I think so too. If the Hero job hadnt constrained me, I would have been able to run the country more effectively.
If I were not a hero, I couldve easily united the world with the help of war and not this slow method.
Still, it was worth fearing Master Mon!
The inhabitants of Fantasy should be grateful for the foresight of the First Angel, who made a hero out of you.
What does that mean?
To keep my life intact, I will use the right to remain silent.
Not just one or two ambassadors had arrived from the Trade Republic.
For the sake of negotiations, a variety of heads of tradingpanies and sessors personally arrived.
As expected, they demanded food. And in return, they promised various concessions.
I see no real benefit for me here.
Some old mines, a port abandoned by pirates, an offer to marry someones daughter, etc.
It didnt sound that bad, but all this wouldnt benefit the empire.
Your Majesty, what are you talking about?
Didnt youe here without finding out a little about me?
These arrogant hucksters wouldnt be able to easily cheat a hero who had prophetic dreams. I knew the situation in the Trade Republic like the back of my hand, just like who they were. The sessor of Trader D, adopted daughter of Trader U, son of Trader P, younger brother of Trader G, daughter of Trader K, adopted son of Trader T, daughter of Demon Lord, daughter of Trader J, wife of Trader S Huh?
What did I just say?
I looked over the faces of the traders again. As expected, I found a surprise.
She disguised herself, but my eyes couldnt be fooled.
How could I forget her vile chest that even the Holy Sword bounced off of? How naive. Since she was disguising herself, she had to change her body to a normal one.
What are you doing here?
The MAX-ss Hero had discovered the violent Demon Lords daughter!
Chapter 211 - [12th Round] Investors and Developers
Chapter 211 - [12th Round] Investors and Developers
Your Majesty, it is true that I run the Dark Commerce thats hiding in the Trade Republic, but please dont call me the Demon Lords daughter simply because of that.
Is that so?
Was it because of the people around us?
Dark Commerce?! You deceived us all!
Damn it! So thats why To think I really liked you!
I knew it! Your incredible figure has been suspicious right from the beginning!
Who knew that there was an enemy among us
The ambassadors from the Trade Republic immediately expressed their disdain towards her.
The Dark Commerce was arge retailwork among medium and small businesses.
The enterprises of the Trade Republic could also be consideredrge, but their influence extended only within the Central Continent.
The Dark Commerce had been around for so long that they had connections across all five continents of Fantasy, leaving the Trade Republic no match for them. They openly vited thews of the countries in which they operated, makingpetition even more problematic.
But these merchants were just pretending to boycott them when they were actually relying on it. In the first round, that was often the case.
Mypanions had raided their ck Market in one of the viges. Though they used violence, they still saved the debtors. With a calm heart and without looking back, we then went on with our journey.
And a yearter
That viges situation became miserable.
Having rid themselves of their debts, the locals, full of hope, worked diligently. However, they could no longer find buyers for their goods.
Traders didnt visit remote viges that didnt have money. In addition, they didnt want to deal with defective debtors who rebelled because they couldnt pay off what they owed.
And even if they did business with them, they carried out dishonest deals that unfairly favored themselves since they had an advantage.
Silence. Unless you want only corpses to return to your homnd.
Realizing they had raised a fuss in front of the emperor, they immediately did as ordered.
Stop wasting my time with your empty talk, merchants. If you want to survive and meet your families again, then leave. Now. And when youe back, make sure your business will be worth my while. Otherwise, be prepared to lose everything.
The traders faces turned pale. Escorted by the knights, they left without even looking back.
I hastened to add:
You. Stay. Or do you see yourself as a traveling merchant, Mrs. Dark Commerce?
-Im a miss.
-You are the wife of the Marquis. Youre already a missus.
This cowardly demoness hid her true identity on the Northern Continent by marrying someone of high status.
Hence, she was definitely a Mrs.
I dont know what you mean, Your Womanizing Majesty.
Im a bachelor.
Although I had a son, I wasnt married.
Regardless, because of that one phrase, I was convinced once more. She cowardly hid her skills and behaved like a human, but she was definitely a demon.
? Race: Human

If not for her mean figure and familiar looks, even I wouldnt have recognized her.
All of you. Out.
There were no longer any subjects or knights next to me. No one would think that such a weak trader with thin arms and legs could somehow harm the Hero, after all.
Only me and the tradeswoman now remained in the imperial hall.
Cowardly Hero, how did you recognize me?
As soon as everyone left, she showed her true colors. She still looked human, but that didnt matter.
I answered honestly.
Intuition.
Youre insane.
The Demon Lords daughter, Ssosia, rubbed her forearms with both hands. She acted like she was a beauty in front of an excited pursuer.
So you havent lost your memories?
Do you still like conquests?
Ssosia sat down on an empty chair, crossing her legs.
No merchant should behave like that in front of the emperor, but she was no longer a merchant. At that moment, she was the daughter of the Demon Lord fighting against the Hero.
Social status no longer mattered.
Ill be upset if you ignore me, the First Spirit brazenly intervened, dangling her legs from my head.
Auntie, your presence, as always, is weak.
How dare you say that?! Drug Hero, teach her a lesson!
To begin with, I wanted to use my fingers to teach the insolent spirit a lesson for ceaselessly beating my forehead with her heels, but since I could do that at any time, I decided to postpone it forter.
Since my aunt is with you, Spineless Hero, then you probably already know the truth.
Youre one of the creators of this world.
Yes. Together with my fathers sister, I created a system that would raise heroes tailored to defeat my father, for he was too obsessed with his childhood dream of dominating the entire universe. Looking at the result, then perhaps this is a huge sess. The graduates defeated my father, thanks to which this system spread throughout the entire universe. All of the current skill holders came from the same school, too.
Indeed
We could say that this was a great sess.
If the students of one particr academy monopolized the management of politics and the economy, it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that this school ruled the entirety of civilization.
That was the epitome of modern warfare. There was no need to shed blood anymore.
But this is a victory that has no winner. Think of this as a game where the investor and the developer had a falling out. Due to that, though it was once popr worldwide, it found itself in a long duration of stagnation, and instead of updates, only apologies were released by the developer.
So youre the developer?
Yes, and my aunt is the investor who gave me the power to develop the system. She wanted to swallow too much of it, causing her to choke. She doesnt understand anything in the system either, although thats probable due to the security password I set.
It sounded childish, but that often happened in the modern world.
A situation in which a flourishingpany crumbled down the moment the investor and the leader fell out over different views.
The situation was the same here.
In other words
Youre just a demon with a vile chest now.
The system seems to have messed up. To think it has chosen a pervert, an obscene man like you, as a hero
Well, that man youre talking about is your fianc.
Father decided that without my knowledge!
Then you should be grateful to the Demon Lord. Where else will you find a father that would get worried about his daughter not being able to marry even though she imprisoned him?
Unless you know anything about the society of demons, you better keep your mouth shut.
She was just like her father.
Both spoke in such a way that made it difficult to argue back.
Oh But youre right, Cowardly Hero. I can no longer interfere with the system, degrading me into nothing but a tool for growing heroes. My current position is the head of the Dark Commerce. Youre the only being here who can bring me down.
So you came to have me do it again? Youre quite the slut, arent you?
No! I was just curious who the crazy hero is thats been making money off mermaids, so I came to see him in person! I dont want to hear about your fantasies! That really spoils my mood. Ssosia wore a cold expression.
It pissed me off.
You think youre the only one whose mood has been spoiled? I thought talking to the creator of this stupid Fantasy system would enlighten me, but you turned out to be a simple bag of experience points.
You as soon as I regain my original strength, I will immediately turn you into a eunuch and make you regret your behavior for the rest of my life.
How about I teach you a lesson right now?
Ha! Can you do it?
In an attempt to provoke me, she clicked her tongue and began to change forms.
Above the ears on both sides, as befitted demons, two horns appeared, and her skin turned light red.
From a fragile person, she became a powerful demon.
But
Of course, I can.
What?!
I didnt just stand still and watched her finish her transformation. I couldnt allow her to do that.
If a battle broke out here, we would destroy the entire imperial pce, which was the heart of the empire. If it copsed, then my ns would be put to an end.
I couldnt let that happen.
Grabbing her by her newly grown horns, I struck my knee across the bridge of her nose. However, she just screamed without receiving any injuries.
The bridge I wanted to break was still intact.
Then
Summoning the Holy Sword Nucleon, I aimed at the cleft between her breasts. From there, she wouldnt be able to deflect my sword.
Ding!
What?
The tip of my de didnt even prate her skin.
S-surrender now. Attacking me before Iplete the transformation is cowardly. Even though my aunt betrayed me and kicked me out, I, as a developer, am under the absolute protection of the Fantasy system. There is no way you can harm me in this dimension!
Thats a bug!
More like a perk.
Her transformation wasplete.
? Race: Second Demon

? Status: Magic (Demonic) Sword
She had a lot of ZZ-rank skills. But that was nothingpared to the entrance exam where Alex had Sword Mastery ZZZ.
Ssosia opened her purple wings and tried to fly away quickly, but I didnt let her go.
Releasing the wings of the righteous hero, I instantly closed the distance and grabbed her by her slender neck.
Kh- What kind of power is this
Useless demoness, did you think you can win against me since were already in the secondary education course?
Even though my stats are hidden As expected of you, you still managed to catch me- Hggngh?!
Although she wasnt injured, that didnt change the fact that I had enormousbat power. She wasnt a statue either, but a living organism. She would still feel this pain, and she could still get dislocated bones.
I started between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebra.
From here on out, the moment she turned her head, she would feel terrible difort.
As soon as Ssosia twisted in pain, she fell to her knees and touched the floor with her hands, a huge hole immediately forming under her.
If we started fighting in full force, then the imperial pce would copse within a second.
We cant fight here.
I couldnt immobilize her or kill her instantly, which meant that my surprise attack had failed. There was no choice but for us to move to another location.
I threw Ssosia out the window.
Drawing an arc in the air, she flew out, breaking it, and immediately tried to regain bnce in the air by pping her wings.
However, I didnt let here to her senses.
Soaring to the skies through my wings of the righteous hero, I caught up with her before she fell to the ground. I then kicked her body upward, throwing her into the air again.
This way, we could fight as much as we wanted.
? Confusion: From the concept of the secondary education courses perspective, the goal of the Hero is to beat up the demons, but I, for some reason, feel guilty watching this
You must remain strong, beautiful Trainee Teacher! Shes just a worthless demon!
I couldnt take her lightly, though.
What the hell was that?! How can you punch a woman in the face? And you dare call yourself a righteous hero? Arent I supposed to be your fiancee?!
You denied it.
Hmph! Fine! Then I wont hold back either!
Violet energy appeared around Ssosia. I had seen such a picture before.
The Old Prince used it during the Battle of the Pacific.
I activated the special effects of Brave.
? Race: Dual-core Cosmic Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Brave (All around = Level 1)

Now I was level 1.
The same happened with Ssosia, who triggered this effect. But the changes on her part didnt end with a level drop.
Her entire body turned dark gray, and a dark haze began to emanate from her.
Is this some kind of demonic awakening?
In her right hand was a familiar sword.
I didnt want to resort to this, but since you keep scoffing at the efforts of others, Ill teach you a lesson for the sake of the womans happiness, which will someday marry the viin that you are. Its time for you to see the difference between us, you ve of skills.
Teach me a lesson
My brows quirked up in irritation, but I decided to concentrate.
Yet another detestable transformation? I thought a summon would be the perfect answer to it.
Ssosia, I dont want your future husband to not lose all his hair from the stress youll give him, so Ill teach you a lesson. Come forth, Captain Fantasy.
Ah
In this universe, only Master Mon and my mothers tennis racket could teach me a lesson.
Chapter 212 - [12th Round] Blink
Chapter 212 - [12th Round] Blink
Captain Fantasy!
That gigantic infants skin was as strong and resilient as Master Mons, and the essence of dark matter, the new technique of the Demon Lord Pedonar, was concentrated in its plump arms.
Resembling the wings of the First Spirit, he had the Captains Wings on his back, allowing him to fly freely. He also had his huge head that frightened even the Dragon King Noebius.
W-what is this?! This child
Woah!
He had skills, but he didnt rely on them, depriving them of special roles.
In addition, he inherited the characteristics of the human race.
That gave him endless possibilities.
Having bitterly lost thest time, Captain Fantasy, using that experience, had be even stronger!
That was human tenacity.
Anyone looking from afar would think his palms looked like that of a babys, but for Ssosia, who was at close range with him, his palms were huge walls, perhaps no different from Buddhas palms.
Captain Fantasy didnt even need to use his best attack, the headbutt.
He ignored the sword emitting violet light and patted the little demoness with his heavy hand.
Aaaaaghh! Ssosia shouted, pinned to the ground.
If she were an ordinary demon, then her body would have been crushed beyond recognition, but she was fine.
The clever Captain Fantasys eyes lit up. He truly did look like me.
He then went straight to action.
Opening his mouth, which didnt even have front teeth, Captain Fantasy threw Ssosia in. He then rolled his tongue as if sucking on a pacifier.
He wanted to swallow her. However, as befitting her high stature, Ssosia didnt give in so easily.
A thin hand appeared between Captain Fantasys lips. Then another followed.
Finally, her head, with his hair and face covered in saliva, appeared.
I came closer.
You said you were teaching me a lesson.
Just you wait. Ill do it soon. Ugh!
Ssosia made an effort to pull her body out, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldnt pull out anything but her arms and head.
I immediately understood the reason.
Your chest is stuck, isnt it?
Ssosia didnt answer me. Instead, she concentrated on trying to get out. However, despite her extreme efforts, she couldnt break thews of physics.
Captain Fantasy flopped to the ground.
Judging by the high mountain ranges, we were at the border that separated the Central and Western Continents.
The mountains couldnt support the childs weight, causing it to copse, but that wasnt worth worrying about.
Oo-ooooh?
Ku-ku?!
Trooo-ooh!
The surprised monsters, seeing the cute kid, immediately rushed away, not even thinking to attack.
Noise in the same level as marketces surrounded us before they escaped, but now only the breathing of the Demon Lords daughter remained.
Haa haaa
It was apletely natural biological reaction.
Captain Fantasy licked Ssosias entire body with his tongue. It seemed like she wanted to somehow prevent it but couldnt since she was stuck between his lips.
Her expression changed every second.
Hey. How about you just let him swallow you?
I cant even get back in. The tongue of this monster continues to- H-hah?!
How rough. Hes not a monster. Hes Captain Fantasy. Hes a cute protector that looks like me as a kid.
I get it, so make him S-stop A-ah!
She really did seem to be in a quandary.
Ssosias arms that were iling in all directions just a while ago now did nothing but hang down. Her gaze had defocused as well, her saliva flowing from her slightly parted purple lips.
Her trembling body confirmed that she was still alive.
Repent as you have fun with a cute child.
L-let me go A-ughhh!
Ille back tomorrow. If I forget, then Ille back when I remember.
Demon!
Now she decided to call me, the Righteous Hero, a Demon?
Still, there was no limit to my generosity.
I gave her time to think and would return when she was ready to talk. After all, I had no reason to rush.
Seeing the sessors of the tradingpaniese, I was convinced that the Trading Republic had reached its limit.
War, economic blockade, armed protest, disunity
It didnt matter what I used. Everything would work out in my favor.
The time hade.
Shall we continue the unification of the Central Continent?
***
Realizing their weakness, the heroes, who were defeated on the western continent, cleared the dungeons of the Holy Mon Empire and again went to the Western Continent.
Their goal was to assassinate Shakespeare, one of the Five Great Disasters, but in reality, they simply wanted to save the Princess of Darkness, the Knight of Darkness, and Lanuvel, whose fate remained unknown. Of course, they wanted to get Alex back as we, became one of their enemies.
But if they went like that, they wouldve lost again.
Hence, I made the angel that I had resurrected in the Chimera Haven S apany them. The impudent heroes wanted to take Aqua too, but I didnt allow it.
After all
Your Majesty the Emperor! If you send a woman on a military campaign, it will negatively affect the soldiers morale. Besides, shes unarmed.
The deeply wrinkled old general advised against it. He had guarded the state border we shared with the Trade Republic since the days of the Holy Kingdom.
It didnt matter to him who became the ruler. He was not interested in politics. This honest man had dedicated his entire life to defending the borders against the invasion of monsters and the troops of the Trade Republic.
That was why he talked to me like that.
Good point, Count.
War was for men, and family was for women.
I understood that for modern people, that might sound old-fashioned, but we werent on Earth. This was the Fantasy World.
There was no advanced weaponry here that only required one pull of the trigger to kill the opponent.
The main weapons here were swords and spears.
The average weight of a medieval 2-meter sword or 6-meter spear was 5 kilograms, but they were much heavier and much longer on the Continents of Fantasy.
Monsters lived here, after all. Ones that not even wolves, tigers, and lions couldpare against in terms of strength and abilities.
Therefore, physical strength here wasnt an option but a requirement.
It was easier for men to build muscle than women.
But there were also exceptions.
Skills helped women ovee their physical limitations better than any modern weapon. They could increase theirbat power not by building muscles but by maintaining a beautiful figure.
Thepanions of the heroes confirmed that fact.
Men dominated the ranks of soldiers, knights, and mercenaries, but among the heroespanions, the ratio of men and women was the same. That being said, such females were special, their numbers being countable with just one hand.
Mermaid Aqua was a good example of this.
Then why
The mermaid will lead us to victory, Count. She looks like an obscene fish, but in fact, herbat power is higher than that of some soldiers and knightsbined. I hate to admit it, but its true.
Since you say so, Your Majesty, I will never dare doubt your judgment. Haha!
I had gathered an army near the border of the Trade Republic.
The victory was already a foregone conclusion.
Money was important, but mercenaries valued their lives more than gold. It didnt matter how much was offered to them. They wouldnt fight.
The Trade Republic was full of war goods.
But they had no food, which was extremely important in a war. Therefore, even if we didnt attack, the victory would be with the Holy Mon Empire.
Youll soon find out, Count. When they run out of food, they will be the first to attack. At that moment, youll realize how powerful she truly is. Regardless, for the safety of the refugees and deserters, you must wait. It doesnt matter if this order leaks out as well as it will only instill even more despair in them.
As you desire, Your Majesty.
I didnt dere war.
I just watched my borders, and to prove this, we didnt wear any armor or weapons.
I was a little uneasy about the naked mermaid, but their slippery skin was pretty good armor in itself.
That was why mermaids usually didnt wear clothes.
Two dayster, the Trade Republic sent a messenger. They knew they had no chance of winning this war.
This time, they didnt send a merchant.
Judging by his appearance and manners, he was a young knight who had graduated from an elite course. For convenience, I called him Knight A.
I am honored to meet the Holy Mon Empires Emperor.
What do you want?
Order your army to retreat.
What army?
Are you really still going to make excuses that everything isnt as it seems in this situation? I am talking about the army located on the border. The insolent knight was blunt with his words.
I smiled.
Do you think that I came to fight?
Well
Knight A couldnt answer right away.
In my temporary headquarters, instead of knights and warriors, there were many fine maids. And the count looked even older than when we first met, so his appearance was only to our advantage.
There were many delicious foods on the table. No military maps or strategic reports.
And I?
I was sitting not on a chair but a soft bed, massaging Acquas slippery body.
I am the emperor of the Holy Mon Empire. I have no rtives or descendants. People must always carry weapons with them in self-defense, especially those in high positions, which is why I am under the protection of my troops, regardless of whether the war is going on or not. Am I wrong for doing this, young knight?
Youre still asserting that the army located on our border is needed only for your escort?
Yes, and Im also the one who ordered for its numbers to be decreased. Is that not so, Count?
It is, Your Majesty.
He brought with him manyints, but the fact that he had managed to survive this long amounted to something. I knew that we would work together even if we didnt n everything in advance.
Youre a hero, Your Majesty, and you are a powerfulbatant. Considering that, there are too many armed people outside.
You sound as if youre upset that with so many guards, its impossible to assassinate me.
That isnt true! Our Republic would never
Shut up, child. How dare you raise your voice here. Even though I look kind, I am still the ruler of this country. Dont act too familiar with me. Now, do you still have anything to say?
The rationale for any action was essential in the Fantasy World. I justified all this by stating that I simply went for a walk apanied by guards.
Your Majesty, God is watching everything. He does not forgive cruelty.
Yeah. If there were no justification, one would need to rely on a miracle from God.
What a familiar repertoire.
Lets see whose God is stronger, shall we? If you have nothing more to say, dont waste my time and return home.
After Knight A left, an army was sent to provoke us. They werent from the Trade Republic, but the Holy Empire.
Regardless, I didnt withdraw my troops.
And the next morning, a preemptive strike came from the Trade Republic without any deration of war, as expected of the savages.
Its noisy outside. Sort it out.
I will, Your Majesty.
My fish-reeking warmonger, furious at being interrupted amid her pleasantries, eliminated the entire army at once.
She showed no mercy.
And so we met a fresh morning.
The Trade Republic attacked without dering war yet was still defeated. Soon after, they disappeared from the history of Fantasy under a barrage of criticism from other countries.
Yet, why did my soul seem restless since yesterday?
I seem to have forgotten about some important meeting but I cant remember which one.
In any case, only the Holy Empire remained untouched on the central continent of Fantasy.
Chapter 213 - [12th Round] The Great Master
Chapter 213 - [12th Round] The Great Master
Due to a prolonged drought in the Holy Empire, they hadnt seen any harvest for the second year in a row now. That only further weakened the power of the emperor.
It was a country ruled by God, after all.
But the emperor, who proimed himself God, was unable to solve the drought problem. As a result, it led to the invocation of his citizens distrust.
Was there a use for a god that could do nothing?
This is the limit of a god created for political purposes.
But in this world, unlike the Earth, there was magic.
When a country suffered from drought or floods, they could use magic to cause rain clouds or, on the contrary, disperse them.
On Earth, special nes were used for this, but it was so expensive that it was better to abandon farming altogether for the year.
What about magic?
In the Fantasy World, wizards were considered elite.
It was just that there were so many wizards on the Northern Continent that their services became cheap. Due to the greatpetition, many of those from the northern continent moved to the Central Continent, which was the nearest ce they could go to.
Theynded at the port of the Holy Empire, which ruled the northern part of the continent, and settled nearby. Due to the geographic location, this was a natural oue.
Because of these migrations, the Holy Empire became the only country on the Central Continent that knew how to control the weather.
In the Northern Continent, weather control was called beneficial magic, but in the Central Continent, it was considered a miracle of God.
That was why the Holy Empire was called Holy.
But it was no longer like that. Magic couldnt oppose the drought that urred due to the energy of the universe. A heavy downpour should havee upon casting the most powerful spell they had in their arsenal, but only a drizzling rain did.
Therefore, new measures were needed.
Isnt that right, Imperial Princess?
The Emperors daughter had arrived from the Holy Empire.
There were three years left before the initial call of the Hero. Because of this, the daughter of the emperor was still contentedly young and couldnt boast of any outstanding features.
Still, this girl with big ambitions had a good head. She had been interested in politics since childhood. That was evidenced by the fact that now before me wasnt the first son of the emperor, but the princess, ready to swallow her own homnd entirely without choking.
So the rumors were true. There is nothing that you do not know, Your Majesty.
Usually, princesses waited quietly behind, like a beautifully wrapped doll, but she was different. She stepped forward, covering the real ambassador who apanied her, and came face to face with me.
Regardless, nobody said anything. After all, her future life depended on this meeting.
Why?
A marriage of convenience
Your Majesty, did this happen in the future?
No. Never. I once trained an imperial princess with my holy spear but never married her.
Just now
The Holy Empire realized that they could not defeat the Holy Mon Empire in a war, so they chose a marriage of convenience.
They were giving their daughter up in exchange for food.
After all, it was beneficial for them.
First, through this marriage, it would be possible to strengthen the emperors reputation, which had fallen below the baseboard due tock of food, ultimately stabilizing the economy. Secondly, it would eliminate the daughter trying to prevent the eldest son from inheriting the throne. Third, by manipting food distribution, the loyalty of the aristocracy could be restored.
Well, there was so much more.
Then what is the benefit of this for the Holy Mon Empire? As you can see, there are already many beauties around me, so I dont need anything from you.
The more beauties, the better, right?
Do you mean that you are beautiful?
I n to be one within three years.
Huh how cocky.
Have you seen what I became in the future?
More or less.
It was true that I wasnt interested in the young princess in front of me, but it wasnt even a matter of appearance.
It wasnt her fault that she was too young.
In a society of aristocratic Fantasy, this was quite normal. A boy was considered a man after the first night with a lover or maid, and a girl was considered a woman after her first menstrual period.
Apparently, she had already gone through it.
This is just a political marriage, but it seems to me that Ive fallen in love with you. Perhaps this is the love at first sight that Ive always heard of.
Whoa! That was a nice way of putting it.
And you are straightforward.
Its true. Whenever I meet your Majestys gaze, my heart begins to beat so hard that it feels like its about to jump out of my chest. This is the first time I have met a man like you, Your Majesty.
Before me was just a young image of an insidious woman who removed her brother to take the throne, and now she had put on the mask of a stupid girl.
How ridiculous.
She tried to defeat the Hero with 61 years of experience in eloquence.
Dont bother me, but get down to business, Imperial Princess. Tell me, how will the Holy Mon Empire benefit from this marriage? If you cannot, then you will return only with a scandal to your home.
You will receive everything that belongs to me, Your Majesty.
Many people were around, so she tried to speak in hints, but I understood exactly what she wanted to say.
Everything that belonged to her.
If she were a simple woman, this phrase would mean nothing. But since the emperors daughter was the one who said it, this became apletely different level of conversation.
Anything that belonged to the daughter of the emperor?
Position in society, blood ties, body, love, loyalty, skills, power
Those words included much more than the body and soul of an ordinary woman.
In other words, if this marriage took ce, then she would give me the Holy Empire.
That was exactly how it would go. She wasnt the emperor, but she was still his daughter. Therefore, it also wasnt the worst option.
Although I already expected that everything would lead to this.
Imperial Princess of the Holy Empire, as you already understand, you are not ready yet. However, Ill give you a chance. Get yourself in order ande back in 3 months. Then lets talk about the wedding. However, to avoid scandals, I will give you a gift, so dont be upset.
As expected, you are no simple person. That just makes me love you even more.
Show me the result of your feelings.
I shall, Your Majesty. Three months isnt a long time, but if you send a good gift, I will do my best to look even better.
That concluded our deal.
Some would think that I didnt like her appearance, so I turned her down, while others would think that the reason for the refusal was theck of benefits for the Holy Mon Empire.
But that wasnt it.
What gift should I send
The imperial princess had no influence in her country.
She had developed the image of a beautiful doll, which was used for a marriage of convenience.
Therefore, it was necessary to make up for this deficiency.
I believe in your discretion, Your Majesty. I think you know perfectly well what to give me.
Stop acting so impudent, Imperial Princess. Believe it or not, your words do not affect my decision.
Oh! Forgive me for being rude!
I didnt like this woman after all.
After thinking for a second, I decided.
Ill send you some food as a gift. And since you personally deserve it, only you have the right to dispose of this food. I will send a caretaker with you on behalf of the Holy Mon Empire. He shall deal with anyone whod try to steal from you for their own profits.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
To avoid misunderstanding, Ill state this outright. The name of your escort is Green Cake, my adopted son and dragon. You must have heard about him.
I didnt want to recognize the reptile as my son, but there was no choice.
As I was the Emperor of the Holy Mon Empire, my favor wouldnt be taken for granted. Even the Emperor of the Holy Empire wouldnt dare object.
After all, the Holy Mon Empire annexed even the Trade Republic, bing the master of the Central Continent. Our only remaining rival, the Holy Empire, could do nothing.
As you wish, father- Your Majesty! I will do my best to protect the food and not tarnish the honor of the Holy Mon Empire and its greatest emperor! Cheerfully answered the boy who heard our conversation from the corner of the hall.
His hair, eyes, and clothes were green. Anyone could tell by his appearance what kind of dragon he was.
He was still young, but it was already evident that he was a Divine Dragon.
And this wasnt a spontaneous decision.
We could say that this was a coincidence.
I never called him son, but everyone in the pce and the capital inhabitants knew that he was.
He was called a son, unlike the emperor, which was only natural. There was not a drop of my blood in his veins.
Ah
Surprised by the gift, the imperial princess couldnt close her mouth.
Green Cake. Stay with the princess as she spearheads the distribution of the food I have given her for three months. However, dont meddle in her affairs.
As you wish, my Lord!
I didnt like the imperial princess, who cared not about the means shed use to reach her ambitions, but it was worth recognizing her diligence and skills.
It would be excellent if Green Cake learned something from her. He was now far from bing the greatest evil dragon, anyway.
I will wait.
But there was something I hated about this. This n was perfect because I chose the best of 37 options that went through my head in a second.
It felt as if I forgot something important.
***
Three monthster, the Holy Empire split into three factions:
The traditional faction, which supported the old emperor.
The aristocrats that supported his food-bearing daughter.
And traitors who wanted to join the Holy Mon Empire.
But in reality, 2/3 were on the same side.
ording to Saintess H, to gain Green Cakes favor, the daughters of the aristocrats lined up in front of him.
The imperial princess held feasts every day, luring the aristocrats with food and parties.
Ordinary residentsined as they continued to die due to prolonged drought and hunger, but she did not pay attention to them.
Because theseints only weakened the power of the emperor.
The Imperial Princess of the Holy Empire and the aristocrats had a reason for hosting feasts. They were showing off to Green Cake, the Prince of the Holy Mon Empire, to earn more food.
And feasts were necessary for that.
For the most part, though, hungry aristocrats came to the princess to fill their stomachs.
The point was that there was a reason for everything.
Lets overthrow the ipetent emperor!
My wife and children are dying of hunger!
Show us Gods miracle!
Save my mother, false God!
Long live the Holy Mon Empire!
Protests began in front of the Imperial Pce of the Holy Empire.
At first, they tried to suppress them, but the number of rioters only increased, leaving them with no other option but to block the entrance to the pce.
I watched this using the Teachers Authority skill.
This is more convenient than I thought.
I sent Lemon to spy on the Holy Empire, posing as a mercenary.
In other words, I saw the situation in which Hero Lemon was now.
Drug Hero, then why did youe here? The First Spirit questioned my actions again, sitting on my head.
As she said, I sneaked out of the Imperial Pce and entered the Holy Empire.
It was all to meet Master Mon.
I felt fear and respect every time I met with him, but our meeting could no longer be postponed.
It didnt matter what happened to the Holy Empire.
I was curious about the vige where Master Mon lived.
I was stupid. You should have thought about this earlier. Everything will be alright with Master Mon, but the girl and her parents are ordinary people. If something happens to them, Master Mon will be angry.
This wasnt an assumption but rather a belief.
I didnt know why, but when the fake princess created by the Phantom King Shakespeare on the Western Continent got into trouble, the fake Master Mon came to her defense.
Then I thought I was finished.
Drug Hero, you worry too much.
You can say that only because you know youll never disappear.
Which means you wont disappear either due to the new characteristics of the race.
Tsk, tsk. I really dont know. Master Mon can easily ignore this entire Fantasy system. Thats how incredible he is.
I mean, hes just a slime
Drug Spirit, jealousy is bad.
Hmph!
Spreading the wings of the righteous hero, I flew all day to the vige where Master Mon lived, talking with the First Spirit.
But something felt wrong here.
I decided to ask the passing Merchant A.
Lets talk.
Eh?! My throat- Kh! Let me go!
After talking to him, I found out that this was the only area in the Holy Empire that hadnt been affected by the drought.
The year wasnt the most fruitful, but it was prosperous enough to live.
Because of this feature, this vige, unlike others, was prosperous.
My God
When I first heard about this, I was also surprised. Who knew that this vige would grow into a city? The wizards tried to find out why only this vige managed to avoid the drought and concluded that it was all due to the fact that this ce is closest to the city of angels El Mndo. Thanks to the blessing of the angels, this location was able to avoid this cmity.
Is that so
Blessings of the angels?
These rogue chickens had taken all the glory for themselves
C-can I go now?
Haha! Thanks for the detailed exnations. Have a nice trip, Merchant A.
Have a nice trip too. I hope we dont meet again Ahem! Anyway, see you!
Was it because I grabbed him too hard by the throat? He immediately ran away without looking back.
The vige where Master Mon lived has be a city. There was no end to the merchants who came here for food and supplies.
The reason for this was the greatest being, Master Mon.
Even the power of the universe couldnt withstand him.
Regardless
Youre next.
I, the righteous MAX-ss Hero, looked up at the sky.
I decided to punish the vile chickens who stole the glory of the greatest teacher to ever exist!
Chapter 214 - [12nd Round] Second Curse
Chapter 214 - [12nd Round] Second Curse
? Confusion: Theres never been such a case before, so I cant say for sure who stopped the disaster
Trainee Teacher, if you believe in Master Mon, you will be more beautiful. Mon.
How should I deal with those hypocrites and get rid of these false rumors? There are many different ways Ah!
Drug Hero, whats wrong with you? You have a strange expression on your face.
I remembered what I forgot.
Without hesitation, I concentrated. After a while, a huge baby fell from the sky onto El Mndo.
WOMP!
***
Cr-cru-cruel! Cru- Cruel, Cru-
I didnt refute anything and didnt make excuses in front of the woman who insulted me, loudly pronouncing every syble.
Because
You said you woulde the next day, didnt you? You said so! Is that duration what youd call a single day? I still believed that you woulde at least in two or three days. I believed that even a spineless hero like you would have a conscience andpassion! But You are simply the worst in the whole universe! Youre worse than a demon!
The Demon Lords daughter, Ssosia, finally got out of the mouth of Captain Fantasy and decided to release everything that had umted in her soul.
Hmmm. I said I was sorry.
Do you think saying sorry is enough to solve all of your problems? Do you have any idea what would have happened to me if I were an ordinary woman?!
I looked around.
The citys territory was so huge that it wouldnt be enough to call it even arge urban agglomeration. Angels gathered around me, Ssosia, and Captain Fantasy, who fell in the center.
But there was no feeling that we were surrounded.
Woah! Look at this kid!
Oh my God! The City Hall is now under him
Step aside! Ill take it away now!
Wait It wont budge How is this possible?
Captain Fantasy hasnded right in the center of El Mondo, destroying many buildings.
The angels were busy looking for the injured and dead from this emergencynding. But there was no sense in the rescue work.
Wow
They could never move Captain Fantasy, who was bigger than all these buildings. However, that wasnt the worst of their problems.
The city is sinking lower and lower?!
That child is too heavy!
Help! Help! If this continues, well fall to the ground!
Move! We cant leave the city!
Those who had at least some strength went down under the city. Spreading their wings, they tried to push the city up from below.
The city of El Mndo had stopped falling, but since the angels were busy trying to save the city, they couldnt pay attention to us.
Ssosia continued to swear.
Are you even listening to me?
Yes, Im listening.
Then what did I just say?
Uhh Freak.
Youre not listening to me at all! Freak? In that case I wont just stand around doing nothing!
She still couldnt calm down. Hearing her words, I smiled.
I wasnt the type of hero that would be afraid of the threats of a naked demoness who tightly squeezed her legs together as if trying to hold something in desperately.
What can you do?
I would let her try.
I would win anyway.
She criticized me profusely, but it was easy to understand from Ssosias body how exhausted she was.
With one hand, I grabbed her by the waist between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, pulling her to me.
I then fixed my other hand between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebra.
Wait! Are you
Mmm
I covered the mouth of the noisy Sosia.
She grew quiet now.
As befitted a righteous hero, I covered her lips with my own. But her actions were impossible to ignore.
Her mean breasts rubbed against my broad chest, provoking my body and mind.
I thought that Ssosias strength had already left her, but she suddenly began to hit me on the back with both hands. Apparently, she wanted to say something.
But that didnt concern me.
Ugh?!
Where did she get so much strength?
The reddened Ssosia sagged and parted her legs, which she had stubbornly squeezed before.
And she released the passionate desire that she had been holding back for so long.
***
Ssosia, your counterattack exceeded all my expectations.
But give up your vengeful venture. Otherwise, you will spend not only three months in Captain Fantasys mouth, but maybe not three months, three years What?
Bent over, Ssosia muttered something under her breath, but I couldnt hear her properly.
She repeated it, louder this time.
I wont forgive you.
Ha! You still havent given up?
How persistent. Plus, she didnt die from my kiss. Even if I wrung her neck or broke her back, there wasnt even a scratch on her.
However, I was in a giving mood. After all, I promised that I woulde the next day, but I didnt show up. Since I broke my promise, I was going to be generous even to a pitiful demon today!
I will never be able to wash this insult off.
Never? I gave you a towel to dry off.
I am the Second Demon. From birth alone, it was already a foregone conclusion that I cannot be the First Demon. I can never be the first anywhere. On the other hand, I am the Second Demon and will never lose my second ce.
So what?
I didnt know what Ssosia was trying to say. But my instincts, which received the energy of the universe, didnt warn me of any danger.
What did she want to say?
I have absolutely no interest in someone like you, but in all my long life, I have not only not married but have never met anyone. All because of this curse. I am doomed to be second. No man can love me more than theyd love another woman.
Are you looking for sympathy on my part?
Perhaps you should first stop underestimating me. I hate to talk about age, but I cant find a hint of manners in your harsh speech even though youre talking with the Second Demon of this universe
Lets get straight to the point.
There was too much chatter!
I cannot forgive you for how you insulted me.
So?
I found listening to Ssosia a little funny.
The Demon Lords daughter, the Second Demon Her titles sounded great, but they didnt reflect in any way in her fighting skills.
Having lost, both a king and an emperor could be a ve.
I, Ssosia, will be the second woman and the second wife of Hero Kang Han Soo. First Demon Pedonar and First Spirit Fronesis will confirm and certify this pact. Forever.
What?
For a moment, my thought processes stopped.
What was this cowardly demoness talking about?
Do you not understand? I will exin it to the Gifted again. Henceforth, you will not be able to touch me with your finger, for I am now your second beloved woman! Of course, you can do as you like with the first woman in your life, but you wont have anyone else. Now, do you understand the seriousness of this situation?
Not really. Im not sure what you mean
Then try to hit me.
She wanted it herself, so I hit her.
And what has changed?
Huh?
Shaking her head in different directions, the confused Ssosia rubbed her cheek. She then looked at the First Spirit sitting on my head.
Impatient niece, dont look at me with such doubt. My younger brother and I witnessed everything.
Then why
Because of a moments insanity, you sumbed to emotions and made such a stupid decision. Did you think you could have a normal rtionship with this guy? This Drug Hero will hit even his most beloved woman on the cheek without hesitation.
I could hear everything, this goddamn spirit.
Ah
Now I understand. Even when I see an outstanding beauty, my heart doesnt hesitate, but I cant forget your name. Perhaps this is because of the curse.
Was that it?
Maybe that was why I couldnt forget the name Ssosia. If my assumptions were correct, then the first name that I supposedly couldnt forget was Lanuvel.
I decided to intervene in the conversation.
Hey, Addicted, Spirit. What is the conclusion of all this?
My niece didnt marry because of love. The time to talk about love has passed.
Aunt! Wait!
The Second Demon is always the second. And this also applies to marriage. We can say that these are not horizontal but vertical rtionships. Thats the real reason why my niece still walks as an untouched virgin.
Oh?
I stared at Ssosia.
She trembled. Everything is as my wicked aunt said, but Im your second beloved woman. Youll never be able to order me anything nonsensical. This is absolutely
Dance.
This is strange! Somethings wrong!
It was unusual to see a naked demon dancing in the city of angels.
Every time she moved, her mean chest bounced.
She was about to cry.
The test is over. You can stop.
Ssosia, stopping as per ordered, immediately begged the First Spirit. My Aunt! My favorite aunt! Recognize this marriage as nullified and voided. I was out of my mind for a minute. Ill persuade my father somehow!
Forgive me, my beloved niece, but I am already associated with this vile Hero. My dose is more important to me than your happiness.
Oh no
Honestly, I couldnt understand this.
How could such a clever demon who developed this system make such a mistake?
The First Spirit, reading my thoughts, exined.
This is all because of the First Hero. It is said that he loved all his wives equally. Therefore, no matter what the wives did, the condescending Hero forgave everything. Although in the end, he became disillusioned with all the wives and ran away.
In other words, she thought I was the same?
I suppose so. Ask her if youre in doubt.
Hey, did you hear my question? Speak.
Hearing my demand, Ssosia opened her mouth, which she had previously kept shut.
N-no After considering various options for the development of events, I concluded that youd be a ve to your love for me in the end through this. After getting rid of your first love and dering her missing, only I will remain by your side.
Whew
I whistled.
As my spoiled aunt said, I took into ount the situation with the First Hero, but my sad ending still remained somewhat simr Please forgive me! Just dont force me to do anything strange!
Okay.
Are you telling me the truth?
If you dont believe me, would you like to dance instead?
N-no.
Ssosia looked at me doubtfully.
I pretended to leave those thoughts behind, but her Second Curse took over my mind.
I realized this because of the situation around me.
The roosters nced sideways at the naked body of Ssosia. It didnt bother me in any way before, but after her curse was applied to me, it began to hurt me.
Regardless, Ssosia shouldnt be aware of it.
The easiest way for me to deal with this was to tell her to get dressed now, but it might look like I was worried about her.
But then what should I do?
There was only one way left.
Instead of taking care of her, I should just remove the audience.
At zoos, when it was closing time, they kicked out visitors instead of the animals. So there was nothing strange about what I was going to do.
As Emperor of the Holy Mon Empire, I warn all the chickens: from this day forth, this city will be annexed by the Holy Mon Empire! If anyone disagrees, raise your head, and I shall immediately chop them off! Otherwise, sit quietly.
Woah.
Captain Fantasy shook his booty. Every time he did, the angels supporting El Mndo from below screamed as they tried to keep it from falling to the ground.
? Curiosity: Cadet Kang Han Soo, Im curious. Whos the first woman?
Chapter 215 - [12th Round] Unification
Chapter 215 - [12th Round] Unification
Trainee Teacher, I dont know myself!
For me, in general, the idea of ranking people was an unfamiliar concept. If it werent for the Second Demon Ssosia, I wouldnt even think about the order in which I loved someone.
It was pretty confusing.
The first girl I married was the Sword Princess in round 8, making her, obviously, the first wife. However, her being my first love was a different story.
A lot of women came to my mind besides the Sword Princess. Objectively, she might not even be the first woman.
Then who was it?
The women, whose names I remembered, were tooplicated.
Mom, Daughter of Moms Friend A, Daughter of Moms Friend B, Lanuvel, Sylvia, Factoria, Aqua, Ssosia, etc.
There were even more of them than that.
? Confusion: That question is puzzling, but I understand. I was treated well by many of the seniors, making it hard to choose one that I like more than the rest.
Is it because Trainee Teacher dreams of bing the greatest teacher? You pay more attention to education, not love.
? Modesty: While I know thats ttery, it pleases me.
As I spoke with Trainee Teacher, the situation developed.
The hens, whom I ordered to surrender, didnt agree to my demands so easily. Instead, the angel that reced their leader flew up to me after their previous one died because of Captain Fantasys bottom.
The chicken was wrapped in a white translucent cloth that resembled bandages.
At the Festival of Heroes, I saw an angel in a simr outfit. I didnt know much about them despite my 61 years of experience, but I knew for sure that such a defiant outfit was only allowed to be worn by high-ranking angels.
Why?
There were many high-quality bandages in the treasury of angels.
They healed with and through Divinity, so they didnt need real bandages. Instead, they used them as clothing.
Back off, Earthen King, She red at me insolently.
I didnt like the way she spoke.
Know your ce, you ill-mannered angel.
Captain Fantasy fidgeted, and the angels screamed. In addition, their city immediately tilted like a sinking boat.
The chicken grew paler as she hastened to answer.
Stop! Many innocent lives are in this city! The heroes on the ground below will never forgive you for such violence! Arent you afraid of their judgment, their wrath? Youll lose everything just because of one mistake
I am a Hero.
What?
You should show at least a little interest in whats going on downstairs, chicken.
She talked about heroes, but she didnt even know who they were.
Regardless, I understood her reason.
? Race: Archangel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Exorcist (Demons Damage )
? Skills: Divinity ZZ, Whip Mastery Z, Purification Z, Endurance Z, Blessing MAX
? Status: Frightened, Confused
The skills were outstanding.
From my perspective, these wereughable skills, but in secondary education, her stats were the best thing I had seen. Herbat power wasparable to that of the Guardians who hid on different continents.
Then why are you invading us?
Whats so surprising about that? There is now prohibiting heroes from attacking angels.
Th-thats sphemy!
That is for me to decide.
They took credit for Master Mons achievements so shamelessly. If not for his generosity, then the angels themselves wouldve been subjected to Gods judgment.
Ill say it again. Bow down or die.
Dont underestimate us.
Dont underestimate me. Those who still have their heads held up will now meet their tragic end right here.
Captain Fantasy followed my order.
The cute baby got up on his plump legs, trying to keep his bnce, and began waving his arms in different directions. That wasnt some new technique. It was just that his huge body, which was more than enough to fight Noebius himself on equal grounds, was already powerful and dangerous in itself.
BOOM! BOOM! POW!
The angels at the naked body of Ssosia from the skies turned to smithereens.
They werent even blown away by the impact.
This wasnt a billiards game, so they didnt react like in mangas or anime.
The angels bodies were unable to cope with the overwhelming mass and speed of Captain Fantasy. After all, he also possessed the new technique of the Demon Lord, Dark Matter.
They were simply torn apart by the pressure that mmed on their flesh.
The obscene angel wrapped in bandages was no exception.
Divinitys normal attack deflection effect didnt work because Captain Fantasy was far from ordinary.
Not even a body was left of the enemies leader.
A-aaaaaahh!
Frightened by the small child, the angels immediately bowed down. There was no longer any brave man that dared stare at Ssosia.
Their crime was the thievery of other peoples merits!
Just for the fact that they wanted to im the achievements of Master Mon, whom the Holy Mon Empire served, was enough for their feathers to be plucked out and for them to be enved.
But I was a merciful hero.
I just decided to pluck some feathers from them instead.
Drug Hero, where are you going to use them?
In pillows and nkets. I dont know if their feathers are softer and warmer than the ducks down there, but vain aristocrats and royal families will definitely buy them regardless of price. This is a very special item that can only be purchased in the Holy Mon Empire!
I see! Haha! The First Spiritughed awkwardly.
Addicted Spirit, why are you so happy?
Im just d that my wings wont be ruined as well.
The city of angels, El Mndo, was peacefully annexed by the Holy Mon Empire. When the Holy Empire learned of this, an uprising immediately urred.
The sick emperor and his heir, the First Prince, were publicly executed in front of an angry mob. And the imperial princess, who led this uprising, ced the Holy Empire in my hands.
After that, it immediately began to rain.
And that wasnt even caused by the universe.
At the right time, when I visited Lake Mon, I killed the Guard Ullullu, who was sleeping at the bottom of theke.
I attacked him without even giving him a chance to wake up!
During the 2nd Round, it rained for ten days because of that catfish-headed giant, which gave me problems.
But this time, it was different.
Rain! Rain ising!
The Emperor of the Holy Mon Empire is a real God!
Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Hooray!
I announced that it would rain for ten days. Indeed, the rain stopped on the tenth day.
After that, my Reputation and Glory reached MAX rank.
Even if there were people who resented the fact that I forcibly annexed small principalities, now they huddled in a corner in silence. They realized that they couldnt resist the will of God, who could control nature itself.
There were more reasons.
All paths led to Mon.
All the towns and viges of the Holy Mon Empire, which united the entire Central Continent of Fantasy, were connected by roads to Monpolis.
Thus, the trade turnover elerated, due to which the economies of the losing states began to grow again.
That wasnt all either.
Im a gigolo, living off a rich bride. This is the dream of all men.
I may be the happiest demon in the universe. Im ready to go crazy with happiness.
Ssosia smiled at me, revealing her soul and her wallet.
She was the head of the Dark Commerce. And I was her husband.
Everything that belonged to her was mine, and everything that belonged to me was hers.
But because of the boundless love of her beautiful husband, Ssosia was so moved that she abandoned everything, making her assets my property.
Finally, my kindness had been rewarded!
Trainee Teacher, Ive been thinking.
? Interest: About what?
Friendship and hope are still useless, but love, if used correctly, can be useful on a heros journey!
? Difficulty: It seems to me that the love that youre talking about and the love that is expected from the heroes in the educational course are slightly different But this can also be considered the power of love.
Trainee Teacher, youre not only both beautiful and quirky. Youll also make an excellent educator.
? Blush: O-of course. Hmm-hmm!
By uniting the Central Continent, which was the economic center of the Fantasy World, I had announced a major national project for this year.
Trade routes? That was a simple task.
There was something more important than that. If I hadnt taken possession of Dark Commerce, I wouldnt have been able to solve this pressing problem.
Its time to equip everyone with flush toilets to make this world a better ce!
Finally, after 63 years, I was able to fulfill my little dream.
***
The eighth hero was called up for secondary education in Grade F on my 64th-year of being a hero.
The new hero was a young girl. She was different from the seventh Foolish Hero, who announced that he would start a coup dtat (challenge me). Although she looked young, she was actually at least 300 years old.
? Type: Personal file
? Name: Lulu
? Alignment: Lawful Good
? Main Quality: Coquetry
? Experience: 308 years
? Record: 2
? Overall Rating: Lulu is an honorary student who uses love and friendship to her advantage. However, she failed due to her excessive utilization of the aforementioned concepts. Shes so used to solving problems by relying on lovers andpanions that her skills are low. There are different opinions on her ount among teachers. Regardless, it would be better if she can learn independence from the strange student.
Who was that strange independent student they kept mentioning? How pathetic. Well, love was the trend right now.
In any case, I needed to deal with the hero in front of me first.
Wee to the Holy Mon Empire.
Wow! You are truly incredible. You started as a hero but then became emperor in a short period. I really respect you, Han Soo.
How dare she, a 300-year-old granny, address me, a single- no, a married man who wasnt even 80 years old, so familiarly?
Regardless, I didnt show that it touched me in any way. I had the secret ability to view the personal files of other students, after all.
Everyones capable of respecting me.
A true hero could easily control these savages.
And I heard that you invented a flush toilet. Thats just amazing! This is a bit embarrassing, but going to the toilet was really hard for me until I got used to the bushes.
After I finally annexed the Holy Empire, thest free country on the Central Continent, I was able to start the flush toilets mass production with the help of Ssosia, who knew the structure and construction procedure of it.
I didnt invent anything.
The cowardly demoness hid this greatest invention in her room and used it all for herself. She even had a bidet too!
For such a crime, I forbade Ssosia to use the flush toilet.
Therefore, she secretly began to use the slime toilet. I pretended not to see or hear her groans and suffering.
Eighth Hero, Have you said everything youve got to say?
Huh? Oh, uh, yes
I am also a hero. Therefore, I can say that I understand the feelings of our kind better than others. I will give you enough funds for equipment and a journey. All youll have to think about is oveing one of the Five Great Disasters on the Southern Continent.
Wow! Thank you so much! Who will go with me?
Do you need an escort?
I-I n-need just a few
I remembered the overall rating of the eighth Hero, Lulu. Perhaps thats what the file meant when it stated that she relied too much on love and friendship.
Companions?
I didnt know if anyone would want to go with such a burden. But all the same, she would need someone with whom she could talk to on the way to the Southern Continent. Maybe a porter as well.
I showed her my heroic and righteous smile.
Tell me who you want to go with. If thepanion is from the Central Continent, then I will try to help.
Wow! Then can I get Prince Nasus?
He is the busy governor of the western province, which used to be the Elf Kingdom.
Then Alex and Lanuvel!
Those two died on the Western Continent.
T-then the Saintess and Commander Thomas of the Holy Knights.
Saintess A has be the busy governor of the eastern province, formerly known as the Holy Kingdom and the Trade Republic, and Tomato died three years ago after falling off a cliff.
Um and the mermaid princess Aqua?
I raised her as a pet in an aquarium in my office, but she is unlikely to agree to go with you since you are a girl.
Then whos left? Lulu sounded bewildered.
I thought about it for less than a second before answering.
How about Sylvia, the elven princess? She is now pregnant, so it is difficult to go with her now, but I think it will be possible for her to join you next year after giving birth.
Dont be so disappointed. If you want a big sleeping bag, I can introduce you to amazing men. 31 people. What do you think? Not a bad variety for the trip.
N-dont
Wow! So she refused government assistance?
It seemed that the overall assessment in her personal file was rather biased. Just looking at her, I already knew she didnt rely so much on others.
Chapter 216 - [12th Round] Rebound Controller
Chapter 216 - [12th Round] Rebound Controller
I thought Lulu would go to the Southern Continent alone, but she managed to persuade Hero Lemon, my self-proimed rival, to go together.
I wanted to send Lemon on an expedition to the Northern Continent, but his two-year mercenary contract hade to an end, so I let him go. Either way, for me, there was nothing wrong with those two killing one of the Five Great Disasters, Phoenix of the Southern Continent.
The other four heroes went to the Western Continent, except for Almond, for the same objective. An angel had joined them this time, so the chances of sess were high.
As for me
Thats huge.
I went to the U-shaped mountain range that surrounded the capital of the former Holy Empire. In the primary education course, I never got to see this view.
After all, it wasnt just a simple mountain range.
That was the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, slumbering while disguised as a mountain.
But he didnt just sleep. Time for the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, whose life wasing to an end, had simply stopped. Therefore, until one removed his seal, no attacks would do him any harm.
I called Green Cake topare their sizes, but he looked too small inparison.
It was likeparing Everest to an ordinary hill!
Today, I came to deal with my friend.
Drug Hero, how are you going to defeat him?
As quickly as possible.
Didnt you say he was your friend?
Hell burn down the empire and the world otherwise.
This problem couldnt be solved with simple conversations.
Despotic to his core and bones, the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, would immediately rush into battle as soon as he opened his eyes.
And his rampage wouldnt stop until his death.
It would be nice if his seal could be saved, but there was a time limit. If I were toote, then all of Fantasy would be destroyed by a fog so corrosive that it would melt everything it touched!
Hence, I had to solve everything here and now.
Your Majesty, all preparations for breaking the seal have beenpleted, said Old Mage A, the archmage of the former Holy Empire.
Only a few people knew that what actually surrounded the capital of the former Holy Empire wasnt a mountain range but one of the Five Great Disasters.
The wizard had an artifact in his hands. They looked like beads, but it was the key to removing the seal.
They were kept and strictly guarded in the treasury of the Imperial Pce of the Holy Empire.
Warming up, I gave an order.
As soon as I give the signal, remove the seal.
Your Majesty! As Ive stated before, maybe its better to wait until the situation in the country has stabilized and attack when all the heroes have gathered? No matter how I think about it, hed be difficult to destroy even for you!
Its up to me to decide what is difficult and what isnt.
I apologize!
I gathered all of my strength.
I turned the level and experience points I had into power. Due to therge amount, it took about 5 seconds.
The n was simple.
As soon as the seal was broken, immediatelyunch a preemptive strike!
The spirits of Fantasy had already told me about the structure of the body of the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion Noebius, covered with earth.
Remove the seal.
Have mercy upon us, O God!
The impudent Wizard A, begging for mercy, not from Master Mon, removed the seal. The brightly shimmering beads turned into ordinary ss.
And my dear friend woke up.
The earth and sky trembled. All the animals and monsters that lived on the mountain scattered in fright.
Right now!
Bang!
Concentrating all my strength, I created a bright green beam that pierced through the huge rising mountain.
And it became quiet.
The Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, didnt even have time to shake off the ground before he had already lost his heart and left for eternal rest.
I didnt even give him time to take his other forms!
I was able to verify that my dearrade was dead when my level went back up from 1 to 999.
When the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, fell, the outline of the mountain he was disguised as began to disappear. The height of the mountain gradually began to decline, and in the end, only a small hill remained.
There was the risk that the Supreme Dragon of Oblivions dissolved body could flood the city with a deadly poison, but Boris quietly sorted it out with the help of Purification.
Without his transformations, my friend is weak!
But he was still the leader of the Five Great Disasters. How weak were the others? I didnt even know what word to use to describe the heroes that couldnt defeat them.
Drug Hero, I think attacking the old man suddenly as he was just about to wake up is a little cowardly.
Hey, Addicted Spirit, you havent been punished in a long time, have you? Im not a hypocrite. Unlike him, whos ready to make sacrifices for the sake of his duty, I am not willing to sacrifice anything.
With this, my duty as a hero was fulfilled.
Ten heroes were summoned to each ss. Therefore, ideally, they should gather in groups of 2 to eliminate each of the Five Great Disasters as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Yet, I single-handedly dealt with the most powerful of those monsters. Therefore, I had fulfilled my duties as a hero.
What was left?
Saintess H, remember the list of assassins I filled out? Gather an army of these people and send them south to the Phantom King. Those whod try to escape should be dered traitors and sentenced to death. If you send an angel, a demon hunter, with them, they probably wont criticize me.
Yes, Master, Saintess H replied politely.
I left the northern part of the Central Continent to the imperial princess.
She didnt be the empress, as she dreamed, but nevertheless, I appointed her governor of the province, so there should be noints.
But there were.
She wanted to be both governor and empress at the same time. Then I told her to resign from the post of governor, to which she easily agreed, which made me confused.
She wanted to be an empress and give birth to an heir who would take the empire, making her so easily ready to give up her position.
But I wouldnt marry her in any way.
Drug Hero, are you going there?
Yes. Finally.
Its time to head to the Northern Continent of Fantasy.
There were two years left before the initial call of the Hero.
The Holy Mon Empire, under the patronage of Master Mon, first offered the Demon Lord and the rulers of the Northern Continent to surrender and then dered war!
***
A sea and a canal separated the Northern and Central Continents. It was somewhat simr to North and South America on Earth.
Sea route andnd route.
There were two options, but it was better to refuse ovend movement since the path through the canal was rather narrow.
The Northern Continent was teeming with highly skilled Wizards. If we went for the cramped path, then any entire army would be destroyed by spells of mass destruction.
There was only one way for us to go.
They probably think well use the waterway.
They expect us to take advantage of the vast expanse of water to reduce the number of casualties from magical attacks.
But I knew perfectly well that neither by sea nor bynd was the most efficient mode of transportation.
By manipting the weather, mages could cause typhoons and tsunamis, causing the empires ships to sink before reaching the shores of the Northern Continent.
Then what are you nning to do, Drug Hero?
Ill start a civil war.
My poprity in the Central Continent of Fantasy had reached sky-high heights. There was no need to make women widows and children orphans and receive criticism for that.
I had dered war, but I wasnt going to fight.
I just needed to collect a lot of ships in the port and train soldiers, just to pretend that there was a war.
What about the rest?
The Dark Commerce will sort it out.
The Scarlet Golem would soon go into mass production.
Many countries preparing for the attack of the Holy Mon Empire would buy these golems en masse,peting with neighboring countries and overpaying, as a result of which their treasury would quickly empty.
And the only way to replenish the state treasury in an instant was to either fight or plunder.
I knew this from my own experience.
The Dark Commerce intervened in the politics of the Northern Continent, creating conflicts and selling the Scarlet Golems. They demonstrated their effectiveness by participating in golem battles in the arena in the Sage Tower.
And the result became visible in the sixth year of the initial call of the Hero.
The Northern Continent was engulfed in war.
But this time, a strong country had united the entirety of the Central Continent, providing the countries of the Northern Continent a reason to buy the products, significantly elerating this process.
And this had nothing to do with the owner of the Dark Commerce Ssosia.
After all, she was only their leader in words. She herself did nothing.
What did you say about me? Ssosia got angry after hearing my n.
So its true. You are just their leader on paper. Yourpetent subjects are the ones engaging in all activities while you keep messing around.
Do not ignore my contribution! It is precisely because I am their head that an organization asrge as the Dark Commerce continues to exist without any internal disagreements.
Ssosia was the Second Demon. She was always second.
But in this case, that curse even yed into her hands.
The founder of the Dark Commerce was the first, and he died at a young age from overwork. But thanks to his management over his workers that treated him as their mental mentor, he remained number one even after death.
From that moment, the fun began.
Usually, students fought among themselves over who would inherit the will of the teacher.
But because of the curse of being second, Ssosia became his heir. Thanks to that, she could manage the Dark Commerce with absolutely no fear of dismissal.
Are you saying that it is enough for you to keep your shares intact without dying for thepany to prosper?
Something like that. I wasnt evenzy, to begin with.
Ssosia told me that there were times when she used the power of the Dark Commerce to supply the heroes with food. But due to the endless repetition of it, the same actions bored her.
Soon enough, she grew tired of having fun as well, forcing her to sleep nonstop
So you admit that you arezy?
Hmph!
Who do you think youre giving an attitude to? Dance.
Huh?!
In the northern part of the Central Continent, naval ships were built at the shipyard, and the soldiers busied themselves with training. Meanwhile, in the south, a real war broke out.
Many lives were lost.
Exorcist Boris, the natural predator of all demons, Saintess H with an immortal army, Holy Mon Empires Guardian Golem D.
I could send any of those three, and theyd be able to end the war immediately.
But I didnt do it. There was no better excuse than the Demon Lord to get rid of all my disgruntled opposition.
If you continue to do this, I will spread the rumor that the Demon Lord is your father-inw, the flushed Ssosia threatened me to stop herself from dancing.
Go on and try. I will prove that all these rumors are lies. There are many ways one can deny this. Maybe for a start, in front of everyone, we will inflict trauma on the Demon Lords daughter, from which she will never be able to recover.
Haha Just kidding, just kidding. After all, Im your wife, Herplexion had grown paler.
I didnt know what was funny, but the First Spiritughed, clutching her stomach while sitting on my head.
Hee-hee! Oh, my belly! Hee hee!
Hey, Addicted Spirit, stopughing like youre insane.
Ill do what I want! Drug Hero, where do you n to go now that youve said youre not going to storm through the Northern Continent?
Good question.
I just killed the giant Ullullu just to solve the drought problem, which reminded me of something.
The secret ce where the Holy Sword B was hidden. I didnt even know its exact location since there were no memorable signs on the sandy beach.
If I knew that I woulde again, I would have been more attentivest time, but in the 2nd round, I couldnt even think that I would reach the 12th round.
But everything was fine.
If everything was the same as in the primary education course, it should be on the beach
Ullullu
Awooooooo
Awooooooooooooooo
As in the 2nd round, faint howls were heard, mixed with the sound of the waves.
Just likest time, the Titan of Chaos became my experience points. And the Mermaid of Chaos sang in response to my power.
I jumped into the water without any hesitation.
And again, I met the mermaid who protected the Holy Sword B.
? Race: Arch-Mermaid

Her skills were higher than before. But stillughable.
Hero of the present, I ask you to leave.
What will you do if I refuse to leave?
I kept my answers the same as the ones I used in the second round.
Unfortunately, you have no choice since you wont even remember anything. The hero wakes up on the ocean shore and embarks on another wonderful adventure. Lla ~ ?
Hmm You sing well. Youre better than the one I nurture at home.
Thank you Kh?!
I grabbed her by the fin, turning her upside down, and she immediately began thrashing about.
Take it easy. Otherwise, I will tear off your fin and shove it into your mouth.
-
She immediately did as instructed.
At that moment, Ssosia, who arrived a littleter than me, folded her arms over her chest and coldly asked.
Why did youe here? Need a mermaid concubine again?
Jealousy is ugly, Eternal Second Ranker.
Im not jealous!
I shook the sea mermaid in front of the angered Ssosia like a fisherman and replied, Whoever controls the sea mermaid controls naval warfare.
Business is done not with noise, but with the mind.
Chapter 217 - [12th Round] The Little Mermaid
Chapter 217 - [12th Round] The Little Mermaid
But I wasnt here to meet this mermaid. As the name of her job suggested, she had to actually guard something to be a guardian.
My goal was further into her territory.
The entrance, covered in seaweed and blocked by coral, opened like an automatic door as she approached.
One could, of course, simply break down this door and enter. But then the anti-theft system would work, which would ruin everything.
Safety should always be ones top priority.
I was able to reach my destination without any problems.
Phew I already thought about it before, but I want to put this mermaid in formalin and keep it with me.
A deceased mermaid was hugging Holy Sword B, the real reason I was here.
? Race: Mermaid of Chaos
? Level: 1
? Job: Sea Queen (Sea Patronage )
? Skills: Patronage Z, Destruction SS
? Status: Petrified, Protected, Dead, Storage
If Ullullu was the King of Freshwater, then the mermaid hugging the Holy Sword B was the Queen of the Sea.
They were full of ambition, like my dearrade Noebius, which was why they became kings. Moreover, Ullullu and this mermaid received their jobs due to the geographical features of their environment.
? Surprise: That is truly a Holy Sword! Its the same one you inserted into the secret socket of the golem. There seems to be nothing that you dont know, cadet Kang Han Soo.
Trainee Teacher, did you not know about this?
? Confirmation: I didnt see it in my school years. Even in the collection of materials that I can view as a trainer, I saw only one Holy Sword with automatic functions, although I have heard from friends and seniors that there are different types of Holy Swords. That aside, I dont understand why the sword intended for training was hidden and sealed here.
Trainee Teacher, dont worry about that. Otherwise, wrinkles will appear on your forehead.
Someone could exin everything to us anyway.
The Holy Sword Lavade (Love Aid)s name, in ancientnguages, means a sword that makes a loved one stronger. It is made of a special alloy, with the help of which its power increases in proportion to the owners love. However, it has been divided into parts. In its current state, it cant even disy 1% of its true strength anymore. You probably already know since youve already used it, but it has a strengthening effect. It was split between dimensions since they didnt want to destroy it, but at the same time, it shouldnt fall into unwanted hands.
Thats how
I understood what Ssosia was trying to exin.
It was as if it wasnt really needed, but it was a pity to throw it away.
But I dont know who this mermaid is. She is beautiful, as befits her race, but she feels somehow special. Even her appearance Regardless, I cant identify her. How about asking the mermaid youre holding?
Really? Hey, fish, talk.
Kh? A-a-ah! I wont say anything!
The mermaid closed her lips tightly, so I tore her fin a little. She immediately screamed, and tears flowed from her eyes.
Even though she was in incredible pain, she still didnt say anything.
How troublesome.
She kept whimpering, but it didnt matter.
This MAX-ss Hero didnt like torture. I preferred getting information straight from the brain.
This time, I chose an even simpler option.
Saintess H.
Resurrect, my servant.
Saintess H, whose Divinity reached the level of God, was different from ordinary saints.
If the victim had only 1 level, then they were treated with traditional medicine or medicines. They couldnt even dream of resurrection if the worst happened since the patient didnt have enough experience points for it.
But she was different.
She resurrected using her experience points.
But the resurrected one would be underplete submission to Saintess H until they could return all experience points they owed to her.
Oh? Slowly opening her eyes, the mermaids refreshing voice echoed, reminding me of sea waves.
? Race: Royal Mermaid

Previously, Boss K died at the Festival of Heroes, and when he was revived, the Chaos Elf race disappeared, and he became a High Elf instead. The same was true for this mermaid.
In addition, once she was resurrected, due to her incredible beauty, her Charm had reached MAX.
Even her puzzled face was charming.
But the face of the guardian, on the contrary, looked grim.
Tell me, what is your name? asked Saintess H in a calm tone, but it was just an order disguised as a question.
The sea mermaid, who couldnt remain silent, replied immediately.
I am the neenth Mermaid Queen Porseranians and the keeper of the sword Lavade, which was left to me by myrade from Earth.
Nice to meet you, Pomeranian.
Amazing. This mermaid had the same name as the dog breed that my neighbors raised.
My name is Porce
Silence. Do not interrupt the Hero when he speaks.
I-I apologize Pomeranian apologized, cringing.
This mermaid was more polite than the one who tried to erase my memory.
Congrattions on your resurrection, Mermaid Queen Pomeranian. I dont know if you still have the right to control mermaids, but even if you dont, I will be raising you in a special saltwater bath that will be built by next year, so you have nothing to worry about.
Ah, okay Thank you? I probably should be grateful to the Hero who will raise me. Its just that I just revived, and I dont know how to behave in this world yet
I see.
Thats how it should be. My race sumbed to sexual attraction and eventually sank to the point of being human pets Since this is our destiny, I just have to ept it
This sea fish was smart.
No wonder she was the Queen of the Mermaids.
Can you still control your kind?
Its possible.
That should never be allowed, o great mother!
As soon as the Mermaid Queen Pomeranian confirmed my belief, the guardian mermaid immediately intervened.
Traitors should be quiet.
Ah
As soon as she gave the order, the guardian mermaid immediately fell silent. Her body shook at first as she tried to resist, but she soon found herself frozen.
Pomeranian replied with sorrow in her voice.
My race, like squid going to spawn, strive to get to men, driven by sexual attraction. Whenever sailors caught my rtives, some of them would be butchered and eaten, while others were tied to the bows of ships, turning them into tourist attractions. That caused a storm of hatred in me, which in turn made me order all mermaids to refrain from following their desires from then on. However, I was betrayed and killed. Now that I have resurrected, I shall be the Heros ve. Give me any order. All the mermaids of this world are yours.
It seemed that the mermaids killed their queen because of their excessive sex drive.
And the queen became disillusioned with her people.
Will they follow your order?
Yes. Any mermaid in the water will follow me. After all, all the seas of the world are connected. Through the waves, they will hear my song and obey.
What about the mermaids in freshwaters?
If I go to the freshwaters and sing there, they will have no choice but to follow me. Im of royal blood. I care not if Im in freshwater or seawater.
I see
I was worried that it would be difficult to get seawater, but it looked like raising her in the imperial pce wouldnt be a problem.
I let go of the mermaid that I had been holding in my hands all this time.
After all, since I had the Mermaid Queen, who had such a fraudulent ability, I could calmly control the rest of the mermaids.
Yet, what was more surprising than that was that her ability wasnt disyed in her racial traits.
? Type: Race
? Name: Royal Mermaid
? Rank: Legendary
? Ability 1: Never disappear when in water.
? Ability 2: Gifted with incredible beauty.
? Feature 1: Increased charm effect.
? Feature 2: Increased seduction effect.
? Feature 3: Ability to transform the lower body.
? Race 1: Perfect singing skills.
? Race 2: Beauty is inherited.
The Royal Mermaid race was much better than the regr Mermaid. Never disappear when in water? That was why her corpse had stayed intact here all this time.
She had the protection of the waters on her side.
To think she was far from being patronized by the universe!
I learned the mermaid submission song from the eighteenth Mermaid Queen. Even if an ordinary mermaid learns it, she still wont be able to use it. She will simply die for touching the forbidden. Only mermaids from the royal family can use it since we have the protection of the waters. Once I die, the song will be lost forever.
What an interesting exnation.
Can humans learn it?
Im afraid thats impossible, Hero. After all, humans and mermaids have different vocal cord structures.
So its all about vocal cords?
Huh? Yes, probably
A song that could subdue all mermaids
Wasnt it tempting?
? Query: Disciple Kang Han Soo, do you want to take possession of all the mermaids?
Trainee Teacher, your suspicion saddens me!
My mother wouldnt forgive me. Shed beat me until shed destroyed her tennis racket.
Ill learn it when we get back to the pce, Mermaid Queen.
As you desire, Sir Hero.
Command all the sea mermaids to gather on the seaside in the northern part of the Central Continent.
Everyone? Can I find out the reason?
Carefully stroking the queen between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, I replied.
War.
Sea mermaids would serve as fine marines.
***
The Mermaid Queen got scared because I decided to collect them not for the harem, as she expected, but for war, but she was under the rule of Saintess H, removing her right to refuse.
Hearing the Queens song, the sea mermaids gathered in the port.
In the waters, beautiful mermaids with naked upper bodies gathered, weapons made of huge fish bones or monster ribs in their hands.
If I took into ount that more mermaids werepletely submerged in the waters, it would be impossible to even count how many of them actually gathered here.
Moreover, their number continued to grow.
I didnt know there were so many mermaids living in the sea.
I watched this picture from a ship that was five times the size of the rest of the fleet.
I wasnt the only one surprised by it.
Woah!
Hehe Oh?!
The idiots on the ship stared at the mermaids as they drooled. Some of them even fell overboard.
Mermaids swam up to the knights and soldiers who fell into the water from all sides and pulled off all their clothes. An hour after, theyd be found exhausted on the shore not far from the port.
That wasnt surprising at all.
After all, the fighting skills of mermaids, who specialized only in seducing men, were negligible, while the monsters living in the sea were incredibly strongpared to those living onnd.
Therefore, like anchovies and other small fishes, mermaids had no choice but to reproduce as many offspring as possible.
I clicked my tongue.
If they were born human, they could be mistresses of wealthy merchants or aristocrats and live happily ever after. Otherwise, theyll have a hard time surviving.
Hmph! They have such beauty only because they were born mermaids. I dont feel even a bit of pity for them. Ssosia reproached me after hearing my monologue.
You are not in a position to say that.
What about me?
Your chest cant be real. Thats one of the antics of your race, isnt it?
Why do you keep insulting me? You touched them all night, and now you say that?!
Those two arepletely different topics.
Its the same, beast!
Listening to Ssosias tantrums with one ear, I pointed north with the cane in my right hand.
There was no need to wait for everyone to get together.
After all, there were already enough mermaids gathered.
Forward!
Order of the Emperor! We are sailing away!
Forward!
Forward!
Doo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
Doo-oo-oo!
Having received my order, the soldiers blew into huge pipes made of huge shells.
And all the ships deported and sailed. The mermaids swam alongside them!
What a great sight.
Babakh!
Thunder and lightning had blessed our way into battle.
The wind was so strong that it could tear our sails, but the ships of the Holy Mon Empire didnt need sails at all.
It was all about the beauties of the sea.
We sailed smoothly with the help of their power, making the storm dangerous only for our enemies.
What a good day for war.
I would show the son, whom the Sword Princess gave birth to, what a real ruler should be.
Real ruler? You mean Demon Lord.
Keep dancing.
Even the cowardly demoness, unrequitedly in love with the Hero, blessed the armada of the Holy Mon Empire with her dances.
But
Enemies!
Their navy is here!
The troops of the Northern Continent attacked first.
Chapter 218 - [12th Round] Northern Continent vs. Central Continent
Chapter 218 - [12th Round] Northern Continent vs. Central Continent
Boo!
Bang!
Boom!
The huge enemy fleet released fireballs and lightning in an arc, oveing the storm and directly hitting our ranks.
Looking closely, I noticed more than two countries in their army.
Many mages lived on the Northern Continent, which meant more mages were on their ships than actual naval weaponry. What made matters worse was that their spells reached a greater distance than gunpowder projectiles.
Meanwhile, our army
Herees another volley!
O-oh no!
Put the mes out!
Aaaaghhh!
Their surprise attack had thrown our people into chaos.
No one imagined the army of the Northern Continent would break through the typhoon and meet us halfway.
Furthermore, the Holy Mon Empire wasnt founded on warfare.
I colonized the entire Central Continent through a peaceful method. As a result, the skill level of the soldiers was low, and the knights andmandersckedbat experience.
But none of it fazed me.
After all, I was a hero with 63 years of experience.
I had been betrayed, agitated, and almost died several times because of the maniptive and deceptive Lanuvel.
I didnt want to do this because its not entirely fair, but
I had to show the stupid savages of the Fantasy World all the greatness of Master Mon.
I reformed my vocal cords into those of mermaids and sang.
Fight~ Fight back~? Justice always prevails~?
I took the theme song of a cartoon familiar to everyone for inspiring hope in children and remade it to a military song.
Both versions had simr visions anyway: defeating viins with the power of justice.
I give my love to Sir Hero~?
For the sake of His Majestys justice~?
My life belongs to you~?
I offer my life to you~?
All the mermaids sang together in response.
With the help of my song, I instilled hope in the mermaids. Cheerfully wagging their fins, they rushed into battle.
Bam!
BZZZZ!
Many of their kind died from the explosions of spells and projectiles, but they didnt scream in pain. Not even fatal injuries could stop their melodies.
My song wasnt done yet, after all.
They couldnt retreat.
Rejoice, people of Mon~? Praise his good name~?
Mon~?
Mon~?
Mon~?
Master Mon gave us courage. How could anyone hope for victory without praising him?
May his patronage and mercy be with those who are foolish to against his will!
The mermaidsunched a massive counterattack.
They pierced the bottoms of ships with spears, and with ropes used to kidnap sailors, they dragged enemies into the water.
The mermaids were a little confused because of the shallow depth of the sea near the coast, but as soon as they sailed away, the advantage passed into their hands.
In case of danger, they would simply submerge into the depths of the water and strike once more from where they werent expected to appear.
H-how can a man sing like us The Mermaid Queen was dumbfounded. She had reced her tail with her legs and was now standing next to me barefoot and in a dress.
For a student of Master Mon, this is as easy as pie. The moment I learned the foundations of this technique, the rest proved easy.
Did you imitate the vocal cords of mermaids?
Not imitated, butpletely adopted it.
That was the fruits of Master Mons teachings.
Due to the fact that all mermaids were female, there were side effects. My Adams apple disappeared, and my voice became thinner. Regardless, the skills effect itself was no different from the Mermaid Queens ability.
All the mermaids obeyed me.
And what of our extinction
Its a secret.
The Drug Hero is legendary.
Be quiet, foolish spirit.
Sitting on my head, the First Spirit immediately began to argue against me.
You misunderstand me, Drug Hero. The one who has be legendary will never disappear unless hes forgotten. In other words, the more rumors there are about you, the better. After all, if they consider you as a legend, then they will remember you. At that point, even if only one person knows of you, stories about you will sooner orter spread.
Is that so?
This old spirit nodded.
The hero I knew was nothing like you Pomeranian uttered carefully.
Dontpare me to amateurs.
After all, at the age of 1, I already became the emperor of the Northern Continent.
I didnt think I was superior to the rest. However, while still in the womb of a nurse and princess of a fallen state, I already had clear awareness and understanding.
Shouldnt heroes be able to at least do that?
? Confusion: Im not sure about that
Why?
? Answer: They say that there was another hero who had a case simr to yours. He pretended to be ordinary until the age of 15, but at the age of 20, he became independent and founded his own country. At 25, he destroyed his homnd and became its emperor.
What about marriage? He probably got married early.
? Exnation: He was 23 when he first married a princess who ran away from home because she didnt want to have a marriage of convenience. The second time he was wedded
You can stop now, Trainee Teacher.
I didnt want to hear anything about the wedding of those who hadnt adapted to societal life.
Each job had its own role and responsibility.
Princes and princesses born with a golden spoon in their mouths had to somehow repay the locals who could barely make ends meet yet were still forced to pay taxes.
And those whoined that they were born into a royal family or a family of aristocrats not because they wanted to should be sent to the guillotine.
People didnt always want to do what they were currently doing.
The same went for me.
I am a hero!
I couldnt just do whatever I wanted since that would damage my Reputation and Fame.
If I were a farmer, I would personally join the battle and make fertilizers out of enemies.
I am also a victim.
I was abducted into this wild world and was forcibly made into a hero that would volunteer every day.
To battle! For the glory of the Holy Mon Empire! Imanded.
It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that the birth of the Holy Mon Empire, which I would one day give to my son, was the golden age of the Central Continent.
In just three years, the GDP increased 200 times, and sewers and flush toilets were installed, improving the hygiene of the continent.
Roads were built, thus reviving trade and lessening the travel time of mercenaries and knights to their destinations, hence allowing them to more efficiently kill monsters and other enemies.
As a result of their lives being stabilized, the people of my empire quietly married and gave birth to children.
Although due to the sudden growth of the poption, the feudal lords and officials howled from the work that fell on their shoulders.
For the empire!
For family!
For His Majesty!
For Mon!
The soldiers of the Holy Mon Empire, once discouraged by the surprise attack from the enemy fleet, now screamed with excitement.
I wouldnt be surprised if they tried to flee out of fear, but our current atmosphere didnt allow that.
Can we say this is a mans dignity?
In my eyes, mermaids were just stinky fish, but the locals and heroes saw them as beautiful women.
In other words
There was no way their pride would allow them to just hide behind the womens backs as they fought bravely.
In the Fantasy World, men were taught never to surrender. Dying inbat to defend his country and family was far more honorable than dying of old age here.
In this world, where terrible monsters could attack at any moment, that was normal.
That was why enved warriors here were much more expensive than beauties.
We seem to be winning, Ssosia smiled, standing next to me.
Iughed.
Victory was already ours from the very beginning. All we had to focus on was reducing the number of victims they could im.
I knew the size limit of the Northern Continents army and formed my army based on that.
Common strategists determined their chances of victory based on the numbers on both sides.
They would bring more soldiers than the opponent and crush them with numbers.
I agreed with that tactic, but only partially so.
Only narrow-minded people would think it waspletely right.
If all men were summoned to war, then agriculture and production would stagnate.
More troops required more food and funds for maintenance. They would also be harder to control andmand.
Larger numbers werent always better, especially in long wars like this one.
It would be difficult to capture the Northern Continent in a short period of time.
The climates of the continents, separated by seas, were very different, which meant we would need to give the soldiers time to adapt. Transporting goods also brought forth more factors to consider.
? Surprise: You know so much, cadet Kang Han Soo.
In the 1st round, I worked hard.
Heroes, disguised as mercenaries, directly participated in the battles. The moment it seemed that the battle was lost, they turned the tides of war to their favor.
They would even argue who got the most kills with bright smiles on their faces.
But not me.
It was funny.
The heroes, which were supposed to strike the Demon Lord, took sides and intervened in the war between the countries.
They even made bets!
They didnt think about the wives and children of the soldiers they killed but only ttered their pride or profited from it. They couldnt even care less about the dire consequences of the murders theymitted.
So I studied.
When the heroes didnt enter the war, I studied the situation to understand the victor and the defeated, how they won or lost, and what the consequences of their actions were.
If their chance of losing were higher than 90%, I would meet with that side and offer them a peaceful surrender, exining everything in detail.
Although mypanions often interfered with me.
They often said that if they entered the battle, then it would be possible to win.
I thought Id go crazy. They would often side with the woman who had given birth to thousands of widows in the country just because she didnt want to get married.
The Imperial Princess was a good example of this.
But I can understand her. In order not to marry such a scoundrel like you, I wouldnt care who bes a widow there. My wife began to point out my ws when she heard myints.
Ssosia
Hmph! Hit me if you want! Do it! Itll just serve as proof that youre a lousy husband.
You keep making a victim out of yourself. I didnt force you to marry me.
Do you still have something to say?
Hmm. I guess youre right. Thinking about selfish girls who refuse marriages of convenience makes no sense. For the sake of their own happiness, they are prepared to make others unhappy. Husbands must teach them to be logical and rational.
Womens hearts were too fickle
Even her firm convictions changed so quickly.
Drug Hero, you wont join the war?
I think Ive intervened enough by bringing in the mermaids. The number of casualties should be small enough. Those fishes will help both foes and allies thats fallen overboard from drowning.
For their salvation, they squeezed them dry first, but that was better than death.
The savvy soldiers of the Northern Continent deliberately fell into the water. They had already lost the battle anyway, so they decided to save themselves and sumb to ecstasy in the process.
I looked over the scene from the huge ship I was riding.
At that moment, the water was covered with ice.
Although the waves quickly froze, it wasnt severe enough to kill the soldiers and mermaids.
Help! Im stuck! I cant get out!
W-what is this?!
Their upper body was stuck in the ice, turning them immobile.
Those underwater were unlucky, but the mermaids gave them artificial respiration, allowing them to survive for the time being.
Of course, it wasnt a natural phenomenon.
Magic.
One designed for arge area.
That was exactly what could turn the tide of war.
I knew of only one person from the Northern Continent who could do this.
The Sage also joined the battle.
I immediately discarded thoughts of gaining an easy victory.
From a ship hovering in the air with the help of magic, the Sage made a proud deration.
Rulers of the Northern Continent! I havee to help you with my knowledge over the abyss of magic! Let us y the greedy emperor of the Central Continent, and together we will return to the Mothend Kh?!
Before he could finish his monologue, he began to bleed.
It seemed that the appearance of ordinary mermaids couldnt affect him, but Ssosia and the Queen of Mermaids were on another league,
His boat, supported by magic, fell into the frozen water.
Bang!
He hasnt changed
But the battle wasnt over yet.
Before it crashed, some people managed to jump off it, all of whom but one I had already met.
Sword Princess, Ice Princess, Saintess C, Mercenary King, Ice Dragon
They began shouting all at once.
I politely replied. Shut up. You. Say something.
I couldnt take my eyes off the cute boy in the clothes of a nobleman who stood next to the Sword Princess.
The boy spoke slowly:
Mom said you killed my father. Therefore, I cannot forgive you.
Thats not true.
After ring at the Sword Princess for a moment, I looked at the boy again and solemnly dered, I am your father.
Chapter 219 - [12th Round] This Place!
Chapter 219 - [12th Round] This ce!
Nobody told me that he was my son. But as soon as I saw him, I immediately knew.
Was it because he looked like me? Not really.
Rather, he looked more like the Sword Princess.
All the natives of the Northern Continent admitted that I was sweet as a child, but this boy was different in appearance. Even his blond hair was from the Sword Princess.
But I still determined that he was my son.
I felt like I was looking into a dull mirror. If my assumptions were wrong, the universe would have already sent a sign.
My father?
Yes. Look into my eyes, and you will see that my words are not lies.
N-no It just cant be
The boy began to shake his head, denying his reality. I understood that he was confused because of such a sudden statement, but it would be good if he remembered that we were in the middle of a war and amid the sea at that.
Regardless
Its too noisy here.
I had to calm everyone down first.
The sounds of the soldiers fighting were just white noise to me, but thepanions from the Northern Continent who came with Sage were different.
They kept calling me a fraud, thus annoying me.
Dont listen to him, Chris!
The Emperor of Darkness cannot be your father!
Chris, dont give in!
Apparently, my sons name was Chris.
They had to pay for not asking me my own sons name.
I snapped my fingers, causing a sound wave to course through the battlefield.
It didnt kill, but it could rupture eardrums by exposing them to the lymphatic fluid inside the ear.
Sometimes during clinical trials, this led to a cerebral hemorrhage, but for as long as they didnt try to block it with their pathetic skills, everything should be alright.
Aaaahh!
Aurgh-!
Thepanions from the Northern Continents eyes rolled into their heads and began to fall one by one, their mouths starting to foam.
The staggering soldiers ears only started bleeding a little. That wasnt due to discrimination.
After all, the Sound Wave of the Righteous Hero treated everyone the same.
This slight hitch was due to the sinners abandonment of Mons justice.
However
As expected of my son.
The only one who survived it was Chris.
Genes remembered everything. The son of the Righteous Hero didnt resist. Rather, he led the wave through his body like a guide.
Hence, he still calmly stood before me.
Im fine too, Drug Hero.
Youre using cowardly methods again.
The First Spirit and Ssosia, who remained fine, muttered sphemies.
Five Spirit Kings, sexually harassing my body, also tried to insert their five cents.
But I just ignored them.
You can now talk calmly.
The soldiers of both armies had been eliminated.
They hadnt died yet, but they were now so exhausted they could no longer continue fighting.
I calmly looked at the stats of my son.
? Race: Man of Chaos
? Level: 999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 200%)
? Skills: Gifted MAX, Omnipotence MAX, Fortune MAX, Divinity S, Dark Energy S
? Status: Confused, Anxious
It was impossible to look at it calmly.
Even I couldnt raise Omnipotence above S-rank, but he had MAX-rank.
Although it was because of it that his other skills hadnt grown, its effects alone were impressive. There were no problems with it.
I took a closer look!
? Type: Skill
? Name: Omnipotence
? Rank: MAX (0%)
? Z:?
? SSS: Errorless.
? SS: Learns quickly.
? S: Perfect in everything.
? A: The errors made are insignificant.
? B: If he experiences something, he understands it quickly.
? C: Great at everything.
? D: Number of errors reduced.
? E: Learns from others quickly.
? F: Good at everything.
It had such an amazing all-epassing effect.
Depending on the conditions, his learning rate increased, and the number of errors made decreased. Its effects allowed him to do everything perfectly, too
That wasnt all that was interesting about him.
His Gifted skill wasnt inferior to his Omnipotence.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Gifted
? Rank: MAX (71%)
? Z:?
? SSS: Significant increase in agility.
? SS: Significant increase in sess rate.
? S: Significant increase in skill mastery.
? A: Significant increase in experience points gained.
? B: Slight improvement in agility.
? C: Slight improvement in sess rate.
? D: Slight improvement in skill mastery.
? E: Slight improvement in experience points gained.
? F: Born outstanding.
He certainly couldntpete against me, who became emperor at one year old, but considering that he didnt go through the process of regression, he was incredibly talented.
In addition, he was already 71% done oveing its limits.
If he had sacrificed other skills, except for Divinity and Dark Energy, which were difficult to upgrade to S-rank, then his skills would be even more impressive than it was now.
And even Fortune
Type: Skill
Name: Fortune
Rank: MAX (0%)
? Z:?
? SSS: Errors lead to sess.
? SS: Absorbs luck from the opponent.
? S: Inexhaustible luck.
? A: The energy of the universe sometimes helps.
? B: Small chance to ignore traps.
?C: Minor increase in luck.
? D: Rejects death by falling.
? E: Small chance to dodge arrows blindly.
? F: Luck increases.
Gifted, Omnipotence, Fortune.
I only needed to look at the name of one of these skills to smell cheating, but all of them were in one boy.
While others would already jump in happiness by just getting one of them, having all three still wasnt enough for my son. Hence, he was already trying to ovee the limit.
Plus, he had Divinity and Dark Energy!
These two attributes were difficult tobine because they were like water and oil, but he seeded in doing so without any problems, and at the end of all, his race was the Man of Chaos.
? Type: Race
? Name: Man of Chaos
? Rank: Ancient
? Ability 1: You can learn all the attributes (elements)
? Ability 2: Promising abilities
? Feature 1: Increases the effect of chaos
? Feature 2: Increases the effect of destruction
? Feature 3: Oblivion effect increases
? Race 1: Excellent adaptability
? Race 2: Unlocks various possibilities
Judging by the order of my sons skills, everything was the same as mine, except for Omnipotence.
Although I had it as well, since I didnt practice my production skills but focused onbat ones, I couldnt raise its rank.
Then, to move it up to the Z-rank, I tried practicing my production skills, but it was already toote.
By then, I no longer relied on Omnipotence since I had the Love of the Universe skill. I wasted my chance to level it up.
If I wasted time with the Gifted skill, I would also never be able to learn it again.
What did the Sword Princess say?
I didnt kill my sons adoptive father. I had only ever been to the Northern Continent once. It was to get Holy Sword C, which I then inserted into Golem D.
That you killed my young father, who was a fair and sweet aristocrat, and then pounced on my mother
I didnt hear what he muttered at the end, but I generally understood the situation.
Wasnt this called a dream that foreshadowed a future pregnancy?
I didnt know what the supervisor of the secondary education course was trying here, but it seemed that the Sword Princess had dreams about her past life when she helped me before the birth of our son.
But the dreams were fuzzy.
I immediately grew physically to kill the Demon Lord.
From a cute child, I turned into a gant hero!
If this process was omitted in the dreams of the Sword Princess, then it was no surprise that the current Sword Princess misunderstood.
She was looking after a sweet child, a wise ruler of the Northern Continent, when suddenly, in a dream, a brave man appeared in front of her and pierced her with his divine spear.
The faculty members of this course were doing their job in a very strange way
? Puzzled: I expected a touching meeting between father and son as well. I was confused when your child said that you killed his real father. Ill find out more about this from the seniors!
Woah, Trainee Teacher. You finally decided to be diligent with your work!
?Boastful: I actually always work hard!
I look forward to your input, Trainee Teacher.
In any case, it was necessary to quickly resolve the misunderstanding that had arisen due to the error of the teachers.
My childs appearance was like the Sword Princess, one of the three greatest beauties of the Northern Continent, but he inherited his skills from me.
No, since he had the Omnipotence skill, wouldnt he have already surpassed me?
Chris, Im your father. Havent you already felt it?
Why did you start the war?
If he were a different boy, I would have already taught him a lesson in the form of a herniated disc, but I couldnt do that to my own child.
Although heroes had to be fair to everyone
It seemed the time hade to retire.
To give it all to you.
What?
In the past three years, we couldve already met several times, but I didnte to you right away. The heroes only shout about romance and charity. I didnt want to show you that. However, I didnt think that I would meet you on my opponents side amid a war.
If you understand, follow me. The Holy Mon Empire is the country you will rule in the future. Ill teach you a lot while Im around.
Does your n also include the conquest of the Northern Continent?
A part of it, yes.
Foolish rulers and ignorant nobles thought that the winning battles were the most important in conquering other territories since that would signal the wars end.
However, the most important aspect of colonization actually started afterward.
Solving diplomatic problems and internal conflicts brought forth by the aftermath of the war should always be a kings top priority.
If one wasnt sure that they could defeat all the countries in the world, then it was better not to start a war.
The problem was in the widows and orphans left behind by the bloodbath.
Even ifpensation were paid to the affected families, the amount wouldnt be enough to live on it for a lifetime.
That couldnt be solved even if one had a lot of money.
After all, they wouldnt only be paying one or two families.
Intion would happen instantly, and the value of money would fall.
If an apple were 500 won today, it would cost 5000 won tomorrow.
Taking into ount the soldiers rewards in gratitude for their brave participation, within several days, the treasury would bepletely empty.
At that point, the entire country would go down to the bottom together.
Calctions here werent as fast as on Earth, and the transport was poorly developed, making it even easier to create rush demand.
Regardless
The unification of the Central and Northern Continents is just a small aspect of my overall n. You cannot be a great person if you look only forward and not around. This applies to both heroes and emperors, Carl.
Im Chris.
Ahem! Chris, follow me. You dont need to help me. Just look at what the Holy Mon Empire is, second in greatness only to Master Mon. Although if you do not like my management, you can change it in the future. This is also possible if you look-
Enough.
Im not interested in your throne. All I know is that my father makes a lot of people unhappy. As you said, war turns many women and children into widows and orphans.
I calmly listened to my son, who clearly pronounced every word.
I didnt think hes wrong.
It was just that
There is no world without victims. It is impossible to save everyone.
Stop making excuses for this onught.
Sword Princess! You instilled in my son the same strange thinking the Herospanions had
I couldnt continue.
As soon as I turned my head and looked at the lying Sword Princess, my son rushed at me.
This was a surprise attack?
It wasnt how the Sword Princess would do it.
She would have politely warned that she would attack.
But it didnt hurt me in any way.
After all, there was still a huge difference between us!
Cowardly husband, do you know what that is called?
What?
My son couldnt even stop me from talking to my self-proimed wife.
The apple not falling far from the apple tree. Externally, he doesnt look like you, but your fighting styles are the same. You both pretend to be a righteous hero and then attack cowardly when the opportunity allows it.
I wasnt angry with her. Instead, I showed her the Righteous Heros smile.
I then hugged my son tightly.
Huh?!
Hahaha! Since he doesnt look or even act like me, I started doubting whether he really is my son, but now Im certain.
Our bones were simr!
Chapter 220 - [12th Round] Post-processing
Chapter 220 - [12th Round] Post-processing
? Confusion: You can tell by your bones?
Naturally, Trainee Teacher!
Just like me, the Righteous Hero, my sons spine was straight, and because his vertebral joints were soft, his back was flexible.
But it would hurt for a while.
Kha?!
My son staggered and grabbed his back.
You shouldnt rx just because youre young.
Oooh
Although with the help of youth and magic, you will quickly recover. After all, I only touched you lightly.
Lightly Kh!
I looked at my son again. Family meetings were, of course, good, but we could no longer put off the work that I had to do as an emperor.
My army, heed my call!
The war wasnt over yet.
Pursue and hunt down the retreating fleet of the Northern Continent. Do as you will with the men, but take the women alive!
Because Sage fell with a nosebleed, the sea began to melt. The mermaids, now freed, began to take their own captives.
Whoa!
S-save me!
Im still a virgin
My clothes What are you doing?!
Ssh! Ssh!
They jumped out of the water like dolphins and grabbed soldiers who had lost their motivation to fight, taking them under the water.
Virgins, boys, old people, freaks
There were no exceptions.
High-ranking mermaids took men with good looks and high skills. Those of lower rank got the rest.
Their fate was sealed.
Those female fishes wouldnt kill them, but they would never let them go back to their families and friends until they had squeezed all the juices out of them. At that point, theyd simply throw them ashore.
And if they liked someone, they would leave him on a deserted ind.
Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the surviving women? Asked the previous owner of this ship, Old Aristocrat A.
If theyre wizards, then well recruit them to our side. If not, send them to wash dishes and clean toilets.
In this world, it was usually men who were involved in battles.
However, fragile women also sometimes took part in battles. If there were firearms in the modern world, then there was magic in the Fantasy World. With modern weapons in hand, a person just needed to pull the trigger. Likewise, to use magic, they didnt need much power.
There were exceptions, of course.
And what to do with them? Send them to your bedroom? Old Aristocrat A pointed to the Herospanions.
Sage was dragged away with a nosebleed by the Mermaid Queen, and as soon as the other mermaids heard my order, they immediately captured the malepanions.
The ones left were
The Sword Princess, Ice Princess, Saintess C
It was better not to mess with these dangerous women.
As soon as I let my guard down, deceived by their slender figures, I would immediately say goodbye to this world.
They had impressive stats.
Since skills and levels were calcted not by addition but by multiplication, muscr men were often stronger, but if such individuals could overpower them, they wouldnt be here now.
No exceptions Hey! Leave the underage boy with a bad back, damn fish!
I chased away the mermaids who were about to drag my son away.
That was really dangerous!
In a few years, I wouldve gained a hundred granddaughters.
If that happened, then my mother would definitely punish me with her tennis racket.
Son? Ready to get things done?
My mom
Chris was worried about the Sword Princess being dragged away by the knights.
She will be tortured.
H-how can you be so cruel?!
Until I unite the Northern Continent, we need to make her do the cleaning and dishwashing, which she hates, all day.
Thats torture?
The boy was confused.
I smiled and stroked his head.
Instead of shaking his head in different directions because he didnt like it, he grabbed his back again and fell.
Your father is a hero.
Ive already heard that.
Thats why Im fair.
Uhh Huh?
I couldve punished my enemies, including the ones dragged away by the mermaids, severely. There are many ways. I can have their arms and legs cut off and stop the bleeding. I can take their clothes off and put them on posts, disying them like gs. I can also torment them physically, followed by healing, until their level drops to 1 What? Isnt that what you expected?
The boys face turned pale.
Are you really a hero?
Yes. In fact, due to its shackles, I cant do any of those. Im just being used, and I hope you see that as well. Since Im ahead of everyone else, you think I should endure everything and not harm others, dont you? Am I wrong?
Well
Ill say it again. Im not waging wars.
War took everything from the defeated.
But even if I won, I wouldnt get anything.
I already had women on standby, and once I cleaned out the angels treasury, I would never be short of funds.
And the post of the emperor was also insignificant for me.
Then why?
To show you that your father is so great that Im iparable to any other father in the world.
You can ignore the Western Continent, where only huge flies live, as well as the depleted Southern Continent. That leaves only three continents. If you capture at least two of these three continents, then you can achieve what no emperor has ever been able to achieve.
Thats kind of Awkward.
The first time is always awkward.
I didnt argue with the child and just admitted it.
What did it mean to be a great father?
As far as I remembered, my father was the honorary president of the tennis club. And he cooked well, unlike my mother, who only had to touch tes to break it.
But that was all.
I wanted my son to respect me. I had never respected my father, so he couldnt be a good example in that regard.
Moreover, all these were memories of 60 years ago.
After being abducted into this world, my memory improved thanks to my skills, so if I forgot something, it was only because I didnt care about it.
Drug Hero, whats my name?
Then I developed a strange habit.
In the 1st round, all I thought about was how to get back to Earth. Therefore, I deliberately ignored any connections in this world.
I didnt even bother remembering names.
After all, even if I learned them, they would be of no use to me once I returned to Earth.
These were just casual connections.
But I didnt think I would have to live with that way of thinking for another 60 years.
I didnt remember what was of no value to me. After all, those wouldnt prevent the killing of the Demon Lord in any way.
I can simply hand over the throne of the emperor to you, but if I do it thoughtlessly, the end of the Central Continent wille. If I, the person with the absolute right to suppress others, retire, people with a different ideology will immediately appear and be your enemies. That will lead to the suffering of the people. Plus, its the Holy Mon Empire. This war was started in the name of Master Mon. Retreating would be considered sphemy. We must never stop until we conquer and unite the Northern Continent under mymand.
You leave me no choice.
Im sorry about that.
I sincerely apologized.
I thought if my son found out that I had united the Central Continent, he would happily shout, Cool! But his reaction was far from my expectations.
It all went wrong from the start.
All this was the fault of the teaching faculty.
Because they messed with the Sword Princesss dreams, our touching family reunion turned into such a mess.
Someday I will find out why everything has be like this!
And my back?
Your punishment for punching your father.
When will it pass?
I can fix it, but if I were going to heal you right away, I wouldnt have crippled you in the first ce. From now on, every time your back hurts, remember to respect your parents. I can only advise a mucus massage. It will help elevate the aches youre feeling.
The Holy Mon Empire navy had reached the Northern Continent.
Since most of their men were abducted by sea mermaids, their port was empty.
Only women and children remained in the port city.
The mayor and the feudal lords fled.
Complete chaos.
There was no one left to look after the order.
We saw how some hooligans grabbed the girls and sexually harassed them.
Oh, you Kh?!
My son was about to pounce on them like an angry rhino, but, clutching his back, he stopped.
That was why I love herniated discs.
They soothed those who try to act rashly.
From today onwards, I am now the new ruler of thisnd and the people that live in it! Thews to follow are simple. Those who take advantage of the riches of the greatest Master Mon will be sentenced to death. Hang those hooligans at the square.
Your Majesty, many of our soldiers need to rest. Said Aristocrat B, who was standing next to Old Aristocrat A.
Make a list of the names of the dead, and take the wounded from the ship and heal them in empty residences. Give the soldiers who have made special contributions some pocket money and allow them to have fun.
Have fun? That means
You perfectly understand what I mean, so why bother asking? Or do you want to hear it personally from me to be sure?
Ahem! Forgive this old man for his stupidity.
Old Aristocrat A burst outughing.
War tires people, even if theyre not fighting. Its all about the atmosphere. The soldiers must be tired of eating the same food every day as well, so make sure to add a few more varieties
Um Your Majesty.
What now?
Thats not entirely true.
Hmm?
I looked at Aristocrat B for an answer.
Apparently, because the food was prepared by the three best beauties of the Northern Continent, the soldiers have noints, although the dishes arent the most exquisite. As you said, its all about the atmosphere. Haha!
Apparently so.
There were three women in the Northern Continent of Fantasy whose beauty surpassed the rest. In my subjective opinion, everything about them except their personalities was beautiful.
Sword Princess, Saintess C, Ice Princess.
I wanted to get them to do all kinds of errands, starting with cleaning the entire ship, but it took them all day just to cook the food.
The Ice Princess and the Saintess, who didnt know how to cook, just peeled potatoes and distributed food
But the soldiers were happy all the same.
Its safe to say that there are no soldiers in the Holy Mon Empire who cannot contain their desires. Not because of courage and willpower, but because they were too shocked when they saw mermaids in the afternoon.
Thats
The post-war process now was different from before!
I instruct you to deal with the rest of the minor matters. From tomorrow, split up the fleet and capture every port in the southern part of the Northern Continent to ensure the safe delivery of goods.
What will you be doing, Your Majesty?
My son and I will go ind.
After the meeting ended, only I, the First Spirit, and Ssosia remained in the office. Chris went out to check the Sword Princesss safety.
Ssosia sat on a huge sofa with her legs crossed.
Cowardly Hero, I thought you were a scoundrel, but now I see you in a different light. Youre surprisingly gentle toward your family.
Im not soft, but I just dont know how to behave.
I sat down next to her and leaned against the wide back of the sofa.
Are you tired?
No
I started all this to look good in my sons eyes, but now I regretted bing an emperor.
What happened to the being who conquered the entire gxy?
If youre curious, how about asking him personally?
What?
I thought you knew. He watches you all the time. If you call him now, he will appear.
Really now?
I smiled in disbelief, but
? Confirmation: Everything is as Ssosia said. Have you decided to sympathize with me? You not knowing what to do with your son is so humanly. Its far from your usual personality that breaks the backs and necks of beauties without second thoughts.
It wasnt Trainee Teacher. Their mode ofmunication was simr, but themunicator was apletely different person.
How could he watch me?
? Exnation: What a stupid question. All of thepanions I have traveled with have be honored teachers. Did you think I was an exception?
The First Hero answered me cheerfully.
Chapter 221 - [12th Round] Crybaby + Voyeurism
Chapter 221 - [12th Round] Crybaby + Voyeurism
Damn it
If I remembered it correctly, I spoke untteringly about the Elder at least once a day.
It was amazing what he put up with all this time.
? Sigh: Im human too. Ive lost my temper more than once or twice, but Im not ipetent enough to get rid of a person in the right. In the past perhaps I was. However, when you consider how I acted with my wives, youll realize that a man grows by trial and error. Things are different now.
Apparently, a lot had umted in his soul.
He chatted incessantly.
Your conversation with that crybaby does not interest me. Ill wash up now. Dont wait for me until nightfall.
Crybaby?
He cried even on the day he ran away. Give him my regards. Oh, can you hear me? Ssosia left the officeughing.
? Exhale: That demoness is still the same. Now they call me the king without blood and tears. Regardless, youre lucky. Ive always wondered what she was like in bed. As expected, shes incredible. She has a very mean body, as you said.
Hey? Isnt watching your juniors personal life a little too much?
? Smile: You can be proud of that. I never thought that dem- no, that girl can moan so sweetly. I have a lot to learn from you. Although in terms ofbat power, you are still at the level of a dumb kid.
Combat power? Now youre making me wonder how strong you are.
? Laughter: Well, what difference would it make if you knew? Im not naive enough to tell others about my abilities, but Ive been watching you all this time, so Ill tell you a little. I can kill Noebius, who nearly killed you and destroyed an entire in 1 second.
Noebius with G-rank skills in 1 second?
That meant he could roam the universe without fear of anyone. I was neither jealous nor scared, however.
I was still alive.
No matter how much I, his junior, scolded him, he could only sit and listen.
In other words, although he imed to be incredibly strong, he couldnt rush in here now and beat me, who was supposedly weaker than him.
? Surprise: Witty, but youre right. Thats why Im now building up my strength. Because I saw my limit, although I thought that I would be strong forever, those who have numbers in their race are incredibly strong. Ssosia looks weak in your eyes, but if the systems restrictions are lifted, youll turn to dust before you can give her an order.
Strength
Even so, werent your son and his subjects quite weak?
? Confirmation: My child and my people that you defeated were really weak. But that is all rtive. There are not so many in the entire universe whose strengths areparable to natural disasters, even if we include the ones that have the potential to approach this level. Regardless, there are enough of them under mymand. Securityes first, so I hide them. They cannot show themselves so easily because their actions can easily lead to war.
You seem to be sitting quietly because you are afraid of losing.
? Confirmation: Again, bulls eye. You dont even know how strong the girls peeling your potatoes and distributing food all day really are.
I was curious about that.
You probably saw it, but the Phantom King Shakespeare recently summoned those who were yourpanions.
Alex, Aqua, Sylvia, Sage, Lanuvel, King of the Mercenaries
? Silence: Hmm
Say something or stop prying, mister voyeur.
? Solution: Dont call me a voyeur! That nickname does not suit the one who was once called the King of Harem.
Harem King? Huh! The Puppet King befits you more even though I respect you as a fellow hero.
? Counterattack: Didnt you peep through the memories left in the Chaos Artifacts yourself, Voyeuristic Junior?
But that was already far-fetched.
At least I didnt ask the gatekeeper for permission to go through the gate. I simply broke in whenever I wanted. Didnt you also pay a fee to get in? Dont dishonor the Heros name.
? Shiver: Coward! You remind your senior of the affairs of youth and still have the audacity to call yourself a just hero? Are you not ashamed?
Answer the question first. The pathetic King of the Elves often appeared in your memories as your best friend, but Alex, Lanuvel, and others werent there. Why?
? Answer: I dont like that you only need information from me, but I will answer for the sake of epting you into my ranks. They died in a decisive battle. During my adventures, I did not lose a singlepanion, but they all fell at once at the hands of the Demon Lord Pedonar.
And what about them now?
? Exnation: Companions fall into two categories. Those who joined during the adventure and those who were there from the beginning. Its a little embarrassing to talk about it, but as you said, those who joined in the middle of the journey were more like a support group. They were my personal cheerleaders. They were far away. Thats why they managed to survive.
Stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point. I dont want to hear about how all these cheerleaders that became your wives and then nailed you, after which you ended up running away and starting a new life.
? Shiver: Be careful with your words! You have no respect for your seniors at all!
Get to the point.
? Patience: Youre also shameless. You speak so rudely with a senior and even demand information. You call yourself a civilized citizen, but you clearlyckmunication skills. Ill tell you the next time my mood improves. By the way, I like your Saintess. Thats all for me, goodbye.
Eh? Hey, wait. Senior. Senior?
There was no answer.
Apparently, he really wasnt going to tell me.
The First Hero said that he was no longer what he was in the past, but it seemed like he hadnt changed a bit.
Wasnt provocation one of the main moral principles of the Hero?
He would provoke the enemy to attack him so that hispanions wouldnt suffer.
Dont tell anyone else that you are a Hero. Otherwise, I will be ashamed to raise my head anywhere as a representative of the same job, though I had assumed that since the time your wife scolded you. Due to that, bursting into tears, you rushed to your friend
? Suddenly: I didnt cry! And watch your words! Shouldnt you be more prudent when others are watching you!
Oh?! So youre still here? I thought you were offended, and you wont show yourself again.
? Shiver: Now Im really leaving. I dont care what you say about me. Dont even dream about getting useful information.
Now he was really gone.
I wished I could get some more information from him, but it didnt matter. I had another help window.
Isnt that right, Trainee Teacher?
? Confusion: I will definitely not disclose personal information about myself, cadet Kang Han Soo. My psyche is too weak.
Youre beautiful, so its okay.
? Shy: Again, youre not saying what you really think. I wont say that I dont like it, though! Still, you havent even seen me before!
I dont need to see you. I already know that you are the most beautiful girl I know!
? Confusion: Even though I know youre just using thesepliments as bait to squeeze information out of me, I still cant reject it. What are you interested in?
There seems to be a misunderstanding. I really think youre beautiful!
? Flustered: Say what you need already! Otherwise, Ill run away too. Hmph!
Dont mistake me for a vile sycophant, my secret friend. Otherwise, my heart, as weak as slime, wont be able to stand it.
? Motivation: Speak faster.
Im interested in the true identity of Alex, Lanuvel, and the others who have been officially epted into the ranks of the Herospanions. Maybe they are doubles of teachers or alter egos? Can you check?
? Answer: I can answer that without checking. From experienced senior colleagues to neer trainee teachers like me, all faculty members gather at New Years meetings to build trust and friendship. And I have not seen such people there.
And what about the honored teachers?
? Confusion: I am sure that they dont belong to the teachers who can influence the system with just one word, but to be honest, Im not that well informed about who holds that position. Maybe the seniors might know something, but its too dangerous to ask. Ah! If one of them is found abusing their power, itll be possible to petition for a list of names to be disclosed.
Abuse of Power
I know several people who hold the position of Honored Teacher. But they never harmed me by abusing their power.
We needed to think a little more about this.
Hmm. That took so long.
All because of my seniors long speeches.
Drug Hero, how long will you y the emperor? It seems to me that your son is not eager to be one. The First Spirit said, who had been sitting on my head all day. This is just my subjective opinion, but it is more boring than you ying with your fingers.
I cant just leave and give up everything now. If I stop now, my reputation will drop below the baseboard. Regardless, my child must take over the throne from me. Even if he doesnt want to, Ill make him. You seem to be confused. Hes not going to ascend to the throne because of his own will. Heaven decided that.
And once he had be an emperor, his train of thought might change.
After being emperor for a minute, hed want to refuse, but a day would pass, and he would understand that this suited him.
Except
Youre right, First Spirit.
Hee-hee! Have you finally recognized me?
Your image is already destroyed beyond repair, but thatugh Anyway, we need to hurry.
It was time to end the capture of the Northern Continent!
? Question: But didnt you only recently dock?
Trainee teacher, havent you heard of these words?
I came, I saw, I conquered.
The moment I arrived on the Northern Continent, the war was already over.
***
Son, politics is not asplicated as it seems. You can hire the best people in their field, share responsibilities between them, and thats it. If they want to illegally take possession of thend or raise a rebellion, they must immediately be sentenced to death. You just have to do that.
Thats a bit too much
They shouldnt be too capable. Otherwise, they might decide that theyre so incredible that they can be an emperor themselves and make this country better. Loyalty is more important than ability. Regardless, they will be able to give advice, even if it is criticism.
And if everyone is afraid of you?
That will be your mistake as an emperor.
Then thats your error.
Mine?
Look around.
I did.
Everyone smiled brightly and broadly.
Those who are afraid of me, step forward.
None did.
As you can see, your father sees right through people. If they were afraid of me, they wouldnt be smiling so happily now. Oh! Ipletely forgot. I kept the guests waiting. Deal with them quickly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Naked men and women with ck bags on their heads, standing in a row on a guillotine, had their heads chopped off.
Those were aristocrats who opposed me, trying to defend theirnds.
After aplete defeat at sea, most of the countries of the Northern Continent simply surrendered out of fear.
But there were always those who craved attention.
Hence, I granted them what they wanted!
Regardless of gender and status, they were led naked across the entire square and then executed.
I granted their wish, so they died without regrets. Am I wrong?
It is as you say, Your Majesty!
You are too merciful, Your Majesty!
In just two days, I captured half of the Northern Continent. I also finished getting the port cities. Now, there were only countries around the Snow Mountain M, located in the continents center.
The most important part of the Northern Continent.
Therey the Magic Kingdom, which had thergest number of wizards and served as my second homnd.
Once I took that ce, the war would end.
I can also see my nurse.
Nurse?
There this person that I know.
There were two years left before the initial call of the Hero.
She should still be alive right now.
Chapter 222 - [12th Round] The Emperor’s Return
Chapter 222 - [12th Round] The Emperors Return
Not even a year had passed since the Hero was summoned when I was born on the Northern Continent in the 8th round.
That meant that the nurse, a princess, who gave birth to me had already married a dastardly prince from a neighboring state in exchange for military assistance.
Not long after that, their country was utterly defeated in a war, causing it to fall apart and forcing the princess to flee to her homnd.
She didnt seed in that either, however.
Back then, it hadnt even been a year since the Hero was summoned. Hence, no matter how hard I tried, I couldnt save her.
But this time, it was different.
There were still two years left before the initial summoning.
The nurse not only hadnt died but also hadnt married the vile prince yet.
Due to my interference in the history of the Northern Continent, I couldnt even imagine what became of her.
But I didnt have to worry too much.
After all, I had a source of information.
Race: Human
Level: 999+
Job: Knight (Loyalty Fortitude )
Skills: Sword Mastery SSS, Fortitude SSS, Charisma SS, Willpower SS, Gifted S
State: Doubt, Fatigued, Humiliated
The Sword Princess distributed food to my army every day, which didnt fit the status of the most powerful knight of the Northern Continent.
She always followed the nurse.
Although she was a crazy woman who tried to kill me out of her own carelessness, by showing me her naked body, she was still incredibly loyal to her.
Naturally, she should know everything about her.
But there was a problem.
Emperor of Darkness, you are deeply mistaken if you think that I will tell you the princesss location that easily.
She didnt want to cooperate at all.
Its easy to get you to speak. I can drive you crazy with the help of a mind spirit, or I can tie your arms and legs and bring about 100 soldiers to y with you. But for the sake of my son Chris, I wont do any of those.
Chris is my son!
Even Chris had admitted that he was my son, yet the Sword Princess still couldnt ept it.
We werent married, so the only point of contact between us was our child
Mom the Emperor of Darkness really is my father
Youre mistaken, Chris! I would never allow someone like him to touch my body!
The conversation didnt go well.
The problem was my appearance.
Due to the fact that I was given birth to by a nurse, a local of Fantasy, the genes of the local dominated. I was slowly returning to my former appearance, which my soul remembered, but I hadntpletely reverted to my old look yet.
It didnt matter. My son and I had the same spine.
How should I convince this stubborn girl?
Oh! The royal seal!
This seal was inherited among those in whose veins royal blood flowed.
Many Fantasy states had a simr national treasure.
And it wasnt only the royals that had them. There was such a family heirloom in many aristocratic families and famous descendants of military families.
The royal seal in the form of a ring was preferred in this ce.
One could always wear it as a ring, and when necessary, use it as a seal.
Noteworthily enough, instead of cinnabar, they used their own blood for it.
Emperor of Darkness! Stealing the royal seal wont make me obey you!
Im only putting up with this for my childs sake
If you touch my son, I will never forgive you!
Oh my god, youre making my head split take her away and make her peel potatoes all day.
The knights retrieved the Sword Princess and returned her to her post.
Soon after, I noticed Chris ring at me.
Youre too rude to mother, and you hurt my back. Are you really my father?
Yeah. Would I just give such vastnds to some stranger?
Well that would be weird.
Just watch quietly. It wont take much longer.
The Holy Mon Empires army gathered around me.
They captured ports on all three sides of the Northern Continent, except for the northern part, where ships couldnt sail due to ciers. Soon enough, I gainedplete control over the sea.
The southern, western, and eastern parts of the continent were captured in that order.
All that remained were the central and northern parts.
That being said, the northern part was a permafrost zone ruled by one of the representatives of the Five Great Disasters, the Snow Queen Elsh. Therefore, only those whom she raises, like cattle, live there.
Your Majesty the Emperor, O mighty Hero, yer of the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, and disciple of Master Mon! Your army awaits your order!
Old aristocrat A, in excitement, announced thepletion of the soldiers preparation.
He only grumbled at me before, but he immediately became a faithful servant after seeing the results.
He apparently didnt think hed be able to see his g on thends of the Northern Continent.
There was no particr change in the behavior of other aristocrats and knights.
Smiling, I went up to the pulpit.
Combatants gathered in front of me.
Warriors of the Holy Mon Empire! I am proud and d that you are alive and that youve arrived here safely. Let ourrades who fell in battle be remembered as we fight to the end for their sake. I will sincerely pray that His protection will be with you. Mon.
Mon! Mon! Mon!
Mon! Mon! Mon!
Mon! Mon! Mon!
Go. Bring me victory!
Without Sage, their weapon of mass destruction, the Magic Kingdom couldnt even do anything.
Although the fighting forces of the Holy Mon Empire were cut in half without the sea mermaids, that didnt cause much of a problem.
The Northern Continent suffered a strategic defeat.
In this war, I never fought.
With my power, I could conquer the entire enemy territory in one day.
But right now, I was here as an emperor.
I left the battle to the soldiers while I developed a strategy and took care of the people and the prisoners.
The reason was simple.
Chris, why do you think Im not fighting?
Hmm Because yourezy?
Thank God for being born my son. Otherwise, your cervical vertebrae would already be Ahem! Well, anyway, lets go. A state built on strength is like a sandcastle. Those who are conquering the enemysnds and sticking their gs right now will one day show off their feats to their grandchildren. Hearing stories like that will make them proud of their country.
And what about the losing countries?
They wont think about rebellion even after I leave.
In the 1st round, I went through many difficulties.
There were cases when the Herospanions intervened in the war for one of the sides and brought victory to them when they were supposed to lose.
Such false wins led to consequences.
Among the losers, some said after the Hero left that it was all because of him that they lost and that if it wasnt for him, the war couldve been won.
The result was terrible.
Thepanions, who only looked ahead and rejoiced at every task they aplished, didnt think about anything else, but I, who always looked back, wasnt like that.
The princess who started a war because she didnt want a marriage of convenience became the mistress of a bandit who was even worse than a vile prince.
The illegitimate child who deposed his stupid older brother and became the heir to the throne watched his whole familye to an end since he couldnt secure the trust of the knights.
Therefore, I didnt go into battle.
Even if I intervened in all battles and won them to ensure the Holy Mon Empire would flourish, I wouldnt be able to remain emperor forever.
Would my heir be able to rece me?
People didnt think so.
I was me, and he was him.
No matter how great Chris grew up to be, he couldnt be me.
Even if Chris became stronger than me, the rebels wouldnt think so.
Have you heard of the phrase, Now I am on my knees to gain strength.\''
Not really.
Now you have. Anyway, what I want to say is that those who obey me now will scatter as soon as I leave. To minimize this, I am not allowed to show off, especially in battle.
I depicted it in the form of simple arithmetic.
If we expressed the fighting power in numbers, then
Example 1:
Holy Mon Empire + Emperor = 100
Holy Mon Empire= 40
As soon as the emperor left or was wounded, traitors would immediately appear, like mushrooms after rain.
Few people believed that his heir could surpass him. That could only be changed by him taking over an entire continent while still being the crowned prince.
What if it was like this instead?
Example 2:
Holy Mon Empire + Emperor = 100
Holy Mon Empire = 99
With or without an emperor, if there were no change in military power, then the entire political situation wouldnt change much.
To be honest, most countries fit the 2nd example.
The longer the countrys history, the less often one would find a ruler who fought well. New states, which heroes built ording to example 1, almost immediately disintegrated due to crimes, generational change, etc.
Chris, do you understand everything?
Yes, but you only think about the bad scenario.
Because I had already personally experienced setbacks several times.
I didnt want to talk about it with my son. The less he knew, the better hed sleep.
Your Majesty! A delegation has arrived from the capitted country.
Not from the Magic Kingdom?
No.
I see.
The Magic Kingdom was known for its pride throughout the Northern Continent. Even if they lost in numbers, they wouldnt just give up.
They were unfortunate enough to have a plutocracy of wizards.
Due to it, they believed that everything could be fixed with magic.
Sage could turn the tide of the war, but it wasnt known what became of him after the Queen of the Mermaids dragged him out to sea.
The course of this war could no longer be reversed.
Ill meet with them.
I went to the conference room to take over my second home.
***
Great Emperor of the Holy Mon Empire! I
No preludes are needed. Do you want to give me the princess as a sign of your surrender?
I I am surprised at Your Majestys wisdom The head of the delegation immediately began to bow.
Everything was as I expected.
The princess, who was sent from my second homnd as a tribute, was the nurse. I had be the one she should marry.
Her facial expression was as befitted a princess.
Even if she was married off to a stranger, it was impossible to tell from her expression that she was dissatisfied by it.
But she wasnt a toy. She didntpletely abandon her feelings.
To find out a little more about me, who would be her future husband, she quietly watched me.
100% princess.
She had more than just genes and the appearance of a royal.
Her fragile body was so beckoning. She couldnt be an assassin, unlike the Sword Princess, who could kill her husband at night.
Any man who didnt like the nurse was most likely a eunuch.
She was a real princess.
She didnt marry the beloved prince on a white horse, as in the novels. She was a canary who had voluntarily locked herself in a cage for the sake of her people that had been paying taxes all this time.
I calmed down.
If the nurse died or were already married due to a different setting, I wouldve considered this 12th round a failure.
But now I didnt have to worry about it.
I am honored to meet you. With a joyful heart, I ept your surrender and promise that your people will not suffer.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
I have but one condition.
Please, tell us.
I want to see your royal seal. I dont know much about the situation on the Northern Continent. Therefore, I want to check whether royal blood really flows in her.
Your Majesty, excuse the rudeness, but the royal seal is a national treasure, so it will be difficult to show it to you right now. Please give us at least a day to prepare it.
Ill allow it.
We are most thankful.
I assigned the Sword Princess to the nurse as a guard.
She became desperate when she learned that her homnd had surrendered to the Holy Mon Empire and had be a part of it, but she devotedly embarked on the mission as befitted a knight.
Soon enough, the royal seal arrived.
If the state had be a colony, then why did it need a national treasure?
It was better to give it voluntarily as a gift than to wait for it to be taken by force.
I took out the royal seal from a small box that was handed to me.
The ring was engraved with a blue dragon with an open mouth.
They say that this was a legendary work, which was left as a parting gift by Ice Dragon Sleas, which was more harmful than Freon, before leaving for the Southern Continent.
I didnt think Id wear it again.
Your Majesty! Be careful! If this ring is worn by someone whose veins do not contain royal blood, then their finger will freeze should freeze The puzzled ambassador stared at me with a stupid expression on his face, seeing how I put on the ring without any problems.
The previously invited Sword Princess and my son were also surprised, and the expressions of the Holy Mon Empire were no better.
With my Righteous Heros smile on my face, I made a deration.
Northern Continent, your emperor has returned!
Chapter 223 - [12th Round] The Living Demon
Chapter 223 - [12th Round] The Living Demon
Pedigree was very important.
It might not be important on Earth, but in the world of Fantasy, people often even sacrificed their lives to protect noble blood.
It was a little different from loyalty.
They believed that a descendant who inherited the blood of a hero and had many achievements would also be able to protect the world and their family.
Hence, it was more like a local creed.
It had already been scientifically proven that inherited genes didnt affect the future and fate of a person.
Talent was just talent.
How it would be used was in ones own hands.
But in the world of Fantasy, things were different.
H-how Such a miracle
His Majesty is a rtive of the White Hero!
Hoho! It was inevitable!
Unlike the gods of Earth that nobody had ever heard from or seen before, the God of the Fantasy World made her existence known.
I hadnt visited the temple since the 1st ythrough, but the God of the Fantasy World loved to intervene in the Heros adventures.
Locals called it destiny.
They believed that that was how God showed her love.
Dragons were the most influenced by this ideology.
That also included Ice Dragon Sleas, the destroyer of the environment and creator of the ring that I now wore.
That lizard also imitated God.
She gave special privileges to the Hero and his descendants.
Back when she was the Guardian of my second homnd, it was a very powerful empire. Although it quickly fell after she left for the Southern Continent.
Are there those who are against my rule?
No, Your Majesty!
That would be sphemy!
We will serve you faithfully!
Everyone bowed before me.
Even the Sword Princess, who hated me before, showed respect.
In the Fantasy World, bloodline was more important than talent. No matter how hard one tried, they still wouldnt be able to defeat the one who could order a powerful dragon to deal with everything due to their familial background.
Crushing an army of 5,000 was indeed an amazing feat.
However, if the dragon received an order from a member of the royal bloodline, she could defeat fifty thousand soldiers and save the entire country all alone!
There was noparison.
All of that was in the past, though.
The Dragon King, Noebius, had killed the rest of the guardian dragons, so there were no longer any of them left to impersonate God.
But this culture still remained as an exaltation of the pedigree.
That included the ring that I put on.
Henceforth, I cannot ept this marriage. But I swear on my reputation that Ill take care of the princess. Those who are against my decision,e forward.
Since there are no objections, lets move on to the next matter at hand. I dere that the capitting countries of the Northern Continent are now part of the Holy Mon Empire as a principality. There is no need to pay tribute, but every year on the day of the founding of the empire, legal heirs must be present, and those who vite this will be considered traitors.
I said nothing about the countries that didnt surrender.
Because the rulers of such states were executed, nothing could be done to them but to manage them personally until a worthy candidate appeared.
At that moment, noises began to rise from outside the meeting room.
BOOM!
I told my subjects not to bother me over little trifles. That was why when one of my subjects burst inside, I already knew what was happening was important.
Your Majesty! Trouble!
It was a guy who became the head of the knightly order instead of Alex, who had the misfortune of meeting stupid heroes, who led him to his death on the Western Continent. His name was most likely the Head of the Knightly Order B.
He didnt reach A-rank, but he was still useful and quick-witted.
What happened?
A demon has been summoned in the Magic Kingdom!
Demon?
Yes. The Knightly Order had already reached the capital, but the soldiers were helpless against the vile monster. I quickly ordered to retreat, but the demon is too strong
Enough, I get it. Arent my people dying out there as you prolong this?
Im sorry, Your Majesty!
I got up.
It wasnt for me to say this because I used the Demon Lords daughter as a heating pad, but
Its time to do my duty as a hero.
I was bored of ying the Emperor role.
I, the MAX-ss Hero, secretly wanted the Demon Lord himself to be the one summoned as I headed to the capital of the Magic Kingdom!
***
The inhabitants of Earth were mistaken about the inhabitants of Fantasy.
Elves, demons, angels, spirits, mermaids
Everyone had strange ideas about the non-human races.
However, they, too, ate and went to the toilet and would feel embarrassed if they were seen naked. If they made a mistake, they received scolding from their mother, and to avoid this, they used their father as a shield.
There was no perfect race that fed on nothing but dew and never made errors.
The same was true of the angels and demons, which we loved to pit against each other.
If angels were people with wings, then demons were people with horns.
But demons, unlike angels, were viewed as unpleasant by the masses.
Both of these races were mean and evil, but only demons had a negative image.
Yes, the God of the Fantasy World defeated the Demon Lord and used him and the entire demon race of deception and incitement, but the characteristic demon skill Awakening yed a big role in this.
The same was true of the monster before me.
Hahaha! Youre all no different from insects! Small and weak!
Demons could change their physical form to whatever they wanted.
They couldnt be as huge as the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, but they could turn their fingers into des or grow wings on their backs.
That was the demons awakening.
Most of them had unusual appearances.
Their females still tried to look good. Meanwhile, their males only needed strength, so their appearance wasnt that pleasant.
The enmity towards them probably began precisely because of the male ones.
The demon that the Head of the Knightly Order B trembled so much against also belonged to them.
Hmm This is the first time Im seeing that neer
He looked more like a monster than a demon.
He was about 3 meters tall, but he seemed evenrger because of his tentacles sticking out in different directions.
I took a look at his stats.
? Race: Exceptional Demon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Brutal Assassin (Assassination = Carnage )
? Skills: Dark Energy Z, Tentacles Z, Endurance MAX, Carnage MAX, Assassination MAX
? Status: Frenzy, Excitement, Enjoyment
His entire appearance and skills screamed that he was a viin who shouldnt be negotiated with and needed to be exterminated at once.
Id seen this a lot in the 1st round.
In any case
Oooohhh
Aaaahhh
Haaaaa
People, suspended by the grasps of the monsters tentacles, uttered strange groans.
King, queen, princes, princesses, servants, aristocrats, wizards
They werent wrapped in them but pierced in the area between their legs, like a kebab on a skewer.
For a moment, I was worried, but everything seemed to be fine since after everything was over, they would still be sent to the guillotine for treason.
Two Z-rank skills?
Those ranks were too high, even considering that I was already in the secondary education course.
If I wasnt here, he would have destroyed the Holy Mon Empire in a couple of days.
If Master Mon intervened, though, then there would be no traces left of him, but He shouldnt have any need to interfere.
Were the royal family and mages out of their minds? What did they think would happen if they summoned a demon with two Z-rank skills?
They were most likely deeply repentant now.
And you
You finally noticed me.
The demon, destroying everything in his path, red at me.
Hahaha! So you are the emperor they speak of!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
He rushed towards me.
Hearing his cry, the soldiers turned and looked at me.
His Majesty is here!
The Hero hase! We are saved!
Fools! Protect His Majesty!
The ordinary soldiers wanted me to protect them, but the knights wanted them to protect me. While they were arguing about it, the demon had already reached me.
And with his tentacles, he aimed at my butt.
I smiled.
Hey, you pervert.
It was time to put an end to this.
I summoned the wings of the righteous hero.
Fshuh!
Because of this, my magnificent royal robes were torn apart, but the demon would pay in full for it, so everything was fine.
Unfortunately, due to my introduction with the mantle, he quickly diminished all the fervor.
The wings of the righteous hero, which were able to break even the scales of the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, who once approached godhood with his G-rank skills, shredded through the demons body with ease.
The Holy Sword was just a spare.
Thanks to the teachings of Master Mon, the wings of the righteous hero were already stronger than the Holy Sword Nucleon.
I-it c-cant be my tentacles were destroyed without the Holy Sword?
Even before he died, the demon was talking nonsense.
A real hero does not rely only on the Holy Sword. Take note of this.
T-there is no other hero who has such wings
Bam!
The blood-covered demon fell.
He couldnt even recover since the blessing of the righteous hero interfered with his regeneration.
Its more of a curse than a blessing, the First Spirit put in her two cents.
Tsk. You dont even know what youre talking about. Holy blessing is poison for demons.
It seems to me that what the Drug Hero calls a holy blessing is poisonous for all races
Do you want to experience it yourself?
Dont insult the noble spirit!
The demon that canceled his awakening showed his true appearance.
Because of his huge size, I thought that he would be a man of 20-30 years old, but a child appeared who didnt even seem ten years old.
He was quite a kid.
He was, of course, much older, but that waspletely unexpected.
Was he stronger than the Demon Lord?
If he is such a strong demon, its impossible that Im unaware of his existence
For me, he was just a puppy, but if he was against another hero, then he was on the same threat level as the Five Great Disasters.
I didnt bother to guess.
Because I had someone to whom you can ask everything.
Ssosia. Show yourself.
Hey! You bastard!
Nothing could fix her.
Her husband called her, but she didnt even show a single drop of love. Instead, without even saying hello, she began to call me names.
Instead of clothes, she had soapy foams all over her body.
I wanted to ask you something.
How many times have I said not to call me so suddenly! Because of the curse, I cant even refuse!
I just wanted to see you as soon as possible.
Scoundrel Ssosia said coolly, calling out a long towel and covering her naked body with it.
Her expression and gaze softened a little, too.
I need to find out something right now.
I knew it! You called me not to because you wanted to see me!
Ssosias expression changed again.
I didnt pay attention to it.
Whos this demon? This is the first time Ive seen him.
Turning slightly and looking at the demon, she grunted.
Are youpletely stupid? Theres no way you know every demon out there. Its natural for you to meet someone of my kind for the first time.
Hearing her statement, I chuckled. After all
The only reason why I wouldnt know a demons name is if its a living demon.
Chapter 224 - [12th Round] Holy Mollan Empire
Chapter 224 - [12th Round] Holy Mon Empire
Ssosia was rendered speechless for a while by my logical exnation. Rubbing her forearms, she finally replied.
But Im not dead.
I just couldnt kill you.
I broke her neck during our kiss, but she was still fine.
A broken back caused her a lot of suffering, but it still didnt kill her.
I have had killed every demon except Ssosia, who was basically a cheat character.
From privates tomanders, I left no one alive.
No demon hadnt been in by my hands.
How should I say this Although the heroes duties include killing demons, when I hear it from your lips, the objective starts sounding way more malevolent than it actually is.
The demons are afraid of me. A hero who is not feared is not a hero at all. Even you ask me to spare you in bed.
I never asked for anything! And even if I did, theres no need to talk about it, you bastard!
Insults from demons are praises for heroes.
No, no. This isnt about demons and heroes. This is about the generally epted moral principles of rtionships between men and women!
The cowardly demons excuses flew into one ear of the Righteous Hero and flew out of the other.
It was time to get down to business.
So, who is this demon?
The representative of a new generation of demons, which was created by father, intervening in the system.
Huh
I remembered what Trainee Teacher mentioned earlier.
The Demon Lord Pedonar intervened in the system by introducing his unofficial patch. The teaching staff imed that everything had been fixed, but instead of the usual demons, mutants began to be born.
I dont know about you, but I already feel the difference. These demons are now everywhere, from elementary education to higher education. If earlier their sess rate was 95%, now it cant even reach 10%.
Why?
I really didnt understand it.
Are you asking because you actually dont know?
Yes. Otherwise, why would a hero ask anything from a vile demon like you?
Most of the heroes cant meet face to face with our father because of these mutants. Even if they grow strong enough to kill them, our father would already be recuperating, causing the hero to lose against him.
In other words, the stronger the heroes became during his adventures, the more advantageous the final battle became for the Demon Lord.
That was the dilemma.
Are my assumptions correct?
Yes.
But I still dont understand. Even mutants shouldnt be able to resist the pitiful power of friendship.
The heroes themselves didnt have to be stronger.
They could collect manypanions and add them to their squad to deal with the mutants. At that rate, they wouldnt need to get involved in an unequal battle with the Demon Lord.
His job is Brutal Assassin.
Oh!
I didnt immediately realize that versatile attacks wouldnt work against him because I killed him too quickly.
I checked his stats again.
? Race: Exceptional Demon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Brutal Assassin (Assassination = Carnage )
? Skills: Dark Energy Z, Tentacles Z, Endurance MAX, Carnage MAX, Assassination MAX
? Status: Death
Due to his job feature, his Carnage skills rank increased depending on his Assassination skills rank.
It was an amazing job that turned him into a weapon of mass destruction.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Carnage
? Rank: MAX
? Z:?
? SSS: XP reduction is canceled.
? SS: Deals damage over a huge area.
? S: Terrain has no effect.
? A: Significant ergement of the area of effect.
? B: Significant increase in damage.
? C: Added armor-piercing attribute.
? D: Ergement of the area of effect.
? E: Increased damage.
? F: Deals area damage.
While the Assassination skill didnt inflict damage as massive as Carnage, which focused on intimidating and eliminating arge number of enemies at once, they still had a simr effect, creating a synergy between them.
If I remembered correctly, among the demons, I hadnt met anyone with such a job yet.
Although third-rate viins like the leaders of mountain bandits or cold-blooded assassins could have the Carnage skill, its rank would be too low. The mutants job required both it being high-ranked and more or less highbat capabilities.
Everythings much more understandable now.
All high-ranking demons had terrible jobs.
Basically, all of them had a nonbat type, such as Aristocrat, which increased their status. Ssosia was no exception.
? Race: Second Demon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Queen (Charm Domination )
? Skills: Dark Energy ZZ, Life Energy ZZ, Immortality ZZ, Charm ZZ, Fortitude Z
? Condition: Magic (Demonic) Sword
It might be conspicuous due to herbat skills, but it was difficult to resist the pitiful power of friendship with her job.
The more the heroespanions supported them, the stronger the Holy Sword A became. The power of friendship could easily ovee even the skill Immortality.
It wasnt known, though, if shed be able to deal with transcendental skills.
And there are many such mutants?
Im not sure. They change from time to time to avoid being detected by the system firewall. Thats why in each dimension, a different number of mutants with different settings appear.
How interesting.
Want to know something even more interesting?
What?
Coming so close to my ear that I could smell the soap on her, Ssosia whispered.
Father has begun to understand the system.
Having entrusted the rest of the minor matters to my subjects, I went elsewhere to speak with her in private.
In such cases, there was nothing better than a bedroom.
***
The Demon Lord couldntmit suicide.
The Hero was summoned to kill the Demon Lord threatening the existence of the whole world. Hence, it wouldve been very awkward if the main viin killed himself.
Due to that, the system blocked the opportunity.
But I saw the Demon Lord kill himself once bymitting hara-kiri.
That was my worst battle with a Demon Lord. He just beat me up, but instead of finishing me off, hemitted suicide, forcing my journey to go downhill.
So this is how he made his way through the system
This world was an educational system based on the unification of the powers of the First Demon and the First Angel.
Although the First Demon was forced to invest in the construction of his own prison, that didnt change the fact that he was one of the main shareholders.
Usually, he couldnt exercise power.
But if the Hero, bing stronger, crossed a certain line, then the Demon Lords strength would increase so much that he would be able to interfere with the system.
That was the essence of his suicide.
It was the best way to disrupt the system.
Its extremely unpleasant for me, but my father, like the First Hero, appreciates you, Ssosia, absentmindedly opening her eyes and looking at me, said, lying on the wide bed, which used to be owned by the king of the Magic Kingdom.
For some reason, I dont feel happy that the Demon Lord recognizes me.
You are his hope.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Your wifes speaking to you seriously, and you call her words nonsense? Youre a beast!
After that, a fierce battle took ce, in which the Fantasy World was, fortunately, not destroyed.
And so 30 minutes passed.
Whimper! Youre not a hero at all! Youre just a hero who makes demons cry.
Thanks for thepliment.
Only my father liked the fact that someone like you appeared. Before that, although he knew he could tamper with the system, he failed every time. Simply put, the other heroes were too weak because they relied on the Holy Sword and theirpanions.
The Demon Lord worked hard.
He didnt spare anything for the sake of the growth of the Hero.
Children, servants, wealth, experience points
Usually, kings and princes who suffered from the Hero would want to take revenge on him personally, but the Demon Lord didnt leave his castle.
At the end of the 1st round, he asked me a question.
What was it again?
He asked if I knew something about the political world of demons
I didnt know about all the circumstances, so I didnt know what to answer.
A Demon Lord who wanted a hero to grow?
It soundedpletely illogical at the time.
But now, when he gave his daughter to me in marriage, I understood why he so desired it.
That was part of the political world of demons.
It was difficult for him to start somewhere, but then everything went smoothly. Because of the chance that you gave him, he intervened in the system and created such conditions that the Hero has no choice but to be stronger. This is why mutant demons came into existence. Now I cant even determine how much my father interfered with the system.
So someday the Demon Lord will be able to escape from this ce on his own?
Yes.
Because of me?
Yes. Because of you.
Did the hero just help the Demon Lord break free from his cage?
That was clearly a problem.
I didnt n for that to happen!
I only grew stronger to single-handedly defeat the Demon Lord. The consequences of that werent my fault!
It was absolutely absurd!
? Confusion: Various events and prizes have been prepared so that you dont kill him alone
Trainee Teacher, did you know about this?
? Denial: No. I already knew of the importance of love and friendship from my school days, but I didnt think they were clever tools that hid the educational systems ws. Im so surprised that my heart is still beating wildly.
I wanted to check if it really was beating because she was surprised.
My secret friend, would you like to go on a date with me?
Ssosia muttered something under her breath before she could answer, though.
As a token of gratitude, he gave his beloved daughter to such a bastard. Father cant even be considered a demon at this point! She whimpered.
Dont pretend to cry.
I have feelings too! Im allowed to cry if something upsets me!
At that moment, the First Spirit, who was sitting on my head, intervened.
My niece, forgive me for saying this, but it was you who filled out the prenuptial agreement. The Hero is just a victim.
Aunt, whose side are you on?
Im just telling you the truth But Im also on the side of drugs.
The Holy Mon Empire united the Northern Continent without its northern part and the Central Continent without its southern part.
Not considering the Western and Southern Continents, where the concept of kingdoms didnt exist yet since only a small poption lived there in tribes, then 60% of the Fantasy World was now under my control.
But that was only on the surface.
The Head of the Dark Commerce, who managed the entiremercial sphere, was my wife, and the strongest being in the universe, Master Mon, was my teacher.
Hence, it was safe to say that I controlled about 99.9% of this world.
The internal situation in the empire?
Mrs. Hippolia! Wait for me!
Well-mannereddies shouldnt run.
Yes, Mrs. Hippolia!
Due to family ties, our marriage was dissolved, and the nurse, whom the emperor treated like a younger sister, listened to Saintess H as her older sister.
Wasnt she too submissive?
But there was a pair that was theirplete opposite.
Chris, youre weak because you dont respect your great father.
I dont want to hear that from a dragon!
Race is not important. What matters is how you think about your father! This is why Im much stronger than you, even though youre his biological son! Im not even in my dragon form right now. The ying field is equal.
Hmm! Again!
Green Cake and Chris fought all day.
The results were always overwhelming victories for Green Cake.
Chris seemed angry because of his defeat, so with the help of the spatial transportation magic circle, he rushed across the Central and Northern Continents and fought monsters.
Knock knock!
The knocking sound came from the door as I stood near the office window, watching Princess Aqua frolicking with the mermaid in the Imperial Gardens pond.
What is it?
Your Majesty, the missing Sage has been found, but The maid hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Go on.
Forgive me for being rude, but youd better see it in person.
The First Spirit lying on my head began to beat on my forehead with her palm.
Quickly now, Drug Hero!
I would have gone without you urging me to.
I was interested in what had be of Sage, after all.
I, the MAX-ss Hero, hastened to see for myself where his little adventure with the mermaids led to.
Chapter 225 - [12th Round] My Aqua
Chapter 225 - [12th Round] My Aqua
Youre not permitted to go through here.
Move. I need to see the emperor.
The young man, who looked like he was only skin and bones at this point, argued with the knights.
Yet despite their gori-like bodies, they couldnt stop him.
They couldnt help it. Mermaids apanied the guy, putting enormous pressure on the knights.
Pass, my darling.
Stand back, you damn males!
Return as soon as you can so we can get down to business again, my love.
What position are we going to try today? Hoo hoo!
They were dressed in typical dresses of their race, each having a Princess job, level 999+, and one Z-rank skill.
Each was at Aquas level.
The best of the best.
These mermaids, like ardent fans, became attached to the skeleton-like individual.
That was the first time I saw mermaids support a man in such a way. Despite his appearance, I recognized him.
I rarely saw blue hair, after all.
Sage, youve changed a lot.
He went from being a boy to a man.
He who knew nothing about females had now be an adult!
But I didnt think that he would change, not only from a moral point of view but also from a physical one. His body and skills were different.
Hero, its not only my appearance.
Oh, I see. Your manner of speech also did.
It was as if he became apletely different person.
? Race: Human of Infinity
? Level: 999+
? Job: Enlightened (Lust Magic Power )
? Skills: Magic Power ZZ, Male Energy Z, Magic MAX, Witchcraft MAX, Dark Energy MAX
? Status: Sage, Golem, Exhaustion, Anemia
Previously, the more chaste he was, the higher his magical power was, but now the power of his magic was proportional to lust.
In the skills appeared Male Energy, which wasnt there before. What pissed me off the most was that for as long as there was a woman next to him, he would never lose.
Not to mention the Golem in his status
But what caught my eyes the most was his race.
The Man of Infinity.
Previously, his race was just Human. He got an upgrade.
? Type: Race
? Name: Human of Infinity
? Rank: Legendary
? Legendary 1: Sees the distant future of the world.
? Legendary 2: Sees a distant truth.
? Feature 1: Increases the infinity effect.
? Feature 2: Decreases the stamina effect.
? Feature 3: Does not faint.
? Race 1: Incredible fertility.
? Race 2: Unlocks various possibilities.
Sees the world and the truth of the distant future?
It wasnt yet clear what that meant.
But Id find out soon.
Sage, from whom the mermaids made a man, squinted at me.
Only I see what ending awaits this world!
Because of such a statement, I was speechless for a moment, but then Iughed hysterically.
Sage, forgive me, but can you tell me about it as well?
All this isplete nonsense! You think the world will be at peace if he gets rid of the Demon Lord! You know nothing! You are just the protagonist of the production, which was created at the behest of God! The truth is that
So thats what has umted in you.
I roughly understand what youve learned, but in this world, it is sometimes better not to know something. Look at yourself. Youre not even wearing a facade now.
This world is fake.
I didnt think it was.
Apologize to those who were born in this world. Maybe they were born in incubators, but their lives are true.
I also didnt like Fantasy, where there were no flush toilets and littered with savages.
But I wasnt a coward who couldnt tell the real world from a fake one, just like my wife, who created this world.
It seems that you have regained your memories, Ssosia said, looking at the Sage. Although I didnt call her, she still appeared.
God-Creator of Fantasy! How did you get here?! Sage shouted, his eyes widening in surprise.
I turned to my wife.
God-Creator of Fantasy?
I created this system. That name is a hastily invented pseudonym. Its not a story worth talking about here and now, is it?
Shes right.
Knight A, Knight B, Aristocrat B, Servant H, sea mermaids
There were many local savages here.
So I flicked my finger lightly.
As soon as I did, something clicked in the savages heads, causing them to pass out and fall to the floor.
But there was no need for them to kiss the floor.
The Soul Spirit King immediately took possession of the minds of the unconscious inhabitants.
He cleared their memories a little and sent them home as if nothing had happened here.
Beloved, Ille back tomorrow.
Hmm? Is it time to go home now?
Your Majesty! I have to go.
Even for a spirit king, it was difficult to control several sea mermaids that had Z-rank skills.
Everything turned out okay only since the mermaids lost consciousness, being defenseless.
They were also pretty stupid.
There shouldnt be any problems now, right?
We couldve just gone to another ce.
Thats too trivial.
If I could control the system again, I wouldve adjusted the settings so that they wouldnt choose minors who have no experience in life. There was no need to listen to my aunt, who spoke about the need to entrust the future to the young
Beginning to self-gete, Ssosia put her head on my shoulder.
I immediately pushed her away.
My shoulders cramping up. Get your head off.
You cant read the atmosphere at all, you brute! You cant even lend a shoulder to your woman?
Im having an important conversation with a friend who was a virgin before. The problem here is youre so dumb.
You well talk about thister.
Yes, yes, definitely.
I didnt know whats so funny, but the First Spirit continued to hold on to her stomach and make noises.
Was she having fun watching the Second Demon and the Hero fight?
Even Sage intervened.
God-Creator and Hero, I have been waiting for too long. Can we get down to business?
Speak.
This is what we are waiting for.
The Sage, pressing his temples, was silent for a while. Out of nowhere, he spoke.
Tell me how not to go crazy, God-Creator.
***
Computers were different from living beings.
Dual-core processor, quad-core processor
Aputer could perform several tasks or calctions at once.
Of course, some prodigies and geniuses could also perform several actions at the same time. There were some, for example, who could work with both their left and right hands.
But what if they were tasked to do a thousand things at the same time?
Cleaning, washing, studying, auditioning, intercourse, fighting
For a supeputer, that wouldnt be a problem.
But for humans?
It seems that you received some kind of transcendental knowledge that allowed you to break through the limitations of the system and regain your memory I think your seal has to be activated again.
Im afraid thats impossible, Sage replied coolly to Ssosias words.
At this time, I watched thendscape outside the window.
What cloudy weather
Lets go through everything in order. The current heroes are the fourth generation of heroes raised to rid themselves of the fallen First Hero. You are the second generation. However, your real soul disappeared with a wave of the Demon Lords hand. Now, you are nothing but the imprint of the original, based on a personal matter.
Disappeared?
Yes, it disappeared. If my assumptions are correct, then the memories of your school years when you were a candidate for the Second Generation Hero and the memories of the time you worked as a Sage of the Fourth Generation are mixed. However, you most likely dont remember anything about traveling outside the world of Fantasy. You dont even remember who the First Hero is, do you?
The Sages expression became darker than the clouds outside.
It seemed that it would rain soon.
In general, if you moved away from women and plunged into magic, you wouldnt have been pushed aside by the First Hero. And he wouldnt have lost his girlfriend.
Was that girl a mermaid?
I will only say this. The First Hero didnt take your girlfriend away from you. She died with you at the hands of the Demon Lord.
The atmosphere was as gloomy as the sky.
At such moments, there was nothing better than a song!
Hey! Aqua. Sing a funny song.
I called the mermaid watching the battle between Chris and Green Cake in the imperial garden.
But a strange reaction followed.
You bastard! Who do you think youre ordering to sing?
Oh?
Sage got angry for some reason. He pierced me with a look that said he would haunt my nightmares.
Whats with him?
Because Sir Hero is my man~? Because hes my man~?
Aqua, as if nothing happened, began to sing.
Hero, Aqua, Hero, Aqua, Hero, Aqua!
Sage repeated the same words, then his eyes turned red, and his whole body was engulfed in blue me-like energy.
My response was quick.
Bam!
I stabbed between his sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae.
The invisible protective shell that enveloped his body was immediately pierced.
I didnt behave like spirits who would stomp their feet andment, What to do? What to do?
I acted immediately and without holding back.
If I had to do something, then I would do it properly. That way, I wouldnt regret anythingter on.
But now, my intuition told me that Sage didnt die.
If this was the Sage I knew, then his head should have already been separated from his body. He wouldnt have flown away so easily.
Drug Hero, it will take a lot of money to repair the imperial pce.
I know.
I walked through the holes in the wall that looked like a tunnel that the fleeing Sage had made.
I didnt have the prejudice that wizards were physically weak, but I couldnt ignore the fact that he remained fine after an actual attack from me.
And with such skills, it was impossible
This system of cultivation was created with the help of my fathers power, which I took away. The third and fourth generations started from the bottom and slowly gained strength. However, the first and second generations were different. Only capable geniuses were chosen to be a part of them. If his memory has returned to him, then you can no longer look at him as the Sage you knew. Ssosia exined the situation, seemingly sensing my confusion.
In other words, do they have more strength than just skills?
Exactly.
The sage broke through the thick wall of the imperial pce in the Second Monpolis, located on the Northern Continent.
However, as expected, he didnt die. Rather, he was still perfectly fine.
I will never forgive you for taking away my love, Hero!
He didnt seem to be himself.
He mistook me for my senior.
Youre ndering an innocent person, you idiot!
You touched Aqua, so youre not as innocent as you im yourself to be.
I frowned at Ssosias reproach.
There was no time to waste on idle chatter. Giving the wizard time was dangerous.
He wasnt just any mage, either. He was the most powerful wizard in the world of Fantasy.
I will never forgive the sinner who fell in love with you. To obliterate him, I ask you to appear in this world, My Aqua!
Gu-goo-gu
A war golem was summoned.
It looked like the androids that invaded Earth but also a mermaid I knew.
Of course, I had to retaliate.
Heed my call, Captain Fantasy! Crush them with your cuteness!
At that moment, Ssosia screamed in horror for some reason.
Chapter 226 - [12th Round] Champion or 2nd Soldier
Chapter 226 - [12th Round] Champion or 2nd Soldier
Whoa!
Captain Fantasy, on the other hand, was d to see Ssosia.
He spread his lovely plump hands and, grabbing Ssosia, began to suck on her like a pacifier.
He clearly liked it.
But shes still second in line.
Captain Fantasy loved me the most.
Naturally, Ssosia, cursed to be ranked second at anything, was second in his heart.
In addition, he expressed love as a child!
At that moment, the mermaid suddenly hit Captain Fantasy in the head.
She wasnt a living being but an android created with the help of magical engineering.
Though unable to cut the childs soft skin, she made his head tilt slightly, showing how powerful the physical impact it dealt was.
I looked at its stats.
? Race: Premium Golem
? Level: 999+
? Job: Shaman (Beauty Physical Strength )
? Skills: Immortality G, Fortitude G, Endurance G, Charm ZZZ, Agility ZZZ
? Status: Good
Incredible
Its skills ranks were much higher than its creator. I wondered how it was possible for Sage to still be its master.
Ooh! Chmafk!
Focused on ying with Ssosia, Captain Fantasy ignored the androids offensive, brushing her aside like an annoying fly.
BOOM!
The difference in their weight sses came into y at that moment.
It wasnt only his skills. Captain Fantasys size, which served as one of his weapons, was colossal, much like the Supreme Dragon of Oblivions.
My Aqua! Sage shouted, sounding as if he just lost his beloved.
Most likely because of his sincere support, the mermaid immediately rose from the ground after being pped away by my creation.
However
Ooh!
There were no second chances.
Captain Fantasys booty crushed her.
It wasntpletely destroyed due to its G-rank Immortality, but his butt was toorge and soft. The moment he sat on it, all it could do was remain buried there.
As expected, the android mermaid fell silent.
Its job was Shaman, which essentially increased its strength rtive to its beauty, but the babys weight was far more transcendental.
The battle didntst that long at all.
Drug Hero, it seems to me that that Golem is a whole entity in itself, not a fragment of Aqua. The First Spirit said, grabbing my hair like reins.
Then its name from now on is Aqua-Golem.
My Aqua! Get rid of this wicked kids ass! Sages eyes began to bulge.
Now isnt the time to worry about others.
What?
CLAP!
The creator of the android immediately grew silent.
He was proficient in dodging my attacks, but it didnt matter. His fate was decided by one heavy blow from Captain Fantasy.
The Greatest Wizard, Sage, had exited the y, leaving behind only a small puddle of blood.
It all happened too quickly.
I wanted to ask him something, but it seemed I would have to wait until the next time we met. It remained unknown when that would happen, however.
Regardless, I still gained useful intel.
This institution could reuse those who had already disappeared, bringing them back to life.
If so, then there was nothing stopping them from cloning me as well.
Just thinking about it made me shiver.
? Exnation: You dont have to worry about it. They cant make clones while you are alive. The right term for it is Osmosis. Essentially, since the originals living presence would be too strong, it would drive their clones to death.
I appreciate the exnation, Trainee Teacher.
Hu
I unsummoned Captain Fantasy, and he disappeared with a sad expression on his face.
Completely exhausted, Ssosia fell into my arms.
You look more feminine now.
How rude. Im having a hard time right now, so just leave me alone.
I wrapped my arm around her hips, and as she pretended to be weak, I took her into an embrace.
Ssosia stared at me, her eyes widening.
Even when Im treating you well, you still look at me so viciously.
And you you look more masculine now.
Ill make you regret your insolenceter. Anyway. Ill be busy from now on.
Busy? You Oh, I forgot. You are the emperor.
Ssosia easily agreed this time despite her arguing with me all the time.
She really seemed to have been weakened.
FSHUH!
I opened the wings of the righteous hero.
Because of my position, I was forced to focus on documents all day, making me suddenly desire to be a hero again.
I considered it as nothing but a whim of mine.
Since Im already here, I guess I should eliminate the Snow Queen Elsh.
? Concern: Please do not treat one of the Five Disasters as entertainment
***
Snow Queen Elsh, one of the Five Great Disasters.
She ruled the northern part of the Northern Continent, located around the Snow Mountain M.
Locals believed that that sector wasnt habitable.
Why?
For starters, the environment was unsuitable for a normal life.
Since it snowed there all year round, it was impossible to engage in agriculture, and there were no other animals there besides dangerous monsters.
Hence, everyone already recognized that all of the Northern Continent belongs entirely to the Holy Mon Empire.
However, when I was one year old, I conquered even thesends.
My underground base used to be here.
I know.
And we met here for the first time.
I know that too.
Making my way through the blizzard to the very north, I dryly responded to Ssosias words, who was overwhelmed by her emotions.
It was virtually impossible for an ordinary person to survive on this frozennd, but magic made even the impossible possible.
That was how the Kingdom of Ice was born.
A kingdom ruled by lunatics who worshipped the Snow Queen Elsh as their Guardian and God.
Invader!
Demon!
These local inhabitants only ate the fruits and leaves of special nts growing in the northern part, and they were rather aggressive.
The wildest of all Fantasy savages.
That was most evident when they mistook me for a demon despite my heroic existence screaming righteousness and justice.
Its easy to misunderstand things with those things on your back.
You shouldnt judge a book by its cover, Ssosia. These beautiful wings have honored many viins and dastardly harems.
My wings evolved to kill enemies effectively.
Why was the Holy Sword the Holy Sword? What made it impossible to make a Holy Sharp Chicken and make the world learn of its taste?
Why did it have to be a terrible murder weapon?
That was because it was a convenient form for chopping up enemies.
Well That aside, since were already here, why dont we go to my house?
Your house?
Hearing Ssosias suggestion, I frowned.
Both my Hero job and my Emperor role were extremely important.
The longer I rested, the more people suffered.
Hero Sieg was extremely quick-witted when it came to matters like this.
After all, he used dastardly methods. He would have fun and calmly wait until people werepletely paralyzed beforeing to their rescue.
I didnt want to live like that.
At least until I retired.
Wow Thats an unexpected discovery. Now that I thought about it, Ive never seen you having fun during the day. No, even at night I guess youre actually working hard for the good of the family.
Ssosia had such an innocent expression on her face, almost as if she had just witnessed a miracle.
Does that surprise you so much?
Uh-huh.
If the Hero rests for one day, then the peace of all mankind would be postponed by that long as well. Thats like viting traffic rules and causing an ident. It would result in closed roads and traffic jams. Many would bete for work, deliveries would be dyed, and customers would break the phone numbers of the information desks. It would be horrible.
And that was just if I rested for one day.
But that used the parallel connection method, where everyone took a loss for a day. Using serial connection would produce a different result.
Basically, if I rested for one day, I would waste thousands of years.
Isnt that called the Eighth-Grader Syndrome?
This world revolves around me, like the protagonist of a fantasy novel, doesnt it?
This educational institution was created for me.
If I didnt save this world, it would suffer forever. Even my job was called The Hero Chosen by God, wasnt it?
Well to reduce your burden, there arepanions ready for you to take.
What if they only get in the way?
You need to findpanions like me.
What do you mean?
Who do you think made it possible for this empire to grow so quickly in such a short time? Who provided everyone with flush toilets? If it werent for the financial resources and support of the Dark Commerce I run, none of these wouldve been possible.
Hmm
That was impossible to deny.
Dark Commerce indeed had proven to be of great help.
Sir Hero, dont forget about me. My body and soul belong to His Majesty Elfheim, but I am your faithfulpanion until he reappears. Besides, I partially agree with your statement. If His Majesty Elfheim only reduced the time he spends entertaining himself, then the elves wouldve already pushed humans aside and ruled the world!
Shadow A stepped in and began to praise her wretched husband. She clearly intervened just for that reason alone.
Anyway, why dont we stop by my home? Theres something there that youd definitely want. Didnt you say you wanted to return to Earth?
Hmm? Oh!
I remembered now!
The reason why I wanted to see Ssosia again wasnt her mean breasts.
I discovered the First Heros underground base in the Holy Kingdoms dungeon. He had blueprints there based on which he tried to build a machine that could transport people between dimensions.
And Ssosia was the owner of those drawings.
After experimenting with it, my senior found out the mechanism didnt function efficiently, but perhaps she could create a better one?
If it were possible, I would have moved there already.
Well, its physically impossible but you dont have to transport your body there, do you? You can go to Earth with your soul.
Perhaps
My priority would be to check if my parents were okay. After that, Id need to read all the novels and y all the games that I missed the past six years.
An avatar was suitable for this.
The Holy Mon Empire might panic if their emperor disappeared, but it was for such asions that I prepared a sessor. I trusted that Chris would be able to handle everything.
There shouldnt be any problems.
But what about Fantasy?
The rest of the Heroes will be able to figure it out.
If the other nine heroes joined hands, wouldnt they be able to cope?
? Advice: The members of ss F are mostly problem children. Its best for your mental health not to expect too much from them.
Trainee Teachers words pierced my chest like a dagger.
But I hadnt changed my mind yet!
Are you going to improvise everything?
In cases like this, they say one bes decisive and energetic.
If you say so.
Hiding the wings that caused unnecessary misunderstandings, I followed Ssosia to her home.
Snow Queen Elsh was still a long way to go.
To meet that certain member of the Five Great Disasters, I had to go further north
Hohoho! My kids! Steal all the beauties of this city. Kill every woman and freak whod dare bother you!
Its Elsh!
Brother! Run faster!
Ah! My son!
Stopping and looking up at the sky, I muttered softly.
Has the boundless love of the universe dried up?
The Righteous Hero had to get to work!
Chapter 227 - [12th Round] Snow Woman
Chapter 227 - [12th Round] Snow Woman
Here in the Fantasy World, a lot of races only had one gender.
Orcs, goblins, trolls, ogres, dwarves, mermaids, giants,mias, arachnids
Most of them were considered monsters, and nature itself produced them, but that didnt mean they didnt think about reproduction and sexual attraction.
However, since they only had one gender, they could only satiate that heat through the human race.
They were the only race capable of interbreeding with others, after all. From dragons to elves, any race would do as long as their genitals matched in size.
The same was true of the harpies who abducted men.
Harpy.
Their races name itself meant kidnapper.
They were half-women, half-birds.
In Greek myths, they were viewed as evil and cowardly abductors of children and human souls, swooping in out of nowhere and disappearing like the wind just as quickly.
But in this world, they were slightly different.
As youmand, my queen!
Get the handsome ones!
Kill the women!
Here, they were warlike monstrosities.
They werent as lustful as mermaids, but they were rather dumb, attacking even when they knew it would mean certain death.
It was worth noting that they fought pretty well, though.
With the help of their wings, harpies could ovee and fly through blizzards and storms, and their talons were stronger than steel. Additionally, their feathers were immune to magic, preventing spells from working against them.
Their only weakness was that they had no feathers on their heads and bodies.
That being said, it was hard to hit harpies that could move freely and swiftly through the skies using bows.
Aaaaahhhh!
Let me go! Let go!
The harpies have taken my husband!
What is this?! Why is even Elsh here?!
The harpies werent interested in jewelry.
Their only concern was their position in their races hierarchy, which was decided by the number and quality of men they could capture.
Harpies measured strength and superiority based on how many men of excellence they had in their possession.
Of course, they kidnapped humans not only from human cities and settlements but also from each other. That cycle repeated until they died.
Among their kind, almost no one had lived to old age and died a natural death.
The ones that attacked the Ice Kingdoms city soon found me, their eyes sparkling like predators finding worthy prey.
But they just flew past me.
Why?
Those durds attitude heavily damaged my pride.
They treated me a little differently in the 1st round. Although not all, some nevertheless showed interest in me.
But that was all in the past.
Now, I was branded as nothing but an unpopr guy.
Even so, as the Righteous Hero, I denied this absurd reality!
Spreading the wings of the righteous hero, I attacked the harpies that behaved like the mistresses of the sky.
FSHUK! FSHUK! FSHUK!
Although their talons were tougher than steel, the horns on my wings were stronger and sharper than the Holy Sword itself.
Their heads and bodies being their weaknesses didnt matter to me.
Hes strong!
Lets kill him!
Ill end him!
The harpies came charging at me like moths to the light.
They attacked as if they didnt care or know that only inevitable death awaited them. In the end, they all fell from my just punishment. There were no exceptions.
It didnt matter if they numbered in the hundreds or thousands.
I would punish everyone who didnt see the worthy man in me!
Oh, you bastard!
Finally, the harpy queen herself turned her attention to me.
Snow Queen Elsh.
One of the Five Great Disasters, and the harpy with the most males. When she had enough fun with her captives, she handed them over to her subordinates, only to attack cities and viges to get new trophies.
Her body size was also three times that of the other harpies.
It was said that Elsh used to be an ordinary harpy, but after she caught and ate the Snow Woman of Legends, she gained the ability to use ice magic.
Harpies were immune to magic, but at the same time, they couldnt use it either. However, Elsh was adept at using ice magic.
The problem wasnt her magic itself.
All that approached her would freeze before impact.
Because of that, no matter how fast and sharp the arrows and projectiles were, they turned into ice before they could damage Elshs body.
The arrows simply shattered on impact, like a brittle crystal.
Elsh, even youre treating me like that
Then die underestimating me!
I loved reckless enemies.
I didnt really want a prolonged battle right now anyway. There was nothing more important than going to Ssosias house at this moment. I had to get into that machine and go back home.
Snow Queen Elsh was nothing but a small obstacle that had to be removed from my path.
There was nothing special about her stats.
? Race: Snow Harpy
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Snow Queen (Snowy Land Invincibility )
? Skills: Freeze ZZZ, Snowfall ZZ, Courage Z, Flying Z, Pration Z
? Status: Heart, Snow Woman, Teeth, Rage
Her skills specialized in freezing opponents.
Other than that, she was no different from other powerful harpies.
Freezing here meant that it slowed down the movement of molecules.
The Fire Spirit King, who settled between my legs, also didnt possess the power of fire in the literal sense.
Rather, it simply elerated the movement of molecules.
Foolish savages mistook this phenomenon for Ignite.
Time to work.
Hearing my order, the Fire Spirit King summoned his servants.
They made the molecules, which were slowed down due to the Snow Queens influence, move more actively.
In other words, they simply melted what was frozen.
Where did the Fire Spirit Kinge from?! Elsh eximed, realizing that her power was fading.
What? Is this the first time youve seen a hero growing a spirit in his pants?
So youre a hero?
Dont be surprised. Youre making yourself look like some kind of low-grade viin.
She wouldnt have a chance to be surprised anymore, though.
With the wings of the righteous hero, I struck her between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae.
I punctured her neck, which wasparable to the waist of an ordinary girl in girth, resulting in her beautiful head being decapitated and flung to the side.
The Snow Queen wouldnt be able to resurrect again.
I had melted all the snow here!
She had the roguish skill Snowfall, which disallowed her from losing, but once the snow around her had been cleared, she was no longer that dangerous.
? Confusion: The Five Great Disasters werent nned to be defeated so easily
If Elsh had been careful and retreated deeper into the permafrost region, starting a guerri war, our battle wouldve be longer and more tedious.
But she was inattentive, and I didnt give her time to think.
Well, all that remains is for me to pull out her icy heart.
Her heart woulde in handy on the Southern Continent.
Even without it, I could still kill the representative of the Five Great Disasters on the Southern Continent, the Fire King Phoenix. However, Hero Lemon, who proimed himself as my rival, would definitely need it.
However, when I was about to approach her headless body
FUUUUUUU!
A blizzard swept over the ce.
It was so violent that the fire spirits, who had collected the corpses of the harpies and used them as firewood, were forced to flee.
I deduced immediately that the Frozen Heart caused it.
Without dy, I summoned the Holy Sword and threw it with all my might at the queen, knowing that thends around us would soon be covered in snow in no time at all.
Her heart had to be destroyed before she could return.
The Holy Sword slipped out of my hand and flew towards her, but it was moved slightly off its course due to the snowstorms intensity.
Had my luck left me?
I felt as if I had none at all today.
Snoooo
The Snow Queen had resurrected.
But it was difficult to call her a harpy now. She didnt even have a womans head anymore.
Instead, it now resembled the head of a dragon.
Her mouth was filled with sharp fangs, like an Archeopteryx, and on her head were feathers arranged in such a way that made it look like she was wearing a crown.
The changes in her body didnt end there.
There was a being in the center of her featherless chest.
I didnt have to wonder about its identity.
Snow Woman.
That was new. I had seen Elshs transformation before, but not this woman.
? Race: Bigfoot
? Level: 1
? Job: Snow Woman (Snowy Land Charisma )
? Skills: Snowfall G
? Status: Heart
If she had a high enough level, shed be able to freeze an entire with her skill.
Apparently, the Snow Woman was Elshs heart.
She didnt appear in elementary education.
Hmm. Is that a special technique she can use exclusively for the secondary education course?
I wanted to find out more about it, but nothing would remain of the city at this rate. I swallowed my interest.
From here on out, the Snow Queen was truly ready forbat.
Now the problem was in her head.
She couldsh out and bite like a bird of prey. And the moment her fangs sank into her victims flesh, it would spread frostbite within them that would kill their cells.
No matter how hard they tried to heal that trauma, they would forever be left with a whirlwind-looking scar.
Snooo
Round two.
I charged towards her, leaving a whirlwind of snow behind me.
In the 1st round, I got rid of the snow with the help of the locals. After having sealed her endless resurrection, I somehow managed to kill her.
Back then, of course, I lost somepanions, but it didnt matter. The safety of the inhabitants was more important.
Now the role of the locals was yed by spirits.
But they werent really needed either.
I was going to destroy her very soul, after all.
I decided to use Demon Lord Pedonars technique.
The main condition was physical contact.
The existing dark matter across the ce instantly crushed the skull of the Snow Queen Elsh.
But she never thought of dying. Opening her mouth wide, she was about to pierce me with her sharp fangs but was unable to break through the Divinity that protected my body.
I was somewhat disappointed by her skill.
FSHUK!
Did something just pierce my belly?
I looked down.
Ho! Did the Snow Woman do this?
I thought that she was only ying the role of the heart, but she looked at me, her mouth wide open.
If she just stared, I wouldnt be so surprised.
I was confused about how the icy fang sticking out of her mouth could instantly pierce through my stomach.
She then froze it.
My internal organs immediately lost their ability to function.
Dont bite me. It infuriates me.
Hehe Heh?!
Ignoring theughter, I ced my hand on the cleft between the Snow Womans breasts.
And pushing my hand through, I ripped her heart out.
The Snow Woman, with the light dimming in her eyes, looked at me. She didnt understand why I was still alive.
Licking her blue heart like a lollipop, I replied.
Actually, Im a Legendary Hero.
She was invincible only in snowynds, but I was invincible no matter where I went.
Chapter 228 - [12th Round] Freedom and Bondage
Chapter 228 - [12th Round] Freedom and Bondage
To be honest, One of the Five Great Disasters being able to hurt me with such a trivial skill surprised me.
My abdominal wound was also even worse than the one I sustained in the first round.
However
Before the teachings of the greatest Master Mon, this was simply nothing.
The never-fading vortex-shaped blue scar quickly disappeared.
But that wasnt the case for everyone else.
Even the First Hero I talked to a few days ago couldnt get rid of it.
That showed how powerful the deadly techniques of the Five Great Disasters were.
? Difficulty: That scar is also called the badge of bad luck. To counter it, the party must have an angel. Otherwise, it could kill heroes and make them losepanions. But if they go through the process of regression, then the scar will naturally disappear.
Wont the angels die, Trainee Teacher?
That attack broke through my Z-rank Divinity. I didnt think angels could handle that.
? Exnation: The angels vitality is much higher than you think, cadet Kang Han Soo. They have an innate light attribute, preventing them from dying until their heart is destroyed.
Thats strange. As far as I remember, theyre easy to kill!
? Confusion: Indeed. At the Festival, the angels you met quickly died. Hmm Perhaps its because those who were subjected to your fair trial were fallen angels.
Youre going to move me to tears, Ms. Beautiful!
Light attribute, huh?
They would never die until their heart was destroyed.
That was an extremely useful feature for any race, but I wouldnt disappear until my name was forgotten, so I had nothing to envy.
The city where the blizzard fell was full of the in harpies, their corpses mortally wounded by the wings of the righteous hero.
But the scene didntst for long. After a while, the corpses disappeared into the ground, absorbed by nature.
Your sin lies in the fact that you didnt recognize me as a worthy man.
My poprity had dropped since the first round.
How was this possible?
Drug Hero, you seem to be misunderstanding something. The First Spirit spoke up, still sitting on my head.
What?
The harpies didnt see you as a human.
Huh?
What was that nonsense?
Mermaids dont care about the race of the male theyre about to make love to, be it human, demon, or elf, for as long as theyre handsome. Harpies, however, arent like that. Theyre only interested in humans.
I know that. Are you saying that Im no longer categorized as human despite being born one?
Even if youre born human, that doesnt mean youll remain as one. You are slowly bing a spirit. Its simple. Think about it this way. If a human bes a legend, what will they turn into?
A deity?
Close. A heroic soul, one step below godhood.
I had no idea what that meant, but I realized that I was turning into something non-human.
Well, youll understand sooner orter.
Now I was interested in the heart in my hand.
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.
It was still beating.
It was different from the Heart of the Snow Queen Elsh that I knew. This one looked like a sapphire.
And
Whats this?
At that moment, my mind was sent somewhere else.
***
In front of me was a dragon as white as snow.
If I had to define its race, it would either be a White Dragon or a Snow Dragon. They were simr in color, but there was a way to tell them apart.
Ice.
Well, it had to be an Ice Dragon.
Let her go now, Snow King Eshinoff!
The main character before me, First Hero, shouted. He always appeared as soon as I touched a Chaos Artifact.
Who were we talking about?
Ice?
If something happens to her, Im not going to turn a blind eye to it!
The First Hero wasnt alone. Behind him were hispanions and a harem for support.
They seemed to want to kill the dragon, whom he named The Snow King Eshinoff, and save some girl.
But who was the female?
That was when I noticed the human under the dragons paws. No, she didnt belong to our kind. After all, our hands werent covered with snow-white feathers.
She was definitely a harpy.
Sir Hero, be careful.
Provoking the Snow King is dangerous.
If something goes wrong, she might get killed The beautiful girls who stood behind the First Hero began giving advice.
As they said, it was best not to anger that dragon. Otherwise, the harpy they were nning to save would simply be torn to shreds.
Ahem!
My senior wasnt a fool. He didnt make any sudden movements despite the dragon doing what he wanted.
Eshinoff opened his mouth and released a breath.
Iceee!
The snow-covered forest was instantly engulfed in ice.
The First Hero and hispanions were fine, but his support group, who had lowbat skills, was put on the brink of death.
Their appearance alone made it evident that they wouldnt be able to withstand another st.
But my senior still didnt attack. Instead, he took a defensive position to protect his support group
Tsk! This was hard to watch! Just attack!
It was so pathetic that if I could intervene, I wouldve fought in his ce.
At that moment, the captured harpy made a request.
Sir Hero, do not worry about me and just y him.
She was different from the harpies I knew.
The members of her race had always had sharp, hawk-like res, but her gaze was cute and innocent, almost like a chickens.
Dont talk nonsense.
Sorry.
I will definitely save you! Just wait a little!
I will, Sir Hero
Even her manner of speaking with my senior was unusual. While hers was soft and gentle like a princess, half of the phrases of her warmongering kind were about murder.
How did that happen?
Iceeee
The dragon, like me, could no longer contain itself. He moved, opening his jaws wide. However, instead of letting his breath out again, he grabbed his hostage.
At that moment, the First Hero was too focused on defending against a possible attack to protect his support group, causing him to fail to react on time.
It was only for a moment, but I was able to see the harpys body.
Like her character, her body was also different from others.
She was white from head to toe and had human-like legs that were so wless that she couldve boasted about them being perfect.
But for her kind, such legs werent at all suitable.
After all, their sharp talons were their main weapons. Those were what they used to grab and carry their victims and hold onto tree branches like birds.
Hence, from her races point of view, such short toes and nails were ws.
But from a humans perspective, there was nothing wrong with them.
Iceee!
N-no!
The dragon swallowed the harpy straight into his stomach.
Falling to his knees, the First Hero screamed, and the dragon, pping his wings and tail,ughed. Hispanions behind him could only look at him with pity in their eyes.
And the support group
Ah
She was a kind harpy
How cruel
Everyone lowered their heads as if they couldnt look at the terrible scene.
However, unlike my predecessor, I could see their expressions.
Some of them were calm, but some looked joyful.
None of them were sad.
Snow King Eshinoff! I will definitely kill you!
Iceee~?
Even hearing the Heros threats, the dragon let out augh befitting his evil nature. I wanted to write it down and show it to Green Cake.
But his calmness didntst long.
Iceee?!
The dragon, having swallowed the mutant harpy, began to roll on the ground, clutching his stomach.
I would have attacked already, but the senior was too busy protecting the support group to prevent them from being blown away by the dragons thrashing.
Hmm. Thats what you get for consuming gically modified organisms.
The dragons body began to change rapidly.
KRRRRHH!
In a weird turn of events, the white dragon became a white bird. They said that the ancestors of birds were dragons, so that wasnt surprising.
Iceeeee?! looking at his body, the bird, which used to be a dragon, cried mournfully.
I knew someone who looked just like him.
After all, I just fought her.
You are the Snow King Eshinoff? The First Hero asked. That was a stupid question.
The birds face changed to that of a beautiful girl.
I will think about it after I kill you, Hero.
I knew who it was.
Snow Queen Elsh.
In the past, the great evil dragon turned into a harpy by eating a GMO product!
What a tragic story.
That was a good lesson for me. From now on, I will stick to organic food.
Excuse me, but I didnt show you my past for this
The GMO product intervened in the conclusion of the Righteous Hero, ruining everything!
***
That was a verymonce story.
She became an outcast in her race because she was born with useless human legs. Since she didnt have sharp ws or talons, she couldnt hunt alone either.
Instead, she was picked up by a wizard due to her talent for magic and lived near a human vige. She always wore long sleeves to hide her wings and her harpy identity.
Rumors about her beauty instantly spread, and she was given the nickname Snow Woman since her entire body was white and all the magic she had in her arsenal was associated with ice.
The Snow Woman happily lived in this vige until she met the Hero, who brought troubles and misfortunes with him.
The wizard used the feathers from her wings as a catalyst for magic, but he taught her magic and fed her, so it couldnt be said that he was cruel to her.
The problem was with the First Hero.
Senior I really respect you.
To him, it didnt matter if the being in front of him was a monster or not. All he cared about was if the female had a beautiful face and figure.
He argued that all races were equal, and he lived by his words. He actually practiced it.
Fantasy romance with a monster!
For me, that was already too high a barrier.
After arriving in the vige, the Hero fell for the beautiful appearance of the Snow Woman and began to look after her. His support group, out of jealousy, revealed the whole truth about this woman.
When it was revealed that she was a monster, the Snow Woman tried to escape but caught the eye of an evil dragon looking for something to do.
And then it became a GMO product.
If we close our eyes to some distorted facts, then in general, thats how it unfolded. When the Snow King Eshinoff swallowed me, I merged with this evil dragon
Wait! I dont need details, so lets get to the point. Tell me what you want quickly, and lets get it over with. Ive already wasted too much time watching and listening to your story.
Freedom and Bondage.
Dumbass. Thats the furthest your answer can go from being clear and straightforward.
Seriously? I want to escape from my fate of always being hunted by heroes. In return, if you grant me freedom, I will bind myself to you.
This harpy not only had a rare appearance. She also had specific tastes.
Chapter 229 - [12th Round] I Will Definitely Come Back!
Chapter 229 - [12th Round] I Will Definitely Come Back!
After all, I have no hands.
If the daughter of some aristocrat were the one that said that, I would have taught her a lesson, but she really had no hands. She was a harpy, after all.
Birds feet and legs fulfilled the roles of hands.
That also applied to harpies, but the Snow Woman had human legs, disallowing her from doing anything with them.
She needed help eating, washing, getting dressed, and going to the toilet.
To avoid being enved, she wanted to use the Righteous Hero as her personal servant!
Maybe it would work on the First Hero, who didnt care whether the being in front of him was a monster for as long as she was a finedy, but I had already learned from experience with the cunning Lanuvel, who always pretended to be cute, to avoid doing that.
In other words, I was terminating this contract.
Oh Youre making it sound like Im an evil harpy Sir Hero, you dont need to spend a lot of time on me. After all, for my survival, I diligently practiced magic. I can do anything. All I ask from you is for you to feed, wash, and dress me.
Bird brain, listen to me carefully. It will take almost the whole day to feed, wash, and clothe you.
Ssosia could do it instead of me, though. Shed be able to look after her husbands pet, wouldnt she?
The question is what Ill get from this deal. Tell me or get out of my head.
She didnt reply. She probably didnt have anything to offer.
This stupid ghost tugged at me for such a trifling matter
You just asked! Give me some time to think!
Hey birdbrain, how about finding yourself a dumber master? There will definitely be someone like the First Hero somewhere out there.
I wasnt as generous as the First Hero, so this wouldnt work with me.
The wizard said I was beautiful. Other harpiesughed at my feet, but people praised them and envied them. You are also human, so you should be happy with them.
So if someone didnt like her legs, they wouldnt be human at all?
This harpy continued to set her traps.
Heroes like my senior, who were easily fooled, would easily fall for the onught of her skillful speech.
As for me, I didnt need a decorative monster.
Hmm Ah! The mage also said that my feathers are a good magical catalyst. White wings symbolized light. Therefore, they are useful even for high-level magic such as moving through spaces
epted! You are epted!
Huh?
Snow Woman, starting tomorrow, well be putting your feathers to work.
How nice would it be if she didnt fill my head with unnecessary ideas but immediately told me about her experience? She just wasted my time and nerves on a boring interview.
Do you really know how to move through space?
I studied about it with the wizard, but I didnt practice it
Great! You can start working today! My wife will help you with food, bathing, and clothes, so dont worry. All you have to do is pluck out your feathers and work diligently on your spatial magic. If this works, I will look after you until old age!
The love of the universe still hadnt left me.
Bad luck fell on my head to introduce me to the Snow Woman, who wielded such powerful magic.
I felt incredibly grateful!
However, I first had to understand how I could help her escape.
I couldnt even figure out how to get my son out of here, which was why I enrolled in a secondary education course. This problem was no better, and it was starting to give me a headache.
How could I get her out of this system?
I decided not to think alone but to ask the Trainee Teacher.
Trainee Teacher!
? Difficulty: Dont ask a teacher, even a trainee, to teach you how to disrupt the learning process. Thats also the heart of one of the Five Great Disasters. Saving the soul of a simple Inhabitant A is already difficult. That means saving the souls of beings that are second only to the Demon Lord in strength is impossible. I know youre a capable student, but I think its better to give up this time.
I understand why you are saying that. After all, I havent found any solution either.
At such moments, it was best to turn to Ssosia. She was the creator of the system, after all.
Why me? She asked in return.
Teach me how to get her out.
Hey, think for yourself. Thatll only bring me more harm than good, so dont even think for a second that Ill cooperate. I dont want to keep an eye on a harpy.
Speak.
For the forever second Ssosia, my orders were absolute.
A-asshole! The heavens will punish you Ah! Why is the universe on your side?!
Annoyed, Ssosia began to answer my problem.
In essence
In other words, I need to cheat the system?
Just as the Sword Princess had a dream before giving birth to your son, a simr method is needed. However, it shouldnt vite the general settings, only deceive the system. Oh! You better not make any mistakes as the faculty members did. The value of your son and the Five Great Disasters is different.
I understand the principle. What about the method?
If there was no way to get her out, all exnations were useless.
Raising the corners of her lips, Ssosia replied indifferently.
We need to change history.
For the first time in the 63 years of my experience in the Fantasy World, realitys direction had deviated towards science fiction.
***
For it, we moved to another ce.
We needed a time machine to change history. And one such gadget, like unnecessary junk, was kept at Ssosias house.
Which was only a stones throw away.
Everything turned out as the heavens desired it to, almost as if it had already predetermined this oue.
The love of the universe is a real fraud
Ssosia was just jealous that the President of the Universe loved me so much.
I looked at the time machine she built from every angle.
I want to check if my parents are okay first.
With this thing, I could get to Earth without a graduation certificate. This machine would fulfill a dream of mine that had been dyed for 63 years.
This was probably how the student with the worst grades would feel if they saw a drug that could make him incredibly smart?
My heart fluttered.
Time Machine.
People thought that with it, theyd be able to go back in time and change the course of history as they please. However, such technology included more extensive possibilities.
It didnt send the user into the past.
This device moved to the measurement of the past. They could never turn back time.
Simply put, if the time machine could turn back time and send them into the past, it would mean that at this very moment, the entire vast universe, which was constantly expanding, would stop and revert to the state it was in at the users chosen time.
The effort that would take was already at an astronomical scale that defied description.
And to use that unthinkable power, one would also need a mechanism that could store and use it.
Hence
Your prelude is too long, disgraceful husband. The time machine brought the magic of spatial transport to life with the help of science. Its as simple as that.
Ssosias reproach rendered me speechless for a minute.
It was hard to agree that my exnations were long, but her words were correct.
The time machine and the mechanism of spatial transfer. These concepts were synonymous.
If anyone really knew how to turn back time, they would be Master Mon or another God.
But that didnt mean that spatial transfer would be easy.
If everything were that simple, I would have already returned to Earth.
Even I, who boasted immense strength, needed the help of a third party.
Well, what about my house?
So-so.
She tried to show off her luxurious home to the emperor who united two continents.
If I looked closely, Id probably find dust under her bed and many other faults, but I was only interested in her invention right now.
It was a huge capsule, like a bathroom, with a bluish liquid inside.
This was the time machine Ssosia was talking about.
Get in already. You dont have toe back for the next 5,000 years, she rushed me, opening the capsule lid.
Normally I would have scolded her, but I was so d to have a chance to go back to Earth that I was now more generous than ever, even though it was just my soul that would be returning.
Okay, Ssosia. See you in 5,000 years.
Bastard.
Even agreeing with you isnt enough to make you happy.
Laughing, I climbed into the contraption. It bothered me a little that the First Spirit also followed me as if that was natural, but I thought it would be funny, so I didnt stop her.
Ill start theunch.
Yeah.
I was looking forward to this moment.
Hey. What are you waiting for?
Hmm
For some reason, Ssosia paused.
If she said something stupid, such as not wanting to let go of her beloved husband, then I wouldve immediately let go of my generosity and teach her a lesson.
Do it already.
It seems to have died out.
Huh?
The mechanism worked properly, but the system intervened, considering this process illegal.
Damn it!
Curses flew out of my mouth.
Her statement made my heart sink down to my heels.
We still need to hurry. The only way for you to return home without a graduation certificate is now blocked, and soon this whole machine may be useless. What will you do?
That was a stupid question.
I had no other choice.
If I couldnt return to Earth, I needed to at least take care of the Snow Woman before it was toote.
Run it.
Okay. Now listen to me carefully. The system knows the truth about this worlds history, and based on that, created the Five Great Disasters. One of the Five Great Disasters, Snow Queen Elsh, was born after Snow King Eshinoff ate the Snow Woman. You must not change the course of this story. You must only falsify the truth recorded in the system by going at that time.
The principle was clear.
I needed to travel to the fake past and make sure that the dragon wouldnt eat the Snow Woman.
You must also always remember that you dont have much time.
Ive been thinking about that. Why?
Because your body is here. If my dad destroys this world or is killed, the course of secondary education will alsoe to an end. At that point, it will no longer matter whether you seeded or not. You will be forcibly returned. Do you understand?
Yes.
Loud and clear.
The moment I got there, I just needed to immediately get rid of the dragon.
After all, without the dragon, the Snow Woman wouldnt be eaten.
You dont understand anything at all! You cant do that no matter what!
What? Why?
Because then the Snow Queen Elsh will disappear. If you kill the Snow King Eshinoff, you will be thrown out due to an error in the system. Thorough checks will then be executed, which will result in changes that will make it difficult for us to repeat the same procedure.
I only get one shot at this, and Im not allowed to kill the dragon. Is that correct?
Thats right. You finally understand.
It was confusing, but it was doable.
If I kidnapped the Snow Woman, then the dragon wouldnt have the opportunity to eat her.
Remember. The story cannot be disrupted except to prevent the dragon from eating the Snow Woman. As far as I remember, due to doubts, the First Hero couldnt kill the Snow King, who merged with the Snow Woman, and received a scar that he couldnt remove as a consequence. All of that needs to be perfectly recreated.
Thats
It was too difficult of a requirement.
The First Hero was incredibly cruel in everything that didnt concern women. If I abducted the Snow Woman, hed simply kill the dragon without any hesitation.
The difficulty level instantly increased by several times.
Then Ill begin theunch.
Isnt there an easier way than this?
No.
What? Damn it!
Have a good trip.
Ssosia pressed the button and started the time machine.
My mind moved to an avatar, traveling to the world of the past, recorded in the system for growing heroes.
Im totally fucked!
But this wasnt the end of my journey.
Ill be back!
I would definitely be back!
Chapter 230 - [13th Round] The Hero’s Fabrication Plan
Chapter 230 - [13th Round] The Heros Fabrication n
Young adventurer, have youe to your senses? You were lying on the side of the road, so I brought you here. I am a travel guide that helps lost travelers!
Instead of Lanuvel, an old man greeted me.
He lied to me with such a shameless expression on his face that I wanted to double-check if I was really lying on the side of the road.
I looked around.
I was in a wooden house. There was almost no furniture inside, and the bed I was lying on was cold and hard.
Ssosias time machine definitely worked.
Though it was strangely simr to the Hero start.
Adventurer, you say
I immediately checked my stats.
? Race: Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: (All around = Level?)
? Skills: Gifted ZZZ, Z, Fabrication Z, Destruction MAX, Annihtion MAX
? Status: , , Dragon Scale
It almost looked like a mosaic.
My race name, Dual-Core Cosmic Human, had been truncated. It seemed that its characteristics had been preserved, but the description had been distorted so much that it became hard to look at.
The Brave job also wasnt recognized. It didnt even activate at all.
Among the skills, Divinity turned into boxes, and in the Status section, Holy Sword and Divine were also that way.
How did this happen?
As the MAX-ss Hero, I went through many difficulties; since I returned to the past, skills that werent yet avable in this era couldnt be identified and were seen as errors.
? An error has been detected.
? A bug has been found.
? Initiating defragmentation process.
System messages appeared. What followed was
? Race: Legendary Angel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Adventurer (Adventure Survival )
? Skills: Gifted ZZZ, Faith Z, Fabrication Z, Destruction MAX, Annihtion MAX
? Status: Magic Sword, Shaman, Dragon Scale
Because of my high Divinity rank, the system mistook me for an angel.
My job changed to Adventurer, as the old man called me, as well, Holy Sword and Divinitypletely disappeared from my Status.
Gifted ZZZs effect immediately applied as well.
? Race: Angel
? Level: 999+
? Specialization: Adventurer (Adventure Survival )
? Skills: Faith S, Intelligence S, Fortitude A, Endurance A, Flight A
? Status: Good
I pretended to be the most ordinary angel.
It was just an illusion, but I was d to be able to fool heroes that could view my stats.
Are you not interested in where you are?
Not really.
Hmm, I see. How strange. All the adventurers whom I had saved before were interested in knowing that The old man nced at the empty bed beside him.
Seemingly adding to the evidence that this old man was involved in professionally abducting adventurers, there were many identical beds here.
Getting up, I got out of bed and went outside. Noisy like Lanuvel, the old man tried to dissuade me, but I was determined, so he quickly gave up.
It was easy to understand where I was.
To my south, there was a snowy mountain in the shape of the letter M.
I was near the Snow Mountain M, which could be seen from anywhere on the Northern Continent. Considering it was to my south, I concluded that I was in the northern part of the Northern Continent.
Not far from here was Ssosias house, where the time machine was located.
It seems that everything turned out well.
I hadnt forgotten my goal.
If I returned to the correct time, then the dragon hadnt eaten the Snow Woman yet.
I was convinced of this when I heard the name Snow King Eshinoff slip through the conversation between Mercenary A and Mercenary B.
That was part of the history recorded in the system.
My goal was to trick the system, making small changes to free the Snow Woman from the closed-loop of the educational program.
I only had one chance.
Therefore, I had to make the best out of it.
I walked around the vige, collecting information, and saw a scene unfamiliar to me on the local square.
We are looking for a healer who is ready to raid the harpysir!
We are looking for a wizard and an archer with high uracy! Were going harpy hunting!
Anyone with over a year of harpy hunting experience will do! As soon as you join, well leave right away!
We wee neers! Well teach you how to hunt harpies for a low price!
The Mobius mercenaries are recruiting. Come and let us discuss the conditions!
I heard people shouting from different directions. They stood either on the fountain or a wooden box and zealously beckoned people.
Recruitment for a squad, recruitment for a guild, recruitment for lovers Huh?
The Mercenary Union carried out this hard work.
If one paid them amission, they would find the right people for you.
This sight makes the difference in times obvious.
The world of Fantasy gradually developed, creating the Mercenary Guild of the present along the way.
I had reviewed the stats of these mercenaries.
? Race: Arch-Human
? Level: 95
? Job: Warrior (Fighting Spirit Physical Strength )
? Skills: Fighting Spirit D, Physical Strength E, Endurance E, Pursuit F, Dark Energy Resistance F
? Status: Good
They were all like newborn chickens.
But I didnt care about their levels and skills.
Their race caught my eyes the most.
Most of those who gathered in the square to findpanions and go hunting together were of the Arch-Human race.
The Arch title was special.
Because it meant that they werent natives but rather came here from another world.
If other races besides humans had the prefix Arch, they were treated as members of royal blood. The mostmon example of that was Arch-Elf.
That aside
It looks like the beginning of a heros journey.
Other than the changing of Adventurer and Hero, everything aligned and converged perfectly.
To find out more, I decided to call my secret friend.
Trainee Teacher?
? nk: There is no Trainee Teacher.
To make sure she would be a teacher without any problems, I decided not to insist on it.
She probably wouldnt be all that excited about my journey between dimensions anyway.
Youre making me feel sad, Drug Hero! How could you forget about me!
Sitting on my head, the First Spirit hit my forehead with her heel.
Addicted Spirit, when did you get here?
When I woke up on the bed, she definitely wasnt there. However, at some point, she appeared, as if out of thin air, on my head.
I was already so used to her presence that I didnt notice when she popped back into existence.
The First Spirit, swinging her legs, replied. My wings can take me wherever my children are. As soon as my memories merged, I left Elfheim, who was busy with the affairs of his race, and immediately flew here.
Wait! You abandoned that pathetic Elf King?
Well, yes. Is there a problem?
If you left him, how will the cowardly elves fight?
Theyll live somehow, just like the elves of the Holy Mon Empire.
Oh
I was only nning on changing history a little, but she had already distorted its course way too much.
Dont worry about it, Drug Hero. The system will cope with such changes. The problem would only arise if I ordered the children to not help out the elves. The elves have already be a race that cannot live without them.
Youre not lying, are you?
Do not suspect the First Spirit, the noblest of my kind in the entire universe. If this were the real past, the distortion would have already begun. Take a woman, for example. The moment she sees you, shed postpone what she would do today due to a change in her state of mind. That could lead to her giving birth to a daughter instead of a son. If that happened, then their lineage would change, thus resulting in the future changing ordingly.
Well your words make sense.
First Spirit spoke of the butterfly effect.
A single p of a butterflys wings could cause a hurricane on the other side of the world.
But this was a fake past.
We were in a part of history recorded by the education system.
Even if this ce were reformed, the present future wouldnt change.
Only the future will change, based on the history recorded in the system. And for stabilization, calibration is carried out.
Take the example of the First Spirit.
A pregnant woman, upon seeing me, possibly would no longer give birth to a daughter but a son due to her state of mind changing.
That was where the system calibration would kick in.
In reality, if one changed the past, the future would change ordingly.
But this world was like a supeputer. It had the additional function of adjusting the past and assimting it to a single, fixed future.
But you still need to beware of murders.
After all, if I killed any person, the generation born from them would disappear. Even calibrating the system wouldnt help there.
I wasnt certain if it would cause problems, but I thought it would be possible to gently touch my targets back or neck and get away with it.
Drug Hero, are you going to find the Snow Woman now?
No.
Huh? But shes the reason you came here, isnt she?
The dragon ate that birdbrain because of my seniors cheerleaders. But theres still the system calibration. Because of the wind from under her long sleeves, her wings might peep out, or on the way home, she might identally encounter a dragon and get kidnapped The point is, theres a high probability that history will repeat itself.
In a bad scenario, she would still be eaten by the dragon.
Oh! I got it! You want to deal with the Snow King Eshinoff! But then the First Hero will have nothing to do
Just sit quietly and watch.
Dragons didnt leave theirir so easily.
There were people who thought that was because dragons were naturallyzy, but that was only a delusion.
Dragons had their own territory.
Sky,nd, sea.
Just as humans drew state borders, dragons had their own dominions.
That was the root of the problem.
If Dragon A left itsir, its neighbors Dragon B and Dragon C might take it as an act of aggression since the fact that it left itsir could be mistaken for its desire to expand its region.
Although if it were strong, then it wouldnt need to keep looking over its shoulders for enemies.
The perfect example of that was the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius.
Drug Hero, do you already know hisirs location? If you dont, Ill order my children to find out.
That wont be necessary. I already heard about it from Mercenary Q.
Boo! I just wanted to be of help, but youve already decided everything yourself. Thats why youre unpopr with the harpies.
Shut up.
I didnt want to remember that shame.
Snow King Eshinoff.
Hisir wasnt far from here.
Those who were called evil dragons didnt look at others, so they were very active. That made it easy to find his territory.
If one left and returned to the same ce every day, that ce would obviously be their home.
After gathering the information I needed in the square, it was time to implement my cunning n!
I quietly left the vige without touching anyones spines. I didnt even spread the wings of the righteous hero. Instead, I went out of the gates like the savage locals.
Lanuvel likes this vige~
How about trusting her? Shes cute.
I agree! Lanuvel is nice anyway.
My blood pressure rose instantly as soon as I heard that.
My right hand twitched. I wanted so badly to grab Lanuvel by the neck, who always pretended to be cute.
Haha! Then its decided. Lets go to that vige! I look forward to making delightful acquaintances! A young guy passionately shouted as he followed Lanuvel, who was swaying her hips from side to side.
What? Happy acquaintances?
That definitely wont happen.
Are you talking to me?
Yes. You.
I, the MAX-ss Hero, identally ran into my seniors group.
Chapter 231 - [13th Round] Iceeee~?!
Chapter 231 - [13th Round] Iceeee~?!
The members of the First Heros squad decided to enter the vige where the Snow Woman lived.
I saw many familiar faces.
Lanuvel, who was always pretending to be cute, Sword King Alex, Mermaid Princess Aqua, Sword Princess, Sage, Princess of Darkness, Pdin Tomato, Ice Princess, Knight of Darkness
Hispanions could be found on the Central, Western, and Northern continents of Fantasy. That meant they hadnt been to the East and South yet.
A support group was also with them.
I took a closer look at them, not because they were beautiful but because most of them were future members of the teaching staff who kidnapped me into this wild world and then bullied me, not allowing me to graduate normally.
In order to properly dislocate their spinester, I had to thoroughly embed their faces in my mind.
So youre an angel.
My senior mistook me for an angel, having checked my stats.
Angel?
This man is an angel?!
He looks like a demon
Hes nothing like the angels I know
The others expressed their opinions regarding my predecessors statement.
They daredpare the Righteous Hero to those hens, but I was in such a troublesome situation right now that I had to endure such humiliations.
If only I could, I wouldve already lined them all in a row and yed around with their spines one by one.
Anyway, as a fair angel, I want to share my wisdom with those who believe in my kinds righteousness. The more women gather around you due to your poprity with them, the unhappier youll be. If you want to be happy, you have to marry this girl pretending to be nice.
I pointed to Lanuvel.
I fought fire with fire.
If the First Hero and Lanuvel married each other, they would bnce each other out. As a result, this world would definitely be calmer. It was just science.
Its too early for me to get married!
Ha-ha Marriage isnt in my mind yet either, Master Angel.
They both refused my matchmaking.
I tried, but this universe seemed destined to be deprived of peace for a long time.
You have an incredible spirit for a friend. My senior said, changing the topic of conversation.
His gaze was fixed on the First Spirit, who was sitting on my head.
After listening to his praise, she immediately replied. Im never going to join you and your party anyway, so you should give up, fool.
What?
Just remember my words. The day wille when youll finally understand the noblest spirits words.
Oh, good.
While the First Spirit dealt with the First Hero, I memorized the teachers faces from the support group and looked at thepanions.
There was bound to be dissatisfaction in any team.
When I told my senior and Lanuvel to get married, some of the expressions of thepanions and support group immediately changed.
If I talked to them, I would be able to get the information I needed.
But among them was Sage
Oh Why is that spirit naked Kh?!
His nose started bleeding immediately.
If he could ovee that curse, then realization woulde to him, and he would be reincarnated with the Enlightened job. However, he was still far from achieving that.
Hey. Youve seen me naked several times, so why are you ashamed?
Thats because I dont think pervertedly about you, Aqua.
Does that mean Im unattractive as a woman?
No. Its the opposite.
Hmph! Im over it. If youre not attracted to me, just say so.
You misunderstand my sincerity Kh?
Aqua, the Mermaid Princess, twisted napkins and inserted them into Sages nostrils to stop the blood from streaming down.
With his lean physique shaking due to unnecessary blood loss, Sage wasnt able to resist Aquas radical measures of assistance. Although even if he could, he probably wouldnt.
He now had an extremely stupid expression on his face, so I crossed him off the list.
My choice fell on Saintess C.
The top three beauties of the Northern Continent were the Sword Princess, the Ice Princess, and Saintess C. However, if I had to choose between them, then Saintcess C was definitely the best choice, not because she fit my personal preference but because the Sword Princess was too rude, and the Ice Princess avoided people.
For those reasons, Saintess C was my best option.
At the moment, the rare beauty didnt look that delighted.
I warned you.
I moved over to let their party pass. There was no need to rush, after all.
It would take their party leader some time to get to know the Snow Woman and chase after her, so I was certain he wouldnt be leaving this vige anytime soon.
My priority right now was the dragon.
***
Snow King Eshinoff.
The Ice Dragon, renowned for its cruelty.
Hisir was in the center of a dense frozen forest surrounded by the harpies dwellings.
As I walked into his territory, my soul remained calm.
Save me!
Someone help!
Harpies Aaaahhh!
Free me!
My eyes would sometimes meet the gaze of those begging for help, but I ignored them all and focused on reaching my destination.
As the Righteous Hero, of course, I wanted to save those caught by the harpies, but I couldnt change the course of history. I moved forward with tears in my eyes!
Thanks to their sacrifice, I was able to save time!
Iceeeee?
The dragonsir had a natural fortification made of frozen trees. Behind them was a white dragon, whichzily opened his eyes as soon as he sensed my presence.
He looked at me. And I looked back at him.
? Race: Ice Dragon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Snow King (Snowy Land Invincibility )
? Skills: Freeze Z, Snowfall Z, Dragon Scale Z, Flying Z, Pration Z
? Status: Withering, Interest
Basically, his stats were simr to the Snow Queen Elsh. The only difference is that he had the Dragon Scale skill.
His body was huge, probably about three times the size of the sturdy Green Cake.
Compared to the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, though He was probably about the size of his paw.
How about a serious conversation?
Iceeeee.
The dragon slowly rose from the ground.
But I didnt calmly observe this. I intended to attack from the beginning but failed because of his keen instinct.
I leave him to you, Captain Fantasy!
BOOM!
Summoned in the air, the huge babynded with his booty right on the lizards back.
Iceeee?!
The dragon howled, opening his jaws.
Captain Fantasy lost to the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion due to the difference in weight ss, but he was superior to other dragons.
Not only could they not defeat him, but he was stronger than them.
Ooooh Ah.
He rejoiced, treating the Snow King like a childrens merry-go-round.
Even with his hard and cold scales, he couldnt do anything against the baby and his soft, stic skin.
Unable to bear Captain Fantasys weight, the Eshinoff soon fell and sprawled on the ground.
Iceeee
The time to talk had finallye.
The evil dragon, who would soon be known as part of the Five Great Disasters, couldnt do anything, but not because he was weak.
Captain Fantasy was just too powerful.
But if he surrendered so easily, then his glory as an evil dragon would be at risk of being forgotten. Snow King Eshinoffs eyes narrowed.
Fshhshhh
The dragons torso was soon engulfed by light and instantly shrunk.
Dragonian.
Their kind usually only assumed thatbat form to fight enemies that were the size of smidgespared to their original bodies.
But the reason was quite the opposite this time around. He most likely just wanted to be smaller to at least damage Captain Fantasy a little.
But he had already experienced fighting the cowardly Ssosia. Hence, for him, this attempt wasughable.
Instantly grabbing the dragonkin, he began waving him in different directions, like a toy airne.
He didnt put him in his mouth or licked him, making it evident that he liked the dragonian less than Ssosia.
Oh, you monster! L-let me go!
Wow!
W-wait! Stop Aaaahh!
Captain Fantasy got bored and threw him to the ground.
BAM!
The impact formed arge crater, and in its center was the dragonian, lying unconscious No, he had a frightened expression on his face, seemingly unable to understand what just happened.
You seem to be ready to talk now.
Ahem! Are you an adventurer too?
No. I am a hero.
Hero?
The bloodied dragonian couldnt understand anything.
I didnt think he was lying. He didnt know the concept of Hero yet.
It was still non-existent in this era, after all.
Regardless
Starting today, you are to be known as the Snow Queen Elsh.
In what sense?
If people were told to change their name immediately, nine out of ten people would be wearing the same look as the dragonian.
Dragons didnt have a specific gender.
But depending on preferences and personality, they could choose to be a male or a female.
Some changed their genders every now and then, while somemitted to one gender for the entirety of their lives. The Supreme Dragon of Oblivion was a typical example of thetter.
In the literal sense. Moreover, from now on, you are to be the queen of the harpies.
Why should I do such nonsense Kh-ah?!
You know I have very skillful hands.
I wasnt nning on leaving everything to Captain Fantasy while I sat back and did nothing.
When I saw Lanuvel, my hands started itching.
What have you done with my body
Inadvertently moving, the dragonian straightened like an arrow. His mouth opened in a silent scream, unable to describe what he was feeling.
Today, you will be reborn as a girl, but dont worry. Ive already received your payment for this.
After stic surgery, the Snow King will be the Snow Queen.
It wasnt as difficult as it sounded.
***
I, the Righteous Hero, finished things in two days.
That included the sex change of the evil dragon!
I didnt give him No, her. I didnt give her the reasons behind my actions since it was impossible how the Snow Queen would behave towards what would happen in the future.
And I didnt forbid her to go outside.
Due to back pain, she wouldnt be able to be active anyway. There was no need to tell her about the Snow Woman andplicate things.
Drug Hero, never forget that Im on your side.
What the hell are you talking about?
During those two days, the First Spirit was suspiciously quiet. Did she finally realize how lenient I was to her?
Yes! I did! I finally noticed how kind you are to me, Drug Hero! So dont make fun of me.
One finger is enough for you.
I think so too, kind Drug Hero!
Oh
I returned to the vige and decided to check what the First Hero was doing.
But
Miss Snow Woman. The weathers nice today, isnt it?
Most people do not like snowfall because it blocks traffic on the roads
I like white snow. It reminds me of you. If you find any difficulties or need any help, you can contact me at any time. Dont be shy.
Id be too embarrassed
My senior was pestering the Snow Woman.
He was definitely a womanizer.
It would be nice if he didnt introduce himself as a hero everywhere. He was bringing disgrace to our title.
Anyway, I had better things to do today than watch them.
Having made sure that the Snow Woman hadnt yet suffered from the First Heros treacherous hands, who was haunted by misfortune, I went to a hotel with a bar pointed out by the Wind Spirit King that lived in my armpit.
So this is the ce
Breaking through the blizzard, I arrived at my destination and boldly opened the door.
Due to the firece and the number of people cooped up inside, the interior was warm.
All of the men inside the bar on the first floor had their gazes focused on one girl.
Saintess C.
But she wasnt a saintess yet in this era. The job didnt exist yet in the first ce.
She illuminated this unkempt bar with her beauty, which was why no one dared approach her. Rather, they busied themselves by holding each other back and peeking nces at her.
As if mocking them, I went up and spoke to her.
I apologize, but Im a suspicious man who knows that you have a purple mole on your right buttock.
Hahaha!
Unlike the First Heros unsessful attempts, our conversation went pretty smoothly.
Chapter 232 - [13th Round] Snowball
Chapter 232 - [13th Round] Snowball
If you want to know how a stranger knows about your hidden mole, then youll have to be patient
Wait! How can I just ignore this?!
Lets have a drink first. We cant talk about this sober.
Why not? What are you speaking about
Lets have a drink.
Okay Fine.
Saintess C was forced to agree.
The men who hung their ears to listen to our conversation looked at me like I was the greatest being to ever exist.
Bartender, do you have a 20-year-old ck Dragon?
The ck Dragon was a high-grade fruity vodka that could put one out of action pretty quickly. At first, it would seem as fresh as mineral water, but it could instantly get anyone drunk.
Usually, it was poured for warriors about to go to war. In small quantities, of course.
Or
It was ordered when one wanted to find a heating pad for the night.
But this was such a well-known alcoholic drink that it was mostly the daughters of aristocrats and princesses who were hiding their identities that fell for it. If they are tricked by the other party, then they just pretended that they were consensual.
In other words, this fruity vodka was like Valentines Day chocte.
? Astonishment: Kang Han Soo, you know a lot about alcohol too. So thats why many of my partners offered me that vodka. But dont think about anything strange! I have good alcohol tolerance! I always held my ground until the end and then cleaned up after everyone.
Trainee Teacher, you have a beautiful liver!
Im sorry, but we dont have a ck Dragon. I have been working as a bartender for a long time, but I can confidently say that this is the first time Ive heard of such a name.
Dont get me wrong. The high status that you suspect I have is true, but its not some valuable and expensive alcohol.
Ah! Okay.
It seemed that the ck Dragon fruit vodka hadnt been invented in this era yet.
I remembered it could be easily found in any bar on any continent, so much so that it was even called the peoples vodka.
There was nothing I could do about it, so I began to think about what drink to order instead
An angel is just a race, not a symbol of high status. Engage in self-glorification in moderation, Mr. Suspicious Adventurer. Saintess Cughed, emphasizing the word Adventurer.
As soon as any noble emperor lifts his heavy butt and embarks on a journey, he bes one of the adventurers. What matters is what job I have now. I wish you can see it.
If were talking about your skills, then I checked it two days ago already Huh?
Saintess Cs eyes widened in surprise.
I had the same reaction.
Can you see my stats?
Not the Chosen Hero, but Saintess C?
You were just an adventurer! What did you do in those two days?! How did you get such an absurd job?!
It seems you really can see it, I replied with a smile.
Looking at the window behind the bartender, I ordered the strongest alcohol.
Naturally, Saintess C was surprised by what she saw.
My stats had changed, after all.
? Race: Legendary Angel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Dragon King (Dragons Level )
? Condition: Gifted ZZZ, Faith Z, Fabrication Z, Intimidation MAX, Taming MAX
? Condition: Magic Sword, Shaman, Dragon Scale
I became the Dragon King.
After taking over the body and soul of the Snow King Eshinoff, I was honored with his throne.
This was also unusual for me. I had to put up with the Hero job, so I didnt know that I could take over someone elses job.
Its effect was that whenever I fought against dragons, my level would go up.
Compared to its majestic name, its abilities werent as impressive.
I was still powerful without it.
And in general, there was little sense in it.
Why would a powerful being, capable of overpowering even the Dragon King, need a boost to fight ordinary dragons?
This job was useless.
? Objection: Think broader, Cadet Kang Han Soo. You dont have to fight them in singlebat The Dragon King can calm the dragons down if they band together and revolt against him!
Ah! Youre so smart, Trainee Teacher!
Yes. I didnt have to fight them one by one.
If I wanted to massacre dragons, there was no better job than the Dragon King!
? Confusion: I didnt mean it
Regardless, I was now the Dragon King. It was a bit strange that I got it despite not being a dragon, though.
How can you be the Dragon King if you are an angel?
What makes you think Ill answer that so easily?
Dont make me sad.
Youre impudently asking me to tell you about something that should be normally ssified. How else should I react? Am I really the one in the wrong here?
Oh Im sorry. I spoke without thinking because of my surprise. Excuse my immaturity.
Having listened to the logical objection of the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, Saintess C bowed her head and apologized.
I answered with the smile of a Righteous Hero.
Forgive me as well. I behaved rudely in the presence of such a beauty. I me it on theck of alcohol in my system.
You speak well.
Thank you, although I know youre just ttering me. A ss?
Yes, please.
Starting with one ss, we continued our conversation.
Aside from my Detoxification skill, the effect of alcohol was also softened by my Fortitude skill.
But if not to get drunk, why drink at all?
Unless the situation was critical, then I deactivated those skills for a while.
Personally, even without the skills, I still had a good alcohol tolerance.
It was higher than average, but I still couldntpete against Lanuvel.
And if I did get drunk
W-wait! Your hand
I can feel it every time I look at your back, but you have a beautiful spine.
My hands began to allow themselves more and more freedom.
You can hardly be used of sexual harassment because you are interested in something so strange You are a really unusual person.
Same as you.
What do you mean? Im perfectly normal.
She would have answered differently if she was drunk, but Saintess C was still holding her own, answering confidently.
I just wasted my money on booze.
Two days ago You were so annoyed when I suggested that some guy marry a nice girl from your party. Are you jealous because you like him?
You are deeply mistaken! Its quite the opposite. I dont understand why an outsider is showing an interest in this, but I can confidently say that there is nothing between that man and me.
She looked serious.
I didnt think she was jealous. I only provoked her to make her talk.
Why was I so interested?
That question served as a clue.
On the contrary does that mean you like that lovely girl? Whats that called again
No! You got it all wrong! How could you even think about it that way?!
You said its quite the opposite. If you dont like men, then you like women.
Isnt there an option that I dont like neither?!
Great, the alcohol had already hit her head.
The increased pressure Saintess C was feeling didnt drop.
She began to open up to me, an outsider, about theints umting within her.
Only those ranked first are recognized in this world.
I agree.
We have a slight difference in skills. Sometimes I win. Sometimes he wins. But because of thepetition and the prize at stake, the difference between us began to widen.
The first ce would always receive the most valuable prize. 2nd cers also gained a prize, but it would never be the best.
Until then, everything was fair.
However, the one who received the prize for 1st ce would enjoy a significant increase in strength. Those who came in second would always grow less.
As a result, if theypeted again, the results would remain the same. The rewards theyd get from it would only widen the gap between them.
What if that was repeated multiple times?
Now, Im not even his rival anymore, but just one of the girls heid his eyes on.
Yes, he he became a snowball.
Snowball?
Thats what they call it in my homnd.
The more one rolled it, the bigger it became.
The First Hero quickly created a huge snowball and crushed Saintess C, causing her growth tog behind.
At that point, she could no longer expect to win again.
Because the snowball was calcted usingpound interest.
1st ce would always remain at the top.
Thanks to the conversation with Saintess C, I was able to obtain interesting information.
They werent yet a Heros Party. At the moment, they were just an elite squad of the best adventurers.
They were all candidates to be heroes.
But there was only one Real Hero, and the strongest candidate for that position was my senior, who took 1st ce in all exams.
The more I think about it, the angrier I feel! Bartender! Pour one more ss for me! Give me your strongest alcohol! Drunk, she began to order more drinks.
I didnt even offer her anything. She drank voluntarily.
Using this opportunity, I tried to get more intel from her.
Do you know about the teaching staff?
Teaching staff?
Those who abducted you and transported you to here, forcing you to learn all sorts of nonsense.
Fantasy?
Hmm
She probably didnt understand what I meant by teaching staff due to the difference in terms, but how could I ask again about Fantasy?
I skipped this topic for now. There was no time to waste, as she was bing even more intoxicated by the second.
At this point, she had already rxed her guard and was in a defenseless state.
This was the moment I had been waiting for. I needed to ask everything that interested me.
Who in your group is not an adventurer?
There are many of those.
That was too vague.
Who taught you?
I dont have a teacher since I was already superior to the rest of thepetition at home. But there is a person who helped us adapt to life in this world.
Well, who is it?
The lovely girl you called out two days ago.
Lanuvel again?
Shes an adventurer?
Shes our senior. She came to this world before us.
Did she introduce herself like that?
Yes, but why are you asking? Oh! Do you like lovely girls like Lanuvel Kya?!
Sorry. My hand slipped.
Some things shouldnt be said!
How could she imagine something like that?!
Saintess C, blushing, turned away.
Arent you exploring too much with your hands? Do it moderately, or Ill get angry.
So youre okay with it?
Take it as you will Hmph! Enough about that. Pour me a drink with your naughty hands.
Saintess C handed me her empty ss.
Her words about my disobedient hands offended me, but I was a hero, so I decided to restrain myself.
If I waited, my chance would definitelye.
Where was I? No, I dont even understand why Im telling you all this
BAM!
Saintess C was trembling since she was drunk, so at one moment, she lost her bnce and hit her forehead straight on the table, immediately knocking her out.
Oh
The chance came faster than I thought.
I grabbed Saintess C by the waist.
I then looked at the bartender, who was cleaning the ss. His eyes told me he understood what I needed.
I turned to him.
I dont have to say it, do I?
The Righteous Hero practiced justice even at this moment!
How could I leave a lovelydy in a bar full of hungry wolves ready to pounce on her?
I had to help her.
Yes. Ill provide you with a bedroom surrounded by thick, soundproofed walls so she can rest in peace. Unfortunately, it only has one bed.
Dont worry. I wont sleep anyway.
I still didnt understand why the teaching staff couldnt appreciate me, a fair and ardent hero, and my abilities.
Chapter 233 - [13th Round] How to Catch a Tiger
Chapter 233 - [13th Round] How to Catch a Tiger
The morning hade.
With the help of a ring of luck [condom] given to me by the Health Teacher, I helped Saintess C bring down her temperature rising due to her hangover.
I, the MAX-ss Hero, despite being busy saving the world, still took care of the sick. I hoped she knew how honored she should feel
You are so shameless that I have nothing to say Woken up, Saintess Cined.
Are you alright?
I am not alright at all.
Well, at least you dont seem to have a hangover.
Can you stop changing the subject?! You got me drunk in that bar, and although its my own fault for falling asleep, I think its wrong for you to act like youve done nothing to an innocent girl!
But I didnt kill you.
What?
I still think its better than being picked up on the street by some ve trader who would sell youter at the ck Market, putting a ves mark on your ass with a hot iron. Your body and skin are perfectly unharmed.
You should be grateful that you were able to meet the morning in good health.
It seemed that this woman was too frivolous about this world. It was more profitable for a ve trader to sell a skilled male warrior, but that didnt mean that women were safe. Her outstanding beauty would be in demand.
How could I ignore such a rude remark from this shameless woman? She made a scandal over such a trifling matter when I took it upon myself to guard her all night.
Your example is too dark.
People should keep in mind the worst possible scenarios.
I always said those words to others, but I never thought Id hear others say them to me. Fine. Thank you for helping me meet this morning in good health, but dont expect any reward. I still dont understand why youre forcing me to thank you. She sounded cold.
Getting out of bed and picking up her clothes from the floor, she began to get dressed.
I didnt do anything. She took it all off herself, and my hands only helped a little.
Leaving already?
If I dont return soon, mypanions will start to worry.
Not your rivals?
You keep saying words that hurt my pride, so Ill be honest with you. I liked you, so I pretended to fall asleep. Stop thinking that you saved me yesterday. She remained serious.
I shrugged yfully.
I already knew that.
Saintess Cs Status section in her stats didnt state Asleep, after all. That made it obvious that she was just pretending.
But she didnt know that I could see her stats. Hence, she believed she could fool me.
Still going to leave?
Yes. If I stay with you longer, I might be as weird as you. Dont tell anyone aboutst night! If you do, Ill really get pissed off.
I thought Saintess C was hiding her liberated lifestyle because of her position, but it seemed she was already like that since the beginning.
I wont tell anyone. Theres nothing about it worth bragging anyway.
Why do you insist on hurting my pride until the very end? Youre so convincing that it makes me angry, too. Yes. Youre right. Its not something worth being proud of, but a lot of people in this world think too much about such an act. There was no need to worry about this back home.
Back home?
Oh! Youve untied my tongue again, Mr. Suspicious Angel. May the protection of God be with you.
Having cursed me, Saintess C departed.
But her gait was far from graceful.
I suppressed myugh and offered to help her.
Need a hand?
Isnt that too much to ask for? Not that I dont like it A-anyway! Ill only ept your help until we reach the bottom of the stairs. Only until we reach the bottom of the stairs!
I grabbed her by the butt, helping her down.
I immediately heard a groan.
Lustful Saintess, I understand the pain you are experiencing right now, The First Spirit said.
Saintess C blushed, quietly muttering to herself.
Beast
Sheined even though I did her well; regardless I still helped Saintess C go down to the first floor.
With wobbly strides, she hurried away without looking back as if running away from someone.
So I saw off Saintess C.
Being a hero is a really heavy job.
My neck and shoulders ached because of the stress.
I wanted to lie on the bed and do nothing all day, but I needed to learn more about spatial transference from today.
I switched to the secondary education because of my son. I was told that if I graduated, I would be allowed to pull out whoever I wanted from the system.
The condition was to graduate.
They didnt tell me I couldnt leave the world of Fantasy.
I was going to rest on Earth while waiting for the other nine heroes to join forces and deal with the Five Great Disasters and the Demon Lord.
? Query: But wouldnt it be better if you help them and graduate faster?
Thats such a great question, Trainee Teacher!
It wasnt that I didnt think about it, but it seemed to me that the faculty wouldnt let me graduate just like that.
Just like what they did in the elementary education course, they would find something toin about.
So I would just leave my desk.
If I werent there, then there would be nothing toin about.
? Confusion: A student being absent from ss will be a problem
Dont worry about it, Trainee Teacher!
I wouldplete my task.
There were now ten heroes in total.
If I defeated one of the Five Great Disasters, the remaining nine heroes would be forced to deal with the others and the Demon Lord.
Out on the street, I decided to go to the Snow Woman.
Because to activate the magic of spatial transfer, the feathers from her wings were needed.
It wasnt difficult to find her.
Haha! Snow Woman, where are you in such a hurry?
Because wherever she went, my senior followed her.
I could even praise him for such persistence.
Although his perseverance only harmed the victim.
Im following the orders of the wizard. Im busy today, so please dont bother me.
Lets go together. Ill help you.
That wont be necessary. I can handle it myself.
He didnt give up and continued to follow her instead.
The Snow Woman felt ufortable about it, and his cheerleaders watching them had expressions so cold they looked like assassins.
I knew what would happen next.
The cheerleaders would spread rumors that the Snow Woman was a monster, which would cause a scandal. She would then run away from the vige, and the dragon would eat her.
I had two choices at this moment:
1) Deal with everything before the scandal could break out.
2) Help after everything had happened.
The result would be the same. The only difference was the time of intervention.
If I now saved the Snow Woman from my seniors treacherous hands, I would look like the same lustful male that the First Hero was in her perspective.
On the other hand, if I waited until she was in trouble before saving her, I would get her favor.
The better choice was so obvious I didnt even have to think about it.
Hey, clinger.
I didnt like sitting around and cowardly waiting for her to be in trouble.
But even when I called out to him, he just walked past me.
I hurriedly put my foot in front of him.
Hey, Im talking to you.
Arent you the angel I met at the entrance of this vige? What business do you have with me this time?
He didnt trip over my leg, but he stopped chasing the Snow Woman.
He looked displeased by the fact that I prevented him from continuing his business.
Look back.
Back?
Hearing my words, Senior turned around and found his support group peering out of a nearby alley.
As soon as they realized he had noticed them, they went out in the open and waved their hands in greeting as if nothing happened.
As if they, too, had just seen him.
I dont understand why you told me to look back.
Do you really not understand?
Did nothing really pop into his head when he looked at those stalkers?
I really dont understand. If thats all you need from me, then Ill be on my way.
He quickly caught up with the Snow Woman, who had already covered a decent distance. He began to bother her again.
Wrinkles appeared on my forehead as soon as I saw that. I decided to check my seniors status.
? Race: Chaos Man
? Level: 999+
? Job: Mercenary (Wealth Survival )
? Skills: Chaos ZZ, Destruction ZZ, Oblivion ZZ, Gifted Z, Immortality Z
? Status: Irritated, Magic Sword, Magic Beast, Horse Armor
The rank of his skills was enough for him to defeat the Snow King Eshinoff.
Damn
I wanted to fight with the First Heros past self, but I wasnt certain how that would affect the course of history, so I abandoned this idea.
It was impossible to physically force him to leave the Snow Woman alone. We needed toe up with a different method.
***
Perhaps it was due to system calibration?
Despite my intervention, the course of history hadnt changed.
Due to the dastardly rumors that my seniors cheerleaders spread, everyone learned that the Snow Woman was actually a harpy, forcing her to flee from the vige.
Not everything remained the same, however.
Thanks to the measures taken, the Snow King Eshinoff didnt eat her, allowing her to safely reach the wizards refuge.
My predecessor, of course, followed her.
Ah! Sir Wizard, theres trouble! The vigers learned that I was a harpy. What should I do now? Sobbing, the Snow Woman burst into the wizards hideout and immediately asked for a solution.
With fatherly love on his face, he stroked her head then pointed to me, who hade here before her.
Dont worry about it too much. Say hello. From now on, he will keep an eye on you. This gentleman has not only deep pockets but also a heart.
Oh
The Snow Woman, her eye reddened since she had been crying for a while now, looked at me in confusion.
To calm her down, I showed her my Righteous Heros smile.
Hi, Miss Snow Woman. I am the MAX-ss Hero, and Im interested in your feathers ability to be catalysts for spatial transference magic.
They said that if one wanted to catch a tiger, they would need to go into itsir.
I got the legal title to her.
Miss Snow Woman! Dont run away and listen to me! You are not an evil monster but ady who deserves to be loved Oh! You! The uninvited guest shouted as he entered the wizards hideout. He pointed at me with his finger.
That ill-mannered man was called the First Hero.
A savage who, by force, became a hero.
Miss Snow Woman, dont listen to him. You cant ignore or deny your real identity. You are definitely a monster. And I received the rights to your possession from this noble wizard.
Ah
The Snow Woman continued to stare at me in confusion.
Smiling, I looked at my drooping senior and raised a question.
Do you need something from my monster? If not, leave the premises.
You!
Veins popped out of the First Heros forehead as he showed his true colors.
Chapter 234 - [13th Round] A Trivial Reason
Chapter 234 - [13th Round] A Trivial Reason
? Humiliation: I didnt know it would be so embarrassing to look at myself in the past from the perspective of a third party I was even worse than I imagined
Hmm? So youre still here, my angry senior.
? Irritation: I lose my cool every time I involve myself with you. Im not mad. I am now a person so rational that I no longer give in to outbursts of emotions.
Does that seem to be the case?
? Warning: Stop questioning me like that.
I was convinced that he was incredibly strong in the past, but I wasnt weak either and based on skills alone, I had the advantage.
Level?
It was hard to check the level of anyone whod gone beyond level 999, but I was confident that mine was higher.
The effect of my race, Dual-Core Cosmic Human, exceeded the heroes 500% experience points perk since I could absorb all the experience points of the opponent I defeated.
My senior was way too cheeky.
He spent his whole day doing useless business.
Meanwhile, I had already tamed a dragon, enthralled Saintess C, and had gone to the wizard that raised Snow Woman, making a deal with him.
I exerted incredible efficiency!
I had 64 years of experience, after all!
Hey, why are you looking at me so fiercely? Through a fair deal, I bought the rights to raise this mutant harpy.
Shes not an object that you can just buy or sell!
Why not?
What?
Im asking why I cant do that to a harpy.
Why are you looking for a reason? Isnt it only natural?
The senior from the past pulled on his disingenuous mask.
Do you know how many ves live in this vige permanently?
What?
Answer me. Do you know?
Why are you asking me that?
If you dont, then listen to me carefully. There are 43 ves in this vige. And were in the northern part of the Northern Continent, an extremely cold ce in this world. Agriculture is difficult, even near impossible, because of the ground freezing over, and due to the heavy snowstorms, traders do note here often. This small vige exists only because a feudal lord decided to develop a mine nearby, which is why he bought ves and forced them to live here.
He didnt say anything.
Youre not happy that Im in the business of buying and selling monsters, so you want to save the harpy. Does that mean you think monsters are more important than humans?
I didnt know.
Why didnt you know?
He couldnt answer.
This was the third day he appeared.
And all this time, he kept chasing the Snow Woman. He never peered into the faces of the smiling inhabitants, behind whichy sadness.
Meanwhile, in the 1st round, I looked through everyone. Walking around the entire vige, I scanned the asses of all the vigers using the Xray Vision skill to check for the presence of ve marks.
? Fright: You checked their asses? All of them? Regardless of gender and age?
I could already deduce what my resentful senior was thinking.
But this was a habit from the 1st round.
On Earth, it wasmon for people to get tattoos, but tattoos werent given to this worlds inhabitants unless there was a reason.
Affiliation, status, rank, position, education received, upation, origin
It was like an identity card.
But from the 2nd round, I becamezy, so I stopped developing that skill. I already had peoples personal data in my head, making it easy for me to discern who was who without looking at their tags.
But then I fell for Thief Es trick! That event made me get this skill again. Afterward, I really had nowhere to use it until now.
We were now in the past.
Hence, I went ahead and checked everything.
Do you still have something to say?
If not, then get out. Let me leave you with a serious warning. Save the people first before taking care of monsters, you damn traitor to humanity.
Due to the words of his righteous junior, his conscience began to devour him, and he stepped back!
? Justification: I admit I was an idiot in the past, but I dont think I should be called a traitor to humanity. Everyone going through their youth would find a girl they were in love with so much that theyd forget about everything.
Not really. I didnt have that.
? Belief: Think hard. Surely, in the 1st round, when you were still a rookie, you were as pathetic as I was, running after every girl!
There was no such event, resentful senior.
It was true that there was a time when I relied on Lanuvel, but in those ten years, there wasnt a day when I didnt think about my homnd and my mothers tennis racket.
Survival and my return were more important than women!
And he shouldnt lump everyone into one category. I didnt like that.
No! Shes not a monster! Shes a person like we are, and shes very important to me! Youre wrong if you think I dont care about humanity. Its just that Im not God. I cant save everyone, but I can save those who are dear to me. And I will save Miss Snow Woman from your treacherous hands! The First Hero shouted, holding his ground.
? Satisfaction: Well said, past me! It is impossible to save everyone. Isnt it enough to rank all your followers in order of importance and treat them ordingly?
Watching you clear your own past image is disgusting.
This wild world defied all logic. I got the beautiful Snow Woman in a fair deal, and it wasnt illegal on any Continent of Fantasy to raise monsters as pets. Yet this senior of mine was behaving so atrociously!
All people look different, just like how her hands arent the same as ours. Looking at her beautiful personality, I realized that she is human, and you, looking at her appearance, treat her as a monster. You leave me no choice. I will have to implement my justice by force.
It seemed that he had chosen to use violence.
He summoned the Magic Sword, which was reflected in his status. I knew this weapon well.
Holy Sword B!
? Confusion: Who will understand you if you use such names?
It makes sense to me, and thats all that matters.
A special feature of Holy Sword B was that its pommel was heart-shaped, and it strengthened the wielders skills.
I knew well because I used it
It was much more dangerous than the Holy Sword A, which had automatic functions.
Its not good to persuade others by force, savage.
There were inevitable situations where my sword slipped off my hands, but I didnt force those who were weaker than me.
Raise your weapon.
I refuse.
If I fought him, the course of history would bepletely distorted.
I tamed the Snow Queen Elsh, one of the Five Great Disasters, and managed to get the Snow Woman. I couldnt ruin everything now.
I dont want rumors to spread that I attacked an unarmed civilian.
Thats none of my business.
Refusing to fight means that you admit defeat. Free Miss Snow Woman. Shes not your property. If you refuse, I will take her away by force.
He was determined to take her away from me.
I wanted to hit his sperm-filled head, but I knew I shouldnt fight him.
I needed to somehow convince him with words.
Hey savage, isnt her opinion more important than anything else?
Ha! Who in this world will follow someone like you
You talk too much. So is it important or not?
It is.
Then shut up. Ill ask her about it.
I turned to the Snow Woman.
Would you prefer to go with the man who pestered you ceaselessly and became the reason why your identity as a harpy was revealed, causing you to be kicked out of the vige, or would you like to go with me, whom the noble wizard that raised you trusted your life with?
You.
The First Heros expression darkened when he heard her answer. Denying the reality, he began to shout rudely.
Thats not fair! The way you worded it made you sound like the better option! Let me do the talking this time. Miss Snow Woman, are you better off with me, with whom you have umted many good memories in the past three days, or are you better off with this nasty ver youve met today for the first time in your life?
This nasty gentleman sounds like the better option for me, the Snow Woman answered confidently, resting her head on my chest.
I wanted her to remove her head as soon as possible, but it was better to stand and endure it in this situation.
There was no end to my patience!
Miss Snow Woman, you are being deceived.
? Disimer: Enough! Stop it! Isnt it time to give up? Past me, please dont make me feel any worse!
And I thought the senior was a cold-blooded person.
He seemed to have felt wounded due to his past self.
I will definitely save you.
But his desperate cries didnt reach his younger self.
However, that didnt concern me.
I hugged the Snow Woman with my right hand, and with the index finger of my left hand, I lifted her chin.
Mmm
I didnt usually kiss monsters, but on Earth, I had seen zoo keepers kiss dolphins or seals several times for visitors.
Because of work, I did this with a mermaid several times.
This time was no different, except instead of a fish, I was kissing a bird. Hence, it was excused.
The First Hero grew speechless and soon unsummoned Holy Sword B.
He seemed to have lost the will to fight.
He really seemed to have seen this mutant as human, which caused the expression on his face.
Agh!
Weeping bitter tears, he ran away without looking back.
My final victory.
The power of words defeated violence. This battle would be remembered for a long time.
Drug Hero, do you think you should let him go like that? The First Spirit asked anxiously after silently watching the scene unfold like an audience in a movie theater.
Who knew? Even if everything werent alright with him, everything would be alright with the world.
? Excitement: Hopefully, hes not very shaken. The First Hero has the power to change the course of history, after all.
Trainee Teacher, if I were worried about that, I wouldnt have started this. And even if something goes wrong, this is a fictional world.
Our reality was safe.
Even if events were distorted here, the system would correct everything.
Isnt that so, senior?
Hmm? resentful senior?
No matter how long I waited, no one answered.
Was he already gone?
? Conclusion: Due to the long-term failures of the education system, the dimension of Fantasy is bing weaker every day. Hence, I put off the decisive battle until I was sure of my victory but Ive now changed my mind. We need to destroy the Fantasy World as soon as possible. I want topletely erase the existence of the educational institution in which my shameful personal file is kept from this world!
The First Hero made a deration that made him sound like he was the final boss.
All for a trivial reason.
Chapter 235 - [13th Round] War and Obliteration
Chapter 235 - [13th Round] War and Obliteration
So impatient
Huh? Im sorry. Not a day has passed since we met, and Im already being so impatient Oh! This is my first time, so I dont know what to do, and I feel strange S-sorry. Ill try not to be a burden to you, the Snow Woman mumbled, interpreting my words in her own way.
If I were to exin everything to her in more detail, there would be no end in sight, so I decided to leave it as it was.
You almost got into a fight with the fake First Hero, but you somehow managed to restrain yourself, Drug Hero. Everything should be fine, right?
Well The real First Hero, watching all this, lost his temper.
Huh! What an unexpected turn of events!
Having escaped from this world, my senior slowly prepared for war, but he decided to speed up the process due to the recent events.
ording to my assumptions, this war would be on a universal scale, but wouldnt it be too stupid to start it for such a trivial reason?
I didnt want to be involved in all this.
My life and dignity were important to me. I didnt have that much free time to participate in someone elses war.
One problem remained.
We need to go back in time.
I used Ssosias time machine to get here, but I had no information on how to get back.
I wasnt trying to summon my cowardly wife again, though.
But now I was in the past, so she was probably now somewhere on the continents of Fantasy as an unmarried woman who hadnt yet met the MAX-ss Hero that she desired to be her husband.
So my call didnt work.
But, fortunately, I had already prepared for this.
Snow Woman, I need your feathers.
Huh? Oh, yes. Take as much as you want.
Her feathers were ideal as a catalyst for spatial transference magic.
Wizard A, who raised the Snow Woman, researched it, but he didnt seed and couldnt write his name in history. Unlike him, I would seed. I was loved by the universe, after all.
All I needed to do was know the theory.
Wizard A, thinking he had failed, stopped all his research and gave up the Snow Woman, who was the key ingredient to it.
He handed her to me together with his research.
Her wings feather that I now had in my hand was enveloped by a green glow.
Wizard As theory wasnt wrong.
The problem was
Wizard A, listen. I talked about this when we first met, but your theory is not a failure. These are the words of a Hero with 64 years of experience, which means you can trust them. You were just too greedy.
A shippingpany, for example, would demand higher fees therger and heavier the cargo was.
The theory of Wizard A, who used the Snow Womans feathers, was perfect, but the problem was that he was trying to use this service for free.
He thought of the feathers as the payment to move between dimensions.
I, receiving the support of the universe, immediately understood what the mistake was.
Feathers were feathers, and fees were fees.
The President of the Universe wasnt so generous.
Therefore, it was necessary to reduce the value of matter that was going to move in space.
And power was what contributed the most to a persons value.
Watch attentively. By sacrificing experience points, I reduce my value and use what I spent as payment for the spatial transfer fee. In this world, sacrifice is indispensable.
Ah!
With tears in his eyes, he found enlightenment, changing his job to Archmage A.
It was nothing special, but geniuses living in their closed world sometimes missed such tiny details.
Shadow A.
Did you call for me?
An elf jumped out of my shadow.
You already know your mission, dont you?
Yes. You want me to look after the Snow Woman in your stead as you return to the present?
Precisely.
My resentful senior had an unsessful marriage, but the pathetic Elf King seemed to have a rather amazing one.
Not even a day will be enough for me to tell you all the merits of His Majesty Elfheim. Hmm In your words, he reimed the savages of Fantasy and turned them into civilized citizens.
Incredible story!
Hoo-hoo! Thats not all. He also
Sorry, Shadow A. Ill listen to the 2nd part of that wretched Elf Kings story in 500 years!
She wouldnt have anything to miss about him anyway, considering her loved one, whom she so wanted to meet, was now on the Southern Continent.
No. The Elf King of this ce is like a photograph in an album. I do not need His Majesty from my memories. I need the real him. It will take a long time, but I look forward to our reunion. Thats why the Snow Womans feathers are also important to me.
Shadow As goal was to meet her husband, who was in the dimension of the Festival.
That was a different world, so to get there, she needed spatial transference magic.
If you understand her importance, then theres no need for me to say anything else.
Leave her to me. The First Hero is strong, but his past self is nothingpared to me. And
And?
These are probably his first years as a hero because when I met him, he wasnt a fool chasing every skirt. If you count by human age, hes now going through puberty.
Wait.
Yes?
Do you by any chance know how old the First Hero is right now?
It was very important.
Shadow A stroked the Snow Womans head like a pet, and with a tilt of her head, gave me a surprising answer.
Around 19.
What about his experience?
About two years.
He didnt go through the regression process, did he?
No.
My God
I couldnt even insult him about having only two years of experience.
Because when I was his age, I only did what Alex told me and cried bloody tears. Not only did Ick transcendental skills, but I also couldnt reach level 999.
My senior was a real monster.
He had personality problems and weird preferences right now, but ording to Shadow A, he would soon fix it.
He was the same as me.
? Interest: I wonder how you were in your first round, cadet Kang Han Soo.
Its better for you not to know, Trainee Teacher! Your opinion of the ideal MAX-ss Hero might copse.
And although I could say with confidence that after two years in Fantasy, I was mentally older than the First Hero, I didnt have such a power.
I suppose this is also preserved in my personal file.
Now I understood a little why my infuriated senior wanted to start a war.
If there were a way to erase it somehow, then it would be necessary to do it.
? Excitement: Will there really be a war? I dont want to see my ce of work turn into a battlefield where seniors and juniors alike harm each other
Trainee Teacher, you should be ready, but you dont need to worry so much. I dont think the war will start that easily.
The First Hero would first conduct secret negotiations and, with the help of threats, ask that his personal file be erased.
That wasnt such an impossible request, so some of the teaching staff would definitely agree, and everything would be quietly resolved.
After all, war wasnt a joke.
Thatll be difficult to do.
Huh? You
Its been a while. I wanted to order chicken instead of pizza this time, but this is a school, so only teachers and students are allowed inside. I hope you understand.
I still wear the ring you gave me, Health Teacher.
How could I forget this woman?
As soon as I put on the ring, I immediately remembered her dorsal and cervical vertebrae.
d you liked it. Id love to hear how it came in handy, but were running out of time, so Ill quickly exin something to you. Do you know that teachers are prohibited from interfering with the educational process? However, the First Hero dered war, which caused a state of emergency. We had to make an exception.
Why was my senior so angry?
I forgot that he ruled through a dictatorship. He didnt need any special reason. If he wanted to start a war, then hismanders and subjects would simply follow him.
So the war has already begun?
Not yet. As you predicted, he made a demand. He said that if his personal file was not deleted within ten days, he would destroy Fantasys entire dimension.
And you came to ask me to join the war?
It was easy to assume that.
Didnt the God of the Fantasy World kidnap those who couldnt adapt to life in society and raise heroes out of them to overthrow the embittered First Hero?
But that, of course, didnt mean that I couldnt adapt to societal life as well.
I was just a victim of a system error.
No. Were not shameless enough to throw students into battle who have not yetpleted their studies. We should avoid this unnecessary war.
Is that the only reason?
It was funny to hear about peace from those raising soldiers to kill the First Hero.
Ha Honestly, were not ready yet. To avoid any other cases of heroes joining the enemys side like the First Hero did, starting with the fourth generation, which youre the representative of, people are given more time than strength to slow down the growth of the studentsbat power. My point here is that no matter how good an education system is, it cant only have merits and virtues.
So you decided to delete his personal file?
Yes. But its not easy to do.
Thats understandable. After all, hes part of the story.
The First Hero killed the Demon Lord.
He was a great man, having many achievements. Tales about him were known by the young and the old.
And if, in such a situation, one were to get rid of the First Heros personal file
The novel will lose its main character. If it were a novel that didnt have the First Hero from the very beginning, then everything wouldve been fine, but he yed an important role in the history of the Fantasy World, so its hard to remove his existence from it.
So you want to rewrite everything from the very beginning?
Yes, but this is not a novel, but a huge system. Its impossible to recycle absolutely everything from the very beginning.
Fair enough. After all, the developer was fired.
The systems creator was none other than Ssosia, and without her, it would be difficult to recreate it.
Even if they hired her again, it wouldnt work that easily. She would want to regain full control over it.
Hence, that wasnt possible.
They wanted to solve this problem without a developer.
Thats exactly it. Also, there were rumors that you became her husband, and, looking into your thoughts, I was convinced of this.
And what do you want from me?
I didnt know what to do.
I wanted to avoid a war, but what if we couldnt delete my seniors personal file?
First, lets go somewhere else. I can erase the memories of those who have nothing to do with this, but I cant erase the memory of my former student who looks at me so intently, the teacher said, ncing at Shadow A.
Her former student replied, You never visited me. Not even once. Yet you still call me your student?
Shadow As tone was far from friendly, but it couldnt be said that she was hostile.
Just as you remember to maintain the illusion of your big breasts, I also do not forget the students I taught that technique to. I just couldnt meet you because of the strict school rules. Oh! Your husband Elfheim is doing well. However, Im certain youve already heard that from Kang Han Soo.
Ive never forgotten your grace.
It would be strange if you did. I taught you the shape-shifting technique so that you could marry the man you loved with all your heart, but then he came to sort things out with me. And he called it a bogus wedding.
Elfheim, I cant believe you did that
But I couldnt me him either.
They had deceived him.
Sorry to interfere with your beautiful reunion, but didnt we decide to go somewhere else?
But that was no longer necessary.
Because Shadow A, like a ck hole, swallowed the Snow Woman and Archmage A and left.
We can continue the conversation here now.
Then lets go straight to the main point. How can the war be avoided?
I still had no ideas.
To avoid it, they would need to delete the First Heros personal file, but the entire educational system would copse if they did. Then it would no longer make sense to run away from the war.
Wasnt that what people called a stalemate?
Its simple. We need a new Hero to fill the gap.
Hmm?
Ah! What a coincidence! Right in front of my eyes is a candidate whos in the same era as the First Hero. She gave me a radiant smile.
Chapter 236 - [13th Round] Remake
Chapter 236 - [13th Round] Remake
Wait. I havent given my consent yet.
Stop the war.
It sounded so important that it made it seem that only a great hero could aplish this task, although anyone could.
It didnt have to be me.
Its not as easy as it seems. There arent many heroes who can single-handedly kill the Demon Lord as the First Hero did. Dont forget that we are in the past now. The Demon Lord Pedonar here doesnt adjust to the heros level, unlike in the present timeline.
Then entrust it to high school students.
Werent they the best hitmen the faculty had raised?
The teacher shook her head.
Graduating from a higher education course isnt the same as being a great warrior. After all, students dont need highbat power toplete the assigned tasks. Dont get me wrong, though. Im not forcing you to do this, cadet Kang Han Soo. Still, I want you to know that one faction among the teaching staff wants to entrust this mission to the best student. Just imagine. A future where your name and achievements are in all textbooks.
She was persistent with her insistence.
But there were some inconsistencies in her words.
If this was such a great opportunity, why didnt they assign someone from the faculty to do it? This situation wasnt part of a ss, which meant they wouldnt break school rules.
But they didnt do it anyway.
There was some kind of catch that I didnt know about.
Therefore
Since it isnt necessary, I will refuse.
It was best not to mess with it.
May I ask for the reason behind your decision?
Because I dont need fame. I want to return to Earth with my son as soon as possible, so such a long-term job isnt suitable for me. Find someone else.
Of course, there were some aspects that I liked.
If my name were in all textbooks, then the Legendary effect of my race trait would reach its maximum.
I would never disappear until everyone forgot about me.
In other words, if I were written in textbooks, I would be immortal.
But it didnt make sense for me to ept it.
The First Demon, who would never disappear, was my father-inw, and the Second Demon was my wife. On my head, the First Spirit sat all day.
With these three, I would never disappear.
Hence, I didnt have to be famous.
At the moment, you are the most suitable candidate, Kang Han Soo. Youre not a member of any faction, and you also know the truth. Additionally, yourbat power is higher than that of other students. Plus, thanks to the time machine, you are now in the past, eliminating the preparation phase.
No.
Dont you even want to think about it?
No.
Mmm
Health Teacher had a whiny expression on her face.
She probably thought I would immediately agree if she only told me about the benefits.
But I was a 64-year-old veteran.
I had already experienced first-hand how the savages of Fantasy deceived others with the help of ttery. I wasnt as easily deceived as the First Hero.
If thats all you have to say, leave. I also need to go back now.
With the help of the spatial transference magic, I nned to return quickly and teach my wife a lesson.
And then I would return to Earth, beg forgiveness from my parents, bow to them in respect, and go on a well-deserved vacation.
I only had to imagine it for my mood to rise!
But you have to keep something in mind. If the past changes, then the future will adjust ordingly, and once it does, the characters settings will likewise adapt. The Sword Princess is a young, innocent girl right now, but theres the possibility of her bing a marrieddy in the updated curriculum. The same goes for the Snow Woman you saved.
Is that a threat?
Not at all. Im just telling the truth.
But I was unshakable.
It was true that I entered secondary education to save my son Chris. But then I epted the offer because of problems with my conscience that kept telling me I didnt even try and immediately gave up on my son. I couldnt do that.
But what about now?
The teaching staff was trying to hold me back, using my son as an excuse.
I couldnt give in to such provocations.
As a responsible father, I wanted to save my son, but I refused to be a puppet in the hands of the God of the Fantasy World.
And if I had to choose, I would give up my son and choose my future. I would lose both anyway if I allowed myself to be their dog.
I dont care.
Cadet Kang Han Soo, what do you want?
An early graduation, and the release of my sons soul as a gift. I dont need anything else.
My goal hadnt changed over the past 65 years.
Due to the sudden appearance of my son, I refused to graduate, which was already under my nose, but that was the first and thest time I would do that.
I had to be honest.
Is that so? I understand. Ill be going now.
Sighing, she vanished into thin air.
Like in the past, she appeared and disappeared, like a mirage.
Well I have to go too.
I wasnt interested in the future of Fantasy.
I didnt care who got into the textbooks instead of me. Graduating was my only priority aside from the release of my sons soul.
Fssshhh
Due to her sudden appearance, I stopped theunch of the spatial transference magic, but now I took it up again.
You just wait, Ssosia. Thought you got rid of me? Ill be back soon!
Wait! Kang Han Soo!
You havent left yet?
I thought that if I pretended to leave, then you would begin to regret your decision!
I wasnt the type of person to do such nonsensical actions.
I was the kind of man that didnt know what regret was.
If I made the wrong choice, I wouldnt fret over it, but I would think about how to fix the consequences that would follow.
Lets get down to business. Offer me a reward that will interest me.
I already gave it to you before, but
One ring is enough for me.
I only had one finger that could wear it anyway.
Youre the only one who can aplish this task, Kang Han Soo. Theres no other outstanding student who doesnt belong to any faction other than you. Youre perfect.
Enough praise.
Im just telling the truth.
What about the rewards?
If they provided amazingpensation, I would think about the offer.
What else can we give you?
You tell me.
Werent you taught in your elementary education course that unfortunate brothers and sisters need to be helped for free?
Then why did Teacher Morals run away from me?
Oh, right. There was that
Well, what is the reward?
I had nothing to say.
To be honest, I didnt know what the reward should be in this case. I didnt really need anything at this point.
However, the reward should still be a grand gift in a beautiful package.
Im really at a loss. You do not know what you want, but you also demand something. That doesnt mean I dont understand you, though. For some, corn is more valuable than a diamond because it can be eaten, and a diamond is just a stone.
You seem to be avoiding the question.
Im sure you already know the reason yourself. Its hard toe up with the right rpense for someone like you.
Her forehead wrinkled as she tried to think of a reward that was worthy of me.
But I didnt know what she was thinking. Maybe something that would never ur to me.
At this moment
] Problem: System tampering detected.
] Reason: Object Kang Han Soo.
] Action: Launching his personal files restoration Action canceled.
] Change: Recement of the First Hero.
] Waiting: Finding a solution
] Conclusion: Use intervention in the system.
I thought it was a joke from the insidious faculty, but the message was clearly mechanical.
It was simr to a system message.
Health Teacher was still preupied with thoughts of reward, which meant she didnt see this message.
It seemed that only I could see him.
(Sir Righteous Hero, can you hear my voice?)
What are you?
The being before me looked like a man.
The feigned sweet manner of speech was reminiscent of Lanuvel, but I decided to remain silent and see where it would lead.
(The old Hero died. Because of that, the whole universe is now on the verge of being absorbed by the Demon Lord. Sir Righteous Hero, please do not run back to your homnd, but save this beautiful dimension!)
I thought I asked who he was, but this idiot continued to chat about his own dilemma.
] Requirement: I am not a he, but a she. Due to the situations urgency, I couldnt prepare a beautiful voice, but I will be grateful if you treat me like a noble goddess. Please use your thoughts to convey what you desire to say. Your words are being written down, and they are nned to be included in textbooks in the future. If you understand everything, may I continue?
Were they recording?
(I am the Goddess of Fantasy, the embodiment of this world. Sir Hero, please deal with the Demon Lord who encroaches on this beautiful world and my innocence!)
Hey, system. Youre asking to kill your creators father. What do you think of that moral issue?
] Warning: Your words are being written down as we speak.
Hey. What about my rights? When they shoot a TV show or a movie, they must first sign a contract before doing so, you damn system!
My journey began without my consent.
But I didnt want to participate in this production. I should escape with the help of the Snow Womans feather Huh? I just had it in my hands
(I am certain that I never make mistakes when choosing people! I am grateful that you didnt escape to Earth but remained here, Sir Righteous Hero.)
What are you talking about? You gave me an FFF- for personality all the time.
] Justification: Over time, the grading system has changed. In this time, justice lies in power, which is ranked MAX on your report card. If you dont lose, you will never have an F for reputation, achievement, and personality.
Was being strong enough?
] Confirmation: During the 2nd generation, when the First Hero was active, assessments werent carried out over four subjects, as it is now in the 4th generation. Because of the culture of those times, justice was exacted through power, so heroes were judged based onbat power alone.
I already understood that.
Everything was done by force in this era.
But I didnt think it was a matter of time, considering in the 4th generation, strength was still a decisive factor.
The Sword Princess was the perfect example.
When I was a rookie, in the 1st round, she showed off her naked body on her own, but she tried to kill me when I saw it.
While in the 8th round, when I was a sweet emperor, I bathed and had fun with her every day. She was submissive then.
That was what it meant when to have power.
(Sir Hero, you seem to be tired, which might be why youre not making any sense. Rest today and save the world tomorrow. I, the Goddess of Fantasy, will support you financially and spiritually! See you!)
Unable to cope with my logic, the system said something out of ce and fled.
And Health Teacher
I have an idea! How about this?
She offered me a reward, not even suspecting that the remake was already underway.
Chapter 237 - [13th Round] Coupling
Chapter 237 - [13th Round] Coupling
If youplete the task, I will give you a free pass to enter and exit this realm, eliminating the need for you to escape secretly like what youre about to do now. At least when you miss this ce, you can return at any time.
I can just run away, so Im not sure if thats necessary
The only difference was the secrecy of it.
I didnt want to tell you this since I didnt want to make you feel like you wasted your efforts, but this method will not help you. The real Snow Woman has long since died. You can only use the power of the reborn Snow Woman here.
And my son?
It was a bit of a strange question, but I had to know.
My son was also born in this world, after all.
What would be of him if he tried to leave him?
Your son will be alright. The living creatures of Fantasy can be divided into two groups. One group includes beings with a remnant soul born from existing records. Essentially, they were artificially created for the sake of teaching new students.
The mostmon example was monsters, created as if based on a blueprint so that heroes could gather experience points. The Herospanions, whom the Demon Lord destroyed with just a movement of his hand, also belonged to this category.
They didnt know about it themselves, however.
The second group includes those born on the continents of Fantasy, which is almost everyone except monsters. If this world is a pizza, then the divided souls of the inhabitants are its toppings, although the live-born have full-fledged souls even if their parents have defective souls.
I got it.
But my answer wouldnt change.
Thats a meager reward!
The pass was useless to me. The moment I graduated and returned to Earth, I wouldnt even think ofing back here.
I needed a far more valuable reward than that.
I think this is the most appropriate reward that the teaching staff can give to a student but since you dont want it, theres nothing I can do. I really wanted to provide you with such a bonus, too. Who knows? Maybe after graduation, you will miss this ce and want to return.
A curse dragging me back is more likely!
I didnt even want to hear about it.
Then we will discuss something more individual. As I said before, I am a basic medical knowledge teacher. Therefore, I can only give you something rted to my specialty. However, if you can tell me exactly what you want, I will introduce you to a teacher specializing in that area.
Ill think about it.
A gift from Health Teacher!
Would she give me some kind of four-dimensional pocket where I could store heating pads?
Youre probably thinking of something entric because of my previous gift, but you shouldnt think so narrowly. Lets talk about healthcare.
But Im healthy.
I was always ready to fight.
Even if you are healthy, what about your environment? Your parents, friends, brothers, sisters, sweethearts. Even members of the elven royal family, who boast eternal life, die of diseases. Youre no different from them. Due to the peculiarity of your race, the origin of which isnt clear, you can never sumb to death, but theres the possibility of you suffering all your life because of illnesses.
If you can solve this problem, then you are no different than a god.
That was already out of bounds.
One needed to take care of their health themselves. Those who led toxic lifestyles often suffered from cervical or dorsal hernias.
Nothing in the world was free.
It would be convenient if someone would study and y sports in my stead.
Hmm. Do you know about the harmony of yin and yang?
A little.
I hadnt yet reached the level of the First Hero, whose passion couldnt be stopped by the difference in races, but I knew more than usual.
I can offer you paired rings.
The teacher waved her hand, and a pair of rings with very unusual designs appeared on her palms.
As far as I knew, paired rings looked the same. But not the ones in front of me.
One ring was convex, and the other concave.
Once connected, it would take the form of the number 8.
Not eight. If the creator hears this, he will be upset, but these paired rings symbolize infinity.
Infinity
The traders invented all these names. Wasnt this all a ploy to sell rings to couples?
If these rings simply symbolize evesting love, then I would be disappointed in the teacher.
Of course, these arent simple paired rings. However, you shouldnt just chase after functionality, Kang Han Soo. After all, there are so many things in the world that are valuable simply because of their design and brand.
Ill think about such useless thingster. So what are their abilities?
Sighing, the teacher replied.
If you and your beloved put on these rings and connect them together like yin and yang, their real power will be activated. However, you have to know that this doesnt work between same-sex couples.
And if they change genders?
Hmm kudos to you for thinking of something that no one else has thought of before.
That aside, I still hadnt heard what their real power was.
The rings would fuse a man and a woman together, would it?
I will never give you such a crazy gift! These rings were made by a man whose wife was beaten off by his own sister. He tried to prove that the harmony between masculine and feminine principles is needed not only for reproduction.
What are their properties?
I didnt know how many times I had to ask that.
Drug Hero, rings that are 69% romantium arentmon. The fact that these rings are made of such a rare metal alone makes them already worth considering. I dont know about their properties, but since such a legendary metal was used, these are definitely not ordinary rings.
Ill be the judge of that.
After reproaching the First Spirit for supporting the teacher, I rushed the teacher to answer me.
I was just about to tell you about it. The First Spirit, the godmother of the entire natural world, urately determined theposition of these rings. These rings are 69% romantium, which, depending on the wearers feelings, can both help and cause harm. In addition, this is a real product, not one separated by the system.
So, what are their properties?
I was getting tired of waiting for an answer.
If a man and a woman, who has cognized the harmony of yin and yang, put on these rings and connect them, theyll be able to share each others abilities until one of them takes off the ring. It will also be possible for them to share their joy and pain, both physically and mentally.
Sharing skills
Now that was an entirely different story.
I still needed to think about how best to use them, but judging by the teachers exnations, they could be extremely useful.
There was only one problem left.
I have to do some work to get these rings.
This isnt a bad proposal for you at all, cadet Kang Han Soo. I know I shouldnt say this to someone who doesnt want to do it, but its an extremely honorable mission.
I have only one question.
Yes. Sure.
It doesnt matter how I do it for as long as I kill Demon Lord Pedonar, right?
You asking that question makes me feel a little uneasy, but youre right. The First Hero became so famous because he was able to defeat the invincible Demon Lord Pedonar. The process isnt important. If you kill the Demon Lord, your mission will be consideredplete.
I liked everything about this deal except for the fact that I had to take on this business.
The first reward was a pass that allowed me to freely enter and exit this ce.
I pretended not to need it, but it was a ticket that would grant me ess to Earth even if I didnt graduate.
The second was the paired rings,posed of 69% romantium.
If Health Teacher was telling the truth, then there were many ways that I could use them. It seemed that a strong heating pad would soon appear that would be as powerful as me.
I could dump all the work on her.
Okay.
I just needed to defeat my father-inw by any means Without having to worry about grades!
As soon as I learned that I didnt have to care about it now, my soul became calmer.
Cadet Kang Han Soo, you seem like you agree. I will give you the paired rings as a deposit. The pass will be given after its over. If you get it, you can return to Earth at any time. Ande back too. I pray that you can stop the danger that threatens Fantasy.
She sped her hands in prayer, said goodbye to me, and left.
This time, it seemed, she didnt pretend. She really left.
I reviewed the rings she gave me. The convex ring was for men, and the concave one was for women.
I had already decided on whom to use it on.
Addicted Spirit.
Yes?
Put on the ring.
I held out the concave ring to the First Spirit.
I think she was the most suitable partner for it.
She didnt boast of fighting power, but she, like a bottomless vessel, would be able to fully ept my strength.
Plus, she had a mandate and a status that I didnt.
Drug Hero, for such a small and fragile spirit, such a ring is
Are you a man?
No! No aspect of me resembles males even a little!
Put it on your wrist.
If it didnt fit because her fingers were too small, she could just wear it like a bracelet.
I had some doubts about her gender, but since she so confidently dered that she was a female, I thought there should be no problems.
Ah! Drug Hero, you are a genius!
The First Spirit, who had only recently been discouraged for not being able to wear it, was now smiling brightly as she put it on like a wristwatch.
But so far, there had been no changes.
That was understandable.
Well, lets check it out.
I, the Righteous Hero with 65 years of experience, and the First Spirit connected our rings!
Everything changed at that moment.
***
(Good morning, Sir Hero! You look good today. Beautiful sunny weather is waiting for you outside, as if blessing you for going on a journey that will go down in history!)
The next day, like a doorbell, I was woken up by a system message.
This time there was already a pleasant female voice, as befitted the Goddess of Fantasy.
Just
Wonderful weather?
There wasnt a cloud in the sky, which only portended a drought, but the Goddess rejoiced nheless. Her morals were definitely questionable.
] Reminder: Recording is in progress.
Hey system, have you ever heard of variety shows? This is a live performance without editing or pretenses. I want to be as honest of a hero as I can be.
(Sir Hero! An evil dragon is living nearby. He goes by the name Snow King Eshinoff. Please punish him with the power of justice!)
Not He. Her.
They shouldnt forget about the gender reassignment surgery I performed.
As with live broadcasting, I was required to convey urate information to viewers and listeners without any deception.
Drug Hero, I want more sleep, The First Spirit said, rubbing her eyes.
Since when did you need my permission?
Oh, youre right. Is this one of the rings effects too? For some reason, I got the feeling that if I didnt get your permission, Id be breaking thew, She spread over my head.
I shook my arms and legs to check if I was okay and then jumped out of the hotel window.
The wind spirits helped soften thending, which was extremely polite of them.
Soon enough, a multitude of spirits gathered before me.
Greetings, my legion. The time hase to let both demons and angels alike know who the true ruler of this world is!
My father-inw will have to go on the defensive.
Chapter 238 - [13th Round] From Seniors
Chapter 238 - [13th Round] From Seniors
In this world, everything went wrong from the very beginning.
I couldnt expect much from the savages of the Fantasy World, but at least I could live in a clean, hygienic environment.
Heroes, princesses, princes, beauties, archmages, swordmasters
No matter how amazing ones job, appearance, status, and background were Everyone lived in this filth.
In the Holy Mon Empire, special attention was paid to cleanliness, and those who refused to wash were considered bioterrorists that spread the gue, ultimately leading to their imprisonment.
But one regression was enough for everything to be updated!
This world had always been a mess. Therefore, it needed to be changed from its very foundations.
I finally got the chance to make things right.
Ill at least do the future students a favor.
I didnt want to live the same miserable life my embittered senior had, which eventually led him to escape like a coward.
If I rewrote the history of the Fantasy World from this bygone era, it would be reflected in the textbooks of future students.
It wasnt that difficult.
I will cleanse this world with flush toilets.
I wanted to spread the greatness of Master Mon, but before religion, these savages now needed hygiene.
Countries that refused flush toilets would be conquered, and those who threw garbage in the wrong ce or relieved themselves on the streets would be punished.
It was hard to convince everyone with words.
It would take a lot of money, after all.
I realized this when I asked Ssosia to supply the Holy Mon Empire with flush toilets.
They werent difficult to build. The problems arose from the plumbing and sewerage.
It wasnt easy to direct underground water or water from rivers with a magical tool instead of a pump and connect it to houses using pipes.
In this era, weapons were mainly made of metal.
And metal spoons were used only by members of the royal family, aristocrats, and wealthy merchants.
Everyone, including the officials, would go crazy if I said pipes would beid to their homes, through which water and feces would move.
For the local savages, it would just be a waste of money.
But they will understand everything once theyve experienced the benefits of modern civilization for themselves.
Slime toilets, considered a luxury, werent bad either, but mass producing them was difficult. Only well-trained mucus could live in such a tight space.
Dont exploit my children for such a stupid reason, Drug Hero. the First Spirit began to protest.
Ha! This is a secondary goal. As I said recently, I want to drive away demons and angels and create a world ruled by spirits. Who caused you to lose strength and be a drug addict?
You. the First Spirit answered without hesitation. I cant live without your drug. I am drawn to you by an irresistible force. Therefore, it is your fault.
Okay. Why did you lose your strength?
Because of my obnoxious little brother and sister.
The First Demon and the First Angel.
They werent rted by blood, and therefore werent siblings, but they still considered themselves as such.
Need more reasons?
Hmm no.
Then everything was simple.
The spirits began to take over the world of Fantasy.
The foolish savages didnt know how powerful the spirits truly were since they only thought of them as specific elements.
] Earth Spirit: Controls solids.
] Fire Spirit: Generates energy.
] Wind Spirit: Generates vectors.
] Water Spirit: Controls liquids.
] Soul Spirit: Controls hormones.
Spirits were much stronger and more dangerous. If they fought at their fullest potential, no one would be able to stand against them.
Living things wereposed of solids and liquids and consumed calories closely rted to energy and vectors. They were also dependent on hormones secreted internally.
I started with the simplest one.
Let those who try to resist suffer from diarrhea, I announced.
And it would definitelye true.
***
Starting at the northern edge of the northern continent of Fantasy, the savages began to surrender, quickly submitting to me.
But not everyone epted the changes calmly.
Some fools were against the introduction of flush toilets because it was too expensive.
Well, since that was what they desired
Eating food and going to the toilet became hell for them.
At first, they thought it was food poisoning, but then they realized that it was the work of the soul spirits.
Hormone Management!
Diarrhea was just the beginning of it.
I-I give up.
Enough, please
How can you be so cruel!
Help! My ass cant take anymore!
The rest of the spirits didnt even need to interfere.
Small countries immediately raised white gs after the intervention of the soul spirits, which manipted hormones. Because of the pain brought by the illness, they immediately realized how much they needed flush toilets.
I killed two birds with one stone!
Who was left?
Those with amazing skills managed to avoid the soul spirits wrath.
The ruling circles of powerful countries saved themselves on their own or with the help of expensive magic tools.
Conquering them required a different way.
Its time for me to intervene.
I can tolerate diarrhea, Drug Hero, but violence should be avoided! Dont use my children to wage wars!
The First Spirits voice was stern.
Who did she take me for?
I, the MAX-ss Hero, had conquered 50% of the Northern Continent through peaceful means in just two days.
Im not going to fight. Watch closely.
It wouldnt be wrong to say the entire Northern Continent was ruled by the Magic Empire, the predecessor of the Magic Kingdom.
The remaining half of thends, left outside of my influence, was their territory.
But today, everything would change.
My dear residents! Dont worry. I will protect you from evil spirits and that scoundrel who calls himself a hero while forcing those dubious things called flush toilets upon us! The Magic Empire has endured a lot during their invasion, but were still more than capable of handling their next offensive. As your emperor, I promise you! We will not surrender! We will fight to the end! The Emperor proimed from his terrace.
That speech was full of lies.
If I left it just like that, then I would tarnish the title Hero.
So I intervened.
My stupid people! Do not worry. I will iste you from good spirits and the just person who calls himself a hero while introducing those useful things called flush toilets to us! The Magic Empire has done a lot of stupid things before, and this time will be no different. As your emperor, I promise you! I dont care what happens to you all! I will protect myself!
That great wizard, who could even be a sage if he remained celibate, was able to prevent the spirits from interfering with his hormones.
But what happened to his voice?
The sound wavesing out of his mouth at a speed of 340m/s affected peoples eardrums.
What happened if the spirits of the wind intervened and manipted their vibrations?
What?! Has the emperor lost his mind?!
Hes dangerous!
H-how can he say that
Hes abandoned his people!
As soon as the emperor delivered his speech, which I corrected, the people panicked.
He didnt understand why people were so rmed, and the aristocrats, who were still suffering from diarrhea, but had held on due to their loyalty, couldnt hide their disappointment.
And at this moment
Hello, people of the Magic Empire. I am the Righteous Hero that His Majesty the Emperor spoke about. On his behalf, I also want to announce that I am the true heir to the throne. This royal seal on my finger is the very proof of that!
Thank you, nurse. I am making good use of the genes you passed on to me.
With the addition of Z-rank Fabrication, I instantly captivated the stupid inhabitants and aristocrats of the Magic Empire.
(Um, Sir Hero? Didnt youe here to save the world? This doesnt sound like a heros journey at all)
Silly goddess, listen to me. Do you think idiots stealing tombs, digging graves, and desecrating ancient sanctuaries are saving the world?
A real hero had to be able to use Agitation and Fabrication.
Im witnessing a real miracle!
This country isnt lost yet!
The rightful heir to the throne has appeared!
So thats why he was so strong!
In just two days, there was no longer a single inhabitant who didnt know the Righteous Hero who conquered half of the Northern Continent.
They followed me.
They interpreted that the reason why I was so strong that I could control all the spirits was that the blood of the First Emperor, the greatest wizard, flowed in me.
How is this possible The ipetent emperor, who messed up with his speech, gave way and flopped to the floor.
He didntst that long on the throne.
Thus, with my 65 years of experience, I distributed flush toilets on the Northern Continent, thereby improving the lives of its residents.
But I wasnt done yet.
Because on this continent, there were still impurities that were no less dangerous than the Demon Lord.
You, you, and you are to go into exile.
I drove The First Hero, Lanuvel, and Alex from the Northern Continent.
And of course
Wait! I didnt do anything illegal! Lanuvel began to protest.
You didnt?
Yes!
The fact that you breathe is a crime and a sin in itself.
H-huh?!
My senior still seemed unable to move on from the time the Snow Woman chose me. Hence, without wasting any time, he decided to sail away on a boat. Hispanions and support group followed him.
Some stayed behind, though.
Saintess C, arent you going to go with them?
Dont call me such a strange name, She said, avoiding direct eye contact. But theres nothing I can do if you like that name.
Oh?
W-what? I just said that I like your actions because I am also an adventurer! Although youre amazing as a man too!
I got it, got it.
She frowned at the fact that I wasnt serious about her words.
Its true. I think you are much better than him. He only solves problems with violence. Someone like you can be the real hero this world needs.
Enough.
The hero the faculty wanted to see? The mere mention of it pissed me off.
Plucking up the courage, I praised you! If you only knew how stingy I am with praise
It doesnt interest me.
Oh, okay
Saintess C, whose face reddened, fell silent.
It was time to move on to the next one.
Senior, its time for you to leave.
I was the protagonist of this generation.
If the First Hero, who was allegedly sent into exile, killed the Five Great Disasters from other continents and earned glory from it, it would interfere with my ns.
So I started to sing.
As I watched the retreating boat of my senior, Lanuvel, and the others, I sang a song I had learned from the Mermaid Queen.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye~?
The boat, having received a warm wee from the beautiful mermaids, would sink in the very center of the sea.
Onto the next matter at hand
Chapter 239 - [13th Round] Let the World Benefit!
Chapter 239 - [13th Round] Let the World Benefit!
(Sir Hero, theres no time for this now! The Demon Lord has awakened!)
Dear Goddess, open your eyes wider. Cant you see how Im busy taking over territories so that the Demon Lord doesnt take them away?
I really tried my best.
] Question: Was it really necessary to get rid of the First Hero? Hes going to start a war to erase his shameful history, and we are making every effort to prevent this, and such actions can only worsen the situation.
Theres nothing to worry about, stupid system.
No one knew that he died by drowning in the sea.
As the Righteous Hero, I apanied him and hispanions to the port, and that was the end.
All was clear.
] Humility: I will continue recording.
I didnt limit myself to supplying flush toilets to the savages of the Northern Continent. After all, I was going to distribute these toilets all over the Fantasy World so that both men and women could relieve themselvesfortably.
Wasnt that what a real hero would do?
I could scour the area for several days, save some Sweet Girl A and be satisfied with myself, but would that really bring about peace?
In a broader sense, my actions improved the standard of living of residents, making them happier.
For two months, under the name of The Righteous Emperor of Spirits, Unifier of the Northern Continent, I traveled the world of Fantasy and introduced flush toilets.
It wasnt easy.
Water pipes wereid, septic tanks were installed, and managers were appointed.
I was a regr high school student, so I didnt have that kind of knowledge, but I gained experience in the process after installing flush toilets throughout the Holy Mon Empire.
I watched what Ssosia did and repeated what she did.
Long live the Emperor of Spirits!
Long live flush toilets!
His Majesty! Live Long!
I will follow you until I die!
My poprity grew every day.
Rumors that the hero killed some monster were distant and of little interest to the inhabitants, much like wars in some distant country.
But supplying the world of Fantasy with flush toilets was different.
Because it had to do with human physiology, the inhabitants of the Northern Continent couldnt help but prick up their ears.
Of course, even two months werent enough to do everything by myself.
The Northern Continent was huge, and there werent enough craftsmen who could install flush toilets. However, wizards and master craftsmen forcibly watched what I was doing and learned from it.
The entire process took two months.
After checking if they could cope up without my help, I was able to leave them with a calm heart and wash my hands.
But I wasnt done yet.
Lets continue!
In Fantasy, there were more territories than just the Northern Continent.
My travel between worlds through the Snow Womans feathers was dyed, but my travel between the continents of Fantasy was still possible.
With her catalysts, I could travel anywhere in this realm.
] Requirement: I did ask you to introduce your group. It is imperative that you do so before you go on your journey, so even if you arezy, please do as I ask.
First was the drug addict, the First Spirit.
She absolutely didnt live up to her status as the First Spirit, as her skills were at the very bottom.
But after she put on one of the paired rings that Health Teacher gave me, she got stronger!
She used to sit on my head forever, but now, in an emergency, she could fight in my ce.
She had a peculiarity where her cloaca was arranged in an unusual way
There was also Shadow A, who took care of the Snow Woman since she had no hands. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she would immediately begin to praise her husband. She desired to stay away from her at such moments.
You could have left out a lot of those facts! Regardless, Drug Hero, your group is a real flower garden! The First Spirit wasnt making any sense.
Flower garden?
Cant you see? Just look at our beauty.
Do you have optic problems? We have a monster with gic disabilities, a marrieddy who misses her husband all day, and a sexless spirit. If this is a flower garden, then the First Hero has a botanical garden.
Well
Wait! You forgot about me!
I was about to use the Snow Womans feather to immediately teleport me to the Western Continent but was stopped by Saintess Cs interference.
Fine, I would evaluate her as a man.
Face S, Chest S, Waist S, Butt S, Legs S, Voice S
That was all.
There was no position avable to appoint her to.
(Sir Hero, shes a candidate to be a hero since shes talented in many aspects. Also, thanks to her stunning appearance, shed be able to gather information effectively! If you take her as apanion, she will be extremely useful)
Take care of the Northern Continent!
What?
(Take care of what?)
Both Saintess C and the Goddess of Fantasy were at a loss.
Take care of the Northern Continent while Im gone. If you think you can handle it, Ill leave it to you. Your mission is simple. I need you to install as many flush toilets as possible so that theyll also be avable for tourists. Easy, right?
Not at all, but I want such a toilet for myself. Ill take it.
I thought she would politely refuse, but Saintess C epted my offer without hesitation.
It wasnt that I didnt understand her, though.
After she poured out her soul at the bar, I realized that she was an ambitious woman focused on her career.
She was about to join my journey because she thought she would eventually get the job.
But as soon as I told her that I would give her this position right now, she agreed without hesitation.
We can finally say that the Northern Continent is free from the Demon Lords influence.
It was now time to move to another continent.
I reactivated the Snow Womans feather.
Instantaneously traveling through such a huge distance wouldnt have been possible without the spatial transference magic circle, but I was different.
(Usually, rare items like the Snow Womans feather are obtained only afterpleting a difficult mission)
Its better if you shut up, you greedy Goddess.
After all, you said you would provide me with full support yourself, but all you have been doing is interfering.
I knew what that was about, though.
They thought their nonsense, which they called their teachings, were more valuable than any rare items.
I, the Righteous Hero that brought peace and purity to the Northern Continent in just two months, set out to the Western Continent!
The Western Continent that I knew of had always been cold and dark due to the huge Lucifers feeding on light and breeding all year round.
But it hadnt always been like that.
Isnt it too normal here?
The weather was ordinary. The sky, though gloomy, wasntpletely dark.
The reason for it was simple.
In this era, the Lucifers hadnt yet covered the entire sky of this continent.
There were also huge mosquitoes shooting lightning.
Their mouths were like electrifying syringe needles. Like moths, the Lucifers were attracted by this glow, which eventually roasted them.
They were the natural enemies of the Lucifers!
The First Spirit added, That type of insect is called Zeus. They only feed on the blood of Lucifers or vampires. In Fantasys current timeline, theyre considered an extinct species.
I know.
The lightning emitted by Zeuss had the attribute of a sunbeam. That was why they were so dangerous to vampires.
As soon as lightning struck them, they would faint, and the Zeuss would drink their blood.
Those who feed on blood have themselves be victims of bloodsuckers.
But this food chain didntst long.
They met a tragedy and a misfortune all because of the Phantom King Shakespeare, whom the Hero killed. After being defeated, he moved into a vampires body, killing all the insects that posed a danger to his new race in the process. Due to the disappearance of their predators, the Lucifers began to multiply exponentially and eventually swallowed up the Western Continent.
The First Spirit told me what I already knew.
Addicted Spirit, that information is just rubbish to me now.
Why?!
Do you really not know?
The Righteous Hero would rewrite history.
My tasks had increased.
Aside from supplying this ce with flush toilets, I now had to save the Zeuss from extinction.
But it wasnt as easy as it sounded.
The Western Continent that I knew was a deadnd where no light came in.
But the scene before me was different!
This region had green fields and the same amazing living conditions the Central Continent did.
Today, I will be an adventurer!
Then Ill be a merchant who knows no worries!
Why am I a Demon Lord again?
I saw children ying on the outskirts of the vige.
I didnt get to see such a sight often in this monster-filled world.
The first thing parents taught their children was never to go beyond the vige palisades.
But these children yed outside without any fear.
Watching them, I concluded that it was simply extremely safe here.
Hmm I dont know. I might have to gather information about the Western Continent again.
My 65 years of experience and repeated ythroughs didnt help me in any way.
Drug Hero, ask me about it!
That wont be necessary.
Why?
I can just get information from the spirits of the Western Continent. Huh? How interesting. In some cities, they catch Zeuss and try to use them as electric generators.
I soaked in information from the spirits, learning some interesting facts in the process.
The inhabitants of this ce studied pure engineering, not magic.
At first, they used Zeuss as a weapon against vampires, and then inventions began to appear that could be called household appliances.
The history of my beautiful homnd made it easy for me to understand the situation here. During wars, science and technology developed at greater speeds.
The same went for what happened here in Fantasy. As they used those mosquitoes against vampires, many household appliances were invented.
Mass production hadnt begun yet, however.
Are you interested in them, Drug Hero?
No. Unfortunately, its already toote.
The moment I got the pass from Health Teacher, I would be able to return to Earth.
It was no longer really necessary for me to strain myself so much.
It wasnt easy to introduce even a flush toilet here, so why should I bother showing them all the benefits of modern civilization? After all, there was a substitute for such inventions in the form of magic.
Still
We need to protect an endangered species.
Saving and preserving their technology was up for the locals to decide.
My goal was to find the Phantom King Shakespeare.
There was no point in going to the ce I knew hed be in since we were now in an era where he hadnt lost to my senior yet.
It wasnt hard to deduce that much from the intel I got.
After all, only after taking possession of a vampires body did he destroy the huge mosquitoes that threatened his kind.
And that hadnt happened yet.
Did Ie too early?
] Confirmation: You solved the problem with the Snow Queen on the Northern Continent and came to the Western Continent too quickly. The Phantom King Shakespeare will begin actively taking action only after two years have passed.
Two years?! Then what did the First Hero do while waiting on the Northern Continent?
] Search: In his 846 days on the Northern Continent, he directly or indirectly helped nine old men, five old women, three boys, thirty-nine girls, twenty-seven married men, thirty-five married women, two bachelors, twenty-four single women, two young men, and fifty-six young girls. He also killed 25,831 beings during this time and increased his Fame and Reputation by 2% and 3%, respectively.
I received a report with specific data from the system.
And I suddenly became interested.
What is my situation now?
] Research: In 67 days on the northern continent, directly or indirectly, you helped 694 old men, 1405 old women, 2069 girls, 6395 boys, 25931 married men, 73,948 married women, 4850 bachelors, 19,530 single women, 596 young men, 978 young girls. During this time, you have killed 0 people. You are known to have increased your Fame and Reputation by 594% and 13960%, respectively.
It wasnt as severe as the First Heros, but I also helped women more than men. However, I didnt choose to help women on purpose.
] Analysis: Women are more satisfied with flush toilets than men. Plus, male workers were unhappy with the tax hike. However, what is most amazing is that you havent killed anyone in two months, although many were injured.
What? Injured? I dont remember that! You should stop lying, system.
] Research: You have given 29,502 people a cervical hernia and 33,410 people a back hernia. If you like, I can categorize them by gender and age.
What?
] Question: Are there any other queries?
There is. Why are there more patients with back hernias than cervical hernias? I made sure to keep the ratio as close to 1:1 as possible!
] Error: The essence of the question is unclear.
After that, the system and the Goddess of Fantasy stopped interfering with me for a while.
I finally gained some peace and quiet!
At this time, with the help of the spirits, I looked for the Phantom King Shakespeare.
In the end, I found him, but
He does not look like a viin at all
Shakespeare, who hadnt yet earned the title Phantom King, was still a forty-year-old archmage, suffering from pain between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.
Chapter 240 - [13th Round] Inventor
Chapter 240 - [13th Round] Inventor
The viin? What are you talking about?
Eavesdropping isnt good.
Im sorry.
Archmage Shakespeare was an inventor. He was a real hard worker who spent most of the day in hisboratory, bedroom, and kitchen at the same time.
But he wasnt considered entric because there were many wizards like him on the Western Continent.
There was only one difference between him and them.
Mr. Shakespeare, let me know if you still need help.
A sixteen-year-old girl visited the wretched den of that old and lonely bachelor.
That wasnt to say that she was a beauty that would maize your eyes indefinitely. If she was born on Earth, things might be different, but she looked only slightly better than average in Fantasy.
In other words, she was an ordinary girl.
Perhaps it was because of this ce that she kept getting highlighted. I didnt know what would happen if we put a princess next to her, but we were in a dark workshop, and she stood out in such an environment.
? Confusion: You seem to be too picky. Just call a beauty a beauty.
Dont worry, Trainee Teacher. After all, the whole universe knows that you are the most beautiful of all!
?Curiosity: Youve never even seen me.
It doesnt matter!
Thanks for helping with the research. Here is the promised reward.
Archmage Shakespeare gave the girl a small bag of money.
ng!
From the sound alone, it wasnt filled with gold coins, but silver coins.
Wasnt this called clinical research? Pharmaceuticalpanies usually perform them to test new drugs.
Thank you!
To you as well.
I immediately gathered information about her through the spirits.
Her parents died while she was still young due to an infectious disease, and she was left to raise five younger siblings.
The girl worked as a servant in the castle of a feudal lord. To earn extra money for the sake of her brothers and sisters, she participated in these clinical studies.
On Earth, people often participated in safe experiments to earn extra money.
But these savages had no concept of safe testing.
As soon as they invented something new, they immediately moved on to widespread applications. Therefore, only after side effects orplications were found could corrections be carried out.
I asked Shakespeare a question in the style of a local savage.
What is this lump for?
Thats not a lump but a golem. It isnt humanoid like normal golems, but it will massage your whole body if you sit on this chair-like part!
He made a massage chair out of a golem.
What an incredible invention! Sell me one.
I hoped he wouldnt actually sell it to me. I always carried a softer and warmer massager than this golem in my pocket.
Although I hadnt been able to use it for thest two months, which was making my entire body ache!
Sorry, but its not for sale. It hasntpleted all security checks yet, so its difficult to sell it right now. Im also currently not in need of money.
In Fantasy, inventors werent sponsored.
Since there was no copyright protection here, even if they invented something incredible and other people copied it, it would be hard to get the money back they spent for research and development.
Therefore, science had reached a dead end here, and only magic had been developed.
If one disassembled household appliances that didnt have a security system, they would immediately be able to create something simr. Still, the same principle didnt apply to magic, which couldnt be easily replicated.
Then Ill use your invention. If theres a problem with it, then youll be able to fix it right away.
What a stubborn young man! I said I wouldnt sell it to you. Whose fault is it if the invention breaks down? Just give up. I will not sell it until it has passed all security checks.
Ordinary wizards and inventors would sell it without second thoughts.
After all, it would be possible to kill two birds with one stone. Theyd be making money while conducting a safety test.
And even if there were a problem, they wouldnt be held responsible.
It would be possible to turn everything in such a way that the problem arose due to improper use of the device by the buyer.
Afterward, they would be able to correct all the errors.
Then theres nothing I can do about it. Will you sell that one to me instead, then?
You want to buy this medicine without even asking what its for?
Well, it must be good for the users health!
It was the drug that the girl recently took before leaving.
This medicine protects the soul. If ones body receives mortal wounds, healers would be able to tend to those injuries. Meanwhile, thanks to this miraculous elixir, the soul will be able to return to its body again, allowing the person to be resurrected.
Woah! Thats just incredible!
I exaggerated a little, but I was really half sincere this time.
Elixir of immortality.
I realized that this was the source of why, in the future, this forty-year-old wizard would be called the Phantom King.
Give me one.
I would find out theposition of this medicine and would do the same for myself.
If I could outwit mom and convince her that it was a supplementary medicine for the body by sending it as a gift, maybe her racket would no longer crush me as much.
I would like to, but this elixir must be taken constantly since only then will its effect activate. As of this moment, only the girl you just saw and I have taken it. Its ingredients are pretty rare, so even if I want to craft more, I cant. Youd also have to die to test the effect of the elixir, so I was nning on taking it myself first, but
Shakespeare told me almost the same information about the girl as the spirits did.
Unlike the spirits, who looked at the situation objectively, the young girl embellished her story to arouse pity in her forty-year-old uncle.
Still, almost everything converged.
So she cant die until her younger siblings are adults. I couldnt dissuade her after hearing her story. Up to this point, neither she nor I have had any side effects, but it remains unknown if it works. Therefore, I cant just sell it yet. I also dont have enough reserves.
He was a real inventor.
I gave him 100 points!
He only suffered losses, so I didnt understand how he became the Phantom King, whom even vampires feared.
I couldnt wait two years
Ah! Are you thinking of getting married?
I saw the Princess of Darkness on the Northern Continent, but the Phantom King wasnt yet a vampire, but only a humble human, and at 40, he wasnt only not married, he didnt even have a girlfriend.
Something didnt add up.
What about the bloodline of the Princess of Darkness?
Marriage Ahem! I wouldnt say that I cant get married. I just dont want to. I must focus on wizardry until I finish this research of mine.
Such an excuse would not work on Earth, but because a resident of Fantasy, where the most insane skills existed, was the one who said those words, I couldnt evenugh.
Shakespeare had the right to say that, after all.
] Race: Great Human
] Level: 999+
] Job: Wizard (Chastity Wisdom)
] Skills: Magic ZZZ, Sorcery ZZZ, Magic Power Z, Path of Magic Z, Intelligence Z
] Status: Good
He had incredibly high ranks in Magic and Sorcery.
In this world, two jobs could be obtained if one remained innocent for a long time.
The Sage that increased Magic Power, and the Wizard, which increased Intelligence.
Both jobs had their advantages and disadvantages, but bing a wizard was easier.
Therefore, many aspired to be wizards.
Few seeded, however.
After all, monster attacks and wars never stopped in this realm, causing a high mortality rate.
As a result, many families had a man who had two or three wives. Because the poption was the main indicator of a countrys strength, the state even encouraged this, but it was also because the girls wanted someone that could protect them from monsters and bandits to be next to them.
It could be said that even if men wanted to remain innocent to be wizards, girls didnt leave them alone!
Women also had simr jobs.
But things were different from them.
If a female kept their innocence, she could be a Witch. However, after gaining it, innocence would no longer matter. Their Magic Power also grew stronger the more beautiful they became.
If a girl wasnt confident of her appearance, there was little point in her bing a witch.
I suppose youre not going to get married?
Im serious!
I didnt say anything.
The Phantom King Shakespeare had five vampire wives whose beauty was so incredible they could drive people insane.
There seemed to be some problems.
I realized there were errors in the system settings, though I had already sensed it when I noticed the Princess of Darkness was one of the First Herospanions.
Work hard. Anything can happen.
Do not worry about me. I will seed!
After talking with Uncle Shakespeare, I said goodbye to him. I then decided to investigate in a different direction.
? Amazement: So you decided to solve this mystery!
Naturally, Trainee Teacher!
The fastest way to solve this was to ask the self-proimed Goddess of Fantasy, but she had been silent since the error message came out, so I couldnt do it.
Therefore, I had no other choice but to intervene myself!
I couldnt just wait for two years, and since my resentful senior had already left us, the course of history was disrupted.
Therefore, I needed to personally find out what was happening here.
I need to meet the Princess of Darknesss mother first.
The most beautiful vampire of the Western Continent would definitely be able to tell the truth about this tangled story.
***
Finding her was harder than I thought since this ce was no longer eternally swallowed by the darkness, unlike in the present timeline.
The vampires I knew lived on the surface like humans, but vampires had to avoid sunlight in the past, so they lived in caves.
They couldnt rule the cities in this era.
Even with the help of spirits, it was difficult for them to do.
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
Nothing seemed impossible if onebined the five elements, but everything was different for the vampires ustomed to the darkness.
It would be nice if I could get a spirit of darkness
But heroes shouldnt befriend a demonic entity!
She lives in such a pitiful ce.
If I knew her real name, I wouldnt have wasted so much time, but I just remembered her as Colony A Manager.
That is too rude for the most beautiful being of the Western Continent, Drug Hero.
Do you want me to remember the names of everyone I meet?
Having rebuked the strange logic of the First Spirit, I entered a cave that was nothingpared to the Colony A that I knew.
The vampires shelters were incredibly dark, but I had the universe on my side, so it didnt cause me any problems.
I even punished a vampire who crept up behind me to thrust her fangs into my neck.
After making sure her neck was beautifully arched, I moved on.
The vampires hiding in the darkness watched me closely, ready to pounce on me all at once at any moment.
Shes here, huh?
The cave was confusing since it was like abyrinth, but I still reached my destination in no time since I followed the path provided by the spirits.
Was it because I was in a cave? My whisper bounced off the walls, echoing over a great distance. Therefore, the vampires already knew I wasing before I could get there.
Wh-whos there?!
The voice sounded confused. It wasnt a womans either, but a mans.
I looked at the spirits that brought me here.
Hey! Are you sure you brought me to the right ce?
They nodded confidently.
I decided to believe them for now.
I went to where the mans voice came from and introduced myself briefly.
I apologize for disturbing you. Im the Righteous Hero, and it seems that Im lost. I heard that theres a vampire with the most beautiful pelvis here on the Western Continent, so here I am Oh! I think Ivee to the right ce after all.
I saw a beautiful vampire who had her arms and legs tied. And behind her, I saw a familiar vampire.
Phantom King Shakespeare.
He had a different name now, though.
I asked you who you are!
P-please s-save Ah!
I scratched my head.
I understood that something important was happening here, but I had to take my leave.

? Race: Royal Vampire

? Skills: Life Energy ZZ, Domination Z, Blood Drinking Z, Stealth SSS, Charm SSS
? Status: Confused, Royal Seal, Relic
The vampire who was having a good time with the most beautiful female in the Western Continent was equipped with weak and unimportant skills.
He would have been considered incredibly strong back in my primary education days, but he waspletelygging behind in this era.
Regardless, he still pretended to be the king of vampires.
As the Righteous Hero, I couldnt close my eyes to such insolence!
The archmage had two ZZZ-rank skills, yet he still lived like a hermit. Meanwhile, that unremarkable vampire was pleasuring himself using such a gorgeousdy.
It shouldnt be like that.
Wait! I wille backter!
I could annihte him right now, but then the rise of the Phantom King Shakespeare would forever be impossible.
And that should never be allowed to happen.
Just like the Snow Queen Elsh of the Northern Continent, the Western Continent representative of the Five Great Disasters should also remain in existence. That begged the question of what the best way to proceed from here was.
But the answer to that was already a foregone conclusion from the very beginning.
I dont know the answer, though, Drug Hero.
Watch carefully, you foolish spirit.
I immediately returned to Archmage Shakespeare and, like a weakling, shouted.
Trouble! Please, help!
W-what happened? Why did you suddenly kick the door of someone elses house
This isnt the time to talk about such nonsense! We need the power of a forty-year-old archmage right now!
Force? I dont like violence Huh?!
Enough talking!
I wanted him to decide on his own, but it pissed me off how long he thought.
I grabbed him between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae and dragged him with me.
Kha! I think youre much stronger than me
Its just the adrenaline coursing through me because of the current situation.
O-okay, I got it, so let me go! I can move on my own! Are you asking for my help because its hard for you to fight alone?
Something like that.
Such was the logical prowess of a wise wizard. Thinking Id find this situation impossible to deal with on my own was nonsensical, but from a standpoint within the bounds ofmon sense, his conclusion wouldve been the most usible.
We went straight to the cave where the vampires were hiding.
Hmm There is a smell of blood in this cave, which indicates that vampires are living here. Are they the enemies well have to face?
I didnt need to exin anything.
I felt sorry for myself for not having such a quick-wittedpanion in the first round.
Right. Go inside. The spirits will show the way.
The local spirits greeted us.
What about you?
You dont have to worry about me.
Im not since youre stronger than me. Im just curious why youre noting with me.
Ill be on guard here to stop any vampire reinforcements.
What is the essence of all this?
The vampires surrender and the release of the locals that the vampires are treating like cattle, harvesting blood from them.
Hmm I see, Shakespeare sounded uncertain. Sighing, he entered the cave without further dy.
Shadow A.
I called out to my aunt. She usually stayed in my shadow except when watching over the armless Snow Woman.
Im not an auntie. Ive been alone for so many years
So you deny your marriage?
N-no! How can I deny King Elfheim?! He is my bright sun, my oasis, my
You can stop now. Follow that guy. I havent seen any patient thats strong in battle despite having an intervertebral hernia yet.
Hernia appeared in people with a sedentary lifestyle.
Hence, inbat, Shakespeare wouldnt be as strong as his skills might suggest.
Hmm
What?
I just wanted to say that you are still a hero.
Stop wasting time and follow him.
As you wish
Thanks to the contract, everything Shadow A saw and heard was transmitted to me, allowing me to observe the situation.
Hmm? An invader?
The blood of old people isnt very pleasant
But doesnt he reek of chastity?
Oh! Youre right! I look forward to tasting him
Light!
Aaaarghhh?!
Ugghhhhhh?!
It didnt matter if he wasnt as experienced in actualbat.
The wizards Intelligencepensated for that w.
Like a veteran who could silence even seasoned mercenaries, Shakespeare confidently moved through the cave.
After he rescued the residents of nearby towns and viges from imprisonment, he summoned a small golem to apany the people to the exit from the cave.
The vampires were dominant in numbers, but they couldnt do anything against the light magic he used in such a confined space. Even if they approached him, they still couldnt touch him because of his protective barrier.
That was the power of a being that had two ZZZ-rank skills.
The power of a forty-year-old innocent archmage.
Step forward if you still desire to fight!
The vampires, realizing that they couldnt ovee the difference in their skills, surrendered one by one.
Because of that, he quickly reached his destination.
Even though Shakespeare deviated from the path that the local spirits showed him since he needed to save the abducted people throughout the cave, he still didnt take long.
I am the inventor, Shakespeare.
He found the Vampire King, who, upon hearing the noise, went out to face him, making sure to wear his underwear and pants beforehand.
The fusion of those two would create the Phantom King Shakespeare.
But now, they met as enemies.
How dare you run amok in my territory, you old virgin! Dont think Ill let you die peacefully.
Dont underestimate innocence! Brilliance!
BUT?!
With a loud cry, the Vampire King fell on his face.
I expected a fierce battle to unfold here, but no such thing happened due to their huge difference in skills.
The archmages enemy couldnt even retaliate.
No, he couldnt even move.
He looked so silly!
Since ancient times, tales were already filled with women falling in love with the men who saved them.
Ah! How strong you are!
The pupils of the Western Continents top beauty turned into hearts.
She was still naked and with her arms and legs tied. Her back was slightly arched, too, creating quite the stunning image.
Hmm! Ill free you now. I might regret it if your husband tries to take revenge on me, though
Oh! I am but an unmarried and innocent girl.
She lied yet didnt blush! Everyone, including me, the spirits, and the system itself, knew that she had an adult daughter.
However
I-I see. Im sorry. Ahem-ahem.
He ignored her lies. Where did his boundless wisdom and intelligence go?
My incredible savior, if you really want to apologize, then untie these ropes with your own hands, not magic.
My hands? Oh Uh Okay.
Be gentle with me.
D-dont move. If you toss and turn around like that, I might identally touch your skin and Ahem! In any case, dont move.
The moment the wizard grasped the beautiful vampiress, she clung to him like a leech.
She threw her slender arms around Shakespeares neck, pressed her breasts against him, and looked at him seductively.
Thank you for freeing me from that scoundrel, my savior.
In the Fantasy World, women wanted a strong husband who could protect them.
However, even if they had gotten married and had children, it still wouldnt be the end.
No. Someone taking someone elses wife and killing her children from a previous marriage was amon urrence in this wild world.
Hence, the more men looked at a beautiful woman, the stronger the husband she desired.
After all, safety was more important than impulsive feelings.
Not everyone was so categorical, though.
Everyone had different tastes. There were many princesses or daughters of aristocrats here that had run away from home and married savages who had nothing to their name.
But as soon as their dreams ofplete freedom were shattered, poor life and eternal quarrels awaited them.
I get it, so get away from me a little
Do you not like me? Is it because Im a vampire? Or because you find me ugly?
None of those are true! But
But?
This is just so sudden.
This is the first time Ive ever felt this way. As soon as I saw you, my heart started beating faster, and my fangs immediately became thirsty.
The Western Continents pinnacle of beauty, as an experienced hunter, didnt want to let go of the forty-year-old virgin archmage.
She wasnt his rival. If they started fighting, it would be over in 0.001 seconds.
But her best weapon wasnt her physical strength.
It was her beautiful pelvis!
?Interest: Do you like girls with beautiful bones?
Good question, Trainee Teacher!
I thought that my preference stemmed from my mothers words, who often said that I shouldnt look at a womans appearance but her inner beauty.
And I had long admired her wisdom.
Unless they were elves or women who didnt take care of themselves, all girls with beautiful bones were beautiful.
? Confusion: Inner beauty Hmm. I see
The vampiress was in the crosshairs of the likes of the Vampire King, so she needed a man who could protect her.
That was when the archmage appeared right in front of her!
She began to push aggressively to prevent him from running away.
If Shakespeare could preserve his virginity in such a situation, then he was, by all means, worthy of a position beyond archmage.
That aside
It seems everything is in order.
Just like his past versions, he managed to get himself a beautiful wife. He was still yet to gain his reputation as the Phantom King, but as the saying went, whoever one fell in love with, that was who theyd get it from.
And if he lived with this beauty, then there was a chance of her identally piercing him with her fangs during a passionate night, turning him into a vampire.
It didnt matter that the probability of such an oue was only 0.01%.
After all, the opportunity would present itself every night.
Then everything would be as it was supposed to be except for his title, the Phantom King.
Youre simply incredible, Drug Hero. The First Spirit said in admiration, still sitting on my head.
What are you talking about?
Anyone with 64 years of experience should be able to do this with ease.
You gave her up so easily. The First Hero wouldve most likely saved that vampire himself and married her. After all, she is the most beautifuldy in this part of the world.
Even if she were hailed as the most beautiful being in the entire universe, I wouldnt have cared.
I didnt look at the outer appearance of women, but their inner beauty!
(Sir Hero, whose interests lie in the bones of women, you have saved the Western Continent before disaster struck! I, myself, dont understand what Im talking about right now, so dont ask me)
And I thought you were gone for good! Im not happy to meet you at all, dear Goddess. Can I go to the Southern Continent?
(Yes. There is an ongoing war between giants and elves on the Southern Continent right now. A decisive battle between the heads of these two races will soonmence, and the giant whod win this battle will be crowned the Fire King Phoenix. The defeated elves will then be driven to the verge of extinction. At that moment, an elf wille from the Central Continent to unite his kind scattered in different parts of the continent and start building a nation.)
I thought I knew who that elf was.
The pathetic king of the elves.
Incredible Sir Hero! Lets go soon! Blushing, Shadow A rushed me.
I immediately asked her a question.
Didnt you say youre not interested in just one photo and that the Elfheim here isnt your real husband?
You still remember the words I said to look stronger Hmph! It doesnt matter! 3D is still better than 2D! Here, Sir Hero. A feather!
Kyaah! Please be more gentle!
Shadow A waved in the feather she had just ripped from the Snow Womans wing in front of my face.
Shaking my head, I was forced to ept it.
Well Lets go. Theres something Im curious about anyway.
When did the pathetic Elf King begin to hate his race and praise humans?
Chapter 242 - [13th Round] First Elf King
Chapter 242 - [13th Round] First Elf King
I instantly moved from the Western Continent to the Southern Continent with the dummies using the Snow Womans feather.
The terrain here was also different from the one I remembered.
Instead of deserts, I was greeted by green fields and thickets. It was hot, but the air was humid instead of dry.
That served as evidence that the Ice Dragon Sleas, who became the main cause of global warming, hadnt arrived here yet.
Were here. Now then
Although I wasnt familiar with this topography, the huge mountains location hadnt changed. Hence, I could approximately pinpoint where I was.
Ill show you the way, Sir Hero, Shadow A offered. She had be overly active since I said we were going to the Southern Continent.
Oh, okay. This is your homnd, isnt it?
Yes. I lived here for a long time. Its been ages since Ist saw what this ce looked like before it turned into one huge desert It brings back a lot of old memories. I remember sharing a cockroach with King Elfheim here. Oh! His Majesty Elfheim also
Stop thinking about the cockroach as if it were a chocte bar.
We headed further south.
That was where the war between giants and elves was happening.
Its pretty funny if you think about it. The Southern Continent is huge, but those two races have been struggling for supremacy in the southern part of it for decades now.
I understood why, though.
In this era, this continents southern area had the most favorable climate and provided the best living conditions. If the Southern Continent was Africa, then where we were heading to right now was simr to South Africa.
I knew that because of the local spirits. I was receiving information from them even at this moment, simr to what happened in the Western Continent.
But I didnt get all the information I needed.
For example, I asked them where the senior was and what he was doing in this era, pretending not to know.
? Record: His visit to the Southern Continent is to take ce five years from now. He teamed up with spirits, elves, and humans in the fight against the Fire King Phoenix.
Five years was too long.
But there didnt seem to be any problems.
The war had already begun, and the elves who faced the giants were dying like flies.
Their frontlines were still holding on, though.
All because of a single individual.
The First Elf King
Among the elves, only their king knew how to fight well. The rest of them could only draw bowstrings with their slender hands.
They couldnt control spirits like modern elves and didnt have normal weapons and armor.
That wasnt all.
They didnt even have a strategy.
They only attacked and retreated at random, like real savages.
But their ruler alone made up for it. As soon as he swung his Fire Sword, he instantly killed giants as tall as a three-story building. And instead of clothes, he was wearing a Fire Armor, which also served as his weapon.
Behind him formed a Fire Path, interfering with his pursuers. His Fire Wings, like the engines of a jet ne, provided him with the ability to deftly maneuver.
His zing weapon was dangerous in its own right, but all he needed to do was m his body engulfed in mes against the giants to burn them up without a trace.
He was like a livinget!
His fighting power was impressive.
Hmm. I want to get closer and view his stats.
My interest had shifted from the pitiful Elf King to the First Elf King. Due to the techniques he used, he looked like a miniature version of the Fire Phoenix King.
Thats only natural, Drug Hero. The Giant King had to swallow the First Elf King to be the Five Great Disasters representative in the Southern Continent, the Fire King Phoenix.
Isnt it because he devoured the Essence of Fire?
To be more precise, the Essence of Fire is the genes of eternal life that belonged to the First Elf, the progenitor of all other elves. Those dominated by his genes are now royalty. Therefore, unlike ordinary elves, who on average can live for about 3,000 years, the ones who belong to their royal family have an unlimited life expectancy. There hasnt been an elf yet that has lived forever, however.
That pathetic Elf King still lives, though.
Most likely, even now, with a satisfied expression on his face, he was looking out of the window of the city halls second floor, enjoying the chests of girls passing by.
Hes not an elf, but a cockroach. Thats why hes so tenacious.
No. He perseveres because many people around His Majesty are loyal to him, First Spirit. Shadow A began to praise her husband with burning eyes.
Shut up, both of you. Answer my question. Is their progenitor a mutated human or a monster?
The First Elf King had the same skills as the Fire King.
He wasnt anything like his race at all.
As soon as he received a blow from a giants huge club, he immediately turned into a me and resurrected.
He looked more like a phoenix from the myths rather than an elf.
The First Elf King, like you, is a hero who came from another world.
This is the first time Ive heard of that.
Why did she never tell me such important information?
Is it really that important, Drug Hero? Its the same with humans. The local inhabitants of Fantasy are known as Humans. Individuals like you, who came from Earth, are Arch-Humans. Your son, a mixture of the two worlds, can be considered the 2nd generation. If we ranked him based on the elven hierarchy, then he belongs to the royal family.
Whats your point?
Based on the First Spirits exnation, I thought it wasnt a big deal.
The First Elf is a representative of the 1st generation, a real Elf Hero.
But he wasnt as outstanding of a hero as I was. He only had phoenix-like skills, but I didnt expect much from him.
I realized that he was useless when I learned that a giant managed to swallow him. The only fact I liked about him was that he was engulfed in mes.
We moved south, having various conversations until the battlefield appeared.
Kill all the elves!
S-save me!
If you run away, His Majesty will kill you!
Father Mother
It was hard to call what I witnessed a war.
The Elf King single-handedly destroyed the settlements of giants, and the elves collected by force were subjected to mass extermination.
The elves flimsy arrows couldnt pierce through the giants thick skin, and their small legs couldnt give them the speed they needed to escape.
The situation was the same for the giants opposing the Elf King. Their clubs and fists couldnt stop his mes.
Both sides suffered heavy losses!
Hmm. This reminds me of something.
An event simr to this happened during the first round.
Mypanions rushed to the battlefield, arguing about who would kill more enemies, and I had to keep an eye on the camp.
They always intervened in battles that were supposed to be lost.
And I always had to clean up after them.
I defended their rear so that the enemy army couldnt arrange a surprise attack and pincer them.
But the price for this was negligible.
Experience points, skill levels, fame
Mypanions received all of those, while all I earned for myself was the notorious coward title.
That wasnt even the end of it.
To prevent mypanions from scoffing at me, I always had to be ahead of them in terms of level and skills.
While they were celebrating their victory after another massacre, I hunted monsters all night.
Only unpleasant memories remained in my mind about the first round.
Its hard to listen to you when you talk about the 1st round, Drug Hero. If you write a story about your experience, you wont be able to sell a single book.
I agree.
? Denial: We keep your personal file. Youre a rare case, so we give it special treatment. Were going to use your example as a reference on the side effects of raising heroes
Now remove it all, you damn system, while Im still asking nicely!
Now I understand my seniors feelings a little about wanting to erase his dark history.
The battle didntst all day.
The giants used up a lot of calories, preventing them from fighting for long. They caught the fleeing elves and supplemented themselves with them, but such skinny beings couldnt fill their stomachs.
Hence, they were forced to retreat and go to the sea, satiating their hunger with sea monsters.
Haa Ha
The First Elf, who rampaged all day in the enemy settlement, was no different.
Exhausted, he returned to his city, which the giants had trampled on during his absence, and, ignoring his surroundings, went to the rebuilt barracks to rest.
He took this terrible sight for granted.
Its amazing how the elves werent exterminated even after all that, I said, looking at the scene from afar.
Its just awful. I cant believe that tyrant is the progenitor of all elves Shadow A frowned.
The First Elf slept with the females of the human race and had many children with them since they were able to interbreed with other races. Among them was my mother-inw, the Second Elf King, who took over most of his blood. His Majesty Elfheim was born of an alliance between the First and Second Kings. However, the concept of first and second didnt exist at that time. All this happened after King Elfheim built the state.
She seemed to know so much about it, which was only natural since it was the story of her race.
Not really. The progenitor described in the story is too embellished. If his tales spoke of him like the tyrant that he was, then nobody wouldve loved our race. Few elves are aware of the truth behind their history.
How about the Third Elf Kings unique preferences?
Theres nothing beneficial to letting our kind know that the most respected Elf King loved humans more than his race. The same goes for the reason why he felt that way.
Why didnt she just say it was because of his love for big breasts?
Well, the point is the Southern Continent needs reorganization.
ording to the local spirits report, the pathetic Third Elf King was traveling to the human settlements of the Southern Continent, promoting and advocating for elven rights.
He probably already knew.
That nothing would be solved even if he came here.
That progenitor is the source of all these troubles.
But he had incredible fighting power. Trying to convince him to do anything was nothing short of suicide.
Strength had to be answered with strength.
I calmly walked through the elves who mourned their rtives, whom the giants trampled over.
Nobody stopped me. None had the strength to do so.
Stop Oh! Come in, Holy Lord.
The soldiers guarding the entrance of the First Elf Kings barracks retreated, allowing me to enter.
That was the power of the Righteous Hero.
No, thats the effect of Divinity Z.
I paid no heed to the words of the miserable spirit, whose dirty ass was sitting on my sacred head.
Hey, Im clean!
Shut up. Im about to have an important conversation.
Because of the picture that opened before my eyes, I was speechless.
On the bed, trimmed with animal skin, the First Elf King sprawled. A female elf sat between his legs, her face buried in his groin.
They werent the only ones in the room.
There were five other elves around the bed, waiting in line, and they all looked like they were on the verge of crying.
Who dares disturb my peace Hmm? What is a wretched human doing here? What business do you have with me? Ah, did youe here to sacrifice that bitch standing next to you? If so, then I will forgive you for your rudeness, Opening his eyes the moment he felt my presence, the First Elf Kings tone remained rxed.
Hey, Shadow A. Would you like to greet your father-inw?
No thanks.
Their long-awaited reunion didntst long.
Uuurgghh!
I grabbed him by the cervical vertebrae. It was time for us to have a man-to-man talk.
Hey. Youre making too much noise. I only slightly touched Oh! Ahem. Got it.
His neck wasnt the problem.
The elf between his legs was surprised by the sudden visit of the Righteous Hero, causing her jaws to clench.
Chapter 243 - [13th Round] Fire King Phoenix
Chapter 243 - [13th Round] Fire King Phoenix
You stupid bitch!
I-Im sorry, Your Majesty. Im sorry. Have mercy Please! I beg of you! The elf began to plead to the Elf King.
Tsk! Have mercy? How dare you Kh!
I politely interrupted their conversation.
Both humans and elves sometimes unconsciously tensed their shoulders up or clenched their jaws out of surprise. That was apletely natural phenomenon, so he shouldnt get so heated up about such little things.
He should take me as an example.
I endured the spirits that harassed me every day.
Hey, Elf King. Shouldnt you ask me for forgiveness first? Instead of talking to me, you insist on flirting with a beautiful girl. Thats extremely impolite of you.
I was still a hero, though.
I was used to such a cold wee!
Let go of me Kh-Akh! You worthless human! He wheezed, thrashing his arms and legs around.
He was more muscr than normal elves, and his body was covered with hot mes.
However, neither his punches nor his kicks did me any harm.
In other words
Youre really weak.
The helpless elves seized the opportunity I opened. Screaming, they fled the scene.
The First Elf King finally stopped fidgeting, realizing that none of his attacks worked.
How about using the excuse that youre tired since you just fought against the giants?
He didnt answer my suggestion.
Hey, weakling. Stop pretending youre powerful! Im sure youve seen a lot of weaklings before, so you should know how to act like one. If you dont
I know! The frightened Elf King cried.
Simply put, the weak who became strong would know the struggles of those below them. In contrast, if the strong became weak, they would begin to cower in fear.
That wasnt always the case, though.
After all, as they said, bulls forgot their experiences as calves.
There were those who, after bing strong, began to mock the weak. There were also people who couldnt ept their current situation after withering away, causing them to get stuck in the past.
Starting today, youll be known as Phoenix the Fire King.
H-how do you know my real name?
Huh?
For a moment, my head stopped working.
The First Spirit and Shadow A, who watched over her father-inw, reacted the same way.
So your real name is Phoenix?
Yes. They used to call me the Fire King back in my homnd Kh-?!
Wait. I need to get my thoughts in order.
The Fire King Phoenix was a colossal monster, as tall as a multi-story building. He was the Southern Continents Great Disaster and the progenitor of fire giants that lived in volcanoes.
But now, this wretched Elf King had introduced himself as the Fire King Phoenix.
That name wasnt even supposed to exist in this era yet.
Sir Hero, really
You think so too?
That seems to be the case, Drug Hero.
It was said that the First Elf King, who wielded the Essence of Fire, lost to the Fire King Phoenix and was eaten by him, because of which his powers passed to Phoenix.
But no sources ever said that the King of Giants called himself Phoenix. Everyone just concluded that that was what his name had always been.
So
He changed his race.
From an elf, he turned into a giant.
As he watched his descendants drop like flies in this war, he became disgusted with his race and just dropped them altogether!
That was easy to understand.
Still blood ties cannot be avoided.
Both the First and Third Elf Kings hated their race.
Sir Hero, King Elfheim is different. The one I love didnt abandon his race until the very end. Although Icked what he loved, he told me that I was cute! The moment I equated her husband to her father-inw, Shadow A immediately became mad.
That pathetic Elf King was lucky enough to get married, although he would never admit it himself.
I get it, so you can stop defending him now. We need to focus on making a Middle Boss out of him right now.
Although I was rewriting history (textbooks), I couldnt change too much of it.
I also couldnt reject the truth behind past events.
Since I was asked to remove the protagonist, my senior, from the story, I had to intervene.
I wasnt the First Hero, so I could change the content a little, but the result should be as close to the original as possible.
The Five Great Disasters yed a key role in this story.
Since he defeated them all and solved the problems they brought with them, I also needed to do it.
But at the moment, on the Southern and Western Continents, representatives of those monstrous beings hadnt even appeared yet.
At this point, there was only one answer.
Hey, can you change races?
The First Elf King rolled his eyes as he replied.
No. If I could, I wouldve done it already.
Hmm
It seemed true that he lost to the Giant King and was eaten by him, but did this mean that he survived and took possession of his opponents body?
I had to consult the system.
? Exnation: Its impossible to know. The truth is that the Giant King swallowed the Elf King, who didnt die even after receiving mortal wounds. But in the records, there is no information about which of them became the Fire King Phoenix.
Yeah. Thanks for the unhelpful exnation.
Ill have to check for myself, then.
Kh?!
Spreading the wings of the righteous hero, I grabbed the First Elf King by the neck and flew to the giantsir.
It wasnt hard to find the Giant King.
Among the humongous warriors, whose average height was around 8m, only one of them had grown several tens of meters.
He, like the Snow Woman, was a mutant.
But the life of the two was extremely different. The Snow Woman was an outcast, but the Giant King led his race.
Oh? Here to pick another fight, elf A human? No, judging by the hideous wings on your back, are you a demon?
Im not a demon, but a righteous hero! I immediately shouted back, correcting his misunderstanding.
Hero? Is there a race that I dont know about? Well, there are many small races. Come on then, little one. Attack me.
The giants around us began to run away the moment they heard those words.
Even if they were called giants, not all of them wererge in size.
There were only men in their race, so they could only reproduce with the help of female humans.
The race of a child born in such a union was determined by gender. Those born as males were giants, while those born females were humans.
During early adulthood, giants werent particrly different from humans.
But then the women would stop growing, contrary to the men, who would only keep getting bigger and taller until the end of their lives.
Therefore, giants didnt have any particr height.
They often reached a point where it was uncertain whether they were growing or not, but they were already pretty much near their deaths by then.
The Giant King was several times taller than the rest, and his body wasrger, but he wasnt an immortal. Like the rest of his kind, he had reached the twilight of his years.
He had a gray beard, and due to theck of suitable clothing, his entire body was on disy.
But even at his age, he managed to maintain a muscr body.
Therefore, no one had yet seeded in taking the throne from him.
The chieftain has decided to start a fight again!
Run!
You wouldnt want to get into the kings way!
Not wanting to be involved in this battle, the giants embraced their families with their huge arms and fled in different directions.
What was a family to a giant?
It was a woman taking care of children.
There were almost no natural alliances between giants and humans. They mostly just raided viges and stole women. However, theyter became extremely loyal to their wife and kids.
They were only like that with women.
They didnt stand in ceremonies for men since they couldnt give them children. Instead, they simply crushed them like ants.
Hey, Giant King.
Dont think you can surrender. I do not save the lives of those who challenge me. Only my wife was an exception, but she was really strong and gave me many strong heirs before she left. The colossal monster began to prepare forbat, taking off his beads made of human bones and giving them to another giant.
It looked like the skeleton of a woman Most likely the bones of his deceased wife.
The Giant King wasnt like the Fire Phoenix King I knew.
Gray hair and deep wrinkles.
A wise look that suited his appearance.
It was difficult to see vanity in him. It was still too early to judge, though, considering all we had done so far was talk. Regardless, he didnt treat women like cattle.
He was like the other giants.
Dont you want to live a longer life? I asked, shaking the Elf Kings vertebrae in front of him.
Rumors had it that if he ate this elf, he would most likely gain immortality.
Little Hero, if youre not going to give up, then stop talking. Come at me.
With one hand, he grabbed his huge club with ease.
And without dy, he immediately began to swing it.
A powerful gust blew with just a single attack from him.
If the Wind Spirit King, who settled in my armpits, didnt use his children, then my body wouldve been blown away by this wind.
It was ridiculous.
Youre ignoring me because Im smaller, but youre nothingpared to my dear friend.
It was nonsensical topare him to the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. In size, he was closer to Green Cake.
But my adopted son wasnt in this era.
He stayed with Saintess C at the Holy Mon Empire of the present timeline, sending me regr reports about the countrys situation.
It would be easy to call him over, but sending him back would be difficult.
Ill show you somebody of your own size. Come, Captain Fantasy!
Wow!
Captain Fantasy hadnt changed in the least since the time he held Ssosia in his hands.
Wh-what?! What is that The Giant King shouted in surprise, falling backward.
The volcano, which was the symbol of the Southern Continent, split in two.
Standing quickly, he swung his club.
But he couldnt do anything against Captain Fantasys stic skin.
In addition, he was losing in size.
He was at the level of the babys thighs.
He stepped back in panic. He had only ever fought against creatures smaller than him before he met the humongous kid. I noticed fear beginning to embrace his words.
Where did such a ridiculous childe from
Captain Fantasy answered the Giant Kings question in a philosophical way.
Whoa!
Like the words of wise men, a lot of meaning was hidden behind that phrase.
I gave the First Elf King to the advancing child and pointed to the deranged Giant King.
Feed this expired item to that giant.
Woah? Weeee!
Hey! Why did you swallow him? Spit him out! Now!
Because of childrens curiosity, only safe things can be given to them. Men never look after their own kids The married woman scolded me with a shrug, but I didnt have time to get angry right now.
What should I do now?
We screwed up
The First Elf King, capable of controlling fire, went into Captain Fantasys belly.
Chapter 244 - [13th Round] Big Fairy, Little Fairy
Chapter 244 - [13th Round] Big Fairy, Little Fairy
Oh no.
I didnt know how to approach this situation, but Captain Fantasy seemed to be satisfied.
Even after ingesting the First Elf King, an extremely unhealthy food, he seemed to have escaped indigestion.
On the contrary
Ooh!
He burped, showing that he digested him well!
Not long after, the hair on his giant head changed from ck to red.
Soon enough, something fell out of the childs plump butt.
Thats Oh, my God.
For the first time in my life, I saw Captain Fantasy go to the toilet.
What fell to the ground showed signs of life, however.
Ahem
I thought the love of the universe had already left me, but it didnt.
The First Elf King, spilling out of Captain Fantasys butt, was perfectly fine. However, he had lost an extremely important trait.
? Race: Royal Elf
? Level: 1
? Job: Unemployed (110% experience)
? Skills: Patience Z, Interpretation A
? Status: Confused, Panicking
His body was unharmed, but his experience points and skills were gone.
Only Z-rank Patience remained, but that skill was probably trained while he was going through the babys digestive system, so I had to leave that out of the discussion.
I looked at Captain Fantasy again.
Youre doing great.
He absorbed all the good nutrients and got rid of the waste.
Ooh!
Bright red wings grew on Captain Fantasys back as heughed hysterically.
They were huge, just the right size for his body.
But he could have burned the entire Southern Continent!
His wings were different from what Id seen from the Five Great Disasters or the First Elf King. As soon as he pped them, the temperature around him immediately rose, and the grass and trees in our vicinity immediately dried out.
Hot!
Thats scary!
Hes way too huge!
The giants, who had be nothing more than weak little creatures in Captain Fantasys presence, ran away without ever looking back.
The Giant King wanted to do the same, but I still had business with him, so I couldnt just let him go.
W-what do you want?
Eat, I said, pointing to the First Elf King.
He had lost his incinerating capabilities, but he was still valuable since he could extend the life of the old Giant King.
Giants grew for as long as they lived, and elves had no life span limit.
Their growth would theoretically be infinite with their racial traitsbined.
One could only grow through leveling up inputer games, but they couldnt ignore weight ss and size in real life.
My dear friend Noebius could boast of both.
Dont insult me! You want me to eat that kids sh*t?! I would rather you kill me now!
Ooh!
Disgruntled, Fantasy Captain forcibly shoved the First Elf King into the Giant Kings mouth.
Yes, the First Elf King could indeed be called crap without any useful substances, but he did seem to retain something.
The colossal monster, who had deep wrinkles, became younger in an instant. But there was a side effect.
Argh! Get out of my head! No, this is my body! What are you talking about? I am the Elf King or the Giant King? My beloved wife and children I have none of that! Get out of here! You get out of here! Aaaaghhh!
Clutching his head with both hands and falling to the ground, the Giant King began to mutter incoherently to himself.
Did he develop a Split-Personality Disorder?
Well, that aside, at least their fusion seemed to have gone well.
He doesnt look well at all, Drug Hero
Im fine with that.
He was huge. Hence, he could still rule the giants.
Even though he couldnt be the Fire King, he was still the Giant King. Minor errors like that couldnt be avoided right?
? Humility: It cant be helped Theres not much time left until he starts the war, and besides, there are no other candidates for the Great Disaster position, so well leave it at that. Theres just some doubt as to whether hell be as strong as his original version was.
You dont need to worry about that. Like I said, leave everything to me.
Im a good teacher.
I wasnt certified, though.
The only problem was our size difference, but Captain Fantasy could help with that.
Ooh.
We would make a great viin out of him together!
***
It would be nice if things worked out the way we nned, but no matter how good of a teacher I was, if the student couldnt do everything I told him to do, the results would be negligible.
Because of that, I was forced to spend about a year in the south.
My educational program epassed more than just the Giant King.
I turned a huge volcano into a forge for the production of the iron armor and weapons that the giants would use. I then taught them how to fight properly and how to effectively use their colossal bodies.
The hardest part was introducing flush toilets.
Sizing them up was no problem, but the amount of excrement they produced was excessive.
Just when I was about to give up, the love of the universe helped me find a solution.
The giants mostly fed on sea monsters, so their excrement, after some processing, would dry out and be as strong as steel.
Noticing that, I organized a massive construction business, ordering the construction of high fortress walls and dams!
There was little progress in the beginning, but as their wastes piled up, our efforts soon resulted in an ample supply of building materials.
Myst engineering project was a huge fish farm.
I chose fishery over farming, considering thetter wouldnt be able to handle the giants needs.
For that to happen, however, a path had to be created that was shallow enough to reach the middle of the sea on foot.
That required hard physicalbor for an indefinite amount of time.
But that doesnt concern me.
After all, I wouldnt personally do it.
I focused on countering the fact that Phoenix, within which the King of Elves and the King of Giants were united, was so weak.
He should at least be able to defeat the heroes who would attack him.
Hence, I tried to develop his entire race as best as I could as a solution.
I already had experience bing an emperor and building a huge empire, making this task less difficult.
Sir Hero, arent they developing too fast? Shadow A interfered with my ns.
Im scolded when I work slowly, scolded when I work fast. Why do you keep picking on me?
I just think the giants will take over the world if things continue at this rate.
Oh, you dont have to worry about that.
The moment my dear friend, the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, exhaled even just a little, there would be no traces left of them.
Not everything in the world could be achieved by time and effort alone.
Phoenix, who couldnt grow stronger no matter how well I trained him, was a good example.
How much longer is this hell going tost?!
My gentle training was nothingpared to Sword King Alexs brutal training, but Phoenix still couldnt keep up with its pace.
My program wasnt even that difficult.
Is it so hard to run onep around the mountain with Captain Fantasy on your back?
Urghh
Phoenix, spitting blood, began toin about how impossible my demands were.
Do you know how huge that mountain is! And this baby weighs more than all the giants put together!
Thats because hes tough!
Whoo! Whoo!
We certainly didnt get the result we wanted, but I couldnt waste time here anymore.
It was time to go to the Eastern Continent, then fight my dearrade and father-inw in the Central Continent.
I had spent too much time on the Southern Continent.
Great Child King, a group calling themselves the representatives of the elven people has arrived, Reported the giant chosen as his steward.
Captain Fantasy was much bigger and stronger than Phoenix, so it was only natural that he became the Giant King for the time being. I was in charge of his practical duties.
Hey, youve been visited.
Uuhh.
Their infant ruler always only had one answer.
Tell them toe in.
Ouhh.
I would provide the orders, and Captain Fantasy would allow it. That was what we had been doing up to this point.
Lately, since other countries had recognized us, we had been receiving frequent visits from other nations.
Oh! Princesses from neighboring human states were also here now.
At first, their faces were grim, as if they were being dragged to a penal colony, but after they used the flush toilet, the expression on their faces immediately changed.
However, this was the first time the elves hade.
I was just about to leave
? Intervention: If this keeps up, the story will change altogether. If you look at the course of real history, you can see that the threat from the giants is necessary for the elves to establish their own state. With the help of the Hero, the Third Elf King should have defeated the Fire King Phoenix and gained recognition from neighboring countries, through which he would have built a kingdom of elves, but because of your perfect rule, that chance has been missed.
I understood what the system was trying to tell me.
For the pathetic Third Elf King to build a country for the elves, he needed outside help?
Well, that sounded reasonable. I was just generally surprised by the fact that the elven race wasnt already extinct.
From the perspective of this eras people, they looked like clever monkeys trying to build a nation.
Sir Hero, do you hate me that much? Shadow A began to talk nonsense all of a sudden.
If an aunt I saw every day asked a question like that, what was I supposed to answer?
As always, I answered honestly.
Am I attractive as a woman?
Do you really have to ask me that? Whats important is that the man you love thinks you are beautiful.
I know that
At that moment, the messengers of the elves came in and admired the majestic building that was built of excrement.
I looked at the leader of the group.
As soon as I saw his face, I was immediately annoyed.
It is an honor to meet you, Child King, respected by all giants. My name is Elfheim Khan Lanuverk, and I am the temporary leader of our race. I wish for us to forget the war between the giants and the elves and live for the peace and prosperity of both Huh?!
Master Elfheim!
Shadow A rushed forward at breakneck speed with her pupils shaped like hearts and embraced the future Elf King.
Madam! If youd be so Its hard for me Wait Ohhh.
It was hard to understand the pathetic Elf Kings words since his head was sandwiched between Shadow As breasts, but it didnt take long for him to stop resisting rigorously.
However, some werent happy about this development.
Madam! Let go of my Elfheim now! A female elf hissed like a cat defending its territory.
Why did she look familiar?
Everything but her breasts
Y-You?!
I am the wife of Master Elfheim!
You are but a pretender! Give him to me for the night.
What?! How dare you seduce him with your breasts! Theyre not even real!
What are you talking about?!
Adult Shadow A started a fight with a younger version of herself.
Because of them, the diplomatic talk was relegated to the back burner.
Looks like its time to head to the Eastern Continent.
Uouhh.
I agree as well, Drug Hero.
Here, a feather.
I left the future of Fantasys Southern Continent to that pathetic family of elves!
Chapter 245 - [13th Round] Good Age
Chapter 245 - [13th Round] Good Age
Fantasys Eastern Continent consisted of fourrge inds and many smaller ones.
All of its cities were ports, and thend here was used exclusively for agriculture, so battles were strictly prohibited.
But it wasnt as peaceful as everyone hoped.
Mercenaries, pirates, bounty hunters, ve traders The Eastern Continent was awless zone where all kinds of individuals gathered.
Many went missing or drowned in the sea, and lots of men died in the pursuit of their dream to be some kind of Pirate King.
Because of mermaids, known to hunt men, their numbers decreased even more, creating the need to bring ves into this ce from other continents.
Elves were the mostmon trade goods, considering mermaids didnt chase after them.
As a result
? Race: Half-Elf
? Level: 455
? Job: Fisherman (Fishing Luck )
? Skills: Fishing D, Nets E, Physical Strength E, Sailing E, Luck F
? Status: Good
Such beings weremon here.
Ordinary elves were weak and couldnt stand long sea voyages, but the generation that followed them, born from the coption of elves and humans, was different.
Mermaids didnt kidnap them, and their physique was no worse than that of humans.
Their elven blood also gave them long lifespans.
Therefore, fishermen here shouldnt be underestimated.
These half-blood individuals were stronger than most knights since they umted experience by catching fishes and small monsters, ultimately resulting in their high levels.
Well, that anomalous fisherman should be enough proof that weve arrived at our destination.
If we sailed through the seas, getting to the Eastern Continent from the Southern Continent wouldve taken a month. That time was reduced to a second, all thanks to the Snow Womans feather.
Wholl be taking care of the Snow Woman now, Drug Hero?
You, of course.
I had a feeling youd say that
The First Spirit didnt argue with me or refused my order. She wouldnt attend to her personally anyway.
Her children would be the ones doing those tasks for her.
There was no ss hierarchy worse than the one used by the spirits pretending to be innocent.
Their ranks started from the lowest, followed by middle, advanced, highest, and king. At the top was the Addicted Spirit!
I was really curious about how the lowest ranked have not yet killed themselves doing the dirty work assigned to those of a higher rank.
Theres no dissatisfaction among the spirits, Drug Hero.
Youre just shameless.
Im not. Dont you know how much I love my children?
So you seriously dont even realize what youre doing is wrong.
Having dealt with who would look after the Snow Woman, we decided to determine our exact location.
I used the local spirits this time as well.
The inferior spirits, working diligently under the guidance of their higher-ranking butzy fellow spirits, impressed me with their detailed reports, which was no worse than a presentation at a meeting of somergepany.
With the help of the mutated harpys feather, we arrived at thergest ind of the Eastern Continent, located in the very east, which I called Ind E.
Then whats the name of the western ind, Drug Hero?
Ind W.
And the one in the north?
Ind N.
And the ind in the south
Ind S, stupid spirit. You should stop testing a hero with 65 years of experience. There are no ws in my encyclopedia.
Due to its geographical location, it was difficult to trade with other continents. Colossal sea monsters also lived around it, so even pirates kept away from Ind E.
And it also had lots of high-level inhabitants.
Long life, diligence, and a perfect body!
This ce best showcased the greatness of the half-breeds, born from the union of an elf and a human, having absorbed the best of both races.
Many dragons also live here.
Theres no need to pass off the information that your children told you as if youre the one who found out about it, shameless spirit.
Hmph! We are a family. Isnt it only natural for family members to share information and knowledge?
Dont try to justify your shameless nature.
Many sea dragons lived here.
All the blue-haired half-breeds living in this region were polymorphic dragons.
They thought they were perfectly disguised and couldnt be recognized, but themon gic mixtures here didnt give their offspring blue hair.
However, I couldnt deny that if a child were born to a woman and a blue dragon, then in the future, there was a chance that hed build a nation whose royal family members would have that hair color.
But that was highly unlikely.
That couldnt bemon.
Hmm. Am I too hasty?
In the present timeline, the dragons, having been taught a lesson by the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, almost no longer interfered in peoples lives.
But we were back in the distant past.
Dragons didnt hesitate to participate in the life of other races here.
We definitely arrived early. It took the First Hero 11 years to get here. During that time, he came across multiple dragons. Red, blue, yellow, gold, brown, blue, green, ck, purple, silver, tinum
The point was he met many dragons.
Even now, I found two dragons just by looking around.
? Race: Blue Dragon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Cook (Exp Cooking )
? Skills: Breathing Z, Cooking Z, Magic MAX, Sea MAX, Transformation MAX
? Status: Interest, Observation, Transformation
What a pity.
If I didnt need to control my level for the love of the universe, I would have already destroyed their vertebrae.
The fact that I couldnt take advantage of their vulnerability while they were in such weak bodies annoyed me.
Wee, strangers, The blue-haired dragon said, still pretending to be human.
Ah! Its nice to meet you.
Kh?!
Hmm?
It seemed that my hand slipped during the handshake.
A dragon with a broken neck fell to the ground.
? Confusion: Cadet Kang Han Soo, didnt you say youd leave them alone?
This is a misunderstanding, Trainee Teacher!
I wanted to pretend not to notice and leave them alone, but instead of his hand, I grabbed him by the throat.
At least he gave me good experience points.
My friend!
Hes no ordinary person!
How can you do that to an innocent civilian
I just killed one dragon by mistake, but everyone was already making so much ruckus.
I exined everything logically.
Dear residents, there is no need to make a fuss. I just dealt with an evil dragon pretending to be a decent person. Here! Take a look. He, like any other monster, didnt leave a corpse after death.
He was my friend!
He was going to lead our wedding ceremony!
Stop this madness already!
Admit your guilt, stranger!
Hmm. Was it because I was in a different era now?
? Exnation: The dragons reputations highly differed before and after the Supreme Dragon of Oblivions actions. In this era, dragons are active defenders of cities and countries, giving them a good image. It is different from the present, where, except for the evil dragons, all they do is hide or doze off.
Tsk. Thanks for thete exnation, stupid system.
Stupid Ahem. Dear locals, the dishonest dragons are deceiving you! To preserve their position as defenders, they deliberately avoid ying Malfart the Cursed King, whos been living on Ind S all this time. If they really cared about you, they wouldve already dealt with her
Fraud!
Whos Malfart?
I dont know. Do you?
No. Thats most likely another lie.
My blood pressure began to rise.
Hey!
? Exnation: The Great Disaster of the Eastern Continent, Malfart, lives quietly with the dwarves on the southernmost ind. No one knew she was a dragon until her boyfriend, an ugly dwarf, died from overwork.
Death by overwork? When did that happen?
? Exnation: When she visited the dwarven ind.
The First Hero again?
As befitted the main character, this ce wasnt without his influence either.
In any case
Stop suspecting me, residents. If Im deceiving you, then meteorites shall start falling from the sky! Look. They didnt fall, did they?
Boooo!
Deceiver!
Provide real evidence!
What a freak! Admit your guilt!
My patience was running out. I tried to convince them, but the situation only got worse.
The reason was simple.
They thought I had no proof.
Okay. As you all demand, Ill provide evidence. Lets do the opposite. If Im telling the truth, then let meteorites fall from the sky.
Boooo!
Swindler!
Stop lyinghuh?
Meteorites really are falling!
FSH BANG!
Before they could finish their protest, meteorites began to pour from the reddened sky like a hailstorm.
The universe responded to my words with express delivery.
And she wasnt stingy about it.
Bam! BOOM! BRRR!
If only one or two meteorites fell on the city, then everyone would think that wizards were the ones behind it.
The President of the Universe, sincerely loving me, knew that very well.
Therefore, Ind E was almostpletely destroyed.
Bluoooo!
Bluooooo?!
Bluooooooo!
The vile pretenders showed their true appearance and tried to stop the meteor shower, but even they were helpless against the love of the universe.
Realizing that there was nothing they could do, the dragons simply fled.
My turn hade.
My legion!
I was righteous and had 65 years of experience, so I didnt rank spirits as the First Spirit did.
All spirits working for me were equal.
All the local spirits of the Eastern Continent answered my call at once.
My orders,bined with the unique power of the First Spirit that I got through the paired rings, were absolute!
The wind spirits changed the trajectory of the meteorites and sent them into the sea.
The water spirits calmed the tsunami caused by the impact, and the earth spirits repaired thends damaged by meteorite debris.
The soul spirits calmed the frightened residents and animals, and as a bonus, they stimted their desire to reproduce to recover from their losses.
Troooo?
Ku-Ku?!
Bluoooo!
The fire spirits, strengthened by the heat of the meteorites, united and drove the remaining monsters and dastardly dragons from the ind.
Everything went ording to n!
Dear locals, are you okay? I asked, putting on a smile that befitted the Righteous Hero.
But the locals didnt even look in my direction. They were too busy with thoughts of repopting the ind.
Divided into groups of one man and three women, they headed to dark, secluded ces.
Hey! Show a little diligence. Fix their hormones.
The Soul Spirit King, who hugged my treasure with both arms and legs, pouted in response to my remark, showing displeasure.
What? Dont like working hard?
Do you understand me now, Drug Hero? Spirits arezy by nature!
Nobody asked you.
Ind Esndscape changed dramatically.
The coast, where the meteorites fell, turned into cultivatednd, and thanks to the river flowing into the crater, ake and reservoir were formed.
That wasnt the end of it.
Meteorites contained minerals.
It was dested right now, but there would soon be a green area where it would be possible to extract these same minerals.
Hmm its time for me to prepare for retirement.
Someday I will end this kind of life and retire.
If I bought a plot in this ce now, then when I came back, I would ownrge assets.
Drug Hero, what the hell are you talking about?
You probably dont understand, but Im not just talking nonsense. My mental age is already 85 years old.
Its a good age to think about real estate.
Chapter 246 - [13th Round] Stress
Chapter 246 - [13th Round] Stress
? Intervention: It looks like youll have to postpone preparing for retirement untilter, Hero. The genocide you caused is beyondmon sense and cannot be justified even by making changes and adjustments. All progress will be overwritten from scratch.
What?! Wait! My hand just slipped!
? Analysis: Your adventures were excellent before arriving on the Eastern Continent. However, the incident that just took ce is so fatal that it crossed out all of your achievements and previously earned reputation. Launching the regression process now
Wait. If you force me to start all over again, then Ill give up this venture altogether and go straight to Earth.
That was no empty threat.
Until now, due to the system and teachers who could read minds, I had been hiding it, but I had a trump card up my sleeve.
Factoria.
During the festival, I gave her a special bracelet and told her to return to Earth to connect with my home.
Thanks to this connection, I could return to Earth, and once I did, I could no longer be kidnapped.
I now had the strength to reject the forced spatial discement.
What do you say to that, you damn system?
? Calction: Analyzing data rted to the festival
The light of spatial movement that enveloped my body immediately disappeared.
? Conclusion: The Heros words have been proven true. How can you justify what happened?
I didnt think I would be forced to use my trump card, which I wanted to hide until the very end, but I couldnt help it.
Northern, Western, and Southern Continents.
Too much time had been spent on those three.
I had put in a lot of effort to promote flush toilets, show the locals how to use septic tanks, and train foolish wizards and inventors.
I didnt want to do it all over again.
So listen carefully, system.
The blue dragon that caused the problem was trying to charm me by pretending to shake my hand, and I instinctively reacted to it, causing my hand to slip.
And that wasnt a made-up scenario.
The dragon really tried to examine me with magic.
? Judgment: That falls within the eptable range of self-defense, but that cannot be used as the reason behind your subsequent genocide.
Thats not fair!
Before that happened, I first told them that meteorites would start falling from the sky if I were deceiving them. However, the stupid locals didnt believe me and even started to use me of unreasonable use of force.
Therefore, I was forced to rephrase what I said to convince them, due to which meteorites began to fall from the sky.
They brought the trouble to themselves.
Lets be honest. I havent killed a single person on the Eastern Continent in this era. You cannot punish me for what happened to the random natural disaster victims.
On the contrary, I tried to save them.
Instead of ipetent hypocrites (dragons) who fled by themselves since they couldnt stop the disaster, I protected the Eastern Continent with the help of spirits!
What other proof do you need?
? Analysis: Searching for errors in that logic
Ha! My logic is perfect.
? Conclusion: Regression is inevitable.
Why?!
? Reason: Your logic is subjective. If only the locals who med you were hurt, you could try to justify it. However, this incident affected many innocent lives that had nothing to do with the entire situation. Youmitted a crime that heroes should nevermit.
Do you have proof that I was the cause of the natural disaster?
? Rebuttal: No. However, your very act of praying with the desire for meteorites to fall is undeniable. Failure to provide assistance is also a crime. You watched the dragons attempt to stop the meteorites and waited for their retreat.
There was no usation imaginable that was more stupid than that!
If someone else were in my shoes, they wouldnt have been able to stop the meteorites at all.
If procrastination was a sin, then what about mypanions who had killed many people while they were throwing time-wasting parties?
If they diligently performed their duties, we would have saved even more residents.
ording to your logic, this should also be a crime.
You should stop, Drug Hero. The system cant be persuaded. If it were possible, I would
I dont care.
If I couldnt convince the system, then I would just flee to Earth. If they wanted me toe back amicably, then they should convince me ordingly.
Hey system, what are you going to do?
? Calction: Eliminating logical contradictions
Seek as much as you want, but there are no contradictions.
? Conclusion: Rest is important for the Heros party, so this cannot be equated with not providing assistance. However, another conclusion follows this, recognized as the fault of the Goddess of Fantasy, an auxiliary system that assists the Hero throughout his adventure. From the first day of your adventure, you have not rested a day. Negligence in the support system is tantamount to not providing assistance. This led to a build-up of stress.
The systems findings far exceeded my expectations.
Is it all about stress?
? Confirmation: Stress was the cause of this incident. This is an error of the auxiliary system, which failed to notice such a factor earlier. Instead of regression, an alternative option will be implemented.
After that, the system went silent.
Soon enough
(Im sorry, Hero!)
The Goddess of Fantasy appeared, who could be called the personification of the system.
(All I can say to excuse my shorings is that there were no such heroes before your appearance. They rested when they needed it without any intervention. This has not happened before. I apologize again.)
Dear Goddess, I assume an apology wont be the end of it?
(Of course! But before that, we must deal with the situation first. Even though this was my mistake, the me will still fall on the shoulders of the Hero. It is impossible to continue the adventure as if nothing had happened.)
Drug Hero, you really managed to convince the stubborn system I think Ill never stop respecting you.
Right. Respect me properly.
I didnt even think it would turn out that way.
Stress? It was unexpected.
(Dont underestimate it. Stress is the source of all diseases. There is a way to resolve this situation and the issue of your vacation. The biggest problem is the innocent locals who died in the natural disaster. If we bring them all back to life, I think well be able to solve this predicament.)
I also thought about it.
I could bring back to life all the inhabitants who died on Ind E by summoning Saintess H, who acted as my representative in the present era.
Why did the system decide to resort to regression instead ofing to such a decision?
? Denial: There are no saints in this age. Hence, you cannot use resurrection. However, there is another option. High-ranking demons have the ability to reincarnate other races into demons.
A high-level demon The Demon Lord?
? Error: Your standards are too high. Pursuant to paragraph 8 of Article 4 of the Emergency Measures, the ownership of the first-ss prisoner Ssosia will be permanently transferred to Kang Han Soo, the chairman of the Emergency Response Committee. If you agree with this decision, say confirm.
First-ss prisoner.
Ssosia, the developer of the system, said that she was betrayed and imprisoned by the First Angel, who was one of her investors.
And they were going to free her out of there just like that?
The First Angel would unlikely be pleased by that.
I confirm.
But I didnt care.
? Confirmation: The transfer of ownership of first-ss prisoner Ssosia isplete. She can be summoned immediately, but she was moved and imprisoned to a certain location for the sake of the events continuity. ording to the script, she was sealed in a gem after confronting her father, the Demon Lord. You can go there and pick her up.
As much as this system bothered me, it still gave me a way out of the situation.
Had the property really passed into my hands?
I immediately learned Ssosias whereabouts just by thinking about it.
Okay, lets finish this quickly.
The system said that I had umted stress.
Over the past four years, Boris had served me as a heating pad, helping me drive away the cold nights. Still, the stress umted by the cowardly demoness stabbing my back with a knife grew like a snowball daily, withpound interest ruing.
It was time to get rid of that stress.
Drug Hero, this cemetery is suspicious.
Yes, very much so.
Ssosia was sealed in a graveyard on the citys outskirts, where stupid locals who criticized the Righteous Hero lived.
Poor people made small donations to nearby temples and returned the bodies of the dead to nature. Wealthy merchants and families, on the other hand, erected imposing monuments and crypts in such cemeteries.
Stop! Youre that stranger
Do you want to shake hands too?
Hearing my friendly offer, the dragon pretending to be the steward of the cemetery immediately stopped his resistance.
What do you need?
I came to see a cowardly a faithfulpanion.
Apanion? This is thest refuge for the local townspeople. If yourpanion is from this city, say his name. Then I will take you to him.
Not necessary.
I went to the crypt in the center of the cemetery.
It only had one entrance. Its structure was reminiscent of a country toilet, with a series of steps outside the door leading into a dark basement.
My instincts whispered that Ssosia was inside.
Stop! Dont you dare defile the dead! You Kh-akh?!
Do you want me to desecrate you?
The dragons who had escaped from the falling meteorites began to gather around in human form one after another.
They obviously didnt want to let me go.
But herniated discs quickly broke their resolve.
Where did this monstere from
Are you even human?
Agh! My back
They attempted to flood the crypt as ast resort, but their dastardly strategy failed when the Earth Spirit King protected me.
Out of desperation, they took on their dragonian forms and tried to block my path.
Regardless, their attempts were still in vain.
Their transformations were far from Noebiuss. All they gained was a slight change in appearance.
They just became bipedal beings with horns and wings.
Was that a joke?
I was silent because I didnt want toplicate matters by denying the systems judgment, which believed that my actions were caused by stress, but in fact, I just didnt like the dragon race.
I soon went down to the crypt and found that it wasnt dark at all.
Its interior resembled a hotel lobby without windows. Its beautiful, magnificent interior decoration andrge space were definitely surprisingly striking.
From the lobby, there were multiple corridors that led to different directions.
Hey, where are the bodies that I was supposedly going to desecrate?
The dragon, which I delicately held by the neck, didnt answer.
Upon closer examination, I concluded that this was a nest in which many dragons lived.
In the modern era, such mon nests have practically disappeared.
My dear friend Noebius killed most of his kind, leaving many empty nests, ultimately eliminating the need to live together.
Sir Hero, there are so many treasures here!
The curious Snow Woman, who lived in the wizards house her whole life and visited only the small town near it, roamed the dragon dwelling without fear.
And there are a lot of people too!
Of course.
Dragons werent only interested in precious stones.
Anyone could get any number of gems by digging through the ground, but in a whole century, they could only find one or two of the rarest treasures: heroes.
Their rarity was iparable with jewelry.
Hence, they became one of the collectibles that dragons hoarded.
There must be mutant monsters like you here.
That was also why Eshinoff, the evil dragon of the Northern Continent, kidnapped the Snow Woman.
If she were an ordinary harpy, he wouldnt even have looked at her.
The same was true of Sleas, the main culprit behind the presents global warming. That Ice Dragon created a cool paradise in the middle of the desert and invited the heroes there.
All of that was to keep the rarest treasures to ever exist nearby.
Sir Hero, can I free them?
How will you do that without hands?
Uhh I can find them all, and Sir Hero will lend a helping hand Ouch!
If you keep talking, Ill turn you into a fried chicken.
I didnte here for the dragons hobby. I only needed one thing.
I entered the vault, which was full of jewelry.
Shes really here.
Where?
The cowardly demoness slept peacefully in a huge hexagonal amethyst.
She didnt yet know what fate awaited her.
Ah, here she is. My vacation.
I already felt like I had gotten rid of a lot of stress.
So I didnt get it.
My father said that he could only rest properly while his mother wasnt home. Why was it the other way around for me?
Chapter 247 - [13th Round] Hero’s Guide
Chapter 247 - [13th Round] Heros Guide
How beautiful, The Snow Womans eyes twinkled. She had no contact with the world outside the small town, so her reaction was only natural.
As she said, Ssosia did have an outstanding, even diabolical appearance.
But that was a matter of taste.
There was great power behind her beauty.
Dont let yourself be fooled. Shes an extremely vicious woman.
I still hadnt forgotten.
Ssosia used very insidious tactics, even distracting her opponent with her oversized chest, from which even the Holy Sword bounced off. Only then would she attack.
Even now that I had gained confidence that they could no longer distract me due to our nightly sessions, at times, I still got carelessly distracted.
? A fair reminder: Dont let her know that you know her.
Our marriage was notarized by the Demon Lord and the First Spirit in the present era, but we were now in the past.
She and I were strangers.
As the system said, I needed to pretend this was our first meeting, which was annoying.
Wait. Wouldnt this be a script error?
Why would I save a woman Id never seen before?
She could be an evil demon sealed for her crimes or perhaps for being too powerful and dangerous.
Of course, I knew she wasnt dangerous at all.
But in this situation, I had to pretend I didnt know her.
? Exnation: Male heroes can save beautifuldies, and female heroes can save handsome men for no particr reason. You can also just save her since shes alive
I didnt like this silly scenario.
? Error: The reason for your dissatisfaction is not clear.
Did she deserve to be saved just because she was beautiful? She was a vile woman.
Judging someone by their looks was wrong.
Even beautiful girls could be greedy and obstinate.
I realized how important my role was when the system made concessions and made me the chairman of the Emergency Response Committee.
In the future, I would be the role model of new heroes.
My current adventure would serve as a guide and textbook for my junior colleagues, as was the case with The First Hero.
I had to take this chance.
I could break and rebuild a failed education system that criticized my personality and gave it a low rating even though there was a reason for all my actions.
The proliferation of flush toilets, the cultural revolution of giants, and the Eastern Continents massacre.
Stress? Ha!
Compared to my 1st round, this was nothing.
In the future of Fantasy, flush toilets would be widespread, and clever wizards would be saved from cunning women.
The Southern Continent wouldnt be affected by global warming, and devious dragons wouldnt be able to pretend to be human.
There were reasons for all my actions.
And it would all show in the future.
Listen, you silly mutant harpy. Inner beauty is more important than external appearance for a woman. That demons inner beauty is distorted. Her spine is more obscenely curved in the shape of the letter S than normal spines, and her pelvis is so wide its almost as if its made for nothing but reproduction.
There were other reasons, too.
Ssosia caused terrible mental and physical pain to the men around her, even if she just breathed in their presence.
Words couldnt describe how despicable she was!
Drug Hero, Even if you say so, you still seem to care about my niece.
What are you talking about? I just keep her close to me and watch her so I can prevent her from harming other men.
I sacrificed myself to save half of humanity.
A hero was a profession in which one had to constantly sacrifice themselves for the future, after all.
You should be more honest with yourself, Drug Hero.
Silence!
How could azy, drug-addicted spirit even begin to fathom the depths of my thoughts, the Righteous Hero?
I touched the giant gem.
CRUNCH!
The amethyst, in which Ssosia was sealed, immediately cracked.
I could just call her to my side without destroying it. However, it was a necessary procedure, albeit annoying, because our rtionship in this era didnt exist yet.
The amethyst shattered, and she fell in my direction.
I took a step to the side so as not to collide with her.
Oh What happened?
Awakened by her fall on the destroyed gems rubble, she looked around blurrily until she found me.
And her expression changed in an instant.
Hello, vile demoness Ive never seen before. I am a righteous hero whos done nothing but work for years Ive spent traveling through Fantasy. I am also your benefactor who saved you from your imprisonment.
So This is our first meeting?
Exactly.
Hohoho! Nice to meet you, fair Hero! I dont know how I got here, but I am indebted to you for saving me. Fear not, for I can handle myself. Of course, in time, I will repay you in full. For now, however, I must go huh?!
No. Youll pay me now.
I gently hugged the demoness around her narrow waist, which made her gracefully bent.
Drug Hero, it seems youve broken her back.
Its not like that at all.
It was easy to mistake dislocation for fracture.
Ah, m-my dear husband. I was wrong. Let me make it up to you and get it over with. I am so sorry. Hmm? Dear?
We met today for the first time.
Tsk. She had to get the gist of the situation.
Hoho! Hero, how can you break the back of a girl you first met?
You are used of having an obscene spine.
What?! What do you even mean by that? By what criterion does my spine look obscene?!
While we were making small talk, all the dragons that lived in this underground nest had fallen with their eyes rolling.
That phenomenon was caused by the enormous amount of Dark Energy that surrounded the Second Demons body.
Her peculiarity was that she was the second in everything.
That was why she had the secondrgest amount of Dark Energy in the world. Moreover, Ssosia, the ownership of which passed into my hands, had a whole soul. She was the original.
Her skill rank was truly overwhelming.
? Race: Second Demon
? Level: 1
? Job: Unemployed (Experience 110%)
? Skills: Dark Energy GG, Charisma GG
? Status: In possession
There were only two, though.
The rest disappeared over the years or were absorbed in the transfer of ownership, and only her own unique skills remained.
She was the one who had the second-highest amount of Dark Energy and the second most attractive woman in the world.
She also had the second-highest skill rank, GG. She probably surpassed me in sheerbat power.
That was Ssosias real strength.
If the script said that she was the second strongest in this world, it would bepletely fraudulent. Hence, in order not to make her life easier, it was called a curse.
And
Hey, vile demoness, resurrect everyone who recently died on thisnd as demons.
Regardless ofbat strength, our marital rtionship was vertical, not horizontal.
I was the first, and she was the second.
Therefore, she couldnt refuse the request of her husband.
Is the Hero hinting that he wants to breed demons?
Demoness, was my gentle hug around your waist not enough? Maybe we should have a duodenal pration operation with the Holy Sword thrusting into your buttocks.
It would be beautiful!
Cowardly threats Hohoho! Im just joking. I understand everything you said. A good hero must have a flexible mindset.
She immediately fell silent, squeezing her buttocks as tightly as possible.
Dark Energy enveloped her body and was released, which then watered the dry ground like rain.
I was caught in a meteor shower
Why am I alive?
My whole body is being overwhelmed by energy!
Ah! I came back to life?!
At first, the people who had been reincarnated as demons were confused, surprised by what had happened, but they were overflowing with a sense of joy.
However, everyone soon noticed it.
Dear, horns have grown on your forehead!
What? Oh! Youre right!
Finding out that they had be demons, whom they had always considered enemies, they immediately panicked.
Their rtives were also puzzled upon discovering that they had gained horns and wings.
As expected
Ah! The evil dragons shouldnt be forgotten either.
The only good ones of their kind were the generous ones.
Those who only hoarded treasure and didnt share them with the heroes didnt deserve to live.
But I was apassionate hero.
I decided to give them a second chance.
Bloooah?!
Bluoooo
Struck by Dark Energy, the blue dragons turned ck.
And those that had been killed and returned to nature were reborn as inanimate monsters made of bones.
? Race: Skeleton Dragon
? Level: 1
? Job: Chef (Experience cooking )
? Skills: Breathing Z, Cooking Z, Dark Energy MAX, Magic MAX, Sea MAX
? Status: Addiction, Insane
The dragons killed by my hands couldnt return to their previous levels, as they had already lost their experience points to me. Still, those who died from the impact of meteorites became more powerful, considering they turned into demons.
With the advent of the Dark Energy skill, their lives had be more exciting.
And that wasnt all.
Darling, we will be together forever.
D-dont do it!
Be a demon who only looks at me.
Aaaaaah?!
They could inject Dark Energy into other people, and their ranks were determined by the amount they had of it.
In other words, their previous social status had lost its meaning.
Duchess, from now on, you will be my ve.
How dare a pathetic servant order me
Answer as you should!
I will be your ve, master!
Hahahaha! Yes! Thats it! Ive been dreaming about this for so long!
Under the influence of Ssosias powerful Dark Energy, Eastern Continents Ind E quickly fell into chaos.
Betrayals began on all sides and those who possessed a simr amount of Dark Energy engaged in fierce battles.
But I shouldnt allow this tost long.
Demoness, tell everyone to shut up.
Oh. Please shut up.
I feel like you were directing that to me.
Thats just your imagination, Hero.
With a single sentence, Ssosia quickly stopped this mayhem. She then began to distribute Dark Energy, which up to this point was divided randomly.
She endowed people with the amount of Dark Energy that corresponded to their status.
Duchess, take off your clothes and lie down in front of me.
Shut your filthy mouth!
What?! How dare you? I am your master Oh
Go back to your miserable servant life No, just jump out the window.
N-no! Aaaaaaghh!!
Human casualties increased due to the procedures side effects, but Ind Es situation, which was in chaos, soon stabilized.
But I wasnt done yet.
Give the order to sellnds cheaply to me, the Hero, whos fighting for world peace.
How can a hero be so shallow? Ssosia was appalled, which wasnt part of the demons personality.
Hey! You misunderstand my intentions.
This was by no means preparation for old age.
This was an investment in my growth as the Hero.
I didnt need to get stronger anymore. I did this since it would serve as a good guide for newbies starting from scratch.
For as long as they followed my advice, they would be powerful in no time.
This is more like the guidance of a Demon Lord
Youd better worry about your own destiny, not others lives.
I havent forgotten that day.
For years now, I have been calctingpound interest every month.
Im d my stupid father is the Demon Lord, not you. Otherwise, the world would have alreadye to an end
I, the Righteous Hero, left the warm port city, which subsequently became my property, and, grabbing the beautiful demoness by her neck, went to Ind S.
One of the Five Great Disasters, Cursed King Malfart of the Eastern Continent.
History had to repeat itself.
? Question: Can it still be repeated in this confusing situation?
Why, of course, beautiful Trainee Teacher.
The day when I would reap the fruits of my 65-years-worth of efforts was near.
Chapter 248 - [13th Round] Dwarf
Chapter 248 - [13th Round] Dwarf
As I recalled, Cursed King Malfart was a gue-like dragon. My mood worsened even when I was just next to him.
I wouldnt say he had highbat power, but he clearly saw the weaknesses of his enemies, which made him an annoying opponent.
Drug Hero, Malfart of this era is known as the Queen of Wisdom, Malfaricia. As you can tell by her name, shes a woman right now
Queen of Wisdom Malfari
Wise and beautiful Malfari?
I couldnt even imagine that!
The dragon, known to throw curses everywhere and attempted to destroy the world, was now on Ind S, where thergest number of dwarves lived.
With the help of the coordinates preserved in my memory and the feather of the Snow Woman, we instantly reached her location.
Hey, how did you get here?
And we did so with perfect timing.
I came face to face with a beautiful girl alone in a huge bathtub thatbined luxury and art.
She didnt even think of shouting or covering up herself. Instead, she simply looked at me and the dummies with an imprable expression.
But I couldnt be deceived by her calmness.
This girl was, from her flesh to her bones, a dragon. Her race had no definite gender from birth.
Hence, there was no reason for her to be embarrassed.
? Race: Brown Dragon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Seamstress (Concentration Sewing )
? Skills: Earth ZZ, Magic ZZ, Sewing ZZ, Charisma ZZ, Cooking Z
? Status: Interested
Her skills werepletely different from the Cursed King Malfart in my memories.
She seemed like she specialized not inbat but housekeeping.
Her gender was female, too. Her past and present selves had no simrities other than their brown hair, which was the hallmark of the Brown Dragon race.
? Warning: Your method of entering a member of the Five Great Disasters abode is not in line with the natural course of events. Your meeting should have been by chance while traveling. Not much time is left until you meet the next Great Disaster, so take note.
This woman seemed to be the Malfart I was looking for.
? Confirmation: That is the Cursed King Malfarts appearance before he went mad. To impress her beloved, she honed her housekeeping skills. But after she lost him, she fell into a rage and directed all efforts into maximizing herbat skills, bing apletely different person.
Apletely different person?
I disagreed with the system.
Unlike the locals who just got top-ranked skills thanks to the system, I went through fire, water, and copper pipes to rise from F to ZZZ-rank.
I had to learn and hone a lot of production skills to upgrade my Gifted skill to ZZZ.
But I could say with confidence that my nature didnt change at all.
Skills were just skills.
Moral Decline and Madness could affect emotions, but they also didnt just ur out of nowhere. They only ever appeared and grew due to certain actions and conditions.
In other words, that dragon had an extremely evil nature
Spirit, harpy, demon. What an interestingbination. If you dont mind, I would like to hear the story of your journey in my home. I will provide you with a hearty dinner and a bed for the night.
The vile dragon decided to pretend to be kind.
Okay.
Likewise, I decided to pretend that I had been tricked.
For as long as I didnt forget that she was a malevolent being, then this would be an opportunity, not a trap.
My name is Malfaricia, she introduced herself as she emerged from the bathtub and got dressed by the female mud golems.
Malfaricia
It felt like Malfarts name had been slightly changed to sound more feminine.
Malfaricia! You are beautiful as always!
Hmm! Mistress Malfaricia!
Are these your guests? d to meet you!
As soon as we left, dwarves started showing up.
Dwarves.
The race that gave up on looks and decided to focus on skill.
The tallest dwarf was less than a meter tall. Low and wide in proportion, they were ideal for working in mines.
Like the giants, they were a male-only species. Hence, to preserve it, they needed female humans who were capable of interracial reproduction.
But this was where problems arose.
Giants raided human viges to obtain women, but unlike them, dwarves didnt know how to fight. They couldnt forcibly take females away from powerful males.
Instead
Amazing I burst out.
It wasnt the dwarves that amazed me.
It was the buildings they built. They were allparable to works of art.
But even more amazing than those were their weapons: their craftsmanship.
They couldnt abduct a woman by force, but they could win her heart with a beautiful ring or ne.
It sounded like the strategies of aristocrats, but for dwarves, it was a battle for survival.
Therefore, all things created by them had a soul, like the literary heritage of some artists.
Be careful not to get lost here. This is a dwarven city. Those who visit this ce for the first time often stare around, causing them to quickly fall behind and get lost, Malfariciaughed as she walked in front of us.
That wasnt just a warning.
The Snow Woman almost fainted because of the magnificence of this ce. If the low-ranking spirits didnt take care of her, she would have already been kidnapped by the dwarves and beautifully divided into parts.
Brisket, wings, legs, ribs
As I said, Ind S was a dwarf country.
But this ce wasnt theirst bastion after being driven out by humans, as it happened with the elves.
Dwarven craftsmanship was like the goose thaty golden eggs, considering they still worked hard like ves even after getting married.
Their country was more like an academy.
Because no matter how gifted one was, self-study had a limit. Dwarves came to this Dwarf Sanctuary to learn new techniques from their ancestors and teachers, create even more beautiful works of art, or meet their other halves.
Naturally, like any state, it had its own ruler.
Is this the royal pce?
No. This is my home, but the royal pce is nearby.
Looking at the spot Malfari was pointing at, I suppressed a grin.
She boasted of living in a house that was more luxurious than a royal pce.
Throughout her home, I could see the pride of a dragon that didnt like to lose, no matter what. It made me think how many dwarves shed sweat and tears to build it
Oh! Miss Malfaricia! Youre early today!
Look! I redid the windows. Now theyre even better!
Come see the fountain I made!
Ive been building this especially for you for a month now.
From all sides, dwarves came running as fast as their short legs allowed and began to brag about their creations, talking over each other.
There werent just one or two dwarves here.
From the garden to the chimney of the house, there was no ce left without them.
Thank you so much, everyone, for being so caring towards me. I want to inspect everyones gift right now, but I, unfortunately, have guests waiting for me, Malfaricia apologized, pretending to be kind.
The dwarves moved forward without protest and opened the way.
Their weapon was their craftsmanship.
And the products they made were always masterful works of art.
They thought that if she liked something, she would ask them to talk about it in more detail herself.
Such was the pride of the dwarves.
? Surprise: You know a lot about their kind.
Naturally, Trainee Teacher.
In the 1st round, the Dwarf King was one of mypanions.
If I knew how to create a nuclear or hydrogen bomb, we wouldve gotten along well, but unfortunately, I only learned the basics of chemistry and physics in high school.
Cursed King Malfart back then loved dwarves and hated humans.
But ironically, the dwarves betrayed him and sided with the Hero because they couldnt keep their race alive without humans.
The fight wasnt that fierce.
Armed with the treasures of the Dwarf King, mypanions were confident of their victory, and I, as befitted a squad leader, sent them into battle, empowering them with guidance, seasoned with 500% exaggeration.
Determined, they fought with special zeal.
And thanks to their noble sacrifice, I was able to defeat the Cursed King Malfart.
My hus no, Sir Hero, you really are scum, arent you? Ssosia grinned as she held onto my arm, unable to stand normally due to her dislocated lower back.
Nobody asked you to read my mind.
Lovely Trainee Teacher, this is for you.
? Shyness: Is that also apliment spiced with 500% exaggeration? Ssosia, my senior, is much prettier than me
No. my judgment on that ispletely objective.
My wife wasnt pretty. She was cowardly.
I can hear everything, cowardly Hero.
Keep listening.
At that moment, Malfaricia intervened.
Oh! Human and demon. You have such different races, but youre all so close that you can evenmunicate with just a nce! I really envy your rtionship.
Was this what she considered a close rtionship?
Oh! Did our hostile rtionship look cool in the eyes of the evil dragon?
(Sir Hero, cant you just ept thepliment?)
The Goddess clearlycked the experience of living in society.
In contrast, I was an expert in this.
Ah! Mistress Malfaricia, youre early today. I didnt know you wereing back so early. I havent even finished cleaning yet, Said the dwarf in an apron and cleaning supplies in hand.
There were many of his kind outside, but he was the only one inside her art-filled residence.
Was he a housekeeper?
Dont worry, prince. Its my fault that I came without warning.
Oh. So he was the prince!
Was he supposed to be cleaning someone elses abode?
How can you say that, Mistress Malfaricia! That just cant be. Ill quickly finish cleaning and cook dinner
Ill cook dinner tonight.
If that is what you truly desire.
Hey dwarf, princes of a state shouldnt allow themselves to be humiliated like that. How can you still live with yourself?
I wanted to ask if he was even really a prince.
He probably was on paper, but it had to be a mistake, considering he worked as a servant.
System, what do you think?
? Denial: This is not a script error but a historical fact.
This was what really happened in the past? I didnt know what to say.
? Exnation: That princes death will be the fuel to Wisdom Queen Malfaricias rage. She will regret inviting him to visit after their fateful meeting until her death.
Are you talking about the First Hero?
They didnt have to worry about him now, though. He had already drowned in the sea, after all. He couldnt even ask for help.
The sea mermaids probably sucked all the strength out of him, preventing him from even swimming away.
Please wait in the living room until the food is ready, my dear guests. It probably will take quite a bit of time since I need to prepare for quite a lot of people. Oh, I know! Please feel free to examine the paintings to avoid boredom. The esteemed prince painted them for me.
Was she not afraid we would steal something, or did she just have so many pieces of art that she wouldnt even notice if one of them went missing?
Malfari left me and the dummies in the living room.
I sat downfortably, leaning against the back of the sofa.
Sir Hero, wont you go look at them?
No, but youre allowed to check them out yourself if you want.
Thank you~
Snow Woman, apanied by the spirits, began to examine the paintings with enthusiasm.
I wanted to tell her not to run around to avoid littering the ce with her feathers, but I wasnt her nanny, so I just kept silent.
Although her gender is different, shes definitely the same dragon.
I saw all these pictures in the 1st round.
I thought Malfart made the dwarves paint these pictures because he missed his beloved, but who wouldve thought that this girl was him!
So the Cursed King was a narcissist?
Arent you distorting the facts? She keeps these pictures not to admire herself but because her beloved man painted them. On second thought, I shouldnt have expected someone who doesnt even know what love is to understand such a concept.
Actually, I do know what love is. Its a conquest.
Thats why you dont hey, that hurts!
Your nonsense needs to stop, demoness. We should focus on finding a way to defeat her instead.
You already know the easiest way to do that.
I did know. Even a child would.
You know nothing, sir Hero. Youre worse than my father, yet you still pretend to be kind. However, I understand your side. No race is as capricious as humans.
Im not just pretending to be kind. Its the truth.
When mypanions, drunk with victory, looked only forward, I always looked back.
Widows who had lost their husbands, parents who had lost their children, girls who had lost their loved ones, sons who had lost their fathers, teachers who had lost their students, and basically anyone who had ever lost someone
They med me for everything.
Many residents fell victim to mypanions, who rushed into the fight while shouting, Whoever kills the least pays for dinner!
It wasnt me who killed them, but I had to listen to their families threats andints anyway.
All of that was due to a rabble of savages called the Heros Party.
It was impossible to control them, but they operated under my name.
Stop bringing that up, Cowardly Hero. Youre making me feel ufortable. I already understand why you went insane.
Im not crazy.
Crazy people dont know theyre crazy
Youre a crazy bitch.
How dare you! Im telling my father everything!
While we were thinking about defeating the dragon that exploited the dwarves using her false kindness, an alluring and maizing scent entered my nostrils.
Unbelievable.
Its smell alone was enough to satiate hunger.
Judging by that alone, something magnificent awaited us.
However
What a smell!
Wow! I cant wait for tonights dinner!
Everybody, run to the kitchen!
A gang of hooligans shouted as they ignored the stairs, jumping down from the upper floors instead.
When they saw us in the living room, they immediately got angry.
Oh! You
Youre that tyrant from the Northern Continent!
Why are you here?!
With Lanuvel were several other people who, as it turned out, didnt die.
Including the First Hero, ring at me.
History was indeed repeating itself.
The old Heros Party arrived in the Dwarven Kingdom and became guests of the Wisdom Queen Malfari before we did.
Chapter 249 - [13th Round] System Developer
Chapter 249 - [13th Round] System Developer
Oh? Do you know each other? Naively asked the dragon, still pretending to be a girl.
She stood in front of a table filled with so many dishes that it wouldve been hard to believe she could cook that much in such a short amount of time if we were on Earth.
But we were in Fantasy.
Skills made such a feat possible.
Through them, one could cut fruits and vegetables faster and better, and the time to reheat or cook anything could be reduced to a second.
Ten minutes for a Fantasy chef was enough to match ordinary cooks entire days worth of cooking.
If she cooked for an hour, the food shed serve would most likely taste as expensive and sophisticated as those eaten by royals.
Skills alone werent enough, though.
There would always be some field-specific tricks and techniques known only to masters.
Why are you here? My senior asked, looking at me as if wanting to apprehend me on the spot.
I gave him a short answer.
Because I am the Hero.
On the Northern Continent, I hid it to not disrupt the course of history, but now, my seniors era had ended, and the era of Kang Han Soo had begun. Everything was in order.
Im the Hero!
You were fired.
F-fired?!
I dont know what you did here for thest few years, but during that time, I defended the Northern, Western, and Southern Continents.
Lies!
If you dont believe me, why dont you ask someone else? You must have one or two contacts on other continents.
Unable to answer, he closed his mouth.
After all, he couldnt have connections in ces where he hadnt even been yet.
My senior couldnt refute my words since there were no lies in my words.
Wait! So hes not a hero?
What is this nonsense?
Why did a new hero have to be chosen? Where did we even go wrong?
My friend lives on the Southern Continent. Ill ask him.
Did they feel threatened?
The Herospanions, rejoicing at the well-prepared table, left the room one by one to find out if my words were true or not.
Dismissal? Hero? I dont know what this is all about, but cant you talk about your personal businesses after dinner? At least have a little respect for the one who made all of these for you, Malfaricia said.
Ah, Im sorry. I sincerely apologized.
Food was far more important than the world of humanity, after all. Even the lizard in front of me was a problem that fell below it in the priority list.
The cook had prepared dishes for me that werent poisoned. I supposed I should be grateful for her effort, at the very least.
So be it. I would eat everything without being picky.
I didnt know that you can have such thoughts. I thought you would eat everything because of your long travels. Ssosia said.
Its not that Im a choosy eater. Its just that there are ingredients that I dont like. For example, I ate Lucifers from the Western Continent for a lifetime, so I really dont want to taste them again. Its not at all because of my journey. My mom couldnt cook either
So your mom cant cook?
I didnt say that.
You just did.
Did not.
Did.
Did not.
Did.
The cowardly demon looked at me with a sly look.
The First Hero, watching our argument, burned us with an envious and even slightly insane look.
I didnt even know what to say.
In the future, he would run away from his harem because of his wives. How could he be jealous of a marital quarrel now?
I couldnt understand him.
What are you staring at?
N-nothing.
He turned away and began to eat zealously.
There were fewer people in his harem now.
The girls always ran after him and supported him, like a fan club, but they apparently thought they couldnt entrust their lives to him, who did nothing but eat and sleep in the Northern Continent before fleeing.
And here he was, still messing around.
I didnt know how they defeated the sea mermaids and sailed to the Eastern Continent, but it seemed he couldnt retain all of his support groups members.
Wow! Madam Malfaricia, this is really delicious! The Snow Woman praised the cook with admiration as the spirits fed her.
And I looked at the Snow Woman in amazement.
I assumed that due to the Herospanions that had left us, there would be a lot of food left, but thanks to the Snow Woman, that wouldnt seem to be the case.
She ate so much and so fast!
It was amazing how her stomach didnt swell from it.
Damn.
How unfair.
Tsk
The women from my seniors harem looked at her with envy.
Of course, they didnt gain excess weight for as long as they didnt overeat because of their skills, but they still couldnt eat as much as the mutant harpy did.
And the demon
Why do you care how much I eat?
I didnt mean you specifically. Im just curious because I dont know much about your kind. Stop making things up.
What are you talking about? How can a hero not know anything about demons?
Am I supposed to know everything about them?
If so, then that was unfortunate. After all, all the demons I found died.
I had only ever seen their kind eat twice.
The first was the Demon Lord, and the second was his daughter.
But I didnt learn a lot from the Demon Lord. He was a gourmet, so he only ate as much as he was given, never asking for more.
Hmph. Well, youre wee to find out.
Humming, Ssosia began to eat.
She tasted all the dishes that were on the table, but just a little.
Your appetite worsened since thest time Ive seen you eat, my niece. Oh, is it perhaps because youre on a diet to look your best for the Drug Hero?
Aunt!
Heeheehee!
The First Spiritughed.
She took a small cherry,id it on herp, and munched on it like a watermelon.
She had better not try using my hair as tissue.
I hadnt gained a bald spot so far, so I turned a blind eye to everything she did, but if I found even the slightest sign of it, I would kill her.
What an unusual group.
I didnt reply to Malfaris words. Our party was assembled to kill her, which meant answering her would feel strange.
Im worried. There will be a lot of food left, but it wont be respectful to give them to the neighbors since weve already started eating it.
Dont worry! Ill take responsibility and eat everything! answered the prince of the dwarves, who had been silent until now since he was busy eating.
He wasnt a monster like the Snow Woman, who could consume food nonstop. Unlike her, his belly continued to grow.
I even began to worry if he would die from this.
Come now, prince
No! The food is so delicious that I think Im going to die!
Hey, dwarf prince, you might actually die from this
He truly looked like he was about to get killed by overeating, not by the First Hero.
Why dont I call mypanions if youre so worried about leftovers?
I had to help him.
If he died this way, Malfari would suffer, but she likely wouldnt go insane.
Oh, your party has more members?
Yes. Theyre always with me.
Really? Well, I dont mind having them over.
As soon as I received permission, I immediately called my legion.
Spirits didnt need food, but that didnt mean they couldnt eat it.
Soul spirits only ate fruits, while fire spirits loved dried food. Earth spirits ate everything except seafood, and water spirits, on the contrary, preferred seafood.
And the wind spirits
Are actual vacuum cleaners.
They consumed everything in their path.
The spirits living in my armpits and between my legs could only eat a little, but that didnt matter when they were together with thousands of their kind.
None of them could swallow more than a pea, but their numbers were enough to clear out the table instantly.
Theres so many of them
My God
The prince and Malfaricia watched them in amazement. It was probably the first time theyd seen so many of them in a single room.
My senior, however, couldnt hide his concern.
After making sure all the tes on the table were empty, I slowly got up and politely expressed my gratitude.
Thank you so much for the food, but well have to excuse ourselves. Wed love to take a better look over thisnd full of dwarven masterpieces.
Wait. You promised to tell us about the trip.
Yes That seemed to be the case.
Although she spoke out of politeness, her words felt sincere.
But I had already made up my mind.
How about this. This mutant harpy is apanion I really appreciate. Can you keep her with you until I finish my business? Shell share everything with you instead of me objectively, without exaggeration or lies.
Me? Are you sure, sir Hero?
Since you dont have hands, I leave this responsibility to you.
I was grateful to her for providing me with valuable feathers, but herck of arms caused many inconveniences.
Shouldnt she repay me somehow?
I will do my best to fulfill this duty! The Snow Woman agreed.
Leaving her here wasnt a problem.
This house might be a dragons nest, but the Snow Woman should be safe even though she had nobat skills.
Although I hid my true abilities with my ZZZ-ranked Gifted skill, I had the First Spirit and the Second Demon next to me. As long as Malfari sensed their power, she would never try to create fried chicken out of the Snow Woman.
I took a walk with the dummies.
Dont call me a dummy.
Ssosia read my mind again as she followed me.
I am the main Hero of this time, and youre just a minor character. Therefore, you are a dummy.
I am stronger than you.
Ssosia, freed from the system, united her souls and now possessed two GG-rank skills.
My dearrade Noebius had only one G-rank skill, but I still couldnt do anything against him. There was no way I could defeat Ssosia.
That was why she was so confident in herself.
But youre just second to me.
I was ranked higher than her, so if I asked her to dance naked in front of the dwarves, she wouldnt be able to refuse me.
It was all because of her curse of always being second.
That was Ssosias essence.
Hmph!
She trembled with anger. She probably wanted to hit me in the head right now, but she couldnt.
I dont understand why you have such an expression on your face, my niece. You can just meet a good man and live happily with him.
The First Spirit spoke the right words for the first time in a long time.
Dont interfere in other peoples affairs, my aunt.
But Im just stating the obvious. Youre free now.
I am oppressed by this man because of my wait. Wait! What did you just say?
Ill say it again for you, my stupid niece. You arepletely free from the system.
Ah!
She trembled again, but due to a different reason this time.
She realized that her soul and body, previously separated like slices of pizza, were now connected, but she didnt realize that she was free.
Ssosia, you must repay me for this withpound interest.
30% interest per month. She should keep that in mind.
30%?! How am I supposed to pay that back?! How is this even possible? Even my aunt couldnt free me because Im the system developer
Hey, were recording.
System, edit this cowardly demons words.
? Confirmation: Everything will naturally go through editing. Students shouldnt learn that the beautiful world of Fantasy is a system made to raise heroes. Teachers also dont have to know all the details, so her entire reply will not be edited but removed.
Woah.
The system always spoiled my grades with its biased attitude, so I didnt think it was capable of such flexible thinking.
? Denial: Were just following the rules.
90% of the poption of the Dwarven Kingdom were dwarves, and the remaining 10% were human. Taking their percentages by sex, 98% were women, and 2% were men.
Male humans werent liked here, so most were itinerant traders, and the women could be divided into three groups.
Dwarven wives, friends, and guests.
Dwarven wives, regardless of status, wore luxurious clothing and expensive jewelry made by their husbands.
Friends and guests were mostly merchants, too, who had their eyes on the masterpieces the dwarves made.
The ideal partner for female humans was someone who could protect them, so they werent particrly attracted to the dwarves.
But their craftsmanship was a different matter
They only had one life, and this was their chance to receive beautiful clothes and jewelry forever.
Hey, cowardly husband.
Not now. Were recording.
We needed to focus on the journey of the MAX-ss Hero, which would end up in textbooks in the future.
My handsome husband.
What?
What did she just call me?
This isnt the time to film your entertainment show. This is thest time Ill be speaking of this, so listen to me carefully. Im the system developer, and Im now free.
Yes, thats why I said you should pay me back withpound interest.
Okay. Ill repay you right now.
Ssosia snapped her finger.
And Master Mon was summoned!
Huh?
Huuuuuuuuuuuh?! Seriously?!
Why did my master emerge from your chest, cowardly demon?!
Master Mon, as if nothing had happened, gave me, his surprised disciple, a clear answer.
Mon~
Chapter 250 - [13th Round] Operator vs. Developer
Chapter 250 - [13th Round] Operator vs. Developer
This rainbow slime is no ordinary being.
Naturally!
He was the greatest creation who made me who I was now!
Well, hes not that great. Ahem. In general, hes known as Mon. A friend gave him to me as a pet when I was a child. He looks like a slime, but he can create anything.
Oh
I assumed so.
Thanks to Master Mon, I was able to improve my body, so I wasnt surprised by that.
But that was beyond my expectations.
Was he able to create anything?
Yes. Mon can be considered a living philosophers stone, but he hardly uses this power. If he is in danger, he doesnt try to cope independently but simply calls powerful friends. I dont know if youd believe me or not, but many monstrous people have died because they mocked him.
But most people ignore him anyway.
The teaching staff and dummies constantly ignored my teachers strength.
Just as your knowledge is limited to Earth and Fantasy, the teaching staff knows little about the world outside the school. Or I guess we can say they just dont care. Few people also know that theyll be paying for their life in exchange for bullying Mon. Hes basically like a supeputer. Isnt that right, Mon?
Mon-Mon!
Master Mon, nestlingfortably in Ssosias chest, answered happily. I hated to admit it, but it seemed he liked it there.
Well, Ssosia, are you going to use Master Mon to destroy the Fantasy World?
There is nothing but chaos and destruction in your head I just exined everything! He can create anything, but he requires blueprints of patterns for it.
Do you have them?
No, Ssosia shrugged.
Are you joking now?
Im not. My aunt took everything away from me. However, if Mon has already made it, he can do it again from memory. You can do it, cant you, Mon?
Mon? Mon-Mon!
Master Mon muttered something from the evil demons chest, and he really created something out of his body.
A key?
It was golden and could seemingly fit into any jewelry stash. Although it was small, its design was so clever that I could immediately tell it was unique and important.
She turned the key in front of me.
Well, shall we begin?
Before I could even blink, the environment around us changed.
***
Im d to see you again, Creator-Goddess of Fantasy.
We were in the womens room.
And the alleged hostess, wearing only pajamas, greeted Ssosia with a smile on her face.
ck hair, ck eyes, mean chest, cowardly face
She looked like the demonesss younger version.
Youre right. I created her based on myself from my youth. Im d to see you again, Fantasy.
So her name was Fantasy.
That meant
Is she the Goddess known as the systems personification?
Yes. I am the God of the Fantasy World, whom you berate more than ten times a day. The girl answered.
I took a look at her status.
? Race: Space Demon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Supreme Judge (Creation = Law )
? Skills: Divinity GGG, Dark Energy GGG, Creation GGG, Intelligence GGG, Immortality GGG
? Status: Affiliation, Chronic Illness
She really was the real Goddess.
She had a lot of GGG-rank skills. Skills alone would never be enough to defeat her.
Why do you only have warfare in your head, my dear husband? yers naturally cant defeat administrators. Ah! It would be best for you not to waste your time thinking that you can defeat her with something other than skills. She is the Goddess of this dimension, created bybining the powers of my father and my aunt. Her skills are limited to GGG simply because thats the systems limit.
Hmm
I had been feeling a little sluggish in recent days, so I decided to call a truce for now.
I told you to surrender Anyway, I assumed no significant changes had been made since my aunts betrayal, but I didnt expect the system wouldnt be updated at all.
Look at my condition, Mistress. The being who dethroned you is nothing but a dreamer who happens to be in power. All she can do is give impractical orders, She said without any emotion on her face, which made her look even more inhospitable.
Where is she now?
She has set up amittee to prevent the war and spends almost every day in meetings with the higher-ups of the faculty. Youre lucky. Because of cadet Kang Han Soos inappropriate behavior, the teaching staff gave up and entrusted him to a trainee without any experience or knowledge. Otherwise, such a transfer of rights to the system wouldnt have been possible.
Thank you, but I became a ve to this guy because of that.
Im really sorry, Mistress Fantasy, but there was no other way out.
The two continued to discuss me.
There were definitely problems in their educational program since they still didnt recognize a diligent student like me. Hadnt history already proved it?
Half of the representatives of the Five Great Disasters were the work of the First Hero.
All he did was sh*t and run away.
We must act quickly while my aunt is still oblivious to this
Please.
Ssosia put her hand on the systems forehead like a mother checking her babys temperature.
Its more serious than I thought. A lot of programs are malfunctioning now because of her mistakes. And it looks like My dads efforts? Oh! Yes, my foolish father is even better than my aunt! Or is this just because the systems a demon? He doesnt have any right to do so, but he messes around with this anyway. The dates are all fresh, too. Look here, my cowardly husband. What kind of deal did you make with my father?
What deal?
I had nothing to do with my father-inw.
ording to the data, dad got into the system the same day he met you.
Ah, at that time
That was when I was maxed out.
Demon Lord Pedonar was acting kind of strange back then.
He taught me, the Righteous Hero, the essence of Dark Energy, but didnt kill me. Instead, hemitted hara-kiri.
So there was no deal between us.
How is that possible? Dont lie to me!
About what?
Are you actually stupid? The Demon Lords level is proportional to the Heros level! That feature of his job was invented by my aunt, who didnt want him to be too strong or too weak.
That seems to be the case, yes.
If I knew about that, I wouldnt have wasted ten years on the 1st round.
Has my dads level increased so much that he was able to influence the system How did you do that?
Are youpletely stupid? I killed the demons, just like what a hero should do.
I did it all by myself, too.
Why alone?
Because I can.
I, the Hero, massacred their race alone, removing the need to sacrifice mypanions or the possibility of civilian casualties.
The levels I gained were just a by-product.
Now I understand why he called you his perfect son-inw at every meeting. We need to act faster. Otherwise, hell run away from Fantasy.
So you really are a negligent daughter.
Was she going to catch her father on his way out of prison?
Even I waspassionate of my father-inw, who gave me Dark Energy and experience points.
Listen. If the center of this system, my father, escapes from this world, this entire dimension would copse. It wouldnt crumble right away, but allocating one ss per student using parallel dimensions will be difficult. Imagine that the size of our educational institution is 100% right now. If he leaves, itll be less than 0.01%. Regression itself will be impossible
Well
I never liked that feature anyway.
Even at this very moment, my nurse was suffering from being killed endlessly.
While the heroes were looking at their fake-sweetheart Lanuvels ass, the fallen nations princess was captured and tortured by their enemy knights.
Over, and over, and over again
Every time a hero returned due to regression, that was repeated.
Um That problem will be solved if I upgrade the system, so listen carefully. If my dad escapes from the Fantasy World, then arge-scale war will begin. Most of the graduates wont be able to resist his orders because of his status and skills. Theyll be forced to join the Demon Lords army.
My senior will deal with this.
I already know because I died instead of the Demon Lord.
The First Hero was ready for the Demon Lords escape.
It had already happened once.
History repeated itself.
It would be great if that idiot can stop him, but theres nothing wrong with taking preventive and precautionary measures ahead of time. Okay! Ive taken control of over 19% of the system. Dad only has 1% right now.
Cant you take more?
Ive already taken everything I could.
Someday we would know what he would do with that 1%.
But right now, I was interested in Ssosias 19%.
So, what can you do with it?
Anything except those involving meeting with my aunt or the faculty members. However, I advise you to be patient unless whats on your mind is something important. Taking all the rights will take time. Also, you better not get caught by my aunt.
Basically, there was nothing she could do.
Thats not true. Thank you so much for freeing me, Fantasy. Shall we go back?
I would like to apologize once more for entrusting your future to such a rude man.
Everything is fine. I got used to him already.
Mistress Fantasy
Stop looking at me like that already. Im really fine.
They spoke of me as if I was just some bastard.
I didnt like this Goddess. They both kept getting on my nerves.
Drug Hero, dont hate my niece so much. Shes just ashamed of your excessive love.
That is not true, auntie!
Heeheehee!
The girl, who lost the Chronic Illness status, gracefully grabbed the hems of her pajamas and said goodbye.
MAX-ss Brute Hero, please make Mistress Fantasy happy.
You better watch your behavior.
Im just obeying the school rules.
We returned to the Dwarven Kingdom again as if nothing had happened.
***
Were back
I had been in this dark and dreary ce once before.
In the room, like mannequins, stood naked beautiful men and women. All of them had a cor around their necks that had their names, jobs, and ages. Towering over them was a guy sitting on a throne.
ncing at us haughtily, he spoke.
Wee, my junior and my dear Ssosia.
It was the First Hero who wanted to start a war all to erase his dark past.
To be honest, it was somehow unusual that he invited us.
Whats this all about?
Do you really not know? While I watched the distortion of history take ce, I discovered something interesting, and I couldnt leave it alone.
He seemed to be talking about Ssosia taking over some of the systems rights.
He said he wasnt going to pry anymore. Damned liar.
Okay, lets skip that part. Honestly, Im all for my close friend regaining all of her rights, but Im worried about the Demon Lords 1%. Ssosia, if there is a way to take that from him, then I will help.
Hes not there, Ssosia replied simply.
Thats a shame. Then lets move on to the next matter at hand.
The elder rose from his throne. No, as soon as I thought that he had risen, he was already in front of me.
He was so fast that I didnt have time to react.
At that moment
Mon.
His fist stopped before punching me in the stomach.
Frowning, he looked at Ssosias vile chest in surprise.
I definitely didnt call Mon.
After that, Ssosia took Master Mon out and embraced him with both arms.
I knew youd do that, so I took him with me.
Mon-Mon!
Master Mon addressed the ruler of the entire gxy as if instructing him that he should stop his insolence.
I no longer knew the limits of Master Mons capabilities either.
Chapter 251 - [13th Round] We Are One
Chapter 251 - [13th Round] We Are One
This was not part of the n
Did I offend you?
He gave me an offer to work for him in the past, but now he just attacked me out of nowhere.
I cant help but be surprised by your shamelessness, my junior. You should be well aware that anger has piled up inside me because of you. You killed my subjects, stole the Holy Sword, and even humiliated me in the past. Do you need any more exnations?
Heh!
I thought there was no strife between us since he decided to recruit me, but mentally, his spite had already rued interest against me, which I apparently had to pay for.
But he was wrong to think that I had killed his subjects.
They didnt die. They continued to live as my spirits.
Their souls were merged, causing them to lose their identities. Thats not much different from death.
Senior, many cells in our body also merge. Boris even has abination of souls instead of cells.
That is all sophistry.
Just be honest. You feel resentful because Ive taken away your subjects.
The First Hero, furrowing his eyebrows, remained silent.
Instantly returning to his throne, he then replied as if nothing happened.
I decided that if I suppress your soul, Ssosia will start following me, but I seem to have miscalcted the results.
He seemed to have his eyes set on the 19% system management rights that the Second Demon owned.
And he considered me her appendage, a gigolo that did nothing but spend her money.
But thats actually true, my cowardly husband.
Lets talk about it tonight.
It was like ying an online game.
Compared to these veterans, I was just a beginner.
No matter how hard I tried, I wouldnt be able to beat them. I, of course, had be stronger in the past 65 years, but the two beings with me had already trained a hundred, or even a thousand times more than I did.
If I was going to catch up with them, I needed to invest the same amount of time as they did.
But how long would that take?
Hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years?
I could still roughly deduce how much I had to work to catch up to the First Hero, but considering Ssosias age Agh!
You shouldnt talk about a womans age, My cowardly little wife reproached me as she hit my side.
I cant believe I have to live with her, President of the Universe.
I only thought about it but was physically abused by my rude wife anyway.
I was starting to doubt the universes love for me!
You should be happy. Bing my husband is both a blessing and an honor. If not for my predicament, this would never have happened.
See? Shes so shameless.
I never asked her to marry me.
The Demon Lord Pedonar forcibly appointed me as his son-inw. Ssosia then signed all the marriage documents herself and even had the Addicted Spirit certify them so fast I didnt even have time to speak.
Bring back my youth!
Hey hubby, stop it. Youre starting to look and sound like a madman. The universe isnt your friend, and it has no time to respond to your worthlessints. All you need to think about right now is how to get out Ssosia grinned, but she couldnt finish her words.
The First Hero jumped up from his throne.
So this is the rumored patronage
Unbelievable. This is a real fraud
It didnt matter what they said or how hard they envied me. None of their opinions could stop the Righteous Heros ever-changing reality!
I wasnt the only one affected by it, too.
Aaaaagghh-!
Aaaahhhh!
The heroes who once fought with the First Hero to protect their homnd and their honor had sunk so deep to the point that they had be nothing but interior decoration.
Now, however, they started screaming.
Fear and thirst for vengeance against my senior had umted in their souls.
As for me
I ept the deal.
I promised toply with their sincere request.
Pssshhhhh
All of the heroes around us turned into experience points and were absorbed by me.
I wasnt Master Mon.
There were things that were beyond my control.
But I was the one and only Spirit Human.
Be my source of strength.
I could turn any person into my experience points.
The President of the Universe resolved all issues with myck of skills, and Master Mon gave me enlightenment. In addition, I had the effect of the paired rings I wore with the First Spirit.
I expressed my gratitude to the two greatest creatures who pitied me for being despised by a cowardly wife and to the drug-addicted spirit for her support!
That wasnt all.
Id like to thank my wife and my senior, who, without looking away, watched my transformation.
Fantasys viins were so well-mannered.
If I were in their shoes, I wouldve immediately hit my opponents spine the moment they showed even the slightest hint of bing stronger.
However, since they just kept staring at me instead, I even had time to look at my updated stats.
? Race: United Spirit
? Level: 999+
? Job: Great Sword Master (Hero = Demon Lord)
? Skills: Giftedness ZZZ, Divinity Z, Intelligence Z, Favoritism MAX, Immortality MAX
? Status: Holy Sword, Divine, Dragon Scale
There was no change in the skills themselves.
But my race had surpassed all boundaries ofmon sense.
? Type: Race
? Name: United Spirit
? Rank: Beginner
? Beginner 1: Inherits the life of the Hero.
? Initial 2: Combines inherited lives.
? Feature 1: The love of the universe fades.
? Race 1: You are a legendary being.
The effect that allowed me to control the universe was gone.
I never really knew how to use it, but there was no denying that the universe had often helped me in various matters.
However, it seemed my overexploitation of its kindness had brought its love to an end!
It was fun to watch the meteorites the President of the Universe sent specifically for me, so it was a bit of a shame to part with it.
However, none of that mattered now.
Its time to be independent.
The reason why the universes love had weakened was most likely because I had be too strong.
If the protagonist of novels,ics, or films constantly won, then others interest would begin to disappear.
That was what was currently happening with me.
Thats quite a dangerous racial feature. Can you devour anyone and inherit their power?
Your eyes arent deceiving you.
I consumed all the heroes that were imprisoned in this ce.
Their bodies, experience points, knowledge, souls, talents
In return, I promised I would defeat the evil ruler of the gxy for them, but I didnt really have to keep it.
Thats fraudulence, Drug Hero.
Ha! What are you talking about? I didnt specify when or where I should fulfill it.
I could choose to defeat the First Hero only after 500 years had passed if I wanted to.
Defeat me? What sparkling humor you have, my dear junior. I observed you calmly simply because Im confident in my victory. It doesnt matter how strong you be. Youll always be inferior to me.
He was deeply mistaken.
Of all people, you should be the one most aware that all the viins who arrogantly waited for their opponent always ended up losing. You just wasted an opportunity.
Various powerful elements began to circle around his body.
It was only a demonstrative threat, but the power it contained was enough to erase an entire from existence.
Hey, hubby, I know you both want to indulge your feelings here, but how about just apologizing anding back?
I cant just back down now.
If Master Mon hadnt worked it out, I would have suffered a lot.
If I fell on my knees in front of him now, in the future, he would remind me of this moment at every opportunity.
I had to draw the line now.
You dont seem to understand how high the heavens are, my little sessor.
You better notbel me a cowardter, senior.
I summoned the Holy Sword Nucleon and swiftly attempted to divide his head in half, but it was never going to be that simple.
He, too, summoned his Holy Sword, causing my de to collide against it instead.
That single sh of our weapons disintegrated the building instantly and formed a crater under us.
With just one collision, an area the size of a city was incinerated.
But this was just the beginning.
Well, shall we continue, senior?
Oh, you
I didnt even be 30% stronger, much less 50%.
How much more serious had my situation be since I lost the universes love?
From a third partys perspective, I probably looked like I was fighting a useless battle, but that was because they couldnt see the peculiarity of my race.
Taste the bitterness of love and friendship of the rejected, senior.
The heroes he had collected as trophies had now be my flesh and blood, assiduously helping me.
Individually, they were weaker than the First Hero.
But with all of them together
Dont bring others into this! Fight me alone, you coward!
The time and effort the others put in were ignorable.
However, even if one trained so hard their teeth clenched, causing them to grow stronger, they would still lose to the united loafers who trained sloppily.
Such was the irrational power of love and friendship.
I fought the way I was taught in the Fantasy World.
With one exception.
We are one.
We werent just acting together. We were united.
Were the champions here.
And we would emerge as the victors.
***
How rude!
He invited us over, and then he kicked us out!
It made me question my seniors character.
Any guest would be kicked out of the house if they were making a mess out of it. Watching you disy how cowardly you can be is an interesting sight, though.
Ill give you a cowardly thrashing now.
There were so many heroes in my body that I could fight against an entire army.
How could one demon fight against me?
Thats a little scary, actually.
We werent thrown to somewhere unexpected anymore. This time, we finally returned to the Dwarven Kingdom.
But there were changes to it that I immediately noticed.
Are those flush toilets?
Thest time I saw them on the Northern Continent, only expensive hotels or rich peoples homes had them installed since its mass instation hadnt yet been established.
What was going on here?
Even public restrooms had them.
We werent even in the Northern Continent. We were standing on Ind S of the Eastern Continent.
This is not my doing. A certain amount of time has probably passed. I thought Mon prevented the trap, but it still affected us.
Time has passed?
Trainee Teacher, can you hear me?
? Surprise: Cadet Kang Han Soo! Youre finally back! Because of your sudden disappearance, the teaching staff held meetings every day, and the elders scolded me for my negligence Confusion dominated our daily lives.
Wait a minute! How many days have passed since such a fuss was raised?
? Answer: Days? Youve been missing for almost 12 years!
12 years?
We just had a little talk with the First Hero, but 12 years already passed?
I looked at Ssosia for verification. She had been by my side through it all, so she could objectively look at everything.
Stroking my teacher like a pet, she replied.
The First Hero distorted time and space. If you hadnt made a mess there, he would have stalled for time. Instead of twelve, a hundred and twenty years wouldve passed. That doesnt change much, though.
12 years Then the Snow Woman had probably been turned into fried chicken.
Arent you too quick to draw conclusions?
We went straight to Malfaris house.
I felt like we just went out for a little while, but due to my seniors tricks, a dozen years passed.
At first nce, there were no obvious changes.
But in the garden and living room, instead of dwarves, small groups of people were visible.
Among them was a woman pretending to know me.
Hey! I havent seen you in a long time, my dear boyfriend!
Her job was Hero, but her skills and outfit would be more suitable for a wizard. Regardless, she was definitely wless in all respects.
Have we met somewhere before?
How can you forget about me, darling?! I was the student council president of the secondary education course! Still dont remember me?
Hmm I think there was such a woman.
This is too much! I missed you!
Ssosia silently demanded an exnation while Master Mon twisted in her arms. Likewise, I demanded an exnation from Trainee Teacher.
Whats going on?
? Exnation: Due to your prolonged absence, we had no choice but to find a recement for you.
It seemed I got fired.
Chapter 252 - [13th Round] Prophet
Chapter 252 - [13th Round] Prophet
That decision feels a little unjust, but since the president of the student council is trying so hard, I think Ill step aside.
They apparently even held a meeting to resolve the problems that would arise the moment I returned.
? Exnation: In short, they want to write you in history not as the Hero, but as a legendary Prophet who made life on three continents better.
Not the Hero, but a Prophet?
I had provided this unsanitary Fantasy World with flush toilets, so I thought that title suited me just right.
? Caution: Arent you angry?
Hmm? No, not a bit. Its okay, Trainee Teacher.
I had no affection or any regrets about not getting the Hero job.
For the past 65 no, 77 years, my goal was to be the Righteous Hero and ultimately return to Earth.
I didnt even need a high school diploma.
For as long as I could take my son back home with me, I would be content.
And all the preparations for that had already beenpleted.
Ssosia had regained some of her rights over the system, so I thought nothing could prevent me from leaving Fantasy now.
Now I just needed the blessing of the shameless teaching staff.
They wouldnt be able to threaten me with force anymore.
Hey hubby, I need to tell you something.
Wait! Hubby?! When did my boyfriend get married?! This is the first time Ive heard about this! Are you the Second Demon?! Are you posing as the Heros wife? Your arrogance is unbelievable!
Well talk about thatter Ssosia, though wanting to tell me something, turned her gaze to the student council president.
I wasnt particrly interested in what those two women wanted to talk about, so I decided to listen to my sweet and beautiful Trainee Teacher instead.
Please continue, Trainee Teacher.
? Reluctance: The faculty meeting wanted you to be the Prophet and work as the Herospanion instead. In doing so, the reward promised to you will be retained. If you help her kill the Demon Lord, you will immediately receive your rewards.
Not the Hero, but apanion of the Hero!
It wasnt a bad idea, even though the faculty members were the ones who submitted it, but I had already wasted too much time.
Eighty-five years in the Fantasy World?
On Earth, that was eight years and six months.
By Earth standards, I was already well over twenty, and it was around that age that young people graduated from university and got a job.
I even nned everything.
I would sell all the treasures I had collected during my adventures and open my own cafe in a prestigious area using Saintess H and Ssosia as workers.
Even if the coffee we served didnt taste good, I still most likely wouldnt go bankrupt.
As for myself, I would focus on the anime, movies, and books that I missed while I was stuck dealing with savages in another world.
? Reassurance: You described everything in great detail!
Come whenever you want. Ill treat you to coffee at my own expense!
Just by having her sit in my cafe and drink my coffee, my businesss revenue would double.
? Laughter: I will definitely visit you if I go to Earth. Oh! The other students who were with you in F ss were destroyed by the Demon Lord and were promoted to B ss.
They were annihted, but they ended up getting a promotion?
? Exnation: The Demon Lord is extremely powerful in the secondary education course. If you manage to kill him, youll be able to graduate immediately. However, if you fail, you will be transferred to another ss equal to your grade instead. The higher your ss, the higher your chances of sess will be since youd be with even more capable students.
I didnt know about that, but I was going to kill my father-inw anyway.
It made no difference now.
Earth is already waiting
Hey, hubby, we need to talk.
Ssosia ended her conversation with the student council president and, putting her lips next to my ear, whispered.
Have you forgotten what I was talking about?
I didnt. She said it took time to take control of the system.
If I borrowed her authority and returned to my now, the First Angel would immediately notice.
I would love to go back home and apologize to my parents for my long absence at this moment, but what about revenge with the umted interest?
I couldnt resist the system since it had limitless possibilities. I would need to either drag her over to my side or remain neutral. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with the entire teaching staff.
How could this problem be solved?
Ssosia needed to gain more control over the system than they had.
Parents vs. Revenge.
Without hesitation, I reached a conclusion.
I will be apanion of the Hero.
That was a tough decision, considering I would be risking getting my head smashed in with my mothers tennis racket because of it!
? Luck: Thank you so much, cadet Kang Han Soo! Since youve already agreed, I can tell you this now. If you refused, I would have been scolded by my superiors. Thanks again!
Always tell me when youre in trouble, Trainee Teacher!
No matter how scary my mothers tennis racket was, I would always willingly endure for my secret friend.
She didnt need to take care of everything alone.
As it turned out, the members of the faculty were actual monsters.
They med everything on an intern who didnt even have any rights or authority over any decisive moments and threatened that theyd do something to her if she failed.
Such teachers had no right to raise fair and just heroes.
If anyone looked at it a little deeper, theyd easily find out that it was their fault that the First Hero turned into a bastard.
In any case
I need to take a look at the current situation first.
As the saying went, seven nannies made an ipetent child. If the student council president did a good job, I would only provide indirect support and avoid interfering with the process.
However, it would be a different matter if she didnt.
Sir Hero! How could you! You left me, an armless harpy, alone for 12 years!ined the Snow Woman, running out to meet me.
I had no excuses, so I silently listened to herints before turning to her for help.
Im d you didnt turn into a fried chicken. I know that you have manyints, but can you tell us about the current situation here first?
Good!
The Snow Woman knew everything in great detail.
At the moment, including me, there were four heroes in total.
My senior, from the first generation of heroes.
Me, the representative of the second generation.
And two heroes from the third generation.
The First Hero, who stubbornly refused to surrender, had already demonstrated that he was powerful even without the support of the Goddess of Fantasy.
I was the Second Hero, and I was worshiped on the Northern, Western and Southern Continents as a real legend.
Three years after my disappearance, two third-generation heroes appeared. One of them was the student council president I knew, and the other was a guy receiving support from the Goddess of Fantasy.
Impressive.
Hehe.
At my praise, the Snow Womans expression immediately changed.
So, who are you going to stick around with after you retire? Ssosia asked.
I didnt think about it too much.
The student council president.
Because shes your girlfriend?
No, but I cant deny that right away either. She just came to me first and pretended we were close. Shes a better option than a guy I havent even met yet.
It was better to be in a ce where I was wee.
Why would I give myself unnecessary stress?
Im surprised. Youve be a dummy yourself. I thought you wouldnt join any group and run away instead.
Laughing, I gave a short answer.
Im all about rxation now.
Because you got stronger?
If I had been in control right from the beginning, everything wouldve been different. I was weak back then, though.
In the 1st round, although I knew mypanions ns would fail, I couldnt stop them.
During a mission to secretly infiltrate an enemy camp, we were surrounded and almost got killed because they spontaneously decided to save a girl being abused in there.
Not having the strength to contain them was my fault.
However, it was different now.
Hero Sieg was aplete disappointment, but the achievements of Hero Luke, whom I met in the 10th round, impressed me.
Thanks to the guide he acquired on Earth, our journey went smoothly.
All I had to do was follow him, almost as if I moved from the drivers seat to the passenger seat.
I thought that persistence was your only positive quality, my husband, but you turned out to bezy. I already saw thising when you said youd hire me to work in your cafe while youre messing around and tending to unimportant matters, though.
Id ratherze around than destroy everything around me and kill people. Hahaha!
What? Wasnt it funny?
Not a bit. That just made me feel like I need to improve the system as soon as I can to avoid creating more victims like you.
Ssosia looked at me with pity.
How rude!
How about taking care of yourself and your future first? You became the wife of the victim you speak of, after all.
Oh! Thats true! It appears Im actually the unhappiest one here. Thank you so much for reminding me. Im about to burst into tears.
If someone else saw us, they would think that I was the bad guy here. But in reality, that wasnt the case.
It was Ssosia who, without my consent, signed the marriage contract and certified it.
I was the victim here! I was forced to marry without consent!
It depends on how you look at it. My husband, whom I perceived only as a stupid hero, was actually a genius who took advantage of my helplessness to instill the idea of marriage in me.
Why dont you write novels?
History was indeed repeating itself.
Two years after my disappearance, the Dwarf Prince died.
The reason was unknown.
? Sorrow: The First Hero incited the Dwarf Prince. He asked to create a masterpiece capable of killing the Demon Lord. Thats how the first Holy Sword came into existence. However, the prince put all his strength into it, causing him to die of overwork. The enraged dragon was then killed by the sword that her beloved created.
And as of this moment, the Queen of Wisdom Malfari was at war against my senior due to the Dwarf Princes death.
About ten years passed that way.
In the real story, the First Hero, hispanions, and his support group defeated Malfart without any problems. However, now the story had changed due to a natural disaster at sea, resulting from which many of the Herospanions died.
It seems all of his remainingpanions have already been dealt with.
The deserted house, which the owner left, became their of the Hero.
The student council president, as befitted a female hero, had mostly handsome guys aspanions.
Half of them were just ordinary members of her support group, though.
There were only a few actualpanions among them.
Sword King, Mercenary King, and Sage, huh? The woman iming to be your girlfriend seems to be capable too. Shes collected three of the most powerful men amongpanions. But the Elf King isnt among them.
Heeheehee! Thats because I didnt side with the elves. Spiritless elves are useless aspanions.
Youve disturbed the course of history too much, aunt.
Theres nothing you can do. After all, I have received the other half of Drug Heros paired rings! Heeheehee!
You have such a strangeugh Wait, paired rings? What are you talking about?
While the First Spirit and the Second Demon talked about some nonsense, I examined the three men Ssosia was talking about.
Sword King Alex, who survived the incident at sea, looked pathetic.
I thought that savage was loyal, but he left my senior and chose the student council president.
The Sages betrayal was a natural course of action, so I wasnt particrly surprised by it.
His love for the Mermaid Princess Aqua seemed to have disappeared already. Right now, he was smiling broadly while staring at the student council president.
I understood him, though.
An urban beauty was much more attractive than a provincial girl, after all.
And finally, the Mercenary King.
The most powerfulpanion that could be hired on the Eastern Continent.
By his name alone, one could already deduce that he was the strongest among the mercenaries. He wielded gigantic swords as easily as he would use kitchen knives.
He looked like a forty-year-old man, but in fact, he was twice that age.
His physique was what I was aiming for.
He had impressive height, broad shoulders, and rigorous muscles.
I remember him being talkative.
Unlike dragons, who became more naive with age, the Mercenary King possessed wisdom appropriate to how old he was.
For a long time, I failed to hire him, as he valued his life and asked for high fees for his services.
That made me think the student council president had a lot of money.
Oppa, please help me.
She was probably wealthy, but she had no conscience at all.
Youre older than me, so dont call me oppa.
Oh, didnt you know? Women stop aging at 19. Moreover, I treat all men with beards as my oppa.
Hmm
Like a student before the final exams, Dad was always worried when my mom called him oppa.
I didnt know if that was still the case. About nine years had passed since Ist saw them, after all.
So youre the Hero of the second generation. Ive heard many rumors about you.
An annoying male voice made its way into my ears.
Of course, the student council president also annoyed me because she called me oppa, but the man had an aggressive tone, unlike her.
His hair, eyes, armor, weapons, clothes
Everything about him was golden in color.
? Race: Great Human of the Apocalypse
? Level: 999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Sword Mastery G, Evasion ZZZ, Immortality ZZ, Annihtion ZZ, Control ZZ, Flight ZZ, Vitality Z, ughter Z, Summon Z, Fortitude Z, Divination Z, Judgment Z, Pride Z, Willpower Z, Strength Z, Senses Z, Endurance Z, Ovee Z, Stamina Z, Negotiation Z, Track Enemy Z, Recovery Z, Immunity Z, Resistance Z, Divinity Z, Blessing Z, Honor Z, Perception Z, Patronage Z, Luck SSS
? Status: Holy Dragon, Holy Sword, Divine, Sacred
His stats were impressive, as befitted his mboyant appearance!
The femalepanions behind him, whom the student council president didnt recruit, made him look even brighter.
You know me?
Of course. Arent you that wed student being talked about in so many rumors in the higher education ss? I see you have nopanions, so how about working for me? As a senior, I can teach you to
His voice instantly died down the moment his gaze dawned upon Ssosia, who was standing next to me.
At first, I thought he was staring at her breasts, but then I realized he was looking at her skills.
What? Is this your first time seeing a GG-rank demon?
Thats impossible Huh?!
The G-rank Heros face turned blue. It seemed that he just now noticed the spirit puffing on my head.
What? Is this the first time youve seen a drugged spirit?
My boastful senior suddenly folded his hands onto hisp and bowed.
I apologize for wasting your time with my noisy greeting. Call me anytime you need help.
He then disappeared like the wind.
After that
My boyfriend is so cool! Even a student from the higher education course is inferior to him!
The student council president immediately approached me with a sly expression on her face.
What was up with her surprise attack?
Ah, oppa! You just took my breath away with that scene!
Do you want me to strangle you?
Thus began the journey of the shameless Hero and her greatpanions!
A littleter, Trainee Teacher announced that the other Hero had voluntarily resigned.
Chapter 253 - [13th Round] Hero’s Companion
Chapter 253 - [13th Round] Heros Companion
Of course, I would like to immediately kill the Demon Lord and make this world a better ce, but the party wasnt strong enough to defeat him yet.
Although I, the MAX-ss Hero, was an unusual case because I had been different from the rest ever since I was in the womb as my reincarnation, I didnt start that powerful.
At the beginning of the 1st round, there were many dark moments in my story.
In other words, the Hero had to ovee difficulties to grow.
Before I begin the meeting, I would like to express my gratitude to the two people from the intelligence team for their hard work. Thanks to the information youve gathered, it will be easier for us to clear the dungeon. Today well be going for
The student council president gatheredpanions and talked to them about how they would clear the next dungeon.
Many fools just wanted to storm through the ce, but she calmed them down without losing her smile in the process.
Mistress Hero! Ill lead everyone!
Hoho! I know and acknowledge your strength and courage, but this is not thest battle, is it? Even minor injuries can lead to dire consequences. In order to defeat the main boss of the dungeon, you need to preserve your strength. The chance when you can show what youre truly capable of is sure toe, and when it does, Ill be counting on you!
Hmm. Okay!
That was basically her tactic.
Ssosia looked displeased, but the Heros malepanions all seemed prepared to do anything the president asked of them.
I could see what she was doing, of course.
It wasnt coercion but a request.
She improved her party members mood by praising them before asking for a favor. Combining that with her tantalizing appearance, her sess was 99% guaranteed.
That wasnt all.
She divided responsibilities between partners so that there was nopetition.
She gave them roles ording to their abilities.
Reconnaissance, security, advance party, search team, support squad, medics
Thanks to that, their teamwork became more effective.
But there was something that struck me harder than all of those.
Not bad at all. Youre able to maintain a friendly rtionship with yourpanions.
She, of course,plimented those who stood out a little more than the rest, but other than that, they were all equal.
They were like bees guarding their queen bee, except bees were reced with men in their prime, and their queen was the student council president. That efficiently created a harem that would willingly do anything for her.
Hubby, judging by your expression, that shameless woman seems to impress you.
Well, to be honest, yes.
No matter how I looked at it, my 1st round was aplete failure. It was a journey of suffering, and mypanions were more like enemies blocking my path.
But you dont want to be like her, do you?
Thats true as well.
The Hero, who was supposed to look after the world, was busy looking after her party.
She didnt train at all and instead spent all her time trying to improve rtions with them.
I already thought it was strange since the first time we met.
Although she was the student council president, she had a rather lowbat power.
But now I understood how she gained that position.
She made good use of herpanions during her travels, which earned her high marks. However, because of that, she had no time to cultivate herself at all.
That was why she specialized in magic.
Since she was weak, she couldnt fight on the frontlines. Hence, she yed by her strengths and stationed herself in the rear.
Do you mind clearing the dungeon with the advance party?
Hearing the student council presidents request, I agreed.
Thanks to the local spirits, I already knew the dungeons structure by heart, but I wasnt part of the exploration team.
In order not to upset the bnce, I avoided interfering in the other divisions affairs.
I focused on fulfilling the role I was assigned to faithfully.
Oooooohhh!
Graaarggghhh!
The ce was teeming with mutant ogres that were raised by the dungeon boss, Sinister Mage A.
In contrast to themon members of their kind that charged into battle naked, the ogres before me wore durable armor and wielded weapons. They were also intelligent, allowing them to employ the use of tactics.
They were definitely an annoying opponent.
However, for someone who had reached the Demon Lords castle, eradicating all the other demons on the way, this was simply nothing.
I just gained a new upgrade, too.
Many heroes support me. I was armed with the cowardly power of friendship and love, because of which even the First Hero gritted his teeth with anger.
At this point, ogres were less than specks of dust to me.
Dear heroes, lets demonstrate what cooperation is.
Each character had a unique skill, and I could use them without stupid restrictions, such as only women being able to use a few of them.
And as a result, having tried all of them in the First Heros house, I had chosen a few of the most useful ones.
The ones that I liked.
FSHUH!
Now I could change the wings of the righteous hero.
On its tips, holes appeared simr to the barrel of a pistol.
They were no ornaments.
Through them, I fired spikes as sharp and thin as needles.
Those thorns were made of my bones and coated with a powerful poison I discovered through the assassin heroes bodies.
SHUK SHUK SHUK!
Shooting out from my wings, they buried themselves deep into the ogres bodies, instantly melting their flesh.
After all, it was potent enough to prove dangerous even for my senior. Considering they werent even the main boss of the dungeon, they naturally couldnt withstand it.
I wasnt worried, even if the spikes didnt hit their targets.
The poison coating couldnt retain its molecr structure for long, preventing it from harming the environment.
After all, righteous heroes took care of their surroundings!
Yes, I needed to earn a reward for that.
As your reward, I grant you the right to be my chair, Drug Hero!
Do you want me to evict you from my scalp?
Many spirits were waiting for the right time to usurp it from her.
What?! Stop lying! My beloved children will never dare take my throne!
Spirits, of course, werent as innocent as people believed them to be, but they were really obedient. The way they still tolerated her and didnt impeach her was the very evidence of that.
I wondered how the others rated my actions.
He instantly killed all the ogres
What are those ugly tentacles on his back?
Mistress Hero, who is that man?
Not bad.
There was no way the results could be detrimental for us.
Our detachment didnt sustain any damage, and we saved a lot of time!
Although my bodycked fluids and nutrients due to the poison I produced, it was only in small doses, so it wasnt that scary.
I didnt know what would have happened if the area had been as huge as my seniors house, but we were just in a medium-sized dungeon.
Youve matured, hubby. I thought you were going to use a technique so powerful it would destroy the entire Eastern Continent.
Do you take your husband for a fool? Does that amuse you?
Im serious. You did that just recently.
Thats because the First Hero was my opponent then.
The fallen First Hero shouldnt bepared to weak ogres. He might eavesdrop otherwise.
Let him listen and grit his teeth again.
My wife has a bad temper.
One shouldnt poke around in other peoples weaknesses.
I dont think you should be the one saying that, considering you were so excited about your new powers that you decided to try all of them all at once inside someone elses house. Thats why he kicked us out.
Hmph!
My senior was also a hero. He would forgive everything.
It was unlikely, though, considering he threatened the whole universe with war if his personal file wasnt deleted.
Talking about different matters, we made our way to the very depths of the dungeon.
I didnt care about mazes and traps.
The heroes cooperating with me provided me with their knowledge and information, and they had been in hundreds of dungeons.
This was my first time raiding this ce, but a map was already clearly drawn in my head as if I had been here several times already.
That wasnt because of skills, but experiences.
Even the dungeon boss in front of us looked puzzled.
Even I sometimes get lost here. How did you manage to avoid all the traps despite this being your first visit?
Hmm
I would have answered that it was because I was the MAX-ss Righteous Hero.
But I was just the Heros Companion now.
What was the best answer in this scenario?
? Tip: I dont think appeal or jobs matter in this regard. Wasnt it possible simply because youre Kang Han Soo?
That advice is perfect, Trainee Teacher!
Hey, Sinister Mage A. How I got here doesnt matter. All you should be thinking of is bing the Heros experience points. Stay and wait here. Shell being to deal with you soon.
I was a Retired Hero now.
I almost became the main character of this era, but my seniors tricks forced me to abandon my post for 12 years, causing the faculty to fire me.
But I didnt regret anything.
I wasnt interested in the Hero job in the first ce. Instead of fame and riches, I wished my mother wouldnt hit me with her racket too hard.
I needed to quickly return to Earth and kneel before my parents.
Listening to you talk about my mother-inw makes me think she can destroy the whole universe with one racket.
Hahahaha! Well, thats an exaggeration. My mom is just an ordinary housewife who loves tennis.
Sinister Mage A, listening to our conversation, had a gloomy expression on his face.
How can you have such conversations now!
What? Why are you talking nonsense? Youre just a loser who couldnt be an archmage because you couldnt keep your virginity.
He wasnt alone in this ce.
Theboratory where he experimented on monsters was on one side of this room, while weakened, bound, and naked girls were on the opposite side of it.
They looked like they no longer had any desire to continue living.
It was easy to guess how they were treated here.
How dare you insult me! I didnt be an archmage just because I didnt aspire to be one!
All losers say so.
If it were that easy, Fantasy wouldve already been filled with archmages.
Yourpanions are still wandering the maze, you idiot. By the time they get here, Id already be done with you. Ill have fun with your wife afterward until theres nothing left of herHuh?!
Oh! Sorry.
Old habits died hard.
I was going to keep him alive until the student council president arrived, but my hand slipped between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.
He died, Ssosia concluded, kicking the fallen mage several times.
No way! My hand just slipped a little!
Even the multiyered magic armor that protected his body turned to dust. You also turned him into experience points immediately, so even his Immortality skill couldnt help him. You couldnt stand listening to him speaking such nasty things about your wife, huh? How nice.
Shut up.
Pha! Thats really cute.
Tsk! Stop this useless talk already. Help me figure out a way to revive him instead.
Damn mage. If he kept his mouth shut, he would have lived for another hour.
Youre the one who started it. Anyway, are you stupid? Why dont you just call the Holy One.
Oh? Thats right.
While I was in the First Heros abode, 12 years passed. The 12th secondary education course had ended by the time we returned.
It was a pity that I couldnt see my son grow and be the Second Emperor of the Holy Mon Empire, but I had gone through the regression process so many times that I didnt dwell on it too much.
I shouted out a name that I hadnt called out to in years.
Rice Cake!
As if all this time waiting for me, a beautiful angel appeared.
The Snow Woman, who, with the help of spirits, tried to free the captive girls, spoke in amazement.
Such beautiful wings
It felt like I hadnt seen her in ages.
But never in my entire life could I have imagined the first words that woulde out of her mouth.
I was worried because you were kidnapped, but Im d youre okay, Master Kang Han Soo. Ssosia No, Mistress Fantasy.
Fantasy?
Only one being called Ssosia that in the entire universe.
Cowardly husband, I see you need an exnation?
Yes. Right now.
What had she done with my favorite heating pad?
Chapter 254 - [13th Round] Scenario
Chapter 254 - [13th Round] Scenario
To avoid misunderstandings, I would like to immediately rify that Hippolia, the Festivals manager, was created by Fantasy by putting her whole soul into her. I guess she can be considered her avatar.
You never talked about this before.
Did she juste up with this stupid excuse?
Well, youve never asked about it before either. It always seemed strange to me how you curse the system day in and day out but care so much about its avatar, though. The Saintess is the Goddesss representative, which means she shouldnt be separated from her. However, some cowardly Hero decided to ruin her anyway, causing everything to go haywire.
Taking advantage of a mission to guide the followers of demons who were heroes in the past, I corrupted her.
But I thought that was the end of it.
Fix her now.
If you dont fear my father or aunt taking her away from you, then Ill return her to her previous state.
What do you mean?
You made two mistakes. When you corrupted the Saintess, you imbued her with my dads Dark Energy, then bestowed upon her the power the angels received for winning the Festival. My aunt was the First Angel. All deities and angelse from her.
She had both Dark Energy and Divinity, which became a problem.
Therefore, Ssosia intervened, causing Saintess H to fall under the influence of the system.
So who are you now, Rice Pie?
Still me.
Is that so
Gently cing my hand on her waist, I pulled her to me and nted my lips on her.
At this point, I wasnt worried about Ssosia.
After all, this was thest time Id be able to do this.
Saintess Hs snow-white wings disappeared, and translucent spirit wings filled in their absence.
That wasnt all that changed.
? Race: Human Spirit
? Level: 1
? Job: Apostle (Patronage = Ability)
? Skills: Interpretation A
? Status: Submission, Rebirth, Divine Dragon
Her race changed from Angel to Human Spirit, her level and skills dropped, and her job changed from Saint to Apostle.
Only the essence of Saintess H remained, which I reorganized to free her from the systems influence. The rest had been confiscated.
Unsurprisingly enough, not everything went like clockwork.
Id understand if you cant forgive me for depriving you of your powers and giving you a cloaca, Rice Pie.
Nature-born spirits didnt need genitals.
Boris at least managed to retain her former nature, but Saintess H didnt seed since she was the Avatar of the System in her past life.
I couldnt just leave any seeds of disobedience alone.
It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that Saintess H was reborn as a spirit.
For as long as I can be with you, master, Ill be satisfied.
I could no longer call her Saintess H since her job had changed now, but I wasnt particrly worried about it.
I could just keep calling her Rice Pie!
You shouldnt give such a name to a beautiful girl.
Rice Pie herself didnt find any problems with it, but Ssosia began to be indignant.
Hmm? What makes you think I care about others opinions?
In the past, present, and future, Rice Pie was my property.
Ever since I took her out of the Festival of Heroes, that had already been decided. Hence, I had to repay her for her loyalty to me.
I wouldnt allow anyone other than me to control her.
My responsibility and conscience would suffer otherwise.
Do you even know what conscience is
Mistress Ssosia, you seem to underestimate my master. He couldve returned to Earth already, but hes still here doing the inhabitants of this world favor upon favorpletely free of charge. His actions all stem from conscience and responsibility. Rice Pie replied for me.
The way she addressed Ssosia didnt change.
I see Youre right. I admit to it. I underestimated him In more ways than one. The cowardly demoness smiled.
But I knew what she regretted all too well.
Give up. Youll never be able to emotionally manipte me.
No. I have an excruciatingly painful amount of time to keep doing this.
Ssosia was cursed to always be second in everything.
Therefore, the more I loved the third woman, the higher the force she could push on me.
It had nothing to do withbat power.
It was simply based on indisputable and natural reasoning.
Are you still looking for a third?
Ha! You just wait. Ill find her soon enough and make you into a love ve. Think what you want, but I was the one who made you call HippoliaRice Cake. Shes your first, isnt she?
Who knows?
How could she know what even I didnt know?
No, Im right. Pretending to be indifferent to her wont make a difference. Your own emotions are more noticeable by others than by yourself.
Thats true! I can clearly see through my dear nephews mien what he thinks of you. Heeheehee!
Aunt! Please! Ssosias behavior changed instantly due to the First Spirits intervention.
That aside
Rice Pie, can you save this mage?
I felt sorry for her, but I was in a hurry.
Resurrecting the deceased Sinister Mage A was mandatory in order to carry out the rebirth process.
I didnt think she would lose her job either.
You dont have to worry. My resurrection method has changed a bit, but it will still provide the same result. All that I require to restore his body and soul is your experience points.
That simple?
I provided her with experience points, and Apostle Rice Pie resurrected Sinister Mage A.
I didnt even notice that my experience points diminished.
It was like filling a 1.5-liter bottle with water from ake.
That was how worthless the dungeon boss was, most likely caused by his inability to keep his virginity and be an archmage.
Arent you underestimating your opponent too much, my cowardly husband?
Shut up and help me stage this.
Stage this?
The journey will proceed as nned for as long as the Heroes and inflicts a crushing blow on Sinister Mage A. Stop standing around and tie up the newly saved girls already, Snow Woman. Sorry,dies, but can you take your clothes off again? I just need a way to swiftly let the Hero and herpanions know just how vile and evil Sinister Mage A is while also showing all the atrocities that hes done. Id also appreciate it if you cry a little once they show up.
There was little time left.
Judging by the dying words of Sinister Mage A, in about an hour, the student council president and her dummies would reach us.
All preparations had to bepleted before they could reach us.
Hey hubby, I get the gist of your clever n, but our antagonist here is shaking with fear. Are you sure this is going to work?
As Ssosia said, the dungeon boss was terrified.
That wouldplicate things.
I would like theing Hero to kill you, but I will give you a chance to avoid this fate, Sinister Mage A. Kill all of herpanions but make sure you keep her alive. Then I will let you go.
Really?! Are you serious?
Because of my seniors tricks, I resigned, but ten years ago, I was known as the MAX-ss Righteous Hero. Once I let you go, I wont even try to chase and y you. Trust me.
O-okay
Hope permeated over his fearful expression!
However, realizing that the strength of the Hero heading here was enormous, he again fell into despair.
Wed be exposed at this rate.
Theres no other option. Ill have to lend you my power.
I immediately transferred experience points to his body.
My level is rising! My power and energy are still surging!
He regained his lost hope once more.
I wanted to give him more, but his vessel was too small. Such were the limitations of a weakling who couldnt even be an archmage.
Itd be strange if theres not a single ogre in their final battle, considering you control their kind. Rice Pie, find any ogres we can use in thisb.
Yes, master.
Upon death, monsters returned to nature within a few minutes.
Hence, whenever wizards wanted to investigate monsters, they used magic that paralyzed their entire bodies.
Fortunately, there were still live ogres in theb.
However, their veins had been cut off and had foreign substances embedded into them to prevent them from regenerating. They were like living stuffed animals.
That wasnt where my problems ended.
Foolish ogre, praise the greatest Master Mon.
Oooogh?
Even with just a wobble of their bodies, even the lowest life form could be strong with his grace!
? Race: Super Mountain Ogre
? Level: 999+
? Job: Predator (Predation Absorption )
? Skills: Physical Strength Z, Immortality Z, Fortitude Z, Size MAX, Endurance MAX
? Status: Amplification, Modification, Courage
Except in special cases, artificial skill upgrades were limited to MAX rank.
It was the same for me.
But there were tricks to bypass that rule.
The Soul Spirit King took over the ogres mind and ordered him to sacrifice his skills to the transcendent.
The donated skills then quickly reached MAX rank again.
Thanks to the artificial skill rankings that Master Mon taught me, I managed to give him 3 Z-rank skills, which was a pretty good result for a 5-minute effort.
His upgraded race was also a nice bonus.
Making a Hero-level ogre This goes beyond crazy, my cowardly husband. This is more like cheating or fraud
The student council president and her dummies would arrive in eight minutes.
Before they did, I made another heroic ogre and positioned the two to Sinister Mage As nks.
Wow You finally look like an actual viin.
Th-thanks
Having changed his clothes and hairstyle, he now looked fitting for his role.
Nude beauties elegantlyid on his bed.
Once their hands had been untied, theyd be able to pick up their clothes and belongings under the bed once more and return home.
I wasnt using them for free.
In exchange for their assistance, I gave them a little sponsorship.
Lets go over the script onest time. As soon as the Hero with the dummies enters through this door, you wave your cloak and say
***
Hahaha! Wee to Hell, you worthless beings! This ce shall be yourpanions grave, but dont worry. Ill be taking great care of you, Hero!
What?
The president of the student council fell for Sinister Mage As provocations.
Everything was going just as I intended.
We managed to prepare a lot, but many scenes remained unworked.
For example, the moment they asked him where I went, everything would immediately fall apart.
That was how bad this y was.
However, if he could initiate the battle immediately, then everything would be fine since those moments would be omitted.
And so, their battle began.
Oooogh!
Agh! This ogre is too strong!
Damn it! He keeps recovering even after Ive decapitated him!
Be careful! Theyre different from all previous ogres!
One of themsing from behind! Brace yourselves!
The two monstrosities, reinforced by Master Mons teachings, charged at the dummies.
They easily broke through the Sword King and the Mercenary Kings defenses and struck Sage, who was preparing some kind of spell at the back of the party.
Aaaaagh!!
His blood sttered all over the ground, but this time, it wasnt because of a nosebleed.
Even his Great Magic Shield couldnt withstand the Z-rank Ogres onught.
That was the end for him.
There was no trace of other wizards and healers, and the student council presidents support team didntst even three seconds.
Did I overdo it?
Ive never heard Mon teaching such a cowardly method Ssosia muttered, hiding nearby as we watched what was happening.
Mon
Master Mon just swayed modestly.
Hmm Herpanions are weaker than I thought. Moving on to n B.
n B?
Sinister Mage A will lose control after getting too carried away with his power.
Only the student council president, the Sword King, and the Mercenary King survived.
The dungeon boss was already beginning to rejoice at the victory. He smiled slyly as he ogled at the student council presidents skin visible under her torn clothes.
However
Kh!
Oooogh!
The trap I set up went off, and he began to overflow with so much force that he could no longer contain or control it.
The surviving ogre freed himself from the mages control and attacked his own master.
As the two fought, the student council president, having prepared herself for death in the event of failure, delivered a decisive blow.
Aaaaahh!!
Oooooohhh!
Her unique unquenchable me quickly turned Sinister Mage A and the ogre into a mountain of ashes.
Victory had been achieved!
Everything went ording to my ns, but it was a pity that Sword King Alex survived.
Good oue, isnt it?
Youre more suitable for the Demon Lord role than my father
Hey! How can you call me, the greatest Prophet to ever exist, a Demon Lord? Im a noblepanion who shares glory and experience points with the Hero.
Just like a Demon Lord.
Shut up.
At this point, I really didnt know anymore.
Chapter 255 - [13th Round] Running into a Wild Dragon!
Chapter 255 - [13th Round] Running into a Wild Dragon!
Thanks to my help, the student council presidents journey proceeded smoothly.
But there were always sacrifices behind sess.
Although Sword King Alex, famous for his cockroach-like vitality, decided to stay with the Hero, the Mercenary King found the mission too dangerous, stating that no amount of money would be enough to stop him from leaving.
But that wasnt a big problem.
She still had manypanions, after all.
She had the MAX-ss Righteous Prophet, a powerful demon who betrayed her father for love, the Snow Woman that had feathers of the highest quality, the First Spirit equipped with a paired ring, the Wind and Water Spirit Kings under his armpits, the Earth and Fire Spirit Kings guarding his groin, and the Soul Spirit King, protecting his Holy Spear. Many other spirits also apanied them.
There were also Rice Pie, Green Cake, and Boris, all of whom could be summoned anytime. Shadow A, which I left on the Southern Continent, could also be called forth.
All in all, the student council presidents group was quite impressive!
I didnt really betray my father for the sake of love, but you wont let me sleep at night if I argue against it, so Ill just keep quiet about it. Still, no matter how you look at it, isnt this your journey? All thepanions you introduced, except Alex, belong to you. Besides Ssosia began grumbling as she red at the sleeping beauty hugging my shoulder.
Are you jealous, Second Demon?
No!
Like what I did back in my glory days, shes recovering in the arms of apanion. And in this group, besides Alex and me, there are no other men.
And I was objectively a hundred times better than Alex!
Hence, every time we stayed in expensive hotels, the student council president came to my bedroom at night.
Well lets go. I didnte here in the middle of the night to find out which one of you is the real hero.
Why did you, then?
That idiot ising.
There was only one person whom Ssosia called an idiot.
The First Hero.
But in this era, he was just an ordinary hero who helped every beauty he could find, regardless of race
Hes already defeated the Cursed Queen Malfaricia?
Dont be so surprised.
When will he arrive?
Soon. Hmm With his current speed, maybe ten seconds?
You shouldve told me earlier!
She wasnt kidding. I could feel it now too.
My seniors younger version was weaker than he currently was, but the energy emanating from hispanions was unusual.
We were now in the Central Continent.
The student council president decided to go here since it hadnt yet been properly developed. It was also to avoid ovepping with the First Hero on the Eastern Continent.
Due to that, our journey went smoothly.
But they were bound to cross paths sooner orter.
The number of dungeons and ruins that the Hero could plunder was limited, after all.
What should we do? Our Hero isnt ready yet.
Even at this moment, she was still naked and slept like a baby.
One could immediately tell by the dark spots under her eyes and the bruises on her buttocks that she suffered from extreme fatigue.
This was a problem.
Youre the one who bruised her ass, you savage!
Hmm It cant be helped. I, the MAX-ss Righteous Prophet, will have to act as the Heros representative and proxy.
Has that been your n all this time, my cunning hubby?
What are you talking about? Youre jumping to conclusions again.
This wasnt the first time bruises appeared on our Heros butt. It just was just a coincidence that they appeared this time again.
All of this feels suspicious for some reason
Enough with the idle chatter and follow me. He most likely wants us to get out of the hotel and face him as fast as we can.
As far as I knew my senior, he wasnt crazy enough to start a fight in a city full of civilians.
However, I couldnt say with certainty that he waspletely above doing such atrocities.
After all, he would willingly kill millions of people for the sake of beautiful women, and he wouldnt find any problems with it.
? Announcement: A message has arrived for cadet Kang Han Soo: due to the voluntary resignation of another Hero and the candidates low marks, the teaching staff has decided to reinstate you. All of your questions shall be answered by the trainee. We pray for your unlimited growth. That will be all.
Their timing was impable.
They couldnt even personally convey such important news. Instead, they put all the responsibilities on Trainee Teachers shoulders. They definitely had no conscience.
? Shrug: Isnt that an indicator of how much my senior colleagues trust me? To officially be a teacher, I need to work for 200 years on a probationary period, but I can now significantly shorten that period, and its all because of you, Kang Han Soo. Thank you so much!
Oh I dont know if I should be thanked for that.
I didnt do anything. The faculty members were just sneakily manipting her.
? Justification: Its not that bad. Once Im officially hired, then Ill have a stable ie. In this era of endless wars, such a job is rare. Two centuries are nothing to me if thats taken into ount. Ive always dreamed of bing a teacher anyway.
If you find all of this beneficial, then Ill just support you, Trainee Teacher!
Anyway
Did I just regain my title as the Hero?
? Confirmation: Yes, but not on paper yet. I want to sort this out quickly, but some of my senior colleagues are opposed to this decision, so itll probably take some time. Judging by the atmosphere, though, youll probably be fully reinstated within ten days. Youll definitely receive a notification after everythings been finalized.
I see! So Im the main character again!
Cowardly hubby What are you doing? Ssosia looked at me like I was going crazy as I began undressing while we walked along the hotel corridor.
Trainee Teacher said I was reinstated as the Hero. I need to look the part.
I hung the Holy Sword Nucleon on my belt and donned angelic armor paired with a majestic cloak.
Ipleted my look with a scarf made of the Snow Womans feathers!
You look like a child who just received a new toy.
Really? But I just have my usual expression disyed.
Thats what you think.
Ignoring Ssosias reproach, I solemnly walked to the exit from the hotel and soon met with my seniors group.
I chuckled as I looked at them.
What kind of scam is this?
He had girls of extraordinary beauty with him, all of them having different hair colors.
Red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, green, pink
Hispanions were members of the many dragon races.
Their party wasnt onlyposed of women, though.
The Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, huh? There were times when that tyrant, whom even my father feared, became that idiotspanion.
For the first time, I saw my dear friend in human form.
His outfit, much like his hair and eyes, was all ck except for the eye-catching yellow scarf around his neck. He looked like a middle-aged man with a cold, murderous gaze.
Why is he with him? I asked Ssosia, although her answer wouldnt have made much of a difference in our situation anyway.
Chronic dragon curiosity. He found the idiots bravery interesting, so he began to follow him. As a result, they became friends. Considering hell never let a single skirt pass by him without interruption, and Noebius isnt interested in women at all, females cant spark conflict between them.
So This whole ordeal is about the strength of Brave?
There was a time when I, too, relied on this power and was fascinated by it.
The vain Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, couldnt refuse the opportunity to grow stronger.
Then why were other dragons following him?
Honestly, I wasnt interested in that at all. The First Hero couldnt care less about race. He seduced every girl he found to be his type.
Not all.
Well, except for a couple of women.
Why was this cowardly demon being so nitpicky with my words?
Can you see that green-haired dragon standing next to the Dragon King?
Oh! She has such big breasts.
Thats the Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti. Shes the first Saintess to gain the ability to revive the dead and give them eternal life. The ones that seeded her borrowed their power from God, but she worked miracles on her own.
Yes, I remember seeing her before.
She was among thepanions Phantom King Shakespeare summoned using his G-rank skill.
At that time, she was limited to her verbal battle against Green Cake, leaving me with no knowledge about her fighting style, but judging by Ssosias words, she specialized in healing.
If a fight starts between you two, make sure you take her out first. Otherwise, youll never be able to win.
She made it sound like that lizards healing ability was a scam, but she didnt interest me.
The dragon with blue hair was the one that caught my attention.
I just met her quite recently.
Cursed Queen Malfaricia.
There was a thick cor around her neck, clearly showing that she was enved.
Her renounced expression made what she was thinking about unclear.
Based on what I heard, she was defeated in a battle of attrition and was then imprisoned as a ve.
I had encountered that power before.
It was the one used by the priestess who watched over the training cave on the Northern Continent and tried to deceive and subjugate me.
Contrary to her expectations, I was the one who subdued her. Still, I couldnt deny that it was a rather dangerous moment.
Prophet Kang Han Soo, I challenge you to battle! My seniors younger version proimed menacingly.
I replied with a smile.
If that nonsense was all you wanted to say, you shouldnt have waited for my wife to finish her boring exnations.
Hmph. I provided you with useful information, yet youre still not satisfied with me. Ssosia sounded offended.
Stop being so shallow and ignorant. Im just provoking my enemy.
Huh? Oh, you just sounded so genuine that I thought you were serious.
I didnt deny it.
Regardless, even though I had already announced I was provoking him, the First Hero still fell for it.
Let the Snow Woman go!
Oh my God! Youre still mad at me for that?
The wizard who previously looked after the Snow Woman chose me as her new guardian, and she herself agreed.
Yet he was still holding a grudge against me? How pathetic.
I dont know about now, but in the past, that idiot was extremely persistent, especially when it came to matters like this. He never gave up no matter how many times women rejected him. He went to great lengths to win over the Dragon Queen Erdanti, who was unrequitedly in love with the Dragon King Noebius, whose identity wasnt known yet at the time. Also Oh, he might start a war if his reputation gets damaged, so Ill stop here.
I knew the rest anyway.
Noebius would be defeated as the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, but bound by the strength of Brave, hed be unable to die, thus bing the angels pet for a very long time.
I gave the First Hero the signature smile of the Righteous Hero.
Come back once youve trained long and hard, senior. Youre not ready to fight me yet.
What?!
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
I didnt want long conversations.
I aimed my wings of the righteous hero towards my senior, who looked offended. As if pulling the trigger of a submachine gun, I then shot him with thorns.
Aaaagghh!!
A surprise attack?!
Agh!
People put on armor to protect their bodies and vital organs. However, the dragons that imitated humans never thought about that.
Face, neck, shoulders, belly, thighs, calves
Their outfits were so revealing that taking off their clothes wouldnt make that much of a difference.
Hence, what ensued was total annihtion!
If only they were in their dragonian forms, which covered their bodies with thick scales, this wouldnt have happened.
Tsk! They brought shame to their race.
I think the cause of that is the huge difference between yourbat powers and not their outfits, my cowardly hubby
Well, that too.
The First Hero and his party instantly retired from the scene.
However, not everyone died.
Master Noebius, you protected m
Make no mistake, Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti. You survived simply because youre next to me.
Yes. I know that.
Youre just as stupid as the Queen of Wisdom Malfaricia, who got involved in a senseless fight over some dwarf.
Three dragons survived from my first offensive since I was reinstated as the Hero.
The Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius.
Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti.
Cursed Queen Malfaricia.
Malfaricia was supposed to stay alive ording to my n, though.
Only once we had met in the Eastern Continent should I y her, whose identity would be Cursed Queen Malfaricia by then, as the MAX-ss Righteous Hero.
But the same couldnt be said for the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion and the Divine Dragon Queen.
No, I had already expected my dear friend to bepletely unscathed by such an attack. Only the Divine Dragon Queen surpassed my expectations.
What a peculiar man spirit. I feel my energy in you.
My attack only slightly damaged Noebius clothes, revealing not human skin but dark scales.
The Divine Dragon Queen blushed at the sight.
BOOM!
While I was distracted, Noebius punched me No, heshed his tail at me, which he hid behind his back.
He responded to my surprise attack with his own!
Heh
Wiping the blood from the corners of my lips with the back of my hand, I smiled.
If I didnt get serious, Id die here before I could properly greet my father-inw.
I started to gather the power of heroes.
? Request: Please do not destroy the
Naturally! Believe in me, the protagonist!
Chapter 256 - [13th Round] Because of Love~
Chapter 256 - [13th Round] Because of Love~
With the wings of the righteous hero pping, I flew high into the sky.
If I arranged our battle in the city, its people would instantly be killed.
Id then hear the systems annoying voice again, telling me that wed have to re-record everything from the beginning.
I was a little worried that he wouldnt follow me, but my dearrade immediately changed his form from human to dragonian and began his chase.
? Race: Dark Dragonian
? Level: 999+
? Job: Traveler (Travel Fighting Spirit )
? Skills: Taekwondo ZZ, Dragon Scale ZZ, Fortitude ZZ, Physical Strength ZZ, Fighting Spirit Z
? Status: Transformation
Though he was able to repel my attack, Noebiuss skills werent as high as I thought since he wasnt in his twilight years yet, which was often the case when I met him. He was just a young traveler right now.
Regardless, hisbat power was still great enough to hurt me.
Dragons were a fraudulent race, but Noebius was exceptional even among his kind.
I think were high enough.
How nice of you.
The Noebius I knew couldnt care less about people and just spewed his deadly breath wherever, whenever, and however, he wanted.
However, his younger version was different.
He was belligerent and inquisitive, but at the same time, he tried to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.
I found it strange.
When buildings were being made, engineers would first negotiate with thendowner and notify the residents near the construction site. However, they never paid any attention to the insects that lived there.
From the perspective of dragons, humans were just microbes.
Therefore, those of their kind who took on human forms and decided to live among them could be normal.
Noebius was acting like that right now. He cared about people.
Yourepletely different from your usual self.
And your words remain strange to me.
Fair enough.
Our aerial battle began.
We didnt try to attack each other from a distance but fought in closebat, using only our arms and legs.
It was time to use the real power of heroes.
Their knowledge and experience helped me so much that I started feeling like a martial arts master.
My new ability wasnt a skill.
Unlike skills, which could be pumped up to MAX rank and then raised to the next level by sacrificing other skills, the power of heroes wasnt even reflected in my stats.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Likewise, my dear friend wasnt so simple either.
While I absorbed the experience and knowledge of other heroes, Noebius gained his through his long life.
My knowledge was much broader due to therge number of heroes that I devoured, but the data in Noebiuss mind were morebat-specific. Hence, he easily negated that gap.
Our fight proved tough, even though his younger version was weakpared to his maximum potential.
If so
Hey, Noebius, how about we call it a day here? We both dont want this to continue anyway.
Hearing my suggestion, Noebius stopped and moved away from me.
Youre right, but I still cant seem to fathom why my scentsing from you.
Aha! That was the problem.
I answered naturally:
Because we arerades. You dont know it yet, but in the future, you and I will meet and get to know each other.
There is nothing I can do if you dont believe me.
Are you saying you came from the future? That is definitely interesting, but friend or foe, it doesnt exin why I smell my scent from you. Whether you answer or not does not concern me. I can just find out for myself throughbat.
Ha! There is nothing I can do if you dont believe me.
? Anxiety: Cadet Kang Han Soo
If we continued at this rate, the scope of our battle would increase exponentially.
I didnt care what happened to the locals and me, but I would never want to give the beautiful Trainee Teacher any trouble.
I couldnt bring myself to hurt my secret friend!
Hmm. A way to prove it, you say?
***
Have you started to go bald, my hubby? Ssosia asked me with a serious tone when I descended to the ground, having agreed to a temporary truce with Noebius.
I put on a helmet to hide all the hair that had fallen out, but Ssosia immediately suspected something was wrong since I usually didnt wear hats.
The thing is
Auntie! Look at this, my beloved and respected aunt! My husband isnt even a hundred years old yet, but he already has a bald spot! Isnt that a valid enough reason to file for divorce? Ignoring my words, Ssosiained to the First Spirit, who notarized our marriage.
But she wasnt allowed to separate herself from me.
Because of the cold and hard helmet, the First Spirit moved from my head to my shoulders temporarily and busied herself justughing at all this.
Im not going bald, and baldness is not a sin.
That condition could be acquired from defective hair products or stress. However, while keeping ones hair healthy was rtive to keeping themselves in good shape, its leading cause was genes.
And my father didnt have a bald head.
Although my grandfather had little hair, the reason for that was his old age. At least, I wanted to believe that was the case.
? Constion: Its okay. After all, hair isnt what makes a man!
This isnt what it looks like, Trainee Teacher!
My dear friend from the future, I saw a hidden message on your scales, whichplicates things. Im just a wanderer now. I cannot give you anything in return, said Noebius, who had returned with me.
I was wondering what the message was, but I didnt ask about it.
It wasnt written in amonnguage, after all.
A dragons whole life was recorded on their scales, and by reading his own history on the scales he gave me, Noebius learned what kind of life he would live at the end of his years and what he would feel then.
It couldnt be exined in words.
Master N-Noebius?!
Noebius grabbed Erdanti, who had turned into a human, around her waist and hugged her thin body.
Though surprised by his actions, the green beauty soon rested her head on his wide chest, enjoying the moment.
Come with me, Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti.
Yes! I will follow you wherever you go!
Their rtionship progressed quickly!
He was a little assertive, but judging by Erdantis heart-shaped eyes, she liked it.
It seemed that the scales that Noebius passed on to me influenced his younger versions state of mind.
FSHUKH
Spreading his ck dragon wings and preparing to fly away, Noebius looked at me and left me with a few words.
I dont know why my future self hates humans, the members of his own race, and angels so much. Since youre from the future, youre most likely aware of the reason, but I will not ask for it, for I have already stepped on a different path.
Okay.
It was unfortunate that I didnt get any rewards.
I dont know what happened between you, but thanks to you, Sir Hero, my dream hase true. I want to give you all my jewelry, but the cost of the wedding Oh! In any case, I would like to share my life energy, my power, with you.
Erdanti, delighted by the sudden turn of events, readily offered me a reward in her poor boyfriends stead, who had nothing but a handsome face.
She would definitely make a good wife.
Erdantis strength was in life energy.
Through it, she could free one from the bonds of death.
I didnt know how long its duration would be since the Erdanti before me was just a version that the system created and not the real her, but it certainly wouldnt be superfluous.
I pray for your good fortune.
A bright light enveloped Noebius as he rose to the skies. Soon enough, his original appearance appeared.
It was iparable to his size during his twilight years, but even now, he was ten timesrger than Green Cake and could destroy an entire city with just hisnding.
Eridani also returned to her dragon form as she followed him.
Dragons were born hermaphrodites, but that green dragon sounded like she was a woman.
She wasnt as aggressive as Noebius but rather was as sweet as Green Cake.
Grrrraaaaarrrr!
Griiiihhh!
The ck and green dragons soon disappeared behind the clouds.
Only the blue dragon remained.
Cursed Queen Malfaricia.
Since my seniors younger version had died, she was now free, but she still seemed unable to move.
Thanks.
But it didntst that long. Perhaps she just came to her senses a little toote.
Long time no see.
So you are that Hero. Thank you for avenging me and freeing me. Having lost everything, I have nothing to offer you, but I will try to give you whatever you desire as soon as possible. If you want, I can help you earn a reputation for yourself.
If I defeated her, I would receive the title Dragon yer.
It was an achievement second only to defeating the Demon Lord!
It was true that my reputation would grow as soon as I killed the infamous Cursed Queen Malfaricia.
But I shook my head.
What good would it do if I killed you now? If I wanted to do that, I already wouldve done so.
Thats true.
The rest of the dragons had already died in the form of beautiful women.
If they were in their dragon forms, then it wouldve been possible to rip out their hearts and use them for my own gain, but their parts were useless since in human form, except for their souls and abilities, they were no different from humans.
Their bodies slowly made their way back to nature.
The red dragon was enveloped in fire and soon turned into ash, and the blue dragon turned into water and returned to the ground. An earthen mound appeared where the brown dragon fell, looking simr to a grave.
All but their clothes and personal belongings disappeared.
The same goes for his Holy Sword.
Because my senior emerged from a womans womb, his tattered body didnt go anywhere.
I picked up the First Holy Sword.
It was a masterpiece. The Dwarf Prince apparently poured his heart and soul into making it.
Sir Hero, this is a rude request, but if you dont want my life, could you give me that sword? Malfaricia asked me carefully.
I answered her with a question of my own.
Is it because this is thest creation of your favorite dwarf?
Before, I would have said that it is not, but yes, it is. I love the works of the Dwarf Prince. His paintings, weapons, sculptures, dishes, rings I sincerely loved everything he did for me.
So she wanted to pick up hisst piece.
The Dwarf Prince put all his life into creating the First Holy Sword, which ultimately resulted in his death by exhaustion.
However, wasnt all of that my seniors fault since he was the one who ordered this weapon from him?
Only the victim knew the truth.
I get it, so Ill give you a choice. Would you rather have this sword or your dwarf back?
Huh? What
Dont waste my time. Give me a straight answer.
Of course, Id choose the prince Are you toying with me? Why are you asking such meaningless questions
Because its not meaningless at all. Rice Cake!
My wonderful apostle heeded my call.
The snow-white characteristics of angels emanated from her before, but her glow now had turned emerald. It seemed like the Divine Dragon Queens power had influenced her.
The procedure was simple.
I destroyed the First Holy Sword.
They said that outstanding works of art contained the soul of its creator.
It was just a pretty expression on Earth, but here in Fantasy, they literally did contain their makers souls.
Ego-Swords weremon here, which contained someones spirit.
If the soul of the Dwarf Prince hadnt been imprisoned in the First Holy Sword, he most likely wouldnt have died.
Oh I-I thought I was dead for sure
In ce of the broken Holy Sword, like a monster born of nature, a dwarf appeared.
Prince!
Kh- A hug?! Mistress Malfaricia is hugging me! Am I dreaming?!
I will not lose you again!
Having dealt with the Great Disasters of the Central and Eastern Continents, I had finallypleted them, finalizing their positions in textbooks as intermediate bosses.
Ironically, three of them were spoiled by love.
Oh! That applied to me too, didnt it?
Hmm? So you do love me after all, my cowardly husband.
Shut up.
The time hade for me to file aint to my father-inw that gave me his daughter, ultimately ending my cloudless life.
Chapter 257 - [13th Round] The Demon King’s Arrangement
Chapter 257 - [13th Round] The Demon Kings Arrangement
They often said that history was made at night.
The student council president, who was supposed to be asleep and unaware that she was fired, disappeared from our hotel bed.
At first, I just thought she had grown tired of the flush toilet and decided to relieve herself on the street instead, but after waiting until morning, she still didnt return.
The One-day Hero has taken her sorrowful departure!
You didnt have to say that, my cowardly hubby
Sword King Alex decided to stay with me despite the disappearance of the student council president, his employer, which bothered me a little.
Telling him that doing so would be very dangerous proved useless. I asked for the reason behind his actions instead.
Who the Hero is or how perilous our path bes doesnt matter to me. I just want to see the end of this journey with my own eyes.
That philosophical statement didnt at all fit into Alexs savage image.
I told him to do as he desired, then skipped the intermediate stage of the adventure. Using the Snow Womans feather, I went straight to the Demon Lords castle.
I had grown tired of helping the residents of Fantasy during my time as the student council presidentspanion. They shifted responsibilities to other people way too much for my liking.
Dont twist the story, my cowardly hubby. The president sorted everything out herself. All you did was stand on the sidelines and watch.
This is all a misunderstanding. I had tofort her every time she felt troubled, you know.
You only ever did that at night.
Did you want me to do it in the afternoon as well, you minx?
Dont try to change the subject!
FSHUH!
I, the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, along with mypanions, used spatial transference, swiftly moving to the southern part of the Central Continent, where the Demon Lord lived.
***
How annoying.
Magic circles were installed all over the Demon Lords castle to prevent spatial movement, disabling us fromnding right within his abode.
Hence, we were forced to use the normal entrance, upon which the demons patrolling the castle entrance immediately found us.
Invaders!
Kill them!
Better take them alive!
Did they really care for the Demon Lord Ssosias daughter so little? Did my father-inw not feel sorry for me at all after giving her to me?
Theyre not giving me a cold wee, my dear hubby. This is just the first time theyve seen me. Ordinary employees of anyrge corporation dont often meet or know their bosss family members.
You should show them your business card, then.
I will. I dont want them to die in vain because of you.
Ssosia used her GG-rank Dark Energy.
Demons hierarchy was based on Dark Energy, which was why they immediately dropped to their knees and bowed upon experiencing her prowess firsthand.
Servants, knights, barons, dukes, marquises, princes, archdukes Before her overwhelming power, everyone was equal. No demon dared block our path as we made our way to her father.
It didnt take long for us to arrive at the castles maze-like interior, which couldnt dy us even for a second despite ourck of a guide. After all, its structure remained the same as it had always been.
No developments, I see.
Its not that this ce hasnt improved. Theres just been no need to do it, considering its been decided that this areas difficulty is already sufficient as it is. The Hero might die if there were too many traps around, and the Demon Lords image wouldve been damaged if the route leading to him was too simple.
Are you the one who designed this ce?
What makes you say that?
Youre in a hurry to protect its reputation, and youre defending it too much.
Objectively speaking, the Demon Lords castle was just horrible.
Everything about this ce was arranged to ensure that three or four of the Herospanions wouldnt reach the final goal, but I never experienced that throughout any of my thirteen rounds.
And it wasnt because I was powerful.
It was all because its terrible floor n couldnt stop invaders at all.
Traps were scattered like mines all over the castle, with some even sending any unfortunate individuals to a freefall if they so much as stepped on the wrong spot on the floor.
However, even if they did fall into such a trap, all they would need to do was climb up from where theynded back to the upper levels. At best, all they caused were mild inconveniences.
It wouldve been a different story if spikes were waiting at the bottom to instantly kill thepanions.
In general, they were just time-consuming.
The Ssosia I knew wasnt that generous. She was a cowardly demoness who distracted her opponent with her mean chest and exploited that opportunity tounch an offensive.
However, since she kept defending this ces useless security system instead of criticizing it, I thought there was something I was missing behind all of this.
I pondered about it for a moment.
Her father, the Demon Lord, owned this castle. That meant she had to have her own personal room here that she used whenever she came to visit for a few days.
She would never allow anyone to reach it, considering that was where she hid her underwear. Failing to defend it properly could have her prized belongings looted and plundered.
That only made me confused even more as to why she set up the traps so foolishly.
Everything about this felt suspicious.
Tsk! I dont like this. Youre gradually learning more and more about me. Youre also starting to sound like my actual husband.
I already know everything about you. I even know the shape of your buttocks better than you do.
That just means youre a pervert!
The structure of the Demon Lords castle was already forever imprinted in my head. Unless the demons interfered, there was no way Id step on the traps.
Ah! Sir Herooo!!
However, just because Id never fall for such cowardly tactics didnt mean the dummies with me wouldnt as well.
Even though I already warned them that there were traps all over the ce, the Snow Woman stepped on one of them anyway, causing her to fall.
It couldve been avoided if only she took flight like an actual harpy, but she seemed to have forgotten about her racial features.
Dont me her. Its not that she forgot.
What is it, then?
How else could that be exined?
You didnt notice the signs saying flying is prohibited here, did you?
I did see them, but were supposed to be invaders! Why do we have to follow this ces rules?!
Thats no different from smoking in a non-smoking area while nobodys looking. You should stop living like that, husband.
I cant believe a cowardly demons teaching me about morals.
Just where did this life of mine bring me?
Go ahead, Hero. Ill save the Snow Woman and catch up with you together. Shes armless, which worries me. Alex insisted like the true gentleman that he was. He stepped on the same trap the harpy did and quietly fell down.
Watching him go, I sighed.
Jerk. I know hes not one of my originalpanions, but he should at least ask for permission first and wait for my instructions before doing something so nonsensical.
This castles traps werent fatal, but they werent that simple either.
Even if they fell for the same trap, they wouldnt necessarily end up in the same ce.
In other words, Sword King Alex and the Snow Woman were unlikely to meet downstairs.
His decision to rescue her was in vain!
These tricks werent meant to kill us. They were meant to split up the Heros Party and attack the members once they had detached from the group.
Still, if only they installed spikes at the bottom, those two wouldve been dead already, and the demons wouldve avoided a lot of hassle and casualties.
Why do you insist so much for the traps to be improved, dear husband?
What do you mean?
Im just curious if you actually want to see yourpanions, with whom you share your grief and joy, again, or if you just want them to die inside the trap as a consequence of their own recklessness.
Isnt the answer to that obvious?
I know how you feel. Ive been that idiotspanion for too long, standing by him from his days as a rookie until the moment he defeated my father. I even watched my dad kill all of hispanions instantly with my own two eyes. Words cannot describe what I felt at that moment What? Whats with that look on your face?
She wasnt making any sense, so I didnt really know how to react.
Make no mistake, Ssosia. Its all about simple logic. To us, theyre allies, but to our enemies, theyre just invaders. The demons couldve saved a lot of their families if they just used more efficient traps against the Hero and theirpanions.
If I stepped on a trap and died here, I wouldnt me the demons. They did what they had to do to protect themselves and their race, and my demise wouldve been the fault of none but my own weakness and inattentiveness. For anyone who hase to destroy others happiness, an honorable death is an impermissible luxury.
After a few seconds of silence, Ssosia finally replied.
Im bing even more afraid of you.
Well, thats only natural. Due to the First hero, Ive grown stronger than you.
I felt bottomless gratitude towards my senior for giving me so many souls of heroes for free.
Im not talking aboutbat power. Your way of thinking has be a little too rational. For an invader, an honorable death is, of course, a luxury. But thats only ever true if you dont treat your enemies with mercy.
Naturally.
I didnt n on forgiving those who wanted to harm me.
Enemies, regardless of strength, would always be opponents.
What about my father?
I dont feel any sympathy for my father-inw. Theres no other way around this, after all. Im a hero, and it is my duty to kill him.
I was still mad at him for giving me his daughter, too.
Youre an insolent bastard. You should be thanking my father and bowing to his feet for allowing you to marry the worlds second most beautiful woman.
You should bow to me too, Drug Hero!
No, aunt. You should be ashamed. You sold your niece to satiate your drug addiction.
Heeheehee!
My group didnt lose muchbat power despite the disappearance of two of our members.
Without any further incidents, we arrived at the ce where the Demon Lord was waiting for us.
I had always loved this moment.
Bam!
Kicking the door with all my might, the Righteous Hero entered!
The Demon Lord greeted me with joy.
Youve finally reached my domain, chosen hero! I am Pedonar, the incarnation of evil itself! I dont even know how to thank you for seducing my daughter. I thought she would be alone forever. Oh! How about we have a business meeting after a short meal?
The room that once had only been his throne now contained a long table with chairs around it.
And on the table, as befitted a banquet, were many delicious-looking dishes.
There wasnt a single nasty delicacy among it. I couldnt even see any fried Lucifers.
Well One cant just keep work nonstop, I guess. Ill take you up on that offer, dear father-inw.
Thats true! You and I understand each other well, son-inw. Haha!
I was pleased with the food the Demon Lord prepared for me. They all tasted better than the dishes I had eaten throughout the continents of Fantasy.
Even when I was the sweet emperor of the Northern Continent and the ruler of the Holy Mon Empire, I had never had such rich vors.
But that was because the food before us wasnt native to the Fantasy World.
There was a lot of food here that couldnt be found anywhere on the continents, such as c and pizzas. After wiping his mouth with a napkin, the Demon Lord spoke to us.
Did you like the food?
Very much so.
Thats good to know. I brought a lot of different food back with me throughout my travel across the entire universe. This ce is called my castle, but in fact, I use it as a country vi. I love thendscape of the El Mondo Mountains, which can be viewed from the terrace while eating cheese and drinking wine. Thats why Im often here.
It was also in this ce that the Demon Lord Pedonar lost to the First Hero, resulting in his imprisonment, which continued to this day.
For a long time, he had been ying the role of a clown, all for the sake of training heroes.
Thank you so much for your warm wee, father-inw. That meal removed all of the umted stress that your cowardly daughter has brought me. However, I would now like to set this aside and get down to business.
I was the Hero, and my father-inw was the Demon Lord.
Our objectives were clear.
I understand what youre trying to say.
Even if you are my father-inw, I cannot calmly close my eyes to everything youve done. Sorry, but I must kill you.
If you were a hero, then that really would be our fate. However, you havent officially be a hero yet, have you?
I am a hero.
Theyve told you that you are, but the documents state otherwise. Am I wrong?
BOOM!
Striking the table with both hands, Ssosia got up. She looked at her father in surprise.
How do you know that?!
Did you really think I made him my son-inw without any preparations, my beloved daughter? Since we first met, I had already decided that he would be the Demon Lords vessel. I doubted my decision at first, but as soon as you first fell in love with him, I started thanking my fate.
Fate? No! Run! Ssosia shouted, but it was already toote.
I intuitively took a step back. However, Demon Lord Pedonars words were faster.
Be freed from your shackles as the Hero and let the Second Demons curse devour you! You shall be the Second Demon Lord as I, the First Demon, dly ept the fate the universe itself has prepared for me!
The final sh between the Demon Lord and the Hero, which everyone had been waiting for, didnt ur.
Instead, a new Demon Lord was born.
{End of Part 1}
Chapter 258 - [14th Round] MAX-Class Demon Lord
Chapter 258 - [14th Round] MAX-ss Demon Lord
I felt strange.
My body and soul were engulfed by some kind of dark matter that I couldnt get rid of, kind of like Lanuvel.
Smoke? Liquid? Semi-liquid? I wasnt sure what state it was in, but the substance was the second softest after my cowardly wifes breasts.
FSHHSSHHH!
I couldnt enjoy the feeling that long, however. Soon after it devoured me, my body absorbed it like dry soil chugging down rain.
There was so much of it that it wouldnt have been able to fitpletely in a normal person and would instead spill out like water overflowing from a ss, but my body had no limit. It continued to swallow everything, not wanting to leave even a trace behind.
The process kept going endlessly.
I knew very well what it was.
Dark Energy.
Strengthening physical fitness, preventing aging, prolonging life, preserving appearance, preventing dementia, fast regeneration, free wings, free horns, free outfit, free weapons
It was the epitome of power in the Fantasy World.
If I set aside its shorings, such as irascibility and being forced to worship those who had greater Dark Energy, it could be called the best source of strength.
My stats also changed.
? Race: United Spirit of Fantasy
? Level: 999+
? Job: Great Sword Master (Hero = Demon Lord)
? Skills: Dark Energy GGG, Gifted ZZZ, Fabrication ZZ
? Condition: Holy Sword, Dragon Scale
Unable to withstand the huge amount of Dark Energy that entered my body, the Z-rank skill Divinity and other skills rted to it disappeared, but my Fabrication skill filled the void they left behind.
It was even upgraded from Z-rank to ZZ-rank without requiring any sacrifice!
However, my attention was drawn to somewhere else: my race.
? Type: Race
? Name: United Spirit of Fantasy
? Rank: Beginner
? Beginner 1: Subdues heroes.
? Beginner 2: Second Demon Lord.
? Feature 1: Sponsored by Universe Co., Ltd.
? Race 1: Legendary Being.
? Race 2: World Spirit.
My two races effects were merged into one, and the Second Demon Lord that my father-inw spoke of was added.
Additionally, the universes fading love turned into a sponsorship, making it clear where this endless Dark Energy came from.
But not everything was so rosy.
World Spirit
United Spirit of Fantasy. USF for short.
Half of the Fantasy World, which used to belong to my father-inw, had been passed onto me.
And the consequences were obvious.
FSSSHHSHH!
Serving the Fantasy World wasnt cheap, so the Dark Energy from which it was formed began to leave my body, spreading in all directions.
Dark Energy GGG Dark Energy G
Fortunately, my situation wasnt as critical as my father-inws, preventing me from being pummeled by a hero that might coincidentally pass by.
The situation was still bleak, though.
Hmm
Having epted his cowardly daughter and his business, I took a seat on the Demon Lords throne, which he had now vacated. Tapping my fingers on its armrests, I fell into deep thought.
What was so good about this damn job?
My father-inw didnt even turn over his duties properly. He just ran away, saying, Son-inw! From now on, you are a Demon Lord! I know youll easily get the hang of it!
He was now outside the world of Fantasy.
My brother deceived me.
My father deceived me.
The First Spirit and the Second Demon spoke in unison.
I already know that. You better find out if we can escape from here, Ssosia.
Hmm. As I expected, its impossible. Ssosia grinned and sat down on myp.
What are you doing?
I just feel bad that you cant go back home because of my curse.
What does that have to do with what youre doing? Im not your chair.
I know that. Im just trying to express my apology! From now on, Ill live only for you. Im also prepared to make your long life brighter. Ssosia leaned her back against my chest.
She was ready to be my heating pad and warm up my cold nights, but unfortunately, I wasnt horny.
On the contrary, it seemed to me that I had now be her toy.
Hmm Im getting bored already.
Arent you being too harsh?!
Thanks to her words, however, my head felt a little more at ease despite being loaded with different heavy thoughts.
I remembered the ending of my 1st round.
After I dealt with thepanions who bullied me for about ten years, I killed the Demon Lord and was filled with dreams that I could return home until my grades appeared.
Just like that, the 2nd round began!
The situation right now was the same.
Im just moving from the 13th round to the 14th. Nothing special.
My cowardly hubby, have you reached nirvana yet?
You didnt evenst ten seconds?
My wife, pretending to regret that I couldnt return to Earth, returned to her former shameless behavior. She probably coborated with her father, the very being who shut me in this ce.
We actually didnt team up, and Im not shameless. Ill give you a little advice. If you keep wallowing in your regrets and guilt, your life will only be more troublesome.
That only confirms your impudence.
No, that is the wisdom of life.
Is that so? Hey, since youre so smart, then youve probably already anticipated that youll be subjected to punishment because of this situation, havent you?
Huh? What?!
The MAX-ss Righteous Demon Lord severely punished the shameless demon!
How much time had passed?
Naked, Ssosiay without a drop of strength next to her undeserving husband
? Announcement: The faculty meeting has ended.
A parasitic system appeared, sucking Dark Energy out of me.
? Shock: I just realized the terrible fact that I have to live off the power of someone who mocks the Creator-Goddess Fantasy. If it were possible tomit suicide, I wouldnt hesitate to do it.
Stop talking. What did they say in the meeting?
? Exnation: We were ordered not to approach you without any valid reason because youve lost control of yourself due to your rage. It wasnt just announced. Theyvee up with and released school rules corresponding to this situation. Hence, except for specially appointed personnel, no one is allowed to approach you. Even a message cannot be sent to you.
Everyones forbidden to approach me? Then not much has changed, has it?
The teaching staff stayed away from me anyway. The cute and beautiful Trainee Teacher confirmed that.
? Denial: Thats not exactly correct. The new rules have caused a rift between the conservatives of the era of the First Hero and the reformists of the new era, of which you are the protagonist.
Im not interested in the petty squabbles between the facultys factions. Just tell me what harm it can do to me.
? Summary: All of this happened due to ack of documents caused by the negligence of the teaching staff. ording to the rules, you should bepensated for the physical and mental damage you sustained for bing a Demon Lord. However, due to the newly introduced rules restricting interaction with you, this is unlikely to happen.
So thats how it is.
I forgot because of my frequent regressions.
Until now, I couldnt graduate since I couldnt get the grades required for it, allowing them to put the me on me. However, this time, the faculty members were the ones at fault.
They definitely shouldpensate me for this! Still, are you saying they wont do it?
I will stop at nothing until I get what I deserve.
What? You still havent had enough, savage beast?!
I wasnt talking to you.
I focused my thoughts, ignoring Ssosias nonsense.
I was no longer a hero but a Demon Lord.
For as long as I had this immense amount of Dark Energy, all the demons living in the Fantasy World and their followers would obey me.
I could even see where they were and what they were doing.
I couldnt watch everyone simultaneously, but if I wanted to, no matter where they were, I could give them an order.
They had the same hierarchy as the spirits!
My father-inw passed all of this to me.
Well deal with the rewardter.
I was the protagonist of the new era, and I hereby dered that it wasnt finished yet.
I, the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, didnt lose to the Demon Lord, but it couldnt be said that I had won either.
Let there be a draw!
But it all ended with the fact that the teaching staff didnt give me my reward.
My legions! Heed my call!
Spirits and demons alike followed my order.
The Followers of the Demon Lord scattered throughout the continents of Fantasy began to move towards the southern part of the Central Continent, assembling at the Demon Lords castle.
What are you going to do, Drug Hero?
y with dirt.
I wouldnt leave them a piece ofnd.
This world was made up of my Dark Energy.
Hence, this was rightfully my property.
M-my dear hubby, it wont be that easy to do, Ssosia objected as soon as she regained a bit of her strength.
Why?
The textbooks have already been rewritten. The Heros journey was recorded in a new way, but the ending didnt change. After losing to the Hero, the Demon Lord was sealed for many years.
Ha! Sealed? Dont underestimate your husband.
Now no one could do anything to me.
I even won the fight against my senior. Having received the family business from my father-inw, I had be stronger.
Seals? Spatial transference? Regression? Rebirth?
No one could change my fate that easily now.
That was how strong I had be.
Im not underestimating you. My dads essence was divided into many particles, which were then scattered across different dimensions to create the heroes sses. However, the same cant be made possible with you because you are a whole entity. My aunt, knowing that, decided to apply a few fixes.
Fixes?
Would the First Angel herself fight me?
No. She doesnt fight personally. Like you, she supports the existence of this world, so now she is powerless. Do you think that everyone around you relies only onbat power as much as you do? Remember, fighting is not a priority but ast resort. If you want to understand what Im talking about, look out the window.
Out the window? Fuck!
A curse burst from my mouth as soon as I did.
Fantasy had been destroyed.
As you can already see, the textbooks have been falsified.
That scene alone was enough for me to understand everything. I had seen this before during my 8th round, in which I killed the Hero Sieg.
As a result, everything also led to destruction.
Damn it! Its because theres a Demon Lord, but theres no Hero, isnt it
The Fantasy World would be saved if there was at least one Hero and one Demon Lord in it.
If there were no one in it, then the world would disappear.
Brace yourself, my cowardly husband.
Damn
I wasnt sealed, but my situation would be no different from that if the world I were in disappeared.
That was exactly what was happening now.
The Fantasy World copsed and recovered in the blink of an eye, changing everything.
***
Wee, Demon Lord!
Have youe to your senses?
No.
I felt like I was out of my mind.
And dont act the same way as Lanuvel, or else Ill rip out your vertebrae!
How is it? Please pull yourself together! I know youre confused since your environment has changed so much, but dont worry. Ill exin everything gradually, step by step. You are in the Demon Lords castle, the ce where Hero Kang Han Soo was sealed for 2,000 years after being cursed by the Demon Lord Pedonar.
Wait! 2,000 years?
Did two millenniums really pass?
We havent changed, but that much time has passed. You can think of this as your reality after traveling 2,000 years into the future.
Aha! I understand now!
The world had changed because I was gone for a long time.
As a precaution, Ill check your memory since my aunt might have gotten confused and made a mistake. Lets start with me. I am Ssosia, creator of the Fantasy world, the Second Demon, and the adored wife of the Second Demon Lord Kang Han Soo.
You havepletely lost your mind.
Who adored whom? She should keep her fantasies to herself.
Judging by how rude you are, you seem to be in good condition.
Okay, report on the current situation.
If you ask about your strength, then its pretty bad.
Why?
It just couldnt be.
Before arriving at the Demon Lords castle, I hadnt killed a single demon, so I was able to fully inherit my father-inws powers.
However, she just said that everything was deplorable.
I hastily looked out the window and soon realized that Ssosias words were true.
Outside the walls surrounding the Demon Lords castle was not a demon settlement but a human fortress.
That meant that the dominion of the demons, which extended over the whole southern part of the Central Continent, was reduced to one city.
How did this happen?
Because of the Hero, who was able to improve the worlds situation with the support of his wonderful wife. He left behind flush toilets that made humanity stronger. Thanks to sanitary hygiene, the human poption increased dramatically, which ultimately gave them the power to drive away demons and monsters.
All of that was caused by flush toilets?
Flush toilets threatened the personal safety of the resurrected Demon Lord.
Chapter 259 - [14th Round] Traveling for my dreams! I don’t know!
Chapter 259 - [14th Round] Traveling for my dreams! I dont know!
FSHUH!
Pushing myself off the terrace railing, I spread my wings of the righteous hero and soared into the air. At that moment, I realized something.
My wings are muchrger than before.
It wasnt just a feeling.
I had to limit their size to avoid osteoporosis before, but nothing held me back now since they didnt need iron from my body anymore. Instead, they were made of Dark Energy.
If I wanted, I could cover the entirety of the sun with my wings.
Those terrifying wings
Ah! The Demon Lord has awakened!
Oh my God! The Corrupted Hero has risen!
Warriors of Light! Prepare forbat!
The people from the fortress immediately began to make a fuss the moment they noticed me.
Curious, I checked their stats.
? Race: Human
? Level: 794
? Job: Knight (Devotion Fortitude )
? Skills: Fortitude Z, Sword Mastery A, Ability A, Resistance B, Endurance B
? Stats: Intense
A knightly jock.
? Race: Human
? Level: 813
? Job: Mage (Age Magic Power )
? Skills: Magic Z, Magic Power Z, Sorcery A, Concentration A, Strengthening B
? Status: Intense, Strengthening
An old mage.
? Race: Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Healer (Age Healing )
? Skills: Healing ZZ, Charm Z, Temptation A, Communication B, Blessing B
? Status: Tense, Blessing
A nice little healer.
Overall, they had well-bnced levels and skill ranks, but they were still too weak to break into the final bosss hideout.
Theyre not weak, Drug Hero. Youre just too strong.
What difference does it make, Addicted Spirit?
It didnt matter if they were weaker or I was stronger. They remained my enemies. If they wanted to kill me, they best be prepared to get killed in return.
Flight F Flight D
Physical strength F Physical strength E
Patience F Patience E
My skills ranks began to rise as I moved onwards. After all, except for my transcendent skills, which remained after my rise to Demon Lordship, all of my other skills had to begin from scratch.
What was even more interesting than that was my clones, which were created in multiple dimensions with stolen Dark Energy. They only gained one skill, Z-rank Dark Energy.
? Race: United Spirit of Fantasy
? Level: 999+
? Job: Demon Lord (Hero Level )
? Skills: Dark Energy Z
? Status: Demon Sword
Their level was listed as 999+, but their actual levels were no match for my level, capable of piercing the gxy.
The possible situation that worried me most became a reality.
At the behest of the dastardly teaching staff, the strength of my copies was lowered enough to make it easier to nurture new heroes.
There was only one thing that could help in this situation.
Lets show them the cowardly power of friendship.
My mind and the mind of my clones were closely rted. Hence, we were able to share the characteristics of the USF race.
The experience and knowledge of the heroes that I had absorbed were transferred to them, and the corners of their lips lifted.
CLICK!
I snapped my finger lightly.
My clones, Kang Han Soos Demon Lords, which appeared in multiple dimensions or ssrooms as the faculty members called them, snapped their fingers as well.
CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK
In response to this sound, the earth around the Demon Lords castle shook and shattered, but the earth spirits werent the ones that caused them. My secret weapon, dark matter, was the one that triggered the earthquake.
It was a skill that wasnt listed in my stats.
Therefore, even copies could use it.
Huh?!
Help!
Mommy!
The fortress crumbled as its people fell into the cracks left by the tremors.
Of course, not everyone fell against that offensive.
Some managed to survive due to their ability to use flight or agility.
Thats not good.
I decided to punish the survivors severely.
FSHUK! FSHUK! FSHUK!
The spear-sharp bones fired by my wings stormed down upon them like armageddon.
That, too, was a skill of mine that wasnt listed in the stats.
It was my own strength, based on the teachings of Master Mon.
Ill save you Huh?!
I survive No!
Simr to Master Mons power, which terrified even the First Hero himself, my strength was immense and petrifying.
The fortresses forming the defense line around the Demon Lords castle were destroyed instantaneously with my opponents who lived there.
My retaliation wasnt over yet, however.
GRRR-
I engulfed the corpses scattered around the area with my G-rank Dark Energy, resurrecting them as undead.
They had abandoned their humanity.
I bow to the Demon Lord!
Glory to the Demon Lord!
Long live the Demon Lord!
Right after their reincarnation, they swiftly knelt before me without hesitation, swearing allegiance to their creator.
My replicas couldnt recreate such a feat since their Dark Energy was only ranked Z. However, the result of our offensive was still favorable, considering they were able to significantly increase their level and skill masteries.
I had more up my sleeves, of course.
CLOP! CLOP! CLOP! CLOP! CLOP!
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
The Five Spirit Kings, who had been separated from me for 2,000 years, sensed my energy and quickly gathered to my side.
They immediately settled in my armpits and groin so that third parties wouldnt be able to im their territories.
Wind settled under my right armpit, and water settled under my left. My siege weapon became as hard as earth and hot as fire as well.
I didnt stop there.
No matter how strong the impregnable fortresses gates were, the Soul Spirit King strengthened my siege weapon so that it could prate no matter the obstacles.
Dirty beast.
Was it just me, or did I hear the voice of a cowardly demoness who opened her gates wide open for me toe in, letting me plunder her as I pleased until she fell asleep?
My niece still cant reveal her true feelings because shes shy, so I request your understanding.
Aunt!
My niece is so sweet! heeheehee!
Since Ssosia left the system, bing my personal property, she didnt have clones next to my copies.
However, it was different with the First Spirit.
She was still attached to the system.
My replicas werent capable of charming spirits as I was, but it didnt matter since the First Spirits who followed them were at the top of the irrational social hierarchy of their kind.
I need to reim all of my lost territories first.
Of course, I wouldnt be personally aplishing that.
With my replicas following my every action, I issued an order to the Spirit Kings, who then ryed it to those ranked below them.
However, even the supreme or highest spirits, second only to the kings and the First Spirit, didnt budge. They looked at their inferiors and told them of the situation.
The advanced spirits then called the middle spirits with a gesture, and the middle spirits called the lowest spirits
Spirit Kings, supreme or highest, advanced, middle and lowest!
The lowest spirits, who had no one else to pass the responsibility to, began to work hard.
BRRRR!
The ruins were once the demons viges and cities had been covered with mountains andkes, and a dense forest had formed around them.
In addition, marshes and holes were dug all over the ce to prevent people from crossing and passing with ease. Seeds of poisonous mushrooms were transported and carefully nted in this ce from other regions.
After that, all I had to do was watch since monsters naturally spawned in areas with strong influence of nature, like dense jungles that people couldnt easily reach or explore. The stronger the influence of nature was, the higher the monsters skills and levels were upon their creation.
I could artificially manipte that variable.
Of course, I didnt tend to it myself either.
Stop exploiting my children, Drug Hero!
Look whos talking.
I never force them. I simply ask them.
Yeah, you do, knowing they cant refuse.
Ooooohhh!
Traughgh!
Gob! Gob!
All kinds of monsters appeared around the Demon Lords castle.
I could easily recapture cities by controlling and directing them to human cities, but I didnt.
After all, Im the one who created flush toilets.
I wasnt going to destroy the Fantasy World with my own hands now that they were filled with flush toilets, which were like my own children.
Cowardly husband, arent you too obsessed with them?
Obsessed?
Yes.
I replied to her stupid question with a question of my own.
Do you want to listen to a 100-year-long lecture, Ssosia? I wonder if you can still say something so idiotic after that.
In a world without flush toilets, people would need to squat down, aiming well at the hole, and discharge their bodily waste! While doing so, theyd need to be careful not to ssh their urine onto their skirts or trousers. Theyd also need to clean the hole regrly, or theyd not only smell ammonia but also lure in harmful insects.
Most people also had no other option but to clean it themselves, refusing to show others what they ate the day prior.
For reference: the closer ones excrement was to golden color, the healthier their intestines
Enough! Stop telling me about it! Ive learned enough. Im sorry for not appreciating them properly!
Ssosia, now looking a little distressed, immediately raised the white g.
Never underestimate flush toilets again.
Okay
I wasnt that satisfied with her answer, but I decided to ignore it as his gracious MAX-ss husband.
That aside
I gradually began to understand the feelings of my father-inw, who always sat on the throne, never moving from it.
I found out now that he wasnt joking when he said that even moving a little caused him to suffer from mental fatigue.
The reason behind it was the clones.
Although the dolls that imitated me seemed to think and act autonomously, they werentpletely independent.
They acted ording to my instructions and with my permission, one at a time.
If I were an ordinary person, I wouldve already been reduced to a vegetated state due to my brain cells dying from overwork.
If there were only one or two of them, it wouldnt be so bad.
But my brain semi-automatically controlled hundreds of thousands of my copies.
In particr, whenever a fierce battle erupted, just like what was transpiring right now, information overload would kick in.
Haha! Do you understand me now? Ive been sitting on your head all this time, not because ofziness, Drug Hero!
How can I cope with this, Addicted Spirit?
Although I didnt feel like asking the First Spirit for advice, headaches and fatigue were my primary concerns.
You probably already know the answer to that. Move as little as possible. When giving orders to copies, beconic. Its always better to avoid simultaneous battles like this.
Tsk. This is so problematic.
I sat down again on the Demon Lords throne, which my father-inw passed on to me. My copies, which were active in other dimensions, also returned to their ces.
The effect of the respite advised by the First Spirit was immediately apparent.
My mental exhaustion began to subside.
Like the Demon Lord before me, I now sat motionlessly on this throne.
At least there was a cowardly demoness next to me, unlike my clones, who remained in solitude.
The same was true of the First Spirit.
The original First Spirit, or Spirit A, was talkative. Meanwhile, First Spirit B with my copy remained silent because she focused her emotions on First Spirit A.
The rest were dummy dolls.
Hmm
The situation had be moreplicated.
I nned to take over the entire Fantasy World through warfare, leaving no room for future heroes to be summoned.
If their education system were disrupted, this institution would be forced to shut down!
But it had be impossible.
The reason was that the number of newly created copies for training exceeded the speed at which I could take over the world.
I pondered about the possible solutions to solve this problem.
I didnt want to wait for years, like my father-inw
I have an idea, cowardly husband.
Hmm? What is it?
As I looked at her impatiently, Ssosia moved hervender lips with satisfaction to my ear and whispered.
Growing and absorbing heroes.
Ah!
My journey to achieving my dreams had begun anew!
Chapter 260 - [14th Round] 2000 Years of Love
Chapter 260 - [14th Round] 2000 Years of Love
Its time to get started!
A feature of the USF race was the subjugation of heroes.
To escape from the Fantasy World, I just needed to absorb all the younger heroes who would dare confront the former MAX-ss Hero.
Hey hubby, do you really think itll be that simple?
I didnt say it would be easy.
I didnt know how long it would take.
I had already managed to absorb most of the heroes from the First Heros house, but even that wasnt enough to make even the smallest hole in the system.
I couldnt even begin to imagine how many heroes it would take to defeat it.
I didnt have to think about it to know my situation wasnt ideal.
However, I would never let these obstacles stop me. I wouldnt be able to sleep well until I hit my father-inw for leaving his business and his cowardly daughter with me.
Sharp outbursts of anger, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation, xerophthalmia
Because of him, I gained so many illnesses!
You im to be sick, yet you still have the strength to torment your wife!
That requires a different strength.
I had heard that ones sex drive increased when in a difficult position.
Dont misunderstand my words about absorbing heroes. Theres no point in causing senseless harm. The Fantasy Worlds system is now run by the First Angel, which means if you want to take away her power, youll need to win the heroes over to your side.
I had to win those idiots to my side?
borate.
You and my aunt have an almost equal position. The Angeles first, then the Demon Lord. Together, you two are supplying this world with Divinity and Dark Energy. Unlike my father, who was considered a criminal, youve be thergest investor of this school.
Hoho!
Largest investor! Interesting title.
Before your rise, my aunt was the only investor and majority shareholder, but now I have part of her power over the system. You, as my husband, also became a shareholder when you invested in the institution.
Interesting
Before I was kidnapped by the vile members of the teaching staff, I was just a student. An innocent soul who didnt know anything about society yet!
Therefore, I wasnt as well versed in all these promotions and distribution of rights.
Heeheehee! Drug Hero, are you a techie?
Shut up, Addicted Spirit. Go on, my cowardly wife.
Ahem. In such a situation, thepanys shareholders can decide who will be the CEO. However, this is a school. Both its students and teachers are considered shareholders. The faculty members are followers of my aunt, making it difficult to convince them, which is why well target the students instead.
In other words, we need to win over the heroes?
Then it wasnt as hard as I thought it would be! Students knew better than the teachers what the soul of their schoolmates craved, after all.
And in the past, I was a hero. I understood them more than most ever would.
Dont expect everything to go that smoothly. As you already know, Divinity apanies the heroes throughout their journey in different forms such as the Holy Sword, Divine, Blessing, Relic, Divine Dragon. It doesnt matter if theyre sleeping or fighting. My aunt sponsors their days. On the other hand, they have a clear awareness in their heads that the Demon Lord is viinous.
I see your point.
We still had a long way to go.
But these difficulties were nothingpared to my 1st round.
The local savages forced me, a pathetic schoolboy who couldnt even catch a cockroach, to kill the malevolent Demon Lord.
No matter how I thought about it, it was an unreasonable demand.
But I was able to handle everything within a decade!
Of course, it wasnt a pleasant trip!
There were times when I had to run away because I was losing to some viger or when I had to drop my weapon and hide in the woods out of fear of goblins. I was beaten by a fragile female mercenary, after which I spent the whole day in bed, covered with a nket.
But I didnt give up. I saw it through to the very end.
Whats with that look?
My heads just spinning from the mere thought that the teaching staff and this entire education system have turned an innocent boy into the sessor of the Demon Lord and my insidious husband
None of that was my fault.
I know. Its the corrupted education systems.
I didnt like it, but Ssosia and I looked at each other and smiled.
Our thoughts coincided.
***
Obviously, there was no dimension of Fantasy that didnt have a Demon Lord.
Thanks to the eyes and ears of my clones, I was able to find out the location, ns, and condition of all the heroes that hadnt graduated yet.
My friend Sieg was one such example.
This simply cannot be! Sylvia is my woman! She should only look at me! Why is she flirting with male humans when she hated them as the leader of the elves?! How could this happen?!
Unfortunately, he was unable to adapt to the 5th curriculum.
Sir Hero, is there a problem?
There is! Listen to this, Lanuvel. Elf Princess Sylvia isnt in the ve market and doesnt even have a spirit! I dont like the way she yed with them!
Ooh I would like you toe to your senses. Your strange behavior is dying the trip.
No! Im okay!
Since I became the First Hero to kill the Demon Lord instead of my senior, changes took ce in the Fantasy World.
Some aspects of it remained the same, though.
The Dumpling Kingdom was still located on the Central Continent, and Lanuvel, pretending to be cute, still summoned heroes.
But that was the end of it.
Each of the 12 floors of the pce had flush toilets that werent unisex but divided for males and females.
There was fresh air in the royal garden, which once smelled of ammonia, and the maids, who had finished cleaning early, sat on the benches and chatted nonchntly.
I decided to eavesdrop a little.
Sir Hero Sieg.
Just call me Sieg
Okay, Sieg!
Arent you adjusting a little too fast?! The Lanuvel I know isnt like this!
This isnt the time to be fantasizing about ransoming Princess Sylvia from the ck market! The Demon Lord has risen! She replied hastily.
Dont worry. If I wanted to, I could kill him in six years. Sylvia is much more important right now. She hates humans, yet she now wanders theirnd. To add salt to my wound, she also decided to flirt with the prince! None of this makes sense!
There is nothing strange about that. Princess Sylvia ran away from home to marry a human, after all.
What?!
That was surprising for me too.
The ruler of the elves can only marry those of their own race to preserve their bloodline. Because of thatw, there is now a psychological struggle between Prince Nasus and Princess Sylvia as they both attempt to avoid seeding to the throne. However, when it became clear that Sylvia would still inherit the throne, she immediately ran away from home.
She allegedly now traveled through human kingdoms and seduced young princes.
The pitiful Third Elf King Elfheim had seeminglypletely changed the culture of his people while he ruled the kingdom.
Now they were friends with humans!
Perhaps they might even be on greater terms than that
This simply cannot be
My friend Sieg looked as if the end of the world hade.
I dont want to upset you, but if you want to marry Princess Sylvia, you must at least be a prince first. Right now, youre just a boy who cant even control his sex drive at the sight of elves.
Arent you too rude?!
Lanuvel finally said something good.
Heroes like him could never defeat me, the Demon Lord, due to the limitations that bound those stuck in the regression loop.
? Race: Arch-Human
? Level: 19
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Male Strength Z, Interpretation A, Sword Mastery E, Endurance F, Magic Power F
? Status: Depression
Upon his regression, Sieg was left with only one transcendental skill, Male Strength Z, but the rest of his skills disappeared, which were then reced by new ones.
Male Strength Z was only useful in bed, and it also required that he had a woman he liked with him.
It was still better than having no skills at all, though.
Isnt it better not to have them at all? He doesnt even have a woman he can use it with, and the more transcendental skills a hero has, the harder it bes for them to upgrade other skills to Z-rank. Wouldnt it have been better for him if all of his skills changed and he started over from scratch?
Ssosias assessment of Sieg as she watched him with me was realistic and merciless.
As expected of a typical marrieddy with a cruel character.
Cowardly hubby, dont upgrade that stupid skill no matter what. Its already hard for me to deal with you as it is.
I wouldnt have done it even if you begged me.
That aside, I noticed Sword King Alex took the initial training of the Heroes into his own hands, was nowhere to be seen.
Where did he go?
As if on cue, Lanuvel, amid scolding Sieg, suddenly opened up a new topic.
Follow me. I want to introduce you to apanion.
Is it Alex?
Oh? How did you know?
Because its always him.
I didnt know how much he had progressed, but he had an expression simr to a hardened B-rank Hero.
Completely arrogant!
I see Then guess the other person. She pouted.
Theres someone else? Thats new
Shes an incredible beauty!
Gorgeous? Oh! Sylvia!
No! Stop thinking about Princess Sylvia already. Someone like you shouldnt even dream of her. Youre correct in guessing that shes not of the human race, though.
They walked outside the royal pce as they talked to each other.
Lanuvel swung her hips in different directions as usual, and Sieg walked behind her, smiling broadly.
Where were they going?
Not long after, they arrived at the house of some wealthy people, a luxurious mansion with a spacious garden and a pond.
I couldnt believe that Alex lived in a ce like this. A cave was much more suitable for a savage like him.
Sir Alex! Its me, Lanuvel! Open the door, please!
HM? What brings you over, Miss Lanuvel? Please wait a bit. Let me just dry my hands The Sword King immediately replied from within his abode.
After the click of a lock was heard, the door opened and appeared
Oh! Oh my God!
I think Im going to go blind
Why? Is this the first time youve seen a man in an apron? All you do is fight, so I doubt youd be able to appreciate such a scenes true worth. Househusbands are quite popr now, you know.
Who did she take me for?
My father often used to cook in an apron instead of my mother, who had trouble cooking Damn!
Did you just say your mom cant cook?
I never said that
Hmm My cowardly wife looked at me intently.
Ignoring her, I returned my attention to Alex.
The way his white apron hugged his bulging muscles made him look pathetic.
I didnt know how women could like such a worthless look.
I then looked at his stats.
? Race: Celestial Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Sword God (Sword Mastery = Divinity )
? Skills: Sword Mastery G, Eternal Youth ZZ, Love Z, Cooking MAX, Cleaning MAX
? Status: Blessing, Happiness
His Sword Mastery had reached the rank of the divines. It certainly came across as a shock, but that wasnt what caught my attention the most.
Eternal Youth ZZ.
Thanks to this skill, he could now live a long time without ever growing older.
And the rest of his skills, except for Sword Mastery, were all household-rted. Almost all of them were MAX-ranked, too.
It seems hes lived agelessly for two millenniums, Ssosia concluded, ncing at Alex.
Is that possible?
For as long as a skills rank is high enough, then nothing is impossible. In the past, the Herospanions my dad killed were resurrected without memory to help new heroes.
However, the reality of this era that treated me as the main character was different.
Although there were somepanions who drowned in the sea due to an ident, there was no mass extermination, as in the original story.
Therefore, it wasnt that strange for some of them to learn how to oppose natural death and live for over two millenniums.
But that was just a theory.
Two thousand years was a long time.
There was a high probability that a time woulde when everything they did would feel boring, at which point theyd most likely want to retire. How could they ovee that problem?
The answer was obvious.
Sieg, as you know, this is Alex. And the beauty hiding behind him is anotherpanion. Her name is Chicken. I couldnt find that words meaning even among the ancientnguages, but apparently, that was what her past owner called her.
Chicken
Knowing its true definition, Sieg began to look even more confused.
I reacted simrly.
What kind of person would give her such a stupid name?
Alex doesnt like her real name, so he calls her Snow Woman. For your own safety, Sieg, you better call her that too. Lady Snow Woman? You cane out behind him. Although Sieg looks despicable, he is the Hero chosen by God.
The same Snow Woman I knew peeked out from behind the Sword Kings back. And instead of hands, she waved her wings.
Hello! As Lanuvel said, I am the Snow Woman! My full name is White Chicken. I like the name my previous owner gave me, but Alex doesnt like it, so please call me Snow Woman. Since I have no hands, he takes care of me.
The Snow Woman smiled sweetly, pping her snow-white wings. Sieg, witnessing her beautiful face, looked fascinated.
But it didntst long.
Kh?!
Alex grabbed him by the throat and shouted.
Dont stare at my wife, whom I have taken care of for the past two millenniums, Hero, unless you want me to rip out your shameless eyes.
The Sword King was a married man in the 5th curriculum.
Chapter 261 - [14th Round] Reject!
Chapter 261 - [14th Round] Reject!
Sir Alex! Please let Sieg go! Im not delighted by this womanizers behavior myself, but to save this world, you definitely need his power!
Tsk. I wont forgive him next time.
Alex released him and tidied up his apron. He then stepped aside a little, inviting them toe in.
The Snow Woman also urged them kindly.
Come in! You should have a taste of Alexs amazing cooking!
Ahem! The Sword King coughed as he looked away. It was as if he didnt just nearly kill Sieg.
Did the Snow Womans words really just embarrass that savage?
They look cute together, almost like theyre newlyweds, Ssosiamented with a joyful expression, like a mother watching thest episode of a romantic melodrama.
How can none of this embarrass you? Just looking at them makes me feel disgusted.
I couldnt get used to it. He was far too different from the Alex I knew.
There were even nights when I dreamed of cutting through his back between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae with the Holy Sword once I had be stronger.
Enough! Im sick and tired of hearing you talk about your first 1st round. I think youre even worse than him at this point.
How so?
From the very beginning, I always acted rationally. The only difference between then and now was my strength.
Ssosia didnt rebuke it. Instead, she looked at the Snow Woman.
I thought she was just a weird girl, but she turned out to be an incredible woman. She changed that man without even lifting a finger. I need to follow her example.
Dont even try.
The day I became a rag sobbing into my pillow would nevere.
I dont want such changes either, but they made me curious what you were like in your first round. There should be records in your personal file
Dont even think about it. Im warning you.
Dont make such a face. Ill look at it secretly and beyond your knowledge anyway.
Hey!
While we had a marital quarrel, Alex, still in his apron, continued neatly slicing fruits and vegetables into simr shapes on the cutting board.
I hoped he didnt raise his Sword Mastery to G-rank for that
Alex pounded meat with his firm fist to soften it while kneading the dough with his other hand. His actions, techniques, and skills were all professional, and he was so rxed while cooking that he even started humming a melody!
The sight made me think he should be called the King of Cooking instead.
After preparing all the dishes, Alex sat down next to his armless wife and began to feed her.
She still had as huge of an appetite as before.
After eating, he wiped the corners of her lips with a napkin and removed the leftover food from the tes.
He looked more like a nurse than a husband.
Judging by the Happiness trait in his Status, it was safe to say he actually found such an annoying job delightful and worthwhile.
It was almost as if we were frompletely different worlds.
Are you jealous, my useless husband?
No.
Youre jealous, arent you? Be honest. I can feed you if you want.
Leave me alone!
Dont be shy
I witnessed everything, Drug Hero! My niece looked so envious as she watched the Snow Woman
Stop talking, auntie! Please!
Heeheeheehee!
After Alex finished eating, Lanuvel told them about the purpose of their visit in Siegs stead, who remained anxious.
Sir Alex, Lady Snow Woman, the Demon Lord has risen. This world is doomed with Sieg alone, considering theres more lust than justice in him! I ask you to join our journey!
I couldnt help but worry.
Sieg still couldnt get past the primary education course, where even the skills of the Dumpling Kingdoms Knight A were weak. They could never pose a threat to me.
But G-rank Sword Mastery?
If he merged the effect of his job with it, then he could currently wield the G-rank Divinity!
Alex could storm the Demon Lords castle by himself right now.
Objectively speaking, my clones would never be able to defeat the ck bear of the Fantasy World with their skills.
And it wasnt just in Siegs ssroom.
Events developed in the same way in all other dimensions.
The moment Lanuvel thought the Hero they had summoned was unreliable, she would immediately go to Alex and make the same request that she just made.
That was why this conversation was so important.
If Alex joined the Heros journey, it would be no different from having a G-rank monster be a part of their party in all sses. They would also have a beautiful and convenient Snow Woman to transport them wherever they wished!
Those two would make any heros journey a hundred times easier.
I refuse.
But Alexs answer wasnt at all what I expected.
Huh? Why?! Lanuvels eyes widened, unable to believe her ears.
Alex, carefully stroking the Snow Womans small head with his huge hand, replied, I dont want her to be alone.
You can take your wife with you! Think of it as a family trip
I love the Snow Woman too much to take her on a tedious journey that wont even have an easily essible flush toilet, Miss Lanuvel.
Flush toilets again?
Traveling without flush toilets also has its own romance! Imagine going to the fields to pick flowers, only to stumble upon a monster! Doesnt the very thought of it make your blood boil?
Lanuvel tried to convince Alex, but he wasnt that simple of a man.
I dont want to put my wife in such danger or allow any other men to embarrass or humiliate her, He red at Sieg.
Due to the B-ranked Heros misbehavior, the chances of the couple joining his group became even lower.
Think carefully about it, Sir Alex! Even ces without flush toilets are still a part of Fantasy and are worthy of equal love. If you ignore our world just because of that reason, the resurrected Demon Lord
Did I hear that right? Has my owner awakened? The Snow Woman intervened in the conversation just as she was about to doze off.
Alex reluctantly replied. I think so.
Lets meet him, Alex!
They didnt have to!
I know youre excited to meet your owner, but youre not ready yet. You smell.
Really?!
Yes. Thats why youll need to take a bath first.
Okay! Youll bathe with me, wont you?
If thats what you want.
The results of his two millennia of taking care of a harpy were bing apparent.
Due to Alexs ingenuity, the Snow Woman forgot about her desire.
By tomorrow, shed probably return to her normal life, her birdbrain already having forgotten that I was resurrected.
Alex turned to Lanuvel with a serious expression and gave them a warning.
You heard her. Her owner is the Demon Lord. If she takes his side, as she did 2,000 years ago, Ill be left with no choice but to be your enemy. You need to make sure they never meet.
Alex! Lets take a bath already! Faster!
For your own sake, I hope you heard and understood my words.
Defeated, Sieg and Lanuvel returned from Alexs luxurious mansion to the royal pce.
But they didnt return empty-handed.
Sieg, dont be so upset.
Im not upset. On the contrary, Im d the traitorous bastard refused! He used to appreciate male friendship before he got married and became all strange!
As he cursed, Lanuvel waved a piece of paper as she again pretended to be cute.
We got a rmendation from Alex, at least.
This is the first time Ive seen such an oue
For the past millennia, Alex didnt only look after Lady Snow Woman. He also taught swordsmanship to a lot of people, who are now scattered across the continents. The valuable items in his house were bought using the money he earned from that job.
Alexs apprentice Im guessing its a man.
Sieg seemed to have the same thought.
After all, there had never been even just one female knight on the training grounds of the royal pce before because Alex often beat his students too much and shouted profanities at them, as befitting his savage attitude.
No, he rmended a female.
Are you serious? No, I wont get my hopes high. Shes probably a masculine brute.
Siegs face brightened up a little for a moment but soon darkened again.
What are you talking about? As evident from what you just experienced, Alex doesnt like it when other men are around his wife. Thats why all of his students are women.
Oh!
And I have great news for you. The student Alex rmended is incredibly beautiful! I never thought such coincidences can actually happen until now!
Who is it, Lanuvel?
Sheughed.
Princess Sylvia.
The B-rank Hero screamed with joy, kneeling and bowing towards Alexs house.
***
Up to this point, the development of events was simr in all dimensions.
Lanuvels summoned hero would visit Alexs house, have their proposal refused, and gain a rmendation to reach out to Princess Sylvia.
Some tried to molest the Snow Woman, only to be beaten up by her stern husband as he taught them a lesson, forcing them to undergo regression.
Most of them met Sylvia without any problems, however.
This is a request from the legendary Sword King Alex, so theres nothing I can do about it. I do owe him, after all
Since history had changed, Sylvia could no longer control the spirits, causing her to be a swordswoman instead.
She chose a human as her teacher instead of an elf, which I found unusual, but it was understandable. After all, anyone who managed to live for two thousand years as a married man could no longer bebeled as an ordinary human.
However, she didnt have the same talent her teacher had.
? Race: Arch-Elf
? Level: 425
? Job: Swordswoman (Beauty = Sword Mastery )
? Skills: Sword Mastery Z, Elegance A, Charm A, Dexterity B, Evasion B
? Status: Good
Her jobs effect was like the physical damage version of witches effect, but they didnt have the same rarity.
Not all women who could wield a sword could be a swordswoman.
They had to train their Sword Mastery and maintain their beauty through the passage of time, ultimately requiring them to keep up with those who only focused on their swordsmanship and with thedies who cared about nothing else but their appearances.
In other words, her job couldnt be achieved through effort alone.
Sylvia.
Sir Hero Sieg, I only agreed to be yourpanion because of Sir Alexs request, so please dont address me like youre my boyfriend. Youre making me cringe.
This cant be
His longtime lovers behavior shocked him to his core.
Thats why I told him before that there was nothing good about regression.
How long will you be watching that womanizer, cruel hubby? Ssosia asked, hinting that she had lost all interest in Sieg.
She sounded like she wanted us to return to the Demon Lords castle at once and have me personally cook something for her.
My Cooking skill was currently at F-rank.
Youre mistaken. Theres no need to think of me as a wife who misses her husbands love.
But you admitted that yourself, my dear niece
A-ahh! Crap! Stop meddling, auntie!
Hihihi!
Ssosias remark was correct.
Though Alex and his G-rank Sword Mastery and Divinity had been eliminated from the game, the heroes now had Sylvia the Swordswoman in their party, ultimately increasing their overall strength.
As the Demon Lord, I shouldnt be wasting time.
Follow me, Ssosia.
After parting with Siegs group, I returned to Alex and the Snow Womans mansion with my clones.
You really are despicable and cowardly, dear husband! Leave Alex and the Snow Woman alone with their peaceful and serene life! They didnt do anything wrong against you!
What are you talking about?
You want to take the Snow Woman away from Alex, dont you?
Huh? What for?
I didnt even think of touching the one who voluntarily fed and drank the chicken for free in my stead.
What do you mean what for?
Why do you look so surprised? Youre making me nauseous.
Stop exaggerating! Im just really curious about what youre up to!
Just watch.
Alex and the Snow Woman were lovers, but they didnt hang out all day.
Thanks to her husband, the Snow Woman managed to get out of her clothes and was now enjoying a warm bath. Alex watched her for a while before turning to wash the dishes.
But he didnt leave the Snow Woman unguarded.
Ill leave her to you.
Yes, teacher.
Dont worry about Lady Snow Woman.
Well look after her.
The beauties quietly approached like ghosts, bowed to him, and answered.
They were all Alexs students.
Swordswoman Sylvia was just the tip of the iceberg.
Leaving the Snow Woman to the students, Alex returned to the kitchen and began to wash the dishes.
And, as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening, he spoke.
How much longer are you nning on watching me, True Hero?
True Hero! He called me, the Second Demon Lord, the True Hero. I almost shed tears of joy.
Since he gave me such a title, I couldnt stop myself but answer.
I sat down at the table and showed him the smile of the Righteous Hero as a small gift.
You really started glowing brighter after you got married, Alex. Being an economic husband must be truly amazing. Still, wont that chick your lovely wife love you even more if you became the CEO of a well-known corporation?
The MAX-ss Demon Lord could give him such a position.
Chapter 262 - [14th Round] A Hero’s Companion
Chapter 262 - [14th Round] A Heros Companion
I could never forget past grievances.
The better ones stats were, the better their memory. Therefore, I remembered Alex and his savagery from my first round down to the smallest details.
However, if I kept focusing on such experiences, then I would have too many enemies like Lanuvel, who deliberately lured heroes into dungeons traps, the Sword Princess, who tried to kill me and called me a pervert after I saw her naked body due to her own negligence, Saintess A, who appreciatedmoners but saw the Hero as a pitiful insect, Sage, who often ruined ns due to his nosebleeds, Sylvia, who would much rather focus on her selfishness instead of being grateful to her savior, and Aqua, who constantly ran away and dyed the journey whenever she passed by a handsome man
Although I harbored double indignation towards Alex and Lanuvel because they were my earliestpanions, I had always been a rational person. I would never sumb to my emotions.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Your thoughts make me sick, Ssosia grunted rudely.
Alex and I now needed to discuss important matters, so I decided to postpone my cowardly wifes punishment untilter in the evening.
That aside, I only had a grudge against Alex due to the 4th curriculum anyway. At this critical moment, I needed to have a flexible mindset.
I was again trapped in the Fantasy World after my father-inw left his business to me. The difference was that good grades would no longer help me this time.
I found myself in a well-nned trap.
My current circumstances had the potential to lock me thousands and even tens of thousands of years here.
If it would help me return to my home, my beautiful city, and allow me to breathe in the wonderful smell of morning dew again, I was prepared to even sleep with the enemy.
You really have been resurrected Alex quickly washed the dishes and turned to me.
Shrugging, I corrected him.
I never died.
I was just tricked by the system administrator, the First Angel. The past 2,000 years flew by in the blink of an eye for me.
Are you asking me to join your side, the Demon Lords side, True Hero?
Well, roughly speaking, yes.
Dont get so worked up, Alex. My goal isnt to conquer the whole world. My only aim is to bring the Hero that wants to kill me for no particr reason to my side. Itll give you a glimpse of the world.
Ive seen enough in the past 2,000 years.
Alex wasnt that much of a talker.
The once-dirty continents of Fantasy are now clean and beautiful because of flush toilets, which I introduced. Think about it. Why would I destroy what Ive worked so hard on with my own hands?
And Lanuvel?
Shes a servant of God.
Lanuvel had always been a pain in my ass.
She kidnapped a man living a perfectly good life from Earth and forced him to fight against the Demon Lord,plicating his journey as much as she could in the process.
Could there be something more unforgivable than that?
She even pretended to be cute whilemitting all kinds of atrocities!
Hmmm
Is this really a problem worth getting so worked up about? Alex, youve traveled with me before. You know what kind of person I am.
Wrinkles appeared on Alexs forehead.
As if recalling the events of 2,000 years ago, he replied. Even if the enemy is a newborn baby, youll never show them mercy. Youre willing to use any methods to assure your victory, and you consider it normal to sacrifice the few for the sake of the many.
How witty
But your judgment always gave the best results. You are a far better option than someone whose actions carelessly unleashed war and a massacre for the sake of a girl in tears.
All of his records had disappeared, but Alex, who had been alive for over 2,000 years, still clearly remembered my seniors unjustified cruelty and dark past.
Hisparison inspired me.
Your decision?
I will follow you, but I will not be able to help openly, so you shouldnt expect much from me
Okay. I will create a scenario where I, the MAX-ss Demon Lord, will threaten the chickenyour beloved wifes life. That should provide you with an excuse to work for me.
Alex seemed to want to say something but remained silent.
Is there a problem?
No, I just remembered that yourbat power isnt your most intimidating trait. What should we do about this?
Simple.
I smiled and pulled my cowardly wife around the waist, who yawned to show how bored she was with all this.
***
Ssosia, the cowardly developer who had regained partial control over the Fantasy system, had multiple abilities.
That was why my copies could safely spy on the Hero and Lanuvel.
She also made yet another n of mine possible.
I called you again to introduce the son of my friends friend, Hero Sieg. Hell prove to be of great help in your adventure, which will be full of trials and agony. Alex introduced me. Through his student, Sylvia, he invited Sieg and Lanuvel to his house.
I was going to greet them with the smile of the Righteous Hero, but I had to tone down my expression after Ssosia warned that they might recognize me because of it.
Hello. I am a shaman. The spirit sitting on my head is known as the Lesser Spirit, and the beautiful spirit standing behind me is known as the Greater Spirit. Finally, this cowardly woman is my wife. You can call her Shaman B Kh! Hey! Whats with you?
Standing next to me, Ssosia nudged my side with her elbow.
I quite normally introduced the Addicted Spirit, Rice Cake, and my cowardly wife, yet she still got angry for some reason. Was it because I mentioned herst?
Such childish behavior
Ho ho ho! It is a great honor to meet the Heros Party! I am Sophia Sosiris, the wife of this joker, and we are from the Sosiris estate located in the Magic Kingdom on the Northern Continent. Forgive my husband. It seems he wanted to conceal his real identity, but we shouldnt hide secrets from our future colleagues, should we? My husband is the Marquis and owner of the Sosiris estate. You can call him Marquis Sosiris. And I am the Marchioness, whom he loves and cherishes. You can just call me Sophia. Ssosia introduced us again, inventing her own script.
She didnt care about the audience at all. No one would be interested in such a long and banal performance
Nice to meet you, Marchioness Sophia! Im Lanuvel, an archaeologist who received the prophecy about the Hero and became hispanion. The name of this man drooling at the Greater Spirit is Sieg. You probably wont believe me, but hes the Hero chosen by God. Lanuvel happily replied.
Hmm
Sieg examined me like a private detective.
He was probably looking at my stats, but he wouldnt find anything there.
After all
? Race: Human
? Level: 427
? Job: Shaman (Blessing = Spirit )
? Skills: Spirit ZZ, Blessing Z, Politics A, Resistance A, Nobility B
? Status: Good
I hid everything well.
To mask my appearance, I dyed my hair blue and changed my eye color to gold, which was typical of the royal family and nobility of the Northern Continent.
Other than those, there wasnt much to change.
The nurse who gave birth to me was a real princess of the Northern Continent. Therefore, my face, which had inherited her genes, already had unique traits native to that region.
My skin was snow-white, my nose was slightly raised, I had hair on my chest
My looks were enough to deceive.
And Ssosia?
? Race: Elf
? Level: 389
? Job: Exorcist (Demon Damage )
? Skills: Charm MAX, Exorcism S, Dark Energy Resistance S, Sociability A, Immunity A
? Status: Good
Her horns and wings, both racial traits of demons, had been hidden, and her skin color was changed.
Initially, we were both supposed to be Shamans, but since the demons instinctively obeyed us, she changed her ns, bing the nemesis of the demons, the Exorcist, instead.
Meanwhile, Boris, the real exorcist, hid from prying eyes to coordinate dangerous situations. I didnt want any stupid demons to reveal my identity.
CLAP!
Alex pped his hands.
Attention. This is a gift that my wife has prepared for the Hero. Through this, you can immediately go to any ce that is preserved in your memory.
Woah! Lady Snow Womans Feather! Thanks a lot! Lanuvel epted the gift.
They were given just two of the many feathers hanging from the wings of that mutant harpy, yet they were already making so much noise.
I took about two hundred.
Thanks to Ssosia, who could control the system, it was possible to go anywhere in the Fantasy World without the feathers, but we couldnt use that privilege in front of others.
Hence, the feathers wouldnt be bad to have.
Be careful on your adventure! The Snow Woman wished us good luck.
That was the end of our emotional reunion!
She said goodbye, pping her wings with excitement.
Overjoyed by the fact that the size of their party had grown, Lanuvel waved goodbye to her, then turned to Sieg and pushed him out.
Sieg! Adventures dont wait for anyone! Oh! Dont forget to sell the skins of the hares we caught at dawn.
Hares? Not even ogres?
After his regression, Siegs level had be too low. There was nothing eye-catching about him but his Male Strength Z.
That was easy to fix, however.
The five-hundred percent increase in experience points gained by the Hero as part of their jobs feature wasnt just for decoration. Even with little effort, it increased their efficiency and effectiveness tremendously.
That aside
Is there a problem, Hero Sieg?
From the time I walked out of Alexs luxurious mansion until now, as we walked through the market in the center of the capital of the Dumpling Kingdom, he hadnt stopped staring at me.
That was far from his usual behavior of staring at Sylvias ass instead.
Did he doubt my identity?
No
Thats good.
The rest of my clones couldnt do what I did.
I couldnt permanently control them all, so they didnt join the Heros Party, but I passed a message to Alex through a demon who secretly worked in the Dumpling Kingdom.
And all versions of him throughout the dimensions epted my offer.
If told to obey, he would rebel.
However, I personally followed Hero Sieg and watched his dimensions Alex, analyzing his behavior and thoughts.
The Snow Woman, their marriage, his reputation, his obsession over his wife The message I sent to Alex took all of these things into ount.
That was why I had been sessful.
Sieg! Why do you look like that? You should be happy since we gained newpanions today! Lanuvel put her hands on her hips as she scolded him.
I didnt want to agree with Lanuvel, but I would like to know too.
I met Sieg less than an hour ago. He hadnt received a blow between his 6th and 7th cervical spine yet, and he didnt seem to be aware of my real identity either.
What the hell was wrong with him?
A man is in my party Moreover, a married couple Sieg finally voiced hisint, like a child who didnt like the food served at the table.
There was nothing I could do about my gender, but I could at least improve his situation a little.
Didnt you hear, my cowardly wife? Sieg says he is ufortable around you. Move a little further.
I nudged Ssosia in the side with my elbow.
The time for my revenge hade!
Hey, that hurts! Maybe this isnt about me, but about him? Is it okay for a hero to be like that? Women that dont love him arent even allowed to join his party. Can he really save the world even though he doesnt think with his head?
Dont worry. God will help him.
So far, he could only hunt hares, but after acquiring the Holy Sword A, equipped with an automaticbat function, things would go uphill for him.
The journey would be a little boring until that day arrived, but it couldnt be helped.
Is there a woman who can like such a man?
Why wont there be? There are many of them in novels.
Novels are works of fiction.
What Ive experienced so far isnt that different from their stories, though. Theres still hope for Sieg.
Hmm, I see your point After all, even you managed to get married.
What are you trying to say?
Meanwhile, the Heros Party went to the citys cksmith with the money earned from the sale of hare skins.
Sieg sold his old wooden training sword provided by the Dumpling Kingdom and bought a rusty hunting dagger.
Having already experienced regression, he made the right choice.
The price was the same, but it was better to purchase a dagger with better durability and cutting ability than to upgrade a wooden sword, even if its des length was shorter.
He just needed to be confident in closebat.
Ha!
Hooohh?!
Sieg skipped hunting down hares, slimes, and boars and tried to hunt goblins in the wild instead, sessfully doing so without much difficulty!
Watching him was a little frustrating because he did 100x better than my first round.
Siegs pretty good.
I know. Hell do.
We watched from the side, never interfering with the development of his skills.
Sylvia only helped whenever a group of goblins managed to surround him.
Meanwhile, Lanuvel
Um Excuse me. Its great to see that you are a very close couple, but Sieg looks like hes about tomit suicide. Can you give him some advice?
I went up to Sieg, put my hand on his shoulder, and said, If youre feeling jealous, then you should get married like me. Its really amazing. It fills my everyday life with happiness.
I spoke with the confidence of the Righteous Hero.
Chapter 263 - [14th Round] Discoloration
Chapter 263 - [14th Round] Discoloration
Leave me alone!
Let it go~ let it go~! Cant hold it back anymore~! Let it go~ let it go~!
Sieg waved it off and began to sing a song popr on Earth.
He ran between the bodies of the goblins and heart-rendingly shouted its lyrics.
He looked pretty pathetic.
This song is sticking in my head. Hubby, whats it called?
I dont know.
Title: Let it go
It was suitable for describing how married men felt after leaving the banquet early because their wives were angry.
My demented senior most likely escaped while humming that song as well.
Hero Sieg doesnt seem to be doing well.
There was a cure for his predicament.
In its music video, the older sister ran off singing the song. Her younger sister then chased after her with her boyfriend.
The older sister, realizing that her people needed her, soon returned home.
Hmm so he just needs a family.
Dont worry. Thats Princess Sylvias role.
There was a time when he was married.
To look more dignified in the eyes of his wife and father-inw, he betrayed his race, making him no more than a servant of the elves, but it should be noted that those moments were his heyday.
If I set him up with Sylvia, maybe our journey would progress faster. His hostility towards me would certainly diminish, too.
Marquis Sosiris, its not that nobody wants to marry me. Im just focusing on myself right now. Of course, Im not as charming as women of the human race, but I havent lost to them thanks to my royal status and eternal youth. Please take back what you said about me dating Sieg.
Oh, okay. Sorry.
Sylvia had changed a lot too.
Who would have thought that Sylvia, a man-hater, was capable of polite conversations with people and could make logical arguments!
Still, she was right.
There was no man who wouldnt want his wife to look young. Her disadvantage, of course, was her t chest, but thanks to her royal status, they could easily turn a blind eye to that shoring of hers.
The current Sylvia was out of Siegs league.
In the past, she was in a situation where she simply had no choice, but it was different this time.
Now she could choose her own husband.
Is that so Only a saintess can understand how I feel
Hearing her shocking statement, Sieg took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the case, which depicted a character that resembled a saint from a game.
Looks like he got better.
His mood quickly improved thanks to the 2D character.
Lanuvel! Lets go to the Holy Kingdom and take the Saintess as mypanion!
Without wasting time, he decided to get the 3D version of it.
He was a B-ranked Hero, and he still had many ws, but his quick recovery wasmendable.
Sieg, what makes you think your level is high enough for us to be talking about this?
Lanuvel was, as always, stern in her statements.
Ill raise it fast!
Good. Theres a beginner dungeon nearby that will suit you. After you clear it, well head to the Holy Kingdom.
His journey was postponed, but Sieg easily agreed with everything.
You mean that creepy slime dungeon, right? Watch closely. Ill show you how great I am! Sieg dered confidently, pushing Lanuvel away and stepping forward.
He had regressed so many times that he had already memorized the dungeonsyout by heart.
Eventually, the B-ranked Hero and hispanions arrived at the slime dungeon for beginners below level 30.
***
BOOM! WHOOK!
Mun?
Mun?!
Since he was againstparably weaker opponents, Sieg looked powerful as he exterminated innocent slimes, which gave a negligible amount of experience points, by piercing them with his dagger or simply stepping on them.
In response, the slimes fled deeper into the dungeon.
Hahaha! Silly slimes! What makes you think Ill fall for your stupid traps?
Mun
The slimes tried to lure him, but they failed. He already had this entire dungeons structure memorized, after all.
But he didnt know everything.
Sieg! Lets stop here for a bit!
Why is there a public toilet in a ce like this?
In this era, they installed rudimentary toilets in the dungeons to make sure the heroes wouldnt have to relieve themselves in the corners of the cave like dogs.
You paint yourself as if youre so smart, but youre not even aware of this? Dungeons having public restrooms ismon knowledge.
Thats just not right
One more thing. The toilets must be kept clean. If you break something or leave them dirty, youll be sanctioned to pay apensation fee to the country its installed in. Do you see that magic ball on the ceiling? Its how they keep track of visitors. To keep their privacy intact, they dont monitor what happens inside the restrooms, but everything outside of it is supervised.
As soon as Lanuvel finished exining the situation, Ssosia went to the toilet.
I doubted the owner of the GG-rank Dark Energy couldnt endure not going to thefort room. She probably just wanted to satisfy her curiosity.
This was the first time she saw such a thing in a dungeon.
Shes taking her time in there. Did she need to go to the bathroom that bad?
Ssosia and I were connected by her curse, so I could easily find out where she was and what she was doing if I wanted to.
But I didnt peep and decided to wait instead since I had already seen everything in there anyway.
But Sieg apparently thought differently.
Hmm
He paced back and forth in front of its entrance.
It was a shared toilet, but even though he knew there was a woman inside and her husband was nearby, he kept behaving like that
That hero has no manners at all, Drug Hero.
True. Common sense haspletely abandoned him.
I despited such behaviorsing from a hungry male.
Its not like that! I just really need to use the toilet! Sieg was quick to make excuses.
Human psychology was such an interesting element.
In ces where there were no toilets, people simply retreated into the bushes to relieve themselves instead of holding it in, but if there were one nearby, they would patiently stand in line, no matter how long the queue was.
The former was often the case at the beginning of a heros journey. However, upon reaching level 100, one would finally gain full control over that process, only losing it when they overeat or get sick.
Those around that level could spend around ten days without eating or going to the restroom.
Sieg was only level 31 right now, though.
Since this was just the second day of our journey, it couldnt be said that his level wasgging behind. Regardless, it still didnt allow him to control his physiology.
Sir Hero Sieg, if you really cant wait anymore, you can just do your business in one of this caves dark corners.
No, Ill use the toilet!
Was it because it had grown noisy outside? Ssosia soon emerged, and Sieg immediately rushed into the vacated room.
BAM!
As much as he was impatient, he didnt forget to close the door.
He shouldve told me he needed to go that bad. I would have gone faster. Ssosia shrugged.
Surprisingly, she was now holding Master Mon, who usually hid in her mean chest.
What did you do in there that took you so long?
I went as fast as I could! Dont look at me so suspiciously. I went in to see if there really is a flush toilet in this dungeon, but I didnt find a flush or drainage. Its a slime toilet.
Mon-Mon
Master Mon seemed to be in a good mood since he raised his voice.
Looks like Mon liked the clever slime that works there. So I gave them time to talk.
Is that so
Grand Master Mon had made a new friend. I, his pitiful disciple, had no right toin about his behavior.
I respected Ssosias decision.
You made the right choice!
Mon isnt as huge of a deal as you think But the locals of El Mndo, the homnd of all mons, are.
We talked about various topics while waiting for Sieg toe out, and we soon witnessed something terrible.
Haha! Ill reach level 100 in no time! I destroyed the slime that was hiding in that toilet and immediately got a lot of experience points. Hey! Lanuvel, report this to the Kingdom. It seems that the toilet broke down because of a monster. Sieg sounded confident, pulling up his pants as he exited thefort room.
We were speechless.
How could you do something so terrible
What a ruthless Hero
Sieg! This is not a flush toilet!
Sir Hero Sieg, do you know what slime toilets are?
Receiving criticisms instead of praise, he was at a loss.
Yes, I do. Its a very expensive pot, invented in Sages tower on the Northern Continent. Why would something like that be in such a worthless dungeon? That doesnt make any sense!
Sylvia immediately contested his words.
You speak of olden times, Sir Hero Sieg. Listen to me carefully. About 2,000 years ago, a great prophet provided this world with flush toilets, thereby saving mankind. Slime toilets, reced by flush toilets, have been installed in ces that are difficult to have plumbing installed, like dungeons.
W-well
Flush toilets again?
It looked like cell phones had now be avable to everyone, which was why telephone booths had disappeared.
I apologized to all slimes working in slime toilets!
At that moment, something unexpected urred.
Mon-Mon!
Master Mon, who had lost his new friend, became outright angry. The other slimes also joined him.
Mun! Mun!
Mun! Mun!
Mun! Mun!
Mun! Mun!
Having tried to escape from Siegs ruthlessness before, the slimes stopped abruptly and began to sway in unison.
The ceiling of the dpidated cave started to copse as well.
Such events usually only happened in temporary caves after defeating its Main Boss.
Beginner dungeons didnt fall into that category.
Ten seconds were simply not enough for a hero with a low level and weak skills to escape.
He was no exception.
Marquis Sosiris! The earth spirits Huh?!
Sieg, who traveled with Sylvia during the 4th curriculum, shouted out the smartest solution to our current predicament.
If I used earth spirits here, we could avoid being buried alive.
But the slimes didnt let it happen.
Mun! Mun!
Mun! Mun!
Mun! Mun!
Mun! Mun!
Already preupied with dodging stones falling from above, he was exposed to their attacks.
Lanuvel tried to help him, but
Sieg! The Snow Womans Feather Whoa!
Mon!
Jumping off Ssosias hands, Master Mon swallowed the Snow Womans feather that she was holding and instantly digested it!
S-spare me No!
Sieg disappeared under the rubble of the destroyed cave.
He went back two days in time.
***
My Fantasy adventure had begun anew, and we were now on my 15th round!
If Ssosia and I disappeared, Sieg would think something was wrong, which was why we returned to him again.
We realized something important through that incident.
Regression is just infuriating.
Yeah.
We, the MAX-ss Demon Lord and the Second Demon, had to repeat the same words and actions we said and did around Sieg for the past two days.
Thanks to my transcendental skills, I remembered everything down to the smallest details, but I had no desire to repeat everything from scratch. Fortunately, he only returned two days into the past.
I decided to be careful this round to avoid any unnecessary incidents like that.
Dont die anymore, my friend!
Lanuvel! Lets go to the Holy Kingdom and take the Saintess as mypanion so she can heal my soul!
Sieg, what makes you think your level is high enough for us to be talking about this?
Although Sieg didnt lose his memory, he roughly repeated everything he did.
He apparently decided the previous route was good, aside from killing the slime.
Ill be able to raise it in no time.
Good. Theres a beginner dungeon nearby that will suit you. After you clear it, well head to the Holy Kingdom.
As a result, Lanuvel also repeated her advice and n.
Pompously, Sieg replied. You mean that worthless dungeon with slime toilets? Watch closely. Ill show you how great I am!
It was as if he wasnt just buried alive in that same dungeon.
It made me think regression was truly a great way to wash away the shame of those who couldnt adapt to life in society properly.
Chapter 264 - [15th Round] The Inconvenient Truth
Chapter 264 - [15th Round] The Inconvenient Truth
Mon~?
Mun-Mun~?
While in the middle of the dungeon, we watched a friendly conversation between Grand Master Mon and the slime from the toilet.
I thought Sieg would rush us to leave, but he calmly waited until they finished.
Was it possible that respect for the master had arisen in him too?
Everything went well after that.
Sieg quickly defeated the middle boss, Timid Slime, and then defeated the final boss, Bold Slime, with a little effort.
He reached level 37 in just two days!
Compared to my 1st round, his progress was quite fast.
Lets go to the Holy Kingdom!
Our party decided to leave the Dumpling Kingdom and make our way to the neighboring Holy Kingdom to recruit Saintess A.
Thest time I saw her, Saintess A became a regent, ruling the united Northern Continent in my ce.
Back then, she was an extremely ambitious woman
I wondered if she was still the same now?
Are you a hero? Help! My father is sick!
After we cleared the creepy dungeon with slimes and headed to the capital of the Dumpling Kingdom to stock up for our travel, we were stopped by a young girl who seemed to have been waiting for us.
This was why I didnt use roads.
It would be more profitable to go through the forest and deal with the monsters living there, helping all of humanity.
They could assault passersby, after all. There was no glory or reward, but it was more important than the small side quests given by random citizens.
But these were just my own opinion.
Sieg, the leader of our group, examined the girl from head to toe and smiled at her.
Dear young girl, please tell us whats wrong.
Okay She whimpered.
The girl began to tell her story with tears in her eyes.
Her father, a hunter, was seriously injured during a fight with an orc.
She wanted to hire a healer, but it was too expensive for them. Therefore, she decided to use traditional medicine, purple herbs, that grew only in dense forests.
But you cant collect them because there are terrible monsters all over the woods?
The girl nodded in confirmation.
Dont worry. Ill help you!
The leader of our squad was Sieg.
I didnt really like his decision, but I had grown ustomed to such actions after spending ten years dealing with the spontaneous decisions of mypanions.
How could I forget the pain I suffered throughout my 1st round?
Hence, I didnt interfere.
I wasnt a hero now, but Hero Siegs panion. I would respect his judgment.
However
So your father can be cured? I asked the girl.
It wasnt necessary to go to the forest for herbs. Purple herbs were just a remedy anyway.
It didnt matter how we helped her father heal.
Y-yes, but there I dont see any saintess in your group. One could cure my sick father
Im a shaman.
Wow! Thats a rare upation! Please help me collect herbs with your power! My father is very sick
And I have spirits that can heal.
Sweet girl, please take me to your father. This is usually a paid service, but for your sake, I will make an exception.
I didnt know how deplorable his condition was, but there was no patient that couldnt be healed for a former saintess who could resurrect even a person who died long ago and was left without a body.
The girl smiled awkwardly and stepped back.
Oh! I just remembered I have an urgent appointment. I have to go! Dad, dont worry, Ill cure you somehow! Farewell, Hero!
She ran away.
She was only level 2. There was no way she could hide from us, but we didnt chase after her, for our party leader didnt move.
What just happened?
I tried toe up with the simplest exnation for my naive friend.
The official name of the purple herb that youngdy wanted to find is Celebrity, a rare poppy that only grows in the wild. Although it is used as a pain reliever, it is also the highest ss aphrodisiac. Its as expensive as it is rare and effective. Need more exnation?
So its a top-ss pain reliever
My friends ipetence was phenomenal.
The girl tried to deceive us. Having invented the story about her father, she tried to get expensive herbs for free. I dont know if she even has parents at all.
I disagree, Marquis. Maybe she really did have an urgent appointment! Lanuvel intervened.
Patience, I needed patience. This was not my squad
Ahem, Miss Lanuvel, what kind of meeting could be more important than a sick father?
Um Ah! A date! Even if her father is sick, he probably canst a few more days, but everything would be over if her boyfriend breaks up with her!
Shouldnt it be the other way around?
However, I didnt want to talk to Lanuvel anymore, so I remained silent. Sieg had thest say on our next move anyway.
Lanuvel is right.
Are you out of your mind?
Of course, Hero! I think you made the right decision!
After always lecturing him, she praised Sieg for the first time in two days.
That was already a sign.
Such a sweet girl couldnt possibly lie to me. Of course, I dont believe in her excuse about an urgent meeting. It seems to me that Marquis Sosiris frightened her, causing her to run away.
So this was my fault?
I spoke to her affectionately with the smile of the Righteous Hero, but was scared off? None of this made sense.
Hey, cowardly wife, dont look away.
Well That is a very convincing assumption. Her running away because of her fear of you isnt that far-fetched.
I cant believe you even went that far. That doesnt help at all!
Sieg! Ill follow the girl and find out where her house is. Collect the purple herbs that grow only in the dense forest for now. Meet me at the fountain in the city square at sunset!
Lanuvel soared into the sky using flight magic and followed the girl.
Ah. Just like in my early days.
How could she leave the squad without the Heros permission?
Hey! Sieg! Say something.
We must hurry. There isnt much time left before sunset. Leave the girl to Lanuvel. Well go collect the herbs! Marquis, help us locate them using earth and wind spirits. Sylvia, please collect them as soon as he finds them.
He obediently followed her n.
You heard that, right? Get to work. I told the Earth Spirit King, who was hiding in my groin area.
After that, I gently massaged my temples with my fingers. I felt like my blood pressure had risen.
And all because of my stupid friend!
The time hade to discipline the party by punishing Lanuvel, who willfully detached herself from us.
As you wish. You sound a little like a real hero now, at least.
Princess Sylvia, whom I thought had changed for the better, agreed with Sieg.
Despite the fact that the Elf Kingdom had changed a lot, and the elves now received early education, it seemed that their natural stupidity still remained.
I concentrated and called Boris, who was waiting in the distance.
Master? Is something wrong? I saw Lanuvel leaving your squad.
You did well noticing that. Follow that bitch.
As youmand.
I found the herbs at Siegs request, but it wasnt me who exerted effort for it, but the Earth Spirit King. No, more precisely, it was the spirits at the very bottom of their social hierarchy.
In fact, I didnt even need Sylvia and her stupidity.
I could harvest all medicinal herbs in this forest by mobilizing the spirits. I wouldnt even have to go deep into the forest and fight mosquitoes since they simply collected and delivered the items to us.
Regardless, I didnt intervene and acted in ordance with his instructions.
I finally witnessed my husbands patience again. Cant you be this patient at night?
You can leave if you dont like it.
Even without the cowardly demoness, there were enough heating pads around me to relieve my stress.
Even though youre being mean, I know its just because youre expressing a lot of stress. During times like this, I advise you to enjoy your wifes warm embrace.
Mon~
Master Mon told me to agree, leaving me with no other choice but to do so.
I wrapped my right arm around Ssosias narrow waist and pulled her to me, enjoying her cowardly tenderness.
My mind calmed down a bit.
Miss Sophia, with all due respect, are they real? Sylvia cautiously asked Ssosia, looking at her chest enviously.
Elves that werent t-chested were extremely rare.
Do I need to answer that? She replied.
No I can figure it out just by looking at the expression on your husbands face. Hmm I need to get married soon.
Sylvia didnt question Ssosias form.
Not all elves were the same.
There were ugly elves, fat elves, muscr elves
Of course, purebred elves couldnt have a body as prominent as Ssosia, which defiedmon sense.
I could even argue that her figure was contradictory to the foundations of gics.
Consequently, Sylvia, a royal Arch-Elf with pure blood, had neither dreams nor hopes.
I think I gathered too much
Sieg, the weakest in the squadron, voluntarily became our porter. The B-ranked Hero was sweating noticeably because of the bag of herbs weight.
If it was that hard, he should just save up some money and buy a space bag.
If I were to describe this situation using RPG terms, then
[Gathering herbs: 4713/5]
It would be something like that.
The diligent lower spirits gathered every single purple herb avable in this forest.
Werent there too many of them to bebeled rare?
But they were indeed umon for ordinary herbalists, considering they grew under boulders and in ces where strong monsters lived, making it difficult to harvest them.
After that, we went to the town square to meet up with Lanuvel, who was already waiting for us when we got there. Pretending to be sweet, she waved her arms over her head.
Here! Here!
Sieg waved back.
Did you find the girls house?
No, unfortunately, I didnt.
Eh! What should we do now? I collected so many herbs
As if expecting such an answer from him, she swiftly replied. I have a good idea! Sell them in the market for a low price! That way, the girl will be able to buy them and heal her father.
Oh! Good idea!
That was justughable.
Sieg naively believed that a level 200 mage missed a level 2 girl, and she offered to get rid of the herbs at a low cost, which was tantamount to just throwing them away.
In that case
You must have spent a lot of energy carrying the herbs, so why not have a snack? My treat.
I made an offer the hungry B-ranked Hero, who hadnt eaten since dawn because of Lanuvel, couldnt refuse.
If its the Marquiss treat, then I gratefully ept your offer!
I went to the nearest street vendor.
Give me the four dishes that that great pretender ordered from you not so long ago.
Great pretender? Oh! The lovelydy is here again! Please wait a bit, sir. It will be ready soon.
After finishing our food from one food stall, I took Sieg to another.
And I made the same order.
Give me the same order this great pretender ate this afternoon.
This afternoon? Oh! Miss Lanuvel, I see youve brought your friends to our shop. What you ate just a while ago was pretty spicy, wasnt it? Please sit down and give me a moment! Ill work wonders with my seasonings!
We repeated it over, and over, and over
Sieg, who at first didnt attach much importance to my words, began to notice that something was wrong.
And finally
Lanuvel, you were looking for a girl in town, werent you?
I asked her a question as an ultimatum.
Chapter 265 - [15th Round] I Finally Found it!
Chapter 265 - [15th Round] I Finally Found it!
I was having fun, yes, but not because Imzy. That girl lied. Her parents are healthy. If Sieg found out about it, hed be disappointed, so I told him I couldnt find her. Im sorry I lied!
Lanuvel
Oh! Not all inhabitants of Fantasy are liars! There are many kind and helpful people here!
Lanuvels intentions were understandable.
She didnt know that Sieg had already undergone multiple regressions, which was why she treated him as a beginner who had just been called into this world.
She had to cover up the truth since the first local to ask for his help turned out to be a swindler. Though the girl was innocent-looking, she tried to be rich by using her parents as an excuse.
Her actions were closely rted to human psychology.
When a person, out of the kindness of his soul, helped someone only to be deceived in the end, they would begin to doubt others and stop rushing to help those in need.
Tourists robbed by petty thieves at the airport they just arrived at would feel the same way. They would start considering their destination to be dangerous.
That was why people often said first impressionssted.
Lanuvel, you were so worried about me!
What was he doing?
Shouldnt this moment be the time to punish her? I had to intervene.
Hero Sieg, think about it carefully. The girl lied to use you, and Lanuvel lied as well. The reason isnt important. Excuses will always be no more than excuses. There arent as many good-natured people in the world of Fantasy as she says.
Killing her would be pretty easy, but my goal was to disce her and be the guide of this journey, which in turn would allow him toplete it in peace.
The oue of this journey had been decided from the very beginning.
Complete failure!
I couldnt lose to someone like Sieg.
My main goal was to separate Lanuvel, Gods chief representative, and Sieg, the student.
In doing so, even if he failed to graduate and regressed over and over again, he would no longer ept her as part of his party.
That was exactly what I did starting from the 2nd round.
In the end, I became the Second Demon Lord, opposing God herself.
Likewise, if I wanted to win the students over to my side, I would need to get rid of Lanuvel first.
I couldnt do it myself, however. Instead, I had to indirectly make the Hero realize and understand how terrible her actions were.
Its finally time, Sieg! Kick Lanuvels ass with all your might!
Lying for the sake of goodness isnt a sin, Marquis. She hid the truth from me for my sake and the worlds as well.
It didnt work, huh?
My blood pressure began to rise again.
It didnt matter why she did it. She tried to trick the group leader. In the army, she wouldve been court-martialed for that.
Still, Sieg was stronger than I thought, just in a different sense.
Marquis Sosiris, Im very sorry. I will never lie again! A victorious smile appeared on Lanuvels face.
Hero Sieg, weve already had a snack, so how about we go to an inn and rest?
An inn? But what about the money
If we sell the medicinal herbs that we have collected today at a good price, we should have enough.
I emphasized the word good.
Even Lanuvel, who offered to sell expensive herbs at a low price, remained silent this time.
Her lies had just been exposed, after all.
All she did was have fun in the city while we were gathering herbs in the forest. She didnt have the right to object to what wed do with them.
Shameless as she might be, she understood.
Ah! The more we earn, the better!
Knowing that money would make our lives easier, Sieg agreed with me this time instead of Lanuvel.
However, since it was too predictable, it failed to bring me joy.
Only annoyance and the bitterness of defeat filled my head since I couldnt get rid of her!
Sieg sold the medicinal herbs we collected during the day to the apothecary and the loot we collected from the dungeon to the smithy and haberdashery, amassing a considerable amount of money.
Filling his pockets, Sieg smiled and spoke to himself.
Im d I listened to the Marquis. Although he has a terrible character, he has a head on his shoulders.
I felt no joy in my soul from his praise.
Using the money he got from the herbs that the lower-ranked spirits so eagerly gathered, Sieg renewed his equipment.
He got rid of his school uniform, which had been torn in several ces, and bought armor made of sturdy boar leather.
He kept his rusty hunting dagger as his backup weapon and acquired a sharp longsword as his primary weapon.
What about your helmet and shield, Hero Sieg?
Those items will make me look like less of a brave hero, so no.
I see.
Even if it was inconvenient, he should definitely use a helmet and a shield until he reached level 100 as a precaution against the sudden appearances of powerful and dangerous opponents.
I didnt try to convince him, though, since the moment one learned they would be resurrected upon death, theyd start losing their appreciation for their lives.
The same went for me.
After gaining the Legendary racial trait, in particr, I stopped worrying about protection.
Sieg, lets head to the inn already. Im exhausted!
Youve done nothing but rest all day, Lanuvel.
I cant hear anything~ I cant hear anything~
I wanted to punish Lanuvel myself for trying to extricate herself from every situation by pretending to be cute, but I turned a blind eye to it instead. I just wanted to rest right now.
I was too mentally worn out today.
Your friend is incredible. Ive never seen you show fatigue even when up against my dad, yet hes already squeezed everything out of you after a few days
Shut up.
Sieg got himself a single room, of which there werent so many in the inn. The rest of us took double rooms, one for Lanuvel and Sylvia and another for Ssosia and me.
Because of Sylvias earlier refusal, I wanted to call Boris, but my indecisive wife suddenly changed her mind, causing the whole n to be canceled.
Hey, arent you ashamed in front of Boris?
Im sleeping with you, not because of myck of free will but because Im worried about you. You might get too frustrated and destroy this world Hey?! Be gentle!
Just give up.
I wouldnt allow anyone to sleep tonight. Not even the knocks on the walls could stop me.
The inns walls were thick to protect their customers privacy, but it couldnt do anything against the banging noiseing from the strikes of a level 41 hero who had given in to his emotions.
Marquis Sosiris! Let me sleep! Please!
It was kind of noisy outside. Was a dog barking?
I tortured my cowardly wife.
Until the rooster crowed.
***
The sun was shining brightly. A perfect morning greeted us to start the 3rd stressful day of Siegs journey.
Instead of shabby bedrooms provided by the Dumpling Kingdom in the royal pce, we were able to rx in high-ss hotel rooms, allowing us to rid ourselves of our umted fatigue.
Good morning, Marquis Sosiris, Marchioness Sophia! Lanuvel greeted, waving her arms. She seemed to be the first to go down to the dining room.
Yeah Good morning.
Immediately having to look at her face this early in the day annoyed me, but my mood improved a little when a guy and a girl came down from the second floor like a zombie.
Oh
Ooohhh
Sieg and Sylvia made their way towards us with their eyes half-open. They were nodding off so much their faces almost fell right onto the corn soup the innkeeper prepared for us.
It was unusual to see Sylvia behaving that way, considering her skills werent low, but the sight of her gave me pleasure.
It was evident from their faces that they wanted to get more sleep after breakfast. However, they knew that wouldnt be possible due to Lanuvel, who had been happily eximing about the continuation of our journey all day.
There was one more piece of good news.
Sorry, Sir Hero Sieg. Sir Alex urged me to help you, but I have changed my mind after observing how happy Marchioness Sophia is. I simply must find myself a groom.
Elf Princess Sylvia announced her desire to leave the group.
She had quite apelling reason, too!
Anyone whod look at Ssosia would immediately notice how happy she was due to her MAX-ss husband, which she got thanks to her fathers machinations. As a consequence, such thoughts would inevitably arise within them.
Did you just say I look happy? My cowardly little wife didnt agree with Sylvias statement, but two of the strongest transcendental beings of this world recognized me as a good husband.
The Drug Hero is an incredible husband. Heehee!
I am. She just doesnt seem to realize how happy she truly is.
It didnt matter if she admitted it or not. Sylvia knew the truth because of what happened yesterday evening, which became precisely the reason behind her decision.
She decided to get married as soon as possible.
How so
Sieg, who decided to aim for Saintess A after failing to court Sylvia, fell into despair.
Oh no We only spent a day with you, but I will pray for your happiness.
Damn! Sylvia would most likely never be able to get married now because of Lanuvels curse!
Thank you, Miss Lanuvel.
Unaware that she was cursed, Sylvia thanked Lanuvel and, as if challenged, turned to Ssosia.
You just wait! Ill make sure to marry a nobler man and spend sweet nights with him!
Uh Okay I hope it wont be as difficult as you make it sound, Ssosia shrugged and wished her luck.
So thats the unshakable confidence of a winner, huh?! Hmph! Youll soon see for yourself!
I felt sorry for Sylvia, but it would be impossible to find a man better than me in this world.
1) Job: Demon Lord
2) Experience: MAX-ss Hero with 100 years of experience
3) Combat power: GGG-rank
4) Property: The entire southern part of the Central Continent
5) Appearance: Cute
6) Personality: Simply wonderful!
It was impossible to enumerate all of my amazing traits. However, it should be noted that half of what made the skills of Fantasys creatures were Dark Energy, which I provided this world with.
I was a real deity!
Hence, in this world, there simply couldnt be any man better than me.
Ones soul is much more important than theirbat power, despicable husband.
Souls cant protect the happiness of the family.
We were at Fantasy, a fairly dangerous world.
Young and beautiful wives were often stolen from weaker men here.
Even if men treated the women in their lives well, the moment savages broke into their house or some hooligan tried to harass their wives in the street, the connection they created would disappear like a mirage.
Such a scene wasmon in the ve market.
In novels, women were more expensive than men, but it was actually the opposite.
After all, beauties here werent bought but conquered.
For example, Merchant A and Merchant B had the same amount of capital, and Merchant A bought Beauty A in the ve market while Merchant B bought Warrior B. In novels, Merchant A would be described as the one who made the right choice.
However, in reality, Merchant B would simply order Warrior B to kill Merchant A and take Beauty A away from him.
How much would I be, my cowardly husband?
Women of extraordinary beauty were exceptions, considering their charming smiles had much more power and influence than a hundred pumped-up warriors.
On the other hand, if it were impossible to control a powerful soldier, whose cooperation could dictate a nations victory or defeat when it came to warfare, then there would be no deal at all.
Why are we even talking about this?
It was because my cowardly wife dered that a persons soul was more important than theirbat abilities.
She sounded like she had read too many romance novels.
Only after experiencing being dragged away by a savage or a monster would she realize that women should choose their husbands based on their strength.
Ah I dont like this development, Sieg said as he watched Sylvia leave to search for love.
There was no limit to human greed.
Sieg, dont be so upset that Sylvia left. Meetings are followed by partings. Our journey isnt just all about leveling up and searching for treasures. Finding new friends andpanions to defeat the Demon Lord with is part of the adventure. Ill also always be here to help you, so dont worry too much about it!
Ah I want to start all over again
Sieg seemed to be treating this world as an RPG game.
He does not value his life at all, The Creator-Goddess Fantasy expressed her dissatisfaction about having her world treated like some kind of entertainingputer game.
With both hands, she soon began to knead Master Mon, who was sitting on herp, like dough.
Hey! What do you think youre doing with the greatest creation to ever exist?! May heaven punish you!
Dont get so worked up. Im only making small changes to the world.
Mon! Mon! Mon!
Ssosias words were strange.
How could she change the world by touching Master Mon?
I cant see any changes.
Sieg, staring at Lanuvels ass as she walked in front of everyone to show the way to the Holy Kingdom, also looked the same.
Naturally. The process will start only after his death.
His death?
Yes.
Looking at the back of Siegs head, I smiled.
After parting with stupid Sylvia, he wanted to start all over again. I, his Max-ss senior, should grant him his wish without fail.
It was easy to kill a hero who wasnt even level 50 yet.
I was a little worried about his Male Strength Z since it made him stronger if there was a woman nearby who would support him, but there should be no problem if I dealt with Lanuvel simultaneously.
I didnt have to worry about repeating the same steps, too.
After all, Sieg would choose a path where he wouldnt meet Ssosia or me.
There was nothing that could get in my way.
The Demon Lord would kill him, so he shouldnt have any regrets.
Even if he applied for admission to two universities, didnt being rejected by a first-ss university sound better than being rejected by a third-rate one?
I began to umte power, transferring it to my clone weakened by the Demon Lords job penalty. It was difficult and tedious, but there was nothing I could do about it.
It was all to destroy Sieg with one blow.
He didnt have to understand how he died at all.
However, as I was about to strike him
? Appearance: Ah! Yes! I finally found you! You have so many clones that doing so took me so long, cadet Kang Han Soo.
Beautiful in body and soul, Trainee Teacher greeted me with joy.
Chapter 266 - [15th Round] Smart Female Student!
Chapter 266 - [15th Round] Smart Female Student!
? Embarrassment: Cadet Kang Han Soo, you keep calling me beautiful even though you havent seen me yet, which makes your words sound more like teases thanpliments. Well, at least its better than the time you assumed I was a hairy man
d to meet you again, my secret friend!
But I didnt expect her to contact me since I had already be the Demon Lord.
The system informed me that people would be specially assigned to observe me, but I didnt think it would be the beautiful Trainee Teacher.
I assumed the one whod appear would be the grim-faced Physical Education Teacher, whod then say, Work harder!
? Pride: The seniors said I was the perfect fit since I had looked after you for quite some time. Im so d to finally be recognized by my wonderful senior colleagues!
I disagreed about the teachers who threw their work at their younger colleagues being wonderful, but I didntin since it was thanks to their ipetence that I was able to meet Trainee Teacher again.
Do you have something to tell me? I suspect the faculty have a message for me that they dont want to convey in person.
? Confirmation: Yes. This is an official appeal. Um, you should get ready. Its very long.
Long? How much?
? Official Statement: Greetings. I am Parmael, Chairman of the Board and Director. I am also the one who founded Fantasy, a training center with longstanding history and traditions. First of all, I would like to apologize for the tragic incident that happened to student Kang Han Soo who bravely stepped into an unfamiliar world and graduated with excellent grades from a primary school that inspires hopes and dreams. Primary education is essentially made to give students time to adjust to the Fantasy World. I still vividly remember the old image of student Kang Han Soo looking around with fear and curiosity in his eyes after parting with his friends and family. It feels like it was just yesterday, but 100 years have already passed since then.
? If the primary education course is a period of adaptation to Fantasy, then the secondary education course is the real beginning of serious learning. It enables students to be aware of the significance of good and evil through more challenging adventures. As a result, they would ponder over the meaning of evil introduced as demons in the primary education course. ()
? Based on the data obtained throughout their secondary education course, a unique professional approach personalized for each student would be used for their higher education courses. Although Kang Han Soo didntplete the secondary education course in the curriculum, based on the faculty members rmendations and excellent admission grades, we have inferred that you would be a great Hero in the future, which is why I feel even worse for the unpleasant incident that happened to student Kang Han Soo.
Hey Trainee Teacher? When will it end?
? Answer: Um I think Ive read about 1/3 of it.
Dear God
? Official Statement: I shall tell you the whole truth about the incident that happened to student Kang Han Soo, an undoubted victim of circumstance. Its a shame to admit this, but, unfortunately, it all started with the cruel behavior of a Fantasy School graduate. He demanded that the school erase his personal file, which was full of bad grades and terrible behavior. He even threatened his beautiful alma mater and the teachers who raised him like their own son by saying that he would resort to violence if we didnt agree to fulfill his demands. His atrocities against this special ce of remembrance are unforgivable, considering this institution helped him be a member of society and showed him the right path when he wandered away from his destiny during his primary education course. ()
? As the Director of Fantasy, I decided to punish the unscrupulous teachers who gave that awful student high marks and diplomas. At the same time, I feel guilty for not doing this sooner. I hope this news would bring student Kang Han Soo, who is probably puzzled and angry about this situation, at least a bit offort. In addition, I would like to express my gratitude for his honesty and sincerity. He always criticized the cruelty of his senior, who had always been insidious and vindictive, and even helped the school get out of this crisis. Your feat will certainly enter the Hall of Fame, and you will serve as a model example for your juniors. I hope that at least brings you a bit of constion.
Physically and mentally beautiful Trainee Teacher! Im deeply sorry for interrupting you while youre diligently reading that message without a break, but can you skip to thest line?
? Problem: Sorry. Theres nothing I can do about it because of the school rules. Please dont get distracted by counting the stars in the Milky Way in broad daylight and listen to me all the way to the end. This parts the most important!
Well, just summarize it, please? Just give me the important points
? Official Statement: The schools investigation team is currently looking into the possibility that one of the alumni helped Demon Lord Pedonar escape by colluding with him. It has also been established that there is an aplice among the teachers who provided the Demon Lord with Kang Han Soos personal file. Hence, an internal audit is currently underway. It is expected that the investigation team will soon be able to present their findings since they are the best professionals in their field throughout the universe. Therefore, I ask the benevolent and kind Kang Han Soo to wait patiently for the results. Generosity is a good virtue that any good Hero should possess. ()
? Youll never be able to move forward if you forever regret your mistakes-filled past. I never thought the Demon Lords work was insignificant. Although not a teacher, he is a guide that helps students to be great Heroes. I have seen countless disciples who were rejected after the fall of the Demon Lord. There are no heroes without the Demon Lord. Dear student Kang Han Soo, dont be discouraged by your new job and be proud of yourself. I am grateful to the universe and the fates for providing this institution with wonderful students ready to make sacrifices in these difficult times. I am proud of you as a teacher. I pray that your future as the Demon Lord guiding the younger generations to be filled with endless development and progress.
Was that all?
Is it really over?!
? Confirmation: I have read everything the message contains.
Trainee Teacher, thank you for reading it with zeal, but I have a question!
There seemed to be no mention of the significant damages I sustained in the directors address.
What was her name again? Parmamon?
? Correction: Not Parmamon, but Director Parmael. Ahem. I think thepensation wasnt mentioned because this is an official statement. It would be strange to hear from the God of this world that it wants to reward the Demon Lord.
So there will still bepensation, but it wouldnt be formally recognized?
? Joy: Yes! Dont be surprised, but my high-ranking senior colleagues approached me, an intern, and asked for my opinion, which is amazing! They even epted it!
Dont be so nervous, Miss Trainee.
I didnt think anything was surprising about that.
It made perfect sense to ask the opinion of a trainee who knew me better than anyone else.
No, this was a clever way for them to avoid contact with me.
If I didnt like the damagepensation provided, the innocent Trainee Teacher would be responsible for it!
So much for your wonderful colleagues
? Smile: Thank you for thinking of me, but there is nothing to worry about. If you like it, then it wont be a problem, right? And Im sure I made the right choice!
Woah. How can you be so sure? Would you hit your senior colleagues or headmaster between their sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae and their fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae for me?
There was hardly any otherpensation that could soften my anger.
? Goosebumps: Its a little different, but I think my choice is better! Remember student Siegs smartphone?
Sure. Do you mean thattest smartphone with a character from the famous RPG Saintess Mary on its case?
? Confusion: By todays standards, its already outdated
Ah
Indeed.
I had been in this world for 100 years.
On the beautiful green Earth, time flowed ten times slower than in the Fantasy dimension, but it didnt stoppletely.
In other words, ten years had passed on Earth.
I was scared of my mothers tennis racket all along, but now I was worried that her punching power would be GGG-ranked since I was getting older.
? Smile: Why not ask her personally?
Huh?
? Exnation: Cadet Sieg hasnt noticed yet, but thanks to the Wi-Fi hotspot in his phone, it is now possible to connect to thework. Do you see where Im going with this?
I do very well, Trainee Teacher!
That meant that the wonderful earthly Inte was now essible in the Fantasy World!
Can I take a look at your smart essory with that nude saintess design, Hero Sieg?
Uhh Okay.
Momentarily confused by my sudden request, he took his smartphone out of his pocket and handed it to me.
A cellphone that didnt have ess to the Inte would only be valuable for its camera.
In the case of my friend Sieg, every time he came back, the photos he took disappeared. Its battery wasnt infinite either, so he stopped taking pictures at some point.
If one sold a smartphone to a nobleman fond of collecting rare items, theyd be able to get a lot of money.
But now everything would be different!
Thanks to Wi-Fi, the possibilities had expanded significantly.
Woah, seriously
Everything was as the most beautiful and intelligent Trainee Teacher in the whole Universe said.
As soon as I turned on his smartphone, an informational message appeared: Searching for awork Soon enough, I managed to connect. All that remained was for me to enter its password.
The signal level was very weak, only 1 out of 4 bars, but the fact that it had a signal in itself was significant already.
I had to strain my memory.
About 88 years ago, Sieg entered Fantasy and fiddled with his smartphone.
There was nothing I could do about fingerprint recognitions, but passwords were different. Back then, I looked over Siegs shoulder when he shouted, Wow! I remembered my password!
The password then was 569#.
Cowardly hubby you look like the whole world is in your hands.
Indeed, its as if Drug Hero is under hypnosis. I tapped his forehead with my heels, but he didnt react. Before, he would have punished me with his fingers already
Quiet. I dont have time to y with you right now.
Its a pity that its almost drained.
I didnt return the smartphone to Sieg but put it in my pocket.
Hey! What are you doing? Thats mine! Give back Kh?!
Oh. My hand slipped.
It was annoying that my copies were subject to the Demon Lords job penalty, which made them adjust to the strength of weak Heroes.
But the clone I personally controlled as I sat on the Demon Lords throne back in the castle was special. Its power was different from others.
I had been infusing it with additional strength to kill Sieg and Lanuvel in one shot.
Hence, even one touch was enough
Haha! Hero! You are really weak. Dislocation, sprain, fracture, inmmation, concussion, and bleeding
What Marquis?!
Sieg, who fell to the ground as his blood burst, hadnt yet realized what had happened.
I hugged Ssosia by her waist and took her in my arms, then spread the wings of the righteous hero and soared into the air, leaving him with a promation.
Hero Sieg! If you want to get your item back,e to the Demon Lords castle. Ill be waiting there!
To take control of Fantasy, Sieg had to be my first ally and the impetus to recruit all the other heroes into my ranks.
However, the n changed when the most beautiful and intelligent Trainee Teacher presented such a wonderful gift.
The Demon Lords Castle? But the Demon Lord I know is
Did you not listen to Lanuvels exnation earlier?
Of course, I understood Sieg well. He didnt listen to Lanuvel, who repeated the same thing every time she returned.
I had done this since the 3rd round.
I banished the Demon Lord Pedonar and became the Demon Lord myself! My name is Demon Lord Parmamon!
I decided to ruin Director Parmamons name for introducing me to a new concept of verbal violence!
This was my revenge! Haha!
? Confusion: As I said, the directors name is Parmael, not Parmamon
Is it?
But I already called myself Demon Lord Parmamon. It would be strange to change my name after all that had been said.
Demon Lord Parmamon, you outwitted me! Then your wife
Sieg, who stood up with Lanuvels support and trembled all over, stared at Ssosia, whom I was holding in my arms.
She replied in a nonchnt tone. Im still his wife.
The Demon Lords wife! So the fact that youre an elf is also a lie! It was suspicious from the start! There cannot be such a beautiful elf with suchrge breasts!
That is a disrespectful remark to the elf race. Historically Kya! Whats the matter?
You talk too much, cowardly wife!
The MAX-ss husband would be busy exploring the modern culture of his beautiful home.
New phones, games, anime, short stories, TV series, films
Its battery charge wasnt infinite. I had no time to waste time on Sieg.
Hero Sieg! You better not die! If you die, then I will find you and kill you again!
If he got himself killed, the world would reboot.
His smartphone, which didnt belong to me, would ten disappear and return to his hands.
I wouldnt want to go through the trouble of reiming it again.
At the very least, Sieg should remain alive until its battery had run out.
What do you mean?
Since Im in a good mood today, I will spare you, Hero Sieg and Lanuvel the Liar.
Vile Demon Lord Parmamon! You lied way worse than her!
Dontpare me to her. It disgusts me!
Ooh! The Demon Lord mentioned me! Im getting goosebumps!
FSHUH!
I soared high into the skies without answering Lanuvel, who, until the very end, pretended to be sweet even despite the critical situation.
Lets go back to our cozy bed to customize your smartphone, said Ssosia.
After acquiring an item as important and useful as flush toilets, the MAX-ss Demon Lord went on a long vacation!
Chapter 267 - [15th Round] Wifi is…?
Chapter 267 - [15th Round] Wifi is?
Ehehehe!
My cowardly hubby, I havent seen you in such a pitiful form for a long time.
I couldnt care less.
As soon as I heard aboutwork connectivity from Miss Trainee, I immediately tried my luck with Siegs smartphone.
In the end, I seeded!
I didnt know how realistic it was to connect to Earthsmunicationwork from the Fantasy World, but the message stating sessfulwork connection on the screen was real.
Ha, there are only 7 missed calls and SMS.
Six of them were from a contact signed as Mom, and thest was a text message from the police station that said, Please contact us as soon as you see this text.
And after just a minute
A farewell message came from the cellrpany, which politely said: We feel terrible for having to say goodbye to one of our dear clients because of their unmet payment responsibilities. Best wishes!
Sieg had been stuck in the Fantasy dimension for quite some time.
He had been here shorter than me, but his stay here would still be about nine Earth years. Surprisingly, however, the only person who was worried about his disappearance was mom.
Such a sad life he used to live.
All social outcasts are like that.
On the other hand, locals of Fantasy showed interest in such people, giving them warm looks and smiles so they could then use them for free.
They always told them they were the chosen Hero.
After being abducted into Fantasy World and being told to defeat the Demon Lord, anyone withmon sense would give them false hope by saying, please leave this to me, beforeing up with an escape n.
However, as seen from Siegs 1st round, social outcasts were often hungry for love and could be brainwashed with just a little attention.
What about you?
I was an exemry inhabitant of the Earth, well adapted to life in society.
It was impossible to prove this right now because I didnt have my phone in my hands during the spatial movement, but it probably had hundreds of missed calls and messages by now.
Ssosia looked at me doubtfully.
What? Is it that unbelievable?
Hmm This, of course, is not an absolute criterion, but heroes are mainly chosen from high school students who arent happy with their current life and are eager to escape. Therefore, summoning a hero is considered an invitation, not a kidnapping. You were probably dissatisfied with society or your environment.
No.
Think hard.
I was doing fine.
Really?
Really.
I answered my distrustful wife and sprawled on the bed, fiddling with my smartphone.
First, I installed the messenger.
I was a little nervous because my messenger ount might have been blocked, considering my citizen registration number was canceled due to my disappearance. Everything remained perfectly fine, though, so I was d.
Then the corners of my lips lifted.
Look, cowardly wife. This is what your husband is like.
Is this some kind of illusion?
Thats impossible.
But this doesnt make sense. More than 300 people are waiting for you on Earth Huh? Wait a minute! Why are high-ranking people like presidents and prime ministers looking for you?
Well
When I had the opportunity to breathe in the polluted air of my hometown for a bit, I used Dark Energy and recruited followers to protect my parents.
Ssosia stared at me with an odd expression on her face.
My husband are you a Demon Lord to the core?
Stop talking nonsense and give me back my smartphone. And make a charger for it. Youre an engineer who can even create lightsabers, arent you?
Dont make things up. Its not as easy as it sounds. There is no infrastructure here. I also have no idea what the charger you need looks like.
So you need a sample?
Sieg didnt have a charger. However, there had to be at least a few students abducted into Fantasy who had one with them.
But there was one more problem.
Oh These are ancient technologies that use electricity, not magic. You will need a generator and an adapter to change the voltage.
Generator
Magical engineering, the mainstream developmental technique of wizards and dwarves in Fantasy, used magical power.
While this world benefited from flush toilets since it elerated the development of civilizations, its basic structure hadnt changed.
Ssosia decided to put an end to it, saying, Im sorry to disappoint you, but Im a programmer, not an engineer. I graduated in software engineering from the Mon Academy, one of the most prestigious universities in the world. I received my second ss software engineering degree from the El Mndo. I dont know how to create mechanisms, but I work well with them.
Im very disappointed!
You couldve said my expertise is enough instead, my dastardly husband
How could you deceive your husband like that? What about the lightsaber?
Mon made it.
Mon~ The greatest creature to ever exist was naturally capable of solving the most difficult situations. He swayed from side to side in surprise.
Is that so
I didnt even need to be convinced that Master Mon had the ability to do that.
He was so omnipotent that even my demented senior, the ruler of the gxy, couldnt rebel against him.
Mon can copy everything he swallowed once. The local Mons of El Mndo all have first-ss software engineering diplomas, can create whole worlds, and arent limited to duplication, but those are first-ss Mons living on their home. Unlike them, my Mon is a gift from a friend. He doesnt have a diploma
Ha! Master Mon doesnt need a diploma!
Ones skills and the presence of a diploma in their arsenal werent always directly proportional.
I wasnt an orthopedic surgeon who graduated from medical school, but I was confident that I could easily treat my spine.
Anyway, he can copy this smartphone if you want.
Hmm
Master Mon, who controlled the entire universe, shouldnt be bothered by his pitiful apprentice.
Can he copy its battery?
It would be useless. Mon cant create a charge.
Even though Siegs smartphone wasnt used frequently, its battery was still already almost empty.
I found mother in the contact list of my messenger.
I found messages from her from ten years ago.
Mother: Stop fooling around,e home. (16:32)
Mother: Son, dont try your mothers patience ^^. (17:01)
Mother: Do you want me to nail you? (17:35)
Well
It seemed I had been granted a death sentence only an hour after I went missing. And now ten years had passed
I wanted to read all the messages from her, but the phones battery was almost dead.
Hence, I scrolled through everything and went to thest ones:
Mother: Son, youre very lucky ^^. (8:04)
Mother: My daughter-inw is very sweet and capable. (8:05)
Mother: Come back soon. I want to have a grandson. (23:46)
Daughter-inw?
I had been married twice, the unofficial one included.
Being a sweet emperor at the age of 3, I voluntarily bonded with the Sword Princess, and then I fell for the cunning tricks of the Demon Lord Pedonar, who foisted his daughter Ssosia on me.
But it wasnt on Earth, and I never introduced them to my mother.
I quickly typed down and sent my replies.
Me: Im fine. (5:26)
Me: It will take a little longer to get back. (5:26)
Me: I love you very much. (5:26)
Me: By the way, I dont see any messages from Father. (5:26)
Me: Tell him Im upset. (5:26)
Me: And what daughter-inw are you talking about? (5:26)
Me: Dont trust scammers. (5:26)
I wanted to know the scammers identity who pretended to be my wife, but unfortunately, it was 5 AM in my hometown on Earth.
The battery had died out, and the smartphone had turned off before my mother could even reply.
Damn it! I sent just a few messages, but the battery immediately died!
Now this smartphone was as useless as a brick despite the presence of awork.
Whos the daughter-inw your mother was talking about, my cowardly hubby?
I have no idea.
At the time, I was an exemry high school student. I didnt have time to hang out with the opposite sex. Not to mention getting married
It was ridiculous.
I just want to make sure. Is your family rich?
No.
My family was financially average, and the only fact we could be proud of was that we lived without loans and debts.
I mean, at least shes not talking to your parents to siphon off money.
Ssosia, what are you getting at?
Im just really surprised. I must also apologize. I havee to the conclusion that I was wrong about you being a social outcast. I couldnt even imagine youre capable of keeping a rtionship with a girl who, even after ten years since your disappearance, still cant forget you and is still waiting for you.
Now you understand? You should be grateful that such a popr guy married you.
I will only say this once. I am grateful.
Ssosia, who was lying next to me, smiled brightly.
Ahem First, we need to somehow solve the charging problem.
I needed to get my smartphone working again to hear from my mother about the woman who imed to be my wife on Earth.
It was hard for civilized people to live in this world.
At that moment
I returned as soon as I received news that Your Majesty has returned! Would you like to hold the meeting that was postponed indefinitely now? A mans voice came from the entrance of the throne room.
I knew who it was.
Demon Grand Duke B.
Grand Duke A received his title from the Demon Lord Pedonar, who endowed him with Dark Energy, but Grand Duke B had real talent and rose to his current position solely through his own efforts.
But that was the scenario of the 4th curriculum.
When the Demon Lord changed, a lot changed about the world as well.
Grand Duke A no longer existed since no one gave him this title.
But things were different with Grand Duke B, so he was present here.
He was also one of the few demons who stayed with the Demon Lord after losing all of his territories and being surrounded by a human army.
Another meeting? Yes, it must be done.
My clones were very passive. Therefore, like the Demon Lord Pedonar, all they did was sit on the throne and waited endlessly.
They just waited for the Heros arrival.
However, it was quite possible to perform simple actions, with the exception of battles.
An example would be giving orders to demon subjects.
Oh! Your Majesty! Congrattions on your resurrection!
Grand Duke B bowed before me with tears of happiness in his eyes.
Grand Duke B.
Right. Let me introduce myself
Grand Duke B.
Yes, Your Majesty! Call me whatever you like!
Exhausting Dark Energy, as my father-inw did, I, along with the rest of the copies, majestically proimed:
I, Parmamon, the MAX-ss Demon Lord,mand all high-ranking demons to answer my call. The time hase to punish humanity for the arrogance they now disy after experiencing thefort of flush toilets!
All heroes smartphones would be mine!
Chapter 268 - [16th Round] Behind the Scenes
Chapter 268 - [16th Round] Behind the Scenes
I set my sights on the primary education course.
It might seem the MAX-ss Righteous Demon Lord was mocking and oppressing the weak, but those were nothing but mere delusions of narrow-minded people.
When the heroes were summoned to elementary school, some of their belongings fell into this world with them.
Every time a neer regressed, his items would return with him.
Before graduating from primary education, I constantly started in a school uniform with a sharp 0.3 mm pencil in my pocket.
After I fell into the trap of my demented senior, I was reborn as the sweet emperor of Fantasys Northern Continent, which was why I would always be naked upon regression. However, after I switched to secondary education, I was finally able to get rid of the free strip show.
Your Majesty Parmamon! Everyone has gathered!
Demon royals had rallied in my throne room, responding to my call.
Sitting on my throne, I examined everyone, leading me to a question I couldnt help but ask Grand Duke B about.
These are all of them?
There were only eight before me.
Yes, unfortunately. Over the past two millennia, due to the emergence of flush toilets, the Demon Lords army lost almost all of itsnds and people. More demons are hiding all over the world with their followers, but they regrettably dont have the strength to heed your beckoning.
Damn
They were strong demons, considering they managed to hold out for this long, but among them all, only Grand Duke B could engage inbat against powerful opponents.
The rest were women who were aristocrats only in status, not strength.
Theyre the survivors of high-ranking families. After all the men were killed on the battlefield, they seeded them. Theyre also my spouses, but if you want, I can
Dont.
I wasnt as omnivorous as my malevolent senior, and I was a married man with a child myself. I didnt need marrieddies.
My cowardly wife was enough for me.
The capital has been in the humans encirclement for about 500 years now. Thanks to some of the demon followers scattered all over the world, were still somehow holding on, but enemy strongholds are surrounding us on all fronts.
I see.
The fact that we hadnt lost yet in my absence was amazing.
Furthermore, humanitys poption has dramatically grown due to the great achievements Your Majesty made before your slumber. Since their lifespan is short, many of them have already forgotten all about it, but dragons and elves still remember your greatest aplishments.
In other words, were locked up in here.
Exactly.
Our situation proved stressful.
The humanity I raised was now threatening me.
From now on, I would have to deal with everything in order.
How interesting.
I had no intention of starting a war.
I couldnt easily win a war right now anyway. Since my copies were passive, I couldnt just throw them into battle. The power of my demons was also absolutely terrible.
My only target was the heroes smartphones.
I had no intention of destroying Fantasy, which I supplied with flush toilets.
Only the demon followers were avable for me to use, so Id have to be content with them and the strong ally at my disposal.
Grand Duke B.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Give this letter to Alex.
Are you talking about Sword God Alex, known as the Invincible Hero and the Snow Womans Protector?
Yes.
My clones made many identical letters, making them look like photocopiers. They then repeated my order to Grand Duke B.
What were the letters contents, cowardly husband?
Youll see soon enough.
Hmm Some dastardly n again?
Ignoring Ssosias provocations, Imanded Grand Duke B.
Send this to Giant King Phoenix of the Southern Continent. Hes not dead yet, is he?
The King of Giants gained eternal youth when he swallowed the First Elf.
But that was about 2,000 years ago.
A lot had happened during those millenniums. I had to rify his existence.
The Giant King is in good health. He has been ruling the most powerful empire in all of the continents for the past 2,000 years. Even the Sword God cannotpete against Phoenix, who can cause a typhoon with just a whistle.
Ah. He seeded.
It was as if it was just yesterday that Captain Fantasys soft booty crushed him.
Are you certain you want this letter delivered to the Giant King?
Yes.
That marked thepletion of my ns first phase.
Now, I needed to observe the heroes actions and make ns ording to them.
Ssosia, follow me.
Sieg again? She asked discontentedly, even though she just recently felt sorry for him due to hisck of friends. That assured me her pity for him was hallow.
Yes. I know his smartphones password, after all.
Isnt that too trifling of a reason, useless hubby? Are you not at all ashamed to stand in front of him?
No.
Noints allowed!
Siegs phone had died, so knowing his password meant nothing in the current situation.
I had to charge it first.
***
Wee, Sir Hero!
To think Id die from having a meteorite suddenly fall on my head
Chargingpleted!
Have youe to your senses?
Ha! Thats crazy!
Sir Hero, please pull yourself together.
Sieg looked at Lanuvel with a confused expression as she greeted him.
He went to the Holy Kingdom to take Saintess A as apanion, but after a meteorite fell on his head, he died at level 64, causing him to regress.
I was just a casual witness of that scene.
It was nothing but an ident.
Wheres your conscience, cowardly husband?
Shh. Shut up.
He began a new journey.
We were no longer hispanions this time but mere observers. We needed to be careful not to get caught.
Sieg himself wouldnt be able to detect us, but practicing caution wouldnt hurt.
Confused, he found himself in the Dumpling Kingdom.
He had already spent about 88 years in Fantasy, yet he still didnt know basic etiquettes, causing aristocrats tough at him. After a thirty-second conversation with the haughty Dumpling King, he was granted volunteer status.
His adventures second day came in no time at all.
Waking up in a shabby little room that even the maids didnt use, Sieg prepared to hunt for hares, needing to earn enough money to buy a rusty dagger again.
However, on the way out of the pce, Elf Princess Sylvia blocked his way.
Hello, Sir Hero. I
Sylvia!
How ill-mannered. From our very first meeting, you immediately treat me with so much familiarity.
Oh! Please excuse my rudeness, Princess Sylvia. I just couldnt help but feel pleased to meet such a beautiful princess. You are like an oasis in a desert
I apologize for being this way.
Oh, no! I didnt mean any harm! I just wanted to say that youfort my heart like an oasis
Theres no need for you to exin further.
Oh
Sieg looked desperate, but Sylvias appearance was an impetus for him.
He no longer paid attention to Lanuvel, who was trying to please him.
That was how interested he was in her.
I was certain of it.
Even though I had be the MAX-ss Demon Lord, thanks to my contract with Shadow A, I was still able to take advantage of the privileges of an honorary teacher.
Through it, I could calmly read Siegs thoughts.
Why did Sylvia appear now?!
Hey, friend. Its easier to just give up. You wont be able to do anything beneficial for your rtionship with her using your stupid head anyway.
My copies had already written and sent a letter to Alex, who gave Sylvia an order as soon as he read it to lead the Hero to him.
The glorious Sword God of Fantasy, Sir Alex, wishes to meet you, Sir Hero.
Thanks, but
I apologize, but if you refuse, I will have to bring you by force.
Oh!
Hearing Sylvias words, he jumped from his seat.
The reason was simple.
If I meet with him, that demonic couple will try to get into the group again! I will never allow that to happen again!
Dont worry, Sieg. That scenario has already been canceled.
He, of course, wasnt aware of such a change, which was why he refused. However, upon doing so, Sylvia, a level 425 Elf, forcibly dragged the level 1 Hero to Alexs abode.
Together with Lanuvel.
Wee, Hero, Alex greeted him happily, as per my instructions.
Kh Alex Why
The Demon Lord is incredibly powerful and also cunning beyondparison. The Snow Woman and I have known him for a long time, so we know very well about it. If you n to confront the Demon Lord with reckless courage and ignorant hope in your heart, then only trials and adversities await you.
Hey, Alex. Where are those empty threatsing from? Im but a well-mannered MAX-ss Demon Lord.
I would support the spines of all my juniors without any discrimination.
Alex is right, Sir Hero! Oh! Hello! I am the Snow Woman! My full name is White Chicken. I like the name my previous owner gave me, but Alex doesnt like it, so please call me Snow Woman. Since I have no hands, he takes care of me.
Nice to meet you, SnowKh?!
Dont stare at my wife, whom I have taken care of for the past two millenniums, Hero, unless you want me to rip out your shameless eyes.
Alex grabbed Sieg by the throat again as he greeted the Snow Woman.
He seemed unable to correct his bad habits even after several regressions.
***
After receiving my letter from my clone, every Alex of the primary education courses dimensions began to train the heroes.
Of course, it all started with beatings under the guise of training.
Alex, Im hungry, said the armless Snow Woman, who was always interfering with training.
Exining something about fencing, the Sword God replied without a shadow of irritation on his face. Oh! So much time has passed already, huh? Hero, take this stone and bring it to the top of that mountain. Ill be checking this taskspletion after Ive fed my wife, so its better for your bones if you dont cheat.
How can you expect me to lift such a huge rock all the way to that ce at level 1, Alex?
I despise being interrupted while looking after the Snow Woman. No one has the right to take away the precious time that I get to spend with her from me.
Sylvia, Miss Lanuvel, make sure the Hero does not shirk.
All the heroes from the primary education course, including Sieg, grabbed the object and began to carry them up the mountain.
At this time, Demon A, who received my order, entered Alexs house and picked up the heroes belongings.
I couldve just taken their smartphone, but that would make them question why I focused solely on a single item when the demons and the rest of this worlds natives didnt even know what a phone was.
Hence, I ended up having to issue amand to steal all of their items instead.
Everything was simple after that.
Sir Demon, please tell my owner I said hi!
After stuffing her stomach with the food Alex had prepared, the Snow Woman transported Demon A to the Demon Lords castle.
If the heroes got their hands on her feathers, theyd be able to invade my fortress without needing to pass through my security system, much less travel to my territory.
But they didnt know about this.
***
Thanks to Alex, I was able to gather the heroes smartphones in no time.
Due to the weak signal, their battery quickly ran out, but there was no need to worry about that.
I had the world on a string, as an old saying went.
I could change smartphones from copy to copy, providing me with infinite battery life.
There was just one problem.
I forgot that smartphones have passwords!
I know Siegs password, so I could easily use it, but I didnt know the other heroes passwords.
That was a huge mistake on my part! I couldnt use any of them even if they still had a charge!
Even Master Monughed as he passed by.
Mon-Mon!
Hmm! Greatest Being, how can you do this to your disciple
? Regret: Im sorry, cadet Kang Han Soo. The rules prohibitmunication, so I cant help you
Its okay, smart and beautiful Trainee Teacher!
The faculty members and their malevolence were to me, considering they provided ess to the Inte but not a smartphone. All they did was add more problems to my list.
Regardless, I had a solution.
Time to use the power of beauty!
I just had to send spies to approach the heroes and ask, seduce, deceive, or observe them for their passwords.
Send beauties to the male heroes and handsome men to female heroes!
I also made sure they wouldnt be as stupid as the Snow Woman despite their striking looks.
They had to be capable of understanding and imagining what a smartphone looked like just from a simple description in a letter. They also had to know the very concept of a password and Arabic numerals.
They should be from the Central Continent as well.
After all, even if the phones were turned off, they were still gradually losing their charge. I needed them to get close to the heroes and find out their passwords within the shortest time possible while, under the pretext of training, they were locked in Alexs house.
If so, then they had to be sociable too.
Arent you demanding too many requirements? Ssosia looked at the situation pessimistically, but I didnt.
I had about 100 years of experience as a hero.
During that time, I made a lot of connections. Most of them had unpleasant personalities like Lanuvel, but not all.
Saintess A and Tomato are perfect.
Hmm? Tomato? Since when did you start using your vegetables as yourpanions?
How could she say that! He wasnt a vegetable! I couldnt believe shed make fun of the name his parents gave him after they thought so hard about it!
The most powerful hero of the Holy Kingdom and the head of the Holy Knights.
He also had good looks and a friendly rtionship with Saintess A.
His only w was his name!
? Confusion: He isnt a tomato, cadet Kang Han Soo. Hes Thomas. In the Holy Kingdom, he is also called the Knight of Light.
Was that so? Apparently, with all the changes that happened to the curriculum, even his name changed.
Ha Apparently so, cowardly husband.
I, the MAX-ss Demon Lord, corrected all of my ns and focused solely on gathering the passwords I needed.
It didntst long, however.
Demon Lord Parmamon! ept your death by my sword that contains the hope of all mankind!
One of my copies was attacked.
Transferring my mind to the clone in question, I responded to the instigations of a girl surrounded by handsome men:
Wee, Hero with a narrow pelvis.
She was the first guest to show up in the past ten days after I inherited the family business from my father-inw. She came early in the morning, too.
Chapter 269 - [16th Round] Don’t Save My Life
Chapter 269 - [16th Round] Dont Save My Life
Ha?!
Not knowing how to respond to the MAX-ss Demon Lords greeting, the Female Hero stepped back.
She lowered her gaze to her exposed navel, and her face immediately flushed as she screamed like a child.
Whats wrong with my pelvis?!
Hero! This arrogance is unwarranted! How can you proudly disy such a pitiful sight?
Hic!
Unable to refute my words, she hid behind the broad back of the handsome man standing next to her.
However, the most important virtue of a hero was bravery!
I was looking forward to this moment since she was the first guest to visit me, and she did so just ten days after the start of her journey. Unfortunately, it seemed I had set my expectations too high.
? Race: Human
? Level: 185
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Attraction Z, Sword Mastery Z, Charm Z, Strength E Dexterity E
? Status: Humiliated, Magic Sword
The reason she was able to get here in such a short time was well expressed in her stats.
Her Z-rank Attraction and Charm skills.
With those skills, all she had to do to raise an army was approach powerful male mercenaries and tell them, Please help me.
But that didnt mean that I looked down on her.
Only ten days had passed since the 5th curriculum began.
It didnt matter if they were in primary, secondary, or tertiary education courses. Most of them were still wandering around like Sieg, unable to immediately adapt to the greatly changed curriculum.
Compared to them, she progressed far faster. Regardless of her means and methods, it couldnt be denied that she won first ce.
Having Z-rank Sword Mastery was no joke, either.
In my 1st round, I had no Z-rank skills. Based on that alone, I could already deduce she was well-versed inbat.
She was a hero that couldnt be ignored despite her narrow pelvis.
Unsurprisingly, my prediction wasnt wrong.
? Type: Report Card
? Name: Reina
? Combat Strength: S
? Achievements: B
? Reputation: E-
? Personality: B
Her grades were pretty good.
She could have graduated immediately or transferred to a secondary education course if not for her reputation, which was graded E-.
Hero, your reputation is as insignificant as your pelvis.
How do you know?!
I couldnt tell her I was looking at her report card even though I already knew why she had a low reputation.
? Type: Personal file
? Name: Reina
? Alignment: True neutral
? Main quality: Beauty
? Experience: 275 years
? Record: 6
? Overall rating: Skillfully uses her innate talents and appearance. Taught by her father, her fencing skills had already reached high levels at a young age. However, she has a tendency to take away other peoples men that she liked, which is the reason behind her poor reputation. Until the strange student appeared, she received the most attention.
In the past, I also received attention.
My sympathy for her slightly increased.
Pedonar was not like that
It hadnt been long since I took over as Demon Lord, but she was alreadyparing me to my father-inw.
My slightly increased favor of her dropped again.
You need to be on your guard. The Demon Lords mental attack is dangerous! Said one of the handsome men, pulling a sword from his belt and ring at me.
Among thepanions who followed the Hero, he was the man with the most solid armor and the most handsome face. He had broad shoulders and impressive muscles, which made a good impression.
I estimated his age to be a little over twenty years old.
Hey. He looked more like a Hero!
Out of habit, I first checked his stats.
Externally, I was calm, but deep down, I knew my body was fragile. I was just controlling a clone of mine, after all.
Hence, I needed to assess the strength of the enemy beforehand Hmm?
? Race: Chaos Human
? Level: 653
? Job: Brave (Everyone = Level 1)
? Skills: Swift de S, Chaos S, Duel A, Destruction A, Vitality A
? Status: Arrogant, Prideful
An unusual race.
Chaos.
Some of my seniorspanions shared such a race.
The power of Chaos, capable of withstanding the system and interfering with skills, came from him, and I had benefited from it as well.
Who was this man?
Judging by his job, there could only be one conclusion.
Nothing else crossed my mind.
You are a descendant of the Fake Hero.
The First Heros younger self definitely fell by my hands.
There was no fierce battle. He rested peacefully with the dragons that impersonated humans and elves.
That only made the individuals existence in front of me even more unexinable, though.
He had Brave, my cruel seniors unique job.
Unless he reincarnated, then him being his descendant was the only remaining exnation.
Hes not fake!
Youre not like him at all.
My senior, of course, was uglier than me, whom the inhabitants of Fantasy found the cutest, but he was still a little more handsome than his sessor.
I supposed I could call him Descendant A.
If the First Hero diligently spread his genes before dying, then Descendant B and Descendant C probably also existed somewhere on the continents of Fantasy.
And there should be quite a few of them, too.
If they inherited his omnivorousness, which allowed him to copte with any beautiful woman regardless of their race, then they had probably already expanded their bloodline quite well.
I will make you pay for that insult right here and now!
TSSSS!
After his statement, he activated Brave.
The levels of everyone around him dropped to 1.
It had a fatal w, however. Even the caster themselves fell under its effect. However, it didnt matter if theyre outnumbered and confident in their natural talents.
I took a look at the stats of the copy I was managing.
? Race: United Spirit of Fantasy
? Level: 1
? Job: Demon Lord (Hero Level )
? Skills: Dark Energy (Z)
? Status: Demon Sword
The moment I was resurrected as the Demon Lord, the final boss, my clones already had their levels set at 999. Thanks to the sponsorship of the universe, a racial trait of the USF that my duplicates also replicated from my real body, just breathing was enough for them to gain experience.
Now, however, the level of the copy I currently controlled had dropped to 1.
Naturally, I felt my body lose most of its energy.
Hero! If you attack now, youll easily defeat the Demon Lord!
Yes! Grant me your power!
Frightened and hiding behind the handsome mans back just a second ago, the Female Hero decided to demonstrate the sneaky power of love.
Keep it up!
Forward!
Yes!
Her otherpanions had skills far from the Female Hero and Descendant A. They were all on the level of an average mercenary, probably because she recruited them based on looks rather than skill.
Without first collecting any information, that was the limit of the power she could gain from the Dumpling Kingdom.
However, there was a reason they managed to break through Grand Duke B.
Although she was my first guest, she was the hundredth in the order of the Demon Lords invasion of the castle.
Those who came before her were all defeated by Grand Duke B before they could even open the doors to my throne room, resulting in their immediate death or retreat.
Grand Duke B served as an excellent filter.
With Brave among the enemies ranks, though, the narrative changed.
Even for my father-inw, such a drop in level was fatal, not to mention ordinary demons.
In addition, Grand Duke B fought alone.
The Heros dastardlypanions attacked him with the cowardly force of friendship, like hooligans in an alleyway.
Fighting against Brave was dangerous.
However
SLAP!
I lightly brushed off the back of my hand, and the head of the handsome man, who was the first to attack, exploded like a watermelon.
Huh?
What?
How The Hero and his good-lookingpanions energetically rushing towards me immediately slowed down, their shock evident in their expressions.
Whats with the face? Never seen a Demon Lord kill a person before?
I was disappointed! They were treating me like a herbivore!
Normally, I was an empathetic creature that loved flush toilets and respected Master Mon, but I was also Demon Lord Parmamon, who happened to be the apex predator.
Brave! The Demon Lords Power
Hes definitely Level 1!
Then what was that?!
I dont know.
Descendant A and The Female Hero had a briefing amid the battle, regardless of whether I heard or not.
Uneducated pigs
I had to teach them a lesson.
Although I became the Demon Lord because of my father-inw, my righteous heart didnt change.
My sweetness and body were missing, but my soul and will were still intact.
As if to prove my point, the wings of the righteous hero proudly unfurled behind me.
FSHUKH!
H-hic?!
Ah!
God
Stunned by the greatness of my wings, they took the time to express their awe, not realizing that they were in a critical situation.
They had to pay the price of their negligence.
FSHUK! FSHUK! FSHUK! FSHUK!
Demon Lords Justice!
Those who encroached on my life deserved to die as many times as there were capiries in the human body, but that would be too rude to my very first guest.
I will spare your life.
Oh! I was not fit to be the Demon Lord!
I couldnt let go of the MAX-ss Heros righteous soul that was within me. I should be removed from office
FSHUK!
One of the sharp thorns protruding from the wings of the righteous hero lightly pricked another handsome man in the eye.
Fragments of his beautiful eyeball sttered along with his blood!
He still had one more left, so such a wound shouldnt interfere with his future.
Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!
Excellent. You used to look like amon bully, but now you look like a real mercenary whos fought wars. Girls like that.
I pushed the guy I turned into an actual warrior through stic surgery and moved on to my next target.
H-hik?! Have mercy Huh?!
Do not worry.
The Demon Lord was merciful!
I hit his beautiful jaw lightly.
I removed his teeth that interfered with kissing women. I left his mrs intact, though, so he wouldnt be limited to only eating porridge.
What more mercy did they need?
You are a vile demon
Well, yes. I am.
Didnt they know?
My father-inw didnt give me his job so that I could y the role of a clown.
I looked at another handsome man.
Bang!
Why did he copse and lose consciousness?
Did he just break into someone elses house to take a little rest?
Gosh. So rude.
CRUNCH!
I stepped on the ankles of the copsed brute so that he could never stand again.
Even a good-natured Demon Lord like me had a limit. When visiting, guests should behave ordingly.
So, whos next?
N-no!
We cant win this!
Hes too strong!
The mercenaries immediately betrayed love and friendship. There was even a dog among them who decided to mark his territory by relieving himself on the floor of someone elses house.
Horrible
Ugh But I will still spare you.
I was probably the most pathetic Demon Lord in the universe.
***
From the moment Descendant A activated Brave, the entire battlested only a couple of minutes.
I was dyed so much because I was interviewing them.
As expected, the position of Demon Lord didnt suit me.
Sorry, Hero!
We have no choice!
Aaaahhhhh!!!
Hero Im sorry
Following themand they received from me, the handsome mercenaries kicked the fallen Female Hero.
Her clothes were ripped and covered in blood due to the one-sided violence of herpanions.
But that was okay.
Her precious life was safe. No one besieged the gates of her castle, and I promised to let her go.
You are a foolish hero who only appreciates external beauty. The power of love and friendship is like a spine, you see. Even a small offset on it results in dire consequences!. Make sure you carve the pain youre feeling right now in your pelvis. Only then can you be stronger. I give you that advice not as the Demon Lord but as your senior.
Now she could understand how insignificant love and friendship were.
However, the Female Hero, whose expression was devoid of life, didnt even respond.
She might be angry now, but she would one day thank me.
At least Descendant A, who seemed like a real hero, replied to me.
I swear allegiance to Demon Lord Parmamon, the demon of despair, the destroyer of hearts and humans
He was reborn as the Demon Brave, filling the void left by Grand Duke B, who was killed by the vile power of love.
Oh! Finally, a reply from mother!
I stared at the screen of the Heros beautifully decorated smartphone.
I hastily went to check what my mom said.
Chapter 270 - [16th Round] Karma
Chapter 270 - [16th Round] Karma
Mother: Why are you sending me messages instead of going home? (9:36)
Well
Mother: Youre making me very upset. You contacted me for the first time in ten years, transmitting messages only through a ssmate and daughter-inw (9:37)
Mother: Dont even try scolding my daughter-inw. We wouldnt be having this conversation if she didnt calm me down. (9:37)
Oh yes. Mom was clearly upset.
But who the hell was this daughter-inw?
Mother: Come home soon. (9:38)
Mother: My daughter-inw is very capable. If you give your name at any airport on the, a private jet will arrive and pick you up within two hours. If you donte straight home and start fooling around again, I really will start getting angry ^^ (10:15)
She didnt say who the person trying to pretend to be my wife was but instead continued to praise her. The fraud was definitely smart, considering she managed to fool the most dangerous mother in the universe.
Mother! Open your eyes!
Mother: I love you. You bettere back now! (10:17)
Theres been a mistake
Logically speaking, there should be no connection with Earth from Fantasys dimension.
Hence, when I sent her a message via messenger, she assumed I was already on Earth when in fact, I was still locked in the Fantasy dimension.
I didnt even know when Id be able to return.
Havent you guessed whos iming to be your mothers daughter-inw yet, cowardly husband?
Thats impossible to do right now.
I was just an ordinary high school student. I had never met a girl in my life who had a private jet, let alone had a rtionship with.
I decided to reply.
Son: I am still trapped in the Fantasy World. (16:01)
Son: You believe me, dont you? (16:01)
Son: Ill even take a photo for you to see for yourself. (16:01)
I looked around.
What could confirm that I was in an entirely different dimension?
Ah!
Hey! Get yourself together. I want to take a group photo.
I gathered ignorant savages who didnt know what a camera was.
Female Hero, Descendant A, Handsome A, Handsome B, Handsome C, Handsome D
She might mistake this for cosy, but nobody could imitate the details of these peoples missing limbs.
She would definitely believe me!
How can a Demon Lord use a smartphone? the Female Hero expressed her surprise, who stood with the help of two guys supporting her sides.
I told you. I was also a hero.
Ah
Ignoring her as she finally understood the true nature of the new Demon Lord, I turned to the group of handsome men who stood with stupid expressions.
Now,ugh as naturally as possible. If anyone wishes to refuse, let it be known so I can peel off your skin!
Hahaha
Hahahaha!!!
Aaaahhhh!
I didnt like the results, but there was no time for practice since the smartphone was almost out of charge.
Hey, move over.
Ugh! Good.
I pushed aside the handsome man supporting the Female Hero and stood next to her, like the main character.
I then demonstrated the smile of the righteous hero, inspiring peace and pacification.
Dear Mom! Your son is having a good time with the local savages!
Come here.
I wanted to take a photo with my cowardly wife, but she refused, saying she hadnt prepared yet.
It was just a photo. Why would she need to prepare?
I really couldnt understand her logic.
CLICK!
***
I wanted to talk to her through a call, but the signal was so weak that even sending a photo took about 10 minutes.
Messages were my limit.
Theres nothing you can do
To make matters worse, while I was waiting for a response from my mother, the smartphone died out.
I immediately escorted everyone out of the Demon Lords castle to make sure they could safely leave my territory.
However, bad luck immediately fell upon them!
Fshshshsh!
The Female Hero fell from the drawbridge due to a strong gust of wind.
Ugh?! What is this
Her poor pelvis staggered, causing her to twist her leg. Losing her bnce, she fell into a deep ditch that ran along either side of the drawbridge.
CRACK!
Shended head first.
Such a pity. To think I even corrected the discement between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, only to have her fall and break her neck
The world began its slow copse.
And the smartphones battery was once again charged!
FLASH!
The Female Hero, equipped with a clumsy pelvis, managed to regress safely after bing the first of her ss to ever challenge the MAX-ss Demon Lord.
And it all started again with a greeting from forever pretending to be sweet Lanuvel.
Wee, Miss Hero!
There was only one reason why I decided to watch her.
Descendant A.
In the 4th curriculum, my dark senior didnt have any descendants who inherited his unique abilities. That was why I wanted to know where and how she met him.
However, unusual changes had urred.
A skill appeared that wasnt in the 4th and, until recently, 5th curriculums.
? Race: Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Hero (Exp 500%)
? Skills: Attraction Z, Sword Mastery Z, Charm Z, Interpretation A, Karma F
? Status: Confused
Karma.
Even after returning, her transcendental skills remained. In addition, She was always provided with Interpretation A to allowmunication with the natives of Fantasy.
The rest of her skills needed to be improved from the very beginning.
What is it?
Even the Female Hero herself couldnt understand what just happened.
That was how serious the effect of her skill was.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Karma
? Rank: F
? E: Your fame decreases after each regression.
? F: Every time you regress, your reputation goes down.
It was a skill that worsened the position of the Hero after each return.
Previously, if they werent satisfied with the development of events, they could just get killed on purpose and start from scratch, but everything had changed now.
They wont be able to treat their lives so carelessly like theyre characters in an RPG game anymore. From now on, the more deaths they suffer from, the more difficult their journey will be.
The cowardly demoness smiled after defining Karma.
So these are the changes you made You are really cruel.
I dont want to hear that from my cowardly husband. This skill will help heroes grow. Now that theyre afraid of death, theyll begin to think about their actions more thoroughly.
This is overkill!
It was hard for me to make this decision, but this is for the heroes.
If they dont die, I wont be able to charge the smartphones battery!
What? Am I wrong?
If the heroes stopped regressing, my entire system would go downhill.
This was an extremely dire situation.
If thats what worries you the most, then Im afraid you have a serious mental problem
Love for ones parents is more important, you cowardly demoness!
Even during our skirmish, the Heros adventures continued.
For the past 2,000 years, the continents of Fantasy have been at peace under the protection of flush toilets, Hero. However, the recent resurrection of the Demon Lord is endangering this world. God-Chosen Hero, Defeat the Demon Lord! Said the Dumpling King, having arrogantly examined her from head to toe.
As you wish, Your Majesty! Said the Female Hero, swinging her pelvis.
Now get out of my sight.
What?
Unless you have more things to say, I have other important things to do.
Well I would love to have support
Haha! Thats funny! Our Hero certainly knows how to joke around.
Youre right, Your Majesty! Support for the Legendary Hero? That is indeed an original joke! Hahaha!
Laughter echoed from the nobles throughout the throne room.
The Female Heros expression darkened as she tried to harness the power of her transcendent skills Attraction and Charm.
They would have worked on them in her past ythrough.
However, it now failed due to Karma F.
Hey, cowardly wife, is it just me, or did the effects of an F-rank skill just trample the effects of Z-rank skills?
Thats just you.
Im pretty sure its not.
? Perplexity: After the emergence of this skill, senior colleagues also began a discussion. Some think this is too harsh a punishment, while others think its only fair. I dont know what conclusion they wille to, but students whove experienced the new regression process will soon receive an official letter from the teaching staff.
Thank you for letting me know, beautiful Trainee Teacher!
Regardless of their decision, it could no longer be undone or changed.
It was done by a system developer outside their control, after all.
Hey cowardly wife, cant we escape by manipting the system as you did now?
No.
Are you sure?
Yes, I am. The Fantasy World is made of Divinity and Dark Energy. The maximum I can control is 49%. However, about 17% of it cant be freely disposed of since theyre influenced by Divinity. The same applies to my aunt, whos being thwarted by Dark Energy.
Cowardly Ssosia had 32%.
Evil Parmamon has 32%.
34% were frozen to maintain bnce.
However, even if we added everything up, it wouldnt reach 100%.
Where was the missing 2%?
Thats the students and faculty members share. If you, my cowardly husband, want to get out, you must first gather their support and gain more control than my aunt has. We would no longer be escaping once youve done that, though. After all, the rights over the world of Fantasy would pass to you.
Ah! Youre right!
Because of smartphones, Ipletely forgot.
I had to win the heroes to my side, but my love for my parents was so strong that I forgot about everything else.
From now on, I needed to focus my attention on this matter again.
I checked what our D-rank Female Hero was currently doing.
Stupid Karma
She spent the night in a shabby bedroom provided by the Dumpling Kingdom.
It even looked worse than what they gave the heroes in their first round.
Sheined all night, tossing and turning on the shabby bed, which creaked even if all she was doing was breathing.
She wasnt the only one experiencing such a detrimental predicament, either.
The other heroes, who decided to restart their rounds, suffered from an even worse situation than her.
After being summoned, they waited in the hallway for six hours before they could meet the Dumpling King.
Its not so bad.
Anyone would be disappointed by how they were treated. Hence, it would be easier for me to lure them over to my faction.
Are you going to lie in bed all day now, my cowardly husband?
No.
I wasnt just going to sit around doing nothing.
As I pondered about how I could ovee the difficulty that had arisen, an amazing idea came to mind.
Was I not a genius?
I sent a message to my mother immediately.
Son: My dear and beloved mother, please send me blueprints for a smartphone charger. And a small generator too if you can. (20:55)
However, I still felt as if there was still something missing. Figuring out what it was, I asked for another blueprint.
Son: Can I also have a blueprint for a bidet? (20:56)
Why a bidet?
A toilet without a bidet function was like an angel without wings.
Chapter 271 - [16th Round] Bidet Master
Chapter 271 - [16th Round] Bidet Master
Mother: Have you by any chance gone insane? (7:32)
Hmm
I already told her I was fine and even sent her photos to go along with it, yet she was still asking me such questions.
At least she still sent the blueprints.
They were quite detailed, too.
Take, for example, aputer case, which contained the motherboard, hard drive, processor, ram sticks, video card, and so on.
The general guide would simply show the owner how to set it all up.
However, the manual I got included the production methods of itsponents.
I know a little about life on your, but is it that easy to get such detailed blueprints?
No.
What I requested werent state secrets, albeit they werent readily avable to the general public either.
However, my mother still found and sent them.
Charger, generator, bidet.
Judging from her response time, it didnt take long for her to collect the data I needed. She even sent blueprints for several types of generators!
I wasntining, but it was suspicious. Her reply to my request turned out to be even better than I thought.
No wonder your mother keeps praising her daughter-inw. I think she did her best, said Ssosia while lying next to me and looking at my smartphones screen.
How do you know its her?
Female intuition.
The most unreliable variable in the universe!
m!
Using the Vault skill, I summoned high-quality paper from the angels treasury and copied the blueprints.
Writing materials werent even necessary.
Bzzzzzz!
Fantasy skills and resources made the copies look like they were printed through a printer.
They wont disappear even if I undergo regression.
I used paper from the Festival of Heroes.
That dimension was independent of the Fantasy World. Hence, items originating from it remained even after the Hero died and was resurrected.
I had to change my smartphone 43 times since their batteries constantly ran out of charge, but the result was worth it.
Should we go to the dwarves now, my merciless hubby?
Dwarves were indeed master craftsmen.
With detailed blueprints and the necessary materials provided, they could create anything. However
I, the MAX-ss Demon Lord, am not the same as the vile dragons who treat dwarves like ves.
Dragons had been suppressing the dwarves and forcing them to create whatever they desired by threatening them with their superiorbat power. I didnt n on doing the same.
What now, then?
I have a better idea.
I spread the wings of the righteous hero.
***
The Demon Lord is here!
The Demon Lord is attacking!
God have mercy upon us!
I had arrived at the city of El Mndo in the northern part of the Central Continent.
Not the homnd of the great Master Mon, but a city floating in the sky that served as the evil angels natural habitat.
Angels were theplete opposite of demons existences. They werent included in the primary education course, while demons were seen as absolute evil. Likewise, El Mndo, the city of angels, didnt exist either.
However, thatpletely changed in the secondary education course, which allowed heroes to personally assess the concept of good and evil byparing demons to the angels that appeared in the curriculum.
It was nonsensical, though.
These hens were mean and disingenuous.
There was no need to think too hard about it.
Demon Lord Parmamon, refrain from reckless behavior and leave this ce right this instant. You have no business being here.
An angel, dressed in a thin white cloth with a ck blindfold covering her eyes, pointed the tip of her sword at me as she threatened me, her voice sounding audacious and defiant.
? Race: Battle Angel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Executioner (Faith Retribution )
? Skills: Faith ZZ, Divinity ZZ, Justice Z, Flight Z, Regeneration Z
? Status: Prayer, Blessing, Empowerment, Protection
Her powerful stats reinforced her audacity.
Considering the strength of my counterparts in the secondary education course, I could safely say that one or two of their kind would be enough to rid the world of the Demon Lord. They wouldnt even need the Heros help.
There were far more than just one or two of them, after all.
For divine dignity!
For divine honor!
For divine courage!
Men and women, d in the same white cloth as the Battle Angel, gathered behind her, demonstrating the power of love and friendship.
I counted at least a hundred chicken heads.
Their overallbat ability was a stark contrast to the Demon Lords army, in which only Grand Duke B stood out.
Is Director Parmamon even in her right mind?
The difference in power was too great.
My copies waiting back in the castle would simply evaporate the moment they fired their rays at them.
Where was the logic in this at all?
Her name is Parmael. Youre Parmamon Ssosia said, hovering nearby in the air with the help of her violet ethereal wings.
Tsk! The simrities of our names confuse me.
Its your fault.
Whose side are you even on, my cowardly wife?
This isnt even about taking sides. Youre just objectively at fault here.
Noticing that I ignored their warning, the angels immediately unfurled their white wings and enveloped their unprotected bodies with Divinity. Not long after, they rushed at me like eagles swooping in to pierce through their prey as pure white light covered their weapons.
Admittedly, they were powerful.
In the past, only the Phantom King Shakespeare managed to surprise me, which he did by reviving the First Heros Party, but there werent many real fighters there.
However, all the chickens before me were warriors.
Who were they anyway?
? Description: Theyre executioners. Their eyes are covered with a ck cloth, symbolizing that they have be evil to punish evil, and they remain blindfolded until the day they die. Since Divinity is deceptive and multifaceted, angels tend to bezy and arrogant, but the executioners are different. They train for eight hours every day.
Eight hours every day! That amount was believable and realistic. I wouldnt have believed it if I were told they trained all day.
By the time Trainee Teacher finished her exnation, the angels were already right before me.
Since I was in the secondary education course, my copy had ZZ-rank Dark Energy. But in front of me was a whole crowd of ZZ-ranked Divinity chickens.
If I fought with my skills alone, my defeat wouldve been inevitable!
It was no wonder my father-inw never left the castle.
CLICK!
But that was only true in his era. Having learned the secret of controlling dark matter in exchange for having to put up with his cowardly daughter, I could demonstrate powers that went beyond skill.
It was all thanks to my mentor, Grand Master Mon.
My power was absolute and couldnt be expressed through mere numbers.
Aaaaaghhhh!!!
Huh?!
As soon as I snapped my fingers, dark matter vibrated, causing a slight resonance.
The angels immediately fell.
Divine reflection?
This wasnt an attack.
Although I distorted space itself, it was nothing more than a side effect caused by manipting and controlling dark matter.
Everything in our world was in space, like a drawing on paper.
Divinity could defend against attacks aimed at the drawing within this paper, but what about attacks from the table on which the paper was ced?
If the table surface were uneven, the image would be distorted, regardless of how high the papers quality was.
Dark matter was the table.
Underneath the paper hid a world farrger with a much heavier role.
I dont like the fact that my father-inw shoved his cowardly daughter on me, but thepensation I got in exchange is quite useful.
I gained the technique the Demon Lord Pedonar had been studying throughout his seemingly eternal imprisonment.
My fathers special technique is some kind of fraud.
All thanks to Master Mon!
I had perfected it.
Power, range, cast time, cooldown
In all respects, my version had surpassed the original.
Mon-Mon~
No need to humbly sway, pretending not to know anything about this, Master Mon.
His facade could easily fool stupid fantasy savages, but it wouldnt work on his own apprentice.
Um I think your mom was right in hinting that youve gone insane
I am perfectly fine.
What happened to the impudent chickens who tried to punish me?
Fuk!
Bam!
Knock! Knock!
p!
They fell one after another, their feathers fluttering all over the ce.
Some of the angels were able to survive and recuperate through regeneration, but those whose hearts or brains were crushed died instantly, giving them no chance of recovery.
But that was okay.
We shall be one~ be my EXP~?
Those who turned into my experience points would stay with me forever.
Where did he get such a power?
Impossible
This cant be
The surviving hens, running away from me, uttered phrases as if they found my dominance far too strange.
Hence, I decided to remind them of my existence.
I am the Demon Lord.
I was the final boss who awaited the Hero at the end of their journey.
It was only natural for me to be powerful beyondprehension.
There was no point in asking the Demon Lord, Why are you so strong?
You are destined to fall at the hands of the Hero!
Judgment day will one day fall upon your unfortunate soul!
The Demon Lord is not destined to win!
Brothers and sisters! Destiny is on our side!
Forward! Victory will be ours!
The angels regrouped and charged again.
Those who believed in such superstitions had but one fate awaiting them.
CLICK.
We would be one.
***
Greetings, beautiful, strong-spined angel. I imagined the best cksmith in El Mndo to be a shaggy, bearded middle-aged man. I wasnt expecting that title to belong to such a beautifuldy.
Hmph! Dastardly demon, did youe here to have me shove your ugly face in the smelter?
Hahaha!
The chicken before me was as cocky as she was beautiful.
I thought shed be able to do the job.
Look behind you, cowardly husband. You do know youve caused quite the massacre on your way to this forge?
What are you talking about?
Such atrocities weremitted only by the Herospanions, who liked to make strange bets like making whoever got the least kills to pay for dinner.
Unlike them, I, akin to a river stream, went around obstacles as I chased after my goal.
Call it what you want, but you shouldnt expect cooperation from her.
Hmph! At least the Demon Lords wife understands the situation. I will never cooperate with the very being who killed my people! The only thing Im willing to hit this hammer with for you is your skull!
I cocked my head to one side.
It was self-defense. I came to ce an order at the forge, and the wild angels attacked me first.
Hmph! Thats the kind of logic you can only show off in front of a slime!
Did she just look down on slimes? Slimes were an iparably good-natured racepared to the evil angels.
Please talk some sense into this angel, Master Mon!
Mon? Mon!
She had best heard him. Whenever Master Mon spoke, it was best not to get distracted.
Stop your pathetic attempts already, you despicable Demon Lord. I will never ept your ordermmm?!
I covered the beautiful angels lips with mine.
I didnt just find her externally morous.
I liked her strong lumbar spine. She was a master of her field, making it foolish to get rid of her.
Squelch!
Mmm?!
I sucked the cksmith angels Divinity out of her, then pushed Dark Energy down her throat slowly, ensuring she wouldnt choke.
Henceforth, I appointed her as the bidet master.
Chapter 272 - [16th Round] Service Creed
Chapter 272 - [16th Round] Service Creed
Command me, Demon Lord, and I shall follow them. Replied the cksmith angel, tainted by my Dark Energy.
I had reced the Divinity I extracted from her with Dark Energy, but it would only slightly prolong her life.
After all, angels, in essence, were Spirits of Light.
The light constantly generated by an angels body suppressed Dark Energy from rising within them. However, if darkness infected them externally, they would enter an unstable state where they wouldnt be an angel fighting against darkness but would simply be rapidly dying beings.
But I wasnt interested in this cksmith angels future. I just needed her toplete my order.
Melt this weapon and use it as a material.
p!
I summoned the weapons of the angels and ced them in front of the cksmith.
I had no idea how great their armaments values and effectiveness were since I had never used them, but all that mattered to me was that they were created in the Festival of Heroes dimension.
As stated before, items made from that realms materials would never disappear even if I regressed.
That was why I decided to seek the help of angels.
They knew their weapons better.
This is a very well-made weapon
I have them avable in bulk.
The angels living in the Festival of Heroes dimension had provided me with ample materials.
Weapons, armor, arrows, jewelry, artwork The hands and wings of the righteous hero were much stronger than any of those, so I didnt use them.
If the Demon Lord so desires, I can get to work right now.
***
The cksmith angel who saw the blueprint recreated everything using Fantasy materials and Fantasy technology.
Eventually, a mini-generator and a charger were born, both ted with a metal that would never bend even under dragons weight yet still having a shape memory effectmonly used for sword des.
Brrrr
The generator and charger worked without problems.
They produced soft mechanical noises, but that was due to the sensitivity of my ears. Nobody else could hear it.
Excellent work!
But I didnt stop there. The mini-generator would constantly require fuel to operate, after all.
Coal, oil, timber, wind, or water energy
The type of fuel for the generator varied per blueprint.
However, I wanted to use one that was readily avable anywhere in the Fantasy World.
For example, Dark Energy?
If the Demon Lord wants, I can redesign andbine the devices, taking into ount your wishes.
Proceed.
This angel had a really strong spine.
Drug Demon Lord, Ive been bored since the day you started fiddling with this stupid box. Why not crawl out of my warm niece sometimes and hunt down heroes for a change of scenery?
Auntie! Im not a nket!
If youre bored, hunt them yourself.
There was onemon misconception among the natives of Fantasy.
They werent aware of the fact that this world was already on the brink of destruction even before the resurrected MAX-ss Demon Lord threatened it.
The First Spirit.
The Addicted Spirit, lying on my head all day, could erase the entirety of humanity in the Fantasy World with just onemand.
Even I wasnt capable of that.
I couldnt control all of my copies at the same time.
But the First Spirit, without even moving a finger, could just say, Children! Kill all humans!
And that would be the end of it.
In her hands was the nuclear missilesunch button.
Thats too simple and utterly uninteresting.
I dont think the Addicted Spirit that the elves caught and sealed in the sewers has the right to say so. Let me show you just how entertaining a smartphone can be.
Since I could now charge my smartphones battery, functions that I couldnt use until now had now be readily avable.
Anime, movies, TV shows, webcasts
I used to avoid essing sites with many images, but they wouldnt cause a problem now.
The signal remained weak, so everything was loading slowly, but with enough patience, one would be able to witness the entirety of the sites.
The only thing that wouldnt work was ying mobile games, though I wouldnt get bored even without them. After all, during the past ten years, a huge amount of anime, films, light novels, and mangas had umted for me to indulge myself with.
Im not interested in pictures.
Hmm. What about this one?
I showed her a photo.
Who are they, Drug Hero?
These are my parents and my brother.
Brother? This is the first time Im hearing you have a younger sibling. The bored Addicted Spirit showed interest for the first time in a long while.
Ssosia, whosep I used as a pillow, was no exception.
It wasnt a big secret, so there was no problem with me answering honestly.
He was born after I went missing. He should be around two years old by now.
He wasnt as cute as me because he took after my dad.
Hes so cute.
Hes like a little Demon Lord.
These women didnt understand babies!
I decided to ask someone elses opinion.
Father, did you call?
If I called forth Green Cake in his original form, which was already the size of Noebiuss hind leg, my castle would get crushed.
Therefore, he always appeared in the form of a boy.
Green hair, green eyes, green outfit His appearance alone shouted, Im a green dragon!
Come here and take a look at this photo. What do you think of my brother?
Is that my uncle?
Ah yes.
Although the difference in age and size was immense, the baby in the family photo was still technically his uncle.
Green Cakes eyes blinked several times before sharing his opinion.
Hes not cute.
Thats it! You inherited my eyes!
What?
Nothing. Im just very happy that at least in some way I resemble my father.
Rice Cakes expression, that said he was happy, seemed a little dark, but it was probably just me.
So thats what your father looks like. Here I thought hed look like some kind of terrible ogre. Ssosia sounded surprised.
I told you I have an ordinary father.
I didnt believe you. Your mother is a very beautiful woman.
But time isnt sparing her. There are more wrinkles on her forehead than when Ist saw her Ahem! No, well, in general, of course, she is still young and beautiful! Hahaha!
What was that about wrinkles?
I didnt say anything.
I was finally able to touch civilization again.
It was a shame the inte was slow, but it was better than beingpletely isted.
At least I could finally confirm that my parents were safe.
That was whats most important.
However, if there were light, there would be darkness.
Mother: You havent seen this before, have you? (9:25)
Mother: My sister-inw gave me this. (9:25)
My mom sent me a photo.
It was a smartphone with a white stic panel peeking out from under it.
Was it a new kind of smartphone?
I didnt think there was a need to buy a new product if the phone had a fully functioning call feature and it could properly connect and utilize the inte, but as a good son, I sincerely answered.
Son: Wow! It has a unique smartphone design. (11:54)
Son: I envy you very much. (11:54)
I wasnt really jealous, but I decided to please my mom with this message.
Mother: Hahaha! (20:15)
Mother: There is wireless charging these days. (20:16)
Mother: Just put your smartphone on top of the dock, and itll charge on its own. (20:17)
Mother: Son, are you a hillbilly now? (20:18)
Yes, in terms of technology, I fell behind.
Although the situation was tense when the First Heros army, the so-called aliens, invaded Earth, it caused the development of science and technology to elerate rather than slow down.
Even looking at the products on the inte sites, I saw a lot of strange items.
But they seemed strange only to me. For ordinary civilized people, they would be no different from ordinary household appliances.
It hurt my heart.
My mother poked on the sore spot of her only son
Only son? There are two of you.
Oh, exactly! Two!
I now had a younger brother who was born without my knowledge.
I couldnt envy my younger brother, who was still a toddler, but I urgently needed to return to Earth.
I put my smartphone aside.
So, are you jealous of your brother?
No.
Hmm.
Anyints?
No. I dont see anything wrong with my husband, who is constantly fiddling with his smartphone, trying to get out of the Fantasy dimension. But my absconding father worries me.
Hes doing well, Im sure.
Worrying about the test was a waste of time.
I knew this well because I was appointed the second Demon Lord, which gave me ess to an unlimited supply of Dark Energy.
The Demon Lord could never be defeated if he was vignt.
That was how absurd our position was.
Im not worried about my father exactly. Im worried about what he can and what hell do.
For as long as he doesnt go to Earth, I dont care what hes doing.
The universe was infinitely vast. The probability of my father-inw visiting Earth was almost zero.
Because of revenge, he can do a lot of things
I disagree.
Having defeated my lunatic senior, the goal of his revenge, my father-inw would immediatelye to save his greatest son-inw and cowardly daughter!
We just had to wait.
Its not as simple as you make it sound to be. Dad is no longer the Demon Lord. He doesnt have the same amount of Dark Energy anymore.
Hmmm?
Think about it. If it were so easy to appoint other Demon Lords just by announcing it, there would already be tens of thousands of them.
Ssosias remark made sense.
The moment he left the family business and his daughter to me and escaped from the Fantasy dimension, his job was no longer Demon Lord.
That aside
Im bored.
Since I put my smartphone down, I didnt have much to do.
The number of heroes recklessly rushing towards the Demon Lords castle with their pathetic hopes and dreams had greatly diminished.
The burden of the Karma skill greatly suppressed their fervor.
? Confirmation: Cadet Kang Han Soo is right. Because of Karma, the students can no longer act as recklessly as they used to. They have lost the spirit of adventurism and are trying to find safer methods around their problems. ording to thetest statistics, the rookies favorite mission has changed from Hunting Slimes to Finding the Girls Lost Cat.
Thanks for the exnation, Trainee Teacher!
It looked like many heroes were now wasting precious time and stamina looking for a feline that didnt even grant them experience points.
It took me ten years to sessfullyplete the 1st round. However, the situation was now quite different.
The vast territory of the Demon Lord had been reduced to this castle of mine, and Grand Duke B remained the onlybat unit I had capable of virtually anything. On top of it all, we were surrounded.
Humanity was in an incredibly advantageous position.
Wait Advantageous?
Beautiful and smart Trainee Teacher, I have a question!
? Curiosity: Ask away!
I am interested in the educational policy established by the teaching staff. I would like to know what the Oath of Heroes epasses.
? Determination: We are heroes of Fantasy, and we must: 1) Strive for love and friendship 2) Protect the inhabitants of Fantasy and stand guard for world peace. 3) Emerge victorious in the battle against evil. 4) Abide by thew and fulfill the requests of the weak. 5) By joining together, protect our dreams and hopes. Thats all.
I see Just listening to it made me dizzy.
To win the heroes over to my side, I need to turn their dreams and hopes into despair and their love and friendship into betrayal and hatred.
How did you evene up with that logic, diabolic husband?
Everything seems so simple now.
I would trample their vain hopes and dreams about defeating the just and kind MAX-ss Demon Lord.
They dreamed of returning to their hometowns of smog, have fun adventures, and build a harem.
What if their reality went downhill?
Theyll be forced to cling to the cowardly Demon Lord?
They wont have any other choice.
It will be difficult
Even if it is, I can handle it. I have to!
I had a good reason for this.
Mother: Do you know what this is? (19:35)
Son: It looks like a river tram. (3:41)
Mother: Its a car! And it can fly! (16:20)
Mother: Do you use wagons there, son? Hahaha! (16:22)
Failure was uneptable.
Chapter 273 - [Episode 16] This is the 5th Curriculum!
Chapter 273 - [Episode 16] This is the 5th Curriculum!
You look just like your mother.
Really? Back on Earth, I often heard I was very much like my father.
Well, a childs upbringing ys a big role in how they turn out as adults.
I grew up to be a wonderful son!
I admit it, yes.
How could we trample the heroes dreams and hopes?
The easiest way was to make Alex deal with the newly summoned heroes.
However, it wasnt the most optimal method. It only worked well the first time.
The heroes were by no means the smartest, but they werentplete fools either. They took lessons from their mistakes and applied them after each regression.
They knew that Alex would summon them and arrange brutal training, during which their personal belongings would be stolen.
Those who had experienced suffering wouldnt want to go through the same fate again. Hence, there would soon be individuals who would immediately escape from the royal pce or hide their personal belongings before undergoing strict training.
Eventually, smartphones would be more difficult to acquire.
What do you n to do?
Ill handle this myself.
We needed to conduct reconnaissance.
***
Primary, secondary, tertiary.
The higher the course, the stronger the inhabitants of Fantasy became. However, the trials the students had to go through didnt change much.
That was why after defeating Demon Lord A in the primary education course, they would still meet Demon Lord A in the secondary education course again.
The point being, for all heroes, Alex was an unforgiving monster.
Archaeologist Lanuvel would try to recruit him, but because of my intervention, she would always fail.
The concept was simple.
Knowing that the world would die in 10 seconds didnt mean one could stop its destruction.
Likewise, no matter how many times the heroes regressed, theyd never be able to change the future in which they couldnt recruit Alex.
Instead
Sir Hero! Why are you in such a hurry? Is someone chasing you?
You better run too, Lanuvel!
Ah! Is the Demon Lord hunting you down?!
No! Sylvia will show up soon under Alexsmand! Before that, we must quietly leave the pce!
They tried topletely avoid the scenario in which I ordered Alex to hold the heroes under the guise of training.
The same was true of this newly summoned hero, who lied about urgently needing to use the toilet to escape.
I decided to call him Hero E because of one of his skills.
? Race: Ultra Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Two-Handed Sword Mastery Z, Strength Z, Interpretation A, Karma E
? Status: Irritated
E-rank Karma.
That skills rank didnt increase right after each return, but I could deduce he had already died at least twice since it was released.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Karma
? Rank: E
? D: After each return, your favor decreases.
? E: After each return, your fame decreases.
? F: After each return, your reputation goes down.
Having died more than two times, he already realized that he had to escape from Alex before he was caught again.
After a hero was summoned, it took some time before my copies could write the letters and send them to the Sword God.
Are you going to keep an eye on him, cowardly husband?
Yeah. I need to know what all the other heroes he failed to capture will do.
Hero E and Lanuvel couldnt get far, though.
They had no money.
Staying in a hotel with a flush toilet and eating in a restaurant required money. The same went for consumables like restoration potions and equipment repairs.
Money was needed everywhere! Money! Money!
No local savages provided free support to the Hero who would save the world.
Even if they asked for just a handful of rice, they would get responses like, Id love to, but my daughter is getting married tomorrow
Hero E perfectly understood the importance of finances.
Hence, he headed to an aristocrats mansion. Judging from its manicured gardens and prominent sculptures, one could easily determine that a rather wealthy nobleman lived there.
I want to sell you this item.
Hero E, having met with the owner of the mansion, offered him his smartphone.
Hmm? This mirror is made of a very peculiar material. Did you say this is from your hometown?
Yes.
Excellent. Given its uniqueness
ZIN!
The nobleman held out a bag of money.
Huh? So little. There used to be more
Before?
Nothing. forget it.
Hero E left the noblemans mansion with a grim face.
Oblivious and unconcerned, Lanuvel praised him. Wow, Sir Hero! Thats amazing! You sold the items from your world to gather funds for our journey!
No. Its not really that great, Lanuvel
Why?
Well, heres the thing
Due to Karmas negative influence, his deals became far less sessfulpared to his previous rounds.
His problems didnt end there.
Hero, I cant give you this bastard sword for such a low price.
But I really need it.
Im afraid I cant help you. However, if you help me at the forge, I can lower the price for you. What do you say?
Uh No, forget it.
Feel free toe back if you change your mind.
The items prices increased as well, causing him to spend more money than before.
Natives of Fantasy didnt provide free food, clothing, shelter, and equipment just because the person they were conducting business with was a hero.
However, they could get discounts through their reputation.
I rarely used it, but Sieg and Luke got quite a few discounts wherever they went thanks to their reputation.
At the capital of the Dumpling Kingdom, the starting city, even if they hadnt yetplied with the requests that increased reputation, heroes could enjoy an average discount of 15% on most, if not all, stores and inns if Lanuvel, a local celebrity, introduced them as the Hero.
But Hero E didnt even have that.
His Karma had nullified that benefit.
Im going to go crazy.
Sir Hero! You cant!
Sighing, Hero E sold the school uniform and underwear he was wearing and bought a bastard sword.
Watching him stoop so low was hard, even for me. He had be so pitiful that the merchant even bypassed the system and provided him with a 5% discount and cheap clothes.
Where are we going, Sir Hero?
We need to look forpanions.
After selling all of his belongings from his home to get a bastard sword, which was useful for the early levels, he left the city and headed east.
The destination was obvious. The Holy Kingdom.
Saintess A, Knight Commander Tomato, Mermaid Princess Aqua.
That country was where heroes usually went from the Dumpling Kingdom since threepanions could be found there or near it.
However, Hero Es travel wasnt as smooth as he hoped.
The locals, whom he constantly met on the way, did nothing but find ways to use him of something.
I dont even have to do anything.
What do you mean, unattractive hubby?
If he regresses around ten times, I think hell give up all of his hopes and dreams on his own.
Wont he defeat the Demon Lord before that happens?
Your husbands the Demon Lord, Ssosia.
Really? Ssosia answered with a shrug.
Drug Demon Lord, you should look at my nieces current expression. The First Spirit smiled contentedly.
Stop interrupting us, auntie!
Heehee! Youre so cute~
Enough!
Since the Addicted Spirit spoke for the first time in such a long time, I thought there was no reason not to believe her.
My wife is such a shy woman!
Shut up!
While we were conversing among ourselves, Hero E focused on leveling up by clearing dungeons, ruins, tombs, and monster habitats while traveling to the Holy Kingdom.
Kuku?!
Oo-oo-oo-oo!
Trooug!
The reason why he tried so hard to acquire the bastard sword, even at the cost of his underwear, became evident inbat.
Until heroes received Holy Sword A, they had to use regr weapons. Low-quality weapons were easier to destroy or render useless. They were also quick to lose attack power.
A good weapon was of the utmost importance!
Of course, it would be difficult to cope with monsters with only just that one armament, but thanks to his transcendental skills, it became possible for him to hunt powerful entities even at level 1.
Level 1, Level 50, Level 200
Maximizing his jobs perk and his extensive knowledge of the future, he cleared dungeons swiftly, thus allowing him to be stronger just as fast.
His bastard sword, the de of which was already badly damaged, was soon reced by the sword he found while plundering the Heros Tomb.
Such was the power of social outcasts who have regressed!
He certainly picked the best travel course.
Oooh Lanuvel has nothing to do
Its okay. Your cuteness alone is doing wonders already.
Thank you, Sir Hero! But what about going a different route? From what I heard, this passage
There are many pitfalls along the way. I know.
Ooh I really have nothing to do
Even Lanuvels attempts to lure Hero E into the abyss of hell using her false sweetness didnt work on him.
Thanks to hispetence, their travel speed was quite fast.
This is too boring, Drug Demon Lord.
Its work, after all. Its bound to be boring.
We werent doing this for fun.
Most of the heroes who stumbled at the beginning of the journey and returned were now following the same course of actions as well.
Everyone went to the Holy Kingdom.
The reason was very simple.
Tank: Commander Tomato.
Healer: Saintess A.
Damage Dealer: Mermaid Princess Aqua
They could fill three main roles for their party at once. Getting them to join was pretty easy as well.
Upon persuading Aqua, the other two would automatically join the Hero.
Aqua Saintess A Tomato
Therefore, the MAX-ss Demon Lord decided to go to the Lake of Sorrowful Songs and prepare before Hero E could reach the ce.
***
Aqua wouldnt budge even if they recruited Saintess A as apanion, but if they got Aqua from theke, Saintess A would follow her unconditionally.
Tomato would unconditionally follow Saintess A as he swore to protect her. It wouldnt work in any other order.
In other words, the heroes should always recruit Aqua first.
Even if they didnt like the stupid fish, there was nothing they could do.
That used to be the case, at least.
The script has changed a lot
The Lake of Sorrowful Songs, where most of the freshwater mermaids of Fantasy lived, had been surrounded by the forces of the Holy Kingdom.
Moreover, all the soldiers that made up the army were women. There were no males at all.
I approached Soldier A, who decided to retreat into the bushes because the queue to the flush toilet in the camp was too long.
Sorry.
Kya?!
The surprised girl swayed and dyed her underwear yellow, but it wasnt my fault.
Ttssssss
She obviously had little training.
Sweet belligerentdy, for the sake of your spines well-being, it would be best to answer my questions quietly and honestly. If you dont want to talk, just spit at me or kick me, alright? Dont cause a ruckus. Anyway, whats the situation here right now?
You dont need to tremble like that. Im not some suspicious, hateful person.
I was the famed MAX-ss Demon Lord in the world of Fantasy. People shouldnt mistake me for some scoundrel.
I decided to calm her down with my Righteous Heros smile.
Hyii! Please grant me a painless death, at least
Uhhh
Why did she cry?
Step aside and erase that bloodthirsty smile of yours from your face, cowardly husband. Let me do the talking.
Ssosia hugged the girl and stroked her back.
Why was she treating a grown woman like a child? She needed to show more respect for adults
She replied to the Second Demon, though.
The Holy Kingdom is at war with the mermaids from thiske, who sold their souls to the Demon Lord 2,000 years ago. No, not only from thiske, all mermaids are enemies of humanity! I lost my boyfriend to the mermaids Eric Come back! Im sorry! I really am! I was wrong! Eric
There seemed to have been a strange turn of events.
Chapter 274 - [16th Round] “Ulluuu?”
Chapter 274 - [16th Round] Ulluuu?
Hmm It looks like my orders have remained in effect for the past 2,000 years.
Due to mymands, the mermaids hunted men more actively.
The result was as disyed by the scene before me.
The Holy Kingdom had erected tall watchtowers on the way from theke to the kingdom.
Stone walls were also built on the ins to prevent mermaids from entering the city.
But that didnt mean the Holy Kingdom dominated over the mermaids.
On the contrary, the mermaids had destroyed multiple fortresses and walls already, killing the female soldiers indiscriminately and taking no prisoners in the process.
At the same time, they recruited people to smuggle bachelors who dreamed of marrying a beautiful mermaid to theke.
This is a bigger problem than I thought, my psychopathic hubby.
Why?
I thought this was just thew of nature in action.
To not lose their boyfriend or husband to a mermaid, women needed to take extra care of both their external and internal beauty.
This was a race to survive.
I wouldnt call this a serious problem.
The mermaids probably already upy all the port cities.
The number of sea mermaids was iparable with the number of freshwater mermaids. In addition, sea mermaids had a much higher average level.
And yet the freshwater mermaids,gging behind in both quantity and quality, still managed to sessfully fight back against the Holy Kingdom, the secondrgest nation on the Central Continent, for 2,000 years.
I could now understand the situation.
My territory is huge!
My pride was initially hurt, as I thought there was only one castle left under my jurisdiction, but now, I realized all the seas andkes of Fantasy were mine!
And all the mermaids who lived there were part of my army!
Their numbers were higher than the entire human poption of this world.
I pondered deeply about it.
Just because I was the Demon Lord didnt mean I could only control demons and demon followers. That was made evident when Alex, a married man, became my henchman.
I had overlooked such an important fact.
Youre focusing on the wrong matter! Your territorys size isnt important right now. Humanitys facing an unprecedented crisis. There are too many mermaids, and theyre too aggressive.
So what?
They wouldnt have to worry about running out of sashimi and salted fish with so many mermaids.
I cant believe you managed toe up with the idea of using mermaids for food in this situation. This isnt the time for jokes, cowardly husband. Most of the Fantasy goods are delivered by ship, which sails on the seas and rivers. What do you think would happen to them with so many aggressive mermaids abound?
There will be more jobs avable for women.
Right. The supply of goods will be blockedHuh?
Ssosia blinked, looking dumbfounded and puzzled at the same time.
What? Am I wrong? Mermaids only attack women when there are men around them since they perceive them aspetitors. As with the troops of the Holy Kingdom, the merchants guild is probablyposed of nothing but women by now. Even the mercenaries guarding the ships are probably female.
Oh
The situation will turn out like him, otherwise.
I pointed my finger towards theke, where a naked, muscr warrior could be seen. Green algae covered only the most important part of his body.
Ssosias eyes widened in surprise.
Thomas,mander of the Holy Knights and considered the strongestbatant of the Holy Kingdom, sided with the mermaids?
Quite naturally so.
Several mermaids wriggled like mistresses around Tomato, who had betrayed Saintess A and humanity itself. The sight reminded me of the seafood market!
The stats of Tomato, who had collected himself a harem, was very impressive.
? Race: Water Man
? Level: 794
? Job: Pdin (Divinity = Blessing )
? Skills: Male Energy MAX, Endurance Z, Divinity A, Swimming A, Underwater Breathing B
? Status: Empowerment, Blessing, Enlightenment
Tomato was nothing against Alex, who lived as a married man for more than 2,000 years, but he wasnt weak either.
What education course were we in?
The strength of thepanions was much higher than in the 4th curriculum that I remembered.
I wonder how Sieg would handle himself here.
Sieg, who had Z-rank Male Strength, would have a slight advantage, but his skill would be useless if there were no women nearby to support him.
It wasnt just Tomato, either.
Return immediately to whence you came, female humans!
I love mermaids!
Do not deprive me of eternal happiness!
Leave us alone!
A multitude of men, fancying the half-fish women, took up arms and confronted the women to protect the mermaids and theke.
The environment was tense.
However, it didnt develop into a bloody war.
Come back!
Ill be better for you! I promise!
Darling! Do not be like that!
Think about us!
The women couldnt attack their boyfriends, who were taken away by their opponents. Hence, they tried to persuade them instead.
I didnt see any point in that.
Why are they wasting their time screaming? They just need to grab their necks between the 6th and 7th vertebrae and drag them home.
It looked absurd.
Cowardly husband, youre the only one being absurd here
Shut up and find Aqua. I cant see her anywhere.
There was no need to look for Saintess A.
She was at the forefront of the Holy Kingdoms army, criticizing Tomatos morals.
It was hard to listen to.
Was she trying to impose love and friendship?
Aqua isnt here. It looks like shes gone ind to hunt males instead of waiting for them toe to theke. Shes a mermaid, but she can actively roam ovend for a long time on rare asions.
Hmm I need to adjust my ns.
I wanted to stop Hero E from recruiting Aqua, but that was no longer necessary.
Even if he epted Aqua, a rapist running rampant somewhere in the Holy Kingdom, Saintess A and Tomato would no longer follow her into his party.
So why were the heroes still heading to the Holy Kingdom?
I would understand if they didnt know, but even one visit to the 5th curriculums Holy Kingdom was enough to understand its situation.
Yet the heroes still decided to head here.
I waited for Hero E to arrive in the Holy Kingdom to get answers.
***
The Hero has arrived! You no longer need to worry!
Lanuvel is also here!
Hero E and Lanuvel made it to theke.
However, the representatives of the Holy Kingdoms army didnt give them a warm wee due to their broken hearts.
Saintess A, who was supposed to follow the Hero ording to the prophecy, wasnt much different from them.
What are you going to do now?
I was really interested.
Hero E, seeing their behavior towards him, smiled bitterly.
Karma again
But he pulled himself together, regaining his confidence.
At the bottom of thiske is an ancient giant named Ullullu, but hes no enemy. He is the true ruler of theke, opposing the Demon Lord. However, he now slumbers due to the mermaids luby. If its interrupted, hell be able to swiftly bring this protracted confrontation to an end.
How can you confirm this? Asked Saintess A, the representative of the Holy Kingdoms army. After hearing his n, her expression was no longer as gloomy as before.
It was now full of hopes and dreams.
Aqua will serve as my proof.
The brutal rapist who turned many of the Holy Kingdoms heroes into weak-willed ves?
Spilling her blood into theke will awaken Ulluh from his deep slumber.
Well, it wouldnt hurt to try.
So this was how theyd be led to Aqua?
Hero E and Saintess A roamed all over the Holy Kingdom, trying to trap Aqua as she hunted males.
The bait was Hero E himself.
Rumors spread in the towns and viges where Aqua might have been hiding.
A remarkable hero has arrived in City A of the Holy Kingdom!
But it was too obvious for a trap! Only an idiot would fall for it.
The problem was Aqua was an idiot. When it came to mating with a man, she was no smarter than a goldfish.
Found it!
Aqua jumped into the trap without hesitation.
As soon as she found the Hero sitting naked on one of the hotel beds, she jumped off the roof of a nearby building and entered his room through the window like a cat thief.
Ah!
Heeheehee! Be quiet. Ill be gentle with you.
Aqua, dressed only in a blue dress without any underwear, immediately pounced on Hero E.
She dominated him in strength.
? Race: Mermaid
? Level: 847
? Job: Hero (Experience 200%)
? Skills: Spear Mastery ZZ, Lust Z, Stealth Z, Surprise Attack A, Versatility A
? Status: Excitement, Lust, Frenzy
She had no transcendental skills, but her level was much higher than Hero Es.
In addition, her beautiful body and face, paired with her silky smooth skin, drove men crazy.
Hero E couldnt resist.
Aqua abused the defenseless man over and over again.
1, 2, 10, 20, 50 times
Their battlested for two days, with Hero E emerging as the winner.
Great job, Hero!
You finally caught the rapist!
Thanks to you, there were no casualties.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude, Hero.
You have saved all the bachelors of the Holy Kingdom!
The female soldiers who grabbed Aqua praised Hero E.
By the time she realized it was a trap, she was already so exhausted that she couldnt move a finger anymore, let alone resist or escape.
Oh I lost Bound, Aqua sounded remorseful.
But she wasnt discouraged, all thanks to Hero Es Holy Sword, which didnt lose strength even after two consecutive days ofbat.
Aqua, Ill give you a chance. Be mypanion. Then I will not ask you for the sins you havemitted.
With joy, Hero!
She agreed as if there was nothing to think about in the first ce.
However, Saintess A didnt agree with this decision.
I cannot allow this, Hero. Do you know how many heroes we have lost because of this mermaid? How many tears were shed How much alcohol was drunk
I understand how you feel, Saintess, but I need her.
When Hero E got out of bed, the tip of his Holy Sword pointed right at Saintess A.
Ahem I am allowed to join the Hero in his journey out of principle. Hence, even though you havent passed the Holy Sword test yet, I will apany you anyway for the sole purpose of monitoring Aqua!
Wee, Saintess.
Hero E sessfully recruited Aqua and Saintess A.
Ssosia and I dumbfoundedly looked at each other.
And all thanks to his useless skill?
Perhaps its just that Sieg is a nerd who doesnt know how to properly use his Male Strength.
Maybe.
Male Strength, as an auxiliary skill, led to excellent results when recruiting femalepanions.
Sieg simply couldnt use it properly because he only had Sylvia in his head.
Hero Es squad had already begun to smell like a harem.
Lanuvel, Saintess A, Aqua.
Their beauty, of course, pleased the eyes of men, but it was the same set of women who made my 1st round difficult. Hence, I didnt envy him at all.
A bleak future awaited him!
Aqua, pour your blood into theke.
What? But then Ullullu
I know, but Ullullu is my ally. The blood of the Heros descendant will awaken this ancient creature.
How do you know?
I received this knowledge after reaching the brink of death three times!
That was a tant lie. He didnt reach any threshold but simply died three times, trying to reveal the secret of thiske.
If Ullullu wakes up, he will be furious.
You said you would be mypanion, right?
I just thought I should warn you. Heeheehee!
She acted the same way around me. Aqua could easily betray her people to satiate her lust.
Making a small incision on her arm, she let her blood drip onto the surface of theke. Not long after
Ulluuuuu!
A catfish-headed giant appeared above the surface of the water.
The mermaids raised a cry and jumped out of theke. However, the soldiers who were waiting outside theke with spears barred their escape routes.
Their situation became desperate but it didntst.
The power of love was stronger.
Ulluuuu?
? Race: Titan of Chaos
? Level: 1
? Job: Water King (Lake Blessing )
? Skills: Destruction ZZZ, Blessing ZZ, Fortitude Z, Chaos Z, Charge A
? Status: Irritation, Anger, Confusion
Ullullus level, who finally got his freedom, immediately dropped from 999 to 1.
Chapter 275 - [16th Round] In the name of Mollan!
Chapter 275 - [16th Round] In the name of Mon!
Ulluuuu?!
Ullullu, a giant of unprecedented size, tried to crush the mermaids like rats but eventually lost his bnce and fell into the water.
Pshshsh!
A huge wave immediately engulfed the mermaids and the humans on the shore of theke, causing the battlefield, where the two races had fought for 2,000 years, to be swept away by a flood.
Such was the greatness of Ullullu, King of the Lake.
However, he never got up.
Attack him! A man shouted as he climbed onto Ullullus head.
And, firmly grasping the sword in his hand, he pierced the giants eye.
SHOOK!
Ulluuuu?!
With a scream that sounded like thunder, the giant began iling his arms and legs in all directions. However, his strength had abandoned his movements.
It was all because of his level being reduced to 1.
Of course, everyone immediately noticed the change.
Ullullu has been weakened!
He is!
Attack!
Encouraged and regaining their momentum, the mermaids grabbed spears and swords made of fish bones and began stabbing Ullullus body.
As individuals, they were weak against him, but together, they swiftly turned the giants body into a needle pillow.
Total domination!
There were too many fish for him to handle alone.
U-llu lluu
At level 1, one would need to forget about skills and fight using only their own capabilities.
In that regard, Ullullu was stronger than mermaids in every way.
Weight, strength, endurance,bat senses
However, the mermaids crushed him with numbers.
It was like being attacked by hundreds of thousands of piranhas. It was impossible to survive without the power of magic or science.
And Ullullu lost the magical power of his skills.
Sir Hero! I think we should help Ullullu!
Wait! There are too many enemies!
Hero E, watching the dying giant from afar, had a heated discussion with Lanuvel.
If Ullullu falls, well be next in line!
Lanuvel was talking nonsense again.
Mermaids were a fairly easy race to understand. If they were prevented from mating, they would be out for blood instead.
Even now, they were only fighting because they were being barred from doing their favorite pastime.
The Heros Party didnt interest them at all.
I agree with her.
However, Saintess A supported Lanuvel.
Please survive, Hero~?
Meanwhile, as soon as Aqua realized that they had lost their advantage, she immediately returned to the side of her people. All the while, her gaze was fixed on the man who pierced Ullullus eye.
It was like witnessing an eagle with its eyes on its prey.
Fuk! Fuk! Fuk! Fuk!
Demonstrating her brilliant spear skills, the double-crosser blithely pierced through Ullullu.
The other mermaid princesses immediately gathered around her.
Aqua! Can you smell the scent of that man?
Sister! Not happy to see you at all!
I wont give you my man, Aqua.
Dont drool. I was the first to notice him.
Hello everyone~?
Although they tried to restrain her, they took Aqua back as if nothing happened.
That was the essence of their race, after all. Stupid fishheads.
However, they shouldnt be underestimated.
Their smooth skin was so slippery that even arrows fired directly at them couldnt leave a scratch, and their tail fin was strong enough to kill a powerful enemy a hundred levels higher than them.
They also had advantages when fighting in bodies of water, like being able to heal quicker.
Ullullu oxidized soon enough, causing ten days of heavy rain.
Retreating and watching from afar to not be swept away by the fierce battle and raging waves, Hero E, with his thinning harem, fell into despair at the fall of his ally, Ullullu.
But not me.
So this is where youve been enjoying life, huh?
I finally found the descendant of the First Hero, who boasted of equal love for all races. The man who pierced Ullullus eye was Descendant A. He was also the one who weakened him using Brave.
He enjoyed the victory surrounded by mermaids, absorbing a huge amount of experience as his reward.
Hero! What will you do now?
Oh I have to retreat.
Meanwhile, our Hero E, when asked by Saintess A, expressed his intention to flee.
The primary education course student who thought he was on the right track waspletely confused.
Brave? What is up with that fraudulent job?!
ming Descendant As job, he tried to get out of the Holy Kingdom, but Saintess A grabbed him by the ankle and didnt let him go.
Please take responsibility for breaking thekes line of defense.
As a result
Enough I cant take it anymore
Hero E, who bravely fought with all the mermaids that gathered around him like tuna to reproduce with the help of his Holy Sword, died of a heart attack.
***
I didnt regress myself, but whenever the Hero died, the copy I controlled was automatically brought back to the throne, which was essentially no different from regression.
After restarting, I decided to move on to another copy.
Hmm
Complete beginners excluded, getting smartphones from heroes had be more difficult because they had begun avoiding Alex in earnest.
It would be nice if I could make smartphones myself like chargers, but semiconductors and programming werent part of a cksmiths arsenal.
Until I could find an efficient method to do it, I had no choice but to stick with the current one.
I went through the copies with smartphones in their dimension and, using an honorary teacher privilege, checked the heroes location and appearance.
ck woman, white man, Asian, white woman, Asian
Their nationality and race were as diverse as their appearance.
Alex was able to catch many of them, but some still managed to escape.
I looked closely at the fugitives.
Oh?
Whats the matter, cowardly hubby? You look like you just saw the face of an enemy.
Well, youre not wrong.
I found ssmate A.
My mother treated me like a fantasy redneck because this bastard I met at the Festival of Heroes returned to Earth and spat some nonsense.
My resentment was as great and deep as the universe.
Are you going to go?
Yes, but theres no need for disguises this time.
I had met several heroes, but none of them realized that I was the Demon Lord for as long as I was hiding my stats.
They were oblivious to the Demon Lords appearance, after all.
Today, the faces of most viins, including my father-inw, were well known on Earth since art graduates painted their portraits.
But that didnt apply to me.
So far, only one Hero has seen my face.
If my cowardly wife manipted the system to hide her job, then our identities could forever remain hidden.
Wow! Kang Han Soo!
Oh? Its you! Long time no see!
I acted as if our meeting was just by chance.
Han Soo
What?
Say my name.
d to meet you, my friend!
If youre going to pretend to be close friends, at least remember my name!
ssmate A hadnt changed much after all this time.
Yellow-dyed hair, a miserable face, and a skinny body
If his ears were sharp and his hair was dyed green, he could be mistaken for an elf.
So you still havent graduated.
Im working on it now. Didnt you take 1st ce at the Festival of Heroes and got into the secondary education course? What are you doing here?
Good observation.
But I had already prepared an answer for that specific question.
Im conducting research.
What?
I came here for a while because of my homework researching the ecosystem of primary students.
Wow Secondary students need to do really weird things.
ssmate A, who had no idea about the course of secondary education, naively believed me.
Greetings. I am Ssosia, his wife.
Ssosia, who looked at me as if I had said something stupid, introduced herself, pride apanying her voice.
It is nothing of the sort! What you heard is regret!
My cowardly wife, dont you know how lucky you are to be with me?
Isnt it the other way around?
Heehee! My niece is so
Dont even try to continue what you want to say, auntie!
ssmate A looked grim as he watched us.
Is there a problem, my friend?
Yes. More than one.
Im listening.
I usually didnt allow interviews until the Hero reached the Demon Lords castle, but it wouldnt hurt to make an exception.
The gracious MAX-ss Demon Lord was ready to hear what he had to say.
Where did you get such a perfect wife, Han Soo?
What was that nonsense?
Ah! Your friend has a trained eye. Unfortunately, my husband cant even understand how lucky he is.
Hes been like that for as long as I can remember, madam.
Please tell us about those times.
Well, back then, he Kh?!
I amiably grabbed my ssmate As neck between his 6th and 7th vertebrae.
In our friendship, the past was irrelevant.
I had a question that I wanted to ask myself.
My dear friend! Wheres Lanuvel?
Well
ssmate A looked away, not daring to answer.
I tried to soothe him.
Young Hero, on behalf of Mon, I convey to you that getting rid of Lanuvel is not a sin. Mon.
Huh
There is no need to hide anything in front of me.
Is this some kind of a pseudo-religion confession?
Ha! This was far from being a pseudo-religion! Mons teachings were the only truth and salvation. This world began with Mon and would end with Mon. Mon.
Tell me already.
I confessed my love to Lanuvel, but she refused me.
Tsk! Lying is bad, my friend. It shames me to speak of this shameful memory of mine, but I know that is far from the truth, for I, too, confessed to Lanuvel myself in the 1st round and got rejected. However, that bitch still didnt leave me.
Well, its just
I didnt even need to listen.
ssmate As head was already filled with thoughts about it.
I cant admit that I made Lanuvel drink a lot of alcohol and tried to hit on her!
Rx. Your soul has told me everything, my friend.
That n of his was already aplete failure from the very beginning because that alcoholic pretender could drink alcohol like water.
She didnt die even when her alcohol content exceeded 4.5 ppm.
That bitch was not human.
Lanuvel suddenly left, saying that she was very disappointed in me.
Forget about her. May Mons blessing be with you. Mon.
Hey, how did you meet your wife?
My cowardly wife?
While I was spreading the greatness of Master Mon on the Northern Continent, Ssosia confessed to me by shaking her mean breasts at me.
That cant be any farther from the truth! Stop making things up!
Make things up? I wasnt trying to, even though I had a ZZ-ranked Fabrication skill.
Hey, Han Soo
Dont be shy. Speak up, my friend.
If I join Mons teachings, will I be able to get a girl as beautiful as your wife? After the incident with the Ice Princess, I lost confidence in myself
Of course. He is fair to everyone.
Mon?
Even now, Master Mon remained modest, disying feigned ignorance.
Chapter 276 - [17th Round] When I Become a Secondary Student…
Chapter 276 - [17th Round] When I Be a Secondary Student
In the name of Master Mon, our savior, the savages of Fantasy ask, Why are you so soft and firm? To such a question, Master Mon answers, Mon! They think they live, move, speak and act for themselves, but they do so solely in the name of Mon! Do you understand?
Not really, no.
ssmate A had a stupefied expression on his face.
Clicking my tongue, I consoled him.
Everyone is the same in the beginning. There is no need for us to hurry. If everyone could understand the truth so easily, there wouldnt be so many fools in the world.
Listen, my husbands friend. Mon is Mon. There is no other meaning hidden behind his existence. Dont try to grasp it as he did.
Why are you trying to monopolize Mons Teachings, cowardly wife? Why do you not want to share his wisdom with anyone?
Stop uttering nonsense already.
Mon~
Master Mon, peering out of Ssosias mean chest, gently swayed as we argued.
That was it! The truth was right in front of us, yet my dear friend still couldnt see and fathom it!
At the same time, however, ssmate A, staring at Master Mon, suddenly nodded.
I I would like to be reincarnated as a slime. Han Soo, I think Im starting to understand what you mean a little.
If so, then henceforth, you shall be known as a follower of Mons Teachings.
Yes!
Ssosia rolled her eyes in response, but I generously ignored her.
Monopolizing Grand Master Mon didnt sound like a bad option, but she shouldnt think so narrowly.
Such wisdom couldnt be hidden from the world. The more people Master Mons teachings could reach, the more beautiful the world would be!
Cowardly husband, lets pretend for a moment that all youve said is true.
You dont need to pretend.
What will happen if immoral people learn of him?
There is no need to feel worried.
The doctrines of Master Mon could be understood only by those whose hearts were as pure and fair as mine.
That was also exactly why my wife should give up her desire for monopoly!
Okay Do what you want.
The demoness, convinced by her MAX-ss Great Husband, finally surrendered.
I wondered how to proceed from here.
My dear friend, where are you going?
Usually, the way was paved by the Lanuvel, the worst pretender to ever exist.
However, ssmate A now traveled alone since Lanuvel dumped him.
Pfft
I knew I shouldntugh at his misfortune, but it just kept getting funnier the more I thought about it.
At the moment, we were on the border of the Dumpling Kingdom.
Hed enter the Holy Empire if he went north and the Holy Kingdom if he went east.
Hence, our location was considered one of the most important trading points, considering that the borders of the three countries converged here.
ssmate A had been spending time and money in thisrge city for several days.
But there was nothing wrong with that.

Now, hed be able to n his own journey without Lanuvel, like me, after the 1st round.
Since he was so passionate
He should go to the Southern Continent.
However, this wasnt my adventure, which was why I decided to listen to his wishes instead.
The destination is, of course, the Northern Continent.
Is this because of her again
No! Its not about the Ice Princess this time! Even if it is, shell be a great addition to my party if she joins Ahem, okay! Listen to me first. As a high school student, you probably already know this, but there is a Holy Sword on every continent of Fantasy. Alex told me about it.
That married man? Hmm
Alex had lived for 2,000 years, taking care of the Snow Woman throughout it all.
If he were his source of information, then no one would doubt it.
ssmate A even shared the names of the weapons, although I didnt ask.
Central Continent: The Holy Sword of Humans, Automania.
Eastern Continent: The Holy Sword of Dwarves, Highmon.
Western Continent: The Holy Sword of Vampires. Monpis.
Southern Continent: The Holy Sword of Giants Moncoyne.
Northern Continent: The Holy Sword of Mermaids, Monrod.
Hmm? Come to think of it Four of the five Holy Swords have simrities in their names. Is this a coincidence, or are they somehow rted to Mons teachings?
I told you. Mons teachings have a long history.
Two thousand years ago, as the Max-ss Righteous Hero, I spread the greatness of Master Mon through flush toilets across all the continents of Fantasy.
It wasnt surprising that the names of the Holy Swords referenced him. I wouldve named the aircraft carriers and cruisers after him on my home as well.
Thats amazing I had no idea.
ssmate As faith skyrocketed from F-rank to D-rank.
That was proof that he truly admired Master Mon.
Why do you need the one in the Northern Continent? Wouldnt it be best to target the one in the Central Continent first?
Automania isplete junk.
Holy Sword A was equipped with basic features such as auto attack, auto defense, and auto dodge.
I also thought Holy Sword A was useless, but I had never heard another hero say that.
I decided to ask about it.
Junk?
Consider Alexs skill, for example. Automanias automatic attack is limited to Z-rank Sword Mastery, but his was at G-rank, a rank I had never even heard of before. It would be like a fly trying to fight against an elephant.
I see.
So he wanted to find a different Holy Sword in hopes of it having better specifications?
I decided to find Monrod, the Nothern Continents Holy Sword, since even though I dont know what its functions are, I know thendscape of the Northern Continent better than most, making it easier for me to obtain it. After making money here, Ill head straight to it on a ship from the Holy Empire.
Thats a good n.
What about you, Han Soo?
Ill tag along while continuing my research.
As already agreed beforehand, I would make him pay for my resentment by following him.
Cowardly husband, dont spoil your friends adventure as he follows the path of a hero. I dont know what kind of rtionship youve had in the past, but I think hes a good person.
Ssosia, you, it turns out, are a gullible woman.
She so easily sumbed to ssmate Aspliments.
No, Im not! Id rather be alone than get bound to a cowardly man like you! I used to be considered an idol and the symbol of all the proud singledies across the universe.
Sure.
Without proof, her words were weightless.
But the inhabitants of Fantasy chose me as the cutest.
That was an indisputable fact.
That mustve been some mistake! No tampering was found, but there had to be some sort of maniption urring behind the scenes!
Why cant you just admit that Im the best husband you could ever get?
Hmph!
My niece has always hated losing. Shes so adorably pissed off~
Auntie!
ssmate A slowly gathered funds by hunting weak monsters near the city and selling his loot to merchants.
It was a very passive method, but there was a reason for that.

His stats werent impressive.
Considering that he was still in the primary education course, he wasnt doing that bad, but I had seen many heroes starting their journey with transcendental skills already.
However, all preconceptions aside, his growth rate was pretty amazing.
In particr, his Z-rank Sword Mastery stood out.
Unlike Alex, the barbaric savage from the 4th curriculum that treated people like punching bags, the current Alex, after marrying the Snow Woman, had be more prudent and seemed to have begun training the heroes correctly.
However
Hero, you shouldnt do that.
Do what? I just sat down to eat.
You took a table for four in the middle of the day. Please transfer to the table for two in the corner.
Oh Okay.
Because of Karma E, the citys attitude towards him was subpar.
Although the locals didnt harm him, they treated the Hero chosen by God as an ordinary customer.
Even mercenaries were treated better.
And many of them, without any problems, upied a table for four alone.
What about me?
I sat down at a round table for six people in the center of the restaurant. As the mercenaries immediately stared at me, the waiter hurriedly approached me.
Dear customer, if you dont have anyone apanying you
Should there be?
I gave him the smile of a Righteous Hero with a hundred years of experience.
Based on what I had gone through so far, this specific smile of mine could solve all problems.
After all, those who didnt appreciate it couldnt live to see another day.
Oh no. Please enjoy eating alone in peace! Hahaha!
Thats what I thought. Hahaha!
Well, Ill be leaving now. Im in the middle of something Hahaha!
I dont know what other business you have, but I want to ce an order. Hahaha!
Huh?! Oh, thats right! Im sorry! The waiter, who seemed to have forgotten about his duties for a moment, apologized with a pale face.
Its okay. It happens. Serve me a dish for two.
Oh! So you do havepany?
Does it matter?
Not at all! I was just curious I am terribly sorry! Excuse me! A tter for two,ing right up!
ssmate A, sitting at a table for two in the corner, looked at me with an indescribable expression.
Haha! My dear friend, this is the difference between us.
Cowardly husband, are you sure about taking this table?
Are you blind?
Are you? This table isnt even for four but generally for six.
So?
My goal, which I had achieved, was to see ssmate As gloomy face as he looked enviously in my direction.
The mercenaries around were also unhappy, but this was only a minor side effect.
So immature
Immature? I just used my MAX-rank reputation. But since it bothers you so much Bring me dishes for six instead of two!
I decided to fill the empty seats at my table.
Rice Cake, Boris, Green Cake, Shadow A.
The table for six was now fully upied.
This restaurant is too pathetic for you, Master.
Who should I get rid of, sir?
I havent eaten with my father for a long time. This is making me nervous
Im only here because of my love for Elfheim.
The table immediately became noisy.
But the rest of the visitors were quiet. They stared at us and whispered lowly.
Isnt that the Hero?
You think so?
Oh, strike me with thunder!
Oh! I have lost my appetite.
Hey! If they were jealous, they should just get married too.
Han Soo, I have a question.
After a good meal, ssmate A turned to me with a serious face.
Ask away.
Can I summon beauties like you when I be a secondary student?
I wanted to honestly say, It will be the same in high school! But my friends gaze was too sorrowful for me to do so.
We were in the Fantasy World, a ce full of hopes and dreams.
Even if despair came at the end, there was always a ce for happiness.
Sure. So dont give up, my friend.
Ah!
ssmate A, impatiently awaiting my answer, instantly shone, erasing his mncholic expression.
Save this fragile soul. Mon.
I was too kind to be the Demon Lord. My father-inw made a big mistake by handing over the family business to me.
Ssosia, who was next to me, looked somewhere into the void and muttered.
Father Dont you feel sorry for the heroes?
I didnt know what that was for.
Thanks to me, ssmate A overcame his crisis and, with a heart full of aspirations, had be prepared to go to the Holy Empire.
Do you remember me, good Hero?
Hero?
A female was looking at me, not at ssmate A.
A beautifuldy with green hair approached me. She looked like a goddess of fertility due to the ck-haired boy and a green-haired girl she was holding the hands of.
Who are you?
Thanks to you, Hero, my dream finally came true. These two children with me are the fruits of it.
Oh! I see! So who was she?

What struck me the most was the fact that she specialized not inbat but support.
Additionally, she had Child Care.
That skill certainly wasnt rare, but this was the first time I had seen it at such a high rank. Even bing a kindergarten teacher could only raise its rank to D.
But she was a dragon.
It had risen to that level because her children had a long period of delightful infancy.
B-rank wouldve already been surprising, but hers was at Z.
The beauty, who turned out to be a green dragon, introduced herself as Erdanti.
Was that name supposed to tell me something?
? rification: Divine Dragon Erdanti. Shes the first Saintess and the first to gain the power of resurrection. ording to the original story, she belonged to the First Hero, but cadet Kang Han Soo changed the story in such a way that she ended up with the one she loves. Her soul is still with the First Hero, though
Thanks for the exnation, Trainee Teacher!
I thought I saw her when I was with my demented senior.
I survived thanks to my Legendary racial trait, but he only avoided a sad end because he was restored to life by that dragon.
At the time, I couldnt immediately identify her as a dragon since she was quite different back then.
If the fake Divine Dragon standing in front of me was early spring, then the real Divine Dragon with the First Hero was te winter.
Right now, she was with her children, who were so cute and plump that I could just gobble them up.
Ah, d to meet you. You seem to be doing alright. Is my dearrade Noebius still alive?
Two thousand years had already passed since the Hero was summoned.
At this time, he was already at the end of his years.
But the green-haired beauty bowed her head in disbelief.
In all of Fantasys continents, there is no being capable of harming the invincible Noebius, who contains all the darkness of the Universe. It is safe to say hes perfectly fine.
Huh?
Oh! Of course, the Hero might just be a worthy rival.
No, thats not what I meant Shouldnt he be already living through his final days?
Even having said that, I wasnt certain anymore.
Two millenniums ago, Noebius was a young, energetic traveler.
His children standing on both sides of the Divine Dragon were proof of that.
Why was it even possible for such a dragon topletely exhaust himself in just 2,000 years in the first ce?
It is. Auntie can control time. My cowardly wife intervened after reading my mind.
I didnt expect such an answer.
What does that mean?
Whose power do you think regression stems from?
But it was all like that.
My father-inw couldnt control time. Having inherited the Demon Lords throne, I couldnt do it either.
I could refuse to regress, but I couldnt control it.
Fantasy was created by the First Angel and the First Demon, joining forces.
The regression that had tormented me for a century was also part of it.
If the First Demon had nothing to do with it, then it was the First Angel who added it to the dimension of Fantasy.
The Divine Dragon Erdanti exaggerated a little, but the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius, who went beyond the limits of his race, is almost impossible to kill. Therefore, auntie chose to kill him through natural death.
Did she speed up his biological clock?
There were parts about it that I couldnt understand, but because ssmate A and the dragons were staring at me, I stopped asking questions about it.
Whats your healthy husband doing now?
Noebius is hibernating.
Is he really healthy?
Yes. Hell soon wake up. After he gave me these two wonderful children, he decided to sleep for two millennia. One thousand nine hundred ny-five years have passed since then.
That was far from soon. There were still about five years left.
He knocked up his girl and went to sleep.
People would criticize him for this, but dragons, hermaphrodites, couldnt care less about children.
Laying eggs was usually the first andst act of parenthood for them since they didnt feel the need to keep an eye on them.

The ck-haired baby dragon, who looked like an ordinary boy, was just like Green Cake as a newborn. They both were stronger than any other monsters.
But even so, wasnt he too strong?
I concluded that the power of Z-rank Child Care caused it.
Um I couldnt quite get the gist of your conversation. Are you two talking about that same Noebius right now, Han Soo?
Yes. The Leader of the Five Great Disasters and the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. He Is now called the Dark Dragon, though. I answered him truthfully.
How did you defeat such a strong family?
I couldnt hide my surprise. How could he speak so tantly about the murder of myrades family right in front of his wife and kids?
Thankfully, the Divine Dragon didnt seem to care.
Dear Hero, you can stay in our home for as long as you like. If you show this certificate, you can use any services free of charge.
Where is your home?
The city you are in.
The whole city?
Yes.
The Dumpling Kingdom, Holy Empire, and Holy Kingdoms borders all met on this city and were also surrounded on three sides by a mountain range.
A natural fortress.
The shape of the mountain ranges resembled a recumbent dragon
Wait!
Is it?
Youre right.
I thought my dear friend abandoned his family, but I now realized how mistaken I was.
He always defended his family, even in his slumber.
He just didnt feel the need to be active.
Han Soo, whats the matter? Whats with this city?
I decided not to exin anything to ssmate A, who couldnt keep up with our conversation from the very beginning. It would do me no good if he found out.

I didnt want topare the skills of the 2,000-year-old Noebius with Alexs G-rank Sword Mastery, but they definitely werent fit for primary education.
Even if we considered that he was from the race of dragons, which in strength were superior to other races by about three times, there still hadnt been such a Disaster before.
Besides, Noebius was the heroes rival himself.
The difference was more than three times.
Mom praised you a lot.
I often listened to a luby in which your exploits were mentioned.
Plucking up courage, the two little dragons, who had previously only stupidly looked at me, finally spoke.
They even looked like Green Cake when they were shy.
Be as great as your father.
That was the best praise I could say.
Noebius, who destroyed the 4th curriculum, had indescribable strength at the end of his years, but I thought he was still in good shape.
It was a pity that all this was just an illusion
Again, Id like to thank you for bringing so much happiness into our lives. Call me if you need help.
Call me.
Call.
The green beauty left, taking her two children with her.
I wasnt sure if left was the right word, though, since this entire city was her nest, under the protection of Noebius.
From a normal persons perspective, though, she really did leave.
Anywho
Han Soo, I have a question.
I wont entertain it.
Youve known that dragon for about 2,000 yearsHuh?
Youre a hero. You need to use your brain. If you cant do that, how do you n on enrolling in a secondary education course? Dont you want to learn how to summon a whole harem of beauties?
Ah!
Finding no arguments, ssmate A fell silent.
During my conversation with the Divine Dragon, I clearly showed that I had known Noebius for two millennia, so his doubts were understandable.
But we should never forget the first rule to bing a hero.
Arrogance.
Youre the only one with that rule
I ignored the words of my cowardly wife.
Listen, friend.
Cant you remember my name?
Now is not the time to worry about such trifles. The Noebius family we just met
Divine Dragon Erdanti, that legendary dragon, is said to have followed the First Hero.
ssmate A pretended to know something.
Yes, shes the green-haired married woman. Congrats on figuring it out for yourself, but if you keep counting flies like that, you wont be able to graduate.
Oh
Z-rank skills are normal for primary students now.
What? Really?
I told you Im doing research. Ive met a lot of juniors besides you, so Im sure of it. As soon as they are summoned, they toss that lying woman Lanuvel. They then recruit Aqua and the Saintess, who are in the Holy Kingdom, aspanions. Theyre not progressing as slow as you are.
I just didnt rush him because it bothered me.
Is the gap between us really that big?
Why should I, a student from the secondary education course, lie to you?
Youre right. You have no reason to do so.
Im not supposed to do this, but since youre a former ssmate of mine, Ill teach you a special trick.
What trick?
How to easily get Z-rank skills.
Woah!
Listen carefully. The kind-hearted cant win over the hard worker, but the hard worker cant win over the one who enjoys the process. Likewise, the one who enjoys the process cant win over the coward, and the coward cant win over the kind-hearted. This is, of course, in ordance with Mons teachings.
So this is where Mons teachingse in
I exined the word of Grand Master Mon to my idiotic ssmate, but he couldnt seem to understand half of it. I did take more than three years to get through the first round, though, so it was understandable.
Basically, he needed to grow stronger.
The certificate given by Noebiuss wife proved to be extremely helpful.
All city services were indeed free.
This is a tradition my great-great grandfathers kept.
None of the residents opposed this. After all, this was how their ancestors lived.
The Divine Dragon bought thisnd 2,000 years ago, and now all the locals, including the feudal lords, were their tenants.
Unlike my friend Noebius, his wife was a calctingndy who knew the benefits of investing.
Its a pity that it didnt work out for me.
Who knew my father-inw would catch me?
It was a bit of a shame thatnd ownership documents from the Fantasy World were nothing but simple pieces of paper on Earth.
And my wife
What now?
You havent invested in anything yet, have you?
Even if I havent, it doesnt bother me in any way now.
Oh, I see.
My dearrade Noebius now lived happily thanks to the fact that his marriage was sessful. Howe I got a cowardly demoness instead of someone like the Divine Dragon?
Life wasnt fair.
You shouldnt be envious. Its all made up anyway.
I know.
The real Divine Dragon now lived as a ve under the control of my resentful senior. Noebiuss wife right now was nothing more than a fake.
All this was just an illusion.
But this doesnt mean that such a development is impossible. Both Noebius and Erdanti are still alive.
None of that concerns me.
Hmph! Really?
Ignoring her, I turned to ssmate A.
Using the certificate given to us by the Divine Dragon, he freely chose his armor and weapons.
But was there even any point in doing so? One nudge from my wings would be enough topletely disintegrate his opponents.
I wasnt sure if the same applied for the Dragon Scale armor, though.
Hey, friend. Stop choosing and pick one already. We need to hurry up
Bang!
At that moment, breaking through the thick wall of the forge, a little girl appeared.
Green hair, green eyes, green outfit, green aura
It was the Divine Dragons daughter we recently met.
Ouch Hmm? Dear Hero, sorry to startle you. That evildy is bullying mom again, said the green-haired girl with her left arm torn off and her neck shed.
Shhhh
Her fatal wounds were swiftly healed, though.
Shaking off the dust, I asked the girl. And whos the evildy?
Who was the suicidal maniac that decided to touch their nigh-all-powerful family? From the sounds of it, though, this didnt seem like the first time this had happened.
I was surprised at first, but then I finally noticed.

Chapter 278 - [17th Round] Descendants of Dragons
The Brave job is far more widespread than I thought.
The better the job, the rarer it should be. However, it seemed the opposite was true here.
Logically, a Greatest-Top-Secret-Legendary-Ultra-General-Emperor-ZZZ-ranked concept should only be avable to one person!
However, in this world, there was no such logic.
It amazed me how faithful the First Hero was to his youthful instincts.
It was more than enough to say that he was the most faithful in the entire universe.
Most animals reproduced only with their own kind, after all.
Meanwhile, he was interested not only in mammals but also in reptiles, birds, and fish.
His fecundity was then passed on to his descendants together with his Brave job.
What is this all about?!
ssmate A was confused.
Relying solely on his strength and skill, he could no longer move in his new heavy armor.
He clearly needed to train more.
That wasnt to say I didnt understand ssmate As feelings, however.
One of the heroes advantages was their 500% experience gain increase.
Even if they didnt try as hard as others, they could still level up at the same pace as them, if not faster. However, to build muscle mass, rigorous training was required.
That was where the problem arose.
The higher the rank of the Physical Strength skill, the more one relied not on their physical form but on the skill itself. Heroes often reached the state ofpletely relying on it five times faster than others. No, considering their levels growth was also increased fivefold, then theoretically speaking, they reached it twenty-five times faster!
He couldnt do anything.
Wait for me here, friend. Dont die.
Of course, none of this applied to me.
My muscles, which developed from my breathing alone, had gone beyond the human races limitations 100 years ago, causing my bodys structure to be rebuilt in such a way that took into ount the characteristics of different races and individuals, including Noebius, the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion himself.
I was the epitome of evolution, of innovation.
It was Mons will!
It was hard to prove Darwins Theory of Evolution since evolution required thousands of years to ur.
But Mons Evolution was different.
Just knowing the teachings of the greatest creature was enough for changes to emerge instantly.
It was the most effective form of evolution!
I dont know who Darwin is, but I can say with confidence that he is much more majestic than Mon, cowardly hubby.
Youre simply ignorant of the truth.
I stepped out through the shattered wall of the forge and soared into the sky using my wings of the righteous hero, which were the ultimate fruit of evolution.
There was no need to even waste time looking for the wife and children of my dearrade Noebius.
The battle took ce not far from us, after all.
The battle was so uneventful that it was hard to believe thebatants were dragons, though.
Theirckluster sh was due to their levels falling to 1 and having their true skills sealed since they were in the form of humans, not dragons.

The Divine Dragons body was covered in green scales. On top of that were ck scales that resembled armor.
And on her head was a dark horned helmet, protecting her face and her green hair, which werent covered by her scales.
How practical.
I thought she was just an exhibitionist with no knowledge about protection, but that changed after she married and had children.
However, her ck scales were the ones that piqued my interest the most.
No matter how I looked at it, those were definitely Noebiuss scales.
ck scales on a green dragon?
It wasnt logically impossible, but it seemed that their Unification worked, the results of which reflected on both her and Noebiuss statuses.
She also had a helmet on.
How interesting.
The dark scales I got from Noebius covered my bodypletely, leaving me hairless!
Surrender, Braves descendant. said the Divine Dragon as she looked at the opponent.
She was armed but didnt leave her seat.
Her children fought for her instead.
Do not hurt mother!
Youre a bad person.
The attacks of the green-haired girl and the ck-haired boy were inept, which confirmed that theycked experience.
In contrast, their opponent was an experienced fighter.

She was equipped with multiplebat skills.
She wasnt a bnced character, however. While her offensive skills were top-notch, her defensive skills were at the bottom of the list. Moreover, there were only a few of them.
She was like an assassin seeking to kill her targets with one blow or a hunter who only aimed for weak prey. Or both.
These monsters
Her appearance was no different from themon female mercenaries across the continents except for her blonde hair, which seemed to glitter like stars.
She wore the usual brown leather armor.
In her hands, d in golden gauntlets, was a golden hammer, which she swung so easily it seemed like a toy. That alone showed she was no ordinary person and that the blood of golden dragons flowed through her.
But that was all she had.
BOOM! BOOM!
Noebiuss children remained on their feet, relentlessly charging at her like throwing daggers, even when struck with her armament.
They instantly recovered from the gravest injuries and mortal wounds.
Good luck.
Tuk!
The Divine Dragon, watching the battle, gently hit the ground with her staff whenever she needed to resurrect her children.
Yes, die! Die! Damn monsters!
Adults shouldnt be talking to children like that.
But I perfectly understood how she felt.
It bothered me too.
Since the First Saintess stood behind the First Hero, constantly resurrecting him, I thought there would be no end to ourst battle.
However, the end dide when his house, which had be our battlefield, could no longer survive our shes. I was kicked out of there due to that.
Im not a monster. Not that it matters. Youll fall soon enough.
Enough hysterics. Just die already.
The two children quickly recovered thanks to the superior genes they received from their father, and even if they couldnt, they were saved by their mothers fraudulent ability.
The golden dragon, on the other hand, was already battered.
Hmm. I dont have to interfere.
Their family was too strong.
Noebius, the final boss and the head of their family, hadnt even woken up yet.
Tsk! Monsters! Well see! Next time Kya?!
There shall be no next time.
She tried to escape with the Light, a racial trait of the Golden Dragon race, but my outstretched hand grabbed her neck between the 6th and 7th vertebrae beforehand.
Oh! What a coincidence!
D-Demon Lord?! Shouted the blonde-haired mercenary.
She looked in my direction, causing me to turn back. However, I couldnt see my father-inw anywhere.
I immediately focused my attention on the Creator of Fantasy.
Whats the meaning of this, my cowardly wife?
How did this lizard know that I was the MAX-ss Righteous Demon Lord?
Who knows? There are no glitches in the program
I took a look at my job, but it still stated Prophet.
Are you sure?
I was.
Which means youre not sure right now. You have plenty of time and funds. I can wait for the reason behind this, cowardly little wife.
Shut up. I hate being unaware of its cause as much as you do, perhaps more.
I left Ssosia alone, whose pride had received a fatal blow, and asked the source of the confusion directly.
But I didnt even have to ask. Shaking with fear, the golden dragon confessed on her own.
She began to mumble something incoherently.
Everything is as my mother told me! Your terrible wings are worse than any nightmare. Iughed at her abstract exnations at the time, but now I realize my mother described them perfectly.
Whats wrong with my wings?
They werent terrible.
They had reached the peak of evolution for the sake of punishing the evil that mighte my way.
The problem doesnt seem to be my system, but your easily recognizable wings.
Damn it!
I didnt think my wings would be more famous than me.
Drug Demon Lord, even just by looking at them, anyone would immediately assume they belong to the Demon Lord. Even my noble aura cant save their terrible appearance.
Such prejudice should have no ce in this world, Minion A.
The way a weapon is perceived depended on its user and when and where it was used.
That could be confirmed by the syllogism of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.
Big premise: I was righteous.
Smaller premise: My wings were a part of me.
Conclusion: Therefore, my wings were righteous.
That was why they were called the Wings of the Righteous Hero.
They should naturally be perceived as heroic, not diabolical!
Wow! How cool!
I envy them.
The children of myrade Noebius stared at my wings with awe and admiration in their eyes.
They were definitely intelligent kids!
Kind creatures would see no malice in my wings.
On the other hand
Your fear of my wings of the righteous hero serves as proof of your maleficence and malignance. I want to cleanse you of your anger, but things will only get moreplicated if you die now. Do you understand?
She drew attention to herself by shouting, Demon Lord! I had to make sure she paid for such sphemy.
Hmph! Submitting to such a clear threat Huh?
And theyre even more beautiful up close. I think its because theyre dragon bones that my hands moved without my knowledge Haha!
Hey, say something. Is this your first time seeing your vertebrae? Really? Do you want to touch it?
Aaaaaghhhh?!
***
There were unforeseen circumstances, but everything ended in my favor to my efforts as the MAX-ss Demon Lord.
Dear citizens! I apologize for making such a fuss and for lying about seeing the Demon Lord! R-reason? Well I just wanted attention so I can increase my value as a mercenary I beg your forgiveness
She apologized on her knees to those around her.
At this time, the B-rank Hero, who had regained his level since Brave hade undone, finally reached us.
As usual, my friend waste on the uptake.
Han Soo! What happened?!
This mercenary will be yourpanion.
This was not a part of my n.
I just wanted to quietly kill this girl so that she would no longer spread rumors that I was the Demon Lord.
But the Divine Dragon asked me to let her live since she was the daughter of an old friend.
Hence, I decided to assign a caretaker to her instead.
Huh?
Of course, I chose ssmate A, a pitiful guy whom Lanuvel abandoned, for that task.
Do you need any more exnations? Or do you refuse?
N-no! Haha! I was just confused because you suddenly gave me a mistress! Mon! Long live Mon! Mon! Mon!
Not a mistress, but apanion
ssmate As Faith skill had increased again.
Hello, Sir Hero. I am an illegitimate child born out of the tumultuous personal life of the Golden Dragon disia. Since my father, who died before I was born, was a human, I was born a half-breed, which prevents me from transforming into a full-fledged dragon. Instead, I inherited the strength of my father: Brave.
Ah Nice to meet you. I am the Hero, and my name is Piko, ssmate A answered shortly, having listened to her boring introduction from start to finish.
Even I felt somehow ufortable, and I was just standing next to them.
Hey friend, have you got nothing more to tell besides your name?
Even that was just a pseudonym made to allow the stupid locals of Fantasy to easily remember him.
At that moment, Ssosia lightly poked my side.
Cowardly husband, you wouldnt kill your parents, living quietly in peace, just to diversify your boring biography, would you?
Did I say anything about needing them to die?
I could talk about my family for an hour, at least.
On the other hand
a衤Mother: Son, take your little brother as an example. (7:31)
a衤 Son: Why should I follow the example of a two-year-old toddler? (13:26)
a衤Mother: He never ceases to please me. He never cries, can distinguish between pooping and peeing, and is popr with our neighbors. (16:15)
a衤Son: Your son is a respected Hero here. (19:15)
a衤Mother: Do you have time for everyday life? (22:01)
I was certain I could talk about my mother for more than ten hours
Chapter 279 - [17th Round] The Power of Love!
Chapter 279 - [17th Round] The Power of Love!
ssmate A, the MAX-ss Great Prophet, and the dummies traveled to the Holy Empire in the north of the Central Continent with the intention of sailing to the Northern Continent from there. That was the n, at least.
However, our journey didnt work out as we intended.
Although everyrge city had a Wizard Tower equipped with spatial transportation magic circles, it turned out that the Holy Empire rejected the Heros admission due to his bad Karma.
It was, of course, strange.
Why wouldnt they want to ept the person who would save the world?
I didnt encounter such hospitality even in the 1st round despite my reputation not being that high due to mypanions activities at the time.
Of course, only ssmate A was treated this way, not me, but that didnt change anything since I was with him.
How is this possible
Friend, have things usually been better for you?
Thanks to the testimony we received from the Divine Dragon, we were able to use such an expensive method of transportation for free. However, since our destination refused to ept us, we gained nothing from it.
The spatial transportation magic circles were essentially invisible tunnels. People belonging to certain categories were prohibited from utilizing it by blocking either the entrance, exit, or both.
Such individuals were often criminals, had their identities hidden, had uncertain status, mercenaries with less than five years of work experience, unregistered ves, banned from leaving the country, or were entering from a hostile nation.
Why was I refused admission?
Offended, the Hero decided to find out the reason from the towers wizard, who was busy exploring the abyss and looking at the legs of his young assistant.
Distracted from his research, the wizard frowned.
The Holy Empire doesnt trust you.
Seriously? What have I done wrong?
Thats the point. Youve done nothing, and thats wrong.
It was the effect of Karma E.
In the Dumpling Kingdom, this could be ignored because it was the starting country, but it was different for the other nations.
Of course, there were originally no problems with immigration. However, the fall in the heroes reputation reduced their authority.
Simply put, the other countries had no confidence that the Hero wouldnt strike down the tower upon emerging from the spatial transportation magic circle.
For this reason, ssmate As admission was rejected.
Then we have no choice but to walk. You can increase your reputation on the way.
Since I traveled using my wings of the righteous hero and spatial transference, I didnt think that the day woulde when such words would escape from my lips!
Hey, cowardly husband.
Whats the matter, cowardly wife?
I think you became more of a hero by inheriting the family business. Maybe its just me, though.
Its just you.
I had always been like this.
Bing the Demon Lord didnt change me.
I didnt need to be the Hero to do righteous deeds.
Someone! Help!
You are a hero! Go help!
Im not in the mood to help others right now Huh?!
The Hero with a bad reputation is already heading to you, damsel in distress!
Aaaahhhh!
I kicked ssmate A between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.
The B-ranked Hero flew in a parab andnded in front of thedy.
I let him work on his reputation.
As for me
I am sincerely d that you have resurrected, Demon Lord.
I summoned a demon hiding among the people.
Let all the demons and their followers living in this city know that I order them to work on expanding the territory of the Demon Lord from now on. Listen to the citizensints, seek the favor of stupid people, and instill bad prejudices against the heroes. Also, chase that grunting hero holding onto his back over there.
Chase?
Load him up with a bunch of useless things to waste his time.
Oh! You truly are the master of evil!
For the cause.
This city will be yours!
The demon disappeared, once again infiltrating the ranks of humanity.
I turned my attention back to the Hero.
Han Soo! Listen to this! That girl asked me to find her red ribbon that fell in a forest full of monsters! She even set a time limit, saying that it should be done today
Tsk, tsk. Youre pathetic.
Me? Hasnt she gone crazy?
He needed to change his job to Dumbass.
Buy a red ribbon at a clothing store.
Huh?
Ask her what it looks like and find a simr one.
But her memories are connected with it
Are you an idiot? How would she know the ribbon you bought wasnt the one she was using? Buy a ribbon, stomp on it a little to give it a tattered look, and she wont be able to distinguish it from the original one anymore.
Do you have something to say?
Secondary students really think differently. Incredible.
Delighted, ssmate A returned to working on his reputation.
But in the end, the substitution of the quest item failed.
Because there were no cuts on the red ribbon.
He was to me for not being able to find out its specifications properly.
Meanwhile, I wasnt fooling around, either.
After installing the bidet I had the angel make for me in public toilets, I heard the reviews of the ignorant Fantasy savages.
This is so cool!
This is a real revolution!
I was surprised when I tried it.
Its really convenient.
Its rating was excellent, which was as expected.
However, I couldnt yet resolve the problem with its mass production, which was difficult to achieve due to its technical features.
Spray water up your ass.
It was an easy concept to understand, but its implementation was much more difficult than normalizing flush toilets.
Warming up the water was a necessity so it wouldnt feel icy.
I couldnt even dream of mass-producing it yet.
Besides
Cowardly Demon Lord, everything will roll back upon the heroes regression. Wouldnt that alone make thinking about it in vain? Ssosia asked.
Thats the biggest problem. If the Hero dies and returns, even properly functioning bidets will perish.
But I understand your heart well.
My heart?
What did she know about my heart?
I looked suspiciously at my cowardly wife, who was busy pretending to be close to me. What was she up to?
Im not nning anything! I just love watching you care for the people of Fantasy.
Where did you pick up such nonsense?
What I was doing was nothing more than using the savages to trample the heroes hopes and dreams and plunge them into despair.
This was hypocrisy and deception.
Hmm, I see~ What a wicked and insidious Demon Lord~
Dont smile. Youre making me feel sick.
I decided to install the bidets only in the Demon Lords castle until I could resolve the problem with its mass production.
With the blueprints, one unit could be produced in each dimension.
It would be a special service for heroes visiting the Demon Lords castle.
Get out of here!
Get out of my city!
I am disappointed in you, Hero.
Boo! Look, its the Hero! Booooo!
ssmate A, who began to work on his reputation, repeatedly failed and was expelled from every city he visited.
Rumors about him spread so far that there were times when he was stopped from getting into inns even though he had money.
At this rate, he might be homeless by tomorrow.
And it wasnt just the B-ranked Hero I was traveling with that suffered such a fate.
Heroes who died often and had already raised their Karma to D-rank were generally in a simr situation as ssmate A.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Karma
? Rank: D
? C: Credibility diminishes every regression.
? D: Favor diminishes every regression.
? E: Fame decreases every regression.
? F: Reputation decreases every regression.
So far, they were only forbidden to use magic circles as means of transportation. Crossing the border by foot wasnt disallowed. I wondered what would happen once their Karma had reached C-rank, however.
I just want to blow this off and go home
Dont be a sourpuss, friend!
The reason why ssmate A, who had E-rank Karma, lost the publics trust and interest was me.
In hindsight, he just seemed like an ipetent person who failed his every task, but he actually did well, considering he was a social outcast.
Cheer up, Sir Hero!
He was so depressed that even the half-breed began to console him.
It urred to me that her sympathy and empathy for him were growing more and more. Was it because she also suffered from what was happening to him as hispanion?
And after fifteen days of traveling together, The number of sleeping bags our party used was reduced from three to two. Our numbers remained the same, though.
Since then, ssmate A changed in a strange way.
Please go away, Hero!
Haha! I wille again tomorrow, elder!
Dont ever return!
Just you wait! Ill find the herbs that will heal your son.
Ha! Do what you want.
Gradually, he began to rebuild his reputation.
Even when the door was mmed in front of him, he justughed and moved on. Whenever he was having a really hard time, the half-breed would console him at night.
Hmmm I didnt expect this.
I didnt even think ssmate A, who was on the verge of giving up on everything, would be able to ovee difficulties and hardships with the help of the power of love.
It was all because of the newpanion that I imposed on him.
Their chemistry manifested during dungeon raids and monster hunts, too.
Shshshshshk?!
Thanks to their teamwork, the hydra, a gigantic and powerful monster not even ssmate A could defeat, fell lifelessly to the ground.
That lizard grew up to nine heads as it aged.
Its swift regeneration and the fact that all of its heads had to be chopped off simultaneously to kill it made it difficult to overpower.
However, the girls Brave job was even more fraudulent than the hydra.
Because of the drop in its levels, it died before it could even do anything.
Half-breed decapitated eight of its heads while ssmate A barely managed to cut thest one.
On second thought, I wasnt certain if that could even be called teamwork.
In the end, however, he reached the maximum level visible with her help and the 500% experience boost.
Level 496 Level 999
ssmate A, upon absorbing the hydras experience points, immediately passed level 999.
From that moment on, a one-sided massacre began.
Strong monsters were defeated by the half-dragon and her Brave, while the Hero dealt with weak monsters.
This is a little annoying.
In theory, the Hero and Bravebo were unstoppable. Moreover, their trust in each other went far beyond the battlefield.
It seemed to me that I had toe up with a countermeasure.
Han Soo, Im sorry.
At least thats what I thought until ssmate A apologized to me when we got to the capital of the Holy Empire.
What? Why are you apologizing to me out of nowhere?
I think this is where Pikos adventure ends.
After a lot of thinking about who Piko was, I remembered that this was ssmate As name.
Why did you decide on giving up on your journey, friend?
I needed to know his reason.
Upon gradually oveing the obstacles set by Karma E and the MAX-ss Demon Lord, the B-ranked Hero suddenly announced his resignation.
His answer might be able to help me deal with the other heroes.
ssmate A scratched the back of his head. Shes pregnant.
Who?
Thepanion you brought me That woman is dearer to me than my own life. She carries my child.
I see.
The vile power of love hadnt bothered me that long.
Chapter 280 - [17th Round] Retirement
Chapter 280 - [17th Round] Retirement
? Confusion: Student Pikos case isnt rare. Due to the appearance of the Karma skill in the system, arge number of students have resigned. There are even those whose personalities have changed so much that theyve be even worse than viins!
Thank you for the rification, beautiful and smart Trainee Teacher!
99.999% of the heroes were people who couldnt adapt to life in society. On Earth, they grew up hearing at school and from their parents that they were dumb.
Such individuals had to be babysat and constantly praised to grow heroes out of them.
I was certain of that since I watched ssmate A grow up to eventually be Married Man A.
Whenever the locals ignored him and despised him, the half-breed would cheer him up and babysit him.
Han Soo, I decided that Ill only live for her from this point onwards.
What about the Demon Lord?
If the Demon Lord falls, this world will also disappear. I will watch over her until the Demon Lord reveals his ns first.
Oh, I see.
Should I turn him to dust now?
In my head, I had 493 ways to punish the B-ranked Hero who took the MAX-ss Demon Lord for a fool, but I didnt follow through with the idea.
I wanted to observe the changes of Married Man A.
Trainee Teacher did say many like him surrendered and resigned.
Hed serve as a good reference.
Cut the nonsense and just be honest, cowardly husband. Congratte him.
Congratte him?
Bro, congrattions on entering a hellhole called nurturing a newborn baby!
Youre such a child.
Ssosia kept poking me in the side to congratte them, but the fact that the Hero chose family over the peace of humanity remained unchanged.
That was no more than a negligent attitude towards their official duties!
But I wasnt going to criticize him.
Because if I were in his shoes, I would have done the same.
The safety and happiness of ones family had to alwayse first.
However
Wasnt he acting a little too rash?
The half-breed continued to stare at me with concern on her face.
She knew that I was the Demon Lord, after all and that even the Brave and Herobo wouldnt work against me.
Am I free? She asked cautiously.
She became the Herospanion only because she needed my forgiveness and since I granted her mercy.
I looked at her belly.
It wasnt visible yet in her current state, but new life was clearly being created in her.
May the patronage of Mon be with you.
Ah! Thank you!
The girl visibly rxed, and sparkles appeared in her eyes.
Previously, she was just a woman I disliked, but now she was a future mother, protecting the next generation.
I turned to Married Man A.
My dear friend, you know that if the Demon Lord or you dies, this world will disappear along with your wife and child, dont you?
I know
Good.
It was an epaulette mate. [Note: Chess Reference]
Having conceived a child, he could no longer participate in the murder of the Demon Lord.
And that wasnt all.
If my copy threatened him by saying he wouldmit suicide, Married Man A would have to stop it by any means.
I showed the newly made bride the smile of the Righteous Hero.
Be a wife that your husband will be able to love forever if you dont want to die.
Yes! Of course!
Ssosia poked me in the side again, but I ignored her.
I needed to do it.
If Married Man As passion cooled down and he went off to kill the Demon Lord, that would be the end.
Kang Han Soo, you need to fix your terrible temper. Would you like it if someone tells you they want to kill your wife?
My ignorant friend was talking nonsense again.
Yes, it would put me in a great mood.
What?!
In a great mood to kill someone.
With family came huge danger, burden, and responsibility.
I knew about it all too well, considering I suffered from the teaching staff after Chris, my son, was born through my bond with the Sword Princess.
Hence, after that, I always used the Lucky Ring.
That way, my family wouldnt grow anymore.
I didnt expect my mother would give birth to another one, though!
Be happy, my friend.
Kang Han Soo! I will pray that Mons patronage will be with you! Mon!
Good. May Mon be with you too. Mon!
Master Mon! Please make sure my friend doesnt desire divorce for a long time.
Mon? Mon~
Master Mon treated both single people and couples equally and without prejudice.
***
I didnt even try too hard, but the heroes failed already.
And with each regression, their Karma hit them even harder than before.
As a result, primary education had almostpletely ceased to function.
My juniors just died way too often.
It was especially hard for the neers.
And even if they umted experience over time, their Karmas rank by then was already so high that they could no longer put everything in order.
? News: Cadet Kang Han Soo! It looks like action will be taken soon. I briefly heard that a new skill would be added that could bnce Karma without removing it.
Thank you so much, secret friend!
Most of the management of the Fantasy institution had been acquired by Ssosia.
Therefore, realizing that they couldnt remove Karma, the teaching staff chose n B: bncement.
It was unclear how the director would support the heroes, but the assistance they could offer would clearly be limited.
Because Fantasy didnt consist only of light.
If, as now, light and darkness opposed each other, it would be almost impossible to do something.
For now, Ill calmly observe the development of events.
You think itll be that simple? Your rival is still the First Angel, cowardly hubby.
And Im the Demon Lord.
I didnt know what my father-inw was doing right now, but the retired first Demon Lord Pedonar had disappeared into history.
The era of the Demon Lord Parmamon had arrived!
All the darkness of the Fantasy World belonged to me.
Even if we came face to face with the First Angel, I was sure I wouldnt fail.
In the process, however, youll lose a lot, My cowardly wife reproached me.
Everything is within my expectations. Even if I do nothing, I will still win.
Having looked at Married Man A, I was convinced of this.
As soon as the heroes married the inhabitants of Fantasy and had children, they would have to give up the thought of killing the Demon Lord.
With the institution paralyzed, I would win.
Why?
What were you doing when your MAX-ss husband exined everything, Ssosia?
Ignoring you.
Listen. If the Demon Lord threatens the Heroes with suicide, then the second generation of Fantasy heroes will have no choice but to surrender.
Oh!
Heroes would try to prevent the death of the resurrected Demon Lord!
It sounded strange, but it definitely wasnt impossible to happen.
? Surprise: How did you know about that? You are simply amazing, cadet Kang Han Soo! This issue was also discussed at the meeting of the teaching staff. The exact cause is unknown, but the rate of marriage and childbirth among students has risen sharply.
The disciples gave up their studies and began to enjoy their lives. That was a serious problem for the teaching staff.
But I understood their side.
If the lectures were too difficult, students would be stressed, which in turn would result in them being distracted by other things.
For example, love.
Personal experience?
A friends experience.
I was an obedient child growing up under the supervision of my mothers racket.
And Married Man A really resigned. Right now, they were trying to resolve their housing issue.
That wasnt why I came to the Holy Empire.
I think its great. He chose love over fame.
Hey, stop watching melodramas.
I dont watch those.
Ha! Cowardly little wife, you think I dont know that you secretly read novels andics on my smartphone? I also know thetest work you read.
Nove: Is This Rtionship Real?
It seemed to describe love between a god who chose between true love and a harem.
And at the ending, what happened was
I just thought to read one chapter for fun Huh?! Dont spoil its ending, cowardly husband! Ill curse you for life if you do!
I wont.
Well then! Perhaps it was time to meet a different hero.
Once I had left it, my copy would return to the throne by himself.
At this moment
H-help!
I saw a guy running away from someone as he panicked.
Arrows were stuck in his shoulder and back, and a huge wound was visible under the torn clothes on his taut body.
And behind him
ThudThud Thud
Knights in dark armor were chasing after him.
Who was he?
? Race: Human
? Race: 485
? Job: Imperial Prince (Rank in the hierarchy = Trust )
? Skills: Sword Mastery B, Immunity B, Incitement C, Politics C, Patronage C
? Status: Wounded, Bleeding, Poisoned
Prince.
The son of the emperor.
I was at the capital of the Holy Empire, the only empire on the Central Continent. It was unlikely that a prince from another country would be here.
Besides, I recognized him.
Isnt that Prince A?
Would you stop calling people nicknames only you can understand?
Prince A, or the Imperial Prince.
With the absolute support of the nobles, he would be the next emperor once the current ruler of the Holy Empire died of disease.
And as soon as he ascended to the throne, he would immediately send knights and assassins to execute his cunning sister, the Imperial Princess.
Some would think it was unfair, but that wasnt the case at all.
The Imperial Princess only dreamed of conspiracy and revolution.
This situation is rather strange, though.
That moderately clever prince was the eldest son of the current emperor, so it was only natural that he would be the first contender for the throne.
But now, he was running away like a hunted prey in the center of his own capital.
What happened?
Help Kh?!
I decided not to worry about guesswork but to inquire to the person in question himself.
Sorry, Prince A, for grabbing you by the throat, but I need to know why youre running away.
I-I was unfairly used!
What an abstract answer. I dug deeper for more details.
Boris, calm the others down.
Yes, sir. The beautiful spirit answered, ensuring that the demons and their followers, who would inadvertently greet me as their lord in front of everyone, wouldnte across me.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Thanks to her dominant fighting power, Boris quickly got rid of all the knights.
They were all destroyed at once, like devices that were deprived of power.
So
Kh-kh!
Grabbing the Imperial Prince between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, I walked carelessly through the streets of the capital.
My imperial-blooded ugly friend, dont cry and calmly tell me what you were used of.
M-my throat first
Dont worry about it.
He had just been unjustly used! Wasnt that more important than his neck?
I was used of having connections with heretics who believe in Mons Teachings, a religion prevailing on the Northern Continent.
Heretics?
How could he say such terrible things?
Yes. The Holy Empire is ruled by the Lanuberk family, whose members are the descendants of the one and only God. Therefore, it is absolutely unforgivable for the divine heir to be used of serving Mon, which strictly prohibits slime-hunting. Why would I, the future ruler of the empire, worship some kind of slime
While the prince was babbling enthusiastically, his neck suddenly broke.
Oh! Oh my God! Prince! I, The first apostle of Mons Teachings, will avenge your unfortunate death.
The time hade to spread the truth about what the unjust false teachings had suppressed!
Dont you have a conscience, husband?
The time hase to rise and fight, loyal followers of Mon!
Chapter 281 - [17th Round] Countermeasures
Chapter 281 - [17th Round] Countermeasures
Mons Teachings is a cult from the Northern Continent, arent they?
Burn the heretics!
Get out of ournd!
The eyes of the Holy Empires brainwashed citizens were filled with anger.
I understood the reason behind their actions, however.
They simply feared being used as heretics themselves.
Grand Master Mon! Give me the wisdom and patience necessary to enlighten these stupid barbarians.
What did the God of the Holy Empire do for you? Protect you? Isnt ensuring the safety of ones subjects the duty of any country? Is such a shallow task really worthy of your praises and loyalty? Master Mon demands nothing and requests nothing from you, but even so, since time immemorial, we have been living in His graces! Imagine life without flush toilets! The prevention of such a diabolical reality is the epitome of a real deitys true power!
The cowardly wife poked me in the side, saying, It was you who distributed flush toilets, not Mon, but I ignored her, not wanting to take my eyes off the stupid savages.
Well? Are you still not moved by His generosity and benevolence?
At that moment
Glory to Mon! shouted Married Man A, who was saved thanks to the Mons Teachings religion.
I thought he would be useless after his retirement, but he provided support beyond my expectations.
He even used his Faith.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Faith
? Rank: SS
? SSS: Seal heretics.
? SS: Punish heretics.
? S: Brainwash heretics.
? A: Find heretics.
? B: Recognize heretics.
? C: Resist brainwashing.
? D: Resist false preaching.
? E: Strengthen faith with prayers.
? F: Belief.
Faith was useless at its lower ranks, but fraudulent effects arose once it had leveled up.
Married Man As faith was SS-rank, which showed his sincere belief in Mons Teachings.
By the time he reached the capital of the Holy Empire, he was extremely pumped up.
Oh Long live Mons Teachings! Mon!
Mons Teachings It is the one true religion!
His skills S-rank effect quickly converted the heretics.
I didnt even need to interfere anymore.
Master Mons greatness quickly spread throughout the capital of the Holy Empire.
Because of Karma, heroes couldnt enjoy the same hospitality mercenaries did, but they were never neglected since they werent just mere weaklings either.
As a result, a magnificent sight unfolded before my eyes.
Married Man A, a hero who sincerely believed in the Mons Teachings, invaded the Imperial Pce of the Holy Empire, leading an armyposed of the opposing nations own citizens.
Stop him!
The Hero has gone insane!
Stop the Fallen Hero!
Guards! Guards!
Married Man As w was his low-rankedbat skills, which was the side effect of absorbing strong opponents experience points with the help of Brave to level up swiftly.
That still meant his level was impressive, though.
I followed the angry believers of Mon at a leisurely pace.
This was a good opportunity to learn about the politics and power structure of the Holy Empire.
Overthrow the false god!
For the glory of Mon!
Take up arms and gather under the g of Mon! There is no turning back now!
Forward! Everyone shall know and praise His glorious name!
Mon! Mon! Mon!
Mons followers marched unhesitatingly into the heart of the Imperial Pce.
Strange
way for everyone, their progress was still too fast.
The resistance was too weak, considering we were at the heart of the entire Holy Empire.
This ce served as the home of the Holy Empires emperor and royal family, which dominated the entire northern part of the Central Continent.
However, such a crucial ce had nowhere near enough soldiers and guards to defend it for some reason.
Where did they all go?
Maybe theyve given up and fled.
I shook my head, rejecting Ssosias hypothesis.
I knew better because I had be the emperor.
If the emperor escapes during a civil uprising, his reign wille to an end. Running away during such a tumultuous time, as you suggested, is tantamount to abandoning the empire altogether.
But this was absolutely not the case.
The Holy Empire was strong because of the royal familys pride and their long history.
What about the current emperor?
I didnt know if he was still sick like in the 4th curriculum, but the emperor was never soft-hearted.
He wouldnt abandon his throne.
BANG!
Soon, Married Man A mmed open the heavy doors of the throne room, revealing a sight that made me feel a bit nostalgic since, as Emperor of the Holy Mon Empire, I used this ce for quite some time.
At the far end of it, amotion was ongoing.
Daughter! What are you doing?
Im changing my country, father!
All the knights whose absence I noticed were here.
Standing alongside the Imperial Princess, they surrounded the emperor and his royal guards.
It was an incredible view.
But there was something more surprising than that.
? Race: Human
? Level: 274
? Job: Imperial Princess (Rank in the hierarchy = Attention )
? Skills: Faith SS, Charm S, Elegance A, Eternal Youth A, Politics A
? Status: Desire, Excited
Her status wasnt much different from what I remembered, except for one factor.
SS-rank Faith.
It was a high-level skill that she didnt have before.
Why did you abandon our God for that heretic cult called Mons Teachings? The emperor seemed more surprised by her new religion than her treason.
This is the best way to get rid of my older brother, your heir to the throne.
You
Mons Teachings made it easy for me to put the me for this whole ordeal on him. Like a low-grade viin, the princess smiled triumphantly and revealed all her ns.
Youre willing to destroy our family for the throne? How could you allow yourself tomit such a grave sin?
I had no choice! My brother wouldve killed me otherwise!
This is nonsense!
Lets continue thister, father. We have visitors.\''
The Imperial Princess decided to act.
Protect His Majesty!
In the name of Mon!
The two factions knights charged against each other.
The result of it was a foregone conclusion already, though.
Agh!-
Your Majesty?!
The princesss knights thrust their swords into the emperors body without mercy or hesitation.
Having lost their master, the royal guards of the Holy Empire threw down their weapons and surrendered, forgetting their duty to protect their country.
The Imperial Princess smiled brightly at the winning faction.
Allow me to sincerely wee you to my imperial pce, my fellow believers of Mons Teachings. It is thanks to all of you that my career advancement ns elerated.
Sly bitch.
Herbat power was the lowest among the Herospanions, but she was still the most dangerous of them all.
In order to be the Empress of the Holy Empire, she was ready to use any means and methods.
It was easy to read otherpanions who mindlessly rushed into battle regardless of reason, unlike her, who dealt with everything in a much moreplicated manner.
You killed your own father
Married Man A, possessing the sensitivity of earthlings, looked at the newly-made empress with surprise.
The princess sat on the throne nonchntly, replying, It is unfortunate, but my father was a heretic who refused to ept Mons Teachings. His death pains my heart, but it had to be done.
Saying this, the princess let an ostentatious tear fall from one of her eyes corners.
Dont mock Mons Teachings! Married Man A shouted.
Oh! My faith in Mons Teachings is stronger than anyone elses. Youre a hero, so you should be well aware of that, shouldnt you? The SS rank of my Faith is proof of that.
Faith is not everything. You cannot use His teaching for your own benefit! Mon is not a political instrument!
You attach too much importance to this.
I am merely telling the truth.
This is the only way to ensure the followers of Mons Teachings can live peacefully in the Holy Empire without fear of persecution. This is a fight for freedom.
That is just sophistry. He treats everyone equally, and heretics are no exception. Why are you not aware of that despite iming to be an ardent admirer of Mon?
The newly-made empress and the retired Hero began to argue about the correct interpretation of the doctrines.
It wasnt even funny.
They dared argue about this while standing in front of me, the first apostle of Mons Teachings?
However, I couldnt reveal my identity.
Everyone knew the legend about the Prophet, who spread the word of Grand Master Mon. He defeated the Demon Lord but fell under his curse, bing the new Demon Lord.
However, that didnt mean there was no way out.
Master Mon.
Mon?
A rainbow slime peeped out of Ssosias vile chest.
Silence! Master Mon himself will exin what his wisdom truly means in a way that would allow lowly beings to understand!
Ah!
Oh my God!
Woah!
Surprised exmations echoed across the throne room.
Regaining their senses, Mons followers immediately fell to the ground.
Not even the Hero and the Imperial Princess were exceptions.
Please teach and train your arrogant believers, Master Mon!
Mon? Mon~
Loyal followers! As you have heard, he dered that he would reward everyone equally!
Hmmm?
Oh?
It seemed that only I understood the deep meaning of Master Mons words.
Tsk. Praise and pray for His holy name even if your minds cantprehend his doctrine. Understanding wille with time.
Ah! Mon!
Mon!
Today, history was made as Mons Teachings became the Holy Empires state religion!
***
In this round, where ssmate A became Married Man A, I reaped a bountiful harvest. The Holy Empire pursued Mons followers, and the Imperial Princess was one of them.
Information was power.
I took advantage of the situation immediately.
All my copies wrote and mailed letters that said, Imperial Princess, I know your secret.
Upon receiving the letter, she was left no choice but to cooperate.
I wasnt doing too bad.
Cowardly husband.
What?
Karma has already done its job. If you also interfere, the heroes will go crazy altogether.
That just means theyll retire earlier.
A heros adventures were optional.
If it was hard for them, they could just give up and start a family, like what Married Man A did.
And they would have children.
The day the MAX-ss Demon Lord and the cowardly Second Demon would rule the Fantasy dimension was near!
Until next time, Kang Han Soo!
Married Man A, havingpleted his mission as a faithful follower of Mon, retired and focused on his life with his wife.
It wasnt just him. Many heroes who visited the Holy Empire abandoned their hopes and dreams.
They had no other option, after all!
Only a few female heroes rescued Prince A and helped him defeat the Imperial Princess.
For the Holy Mon Empire!
Glory of Mon be praised!
Mon! Mon! Mon!
The state, now named Holy Mon Empire, quickly stabilized under the rule of the new empress.
All this took about three years, starting from the moment the Hero was summoned.
In other words, if Prince A wasnt saved and the Imperial Princess was not stopped within three years, the heroes wouldnt even be able to get to the northern part of the central continent.
Unless they were a follower of Mon, that was.
This will cause my aunt a lot of problems.
Because the old Holy Empire no longer exists?
Yes. It was the only country that believed in her.
The Holy Empire, praising the First Angel, had sunk into the history of Fantasy.
I liked this oue.
I wonder how shell react to that.
? Sudden Appearance: Cadet Kang Han Soo! I learned the results of the teaching staff meeting. Changes will take ce in all educational dimensions soon!
Thank you for letting me know, beautiful and smart Trainee Teacher! Is this about the skill that will bnce Karma?
? Denial: Unfortunately, the skill wont be implemented anymore since it will confuse the skill system.
It wasnt that the system would be confused. They just couldnt add the skill itself.
Haha! Thats right! My aunt is incapable of building skills.
Create spatial transference magic so we can escape already, my cowardly wife.
Im sorry
Im sorry for you too.
As Ssosia said, it was just an excuse to hide the fact that they couldnt add their own skills.
However, it looked like they finally took some action.
? Problem: I think its better to see the results of their decision in person than to listen to my exnation.
Why?
? Exnation: Take a look at the students.
I decided to check up on the heroes, as Trainee Teacher suggested.
Married Man A
Dad, what are you doing?
Im oveing my limits.
What?
I am trying to be an invincible hero who will protect my beautiful princess. Pre! Oh! Do! Letha! Pre! Del!
Hehehe, youre so silly, dad.
He was trying to acquire a Z-rank skill.
It wasnt only Married Man A.
Except forplete beginners, the heroes didnt hesitate to sacrifice their skills to gain Z-rank skills.
Why was that?
Oh! I see the problem now. She removed the skill reset feature.
The system rules had been changed in such a way that allowed the skills to be retained even after regressing.
If they couldnt add a new skill, they decided to remove existing features instead.
It was a nice countermeasure against Karma, which put more pressure on heroes the more they regressed.
However
Didnt they expect that I, the MAX-ss Demon Lord, who used to be a hero, would also regain my skills?
In the 1st round, after ten years of suffering from thepanions who interfered with my adventures as the Righteous Hero, I trained pretty hard.
Honestly, even at the end of the adventure, I didnt have a single MAX-ranked skill, let alone transcendental, but I did have a lot of rare skills because I gradually developed them without the power of the ck box.
And they were all bnced.
That was what was most important.
Auntie What the hell have you done
Looks like we wont be bored in the foreseeable future, cowardly wife.
The heroes mastered many transcendental skills and rushed to the Demon Lords castle with high hopes and dreams.
However, they would soon understand That they werent the only ones that had their seals broken.
Wee, Heroes.
The vile power of friendship.
The vicious power of love.
Regression experiences.
The fraudulent ck box.
And an automatic sword.
The power that defeated the Demon Lord Pedonar with ease
I was about to engrave it beautifully into their hearts, mind, body, soul, and bones.
Chapter 282 - [18th Round] Ugh!
Chapter 282 - [18th Round] Ugh!
Hero Fiona from France.
Of course, Fiona wasnt her real name, but a fictitious one she used for her new life in Fantasy.
Having mixed Latin-vic blood, she was often praised as a living doll since her younger years. In middle school and high school, people often said she was like a British princess.
Having enough of it, however, she grumbled, Ugh! Why couldnt they say I was better than the British princess?
Who do you mean by British princess, Lady Fiona?
Her expression softened at the question from the handsome man.
Victoria A woman who considers herself the best.
That is extremely arrogant. You shouldntpare yourself to her.
Huh? Why? Fiona shivered, feeling humiliated.
The handsome guy then gave an answer that melted her feminine heart.
We gathered here for the sake of Lady Fiona and not for the sake of world peace. We dont care about princesses. We only want to help you.
Companions crowded around Fiona.
But there were only two women in their party. Hero Fiona and the Saintess.
The rest were men diverse in age, appearance, clothing, and job.
Thank you, Behel. Having her spirits lifted, Fiona smiled gratefully at him.
Im just telling the truth. Ahem! Its time, Hero. The final battle lies ahead.
Yes! Follow me, Fiona said, looking at the Demon Lords castle.
She felt like a squeezed-out lemon due to her inability to realize that getting to the Demon Lords castle could be so difficult.
The 4th curriculum was tough.
Due to theck of a normal diet and food, she suffered from menstrual problems.
She had to fight against such womanly issues right in the open air while traveling or somewhere in the dungeons. Fortunately, she got used to it over the years.
Hero Fiona? What are you thinking about?
Ah! Excuse me. I just remembered a past adventure
5th curriculum was far morefortable inparison.
She didnt know how it happened, flush toilets suddenly ran rampant across the continents, and with its proliferation, the quality of life on Fantasy improved markedly.
She was so d when she saw such inventions that she burst into tears.
But her happiness didntst long.
The skill Karma had appeared, and it ranked up every time heroes regressed.
Because of it, her journey had be unbearable.
The advantage of knowing future events after regressing was made obsolete.
As the heroes reputation decreased, the attitude of local residents towards them also changed.
Since the same situation led to different results, knowing what would happen in the foreseeable future offered little to no help at all.
Everything was different now, however.
? Race: Special Person
? Level: 999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Charm Z, Sword Mastery Z, Magic Z
? Status: Anticipation, Satisfaction
She had acquired three transcendental skills.
Although her overall skillposition had be somewhat unbnced due to the donation of all of her high-ranked skills, she grew confident that no one could beat her.
? Tip: Do not look down on the Demon Lord, apprentice Fiona. Arrogance is said to precede death. Be vignt until youve decapitated his head.
Uh-huh, Fiona replied with a smile to her importunate Teacher Morals.
As strong as the Demon Lord Parmamon was, she didnt care.
Every time she regressed, her skills returned.
That alone made a huge difference.
She had spent 80 years in the world of Fantasy.
She hadnt finished training yet since her skills were reset every time she regressed, making it impossible for her to bnce them properly.
But now?
I have 80 years of adventure behind me~?
Teacher Morals said that if she went on an adventure and practiced the power of love and friendship, then after five years, shed be able to easily defeat the Demon Lord.
But she already spent 80 years doing that!
Logically speaking, she could no longer be defeated.
Of course, she still prepared herself and steeled her will.
Among herpanions were three Brave users.
If the Demon Lord were stronger than expected, they would activate their jobs effect, lowering her opponents level to level 1.
You wont get through- Huh?!
Fiona easily dodged the demons attack and fought back.
In front of her was the Grand Duke of Demons, considered the second most powerful after the Demon Lord himself, but he wasnt worthy to be her opponent.
Based on your abilities, I can approximate his current strength Fiona said calmly.
Was it because of the suffering she went through over the past 80 years?
She was extremely worried, but it seemed to be in vain.
If the Demon Lord were only slightly stronger than the Grand Duke, even he wouldntst long against her might.
Bang!
On the castles top floor, Fiona opened the gate at the end of the hallway and confidently entered the throne room.
Finally! Finally!
She strode forward vigorously, looking forward to the moment shed deliver the final blow to end the Demon Lords reign.
Demon Lord Parmamon! Prepare yourself! Today is the day you fall at the hands of Hero Fiona!
Oh, of course, whenever youre ready.
The Demon Lord, previously sitting motionlessly on his throne, slowly rose to his feet.
Huh?
Fiona immediately felt goosebumps w up her spine upon checking his stats.
? Race: United Spirit of Fantasy
? Level: 999+
? Job: Demon Lord (Hero Level )
? Skills: Dark Energy Z, Sword Mastery SSS, Strength SSS, Resistance SSS, Evasion SSS
? Status: Demon Sword, Blessing, Empowerment, Amulet
Apart from his job, everything else about him was unusual.
Was it because he was a fallen hero in this new scenario?
He was strikingly different from the First Demon she knew. Was he even a demon at all?
His level and job were normal.
Seeing that there was a Z-rank among his skills, Fiona clicked her tongue.
If I didnt have transcendental skills, this fight wouldve been nigh-impossible.
Her reality was different now, however.
She had surpassed him in terms of skills alone.
She also had manypanions around me.
On the other hand, the Demon Lord was alone. No, a naked flower fairy was sitting on his head.
However, she didnt increase hisbat power.
Have you finished checking my stats?
Was that also because of his background as a fallen hero?
He knew she could view his information about him.
Fiona didnt move.
I dont know why, but my instincts whisper that I must study him more closely.
Hero Fiona changed her abilitys setting to Examine in Detail.
At that moment
Braaauuurffghhh!
She showed everyone what she ate during the day.
Lady Hero?!
Mistress Fiona?!
Her surprisedpanions called out to her, but she, covering her face with both hands, couldnt answer.
Looks like youre done, Demon Lord Parmamon said with augh.
***
For the first time in a long time, I could enjoy the sensations I felt during my first round.
My actual body was already strong as it was, so I felt it less, but it was different for my copy that only had Dark Energy Z.
My strength had increased several times.
Simr skills of mine also ovepped andplemented each other, forming a good synergy.
? Race: United Spirit of Fantasy
? Level: 999+
? Job: Demon Lord (Hero Level )

Skills: Dark Energy Z, Sword Mastery SSS, Strength SSS, Resistance SSS, Evasion SSS, Annihtion SSS, Ambition SSS, Sixth Sense SSS, Frenzy SSS, Muscle Strength SSS, Grab SSS, Darkness SSS, Command SSS, Mobility SSS, Spection SSS, Bleed SSS, Five Senses SSS, Escape SSS, Dignity SSS, Assassination SSS, Reign SSS, Divination SSS, Demon ying SSS, Martial Arts SSS, Siege SSS, Massacre SSS, Fall SSS, Shield Mastery SSS, Judgment SSS, Vitality SSS, Pride SSS, Empowerment SSS, Morale SSS, Hearing SSS, Physical Skills SSS, Spiritual Skills SSS, Spiritual Body SSS, Indomitable SSS, Breakthrough SSS, Obliterate SSS, Lunge SSS, Search SSS, Rebuild SSS, Curse SSS, Fortitude SSS, Lightning SSS, Overbearing Aura SSS, Wind SSS,Crush SSS, Valor SSS, Earth SSS, Fire SSS, Enemy Detection SSS, Defense SSS, Cooperation SSS, Disguise SSS, ying Dragons SSS, Surveince SSS, Patience SSS, Bondage SSS, Underwater Breathing SSS, Concentration SSS, Awakening SSS, Fortification SSS, Haste SSS, Mercy SSS, Pursuit SSS, Endurance SSS, Counterattack SSS, Battle Cry SSS, Steelskin SSS, ughter SSS, Duress SSS, Two-handed Weapon Mastery SSS, Trap Setting SSS, Pration SSS, Poison Use SSS, Rest SSS, Magic SSS, Light SSS, Debuff SSS, Archery SSS, Blessing SSS, Destruction SSS, uracy SSS, Composure SSS , Strike SSS, Reason SSS, Stealth SSS, Javelin Throw SSS, Taunt SSS, Engrave SSS, Subtlety SSS, Swim SSS,Spirit SSS, ckmail SSS, Dark Energy Resistance SSS, Conquest SSS, Recon SSS, Dive SSS, Passion SSS, Craft SSS, Perspective SSS, Combine SSS, Anger SSS, Speed SSS, Armor SSS, Blunt Weapon Mastery SSS, Survival SSS, Luck SSS, Dual de Mastery SSS, Willpower SS
? Status: Demon Sword, Blessing, Empowerment, Amulet, Engraving, Ascension, Fortify, Inspire, Haste, Luck, Protection, Superiority, Charge, Safety Net, Guardian, Synergy
If I were asked to get all these skills again and raise their ranks, I would never be able to do it.
There are skills that could only be learned in a specific situation, setting, or even through defeat. The 1st round, when I still had a sense of hopelessness and despair, when everything around me seemed unfamiliar and frightening, was perfect for this.
? Understanding: Now I understand the feeling of loss you felt after regressing
Thank you forforting me, Trainee Teacher! Your beauty applies both to your body and soul!
But I got it over with.
When I thought I had lost everything after regressing, I realized that the teachings of Master Mon were preserved in my memories.
Mon was my light.
My salvation.
My guiding star.
Hey! Hero and her dummies, what do you believe in? Love, friendship, courage, miracles, hope, determination? Anything will do. Show me the power of your faith.
Aaaaagghhhh!
Raaaaaaa!
To battle!
Fiona, who still couldnt open her eyes as she was still trying to rationalize the truth, was left behind. Herpanions rushed forward with a cry.
Even if they couldnt view other peoples stats, their eyes and instincts were honed and trained to determine whether they were stronger than the enemy or not, but it seemed that they relied too much on the Hero.
They didnt even lower my level to 1, although there were Brave users among them.
Die.
FSHSHSH!
I unleashed my domineering aura, whichbined the effects of about 34 skills, and those who couldnt resist it grabbed their chest and fell.
Their cause of death was cardiac arrest, making their weak minds evident.
And the rest
FASHUH!
I used the Demon Sword to strike an area with an attack thatbined the effects of about 196 skills.
Hes too strong
Youre too weak. It wouldve been nice if mypanions were as weak as you.
Mypanions in the 1st round were powerful.
It was true that many died during my adventures, but it didnt matter since the rest of them grew stronger.
Especially
The Sword Princess.
Elf Queen.
Sage.
Mercenary King.
Thest four were the strongest.
The Saintesses from the Northern, Central, and Southern Continents werent among our ranks back then. Hence, they couldnt count on a fraudulent resurrection.
And I took the opportunity to kill them with a surprise attack.
And now
Combined with my USF race and the Z-rank Dark Energy, I was even stronger.
Teacher! Teacher! Answer me! This is apletely different scenario than what you told me! How can I ever defeat this monster?!
Fiona, left alone, began to desperately mutter to himself.
Teacher?
Was she asking Teacher Morals for help? Ha
Demon Lord Parmamon! I must apologize! Im really sorry! It looks like Ive lost my way! Please spare me! Because of Karma, I
I was growing tired of hearing her screams.
Her head, filled with tears, snot, and drool, rolled across the cold floor.
Sorry, young miss. I have many other clients.
In the neighboring dimension, Great Duke B fell, filtering out the weak heroes in the process.
Drug Demon Lord, its time to get to work! Heeheehee.
Yeah.
There were many heroes before us that needed to be taught a lesson.
Chapter 283 - [17th Round] Registration
Chapter 283 - [17th Round] Registration
Cowardly husband, what kind of life did you live for ten years for it to result in almost all of yourbat skills reaching SSS-rank? asked Ssosia, hiding behind the throne in stealth mode, like a GM in an MMO game.
I couldnt help butugh at her query. What a stupid question!
I diligently upgraded my skills ranks.
While mypanions increased the power of their love and friendship, celebrating the fact that there were more widows in the world all night long, I constantly trained, highlighting low-ranked skills and pondering how to improve their proficiency in the shortest possible time.
My goal was to upgrade all of my skills to SSS rank.
Because, as I had learned over time, MAX-rank and SSS-rank skills had the same effects.
Z-rank was out of the question.
I needed to be stronger than mypanions.
And not just stronger than one of them. I improved my skills so much that even if they united and attacked me together, they wouldnt be able to win.
Is that even possible?
Why wouldnt it be?
Heroes had a 5x experience boost perk.
Hence, it only took me about four years to catch up and overtake even thosepanions who had improved their skills and level since childhood.
The Sword Princess, for example.
She learned how to use the sword from a really young age. Calcting the numbers, she had been training for 25 years already.
Under the same conditions, it would take me about five years to do what the Sword Princess did.
But I didnt really need that much time.
Because of your talent for murder?
No.
Where would an awkward high school student, who couldnt even hurt insects, gain such a talent?
Oh, I see! So you were a high school student who killed monsters because bugs didnt give you experience!
The First Spirit began spouting nonsense after listening to me silently.
Youre out of your mind. There are no monsters on Earth.
Lying is bad, Drug Demon Lord. It is impossible to deceive the noblest and wisest First Spirit.
If you dont believe me, ask my mother through a smartphone No, its better if you dont. You wont hear anything good from her anyway.
Lets do it! Ill make sure to ask! Heeheehee!
Shut up!
In any case, before her adventures with the Hero, the Sword Princess did more than just train during those 25 years.
She ate, went to the toilet, slept, had fun
She had 25 years of experience, but she waszy and slow, resulting in her spending even less time on her training.
If the Hero actively used their job features, theyd be able to catch up with the Sword Princess in 2 years.
Considering it would take another year to surpass her, the total time needed to defeat her would be three years.
Only that long?
Well, in theory. It actually took a lot longer for me since mypanions kept hindering my development.
There were times when they refused to let me turn criminals into experience points and instead let them go.
They also took away my trophies, which I collected despite the difficulty, and gave them away to robbers that imed they were the real owners of my possessions.
That wasnt all!
I always had to clean up after mypanions.
I had no choice but to do so.
Those insane psychopaths just dropped everything and left with happy faces after quenching their thirst for blood, saying that today was a good day.
Thats because they only look forward and do not regret the past.
Thats just empty and worthless sophistry.
The locals often simply eximed, Thank you for saving us! Thanks to you, we can be happy!
It was all because they feared mass murderers that killed people with smiles on their faces.
Arent those all just your delusions?
Are you saying Im scary too?
Imagine how the weak residents would feel if they heard you.
My goal was to improve my mastery of martial skills.
But since mypanions interfered, even skills that I had no use for increased.
Politics, Economics, Engineering, Hygiene, Beautification, Religion, Art, Education
Almost all skills, except production, reached at least SS-rank.
In the end, since it took a lot of time to clean up after my party members, Not only mybat skills improved.
Crazy.
How can you call your MAX-ss husband crazy?
No matter how hard I think about it, it still sounds insane.
Having said this, Ssosia suddenly pressed her chest against my back and threw her arms around me.
Then she rested her head on my shoulder.
What are you doing?
Cant you feel your damaged soul healing?
No. My soul is absolutely healthy.
Hes just pretending to be strong. Heehee.
You should just shut up forever!
? Appearance: I agree that cadet Kang Han Soo is insane.
Agh! Trainee Teacher broke my very heart!
I felt so sad that I probably needed a heating pad tofort me tonight.
? Surprise: I meant that you are too immersed in your work! You may not like the students, but youre not the Hero anymore. Youre the Demon Lord. Do not overwork yourself and rest. Even if the others are against it, I give you permission to do so.
Trainee Teacher promised that she would take responsibility for my life.
I was touched!
I needed to write this day down as our engagement anniversary.
? Confusion: You seem to have misunderstood me! Engagement, huh Gosh. A beautiful and wise girl like Ssosia suits you better. Someone like me will never be able topete with her.
Dont be so shy!
Cowardly husband, if you want to seduce the innocent Trainee Teacher and make her as unhappy as I am, then you better give up. I will not let you-
My niece is even more adorable when shes jealous~
Auntie, cant you see the look on my face right now? Im more serious than ever.
Youre even cuter when you try to deny everything to hide your feelings~
Agh! Damn it!
Heeheehee!
Since mypanions prevented me from getting stronger, it took me ten whole years to aplish my goals.
But I was lucky.
If the Saintess and the Sword King didnt die due to an ident, I wouldnt even have dared.
Looking around, the corpses of the Z-ranked Hero and herpanions were lying on the cold hard floor.
How pathetic.
Overall, theirbat ability was higher than my partys in the 1st round, but thebat power they could utilize left a lot to be desired.
As expected, after the death of the Hero, Fantasy began to copse.
I had lost track of how many times this had happened now.
Im tired of everything.
I was a civilized person who loved the world and smartphones.
However, the endless stream of heroes kept destroying my peace.
I knew the reason behind it all too well, too.
Grand Duke B, the middle boss I used to filter out the weak, was too weak himself.
I needed to deal with this problem quickly.
Demon Lord Parmamon! I am the Hero of the Light Huh?!
Be one with the light, then.
Now I didnt even listen to the heroes greetings. The oue remained the same anyway.
As soon as they entered the throne room, they were immediately greeted by my skills.
If the opponent survived by some miracle, theyd have earned themselves an additional 0.1 seconds to live.
They tried their best to get here, cowardly hubby. Dont you think its too disrespectful to kill them right on your doorstep? Ssosia reproached me, who had been sitting quietly before because she had lost against her aunt in a verbal skirmish.
Nonsense! Was there ever a hero that came to me whoined about anything at all?
If my memory served me right, there were none. That meant they were perfectly okay with it!
You killed them before they could say anything!
Not my problem.
If the Hero, as Ssosia said, was dissatisfied with something, they needed to tell me before they died. They only had themselves to me if they couldnt even do that.
Youll most likely die without being able to say any final words to your mother.
What?
Check your smartphone. You havent picked it up for such a long time that youre not even aware that your moms angry.
Give that to me!
Since I was distracted, the Hero threw his spear at me, but it didnt bother me much.
Why was mother angry?
Many different reasons came to mind, so it was hard to say.
a衤Mother: My son, so dearly beloved by the princess, where have you gone? (8:42)
a衤Mother: It looks like youre in no rush to answer this time. (7:52)
a衤Mother: Did something happen to you? (15:06)
Damn it! I made her worry.
Once the opportunity presented itself, I had to tell her that even the wholebined was weaker than me.
a衤Mother: My daughter-inw checked your smartphone history. (9:32)
Hmm?
a衤Mother: So romance novels are more important to you than your own mother? (9:34)
Romance novels?
a衤Mother: Hmph. Do whatever you want. (10:14)
a衤Mother: My second son is now more important to me. (10:14)
A photo was attached in thest post.
In it, she was kissing the cheek of an ugly two-year-old child.
Ssosia, Im waiting for an exnation!
I think there was a daughter-inw involved. Shes certainly no ordinary person.
Thats not what Im talking about. Romance novels. Exin. Now.
Since I cant confirm my age, its impossible to read them, so I used your ount instead Wait! I also have something to say!
Speak.
She should worry about her body.
Mother wont stop being angry at you even if you vent your anger out on me.
But I will stop being angry.
I hugged Ssosias waist to keep her from moving.
I wondered if she was ready.
I hoped so.
I admit, I did not expect that the daughter-inw your mother praises so much is so powerful that she can easily ess other peoples personal data. However, isnt there a more important problem to solve right now?
She was right, but what could I do?
While I was digging through my smartphone, three more copies of mine fell.
No matter how powerful the skills one had, such abilities would be of no use if they didnt move.
I couldnt dy any longer.
A graduate might appear this way.
And if at least one student graduated from the 5th educational program, they would be able to return to Earth to talk about how they defeated the Demon Lord Parmamon.
That fact itself wasnt the problem.
The problem would arise if they found out that the Demon Lord was called Kang Han Soo.
At that point, my family on Earth might be put in harms way.
Therefore, I had to prevent them from getting past me.
It was necessary to make sure that there wouldnt be a single graduate.
? Whisper: The students you mentioned failed to graduate. Their Reputation and Achievement scores were too low. You dont have to worry too much about them.
Those werent the only reasons, were they?
? Shrugging: Youre right, cadet Kang Han Soo. They cant graduate if their body is badly damaged. Hence, even if they win, theyd still be the defeated ones in the end.
I had a lot of advantages regarding that due to my long list of skills, some of which had a beneficial effect that activated in any situation.
I had a skill that made my body explode after death and another that put me in a berserk state when critically injured. Those werent all.
The list was long.
I didnt even need to control my copies. My skills alone killed the heroes.
However, there was a limit to how many times they would work.
We need to hurry.
I wouldnt be surprised if a graduate soon appeared after sessfully defeating the MAX-ss Demon Lord.
We urgently needed toe up with a solution.
Let me go and listen calmly to my idea, cowardly husband. I cant concentrate in this position.
Ill listen first, and if I like your idea, Ill let you go.
Let go of me first.
Later.
Now.
Later.
You- Ouch! Okay okay! Ill speak first! Ill rece the current middle boss with an even stronger one!
Any passing slime could say such words.
Is that your whole n, Ssosia?
If so, then I was extremely disappointed
Thats just the beginning of my exnation. Previously, this was not possible, but now that I have taken over a significant part of the system, I can add your subjects to the textbook.
Ah
Human Spirits.
Chapter 284 - [18th Round] The Power of the Demon Lord
Chapter 284 - [18th Round] The Power of the Demon Lord
The spirits you bind to Fantasy wont be able to return anymore. Keep my warning in mind and think it over carefully.
Are you saying the First Angel can get her hands on them?
Only if we lose control of the system. If that happens, well be her puppets anyway, so its better not to think about it.
Indeed
She was right. Wasting time pondering about it was pointless.
Have you decided?
Yeah.
Boris! Come to me!
Ive been feeling that your affection and interest in me had been gradually weakening after you got married, but I didnt think youd decide to get rid of mepletely. This upsets me. The most beautiful exorcist said upon her appearance.
Im sorry. I decided to apologize first. I, myself, didnt expect my father-inw to foist his cowardly daughter on me.
I was also a victim, but I knew that it wouldnt be enough of an excuse for Boris, who had been faithful to me, albeit having been isted in silence.
In addition, she alone wouldnt be able to stop the heroes and theirpanions due to the presence of Brave in their party.
No matter how good ones stats were, if they werent Mons Apostle, dropping to level 1 would severely limit them.
What I had to do in this case was simple.
My cowardly wife would solve this problem.
Ssosia put in so much effort to monopolize my love with her nasty jealousy.
I have never been jealous of another woman because of him!
Lying is bad, my niece~
Because of your stupidity, auntie, this cowardly traitor is turning everything inside out!
Traitor?
Why are you trying so hard to deny it? How cute! Heeheehee!
Ugh Why do you only be discerning in moments like this when youre always ying the fool, auntie?
Because its funny! Heeheehee!
Ssosia had finally admitted that she was jealous of other women even when her handsome MAX-ss husband was only just talking to them.
She covered her flushed, embarrassed face with both hands.
It makes no sense for me to be jealous. I will always be the second
Thats not true.
Any other female, except for the first, couldnt be loved more than the second.
This was my attempt to express love in numbers:
1st ce: 50
2nd ce: 10
3rd ce: 9.9
4th ce: 9.9
5th ce: 9.9
6th ce: 9.9
Maybe something like this.
Ssosia, who was crazy about me, was expecting an ideal picture like this:
1st ce: 50
2nd ce: 49.9
3rd ce: 0.0001
In other words, her superficial logic, based on the premise that she supposedly had no reason to be jealous because she would always be the second, was wrong.
Well? Do you want to argue?
Youre right, but do not forget that the opposite is also possible.
What she hinted at was quite predictable:
1st ce: 99.9
2nd ce: 0.01
3rd ce:?
If she, forever in second ce, renounced her love for me, causing hatred
I would forever love only one woman.
However
So?
My mother loved my father, who helped her with the housework.
And my father unconditionally loved only my mother.
It wasnt such a bad concept.
The woman you love can hate you. If that happens, youll have to be a eunuch Anyway, enough about this!
It may be a lie, but it makes you nervous.
If she wanted to close the topic, then she shouldve shared the solution to the problem!
Ahem I will divide Boris into four primordial personalities to make it easier to fight Brave.
Using your naughty fingers again?
Shut up!
I observed how Ssosia manipted the system.
The First Angel, my aunt, controls time, and the First Demon controls space. I can give you simple examples. Thanks to my auntie, time in dimensions of Fantasy flows ten times slower, and heroes regress after death. The Demon Lord is responsible for the basis of the level and skill system. It provides the soul with a vessel (space) that can be filled and store power.
So Im responsible for everyones stats?
Yes.
After Ssosias exnation, I raised a reasonable question.
If, as you say, the stats of all living beings is generated by my power, then why cant I manipte their levels and skills at will?
Because it is an artificial force.
You said it was the Demon Lords power.
This demoness was trying to powder my brains!
Maintaining artificial strength is a separate issue. Imagine were in a grocery store. No matter how much food you put there, you wont be able to eat it if it rots. However, because my aunt freezes time in space, skills are maintained. She essentially transfers perishable food from the pantry to the freezer.
My cowardly wife was clearly a graduate of the University of El Mndo, the homnd of Master Mon. She was good at exiningplicated concepts inymans terms.
If only she werent jealous.
Thats enough!
I didnt say anything.
It was her own fault. I didnt force her to rummage in her husbands head, after all.
Demon Lord Power = Storage (Space)
Skills = Food
First Angel Power = Freeze (Time)
Storage + Freeze = Freezer (Stats)
In other words, abilities here in Fantasy resulted from the coboration of the Demon Lord and the First Angel.
The system wouldnt exist if one of them were missing.
So what about Boris?
Youbined four souls to create one powerful entity, right?
Yeah.
She was the fusion of Spirit 1, Spirit 2, Spirit 3, and Spirit 4.
You and your weird names Anyway, she normally cant be disassembled and separated. The souls mergedpletely, thus creating an entirely new being. Things are different now, however. Youre the Demon Lord who rules over space. You can divide space itself to disconnect the spirits from each other.
I see!
I thought the Demon Lord position was just trash with a lot of Dark Energy, but it turned out to be quite fraudulent.
Give it a try.
Okay.
I focused.
Reality felt different now.
Everything had changed.
My consciousness expanded after Ssosia brought to my awareness that I could control space.
She should have told me this useful information earlier!
Boris, the Human Spirit with angelic wings and prominent breasts, was a single soul.
At least she was before.
Not anymore. I knew how she was created.
The outlines of the souls thatposed her existence became visible.
Elven male, human male, elven woman, and a female angel. They were now tightly linked.
Breaking their ties would separate them into four entities, regaining their former selves.
Wasnt that too boring, though?
Boris.
I will ept any decision you make, sir. Do not worry. This is the price I have to pay for shattering Mistress Ssosias monopoly on your love and for making her jealous.
You are a really good girl.
Ssosia should learn from her.
Enough of this nonsense! Why am I being portrayed as a viin?! And why am I being portrayed as a cowardly wife trying with all her might to win her husbands love and affection?!
Heehee! My niece still looks cute while burying herself further into this mess~
Ah
I left Ssosia alone after she had said too much and activated the Demon Lords power.
The principle was simple.
Soul, experience, skills.
I just had to separate those three concepts and put them in the right bodies.
They shall be known as the Four Celestial Lords.
I would even invent a legend for them.
And what do you n on calling them individually? King A, King B, King C, and King D?
Pfft! Just shut up and watch.
Using my smartphone, I went to a website with games popr on Earth.
And Copy, paste!
Lord of Legends: Yasuho
Lord of Betrayal: Hanjo
Lord of Death: Silvaras
Lord of Steel: 2D
I cant believe you gave them real names, but I feel like you did it half-assedly.
Just listen for now. They each have their own legend, after all.
Yasuho was a male elf.
He was a master of the sword, moving around the battlefield like the wind.
Since he was a former hero, he knew how to wield the Holy Swords properly, but he didnt yet have one.
Demon Lord, I am deeply grateful to you for resurrecting me, but I feel strange. Whenever I see my wife, I get the urge to kiss her feet.
Thats because you are your wifes faithful ve.
Huh? Did I hear that wrong?
No, you heard everything correctly.
Hanjo was a female angel.
She was a markswoman with a dragon tattoo.
The site stated that she was a man with tattoos all over his body, but I was toozy to change her too much, so Ipromised and left the tattoos alone.
It seems to me that you grewzy in choosing the tattoos as well. No matter how anyone looks at it, my tattoo depicts not a dragon but a snake. And my weapon isnt even a bow. Its a spear.
Do you want me to turn you into a man?
Thank you for my wonderful body, Demon Lord! Everything about it suits my taste!
Well, feel free to shut up then.
Silvaras was a female elf.
Her defeat at the hands of the Hero and her subsequent submission even corresponded to her real version.
For her devotion, I bestowed upon her outstanding breasts and a ve husband.
Sir, I dont know how to express my gratitude to you for fulfilling my wishes.
Im d you liked it.
I shall live a delightful life with my husband, whoughed at my chest all his life and turned me into a weapon after death.
I wish you happiness. Mon.
2D was a female android.
She wasnt a huge mech, but a beautiful roboticdy who loved a little boy and fought for the glory of humanity.
Equipped with the strength of Brave, she was nigh-invincible.
How could a level 1 human hope to defeat an android in an equal fight?
Kang Han Soo! Fix me now!
Boris, I admit, I didnt make you the ck blindfold the original had, but if you insist, I can fix it for you.
Its not about my outfit! Why am I a woman? You didnt even make me a human!
Well, considering the reference I used for your body
Youre insane! You could have chosen a male member of the human race as the source! I was a prince! A prince!
Boris was indeed the true son of the First Hero, but shortly before he became my subject, he was an android maid.
I just went along with this scenario.
Besides
Im not going to redo everything. Its too hot.
Then I refuse to cooperate!
Thats just impossible. You are equipped with a code that would make you kill your beloved little boy once I gave the order.
You have nopassion at all
Thoseints should be directed to the authors of their references.
But I have good news for you. Ive added a retractable Holy Sword for you. Its thickness and length can be adjusted as desired, and it is strong enough to be able to pierce through any gates.
Go to hell!
Boris seemed so certain that I gave him the female android body to mock him, but he was greatly mistaken.
It was simply the best choice for his Brave job.
I turned him into a woman because Boris, during his lifetime, was an android woman.
It was all about properly synchronizing data.
Boris, if you want, I will make you a male human.
Do it now!
But if you get raped by the first Female Hero youe across, dont get mad at me.
What is this nonsense?
Check your stats.
What about it Tsk!
? Race: Beautiful Android
? Level: 500
? Job: Brave (All around = Level 1)
? Skills: Cleaning S, Laundry S, Cooking S, Grooming S, Sewing S
? Status: Modification, Surprise
Lord of Steel 2D was all about exterminating the Heros party using a fraudulentbination of race and job.
The skills Brave didnt need were transferred to the other three Celestial Lords, leaving Boris with production, economic, and housekeeping skills instead.
If I made a male human out of him, a level 500 servant, he would be nothing more than just walking experience points.
If his enemy were a female hero, maybe his life would be spared.
So what do you say, Boris?
You nned this from the beginning!
How rude. If I were so cruel, I wouldnt have armed you with a retractable holy sword to release all your grievances with.
You cant deceive me.
God! You just cant seem to understand your power and potential.
The Lord of Steel would be the most terrifying creature, trampling over the love and friendship of all heroes.

Ssosia, ce them in all dimensions.
The time hade to plunge all of humanity into despair.
Wait a minute, cowardly husband, are you really nning to carry out the n to kill all the heroes? Isnt it too cruel?
What was my jealous wife talking about? Wasnt she the one who suggested this herself?
All for the glory of Mon.
Hopes and dreams were born from despair or was it? Whatever, I didnt care.
Chapter 285 - [18th Round]Brave Rookie
Chapter 285 - [18th Round]Brave Rookie
After Ssosia tweaked the system, the Four Celestial Lords were assigned to all of Fantasys training centers.
Like other beings, they became stronger the higher the education course they were in: elementary, secondary, or tertiary.
There was another advantage their existence brought me.
Previously, my copies had to personally write letters to Alex and the Imperial Princess.
But I no longer needed to do this.
My subjects began to do this work instead of my copies.
Essentially, the amount of work I could do at once had quadrupled.
Not four, but five times. My husband seems to have forgotten how to count.
And you seem to be having trouble thinking critically, my wife. I shouldnt be part of the count.
With the decrease in the activity of my copies, my mental fatigue also decreased.
And this was very important.
After all, it meant that I could fight at any moment and bring forth my maximum power.
If the director, suddenly sensing danger, decided to fight me, I would be in perfect condition andpletely prepared to answer her challenge.
But this didnt mean that I would rest all this time.
Greetings, Hero. I am an archaeologist who has long surpassed Lanuvel in all aspects, and this is my cowardly wife. I know I am the first to speak to you, but I am not at all a suspicious person Agh!
Be silent, my useless husband. Let me, your incredible wife, exin everything myself! Sir Hero, we are noble aristocrats from the Northern Continent, and the Holy Empire can attest to our identities.
I infiltrated the Rookie Heros group to gather information.
Why was I targeting a neer?
Oh! Im always wee to having newpanions around!
Because they were easily fooled.
They would never refuse the help of those who were ready to join their group since it allowed them to kill others easier for the sake of umting experience points.
That was why they brought in those who couldnt adapt to life on Earth, wasnt it?
Newbies treated this vicious world like an RPG game.
They worried about whether they could kill a person for about a day and then easily chopped them like bamboo the very next morning.
Isnt that amazing, hubby? These kids were still in kindergarten when you first came into this world, and now theyre experiencing what youve gone through.
Not really.
The fact that I was so old made me depressed.
They were still newbies, so the rank of their Karma skill wasnt so high yet. Likewise, however, they were yet to learn all the bitterness of going on an adventure.
Regardless, the locals would be nice to them as long as they agreed to work for free.
I wanted to observe what they were doing and analyze where their journey was going. If I deduced that everything was going right for them
I would immediately take action.
? Regret: Fewer and fewer students are interested in going on an adventure. We continue to receiveints about the journey being too difficult. Even still, it is unlikely to change for the better anytime soon.
Thanks for the exnation, smart and beautiful Trainee Teacher!
Time was on my side despite having quite a long time pass.
There were many powerful and highly experienced students from the secondary and tertiary education courses, but even they couldnt pose as hindrances to me.
? Excitement: Recently, my senior colleagues have been holding meetings frequently. They are even joined by other elders, whose faces I havent seen because theyve always been busy prior to this issue. This is pretty amazing.
The fact that the faculty was forced to meet so often only confirmed the fact that my n worked.
We needed to keep this up!
My decision to be the Rookie Herospanion and watch him turned out to be rather boring, though.
Well, I couldnt me him. He was called a beginner for a reason.
Many of the neers impatiently pounced on monsters after just checking their level, causing them their deaths.
They were so idiotic that I started to think that Siegs first trip was incredible after watching them.
Rtively speaking.
1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years
Data was collected little by little.
However, I couldnt collect any information on other continents since the hopeful neers retired or died after embarking on their journey and failing almost instantaneously.
But it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that the Central Continent waspletely in my hands.
That aside
a衤Mom: Ungrateful son, let me tell you how cute and nice your little brother is. (7:32)
a衤Mom: Surprisingly, even the Head of the District Police Department personally came to say hello today. (16:15)
a衤Mom: He worries me sometimes. I dont think he should be sent to kindergarten. Hes too smart for that level of education. (17:23)
a衤Mom: You should see how adorable he is when he touches my smartphone with his little hands. (8:61)
a衤Mom: Son, listen to this. I feel as if my body has be lighter than before. I can even y tennis longer than before now. (7:34)
Mothers vile second son had won over her heart!
I wished she knew I couldnt sleep at night because of this, even after I had already buried my face in the cheeks of my cowardly wife.
Do you not know how ufortable I am when you do this? And dont wipe your snot on my skin!
Its your ass.
Who cares! Just dont wipe it on me!
Today, the journey of another Rookie Hero ended.
Everything went smoothly at first.
For three months, he learned the basics ofbat from Alex and then traveled with Lanuvel, the archeologist.
Hispanions were the Mermaid Princess Aqua, Saintess A, and Holy Knights Commander Tomato.
He also had two Brave users in his party.
But that was all.
Sir Hero, do you know Mon?
N-no.
Trust in Mon, and the truth shall be revealed before you.
Sorry, but I already believe in another religion on Earth. I cannot betray it.
All is fine. Mon is benevolent even to heretics.
Heretics?
Only those who believe in another religion have to pay a fee in the Holy Mon Empire.
What?
Did Earth no longer teach what taxes were? These heroes seemed to have no knowledge of it.
The knight exined everything to the stupid hero.
In the Holy Mon Empire, you will be charged an additional fee on the purchase of any goods. Hotel room prices will also be higher for youpared to the prices offered to the followers of Mon.
I know what taxes are. How much would the increase be?
Everything will be sold to you at double its original price.
Huh?
Its not that hard to understand. Theyll be twice as expensive for you. Youll also be charged for using flush toilets.
What?!
The overly rational logic began to irritate him.
What was causing his dissatisfaction?
The Divine Being is benevolent to everyone. Therefore, his faithful followers have to put up with the fact that they live side by side with heretics. The extra fees are just a small payment for the moral damage they receive daily.
Damn
Sir Hero, are you still going to enter the territory of the empire?
Yes.
To avoid the toll, the Hero and hispanions pretended to be followers of Mons Teachings.
However, they were quickly seen through.
They didnt praise Mon or pray to him every day, after all.
Just forgetting to do it once or twice could be considered an honest mistake, but since it had been repeated endlessly, the citizens couldnt help but use them of fraud and treason.
On the other hand
Oh! You must be His most loyal follower! May Mon bless you even more! Mon.
May the patronage of the fair and righteous Mon be with you! Mon.
I was an exception.
Even if I didnt reveal that I was the First Apostle of Mons Teachings, the rest of the followers bowed their heads before me, showing their respect.
Additionally, since Ssosia was my wife, no one dared touch her even though she was a heathen.
Ssosia should be grateful!
Pf I dont even care anymore.
After paying a fine, the Heros pockets were left empty, making it more difficult for him to continue the journey. The thought about having to clean up some ruins or rob a tomb alone made him dizzy and nauseous.
Therefore, he took extreme measures.
Lets kill the Demon Lord. Said the Rookie Hero in such a tone that made it seem like he decided to fight the main boss immediately due to his boredom ying an RPG game.
How naive.
It didnt take long for him to be stopped by one of the Celestial Lords, who was guarding the entrance to the Demon Lords castle.
What was her name again?
You worked hard to get here, Hero. Since I betrayed my people to prove my loyalty to the Demon Lord Parmamon, I have been expecting your arrival.
Oh! The Lord of Betrayal!
pping her snow-white wings, she slowly descended to the ground.
Her clothes resembled the outfit of an angel.
Hoping for the effect of reflecting the Divinity skill, she covered only the innermost parts of her body. She had a bow in her hands, and a spear hung diagonally on her back.
Sir Hero, leave her to us and move on.
Ill only leave after undressing defeating this angel.
Haha! Dont worry. We can handle her ourselves.
Some of hispanions stayed behind to deal with her, but none of them could even mount a proper resistance against her.
C-coward!
How fast!
Get down and fight fairly!
You only have a spear for decoration!
She only pretended to fight on the ground.
But then, betraying their expectations, she flew high into the sky, pulled back her bowstring, and rained down volleys upon volleys of arrows upon them, which marked the beginning of her one-sided massacre.
Hmm. She follows my orders well.
She proved that the years I spent teaching and honing her wasnt for nothing by showing me that her wings werent just for aesthetics.
It was like watching a battle between a fighter jet and a tank.
It was obvious who would emerge the victor.
But the Hero, blindly believing that hispanions would win, charged onwards, never once looking back to check on them.
It didnt take long for him to be blocked by an elven couple, though.
Stop.
Youre not allowed to go any further.
I knew their names, but I didnt care and decided to skip introducing them.
If you go on like this, then why were their names and lore even necessary, cowardly hubby?
To make it easier for others to understand.
After much deliberation, I decided to name them Lord A, B, C, and D.
It was easier to remember, and no one would be offended.
Oh! Youre the Lord of Legends, Yasuho of the Wind! Shouted someone from the Heros Party uponing across the elf who looked more like a hero than the Hero himself.
He was wearing blue pants and a cape that seemed like it was handmade by a master craftsman.
All in all, he was just like what the Legendary Hero was supposed to be.
Hmm. Am I that popr? Yasuho asked with a smile.
Yes. Many have heard of an elf who can drive any female crazy but has been enved by his own wife.
I see.
Sighing, Yasuho drew his des instead of making excuses, wielding a sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left.
He didnt have the Holy Sword Nucleon, but his swordsmanship was still one that shouldnt be messed with.
Sir Hero, I have long wanted to fight Yasuho, the Lord of Legends, to find out which of us is stronger. Brave A stepped forward as he made a bold deration, only to lose his head after only a moment.
Alex had deceitful skills, but the real rogues were the royal elves.
Yasuho, the second husband of the pathetic Third Elf Kings sister.
He had already lived for quite a long time. Combining that with his talent and hard work, it became impossible for anyone to ovee him through efforts alone.
Oh! Well, unless I was the one fighting him myself.
Talent and hard work were nothing before Mons teachings, after all.
Faster than the wind?
Moreover, he wasnt alone. Someone else was standing behind him.
Darling, you are too slow.
I-Im sorry.
Yasuho moved faster after hearing his wifesints.
At that moment
We need to catch his wife and hold her hostage against him! This is where well meet our end otherwise!
One of the Herospanions voiced out an ingenious n.
His wife is a Celestial Lord too!
If my memory serves me right, shes Silvaras, the Lord of Death.
I heard that nobody has ever survived against her.
Its all a bluff. After all, the only thing Silvarass got going for her is her husband.
Secretly receiving instructions from me, Yasuho didnt immediately kill the Hero but yed with him for a while.
Because of this, the fools in his party thought that they had a chance to grab his wife while the Hero restrained the Lord of Legends.
As a result
They were all beautifully cut in half.
When I divided the skills between the four subjects, I decided to give her a little more, although she was already strong.
They dont take me seriously since youre too weak, honey.
I-I beg your pardon
The greatest Elf King, Elfheim, has entrusted you with his most beloved sister. Therefore, as my husband, you should work harder.
Youre only a sister to him
What did you say?
Ill try even harder for you!
All of the Herospanions, except Ssosia and me, had perished.
Lanuvel, sensing danger, wanted to run away, but Hanjo dealt with her.
As for the Hero himself
Give me five seconds Done. Sorry about that. I sent my mother a message. You can deal with him now.
As you wish.
The second reason I targeted newbies was that they had thetest smartphones.
I wasnt certain, and perhaps it was just me, but I thought the inte connection was even better with thetest tech.
At that moment
[ount ess verified.]
[Initiating the retinal authentication process.]
[Look at the camera.]
[Initializing]
[Wee, Vice President Kang Han Soo.]
Stop. Dont kill him yet.
In the smartphone I borrowed from my junior, a suspicious message appeared.
Chapter 286 - [18th Round] Who Are You?
Chapter 286 - [18th Round] Who Are You?
The suspicious message wasnt a text sent in real-time by a human but a preset greeting.
The proof of it was how it addressed me.
Vice President Kang Han Soo?
Nobody would call me that, considering I had never held such a title in my life.
But you made a good tyrant and emperor, didnt you, cowardly hubby?
Do not distract me with your nonsense.
I was annoyed.
Vice President, not President.
This meant that there was a president out there that was standing above me and could tell me what to do.
Why was I ranked second highest?
Did my cowardly wife infect me with her curse?
Hey! Thats borderline paranoia. A curse isnt transmissible like a disease.
What is it, then?
I looked at my smartphone again.
[Downloading]
[Locked functions activated.]
[Auxiliary system activated.]
[Auxiliary battery activated.]
[Auxiliary antenna activated.]
The tiny smartphone had a lot of suspicious features that the owner might not even be aware of.
The most noticeable change was its level ofmunication.
Instead of one strip, three appeared.
What followed surprised me even more.
[Hello, Kang Han Soo.]
A message appeared on the screen. It seemed to be sent by a human.
Who are you? I asked mechanically.
Normally, it would be necessary to type in my reply, but I answered by voice because there was no window for entering text like in messengers.
[I am Victoria.]
[If you have questions, ask them one at a time.]
[The auxiliary batterysts about 3 hours. That should be plenty enough time.]
Was this what they called voice recognition software?
Something simr already existed when I was an exemry citizen on Earth, but it couldnt work perfectly yet.
It gave me permission to ask a question.
So I did.
Who are you?
How could I understand anything when all it gave me was an unfamiliar name?
***
[You havent changed at all.]
[Im not sure if thats good or bad, though]
If she had introduced herself as Factoria from the very beginning, this misunderstanding wouldnt have arisen.
How could I recognize her with the name that she initially gave me?
Do all new smartphones have such hidden features?
[Only the most recent models.]
[This project was onlyunched when I found out you established a connection with the Earth.]
[How did you do that?]
I didnt answer.
Even three hours wouldnt be enough to tell such a heartbreaking story.
Why did you call me Vice President?
[You really havent changed]
[Its my own fault for expecting an exnation.]
[Anyway, Earth is still under the alien invasion.]
[Due to it, the military industry has evolved a lot.]
[The Factoria Heavy Industries I run is apany whose trade turnover is more than half of Earths total trade turnover.]
[And its all thanks to the analysis of the Android Hero I received from you.]
Based on the new heroes words, I managed to roughly imagine the situation on Earth, but the First Hero still didnt seem to have any intention of giving up his attempt to conquer my home and put it under his control.
You mean that tin can?
In pursuit of my dream, I ordered a super-robot from Sage and Dummy A, and those old virgins created a beautiful android girl
I remembered giving her to Factoria because she was useless in battles, who then rejoiced, saying that it helped her a lot.
[Tin Can is a collection ofplex technologies that magnificentlybines science and magic.]
[Thanks to this technological advantage, mypany quickly achieved sess.]
[I am its founder and biggest shareholder, and its only investor, and my spouse, Kang Han Soo, is its Vice President.]
Now everything was clear.
Combining Fantasys magic with sophisticated science, Factoria cowardly pushed forward.
Technological monopoly!
My condolences to the man who would marry such an insidious woman
Wait. Spouse?
Was that the word I was familiar with? Or was there some kind of error in her program?
[Right. Kang Han Soo is my spouse.]
[Dont worry, everything is legal.]
[Both parents gave their consent.]
So it was you!
Factoria was the daughter-inw that my mother praised so much.
With what bribes did she win my mothers heart?
[I met her by chance.]
That sneaky bitch! She should apologize to all the coincidences in the world!
[I gave her a tennis racket, and she loved it.]
Oh! Oh my god
[Every weekend, we yed tennis together and even participated in tournaments.]
[At some point, by chance, we got into a conversation where she asked if I was married.]
[I said no, and she invited me to marry her missing son so that we could get closer.]
[I agreed, which made your mother very happy.]
[It was onlyter that I found out that her son was Kang Han Soo.]
Who would believe such an absurd, obviously forged story?
And my father?
My innocent, tennis-addicted mother could be fooled, but my cold-blooded father wasnt as easy of a target.
What happened to him?
I wouldnt forgive Factoria if she kidnapped or killed him!
[He is a wonderful person who is madly in love with your mother.]
[He said that hepletely adheres to your mothers decision.]
[I gave him a protein supplement, and he immediately looked as happy as a child.]
Tsk! She nned everything!
Factoria, Im sorry, but your dastardly ambitions were already meaningless from the very beginning. Im already married.
This wasnt the marriage I wanted, but no man knew Ssosias buttocks as well as I did.
My aunt will probably tease me and use me of jealousy again, but I think marriage really cannot be without such intimacy.
My niece
Dont say anything!
Jealous~
I already predicted what youre going to do, but you pushed through with it anyway
You are so shameless~
Enough!
This time, I thought Ssosia had nothing to worry about.
I didnt sign the contract, but two intergctic notaries certified our marriage.
That was more credible than a piece of paper signed without my permission.
[Dont get me wrong.]
[It all happenedpletely by ident.]
[I have a more important question.]
Try me.
I still wouldnt answer her.
[A group is trying to kidnap your parents.]
[Do you have any idea who it might be?]
Wait
A me of anger red up in my heart.
Was someone targeting my parents?
As soon as I heard about it, my mind went dark.
Drug Demon Lord, calm down! Children! Please, help!
The Spirit Kings who lived in my armpits and groin began to harass me more sexually than ever.
In particr, the Soul Spirit King gave the most effort.
As soon as it embraced my holy sword and caressed it, I immediately gained peace of mind.
Hmm
[Have you calmed down?]
[Some graduates are targeting your parents.]
[I tried to catch them, but I couldnt identify them]
[Do you have any idea who might be behind this?]
Well I had a few suspicions.
During the Festival of Heroes, some of the alumni I defeated might harbor resentment against me.
The faculty shouldnt be ruled out either, as they were already using alumni to take revenge on the First Hero.
This better not be some game that you started, Factoria.
Perhaps she was just doing this so she could pretend to protect my parents, thereby earning my favor.
[That is a well-founded assumption.]
[But whats the point in asking?]
[Even if I say it isnt, you still wont trust mepletely.]
[Am I wrong?]
She wasnt.
No matter how much Factorias words were justified, she wouldnt be able topletely dispel my doubts.
If you have any questions, ask away.
I initially had no intention of answering.
But the situation had changed a bit, considering this wily woman was now protecting my parents.
[Please tell us about your current situation and your progress.]
[I know you were transferred to secondary education.]
[When will you be back?]
When would I be back?
Around the time the Fantasy dimension is destroyed.
For the Demon Lord Parmamon, this was the only way to get to Earth.
***
[The situation is very grim.]
That was the first thing Factoria said when she heard that I had be the Demon Lord, along with a brief exnation of the situation.
[I think I should work less and invest more in skincare.]
I didnt know what skincare had to do with anything, but I agreed that the situation was dire.
Itll be easier for you to just wait until my brother grows up and marry him instead of waiting for my return.
I wasnt joking.
More and more heroes were giving up on their journey, choosing a peaceful life in the world of Fantasy, but it would take a really long time before they could get married and have children.
I didnt have to wait for just one or two heroes.
The n would only work when the vast majority of heroes had supported the Demon Lord.
Besides, many worthless individuals among the heroes abandoned their duty and lived only to satisfy their physiological needs.
[I understood your n.]
[And I realized something.]
[Because the Earth was deprived of reinforcements in the form of graduates, the alien invaders are beginning to push us back.]
[Something needs to be done about that.]
Huh?
It was as if I had been hit on the back of my head.
Only now did I realize that I came up with a n that didnt take into ount the situation on Earth.
I was trapped in this barbaric world with no time to care for the earthlings.
But everything was different now.
If the First Hero took over Earth, my parents safety would be at risk.
Step aside, cowardly hubby. I think Id better talk to her.
You?
Ssosia decided to intervene.
What did she want to do?
Niece!
Stop teasing me, auntie!
Thats so cute~
Ugh I just want to discuss the technicalities with her. As I watched from the sidelines, it urred to me that this conniving woman has a lot of power and influence on Earth despite pretending to be your mothers daughter-inw.
Ssosia took my smartphone away from me after that.
Well, go ahead.
It wasnt a badbination.
Ssosia was the developer of Fantasy, and Factoria dominated the entire tech industry on Earth.
I decided to see what woulde out of it.
The Wi-Fi connection between Earth and Fantasy is established through superimposing and merging space using the Monbius structure ording to the calctions of the Montagos form proposed by an honorary graduate of the academy Hmm? Miss Victoria, you still cant understand its concept even after all the exnations? The Montagos Form calctes volume by dividing three-dimensional space by time. (Omitted) The Montagos Form is the foundation of space science. You dont seem very smart Hmm? Kang Han-soos mothers date of birth? I dont know. Ha! A real daughter-inw should know that? Your logic is wed and stupid!
Mon
Even Master Mon, who always hid in Ssosias cowardly chest, jumped towards me as if evacuating from a war zone.
Theyre hard to bear even with your wisdom and grace, huh, master?
Mon.
Master Mon sat on my shoulder.
How much time had passed?
Ssosiya, having detached from the smartphone, came up to me with a very serious expression on her face.
Cowardly husband.
The tone with which she said it and her mood didnt inspire confidence.
Have you and Factoriae to any conclusion?
Did they track the directors office through Wi-Fi?
Give me a charger.
What?
Give me a charger! The battery died just as I was about to counter-argue with a proper mockery of that rednecks logic! Hmph!
How would that help?
Personally, I didnt think it was worth giving her a charger.
Dont worry about it. Ill take care of everything. y with your juniors for now.
Inhabitants of Fantasy! Hear the Demon Lord! This married woman, this person who doesnt want to lose in a pointless squabble, is your creator!
Mon
Chapter 287 - [18th Round] Achievements
Chapter 287 - [18th Round] Achievements
The summit between Ssosia and Factoria, representing Fantasy and Earth respectively,sted all night.
I was curious about what they could even discuss for so long without interruption, but at the same time, my heart told me that I shouldnt let my curiosity get the best of me.
Listen carefully, my cowardly hubby.
Im listening.
I hoped she wouldnt rant about losing the argument.
Not at all! I was victorious!
Sure.
Winning an argument with the redneck felt that great for her, huh?
Shut up! Thats not what I want to talk about.
To start with, the redneck and I discussed the possibility of losing our Wi-Fi connection. If it gets cut off, our whole n will be in vain.
Ssosia began to exin everything to me, including space science.
Hey, get straight to the point.
But Im telling you about the most important parts.
I dont need to know all the details. You knowing about it is enough.
Ssosia was my forever second wife. She wouldnt be able to leave me.
Perhaps she was something like a portable encyclopedia?
With her by my side, I didnt need to memorize or learn all sorts of meaningless details anymore.
Pfft! Dontpare me to the heating pads you carry with you to keep yourself warm at night
Niece~ Niece~
What? Are you going tough and tease me about jealousy again?
How cute~
It took quite a while before Ssosia got back to the main point.
The faculty started the Wi-Fi connection, but they cant terminate it. Simply put, they were able to make a hole in the dimension, but they dont have the technology to close it. Am I making sense to you?
Yeah.
It would be nice if that hole could be widened enough to allow people to pass through it, though.
Im going to exin the basics of space science to you if it means stopping you from having such stupid ideas.
No need.
I studied a lot on Earth.
And if I didnt understand something, I could just turn to Ssosias ass for help.
Your words alone constitute sexual harassment! My ass is not a search button!
But what about my freedom of speech?
Your moms concern for you isnt baseless, you know. If you return to Earth, youll find it difficult to adapt to your new daily life Ouch!
Search!
Ssosia kept wasting a ton of time in pointless moaning and yelling as she was trying to exin why I didnt have to worry about losing the Wi-Fi connection.
Thats your fault!
Whats your n, then?
She talked to Factoria all night. I would be very disappointed if thats all they coulde up with.
Of course, that isnt all. We talked about how to usurp the power of my aunt, the Director of Fantasy.
Get to the point.
The process itself is the essence.
Process?
From the lips of a naked woman sprawled on the bed, it didnt sound very convincing.
We decided to start publishing a magazine, which will contain information about the current Fantasy.
A what?
A magazine! Sort of like those guidebooks you were talking about earlier. At first, itll only contain information useful to heroes. Then, gradually, articles specifically made to put you in a good light will be published in it, ultimately reducing their hostility towards you.
Every part of this n was clearly developed by the cowardly Ssosia and the vile Factoria.
A guide for heroes
They could give them as much advice as possible, but it would be impossible to defeat the impartial MAX-ss Demon Lord.
Of course, if I trained them, they would never lose.
Except against me. I had no desire to be defeated either.
In other words, the guidebook Ssosia was talking about would be useless.
Maybe, but the heroes who just got here from Earth dont know that.
Thats fraud and misinformation.
They were attempting to sell a guidebook that wouldnt even help the heroesplete their courses!
There is some truth in that, but if I see my cowardly husband being pushed aside by some hero, Ill be sure to enjoy the moment while eating popcorn on the sidelines. Only the best individuals in the tertiary education course are capable of that, though
You really think there are such people?
There are. Theyre the strongest heroes my aunt is hiding.
I indeed knew little about that higher education course.
The individuals in the primary and secondary courses did nothing but charge head-on to fight the Demon Lord. They didnt even delve into the essence of the world or ask questions.
As a result, many of them died and became desperate due to the Karma skill Ssosia introduced into the system.
The upperssmen were different.
They had already gone through the antenatal care process and had adapted to the 5th curriculum. They moved forward while avoiding death or unnecessary frustration.
Their progress was far slower, though.
? Appearance: I also have a tertiary education degree, which is one of the requirements for bing a teacher.
Oh! I see youre not only smart and beautiful, Trainee Teacher. Youre also educated!
? Embarrassment: Im not that good. I barely got my diploma.
Then she should know why the journey of the undergraduates was so slow that most of them still hadnt even made it outside the Dumpling Kingdom.
? Exnation: Theyre working hard on their resume to prepare for employment. Regardless of what happened in the past, their objective now is to demonstrate what they learned in school and how great a hero theyve be.
I understand their point, but even so, arent they too slow?
? Answer: The requirements set bypanies for new employees arent that high, but theres a lot ofpetition between graduates. Thats why they try to make their resumes perfect.
Perfect and without mistakes!
In this case, of course, tertiary students were different from primary and secondary students.
Their juniors never looked back once they had aplished their mission, selfishly believing that they had solved the problem.
However, even afterpletely figuring out the 1st round, the upperssmen would suddenly visit the 2nd and 3rd rounds to ensure everything was in order.
? Tip: The day a senior student challenges cadet Kang Han Soo wille only after 500 years. After all, even though all I needed was a diploma, it still took me 50 years to get one.
500 years
I shouldnt think about them at all for now.
I returned to the main matter at hand.
Are you listening, cowardly hubby?
Yes.
I had been listening to her subconsciously.
Im beginning to think that Trainee Teacher is your first love, even though you havent even met her yet
The heart of a woman ys a big part in determining that.
And their external and internal beauties were fundamental as well.
Oh I cant believe I have to stay forever with this guy
Continue your exnations.
She continued as she didnt want her MAX-ss Righteous husband to punish her.
I dont want to exin anymore
Niece~
The alien invaders are gradually pushing back Earths forces since reinforcements, the graduates, have stoppeding from Fantasy. Africa,posed of mostly less developed countries, has already beenpletely conquered Ssosia began to speak quickly.
The First Spirit, seeing the reaction of her niece,ughed, twitching all over.
Uhiheeheeheehee!
Aunt, can you do something about your stupidugh? It doesnt suit your title, the First Spirit.
Because of the Drug Demon Lord, my reputation ispletely differentpared to the ancient times, my niece. I was originally a noble spirit, but I decided to change my image. I am now a fallen spirit that has sumbed to his fingers. Not bad, right?
Thats a really pathetic reason to fall
Did she doubt my fingers?
I could proudly dere that they were more outstanding than the Holy Swords of heroes.
Even my niece cant resist them.
Huh?
Ive often seen you drool as you gaze down at the Drug Demon Lords skillful fingers.
What?! Dont make things up!
Ssosias exnation was interrupted for a while due to her obscene desires, but I had roughly understood the n she and Factoria came up with.
Technological exchange.
Ssosia would transfer magic and technologies of the Fantasy World to Earth, and Factoria would reproduce them.
It would be transmitted through thetest smartphone, which was equipped with an improved Wi-Fi signal.
Our main objective was to strengthen the weaponry of Earths remaining heroes since I had shut down the production of new graduates.
We focused on improving the quality of the army!
My jealous Ssosias idea wasnt bad at all.
Boring
I didnt think I would ever get bored, even if I stared at my smartphone all day.
But in just a few days, I got bored.
I was Kang Han Soo, a hero who had lived in Fantasy for over 100 years.
Since I led an active lifestyle and worked hard without even resting for a single day, I found it hard to mess around.
Was this what people called upational deformity?
Cowardly husband, dont praise yourself too much.
Im just telling the truth.
It used to go unnoticed due to the heroes invasion, but since visitors had stopped appearing after the Four Celestial Lords were ced at the entrance, all that remained for me was to listen to how my mother was proud of her second son all day
? Sudden Appearance: Cadet Kang Han Soo!
Oh! What a surprise. Have you decided to keep mepany?
? Confused: Company? No, you need to prepare quickly. An important senior colleague of mine is on his way to you.
Your warnings toote, my secret friend.
Her important senior colleague, as she called him, was already in front of me.
This is our second meeting, Kang Han Soo. Do you remember me?
No.
Two meetings werent enough for me to do that.
Especially for a man.
Im Parker Lee, chairman of the senior curriculummittee.
Ah! Youre the guy who used my son to get me to switch to the secondary course.
Yeah. Thats me. Im d you remembered correctly.
The supervisor of the secondary education course.
He was the person who prevented me from graduating and forced me to enter the secondary education course instead.
What do you want?
Trainee Teacher said that the faculty had established a rule against contacting me.
However, if I mentioned this, I might put her in trouble.
Im not only the supervisor but also the Head of the secondary and tertiary education courses disciplinarymittee. It is my duty to guide the senior students who have gone astray back to the righteous path of heroes.
And?
I wasnt a student anymore. I was just a tutorial for them now.
There are many students who have abandoned their role and duty as heroes, all because of the Demon Lord, who remains unbeatable.
It cant be helped.
I was simply stronger than the heroes who had invested in the vile power of love and friendship.
I know. Youre the Hero who has broken many records of the Fantasy Training Center, after all.

I had racked up quite a lot of achievements since thest time I saw them.
But what was it for?
There was a lot of discontent among the applicants, as Kang Han Soo took possession of almost all the achievements that give additional points for many positions.
Oh?
With such arge number of petitions from students, we must either satisfy their needs or provide a solution to their problem.
And?
Since my aplishments were interfering with his work, he was nning to erase them. Was that it?
No. I cannot give you the details, but this is just an excuse to meet with you.
He couldnt do so because of the newly implemented school regtions.
Was that why he came up with such an interesting way toe to me?
Im curious.
I let go of Ssosias cowardly pelvis.
It was time to start the negotiations.
Chapter 288 - [18th Round] Pedonar’s Palm
Chapter 288 - [18th Round] Pedonars Palm
The history of Fantasy, this world where heroes are cultivated, is far longer than you think, Kang Han Soo.
Is it important, though?
I had already experienced the events that transpired 2,000 years ago.
I was able to find out how my resentful senior became the First Hero and how he caused the rise of the Five Great Disasters.
The oue?
Even after I found out the pitiful truth of his past, I earned nothing from it.
It is important, considering people learn from their past mistakes.
You were hoping to meet me for this?
Haha! Of course not, but wouldnt our conversation proceed smoother and better if the atmosphere is right?
Enough idle chatter.
I stared at the supervisor as he grinned.
People who could give me a good rebuff were rare, after all.
Since I absorbed the experience points and knowledge of the heroes in the First Heros house, I knew what I was talking about.
The supervisor was a born fighter who relied not on Fantasy skills but his own strength.
This institutions roots are as strong as its history is long. Weve had our fair share of adversities, but weve never been in as much danger as now.
Youve had problems before. Dont pretend this is the first time.
The First Hero escaped and became an enemy.
He is but one hooligan among many others. I admit that he was strong enough to defeat the Demon Lord, but hes a bad student, and there can be no excuse for that.
What difference does it make?
He has no moral principles.
Then you can just make them up.
Haha! As expected of you. However, you can only afford to say such words because you are an outstanding student. Many graduates are jealous of your aplishments. Among ourselves, we call it charisma.
I squinted a little.
Where are you leading this conversation?
We spared neither funds nor efforts to ensure that the student who killed Demon Lord Pedonar would get a great job and be able to start a family in peace. In return, however, he fled, found supporters, and made an enemy out of us.
And?
I know you prevented the war, but even if you couldnt, Fantasy wouldnt have fallen. It never will. We still keep in touch with the alumni who love their alma mater, after all. We tried to avoid it simply because we didnt want to spoil our reputation.
I roughly understood what he wanted to say.
History and tradition were powerful in themselves.
Graduates tried to enter first-ss universities mainly because famous and sessful people graduated from them.
To express their gratitude, they woulde to their alma maters rescue if needed.
Graduates who havended jobs
To be more precise, students who havepleted tertiary education. Companies do not recognize primary and secondary education as sufficient training.
I forgot about that.
As he said, Fantasy had a long history.
Throughout its existence, it had allowed arge number of students to graduate and work somewhere in the universe.
I could only imagine how great the power of love and friendship that strong was.
The First Hero is just one of the students who graduated from the highest course. If wepare him with the most sessful student, currently the president of arge corporation, then the First Hero is just a small business owner.
Oh?
My lunatic senior, running an entire gxy, was just a small business owner?
He might be exaggerating or bluffing. I had no evidence of that being the case, though.
You probably dont believe me, which is why I started our conversation with Fantasys history. Once you hear how this world of ours began, survived, and thrived, you wont be able to stop yourself from believing.
Dont let him talk you out, hubby.
Ah! Excuse me, Councilor Ssosia. I apologize for not greeting you immediately. Since you have no clothes on, Ive been feeling reluctant to turn my attention to you.
Before greeting me and making excuses, you first need to apologize for invading a married couples personal space.
Oh, right! I apologize, Madam Councilor. Forgive your junior, who, due to prejudice, decided that only mortals cared and worried about such trifling matters. Marriage, after all, is still a new experience for you, the Second Demon, despite how long youve already lived
Dont talk about my age.
I must request that you excuse my insolence once more. I cannot collect my thoughts since I dont know where I should ce my gaze.
Hmph!
Ssosia, putting on a ck dress, grinned and sat down next to me.
You two have a great rtionship.
You just opened your mouth, and youre already lying.
Haha! Thats not the case at all, Councilor Ssosia. I am certain you know Fantasy didnt begin when the current institution was founded. In fact, this training dimension existed long before that.
Yeah. In a very miserable way.
Even if it looked pathetic, it doesnt change the fact that the heroes were trained there. We call it the 1st curriculum.
This conversation was taking too much time.
I already understood that the history of Fantasy was long and that many worthy students had graduated from it.
Your point being?
This institution, which couldnt be harmed by brute force, is facing a real crisis for the first time. Since its 3rd and 4th curriculum, which the principal had so persistently promoted, failed, the schools credibility fell. Then discontent and dissatisfaction flooded in from graduates preparing for employment, only to find out the teachers support you.
So I was popr.
Ssosia, you heard him, right? Thats how amazing your husband is. You should be grateful that you married me.
Did I enter some kind of parallel universe?
The cowardly little wife began to dodge my statement as if I threw a frying pan at her.
My niece! You look pathetic~ The First Spirit said.
I know that you like to joke around, but I hope you tell the truth for once, like how my husband is a promiscuous man
Shameless liar~
The curator, grinning, once again showed my achievements.
Councilor Ssosia, it seems to me that youre reluctant to acknowledge your well-deserved love for Kang Han Soo, but his achievements do not lie.
? 49: Voted as the cutest Hero by the residents of Fantasy.
? 136: Voted the most revered Hero by the residents of Fantasy.
? 138: Voted the most desirable man by the female residents of Fantasy.
? 140: Voted the most trustworthy Hero by the residents of Fantasy.
? 157: Voted as the most desirable male to mate with by Fantasy mermaids.
? 162: Voted the greatest ruler by the residents of Fantasy.
? 166: Voted the most reliable husband by the people of Fantasy.
? 172: Acknowledged as the owner of the deadliest kiss by the Fantasy System.
? 173: Acknowledged as the owner of the deadliest fingers by the Fantasy System.
The system didnt lie.
It was clear from Ssosias face that she didnt want to ept it, but her rejection wouldnt be enough to magically cause my achievements to disappear.
239 achievements! And some find it hard to get at least one. Some teachers, including the director, the principal, and Mrs. Councilor, refuse to acknowledge it, but you are ranked 1st among all students concerning achievements even though you haventpleted your secondary education course yet. Even the second cers achievements are almost eight times fewer than yours.
Justice has triumphed!
In my 1st round, I was unable to gain recognition due to the evil directors unfair assessment.
But the system remembered my hard work and experience.
Lets get down to business, Kang Han Soo. Achievements are vtile. The ones rted to pioneers willst forever, but others will be lost if the record is broken.
I dont care.
I was already satisfied just looking at Ssosia, whose expression made her feeling of defeat evident.
You should be more affectionate with your MAX-ss husband from now on, cowardly wife!
If this were heard by graduates who are happy with just one aplishment, they would faint. Achievements are not given to oppress ones partner
There is no other use for them, then.
Since my father-inw handed over his business to me, I now worked as the Demon Lord.
And after my resignation, I was thinking of opening my own cafe.
Achievements didnt really matter to me.
Thats not true. Achievements influence public opinion. Suppose you hadnt so suddenly be the Demon Lord. In that case, as soon as you graduated from the tertiary education course, a requirement for bing a teacher, youll be able to be a principal thanks to the support youll be able to gather.
If I be the principal, can I safely leave this dimension?
That wont be all youd be able to do. Youll be able to punish the teachers who hindered your sess. Itll also be possible to make the trainee assigned to you your secretary.
Oh!
My anger for my father-inw grew even stronger!
Not only did he push his cowardly daughter to me, but he also prevented me from building a career!
He had given me nothing but trouble and harm.
As I said, the n to make you the principal failed since you suddenly dropped out of school.
I know.
It was certainly unexpected.
More urately, you fell into a cunning trap. You became the Demon Lord only because Demon Lord Pedonar cooperated with the teachers who didnt support your candidacy.
Is that so?
Now the puzzle had begun to take shape.
What about my aunt? Ssosia asked.
She doesnt really like Kang Han Soo, but shes not stupid enough to make a deal with the Demon Lord.
Is that so
As she mncholically muttered something, Ssosia suddenly grabbed my hand.
What are you doing?
Do I have to say it out loud? If you dont like it, say so. Ill just go away
Dont pretend to be weak. It doesnt suit you at all.
Hmm My father, whom I saw wearing an apron more often than my mother, who um, was also a good cook, used to tell me, Once youve made a choice, you have to see it through to the end.\''
I turned to the supervisor.
He didnte here toin about unfulfilled ns.
As I expected he would.
When you became the Demon Lord, things gotplicated. At first, I thought wedpletely failed, but the reality is quite the opposite. The system developer, Councilor Ssosia, is by your side, after all.
The corners of his lips lifted slightly.
I also smiled at him.
So you know about our ns.
Seizing control of the Fantasy Institution.
Theres no way I wouldnt. Your actions so far were too good to be a coincidence, almost like a wheel of fortune. We call it Pedonars Palm.
So he had us in the palm of his hand all along.
It was annoying.
Father-inw decided my fate at his own discretion.
Youre probably unaware of this, but the difficulty level of your 1st round was higher than the higher courses. The Karma skill that Councilor Ssosia implemented is just a toy.
Meaning?
Maintaining ssrooms is expensive. Therefore, those unable to prove themselves fit to be a true Hero are eliminated Using a variety of methods. That being said, not only did you not drop out, but you also killed the Demon Lord. You outright rejected the destiny God prepared for you. You can consider it fate that the Demon Lord showed interest in you, though.
I put my hand on Ssosias chest, who was sitting next to me.
And I felt my soul immediately be calmer.
Shouldnt it be the other way around?
Ignoring Ssosiasints, I replied to the supervisor. What are all these boring exnations for?
The director moved on to action.
Oh? She finally wants to fight me herself?
Ah! You seem to have misunderstood. The principals grandson enrolled in primary education to take away your aplishments, Kang Han Soo. If you want to gain more support, then you need to protect your achievements.
And who might he be?
His MAX-ss senior, the very person who almost became the principal, would teach him a lesson.
Chapter 289 - [19th Round] Re: Hell
Chapter 289 - [19th Round] Re: Hell
Riel. He has mixed human and angel blood. Although theres no other information about him, since hes the directors grandson, hes clearly not one of the ordinary heroes.
His name is Riel, huh?
That was all I needed.
I would crush him like a sprout before he could even begin to develop.
Please be patient. All the teachers who have taken your side will turn away otherwise. Actions contradicting the principle of fairness will cause negative responses.
What about the director, then?
The First Angel herself seemed unaverse to viting this principle.
Its because of her mistakes that the group supporting you appeared and that I became a member of it.
I see.
Understanding his point, I thought I could just simply increase the level of difficulty.
That wouldnt be ideal. If the problems on the exams are too difficult, the students will me the teachers. Please consider that.
So many prohibitions.
Hearing my displeasure, the supervisor confidently replied as he looked me straight in the eyes.
Since were talking about you, Kang Han Soo, the one that beat the records of the Fantasy Education Center countless times, then I believe that you can handle this.
A teacher to the bone, huh?
All he did was limit and abandon me.
Haha! Thats not true. I only watch students who are falling behind academically. The more I watch, the more I get disappointed, though.
Is that all you have to say?
Yes.
Its my turn, then.
FSHUKH!
My fist, which I threw at his face, couldnt touch him for some reason.
But it didnt matter.
The wings of the righteous hero uncurled on my back to finish what I started.
Behold, the power of God. He said nonchntly.
My sharp wingtips bounced off my target without inflicting damage. Moreover, their bones, which were harder than the Holy Sword, broke.
Is this your power?
Strictly speaking, I borrowed it from God.
It didnte from the First Angel.
There was no way I wouldnt recognize its attribute if it were made out of light, after all. At the same time, its level was too low to be considered the omnipotent force of Master Mons GGG rank.
The only exnation left was that it came from a third deity.
An entity unknown to me intervened.
If so
I decided to check whose God was stronger.
What is all this for? Im an ally! Im here to help you.
Im the only one who gets to decide whos my ally and who isnt.
If in the 2nd round, he appeared instead of Teacher Morals, I wouldve considered him an ally.
But that time had long since passed.
I was apletely different creature now.
What he was trying to do was understandable.
He wanted to pit the group supporting the First Angel against the group supporting the Demon Lord to see whose power of friendship was stronger.
Kang Han Soo, your attacks cannot harm me.
Wait. It will soon.
As he said, I couldnt hurt him, which was because of the white pentagonal shield hovering around his body like a familiar, instantly blocking all iing offensives.
It wasnt thatrge, perhaps just twice the size of a palm.
However
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
It moved so fast that even my eyes couldnt keep up with its speed,pletely negating all of my assaults.
Give up.
Says the one cowardly hiding behind his shield.
Thats rich,ing from someone who suddenly attacked a friend.
Friend?
I didnt need friends.
If I wanted to rely on the cowardly power of love and friendship, I wouldve already chosen that path.
As my supervisor said, there was no excuse for the behavior of bad students.
I also agreed with that.
There was no excuse for the behavior of bad teachers.
All those who kidnapped me, a civilized inhabitant of Earth, and threw me into this dimension, were my enemies and had no right to order me.
He told me to stop the directors grandson and left me to think about how to do it.
He tried to pretend that this was all for me, but I swiftly realized that wasnt the case just by thinking about it a little.
I cant trust someone who threatened my son, can I?
They werent threats. I just enforced the rules.
That doesnt erase the fact that you used him to your advantage.
Didnt my actions help you save your son?
I wouldnt go that far.
My son had now been divided into many individuals tied to the Fantasy dimension.
Could that be called salvation?
Uhh No matter what he has in mind, itll benefit us anyway, cowardly hubby. Why are you rebelling against him? Ssosia poked my side as she witnessed the Demon Lords castle being destroyed.
Niece!
I didnt say anything wrong!
No, its just that the Drug Demon Lord will always stay true to himself. What did you expect?
I didnt work for free.
Did he want me to rejoice because I helped the savages of Fantasy?
It wasnt even funny as a joke.
If I hadnt been abducted and transferred here, I wouldve lived a good life on Earth.
No reward could satisfy me at this point.
Public opinion?
That was no more than ttery, an essory for deception.
That being said
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His shield annoyed me.
No matter how I attacked, none of my attempts connected.
Even if I made several simultaneous attacks, it moved so fast that none of them could even touch him.
However, because of my nonstop bombardment, the supervisor couldnt find any opportunity to retaliate.
Tenacious bastard.
Give up. This is the power of a perfect being who became a deity by creating a shield that can block all attacks.
Perfect?
That was a truly arrogant statement.
The only perfect being in this world was Master Mon!
Winning against me will not do you any good. This is a pointless battle.
No. There will be meaning in this.
I was the one who sat on the throne of the Second Demon Lord ording to the providence of the universe.
Above that, I was the disciple of the perfect being, Master Mon!
Therefore
Wouldnt I be no different from being a deity?

If there was a certain entity posing as a perfect deity by creating some kind of shield a littlerger than the palm of ones hand, then, in this case, it was strange that I, who was stronger, was not a God.
Major premise: My adversary is a perfect deity.
Minor premise: I am more perfect than my adversary.
Conclusion: I am a deity.
I must be the God of Darkness.
Nothing could stop my darkness.
Bang! Bang! Crrrr!
Dark Energy, responding to my will, merged with dark matter and crashed against his shield.
Visually, nothing happened.
Since even light was absorbed rather than reflected, no image was formed on the corneas of anyones eyes.
It all happened instantly.
What?!
As his shield cracked, the supervisor couldnt help but disy his surprise. Your shield can block all attacks, but you never said it couldnt be broken.
It was no more than a pathetic imperfection.
His barrier, which I attacked millions of times in a short period of time, broke down, crumbled, and, like ss, scattered into small particles of light.
The moment it did, the Righteous Demon Lords fist hit his jaw from below.
Kh?!
As if in slow motion, I watched his teeth alternately fly off. He even bit his tongue tightly but miraculously didntpletely bite it off.
PSSSS!
His injuries healed quickly, however. New teeth grew, and his shattered lower jaw recovered not long after.
Everything happened so quickly that he could already speak within a few seconds.
Oh, this is awful. Even Noebiuss poisonous breath at the end of his years couldnt drain my healing powers or do as much damage
Such is the strength of the Righteous God of Darkness.
I punished the arrogant creature before me, refusing to listen to theints of evil beings who didnt know true justice.
Supervisor Bakery.
My name is Parker Lee.
Whatever you say, Bakery.
I dont need friends.
I understand. Since I, the supervisor, was so seriously affected by the forces of evils sudden attack, I have enough proof to show the director that I am the Demon Lords enemy. With this, she should no longer doubt me.
Hmm?
As I was about to shake the soul out of him, he said something strange, causing me to stop.
I will wait as your enemy until the right timees.
p!
Taking advantage of the moment, he fled.
Auntie Im surprised. I thought my husband was an idiot to the bone, but he knows how to think with his head.
Im just as surprised as you are.
I thought he was going to kill his own ally because he was in a bad mood, but I couldnt even begin to imagine that all this was to deceive my aunt.
Oh! Sweet niece! I can see hearts dancing in your eyes right now.
Im not a cartoon character!
Oh? You didnt deny your feelings.
Huh?
Heeheehee!
Ssosia and the Addicted Spirit werent making any sense, but I generously decided to forgive them this time.
Richel
Re: Hell.
A recurring hell.
Considering his name, I couldnt say the blood of angels flowed in his body.
? Correction: His actual name is Riel.
Oh! Im d youre okay, Trainee Teacher. If Bakery causes you any trouble, make sure you tell me immediately. Ill make sure to teach him a lesson.
? Confusion: He is one of the few seniors that juniors like me can easily turn to.
That couldnt be!
I wanted to reprimand Trainee Teacher for her words, but I decided to leave it forter.
Right now, I had another matter to attend to.
Were going to meet Richel.
It was time to arrange a repetitive hell for him.
***
Finding the evil directors grandson wasnt easy since there were countless heroes and sses in which I had a body in.
It wouldve been faster if I could just type in his name in a search engine, but since my cowardly wifes programming skills were useless, I was forced to go through each dimension in my list.
Im sure the greatest husband to ever exist will be able to cope with it. Meanwhile, his ipetent wife will just focus on having fun with Mon.
Mon Mon
Ssosia, have a little pride. You shouldnt call yourself ipetent since youre taking care of Master Mon.
That wasntforting at all. Your praise sounds like mockery.
Where was he?
ording to Bakery, Richel recently enrolled in the primary education course.
If he was nning on taking away my achievements, then even with nothing but low level and skills, he should at least be able to easily defeat orcs and goblins.
In other words, he hadnt yet acquired the Karma skill unless he went nuts bymitting suicide.
Taking advantage of Shadow As position as an honorary teacher, I looked at the files of the heroes who sessfully forged rtionships with the local savages.
It wasnt difficult to separate them from the others since they didnt wander but lived close to cities instead.
Five days had already passed before I finished screening them, but the number of candidates had at least decreased.
Okay. Next Hmm?
My gaze stopped on a particr hero.
It happened somehow on its own.
This is the first time I met you, Hero. Why are you showing hostility towards me?
Because youre Noebius.
Is that so Okay. Erdanti, take the children and stand at a safe distance.
Noebius, in the guise of a young man, proudly confronted a strange kid that imed he was hostile against him simply because of his identity.
At that moment, I immediately remembered
? 2: The first in the primary education course to kill the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion.
? 5: The first in the primary education course to kill the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion without the Holy Sword.
? 6: The first in the primary education ss to kill the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion withoutpanions.
? 7: Killed the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion without the Holy Sword in the shortest amount of time.
? 8: Killed the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion withoutpanions in the shortest amount of time.
Three of my achievements would stay with me forever since they were pioneer-rted, but the other two could be taken away.
There was just one problem.
Noebius was no longer called the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion. He was just a married man now.
Or did he not care?
Anyway
Found him.
Already? Hubby, I hope youre not going to kill all the suspicious heroes because youre toozy to look for him properly?
Of course not.
The strongest dragon to ever exist surrounded the gigantic city with his body to protect his family.
There shouldnt be any hard feelings here.
But there was a rookie Hero who remained hostile to him.
My dear friend! Leave him to me! Im going to punish this impudent primary student in no time Huh?
The impudent primary student got Karma F in just 0.1 seconds!
Chapter 290 - [19th Round] Demon Lord’s Incarnation
Chapter 290 - [19th Round] Demon Lords Incarnation
Did he get even stronger through his slumber?
Thebat power of my dearrade, who left his children to the First Saintess then slept for two millennia, was beyondpare.
The world copsed when the Heros head flew to the side after being punched by Noebius fist. No, it didnt fly. It just vanished.
His attempt to take away my achievement had failed.
And the price of that failure was his regression.
Wee, Sir
Thats impossible! How could someone like him do that Hes no more than mothers pet!
Sir Hero?
Ignoring Lanuvels greeting, the boy began to throw a tantrum.
He had a pretty face and neat silver hair that reached down to his shoulders.
Unlike the other people this institution abducted, he wore aplete uniform since he had prepared for this in advance.
Wondering if his skills were readied up just the same, I checked his stats.
? Race: Half-angel
? Level: 1
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Divinity ZZ, Haste D, Dexterity E, Martial Arts E, Karma F
? Status: Relic, Confused
He regressed with all the skills he had before his death.
Never mind
Is that so? Please pull yourself together, Sir Hero! I know youre confused since youve been summoned here without warning, so let me brief you at least. Youre in Fantasy. Youre in a dimension different from where you were born. I know its difficult to grasp everything at once, but I will begin to exin everything gradually, step by step.
I would have tried to shut her up already, but he listened to her exnations calmly.
Thanks for the information.
Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Im Lanuvel, an archaeologist. I obtained the prophecy during one of my travels to study the ancient legend about Sir Hero. In ancientnguage, Lanuvel means truth.\''
Lanuvel. What a lovely name. I look forward to your support in the future.
I look forward to working with you too, Sir Hero!
My name is Riel.
I see. Nice to meet you, Sir Hero Riel!
Lanuvel giggled, pretending to be sweet, and the boy alsoughed in return. The two then went to the Dumpling King to request an audience.
I simply watched them from afar, but
I cant contain my anger even though Im just listening to them
Calm down, evil hubby. Have you already forgotten the words of the supervisor? If you step in, youll lose supporters.
I know.
I originally nned to ignore his advice.
However, misunderstanding my intentions, he fled, and Ssosia and the Addicted Spirit decided that it was all a part of the cunning n of the MAX-ss Demon Lord. They left me no choice but to slightly alter my initial n.
If there was no way to do it, I just needed to make one.
In the 1st round, due to the interference of mypanions, all I did was struggle against endless restrictions.
I had to protect the elderly.
Avoid making women cry.
Fight injustice.
Fight honestly.
Refrain from torturing anyone.
Prevent myself from grabbing others vertebrae.
Sleep at night.
Call mypanions by name.
Because of all those restrictions, it became hard for me to find room to breathe.
However, I still refused to give up and instead overcame all the difficulties I faced.
I had already had more than my fair share of finding solutions through force, even if my situation was deemed impossible to get out of.
Comply with the principle of fairness without increasing the level of difficulty.
If I personally showed up and beat the living soul out of Richel, it would vite the said principle.
Additionally, if I increased the difficulty, not only Richel but the rest of the students would be forced to turn inside out to be stronger.
If so, there was a simple solution to my problem.
It was often used by the Demon Lord Pedonar back in the day.
Alter ego.
Middle bosses, who embodied the Demon Lord himself, sometimes appeared on the heroes paths to ensure they wouldnt forget about the purpose of their journey.
And they were great bags of experience points.
Evil hubby, what cowardly thoughts visited you this time?
Just shut up and watch.
Hero Richel was now in an audience with the Dumpling King.
His weapon was Divinity ZZ.
But things didnt go as smoothly as he wanted.
Hero. I understand that you are divine.
Then I hope for your support
But I cannot trust anyone who has just been called into this world recently.
What? Your Majesty, you spoke differentlyst time!
Last time?
No, its nothing
The boy could no longer gain the kings support due to his Karma skill, which overrode even the effects of transcendent skills.
But he was still promised to be allocated a room with a beautiful maid, proving that his Divinity ZZ wasntpletely useless.
He still seemed unhappy, though.
I scanned the entire throne room.
Since the territory of the Demon Lord had greatly decreased,pared to the 4th curriculum, the number of demons and their followers hiding in the Dumpling Kingdom had decreased exponentially.
No matter how ironic it was, though, the number of demons and demon followers among aristocrats not only didnt decrease but, on the contrary, increased.
Once they got hold of Dark Energy, the changes manifested automatically in themselves, including the improvement of every fiber of their being, such as their appearance, health, longevity, recovery, physical strength, etc.
As Ssosia said, being harmful to ones psyche aside, Dark Energy was an excellent supplement for health.
Thanks to the proliferation of flush toilets, humankind was now living its best age.
However, if there was light, there was bound to be darkness.
For them to live as long as possible in this wonderful world filled with flush toilets, humanity began to look for ways to prolong life.
And one of the solutions they found was Dark Energy.
It was difficult for ordinary mortals to get it, but the aristocrats had the means to do so.
And they did it very actively.
The biggest danger of the Dark Energy was to fall and be enved by demons, but since they had all died, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Until the Demon Lord returned, at least.
Whos the best fit
More than half of the aristocrats in the Dumpling Kingdom, including its king and queen, had Dark Energy.
Some had it in their body.
Others in a pendant.
Or in their arms.
Or in their shorts Hmm?
If one kept the Dark Energy not in their body but in an object, its impact on their psyche decreased, but it would still only be a matter of time.
They would fall anyway.
And if they had no skill that protected their mentality, it was impossible to avoid submission to demons.
? Race: Human
? Level: 44
? Job: Aristocrat (Bloodline = Dignity )
? Skills: Dark Energy D, Dignity E, Authority F, Sexual Rtions F, Male Energy F
? Status: Fatigued, Enlightened
I found an aristocrat whose stats were suitable for the implementation of my n.
D-rank Dark Energy.
He was no different from a low-ranking demon in that regard.
But he didnt have a single skill to protect his psyche, and his level was low even for an aristocrat.
Hes perfect.
My copies, sitting on the throne, gave the order at the same time.
Hahaha! You dare call yourself a hero and even desire to challenge the Demon Lord Parmamon with such a weak spine?! And you, Lanuvel. Your pitiful pelvis Huh?!
The aristocrat, receiving the order of the Demon Lord Parmamon, ran screaming into the center of the throne room.
He pounced on the heroes and died immediately.
Sorry I couldnt protect you!
The Counts stupid son had gone mad
Has Demon Lord Parmamon really risen
The Count probably just didnt discipline his heir properly
The level 1 Rookie Heroes rushed out in fear, but the experienced ones that had regressed at least once, like Richel, acted differently.
Each hero had their own way of killing the demon follower.
He was cut, burned, chopped up, crushed, frozen, set on fire, beaten to death
Pha?!
Richel was simply unlucky, having been punched in the jaw by the demon follower despite his experiences.
How could anyone be so unlucky?
Cowardly hubby, isnt that kind of excuse too far-fetched? Breaking through the reflection of his ZZ-rank Divinity overkill as it is
But it happened right in front of your eyes, right?
Richel didnt die, at the very least.
The royal knights intervened.
The aristocrat fell to the floor, pierced by swords on all sides.
The Dumpling King, turning blue with fear, shouted, his voice trembling.
How could this happen in my domain?! Hero! Hero, can you hear me?
Uh Oh. Y-yes, Your Majesty.
This happened because I couldnt keep my subjects in line. As an apology, I shall provide you with gold coins and a letter of rmendation that would allow you to train with the Sword God Alex.
All heroes starting a new journey received the same reward.
Plus, it slightly made up for their bad reputation due to their Karma skill!
Where else could they find a senior who cared so much about his juniors?
I didnt increase the difficulty level for my juniors hunting me. On the contrary, I lowered it!
Thank you, Your Majesty. Kha-kha!
Richel restored his jaw with divine healing and thanked the Dumpling King, bowing his head before him.
You may go, Hero. Defeat Demon Lord Parmamon with haste!
Um Your Majesty, Richel carefully called out to the king.
Is there anything else you want to say, Hero?
It seems that this demon follower is still alive, He pointed at the fatally wounded aristocrat.
But the king dismissed it.
If he is alive, then we will question him and put an end to him. You dont have to worry about him. It would be best for you to focus on killing the Demon Lord.
But Your Majesty! He was able to break through my divine protection with ease!
Enough! I dont have time for this.
Sorry
The same event happened in all the ssrooms of the Fantasy Institution.
In the throne room, the heart of the Dumpling Kingdom, a demon follower became the Demon Lords incarnation and was killed by either the heroes or the royal knights.
By some miracle, however, one survived.
His luck must have been immense!
His heart was pierced, and he lost a lot of blood, deceitful hubby. The fact that he survived sounds ridiculous
You should direct those concerns to the healer.
The healer didnt know how he was still alive either, though.
He wouldnt know about all the effects of Dark Energy, would he?
There was no script error.
The guy trapped in an underground dungeon recovered overnight by some miracle.
That was no mistake either.
He was the embodiment of the just MAX-ss Demon Lord, after all.
I examined my new body.
Hmm. This is a good physique. Its holy sword is quite pathetic, though.
Even if I controlled the Demon Lords incarnation that miraculously survived, it wouldnt vite anyones proverbial principle of righteousness.
After all, I gave equal chances to every hero.
This happened only because Richel couldnt kill this young aristocrat himself.
If there were two incarnations, it would be difficult for me to manage them, but I could at least try with one.
My God thats cheating, isnt it?
My cowardly little wife wasnt making any sense as always.
What is?
You have to take a morality test at the Mon University Hospital.
If you say so. So are you with me or not?
Ill wait at the Demon Lords castle with my aunt. You didnt think Id let you touch me while youre in someone elses body, did you?
I didnt.
But this was somehow unexpected.
I just innocently asked if she would go with me, and she only thought about vulgarities.
My niece Hmm?!
Ill leave now and defend the fort with my aunt!
Covering the mouth of the Addicted Spirit, Ssosia left blushing.
As for me
Time to meet Richel.
This marked the beginning of a seniors journey to support his junior!
Chapter 291 - [19th Round] The Hero’s Corruption
Chapter 291 - [19th Round] The Heros Corruption
This is crazy! Ive been told so many times that I should be careful not to raise the Karma skills rank
Hero Richel walked through the streets of the capital of the Dumpling Kingdom, nervously scratching the back of his head.
Every time he passed by, the girls stopped, unable to take their eyes off him.
Wow
Hes so handsome.
Oh my God
It was pathetic.
When I was the emperor, all residents, regardless of gender and age, admired me.
As ones poprity grew, the number of people dissatisfied with them usually grew as well, but my cuteness was absolute. Nobody on the continent could deny it.
I was qualitatively different from Lanuvel, whose cuteness was fake.
Sir Hero Riel, Sword God Alexs mansion is this way! With a smile, Lanuvel turned to the Hero, not paying attention to his sorrowful expression.
She was practically begging to get punched!
Lanuvels sweet voice gives me strength!
How could he put up with that bitch?
Richel really perked up, but he didnt go where Lanuvel tried to lead him to.
It wasnt that hard for me to predict where he was going.
The Mercenary Guild.
It was where filthy and wild Fantasy barbarians looked for work or where others hired them in exchange for money.
Let me guess! You want to find apanion from the guild to apany you in your journey, dont you, sir Hero?
Exactly! Miss Lanuvels sharp mind never misses.
Heeheehee.
My blood pressure went up dramatically every time I watched them flirt, but now wasnt the time to be distracted by it.
Why would he want to find apanion there?
Hero Richel had just started his 2nd round.
Even in the 1st round, immediately after being summoned, he rushed straight to Noebius, losing in 0.1 seconds. He didnt even spend time gathering information.
Despite that fact, not only did he seem to have the whole city memorized, but he was certain that he would find apanion at his destination.
Only one usible exnation came to mind.
Hes cheating.
It was weird.
Many guides and reference books had been published for the 4th curriculum since there were many graduates. However, not even one hero had managed to graduate from the 5th curriculum yet.
There was simply nowhere for anyone to get a guide.
Regardless, Hero Richel never showed hesitation. He knew exactly where he needed to go at any given moment and moved as swiftly as Luke, who back then used a guide.
I decided to watch a little longer to make sure.
PSS!
The face and body of the young aristocrat, who became the embodiment of the MAX-ss Righteous Demon Lord, began to change rapidly.
It wasnt stic surgery.
It was the power of Mons Teachings!
? Race: Human
? Level: 44
? Job: Aristocrat (Bloodline = Dignity )
? Skills: Health MAX, Endurance MAX, Resilience MAX, Agility MAX, Intelligence MAX, Immunity MAX, Strength MAX, Five Senses MAX, Charm MAX, Body MAX, Skin MAX, Hair MAX, Life Span MAX, Dignity C, Dark Energy D
? Status: Good
Upon having ones body-rted skills reach that point, their physique would go through a process of metamorphosis, causing changes drastic enough to turn them into apletely different person.
Oops
There were minor side effects, however.
The skinny aristocrats clothes were ripped apart by his new body equipped with protruding muscles.
Ah?!
Mother, look!
Is that a god?
Woah
I immediately felt the stunned and startled passers-bys eyes staring at me.
Some of the girls, blushing, even covered their faces.
Their excessive attention was a little annoying.
But it wasnt a problem.
Here are some clean socks.
Please take my pants.
Take this. Its a first-ss cloak.
Please ept these shoes I bought yesterday.
The demon followers hiding among themon citizens provided me with all the clothing I needed.
I looked ridiculous since I was given random clothing items, but the cloakfortably covered everything.
I would solve this problemter. I had much more important matters to focus on.
Well
Afterpleting my transformation using Master Mons teachings and receiving the support of the demonic followers, I followed Richel and Lanuvel.
Tink? Tink?
The Mercenary Guild was visited by so many people that the bell near the door would keep ringing untilte at night.
However, wars and monster hunts didnt happen every day, so the work of mercenaries could be very diverse.
From small orders to illegal activities, they did whatever their clients desired as long as they offered a reasonable payment.
There was also additional payment for hazardous working conditions.
Hourly payment.
Prizes.
Seasonal allowances.
Mercenaries, who had to be paid extra for various reasons, were much more expensive to maintain than ordinary soldiers, but they were stronger, more experienced, and didnt ask unnecessary questions.
In particr, named mercenaries, the ones recognized for their skills, were treated even better than knights.
If Hero Richel wanted to hirepanions, he would definitely target the named ones.
Just like how I hired the Mercenary King in the 1st round at a high cost.
Sorry.
Ah! Sir Holy Knight, what brings you to our mercenary guild? Are you here to make a request? Hire someone? Perhaps join us? The girl behind the counter asked politely.
She mistook Richel for a pdin because of his gorgeous attire.
I need a mercenary.
Do you have anyone in mind?
Stormbringer Rapaveli.
Ah! Shes on the third floor, which is for permanent members only. Her services cost quite a lot of money, but if youre familiar with her, I can tell her that youre looking for her.
Tell her Riel is asking for her.
Okay. Please wait a minute~
The Mercenary Guild used a club membership system.
However, it didnt restrict the mercenaries in any way. They still had the right to decide who they would work for.
The first floor was for guests.
The second floor was for associates.
The third floor was for permanent members.
ces such as the Continental Branch and the Mercenary Guild Headquarters had more stories. There could be differences in categorization depending on the region, but they were generally organized that way.
Most guild mercenaries with unknown stats were given the guest status.
Only those who had been active for a long time and had earned a reputation for themselves were promoted to associates, and the most prominent of them were chosen as permanent members.
If one became a member of the guild, the others attitude towards them would change significantly.
Unlike the first floor, which resembled a marketce, various amenities became exclusively avable to associates and permanent members starting from the second floor.
Naturally, the insolence of the third floors mercenaries grew in proportion with that since they were treated better than knights.
But this woman was different.
Whos out there asking for my attention Ah! Are you the one looking for me?
The beauty, who went down to the first floor, was at first indignant but immediately faltered when she saw Richel.
She changed her expression and bowed politely to say hello.
I knew why.
Externally, her stats looked like this:
? Race: Human
? Level: 754
? Job: Swordsman (Swordsmanship = sh )
? Skills: Swordsmanship S, Charm S, Dexterity A, Tempest A, Evasion A
? Status: Bored
But reality often differed.
? Race: Half Angel
? Level: 754
? Job: Swordsman (Swordsmanship = sh )
? Skills: Divinity SS, Fencing S, Concealment S, Dexterity A, Tempest A
? Status: Amazed, Concealed
She hid her race and skills.
The Concealment skill had the effect of disguising ones stats.
It might seem like a useless skill since no one except the Hero could view someone elses stats, but in Fantasy, there were items imbued with that ability. The magic sses were one such example.
It was often the elves who wanted to infiltrate human society that mastered this skill.
With it, they could simply stuff fur into their chests and hide their long ears with magic or a hat, and no one would suspect their identities anymore.
Allow me to introduce myself again. Im Riel.
Your holiness is immediately evident.
The Hero and amoner.
Richel acted naturally despite it being their first meeting and conversation.
Join my squad.
It would be an honor, Your Grace.
He hired one of the guilds finest mercenaries, but there wasnt even any talk about money.
The reason for her submission was hidden from third parties.
Stormbringer, who was thought to be human, also had mixed angelic blood. As soon as she saw Richels divinity, she immediately put herself under hismand.
Now everything became clear.
The MAX-ss Demon Lord has learned about corruption, which shouldnt be allowed to exist within the walls of this school!
***
When I was told he wanted to take away my achievements, I only grinned, but Richel was well prepared, right down to his attire.
Was it because he was the directors grandson?
He possessed extensive knowledge of the 5th curriculum even though it had just begun.
Maybe even more than I did.
Wee to the Heros Party! Im Lanuvel, an archaeologist. I study legends!
Nice to meet you, Miss Lanuvel. I am Rapaveli, a high-ranking mercenary nicknamed Stormbringer.
After a short introduction, Hero Richel continued his journey.
Sir Hero Riel, dont you want to meet the Sword God Alex?
About that, Miss Lanuvel. Im sorry, but I forgot to tell you that Sword God Alex sided with the Demon Lord because of his armless wife.
Really?!
Lanuvels surprised expression made me want to run out and hit her.
However, hardly restraining myself, I continued to eavesdrop.
Elf Princess Sylvia didnt, though. She has good skills, and if I recruit her, wed be able to count on the support of the entire Elf Kingdom.
Wow! Youre knowledgeable, Sir Hero Riel!
Thats an exaggeration.
He was targeting Sylvia?
The fact that he knew Alexs secret was already beyond preparation. What he was doing was actual deception and maniption.
I had to do something about it.
I decided to meet with Sylvia before Richel could.
***
And you are in good shape.
Sylvia, hosting aristocrats from the Dumpling Kingdom, decided to meet me in person even though it was the first time she had seen me.
During the 4th curriculum, she hated humans, but when the wretched Third Elf King took the throne, the personalities of his descendants changed dramatically.
However, Sylvia from the 5th curriculum was an elf princess who dreamed of marrying a handsome and strong man.
Thanks for thepliment. This is the result of constant morning workouts.
Not even a day had passed yet, but it didnt matter.
Ah I see
Sylvia stared in fascination at my bulging pectoral muscles.
Would you like to touch them?
Ah! If youll allow
Of course.
Then please excuse my rudeness. Wow You have such a broad chest. I would like to remain forever in your arms
She fell victim to the preferences of Third Elf King Elfheim, who loved humans.
At least it was better than hatred.
Princess Sylvia.
Please, just call me Sylvia, but put all your love into it.
What? Love? Had she gonepletely nuts?
Sylvia I want to introduce you to someone, but would you like to take a walk with me first?
Someone stronger than you?
You will see.
Im curious, so I dare not refuse.
Sylvia, pressing and rubbing her cheeks against my chest, agreed toe with me.
Excellent.
I grabbed Sylvias thin waist with my left hand.
Ah! Those biceps! Im not sure my fragile body can handle this.
Hey, itll be problematic if your back breaks right now.
My hand rested on her lumbar region between the 4th and 5th vertebrae. At least if it did, I would be ready to act.
At that moment, Sylvia rose to the tip of her toes and dared nt her lips on mine.
Mm-mm
Hmm
I didnt resist.
I wasnt a fan of LCD monitors, but I could provide such a service, given the old days.
We crossed the street and headed to the park.
There, we continued kissing, moving from ce to ce, and then quietly parted.
Because he would soon appear.
After a while, Hero Richel found Sylvia lying on a park bench.
And he eximed.
The princess is dead?!
This was why love should be expressed in moderation.
? Difficulty: I think the only woman who can withstand the love of cadet Kang Han Soo is Councilor Ssosia.
Oh! Trainee Teacher! Dont be silly!
Nows the time to keep watching him.
They had no time to stand still, considering the guards received a report from a MAX-ss Righteous Citizen.
Get him!
Subdue the murderer!
What have you done with Princess Sylvia?!
Dont let him get away!
I needed to hurry up to not miss my junior, who fled after being used of murdering a princess of a neighboring kingdom.
Chapter 292 - [19th Round] Unique Smile
Chapter 292 - [19th Round] Unique Smile
Run!
Sir Hero?! Whats the matter?!
Why do we need to run?
Lanuvel and Mercenary A were surprised. The Hero, who went to recruit Elf Princess Sylvia, returned alone. No, he was being pursued by numerous guards.
But they didnt stand still.
The dummies rushed after Richel.
I also followed them at a short distance.
They couldnt stay in a city full of guards. No, they couldnt stay in the Dumpling Kingdom, at least for as long as the charges hadnt been dropped yet.
Tsk tsk, this is where hisck of experience bes apparent.
Imended his refusal to be disarmed and arrested, but it wouldve been better for him if he cooperated with the guards until the misunderstanding was resolved.
Because of his actions, the misunderstanding only intensified.
His response was tantamount to confessing to a crime.
Sylvia wouldnt disappear like monsters upon death, and her body was in very good condition.
He could be saved if her corpse was enchanted to avoid decay and brought to Saintess A of the Holy Kingdom. It wouldve be clear that she died of shock, unable to withstand the kisses of the powerful MAX-ss Citizen.
But the suspect escaped.
Until Sylvia was sent to the Holy Kingdom and resurrected, the Heros Party would be on the list of wanted criminals.
? Appearance: Are you sure?
Of course, Trainee Teacher.
I experienced the same situation in my 1st round.
I prevented an attempt on my life by getting rid of a female assassin, but I was wrongly used of murdering an innocent beauty, turning me into a fugitive.
? Curiosity: How did it end?
Since the murderers identity was murky, I was found innocent since only citizens of the country and important people were under protection.
Until then, however, I had to hide and sleep in the woods like a homeless person.
Mosquitoes left no part of me unbitten!
That incident caused me a lot of trouble.
So, where are you going now?
Richel was used of killing Elf Princess Sylvia.
He couldnt stay in the Dumpling Kingdom anymore.
And a trip to the Elf Kingdom in the western part of the Central Continent was tantamount to suicide.
His remaining options were the Holy Empire to the north and the Holy Kingdom next door.
He could also go to thewless and uncivilized zone in the south, where the territory of the former Demon Lord used to be located.
Sir Hero Riel! Lanuvel has been here before! I remember there being a cliff ahead!
Trust me.
After leaving the capital of the Dumpling Kingdom, Richel jumped off the cliff.
Lanuvel and Mercenary A followed without hesitation.
Was he giving up on his adventure andmitting suicide?
No, I doubted it.
FSUH! FSHU!
A ship with huge sails appeared under the cliff.
The ship, carrying the Hero and the dummies on the deck, took off vertically into the heavens, ignoring gravity.
I knew of such vessels.
To be precise, I had been on one of those.
On the Flying Ship Laurita.\''
It was the inspiration for the hoverboatter created by Sage. However, the original and the copy were like a maglev train and a steam lotive in terms of their differences in characteristics.
Laurita was a Relic belonging to the guardians of the northern continent of Fantasy.
I was curious what kind of Relic was disyed in Hero Richels status, but it turned out to be one of the flying ships that usually flew between the cities of angels like intercity buses.
? Additional information: Flying ships are vehicles designed for young angels who are inexperienced in flying.
Thank you for the detailed exnation, smart and beautiful Trainee Teacher!
That aside
Hes cheating again.
This might sound strangeing from someone who had consistently used spatial transportation magic circles since the 2nd round to avoid requests for salvation from the locals, but the flying ship, which looked like a private jet with vertical takeoff andnding, was too much of a fraud.
With it, Hero Richel would be able to get anywhere in the Fantasy World in a very short period without any restrictions.
? Problem: It doesnt vite school rules. The student already owns it before he was summoned here.
If so
After hearing Trainee Teacher assert that he didnt break school rules, I spread my wings of the righteous hero and followed the vessel heading west at an extremely high speed.
They had gone past the Elf Kingdom and crossed the ridge separating the Central and Western Continents in the blink of an eye.
The Western Continent of the 4th curriculum was dark and cold due to the huge congestion of Lucifers, colossal flies that fed on light, covering its skies.
However, it was different in the 5th curriculum.
The food chain and environment werent destroyed because the Lucifers natural enemy, Zeuses, the gigantic mosquitoes, werent driven to extinction by the Phantom King Shakespeare.
As a consequence
? Exnation: There has been a rapid development in electrical engineering. Zeuses, releasing electrical discharges, were used as generators.
It was as Miss Trainee said.
Locals had begun selling electrical appliances in this part of Fantasy.
I thought it would resemble Earth, but many strange inventions had appeared since they werent without magic.
Ui-ee-hik!
Br-r-r-r!
In the 4th curriculum, Lucifers dominated the skies of the Western Continent. Now, however, nes were flying all over the airspace.
Fantasy aircraft.
Naturally
Unregistered aircraft! If you dontnd immediately, we will open fire! I repeat! If you dontnd immediately, we will open fire!
Radars and air traffic control were created and implemented as well.
Those might seem unnecessary measures to some due to the huge space the skies offered, but if even just one of those vehicles crashed into a city, it would cause enormous casualties and damages.
? Pride: The Western Continent made significant progress over the past two millennia thanks to cadet Kang Han Soo.
I learned about it from my demons and followers reports.
However, I didnt know their airspace control had be this advanced.
Dont shoot! Im a hero!
Regardless, you are wanted at the Central Continent! You must disarm andnd immediately. If you refuse, we will be forced to open fire!
This is madness! its the same here as well
Soldiers quickly surrounded Richels flying ship using vehicles that looked like winged motorcycles.
Their uniforms were too bizarre for them to be called guardians or knights.
Moreover
? Race: Vampire
? Level: 783
? Job: Celestial Lancer (Riding = Lance Mastery )
? Skills: Riding S, Lance Mastery A, Keen Sight A, Flying B, Blood Drinking B
? Status: Vignt
More than half of them werent humans but vampires. For side characters, they had quite great stats.
What should we do, Sir Hero?
To Lanuvels question, Hero Richel answered firmly:
Anyone who opposes the Hero in his journey to save the world is to be considered evil! Flying Ship Orgat! Switch tobat mode!
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Their vessel went into battle.
Dozens of shots rang out. Without any guidance, it automatically aimed and fired at the warriors surrounding them.
The Celestial Lancers of the Western Continent were no slouches, but thebat power of Orgat was far higher.
It lifted the enemys siege in just a few seconds.
I also want one for myself.
It was like a super robot!
I knew I had my wings of the righteous hero and the Snow Womans feathers for traveling, but I still wanted to take possession of his flying ship, which was why
Sir Hero! This is amazing Huh?!
Inded behind Mercenary A as she admired the vesselsbat power, grabbed her by her slender neck between her 6th and 7th vertebrae, and threw her off the deck.
Wow~
Afterward, I targeted Lanuvel, who was watching the aerial battle while leaning against the railing.
She hadnt yet noticed that Mercenary A had fallen overboard.
I crept behind her and gave her a good kick in her ass.
Kya?!
Her upper body bent forward, and Lanuvel toppled over.
I got rid of my stress~?
If Lanuvel used flight magic in time, she wouldnt die.
I would really love to get rid of her on the spot, but I didnt want to make Hero Richels life any easier, leaving me with no choice but to restrain myself.
I tookfort in the fact that her buttocks would hurt, and she wouldnt be able to walk normally for quite a long time.
Hey! How did you get here?
My junior finally noticed me.
With the help of my righteous heart~?
What?
Instead of answering, I tapped my foot lightly.
An invisible wave swept across the deck of the flying ship.
My goal
[A warning! A warning! Intruder alert!]
[Intruder detected]
[Wee aboard, Captain.]
[Battle mode canceled.]
[Please set the course.]
I hacked into Richels flying ship and took ownership of it.
If he died and regressed, Orgat would reappear in his stats, but at least he wouldnt be able to use it for this round.
Im sorry, but you need to leave my ship.
How dare you?! Filled with anger, Richel shouted, pulling a sword from his belt and rushing at me.
The divine energy on his de shone brightly.
It only made meugh, however.
What a pity.
I thought he would be better because he had human blood in him, but he fought like the rest of the stupid chickens.
He blindly relied on divine reflection, leaving himself defenseless.
I decided to show him the MAX-ss Heros method of fighting.
Its main focus was setting the tone for the entirety of the fight.
Facial expression and eye movements were very important in executing it.
While inbat, I often used the smile of the Righteous Hero, which instilled confidence.
That made it easy.
Ah! Richels legs buckled, causing him to lose his bnce and roll along the deck of the flying ship.
I didnt do anything.
I just looked at him.
What happened to you?
My juniors entire body was trembling like an aspen in the wind.
W-who are you? How can a human exude so much wrath? How can one soul withstand madness that powerful and intense It cant be! This is absurd!
What nonsense are you talking about?
I could onlyugh in response to his cowardly excuses after suddenly losing his fighting spirit.
And human?
I was the Second Demon Lord.
A unique one at that, considering I still hadnt lost my heart as the Righteous Hero.
Go away! D-donte near me!
What? But Ive never even moved from my spot yet.
Stay back! Go away!
Richel didnt listen to me at all.
While I did nothing but stand, he retreated so much his back hit the deck rail.
At that moment
FSHUH!
As ifmitting suicide, he jumped off Flying Ship Orgat.
It didnt quite work out as I nned
I just put a little force into my gaze, and he already got so scared?
It looked like he was raised in an enclosed environment.
As his senior, not the Demon Lord, I was worried about how hed be able to live independently.
Ahem.
At that moment, I heard a cough behind me.
They clearly werent nning on attacking me. Otherwise, they wouldnt have made their presence known in such a peaceful manner.
Turning around, I saw a beautiful vampire and a man with his arms crossed over his chest.
They looked familiar.
However, since I was hiding my identity, I greeted them with the smile of the righteous Hero and pretended it was my first time meeting them.
Greetings. I am Aristocrat A from the Central Continent. I have no ID with me, but I was chasing the criminal who killed the Elf Princess to get the bounty on his head.
In response, they grinned and looked at each other.
Haha! Great Hero, hiding your identity is useless. Even after two millennia, youre still the only being in this world that can smile like that.
Youre the reason why weve be so happy. Isnt that right, Shakespeare?
Ahem, thats right.
The strongest archmage and the epitome of beauty on the Western Continent.
They were like the perfect harmony of yin and yang, in which there were no ws.
But I grew a little concerned.
Looks like my trademark smile might be a problem.
Thest time I met the couple in front of me was 2,000 years ago
Chapter 293 - [19th Round] Terminator
Chapter 293 - [19th Round] Terminator
At that time, his stats were like this:
? Race: Great Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Wizard (Chastity Wisdom)
? Skills: Magic ZZZ, Sorcery ZZZ, Magic Power Z, Path of Magic Z, Intelligence Z
? Status: Good
Now:
? Race: Great Elemental
? Level: 999+
? Job: Connoisseur (Yin-Yang = Truth)
? Skills: Yin-Yang G, Elements G, Magic ZZZ, Eternal life ZZ, Energy Z
? Status: Good
Sword God Alex was incredibly strong, but Shakespeare was even far beyond the standards of primary education.
He was a boss with two G-rank skills in a ce where even a Z-ranked enemy could give heroes hell.
It was insane, considering his skills were adjusted ordingly for each course.
I found it difficult to imagine how strong he was in the secondary and tertiary courses.
What made me even more curious was his job.
I activated the Learn More function, which I hadnt used in a long time.
Connoisseur: This job can be acquired by patient and tenacious archmages that have fallen in love with an unprecedented beauty. Theres less than a 0.00001% chance of gaining it, but upon doing so, they would be freed from their old shackles. The truth would always be with them as they explore the worlds most outstanding abyss and realize the essence of yin and yang. For as long as the harmony of yin and yang remains intact, all of the Connoisseurs actions will lead to unconditional sess.
I had never seen a job so fraudulent. I found it hard to believe that the system designed it.
Unconditional sess?
What do you think of this, Trainee Teacher?
? Opinion: This is my first time seeing that job, but I think its romantic.
Romantic? Youre very sentimental!
It was definitely impressive.
But I had already lost my virginity at the beginning of the 1st round, which meant I could no longer be an archmage to aplish one of its founding conditions.
? Curiosity: How was cadet Kang Han Soos first time? Did you have a romantic night with a beautifuldy?
Nothing like that
After being beaten by Alex, who pretended to train me, I got drunk to ease the pain.
I couldnt remember what happened next.
When I woke up the next morning, the maid of the royal pce was sleeping naked next to me.
? Expectations: That maid fell in love with you, huh!
Another miss.
The maid wanted to be impregnated by the Hero to change her social position.
Romance or love wasnt her motive.
? Disappointment: Oh, Im sorry. I shouldnt have asked
Its okay, Trainee Teacher!
Fortunately, the maid didnt get pregnant. However, it taught me a lesson.
So from that moment on, I made sure to always keep my mind clear.
It was thanks to that behavior that I managed to avoid leaving my children here in Fantasy. Hence, I would one day depart from this world without regrets.
But the faculty members refused to let me go easily. The cowardly Second Demon also caught me in her web, turning me into the MAX-ss husband.
Great Hero, if you have time, I invite you to our home.
Please allow me to repay you for introducing me to my dearest Shakespeare.
Since the strongest couple on the Western Continent insisted, how could I refuse?
[The Orgats Flying Ship is on standby.]
[Please set a course.]
I had taken control of Orgats flying ship.
[Course set.]
[Initiating flight.]
If Richel, who jumped from the ship, had died, the world wouldve already copsed, but he had to be alive since nothing happened.
As his caring senior, I immediately took advantage of Shadow As honorary teacher position to check on his condition.
Ouch Damn
He was fine.
Looking at my junior, who didnt even break his ribs, I learned something new.
Fall damage was defined as normal physical damage in this world.
Hence, since his divine reflection was triggered, he sustained no damage.
This was a fact that I wasnt aware of. Angels were born with wings, after all, which meant they rarely fell.
At least I discovered I could throw him off a cliff next time.
Sir Hero Riel! Are you okay?
Someone attacked me on the ship!
Lanuvel and Mercenary A, who had just joined Richel, were fine as well, apart from a couple of broken bones.
I wasnt particrly surprised, considering I had no intention of killing them in the first ce.
After that, I also decided to check my body sitting on the throne in the Demon Lords castle.
My niece! I havent read Chapter 272 yet!
Neither have I, Mistress Ssosia.
Its not that you havent read it yet. It doesnt exist at all because the author took a break.
Break?! Hes worse than the Drug Demon Lord himself!
Such azy person needs to be put in a dungeon to make sure he only focuses on working on his novel.
Three women were reading a romance novel using a tiny smartphone screen.
The Addicted Spirit was on my head, Ssosia sat on myp, and Shadow A, bending over slightly, sat on the arm of the throne.
It was a little strange to watch this from the outside
This is our home, Great Hero.
Shakespeare pointed at the distance, where a dome-shaped bunker could be seen.
When I first saw it, it seemed pathetic to me, but my mind gradually changed as we got closer.
It was huge.
Really damn huge.
It was the same size as the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius.
What is that?
Thats the capital of the Eternal Night Empire, ruled by my wife. That dome saves the vampires from sunlight and allows them to live normally.
It was surrounded by low buildings, making it look like an egg without the yolk.
There seem to be people living outside the dome.
Every city in the empire has this structure, allowing humans and vampires to coexist. It took a long time for the two races toe together, though, and if it werent for Mons Teachings, it wouldve been much more difficult.
Wait. Mons Teachings?
I didnt think I would hear about Master Mons achievements outside the Central and Northern Continents.
Yes. he treats everyone equally, after all, including humans and vampires.
Right.
It wasnt difficult for humans and elves to get along, but things were different with vampires.
For humans, vampires were blood-sucking parasites, and for vampires, humans were livestock filled with nutrients.
Their very nature made despising each other almost natural.
After dering Mons Teachings as the state religion, racial discrimination has been eliminated. With our power, weve taken control over half of the Western Continent, and were in the process of conquering neighboring countries through cultural influence, not military conflict.
Cultural influence
I didnt think I would hear something like that in the wild, wild world of Fantasy.
Vampires with infinite life spans dont retire due to old age, so theyre basically the ones who hold the entire empire together, but the proliferation of flush toilets caused the number of humans to increase dramatically, equalizing the scale of power.
But that doesnt change the fact that most aristocrats are vampires. Wouldnt that mean the situation here hasnt changed much, then? Racial discrimination was just reced by ss discrimination.
I was really curious how the Eternal Night Empire could hold out for 2,000 years without their entire civilization copsing from within.
I was an emperor too, and right now, I was the Demon Lord.
This was a topic close to my heart.
Theres no problem with that, said the epitome of beauty with a bright smile on her face.
Why?
Because Im a vampire ve who cant live without Shakespeares blood. Hehe!
I dont think the empress ruling half of the Western Continent can say that
This woman hugging a middle-aged mans forearms and rubbing her cheeks against him was the Vampire Queen and ruler of the empire.
But its true. I cant drink other peoples blood even if I were to starve to death.
Then it is better for you two to be on good terms
She would die of anemia otherwise!
It had finally be clear how humans and vampires were able to reconcile.
Empresss Master: Human
Empress: Vampire
Royal Family: Vampires
Aristocrats: Vampires
Commoners: Humans
The empress ruled the empire and the vampires, but her husband ruled her.
Looking at this couple, I didnt feel any dominance in their rtionship, but the empires citizens felt differently.
? Whimper: I think their love is wonderful.
Trainee Teacher, youre too sentimental. You have a beautiful body and soul, though!
[Captain.]
[You have arrived at your destination.]
[Landing.]
While we were talking, we got to the home of the power couple.
This is impressive.
I had seen many things that had gone beyond what wasmon, but I still couldnt help but admire the panoramic view of the city.
The columns supporting the dome were multi-story buildings connected by tunnels like bridges, but what caught me by surprise even more than that was their mode of transportation.
Vehicles simr to trains and buses moved quickly between buildings without idents despite the absence of traffic lights and road signs.
That wasnt all.
There were many things here that reminded me of the Earth.
Fans, refrigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, TVs, cameras, telephones, elevators, esctors
Thanks to the addition of magic, their technology was even more efficient.
Their washing machines magically folded theundry that passed through the dryer and sent it to the closet.
It was a huge scam.
Sir Hero, theres nothing that Shakespeare cannot do! After all, he is my husband!
Shakespeareughed and provided an exnation.
Thanks to the truth, there is no invention that I cant make. Just having an idea of what I want to create and its focal details is enough.
Its all thanks to your job, huh
I thought it was stupid of me to even attempt to make a smartphone charger and bidet myself.
I should have turned to him right from the beginning!
If all of Shakespeares actions led to unconditional sess, he could definitely recreate Earths smartphones.
No, hed be able to make a far better invention than that.
Shakespeare petted his wife.
This power of mine isnt absolute, however. My inventions must obey the rules of this world. Time travel, inter-dimensional travel, and the merging of souls are impossible. My truth is only avable in this world, after all.
This is
He voiced a rather interesting list of things that were beyond his control.
Time travel, movement between dimensions, and merging of souls. The three main prohibitions of the Fantasy system.
Shakespeare knew the truth about the locals cruel fate.
A divided soul, an eternally-repeating life, an artificial destiny
From the moment onees to the conclusion that the truth they know is, in fact, true, it ceases to be the truth, for, at that point, it bes self-inflicted.
Uhh Sure.
What nonsense was he talking about?
But the truth still exists. One such example would be you being our hope.
Um
I couldnt understand what hes saying, but it didnt sound like an insult.
? Question: Cadet Kang Han Soo, how can a student, devoid of any hope, graduate? If the probability is 0%, wouldnt that be true?
Please exin it to me in a way that Id understand, intelligent Trainee Teacher!
? Exnation: To be a good senior, you need to pay more attention to your juniors.
Juniors? Ah!
I looked at what Richel, the Hero who crashnded somewhere on the Western Continent, was doing.
For a pathetic vampire, youre holding up pretty well.
Khhh!
Princess of Darkness, if you take a blood oath to obey me, Ill let you go.
Dont make meugh Khhhhhh!
Haha! Lets see how long you can hold out in the sunlight.
Princess of Darkness
That junior of mine was currently toying with Shakespeares daughter.
Does he want his journey to end in 0.1 seconds again?
Chapter 294 - [19th Round] Truth vs. Truth
Chapter 294 - [19th Round] Truth vs. Truth
Should I report this?
I couldnt just directly say, the Heros drying your daughter out under the sun, since I only learned about it because of Shadow As ability as an honorary teacher.
This was a privilege that the final boss, the Demon Lord, shouldnt have.
But there was another way I could bring it to their attention.
I could casually say, I would like to see your daughter.
Shakespeare would then contact her and notice what was happening.
Hey! Wheres your
Good Hero, I apologize, but could you wait a minute?
A floating hologram appeared in front of Shakespeares face.
The screen showed the Princess of Darkness being pinned to the ground by Hero Richels foot.
Judging by the angle of view, it was a shot from the skies.
It couldnt be.
You even have a satellite?
I didnt think I would see satellites in Fantasy.
The Evening Sun. This is a masterpiece that I invented 187 years ago. Since then, I have constantlyunched them into space, building a surveincework throughout the Western Continent.
Holy sh*t.
They were originally designed to block out the sun, causing an artificial sr eclipse. However, I soon realized that there were other uses for this. Lets take a look.
PIP!
Connoisseur Shakespeare controlled the hologram with his fingertip as he concentrated the power of his G-rank Yin-Yang skill on his staff, which he held in his right hand.
It didnt remain on his weapon, however. Instead, it disappeared somewhere.
No, it didnt disappear.
I looked up.
My view was blocked by the domes ceiling, so I couldnt see the sky, but I felt a huge umtion of energy above us.
It was very far away but within my perception.
Oh
I understood what Shakespeare was trying to do. His next words immediately confirmed my assumption, too.
My staff is connected to the Evening Sun. For the average wizard, this is but a tool that enhances and focuses magic, but to me, its a transmitter that allows me to bombard my target regardless of distance.
He had absolute strength.
Immediately after that
BJJJ!
A rainbow beam of light fell upon Richels head.
Was it because of the Divine Shield?
It didnt make sense.
His attacks were supposed to always be sessful, which meant the Heros survival was out of the question.
Even my current body, the incarnation of the Demon Lord, wouldnt survive such an attack, let alone a child who blindly relied on divinity.
But he didnt die
Even after a short wait, there was no sign of the worlds destruction.
Shakespeare loosened his grip over the staff. He didnt die because I had no intention of killing him. The Great Hero hase to visit for the first time in 2,000 years. I shouldnt make a fool of myself in front of you. Haha.
You really know everything.
Without the Hero, the world would copse, and everything would regress to the moment the Hero was summoned.
I looked at the hologram.
Richel and the Princess of Darkness had swapped ces.
The Princess of Darkness, who could now freely act thanks to an artificial sr eclipse, seized the Hero, who had no fight left in him.
FSHH!
A rope of bright red vampire blood wrapped around him.
Hurry, Rapaveli!
However, Hero Richel couldnt ept his loss.
He summoned apanion he had been deliberately hiding until thest moment.
Your Grace! I will save you!
Mercenary A ran out of the forest with Lanuvel.
Sir Hero?! Why are you fighting the Princess of Darkness?! She asked, clearly puzzled by the sudden turn of events. She had been searching the forest for food, like berries and mushrooms, along with Mercenary A. She had no idea what was happening.
Hero Richel replied. The Princess of Darkness is under the Demon Lords control!
Huh? What the hell was he talking about?
I wasnt even manipting Alex, let alone the Princess of Darkness, whom I didnt get in touch with at all.
He was using such a tant lie!
The dastardly Hero just made up an excuse to hide his atrocities in front of Lanuvel
Princess! Come to your senses!
Naturally, Lanuvel was stupid enough to immediately believe him
Dont worry about it, Good Hero. This is the Western Continent. There is no ce out of my reach here, Said Shakespeare as he observed the situation with me.
And in support of his words
Protect the princess!
Dont move! Lower your weapons and raise your hands!
Youre surrounded!
Surrender now!
The Eternal Night Empires army hadpletely encircled the Hero and his dummies.
But this wasnt the same helpless group that had attempted to apprehend their ship before.
The vampires before them were colossal and were d in ck armor from head to toe.
I wouldnt call it armor, though. They were more like some form of a special forces unit with k jackets and helmets.
It sounded strange, considering Fantasys setting, but I couldnt describe their gear any better.
They even had something that looked like a pistol in their right hand and a rectangr translucent shield in their left hand, covering their entire body.
I was too far away to check their stats, but I was certain their skills were outstanding.
Monsters
Theyre too strong!
The Heros Party was no match for them, even more so when considering the fact that the vampires were armed to the teeth, and the Hero and his members could only rely on their skills.
The reason the dummies were able to hold out even for a few seconds was only because of Shakespeares kindness.
They are also souls trapped in this world. Theyre simply being exploited by the Hero, which is why I dont want to kill them.
You still dont like violence, huh.
Even if Lanuvel and Mercenary A died, the world wouldnt crumble.
Shakespeareughed. Haha Its simply my nature.
The situation was quickly resolved.
With his hands and feet bound by a special rope and not with the blood of the Princess of Darkness, Richel had been neutralized.
His Divine Shield might seem versatile, but it was useless against binds.
There you have it.
If the Good Hero doesnt mind, I n to leave them as prisoners of the empire, at least until this divided world is destroyed.
Do what you want.
As his MAX-ss caring senior, I would keep looking after my junior, but I didnt have to save him.
I would simply observe.
And I would respect the judgment of the local that caught him and decided to take him into custody.
Was this the end of Richels journey?
As a hero with 100 years of experience, I doubted that.
As I expected
Sir Hero! Ill help you!
Lanuvel activated her magic.
What?!
Shakespeares calm expression changed dramatically.
It was understandable. White light enveloped the Hero Richel and Mercenary A and soon disappeared, after all.
Spatial movement.
Shakespeare had foreseen such an event and even created a special rope to prevent it from happening.
However, Lanuvels magic ignored those restrictions.
Her magic surpassed my invention, created with the power of Truth. This is my failure.
As long as the perfect harmony of Yin and Yang wasnt broken, the Connoisseur was guaranteed unconditional sess.
Yet, he failed for some reason.
What happened to Lanuvel?
She seems to have lost her life for sacrificing her level to activate powerful magic.
Lanuvels corpse, whose level dropped to zero, disappeared like a monster as she turned all her experience into magic.
The conclusion Shakespeare and I came to was that it was an irreversible death.
Its a familiar concept.
She guided heroes, but she would always find a way to die if she didnt like the adventure.
It was nothing out of the ordinary for me.
I even asked my cowardly wife about her personality, but she didnt know anything about her.
Lanuvel yed an important role in summoning heroes, but she wasnt much different from otherpanions otherwise.
Until her death, all she would do was interfere with the Hero.
But Shakespeare had different thoughts on this matter.
Lanuvel. In the ancientnguage, it means Truth. I used to think it was just a name, but now, seeing how it cancels out my Truth, Im beginning to think a little differently. Another Connoisseur. Or, just like the Great Hero, shes not bound by the rules of this world. Her existence can only be exined in such a way.
Perhaps.
I wouldve liked to meet and talk with Lanuvel personally, but I have lost that chance
Shakespeare seemed extremely disappointed.
I had a solution for his predicament, however.
Theres a way to do it. If you give me all the information I need, Ill give it to you in another world, where Lanuvel is still alive.
Oh!
Its a good idea, wouldnt you say so?
Yes! This might be even better than we can imagine! Although it requires borrowing the Heros power, it is an indirect sess in inter-dimensional travel and time travel, which has been impossible for 2,000 years!
I tilted my head to one side.
What can be done with it, though?
I could only return a few years back, not to a distant past.
Even history couldnt be changed.
Assume the day of the Heros summon is your starting point, and you spend 100 years here, learning and understanding all the blueprints and knowledge I have umted and passed on to you throughout that time. What will happen then?
Oh! I see!
Haha! It seems you understand the point Im trying to convey. It is exactly as you think! Another Shakespeare will receive the information umted over 100 years, eliminating the need to invent the same thing every time. You can move research 100 years ahead in an instant! Its a revolution!
His exnation made me understand why he was so happy.
It was a very interesting idea.
In theory, we could cause endless development.
? Worry: Im scared to even wonder if the result of that will still be the Fantasy World
Of course, Trainee Teacher! Well, perhaps?
In ordance with that, lets first start by creating a system that will allow me to control that flying ship at any time and any number of times.
Haha! It wont be a problem.
I decided to leave my junior and Mercenary A alone, who, thanks to Lanuvels magic, found themselves on the Central Continent.
There were more important things to do now, after all.
One month, three months, one year, three years
The Fantasy experience of the MAX-ss Demon Lord quickly umted.
But this couldntst forever.
While researching what other uses Wi-Fi had, a change urred.
He decided to take action?
Hero Richel led manypanions to storm the Demon Lords castle.
I would just ignore them, but
For Sir Riel.
For the Hero.
For my master.
For my owner.
For you.
There were many of them, and the variety of their jobs were impressive.
Tsk. I have to go.
I had a feeling that the Four Celestial Lords I appointed as the Demon Lords castle guards wouldntst long.
I guessed this was where the research for this round would end.
Haha! Here you go!
The Shakespeare connoisseur intuitively understood that the end of this world would soone.
He handed me histest masterpiece.
I like this design.
I especially liked its texture.
Lord of Demons and Hope, show this to the other me.
What is it called? I asked, climbing onto the Flying Ship Orgat.
This is Monfon A. He replied.
It was an excellent name, one I couldnt even imagineing up with.
Chapter 295 - [19th Round] Mollanphone
Chapter 295 - [19th Round] Monphone
Its name alone will probablypel people to get up and pray the moment they hear its rm
I put my monphone in the Demon Vault, which was created through the help of my control over Space.
It differed from the Vault, which was given as a reward for winning the Festival of Heroes.
It had no restrictions on volume and weight. In addition, it wasnt a Fantasy skill but my own ability. Hence, even if I changed my body, I wouldnt lose it.
I could endlessly store as many items as I wanted in it, but unfortunately, they wouldnt be able to avoid regression.
Regression fell under the jurisdiction of the directors Time, after all.
It didnt matter how many items I put in this storage. As soon as Hero traveled back in time, objects from Fantasy would immediately return to their original ces even if they were in it.
The same applied to products.
If materials from Fantasy were used to create them, they would also be subject to regression.
Hence, only objects and materials originating beyond Fantasy should be stored in it.
That wasnt possible for the locals born here, but it was possible for me, who received sponsorship from angels.
You didnt stay toote this time, cowardly hubby.
The safety of my copy is important.
I left the aristocrats body, which served as the Demon Lords incarnation, on the Flying Ship Orgat and transferred my mind to a copy.
I immediately felt my strength surge.
After all, despite the fragmentation of my power to amodate all of my copies, they were still vessels containing my soul.
Incarnations would be no more than incarnations.
I retrieved my monphone from the Demon Vault. Of course, it would never go missing in it, but it was never a bad idea to double-check.
Drug Demon Lord! Did you find yourself a new toy? The Addicted Spirit, sitting on my head, showed interest in it.
Putting the phone back in the vault, I replied. This smartphone is made specifically for my needs, which is why it has many different amazing features.
Woah! Show me!
Later. I need to teach my rude junior a lesson first.
Having received a good thrashing from Shakespeare and escaping through Lanuvels sacrifice, Hero Richel resurfaced after three years.
And he brought manypanions with him.
He seemed to have decided to give up trying to defeat the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion Noebius and Phantom King Shakespeare, considering he headed straight for the Demon Lord instead.
Richel moved as if he had let go of the idea of taking my achievements away.
? Appearance: He has already taken one of them, though.
What?! Trainee Teacher! How did that happen?
? Exnation: Unfortunately, he surpassed youst year for the person with the highest mary bounty in the world of Fantasy achievement.
I had such an achievement as well?
I didnt know about it at all.
After all, I had never met anyone insane enough to hunt the MAX-ss Righteous Hero for a mary reward.
You just didnt know that you met them.
Huh? What?
You didnt give the bounty hunters a chance to introduce themselves. You just immediately broke their necks since you didnt like how they looked at you.
It wasnt a big deal, which was why I forgot about it.
In any case, Hero Richel, who managed to take away one of my achievements, was now trying his best to y me.
I needed to hurry up. Otherwise, the percentages of him winning would increase.
Lord of Legends: Yasuho
Lord of Betrayal: Hanjo
Lord of Death: Silvaras
Lord of Steel: 2D
It had been four years since their creation, but nobody had been able to break through their line of defenses since they easily eliminated any intruders.
That was how it used to be, at least.
Lord of Betrayal Hanjo here. Theyve broken through the garden on the first floor, and the thick magical fog is making it hard to track them. I shall stay where I am and guard this ce. Hanjo, who betrayed her race and swore allegiance to the Demon Lord, reported.
Under normal circumstances, she would take to the skies and shoot down the Herospanions from a distance. However, she failed miserably today.
Hero Richel gave Magical Fog scrolls to hispanions even though they were already masters of stealth.
King of Assassins, Knight of Darkness, King of Rogues.
Based on my first round, those three were good at disguise and camouge. Hence, leaving them as bait, Richel managed to burst through the garden.
Legendary Lord Yasuho, reporting in from the dining room on the second floor. They rushed through my defenses like the wind, master, and I couldnt do anything because of the protection of the Heros Divinity.
That was within my expectations.
Sword Mastery was meant to deal physical damage against opponents.
Under the protection of Divinity, my junior fought Yasuho as hispanions ascended to the next floor, then followed suit right after.
Without the Holy Sword, Yasuho would continue to suffer from such tactics.
His wife performed no better.
Lord of Death Silvaras here! I couldnt take my eyes off the men that were better looking than my husband, which led to my failure to protect the banquet hall on the third floor I-Im s-sorry!
Was it because she was the pathetic Elf King Elfheims younger sister that she lost her mind whenever she was up against pumped-up males?
She wasnt like that when she was with me, but after leaving my side and reuniting with her husband, she took up her old habits again.
I knew the men who distracted her, too.
Knight King. Mercenary King.
During my first round, among mypanions, the Knight King boasted the best defense, and the Mercenary King who went through fire and water had a battle-hardened body.
If Sword King Alex was here now, they couldve be the Three Musketeers, but he was now in the arms of his wife the wings of his wife.
My friend Boris, full of love and hate, wontst long against them either.
Once they had broken through the fourth floor, which Boris was responsible for, they would go straight to the fifth, where there was no one waiting for them.
They would then descend upon me.
I hurriedly prepared to greet the guests in a way fitting for the MAX-ss Demon Lord.
What? Why are you chasing me away?
My junior ising soon. Do you really want to greet them while sitting on myp?
Hehe! You constantly insist that you are a civilized inhabitant, but youre pretty old-fashioned yourself, cowardly hubby.
What?!
Its whats trending right now. The Demon Lord meeting a squad of heroes with a beautiful woman sitting on hisp has be a standard technique.
My cowardly wife showed me the smartphone screen.
There was a manga page in which the Demon Lord, looking like a pimp with a naked girl sitting on hisp, met the Hero.
Isnt that one for adults?
15+.
Nonsense! How can that be?
The authors notes even express his surprise about his manga not being intended for people of all ages.
Hes just a shameless bastard.
Regardless, were those types of Demon Lords all the rage right now?
I didnt like it, but I didnt want to be seen as an old-fashioned F-ss Demon Lord.
Ill hide.
Until my order, Shadow A herself concealed her presence.
She seemed to have mistaken something.
I had no desire to put the pathetic Elf Kings ex-wife on myp.
Niece~ Niece~
What? There is nothing indecent about this.
Thats not what I mean. You look happy. You even have a huge smile on your face.
Stop lying! This is merely an indifferent expression of a proud beauty.
Heeheehee!
Stopughing.
What do you mean? Like my niece, this is just an indifferent expression. Heeheehee!
Auntie!
Meanwhile, former Prince Boris, now wearing a tight-fitting T-shirt and short shorts instead of a ck-and-white maid outfit, with his hands folded under his senselesslyrge and soft breasts, waited for the Heros squad members to finish their conversation.
Lord of Steel 2D is an android created with the help of science and magic. His skills arent high, but dont forget that he has Brave. However, with our individual strengthsbined, well definitely be able to defeat him even if our level drops to 1.
Sir, I have a question.
What is it, Aqua?
Cant we just ignore him this time too?
Not this time, no. Based on the information I know, he has no weaknesses. We can only win through numbers and brute force. Dont worry about it, though. I have prepared a special secret weapon for this!
God, Boris.
How could he let them do the briefing right under his nose?
By his behavior, Boris resembled the First Hero.
And for this, he would most likely pay.
Defeat and humiliation.
The Golden Golem of the God of War was summoned at the Demon Lords castle.
I thought that super robot disappeared along with the 4th curriculum!
It was the most powerful golem created by a wizard who turned the Northern Continent into an eternal battlefield.
And along with it were two more golems, which I saw for the first time.
A white one and a ck one.
Both had epaulets on their left shoulders with the image of a tower with an eye.
It was the symbol of Sages Tower, which meant he created them.
Bloody Sage. This is starting to annoy me.
Thest time I ordered a super robot from him, he made a fragile android girl for me. For Hero Richel, however, he made actualbat robots.
As soon as I saw their powerful arms and legs, I immediately felt the need to add them to my collection.
They wore strong armor, and on their heads were helmets, through which the sparkle of their blue eyes could be seen.
Fuck! Just unbelievable!
How could he make them so cool?!
Agh! Now wasnt the right time for me to admire them!
As soon as the three golems moved ording to my juniorsmand, the Demon Lords castle shook violently.
Im not sure if the castle can withstand this
Ssosia tried to dispel my concern.
Who do you think designed this building, cowardly hubby? Dont worry. This ce is actually stronger than it looks.
Well, time to find out if it is.
Hero Richel prepared well over the past three years, which allowed him to climb here without any losses.
However, I didnt acknowledge his merits.
This was the first time my junior entered the Demon Lords castle, yet he already knew how to defeat all Four Celestial Lords down to the smallest details.
That was simply impossible.
It was as if someone had leaked information to him.
I didnt even have to think about who would do such a thing.
The faculty members.
I knew they were sneaky bastards ever since they questioned my identity as the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, but now I was convinced that they definitely had no conscience.
My golems will fight the android!
You are incredible, Sir Hero!
I pay you my respects, sir.
Your skills are impressive
The ignorant dummies began to praise him.
I hated it, but I was too busy answering my mother on my monphone right now.
a衤Mother: Son, you reply to my messages quicker now. (7:42)
a衤Son: I changed my smartphone to a monphone. (7:43)
This invention could even work through space.
a衤Mother: Monphone? Is that the smartphone of Fantasy? (7:44)
a衤Son: Something like that, but much cooler. It has a lot of cool built-in functions. (7:45)
a衤Mother: Can it also transform into a robot? (7:46)
a衤Son: Into a robot? (7:47)
Why was she suddenly talking about robots?
a衤Mother: Its nothing special. Its just that all smartphones have such a function now. (7:48)
a衤Son: Why would smartphones have such a function? (7:49)
In what situation could one use such a small and easily breakable robot?
Maybe it could feed its owner with popcorn while theyre watching a movie in the theater?
a衤Mother: Sonny. Sorry. (7:50)
a衤Son: Huh? (7:51)
a衤Mother: Youre upset right now, arent you? You were probably in a good mood because you changed your old phone to a new one. Im sorry. (7:52)
a衤Son: Its all right. (7:53)
a衤Mother: Dont worry. Mom loves you even if youre a Fantasy redneck. (7:54)
Son: I love you too. I have guests. Ill contact you again when Im free. (7:55)
a衤Mother: Tomorrow morning at 10 oclock. I need to go to kindergarten school, so Ill be busy. (7:56)
a衤Son: Okay. (7:57)
As always, my mom charged her son with the power of love.
Hey hubby, are you okay? You look like youre about to cry.
Im fine. Dont worry.
I was waiting for the Hero and his dummies to appear.
Honored guests! Take my love!
Chapter 296 - [20th Round] Fair and Square!
Chapter 296 - [20th Round] Fair and Square!
Sometimes events didnt develop the way one imagined.
The situation with the enemy golems was an example of this.
Their thick limbs made their joints stronger, which shouldve increased their fighting power.
But what transpired surpassed everyones expectations.
Bang! Bam! Boom!
The android girl with slender limbs easily destroyed them.
It was hard to believe what was happening, even though I watched it unfold with my own eyes!
Why are the golems weaker than Boris?
The cat kicked the tigers asses.
Boris didnt even cheat using powerful magic like cowardly anime girls.
The conditions were equal.
They were all at level 1 and fought using martial arts.
All the conditions indicated that Boris was bound to be defeated.
However, it was actually the opposite.
Boris single-handedly destroyed Richels party.
Kh?!
Aaaaghh?!
Phhhhh!
With his slender figure, he defeated individuals farrger than him.
The final victory was only a matter of time.
It was Boriss moment of glory.
Bang!
Crack!
Bam!
The three powerful golems, which my junior called his secret weapons, quickly turned into heaps of scrap metal.
They couldnt even fight back since their thick limbs couldnt withstand Boriss blows.
Was the difference in theirbat power really that great?
This isnt as surprising as you think, cowardly hubby.
How so?
Think about it. What would happen if Romantium chopsticks collided against steel pipes?
Ah!
Ssosias example was easy to understand.
Romantium vs. Steel.
The legendary metal Romantiums strength depended on the power of love.
On the other hand, the enemy golems were made of steel, amon metal found everywhere.
They werent even worthparing.
Boriss founding material made it pointless to discuss the thickness of the golems limbs and thews of physics.
Stop 2D! Quick!
Sir Hero! 2D is too strong!
2Dsing!
The dummies Hero Richel gathered for three years were eliminated in 30 minutes since they met thest Celestial Lord, preventing them from even reaching me.
What the hell?! They lied to me about thebat power of 2D, Lord of Steel Ugh?!
The Hero, cursing those who gave him false information, was rendered unable to speak.
Listen carefully, numbskull. My name is Boris, not 2D. I was the dark prince who ruled over the three stars of Andromeda. That is my real identity.
Im not a numbskull! My name is Kkkkhkh!
Im by no means interested in the name of a loser. Ill forget about it once I regress anyway.
Get your dirty hands off me
CRACK!
Borismitted a terrible crime against Hero Richel.
Oh, God! Oh no! My friend Boris! What have you done?!
He broke his neck not between his 6th and 7th vertebrae, where cervical hernia most often urred, but between his 4th and 5th, which was essentially a meaningless ce.
In other words, he was telling him that he wasnt even worthy of herniated discs!
That was an indelible disgrace!
He was far more malevolent than the Demon Lord himself.
If thats a disgrace, then what I feel every time I sleep with you is a real mockery.
Hey! If anyone hears that, they might get the wrong idea! Besides, thest time we slept together was three years ago.
That doesnt change my point.
Listen to the MAX-ss Righteous Demon Lord before you speak. Im only mocking your pelvis.
Thats what Im talking about!
Those arepletely different things! Like Mon and Mun.
Mon?
Oh! Master Mon! You decided to show yourself. Please impart words of wisdom to this stupid demon who cant seem to understand the difference between Mon and Mun, try as she might.
Mon? Mon~
Do you understand now, cowardly wife?
No. Mon just swayed from side to side as usual.
Thats the whole point.
Tsk tsk. Youll be able to understand it one day.
When Richels neck was brutally broken, the world of Fantasy began to crumble, and we immediately regressed.
Everything from Lanuvel to the Demon Lords ruined castle returned to its original state.
Additionally
Karma E Karma D
Since the director changed the rules, all of the Heros skills remained the same, but the rank of his Karma increased.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Karma
? Rank: D
? C: Credibility diminishes every regression.
? D: Favor diminishes every regression.
? E: Fame decreases every regression.
? F: Reputation decreases every regression.
Favor, fame, reputation.
Even if they decreased, they didnt affect thebat power.
However, their fall discouraged the inhabitants of Fantasy from cooperating, which was indispensable in the Heros adventures.
I didnt ignore the Hero, though.
Hahaha! You dare call yourself a hero and even desire to challenge the Demon Lord Parmamon with such a weak spine?! And you, Lanuvel. Your pitiful pelvis Huh?!
The unexpected event Demon Lords Incarnation weed Hero Richel like the prologue of a game.
Again?!
Dont tell me you didnt expect this?
This event would continue to repeat itself!
I wanted to relieve stress, but I didnt get a chance to fight because of Boris. It upset me.
Sneaky junior! I bestow upon you a blessing!
Hahaha!
I wont let you hit me so easily this time Huh?!
I hadnt been fooling around for the past three years either.
Having be ustomed to the body of the young aristocrat, I began to manage it more effectively.
After jumping, I fired my knee into his lower jaw, tossing him into the air, then performed abination that I learned from my dearrade Noebius.
Mon! Mon! Moaan!
It was important to maintain a rhythm.
Bang! Bang! Snap!
I wasnt done yet.
The most important part of it was to make sure he wouldnt fall to the ground and lose consciousness.
x10bo! Not bad!
x20bo! Good!
x30bo! Excellent!
x40bo! Ideal!
Monphone was better than Earths smartphones!
I wasnt a Fantasy redneck!
I would prove it to my mom tomorrow at 10 AM!
The Counts stupid son had gone mad
Has Demon Lord Parmamon really risen
The Count probably just didnt discipline his heir properly
Are you just going to watch this? If you dont intervene, the Hero will die!
The surprised nobles raised a fuss, and the royal knights drew their swords and rushed to help.
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
The Demon Lords Incarnation that had beaten Hero Richel copsed to the floor.
This time, my wounds were fatal.
Bad luck?
The Dumpling King, seeing that the situation was resolved, finally spoke up.
How could this happen in my domain?! Hero! Hero, can you hear me?
Uh O-oh Kh Y-yes, Your Majesty.
You are to me for what happened since youve shown yourself to be weaker than my subject.
Thank you, Your Majesty Wait, what? Kha-kha!
Hero Richel, coughing up blood, was amazed by the Dumpling Kings insolence.
I will not spread rumors that the Hero is weaker than the young aristocrat. However, in return, Imand you to serve me for one year.
This is insane
Did you say something, Hero?
Oh, no, Your Majesty.
He humbly bowed his head, not wanting to spend ten years sitting in a dirty dungeon for insulting the king.
The expression on the Dumpling Kings face softened. Did he like the humility of the Hero chosen by God?
But if you are as weak as you are now, you will not be able to serve me properly. I shall write a letter of rmendation that would allow you to train with the Sword God Alex.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Kha-kha-kha!
You may go.
As you wish Kh.
Hero Richel left the throne room, muttering curses under his breath and spitting out his knocked-out teeth.
Lanuvel looked at his back with anxiety on her face.
She seemed to be already thinking of tapping out of this world.
Sir Hero! I think you should undergo medical treatment first. Having caught up with him, Lanuvel nevertheless decided to watch the Hero a little longer.
Its okay. Kh-kh-kh.
Your condition might prove detrimental for your journey that will start in a year.
In a year
You have the chance to learn from the Sword God Alex himself, at least!
However, there wasnt a shadow of joy on Richels expression. He knew that Alex was already on the Demon Lords side, after all.
After a moment, however, Hero Richel smiled, lifting the edges of his swollen lips.
Miss Lanuvel is right.
Hehehe.
It didnt work out well, but it was worth it as the Demon Lords incarnation has definitely died.
His MAX-ss senior being unable to interfere with him anymore as I did in the 19th round seemed to satisfy my junior.
It was quite an optimistic way of thinking.
What happened to you, my cowardly husband? I thought you were going to harass his journey again with clever tricks.
Why would I?
His Karma ranked up, but unless Riel is an idiot, hes better prepared to invade the Demon Lords castle than he was before. Look! Hes already taking action.
As Ssosia said, Hero Richel, leaving the throne room, didnt go to the wretched bedroom of the royal pce.
Instead, he went out into the garden and shouted. Flying Ship Orgat!
p!
He summoned the vehicle that I had taken away from him earlier.
Its ownership was returned to him as soon as he regressed.
I didnt resent him for it.
I also used the ck Box to invoke the Holy Sword and Divine from the very beginning of my journey.
However, I wouldnt just sit idly by.
My father-inw waszy and didnt progress over time. However, I, the MAX-ss impartial Demon Lord, waspletely different from him!
The fight had to be fair.
I will show you how broad-minded your husband truly is, Ssosia.
What? Youve got tricks up your sleeves again?
Not tricks. Progress.
p!
I took out Monphone A from the Demon Vault and pressed the button to send data out.
Smartphones dont exist here, cowardly husband. Who are you even nning on contacting?
Ssosia had a really good question.
Im contacting the manufacturer of Monphone.
It didnt matter how many times Hero Richel regressed.
The world of Fantasy would continue to evolve further.
[Transferring data Done]
[Unpacking Done]
[Waiting for confirmation.]
[Recipient: Shakespeare]
Ah! Reading a message from my past-yet-also-future self is apletely different experience. Ive received aplete description of the situation, so I have no questions.
Shakespeare, the Connoisseur and de facto ruler of the Western Continent, didnt seem surprised or shocked when he contacted me for the first time.
It looked like the other Shakespeare got him up to speed quite well.
Thanks to him, I was able to eliminate a lot of otherwise needed exnations.
Lord of Demons and Hope, this world will obey your truth.
My truth?
I wasnt interested in such murky philosophical reasoning.
The teachings of Grand Master Mon were all I needed.
He was fair and just to all!
As his disciple and first apostle, I became the MAX-ss Impartial Demon Lord.
Therefore
I wouldnt allow the only Hero who could regress to be infinitely stronger.
Shouldnt the fight be fair?
Shakespeare, take control of the Flying Ship Orgat and turn over its ownership to me.
Give me five seconds.
Im confiscating the private jet your parents bought you to attend primary school, my sneaky junior!
Chapter 297 - [20th Round] The Stench of Corruption
Chapter 297 - [20th Round] The Stench of Corruption
This is just ridiculous! Something is really wrong with this ce!
Hero Richel, whose flying ship was confiscated, sat in the garden of the royal pce with a desperate expression on his face.
He had just started a new round, and his vehicle had already been stolen.
He did nothing but cheat, and now he mutteredints to himself that the world wasnt being fair to him. How pathetic.
I dont think you have the right to say anything about cheating, hubby, considering you rushed to the Demon Lords castle at level 1 and defeated my father in just one day.
Whats that got anything to do with this?
Ssosia didnt seem to want to recognize the merits of her MAX-ss husband.
The ck Box was perfectly legal.
It was a skill and job developed by my resentful senior, whose power was scattered throughout Fantasy.
However, it wasnt the ck Box that allowed me to win.
Even if I didnt have it, I was strong enough to defeat my father-inw at level 1.
How?
Thanks to Master Mons teachings, I was able to harness the power of biology and developed my body.
Aside from his Dark Energy, the previous Demon Lord couldnt do anything to oppose me.
But you had problems with me.
You distracted me with your cowardly chest. Even my Holy Sword bounced off of them! You should at least be aware of your cowardice!
Dont make excuses for sexual harassment!
Meanwhile, the adventure of Hero Richel continued. Without his vessel this time.
Breaking his promise to serve the Dumpling King for a year, he fled at night and headed north.
Hero Richel went to the Mercenary Guild first and invited Mercenary A again, nicknamed The Stormbringer, to join his party. He then continued on his way, setting up camp in the forest to avoid being found by his pursuers from the Dumpling Kingdom.
Where was he going?
I didnt have to wait long to find out. He headed to a secret ce that even I didnt know about with my 100 years of experience.
A cemetery.
But it was no ordinary cemetery. It was of the Lanuberk imperial family, the founders of the Holy Empire.
Only the emperor and his immediate heirs could be buried in it.
Of course, public ess was strictly forbidden, and its security was so high grave robbers wouldnt even dare peek into it.
Most powerful families,rge or small, had such cemeteries.
So I didnt pay much attention to them.
However, as soon as Hero Richel spilled his blood on the tombstone outside the cemetery, something strange happened.
BRRRRR!
It split vertically in two, with both pieces skidding to the side like a sliding door.
But there was no secret staircase leading to a dungeon.
Rather, it revealed a spatial gate, a resonant sky-blue vortex filled with white divinity mixed with blue magic.
Sir Hero! I dont think we should enter that.
Its alright, Lanuvel. Dont worry. Ill just show the fools what a noble lineage is.
Oh
Lets go inside. I didnt want to do this, but now I havepletely lost interest in the world of Fantasy.
Is that so
For a moment, I doubted my eyes.
What happened to Lanuvel?
Her expression suddenly darkened, losing his falsified cuteness.
Hero Richel didnt seem to notice the changes in her behavior, but not me, who had spent many years next to her.
She was acting strange.
And in what form does her strangeness manifest in, hubby?
Watch closely. Lanuvels no longer swinging her pelvis from side to side, as she usually does when entering any dungeon.
You are so pathetic. That just means youre constantly staring at that beautiful girls buttocks whenever you enter a dungeon.
I only noticed it because it annoyed me.
I wouldnt deny that I had an unrequited love for Lanuvel in the first days of my 1st round when everything seemed scary and unfamiliar.
I relied on her at least until I realized that she deliberately stepped on traps or chose the most difficult path toplicate my adventure.
FSHH!
Hero Richel, Mercenary A, and Lanuvel entered the dimensional gate while Ssosia despised her MAX-ss husband.
And they were gone.
I could use Shadow As honorary teacher status to secretly oversee all students.
However
There seems to be something wrong, my asses-of-beautiful-girls-loving hubby.
I love pelvic bones, not butts. Anyway, I noticed that too. Richel disappeared from the surveince system.
My junior, whom I could spy on until quite recently,pletely disappeared from my radar.
How did that happen?
I wanted to consult with Ssosia, the system developer, but
Stop saying such strange things.
Strange? My pride was hurt.
Ssosia, I tried not to talk about it, but to avoid such misunderstandings, I have to confess. Your hip bones are the best.
Of the countless pelvic bones I examined, she had the most beautiful.
Huh? I-I dont want to hear anything! Idiot!
Heeheehee! My niece is so cute when she blushes~
Auntie, I Hey?
I rose from the Demon Lords throne, interrupting Ssosias excuses.
It was time to survey the Lanuberk family cemetery with my own eyes.
It was possible to fly there using my wings, but I decided to use Flying Ship Orgat instead.
For the sake of fairness.
Since I went on a business trip to the north of the Central Continent for no reason, it would only be fair to send the rest of my copies there to not vite the overall scenario.
However, whenever a new variable intervened, history changed.
Introduction: The Hero summoned a flying ship.
Main body: The Demon Lord confiscated the flying ship.
Conclusion: The Demon Lord boarded the flying ship.
Richel summoned a flying ship, so Demon Lord Parmamon decided to respond.
In other words, I didnt vite the principle of fairness.
The reason behind my actions was my dastardly juniors movements.
? Admiration: You are simply amazing. You make even that interpretation possible!
One must be able to adapt to any situation, Trainee Teacher!
Even the faculty members, who were always prejudiced against me, wouldnt be able to say anything against it.
[Wee aboard, Captain.]
[Please set the course.]
If another Hero summoned a flying ship, my copy would also have to act the same way I did for the sake of the principle of justice. However, except for my little junior Richel, whom his parents provided well for, all heroes began their adventures empty-handed.
So there was no problem with that.
The Holy Empire of the Central Continent is the country founded by the descendants of God, right?
Knowing the secret of the royal family, Richel opened a secret gate with his blood.
Are you trying to say that my aunts the founder of the Lanuberk family?
Are youing with me?
My cowardly wife boarded Orgat.
If I dont go with you, youll think that I stayed because I felt ashamed. I want to understand your affection towards pelvic bones.
My niece~
Dont take this the wrong way!
I had enough of their tongue-twisting.
Since when did my cowardly wife act like a cute character?
A shback of the 1st round suddenly came to mind.
We were aboard the Flying Ship Laurita, borrowed from the guardian of the Northern Continent, and we were breaking through the blizzard towards the hideout of one of the Five Great Disasters, the Snow Queen Elsh.
? Delight: It must have been very romantic.
The cold was fierce, Trainee Teacher, who has a warm heart and soul.
And the day turned out to be strange.
I fell in love with the Sword Princess, who criticized me for killing the Ice Princess that fled and caused suffering to the vigers.
Hence, that time, I mustered up the courage and called her on Lauritas deck to confess my love.
It was a very dark night. The sky didnt have even a single star.
? Anticipation: How did it go?
Walking on the deck covered with a thinyer of ice, the Sword Princess slipped and fell overboard somewhere in the snow.
? Embarrassment: Bad luck
Yeah.
I never imagined that the woman called the strongest knight of Fantasy would fall so ridiculously.
Rescue operation?
I didnt want mypanions to start ming me again, so I didnt tell anyone about it and went to bed.
I thought she froze to death, but the Sword Princesster turned out alive and stayed in my squad until the very end of my 1st round.
Needless to say, our rtionship was very tense.
And you had a son from such a woman?
I didnt answer Ssosias jealous-filled question.
It was the best move I could take back then.
The Northern Continent, ruled by a sweet three-year-old emperor, needed a sessor. Even now, I dont regret my choice.
Why the Sword Princess?
Because the nurse who gave birth to me was her childhood friend, and she trusted her.
There was no other reason.
[Captain.]
[You have arrived at your destination.]
[Landing.]
Flying Ship Orgat, which used to be a public transport for young angels, was very fast.
In the time it took to fly from south to north of the Central Continent, I wouldve only had time to satisfy Ssosia three times.
Did you actually do the math?!
No.
Didnt she know what an analogy was? All I meant was that we arrived at our destination in no time.
I-I know that!
You are as cute as ever today, my niece~!
Please be quiet, auntie. Just for today.
Heeheehee!
And dontugh with that expression on your face!
Youre my niece, so you can openly confess to me.
Confess what?
Your obscenities~
What?!
I ignored their argument and looked at the tombstone.
However, there was a noise around me that prevented me from concentrating.
Its a divine ship!
Ah! Oh my God!
God Herself has descended upon us!
The Flying Ship Orgat was enormous. It was a five-masted sailboat, making it hard to miss.
The people of the Holy Empire were amazed to see ite to a stop at the cemeterys nds.
This is the descent of God!
There was some truth in this.
The Demon Lord was also a deity, and my power made up half of the world of Fantasy.
I wanted to tell them immediately about the greatness of Master Mon, but at the moment, I was busy with my dastardly junior.
However, I couldnt just ignore the crowd of onlookers since I didnt want my identity to be revealed.
Someone had to go out to them and distract them.
A good idea came to my mind.
p!
You called, Master?
She was reborn as a spirit with a cloaca, but she still looked like a beautiful goddess.
Rice Cake.
The main face of the Festival of Heroes.
The pinnacle of beauty!
No resident would doubt her nobility and holiness.
I apologize for asking you to do this immediately after summoning you, but please go out to the people and tell them about Mons Teachings.
Please leave it to me.
Unlike the First Spirit, whose facial expressions and speech was deplorable, Rice Cake, who used to be Saintess H, was the perfect goddess in every way!
Ah!
Oh!
God!
Everyone who saw her hovering in the air prostrated themselves before her, which was quite natural for the citizens of the Holy Empire, who considered themselves the people of God.
And at this moment
FASHUH!
The Hero Richel, Lanuvel, and Mercenary A jumped out from the sky-blue spatial gate of the newly opened tombstone.
Everything was different about them now, however.
Their level and skills had increased significantly, and their equipment was much better than before.
Hmm? What the hell?
The Holy Sword C hung on Hero Richels belt.
As far as I remembered, it contained the soul of the former Hero.
And it had the function of changing its shape and size.
I didnt use it because I was pissed off by the instructions of the soul within, but it seemed to be useful for those who felt lonely.
Its name was different now, however.
Monrod, the Holy Sword of Mermaids!
That wasnt the problem, though. There were five Holy Swords in total in the 5th curriculum, each hidden on one of the five Continents.
The current Holy Sword C, as in the 4th curriculum, was located on the Northern Continent.
But he got hold of this Holy Sword from a tomb on the Central Continent?
Was it just me, or was the smell of corruption running rampant?
What?!
Just as I was surprised by his new weapon, Hero Richel was surprised when he looked in my direction, bewildered by the fact that his lost vehicle now belonged to the MAX-ss Impartial Demon Lord.
That was as expected.
Except
Hey, where do you think youre looking at?
My dastardly junior didnt even nce at his distinguished senior.
His gaze was fixed on someone else
Grandma?
His eyes were on my personal heating pad, who was busily preaching about Mons Teachings.
Chapter 298 - [20th Round] Grandma?
Chapter 298 - [20th Round] Grandma?
Grandma?
Hero Richel was the directors grandson.
Therefore, there was only one entity whom he would call that.
The First Angel, also known as the Fantasy system operator and the director, flunked the MAX-ss student due to her discriminative notions.
What about Saintess H?
? Correction: Her name is Hippolia.
She directed the Festival of Heroes and had been devoting herself to me for almost 90 years. I wouldnt be able to find someone more loyal.
I might not trust my wife despite her beautiful pelvic bones, but I would always trust Saintess H.
The proof of her loyalty was the 8th round.
When I died and was reborn, she protected the nurse that conceived me.
Thats just ridiculous.
If she really were the First Angel, she would have gotten rid of me long ago.
There was other evidence as well.
Hey, Ssosia, tell me what your aunt looks like.
She looks very different from her, if thats what you mean.
I see.
How exactly were they different?
Well, for one thing, her waist is bigger than her breasts.
Aha!
I felt like rejoicing. I already firmly believed in her from the very beginning, but now at least now, it has be undeniable that my first heating pad couldnt be the evil director.
The First Spirit, lying on my head, voiced her own opinion as well.
Ive always wondered how she can fly since whenever she does, she looks like a huge peach with wings. Hehe!
An obese angel
I couldnt even believe it.
Although the angels were stupid chickens, their beauty was wless.
It was hard to believe their leader would have a body that made it difficult even to fly with.
Its true, Drug Demon Lord!
Hmmm.
Trust me! Shes as round as a ball and can do nothing on her own if no one takes care of her. Shes a spirit of light, but all she does is eat and sleep all day long. Her face has be so swollen that its be impossible to say with certainty whether her eyes are open or closed. He-he-he!
Is that so
Unlike the director they described, my personal heating pad was beautiful both inside and out.
She was a real work of art!
Eyes, nose, mouth, arms, feet, chest, waist, cervical vertebrae, pelvis, skull, lumbar vertebrae
Her beauty seemed to have been carefully created by respective masters at every single detail.
It was rude topare the face of the Festival of Heroes with the director.
Their personalities are alsopletely different, added Ssosia.
The First Spirit agreed with her.
As my niece said, whenever she speaks, she onlyins about the world around her. And when shes quiet, she only did what she could do whileying down, like giving orders to the angels with just hand gestures.
Addicted Spirit
What?
Youre just like her.
She didntin about the world, but shey on my head all day, sniffing at me and giving orders to the spirits.
I didnt know how her limbs and wings hadnt yet degraded, as in the case of her cloaca.
Thats because I love my children! Ize around to ensure theyll have jobs and responsibilities that allow them to realize the meaning of their existence! I dont want to deprive them of their work and the meaning of life! I am definitely different from the First Angel!
You sound pathetic, auntie.
Torment my nieces ass for not respecting her aunt, Drug Demon Lord!
I understood what they were trying to say, though.
My hardworking Rice Cake and this institutionszy director couldnt be the same person.
I looked back at the Festival of Heroes.
After graduating from elementary school with excellent grades and changing my specialization from Hero to a Saint, I entered the Great Temple to collect the treasures.
? Glittering eyes: I remember that too.
My secret friends help was invaluable!
As a Saint, I had to cleanse the followers of the demons locked up behind bars.
In the end, thanks to those prisoners support, I was able to corrupt Saintess H.
We spent a lot of time touching each others spines while the golems guarding the Great Temple watched us.
I still hadnt forgotten how I felt back then.
If she really were the school director, she wouldnt have let me grab her by her pelvis.
The system also said that she was assigned to her role at the Festival of Heroes.
Grandma!
However, Hero Richel didnt give up.
Im not your grandmother
Grandma!
Saintess H always had a gentle smile on her face, but it seemed that even she found it difficult to ignore his rudeness.
Her smile faded.
I must show kindness to heroes, no matter how rude they are. And I would like to keep true to that responsibility, but
Grandma!
I cannot forgive you for trying to embroil my owner and me.
Im sorry, grandma, but I cant take it anymore! I cant be in this stupid ce anymore!
You
Im sorry for inadvertently revealing your identity, but this is bing unbearable. Im about to go crazy! These stupid study guides and ipetent teachers have worn me out. Let me out of here!
Their conversation failed.
Regardless of what she answered him, Hero Richel continued to bend her identity.
Hmm
It seemed I had no choice but to intervene.
I grabbed him by the neck as he kept shouting for her to let him leave this ce.
Hey, junior.
Khkhkh!
Stop it. Even if youre right, shes still my property. She even reincarnated into a spirit with a cloaca to be mine. The price she had to pay is so high that it still makes tears well up in our eyes. Do you understand what Im trying to say here, chicken head?
Khh?!
Keep your answers short.
Kh!
Well done.
The system (Goddess), who looked like Ssosia in her youth, said that Saintess H, appointed to run the Festival of Heroes, belonged to the system. Essentially, she was a puppet that could be taken control of at any time.
It bothered me, so I reincarnated her into a spirit to separate her from the system, thereby eliminating such a dangerous variable.
That rendered what he thought of her obsolete.
FSHUH!
My daring D-rank junior soon unsheathed his Holy Sword C and attacked me, his MAX-ss senior.
How cute.
SWISH!
The wings of the righteous hero, sticking out of my back, parried the Heros weapon with so much power that it flew from his hands.
p!
However, from the gem imbued on its hilt, a woman in armor resembling a bikini emerged.
Ha-ah!
She grabbed Holy Sword C and swung it at me as she screamed.
? Race: Sword Soul
? Level: 7
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Interpretation A, Friendship A, Oblivion B, Travel B, Sword Mastery B
? Status: Affiliation, Appeal
I immediately knew who she was the moment I checked her stats.
Golem D.
A foolish predecessor of mine who fought to the death alone for the sake of saving her uselesspanions.
She was such a stupid soul she even tried to mentor her MAX-ss junior based on her idiotic experiences.
Her existence aside, the Holy Sword C that I knew didnt have such a convenient summoning function.
BOOM!
However, her swordsmanship left her with a lot to be desired.
Huh?!
It didnt impress me since I had achieved MAX-rank many times.
Nevertheless, my curiosity grew.
I want to see what happens when you return to the Holy Sword without bones.
What?! Please spare me, Demon Lord!
Dont worry. Ill be careful
Snap!
My body, which was as imprable as a fortress, swayed like a leaf in the wind, and my sacred finger, which conquered even the First Spirit and the Second Demon, was broken. Holy Sword C wasnt capable of such feats.
I quickly understood what happened.
? Race: United Spirit of Fantasy
? Level: 7

My clones level had plummeted.
For me, trained by the great Master Mon, skills were just a bonus, but everything was rtive.
Demon Lord Parmamon! There is nothing else you can do! Shouted Hero Richel, escaping from my grasp.
Where was his confidenceing from?
? Race: Half-angel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Divinity ZZ, Annihtion Z, ughter Z, Dexterity MAX, Combat SSS
? Status: Holy Sword, Blessing, Enhancement, Engraving, Protection
His level.
As the Demon Lord, I suffered from a handicap that reduced my level to match the Heros.
If there were two heroes in front of me, my level would apparently follow the weakest one.
Brave fairly lowered everyone around the user to level 1.
But with two Heroes, one of which was weaker, fairness was out of the question.
Since I naturally adjusted my level to equal the lowest of the two, they probably thought they could make a punching bag out of me.
That was how I ended up in this position and why my sneaky junior was filled with so much confidence.
He weakened the Demon Lord while retaining his strength.
Demon Lord! Its time to end this!
Hero Richel was confident of his victory.
His expression told me he was excited to defeat the weakened Demon Lord and return to his beautiful hometown.
I liked his determination.
However
Youre too arrogant.
I worked nonstop with pitifulpanions who prevented me from graduating from this school for an entire decade.
I had ovee far more difficult situations than this before.
This predicament wasnt even worth beingpared to what I had to go through in the past.
PIP!
It was time to show the greatness of the Monphone.
Shakespeare.
Haha! Two seconds.
sh!
A ray of light from the sky over the Western Continent hit Hero Richel directly.
Levels did not matter against the G-ss Connoisseur.
In just 0.1 seconds, Richel turned into a fried chicken.
Hey, junior, lets have a chat.
Ugh
I had a lot of questions about the rtionship between the director and the Lanuberk family.
I wouldnt give up until her grandson had given me all the information he had.
Principle of fairness? Impartiality?
My actions wouldnt vite them.
Fairness was broken the moment he got hold of the Holy Sword C at the Central Continent, which shouldve been stored on the Northern Continent.
He brought this upon himself.
It was simply time for him to pay the price.
Can you let my grandson go, Demon Lord Parmamon No, cadet Kang Han Soo.
When I grabbed the chicken by his neck, I heard a familiar voice call out to me from behind.
Her tone was different, however.
This couldnt be. Seriously?
I turned around slowly.
Its nice to meet you No, we meet again.
An angel with three pairs of snow-white wings looked at me from the heavens above.
I couldnt believe it.
How?
Arent you too arrogant to inherit Pedonars power? Youre still too inexperiencedpared to me.
I have a question.
Im listening.
Do you really enjoy showing off your uncovered crotch that much? You dont have a cloaca anymore. You know that, right?
H-huh?!
Answer me.
Close your eyes, asshole!
Despite her attempts to appear noble and elegant, the director ruined her chance to leave a good first impression.
Chapter 299 - [20th Round] Space vs. Time
Chapter 299 - [20th Round] Space vs. Time
FSHH!
As if changing the outfit of a game character, typical angelic rags appeared in the blink of an eye and covered her body, albeit only a small part of it.
Her Divinity was overflowing.
Reading your mind makes me feel like Im being sexually harassed.
So dont read it.
She shouldnt pretend to be noble either.
The director just called a student an asshole.
Her identity was questionable.
What do you mean? Im but a friendly director enforcing the school rules. To that end, all I did was reprimand a student for insolently looking up adys skirt. Im also an understanding andpassionate leader, though, so I will forgive you just this once.
Grandma
Riel, you little bastard! Keep your mouth shut while Im still talking.
Hero Richel immediately fell silent.
The director smiled brightly again.
Hoho! I am kind to students and strict with my family members.
Im apparently a member of your family, then.
Are you insane?! Dont you even dare say that Ahem! Kang Han Soo is such aedian. Hohoho!
She tried to keep a smile on her lips as shended, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
I never took my eyes off her as she descended.
There were many ways to upy someone elses body.
Possession, adventuring, incarnation, reincarnation, usurpation, introduction, fusion, coexistence
What happened to Rice Cake, then?
I couldnt verify it in any way, so I looked around, wanting to hear the excuses of the First Spirit and my cowardly wife, both of whom knew the director well.
I gave them time to defend themselves.
I havent seen my aunt in such a long time, but I wont tell you how long exactly to avoid revealing my age.
Im in the same boat as my niece.
Was that all?
Go on.
Yes, Yes. I just never imagined that my aunt, who insisted that women personify the wealth of a family, would look very different. Its not my fault.
Thats right. If you have a conscience, show us how you really look, boo!
The director shuddered when she heard criticism from her niece and friend.
But she didnt back down.
Are you two using me of something that happened in the distant past? At that time, women who ate well and hadrge forms were called beauties. Now, I have be the symbol of poverty and hunger.
What a pitiful excuse, auntie.
Shameless.
If it didnt lead toplications such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, leukemia, infertility, arthritis, shortness of breath, cholelithiasis, fatty liver disease, apnea, rhinitis, asthma, arteriosclerosis, stroke, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, snoring, and hyperlipidemia, I wouldve retained my previous beauty!
Hey, auntie? You do know that you dont sound convincing at all, right?
I feel so sorry for you that my tears are already welling up.
Tsk. The director, being pressured by her niece and friend, blushed.
Her grandson, Hero Richel, was silent, but the expression on his face was enough to tell me what he was thinking. This is the first time Ive seen my grandma being embarrassed by others!
I now roughly understood what truly happened.
I secretly hoped it wasnt, but the reality was brutal.
Puppet.
Rice Cake was the directors avatar.
There was a reason why the First Spirit and the Second Demon didnt recognize her.
It didnt matter how beautiful she was if her bones ended up hidden underyers of fat anyway.
? Embarrassment: Recognize her by bones? Not flesh?
You heard that right, Trainee Teacher!
As far as beauty was concerned, ones corbone and pelvic bones should be clearly visible.
That aside
What options did I have left?
If she was the directors avatar, then there was nothing I could do.
A puppet was a puppet.
Thats right, cadet Kang Han Soo. Saintess Hippolia, whom you call Rice Cake, is my puppet. The students never noticed, but Ive always been with them, conducting the Festival of Heroes, even though Im the school director.
Hmm
Sports events and festivals in schools began with the opening speech of the director and principal.
Did you know about this, Trainee Teacher?
? Denial: No. Im a trainee. I always hung my head down in front of my seniors, so I havent had many opportunities to see their faces. I saw a framed photograph in front of the directors office, but I think it was a photograph taken in the distant past.
She seemed to have many regrets about the past since she hadnt changed her photo in quite a long time.
Why?
I was really curious.
Thats a very good question, cadet Kang Han Soo. It leads us to the heart of the matter. I love that youve taken an interest without throwing usations like my friend and niece.
Enough nonsense. Get to the point.
Watch your tongue, motherfucker Hoho! Beauty is rtive. Just like how rare stones are ssified as precious stones, its form is no different. Beauty isparable to rarity.
I see.
I thought I knew why the director was obsessed with the past.
In the old days on Earth, when people found it difficult to gain weight due to poverty and problems with obtaining food, chubby women had their advantage.
The fantasy world was simr.
The average woman here looked so gorgeous that their skills had be part of the criteria that assessed their beauty.
Charm, nobility, dignity, divinity, innocence, seduction, sociability, mating, lust
Those were human standards, however.
It was different for angels, a race already born with skills.
You seem to understand.
No.
Angels didnt put on excess weight because their skills always adjusted their figure and appearance.
But the First Angel mistook her obesity for beauty because it was rare.
It was really funny.
Funny? My niece and friend criticizing me for being different from my past body is whats funny. Enough of this. Isnt it time to solve another problem of ours? Disciple Kang Han Soo, let my grandson Riel go and retreat.
And if I refuse?
She was greatly mistaken if she thought I couldnt harm her because she was using Rice Cakes body.
Never obey your enemies.
That motto helped me survive my first round.
Since then, nothing had changed.
? Race: First Angel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Goddess (Demon Lord Level )
? Skills: Divinity G, Haste ZZZ, Slow ZZZ, Flying ZZ, Infinity Z
? Status: Blessing, Protection, Divine Dragon, Management, Director
Her stats were as vile as this whole system.
Her Goddess profession automatically raised her to a level higher than that of the Demon Lord.
But it didnt matter.
I had no intention of beating the director with Fantasy skills from the beginning.
PSSSSS!
I would deal with her with my own power.
Disciple Kang Han Soo, you seem to have forgotten. I am the First Angel. Just as you control space, I control time.
I know.
No, you dont know anything. Have you ever noticed that the baby dragon you named Green Cake is growing too fast?
To be honest, yes.
However, I thought it was because of Rice Cake, who raised and educated him.
But that wasnt all.
Although he belonged to the Fantasy dimension and not the Festival of Heroes, Green Cake didnt disappear even after regression.
It was a phenomenon that was initially impossible.
But the directors intervention exined it all.
Your adopted son, Green Cake
BANG!
Concentrating demonic power in my right hand, I threw a punch at the director.
Wha?!
Bending down due to the blow thatnded on her stomach, she spat out blood.
The damage it caused wasnt as huge as I hoped, though.
She managed to slow down my attack speed to soften the impact.
Even so, it still turned out well.
My surprise attack was sessful.
Before she spoke, she shouldve known that ying hostage wouldnt work against me.
In my first round, that was the mostmon cause of death for mypanions.
Without hesitations, I threw away mypanions that became hostages because of their audacity to act alone.
I didnt mind if they died since I always made sure to avenge them.
As the True Hero, I brutally exterminated enemies who hid behind hostages and neglected their defenses out of their belief that I would surrender.
Thats not what a Hero is!
Speak for yourself.
It might seem like we entered a truce after my surprise attack since we were having leisurely conversations, but that couldnt be farther from the truth.
WHOOOO!
Time had slowed down a lot, after all.
My attacks could no longer even reach her body.
But I wasnt too bothered by it.
Tsk. You separated space!
Yup. You cant leave this ce without my permission anymore.
However, her subjugation wasnt eternal.
The Demon Vault we were trapped in was shrinking ever so slowly because of the directors time maniption.
What was she saying about me not knowing her power over time again?
Einsteins theory of rtivity was one of the basic knowledge of high school students living on Earth.
I was prepared against her.
Auntie got caught?
Heeheehee! I knew the Drug Demon Lord could handle her!
My cowardly wife and the pitiful spirit reacted differently.
To me, however, it was obvious.
The MAX-ss Righteous Demon Lord had won this battle.
Disciple Kang Han Soo.
Surrender.
I admit. Thinking that you were inexperienced was a mistake.
No negotiations.
Dont you want to go home?
Ill do that once Im finished with you.
No. It will be toote by then.
WOOOOOOOOO
I felt the First Angel exert pressure against my space. However, the cracks caused by the eleration or deceleration of time couldnt create any holes.
Do you still believe that you can escape from here?
Of course.
If it keeps going like this, youll definitely eventually win. I cant fight, after all. Will your family still be alive by then, though?
Your bullsh*t wont work against me.
The Demon Vault waspletely cut off from the outside world.
Of course, that meant there was nomunication either.
The director wouldnt be able to instruct anyone to harm my family on Earth.
How dare you assume that I, the director, will try to harm a students family? Im surprised it even urred to you in the first ce.
Your words, not mine.
You misunderstood me. I mean, by the time you get out of here, your family members will have grown old and returned to nature.
Hmm?
What nonsense was she talking about?
Time is rtive. While I am exining this, three decades have already passed in the dimension of Fantasy. On your home, thats three years, right?
Tsk.
It didnt sound like a lie.
The First Hero had done this to me once before.
Now that she was in my trap, she could no longer influence the outside world, but she could still freely manipte time within this space.
Hence, it was theoretically possible.
Forty years now.
We can take our time negotiating, but youd better hurry. Five years on Earth have passed now.
I closed my eyes.
And thought about my family.
My mother, my father. My mother again Oh! I almost forgot about my younger brother, who took away my mothers love and attention.
I was prepared.
Keep going.
Years, decades, centuries, millenniums, eons. Do what you want. Youre not getting out of here. Even if its at the cost of losing something of value, Ill at least be protecting something far more valuable.
You
So what are we going to talk about next? Oh! Do you like spines? Rice Cake loved it when I rubbed her back between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. Looking back now, I think she wanted to please my tastes. What does your actual body think about it, though?
Ah, you asshole
Ha! How inappropriate.
Isnt this the kind of hero youve been dreaming of?
What?
A selfless hero.
Im right, arent I?
Even if a hero had to give up their own happiness, they should never sumb to evil.
I got it now.
Chapter 300 - [20th Round] Sacrifice
Chapter 300 - [20th Round] Sacrifice
You bastard! What the hell do you know about the education system?!
FSHUK! FSHUK! FSHUK!
Enraged, the director randomly shot beams of divine light at me.
She slowed down my body and elerated her beams of light, disabling me from avoiding her attacks.
But I could still defend myself.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The light beams were intercepted by dark matter and werepletely absorbed.
The First Angel was right in front of me, giving her an array of other means to attack, but she didnt dare approach me and instead kept a safe distance, which ultimately led to her limiting herself.
How boring.
I felt like yawning.
Although my movements were sluggish, I didnt need time to defend myself.
Sped up at least 100 times, or slowed down at least 100 times!
I didnt know if her attacks were faster than my cognitive abilities, but from that distance, she certainly wouldnt be able to hurt me.
I fended off her onught over and over again.
It might seem strange, but I understood why this was happening.
No one in the Fantasy dimension could fight toe-to-toe against the all-powerful director. And no one really had any reason to.
She was also the First Angel, ruler of the entire race of angels, who were always ready to fight for her.
This was the result.
She was like a neer who didnt even know how to fight. No, she really was a rookie.
Well, isnt this just funny?
You still dare call yourself a Hero even after calling me a neer and taking pleasure from it, bastard?!
Dont confuse the concepts.
Right now, the evil that I needed to defeat was right before me.
Love, friendship, sacrifice, loyalty, weakness
If Ipromised and decided to forgive the enemy for any reason, I could no longer be called a hero.
I would just be a powerful criminal like her.
How dare you
Hahaha! Come on! Stimte my spine! Simplify the calction withpound interest! This is so exciting! Continue! Keep going!
Hey. What are you doing? Do something already.
Lets resolve our differences through conversation.
How?
What did this bitch suddenlye up with?
So far, only eighty years have passed. If we stop now and get rid of our past grievances, well be able to reach an ending where everyone can be happy
Theres no such path.
There is.
No, and Im certain of it.
Those who had sumbed to force couldnt sincerely desire reconciliation and coexistence.
As soon as they gained strength, they would immediately stab them in the back.
I was even willing to argue about it.
How can you be so sure of that?
Because Ive done it before.
What?
Ive done it before.
I knew I wouldnt be able to immediately cope withpanions who would abuse me the moment we met, so I did nothing but develop my power for ten years.
At that point, I hit the jackpot.
Ironically, it turned out they were hatching the same idea.
They were going to get rid of me while I was exhausted after defeating Demon Lord Pedonar.
Funny, isnt it?
Well, thats
Theres no room forpromise, director. Hence, we need to fight to the end. That way, we wont regret anything.
Or do you want to surrender?
Dont look down on me. I was just trying to avoid sacrifices. But keep this in mind. Since you forced me to do so anyway, there will be no mercy for you in the future.
Haha! Thats the spirit!
Laugh while you can! Green Cake!
SKRRRRR!
When the giant green creature appeared, the shrinking Demon Vault creaked.
The dragon who became my adopted son appeared.
GRRRARRR! Roared Green Cake, who seemed much stronger than before.
The space around us wasnt destroyed, but the speed of itspression was significantly reduced.
The reason was simple.

I ditched my SS-rank ck Box and went my own way.
To my surprise, Green Cakes skill was upgraded to Z-rank without my knowledge.
It was probably because of one of the directors tricks.
Hoho! Surprised?
Yes.
I was genuinely surprised.
ck Box was a buggy skill that the First Hero used to fight the system.
I didnt think the system operator would use it herself.
It isnt a system bug.
What is it, then?
Contrary to what you think, the First Hero didnt create this skill. Hes simply the only one whos been authorized to use this power.
Authorized?
Was she saying that it was her who created the ck Box?
Unfortunately, I wasnt the one who gave him the authorization. If it had been my power, I wouldnt be having this debilitating confrontation with you right now, would I?
Sure.
The Brave job and the ck Box skill could destroy system rules and bnce.
I was personally convinced of this.
Based on this, I concluded that their creator had to be on the same level or higher than the First Angel and the First Demon, the creators of this system.
So who was it?
Some reckless Demon God. The most impatient creature in the universe.
Demon God?
Was there someone else besides me?
The director exined it to me without hesitation.
Hes a deity who raised heroes using any means and methods, which were often so reckless that they began to call him a demon. Nevertheless, his power cannot be ignored.
GRRAAAA!
Green Cakes paw fell vertically on my head as he roared.
SKRRR!
His ws collided with dark matter and immediately tore through it.
Of course Its the ck Box.
Although my wings saved me, the Demon Lords power, which was considered absolute, was broken.
This was bing a little annoying.
Hoho! Green Cake is a unique dragon. In his veins courses the blood of Noebius, the strongest dragon, and Erdanti, the first Saintess. While he was growing, you and I also endowed him with our own powers. Technically speaking, he has four extremely strong parents.
Were you aiming for this from the very beginning?
Not really, no. Hes a product resulting from a chain of coincidences. If he couldnt resist regression thanks to the ck Box you inherited, he wouldnt have grown so strong. All I did was hasten this beautiful childs growth.
You feel sorry for having to sacrifice him without being able to raise him further.
Yes. Green Cake has such an excellent bloodline and even has the impatient Demon Gods support. Even his personality perfectly embodies what a true hero should be.
A pet that is devoted only to you
I snapped my finger.
TCK!
The dark matter hovering around me began to envelop Green Cake.
It was impossible to avoid it or defend himself from it. Regardless of his size, he couldnt berger than the world he lived in.
GRRRAAAA?!
KHHHHHH!
I was going to crush him in an instant without causing unnecessary pain, but defeating him proved difficult.
Was my heart wavering?
I couldnt deny it.
His growth wouldve made him into someone so incredible hed surpass everyones expectations
It pained me that I wouldnt be able to see him grow.
Im sorry.
Pshshshshshh!
Dark matterpletely devoured my son.
Not long after
GRRRAAAAHHH!!
A deafening roar thundered through my space as my dark matter began to burst.
SKRRRR!
He managed to resist thanks to his life force, and even though he couldnt escape, he caused a crack in the Demon Vault.
He was a truly absurd adopted son
Ah!
I hastily checked the directors location.
Tsk! Toote!
The director had ripped off one of her wings but not to inflict senseless self-harm.
BOOM!
The First Angel impaled her bloodied wing into the microscopic crack in space.
Sh*t!
I cursed as she used her own body part to widen the crack, which would allow her to escape.
For the Goddess!
Defeat the Demon Lord!
Break it faster!
We dont have much time!
Countless angels flew in immediately.
I could easily destroy them, but then I wouldnt be able to maintain the Demon vault.
There was only one thing I could do now.
Come!
Waah!
A cute baby appeared, crushing many angels.
Captain Fantasy!
The resulting chaos caused the Demon Vault to shake dangerously, but now wasnt the time to pay attention to it.
Hey! Why dont you two help as well?!
I called out to my cowardly wife and the pitiful spirit.
I cant really help since the space has been cut off, but Ill at least pretend that I am.
What are you talking about?
Im serious. Im not lying.
Ssosia, spreading her ethereal purple wings, flew toward the director.
Her flight speed was too slow, however, due to her aunts ability to manipte time.
She definitely wouldnt be able to help me
What about you?
Its finally my turn!
Can I count on you?
First Spirit.
She wore one of my paired rings, which copied the strength of whoever was wearing the other.
It was time to finally put the true power of these rings to good use.
Trust me, Drug Demon Lord!
Just go already.
Ha-ah! Mon Power!
Somethings wrong! Why didnt it work?
Because its not a skill.
Controlling dark matter was more of a technique than a skill.
Master Mon.
Father-inw Pedonar.
This technique couldnt be without having a high understanding of the teachings received from those two beings.
And whats even worse
SKRR
No!
The ring that the First Spirit wore on her thigh was shattered.
I warned you, didnt I? From this moment on, Im ready to make sacrifices. Kha-kha-kha!
It was the directors doing.
I didnt know how she did it, but she coughed up blood after destroying the item I received as a reward.
Hmmm. Stop fooling around in the sky, cowardly wife. Come down here and exin.
Oh.
Ssosia returned to me and picked up the shattered ring.
What happened to the director?
Ex officio abuse.
What?
She paid for the destruction of another teachers property. Employees of the Fantasy Institution are members of the Mon Union, the fairest union in the universe. Once you join, it will no longer matter if you are a dictator or a major shareholder. Mon Union will punish you for any vitions youmit.
That is indeed fair.
Was there any limit to Master Mons greatness?
Kha-kha-kha! Oh
So, director. How exactly will you be punished?
I was curious.
What makes you think Ill tell you? Kha-kha-kha!
I can see youre not feeling well at all, at least.
Victory will still be mine.
SKRRRR!
The angels who darted back and forth to avoid Captain Fantasys attacks finally made a hole in my space.
That wasnt all.
Father, Im sorry
? Race: Green Chaos Dragonian
? Level: 999+
? Job: Brave (Everyone = Level 1)
? Skills: Chaos G, Divinity G, Vitality G, Dark Energy G, Dragon Scale ZZZ
? Status: Submission, Transformation, Wounded, Fractured, Weakened
Green Cake escaped the captivity of my dark matter by transforming into his dragonian form.
Brainwashed and Obsessed had disappeared from his Status.
However, the Submission remained in effect.
The director said approvingly. Hoho! Well done, my dear son Green Cake. Rest until your wounds are healed.
Youre not my mother
p!
She forcibly de-summoned him, causing him to disappear.
It was the worst development of events possible.
It seemed it would take a little longer to get paid withpound interest.
Hohoho!
This will be our first andst meeting. You better be ready, Master.
What?
Are you deaf? I said youd better be ready, Master Hmm?
Say it again.
Kang Han Kh Master! Whats happening?! Why am I calling him Master? Get out of my head! Begone! Youre just a puppet!
Rice Cake?
Yes, Master Enough! How dare you! I am the First Angel, Hippolia Aaaaahhhh! The director grabbed her head with both hands and began to scream.
It didnt look like she was trying to trick me.
If so
This is my chance!
Waaah!
Captain Fantasy and I jumped towards the director almost simultaneously.
Stop them!
Protect Mistress Parmael!
Get out of my way!
Well defend Huh?!
Countless angels stood before us and recklessly struggled.
But it wasnt pointless.
Tsk!
Having lost her mind, the director fled from their support, leaving behind mountains upon mountains of her kinds corpses.
The terrible sight didntst long, however.
Exactly ten secondster, the world of Fantasy copsed due to the death of the directors grandson.
And everything began anew.
Chapter 301 - [Side Story] Demon Lord Pedonar
Chapter 301 - [Side Story] Demon Lord Pedonar
Born amid the darkness of the universe, I had no purpose in life.
I merely drifted through space and counted the beautifully twinkling stars.
But nothingsts forever.
Nyahahaha!
Give it back~ Give me back my panties~ If you dont
Whats that? I cant hear anything
Retribution!
Ugyahahaha!
A pink pillow hit the cheeky guy holding sky blue panties in his hands.
But what was happening didnt amuse me at all.
Because in the ce where the pink pillownded, there was nothing left.
No light, no darkness Nothing.
Except for one creature.
Are you alive?
Yes, Im fine. This often happens when ones in such a hurry they dont even have the time to look back. Nyahahaha!
Is that so
The being was extremely emotional.
And powerful.
If that pillow hit me, I wouldve disappeared without a trace.
Youre a spirit, right?
Spirit?
I bowed my head in disbelief.
Until now, I hadnt thought about who I was.
You didnt achieve perfection through training as I did, Spirit of Darkness. Rather, youre a deity thats perfect by nature.
Deity
Wow! You began to shape your body as soon as you realized your personality! Not bad at all Hmm? Hey! Did you just copy my horns on your forehead? Thats giarism!
giarism?
Were these horns called giarism?
I just decided to imitate him.
These are the trademark of all demons!
Nyahahaha! You really dont know anything. Dont worry about it. Ill make an exception for you. That aside, let me introduce myself. Im the Demon God, and you Oh! You will be the Demon Lord!
The Demon Lord?
The Demon Lord, my friend! I hope we get along. Nyahahaha!
Yes.
From that day on, I became the Demon Lord.
A passing God called me Pedonar.
Demon Lord Pedonar.
It sounded kind of strange, but I thought it was just me.
***
So much time passed after that that it was pointless to count.
I gained experience, began to visit the most famous restaurants in the universe, and learned how to use Dark Energy.
But this joy did notst forever either.
So I needed advice.
Are you bored?
Yes.
Go and steal that innocent goddesss underwear. There will definitely be no time to be bored then.
Oh
If I disappeared without a trace, then I would definitely not be bored.
The advice of this Demon God, my mentor, was always rash.
Hey, Pedonar.
Yes?
If you run away because its hard, of course, youll be bored. Look at me. I never get bored. Nyahahaha!
Youre just very impatient and cannot sit still for a long time.
Dont jump to conclusions. But if youre so intimidated by the innocent goddesss underwear, why dont you try something easier, like conquering the world? Consider it an initiation ritual.
Initiation ritual?
Yes. Nobody knows you. So let them know.
Okay.
After that, I watched as he bravely approached the innocent goddess and held out a bouquet.
Have my children
Retribution!
Kyahahahahaha!
The pillow, which the goddess lovingly hugged, moved from its ce, and an entire gxy disappeared without a trace.
Hundreds of thousands of stars had been obliterated from existence, making it impossible to turn into ck holes.
Why did she punish him like that?
No harems!
That was a valid and usible reason.
Conquering the world will be much easier
I was sure it was much easier than trying to touch the underwear of an innocent goddess.
After that, preparatory work began.
***
I went to a distant gxy that the gods didnt visit.
Since it was untouched by the deities who loved to spread their knowledge, I could watch the wild locals running around in nothing but their underwear.
I decided to stay here.
More precisely, on the Fronesis.
It was named after the First Spirit Fronesis, the elder sister of all spirits.
Having made this ce the starting point for conquering the world, I created weapons and turned the locals into my soldiers.
As my mentor said, every day felt rewarding, eliminating my boredom.
Additionally
I fell in love.
Demon Lord Pedonar, abandon your childhood ns to conquer the world already. How many animals and spirits have lost their homes due to the deforestation you ordered for the sake of building yourself an exorbitantly huge vi Pedonar? Are you even listening to me?
Yes, I am.
Really? What did I say, then?
That youre very beautiful, Fantasy.
Thats not even close! Youre no Lord of Demons. Youre the Lord of Fools! You are stupider than my sister Fronesis! Why are you smiling? Its not apliment!
Ha. If it means meeting you, Im ready to be a fool.
Lord of Fools Pedonar, please listen to me properly. How many times do you want me to repeat the same thing? Unlike my sister, Im not an idle andzy spirit. I have a lot to do.
If it means getting to talk to you, I am ready to cut as many trees as needed.
I wasnt joking.
The reason why the size of my vi increased unnecessarily was due to the First Spirits sister.
Star Spirit Fantasy.
She had lived on the Fronesis since time immemorial.
For the sake of meeting her, I was prepared to burn down all the forests in the universe.
What?! Then this will result in a vicious cycle! Stop behaving like a child, Lord of Fools Pedonar. Now that weve figured out the cause, lets find a solution to it. What do I have to do to keep you from cutting down trees?
You
What about me? Speak faster. I still have a lot to do.
Well
Do you need time to think?
Fantasy was about to leave.
I had to act urgently.
It would take decades to meet her again, considering that she listened to theints of even the tiniest organisms living on the.
If I missed this opportunity, I would have to take up woodcutting again, which would cause her to hate me.
Looking back, I realized I acted rashly.
I could have caused the destruction of an entire gxy.
Have my children.
But I didnt regret it. After all
Dad! What is it?
It was a sess.
A beautiful demon resembling Fantasy was born from a star.
I felt so delighted raising my daughter Ssosia with her that I even gave up world domination.
Heeheehee! Ssosia, you can call me auntie.
Hi, Ssosia. I am Parmael, the First Angel, mistress of a neighboring, and your fathers older sister. In other words, Im also your aunt, but from your fathers side.
Hello, aunties!
Ssosias so cute~
Hohoho!
But our happinesssted only a few hundred thousand years.
Because Fantasy, which had gone off to warn the adventurers from the neighboring Parmael not to dig into its ruins, was killed.
Parmael, instead of apologizing, used me of not looking after my own wife.
It was partly my fault, of course.
But
I will take revenge.
I continued preparing for world domination, which I had long abandoned.
Dont do this, dad. Mom wouldnt want you to do that.
Ssosia.
Yes?
If you have time to lecture your father, youd better continue your mothers work and take care of the.
And what about you?
I cant forgive myself for bing so careless out of sheer happiness.
I understand Farewell.
I didnt see her for a long time after that.
And our most awaited reunion wasnt the most pleasant one either.
Ssosia, whom I met again, joined a group of adventurers formed to stop my revenge.
But their attempts were in vain.
I destroyed all who indiscriminately killed demons, the people I raised to conquer the world.
This was the difference between God and man.
They could never defeat me.
I became too arrogant.
Wait! This is
I felt the energy of the cheeky Demon God from thest adventurer who called himself a hero.
Take this!
Sh*t!
It was already toote by the time I noticed it.
If I had thought everything through and prepared for this in advance, I could have avoided it.
I forgot.
About who advised me to conquer the world.
The Demon God wanted to have fun.
Damn mentor
That being said, I was defeated.
It was undeniable that the adventurer who challenged me was stronger.
Where did a human get such strength?
So I asked, Hero, what is the source of your power?
The rage from losing myrades!
Is that so? To think that I, the one who considered himself the strongest, would be defeated by the power of friendship Well, It was a great battle, at least.
***
Defeated, I found myself sealed on the where my beloved wife fell asleep forever.
My sister stole my power and made me a training dummy for the adventurers she raised.
Those were miserable days.
Much time had passed since then.
Hello, father.
Ssosia?
My aunt betrayed me, which was really stupid. Instead of avenging my mother, I helped y my own father. This must be my punishment. Waaaaah!
Shhh. Everythings going to be okay.
I patted my crying daughters back, treating her like a little child.
World domination.
While for me, it was initially a bit of a joke to brighten up my boring everyday life, it turned out that my sister, the First Angel Parmael, took it seriously.
Something had to be done about it.
But what exactly?
Something is making this herote.
It took heroes an average of three years to reach my vi, which had been named the Demon Lords castle.
But this particr individual hadnt appeared in ten years.
How long did this pathetic guy n to take?
BOOM!
Finally, he brazenly kicked my doors down.
Are you the Demon Lord?
Right. I am Pedonar, evil itself! I shall be the one to plunge this world into eternal darkness!
Great show as always.
My audience was only a single hero, though.
That being said
Where were all hispanions?
He was a strange guy.
It looks like its really you this time.
Haha! Hero, your eyes are full of determination. I love it! Let it be so! I ept the challenge presented to me by humanity!
Wait a minute. Before we fight, I want to ask you something. Why did you just watch and wait for your subordinates to die?
Surprised, I frowned.
Just watched and waited? How crude. Ive always sent my strongest subordinates against you to take revenge.
But they were killed nheless.
Then I sent even stronger subordinates.
They died, too.
Are you really unhappy that you were lucky enough to survive, Hero?
He was a really strange guy.
No hero ever doubted what was happening.
If the infamous Demon Lord had acted himself from the start, would I be here now?
He had a sharp mind.
Or perhaps the others were just too stupid.
But I couldnt tell him
About my escape n.
Your spections are meaningless, Hero.
Theyre definitely not
Unless youre knowledgeable about the politics of demons, shut up.
I was able to adapt to the level drop caused by the Demon Lords handicap because we talked for a long time.
Now I was at the same level as him.
He was the perfect adversary because there werent even anypanions next to him.
I thought it would be an easy victory, but I lost in an instant.
How?
How?
How?
I immediately remembered the time the First Hero defeated me.
However, unlike him, this Hero remained calm, and he didnt use the Holy Sword, imbued with the power of the First Angel Parmael.
He defeated me based on pure skill alone!
I couldnt believe it. I had to ask him.
Kh! Does your mighty powere from the rage of losing yourrades?
No, this is the result of training.
Having said this, the Hero smiled.
And I got goosebumps.
How is that possible? Well Its at least a great fight
At that moment, my instincts whispered.
I had found a suitable sessor.
***
Thank you so much for your warm wee, father-inw. That meal removed all of the umted stress that your cowardly daughter has brought me. However, I would now like to set this aside and get down to business.
The Last Supper.
The time has finallye.
I understand what youre trying to say.
Even if you are my father-inw, I cannot calmly close my eyes to everything youve done. Sorry, but I must kill you.
If you were a hero, then that really would be our fate. However, you havent officially be a hero yet, have you?
I am a hero.
Theyve told you that you are, but the documents state otherwise. Am I wrong?
BOOM!
Striking the table with both hands, my daughter got up and looked at me in surprise.
How do you know that?!
Did you really think I made him my son-inw without any preparations, my beloved daughter? Since we first met, I had already decided that he would be the Demon Lords vessel. I doubted my decision at first, but as soon as you became the first to fall in love with him, I started thanking my fate.
I could never forget that day.
The face of my son-inw, who defeated me with nothing but his own skill. His eerie smile.
I knew then that he was ready.
My son-inw would be an impable Demon Lord.
It was fated.
Fate? No! Run!
Be freed from your shackles as the Hero and let the Second Demons curse devour you! You shall be the Second Demon Lord as I, the First Demon, dly ept the fate the universe itself has prepared for me!
This was also fate.
I would start all over again.
I handed over the family business to my reliable son-inw and turned him into an actual part of my family.
Bound by blood.
Wow~
It was time to begin world domination from scratch!
I had something to say to my sassy and impatient mentor.
That aside
Ah! Our youngest is often so quiet. Han-soo was always crying.
As soon as I saw the smile of the woman who was trying to feed me, goosebumps went down my skin.
It was better to keep quiet for now.
[HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Im rolling 10/10!]
Chapter 302 - [21st Round] The Perfect Hero
Chapter 302 - [21st Round] The Perfect Hero
The beginning was always the same.
I sat on the throne on the top floor of my father-inws vi, with the First Spirit resting on my head.
And in this position, all my copies waited for days on end for heroes toe.
However, when I personally controlled one of them, additional people appeared.
My cowardly wife.
Shadow A.
Captain Fantasy.
Rice Cake.
Green Cake.
But now, I had lost almost half of them.
This is annoying.
You have a frightening expression on your face, hubby. Anyway, I have good and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?
Start with the bad news.
As with food, I saved the dessert forst.
Since you lost Hippolia and Green Cake, yourbat power had dropped by 0.48%.
Thats much lower than I thought.
I thought it would be at least 5%.
Green Cake was attached to my aunts strength, and she took over the body of the puppet herself, so her powers been limited.
That was understandable
Wheres the director now?
That brings us to the next news. My aunt ran away. Shes currently somewhere in Fantasy, but I dont know where she is.
That was within my expectations.
Time to hear the good news!
Or are you not done with the bad ones yet?
Judging by the way my cowardly wife rolled her eyes, the good news wouldnte soon.
Theres still more bad news. My traitorous husband has no other heating pads anymore. If you dont want to sleep alone in the future, you better treat your wife well.
My God
That news was worse than the one about me losingbat power!
Should I continue?
Go for it.
We had already gone down this path. It was only proper for me to see it to the end!
While you were fighting with my aunt, thirteen students were able to graduate. This means that you died thirteen times just sitting on the throne.
Tsk
Because of that, a guide for the 5th curriculum has appeared, which youll be able to find using your smartphone. The graduates were nicknamed the 13 Legendary Heroes because they turned out to be much stronger than the other heroes.
This is ridiculous.
If I controlled my copies, they never wouldve been able to pass.
I was a little annoyed by the fact that my juniors graduated only through sheer fortunate coincidence.
Im not done with the bad news yet.
Huh? Theres more?
The Fantasy Institution is now epting students from others besides Earth.
epting? More like kidnapping.
Okay, Ill call it kidnapping. The Fantasy Institution usually switches to others only when the number of people they can kidnap has been depleted. However, due to several operational errors and the directors years of absence, the schools reputation has been severely undermined. Even the outside world has begun to view it as kidnapping, not enrollment.
Isnt that good news?
That meant that the Fantasy Institution, led by the First Angel, might meet its end soon.
If this were still my aunts world, it would be. But things are different now. You have a chance to usurp control, and youre just going to give up like that?
Hmmm.
Ill continue. Since its reputation has fallen, the school will again only abduct the inhabitants of the Earth until its situation stabilizes. After all, that is this establishments go-to ce, considering weve been working with it for a long time now.
All this information is making me feel like my heads splitting up.
And now for the worst news.
Some of the gods have started showing interest in the Fantasy Institution.
Hows that the worst?
Well Among them, there are many strange and unpredictable creatures who became gods, having reached perfection. Imagine my aunt and father while theyre deeply distraught. Now multiply them by the dozen.
Thats really dangerous.
I just wanted to return to Earth to my parents and be a civilized citizen. Why did I keep having to go through all these trials?
Also
Youre still not finished?
This is thest one.
Alright, fine.
Your battle against my aunt ruined 69% of the system, which means we should expect it to have a lot of bugs and errors. Due to its current state, even though Im its developer, I cant predict what will happen next.
Ruined?
One of you fought so hard that he was willing to sacrifice everything. We can consider ourselves lucky for having only 69% of it destroyed.
Is that all?
Yes. Im done with the bad news. Stop nervously fiddling with your fingers now. Youre going to make me start feeling nervous as well.
Bad news, huh?
I closed my eyes and tried to calmlyy it all out.
It was really bad.
I felt like this situation couldnt get any worse.
Ssosia, who had caused her wonderful MAX-ss husband to develop a neurotic disorder, continued in a cheerful tone.
And now the good news!
Well, lets hear it.
I wondered what news could possibly be positive in this situation devoid of all hopes and dreams.
My crazy aunt still hasnte to her senses.
How do you know?
Because the ownership and control over the Fantasy system have almost been passedpletely to me. If my aunt were okay, this wouldnt have happened. Even if she regains her sanity now, she wont be able to do anything.
Hmm
A logical question arose.
If she had taken control of the Fantasy system, why couldnt she find the directors hideout?
As I said, 69% of the system has been destroyed.
Oh!
But Im sure of one thing. Now my aunt is locked in the Fantasy Institution just like us. After the ssroom was destroyed, my aunts puppet hid somewhere on one of the continents.
Then its time to go treasure hunting.
I thought my insurmountable sacrifices were all for naught, but after my cowardly wife exined the situation, I realized there was still hope.
It seemed that luck hadnt left me yet. The President of the Universe was still showing an interest in me.
That wasnt all.
? Type: Race
? Name: Perfect Deity
? Rank: Mythic
? Mythic 1: Perfect Hero.
? Mythic 2: Perfect Demon Lord.
? Feature 1: Sponsored by Universe Co., Ltd.
? Race 1: Perfect Human.
? Race 2: Perfect Darkness.
My races characteristics had some form of obsession with perfection.
Its arrogant statements about perfection didnt make me ufortable, though.
I felt like it was as meant to be.
You are now a deity, after all.
ording to the system?
No. A true deity. From the moment you inherited my fathers divine essence, you were already a deity. You were divided and weakened, which prevented you from feeling it. This time, however, another divine trait appeared.
Perfect Hero?
Yes, said Ssosia, her eyes shining.
What are you doing?
My hearts beating faster because my husband, whom I considered a cowardly traitor, was able to achieve perfection.
Hmmm
Was that enough to turn my cowardly wife on?
Gods born of nature, such as my father and auntie, are weak, considering they dont haveplete control over their innate attributes. Those like you, who became gods by achieving perfection, are different since you reached the pinnacle of excellence through your own efforts. It all depends on what type of perfection one strives for, but only perfection can cope against perfection.
What do you mean?
An imperfect being can never defeat those who became a deity.
Because theyve reached perfection?
Yes.
It was a weirdly logical concept.
Even though I became a deity, I couldnt feel it.
Do you have any more good news?
Sure. Look. This is the photo your mom posted yesterday.
What?!
I didnt know where Ssosia got the monphone from, but I grabbed it and looked at the messages.
a衤Mom: Where have you disappeared this time, son? (7:25)
a衤Mom: Are you sick? Are you in pain? Tell your mother. (13:47)
a衤Mom: Son, Ill kill you someday! (10:53)
I didnt reply for a long time, so she was understandably upset.
That aside
a衤Son: Im sorry, but I have found the perfect woman, prepared for me by fate, and Ive fallen head over heels for her. (13:29)
Who was the person sending such stupid messages under my name?
a衤Mom: Oh, youre still alive. (15:34)
a衤Mom: Son, is that girl really so perfect that you forgot your mother and my daughter-inw? (15:36)
a衤Son: Shes the second most beautiful woman in the entire universe. (15:37)
a衤Mom: Who the first? (15:38)
a衤Son: You, of course. (15:39)
Did my impersonator have no conscience at all?
My mother might have been a beautiful woman in the old days, but she was by no means the most beautiful woman in the universe.
How could they be so shameless?
a衤Mom: My son has finally matured. I love you ? (15:40)
a衤Mom: Whats your rtionship status? (15:41)
a衤Son: I married her. I was drunk, and it happened by ident. (15:43)
Married drunk?!
I hoped my mother wouldnt believe what this impostor says!
a衤Mom: Ah! Well, since its already happened, theres nothing we can do about it. Dont make her cry and take responsibility. (15:46)
a衤Son: Yes. Thank you for your approval. (15:47)
a衤Mom: Whats the name of my new daughter-inw? (15:49)
a衤Son: Ssosia. (15:50)
Seriously?
a衤Mom: Be attentive to Ssosia. (15:51)
a衤Son: Of course. If I dare cheat on her, please hit me as hard as possible with your tennis racket. (15:53)
a衤Mom: Will do. Haha! My son has really grown up ^^ (15:54)
a衤Son: Thank you for your kind words. (15:55)
Ssosia!
Dont yell at me yet, hubby. Just keep reading.
What the hell are you doing with my ount?
I reassured your mother, who was angry at you since you were unreachable for ten years. Because of it, she evenmended you for growing up.
You coward
What? She found peace of mind.
What peace of mind Hmm? Wait.
No matter how advanced science had developed on Earth, a persons life span couldnt be increased by tens of thousands of years.
However, she was still sending me messages.
I investigated this mystery.
a衤Mom: Look at this photo of your little brother when he started elementary school. The Minister of Education is standing in the corner of it. (9:54)
a衤Mom: And this photo was taken on the beach during his summer break before entering 2nd grade. Wherever we go on vacation, he always attracts the attention of girls who call him cute. (9:58)
I saw a series of family photos withments from my mother.
But that was weird.
As my brother grew older, my mother and father seemed to get younger.
Ssosia gave me an exnation.
Its only been a century.
Hmm Have my parents be vampires?
Judging by their photographs taken in broad daylight, that didnt seem to be the case.
What happened?
Oh! You got it all wrong. One hundred years have passed here in Fantasy, but only ten years have passed on Earth.
What?!
Tens of thousands of years shouldve already passed because of the director!
With a grin, Ssosia replied, Such a sacrifice was too much for her.
What?
Time is the same for everyone, which means she loses as much time as you do. What do you think wouldve happened if she had left her position for that long?
Ah!
The Perfect Hero was prepared to sacrifice everything, but the First Angel wasnt.
Thats really good news.
My family was still alive.
I was more delighted with this news than with being promoted to Perfect Deity.
My brother didnt make me happy, though!
His expression was like a brooding old man. No matter how hard I looked for it, I couldnt find any cuteness in him.
I couldnt understand why my mom was so obsessed with him.
Thats the end of the good news.
Its more than enough.
In high spirits, I slowly rose from the Demon Lords throne.
I was prepared to sacrifice everything, but I didnt lose anything.
No, that was wrong.
I lost Rice Cake and Green Cake.
Are you going to search for them?
Naturally.
I wouldnt let go of the director so easily.
? Urgently: Cadet Kang Han Soo! I have very important news!
What? Trainee Teacher has news for me too? Is it good or bad?
The Perfect Hero was ready to listen to everything!
Chapter 303 - [21st Round] Inspection Team
Chapter 303 - [21st Round] Inspection Team
? Exnation: The Fantasy Institution is a prestigious school, which means it has many partners, sister schools, and investors. However, due to unfortunate events, theres been a sharp drop in the number of its graduates, triggering one of its dissatisfied investors to send an inspection team here. The director would normally be the one to exin the reason behind it and the one to share her vision tobat the situation, but shes gone missing.
Wasnt the world of Fantasy supposed to be the center of support for those who couldnt adapt to society?
If so, then why was it focused on being a profitable business?
This was making my head spin.
I had always been more of a science guy.
Thats why I said theyre useless here.
Shut up, Addicted Spirit.
Heeheeheehee Kya?!
I flicked my finger against her butt and continued listening to the beautiful Trainee Teachers exnations.
? Depression: To be honest, Ive never been to outer space, so I dont know much, but my senior colleagues turned pale when they heard the investors name. We cant talk about this in public, but the faculty room has been thrown into absolute chaos.
I also didnt know much about what was happening out there.
When I was still on Earth, I grew up watching documentaries where scientists and believers argued about whether aliens existed and whether there was life on Mars.
Not much had changed since I was abducted and dropped into Fantasy.
However, I found out that aliens did exist!
Unfortunately, this worlds stupid locals space-travel capabilities were still far behind, even whenpared to Earthlings.
Cowardly husband.
What?
Ask your beloved Trainee Teacher about the investors name. Due to my failed marriage, I live my days without due attention. However, I am still a graduate of the El Mndo University, which is recognized and respected by everyone in the universe.
So, in a sense, youre an astronaut then?
I didnt like what Ssosia said about our marriage, but I didnt punish her yet since she might have important intel.
Whos the investor that made the teachers feel fear and panic?
? Answer: Monsoft.
Monsoft!
Their name alone hinted at grandeur.
? Exnation: Theyre thergest manufacturer and supplier of hardware and software in the universe. Thatpany is said to have had such a great impact that history itself is divided into before and after its founding.
I immediately shared the information with my wife.
Monsoft.
My God
What?
Even though I single-handedly created the Fantasy system, I couldntnd a job in thatrge corporation.
So theres nothing special about you.
All she could talk about was that she was a graduate of El Mndo University.
Stop interrupting me and just listen until Im done talking, hubby. I couldnt get a job with them, since I was chosen as the model for thetest androids design, I was able to get an excursion with them.
Heh~
Well, at least there was that.
Such proposals are quite natural for me. I am the second most beautiful woman in the entire universe, after all.
Well, how did you like the excursion?
I cant tell you because of the nondisclosure use in our contract, but I can at least tell you to never make an enemy out of Monsoft. The androids they produce Agh! Just keep my words in mind.
Clutching her head with both hands, Ssosia interrupted her speech.
Monsoft inspectors
It was hard to believe such a thing.
I identally destroyed a before, but talks about space still seemed like a distant concept for me.
Besides, this was business.
I couldve easily made something up if it were any other field, but this particr one wasnt my specialty.
You were the emperor.
What makes you think business and politics are one and the same, silly wife?
Governments are no different from corporations.
What? Dont be an idiot. Corporations give money in the form of sries or wages, while governments take money in the form of taxes. What could they possibly even have inmon? Their systems arepletely different.
This is why youre not a humanitarian Ouch!
Shut up.
I decided to punish my cowardly little wife for groundlessly insulting such different sciences, then focused again on Trainee Teacher.
Go on.
? Dejection: Rumors have begun to circte that they wanted the school to close, and I cant even do anything to help my alma mater. Thats why I rushed to you and told you everything. I just need advice.
Youvee to the right ce, Trainee Teacher!
I no longer gave advice as often as I used to, but in my 1st round, when my hands didnt slip as much as they did now, I usually had to listen to the locals problems.
I understood the essence of the problem.
We need to make sure the Monsoft inspection teams review of Fantasy is positive.
Ha Do you think itll be that simple, my clueless hubby? Monsoft isnt just any small shop. They most likely already scouted our situation even before the faculty members knew about their inspection visit, which means theyve already reached a decision by themselves. They dispatched an inspection team simply for formalities Ouch!
Youre too noisy.
I pped my F-rank wifes ass since she was being too pessimistic.
I am a hero.
Many of Fantasys students presented themselves like that, but they were mostly just B-rankers. My rank was MAX.
The gap between us was all too obvious.
They traveled calmly, relying on the power of friendship and love, while I always had to ovee obstacles.
Today wouldnt be any different.
I decided to fix this hopeless situation.
Oh? Do you even have a n?
? Hope: Im also interested in cadet Kang Han Soos n.
I wanted to eliminate the inspectors to buy time, but after listening to Ssosia, I realized doing so would prove detrimental to our goal.
Dont you even dare!
Im not even allowed to think about it?
Youre not! I dont want to be a widow at such a young age!
Young?
Stop nitpicking at my words!
My wife was imposing too many restrictions!
Then we need to turn the Fantasy Institution into the ideal academy to prevent them from finding any ws in it.
The problem was time.
How long do we have until they arrive, Trainee Teacher?
? Confirmation: ording to my senior, theyll be here in about a year.
Which senior? Supervisor Bakery?
? Surprise: Yes. Howd you know?
It was just my intuition as the Perfect Hero with 200 years of experience.
While the director who oversaw the system was absent, my wife and I would have to get things in order.
Aside from Trainee Teacher, who was looking after me, we couldnt set up a meeting with the faculty members due to school rules.
There was a simple solution to that, however.
Supervisor Bakery deliberately passed on such vital information to Trainee Teacher.
Henceforth, if there were any important news or changes, hed deliver them to me in the same way.
How do you like my logicism and critical thinking?
? Admiration: Simply incredible!
It was too early to admire me.
Based on how I knew Bakery, he most likely told Trainee Teacher what criteria the inspection team would use to assess Fantasy.
He did, didnt he?
? Surprise: Youre right! He told me they would randomly choose a ss and watch the Heros journey from start to finish. They will evaluate the effectiveness of his training on criteria such asbat power, responsibility, actions, confidence, analytical ability, psychological stability, adaptability, integrity,passion, and potential.
How confusing.
However, the most crucial intel I gained from that was that they wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Heros growth.
I wasnt going to tell you this because youve used me of pessimism, but since this is objective information, Ill tell you anyway. If what Trainee Teacher said is true, then we wont be able to avoid the schools closure. The heroes right now didnt just cease to grow. Theyre actually losing ground.
Is that so?
Yes. And my aunts grandson, whom you beat up, is still in shock.
Really?
Yup. The angels are secretly treating him, but he holed himself up in one ce and refuses to go anywhere.
He has no mental strength at all.
But he wasnt to me.
The core of the problem was that the teaching staff kept kidnapping such weak-minded people.
I could hardly change those losers.
What was the optimal course of action in this situation?
Stroking my ungrateful wifes back between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, I reached a decision.
Lets go back to the past as we did before, Ssosia.
Are you nning on changing history again?
Yes.
Give me a minute. Do it, Mon.
Mon? Mon~
Pulling Master Mon out of her chest, Ssosia began to roughly knead him with her hands.
And Vo!
They created a purple stick with a five-pointed star at its tip.
What is it?
A magic wand. Itll allow you to change the Fantasy systems settings at will. It cant handle heavy tasks like skill creation, but it can execute simple ones in no time. I used this a lot before my aunt betrayed me.
Hmm
My cowardly wife alwaysplicated things whenever she pretended to be intelligent.
Was my exnation that hard to understand?
Yeah.
Well, basically, if you need anything, just let me know.
You shouldve just said that from the start!
Ohh
Ssosia waved her wand, forming a spatial gate before my eyes.
I was the Perfect Demon Lord.
It wasnt that hard for me to intuitively deduce where it would lead me to.
The past.
Not a distant one, however.
You got that right. Well go back to a year before Lanuvel summons the Hero.
One year wont be enough.
Theres nothing we can do about it. Youre the one that said the inspection team would arrive in a year. Only the changes you make over that duration will apply to all courses and ssrooms. We could go back to any point in time if my aunt helped us since shes in charge of it, but Im sure youre well aware thats impossible given our current circumstances.
Yeah.
Comining was a waste of time.
I entered the spatial gate fearlessly.
***
It felt like my whole body was in chains.
I remembered the moment the MAX-rank Hero who defeated the Demon Lord Pedonar was sealed for 2,000 years.
The seal most likely caused this feeling of stiffness.
However, judging by how it weakened, it would probably disappear naturally in a year, even if nothing was done about it.
A year.
That signified that the Demon Lord was resurrected and arrived safely a year before the Hero was summoned.
I filled my body with strength.
PSSSSSS!
History would change dramatically once I, the Perfect Demon Lord, had broken my seal a year earlier than anticipated.
Bang!
The moment it was destroyed, I regained my five locked senses.
Husband! Be careful!
Ssosias insistent cry immediately pierced my ears.
But there was no need to warn me.
I was the Perfect Demon Lord.
From the moment I removed my seal, my defenses became as perfect as I was.
Bam!
A dark space formed around my neck, causing a sword to ricochet.
My head wouldve been decapitated if I deployed my protection a secondter.
Who the hell?
Although it was a littleter than my hearing, my eyes finally reactivated, allowing me to identify my enemy.
Strange
It couldnt be.
The rage of losing myrades!
Wait. Give me a moment.
Myrades are not dead! They live on inside my heart, supporting and cheering me on! Kh?!
I need to think.
Kh
Why is my senior here?
Demon Lord Pedonar!
Huh?
I will punish you!
My resentful senior, d in heroic armor, called out my father-inws name and charged again.
Did my appearance change?
That didnt seem to be the case. If so, then why?
Well
I decided to do something about my corrupted senior first.
Chapter 304 - [21st Round] The Demon Lord’s Retaliation
Chapter 304 - [21st Round] The Demon Lords Retaliation
? Race: First Ultra Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Brave (Everyone = Level 1)
? Skills: Love GGG, Friendship GG, Hope GG, Divinity GG, G
? Status: Enhancement, Blessing, Miracle, Courage, Hope, Divine Dragon, Love, Friendship, Cooperation, Inspiration, Advent, Protection, Strengthening, Relic, Holy Spirit, Immortality, Awakening, Support, Transcendence, Goodwill, Energy, Responsibility, Hope, Salvation
It was with those same stats that he once defeated Demon Lord Pedonar.
This was absurd.
I understand that the First Hero in front of me was a fake created based on his personal file, but his strength was still impressive.
Although, of course, he still couldnt rival my power.
My father-inw was helpless, weakened by the power of Brave and the effect of the ck Box, but such tactics would never work against me, the Perfect Demon Lord and Hero.
I could feel it.
[Darkness]
[Hero]
Perfection collided and faded away.
The power I inherited from my father-inw allowed me to manipte the space created from dark matter.
Absolute dominance.
There was no way one could fight the space they were in itself.
But he did it anyway.
More specifically, the ck Box did.
Kh!
He resisted my dark matter, which was supposed to crush his body.
Such a phenomenon normally wouldve been impossible to ur.
His power was imperfect as well, considering a perfect deity didnt directly use it.
However, Second Demon Ssosia created the system skills specifically to counter the First Demon.
They were weapons to defeat her father!
And now, they were threatening even her magnificent husband.
However
Go away already.
The situation wouldve been different if the real First Hero was in front of me, but the one annoying me was just a fake.
Created from my Dark Energy.
Such an existence couldnt defeat me.
But my seniors clone used another trump card.
[Courage]
Light enveloped him, increasing his speed so much that my space couldnt contain him.
He sped up time, which was the First Angels power!
She, too, was imperfect, but the systempensated for her shorings.
I see
How he defeated my father-inw became clear.
My opponent was just a clone, but I was divided by the Fantasy system.
We fought on equal grounds.
Its time to meet your end, Demon Lord Pedonar!
My end?
I wasnt going to lose as my father-inw did.
Taking a step forward, I extended my right hand.
It was time to show my senior
How perfect his junior was.
I am the Perfect Hero.
I supported my allies spines in difficult situations.
And I punished the viins spines.
Not a single spine in the world would be left unattended.
I was the Spine Hero.
[Spine]
All spines would bend in front of me.
p!
The perfect weapon formed in my right hand, reminiscent of my cowardly wifes pelvis.
But that wasnt all.
I grabbed it as if it were a hilt, and its de immediately began to appear.
Seven cervical vertebrae, twelve thoracic vertebrae, five lumbar vertebrae, five sacral vertebrae, and five cygeal vertebrae.
Its de, consisting of 26 vertebrae, was ready.
It looks pretty cool.
This was my new Holy Sword.
I felt tremendous power.
Thats not a Holy Sword, husband! Thats just a spine and a pelvis!
I wasnt sure if I should ignore Ssosias prejudices.
Bam!
My seniors inferior Holy Sword and my perfect Holy Sword collided.
Neither of us was pushed back or had our weapons destroyed.
However
Khahk?!
Preparing another attack, the First Hero grabbed his lower back with his left hand and screamed desperately.
His 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae were dislocated, eliminating the support for his upper body.
With his spine injured, he struggled to even stay on his feet.
My victory was certain.
FSHUH!
But I couldnt finish the fight.
He was swiftly engulfed by light and moved through space, ultimately allowing him to escape.
That defied all logic.
The space in this area was under my control.
However, his skill bypassed my ability.
Tsk. He even had a contingency n for this situation.
Im sorry.
Ssosia immediately apologized.
After all, that spatial movement resulted from her coboration with the First Angel, which they prepared to make sure the First Hero would be able to retreat if he failed to defeat the First Demon.
Well, it doesnt matter.
The chances of my seniors clone recovering from his spinal injury and taking his revenge on me were extremely low.
I did all that I could to ensure I wouldnt have regretster.
My new weapon enforced that will.
His spine, struck by the power of my Holy Sword, couldnt be healed by anyone but a perfect deity.
My husbands power is too fraudulent. To receive a spinal injury from just a single collision against you
Hahaha! Ssosia, youd better treat your husband well in the future unless you want to suffer from a herniated disc.
You are a tyrant!
Say what you want.
Even my runaway father-inw wouldnt be able to stop me now!
At that moment
Mon?
Master Mon, held by Ssosia, swayed from side to side.
As soon as I looked at him, I felt like I was struck by lightning.
Being honored by his presence brought me enlightenment.
He had no spine.
My strength was nothing in front of the greatest being to ever exist.
Oh I felt chills w up my spine.
I had be too arrogant!
The truth was I had only be a little stronger!
I felt ashamed for being so impudent. I spoke of perfection in the presence of true absolute power.
I needed to rethink everything.
With such a tremendous lesson deeply imbued in my spine, I hastily reverted my image to that of a humble hero.
Hubby Youre an idiot.
Heeheehee.
Mon.
They couldugh as much as they liked today! However,e tomorrow, I would no longer forgive them!
Oh! Naturally, it went without saying that Master Mon couldugh at his humble disciple any time.
? Delight: I think cadet Kang Han Soo is great because he never turns his back on his beliefs.
Thank you! I also think beautiful Trainee Teacher is amazing!
What was that anyway? I asked Ssosia, examining the Demon Lords castle, which turned into ruins.
First Hero.
I didnt know how he could appear here. His personal file had already been destroyed.
I already exined it to you, Ssosia reproached me.
What? When?
69% of the Fantasy system has been ruined. Errors like this will frequently appear in the future.
I see The inspection team would be arriving soon, and Fantasy was still filled with errors.
If we continued at this rate, we would definitely witness this institutions end soon.
***
I, the Perfect Hero, wanted to return to my home to oust my little brother and suffer from fewer tennis racket hits from my mother.
I hated Fantasy for always preventing me from going home, but the school closure was an entirely separate issue.
After all
Even if the Fantasy Institution closes, we still wont be able to escape.
Whys that?
Just because itll be closed down doesnt mean its building will be demolished. You are its foundation, after all.
And if I destroy it myself?
Oh Listen closely. You do know that the name of an establishment often depends on its purpose, right? Police station, fire station, royal pce, office, daycare center, and so on.
And?
The same goes for the Fantasy system. Since my aunt and I use it for education, we call it an institution. Even if it were shut down, its system wouldnt disappear.
Hmm
That was bad news.
Moreover, if you destroy this divided dimension, all the creatures that live here will be destroyed, including the son you conceived with the Sword Princess.
I hadnt thought of that.
If the Fantasy World were destroyed, its inhabitants were obliterated along with it.
However, since regression rebuilt it and resurrected the dead locals, I didnt pay attention to it.
However, if its system copsed along with its dimension, regression would be impossible.
That would result in everyones permanent death.
Do you understand now, hubby?
I have another question.
What is it?
Since I wont be able to get out of here even if the school closes down anyway, why should I bother saving it?
88%.
88%?
Thanks to your victory over my aunt, I now have that much control over the system. If it hadnt been tainted, Fantasy wouldve already been ours, and youd be able to do whatever you want.
Ah
However, itll be apletely different story if Monsoft encroaches on the rights to manage it.
I expected as much.
I realized the seriousness of the problem.
It wouldnt be about partnership anymore. If a financial giant like them interferes, we will lose all control over Fantasy. Youll be turned into a ve thatll provide them with Dark Energy, and youll be fighting a battle thats much more difficult to winpared to your battle with my aunt.
It couldnt get any worse.
I learned that my destiny was inextricably linked with the Fantasy Institution.
I didnt know what he was doing now or where he was, but I would have to punish my father-inw for throwing this family business to me.
He deserves that that much, I guess.
What about you?
Look at the bright side of things. You got the second most beautiful woman in the world.
My niece~
What is it? Im just telling him the truth
As the two argued, I thought about our current situation.
If I could sessfully ovee this crisis, I would be able to return to Earth.
As a bonus, Id be able to get my revenge on the faculty members who had been oppressing me for thest 200 years.
It was time to focus on what to do next.
Ssosia.
Yes?
Can you reconstruct this ce?
Easily.
She waved her wand using her right hand, which caused a sudden change in our surroundings.
BRRRR!
A new castle emerged from the ruins of the Demon Lords vi.
Hey, this is some kind of tower, not a castle.
My headquarters turned into a huge cylindrical obelisk without windows.
Novels about heroes climbing up a 100-story tower are popr these days, and I thought we should keep up with the trends. However, if youre not satisfied
Leave my tower as it is!
I didnt want to be considered an FFF-ss redneck!
Ive thought this through nicely. All 100 floors of the tower are unique, having been based on currently popr romance novels. You have nothing to worry about.
Romance novels?
I was already worried!
Its impossible for the heroes to destroy this building from the outside, so theyll be forced to climb the floors. Perhaps the only exception to that rule is the buggy First Hero. However, since practically nobody can stop him but you, theres no point thinking about it.
Lord of Legends: Yasuho (20th floor)
Lord of Betrayal: Hanjo (40th floor)
Lord of Death: Silvaras (60th floor)
Lord of Steel: 2D (80th floor)
Ssosia diligently brandished her wand as she exined the structure of the tower.
Pop! p! Knock!
The area around my new base was quickly covered with forests,kes, and swamps. She then transformed nearby fortresses and human cities into eerie dungeons where ghosts and undead appeared.
She seemed to have a passion for terraforming and designings.
My niece really likes decoratings, Drug Hero, especially this one since shes born and raised here. She inherited that talent from her mother. Anyway, Im d to see her in high spirits. Heeheehee!
Mother-inw
She died a long time ago at the hands of evil adventurers from a neighboring.
I see
Now I understood why Ssosia was called God-creator Fantasy.
Like an artist, she added more and more strokes, touches, and details on thends around her, which served as her canvas.
It might seem like she was filling the space without anyyout, but that wasnt the case at all.
It looked
Very beautiful.
This was the first time I felt this way.
You mean my niece?
The Fantasy World.
Ssosia turned the area around the tower, which became a wastnd after my battle against my seniors clone, into a wild jungle.
After that, she set up dungeons all over the ce, which were indispensable for the heroes adventures.
Caves, tombs, temples, citadels, ruins, nests, dungeons
Monsters and traps werent even worth mentioning since those would naturally be a part of the world she was making.
? Admiration: Ive often heard stories about her from senior colleagues, but the councilor really is amazing.
You shouldnt be modest either.
Without Trainee Teachers help and support, I wouldnt have be the Perfect Hero.
? Embarrassment: My help? Cadet Kang Han Soo is very talented in his own right.
I wouldnt say that.
Before Master Mon, I was nothing.
Therefore, I had to work hard!
Hey, stupid husband! Where are you going?
Im going to subdue Lanuvel.
I would kidnap her before she could kidnap the Hero.
Chapter 305 - [21st Round] What about Lanuvel?
Chapter 305 - [21st Round] What about Lanuvel?
? Worry: With you in charge, there shouldnt be any problems anymore, but try not to kill the archaeologist in charge of summoning the students, please.
Dont worry, Trainee Teacher.
If she didnt pretend to be cute, everything would be fine.
I thought about where to start.
But I couldnt find Lanuvel by myself, especially not without any information.
I had a rough idea of where the otherpanions lived and what they did, but I didnt know anything about Lanuvel.
In the present timeline, she was always with the Hero from the moment she summoned them, so there was no need to guess where she was.
However, here in the past, I could only guess.
Since Lanuvel was a looter who dug through ancient ruins and dungeons, she always travels across continents.
Which dungeon was she in now? I wasnt even sure she was on the Central Continent.
For the record, I dont know her whereabouts either, cowardly hubby.
Im not surprised.
There were so many things in this world that its creator couldnt do.
If the system were in good condition, we could summon her directly to us. However, it will take decades before it can be restored, and thats assuming nobody else will further damage it.
I only had one year.
I couldnt just roam every dungeon looking for her.
PIP!
I contacted the Western Continent directly through my monphone.
Oh! Its only been 1,999 years, my benefactor. There should be a year left before your resurrection, but the wave of power that passed from the south of the Central Continent to the Western Continent is undoubtedly yours!
Shakespeare, who received my call, quickly understood the situation.
It was quite convenient.
He was the Connoisseur for a reason, after all. However, if it had been just that, our conversation wouldnt have been soconic.
What about the data I sent?
Monphones power helped me with this.
Haha! Ive already checked it and found out it belonged to me since it was sent through my future selfs secretwork. It had information stored within it that had been umting for 110 years. Im even willing to bet that this data, mined throughout the span of 110 years, is far more useful than all the advances Ive made in the past 1,999 years.
Right.
While I wrestled with the director for a century, Shakespeare busied himself with his research.
And before the world rebooted, he sent the collected data to my monphone.
In the end, a total of 110 years worth of data were collected.
However, I didnt know why he rated them higher than his 1,999 years worth of studies.
Thats interesting. Why is it much more useful? I asked the happiest married man in the world as I spread the wings of the righteous hero, soaring up into the sky.
Shakespeare provided an exnation.
The battle between the Demon Lord and the Goddess who oversees Fantasysted for 100 years, and it left a lot of interesting data as a result. You may not know this, but it looks like my future self went straight to the battlefield in search of truth. Due to that, I now have a huge amount of umted information in my hands.
Not bad.
In 3 years, I will show you even more interesting things.
Take your time. Theres a much more pressing matter to focus on right now anyway. I came back a year before the heroes starting point. Do you know what that means?
Of course, Lord of Demons and Hope. You mean to say an important moment will soon ur that would put the world in an endless loop of time?
Yes.
There was no need for detailed exnations, considering the truth was always with the Connoisseur.
What can I do for you and the world?
Soaring through the skies above the Dumpling Kingdom in search of Lanuvel, I replied.
The Western Continent of Fantasy must be thest bastion that no hero can invade. If necessary, I need it to turn into a prison within which the heroes can be eternally trapped. I must also have Informationworks on all other continents. Lastly, and most importantly, we need to develop a monphone that will allow heroes to use Wi-Fi on a limited basis. Of course, all this needs to be done within a year.
On a limited basis?
Yes. To prevent them from receiving any data from Earth, we need tounch sites and messengers readily avable only for monphone users. Naturally, well have full control over all of that.
I had been keeping this n in my head for a long time now.
And it had finally be possible to execute it.
The ssrooms werent connected to each other, but Wi-Fi would connect them through the intermediate bridge called Earth.
I had done it before.
After taking a photo of Ssosias pelvis at ss A using my monphone and posting it online, my clone from ss B eximed, Oh! That really is a cowardly pelvis!
Did you really take a photo of my pelvis, despicable hubby, or is that just an example?
Of course I did.
I even photographed it at a beautiful angle.
What?!
While you were moaning on all fours in front of me, I took a test shot and uploaded it onto the messenger.
Youre a pervert!
Why are you shouting? Your husband just took a couple of pictures of you. Theres nothing wrong and out of the ordinary in that.
A couple of pictures?! What if someone else sees it?!
Whats wrong with taking family photos? Everybody does it.
What you photographed has nothing to do with family photos!
Ssosia gave it her all to convince me to delete it.
Wifes pelvis Hmmmmmm!
Shakespeare, quietly listening to us, took a step closer to the truth.
Did I present my n clearly enough to be understood?
Yes. Everything will be ready soon. Haha! Do you have any other requests for me besides the informationwork and the monphone, my benefactor?
I want to know Lanuvels current location.
I can say for sure that she isnt here on the Western Continent. Other continents are outside my jurisdiction, so I have little to no information on them, especially the Central and Eastern Continents.
I see.
After ten years of researching and experimenting with Shakespeare on the Western Continent, I came upon a realization.
The dragon aura of my dearrade Noebius, who had built a nest in the form of a mountain range right in the heart of the Central Continent,pletely negated all types of detection.
It was the same with the Eastern Continent, home to thergest number of dragons in this world.
In other words
Noebius = all dragons.
My friend was truly unique.
Anyway, I didnt really expect Shakespeare to immediately pinpoint Lanuvels location.
If only she were on the Western Continent.
However, I still benefited from this, considering its elimination from the list of possible ces she could be at, which reduced my search range by 20%.
Ill gradually explore the Northern and Southern Continents in search of Miss Lanuvel. Benefactor, do you have any other requests?
We will deal with the rest as we go.
I see. Ill start developing the informationwork and will contact you again once Ive found Lanuvel or when the new model of monphone is ready.
Thanks.
For the Demon Lord and the world.
PIP!
It was a shame I couldnt find Lanuvel, but it didnt matter. Shed be back at the Dumpling Kingdom within a year
to kidnap social outcasts from other dimensions.
Are you thinking of distributing monphones, hubby?
Why?
I hope youve given this a lot of thought. Separating each dimension is a method conceived during the early days of the Fantasy Institution.
Hmm
It was most likely to ensure the students would grow more independent by blocking information?
In part, I agreed with that.
Because of my 200 years of experience here in Fantasy, I now held a lot of knowledge, but in my 1st round, I had to gain valuable experiences through trial and error.
The ability to solve problems without needing to rely on others was extremely important.
Perhaps spreading the monphones among the heroes would prove to be a rash decision.
Ahem, husband? There are no such grandiose intentions behind it.
Huh?
Why then?
Its to make the heroes feel special and one of a kind, making them think theyre the only ones that can prevent the destruction of this world, and ultimately making them feel responsible and proud.
They exploited the concept of the eighth-grade syndrome.
Funny.
Theres nothing wrong with making them think theyre special and that only they can prevent the destruction of this world.
That still sounds like eighth-grade syndrome to me.
If one thought they were one of a kind and a cut above the rest, then they had already developed an incurable disease.
Arent you like that yourself?
Is it because I consider myself the only normal member of society among all these outcasts? Isnt that just the purest truth, though?
I wasnt a social outcast, and that was made evident when I defeated Demon Lord Pedonar without the dastardly power of friendship and love.
It didnt mean I was special. On the contrary, it was just a system error that got me kidnapped with these losers.
Of course, there was a time when Imented why I was kidnapped into this barbaric world.
But even then, I didnt think I was special.
Any normal member of society could do what I had done.
I was normal.
Simply put, there were enough talented people on Earth who could achieve even more than I did.
Do you seriously think so?
Why ask if you can read my mind anyway?
Fair enough. However, if the system were working, wed be able to see evidence that my cowardly husband Huh?! Husband! Someone has infiltrated this world!
Infiltrated?
This wave of power Spatial movement! Someone arrived here through the Hero Summoning Magic Circle, but theyre not a hero! Theres still a year left before the Heros arrival!
Where exactly did they appear?
At the Northern Continent Kya?!
I grabbed Ssosias cowardly waist and took her in my arms.
My cowardly wife let out a squeal that was unusual for her, but I paid no attention to it.
The Hero-Summoning Magic Circle.
Chances were high that Lanuvel would be there.
Teleport us to that ce.
Ssosia was the creator and developer of Fantasy.
She could ignore causality.
No.
Why?
The system is broken! We should use the spatial transportation magic circle instead Kyaaaaa!
We didnt have any time to waste talking.
My cowardly wife offered to use the spatial transportation magic circle at the nearest Mage Tower, but flying to the Northern Continent would be much faster for me.
Holding Ssosia in my arms, I soared into the sky.
Get to work.
The Wind Spirit King, rubbing his cheek against my armpit, lifted his headzily.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
He summoned lower-ranking spirits, who immediately went to work.
They removed the air resistance in front of me and added speed to my flight.
I wasnt fooling around either.
[Darkness]
Fshuh! Fshuh! Fshuh! Fshuh!
I caused short-distance spatial jumps by shrinking space itself.
We reached the Northern Continent in about 10 seconds.
If I were at the peak of my strength, I wouldve gotten here in an instant, but in my current state, that was my limit.
Woah, thats amazing. I think you control the Demon Lords power better than my father did.
Thank you for thepliment. Now give me exact coordinates.
I thought I would instinctively know where to go when I got to the Northern Continent, but that was an arrogant mistake.
I wasnt sure if the energy being emitted was being concealed or not, but I couldnt locate it.
If Ssosia hadnt told me, I wouldnt even have known that someone had trespassed in this world.
There.
Ssosia pointed her finger somewhere in the distance.
An intruder? Lanuvel?
Those two could be in the same ce.
Im not sure. Whoever they are, theyre moving east of the magic circle at high speeds Kyaaaaah?!
Tsk!
Fshuh! Fshuh! Fshuh! Fshuh!
Narrowing the space, I quickly darted to the eastern part of the Northern Continent.
Arent you going to track them, hubby?
That wont be necessary.
I used to be the Northern Continents lovable emperor.
Like a 3D map, I had every nook and cranny of it preserved in my memory.
I had already figured out where the attacker was heading.
A small estate located in a kingdom bordering the Magic Kingdom. It was south of the Snow Mountain M in the middle of the Northern Continent.
Ah! That ce!
Ssosia, reading my mind, seemed to have finally realized it as well.
Yes.
They were heading to where the cruel dukes daughter, the Sword Princess, and her son Haris lived.
? Correction: His name is Chris.
Chapter 306 - [21st Round] Above Your Head!
Chapter 306 - [21st Round] Above Your Head!
My son Chris was undoubtedly born from the womb of the Sword Princess, who attracted the attention of the sweet three-year-old emperor.
But after that?
My son became an entirely independent,plete soul that no longer needed to be mothered.
Further details remained a mystery to me, however.
I waited for the developer to give an exnation.
Life born from the union of divided souls is like a sandcastle. It cant sustain itself. However, when aplete soul is involved, like the Heros, the results be different. Scientifically speaking, aplete soul is born if the sperm or egg is from anotherplete soul as well.
Thats not what I want to know.
What is it, then?
Im wondering if the Sword Princess is still Chriss birth mother.
Dont worry about that. Chris is still her biological son. She often has dreams about you impregnating her, too.
I see.
After getting ahead of the intruder and reaching my destination, Duke Qs estate, I began to descend.
They were one of the few noble families on the Northern Continent whose magic developed and flourished through swordsmanship.
Duke Qs family wielded something simr to a magic of mass destruction; they were like wizards that honed magic through a sword rather than a staff or wand.
Instead of graceful swordsmanship, they used cataclysmic sword energy to wipe out their enemies.
Before the appearance of the God of Wars Golden Golem, Duke Qs family was the strongest on the Northern Continent.
Even in the 5th curriculum, that fact hadnt changed.
Their peaceful estate was located amid a forest where finding even just one goblin would prove difficult.
But that didnt mean that monsters didnt live here.
Hargh!
Goorgh?
Grrr!
Plip!
Warriors wandered like guards throughout theirnd, wishing to be knights.
They leveled up by hunting whatever monster they could find, but there were too many of thempeting for the chance to y the few monsters left in the area.
In the end
This orc is mine!
Nonsense! I found it first!
Ha! Mine!
Grrr?!
Monsters being in as soon as they emerged from the womb of nature was a rare sight since it only happened within Duke Qs territory on the Northern Continent.
That was due to the policy of the local Swordsmanship Academy, where all who had talent and desire for the skill were trained and appointed knights, no matter if they were nobles,moners, or ves.
Of course, it was possible to find other estates where students were recruited into knights.
However, few individuals could teach as well as the people of Duke Q.
Rumors gradually spread, ultimately making the academy famous enough for people from farawaynds and even other continents toe here to study.
As a consequence
Get out of here!
Let me pass!
The prince ising!
Get out, servants!
There were many strange personalities here, most of them bachelors from high-ranking noble and royal families.
But they didnt visit to be knights of Duke Q.
There was another reason why this ce became well-known.
Swordsmanship tournaments.
Nothings changed.
The training hall of the Swordsmanship Academy, built next to Duke Qs castle, was full of spectators, most of whom were wealthy bachelors.
They all came to spar with swords.
With whom?
Ha!
Kh?!
The young man screamed desperately as he rolled across the dirt floor of the training ground.
His expensive metal armor was dented, and his coat of arms had turned into tattered rags.
He was by no means a weakling.
It was just that the woman he fought was far stronger.
Sword Princess.
She drew attention to herself by announcing that she would only marry the man who could defeat her in a sword fight.
However, no one could defeat her on the Northern Continent because she was a master of mid-rangebat. The aura emitted from the tip of her sword increased the radius of her attack.
? Race: Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Knight (Devotion Fortitude )
? Skills: Sword Aura ZZ, Fortitude ZZ, Charm Z
? Status: Bored
Sword Mastery, the most basic skill for all swordsmen and knights, wasnt even in her top five skills.
However, she was extremely powerful.
After all, none of the swordsmen and knights could break through her aura; doing so wouldve given them a chance to defeat her with the power of their swordsmanship.
Sword God Alex and the Mercenary King might stand a chance against her, but ordinary people didnt stand a chance.
However, unbeknownst to all
Shes shameless.
She was already a married woman and had a MAX-rank son. She was merely pretending to be an innocent maiden.
I cant do this today. My backs hurting.
Um, Im not in my best condition right now
Perhaps Ill just return next year.
Ah! I forgot! I have an urgent appointment!
One by one, the bachelors, aiming for the Sword Princesss pelvis, began to scatter the moment they witnessed how she turned one of their strongerpetitions into a crumpled tin can.
Sheathing her weapon, she turned around.
The Sword Princess looked a little over twenty, but it should never be forgotten that she was the mother to a person that no longer looked like a child.
Sir Chris!
I love you, Chris!
Im willing to give you all of me!
Please notice me!
Kya! Chriiiis!
Her son, surrounded by fans and watching the battle from afar, held out a towel to the Sword Princess when she reached him.
Thank you, Chris.
Youre wee.
If one werent aware of their rtionship, they would probably think they were siblings, and the only reason the two wouldnt be mistaken for lovers was that they looked too alike.
Regardless, he definitely inherited my spine since his bones were also strong and healthy.
What are you nning on doing, cowardly hubby?
I need to protect them. If they die or are captured, the situation will be moreplicated.
I snapped my finger.
I could secretly protect them from a distance, but in this situation, it was impossible to predict when the intruder would show up and what they would do.
It would be best for me to use a reliable method.
p! p!
A dark space formed under the feet of the two.
H-huh?!
Ah?!
To their surprise, they both fell into my Demon Vault.
It was safe there.
Have you confused protection and imprisonment?
Have I? Do you want me to protect you too? Youll be safe in Captain Fantasys mouth.
Oh no! Hohoho! You did everything just right!
Get it together. Theyre here.
I could now feel their presence without Ssosias assistance since not many living beings could move through space at such a high speed.
Spreading the wings of the righteous hero like a cloak, I took off, forming the perfect Holy Sword in my hand.
It was time to check their spine.
The intruder had a strange presence apanying them. Though I couldnt grasp it at first, my eyes soon dawned upon it as I heard a loud sound simr to a rocket engine, dumbfounding me. The person was standing on a ck aircraft that looked like an electric stingray.
What was that?
Its a space horse, My cowardly wife said, still in my arms.
Space horse?
Yes. Space horses are slow here because of thes air resistance, but theyre really fast in space. Additionally, since theyre creatures born from the power of God, theyre also extremely powerful. I know youre strong, hubby, but it would be best for you to aim at its rider right away instead.
I think so too.
I tried to keep it from moving, but the stingray pierced through my attempt as easy as tearing a piece of paper, proving itself to be an adversary that couldnt be easily defeated by the power of a divided Demon Lord.
If so
Fshuh!
I abandoned the n to contain the enemys steed and rushed towards the rider instead, narrowing the space between us.
Demon Lord?
Hero.
I could freely change my job between Hero and Demon Lord, depending on the situation.
Right now, I was the Perfect Hero.
I wasnt a big fan of this profession, but it was perfect for punishing evil.
This does not correspond to the information I received
Who gave you that information?
You dont need to know that.
Lanuvel?
I hate talkative men.
The MAX-ss Righteous and Perfect Heros eyebrows trembled from the childish provocation of the intruder!
Oh? Finally silent?
I was distracted by your cowardly pelvis.
What?!
The intruder, falling for my provocation as well, looked insulted.
I tried to close the distance to punish their pelvis, but, unfortunately, the stingray didnt take its eyes off me.
They immediately flew away.
This isnt going to be easy. The space horses mobility is outstanding. In space, It can fly at the speed of light,pletely avoiding the microscopic dust of the universe Kyaaaa!
To punish the viin, I held back my tears and threw a heavy Ssosia into the air.
Drug Hero! Im much lighter than my niece!
Im not that heavy either, auntie! This cowardly
Dont make excuses, niece!
But Im telling the truth!
The Perfect Hero picked up speed by sacrificing his cowardly wife.
I examined the intruder on the space horse from head to toe.
She was a beautiful woman in her thirties, showing off her lustful nature.
Her silver hair that went down to her thighs and her golden eyes contrasted her dark skin perfectly.
Hey, intruder, are you a hero too?
No.
Why is your outfit like that, then?
Whats wrong with it?
If you dont understand, thats okay.
She wore steel armor, revealing strong thighs, forearms, a narrow waist, and arge chest.
Did she wear it for protection or beauty?
With the level of protection it provided her with, it would be better not to wear armor at all.
Additionally
? Race: Arch-Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Unemployed (110% experience)
? Skills: Interpretation A, Riding C
? Status: Good
The intruders stats were almost a nk te.
Aside from the base configuration, she only had Riding C, which I assumed appeared because she was riding a stingray.
Her power wasnt reflected in her stats at all.
She looked like an ordinary earthling who had never been abducted by Fantasy.
However, as soon as she saw me, she immediately called me Demon Lord. That alone told me she wasnt just an ordinary innocent and oblivious maiden.
FSHUK!
I raised the perfect Holy Sword in front of me, deciding to save my questions forter. Id interrogate her once I had neutralized her spine.
What an ugly weapon.
This is the Holy Sword!
Hearing such stupidity already makes me want tough, but its divine power seems real, so The intruder, who was trying to keep her distance from me, sharply raised her hands.
Ku-gu-gu-gu!
At the same moment, a dark thundercloud formed amid the clear sky.
It wasnt magic.
[Lightning]
It was the power of God.
I wondered how she nned to defeat the Sword Princess and my son at level 1, but I understood now.
sh!
Lightning struck my head.
[Darkness]
In return, she was swallowed up by darkness.
The lightning struck so quickly that I couldnt escape it, but it couldnt harm me.
Is that all youve got?
Of course not.
Click.
An iron mechanism appeared in the hands of the unarmed malefactor. It resembled a machine gun.
That was quite a useful weapon in Fantasy!
Almost instinctively, I shouted. Ssosia!
Tra-ta-ta-ta-ta!
She opened fire almost at the same time as I shouted my cowardly wifes name.
Ignoring her bullets, I closed the distance.
Ha!
What?
Even her stingray, a master of evasion, found it difficult to escape since its rider stood motionless, focusing on raining down bullets upon me.
Bam!
I thrust my left fist into the muzzle of the machine gun, and with my right hand, grabbed the rider by the neck.
Khhhhhh
Her surprise became evident in her expression.
She couldnt seem to understand why I rushed into her line of fire instead of blocking her shots.
Did she really not know?
Selflessness was the main quality of true heroes.
Standing astride the space horse, I gently stroked the intruders lumbar region between her 4th and 5th vertebrae with my left hand, which had broken the machine gun.
Having lost her fighting spirit, she, in turn, trembled like an aspen tree.
Who are you
I hate talkative women.
Bastard
Crunch
I arched her back.
At that moment
Husband! Above!
[Lightning].
Babakh!
A bolt of electricity, which I had neglected, pierced my space and fell right on my head.
Whats up there?
I was a conductive Hero!
Nothing Hmm. You can continue your love affair.
Niece~
Dont misunderstand, your niece. As his good wife, I simply warned him of danger. However, since my husband isnt only cowardly but also tough, he remains perfectly fine
You know Im not talking about that~
I dont!
Heeheehee!
The MAX-ss Righteous Hero had caught the chatty viin!
Or not?
It seemed that the foreign-made electric rug under my feet exploded along with its owner due to a short circuit.
You shouldnt have ignored the power of electrical voltage, madam!
Chapter 307 - [21st Round] What’s Your Name?
Chapter 307 - [21st Round] Whats Your Name?
The electrocuted intruder looked terrible.
Both of her eyes burst, and blood gushed from her nose and ears.
I checked her stats to make sure.
? Race: Arch-Human
? Level: 0
? Job: Unemployed (Experience 110%)
? Skills: Interpretation A, Riding B, Barrage B, uracy C, Dodge C
? Status: Death, Dislocation
She had definitely died.
But I wasnt disappointed. After all, the life insurance here in Fantasy was in the form of resurrection.
One could resurrect not only useless pieces of experience but also viins who had important information, allowing them to interrogate them and get the intel they needed.
I couldnt do it in the first round because the Saintess and mypanions were against it, but it was different now.
Tsk It still angers me whenever I remember it.
Mypanions constantlyplicated matters.
They recused Inhabitant B, who was as useless as could be and left the high-ranking demons holding a lot of information untouched.
If I had squeezed all the information out of them, I wouldnt have had to spend ten years on the 1st round.
I never thought Demon Lord Pedonar would be so weak.
I dont want to defend my father, but he wasnt weak. Youre just too strong.
Im average.
If any other person who wasnt a social outcast got into Fantasy, they wouldve gained the same achievements I did.
Hows the damage from her attacks?
I have already restored everything.
My cowardly wife didnt stop the damage but repaired the aftermath instead.
She wasnt a Guardian God, but a Creator God, after all.
It was as if she made time itself rewind. With a wave of her wand, the destroyed terrains and casualties all reverted to their original states.
She didnt even need a saintess to resurrect the dead!
Now, bring this lustful intruder back to life.
No.
Jealousy is out of the question right now, Ssosia. Your pelvis is much prettier. Do I have to constantly tell you that?
Niece! You are so shameless!
Ssosia, who her husband and aunt had criticized, turned red and immediately began to make excuses.
Youre twisting my words again! Its not that I dont want to do this
Shameless!
Shameless!
I really cant do it! Her souls now tied to the world of Fantasy and is prepared to regress and start a new life as a novice hero in the elementary curriculum.
I understood what she meant.
She wasnt abducted, but the system treated her like she was anyway since she got here through the Hero-Summoning Magic Circle.
It automatically registered the intruder as a hero.
She failed and died in the middle of her adventure. Hence, like any other student, she would be forced to regress.
As a result, even though her body was intact, she couldnt be resurrected since her soul was nowhere to be found.
Thats correct.
What about Lanuvel?
Her trail was cut off. Ill check the magic circle and its surroundings. You take care of the Sword Princess and her son. You havent seen them in a long time.
To my surprise, Ssosia said something really sensible.
But I didnt think it was worth letting her go alone.
If the system admin got into trouble, our whole n would fail.
It would be much worse than losing the Sword Princess and Chris.
Therefore
Ssosia, ride with the wind
I pointed to the ck stingray, quietly letting me stand on its back even though I was the one who killed its rider.
Se-e-e-e-e-ex!
On this ramp-like creature thats been making obscene sounds.
Ssosia, who had already spread her ethereal violet wings and was about to fly away, had her eyes widening out of surprise.
Youre giving it to me?
Yes.
I could move quickly on my own.
Plus, this stingray was agile enough to dodge my attacks.
If Ssosia had this ramp, she could hold out against enemy attacks until I arrived.
Ah
Whats with that look?
I once read in a womens magazine that husbands who give space horses to their wives are the coolest. At the time, I thought it was stupid, but now I understand.
Whats so special about it?
Space horses are a real rarity, my wonderful hubby, and they are the symbol of a sessful woman. Even I cant afford them. There are no other means of transportation as convenient as them when ites to shopping in a neighboring gxy since theyre fast and can hold quite a lot of luggage. Additionally, in an emergency, theyre great escape vehicles.
Se-e-e-e-e-ex!
So Do you like it?
Yes!
Okay.
My cowardly wife, who acted like a child who just received her favorite candy, rode the space horse and flew west.
Giving her a cool car was enough to make her attitude towards me, her own husband, rotate a full 180 degrees.
Heeheehee!
Why are youughing, Addicted Spirit?
My nephew is so cute!
Hmm?
Keep making her happy! Although shes old, she has the heart of an innocent child!
Sure, I said, waving it off as Inded in the middle of Duke Qs estate.
At the same time, I released the Sword Princess and her son Chris, whom I had transferred into my Demon Vault.
St!
p!
Hopefully, their buttocks had cushioned their fall.
Confused, they looked around as they tried to figure out what had happened. I went to the local market.
What was that just now?
A battle between a demon and an angel?
It was a dragon! Im sure of it!
Are we safe now?
Naturally, the lightning strikes that tore through the clouds made the townspeople anxious and worried.
However, they didnt stay that way for long.
The residents of Fantasy were already used to seeing, adapting, and adjusting to all sorts of strange phenomena, allowing them to return to their usual daily routine with ease.
I havent been to ordinary cities in such a long time.
Each province had its own characteristics, and the domain of Duke Q was among the most developed. Still,pared to the huge futuristic city on the Western Continent, this city was indeed ordinary.
Perhaps I should make some changes.
? Race: Perfect Deity
? Level: 1
? Job: Great Sword Master (Hero = Demon Lord)
? Skills: Selflessness MAX, Love D, Courage D, Hope D, Friendship D
? Status: Good, Holy Sword
I was the Hero and the Demon Lord.
I could activate both options simultaneously, but I deactivated my Demon Lord profession, full of Dark Energy, for now, and took on the mantle of the MAX-ss Righteous Hero once more.
Skills didnt matter.
I was supposed to only have Selflessness, but it looked like my cowardly wife decided to y a trick on me.
And one more thing.
? Race: Perfect Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Selflessness MAX, Love D, Courage D, Hope D, Friendship D

Even if I used the hide function, my race still stood out too much and could raise suspicion among heroes and teachers since they could check others stats. Only my cowardly wife could hide the title Perfect.
Regardless, the locals would remain oblivious to it anyway.
Except for Shakespeare, the Connoisseur.
Are you going to meet the Sword Princess now, Drug Hero?
Yes, but I am a gentleman, so Ill go through all the necessary steps to meet with her.
I thought you were in a hurry.
I am.
But I had to change history wisely.
Everything needed to be well nned if I wanted to miraculously change the 5th curriculum within a year.
Fantasy consisted of five continents.
Suppose I devoted two months to each continent and devoted the remaining two months to El Mndo, the city of angels to the north of the Central Continent, and the city of sea mermaids, Id be able to do everything within a year.
However, would two months be enough for each continent?
It was hard to say.
After all, I had to consider the various intricately intertwined ideologies of many countries and the colliding interests of various people and groups.
Feuds, friendships, alliances, private sponsorships, marriages of convenience, contracts, jealousy, loyalty
Hey, Drug Hero, Im getting a headache from all this. Ill just lie down here and watch.
Thezy spirit sprawled on my head, sniffling.
I sincerely condoled with all the spirits who had to ept this pathetic First Spirit as their boss.
Mon.
Im not the boss! We are a family!
Mon.
Im telling the truth! Back me up here, my dear children!
Mon.
The Spirit Kings didnt answer, exercising their right to remain silent.
Youre making me upset!
While the Addicted Spirit was in disarray, I visited the reception room at the entrance of Duke Qs Swordsmanship Academy.
Each spring, many men and women gathered here to express their desire to enroll, but right now, there were only traders and parents who wanted to get permission to enter to see their children.
Judging by your age, you didnte here to study. I suppose you want to propose to the Dukes beautiful daughter Ahem. I suppose you want to register for the tournament. What is your name?
Upon seeing me, the employee immediately decided the purpose of my visit for me.
He looked familiar.
I knew more about his daughter than him, though.
She would marry a promising knight from the academy, who would die in a trap set by goblins just five days before their honeymoon.
In other words, she would be a young widow.
Although mypanions criticized me for choosing to brighten up her loneliness, I still didnt regret it.
Mr. Manager.
Yes?
When your daughter is about to get married, advise her to postpone it for five days.
What?
Ahem! Lets get started with my registration. My name is Parpar, and Im 33 years old. Although I look young, I am actually a year older than the Dukes daughter.
I dont know if thats your real age or you just love being called big brother by thedies. Regardless, tell me where youre from and what you do.
That was a very good question.
I took out a ring from my vault and put it on my left finger.
The si ring featured the head of a blue lizard.
Surprised, the manager dropped his pen.
What is the name of the capital of this country? Moscow? Mosquito?
Moskar?
Ah! Exactly. Moskar! The name seems to be correct. Haha! It has been a long time since Ist visited the country of the woman who gave birth to me.
That cant be
I am a member of the noblest royal family and will be the sweetest emperor in the future, though I am a bastard child born in a barn.
I see The managers tone became polite.
Stupid fantasy savages were very weak against the words imperial and royal.
What about the registration?
Sorry, Im almost done. Having a magic ring, which only royal family members can wear, is enough to confirm your identity. Sir Parpar, what profession should I write for you?
My ring wasnt a mass-produced magic essory given out to all princes and princesses.
Only kings could wear it.
However, the manager didnt seem to be aware of this.
And since I identified myself as an illegitimate child, it was impossible to list Prince as my job.
What should I tell him Ah!
Sword King.
? Assumption: Do you miss Alex?
Eeeek?! Trainee Teacher! Dont say such scary things!
My heart almost stopped!
Chapter 308 - [21st Round] Sword King Parpar
Chapter 308 - [21st Round] Sword King Parpar
If I recalled properly, the Sword Princess was jealous of Alexs Sword King title.
Sword Princess.
The strongest among women received such a nickname, which she found not at all suitable.
As a swordsman, not a woman, she wanted to be called the Sword King.
The Sword King?
Whats wrong? The title is vacant. Or do you want to register me as emperor?
Oh no!
Alex, who married the armless Snow Woman, was now much stronger than during the 4th curriculum.
Quite frankly, He had reached a level enough for him to even challenge me.
Now he had be the Sword God.
Naturally, the Sword King title, which was below it, had been vacated.
However, if I imed it for myself, it would be a clear provocation towards the Sword Princess.
Are we done here yet?
O-oh, yes. You are registered under the name of Parpar, who originated from Moskar. 33 years of age. Profession Sword King. A tournament for applicants who have decided to challenge the Dukes beautiful daughter is held each time 64 people pass the initial test. Even if it annoys you, you need to pass this test too. Take this piece of paper and show it to the guards at the entrance.
Mr. Manager, how many applicants are there at the moment?
Fifty-six including mister Parpar. The tournament will not start until eight more people apply. From experience, it will probably take about four days toplete the quota.
Thanks.
I made my way to the academy entrance next to the reception area.
Are you here to get tested? One of the guards asked.
Yes. I handed the paper over to him.
Thanks. This seems to be your first time, but you look confident. Everyones usually nervous.
Ive challenged her before when I was 22 years old. Hmm. Not sure if I was 22 years old then. I dont remember anymore.
But I did.
I challenged the Sword Princess, even though Lanuvel told me fighting her without the Holy Sword was too reckless.
Ah! So you already have experience. Thats impressive. For ten whole years, youve done nothing but prepare for your next fight against her, never once marrying anyone else or trying again.
Im a romantic.
The age of marriage in the world of Fantasy was quite diverse.
On the Northern Continent, men were 18 years old, and women were 16 years old.
It differed depending on the continent and country. Additionally, if their poption were greatly reduced due to war or natural disasters, that bar would be lowered.
This was different from Earth.
They hadnte up with a convenient weapon that would eliminate hordes of monsters without requiring much effort from the owner.
In other words, the survival of a group of people depended on the size of their poption.
When a king or feudal lord concluded that their territory was under threat due to their small poption, they would encourage even the youngest of their people to marry and have children. In critical cases, they even made itpulsory.
But I dered my age to be 33 years old, making me seem like a bachelor who was veryte in getting married.
? Appearance: When in fact, youre actually a seasoned veteran when ites to marriage.
You got it all wrong, Trainee Teacher! I still have a pure and innocent heart!
The academy guards, who considered me a bachelor, were very friendly to me.
My fantasy career was 200 years running.
I could earn a good reputation with the locals just by breathing.
Haha! I will personally root for you, Sir Parpar.
I will support you too. Oh! 11 years I wouldnt have been able to tolerate it.
If you change your mindter, please let me know. I know a widow.
Follow me. Ill take you to the training ground.
Thanks.
After epting words of encouragement from them, I quickly made my way to the training ground for the test.
Hiya!
Ha!
Hiya!
There I saw people of both genders training with swords in their hands under the scorching sun.
All of them were academy students who had received recognition for their talents, ultimately turning them into potential knights.
Among them was my son Chris.
? Race: Human
? Level: 249
? Job: Prince (Strength of the nation = Willpower )
? Skills: Gifted Z, Sword Mastery MAX, Omnipotence MAX, Charm MAX, Willpower MAX
? Status: Training, Awakening
Fraudulent stats.
His skills ranks were impossible to obtain at such a young age.
Even though my experience gain was always multiplied by 5 due to my Hero profession and trained tirelessly for ten years, unlike Chris, I still couldnt get a MAX-ranked skill, let alone a Z rank.
I knew why.
He had the perfectbination of Gifted and Omnipotence skills!
His level was low because he didnt particrly hunt monsters, but it was still significantly higher than the other students.
? Race: Human
? Level: 94
? Job: Noble Daughter (Bloodline = Charm )
? Skills: Charm S, Swords Mastery A, Sword Aura B, Sociability C, Dexterity C
? Status: Heart palpitations
That was the stats of the girl spinning around my son.
Her low skill rank wasnt a problem, but her spine and pelvis werent impressive.
For some reason, she made me feel ufortable.
Sir Parpar?
Oh! My apologies. I was watching how these weak outstanding students train.
Hahaha! I know how you feel. Whenever we watch Master Chris train, whom the princess loves so much, we often lose track of time. I feel proud and relieved every time I think that boy will be the next owner of this estate.
Is that so
Im sorry, but this is where I take my leave. The test will be carried out by a knight who also happens to be an instructor at the academy.
Thanks.
Good luck, Sir Parpar.
I turned around and parted ways with Guard A.
Oh! I recognized the tester.
Knight L, the old man who loved the Sword Princess, the only daughter of Duke Q, like she was his granddaughter.
He was the one who tried to turn a normal test into the embodiment of hell to make sure his precious Sword Princess wouldnt go to some fool.
As soon as I saw him, I gritted my teeth.
I got my ass kicked that time.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Lolikun. Since my backs beginning to give up on me due to old age, I decided to start educating young students of the academy. Although I look like an ordinary old man, Im still a count, not an ordinary knight, so behave ordingly. You can call me Instructor Lolikun, Count Lolikun, or Sir Lolikun. Whichever you prefer.
Count Loli.
Dont call me that. That nickname is only for the youngdy and my lord.
Lets begin the test already.
Even though I introduced myself as a count, you still behave so impudently Hmm? What is that ring youre wearing? Oh! Are you royalty?!
Yes, I replied, showing it to him.
Knight Ls brows twitched.
Hey! Stop wasting time.
Lets finish the introductions here and proceed with the verification process. Put your right hand on this ball. Dont be afraid.
Ive done this before.
The ser-ball-sized green crystal ball was a magical tool for measuring experience and level.
It showed more urate numbers than magic sses.
Your level must be above 300.
I see.
At the moment, I was just level 1, which was no different from a newborn baby. It fell far below the standard set by Knight L.
However
WOOOOOOOO!
Experience was a Fantasy resource created by the power of the Demon Lord and the director.
I couldnt generate experience points on my own, but I could trick this primitive tool.
Level 580!
Knight L was amazed.
Transcendental entities such as my dear friend Noebius and Connoisseur Shakespeare easily crossed level 999, but that was unreachable for most locals and monsters.
If a persons level exceeded 100, he was already in the top 10%. And if they exceeded 200, they would belong to the top 2%.
Due to the nature of their job, which more often than not made them fight only the strongest opponents, it became it more difficult for heroes to realize that.
Lets move on to the next test.
I could have made my level higher, but I deliberately adjusted it to the Sword Princesss level.
In doing so, she would mistake me for an equal opponent.
Now, this ball.
Tool for viewing jobs, right?
That is correct, Sir Parpar. Its a very valuable magical tool specially crafted by the Tower of Sage.
Specifically crafted
Would I be able to deceive it?
Knight L, holding me back from trying to put my hand on the ball, said, Before you begin, I want you to know that this is just for reference.
I know.
The ball will change its color depending on ones profession. Wizards are blue, warriors are red, artisans are green, and scientists are yellow. White represents nobles, and ck represents a profession that shouldnt be openly discussed. Bright glows signify dignity, and the darker the color, the more skillful they are in their profession.
I know.
There have been cases where the measurement results were so bad the applicants became unhappy. Thats why I needed to give you a fair reminder.
I got it.
Now then, you may proceed.
Finally!
This time, I was unable to influence the magic instrument.
The magical structure turned out to be moreplex than the one used to measure experience points.
FShshshshshh!
It didnt take long for the result to appear.
Hmm?
This The crystal ball turned so ck that it absorbed almost all light from external sources while emitting a bright obsidian glow.
That made me curious.
In my 1st round, when I took the profession test as a Hero, the ball turned hot pink.
Its glow also seemed to be much more intense than my 1st round.
Knight L, whose face turned white, swallowed.
Interesting result, I said.
Y-yes, extremely so. You have a job that shouldnt be talked about in public, but you also show strong signs of dignity. A color like that
Lets move on to the next test.
Okay
After that, I took a simple written test given to all students to test their literacy.
And then I got my chance.
Gha?!
Phe?!
Kya?!
I sparred with the students of the academy.
They used the warriors hoping to get the Sword Princesss hand in marriage to hone their students actualbat experience.
If the challenger lost the fight or were to be seriously injured, they would be disqualified!
I, of course, passed without a problem.
Even my mood has improved now.
You are a very strange man
I was given a legal and official chance to punish the girl hanging around my son.
If she wanted to be the MAX-ss Righteous Heros daughter-inw, then she needed to work on her pelvis!
The final test was welfare.
Sir Parpar. You are allowed to give a gift to ourdy. If she likes your gift, you can skip the tournament and challenge her right away.
Thats called bribery.
Hahaha!
Knight Ls expression made it clear he wanted to give me a piece of his mind, but he decided to justugh it off.
Heres my gift.
I handed over my ring.
Are you serious? Asked Knight L, whose smile had disappeared.
Royal family ring.
Members of the royal family could be punished if it was passed onto the wrong hands.
I answered cheerfully. Ill still get it back from her anyway.
? Delight: Its so romantic
Trainee Teacher understands me!
However, Knight L didnt support my optimism.
I have seen many young men from noble families who also gave their si rings and then lost.
I am different.
They also said so at first. Let me give you a piece of advice, Sir Parpar. Dont confuse reality with fantasy.
Give it to her.
I hope you dont regret itter.
Count Loli.
Lolikun!
Let me give you a piece of advice, Count Loli. Sometimes reality is more like fantasy.
The tournament was held the very next day.
A friend of mine, the manager, assumed it would start only after four days, but it began much earlier thanks to the eight people who joined voluntarily after having their spines grabbed by the passing Hero A.
I was really lucky.
Chapter 309 - [21st Round] Finals
Chapter 309 - [21st Round] Finals
Greetings! Before you all are the 64 brave warriors permitted to join the tournament to earn the right to challenge our princess, whom we aptly nicknamed the Thorny ck Rose, for her hand in marriage! Let us wee them!
Boooooo!
Boo!
Boooooo!
Combat in Fantasy, a ce with few entertaining activities, was a weed event for locals.
However, applicants who came to gain the favor of the Sword Princess, whom the people loved madly, were greeted with boos and angry exmations.
We were no different than some rogues trying to take away their favorite idol, whom they were crazy about, after all.
How dare those pitifulmoners
As soon as I get her hand Well see.
Those scum!
The unweed royals and nobles approached the arena, gritting their teeth and muttering curses.
It wasnt surprising that most of the applicants had high statures in life.
The minimum level for participation was 300.
The top 0.1% strongest individuals were concentrated among the nobility, knights, and wizards.
Commoners in jobs such as agriculture, handicrafts, and fishing had few opportunities to level up.
They could gain experience by killing animals, but in fact, men who hunted animals all their lives wouldnt even reach level 20.
Everything is exactly as I remember.
The 4th and 5th curriculums differed only in detail.
The Sword Princess, who was actually a married woman and the mother of my son Chris, was now older and stronger.
However, the difficulty of the tournament didnt increase that much.
Boooooo!
Boooo!
Booooooooo!
Even the crowd booing the participants was simr to the previous tournament.
Regardless of who won and lost, the audiences attitude would remain the same, which only seemed fair. It would be bad when one was apuded, and the other was booed, after all.
In the 1st round, even mypanions argued that I couldnt win. All in all, the atmosphere was invigorating.
The Sword Princess will be mine!
Haha! Stop joking around!
Behold, the power of my swordsmanship!
Its time to unleash my sealed power!
The contestants of the tournament finally shed.
The fights werent that impressive because the rules forbade killing the opponent.
Soon enough, my turn came.
I present to you the 53rd participant! He hails from the Vailo estate, located at the north of the already cold Northern Continent! Please wee Count Vailos second son, Harpy Hunter Kyo, with thunderous apuse!
Boooooo!
Booooooooo!
Boooo!
And his opponent, the 54th participant whose origins can be traced back to Moskar! Sword King Parpar! Awesome nickname! Apud him!
Booooooo!
Booo!
Contender No. 53 and I, the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, went to the center of the arena as the audience warmly weed us.
I decided that I would deal with the opponents in a fair fight without using the power of the Demon Lord and the Hero.
As soon as we got close, my opponent immediately tried to provoke me.
By hunting harpies, I became stronger and even faster than the winds themselves! Try to keep up with my speed!
He seemed confident in his speed.
That was something that I was good at, too.
I answered him with the Righteous Heros smile.
Is that so? Lets have a fair fight and put our spines on the line.
Ah!
Show me this faster-than-the-winds speed of yours.
I-I g-give up!
He really was a windy man.
Contender #53 gave up without even giving me a chance to grab onto his spine.
Damn it!
That was unexpected.
Well Since Harpy Hunter Kyo has surrendered, Sword King Parpar advances to the next stage of the tournament! Hes really lucky to be able to save his strength for his next opponent!
Boooooo!
Booo!
Booooooooo!
The first day of the tournament ended.
I thought I would show them the power of the skills I learned from Master Mon!
But I didnt even get the opportunity.
We had to spend the night under strict guard in a temporary amodation provided by the Duke Q Swordsmanship Academy.
Participants could take care of their injuries, have their equipment repaired free of charge, and prepare for tomorrows battles.
However, it was impossible to rx.
Because the battles took ce not only in the arena.
Ouch! My stomach!
Is the soup poisoned?
Who did this?!
Some participantsined of diarrhea.
As far as I knew, one of the chefs took a bribe and put axative in the soup, but the tournament judge dismissed theirints, advising them to solve the situation themselves using appropriate skills.
As a result, three people withdrew from the tournament that night.
People whose level had exceeded 300 would tell others that at that level, diarrhea was no longer terrible since they could now control many processes of the body through the help of skills. However, if there were level 300 individuals, there werexatives made from the excrement of level 300 monsters as well.
The next stages of the tournament went pretty quickly.
1/16 finals.
I give up!
1/8 finals.
I give up!
Quarterfinals.
I give up!
Hmmm
Semifinals.
Kh?!
I finally caught one!
I was d that my friends, delighted by the Righteous Heros smile, decided not to interfere with my objective and gave up, but this confused the public.
This has to be some form of scam
How many times has this happened?
The Sword King Parpar is suspicious.
Hes almost definitely a crook
Fortunately, the suspicion subsided when I managed to grab one of the participants by the spine before he could give up.
My reputation as the Perfect Hero shouldnt be spoiled.
When would these ignorant fantasy savages realize that admiration should be shown in moderation?
6th day.
The final stage had begun.
Greetings to all of you attending the final stage of our tournament! Today, we shall witness a legendary being, the Sword King Parpar, fight off against a mysterious swordsman named Porori, who hails from the distant Eastern Continent! Whoever emerges victorious from this battle shall earn the right to challenge our mistress, the beautiful rose, and the deadliest swordswoman across thends of Fantasy!
Booooooooo!
Booooooo!
Booooooooooooo!
Under the thunderous ovation of the speaker and the audience, the MAX-ss Righteous Hero and the insignificant Challenger A appeared and stood opposite each other.
Since he made it to the finals, I checked his stats out of courtesy.
? Race: Human
? Level: 451
? Job: Brave (Everyone = Level 1)
? Skills: Sword Mastery S, Dual de Mastery A, Dexterity A
? Status: Concentration, Determination
So that was how he made it to the finals.
Brave.
If I encountered him during the first few days of my journey, I would never be able to defeat him.
But now?
He wouldnt even be suitable for my warm-up.
My name is Porori. Im the one who will soon conquer the Sword Princess. I dont know what tricks you used to get here, Sword King Parpar, but it wont work on me Tsk!
Oh?
I attacked Challenger A right in the middle of his fervent speech, but he dodged my surprise attack.
Even though I wasnt even using a sixteenth of my strength, I still didnt think he would be able to dodge.
However
Kh?!
There wouldnt be a second time.
I immediately grabbed his neck between his 6th and 7th vertebrae, not giving him time to recover.
I had no time to waste.
BOOM!
Holding his neck, I pinned Challenger A to the ground.
He had a pretty strong skull!
You surprised me.
Kh
You are the first to hold against Sword King Parpar this long. You can be proud of that.
Challenger A, delighted by the MAX-ss Righteous Heros praise, couldnt find the right words to reply with.
The fight is over! Everyone expected a fierce battle, but Porori, a swordsman from the east, couldnt cope with Sword King Parpars sudden onught and was almost immediately defeated, leaving Sword King Parpar as the victor! Please support him with deafening apuse!
Oh
Hmm
p! p! p!
Among the spectators during the finals, the academy students who watch and learn from the experienced fighters gave me, the tournaments winner, a round of apuse.
One of them was my son.
He seems surprised.
He probably caught and understood every move of the MAX-ss Righteous Hero.
His talent was really impressive.
But that was only natural, considering he inherited my spine.
? Awe: After the boring action scenes, the romantic part finallyes.
Hmm? Trainee Teacher doesnt like action?
I thought it was her style since she dreamt of bing the heroes teacher.
? Difficulty: I didnt say I dont like it. I just love romance a little more, but not enough for me to neglect my work!
Ill keep that in mind, Trainee Teacher!
? Embarrassment: And I think cadet Kang Han Soos way of fighting with a righteous smile on his face is good for both action and romance. A man fighting for adys heart is attractive in itself.
Im ready to fight for your heart, Trainee Teacher!
Um
What?
Sir Parpar, would you mind letting go of Porori? It seems that he no longer has any air left in his lungs.
Oops.
Ipletely forgot about him since I was distracted by my conversation with the beautiful Trainee Teacher.
BAM.
Challenger A fell to the ground, gasping for air desperately.
There was nothing I could do. It wasnt my fault that a level 451 fighter was that weak anyway.
Kha-kha!
My Brave friend.
Huh?! How did you know Kha-kha!
Relying on your profession alone is foolish.
The Sword Princess cant be defeated in such a primitive way, after all.
After our fair fight, I went to rest as I waited for the romantic part Trainee Teacher liked so much.
To save time, it would be nice to immediately ask for the hand of the Sword Princess, but the tournament had a specific schedule that I was instructed to follow.
It was extremely rare for challengers to win the tournament without injuries, after all.
Bruises, cuts, and broken bones were allmon.
Only in childrens cartoons and books did the challengers limbs remain unharmed after fiercebat.
However, there were always exceptions.
The long-awaited event soon took ce.
Behold! The beloved daughter of Duke Qureil, the Northern Continents epitome of beauty, the warrior who single-handedly slew 954 ogres, the Order of the ck Roses Head, one of the three strongest knights of the Northern Continent, Guardian of the Eastern and Northern Continents, Commander of the Eastern Legion, Deputy Commander of the Northern Legion, High Priest of Mons Teachings, the Rank 2 Mon Pdin, bearer of Mon Medal of Honor, Guardian Goddess of Moskara, Guardian of Kureil Manor, the Magic Sword Master, Snow Queen Elshas Friend, the Snow Mountain Conqueror, the Ice Princesss bailiff, the Ice Troll yer, the Spiked ck Rose Sword, the Legendary Princess reincarnated almost 2,000 yearster! Countess Kaisa Kureil!
Wow!
Yesss! Aaaahhh!
Woooo!
The Sword Princess entered the arena to the enthusiastic cheers of the assembled spectators.
Her ckbat suit, which looked like abination of a womans dress and knightly armor, was impressive.
That was thanks to Duke Q for persuading his daughter frompletely hiding her body under her armor.
Her golden hair was cut at shoulder height to keep it out of the way during battle.
A typical female knight.
But one shouldnt fall under the spell of this strong but beautiful woman.
Deep down, she was a crazy bitch who, through her own fault, appeared in a nightgown and tried to kill the Hero who had to save the world.
It was time for me to go out as well.
Behold! The man who wants to win the heart of Countess Kaisa Kureil. Sword King Parpar of Moskar!
Boooooo!
Boooooooooo!
Boooo!
The stupid crowd didnt even acknowledge the MAX-ss Righteous Hero.
Their attitude towards me wouldnt affect the oue of the battle, but I decided to create a romantic atmosphere.
Addicted Spirit.
Heeheehee! My children! Support the Drug Hero with me!
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop
As soon as the First Spirit called them, innumerable spirits appeared in the air.
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
From inferiors to kings.
They all filled the arena to cheer me up.
The Fantasy savages were speechless, but their silence didntst long.
The Soul Spirit King went to work, setting mind control in motion.
The Sword King is so cool!
Good luck, Sir Parpar!
You will definitely win!
Long live Sword King Parpar!
I entered the arena to the cheers of the crowd, appearing before the Sword Princess.
Hi~
Do you call yourself the Sword King?
Yes, why?
As expected, my taunt worked.
The Sword Princesss face became flushed with anger as she red at me. That nickname goes well with your barbaric face, Sir Parpar.
Huh?
What was this bitch talking about? Had she gonepletely crazy?
Chapter 310 - [21st Round] Mollan Paladin
Chapter 310 - [21st Round] Mon Pdin
? Empathy: As a trainee striving to be a teacher, I shouldnt show any special preferences to any particr student. However, I think that cadet Kang Han Soo, who frightens even evil spirits, really has the most handsome face. Rest assured that this opinion of mine will never affect my work.
Thank you for thepliment, Trainee Teacher with the most beautiful body and soul! I am undeserving of it!
I wanted to talk to her a little more, but I needed to deal with the cheeky Sword Princess who took me for a savage.
Ha! Barbaric face?
She should never have dared to say something so atrocious to me, a civilized man from Earth!
This provocation was too obvious, but I decided to pretend that I, the Righteous Hero, was hurt.
Be honest with yourself, Drug Hero.
Shut up.
Heeheehee!
How was I supposed to fight?
If I used the wings of the righteous hero, it would attract too much attention. Additionally, if there were a Brave user in the audience, they would be able to recognize me.
I couldnt use the Perfect Holy Sword either.
It would serve as my main weapon in the future. If I showcased it here for all to see, it would be no different from admitting that I was the Demon Lord.
Should I fight with my bare hands?
It wouldnt work either.
The Sword Princess had a very powerful sword. If I blocked her attacks with my bare hands, even stupid Fantasy savages would find it odd.
The tournament also specifically indicated that the Sword Princess had to be defeated in a sword fight.
The Sword Princess herself would be cheating with her medium-range attacks, though, but I didntin.
I resolved my predicament.
Hear me, Sword of the End, ruined by Chaos and reforged on the Stars of Oblivion! I hereby dere that I remember your sacred name and praise you for your de that cuts the bonds of meaningless friendship and love! Awaken from your slumber and prove that our legendary alliance has existed since time immemorial! Come forth and serve me once more, Holy Sword Nucleon!
Pop!
From the moment I got the wings of the righteous hero and the Perfect Holy Sword, Nucleon became a useless piece of metal.
Nevertheless, I pulled out the obsolete relic that had been gathering dust in the corner of the Demon Vault.
? Problem: Ive always thought its a beautifully designed Holy Sword, which is perfect for you.
I pulled out the wondrous novelty of our era, stored in the Demon Vault!
Holy Sword Nucleon.
This powerful Holy Sword, used by the Elf Hero, was created specifically to fight Demon Lord Pedonar.
At one point, unable to prove its truest worth in the hands of its pathetic previous owner, it fell into the hands of the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, receiving a second wind.
And now it had once again appeared before the world upon being summoned by the MAX-ss Sword King Parpar!
There was something I didnt like about the crowds reaction, though.
If the spirits didnt want me to chase them all away, they should get to work.
Wow!
Wow!
Awesome!
The audience immediately burst into thunderous apuse.
Much better.
Holy Sword?
Since Im going to face the strongest sword of the Northern Continent, conventional weapons will not work.
Right.
Okay! Enough evaluating each other, its time to start the battle.
Agreed.
I decided to seal my level and skills using only the strength of my body, which had evolved in ordance with the teachings of Master Mon.
I didnt like pretending to be weak, but this was not a fight to the death.
Hence, I had to be humble.
? Delight: Cadet Kang Han Soo, its very romantic of you to hold yourself back for her.
Of course, Trainee Teacher!
I already defeated the Sword Princess in the 1st round. However, back then, I made her mypanion, not my wife.
I wanted to return to Earth, after all, where my mothers tennis racket was waiting for me.
I had no time to pretend to y.
However, as mypanion, she never admitted defeat and didnt trust me until the end.
She called me a demon.
I still remembered my first roundsst day quite perfectly.
The Sword Princess, who was always ready for my surprise attack, fell, resisting to the end.
The Mercenary King, Sage, and Elf Queen werent even aware of anything.
They never imagined that I would attack them before defeating Demon Lord Pedonar, who was trying to destroy the world.
It was considered impossible to defeat him withoutpanions, after all.
That was why they were confident that I wouldnt touch them until this moment.
But I broke those prejudices by killing them all.
I was weak against magic, so I first dealt with Sage, breaking through his magic shield.
Then I killed the Elf Queen Sylvia, who had enved the spirits with ease, considering she didnt have time to give the spirits any orders. Without them, her defense was weak.
I targeted the Sword Princess next, then the Mercenary King.
He boasted the highest level of protection, which shouldve allowed him to survive my surprise attack, causing the battle to drag on.
However, the Sword Princess was the only one who dodged my blow.
She didnt panic and calmly reacted to my sudden barrage.
Just like now.
Youre fast.
The Sword Princess was a mid-range fighter. Although she used a sword, she didnt rush into closebat situations.
She stepped back, keeping a small distance between us.
And I continued to chase her.
To avoid losing to the Sword Princess, one should always stay as close to her as possible.
Fshuh!
However, as I expected, she didnt allow me to approach her that easily.
Without showing her back, she quickly stepped back, unleashing dozens of attacks in my direction with her sword energy.
I knew that technique well.
Sword Storm.
That was the Sword Princesss favorite tactic.
Since it didnt require any preparation time and its range was long, it couldnt boast great strength, but she could still unterally inflict damage on her opponent, preventing them from reaching her.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I tried to close the distance while blocking her bombardment using Nucelon, but she wasnt easy to catch. Our fight would have turned into an endless pursuit if we werent dueling in a confined space.
Oh!
Everything was the same as the 1st round.
The Sword Princesss eyes widened in surprise upon noticing it toote that she was being squeezed into a corner of the arena.
This was probably the first time it had ever happened to her.
It was time for closebat.
Bam!
Boom!
Our swords collided.
Her hand did not flinch, however, because of her magic sword.
Usually, when ones stats increased, swordsmen switched to more suitable weapons for their new level, but the Sword Princesss sword grew with her, letting her keep it from start to finish.
This makes no difference.
Huh?
The Sword Princess unleashed another Sword Storm at me.
In closebat, the strength of that technique of hers becamepletely different.
However, I, the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, didnt even flinch against its might. I pierced through her chest.
The events that transpired were the same as before.
The Sword Princess, unable to stop my offensive, would fall to the ground as her blood burst out, ultimately ending our bout.
However
Mon Swordsmanship, 3rd Form: Mons Unity.
What?
Why did such a great namee up at this time?
When she muttered something like a spell, her movements elerated greatly.
Fighting off my Holy Sword Nucleon, which had pierced her chest, she swung her Magic Sword Eyer diagonally.
This was madness!
Thinking I was up against the same old Sword Princess was too careless of me.
Just as Sword King Alex and Phantom King Shakespeare became extremely powerful when they got married, no rule forbade the Sword Princess from bing stronger as well.
I lost sight of this.
Mons Teachings had be widespread on the Northern Continent of Fantasy.
I shouldve paid more attention.
High Priest of Mons Teachings.
Rank 2 Mon pdin.
Bearer of Mon Medal of Honor.
The Sword Princess didnt have those titles in the first round.
She probably gained them in the 5th curriculum.
All the countries of the Northern Continent had made Mons Teachings their state religion. It shouldve been no surprise that the Sword Princess had assumed a leading role in it.
Oh Great Master Mon! You always remind me, your humble student, the importance of vignce!
He always caught me off guard when I least expected it.
His greatness knows no bounds.
But for me, Master Mons first apostle, this was nothing but a trifling matter.
My serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, neurotransmitters that activated the brain, jumped into action.
My muscles howled in pain, but my adrenaline and endorphins suppressed it.
Of course, there was no need to be so zealous.
However, the Sword Princesss counterattack exceeded my expectations.
Hence, from here on out, our battle would be fair and would put our pride as followers of Mon on the line!
The veins in my temples bulged, and the muscles on my limbs became far more robust and rounded.
Moving faster than the charging Sword Princess, I parried her blow then kicked her bare belly with all I had.
BOOM!
Sent flying to the side, the Sword Princess rolled across the arena.
However, she was able to stick her sword into the ground, stopping her from skidding further.
Kha-kha!
You ceaselessly amaze me.
She didnt approach her situation from a scientific perspective as I did. Rather, she took control over her autonomic nervous system by maximizing the usage of her strong willpower.
Could it be called self-hypnosis?
I saw firsthand how the inhabitants of the Northern Continent evolved, who came to believe in Master Mon.
This was really impressive!
Kh! Sir Parpar, you are indeed very powerful and beautiful in your own way. My heart raced every time I watched you suppress your opponents with a deep, bottomless gaze and a murderous smile. However, I have a reason not to ept defeat.
Reason?
She didnt want to lose so desperately, as if someone had already taken over her heart.
The Sword Princesss condition had be deplorable after suffering greatly from my blow, though.
? Race: Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Knight (Devotion Fortitude )
? Skills: Sword Aura ZZ, Fortitude ZZ, Charm Z, Willpower Z, Gifted MAX
? Status: Dislocation, Fracture, Overworked, Excited, Determined
The Sword Princess was rumored to be level 500, but she was actually a transcendental person who had surpassed level 999.
That was why the men that challenged her after hearing those rumors had no chance of winning.
Naturally, if her soul were divided among the education courses, she would no longer be as strong.
Regardless, she was nowhere near my league.
The Sword Princess, whose spine broke upon being hit by just one blow from me, could now only stand on her feet thanks to her sword, which she now used as a cane.
Krak Brrrr!
The sounds of bones cracking and crunching echoed.
After a short while, she pulled the Magic Sword Eyer from the ground and straightened her back.
Fracture and Dislocation disappeared from her stats.
She, on her own, healed her herniated disc, countering my signature technique that had never let me down for the past 200 years.
I apologize, Sir Parpar.
Hmm?
Our fight should be fair and conducted with swords, but I used the power of Mons Teachings that I had sealed to try to defeat you.
Is that so?
I thought Master Mons teachings were an all-epassing art
The Sword Princess raised her weapon above her head.
From now on, I shall fight you as a Mon pdin, not as the Sword Princess. I may seem to you like a spoileddy trying to avoid marriage, but my heart already belongs to another man.
And your body?
I was really curious.
The Sword Princesss face flushed.
Mon Fencing, 4th Form: Monscalibur!
WZZZZZZZHHH!
Light enveloped Eyers de and shot high into the sky.
That power went beyond the Sword Princesss abilities.
Even I wouldnt like to get hit by it.
I decided to use a trick of mine as well.
Water Spirit King.
Pop!
The Water Spirit King, who had been rubbing his cheek against my left armpit all day, immediately slipped between the Sword Princesss legs.
Holding Magic Sword Eyer above her head with both hands, she couldnt prevent his invasion.
Aaaahhhnnn~!
The oue was amazing!
Chapter 311 - [21st Round] We Really Share the Same Looks!
Chapter 311 - [21st Round] We Really Share the Same Looks!
Not a good time to roll your eyes.
Oh!
I brought the Sword Princess back to her senses, knowing full well she wouldnt have time to react.
My left hand wrapped around her waist between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, and my right hand lifted the tip of her chin.
And our lips closed.
Mmm.
Hmm?!
FSSS!
Once her concentration was disrupted, the huge beam of light emanating from her sword, ready to destroy the entire arena, disappeared.
This show was over.
The audience was swallowed byplete silence.
Because their invincible Sword Princess finally tasted the bitter taste of defeat.
It was just the same as the 1st round.
Only the final touch remained. I used the technique of the MAX-ss Righteous Hero with 200 years of experience: the death kiss.
Of course, I wouldnt kill her, but I sucked all the energy out of her to make sure she wouldnt be able to resist any longer.
Mmm.
Hmm Wait a second
What?
I recognize this technique
I didnt answer. Rather I just showed her my Righteous Heros smile.
CLANG!
The Sword Princess dropped Eyer to the ground and wrapped her arms around my neck.
This time, she clung to my lips.
Give us a suitable atmosphere, Soul Spirit King.
Wow!
Parpar is the best!
Long live the Sword King!
Be happy together!
Whoohoooooo!
We, the Righteous Sword King and the Cruel Sword Princess, ended our grand duel to the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.
? Delight: Its really touching.
Romancing her was easy, Trainee Teacher!
***
The Sword Princesss behavior was very strange.
In the 1st round, she was a crazy bitch who almost killed me for identally seeing her naked. Now, however, she was behaving so aggressively that she could be suspected of being addicted to exhibitionism.
Moreover, the Sword Princess insisted that we skip the engagement ceremony, amon practice among the nobility, and get married as soon as possible.
I didnt mind.
After all, I didnt n on staying here for long.
And there was more.
Sir Parpar, could you take off this strange ring?
No.
The Sword Princess didnt like the ring on my 21st finger.
Even though she wanted to conceive a second child, I refused to leave behind another wed soul in this wild world.
Every hero needed to remember to be responsible.
I do not recognize this strange man, mom!
Chris couldnte to terms with my sudden appearance in his life.
He was known to the locals as the younger brother of the Sword Princess, the illegitimate son of Duke Q.
And he was his heir.
The Sword Princess was supposed to be the one to inherit his estate, but the situation changed when she gave birth to a son early.
He grew up to be a wonderful youth.
And since some people were unhappy that Duke Qs territory would be passed down into the hands of a woman, he decided to make my son his sessor instead. The Sword Princess didnt mind at all anyway.
At first, there were even exmations of discontent that he was an illegitimate child, but Duke Q quickly resolved this problem, calming everyone down.
Chris, stop shouting and listen to me.
No. I refuse to hear another word about this!
Chris!
It hurts me to look at him. Dont you love me?
Please listen.
And where is your submissive toneing from? Oh! Showing off in front of your new man, huh?
One more word on this topic, and I will kill you.
Thats more like you.
The two quarreled.
They had already reached the point where even outside interference wouldnt help.
However, the Sword Princess was still an adult.
She calmly reassured her son.
Chris, listen carefully.
Hes your real father.
Youre lying! This guy doesnt look like me at all! My father? Just tell me that you like him more than me!
Have I ever lied to you?
Yes!
For example?
You said my father was the sweetest emperor in the world. How am I supposed to believe this now?
Thats actually true. In my dream, the one I saw was the sweetest and worthiest person in the world to be an emperor. All the inhabitants of the Northern Continent also believed
Enough! Ive heard that story a bunch of times already!
Oh, he was at that transitional age, huh?
Chris refused to listen to his mother, no matter what she said. Their conversation was going nowhere.
I just watched them silently.
I didnt think my intervention would resolve the situation.
This was not the first time I had witnessed my sons rebellious nature.
When I set out to conquer the Northern Continent, I saw a young man on the side of the troops of the united Northern Continent.
I knew by his spine alone that he was my child.
? Embarrassment: I think Ive asked you this question before but is it really possible to deduce that through ones spine?
Of course, Trainee Teacher!
That aside
Under the strict supervision of my mothers tennis racket, I grew up to be a decent son.
On the other hand, the Sword Princess seemed to have failed to discipline our kid during his earlier growth stages. However, I dared not me her.
I was never there for him as his father.
I had no right to say anything.
And yet
Noisy young man. Why dont we put an end to this issue instead of constantly running your mouth? Or is your strong spine just for decoration? Fight me. If you win, Ill call off our marriage.
Are you serious?
Id gain nothing from lying. Did you really think a weakling can be your father? Feel free to kill me and tell everyone that I died in an ident if you so desire. If you can, that is.
Th-that sounds too cruel Chris flinched as he stared at me with a confused expression on his face.
But he knew I wasnt lying.
He was young and naive, yes, but he was not stupid.
So? Do you agree?
Alright. Im in.
Good. Ill give you until the wedding. Challenge me anytime.
Then lets have a go at it right now!
That was within my expectations.
My son inherited the Sword Princesss impatient personality.
? Doubt: I dont think thats the case
Really? Well, if the intelligent Trainee Teacher says so
Duke Q and the environment influenced him, then.
? Confusion: Oh Sure. Lets go with that.
Chris and I stood facing each other in the center of a special training center built specifically for the Sword Princess.
A fight between a 220-year-old and a 15-year-old.
If my son were the main character of mangas or novels, he wouldve ovee that gap in experience, allowing him to win, but his reality was far too cruel.
Ill let you go first.
Youll regret that.
You talk a lot.
I hid my true power to surprise my mother, but to defeat you, I am ready to unleash it now!
Knock yourself out.
I was curious.
What was the power he was hiding from the Sword Princess?
When I first saw him, he didnt show anything like that.
FSHUKH!
Preparing to fight his father, Chris bared his torso.
Was he doing a striptease?
I doubted it.
KRRRR!
A pair of bony wings grew from the boys back.
Pale pink membranes stretched between the bones that formed the structure of his new appendages, though they resembled a spine and werepletely exposed.
There were no sharp thorns that punished all evil on the tips of his bones, but still
This is definitely
There is a legend that originates on the Northern Continent 2,000 years ago. The Hero, the first apostle of the great Master Mon, was its MAX-ss Forerunner. (Omitted) By distributing flush toilets for the benefit of humanity, he finally defeated the Demon Lord Pedonar. However, the Demon Lord cursed the Hero, turning him into the Second Demon Lord and changing his name to Parmamon. He had no demon horns. However, his terrifying wings protruding from his back made even demons tremble in fear. With one p of his wings, he swept away dragons, brought the Giant King of the Southern Continent to his knees, and nearly destroyed the Eastern Continent. (Omitted) They feared and trembled before The Demon Lords dreaded wings. Those who survived that waking nightmare mustve had their Luck skills rank soaring to the skies.
Ha
Some parts of the story were different from what actually happened, making me wonder who the author or the bard that spread this legend was.
If I met him, I would like to gently touch his spine.
Thats why you cant be my father. I am the descendant of the Demon Lord Parmamon, who appeared in my mothers dream. I am a symbol of misfortune, born and trampled upon the future of a girl who dreamed of marrying a prince on a white horse. You are deceiving my mother by calling yourself my father, so I can never ept you!
Chris! I have never considered myself unhappy! And the princes are ugly idiots that do nothing but try to suck up to me whatever means possible
Dont lie! The princes who offered you a hand and a heart were some of the most handsome men on the Northern Continent!
Those pompous turkeys are not my type. Sir Parpar, on the other hand Mmm.
Mom! Wake up!
Im perfectly fine, but Im surprised you kept such a secret from me.
Well Tsk! Anyway!
My son Chris turned to me after the Sword Princess defeated him in an argument.
Looking at him, I even felt pride.
? Race: Dual-Core Chaos Man
? Level: 249
? Job: Prince (National Power = Willpower )
? Skills: Divinity ZZ, Dark Energy ZZ, Z, Gifted Z, Omnipotence MAX
? Status: Activation, Demon Blood, Divine Blood
He had excellent stats, which meant he inherited the MAX-ss Lovable Emperors genes.
I didnt think he would inherit even the ck Box, though.
With such abilities and talent, he would be able to surpass me in 5,000 years.
It was scary.
My son, at 15, achieved what I achieved at 50.
? Denial: I dont think so. He only followed the path that cadet Kang Han Soo paved. Im not turning a blind eye to Chriss efforts, but the day hell overtake you will nevere. If Im wrong, Im ready to go on a date with you and console you~
Oh, son! Pull yourself together! Do your best to be stronger than your father, even if that meanspletely wearing out your spine and grinding it to dust!
? Admiration: Haha! That being said, Im actually pretty surprised. I thought you were joking about the simrity of your spines, but the moment I looked at his wings, I just knew you two were rted.
Thats what Ive been telling you, Trainee Teacher!
However, I did not know that he would inherit the wings of a just Hero.
? Interest: Are you going to show him your wings now and say, I am your father.?
Beautiful Trainee Teacher seems to have seen too many dramas like my cowardly wife!
I wasnt going to show him my wings to make sure hed fight in full force, driven by the thought of saving his mother from a random rogue.
It was time to start raising my son.
What wonderful wings.
These are the wings of the cursed Demon Lord.
Appreciate the power you inherited from your parents even if it is useless baldness. Honor them the best you can.
Lets just begin.
Unable to oppose my logic, Chris rushed forward sharply.
Fshuh!
He even sped up using his wings.
His efforts were all in vain, however, considering I had the spirits on my side. Air resistance would slow him down.
Or so I thought. At that moment, the First Spirit said something strange and surprising. My children cant decide who to help, Drug Hero!
Hmm?
It seemed that he even inherited my hormones, which were so attractive to spirits.
I was proud of my son, who had the same spine as I did, but he was beginning to seem more like an identity thief.
The time hade to demonstrate the strength of his father.
This wasnt a sword fight, so I didnt need a weapon.
My right hand was enough.
He copied me, but he didnt have enough experience.
After absorbing the heroes souls at my infernal seniors house, mybat experience grew so much that it became worth hundreds of thousands of years.
That was a fundamental difference between us.
Youre too arrogant.
Ah?!
Thats probably because you havent met a master who cant be defeated yet, no matter how hard you try. Its time to show you
The ravine that divided our leagues.
Our battle ended in no time.
I didnt even have to use my strength. I did a pirouette like a ballerina, grabbing Chris by his wings and tossing him to the ground.
Pha?!
He had no idea how to use them.
For him, it only strengthened his skills.
But our wings were an absolute weapon, especially against punishing evil.
Of course, knowing how to use them wouldnt have changed the oue. For me, the messenger of justice, they posed no threat.
Bang!
With my elbow, I hit the joint where his wings and spine connected, ending his struggle.
Youre too inexperienced.
Im not done yet Khhh?!
Trying to get up, he screamed and fell again.
I watched him in silence.
However, he couldnt rebuild his spine on his own as the Sword Princess did.
Before arguing who your father is, learn first from your mother.
Ah, my loins
Youck faith. You wouldnt have lost so quickly otherwise. All you do is suckle on your mothers breasts Its time I put a stop to it. Leave her boobs to me and focus on praying earnestly to Mon.
Stop joking around Aaaghhh?!
I had finished disciplining and educating my son.
I walked out of the training center, hugging the Sword Princess around her waist.
It was a sunny bright day in the yard, but this wasnt an obstacle for the MAX-ss Demon Lord, who ruled the darkness.
When I snapped my fingers, the world was plunged into darkness, almost as if a sr eclipse urred.
Now that the world could no longer see me, I unfurled my wings with pride.
Fshuh!
The wings of the righteous hero.
I soared into the skies, still holding the Sword Princess in my arms.
Your wings are the ones the legends speak of
I supposed youre delighted to meet the sweetest emperor in Fantasy again, Sword Princess?
Do I have to say it out loud?
It was a rhetorical question.
Chapter 312 - [21st Round] The Tower of Sage?
Chapter 312 - [21st Round] The Tower of Sage?
? Question: Are you sure you want to leave them like this?
Its alright, Trainee Teacher!
I had spent enough time with the Sword Princess.
Her influence on the Northern Continent was strong, which meant shed be fine. I also taught my son a lesson that would make him even stronger within a year.
How did it go, cowardly hubby?
I dont understand what you mean.
Two days after the grand wedding, I quietly escaped at dawn and reunited with Ssosia, waiting for me outside the estate.
Stop fooling around. You know what I mean.
Better yet, why dont you tell me about Lanuvel.
I couldnt find her. But the Hero-Summoning Magic Circle was definitely activated. I have a feeling that wont be thest time, too. So, hows the Sword Princess?
Shes in good health.
She had a very strong spine and excellent regenerative abilities.
Whats with that answer?
Im just telling you how it is. Shes the first-ever to heal from a herniated disc instantly.
Hmph! If you dont want to talk about it, then dont
Do you want to hear that your pelvis is more beautiful?
What?! Dont make me sound like a lustful, love-hungry demon!
Heh~
She denied it, but my cowardly wifes sullen expression betrayed her.
Tsk
Tell me openly that you couldnt find your ce because of jealousy.
Where did that stupid assumptione from?! I am not at all offended by my husband who conceived a child with someone else then returned to her for marriage!
Ugh. Being popr is so difficult.
Do not tter yourself!
We moved swiftly while talking to each other.
The First Spirit, who had beenzing around on my head all day and sniffing at me, asked a good question for the first time in a long time.
Where are you going, Drug Hero?
To the Tower of Sage.
We went to the Magic Kingdoms city where Sage, the strongest wizard of the 4th curriculum, lived.
When we entered the 5th curriculum, Connoisseur Shakespeare took his throne, but that didnt mean Sage was weak enough to be ignored.
Moreover, this was the Northern Continent, an area in which he had great influence.
There were other reasons as well.
Like?
Have you finally calmed down? Agh!
Stop teasing me unless you want me to tell your mother that shes got another daughter-inw. Just remember that Ive already created my own messenger ount.
Thats too cruel!
My cowardly wife not only poked my side but also decided to ckmail me. Even for a demon, she was stooping too low!
I just need to take a photo of her so I can provide evidence.
I apologize!
Hey, hubby Im notining, but didnt you give up too quickly?
Its because Im a good son.
And totally not because moms tennis racket scared me.
I think Ive said this before, but your stories make it sound like your mom can split the universe in half with her tennis racket.
Youve read too many novels, Ssosia.
My mother was an ordinary housewife who had her apron taken away from her by my father even though she was a great cook.
She didnt have the ability to tear apart the universe.
She couldnt even cut carrots on a cutting board, let alone the universe.
By the way, hubby, why did you decide to meet Sage? As with the Sword Princess, do you want to reveal your true identity and ask for cooperation?
What?
How do you know that, Ssosia?
I dont know what youre talking about!
My cowardly wife was immediately embarrassed.
All the evidence pointed to her guilt, but herpassionate MAX-ss husband decided to turn a blind eye to this.
For as long as she didnt tell my mother anything, that is.
The reason for meeting him is simple. The Hero-Summoning Magic Circle requires many rare catalysts. When I was looking for ways to get home during my first round, I realized how rare and valuable those objects are. Therefore, if we assume that Lanuvel created this circle in the usual way, then Sage most likely helped her in this.
I get that, but will he even be honest? He can just falsify the ledger.
Since when did you be so smart?
This is nothing for the Heros ideal wife, even though I didnt even have a grandiose and important wedding ceremony.
It seemed like she was obsessed with this a lot.
I thought she should just focus on being happy since I found her pelvis the perfect one out there for me instead of thinking about such a burdensome ritual like a wedding, but my wife, like the nobles, seemed to suffer from vanity.
How should I calm her down?
At that moment, a flying stingray caught my eye.
Se-e-e-ex?
Exactly! That was the answer!
I gave you an expensive foreign car, cowardly wife.
I am indeed a sessful woman who received a space horse from her husband! There is no need to rush the wedding ceremony. We have to make it grand, after all!
Yes, yes
Although she hadnt shaken off her strange obsession with the wedding, she still seemed to be satisfied and couldnt get over the horse yet.
***
Every time trends changed, so did a thriving industry.
A city and provinces economic rise and fall depended on which industry they specialized in.
Agriculture, tourism, industry, information services, gambling, leisure, fishing, trade
However, in any industry, the one who took the leading position would have the power to survive any crisis.
This rule also applied to the Fantasy World.
This run-down town is the Tower of Sage?
Run-down or not, this is definitely it, my hubby who gave me a spare horse.
Se-ee-e-ex!
The Tower of Sage I knew was the jewel of Fantasy.
Now, however, it was more like a manor house with a pagoda that could be found anywhere on the Northern Continent.
Its worth investigating
Stop before your hand slips off again, hubby.
Why should I?
Your wife shall interview the locals herself with her space horse, which is a sign of sess for women.
Okay.
I decided to trust Ssosia, who for some reason emphasized being a sessful woman.
At least she wouldnt run around and agree to the locals every request, which mypanions did in my first round, ultimately making my life much more difficult.
But I was still interested to see what Ssosia would do.
She wagged her pelvis.
At that moment, the First Spirit spoke up.
Although my niece looks pathetic, please do your best to understand her, Drug Hero. Shes always been jealous of her friend, who achieved sess much earlier than others.
Which friend?
Im not sure, but shes probably the one who gave my niece her slime.
I see
It was hard for me to imagine.
Who was this person who was able to assign Master Mon to Ssosia as her mentor?
Whoever she was, she was apparently a very sessful friend.
I beg your pardon, but can I ask you a question?
Hmm? Oh, a goddess
If you stare at me so openly, my husband, a jealous-type, might break your spine.
Ahem!
So, can I ask you a question?
Sure. The opportunity tomunicate with such beauty is a great honor and joy for me. You are the second most beautiful woman I have ever met. Ask me anything!
Thank you. Now, then
Ssosia, who hid her horns and changed her skin color to be human-like, caught a random passer-by on the street and started asking him about various matters.
Name of this ce, feudal lord, job, history
Eavesdropping, I realized that my guess was correct.
Sages Tower had lost its position at the top.
Worried about his spine, the random passer-by said something interesting.
Madam, havent you heard the saying, Magic in the west, Mon in the North, which has be poprtely?
In the 4th curriculum, the Northern Continent was considered the home of magic.
And the Tower of Sage was considered the most advanced city in terms of magic on the Northern Continent.
However, it was just an ordinary rural town now, which such beauties like Ssosia would never visit.
By your standards, there are no cities in the world of Fantasy that you would not consider rural, Drug Hero.
Of course, Addicted Spirit. The only exception is the capital of the Eternal Night Empire on the Western Continent.
Shakespeares wife was definitely a beautiful woman, but not as beautiful as Ssosia.
However, she had the potential to be the first and most beautiful woman, while the curse of being second forever bound Ssosia.
Are you insulting me in your thoughts again, cowardly hubby?
No.
Tsk. Ill let it go! Let me summarize the information Ive gathered. History has changed since one of the Five Great Disasters, the Phantom King, became the Connoisseur.
I already know that.
The Northern Continent was famous for the fact that many people were born here predisposed to magic, which is why this ces magic industry used to be so advanced The current birth rate didnt change, but this ce is experiencing a decline since all of its wizards keep leaving for the Western Continent once they have raised enough money for training.
Instead, religion came to the forefront.
Right. The main religion of the Northern Continent is Mons Teachings, which my husband preaches. As it turns out, I raised God.
Mon~
Master Mon, sitting in Ssosias arms, swayed happily from side to side.
So Sage also went to study abroad?
Well
Come on, out with it. It doesnt really matter anyway.
Sage fell morally. We can put it that way.
As I said, nothing special Wait. Fell morally? Sage?
Yes.
I couldnt believe it.
Sage, a man so innocent that his nose bled whenever he saw womens underwear, had be a scoundrel?
How was this possible?
Ssosias tone sounded bitter.
Thats what always being second can do.
***
If someone who thought they were the best were to be suddenly overshadowed by a person even better than them and consequently lost everyones support due to the fact, they would be left with two options.
They would either try their best to regain the leading position orpromise the opponent to look better against them.
And if one was impatient, they could do both at the same time.
Sage! The girl I was supposed to meet today is missing!
Please help, Sage! My sister is missing!
I havent seen my daughter since yesterday! Please find her, Sage!
In the 4th curriculum, the entire city was called the Tower of Sage, but now only the tower in the citys center bore that name.
That served as evidence that Sages social status fell significantly, but this didnt mean he was forgotten.
He was still in second ce, after all.
He appeared in response to theints of the townspeople.
During the 4th curriculum, he would rarely leave the tower whenever someone called him. Now, he would almost jump down from it.
He still looked like an innocent youth, but
The disappearance of young women in the city has continued sincest year. It must be the work of the Western Continents Shakespeare, the evil wizard! Rumor has it that he is sacrificing young and beautiful women to Demon Lord Parmamon!
Even now, both of his nostrils were plugged with scraps of paper.
That aside, what he said sounded funny.
Physically speaking, Shakespeare could never kidnap women from such a distant country and somehow donate them to me. There was no point in it in the first ce.
Such lies
Sage was still far from my Fabrication and Incitements ranks.
borate on the instructions you gave Shakespeare through the monphone, cowardly hubby.
Why should I do such nonsense, Ssosia?
Because you are Kang Han Soo.
Is that logic from some parallel universe?
Hmph!
My wife seemed determined to just piss me off, unlike the silly Fantasy dwellers.
Is this the handiwork of Shakespeare?
Thats it! That envious married man is to me for everything!
Only Sage should be trusted!
Connoisseur Shakespear now lived with the most beautiful woman on the Western Continent. What made it better was that she never grew old and could only drink her husbands blood.
But he sparked a flurry of anger in a rural town on the Northern Continent.
It was an iprehensible phenomenon.
If such despicable agitation and lies flourished on the Northern Continent while the Connoisseur and I were doing our research, we definitely wouldve noticed it.
Then the reason why this could happen was
Bug.
Husband.
Ssosia and I expressed our opinions at the same time. However, our opinions did not coincide.
I really had nothing to do with it!
Chapter 313 - [21st Round] What a meeting!
Chapter 313 - [21st Round] What a meeting!
What should I do with him
Sage was easy to deal with.
I could just cross him out of the 5th curriculum forever.
However, it wouldnt provide the best results.
This wasnt my adventure, after all. I was just trying to help my junior colleagues.
It shouldnt be forgotten that Sage was one of the Herospanions.
To please Monsoft, I had to create an educational environment where the heroes could learn about love and friendship while effectively increasing theirbat power.
So far, everything had been going well.
Is this really okay, hubby? You crossed out the Sword Princess wedding event from the curriculum, even though there were no problems with it before.
Dont worry about it. Ive taken everything into consideration.
We were now faced with a serious problem.
If the Hero believed Sages words and engaged in a battle with the Connoisseur, their journey would end on the same day.
Shakespeare was different from my father-inw.
He didnt send his subordinates, the power of which always equaled the heroes, to battle. Rather, he moved to the frontlines himself.
And that wouldnt be where their worries ended.
From a satellite located in space, a beam could easily destroy the heroes, instantly killing them.
There would be no hopes or dreams for them.
Yes, this is really serious, hubby. But I assume youve already found a solution?
Naturally.
The 5th curriculumcked enemies (textbooks) that the Hero (student) had to ovee.
The Five Great Disasters had disappeared from the curriculum.
The former Ice Dragon who ate the Snow Woman even disappearedpletely from the Northern Continent.
Hence, we needed a new enemy who would stand in the way of the Hero.
Fallen Sage.
He was unable to marry and lost the opportunity to be an archmage, eventually losing his mind and bing the Cursed Mage.
Thats overkill.
I am the MAX-ss Hero.
Here in Fantasy, no one could rival my Fabrication and Incitement.
I prevented wars and arranged political marriages while mypanions did nothing but kill.
Political marriages? What if the woman is unhappy?
Thats never been the case.
If anyone looked at my 2nd round, theyd understand that I had never arranged marriages that would make the couple unhappy.
The harmony of Yin and Yang was very important.
I didnt want anyone else to suffer from a problematic marriage like mine.
Problematic? How so?
Even when I tell my wife she has the most beautiful pelvis, she never believes me. Shes got the MAX-ss Righteous Hero as her husband, whom she doesnt deserve, but the cowardly demoness never ceases to be unhappy anyway.
Thats a lie.
You refuse to believe me again.
Ill always be second. This is the fate prepared for me by the universe. My husband definitely has a woman he loves more than me.
Ssosias logic was understandable.
She was the Second Demon.
Shed always be second, so she didnt believe me.
But I had something to oppose her reasoning.
How can you be jealous of your mother-inw, Ssosia?
Thats horrible! Disgusting niece! How can you be jealous like this?
Honestly and impartially assessing the situation, even the First Spirit did not take her nieces side,
Ssosia was surprised.
Mother-inw?!
My mother is also a woman.
My wife couldnt refute the perfect counterargument of her MAX-ss husband.
Do you still have something to say?
Ahem. I guess I was wrong. Since Im cursed to always be second, Ive always been pessimistic about ranks. I understand now, though. Despite having already heard from you, my husband, about your mother, I still regarded you with suspicion. Looking back, I understand that it was really stupid, The cowardly demoness eximed, looking at me with twinkles in her eyes.
She even went on the offensive, pulling her MAX-ss husbands right arm up to her pubic bone.
What are you doing?
For the first time since birth, I feel like Im first.
Okay, just dont bother. I cant concentrate on my work.
Is it difficult to concentrate when your beloved wife is nearby?
If maternal love were pushed aside, naturally, Ssosia would be the first.
She was second, but still first.
Her eyes showed madness beyond obsession.
This is already serious
Perhaps I shouldnt have said anything.
You must be upset because your work wont allow you to give me the attention I deserve. You love me too much, after all, my hubby. Thats why for your sake, I shall use Fabrication and Incitement myself! Oh! No need to thank me! For the first wife, such housework is childs y!
Okay.
It would be difficult to calm Ssosia in her current state.
The First Spirit sympathized with me. My niece being sweet scares me, Drug Hero!
Well Lets see what shell do.
I was curious.
As the first wife, she decided to use Fabrication and Incitement herself.
***
Gods messenger descended upon us!
Creator God of Fantasy!
Ah! Its a miracle!
My God, is this not a dream?
As I expected, the cowardly wife had very sneaky tactics.
Using another personality, the Creator God of Fantasy, she sent a message to all the temples at the Northern Continent.
What was its content?
Sage has gone mad!
Sage is a swindler!
We need to drive out Sage!
Ssosia didnt present any clear evidence or witnesses before the idiotic Fantasy inhabitants, but her title was abovew and logic.
What better proof could they desire than the words of God?
With direct Fabrication and Incitement, she destroyed Sages reputation.
But since Mons Teachings was the popr religion on the Northern Continent, the effects of her actions were weak.
All nations would have rushed to kill Sage already otherwise.
However, he was at least put in a situation where he couldnt fix or do anything.
Whats going on here?!
Locking the entrance to the tower and strengthening its walls, he fell into confusion.
I couldnt me him.
Creator God Fantasy, who had no reason to be angry with him, suddenly pointed at him and said, Hes a scoundrel!
Thus, raising his karma to SSS rank.
If Sage knew the reason behind it, he wouldve been even more shocked.
You can now spend time with me, hubby.
Hmm. Fine, we can have fun just for today.
Yeees! Lets go! Your beloved wife will indulge you all day!
Arent you being too submissive?
Im in the first ce! Nothing else matters!
I felt bad for Sage, a bachelor, but I had a good day today since my wife followed my every order.
I should skip the details.
? Delight: Councilor Ssosia is amazing. No matter how hard the man I loved asks me to do what she just did, Id never be able to do it out of sheer embarrassment. What I saw is beyond imagination
Did you see it? The power of love is very dangerous, Trainee Teacher!
While I frolicked with my wife, Sage trapped himself in his tower.
But it wasnt over yet.
We didnt find the girls that Shakespeare allegedly kidnapped.
They were not in the tower.
Because when Sosia and I entered it, there were only empty prison cells and ropes on the floor.
And the security system was weak.
Ssosia.
Alright.
Ssosia, having read my mind, waved her magic wand.
BRRRRRRR!
Sages squalid tower was reconstructed in no time, turning it into a dungeon.
Sage is ideal for the role of a lustful sex maniac, considering his nose bleeds at the sight of alluring women.
He was once appointed as one of thepanions, which was amazing.
But now, I felt like he got the role that was originally intended for him.
The Sages Tower dungeon would start epting stupid heroes next year.
If we can find an aplice who kidnaps women, our problem will finally be solved, Ssosia added.
It wont take long. Its time for the local spirits to investigate!
Pop! Pop!
Spirits lived everywhere.
There were more of them than there were surveince cameras in modern cities.
However, their knowledge was sketchy.
Just as we didnt care about the lives of insects in our apartments, spirits took no interest in the lives of humans.
However, through theirbined efforts, they would be able to gather enough information.
They just needed motivation.
If you want to see the 2nd episode of your nieces secret entertainment, Addicted Spirit, you better start gathering useful information.
Paid subscription for innocent spirits?! This is too much!
The First Spirit seemed outraged.
How can you spy on your nieces private life, auntie? Ssosia immediately eximed.
My niece! Spirits are naive and do not know what that is! You were amazing yesterday, though! The way you arched Hmm?!
Dont remind me!
While my red-faced wife covered her aunts mouth with her hand, the innocent spirits gathered information.
Soon enough, their efforts results came flooding in.
Spirits are really naive.
How could the First Spirit expect the 2nd episode if my cowardly wife didnt like it?
I never said I didnt like it!
Heeheehee!
Stopughing, auntie!
Im just in a good mood, my secretive niece!
Oh
I immediately went to the ce the spirits told me about.
Our aplice was at the general store near the Tower of Sage.
Many reports from the spirits indicated that a female human kidnapped girls from the city and took them there.
We would soon find out who she was.
I opened the door of the general store and entered it slowly.
Sorry.
There was noise in the street with the townspeople and soldiers surrounding Sages Tower, but it was quiet in this one-stop-shop that could be found anywhere in the world of Fantasy.
They bought goods at a low price and sold them at a higher price.
Items that might be considered garbage by some might be someone elses treasure.
A customer? How may I help you Huh?!
Laying out her products on the disy case, the shop owner immediately froze in ce when she turned her head to look at me.
This is our first meeting, charmingdy, but did you recognize me right away?
N-no I have no idea what youre talking about, sir.
FSKH!
The pretentious youngdy ran away with incredible speed.
Bam!
However, she soon crashed into an invisible wall and copsed on the floor.
Give it up.
What the hell The shopkeeper became furious, though she calmed down as soon as she saw my Righteous Heros smile.
Ssosia came in next.
Ah! You
Even my cowardly wife recognized her.
The shopkeepers face turned white.
Today was our first meeting.
That was for sure.
However, this wasnt the first time thisdy and I had spoken.
What are you doing here?
The representative of the harem who threw the First Heros brooch in the trash can Or should I call you a member of the faculty?
Eeeek?!
Our future aplice, who instigated Sage tomit this crime, wasnt a bug or Lanuvel.
My instincts had already allowed me to deduce her real identity.
Nice to meet you, Teacher Morals!
She taught ethics and morality to inexperienced Heroes wandering in the world of Fantasy.
Our meeting ddened me so much that I was at a loss of what to do.
Are you sure you want to turn this meeting into a farewell this fast, hubby?
What? Oh! Im sorry, Teacher Morals.
I put her 4th lumbar vertebra back in ce.
Theres one more
What do you mean, Ssosia? Are you suspecting me of something bad again?
Look at your left hand.
Ah, her 5th vertebra. This is a gift from my favorite teacher. You can even ask her yourself.
Shes passed out.
She just decided to sleep since shes tired. If you want to keep your title as my most beloved wife, you have to look at the world with a little more optimism.
Is that so?
Yes.
Being the first wife is difficult, but I can handle this!
My wifes euphoric state would probablyst for quite some time.
Chapter 314 - [21st Round] Consultation fee
Chapter 314 - [21st Round] Consultation fee
As soon as Teacher Morals opened her eyes, she realized she had been rendered immobile by spinal problems. Hence, she immediately started lecturing me.
How long had it been
Listen carefully, student Kang Han Soo. They say there is no happiness infort, for it is brought forth by suffering.
Oh! Then you will be very happy!
Having herniated discs would teach her that true pain could prate even her very bones.
Our rtionship began to deteriorate from the 2nd round when she first made contact with me.
If I had just finished my studies, we could have parted on a good note.
It had been 200 years now.
And that was surmountable to the colossal duration of 20 years on Earth!
The director was the one that had to be med the most for what happened to me, but Teacher Morals still contributed to it since she didnt teach properly.
Student Kang Han Soo just couldnt cope with the curriculum.
Maybe.
However, if one called themselves a teacher, they should know how to teach even the studentsgging behind.
A-rank Hero Sieg, introduced to me by Teacher Morals to learn the right course of action from him, was now forever stuck in primary education.
In other words, before judging a students ability to learn, it was worth first looking at whether the teacher was really up for the job.
That is also your fault!
How so?
Your ss activity was to imitate student Sieg, but you influenced him badly instead.
Thats make-belief, and you know it.
Teacher Morals insisted that I somehow influenced Sieg, but we had little inmon.
He loved elves so much that he betrayed his people.
What aboutbat power?
Even after I got married, I still constantly developed. On the contrary, developing only Male Strength, he became a punching bag after marrying Sylvia.
And we had a different approach to our journey as heroes.
I didnt waste precious time trying to save one or two locals, which was the exact opposite of his actions.
Need more exnation?
You made a punching bag out of him. Its okay to love elves. His journey didnt go as nned, and thats why he betrayed humanity.
If I gave up because my journey didnt go as nned, I wouldve given up thousands of times during my first round.
Not certainly in that way.
What?
You should have surrendered right away.
Oh?
Advising you to end your life when you were unaware of the concept of regression wouldve been weird, but your 1st round was terrible. You should have abandoned the path of the Hero and lived a normal life Kya-kh?!
God! Dont twitch.
She had a misaligned 5th vertebra in her lumbar spine, disabling her from supporting her upper body.
Youre the one who grabbed me!
I dont want to leave such a good teacher with amazing logic lying on the floor.
Teacher Morals, now seated on a chair, sweated profusely.
The problem is that you defeated the Demon Lord by choosing the most difficult path and discarding everything you were taught. You cannot issue a diploma to a student who has 0 points. The Fantasy Institution is not a ce to educate elite soldiers to defeat the Demon Lord. Here, we guide students towards the right path, working not only on their strengths but also on their personalities.
I remember how you ran away all the time, telling me you have a lot to do, but your stream of words cant seem to be stopped at all today.
Strength and personality, huh? Strength is rtive, and personality is absolute. However, when ites to evaluations, strength is objective, and personality is subjective. You ran away every time and lost touch with your student.
Someday I would tell others about my 1st round.
Many times, like parrots, the locals, frightened by the cruelty and strength of the Heros Party, said only one phrase, Thank you so much for your help!
And the Herospanions, drunk withcency, never looked back. They were not interested in the further fate of the countries, cities, and people they supposedly saved.
They seemed to think that once they had saved them, they would forever live in bliss.
They carried such terrible ignorance and blind faith that surpassed even fanaticism.
What the hell do you even know, student Kang Han Soo?! Professor Moral eximed.
Surprise me.
Ha! You said that you have too little time to save the locals yourself. However, the average student does a lot of good deeds. Defeating bandits, punishing loan sharks, preventing political marriages, eliminating ve traders, and reforming countries.
The bandits may have reasons why they havee to such a life, the usurers have families to feed, and a political marriage can save an entire country. ve traders? First, you need to check thews of each country to determine if it is a crime for them. Heroes shouldnt even be reforming countries. Those in this profession should carefully listen to the opinions of experts and the masses, assess the situation from different points of view, and only then begin to act. They shouldnt rush headstrong with only the power of friendship in mind.
We looked at each other for a long time, without saying a word.
The first to open her mouth was Teacher Morals.
I am a teacher.
And?
I always try to understand whats on my students minds.
Go on.
But I cant understand student Kang Han Soo at all.
Not even a little?
Yes. The Hero cannot provide perfect assistance to all the locals. If they do what I mentioned, the adventure will drag on so long theyll gain no progress, rendering them unable to defeat the Demon Lord.
Hahaha!
Whats so funny?
I did not expect this, but you think like me.
I I think like you? That is a very unpleasant remark
Why unpleasant? You said it yourself just now.
What?
Itll take too long.
I think you finally get it. Itll take too long. If so, then a question arises. What is a hero? Are they just mercenaries who carry out orders, but for free? I remember extensively arguing against mypanions about this.
What are you trying to say?
I came to one conclusion. Heroes need to do what only a Hero is capable of. Defeat the Demon Lord with the support of the Hero perk, which boosts their experience gain by five-fold, allowing the Hero to gain swift victory over the Demon Lord.
My God
She was stunned, like amb seeing azy God.
Hey, hubby.
What?
Ssosia, who had previously only listened to us, suddenly intervened.
I think you misunderstood the essence of the Heros 5x experience gain multiplier perk.
Misunderstood?
It wasnt implemented for the sake of defeating the Demon Lord as quickly as possible. It didnt even exist at all before. Back then, students had to train all day, which made most of them give up. It was designed to provide students with a sense of aplishment while providing free time.
And for that, they needed a five-fold experience gain?
Yeah.
Im shocked.
I thought the concept was very different.
I assumed that in 10 hours of training, one could pump 100 skill mastery.
For me, Hero was a special training profession that allowed me to train for 10 hours every day to gain 500 skill mastery.
However, other heroes trained for 2 hours to gain 100 skill mastery and spent their remaining 8 hours on love and friendship with theirpanions.
It looks like you finally get it. Your way of training is wrong.
I understand now.
d to hear it.
I understand the difference in our views. I dont think my way is wrong at all.
Youre just as much of a mistake of our school as the First Hero. Thats why I took the risk ofing here.
A teacher breaking school rules?
It was really curious.
Faculty members were bound by school rules, which prevented them from interfering with the students educational process.
But Teacher Morals, who entered the world of Fantasy, not only opened a grocery store but also prompted Sage to incite and concoct.
This was a clear, out-of-bounds interference.
Dont insult me. I have never broken school rules and didnt break any this time either. A ssroom without students is just a normal room.
Aha!
It sounded like a y on words, but I understood what she meant.
The world of Fantasy copsed whenever the Hero died, but now we had gone a year in the past where there was no hero. And the world was alright.
In other words
There may be more teachers across the continents of Fantasy looking for the First Angel.
The director?
Yes. While we are preparing for Monsofts inspection team, teachers and school staff are trying to find her before investorse in and offer an alternative.
Is that so
They interfered with my activities.
But this was also an opportunity to deal with the faculty members who were distorting Fantasy.
Despite having two divine powers, I still couldnt enter the teachers lounge.
Now, however, they voluntarily walked out of its safety and into my territory.
Are you going to go looking for them, cowardly hubby?
No.
I didnt need to look for them. It was quite obvious where and what the teachers and staff of the school were doing.
They didnt have many goals.
Connoisseur Shakespear.
Sword God Alex and Snow Woman.
ck Dragon Noebius.
The Sword Princess and our son Chris.
Giant King Phoenix.
Snow Queen Elsh.
Queen of Wisdom Malfaricia.
The list was longer than I thought.
There might be others, including the overlords stationed in the Demon Lords Tower, but if they wanted to harm me, the ones I mentioned would attack them.
But they wouldnt make a mess in this world.
School teachers and staff also wanted the school to prosper.
They only feared that its ownership would pass from the director to the Demon Lord.
It is necessary to beautifully pack Teacher Morals so she can be used as a bargaining chipter. The First Hero will love this.
Wait a second! Student Kang Han Soo!
FSUH!
I tore off any unnecessary clothes she had to minimize her weight, carefully tied her with red tape, then put her in the Demon Vault.
Ssosia stared at me in surprise.
What?
You forgave her easily for some reason.
Me? When?
You fixed her 5th vertebra.
My strength is imprinted on her spine.
She would never get back on her feet again.
Ah
Lets finish the work we started.
p!
We went down to the basement of the store where the abducted women were being held.
In films and short stories, the prisoners were beautifully packaged and awaiting rescue, but in reality, things werent so beautiful.
They couldnt move because their arms and legs were tied, so their asses were stained with their own feces.
The power of thought couldnt stop physiological processes.
Their eyelids were swollen since they had been crying nonstop, their eyes were empty, and their nails and teeth with which they tried to cut the ropes were broken and bleeding.
Some of them had even already died.
There were buckets of water and cattle feeders with food in the corner of the cer to keep them from starving, but they didnt seem to have been used all that much.
These girls were mentally broken. Their mind died first, followed by their body.
? Disappointment: This is too much To think a senior colleague of mine, who taught morality no less, would do something like this
Cheer up, Trainee Teacher!
Shemitted a crime and would pay for it.
I loved evil.
When someone had a distorted sense of justice, it was hard to call it evil.
On the other hand, evil so obviously malevolent and vile made everything much easier since it made punishing perpetrators much freer of guilt.
? Hope: However, not all of my senior colleagues are like that. I want to believe in that, at least.
Dont worry, Trainee Teacher with a beautiful body and soul!
I would rip out the teachers spines who drove my secret friend to depression and use them as a clothesline.
But before that
I know youre spying on me, my dark and demented senior. Would you talk to your junior if I put Morals ass on the line?
There was no answer.
Was ass not enough? Did his consultation fee also include her breasts?
? Fatigue: Enough
Chapter 315 - [21st Round] Fair Negotiation
Chapter 315 - [21st Round] Fair Negotiation
My demented senior appeared.
Thest time we met, we ended uppletely destroying his house, making me think wed never contact each other again.
Senior, though you seem displeased, you like me, dont you?
? Irritation: I admire your imagination. I cant believe you can still dare say something like that after you ripped out my once beloved wifes vertebrae without anesthesia.
He really seemed to like me.
? Seriousness: Why did you call me? I advise you to stop doing stupid things like this hostage game. While I was conquerings, I had many marriages of convenience. You are greatly mistaken if you think that I, the ruler of an entire gxy, am still attached to a woman from my past.
I didnt expect that from him, considering I realized that he lost his feelings of affection after he found the brooch he gave me in the garbage can.
Correct me if Im wrong, but watching you procrastinate and threaten me made me think you still havent gotten over the pastpletely.
? Calmness: Get to the point already. I advise you to be careful with your words, however. After all, I can easily take over Earth, your homnd, if I so wished.
Haha! Stop lying through your teeth, my resentful senior. You havent conquered Earth only because you cant. If the First Hero, an ultimate living weapon, leaves his capital, neighboring powers would react to it.
I was no ordinary Fantasy Hero thatcked attention.
And my wife was a graduate from an elite university, where Master Mon was from.
I am also his first wife! Hoho!
As she said.
I didnt see the connection between her being my first wife and the knowledge she possessed. Regardless, I still received superficial information about the situation in the universe from her.
Therefore, I couldnt be deceived.
? Calm: Im not lying. I havent forgotten that Ssosia, who always dered that she would live alone, married you, which means that her knowledge and skills naturally passed on to you. But it does seem to me that you cant go beyond the sr system, while my army and children can. If even the smallest part of my troops located on the edge of the gxy moves towards Earth, then theyll easily Hey! Why are youughing? Whats so funny?
I just find your honesty hrious.
He kept hinting that I shouldnt touch Teacher Morals.
I hadnt even gotten to my point yet, but he had already jumped to conclusions and began to intimidate me with his exaggerated abilities.
He said that his wife was only one of the many women from the past, but the reality was far from that.
Adolescence only came once in a lifetime, after all.
Even if they could experience it again, it wouldnt be as huge of an impact anymore.
One could never go back to their horny days when just looking at a womans thighs would turn them on.
On the one hand, this meant that they had matured, but on the other hand, they were no longer so innocent.
? Confusion: Interesting spection.
I experienced all this myself.
I had times when I couldnt take my eyes off of Lanuvels thighs, who was always pretending to be cute.
This had remained a trauma and a dark spot in my biography.
Thats why I remembered the name Lanuvel even 200 yearster.
And what about my senior?
? Surrender: Bianca Lanuberk. She was a very proud princess and was married off to me after I persuaded their familys godfather, Elfheim, to share my influence and wealth with their family. Now, I will never again go so far as to share my wealth and influence for one girl. As you said, it was only possible because I was young. Even if we rank my wives now, Bianca will still be among the top ten. She is special to me
Thank you for your honesty, which isnt inherent to the owner of the MAX-ss harem.
At that moment, the First Spirit hit me in the head.
What is the pathetic Fugitive Hero saying, Drug Hero?
He admitted that he still loves Teacher Morals.
I dont believe that. He immediately starts screaming about love whenever he sees a beautiful female and catches a whiff of her pheromones. I will not deny his love for her, but the problem is he loves all females in his life just the same.
Chances are high that youre right.
I know.
? Tremor: Since a long time ago, that spirit has been saying things that break my heart. Fugitive Hero? I indeed ran away, unable to bear the wives who bothered me, but all this is in the distant past. How long will she keep calling me that?
Even if you get rid of your personal file full of shameful stories, your past will never disappear, Fugitive Senior.
? Warning: Dont call me that. I dont expect you to call me by my name, so call me the Dark Elder or resentful senior as you did before.
It depends on how you behave, Fugitive Senior. Anyway, enough about the past. Lets get right down to business, shall we?
? Laughter: What do you mean business? Youre trapped in this dimension. Is there even anything you can do in your current position? If the Fantasy Institution goes to Monsoft, then you will forever live as auxiliary teaching material. And trust me, the Monians will take it seriously, unlike Parmael, that ipetent First Angel.
It seemed that rumors had already spread to the outside world that thergest investor, Monsoft, was going to take over the Fantasy Institution.
I didnt even know anything until Trainee Teacher told me!
But now, I was certain.
Fugitive Senior knew more about the universe than I did.
You can just ignore the Fugitive Hero, cowardly hubby. The system contains all the information rted to the school.
Well, sure, but we dont even know the identity of the person who recently entered this ce.
Thats true.
Therefore, we needed his help. If he didnt know anything, we could just pretend this conversation didnt happen in the first ce.
? Concord: The woman who recently invaded the Fantasy dimension is a mercenary. Murders, kidnappings, robberies, theft, debt collection, terrorist acts, and more. She might be a lifesaver for some, but for me, a gxy ruler, she is just a saboteur that needs to be destroyed. There are many such terrorists in the universe.
Oh? Did he just tell me everything?
? Shrug: This is trivial information. The crucial part about this is that you dont often see such capable mercenaries, which means she has a rich past. Perhaps just as much as mine.
Youre great, Fugitive Senior.
But that girl didnt look particrly capable.
Her stingray seemed much more powerful, considering it managed to dodge all my attacks.
Se-e-e-ex!
And it had a very unusual cry.
? Exnation: Youre used to acting alone, so you probably dont understand this, butpanions and weapons are also included in calcting onesbat power. Now that you have almost the same power as I do, however, mercenaries naturally can no longer serve as our opponents
Stop! Wait, Fugitive Senior!
I kicked his ass, but he still had the audacity to say that?
I know how you feel, and I know you want to protect your pride, but theres a huge difference between ourbat power, just like Mon and Mun.
? Irritation: Have you already forgotten what I told you? I cant leave the because it might provoke neighboring states. Even if I just concentrate my power and fire beams from my gxy to another, it will cause international discontent.
Wow.
That was such a cool power.
Could he really bombard another gxy that was many light years away from his?
A bullet traveling at the speed of light would take a hundred years to do this, so I couldnt even imagine it was possible.
But if one added fantasy elements into the mix, then it would be an entirely different matter.
An attack that defied all thews of physics, like my divine power, whichpressed space itself.
? Warning: Since you understand how powerful I am now, dont you dare touch Biancas chest and buttocks. While you took off her clothes and tied her with a ribbon, you touched her with your right hand for 3.6 seconds and your left hand for 4.2 seconds. Not to mention you touched her vertebrae for 113.5 seconds, which even I, her husband, havent done yet!
You memorized what happened down to the smallest details, Fugitive Senior.
I once again felt respect for him.
If you remember the incident with the Snow Woman, cowardly hubby, the Fugitive Hero is very attached to his women. I didnt think his affection wouldst this long, though.
This is amazing.
He was such a sentimental person.
? Sigh: After I became the ruler of an entire gxy, you are the second after Boris to speak back to me. Oh! Boris is the real name of my son, whom you killed and turned into an android.
Boris. I knew this name. The memory of that junior of mine was incredible.
? Upfront: You keep wasting my time with your useless chatter, so Ill open the negotiations first. Hand over all my women hiding in the Institution to me, and Ill help you with Monsoft.
Oh! Not a bad offer.
With his help, who had influence beyond this dimension, I would be able to put up a resistance worthy of Monsoft.
Bugs, teachers, invading aliens.
Even without those, the inspectorate would still find faults in the littlest things, but unnecessary problems would only lower my chances of sess.
There was only one way left.
I needed to borrow external power.
? Conclusion: It seems weve reached an ord. Including Bianca, there are nine of them across Fantasy. If my dead wives souls were still in the Fantasy system, there wouldve been more of them. But lets stop at nine for now.
Nine? So many!
I wasnt even sure if they were here, but I still had to track them down within a year and take care of their vertebrae.
? Suggestion: Every time you catch each of them as you did with Bianca, I will increase my support. But if even just one of them dies, then this temporary union will be terminated.
As befitted the ruler of the gxy, he knew how to negotiate.
But, unfortunately, his junior, a married man, didnt have enough free time to look for other peoples wives.
So I presented a suggestion.
Find them yourself.
If he didnt, their vertebrae would be mine.
***
Fugitive Senior, who had been obsessed with seizing Earth for a long time now, quickly epted my offer.
And not just because of his ex-wives vertebrae.
I, the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, didnt make pitiful threats like third-rate viins.
I could do much better than that.
The First Hero ims that he escaped because of your greed and fastidiousness, Teacher Morals.
Thats not true!
But he has solid evidence to back his im. Why did you throw away the brooch that your husband gave you?
Why are you asking me that?
Because you will need to give a speech to the people of Fantasy to prove your innocence.
A speech?!
Exactly, but you have to calm down. Youre not even in front of your runaway husband and hiswyer yet, but youre already nervous. What do you think will happen to you once you are, Teacher Morals? Do you think if you cry for believability, no one will notice your maniptive lies?
? Shock: Even Demon Lord Pedonar wasnt as vicious as you. You were born human, so how can you be so cruel?
This is all a misunderstanding, Fugitive Senior.
The inhabitants of Fantasy simply had to know the truth.
Hence, the Righteous Hero would bring that information to them!
I didnt see any problems with that.
? Fury: Just you wait! Ill send an army there soon!
Then youd better hurry. She wontst long.
The sense of justice sealed in my right hand ceaselessly urged me to reveal the truth to the public.
Hurry!
? Anxiety: Dont! Youre an actual demon!
May forgiveness descend upon the stupid Hero who turned his back on justice. Mon.
Chapter 316 - [Side Story] War Hero
Chapter 316 - [Side Story] War Hero
It had been two years since I, an ordinary high school student from Earth, was abducted into the world of Fantasy.
And during that time, I had countless moments that were so painful they made me want to die.
I could fall down the cliff, have my flesh torn off, and have my bones broken, and I would still quickly recover.
Kh! This throbbing pain sucks.
But that didnt mean it didnt hurt.
Although the Acute Perception skill removed the feeling of pain when it reached A-rank, it was usually inactive.
One shouldnt lie to their bodies, after all.
If something hurt, it would send a warning signal that there was a problem in that area.
Hence, if one were to unknowingly suffer from a broken leg because they couldnt feel pain, the damage would begin to swell and fester, eventually reaching a point where they would no longer be able to walk.
That was why I tried to tolerate pain whenever possible.
Does it still hurt, brother?
Brother? Call me Kang Han Soo.
But your name is difficult to pronounce. We spent the night together anyway, so we shouldnt have to worry about such formalities, said Emily, the girl next to me in bed, with a shy smile.
A nket covered her naked body, which I admired all night.
She would seem like the embodiment of fantasies for an earthling, but her beauty was just average in this world.
If she was born on Earth, she could have easily fooled rich men, arranging afortable life for herself.
Anyway
Its morning already, Emily. Go home, or your parents will be worried. Itll be problematic if they go to the city guards.
Im very grateful to you for what happened yesterday.
I ended up there by chance as I came to collect rare herbs. You shouldnt thank me. Soe back home soon. Otherwise, mypanions
Knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
I hid Emilys head under the covers.
Im sleeping. So dont
BAM!
As soon as the bedroom doors lock was destroyed and it swung wide open, I jumped to the side and grabbed the sword that I always kept near me, preparing to pounce on the intruder.
However, as soon as I saw the intruders face, I immediately stopped and loosened my grip.
Whats the matter, Hero? Its still early in the day, but you already want to challenge me?
I wouldnt have pulled my sword if you hadnt kicked the door and invaded my room.
I was walking along the corridor of this hotel and heard a womans voice in here.
That doesnt exin why you broke in.
Hmph! I was worried you were being attacked by a beautiful assassin who entered through the window, so I hurried to help you, Hero. You should be grateful!
You better think about how youdpensate the innkeeper for the lock you broke.
I have no money, Alexined, not showing even a single drop of guilt for what he had done.
I replied as I got dressed. Because of you and Aqua, we keep having to pay for property damages, just like when you got into a brawl with a bunch of mercenaries. Thats why we sleep in shabby and dangerous hotels outside the city walls like this.
That was the mercenaries fault!
They didnt have a penny in their pockets, and someone had to pay for the damages.
Well, we paid. So it shouldnt be a problem, right?
Thats exactly the problem that I want to draw your attention to. Be careful not to waste our finances
Its okay. We just have to work again.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Alex was unarmed, and I had a sword in my hand.
From the first days, when I was an ordinary high school student, and untilst year, I was absolutely helpless and afraid of Alex, but not now.
If I wanted, I could get rid of him.
I almost overtook him by actively using the Heros 5x experience multiplier perk.
But he was mypanion.
Unless I intended to fight Demon Lord Pedonar alone, I had to be with him for the rest of the adventure, whether I liked it or not.
Hence, I had to be patient.
Well meetter on the 1st floor and think about how to make money then.
I was lost in thought once more.
Was it okay for a hero to be more worried about expenses than a sudden invasion by the Demon Lord?
***
Duke Kureils estate, Northern Continent.
The city walls were extremely high and heavily guarded, making it difficult to get inside when the gates were closed, which was why the townspeople had to return home by sunset before they got shut out.
If they werete, there would be no other choice but to stay in a hotel outside the city walls, as we did.
Thank you so much, brother.
Thank you as well, Emily. There arent many opportunities that help me increase the Pacifications skill level.
Ooh! I dont want to leave yet.
Hurry up and get going.
Now that the gates of the city were open, she could finally return home.
Home
I also had no time to y the fool. I needed to work hard to get home. I was sure my parents were worried. No, maybe they had decided that I had already died since two years had already passed since I went missing.
Sir Hero! Sir Hero!
Stop yelling.
Its because you didnt answer!
Archaeologist Lanuvel.
She guided the Hero on his adventures.
She easily noticed traps in dungeons, which wouldve been useful if she didnt rush to step on them as well
Whats the matter?
I know a way to make money and recruit apanion!
Good. Ill listen and decide.
Kaisa Kureil, the only daughter of Duke Kureil, is looking for a partner. She announced that she would marry the man who can defeat her in a sword fight.
Sounds like that richdy knows a thing or two about swords. Thats still a ridiculous notion, though. What if a bandit leader overpowers her? Will she still marry him?
Shes the strongest swordsman on the Northern Continent, earning her the title, Sword Princess.
My smile immediately disappeared from my face.
The strongest in the Northern Continent.
That woman apparently had no desire to get married.
I could already guess what Lanuvel would offer me.
Sir Hero! You must get your hands on the Holy Sword!
And if I dont want to?
Once you find the Holy Sword, you can challenge the Sword Princess! Without it, you have no chance.
I looked at Alex, Aqua, and Saintess A standing behind Lanuvel.
What do you think?
The Hero is still too weak.
Lanuvel is right.
The Holy Sword is very important.
They seemed to agree with Lanuvels suggestion.
We were already on the Northern Continent anyway, so it was logical.
Nevertheless
I will challenge the Sword Princess.
Yes! Sir Hero! Lanuvel knows where the Holy Sword is sealed. We should get it now since its the only way youll be able to defeat the Sword Princess
No. I will challenge her now.
Its too reckless to challenge her without the Holy Sword!
Lanuvel, if I cant defeat her without the Holy Sword, Ill just have to give up this idea altogether.
Give up on the Sword Princess?!
Yes.
The Holy Sword was a legendary weapon created to fight Demon Lord Pedonar.
I hadnt yet seen the woman called the Sword Princess, but I could already guarantee the husband she was looking for shouldnt rely on a weapons strength but his own skills.
Haha! So be it.
The Hero is such a fool.
This is sphemy. Putting women above the Holy Sword
Alex, Aqua, and Saintess A didnt like my decision, but they didnt mind it.
Was it because they respected me?
If it had been me a year ago, I might have thought so, but not anymore.
They enjoyed participating or watching fights like this much more than exploring dungeons and hunting monsters.
Then its settled.
Lanuvel assures you, Sir Hero, you will regret this decision!
I wont regret it. I dont want to win by relying on the strength of my weapon.
We headed to the heart of Duke Kureils estate after Alexpensated the innkeeper.
I didnt have enough money, so today, I left without breakfast.
***
I thought I could fight Countess Kaisa Kureil, known as the Sword Princess, right away, but things turned out to be a little moreplicated.
There was only one bride-to-be and hundreds of potential grooms.
She simply wouldnt have time to fight every challenger, so a qualifying tournament was held where the suitorspeted for the right to challenge her.
To join the tournament, one had to pass a basic test.
I dont like you, Count Lolikun, the old knight in charge of testing my skills, said.
What exactly do you dislike?
Everything. Even your face.
It seemed he hated men who coveted his mistress.
But I will still share information. If you are confident in your victory, you can ce a bet.
Okay, Ill keep it in mind.
I remembered Lanuvel bragging about having found a way to make money.
Apparently, she was talking about this.
But I didnt even have money right now
If youck funds, go to the pawnshop next to the arena. You can leave your valuables on bail there and receive a certain amount with interest in exchange. If you win, youlle out rich.
I see. Thanks.
You must have the courage to put everything you have on the line if you want to win the young, powerful, and beautifuldys heart.
Hahaha
I passed the test and left Count Lolikun, who gave me ill-natured advice.
Passing the arena, I saw a girl I knew. She noticed me too.
Brother!
Emily?
Yes! Im very d to see you again. The tournament ising up soon, so I came to see the list of participants~
I see.
CLING!
In her hands was a sack tightly packed with coins. From the sound it was making alone, I deduced they were made of pure gold.
Im also here to gamble.
No way All of that?
Yes! This is pocket money that I have been diligently saving up for a month now.
Is that so
The girls monthly allowance was equal to the Heros annual living wage, but I decided not to mention that.
Are you also participating?
Yes.
Wow! Be sure to win! Ill be cheering for you!
Thanks.
At least someone supported me.
For the sake of her pocket money, I decided to do my best.
***
As they said, Be careful with people close to you.
When I lived on Earth, I didnt know what that meant, but now I thought I did.
Bastards.
I usually didnt swear, but this time I couldnt help it.
Why would people who covered my back in battle wish for my defeat?
But that was exactly what happened.
They put axative in my food.
I had already entered the arena by the time I realized it.
Behold! The beloved daughter of Duke Kureil, the Northern Continents epitome of beauty, the warrior who single-handedly slew 954 ogres, the Order of the ck Roses Head, one of the three strongest knights of the Northern Continent, Guardian of the eastern part of the Northern Continents, Commander of the Eastern Legion, Deputy Commander of the Northern Legion, Guardian of Kureil Estate, Master of Eyer the Magic Sword, the Ice Troll yer, the Thorny ck Rose! Countess Kaisa Kureil!
Woah!
Yesss! Ahhhh!
Woooooo!
The strongest swordsman of the Northern Continent appeared on the battlefield.
Premium equipment, excellent condition, high performance. To top it all off, outstanding beauty
And her opponent
Greet the man who wants to win the heart of Countess Kaisa Kureil. Kang Han Soo, a swordsman from the Central Continent!
They constantly booed the participants prior to our battle, but now they seemed to be amazed to see me. I guessed my tense face reminded them of some kind of viin.
The audience grew quieter and quieter.
However, thanks to Rumor B, I distinctly heard the whisper of a girl praying for me.
Brother! Hold on!
It was Emily, the girl who put all her pocket money on me.
ording to rumors, my victory was estimated to be 1 in 200.
It didnt matter if I won or lost this fight. She would profit.
I stood in front of the Sword Princess, having already won the tournament.
I watched your battles around halfway through the tournament, honored swordsman.
Is that so
That wasnt good.
I didnt know anything about her fighting style, but she already knew about mine.
It shouldnt work that way.
Before I seriously fought her, I needed to get as much information as I could.
I first had to determine what she knew about me.
What do you think of me?
At first, I thought you were a pretentious man, but I was wrong. Your barbaric face, deep bottomless gaze, rough bulging muscles, and insane fighting spirit were really beautiful.
Thanks for thepliment.
I gritted my teeth as I suffered from such humiliation.
Sword Princess.
As the most powerful swordsman on the Northern Continent, she excelled even in psychological warfare.
I asked her about my fighting style, and she talked about how outrageous I looked.
What do you think of me, dear swordsman?
I couldnt get the information I needed, and she was already trying to get something out of me again.
Hmmm! If so
I would reciprocate her and give the wrong answer.
You are like a dazzling double moon in the night sky, impossible for my hand to grab. A perfectbination of strength and beauty. That is what you are.
Ah
Did my provocation work?
The Sword Princesss face turned red.
Perhaps from anger, considering Confusion appeared in her stats.
She didnt know that I was a hero that could view someone elses stats.
Are you ready, Kaisa Kureil?
Oh? Yes! Ready! W-well, not in that sense, but
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
While she was still under the effects of Confusion, I pounced and rained down a bombardment of attacks on her.
Lanuvel, are you watching? Even yourxative cant stop me!
Ha!
Ah
That was how myplicated and difficult rtionship with the Sword Princess began.
Chapter 317 - [21st Round] Recruiting Freshmen
Chapter 317 - [21st Round] Recruiting Freshmen
] Note: An attempt to transport arge amount of living matter to your coordinates is being made, Demon Lord Kang Han Soo. If you agree, I will send you the Spatial Transportation Magic Circle form it requires. Please be advised that the magic circle Ill be sending can only transport people from the senders dimension to the recipients. It cannot be used the other way around.
Thank you for trampling on my stupid expectations in advance, Goddess of Fantasy!
The system, which had been silent for a long time, reported abnormalities.
Fugitive Senior who spied on me through his position as an honorary teacher did send an army.
I thought it would take him several days to gather his troops, but he exceeded my expectations.
That aside
Whats wrong with you?
Ssosia hadnt taken her eyes off my beautiful face for quite a while now.
We need to be prepared for invasions of extraterrestrial forces in the future, cowardly husband.
How do you suggest we do that?
First, let me ask you a question. How long do you think itll take you to destroy the of Fantasy?
Hmm About 10 seconds?
Although if I wielded the full power of the Demon Lord or if the had a spine, it would take less than 0.1 seconds.
Then, to stop invaders as powerful as you, ourary defense forces must be readied and deployed within 10 seconds after we caught wind of their presence in our borders. No, we need to act even faster. Itll be quite disappointing if our countermeasures against them blow up along with the entire immediately after we finish our preparation for warfare.
Sure.
I didnt know if it was even possible to physically defend the from such an attack.
Even if our army was prepared for it, could they actually do anything to stop it in 10 seconds?
Just briefing them of the enemy wouldst more than 10 seconds.
In other words, it wouldnt make sense.
Its necessary to protect our people.
Well Its useless against the might of a cosmic deity like my father. However, if the enemy specializes in individualbat power like you, such an army wont be as worthless. Theyd be able to buy us time.
Theyd just be swept away.
I did understand what she meant, though.
One of the many asteroids flying through space once fell on Earth, causing the dinosaurs extinction.
To God, it was probably like watching popcorn.
But this is all theoretical. In reality, itll most likely take 30 seconds to deploy aary defense force. Doing that in 10 seconds is only possible during promotional training to calm thes inhabitants.
30 seconds is already extremely fast
When mypanions in the 1st round heard the news about arge army of monsters wreaking havoc in cities and viges, it still took them much longer than 30 seconds to recover from their hangovers.
Thats not even on aary scale. What well be experiencing is on apletely different level of threat. The Fugitive Hero has great military organization training. His troops took only 25.4 seconds to fully prepare for deployment.
FSHUH!
Every time Ssosia waved her wand, magical patterns appeared on the ground.
Spatial Transportation Magic Circle.
However, its size was muchrger than the magic circle Lanuvel created to abduct civilians and turn them into heroes.
How can you make one without a catalyst?
Oh. Have you forgotten? Your first wife is the God Creator of Fantasy.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
The highest quality materials required to activate the magic circle appeared in powder form.
For Ssosia, the maker of this world, collecting rare materials wasnt difficult at all.
She just made what she needed appear from thin air.
Is there anything you cant create?
Souls, Ssosia answered without hesitation.
VZHZHZH!
The magic circle, imbued with the pulverized catalyst, was soon activated.
Fugitive Seniors army will be arriving anytime now
I was a little worried.
Keep in mind that the Fugitive Hero is a king. Even if you only rule a part of a continent, youll already be considered an emperor here. However, the politics and hierarchy of the universe are far different. You must rule three or four gxies to be emperor out there.
And then what am I?
Although not intentionally, I inherited the family business from my father-inw and became a Demon Lord.
However, I didnt lord over any, much less a sr system, and even lesser, a gxy.
Should I introduce myself to them as an ordinary demon?
The Spatial Transportation Magic Circle Ssosia drew shone, releasing pure white light, and 200 dummies soon appeared on top of it.
Among them were humans and androids that we saw on Earth. To be honest, I was expecting something more majestic.
Leading them was a femalemander.
? Race: Red Dragonian Overlord
? Level: 1
? Job: Lord of mes (Fire Immortality )
? Skills: Interpretation A
? Status: Interest
She didnt originate here in Fantasy, so she received the stats of a rookie hero. However, even by instincts alone, I could tell she wasnt weak.
Her neck, waist, forearms, and thighs showed soft human-like skin, but everything else was covered in sturdy red scales that served as her armor. She also had intimidating ws at the tips of her fingers.
Her wings were folded behind her, and her tail was wrapped around her waists, however, making her appear less intimidating.
She was the first one to open the conversation.
Ill skip the official presentation since you wont understand it even if I exin it to you. All you need to know is that I am General Chromatigus, themander for this operation. I normally dont participate in trivial missions like finding eight of the 586 queens, but when I heard my dear Boris is here, I volunteered anyway. That being said, I look forward to your cooperation.
Dear Boris?
Did she mean the same old Prince Boris I knew?
Hes handsome since he resembles His Majesty, but what I like about him is how he persistently resists the will of the powerful.
Is that so
Ipletely disagreed with her description, but I didnt dispute her unique taste.
We will discuss thister. His Majesty desires to ensure the exchange of captives first. Every time you bring us one of the individuals were looking for, well provide you with material support.
I have no need for it.
My cowardly wife could create anything.
Except for troops, I didnt need anything.
The Fantasy Institution is currently suffering from a shortage of new students. If this problem isnt resolved, the school will be forced to close without prior inspections.
Ssosia knew more about Fantasys situation, but new students are indeed onlying from Earth at the moment.
However, based on the results of my monphone-powered observation on my homes situation, reports of young peoples disappearance had be practically nonexistent, most likely because the faculty had already kidnapped thest of its social outcasts.
In other words, the admission of new students had been halted.
Granted, hundreds of people who had reached the minimum required age for admission are registered each year, but that wasnt enough, given the size of this school.
What do you think?
On behalf of His Majesty, we are ready to supply you with students, the human resources that youck so much, from our homnd.
Fugitive Senior is pretty cunning.
I thought I, the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, was one-sidedly taking advantage of his generosity, but he thought this through just as much.
Graduates returned home.
Increasing the number of new students right now would be ideal, but theyd be part of his army once they had graduated.
On the surface, it would appear as if he was supporting me, but in reality, I would be the one helping him.
I didnt like it.
Not really. Things will be different if we dont let them graduate~
Well, arent you a genius?
Hehe! I am the first wife of the MAX-ss Demon Lord. For me, this is nothing.
I turned to the femalemander.
Hey, Red.
You are exactly as I was told. However, I cannot allow you to call me that.
Haha! Its easier to remember!
I was stronger, so she couldnt resist me.
We could fight about it, but we were allies moving towards the same goal right now, which I was d about.
Husband, I think you like this woman, said Ssosia, ming with jealousy and clutching my hand.
I stroked my wifes back.
First, dragons are gender-neutral. Second, even if I do, Id only be interested in her as abatant. If her strength were reflected in her stats, Im certain it would be impressive.
Impressive?
Dont worry. Shes still weaker than you, my first wife.
Yes! Im first!
Ssosias jealousy disappeared like snow under the scorching sun of summer.
The time hade to get down to business.
I summoned my seniors ex-wife, whom he still couldnt forget to this day.
Pop!
She was packaged in a way that prevented her from moving.
I ept this offer, Red.
I will report to His Majesty that both parties have agreed to the deal.
Teacher Morals, who noticed how the situation was developing, began toment again.
They say that if you forgive the enemy, then you will be friends. Kang Han Soo, proud student of our school, I know you dont like me, but dont go to such extremes! If you do this, you will turn the entire faculty against you!
Everything will be fine.
I would deal with all the teachers hiding here in Fantasy right now while looking for the director and interfering with my ns.
Professor Morals was just the beginning.
How are you going to get her out of here?
We have a method.
The android behind her came forward.
Unlike the other soldiers, it waspletely unarmed.
Its stats awakened my curiosity.
? Race: Ancient Android
? Level: 1
? Job: Hero (Experience 200%)
? Skills: MAX
? Status: Socket, Submission
It had a MAX-rank ck box that allowed the user to save skills and a double experience perk.
I realized immediately what they were trying to do.
Youre going to turn her into experience points.
Oh no! Thats Huh?!
The Android Hero grabbed Teach Morals neck with both hands.
Her distorted face begged for mercy, but she soon disappeared from this world.
? Race: Ancient Android
? Level: 999+
? Job: Queen (Favor Captivity )
? Skills: MAX, Assassination E, Composure F
?Status: Socket, Submission
Only about 1% of a monsters total experience would normally be absorbed, with the rest being scattered into nature. However, like my past self, the android absorbed all the experiencepletely with the help of its ck Box and its profession.
They had extracted the soul of Teacher Morals!
She couldter be removed and transferred to a vessel simr to a human body to revive her.
Theoretically speaking.
Take the queens body too.
As youmand!
The soldiers took care of Teacher Moralss level 0 body as ordered.
Shook! Vzhzh!
The soldiers plugged a vacuum-cleaner-like machine in her ass to get rid of her excess fluids.
That would prevent dposition.
It wasnt much different from morgues.
I shouldnt feel sorry to see her in such a state, but for some reason, I am.
The list ofs from which you can kidnap new students has been updated, cowardly hubby.
Ha! Fugitive Senior kept his promise. I hope this sacrifice wasnt in vain.
Finally, Teacher Morals gave me onest lesson.
If one were to forgive their enemy, they would be friends.
She was right.
When I forgave Professor Morals, I became close to the Fugitive Elder.
? Farewell: Senior, dont worry and leave all the work to the younger ones.
Oh! Right!
Starting today, we are appointing Trainee Teacher as the new teacher of ethics and morality!
? Embarrassment: I didnt say goodbye with such selfish motives
Its okay, Trainee Teacher! There are still many goodbyes ahead!
Chapter 318 - Art
Chapter 318 - Art
To track down the queens hiding somewhere on this, we need their belongings. His Majesty left his home empty-handed, so we need to find all these things I heard are called Chaos Artifacts here.
Ah! Those!
There was a moment when I had the bright idea of collecting Chaos Artifacts to move between dimensions.
However, after Fugitive Senior abducted me due to the Brave power they contained, the Chaos Artifacts were deemed dangerous, causing me to abandon my n.
But I knew a way to find them.
Pop!
A beautiful married elf jumped out of my shadow.
Shadow A.
She diligently searched for those items as well to meet her pathetic husband, the Elf King, so she knew a lot about them.
Sure. I didnt waste time. But I didnt think they would be used that way.
Good. Tell me where they are. Ill do the rest myself.
Hmm? Yourself?
Yes.
I really regretted entrusting a task to mypanions back in my first round.
They not only didnt solve the problems but, on the contrary, made the situation worse. There was only one creature I could rely on.
Mon?
The great creature swayed as it peered out of my wifes breasts.
Take good care of Master Mon, Ssosia.
This task was important enough to be prioritized.
If I were to ask Master Mon for it, all my problems would instantly be solved, but that would be sphemous.
Lowly beings like me should never dare request God to do our bidding.
Hey, husband? As your first wife, I try to think positively, but Mon still isnt the only one you can rely on.
I have entrusted you with the most important task. And that already means a lot.
Means a lot Oh! How you love toplicate things. Okay! Hit the road, hubby! Leave everything else to your first wife.
Mon~
Even though she was cowardly, I could trust her with him.
I looked back at Shadow A.
So, where are they?
Theres five in the Northern Continent, seven in the Central, five in the South, four in the East, five in the West, two in the Sea of Death, and three in my desert refuge on the Southern Continent. If you add the artifacts that I couldnt track or are damaged, there will be even more of them.
Oh, thats a bit too much.
Not counting Teacher Morals, there were eight teachers that Fugitive Senior wanted to get his hands on.
However, the number of Chaos Artifacts reported by Shadow A far exceeded that number.
Shadow A provided an exnation.
Many were killed by the Demon Lords attack. His wives that survived became teachers, and the rest reincarnated somewhere in the world of Fantasy, forgetting everything about them and taking on an entirely different look.
You mean that among these artifacts, there are also those that belonged to wives who didnt be teachers?
Yes.
Shadow A began detailing where those objects were.
It wasnt difficult to remember, but there were many of them. It would probably take me several days to find them.
But that wasnt all.
With the help of the Chaos Artifacts, Id need to track down the teachers. This task would take even longer.
Did Red realize that too?
Because while listening to Shadow As exnations, she intervened.
We will act separately, Hero.
Do what you want.
If you seed in capturing another queen, bring her here. Then my people will take care of her as before.
Okay.
Fshuh!
Red, spreading her wings, soared into the sky.
Vampires, demons, and angels, who had wings and flight-rted skills, followed her.
Here it was, the globalization of the Universe.
Even without the stupid teaching of good and evil, which was done at the Fantasy Institution, society was doing great.
Race, gender, appearance, nationality
Only savages would fight each other because they were different.
Elves, gnomes, humans, and androids who remained on the ground started setting up a temporary camp.
FSHUH!
Opening my wings of the righteous hero, I flew south.
Why did you start at the south, Drug Hero?
Thats what the universe told me to do.
The President of the Universe would always try to get me out of trouble and direct me on the right path.
Narrowing the space from time to time, I quickly crossed the Central Continent and arrived at the Southern Continent.
The reason why I decided to start from the farthest continent was simple.
Drug Hero! Something is burning there!
I see it.
Shadow As hideout was in an oasis of the once deste Southern Continent.
However, after transitioning to the 5th curriculum, green forests, meadows, and civilizations appeared here instead of deserts.
Because of that, I no longer knew the exact location of her shelter. However, clouds of gray smoke rising high into the sky pointed itself out to me.
? Surprise: Whats going on there?
Nothing important, Trainee Teacher.
That was evidence that Fugitive Senior wasnt the only one spying on me.
The teachers eavesdropped on the conversation between Red and me, allowing them to react in advance.
This was the result.
Shadow As hideout, which contained three Chaos Artifacts, was attacked.
Even without visual confirmation, I could smell them.
Its their stench!
The insidious faculty members foul smell.
The sense of justice that had remained dormant in my right hand awakened once more!
From the moment I discovered them, the battle was already over. The difference in our strength was so great that it wouldve been a shame to call it a fight.
I flicked my finger lightly.
[Darkness]
At the same moment, dark matter made my vicinity tremble.
Kha?!
Ph?!
A man and a woman, presumably teachers, screamed as they fell to the ground.
Looking up, their eyes widened when they saw my righteous smile.
I decided to skip the greeting.
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
I fired spikes from my wings of the righteous hero and ripped open the belly of the male teacher on the right.
His innards immediately fell out.
Th-this is
Art Teacher! The woman teacher on the left screamed in tears.
I see, then this man currently admiring his insides is an art teacher.
And what did the woman specialize in?
Hi.
My greeting was a littlete, but I also showered her with spikes.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
However, she swung her thin-ded silver rapier and deflected all of them.
She wasnt fast enough for me to catch up with her, but she showed exceptional efficiency with minimal movement.
I didnt really care, though.
As soon as I snapped my finger again, dark matter shook the space.
No matter how agile and fast she was, she couldnt handle an attack over such arge area.
But she struck the rapier de in her hand with her fingertips, causing a strange vibration.
BZZZZZ!
It neutralized the spatial distortion of my dark matter, which came as a surprise to me.
I am a teacher of mathematics. I can calcte all phenomena in nature using numbers, and I am also the creator of the magic points that measurebat power. Student Kang Han Soo, I have calcted that the probability of you being defeated is 67.4%.
Really now? Math teacher, what are the chances of you escaping sessfully from me?
Well She couldnt answer.
Underneath her sses, I saw how her pupils trembled like the surface of ake during a typhoon.
Do you need a calctor?
No! No! Somethings wrong here! Yourbat power is too much of an anomaly! The Demon Lords essence is divided between dimensions, so your strength shouldnt be that high! No, more than that, why is its value continuing to grow endlessly
SKRRR!
Her sses that measured mybat power cracked, causing her to scream.
How ridiculous.
She stopped my dark matter but hurt herself by calcting the odds.
So, whats the probability?
Kh! We must wait! My calctions arent over yet! I cannot work with an infinite number!
p!
The math teacher sat down on the ashes of the ruins, muttering something to herself.
Hey, this is no time to rest.
This must be some form of devilry
Math teacher. It looks like the math problems first introduced in Curriculum 5 are too hard. Ill help you solve this one with an easy-to-understand mathematical form. First, multiply your 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, round off the value, and calcte the differential.
What?
Youll get it.
What Huh?!
The math teacher screamed desperately as she tried to stand with both hands on the ground.
Blood-filled tears flowed from her eyes, blinded by shards of ss.
She seemed to have solved the problem correctly.
Its not that difficult, but it can be a little painful.
Ugh!
Even a simple addition or subtraction involving ones vertebrae is painful, after all.
Youre crazy! Youre
Fshuh!
I righteously punished her for being unable to adjust to the standards of the new curriculum and for her jealousy of an intelligent student.
I threw her into the Demon Vault.
Based on the memories extracted from the Chaos Artifacts, that lover of urate calctions was also one of Fugitive Seniors ex-wives.
Was it luck?
I love you, President of the Universe.
I was told to move further south.
Oh! Before that
P-please help me, student Kang Han Soo. I followed her simply because Math Teacher asked me to go with her. As the very person who teaches the importance of beauty to the heroes, I dont tolerate violence
Crunch!
I struck my wings of the righteous hero between the noisy Art Teachers 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae.
So silly.
If only he kept his mouth shut, I would have beautifully taken care of his lumbar spine.
Teaching the importance of beauty?
Many locals were ignored or attacked by the heroes simply because they were ugly.
Teachers like him would only create more arrogant heroes that would sell their souls for a beautiful pelvis.
? Question: Cadet Kang Han Soo, if this is wrong, what kind of beauty should we strive for in the future?
Good question, beautiful Trainee Teacher!
Morality and ethics were well suited to her, who immediately pinpointed the core and essence of each matter, but I thought she could also take the math teachers ce.
? Recognition: Unfortunately, I am weak in math. So what kind of beauty should we pursue?
Inner beauty!
? Concern: I hope she didnt die because of your crazy math form, junior.
Haha! Dont worry, Fugitive Senior!
I was weak in statistics but confident in my calctions.
I hadnt done any calctions in the past 200 years, though, so I mightve messed something up. Overall, it should be fine.
? Fear: Hey!
Lets go further south!
I was looking forward to what academic subjects were lying in wait for me, the MAX-ss Righteous Hero.
Chapter 319 - [21st Round] Transformation
Chapter 319 - [21st Round] Transformation
Since Ice King Sleas created a huge air conditioner on the Southern Continent during the 4th curriculum, itsnds dried up, turning it into an endless desert.
In the 5th curriculum, however, Sleas had lost his refuge, causing the Southern Continents weather to change so much it became a habitable ce for elves once more.
Humans and giants also lived here with them.
There are a lot of giants here, Drug Hero.
Yeah. They seem to have taken over the entire Southern Continent.
The giants were thisnds true rulers.
They owned 80% of it, including the small desert in the center. The remaining 20% belonged to humans and elves.
And it wasnt about conquest by war.
This was because they removed the mountain ranges here to begin their remation process. The project began about 2,000 years ago and continued to this day. The use of the giants excrement as cement yed a big role in it since many canals and buildings were erected using that construction material.
I was the one who taught them that.
Well go there.
I was heading in the direction indicated by the President of the Universe. I missed a few Chaos Artifact locations that Shadow A spoke about, but I wasnt particrly worried about it since a teacher was nearby.
In the end, I would still find them all anyway. What I should focus on is getting my priorities straight.
Wasnt that the right way to do business?
I worked by the sweat of my brow to get a batch of new students from Fugitive Senior as soon as possible.
? Suspicion: Im feeling malicious intent from you
Its all about mood, senior! If anything, youd better watch how Red is doing on her side of things. Shes more worthy of your doubt than I am, considering Im doing really great here.
? Happiness: She wont have a problem either. Shes so strong that even I can hardly control her. She volunteered to join us because she thinks Boris is cute. He started being rebellious at a young age. Eventually, he quarreled with me and fled, causing his death. Thats why shes perfect for this mission. Shell kill two birds with one stone.
So Fugitive Senior had his own set of family problems.
My son and I had some disagreements, but we generally had a friendly rtionship. I did great disciplining him, after all.
Have you seen Haris?
Since his spine resembled mine, he was popr with women, and he also had the qualities to be a true Righteous Hero.
? Confusion: Those are all delusions.
Since I was almost at my destination, I pretended I didnt hear Fugitive Senior, whose pride was even more fragile than that of my jealous wife!
Everything looks so grandiose here.
Everything about the capital of the Empire of Giants, which upied 80% of the Southern Continent, was huge.
From normal-sized beings point of view, all these institutions and dwellings designed by and for giants seemed like mountains.
At the very center of it was a structure that rivaled Snow Mountain M in height, a skyscraper built in the shape of a pyramid.
Bang! Bang!
Even though giants were moving along its floors, it showed no hints of copse.
Their races natural weight made it difficult to build buildings more than two stories high, but the one at the center, as if mocking logic itself, didnt even appear to have a dent.
Could those wings be
Oh! My God!
The man of legends is back!
Oh! Prophet!
The giants, whose eyes resembled huge telescope lenses, began to cause amotion the moment they saw me in the sky.
My poprity hadnt subsided here even after 2,000 years.
Most humans had already forgotten me, but these colossal creatures were different.
? Race: Giant
? Level: 596
? Job: Fisherman (Fishing Endurance )
? Skills: Fishing A, Hunting B, Construction B, Swimming C, Eternal Youth C
? Status: Surprise, Confusion, Delight
Humans and giants should be equally strong, but giants had significantly higher levels since they hunted high-level sea monsters.
Of course, they suffered casualties during their hunts, but those who survived became some of the most powerful creatures onnd.
Then what about the Giant King?
I cant see him.
Giant King Phoenix, who absorbed Phoenix, the First Elf, and gained immortality, continued to grow forever.
Purely theoretically, someday, he might berger than this itself.
I wondered what became of him, considering he continued to grow for 2,000 years.
I couldnt find him, though. Was it even possible to hide such a huge body?
Strange.
Are you sure hes not dead yet, Drug Hero?
Yes.
We didnt meet in person, but to ensure the 5th curriculum would keep running smoothly, I sent a formal request for cooperation to the Giant Empire.
And on behalf of Phoenix, a positive response came.
We had now gone back a year before those events happened, so he was definitely alive.
But if so, where was he?
Unwanted guests had even invaded his home.
Invaders! Invaders Huh?!
Defend the pce!
The enemy is too strong!
Stop them! Quickly!
Since their imperial pce was made of durable materials capable of withstanding their races weight, it remained unshaken even during such amotion.
But they couldnt stop the intruders even though the ones defending it were real warriors, not fishermen.
? Race: Tall Giant
? Level: 999+
? Job: Warrior (War Physical Strength )
? Skills: Super Strength Z, Size Z, Two-handed Sword Mastery MAX, Fortitude MAX, Enemy Detection SSS
? Status: Steadfast, Wounded, Bleeding
They had the advantage in numbers, but they were still losing.
That was how strong their opponents were.
If they didnt restrain themselves to avoid destroying the building, the entire giant race wouldve already been destroyed along with the pce.
Because
? Race: Ancient Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Teacher (Teaching Skills )
? Skills: Physical Strength ZZZ, Five Senses ZZZ, Endurance ZZ, Vitality ZZ, Male Strength ZZ
? Status: Caution, Protection
The opponents skills were top-notch.
Most of the faculty members had Teacher as their profession, making it impossible to determine the subject he taught through his stats alone.
But judging by his skills, I wondered if it would be okay to assume that he was Physical Education Teacher?
The beefy man cleared the way, followed by a slender woman with huge, frightened, deer-like eyes.
I took a look at her as well.
? Race: Ancient Human
? Level: 784
? Job: Teacher (Teaching Skills )
? Skills: Cooking G, Laundry ZZ, Cleaning Z, Child Care Z, Order Z
? Status: Anxiety
Her Cooking skill that reached the realm of Gods was impressive, but it was useless inbat.
Did she teach the heroes to cook?
The woman didnt look like she needed to be feared.
I continued to watch them.
Hmm. The Giant King doesnt seem to have any intentions of showing up.
If I followed this corridor, I could get into the treasury of the Giant Empire.
There had to be a Chaos Artifact there.
It didnt need it now, though. My target was the teachers who came for it.
It was just a tool, a means to an end, anyway.
I decided to start with the teacher who cooked well.
[Darkness]
A spatial hole appeared under her feet like a shadow.
If she fell into it, shed find herself in the Demon Vault.
Be careful!
What? Aaaaahhhh!
Home Economics Teacher!
Tsk!
The man was busy fighting the giant warriors but still managed to grab the womans hand, who almost fell into the hole, and lift her up.
My surprise attack failed.
He had absurd reaction speed.
Clicking my tongue, I quickly approached them,pressing the space between us. I had to deal with him while he was still distracted by the female.
However
Oh! What?
He managed to react to my movement, which was tantamount to teleportation.
My wings and his fist collided.
Student Kang Han Soo?
Not a student, but a hero.
You mean the Demon Lord.
Thats my second profession, yes.
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
Since he had to fight and protect the female simultaneously, my spikes-covered wings easily wounded his body.
To my surprise, no matter how much my attacks tried to tear through his skin, all they did was leave him with scratches.
I could put more force into my blows, but then the whole pce would cease to exist.
The ceiling is falling!
Oh no! Everythings falling apart!
Retreat! Retreat!
Due to the shock waves generated by our collision, part of the imperial pce had already been destroyed.
Its not good this way.
Ssosia could restore everythingter, but it was still undesirable to fight here.
I decided to stop for a while and step back.
The teacher decided not to close the distance between us, too. Instead, he held his ground and waited.
What do you teach? I asked while we were both free.
Biology.
Biology?! And that woman, if I heard correctly, is teaching home economics?
Yes.
Biology and home economics. What a strangebination. Your bodys also strange.
The wounds he sustained from my wings of the righteous hero quickly healed.
I have mastered biology. Hence, my body is constantly evolving. My leukocytes have neutralized your anti-clotting poison by developing immunity against them.
Ah
I met a like-minded person!
Student Kang Han Soo, you deserve credit for being able to get stronger without relying on skills. I even want to tell other students who rely only on skills and the Holy Sword about you.
Oh? Thank you for thepliment.
But no matter how excellent a student you are, I cannot forgive you for rebelling against your teachers. Youre also too arrogant despite your modest results, and youve begun to oppress the weak.
Modest results?
Exactly. Your meager knowledge was only enough to make small changes in your body. I shall show you that there is another heaven above the heavens.
You have a way with words.
He probably could handle other subjects with his fluentmunication skill.
Dont even think about trying to assault Home Economics Teacher. Follow me to the roof, where we can fight in full force. If youre confident in your abilities, that is.
You seriously speak well.
It was such a childish provocation, but I decided to y along.
Meager knowledge?
How could he speak like that about Master Mons teachings! One word from Master Mon, and he would be finished.
I epted his challenge.
Follow me, student Kang Han Soo.
The way you talk makes me think you were quite the bully during your high school years, Biology Teacher.
Yes, I used to get into a lot of fights.
I see.
And he dared say I oppressed the weak.
We stood opposite each other on the roof of the imperial pce.
This roof would be fine even if an asteroid were to fall on it, so I thought our battle wouldnt be able to do anything to it.
Ill show you why I teach biology!
You talk too much
Haaaaaaaa!
With his legs spread wide and knees slightly bent, Biology Teacher screamed with all his might, and changes immediately began to ur in his body.
His green hair turned white and shot up like thorns.
infuriating. The sneaky teacher knew all about every guys dream.
I didnt wait for him to finish his transformation, though.
I grabbed his white-dyed hair with both hands andunched my knee against his jaw with all my might.
Youre toote.
Thats one quick transformation.
In the cartoons I watched as a child, assuming that form took about 20 minutes!
Biology Teacher spat out blood after his jaw got hit by my knee. Youre deeply mistaken if you think you learned something useful from that ordinary slime.
Hes no ordinary slime.
You should learn from me, the greatest teacher of biology, instead of an ordinary slime.
He caught my wrist with his left hand, and with his right, he swung at me, targeting my face.
With my wrist bound, it became difficult to avoid it.
But I wasnt nning on dodging anyway.
Before the teachers fist came close to my face, I headbutted him, causing our foreheads to collide.
Kh?!
Trying to recover from the blow, he stepped back.
With my hand now freed, I immediately tried to finish him off with a second blow, but he recovered and dodged in the blink of an eye.
Clutching his forehead, he shouted, This cant be! Your skull is stronger than mine?! Impossible! Who do you think you are?!
What a stupid question!
My neck became a little numb due to the impact of our collision, so I slightly stretched my 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae with my left hand.
This is the power of Master Mons teachings.
Mon Revtion: Chapter 1, Verse 3.
With their eyes, they looked, but blindly so. With their ears, they listened, but deafly so.
Chapter 320 - [21st Round] Weight Class
Chapter 320 - [21st Round] Weight ss
The teachings of a clumsy slime? Thats not even funny! If you want to taunt me, be honest and say this is your ability, foolish Demon Lord!
KRRR!
Biology Teacher, who returned his bent skull to its original state, lost his temper.
He simply couldnt admit that Master Mon was better than him.
How disgusting.
Shut up!
Prove it with your skills, not your mouth
Haaaaaahhhh!
Noticing signs that he was about to transform again, I instantly took a spatial jump to ensure I wouldnt bete this time.
But an incredible phenomenon distracted my attention.
The teachers white hair suddenly fell out.
Hair loss, to use a more noble terminology.
Inymans terms, baldness.
The light reflected from his shiny scalp blinded me.
The horror
Bang!
I was so surprised that I involuntarily gave him time toplete his transformation and throw a punch to my stomach before I could hit him.
I actually felt it this time.
Fshuh!
Using my wings, I jumped back, but that didnt mean I would just rest.
Bang!
I struck another blow.
This time, however, I was no longer aiming to surprise him with speed. I delivered a powerful hook coated with dark matter.
CRRR!
Biology Teachers jaw, which the distortion of space had shattered, instantly recovered.
Hmph! Is that all?
I heard an arrogantugh and received a kick to my side almost at the same time.
Bang!
I felt the pain w its way through my spine!
Hmm
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
Ipressed space, breaking the distance between us.
Were my ribs broken?
This was like the first time since my dear friend Noebius unterally beat me with his Taekwondo.
His honest and courteous fighting style, in which opponents took turns exchanging blows, reminded me of Sword King Alex from the 4th curriculum.
Your thoughts are correct. During the 2nd curriculum, when Alex was still a Hero candidate, I taught him how to fight. He forgot my lessons after he was killed by Demon Lord Pedonar, which caused him to lose his memory, but he still instinctively follows them.
So it was you.
It was the Biology Teacher who turned Sword King Alex into a barbarian.
Bulky muscles that seemed about to burst like a balloon, smooth bald head, and swollen veins
He truly did look like a savage barbarian.
Im not a barbarian! I have be the pinnacle of evolution! When you reach this evolutionary stage, mating bes unnecessary. Therefore, thick hair, which women like so much, also bes useless.
Hey! Say something!
Well At least you really became stronger.
My bones were still ringing.
I cant revert everything from this transformation, which means regrowing my hair will take hundreds of years.
Oh
Be prepared, Kang Han Soo. You will now feel the full power of a perfect being!
Wait!
What?
I want to make a substitution.
Substitution?
Look up.
Up? Ah! What is that ming flesh?!
How crude.
That was the cutest creature in all of Fantasy.
Wah!
BAM!
Captain Fantasys sturdy ass, falling from the sky like an asteroid, crushed Biology Teacher.
? Perplexity: My senior looked pretty strong after he turned into a bald barbarian
Its all an act, Trainee Teacher!
I could admit that he had be quite strong despite his pathetic and vulnerable scalp.
But people should never forget why weight sses existed.
The bigger one was, the stronger they were.
No matter how hard the anchovy tried, it wouldnt be able to defeat the blue whale.
Did that person who pretended to be a biology teacher not know such basic knowledge?
This is really disappointing, isnt it, Biology Teacher?
Crushed by Captain Fantasys ass, he didnt answer.
He was pressed in like an ancient fossil. His bones, strengthened as a result of his final evolution, allowed him to retain the shape of his body, but his biological activity hadpletely stopped.
Of course, his death wasnt permanent.
Art Teacher and Biology Teachers souls could no longer return to the faculty lounge, however, which meant they would be used as teaching aids instead
In the form of the Herospanions.
For them to get their jobs back, the director would need to oust Ssosia and me and retake control of the system.
That aside
The Imperial Pncese to an end The Giant Empires once-mighty infrastructure turned into a squashed cake when Captain Fantasy flopped on it.
I didnt want to do this, but I was left with no other choice. Ssosia would just have to fix it.
It didnt seem that sad, though, did it?
Even before Captain Fantasy was summoned, the giants had fled the building due to the ensuing turmoil.
Wah!
He used to stand on his two plump legs, but he changed after gaining the Essence of Fire by swallowing Phoenix, the First Elf.
Fshuh!
Spreading his fiery wings, he flew into the air.
Its that baby!
What? Baby?
Really!
The baby descended from the heavens!
Long live the divine baby!
The delighted giants who recognized Captain Fantasy, who first appeared 2,000 years ago, gave him a thunderous ovation.
He was quite popr.
I decided to let him wander around for a bit instead of immediately making him go back.
Dont shout too much.
Wah.
And dont take anything from the ground and eat it!
Wah!
I think youll be alright.
It was time to find Home Economics Teacher.
I had spent too much time pretending that I was caught up in the childhood provocations of Biology Teacher.
? Anxiety: Her dishes have always been delicious. Other wives criticized her for her uselessness in battle, but I immediately saw her true worth when we first met. She delighted friends andpanions with her cooking. That is more important than battles.
Thanks for the interesting story, Fugitive Senior.
However, Home Economics Teacher being useless in battles couldnt be farther from the truth.
They look like food scattered all over the ce
The giant warriors who tried to prevent her from escaping from the imperial pce were neatly cut into equal slices, turning them into steaks.
One shouldnt look down on her just because she was a nonbat cook.

? F: Can cook well.
It was all about the G-rank effect.
The ability to cook anything.
There was no rule prohibiting her from using giants as ingredients for cooking, which meant she could beautifully slice them like she just did now.
That was a good way to fight.
? Shock: How does she do it with her delicate hands
Just imagine how she twists the head of a chicken or guts a fish with her graceful hands, Fugitive Senior.
Only instead of chicken and fish, she now sliced giants.
? Depression: Say no more
As he struggled to recover, I focused on locating Home Economics Teacher as fast as I could.
It wasnt hard to find her, though.
I just needed to follow the giants corpses.
As expected, at the end of it
Aaaaaghhh!
Wait. This wasnt what I expected.
Like a bug whose limbs were ripped off by a curious child, Home Economics Teacher was being torn apart.
Only her head hadnt been separated from her torso.
If she were an ordinary person, she would have died long ago.
I didnt need to find who did it. The perpetrator was right in front of me.
I wondered where a giant as colossal as you were hiding, but you werent hiding at all.
I thought Giant King Phoenix, having grown for 2,000 years, would be as huge as a young Noebius.
But that wasnt the case.
He was no different from an ordinary elf.
He spoke, his tone bold.
What made you think I was going to hide, Hero?

The Giant King Phoenixs cheeky smile grew wider when he noticed I checked his skills.
Biting on the Home Economics Teachers juicy thighs as if it was a chicken leg, he raised a question.
You came for this woman, right, Hero?
Since you know, stop eating her already. Someone already owns her meat.
What would Fugitive Senior think if he saw this scene?
? Rage: How dare he! Junior! Kill him now!
Dont worry. Everythings going to be fine.
I opened a hole in space.
And Home Economics Teacher, who only had her torso and head left intact, fell into it.
No, wait.
Almost fell into it.
Wow
Giant King Phoenix grabbed her by the hair within a split second.
Heughed. I cant just let go of this intruder, Hero. How many of my subjects do you think this woman killed? As emperor, Im responsible for their deaths.
So?
Defeat me, and then you can take her.
Well, thats easy.
Haha! Hero! If you think I am as helpless as I was 2,000 years ago, youd be greatly mistaken. While you were sealed, I was constantly evolving, which ultimately allowed me to reach my current state!
BRRRR!
Giant King Phoenix, who until now was just the size of a normal human, began to grow by leaps and bounds.
He grewrger, seemingly endlessly.
He wasnt as big as Noebius at the end of his life, but he was huge enough to be mistaken for a mountain range if hey on the ground.
This was his true form, which he assumed upon deactivating his ability to be smaller.
His eyes shone like two moons in the sky, but his gaze wasnt focused on me.
He was ring at the baby, whom the Giant Empires inhabitants were admiring in the distance.
Ca! Pi! Tan! Fan! The! See! Phoenix roared, his cry echoing throughout the Southern Continent.
The sweetest child in all of Fantasy didnt hesitate to answer.
Weeeh?
Come on! For two millenniums, I have been waiting for this moment! Today is the day I exact vengeance for the humiliation you gave me!
Uh-ah?
Stupid baby! Is your head only for decoration? Remember me already!
Wooo!
Captain Fantasy, who finally remembered him, flew towards the Giant King Phoenix, pping his fiery wings.
Phoenix was twice his size.
Are you ready? He shouted and jabbed the tip of his finger into the clumsy Captain Fantasys chubby cheek.
At that moment
Woooo!
The two pairs of wings on Captain Fantasys back began to shrink.
And the smaller his wings became, the more his body grew.
Soon enough, Giant King Phoenixs finger, which was previously buried in Captain Fantasys cheek, now reached only his plump thighs.
Raising his head to look up at him, he spoke in a low voice.
What a big baby
Whoooo.
It seems you still have room to grow. Perhaps we can just forget past grievances
Wooooo-ah!
Have mercy Aaaaaghhh!
With the help of Giant King Phoenix, who admired the infants fluffy butt, Home Economics Teacher was safely deposited into my Demon Vault.
Due to a surprising diet, she even lost a bite of weight.
Are you satisfied, Fugitive Senior?
? Anger: Dont call it a diet!
It was time to head east!
Chapter 321 - [21st Round] Social studies?
Chapter 321 - [21st Round] Social studies?
There were six teachers left.
And I had no time left to waste.
The Eastern Continent was made up of severalrge and small inds.
The waters depth between its inds was shallow, preventing sea monsters from appearing in their gaps, but megalodons lived in their marine ecosystem, waging wars against mermaids.
Megalodons wererge and voracious sharks, but they obviously werent the Cenozoic fossils from Earth but ordinary marine animals. I only called them that for convenience.
Locals called them storm sharks because of their tendency to crash into ships at high speeds, like battering rams.
Bang! Bang!
Crrrr!
A storm shark often charged in with its entire mass, piercing the ships hull and ultimately forcing humans into the waters.
Aaaaahhh!
Somebody help us!
S-save me!
After that, it would begin its hunt, but it didnt always get enough victims to feed itself.
After all, most sailors were young and strong men. True to their instincts, mermaids didnt allow the sea monster to devour them.
I will save you~?
You have such a wide chest~?
Leave your body to me~?
Many of their kind died fighting the colossal beast, but their numerical advantage often allowed them to emerge as the victors.
They didnt even bother counting their losses.
They got their hands on delicious sailors, after all.
Squeezing thest drop of male humans brought them batches of good offspring.
And, of course
Pha! S-save me!
Im tired~?
Im the most beautiful princess in the kingdom! Pha! I crossed the sea to marry a charming prince
Really~?
Huh Im choking Im not
Gender discrimination in this world was just awful.
The probability of a man returning to the ground in two months after falling into the sea orke was around 80%.
That left only a 20% chance hed disappear forever, which was only possible if he was too beautiful or, on the contrary, too ugly.
However, the probability of womens survival was about 2% and less than 0.1% for beauties.
How could they be so cruel!
I looked away from the scene of brutal gender discrimination in the middle of the sea.
The Eastern Continent is still the same.
The only thing that changed was that the cursed dragon, which was supposed to be one of the Five Great Disasters, now enjoyed normal family life.
Queen of Wisdom Malfaricia.
But the destination I was flying to wasnt that lizards nest.
I was interested in Ind E, thergest ind in the east, and Ind W in the west, where there was extensive trade with the Trade Republic of the Central Continent.
? Outrage: Why do you change these beautiful inds names with stupid ones? The Eastern Continent consists of fourrge inds. Orkan in the north, home to most dragons, Lune in the east, known as the dwarves territory, Bakum in the west, the center of trade andmerce, and Rulba in the south, a haven for pirates.
Thanks for talking about their names that Ill forget in a second, Fugitive Senior.
Since Ind W conducted active sea trade, pirates constantly visited it.
And now the pirates attacked the merchants exactly where I was going.
Take everything!
Throw the men into the sea, and take the women onto the ship!
Captain! A storm shark is approaching!
Damn it! Why now? Prepare for a collision!
Buuhhh!
Crrrr!
The pirate ship split in two.
Aaaaaahhh!
Mom!
Ssh! Ssh!
Pirates fell from their vessel into the water.
They tried to retaliate using their cannons and magic, but it wasnt enough to y the megalodon.
This situation often happened in this continent.
God~?
It seems that you need help~?
I will save you~?
Sea mermaids gathered upon sensing men had fallen overboard and into their waters.
It would naturally lead to a battle between the mermaids and the megalodon, which I nicknamed aptly so for one more reason.
Megaaaaaah!
They usually moved silently, but they immediately released those roars whenever they encountered mermaids, their natural enemies.
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
If I were to describe the battle between the megalodon and the mermaids gracefully, Id say it was like throwing many eggs at a stone in a pitiful attempt to break it.
But this time, it was different.
Ha-ah!
Megaaaah?!
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
The monster died after a sea mermaids golden trident pierced through it, causing its blood to taint the clear waters.
Fugitive Senior immediately perked up.
? Memory: That trident is the weapon I gave to one of my wives, a sea mermaid. It is an extremely powerful armament made with 2% romantium, one of the two most precious metals in the universe. Hundreds of dwarves took turns to finish it before my wifes birthday.
That was really romantic!
I thought I finally understood why the dwarves and Malfaricia hated Fugitive Senior so much.
That aside
Hey, Miss Fishy.
Wow! I found a cute male~?
Dont even try to snuggle your slimy skin against me, fish brain, unless you want me to kick your ass.
The way you speak is so cool~?
I came across this frequently. These stupid fishes didnt know how to conduct normal human conversations.
I wanted the golden trident, a Chaos Artifact, not a sea mermaid.
If I showed it to my seniors subordinates, theyd be able to track the teacher who owned it.
I wondered if I could do without it this time as well, though.
I extended my right hand towards the megalodons corpse.
[Darkness]
My dark matter crushed the giant shark.
At that moment
Krrrr!
Just before its body copsed, its dorsal fin cracked, and a woman in a swimsuit jumped out of it.
? Excitement: Thats her! Theres no mistake about it. I can spot her fantastically smooth and seemingly eternally oiled skin from miles away!
This beautiful woman was the wife of Fugitive Senior, who loved all females, regardless of race.
But why was she hiding in the megalodons stomach?
? Suggestion: Perhaps she tried to approach the Chaos Artifact without being noticed by cadet Kang Han Soo?
Oh! I think Trainee Teachers right! You truly have such a beautiful mind, body, and soul!
If so
There must be a trainer nearby who can control megalodons. Oh! Before anything else, I need that trident. Give it to me.
Wonderful gentleman~ Spend a hot night with me Huh?!
Hand it over now, or else Ill spend a hot night with you by turning you into soup!
Oh, great~ Your rudeness is just perfect for my taste~ Youre making my heart beat even faster~?
Stupid fish
Nevertheless, I took the golden trident from her.
I focused my gaze on my seniors wife.
Fast.
Very fast!
It would be an exaggeration if I were to say she moved at the speed of light, but she was still the fastest mermaid I had ever seen.
Was she the swimming teacher?
It doesnt matter. You cant hide from me.
No matter how fast she moved in the water, she was no better than a fish trapped in arge aquarium.
She knew that if I took the trident back to my seniors subordinates, shed be caught no matter where she hid.
We were basically ying a game of hide and seek.
If I caught her before the inspection teams arrival, victory would be mine, and if she remained inactive and hid until then, victory would still be mine.
I was curious about what her next move would be.
Megaaaaaaah!
Megaaaaah!
Megaaaaaaaaah!
As if to surpass my expectations, countless megalodons pounced on me.
That was yet another fish brain move.
I just took to the skies.
Last I checked, megalodons were still marine animals. They couldnt fly.
It would be possible to exterminate them all for interfering with my work as the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, but I decided to avoid it to preserve the seas ecosystem.
Megaaaaaaahhhhhh
Megaaaaahhh
Megaaah
Under an unidentified beings control, the gigantic sharks tried to hunt me down while I was hovering in the air, only to ultimately fail.
Still, I couldnt just leave everything like this.
Its time to get some work done, Soul Spirit King.
I ordered him to free their minds.
Pop? Pop!
The Soul Spirit King stopped sexually harassing me and demonstrated his power.
The megalodons, who wasted their stamina and time pointlesslyunching themselves out of the water to catch me, finally calmed down.
Since the situation seemed to have been sorted out, I decided to catch Fugitive Seniors fish wifeter.
Time to go to the next
Pshshshshsh!
As I was about to turn back, a water column soared into the sky, with something seemingly riding its current.
What was in this pir?
It didnt look like another megalodon trying to bring me into the sea.
Well, just in case
I stabbed my Holy Sword at the colossal beast that dared attack me.
[Spine]
But something strange happened.
My attack had no effect.
Bang!
Ssh!
I received a blow so powerful to my body that I shot back down into the water.
What is it this time?
Kraaaaah!
Ah so its the Kraken.
As soon as I heard its cry, I immediately realized what kind of strange creature it was.
Kraken.
If megalodon was just a big shark, this huge abomination was the perfect embodiment of sea monsters.
I thought what I attacked with my Holy Sword was a pir, but it was actually just one of its tentacles.
Yes. It was an octopus.
The Kraken was a mollusk, so my perfect Holy Sword, made to punish spines, had no effect on it.
I didnt like this.
You are nothing but a wild animal for me to watch for entertainment, student Kang Han Soo.
When the Kraken rose above the water level, I saw a man on its head.
He had the Teacher profession.
I decided to ask about his identity.
Who are you?
Shouldnt you be addressing me as a teacher, student Kang Han Soo? Even animals are more polite than you are.
Do you also teach ethics and morality?
Sociology is my subject. I teach heroes how to get along in society. Dont think of me as a zookeeper. Keeping pets is simply one of the easier ways to learn about society. I mainly conduct psychotherapy by gifting cute pets to heroes with social anxiety disorder, misanthropy, sociopathy, and panic disorder symptoms.
Stop lying.
Due to my ipetentpanions, my 1st round became extremely difficult. However, I never once received a cute pet as a present.
I tried. I swear.
I dont remember anything like that.
Of course you dont. You kept identally turning the cute creatures into experience points. After 25 attempts, I gave up.
Let me end our conversation by enlightening you a bit. I can control various creatures, and I chose to use the Kraken against you since its perfect for countering your divine power.
It is indeed.
Great choice.
The Kraken had no spine and could withstand the vibrations of dark matter.
Sociology Teacher was well prepared!
To hunt animals, you need to know their behavior and weaknesses. Student Kang Han Soo, if you dont want to get hurt, give me Swimming Teachers trident immediately.
So youre saying youve studied me?
Thats right.
Hahaha! Thats a tant lie!
You wille to your senses when you realize the bitterness of defeat against the might of the Kraken.
Ill exin why I know youre lying.
You can try.
First and foremost, Im not a sociopath, so I have no need for cute pets. Second, you clearly didnt study me all that well. Third, the proof of my words will fall on your little octopus now.
He was lying, but I wasnt.
My alter ego, revered in the Giant Empire, had just arrived.
The embodiment of cuteness himself!
Captain Fantasy crushed the tiny mollusk and its chubby tentacles.
Wow.
Kraaaaaahhh?!
How do you stop this cute baby, Sociology Teacher?
Chapter 322 - [21st Round] Chemical extermination!
Chapter 322 - [21st Round] Chemical extermination!
? Farewell: Ill be raising a cute pet from now on, seniors. Swimming might be a problem for me, but Ill study hard enough so you all will be able to rely on me.
Sociology Teacher died with his pupils.
Kraken, Leviathan, Behemoth, Garuda, Charybdis, Ganesha, Hydra, Phoenix
I was worried they would give me problems, but Captain Fantasy swiftly solved all of my problems for me.
As for Swimming Teacher
I shouldnt do this~? I have a man whom I love Youre a student, and Im a teacher But my body wont obey me~?
? Warning: Junior! I will never forgive you if you even touch her!
Im not even interested in this fish, Fugitive Senior.
As soon as Swimming Teacher smelled my pheromones in the water, she lost control over her instincts, causing her to sail straight into my arms and allowing me to store her in the Demon Vault with ease.
Next
I needed to visit the Mercenary Kingdom.
Is there a Chaos Artifact there too, Drug Hero?
Yes.
I didnt know what it was, but it had something to do with the Fugitive Seniors wife, like the golden trident.
Shadow A, hiding in my shadow, exined it in greater detail.
Queen of Wisdom Malfaricia hated the First Hero, so she put all his things up for auction. For those who couldnt wield the power of chaos, Chaos Artifacts were useless, which is why they can still be up for auction.
Most of the auction houses were concentrated here, considering it was the center of trade on the Eastern Continent.
The Mercenary Kingdom was a unique country founded by mercenaries.
I might even meet with the Mercenary King.
The Mercenary King was a versatilepanion who covered Sword King Alexs shorings.
Camping, Leadership, Strength, Escort, Scouting, Wisdom, Vignce, Cooking, Hunting
He was amazing at everything except magic.
He mainly worked on the Eastern Continent, but he also expedited to other continents if one were to pay him enough.
But
He was overly cautious and attached great importance to security for quite a long time. As wise as it seemed, it still wasnt in line with the qualities of a hero that the faculty members wanted to see, which is why he wasnt chosen as one.
Thank you for telling me about his boring past, Shadow A.
As she said, the Mercenary King was extremely cautious.
He was powerful, but his true strength wasnt often revealed during quests, leading heroes to neglect him in adventures.
There were many otherpanions on the Eastern Continent besides him.
Knight King, Assassin King, Pirate King, Bandit King, Merchant King, Sea Dragon Queen, Wind Dragon Queen, Golden Dragon Queen, Dwarf King
If one were to search, they would probably find more.
However, I remembered the Mercenary King since he stayed with me until the very end of my first round.
BOOM!
A violent explosion soon caused the ground to shake.
The other teachers had probably already heard the news about their colleagues losing ground, forcing them to act more aggressively.
The explosion urred in one of the many auction houses right in the middle of one of the Mercenary Kingdoms cities.
I had no doubts left.
Im at the right ce.
I hid the wings of the righteous hero and rushed to the center of themotion.
Just as its name suggested, the Mercenary Kingdom had thergest number of mercenaries in all of Fantasy. Due to that, conflicts often happened here.
But they werent this destructive.
Nobody wanted topletely destroy their home. Anyone who would go out of control was immediately pacified.
But something different was happening right now.
Someone unstoppable had appeared.
? Excitement: Junior! This unique magic is definitely hers!
Thanks for confirming the identity of the vicious criminal, Fugitive Senior.
The downtown bomber didnt care about civilian casualties. Following the trail of ruination they left behind, it didnt take long for me to find them.
As before, I found a couple: a man and a woman.
In principle, from what I saw earlier, it was probably safe to assume that as soon as my senior ran away from home, his wives entered into a rtionship with their colleagues.
He had over 500 ex-wives in the entire universe, and there was no rule prohibiting them from dating anyone else.
? Denial: It cant be! Absolutely not! Never! This is all silly spection!
I didnt know where his confidence wasing from, but for the sake of our wonderful alliance, I was prepared to pretend that he was right.
? Depression: I believe it, even though I understand that its too greedy to do so.
Dont cry, Fugitive Senior.
? Sigh: You shouldnt ruin other peoples hopes and dreams.
Haha! Dont worry. Everything will be fine!
While I was strengthening our bond, the chaos around me continued to wreak havoc.
Numerous mercenaries guarding the auction house were burned down to their very bones.
This was the unique magic he was talking about.
I grew curious.
Haha! I beg your pardon, teachers! Did you think Ill let you destroy everything and get away with it? Did you think Ill let you leave this devastation youve caused unscathed?
Student Kang Han Soo?
The new Demon Lord
The duo, finally noticing me, stopped their excessive destruction.
Next to them were familiar faces.
The Mercenary King, Knight King, and the corpses of the Assassin King, Bandit King, and Merchant King.
The Mercenary Kings beard was the only burned part of his body.
The Knight King looked fine thanks to his full armor and high defensive skills, but the shield he held in his hand had been melted by half.
Except for these two, all the others had been turned into charred coals, making it difficult to discern even their gender, let alone their appearance.
How did I recognize them?
? Race: Human
? Level: 0
? Job: Thief (Weak Luck )
? Skills: Dagger Mastery Z, Stealth Z, Disguise Z, Sneak Attack MAX, Stealth SSS
? Status: Burned, Dead
Thanks to the Bandit Kings skills, which I memorized on my 1st round, I managed to identify him.
The same went for the Merchant King and the Assassin King.
They specialized in areas that didnt involve direct confrontation, causing them to quickly turn to embers while fighting the teachers.
Curious, I just had to ask them a very specific question.
Are you crazy?
Why were the teachers burning teaching aids?
An inspection team would soon appear, trying to absorb the Fantasy Institution, and here they were getting rid of the heroespanions, which were necessary for the growth of their love and friendship.
Righteous teachers would never do that.
Im sure youre aware, student Kang Han Soo! Youre murdering teachers!
Dont misunderstand. If we really wanted to kill them, the Mercenary King and the Knight King wouldve already been reduced to ashes by now. The ones we got rid of were those addicted to the cult youve spread.
Both of them immediately offered ridiculous excuses.
Only I, the Head of Fantasy, have the right to decide which textbook or teacher is worth getting rid of.
Youre not the director!
How dare you!
They attacked me first.
They talked to me only to buy time to prepare powerful magic, a strategy my father-inw used.
BOOM!
They set off another explosion, paying no heed to the destruction theyd cause.
I pounced on the teachers, ignoring their futile attempts just as much.
Hmmm?
Shhhh!
BOOM!
I felt like I just stepped on a mine. Immediately after that, great heat rose under my feet, and a sh of light soon devoured everything around me and threw me to the side.
I heard the faint voice of a teacher the moment Inded.
Haha! I am an expert in and teach Magic Engineering. How do you like my special mines?
So he was the one who made it.
Im not impressed.
Pretend to be calm while you still can. My mines are just the beginning. Its time I teach you the basics of my subject.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!
Brrrrr!
Armed golems appeared all over the ce, equipped with firearms that didnt suit Fantasys theme.
Unfortunately for him, none of his futile resistances mattered.
Click!
I snapped my fingers, and his technological masterpieces turned into expensive scrap metal.
I said it wasnt impressive.
What the hell
Before the first apostle of Mons Teachings, all these technological delights are nothing.
Step aside, Engineering Teacher!
Chemistry Teacher?
Ill deal with him myself!
Engineering Teacher stepped back with his ipetence, and the woman next to him stepped forward fearlessly.
Chemistry Teacher, you say?
? Warning: Be careful with her. Even during my adventures, she always pulled all the finances from me to conduct her research. After defeating the Demon Lord, she began to receive benefits from the Institution, advancing even further in her profession. Her unique magic,bining magic and chemistry, is really powerful!
Are you trying to show your wife off, Fugitive Senior?
I already witnessed firsthand that her magic was powerful.
All the fireballs sheunched at me used nuclear fission to increase their firepower.
How did I know about this?
Dont spread radiation!
Progresses with sacrifice. Engineering Teacher, help me.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Crrrr!
Barrel-like objects were fired in my direction, which then burst like balloons, releasing all kinds of bacteria.
It was a biological weapon known even on Earth.
It wouldnt work on me, who could be called a walking antibiotic that had withstood even the poisonous breath of my dearrade Noebius.
But
This is haaaaaghh?!
Whats happening Bueeeehhh?!
The Mercenary King and the Knight King screamed painfully and died.
Well, thats unfortunate for them. Hmm? What toy did you bring out this time?
Pshshshsh!
Chemistry Teacher shot me using what looked like a water cannon.
She had already used nuclear and biological weapons.
I didnt know what kind of weapon it was this time, but it was useless.
The games were over.
Fshuh!
Cutting space itself, I found myself right in front of her face.
The time hade to punish their spines using my wings.
However, I froze as soon as I reached her.
Hohoho! How does my liquid nitrogen feel? It boasts of extremely low temperatures that cannot be achieved with ordinary magic!
Im not impressed.
How can you move?! Kh!
Ill exinter.
I first had to take my payment for the spinal surgeries Id soon conduct.
S-save
Engineering Teacher, unable to escape from my hand locked around his spine, was exposed to poisonous gas and radiation.
He died painfully fighting the spores and boils that were growing all over his body.
Chemistry Teacher already developed immunity, so she was fine.
? Denial: Junior! Shes not okay! Back! Her back!
Dont worry, Fugitive Senior. Her spine is chemically stable.
As her face grew paler, she asked me a question.
Kh how did you neutralize liquid nitrogen?
Oh! Right. I took my fee,pletely forgetting to answer her.
I wanted to exin, but
Dont be in such a hurry, Chemistry Teacher. Listening to a MAX-ss lesson with your colleagues is way more fun than doing it alone, right?
What Ah?! Back! My back!
Its alright. I checked.
The Mercenary Kingdom was contaminated with bacteria and radiation.
My MAX-ss wife would once again have to cope with the consequences of their actions.
Where to go next
Pffff.
Hey! Dont look at me, Drug Hero! Noble spirits do not fart!
I didnt say anything.
I looked east.
It was pretty close, so I felt certain.
The vibration I was feeling came from the activation of a Spatial Transportation Magic Circle.
Its not my niece.
If so, then this had to be the handiwork of that great pretender, Lanuvel!
Hmm! I cant just turn a blind eye to this vibration!
I made my way to the Dwarf Kingdom, where Malfaricia, the Queen of Wisdom, stayed.
Chapter 323 - [21st Round] Fantasy’s Wrath
Chapter 323 - [21st Round] Fantasys Wrath
Kingdoms and royal families, guarded by dragons, had enjoyed fame and honor from generation to generation.
In the world of Fantasy, that was the absolute truth.
The Dwarf Kingdom had changed a lot since we transitioned to the 5th curriculum.
Although it already did well during the 4th curriculum, it flourished even more in the 5th curriculum, where flush toilets had be widespread.
It was also thanks to the dragons protection.
In the 4th curriculum, dragons that served as guardians of countries disappeared because Noebius, the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Annihted them all.
Now, however, since Noebius slept peacefully for 2,000 years, many countries remained under the protection of dragons.
Hmph! Dragon protection. Drugs are much healthier!
I wont argue with that.
As the Addicted Spirit said, Guardian Dragons did little for humans.
However, it was precisely due to the fact that the country was protected by a powerful dragon that the people fully supported the ruling elites.
Dragons only made their move in the most extreme cases, like during a war that threatened the countrys independence, an uprising of the nobles, a terrible natural disaster, or a threat to the life of a ruler or a member of his family
Small threats were of little interest to them, and they intervened only if the countrys army couldnt cope with the situation by themselves.
If they were needed, however
They destroyed anyone who opposed their will.
The same was happening here.
Someone, presumably Lanuvel, summoned an alien again using a magic circle.
As a result, Malfaricia, the Queen of Wisdom, decided that a crisis had arisen in the Dwarf Kingdom, causing her to act as its Guardian Dragon.
Fshshshsh!
With a single p of her wings, this silver dragon caused a storm.
However, the enemy was also powerful.
Ignore Cursed King Malfart.
Look for the Dwarf Prince.
Look around. With his short legs, he cant run far.
Where is that dwarf hiding?
Search harder!
In total, there were five aliens who called the Queen of Wisdom Malfaricia by her old nickname, Cursed King Malfart.
Riding winged unicorns, they soared in the sky searching for the Dwarf Prince, ignoring the silver dragons attacks.
Hmmm. I couldnt understand their motives.
Why would anyone have a grudge against a dwarf who worked all day in his workshop?
I decided to ask.
I apologize.
Kh?!
As the MAX-ss Impartial Hero, I always polled everyone using one method.
Spines.
My name is Hero A, and I just happened to pass by. Anyway, I want to know something.
Kh! Demon Lord!
Do you know about me? I didnt think I was that famous.
That made me even more curious.
The Demon Lord is here!
The new Demon Lord?!
Yes, its him!
Well show you what graduates are capable of!
The intruders, previously looking for the Dwarf Prince, rushed at me, avoiding Wisdom Queen Malfaricias bombardment.
Were they so confident in their abilities?
I took a look at them.
? Race: Space Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Holy Fighter (Boxing = Divinity )
? Skills: Boxing ZZZ, Synergy ZZ, Punching ZZ, Sprint ZZ, Dexterity Z
? Status: Motivated, Gain, Fighting Spirit
Their status was really impressive.
Such was the strength of those who hadpleted Fantasys higher education courses.
The one I held by the neck was no worse than the other four.
But they were stupid.
You should have thought about why Graduate A, whom I am holding by the neck, is silent.
I didnt know what kind of life they led after graduating from school, but they didnt seem toe across strong predators like me all that frequently.
[Spine]
I threw Graduate A aside, taking care of his spine.
Using divine power to extract or disrupt spines was different from simply physically tampering with them. Without the same power, it was impossible to resist or repair a broken spine.
The Sword Princess was able to heal herself because I only caused simple dislocations and fractures instead of damaging her bones using divine power.
We are Fantasy Heroes!
The best of the best!
Can the Demon Lord even defeat us four at once?
We will show what were capable of together!
They decided to rally with the power of friendship.
They even reached the level of teachers in strength, but they still acted in an old-fashioned way.
What era was it now?
The dark age of the FFF-ss Demon Lord Pedonar, the sponsor of humanity, was over, and the golden age of the MAX-ss Demon Lord Parmamon had begun.
Pop!
Summoning my Perfect Holy Sword, punishing evil, I quickly dealt with the aliens trying to fight against me in closebat.
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
No fierce battle ensued.
Kh?
What?!
Ah!
There was only utter obliteration.
Three of the aliens who rushed at me with their swords or bare fists zing couldnt even understand what had happened.
Their body just became exhausted and drained, causing them to fall from their winged unicorns.
The reason was very simple.
A blow to the nerve between their 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae resulted in paralysis of their lower body.
No matter how manymands their brain sent to it, nothing would ever happen since I had cut off its connection with it.
? Admiration: This is really amazing. This is a deitys true power.
You have a lot to be proud of, too, beautiful Trainee Teacher!
? Embarrassment: Dont tease me. You havent even seen me.
The Max-Rank Righteous Deity knew no lies.
Right! The Drug Hero doesnt lie. Lies simplye out on their own whenever he opens his mouth, so Ah?!
It seems I have been negligent for far too long of punishing the Addicted Spirit with my fingers!
The Demon Lords Power was insignificant as it was borrowed from my father-inw along with his Dark Energy, but the Heros Power, which I acquired through my own efforts, was different.
It was 100% pure divine power.
Although it had its weaknesses, for example, when fighting invertebrates, those were just exceptions to the rule. In all other cases, it was an extremely effective force.
H-hik?!
The remaining alien, realizing that four of his colleagues had been instantly incapacitated, tried to escape.
His profession was Holy Archer.
He took cover behind his colleagues, using them as meat shields, and attacked from a distance.
I hated archers.
In films and cartoons, the heroes easily avoided the hail of arrows or bullets, but the reality was different.
Assuming one was level 100, they could still be easily killed by an arrow shot by a level 3 archer!
Where are you going? I asked, jumping up to him.
H-have mercy! We were only asked to deal with the Dwarf Prince! We werent nning on going against the new Demon Lord and Cursed King Malfart!
Who asked? Lanuvel?
No! It was a woman I didnt know! She introduced herself as Fantasys Wrath. Everyone hesitated at first due to her murky personality, but she offered us Solonium as payment, so we decided to fulfill her order. Im being honest! I swear!
Fantasys Wrath?
Alien E was telling the truth when he said Lanuvel wasnt using the magic circles.
If so, who was it?
I didnt even have a guess.
? Haste: Junior! I will find out who their customer is using my connections in the universe. You just devote yourself to the search! There are still four people left!
Fugitive Senior was right.
If the graduates didnt know her, chances were very high that even I, with 200 years of experience in the world of Fantasy, was unfamiliar with her as well.
If the customer were another alien, it would make sense.
Could it be a Monsoft agent?
But why did she introduce herself as Fantasys Wrath, then?
Okay, Ill trust you on this, Fugitive Senior.
? Pride: It wont take long. I also dont want the school that made me who I am now to disappear. So devote yourself to your quest! There are four targets left!
I, his MAX-ss Junior, knew that very well, so he didnt need to repeat it twice.
Ethics, Mathematics, Cooking, Swimming, Chemistry.
I had done a good job already. But the fact that there were still four of his ex-wives left was truly amazing.
There were too many cheerleaders in his squad.
Pshsh!
The silver-scaled lizard returned to her human form as she approached me, shouting in gratitude.
Great Hero!
Hello, Malfari.
I express my deepest thanks for your help! I thought I might lose the prince again because of the attack of these viins. My heart almost jumped out of my chest due to my fear.
As if to prove that this was no exaggeration, her breasts, wrapped in a thin silver cloth, swayed up and down.
Out of politeness, I asked. Are you alright?
Thanks to you, o great Hero, Im alive and well.
Thats good. I wish I could talk more, but Im busy right now. If you need help, just contact me.
Oh? Okay!
I was about to leave when I suddenly stopped.
Malfari.
Yes?
Meet the vampires of the Western Continent so they can hand over a monphone to you.
Monphone? What is it?
Youll know when you see it.
Since this is a request from the great Hero, I will unconditionally follow it. You seem to be thinking about a method ofmunication, so I will contact Archmage Shakespeare of the Western Continent as soon as possible to hand me a monphone.
You are truly the Queen of Wisdom.
Her title evidently wasnt just for theatrics.
I just threw a few words, but she immediately understood everything.
With a wide smile, she said, waving goodbye, For as long as I, the Guardian Dragon, live, the Dwarf Kingdom will always knock on the anvil in your honor, great Demon Lord.
***
Although I was dyed on the Eastern Continent due to minor alumni intervention, Fugitive Seniors army wasnt idle either.
On all five continents, they fought over the Chaos Artifacts.
Bang!
Clink!
Bam!
The teachers killed many of their soldiers.
Some of the teachers died, but the army of Fugitive Senior thinned out much faster.
We were in Fantasy, after all. They could do nothing about it due to their limited supply of resources.
? Discontent: Youre specting again, junior. I am the king of a gxy. Resources harvested from roughly 800,000s are being replicated by Android Soldiers on 3,000 artificials.
I dont need this knowledge, Fugitive King!
? Amazement: Do you have absolutely no respect for your sessful senior? Do not call me that!
Ignoring Fugitive Kings request, I moved further east.
Fantasy was a round.
If I flew further east, I would soon find myself on the Western Continent, where Connoisseur Shakespeare lived.
? Reminder: Death Maelstrom is ahead. This is the main obstacle blocking the sea route between the Western and Eastern Continents.
I see, Trainee Teacher. Thank you.
Amid the endless waters between the Eastern and Western Continents, a whirlpool revolved like the drum of a washing machine.
Lets go down there, Drug Hero!
Ive been there already.
The maelstrom led to an underwater vige called the Ship Graveyard, where the strongest guardian of the lived.
To get out of it, one needed the help of this creature.
I could get out by myself now, though.
Then lets take a look!
Im busy.
The President of the Universe whispered to me to go straight to the Western Continent but just passing by like this feltckluster and disappointing.
Therefore
Pop!
Wow?
I dropped the cutest bomb before I left!
Chapter 324 - [21st Round] Bakery
Chapter 324 - [21st Round] Bakery
? Anxiety: Was it worth it?
Dont worry, Trainee Teacher!
This guardian blocked trade between the Eastern and Western Continents.
Without the maelstrom he was guarding, my 1st round would have been two years shorter.
Plus, he was an idiot.
Our ship fell into his vortex on its way to the Western Continent.
Once he let us go, he could have thrown us in the direction of our destination.
But he brought us back to the Eastern Continent instead.
If this obstacle disappeared, it would benefit the heroes adventures.
Oh! We had arrived.
It happened so quickly since we crossed the endless waters without being disrupted by the whirlpool.
Western Continent of Fantasy.
In the past, it was a cold continent where, due to the abundance of Lucifers in the sky, not even a single ray of light could break through, but now it flourished just like the Central Continent.
I was even given a reception.
Wee to the Empire of Eternal Night. I am the daughter of Her Majesty the Empress and the Great Sage Shakespeare
Princess of Darkness.
Oh, uh Though I am a princess, Im not
Princess of Darkness.
I see how it is. Please, call me what you like, Demon Lord, answered the Princess of Darkness politely, standing on the deck of the flying ship built based on the principle of Orgata, which the directors grandson owned.
Inded on the deck with her.
Although I was in a hurry, I wasnt a savage who ignored warm greetings.
Besides
A hologram appeared in the air.
Lord of Demons and Hope, we have already collected the Chaos Artifacts for you. The teachers who appeared here tried to divert our attention by attacking residents and provoking me, but they are now hiding somewhere after their failure.
Not teachers, but some kind of robbers.
Although I didnt ask, the Connoisseur gave me the information I needed.
The hologram also showed the Western Continents epitome of beauty approaching him from behind and biting her husbands earlobe.
Ahem! The collected artifacts are on a flying ship. As soon as the teachers get close, we n on shooting them with the night sun, but they still havent taken the bait.
It turns out theyre notplete idiots.
Moreover, we havepleted preparations for the serial production of the Monphone you ordered.
Great job.
It is nothing special Ah! Honey, were talking about important matters right now.
My dear Shakespeare, my body and mind are hungry for you. You worked all day. Its time to rest.
Oh! Demon Lord! If there are any changes, I will contact you again!
Peep
The hologram disappeared.
Judging by the calm expression on the Princess of Darknesss face, she had be ustomed to such a passion of her parents.
On their behalf, I would like to apologize. My mom is especially problematic. I thought she would get better over time, but the fact that shes the empires ruler just gradually faded away from her mind instead. Well, my father is at least doing her work for her. Thanks to him, despite herzy governance, the empire enjoyed a quiet life for two millennia without any problems. However, she still doesnt seem to show even the slightest sign of correcting her behavior
She had a lot ofints.
I would advise her to get married to eliminate her envy, but the Princess of Darkness was apanion. After about 300 days, the world would be fixed, and if she were to get married, her chances of participating in the heroes adventures would be greatly reduced.
Deadly journeys were designed for bachelors and virgins. Married men and women wouldnt risk their lives in such a way.
If they had children, it would be even harder to convince them.
By the way, this flying ship is huge!
It was like floating aircraft carriers linked to each other like train cars.
Do you like it?
Very much so.
It resembled a spine.
Its designed by the Great Sage Shakespeare specifically for the Demon Lord. The ship is modeled after your sword, which looks like a spine, and is powered by a fully automatic system that does not require manual piloting. It is equipped with firepower capable of sinking any continent in a couple of seconds, but this requires huge amounts of resources, making long-term battles difficult.
This is great. Regression meant Id always be able to replenish my arsenal, so its inefficiency during wars of attrition had been canceled out.
Im d you like it.
Does it have a name?
Monfors.
Monfors?
Its a mixture of ancientnguages. Simply put, this is Mons Power.
Perfection!
Inside Monfors are factories for the production of androids and fighters, which makes up this vessels entire crew. Theyre currently inactive since they dont have the required materials to function, but they operate automatically.
The investment was worth it.
I sessfully brought a man to a woman together in the past, and now I savored the fruits of mybor.
Monfors.
I would need to test its firepowerter, but I had no doubts about its capabilities since Shakespeare was the one who invented it.
? Perplexity: The Phantom King Shakespeare I knew was just a vampire that fought using corpses and ghosts
Youregging behind, Fugitive Senior. Were already at the 5th curriculum.
The MAX-ss junior cleaned up all the mess his FFF-ss senior left behind in the past curriculums.
Monfors!
It was a very cool name that I would never get tired of!
? Nervousness: The mistakes of my youth disappeared along with my personal file. Now all that remains is to gather my ex-wives who can be considered witnesses of those times.
If he gave me his full support, I would make it happen.
Following the instructions of the Princess of Darkness, I scanned the Chaos Artifacts stored in Monfors conning tower.
But it didnt provide me with any useful information.
Only my senior knew if any of these were his wives belongings.
? Conclusion: Theres one. The red shoes with unusually high heels. I ordered them for my ex-wife, who hated her childish figure What?
It seemed race and nationally werent the only criteria Fugitive Senior didnt mind
He never ceased to surprise me.
We need to take these shoes to the Central Continent.
It might be possible to track down that teacher with a tiny physique.
? Depression: That wont happen, junior. Why do you think those shoes that make her taller were thrown away?
It looked like my senior had enough reasons to run away from home.
The Princess of Darkness handed me a new Monphone.
This is Monphone 2, which the summoned heroes will receive. Turning it on will automatically disy its user manual on its screen.
How cute.
The Demon Lords Monphone 2G is still in production. Once its done, we will contact you.
Good.
This concluded my business on the Western Continent.
I have moved all of the Chaos Artifacts, including the shoes, into my Demon Vault.
All that remained was to find the artifacts that Shakespeare missed.
Folding my wings, I jumped off of Monfors railings.
But I didnt just fall.
Fshuh! Fshuh! Fshuh!
Compressing space, I gradually changed the direction of my descent.
I didnt know my destination myself. I was just following the prompts of the President of the Universe, after all.
? Perplexity: Junior, no matter how much attention the universe pays to you, arent you too confident in your luck?
Luck? No, I was confident in every step I took.
p!
A crater should have formed around me, but I fell somewhere below ground instead, revealing a void under the earthsyer.
Although the Western Continents environment andndscape had changed radically due to the MAX-ss Righteous Matchmakers works, the worlds structure itself remained the same.
I knew this ce well.
Cave of Trials. I was here 200 years ago.
It was a secret ce that could never be found by anyone other than those who had the Hero trait. It was the same as the Training Cave hidden on the Northern Continent.
Since this ce was tied to the system, not even Shakespeare could find it. Even if he did, he wouldnt be able to get inside.
The same wouldve gone for me, but I was a hero.
I didnt use its actual entrance, but I got inside anyway.
? Surprise: So this is where my senior colleagues were hiding!
No wonder they managed to escape Shakespeares space bombardment. They had holed themselves up in here.
There was no better ce to use as a safe house.
Naturally, teachers werent heroes. However, they could enter as managers.
What a pity, student Kang Han Soo Many wouldve been delighted if you used your judgment for the good of the school.
Gardening Teacher, I know youre sorry, but this time youll have to give up. Hes been a terrible student from the start.
Geography Teacher! Be careful!
Dont worry. We arepletely safe here. Unlike him.
Just like the others, they were a coupleposed of opposite genders.
The female Gardening Teacher and the male Geography Teacher.
The way they looked at each other was unusual.
? Denial: Thats how colleagues normally look at each other! Stop making strange assumptions!
Leaving my senior alone for being unable to ept reality, I frowned as I looked around.
I triedpressing space, but it didnt work.
Geography Teacher seemed to be right in front of me, but I still couldnt reach him.
Anything you do will prove futile. I am the one who organizes adventures for students. I can easily predict your movements.
Predict my movements? Interesting.
I assumed you would get here. Although the way you prated through the ceiling was quite a surprise, it doesnt change anything. This ce is full of traps created to subdue you.
Theres hardly any in here.
With open arms, I weed all the traps I struggled to avoid in my first round.
Poisonous arrows, iron balls, hooks, mines, spikes, methrowers
They couldnt even scratch my current body, but still, this cave made my level drop.
That bothered me.
I tried to approach Geography Teacher bypressing the space around us once more.
[Space]
[Eight Trigrams]
But it didnt work.
Unlike the other teachers I could handle in this way, he was a divine apostle who borrowed power from God, just like Supervisor Bakery.
If I had the full power of the Demon Lord, there would be no problem, but right now, our powers neutralized each other.
Surrender now. As you may have guessed already, Im not just a geography teacher. I am a divine apostle. I have rendered it impossible for you to get out of here as I make you pay for your arrogance.
Nonsense.
Haha! Everyone can bluff Huh?!
Like I said, nonsense.
I threw my Perfect Holy Sword at Geography Teacher, striking him down.
Grabbing his back, he eximed, How is this possible?!
Isnt it natural?
The power that gave Geography Teacher a herniated disc wasnt borrowed from other gods.
[Spine]
This strength was my own.
You didnt know?
How could I know that? I only heard that you are an F-ss apostle of some god with a sore back!
Youre next, Gardening Teacher.
This is Parker Lees fault! His report has been falsified!
It seemed the faculty members were unaware of my strength up until now because of Supervisor Bakery.
Now it became clearer why they flocked here like moths dazzled by the light.
That being said
On your knees.
All spines bent in front of me.
Chapter 325 - [21st Round] The Food Chain
Chapter 325 - [21st Round] The Food Chain
I wanted to help him, but I didnt have enough time.
Gardening Teacher was an elf.
She was wearing clothes woven from green leaves, but she looked more like a girl who came to a nightclub than a gardener.
? Displeasure: Junior! Isnt one nce enough to know shes a noble wood elf? How can you still think shes the type to hang out with some nasty men all night after witnessing her elegance firsthand?
Hearing that from Fugitive Senior was weird, considering he was the perfect example of a nasty man.
Wearing clothing in the forest that exposed calves, thighs, and forearms was crazy.
Leaves and branches would easily scratch those areas, and insects wouldnt feast through those open wounds.
? Difort: I took care of her when she scratched her skin and was bitten by insects. Isnt that enough?
Fugitive Seniors worldview and philosophy would never cease to amaze me.
I approached Gardening Teacher.
But I couldnt get anywhere near her.
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
Tree roots burst from the ground and rushed towards me like tentacles.
Its just as I expected.
I ignored these roots and closed the distance between us bypressing space.
However, they blocked my view and interfered with my movement as they upied every inch around me.
I am in charge of gardening. I cannot fully teach gardening to students who cant stay in one ce that long due to their adventures, but I help them find the herbs they need. Thanks to Geography Teacher, I had enough time for my nts to germinate.
This is annoying
The cycle of nature cannot be stopped. While you are brutally destroying Mother Nature, the seeds I have nted will germinate and be part of her. nts have no backbones. It amazes me that youve be a deity and not an apostle, but that doesnt really matter in this battle.
Why are we having this conversation right now?
Force of habit. While Im taking care of flowers and trees, I often interact with the forest.
Really?
I alsomunicated with the spirits through my body quite frequently.
I called the Fire Spirit King.
Its time to work.
Upon receiving my order, he gave amand to the lower spirits with a gesture of his chin.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop
Three supreme spirits,manded by their king, gave orders to the top ten, and those, in turn, a hundred average, and those, a thousand
As a result, millions of fire spirits gathered
And started a forest fire!
My flora! How can you do something so terrible?!
To ovee evil, one must make sacrifices.
If so
Gardening Teacher, enraged by the incineration of her nts, sowed new seeds.
What sprouted out of the ground were purple flowers that I had never seen before.
As soon as the fire spirits smelled their scent, they immediately covered their noses with their hands and rushed away.
Bue-e!
Hey, damn spirit! Dont you dare vomit on my head!
You have no idea how terrible this stench is, Drug Hero! If I hadnt neutralized it with your scent, I wouldve fled like my children!
And it wasnt just the First Spirit that did it.
The Five Spirit Kings pressed their noses to my groin and armpits as if I were a gas mask.
The smelly purple flowers aroma easily extinguished the fire I started.
Their ashes will serve as fertilizer for the newer generations. Even your terrible crimes are nothing in front of Mother Nature.
What is that flower?
Its called
Im only interested in its effect.
It gives off a scent that spirits hate. In the entire universe, it grows only on this. This rare flower was on the verge of extinction because the elves, guided by the spirits, considered it a harmful poisonous nt.
Since the spirits cant handle it, how about this?
Fshuh!
I unfurled my wings, the tips of their bones, which were harder than Holy Swords, locked and loaded with spikes that punished all evil.
Iunched them at her nts.
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
In doing so, I executed the Righteous Heros justice, capable of instantly killing even dragons!
W-what is this Gardening Teachers voice trembled in shock.
Unable to withstand the justice of the MAX-ss Hero, her creations died.
This is justice!
Ah! My God! Such a terrible poison
Poison? This is justice!
My nts instantly wither upon getting even just slightly scratched by it!
Such is justice!
You really have no conscience, student Kang Han Soo! You just witnessed the death of beautiful verdure, and you still call it justice?! Gardening Teacher shouted in displeasure, refusing to recognize my power as justice.
This wasnt even my fault.
Compressing space, I instantly moved towards her.
There were no more nts to hinder me.
Her sinister vegetation could no longer grow in this ce, considering the spikes from my wings had covered its surfaces.
No seed can bloom here because you contaminated the entire ce, Drug Hero The Addicted Spirit said, having recovered from her nausea.
To defeat the evil members of the faculty, I must make sacrifices. Gardening Teacher herself said that the cycle of nature couldnt be stopped anyway.
Itll take a very long time
Maybe I should throw you in a field of those smelly purple flowers.
What Im trying to say is that I admire the Drug Heros justice!
Gardening Teachers condition was dire.
Her whole body was covered with scratches, especially her calves, thighs, forearms, and face, which werent protected by clothes.
Did you stumble?
She seemed to have fallen into a thorny bush, with the help of which she tried to fence herself off from me.
A-ah
Oh! I know this nt. Ive seen it often in dungeons. If the poison in your body isnt neutralized soon, youll be left with ck scars, regardless of your level and skill.
Wait
Fshuh!
I threw Gardening Teacher into my Demon Vault before she could finish her sentence.
She was probably trying to ask me to apply countermeasures against the ck scars that would soon appear all over her.
However, this MAX-ss Righteous Hero didnt negotiate with viins.
? Anxious: Junior! Dont leave scars on her body!
Haha! Youre funny. Healing a woman as vicious as her for free? You can just do it yourselfter.
He could just cut off some of her plump buttocks to get rid of them.
? Haste: No carving of flesh! Please help her now! She may just be an evil teacher to you, but shes one of my favorite wives!
Pathetic senior
I looked around.
If one got cut by that nts thorns, their skin pigmentation would be disrupted, resulting in a ck scar.
It wouldnt disappear even if they surgically removed the scarred skin and used healing magic on it since their damaged skin was considered normal by the system.
This effect was used to stigmatize criminals who hadmitted extremely grave crimesparable to high treason. Through it, the words Deprived of Human Rights were carved on their foreheads.
It only had two methods of treatment.
Skin grafting, and
Ill need to induce a natural excretion of pigments ording to the principle of osmotic pressure.
I grabbed the stem of the thorny vine with my bare hands and squeezed it out like a wet towel.
The green sap of the nt mixed with my red blood, spilling onto the ground.
Ibined the resulting mixture with sand to turn it into a thick paste.
? Question: What are you trying to do?
Simple folk remedy.
A professional herbalist would use a blend of specific herbs, but I didnt have that luxury right now.
Hence, I had to resort to a simplified method.
Pop!
After pulling Gardening Teacher out of the vault, I applied the freshly prepared product all over her body.
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!
She screamed in pain, but because of her broken spine, she couldnt even resist.
It would definitely hurt a lot.
I applied the sand mixture to her wounds and started rubbing it all over her.
As a result, the toxins from her wounds were infused with the juice of my concoction.
After that, I asked the water spirits to cleanse her wounds of the sand.
That was it.
Gardening Teachers body itself quickly recovered thanks to her high skills.
Except for her spine.
Ive applied first aid. Your wounds wont be scars now. Be grateful to your ex-husband.
What?
How do you know about this folk remedy, student Kang Han Soo? Its been forgotten since people preferred living with their scars instead of going through unbearable, hellish pain to remove them.
Thats a stupid question.
I had no money because of mypanions, but I wanted to somehow erase the ck letters on my forehead, so I had to learn how.
Sorry.
Huh? What are you doing all of a sudden?
Dont misunderstand me. Im not saying this for you to set me free. Just Im sorry. Im so sorry
It looks like your pain was unbearable too.
Fshuh!
I threw Gardening Teacher back into the vault as she repented.
? Question: What happened? ck letters? Am I the only one who doesnt follow?
Let me exin, Trainee Teacher!
It was a silly story.
During my first round, I was used of murder and was brought to a trial in one of the kingdoms.
Mypanions overpowered the guards that came to arrest them then fled, but I had nothing to fear since I didnt do anything illegal.
However, everything turned out to be much more serious than I thought.
While I slept in an inn, exhausted from training, mypanions killed members of the royal family all to protect some poor girl.
As a result, I became their scapegoat.
I wasnt even at the scene of the murder, but since mypanions refused to take responsibility, I had to do it for them.
I didnt run away.
I wasnt executed.
I wasnt tortured.
The indignation of the parents who lost their children at my colleagues hands burst, but they knew that if I died, Demon Lord Pedonar would destroy the world. Hence, they couldnt punish me.
Instead, they branded me.
? Depression: Why didnt you run away? It wasnt even cadet Kang Han Soos fault
Because if I ran away, someone else wouldve been punished in my stead, Trainee Teacher.
Complicity.
All those who helped mypanions until the very moment of the crime theymitted would be dered criminals.
All of them wouldve been executed, their parents tortured, and their siblings subjected to lifelong supervision.
Knowing this, I couldnt just run awayughing like mypanions, saying, Haha, the vile royal family has been punished.
Yes, it was unfair.
But I took the hit regardless.
? Confusion: Your way of thinking doesnt fit the image of heroes, junior. Not a single hero of Fantasy thinks and acts like you.
And what do you suggest I shouldve done?
? Reasoning: You shouldve fought back. Never take someone elses fault as your own. Instead, you couldve just arranged a coup in that rotten country and founded a new dynasty
Hahaha!
I didnt find that odd since I usurped the throne of the Emperor of the Holy Empire myself, but it wouldnt have changed much back then. Hence, even a simple escape was a far better option.
The royalty punished the people they didnt like, and the heroes got rid of the royalty they didnt like
There was no difference between the royal family and the heroes.
The strong fed on the weak.
Shouldnt someone break that food chain?
And if nobody could tear it apart
Then one simply had to abandon the ipetent role of Hero.
And
Skrrr!
Be a God who would change everything.
Chapter 326 - [21st Round] Spinal Cord
Chapter 326 - [21st Round] Spinal Cord
Drug Hero?
This is amazing.
[Spine]
It wasnt a bad divine power.
However, its weakness was that it had no effects on objects without a backbone.
This wasnt enough to establish justice in the world of Fantasy.
From the very beginning, my stats should have been like this:
? Race: Perfect Deity
? Level: 1
? Job: Ascended (Hero = Demon Lord)
? Skills: Cervical Spine GGG, Thoracic Spine GGG, Lumbar Spine GGG, Sacral Spine GGG, Cygeal Spine GGG
? Status: Good
My approach was wrong.
Out of habit, I evaluated other peoples spines, but Ipletely forgot about my own.
It wasnt that I had a bad spine.
It simply meant that I never thought about properly using my excellent spine.
SKRRR!
I had evolved mine to perfection, fully capable of defending Fantasys justice.
Its cervical region (7 vertebrae), thoracic region (12 vertebrae), lumbar region (5 vertebrae), sacral region (5 vertebrae), and cygeal region (4 vertebrae) were now in perfect harmony.
It was an amazing feeling.
[Spinal Cord]
The spine was more than just the bones that supported ones torso.
It included the spinal cord as well, which was responsible for part of the central nervous system.
It contained motor nerves that transmittedmands from the brain and sensory nerves that delivered information to the brain.
In other words, the spinal cord was a brokeragepany that connected the brain and muscles.
And what if the spine reached a perfect state?
Wow
Stop daydreaming, Drug Hero! Exin what happened to me!
Well, look
I balled my right hand into a fist and bent my arm at the elbow.
My brainsmands traveled through my spinal cord. It then contracted the skeletal muscles throughout my body.
That much was just normal bodily functions.
What I was about to do next was where the fun began.
I gave the order to extend my right hand forward.
[Spinal Cord]
It was just a normalmand to straighten my right arm, but I added divine power to it. Hence, passing through my central nervous system, it caused a mutation in my spinal cord.
Likewise, my skeletal muscle tissues receiving that signal also mutated.
I extended my fist sharply in front of me.
Grong!
It was a pleasant sound, like a golf ball plunging right into a hole.
The Cave of Trials, hidden under the Western Continent, was immediately destroyed.
Not even Shakespeare could do anything against this ce due to the protection of the Fantasy system, but the mere shockwave of my punch nheless obliterated it.
Such was the power of a perfect spine!
? Realization: Youve strengthened yourself
Thank you for summarizing what just transpired here in anguage that this foolish spirit can understand.
Soon after, my monphone rang.
Lord of Demons and Hope, a huge burst of energy has just been recorded in the eastern part of the Western Continent. It looks like some god has appeared there
It was me.
Oh! I apologize for disturbing you. I built a flying ship to strengthen yourbat power, but I think its unlikely to help you in any way now. I will have to improve and upgrade it. Oh! Dont touch me there during an important conversation, honey O-oh! I will contact youter!
Pip
It seemed like my attack was so powerful that even the Connoisseur felt and detected it.
It wasnt even a legendary skill that consumed my entire strength reserves but a regr attack.
Where to go next Huh?
I made a mistake!
I forgot that every time I grew stronger, the interest of the President of the Universe in me faded away.
It was now impossible for me to locate the evil teachers and Chaos Artifacts.
I was too hasty.
The President of the Universe, who wanted to see exciting confrontations with unpredictable results, had left me.
What are you going to do now, Drug Demon Lord?
Ill find out how my allies are doing.
I single-handedly captured six of Fugitive Seniors wives and even obtained a Chaos Artifact, which would help detect my seventh target.
Shouldnt my seniors ipetent subordinates have grabbed the remaining two by this time?
? Irritation: You keep spouting such nasty things, junior. My people are not talentless or ipetent. Youre just too fast since you have the ability to control space.
So did they catch them or not?
? Discontent: Due to the teachers intervention, they didnt achieve significant sess. However, from the information I received, they have sessfully collected Chaos Artifacts. Return to the base of operations on the Northern Continent and learn how to track down my remaining wives.
Without asking any questions, I went back to our headquarters.
[Dark]
[Spinal Cord]
Ipressed the space between me and my destination to shorten the distance I had to cover and moved at high speed by pushing myself off the ground with my spinal cord-reinforced legs.
As I seemingly warped through space, I focused.
Oh-oh everything has beenpletely destroyed here. This mark looks like Captain Fantasys ass mark! Has he already gone? Tsk! I am his first wife. Hence, I shall be patient.
Se-e-e-ex!
Ssosia stood astride her stingray with obscene screams, following the path of my destruction to revert everything to normal.
Each time she waved her magic wand, her entire vicinity was restored, as if time itself rewound.
There seemed to be nothing for me to worry about.
I hated to admit it, but I thought my adventures wouldnt have been as hard if I had apanion like Ssosia with me in my first round.
? Appearance: Cadet Kang Han Soo. A senior colleague has contacted me.
Supervisory Bakery?
? Confirmation: Yes. You got his name wrong, but youre right.
Ipletely isted this ce with the help of my Darkness.
Consequently, teachers who infiltrated earlier could no longer escape, and no more of their kind could enter.
Of course, people from the outside world didnt know what was happening here, just like how we knew nothing about what was happening out there.
However, there was one exception: gorgeous Trainee Teacher.
? Embarrassment: You havent even seen me! Ahem! My senior said that all preparations are nowplete. I inquired about the preparations in question, but he said that cadet Kang Han Soo would immediately understand what he means once Ive conveyed his words to you.
Completed? Did Supervisor Bakery really say that? Anything else?
? Curiosity: Thats all he said. So, what do you two mean by preparations?
I cant tell you yet, Trainee Teacher, no matter how amazing you are.
? Understanding: It seems like its ssified information. I feel a little sad, but Ill wait until youve decided its time to tell me.
Thank you very much for your understanding, Trainee Teacher!
Naturally, I knew what the supervisor meant by preparations.
Here they are.
Due to our conversation, I didnt even notice how I managed to return to our base of operations here in the Northern Continent.
They would clearly disassemble this bunker-like alien fortresster, but it wouldve been better if I could convert it into a dungeon instead.
And its theme and setting would be a hellish bomb shelter where Fugitive Seniors vanguard stayed due to their masters inability to subdue his lust.
? Fright: No way!
Fugitive Senior wanted to reim all his belongings after achieving ourmon goal, but I demanded he left everything here!
I wouldnt ept refusal!
This was the price he had to pay for making me heal Gardening Teachers scars.
? Counterproposal: I didnt think I would have to repay my debts so soon, but thats a fair deal. I agree with your demands, but get rid of your silly story. I have already erased my personal file in that world and do not want to leave any other traces.
Fine. Ill figure something outter.
? Perplexity: I cant believe a person like you bears the title of Hero and, even more shocking, possesses divine powers
Having reached the base, Inded.
This whole ce had turned into a battlefield, with thebatants using firearms that didnt fit Fantasy at all.
Fragments of broken androids were all over the area.
Was it only androids?
Hold on!
Aaahhhh!
Kh!
Many people died.
The teachers and Fugitive Seniors army incessantly shed as the former tried to reim the Chaos Artifacts and thetter tried to defend them.
Behind her army, I saw Red.
Protect the artifacts! If even just one is stolen, you will not be permitted to return home alive!
I went up to her.
Hi, Red.
I dont have time for greetings. Hand over the captured teachers and the Chaos Artifacts and help us defend the base Huh?!
Another teacher in the collection.
How did you know Kha-kha!
Ive known about it since I saw youmanding from a safe distance.
First and foremost, the Red I knew didnt lead her troops to victory by shoutingmands from afar. She stood by her men side-by-side in the frontlines.
Second, her dragon form was much better suited inrge-scale battles like this than her dragonian form, which specialized in one-on-one battles.
PSSSS!
Like a chameleon, the teacher whopletely concealed her identity revealed her true form.
She looked angry.
I thought my imitation was wless.
It is, but since you cant imitate thebat power of that powerful dragon from space, you decided to y the role of a strategist.
I see.
This is the end. Ill be catching the remaining teachers soon enough.
Youre toote. I am an acting teacher. The soldiers, deceived by my acting, have already moved the artifacts to another location. They didnt even suspect anything.
BOOM!
A pir of fire soared into the sky from underground near the bomb shelter.
A victorious smile appeared on Acting Teachers pale face despite her neck being mped by my grip between her 6th and 7th vertebrae.
Why are you smiling?
You may not understand this, but when an actress like me leads everyone around her finger, catharsis sets in.
Thats understandable. Then guess why Im smiling.
I brought my face so close to Acting Teacher that she could probably feel my breath on her skin, then showed her the Righteous Heros smile.
H-hik?!
Wow, you really look frightened. You act well.
A-ahh
PISSS!
Yellow fluids flowed down her legs.
Thats going too far. Theres no need to y so realistically. I like your dedication, though.
Fshuh!
Holding the teacher by the neck, I managed to make a sharp turn with my body, striking a kick.
Going!
My attack seemed to hit the target, but I didnt get the result I wanted.
Who was this?
? Surprise: Ah! Thats a powerful senior!
It was yet another man, once again confirming that my seniors wives became lonely and got into rtionships with their colleagues after he ran away from home.
Its nice to meet you, student Kang Han Soo. My name is Dulejour, and I have been appointed to the Deputy Director position by Parmael, the distinguished director of the Fantasy Institution.
Tou Les Jours? [Note: Popr Korean bakery. Its in every H-mart.]
Dulejour. I am currently acting on behalf of the missing director, but Im actually a physical education teacher specializing in spear skills.
Hmm
I didnt think he was joking.
The deputy director Tou Les Jours was holding a shining spear in his right hand.
It would probably hurt a little if that pierced me.
He also possessed divine power.
[Recoil]?
It is a very useful power. Oh! Could you please let go of the acting teacher first before we continue our conversation? I dont want her to suffer, considering she transforms for me every night.
Transform?
Imagine the perfectbination of a white nurse uniform and ck suspender belt. If you add a vertical recoil somewhere in between
So thats the kind of physical education you do at night.
Haha! I knew you would understand, student Kang Han Soo! Why dont you free her and fight me man to man? The beauty will go to the winner. It is an ancient male tradition!
I dont mind. That being said
Go ahead. Im listening. I have been counseling students for so long that Ive grown bored of it, so I have enough experience.
Raise your spear.
Why? Hmm Khaaaah?!
Deputy director Tou Les Jours tried to lift his spear but immediately lowered it to the ground, leaning on it like a cane and clutching his back.
[Recoil]
[Spine]
I didnt know what the effect of his divine power was, but it didnt matter. It was time for Tou Les Jours to say goodbye to his nocturnal hobby.
Well? Why dont you attack?
It cant be! Because of my Recoil, your spine shouldve broken, not mine Parker Lee fooled me!
It looks like a lot of teachers are unhappy with Bakery.
Bam!
The hero who defeated the deputy director confiscated Acting Teachers suspender belt.
? Question: Cadet Kang Han Soo, is this also necessary for your preparations?
Oops
Of course, this garter belt is a must in our ns, Trainee Teacher!
That sounds dubious, Drug Hero!
Ah! Its time to keep searching!
Forgive this vicious Hero. Mon.
Chapter 327 - [21st Round] Trust
Chapter 327 - [21st Round] Trust
This device tracks the owner of the Chaos Artifact thanks to the power of His Majesty. However, every time you use this, the force contained in it is consumed. Hence, you should only activate it for a short time, The researcher working in the bunker exined.
Acting Teachers performance, imitating Red, rendered the device almost useless, but I still had the Chaos Artifact I received on the Western Continent.
I get it, so be quick about it.
Got it. Please put the shoes in this ss box.
The device was activated as soon as I ced them inside, causing the teachers location to be pinpointed on a giant Fantasy map.
Central Continent.
I searched through all but that one continent, so that was expected.
So far, this was the result of my travel:
Northern Continent: Ethics, Acting, and Physical Education (Deputy Director)
Southern Continent: Mathematics, Fine Arts, Home Economics, and Biology
Eastern Continent: Swimming, Sociology, Chemistry, and Engineering
Western Continent: Gardening and Geography
Central Continent: N/A
All teachers, with the exception of Teacher Morals, acted in pairs consisting of a man and a woman.
There were two pairs each on the Northern, Southern, and Eastern Continents. The Western Continent only had one.
In total, I had caught seven of Fugitive Seniors wives. There were only two more left to find.
The situation on the battlefield also quickly cleared up.
The deputy director has fallen!
Ah! Sir Delujour!
It cant be
Run for it! Retreat!
As soon as Tous Les Jours fell, the school staff immediately left the battlefield.
Are you going to let them go, Drug Hero?
Yes.
I didnt have time to chase them since I urgently needed to find the teacher hiding in the Central Continent.
Taking the teachers shoes from the tracking device, I headed to my destination.
***
Elf Kingdom of the Central Continent.
This was thest bastion of the elves in the 4th curriculum, but in the 5th curriculum, their situation was different.
Since the Elven Empire flourished on the Southern Continent, the homnd of their race, they found no need to move to the Central Continent.
However, the Elf Kingdom still existed in the Central Continent, as in the 4th curriculum.
It took on a slightly different form, though.
This is a country founded by miserable insects, dissatisfied with the rule of His Majesty Elfheim, the most wonderful and wisest elf in the world. The world of Fantasy does not need such pests. Feel free to eliminate them together with the teachers. Shadow A subjectively exined.
But that wasnt urate.
The Elf Kingdom of the Central Continent inherited the traditions of the 4th curriculum. It was a country that promoted extreme hatred of the human race.
Ah! More precisely, it preached the superiority of elves over all other races.
These bugs took advantage of the mercy of His Majesty Elfheim, even though he didnt abandon them but supported them with his love instead. If he hadnt been so good-natured, he never wouldve allowed the founding of a country of reactionaries!
I get it already, Shadow A, so calm down.
I quickly reached the correct coordinates disyed on the tracking devices map.
I thought it was near the royal pce, somewhere in the countrys center, but it was surprisingly remote.
Hmm? A meeting?
It was an ordinary and undistinguishable forest, but a huge crowd of elves gathered around a rock amid its centersrge clearing.
At the top of a cliff, where their gazes were directed, a female elf confidently spoke.
In the distant past, First Elf King Phoenix, scion of the sun and father of all elves, descended from the heavens on sunny wings to rule this wretchednd with his wisdom. Frustrated by human ipetence, he created twopanions. From his 4th lumbar vertebra, he made the Second Elf King, and from his 5th, the goddess of spirits.
Ooooh!
Ah!
Ooh!
The character she described was nothing like the Phoenix I knew, but I decided to listen a little more.
Was this the myth of their origins?
It was funny.
But the God of the Giants took our fathers sr wings, the Giant King stole his body and name, and the Demon Lord Parmamon killed the goddess and began to rule over the innocent spirits. The Second Elf Kings son, Elfheim,mitted a terrible sin by allying with him.
Traitor!
Deceiver!
Hypocrite!
The elves immediately began to curse the Third Elf King Elfheim.
Shadow A reacted immediately.
Hero! Let me squash these bugs! If not for the mercy of His Majesty Elfheim, they would still be eating cockroaches!
Take it easy. Their noves are all fiction. Theres nothing for you to worry about.
In the myths that served as the progenitors of Fantasy novels, everything was usually exaggerated. Not surprisingly, Phoenix, a scoundrel, and murderer, was described as a wise ruler.
Reading the biographies of great people published on Earth would allow one to easily understand this.
They were described as aliens who had never experienced puberty in their lives.
? Alert: Thats her, but shes grown a lot since thest time I saw her. Well, except for her chest.
How can you say that, Fugitive Senior?
Suchments were already enough for a divorce.
? Rebuttal: What are you talking about? Size doesnt matter! Its more important to think about each other. Dont you know what Elfheim always used to say? Elves have small breasts but big hearts.
I heard that every time we met.
He constantly tried to make the MAX-ss Hero marry his big-hearted daughter.
That aside, it was time to get down to business.
Click!
I snapped my fingers, creating a ck hole under the elfs feet, like a sewer without a manhole cover.
We are elves of noble birth, emanating from our fathers 5th lumbar vertebra. Our pride Ah!
Her reaction speed wasparable to that of Biology Teacher, however.
She could easily be a physical education teacher, like the recently fallen deputy director.
I immediately checked her stats.
? Race: Deus Ex Machina Elf
? Level: 999+
? Job: Teacher (Teaching Skills )
? Skills: Fabrication G, Incitement G, Faith G, Hypocrisy ZZZ, Charm ZZZ
? Status: Advent, Goddess, Light, Dark
Her three G-rank skills were already amazing, but her race was even beyond them.
? Type: Race
? Name: Deus Ex Machina Elf
? Rank: Mythic
? Mythic 1: Godhood.
? Mythic 2: Cosmic Gaze.
? Mythic 3: Time and Space Maniption.
? Feature 1: Fabrication.
? Feature 2: Imperfection.
? Feature 3: Myth.
? Race 1: Unlimited lifespan.
? Race 2: Tweak Abilities.
Her race was too good for a teacher.
G-rank Fabrication.
This skill probably was very effective.
I kept my Fabrication skill until the very end, refusing to sacrifice it even if doing so meant oveing my limits, but I still couldnt reach that rank.
Plus, she had several divine powers.
[Light]
[Darkness]
[Oracle]
Light was the power of the director, the First Angel, and Darkness was stolen from me.
The Oracle was a power received from a god outside the realm of education.
I roughly understood the principle behind it.
Like all skills, Oracle consisted of two divine powers that served as the foundation of the Fantasy Institution.
If someone became a god ording to their skills, their miracles would contain both light and darkness.
Not bad.
The final form that I once pursued was in front of my eyes.
Five pairs of aetheric wings unfurled on her back as she escaped falling into my ck hole.
The wings on her right were white, and the ones on her left were ck.
Her hair was also dyed golden, which was an unnatural color for pure-blooded royal elves.
Ah!
Goddess!
Its a miracle!
To the elves around her, she was the perfect embodiment of a deity.
Perhaps we should start with introductions. I am the career counselor and Head of the Academic Affairs Department. It is one of my duties to help students develop leadership skills. I didnt want to deal with my ex-husband, whose lower body ruled him, so I remained inactive, but I didnt think you woulde to me yourself, student Kang Han Soo.
Whats wrong with the First Hero?
Dont even mention the name of that pathetic insect in front of me. He is the dark spot in my life that I want to erase the most.
He hears us.
Ah! Really? Hey, you nasty parasite. Do you still rush at every woman you see with your tongue out like a lustful dog? Hmph! Dont you dare show yourself before me!
Her behavior immediately destroyed her goddess-like image.
What do you say to that, Fugitive Senior?
? Shock: How could she say something so terrible? She used to be so kind and sweet
It looked like the First Hero, chasing a perfect harem, would need to take some time to let his wounded heart heal.
I clenched my fist slightly and leaped forward.
Compressing space, I could instantly close the distance between us.
Oh! Hero and Demon Lord, have you forgotten?
[Light]
[Darkness]
However, the space that I had shrunk increased again, and the time around me slowed down.
As a result, I remained in ce despite my forward pounce.
But I had foreseen this.
[Spinal Cord]
I elerated my very being.
Commands emanating from my brain propagated along the peripheral nerves of my body.
I became seemingly endlessly quicker.
The time hade for her to witness the true meaning of speed.
Through it, I was able to move at normal speed even when time itself had been slowed down.
That wont work on me.
I see. It seems you didnt defeat Director Parmael with luck alone, after all. If so, how about this?
[Oracle]
The Academic Affairs Department Head ascended to the skies, allowing all elves to witness her.
She folded her arms over her t chest.
Thats tant sexual harassment!
Dont read my mind.
She was to be med for reading my thoughts without permission.
Hear mymand! y the heretic who despises the breast of your noble goddesss breasts!
[Oracle]
She unleashed divine power in response to the Righteous Heros provocation.
I focused my attention on protecting myself against unknown effects.
At that moment, the assembled elves reacted to her power.
The Oracle needs us!
For the noble goddess!
Glory to her t chest!
I can feel my strength growing!
All the elves present were immediately enhanced.
I took a look at their stats.
? Race: Elf
? Level: 195
? Job: Fanatic (Faith Madness )
? Skills: ZZZ, ZZZ, Faith ZZZ, Gathering D, Agriculture D
? Status: Ascension, Oracle
They had skills named using texts unrecognized by the system, as in the case of the ck Box.
Her divine power turned thousands of elves who had never fought or posed any threat before into a band of soldiers worthy of being called the Army of God.
Then I, too, shouldnt just stand around doing nothing!
[Spinal Cord]
For the glory of Mon! I shouted as loud as I could.
As the MAX-ss Righteous Hero, I would fight honestly and impartially, bravely opposing the maniption of evil itself!
I, Kang Han Soo, the first apostle of Mons Teachings, praised the great Master Mon before the t-chesters!
Hear Mon!
Behold Mon!
Feel Mon!
Foolish mortals will never be able to resist his will!
Mons Teachings
Mon
But the Oracle Kh?!
The elves who tried to attack me grabbed their heads as they fell to the ground.
I checked their stats again.
? Race: Elf
? Level: 195
? Job: Farmer (Earth Agriculture )
? Skills: Gathering D, Farming D, Faith E, Rest E, Dexterity E
? Status: Fainting
I easily returned them to normal.
How is this possible
Evil Head of the Academic Affairs Department. Have you prepared yourself? Now your soul, as t as your chest, will suffer greatly.
How dare you sexually harass your teacher Huh?!
I am justice!
[Spine]
Sexual harassment?
I thought she was being paranoid.
The Head of the Academic Affairs Department screamed as my righteous fist shattered her wings.
Help! History teacher!
Im here!
Ah! You really came!
Sorry, Imte! Are you injured?
Im fine.
Before I could punish her for her sphemy, an uninvited teacher intervened in our showdown.
I was already used to it.
A couple again.
While I, the MAX-ss husband, suffered from loneliness while enforcing justice, my opponents flirted in front of me.
As the Righteous Hero, I couldnt forgive them
Cowardly husband~
Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex!
Mon~
My most recent words were proved wrong.
Chapter 328 - [21st Round] Human Possibility
Chapter 328 - [21st Round] Human Possibility
Why did youe here, Ssosia?
Ive finished restoring the environment you destroyed, so I came over!
I didnt ask why she followed in my footsteps while viting my request to protect the Senior Fugitives hideout.
It was most likely Acting Teachers fault.
She probably deceived Ssosia by saying, Ill defend this ce! Help your husband!
The faculty members didnt want this ssroom to be destroyed, so they did their best to divert God-Creator of Fantasys attention.
Well, not like it mattered.
From now on, I will fight without worrying about the environment. Ill leave its restoration to you.
Hey!
I believe I can rely on my first wife!
Hmmm!
I, her righteous husband, caused destruction, while my cowardly wife focused on the ruins restoration.
We were a fantastic couple.
[Spinal Cord] was an amazing power, but my main weapon was still dark matter,bining the teachings of Master Mon and my father-inw.
I snapped my fingers. History Teacher, huh? Got it. You can fight together if you like.
Haha! Student Kang Han Soo, the rumors about your impressive fighting spirit are true, after all. I am indeed a history teacher. I am responsible for ensuring that younger students learn about the outstanding achievements of my predecessors and their seniors.
My wife said otherwise.
False history was being foisted on the foolish Fantasy savages.
History Teacher shook his right index finger in disagreement. Tsk tsk. Those are all prejudices. Youve probably already heard of this, but history is written by the victor. Hence, misrepresentation is also part of the story.
Youre the only one who thinks it is.
Sometimes its better not to know the truth. Lets say youre from a noble family with a long history. You dont need to know that some of your ancestors were ves.
Your approach itself is wrong.
Even if the truth was unpleasant, being aware of it was still better than remaining ignorant.
We should move forward by recognizing the truth, not ignoring it.
If one only wanted to see the good, then they should read fiction novels instead.
History Teacher clicked his tongue.
Youre still too young.
Youre a politician, not a history teacher.
What?
Politics have always been the cause of historys distortion. The Head of the Academic Affairs Department glorifies Elf King Phoenix while you talk about the benefits of hiding the fact that the blood of ves courses through a noble familys veins. Thats not history. Thats a fantasy novel. Wouldnt it be more urate to call you a fiction writer?
Oh, you
Out of sheer anger, History Teachers eyes shed. He immediately summoned a sword into his hands.
I remembered its name.
The Celestial Runelord Sword. In my 1st round, I wanted to get it because the automatic Holy Sword was utter garbage.
However, I couldnt get it due to my ipetentpanions interference.
It was a jet ck sword decorated with old-fashioned patterns that didnt fit into Fantasys setting.
Its characteristics were so amazing that it ranked among the three greatest swords of Fantasy: the Holy Demon Sword, the Celestial Runelord Sword, and the Spiritual Endymion Sword.
Its durability was nothingpared to the indestructible Holy Swords, but it was the dream weapon of all non-Hero swordsmen.
Its efficiency was top-notch, after all.
[Subjugation]
[Ascension]
[Domination]
Three divine powers.
The Celestial Runelord Sword. It was the most powerful sword of a Dimension Lord called Murim, whom we invited to defeat Demon Lord Pedonar long before the appearance of the First Hero.
Other dimensions are of little interest to me.
It wasnt a sword powerful enough to pose a threat to the MAX-ss Righteous Hero.
Dont look down on me!
Hh?
Another sword appeared.
[Light]
[Darkness]
[Family]
Three more divine powers.
The Holy Demon Sword.
It was the weapon used by the Sword Master, known as the insane guardian of the Central Continent.
In my 1st round, Sword King Alex, who passed the Sword Masters test, took possession of it and brandished it until his death.
I never got my hands on it since it disappeared along with Alexs body since he always carried it with him, protecting it like his beloved woman.
The politician intervened again.
This sword is too powerful for Alex since its created by the First Angel Parmael and the First Demon Pedonar. It serves as a symbol of their strong bonds as siblings. It is also the inspiration for the Holy Swords.
So romantic.
He sounded so confident, conducting conversations with me because of Light, which allowed him to control time.
The director, the main source of all evil, was defeated and went missing, but this world was endowed with enough races and weapons imbued with her power.
The Holy Demon Sword and the Celestial Runelord Sword.
Deus Ex Machina Elf.
Under the influence of these two, the time around me greatly slowed down.
It didnt matter, though.
They still wouldnt be able to surpass the strength of my spine even if they fought against me together. Their defeat was inevitable.
No! Thats not all! The Academic Affairs Department Head eximed, summoning another sword.
[Spirit]
[Friendship]
[Hope]
Again, three divine powers.
Hey! You thieves! Give me my sword back!
The Addicted Spirit, who had just been watching in silence before, iled her arms and legs out of frustration.
That meant
This is the Spiritual Endymion Sword. We have the three greatest swords of Fantasy on our side.
The selfish Elf Queen Sylvia refused to lend it to me during my 1st round, so I couldnt even touch it, but in my 2nd round, I used it to cut off my father-inws head.
Spiritual Endymion Sword.
Although it was kept as a national treasure in the Elf Kingdom, it had nothing to do with their race.
No!
Academic Affairs Department Head immediately protested.
Whats wrong?
This serves as proof that all spirits will forever serve the noble elven race.
But the First Spirit eximed in response.
No! That is a symbol of friendship. I gave it to my first friend Elfheim! Dastardly liars like you Oh
She sighed instead of finishing her sentences.
Why did you stop? You finally said something cool after so long, Addicted Spirit.
My children who voluntarily merged with that sword due to my request as the Dwarf King was forging it suffered greatly. Its all my fault
Dont cry.
Drug Hero She sniffed.
I warn you in advance. Dont even think of wiping your snot on my hair.
Save my children! Pffffshh!
Hey!
Even though I told her not to blow her nose into my hair, my head was slightly moisturized.
I hoped it wouldnt cause hair loss.
Student Kang Han Soo!
What?
This is history as written by the victors! When Dimension Lord Murim was defeated, leaving behind the Celestial Runelord Sword, his sister defeated the Demon Lord, causing him to lose the Holy Demon Sword. The Spiritual Endymion Sword was then transformed from a symbol of friendship to a symbol of very when the elves won!
History is written by the victors, huh?
I also loved to win.
And I was about to make them understand that they couldnt keep winning forever.
If they didnt know what defeat was, then it was about time I taught them.
Nonsense! You will be recorded in history as a loser! Forever!
Student Kang Han Soo! Your overconfidence in your talent will lead you to your demise!
So noisy.
Pop!
I summoned the Perfect Holy Sword into my hands.
Although it was just one sword, it had 26 des that collectively resembled a spine, each carrying a certain meaning.
Just like the 26 vertebrae.
[Spine]
History wasnt something we experienced, but something we extracted from texts and oral stories, which we could then use to be stronger.
What we saw with our own eyes wasnt the only truth and power out there, simr to how dark matter existed all over the universe but couldnt be seen or touched.
[Darkness]
Defeat made us stronger.
But if one didnt know how to lose, they would lose everything after being defeated once.
Nobody could keep winning.
SKRR!
However, if they engraved the feeling of being beaten into their spines, their chances of victory would rise in their next bouts.
W-wait
Dear! This is
After all, the possibilities of those who knew failure were endless.
[Human]
I really like viins like you.
I had no regrets, even if I was a little rude.
sh!
***
Cowardly husband, why did you destroy the?
Um I think I put too much energy into my shoulders.
But I had something to say.
Half of the is still intact!
The Academic Affairs Department Head and the politician simultaneously attacked me from both sides.
That was why half of Fantasy remained unbroken.
I couldnt kill the female teacher, considering I had to hand her over to the Fugitive Senior alive.
Hence, I adjusted my strength, which in turn saved the worlds right side from certain obliteration.
My left side, however
Youre lucky Im here. Before thes debris couldpletely exit orbit, I managed to gather all of its fragments and revert it to its former glory.
Haha! Thats my wife! I knew you could handle it!
Is that all youve got to say to me?
Thats my first wife!
Not this time! Do you have any idea how difficult this restoration can be? Even if you call me your first wife, it wont make my life any easier.
Wow.
I seemed to have hit the limit of her patience.
Simple praises no longer pleased her this time.
Oh! I know.
Whats this? A suspender belt? For me?
Right.
Is this a gift? This is probably the first-ever worthy gift Ive received from you.
You can say that.
Ssosia, who took the stocking belt out of my hands, immediately put it on.
What do you think?
Goes well with your pelvis.
She cowardly stimted mens primal instinct.
[Human]
I closed my eyes and tried to calm my mind.
? Admiration: Im really surprised by Cadet Kang Han Soos abilities. You knew this was going to happen, and you prepared in advance!
Right! I think that garter belt would look great on you too, Trainee Teacher!
I originally intended to give it to my secret friend, but I kept that a secret.
My cowardly wife poked my side.
I think we have a little problem, wonderful husband.
What is it?
She wasnt talking about my secret, was she?!
Theres only a 50% chance the Fugitive Heros remaining ex-wife is still alive. Be advised that if she died, you wouldnt be able to transfer her anymore since shell be a part of the system at that moment.
Is that so?
It was okay, though.
? Irritable: Junior! Thats a very serious problem! Find her now! Your negligence will ruin our whole deal!
Calm down, Fugitive Senior. Arent you underestimating human capabilities too much?
People didnt die so easily.
? Denial: How can you be confident that there are still people left after your attack? Her race isnt even human. Shes an angel.
Then give up. That chickenhead would have died long ago if that were the case.
Hey, wonderful husband.
What now? Stopining and start working on repairing the world, Ssosia.
I think I saw an angel there.
Huh?
She hid there.
There?
Two moons awaited at the ce Ssosia pointed to.
Chapter 329 - [21st Round] Handsome Hero!
Chapter 329 - [21st Round] Handsome Hero!
Theres no life on the moon Im familiar with.
There used to be many novels and films about people or aliens living on the dark side of the moon.
But afternding on and exploring it, people became convinced there was no life in it.
As for its origin, there was a theory that it broke away from the Earth.
Although it had traces of water and oxygen, its environment was still unsuitable for sustaining life.
What about Fantasys two moons?
Since youre their God-Creator, you know their structure, right?
In general, yes. Therger one on the left is Fantasiart, and the smaller one on the right is Ssosiart. Theyre named after my mother and me, which makes them a symbol of our connection
I asked about their structure.
Hey! Are you an actual emotionless log?
Okay, do the renovation work.
I left the restoration of Fantasy to her as I headed towards Moons A and B.
Moon A revolved around Fantasy, and Moon B revolved around Moon A.
Moon A was the size of the Earth, and Moon B was simr in size to the Moon. Naturally, Fantasy itself was muchrger. Otherwise, its locals wouldnt have survived my attack.
You should be known as the Savage Hero! The Addicted Spirit whined.
What?
You destroyed the your mother-inw took care of! Youre no better than a demented beast!
Ahem!
Such was the potential of human capabilities.
[Human]
Who couldve known that during self-reflection, I would gain new divine power?
Im here
Now came the most difficult part: searching for the teacher.
It was a pity that the esteemed President of the Universes interest in me had disappeared.
The environment here was the same as Earths moon.
The side that the rays of light fell on was hot, like an incandescentmp, and the other side was cold enough for ice to form.
With such sharp changes in temperature, it wasnt clear how life could exist here.
Those are all prejudices, Savage Hero.
Perhaps
If one wasnt strongly influenced by the environment, like me, and they didnt need to breathe, then they could live here.
The reverse side of Moon A.
Oddly enough, a city of angels existed here, created from the same gray materials as Moon As surface.
The buildings here werent confined spaces.
There were many ssless windows, doorless entrances, and even houses with no roofs or ceilings.
Wee, stranger.
You are currently in the twilight side of Fantasiart, stranger.
What are you doing here, stranger?
Youvee a long way, stranger.
Nice to meet you, stranger!
The townspeople rushed to me as if I were some rare and undocumented animal.
It bothered me that they all called me a stranger, but I didnt react to it. Instead, I gave them my Righteous Heros smile in good nature.
If you need anything, stranger, just tell me!
Ah! Are you married, stranger?
Stranger, if youre not busy, then why dont youe to my house
Youre in good shape, stranger.
Oh?
Seeing my smile, the males left with worried faces. Meanwhile, the women continued to circle around me.
? Delight: Student Kang Han Soos poprity is astounding. A beautiful face and a wonderful expression. You have everything that women love.
I already know that, but I am nheless honored to hear that from you, beautiful Trainee Teacher!
But this was problematic.
The hens surrounded me, interfering with my work as the Righteous Hero.
One of them even took the opportunity to touch my ass and wide chest.
It seemed that she had no evil intentions, at least.
? Race: Ancient Angel
? Level: 999+

Except for the mermaids, there were no other females on the continents of Fantasy who would harass me as actively as they did.
I was so handsome that it interfered with my job.
The moment I tried to politely bow
Get out! Get out of here! Nasty angelic bitches! Stay away from my husband! Hey, you! Get your hands off him!
Se-e-e-e-ex!
Mon!
I heard the voice of my ignorant wife.
Oh! A jealous stranger.
Are you the wife of this handsome man, stranger?
Youre acting obscenely, stranger.
Where are your manners, stranger?
The female angels immediately shamed Ssosia, who flew in on a sexually screaming stingray.
My cowardly wife looked embarrassed.
Cowardly husband! Did you use some dastardly magic on them?
I did not do anything.
This happened simply because I was too handsome.
Dont lie. I am the only woman in the world who can endure your frightening face
Youre spouting lies that no one will believe, stranger.
Youre just terribly jealous, stranger.
A stranger does not want to share her beautiful husband with anyone
Be honest with yourself, stranger.
Ssosia, criticized by the female angels, pressed herself against my arm and continued herints.
This is some strange ce, husband.
Such is the fate of a wife whose husband is very handsome!
These angels were hit in the head by a meteorite, werent they? Thats why theyre so dumb.
Just ept it.
Am I the only one who thinks this is weird?
I politely addressed the chicken heads that surrounded me.
Go away.
I was sure I was extraordinarily handsome, but they might just be trying to distract me from my duty to find an evil teacher.
Youre so perfect, stranger.
I have never seen such a beautiful face, stranger.
My God! Youre making my heart race, stranger!
Heres my calling card, stranger.
They caressed my well-toned chest goodbye, leaving their business cards behind.
Its really a little strange
It was true that I was handsome, but it was my first time finding such aggressive women apart from the mermaids.
Stop thinking youre handsome, cowardly hubby.
Isnt that the truth, though?
No! Our rtionship is like Beauty and the Beast. However, here, they treat me like a monster, and they regard you as a beautiful existence. This isnt right!
Hmm? How do you know about Beauty and the Beast?
I got acquainted with the culture of your home using the monphone.
I see.
It was one of her cowardly attempts to monopolize the love of her handsome husband.
Stop it!
Oh, what happened to Fantasys restoration? You didnt leave everything in ruins and rushed here out of sheer jealousy, did you?
Of course not. I perfectly restored the to its original state.
Okay.
Fantasy, split in half, was indeed once again whole. I could see it with my own eyes.
When did she do that?
Fixing a partially destroyed surface of the is difficult since Id have to correct the memory of witnesses and restore the environment in a way that would make sense for the people. However, you erased half of thepletely and cleanly, as if you carefully sliced through its center with a knife, eliminating the need for me to focus on such tiny details.
Indeed
When I was a high school student on Earth, my homeroom teacher told me that while formatting a brokenptop, it was just easier to reinstall the system than fix the problems.
My wife used a simr principle.
By the way, hubby, did you find the teacher?
Ill be searching for her now.
Pfft! Instead of doing important work, you were flirting with these ugly bitches Agh?!
Do you want me to punish you severely right here in outer space?
The MAX-ss Righteous and Handsome Hero embarked on an adventure on the moon!
? Note: I hope you havent forgotten that I can see everything
City X, located on the back of Moon A, was where the heroes who escaped from the Fantasy lived.
Their reasons for doing so differed.
Lack of work, political differences, battles over session, escapism, strategic marriages, false usations, insults, debts
Angels working in the Town Hall, located in City Xs central square, visited these heroes and asked, Do you want to join our Church and drink a special fruit punch? (Y / N)
If the Hero chose Y, they would move him to City X.
Thats all! Kh-kh!
Thanks for the clear exnation, Hero C.
Stranger A expressed his gratitude for the information he generously provided.
My neck
Thats amazing. You really dont need to breathe, huh?
This is a special breathing skill.
Ah! That skill was intended to allow its users to stay longer underwater, but I didnt know it could be used that way.
Can you let go of my neck now?
Hey! How do you exin that?
I saw a female hero passing by, breastfeeding her newborn baby.
Newborn babies shouldnt have such skills.
She has a skill that gives life to a dyingpanion Kh-kh! Its a defensive skill that is constantly active.
I understand now.
I let go of Hero C, who kindly exined everything to me.
The idea of living in space using Fantasy skills was actually impressive.
I found this whole situation funny, though. These heroes were dumped here like unnecessary waste and were then given a second life.
If the teacher were hiding here, then shed be at the town hall since it was the most influential ce.
It was like a local faculty office.
Are you nning on breaking right in, hubby? Asked Ssosia, tightly clutching her husbands arm as if she was afraid to let him out of her sight.
Naturally.
I had no regrets.
The fact that they helped Fantasy heroes by giving them new beginnings wasmendable.
But I had more important things to do.
I stopped near the town hall, the only two-story building in the city.
City Xs poption was small, and there was a lot of space, so there was no need to create tall buildings.
There were also only a few angels working in the town hall, so I shouldnt have had any problems finding my target.
Dont get distracted and try to find her, Fugitive Senior.
? Discontent: I know.
I looked inside and checked the stats of all the beings working on the first floor.
However, I was unable to find any teacher.
Hmm. Should we check the second floor?
Maybe she noticed our approach and had already escaped?
? Stop: Stop! Junior! Youre in too much of a hurry! Look! Behind the third counter on the right!
I turned around and checked again.
Did he mean that senior employee who was poking a bunch of papers in front of a new employee while scolding her?
? Denial: Not her! The new employee whos getting scolded!
Thats too much of a stretch, Fugitive Senior. You may like her pelvis, but you shouldnt add her to your list of wives.
? Race: Ancient Angel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Princess (National Strength = Charm )
? Skills: Blessing G, Charm G, Divinity G, Performing ZZZ, Singing ZZZ
? Status: Depression, Humiliation
She wasnt an evil teacher but a princess.
Stop. Princess?
I went up to them and greeted them, showing my Righteous Heros smile.
Excuse me. Im Stranger A.
Ah!
My God!
H-hik?!
All the chickens perked up at my smile except for the new employee, who looked more frightened than delighted.
Bingo!
Chapter 330 - [21st Round] Report! Report!
Chapter 330 - [21st Round] Report! Report!
I immediately jumped at her.
I didnt know how shepletely hid her profession, but it didnt matter.
Hop!
She was too close for me to miss her.
In myst battle, the distance between my opponent and me was the same as two metro stations. Now, however
We were in the same building.
The same room.
And she was right next to me.
I got you!
Kh?! Cried the teacher, whose back conveniently had no wings since it would interfere with her work.
I acted without any hesitation.
My fingers dug into her back, gripping her spine between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.
Since we were in a state of weightlessness, drops of blood spurting from her body rose into the air.
That was it.
Who are you?
Whimper
Much like her blood, her tears didnt fall to the floor but hovered around her instead.
She didnt even resist, let alone counterattack.
There were no signs of her profession changing either. Usually, after receiving a fatal wound, whatever means they used to hide their job would immediately be deactivated.
Why didnt this happen?
p! p!
What are you doing, stranger?
Calm down, stranger!
She just hasnt gotten used to her new job yet, stranger.
Dont be angry with her, stranger.
The other angels working in the town hall immediately grabbed my limbs, trying to hold me back.
Hey! Who was that chicken head that just grabbed my ass? She should confess immediately!
In any case, I felt like I was missing something here.
Ssosia analyzed one of the drops of blood floating in the air.
That angel youre holding by the spine is bound by blood to my aunt, impatient hubby.
Like Hero Richel?
Yes.
? Surprise: Oh my God! I hardly recognized her because she had taken off her makeup. Shes a senior colleague of mine. A music teacher. She quit her jobst year, giving up teaching.
Trainee Teacher rified the situation a little.
A rtive of the director and a former music teacher.
This was strange.
If she resignedst year, why was she still in ss?
Moreover, she was a new employee whose senior was just scolding her.
This made no sense.
What did Fugitive Senior think about this?
? Opinion: Let go of her spine first, junior. Youve been holding her bones, which I havent even touched, for more than 14.6 seconds already.
Oh! I beg your pardon.
Since I was a man, my hands acted on their own when I saw her beautiful spine.
I immediately adjusted Music Teachers vertebrae.
[Spine]
I then canceled the effect of my divine power.
PSSS!
Since she was a high-ranking angel, she quickly recovered from her spinal injury.
Stepping back a bit, I said, Are you okay now, Music Teacher?
It still hurts Whimper!
Really?
A student like you isnt worthy of hearing my beautiful melody when I sing.
What a nightmare.
Given that she referred to me as a student, it seemed she was indeed a former teacher.
But shemunicated more casually, unlike the other teachers.
? Exnation: Thats because shes no longer a teacher. There is a school rule that teachers must respect the students words, actions, and free will.
The teachers I met so far were easily pissed off.
But now I get it! Thats why youre keeping the distance between us, Trainee Teacher!
? Confusion: Student Kang Han Soo, it is said that intimacy opens the door to love but closes the door to friendship. Im sorry.
Its okay, Trainee Teacher! I know this is all for the sake of your dreams! Im not crying at all!
Hey, presumably handsome husband, since youve been abandoned already, you better get to work soon.
Youre a heartless wife!
Youre the heartless one here. Dont whine about being dumped after seducing another woman next to your wife!
I wasnt dumped!
We just needed time to think things over.
Hey, what are you talking about? Im no longer a teacher, so I cant read students minds anymore
Ssidiel!
Oh! Yes! Dear senior!
Stop flirting with the Handsome Hero! You still have a lot of work to do! I intervened not because Im envious. Dont misunderstand me, got it?
Yes! Dear senior!
As soon as her higher-up called her, Music Teacher, full of strength, immediately rushed to work.
I wasnt worried shed escape since she clearly had no intention of doing so. Aside from her constantly remembering her days as a teacher, she was a pretty simple angel.
Now what?
At that moment, her senior came up to us.
Beautiful Hero, I dont know what Ssidiel did wrong, but please forgive her. She hasnt yet mastered handling her duties and still makes many mistakes since shes still young.
Uh okay.
I didnt even have the motivation to throw her into the Demon Vault.
I hated people like her the most.
Doubts would haunt me if I were toy my hand on her.
On the other hand, I liked outright viins like the Academic Affairs Department Head and History Teacher. I could happily punish individuals like them.
? Intervention: Junior! Theres no need for you to have doubts. Shes my wife. Her quitting her position as a teacher is actually great news since she will no longer be so tormented at work. She can just live happily with me.
Frustrated Fugitive Senior, your unchanging personality is actually starting to gain respect from me.
I needed to work on my reputation first.
With my Righteous Heros smile, I turned to the angel.
That music teacher
Ssidiel?
Yeah. CD insulted me by saying I was ugly.
My God! Did she really say something so ridiculous? Not only did she not praise your beauty, but she even called you ugly
So I want to receive an official apology from her after her working hours are over.
Of course! Ill take care of that. Please tell me where you are staying, and we will send her to youter.
Thanks.
I would leave my manager to deal with this issue.
Me?
Of course you, Ssosia. Did you think Im talking about this spirit who does nothing but sniff my hair all day long?
In your 1st round, werent you a diligent hero and did everything yourself?
I was a bachelor then.
Back then, I dreamed of opening a cafe near a busy metro station and bing a tempter of womens hearts.
You are the worst, husband!
Hero,ter, when you have time, we could discuss matters in private Ah?!
Insidious angel! Dont touch my husband!
Oh My hand slipped, sister. I really only wanted to talk about business.
Im not your sister!
I sat silently on the couch in the town hall and watched Ssosias struggle.
Where do you want to meet Ssidiel?
In front of the town hall!
Youre not nning on making your handsome husband wait all day there, are you? He will definitely hate you for it.
W-well
There are no good hotels or cafes here. Thats why, sister, if you want, we can arrange a meeting at my house
No way!
Do you even have a ce to stay here?
We do!
Ssosia immediately applied to move into a house that didnt even exist.
However, she was able to pull it off thanks to the cooperation of the town hall members, but when she registered herself as the Head of the family, announcing her marriage, she was caught after being asked, Do you have any proof?
My niece is working hard, Savage Hero.
Yeah. I have no idea what shes trying so hard for, though.
Its all for love, of course!
Shes fussing over documents in the town hall for love?
However, her efforts were worth acknowledging.
Ssosia was working harder than when she restored Fantasy as its God-Creator.
That being said
How did she n to confirm our marriage?
Ssosia soon returned with a pile of papers in her hands and an expression on her face as if she just attained the greatest achievement of her life.
Husband! Everythings ready!
Uh Thanks for the report.
I wanted toin but didnt because she looked too happy.
Well done, Savage Hero!
More like a jackass.
You are a really good husband! My niece should feel blessed!
Okay. You can continue to praise me.
Ssosia, who couldnt follow the gist of our conversation, tilted her head and grabbed my hand.
Follow me, my allegedly handsome hubby.
Where are we going?
Were going to set an example for the stupid women in this strange city!
Do you want me to punish you in outer space?
No!
***
My cowardly wife took me to the outskirts of the city, where she nned on building a love nest so grandiose everyone around us would feel envious of her.
As we walked, she said, I understand now why youre treated here like a man whose handsomeness knows no equal.
What is there to understand? Ive been cute since childhood. Just look at Captain Fantasy.
Listen to me first! This is a city where many heroes live, but their facial features are quite simr. They all have the typical face of a male protagonist from the cover of a love story I read. Thats why my husbands frightening facial expression, a rarity in this ce, has be popr.
Thats a terrible hypothesis.
Fugitive Senior had so many beautiful wives, but that didnt change his tastes. He would dly have a hundred more of such wives.
? Pride: I didnt think the day my junior would praise me would actuallye. This is amazing.
Eh, really?
We made an appointment to meet with Music Teacherter, but she left her job behind and followed us instead.
Then why was all this nonsense about a house and marriage registration needed?
But since Sosia was happy, I decided not to raise this topic.
Ill go with you, student. pping her white wings, she trailed us.
Youre not going to run away?
And how do you suggest I do that?
She raised a fair point.
While I was waiting in the town hall, Ipletely blocked the space.
The townspeople didnt notice, but no one could leave Moon A without my permission.
Let me greet you formally. I am Ssidiel, the granddaughter of Director Parmael and the eldest child in my family. Riel Lanuberk is my half-brother.
Half-brother.
Music Teacher had the same mother as Hero Richel, but they had different fathers.
I noticed she didnt use Lanuberk as herst name when she introduced herself.
Given that Richel was not a purebred angel but a half-angel, this meant their mother was the source of their angelic blood.
Eldest child? Youre not like the ordinary music teachers, after all~
If you continue like this, you will never hear me sing.
I dont even want that.
Youll regret it. I sing very well.
Use it to seduce your husband.
Fugitive Senior was eagerly awaiting her return.
Ah! Right! My husband wanted me to give you something.
Fugitive Senior?
Who fugitive? Do you mean the First Hero?
Well, yes.
Of course not! That scum cant be my husband! Its like listening to a recording from a dictaphone instead of a real musical performance!
Hmm
This time, Fugitive Senior couldnt even reveal how shocked he was.
Oh! I almost forgot about it again. I have information for you from my husband.
Information?
That surprised me.
We found Music Teacher while she was in hiding.
However, she now sounded like she originally intended to contact me.
Was she lying?
Whats with that ostentatious distrust on your face? Didnt Bianca teach you ethics?
Dont even mention her name.
Its partially my fault anyway, so Ill ignore it. I got all worked up and forgot about my husbands request.
Music Teacher kept mentioning her husband.
I found it weird.
If she, too, acted in tandem with a male teacher, then his appearance was long overdue.
Whos your husband?
Parker Lee.
Ah!
Supervisor Bakery.
It looked like he snatched a good prize for himself.
? Shock: That bastard!
I was talking about Fugitive Senior, of course.
Chapter 331 - [21st Round] Beautiful Fantasy
Chapter 331 - [21st Round] Beautiful Fantasy
Kidnapping me is useless. When my grandmother saw my resignation letter, she locked me in the Fantasy Institution out of anger.
Is that so?
The music teacher was already attached to the world of Fantasy.
Therefore, she didnt run away and instead walked calmly with me.
Kidnapping her was like threatening a ghost with murder.
? Irritation: Junior! If she cant get back to me, lock her up so no one else can touch her. Send me my seven captured wives through the android in the shelter. This will conclude our agreement.
Let me take my time, Fugitive Senior.
The MAX-ss Hero had already given him Teacher Morals as a prepayment.
And by this time, I had already collected all seven teachers:
Math Teacher, Home Economics Teacher, Swimming Teacher, Chemistry Teacher, Gardening Teacher, Acting Teacher, and the Academic Affairs Department Head.
If we also included Music Teacher, then I had captured a total of eight of them. However, there was one small problem.
Music Teacher.
Call me Ssidiel.
Okay, CD.
I didnt allow you to give me any nicknames. But since I am older and I sing better than you, I will make an exception.
Well
Oops! My husband wanted me to pass something onto you. He said he lured all the teachers following grandma here so he can call an emergency meeting and put forward his candidacy for the vice-principal position without their interference in the voting process. Hehe! My husband is building a career!
Anything else?
Please dont hand the teachers over to the vile dictaphone. Everyone except Bianca got married again and even have children now. To win the other teachers over to your side, you should never separate them from their families, got it? And I, who sings so well, shouldnt be touched either. After all, my husband is going to be the vice-principal!
I wanted to hit this chicken, but I needed to talk to Fugitive Senior first.
Our agreement ran counter to Bakerys ns.
You heard her, didnt you?
? Confident: I dont care about their new marriages and children. And if you think so, arent my children, whom they gave birth to earlier, more important? Dont forget our agreement, junior.
In exchange for handing over the teachers to him, he would provide us with new students.
Bakerys n to get the teachers on our side was good.
But if there were no students in the school, the teachers would have no one to teach, making it difficult to justify our situation to the inspection team.
If the problem with our enrollees werent resolved, I wouldnt be able to terminate the agreement with the Fugitive Senior.
At that moment, CD spoke up again.
I work in the town hall, so I dont know much, but my husband said that many students would be admitted soon.
What do you mean?
I am not particrly interested in anything other than music and my husband, so I dont know the details. But a friend of mine at school, a health teacher, sometimes shares gossip.
I knew her.
She was the woman who gave me a lucky ring to be worn on my 21st finger.
? Suggestion: Junior! Dont listen to her nonsense and lock her up right now! If you do it, Ill double the number of new students!
Haha! I need to listen to the opinions of all parties, Fugitive Senior.
I inquired about her delirium.
Speak, CD.
I didnt even sing, but my throat still dried up. Lets go to a cafe.
Kh?! What did I do wrong Kh-kh! Why are you choking me?! Do you have any idea how important my throat is to me, a singer Kkh?! Sorry! I was wrong!
You should start learning how to sing with your cervical vertebrae.
I-I got it already! We wont go to an expensive cafe. Well just go home Kh?!
You dont sound like you understand! I thought I figured out why her senior was scolding her.
Ssosia immediately intervened. Do you see now how smart and useful of a wife I am, hubby?
This chicken is just weird.
Shes not weird. From my observations, Ssidiel is the most normal of all the women in Fantasy.
Ssosia.
Hmm?
Youre jealous again, arent you?
What?!
Why couldnt they grasp it?
Whenever I walked through the streets of City X, its female locals couldnt look away.
That was the standard here.
Hence, Ssosia and CD were the weird ones.
What do you think of this, noble First Spirit? Do you agree with your cowardly niece, who keeps making up her own fantasies?
Your behavior is unbing of you, my niece!
Even you, auntie?!
Objectively speaking, the Savage Hero is handsome. And I am well versed in this because I am the noble First Spirit of the universe!
What kind of logic is that?!
This is terrible!
Tskl! Lets go home soon!
Arriving on the outskirts of City X, Ssosia waved her wand towards the wastnd.
In a matter of seconds, a stone building was erected.
It was a three-story building that was twice the size of the town hall, thergest building in City X.
In other words, it was as excessive and vain as could be.
Thatst remark was unnecessary!
Dont read my mind.
I just dont want you to think about other women Ah.
Ssosia?
Dont say anything unless you want to be bitten by Mon.
Mon? Mon!
How cowardly! Using Master Mon is like activating a cheat code!
Whatever! Leave me alone!
With a flushed face, my cowardly wife stomped her way into our house.
Freeing herself from my grip, CDughed. You get along well~?
Shut up.
Lets go inside quickly. My throats dry. If left alone, itll start to hurt, and if it hurts, then I wont be able to talk. Thats why I dont only sing well but also y musical instruments perfectly.
Oh
I rubbed my temples with my fingertips to relieve my headache.
? Warning: You will regret this.
Wow! Fugitive Senior is amazing!
He was the first person to warn me twice.
I entered the house after Ssosia and CD.
It was time to hear their n to attract new students.
***
Before anything, I needed to learn more about the Fantasy Institution.
And by that, I didnt just mean financially.
Resources, technologies, personnel.
There are only two resources that are especially valuable in the universe. The cold metal Solonium, born in a world full of solitude. And the warm metal Romantium, born in a world full of love.
The rest of the resources werent that important.
Gold, silver, mithril, helium, ertel, hakontetrium, specialum, orichalcum, adamantium,ctotherium, galborn, hikhirokane, draconium, faeril, mercury, senehagaris, stadia, vibranium
There were asteroids out there that wererger than the moon and werepletely made of gold.
If only humanity could travel through space, then the prices of most metals considered rare and precious would plummet in price.
Lets get straight to the point, CD.
First things first. Fantasy isnt famous for its technology and personnel, but for its production of Romantium.
Oh
I wanted to hear about how they nned on getting new students.
But CD kept talking about the resources of the universe instead.
That brings me to the most important part of this conversation.
Hmm?
Fantasy is full of love and friendship, thanks to which it is able to producerge quantities of Romantium. Now, a question for the student! Have you ever heard of low fertility, divorce, abortion, and an aging poption here?
Didnt you get divorced?
My case with the vile dictaphone is an exception!
Then no.
But that still wasnt what I wanted to hear.
Im getting to it! Dont look at me like that.
Students, traveling through the world of Fantasy, fall in love withpanions and give birth to new life. Thats why the institution prefers male heroes more. If female heroes be pregnant, they would be forced to suspend their journey for at least a year.
And?
I thought I already got the gist of what CD wanted to say.
But I kept my silence.
I wanted to confirm it through her.
Where will the child born of a local Fantasy inhabitant and the hero go once the hero regresses, thus causing the world to restart?
I heard that theyre stored somewhere.
Supervisor Bakery once told me that.
Thats correct. Suppose a student graduates from secondary or tertiary education. That would allow them to take their children as their reward. However, most students actually stop at the primary education course, leaving their children to remain in the system forever.
And itll now be possible to awaken and enroll them in Fantasy as new students?
Exactly.
I closed my eyes and thought about it.
Problems such as parental consent or the humane side of the issue surfaced in my head, but the image of my son Chris, who was now studying at the Dukes academy, popped into my mind as well.
Ssosia interjected.
I have a question, Ssidiel. Why hadnt the second generation of heroes been epted as students up to this point?
Because they didnt know how useful they would be.
Hmm
But they couldnt just continue to collect them, so they began to release them little by little. They were born in the world of Fantasy, so they didnt begin their journey by being summoned. Rather, they were rebirthed into their ssrooms, just like your husband.
why didnt I start by being summoned?
I had always been curious about it.
Luke returned to Earth after graduation and died there. Whenever he regressed, however, he began not with rebirth but by being normally summoned.
Unlike him, I appeared in the womb of the princess of a ruined state.
What was the difference between us?
Demon Lord Pedonar.
Father-inw?
The fault is ours, but its more than just a mistake. The Demon Lord already registered you as his heir then.
Oh! Damn!
But you should be grateful. If it werent for the Demon Lord, you probably wouldnt have been summoned properly like the others, causing your soul to simply disappear. Having set a trap to kill the Demon Lord, the vile dictaphone definitely was the one who almost got you erased from existence.
Its time to put an end to our old grievances, Fugitive Senior.
? Consent: Youre right, junior. It was just a misunderstanding, a mistake of your colleague who mistook you for the Demon Lord. There shouldnt be any hard feelings between us.
Follow me, Ssosia.
Where?
The most handsome husband to ever exist in the world of Fantasy wants to take a walk with you on the moon.
A walk?
If you dont want to, then suit yourself.
I didnt say I didnt want to. You should stop making things up.
My cowardly little wife wrapped her hands around me and pressed herself against me.
You two get along well after all~?
Youreing with us.
I do not want to. I get to see this ce every day, so Im already tired of it.
Suit yourself.
I will never sing for rude men like you! ording to basic andmon etiquette, if ady refuses you once, you should ask her again three times. Bianca taught you poorly Hey! Wait for me!
? Exnation: The younger generation they speak of will prove themselves to be useless. After all, theyre the illegitimate children of foolish FFF-ss heroes who refused to kill the Demon Lord and created a family instead. epting them as students will just be a waste of time Junior, are you listening to me?
I left Ssosias house, which was filled with vanity.
After walking a little, I looked up and saw Fantasy amid the dark sky, covered in thick white clouds.
It was beautiful after all
Now I understood why scientists on Earth dreamed so much about traveling through space.
It would be selfish of me to admire such a beautifulndscape alone.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
I pulled the beautifully packaged teachers out of the Demon Vault.
Math Teacher, Home Economics Teacher, Swimming Teacher, Chemistry Teacher, Gardening Teacher, Acting Teacher, and the Academic Affairs Department Head.
Their arms and legs were tied, but due to the absence of gravity, they floated safely.
S-space?!
Where are we?!
Wait! Lets discuss everything
Sorry.
Untie me Ah?!
Help me! Please! I was wrong!
Disciple Kang Han Soo
They seemed to have a lot they wanted to tell me, but Id rather they spent their time admiring this beautiful view.
[Human]
It would soon disappear, after all.
I aimed my hand towards the teachers who were hovering between Fantasy and me.
Adios~?
sh!
The MAX-ss Righteous Hero had destroyed the evil teachers!
I showed mercy, so they disappeared without suffering.
I left the rest to Ssosia.
Aaaaaaaahhhhh! Stop destroying the! You cant just do whatever you want because youre handsome!
Chapter 332 - [21st Round] Immortality
Chapter 332 - [21st Round] Immortality
In the world of Fantasy, the dead could return to life, but there were certain conditions for it.
They had to be a student or a teachers aid.
They formed the backbone of the institution. Therefore, even if they didnt like it, even the best teachers had no choice but to be part of the system to be reborn.
? Astonishment: Junior! What have you done?! Did you kidnap them alive just so you could kill them all at once? Now that youve done that, theyll be part of the system, and I wont be able to pick them up anymore
Hahaha! Perhaps youll have to be content with Teacher Morals, Fugitive Senior.
With this, my agreement with him came to an end.
If the pathetic former music teacher had contacted me a little earlier, I wouldnt have had to travel all over Fantasy doing this nonsense.
But I didnt regret it.
[Spinal Cord]
[Human]
It reaped an unexpected harvest.
The teachers didnt want to teach me. Hence, as Master Mons disciple, I awakened these forces myself.
Since human possibilities were limitless, mybat power was also limitless.
This was the essence of the divine power [Human].
Nevertheless, such attacks couldnt be executed without any repercussions.
PSSS!
The skin on my right hand peeled off like a snake shedding.
And its regeneration is too slow.
I think thats a small price to pay for such a powerful offense, handsome husband.
Its just a little bit frustrating. I frowned as I watched the Fantasy revert back to its normal state as if time itself was being rewound.
I needed to be on full alert.
CRRGGHH!
My dearrade easily broke through the barrier I installed,ing straight at me at a time when I could only use my left hand.
Noebius.
Hended before me.
Have you prepared yourself?
Judging by the expression on his humanoid face, he seemed to be enraged.
The God-Creator of Fantasys wand didnt resurrect him. He survived my attack, which pulverized the.
Im surprised you lived through such a powerful st.
I couldnt save my children
And I only survived because I was next to him during your onught.
Two dragons, madly in love with each other, stood before me.
Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti, hiding behind her husband, mourned the loss of her children.
Hey, wait a minute, I
Bang!
They didnt leave any room for conversations.
The jet-ck dragon, formerly known as the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, also loved surprise attacks.
Not having time to defend myself, I had already flown far into space before I could use dark matter to stop my momentum.
Well, if this what you desire.
I wanted to exin myself since I was at fault here, but they preferred heading straight into battle, which I didnt mind.
I had been hoping to test my abilities against a powerful being!
[Spine]
[Darkness]
Compressing space, I quickly closed the distance between us and thrust my weapon forward, reinforced with dark matter.
You rely too much on strength.
What?
Fshuh!
With the back of his hand, Noebius hit me on the wrist and changed the trajectory of my attack, causing me to miss.
I was left with no other choice.
I used my right hand, which hadnt yet recovered.
[Spinal Cord]
FSH!
My right shoulder, arm, and back muscles swelled up.
Faster! Even faster!
Noebius aimed his sharp ws at my eyes, but that wasnt enough to get ahead of me.
Haah!
Noebius couldnt avoid my offensive.
SKRRR!
I immediately felt my right hands bones shatter.
However, Noebius suffered far more.
I had broken his spine, after all.
No matter how good anyones defenses were, my attack couldnt be avoided.
Give up Huh?
I admit, Im a little surprised.
At that moment, I witnessed how much potential Noebius had.
Body reconstruction.
As soon as his spine stopped functioning normally, the pitch-ck scales covering his entire body took over its role.
His motor and sensory nerves were now connected directly to his cerebral cortex, bypassing his spinal cord.
That was made possible by the dragon races ability to freely customize their dragonian form.
However, it was surprising that he responded so quickly without even knowing about my divine power.
I shouldve expected as much from myrade.
Go to hell!
We ended up on Moon B, linked to Moon A.
In its current state, my body wouldntst long, so I activated a long-sealed ability.
Dragon scales.
I got it from Noebius at the end of his life, and it was far superior in quality to the young Noebius scales in front of me.
However
Dark scales covered my entire body like armor, forcing the hair all over my body to fall out without exception.
Show me everything youre capable of, foolish traitor. In gratitude for what you did 2,000 years ago, I will not finish you off with one blow.
Ha! Do you see me as a weakling?
My right arm, which had previously be vulnerable, was now covered in scales, serving as my gauntlet.
I had an idea that I wanted to try.
[Human]
Due to his broken spine, Noebius was forced to support his body with his scales.
If I were to deliver a blow to his lower back strong enough to shatter his defenses, he would no longer be able to stand.
I just needed to find the perfect timing for it.
Come at me.
I was going to do that even if you didnt tell me anyway.
Noebius advised me not to rely on strength alone, but I had absorbed the skills and experience of many heroes from Fugitive Seniors house.
In this regard, I had everything under control.
But something was still amiss.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Moon Bs surface, which was hit by the shockwave from the collision of our limbs, cracked.
Why couldnt I win?
On the contrary, I even felt that I was being pushed aside.
If so
Bang!
I got you.
Noebius, thrusting his tail towards my chin from below, smiled contentedly.
But that was my line.
My trap caught young Noebius!
I assumed from the very beginning that he would attack that way, and I was right.
He moved exactly the same as he did when he was at the end of his years.
Hup!
I grabbed Noebiuss tail with my left hand to prevent him from escaping. Its sharp spikes scratched my palm. However, protected by my scales, my arm wasnt badly hurt.
Noebius defeated me with abo attack at the end of his previous life, but his current version hadnt reached that level yet.
[Human]
In theory, the physical force that I could apply to a blow was infinite, but my body had a limit.
That was the problem.
How hard should I hit Noebius?
It was time to find out.
Take this!
Kh?!
With my right hand, I hit young Noebius in the stomach.
Since its area of effect wasrge, the power of my attack that destroyed Fantasy weakened. Now, however, I concentrated all of it on one point.
Noebiuss scales were crushed into powder, and a gigantic shockwave swept through all of his organs.
PSSSS-!
My right arm was also damaged.
My fingers, with their scales peeling off, were hanging on like stretched snot.
This wasnt luck but the result of an urate calction of strength based on my experiences.
I limited the force of the blow to a desirable level.
However, the impact couldnt be said to have been weak, as Moon B was nearly blown out of orbit by the shockwave alone.
How are you still alive?
Youre too careless.
Noebius gave me an unusual response. Soon enough, his body began to recover very quickly.
Not only his scales but also his spine!
That could only be exined by another divine power being activated.
[Divine Dragon]
Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti!
The green lizard possessed divine power, albeit an insignificant one.
Normally, such a regeneration wasnt possible, but Noebiuss immense life force, coupled with his wifes ability, easily overwhelmed my divine power.
What kind of cheat is that?
However, I still had my left hand.
I wanted to solve this myself, but I would have to rely on my cowardly wife.
Enough.
Noebius grabbed my left arm and wrapped his tail around my waist, then began to squeeze.
You have be stronger. If not for the current circumstances, we could be friends.
Dont talk like youve already won.
[Human]
I would make him regret fighting me while relying on his wifes healing abilities.
Fshshsh!
Noebiuss strength was ridiculously great, but he couldnt be infinitely stronger like me.
I overpowered him little by little.
And then
[Taekwondo]
[Purity]
[Colossus]
[Rebirth]
[Indestructible]
[Chaos]
He unleashed numerous divine powers sealed within his humanoid body.
Thats insane!
Traitor, your power is impressive, but I havent been idle for the past 2,000 years either.
What do you mean? You literally slept through it!
And?
But I didnt waste my time either.
I activated my powers.
[Darkness]
[Spinal Cord]
[Human]
Quality was better than quantity.
And at this moment
Enough. This is where your games end.
Sir Noebius
Ssosia easily defeated the Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti.
However, she didnt use force.
Erdantis body was translucent as if she could disappear at any moment.
She used the system.
God-Creator
Noebius immediately gave up, unwrapping his tail around my body.
Phew!
It was really dangerous!
If I continued to try my best, I would hardly have lost, but my body wouldve suffered terrible consequences. For the rest of the day, Ssosia wouldve had to carry me in her arms.
Noebius, your children have been safely resurrected. So you can stop fighting. My cowardly wife informed him.
Did you intend to do this from the beginning?
Look at the. Not only your children, but all of its other inhabitants have resurrected.
If you said that right away
You hit my handsome husband in the face without even letting him speak!
Right.
Noebius dropped his gaze and stepped back.
Erdanti immediately flew up to him and hugged him, trembling all over.
I was so scared I thought I was going to disappear
Noebius said nothing.
Instead, he silently returned to his original form: a pitch-ck dragon.
Grrraaaahhhh!
Fshuh!
He uncurled three pairs of wings and disappeared instantly, returning to Fantasy.
He was so huge it looked like another moon had appeared in the sky.
I immediately felt it.
It was a warning
If I wasnt mistaken
[ck Dragon]
He was a god.
***
My best friend Noebius distracted me a little, but it was time to get down to business again.
What kind of business are we talking about, handsome husband?
Think about it.
Ipletely cleared the Fantasy by destroying it twice.
I dont know if its worth calling it a sweep, but all the residents except Noebius and Erdanti did indeed die at least once.
But what about the director?
Hmm?
If she, hiding somewhere in Fantasy, died, then we wouldve gained absolute control over the system. However, nothings changed.
I see where youre going with this now.
Right.
The director was on the moon, as we were.
Chapter 333: [21st Round] Today’s Destiny
Chapter 333: [21st Round] Todays Destiny
The search area is not as vast as it used to be, so lets not waste time and get right to it.
Fantasy was about half the size of Saturn, its diameter about five times that of the Earth, making searches problematic.
But Moon A was almost the same size as Earth, and Moon B was simr in size to the moon, which was about a quarter of Earths diameter.
Simply put:
Fantasy: 20 Mon
Moon A: 4 Mon
Moon B: 1 Mon
This was the form.
If the diameter of Moon B was 1 Mon, then Moon A had 4 Mons, and Fantasy had about 20 Mons.
To calcte the surface area, one would need to square the diameter, so it would take even more time to scour it.
Fantasy: 400 MonMon
Moon A: 16 MonMon
Moon B: 1 MonMon
If I needed 1 MonMon to survey Moon B, then Fantasy with its 400 MonMons would take me 400 times longer.
In other words, if I needed 400 hours topletely sweep through Fantasy, then itd take me 16 hours to do the same for Moon A and an hour for Moon B.
Hey, handsome husband.
Whats the matter? Why are you interrupting me in the middle of a ss?
I know youre trying to exin everything, but youre going to make me fall asleep.
Damn demon.
Id have to end my ss here due to my cowardly students bad behavior. The point was, it wouldnt take much time to probe Moons A and B.
I could just do a sweep, but because of my best friend Noebius, I wasnt in my best shape right now.
I shouldnt overwork myself. I needed to save my strength for my fight against the director.
So grandma lives somewhere around here? asked Music Teacher, sounding like she was the first to discover it.
Thats right, CD.
My name is Ssidiel! Where are you picking up such weird nicknames? I am the best singer in all of Fantasy! You should have heard of me!
I have not.
First, stop looking at me so suspiciously. I have lived on Fantasiart, listening to my higher-ups disgruntled screams, for almost 100 years, but I have never seen my grandmother.
That could be a lie. But CD probably wouldnt deceive me, considering the truth would still be revealed as soon as I finished searching Moons A and B.
Ssosia intervened.
Ssidiel.
Yes?
What does your grandmother look like? Does she look like a delicious donut? Or as a narrow vase?
A donut. She has a rather non-standard appearance, so its hard not to recognize her.
As expected
Ssosias expression seemed to say she expected as much.
We immediately set up a search in City X.
Ssosia.
What?
Why are you so happy?
All the girls are looking at me with envy. Im starting to like this strange city.
Grasping my hand, my cowardly wife took a selfie using a monphone.
Click.
Where did she learn that?
That wasnt even the end of it.
?Me: On a date with my handsome husband on Fantasy. 01.JPG (9:03)
?Me: On a date with my handsome husband on Fantasy. 02. JPG (9:03)
?Mom: Honey, where is it? (9:06)
?Me: Fantasys moon, Fantasiart. Theres a city here where all women consider my husband to be handsome. (9:06)
?Mom: The universe is so wide! I cant believe such anomalous ces exist. (9:07)
?Me: Im also extremely surprised, mom ^^ (9:07)
So she was the reason why my mother began to send me messages less often.
She was paying more attention to her cowardly daughter-inw than to her caring MAX-ss son!
Tears clouded my view.
?Mom: In the park with my beloved son. JPG (9:45)
?Mom: I was worried that I had ate birth, but the second son turned out to be strong. Hes growing up in very good health. (9:46)
?Me: Hes really very handsome. (9:46)
?Mom: He recently became a high school student council president. I was so surprised when the president of the country himself came to congratte us. (9:47)
?Me: Wow! Your second son is incredible! (9:47)
I wanted to ask if it was okay for the countrys president toe and congratte someone elses child for bing a student council president, but my mom and Ssosia didnt attach any importance to this.
What kind of second son did she give birth to?
What magic did he use for the president himself to follow him like a puppy?
In any case
Only the 2nd floor of the town hall remains.
If we couldnt find her there, then we would have to look outside the city.
I have already been up there several times, so I know theres nothing on the top floor except the mayors office and a conference room, CD said.
Ill find that out for myself.
Then Ill wait outside. I dont want to meet my senior again
Do what you want.
The town hall had no stairs. We were in a ce without gravity, after all.
Jumping up, I easilynded on the 2nd floor, finding only the mayors office and a conference room, just like what Music Teacher said.
Ssosia chuckled.
None of the houses or rooms here have any security. Apparently, they never even heard of doors here.
It would be funny if one of the heroes who gave up material goods and escaped to the moon turns out to be a thief.
Stolen goods couldnt even be sold anywhere here.
If one got here empty-handed, then there was nothing to do but hope for support from their own kind.
They discarded self-interest and strived for a quiet life.
In that sense, this city was like a nursing home.
The mayors office was empty.
If shes not in the conference room, then itll be problematic
She wasnt hiding in some underground bunker, was she?
If so, then it would be hard to find her.
At that moment, however, I heard voices from the other room.
I defended my beloved homnd from the ever-growing empire of vampires. I even dedicated my life to it. However, when I saw the Empresss husband, I realized that I was wasting my time. I realized that in front of him, I was like a child! (Omitted) While I was spending time on the borders of my country, the princess married another man. She had gotten drunk at one of the parties, and after a while, realized that she was pregnant Oh! Having lost the will to live, I ended up here
You had to go through a lot.
Will you ept even someone like me, angel?
Of course. Otherwise, you wouldnt be here.
Ah! Thank you.
Wee to your final resting ce. Stay here as long as your heart desires.
It felt like I just overheard someones confession.
The man who talked about his past looked like the protagonist of the novels Ssosia read. The woman sitting opposite of him listened to him without interruptions.
Perhaps that woman was the mayor of City X.
My eyes had been on her since I heard her voice.
Ssosia whispered, It seems we found her.
How do we proceed?
Ill figure it out myself.
She had long hair flowing down like a waterfall, a thin waist that made me wonder if she even had organs in her body, and a wide and voluptuous chest and buttocks that contrasted the rest of her body.
None of her features were memorable, but her faint smile and calm expressionpensated for what shecked.
She was definitely Rice Cake.
? Note: Not Rice Cake, but Hippolia, cadet Kang Han Soo. She may be Director Parmael, but
Thanks for the information, Trainee Teacher.
I nced at my cowardly wife.
Jump on your stingray.
Okay.
Se-e-e-e-e-x.
Mon~
As I prepared for a fight, I entered the conference room
And met her gaze.
Hi.
I dont remember being informed about your arrival, new hero.
Hmm?
Wait for a moment. Let me finish advising this person who came before you, and then I will take care of you.
Well
I hastily checked her stats.
? Race: First Angel
? Level: 19
? Job: Sick (Fighting Disease = Survival )
? Skills: Divinity GGG, Charm MAX, Breathing MAX, Survival MAX, Blessing MAX
? Status: Fixation, Split Personality, , Director, Saintess, Divine Dragon, , , Divine, , Infinity, Oblivion,
Aplete mess.
However, she was definitely the First Angel, judging by her race, First Angel, and Director status. She also had Saintess and Divine Dragon listed in her status.
The white squares in her condition strained my brain.
Stranger Huh?!
I immediately reacted to the voice I heard behind me.
The voice belonged to Angel A, whom Stranger A immediately grabbed by the throat.
Without taking my eyes off the director, I politely asked Angel A, Whats the matter, Angel A?
I am not Angel A Kh-kh! Stranger! I want to talk!
Speak.
I am the mayor of this city!
And?
You cant just grab the mayor by the throat Kh?! Stranger! Do whatever you want!
***
After that, I went to the mayors office.
But first
Let go! Let go of my hair! I do not want to be bald like you!
Hey, CD, exin yourself. How could you not recognize your own grandmother just because she lost a little weight?
A little?! Shes apletely different person! My grandmother had no eyes or neck to be seen!
Really? Dont worry. You can live without hair.
N-no!
She only escaped baldness thanks to an unexpected savior.
Ssidiel! How many times have I told you not to sing at the mayors office?
S-senior! Stop this savage pulling my hair A-ah?!
Ho ho ho! Did my junior trouble you, Handsome Hero? Follow me, Ssidiel.
W-wait. You will rip off my ears! Senior!?!
Music Teacher, who was trying toe up with stupid excuses, was dragged by the ear, leaving the mayor and me in her office.
Ssosia decided to watch the director from afar, sitting on her ramp-like stingray.
I plopped down on the sofa, saying, Exin.
I would like to discuss your ill-mannered behavior, but I still want to live, so Ill refrain from doing that. What do I need to exin?
Her.
If youre talking about the beautiful angel you saw in the conference room, then shes my daughter.
Do you really want to live?
adopted daughter. After I discovered her on Ssosiart, I brought her here and raised her like my daughter.
Is that all?
Must there be something else, stranger?
Im extremely annoyed right now. If I question her and something elsees up, you better pray that I give you a swift death.
W-well
Speak faster. Maybe then I will forgive you.
She couldnt remember anything, so I touched her Kh?!
Did you do something to her?
I couldnt! As soon as I touched her, the heavens immediately punished me!
Is that so.
Even if she lost her memory, she still had her instinct for self-preservation.
After thanking the mayor for taking care of Rice Cake, I presented him with a herniated disc and soon left the building.
Disgruntled, CD followed me as I rose into the air and crossed City X.
I soon saw Rice Cake, which Ssosia was watching from afar.
This is a newspaper publisher, Hero. You can find out thetest news about Fantasy here. New heroese here very often in their first few years.
I want to know more about you than about the news of the world of Fantasy, beautiful angel. Are you married?
I believe I am.
What?
Follow me, Hero. If you feel lonely, there is a church here. Have you heard about Mons Teachings? If you pray sincerely to him, youll be able to meet your destiny.
Rice Cake was giving the newly arrived hero, which I saw in the conference room, a city tour.
But this idiot seemed to be more interested in her than in the city.
And you believe in this heresy Ahem, in Mons Teachings?
Yes. I am His loyal follower.
So, have you already met your destiny?
Not yet
Then maybe today is that fateful day Kh?!
H-hero?!
Inded on this idiot, stepping between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.
Youre right. This is that fateful day.
Please dont put your feet on the Heros lower back Oh?
Crunch.
People didnt understand this.
They realized the importance of the spine only when it was already broken.
? Excitement: This is so romantic
Chapter 334: [21st Round] Beautiful Fantasy
Chapter 334: [21st Round] Beautiful Fantasy
Ive always been a little romantic, emotional Trainee Teacher.
There had been many women who actually died after loving the Righteous Hero.
The path of romance was a thorny one.
Here and now.
If I were an ordinary person, there would be nothing left of me.
[Light]
As the mayor said, the directors protective instinct was impressive. As soon as I touched her, she elerated my aging process.
But I was the Second Demon Lord.
My life energy was limitless.
Aaah
She hadnt remembered anything yet, but her body was honest.
As soon as I stroked her waist with my left hand, caressing her between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, her arms immediately wrapped around my neck to demand more love, forgetting that she was trying to push me away.
I could feel it.
Youre back.
Feeling my masters warmth again makes me happy.
Wait.
I had a lot to say, but ousting the evil director from her flesh had toe first.
Please dont do that.
I can do it.
I know. My master is capable of anything, but I have no future. You must get rid of me with Parmael.
Ssosia!
I summoned the God-Creator.
Rice Cake was born as part of the Fantasy system. Perhaps there is a way that I am not aware of.
Se-e-e-ex!
Husband! Step aside.
I stepped back carefully.
We havent seen each other in so long, my niece.
Do not call me that, Hippolia! Youre making me cringe!
Hohoho
Damn! My aunt is already trying to gain control!
I am d that my owner found me before the teachers did. Thanks to you, I was able to wake up first, but I dont have much time. Please kill us before Parmael takes control of my soul again.
I closed my eyes.
To be honest, this was confusing.
Rice Cake was still alive, but I had to get rid of her
Ah! If so!
I didnt have time to check if this would work, but
[Human]
My possibilities were endless.
I would not hesitate.
Hippolia.
Master, kill me
Shut up and listen to me! Appoint the Second Demon as the Second Director! Ill provide everything!
Huh? Yes!
I was the Second Demon Lord.
Pedonar, my father-inw, changed my destiny using Ssosia, born with the curse of being second, as a medium.
I applied the same principle.
However, this time I would be the medium.
Rice Cake a?? Kang Han Soo a?? Ssosia
Me and Rice Cake, as master and ve, were linked by chaos. Ssosia and I, as husband and wife, were bound by fate.
I will not give up on you.
I believed in human capabilities.
It wasnt just that I became strong.
[Human]
[Spinal Cord]
I gingerly grabbed Hippolias cervical region between her 6th and 7th vertebrae and gave my sensory nerves an order.
I looked back at what my father-inw said back then and imitated him.
Cursed Second Demon! Let your curse free you from your shackles of darkness and be the Second Angel! ept the fate the universe itself prepared for you!
The First Angel dly epts this fate! Shouted the First Angel, who loved the Righteous Hero.
The effect manifested immediately.
[Light]
[Darkness]
In my soul, two opposing divine forces shed.
Since I was already the Second Demon Lord, this condition put me in danger.
Fortunately, I had a wife who would always be second.
Ssosia! ept it!
W-wait! I need to prepare
Shut up and ept it!
Mmm?!
I had imnted Light in Ssosia, which, one might say, was the essence of Director Parmael.
Her body swiftly changed.
Demon horns fell from Ssosias head, and her skin color became lighter.
Her hair that ran down to her cowardly pelvis and the three pairs of ethereal wings that grew on her back were dyedvender.
She was no longer an evil incarnate.
Her stats had also changed.
? Race: Second Luciel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Director (Teacher Level 0)
? Skills: Divinity GGG, Dark Energy GGG, Light GGG, Darkness GGG, Charm GGG
? Status: eptance
I took a look at Ssosias new race, Second Luciel.
? Type: Race
? Name: Second Luciel
? Rank: Unique
? Unique 1: Always second.
? Unique 2: Second Demon.
? Unique 3: Second Angel.
? Feature 1: Time.
? Feature 2: Light.
? Race 1: Pet of the Second Demon Lord.
? Race 2: Imbued with a second soul.
I didnt have to study it in detail.
As soon as I saw the mention of second soul, I immediately took action.
[Darkness]
[Spine]
[Human]
I shattered Parmaels spine.
And blew her head off.
And ttened her body with space.
Bang!
But immediately after that
Pshshshshh!
Parmaels body, ttened after losing her head, began to swell rapidly.
Youre still alive?
She even fully regenerated her head.
However, in appearance, she was no longer Saintess H.
Thats grandma!
Auntie.
Traitor!
Lord, what was this monster?
This creature had neither a neck nor a waist. With every movement, her belly swayed like a balloon of water. I couldnt even tell if her eyes were open or closed. Not to mention
No, I should stop there.
It was hard to describe her.
Bards said it was difficult to find the right words in front of true beauty, but we simply hadnt yete up with the appropriate words for the creature in front of us.
How dare you?!
Only her nasal voice was proof that this strange creature was a woman.
Fshuh! Fshuh! Fshuh!
As a bonus, white wings fluttered behind her, symbolizing her race.
? Race: First Angel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Queen (Charm Domination )
? Skills: Divinity GGG, Strength G, Obesity MAX, Flight MAX, Weight MAX
? Status: Dislocation, Fracture, Obesity, , Rage, , , Holy, , Destion,
Her stats werent impressive. She didnt die solely due to her First Angel race.
The firsts would never disappear.
They would continue to exist in the universe, even if they lost their divine power and became nondescript since that was the order andw of the universe.
She was still dangerous.
It was fortunate that I deprived her of her Light. The second round of our battle wouldve begun otherwise.
Its over, former director.
I snapped my fingers.
Since she didnt die, I could justpress her flesh and lock her in a dark space.
[Darkness]
But Parmael overcame its pressure with her strength alone, allowing her to rush at me.
Give it back!
I dont even want to touch you.
However, without the Righteous Hero, nobody would be able to defeat this hideous evil!
Pop!
I summoned the Perfect Holy Sword.
Noebius reced his spine with scales, and Parmael supported her body with massive flesh.
However, my sword would be useful as a club.
Ssh!
Contrary to my expectations, my weapon couldnt damage her and sank into her flesh instead.
It was evil that transcended justice.
For the first time, I felt goosebumps all over my skin.
Hohoho!
Go away!
Hohokh?!
I grabbed onto Parmaels flesh with both hands and tore it open.
Blood and guts poured out, but she didnt die.
Stop resisting!
You pathetic bastard Pha?!
[Human]
I gutted her like a chicken.
PSHSHSH!
But she recovered again.
I fought against her, holding back my nausea, but my sense of justice gradually dwindled as I saw no end to this fight.
Despite the loss of her divine power, Parmael still possessed immense Divinity as the First Angel.
I was a god, so I beat her unterally.
But it wasnt enough to make her stay down.
Hohoho!
Youre way too stubborn!
Cadet Kang Han Soo, I wish I had dealt with you sooner. I should have gotten rid of you as soon as you got FFF for personality.
Really?
But I decided it would be a waste, considering you wouldve been a useful hound due to your highbat power. However, I didnt expect my dog to growl at its own master Pha?!
Ill make a great stuffed chicken out of you!
I didnt raise my power to such levels from my very first round because I wanted to.
I needed to be strong because of mypanions.
The power of friendship? Power of love?
That was funny.
Hohoho! You cant destroy me. I have many allies in the universe serving me. Soon, they wille to my aid.
Do you think theyll reach you in time?
My God! How frivolous. Even though you have be a deity, you still cant drop human emotions. I am Parmael, the First Angel! I am fundamentally different from small creatures like you.
Well see about that.
Parmaels existence was so surreal that itpletely ruined my imagination.
How could I deal with her?
Let me handle this, handsome husband.
Hm?
Im done with my preparations. Watch closely.
Ssosia stepped forward.
Parmael, once again rebuilding her body, rushed forward, pping her wings.
Ssosia didnt move. Instead, she made a confident deration.
Heed my decree as the Fantasy Director. First Angel Parmael, I hereby appoint you as a teacher.
How dare you
If you do not stop this insolence, teacher Parmael, you shall be punished.
Hohoho! Dont make meugh, my niece! This world is mine! Nobody can take Fantasy away from me!
Punishment.
This world A-ah?!
Even though Ssosia didnt even touch her, Parmael began to roll on the ground with a terrible cry.
And she never got up again.
The reason was simple.
? Race: First Angel
? Level: 0
? Job: Queen (Charm Domination )
? Skills: Divinity GGG, Strength G, Obesity MAX, Flight MAX, Weight MAX
? Status: Death, Dislocation, Fracture, Obesity, , Rage, , , Holy, , Destion,
Parmaels level was reduced to 0, and in her status, Death appeared.
But thanks to the effect of her race, she quickly came to life. However, she could no longer move since she didnt even have the strength to support her massive body.
Ssosia calmly spoke.
Your treacherous days havee to an end, my aunt.
Oh, dont be ridiculous
I am no longer your clone, Parmael.
Stop! You
Our souls share one body. I am now known as Ssosiel, the other Fallen Angel. Master Parmael, please continue to behave properly from now on.
Oh no You cant
Parmael, whose body became more and more transparent, soonpletely disappeared.
My wife had be the perfect God-Creator.
The system developer and system operator had be one.
Is this the end? I carefully asked my wife, who had acquired absolute power.
Would I finally be able to return to my home?
Ssosia, holding my hand, answered with a smile.
No.
Hooray! The Righteous Heros return has finallye!
I said no.
Ssosia! Please!
Master Mon! Please scold this cowardly Fallen Angel for trampling on the hopes and dreams of an innocent hero!
Mon? Mon
Chapter 335: [21st Round] Idiots
Chapter 335: [21st Round] Idiots
Why?!
Try to calm down by touching the lustful body of your wife, and listen to me, master.
Wait! Wait a second! Thats not what I wanted to say! I am a noble ve, not a lustful one Hey! Stop interfering! Ill deal with my handsome husband myself!
My cowardly wife showed symptoms of schizophrenia.
Would she be okay?
With her face flushed, she sighed.
Im fine. This is 100 times better than teaming up with my aunt.
Oh Dont even mention her, Ssosia.
Call me Ssosiel, master.
Hmm How about Ssosia Cake?
No! Where did you even get such nonsense?! Dont get carried away either! That name is sphemous!
Okay, stop yelling. Exin why I cant go back already.
I needed to know why I wasnt allowed to return to my home even though I had fulfilled my duty as the Righteous Hero and defeated the evil that lurked within Fantasy.
Ssosiel replied, In earthly terms, my aunt issued bonds to attract powerful beings in the universe as allies.
Bonds?
Oh, Im sorry. Thats probably too advanced for you.
Youre about to get divorced.
I asked again not because I didnt know what bonds were but because I did not expect to hear this term here.
Bonds.
Essentially, it was when a country orpany borrowed money from the poption by signing a contract that stated, Trust me! I will definitely repay my debt!
So, what about the creditworthiness of the Fantasy Institution?
You forgot? The Dimension of Fantasy is the source of Romantium, one of the two rarest metals. Thats why love and friendship are so actively promoted here.
So?
If we fail to pay off all the bonds issued by my aunt, we will be bogged down in a deep pit of debt, which would mean creditors will haunt us forever.
It was Parmaels doing. Make her take responsibility.
Unfortunately, these debts werent under her name. She got them in the name of management.
What if we sell the institution?
Along with us?
Oh, right
The system, which was the core of the Fantasy Institution, relied on the power of the Demon Lord and Director.
That made us inseparable from the system.
I had defeated evil as the Righteous Hero, but that obese woman left behind a bunch of crap that we now needed to clean up.
The only way out for us is to abide by the rules?
Yes. We just need to pay off the debt little by little through selling the Romantium produced here.
Can we at least arrange a vacation?
No. If we leave the Fantasy dimension, its energy supply will stop, paralyzing the system. Real hell will unfold here. We are only allowed to visit the neighboring known as Parmael. We can do that anytime.
The ce where the Festival of Heroes was held?
Yes.
Then its settled!
What?
We need to move my parents there.
Ah! Hubby, are you a genius?
This is nothing for a hero like me.
The reason I wanted to go home was that I wanted to take care of my parents.
Regaining my life as a civilized citizen was nothing more than a secondary cause.
You are a wonderful son, Savage Hero!
I am, arent I? Continue praising me.
I had already drawn up a rough n of further actions.
I could just leave the debts to my wife and go live with my parents in the Festival dimension.
You are the worst husband!
Has your MAX-ss husband not done enough for your sess?
What else did she want?
Thanks to you, my husband, I became the Director of Fantasy, but if I were to lead this institution, itd end in failure.
Why?
Because I am destined to be second. If I take the initiative in any endeavor, Im bound to fail. Significant results are obtained only when I act as an assistant in the background.
What if you hire a professional manager?
No.
Whats wrong with that?
Youre the only one who can take first ce for me. And youre the only one I can effectively work with.
Since when did my cowardly wife be so outspoken?
Ssosiel, who had already begun to regret what she had said, muttered, covering her face with both hands, This cant get worse
Dont worry. Your MAX-ss husband will pat your spine to calm you down.
How would that help me calm down Huh? My body suddenly feels rxed.
Lets think about the rest tomorrow.
I headed to the mansion with my limping wife.
Ssosia and Rice Cake fused, so their spine definitely wouldve changed. I wanted to take a close look at where and how it changed.
Have a great time~?
Se-e-e-ex!
***
My wifes medical examination carried out throughout the night went well. She turned out to bepletely healthy.
I even reexamined her twenty times, but her diagnostic results remained incredible.
She was very healthy!
Do I look healthy to you? I thought I was going to die yesterday!
Dont be timid, Ssosia. Youre still alive, arent you? Thats enough proof that youre healthy.
My niece is very, very healthy! Hehehe!
Oh
Now, lets get to work.
We had a lot of work to do, from restructuring Fantasys faculty that made corruption flourish to reorganizing its ineffective curriculum.
In addition, we needed to catch system bugs hiding throughout Fantasy.
Ssosia Cake exined how we should deal with it.
Dont call me that.
But I like it
Me too! Hey?! No! Not a chance!
Okay, okay, exin already.
The system, 69% of which was previously damaged due to a fight between my husband and my aunt, has already been stabilized again. However, the bugs that appeared while it was being fixed still remain. We have no choice but to find and fix them one by one.
Let the teachers take care of it.
I only came up with this now, but it seemed like a really usible idea.
I n to visit the faculty roomter, but we have a staffing problem now because too many teachers have been sent to look for my aunt.
Then I rmend Trainee Teacher!
I already appointed her.
Oh? When did you find the time to do that?
She watched my husband mock me, so I sent her to the faculty room to stop her from messing around.
This is tyranny!
No! Its a perfectly normal thing to do!
Im sorry, Trainee Teacher.
Having ovee evil, did I bring forth even greater evil into this world?
However, it was already toote for regrets.
Evil had already taken root.
Dont make your good wife sound evil! Trainee Teacher was very happy with my decision.
Oh, how is that possible
Did my secret friend, whom I spent such a long time with, actually hate me all along?
Why do you turn into aplete idiot whenever Trainee Teachers involved?
Because shes beautiful.
There was no need for any other reason.
Oh Dont get me wrong, hubby. She was happy because she was epted as a teacher. The next time you meet her, shell already be an ethics teacher.
Ah!
The day when the wild world of Fantasy would take the right path wasnt so far away anymore!
Im a little worried because my husband has already stained her, though
Dont worry!
Trainee Teachers beautiful body and soul could handle it!
It was time for us to get down to business.
Before Monsofts inspection team arrived, we needed to catch bugs and create the optimal environment for education.
There was no time to rest.
Dear Director Ssosiel~ CD immediately flew to us, the former music teacher who was now supposed to work in the town hall.
And then
Bam!
She fell to her knees in front of my cowardly wife.
Whats the matter?
Director! I really want to sing!
So sing.
My demon-like senior wont allow me to sing at work!
Isnt that logical? I didnt even have anything to say to her idiocy.
Hastily, CD added, I resigned from my position as a teacher because I didnt want to obey my grandmother, but I want to sing and y musical instruments again for the students!
Husband?
Student Kang Han Soo, the most beautiful student in the Fantasy dimension! Please give me another chance The two womens eyes were fixed on me.
CDs reinstatement. Hmm.
The Most Handsome Hero in the Fantasy Dimension nodded.
Then its decided. Angel Ssidiel, I am appointing you as a teacher.
Thanks! Hooray! Im finally free! I will work hard!
CD disappeared, humming happily to itself.
At that moment, the boy, who had been silent since yesterday, spoke up.
What should I do, father? Green Cake said, who was finally ripped away from his nursing tit.
When he was separated from Parmael, he regained his independence.
Now, he was an entity that was currently not attached to anyone.
Just like a student.

From race to skills, his stats were insane.
He was no match for a perfect deity, but he had nothing to fear in the world of Fantasy.
He also became an apostle to Ssosiel and me.
[Darkness]
[Light]
I wanted to lend him Human and Spine, but it didnt work.
That meant I hadnt yet reached the point where I could transfer them to others.
I wasnt disappointed, however.
That only served as proof that I still had opportunities for further growth and development.
I replied, Im not saying this because I want you to continue following me in silence and not because I forgot about you.
Cowardly husband, what is that excuse? You raised Green Cake well Hey?! Why are all our thoughts contradictory?
I want to entrust you with a very important task.
What is it?
Keep doing what youve done before.
We left Moon A and returned to Fantasy.
***
There were about 300 days left before the Monsoft inspection teams arrival.
We needed to hold an inspection of our own before then.
Great Demon Lord! This is Monphone 2, which the heroes will be provided with. The flying ship waiting for you in the sky has also been upgraded and is now known as Monfors 2. We promise to destroy anyone who so much as attempts to block your path.
Good.
We started from the Western Continent.
Shakespeare presented a new invention.
Please take a look at this android that will be working on Monfors 2, Demon Lord and Mrs. Director.
? Race: Super Android
? Level: 1
? Job: Scientist (Knowledge = Magic )
? Skills: Magic F, Magic power F, Learning F
? Status: Blocked
That wasnt impressive at all.
What was there to look at?
It wasnt even made of the best materials, like Boris, who protected the Demon Lords tower, so even its durability was low.
As if reading my thoughts, Shakespeare exined.
We used the cheapest materials for it. Even if heroes defeat it and sell its parts, it wont make them any money. Its economical design is ideal for mass production.
Hmm
It still had no point, though?
This android is designed for hunting heroes. It wont give them time to rest and will force them to move on. While fighting, it will learn and share its experience with others of its kind. Even if they were to destroy it, its level is so low that the heroes wont be able to grow stronger from it. Please look at it again.
? Race: Super Android
? Level: 1
? Job: Scientist (Knowledge = Magic )
? Skills: Magic MAX, Magic Power MAX, Sword Mastery MAX, Training MAX, Ninjutsu MAX, Shooting Bow MAX, Spear Mastery MAX, Witchcraft MAX, Strength MAX, Martial Arts MAX
? Status: Blocked
I immediately saw how this android got stronger.
Since it was only level 1, its skills wouldnt be as powerful, but its truebat skills would be much higher than MAX.
It was truly a natural enemy of heroes!
Excellent.
To date, 741 units have been produced, and we n to produce an additional 100 units every day and send them to Monfors 2.
I like everything about it except for its weak appearance.
Thats the highlight of it. It looks like a fragile beauty, but in reality, its powerful. Mmhmm.
You have unique tastes.
Ssosiel, who was quietly listening to us, raised a question.
And how should the heroes ovee these difficulties?
Shakespeare and I looked at each other before replying.
Thats the point.
They cant.
Tyrannical Director Ssosiel immediately roared.
Are you two idiots?! Do you want no one to graduate from here?!
Chapter 336 - [21st Round] Is This for Real?
Chapter 336 - [21st Round] Is This for Real?
Due to the intervention of my cowardly wife, the androids design was slightly changed.
An inexpensive gem was inserted into their cores as a reward for the heroes who defeated them. Since their production cost had increased, instead of 100, only 20 units would be produced per day.
That wasnt all.
Lets add a scenario ording to which the forces of evil seized one of the android-producing factories and added hunting heroes into the androids program.
Not bad.
The androids are yet to be named, though. Any ideas, hubby?
Bianca.
That was Teacher Morals name.
Im surprised you still havent forgotten her name.
Naturally!
That was the end of our affairs on the Western Continent.
Before leaving, I gave Shakespeare an assignment.
If the Heroes to visit you, do not drive them away. Rather, give them a warm wee and lend them a good weapon.
Ahh! Do you mean we should rent them out?
Oh. Uh, yes.
Understood. Ill prepare a weapon so incredible they wont be able to pay for its fees in their entire life if its destroyed.
Good. That makes me feel at ease.
In my 1st round, no kingdom supported me, so I had a rather difficult time. I couldnt even afford a good weapon since I spent my money on our daily travel expenses.
My juniors, however, would receive my full support, ensuring they would progress quickly.
Are youing, handsome husband?
Se-e-e-ex!
My cowardly wife, standing on her stingray, rushed me.
She could teleport anywhere within Fantasy, but my conceited wife loved using this ride.
Lets go. Green Cake, follow me.
Yes, father.
Our next destination was the Southern Continent, which giants ruled.
***
Large-scale construction was underway on the Southern Continent.
The pce, which Captain Fantasys butt had ttened, was rebuilt almost immediately after my departure that time.
Then what are they building here?
Judging by the scale and amount of building materials, what they had in mind was much more than just a pce.
I decided to ask Girl A passing by
Handsome husband! Wait!
What?
You were going to grab her by the throat and me everything on the fact that your hand just slipped, werent you?
This time I was going to grab her not by her neck but by her lower back.
In any case, dont do anything stupid! From here on out, if its not for something important, you should only touch me. If you touch other women, I will tell your mother everything.
That interferes with ourmon cause!
Hmmm~ Swear as much as you want~
Se-e-e-ex
My vile wife got off her stingray and, pretending to be a good samaritan, approached Girl A, Excuse me, can I ask you something?
Ah? Oh! Youre so beautiful. Yes! Ask away.
What are they constructing there?
A bronze statue in honor of the greatest child, the teacher of His Majesty. Im not sure about the details myself, but my mother says that itll serve as a symbol of eternal humility.\''
That was pretty shocking.
They built a structure so high that it could tten even a giant in the event of a fall.
What was up with this waste of public funds?
Did you hear what she said, handsome husband? They want to build a statue dedicated to Captain Fantasy. What are you even nning to do here?
I need to show the heroes who are too keen on anime how important the difference in weight categories is.
I dont understand you
Think of it this way. Can you, without using the system, get rid of Captain Fantasy if he pinches you?
No.
I want to convey this idea to my juniors. No matter how powerful they are, theyll simply die if they get sat on by Captain Fantasy.
I see!
We headed towards the royal pce, which didnt seem so glorious anymore due to the construction site unfolding nearby.
Nothing stood in our way.
They were confident that no one would dare enter it with evil intentions, even if they didnt leave guards at the entrance.
Just considering the military power of the Giant Empire alone would derail anyone from even thinking ofmitting a crime here.
They were not as strong as dragons, but one giant wasparable to 100 humans with the same skills as the giant.
However, that was all in the past.
In the 5th curriculum, the giants were no longer stupid savages.
They had be intelligent, even to the point of using flush toilets. Hence, their skills had grown far more.
? Race: Combat Giant
? Level: 791
? Job: Soldier (Crowd Fighting Spirit )
? Skills: Fighting Spirit S, Faith S, Fishing A, Hunting B, Endurance B
? Status: Good
That was Soldier Ds stats, an ordinary giant patrolling the royal pce.
Skills varied from giant to giant, but on average, they wereparable to those of a knight captain in the human kingdom.
That was despite the fact that this was an ordinary soldier.
Such growth was possible due to the use of theirrge size when hunting huge monsters.
The difference is too great.
The Giant Empire continued to develop throughout the past 2,000 years.
When humans first learned to cross the river, giants were already crossing the seas.
That gap had only increased over time.
Naturally, the Western Continent wasnt part of that gap.
Shakespeare could single-handedly annihte the entire Southern Continent.
Thats because of you, hubby.
Theres nothing to worry about. The Giant Empire isnt the only civilization upying the Southern Continent.
There was also the Elf Empire that the wretched Elf King ruled.
I hope you keep your promise and send me into his arms, Sir Hero.
Did her sensors perk up?
Shadow A had been silent for a long time, but she was now suddenly making demands.
Of course, I hadnt forgotten about it.
Shadow A wasnt particrly useful, but I was able to take advantage of her position as an honorary teacher.
And I was used to keeping my promises.
However, if I acted recklessly, chaos would ensue.
After all, the Elf King yed too important a role.
Here and now
Greatest King of the Giants, thanks to your grace, our two races have been able to coexist in harmony for 2,000 years. A race as weak and unsuitable for giants as ours continues to exist only thanks to you. As the representative of the elves, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hahaha! Ive always liked the way you put things into words, Elfheim! You just cant seem to go wrong!
I hope for your support this year as well.
Hahaha! Do not worry! I am the greatest Giant King. I will fulfill the request of my fragile son. Elves will continue to be able to live under my protection.
Thank you.
The two elves were talking while sitting at a huge table.
Giant King Phoenix.
Elf King Elfheim.
Lovely maids were serving them.
Ssosiel.
Hmm?
I thought there were two souls in Giant King Phoenix. It seems one of them disappearedpletely.
They still coexist.
In what way?
I could only see First Elf King Phoenixs identity.
The Elf King was indeed able to push back the Giant King due to his life experience and aggression, but his mindset has changed a lot. If only Phoenix existed in that body, then the Giant Empire would havee to an end long ago.
Ah Thats right.
Do not worry.
Huh?
We are one. Neither of us will disappear or be swallowed by the other.
Why did you suddenly say that?
I didnt even care. I asked only because her situation was simr.
Seriously, why?
Hehehe! I apologize for making fun of you, handsome hubby. You can whip me in the ass for my cocky behavior Huh?! No! Forget what I just said!
We walked slowly towards the Giant King and Elf King.
Elven knights and soldiers who didnt know me drew their swords and raised their shields, silently warning us not toe close.
The giants reacted differently.
Kneeling, they bowed their heads in respect.
Who Ah!
The Giant King didnt notice my presence since he focused on listening to Elfheims speeches. Hence, when he finally did, he jumped off his chair in fear.
Looking around, he exhaled with relief.
Hey. How many days have we not seen each other? I said, waving my hand.
The greatest prophet who spread flush toilets and Mons Teachings! The powerful Demon Lord that even legends cannot defeat! The Giant Empire and I feel sincerely honored to be in your presence!
Although no one forced or even told him to do so, Phoenix fell to his knees and nted his forehead on the cold floor.
It wasnt in vain that Captain Fantasy taught him a lesson with his ass, after all.
Haha! Thank you for your hospitality.
My soul felt satisfied, witnessing the ruler of one of the most powerful nations in Fantasy bowing to me.
The child
Should I call him?
N-dont! Hes probably asleep Theres no need to wake him up! We even decided to erect a monument in his honor to celebrate his achievements!
I need to ask you something.
Please speak your mind! Ill willingly answer all of your questions and do your bidding for as long as it isnt to be his seat cushion
Its nothing special.
Thanks to Captain Fantasys efforts, I could easily conduct business on the Southern Continent.
Giant King Phoenix promised not to crush the heroes like insects when they arrive, but instead, to warmly wee them.
Would it be possible to ask for more details
Do not ignore them just because they are pitiful humans. Give them a warm wee and show them how the giants live instead. Let the heroes and theirpanions learn a thing or two from your kind.
Ah! Understood. You want us to show the heroes how our race lives to make them realize how insignificant and little they are, just like how the great child once enlightened me.
Sort of, I answered evasively, showing my Righteous Heros smile.
Things wouldnt go exactly as the Giant King Phoenix imagined.
My juniors would definitely find a way to ovee the difference in weight sses!
I didnt know how they would do it myself, though.
Hey, hubby? Dont you think too highly of heroes? You used to look down on them because they were social outcasts.
Theyll ovee everything they find difficult with the pitiful power of friendship.
Ah!
I would like them to cope on their own, like me, but thats too much to ask for from losers like them.
Is that your low expectations?
Why? Do you need me to lower them further?
It seems to me that you should. Heroes need to be handled with care, like newborns. If you treat them like you treat me, theyll break swiftly.
That was an urateparison. I didnt expect to hear it from my cowardly wife.
Newborn children.
I agreed with her.
Youre right, Ssosiel. We must have faith in human possibilities
Those possibilities are only essible to you! Dont be stubborn and listen to me!
Ssosiel had made a few corrections to my message to Giant King Phoenix.
For example, she told him to let the heroes experience the life of giants for themselves but not force them to use flush toilets the size of a pond.
Wasnt she underestimating my juniors too much?
Would there ever be a hero that drowned in a toilet?
Are you done, Ssosiel?
Yeah.
Then
After finishing my business with the Giant King, I turned to the pathetic Elf King.
He seemed like he wanted to tell me something.
Would you mind if I intervene in your interesting conversation?
Of course not.
Save Kh?!
Grabbing the Elf Kings cervical vertebrae with my right hand, I said, Hey, bug, what happened to the real Elf King?
What are you talking about
Then die.
Without a moments hesitation, I broke his neck.
Jumping out of my shadow, Shadow A fell to her knees in front of him, horror enveloping her face.
Crying, she shouted, What was that for?!
I said it was a bug. Take a look yourself.
The Elven King, with a broken neck, jumped to his feet again like a tumbler.
His face remained the same, but his expression had be distorted. That change alone made him look like apletely different person.
How did you know Im not real? I thought I copied him perfectly, considering Ive never been caught before.
Its simple.
Simple?
I nonchntly replied, The Elfheim I know will never take his eyes off a womans breasts.
What?
A womans breasts. Never heard of them?
What the hell?! Are you serious?!
Unfortunately, I am.
There was nothing I could do about it. The elf he copied behaved exactly that way.
Chapter 337 - [21st Round] It’s Hard to Act!
Chapter 337 - [21st Round] Its Hard to Act!
After that, there was nothing I could do.
Leave this to me, hubby.
As soon as my cowardly wife reached out her hand in the direction of the bug and snapped her fingers, he immediately disappeared.
That was the power of the God-Creator.
In the world of Fantasy, the only way to resist it was to be God themselves.
But that wasnt all.
She could view someone elses personal file.
***
I could look into my seniors past with the help of the Chaos Artifacts, and Ssosiel used a simr principle.
The difference was that she could look into the persons past directly through the person themselves.
Usually, faculty members could only look through the students personal files, but there were no such conditions and restrictions for Ssosiel, the God-Creator of Fantasy.
Able to peer into the history of any living creature in Fantasy, she checked the bugs life history.
Starting from the day it appeared.
My king, is there something bothering you?
I think the queens breasts are as beautiful as always, Esillis, said the dejected Elf King, sitting by the window, from where Companion A and Companion B could be seen.
The queen lying on the bed frowned in response.
Really? And now I see that the king is very small and limp as if I do not excite him at all.
Ahem, ahem!
Cant you honestly tell me your worries?
Elfheim, you are my light, my master, my teacher, my senior, my love, my man, my husband. I lived only for you from the day Your Majesty saved me from the ck market auction on the Central Continent. Gazing into Your Majestys eyes, I immediately see what you think of the breasts of that human maid.
Oh, thats a little scary
Hoo-hoo-hoo! Since time immemorial, females have had an extraordinary intuition. I became your first queen, knowing you will be a great ruler.
That is a tant fraud
The queen carefully descended from their bed and approached Elfheim, covering her naked body with a thin nket.
Kneeling in front of him, she pressed her cheek against his thigh and whispered, Great Elf King.
Elfheim, you gave up all the wealth of the Lanuberk family to save your dirty people. You are everything to us.
If not for me, another elf would have done it anyway.
If that were true, we wouldnt have been feeding on insects for thousands of years.
Thats the First Elf Kings fault
Im sure youre aware, Third Elf King, that the history of this country is very simple. If youre happy, all elves are happy, and if youre sick, all elves are sick. If youre sad, all elves are sad. Likewise if you die, our race will perish.
There is nothing eternal in the world. Not even me.
There was once a time when Your Majesty looked at my chest and said, Even if the future looks bleak, do not give up.\''
Did I really say that?
Yes. Due to my young age, I couldnt understand what you were talking about then.
A bleak future Right.
I look forward to the day when you tell me about your concerns.
Thank you, Esillis.
If you want to express your gratitude, then spend your energy on me. I want to have your baby as soon as possible.
Hahaha
I will prepare you a snack so you can gather strength before nightfall, sir.
The queen came out of the bedroom with a strange smile on her face, leaving Elf King Elfheim alone in the room, muttering to himself, Is there anything darker than the future where Im a fake? Hmm?!
I was already bored with the useless conversation of the stupid elven couple, but at that moment, something interesting happened.
PSSS!
Ignoring thews of physics, another Elfheim jumped out of his body as if he was multiplied by two.
He had no clothes on, but it was definitely him.
That was the bug.
Calmly, it said, I praise you for your excellent judgment, Elfheim. The legend of the Hero who was erased from history, the actions of the Demon Lord who knew the future, the reincarnation of warriors from the past. The decisive sign was the third queen from the future, thanks to which you came to the only correct conclusion.
Who are you?
You should know. I am you, Elfheim, the great king admired by all elves. You suffer, knowing the efforts of those who were sacrificed to found this country where your people can live in peace and tranquility are only a mirage.
Nonsense. Im not as talkative as you are.
Really? I was definitely very talkative, trying to win the favor of the Giant King, my father. I spoke a lot and pathetically to avoid repeating my terrible mistakes in the past. Dont deny it, Elfheim. Im real. You just dont want to acknowledge me.
Guards Hmm!
Elfheim, trying to summon the guards outside the door of their bedroom, had his mouth covered by the bugs palm.
Looking into his eyes, it said, But I have a power that you dont have. The power I got from the Fantasys Wrath Oh. I apologize. I dont have enough time to talk about everything.
No Esillis
You can leave your three wives to me and rx now, Great Elf King Elfheim.
PSSSS!
The real Elfheim faded until hepletely disappeared.
Only his clothes remained.
Sir, I brought you a snack My God! Of course, I myself insisted on this, but arent you in too much of a hurry? Youve even alreadypletely undressed Of course, I dont mind at all.
I like your small breasts too, Esillis.
It cant be Your Majesty? Did you use self-hypnosis to get over the dark future that you were worried about?
I decided to forget about it.
Ah! My king! I know how to repay Your Majestys sacrificial love, but Im not sure if Ill be enough
You are enough.
Ah! Sir Elfheim~
That was where I lost interest.
Elf King Elfheim, who decided to love breasts of all sizes, ruled the Elf Empire well.
Queens
He didnt doubt them. Instead, he tried to love their t chest.
That was how it went on until now.
***
In an instant, I noticed the absurdity of the bugs behavior.
All the queens were blinded by love.
Elfheim was locked in the same space with his own daughter for eternity but never touched her.
It wasnt because he was a caring and loving father.
One could only be ethical for a short time in confinement.
Rather, it was because he didnt consider his daughter to be of the opposite sex. She didnt fit his taste, after all.
Incredible
Thanks to the contract, Shadow A shared the vision with me, though it shocked her.
Dont worry, I said, trying to console her. You can change the size of your breasts at will with your skill. Therefore, you are better than the other two queens.
Sir Hero? What shocked me was the fact that I was responsible for the bug posing as His Majesty Elfheim
Indeed.
Two millennia ago, Shadow A helped her young husband found the country from the future.
Until that time, there were no problems.
However, as young Shadow A gradually grew, herck of breast growth became suspicious.
Based on this and other signs, Elfheim concluded that they and the world around them werent real.
He did it in a slightly different way than Shakespeare, but he reached the truth.
Elf King Elfheim.
I hated to admit it, but aside from his pathetic tastes, he was an outstanding elf.
Hey, hubby?
What?
I dont know what to do next. Should we resurrect Elfheim or leave the situation in this state? Ssosiel asked anxiously.
I answered her question with a question of my own.
Did you see it too, Ssosiel? His army.
Yeah
The bug not only acted on Elfheims behalf.
Gradually, he changed national policy.
Like Elfheim, he made peace with other races through diplomacy, but within his own borders, he trained troops.
Secretly.
Elves in important positions in the country were aware of this, but the bug convinced them, saying, Since we are weak, we must prepare for war more carefully than other races.
But the real goal of his army was invasions, not protection.
That was enough for me to reach a decision. Right now, Both Elfheims presence and absence will cause problems, wont they?
Thats right.
Elfheim, who had disappeared, would have a long-term memory loss.
If he suddenly changed his behavior and began shouting, I hate small breasts! He would be mistaken for a fake.
But if we didnt resurrect him, the elves would go to war with the Giant Empire, believing they killed their king during negotiations.
That wouldnt do.
If such a grand event begins before the heroes are summoned, it would be problematic. We need to postpone it. The heroes will have to be the ones to stop the war. That way, itll serve as a great aid in my juniors growth.
How do you suggest we do that?
Youre starting off on the wrong foot, Ssosiel.
Did I say something wrong?
Look around.
Oh. I get what you mean now.
She froze time for all the dummies in the room, who were frightened by the sudden death of the Elf King.
She then put up a sign that said no entry in front of the buildings entrance.
Summon Acting Teacher.
Okay.
Answering the new directors call, Acting Teacher appeared in front of us.
She no longer showed any hostility.
On the contrary, she behaved politely.
You called for me, Director Ssosiel?
Yes. My husband wants to see you.
I see.
She stared at me, her expression showing how tense she was.
I no longer cared about past grievances. After all, at the end of our battle, I emerged as the winner, and she the loser. One word from my wife was enough to make her lose everything.
She was no longer my enemy.
On the contrary, she was now nothing but a tool for me to use.
Can you y male roles, Acting Teacher?
Yes. Sexual intercourses will be a problem, but I can y them. Who exactly do you have in mind?
Elf King Elfheim.
It will be quite difficult. Unlike those who are strong because theirbat power is simply superior to that of others, his charisma is what makes him powerful, which he even used to unite his race together. In addition, his habit of spying on womens breasts all day is a difficult task for me since Im a woman myself. I will have to constantly pretend to be interested in the chest of the same sex
Elfheim had a personality so unique that even a professional actor didnt want to y his part.
Smiling, I said, It wont be as difficult as you think, considering you wont have to y it for a long time.
Howe?
The scenario youll be enacting is about a terminally ill Elfheim, suffering from anxiety and depression, dying next year.
Ah! Thats not hard at all.
Is that enough, Ssosiel?
Yes. Leave the rest to me.
My cowardly wife was already doing some fine-tuning.
Manipting the memory of witnesses wasnt the best method, so we separated this space and rewound time.
And it all started anew.
Ssosiel, are you finished?
Yes.
Then
I turned to the pathetic Elf King, who was already looking at me.
Would you mind if I intervene in your interesting conversation?
Of course not.
Save Kh?!
I grabbed him by his cervical region between his 6th and 7th vertebrae.
Acting Teacher looked at me as if asking, What kind of development is this?!
Did she really not understand?
Loosening my grip, I said, You wont get a second chance.
Yes, Yes! I will keep that in mind!
Lets go, Ssosiel.
Having finished my business on the Southern Continent, I headed to the Eastern Continent.
Chapter 338 - [21st Round] Human Possibilities
Chapter 338 - [21st Round] Human Possibilities
This situation isnt good, hubby. If the other bugs have infiltrated the system in the same way, they will be difficult to find.
Thatll definitely be a problem.
It would be nice if the inhabitants of Fantasy could resist the bugs attacks. Unfortunately, the bugs were able to easily rece and remove the residents from the system, which was only made possible by divine power.
The fake Elfheim imed he got his power from Fantasys Wrath.
The mercenary from space, also known as the former owner of the stingray with a sexual scream, received an order from that being as well.
It couldnt just be a coincidence.
I turned to Ssosiel, asking what she thought about this.
Ive already checked the mercenarys personal file, but there are gaps in it. The face and voice of Fantasys Wrath arepletely hidden. I didnt even find any traces hinting my aunt transferred her administrator rights to someone else.
What about Lanuvel?
Shes on the Eastern Continent, exploring the Tombs of Heroes alone.
Hmm
I was suspicious of her, but she always presented herself as an archaeologist. To my surprise, she was currently doing exactly what archaeologists did.
Do you still suspect her?
Of course.
Only those who had experienced it would be able to understand me.
She deliberately stepped on traps when we were in dungeons, and if one were to suspect her of something, she immediately pretended to be cute.
It was really creepy.
Keep watching her.
Sir Hero, leave it to me, Shadow A seemed to agree with me.
Seriously?
Putting her divided soul together would be problematic, but if I were to do it seriously, I could send her to the festival in a matter of hours.
She might again find herself in the arms of the wretched Elf King, who, sitting at the window of the city hall, watched the breasts of female humans passing by.
Did she want to postpone it?
Yes, Im used to waiting. I promised that I would do my best to help you in exchange for you returning me to him. Instead of helping, however, I ended up causing a bug instead. Hence, I feel the need to make amends.
There was no point in refusing her help.
I thought it would be nice to assign someone to monitor Lanuvel around the clock anyway.
I notified my wife, who happily agreed despite being a strict dictator that wouldnt even let me touch other women.
Hey! Dont make me look like some crazy embodiment of jealousy! Moreover, you have a moral problem if you think grabbing women by the neck is okay!
Lets pick up the pace.
Tsk. I got it already!
It happened in an instant.
Shadow A was moved directly into Lanuvels shadow, ignoring thews of physics.
I was pretty certain there wouldnt be any more mercenaries now.
Once Shadow A saw signs of a summoning, we could visit Lanuvel and rify the situation.
Fshuh! Fshuh! Fshuh!
I advanced at high speed,pressing space.
The giants recreationalnds, fishing grounds, fields, salt farms
I slowed down to look at the infrastructures scaled to a size surpassingmon sense, but only for a couple of moments.
Regardless, I arrived on the Eastern Continent in no time.
There seems to be no problem here.
Since my friend Noebius didnt kill his fellow dragons, there were now more of their kind living here than in the 4th curriculum. Even one of the Five Great Disasters, the embodiment of gues, turned into a regr housewife because of that.
Nothing changed.
Hubby A former member of the Five Great Disasters turning a new leaf and living a quiet life is a pretty big change.
Shes just a lizard.
She was quite tough and difficult to kill, but she didnt pose a threat inbat.
Thats easy for you to say
It is.
I managed to defeat her, although my surprise attack failed due to the negligence of mypanions.
Where are you headed?
Guess.
I dont know. Most of the possiblepanions for the heroes live here. Are we checking everyone to see if theyre bugs
Why should we check them?
Uhh
I dont know what power the bug has, but if it cant even go beyondmon sense, then it should just abandon its objective right from the get-go. All itll be able to do is block the students path, bing a great enemy and taking the seat of one of the Five Great Disasters.
Ah So you want to use it for your own purposes?
Exactly.
Ssosiel, who understood the essence of my n, looked at me with respect.
We headed to Ind W, where trade with the Central Continent was most active.
In fact, it was toorge to be called an ind, just like how the USA wasnt considered an ind on Earth.
Using Earth terms, Eastern Continent was a huge continent consisting of four subcontinents and several archipgos.
Thus, the local culture differed from ind to ind.
Buying elves!
Selling an experienced warrior thats defeated many demons!
Behold, the best product for sailors! Womens urine to ward off the mermaids!
Urgently buying a healthy male elf!
Im sailing soon, so Im selling elven females for half the price! Dont miss your chance!
There were many ve traders in the port.
very on the Eastern Continent was legal and special, after all.
ves were only below their owners. They were equal with the rest of the people.
Hence, many found themselves with great owners. There were even some of them that lived better thanmoners.
Nothings changed here.
Really?
Ah! Theres been a marked increase in the percentage of female seafarers.
Thats good! It means that women have gained more rights.
Not exactly.
What do you mean?
You seem confused. The Earthly information youve gathered through your Monphone has influenced you too much.
Fantasy was different from Earth.
There were no beautiful mermaids on Earth who professionally abducted men.
More female rights werent passed because the number of female seafarers had increased.
Women were simply forced to take on difficult work because there werent enough men on the Eastern Continent.
I doubted they were happy to take up jobs with high mortality rates.
Moreover, at sea, the death rate of females was now much higher than that of males because of the mermaids, a race that showed no mercy todies drowning in the sea.
Males who disappeared after being in the water sometimes ended up on the shore after a month or two, but the females had a 99.99% chance of dying.
By the way, Ssosiel.
Hmm?
Why dont you know that? Your age allows Ugh!
Never speak of a womans age. Anyway, I was active only on the Northern and Central Continents. I didnt have the opportunity to go into the curriculum in detail like my husband did.
You traveled with Fugitive Senior, right?
Yes, but when that idiot noticed there were many unmarried beauties on one of the continents, I wasnt interested in why there were so many of them.
My seniors talents never cease to amaze.
I took Ssosiel and Green Cake to an inn by the pier, finding many sailors gathering there because it hired mermaids as waitresses.
Wolves among sheep.
They didnt even pretend to be human by hiding their webbed ears and blue skin.
Upon their appearance, they would immediately dere their race, stating, Gentlemen~ I am a mermaid~?
Ssosiel poked my side.
Whats the matter?
If mermaids are a problem, as my handsome husband said, why arent the people fighting them?
It isnt that simple.
Everyone now considered mermaids as weak creatures that had allied themselves with humans.
After all, their race was imperfect in the sense that they wouldnt be able to reproduce without humans.
As a result, the mermaids treated everyone around them as harmless creatures, even saving human crew members from drowning for free.
Ignorance.
I was familiar with this.
Just like them, though, my cowardly wife knew little about the life on Fantasy.
Dont nitpick my faults.
If theres something you dont know much about, then dly absorb new knowledge instead ofining.
But just by looking at the results, one could immediately tell that mermaids werent all harmless.
Among the people who had fallen overboard, only men survived. The rest died.
In addition, the men rescued by the mermaids, for certain reasons, returned to the shore only after a couple of months,pletely exhausted.
So why werent they considered dangerous?
Nobody directly med the mermaids for anything. Thanks to the painful lessons our ancestors left behind, we knew that catching one or two mermaids wouldnt solve the problem.
There was no need to anger the mermaid race.
After all, all sea routes would bepletely blocked and isted if we did so.
That would indeed cause a lot of problems.
My ignorant wife is finally using her brain.
Im not ignorant! I just didnt know the influence of mermaids on the Eastern Continent is this great. If you give me time, then I will quickly master everything!
Okay.
At that moment
Pshss!
Large amounts of water and food spilled over Ssosiels head as she sat behind the table.
The mermaid waitress immediately said:
Oh! I apologize, madam. I just couldnt take my eyes off your handsome husband I will bring you a towel and a change of clothes~ ?
It will take a little time, but if you want, we willpensate you~?
Everythings fine. Such is the karma of the woman who is lucky to have such a beautiful husband. I hope youre not overly jealous.
Tsk
The defeated waitress hastily left.
Looking at my wife, I said, This is the essence of mermaids. That being said, Im surprised youre not mad.
Hmph! Dont look down on me. I learned to control myself on Fantasiart. The women there are much worse than mermaids.
Really?
Ssosiel didnt even lift a finger to wash her face.
Instead, Master Mon took over, peering out of her chest.
Mon~
The Great Being walked from her head to toe,pletely removing moisture and stains.
He then returned to her cowardly chest.
Did you see that, hubby? This is Mons real ability. He cant teach others and turn them into deities.
Dont make meugh. Master Mon just cleaned up his hideout.
Just admit it already Hey!
Gods~?
Pshhhh!
Her clothes, which Master Mon graciously cleaned, became dirty again.
If I were in her ce, there would have already been fish heads flying, but my wife just resigned herself from what was happening.
I couldnt understand why.
Because Fantasy is the ce my mother left me. To be honest, Im a little annoyed, but I feel responsible for all of its residents.
Im having a hard time understanding that.
So, hubby, why did youe to this tavern? To pull your wife into trouble?
No.
I just thought she needed to learn about this ces local culture.
What I came here for was just about to begin.
Conjure up some money and give it to me, cowardly wife.
What do you need them for?
Ill be using them to spread rumors.
Bang!
I hit the round table with my palm and stood up.
The visitors eyes immediately turned to me.
The Righteous Hero, an expert in Fabrication and Incitement, loudly addressed the crowd:
People! Today was a good day for me! Whoever asks why
Why?
Give a ss of beer to this daredevil!
Hahaha! I thought you were a new guest in these parts, but you know our traditions!
Now I hadpletely captured their attention.
I met the ruler of the seas!
How did you meet him?
A beer for that brave man! But it doesnt matter how we met. Do you know why?
The result of the meeting is important!
Hahaha! Another beer! Lots of great beer hunters have gathered here! Its all about the treasure! The ruler of the seas told me about the location of the treasure!
What treasure?
I shouted out its name.
It is a legendary ship, also known as the cruise ship of the gods! Flying Ship Laurita!
Wow!
Woah!
Amazing!
The flying ship was stolen long ago by the guardians of the Northern Continent, but only stupid sheep gathered here, so it didnt matter.
My cowardly wife had a strange expression on her face, making her look like a mermaid who just witnessed the prowess of an outstanding man.
Why do you look as if its your first time seeing your handsome husbands face, Ssosiel?
Youre not wrong. This is the first time Im seeing you in such a good light.
Huh?
What was wrong with her?
Chapter 339 - [21st Round] You’re Fired!
Chapter 339 - [21st Round] Youre Fired!
I thought you hated the world of Fantasy because you always said you wanted to go home. For me, though, this is where my mother and I were born and raised, so I used to feel enraged by that attitude of yours.
I see.
Living standards here had slightly improved when I introduced flush toilets, but this still had a long way to go.
However, Ssosiel, who rested her head on my shoulder, interpreted it in her own way.
But now Ivee to realize that despite all the words youve thrown, you actually love this world. You instantly found amonnguage with the locals, and they immediately fell in love with you. This would be impossible if you didnt understand their life and did not empathize with them.
All Ive been doing is skillfully use those stupid savages with the help of Fabrication and Incitement.
There are reasons for everything in this world, but it doesnt matter what they are. What matters is that you fit into theirmunity and get along well with them.
Everyone can do that.
Not really. I know I cant. I can only stand by and watch.
Is that so
There was nothing more I could say in rebuttal.
The reason I could easily get along with the people of Fantasy was because of my firstpanions.
It wasnt because they helped.
To confront mypanions who disagreed with me at every opportunity, I needed people to support me.
Hence, I made sure I could get close to anyone if I wanted.
As a result, reputation maniption became as natural to me as breathing.
Im really happy my husband loves my home.
Seriously, how did youe to that conclusion?
It seemed like Rice Cake influenced her a lot.
My father is amazing!
Green Cake, who had remained silent until now, looked at me with respect.
Well its really nothing. Watch and learn. Heres what you can do in a short amount of time with just a few beers.
What? Cruise ship of the gods?!
Flying Ship Laurita!
The legendary ship has been rediscovered!
Everyone to the tavern!
The story I told quickly spread throughout the port.
The mass production of evenrger airships was organized on the Western Continent, but the Eastern Continent, a developing country, hadnt yet reached this level.
For them, it was like a star in the night sky.
You will need a skilled sailor!
And someone who will take the helm for you!
What about a mate with extensive experience?
Im a good sailor too!
Ah! Dont you need a cook?
I can heal the wounded!
A lot of people immediately started asking me to join my team.
Since they were born on the Eastern Continent, they grew up listening to their parents and other adults speak of legends.
The most popr of them was the story of the Flying Ship Laurita.
Paying no heed to stormy waves and typhoons tearing through endless waters, it could travel from the Eastern to the Western Continent in a single day.
For sailors, it served as the epitome of dreams.
Of course
How sure are you he isnt just some liar?
I dont think you should just blindly trust random passers-by.
Liar? Throw him out to the mermaids in the water.
Is it even worth it?
Some didnt believe me or hesitated.
But those whose attention I wanted to attract quickly took the bait.
The time hade for them to appear.
Look! Its her ship! The Pirate Queen has returned!
My God! The Bandit King has also appeared!
Oh! This is insane! Even the Merchant King is here too!
Unlike Merchant King, who wasnt a criminal, Pirate Queen and Bandit King couldnt freely visit this area.
But these rules, set by the authorities, could be skillfully circumvented.
If they didnt cause a disturbance, one could easily turn a blind eye to their existence. After all, battles urring in the city werent good for anybody. If, on the contrary, they engaged inmon consumerism, they would actually bring benefits to its economy.
Still, criminals were criminals.
Hey, earthworms. Get out of my way!
Water fleas! Begone from my sight!
Pirates and bandits werent on the best terms.
They had no conflicts over territories, but that was the problem.
It was a matter of honor.
Pirates ruled the sea, and bandits ruled thend. Both factions saw themselves to be the stronger faction.
An important individual ising, you criminals! If you dont disperse, Ill send everyst one of you to jail!
Why is the road blocked, chancellor?
Sorry, sir. Weve now cleared the way.
Very well.
A long procession deliberately wedged itself between the pirates and the bandits, pushing them aside.
Merchant King made his entrance.
His pale skin and blond hair suggested he was a thoroughbred nobleman, but he was a real hard worker who rose from the bottom at a young age.
Wild boar, well settle our differences next time, growled the female wearing a ck cocked hat with a white skull depicted on it.
Under her admirals uniform, which gave her a noble appearance, she wore only a swimsuit so tight it fettered her prominent parts.
She was sometimes mistaken for a mermaid because of her blue hair, but looking at her pointed ears, one could immediately tell that she was an elf with mixed blood.
I was certain she wasnt a pureblood.
Elves could only dream of such huge breasts.
Pirate Queen had ruled all pirates for a long time now, and she also served as the main rival of mermaids.
A swarthy man with a bare upper body answered her, Bwahahaha! Thats my line, seal!
Bandit King was also an elf with mixed blood, but I wasnt certain about his other race.
Merchant King, Pirate Queen, Bandit King.
The strongest representatives of the Eastern Continent entered the tavern one by one.
To meet me.
They all wanted to get their hands on the legendary treasure known as the Flying Ship Laurita.
Merchant King, reaching me ahead of the two, greeted me first.
Its not unprecedented at all that people call you a liar. I am called the Merchant King. For more information
No need.
Then lets get straight to the point. Disregarding the possibility that this is a bluff, then you know the location of Flying Ship Laurita. Where did you get that information?
I saw it with my own eyes.
Is that so?
Merchant King raised his right hand slightly.
Click! Click! Click!
The people apanying him pulled out weapons.
But the bandits and pirates werent stupid.
How could you start without me, Merchant King?
Bloody seal! Dont get ahead of me! If you want to continue trading onnd, Merchant King, you bettery down your arms.
Bang, Bang, Bang
Pirate Queen and Bandit King quickly disarmed Merchant Kings escort.
The difference in their skills was so great that they didnt even have to kill anyone.
Although, if a firefight had begun, Merchant King would have pulled out his weapon too.
Although they all carried royal titles, they acted like gangsters.
Pirate Queen raised a question.
Does the lord of the seas who told you about the ships location have the same blue hair like mine?
He was born in the Magic Kingdom of the Northern Continent and is also a disciple of Sage. He still loves his daughter, to whom he gave his precious ring.
Escort me to him. Or sell me a map of his location. Even though I am a pirate, I swear, on my precious ring, that I will pay for it fairly.
Pirate Queen wasnt like this in the beginning.
After several years of wandering in search of her father, who disappeared at sea, she was caught by pirates and became their queen only after she rose from the bottom, having gone through the most severe trials.
That was also the case in my first round.
Her target wasnt the vessel itself, as rumored to be, but the whereabouts of her father that went on an adventure in search of it.
Bandit King intervened in our conversation.
They say the flying ship is filled with the angels treasures. Is this true?
No.
Whats in it?
It was empty.
The Flying Ship Laurita was seized and repaired by the guardians of the Northern Continent, but before that, it was used by the First Hero.
Fugitive Senior, who spent money on family entertainment, couldnt leave expensive treasures in it.
Eventually, after handling it poorly, Laurita crashed.
Haha! Really! My grandfather had been in that crashed flying ship! I nned on killing you if you lied to me, but Im now ready to negotiate. I am that treasures true owner! Tell me where it is, and I swear on my grandfathers name that Ill definitely repay you!
That wasplete nonsense.
If he were to get it, he would immediately plunder onnd, water, and sky.
Of course, he wouldnt be able to do it for a long time.
An airship was amazing from humanitys perspective, but it was just a simple paper airne against the might of dragons.
Ssosiel poked my side.
Whats the matter?
What are you going to do with them? If you dont tell them where the ship is, theyll start a fight with you.
That was a very good question.
I patted Green Cakes hair with my right hand.
This is my son Green Cake. Tsk tsk! Oh, these people! There doesnt seem to be any reaction. Oh?! A mug of beer for the daredevil apuding my son! No, two mugs!
The people who became nervous because of these powerful leaders presence, who served as the Eastern Continents representatives, instantly cheered up.
p! p! p!
Uh Father? He sounded embarrassed.
It was really frustrating.
He should already know how to assess the situation and react ordingly by now.
Was it because he didnt really have my blood flowing in his veins? Unfortunately, my adopted child didnt know how to use Fabrication and Incitement.
Well, it shouldnt be a problem.
The Lord of the Seas and the Flying Ship Laurita are in the endless waters separating the Eastern and Western continents. It is a ce so dangerous only a few managed to return alive from its waves.
Endless waters.
It was more than twice the total area of all the Earths oceans in size, and its depth was five times their average.
In the middle of it was a whirlpool so huge not even the most outstanding ships could pass through it.
I patted Green Cake on his shoulder. My son will escort you to the ind where the legend rests. Haha! Dont underestimate him. Although my child looks young and innocent, he is very intelligent. All you have to do is follow him. Pretty simple, right?
Father, I Kh!
I stepped on Green Cakes foot before he could say he didnt know the inds location, and he immediately shut his mouth.
I was worried about his future.
He should take this opportunity to have a good social experience.
Merchant King looked at me intently.
Why didnt you take it for yourself?
I couldnt move it since I dont have the right to control it.
I see Ill have to reset its steering rights somehow Ahem-hmm! I apologize for such a stupid question.
Pirate Queen asked afterward, Who will you give it to?
You can figure that out among yourselves since I dont care who it belongs to. Whoever emerges the strongest will gain full ownership of it.
Youre a demon.
Pirate Queen was pretty shrewd.
But I wasnt just an ordinary demon. I was the Demon Lord.
It didnt take long for Bandit King to express his displeasure.
And were supposed to follow him?
Haha! I dont even have time to take care of my wifes pelvis. Hence, I thought, why not send my son?\''
He doesnt look like you at all Kh?!
Bang!
Bandit King fell to the ground, crying out like a wounded boar.
I wasnt the one who did it.
It was Green Cake.
Appearance is not everything! If you piss me off one more time, I will punish you again!
My son.
The way he ended his words wasnt the best, but I was happy.
If he could conduct business even with such people, then he would definitely be a great dragon.
My wife poked me my side again.
What is it this time?
What are you trying to achieve by sending your son to that ce?
Green Cake followed me across all the continents.
All that remained was to add to his resume that he was a great explorer of legends.
Afterward
Im going to fire Lanuvel.
Chapter 340 - [21st Round] 5th Curriculum v2.0
Chapter 340 - [21st Round] 5th Curriculum v2.0
Lanuvel served as the heroes guide in Fantasy, but she deliberately lured them into traps.
I could work as much as needed on the 5th curriculums effectiveness before the inspection teams arrival, but this entire mechanism would fail if its first gear were defective.
Are you saying youre going to transfer Lanuvels role to Green Cake?
Exactly.
You want him to be a guide for those who want to kill his father?
That doesnt matter. Whats important is the result.
Isnt this a too cruel of a role for him, hubby?
Everything will be alright.
I had no intention of losing anyway.
Kids who spent just a few years on their adventure and on raising their levels couldnt defeat a Demon Lord with 200 years worth of experience. That was justmon sense.
If I lost to such heroes, it would mean that I had be as careless and ipetent as my father-inw.
If Green Cake properly cultivated them, it would be possible to increase their average statisticalpetence, which should positively affect the school as a whole.
Oh I didnt even think about that. Will there ever even be a student who would be able to beat you?
If a strong student emerges, itll be fun.
Breaking their spine, that was!
Having agreed on their deployment date, I bid the famous trio farewell and discussed the details with Ssosiel.
I hadnt prepared anything yet, after all.
At this rate, their adventure would lead to nowhere since nothing awaited them in the endless waters but a gigantic maelstrom.
What do you want to do, hubby?
Attach the system to Green Cake. Let him create inds one by one along his path. That way, hell undergo a lot of journeys and adventures.
Ah
I dont know what direction my son will take. Let the system track his path in real-time.
Thats genius.
Its nothing.
a??Confirmation: I understand what student Kang Han Soo wants. It will be done.
This ignorant system still called me a student.
Was that how she should address the directors husband?
Shes just stating factual information. This child is just following basic principles. Your wife has be Fantasys director, but that doesnt mean youre no longer a student.
Really? Then promote me to the vice-principal position.
No.
Hehehe! The student role is perfect for you, Savage Hero. It would be better if you make me, the noblest spirit to ever exist, your vice-principal, niece!
No.
She also rejected the Addicted Spirit, who suddenly intervened.
Youre despicable, wife!
Youre despicable, my niece!
I cant do that! Neither of you has gone under proper education and training! Do you want the school to be closed for corruption? If you want to be the vice-principal,plete your tertiary education course first!
I remembered hearing this before from Trainee Teacher.
To be a teacher, one needed toplete the tertiary education course.
At the time, I thought it didnt really matter. Little did I know, it would hinder my sess.
But that was okay.
My wife was the director of this school.
And I would be a gigolo.
Hey, handsome husband? How about thinking about a job that matches your talents?
Im going to be the owner of a coffee shop.
I would drink coffee without paying and give herniated discs to anyone whod dare stare at my wifes pelvis.
Is that something I should be happy about?
Of course.
The most handsome and outstanding man in the world of Fantasy was guarding her pelvis.
She should be delighted.
Fine, fine. Its really hard being your first wife. In terms ofplexity, itsparable to monometric functions.
I looked at Green Cake to make sure he knew what to do, but he looked like a lostmb.
Dont worry. You just need to sail through the endless waters for about three months and then return to Flying Ship Orgata.
But thats your ship, father
Consider it your reward.
Ill work hard for it!
Now he seemed motivated.
Although hecked social experience, he would be fine since he wasnt weak. He couldnt be easily defeated.
Good luck.
Thank you, father!
I couldnt wait to see Lanuvels reaction after being fired and having Green Cake take over her position.
She would no longer receive a prophecy that stated, Summon the Hero who will defeat the Demon Lord!
She will be an ordinary Lanuvel.
Anything else we need to do here, hubby?
Nothing special.
We visited the Dwarf Kingdom on Ind E and conveyed a simr message.
When the heroes arrived, they were to be lent something of value.
We then headed to the Central Continent.
***
Three months had passed since then.
Throughout that duration, I spent every day traveling the continents of Fantasy, looking for bugs and spreading the greatness of Master Mon in areas where there were no flush toilets.
Lanuvel was still inactive.
Instead of summoning mercenaries from outer space, she delved into the Tomb of Heroes.
This is weird.
The suspicious entity called Fantasys Wrath also seemed to have remained dormant.
Even after catching the 10th bug, no more notable incidents happened.
As a result, I had little work to do, and the time I spent messaging with my mother increased significantly.
?Me: Please move here. (15:04)
?Mom: Didnt I tell you not to bring this up again, son? I like it here. I recently met an old tennis rival of mine. I cant leave now. It would be like I ran away. (15:05)
?Me: Is tennis more important than your son? (15:06)
?Mom: You really want me to make thatparison? (15:07)
?Mom: Then tennis is 100 times more important than a son who hasnt shown himself before his parents in over 20 years. If not for tennis, I would havemitted suicide from depression. (15:08)
?Me: Sorry. Theres nothing I can say about that. (15:09)
My n to relocate my parents to the Festival had failed.
I decided to try my luck with my father, but I was making slow progress since he wasnt a fan of instant messengers.
?Me: Father, please convince mother. I know I havent been the best sontely, but if you just move here, I guarantee you afortable, trouble-free retirement. (15:10)
?Dad: Im going to work. (6:22)
?Me: If you move here, you wont even have to go to work. (6:22)
?Me: Please read and answerter when you have time. (6:24)
But he didnt answer.
?Me: When youre done with your work, write to me. If you are ufortable writing text messages, just call. (20:43)
?Dad: Overtime. (20:43)
?Me: Got it, but please dont forget to write or call me after your works done. (20:43)
?Me: Father, are you still at work? (23:01)
?Dad: Im having supper. (23:58)
I was going crazy.
?Me: I know its your day off today. Do you have time to talk to your son? (9:23)
?Dad: Sleeping. (11:53)
?Me: Sorry. Contact me when you wake up. Please dont forget about it this time! (11:53 am)
?Me: Father, are you still sleeping? Are you sick? (15:43)
?Dad: In training. (15:43)
Oh! I forgot.
My mother was the chairman of a local tennis club, and my father was her partner and deputy.
Apparently, after waking up, she dragged him to the club.
Thenter
?Dad: We discussed everything. (19:10)
?Dad: I totally agree with your mother. (19:13)
It took me ten minutes to recollect my bearing.
?Me: May I know why? (19:23)
?Dad: Forcing family members to move because of you alone isnt good. (19:57).
?Dad: Be a good older brother to your younger brother and take into ount his opinion. (20:01)
My mom said they didnt want to move because of her old rival in tennis, but it seemed to be that their second child had influenced them.
Now I understood.
He realized how grave the crime of stealing my parents love from me was, rendering him afraid of me.
Um, hubby?
What?
Arent you exaggerating too much? Think about it. Maybe they just refuse to move because they dont want to part with their friends.
The benefits theyll gain outweigh that problem. Dont they want to live in wealth without worries?
Youre probably unaware, but thanks to your mothers second daughter-inw, they are already enjoying afortable life.
Huh?
Alexandra Victoria III, the uncrowned queen, is the owner of a conglomerate over which the sun never sets.
Alexandra Victoria? Thats the name of the Queen of Ennd.
I had nothing to do with the royal family on the other side of the globe.
I think she realized that you love only your first wife, so she decided to target your little brother.
My little brother?
My intuition keeps telling me that.
Hmm
That was of little interest to me.
The problem was that my n to relocate my parents failed because of him.
Wed better think of another n. By the way, Green Cake has returned safely from his journey.
And Lanuvel?
She roams the Holy Empire of the Central Continent like an ordinary traveler.
Did she notice Shadow A was watching her? Or was she still nning something?
It didnt matter.
Whether she liked it or not, from today on, it was the great explorer Green Cake who would be the heroes guide.
Pip Pip Pip.
Monphone 2S+ disyed Flying Ship Orgats location using a Fantasy map app.
Three monthster, Merchant King, Pirate Queen, and Bandit King, having be ardent adherents of the Mon Teachings,nded on the Eastern Continent, and my son headed straight for us.
He arrived almost instantly, too.
He appeared over my head while I was talking to my wife.
Father! I have returned safely! We visited Chubby Babys Foot Ind, Chubby Babys Calf Ind, Chubby Babys Thigh Ind, Chubby Babys Belly Ind, Chubby Babys Chin Ind, Chubby Babys Lip Ind, etc. After that, we ended the adventure by defeating a guardian, who was terrified of the greatness of my fathers alter ego, Captain Fantasy, and retrieved the Flying Ship Orgat.
Great work.
It was said that the inds were named after their outline, but it sounded too confusing.
Legendary Ind A, Legendary Ind B, Legendary Ind C, Legendary Ind D, Legendary Ind E
These names were much better.
Only you, hubby, like names like that.
Thats prejudice. In any case
If I were to appoint Green Cake as a guide with his current stats, the heroes would look like dummies in his presence. Hence, I needed to hide his stats. It would be questioned why he didnt just y the Demon Lord himself otherwise.
Hiding stats using the system vites school rules, hubby.
Who asked you to use the system? Green Cake.
He didnt have my blood flowing in him, but he was born outstanding already since he received many nutrients before hatching.
Gifted skill.
? ZZZ: The ability to pretend to be ordinary.
After activating its ZZZ-rank effect, Green Cakes stats immediately became normal.
Even the heroes wouldnt notice it.
We were finally prepared to fire Lanuvel!
Onwards.
We headed to the Dumpling Kingdom of the Central Continent!
We needed to summon social outcasts before Lanuvel could do it herself.
However, at that very moment
Hubby! We have a problem!
Which? Did Lanouvel fall into a trap and die?
No. Lanuvel has summoned a hero without a catalyst! You were right! Shes guilty!
Lets go to her immediately!
Its already toote! You must return to the Demon Lords Tower and take the throne now! Ill deal with the rest somehow!
sh!
The Fantasy dimension copsed and reorganized.
And all the students received this message:
? Truth: Wee, Hero! I know youre confused since youve been summoned here without warning, so let me brief you at least. Youre in Fantasy, a dimension different from where you were born. I know its difficult to grasp everything at once, but I will begin to exin everything gradually, step by step.
Get lost. Nobody needs that.
The heroes had monphones.
? Truth: The Demon Lord Parmamon has awakened! Find faithfulpanions and fight him back Um, Hero? Are you listening?
The Demon Lord had organized everything so perfectly that Lanuvel was now powerless.
Chapter 341 - [21st Round] Mollanphone 2
Chapter 341 - [21st Round] Monphone 2
Ah What a ce!
Fantasy! Im finally here!
Maybe Ill meet a real prince!
I want to marry an elf
The hopeful new heroes got all their information through their monphones.
Thanks to my cowardly wifes quick intervention, they were summoned with a monphone 2.
[Wee, new Heroes.]
[Is this your first time in the world of Fantasy?]
[What is a Monphone?]
It was equipped with a touch screen, camera, and anti-theft features.
It was also shockproof, waterproof, and highly resistant to all attributes, removing the need to worry about magical interference.
Of course, monphones main feature wasnt their durability, but in another aspect.
[What is Fantasy?]
[How to go home?]
[How to make friends.]
[What are Mons Teachings?]
[Encyclopedia of Fantasy Monsters.]
[Latest news.]
[How to view stats correctly.]
[Who is Master Mon?]
[Each countrys politics and interests.]
[A collection of Fantasys myths and legends.]
[Mons Revtions.]
[Demon Lord Parmamons Biography.]
Through it, they gained ess to a collection of information that would be useful for their adventures.
Naturally, it offered information that wasnt too advanced or too detailed. Rather, it only offered ones that could be obtained with a little effort.
It also had another interesting feature: integratedmunication.
?Sieg: First ^^
?Lemon: Whats your Karma rank?
?Luke: I suggest an exchange of strategic information. Send me a pm if interested. Only business, no jokes.
?Reina: Are there any secondary students here? Ive only seen primary students here so far.
?Aaron: This is the first time Ive seen something like this in my 1900 year career in Fantasy.
?Pico: Long live Mons Teachings! Believe, and you will find your soulmate at once!
?Lulu: Let me add you as a friend!
?Link: Im only interested in one thing. Where is Zelda?
Their names were automatically registered based on their files to prevent absurd names like Grand King Sieg. Long sentences and continuous conversations were forbidden to prevent the chat window from overflowing.
However, there were so many heroes that the messages were being buried so quickly an average person wouldnt have time to read anything!
However, if one were to open a separate chat room with like-minded friends, theyd be able to get rid of this confusion.
Everything works as it should.
With admin rights, I checked the current situation through my Monphone 2S+.
Who would have thought?
The Demon Lord had been showering the heroes with useful items since the beginning.
My father-inw used to throw his subordinates and children as fodder to support them, but I didnt use such barbaric methods.
Information was power!
Any cultured citizen of Earth knew that.
First of all, you have to find apanion and a source of ie.
I dont see lovely Lanuvel anywhere
Did you start in the Holy Empire, too?
Whether it was their first time here or not, the heroes quickly adapted to the world of Fantasy based on the information they received through their monphones.
Starting their adventure in the Holy Empire rather than the Dumpling Kingdom, they immediately shared new information with each other.
?Sieg: Does anyone know where Elf Princess Sylvia is?
?Aaron: Shes at the Elf Empire on the Southern Continent. By the way, there is a rumor that the third Elf King is terminally ill.
?Jenny: Wow! Thank you so much! So Prince Nasus should be on the Southern Continent, too!
?Pico: The Holy Empire considers Mons Teachings as heresy. They call it a pseudo-religion! Be careful.
?James: Worshipping the Giant Empires Great Child is better. The giantsvish you with generous gifts afterward.
They acted effectively without wandering or stomping around.
If any of them needed information, they asked other heroes, and if they didnt know either, they asked the locals for help.
Of course, the locals didnt help them for free just because they were heroes. However, they at least asked for a reasonable price, such as running an errand.
But this, too, could be avoidedter on.
Because far advanced heroes had started posting guides.
[Guide: Beware of the Imperial Princess]
[Author: Luke]
[If you stay in the Imperial Fortress, the princess will ask you to find a stolen relic of her dead mother. I warn you. I dont know what will happen if you refuse. If anyone does, please let me know. Anyway. If you start wandering around collecting information about the relic, a bunch of side quests will fall on you. Ignore them! The relic is hidden in the mouth of the lion statue in the imperial garden. No one stole it! The princess hid it herself and lied.]
As soon as this guide was published, the heroes immediately abandoned their side quests and returned the relic to the imperial princess.
Having spoiled the princesss n to use them for her own purposes, they broke free of her sneaky grip, enabling them to set off on their adventure more quickly.
Of course, there were downsides.
I thought I was special!
How many heroes are there anyway?
Shouldnt I be the main hero?
This is no fun. There are a lot of people here better than me.
I am special, only I can go back in time, only I can regress, only I have made such progress, only I
The characters who basked in their uniqueness were crushed by the reality they faced.
But I didnt care. No matter how much pampering they got, they would one day graduate from the Fantasy Institution and enter a society where no one would coddle them.
Hence, they needed to learn humility and humbleness.
If one were captivated by the arrogance that they were special, they would be in for a big disappointment.
[Guide: Fast Way to Be Powerful]
[Author: Hero A]
[I have decided to reveal the most useful information to help my juniors be incredibly strong. Master Mon lives in a run-down vige in the northwest of the Holy Empire. Ask him to train you and pray for sess. His greatness can be clearly seen in Revtion 4:6. The first disciple touched his resilient body and received enlightenment. He began to act arrogantly as if the whole world was now in his hands, but Master Mon quickly cooled his ardor. His disciple, surprised by this, realized his immaturity and repented. Dont rely on skills alone, but open your eyes to true power.]
What are you doing, husband?
Are you blind, Ssosiel? I am generously sharing the secret of sess with my juniors.
Thats not what I meant. Isnt it silly to let them know of such things? Through your guide, they might be a threat to your life one day and even try to steal your beautiful first wife.
Good point.
My cowardly wife thought it was dangerous.
But I begged to differ.
I was more than 200 years ahead of my younger self. I thought that advantage was more than enough.
Monopolizing knowledge had many strengths, but it would make mezy.
And that wasnt just an assumption.
I spent more time on pelvises now than I did in the 1st round. This was proof that I had bezy!
Youre notzy. Im just very pretty and tempting.
I have to agree! My niece is very pretty!
Did you hear that? My aunt always tells the truth.
But also very jealous!
My cowardly wife said she didnt like my signature Hero A, so she changed it to Munchkin.
Wasnt that a little too childish?
Ssosiel objected, Much better than Hero A.
Why? No one knows who I am.
You like to give very strange names and titles. Someone will sooner orter recognize your style.
I doubt it
?Pico: Are you Kang Han Soo?
I immediately swallowed my words when I saw thement that popped up after I published my guide.
Who was Pico? How did he manage to recognize me so fast?
You said you went to high school together on your home.
Ah! Virgin A.
Hes not a virgin anymore. ording to his file, he married the Imperial Princess of the Holy Empire and had twelve children with her.
Wow!
And thats not all. Although he did it in the primary education course, Hero Pico helped the princess unite the four continents of Fantasy. The Western Continent was the only one he failed to conquer, due to which he was forced to regress.
Not bad.
Once married, he became apletely different person.
Ssosiel continued. ording to the teachers, Hero Pico will be one of the first primary students to challenge you. A detailed analysis of his actions indicates that.
Does it?
In just two days, Picos sword once again captured the heart of his ex-wife.
The power-hungry princess was full of thoughts of using him, but she was still not the kind of woman who would let her political tool touch her pelvis.
No. That was also a part of politics.
Princesses incapable of bearing children would quickly be forced to surrender their dream of sitting on the throne, after all.
In general, the adventures of the heroes were divided into two paths depending on their gender due to the information they exchanged through the monphones.
Ssosiel confirmed my thoughts.
Youre right. Males usually boarded a ship in the port of the Holy Empire and sailed directly to the Northern Continent to get the Ice Princess and the Sword Princess aspanions. On the other hand, the females traveled to the Holy Kingdom to get the Saintess and Holy Knight Commander Tomato as theirpanions before sailing to the Southern Continent for Prince Nasus.
Their adventures were now based on maximum safety and efficiency.
I didnt expect the itinerary to differ by gender, but I expected it to flow about the same from the beginning.
That was why the Green Cakes role as their guide was important.
Greetings, Hero. Our meeting has been destined. May I share with you an interesting story? Theres a nice restaurant nearby with flush toilets.
He didnt immediately join the hero as apanion and asked them to defeat the Demon Lord as Lanuvel did.
After observing them and analyzing their personality and behavior from a distance for about five days, he approached them, using all the data he had gathered in dialogue.
It was a business approach, which was fundamentally different from Lanuvels method of solving everything by just pretending to be nice.
?Lemon: Have you met the great explorer Green Cake too?
?Luke: As of this day, Ill stop sharing information. He has a lot of information.
?Reina: A perfect boy! He fits my type so much hes making my mouth water.
? Lulu: I dont ept friendship requests anymore. Green Cake is enough for me. I love him!
?Link: Doesnt this girl look too much like Zelda?
?Aaron: I found the perfectpanion after my 1900-year-old career here in Fantasy. Green Cake. She is the truest meaning of perfection.
?Sieg: I will not betray Sylvia, but isnt she a cheat? She has all the right attributes.
Dragons, having no gender, were free to change their appearance.
The only parts of him he couldnt change were his green hair and eyes.
He could easily adjust to any situation based on the data gathered over five days.
And that wasnt all.
Thanks to his connections, he gained special treatment from the rulers of all continents and could hold conversations of a higher level than the other Fantasypanions.
Fencing, spirit control, archery, magic, healing, research, cooking,undry, camping, exploration, diplomacy, trade
It was hard to find what he couldnt do.
He waspletely different from Lanuvel.
?Truth: Hero. You cant call it an adventure if you use such an all-powerful tool. Dont you want to go on a journey into an uncharted, exciting world?
Lanuvel was still struggling.
Day by day, her reputation fell as she said, Please throw away your monphone.
On the first day, she was still called a goddess, but she was called a witch who hindered the heroes as of yesterday.
?Robin: How do you shut the pesky witch up?
?Lucia: As angry as you are, please refrain from swearing. She pisses me off too, but I try to control myself because stress is bad for my skin^^
?Smith: She really pisses me off. Shes making it hard for me to concentrate.
?Kevin: Oh! I totally agree with you!
?Arin: Green Cake is much better than Lanuvel.
?Pico: People! Witches are ancient gods of pagan beliefs! Mons Teachings are the real truth!
But no matter how hard Lanuvel tried, her efforts ended in failure.
The heroes, possessed by the enchantment of the Monphone, fell prey to the Righteous Demon Lords Fabrication and Incitement.
And that will not change until their release.
?Truth: Those who do not take risks do not deserve to be called heroes! Perish along with this world!
Lanuvel finally lost her temper.
She rejected the heroes and cursed the world.
Like some viin.
Handsome husband.
Mon~
Ssosiel, sitting on myp, turned to me.
Is it something about Lanuvel?
Yes. Lanuvel bypassed the system firewall and escaped.
Where to?
My cowardly wife pointed toward the night sky.
To my aunt and all the angels home: the Festival.
Chapter 342 - [22nd Round] Event for Students!
Chapter 342 - [22nd Round] Event for Students!
The Festival of Heroes was a grand event held every four years to awaken heroism.
I took part in it twice and won first ce both times.
Shouldnt that be enough for me to be considered the True Hero?
We need to find out what purpose Lanuvel has over there as fast as possible.
We have another problem.
What is it?
You have no right to appear there.
Why?
Have you forgotten? Youre the Demon Lord. You cant just freely walk between dimensions. You can only use a puppet, like what my father did.
Change the rules.
My wife was the director of this world. She held absolute power. However, she apparently couldnt even amend such trivial rules.
It wasnt even funny.
Are you hiding something from your MAX-ss husband, my cowardly wife? Do you want me to punish you with my finger?
What? Aahn!
Speak quickly.
It would be better for you to be patient until the Monsoft inspection team finishes their business here! After that, you can turn someone else into the Demon Lord, only supplying them with Dark Energy! For now, however, you should stay in Fantasy!
Hmm
If you understand, remove your finger. Unlike you, Im busy. There are tons of problems I have to deal with.
Hmm! You say youre busy, but you dont even work overtime.
I have to fulfill my responsibilities as the director, but as your good wife, my duty of giving my time to you in the evening, my handsome husband, is just as important.
I am such a popr guy.
This was clearly all about Ssosiels sneaky jealousy, which fueled her desire to monopolize her husband!
Why are you making me look bad?
Because I am your handsome husband.
What does that have to do with it? In case youve forgotten, I am the second most beautiful being in existence!
Ha! And Im the first. There is a big difference between 1st and 2nd ce. Just looking at your MAX-ss husbands achievements will be enough for you to realize that.
Ugh The Righteous Heros perfect logic pierced through the Fallen Angel.
I withdrew my finger.
So, how do I get to the Festival and deal with Lanuvels spine? Itd be better for us not to waste our time. Shes obviously up to something.
You need to turn yourself into a part of this event. You can do so by implementing the global task to find and defeat Demon Lord Parmamon. Ill take care of the details.
Just be quick about it.
My juniors, who were still adapting to the 5th curriculum, would take several years to get to the Tower of the Demon Lord.
There was nothing I could do here.
Are youing with me?
No. I thought Im already inplete control of the system, but Im starting to have doubts since Lanuvel managed to escape. I cant leave Fantasy until Ive figured out what the problem is.
Thats unfortunate.
I at least carried a heating pad in my spatial pocket in the past, but now it was empty.
All I could do now was look for options on-site.
Ssosiel chuckled.
I assumed youd think about that, so I assigned an observer to you that will help you control yourself.
It cant be. A man?
Its a girl.
Really?
That wasnt like the Ssosiel I knew.
I couldnt believe that my cowardly wife, the personification of jealousy, would use another woman to monitor me.
Oh! I knew it!
Shes married, huh?
If so, then it made sense.
No.
Then is she as ugly as Parmael?
No. Shes a really pretty single woman.
This had to be some kind of fantasy.
Who is it?
Hanjo.
Who?
The Lord of Betrayal, whom my husband appointed as the boss of the 40th floor of the Demon Lords Tower! You even forgot about her Dont you feel sorry for the female angel whos forced to wear such a nickname?
Ssosiel.
What?
Whats her real name, then?
I-I dont know, and it doesnt matter! She works for you! In any case, Hanjo will be the middle boss in the global quest, y the Demon Lord.\''
Okay.
I didnt see anything wrong with that.
It was better to have a stupid woman as my assistant than some savage.
But this was amazing.
Why did she put the female angel on me and not the married elves or the android?
Was she testing me?
No. I didnt want to separate the couple, so I ruled them out.
And Boris?
I hadnt heard from him in a long time.
He also has a better half.
You turned him into a handsome android so he wont feel lonely?
No. Remember General Chromatigus?
Who?
You called her Red.
Ah! The red dragonian!
She shouldve said that right away.
As far as I remembered, they came here to meet Boris.
When my husband destroyed Fantasy, she died and had her soul tied to the Fantasy Institution.
And?
I set her up with Prince Boris to get her to cooperate.
I see.
Hence, I decided to appoint Hanjo. Although she is an angel from Fugitive Heros army, I think she probably wants to visit her peoples home.
Okay. Make it quick.
Be patient. Dont you know how difficult it is to holdrge-scale events like this? The trainee teachers assigned to tasks like this usually take six months.
How much longer will I have to wait?
It will officially start exactly one year after the arrival of the inspection team. Chasing the students around will hasten the preparation time, but we cant do that because of the iing inspection.
Tsk.
I thought summoning the graduates and telling them to defeat the Demon Lord would be enough, but it looked like there was still a lot to be done.
Of course. Hunting down the Demon Lord will be this programs main event, but we need to develop side activities as well. Otherwise, the festival will be too dull
Lets make a survival game.
Hmm?
That would definitely spice up the experience and keep everyones boredom at bay.
Well thats not a bad suggestion. It would open up many possibilities. It also wont take long to prepare it.
The longer the Hero lives, the better the reward theyll receive. As for the trainee teachers preparing this event, promise a reward for the one thatll be able to eliminate the most heroes.
Ah
How long will it take?
In that case, it will only take a month or two to get everything ready. This is excellent.
Ssosiel looked at her MAX-ss husband with respect.
Anyone coulde up with such an idea, but she was surprised nheless.
Anything else?
I wont be able to see you for a while, so stay for just one more day
You said youre busy.
Dont mince my words. A womans heart and mood are fickle.
Are you reading some nonsense from Earth again?
Nevertheless, I was her MAX-ss husband.
I decided to grant my cowardly wifes desperate wish.
After a day
Just dont destroy the. The trainee teachers have started working since yesterday.
Good.
When you arrive, one of them will be waiting for you there. Shell be taking care of you. I probably shouldve appointed a man, but she volunteered herself. Besides, an angel will be watching over you anyway.
Hmm
If you betray my trust and do something strange, then Ill assign only males to you next time.
Your jealousy is nasty and vile.
Goodbye! Ill visit youter!
sh!
My consciousness moved from the world of Fantasy to a special Festival puppet that served as my vessel.
***
So this is Festival, the homnd of my people! I feel divinity even just by breathing in the air!
The first thing I saw was a female angel who acted like a child visiting an amusement park for the first time.
Hanjo, Lord of Betrayal.
And also
Its been a long time, Kang Han Soo. Ive heard a lot about your achievements.
You are
Ellis. A trainee who dreams of bing a teacher. Im in charge of the mens dormitory for primary education students. However, since I have no work to do right now, I volunteered to help Kang Han Soo.
Ill be in your care.
Ellis, the caretaker of the S-rank apartments. It had been a long time since Ist saw her, but I remembered her.
Back then, I was already mistaken for the Demon Lord
Im honored that you remember me. From now on, I will refer to you as the Demon Lord, not an alumnus. I never thought the day woulde when I would serve the Demon Lord, not the Hero.
I am also a hero!
The S-rank apartment hasnt been used by anyone in over 100 years since the Demon Lord used it.
My juniors disappoint me.
Well the minimum requirement to use the S-rank apartment is to score more than half of their predecessors points. However, your track record is so vast that its difficult to reach even half of it.
They are pathetic!
To address this issue in the most natural way possible, there will be many generous awards at this festival. If they were to touch the Demon Lords body, they would receive 200 points. Whoever can put a scratch on it would likely be in 1st ce That is if anyones even capable of such a feat.
What about Lanuvel?
Her whereabouts are currently unknown. We have been instructed to prepare for the festival until the rules have been worked out. The awards are sopelling that everyone immediately got down to work.
What are the awards?
Let me show you.
? Announcement: Dear faculty members, nice to meet you. I am Ssosiel, director of the Fantasy Institution. The theme of this festival is survival. In rtion to that, the heroes must move forward despite the obstacles thrown at them, sparing no effort to ovee evil. This shall also serve as the perfect asion to test the abilities of all trainee teachers. Create an extreme environment and filter out as many graduates as possible. Unprecedented rewards await those who can prove themselves the best!
1st ce: Internship duration reduced by 500 years.
2nd ce: Internship duration reduced by 300 years.
3rd ce: Internship duration reduced by 200 years.
4th ce: Internship duration reduced by 100 years.
Thats huge.
For all participants who have eliminated one or more graduates, the internship period is reduced by one year. If we eliminate more than five, then itll be reduced by ten years! In particr,nding on 1st and 2nd ce almost guarantees a teaching position!
Got it, just control yourself and keep your cool.
Elliss worried face was enough for me to understand how grand of an event this was.
It seemed this event wasnt for the alumni but interns.
Fshuh!
While were here, Sir Hero, let me go to my beloved Elfheim.
Go ahead.
Shadow A, who until now hadnt helped me in any way, suddenly jumped out and asked for a request.
Well if youre in doubt of my actions, Ill offer my daughter Illeana to you
Get out of here already.
Thanks!
When she saw the copy of young Elfheim in the Fantasy dimension, she was delighted, but the way she behaved now was iparable to that.
Shadow A burst into tears, said goodbye politely, and then jumped off the fifth floor of the mens dorm.
I didnt know how the pathetic Elf King, who sat by the window on the city halls second floor every day, blissfully examining the breasts of women, would react to this.
But that was none of my business.
Demon Lord Kang Han Soo Thats not quite true.
What?
For about 100 years, Elf King Elfheim has been conquering the world with his twin granddaughters.
Ha?
What nonsense was that?
Chapter 343 - [22nd Round] Shocking News
Chapter 343 - [22nd Round] Shocking News
The United Federation is a powerful nation that brought many small states located throughout Festival under one banner. Elfheim handed its power to his two beloved granddaughters, and he now acts as their adviser and arbitrator, which is a rather unusual management system.
Is that possible?
They are expanding their territories without any difficulties since 96% of their states poweres from their two rulers. The United Federation army certainly isnt weak, but Elfheims granddaughters are just that incredibly strong.
Something is wrong here. With elven genes, this is simply not possible.
Due to their racial characteristics, all elves had excellent skills, but at the same time, they were deprived of the possibility of unlimited growth.
The power of a nation being concentrated around only a few individuals was often only possible with humans.
Or were they half-breeds?
Although highly probable, that would mean they vited one of the elves most important rules. Their royal family was supposed to preserve the purity of their elven blood from generation to generation.
I was intrigued.
What kind of man was the father of those twins that made even Elfheim decide to abandon the preservation of their blood and choose this path?
Ill have to meet with himter.
But I had already mentally drawn up my schedule.
Therefore, meeting an evil elf was at the very bottom of my list.
At the top of it was, of course, Lanuvel.
I had to reveal Lanuvels true identity, who no longer acted like an ordinarypanion.
Ssosiel, the director, was already on it, but I couldnt sit idly by.
Wondering where she could be hiding, the city of angels came to mind first.
I decided to start there.
***
The Festival was small.
It didnt even reach half the size of Fantasy.
But it had many moons,rge and small, where angels built their cities.
Thats not thetest information, is it?
Yes. I heard this from my parents, so I cant guarantee its veracity. I dont think the situation has changed much, though.
I received a fair amount of intel from Hanjo.
I wonder how they will behave.
Teachers were loyal to the director, who had absolute power. That was why, after the owner of that position changed, their behavior changed ordingly.
What would the angels do?
If they were all loyal to the First Angel herself, they might resist the Righteous Hero with all their might.
Otherwise, they would prostrate themselves before me.
Would you rather fight them? Hanjo asked.
That would be nice.
I wouldnt regret crushing their shaky faith by force.
Compressing space, I found myself on a moon.
The higher one rose in the atmosphere, the more useless the angels white wings became. It was because of this that it was difficult for birds to climb into the stratosphere.
But these chickens seemed different!
Not giving a damn about thews of physics, they flew around in space.
D-Demon Lord!
Parmamon is here!
Alert! Alert! Alert!
Mama!
The angels who found me were frightened, causing them to p their wings in panic.
How pitiful.
The patronage of the universe used to send meteorites from the sky to punish all evil for me.
Now, however, I had to deal with everyone separately.
Their defenses are full of holes.
I thought I wouldnt touch their civilians and focus on their soldiers instead, but only a few stupid chickens representing the civil defense attacked me.
How is that Kh?!
After hitting Hanjo over the head with Dark Energy, I replied, Do not ask me, but try to find out yourself, since you have alreadye with me.
Oh I get it.
Hanjo flew towards the angels and began to collect information.
Sorry. Dont be rmed. I am an angel just like you.
D-donte any closer!
Who even started conversations like that?
Why should they not be afraid just because she belonged to the same race?
It was just like when Elf Princess Sylvia burst into the ck Market with weapons in her hands, shouting, Dont be afraid, Im an elf too!
Being of the same kind meant they wouldntmit sins against each other? That was an absurd way of thinking.
There were robbers, perverts, arsonists, kidnappers, madmen, murderers, crooks, and all sorts of criminals, even among elves.
That happened not only among kinsmen but also among ssmates, work colleagues, fellow countrymen, representatives of the same sex,rades
One shouldnt lower their guards just because they were somewhat simr to others. After all, maniptors often used such simrities to gain their victims trust before striking.
My method was way more efficient.
Hey, dont worry, chicken head. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldve done it long ago. Now, tell me why this city almost has no soldiers.
Kh-kh?!
Keep your mouth shut if you dont want to talk. Your scream would make too much noise and lead to amotion. There are others here who can answer for you. Parents, wives, sons, daughters, friends
L-let go of my throat Kh!
If you dont want to, you dont have to talk. I wont force you.
Let me do it! Please!
I hoped Hanjo learned from what I just did. This was how the Righteous Hero asked questions.
I utilized a technique that made my target voluntarily spill intel in the shortest possible time.
Speak before I change my mind.
I will! Thank you!
Angel A began his story.
Most of hisrades who went to Fantasy to rescue the First Angel didnt return.
Therefore, the few remaining soldiers here didnt stay in one ce but instead patrolled different cities.
But over time, this changed.
Hurry up, Angel A. I dont have much free time.
I was going to, but I dont know how to exin it
Just tell me how it is.
Rumors are spreading that the missing Parmael has been captured. Therefore, the higher-ups formed a rescue squad with the remaining soldiers.
A rescue squad
Ignorant angels.
Saving Parmael?
His bold statement made me chuckle.
I smiled at him.
H-hik?!
In other words, the angels are in a very precarious position right now.
Everything was messed up.
What good would it bring me if I were to twist these angels heads? They didnt even try to resist. Instead, they lined up to evacuate.
All I had to do was use dark matter on them, and they would be crushed in an instant.
Hanjo.
Yes?
Bring them all back to the city. Kill those who disobey or try to escape. Even the children mustnt be spared. If we let them go and they grow up, theyll definitely want to take revenge, causing us many problems in the future.
Umm Okay
I see you have doubts. Dont worry. I, the Righteous Demon Lord, am adaptable and merciful. If you find someone you cant bring yourself to kill, then bring them to me. Ill take your life in their ce.
That wont be necessary!
I wanted to show mercy, but she refused.
For me, however, these were huge concessions.
If even a young angel were to escape, theyd grow up wanting to take revenge on me.
They would threaten my family, and I might have to make sacrifices.
But I offered to spare such a sinister being.
It was a really giganticpromise on my end!
I will give you plenty of timeter toy eggs with the males of your race, Hanzo. In the meantime, however, I need you to guard the city and disallow anyone from escaping.
E-eggs?
Confused, Hanjo flew towards the refugees procession.
And ordered them to return.
They ignored her, but when their leader died from an arrow to his heart, they immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
Traitor!
How dare you call yourself an angel?!
Who are your parents?!
How can you attack your own kind?!
Betrayer!
Curses kept spilling from their mouths.
It didntst long, however. Realizing their screams werent working, the angels were left with no other choice but to return to their city.
As for me
Just look at their erect vertebrae. I suppose youll only learn to bow your heads after witnessing your friends and families suffer from my Dark Energy until they sumb to death.
W-were s-sorry! Have mercy!
We didnt want to! We apologize!
Have mercy! Demon Lord!
Only now did they begin to prostrate themselves.
They didnt know me.
If I wanted to get rid of them, I wouldnt have talked to them for so long.
Doing so wouldve been pointless otherwise.
Why would I chat with those whod soon meet death anyways?
Looking around, I realized the interior of the city seemed tobine magic and science.
This was made evident by most of its details, like a fountain that soared up instead of flowed down and the stairless multi-story buildings.
You live in abundance here.
You can rx, chickens. Rather than taking whats not mine, I prefer to destroy itpletely. Im no thief.
The angels had very diverse expressions as they looked at me, which I found quite a pleasant sight.
But my words werent without weight. The angels really lived in abundance.
Maybe it was because they used the natural resources of the universe, but most of their buildings and other structures were built of gold. They werent just gilded with it.
Precious metals, which would have made peoples eyes light up, were scattered everywhere here, like dirt underfoot.
These were the resources of the universe.
Their way of life was very different from Earthlings.
Wee Demon Lord Parmamon.
One of the angels suddenly spoke to me.
Politely, I replied, Youre probably the one in charge here. If not, and you still dared to disturb me,mit suicide. Once you do, I will forgive you.
Youre right.
Then, Angel D, since youve finally shown yourself, I take it youre prepared to answer my questions? Oh! Fear not. I am righteous and fair. Any angel who has questions can raise their hand they dont mind losing.
It seemed that they had no questions.
Demon Lord! We have neither the will nor the army to oppose you. I plead that you have mercy on us
Who rules you?
Have mercy Kh?!
SKR!
Angel D, whose neck cracked between his 6th and 7th vertebrae, fell.
He stepped forward, ready to answer questions, but he started spouting a bunch of nonsense instead.
To calm everyone down, I disyed my Righteous Heros smile.
Is there anyone here thatll make more sense than this idiot?
Nobody took the initiative, so I decided to choose one myself.
Hey, you. The angel in pink panties with slime patterns.
Ah?!
I like your panties. If you answer my questions properly, then starting today, youll be known as this citys representative.
There was no need for me to look at her skills.
She already passed since she already recognized the greatness of slimes, the race of Master Mon, the one true supreme being.
That was much more important than skills.
You continue to assert that you do not have an army, but how is it so peaceful and calm in this city then?
Thats because nobody attacks us
What about Noebius?
When he was young, the angels turned him into their pet. As a result, when I set him free, he rampaged like an unstoppable beast.
He would want to take revenge on them!
On the contrary, however, this city, along with many others, remained in perfect peace and order.
Logically, that simply wasnt possible.
In other words, the angels were lying to the innocent Demon Lord!
The angel with slime-patterned panties answered, Hes already passed away
Who?
The Supreme Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius
Are you sure he didnt just pretend to be defeated by your army?
The news that my best friend might be dead shocked me.
Angel shook her head in denial.
No. That merciless dragon, distraught by vengeance, was killed by Elf King Elfheims two granddaughters.
Are you saying that a dragon capable of piercing the angels divine shield with one blow died at the hands of two little elves?
Yes.
It seemed like I would have to change my priorities and first meet the miserable elf.
Chapter 344 - [22nd Round] The Day You Were Born
Chapter 344 - [22nd Round] The Day You Were Born
Are the half-breeds so great that even Noebius couldnt resist them?
Fsuh!
After leaving the angels city, I immediately returned to Festival, constricting space to shorten my travel time.
The news I received was still shocking to me.
Of course, if the angels lied to me, they would pay for it!
But if it was true
I needed to be on the lookout too.
Did the death of some dragon shock you that much, Demon Lord?
Hes not just some dragon. Hes special.
Ah, right. Hes Demon Lord Kang Han Soos friend. I understand now. Youre grieving
Thats not it.
That was a touching story, but his death itself didnt matter.
Weaklings could never be my friend in the first ce.
Despite that, someone was able to kill him.
Was he really that outstanding?
When I destroyed the Fantasy, he remained unharmed and even challenged me.
Oh yes. Ssosiel mentioned that. She never stops showing off her incredible husband.
Then you can roughly imagine how strong Noebius is.
Well I wasnt very impressed because I lived in a different environment. I grew up listening to news about people destroying stars.
That made sense.
If one kept hearing news about stars being decimated by others from a young age, it would be so normalized that it wouldnt be much different from traffic idents on Earth in terms of impact.
Anyway
Lets check the city hall where he used to hang out.
The world of Fantasy had evolved at a very fast pace since I distributed flush toilets.
After two millennia, its topography had changed so much that I couldnt recognize it, but Festival remained almost the same.
However
A lot of young elves now roamed its streets. It felt like a baby boom happened here 100 years ago.
And starting early evening, suspicious sounds often echoed from the houses in the city.
Oh yeah, baby~
I love you! Oh!
I love you too!
Agghhhnn!
Average individuals wouldnt be able to hear them since a thin noise-insting wall blocked such sounds, but even Hanjos skills would be enough to hear the cheerful ps that came with them.
Chpok! Chpok! Chpok! Chpok!
That was the voice of Mother Nature, telling the tale of new life being born.
Wow, elves are as active here as humans are
Hanjo, whose face flushed, seemed unable to decide where to direct her gaze.
Yes, they are well settled here.
A tyrannical monarchy was a very unstable political system.
Under such circumstances, the power of the monarch dictated the fate of the entire state.
Because of this, human dynasties couldntst long. After all, not every offspring could be a great ruler.
But everything was different for elves.
If a Chaos Elf with eternal life proved themselves to be apetent monarch, their country would have endless progress and glory until some natural disaster destroyed it.
Of course, that didnt mean Elfheim was a perfect king.
I noticed a poster on the wall of one of the houses.
Dear Citizens, Mayor Elfheim greets you. Make love diligently until you gain wonderful offspring. If you seed, they will take care of you once youre old and frail. Prepare for old age now and be the first to show off to your neighbors. Thanks to my lovely granddaughters, every day is now full of happiness for me!
As expected, they implemented a policy promoting childbearing, but there was no institutional support for it other than public rtions.
The campaign itself could hardly be called normal, though. All Elfheim did was brag to the townspeople about his granddaughters.
What was even more absurd than that was that it worked.
My God! This is the first time in my life that Ive seen such a policy. The mayor encouragespetition to increase the birth rate of their species
At least, he doesnt force it.
The city hall building was as I remembered it.
Elfheim usually sat on the second floor by the window and looked at the breasts of women passing by.
But he wasnt there today.
We had to look around.
I jumped up and looked through the second-floor window.
Demon Lord, theres no one there at all, let alone the mayor.
Hmm The room didnt look deserted.
On the table was a map of Festival, with lines drawn using crayons symbolizing boundaries.
Some territories or countries were marked with a big red X.
At first nce, one might think that this was a military headquarters and not the mayors office.
But with crayons and scrapbooks scattered all over the ce, it felt like a simple childish joke.
Now what?
Is it worth going in search of him?
You dont need to search for him.
I didnt attack the one who suddenly answered me.
I knew her, after all.
The married woman who apanied me some time ago appeared once more.
Shadow A.
Youre early, Sir Hero. I thought youd only show up a few months after finding Lanuvel.
And your outfit has changed a lot in such a short time.
Her dress was modest, but her prominent breasts were clearly entuated.
Does it suit me?
Dont ask me.
It wasnt just her outfit that had changed.
Shadow As expression, now that she had be a normal non-teacher elf, was a mixture of happiness and anxiety.
You came here to meet Elfheim, right?
Yes. Where is he?
Hes at home. He is so obsessed with his granddaughters that he pays almost no attention even to his wife and daughter.
***
One man and two girls were sitting on a soft sofa in front of the window, from where there was a beautiful view of the emeraldke, colored with the orange reflection of the sunset.
The young-looking guy had pretty grown-up girls huddled on his sides. It smelled of crime, but that wasnt the case.
Grandpa, I cant sleep.
These three belonged to the same family.
Haha! Old stories are the best for situations like this!
It cant be Again?
My dear granddaughter Selenis, on the day you were born, the very forests of Festival whispered your name to me.
What about me, Grandpa?
Haha! My dear granddaughter Selvenus, the day you were born, I danced non-stop.
Lies. Last time you said you danced when my older sister was born.
Selenis, Selvenus, listen carefully. You two are unprecedented miracles. For our people, any newborn is an unthinkable jewel, but your mother overcame all thews of nature. She prayed every day for a sessful birth and felt delighted when Selenis was born healthy. But after her, Selvenus appeared. You two cried with each other. Twins. That was truly a miracle. All the elves blessed you all night, chanting your names.
(Omitted) I prayed to the Earth Spirit King to give you strength, the Fire Spirit King to give you courage, the Wind Spirit King to give you agility, and the Water Spirit King to give you flexibility. I then prayed to the Soul Spirit King for him to brainwash all the creatures of Festival and make everyone love you. Moreover Ah! My beautiful treasures have already fallen asleep. I hope you two have sweet dreams.
I almost fell asleep listening to him myself.
But I didnt interrupt him since Elfheim seemed very attached to his granddaughters.
Their house was muchrger than before. The number of its residents increased from two to four, so it was only natural for them to do some renovations.
I slowly made my way into it.
Elfheim, who was hugging his sleeping granddaughters, looked at me.
But he wasnt surprised. He was expecting my visit from the moment Shadow A returned.
He didnt say anything, not wanting to wake his granddaughters up, and simply pointed to the second floor.
I examined the two girls who killed Noebius.
? Race: Wonder Elf

They had a whole bunch of fraudulent skills.
In principle, there were enough of them to make Z-rank skills, but they were too rare and useful to be used as a sacrifice for oveing their limits.
But the absence of at least one or two Z-rank skills suggested they either didnt know how to ovee their limits or werent interested in it.
In any case, even such skills werent enough to defeat Noebius.
If so
[Retribution]
[Sister]
[Elf]
Divine powers!
They werent deities but Apostles of Gods.
However, the purity of their divine powers, borrowed from others, was extremely high. Their Retribution even instinctively made me have goosebumps.
That was it.
The absurd power that allowed the young elves to defeat Noebius himself!
Lets talk about itter.
I didnt wake the young elves and went upstairs as Elfheim indicated.
Climbing the stairs, I saw a picture of Elf K with her daughters on the wall.
I had already guessed it from the moment I arrived here, but now I was certain who the girls mother was.
Hanjo, who quietly followed me, whispered, Demon Lord Kang Han Soo. Elfheims granddaughters are pretty good for their young age, but they dont look strong enough to kill Noebius.
Thats how they look like for those who arent deities.
Ah
Its best not to challenge them. I dont know the principle behind it, but their power can erase you in an instant.
Is their strength that great?
I think so.
I didnt know which god endowed those innocent children with such dangerous powers, but they were probably determined to destroy the sr system.
Looking around the second floor, I noticed onemon feature.
Their father isnt in their family photos.
I had a passing thought about Elfheim and Elf Ks rtionship, but that wasnt the case.
He didnt touch her even when he was locked with her in the same space for many years. It would be weird if he suddenly did the opposite.
Then who was their father?
Their race Wonder Elf showed no signs of blood mixing. However, their precocious bodies still hinted that they were born from the union of a man and an elf.
My thoughts stopped the moment I saw Elf K entering the living room after cleaning the childrens room.
Looking at her, I couldnt believe that she was a mother of two. She looked the same as before.
Had her prctin failed to do its job?
For a couple of moments, the elf hesitated but was still the first to initiate a conversation.
You really returned, Hero
Yes, I have?
Thank you for the precious gift you left me.
Its my pleasure.
Could you give me another one?
Ill think about it.
What gift were we talking about?
Chapter 345 - [22nd Round] We look alike!

Elf Ks status hadnt changed much since thest time I saw her, but looking at her made memories flood into my head.
It was on my 53rd year in the world of Fantasy.
At the request of Elf K, I spent a hot night with her. And in the morning, I met Health Teacher.
Have you seen the children?
Yes, they are sleeping.
Is that so Oh! Come here. There is even room for the Hero. Its slightly worse than the S-grade apartment provided by the school, but I have tried to furnish it in a way that you would experience as little convenience as possible.
Hmm.
I didnt hesitate to enter the room.
My portrait was hung on the wall, where I was depicted with a pretty smile on my face.
I was the Righteous Hero. I would never smile like Sieg.
However, its interior was generally cozy.
Do you like it?
In a way
Thats great to hear. Um Can I take your hand?
Do what you want.
Elf K grabbed my left hand with both of her hands and pressed it against her cheek.
By this time, I could no longer deny this fact.
The two elven girls who killed Noebius carried not only Elf Ks blood but mine as well.
My God! So my kids killed my best friend?
I still didnt know why they did it, but Noebius was still one of the Five Great Disasters. It wasnt surprising that there were still people hunting him.
I fought him myself, so I couldnt me my kids.
Elves are a race used to waiting, but 161 years is still a long time for me. I just hugged your hand, but my heart immediately fluttered with joy.
I didnt know you were so attached to me.
I analyzed this objectively.
Elf K couldnt love me as a man.
She would be grateful to any man who saved her from the dungeon of angels.
Feelings of gratitude could turn into love, but this was just being impulsive.
It was the same as how I liked Lanuvel at first, who I really thought was cute in the early days of the first round.
I would understand if she obsessed over me for a while.
But 161 years
Her feelings were now difficult tobel as impulsive or simple. Perhaps the key factor that contributed to its worsening was our two children.
I am very grateful to the Hero for visiting me. Selenis and Selvenus are good kids!
Whats your name?
I tended to give simple nicknames to dummies that didnt matter to me.
I came up with this method in my 1st round after numerous losses and defeats.
I shouldnt get close to someone.
Fugitive Senior tried to get closer to all the beauties he met, which wasnt unnecessary, but I wasnt so omnivorous.
Connections made one weaker.
Although I was prepared to make sacrifices, that was because I had nothing to sacrifice.
With nothing to lose, I became this strong.
Thalea Alborea.
I see.
Asking her name after so long made me feel ufortable, so I started looking around the room, trying to avoid her gaze.
My name is Thalea, and Alboreas the name my father gave to my mother, who used to be a nameless ve.
Did you inherit it?
Yes. She lived her entire life looking only at my father and died because she used too much divine power to protect him.
Elfheim was lucky.
In Fantasy, it was natural for a strong male to have arge number of females, and conversely, a strong female could have arge number of males, like a queen bee.
However, all of that deplorable Elfs wives were powerful.
His first wife possessed divine power, the second was a sinister shaman, and the third was a bodyguard and assassin.
He had an interesting love history.
But I started using my mothers name quite recently, perhaps around 160 years ago.
Hmm? Yes, quite recent
I forgot. The elf before me, pretending to be a young maiden, was actually an ancient relic.
160 years for her was a short period of time.
I prayed every day for safe delivery, knowing that a new life was born in me. Im happy God actually answered my prayers.
[Elf]
Now it was clear where the twins got that divine power.
The apparition of an elven woman hovered behind Thalea.
I knew who it was.
Alborea.
She was the first wife of the pathetic Elf King and mother of Thalea.
She protects my children and me. Such is the power of the concept stating that an elf with eternal life will always care for her descendants. Naturally, I will be the payment for it. When my two daughters be mothers, I will be their guardian.
Interesting.
Sitting on the soft bed, I waved my hand to Hanjo, signaling her to leave.
Immediately, her imagination red up, causing her to hurry out of the room as her face turned red.
Ill scout the perimeters for now!
Dont imagine anything strange.
I wasnt going to!
Dont even dare.
Whatever she was imagining was exactly what was about to happen.
***
At that time, I was careless.
Since I was a spirit that couldnt interbreed with other races, and Thalea was a royal elf with a very low chance of getting pregnant, I decided that one night with her wouldnt hurt.
The results stated otherwise.
Twins, no less
The most absurd miracle happened, and there was no way I could have predicted it. It was hard to believe, even if it was because of someone elses interference.
Therefore, now I always use the ring of luck.
What a disgusting ring.
Its very important.
But I liked it anyway.
Grinning, Thalea helped me dress, and I went downstairs.
Hoohoohoo~?
The hum I heard made me feel ufortable so early in the morning.
Why are you so happy?
Ah! Hero. Today is a lucky day!
Is that so.
Elfheim was in the kitchen, wearing an apron and a joyful expression.
Cutting something on the counter, he smiled. Do you want to ask why?
No.
Haha! Brave Hero, dont be shy. On this day, two of my granddaughters were born!
I see.
Do you remember what I told you in the past?
No.
I told you my dream about the greatest elf queen being born with a broad soul and body and saving the elf race and leading the lowly elven race members. As soon as I woke up back then, I felt like eating salmon, just like today. I remember thinking that was a sign that I would be a good grandfather. And I did.
Ah, there was something like that.
There werent many grandfathers in the world who woke up early in the morning to cook salmon for their granddaughters.
So you do remember.
Then you said that you would put your granddaughter on yourp and do something strange.
Not strange. I told you that Id tell my granddaughters that the elves all over the world whispered their names on the day they were born, and it actually happened as fate dictated. Stories like that can help children develop self-esteem.
Oh yeah.
Haha! My daily life has been full of happinesstely. As I told you before, civil service candidates must first state my granddaughters names, Selenis and Selvenus, as part of the oral test before they can be admitted.
You really did it!
The elves whopletely trusted this pathetic guy and somehow still survived to this day were truly amazing.
Or were other elves too ipetent?
In any case, this was beyond my understanding.
Two children are truly a miracle. And theyre alreadyrger than their mothers. Im talking about their unripe fruits in the garden. Do you know whats even more amazing? I dont know why, but the seeds nted in the garden are pure, not mixed!
Call things by their proper names.
We have to be careful. Once, when I was walking down the road, holding my granddaughters hands, I got distracted by huge fruits. Because of that, I had to listen to the twins scolding. As soon as I saw their expressions, I felt like all the fruits in the world fell from their branches. It made me wonder if this is what the end of the world would look like when ites.
Rolling my eyes, I sat down at the table.
Grandpa~ Im hungry~
Grandpa! Me too! Me too!
Two girls appeared in the kitchen. They looked a little like their mother, not taking into ount what was below their necks.
Hmm?
Ah?
Our gazes met.
Although they were twins, it wasnt difficult to tell them apart.
I recognized their vertebrae.
The girl whose cervical spine resembled mine was Selenis, the eldest, and the girl whose lumbar spine resembled mine was Selvenus, the youngest.
They were also examining me.
[Retribution]
[Sister]
[Elf]
And they gradually increased the level of their strength.
I wanted to grab their spine and have a serious talk, as was the case with Haris, but there were two of them.
Plus, their Retribution bothered me.
The power that destroyed Noebius was a threat to me too.
I was unlikely to lose, but fighting them would make it difficult to keep my promise not to destroy the.
Besides, I was now trying to find Lanuvel.
I had to be in great shape until I could touch that bitchs spine.
I heard you defeated Noebius?
ckie?
ckie?
I didnt think there would ever be an elf who could address the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion Noebius, the symbol of intimidation and strength, using such a nickname.
But that wasnt bad at all.
It was quite logical that the Righteous Hero had such brave daughters!
Could you tell me why you defeated ckie?
He attacked our teacher.
He molested our teacher.
Both children answered at the same time.
Teacher?
Theyre talking about me Kh?!
My hand immediately responded to the voice that came from behind me.
Health Teacher.
Teacher?!
Teacher?!
Two surprised children jumped up from the table. However, they were in no hurry because they were afraid that the teacher would be injured.
Were they talking about her?
She was the one who gave me my lucky ring.
She said she would be my personal teacher if the faculty members made a mistake.
At least announce your appearance first.
I slowly loosened my grip on her neck.
Oh I thought youd notice, but it seems to me youre too focused on your daughters.
Why are you here?
Im keeping my promise to you, Kang Han Soo. You dont need my training, so Im taking care of your children instead. I was the one who cut the umbilical cords of Selenis and Selvenus.
Ah!
It seems that I was subconsciously prejudiced because of Teacher Morals.
Mathematics, History, Chemistry, Biology, Physical Education, Gardening, Sociology, Swimming, Home Economics, Art, Music, Geography, Acting
Not all teachers were stupid.
But because of the likes of Teacher Morals, I despised them all.
Selenis, Selvenus, say hello. Hes your father that youve wanted to meet for so long.
Dad?
Dad?
Did Thalea and Health Teacher talk about me often?
My daughters didnt seem very surprised.
Feel free to say hello to him!
Ah, hello.
Good morning
They straightened their backs and smiled brightly at me.
I decided to reciprocate, showing my Righteous Heros smile.
Im happy that I finally met you two. Itste, but Im d you were born so healthy.
I was satisfied.
They inherited more than just my spine.
I heard Health Teacher sigh.
I cant correct that smile of theirs
Why correct it? Wasnt it cute?
These were the perfect smiles of my Good-Postured Righteous Twins.
Chapter 346 - [22nd Round] Pretending to Be Cute!
Chapter 346 - [22nd Round] Pretending to Be Cute!
213 years ago, I, Righteous Hero Kang Han Soo, and my dummies, Sword Princess, Sword King, Sage, Mercenary King, Elf Queen, set out to storm Demon Lord Pedonars castle. After losing the Saintess and many otherrades, we finally reached the decisive battle! The Great Demon D, along with his subordinates, blocked our path. At that moment, Sword King Alex recklessly shouted, Go forth! I will catch up with you after Im done with them!\''
He died?
I think he died.
Telling a story wasnt fun if the audience anticipated the course of events.
Right. The arrogant and self-confident Sword King Alex was left behind with allied forces. However, he died while trying to stop the Great Demon D. Having dealt with the enemies, I went back to check the Sword King Alex and found him dying. I gave him a quick death. He remained forever in the heart of the Righteous Hero as someone who helped destroy Demon Lord Pedonar!
Wow!
Incredible!
I sat on a bench by theke and told my twins, sitting on either side of me, stories from my first round.
In hindsight, I could say that the 200 years from the 2nd round to the present were spent collecting debts.
My character and personality were formed in my first ten years in Fantasy, and it was finalized after I met Master Mon.
Now
I was the father of two daughters who didnt look like me.
They were different from my son Haris, whom the Sword Princess raised as a future knight.
Strength isnt everything.
Hmm?
What?
Haha! Next time, Ill tell you why strength isnt everything. The story of the mermaid Aqua, who was only interested in strong males Youll learn more next time.
Although they defeated young Noebius, they werent that strong.
They were 160 years old.
That made them almost ten times older than their brother Haris.
However, there was no significant difference in sheerbat power. The reason Selenis and Selvenus were so much stronger was that they possessed divine powers.
If my son Haris, whose spine resembled mine, could break out of the cycle of eternal regression, then in 100 years, he would be able to catch up No, on second thought, that was impossible.
No matter how hard I thought about it, I didnt know how to counter Retribution.
Which god gave my innocent children a red button that wouldunch nuclear missiles?
Selenis, Selvenus.
Ah?
Yes?
Great power does note with great responsibility. Nobody can force you to take responsibility. Great poweres with fear. If there is someone stronger than me in the universe, they can take everything I hold dear. Living without that fear is real happiness. However, the day mighte when Id be deprived of it.
Thatsplicated.
Thats unclear.
Haha! You dont need to understand.
I needed to be strong for them.
I had to give these children a world in which they wouldnt need to be strong themselves.
This would be myst work before retirement.
Dinner is ready~
I heard Thaleas voice.
My daughters immediately ran to her, and I asked, looking at the heavens:
Whats the deal with Lanuvel?
Shes not here. Neither are other threats, Hanjo replied as she descended.
All this time, I thought Lanuvel, pretending to be cute and deceiving good heroes and locals, was hiding out here somewhere, but I was thinking too narrowly.
She had already escaped from the Fantasy dimension.
So she could have escaped from here too.
Maybe she was already somewhere in space.
She cant wander around because there are interns everywhere.
That was the reason why my cowardly wife organized the Festival of Interns, generously showering them with rewards.
It was all to find Lanuvel.
Currently, outside the cities, trainees with shovels in their hands created extreme conditions.
In other words, there was nowhere for her to hide.
But if she still hadnt escaped
Lanuvel has no choice but to hide in the floating city of angels.
Perhaps. Hanjo, search all the angel cities for my arrival.
What will the Demon Lord do?
Dinner.
If youre envious, you can catch yourself a good rooster and marry him.
Um Im fine.
Fshuh!
Hanjo spread her wings nervously and flew high into the sky.
Well
I havent rested for a long time.
***
I decided to quietly escape at dawn.
Thalea had hoped to be with me longer, but now wasnt the right time.
I could lose everything.
If Fantasys ownership were passed to Monsoft, Ssosiel and I, who maintained it, would forever remain attached to it with no way to escape.
Shadow A jumped out of the shadows, covered with nothing but a nket over her underwear.
Sir Hero, Elfheim would like to speak to you.
Where is he?
At theke.
Okay.
Constricting space, I found myself behind the wall of the house, then by theke, where I saw Elfheim walking along the shore.
Oh! Youre really fast, Hero. If you were a murderer, I would already be dead. Haha!
Yes, very funny. What did you want to tell me?
I doubt the Hero came to the Festival just to see his daughters. There must be some special reason.
Thats right, I answered honestly.
Maybe I couldbel him as my second father-inw after Pedonar.
Although it was ironic that I had all of my children with women whom I wasnt married to.
Sword Princess Kaisa and Elf Thalea.
Ssosiel, my actual wife, was the only one who hadnt given birth to my children.
Elfheim, walking side by side with Shadow A, stopped and stared at theke.
Festival is home to First Angel Parmael. Shes slightly different from Demon Lord Pedonar, who migrated to the Fantasy. Parmael nurtured her people and followers since ancient times, and she ordered the angels to guide people to the path of adventurism. But soon, this became insufficient for the dramatically increasing number of adventurers.
And?
I still couldnt see the Elf Kings point, so I decided to listen a little more.
Parmael, deciding that there was nothing left here in Festival that the adventurers could explore, turned her gaze to another suitable for human life.
Fantasy.
Yes. Parmael became acquainted with Pedonar, the local guardian deity, and, having received permission from him, sent thousands of adventurers to that.
And that was the beginning of disaster.
The adventurers killed my mother-inw, Fantasy, the spirit of the, causing Pedonar and Parmael to fall out.
I knew very well what happened after that.
Parmael orchestrated an assault on Demon Lord Pedonar, dispatching some of her most distinguished warriors among the adventurers she raised.
And Fugitive Senior, who defeated Pedonar, was hailed as The First Hero.
Did you already know about this, Hero?
Didnt Shadow A tell you?
She did. You married the Demon Lords daughter, right? But my daughter came before her.
This is some kind of scam.
If a royal elf got pregnant at least once every 1000 years, it was already considered a sess, but Thalea seeded in just one night!
Nonsense.
Thats just how the world works.
Forget about it. You wanted to tell me the information youve collected over 200 years?
Yes. Therefore, I will not waste the Heros precious time telling what he already knows.
Great.
The expert Shakespeare knew how to conduct a dialogue, and the third Elf King wasnt any different.
Except for his pathetic hobby.
Lets go back to the roots. Having settled on the, Pedonar and Parmael pursued the same goal. They wanted to conquer the world and wanted everything it had to offer for themselves. It all started with such a childish idea. However, preparing to rule over it, they went their separate ways. Pedonar increased the number of his subjects by raising an army. On the other hand, Parmael increased the number of her subjects by gathering adventurers. Isnt it weird that she went with that path?
Indeed
If one wanted to conquer the world, they would need to collect an army.
Why would they need adventurers?
No matter how many there were, they were just thieves digging through tombs and ruins.
They wouldnt be able to appease the people of a defeated nation.
If criminals stated that they had established the rule ofw, who would believe them and follow them? Earths history was the perfect example of this.
In other words, there was something else involved.
Therefore, I came to the conclusion that someone hammered this idea into Parmael, who at the time was like an innocent child.
Adventurers can do whatever they want.
Yes. Adventurers are those who love, well, adventures. Someone who admires the spirit of adventurism influenced First Angel Parmael
Lanuvel!
That was the first name that came to my mind.
She always muttered about adventure. It always came down to adventure.
An adventure to find friendship, adventure to find love, adventure to build strength, adventure to strengthen bonds, adventure to generate ie
Conquest was also an adventure.
Elfheim continued, My full name is Elfheim Kahn Lanuberk. Elfheim is the name given to me by the second Elf King. Kahn is a title passed down to the leaders of the Southern Continents elves from generation to generation. Lanuberk is the surname I received from the Holy Empires ruling family when they adopted me.
The Holy Empire Parmaels grandson, Richel, was also the bearer of their blood.
Thats not just a coincidence. For nearly 200 years, I have been collecting information scattered across the Festival about ancient times while pretending to peep on the breasts of both human and angel races females.
Oh really?
He didnt pretend but really peeped,bining business with pleasure.
Lanuvel is truth in the ancientnguage. Lanuberk is an ancient word that means one who preaches the truth. Even in the foundational myths passed down from generation to generation among the Lanuberk imperial family, there are records that God descended from heaven to earth to spread the truth. Putting all those information together like puzzle pieces, it began to make sense. The angels also had a deity who taught them the truth about adventure.
Stop! That means
Oh! My God!
I felt admiration for Elfheim as I looked at him, gently rubbing Shadow As chest.
How did hee to such a terrifying conclusion?
His amazing deductive ability gave me goosebumps.
Therefore, archaeologist Lanuvel should be known as something else.
The Goddess of Fake Cuteness.
Huh?
Am I wrong?
Judging by his confused expression, it wasnt the answer he was expecting.
Elfheim corrected me.
The Goddess of Adventure.
That was the name of the most annoying deity in the universe.
Chapter 347 - [22nd Round] The Power of Adventure
Chapter 347 - [22nd Round] The Power of Adventure
This is definitely big news.
I wanted to punish her spine to ensure she would never pretend to be cute again.
However, she apparently was a goddess?
After my little fight against my best friend Noebius, I realized battling deities was difficult.
Having a chance to win wasnt enough.
Since whoever lost wouldnt be resurrected, one needed to bepletely confident of their victory.
This wasnt the right ce for it either.
I didnt want this to be destroyed right before Monsofts inspection team arrived.
A battle in the world of Fantasy would suit me, but definitely not here.
Please let me know about your schedule or n, Hero. I am prepared to sacrifice the time Id be spending with my beloved granddaughters to provide aid.
Why?
How could he even help me?
Elfheimughed.
My granddaughters influence on Festival is infinite. I have always dealt with diplomacy and politics from the perspective of the weaker faction since my people were too weak, and those who would be called heroes werent born among us. However, Selenis and Selvenus are different. The people are proud of them, and they have the strength weck.
Do you have anything to say about the case?
Haha! Ive already said my piece. Like I told you, my granddaughters have an unlimited influence on Festival, quite literally so. Even dragons, called the strongest race, kneel before them. When Noebius wanted to exterminate my people, my granddaughters came to their aid. They gained their full cooperation and support as a result. Im certain elves will be riding dragons in the future.
Is that so
Though unintentionally, I found out specifically why my daughters were hunting Noebius.
History indeed repeated itself.
My best friend Noebius, who found peace of mind due to Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti, didnt kill his people.
However, young Noebius, in Festival, couldnt find a soul mate. Hence, he took the same path he did before.
Did marriage really have such a big impact on him?
Regardless, I realized Elfheim had tremendous control over this.
Let me say what I couldnt tell you before, Hero. What can I do for you?
That sounded so cool!
The MAX-ss Righteous Hero answered with a smile.
Your help wont be necessary.
Ah
You did it well.
My two daughters growing up healthy and happy was enough for me.
***
Among mypanions, many threw insulting words at me.
However, no one cursed the whole world, wanting my death, like Lanuvel.
How did such a being even be a god?
But this only confirmed the story that she was the Goddess of Adventure.
Presently, the spirit of adventurism had disappeared from Fantasy due to the spread of Monphone 2.
From Lanuvels perspective, this would be uneptable.
The same went for these angels.
Those fucking chickens were lying when they said they didnt have an army.
Saying goodbye to Elfheim, I flew into the skies again.
Soon enough, I was greeted by numerous armed angels.
When it became known to them that I had visited one of their cities, their elite forces greeted me.
Their skills were impressive, and they were led by a male angel born with the second curse like Ssosia.
? Race: Second Angel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Divine Ruler (Faith Domination )
? Skills: Divinity GGG, Fervor GGG, Life Energy ZZZ, Faith Z, Charm Z
? Status: Anxiety, Anger
His stats didnt impress me much, except for his Divinity skill.
In addition, even though I would never say it out loud, the angel in front of me could really be considered the second most handsome.
His Fervor had reached the realm of gods, which seemed to have had a profound effect on his appearance.
I thought the Second Angel would be a woman
So he was Parmaels child, huh? Next to him, two more angels stepped forward.
Ssosia was the first child of Demon Lord Pedonar.
But after that, he had countless demonic princes and demonic princesses.
I would know. I killed them all.
I am Bananael, first offspring of Parmael.
I am Umamiel, second offspring of Parmael.
I am Potatoel, third offspring of Parmael.
As soon as I heard their names, I immediately felt hungry.
His first son Bananael was the strongest in terms of ability, his daughter Umamiel impressed and manipted others using the size of her breasts, and his second son, Potatoel, didnt stand out in any way.
Behind them were other powerful angels, presumably descendants of Parmael, but since none of them spoke, it was safe to assume these three were their leaders.
I decided to get straight to the point.
Where is Lanuberk, the one you consider a goddess?
The one who preached the truth.
One might say that the would inevitably be destroyed if two deities shed, but it would be better if it were to happen now rather than after the Festival of Heroes had begun.
It would be problematic if the battle dragged on, however.
Foolish human! Have you forgotten that her loyalty and love turned you into a powerful hero?
If she didnt care for you and didnt believe in human possibilities, your race wouldve been our cattle long ago. Be grateful and retreat.
Brother, do not provoke the deity. If he realizes his mistake, he can undo everything. Hear us. Get rid of the dreaded Monphone and join her on her adventure. This is the only way for you to be forgiven.
I wouldnt have listened to all their stupid speeches before.
That means Lanuvel is here.
Click!
I snapped my fingers.
To test the Lanuvel theory, I listened to their speech.
I didnt think they would confess so easily, but I had gathered all the information I needed. It was time to put an end to this.
[Darkness]
Dark matter crushed the angels mercilessly.
However
The power of love bes stronger thanks to Yin and Yang!
[Adventure]
Pink beams of light escaping from the bodies of the female angels behind Bananael pierced his body like arrows.
Bananael!
Do not give up!
You must win!
Be careful!
Dont lose against him!
A power not listed in the fantasy statistics was transferred from them to Bananael.
sh!
Next was Umamiels turn.
The power of friendship grows stronger through strong bonds!
[Adventure]
Something simr happened. Just the opposite.
White beams of light pierced her followers.
For mistress Umamiel!
Receive my power!
I am ready to give all of myself to you!
This ve of yours will give you strength!
Glory to mistress Umamiel!
Unlike Bananael, she was supported by both men and women.
Herbat power, significantly lower than Bananael, rose sharply,ing close to her brothers power.
I also checked Potatoel.
[Adventure]
The power of hope, which grows stronger if you dont give up
I couldnt tell what happened to him at all.
With his arms and legs spread wide, he rose higher into the skies in the shape of an X.
Regardless, one thing was certain.
As Elfheim suggested, Lanuvel was the Goddess of Adventure.
Bananael, Umamiel, Potatoel.
The proof of that was that my divine power, Darkness, didnt crush the three angels whose names made me hungry.
But it didnt matter.
[Human]
[Spinal Cord]
The divine power I inherited from my father-inw was very weak because it was expended in maintaining the Fantasy dimension.
But these divine powers that I created through my efforts were different.
Fshuh!
I jumped to Bananael, who was closest to me.
I will not let you! Automatian!
However, Bananael reacted swiftly.
Pop!
Calling out a name, he summoned a sword familiar to me.
Holy Sword A.
The one in the Fantasy dimension was a mass-produced copy. The one in his hand had to be the original.
I decided to respond in kind.
[Spine]
I invoked my Righteous Holy Sword, created by my divine power.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
We exchanged dozens of blows in just a moment.
However, Bananael showed no signs of a spinal fracture.
Kh!
My back!
Ahhh! It hurts!
Agh?!
The damage he received was distributed among the members of his support group.
It wouldnt have mattered if the damage I dealt umted, but Divinity and their natural healing absorbed my divine power.
And that stupid Holy Sword A
Dastardly automaticbat!
Yashiriel! The Demon Lord has turned his gaze on you! Back off! Lumiel! Right here! Chuel, keep your distance, but dont go far!
Bananael left the battle to Holy Sword A while he led the support group himself.
Because of that, I couldnt get rid of his defenseless support group.
It wouldve been perfect if I could break through Holy Sword As automation with my skills, but unlike its copies, it bestowed insane prowess upon its wielder.
Sooner orter, however, I would.
Bluoooooooo!
Shiiii!
Choooooh!
Raaah!
Griaaand!
The dragons that the angels raised as pets spewed their breaths on me.
Riding them were Umamiel and her followers.
The sight was pathetic.
Noebius wouldve been intimidating, but the pets of angels were nothing more than ordinary flying lizards.
I could deal with them with one movement of my hand.
[Human]
Like Bananael, who entrusted his battle to Holy Sword A, I couldnt rx, but I still had my left hand.
Fshuh!
The dragons breaths stopped, and a shockwave shot out towards Umamiel and her followers.
Love Aid!
Umamiels voice echoed throughout the area, and the shockwave my divine power created was cut in half like a sheet of paper.
Holy Sword B
That sword enhanced its users skills.
Since I had used it before, I didnt doubt its effectiveness.
However, it seemed to have another effect that I was not aware of.
Holy Sword Love Aid allows me to enhance and share skills, you foolish, power-driven Demon Lord! In other words, no matter what you use, you cannot surpass the power of our friendship.
They are ves.
The followers of Umamiel, who mentioned friendship, were not her friends or colleagues.
The angels treated their dragons with reins like pets as well.
Their friendship was impressive!
Jokes aside, I wouldnt deny their method was very effective.
ept defeat, Demon Lord!
Victory is ours!
Bananael and Umamiel had already begun celebrating their victory.
Absurd.
I would never lose to such a vile evil.
[Human]
[Darkness]
[Light]
I borrowed some love from my cowardly wife.
If I had this power, then the two opposing attributes would interfere with each other, but since I only borrowed it, it had a terrifying synergy effect instead.
And as a bonus
Let me show you our friendship.
Whoa!
They were mistaken if they thought the power of friendship depended on quantity.
Captain Fantasys plump palms hit several dozen dragons at once.
I didnt even want to talk about what happened to the angels who saddled them.
Griaannd?!
Raaaah?!
Weeeaaarrr?!
Captain Fantasy then spread his wings, sweeping through everything around him.
No, to be more precise, he incinerated all that existed within his vicinity.
It was time to end this!
Using the opportunity the giant baby gave me, I kicked Bananaels crotch and pped Umamiels soft chest with my hand.
Kh!
Hic!
I then threw them at Captain Fantasy, who finished what he started.
Looking for Potatoel, who hadnt yet taken part in the battle, I realized.
What the fuck is that?
How could I lose sight of such tremendous power?
I realized toote that Bananael and Umamiel were bait.
Potatoels loud voice thundered through the.
Please lend me your power, my friends scattered across the universe. Be a spark of hope
What are you trying to borrow?
I had no intention of letting the ugly chicken head do as he desired.
However, the very moment I jumped to him to stop him, Potatoel shouted.
Come! Lovenarok!
His divine power, representing the power he stole from others, fell upon me.
And at that moment, Captain Fantasy
Wah? Ooooo~
Put an end to it all.
Chapter 348 - [22nd Round] Chewing Chewing Chewing
Chapter 348 - [22nd Round] Chewing Chewing Chewing
Lovenarok.
It was another Holy Sword.
I had never seen it, but it seems that it could absorb someone elses power, charge it, and then fire all of that stored energy at once.
However, all of Potatoels collected power was dispelled by Captain Fantasys loud cry, turning his Holy Sword into an ordinary club.
[Adventure]
This is absurd Kh?!
No, this is as expected.
I grabbed my opponents neck between his 6th and 7th vertebrae.
Crunch!
His attack that absorbed others powers was certainly incredible. However, Captain Fantasy wasrger than all the living creatures on Festivalbined. For him, such sts were insignificant.
Name: Captain Fantasy
Nickname: The Greatest Child
The essence of the project Captain Fantasy, which began with the idea of creating a super robot that all men dreamed of, was its size.
Size didnt matter when I was fighting against ordinary dragons, but to resist the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion at the end of his years, creating a huge body was a necessity, not a choice.
Wow~
I couldnt even imagine I would have a huge child at my disposal instead of a super robot. However, thanks to infinite human possibilities, I still achieved my main objective nheless.
He was huge. Extremely huge.
Captain Fantasys wings alone could rece the sun itself.
[Human]
He was a GGG-Ranked child with limitless possibilities for growth.
I could confidently say that Captain Fantasy was the embodiment of my [Human] divine power.
I supplied him with energy, like a nuclear reactor, allowing his aircraft-carrier-like size to move.
I think were done here.
My final battle against Lanuvel hadnt happened yet, but I managed to keep the and moons intact while destroying the angels. I could definitely consider this a job well done.
My vanquished foes souls would now pass into the possession of the Fantasy system, and after, they would have to wait to be rebirthed as teaching aids.
What? I clicked my tongue when I saw a naked, resurrected Bananael in the sky.
Thanks to the traits of his Second Angel race, he managed to avoid death.
That wasnt all.
Hhgnn
Oh
Umamiel and Potatoel, connected to their brother by pink beams of light, didnt die either.
[Defiance]
[Defiance]
From what I could deduce, they seemed to have divided the damage among themselves.
However, not everyone connected by the rays survived. Even after distributing it evenly, the attrition they sustained was still far more than what normal angels could withstand.
In the end, they were the only ones that survived.
But it wouldnt stay that way for long.
Wow.
Kh!
Ah?!
Captain Fantasy hadnt even fought yet.
All he did was roll on his back from side to side and scream, but because of the difference in their weight sses, he still caused unmatched destruction.
After being hit by Captain Fantasys soft palm, Potatoel met his end.
As for Umamiel
Wow? Whoa!
Kya?!
Mistaking her for a rice cake, Captain Fantasy happily grabbed her and tossed her into his mouth.
Om-nom-nom.
He didnt seem to have any intention of spitting her out or swallowing her.
Youre the only one left.
Bananael wouldnt die because he was the Second Angel.
Dont be arrogant. Weve merely just begun. Lanuberk whispered to me that she would soon return to destroy everything that stands in her way. Death awaits those who give up adventure!
So shes not here.
Then there was nothing for me to do here.
From a distant, adventurers will be making their way here. Thousands of heroes honed and molded in Fantasy will unite under one banner. Resist as you want, but you will all perish! We angels will naturally be their ves, but it does not matter, for everyone will be kneeling before the truth of Lanuberk Kh-kh?!
You talk too much.
I wasnt sure how to deal with this undying cockroach, but as I began to look around, my gazended and fixed on Hanjo, which confused her.
W-what?
Hanjo, this banana belongs to you now. You can chew him or lick him. It makes no difference to me. Do whatever you want with him.
Chew? Lick? That is too too ahem! Thank you!
Hanjo tied Bananael with a rope as she blushed.
Untie me immediately! How dare you, a fellow angel, oppose me?! I am the Second Angel Bananael! The second noblest creature to ever exist!
I know, Mr. Bananael. My father was always envious of you since you took everything simply because you were born second.
Whos Hmm?!
Hanjo gagged Bananaels mouth and smiled.
We have many nights ahead when we can talk about our interests. With you, Ill be able to surpass my father. I will prove that I chose the right king.
Mmm!
That was how my battle against the angels of Festival ended.
Having lost theirmanders, including Bananael, the rest of their kind scattered around. I informed the trainees, who were busypeting, about them.
Like street vendors gathered at a festival, they fought for the best piece ofnd for their shop.
Among them, there were definitely some who would set their eyes on the city of angels.
That aside, I had to begin my preparations.
An army of adventurers
Lanuvel was most likely now traveling through space, gathering adventurers and instilling the idea of striking down the MAX-ss Demon Lord into their heads.
The universe was an area unknown to me.
I didnt know the quantity nor the quantity of thebatants Lanuvel could muster through persuasion.
I needed to be prepared.
If Lanuvel werent here, I wouldnt be able to trace her since I couldnt go beyond this dimension.
Hence, I decided to prepare until Lanuvel had returned, bringing adventurers who wanted to challenge me with her.
Wow~
Youre the only one I can rely on.
There seemed to be something I was forgetting, but it was most likely insignificant.
***
As soon as the Festival of Heroes began, the alumni would try to defeat me.
I wanted to punish them by messing with their vertebrae, but I just learned that Lanuvel was gathering an army to exact vengeance upon me.
Needing to ensure this institutions graduates would protect this ce from Lanuvels invasion, I deemed it necessary to discuss this problem with my cowardly wife.
Handsome hubby! Did you miss me?
I see youve gonepletely insane without me.
T-thats not true! I didnt miss my handsome husband at all, whose absence left me no other choice but to touch myself every night Tsk! I didnt say that!
Sure
Oh!
Ssosiel, upon hearing my call, immediately rushed to my side at the speed of light.
After stroking the pelvis of my wife, who had gone crazy about her husband, I asked her, Have you ever thought about having children?
of course I have.
Choose a cute kid that looks like Captain Fantasy.
Do you think kids are the same as sports cars that you can just pick and choose in a store?!
Youve never given birth yourself, but youre pretending to know everything anyway.
Oh
I brought up this topic since my conscience pricked me ever so slightly.
Haris, my son with the Sword Princess, simply happened to be born at the time, and my twin daughters, whom Thalea gave birth to, were not at all part of my ns, so they were like a miracle for me.
That being said, I didnt have a single child from my actual wife despite already having three children from two other women, both of which could be called cohabitants, though it might be a bit of a stretch.
To avoid destroying my family, as Fugitive Senior once did with his, I suggested a solution.
Well?
I was ready to unleash my 21st finger.
This time would be special.
My offspring with the Sword Princess and Thalea were conceived before I became a deity. Unlike back then, my cowardly wife and I were now gods.
Wouldnt it only be natural for a child born between deities to also be birthed as a god?
Even if that werent the case, our child would definitely be extraordinary.
No thanks.
Are you afraid?
Yes.
What? Really?
Really. Since Im fated to be second, my child should also be second. However, you already have four children.
If I give birth to a child of yours, all of your other children, except for Green Cake, even though hes adopted, will die. And if Green Cake also dies, then my child will be hailed as your first scion, which would mean his death as well. Such is the cruelty of my fate.
Ah.
I never thought the curse of being second was that terrible.
W-wait. Cant you think of other ways to calm your upset wife? Maybe a more ordinary way Theyre looking at us, hubby!
The True Hero cant be bothered by other peoples gazes!
But they bother me! It might not be a big deal to you, but I still need to work with these interns!
If you dont like it, push me away.
Youre too mean.
Ssosiels body became more supple as she pouted.
Still, my wife had a lot of energy.
Sitting on a bench in the city park, I spoke to Ssosiel while she was distributing documents to the trainees she assembled.
I learned that Lanuvels going to attack us with an army of adventurers.
We need to check if she really got out of Festival first.
Ah right.
ording to Bananael, Lanuvel left the dimension, but that was just his view of the situation.
Even if she escaped, she might just be hiding out here somewhere.
But if Lanuvel really isnt here, then you dont have to be the heroes target at the Festival of Heroes.
What?
We have already found those who will rece you. Parmael, Bananael, and many other angels will stand in the way of the heroes wholl be taking part in the festival. Hanjo will direct their actions, and General Chromatigus will take her ce.
Red.
Ah!
I won her support in exchange for Boris being returned to his original appearance.
Ah my Boris
I wanted to make an actual super robot out of Boris in the style of Captain Fantasy, but my cowardly wife took him away from me.
Its okay.
He almost killed me!
I know
Im disappointed! You took the side of the man who nearly killed your husband! How can you even call yourself my first wife?!
I-Im sorry! I didnt think it through. Youre right. Your first wife shouldnt do that. How can I side with other men? I mustve lost my mind for a second. Forgive me, most handsome husband in the universe!
I forgive you because I am indeed handsome. But dont do it again.
Yes. I wont.
The trainees stared at us, confused.
Were they fascinated by how a true husband behaved?
Stroking Ssosiels pelvis as she rested her head on my shoulder, I asked, Howre things over at Fantasy?
Ive finished everything. Since you killed many important angels, well have to reassign them, but dont worry. Vice-principal Parker Lee will take care of it.
Vice-principal Bakery, huh?
Hes very useful But hes nowhere near as valuable as your fingernail, let alone you!
As it should be.
That was only natural. How could a person who held someone elses son hostagepare with the MAX-ss Righteous Husband?
By the way, handsome hubby. When you fought the angels, did you see another angel leader? Her name is Umamiel. They say shes not on the list of those youve killed. The thing is, shes extremely smart, although shes not worth my little finger. Regardless, if left to her own devices, she could be troublesome.
Thats strange. I definitely killed her.
Are you sure?
Tell useless Bakery to check again. Its simply impossible for her to slip through my fingers.
Youre right.
I walked with Ssosiel around Festival, finishing all the preparations we had to do.
Havingpleted everything within a few days, we headed to the Great Temple, where the festival began.
To meet the inspection team.
That served as the Fantasy Institutions main entrance for outsiders, after all.
Why are you so noisy?
Wow?
Why are you whimpering all day? You didnt eat some nasty stuff, did you?
Wow.
Well, that doesnt seem to be the case.
Monsofts inspection team arrived soon after.
Chapter 349 - [23rd Round] Dragon Fighter Sieg
Chapter 349 - [23rd Round] Dragon Fighter Sieg
sh!
The Spatial Transportation Magic Circle shed brightly, and a woman and two men appeared on top of it.
The sharp-eyed woman looked to be in her early twenties and was dressed in a ck gothic outfit strewn with bright ornaments.
Her wavy golden hair, which clearly received a lot of work in the beauty salon, could be called a work of art. Her figure resembled that of a sculpture, the proportions of which were honed by a real master.
[Devastation]
She was a deity.
[Mon]
And at the same time, an apostle of God.
She was a follower of a deity of a higher level than herself.
Nice to meet you. Im Distoria, secretary and pet of Monsofts CEO and leader of this strategic group. With me are volunteers brought in for a more objective assessment of the Fantasy Institution. They will be joining you as students.
So youre in charge of the inspection?
Thats right. Judging by your motley divine powers, you must be the Demon Lord Kang Han Soo. And you, too, dont need to introduce yourself. I roughly know the current situation. You are Ssosiel, the new director.
Okay, Miss Disco. Then lets get down to business already.
My name is Distoria.
Well, sure, something like that.
Just call me the team leader. And the names of the students we will be enrolling are-
Does it matter? Student A and Student B should be enough, right?
Right.
Their team leader looked like she had eaten a sour lemon, and Students A and B looked like rotten potatoes, but those were all tiny details.
Ssosiel stepped forward.
Please dont be offended. He tends to forget the names of those he isnt interested in. Fantasys Demon Lord rates people ording to their abilities. If the two of you can prove your worth, he will definitely apologize.
Oh, I see.
Is that so
Student A and Student B looked at Ssosiels cowardly chest as they agreed.
She was the second most beautiful in the world, after all. Ones preferences didnt matter. Whenever anyone saw Ssosiel, they would immediately recognize her beauty.
She quickly resolved the situation.
Of course,ter, I would reward her cowardly breasts.
Ssosiel smiled, You two will go through the admission procedure right away. Since your current ability is unknown, youll be starting at the primary education course.
sh! sh!
The [Light] embraced Student A and Student B and sent them to the Fantasy dimension.
The two received Monphones in the Holy Empire and adapted to their surroundings in no time.
They seemed to have been carefully selected.
Miss Disco, looking at Ssosiel, then said, Ill be choosing a student at random to observe. These two are here as a form of safety and to conduct a more detailed inspection.
I remembered Supervisor Bakery mentioning something like that.
Will you really judge the entirety of the school based on the performance of one student?
Of course not, Demon Lord. I will evaluate three random individuals regardless of their education course.
Is that so.
Three students.
I didnt expect much from social outcasts, but I prayed she would pick the most outstanding ones.
Also, please arrange everything so that I can apany the student on his adventure as apanion. Oh! You dont have to worry about my safety. I can take care of myself.
As you wish.
Although I will randomly select students, there is still a risk of maniption. Therefore, we have prepared a certain method in advance. For the first examinee, Ill be choosing the one who first sent a message in the monphonemunitys chat window.
First?
I decided to leave the question of how Monsoft knew the features of Monphone 2 forter.
Right now, I was too busy wondering who Miss Disco chose.
I looked at Ssosiel.
Who is it?
What? Why do you look so filled with despair?
Shes choosing Sieg.
Despair appeared on my face too.
***
It had to be a conspiracy.
Hero Sieg.
He was a psychopath who betrayed his people to marry an elf. He was probably the worst of all options and shouldve been hidden from the inspection teams sight.
It was a shame I couldnt even think of taking care of it due to the Lanuvel issue.
This was why people had to always prepare for the worst.
I lost hope for a bright future.
Miss Disco had been summoned to the Southern Continent where Hero Sieg was. However, some adjustments were inevitable since they couldnt be brought together naturally.
Its a pleasure to meet you, Hero Sieg. I am Illeana, Saintess of the Great Child.
Wow! A divine elf with big breasts!
And this is my friend Distoria. Having received a prophecy from the Great Child, I will be able to join you only if you can bring me the Holy Sword of the Giants Moncoin. Until you aplish this task, my friend will help you.
I shall persevere!
Thats great to hear. Good luck
Former Saintess B from the Southern Continent took parental leave because Giant King Phoenix impregnated her.
Thief E, the daughter of Elfheim and Shadow A, filled her position.
In terms of stats, she had a more noble lineage than the previous Saintess. It wouldnt be farfetched to say she was more suitable for this role, even more so if the innocent heroes didnt see through her illusory breasts.
Hello, Sir Sieg. I am Distoria, and I
Her nickname was Disco, and she was born in the empire of vampires on the Western Continent.
My nickname is Disco. And I was born into the empire of vampires on the Western Continent Hey! Please control yourself!
Sorry, sorry. Youre so beautiful that I mustve unconsciously stared
Ah! I wasnt talking to you, Hero! Dont be upset about yourself!
Ill be more careful in the future. You had such an expression as if you were looking at a vile insect Please forgive me.
Oh
Their first meeting went smoothly.
Sieg wasnt in heat and behaved like an ordinary hero, and Disco joined him, avoiding harassment.
The biggest crisis was over!
Afterward, Sieg skillfully handled the monphone, immediately asking for help.
?Sieg: Seniors, can you tell me how to obtain the Holy Sword of Giants Moncoin? Your junior wont forget you.
?Zeus: Oh, is it my junior Sieg again? Ill tell you everything about it. Travel to the Giant Empire and join the Great Child religion. You probably already know how to join.
?Odin: Dont listen to Zeus. You dont have to join the Great Child religion. Just remember this: even if you make a mistake in the Giant Empire, you should never curse at the Great Child. When I once did, I appeared before the Giant King himself and was punished.
?Satan: This is all bullsh*t. The King himself curses the Great Child. Praising him will earn you a lot of hardships. Dont listen to Zeus and Odin.
?Ah: Junior Sieg, ignore the words of Satan. He ims without any proof that the Sword Princess is a married woman. Hes just ying with the feelings of those younger than him.
Luke: I would like to know the details as well.
He used themunity chat to gather information quickly.
In the past, they had to diligently explore the world of Fantasy, collecting legends and rumors. However, it was now possible to share information with other heroes, eliminating any particr need for it.
In particr, Sieg had a good reputation among the tertiary education students for his funny, cheeky behavior.
At that moment, Disco addressed him.
Hero Sieg.
Ah! Forgive me. I was looking at my phone. Have I made some other mistake?
No. And you dont have to constantly apologize to me. I really wasnt talking to you that time.
Mistress Disco is too kind to me. Im fine. Im already used to such treatment.
Um Lets just forget about it. I have a question.
Ask away.
You seem to be used to using the monphone. Does it help you a lot?
Without it, my journey wouldve been harder. Of course, the great explorer Green Cake is kindly helping me, but I dont want to keep being a burden to her
Arent you burdening your seniors in the chat?
Well Im sorry if it made you ufortable, but please be patient. I cant imagine life without this gadget
Its okay! Everything is fine! Use it as much as you want, Hero Sieg! I was just asking
Thanks!
Oh
Hispanions,posed of an elven mage, elven archer, elven thief, elven priest, elven swordsman could only nce sideways.
They were all women, but their t figures made it difficult to distinguish them from male elves when looking at them from afar.
Green Cake was no exception.
He turned into an elf to suit Siegs tastes.
If we take this road, well soon reach the Giant Empire. After half a day, well reach a hotel where we can stay, or we can head straight to the border. In the Elf Empire, its not safe outside towns and viges.
Green Cake not only showed the way but also took care of all their partys expenses and provision of support materials.
It was only thanks to him that Sieg was able to choosepanions to his liking.
Disco pointed this out immediately.
You seem to be relying too much on Green Cake.
Ah! This is how we usually distribute responsibilities. My otherpanions and I take part in battles.
I understand.
Since Disco was a deity, she could sense someone elses divine power, so she probably already noticed that Green Cake was my apostle.
In fact, if he canceled his transformation and swung his hand against them, he could immediately crush the heros party.
Goohohoh!
Hoohoh!
Gob! Gob!
Hero! Theres a crowd of goblins!
Goblins are surrounding us!
They got involved in an uphill battle with the goblins the weakest creatures of all monsters.
Sieg chosepanions by appearance and race, not by ability, and they would have died long ago if Green Cake didnt heal them from the back rows.
They somehow won all because of Sieg, who fought against five goblins simultaneously.
Disco suddenly asked, Is there any special reason why youre hiding your true strength?
Um, what do you mean
You fight with your skills disabled.
Ah! How do you know that I Um
Im not judging you. Im just wondering why.
I was forced by some inevitable circumstances.
There are no such circumstances.
I checked his personal file.
? Type: Personal File
? Name: Sieg
? Alignment: Lawful Good
? Main Quality: Timid
? Experience: 195 years
? Record: 1
? Overall Rating: Hes a student who was expected to be very sessful in enrollment. However, meeting the handsome student caused his personality to be distorted. He has an ambivalent mindset, wanting both to be the same as everyone else and be unique at the same time, and only recruits elves who are in a difficult situation as hispanions. Hisbat power is high enough for him to be admitted to the secondary education course, but he seems to have no intention of revealing his true strength. That being said, his ability to skillfully use the monphone is recognized by both teachers and students.
Simply put, Hero Sieg, who suffered from the eighth-grade syndrome, wanted to be strong among the weak without moving to the secondary education course.
I wanted to drive a littlemon sense into his head, but I couldnt interfere directly.
There was one more method, however.
Monphone.
?Munchkin: Sieg is a coward who can only deal with those weaker than him. He even gathers weak women and ves around him, then proceeds to have weird rtionships with them. If you deny it, then at least share a photo proving the opposite ^^
?Sieg: Who are you to judge people you dont know? Thats rude. Munchkin, if youre so cool, showcase those photos yourself.
?Limon: Both of you send pictures. Hopefully, youll be showing us something impressive.
?Aaron: I think I dropped by in time.
It was impossible to send multiple messages in a row in the chat, so there was no fierce controversy.
Even if there was such an opportunity, Sieg had nothing to say.
I waited a bit and then uploaded a photo.
?Munchkin: Smeared Giant King.JPG
?Munchkin: Shy Sword Princess.JPG
This was a memorable photo taken right after Giant King Phoenix learned a lesson from Captain Fantasys plump ass.
And in the second photo, the Sword Princess was kissing me. Of all the photographs where my face wasnt visible, this one was the best.
?Sieg: Unfortunately, I didnt take any pictures. However, I will soon take a couple and post them.
Aaaaaah!!! Whats wrong with that bastard?! Sieg shouted, throwing his monphone to the ground.
Unleashing histent power, the Hero with the eighth-grade syndrome rushed to the Giant Empire.
Ah? Hero?! Whats happening all of a sudden?!
Embarrassed, Disco hurried after him.
However, the elves with poor skills quickly fell behind.
Picking up Siegs monphone, which had fallen to the ground, Green Cake looked up into the sky and whispered, father?
Hmm? I knew nothing about this.
Chapter 350 - [23rd Round] Hero V
Chapter 350 - [23rd Round] Hero V
Damn it! Ill take a photo so great that everyone will envy me!
Sieg, confident in his skills, raced towards the Giant Empire, ignoring the requests for help of the local residents who came across him.
He wanted to get to the pce where the Giant King resided as soon as possible.
?Odin: Junior Sieg seems to be missing. Wheres his promised photo?
?Zeus: Do you think hell drop it? We need to turn on the alert. That way, well know when itsing.
?Satan: I think this task is impossible for him. Hes unlikely to be able to defeat the Giant King. And the Sword Princess activates strange powers whenever she finds herself in a disadvantageous position. She even bes immortal.
?Ah: Dont get ahead of yourself, Satan. We dont know anything yet. Dont you feel sorry for him?
A controversy arose in the monphonemunity chat about whether Sieg could send a decent photo or not.
However, he didnt get to see it since he threw away his monphone in a fit of anger.
Day and night, he raced forward like an angry bull, but emotions alone wouldnt get anyone far.
Oh oh
The distance between the Elf Empire in the northern part of the Southern Continent and the capital of the Giant Empire at the southern tip was about half of the Earths equator.
Exhausted, Sieg, gasping for air, sat down on the side of the road.
Hero Sieg! Why are you in such a hurry?
Disco kept a distance between them and only caught up with him after a while to avoid suspicions. However, there was not a drop of sweat on her face.
In Siegs eyes, who met her gaze, there was nothing but the look of regret.
I just want to get hold of the Holy Sword as soon as possible Im sorry. Thats all Ive got to say.
Everythings okay. I have nothing against this.
Although she insisted on being the Herospanion, Disco seemed to want to be just an observer, not interfering with what was happening.
Thepanions Sieg left behind shouldve been the ones helping him after all.
So, what well need to do next is Oh? Damn it
Sieg, out of habit, put his hand into his pocket to check the built-in map app in his monphone. Only then did he realize he had thrown it out.
And that was not the least of his problems.
On the Western Continent, androids were being produced non-stop, programmed to search and attack the heroes.
Angry robot Bianca!
It was difficult to expect good deeds from those who had inherited the name of Teacher Morals.
It didnt matter if the Hero was sitting on a flush toilet, eating lunch, or sleeping. They would attack anytime, anywhere.
And their goal wasnt only the Hero himself.
A littleter, Green Cake caught up with Sieg and calmly spoke to him.
Hero Sieg, all of yourpanions, except for me, were killed during the Bianca raid.
Really
Also, I picked up your monphone.
Oh!
This was what recruitingpanions by race and appearance instead of skills led to.
An almostplete destruction of the Heros squad Disco, who constantly insisted that everything was in order, frowned.
I had already assumed that things would go south the moment Sieg was chosen, but this looked downright pitiful.
Action needed to be taken.
You must not interfere, Savage Hero. That woman can easily detect your divine power, said the First Spirit, sprawled on my head.
Dont worry. Ill be careful. In preparation for cases like this, I had a robot ordered from Shakespeare.
A robot?
Bianca S+. Biancas remote-controlled male version, also known as Hero V. ording to the setting, its an ancient hero who decided to help neers.
***
One of the features installed on my Monphone 3+, an upgrade I was given shortly before the arrival of the Monsoft inspection team, was its virtual and augmented reality.
However, this was an unnecessary feature, considering I was already living in fantasy. As soon as I asked, my wife, the second most beautiful woman in the universe, would dance, swinging her pelvis for me.
However, I was interested in its additional features.
Live someone elses life.
Using it, I created the good-natured Hero V, who would help the newer heroes.
[Please select a race]
[Human] [Elf] [Dwarf] [Demon]
[Angel] [Mermaid] [Giant] [Vampire]
I chose [Human] without hesitation.
Since that was the mostmon race in the world of Fantasy, I decided to stop at this choice.
[Please select a gender]
[Male] [Female] [Asexual]
[Hermaphrodite] [Cloaca] [Tentacles]
in many of the games Ive yed on Earth, there were only two custom genders.
Shakespeare seemed to respect a wide variety of tastes.
Again, I chose [Male] without hesitation.
[Please select a profession]
[Farmer] [Fisherman] [ve] [Warrior]
[Knight] [Nobleman] [Royal Nobility] [Merchant]
[Mercenary] [Hero] [Artisan] [Unemployed]
[Priest] [Thief] [Bandit] [Pirate]
My job was extremely important.
My avatars age, appearance, and skills would be chosen at random ording to the job Id choose.
As nned, I chose [Hero].
[Are you sure of your choices?]
[Yes] [Change] [Cancel]
[Yes]
An android began to be created on the fly, like fast food, on the huge flying ship Monfors over the Western Continent of Fantasy.
And vo!
Hero V was born in an instant.
Hmm. Not bad.
? Race: Half-Man
? Level: 845
? Job: Hero (Exp 500%)
? Skills: Love S, Friendship S, Hope S, Courage S, Interpretation A
? Status: Good
Very well done.
In particr, the mention of its gender in its race yed an important role. In this way, Shakespeare hid the fact that it was an android.
Half man, half machine.
Its outfit was great too.
It wasnt clean and tidy, as if it were a cosy, but shabby and dirty, as if it had been worn for a long time.
Although the Holy Sword needed by the Hero was missing, it didnt matter since it was already retired.
Besides, I didnt use one myself back in my days.
Its physique and face, of course, leave much to be desired.
It was as handsome as the main characters of the novels that Ssosiel read, but it had a physique so skinny it looked like its spine would break in one blow.
However, that was also beneficial, considering it made the android look nothing like the beautiful me. Nobody would think I was Hero V.
Forward!
I would take far too long to get to the Southern Continent with this body, but Shakespeare took care of that.
[Where would you like to go?]
A small aircraft was waiting for me on board the Monfors.
Taking advantage of it, Hero V made it to the Southern Continent ahead of Hero Sieg.
Oh! One more thing
?Munchkin: Sieg, you didnt die, did you? I dont see any photos. Just admit that youre a pathetic sucker who decided to buy a high-level ve and made her look like your girlfriend.
?Sieg: Just wait! Ill be taking and posting a photo really soon!
I didnt forget to stimte him to make sure he wouldnt give up.
He raced towards the pce with all his might so as not to be aughing stock.
Meanwhile, Hero V prepared to meet him. I couldve met him without doing so, but I had to be careful because of the ongoing inspection.
This adventure wasnt the only one she nned on observing, after all. There were still two other heroes left, and if Disco noticed any inconsistencies, I would be in deep trouble.
The Wandering Hero would be perfect.
I would arrange a happenstance meeting with Sieg deep in the woods.
However, a casual encounter that he could easily point out in a guide wasnt worth arranging, so a little preparation was required.
After cing Hero V in the middle of a dense forest, in the center of which was a hugeke, I returned to my original body.
I needed to talk to the Giant King.
However, we wouldnt personally meet. The demons who secretly worked in the Giant Empire would be the ones doing this task.
Giant King Phoenix, I bring a message from Demon Lord Parmamon.
What is it?
If a hero attacks you, do not kill him. Just stun him and throw him into the northwesternke.
A strange request, but tell him that I will do as he desires.
Yes, sir.
Thatpleted my preparations.
Sieg, who left hispanions behind, soon arrived in the capital of the Giant Empire and immediately rushed to the pce to meet the Giant King.
Giant King! He eximed.
The Hero really came.
Yes! Legendary Hero Sieg hase to im the Holy Sword of Giants, Moncoin! For the glory of the Great Child and world peace!
Then go through the trials.
I refuse.
Hmm
His answer indicated he wanted to take it by force.
Such was the confidence of someone possessing secondary-education-level skills but still enrolled in the primary education course.
On the other hand, Phoenix, whose soul and skills were divided between the many ssrooms, was in a weakened state.
? Race: Giant Elf Overlord
? Level: 999+
? Job: Emperor (Tax Collection = Exp )
? Skills: Size G, Physical Strength Z, Eternal Youth MAX, Recovery SSS, Vitality SS
? Status: Boredom, Rxation, Transformation
Although his Size skill still reached the realm of gods, the rest were still sacrificed for it, resulting in unbnced stats.
That was why Sieg was so confident in himself.
? Race: Elfish Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Male Strength ZZZ, Evasion ZZ, Sword Mastery Z, Friendship Z, Endurance Z
? Status: Enthusiasm, Fatigue
He had great stats.
Although it was funny that his Male Strength was his highest-ranked skill despite his 195 years of career in Fantasy, that was his choice, so I decided not to quibble with it.
Iming!
Well The Giant King, whoughed aloud, finding the situation absurd, immediately turned off his Sizes ability that allowed him to assume a smaller form.
BRRR!
Thanks to their race, thebat power of an ordinary giant was five times greater than that of a person with the same skills.
However, he was muchrger than any of his kind.
It was even difficult to say how many times hisbat power exceeded humans.
Phoenix grabbed the Sieg like an ant.
Crunch
Aaaaghhhh!
He didnt kill him, but the battle was already over. On second thought, I wasnt sure if I could even call that a battle.
Begone.
Fshuh!
The Giant King, following my order, threw the Hero into the northwesternke.
Ssh!
Sieg fell into theke, but he didnt wake up. Instead, he started plunging into the water.
My time had finallye.
The Wandering Righteous Hero V got down to business!
By controlling it, I saved my pathetic junior from drowning.
but he wasnt breathing.
I decided to ask for help from a passing Orc A.
Hey! Come here.
Kuku?!
As the orc conducted CPR on him, Sieg finally opened his eyes.
Kh-kh! Thank you for saving me,dy? ahhh! Orc?!
Letting go of Orc A, whose face turned blue with shyness, I spoke to my junior.
Hello, junior. Is this your first time receiving artificial respiration from an orc?
Pwee-kh!
Why did he spit like that? He didnt even think about the orcs feelings.
Chapter 351 - [23rd Round] The Essence of Love
Chapter 351 - [23rd Round] The Essence of Love
Who the hell are you?!
Your savior. If not for me, you would have died.
I didnt ask to be saved by you Kh-kh?!
Then die.
W-wait!
In order not to reveal my true identity, I refrained from grabbing his vertebrae, but he ran into it himself.
However, the limitations of my mechanical body immediately made themselves known. I squeezed his neck between his 6th and 7th vertebrae, but Siegs body was too strong.
If so
Fshuh!
I dragged my cocky junior to theke and dipped his head into the water.
Before he couldpletely suffocate, I let him take one breath, then submerged his head again. I repeated this process over and over.
How do you like the water?
I was wrong Pha! Sorry Pha!
Drink to your hearts content. Dont be shy. This is the manifestation of your seniors love.
Kh-kha
After a while, having decided that he was ready tomunicate properly, I let him go.
Junior Sieg.
Yes! Senior!
I dont really want to do this because I have my own matters to take care of, but since you badly need my help, Ive decided to apany you on the way.
Huh? I dont Yes! Yes, senior! I desperately need your help!
Good. Ill help you.
Yeah, well
Hero V managed to join Hero Siegs squad.
Now for the next step.
Sieg, we will set up camp here until yourpanions find us.
Alright.
Get ready.
Yes Huh?
Camping without a flush toilet is awful, but he needed to learn to be self-sufficient.
Well If you hire apanion thats good at housekeeping, your problems will be solved.
Oh.
Sieg was trying to resist my teachings, but not because he decided to rebel. It was just his way of thinking.
Did he want to find apanion for every chore he found a hassle to do?
That was the same way of thinking as that of the locals. They pleased the Hero to make him voluntarily solve all their problems.
My sense of justice shed in my chest!
How many years have you been a hero, Sieg?
200 years. Im sure I have more experience than you.
Shameless sucker! He rounded up 195 years!
I calmed myself down, knowing I had to be patient.
More than mine? Listen, you stupid kid. I have over 2,000 years of experience! Ive been around even before flush toilets and Mons Teachings became widespread in this world.
Judging by your expression, you want proof, dont you? Alright. I will demonstrate them to youter when the time is right.
Why did you suddenly ask about my experience, though?
I dont want you to doubt the teachings of your great senior because of your pitiful experience.
This is stupid
If you continue to get on my nerves, I will force you to breed with the orcs until you be pregnant.
Siegs expression, distorted from discontent and distrust, immediately changed.
Now he looked finally ready to learn.
Find a suitable ce to camp. It should be dry but not too close to water. If it rains at night, it could flood the camp. However, make sure it isnt too far away from it either, so you have easy ess to drinking water. Choose a location that is above the water level and close to it. Usually, you dont need to worry about this because mercenaries and hunters leave their camps behind, but when you explore ces nobody ever visits like this, you have to solve all these problems yourself. (Omitted) Elves, who pretend to love trees, offer to camp under the arches of trees, but hit them hard on the head if they do. Such locations are good ces to be assassinated, after all. Hence, open space is best. Ive got a lot more to say, but Ill do it next time.
No!
Then get to it. Ill judge how good the location you pick will be.
Yes!
He immediately got down to business.
However, having lived 195 years in Fantasy, he couldnt easily get rid of his acquired chronic disease.
He was obsessed with elves.
Sorry, lovely elvendy. I want to pick up the branches you stepped on.
Oh! I beg your pardon.
I also want to collect the stones on which you are now standing. I chose this fragrant ce where thedy was staying for camp.
Really?
The embarrassed elf retreated and tried to get rid of the lustful Sieg.
However, not noticing her rejection, he continued his advances.
Where did youe from?
The north. We all explore remote areas in search of medicinal herbs to heal His Majesty Elfheim.
Elfheim He is very popr with the elvendies. But he is better than me only because he has royal blood.
If you insult His Majesty again, I will not forgive you!
Oh, I apologize. I didnt mean to offend you. Im just stating facts Oh. Im sorry! Talk to me a little more
Stay away. Tsk! I dont want anything to do with you!
The elf hastily departed.
Blushing in shame, Sieg muttered, Whats wrong with her? Why does she treat me like Im some kind of pervert? I save them from difficult situations and ve markets This situation reminded me of Munchkin! Damn it! Damn it all! One day, Ill have a normal rtionship with a cute elf too!
Sieg remembered the photo I sent again.
He might want to run away.
What should I do?
At that moment, I realized the elf looking for medicinal herbs hadnt yet managed to get far.
I had no other choice.
It looked like I was going to have to use the carrot and stick strategy.
Forgive me, elven madam.
Will you also pester me like that man?
I am a friend of His Majesty Elfheim. The spirits can attest to it. Any clever elf knows that spirits dont lie.
Well, I know that! Im not stupid Wait! Are you really a friend of His Majesty Elfheim?
If you cannot believe it, ask this innocent spirit. Hey, spirit. Let me begin our conversation by saying you have a prettier cloaca than thezy First Spirit.
Fshuh!
Spirit A, who liked my sincere praise, smiled brightly.
The other spirits then gathered around me, begging for praise.
There was no demonic pheromone in Hero Vs body that made the spirits sniff me all day, but I had been sexually harassed for 200 years. Hence, I had learned how to deal with them.
Wow Your affinity for spirits is really great.
Do you believe now?
Yes. The words of someone loved by the innocent spirits can be trusted.
It was time to move on to the main topic at hand.
If one werent a pathetic F-rank Hero, but a True Hero, this scenario was very easy.
A soul spirit whispered to me that you like me more than just a friend.
What? That cant be
Are you saying that an innocent spirit lied? Oh! Look. Your distrust has made the spirits ufortable.
Well
Say it again.
I dont really follow Oh!
A wind spirit pushed the hesitating elfs back.
As if it were the cover of a love story, the elf fell into Hero Vs arms.
Are you okay?
Oh, yes Ah?
A fire spirit increased the airs temperature around us, causing her body to feel hot.
As a result, she became unable to move due to dizziness.
You seem to have a fever
This is Ah?!
A water spirit, who also wanted my praise, joined the show.
It dampened the thin piece of white cloth wrapped between the fairys thighs.
The elf, who had mistaken this for a physiological phenomenon, began to blush.
Can you move on your own?
Of course Oh!
An earth spirit then made the soil stick to the sole of the elfs shoes, making it difficult for her to move.
Because of this, she couldnt even take a few steps on her own. Instead, she fell to the ground, sweating profusely.
Would you like my help?
Yes. Please.
Grasping Hero Vs firm hand, the elf shuddered.
Her heart beat faster.
A soul spirit, squeezed within it, did its work.
Her body began to actively release pheromones and hormones.
Lets go.
Ah, wait a second! I I need a ce where I can change said the elf, her voicenguid.
My task here was done.
No problem.
If Sieg hadnt escaped yet, he should be setting up camp now.
***
This is ridiculous this must be a dream this is too ridiculous
Revtion 5:8.
A foolish heretic who did not believe in Mon saw a miracle so grand he found himself shocked at the impossibility of the situation.
That was exactly what happened to Sieg.
Do not look away, junior. Witness the truth before you and ept that you are still far too young and inexperienced. This is the cruel reality. If everyone were like you, humanity would die out.
Kh!
The elf who imed that she wanted to change was in Hero Vs arms and had even lost the piece of cloth that was on her before.
Innocent spirits hovered joyfully around us.
And you call this a camp, Sieg? What have you been doing in the past 200 years? What I tasked you with was the basics of the basics.
Well, Sylvia
I suppose you bought her at the ve market too?
Sieg could not answer.
At that moment, the elf intervened.
Since you didnt destroy the ve market, many elves still suffer!
This is a misunderstanding! I was going to save themter!
Thats what everyone says.
I am different from them!
You all look and sound the same to me. The innocent spirits agree as well.
They nodded in unison.
The judges who listened to us found Sieg guilty of all charges, causing his expression to darken even more.
I looked at the stones and branches scattered around.
This is the first time Ive seen a hero so detached from reality I have seen worse, of course, so its still too early tomit suicide.
Oh
But what kind of girl would date a hero who cant even set up camp? Theres no hope for you.
Bang!
Hero Sieg suddenly fell to his knees, hitting the ground with his forehead.
Senior, please, please teach me the basics of love.
It was at this time that Disco and Green Cake found us, joining the party.
Frowning, Green Cake immediately pushed the elf aside.
H-hik?!
Embracing me with his arms, he greeted me in his female form:
FatherI mean big brother! Im so d to see you.
I know, but take a step back. This is disgusting.
Hehe
At that moment, Sieg shouted again in a desperate voice:
Teacher! I want to know true love!
Good.
Dr. Love would teach him using Spartan methods.
Chapter 352 - [23rd Round] Doctor of Love
Chapter 352 - [23rd Round] Doctor of Love
Who are you? Disco asked as she red at me.
I needed to answer carefully. If she figured me out, then we would most likely be reprimanded for deceiving her.
I am a former hero who just happened to pass by. I found and rescued Sieg drowning in theke.
A former hero?
Disco still looked at me dubiously.
Green Cake immediately rushed to provide the maximum possible support.
Miss Distoria, hes the Hero whom I have helped on adventures in the past. If he didnt retire due to his marriage, he would have defeated Demon Lord Parmamon.
I see.
Only then did Disco set her doubts aside and look at Sieg.
Her gaze alone told me she didnt know what to do with this young male and his eagerness to mate.
Well, I had ideas.
He very persistently insisted that I apany him, so now I will travel with you, Miss Dis Dis
My name is Distoria.
Ah, yes. I look forward to your cooperation.
That was dangerous.
I almost identally called her Disco.
Distoria, Distoria, Distoria, Distoria
Her name was too long.
I needed toe up with a short nickname for her.
Let me call you Diya.
Diya?
A friendly nickname.
Theres only one person in this universe who can call me by my nickname.
Well, it cant be helped, then.
Since she didnt like that either, I decided not to call her by her first name at all instead.
Sieg was pleased with the announcement that I would apany him.
Oh! Thank you, sir!
Senior is enough.
Yes, senior!
I fit perfectly into his party.
All that remained was to turn him into a decent guy in the shortest possible time.
First and foremost, I began his training with a psychological test.
Sieg, before I teach you how to meet girls, I want to ask you a question.
Im listening!
First question. You find a fragile beauty in a luxurious outfit, most likely a princess, lying alone on the ground in a deep forest. What do you do?
She must be in danger, so Ill rush to her aid.
Wrong! Normal princesses will never go anywhere unapanied. Shes most likely involved in political problems, or she just has trouble with her head. If you lend a helping hand to her, then know that you will not have a normal rtionship. She will only use you as a tool.
Well, if shes pretty Hehe!
He wasnt just stupid. He also had no self-esteem at all.
As I surveyed the SSS-rank camp set up by Green Cake, I continued, Second question. You enter the mens locker room and find a naked woman there. Screaming, she grabs her sword and lunges at you. What do you do?
Is she beautiful?
Yes. Very much so.
I will capture her naked body in my memory, like a photo, and run away. Every night, I will reminisce about it.
Wrong! You should scold the lustful woman who invaded the holynd of men! After all, a woman who attacks others because of her own mistake has huge personality problems. Leave the locker room immediately afterward. Our goal is a normal woman.
But in life, everyone can make mistakes
If you make a mistake, you must apologize. The perpetrator and victim should never switch ces.
I can forgive her if shes beautiful Hehe!
This was difficult.
His way of thinking left a lot to be desired, considering he would forgive everything if a woman were beautiful!
He wouldnt be able to have a rtionship based on the harmony and bnce of Yin and Yang.
And if shes ugly?
Then shes none of my business. Why would I save her?
Discos expression, listening quietly from the sidelines, didnt look the best.
She decided to observe a randomly selected hero, luckily choosing Sieg.
The situation needed to be corrected.
Sieg.
Yes, senior.
Listen carefully. I asked you those two questions so I can create a more personalized approach to teaching you.
Got it!
But your answers werent great. Oh, but you dont need to despair. I have a solution for it.
Really?
Be stronger than everyone else.
Huh?
Regardless of the past of the beauty in the forest, you need strength to convince her to live a new life. And you need strength to subdue the crazy bitch who attacked you in the mens locker room without killing her. Overwhelming power is the answer!
Is that really a good way to build rtionships?
What?
Did he not understand my words?
The stronger one became, the easier everything was.
It would be much easier to persuade others, emerge as the victor, make money, and travel
Of course, getting to know others as well.
Foolish Hero Sieg, its time for you to stop doubting my words. Why cant you calm down?
But, senior, helping those who are beautiful and closing my eyes to her mistakes is just the normal thing to do
Thats why you cant have a normal rtionship.
Ah
Inner beauty is more important than external beauty in a woman.
First, one had to check if her spine and pelvis were beautiful before even considering how her face looked.
Sieg immediately asked, Did you marry your wife based on her inner beauty?
Of course.
Is she beautiful?
Obviously. A woman with inner beauty will naturally be beautiful on the outside.
Thats the decisive factor?
Thats what I learned from my own experience. I do not operate based on theories picked up from others like you. You have nothing to say to that, do you?
Tsk!
Youre stubborn, Sieg, so much so that I find it funny. Remember this, however. Through weakness, youll be no better than a pervert, and with strength, youll be hailed as a hero who knows the rules of the game.
Oh!
To be called a hero, not a pervert, you have to be strong.
I had a n.
I was good at rtionships, but I also knew how to get stronger quickly.
To protect the Fantasy Institution that my wife loved so much, I would willingly reveal my secrets.
Trust me and follow me, Sieg. In doing so, I will show and give you true power.
From being worthless and useless, he would be a resolute and decisive hero.
***
The dungeon suitable for Sieg could be located through the monphone, but he needed to clear dungeons with high difficulty to be stronger as quickly as possible.
The one I rmended
Hmm. I dont remember its name, but Ive been to this dungeon. It has so many traps that it is almost impossible to find a safe path, and the monsters infesting it have been strengthened by absorbing the energy that flows from the dragon vein located underground. Its about ten times harder than others of its kind.
Someone posted information about that.
What did they say?
He said its an impregnable dungeon that no one should enter. He came to this conclusion after five regressions.
What an idiot.
It was a great ce filled with experience and good loot waiting to be taken.
Are we still going inside?
Of course.
It was located at the southern tip of the Southern Continent.
Despite its difficulty being set at the maximum, since we were in the primary education course, it was perfect for Sieg, who hid his true strength.
Theres nothing to be afraid of. I visited this ce every morning as my warm-up. And youre not alone. You have Green Cake.
What about me?
Me too.
Disco and the elf protested.
Do you want to take the lead and clear the dungeon instead of Sieg?
Respect Hero Sieg. The worstpanion is the one who acts as if they prepared a whole feast despite only contributing a spoon to the table.
I experienced it myself!
I was the one who cleared dungeons, but mypanions celebrated my victory as if it was their own, even though, in reality, all they did was interfere.
Lanuvel, of course, deliberately stepped on the traps, but the others werent that much help either.
Duringbat, they liked to bet on who would kill more enemies.
Regardless, once Sieg cleared this dungeon, hed be taking a step towards bing a decent person.
Well, off I go!
He entered a dungeon that resembled the tangled tunnels of an anthill.
We followed a littleter, tracking his footsteps and never interfering.
Mun Mun!
Mun!
Muaan!
Slimes were the first to block Siegs path.
But they didnt pose a threat to him.
If Master Mon had been here, however, the situation wouldve been far different
Goblins came right after them.
Go-oh-oh-oh!
Gob! Gob!
Gob!
Sieg also easily dealt with them.
Goblins were a weak race, so they often used cunning techniques. However, those dwelling within this dungeon had given up their dirty tricks and opted for a more direct approach since the influence of the dragons vein empowered them.
Like this!
Thanks to them, his confidence grew.
However
Booboo!
Kuku!
Heeeee!
He began to experience hardships upon facing the reinforced orcs.
? Race: Dragon Orc
? Level: 912
? Job: Warrior (Difficult Situation Combat )
? Skills: Insanity SSS, Communication SS, Combat SS, Determination SS, Strength S
? Status: Link, Dragon Vein
Although these orcs were highly skilled, they werent a match for Sieg, who could use strength worthy of secondary education in his primary education course.
However, the terrain disrupted hisbat style.
Regardless of whether it was Eastern, Western, or Fantasy culture, everyone loved dragons. On Earth, the energy lines passing between ces where energy umted were called dragon veins, and in the world of Fantasy, such ces were actually associated with a dragon.
It was where one was killed, after all.
The spilled dragons blood, containing their resentment, spoiled the ground below and drove the monsters and animals living on it to insanity.
Kh! Tsk! I cant fight alone anymore.
Use the traps around you.
Theyre the ones making it difficult for me to fight in the first ce, senior.
Think of the traps as apanion. Theyre not here to stab you in the back. They are fair to everyone.
I learned this from Lanuvel.
How?
Your stupidity makes me ufortable. Watch attentively.
Huh? Oh, okay
Overall, Hero Vs skills looked even worse than mine in the 1st round. Moreover, I couldnt use divine powers.
But I didnt hesitate. After all
Thats what it means to be a hero!
I had heroic determination. No other reasons were needed.
Chapter 353 - [23rd Round] True Hero
Chapter 353 - [23rd Round] True Hero
Ooooo!
Troooo!
Siegs active progress in the dungeon was interrupted when ogres and trolls periodically began to appear.
However, I boldly jumped into battle using Hero V anyway.
Of course, I had no intention ofmitting suicide. Before getting down to business, I carefully looked around.
The ceiling was low, and our surroundings were dark.
There could be dozens of traps here.
I could use bright lights to suddenly blind them or fire poison arrows from the shadows above us.
Or both at the same time.
Alternatively, I could easily crush the opponents by copsing the ceiling or installing a thin but very sharp thread in the passage where the enemys throat would most likely be. What would happen if he ran and identally collided against it was obvious
Besides
Hey, go check.
Kuku?!
I grabbed Passing Orc A by the neck and flung him in the direction where I suspected there might be a trap.
As a result, he was neatly cut like pork in a ughterhouse.
Three horizontal and four vertical des sliced his body apart.
Now that I saw the essence of the trap, everything became simple.
Behind me.
I ran to the de trap, which cut Orc A to pieces.
There might be more des since the traps were set diligently, but heroic improvisation could deal with such trivial variables.
Troooo?
Gwooooooh!
They were in no hurry to chase me. However, due to the monsters propping them up from behind, they had no choice but to move forward.
Not long after, they were cut into pieces.
The stronger ones among their ranks, such as the ogres, destroyed the traps, but there werent as many of them as the goblins and orcs.
Soon enough, my time came.
Bam! Bang! Boo!
I diligently delivered finishing blows to the monsters caught by the cunning mechanisms.
The experience distribution system was programmed to give the highest amount of experience points to the one who struck the decisive blow. In this case, however, they were distributed among all those participating in the battle.
If there was no one to share the experience points with, then everything went to me.
Poopu?!
I didnt give time for the orcs to recover. Within seconds, their heads were chopped off.
Umiagghh?!
The minotaur that rushed at me ducked but didnt see the de that was about to hit him at the back of his head.
Hoooooghhh!
Begone.
Gob?!
I threw a goblin away for trying to enter myfort zone, causing his body to be shed in half.
Moreover
Taunt E Taunt C
Recklessness F Recklessness B
Hunt B Hunt A
My proficiency and skill ranks were increasing pretty quickly.
If I kept hunting monsters like this, most of my skills would reach SS rank or higher within a year.
If only I knew that skills could rise above MAX-rank in my first round, I wouldve acted more efficiently.
There was no point in thinking about that now, though.
Woroooog
Trwoooo
The surviving monsters began to recover from their injuries.
Come at me.
I hoped they would entertain me a little more, so I wouldnt get lost in bitter memories.
***
Thanks to my trappanions sacrifice, I was able to clear more than half of the monsters in the dungeon.
I could have exterminated them all, but doing so became difficult because the monsters who feared me started spreading bad rumors.
As a result, the rest of them scattered away whenever they saw me.
Why were they doing that?
That wasnt fair.
Hey, Sieg.
Yes?
I showed you how to work with traps. Think you can do it?
I-I dont think so.
Haha! Dont worry and try it for yourself. Dont be afraid to make mistakes. If you lose a finger, Green Cake will sew it back on you. Just take care of your head and spine, and dont forget about your eyes. Oh! I almost forgot. If you want to date girls, take care of your groin too. Even the Saintesses have problems restoring one of mans most important organs
Hmmm! You seempletely morose. Youre a hero. Even if you lose a few of your fingers, thanks to your experience multiplier, your Resilience skill will increase dramatically. Soon, youll be able to ignore most traps. You are as much of a hero as I am, Sieg. You can handle it.
This is not how I imagined a hero should be
Sieg was in disarray.
Sighing, I lifted the troll guts that were on the ground.
Luckily, Trolls often left behind their blood and hearts when they returned to nature. Their tendons, skin, and bones less frequently remained.
Their guts and brains were the rarest, however.
Here you go.
What do I need it for? I know troll tendons are great material for a quality bowstring, but what are guts for?
They can be used as life jackets. Fill them with air and wrap them around your body.
Oh!
And they can also be used as boots in dungeons.
What?
You know that clothes are expendable, right? Suppose you dont know. If you find yourself in dire need of clothes due to yourst battle destroying the ones youre wearing, you can just pull troll intestines over your feet. They have good sticity, so they are much better than regr leather products.
That is too much
Siegs condition only worsened.
While I was teaching Sieg enthusiastically, Green Cake arrived, diligently collecting the remains of the monsters.
This is amazing. This is 23 times more than all the loot collected by Sir Sieg before. If you sell all this, youll gain impressive profits.
Hows that? We can just pay for weapon rentals while you have no Holy Sword. Good job.
Hehe
But its still too early to do the calctions. The boss of the dungeon is still alive, after all. Sieg will be the one to fight him. Give him a good beating, Hero.
If I dealt with the boss, it would be overkill.
Sieg should be the one to do it to ensure Disco wouldnt consider it over-intrusive.
That being said
Is there a problem?
No. Your wounds. Youre an android, not a human. An ordinary person wouldnt notice this, but my eyes cant be fooled.
Yes, my real body died long ago.
I didnt deny it but used a prepared answer instead.
It looks like I got a little scratched as I dodged the traps.
My wounds healed quick enough to not reveal my mechanical body, but it seemed that even that short interval was enough for her to notice.
Divine power was probably helping her observation.
Oh! No.
Disco was an employee of Monsoft, the leading android maker in the universe. It was only natural for her to be an expert in this field.
This is amazing. You move so well despite your cheap frame and drivetrain. Im thrilled.
Keep your cynicism to yourself.
Im praising you!
If you say so.
Your skills are impressive, but your personality leaves much to be desired.
Although sheined, she didnt seem to have revealed it to me.
Her gaze at Hero V was a little annoying, but it didnt matter.
I returned my attention to the topic at hand.
Sieg, as you can already see, I am a robot, so my strength has a limit. However, youre different. If you fully master my teachings, it will open up unlimited possibilities for you. That includes rtionships with girls.
Senior
Forward! Go and show the dungeon boss the determination of the True Hero!
Yes!
so, what are you still standing around here for?
Im looking for a guide for this boss in my monphone.
I see.
That, of course, wasnt the best way for training, but the day would surelye when Sieg would be able to cope without guides!
BOOM!
But that day was still far away.
Challenging the boss after reading a stupid guide, Sieg survived only thanks to the effect of his Male Strength skill, which had risen almost to the level of a God.
It was still pointless, though, since the dragon simply pinned him to the ground with his paw, never letting go of Sieg.
? Race: Bone Dragon
? Level: 999+
? Job: Celestial Lord of the Dead (Tomb Dead )
? Skills: Ghost Z, Skeleton Z, Strong Bones MAX, Curse MAX, ck Magic MAX
? Status: Dead, Rage, Void
Its skills had low ranks, but that didnt mean it was weak.
In the primary education course of the 4th curriculum, the Demon Lord was the only one who possessed two transcendental skills.
This is a very intense fight.
In what way?!
Disco disagreed with my analysis of the battle.
Almost a day has passed, but neither the dragon nor the Hero has given up.
Thats only because his skill wont let him die!
No, thats the reason why hell win.
This was a verymon urrence in manga and novels.
The protagonist was beaten so badly that he was about to lose, which gave readers a sense of tension, but then they would suddenly turn the tide of the battle.
It was hard to expect this in a real battle, but Sieg could do it.
Because
? Type: Skill
? Name: Male Strength
? Rank: ZZZ
? G:?
? ZZZ: Ability to pretend to be cool in front of women.
? ZZ: Ability to pretend to be innocent in front of women.
? Z: Possibility to pretend to be strong in front of women.
? SSS: Cannot be interrupted.
? SS: Fatigue is rendered nullified.
? S: Energy never runs out.
? A: Causes jealousy in men.
? B: Stimtes womens sense of taste.
? C: Stimtes womens sense of touch.
? D: Stimtes womens sense of smell.
? E: Stimtes womens sense of sight.
? F: Masculine energy increases.
Starting from its transcendental ranks, the skill owner received a boost simply by having a woman nearby.
And it wasnt just a pretense.
Sieg didnt pass out for hours because he was pretending to be strong. His entire body was torn apart ceaselessly, but he didnt die and continued to stand up anyway.
This situation wouldve been different if the Bone Dragon had highbat power, but the reality of it was that it couldnt finish him off.
However, it would end eventually.
Fortitude B Fortitude SS
Strength S Strength SSS
Recovery D Recovery A
Thanks to the Heros perk that granted him 500% experience gain, his skills ranked up rapidly.
Fortunately, it was a stupid, brainless dragon. Otherwise, it would have felt something was wrong and attacked us instead.
However, despite its opponents inability to die due to the women around him, it still focused all of its attention on him.
Green Cake, lets set up camp here and wait until Sieg achieves victory.
Yes, father elder brother!
We stayed in the same ce for way too long. I might have overestimated him.
Sieg, whose skills had grown steadily, was able to win only after struggling for 20 days.
Good job. Ive always believed my junior would win!
Senior! Can I start a proper rtionship now?! Sieg asked impatiently despite bing a little more mature.
That was funny.
If the boss hadntmitted suicide due to osteoporosis, you would never have won.
Listen carefully, Sieg. Youre still clearly not enough. Youre not a protagonist who grows stronger just by holding a womans hand.
Senior! Isnt that too harsh aparison? You treat me like a baby!
Apologize to all babies in the world for 20 whole days Hmm? Baby?
Whats the matter?
Nothing important. I seem to have forgotten something insignificant.
But one day, I would surely remember.
Chapter 354 - [23rd Round] Pet
Chapter 354 - [23rd Round] Pet
The adventure went smoothly.
Sieg became stronger without problems.
Briefly summarizing the current situation
I envy you.
Everything wouldve been different if I had a Z-rank teacher or senior taking care of me during my 1st round.
I couldve defeated Demon Lord Pedonar alone in 3 years instead of 10!
Sieg had the most favorable conditions.
Senior, Ill die at this rate Oh-oh!
Dont give up, junior. Beauties are rooting for you, activating the effects of your Male Strength.
I would like a little help
Ha! I give you all this experience. You should be grateful.
Well
Dont you want to be strong enough to start a rtionship with the girl you like? If you have time toin, you better defeat another monster. Beauties wont wait for you to get stronger and propose. They get to know others, get married and have children while you whine. Understood?
Yes
Siegined every day, testing my patience.
I tolerated it to ensure the inspections results would be positive, but I never wouldve done this under any other circumstances.
Was I too harsh on Sieg?
Nah.
He looked like me in the early days of my 1st round.
Of course, the reasons for our dissatisfaction were different.
I was kidnapped into another world, and it was demanded of me to risk my life to save myself.
Because of this, I constantly shed with Alex, the captain of the Dumpling Kingdoms Royal Knights.
You are very kind.
Is that sarcasm?
Its apliment! If I were in your ce, I would have spat on Sieg long ago for disobedience.
My swordsmanship teacher taught me this method, so I partly understand Siegs displeasure.
Is that so A kind of psychology of disgust?
Maybe.
However, I wasnt going to defend or try to understand Alexs barbaric teaching style.
There were only two options if my student was disobeying me and making me want to use violence.
Either give up the role of a teacher or give up the student.
That only meant we werent right for each other.
And that was exactly the situation with Sieg.
Ah Are you okay, big brother? The gaze you direct at Hero Sieg reminds me of my father.
Oh! Im fine.
Green Cake paid attention in time, thanks to which I was able to correct the expression on my face.
Calm down, Kang Han Soo. I just need to be patient
Kyu-kyu!
An animal screamed.
Its a rainbow fox.
It was a wild animal that wasnt ssified as a monster since they had males and females and could breed among themselves.
As they grew older, they developed seven tails corresponding to the seven colors of the rainbow, each of them providing them with an additional special power.
Kyu-kyu!
The one before us had a white body color, like a normal arctic fox, and a red tail. That was proof that it was young, plus the fact that it was smaller than a rabbit.
Youve grown attached to me, huh?
It jumped onto Siegs right shoulder.
Lucky for him.
Congrattions, Sieg. The wool of a rainbow foxs tail is very useful for crafting equipment since it increases the resistance property depending on the color. Its a pity it only has one tail, but there is a way out. Pull it out as hard as you can, and its rtives whod hear its howl wille running to help.
Um, senior?
Dont worry. This time, I will help you and try to get as much fur from the tails of the rainbow foxes as possible.
No. Thats not what I mean I want to raise this fox.
Raise? What kind of stupid decision is that?
Itll be my pet!
I didnt quite understand what he wanted to happen.
I looked at his dummies for their opinion.
I have always respected your opinion, but this time I agree with Hero Sieg.
Ah big brother, its a really cute creature.
She doesnt look like a bad fox. Shes so cute.
Kyu-kyu!
It looked like all the dummies thought it would be better to raise it.
Stroking its head, Sieg said, Ill give you a name. What do you say?
Kyu-kyu!
Kyurie.
Kyu~
The little cub happily shook its red tail.
Sieg immediately began to boast.
There are things that I do better than my senior. I think my tamer skill is much higher.
Oh What the hell is this guy saying?
Did this F-rank Hero really just challenge and taunt the Z-Rank Hero?
I checked some information through the monphone. Their sixth tail grants her the power of transformation.
Do you want to raise it so you can turn it into a human?
To an elf!
Kyurie will be a very cute elf, wont you, Kyurie?
Kyu-kyu? Kyu-kyu!
Disco smiled bitterly.
It is worth admitting that Hero Sieg is good in this regard. The rainbow fox is known for being alert, which makes them difficult to tame.
Yes. I do not doubt my big brothers skills, but dare I say that Hero Sieg is quite adept at taming.
Even Green Cake agreed cautiously.
Im surprised too. Who wouldve thought this noble creature would be attached to such a waste
Even the elf!
I again looked at the fox sitting on Siegs shoulder.
Our eyes met
Kyu-kyu?
Wait for a moment, Sieg. I will tame and show you a better pet.
Calm down, Kang Han Soo.
I was now Hero V. I shouldnt betray my current identity by demonstrating my skills where I shouldnt.
I doubt it!
Kyu-kyu!
Did those two just taunt me?
I was especially annoyed by this fox, assenting to its owner
? Plea: Please spare her. The rainbow fox cub is specially trained for student Siegs unstable psychology. He needs a friend outside of the Heros party. It goes without saying that Sieg has no talent for taming.
Sociology Teacher?
? Confirmation: Yes. Dont misunderstand me. The reason why all the teachers, myself included, followed Parmael was because of her social status. This is also the case with the current director, Ssosiel. Since Director Ssosiel and Vice-principal Parker Lee have shown us mercy, Ive decided to once again improve the students social skills as their sociology teacher.
That was understandable.
But what about the fact that Sieg had no talent for taming?
? Exnation: I have many animals and monsters, but among them, there isnt a single suitable pet for him. As you might have recently heard, he wants to raise her because of her sixth tail. Themon rainbow fox is sensitive to such dirty thoughts, and she never wouldve followed him, but I trained her exceptionally well for this. Please dont kill or drive her out.
Considering that Sociology Teacher showed himself just to tell me not to kill it, I immediately understood how difficult it was to train it.
I promised not to touch it.
? Thanks: Thank you. Then Ill take my leave. There are many more students who need pets. Good luck to you.
After that, Sociology Teacher left.
Did he also try to set me up with pets in the past?
I remembered how surprised I was whenever rare animals and monsters followed me.
That aside
Sieg,e with me. Ill show you a better pet.
Alright. Show me what youve got.
Kyu-kyu.
Sieg stroked his pet, which wagged its tail contentedly.
What creature on the Southern Continent would everyone consider a much rarer and better pet than the rainbow fox?
I knew one.
***
Just a few years ago, teachers destroyed Shadow A and her daughters hideout.
And now, the Temple of the Great Child was built on these ruins to honor the Giant Empires state religion.
Before theirrge-scale project to reimnd, this temple was the center of the Southern Continent. However, the center was now just a small piece of driednd to the right of it.
Desertification.
Its scale was so inconsequential even the Giant King didnt pay attention to it, but I was different.
This wasnt a natural phenomenon, after all.
A trading city was also built on this site.
Come and check out my goods!
Everythings cheap!
Its taste is amazing!
How much is it?
The city was located at the intersection of important trade routes, so trade was quite lively here.
Youre not nning on buying a pet, are you, senior? Sieg taunted.
Of course not.
I was heading for the city center.
Because of the incredible coolness in the middle of the desert, this piece ofnd was worth ten times the price of other ces.
And there were gorgeous hot springs everywhere.
Stop. We ept clients by appointment only. If you have not reserved your seats, even if you are a member of the royal family, youre not allowed to enter
We are heroes.
Oh! Please wait for a moment!
Excusing herself, the half-naked elf who guarded the entrance disappeared for a moment.
Soon after
Half-naked men and women with only the most important parts of their bodies covered met us, forming a line on our nks.
The elf, who stood in the center of it, then greeted us, We sincerely wee the heroes in the most heavenly ce in all of Fantasy!
We were then separated by gender.
Hero V and Sieg followed the women to the mens bathhouse, and the dummies followed the men to the womens bathhouse.
Where are you going, senior? Sieg asked, showing off his muscr body in front of the elves, which was nothing like his body when he was just newly summoned.
I waved it off, answering, To the toilet.
Ah!
You can go ahead and wash yourself down in the shower first.
Alright.
After parting with Sieg, I clicked my tongue, checking the internal structure of the hot springs.
Nothings changed.
If so, a lizard would still be spying on the heroes.
I stopped in a certain ce and sharply extended my right hand to the wall, but it wasnt destroyed.
It was an illusion, after all.
With my fingertips, I grabbed someones neck between their 6th and 7th vertebrae.
Kh?!
Retracting my hand, a beautiful girl with white hair entered my sight.
Leaning so close that she could feel my breath. I greeted her politely, Hi, Sleloli.
My name is Ice Dragon Sleas, Hero!
Starting today, you will be my pet.
Ha! What is this ridiculous H-hik?!
Any problems? I asked her as I red at her.
N-no Kh!
Good.
I was the Z-rank Hero.
From the very first round, I no longer needed Sociology Teachers help.
? Consent: You have very impressive social interaction skills
Heh! Anyway, it was time to show Sieg my new pet.
Chapter 355 - [23rd Round] Kiss~ Juju!
Chapter 355 - [23rd Round] Kiss~ Juju!
Senior,e quickly. Oh! This is truly heaven on Fantasy Hmm?
Sieg, I want you to meet my pet, Sleloli. She can even speak.
Greetings, Hero.
Huh?
Sieg, enveloped in hot white steam, couldnt even answer properly.
The rainbow fox sitting on Siegs head shrank too.
That was as expected.
Their power was nothingpared to hers.
Of course, once the rainbow fox had grown all of its seven tails, it would be able topete against dragons, but my pet Sleloli was the leader of the white dragons.
A one-tailed fox was like dust in the backgroundpared to it.
Senior
Yes?
This is a joke, right? Did you really ask Sleas, the Ice Dragon King, to pretend to be your pet?
You wont believe me even if I deny it, so what if I just give Sleloli some absurd order?
Then let her kiss me on the cheek ahem! said Sieg, turning his cheek in her direction.
I looked behind me, finding Slelolis distorted expression, and said, Didnt you hear? The Acting Hero is asking for a kiss. For the cause.
If that is what you desire.
She took off her clothes that covered a figure that couldnt be called a little girls and went into the water.
Due to the steam, it became impossible to properly see her naked body, but her silhouette alone delighted Sieg.
Ah
Drooling as Sleloli approached him, he couldnt utter even a single word.
Kyu-kyu!
Siegs pet squeaked pitifully, seemingly expressing its jealousy.
However, its owner had already entered a trance.
Sleloli put both hands on his shoulders as soon as she reached him.
It will be a kiss youll never be able to forget until the end of your days, Hero.
Oh, well Um!
Smack!
Their lips met.
At that moment, the illusion, caused by the Ice Dragon King Sleass main skill, disappeared.
The beautiful girl who stole the lips of F-rank Hero Sieg with relish quickly turned into a two-legged pig.
Or, more simply, an orc.
Naturally, it was a male.
His eyes widened, sensing that the kiss was strange.
Mmm?!
His face, which had recently turned red from the heat, was immediately dyed blue.
He began iling his arms, trying to escape the monster. However, having foreseen this, the orc tightly squeezing Siegs shoulders to prevent him from escaping.
Kuku!
As promised, he would never forget this kiss.
He struggled to get out of its tight grip, unable to pull himself together properly due to his panic.
Oooh?!
Juju!
It was a pity that I saw the scene only from the back of my pet.
***
Hero Sieg squatted in the corner of the mens locker room, crying.
It seemed that even hiscrimal nds were shocked by this experience.
Get dressed already, Sieg.
I dont want to live anymore Whimper!
Come on! Dont kill yourself over some orc. I even had to kiss stupid fish and chickens before. You dont even want to know how that felt.
Vile mermaids and harpies.
It was a feeling so terrible I thought I contracted stupidity from them.
Ah! Really?
You just had to believe me. Do you see what this led to? To a passionate kiss with an orc~
Bue!
Remembering this moment, Sieg cringed.
Sleloli, reassuming her beautiful girl form, frowned.
I was forced to kiss you, so I should be the one feeling unpleasant here! Whys the Hero the one acting so upset?!
Thats just how Sieg is.
He liked kissing a dragon that could freely change sex but kissing an orc disgusted him.
How despicable.
Kyu-kyu.
Yes, yes. I can handle this. Whimper! Thank you so much for your concern, Kyurie. Whimper!
Thanks to the rainbow foxsforting actions, he managed to pull himself together.
Sociology Teacher did his job.
We soon gathered in a shared sauna.
Although his face was swollen from tears, we didnt encounter any additional problems.
You dont look well, Hero Sieg.
Its better not to challenge your big brother.
These hot springs are delightful. I dont know if Ill be forgiven for resting here while His Majesty is struggling with an illness
This little rest seemed to have pleased the females of our party.
Us males didnt feel the same excitement, though. Sieg couldnt forget his kiss with an orc, and the hot springs were just hot water for Hero Vs body.
This lizard is my pet, Sleloli.
Greetings. I am Sleloli, previously known as Sleas the King of the Ice Dragons, a few hours ago
Shecked training.
Cant you say hello more cheerfully?
Im Sleloli! Nice to meet you!
Thats a little better.
At that point, our senselesspetition ended, and the time hade for us to discuss the next steps while enjoying the sauna.
Ugh
How nice
Ah
No one took the initiative, expecting Hero V to make the schedule as before.
So I did.
Your ipetence pissed me off, Hero Sieg, so I concluded you should get the Holy Sword as soon as possible. From here on out, our goal is the Moncoin. Well pray from the sidelines that you make it safely through Giant King Phoenixs trials. Any objections?
Yes
What is it this time, junior?
I have not yet learned how to tame a dragon as a pet! I am not giving up on the Holy Sword, but isnt it too early for me to chase after it?
Hmm
Looked like he had grown jealous of my pet Sleloli.
He had just recently bragged about his pet, but as soon as he saw that mine was better, he immediately desired the same.
Kyu-kyu
The rainbow fox looked sad.
Did he not feel sorry for his pet at all?
Hero Sieg, I dont mean to interfere, but let me give you a piece of advice, Disco said. Please cherish your pet. Pets suffer when their owners do not love and care for them.
During our first meeting, she proudly introduced herself as the pet of Monsofts CEO.
How great was he to be able to turn a deity into a pet?
I wanted to meet him one day.
I apologize, Miss Distoria. Forgive me as well, my friend.
Kyu-kyu.
After Siegs worthless apology, I disclosed our next course of action.
Well rest today. Tomorrow, youll all have to move on without me. Dont worry. Ill tell you where the dungeon you need to go is.
Youre noting? Disco asked, clearly surprised.
Is there a problem with that?
No. I thought you were programmed to help heroes. I didnt expect you to be so independent.
Im not just some pathetic code.
Oh! Sorry.
As I was saying, you can rest today, and tomorrow youll have to go to the Medusa den. And you, my impatient junior, can take your time with your pet. A beautifuldy will abandon you after a year of missing you, but dragons will wait for you even after a hundred years.
I wasnt kidding.
Lonely reptiles were scattered throughout Fantasy.
Their ability to transform into humans andmunicate verbally definitely served as their advantage, but they didnt change the fact that they were still reptiles.
Really? Sieg asked.
Listen carefully, incredulous junior. Any dragon can be tamed as a pet, but Ill give you a list of some of the more useful ones.
Wow!
Lolicoste, the Fire Dragon King from the Northern Continent, turns into a boy to seduce women who have reached marriageable age. Amsteloli, the ck Dragon King from the Western Continent, has a hobby of seducing nice guys in the form of a beautiful young girl. Sleloli, the Ice Dragon King from the Southern Continent, my current pet, uses the image of a beautiful girl to lure heroes into herir and turn them into her ves. Lolimania, the Divine Dragon King from the Western Continent, takes on a youthful appearance and uses her believers for her own purposes. Lolitron, the King of the Wyverns from the Sea of Death, has the noble hobby of keeping and raising heroes on his ind. Crownloli, the Sea Dragon King living in endless waters, knows no match when ites to its expertise with tentacles. These are all second-ss pets. The first-ss ones are too tough for you, and I dont rmend the third-ss ones because of their poor quality.
It seems you have no questions.
The next day, I sent Hero Sieg and his dummies to the Medusa den.
It would be a good workout for the beauty lover.
As for me
Sleloli, I have a task for you.
Are you going to let me go Kh?!
Shut up and listen carefully. Invite the Saintess from the Temple of the Great Child here. Tell her shell learn of her missing mothers whereabouts if shees to ensure her cooperation.
Alright.
Just as I had nned, Thief E, who became the Saintess of the Southern Continent, visited the hot springs out of her concern about Shadow As fate, who now spent every day in her pathetic husbands arms.
With a serious expression on her face, she asked me, Do you really know where my mother is, Ancient Hero?
Thief E was considered the most beautiful among purebred elves.
Should I call her Saintess E from now on?
Anyway, she boasted the same attractive body as the most prominent beauties of the human race.
I replied politely, Rx for today. Well discuss everything tomorrow morning.
Alright, but the very idea of using hot springs
Is there a problem?
Oh, uh, n-no.
Then have a good rest. Well talk tomorrow.
Okay. Thank you.
I went to the room reserved for Saintess E and left my pet with instructions.
When the Saint changes into pajamas and falls asleep, bring me her pads. She treats them dearer than her own life, so shell most likely hide them under her pillow.
Pads?
Sleloli looked confused, her voice telling me she didnt understand what my motives were.
She didnt need to know such details.
You will never understand the sadness of those who do not have them. Just do as youre told.
Okay.
All rules could be circumvented.
Even if I didnt have a Holy Sword, there were many ways to recruit a Saintess.
One of those methods was what I executed now.
The morning that followed was pleasant.
However, Saintess E, who wanted to inquire about her mothers whereabouts, didnte to meet me and instead remained in her bedroom.
Naturally, the reason was
Knocking on her bedroom door, I politely said, Iming in.
Ah! Wait a minute!
I saw her wrapped in a nket as soon as I entered, treating it like a cocoon.
Sitting on the sofa, I took out her pads.
I want to sell you these.
Those are
Do you recognize them? You dont want the awful truth about the beautiful Saintess deceiving everyone to be revealed, do you?
No.
Haha! I thought so. In that case, Ill sell them to you for only 50 billion gold coins.
50 billion?!
Dont worry. You can pay with your life for it. I wont even charge interest.
You are a real demon
No, Im a human.
Hero Vs race indicated that.
Chapter 356 - [23rd Round] The Power of Friendship ++
Chapter 356 - [23rd Round] The Power of Friendship ++
Medusa.
During the 4th curriculum, the entire Southern Continent turned into a huge desert, so these monsters were numerous then.
However, at present, the desert upied only a small part of it. The habitat of the Medusas were limited, which led to a decrease in the number of individuals. Although ording to thews of nature, a decrease in quantity led to an increase in quality.
Hence, Hero Sieg sessfullypleted his task and returned to the hot springs
Meeeeee~
With a tamed Medusa.
Medusa usually lured travelers and other monsters by pretending to be a naked beauty stuck in the sand.
The upper part of her body was human, and the lower part was serpentine.
However, her body structure that mimicked the female figure waspletely different from humans.
For example, what looked like her breasts were actually humps where fat was stored, like those of camels.
Im back.
Sieg did well.
He even tamed a monster
The dummies praised him, and he even said his achievements were surprisingly great himself.
That indeed seemed to be the case.
After all, if it werent expected from a person, even small achievements would appear tremendous.
It was a simple method that Sieg used in the olden days.
He raised his reputation among the locals by dering, I did everything in my power! Although he actually only killed a couple of weak monsters.
I didnt like this approach.
However, Disco seemed to appreciate it well, so I decided not to dwell on it.
Senior, look!
Meeee~
I tamed a Medusa!
Kyu-kyu!
Sieg, who had lost confidence in himself, was again in high spirits.
And this time, he justmunicated that fact without trying to challenge me.
It looked like he had learned his lesson.
However, I was a little surprised. Although the Medusa was a mount, it was difficult to control without the use of special reins.
But he had her under hismand.
That wasmendable.
? Joy: Its good that student Sieg regained his confidence.
You again?
? Question: Isnt that obvious? You didnt think he tamed her on his own, did you?
Sociology Teacher allegedly gave him another pet.
? Denial: Thats only partially true. I led him to the Medusa, but it was his high-ranking Male Strength that attracted her. Otherwise, he wouldnt have been able to rule her without the reins.
That meant he still achieved something on his own.
? Confirmation: Yes. Oh, and one more thing. Please do not use your tamed dragon as a vehicle. Itll make him depressed again.
After that, Sociology Teacher left.
Using Sleloli as a means of transportation?
I could do that. It was great that Sieg had tamed a Medusa, but he was still nothingpared to me, who could ride a dragon.
Regardless, I still had no intention of using Sleloli as a mount.
I only needed her to teach my arrogant junior a lesson.
I smiled and greeted him.
Good job, Sieg.
Haha! Thanks!
And I have anotherpanion for you.
Companion? A man?
Of course, he was more interested in her gender thanbat power
Restraining myself, I replied, A woman.
Wow! Is she beautiful?
Shes a saintess.
Ah?!
It didnt turn out the way I nned, considering there were only women in his party now.
Green Cake and Sleloli were asexual dragons, but they currently looked like a female elf and a beautiful girl.
And now a saintess had joined as well.
Greetings, Sir Sieg. I didnt think we would meet again under such circumstances. I wanted to join you after youve retrieved Moncoin, but the Ancient Hero insisted that I help you a little earlier than that.
Wee!
Kyu-kyu!
Sieg immediately began to drool.
Discos expression distorted, but my stupid junior didnt notice.
This wasnt good.
I should only invite malepanions next time. The current number of women in the party should also be reduced.
And there was no better time to do that than now.
Sleloli, turn into a man.
Uh Alright.
To begin with, I ordered my pet to switch genders.
Sleloli instantly transformed into a white-haired boy in white clothes.
Green Cake wasnt a dragon at the moment.
In the scenario, he used a race and gender that matched the tastes of the summoned Hero. Therefore, he had to remain an elf.
But there was also a real elf among hispanions.
Every meeting muste to an end. Youve done well, miss elf. If we meet again, Ill treat you to something.
This is all very sudden. Did I do something to offend you, or did I make a mistake? I really like you, Hero, even though I heard youre only some sort of golem.
Hmm. Weird. Why was she so attached to me?
I didnt even remember touching her spine or pelvis.
In any case
Its not your fault. However, with a woman as attractive as you next to Hero Sieg, we wont be able to normally move forward.
Sieg
Do you understand now?
Youre so insensitive. Is it because you are a golem?
No. Thats because I am a hero.
The adventure of the Righteous Hero wouldnt beplete if it didnt include sacrifice.
May the blessing of the Great Child be with you.
I pray you meet a good man. Mon.
I didnt know if she could find such a person before this world copsed, but I sincerely prayed for it anyway.
With those two things gone, I had minimized Siegs distractions.
Now we had three guys and three girls in our party.
Disco couldnt be expelled since she was the one conducting the inspection, and the Hero needed the Saintess throughout his adventure.
Three girls were the lowest I could go.
However, it was much better than when there were five of them and only two of us men.
Ah
The elf leaving his party made him feel disappointed, which was all the proof I needed to conclude I made the right decision.
Sieg! Every meeting muste to an end!
I just envy your determination, senior. Without hesitation, you kicked out that beauty from our party and recruited Saintess Illeana.
I am a hero, after all.
Hero, huh I didnt know heroes are so versatile
Then you dont know anything. The hero must be good at everything. Those who rely on theirpanions for help are nothing but scums.
Oh
but Ill add a little power of friendship to your adventure.
He would never get to the Demon Lord otherwise.
The process itself was important, but one shouldnt ignore the results either.
I patted Siegs spine No, I patted his back as I spoke to him.
Lets find some outstanding men for your party, Sieg.
Okay Huh?
***
I paired Sieg only with the best of the best.
It wasnt easy, but just like Saintess E, everyone had their own weaknesses, so I still got them to readily agree.
Sword God Alex (married man)
White Chicken (married woman)
Mercenary King (widowed)
Elf Prince Nasus (married man)
Magic Swordsman Aries (married woman)
Bandit King (harem)
Many people had gathered.
Although there were couples among them, they would be of great help in Siegs psychological training to master yin and yang bnce.
I introduced them, starting from the Sword God.
I have to pay a lot of attention to my beloved wife, so dont expect too much, Hero.
Greetings! Im Alexs wife, White Chicken! I dont know if Ill be able to help you since I have no hands, but if theres anything I can do for you, please let me know!
The Snow Woman happily waved her hands at us.
Of course, youd be of great help! The fact that youre near me already helps me. I will cut anyone who disagrees into pieces.
Our long walks making my legs hurt badly, Alex.
Ah! Sit on my back. Im sorry I didnt notice. Ill give you a foot massageter.
Hehe Youre the best, Alex.
Ahem! Please say it again.
Our long walks making my legs hurt badly, Alex.
No. The sentence after that.
Youre the best, Alex.
Ahem, ahem!
He was the most powerful member of our party.
I had to travel to the Central Continent and lure the Snow Woman to make Alex join us.
Naturally, I couldnt reveal my identity.
Next was the Mercenary King.
Nice to meet you.
He wasnt in the best mood, so I decided to leave him be.
I first obtained the remains of his wife, whom he was looking for, then convinced him to join the party using it.
I already used this method during my 1st round.
I paid him this time, however, putting him in a better mood. He was also now indebted to me.
Next
Meeting you is a great honor. I am Prince Nasus, and Ill be joining you throughout your journey on behalf of the Elf Empire. This charming woman is Aries, my bodyguard.
Im Aries. I also help him cope with a bad habit that he inherited from His Majesty.
Aries!
Please excuse where Prince Nasuss hand is now.
Oh! This is embarrassing!
But dont worry. He is not allowed to touch the breasts of other women.
I-it happened by ident! Please believe me!
Prince Nasus, unfortunately, hadnt changed for the better despite already having transitioned to the 4th curriculum.
His wife and bodyguard, Aries, came with him to suppress his desires.
Prince Nasuss goal was to surpass his younger sister, Princess Sylvia, and solidify his position as sessor to Elfheim, the pathetic Elf King.
He wasnt like that before, but Elfheim had a bad influence on him.
Lastly
Since I owe my life to Boss Green Cake, I immediately agreed to help! Oh! Ignore the two beauties next to me. For the sake of decency, they will at least greet you.
Greetings, I am Shusha, the ninth wife of the Bandit King.
Nice to meet you. Like her, I am the wife of the Bandit King. You can call me Catherine.
Hahaha! Ill be in your care, Boss Green Cake and Hero Sieg!
The Bandit King was apanied by two of his wives, who were already with him even during the 4th curriculum.
Of course, they werent his only spouses. His hideout was filled with other beauties.
Most of them were ageless, half-blooded elves.
Hey, Sieg.
Yes?
Say something to thepanions who have gathered here to help you.
Oh yes.
I looked at everyone who gathered before us, from the Sword God with the Snow Woman on his back to the Elf Prince Nasus, who squeezed Ariessrge breasts.
But instead of speaking out, Sieg burst into tears.
Are you that impressed?
Ugh
Heh! I know youre touched, but this is just my way of helping my junior.
I put in a lot of effort to bring everyone together.
If there were too many men, the adventure would be too dull, so I added women as well.
My stupid junior was unlikely to appreciate my kindness, however.
Crying, Sieg said, I must be in hell.
What?
Before him was the power of friendship that he loved so much. I just added a pinch of the power of love to it.
He was a truly ungrateful FFF-ranked Hero.
I was about to teach him another lesson, but Alex beat me to it.
Did you just call this party hell after my wife joined it?
H-hik?!
Holding the Snow Womans buttocks with his left hand, the Sword God picked up Sieg by his cor with his right hand, raising him off the ground as he growled, If I see you staring at my beloved wife lustfully again, I will show you the true meaning of hell!
Kh! Im s-sorry!
Bear that in mind if you dont want me to slice you apart with my sword before you can even meet the cowardly Demon Lord.
Yes! Yes!
It looked like Siegs adventure was going to be great.
Chapter 357 - [23rd Round] The Giant King’s Homework
Chapter 357 - [23rd Round] The Giant Kings Homework
The ultimate goal of the Fantasy Institution was to defeat Demon Lord Parmamon for world peace.
However, when it transitioned from its 4th to 5th curriculum, chaos and war became rare guests in the world of Fantasy.
The biggest reason for that was Pedonars disappearance 2,000 years ago after being defeated by the Great Hero. Since then, the number of demons and their followers has been steadily declining. However, we now face an even greater threat. The person who defeated Pedonar became the very being he had sworn to destroy! I cant even begin to imagine how strong he has be, exined Saintess E.
My wife and I were in his party 2,000 years ago. A trap caught Snow Woman, and I went to rescue her. That prevented us from witnessing their final battle. Regardless, I can say, with absolute confidence, that his power is immense. Moreover, even his wisdom and cunning areparable to his strength. As a hero, he possessed charm, charisma, determination, and vigor Its difficult to find fields where he wouldnt excel at, added Sword God Alex.
Listening to their words, Sieg then asked, Who will be stronger if you fight him now, sir Alex?
You mean the Demon Lord?
Yeah.
Theres no point in talking about it. I cannot fight him. If I go into battle, my wife will be the first to suffer.
And if you do fight?
There will be no such thing. Until he touches Snow Woman, I will never show any hostility towards the Demon Lord. Alex replied with an evident frown.
But Sieg didnt give up that easily.
What if you took Lady Snow Woman to safety shortly before the final battle?
Youre stubborn.
Thats just the way I am.
5 seconds.
5 seconds?
Thats how long I can hold out against Demon Lord Parmamon using all my might and skills.
But youre so powerful Sieg said, looking at the mountains upon mountains of monster corpses around them.
While camping, Snow Woman started fidgeting in her sleeping bag, saying, Alex, I cant sleep. Its too noisy here. Hence, Alex dealt with all the monsters in the area.
Their size, strength, numbers, and skills didnt matter. Before his sword, all monsters were equal.
Im not as strong as you think, Hero.
Really?
Shakespeare, the Great Sage of the Western Continent, can erase any continent in an instant with the flick of his finger. Im not even exaggerating. Phoenix, the Giant King of the Southern Continent, exceeds my physical capabilities by about a hundred folds.
Then there is the godlike child who crushed him in a second with just his buttocks. Finally, Noebius, the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion of the Central Continent, is a being so powerful even Demon Lord Parmamon avoids confrontation with him.
It is now clear why this world hasnt yet been destroyed.
Sieg was shocked.
Hey! Alex, why are you scaring my junior so much?
Not noticing the Heros reaction, the Sword God didnt stop.
Just as I remain neutral to protect my beloved Snow Woman, they remain neutral to protect what is dear to them. Great Sage Shakespeare treasures his wife, the epitome of beauty of the Western Continent, and the Supreme Dragon Noebius treasures Erdanti, the Divine Dragon Queen. Giant King Phoenix is quite ambitious, but he behaves himself out of his fear of the Great Child, whos now the revered deity of a religion widespread on the Southern Continent and opposed Mons Teachings, which dominates the Northern and Western Continents.
The bnce they created is amazing.
And it has been maintained for 2,000 years.
Ive never heard anything like it.
He meant he had never seen such information in his monphone.
No Hero had managed to recruit Sword God Alex as theirpanion yet.
More urately, no one was going to.
Because none of them wanted to take his armless wife into their party only to watch their love drama unfold every day.
Im d you know now. Therefore, Hero Sieg, it is you who must be stronger, not me.
Can I really be that powerful?
He did.
The Demon Lord?
Yes. He worked seven days a week. He didnt even pay attention to my beautiful wife and instead focused everything he had on making every effort to establish peace and save mankind. He was a real madman in this regard, Alex said, slicing a jerky and feeding it to Snow Woman, whoined that she was hungry.
Was he single like me?
No.
No?
His wife was the second most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Even the ruler of the Empire of Eternal Night, considered the epitome of beauty on the Western Continent, is no match against her. Oh! Of course, my wife is the most beautiful for me.
Snow Woman had notoriously brainwashed him.
How could that stupid bird be the best and most beautiful among all females?
It sounded as ridiculous as could be!
From the Righteous Heros objective perspective, the most beautiful being to ever exist was Trainee Teacher.
That much was undeniable.
Any more questions, Hero?
You know quite a lot, Sir Alex.
I made good connections throughout Fantasy back in the day, so its not that surprising.
Wow
If I were Sieg, I would have made the information public immediately via the monphone, but he didnt even seem to have the desire to share it with others.
That was typical of him.
Hmm. Let me ask you a question, Sir Alex.
Im listening, Miss Distoria.
Do you think theres a way to defeat the current Demon Lord?
Thats hard to say. I know about everything that happened before Parmanon awakened until his castle copsed and a huge tower was erected in its ce. I dont know much after that. However, Im certain that he cant be easily defeated.
I see
I see no hope Sieg muttered.
He diligently scanned through the monphonemunity.
?Sieg: Junior Sieg asks the seniors for help. I need a strategy to fight Demon Lord Parmamon. Any details are important.
?Odin: Wow! Junior Sieg! We havent seen you in so long. I have not personally met the Demon Lord Parmamon since I was stopped on the 10th floor of his tower. Fallen Elf Hero Silerions swordsmanship is just too insanely powerful.
?Ah: I left the 10th floor to mypanions and broke through further. On the 20th floor, I found Silerions wife, also known as Elfheims younger sister. She waspletely immune to magic. I couldnt go further.
?Zeus: Guys, is it even possible to graduate? I got to the 30th floor. I wont be sharing the strategy I used for the lower floors, but on the 30th floor, I ran into Boris, the strongest golem Ive ever faced. He is practically invincible.
?Isis: Hi. I am the student council president of secondary education. I see you are sharing interesting information here. Perhaps I will join. For reference, I was stopped on the 40th floor.
The more he read on, the more Siegs expression worsened and darkened.
The reason was simple.
Luke: Is that information about the 40th-floor boss true?
?Reina: Wow! It ignores stats?
?Robin: I still wont give up.
?Lucia: Even the 10th floor is already too hard
The difficulty level of the tower bosses was too high.
However, a few senior students managed to reach the 40th floor, which made it evident that clearing it wasnt impossible.
Disco also nced at Siegs Monphone.
At that moment
?Satan: I am currently on the 70th floor. I am ready to share information. 50th floor - intermediate recreation area. 60th floor - fallen angel Potato. 70th floor - Former Demon Lord Pedonar.
The advanced student named Satan was a pioneer who surpassed all others.
A whopping 70 floors.
Ssosiel apparently added bosses without telling me and even used the image of her father, which I didnt think shed be capable of.
Hmmm. Was that my cowardly wifes way of passive-aggressively getting?
Reading Satans message, Sieg smiled. No Hero has fought the Demon Lord yet, but it looks like I have a chance. Theres a senior student whos already reached the 70th floor.
A chance?
100th floor was most likely the end of the tower.
He wanted to challenge the Demon Lord simply because someone had reached the 70th floor, which wasnt even near the top?
He seemed to have lost his sense of reality.
Dont worry so much, senior. Our party is extremely powerful.
I know. Im the one who recruited them all, after all.
But I was the one who brought you to our squad! Based on that, we canbel this as my merit!
That wasnt right either.
I volunteered to join his party because of the ongoing inspection.
But now wasnt the time to argue with him. Doing so would only cause Disco to grow suspicious of me.
Calm down, Kang Han Soo.
Okay, Sieg. It looks like youve gathered quite a bit of new information through your monphone. What are you nning to do next?
Based on my seniors information, the 10th-floor boss is a fallen Elf Hero. The problem is that hes using an ancient Holy Sword. I can only fight against a Holy Sword with the help of another Holy Sword. That means
Sieg unmistakablyid out the intel he had gathered.
But he made it look like he came up with the n himself.
Oh. I need to stay calm.
If Disco gave him a positive assessment, everything would be fine.
Gathering information is also a skill. And your ability to collect suchpanions, even if its a lucky coincidence, is also impressive.
Disco, considered strict, unexpectedly praised him.
I felt a little relieved.
After getting my hands on Moncoin, I will conquer the Demon Lords Tower! Sieg arrogantly shouted.
Kyu-kyu!
Now that I had decided to step back a bit and watch from the sidelines, I wanted to say something to my stupid junior.
We all had a n.
***
Glory to the Great Child!
It took as long as nine years, which was due to Giant King Phoenixs bad mood. It made him give Hero Sieg a test that consisted of a number of impossible tasks.
Sieg needed to:
1) Win the culinary contest.
2) Win the marathon.
3) Win the fishingpetition.
4) Win the food-eating contest.
5) Be the champion of the arena.
6) Win the swimmingpetition.
However, the culinary contest used a huge frying pan that could easily fit even a full-grown human.
The marathon stretched along most of the coast of the Southern Continent.
The fishingpetition was unwinnable unless he used ogres as bait.
The food-eating contest pitted him against giants whose stomachs were about 100 times the size of humans.
The arena became much harder to conquer due to the difference between his and his opponents weight categories.
The swimmingpetition had had giants participating. They treated the vast ocean like a pool.
Ugh
Well done, Sieg.
The most difficult of them all was the food-eating contest.
Because even if he ate as fast as giants, the amount of food that could fit in a persons stomach was minuscule inparison.
Nevertheless, Sieg did it.
Of course, this wouldnt have been possible without the help of Fantasy skills that defied thews of physics.
? Race: Elfish Human
? Level: 999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Male Energy ZZZ, Evasion ZZ, Endurance ZZ, Gluttony ZZ, Fishing Z, Running Z, Small Z, Friendship Z, Sword Mastery Z, Cooking Z, Swimming Z, Fortitude MAX
? Status: Joy, Overate, Holy Sword
Hmm! Not bad.
Giant King Phoenix handed over the Holy Sword that he was keeping.
The Holy Sword of Giants, Moncoin.
The Hero could freely change the size and shape of its de.
And it was nigh-unbreakable.
The Holy Swords, protected by the Fantasy system, could never be destroyed through conventional weapons or means.
At least in the Fantasy dimension.
Raising Holy Sword Moncoin above his head, Sieg roared, Lets go to the Tower of the Demon Lord!
Hey, Sieg.
What is it, senior?
Your sphincters ruptured. Either clog it off with something or seek proper medical attention for it.
What? Oh
Hero Siegs adventure resumed a year after the rehabilitation of the sphincter.
We finally reached the Demon Lords Tower!
I didnt expect much from Sieg, but I assumed he would make it to at least the 30th floor.
What would the oue of his journey be?
Chapter 358 - [24th Round] Demon Lord Parmamon
Chapter 358 - [24th Round] Demon Lord Parmamon
Once their character has reached level 999 in an RPG, yers tend to ignore the traps in low-level zones since the damage would be negligible even if they activated them.
Avoiding them was a waste of time and effort, so they fought their way through them instead, even at the cost of being damaged.
But those were just games.
This is too much
I had endured it for ten years, but now my psyche had cracked.
Did I really just stay calm for an entire decade for this?
S-senior save kha
Sieg, buried from head to toe with arrows, stretched out his hand in my direction, begging for help.
No matter how I looked at it, such death was too absurd.
Kyu-kyu His rainbow fox, which had already grown four tails, whimpered.
Demon Lords Tower: 1st Floor.
That was where Sieg died.
He wasnt even hit by some powerful adversary.
He was just careless because he was on the 1st floor, which the guides didnt even care to mention, andpletely ignored the arrow traps.
It wasnt that the arrows were flying too fast or that they were poisoned.
In fact, they corresponded to the level of the first floor.
That was why he decided to take all the damage.
And this was the result.
At first, they were all ordinary arrows, but somewhere around the middle of the floor, they started to ignore stats.
And Sieg, ustomed to the unenchanted projectiles, boldly and arrogantly walked forward.
I have no words
Disco, the head of the inspection team, also seemed shocked by what had happened.
Like me, she endured ten years, waiting for this day.
But Sieg
Can you resurrect him? with some hope, I asked Saintess E.
She shook her head, looking at Sieg.
It wouldnt work. Those arrows bear a fatal curse that stifles those who arent worthy to enter the tower. I didnt even think the Hero would fall against such a thing
Hmm
? Was your adventure exciting, Dear Hero?
? The path of a true hero is indeed perilous. However, many rtionships supported you through your journey, and you did not lose hope or lose track of your goal. You grew and learned of friendship and love. In the end, however, you still couldnt defeat the Demon Lord. We truly feel sorry for you!
? Lets take a look at your grades.
I was curious too.
What Siegs grades on his report card be?
? Please check your report card thoroughly!
? Name: Sieg
? Combat Power: MAX
? Achievements: B +
? Reputation: C
? Personality: D-
? Record: 1st Floor
His Combat Power being graded as MAX was only natural, considering he was powerful enough to match the secondary educations average strength.
But the rest of his ratings werent impressive.
It was frustrating to see this imbnce because it looked like my early report card.
? You have failed the test.
? Reason: You died without even getting to fight the Demon Lord. Learn from your mistakes and be vignt next time.
At that point, the Regression started message should have appeared, and Sieg would have returned to the starting point.
However, after Ssosiel became director, this policy changed.
? Would you like to drop out?
? Exnation: If you surrender, you will be transported back to your hometown. However, you will lose all the skills and connections that youve gained here. If you drop out, it will be very difficult to enroll again, so think carefully before making a decision.
The student was given a choice.
In my 1st round, if I had such a terrific opportunity, I would have dropped out without hesitation.
I wasnt even joking.
I was taught by the Great Master Mon anyway. I didnt mind losing my Fantasy skills.
But Sieg wasnt the same as I was.
He couldnt give up.
? The faculty members will be praying for your sess!
? A professional teacher has been assigned to assist you.
? A professional teacher has been assigned to assist you.
? A health teacher has been assigned to assist you.
The ssroom copsed since the Hero no longer needed it.
***
Later, after looking at other peoples personal files, I learned that many other heroes died on the 1st floor aside from Sieg.
They didnt disclose information about the traps ignore status effect.
Dying to those arrows was far too embarrassing to let others know of it. Moreover, they clearly wanted others to experience the pain and shame they had to go through.
My mind left Hero V.
Ten years of my effort all went down the drain
I was now on the 100th floor of the Demon Lords Tower.
I sat on my throne, but I was not alone.
Shh! Distoria will be here soon, said my cowardly wife, sitting on myp and looking through a couple of papers.
Did she realize I was controlling Hero V?
Was she watching me all this time?
Ssosiel didnt answer.
I did my best to understand, though, since she had been alone for so many years.
sh!
Disco suddenly appeared in front of us.
With a bitter smile, she said, If you were watching us, you probably already know itll be difficult to give Fantasy a good assessment based on student Siegs actions and progress.
Unfortunately, you chose the wrong student, Ssosiel told her.
It was indeed unfortunate.
Why did it have to be Sieg of all people?
Due to societys cruelty, however, nobody even tried to delve into my problems.
Calmly, Disco said, I chose him at random, and I have no choice but to assess the whole situation based on what I saw.
I understand. What will you do next? Do you want to go straight to the next student? Or do you want to take a break?
Let me ask you one question before we begin once more.
Go ahead.
As Disco waved her right hand, a hologram that disyed photos of Hero V appeared, ignoring the system.
Did she see through me?
This Ancient Hero proved to be much more capable than student Sieg himself. Im interested in his android. As you are probably well aware now, that androids are Monsofts gship product.
Go on.
I decided to close my mouth and listen further, not wanting to blurt out unnecessary words that mightpromise my mission.
He doesnt seem to realize it at all, but hes perfect. His judgment and abilities go beyond his mechanical body. Hmm I find it very difficult to exin it in words but consider this a womans intuition. If you start mass-producing androids equipped with his mind, your sales will be phenomenal.
Thanks for thepliment.
Ssosiel, pretending to be rxed, tensed up for the first time in a while, which I immediately noticed when her cowardly buttocks clenched with tension.
Nonchntly, Disco continued, It urs to me that his current pretty face, suitable only for mass production, doesnt suit him. That makes me curious about how he truly looks like.
He was very handsome.
I gently massaged my wifes pelvis.
Hey! Take it easy! If she figures us out, our situation will be extremely problematic!
Regardless of this inspections results, I would like to buy it. The price will definitely not disappoint you
No!
I apologize for screaming out of nowhere. Its just that hes an extremely important educational material.
Of course I understand.
Thank God!
Calm down, my wife.
If you have no more questions, miss Disco, lets move on to the next student. I intervened, but her focus remained on my wife.
I wanted to resume the inspection immediately, but Ive changed my mind. Instead, I request to see the Ancient Heros real face. That much is possible at least, right, Director Ssosiel?
Give me a day.
Alright. Can you arrange a ce for me to stay?
Ill leave it to you, Parker Lee.
Supervisor Bakery immediately appeared out of thin air.
Or should he now be called Vice-principal Bakery?
He greeted me, then addressed Disco and tended to her concerns.
Follow me, Miss Distoria. Ill take you to a lodge with a beautiful view of the world of Fantasy.
I look forward to it.
Pop! Pop!
Bakery and Disco disappeared in a sh.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Uuuugh!
Ssosiel pressed against me, exhaling.
Are you okay?
No! Im not okay! When I heard she wanted to buy my husband, my mind cked out.
My charm seems to work in outer space as well.
Even on a much grander scale, I was still attractive.
Ssosiel was lucky.
This is unfair. My friends have husbands who treat them like queens.
Really?
She dared to say that after her MAX-ss husband spent an entire decade enduring Siegs existence for the sake of our familys well-being?
Say something, Addicted Spirit.
Your behavior is uneptable, my niece!
I should be allowed toin sometimes, auntie
Youre awful!
I was wrong. Forgive me, hubby.
However, Ssosiel pouted, unable to hide her dissatisfaction.
Why did you make that promise to her?
You mean showing her Hero Vs true appearance?
Yes.
Lets use your personality and appearance based on your personal file from when you were still a student.
Does this mean that I will be able to freely start romantic rtionships with other girls?
No.
Why?
Its hard to believe, but during the past ten years, you didnt cheat on me with any other woman. Except when you tamed the Ice Dragon King Sleas, you didnt even touch their spines, let alone their pelvis.
And?
What was the big deal?
I knew when to control myself. I tried to act in such a way that they wouldnt see through me.
Disying an odd smile, Ssosiel replied, So Im not worried.
You trust me so much
Lets show her your appearance before being reborn in the world of Fantasy. His name will, of course, be Kang Han Soo.
Who am I, then?
Demon Lord Parmamon.
My wife changed the wonderful name my parents gave me
Parmamon is the name of the most handsome being in the world of Fantasy.
Hmm! If so
Although I was already handsome before, Fantasys inhabitants dered me their sweetest and kindest emperor after being reborn.
Demon Lord Parmamon.
Well, from now on, I would be Hmm?
Hubby?!
SKRR!
Cracks began to appear on my skin like fine china, slithering their way so deep within me that they even reached my soul.
In the end, this phenomenon even affected my divine powers.
[Darkness]
[Spine]
[Human]
The words Disco had said crossed my mind.
He doesnt seem to realize it at all, but hes perfect.
Really.
I waspletely unaware of this.
I hid my divine power that symbolized perfection, so I didnt understand why she said Hero V was perfect.
Disco was a deity, but she called me perfect nheless.
Why?
My name.
Until now, my name, Kang Han Soo, had been very important to me.
It connected me to my home and served as proof that I was a human child.
But this time, it was different.
While working as Hero V, I never used the name Kang Han Soo.
More urately, I had to hide it.
However, it wasnt just my name.
Behavior,nguage, judgment, train of thought
I acted like a local. It was as easy for me as breathing.
Earth: 18 years old.
Fantasy: 211 years old.
Logically speaking, it should be more awkward for me to act like an Earthling now.
But I waspletely unaware of that.
This had be my real self.
I was just pretending to be an earthling all this time.
I found it funny.
Hahahahahaha!
Hubby
This is funny! The ultimate MAX-ranked Hero is nonsensical!
It was all wrong.
That was on me.
I couldnt refuse the simplest but, at the same time, the most difficult notion in my life.
My Name!
This was different from Sieg and the other heroes name changes. Unlike them, I had a reputation that I had umted so far.
That was why it was difficult to refuse it.
But I was prepared to do so.
I would now use aurel wreath that suited me perfectly.
My name was
Parmamon.
I was a god who was an FFF-rank Hero who defeated all demons.
Husband?
What?
What are you muttering under your breath?
I wanted to ask her why she was still sitting on myp, but I refrained from doing so.
I will give you the greatest gift to ever exist, stupid wife!
The greatest gift? What do you mean?
Youll understand when you see it.
She would never forget this.
Chapter 359 - [24th Round] The First Sinner
Chapter 359 - [24th Round] The First Sinner
When Disco first saw me in the Festival dimension about ten years ago, she called my divine powers motley.
At that time, I didnt attach much importance to it, deciding that she was jealous of someone who possessed several divine powers at once.
But that couldnt be farther from the truth.
Ironically, the diversity of my divine powers was tantamount to admitting I wasnt perfect. After all, if I couldnt solve a problem with option A, I would use options B and C.
Ultimately, that meant A was wed.
Gods had to be perfect.
However, they would never admit they werent, for that was no different from giving up their status.
Hence, I employed self-denial.
Farewell.
But not anymore.
[Spine]
[Spinal Cord]
These two divine powersbined the teachings of Master Mon and my scientific knowledge from Earth.
Specifically, they targetted the lumbar region between the 4th and 5th vertebrae and the cervical region between the 6th and 7th vertebrae, where hernias often urred.
Attacking those points proved extremely effective, especially with Master Mons teachings fully enhancing this strategy.
From now on, however, I decided to give them up.
[Human]
And this
It was an ability I acquired in the world of Fantasy and was essentially a divine power born of the human races maximized characteristics.
But
Human races characteristics was just a value obtained through the system of Fantasy.
The possibilities of normal humans without it were limited.
In other words, [Human] was a fictional power that I created through self-hypnosis.
All that was left was
Me.
Only Hero Kang Han Soo remained.
Upon bing Demon Lord Pedonars son-inw, I inherited the family business.
[Darkness]
In truth, that power wasnt weak.
Inbination with the [Light] I borrowed from Ssosiel, I could create an entire parallel world where I dominated both time and space.
I lost sight of that.
I forgot how great my father-inw was because of his human-like appearance and tragic past.
Demon Lord Pedonar.
He was a deity who could crush the sr system with a single movement of his hand.
I quarreled with my father because of my transitional age, but I didnt think the Fugitive Hero would really be able to defeat him.
Transitional age?
On a universal scale, that notion was quite dangerous.
So, hubby, how far can you go by giving up your abilities?
Through it, I can reach perfection.
This was a puzzle game in which failure was uneptable.
I needed to pick up its pieces and swap them around until I had perfected the bigger picture. However, once a piece was thrown to the side, I could no longer retrieve it.
I needed to be careful.
Im worried
Somethings missing.
Hey, husband? Dont get too excited. Im worried enough as it is about Distoria.
I cant find the right pieces toplete the picture.
Does that mean you already failed?!
Not yet. Calm down. Here. Let me stroke your pelvis.
This is so soothing Ugh its magical
I shook my head, feeling the soft skin of my cowardly wife against my hand.
What did I miss?
No. I already found it.
Ssosiel, why did First Angel Parmael be your aunt?
Because my father told me to call her that from the beginning.
And you never bothered to ask why?
Uh no.
I wasnt the only one who was stupid.
I didnt attach much importance to it at first, but now I understood what Icked through it.
Name and title mattered.
There was a good reason why my father-inw told his daughter, This deity is your aunt.
Aunt.
Pedonars sister.
That meant they had blood ties.
But were the First Demon Lord and First Angel really siblings?
That couldnt be. They were both born in nature.
Stop! Nature? Oh!
However, Pedonar and Parmael had the same parents.
Nature.
This concept was so surreal that I subconsciously denied it.
Heeheehee!
The First Spirit caught my train of thought.
I need your help.
I knew the day woulde when the Savage Hero would ask the noblest spirit for help!
Exin it already.
Pedonar and Parmael were born by nature and the macrocosm. And I am a child of nature and the microcosm.
Arent you also her aunt?
Right! Thats because Ssosiels mother, Fantasy, is a sweet spirit born between the microcosm and a.
If so
Regardless of whether the universe was their father or mother, all three had amon parent: Nature.
To summarize this genealogy
First: First Spirit
Second: First Angel
Third: First Demon
Nature could give birth to others between them and other children, but I decided not to go that far.
It gave life to one boy and two girls, the powers of which werepletely concentrated in me.
Do you trust me, Ssosiel?
A little.
Thats enough.
I took apart the divine power that I bestowed on my cowardly wife.
First: [Nature]
Second: [Light] = [Time] + [Nature]
Third: [Darkness] = [Space] + [Nature]
As soon as I disassembled them into theirponents, the omnipresent [Nature] immediately caught my eye.
Clearly, it was the existence that assigned the title First to all three.
If so
What are you going to do?
Ssosiel?
Yes?
Lets make love.
Hey, why now?
I no longer needed to use the happiness ring.
I went deep into Ssosiel.
Oh, stop! Whats up with you?!
I want the most beautiful daughter in the universe to be born from you.
Are you crazy?! Your other children will die!
No. Not anymore.
I decided to take all the curses upon myself and put an end to them.
Not even Nature could stop me.
First: -
Second: [Time]
Third: [Space]
Fourth: [Nature] + [Nature] + [Nature]
I weakened the First Spirit after exploiting her power of nature during our first meeting.
I then defeated the First Angel and deprived her of her power of nature.
Lastly, the First Demon transferred his power of nature to me, his MAX-ss son-inw, whom his daughter loved so much.
However, I couldnt hold all of my current power alone.
Hence, I distributed them.
Wife: [Genesis] = [Time] + [Space]
Husband: [Nature] + [Nature] + [Nature]
All of them were now in the hands of a cowardly couple!
Ibined the Fantasy system to create one divine power.
[Genesis]
And I handed it over to Ssosiel.
She became a true universal-level deity that controlled time and space!
Hey, cowardly husband? This feels a little weird.
You mean the absence of my happiness ring? Or your new divine power?
Both! But my divine power worries me more right now!
Thats only natural.
In truth, she became a deity who couldnt do anything herself if her husband didnt provide her with raw materials.
In other words, as long as her husband loved her, she would retain her universal-level deity status, but if either of us fell out of love, she would be left with nothing.
Do you understand?
I do! What youre doing is very in a capitalist society!
If you dont like it, return it.
I dont want to!
Even afterining, however, my cowardly wife smiled brightly.
I acted in a hurry, almost as if I had been waiting for this for a long time.
If my siege weapon werent G-ranked, it would have already been destroyed by my intensity.
I
I love you! I really love you! I dont know what else to say, but I love you! This is true! Let me love you in the future as well! I love you!
Im a little toote
As expected, Nature had already turned its gaze on me, a greedy entity.
At that moment, something that couldnt be put into words seized me and took my breath away.
It swallowed my nature, which was like dustpared to its essence
Husband? Did you fall asleep?
It cant be! Did you die of an excessive orgasm?! This is a joke, right? Husband! Say something! Hey!
I heard Ssosiels screams trying to bring me to my senses.
Ah! Wake up
But they gradually faded away.
***
I didnt disappear.
The will of Nature wanted to devour me eagerly, but many deities refused to allow it.
Numerous gods, including Monsoft, sponsored the Fantasy Institution.
However, if I disappeared, it didnt matter how many of them there were. Fantasy would disappear with me, causing our investors to suffer losses.
That was why I continued to exist.
Like a perfect god!
[Original sin].
A significant divine power.
On Earth, that term was mentioned in religions history of creation and referred to the first sinmitted by the first humans, an act of pride. Tempted by the devil, they imagined themselves in ce of God. They decided for themselves what was good and what was evil when He forbade them to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge.
In many ways, I was simr to them.
1) I was the Hero who separated good from evil.
2) I had the divine power [Human].
3) I made the sin of absorbing the power of nature.
4) Ibined the powers of creation.
5) I was expelled from Nature.
6) My life as a married man proved difficult!
And I was the first sinner, the first to go against the will of Nature.
In that sense, I was as human as could be.
*****
Apchhii!
My airways, which were clogged with foreign matter, were cleared with one sneeze.
How long had I been asleep?
Looking around as soon as I opened my eyes, I thought that I would wake up in somerge pyramid-like tomb, but I, much like before, found myself sitting on the throne of the Demon Lord.
How many days had I been unconscious?
666 Earth days. However, you slept in the space I created for about 1.82 million years. Ssosiel, nursing a baby, answered me.
Wow.
Not 182 years, but 1.82 million years?
I was shocked.
You imprisoned your husband in space where time had been elerated a millionfold?
I wanted you to wake up sooner.
You
I missed you.
Im trying to control my emotions to avoid making our child cry, but its not as easy as I thought Sniff
Come here.
I nced at the little life in Sosiels arms as she sat on myp.
Honestly, I had a hard time believing it.
It was as if I just closed my eyes for a moment due to fatigue, but when I opened them, my fifth child was already in the arms of my cowardly wife.
Wow?
[Spine]
Although he wasnt a girl, I was still pleased because he looked healthy and had a GGG-ranked spine.
Too healthy, even.
Im d.
Judging by the expression on your face, handsome husband, theres something else you want to say.
Not really.
There was a right time for everything.
Right now, we had to deal with Monsoft, which threatened the well-being of our family.
I havent named our baby yet, but your little brother apparently wants to call him Pedonar II.
That son of a bitch!
I would kill him as soon as I met him!
When you removed all the systems shackles on me, I became free. That allowed me to visit your parents who live on Earth often. Thanks to my space mount, I can cover the distance between the twos in no time at all.
Se-e-e-e-ex~
The obscenely screaming stingray circled around us.
It annoyed me, but my son, who was sucking on his mothers tits,ughed happily, looking at the stingray.
It seemed, like Haris, he didnt inherit my character.
What about Disco?
Shes happily taking part in an adventure.
Thats good.
Not really. She praises Hero V, not the students. Even ten S-ranked students from the secondary education course couldnt surpass him.
Seriously?
Without disciples andpanions, Kang Han Soo climbed to the 80th floor of the Demon Lords Tower alone. In just six years.
Thats serious!
Watching Sieg die on the 1st floor, I overestimated theplexity of the tower.
The teachers are confused too. What annoys me more is that Distoria constantly asks me to sell my husband.
Is that so.
That was no reason to be optimistic, however.
What about you? You took over the power of my father and both my aunts, almost killing yourself. I almost became a widow!
Smiling, I replied, Ive never been better.
[Original sin]
I was the sinner who had swallowed up undeserved power.
Chapter 360 - [24th Round] I Am You
Chapter 360 - [24th Round] I Am You
The secondary education course began ten years before the original Hero was summoned, at which point one hero was called each year, with a total of 10 heroes uniting for the adventure.
That was the case until the 4th curriculum.
The 5th curriculums secondary education course, which was under Ssosiels leadership, was different.
Ten heroes still united in one setting, but Green Cake, who looked like an archmage, summoned all of them simultaneously.
And they went on an adventure together.
Lets go to the Eastern Continent!
Shouldnt we get the Holy Sword on the Eastern Continent?
Itll be better if we start from the Western Continent instead!
What? I suggest we go for the Northern Continent!
Why is everyone ignoring the Central Continent?
Mons Teachings is the true religion!
I prefer the Great Child
The guide says its best to start from the Southern Continent.
Im the leader here! I have the final say!
Leader? Dont make meugh.
Since ten stubborn people with the tendency to act independently gathered in one ce, problems arose from the very beginning.
But that was also a part of their training.
Even if a hero developed leadership skills in the ssroom by going out into themunity, they would still have to learn how to work under someone elses authority and coborate with others.
Heroes were put under one team to teach them how to act together.
However
My dear fellow heroes, listen to mymands. For those who refuse to, raise your hand, which you do not mind losing.
Whos this?
Are you a hero too?
Introduce yourself!
Where did youe from?
Why are you ordering us around?
Who are you?
A certain individual brought even more confusion among them.
Judging by his stats, he wasnt stronger than the other heroes, or even approximately equal to them.
Demonstrating the smile of the Righteous Hero, he said, I am a hero!
***
A righteous wolf had infiltrated a flock of sheep.
As a result, the sheep temporarily joined forces and rushed at him with the vile power of friendships help.
They didnt seed, however.
This was because the dastardly power of friendship wasnt enough to handle fair justice!
Ah!
Kh?!
Kya?!
Oh!
And so the adventure of the Righteous Hero began.
Neglecting their training, many of them constantly fooled around. As a result, they died one by one.
Of course, they had help in reaching such dire situations.
Android Biancas, which was produced in a factory on the Western Continent, regrly attacked the heroes.
The weakest of them were in first.
However, the head of the inspection team, Disco, didnt pay even the slightest attention to them.
Youre too strict with yourself, Hero. You can afford to rx with a beauty once a month.
Beauty?
Shes right in front of you.
I beg your pardon, but external beauty isnt what Im looking for.
Oh! Its been a long time since Ive been so politely refused. I cant even remember thest time I met a man who appreciates inner beauty.
Youre persistent
I developed a sense of possessiveness when I was a child. Ah! I also like to be owned, though!
I didnt ask.
Ouch!
Disco pestered Hero Kang Han Soo all day long.
ording to his personal file, shortly after his return to Earth, he died at the hands of Fugitive Seniors subjects, and this version of Kang Han Soo appeared as his reincarnation.
He looked like me 200 years ago, and yet he knew he was a fake that could only exist in the world of Fantasy.
I was surprised he didnt get pissed off.
He took it quite calmly, said Ssosiel, who led the so-called Project Kang Han Soo.
Really?
Yes. When he died on Earth, he thought he was finished. But now, he feels hes been given a second life in the world of Fantasy.
Hmm Is that so.
During my first round, no one knew about the system, so all the students, myself included, treasured their lives.
But even after that, when I learned that I could regress after death, I tried my best not to die.
Such was the instinct of human self-preservation.
We only had one life.
Even the current me, who died at the hands of Fugitive Seniors underling, understood that I had a different body withpletely different genes.
Only my soul remained.
You think hes a reincarnation because you were born through a womans womb, a natural process, but Kang Han Soo is different. He retained the same form he had shortly before his death on Earth. Hence, he understands that he became a learning material, not a reincarnation.
Right.
In my 2nd round, I already knew the world of Fantasy was a huge ssroom.
That was why Kang Han Soo resigned himself to his fate, concluding that he died and became a teaching material like hispanions.
I didnt notice this before, but when I looked at myself externally, I finally realized the immense adaptability I had.
Thats why Distoria is so eager to get it.
I see
I decided to check the personal file of the monitored student everyone had forgotten about.
? Type: Personal file
? Name: ddin
? Alignment: Neutral Evil
? Main Quality: Lover of Fun
? Experience: 530 years
? Record: 7
? Overall Rating: A student whose genius for thievery is recognized even by teachers. He is gifted with talent and luck, but he spends too much time flirting, chasing every skirt that passes by him. It is a shame that he does not seek toplete his studies, but instead, he wastes his talents.
Hmm. Her random choice isnt so bad.
Although he wasnt a good role model, he was an excellent studentpared to Sieg.
Five years before the initial summoning of the original Hero, only three of the ten heroes were left, excluding Kang Han Soo. Those who decided to leave the party werent even worth talking about since Bianca exterminated them.
They didnt die without achieving anything, at least.
Holy Sword of Humans: Automania.
Holy Sword of Giants: Moncoin.
They got hold of the Holy Swords from the Central and Southern Continents.
To get the 3rd Holy Sword, they headed to the Northern Continent.
Holy Sword of Mermaids: Monrod.
Containing the soul of an experienced hero, it was an ego sword that I had already acquired in the past.
It sounded incredible, but I remembered the soul imbued in it was actually pretty useless.
Not anymore. We fired her and hired another hero.
I hope you didnt use another version of me.
I thought about doing that.
Thats too much! Are you nning on exploiting your husband to the fullest?
Ahem! In the end, we chose the Heavenly Demon, the strongest Hero of the 1st curriculum. At the time, he was even called the strongest adventurer.
Is he that strong?
Well, as a human, yes. Unfortunately, when he encountered Noebius, not even ashes remained of him.
Well, thats only natural.
If he attacked Noebius, it didnt matter if he was a farmer or a hero.
However, Ssosiel probably didnt appoint him to such an important role without a valid reason.
It would be nice if the heroes could stop dying like flies
How do they still die with Saintesses in their party?
Saintess E and Saintess A joined them after acquiring Holy Swords Moncoin and Automania.
However, seven of them still died without even having the chance of being resurrected.
Its like looking away from a shrewd child. Finding Kang Han Soos leadership over their adventure too hard, the Hero escapes from the party. However, Bianca immediately attacks them as soon as theyve strayed far enough from the others. Since no one even knows where their body is, the Saintesses cant resurrect them.
Thats terrifying.
The main theme of the secondary education course was cooperation.
Therefore, no mercy was shown to those who dared detach themselves from the party.
Mmm.
Anyway, hubby, give your son a name. Or do you want him to be Pedonar II, as your younger brother suggested? Ssosiel asked, looking at our sleeping child.
Dont talk nonsense! I dont want my son to hate meter for this
Hush. Youll wake him up.
So what do we call him?
I was going to give him an Earthly name, but now that its not my home anymore, Ive decided his name to be in the style of Fantasy.
Have youe up with something?
No.
But Id figure something out soon.
The President of the Universe would help me.
Wouldnt it?
There it was.
Sid.
Since its my husbands opinion, which the universe itself prompted, Ill go along with it, but as the mother of the child, I have a say in it, too, right?
Of course.
Sidael.
I forgot you also have an angelic essence coexisting in you.
This little life was centered on the love of two factions.
Demons and Angels.
And he didnt inherit just one side of the family.
[Spine]
Im 200% sure he will grow up to be a very strong child.
He had divine power from birth.
Therefore, he could never be considered weak.
There is one more thing you must know. The Sword Princess recognizes not only Parmamon as her husband but also Kang Han Soo. I thought she wouldnt recognize you because of the difference in your appearances, but I underestimated her intuition.
Hmm
Im really sorry.
Its okay. Kang Han Soo is who I was in the past.
Uh-huh
As expected, he decided to bring helpfulpanions under his wing before acquiring the Sword Princess, who was supposedly useless.
Kang Han Soo first recruited Sage as apanion, who wasted his time in vain rivalry with Shakespeare, the Great Sage of the Western Continent. Without putting even a second on making acquaintances, he then went to Duke Qs estate, where the Sword Princess lived.
Naturally, it was to apply to participate in the tournament!
Righteous Hero Kang Han Soo and the monitored Hero ddin signed up for the tournament.
The other two members of the party opted out of it because they were women.
Regardless, being a Hero by profession wasnt always the best option.
ddin was the perfect example of that.
? Race: Shadow Man
? Level: 2753
? Job: Phantom Thief (Crisis Luck )
? Skills: Dexterity ZZZ, Evasion ZZ, Covert Assassination ZZ, Tracking Z, Strength Z, Emotions Z, Love Z, Luck Z, Swimming Z, Stealth Z, Fortitude Z, Magic Power Z, Robbery Z, Spot Z, Shadows Z, Sword Mastery Z, Armor Break Z, Charm Z, Reputation Z, Extortion MAX
? Status: Holy Sword, Protection, Hope
He sacrificed many basic skills to push his more important skills like Sword Mastery beyond their limit.
Although he still had useless skills like Meet Women, he pumped his Reputation as a countermeasure to Karma, which had grown to such an extent that it could no longer be ignored.
Sieg, that bastard
If he sacrificed even just his Male Strength alone, he would have finished the primary course right away.
Anyway
I wont lose this time, Kang Han Soo!
Do your best, Hero A.
My name is ddin! ddin! How many times do I have to say it for you to remember it?!
I dont even remember the names of Hero B and Hero C, who are females, and you want me to remember a mans name?
Oh, you
Did you want to say something, Hero A?
Yes! Kang Han Soo! See you in the finals of the tournament!
What were the confident Kang Han Soos stats?
? Race: Man of Chaos
? Level: 7158
? Job: Brave (Everyone = Level 1)
? Skills: Immortality ZZ, Annihtion ZZ, Divinity Z, Dark Energy Z, Chaos Z, Nature Z, Luck Z, Spirit Z, Stamina Z, Recovery Z, Sword Mastery MAX
? Status: Holy Sword, Blessing, Protection
His Spirit skill was worth paying attention to. It was ranked Z, but it was actuallyparable to G rank.
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
As in my case, the Spirit Kings of the Five Attributes stuck to Kang Han Soos armpits and groin.
His Divinity and Dark Energy couldnt be ignored either!
Due to those, no magic or effects originating from Fantasy could damage him.
And if his opponent tried to overwhelm him through sheer levels, he would bring their level down to 1 through his Brave job.
He was impossible to resist against.
Good luck, Count Lolicon.
My name is not Count Lolicon! I am Count Lolikun! You can learn a thing or two about manners from ddin!
Is the test over?
It is. If you are so confident in your abilities, you should bet on yourself.
Thanks for the advice, Count Lolicon.
Lolikun!
It was obvious what Kang Han Soo would do after passing the tournament qualification test.
Bet?
That could be dealt withter.
For the tournament to take ce, 64 people had to sign up. Waiting for the number of participants to reach that quota was a waste of time.
Hence, he was left with no other choice.
He decided it necessary to personally deal with the recruitment ofbatants.
Itll be fun.
Hubby?
Brother?
As I was about to leave for the scene, I stopped.
Why did you call me brother, Addicted Spirit?
Because thats what you are to me. Nature whispered to me in the starlight that you are my brother.
Tsk.
I decided not to argue and got down to business.
I wasnt worried about being caught by Disco.
[Original Sin]
I was the nature of Fantasy, after all.
I was the deity that existed throughout the world of Fantasy.
Excuse me. I am just a passing follower of Mons Teachings
What a coincidence.
Oh, sorry! My hand slipped!
Oh, mine too.
Let go.
You let go first.
We expressed our dissatisfaction by holding onto each others cervical vertebrae.
Chapter 361 - [24th Round] Sister-in-law vs. Niece
Chapter 361 - [24th Round] Sister-inw vs. Niece
You dont want to let go, huh?
What about you?
Im thinking about it.
Me too.
We gradually loosened our grip. The end of all this would never havee otherwise.
I was the first to make concessions.
I was against Kang Han Soo, after all. He was who I once was.
It wasnt humiliating for me to give in to myself.
Perhaps.
Finally, we let go of each other and mingled with the crowd.
Kang Han Soo, who was walking side by side along the street with me, spoke first,
Passing Fanatic X, what did you want to talk to me about?
Fanatic X?
He was very wary of me.
I noticed you and decided to invite you to take part in the tournament. I dont think Im mistaken about choosing you.
Why do you need it?
Youre Kang Han Soo, arent you? Youre quite famous. If I beat you, Ill earn more money from this tournament.
Hehe Indeed. I see what youre up to.
There was no emotion on his face.
But I could tell just by looking into his eyes that he was intrigued.
We went to an alley and visited a tavern loved by the locals of Duke Qs estate.
One of the reasons I chose this ce was that Kang Han Soo, who had no memory of reuniting with the Sword Princess, Haris mother, didnt know of it.
This was where I stayed the night after my heavenly date with her No, to be more precise, I stayed here until noon.
The Sword Princess, born and raised in her fathers territory, rmended this tavern to me.
The homemade fruit wine here is amazing.
Yes, I agree. Impressive.
Not many people know about this ce. Even I, born in this kingdom, learned about it after I got married.
I see.
I didnt lie.
My mother was a princess who escaped here from a neighboring country and a childhood friend of the Sword Princess.
Looking back, my past turned out strange. Before I was wedded to my fiance, I had already impregnated her, who was much older than me back then.
That aside
Ive been preaching Mons Teachings among stupid people for years already, and I would like to settle down now.
You want to take the daughter of this ces ruler as your concubine? Youre brave.
If I win the tournament, that would be the case. What about you?
My situations a little moreplicated than that.
Well, that was understandable.
For Kang Han Soo, the Sword Princess was a crazy bitch who showed up in a negligee and then threw herself at him with a sword.
But he came after her anyway because a strong swordsman was useful as apanion.
We talked while drinking fruit wine.
Another bottle?
Of course.
I hadnt experienced this feeling for a very long time.
The higher your skills, the more difficult it was to get drunk.
However, now that I had be God, such restrictions did not apply to me.
I could get drunk at will.
My stats at this point had just be decoration.
? Race: Royal Noble
? Level: 2001
? Job: Apostle (Patronage = Ability)
? Skills: Faith Z, Divinity Z, Preaching MAX, Endurance MAX, Incitement MAX, Fabrication MAX, Versatility MAX, Gifted MAX, Dignity MAX, Prayer MAX, Holy Spirit MAX, Nature MAX, Luck SSS
? Status: Drunk, Blessing
My skills made at the core of the Fantasy system were mere products of fiction.
Simply put, the form was:
[World] = [Nature] + [Time] + [Space]
One could think of skills as part of the [World], and I was God dealing with [Nature], which was the world of Fantasys core.
If I wanted, I could raise all of my skills to GGG rank.
I could endlessly use Nature to transcend my limits, after all.
The same was true of my level.
Fanatic X, are you that much of Master Mons believer?
Of course. Hes the one who made me who I am today.
What a strange coincidence. The same goes for me, but I didnt think it would turn into a religion.
A toast to Master Mon.
To Master Mon!
Thanks to our unanimous respect for the greatest being to ever exist, the atmosphere around our table softened a bit, and Kang Han Soo became more rxed.
I was really curious about him.
ording to his file, he died on Earth and was resurrected on the Northern Continent of Fantasy as an ordinary hero.
Tell me your story.
My story? Hmm
If you dont want to, you dont have to.
Well, mistaken for the Demon Lord, I was killed shortly after I returned to my homnd.
Woah.
Do you believe me?
There is no reason not to believe the words of one who reveres Master Mon.
Thank you for understanding. Cheers.
I am ready to listen to all lost souls. Cheers.
Once more, we shouted, To Master Mon!
We continued to get drunk on fruit wine.
My soul suffered because of that incident.
But youre alive.
Yes, but I will never be able to return to my beautiful home.
A pity.
Kang Han Soo left out many details.
Graduates who died on Earth automatically returned to the world of Fantasy, again enrolled in training.
But his case was different.
Fugitive Senior trapped him during his attempt to hunt down Demon Lord Pedonar, who had escaped from Fantasy.
Dying in such a way resulted in a different oue.
It wasparable to theplete annihtion of ones essence.
However, because the Demon Lord Pedonar decided to make him his sessor, he was able to be reborn in the world of Fantasy, saving his soul.
This was really ironic.
He died because of my father-inw and was reborn thanks to my father-inw.
Ah. Im rambling.
What are your ns for the future?
Ill help my juniors defeat the Demon Lord. Ive suffered a lot in my time because of badpanions, and I dont want them to experience the same pain.
Thats great.
Haha! Ill help them with the knowledge Ive gained over 20 years.
This was truly insane.
He only had 20 years of experience in the world of Fantasy, but he was already helping heroes who had been studying here for more than 200 years.
Kang Han Soo continued.
If I meet a good woman during my adventures, I should get married. Im almost forty.
Married?
Is it strange?
Uh no.
But it was.
I knew our way of thinking was a little different due to our circumstances, but words about marriageing from him were too unexpected.
Ssosia?
If I didnt fall into the trap of my vile father-inw, she wouldnt have been my wife.
I had a different opinion about this matter now, but that wasnt certainly the case then.
I wondered what changed.
Returning to my nativend, I lost a girl who was unrequitedly in love with me. Her name was Hippolia.
We had a master-ve rtionship, but she was the best woman I ever met. I only realized that now. We could have been together. She would have given birth to my child, and I wouldve proudly introduced my grandson to my terrifying mother Haha
Im sorry.
Drinking another ss of wine, I thought about it.
When I was reborn, Saintess H was by my side as if that was how it should be. And she protected my mother until she gave birth to me.
But Kang Han Soo was different.
He thought her death was his fault.
Is this the power of Mons Teachings Apostle? This is funny. Im talking so much about myself to a person I recently just met.
It is Mons will.
Well I dont mind. Thank you for listening. Mon.
Mon united souls!
We drank for a while without saying a word until Kang Han Soo spoke up.
What about you?
About me?
You said you were married.
Ah, thats right. Much to my surprise, when I returned home from a business trip, I found my wife holding a baby that hade from nowhere.
And now you have your sights set on the Sword Princess?
Mon.
Hey, Fanatic! You dont think the oue of the tournaments already been decided, do you?
Of course, I did.
It was an obvious misunderstanding, but I decided not to make excuses toplicate the situation.
Why are you so worried about this, Kang Han Soo?
What?
Why do you care who the Sword Princess marries?
Because I am a hero.
Hmm. I see. Heroes often help bring people together, yet youre opposed to what I desire. Do you really think Ill make her that unhappy?
Be honest with me. What do you think of the Sword Princess?
Wed better have another drink.
Haha! That is a great answer.
For Kang Han Soo, who couldnt get drunk due to his high skills, this wine was like juice, but I enjoyed the alcohol to the fullest.
How many years had passed since thest time I got drunk like this?
I got so wasted that I ended up passing out, and Kang Han Soo, who calcted the full cost of our tab, quickly faded away.
***
I paid, hubby.
What? That bastard ran away?!
My head was splitting with pain.
I know you have a hangover, but dont scream.
Mmm.
My little son slept in Ssosiels arms, drooling.
Why do you constantly carry him in your arms?
Because this is my child.
But to do that all day long
You are too insensitive and do not understand my feelings. You have no idea how much Ive wanted a child.
Im hungover for the first time in 200 years, and my wife is nagging. Isnt this how a normal family should be?
I rubbed my temples and slowly lifted my upper body out of bed.
It seemed I spent the night on the second floor of the tavern.
I was probably carried here when Kang Han Soo left.
I opened the window with a wave of my hand, almost as if I was using a remote control.
While listening to Kang Han Soos story, who decided to end his adventures after 20 years and settle down due to the loss of his woman, I suddenly thought, Will I settle down as well only after I lose something of value to me?\''
Thats a strange question. You didnt settle down when my aunt took Hippolia away from you.
Isnt that because I already have you?
Why are you suddenly so frank? Im not ready for such words!
Ssosiel, sitting on the edge of the bed, turned away, blushing.
How sweet, my niece!
Auntie!
Shh! Be quiet. Youll wake dear Sidael up.
The First Spirit never left my head before.
But now, she was sitting on Ssosiels shoulder, staring at our baby.
What are you doing now?
I watched how my niece gave birth to my nephew from the beginning to the end. During those moments, I decided I must protect this cute little boy until he bes an adult.
Stop! You just said something strange.
Her niece gave birth to her nephew?
Theres nothing strange about that. Ssosiel is the daughter of my brother Pedonar, so shes my niece, and Sidael is the son of my brother Parmamon, so hes my nephew.
What is wrong with our genealogy
By bing the God of Nature, I further ruined our family tree.
By the Addicted Spirits logic, I married my brothers daughter.
Ssosiel sighed.
Dont pay attention to what my aunt says. Its always been like this with deities.
Hey! Dont spoil it for him!
Auntie
Call me sister-inw from now on!
Tsk! Okay! Then starting now, you are forbidden to kiss Sidael on the cheeks.
Cowardly niece-inw! How dare you take my handsome nephew hostage!
It seemed like it would take some time before these two could decide who was what in this family.
I got myself out of bed somehow.
My hangover made me feel dizzy, but it made me feel like a living being.
It wasnt a bad sensation at all.
Where are you going, hubby?
Ill be registering for the tournament.
Are you sure? Distoria might notice.
Dont worry. She didnt notice yesterday.
She still considered me a deity with motley powers, after all.
And if she did get to the bottom of it?
I would just say that I decided to discourage the bachelors who tried to covet my woman.
It was a matter of honor.
Handsome husband.
What?
Are you sure you want to lie in front of your sweet son? Be honest.
I want to teach a guy a lesson for escaping without paying for our drinks.
Chapter 362 - [25th Round] You Are Not Me
Chapter 362 - [25th Round] You Are Not Me
The tournament for the hand of the Sword Princess progressed smoothly.
Me, Kang Han Soo, ddin.
We all easily defeated the other idiots and quickly climbed to the top.
But not everyone here was weak.
? Race: Blood Angel
? Level: 3194
? Job: Swordsman (Fencing = sh )
? Skills: Sword Mastery ZZ, Divinity ZZ, Armor Pration Z, Five Senses Z, Resistance Z
? Status: Blessing, Arrogance
There were also angels among the participants of the tournament.
ording to Ssosiel, this was because Parmaels followers werent locked up but instead still enjoyed their freedom.
They were like fish on a farm.
Those loyal to Bananael were given the Blood Angel race and were allowed to operate freely in the world of Fantasy, which was what Parmael did to her niece Ssosia in the past.
They were granted limited independence so they could be used in ssrooms as educational materials.
This was the result.
People are really weak.
Kh
With the exception of Parmael and Bananael, whose memories couldnt be erased even with the systems help, the rest of them didnt know the truth.
Hence, they still considered themselves the race best suited to rule the world of Fantasy.
The Sword Princess will be my property.
Tsk!
The angels had been scattered all over the continents.
To revive the Church of the Goddess, whose members worshipped Lanuvel, they constantly opposed Mons Teachings and the religion of the Great Child.
That was why they were trying to get rid of the Sword Princess as well. She was, after all, the high priestess of Mons Teachings.
However, they were yet to seed.
? Race: ck Demon
? Level: 3214
? Job: Swordsman (Fencing = sh )
? Skills: Endurance ZZ, Dark Energy ZZ, Fencing Z, Recovery Z, Perseverance Z
? Status: Magic Sword, Pride
After all, demons opposed them.
They were bugs left by my father-inws interference with the system, and they were uncontroble.
We could easily get rid of them, but Director Ssosiel chose not to. Instead, turning a blind eye to their existence, she used them to her advantage.
See you in the finals, Sodael.
Hmph! Dont be arrogant, vile demon.
Anywho.
Due to Kang Han Soos presence, I forgot the main character of this ss was supposed to be Hero ddin.
And it was he who had to fight both an angel and a demon.
Nevertheless, he managed somehow.
He defeated the demon he faced in the elimination rounds and reached the quarterfinals, where he beat an angel.
He pushed on not because he was strong, however.
? ddin: Thank you very much. Your advice let me defeat the demon Barcel?3ca. Ill be spending the night with the Sword Princess very soon. Ill make sure to post a photo of it, bing the first to do so in the process.
? Sieg: Munchkin already did that.
? Luke: If you emerge victorious, please share the secret to defeating the Sword Princess, sir ddin.
? Isis: Thats disgusting. A woman isnt a trophy! Well, youre not going to seed anyway.
? Odin: You wont be the first, but try anyway, junior. The Sword Princess is too strong in the tertiary education course, but I think you still have a chance in the secondary one.
? Satan: Junior ddin, I dont want to upset you, but you better forget about the Sword Princess. Even if you defeat her, she wont marry you.
? Zeus: No one has defeated her yet. Just saying ^^
? Ah: Ignore Satans words. He just doesnt want someone else to get it before him.
? Munchkin: Good luck.
Dreaming wasnt harmful.
Many heroes took photographs tomemorate their act of seducing apanion.
The monphonemunity had already uploaded many simr photos with differentpanions.
Nasus, Sylvia, Pirate Queen, Imperial Princess, Aqua, Tomato, Sage, Ice Dragon King, Ice Princess, Dark Knight, Knight King
Among them were those whose hearts were easy to get hold of with the help of guides.
But there were also the opposite cases.
Extremely powerful participants have gathered in the final stretches of this tournament! To advance to the semifinals, the talented Rogue ddin defeated one of the crowds favorites, the Swordsman of Light Sodael! What else will he surprise us with? Please wee him with thunderous apuse!
Boooooo!
Boo!
Boo!
The Hero ddin slowly entered the arena, looking at the screen of his monphone.
As expected, he was booed from all sides.
And now my turn hade.
All followers of Mons Teachings should immediately drop what theyre doing and stand up to offer their respects. I cant reveal the name and origin of thispetitor, but he is a fellowpatriot! Let us wee the Grand Inquisitor of Mons Teachings, the punisher of stupid heretics!
Mon
May Mons blessing be with you
For the glory of Mon
For Mon
Here it was. The difference between us.
I didnt spread Mons Teaching 2,000 years ago by introducing flush toilets on the Northern Continent for nothing.
After all, due to that, everyone here now worshipped the greatest being!
It was a wonderful sight.
An inquisitor punishing heretics
Hero ddin frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction.
I chuckled.
Dont worry too much. Worshiping the Great Child isnt considered heresy.
But I felt a little embarrassed.
That religions followers worshipped Captain Fantasy, my alter ego, as their deity.
I dont worship anyone.
I only believe in myself and the skills that Ive developed. There is no other truth. What do you say to that, inquisitor? Am I a heretic?
Let me ask you one question, ddin. What brought forth your sess?
My effort and time.
I see. If so, then youre merely ignorant. Ill teach you how to differentiate a Mon from a Mun.
Haha! Try it if you can.
Fshuh!
The Hero decided to act first.
That was too rash, considering he hadnt even seen me fight yet.
My fellow Mon followers voluntarily surrendered upon realizing I was the one they were up against.
This was justice.
ddins preferred twin daggers as his weapon.
He used a sword when necessary, but he generally relied on surprise attacks, cutting off his targets neck or tendons as swiftly and unprecedentedly as he could.
To that end, he employed typical stealth assassin tactics, which werent actually that bad. However, his execution of such strategies was clumsy and subpar, considering he engaged in closebat without even knowing the strength of his opponents.
He was too arrogant.
Pop!
I summoned the mace of justice, the perfect armament for smashing foolish heretics heads.
Ha! Youre using that at this distance? This match is as good as my victory Huh?!
Pfft. Dont be ridiculous.
I grabbed its nge with my bare hands.
There was no rule stating I had to hold on to its hilt.
Its spikes dug into my palms, but I didnt mind.
Y-youre insane
The moment I threw it at him, ddins left shoulder was ripped apart, forcing him to back away.
Afterward, I wielded my weapon conventionally. Swinging it like a club, it drew arge parab in the air.
Thanks to his high skills, he survived my first attack, but now he was put in an even worse position, as this distance was perfect for my mace.
If he failed to deflect even just one blow from me
Id make mincemeat out of him!
Come! Automania!
Deciding it was better to abandon the twin daggers due to his wounded left arm, he summoned his Holy Sword, which immediately made any hero a first-ss swordsman.
It was ideal for beginners.
Pathetic.
I brandished the mace of justice.
Holy Sword A tried to attack me but almost immediately stopped to take up a defensive position.
Bam!
It barely had time to block my blow.
If it had been an ordinary sword, its de would have already been broken. Unfortunately, the systems protection prevented it from being damaged.
The same couldnt be said for the Heros body, however.
Kh?!
He was already trembling all over.
Even if he left his own battles to Holy Sword A, the Hero should, at the very least, match its level to some extent.
Weaklings loosened their grip so as not to interfere with its automated actions. One could use some force to support it, but it would be quite difficult to synchronize with it.
Only heroes who didnt depend on it could be called its true masters.
Regardless
Your Holy Sword wont be able to stop my mace.
Kh?!
I already hated Holy Sword A from my very first round, so much so that I decided to learn how to use a wide variety of weapons instead of relying on it.
Spears againstrge monsters.
Bows against flying creatures.
Maces against soft-bodied opponents.
Shields against those who boasted speed.
Swords were a versatile weapon that could be used for most situations, but that didnt mean they were the best.
I was different from other heroes who tried to solve everything using the Holy Swords.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
A mace wasnt just a club that could deliver heavy blows.
Using it, one could strike evenly, like beating a drum.
The rhythm was important for such a technique.
Bam! Bam! Bam! ?
Tsk! Kh! Ugh!
I didnt use any skills.
More precisely, my current form didnt even have skills that were mace-rted.
I operated based on pure experience.
All I needed was a weapon capable of withstanding the Holy Swords cutting power and the minimum strength required to push my opponent back.
Against a ve to skills, those two things were more than enough.
Hero ddins right arm, holding Holy Sword A, waspletely broken.
That was the end of it.
Pride and self-confidence arent inherently evil, but you must never forget to believe in Mon, lostmb.
Argh! I give Pha?!
Did he think Id let him surrender so easily?
If I hit his jaw with my mace of justice, he would die.
So I used my knee instead.
He should rejoice that we were in the world of Fantasy. If we were on Earth, I wasnt certain even dental imnts could help him recover.
Bang!
ddin fell.
Master Mon, please take care of this lostmb. Mon.
Mon
Mon
The audience supported me through prayers.
***
Despite deviating from the advice of the other sses heroes, Kang Han Soo proved himself powerful by sessfully reaching the finals.
We meet again.
Boris lightsaber, which I used to wield during my days as the sweet emperor, was now in my opponents hands.
We have finally entered this tournaments grand finals! Whoever emerges victorious here will be granted the opportunity to propose to Lady Kaisa Kureil. That being said, let me cut to the chase and bask in the glory of our finalists, starting with the famous mercenary from another continent! Hmm? Please wait for a moment.
In the middle of his monologue, the announcer revised his introductory speech upon receiving a note.
Oh! Let me reintroduce ourbatant! Please wee the Viscount of the Central Continents Holy Empire, Honorary Captain of the Holy Kingdoms knights, Knight of Light of the Southern Continents Elf Empire, Completionist of the Giant Empires six trials, 1st ss Pdin of the Great Child, and fianc of Lady Kaisa Kureil, the beautiful pearl of the Kureil estate! Count Kang Han Soo!
A tournament is just a means and a process. There is, after all, another way to win the Sword Princesss heart, Kang Han Soo smiled.
Oh, you scoundrel! You still dare call yourself a hero?!
Im already retired.
It seems your sense of justice retired with you.
Someone will definitely rece me.
Tsk! You unscrupulous young man!
I couldnt believe he was my past self.
He was indeed a little different.
Do you still intend to fight even if youve already lost, Fanatic X?
Of course!
I decided to teach him the true meaning of justice!
Haha! I knew this would happen. Since were here, try to beat the payment for our tab out of me.
This younger version of me really pissed me off.
Chapter 363 - [25th Round] 0.01%
Chapter 363 - [25th Round] 0.01%
Well, lets have a fair fight.
I wasnt going to use all my strength against my past self, who only had 20 years of experience.
I limited my strength to his level, and I decided not to use my skills.
Naturally, [Original Sin] was also sealed.
However, I couldnt do anything about the experience I had gathered thus far.
It was really enormous.
It wasnt even initially mine. I gained it from the space heroes I absorbed while they served as Fugitive Seniors decoration in his house.
To name a few
Star Swordsman.
Golden Fang.
Warrior of the Sun.
God of War.
The Sage of Six Paths.
Godyer.
Heavenly Demon.
Master Murima.
Swordsman Wuju.
de.
Dark Temr.
I would use their experience in this fight.
Among Fugitive Seniors souvenirs, some were stronger than those mentioned, but only because they possessed superpowers.
They were just ordinary people otherwise.
I immediately shoved aside those kinds of bastards at once, leaving only those who reached superhuman levels through their own efforts alone.
I then handpicked the most prominent ones among the list I chose to keep.
Golden Fang.
God of War.
These two reached the pinnacle of martial arts and could change the course of an entire battle through their superhuman instincts.
Of course, they werent the strongest among those Fugitive Senior assembled. They didnt have any special abilities, after all.
Regardless, I skillfullybined their knowledge and skills, making them my own.
I didnt forget the experience of Fantasys local inhabitants were also mine now, either directly or indirectly.
This was my weapon.
Observing my fighting stance, Kang Han Soo asked, Martial arts? Arent you going to use your mace?
Should I start, or would you like to go first?
Ill choose thetter, I guess. Studying me, my opponent didntunch a surprise attack. However, he took the initiative nheless.
WZZZZZ!
He extended his hand forward, firing a beam of light forward from the hilt of Boris lightsaber.
It was just an ordinary thrust.
However, his 200mm de bing 2000mm at the speed of light made quite a huge difference.
Those who had never encountered such advanced technology would die instantly from it.
Sh*t! I instinctively cursed.
The reason why Fugitive Senior, who escaped his uncontroble harem, was able to defeat these noble space heroes was simple.
He used overwhelming superpowersbined with advanced science.
But that was precisely my problem.
It would be unwise to block a lightsaber whose des temperature reached 8000 degrees Celsius with my bare hands. I would fare better against Fantasys fire sword, which was cutepared to his weapon.
Pop!
I summoned the mace of justice in front of me to block his attack, although all that did was create a temporary solution to my predicament. If Kang Han Soo twisted his wrist slightly, his beam would incinerate me.
I had very little time.
Unlike Kang Han Soo, however, I was a martial artist. That momentary gap was enough.
Without fear of the lightsaber, I extended my right hand forward.
Kang Han Soo calmly turned his wrist to cut it off immediately, but that was exactly what I was waiting for.
I hit the ground with my right foot.
I couldnt knock him off his feet, but I caused sand to rise into the air.
That was the lightsabers only weakness.
Due to the particles prating it, its de failed to form properly, even though itsted for just a split second.
Bang!
However, Kang Han Soo was not an idiot either.
PZZ!
With his weapon disabled, he took advantage of that opening byunching a kick to my side, aiming to cause a hernia between my 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.
Arrogant young man!
That was his mistake!
Ha-a!
What?!
His surprise was clear evidence of his overconfidence in his technique, which wasnt a Fantasy skill.
Bang!
My punch hit my target.
I wanted to continue my attack, but his lightsaber got in my way again.
WZZZ!
Kang Han Soo swung it forward, creating an obstacle and, ultimately, space between us.
I immediately stepped back, but he didnt go after me.
Thats really annoying.
His weapon was too difficult to handle.
It couldnt destroy my mace, but it couldnt be blocked with a mere stick either.
I could, of course, use a shield, but then that would guarantee my victory.
After all, I was God, and Kang Han Soo was a human being.
This whole fight was a production I directed in my attempt to defeat Kang Han Soo by pretending to be human.
In that way, I promoted fairness.
However, Master Mons disciple proved difficult to defeat with this method.
A fair fight was what I desired, but did I give myself too many handicaps?
Fight me using conventional weapons.
This is science.
Hmm! Well, you asked for it.
It was time to use the power of the passing fanatic, as I introduced myself.
I beheld the power of religion!
Pop!
I recalled my mace and reced it with the robe of justice.
I would defeat him with my bare hands!
Come at me.
Kang Han Soo didnt charge in. Instead, he just waved his hand.
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
Numerous spirits began to circle around him.
I dont like this.
The earth spirits set off an earthquake, upsetting my equilibrium.
The water spirits then moistened the soil, turning it into viscous mud to bind my feet, while the wind spirits removed air resistance around Kang Han Soo to speed up his movements.
Simultaneously, the fire spirits increased the airs temperature around me.
As it became more difficult to breathe, smoke permeated to block my view.
That wasnt all.
Kang Han Soo! Kang Han Soo!
Forward! Kang Han Soo!
Kang Han Soo! Kang Han Soo!
Wow!
The soul spirits incited the public to cheer for him.
Even loyal followers of Mons Teachings were deceived by their power, causing them to praise Kang Han Soo.
I felt betrayed. The spirits hadnt attacked me since my 1st round.
These little scoundrels!
This is the power of friendship.
Damn it!
My past self took the opportunity to pounce at me, aiming his lightsaber at my face.
Arching backward, I dodged his offensive thenunched my right leg upward as hard as I could, hitting the grip of his sword.
Tsk
Kang Han Soo immediately released his lightsaber summon.
It was a rather fragile weapon, after all.
Unlike regr swords, if its hilt, which produced its de of light, was broken, it could no longer be repaired unless brought to Shakespeare at the Western Continent. Until then, however, it was rendered useless.
I immediately rewarded him with a barrage of punches.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
With my superior martial arts and experience, I probably wouldve won instantly if not for the evil spirits that refused to let it happen.
I fought back, but over time their number increased rather than decrease.
How vile! You treat spirits like ves!
They are not ves, but workers.
Shameless bastard!
You really interest me. Are you really human?
Cant you see my race?
I was definitely in a dire situation, but the spirits couldnt prate my robe of justice.
However, they soon flew to the side as Kang Han Soo roared.
Hear me, Sword of the End, ruined by Chaos and reforged on the Stars of Oblivion! I hereby dere that I remember your sacred name and praise you for your de that cuts the bonds of meaningless friendship and love! Awaken from your slumber and prove that our legendary alliance has existed since time immemorial! Come forth and serve me once more, Holy Sword Nucleon!
sh!
The Holy Sword that could cut even the Demon Lord in half appeared, borrowed from the Elf Hero on Earth.
Witnessing it pop into existence, I experienced a slight headache.
How was I supposed to defeat him with human strength alone?
Holy Sword Nucleon could slice through even my robe of justice.
I needed other means to retaliate against him.
But were there any?
No.
This was all about perfection.
I became God by getting rid of 99.99% of my ws and achieving perfection.
With that part of me sealed, only 0.01% remained of me.
Right now, I was fighting with only those crumbs. That alone didnt give me enough strength.
Whats wrong? Do you give up?
Dont rush me.
Even though I had be a martial artist, it would be absurd to think I could confront and deflect Holy Sword Nucleon with my bare hands.
If so, then I only had one option left.
I activated my profession.
? Job: Apostle (Patronage = Ability)
It had a bit of a catch.
I introduced myself as the Grand Inquisitor of Mons Teachings from the very beginning, but I actually professed the religion of the Great Child.
The reason was simple.
It made it easier for me to draw and use strength since the love of my alter ego(God) for me(man) was infinite.
That patronage gave me a boost so tremendous it allowed me to move ten times faster, easily ovee all the spirits that served as my obstacles, and imbue even more power into my fists.
Bam!
Kh! Youve finally activated that job of yours.
Kang Han Soo, blocking my attack with his Holy Sword, was sent flying backward.
Despite his imminent defeat, however, curiosity filled his gaze, not despair.
He wondered where this would lead.
Give up.
Is that a joke?
Have it your way.
I rushed at him again.
I couldnt give him time to think.
However
Fshuh!
I will show you the power of justice!
What about all that youve said about retirement?
Well, then lets call it the wings of love instead.
Whats with the baby names?
On his back appeared the Righteous Heros Wings, which posed a much greater danger than Holy Sword Nucleon itself.
Haaaaa!
Haaaaa!
Kang Han Soo and I collided again.
At that moment, the winner was determined.
Chapter 364 - [25th Round] Unpopular Guy
Chapter 364 - [25th Round] Unpopr Guy
I give up.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Hmm
I couldnt believe what I just heard.
Kang Han Soo, who had been attacking me tirelessly since he spread his Righteous Heros Wings, suddenly announced his surrender.
I didnt even have an overwhelming advantage.
? Job: Brave (All around = Level 1)
Fantasy-based stats had be useless due to the effect of Brave, after all.
He had lost his lightsaber, and his Righteous Heros Wings were under the threat of osteoporosis, preventing him from using them recklessly.
However, he still had the Holy Sword Nucleon and an army of spirits.
I, on the other hand, could only fight using justice and martial arts.
Why?
Because I value my lower back.
I lived without regrets for 20 years. Only when I lost what was dear to me did I realize I should cherish what I have.
I see.
Lost what was dear to him?
There was no doubt he was talking about Saintess H.
Im already engaged to the Sword Princess anyway. Aside from this battle, I wouldnt lose anything. Its still a bit of a shame, though.
Indeed.
I didnt even have anything to say.
He openly dered defeat.
That was a big change in his personality.
Perhaps this was the very moment when Kang Han Soo became the current me.
*****
As the winner of the tournament, I was given a chance to challenge the Sword Princess, but she had already announced her engagement before that, so there was no longer any point for me to do so.
Kang Han Soo had to pay for ourst drinking binge and all the alcohol I poured into myself after the battle.
Another bottle, I said, sitting in the tavern. I wasnt the only customer, but it was very quiet here.
Ding~?
The door chime rang.
I see youve grown addicted to alcohol, handsome husband.
You brought the baby with you again.
I wasnt nning oning in, but its unexpectedly quiet here.
Yeah
Sidael, our son, only ate and slept all day.
Sometimes he cried because he wet himself, but it neversted long since his butt was cleaned and his diaper changed within 0.5 seconds.
Right now, he was fast asleep.
Are you worried about the marriage of Kang Han Soo and the Sword Princess?
Let me tell you about what I went through when you fell into aa, which shocked my very core. At that point, I immediately grew afraid the whole world would begin to copse, and when I found out I was pregnant with Sidael, the future looked even darker.
Sidael was born on Earth. Do you know why? My mother died, my father disappeared, and my husband, on whom I depended, was in aa. Thats why, out of panic, I went to your mother on your home.
Im sorry.
I made an impulsive decision at the time.
After countless simtions in my head, I was confident Id seed but didnt think about what side effects it might bring, like bing a eunuch or the owner of a cloaca, after achieving perfection.
Therefore, I ignored all of my wifes objections.
Pouring fruit wine into an empty ss, Ssosiel continued.
That got me thinking. Even a year without you was already difficult for me, but what about the Sword Princess? She raised Chris alone for 15 years and even kept him a secret from everyone. For as long as the Hero doesnt regress, her suffering will go on forever. And if the Hero dies, everything will start all over again.
Do you want to get her out of Fantasy?
Thats impossible. My father killed her. The current Sword Princess was created based on a personal file. Thats why she cant live outside the dimension of Fantasy.
I know.
I understood what she was trying to say.
Ssosiel wanted to give the Sword Princess, who was always suffering, a husband.
My past self, Kang Han Soo, would be perfect for that role.
Can you create a separate dimension for her?
Perhaps she could live in an independent Fantasy world.
She shook her head.
Her soul isnt a character in aputer game. Created from the huge amount of information in her personal file, she exists in all dimensions of Fantasy. To do what you desire, wed need to apply a scenario where shed die immediately after birth In all worlds but one.
Fuck
Dont swear in front of our baby.
Perhaps this is hypocrisy, but somewhere in the world of Fantasy, every time the Hero regresses, a woman appears who is brutally abused by goblins and then killed. Compared to her, the Sword Princess is in a far better state. However, Im not an all-powerful god. Im just a jealous, cowardly woman. Nevertheless, I want the Sword Princess to be happy.
Are there other options?
I can erase her memories of you. That way, shell continue her lonely life.
From Ssosiels perspective, the Sword Princess was nothing more than aponent of Fantasy.
However, she wished her happiness.
All she needed was my permission.
Do what you see fit.
Thank you.
At that moment, my sister, sitting on my cowardly wifes shoulder, interrupted our conversation.
Thats mean, niece.
How so?
You skillfully got rid of a strong rival. You must never be as mean as your mother, Sidael.
Hey!
Heeheehee! Lets raise a toast, my niece. For eliminating rivals and strengthening your position as my brothers first wife!
That sounds strange! Dont treat me like a viin!
Cheers! Heeheehee!
Auntie!
Waaah!
Ah?!
My little son, awakened by his mothers screams, began to cry.
So Ssosiel and my sister immediately rushed tofort him.
As for me
I poured more fruit wine in my empty ss and, raising it to the light of the stars in the universe, said, Cheers!
I wished nothing but happiness for Kaisa Kureil, who loved me.
*****
Kang Han Soo, having fulfilled his desire to settle down, left ddins party.
The same event happened in the other parallel dimensions as well, albeit several years apart.
I couldnt get the Sword Princess, but this is my world now!
Can we still do this? There are only three of us left
Even though Kang Han Soos ns for our adventure were terrifying, he made it possible for us to progress without problems.
Unlike ddin, who was overjoyed at the departure of Kang Han Soo, the very person who was leading their journey, the two female heroes with him were ufortable.
I was also a little worried.
But he wasnt Sieg, who died on the 1st floor
Everything will be alright.
I think ddin will be fine.
I agree. All we have to do is avoid recklessness.
Exactly.
Theres enough of us, too.
Thepanions Kang Han Soo diligently recruited also voiced out their thoughts.
Saintess A, Sage, Tomato, Sylvia
They supported the pitiful Hero ddin, frankly delighted by the departure of their boss.
My 1st round immediately came to mind.
But things didnt go as they hoped.
Ladies and gentlemen, did you miss me?
What?
K-Kang Han Soo?!
Why?!
Why are you here
Upon seeing Kang Han Soo, who was wearing a luxurious travel suit, the heroes and theirpanions were filled with confusion.
And he wasnt alone.
Hello, I am Kaisa Kureil, but you can call me Sword Princess. Honeymoon seems like a luxury during these difficult times, so I decided to keep youpany for a while instead. Please forgive us if we be a little noisy at night
Seriously
Um
God
How frank.
A powerful couple joined their party.
At that moment, the heroes adventure became a part of their honeymoon.
Kang Han Soos rtionship with the Sword Princess had always been intense, both on the battlefield during the day and in a sleeping bag at night.
This went on for three whole years.
I wish you the best of luck, my dearrades.
Thank you for yourpany.
The couple announced their retirement from the party in front of the Demon Lords Tower.
Afterward, they held each others hands and headed north.
As for the remaining heroes party
Are we finally free?
Those were troubling times
I just hope my insomnia will pass
They hugged, rejoicing at the event.
They decided to take a year off to help the vigers situated around the Demon Lords Tower.
One year smoothly turned into two years. Two years became three years, and three years became five years
The reason was simple.
She started having morning sickness.
I think Im pregnant.
I promised to marry the princess.
Hero ddin broke his promise to start a family only after defeating the Demon Lord.
From that moment on, their team fell apart like dominoes.
But they couldnt postpone the battle forever.
? Warning: Hero! Please hurry! Demon Lord Parmamon will soon regain his strength! If you dont dare fight him, the beautiful world of Fantasys hopes and dreams will be obliterated!
That was caused by a new system rule, which stated that the world would be destroyed even if the Hero didnt die.
There was no exact time limit, considering it increased slightly when they defeated strong monsters or gained achievements.
However, as soon as the countdown began, the Hero should immediately start climbing the tower. Otherwise
Viciousness D Viciousness C
Just like the Karma skill, the Viciousness skills rank would increase, heightening the overall negative effects of the world.
The higher its rank, the more its owner would be betrayed by their friends and loved ones.
Perhaps its worth the trip.
Hero ddin, who did nothing but have fun for the past years, finally left the princesss ass alone and began his ascent through the floors of the tower.
Silently, Disco and Green Cake set out after him, but they didnt expect much results.
? Was your adventure exciting, Dear Hero?
? The path of a true hero is indeed perilous. However, many rtionships supported you through your journey, and you did not lose hope or lose track of your goal. You grew and learned of friendship and love. In the end, however, you still couldnt defeat the Demon Lord. We truly feel sorry for you!
? Lets take a look at your grades.
There was nothing to see here.
After all, ddin, abandoned by hispanions, surrendered halfway through himself.
It was only thanks to Green Cake that he was able to get to the 10th floor, but he never saw the 11th.
This was the result.
? Please check your report card thoroughly!
? Name: ddin
? Combat Power: A-
? Achievements: C +
? Reputation: D
? Personality: B
? Record: 10th Floor
It was a pitiful sight.
Although his grades were better than Sieg, who died on the first floor, hecked a sense of purpose.
Unsurprisingly, ddin shamelessly chose regression, but I refused to let him go so easily.
Wife!
I brought down justice upon him!
For a hero like him, such luxury was impermissible.
Karma C Karma SSS
Good luck!
From now on, he would be treated like a dog.
***
The second inspection had finished.
However, the interim results of it were so dismal I already lost all hope.
Was this aplete failure?
As ast resort, I nned to save my cowardly wife and my child by letting them escape to Earth. I was prepared to face the punishment alone.
Disco smiled, From what Ive seen, the results are already obvious. And Ive seen a lot.
I didnt deny anything.
This was what I became a perfect god for, after all.
I had already finished my preparations to get my wife and son out of here.
Now what?
I will give the Demon Lord a choice. Ill give you an extra point if you apany me calmly and without any nonsense. Naturally, it would beplete surveince. Of course, there would be no penalty if you refuse. The choice is yours. What do you think?
From my perspective, it was clear she wanted to establish control over me to prevent me from running away.
Do what you want.
I had no intention of escaping in the first ce.
Now I was more interested in the next student to be chosen at random.
I dont like the fact that Ive only picked students who cant control their primal instincts so far. This time, Ill choose the student least popr with women.
Hmm
I wasnt going to defend Sieg and ddin, but how could I count on a pathetic hero who wasnt even popr with women?
That wasnt a random choice!
As the Righteous Demon Lord, I decided to challenge Discos vile choice
Its Satan.
I object
I stopped abruptly.
There was no corrtion between poprity and skills.
I had no objection to her random selection.
Chapter 365 - [25th Round] Hero Satan
Chapter 365 - [25th Round] Hero Satan
The third and final inspection didnt start immediately.
To apany the Hero from the very beginning, instead of interfering in the middle of their adventure, we had to wait for him to regress.
Hmm? Have you gotten rid of your motley powers?
Yeah, I tidied up a bit.
We remained on standby in the waiting room until Satan returned to the starting point.
In fact, the 100th floor of the Demon Lords Tower was nothing more than avish reception area with living quarters.
Disco spent most of her time looking around through a telescope on the terrace.
Although the Heroes Ive inspected have disappointed me, I really like this world, She said out of nowhere. The inhabitants of Fantasy live happily and without fear even though their world could be destroyed in an instant.
What kind of destruction are we talking about?
s and dimensions are erased from existence more easily and frequently than you probably think. Even with one wave of her pillow, an innocent goddess could ignore causality and cause the microcosm to disappear without a trace. That is the truth behind the fragile universe we live in.
That sounds ridiculous.
Destruction of the world with a wave of a pillow?
The microcosm that Disco was talking about seemed to be made of paper.
She smiled bitterly.
Indeed, but as ridiculous as it sounds, it is nothing short of our reality. Even if deities were to stop obliterating worlds, they still often instantly perish due to natural phenomena.
And how is this rted to the happiness of Fantasys inhabitants?
Think of the difference between knowing and not knowing that you live in a house built on the edge of a cliff. In this sense, this worlds locals live in ecstasy brought by ignorance.
I guess.
This story wasnt useful to me, so I didnt attach much importance to it.
As I waited for the third inspection to begin, I rxed, caressing Ssosiels pelvis while she was caring for our little son.
But the wait took longer than I thought.
? Satan: Ive now passed the 70th floor, where, as I said before, the former Demon Lord Pedonar resides. Im now moving to the 80th floor.
? Zeus: You make it sound like youre out for a walk in the park.
? Ah: Please upload a photo confirming your words, Satan ^^
? Luke: Senior Satan, I would really appreciate it if you could post a detailed guide in themunity.
? Odin: Do you actually believe him?
Hero Satan prevailed against the 70th Floor Boss, albeit with difficulty.
He then slowly and carefully climbed from the 71st to the 80th floor.
Hopefully, he wouldnt make it to 100th.
I was already looking forward to his defeat.
Would you like some popcorn, husband?
Sure.
I watched Satan challenge the 80th-floor boss while eating popcorn.
The boss of the 80th floor was himself.
Its appearance, abilities, and equipment were aplete copy of what Satan had.
But that wasnt all.
The power of friendship!
The 80th-floor boss who copied the Hero hadpanions.
Fallen Saint Z.
Fallen Mage Z.
Fallen Warrior Z.
Fallen Assassin Z.
Fallen Archer Z.
Not only were they extremely powerful, but they showed great coordination and role distribution.
Archer Z attacked from afar, Mage Z used medium-ranged spells, yer Z exuded violence in meleebat, Warrior Z defended the entire group, and Saint Z was responsible for healing and resurrection.
Their teamwork was wless!
As for Satan
Hmm
This situation is quite dangerous, sir Satan, said the great explorer Green Cake, who now looked like a muscr guy due to Satans tastes.
He chose that image over a beautiful woman because of the great importance the Hero attached to efficiency.
Try to hold out until I defeat my copy.
I will do my best.
I wont take long.
They seem to have already noticed that youre in a hurry though. Your copy most likely understands your thoughts better than anyone.
Good luck.
***
? Satan: The 80th-floor boss is your clone, and its supported by five individuals fulfilling various roles.
? Ah: Dont lie. That sounds ridiculous.
? Zeus: His imagination never ceases to amaze me.
? Odin: Sounds interesting.
? Isis: Did you manage to defeat the 80th-floor boss, senior?
Excuse me, Hero, are you listening to me?
Yeah. You want me to stop Demon Lord Parmamon before he fully resurrects.
I was worried because you were fiddling with your little magic tool, but thank you very much for your attention. I am the first princess of the Holy Empire Hero? Are you listening to me?
I am.
Upon failing to break through the 80th floor, Hero Satan regressed back to the Holy Empire on the Central Continent to start his journey from scratch once more.
He immediately prepared to leave the capital of the Holy Empire, but that alone proved difficult.
Karma D Karma C
The disgusting skill my cowardly wife introduced in the 4th curriculum never rolled back. Instead, its negative effects on the Heros reputation and the locals conviction and attitude towards them only worsened with each restart.
Please wait, Hero.
Youre more vignt this time. I have no intention of abandoning the empire to its fate, princess. Im trying to prepare in advance precisely because I know what future awaits it.
You know the future?
Yes. You most likely wont believe me, but let me tell you a little about it.
Ah
Hero Satan did not hide the fact that he regressed, but rather, he actively took advantage of this.
Were the other heroes really so stupid they couldnt think of such an effective method?
Not really.
? Race: Human of Infinity
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Harmony G, Divinity ZZZ, Dark Energy ZZZ, Spirit ZZ, Fabrication ZZ, Strength ZZ, Immunity Z, Dexterity Z, Incitement Z, Recovery Z, Five Senses Z, Reputation Z, Favor Z, Inspiration Z, Luck Z, Wisdom MAX
? Status: Sacred Relic, Blessing
Although he only had a small number of skills, he was by no means weak.
Hero Satan used ZZZ-rank Divinity and ZZZ-rank Dark Energy in perfect equilibrium through his Harmony skill, which had reached the realm of gods.
I used to enjoy a simr effect caused by my Chaos skill, but his Harmony was much better in terms of safety.
Naturally, he utilized Fabrication and Incitement for his speeches.
His skills were well-bnced.
We need to figure out a way to join Satan naturally.
My wife will take care of it.
Alright. Ill trust her then.
Dont expect much from her.
Hero Satan used various auxiliary skills topensate for Karma and further convinced the princess.
After that, he leisurely left the capital and began to act autonomously.
Of course, he didnt just wander blindly.
Raising his gaze to the heavens, he roared.
Great explorer Green Cake! I know you want to be recognized by your father! If you help me with my adventure, I will give you advice to help you fulfill your dream!
I cant just ignore such a persuasive proposal.
Since you showed up so quickly, can I take it as your approval?
Yes, but this confuses me a little. I know very little about you, but you already know me so well.
I fought shoulder to shoulder with you and was defeated on the 80th floor of the Demon Lords Tower.
80th floor! Oh, thats a pity my adopted son skillfully answered.
Every time he regressed with the Hero, Green Cakes memories disappeared, but he received all the information he needed through his monphone.
Of course, that was a secret.
The students who considered him as their guide andpanion werent aware of that.
I gathered manypanions and challenged the Demon Lords tower. I made it that far by sacrificing them, but during myst ythrough, I learned the 80th floor can only be beaten by reducing the number of my partys casualties to a minimum.
I see. This time, you want to make every effort to ensure that not only you, but also yourpanions survive.
Exactly.
Satan exined his n to Green Cake.
Having overheard his skillful nning, I calmed down.
Finally! A real hero!
It felt like the wounds Sieg and ddin left on my heart had been healed.
Hes an exemry hero, and hes already climbed all the way to the 80th floor. Am I correct in assuming he has the highest marks in the entire Fantasy Institution?
Im not sure. You should ask my wife instead.
Perhapster. We need to focus on joining his party right now.
We thought wed meet him somewhere along his way, as if it was a coincidence, but Ssosiel offered us another way.
Unlike the other heroes who had mountains of exploitable ws, Satan was too clever and cautious. He would ask questions and immediately notice inconsistencies.
Hence, he received a prophecy instead.
This is the first time Ive experienced this
Thats not at all surprising. The goddess, remembering your previous ythrough, seems to praise you so highly for your valiant efforts that shes left you a message.
You will meet unusualpanions that are aware of your regression.
She didnt say anything about when or where wed meet them, but doesnt this just mean that when the right timees, they will appear before us themselves?
That assumption is most likely correct.
Hero Satan epted Green Cakes exnation without any hesitation.
The theme for the 80th floor waspanions.
The goddess, deciding that he was defeated due to hisck ofrades, decided to send powerful individuals to help him.
That was exactly what Satan concluded.
I havent met him yet, but I can already feel my broken heart healing while watching him.
I agree.
I didnt like the fact that I shared the same thoughts with Disco, but I didnt dare deny such an obvious fact.
Student Satan seems to have epted our existence. Lets stop spying and quickly join him. She said.
We will when its convenient.
Finding that right moment proved difficult, however.
There wouldve been no problem if he just stopped somewhere, but he seemed to be ying tag with us.
Using the Spatial Transportation Magic Circle of the Holy Empires Wizard Tower, he instantly traveled to Port D of the Trade Republic, located to the east of the Central Continent.
Naturally, it was to recruit apanion.
In the harbor, Hero Satan approached a man waiting for a ship bound for the Southern Continent.
Hero Satan approached him, addressing him:
Sir Kang Han Soo.
You know me?
I do. Even your future. Would you like to join my adventure? If you do, Ill make your wishe true. If you think Im lying, you can break my spine at any moment.
Thats an interesting offer, junior. Alright. Ill listen to what you have to say.
Kang Han Soo usually was the one who went to his junior, meeting them during their adventure to help out.
Of course, that wasnt a coincidence.
Green Cake was the mastermind behind such meetings, acting upon his desire to travel with me.
But Satan chose to act first.
He tracked down Kang Han Soo and encouraged him to join his party.
I will arrange for you to meet the woman you love.
Haha! You guessed wrong. I want to go home.
The reason you want to go home is because the family you love is waiting for you there. Am I wrong?
Youre right.
In the past, you asked me, If you ever regress and meet me again, help me realize my true desire sooner. Its time I fulfill that request.
Whats your name?
Satan. I dream of breathing life into my native.
Okay. I believe you. However, can I really meet a woman whom I love so much to the point where I would forget about my own home? Oh! Could you tell me her name?
Thats a secret. Letting you know ahead of time will change the future.
Ha! Youre a strange hero!
I suppose I am.
I just realized it now.
Was I going to have to watch Kang Han Soo and the Sword Princesss honeymoon every day?
Disco interrupted my thoughts.
We should join him now before we lose him, Adam.
Adam?
Its your alias You cant introduce yourself as Parmamon, can you? Im Eve. Were twins. Do you have any objections?
No. Suit yourself.
Adam and Eve.
The couple thatmitted the first sin.
It was hard to dismiss it as a coincidence since it matched my divine power [Original Sin] so well, but I kept quiet about it to avoid making a fuss.
It didnt matter what my pseudonym was at this point.
Id have to watch Kang Han Soo and the Sword Princess flirt.
Tough days wereing.
Follow me, Adam. I cant wait to meet the perfect embodiment of the word Hero.
Dont talk too much.
I was already used to the fact that if one were to expect something too hard, everything was bound to go wrong.
Pretending to be siblings, we approached Hero Satan.
Chapter 366 - [25th Round] Revaluation
Chapter 366 - [25th Round] Revaluation
Its a pleasure to meet you, prophesiedpanions. Im Satan. I fight to defeat Demon Lord Parmanon and restore my homnd.
Im Adam.
And Im Eve.
That was the end of our performance.
I didnt say any more than what I had to since I could be punished if I blurted out something unnecessary, and Disco kept interference to a minimum for fairness-rted reasons.
Such a brief introduction might have been offensive, but Hero Satan greeted us with a joyous smile anyway.
To get past the 80th floor of the Demon Lords Tower, I n to visit all continents, starting from the central one, and hire strongpanions along the way. To be honest, I dont know how long it will take.
Thats okay.
We dont mind.
After briefly describing the route to us, we headed to the Holy Kingdom for Saintess A.
Since she would only join the party if the Hero presented a Holy Sword to her, Satan turned to Kang Han Soo for help.
We have the Holy Sword Nucleon.
Hear me, Sword of the End, ruined by Chaos and reforged on the Stars of Oblivion! I hereby dere that I remember your sacred name and praise you for your de that cuts the bonds of meaningless friendship and love! Awaken from your slumber and prove that our legendary alliance has existed since time immemorial! Come forth and serve me once more, Holy Sword Nucleon!
Getting a Holy Sword was necessary to pass her test, but he quickly resolved that issue since he hired my past self.
That put Saintess A at a loss.
Um, what is that
A Holy Sword, as you requested. Will you keep your promise?
Certainly, but keep in mind that in this case, I will follow Kang Han Soo, not Satan.
I know.
Disliking Satans careless answer, she frowned slightly, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Her task was to apany the Hero wielding the Holy Sword.
Good job.
I am not worthy of your praise, senior.
Why do you call me senior? I only have 20 years of experience in the world of Fantasy.
Its not about who enrolled first. You deserve seniority over me since you defeated the Demon Lord faster than I did. You also graduated after only twenty years, which is why I cant help but respect you even more.
Wow
Sumbing to hispliments, the corner of Kang Han Soos lips curved upward.
I felt ashamed of myself!
Satan was effective in every move he made.
When Saintess A joined the party, Tomato, themander of the holy knights, immediately followed her.
Two strongpanions at once.
Breaking the usual sequence of actions, Hero Satan first recruited Saintess A then easily got Holy Sword A, dramatically reducing the difficulty level of his mission.
I already predicted this by peeking into Sieg and ddins monphones, but hes really talented. I didnt expect the person most unpopr with women to be acting this way.
Such is the way of the world.
What he said was even more unexpected. He remains celibate for his wife waiting for him in his homnd The system mistook him as unpopr, but the truth is he just refuses everyone.
Thats only natural for a hero.
I could only specte, but if I had a woman who promised me a happy future before I was kidnapped, I would have kept my chastity as well.
I have a lot to say about your statement, but nows not the right time.
Whats your assessment at the moment?
If were talking about Hero Satan alone, then right now, Its S, the highest grade. If the other students are at least half as good as him, theres no need to worry about this institution.
Thats a surprisingly honest answer.
And thats a very offensive remark. Monsoft isnt some kind of corporate hunter who suppresses opponents by force. If wee to the conclusion that the Fantasy Institution is functioning properly, we wont interfere with it and even invest more into it than we already have.
Well, well see when the timees.
Hero Satan easily recruited Saintess A, Holy Knight Tomato, and even Aqua.
Brave A and Brave B, Fugitive Seniors descendants, also joined us.
Our next destination was the Northern Continent.
I dont think Im ready to go on an adventure
Does this mean Shakespeare from the Western Continent is superior to you?
I never said that, Hero!
But thats the conclusion anyone would reach. Youre the one who said you cant join my adventure since youre not good enough
Alright! Iming!
Thank you for making the right decision.
Ah geez.
Sage immediately agreed to join the party the moment Satan wounded his pride.
He passed out due to nosebleeds every time he saw Discos bare thighs, but his magic was helpful.
After that
Go away, Hero. Youll get hurt if youe near me.
Isnt there a way to gain control over your power so you can be freed of your captivity here in the snowy mountains, Ice Princess?
There is, but it requires Ah! It cant be. That staff
Yes, its Sages staff. Ill lend it to you until you gain control of your power.
Ah!
The Ice Princess joined Satans squad.
He wasnt done yet.
Yaoooooooh!
The culprit of the Ice Princesss rampage appeared.
A giant with a cats face.
In my 1st and 2nd rounds, I wasnt aware of his true identity.
But now, with the heroes sharing information with each other, even the strategy for killing him had been revealed.
It should be easy
Everyone! we must capture the fallen ancient King of Beasts. I repeat! We must subdue, not murder him!
Yaoooooooooooh!
Please avoid engaging inbat against him, Ice Princess, and focus your mind on locking him up in your soul instead. Do not fear death. Saintess, take care of her. She will die seven times. Dont panic and resurrect her immediately.
Yaoooooh!
Catching the feline giant proved difficult due to its domineering size.
Ultimately, however, he fell against the vile power of friendship.
The Ice Princess then trapped him and his Power of Chaos in her soul, turning him into nothing more than a source of energy she could use.
In doing so, she became a hundred times stronger.
Staring at Satan, her eyes sparkled.
How can I thank you for this, Hero?
Lend me your power.
As you wish. If you want, Ill even lend you my body
Just your power is enough.
Huh? Okay
Without sumbing to the temptations of the empowered Ice Princess, Satan led us to our next destination, the ce where Holy Sword C was sealed.
Wee, Hero. I am the keeper of the Holy Sword Monrod. If you can lure me out of this pond, I will give you the Holy Sword. Let me give you a piece of advice: you can never get it with brutal violence. The freshwater mermaid, who chatted with Holy Sword C all day, said.
I know.
Then impress me with your song
Freeze this pond, Ice Princess.
Hoho! A clever move, but, unfortunately for you, this pond is not just an ordinary puddle Huh? Hmmm?!
I knew from the very beginning that its unusual, but it means nothing to mypanion now that shes inherited the King of Beastss power.
Thats absurd!
The freshwater mermaid gave up and handed over Holy Sword C to Satan before itpletely froze over.
The spirit of a hero from the past contained within it provided its new owner with guidance.
I thought of it as useless, but that apparently wasnt the case for others.
Its good to see you again, Celebras. Yes, I know you. Youre the friend of the noble spirit. Share your wisdom with me. Haha! Thank you very much! Repeated exnations are not needed, however. Im counting on your support from here on out.
Holding Holy Sword C in his hands, Satan constantly spoke as if talking to an invisible ghost.
For others, he looked like a psychopath, but he didnt care.
Our next target was the Sword Princess, located in Duke Qs estate.
At least that was what I thought. However, reality turned out differently.
Kang Han Soo entered the tournament at Satans request and easily won, thus bing engaged to the Sword Princess. However, they didnt go on their honeymoon.
Good morning. I am Chris Kureil. Ill be joining your party in Kang Han Soos stead now that hes left you. I look forward to cooperating with you.
He sent his son, who interfered with his family life.
This was also Satans work.
Kang Han Soo and the Sword Princess would be of great help on his adventure, but they didnt climb the Demon Lords Tower with the party and instead would leave just before.
Not wanting to lose his mother, Haris challenged Kan Han Soo but was defeated. He then fell for Satans sweet If you follow me, you will be stronger speech.
In principle, this was true.
Thats an interesting idea he came up with
This is wonderful. I dont know whatlle next, but hes shown nothing but outstanding talent so far.
Disco, who kept her mouth shut during Sieg and ddins adventures, couldnt seem to stop praising Satan.
In total, three Holy Swords had been collected, but that number was again reduced to two due to the absence of Kang Han Soo, the wielder of Holy Sword Nucleon.
After that, Satan stopped by the Mons Teachings headquarters and recruited Saintess C, using Holy Sword C to pass her test.
A problem arose immediately, however.
Hero, please only choose one of us.
I agree. We cant both apany you.
Saintesses A and C forced the Hero to make a choice.
It looked like they were pestering him, asking, Who do you like better between us?
To which Satan replied, I have to think about it.
The next day too.
I havent decided yet.
And even after a few days.
Its hard to choose.
Over and over again
Dying the decision, he dragged the two with him until they got ustomed to working together, at which point he said, I have decided. I am the owner of Monrod. And Celebras, the Hero who lives in Monrod, is the owner of Automania. With two Holy-Sword-equipped heroes in our party, there should be no problem having two Saintesses apany us. Do you have any objections?
No.
I see
They expressed their dissatisfaction, but after spending so much time together, they nevertheless agreed.
The difference between having just one and two of their kind was enormous.
With just one of them, if she died, a series of casualties would follow. She couldnt be resurrected either.
With two Saintesses, even if one of them were to die in battle or an ident, the other could resurrect her with ease and maintain the party during her temporary absence.
I was speechless. It was that amazing.
This was well documented in his personal file.
? Type: Personal file
? Name: Satan
? Alignment: True Neutral
? Main quality: Sanity
? Experience: 2019 years
? Record: 43
? Overall Rating: A pessimist and a realist, he harbors no hopes or dreams. Due to his aloofness, he always finds himself arguing against his righteouspanions, causing his party to disintegrate, ultimately leading to his failure to defeat the Demon Lord. However, due to a certain student and the revision of the educational policy, their attitude towards him has changed.
Having survived prejudice and persecution from the faculty members, Hero Satan finally saw the light at the end of the dark tunnel.
Sage, Ice Princess, Saint C, Haris, God of War, Brave C, Brave D
He recruited many strongpanions from the Northern Continent, and he did so without discrimination. As a result, the size of his party doubled.
Satan didnt get along withpanions?
That wasnt even funny.
I have no words. Im surprised that such an excellent student hasnt yet graduated from school I wish theres more like him.
Hmm
If Disco looked around, there might be one or two more.
Without slowing down, Satan traveled to the rest of the continents, hiring newpanions.
And finally
People! The time hase to take over Elmondo, an aerial fortress inhabited by hypocritical angels!
Satan! Satan! Satan!
Yeah!
Long live Satan!
Hero Satan and his party invaded Second Angel Bananaels territory, not the Demon Lords Tower.
Bang!
Bam!
A fierce battle ensued.
Bananael was strong, but he also had a limit.
Parmaels third offspring, Potatoel, was in the Demon Lords Tower, and I couldnt even remember where her second offspring, Umamiel, was.
Regardless, he defeated Bananael using the power of friendship, thus greatly improving hispanions equipment.
Standing in the center of Elmondo, Hero Satan raised his Holy Sword C into the air and finally eximed, To the Demon Lords Tower!
To end his 19-year-long journey
It was time to wee him to my abode!
Chapter 367 - [25th Round] The Power of Friendship!
Chapter 367 - [25th Round] The Power of Friendship!
Impressive
A tremendous 19 years.
Very fewpanions managed to apany me from the beginning to the end of my adventures.
However, all of Hero Satanspanions survived, and even those who left the party for personal, familial, and other reasons still appeared on the promised day.
I would call them all dummies if I werent paying attention, but I decided to take a closer look since there was already a decisive offensive ahead.
[Scouts]
Green Cake: My Adopted Child (Son or Daughter)
Adam: Me
Eve: Despicable Inspector
Dungeon King: Dungeon Trap Expert
Thief King: Enemy Detection Expert
Archaeologist: Not Lanuvel
Scouts were guides that explored dungeons, terrain, monster habitats, and enemy fortresses ahead of the main force so they could lead them along the safest path.
Disco and I joined this group to minimize our interference with the Heros adventure. Even as scouts, though, we werent particrly useful. All I did was point out the location of the nearest flush toilet.
The remaining four could be considered the real scouts.

Mercenary King: Veteran
Princess of Darkness: Masochist (Female)
Tomato: Fallen Pdin
Earth Knight: Strong Chested Elf
Brave H: Shield Master
Earth Dragon King: Masochist (Dragon)
Wind Dragon King: Evasion Master
Pseudo Demon Lord D: Father-in-Laws Subordinate #4
Tanks were meat shields that attracted the enemys attention and protected the rest of the party with their lives.
Pseudo Demon Lords were bugs left by Pedonar. Satan convinced them to join by saying, Dont you want revenge?
During the 4th curriculum, five elf knights defended the Elf Kings wife, who had seduced her father-inw, but now they were unemployed. Satan found them all and again gathered them into one team.
Even the daring dragon kings were recruited into the party, almost as if it was only natural for them to be involved
[Universals]
Satan: Hero

Chicken Head G: Exhibitionist Angel (Male)
Pseudo Demon Lord Q: Father-in-Laws Subordinate #2
The Universals werent tough enough to be tanks, but their highbat power made them suitable for helping other roles.
This group included stupid dragon kings who charged in like moths to light, thinking they were tanks. Satan used them for strategic purposes.
Haris, who participated instead of Kang Han Soo and the Sword Princess, helped all groups ording to the situation together with the Hero.
He had grown extremely powerful, so much so that he received the title Sword King, like Alex.
Saintess Esrge breasts (pads) seduced Prince Nasus, first in line to the throne, and made him join the squad.
Poor guy.
[Melee Damage Dealers]
Heavenly Demon: Invincible Android (Holy Sword)

The Melee Damage Dealers sacrificed defense to maximize their damage in close range.
They fought face to face with their enemies, relying on the Saintesses for support.
Satan used the Heavenly Demons soul the same way I transferred it from Holy Sword C into Golem D in the past.
[Ranged Damage Dealers]
God of War: Maniac Golem

Brave Q: Seniors Descendant with Elf #2
Snow Queen: Former Representative of the Five Great Disasters
Divine Dragon King: Divinity Enthusiast
Ice Dragon King: Global Warming Instigator
Ranged Damage Dealers (DD) sacrificed defense to maximize their long-range damage output.
There were those who inflicted area damage, obliterating ordinary fighters en masse, and there were snipers who focused on eliminatingmanders-in-chief.
The most dangerous of them was the ve King due to his ability to brainwash his enemies into loyal ves.
Despite the risks, Satan still challenged him, however.
The moment the ve King fell to his knees and agreed to follow him, I couldnt stop myself from feeling awe.
Such was the power of Fabrication and Incitement!
[Healers]
Saintess A: Female-Healing Specialist
Saintess C: Male-Healing Specialist
Saintess E: Dastardly Fake-Breasted Elf
Celestial Dragon King: Body Modifier
Alien G: Android Mechanic
Healers treated wounds or revived allies while staying as far away as possible frombat.
Heroes were usually only apanied by one Saintess.
But Satan recruited all of them, breaking that unwritten rule.
It could be considered the main reason behind the continued increase in the number of hispanions throughout his 19-year-long adventure.
The Aliens, like Alien G, were Fugitive Seniors subordinates sent here to find his ex-wives. They were now hiding across all continents.
Most of them started working under Connoisseur Shakespeare, but some of them remained unemployed.
Would they fight General Red, their boss, if they saw her?

Members of the Support group providedprehensive assistance to the partysbatants.
Their efforts decreased, even minimized, Hero Satans chances of being distracted by trifling matters.
In the end, Satan gathered sixty-sixbatants and thirteen supporters. Including him, their party had a total of 80 members.
That was how many people would enter the Demon Lords Tower.
Forward!
Hero Satan took the lead, his ck cloak fluttering as he headed to the first floor.
Yes!
Lets go!
For Mon!
Glory to the Great Child!
Aaaaaaah!
His seventy-ninepanions followed him, entering my abode in an orderly manner.
*****
The Demon Lords Tower was supposed to be my home, but I was only familiar with its 100th floor.
I had so little information about it that I learned of the Saintesses Resurrection being limited inside it through Sieg.
This floor
Hero Satan didnt rush.
He acted cautiously, taking his time to stop and provide briefings about each floor to reduce the number of injured and killedpanions.
He had always done his best. The only difference this time was that he intended to reach the top floor.
This is problematic.
What do you mean?
I see no chance of escaping the party.
Ah! Right. Due to our 19 years of adventure, Ive forgotten you have your own role to y at the end of it all. If we continue to advance at this rate, well probably reach the upper floors without casualties.
The Demon Lords Tower had 100 floors, but it wasnt thatplicated or difficult except for the boss rooms every 10th floor.
The rest were organized like a theme park, weeding out weaklings and introducing students to diverse environments.
If I really wanted to stop the heroes invasion, I would ce all the bosses on the same floor to avoid letting them get crushed separately.
The reality of our situation was different, however.
We reached the 10th floor.
I am Silerion, this floors guardian. If you want to climb further, you must defeat me, but let me give you a fair warning. I am a true master of the sword. You will find it difficult to
Master of the sword? Thats nothing but an empty phrase. Many swordsmen have fallen by my de. You will be no different.
Chris Kureil. Lets see what youre capable of, Sword King.
The atmosphere seemed to demand they fight one on one.
But Satan didnt allow it.
We need to act quickly and decisively. Stay away from Silerions Holy Sword. It cuts through everything it touches. Fire at will! You dont even have to aim! Just destroy everything around him to prevent him from dodging!
Bang!
Bam!
BOOOOOM!
Fourteen long-ranged fighters began their bombardment.
If the walls of the Demon Lords Tower hadnt been endowed with indestructibility, they would have copsed by now.
Their firepower was that overwhelming!
The 10th-floor boss was quickly killed, leaving behind only the Corrupted Holy Sword Ssosiel provided.
Terrifying.
Despite my over 200 years of experience as both a hero and the Demon Lord, I had never seen such a vile power of friendship.
But that was just the beginning.
One or two casualties wouldnt really hurt his sess rate that much, but Hero Satan reached the 20th floor without losing a single soldier.
Hence, his strategy of employing the power of friendship to cause total domination didnt change.
I named the 20th-floor boss Lord of Death Silvaras, but my cowardly wife said it was too childish. As soon as she became the director, she immediately changed it to Elfhasha.
That was the real name of Silerions wife and Third Elf King Elfheims younger sister.
It wasnt that I remembered it.
However, during Satans briefing, whichsted for a full five hours, I heard that name more than a hundred times, and it was just stuck in my mind now.
I should forget about it in a few days, though.
Kh?!
She was stronger than her husband, so she didnt die.
But could that really be considered a better destiny?
After brutal torture, Elfhasha became the ve Kings ve, betraying the Demon Lord to side with the enemy.
Her immunity to magic didnt help her, considering more than 30batants didnt use magic at all in Satans party. They easily pounced at her and grabbed her.
That scene showed how cruel the power of friendship truly was.
Mon.
I couldnt stop myself from praying for the two fallen bosses.
We soon reached the 30th floor guarded by Boris, considered a dangerous enemy by the monphonemunity. Hero Satan nevertheless attacked him without much thought.
With the help of another android.
Bang!
As soon as Boris was defeated in a one-on-one battle with the Ancient Hero, the aliens reprogrammed him to incorporate him into the Heros party.
Ree-ee-ee-ee!
The 40th-floor boss, Red, angry that her husband had been reprogrammed, wasnt much different.
Hero Satan pointed out in the Monphonemunity guide to provoke Red. Doing so nullified her characteristics and manipted her into fighting in her Dragonian form, which had a much lower weight category.
However, he vited that strategy himself.
Icesssss!
Bleeeeee!
Daaaaaarr!
Vrerreeerrr!
Grooooh!
Ceeiiiighh!
The dragon kings, abandoning their cute transformations, fought in closebat, demonstrating their power of friendship.
As soon as they saw a gap in her defense, they exhaled their Breath all at once towards her.
Reeeeeeeeee?!
Fighting desperately to the bitter end, Red finally copsed.
She managed to swallow the 20th-floor boss Elfhasha, who wasnt that active due to her broken mind and died only afterpletely destroying 30th floor Boris.
Even so, Hero Satans original party members remained unharmed.
He also didnt forget to report constantly.
? Satan: Made it to the 40th floor of the Demon Lords Tower in the tertiary education course with no casualties. Im uploading a photo for the first time. I took this one with my 79panions near the body of General Chromatigus, the guardian of the 40th floor.
? Zeus: Three Saintesses? Thats insane
? Ah: Have youpletely lost your mind?
? Luke: 80 people thats overkill.
? Odin: Get lost, show-off.
? Lucia: Im disappointed, senior Satan.
But no kind words came from the students.
This was unfortunate.
I turned to Satan, who took a deep breath as he looked at the monphonemunity.
Satan, I have a question.
Im listening.
Why are you still trying to help your fellow heroes even though theyve done nothing but insult you so far?
Because I needrades.
Huh?
Did the guy who assembled an entire royal procession of 79panions by himself really just say that?
Chapter 368 - [25th Round] 90th Floor
Chapter 368 - [25th Round] 90th Floor
My home is uninhabitable, both culturally and religiously. Compared to it, the world of Fantasy is a really good ce to live in.
Theres something worse than this world?
It was hard to believe that life somewhere else could be worse than this absurd dimension where the power of love and friendship killed both the strong and the weak.
The world of Fantasy was rotten through and through.
The strong were persecuted because they were strong, and the weak were persecuted because they were weak.
And yet he said his mothend was even worse than this?
Satan smiled bitterly.
Haha My home fell victim to a stupid god. He gave eternal life to the fanatics who worshiped him. Their descendants, too, and the descendants of their descendants As a result, the, once called paradise, turned into a hell that no longer has any free space due to the endlessly growing poption.
That doesnt sound good.
What else could immortal and ageless men and women do? Our poption grows by about 20% annually, slowly but surely destroying our. The natural food chain has been disrupted due to the sky being polluted with methane and carbon dioxide exhaled by humans and the extinction of animals and nts deprived of their habitat. Countries copsed sincews failed. How could they not, when even the death penalty doesnt work on criminals? My races birth rate got out of control as well Before I was summoned to this world, our poption was about eight quadrillion I cant even imagine whats be of my home now that 200 years have passed.
Hmm
Did they look like bacteria?
I would love to see what a human-infested might look like, but if their rule ofw had copsed, their situation definitely wasnt good.
I will return to my home and defeat the god who made hell out of heaven. However, Im going to needrades, for I know I can never win alone against him. As you can see, Im not doing very well
Right.
I believed his desire to save his home was extremely worthwhile.
But his enemy was a deity.
A being who didnt possess divine power couldnt defeat him through mere noble convictions and efforts.
Without external variables, they would lose.
But I couldnt tell him this cruel truth.
Thats an interesting story.
So you were listening too, Eve.
Oh! I apologize if I caused any form of disrespect by overhearing your conversation. However, can I voice out my opinion on this?
Sure. Any advice would be helpful.
If the deity you speak of can indefinitely grant immortality on aary scale, then his rank must be 6 stars or higher Hmm. Thatsparable to the God-Creator of Fantasy or perhaps slightly lower.
Does that mean that he cant be defeated?
No. There are options. However, Hero Satans current n is unlikely to seed. The only way to resist a god is to ascend to godhood yourself or borrow the power of a deity rank higher than him.
Thanks. Ill take note of that.
Hehe.
She seemingly intended to appoint this distinguished student as an Apostle after graduation, luring him to work for Monsoft.
No, she had already recruited him.
Disco already showed her business card, after all.
[Devastation]
Whats that?
Its a power far more useful than therades youre looking for.
I understand it sounds like a diabolic temptation, so think it through.
Then, Adam, are you also a god, like Mistress Eve?
All gazes were suddenly directed at me.
With a reproachful nce at Disco, I replied, No.
This body wasnt a God.
In fact, I was sitting on my throne right now, with my wife on myp and singing a luby to our little son.
Of course, one couldnt say that this particr me wasnt real, and that one was.
This was the dimension of Fantasy.
All this was me.
I thought so
But I can give you some advice. There are many gods in this universe. Meet at least a few of them before deciding.
But how can I meet them?
One of them is nearby.
I pointed my finger at the ceiling of the tower.
Ah!
And dont forget. You are already using the power of gods. Divinity and Dark Energy. Where do you think the skills you take for grantede from?
Adam.
What?
I think this is the first time Ive seen you talk so much in 19 years.
Ahem.
Disco tried to recruit the student even before he graduated, so it was necessary to intervene.
Dastardly inspector!
Satanughed, raising his eyebrows. Mypanions alwaysined to me that Adam was just ying around and wasting the partys resources, but I was rewarded for all this trouble. Thank you for providing me with such valuable information.
Hero Satans party took a short break on the 50th floor, the center of the tower, then went to the 60th floor, where the fourth angel Potatoel was waiting for us.
However, since the fraudulent effect of their race only applied to the Second Angel, he was nothing but a regr chicken head.
Brother!
Elder brother?
Second Angel Bananael, who surrendered to Hero Satan, rushed to persuade his younger brother Potatoel.
But as absurd as it was, it worked.
The 60th-floor boss Potatoel gave up with tears in his eyes after being purified by Bananael and stripping him of the Fallen Angel title.
He then officially joined Satans squad in the role of a Universal.
A total of 81 people.
Hero Satan, his advisor Adam, and his 79 dummies climbed to the 70th floor!
***
So youve reached this ce, Chosen Hero! I am Demon Lord Pedonar, the incarnation of evil itself, the one who will plunge this world into darkness!
My name is Satan. I am the Hero who will defeat you.
Haha! I like the determination in your eyes, Hero! So be it! I ept the challenge humanity has presented before me! But why are you alone? Where are yourpanions?
Im more than enough to defeat you.
Hmmm! How arrogant! Hero Satan! You shall die at my hands!
Lets begin, Fake Demon Lord!
Hero Satan refused hispanions help in this battle.
He decided to fight one-on-one to preserve his forces for the battle on the 80th floor.
His enemy was my father-inw.
Of course, even though he thought he was real, he was but a clone based on a personal file.
However, his strength was real.
I didnt know what my father-inws strength in the primary and secondary education was, but from what I recalled, Demon Lord Pedonar could only use his hidden power Dark Matter properly in the tertiary curriculum.
Regardless
Kh! Hero Satan, where does your mighty powere from?
My wrath against God!
I see. Its your desire for vengeance thats defeated me, then? It was a great fight
Bang!
The boss of the 70th floor had fallen.
Even Hero Satan had a hard time, but whats important was that he survived.
In the Demon Lords Tower, death meant the end. However, if one were just to lose their limbs, the Saintesses could still heal them.
Please gather around me.
Hero! You need to heal your wounds
This is more important!
? Satan: As requested, heres a photo with the fallen boss of the 70th floor, Pedonar. As you can see, the number of mypanions has increased to 80 after we sessfully recruited the 60th-floor boss, Potatoel.
? Sieg: ;;;;;
? Odin: Sir Satan, I want to ask a serious question. Are you the grandson of the director?
? Zeus: Wow Is that even possible?
? Ah: Stop showing off and get your diploma already.
? Isis: Do you have a girlfriend, Lord Satan?
? Luke: Senior Satan! Share your strategy, please! I also want to get into a higher curriculum.
I had prepared a small gift for Satan.
I instructed Great Sage Shakespeare, who ran the monphone servers, to post a notice that said, The images in the monphonemunity cannot be tampered with. They are all genuine.
The effect was obvious.
Oh
Satan took a deep breath and sighed, this time of relief.
Even so, he didnt rx.
Although he cleared the 70th floor without any losses, that was made possible only by the fact that he already reached this far in hisst round.
Your power is amazing, Satan.
You single-handedly defeated the former Demon Lord Pedonar
Thats amazing, Hero!
The end is indeed near.
Not only other Heroes from the monphonemunity but also his eightypanions recognized his merits.
Modestly, he replied, But were not there yet. The real battle begins now, and Ill need all of your strength for it.
That was right.
We were now headed to the 80th floor, where he had to fight with himself and five other powerful individuals.
But Satan was in no hurry since he didnt n on sacrificing anyone, even though he had gone this far.
His goal was to get to the 100th floor!
Therefore, he wanted to keep all his strength up to the 90th floor, which he hadnt yet seen.
What do you think, Adam?
About?
Do you think Hero Satan will be the first to reach the 100th floor?
Disco seemed to like Satan a lot.
I shrugged.
I dont know.
I would have to leave the party soon. After all
The man he considered to be hisrade was actually the final boss!
That scenario wasnt bad, but this information would travel too quickly through the monphonemunity.
Therefore, Counselor Adam would simply have to die in battle.
On the 80th floor, a group of six is waiting for us, including the Fake Hero, my clone. His group consists of a saintess, wizard, warrior, assassin, and archer. My copy aside, hispanions themselves are incredibly powerful. However, there are more than ten times more of us. We will definitely win, but if the damage we sustain is too severe, we might fail on the 90th floor. Hence, well only challenge the next boss after careful preparation.
As you wish.
Roger that.
Well follow you, Hero.
Got it.
Hero Satans true strength wasnt hisbat power.
For the past 19 years, he had led an entire army.
He had gone so far while keeping his members jealousy, arrogance, and stupidity under control.
That alone made him worthy of my respect.
Oh! The battle had begun.
Theres too many of them! Shouted the fake Satan.
I could understand him.
He had fivepanions, and the real Hero had eighty.
It wasnt just about numbers.
All of the people Satan collected in the past 19 years acted harmoniously, like a toon of Spartans.
Kh?!
Ah!
Aaaaaagghhh!
It all ended swiftly.
This one-sided onught wasnt what he experienced in hisst ythrough.
Fake Satan didnt know that he would have to face so many enemies. On the other hand, Real Satan already knew their abilities and quirks.
Such was the power of information!
The Hero led his clone away to prevent the other five froming up with a countermeasure. Hence, it didnt take long for the battle to turn into Satan vs. Satan and 80 people.
The 80th floor Boss fought to the very end, but he was unable to cope against such a huge difference in strength.
Victory is yours.
You fought well.
Bam!
Fake Satan had fallen.
There were several wounded, but still no deaths.
Wow That was an amazing sight.
He broke through even the 80th floor without casualties!
However, before us awaited the 90th floor.
From this point on, wed be exploring uncharted territory.
Satan stopped giving briefings on every floor and began to emphasize only the power of friendship.
Even he didnt know what awaited us next, after all.
Forward.
SKRRRR!
Not long after, Satan and his 80panions opened the gates to the boss room, revealing a huge space.
Inside it was but one man, waiting for us and guarding the huge door leading upstairs.
Is that
Yes
Indeed
The boss of the 90th floor, who was sitting on a white toilet, slowly opened his eyes.
If you want to go higher, leave your spine as payment. Pretty simple, isnt it?
Demonstrating the smile of the Righteous Hero, I greeted us.
Chapter 369 - [25th Round] MAX-Class Righteous Hero
Chapter 369 - [25th Round] MAX-ss Righteous Hero
? Race: United Spirit
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Ascended (Hero = Demon Lord)
? Skills: Gifted ZZZ, Divinity Z, Invention Z, Favoritism MAX, Immortality MAX
? Status: Dragon Scale
That was my stats when I visited Fugitive Senior.
I could still remember how much we smashed everything there.
My skills back then didnt stand out in any way, but my new race led to big changes that made it possible to resist even the First Hero.
? Type: Race
? Name: United Spirit
? Rank: Beginner
? Beginner 1: Inherits the life of the Hero.
? Beginner 2: Combines inherited lives.
? Feature 1: The love of the universe fades.
? Race 1: You are a legendary being.
Inheriting thebat experiences of different heroes and gaining an ability not disyed in my Fantasy stats, I became so powerful that I lost the universes protection.
That wasnt all.
I gained true strength by bing ustomed to high-ranking opponents during my battle against Fugitive Senior and by inheriting the family business from my father-inw.
Now, before us
was that MAX-ss Righteous Hero.
Attack!
Satan immediately came to his senses and took control of his subordinates, hismanding abilities manifesting like never before.
Take this!
ze!
The power of light!
Freeze!
On Lukes signal, who boasted the longest attack range, the Ranged Damage Dealers initiated their bombardment once more.
Get to work.
However
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul!
The spirits that existed throughout the world of Fantasy immediately intervened.
They canceled most of the iing magic, and projectiles like arrows and spears changed direction due to the dark matters spatial distortion surrounding Kang Han Soos body.
Paying no heed to the iing onught, he rushed into a full-frontal attack, instantly closing the distance between them and ultimately rendering long-ranged weaponry ineffective!
Stop him!
Push back!
Protect the Damage Dealers!
The Knight King, known to have the highest defense, led the other tanks, blocking their enemys path.
Bam!
Without slowing down, Kang Han Soo mmed into the Knight Kings shield and extended his right hand forward, his gripnding between the 6th and 7th of his opponents neck as he lost bnce due to their collision.
Kh?!
I know all your tricks.
Crunch!
The limbs of his prey sagged the moment his neck broke, marking the first casualty of Satans party.
He then threw his corpse d in heavy metal armor, turning it into a projectile that targeted the Ranged Damage Dealers.
The Universals caught it before it could do any damage, however.
Unable to inflict much damage on him, the remaining tanks surrounded him instead, holding him in ce.
However, the moment they did, Kang Han Soo grabbed the Princess of Darkness with his left hand between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, holding her in front of him like a shield.
The way her dress exposed her attractive waist made her a good target, considering it made it easy to pierce her skin with his bare hands and grab her spine.
You look pitiful! Haha!
Smiling, Kang Han Soo rushed through the encirclement of tanks, the number of which had dropped from nine to seven.
Fshuk!
Aagh! Struck by an allys arrow, she screamed in pain.
She didnt die thanks to her races high vitality, but if they continued to hurt her, she eventually would.
Ignore her and attackKh!
Shut up! Shes going to die at this rate!
Shes our friend, Thief King!
Dont you dare say that again!
The Thief King tried to make a cold-blooded decision, but the Darkness Dragon King, Bandit King, and the Assassin King opposed him before he could even finish.
However, the Wind Knight, who secretly admired the Knight King, burst into tears and prepared to fire an arrow. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon, uninterested in other peoples love affairs, stepped forward.
Dont fall for the bosss tricks!
Satan remained indifferent as well, continuing to issuemands.
At the same time, he didnt say, Forget the Princess of Darkness, knowing full well nobody would follow a hero who abandoned hisrades.
Even in such a situation, he kept their battle formation intact.
He was prepared to make sacrifices from the very beginning. He kept them alive to ensure hed clear the 90th floor even at the cost of their lives, after all.
Ha!
Die!
Here Ie!
The Universals and Melee Damage Dealers boldly made their way to Kang Han Soo.
Under normal circumstances, they wouldve fought cautiously while under the tanks protection, but Kang Han Soos equipment and movements were simr to them, who neglected their own defenses.
Hence, they took this as an opportunity.
The Brawl King attacked first, but even though his footwork was unmatched
Huh?!
He was the first to die in their subgroup simply because he momentarily hesitated to punch through the Princess of Darknesss beautiful face.
Bang!
That slight opening was all Kang Han Soo needed.
The situations that followed after that werent much different.
He quickly switched to other shields as soon as the des of the Princess of Darknesssrades killed her.
Aqua, Heavenly Swordsman, Pirate Queen, Sylvia
Most of them were women who openly disyed their navels as if to say, Please grab my spine.
Of course, he didnt always seed.
Be sure to win
BAM!
The moment he grabbed the Ice Princess between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, she self-destructed.
As she swiftly froze, he was left with no other choice but to instantly remove his hand from her beautiful spine.
Princess!
No!
Moved by her sacrifice, they immediately seized the gap she gave them.
Rendered shieldless, he failed to block all of their attacks and even missed for the first time.
Haha! What an unexpected turn of events. The Ice Princess wasnt known to sacrifice herself for the sake of others. She was a hundred times more powerful than I remember, too. Hey Hero B, can you tell me how you strengthened her?
Plik. Plik. Plik.
Blood dripped from his wounds as he spoke.
My past self didnt like empty talks, so he most likely opened a conversation to catch his breath.
But Satan didnt give him the rest he so desired.
Everyone! Attack now! Dont let the Ice Princesss sacrifice be in vain!
Hes exhausted!
Lets finish him off!
I will never forgive you!
He challenged the 90th-floor boss with eighty-one people, but Kang Han Soo swiftly reduced their number to forty-eight.
Naturally, their overallbat power also decreased.
At that point, Satan realized he wouldnt be able to reach the 100th floor if they couldnt finish this fight right now, and the rest of hispanions shared the same thoughts.
Therefore, they didnt give their opponent any time to breathe.
Vile power of friendship. I will trample on it with the power of justice!
Clink!
Throwing away the sword he stole from the Heavenly Swordsman, Kang Han Soo showed them the Righteous Heros smile.
Fshuh!
And the Righteous Heros Wings soon grew on his back, marking the beginning of a massacre.
Launching the spikes growing from his wings, he obliterated everyone in his path.
It was as if he was firing a machine gun at an infantry battalion marching recklessly across the ins.
Aaahhhh!
How?!
Kh!
During that barrage, Adam also came under attack, allowing me to skillfully leave the battlefield and prepare to meet the Hero on the 100th floor in case he could break through Kang Han Soo.
My death wouldnt matter even if Satan fell on the 90th floor, considering his inspection would be over by then anyway.
For now, however, his struggle continued.
He was counting on it!
Is this his final attack?
N-no. Take a look!
His wounds are closing
Without the help of a saintess?
Kan Han Soos body, which had assimted Master Mons teachings, grew independent of Fantasy skills.
Therefore, any Fantasy skills that interfered with his natural wound regeneration didnt work against him at all. After all, sharks from the sea couldnt attack rabbits onnd.
Do not panic! This is the same as General Chromatigiuss ability to ignore status!
Hero Satan didnt give up.
Their opponents surprise attack destroyed their scouts and support, but their partys most powerful fighters, along with the Saintesses, survived.
Heavenly Demon, Eve, Sword King, Sage, Nasus, Wind Dragon King, Earth Dragon King, ck Dragon King, Light Dragon King, Darkness Dragon King, Divine Dragon King, Ice Dragon King, Snow Queen, Heavenly Dragon King, Saintess C, Saintess E, Bananael, Potatoel, Green Cake.
Twenty-one people remained, including Satan!
Less than 10 minutes into the battle, 60 people had already been killed, but it was still too early to conclude their defeat.
Guuuuu!
Wooooo!
Shhhh!
The Dragon Kings canceled their transformation and returned to their original forms.
They fought in human form to not hurt their own, but now that theyre on the verge of utter annihtion, they couldnt afford to hold themselves back any longer.
Fshuh!
The Dragon Kings let the vulnerable Sage, Eve, and the Saintesses climb onto their backs and, pping their wings, took to the air.
Bananael also soared, wielding the deceased Bow Gods bow, and Potatoel followed the Dragon Kings with thete Spear Kings weapon.
Satan, Heavenly Demon, Green Cake, Sword King Haris, and Nasus were left on the ground.
Five of their strongestbatants charged towards their mutual foe.
Not bad, Hero B. Not bad at all!
Kang Han Soo enjoyed this moment.
He knew he was fake from the moment he woke up on the toilet.
After all, Captain Fantasy, Holy Sword Nucleon, Saintess H, First Spirit, and Ssosia, the people who were always with him, had disappeared.
It didnt matter, though.
Nature itself whispered to him, allowing him to quickly realize everything.
Did you seed, real me?
Yes. I swallowed Fantasy.
So Im not just a teaching aid in the hands of the director.
It doesnt change your essence.
Hows mom?
In perfect health.
Thats great to hear.
Watching their fight, I answered him sincerely.
Now!
Fshuh!
The five warriors surrounding and pressuring Kang Han Soo retreated, signaling the Dragon Kings, who released their Breaths, containing firepower so tremendous that not even Red could withstand it.
But my past self was different.
Fshuh!
He dodged, flying into the air using his Righteous Heros Wings, and aimed for the Saintesses riding the dragons.
Their battle would never end if he allowed them to ceaselessly heal their allies from a distance.
Satan, instinctively realizing Kang Han Soos n, hurriedly shouted, This way! Quickly!
The Dragon Kings descended to the ground.
You shall not pass!
Revenge
Bananael and Potatoel died as they tried to prevent their pursuer from chasing after the giant winged lizards.
He only had 18panions left.
With his partysbat power gradually decreasing, Hero Satan fell under strong temptation.
[Devastation]
A certain god sweetly whispered to him.
If you want to defeat that monster, youll need my help.
Dont underestimate me. I dont need handouts from the gods! Satan dered. He then immediately issued amand.
Gather on the Wind Dragon Kings back, Saintesses! He has the fastest speed! Green Cake, Nasus! Stay close to them! We will triumph! No matter what!
Kang Han Soo once again aimed at their remaining healers, but the dragons got in the way.
He couldve dealt against them one at a time, but his son Haris prevented him from doing so.
Righteous Hero #2s Wings. His wings were less effective, but they allowed him to fly like angels and demons.
Youre stubborn, just like the Sword Princess!
I am.
Fine! Lets have some fun.
Fun? No. lets have your funeral instead.
Oh, you impudent little brat!
I refuse to listen to the words of the very person that abandoned my mother for so long.
Thats the adults problem!
As with the dragons, Kang Han Soo couldve easily defeated Haris, who stubbornly interfered with him, but Satan and the Heavenly Demon, chasing him while riding dragons, prevented him from doing so.
Due to that stalemate, the Saintesses found the opening they needed to quickly heal theirrades of all the damages they sustained, prolonging their fierce battle.
The situation soon changed as well.
Bang!
Having lost his Righteous Heros Wings to Satan and the Heavenly Demon, Kang Han Soo fell to the ground.
Exploiting that gap, Sage bombarded him with spells, and the dragons immediately unleashed their Breaths on him!
It would be difficult to survive after this.
Victory No!
Noticing the gates leading to the 91st floor were still closed, Satan looked around carefully, trying to find the 90th-floor boss.
Hey, Hero B No, S-rank Hero Satan. I wont run away. Dont worry.
Kang Han Soo grinned as he stepped out of the cloud of smoke.
He was having fun.
But Satans party didnt feel the same way.
Satan, in disbelief, muttered, Dragonian Seriously?
Lets start the second round, shall we?
The bald Kang Han Soo, whose body turned as ck as coal, once again showed them the Righteous Heros smile.
Chapter 370 - [25th Round] Greeeee!!
Chapter 370 - [25th Round] Greeeee!!
How
Transformation! This is every guys dream, but it wouldnt have been interesting if I used it from the very beginning, would it now? Dont get me wrong. I dont like to y the fool, but I dont care if I die right now since Im just a fake. So I decided, why not have some fun?
A real monster.
How can you call your senior a monster? How rude. Regardless, I really admire you, junior Satan. I thought this would be a battle of attrition, but you decided to unleash the full power of your party on me as fast as you could Perhaps in your next ythrough, youll be able to defeat me.
You seem to know everything.
I was once a hero, too, after all. Hmm. If I also remember this battle, though, then Im sure Ill never lose. Its a little sad, honestly.
No. There will be no next time, great Ancient Hero. You are definitely strong, but this is where youll fall, Hero Satan confidently dered.
Kang Han Soo didnt fall for his childish provocation.
His MAX-ss Righteous Heros smile only grew wider!
Well, well see about that.
Fshuh!
His Righteous Heros Wings, previously cut off by the Holy Sword, grew again.
But their appearance had changed. Covered in charcoal scales, they were now more durable.
Satan! This isnt the time to be in the clouds! shouted the Heavenly Demon, jumping off a dragon kings head.
Kang Han Soo grinned.
Im tired of this swordsman.
What?
From now on, Ill fight you using Fantasy style.
Shhh~
His dark matter caused space to tremble.
It was far from the divine power [Darkness], which in the literal sense couldpress space, but it was still enough.
Tsk! What the
Clink!
The Heavenly Demons eyes widened.
His Holy Sword couldnt cut through the charcoal scales that covered Kang Han Soos skin.
On the other hand
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
Kang Han Soos wings, as he boldly closed the distance between them, ignored the incredible swordsmanship and mercilessly pierced the androids sturdy body instead.
This is Fantasy. No matter how adept you are with a sword, if you cant deal damage, its all pointless.
Heh To think I devoted my whole life to the sword. Fantasy I hate it
BAAANG!
His body exploded.
Heavenly Demon!
Satan, swinging his Holy Sword vertically, was a moment toote.
Too slow.
Clink!
Kang Han Soo, holding Holy Sword A in one hand and Holy Sword C in the other, which he obtained from the Heavenly Demon he obliterated, brushed his attacks off with ease.
Dual de Mastery.
The skills and experience of the Sword Master, who reached unprecedented heights, were passed on to him.
Tsk
You fought well, Satan. You are the best Hero Ive ever met, but from the moment the Knight King fell, my victory was already certain. Haha! Your expression on your face tells me you dont understand. Take a closer look at my race.
Inherit the life of a hero?\''
Right.
No! This means
The thing is, I stole more than just their skills. I took their entire lives and made them my own. Through your fallenpanions experiences, I saw your entire life these past 19 years.
Satans expression distorted.
Nonchntly, Kang Han Soo continued, Feel free to ask any questions you have.
Why are you telling me all this?
Because Ill have more fun in your next round this way. Our current battle is too boring, so I look forward to the next one instead. Haha!
Then one more question.
You want to ask why I didnt use this power in the beginning.
Dont get your hopes up. It doesnt have restrictions. I just wanted to rx and enjoy the results of your 19 years of adventure. If I killed you right from the get-go, this world would copse. Theres no reason for me to be in such a hurry, is there?
Monster
Hero Satan stepped away and tried to figure out how to proceed.
In your next round, dont show your power to yourpanions. Just hide it as much as you can, Kang Han Soo suggested. I didnt expect much from this round anyway. Oh! You can try one-on-onebat by killing all yourpanions in front of the 90th floor.
I will decide what to do myself!
Wow, wait, dont give up. I wont kill you until Im done toying with yourpanions lives.
Bastard!
Enraged, Satan rushed in but was unable to hit him even once.
Not only did he read his movements, but he did the same to hispanions as well.
It was as if Kang Han Soo could see the future.
Since he perfectly understood the strength and tactics of their entire party, he could afford to be so arrogant and cocky.
Im sure you are even more outstandingly talented than me, but you still have a long way to go. Anyway, since you call me your father, I must apologize to the real me.\''
Kh!
Die already. I want to see how the Sword Princess lived in your eyes.
Haris, with a Holy Sword piercing his heart, coughed up blood and copsed to the floor.
Kang Han Soo was ruthless.
He knew his son would be resurrected even after death anyway.
Demon
The Sword Princess said something simr a long time ago. Obviously, your birth was truly a miracle
Rest in peace.
To ensure his dead sons body wouldnt be damaged further in the ongoing battle, he ordered the fire spirits to burn his corpse without leaving a trace of it.
He then rose into the air, targeting the dragon kings next.
Sage, riding the Darkness Dragon King, tried to use all kinds of magic, but Kang Han Soo paid him no attention.
He slew the dragons one by one.
Gooooooooh?!
Icessssssss?!
Weeaaaarrgggh?!
Everything was different now.
Previously, he couldnt even follow their high-speed flight, but now he easily smashed them with his justice.
It was all because of his nigh-imprable pitch-ck scales.
Noebiuss gift allowed him to ignore any iing attacks, thus enabling him to focus solely on his own offensive.
Too easy.
All the dragon kings Kang Han Soo pursued quickly fell.
Sage, Nasus, and the Saintesses also died shortly after.
Only Eve and Green Cake remained.
I could already say the oue of this battle was obvious.
Its not toote yet, Hero Satan.
Think about your deadrades. Dont you want revenge?
[Devastation]
Disco was still tempting Satan.
But the current situation had be slightly different.
Almost killed by Kang Han Soo, she revealed some of her hidden powers to postpone their imminent loss.
He soon frowned as he watched his Righteous Heros Wings, reinforced with dragon scales, begin to crumble when he tried to attack Disco.
Eve, huh? Have you been hiding your skills for 19 years?
Hmph! Ignore me and continue your battle with Hero Satan. Unless you seek death.
The bitch with a poor pelvis behaves so impudently.
What?! How dare you Oh.
Many of the Fantasy inhabitants sexually harassed her during Satans adventure since her appearance was beyond praise.
She ignored them or at least tried to.
However, she immediately got angry at me?
This was discrimination!
Im your opponent!
You fought well, S-rank junior. Be content with how far youve reached and regress. Good luck on your next ythrough.
Regression isnt a joke!
Im sorry.
Kang Han Soo charged after sincerely apologizing to him.
Fshuk! Fshuk!
Kh?!
Ignoring Satans attack, he thrust his Holy Swords into his chest.
But he didnt finish him off.
Dont die yet. Give me a moment.
Immediately after that, Kang Han Soo jumped towards Disco, who tried to dismiss herself from the battle.
Well done, me! Kill that cheeky inspector!
You dont listen at all to what others tell you, do you?
[Devastation]
Pop!
A transparent ss fan appeared in Discos hands.
What the hell?!
Kang Han Soo, sensing that something was amiss, abruptly stopped his attack and hastily retreated.
Shhhhh
The space where Disco waved her fan was immediately destroyed.
Kang Han Soos expression grew more serious as he saw his left hand disappear.
This was my chance to analyze her abilities.
Give up. I am a deity capable of sweeping away everything in my path. If I wanted to, I couldve turned you to dust in an instant already.
Then why didnt you turn me to dust right away?
Why dont you just be honest and say you cant, self-proimed deity?
Shhh!
His left arm, which had disappeared due to divine power, grew back again.
Youre really annoying.
The feelings mutual.
While Kang Han Soo and Disco fought, Green Cake healed Satan, who had been incapacitated.
Oh
Dont move yet. Externally, you look fine, but dark matter interference can reopen wounds.
But
Ill tell you my secret, Hero Satan.
Secret?
It was my father who asked me to help the Hero, but Ive never liked doing it. Would you help those who want to kill your father?
Kill my father? Of course not
But I like you, Hero Satan. You remind me of my father, whos trying to return home. Thats why I want to help you get to the 100th floor.
What?
May your dreamse true.
BRRRRRR!
As he reverted to his true form, his size began to increase rapidly.
? Race: Green Dragon Overlord
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Transcendent Being (Ultimate Breakthrough )
? Skills: Faith GG, Vitality G, Size G, Gifted G, Omnipotence G
? Status: Apostle, Supremacy
If the towers interior werent an ever-expanding four-dimensional space, such a transformation wouldnt have been possible.
He was colossal.
Even with the dragon kings sizesbined, they still wouldnt be anywhere near half his size.
Grraaaaaaagghrr!
Fshuh!
Arge green tail the size of the Demon Lords Tower swayed as viewed from the outside, and Kang Han Soo was thrown aside, unable to even block the blow.
Kha-kha! If I dont get myself together, my eldest son might kill me.
This wasnt the time to pretend to be strong. Did my past self really think he wouldnt die if he got his act together?
The difference in their weight sses was too great.
If he could summon Captain Fantasy, he could solve this problem, but in this situation
Griaaaaaaaaagghhrrr!
Those bastards. How am I supposed to fight him when they robbed me of my true capabilities?
I agreed.
I decided to take hisint to my cowardly wifeter.
*****
Green Cake! Green Cake! Wake up!
Griiii
Kang Han Soo, the boss of the 90th floor, had been defeated.
He fell not because of the vile strength of friendship but because of the strength of his son.
However, Green Cake, who had used his full potential, also suffered due to the ruthless power of justice contained within his opponents Righteous Heros Wings.
We need to heal you quickly!
Griii
His injuries were so severe that it would be difficult to heal him. Even if all three Saintesses in his party were still alive, they wouldnt be able to save him.
My friend Noebius fought as a Dragonian for a reason.
Using the form of a giant dragon, they would definitely be stronger in proportion to their weight ss. However, they would also be vulnerable to attacks from enemies the size of bacteria.
But my son had no choice.
He would never win against Kang Han Soo if he fought him in the same weight ss as Noebius did.
Thank you very much, Green Cake. I will never forget this. Wherever I go in the future
G-gri aaarghh
Rest well, my friend. Until we meet again.
Well see you again, Green Cake.
Satan and Disco, honoring the memory of theirrades, went to the 91st floor.
I had no doubt they would reach the 100th floor.
It was time to get ready Hmm?
Whimper!
Why are you crying, wife?
This beautiful scene is just so touching Whimper! Sidael, do you think so too?
Are you out of your mind?
Did she really just say the death match between a father and his son was beautiful?
My wife had a taste problem.
Chapter 371 - [26th Round] The Power of Love!
Chapter 371 - [26th Round] The Power of Love!
[Guide: 90th Floor Boss]
[Author: Satan]
[I am writing this guide on the 99th floor of the Demon Lords Tower. The boss of the 90th floor is the legendary Hero who fell victim to the curse and is about to be the new Demon Lord. He has a racial characteristic that allows him to steal the knowledge and experience of his in target. Therefore, it is imperative that the Hero battles him in a one-on-one situation. During my attempt to overwhelm him with numbers, I lost all 80 of mypanions. He has 4 phases: Normal Human Form, Formidable Wings Form, Dragonian Transformation, And Berserker. Dont forget that the 90th Floor Boss easily defeated the 70th Floor Boss, the former Demon Lord Pedonar. Hence, on the 70th floor alone, youd be able to roughly estimate hisbat power and how youd fare against him. This concludes my guide. I wish you luck.]
Why didnt you disclose the information Green Cake gave you?
Only I should know about that secret. I think this is what my friend wouldve wanted.
Hmm~
Is there any problem with this, Eve?
No. As youve probably already noticed on the 90th floor, I am an observer. I am not going to interfere with your decisions during your adventure.
This time, Im really on my own, then. Wait.
Satan stopped in front of the boss rooms door and took his monphone out of his pocket.
I was already prepared to rise from my throne to wee the Hero.
What was he doing still standing around outside?
? Satan: I am now on the 100th floor, preparing to challenge Demon Lord Parmamon. If I seed, I will no longer be able to publish a guide to fight him, but if I fail, I will definitely write about my experience.
? Ah: Yes, get out of here already ^^
? Zeus: Well, well see.
? Odin: See you soon.
? Luke: Thanks for the 90th-floor guide, Senior Satan!
? Piko: May Mons patronage be with you.
? Opion: I usually just read thements, but I decided to write for the first time. Thank you very much for the tips and tricks you posted. You will definitely seed.
? Amon: I wanted to be the first to reach the 100th floor, but it seems I was toote. Why did you disclose the bosss information, Satan? This is frustrating.
? Isis: Ignore all of that secondary education students nonsense. Its thanks to you that we can now reach the 80th floor, senior.
? Luna: You cant argue against facts, Student Council President.
The monphonemunity grew noisy.
First challenger.
It was definitely one of the greatest achievements out there.
We limited the message frequency for each student, but even so, the chat window still scrolled 38 times faster than usual. That made it difficult to keep track of all thements.
That aside
Wah.
Sidael was especially loud today.
Although he never stopped growing up like Captain Fantasy, Sidael still grew much slower than normal children. He still hadnte off my wifes breasts.
Sid, do you want to y with your aunt?
Wah? Whoa!
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!
The wretched spirit wanted the baby to y with her, but my child was busy absorbing her mothers milk.
Looking at Ssosiel feeding our son, I asked, Arent you going to hide?
I wanted to see the first challenger up close, but unfortunately, Sid is hungry again.
Hurry up and hide already.
Before I do, I want to rify something. The 100th floor is just an extra challenge. Defeating the 90th-floor boss is enough for the student to guarantee theyd graduate.
How did youe up with that idea?
Defeating Demon Lord Pedonar on the 70th floor and fighting with their own clones on the 80th floor normally would be enough for the students to qualify for graduation, but due to the monphones proliferation, recruitingpanions have be extremely easy. Thats why I added another boss on the 90th floor. For the final test, I chose my husband, who specializes in breaking the power of friendship.
Youre taking full advantage of me, huh?
Husband,panion, middle boss, and final boss.
I wonder who else Id be.
The only person I can trust and rely on is my husband.
Yeah, yeah. Go hide already.
Hmph.
Pop!
Left alone on the 100th floor of the tower, I waited for the front door to open.
Bam
Soon enough, Hero Satan and Disco entered the room.
I had already grown tired of their faces during the 19 years I pretended to be Adam.
They were still the same people, but the fact that we were now enemies was enough to make me feel new sensations.
I delivered the speech I prepared.
Youvee far, Hero of the new generation! I greet you and ept your challenge with every fiber of my being!
Dont you want to introduce yourself? If youd rather die as quickly as possible, however, then you dont have to.
I apologize. My name is Satan. I became a hero to save my home from a mad god.
He was being unusually polite.
I wanted to ask why he was so calm, but I couldnt, considering this was our first meeting.
Was it because of my stats?
? Race: Perfect Deity
? Level: 1
? Job: Ascended (Hero = Demon Lord)
? Skills: Nature GGG, Divinity G, Dark Energy G, Time G, Space G, Darkness G, Light G, Incitement MAX, Fabrication MAX, Earthquake MAX, Volcanic Eruption MAX, Storm MAX, Tsunami MAX, Madness MAX, Extortion MAX, Intimidation MAX, Chaos MAX, Destruction MAX, Oblivion MAX, Strength MAX, Fortitude MAX, Endurance MAX, Parenting MAX
? Status: Good
Nature, which reflected my divine power that supported Fantasy, had actually surpassed GGG rank.
And my skills below G-rank were given to me by my cowardly wife to match my role as the Demon Lord.
But they didnt mean much.
Skill efficiency was extremely low at level 1, after all.
However, if my opponent brought manypanions with them, this wouldve been an entirely different story. After all, if at least one of them died, I would gain arge amount of experience, which would ultimately cause my level to rise sharply.
In other words, one shouldnt use the power of friendship against me.
This was simr to the 90th floor.
You deserve to be credited just for going this far, Hero Satan. If you have anything to say, then I am ready to listen, be it a will, profanity, or libel.
My words were genuine.
I wanted to know what the man who reached thest stage of his course after losing all of hispanions had to say to me.
What I heard wasnt what I expected, though.
Taking a deep breath, Satan shouted, Demon Lord Parmamon! Is it true that Green Cake is your child?!
Yes.
He went from a food reserve to an adopted child.
As far as I was concerned, he was a truly magnificent dragon.
Why did he ask me that?
I love Green Cake!
What?
I love Green Cake!
I heard you the first time, Hero Satan, but you are a male of the human race, and Green Cake is a dragon.
I could have been more direct.
My child followed Satan for 19 years in the guise of a muscr man.
He didnt actively partake inbat, so heter assumed the role of a scout, but in the early days of their travels, he served as a tank.
And he loved him?
I know, but still! I love Green Cake!
What was I supposed to say to that?
I had prepared answers to many possible questions, but this was beyond my expectations.
For the past 19 years, he behaved like a eunuch, shutting himself off from any romantic rtionship.
And now, his attitude towards love made a 180-degree turn.
I could also vaguely remember that his wife was waiting for him on his home.
Satan continued.
I always thought Id confine myself to the limitations ofpanionship. After all, I have a wife back home, and any connection I have in this world will be severed as soon as I leave. Hence, I stayed away from all rtionships.
And now?
My heart was captured. When I saw that kind look, had the privilege of learning an important secret, and was blessed with a continued destiny I could think of nothing else.
Calm down, Hero Satan. Thats just a temporary obsession.
What was wrong with him?
What was up with this strange development of events?
I thought the system determined Green Cakes gender and appearance ording to the taste of the Hero, but as soon as I found out your child was a dragon, my heart raced!
Well, dragons are androgynous
I love Green Cake, so I dont want it to end like this. If you really are its father, you should know how to find the key to its heart
Is that what you desire to ask of me?
I understand the seriousness of this issue. I will be a man worthy of Kh?!
Enough chatter.
I didnt want to hear any more of it.
I originally nned to talk to the Hero for as long as he wanted, but that desire of mine swiftly evaporated when our topic changed to romantic fantasy.
Satan, with his jaw dislocated, struggled to his feet.
Kh! I wont give up!
Dont decide everything on your own. This applies not only to you but also to my child.
Ah!
If you are a real hero, try to at least scratch me, the Demon Lord, first. I refuse to waste my time on weaklings.
Okay.
Dont hesitate! Come at me, Hero Satan! I will test your will!
Aaagghhh!
*****
? Was your adventure exciting, Dear Hero?
Satan had fallen, which was a natural result.
Anyone who couldnt ovee the stripped-down version of me had no chance of defeating the perfect me.
But still
? The path of a true hero is indeed perilous. However, many rtionships supported you through your journey, and you did not lose hope or lose track of your goal. You grew and learned of friendship and love. In the end, you even encountered and fought against the Demon Lord. Please ept our sincere congrattions!
? Lets take a look at your grades.
As my cowardly wife had said, Satans graduation was already certain.
The actual final boss was located on the 90th floor of the Demon Lords Tower. I was just an additional boss waiting on the 100th floor for those who wished to test their maximum capabilities.
Maybe this whole system was too sloppy.
Anyone who Green Cake liked could graduate?
Anyway
? Please check your report card thoroughly!
? Name: Satan
? Combat power: A+
? Achievements: SS
? Reputation: MAX
? Personality: SS +
? Note: Green Cakes biggest weakness is his desire for his fathers praises. Good luck.
This was a wless result.
However, Ssosiel added some useless nonsense in the footnote.
? You passed the test.
After all, he was going home now.
? Congrattions on your graduation.
? Certificate: This document hereby certifies that the aforementioned student went on an adventure and executed heroic and righteous deeds of his own free will throughout his life in Fantasy. In addition, he became a role model among its local inhabitants by ceaselessly caring for hispanions. Henceforth, the aforementioned student is designated as an SS-rank Hero. We sincerely congratte you!
The world of Fantasy, which was rendered useless after Satans graduation, also copsed.
Only Disco remained.
What an unexpected turn of events. He even rejected my offer to the very end despite working for Monsoft being the dream of all the inhabitants of the universe.
So, whats your assessment?
Satans decision to give up his job and stay in school is disappointing, but personal feelings are irrelevant in this inspection. Based on student Satans performance alone, Id give the Fantasy Institution the highest grade. However, the first two students spoiled the overall result.
Oh, exactly!
Graduates had two options.
Either return to their native ces or continue their studies, transferring to the course above.
Satan graduated from the tertiary education course, however, which was the highest course. Hence, he could no longer enroll himself back in.
But he could still stay in school by bing a trainee, a path he chose without hesitation
Didnt he say he wanted to save his home?
Adam Oh! Ive grown too ustomed to that name. Unlike Siegs case, watching Satan didnt tire me at all. I was hoping we can make good use of this time, sir Demon Lord.
How?
Um it wasnt really my intention, but somehow we came across male students three times in a row. I would like to take a look at the girls performances too.
Pop!
Just as Disco was about to talk about random choice, Ssosiel appeared, holding our sleeping son in her arms.
Inspector Distoria, the Festival of Heroes, the pride of our school, has begun. Would you like to take a look at it?
Chapter 372 - [26th Round] New Festival
Chapter 372 - [26th Round] New Festival
I didnt say this out loud, but I was very grateful to Hero Satan.
I thought the inspection team would outright fail us, but we gained a chance to pass thanks to his hard work.
Despite two setbacks, the third time was a huge sess!
Thus, Monsoft postponed releasing their final decision.
And this wasnt just based on Discos discretion.
Other members of the inspection team reported that the condition of the school and the staff was good.
Therefore, they decided to observe two additional students and directly participate in the festival to give a final assessment.
In other words, this festival was more important than it had ever been.
Wee to the festival!
Wee to the festival!
The trainees greeted all the visitors with bright smiles.
They were generously rewarded for killing alumni who participated in the festival, so they eagerly waited for people to fall into their trap.
This festivals main event was the victory over the Demon Lord, but some changes had been made to that scenario.
? Announcement: Wee, alumni of Fantasy. After the reorganization of the curriculum, the rules of the festival have also undergone major changes. Choose between the Lord of Demons and Goddess of Angels and be the one who will bring victory to your faction! Your choice is permanent, so choose wisely! We wish all Heroes good luck!
There were no more detailed rules.
One would win by infiltrating one of the strongholds located in the western and eastern parts of Festival and defeating the Demon Lord or Angel Goddess.
It didnt matter if the participants formed a team or did it alone.
Everything was up to the graduates.
Isnt the choice obvious?
Heroes must always side with the Goddess.
The truth is on the side of the beautiful Goddess!
Im with her!
Whod even side with the Demon Lord?
Some mistook it for horse racing and chose Demon Lord, but most graduates chose the Goddess without much hesitation.
And they regretted it.
Ah?! What is this pile of flesh?!
Did I identally choose the Demon Lord?!
Aaah! My eyes!
Is this the Goddess?!
That cant be her!
The heroes who saw Goddess Parmael were confused.
Some of the Heroes who saw this creature were genuinely disgusted, instinctively pulling out their weapons.
If the beautiful angels guarding her didnt stop them, this event would have ended even before it even began in earnest.
Disco also followed this trend and chose the Goddess faction and smiled bitterly at their meeting.
I see your unique aesthetics havent changed, Parmael.
Oh, it cant be! Secretary Distoria?! Phew! Help me! Phew! Ill reward you! Phew!
Opening her eyes as she drowned in grease, First Angel Parmael immediately recognized and begged for the inspectors help.
But Disco shook her head.
Unfortunately for you, that doesnt fall within our interests. Oh! Nevertheless, in memory of the days gone by, let me give you a piece of advice. It would be best for you to be quiet and y by the rules. Many investors are outraged by your careless leadership.
That wasnt my fault! Phew!
Ah, stupid and arrogant Parmael, did you really think you could deceive Monsoft? Did you really think we wouldnt know about your thefts and fake reports on the amount of Romantium mined? My master will never forgive you.
What?!
Lets end our conversation here. Better enjoy the festival!
Disco went on an adventure with the graduates who apanied her.
*****
After spying on the Goddess faction teeming with narrow-minded F-rank alumni, I couldnt shake off my difort.
There werent that many people in the Demon Lord faction.
But that wasnt the worst part of it.
Do you remember me, Demon Lord?
Youre here too, huh, Satan?
Of course. Im a graduate now, after all. Im allowed to take part in the Festival of Heroes since I can only be appointed to the position of intern once the inspection ends.
Is that so.
Satan, First Graduate of the 5th Curriculum!
Even though he got his degree by utilizing the dastardly power of friendship, he was still much better than the usual graduates from previous curric.
I expected great sess from him.
I love Green Cake.
Hey, dont ruin the atmosphere. Why are you talking about this here?
I am a candidate for a traineeship, so if not now, then when?
Chop off the Goddesss neck first. Then Ill deal with your nonsense.
Thanks!
Oh
Up to the 90th floor of the Demon Lords Tower, he seemed normal to me, but he destroyed his entire image instantly.
Now, I no longer knew what to expect from him.
The number of people in the Demon Lord faction was so small that it was easy to count all the dummies.
186 people?
The number was still growing, but this was almost 100 times less than the Goddesss army.
I was concerned.
My lord, dont worry so much.
Uh, you are
Ellis, the S-rank maid of the mens dormitory. I didnt offer my body to youst time, so I was deemed worthy to help you, Demon Lord.
Wow
What an incredible merit.
My cowardly wifes decisions never ceased to amaze me.
There are so many traps set up by the interns between the two camps that theres nowhere left to step, Ellis continued. So by the time theres a clear path, the number of survivors will no longer differ much.
Thats true
Supposing it took 200 lives to build a highway connecting Cities A and B, from a sensical perspective, it would only be proper for both cities to provide a hundred people each.
However, if City A were unwilling or couldnt afford to connect the roads, then City B would have to provide all the manpower.
The same applied here.
However, this method of calction had a fatal w.
There were 100 times more people in the Goddess faction.
Suppose that there were only 50 people in the Demon Lord faction, and in the Goddess faction, there were 5,000 people, then even 200 deaths wouldnt matter.
Ellisughed in reply. Dont worry about it. The trapsid out are so powerful that perhaps not even 5,000 people could handle them.
Really?
Well, we will find out once we see them in action.
That aside The new script was extremely boring.
I was expecting an epic battle in which I would single-handedly defeat the allied Heroes, but now all I could do was sit tight and wait while I watched the traps kill them off rapidly.
After the tertiary education graduates have been summoned, the secondary education students turn woulde, then the primarys. Only after all of them have been summoned can we truly say that the real Festival has begun.
Hmm. Tell me, are my movements restricted?
You can move around the grounds of this citadel, but youre not allowed to leave its walls.
Its not as scary as I thought.
At least I wouldnt have to sit on my throne forever like my butt was glued to it.
I wouldve already bombarded the Goddess camp from a long distance, but the festival wouldnt proceed as nned if I were to do that. Hence, I decided to hold back.
Where are you going, my lord?
Im going for a little walk. Can I put a sign on the throne saying, Out?
You need to provide a more specific reason. For example, lunch break or took the day off.\''
Thats annoying. Well, lets call it time off.
As you wish, my lord.
I still had nothing to do for now.
No matter where I went, not a single graduate paid attention to me.
I need to get a job.
Is it just me, or are the elves here living pretty luxurious lives?
There arent enough Heroes here. I think I chose the wrong faction
Well have to work hard.
The Goddess faction was full of equally stupid graduates, but they easily gathered in groups, unlike in my faction, which had so few members they all scattered about, minding their own business.
The heroes participating in the festival werent given anything except standard underwear andbat uniforms.
That way, everyone was given an equal start, not taking into consideration the skills they acquired during their school years. To seed, however, they needed to act quickly.
Money, equipment, lodging,panions, information
They had to make the proper preparations, after all.
Those looking for work should visit the mercenary guild in the Northern Military District.
Theres a slime-toilet-equipped tavern in the Western Business District that offers inexpensive amodations and food.
Heroes searching for light jobs can check the bulletin board in the Southern Residential District za.
If you need weapons and equipment, head to the Eastern Production District.
The trainees quickly rushed in, helping the Heroes.
Anyway
Dad!
Daddy!
As soon as I entered the quiet garden, my twin daughters came running to meet me.
Even though this reunion happened 30 yearster, they greeted me as if only a few days had passed. Perhaps that was because the elves perceived time differently from the way humans did.
But I had a problem.
Uh
Big problem.
I couldnt remember my childrens names.
I was really happy to meet them, but I didnt know how to address them.
At that moment, a voice saved me from my predicament, echoing like my saving grace.
Selenis, Selvenus. This ce is sacred, so be quiet.
Yes, mom.
Okay~
Selenis and Selvenus.
I should really memorize their names.
I didnt know which one was older, but there was a right time for everything.
How are you?
Ah!
After my daughters, Elf K rushed to embrace me.
Spending time in the garden, we discussed politics, economics, culture, war, and other topics relevant to Festivals residents.
In doing so, I came to a conclusion.
Woah, Selenis and Selvenus! You two are really amazing!
Hehe!
Of course~
My praises werent empty.
First Empress: Selenis.
Second Empress: Selvenus.
Regent: Elfheim.
Mother Empress: Elkaterina.
Yes, Elf Ks real name was Elkaterina.
These four were the true rulers of the Festival, one way or another.
Since Regent Elfheim was a lover of the human race, they werent treated like ves, but the elves were this worlds dominant race.
They didnt even have to fight for it.
After all, 99.98% of the Festival elvesbat power was in the hands of the two empresses.
Their pathetic paternal grandfather was in charge of politics, economy, and culture, while my daughters lived with their mother.
They never experienced an uprising either.
[Retribution]
[Sister]
[Elf]
No one could oppose those three divine powers, after all. Even the angels feared my twin daughters, who defeated a young Noebius.
There was simply no being in Festival that could rebel against them.
I guessed I didnt have to worry about losing.
Showing them my Righteous Heros smile, I asked my two daughters, Daddys back has been hurtingtely. You will take care of me, wont you?
Of course~
Naturally!
The twins responded boldly, showing the same smile.
I seem to love my daughters more than my sons.
The victory of the MAX-ss Righteous Demon Lords army was already a certainty.
Chapter 373 - [26th Round] Return!
Chapter 373 - [26th Round] Return!
Wee to the festival!
Wee, Heroes!
This is the Demon Lords camp!
As members of the Goddess faction diligently cleared a path towards us by falling into traps, the Demon Lord faction gradually grew.
However, despite the opposing sides huge casualties, the influx of their recruitment was so great their losses almost seemed nonexistent.
But it wasnt important.
Calm down.
All I had to do was y with my two daughters, and I would be rewarded with the certainty of my victoryter.
There was now prohibiting local residents from helping the Demon Lord, and it just so happened that my daughters ruled the Festival.
And the leaders of all cities here were elves, loyal followers of the King of the Elves, Elfheim.
From a young age, all of them grew up hearing, His Majesty Elfheim is the best!
Oh, I lost.
What are you talking about, dad?
What are you ying?
At the moment, I yed mobile games while sitting on a bench.
It would be great if we could go somewhere together, but I couldnt leave this ce.
It wasnt all that bad, though. My daughters liked mobile games, which couldnt be won with the help of their strength and skills, and I was pleased to see them learning of Earths culture.
Even though I yed a role at this festival, which could be called work, I had time to rest since the graduates who needed to kill me had a hard time getting to my base.
This is a nightmare!
How many traps are there?!
What is this?!
This is insane! They do so much damage Kha!
Aaagghh! Help!
Endless screams and pleas for help came from the graduates caught by the traps.
If the tertiary education course graduates werent called up first andid some foundation, the graduates of the secondary and primary courses wouldve been exterminated instantly already.
Regardless, the death toll continued to rise.
And as for Disco
This is sad
Judging by her expression, she wasnt all that happy.
It wasnt that the traps set up all over the ce were too difficult or that the monsters that appeared at times were too powerful.
The issue was the worthlessness of the Fantasy graduates and theirck of skills. It was hard to even believe they were able to graduate.
This was a big problem.
Ah! I lost.
Heehee. My sisters dying all the time.
Youre not any better.
Thats not true.
The graduates died as easily as the characters controlled by my two daughters, who had no talent for mobile games.
But it was worth noting that the interns were alumni as well.
They had excellent grades in their studies, and they also had a good understanding of student psychology.
This was what led to such frightening results.
Oh, a fork in the road.
Look. Smokes rising on the right.
Another squad seems to be cooking over there already. This roads safe, then.
No. Thats just bait. Theyve already expected us toe to that conclusion and fall into their trap.
Woah, seriously? Lets go left, then!
Death.
They were losing this psychological war.
A sad sight.
In a nutshell, the trainees are doing an excellent job, but the participants arent living up to our expectations
If this continued, my daughters wouldnt even have a chance to go on stage.
The graduates were so useless that the grade the inspectorate would give us was probably spiraling down right now.
How could I deal with this Hmm?
Ouch!
Ah!
I jumped up from my seat, apologizing to my two daughters, who leaned on me from both sides.
I felt how my power responded to the release of energy.
[Original Sin]
The source was far south of here.
Someone made mass conscription, not sanctioned by the system.
Who did this?
Since Ssosiel became the school director, two mysteries remained unsolved to this day even after careful research.
Lanuvel.
Fantasys Wrath.
At first, I thought they were the same person, but I soon concluded this wasnt the case since their goals differed.
Lanuvel was in cahoots with Parmael.
On the other hand, Fantasys Wrath didnt take sides. She simply sought to plunge this world into chaos, destruction, and oblivion.
It didnt matter right now, however.
Lanuvel!
I didnt even have to guess the trespassers identity.
She led an entire army.
[Adventure]
Even now, with her devious personality revealed, she still pretended to be sweet, ying the role of the Heroes guide.
They immediately moved to the Goddess camp.
Stop the intruders!
Well need the senior colleagues help to do that!
It doesnt matter! We must save the festival!
Kh! Theyre too strong!
The first to encounter them were the trainees checking the traps set up across the ce, but they couldnt stop them.
If this continued, Lanuvel and Parmael would make contact.
Pop!
Handsome husband! We have a problem!
Wah.
Suddenly, my cowardly wife appeared next to me, anxiousness evident in her expression and bodynguage.
Judging by the fact that she continued to breastfeed our son even in such a situation, this wasnt as bad as it could be.
Ssosiel wasnt the only one who came over.
Brother! This is a big problem!
Se-e-e-e-ex~
Mon!
My pathetic sister, the obscene stingray, and Master Mon
All the avengers had assembled here.
Lanuvel and her gang have nothing to do with this event, do they?
Thats correct.
Then we must find them and destroy them.
Wait! Dont act rashly, husband. Lanuvel wouldnt havee here unprepared. Do not ignore those who came with her. ording to the report we just received, the Heroes she brought graduated during the 1st and 2nd curric!
The vile power of friendship!
She fled to recruitrades from her distant past.
Make an announcement.
Hmm?
Introduce Lanuvel as an optional boss. Label those who came with her as her evil minions.
Oh!
Hurry up.
Thats a great idea, my husband. Only you coulde up with such an insidious idea
Hurry up!
Alright, alright.
? Announcement: Attention! We introduce to you a surprise event! Do you remember the female archeologist who greeted you sweetly every time you embarked on an adventure? Shes now taken the side of evil and is spreading lies! Defeat her and prove you are real Heroes! Worthy rewards await you! Good luck!
Judging by her enthusiasm, she liked it.
Such a fearsome woman.
Hey! Dont portray your good and capable wife as a viin!
Waah!
Ah?! Sorry, Sid! Did moms screams scare you? Hush, hush, dont cry.
Waah
Thats it. Well done, Sid.
I never thought my cowardly wife would change so much.
I was always alone, but now that I had a family to protect, the burden of responsibility began to weigh on my shoulders.
Was this the price of happiness?
If so, then it didnt matter what the problem was. I would face it head-on, never running or turning away from it.
[Original Sin]
But
Shes specifically aiming at the inspectorate.
That was a problem.
I, the greatest power the Fantasy Institution had, couldnt leave this citadel.
If I left the Demon Lords camp, it would be considered as my factions defeat, and the festival would end in a terrible manner.
If so
I believe in you! Captain Fantasy!
Wow!
Take care of these uninvited guests Hmm?
Wow?
What are you chewing? Spit it out.
Wow.
Now.
Woo.
Someone fell out of the mouth of Fantasys cutest baby.
Who was this?
It didnt matter. Now wasnt the time to worry about such trifles.
Give them a good beating!
Wow!
*****
As I expected, Lanuvel tried to lure the graduates over to her side through Incitement and Fabrication.
She lied openly and pretended to be cute.
Dear Heroes! Help Lanuvel! Deceived and manipted by the evil Demon Lord, the God-Creator is trying to plunge the world of Fantasy into darkness!
Its Lanuvel!
Is that really Lanuvel?
Oh! It is!
I didnt really like it, but all Heroes knew Lanuvel.
When it came to recognition alone, no one couldpare with her.
Dont fall for the fallen Goddesss tricks and listen to me! We need to fight the evil together!
Hmm
Who should I believe?
If Lanuvel says so
The members of the Goddess faction were confused.
If not for this announcement, Lanuvel would have already lured everyone to her side.
Her name had a lot of weight in the world of Fantasy, and she also brought strong Heroes with her.
Moreover
Lanuvel is the truth! Phew! Help her defeat the Demon Lord and return me to the position of God-Creator! Phew!
Parmael also joined her cause, but for her own reasons.
While barely coping with her shortness of breath, she began to support Lanuvel.
The two became perfectly synchronized in an instant.
Or not
Look at Mrs. Parmael! Originally, the beautiful Goddess was transformed by the Demon Lord into this ugly creature!
This is my original form! Phew! Much better than skinny bitches! Phew!
P-Parmael
Lanuvel, you should strive to be as sweet as I am Phh.
How stupid
The Heroes that had fallen for Lanuvels Fabrication and Incitement once again fell into a stupor.
And as they did, under Director Ssosiels orders, the faculty members arrived.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Emerging with a brilliant sh of light, they exuded an aura that seemed to shout, We are the apostles of justice!
The minions Lanuvel brought in were also alumni, but they were retired. On the other hand, all teachers were currently employed by Fantasy.
This made a big difference.
? Surprise Event Announcement: Pretending to be cute, Lanuvel attempts to trick the Heroes. To believe her or oppose her. The graduates once again face a choice. No matter which option you take, you will be awarded points based on your aplishments, so please feel free to participate in this event!
I took advantage of the next announcement.
Choosing only one side would raise suspicion, but I cleverly concealed it by calling it a surprise event.
Inspector Disco watched the situation from the sidelines.
It wasnt going so badly.
Not perfectly so, however.
Wonderful Heroes! Help Lanuvel!
Of course!
Dont worry, Miss Lanuvel.
We will definitely win!
Lanuvels minions helped her.
What made things worse was that she no longer seemed willing to hide her true strength.
[Adventure]
Like Bananael, Potatoel, and Umamiel, she shared this power among her support group.
Kh!
Ah
The faculty members, led by Bakery, were pushed back.
If this continued, their defeat was only a matter of time!
But soon, Captain Fantasy would appear and fix the situation.
In the meantime, I would eat popcorn with my daughters, watching from the side Hmm?
Where did they go?
My cowardly wife poked my side.
Theyve already gone to the scene. After all, from their perspective, Lanuvel is an aggressor who invaded their territory.
Hey! Why didnt you stop them?! Their opponent is a real deity! If something goes wrong
BRRRRRR!
Before I could finish my sentence, an earthquake reached us, the epicenter of which was the Goddesss camp.
I felt tremendous strength apanying it.
[Retribution]
[Retribution]
The effects of the divine power that crushed young Noebius gave me goosebumps.
Would you like some more popcorn, handsome husband?
Sure. A lot of it.
The powers of dreams, hope, love, and friendship proved ineffective.
Sponsorship was the answer!
Chapter 374 - [26th Round] Vault of Souls
Chapter 374 - [26th Round] Vault of Souls
Oh, this power
Who Aah?!
Miss Lanuvel! Save me!
H-hey! Donte any closer!
Regardless of the techniques they used, the Heroes Lanuvel recruited couldnt do anything against their opponents. When the two elves screamed [Retribution] sweetly, they all died.
Logic andmon sense didnt work here.
How else could a soft pillow beating brute force be exined?
These Heroes werent even weak. It was just that their opponent was on apletely different level.
Lanuvel! You deceived us!
[Premonition]
You didnt warn us about this!
[Speed of Light]
This is the power of the Innocent Goddess
[Thunderstorm]
This is pure suicide!
[Unmatched]
Some of the Heroes possessed divine powers. However, the Apostles of God werent equal to each other.
It was like the difference between a mon and a mun.
As Disco said earlier, an apostle of a high-ranking deity could defeat a low-ranking god.
Thats Retribution
Even Disco, who was just blithely watching what was happening, tensed up.
Retribution seemed to be a famous divine power.
Lanuvel was no exception.
But she had gone too far, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.
Ssosiel had already blocked her escape routes, after all.
Lanuvel was able to infiltrate, but now she couldnt sneak away as she did before. We wasted no time and spared no effort to prepare against her.
Be more truthful, handsome husband. While I was working, you were just busy flirting with other women.
I was? When?
I knew youd say that, so I wrote everything down. Look.
HM! Okay, show me.
I looked at my cowardly wifes list of my vitions.
1) T50148391: Stared at the buttocks of the First Mead Pubs owner for 3 seconds.
2) T50148402: Complimented the sisters at thewere more beautiful than flowers.
3) T50148415: Grabbed a thief by her pelvis in Alfario city of the Holy Empire.
4) T50148419: Sucked on the lips of the Red Witch, the BioLab boss, until she died of a heart attack.
813) T50148623: Grabbed a heretic fugitive hiding by the spine.
814) T50148628: Caressed his wifes pelvis while looking at the white stocking belt of one of the festivals participants.
This is unfair!
I was just staying true to my responsibilities and role as the Z-ss Righteous Senior Hero.
Be that as it may, now wasnt the time to look into the past.
Wow!
Captain Fantasy joined the battle to end Lanuvels rebellion.
Crush them all with your plump ass!
Help me, Invisible Dragon Mangos!
Maaaaal!
At this moment, however, somewhere beyond the void, a dragon roared.
[Invisibility]
The giant lizard couldnt be seen precisely because of that divine powers manifestation.
Wah?
Maaaaaal!
Wough?!
It struck Captain Fantasys torso.
However, the infants stic skin deflected all the damage it caused.
Wow!
Maaaaal?
Captain Fantasy, hit by an enemy he couldnt see, immediately became enraged.
Meanwhile, Mangos attack being rendered harmless confused it.
It looked like their battle would drag on.
Wow!
Maaaaal!
The clumsy baby and the transparent lizard collided again, not wanting to give in to each other.
*****
While the two giants battle continued indefinitely, not allowing third parties to interfere, Lanuvel took something out from her four-dimensional bag.
A tinum trident.
It looked like an enormous fork.
I was guessing it was a secret weapon she prepared to fight me.
After all
[Friendship]
[Love]
It exuded old-fashioned divine powers.
Ha-ah!
Sneaky Lanuvel pointed it in the direction of the little girls.
How could she be so terrible?
Selenis and Selvenus, on the other hand, were holding a white pillow with pink and sky blue patterns in the shape of stars, gripping both of its sides.
At least it looked like a pillow.
Retribution!
Retribution!
The pillow easily broke Lanuvels trident and delivered a direct blow to her body.
Kyaaaahh!
Even as she was sted off to the side, she didnt forget to pretend to be cute.
Regardless, it was worth noting that she wasnt erased with a single blow, unlike her minions.
She was still a deity, after all. There was a huge difference inbat power between her and her grunts.
Lanuvel, now naked due to her clothes being torn to shreds, wasnt wounded, but she flickered like a burned-out light bulb.
I am arresting you for illegal intrusion, Pretending-To-Be-Sweet Lanuvel. Vice-principal Bakery quickly reached and detained her.
Trying to break free, she screamed, Im innocent!
Ha! Then listen carefully. You are used of several attempts to seduce Director Ssosiels husband by pretending to be cute.
This is nonsense! I would never seduce anyone! I am just cute!
Just cute? So you admit to your crime after all.
Ah?!
Were taking you into custody.
Fshuk!
Bakery plunged a sharp dagger into Lanuvels chest.
Even though she was trapped here, she could abandon her body and take ghostly form. That had to be prevented.
If one died in Fantasy or Festival, they would be the schools property.
Gods were no exception.
These were the rules my father-inwid down.
Lanuvel, who had a lower star rank than Demon Lord Pedonar, couldnt resist it.
My righteous daughters had sessfully destroyed her invasion.
Now all thats left was
Waah!
Maaaaaaaal?!
Invisible Dragon Mangos, who believed in the power of its invisibility, roared in pain amid its intense barrages.
Captain Fantasy had used his only sharp weapon, biting down on its tail with his teeth.
Their battle was as good as over at that point.
I was d it didnt escape and fought to the end.
If it fought a guerri war, it would be a real headache.
Anyway
In the end, you didnt even have to take your focus off eating popcorn.
Yeah.
Lanuvel, like a thorn in her finger, fell very easily.
Was that even normal?
It made me wonder if she lost voluntarily for some other purpose.
Unlikely. There was too much invested for it to be considered a feint. If we werent able to stop her so early, her invasion wouldve caused dire consequences for us.
Really?
Yes. The twins were just too strong. Mangos is actually infamous among the Mon Fleet, the Space Police. Theres even a book about his atrocities.
It didnt feel like it was.
How could that lizard, bitten by a cute baby, be so renowned?
I wanted to grab Lanuvels spine right away, but the ongoing festival couldnt be stopped due to the Monsoft inspection team.
Dont worry about it.
What do you mean?
The chaos Lanuvel caused at the Angel Goddesss camp killed many of our opponents. We can easily win now.
Does that mean I dont even have to fight?
Yes.
Then there will be no problems if I take another day off.
I wanted to praise my two daughters for defeating the alien invaders, but the goddess of adventures backbone had toe first.
Lanuvel, having be part of Fantasy, is now in the Vault of Souls. I wanted to extract her memory and distribute her soul immediately, but her soul is so weak right now that itll have to wait.
Is it because of Retribution?
Hmm. That has nothing to do with it.
You seem to know a lot about this.
Of course, Im not a redneck. The Innocent Goddess, the Restless Demonic God, and the Ignorant God of War. In the entire universe, those three deities are the only ones given a 1-star rank. Retribution is the power of the Innocent Goddess, and Monsoft is a subsidiary of the God of War.
Ha~
The great gods seemed interested in us.
And what about the Restless Demonic God?
I dont know why youre curious, but regardless, their interest in us is too dangerous. If the Innocent Goddess confronts the God of War, Fantasy will meet its end.
Hmm
I didnt like my cowardly wife saying this with such trepidation, but I saw what my daughters Retribution was capable of, so I didnt deny it.
I had a long way to go.
For now, however, I had an important task that had to bepleted.
In this situation, you can leave the post of the Demon Lord, handsome husband, but youll have to return as soon as possible. You need to take care of your daughters, who gained the innocent goddesss interest, to ensure they dont do anything unnecessary.
I do?
Why now?
Or you can wait until Selenis and Selvenus return before leaving. You have to praise them for their good work.
Ahem. Ill be back soon.
I knew my daughters were strong, but I couldnt shake the thought that Lanuvel lost too easily.
I trusted my intuition. So I wanted to make sure.
sh!
*****
Fantasys Vault of Souls.
The souls of children conceived by locals with divided souls were weak, so they disappeared upon a ssrooms copse.
But sometimes, life was born between a student and the inhabitant of Fantasy.
Aplete soul.
They were kept here to prevent them from roaming dested worlds like ghosts until their parents could retrieve them.
This is really a terrible ce.
I was aware of its existence since my son Haris was being held here, but this was the first time I visited it in person.
Naked individuals of both genders stood in perfect rows, their eyes closed.
Their ages varied depending on when they entered storage, but on average, they were around 15 years old.
The reason?
The Heroes who created them spent roughly 15 years before dying from the Five Great Disasters or the Demon Lords army.
But if that were all, it wouldnt be so unpleasant.
[Zeus and Sylvia]
[Zeus and Sylvia]
[Zeus and Sylvia]
[Zeus and Aries]
[Zeus and Aqua]
They wore dog cors with tokens engraved with the name of their parents. They were systematically categorized by the name of the Hero who conceived them.
Somewhere out there was probably the Sword Princesss name.
The more I imagined it, the more my stomach turned inside out.
I quickly made my way to my destination.
Going past where the childrens souls were kept, I reached the ordinary souls section.
What?
Upon my arrival, I immediately noticed tokens scattered on the floor.
[Hero Keith]
[Adventurer Alfred]
[Hero Julia]
[Adventurer Gallion]
Sensing something was wrong, I picked up my pace.
[Adventure]
Although it was faint, I could sense her divine power.
She was still here.
Lanuvel!
I immediately called out her name as soon as I found her, but not to get her attention.
A creature was holding her by her neck.
Who are you? A teacher? a bug? Someones puppet? a ghost?
The vault of souls was filled with naked and cored bodies.
But before me stood an individual wearing aplete outfit.
Her hood hid her face, but judging by the outlines of her figure, she was a woman.
Fantasys Wrath, She answered, her voice muffled.
I see. What a coincidence.
My wrath had been awakened, too.
[Original Sin]
Chapter 375 - [26th Round] Sweet Revenge
Chapter 375 - [26th Round] Sweet Revenge
Pedonar and Parmael were born of nature and the universe.
Combining their powers and removing their unique characteristics from the form gave me the divine power [Original Sin].
I spent most of my energy maintaining Fantasy and the Festival, but this was still my world.
Kh!
I fired a blow that ignored time and space.
Nature covered the world, and we were surrounded by it.
All I did was swing my fist in one ce, influencing nature, and the impact itself urred in another.
[Active: Yes, this is a Naruto reference.]
Interesting. I attacked, intending to destroy you, but nature rejected it. What are you?
Fantasys Wrath, She gave the same answer, falling to the floor and releasing Lanuvels neck from her hands.
Looks like well have to arrange an interrogation.
Once Im done with Lanuvel, itll be your turn. I wont forgive those who ruined and destroyed Fantasy.
When I reached out to strike this stupid woman between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, I froze.
A familiar face emerged from under her hood.
Ssosia?
The Second Demon. Ssosiels past form.
Her tousled brown hair and affectionate eyes were a little different from the originals image, but she could easily be mistaken as her secret twin.
A clone? A bug? Maybe her doppelganger?
Fake Ssosia, looking at me, coldly replied, No.
I thought so.
[Original Sin]
Fantasys nature didnt want to harm her, so I grabbed her by the neck using overwhelming brute force instead.
Ph?!
I didnt even need to touch her.
Like telekic force, I could do it from a distance by extending my arm.
[Active: Im dead, this too.]
This was my divine power.
An unpleasant feeling. Your spine is very simr to my wifes.
I pulled her closer to me to take a closer look.
She fought fiercely, swinging her arms and legs to break free of my grip, but she couldnt escape me. After all, I was Fantasys nature itself.
Nonsense! Youre just a ferocious invader!
Can you also read minds?
Aside from my soul-bound wife, nobody could do that. Not even the teachers.
Could a bug do something like this?
Unlikely.
I am Fantasys Wrath, Fantasys Will. I know what colonizers think about.
Interesting.
I decided not to kill her right away to gather as much information as I could first.
[Adventure]
Lanuvel made her move at that moment, however.
She still couldnt control her body, but she shared her divine power with Fake Ssosia, causing her resistance to double.
It was a pathetic attempt, but it could be considered a sess if it was meant to slow down my actions a little.
What?
Fake Ssosia tried to strangle Lanuvel to death by grabbing her by the neck, but she still helped her.
What was going on here?
I wont let her die again!
I really dont follow.
But I didnt hesitate.
I grabbed both of them to ask them questions in turns.
Ph!
Kha!
If I were outside the Fantasy dimension, my power wouldnt be as overwhelming.
But inside it, no one could defeat me.
To prevent these two from escaping, I doubled and even tripled the amount of force holding them down.
Kya!
Dont pretend to be cute. It wont change anything.
I must atone for my sins! For the sake of the adventurers filled with hopes and dreams, I must pay the price for taking her world and her life!
What a funny story.
[Original Sin]
[Adventure]
My divine power was so overwhelming it couldnt even be called a collision.
Well, it seems this is the only way out. Fake Ssosia sighed.
What?
*****
A different nature prated my system and defiled my just nature!
I tried to cleanse it, but it was already as clear and pure as water from a holy spring.
What was this phenomenon?
Darling, Ill be away for a little while.
Is it because of the adventurers again?
Yes. This worries me. Theyre visiting our more and more often.
I can just trample over all of those cockroaches
Darling
I just hate how theyre wasting our time. Hmm
Its okay for adventurers toe here. Thanks to them, it became lively here. Its just that some of them are causing damage to the beautiful nature around us and digging up ruins and tombs.
Well, you can kill a few of them and nt them on stakes at the entrance to the dungeons
Honey, I thought you wouldve already ceased to be the Lord of Fools after so long
Because of you, I will remain so forever.
Oh, forget it Ill be back soon.
Be careful, Fantasy.
As soon as I saw their faces, I could already guess who they were, but they kindly confirmed it at the end of their conversation.
Pedonar and Fantasy.
My cowardly wifes parents and my parents-inw.
I watched what was happening from mother-inw Fantasys perspective.
This was the true personality of the creature that I considered Fake Ssosia.
Oops.
As it turned out, I had been grabbing my mother-inw by her spine and pelvis all this time.
I had to keep this a secret from my wife.
Good morning!
Hi!
Hello!
Not only the spirits but even the insects warmly greeted her.
No, everything she came across weed her existence wholeheartedly.
The wind, earth, rivers, the sun
My mother-inw greeted everything with a bright smile on her way to her destination, where adventurers gathered.
Are you sure its here?
Yes.
Hmm. If this is a royal tomb, then itll likely have piles of treasures and relics.
Look at those thick mosses and cobwebs. We must be the first ones here.
Great!
Men with shovels diligently tried to dig up the entrance to the half-buried tomb, and youngdies in revealing outfits stood guard along the territorys perimeter.
It was a typical grave robbery.
I got used to this sight during my 1st round.
In particr, I would never forget this girl who pretended to be cute.
Lanuvel did say this is the ce.
Archaeologist Lanuvel.
Her clothes and hairstyle were the same as her current attire, but they seemed more rustic.
She did. How did you find this ce?
Haha! I believed in Lanuvel!
Once we find the treasure, well have a party!
Right, but you have to finish it before sunset.
Some would be outraged by the deliberate desecration of the deads remains, but it was an adventure full of mysteries and discoveries for others.
If someone interfered with them, be it a person, an animal, monster, spirit, ghost, or slime
They killed them all.
Stop! How can you do something so terrible?!
My mother-inw stood in front of the tomb entrance with outstretched arms, blocking the adventurers path.
Reckless.
Too reckless.
Only Heroes made such speeches.
Woah. Shes pretty.
Get out of here now if you dont want to get hurt, beautifuldy.
Isnt she the middle boss?
She looks too weak for that role
Whos that?
The adventurers looked at each other,municating only with a nce.
Irritation, lust, jealousy, vignce, confusion
Various emotions filled them, but none of them approached her.
Unprecedented beauty.
She looked like a real goddess, so they didnt daree nearer.
Perhaps, in this way, my mother-inw sent many adventurers away.
But this time, she failed.
Lanuvel knows her! Shes the wife of the evil Demon Lord who dreams of conquering the world! Dont let her looks deceive you!
Is that so?
I see.
A battle ensued immediately after that.
Fantasy wasnt weak, but her opponents were cruel adventurers that wielded the dastardly power of friendship.
The battle ended quickly.
Oh
Surrounded, she fell.
The spirits tried to help her, but they were too weak.
Not a bad catch!
Hehehe.
Were so lucky.
The adventurers quickly grabbed her and dragged her to the tomb.
And after that
*****
That was the first time I experienced pure malice since I was born on this. I begged them to just kill me.
My daughter conspired with those hateful adventurers to betray my husband, her own father, then turned this into a training ground.
Hmm
I didnt know what to say.
Ssosia thought her mother wouldnt want revenge.
Hence, she tried to stop her father, whose anger seemed to grow and intensify ceaselessly.
Now that youve seen my memories, then you should be well aware of what I want to do with these adventurers by now! They engraved an incurable wound on my body and soul. I desire vengeance!
I understand now.
ording to Ssosias memories, her mother was kind and beautiful.
That made me think she was merciful even to her enemies.
But that wasnt the case.
She was just a married woman, a little more sincere and pure than others.
Will you criticize me for this? Are you going to stop me from exacting my revenge?
Oh
I wasnt against what she desired.
The bastards who imed vengeance was useless either had little grudges or had never experienced it.
Revenge granted peace of mind.
However, if it would cause me trouble in the process, I couldnt just close my eyes to it.
That was where I drew the line.
From a moralistic perspective, I should let go of my mother-inws pelvis right this instant, but I couldnt.
Hmm. Her figures amazing, and she had a really mean pelvis
I can hear everything.
Dont read my mind, then. Oh! Since Im the husband of your daughter, whom you hate so much, do you despise me too?
No.
What?
No?
Fantasy, who looked almost identical to my wife, gave me a strange smile.
Then, with her soft palm, she stroked my cheek.
What was this all about?
You did what my husband couldnt do. You avenged me. You defeated Parmael and Lanuvel, who stood with the savage adventurers. Its a pity I couldnt make them feel the same pain and humiliation that I went through, but still.
Well
I also had umted a lot of grievances against them.
God! You getting revenge for me was enough to satisfy me, but you also understand me? I cant hate a son-inw like that thats what a perfect man is, after all, right?
Hey, mother-inw? Youre going toplicate things even further.
My wife would misunderstand everything.
Ah, but it wont be just a mere misunderstanding. I figured out the best way to get revenge on my daughter.
Wait.
Ill make you mine.
At that moment, I saw insanity in her eyes.
I had to stop her.
[Original Sin]
I threw her into a confined space.
Cool your ardor in that cozy room I made for you, for now, mother-inw.
I would give her the opportunity to grab her daughter by her hair and fight herter.
However
Restless Demonic God, I ept your offer.
What?
Did I hear her correctly?
Innocent Goddess, Ignorant God of War, Restless Demonic God
[Demon Realm]
Fshuk!
Fantasy calmly left the pocket dimension I created and grabbed my neck with both hands.
Can I love you?
No!
What was up with their crazy little family?!
Before I could retaliate, her [Demon Realm] consumed us.
It seemed I wouldnt be back for the festival anytime soon.
Chapter 376 - [26th Round] End of Adventure
Chapter 376 - [26th Round] End of Adventure
Is this the Demon Realm?
Contrary to my expectation, this world wasnt full of terrifying demons.
I thought the underworld would be a dimension where demons treated people like cattle to satisfy their desires.
Where men were used for inhumanly hardbor, and women increased livestock numbers. Once they had be too old to be of any use, they would die in agony while their masters pets ate them.
Something like that.
You really fit perfectly for the Demon Lord role, son-inw. Where did you get such terrifying ideas?
My mother-inw should stop reading my mind.
Anyway, what kind of situation was this?
Filled with vengeance, Fantasy locked up the Righteous Demon Lord in the Demon Realm.
Still, no matter how great the gods were, it seemed it was still difficult for them to kidnap me through an apostle.
[Original Sin]
[Demon Realm]
Our divine powers were still resisting each other.
They seeded in taking me by surprise, but they couldnt sever my connection to the Fantasy dimension.
I was in the middle of a bridge connecting two points.
Nevertheless, I was still undoubtedly in the Demon Realm.
Whats with this deserted ind?
We were on a small piece ofnd surrounded by water.
It took less than 30 minutes to get around the ind on foot at the speed of an ordinary person.
It was absolutely sterile.
There were no living creatures here. Not even bacteria and microbes. I didnt think the ecosystem was working as it should, but now wasnt the time to think about it.
Why are you here?
[Adventure]
Lanuvel was thrown here with us.
Because Lanuvel and Lady Fantasys souls are bound by divine power. This is the Demon Realm, which Ive only heard of Kya?!
Ha! Gotcha.
During my adventures, I couldnt even touch her pelvis, let alone her spine.
It wasnt that anyone forced me not to do it, but more like some invisible force stopped me.
But I could do it now.
SKRRR! Crunch!
The positions of Lanuvels 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae were reversed.
Ow ow ow ow!
She sprawled on the sandy beach of this uninhabited ind, unable to move a finger and tears flowing from her eyes.
There was no point in pretending to be cute.
I would remove her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae altogether!
Hey, stop it!
Mother-inw. What are you doing?
Fantasy pulled my forearms with her hands, which, might I remind her, just recently squeezed Lanuvels neck.
What was wrong with her? She wanted revenge.
Time can really change a person. I longed for this revenge so much, but now that its right in front of me, I find it difficult to watch it unfold.
Then Ill do it where you wont be able to see it.
Well Shell have to pay for her sins with death, right?
Haha! Theres no sense in giving her such an easy end. Ill twist the space itself to make sure you wont be able to watch it. Oh! Do you like sundae-guk*?
[*Korean Blood Sausage Soup]
I was certain it would turn out well.
If my mother-inw read my mind again, shed vomit within three seconds.
Dont treat me like a child
I imagined boiling Lanuvels spine to make a good broth and stuffing her intestines with thigh and breast meat.
Buuuuuueeeee!
Dont worry. Im a MAX-ss chef. Ill cook her in such a way you wont be able to distinguish her from a delicious chicken.
I beg your pardon
Hmm.
It looked like I would have to cancel all my culinary ns and do it quietly in a dark space instead.
Oh! I wasnt going to kill her.
I would make Lanuvel experience the highest form of pain and despair until I had gotten rid of all my resentment for her, which umted withpound interest.
I would first do this
Bang.
Bueeeehhh!
Having lost strength in her legs, Fantasy flopped to the ground and vomited once more.
She had a very weak stomach.
Give me a minute. Ill help you as soon as I settle all matters with Lanuvel
Stop! Before you deal with her, lets discuss my problems!
Hmm
I was disappointed, but my mother-inw turned her beseeching gaze on me, just like Ssosia would, so I couldnt resist.
Lanuvel was lucky.
No.
Waiting for her fate, she felt fear, which wasnt bad either.
I granted my mother-inws wish this time.
I see my son-inw specializes in this area.
Such is the power of education.
Why did you kidnap me?
To get revenge on my daughter.
She made things soplicated.
I didnt think it would be easy to unravel this tangled family rtionship, but it could be possible if the two involved parties met and negotiated.
Arranging said meeting would be problematic in itself, however.
May I exin the situation?
Sure.
When I was dragged into a tomb, I experienced all sorts of horrible atrocities. I didnt know if this could be considered luck, but the adventurers, fearing the wrath of the Demon Lord, decided not to dy getting rid of me to hide what they had done.
Fools.
Before she left the house, my mother-inw told my father-inw she was going to handle the adventurers.
Naturally, he would me and suspect the adventurers and the adventurers alone if she didnt return.
Nevertheless, they partially seeded. They tore my soul apart to prevent my resurrection then sealed me deep in the tomb they plundered. In doing so, he failed to figure out exactly who did it.
But youre still here.
Thanks to you.
This ones my fault as well?
I couldnt remember how I saved her.
The power of chaos. The Brave skill. The First Hero gave it that name, but he technically discovered it, not created it. These were fragments of my soul, torn to shreds by adventurers.
Are you saying the source of the power of chaos was your soul?
Think about it. Would a Hero who received power from the Fantasy system destroy it?
Destroy right.
When I first encountered the power of chaos, I thought it was a bug that was breaking the system.
But that wasnt the case.
Destruction.
Few could cause fatal errors in Fantasys well-established system.
This matter became quite different since it was caused by my mother-inw, who controlled the itself.
All the pieces of the puzzle perfectly fit together.
I should have doubted my pathetic senior could create such a useful ability.
I overestimated him too much.
No one noticed this except Lanuvel, who was responsible for those atrocities. Even you didnt know, but I was very lucky.
Lucky?
Do you remember? The day you went back in time. Even though many years had passed since my death, the tomb was still in ce.
Ah! The Eastern Continent!
I remembered.
Fugitive Senior wanted his personal file erased, so I worked hard to change history.
Around that time, I invaded a tomb used as a dragon sanctuary
Yes. That was where I was sealed. Plundered by adventurers, the dragons found it empty and turned it into a refuge.
And I stumbled upon it
Yes. You obtained many shards of my soul.
An eerie coincidence.
No, it was probably manipted by the President of the Universes desire to resurrect its daughter.
My mother-inw approached me andid her head on my broad chest.
Youre my savior. You are too great a man to leave to my daughter.
I wasnt going to save you, but I wont stop you from feeling grateful. Regardless, I am still the Z-ss Hero. Only F-ss scum promise love and a future to every woman they save during their adventure.
Didnt she see?
The children abandoned in Fantasys Vault of Souls
They were evidence of the F-ss Heroes atrocities.
Yes. To you, Im just one of the many women you saved as you walked by. But I look at you differently. You are my miracle my savior. You are the perfect man who saved my life and even avenged me.
Uh
If she werent my mother-inw, I wouldve spent the night with her already as fan service.
What had I got myself into?
Under normal circumstances, her daughter would hug me, saying, Thank you so much for saving and avenging my mother! I am forever grateful to you
But they were at odds with each other
[Original Sin]
[Demon Realm]
Our divine powers didnt stop fighting.
I tried to escape, but I failed each time due to the intervention of an invisible third party.
A certain Restless Demonic God.
This was his doing.
And it probably amused him.
A man and a woman alone on a deserted ind. Isnt it romantic?
Lanuvels also here.
Right. Its time to satisfy our long-awaited revenge.
Lanuvel, who had been listening to us all this time, spoke up.
I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of this barbaric Hero! I lived to forget what happened to Mistress Fantasy and to prove to everyone that adventurism cant be evil.
And how did that turn out?
Lanuvel?
Ill be honest. I regretted what happened that day, so I changed my approach to adventurism. Regardless of their history or background, all beautiful women should be treated with respect.
Now it was clear where Lanuvels stupid behavior came from.
And she was a perfect being, a god?
Ridiculous.
I forgot about what happened and enjoyed life. I stayed in Fantasy to help the future generations, but then that wild Hero appeared and constantly reminded me of the past. He even brutally killed beautiful women if they got in his way and showed the locals no kindness.
Hey. Dont lie.
I didnt judge people by their external beauty. On the contrary, I treated everyone fairly.
I didnt kill women because they were beautiful. I killed them because they were a creature.
And I just ignored the local savages who tried to use me for their own purposes.
Lack of kindness had nothing to do with it.
I initially wanted to escape or even hide. It was the adventurers who caused the Demon Lord to desire the worlds destruction, after all. But I was lucky. When the First Hero defeated him, all my worries were resolved.
Youre just as much of a bitch as them.
For me, adventure is everything. Its like my parents. When the beastly Hero appeared, rejected my adventures, and made a mess, I was ultimately forced to act.
What?
I never forced her.
Monphone.
What about it?
Due to it, an era came where the collection and exchange of information have ceased to be risky and exciting. I tried to change the situation, but the vast majority of students were crazy about the monphones.
Thats only natural.
The adventure, which I thought was the only truth, was rejected, leaving me with only one way out. Redemption.
Hey, Lanuvel. Its toote to press your feelings onto me. Nothing you do will make me forgive you.
I am also a deity! Im not asking you to save my life!
But you dont want to suffer?
Yes! Please give me a swift death!
Never.
I put an end to everything. I deliberately persuaded and brought my colleagues from that era here, and they were all killed as nned. Now its my turn to die.
I wont kill you.
I would torture her until her spine wore out.
Then Ill do it myself. Being denied execution, I now transfer my divine power to Mistress Fantasy.
[Adventure]
These were not empty words.
She indeed passed on her divine power to my mother-inw, then died.
Are you finished? Get up.
Huh? What?
Lanuvel, now a mere ordinary mortal, made her confusion evident in her expression.
Have you forgotten? This is the Demon Realm. You cant die without the masters permission.
Oh
Failing tomit suicide and having lost her divinity, she looked upset.
I loved that expression!
Now that Fantasy had be a deity, I turned my attention to her once more.
Chapter 377 - [27th Round] MAX-Rank Patience
Chapter 377 - [27th Round] MAX-Rank Patience
How ironic. I, who hate adventurers so much, will be the God of Adventure
Do you want to talk about it?
Ah, I understand the principle of divine powers. But Im a bit worried since I dont quite fit the role.
And to calm yourself down, youre holding your son-inws hand?
It helps a lot. I can now roughly imagine what future adventures should be.
Is that so. Now lets discuss our next steps Hey, mother-inw?
Holding my hand with one hand and stroking my cheek with the other, she suddenly froze then passed out.
This is all I needed.
I managed to grab my mother-inw by her spine before she fell onto the sand.
It was a side effect of forcibly epting divine power.
She wouldnte to her senses until her vessel had finished expanding and adapting to her newfound strength.
Maybe she wouldnt wake up at all.
This wasnt what I wanted to happen!
Well, of course.
Oooh
Stop pretending to be cute. Otherwise, Ill cut open your ribcage, pour a bunch of sand in there, then sew it back up.
H-hik?!
Closing her eyes tightly, Lanuvel looked so frightened she probably wanted to run away immediately, but she couldnt even move a muscle due to my control over her spine.
Hey, carry her on your back.
What?
Are you deaf? Carry my mother-inw on your back.
I handed Fantasy over to her.
But my lower back
Any problems?
No. Ill do it.
A normal person would scream in pain and copse to the ground with just one attempt to get to their feet.
However, Lanuvel could still move despite losing her divine power.
Was it because she was a former deity?
Suffering from a herniated disc and carrying Fantasy, she walked with me, her legs trembling but her lips letting not even a single groan escape.
We circled around the ind once.
Nothing
The hot temperature here made me want to wear nothing all day, but I couldnt get rid of the feeling that someone was deliberately forcing me to do it.
Without any sun, stars, or moons in the sky, nights didnt even fall.
Instead, the shades offered by the palm trees growing all over the ind were as dark as ckout curtains.
There are many durian fruits here.
Shut up.
Ooooh.
I wasnt as good as my father-inw, but I gradually followed the path of a gourmet.
There was little food here.
Coconuts, durians, Lanuvel.
But I didnt want to just eat those forever.
Hmm, I should check what lurks underwater.
Ssh!
As soon as I dived into it, I discovered something amazing.
There was nothing there.
Although there were many eel-like fishes here, I couldnt reach the bottom of it no matter how much I sank.
Instead
Ssh!
The sky appeared again.
Ceaselessly sinking in an attempt to reach the end of it, I ended up resurfacing after a while.
Seriously
After diving and looking around once more, I was convinced we were on a small made entirely of water except for the uninhabited ind, which remained afloat on the surface like an aircraft carrier.
I wanted to point out all thews of physics that his ce vited, including gravity, but this was an unusual world. I had no choice but to ignore it.
[Demon Realm]
The power of the Restless Demonic God.
He was a pervert who spared no effort in creating a dimension for my mother-inw and me. That alone told me it would be difficult to get out of here without first doing what he expected us to do.
Lanuvel.
Yes?
Tell me everything you know about the Restless Demonic God.
I lived fairly remotely, so I dont know anything about him.
Youre useless
I searched the ind but found nothing that could serve as a key to escaping this ce.
In the center was arge hill with a gentle slope, which, to my surprise, had snow covering the top of it.
What the hell was going on with the climate here?
The clear stream created by the melting snow descended from the hill, forming a pond in a cave with strange reddish lighting and soft sand that resembled a bed The purpose of this uninhabited ind was so tant that it would be difficult to miss.
I tried to escape into space, but the inexorable force of gravity that prevented even light froming out easily put a stop to my n.
This was troublesome.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman were trapped on a small ind with nothing to do.
It all came down to one thing.
Moreover
Although durian fruits smell bad, theyre very sweet and help fight aging, constipation, and anemia. Oh! Their pulp also contains many vitamins that act as a stimnt.
I didnt ask.
I thought you might be curious.
Another word, and Ill beat you with these durian fruits.
As a child, I tried durian.
Dad hated its rotten-onion-like smell, and I hated its musky texture.
But my mother liked it, so there were plenty of opportunities to eat.
Demon Lord, can I say one more thing?
For as long as its useful.
This is about the Demonic God.
Didnt she say she knew nothing about him?
Im listening.
Durian is his weapon. Rumor has it he brought the Innocent Goddess to tears using it
Is that a joke?
This smelly fruit was the weapon of a god?
Although covered with hard thorns, it wasnt enough to injure gods.
Its true! Lanuvels heard stories about it! There are even gods who can cuts with carrots!
Ha! Carrots this time?
I saw it with my own eyes! When the god struck it with a carrot, the split in half
Do you want me to beat you with durians?
No.
Then you better shut up.
I wasted my time on Lanuvels nonsense.
So much time had passed, but I couldnt think of any solution.
Of course, I wasnt just fooling around.
[Original Sin]
[Demon Realm]
I constantly tried to break through the Demon Realm, knowing full well my victory was inevitable.
After all, I could feel my power growing as the parallel Fantasy dimensions decreased due to the reduction of the students number of sses.
As a result, my divine power, which was always at less than 1% of its maximum capacity, umted rapidly.
This was proof that Ssosiel was cutting down the ss count in an effort to help me the moment she noticed an anomaly. If not for the inspection, it would be even faster.
However
[Original Sin]
[Demon Realm]
As my strength grew, so did my mother-inw.
The Demonic God most likely controlled her power to keep me from escaping.
There was no other way but to convince my mother-inw, who was the one endowed with this ability.
I hoped she would wake up soon.
*****
There was no difference between day and night in the Demon Realm, so I had no idea how much time had passed.
One day? Month? Year?
Time was rtive.
I was tired of ying with Lanuvels spine, so I tried soaking myself in salty fish, but that wouldnt solve the root problem. [Active: Look it up.]
Boredom.
Lately, as a side effect of prolonged abstinence, even touching Lanuvels spine had been causing strange sensations within me.
Out of pride, I buried Lanuvel on the sandy beach, leaving only her head above the surface.
I also wanted to bury my mother-inw to hide her from my sight
Im bored, Demon Lord.
Stopining.
I wouldve already ripped out Lanuvels ribs and pierced her eye sockets with them the moment sheined, but now I was toozy to do it.
My hatred for her also diminished a little.
I hated to admit it, but I appreciated her presence here.
If it werent for Lanuvel, who couldnt seem to stop talking, I would haveid my hands on my mother-inws body long ago.
It wasnt even about abstinence.
I was so bored I was going crazy!
Hmm
You finally woke up!
The strange snoring of my mother-inw mingled with the sound of the calm waves.
Hmm. Was it just me?
It seemed I had finally gone mad.
Aaaahh!
Are you awake?
Yes, but my body feels normal.
Thats because youve fully absorbed Lanuvels divine power.
No. I thought there would already be a baby in my womb by the time I opened my eyes.
Hahaha No.
But it was really hard.
I didnt consider it a weapon, as Lanuvel imed, but durian was indeed the devils fruit.
Every time I ate it, I felt a rush of passion!
One might think they could simply avoid eating it, but their body itself required and craved for more after some time.
It was a vicious cycle.
I could now confidently say this Demon Realm could definitely drive even the Z-rank Demon Lord insane.
Your clothes have changed too.
Yeah. Things deteriorate and disappear here over time.
So I was wearing a palm leaf skirt, which I made especially for this moment.
Hee-hee~
You look very angry.
Stop teasing me.
My mother-inw carefully examined the clothes that I sewed.
I sewed them in a crude manner but in a way that hid anything superfluous.
I made the needle from an eel spike and the fibers from the stalks of durian.
Youre a jack of all trades.
That serves as proof that I was once a Hero.
Any Hero should be able to do this much.
Oh! The heroes I know arepletely different.
Theyre fake.
They are?
Yeah.
Hohoho!
Hahaha!
Standing motionlessly, we stared into each others eyes for quite some time.
Fantasy was the first to break the silence.
I was torn to pieces and killed, but I miraculously managed to avoidplete disappearance thanks to the Demonic Gods mercy. I still dont know why he continues to help me.
This is insane.
Fugitive Senior defeated Demon Lord Pedonar with the power of Brave, a power borrowed by the Demonic God to save the Demon Lords wife.
In other words, his wife was the cause of his failure to avenge her!
This was so confusing I didnt know what to say.
The most restless god in the universe is involved in this, after all.
So what do you want from me, dear mother-inw?
I already told you. I love you. The Demonic God indeed gave me a little push, but this feeling is real. And you being my daughters man doesnt matter to me. You are my savior, and I want to give you everything. Mind, body, and child.
Im so sorry. If I had been resurrected a little earlier, I would have taken her ce.
Hmm. And my father-inw?
Ignore that idiot. He said that he would love me forever, but he started a new life after 5000 years!
Youre not wrong.
Now that I thought about it, that was exactly what happened.
Demon Lord Pedonar had many sons, daughters, and wives that I defeated during my adventure.
Anyway, where were we?
I love you.
But youre toote.
I know. After all, while I was sleeping, you didnt impregnate me.
But I wont give up so easily. I still want to get revenge on my daughter.
This is too much
Hohoho. Awkward, huh? Regardless, Ive made up my mind to continue following you to make Ssosia live forever with anxiety in her heart.
Huh?
What did she mean?
After that, my mother-inw showed a charming smile.
[Adventure]
[Demon Realm]
I will lend you all my divine powers, so please be an apostle. And whenever you are at odds with Ssosia, contact me.
Alright!
Misfortune led to happiness.
I took one step further towards my dream of bing a gigolo!
Chapter 378 - [28th Round] I’ll Do It Myself!
Chapter 378 - [28th Round] Ill Do It Myself!
Gods can observe the world through their apostles. Ill watch over you from here with Lanuvel.
Lanuvel will stay here too?
Ill be lonely otherwise.
Well, I agreed to it since it was my mother-inws decision.
But if I knew this would be the case, I would have done a little more work on Lanuvel.
It was a little disappointing.
I kicked sand towards Lanuvel, whose face stuck out of the ground like a sprout.
Hey! This is too much! Lanuvelined, spitting sand out of her mouth, but I ignored her.
Contact me if you get too lonely. I wille to you as a man then, not as your son-inw.
My God! Those words alone are already making my heart tremble!
Dont be hasty.
If you get into a fight with my daughter,e to me at any time. I will heal your weary soul. Your body will be a little more tired, but
Ahem!
This was how I felt when mermaids surrounded me in my 1st round, threatening to strip me of my chastity.
Well, I was no longer a virgin at that point.
Please give my regards to Ssosia. Tell her Ill steal you as soon as she looks away. Until then, Ill watch you like a proper mother-inw.
Alright.
What was this madness?
My mother-inw dered war on her daughter, threatening to take her son-inw away, and my father-inw, who should be the one putting a stop to this nonsense, had disappeared!
What am I supposed to do?
The Z-ss Demon Lord, who had nothing to do with the issue, has found himself at the center of this familys twisted dynamic.
Compared to my situation,ic plots back on earth were cute.
May the blessing of the Restless Demonic God be with you.
Lanuvel will pray for you too!
I felt like I was just cursed
Okay, its time to move.
Ssosiels GGG-ss Husband had returned.
*****
I didnt know how much time had passed, but the Fantasy Institution still hadnt been absorbed by Monsoft by the time I got back.
[Genesis]
The divine power of my cowardly wife was still active throughout the Fantasy, after all.
I told her to pack up and immediately run away if something went wrong, but the fact that she was still there told me the worst possible oue had been avoided.
Pop!
Husband!
As soon as I returned, Ssosiel, noticing my presence, immediately appeared in a sh of light and rushed to hug me.
Did she miss her GGG-ss Husbands wide and firm chest that much?
I felt the same way.
I missed my wifes mean breasts.
Take off your clothes. Now.
Huh? What?! At least tell me what happened first
Even if the world is going to die tomorrow, there is still nothing more important than this!
[Original Sin]
Fshuh!
Utilizing my useful divine power, I ripped my cowardly wifes clothes off.
Mon?!
Master Mon, the rainbow slime hiding in her cowardly chest, seemed immediately rmed.
O great being, forgive me, but this is urgent.
There was no time for courtesies.
Wait a minute. Calm down Ahn~!
Mm!
I covered Sosiels lips with mine to stop her fromining, diligently rolling my tongue with hers.
Mmmm-mh!
My wife, moaning lustfully, wrapped her arms around my neck in response.
Caressing her spine with my left hand and sliding my right hand down to her crotch, her cowardly back arched like a bow with its bowstring pulled.
The time had finallye.
Rage forth, Holy Spear!
Aaahnnhh~?!
The GGG-ss Righteous Demon Lords Holy Spear impaled his cowardly wife, followed by a series of prating blows!
*****
Where there was a beginning, there was an end.
My Holy Spears rage, which I thought wouldst forever, had finally died down.
Amid this whole process, my wife begged me to take a break, but I didnt let go of her pelvis until the very end.
This was my revenge on my mother-inw!
Whats gotten into you, hubby?
This is all because of my mother-inw, who loves her son-inw more than her daughter!
Mom
Ssosiel, lying motionless on the bed, like a corpse, made a thoughtful expression.
Not only did her mother, whom she believed to be dead, get resurrected, but she also seduced her GGG-ss Husband.
This problem couldnt be ignored.
The two parties had to meet face to face and negotiate.
So what about the inspection?
Hey, husband, answer me first. Where have you been with my mother for 19 years?
Ill exinter.
I have one more question.
Go for it.
Did you do it with her?
If I did, would you be lying on the bed now, exhausted? If that were the case, when we met, I wouldve started cheerfully asking about the situation instead.
Ah, right! Exactly!
So, hows the situation?
It was a shame that I had to give Lanuvel to my mother-inw, but I needed to focus on more pressing problems for now.
Ssosiel, now looking relieved after hearing my answers, summed it all up for me.
The festival was absolute chaos and destruction. Your twins punished the Goddess faction, saying they couldnt forgive the forces of evil that turned against their father.
Is that so?
I was d my daughters grew up to be such good rulers.
The Goddess faction was bombarded with bad reviews since no one wanted to protect that disgusting carcass posing as a Goddess, while the Demon Lord faction had cute twin girls.
Thats embarrassing.
I didnt know about it for a long time, but that was how the Goddess Parmael looked.
And the twins were cute because they looked like me, the cutest emperor in the world of Fantasy.
I didnt even have to manipte the people to vote for me for that title.
But thats exactly what the festival participants thought. During the inspection, factors such as student opinion and satisfaction are also included in the assessment.
Parmael proved useless here too, huh?
That had to be the worst result.
I also thought everything would end like this, but Umamiel resolved the situation.
Who?
The Third Angel. Captain Fantasy had been sucking and licking her for decades.
Ah! Right!
Ipletely forgot about her at some point.
So what happened to that chicken head?
A new task was added to the script based on her idea: save the real Goddess Umamiel, captured by Demon Lord Parmamon.
Did that do anything?
She instantly gained poprity! The twins were so strong that the graduates couldnt save her, but this still prevented us from getting the worst grade. If it hadnt been for her, the school wouldve already closed down.
Heh.
The festival participants who chose the Goddess faction rebelled and overthrew Parmael, then founded the True Goddess Church to save the Third Angel.
When all the participants returned home after the end of the event, the True Goddess Church disbanded, but many of them eagerly awaited the next festival.
I wouldnt have believed it if it wasnt my cowardly wife telling me all of this.
Recognizing her aplishments, I appointed her as Public Rtions Officer despite her past sins.
You did well.
Well, not quite. Our problems didnt end there.
Why? What happened after the festival?
Satan did so well that the inspection decided to test two more disciples.
It took 19 years. There had to be some results.
My wife turned pale.
Everything is confusing.
Your exnation is confusing.
I waited for her to exin the situation to her GGG-ss Husband.
Well Thanks to the monphonemunity enabling information sharing, the students average grades have skyrocketed. And thanks to Satan, the Heroes now find the towers difficulty significantly reduced.
And?
That was good.
Nevertheless, not a single student after Satan was able to conquer the 90th floor.
Naturally!
Although he was a clone with limited powers, Kang Han Soo wasnt weak enough forzy FFF-ss Heroes to defeat.
If Satan hadnt helped them, they would never have been able to get to the 90th floor.
Ssosiel sighed.
Thats the problem. The fourth student they tested died prematurely. And the fifth, although he followed Satans strategy, still lost on the 90th floor. As a result, the inspection team reported the 5th curriculum as a failure and gave us an ultimatum.
An ultimatum?
It was a very sinister word.
Ill exin this part myself, Demon Lord.
Do you always burst into other peoples bedrooms unannounced, Disco?
I apologize, but please keep in mind that I have been waiting a whole month since I received word of your return. And I am not Disco. My name is Distoria, and I would appreciate it if you didnt misrepresent my name. Only my master can give me pseudonyms.
Okay. Im listening.
Wevee to the conclusion that the Fantasy Institution is forcing students to learn from a failed curriculum. It seems to me that your idea with monphones was not entirely sessful. However, this is only my subjective opinion. So I decided to give you a chance.
A chance?
Have you heard of this? The teacher shouldnt only teach theory, but also be able to solve problems in practice.
Aha! You want to test it on me?
Its only fair for you to start in less favorable conditions than the students, isnt it? You just need to get to the 100th floor of the Demon Lords Tower using the body provided by the inspection team within 10 Fantasy years.
Well, just dont make excusester.
These are my terms. To enforce fairness, Director Ssosiel, please wait outside the school. This will be a very important observation.
Ssosiel, helplessly lying on the bed, grew furious.
I am the director!
You have no choice. Do as youre told.
I know this sounds tempting, but it must be a trap, husband! Reject their offer!
Take the opportunity to go on vacation with our son, Ssosiel. I know of a wonderful ind paradise~?
[Demon Realm]
It was a very beautiful ce.
I wanted to see my twin daughters and son, but it would have to wait untilter.
And while this might be a trap, as my wife warned, it wasnt necessarily a bad option.
With my wife and son outside the institution, I would be the only one they could punish if worse came to worst.
An adventure of my life.
No return or regression.
I could only boldly demonstrate the smile of the Righteous Hero.
Looks like youve made up your mind.
Tell me more.
What would these less favorable conditions be?
*****
I arranged for my mother-inw to meet with my daughter and grandson in the Demon Realm.
As soon as she saw her daughter, she would probably want to pounce on her, but her cute grandson should calm her down.
Maybe.
I was a little worried since they were a very strange family.
Anyway
I have other concerns right now.
The game had already started.
? Race: Arch-human
? Level: 1
? Job: Unemployed (Experience 110%)
? Skills: Karma (A)
? Status: Good
I was put in a tertiary education course and was forbidden to use my divine power and the system!
This alone was disappointing, but on top of that, my infamous Karma skill immediately was already at rank A instead of F.
So here it was, their trap.
But I couldnt care less.
Excuse me, Hero, are you listening to me?
Of course not, princess.
Im d Huh?
What makes you think Ill listen to the exnations of the Holy Empires vile heretics?
Heretics?!
I spawned at the capital of the Holy Empire and was greeted by the imperial princess, much like other students.
However, I was clearly underestimated right from the get-go because of my A-rank Karma, but again, I didnt care.
Why?
This is really convenient because I dont have to worry about my reputation and personality~
And that wasnt all.
? Race: Arch-Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Fanatic (Faith Madness )
? Skills: Faith (S), Karma (A)
? Status: Madness
I was relieved of the useless Hero profession.
Using my momentum, I needed to be an SSS-ss Religious Leader as soon as fast as I could!
Chapter 379 - [28th Round] It’s Easy, Isn’t It?
Chapter 379 - [28th Round] Its Easy, Isnt It?
? Zeus: Will the teacher whos been doing nothing but conduct theoretical lessons behind the scenes finally set an example for everyone?
? Odin: Hes undergoing the tertiary education course at level 1 and without skills? Thats dauntless of him.
? Ah: Look, his Karmas ranked A despite D already being extremely difficult.
? Isis: Isnt this a mockery of the students?
? Amon: Forget it. It wont take long before he gives up.
Monsofts goal was to take over the Fantasy Institution.
But that was impossible with power and money alone.
If they wanted to seed, they needed to win public opinion.
If the faculty members made a serious mistake, it would justify their change in ownership.
The inspectorate wanted to tarnish the honor and authority of the Fantasy Institution by humiliating me.
Therefore, my participation became public.
? Notice: The faculty members have carefully considered the Heroesints and concluded to execute no revisions or amendments in educational policy. Instead, a live broadcast of a faculty members demonstration of an adventure shall be held in the monphonemunity. The students can view his stats in real-time, and he wont receive any support from the system. Please do not miss the broadcast.
It was an invasion of my privacy, but I thought this was a good opportunity. After all
I had suffered from boredom for far too long!
The time hade to teach everyone what an adventure would look like if the Hero were a normal person, not some recluse.
? Odin: Ha Did he just acquire an S-rank Faith skill right from the beginning?
? Zeus: Mons Teachings?
? Ah: Are there really people who believe in that religion?
? Piko: Long live Mon!
The ignorant inhabitants of Fantasy would learn of Master Mons greatness!
Mons Teachings united everyone!
If I were a Hero, I wouldve already had an SS-rank skill and reached MAX in one day, but that didnt mean much.
After all, the Hero profession was trash.
I had to work tirelessly on my Faith.
Mons Teachings!
Is the Summoned Hero a follower of Mons Teachings?
How did this happen
Subdue the Hero this instant!
As soon as they saw I was a follower of Mons Teachings, an uproar immediately arose.
They thought I was a nobody, but they summoned a G-ss Hero who knew the whole truth about their world.
This was just the beginning.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Faith
? Grade S
? SS: Punish heretics.
? S: Brainwash heretics.
? A: Find heretics.
? B: Recognize heretics.
? C: Resist conversion.
? D: Resist false preaching.
? E: Strengthen faith through prayers.
? F: Belief.
The Faith skill was fully revealed only from S-rank onwards.
If ones belief werent enough, it would be difficult to find any use for this skill, so I understood why the Heroes didnt use it.
But I was different.
The inspection team gave me a new vessel, but I was still the first apostle of Mons Teachings. Hence, my faith knew no limits.
Listen, foolish heretics!
I taught them the difference between mon and mun.
Mons teaching is sphemous Oh! Glory to Mon!
I believe in the Goddess Kh! No! I only believe in Mon!
Think about it! There can only be one god, and thats Mon!
Mon is the truth!
However, at level 1, my skill was far from being absolute.
The princess, pce knights, and wizards resisted its S-grade effect.
Grab him!
Thats the fallen Hero!
Stop him!
The Holy Empires heretics showed hostility towards the MAX-ss Righteous Hero.
Therefore, a fair punishment awaited them.
Well, Ive been meaning to level up anyway.
My body suddenly became heavy not long after, and it wasnt due to my low level.
Unable to use highly destructive spells since we were in a building, the mages instead applied debuffs on me.
Ive got him under my spell!
Do it now!
Grab him!
The knights apanying the imperial princess rushed at me.
If I sumbed to them here, I wouldnt be worthy of being called the G-rank Hero.
However, it would be unwise to fight knights and wizards at level 1 and without any preparation, considering their level had reached 500 here in the tertiary education course.
Hence
Mons loyal followers! Rise against the heresy that has swept this country asunder!
Mon!
Help the Hero!
Mon! Mon!
The ones I had brainwashed blocked the knights attack with their bodies and attacked the mages casting spells from a safe distance.
This folly wasnt made possible by my skill alone.
Madness.
Combined with the strength of my faith, Madness, a characteristic of my profession, manifested itself in full.
What are they doing?!
Protect the princess!
Theyre out of their minds!
Into formation! Now!
In the blink of an eye, I caused confusion and disarray to dominate near the Summoning Circle of the Wizard Tower.
Giving up on the idea of capturing me, the pce knights hastily turned around and formed a perimeter around the princess to protect her.
As expected.
Haaaa!
Aaaaahhh!
One by one, the followers who leaped at the knights and mages fell, their blood sttering all over.
None of the princesss guards had been killed yet, but they were forced to kill their fellow citizens.
Onwards, loyal followers! No surrender!
I give up Huh?!
Hey, why Ph!
Between their 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, I graciously grabbed the believers who tried to escape out of fear.
How dared they flee in the face of heresy?
If they were only going to show weakness anyway, their lives would be better used to strengthen me.
Skrrr!
I will never forget your noble sacrifice! At least not until tomorrow!
My level went up swiftly.
I didnt have the Hero perks five-fold experience multiplier, but it was still much better than being stuck at level 1.
Level 1 Level 24
As a result, the effectiveness of my skill increased.
Master Mons followers bought me enough time to apply his teachings to myself, thereby changing my body structure to some extent.
The wretched body that the inspectorate gave me had way too many overgrown muscles.
In order to properly strengthen the body, you need to eat enough meat, but this much is enough for now.
The first apostle of Mons Teachings would establish justice in thend of heretics.
Haha! Ill show you how its done!
*****
Monsoft wanted me to reach the 100th floor of the Demon Lords Tower as a regr student.
The means and methods didnt matter.
This was conducted to determine if it was really possible to break through the 90th floor at this difficulty level.
I had to prove that it was.
? Ah: Wow! He started at level 1 and already made such a mess
? Zeus: How did this happen? Someone please tell me this is a hoax!
? Odin: Ive been monitoring his stats. There was no maniption applied to it. The efficiency of all his actions is just off the scale.
? Isis: I should seriously consider joining Mons Teachings.
? Amon: Wow! And I did everything in my power to recruit the princess! What the hell is he doing?
Before them was the True Hero!
I shouldnt bepared to social outcasts.
The principle I used was simple.
Snowball effect.
I brainwashed level 50 beings at level 1 and level 100 at level 10
In ordance with that, I arranged it so that only the princess and one 500 level knight would remain by the time I was done.
How is this possible Kh!
The knight protecting the princess couldnt understand how I was able to grab his neck.
What was confusing him?
If one were a True Hero, it would be possible for them to defeat a level 500 knight even at level 100.
Skrrr!
This battle ended the moment my Faith, which I worked tirelessly on, reached SS rank.
SS rank effect: Punish heretics!
Combining it with Master Mons teachings, my foolish opponents spines broke like fragile twigs.
The princess was the only one left.
What about you?
In response, the princess fell to her knees and said, Mons Revtion Chapter 5, Verse 8. The stupid heretic who refused to believe in Mon witnessed his miracle firsthand, instilling faith within her. Is that enough to answer you?
It is.
I immediately realized the princess striving to take the throne of the Holy Empire had joined Mons Teachings to enter into an agreement with the countries of the Northern Continent.
Her faith might seem weak, but she truly believed that God would help her fulfill her ambitions.
I
Would usurping your fathers throne please you? I know you, silver fox of the Lanuberk family.
I swear loyalty to you.
No longer needing to pretend, she rushed to kiss my feet.
Her clothes and lips were smeared with blood, but she didnt care.
This was her true character.
Throwing my head up, I said, Its easy, isnt it?
What?
Nothing. Forget it.
Anyone could be an A-ss Hero simply by watching this broadcast.
*****
After that, the princess and I invited all the Holy Empires influential people to a reception.
Naturally, it was to turn them into loyal followers.
They all readily epted it.
I didnt even break a sweat.
? Odin: Hahaha! I cant doubt him anymore!
? Isis: The Holy Empire, the starting point of all Heroes, fell into a faculty members hands in just two weeks.
? Luke: Why couldnt I do that? I feel ashamed
? Ah: Dont jump to conclusions. Those who easily seed through religion also quickly fail because of the same religion.
? Piko: Wow! This is impressive! Mon.
All the nobles of the Holy Empire converted to Mons Teachings.
And I didnt even have to brainwash them all.
The nobles were prepared to praise even a normal slime if it would mean preserving their status and well-being.
Soon enough
Greetings. I am Green Cake, the great explorer. I came here out of my sheer desire to meet the Hero.
My adopted child joined my party in the guise of the green-haired boy I knew.
Although he didnt say it out loud, his appearance hinted, I already know who you are.
Immediately after that, Disco joined as well.
I wont bother you.
Judging by her expression and tone of voice, she seemed unhappy that things didnt go the way she wanted.
I answered with the Righteous Heros smile.
Dont worry. It wont take long to conquer the Demon Lords Tower.
I didnt need ten years.
Because
? Race: Arch-Human
? Level: 134
? Job: Monk (Faith Divinity )
? Skills: Faith SSS, Incitement S, Fabrication S, Deal A, Karma A
? Status: Divinity, Holy
By negotiating with the nobles of the Holy Empire, I became a monk.
Monk.
The stronger my faith, the higher my Divinity rose, which now could make even angels fill up with envy.
The advantage of this job was that I could achieve Z-rank and higher without having to break my skills through their limits.
If my Faith were ranked ZZ, my Divinity would be as well.
I could even reach the level of a religious leader in this way!
Moreover, I could just slowly change specializations as I progressed towards the Demon Lords Tower.
Wait! How do you n to break through the 80th floor? Disco asked, ring at me.
Why does it bother you?
Youll be fighting a group of six people, including your clone, and you want to challenge it withoutpanions. I have no idea how that would be possible
Just watch.
Satans method was wrong.
I would show those who followed me how to properly clear the 80th floor.
It was easy too.
Chapter 380 - [28th Round] 2nd Lesson
Chapter 380 - [28th Round] 2nd Lesson
Leave the empire to me and focus on your adventure, Hero. Ill take care of everything here.
The Holy Empire had been reorganized.
The crowned prince, the first in the line to the throne, was sent to the border of the Holy Empire and the Elf Kingdom by the unanimous consent of the nobility.
In blunter terms, he was expelled.
And with unconditional support, the imperial princess became the sessor of the crown.
It happened in just one week.
Well, lets see whates of it.
And I have prepared a small present for you. If you need more, please contact me anytime.
Clink!
A knight, whom the princess pointed at with her gaze, handed me a heavy bag. Within it came magnificent sounds of gold coins clinking, which delighted my ears.
It looks like the empire is in good hands.
Hoho! It is an honor for me to hear such words from you.
This was how trusting rtionships were built.
She was definitely different from the aristocrats and royals who tried to use the Hero by telling him what to do.
Of course, I needed to be able to build rtionships properly. This ythrough would turn out like my first round otherwise. Instead of a bag of gold, she wouldve presented her fake whining, saying, Please help me! Sob!
And if one didnt understand that principle
? Piko: My princess cant be so devious!
? Zeus: What? Is she some other character with the same face? The princess I knew was innocent and whiny
? Amon: Fools. Although I didnt say it, I knew. Her real personality has always been hidden behind her pretty face.
? Luna: This is shocking. And disappointing.
Then they would wonder, Is that really the princess I know? like these losers.
The princess, who had been involved in politics since she was a child, wouldnt show her true colors so easily.
She was very careful, but I shared this secret so that Heroes with an actual functioning brain in their skulls could use this information to their advantage.
I hope our cooperation will be fruitful next year as well.
Hohoho! May Mon always protect you on your adventures.
Mon.
Mon.
We parted ways, exchanging warm words like actors used to working with each other.
As the Righteous Hero, I learned the intricacies of politics while dealing with numerous viins.
Stimting the princesss ambitions was enough for her to start cooperating with me.
But I wasnt going to waste time and wait that long. Hence, I could make any promises to her.
This is fraud.
Disco intervened immediately.
I, the Righteous Hero, who knew about the live broadcast and specifically exined every step, frowned and turned my gaze to my colleague.
It might seem that way if misinterpreted. If I werent nning to climb to the 100th floor in a year, I would have taken a softer approach and personally would have swallowed up the entire empire first.
In a year?
What? Is a year too long?
No! Quite the contrary! Is it even possible to conquer the Demon Lords Tower that fast?
? Odin: Did I hear that correctly? Did he say a year?
? Zeus: Didnt it take Satan almost 20 years? And this teacher started at level 1 with no skills.
? Ah: Haha! Why are you guys so stupid? Do you really believe that cheater?
? Isis: That cheater is clearly better than the senior who still cannot graduate from the tertiary education course.
? Leon: But if he doesnt do it in a year, itll be awkward.
In the aftermath of Discos outrage, a mor arose in the monphonemunity.
I understood their sentiments. After all, many politicians made unrealistic promises like, If you choose me, you will be happy!
But that wasnt my style.
Ill start by teaching you how to clear dungeons.
It was important to be Mons Teachings religious leader, but I needed to level up a little to defeat my clone on the 90th floor.
Of course, if I wanted to, I could challenge the Demon Lords Tower right now.
I had Green Cake, after all.
If he followed my instructions, we could easily conquer the entire tower.
But if the students found out about this, he would no longer be able to participate in their adventures.
The same applied to the others
Supreme Dragon of Oblivion Noebius.
Connoiseur Shakespeare.
Giant King Phoenix.
And even my alter ego, Kang Han Soo, who roamed all over Fantasy as the Righteous Ancient Hero.
If a Hero were to persuade at least one of the four above, theyd be able to go up to the 90th floor with their eyes closed.
Therefore, I was forbidden to recruit them aspanions.
The adventure was so simple that such restrictions and rules had to be set.
My arrow bounced off his body!
Even magic doesnt affect him!
What the hell? My dagger cant hit him either!
Aaaaahhh! A real monster!
Upon hearing the word dungeon, one immediately thought of a cave filled with monsters, but bandits hideouts also fell into that category.
If I wanted to, I could easily clear any dungeon with a clean technique.
But I didnt, considering it would cause the monphonemunity to once again rally up, saying, This is clearly a hoax! Everythings rigged!
To avoid that, I decided to use skills that anyone could check and, in doing so, showed them the power of Monk, an A-rank religious profession.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Divinity
? Rank: SS
? SSS: Receive worship.
? SS: Use Divine Deflection attacks.
? S: Ignore normal attacks.
? A: Receive praise.
? B: Purify Dark Energy.
? C: Use divine protection.
? D: Bestow a blessing.
? E: Resist Dark Energy.
? F: Use divine attacks.
My current job increased my Divinitys rank in ordance with my Faith.
Thanks to this, Monks could fight with their bare hands against monsters, mercenaries, bandits, and other enemies.
One shouldnt forget the effects of Divinity itself either.
Offense, defense, reflection, buffs, incitement It was a universal skill.
Moreover, its S-rank and SS-rank perks couldnt be countered at all if the target had no corresponding countermeasures.
That was why angels, born with Divinity, fought without any tactics.
You look more like an ouw than the ouws themselves.
How so?
Look at what youre doing, and youll easily find your answer.
A level 150 Hero single-handedly attacking a den of level 300 thieves. I see nothing wrong with it.
Well, if you put it that way
Smart students might be wondering right now why I ignored the monsters habitats and attacked the ouws hideout instead.
The answer was simple.
My Mace of Justice will punish all heretics!
? Type: Skill
? Name: Faith
? Rank: SS
? SSS: Seal heretics.
? SS: Punish heretics.
? S: Brainwash heretics.
? A: Find heretics.
? B: Recognize heretics.
Divinity couldnt really be criticized when it came to defense, but its offensive ability was rtively weak.
My Faith covered that gap.
Moreover, I never forgot that I was in a tertiary education course. I knew better than to lower my guard around these ouws.

In the secondary education course, no matter how strong they were, their level never exceeded 150.
However, here in the tertiary education course, they reached level 300 and had honed their actions, techniques, and craft like martial arts masters.
And there were many of them.
However, even they proved no match against me, a Hero filled with faith.
Have mercy! From today on, I sincerely believe in Mons Teachings!
Brother! My parents are followers of your religion!
I never insulted the great being and his teachings!
The robbers begged for their lives.
But I didnt let any of them go.
Instead, I turned them all into my experience points with rtive ease.
Divinitys F-rank effect, divine attack, only offered modest strength, but Faiths ability to punish heretics made up for this deficiency.
However, it required a strict condition before it could be used.
There is no salvation for you who do not see the difference between mon and mun!
My targets had to be heretics.
The very concept of religion didnt work against monsters.
This was why I set my sights on the banditsir instead.
Their boss, a powerful woman with a bare navel, was no exception.
Hohoho! Youre really powerful! Its not toote yet. Swear allegiance to me, and I will make you my deputy. Oh! Naturally, youll be free to engage in religious activities.
Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but well be together forever from now on.
She thought the oue of our battle would be different because she was level 500, but like her members, she was also a heretic.
With her dagger emitting a blue aura, she swung at me, intending to chop off my hand, but I simply reached out to her apathetically.
And grabbed her spine.
You cant use the Spirit Sword technique at Alexs level.
As absurd as it sounded, breaking through my SS-rank Divinity required a ZZZ-rank sword.
The remaining ouws morale broke as they watched their leaders head fly to the side.
Even the boss
We already surrendered!
Why are you so ruthless?!
Psychopath!
Ignoring their senseless chatter, I exterminated every single one of them.
When one attacked the weak, they had to be prepared for the day they, too, would fall victim to the strong.
It was the same with me.
Growing powerful, I became too proud until Master Mon taught me a lesson.
Annihtion F Annihtion E
I got the skills I needed.
It wouldve been ideal to receive ughter as an additional bonus, but it seemed there werent enough bandits.
Hmm. I grew curious as to what themunity was up to now.
? Amon: What did I just see?
? Zeus: Where did Odin disappear to? Is he speechless?
? Ah: Dont fall for this deception, juniors. Divinity is not omnipotent! I know this well since Ive used it myself.
? Luna: Ah, dontpare yourself to my teacher ^^
? Isis: My teacher? I dont know why, but I dont like reading that.
Not bad at all.
I hoped the Heroes watching me had finally realized Master Mons greatness.
Well
As I went further ahead, I left the trifling matters to Green Cake, including the boys being held captive in the ouws hideout.
Where are you going?
Dungeon.
Are you going to do this over and over again?
Of course. We need to take this opportunity before rumors spread. The bandits will flee or start believing otherwise.
Still
Stop wasting time, Green Cake. Finish your mission as fast as possible and follow me.
Yes, father uh, Righteous Hero!
I went from the Holy Empire to the middle of the Central Continent, destroying bandit camps throughout the huge mountain range along the way.
Why did I head there?
In front of me was a mountain range, which was actually Noebius, who had been sleeping for 2000 years. Mermaid Aqua and Pdin Tomato lived in theke next to me, and Saintess A resided in the Holy Kingdom, which ruled this area.
You said you didnt needpanions.
Did I say I was going to recruit them? I just described my surroundings.
Disco shouldnt mislead our stupid viewers who hadnt yet recovered from my previous performance.
I recalled those names for a reason, but I wasnt interested in recruiting them aspanions.
I turned to the skies above.
Watch carefully. I will teach you things so simple its not even worth taking money for.
There might be so many graduates by the end of this broadcast that the Fantasy Institution would be empty.
My cowardly wife would definitely be surprised. Haha!
Chapter 381 - [28th Round] Green Cake? Green Cake!
Chapter 381 - [28th Round] Green Cake? Green Cake!
Although trade was most developed in the Central Continent, Mons Teachings didnt take root that well here, which was unfortunate, considering this was its birthce.
The reason behind it was simple.
The Holy Empire in the northern part of the Central Continent had its own state religion, and the Elf Kingdom in the west was dominated by atheists, the inhabitants of which believed there was no one higher than the elves.
Moreover, opposing the Goddess, the Demon Lord ruled over its southern sector, and the Great Child religion dominated the Trade Republic to the east to ensure unhindered dealings with the Giant Empire. Lastly, the middle area had its own local beliefs.
Dragon God
That was Noebiuss current title, who was formerly known as the Supreme Dragon of Oblivion and the strongest of the Five Great Disasters.
His wife, Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti, built his reputation for the past 2000 years while serving as a Saintess and the ruler of the main trading city of the Central Continent.
While my wife created alter egos of me and used them in her dastardly ns, Erdanti did theplete opposite.
As my dearrade slept, she worked diligently to deify him while raising their children.
I was jealous!
Are you so jealous that you decided to sabotage her?
Discos words couldnt be farther from the truth.
FFF-ss Heroes were watching me right now. I shouldnt engrave such a stupid idea in their even more stupid heads.
Nevertheless
If you want to change professions in a short time, you must be prepared for a little risk. Listen carefully. Religion-based jobs have ranks, but Im going to skip these steps.
Religion-based specializations developed in the same way a persons career did. It would start at kindergarten, followed by elementary, high school, senior high school, college, then finally job seeker.
Likewise, one would start as a follower in my current upation, then fanatic, priest, monk, pdin, high priest, cardinal, religious leader, saint, apostle, prophet, truth seeker.
The highest ranks were prophet and truth seeker, but it would be difficult to climb that far due to myck of time and budget. Hence, Ipromised by targeting the religious leader position instead.
? Job: Religious Leader (Sermon Brainwashing )
? Job: Cardinal (Sermon Divinity )
In both cases, their effects increased or decreased depending on the sermons.
Cardinal was much better than the monk position, but it wasnt as useful for me since I already had a special devotion to Master Mon.
However, the same couldnt be said for the rank above that since it came with the Brainwashing skill, which was extremely difficult to acquire.
The indoctrination of a religious leader was different from normal indoctrination since it was absolute for those who practiced the same religion.
It didnt matter who the target was.
Even the Demon Lords subordinates?
Well, they did imitate me. Naturally, that meant they were ardent followers of Mons Teachings.
My God
***
Numerous difficulties awaited me, the G-ss Hero, as a consequence of my desire to be a religious leader.
Mons Teachings was a religion that boasted 2,000 years of history and tradition, so appropriate recognition was essential to reach its peak.
To shorten that process, one had to convert famous heretics into their religion.
Tomato, Aqua, Alex
? Odin: Is that even possible?
? Zeus: Thats easier said than done
? Ah: He seems to think religion is just a childish prank. If it were that easy, others would have already done it.
? Amon: They are too proud. Alex will never worship a slime as God.
Tertiary education course students always spoke negatively about everything.
Of course, not all of them were the same.
The vast majority of students watched the broadcast calmly without even texting in the monphonemunity.
? M. Satan: I have tried many methods, but I have never even thought of this. It will be interesting to see.
? Isis: Huh? Senior Satan, didnt you graduate already?
? Luna: Look closely. Theres some prefix in his name.
? Luke: Anyway, its nice to see you again, senior.
? M. Satan: Im d to see you too. Starting today, Ill be the trainee responsible formunity moderation. I wish you all the best in the future.
Satan returned to the monphonemunity as an intern.
Themunity was autonomous before, but the director decided that it needed at least one moderator.
My wife was doing her best.
As a moderator, Satans messages werent limited by the chat frequency restriction, which was introduced to prevent flooding in chats.
Hence, he could freely answer all of the students questions.
If you want to preach in this continent, including the Lake of Sorrowful Songs, you must first obtain permission from the Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti. She has poor fighting skills, but her two children are powerfulbatants since theyre following their fathers footsteps.
I wasnt kidding.
While not as strong as Green Cake, they had the skills to counter even Brave at such a young age.
Their mother shouldnt be left out of the equation either.
As the First Saintess, she could heal and resurrect her children as many times as necessary.
Ah! Green Cake! Wee! Are you eating well? How is your adventure?
She loved my adopted son like her own child.
But that attitude irritated him.
Greetings, auntie.
Hoho! Im d you decided toe. Oh! Hero! Id like to wee you as well!
Holding her twins little hands and smiling brightly at Green Cake, she invited us to her guest house.
She didnt even pay attention to me, the G-ss Hero.
Please listen to the Hero, auntie.
How can I refuse your request? Do you want something to drink? We have ck, green, yellow, ck, and white teas.
ck tea, please.
Ah! You have the same taste as sir Noebius.
Listening to their conversation, I waited for the right opportunity to intervene.
I was setting an example for all the Heroes watching. Therefore, it was very important not to make a mistake.
Fortunately, she didnt reveal my true identity.
Lady Erdanti, I havee to you to get permission to do missionary work in your area.
Ah, I can give only one answer. We do not tolerate any other religions than the Great Child.
Hmm?
Not that it was a bad thing, but why that one specifically?
Because sir Noebius recognized the Great Child as his rival. Im not that happy about it, but as his wife, I cannot go against his will.
Is that so
Captain Fantasys sheer size and thunderous wails seemed to have made an impression on Noebius.
Should I switch to the Great Child religion?
Please forgive your disciples insolence, Master Mon, but since Mons Teachings and the Great Child religion were originally the same, the differences in their doctrines are minor anyway.
The problem was the students.
They didnt need to know that the two main religions in the world of Fantasy actually had the same roots.
The Divine Dragon Queen continued.
Thanks to sir Noebiuss presence, peace has been maintained in the middle region of the Central Continent for the past 2000 years. Monsters dont evene close to this ce, and interracial warfare is prohibited here. And yet he doesnt demand anything in return
Land prices have risen in pricetely, havent they?
Yes, but thats not his fault. I made a good investment. This is a separate topic.
It wouldnt be easy to convince her.
Then lets do this. Lady Erdanti and I will arrange a match that both sides must agree on. If I win, you will allow me to preach about Mons Teachings, and if I lose, I will give you Green Cake for a whole month.
A month? Thats nothing but a fleeting moment for me. 1500 years.
Then no deal.
1000 years!
100.
500!
Okay. 500 years.
Do all the participants agree to the conditions?
My son initially gave his silent consent to thepetition immediately when I looked at him with the Righteous Heros gaze.
Now, however, his eyes had widened, surprised by the fact that the period would be 500 years.
He shouldnt worry too much. Even if I failed, Erdanti wouldnt hurt him.
On the contrary, she would treat you no different from her own child.
We need to choose the type ofpetition, Hero.
I dont care.
Are you that confident in yourself? You better not regret thister. Hmm. If so, then lets have a cooking match!
A cooking match? Alright. But we need objective judges.
I agree. But are there such people? I can randomly choose ten people from among the townspeople
Green Cake.
Well cook for him?
Yes, or does that not suit you?
Oh! Thats fine! Itll give me even more strength!
Erdantis eyes, which had been filled with indifference throughout our conversation, sparkled.
? Race: Green Dragon Lord
? Level: 999+
? Job: Priestess (Favor Faith )
? Skills: Faith GG, Resurrection G, Eternal Life ZZ, Healing ZZ, Parenting ZZ, Cooking ZZ, Charm Z, Governance Z, Blessing MAX
? Status: Transformation, Unification, Will
Erdantis cooking skill was ZZ-ranked.
Considering the Holy Empire Chef had a Z-rank in his undergraduate degree, this was absurd.
What did I have?
Nothing.
I need time to gather the ingredients, so why dont we have our duel in a month?
But I nned to get my culinary skill to Z-rank by training hard for a full month.
You seem to have a fondness for that period. How about a year? Meat takes time to mature.
Too long!
Dragons had a very different concept of time.
In the end, we agreed to meet again in 30 days.
*****
Faith was a special skill that didnt require oveing the limit.
Because a persons faith couldnt be measured using the fixed values of the system.
If a person believed in Goddess A but then decided to follow Goddess B, there was no reason for Goddess As betrayer to retain their Faiths past rank.
Consequently, this skill had no division in the transcendent realm, and its rank could be changed ording to its users religious beliefs.
Like this
? Race: Radiant Human
? Level: 382
? Job: Monk (Faith Divinity )
? Skills: Faith ZZ, Cooking Z, Annihtion MAX, ughter MAX, Taste MAX, Incitement SS, Fabrication SS, Deal E, Intelligence F
? Condition: Good
I easily raised my Cooking Skill to MAX in just two weeks.
While mining for ingredients nearby, I constantly boiled, baked, fried, sliced
I wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who sponsored it.
? Odin: He fried robbers pleading for mercy in butter
? Zeus: This teacher is crazy!
? Ah: What does this have to do with cooking?
? M. Satan: Since this is a live broadcast, we can do nothing about it, but this part will be edited out or censored in the rebroadcast for the students who have missed everything.
? Sieg: This is too much.
Common culinary ingredients could also be obtained from the market.
However, to refuse free materials was a waste.
I cooked right after the battle.
I didnt pick any particr race, using any creatures that caused harm to humanity.
As a result, after another two weeks, I reached the Z rank.
I didnt regret choosing Cooking as my first transcendental skill.
After all, a teacher who pretended to be weak once proved to me that it was a useful skill even inbat.
Hero, are you ready?
Yes.
Then lets begin the cooking match for Green Cake!
My dear friends wife seemed to havepletely forgotten the original purpose of thispetition, but it didnt matter.
Ill show you delightful cuisine.
A lot of spectators would be watching this.
I couldnt order Green Cake to praise my dish for its heavenly taste as soon as he tasted it.
It was a little annoying, but I strive for an honest victory.
? M. Satan: The culinary duel for the sweet and beautiful Green Cake is finally underway!
I should remember to have an informative conversation with that insane traineeter.
Chapter 382 - [28th Round] Hero vs. Divine Dragon Queen
Chapter 382 - [28th Round] Hero vs. Divine Dragon Queen
Hoho. I watched how desperately you prepared for our cooking match, Hero, but you still wont be able to defeat me if I do this in earnest.
Well see about that.
Of course. Oh! I wonty down any additional rules. We should just finish our meals by the end of the day. Do you agree?
Yes.
Then lets begin!
Erdanti had collected many ingredients by using all the connections she had made over the years.
The cleanest mushrooms, the most delicious meat, the crispiest carrots, and the sweetest strawberries in the world
I gritted my teeth from such unfairness.
I expected that much.
p!
I carefully dumped selected fresh vertebrae onto the countertop, immediately noting that these werent dragon vertebrae.
I couldnt feed him members of his own race, now, could I?
Rock salt mined from the dungeons, rare medicinal herbs, and unicorn fillets were ced on the cutting board in order.
I expected more. Erdantis expression while she observed me seemed to say that she thought she had already won.
There were all sorts of ingredients on her kitchen table, which was most likely why she had been so confident.
I snorted.
Arge number of ingredients doesnt guarantee your dish will be tasty.
Oh! You seem to have misunderstood. Unfortunately, I dont know what Green Cake likes, so Im nning to cook many different dishes.
After provoking the G-ss Righteous Hero, Erdanti began chopping up the ingredients on her cutting board so quickly it was like watching a machine at work.
Not even a spacecraft from Earth couldpare to her speed.
In fact, she did it a hundred folds faster!
All of her cooking utensils were made of pure mithril to withstand her strength and speed.
? Type: Skill
? Name: Cooking
? Rank: Z
? ZZ: Prevents spoge of cooked food.
? Z: No ingredient cleaning is required for the dish.
? SSS: Summons freezer.
? SS: Summons bonfire.
? S: Prepares food faster.
? A: Eliminates toxic substances from products.
? B: Eliminates excess cooking odors.
? C: Eliminates bitterness in dishes.
? D: Slows down the spoge of cooked food.
? E: Enhances the taste of cooked food.
? F: The ability to cook well.
I reached Z-rank Cooking in a rush, but even still, while Erdanti was already ZZ-ranked before we even set up this match, she didnt use any of the skills effects right now. That could only mean that she personally worked with her ingredients.
She finished cooking in an instant. Although it wouldnt make any difference even if she skipped many of its processes by relying on the systems help, not doing so showed her desire to serve the best dishes for my son.
Well, at least I thought that would be the case.
p!
Erdanti blessed the dishes she prepared, enabling them to lift the dead back to life.
Ah! This will add vor to them.
That wasnt all.
Education, love, happiness, prayer, hope
Just asbat-type skills had synergistic effects, subtypes could also be linked and ovepped, which was exactly what she did right now.
I sacrificed many skills to push my Cooking skill over its limit, but I couldnt even think of such a cowardly technique.
Okay.
I put the prepared vertebrae in arge pot and filled it with cold water.
Afterward, I began to carefully chop the parpar herb, one of the most popr spices in the world of Fantasy, along with green onions.
It might seem like I didnt really have that much of a need for my Z-ranked Cooking skill, but I upgraded it since doing so didnt just unlock new effects.
It also enhanced existing ones.
In this regard, Erdanti, whose culinary prowess was ZZ-ranked, was in a better position.
? Isis: I had my doubts before, but now Im sure. That teacher has no chance.
? Luna: Master worked so hard to prepare Dont give up!
? Gaia: Supporting him wont help.
? Zeus: I thought so.
? Odin: Ha! I thought he was omnipotent, but look how it turned out in the end.
? Ah: Brothers! Lets celebrate!
The monphonemunity was already convinced of my defeat, and the townspeople watching our culinary duel seemed to feel the same way.
They thought the fight was over.
Erdanti wasnt stingy with her ingredients. Quite the contrary, she even unted them.
She used everything she had to prepare a wide variety of dishes.
And she still finished first.
What incredible speed.
There are so many dishes.
I didnt know anything about your food preferences, so I prepared an array of different ones! Dont be shy. Eat to your hearts content.
I see. Ill begin, then Oh!
Green Cakes eyes widened the moment he tried a vegetable and fruit sd that shared the same color as his hair.
Well, what do you think?
Its delicious. The dressing perfectlyplements the ingredients. At the same time, it isnt too sweet, and the lettuce leaves crunch nicely in my mouth, indicating how fresh they are.
Now try this.
Hmmm! Im not a meat-eater, but I think I can eat anything you cook, auntie.
Hehe
The Divine Dragon Queens sorrowful face lit up again as she heard the judges praise.
She constantly served him new dishes as he consumed so much food that an ordinary person wouldve already had an upset stomach.
However, he could handle such an amount with ease since he was a dragon.
The audience could only watch in amazement as the number of tes gradually decreased.
Looks like its already been decided.
How many tes can his tiny body fit?
Im suddenly hungry too.
What is the Hero preparing there?
Lanuvel Beef Broth? Thats what he called it.
Is that the recipe lovely archaeologist Lanuvel taught him?
I hated to break it to them, but they were wrong. Lanuvel didnt teach me this recipe. She served as its main ingredient.
While in the Demon Realm, I tried arge number of beef soups based on her vertebrae, the taste of which even Lanuvel herself, tired of durians and coconuts, couldnt help but acknowledge.
Im almost done.
It took quite a long time to make a good vertebral broth.
In addition, I had a unicorn fillet.
Many people mistook them for a benign divine beast, allowing only virgins to saddle them, but the unicorn I caught assisted an ouw who kidnapped little boys.
Even my Perfect Holy Sword could be a Demon Sword in the wrong hands.
? Sieg: Be honest. Who decided to eat during this broadcast?
? Leon: Me!
? Zeus: Thats so childish. Me.
? Piko: Mon!
? M. Satan: Dont you feel satiated just by watching how Green Cake tastes all the food?
I began cooking rice imported from the Eastern Continent.
I didnt try looking for the best kind but instead just bought the first one I came across while walking through the market, which was hulled rice.
But the Z-rank Cooking effect helped me.
? Z: No ingredient cleaning is required for the dish.
The husks covering the grains were automatically and magically removed.
Well, it turned out nicely.
After the rice finished cooking, I opened the lid, causing hot steam to rise out of it.
Is that food from the Eastern Continent?
Since she followed the Central Continent diet, which mainly consisted of meat and vegetables, Erdanti showed little interest in it.
Upon looking at the cooked beef broth rice soup, her smile widened.
She was already certain of her victory.
I finished the dish by sprinkling fantasy spices on the resulting dish.
You can try it now, Green Cake.
Yes.
He scooped his spoon through the te, picking up as much rice as he could, and brought it to his mouth.
Smells delicious.
Because I found quality vertebrae.
Aaahhm.
Green Cakes shoulders suddenly began to shake. Within a few moments, he began crying.
What was wrong with him?
Are you really that impressed by how delicious the Heros dish was? The Divine Dragon Queen hastily tasted the soup.
Its not bad, but its taste isnt so impressive as to cause tears of joy. Hero, you didnt put something strange here to affect Green Cake, have you?
No! What do you take me for?
I take you exactly for what you are. Im talking about what you have been doing for thest month. Many bandits came running to me asking for help.
Ah! Im sorry. I should have been more careful with them. I must have missed a few by focusing too much on cooking.
Well Haha. Im talking about an entirely different matter.
While I argued with my best friends wife, my son finished all the beef broth rice soup.
For dessert, he had the unicorn beef tenderloin, which didnt cause as dramatic of a reaction as the main dish.
Afterward, the time for evaluation came.
Aunt Erdantis dishes were impable. Its been a very long time since I enjoyed such a variety of vors, and Im honestly delighted that you gave me yet another chance to do so. Please ept my sincerest gratitude.
Hehe
But I give my vote to the Heros dish.
Why?
All it took was one spoonful, and I immediately remembered the taste of my fathers crude dishes, which he improvised using ingredients we found during our adventure together.
Ah
Aunt Erdantis dishes were much better in terms of taste. You didnt know what I liked, but I felt your sincerity and care in all the different dishes you prepared. It definitely warmed my heart. If I werent the judge, you would have easily defeated the Hero. Im really sorry.
Erdanti, who seemed slightly discouraged, returned to her former state.
Thank you very much for your honest answer. I love your honesty.
Youre wee.
Many people in this world lie in an attempt to please others. I wouldve been disappointed in you if you said the Heros dish was tastier.
Im sorry
Dont be. I do not regret choosing you as a judge. Werent you happy to try all the dishes I made? I put my whole soul into it, prepared it as if I was doing it for my own child. Thats why I can admit defeat. I cooked without considering your life experience.
Thank you for understanding.
Come again anytime. I want to keep cooking for you.
If I get the chance
I thought Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti would be furious like a third-rate viin, but she humbly admitted defeat.
Justice emerged victorious!
However, the students whoter tried to please Green Cake by copying my recipe didnt get good marks from him.
No one could replicate his fathers style.

[Priority] S
[Closed Topics are usually used to shorten the time Heroes spend observing a certain agenda by sharing information about it, but today Im using it for a more personal purpose.
This was the first time I saw someone cooking for me so seriously and passionately. It gave me a feeling of happiness that cant be described in words.
Today I ate alone, but I hope to feast with my father, mother, and younger siblings next time. It will definitely be fun.
Oh, Ive also reached a decision.
I will kill the First Hero, whos holding the real Erdanti captive, by tearing him apart with my own fangs.
I hope everyone who watched the attached video shares the same feeling. Mon.]
Chapter 383 - [28th Round] Fivefold Difference
Chapter 383 - [28th Round] Fivefold Difference
? Odin: It was an interesting performance.
? Zeus: How did he win?
? Ah: I have lost the desire to go on an adventure today. I should sleep.
? Isis: This teacher is impressive! He even cooks well.
? Luna: I knew my teacher would win ^^
The G-ss Hero won the culinary duel with a dramaticeback.
Immediately after that, I set out to spread the greatness of Mons Teachings!
Mons Revtion: Chapter 4, Verse 8. No matter how high you climb, he will always be above you.
Mon.
Mon.
I worked hard to earn a reputation for myself.
It wasnt easy since the local beliefs were deeply rooted in the Central Continents people, but not all of them were believers.
Heroes and their possiblepanions were prime examples.
They relied on themselves, believing in their genes instead of depending on a god.
Mermaid Aqua was one such case.
The wonderful Green Cake told me youre a Hero, so Ill believe it. But I must warn you now that I wont follow a weak Hero such as yourself.
I went to thergeke near Noebiuss nest, doing missionary work along the way.
Lake of Sorrowful Songs. Home to thergest poption of freshwater mermaids in Fantasy.
The stupid fish in front of me dared say something nonsensical.
Weak Hero.
There was some truth in it, though. After all, the vessel those dastardly inspectors provided me with was absurdly useless.
But I am stronger than you.
Hohoho! I see youve decided to bluff. Since our meeting gave me the chance to gaze upon Green Cakes handsome face, Ill forgive you this time, but if you try to put pressure on my pride again, I cant promise Ill be able to hold myself back
Did you not understand me the first time? I am stronger than you.
Ho ho ho! I will make you greatly regret your words, Hero.
Ill make a great seafood dish out of you.
? Sieg: This teacher is always in conflict with everyone
? Isis: Oh, look whos speaking. Wheres the photo you promised us?
? Luna: Hes not in conflict. Hes telling the truth, isnt he? Do you have no brains at all, Mr. Sieg?
? Piko: Long live the Mons Teachings! Long live Mon!
I was behaving as I was supposed to.
I shared my knowledge about Master Mons wisdom and greatness for free, but instead of thanking me, this fish provoked me, calling me a weak Hero.
My sense of justice boiled up in me!
Come on, little fish.
Oh? Fish?!
Ill save you from your idiotic habit of judging men by their level.
A mans attractiveness should be assessed not by their level but by the muscle keeping their spine straight.
If it were out of order, they would suffer from a hernia, rendering them unable to use their lower back normally.
What was stupid Aquas level?
? Race: Ultra Mermaid
? Level: 2059
? Job: Hero (Experience 200%)
? Skills: Spear Mastery ZZ, Heat Resistance Z, Speed Z, Singing MAX, Versatility MAX
? Status: Taunted
Did she dare taunt the G-ss Righteous Hero while merely being level 2000?
Her level was only five times higher than mine.
? Ah: That much level difference is impossible to ovee inbat, isnt it?
? Zeus: Werent you going to go to sleep?
? Amon: Dont mind him. The problems of weaklings do not concern us. Whats important is we can easily defeat Aqua.
? Odin: Our level has jumped past 2000, so our victory is assured. Nobodys arguing against that. But that teachers only level 400.
The tertiary education course students who tirelesslymunicated in the monphonemunity seemed to have learned nothing at all.
I was the G-ss Hero.
Since I was in the Fantasy dimension, I had information on most heroes and named monsters. Only the rarely urring random variables could get in my way.
I wasnt fighting blindly.
You have chosen your fate yourself. Even if you beg, I will no longer forgive you.
You better worry about yourself.
We went to the shore of theke to avoid damaging the environment and stood face to face.
Dont you have any weapons, Hero?
My bare hands are more than enough.
Then I will also fight barehandedly. Aqua threw the spear she was holding into the ground.
The mermaids slippery skin did not only enhance their swimming and shine in the sun to help them seduce men, but it also served as natural armor against physical attacks.
I made fun of the womens armored bras, which could barely protect them, but mermaids were an entirely different matter. Even if they were naked, it wouldnt make fighting them any easier.
In addition, their kind was twice as strong as humans of the same level, given they were both naked and unarmed.
Are you afraid to attack first?
I should be the one saying that
Fshuh!
I threw myself into battle without hearing the rest of Aquas reply.
Unlike the fish, who had given up the spear that was supposed to give her maximum advantage, I nned on using all my skills.
By all skills, I meant Faith and Divinity. Those two alone would be enough.
We had a fivefold difference in level.
However, my body, which had absorbed Master Mons teachings, slightlypensated for this difference.
In the name of Mon!
Hmm?!
My dexterity surprised Aqua, who thought of me as a weakling. However, being the best warrior among the freshwater mermaids, she still reacted quickly.
Spear Mastery was her best skill, but she was very talented and had developed Versatility to MAX rank even without it.
We grappled in closebat, exchanging fierce punches and kicks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Unlike me, whocked skills since I used them to ovee my Cooking skills limits, she possessed several S-rank and higherbat skills. If she didnt, our battle would have ended already.
But I didnt care.
Fshuh!
Tsk.
My punch, aimed at her forearm, slid off her skin.
What a pity!
Noticing an opening in my defenses, she decided to strike into it.
It was just as I expected from a stupid fish.
I carefully activated my Divinitys reflection effect, which symbolized the sanctity of an angel.
She probably noticed something strange since she had good instincts. However, she no longer had the time to stop her clenched fist.
sh!
Her attack was deflected away.
It wouldve been easier if I used it right from the beginning, but then Aqua wouldve used her D-rank Divinity.
Aghk?!
She screamed, the bones of her hand tearing through her slippery skin until they peered out.
A pity, really.
Aqua shouldve assumed that I had Divinity when she found out I was a religious person.
SS-rank was quite rare, but if someone worthy of the Hero title was engaged in any religious activity, one needed to be careful.
She could have avoided this by simply enveloping her hand with her D-rank Divinity, but she was reckless.
As a result, I made an opportunity to counterattack.
I wrapped my left arm around Aquas neck like a scarf, then squeezed as hard as I could.
Kh?!
Panting, she struggled to break free from my tight grip; her slippery skin worked against her this time.
She tried to hit me with her other hand, but her pathetic Divinity couldnt harm me.
Well? Death or surrender?
Have you been hiding your skills?
No. You just dont know how to evaluate men.
Aqua destroyed all the chances she had against me when she dropped her spear.
Reflection, Divinitys SS-rank effect, was very difficult to deal with, but if one knew about it from the start of a battle, they could work around it and win against its user.
They just needed a weapon infused with divine or magical power. There were other methods as well.
This Hero
Mons Teachings
A true miracle
The mermaids watching our confrontation on thekeshore out of boredom began raising a fuss.
Those stupid fishes were perfectly aware of Aquas capabilities, and they could roughly estimate my level with the help of their instincts.
Therefore, they believed in my defeat and her victory.
Have you realized the greatness of Mons Teachings now?
Hmph! A cunning trick
What did you say?
If I had my spear, your deception wouldnt have worked Kkh?!
Compressing her neck, she turned pale.
But she didnt give up.
You just cant admit defeat, can you, stupid fish?
I constantly pushed her pride to keep it from happening, after all.
When I deliberately loosened my grip slightly, she shouted, Hero! I demand a rematch! An honest one this time!
Ive already won, so why should I? You must now believe in Mon.
Hmph! Do you think Ill ept the oue of such an unfair battle?
Then die.
Kh!
But I gave her yet another chance.
This stupid fish would fall for my trick again, repeating her humiliating fate during my first round.
SKRRR!
Beforehand, I gave her a herniated disc in her cervical spine, applying strong pressure between her 6th and 7th vertebrae.
Done.
Then lets do it.
What?
Lets have a rematch. If you win, you can forget about Mons Teachings. But if I win, you will live like an ornamental fish defeated by a weak male. What do you say?
I agree!
Mermaid Aqua, in my 1st round, considered me weak. Hence, she agreed to the same risky deal.
And I won again.
Back then, she had a hernia in her lumbar spine. This time I applied it to her cervical spine.
Thinking she could win by using a spear, she was unable to show 100% of her strength due to her injury, suffering yet another humiliating defeat in front of her sisters.
Aqua.
Yes, Hero?
Afterward, I used her to promote Mons Teachings.
Youre really stupid. I told you not to use humannguage.
Mon.
Over the next year, you will not be a mermaid but a pitiful tadpole. If you cant stand it, feel free to kill yourself.
Mon.
She was supposed to remain a tadpole forever in my first round, but after some time, shemitted suicide, unable to stand the humiliation.
That was how mermaids were.
They were ready to do such shameful acts voluntarily if it meant obeying a strong male, but doing it for a weak male disgraced and dishonored them.
Currently, they thought of me as thetter.
Even though I won, my level was low. Hence, in their eyes, I was still just a feeble man.
Aquas expression contorted out of the sheer humiliation she felt.
Ironically, however, she was a proud Hero, so she didnt dare break her promise regardless of the conditions I set.
Nevertheless, I had learned my lesson. To avoid treating her life as lightly as I did in my first round, I limited her punishment to just one year.
Hey, get down on all fours.
Mon?
What did you just imagine? Hurry up.
Mon.
Sitting on her back, I looked up to the skies.
Dont use this as an example since our conditions are different. After all, your level has to be much lower than that of Aqua for this to even be possible. Dont worry, though. If your level is high enough, this fish will voluntarily follow you.
Pretty simple, wasnt it?
Their MAX-ss senior didnt use any sophisticated techniques to avoid confusing his juniors.
I only demonstrated how to effectively use what one had at their disposal.
? Odin: Hey, what the hell is that teacher talking about?
? Zeus: Dont ask. Hes a madman whos ovee a fivefold level difference.
? Amon: I told you not to mind it. This has nothing to do with us. After all, our level is higher. Aqua will be a simple bonus for us.
? Ah: Really? Can you easily beat Alex too?
Aqua was just the beginning.
In the distance, I saw a man approaching me in a boat drawn by many mermaids.
Former Commander of the Holy Kingdoms Holy Knights.
Judging by his expression, losing Aqua, who he desperately wanted to dominate, angered him.
So youvee on your own, Tomato.
My name is Thomas!
Now that I had finished making a seafood dish, it was time to make myself tomato juice.
Chapter 384 - [28th Round] Omnipotence of Mollan’s Teachings
Chapter 384 - [28th Round] Omnipotence of Mons Teachings
Frankly, there were nopanions in Fantasy that I wasnt aware of.
If I searched as hard as I could, there might be one or two. Even so, if I ignored them in the past, then they werepletely useless dummies. That left me with nothing to worry about.
My point was
I lost?
It was inevitable, Tomato.
I knew the fighting style of any of mypanions as well as my own. On the other hand, they didnt know anything about me.
And that difference alone could determine the oue of a battle since spines, once bent as a consequence of a single mistake, could no longer be fixed.
Thomas lost
My prince
I thought he was the strongest!
I feel manipted.
The mermaids watching him raised theirints.
Though they had previously fully supported him, the fishs attitudes changed dramatically.
They were brutally honest about it.
Before Tomato lost to me, they really were rooting for him with all their hearts.
But now?
They doubted his genes after he lost to a weak Hero.
They could fall out of love just as easily as they fell in.
Such was their nature.
Thetter happened quite rarely, though.
? Luke: Holy Knights Commander Thomas. Hes ranked 3rd in terms of poprity among female Heroes, but his fame has since dropped due to his promiscuity in the new curriculum. Regardless, his skills remain top-notch. Did I say everything right?
? Isis: 3rd?
? Luna: Thats outdated information based on the 4th curriculum. Thomas from the 5th curriculum is of little interest. Chris, the Northern Continents genius swordsman, is the new craze!
? Lilith: The poprity ranking of malepanions ording to monwiki: Green Cake (younger version) in 1st, Green Cake (older version) in 2nd, Chris in 3rd, Nasus in 4th, Kang Han Soo in 5th, and Thomas only in 6th.
? Maria: Hey! Stop ndering Thomas!
Holy Knights Commander Tomato, refusing to apany the impregnable Saintess A, founded a harem with mermaids and reigned over thiske as its king ever since. However, this glorious life came to an end when he was defeated.
All the mermaids abandoned him.
Ah, my harem
The tomato, who had lost everything he had, fell into depression.
He turned into ketchup, not tomato juice.
Nevertheless, I decided to help him.
Open your soul to Mon, Tomato, and you shall understand how pathetic and little of a tomato youve been all this time. Henceforth, you must realize your true purpose.
My name is Thomas! How many times do I have to repeat Kh?!
You talk too much. Spend the next year begging to be forgiven for your sins.
Everything went ording to n.
My poprity skyrocketed when I converted Aqua and Tomata into neophytes.
I didnt recruit them aspanions.
I made believers out of them.
There was a big difference between those two concepts.
Aqua and Tomato abandoned atheism and became Master Mons loyal followers after hearing doctrines about his teachings from the righteous G-ss Hero!
When rumors about it spread, all the glory went to me.
Whats the difference between this method and recruitingpanions?
Despite previously iming she would remain silent, Disco suddenly raised a question.
She couldnt seem to make sense of anything.
Companions are pests that devour the Heros reputation. Even if the Hero did everything alone, they would be forced to share their glory with them.
But they provide a lot of help, dont they?
How is that any different from mercenaries?
The Hero leads the people.
Then how is that any different from mercenary leaders? Is it that Heroes are cheaper? Haha! There are quite a few like that among mercenaries. Despite having high skills, since theyre not being advertised, they suffer from low visibility. However, that also means their service fees are a lot more economical.
That was howpanies worked.
Despite having outstanding capabilities, new employees couldnt fully spread their wings and soar due to their low positions.
Likewise, in the mercenary industry, reputation was more important than skills. After all, there were many cases in which mercenaries turned into bandits during missions.
In that sense, the Hero was nothing more than a mercenary whose reputation was guaranteed by a Fantasy god.
No more, no less.
For a Hero to be different from a mercenary, they must have power so overwhelming they would no longer require the help and sacrifice of a third party. Such power can onlye from Mon!
Everything you said sounded convincing, but why did you have to bring it back to Mon?!
Thats a stupid question. All roads lead to Mon!
I couldnt understand her.
Wouldnt an employee of Monsoft, one of the leadingpanies in the universe, know the greatness of Mon?
Shouldnt she be considered a fraud otherwise?
The way you look at me is making me ufortable.
Thats great.
And you openly admit it! You really Ahem! I should just stay silent.
I spread rumors all over the ce afterward.
Delighted by the Righteous Heros words, Aqua and Tomato became ardent acolytes of Mons Teachings, believing in the Great Being withoutints.
Such was the difference betweenpanions and followers.
Hero.
Did I allow you to speak using the humannguage, Tomato?
I need to ask you something.
No.
Please, listen to just this one request! Please!
He reminded me of how Lanuvel pretended to be cute.
I didnt like it, but my instincts, supported by my 200 years of experience, told me I should listen to him.
Fine. Ill allow it just this once.
Thank you! Ahem. Please convert the Holy Kingdoms Saintess with your wisdom, Hero. In doing so, I promise to be a true worshipper of Mons Teachings!
Ah, thats right. Youve been dreaming about her ass, havent you?
Ahem.
Realizing he had no chance, he left his homnd, which revered him as a hero, and founded a harem.
That event wasnt in the 4th curriculum.
Even so, his unrequited love for her seemed to have remained unchanged.
Alright. Ill consider it, but you need to pray to Mon regrly.
She would soon reveal herself on her own anyway.
To bring back her childhood friend Aqua the mermaid.
*****
When I challenged her, Saintess A didnt evenst 3 seconds.
All I did was provoke her a little, and she swiftly flew into a rage and epted my challenge.
Whose faith is deeper?
Hearing those words, Saintess A found herself unable to refuse.
How could the recently summoned Hero have such faith?
Bearing witness to my blinding divine radiance, she fell down due to sheer shock, her ass plopping onto the ground.
Her reaction wasnt that unexpected.
I, the Hero who just came from another world, turned out to be an ardent follower of Mons Teachings, one of Fantasys popr religions. What was possibly even more surprising for her was that the strength of my beliefs surpassed even hers.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldnt make sense. In fact, to understand it, one had to first learn the difference between mon and mun.
With the Righteous Heros smile, I replied, Because I am the True Hero.
All the others were just pathetic copycats.
? Ah: Did he teach the basics of religion in school? Achieving Z-rank Faith is already difficult enough as it is since its limit couldnt be ovee by sacrificing skills, yet his is already ranked ZZZ?
? Odin: And due to his Monk profession, he now has ZZZ-rank Divinity to go along with it. This is insane!
? Zeus: Whats wrong with the Saintess?
? Luna: Im actually curious about her. What would happen if someone elses faith defeated her?
A clever student among the idiots raised a really good question.
Youre supposed to be the one most devoted to God in this world, yet your faith still lost to mine. You are not worthy of your Saintess position.
Ah
I had no way to strip someone of their profession.
The system itself was the only one who could do that.
However, it was important for her to feel unworthy of her current job upon hearing my words.
? Race: Holy Human
? Level: 1590
? Job: Saintess (Faith Resurrection )
? Skills: Faith ZZ, Healing Z, mor Z, Virtue Z, Preaching MAX
? Status: Holy
That was her stats before she met me. Now, however, it had changed into this.
? Race: High Human
? Level: 1590
? Job: Religious Leader (Preaching Brainwashing )
? Skills: Healing Z, mor Z, Virtue Z, Preaching MAX, Charm MAX
? Status: Despair, Confusion, Self-getion, Regression, Denial
Saintess As new upation was truly rubbish.
It wouldve been apletely different matter if she had be the leader of Mons Teachings. Unfortunately for her, she only became the head of a minor religion prevalent only in the Holy Kingdom and a few small countries.
Her Brainwashing was probably only ranked B.
Compared to her previous profession, which allowed her to bring the dead back to life, it was utter garbage.
There were over 30 healers under Mons Teachings whose Healing rank was equal or even higher than hers now that she had lost her previous job.
I was in the higher education course, after all.
Even so, she could still prove useful to me.
You can be an amazing tool for public rtions. Tomato, Im leaving her in your care. I dont think youd dare give up your love and run away now anyway.
Mon! Mon! Mon!
Tomato hugged her narrow waist as he praised the Great Being. He couldnt even hold her hand in the Holy Kingdom before.
I checked his stats.
? Race: Holy Human
? Level: 3214
? Job: Holy Knight (Divinity = Blessing )
? Skills: Life Energy Z, Divinity Z, Faith MAX, Swimming MAX, Sword Mastery MAX
? Status: Delight, Faith, Corruption, Praise
His Faith skills rank, which used to be at the very bottom, sharply rose from F to MAX.
The power of love was impressive! At this rate, he would reach Z rank in no time.
My reputation had grown even more.
Thats not a problem, is it?
It was like rewriting history.
Without Saintess A, the Holy Kingdom was immediately annexed by the Holy Empire under the princesss orders.
Having lost her faith and destiny, she could now only rely on Tomato, regardless of how unprincipled he was. Hence, in just a few days, she became his wife.
Their magnificent wedding ceremony took ce in the Temple of Mons Teachings.
More importantly
Youre a curious Hero.
Youre no different from me.
I now faced the most dangerous person.
This was definitely not a coincidence.
He probably came to check the shocking rumor that Tomato and Saintess A were married.
Haha! Nice to meet you, dear junior. I am the MAX-ss Righteous Hero.
Kang Han Soo, my alter ego created by my cowardly wife.
Get lost.
Oops.
Fshuh!
Fshuh!
We grabbed each other by the neck between our 6th and 7th vertebrae. As I tried to tighten my grip, I stopped abruptly.
I realized it. If this continued, we would both die.
Let go.
You let go first.
This was why I didnt want to face him.
Stop it, fathers Heroes!
If not for Green Cakes intervention, everything would have ended rather disappointingly at that moment.
*****
As a result, Kang Han Soo, without anyones permission, joined my party.
However, he didnt take control of my adventure as he did with our other pathetic juniors. After all
Starting today, junior
What is more important to you? Master Mon or adventures?
Master Mon, obviously.
Since my Faith is higher, we will proceed ording to mymand. Mon.
Tsk.
Kang Han Soo obediently followed my instructions, albeit with an anger-filled expression.
If we fought with each other, I wouldve lost, but I managed to avoid certain death due to my Faiths absolute superiority. He couldnt resist Master Mons will.
? Luke: This is the omnipotence of Mons Teachings Theres no other way to describe it.
? Zeus: Omnipotence? Thats insane!
? Luna: Admit it already!
? Isis: Wow! Mons Teachings are truly impressive! He even tamed Kang Han Soo himself!
? Lilith: Maybe I should give it a try too.
? Piko: Embrace enlightenment. I have been trying to guide you towards the right path for so long now. This teacher is amazing.
? Ah: Now I feel sorry for Satan, who spent 19 years collectingpanions.
? Leon: Kang Han Soo ] 49panions
? Sieg: My condolences
? M. Satan: It was the best avable method at the time since I wasnt aware of Mons Teachings greatness. Its doctrines were tooplex
With the entry of Kan Han Soo, the unitsbat power increased by about 60%.
It was already possible for me to conquer the tower even now.
However, I decided to head to the Dumplings Kingdom instead.
Greetings, Hero! My name is White Chicken!
The Snow Woman, a mutant harpy, weed us by pping her wings.
She was d to see her owner after so long.
And Im Alex, her husband. That being said, I didnt think you would actively help the Hero
Alex calmed his wifes excitement and turned to Kang Han Soo.
Shrugging, he replied, Dont mind me. Im a new convert. Mon.
Uh Is that so.
I showed my Righteous Heros smile to the GG-ranked swordsman who could single-handedly climb to the 80th floor.
Mons Revtion: Chapter 8, Verse 19. Ignorant married man, remember who made you happy by bringing you an armless wife
Mon.
Mon will show us the way.
With this dream team, conquering the Demon Lords Tower would be a walk in the park.
Chapter 385 - [28th Round] What Are You Teaching?
Chapter 385 - [28th Round] What Are You Teaching?
Its be too easy.
Kang Han Soo joined my party of his own free will.
He was certainly extremely useful, but the problem was that this was a live stream that all the other Heroes were watching.
To keep him from taking the initiative, I blinded him with the greatness of Master Mon.
To understand so much the greatness of Master Mon This is my first time meeting a junior like you. Im impressed.
Hahaha
Unfortunately for him, there was still no such junior.
The fact that my past self praised me was something special, though.
It was a nice feeling.
Saying something like that despite being stingy withpliments was proof he had changed for the better.
Moreover, I gained two more members
Alex, Alex, my legs hurt.
Let me carry you on my back.
Hehe! Thanks.
No. Thank you for always being with me, Snow Woman.
Hehe! I cant sleep, Alex~
Try to count the stars.
Yes~ My eyes are closing by themselves now. Good night, Alex.
Sweet dreams.
The strongest swordsman in all of Fantasy, as always, took care of his wife.
Any monster that could prevent Snow Woman from sleeping couldnt even get anywhere near before he cut it from a distance.
This made the adventure enjoyable.
? Odin: Hes only been here for three months, but he already has the strongest party.
? Zeus: Recruiting Sword God Alex is prohibited!
? Luna: Just because you cant do what the teacher can doesnt mean its forbidden, Zeus.
? Sieg: The Alex I knew wasnt like that
They shouldnt misunderstand my situation.
Due to Kang Han Soos sudden intervention, I immediately changed ns and took the opportunity to bring Alex into the party. However, one shouldnt expect too much from him.
Alex would never put his life on the line to avoid turning his armless wife into a widow. That was precisely why he would never attack Kang Han Soo on the 90th floor. He knew his strength all too well.
It didnt matter, though.
Lets try to count all the fools who do not understand the greatness of Master Mon one by one.
My current goal was to improve my profession.
For this, in addition to having faith, it was also necessary to achieve outstanding achievements.
On that note, changes had already urred in my stats.
? Race: Great Human
? Level: 734
? Job: Cardinal (Sermon Divinity )
? Skills: Faith ZZZ, Cooking Z, Incitement MAX, Fabrication MAX, Annihtion MAX
? Status: Holy
However, I actually became a little weaker.
Unlike the Monk specialization, which made ones Divinity proportional to their Faith, the Cardinals Divinity depended on sermons, which negatively affected me.
Cardinal was definitely better than Monk, but as absurd as it sounded, my Divinity dropped from ZZZ to ZZ.
I didnt mind, though.
I dont need that kind of profession anyway.
This was just a checkpoint.
The rank of my faith would automatically grow over time, but I still had no time to rest since my current upations strength was closely rted to my missionary work.
I was able to rise to Cardinal in such a short period due to the famous atheists I lured over to Mons side.
But that was it.
No one on the Northern and Western Continents didnt believe in Mons Teachings, and the Great Child religion dominated the Southern Continent.
On the Central Continent, Alex was thest famous atheist.
It might seem like an expedition to the Eastern Continent was my optimal choice right now, but famous people, like the Pirate Queen and the Bandit King, had alreadye to believe in Mon thanks to Green Cake.
Will you finally go to the tower?
No.
I answered Discos question without much hesitation.
If I went there in my current state, I would lose on the 90th floor.
Starting today, I decided to deal with the troublemakers on every continent and build friendships with local rulers.
I began by apprehending those causing problems in the Central Continent.
Stop them! Theyre just Huh?!
Theyre too strong!
Agghhh! Who are you
Why are you doing this, Hero?!
The dummies and I went to the Elf Kingdom, whose inhabitants believed in the superiority of their race over all others.
Unlike the Elf Empire of the Southern Continent, ruled by the wretched Elf King, the elves of thisnd, hostile to humans, were a bunch of worthless traitors.
Nobody could stop us.
Kang Han Soo and Alex took the lead, clearing the way to the royal pce.
Look, those are humans.
On average, elves had higher skills and levels than humans, but they didnt have infinite growth potential.
The Human Hero, equipped with limitless possibilities, easily broke through the elves defenses and grabbed their leaders neck.
Kh?!
Its you again.
ording to genealogy, he was the son of Elfheims second wife.
It looked like Nasus and Sylvias biological father hadnt changed at all. What differed was that his children followed their grandfather Elfheim.
Hmm? I couldnt find his wife.
In the 4th curriculum, she was kidnapped by demons and had fun with my father-inw.
Where was she now?
Well, it doesnt matter.
SKRRR!
I tightened my grip.
While helplessly resisting, the viins body sagged.
I would be a bastard if I left the country in this chaotic situation.
I looked back at Tomato, who was enjoying his honeymoon with Saintess A.
Mon?
Tomato, dont be nervous. I just want to entrust you with the Elf Kingdom.
Mon!
I know youre not good in politics. Thats why you need to cooperate with the princess of the Holy Empire. Dont do anything stupid, you hear me? If you dont take this seriously, youll lose everything.
Mon! Mon! Mon!
Yes. Thats the spirit.
The G-ss Heros party left Tomato and Saintess A behind to head to the Western Continent!
*****
Today marked the 81st day of my adventure.
I originally intended to do it all in one year, but with the addition of Kang Han Soo and Alex, my progress had elerated.
Even so, I wasnt wasting my time.
As far as I know, the Western Continents Empire of Eternal Night already has Mons Teachings as their state religion. So why are we going there?
Didnt you hear me say I need to build friendly rtions with the rulers of different continents, Disco?
I did.
Then why are you still asking me that?
Im just making sure you dont do anything suspicious that would break the rules weve set.
Do I need to vite anything with the currentbat strength of my party?
Disco displeasingly grimaced but remained silent.
She, too, was aware that Kang Han Soo and Alex were enough for me to easily climb to the 80th floor of the Demon Lords Tower.
The problem was the 90th floor.
To solve it, I set working on my reputation as my top priority.
I wee you and your colleagues into our territory, Hero. I am the Empire of Eternal Nights Empress, and I am in charge of Connoisseur Shakespeares evenings
Oh! Please refrain from makingments that may mislead guests, Your Majesty.
Hmm? Im just telling them the truth, Shakespeare. Tonight as well, your blood and flesh Oops!
Wee. I am Shakespeare, Grand Duke of the Empire of Eternal Nights human race.
The Connoisseur, married to the most beautiful woman and empress of the Western Continent, looked cheerful.
Thank you for your hospitality. Seeing you get along so well warms my heart.
The Western Continent developed technology so advanced they even surpassed Earths inventions.
To defeat Kang Han Soo on the 90th floor, I would need more than Master Mons teachings.
The time hade to reap the seeds I sowed a long time ago, the rewards of my efforts.
Haha! We advocate for Fantasys peace and will spare no effort to support you, Hero. Lets begin by upgrading your monphone.
Thanks.
Dont thank me.
All Heroes received help from him.
Equipment rental, free amodation, job offers, outdoor training grounds, issuance of passes, free public transport
Shakespeare followed my order to actively help the Heroes.
I never thought the day woulde when it would benefit me.
I want to borrow a weapon.
Haha! Let me show you our arsenal. In addition to weapons, we have various advanced equipment avable, ranging from F-rank to SSS-rank. Naturally, the higher the items rank, the higher its rental fee. If you lose or damage equipment without insurance, you will have to pay the full cost of the materials used to manufacture it, so be careful.
I didnt even have to take a look at what they had avable in their armory.
We nned and created the SSS-grade weapons together, after all. Armed with any of them, one could easily break through the 40th floor of the Demon Lords Tower, even at level 1.
There was nothing I could do about it, though.
I wouldnt be able to avoid suspicion if I picked a weapon without first inspecting their arms depot right in front of my juniors watching the live broadcast.
This, this, this, and this.
As soon as I entered their armory, I pretended to look around and quickly selected the armaments I needed.
Each of them, of course, was SSS rank.
Embarrassed, Shakespeare asked, Have you seen their prices?
Yeah. But it says that I can rent the weapons by paying 2% of the original price as a deposit.
But if even one of them were lost or damaged, I would be in big trouble.
Shakespeare shook his head.
Im sorry, but whats there to talk about if you have no money?
I can mortgage valuable property, right?
Yes, but you dont seem to have anything valuable enough
Aqua.
What?
This level 2000 freshwater mermaid princess should be good enough as coteral, shouldnt it? Even if shes stupid and useless, please ept her for the sake of saving the world.
Okay.
Thank you very much!
I will never forget Aquas sacrifice! At least until tomorrow!
*****
To ensure the Righteous Hero wouldnt be considered an FFF-rank waste, I immediately noted that Aqua was happy with this decision.
You sold yourpanion
Can you stop doubting me, Disco? When did I do that?
Just now.
Aquas never been mypanion.
Disco, unable to deny the G-ss Righteous Heros fair logic, fell silent.
Leaving Aqua behind as coteral, I gained 4 SSS-rank weapons.
1) Beta Version of the Android Hero
2) Rechargeable S4 Lightsaber
3) Heavy Duty Sticky Tape #3
4) Five-Senses-Influencing Drone Pro
I developed these advanced armaments with Shakespeare in hopes of somehow helping my juniors in their adventures.
They had never been used yet, though.
I didnt think I would be the first.
Nevertheless, I immediately threw them all into Green Cakes four-dimensional pocket, knowing full well how problematic it would be if they were damaged before our battle against Kang Han Soo on the 90th floor.
Afterward, I checked my updated monphone.
? Luke: My Aqua
? Leon: Use apanion as coteral! Thats genius!
? Ark: It seems Aqua isnt only a versatile vanguard fighter but also a valuable initial deposit!
? Piko: Maybe I should try that too.
? Kevin: Dont be fooled! I imitated that teachers tactics, but I immediately fell from the spear of an extremely angry Aqua T-T
It seemed there would always be people whod find something toin about, no matter how illogical or little it was.
I activated the GPS navigator, a newly installed feature in my monphone.
Pip, pip, pip
Great work.
It kindly indicated the nearest location of amenities such as flush toilets and restaurants.
And if I dug a little deeper in its functions to apply a filter
Pip, pip, pip
I could also find the current whereabouts of wanted criminals tracked via satellites.
That wasnt all.
[Do you want to start training?]
I could go through training to receive Monpis, the Holy Sword of Vampires, hidden in the Western Continent of Fantasy.
Shakespeare was the creator.
I served as the sponsor.
Trainee Teacher, beautiful both in body and soul, was our consultant.
Ah, Trainee Teacher I badly want to see your spine
? Embarrassment: What are you talking about during your live broadcast?
Hmm?
? Greetings: Disciple Kang Han Soo Oops! Counselor! How are you Oops! Please focus on the broadcast!
So nice to hear from you again, Trainee Teacher! Did my cowardly wife mock you? Are you suffering from a spinal injury?
? Displeasure: Please focus on the broadcast!
Whats wrong with the broadcast?
So what subject are you teaching now? Biology? Anatomy?
Chapter 386 - [28th Round] The Power of Religion
Chapter 386 - [28th Round] The Power of Religion
? Request: Ill tell you moreter, Counselor Kang Han Soo. For now, focus on your adventure.
Tears welled up in my eyes because of how cold Trainee Teacher had be. Even though this was our firstmunication in such a long time, she acted as if she was the embodiment of the northern winds
My cowardly wife probably threatened her.
? Odin: Hmm? The teacher suddenly let out a tear.
? Zeus: Whats wrong with him?
? Ah: Is he crying? Dust probably got into his eyes!
? Luna: He sheds tears for the suffering of the human race.
? Sieg: That makes sense. Humans there obey vampires.
I continued my adventure as the cold Trainee Teacher requested.
Monpis, the Western Continents Holy Sword, could be obtained bypleting the tasks given by the improved monphone.
Shakespeare and I invented these missions, so I wasnt surprised by them.
[1. Destroy 5,000 Little Biancas.]
[2. Destroy 500 Medium Biancas.]
[3. Destroy 50 High Biancas.]
[4. Destroy the Bianca Factory.]
[5. Destroy 5 Superior Biancas.]
[6. Destroy the?-ss Bianca.]
They were so simple that even the elderly wouldnt find them confusing.
One could obtain the Holy Sword by destroying 5556 Bianca battle androids, modeled after Teacher Morals, and the factory that produced them.
It was easy enough.
I hope we get a final boss at the end that transforms into a super robot
That was problematic. Without your help, Kang Han Soo, I wouldnt have been able to fight while carrying my wife on my back.
Kang Han Soo, who summoned Holy Sword Nucleon, and Alex, giving the Snow Woman a piggyback ride, destroyed all the Biancas.
Green Cake collected the gold coins from the destroyed androids bodies.
As for me, I didnt have time to waste on androids that didnt even provide me with experience.
Trainee Teacher! Trainee Teacher!
? Irritation: Okay, okay, enough already! Ill tell you everything! I wasnt originally supposed to appear until after the broadcast Anyway, I became a morality teacher, taking over Biancas position.
Morality Teacher!
I was very curious how Morality Teacher, a beauty both in body and soul, taught the social outcasts.
Please tell me! Quicker!
? Humility: Its nothing special. I help worthless Heroes neglecting their adventures because of their reckless lust to realize the bitterness of such a life.
Oh! That was amazing!
I thought Sociology Teacher, who raised pets and assigned them to these social outcasts, was the one who worked the hardest.
But it seemed he was far from being the busiest of them all.
After all, Trainee Teacher No, Morality Teacher was great!
? Embarrassment: Dont tease me. Tweaking the ss sybus that Bianca left behind to suit my own style took me quite long. And I also learned how difficult it is to teach others.
Yes. It was definitely hard, but Morality Teacher was too modest.
After all, she took care of me and raised me into bing the G-ss Hero.
You can be proud of yourself.
? Denial: No, I cant. I was assigned to Sieg for the teacher qualification exam, making it extremely difficult. Its a shame to admit this, but I wanted him to just drop out so that all of my problems would end. Im a really bad teacher
Sieg again!
Whileforting Morality Teacher, Kang Han Soo and Alex destroyed the factory and defeated thest boss.
[You havepleted your training.]
[Grade: GG+]
[Rank: 1st]
[Base Reward: Monpis]
[Rank Reward: Space Station]
I didnt lift a finger, but thanks to Mons great followers, I took first ce in the overall ranking.
The rank reward was automatically added to the Heros personal file, so it could still be used even after regression.
I did it all with Shakespeare out of boredom, but it worked out well.
[1st ce: Space Station]
[2nd ce: Aircraft Carrier]
[3rd ce: Battleship]
[4th ce: Cruiser]
[5th ce: Destroyer]
[6th ce: Transport Ship]
[7th ce: Right to Choose One SSS-Rank Weapon]
[8th ce: Right to Choose One SS-Rank Weapon]
[9th ce: Right to Choose One S-Rank Weapon]
All men dreamed of having their personal air transport.
Moreover, judging by how my cowardly wife proudly rode her obscenely screaming stingray around, it seemed not only men were obsessed with it.
These were pretty generous awards.
? Shiva: Aaagh! That vile teacher! He took first ce away from me! Give me back my space station!
? Opion: You were in first? Whats your grade? Im in 2nd ce with a ZZ grading. Oh! I guess Im in 3rd now.
? Baal: 2nd ce with ZZ? But I have the same grade. Did you finish it before I did? Anyway, I have a cruiser now.
? Zeus: The dead have risen from their graves!
? Odin: Wow! Look at these people that havee to see us!
? Ah: We were visited by ancient ghosts
I decided to use Monfors, built for me by Shakespeare but had only been lying dormanttely, as a reward.
Its efficiency and power, which was too great, had been reduced ordingly so the Heroes could use them.
Linked to ones monphone ount, it could be summoned and used as soon as they started their adventure, like what Richel had done in the past.
That aside
I was just trying to get the Holy Sword, but I won first ce. This is embarrassing.
I wasnt lying.
I didnt strive for this.
All this time, I just talked to the cold Morality Teacher.
Heres the Holy Sword, Hero.
Ah, thanks.
Hehe
Green Cake handed me the weapon he took from the ruins of the Bianca factory.
Monpis, the Holy Sword that absorbs other equipments abilities and effects.
If it absorbed armor instead of a weapon, one could summon it at any time and equip it.
Click, click.
It sessfully integrated the advanced suit I received from Shakespeare.
It fit snugly around my body like a wetsuit and had built-in temperature control and environmental disguise.
Are we going to move now?
BRRRRRRR!
The space station I received for ranking 1st at the training hovered over my head.
[Would you like to board, Captain?]
The weakened Monfors.
It had 5,000 android crew members on standby, and more could be produced forbat.
In addition, the crews appearance could be adjusted to suit the tastes of their captain. Handsome guy, pretty girl. Anything.
Yes.
I did nothing butmunicate with Morality Teacher, who remained cold, yet thebat power of my party increased dramatically.
? Apologetic: I didnt mean to treat you coldly. After what happened with student Sieg, I lost confidence in myself and became obsessed with the idea of doing everything right
Was Sieg actually the source of all evil?
If I had known this was going to happen, I would have done more work on his upbringing before he died on the 1st floor of the Demon Lords Tower.
If I passed this inspection safely, Id be sure to take him on.
Just wait, Morality Teacher! Ill even promote you to be my personal secretary. That way, youll only have to care about my morality!
?Rejection: Im very sorry. I really appreciate your offer, Counselor Kang Han Soo, but I still want to help the students get back on the right track.
I suddenly feel like getting drunk. Set a course for the Giant Empires capital on the Southern Continent.
Monfors, hearing mymand, activated.
[Route creationpleted.]
[ETA: 94 seconds]
The G-ss Hero and his party headed to the Southern Continent!
*****
In the Southern Continents Elf Empire, a bug who received orders from my mother-inw imitated Elf King Elfheim.
Hence, the Elf Empire gradually prepared for war, strengthening and increasing its weaponry and troops beyond what was necessary.
But the Giant Empire lived in peace.
It was the most powerful nation in all of Fantasy, after all.
? Race: Tall Giant
? Level: 1281
? Job: Monk (Faith Divinity )
? Skills: Faith Z, Super Strength Z, Size MAX, Two-handed Sword Mastery MAX, Fortitude MAX
?Status: Prayer, Enlightenment
A baby recently descended on theirnd and taught the Giant King a lesson using his plump buttocks.
Thousands of the Giant Empires inhabitants witnessed that spectacle and, recognizing his greatness, began to erect a huge statue in his honor near the pce.
Of course, their piety rose to the skies.
This is horrifying.
All the giants that came into view had at least Z-Rank Faith.
I was considered a semi-hero on other continents, but here, I was no different from an ordinary warrior.
Given their racial superiority, the actualbat power of such a giant wasparable to that of a level 2000 Aqua.
Such was the power of Faith!
Such was the power of the Great Child religion!
Such was the strength of the Giant Empire!
It was only natural that the Giant King, who had be a martyr for raising the Faith of his people, felt very ufortable.
Have youe for the Holy Sword, Hero? Giant King Phoenix, currently in the form of a human, asked as he lounged imposingly on his throne.
I hadnt seen him show such a cocky attitude towards me for quite a long time. It was pissing me off, but all I could do was endure it since I shouldnt reveal my true identity.
Yes, Your Majesty.
ording to the oath I took in ancient times, I will give you the Holy Sword if you pass my test
Before that, I can no longer hold myself back from voicing this out. The empire I saw from the skies is truly beautiful. Its streets are clean with no trace of poverty, and its children are brimming with happiness. I know it is all thanks to Your Majestys great reign and grace that its inhabitants can safely worship the Great Child.
The Phoenix Giant Kings lips twitched slightly.
However, the lesson Captain Fantasy taught him had been engraved so deeply in his soul that he didnt sumb to my ttery so easily.
The prosperity of the empire became possible only thanks to his appearance. I, who was smaller than him, only helped from the sidelines.
You are greater than that, Your Majesty.
Your ttery is useless.
Haha! I am the Cardinal of Mons Teachings, Your Majesty. I would never result in such actions. I only present facts and objectively assess what is happening before me.
As proof, I began to emit the radiance of my ZZ-Rank Divinity.
Unless one were born an angel, they wouldnt be able to release such great Divinity through the teachings of other religions, including the Great Child religion.
Indeed, Cardinal
He immediately proudly straightened his back.
The Giant Kings eyes, wary of ttery, sparkled.
It seemed I would have to teach him another lessonter.
Now, however, with all of my preparationsplete, I could finally confidently dere it.
Test me.
Haha! Why are you in such a hurry, Hero? I would like to talk to you again. I invite you to a party, so be sure toe. I will share the details of the trialter.
Thank you for your hospitality. May Mons blessing be with you.
Yes. With you too. Hahaha!
My blood pressure rose a little because of our conversation, but he would pay for itter anyway.
The party went well.
Giant King Phoenix, whose heart was melted by my praise, gave me a test as promised.
1) Win a prize in a culinary duel.
2) Win a prize in a fishingpetition.
It was a very simple testpared to what Sieg had to go through.
? Sieg: It cant be! Thats an obvious scam!
? Opion: No. Youre just an idiot. That damn teacher is spreading advanced information.
? Leon: Dont be fooled. If the Giant King starts thinking youre sucking up to him, hell be all over you
? Baal: This is crazy. Only two tasks, and he doesnt even need to win but just take a prize-winning ce? That teacher has a good tongue in his mouth.
Winning the culinary duel was easy since I had already defeated the Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti.
As for the fishingpetition, I ordered the sea mermaids to jump onto my baitless hook with the help of the Mermaid Queens song.
The trials were too easy.
Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that?
Im just surprised by how enthusiastic you are right now, considering you were reluctant just yesterday. Where did the sudden change in your hearte from?
Oh! Disco had good intuition.
I have an important task ahead of me.
This was the beginning of a grand epic about transforming a woman, beautiful both in body and soul, into my secretary.
I was now on the path to my dream.
Forward! Lets continue the adventure! Mon!
Chapter 387 - [28th Round] Righteous Hero
Chapter 387 - [28th Round] Righteous Hero
The Holy Sword of the Southern Continent, Moncoin, could freely change its size and weight.
Of course, it had limits, but normal-sized Heroes wouldnt know about them.
It was time to get to work.
To the Dwarven Kingdom.
[Route creationpleted.]
[ETA: 112 seconds]
If I were an ordinary student, I wouldve solved the problem revolving around the Elf Empires desire to conquer the world, but I deliberately ignored it since my goal right now was just to break through the 90th floor.
Do not forget to work on your reputation here, pitiful students.
? Request: Counselor Kang Han Soo, no matter how insignificant the students may be, please refrain from addressing them as such on the air.
Oh! Ill take yourments into ount, Morality Teacher!
She was kinder to me before, though
Her severity pierced my tender heart.
It felt like a high wall had been erected between our wonderful friendship.
? Apology: Im sorry if I upset you, but this is an important live broadcast that most students are watching. I also n to use it as a reference in future educational policy development.
My cowardly wife had a meeting with her mother, so she wasnt working right now, but the Fantasy Institution still seemed to be functioning without issue.
? Exnation: Director Ssosiel pre-assigned work to the faculty members so she could focus on caring for her child.
My dream was to be a gigolo and live for my own pleasure, but I was actually sacrificing myself for the sake of my wife and son.
How did this happen?
After the end of the inspection, I would definitely break free!
Ah! Were here.
Monfors stopped over the royal pce of the Dwarf Kingdom.
Everything was huge by default in the Giant Empire, which was why their reaction towards my aircraft wasnt harsh or explosive. Meanwhile, the dwarves were clearly intimidated.
Ah! What is that?!
My God!
Did we anger God?!
How is this possible
In horror, they all stared at Monfors, which was so huge its shadow covered the entire capital of the kingdom.
Such stupid dwarves.
Spending their talent on weapons rendered useless in modern warfare, they were defeated by a lone inventor.
This was the power of science.
? Shiva: I also flew there once to show off, but my ship was shot down. The same fate awaits him.
? Zeus: Its your fault that happened to you.
? Odin: Did it really even happen in the first ce?
? Ah: Youre an asshole for showing off.
? M. Satan: Please refrain from sending insults.
? Amon: Our dear Satan is still working hard even after he graduated. (Warning 1/3)
? Isis: An immediate warning?
? Luna: Haha. Thats funny.
? Sieg: I love you, dear Satan! I cannot live a day without thismunity.
? Opion: Thats a heartbreaking confession.
In short, the Dwarf Kingdom could be sundered in an instant, but that didnt mean they were defenseless.
The townspeople were evacuated underground, and the defenders aimed their crossbows at us.
Moreover, next to us, their guardian dragon appeared in the sky.
Sssssiaaaaaaaaahhhh! Menacingly roared Queen of Wisdom Marlfari, the dragon in love with a dwarf prince who once died of overwork while carrying out an order from Fugitive Senior.
She didnt attack immediately. However, as if demanding that we retreat, she bared her fangs threateningly.
? Shiva: If they dont budge, shes going to preemptively attack after 10 seconds. After that BOOM!
? Baal: I understand youre upset that you lost 1st ce, but reveal your dark history
? Zeus: Dont mind him.
? Odin: Hasnt it been 10 seconds yet?
? Adam: Its either that or were experiencing the longest 10 seconds to ever exist.
As she was about to attack us with the force of the wind, the trademark technique of the silver dragons, her jaws mped shut when she saw Kang Han Soo and Alex standing on the Monfors deck.
sh!
She then transformed into a woman with silk-like silvery hair.
Whats going on here, Hero? She asked as she boarded my ship, her eyes looking closely at Kan Han Soo, not me.
Well, even if he was an alter ego, he was still me.
It came in extremely handy. He was, after all, the MAX-ss Hero.
He pointed at me.
This is my clueless junior, and they came here to get the Holy Sword that you hold.
Is that so? I thought the sage that doesnt understand the beauty and value of art had invaded
Nonsense. If Shakespeare chose to do that, you would already be dead.
I cant deny that.
Marlfari then greeted Alex and the Snow Woman.
She didnt even seem to notice me, but I understood her. Due to the incident caused by Fugitive Senior, she hated Heroes.
After a while, she finally looked at me with her silver eyes.
So you came to get the Holy Sword?
Yes.
Peace now reigns on the continents of Fantasy after Demon Lord Pedonars reign ended. Therefore, I do not understand why you want to rekindle a new war.
If it were me from the past, I wouldve answered, To return to my beautiful hometown!
But the story is a little different now.
I couldnt even say that the inspectorate was forcing me.
I couldnt postpone my answer or remain silent either.
The moment she asked me that question, her trial for the Hero had already begun.
I replied calmly.
This is a question that we must ask God, who called me, saying that the world was in danger. However, if you want to hear my opinion, I just want to see the truth with my own eyes.
Arrogant Hero. You dare make such a statement simply because you consider yourself a righteous being.
I am.
In 200 years of my heroic life, I had never once questioned my sense of justice.
I understand where youreing from, but words alone cannot prove your worth. Let me give you a simple test. If you pass it, I will immediately give you the Holy Sword.
Im listening.
I didnt even know what the test would be this time.
In the past, when I gave instructions to the rulers of the continents, I simply told her to help the Heroes.
Marlfari smiled brightly.
Give up your harem.
*****
Fugitive Senior could be said to be the culprit behind this test.
He wanted to take possession of all beautiful women, regardless of race, which was why he set his sights on Marlfari.
As a result, this silver flying lizard now hated harems.
To her, it was the essence of evil that destroyed the love of others!
It didnt matter if the Hero was a man or a woman.
The Righteous Hero had to be monogamous.
? Amon: Thats why I gave up the Holy Sword of the Eastern Continent.
? Zeus: Harem ] 1 Holy Sword
? Odin: It sounds easy, but for some, it is hell. Even if you just temporarily exclude the beauties from your party, your reputation will plummet.
? Ah: I wonder what the teacher will do.
I didnt prepare to receive the Holy Sword of the Eastern Continent, so I had no information at all.
I had to improvise.
Give it to me.
What?
The Holy Sword.
When I dealt with Giant King Phoenix, I had to pay attention to the tone of his voice, as his attitude had a huge impact on his version of the Heros Trial.
In this case, it wasnt required. If the Hero had no harem, Marlfari would hand over the Holy Sword to them.
She should be ashamed to call this a test.
The women in the party whom you fell in love with
There are none, I interrupted her sharply.
I had touched the spine and pelvis of some women, including the Imperial Princess and Aqua, but my vessel was biologically still a virgin.
And this girl
Shes married.
The Snow Woman was Alexs wife. Therefore, she couldnt be categorized as part of my harem.
Dont ignore me!
Disco got angry for some reason.
Are you breaking your promise not to interfere with the Heros adventure?
No. Please dont get me wrong. This is just a matter of pride. Queen of Wisdom Marlfari, I am an unmarried woman, but I already have a master. I can provide evidenceter in person. Therefore, please, lets avoid discussing this.
Okay.
There were more men than women in my squad.
But the giant lizard didnt give up so easily.
What is your rtionship with the first princess of the Holy Empire?
Summoner-victim rtionship. Since we are of the same religion, we have established a partnership, nothing more.
And the Saintess
She lost her Saintess status and fell into despair, so I set her up with Tomato, the former Holy Knights Commander. She is now married and living a happy life.
Then the mermaid
That sore loser of a fish hates me, so I left her on the Western Continent. Do you have any more questions?
No.
Wisdom Queen Marlfari had carefully checked my past.
However, as the G-ss Hero, I was clean.
Hand it over.
I sincerely apologize for doubting your sense of justice, Hero. From here on out, all the dragons under mymand will help you in your adventures. Moreover, I present to you the Holy Sword Haymon. This is the weapon used by the Great Hero, who saved me from the harem of the Vile Hero. Please treat it with care.
Sure.
Holy Sword Haymon.
Its name changed after the school transitioned to the 5th curriculum, but its functions and appearance remained the same as when it was known as Holy Sword B.
It enhanced the effects of the Heros skills and helped them easily master attributes other than Divinity.
As Marlfari said, I used it for a while before getting Nucleon.
And now it was again in my hands.
Good luck.
May Mons blessing be with you.
Ipleted my business on the Eastern Continent in less than half a day.
? Odin: Where did the one who said the space station would be shot down in 10 seconds disappear to?
?Zeus: Shiva. Shiva. Where have you gone? Dont cry. Come out. We wontugh at you.
? Ah: This is not funny. Stop making fun of them. This teachers adventure is rather strange. Getting hold of Holy Sword Haymon shouldnt be that easy.
? Amon: If one were a eunuch, it would be.
? Isis: But that doesnt apply to the teacher. I saw him take a shower ^^
? Luna: Right. Theres nothing wrong with that part of him.
Even though this wasnt my body, I still didnt like having my privacy invaded.
There was only one continent left.
I headed to the Northern Continent, where Mons Teachings are headquartered.
*****
The birthce of Mons Teachings was the Holy Empire, where Master Mon was hiding, but it was on the Northern Continent that this religion seriously developed.
It wouldnt even be an exaggeration to say no one on the Northern Continent didnt believe in Master Mon.
Glory to Mon!
May Mons blessing be with you!
Mon! Mon!
However, most of them only blindly believed without knowing his doctrines.
They only followed the fundamental rule of not hunting and chasing slimes.
That was enough, though. After all, everyone was equal before Mon.
[You have arrived at your destination.]
Mons Teachings Headquarters.
This was the historic site where I, the First Apostle, installed the first-ever flush toilet by hand.
And only religious leaders of Mons Teachings could sit on it.
Stop, ignorant person.
Please indicate the purpose of your visit.
I was stopped by two pdins guarding the entrance to the temple, which was erected around Flush Toilet No. 1.
This felt awkward.
Wasnt it obvious why people go to the toilet?
Nevertheless, I answered with the Righteous Heros smile.
Im going to take a big dump.
Chapter 388 - [28th Round] Ssosia and Hippolia
Chapter 388 - [28th Round] Ssosia and Hippolia
I began to emit the divine radiance that symbolized the Cardinal profession, causing the pdins eyes to widen in surprise.
Cardinal?
Ah
They immediately cleared the way and knelt before me.
I wasnt on the list of cardinals they knew, but the kind of ID I showed was sufficient enough for them to let me through.
The G-ss Righteous Hero proudly entered the temple with a flush toilet only a select few could use!
? Problem: After going inside, please refrain from divulging any details. These amoeba-like students will believe everything you say.
Oh! Ill be careful in the future!
Talking with me right now was Morality Teacher. That was enough for my heart to gradually heal.
Now I could call this a real adventure!
? Luke: Oh! This is my first time seeing the interior of Mons Teachings Headquarters.
? Isis: It looks like an old-fashioned restroom.
? Piko: Mons Teachings Headquarters is a sharedfort room with booths divided by rank, not gender. It is equipped with flush toilets and bidets. You can also try a slime toilet in it for nostalgia.
? Sieg: Wow! A real believer has appeared! A true follower of Mons Teachings!
? Amon: Hey Sieg, did you just wake up? That guys been known as a mon fanatic since the early days of themunity.
At the time, it was difficult to install a sewerage system and a septic tank, but I had the power of capitalism to help me.
To win the hearts of the Northern Continents demanding royal family and nobility, I insisted on providing the highest quality.
A nce at the installed bidet, handcrafted by an angel cksmith with a sturdy spine, was enough to determine the level of its quality.
This was the heart of Mons Teachings.
Judging by the expression on your face, is this your first time here? Disco asked, following me in.
Of course. Were in a sanctuary that only cardinals and other high-ranking members of the Mon Church can enter.
Indeed
It was quiet here. After all, monists couldnt just sit still and enjoy the perks of their position since their rank depended on their achievements.
The system was the one that gave religious professions, and ones promotion and demotion depended on their performance.
Not even religious leaders could dere, From now on, I am appointing you cardinal!
I wasnt any different. I earned achievements and fame step by step.
No one could escape this rtive assessment except those chosen from birth to be Saintesses.
Only a Saintess could guard this toilet without engaging in missionary work.
Sitting on the toilet without a partition, she opened her eyes and spoke to me.
Wee to the Holy Land, new cardinal.
Seriously?
Whats wrong?
Toilet No. 1s guardian wasnt the Saintess from the Northern Continent who carefully cleaned toilets on the sidelines like a maid.
She was apletely different female, but she had a familiar face and spine.
Hippolia
? Race: First Angel
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Goddess (Religious Influence Creation )
? Skills: Faith GGG, Divinity GGG, Charm G, Breastfeeding ZZ, Child Care Z
? Status: Calm
However, she had the First Angel race, like Parmael. This wasnt just a deception of the system.
While I was imprisoned in the Demon Realm for 19 years, my cowardly wife seemed to have done something I wasnt aware of.
I wanted to ask her about this while grasping her pelvis properly, but she wasnt around right now.
If so
Morality Teacher! Morality Teacher!
? Disclosure: When Councilor Kang Han Soo was kidnapped, Director Ssosiels mental and emotional state shattered. She realized she couldnt cope alone and decided to resurrect Hippolia.
The method she used was simple.
During the previous festival, she challenged Parmael, whom the alumni exiled. She then crushed her personality and self-esteem.
Hippolia, having escaped her fate as a puppet, coexisted with Ssosia, defeated Parmael in a battle of souls, and took the initiative.
Consequently, now that she had be the First Angel, she worked as the Deputy Director and Goddess of Mons Teachings.
? Exnation: Hippolia, like Kang Han Soos Demon Lord counterpart, only acted when she needed to fulfill her role as the Goddess of Mons Teachings. Usually, her copy remains on standby while she works in the office or takes care of Sidael.
Now that I thought about it, while I was relieving stress umted over 19 years with the help of my cowardly wife, my little son wasnt with her.
She knew if he had been in her arms, I wouldnt have grabbed her pelvis when we first met after a long time
She nned it from the very beginning!
She left our scion to Hippolia and came to meet me alone.
I have a question. Did youe here today as a cardinal or as the Hero?
I missed her voice.
I remembered the first time I met her at the festival.
When I pretended to be a Saint, she asked for help.
She wanted me to guide the demons followers who used to be Heroes back to the right path.
If you have a task for me, it doesnt matter.
In that case, I have a request. We need to convert the demons followers locked in the dungeon. We will reward you ording to the number of cultists you convert.
This reminds me of the past.
I failed, and now I can only trust you, Righteous Saint.
Of course.
Then, before you begin, let me grant you a position worthy of the recognition of all the continents rulers.
Cardinal Religious Leader (Sermon Brainwashing )
As I said, it wasnt that she appointed me.
As she exined, this was the very moment when thest of the five continental rulers recognized me.
Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti of the Central Continent, Great Sage Shakespeare of the Western Continent, Giant King Phoenix of the Southern Continent, Queen of Wisdom Malfaricia of the Eastern Continent, and Goddess Hippolia of the Northern Continent.
And this task perfectly suited my new profession, which would allow me to rise even higher.
Thanks.
You achieved this on your own. Theres no need to thank me.
Although Hippolia and I met in an unexpected ce at an unexpected time, there was still no need for an awkward conversation for us.
One nce was enough.
Master, please follow me. I will lead you to the dungeon.
Okay.
Saintess C, distracted from cleaning the toilet, interrupted our reunion.
Unfortunately, I couldnt punish her by grabbing her spine.
A lot of people were watching me right now.
? Baal: Long live Goddess Hippolia!
? Zeus: Maybe I should also believe in Mon?
? Odin: This is what a real Goddess looks like!
? Luke: The Saintess at the Festival of Heroes is the Goddess of Mons Teachings?
? Sieg: Glory to Mon!
The dungeon that Saintess C led me to exuded quite a foul stench. It was because the pagans and demon worshipers who denied Mons Teachings were ced in solitary confinement cells that only had a hole in the floor as a toilet.
That was the traditional torture method I used 2,000 years ago.
Saintess C provided an exnation.
This is punishment for those who do not know the value of a clean and convenient flush toilet.
She was right.
This solitary confinement was more effective than torture that inflicted physical pain or sermons to which they turned a deaf ear to.
But that also meant that only the most stubborn ones remained here.
How disgusting.
I deliberately do not do any cleaning here
Thats not it. What I find disgusting is the way they look down on his mercy. They use their skills to control physiology, thus denying the importance of flush toilets by eliminating the need to use the toilet every day.
Your insight amazes me, sir! You immediately deduced the situation! This is why we asked you for help.
Until 2000 years ago, this method did not work among high-level people, which was a pain in the ass.
Of course, as the First Apostle, I still converted those ignorant heretics.
I would do the same again this time.
Leave this to me, Saintess.
Your words alone are already encouraging. There are 200 criminals here. At a minimum, you need an E-rank Faith. There is no time limit. And every time you turn a criminal, you get 1 point. Then you can purchase something with these sses.
- Something?
- Yes. Take a look at this table with awards so that there will be no misunderstandings in the future.
200 points: Kiss of the Goddess
150 points: Teachers garter belt
80 points: Ring of Luck
50 points: Baby Diapers
20 points: Saintess
3 points: Elixir of Rebirth
There was no point in diapers costing more than one of the only three Saints in the world of Fantasy, but it didnt matter.
My goal was the 200 point reward.
Nothing else deserved my attention.
Lets begin.
*****
A religious leaders Brainwashing perk was special.
This was simr to the Brainwashing skill, but it was several times more effective against atheists and cultists.
Even so, it wasnt absolute.
Increasing ones sess rate from 0.1% to 0.5% made no difference.
After all, it was only effective if they had the appropriate skills toplement it.
Hence, I preached, which was one of my expertise.
Greetings. Your vertebrae Oops!
Aaaaghh?!
Ssh!
Fresh vertebrae slipped out of my hand and fell into the fecal pit.
Wh-what?!
My hand slipped, and your vertebrae fell into the cesspool. That is a vile abyss, so its certainly already infected. Unfortunately, that means simple regeneration wont be enough to heal you.
Ahh
Im really sorry. This tragedy wouldnt have happened if it were a flush toilet, even if my hand slipped. Wouldnt you agree?
Sob sob!
Dont cry. The righteous religious leader of Mons Teachings will lend you tongs. You can use them to pull your vertebrae out of the hole
Mon! Mon! Mon!
Hahaha! You have finally realized his mercy and love. Its a bitte, but congrattions. Mon.
My sermon was simple.
Skills were a mistake.
Realizing that, they voluntarily became Mons loyal followers while shedding tears of joy.
While I was working, Alex and Snow Woman flirted with each other as usual. Meanwhile, Green Cake and Kang Han Soo spent the entire day with Hippolia.
And Disco, as an inspector, watched the sermon.
You call that a sermon?
No matter how you look at it, it is, isnt it?
One by one, the ignorant cultists who thought outdated toilets were good came to believe in Mon, which earned me points.
10, 50, 100, 150, 200!
I quickly emptied the dungeon.
? Amon: Since hes using that method, maybe he shouldnt have bothered getting the Religious Leader profession.
? Zeus: Try it and let us know.
? Baal: Hey people, apologize to Shiva. They disappeared altogether.
? Ah: Shiva wasnt that talkative in the first ce anyway.
? Odin: Shut up and pay better attention to the teachers job. Its already changed.
Cardinal and Religious Leader were just stepping stones for me.
After my hand slipped 200 times, I achieved what no one else had achieved.
Religious leader Saint (Faith Miracles )
A Saint was treated the same as the three Saintesses of Fantasy.
Although I couldnt raise the dead like a Saintess, with this anomalous upation, I could create miracles.
But that wasnt what interested me at all.
I need your lips, Goddess.
Of course. My lips are at your disposal.
What was this?
My heart was beating fast as I walked slowly towards Hippolia.
Stop.
Ah.
I forgot.
There was another me here.
Kang Han Soo blocked my path.
I wanted to set him up with the Sword Princess, but it didnt work out that way.
Give up the Goddesss lips. In return, Ill do my best to help you graduate.
His conditions werent that bad.
I showed him the Righteous Heros smile.
How about we settle this inbat, senior? If I lose, Ill give up the lips of the Goddess, and if I win, you will give me Holy Sword Nucleon.
Wont you regret this?
Ill show you a miracle.
Okay.
It was a bet neither of us could refuse.
Chapter 389 - [28th Round] Real-Time Prophecy?
Chapter 389 - [28th Round] Real-Time Prophecy?
Hear me, Sword of the End, ruined by Chaos and reforged on the Stars of Oblivion! I hereby dere that I remember your sacred name and praise you for your de that cuts the bonds of meaningless friendship and love! Awaken from your slumber and prove that our legendary alliance has existed since time immemorial! Come forth and serve me once more, Holy Sword Nucleon!
My opponent was me with 20 years of experience.
He concluded that he died after returning to Earth and had now be part of the Fantasy system.
Unlike me, who reincarnated as the cutest emperor in the world, he lost Hippolia and retained his original body.
On the other hand, I knew a lot due to my 200-plus years of experience, but this vessel the inspectorate gave me was less than even a year old.
I initially had no intention of engaging in this pointless battle with my alter ego.
I was going to take possession of the Holy Sword Nucleon by pretending to desire the hand and heart of the Sword Princess in the tournament anyway.
But
I was once a Hero who defeated the Demon Lord several times. I dont want to disrupt my juniors adventure. My request is pretty simple. Choose a different reward. Its just a kiss.
Kang Han Soo was wrong.
We were talking about Hippolias kiss here.
It was nothing like the usual act of love between a man and a woman.
She served as the Goddess of Mons Teachings, but her true essence was the First Angel and the administrator of Fantasy.
Getting the right to that kiss
It would be an achievement that would have a huge impact on my profession.
Enough talking. Lets get down to business.
Fighting Holy Sword Nucleon bare-handed would be suicide.
Pop!
I summoned the Holy Sword I knew best: Haymon.
It strengthened the effects of my skills.
My near-peak Faiths effects had been enhanced. It was the same with miracles.
Im sorry.
I am too.
Bam!
Bam!
Pouncing at each other, our Holy Swords collided.
Kang Han Soo focused on the power of chaos to harmoniously harness Divinity and Dark Energy simultaneously.
The gray aura swirling around his weapons de reminded me of the past.
You
This is Mon.
All I could do to defend against it was use my body, which epted Master Mons teachings and had constantly improved over the past 200 years.
Our level of understanding of these teachings waspletely different.
It was a pity that Faith didnt affect strength at all.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
We traded blows non-stop in front of Hippolia.
Kang Han Soo, who still hadnt broken free from the systems shackles, was actively using the power of chaos, which was my preferred ability at the time.
On the other hand, I, who had very low dependence on Fantasy skills, confronted him using the experience and skills that I had umted over 200 years.
but that was easier said than done.
How many times have you regressed, junior?
Thats a secret.
After reading his next move, I flicked Nucleons de down and aimed at his waist.
Not bad!
However, he didnt dodge but instead put even more strength into his attack.
Gray aura burst from his Holy Sword right in front of me.
The strategy I learned from Alex was to exchange blows.
Tsk.
Deciding not to ignore the iing strike, I stopped my counterattack and focused on dodging.
The moment my focus was disturbed, I would immediately lose.
He didnt lose sight of this.
He decided to take the initiative into his own hands and began to continuously attack, not giving me time for a break.
I didnt think it woulde to this.
Hmm?
Instinctively sensing danger, I immediately deduced what he was going to do.
The technique that destroyed Boris harem.
SKRRRRR!
You fought well, junior. However, the difference in our strength is too great.
The Righteous Heros Wings
However, seeing them didnt weaken my mental fortitude.
The power of justice?
I was willing to pay a fair price for Hippolias lips.
Meanwhile, he was just a simple savage who abused the greatest beings teachings.
If so, then
sh!
It was time for a miracle.
Repent!
While the G-ss Hero enlightened the criminals in the dungeon, Kang Han Soo stayed with Hippolia.
I knew what this guy was thinking.
I will protect my woman!
His words sounded great, but it wasnt Hippolias kiss that was at stake here. It was the Goddess.
Why did he have to react so sharply?
Moreover, she was my woman too.
Faith ZZZ Faith G
Saint (Faith Miracles )
Miracles overwhelmed me when my Faiths rank reached G.
Now, it had an impact on my luck.
The Righteous Heros Wings rattled as he was overtaken by osteoporosis, which I feared at the time.
Wow
Battling the furious beast, which unleashed the Righteous Heros Wings, quickly exhausted me.
To solve this problem, I transnted technique into my sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves and formed a reflex arc that expressed technique through automatic reflexes.
Simply put, auto-battle.
This was the same as the Central Continents Holy Sword, Automania, but its features were better. Moreover, my will could intervene at any time.
Just like now.
Repent.
The Holy Sword, which cut off his Righteous Heros Wings, aimed between his 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae.
Holy Sword Nucleon?
It was toote.
I elerated more and more due to my auto-battle function, but Kang Han Soo, suffering from spinal and pinion osteoporosis, was beginning to tire.
His reaction slowed slightly, which was crucial in a battle where even a 0.1-second dy could lead to death.
With us was a Saintess who could raise the dead, but I refrained from cutting off his head.
And he noticed it.
I lost.
Clink!
He admitted defeat by letting go of Holy Sword Nucleon.
? Baal: Did Kang Han Soo just lose in a one-on-one battle? Seriously?
? Shiva: Its not the result thats important, but the process itself. It took him less than a year to achieve this much
? Zeus: Wow! Shiva! So youre still here!
? Odin: Shut up, Zeus. Stop talking off-topic. We have just seen proof that the teachers methods are far superior to ours. This is a serious problem.
? Piko: Seniors, dont quarrel. Trust in Mon! He is the truth!
Kang Han Soo faced the wall, hiding his expression.
I hoped he wasnt crying.
a?? Master is too cruel. You are now 241 years old, and he is only 39 years old. You behaved immaturely in front of a child hungry for love.
Hippolia! That analogy was wrong!
He was 39 years old. Hence, he was clearly an adult.
Elves and dragons born with defective genes behaved like children at that age, but for humans, it was enough for them to be held responsible for their words and actions.
Hence, I was only being fair.
a?? Have you forgotten? I was the alter ego of First Angel Parmael. If you love me, please be merciful to your alter ego. Please.
How despicable.
I gained good experience in this battle by improving my reflexes.
For that, at least, I was grateful.
Pop!
Taking the Holy Sword Nucleon, I canceled its summoning.
I then looked again at Goddess Hippolia, who was sitting on the flush toilet.
I will need my friends help, so the back of your hand will be enough for me.
She smiled faintly as I went over and kissed the back of her hand.
At that moment, without warning, she got up from the toilet and gently pressed her pale pink lips on my forehead.
May he, attentive to his neighbors and free from the intoxication of power, be forever blessed
The holy figure who had long been the face of the festival dimension awed me beyond what I thought was possible.
I dropped to one knee and put my right hand on my heart.
May the smile of the Goddess never fade.
This wasnt just a blessing.
Saint Apostle (Grace = Ability)
I could finally use my strength.
***
I loved myself.
Was this what they called narcissism?
But that self-love allowed me to ovee even GGG-rank Faith.
So thats what you were aiming for.
Does it matter? Are you going to call it a scam?
No.
Disco shook her head with a displeased expression.
The inspectorate had nothing to say.
Although I was given a useless body, I could still use all the existing knowledge within my mind.
Even now, my stats werent so incredible.
? Race: Adored Human
? Level: 845
? Job: Apostle (Grace = Ability)
? Skills: Faith G, Cooking Z, Incitement Z, Fabrication Z, Annihtion MAX
? Status: Holy Sword, Loyalty
My race wasnt meant forbat. Rather, it was more suitable for casanovas.
My level wasnt high either, and my skill set wasnt exactly made forbat either.
But that was okay.
I can now hear the words of a beautiful God in my head.
? Confusion: Real-time prophecy
Oh! Real-time prophecy!
That was a pretty cool expression.
I owe you a great debt, junior. To repay you, I will help you with the Demon Lords Tower.
Okay, senior.
Thanks.
Yeah.
That wasnt like me at all.
Because I wasnt the kind of guy who bowed his head for anyone.
Kang Han Soo was determined to get rid of me by helping me graduate. In doing so, I would no longer be able to covet the Goddesss lips.
? rification: I spoke to himst night tofort him. Looks like hes going to marry the Sword Princess and get one of the Three Great Swords.
I currently had four Holy Swords in my possession.
He could have asked to borrow one of them, but he didnt.
He even said that he was going to get one of the Three Great Swords, ignoring the two Holy Swords that I hadnt yet acquired.
Holy Demon de Swordmaster.
Celestial Runelord Sword.
Elemental Sword Endymion.
The features of the Three Great Swords of Fantasy were simr to those of the Holy Swords. However, they had a w the Holy Swords didnt have. They werent indestructible.
He seems to understand my intentions.
? Curiosity: Are you nning on collecting all the Holy Swords that exist in Fantasy?
Thats right, clever Morality Teacher!
With my Apostle profession, I didnt have to worry about my fantasy stats anymore.
All that was left was my equipment.
I needed a weapon that could withstand my Favor, which even the Holy Swords ineradicability, which was granted by the system itself, couldnt cope with.
First and foremost, I acquired the Holy Sword from the Northern Continent.
Hero, if you want to get Monrod, youll have to sing to me
You better hand it over nicely unless you want me to turn you into a sashimi.
Bad memories of when I met Lanuvel, who was pretending to be my little sister, immediately overwhelmed me.
Hmph
However, this freshwater mermaid refused, showing surprising resilience.
She used to be different
? rification: The Holy Sword Keepers stats have been significantly increased due to the pond poisoning incident.
My God! What terrible Hero thought of poisoning a pond?
Why would they contaminate free food?
The Snow Woman suddenly intervened.
Master! Master! Give me a chance to clear this obstacle for you. Though I have no hands, I am at least confident in my singing ability! Alex?
Yes, yes. Ill y the guitar for you.
Hehe. Lets get started~?
I had already known that the Snow Woman was extremely noisy for a long time, but I only just learned that Alex could y the guitar now
He was pretty good at it, too.
As a result, the freshwater mermaid, moved by the couples song and performance, handed me the Holy Sword.
Monrod.
In the past, it was an ego sword with the soul of a useless senior Hero, which had since been reced with a soul that could be used as a swordsmanship teacher orpanion.
I listened to what he had to say.
(I was the best fighter and ruler of another world called Murim. Bow down to me nine times, and I will teach you martial arts, junior!)
Like this?
I showed him my full power.
()
I think Im better at slicing enemies into pieces.
I didnt have time to change the genre of my adventure.
? Rebuke: You made two grown men cry in one day, Councilor Kang Han Soo! You turned out to be a bad Hero in the end!
Oh. Sorry
Morality Teacher, who made me cry again, was also bad.
? Confusion: Ah
Chapter 390 - [28th Round] Air Devil
Chapter 390 - [28th Round] Air Devil
Afterpleting my Northern Continent tour and obtaining Monrod, the dummies and I moved towards the Central Continent, the starting point.
Naturally, our target was its Holy Sword.
I couldve gotten it from the very beginning, but I didnt want to keep it nearby since I had a personal vendetta against that particr weapon.
It was that useless.
(Ovee all trials to move forward, Hero!)
As we approached the Tomb of the Ancient Heros entrance, the ce where Automania was sealed, a voice called out to challenge me.
Trials.
I, as its examinee, had to face all kinds of traps.
This dungeons difficulty was low since it wasnt too far from the summoning point, but it was too long and confusing for most students to be familiar with all of its traps.
I would like to quickly break through this dungeon.
Favor of God.
Just as the results of ones interview depended on the interviewer, God was the one who made decisions based on his evaluations of his apostles.
For example, if I, as a god, liked a certain person, I could easily upgrade their skills to ZZZ.
And if their spine was bad, I could enforce that they didnt deserve any skills above MAX rank.
Something like that.
If I were an ordinary apostle, I would praise God all day so hed lend me at least a little of his power.
But I was different.
Mons Teachings, the religion of the Great Child
As Fantasys God, I could convey the power of God to believers.
Almighty self, lend me, your favorite, your strength!
Hmm, Alright. Request approved. Receive all my love!
[Original Sin]
Bam! Babakh!
With Gods favor, this beginner-level dungeon was nothing.
? Odin: In case anyones forgotten, were watching a Hero thats only eight months old
? Zeus: Isnt this too much? Why is adventure necessary then? We should just lock ourselves up in a temple and pray.
? Shiva: Instead ofining, why not just learn from this and act on it? Do you think what hes doing is easy?
? Isis: You can try to get the Religious Leader profession, but bing an Apostle will definitely not be easy. Im not even sure I can preach as well as he does
? Luna: Only eight months What have I been doing all this time?
? Luke: Dont push yourself, senior
Reaching the deepest part of the dungeon by destroying all the traps in my path, I politely kicked the gate blocking my way.
BOOM!
This ces final boss immediately revealed itself.
( You got here too fast, Hero of the new generation.)
The skeleton in pajamas hastily put on armor.
I understood his situation, though.
If one were to sit on their throne all day like my father-inw, they could get a hernia. That was why taking a break every now and then was important.
That was what the Ancient Hero did.
Hey in his coffin, wearingfortable clothes, and armed himself only when an intruder entered his tomb.
Were you not expecting me?
Bam!
I hit the bosss head as he tried to pick up Automania, which was lying on the floor.
(Sneaky Hero)
What did he just say?
On the battlefield, one shouldnt care about their enemys circumstances.
The oue of our battle wouldnt change even if he managed to pick up his Holy Sword anyway, though the process would be a little more annoying.
Automatic attack, defense, and evasion
He was a pitiful rabble with high stats. However, with such a weapon in his hands, he couldve turned into a first-ss swordsman.
I finally got them all.
It took me quite some time to be an Apostle, but during these eight months, I collected all the Holy Swords that existed in the world of Fantasy.
Central Continents Automania: Automatic Combat.
Eastern Continents Haymon: Skill Effects Enhancer.
Western Continents Monpis: Equipment Devourer.
Southern Continents Moncoin: Resizable Armament.
Northern Continents Monrod: Soul-Infused Ego Sword.
Kang Han Soos Nucleon: Demon Lord yer.
A Hero could only use one Holy Sword.
Even I couldnt break that rule.
But there was a solution.
Of course, there was no information about it in the monphonemunity since no one had collected the 6 Holy Swords yet.
Monpis. Consume the Holy Swords.
Fss! Fss! Fss! Fss! Fss!
Naturally, one shouldnt expect each Holy Sword to have the same power as Nuclon since their essences were divided to amodate several dimensions.
However, six of them would obviously be stronger than one.
As expected, the oue was impressive.
SKRRRR!
Monpiss shape changed, emitting sounds of bones crunching in the process. It now had a tinum de and a golden six-pointed-star guard.
Complimenting its amazing design was its name graciously engraved on its de.
Monstar.
Inheriting the functions of all Holy Swords and gaining apletely new ability, its power had also beenpletely reinvented.
Morality Teacher! I would like to have an exnation
(Monstar,bining Moncoin and Haymons abilities, can unleash six floating des that can be used to fight multiple enemies at once, thanks to Automanias automaticbat feature.)
Hey, Air Devil! I wasnt talking to you!
( Im not an air devil, but the Heavenly Demon.)
I dont care!
()
It reminded me of a Gundam attacking with its wings.
(Its a de maniption technique.)
Stop constantly trying to change Fantasys genre to martial arts. It doesnt change my point.
Holy Sword Monstar was quite powerful.
Automania bothered me since it used to control my body alone, but it now manipted six des into fighting my opponents instead.
I could control them myself, but it would just be a waste of extra energy. Hence, I let the Air Devil, whose soul was in my new weapon, control them instead.
He introduced himself as a social outcast from Murim, so I was skeptical, but his swordsmanship was surprisingly good.
(But I introduced myself as the lord of Murim)
Air Devil!
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
When I called his name, the des shot up and annihted the monsters.
The scene made my heart race since it was like watching a Gundam attack.
When are you going to go to the Demon Lords Tower, Hero? Disco asked with a displeased expression.
A year hadnt even passed yet, but she already seemedpletely tired of my adventures.
This Holy Sword will be useless if my juniors cant use it properly. They should practice in dungeons using my strategy. I answered.
? Odin: 1. Enter the dungeon. 2. Shout out the souls name. 3. Be careful not to get lost. 4. Leave the looting to Green Cake. 5. Exit the dungeon.
? Zeus: Its easy, right?
? Baal: This is too difficult. I cant keep up with you
? Shiva: Ive also started collecting the Holy Swords today. Ill soon publish a photo with Monstar.
? Isis: Can I do this by believing in the Great Child?
? M. Satan: I received an official answer saying that the Great Child religion would work too.
I decided to wait for the exemry students who imitated the Righteous G-ss Heros adventure.
Moreover, I also had to wait for Kang Han Soo to return.
Holy Demon de Swordmaster, one of the Three Great Swords, originally belonged to Alex.
There were two swords left.
The Elemental Endymion Sword was in the Elf Empires treasury, and the Celestial Runelord Sword rested amid endless waters.
(Do you know the location of the Celestial Runelord Sword, junior?!)
Well, in my first round, it was in the Death Maelstrom, which blocked marine transportation between the Eastern and Western Continents.
(I want you to go there. I need to check something. Please.)
Nope.
(Isnt it too cruel to refuse me, the Lord of Murim whos given up his pride, so harshly? Are you a demon?)
I wasnt just any demon. I was the Demon Lord.
Tell me what you need there first, then Ill think about it.
(Well)
If you dont want to, you dont have to.
(My daughter might be there, who was born when I was still a Hero.)
Heroes children are involved again! Fine! Lets go!
I wasnt going there because I thought it was going to be fun.
This was for the Air Devil.
The Righteous G-ss Hero and his dummies set out for endless waters!
*****
Death Maelstrom.
Before the 4th training program, there was a settlement known as the Ship Graveyard here, but that changed in the 5th training program.
After all, as the First Apostle, I dropped Captain Fantasy there.
So I was curious to see what this ce looked like now.
In the middle of the whirlpool, we found an artificial ind, and on its shore was a woman in the middle of fishing.
There she is.
A blue eel was coiled around her naked body, covering only her most intimate areas.
Shi-i-i-i~ Noticing us, it put its head on her shoulder and shrieked.
Strongest of the five Guardians who stood against the Five Great Disasters while maintaining bnce in the world, she wielded the Celestial Runelord Sword, which gave its user tremendous inner strength.
Her stats seemed to have changed a bit, too.
? Race: Half-Human
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Martial Arts Master (Martial Arts = Excellence )
? Skills: Faith GG, Martial Arts G, Fencing G, Inner Strength G, Charm ZZZ
? Status: Magic Sword
She had Faith, which wasnt in my first round. It was ranked GG, no less!
What religion was she so obsessed with?
(Her outfit is a little extravagant, but theres no doubt shes my daughter.)
Whos her mother?
(Archaeologist Lanuvel.)
Lanuvel?
(Yes. The union between her and me, known as the strongest adventurer until I lost to the Demon Lord Pedonar, was ordained by the heavens! If you desire her, junior, you have my permission to date my daughter.)
Do I look like a madman to you?
(I know perfectly well that youre not interested in women. However, having absorbed all of the Lord of Murims teachings and growing up as beautiful as her mother, shes different from the rest. Thats why I entrusted her with my sword, which came from my homnd, without any hesitation.)
Thats just your opinion.
All of that was meaningless since she carried Lanuvels genes.
(I admit Lanuvel can be a little clumsy, but prejudice is wrong, junior.)
Well, since were here, you can talk to her.
(Her name is Seoyeon Gal.)
I didnt ask.
Hey, Guardian, at least have themon courtesy to face your guests
Go away. Theres no ce here for a pathetic Hero Whoa?!
Bang!
I kicked her tailbone, causing her to fly into the whirlpool.
(Seoyeon?!)
Oops! I mustve slipped because of this inds high humidity. Mon.
Chapter 391 - [28th Round] This Is a Party!
Chapter 391 - [28th Round] This Is a Party!
The vige where the strongest Guardian lived was located in the middle of two hollows, which were the imprints of Captain Fantasys ass.
This was where the descendants of the Death Maelstroms trapped sailors, pirates, ves, mermaids, and explorers lived.
At that moment, our surroundings suddenly darkened.
A huge chubby butt fell from heaven.
Followed by a childs thunderous wailing.
I will never forget that day.
I thought I was going to die.
Residents of the Ship Graveyard, the settlement that turned the ship wreckage into houses, immediately approached me and the dummies, proudly telling me about the experience they had to go through.
I could understand why.
They witnessed such an extraordinary event, but they had no one to brag about it in this small vige.
They went through it all together, after all!
That was why they were happy to meet a stranger to share their thoughts with.
So you all managed to survive, huh.
I thought Captain Fantasys ass would crush them, but it looked like there were no casualties.
? Curiosity: Do you hate this vige, Councilor Kang Han Soo?
Good question, Morality Teacher!
I didnt like this ce.
Whenever a survivor caught by the giant vortex visited this vige, the locals would run up to them, chat them up, then clean them off to the bone.
They didnt just deprive them of material things but also took away their dignity, pride, humanity
Such was the truth behind these predators who envied those who lived in abundance in the outside world.
Now, however
Thanks to the Guardians self-sacrifice, we were able to survive.
Its hard to call it self-sacrifice. She was just lucky.
She was no match for the Great Child.
The difference in power was too great.
As in the old days, they rushed to me to chat. In that sense, they hadnt changed.
But another part of their mentality did.
Arent you hostile to outsiders?
The vigers looked at each other before replying.
We received a strict decree not to cause trouble in this holynd, the very ce where the Great Child once sat.
Even the Guardian, the most ruthless of us, calmed down.
I dont have the courage to resist the will of the Great Child. Haha!
His sweet cry is the truth!
I didnt know what Captain Fantasy did when he fell from the heavens, but it seemed to have yielded a positive result.
They became loyal followers of the Great Child religion, believing not in Master Mon but my incarnation.
I was happy with that.
While I was looking around the vige, the Guardian, caught in the maelstrom, returned.
You attacked me on the sly, Hero! How despicable!
It was an ident. The ground was wet, and I slipped. How is that despicable? Its your fault for ignoring me in the first ce.
You broke through my 13yer magic barrier and broke my bones! How can you call that an ident?!
Stop making excuses. Anyone in this situation can confirm that it wasnt intentional.
Youre the only one who sees it that way!
Perhaps it was because I found out she carried Lanuvels genes, but she began to piss me off even more than during my 1st round.
Give me the Celestial Runelord Sword.
Hmph! I cant believe you have the audacity to demand me to do such an act despite how pathetic of a Hero you are! Prove to me that you are worthy with your abilities! This time, however Kya?!
(Junior! That clearly harbored tant malicious intent!)
I was beginning to get tired of the Air Devils failure to cooperate with me.
Either way, I couldnt help it. She provoked me by spouting nonsense, leaving me no choice but to hit her tailbone again, causing her to fall to the ground.
Ouch! You definitely cant me me or call it an ident this time!
Even after all the lessons the Great Child taught you, you still seem unable toe to your senses. Open your eyes! I am stronger than you.
A-aahh! Great Child!
When I think about him, my whole body starts to glow A-ah!
(What did the God of the Southern Continent do to her?!)
Knowing the habits of that cute GGG-ss baby, I was certain he sucked and licked her.
Very thoroughly.
? Odin: The strongest Guardian surrendered without a fight?
? Zeus: That teachers ability is low, but his profession is fraudulent.
? Luna: Why are youining? If youre unhappy, feel free to be an Apostle like the teacher ^^
? Isis: Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti defeated me in our culinary duel even though I did everything ording to his recipe
? Luke: Thats because it didnt remind him of his father!
Having confiscated the sword of the strongest Guardian, I turned around and walked away.
But I first turned to Green Cake.
Find Kang Han Soo and tell him toe with his weapon to the Demon Lords Tower. You should prepare as well.
As you wish!
He temporarily left my party.
I wasnt done with all my preparations yet.
Less than a year had passed since my adventure began, and all that was left for me to do was conquer the Demon Lords Tower.
Wasnt this too easy?
(Junior! Please let me take control of your Holy Swords des for a moment. I want to convey a message to my daughter.)
I could refuse, but I was curious what his message would be.
Fshuk, fshuk, fshuk, fshuk
The Air Devil began to carve symbols on the ground for his daughter, who was still rubbing her ass whileining about the pain.
I didnt understand anything.
What was written there?
? Sigh: Hes apologizing for leaving her alone for so long. He then praised you by saying youre extremely powerful.
Thank you, Morality Teacher! I want you to praise me too!
That was my only wish for this ythrough.
? Shyness: You look the best with your head shaved and disying the Righteous Heros smile, Councilor.
Is that so? I dont want to be bald, but Ill take it into serious consideration for you, Morality Teacher.
That aside
Why are you following me?
As the strongest Guardian, I want to help the Hero in his adventures.
Youll just get in my way.
Youll change your mind once you see me in battle.
The air worms intentions were obvious, but it was difficult to refuse her help without a clear reason since the students were watching me.
My reason was that she was Lanuvels daughter!
But I couldnt publicly dere that.
Do what you want.
I let her do as she pleased. I didnt want to waste any more time here.
It was time to end my adventure.
Yes!
But dont pretend to be cute.
What does that mean?
Its better for you not to know.
Boarding Monfors, we broke out of the Death Maelstrom.
[Please indicate your destination.]
Demon Lords Tower.
It was time to end the adventure of the Righteous GG-ss Hero.
*****
I found Kang Han Soo waiting in the vige built near the entrance of the Demon Lords Tower, the Elemental Sword Endymion hanging from his belt.
And he wasnt alone. The Sword Princess was hugging him.
Greetings, Hero.
Yeah, I replied bitterly to the Sword Princesss greeting.
Its time to repay my debt, Kang Han Soo dered.
My party was truly magnificent.
[Tank]
Me: Monstar.
[Universal]
Alex: Holy Demon de Swordmaster
Kan Han Soo: Elemental Sword Endymion
Guardian: Celestial Runelord Sword
Sword Princess: Magic Sword Eyer
[Support]
Green Cake: Clean-up
Disco: Carry-on
Snow Woman: Cheerleader
I took on the tank role since I was the most resilient among us due to Gods favor.
Even without me, though, this role could easily be taken by one of the Universals.
I could clear the tower alone now, but it would be strange to disband my party since we had gone this far together.
Hence, I decided to climb up together with them.
Dont hesitate.
10th floor.
Elf Hero Silerion. Fugitive Seniors Former Subordinate.
Although he had excellent sword skills, besetting him from all sides rendered him vulnerable.
Hey, what kind of party is that?!
He panicked as soon as he saw my party members, forgetting his introductory speech.
Before you are the best swordsmen in Fantasy. Ill let you choose who you want to fight in a one-on-one battle.
I choose the Hero! My sword Huh?!
How dare you think of me as the weakest?!
Our fight ended in 0.1 seconds.
The Righteous GG-ss Heros party moved on!
? Odin: This teacher is as ruthless as ever!
? Zeus: If I were Silerion, I wouldve cursed.
? Luke: Master passed the 10th floor with one swing of his sword
The 20th floor was guarded by Elfhash, Silerions wife and pathetic 3rd Elf King Elfheims younger sister.
Her strongest trait was her immunity to magic.
No spells could harm her. Only powerful physical attacks.
How is this possible?!
Every drop of her resolve vanished.
I understood how she felt.
My squad consisted only of swordsmen unfamiliar with magic, which confused her, like what happened to her husband.
The Sword Princess and the Guardian quickly dealt with her.
? Baal: This is brutal.
? Amon: Its like the Hero is mocking the powerless Demon Lord.
? Lilith: Was the 20th floor really that simple? I feel strange.
? Luna: Be strong.
30th floor.
Boris, Fugitive Seniors son, awaited us.
In the past, he was such an excellent assassin that he earned the title Prince of Darkness.
Now, as the strongest android, he became superior to all humans.
This is madness! Alex and Kang Han Soo aspanions? Do you have no conscience, young Hero?!
My conscience is clear.
Bam!
It took Alex less than a second to turn Boris into a heap of scrap metal using his sword.
Werent these floor bosses too weak?
Well, it might just be because we were still on the lower floors.
? Ah: I cant believe whats happening even though Im watching it with my own two eyes.
? Ark: Im curious why the best strategy to finish any course is being broadcasted live.
? Piko: Trust in Mon, and you shall be blessed with happiness! Mon! Mon!
40th floor.
Red, Boriss wife and Fugitive Seniors subordinate, blocked our way.
She was also known as General Chromatigus.
Reeeeeeeeeee!
There was no greeting.
As soon as she saw us, she returned to her original form without hesitation.
Did she react so quickly because she was a soldier?
Leave her to me.
FSHUH!
Kang Han Soo, having spread his Righteous Heros Wings, took to the air.
And that wasnt all.
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
The soul spirits dwelling in the Elemental Sword Endymion and the local spirits living in the tower assisted him!
Reeeeeeeeeee?!
In the name of Mon!
Our stats fell to the bottom due to the 40th-floor bosss Brave ability, but it didnt matter to Kang Han Soo, who had absorbed Master Mons teachings.
He beautifully cut the dragons thick neck between her 6th and 7th vertebrae 10 seconds after their battle began.
Babak!
The gigantic red lizards lifeless body fell to the ground.
? Sieg: This is making us question your strategy, senior Satan.
? Odin: You said we need to encourage her to fight in her dragonian form.
? M. Satan: Thats what you should do under normal circumstances. What youre witnessing is far from normal circumstances.
? Ah: He didnt even bother to rest on the 50th floor!
? Amon: There is no reason for him to do so.
60th floor!
Ignoring the 50th floor, which was for service and rxation, I continued up the stairs.
Lend me your power, Fantasys inhabitants. With your help, I Kh?!
Im tired of waiting.
Potatoel, who got a job in the Demon Kings Tower, raised his hands and began to collect natures energy.
I wanted to wait a while because he tried so hard, but after he took up ten seconds of my time, I decided to just obliterate him.
? Isis: I kind of feel sorry for him
? Piko: May his soul rest in peace. Mon.
The 70th floor brought back memories.
Former Demon Lord Pedonar.
My father-inw greeted me.
So youve reached this ce atst, Chosen Hero! I am Demon Lord Pedonar, the incarnation of evil itself Huh?!
Oops! My hand slipped!
As soon as I saw my insolent father-inw, who ran away after dumping his daughter and responsibilities on me, I was moved to tears.
Taking into ount his greeting, it took me 5 seconds to clear this floor.
I stepped on my father-inws broken spine and looked at the dummies.
My party was really impressive.
? Luke: I think hell be able to easily break through the 80th floor. Its only guarded by his clone and a fewpanions.
? Odin: I dont know how well hed do on the 90th floor, but the 80th will definitely be easy for him.
? Shiva: This is corny.
? Zeus: Shiva. Shiva. Wheres your photo with the Monstar?
? Ah: Stop mocking Shiva.
But things would be different on the 80th floor.
Me vs. myself.
Ill be going alone from here on out. You did well.
It was time to take matters into my own hands.
Chapter 392 - [28th Round] Hero > Hero + Companions
Chapter 392 - [28th Round] Hero ] Hero + Companions
I perfectly understand that itll be difficult for you students to recreate this new strategy to clear the 80th floor, so Ill give you a special demo.
I sent the couples back to the 50th-floor lounge, giving them time to spend theirst moments together before the end of the world.
The Guardian didnt have anyone, so I entrusted her to Green Cake.
(Thank you very much for taking care of her.)
Be diligent if youre thankful.
I showed unprecedented mercy by doing this favor to Lanuvels daughter, who was pretending to be sweet.
Anyway, before I proceeded to the boss room, I strengthened Monstar by making it consume the weapons of Alex, Kang Han Soo, and the Guardian.
Holy Demon de Swordmaster: Light and Darkness.
Celestial Runelord Sword: Inner Strength.
Elemental Sword Endymion: 5 Attributes.
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul, light, darkness.
My sword now possessed all attributes, and as a bonus, it also enhanced my inner strength.
Its name also changed slightly.
Monstar G.
After that, I moved forward with only Disco apanying me.
With the help of my newly enhanced Holy Sword and the Air Devil, we easily reached the 80th floors entrance.
I provided much-needed rification for the students here.
As everyone already knows, youll have to deal with your own clone and its fivepanions on this floor., which is why the most popr tactic right now is leaving the Hero to fight their own doppelganger while theirpanions fight the rest of the enemies. Theoretically speaking, its not bad, but it takes too long to gather enoughpanions to execute such a strategy.
? Ah: Is that why hes going to do it alone?
? Odin: Whats his point? Cant he count?
? Amon: I dont understand this either.
? Zeus: Hero vs. Hero + Companions. Its not that hard to figure out who would win.
BOOM!
Booed by pessimistic students, I opened the door on the 80th floor.
I understood how they felt.
After all, they were fools who couldnt even distinguish mon from mun.
They left me no choice but to demonstrate it in person, though.
He came alone?
I doubt it.
Instead of talking among ourselves, use detection magic already.
Beware of traps.
His allies might be hiding.
I faced my clone and his party.
I could take advantage of Gods Favor to create the power gap I needed, but this was a live broadcast. I had to teach the students a lesson.
I let ourbat powers remain absolutely identical, but there was still only one difference.
Companions.
He had fivebatants on his side, while I didnt even bring a support group.
Regardless, my copy still couldnt believe that I was alone.
That was important.
It might seem like a small factor, but my victory or defeat depended on it.
Air Devil!
Fshuh!
As soon as Monstar Gs des had been unleashed, I ignored their introductory speech and charged in their direction without hesitation.
Air Devil! My clone shouted after a slight dy.
The system copied mepletely, allowing him to decipher my n.
But he realized toote that I challenged them alone.
Ph?!
Why?
Whats going on Kh!
No!
You traitor
This was why I held that certain element of doubt with high regard.
He managed to kill two of his fake friends, while I, acting a moment earlier, killed three.
They injured my shoulder, but it was nothing but a minor inconvenience to me.
All that mattered was that I killed more people than my duplicate.
? Luke: Whats going on?!
? Baal: Why did the boss kill hispanions?
? Zeus: What is this madness?
? Ah: Turning my brain off and not thinking about this situation altogether would probably make me understand it better than actually trying to analyze it.
With the students watching our battle stunned by their sheer amazement, my clone and I charged at each other.
Bam Bang Clink Boom!
We both aimed at each others spines, but there was a tiny gap between us that gradually widened.
I killed one more person than the boss, which was what caused that slight advantage. By absorbing more experience, I grew a little stronger than him.
That made all the difference I needed.
His scratch turned into a minor injury, which became a grave wound, then grew into a fatalceration not long after. In the end, that fatalceration was what led to his tragic death.
Kh How vile
Done.
In the end, my clone fell to the cold floor with a broken spine, his final expression filled with indignation.
I didnt know how long we had been fighting.
Just as I demonstrated, students, the correct strategy for this floor is to challenge the boss withoutpanions.
? Odin: He made it look so easy.
? Zeus: Hero ] Hero + Companions. Someone please exin how thats possible. What kind of equation is that?
? Ah: Let Satan exin it! Hes the one who spread the wrong strategy, after all!
? Baal: I second that!
? M. Satan: Im very sorry for causing such an uproar
I absorbed my doppelgangers experience points, and Monstar G absorbed the fake Monstar G, doubling its strength.
That wasnt all.
Fighting a perfect replica of me was a good opportunity to recognize my shorings and improve mybat skills.
I tilted my head to face the ceiling.
Your clone copies not only your abilities but also your thinking. However, it only copies who you were when you entered the 80th floor. From there, the two of you will develop separately. Students who arent as good as me can enter the boss room with their ownpanions and immediately kill them. In doing so, youll be guaranteed to be stronger than your opponent, not considering any other variables. Simple, isnt it?
? ID: Its so simple that I cant fullyprehend it.
? Sieg: Somethings wrong with this teacher.
? Isis: I dont think you have any right to say that, Sieg. You havent even made it to the 10th floor.
? Luke: After thinking about it, Im still not sure I understand
? Shiva: Ill try itter.
After providing the students the right strategy for this floor, I continued climbing.
Disco, waiting for me on the 79th floor, followed me with a displeased expression.
Im ready to listen to any of yourints, Disco.
Youre doing something stupid. I dont understand why youre rejecting your destiny. You just had to surrender at the very beginning, back in the Holy Empire.
Surrender? Because of such an easy adventure?
You have strange standards! The Fantasy Institutions current teaching method isnt at a level the average student can handle!
Dont be absurd.
I just took advantage of public knowledge and applied it effectively. Knowledge is power.
Even so
Youre way out of line. Have you forgotten that were live? All youre doing right now is insulting the students hard work by saying they cant cope.
I turned away from Disco, who could no longer find a rebuttal, then slowly climbed to the 89th floor.
The boss rooms, located on every 10th floor, were the most difficult, but this didnt mean the rest of the tower was unworthy of attention.
The students mistook me for a teacher, so I took advantage of that to provide a little exnation.
The Demon Lords Tower recreates the various locations and situations that a student might encounter while exploring Fantasy.
After all, I decorated each floor based on my experience during my 1st round.
To avoid wasting my time, I break through the floors in between boss rooms swiftly and without much thought, but if you take each of them seriously, pondering their significance, you can attain great enlightenment even without Mons Teachings.
? Luna: Teacher is so cool today.
? Isis: I agree ^^
? Sara: So focusing on bosses alone is wrong.
? Lilith: Is he married?
90th floor of the Demon Lords Tower.
This was the real final exam.
Anyone could get this far with a little effort. This floor itself, however, was different.
I gave them more insight.
This floor, immune to all tricks, will serve as a testament to your skills. Beginners who entered the tertiary education course without knowing anything should be able to cope with all the difficulties here after about 200 years of effort. Trust me on that.
That was because the 90th-floor boss was me with 200 years of experience.
Of course, they wouldnt probably need that long anymore. During my time, the education system just wasnt as good as it is now.
Lanuvel and mypanions constantly interfered with me back then, and Parmaels prejudices prevented me from graduating.
Compared to that, the current Fantasy Institution was a real paradise.
The students now had the Monphone Community, which allowed them to share information with their fellow Heroes.
They were also now guided by Green Cake, who, unlike Lanuvel, actually helped them, and I even asked the rulers of every continent to actively aid them on their adventures.
Didnt I already make it easy for them?
Well, the time hase!
Morality Teacher! Morality Teacher! Encourage me as you used to in the old days!
? Encouragement: Be careful. After getting married and retiring, your movements have be a little stiff.
It couldnt be!
The time I spent ying with Lanuvels spine in the Demon Realm seemed to have dulled my senses.
I thought I had fully recovered from that incident, but Morality Teachers words told me otherwise.
If I werent careful, Id die.
Hey?
Kang Han Soo, who, sitting on the toilet in front of me, was a copy of my version just before I became Demon Lord Parmamon.
It wasnt that long ago.
He was very close to who I was now.
Opening his eyes, he said, If you want to go higher, leave your spine as payment. Pretty simple, isnt it?
? Race: United Spirit
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Ascended (Hero = Demon Lord)
? Skills: Gifted ZZZ, Divinity Z, Fabrication Z, Favoritism MAX, Immortality MAX
? Status: Dragon Scale
His stats werent high based on the tertiary education courses standards.
My best friend Noebius, Married Man Alex, Connoisseur Shakespeare, and Giant King Phoenix were far more dangerous since they had G-rank skills.
However, the problem was that he was still better than me.
? Race: Adored Human
? Level: 2950
? Job: Apostle (Favor = Ability)
? Skills: Faith GGG, Cooking ZZ, Dexterity Z, Endurance Z, Intelligence Z, Extermination MAX
? Status: Holy Sword, Devotion
Faith wouldnt work against him, a true Monist, since it only held absolute power over heretics.
It seemed he had just finished analyzing my stats as well.
GGG-rank Faith? Judging by your body, it appears youve properly internalized the teachings of Master Mon. He said, his tone sounding surprised.
Something like that.
Witnessing how I praised myself with the Righteous Heros smile made me feel strange.
It was like looking in a mirror.
Interesting. Lets find out which of us is the best student of Master Mon, shall we?
Kang Han Soo got off the toilet.
He still had the Righteous Heros smile on his face, but I already knew he was far from delighted.
The best student of Master Mon.
He didnt like the fact that some show-off was trying to deprive him of that title.
There was nothing I could do about it, however.
It didnt matter if he was my past self. I couldnt just give up that title.
Mon.
I clothed my body with Favor.
He hadnt yet unfurled his Righteous Heros Wings or covered his body with the Noebiuss scales, but I couldnt help myself.
I was using a vessel I trained for only less than a year.
Fshuh!
He pounced at me, targeting, as expected, my cervical spine.
But in this fight, I had an overwhelming advantage.
After all, he was me. I knew his methods.
On the other hand, he knew little about me.
That was the difference between an original and a fake.
Bang!
Phah?!
What was wrong with me? How was I being beaten?!
? Anxiety: Be careful. When you were still a student, Councilor Kang Han Soo, you were truly amazing.
Was I weaker than before?
This was shocking!
Chapter 393 - [Side Story] Adventure is Truth!
Chapter 393 - [Side Story] Adventure is Truth!
Since I was a kid, I aspired to be an adventurer.
Exploring the unknown, meeting new people, sitting at a round table in a bar during the evening to discuss what happened during the day
That was my dream.
An adventurer must be able to hunt powerful monsters, Lanuvel.
I know youre cute, but you wont grow stronger if you neglect to hunt.
Why dont you stop wandering and hunt monsters with us instead?
My friends told me such lines every day.
They were adventurers, but in reality, they werent interested in adventures at all.
Hunting, hunting, hunting, hunting
Interested only in the remains of monsters and the rewards that apanied them, they said it was a mistake for me to go on adventures.
But they didnt ignore me.
After all, during my travels, I made a map of the world, a series of books with illustrations of a wide variety of monsters, a list of the best restaurants, and a collection of ancient relics that I got from the dungeons
I was loved.
Its okay! Im weak because of my low level, but Im d my hobby is benefiting people!
Well, if thats the case
Do whats best for you
Alright.
In the end, even my most stubborn friends came to terms with my lifestyle and never brought up the topic again.
One year, a decade, a century, half a millennium passed
Until my adventure, which I thought would go on forever, came to an end.
My life expectancy was the one that stopped me.
Fate had nothing to do with it.
My friends, who leveled up while hunting monsters, still looked like they were 20 years old.
But not me.
Kh-khugh! Haha Am I going to die like this
My youth had long since passed at this point.
I extended my life with the help of rare elixirs and ult techniques that I learned about while traveling the world, but there was nothing I could do about the limitations of the human race.
It wasnt just my body.
My soul.
Once its umted knowledge and experience reached a certain level, its vessel burst like a balloon.
Reincarnation, samsara, rebirth, ascension I tried all possible ways to escape my destiny, but it caught me in the end nheless.
Unable toe to terms with it, it brought me grief.
In this vast universe, there were still so many exciting worlds that I, Lanuvel, had not seen
But my body no longer obeyed me.
Oh! Are you already giving up?
Whos there?
Adventurer Lanuvel, from the perspective of the universe, youre like a speck of dust, but within this gxy, you are a real celebrity.
That doesnt answer my question Oh?!
What was this terrifying piece of flesh?
Because of my presbyopia, I initially thought she was a humanoid monster, but upon closer inspection, I realized she was a female human.
My name is Parmael. You wanted to meet God, right?
It was so sudden.
Realizing that my life span was still too short despite being extended by elixirs and ult magic, I began to search for the almighty God.
Deities clearly existed.
After spending my whole life exploring and wandering through the ruins and temples of countlesss, I came to this conclusion.
However, although I found traces of them, I didnt personally meet any of them. Instead, I wasted decades being deceived by scammers.
Do you believe me?
Yes. No crook would try to seek a meeting with Lanuvel, who prepares for her death in a deste wilderness.
Why do you underestimate yourself so much? Perhaps Im looking for your wisdom.
Thats already all in the past. Kh!
I didnt have any fortune that others could rob from me.
Whenever I had money, I used it all in my journeys. I never started a family to pass on my fortune to either.
Of course, there were times when my knowledge was a weapon, but I had already lost that as well since the oversaturation of my vessel caused symptoms simr to dementia.
I was nobody but a pathetic old woman who would soon sumb to Deaths embrace.
If I could give you a new life, adventurer Lanuvel, how would you repay me?
For as long as you allow me to keep traveling, I will repay you in however way you desire!
Hoho! Then dont forget your promise.
[Light]
First Angel Parmael.
She was a real deity, resembling a monster and possessing the absurd power of time maniption.
With it, she brought me back to my youth.
In addition, she greatly expanded my vessel by appointing me as her apostle.
Thank you so much, Goddess Parmael! What can I do for you?
You just need to travel the world as youve always done before and introduce outstanding adventurers to me, Lanuvel.
Adventurers?
I recruit strong adventurers. I need strength to overthrow the Innocent Goddess loved by all deities.
Innocent Goddess.
ording to myths scattered throughout the universe, she was considered an invincible deity with no tolerance for harems.
Every time she waved her pillow, harem-hungry gods simply dissolved out of existence
It was so absurd that I didnt believe her existence, but she was apparently actually real.
However
Adventurers are not mercenaries, Goddess Parmael.
A strange perspective. Adventurers are people who make money by hunting monsters. Although they also get quests such as escort missions, most of them make a living out of hunting, dont they?
Well
Ill ask you again, Lanuvel. Can you introduce talented adventurers to me? If this task is too difficult for you, Ill just take away my blessing right now.
Ill do it.
I knew I couldnt impose my philosophy and beliefs on others.
Parmael was right, anyway.
Adventurers indeed acted like monster hunters.
They butchered beasts and sold their bones and flesh, and they were only filled with thoughts about ying stronger creatures.
The adventure itself didnt matter to them.
No, what was an adventure for them?
Was it challenging powerful beings, their victory over which wasnt guaranteed?
I knew many of such people. My friends were one of them.
Then we have a deal. I wish you all the best, adventurer Lanuvel.
Thank you, Goddess.
I made a deal with a fat and ugly evil spirit.
*****
At Goddess Parmaels request, I introduced many adventurers to her.
She persuaded them to move to her, casting the promise of eternal life as bait.
Festival, a huge celestial body ideal for training adventurers since it was home to many powerful monsters, was where she sent and edified them.
But she wasnt the owner of this ce.
Graaaaaah!
Noebius, a colossal ck dragon.
Even Goddess Parmael, who controlled time, couldnt get rid of it herself.
I usually speed up my opponents time to exhaust their lifespan, but Noebius only grows stronger with age, so I turned back time to weaken it. As a consequence, many adventurers and angels died in the process.
I see
I listened to her story.
Killing young Noebius would be easy, but I want to catch that dragon and tame it. Thats why, Lanuvel, I need you to bring an excellent tamer to me.
Yes, Goddess.
Was I really free to travel?
If I failed to fulfill her request, she could end my insignificant life at any moment.
In the end, Noebius was captured.
The adventurers I introduced to her all worked together to defeat it, and the tamer I brought back to her proceeded to domesticate it.
Was this an adventure?
I decided that I couldnt leave everything as it was.
So I gave up traveling, my favorite hobby, and stayed at Festival to educate the adventurers.
Ill tell you all about the adventures!
I didnt force them to do anything.
They should figure out for themselves that there were more interesting and rewarding adventures than hunting monsters.
Whats in the dungeons, Lanuvel?
There are hidden treasures and ancient mysteries!
Why set up a camp here, Lanuvel?
So you can feel the greatness of Mother Nature!
Lanuvel, why
Thats because
Time passed.
My efforts were starting to pay off.
Adventurers began to understand the essence of real adventure.
And I changed too.
I had a favorite adventurer, and I had be a mother.
Wow! Whoa!
Ah
I was so stupid.
I wandered all over searching for new adventures, never realizing that settling down and raising a child was also an adventure in itself.
Who would this child be when they grew up?
That remained unknown to me.
An adventure wasnt just a journey.
[Adventure]
Moreover, I naturally became a deity by gaining divine power.
Lanuvel, you
Thank you for saving Lanuvels life, Parmael, but you will no longer sacrifice adventurers for your ambitions!
Okay.
Do you understand me?
Of course. Adventurers should go on adventures. Youre right.
Thank you!
And I even know where they can go.
Thats great!
Fantasy. Youll like it. Its not that far from here, and it has many dungeons.
Ah!
Having be a full-fledged god, I went on an adventure to Fantasy along with other adventurers.
Thus signaled the beginning of tragedy.
*****
I brutally killed the spirit that prevented us from entering a dungeon.
I didnt y her myself but spurred on the adventurers whom she almost persuaded.
I did all of it out of anger.
Dungeons had no masters.
Yet, she insulted adventures and adventurers for trying to explore them, calling them vile and evil.
In the end, we killed her.
Adventure Goddess Lanuvel. After the loss of his wife, Demon Lord Pedonar fell into a rage, dering he would destroy all adventurers.
I understand.
I had no regrets.
She paid the price for insulting those I held dear.
What will you do?
We need to defeat the Demon Lord by joining forces with the adventurers!
Right. We must defend the rights of adventurers. Ill help you.
Thank you!
That was stupid of me.
Since then, I helped Parmael turn adventurers into monster hunters.
Pedonar was treated like another monster, but I ignored this obvious truth.
The results were dire.
I lost everything.
Without you, I wouldnt have managed tounch the Fantasy Institution. To express my gratitude, I founded a country that will honor your aplishments andmanded all the angels to respect you from now on. Moreover, I will support you in raising Heroes that match your ideals.
The Fantasy Institution, a system for raising Heroes, was implemented bybining the divine powers of Demon Lord Pedonar and First Angel Parmael.
I still couldnt understand any of it.
Although the adventurers began to be called Hero candidates, I didnt pay attention.
Thank you very much, Parmael!
I was a real fool.
*****
Having be a part of the Fantasy Institution, I began to help Parmael in training Heroes.
It had been an eternity.
I summoned another Hero candidate from another dimension.
[Adventure]
Afterward, I greeted him.
Wee, Hero! I know youre confused since youve been summoned here without warning, so let me brief you at least.
Aaaaahhhhhhh?!
Ah, calm down! Youre in Fantasy, a dimension different from where you were born
What?! Is this a dream?! Have I been kidnapped?! Am I being filmed by a hidden camera?! Am I in the underworld?!
I know its difficult to grasp everything at once, but I will begin to exin everything gradually, step by step Please calm down!
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
This is not a dream!
This time, with the help of my divine power, I summoned a truly pitiful Hero candidate.
The first impression he made was terrible, but [Adventure] wouldnt have brought him here if he didnt have talent.
Have youe to your senses?
No.
Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Im Lanuvel, an archaeologist. I obtained the prophecy during one of my travels to study the ancient legend about Sir Hero. In ancientnguage, Lanuvel means truth. May I know your name?
Kang Han Soo.
Ho ho! Hero Kang Han Soo! I wish you all the best for your future!
I didnt know at the time.
Who would have thought that pitiful Hero would be the Demon Lord who would consume everything?
Get down on your knees and put your hands up, Ssosia.
Right in front of your grandson, mom?
Unless you want to call your husband your father, dont do it.
Not again!
Lets leave your stupid mother alone and have more fun, Sid.
Wow? Wow~?
My grandson looks like my son-inw, which is why hes very cute. Im d he doesnt look like you.
Mom, please forgive me.
Raise your hands.
Yes
The two were still raising a fuss, while the Heros son was still being cute.
Now that I had been punished, I felt really happy.
It was weird, wasnt it?
Lanuvel.
Yes, Mistress Fantasy!
What are you thinking about?
I think Sidael is really cute.
Right! Because he looks like my beloved son-inw!
Im looking forward to his future.
Wow?
I hoped this kid grew up to be a better adventurer.
That was Lanuvels new dream.
Chapter 394 - [28th Round] Strongest Hero
Chapter 394 - [28th Round] Strongest Hero
How was I being beaten?
That was a purely philosophical question, but Morality Teacher kindly exined the reason nheless.
However, if I were to ept it, it would be tantamount to admitting that I had been leading azy lifestyletely. I had to cope with the situation.
Bang!
That was easier said than done.
I was beaten so badly I was starting to get dizzy.
You disappoint me.
The bastard even dared taunt me!
I thought it would be easy since I had already defeated Kang Han Soo during the Great Battle of Mons Teachings.
But I was wrong.
Kang Han Soo from my party was a kid with 20 years of experience, and the Kang Han Soo I fought now was a veteran of 200 years.
The two naturally werent the same.
Even so, the difference between them still exceeded all my expectations.
Pha?!
? Odin: This is justice!
? Zeus: Justice has finally caught up with that impudent teacher!
? Amon: Justice indeed!
? Ah: Lets raise a toast!
? Lilith: Are you guysplete idiots? The 90th-floor boss isnt on our side. Hes our enemy.
? Baal: In the future, well also get beaten up, just like the teachers
If not for Gods endless Favor for me, my spine wouldve already broken in the blink of an eye.
Youre a tough fellow, at least. Ill give you that.
Kh
How I imagined this fight would go down was far from what was happening now.
He was supposed to be crushed by my dominant skills, forcing him to immediately use his Righteous Heros Wings and dragon scales, at which point Id finish him using Monstar G.
Instead, despite being physically stronger thanks to Favor, I was beaten unterally. That evidenced that I was losing to him in purebat ability. Right now, he was just mocking me.
Air Devil!
I summoned Monstar G, myst resort, and retaliated.
Fshuh!
Its six des attacked Kang Han Soo from all directions.
Finally, something good from you.
But he dodged each and every one of them.
(Hes a real monster! Now that Ive assessed his movements from the sidelines, I can only say one thing. You need to prepare for the worst, junior.)
This served as a lesson for me.
It was as what Morality Teacher said; I did be lethargic.
However, this weakness could also be excused by the fact that I wasnt using my real body but a vessel I wasnt ustomed to.
I was holding on so far, but I could clearly feel the difference in our skills.
While the Air Devil was buying me some time, I adjusted the shape of my body, making it as close as possible to the real one.
Lets try this again, shall we?
I boldly closed the distance and swung Monstar G at Kang Han Soo, forcing him to retreat since he had his hands full dodging six other des.
Fshuh!
The Righteous Heros Wings rose from behind him.
And we collided again.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Kh!
Six pairs of sharp des shed with his wings, causing Kang Han Soo to let out a groan for the first time due to a small cut on his right forearm.
This was proof that the longer the battle went on, the faster the gap in our powers narrowed.
My fighting spirit that had died out after my retirement rekindled in my chest.
Well, what do you think? Are you happy?
Hows Ssosia?
He answered my question with a question of his own.
But that alone was enough for me to know.
He finally noticed.
Although my face and skin color were different, my technique and physique were almostpletely the same.
Shes okay.
She was even having a good time with her mother after being apart for so long.
I see.
As his lips quivered faintly, he covered his entire body with Noebiuss scales, turning his skin pitch ck and causing his hair to fall out.
Dragonian form.
That served as proof that he had acknowledged he was at a disadvantage.
Lets continue!
What are you so happy about, you sneaky bastard?
What?
If I had a weapon capable of withstanding your fraudulent Holy Sword, I wouldve won already.
I couldnt rebuke his words.
He was right.
Even his Righteous Heros Wings and dragon scales couldnt block Monstar Gs de.
That wasnt all.
Gods Favor, which had enveloped my body, couldnt easily be prated by bare hands. That was why I still hadnt died.
That realization made me feel like crying
? Constion: Dont be discouraged, Councilor Kang Han Soo. Starting from the bottom and getting to the 90th floor in a year is really great. That alone is already an achievement paltry students can never repeat!
Whimper! Morality Teacher! Morality Teacher! Thank you! I love you! Mon!
My heart, tormented by my alter egos insults, healed a little.
But now that I thought about it
After bing the Demon Lord and having children, I certainly grew sluggish.
This fight was my defeat.
Nevertheless
I apologize for being so pathetic, but I cannot afford to lose here due to unfortunate circumstances.
Sure. Come at me already, you asshole.
Thats one too many insults!
Leaping towards Kang Han Soo, who left a scar on my tender heart, I unleashed the des of Monstar G once more. At that moment, his expression immediately became serious.
And he did something crazy.
Phk! Phk!
He pulled out his Righteous Heros Wings, wielding them with both hands, and used them to repulse all six des.
At the same time, new wings sprouted on his back, which then fired sharp spikes at me like a machine gun.
Tsk!
He predicted my movements and nned ahead to counter them.
Otherwise, spikes from different sides wouldnt have flown to my groin area.
Dzin! Dzin! Dzin! Dzin!
These thorns were consumable items. As with the Righteous Heros Wings, the more often they were created, the greater the load on his body.
I stopped them with Monstar G.
I already knew how he would act from here. This could be hisst chance, after all.
Are you distracted?
I had no time to answer.
He threw all six des to the side, and my Holy Sword was knocked off bnce after I used it to deflect his ranged attack.
I was left defenseless.
He grabbed my neck between my 6th and 7th vertebrae. If Kang Han Soo had a Holy Sword, I wouldve been dead already.
It was obvious what would happen next.
BOOM!
I was beaten again.
His dragonian head collided against mine.
With my throat in his hand, I was at a disadvantage, leaving me no choice but to strain my weak cervical spine.
Khhhhhh
With the connection between my brain and spinal cord now broken, my body no longer obeyed me.
Pressing his forehead against mine, Kang Han Soo said, Im d.
What?
What was he talking about?
If peace hadnte, I wouldnt have be so weak.
I was speechless.
In this situation, when every second counted, he was thinking about that?
He remained rxed throughout most of our battle. He exuded nopetitive spirit at all.
If we were on an equal footing, he wouldve toyed around with me like a child.
Good job.
Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!
Monstar Gs six des pierced through his body.
Did he forget to protect himself?
No.
From the beginning, he had no way to defend himself against Monstar G.
Despite relying only on evasion, he pushed me to the verge of defeat.
(Junior! Are you okay?!)
No. Not at all.
Kang Han Soo didnt break my neck even though there were plenty of opportunities for him to do so after he headbutted me.
Rather, he conceded victory to me.
? Ah: Huh?
? Sieg:??????????
? Zeus: What happened?
? Odin: I dont know. Just before the 90th-floor boss could serve justice, something changed.
? Baal: Maybe that teachers head is surprisingly hard?
? Amon: And thats the reason behind his victory?
Click!
The doors to the boss room opened, allowing Disco to enter.
She waited outside, but as an inspector, she saw everything perfectly.
Hey! That victory was hard for you, wasnt it, Hero? No, can you even call that a victory?
There was a grin on her face.
She seemed to have waited a long time for me to experience difficulties at least once.
Whats your point?
Im certain that many teachers also disagree with the current educational policy, considering its difficulty is set too high for students. Therefore, I have deemed it necessary to implement a management system that incorporates Monsofts advanced technology instead of continuing to follow this stupid curriculum.
Is that what you wanted to say from the beginning? Youve run out of patience, havent you?
I dont know what you mean. Monsoft Inspector Disco smiled slyly.
She was like abat dog, never letting her target go once she had sunk her fangs into their flesh.
I was surprised.
I didnt think I was that strong at the time. And I had no idea that it would cause me such difficulties.
It wasnt even funny.
What did you expect from a Hero with a year of experience, Disco?
I refuse to listen to excuses. We will conduct an investigation to determine if your previous battle was fair.
Hmm.
I was careless.
If I knew my past self would be so strong, I wouldve prepared for 100 years instead of 1 year.
Regardless, it was time to call it a day.
I went up to the 100th floor, ignoring the inspector, where I saw myself sitting on the throne.
That was how I became lethargic. I did nothing but sit around all day long.
? Race: Perfect Deity
? Level: 1
? Job: Ascended (Hero = Demon Lord)
? Skills: Nature GGG, Divinity G, Dark Energy G, Time G, Space G, Darkness G, Light G, Incitement MAX
? Status: Good
It wasnt about level or skill.
As the power source of the Fantasy system itself, I could manipte my powers as I pleased.
It was a matter of personal ability.
? The path of a true hero is indeed perilous. However, many rtionships supported you through your journey, and you did not lose hope or lose track of your goal. You grew and learned of friendship and love. In the end, you even encountered the Demon Lord. Please ept our sincere congrattions!
? Lets take a look at your grades.
There was no battle.
Students who had reached the 100th floor were given the opportunity to challenge the Demon Lord, but I wasnt a real student.
The live broadcast ended when the 90th-floor boss fell.
? Please check your report card thoroughly!
? Name: Monsoft K
? Combat Power: SS
? Achievements: SSS
? Reputation: A
? Personality: S
? Note: Thank you very much.
But I didnt stop anyway. I went up to the 100th floor.
For a diploma.
? You passed the test.
? Congrattions on your graduation.
? Certificate: This document hereby certifies that the aforementioned student went on an adventure and executed heroic and righteous deeds of his own free will throughout his life in Fantasy. In addition, he became a role model among its local inhabitants by ceaselessly caring for hispanions. Henceforth, the aforementioned student is designated as an SSS-ss Hero. We sincerely congratte you!
Afterpleting the tertiary education course, one would get the right to be an employee and take part in the work of the Fantasy Institution.
Until now, I was just the Directors husband.
I couldnt take the test of my own volition since I could be suspected of cheating, but with the arrival of the Monsoft inspection team, I had an unexpected opportunity.
Diploma of Tertiary Education.
Now, as a school employee, I could visit the faculty room and stare at the pretty Morality Teacher as much as I wanted!
? Embarrassment: Such a banal reason for getting a diploma
Not at all, Morality Teacher!
It was a very important aplishment for me.
Well
I killed my Monsoft K vessel, which I had been using for a year, by piercing through my heart with Monstar G without any regret.
In doing so, I returned to my original body, sitting on my throne.
[Original Sin]
[Demon Realm]
[Adventure]
Now I could definitely kill Kang Han Soo on the 90th floor in 0.2 seconds.
But what would be the point?
Since Director Ssosiel isnt present, I report to you, her representative, regarding the transfer of management of the Fantasy Institution to Monsoft
Her representative?
Yes.
No. Thats just not right.
I just handed over my responsibilities to my cowardly wife for a while because I didnt have the necessary education.
She was still the system administrator.
What do you mean?
I replied calmly.
I am firing Director Ssosia for acting without my permission. Consequently, her approval of the inspection is also invalidated.
That doesnt make any sense!
Why? Is there a w in my judgment?
Parmael took the Fantasy Institution away from Ssosia because shecked power.
The current situation was no different.
[Original Sin]
Fantasy rested on my power alone.
I gave my wife the title of Director since I wasnt educated enough, but I had in my hands all the power, which could be called the assets of thepany.
You
Disco shivered, her face flushing with anger.
[Devastation]
You want to y with me? I wouldnt mind.
Tsk.
I dered myself the President of the Fantasy Institution.
I hereby bring forth the Hero Training System to an end. From here on out, well be utilizing the Adventurer Training System, in which all students will be trained together!
And Morality Teacher with a beautiful body and soul would be my secretary
? Rejection: I appreciate your offer, but I have to refuse, President Kang Han Soo.
Ah! With tears in my eyes, Iunched the 6th curriculum.
Chapter 395 - [29th Round] 6th Curriculum
Chapter 395 - [29th Round] 6th Curriculum
The Fantasy System, which provided all students with individual ssrooms, could only exist because I donated my own strength.
The same went for the characteristics tied to Heroes and locals.
It would take too long to exin in detail, but it could be better expressed mathematically.
Primary education course: 781,704 (61%)
Secondary education course: 20,339 (13%)
Tertiary education course: 3,650 (7%)
Above was the number of sses given to students by course and the fraction of my strength spent on them.
ording to it, about 81% of my total divine power was used to maintain 800,000 parallel worlds.
800,000.
That was an absurdlyrge figure.
If onebined all these worlds together, there would each be 800,000 Noebius, Erdanti, Shakespeare, Phoenix, Alex, Kang Han Soo, and so on.
By getting rid of all those dimensions and getting all my power back, I could swallow an entire gxy without even blinking.
And the remaining 19%?
Vault of Souls: 98,814,539,240 (1%)
Faculty Room: 781 (3%)
Alumni: 2,014,614,072 (4%)
Personal Guards: 99,999 (10%)
Other small expenses, including the handsome Demon Lords maintenance, my cowardly wifes living expenses, Captain Fantasys milk, Sidaels needs, data transfer fees between Earth and Fantasy, and Festivals upkeep, were around 1%.
In other words, my capacity was divided into an almost infinite number of factors, which left me with less than 0.1% of my total divine power.
It wasnt just me.
First Demon Pedonar.
First Angel Parmael.
The two deities who supported the Fantasy system before my era carried less than 1% of their divine power at any given time.
Looking back, I could say I was lucky.
If Parmael hadnt been so helpless, spending almost all of her divine power on maintaining the system, I wouldve simply been crushed like a bug as soon as I showed any hostility.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop
We sincerely wee and congratte you for your inauguration, President!
Congrattions!
Congrattions!
The teachers, led by Director Bakery, appeared one after the other and greeted me.
A total of about 300 people.
There were quite a few teachers and trainees who couldnt attend because they were overworked, but all the key people who ran the Fantasy Institution were present.
The only exception was the recently dismissed director.
I had a feeling that master would one day achieve this, but it happened much earlier than I expected.
The sooner, the better.
Answering Hippolia with a smile, I looked at all the teachers and other school staff.
I then released a decree.
Students should no longer regress upon death henceforth. Instead, theyll be sent to Festival, where theyll continue their studies. Teachers and trainees must hereby ensure no friction would arise between the students while also focusing their efforts on merging the dimensions of Fantasy. Deputy Director Hippolia will announce further policy amendments and revisions, and Director Bakery will be in charge of school coordination and cooperation. Any questions?
President, my name is Parker Lee
If you dont like it, return to your Vice-principal position.
I, Director Bakery, solemnly vow to do everything in my power to meet the Presidents expectations.
Very well. Adjourned!
It might seem like arge-scale reform was carried out in a hurry and thoughtlessly, but I had been preparing for this for a long time.
Monphonemunity.
Due to the use of individual sses, the students were deprived of their ability to meet their ssmates except during the secondary education course. However, their monphones, in some way, united them, preparing them for this major overhaul.
? Announcement: We would like to inform our esteemed students that we are now entering the 6th curriculum, and the reorganization of our beloved institutions faculty and staff members is a part of that process.
? Announcement: Previous educational policies centered on the concept of a Chosen Hero, the side effects of which included the students feeling as if theyre irreceable, resulting in a decrease in their efforts. Therefore, after careful deliberation regarding the problem, we have decided to implement a new system, the 6th curriculum, where the Hero is chosen through apetition between adventurers.
? Announcement: Embark on this new adventure with like-minded colleagues and show us that you are worthy of bing future Heroes. Thank you for your attention.
Bakery was really talented.
I hadnt really exined anything to him yet, but he had already released a notice perfectly woven ording to my n.
I didnt appoint him Director for no reason.
Yes, I could leave that position to Ssosia or Hippolia.
But I chose him, realizing he was the best option I had.
After all, I had seen this situation countless times.
Whenever Heroes put members of their harem or their cheerleaders in key positions, it always resulted in dire problems they would be forced to clean up in the end.
That was why Fugitive Senior ran away from here in the first ce.
Now that he had be the ruler of a gxy, he seemed to be appointing people to different offices ording to their ability to handle the responsibilities that came with it. However, that didnt cover the fact that he caused too much sh*t in the past by doing the opposite.
Pleasefort Ssosia when she returns. Shell probably be very upset.
You are a real angel
She worried about even the very embodiment of jealousy
Hippolia, who remained by my side instead of leaving with the teachers and other staff members, answered with a smile.
First Angel, to be more precise.
Huh
I wanted the pretty Morality Teacher to be my secretary, but it seemed Id have to keep my cowardly wife by my side instead.
She might do something otherwise due to her vile jealousy.
I checked the students reactions as well.
? Shiva: Zeus, are you here? I want to meet you as soon as possible ^^
? Sieg: Smells like BL! Haha!
? Odin: Funny! I thought wed never see each other until we graduated.
? Opion: I need to review previous messages. Is there anyone who insulted me?
? Ah: Are you going to take revenge? LOL
? Baal: Im finally going to see what those showoffs, which havent sent a single photo to prove their achievements yet, are capable of.
? Isis: Looking for group members for a joint adventure! (1/5)
? Luna: The most beautiful woman in Fantasy is looking for colleagues!
? Leon: Im looking forpanions with whom we can create the strongest guild together.
? Lilith: See you in the central square!
Some were unhappy with the reform, but the vast majority were delighted by it since it would allow them to meet the friends they made in the monphonemunity.
It was as nned.
Simpletons.
Director Bakery briefly mentioned this in the notice, but the Chosen Hero method was a helping hand for social outcasts.
But I chopped that off.
Sooner orter, those slow-witted students will realize the reality, but the system would have already fully established itself by that time.
This was the essence of Incitement and Fabrication, the skills of a former Hero!
I always thought the Monphonemunity was undermining the Heroes independence, but I never realized it existed for such a purpose Disco muttered.
Hey, inspector. Are you ready to speak with the real owner of the Fantasy Institution now?
President Parmamon, do you want to make an enemy out of Monsoft?
What makes you think I do?
You executed such a major overhaul without first asking the investors opinions. Thats a vition of all agreements made between the parties involved.
Fuck those agreements!
I didnt just fiddle with Lanuvels spine in the Demon Realm.
The records deleted from the archives of the Fantasy Institution remained in her brain.
I knew everything now.
[Original Sin]
Romantium recycling, parallel world technology, supply of new students, institutional advertisements, job employment assistance, protection contracts, dimension leases. Thats all the help youve provided, isnt it?
If so, then lets go through each point I mentioned. My institution will no longer produce romantium or utilize parallel worlds, for that matter. I dont need new student batches either since the old ones have lots of children they irresponsibly abandoned. With that being the case, what would I need advertisements for, even? Moreover, Fantasy will no longer supply you with workers, and since, unlike Parmael, I dont avoid fights, I have no need for protection. Lastly, By eliminating our reliance on parallel worlds, I have eradicated the need for dimension leases. Questions?
Businesses arent toys for you to y around with, President. The act of unterally terminating our contract is a serious vition of terms.
I have nothing to do with that. The treaty you speak of was agreed upon between you and Parmael, was it not?
No. Monsoft signed a contract with the Fantasy Institution, not Parmael herself.
It seems you havent noticed it yet, Disco. The Fantasy Institution has already been closed.
What?
Discos expression disyed her clear perplexion.
Was she that stupid?
I closed it.
What does that even mean?
Yes, it seemed she was.
We told the students that were not in the 6th curriculum, but look at this new world from the perspective of a third party. The Fantasy dimensions structure is now simr to that of any regr dimension. Its concentration of adventurers is a bit high, but there are plenty of such dimensions, arent there?
Inspector Disco turned pale.
She seemed to have finally understood what I meant.
I was really fortunate. Pedonar, tired of living in captivity, gave me his divine power. Regardless of how good a son-inw I am, that was beyondmon sense.
Transferring property to ones children was amon urrence.
However, if they had eternal life, they wouldnt give every single possession they had to their children that easily.
They could designate them as a steward or gift them some of their fortunes, but they wouldnt pass on everything they had created or earned, especially if the inheritor in question were their son-inw who stole their beloved daughters heart!
[Darkness]
But Pedonar did it.
My father-inw, tired of eternal imprisonment, left everything he had to his trusted son-inw and chose freedom.
If he knew things would turn out this well, he wouldnt have ever given up his power.
[Light]
Parmael was also idiotic.
She was careless, considering Hippolia and me to be pathetic insects. In the end, that left her defenseless.
If she reduced the number of parallel worlds she maintained even by just a little, that slight increase in her divine power wouldve led topletely different results.
[Original Sin]
So I decided to learn from their mistakes.
6th curriculum.
That was just an excuse to regain 99% of my total strength.
Primary education course: 64,280 (6%)
Secondary education course: 2,145 (1%)
Tertiary education course: 503 (1%)
After decreasing the cost of maintaining this institution from 81% of my divine power, I regained 73% of it.
Sooner orter, all parallel worlds would disappear, which would reduce the deduction in my strength to less than 1%.
Vault of Souls: 98,814,530,000 (1%)
Faculty Room: 1,000 (3%)
Alumni: 2,014,623,851 (4%)
Personal Guards: 90,000 (9%)
The Personal Guards were just Parmaels harem consisting of 100,000 men. The Heavenly Demon, whose soul my cowardly wife imbued into the Holy Sword, was one of them.
Director Bakery had already transferred 10,000 of them to the alumni and the Faculty room.
In doing so, 1% of my divine power returned to me.
Hmm Ive now regained 74% of it.
He was far more capable than I expected.
The monphonemunity that I organized also had more impact than I predicted.
I thought it would take at least a decade to recover more than 90% of my total strength, but it seemed like a few days would be enough at this rate.
[Original Sin]
[Original Sin]
My divine power, split to nigh-infinity, merged into one.
Parmael and Pedonar divided and distributed the blood (World) and flesh (Characteristics) they inherited from their parents(Nature).
That was [Original Sin].
My divine power.
But that was no longer the case.
I fixed that mistake by collecting all scattered flesh and blood and was awarded for it.
[Source].
I wouldnt normally say this since it would make others think I have eighth-grade syndrome, but I must not miss this opportunity Power is surging through my body! Hahaha!
Master Hippolia looked at me with concern but didnt dare say what she had in mind.
Ahem.
I looked at Disco.
[Devastation]
Weak. Too weak.
Now I understood why Parmael looked down on me and grew careless when we fought.
Shall we begin?
???A certain righteous divine being punishes his opponents spine.???
???A certain divine messenger screams.???
???A certain righteous divine being stops.???
???A certain divine messenger tenses up.???
Hmm?
I took my first step into the world of some gods.
Chapter 396 - [29th Round] A Community
Chapter 396 - [29th Round] A Community
What the hell is that?
???A certain righteous divine being asks a question.???
Ahem. If people look directly at the sun with the naked eye, theyre bound to go blind. This serves as sunsses that protect people who look at deities.
???A certain divine messenger answers.???
The exnation of the divine messenger with a weak spine was vague, but I understood what she meant immediately.
The principle was simr to gravity.
ording to thatw of the universe, objects with lower mass were attracted to objects with higher mass.
Gods were overwhelming beings. Thus, a rtively weak entity would simply be swallowed up by their presence.
This is problematic.
???A certain righteous divine being is upset.???
I was going to visit my family on Earth as soon as I dealt with the problems of Fantasy.
But it had now be more difficult to do so.
If I were to appear on Earth, my beautiful home, not only my family but all living beings on it would be destroyed.
What should I do
???A certain god is peeping.???
???A certain divine administrator wees a certain righteous divine being.???
???A certain god is waving his hand at a certain righteous divine being.???
???A certain divine spirit is sniffing around.???
???A certain god smiles.???
A bunch of deities that I never knew existed.
They didnt seem to be hostile. Instead, they just seemed to be greeting their new neighbor.
but it was distracting.
The sooner you get used to it, the better for your psyche, God of Justice, Disco said.
???A certain divine messenger provides advice.???
Ignoring these divine announcements, I asked, Who created thismunity?
The Innocent Goddess.
Ah! That highly ranked deity!
Lanuvel said that the Innocent Goddess was one of the three greatest beings to ever exist.
In the past, the gods didnt know about the existence of their fellow transcendents. Think of it as what Fantasys Heroes were like before the monphonemunity was introduced.
Ah!
I again understood what she meant immediately.
But one day, the Innocent Goddess made an offer that eventually led to the emergence of this Innocent Community.
Hmm
Did she dream of harmony and coexistence between selfish gods?
A really naive, innocent creature.
I dont remember joining it, though.
You didnt directly do it. By receiving the support of other deities who were already in themunity, you automatically entered it.
Support Oh, I see.
[Demon Realm]
[Adventure]
I didnt even notice it, but my mother-inw and Lanuvel blessed me.
Disco confirmed my thoughts.
The Demon Realm is the divine power of the Restless Demonic God, whos on the same level as the Innocent Goddess. He loves to mock members of the Innocent Community.
How?
Youll see. Oh! There he goes again.
???A certain restless demonic god brandishes stolen underwear.???
???A certain divine administrator begs for it to be returned.???
???A certain restless demonic god runs away with a scream.???
???A certain divine administrator begins to cry.???
???A certain innocent goddess waves a pillow.???
???A certain restless demonic god suffers from a nosebleed.???
Hmmm.
I didnt know why, but I got goosebumps.
Was this the fear of death?
I see. The reason you were able to break the contract of your own volition is that youre confident you can win even if you have to fight Monsoft.
Youre the only one who interpreted it that way.
But I wouldnt deny it.
I was powerful now!
You shouldnt use me as a standard for judging Monsoft. Im just the Presidents pet.
Was that a bluff?
Or was it the truth?
I was confident in my victory when I regained most of my divine power from the Fantasy Institution.
However
??? A certain divine administrator expresses gratitude for the help.???
??? A certain innocent goddess smiles affably.???
??? A certain god is digging a hole.???
??? A certain god is burying something in a hole.???
??? A certain careless god erects up a beautiful monument.???
??? A certain restless demonic god leaps out of the grave.???
??? A certain god grows frightened.???
I discovered the world of gods, which I didnt even know existed.
Hence, I became more careful.
This was what reality truly was.
It was because of this that Parmael, a powerful deity who controlled time, was unhappy with her position.
She was just one of many gods.
The universe was too vast.
What do you want?
Romantium. It is one of the two rarest metals that the gods cannot create. And the Fantasy Institution was a good source of it. Until recently.
A pity.
I got rid of the parallel worlds that could be called romantium mines.
You remain ignorant to the full value of that metal, God of Justice. If only you knew what it was capable of, you wouldnt have given up the Fantasy Institution so easily, which Director Parmael worked so hard to create.
Is that all you have to say?
She shouldnt underestimate me.
My dream was to open my own cafe and live happily ever after, having fun with my wifes pelvis.
I didnt need any more than that.
Oh! My cowardly wife had been knocking on the door for quite some time now.
Ipletely forgot.
Pop!
Husband!
As soon as I let her back into the Fantasy dimension, she swiftly jumped into my arms.
???A certain gods eyes sparkled.???
???A certain careless god likes this scene.???
???A certain god smirks.???
???A certain superstitious gods heart raced.???
It looked like it would take longer to get used to thismunity.
I immediately took hold of Ssosias pelvis, not paying attention to the stares of those around me.
Hippolia.
Yes, master.
I gently ran my hand down the First Angels back, the pleasure I caused making her arch backward in a graceful and beautiful manner.
Yes. This was enough.
This was the future I wanted.
If we were in a love story, this would be where wed reach a happy ending perfect to be its epilogue
???A certain god stares at whats happening.???
???A certain superstitious god stares at whats happening.???
???A certain god stares at whats happening.???
???A certain careless god stares at whats happening.???
???A certain god stares at whats happening.???
???A certain divine administrator stares at whats happening.???
If not for these entities, I wouldve been enjoying my life as a gigolo now.
Why were so many gods interested in other peoples familial and love affairs?
Wheres Sidael?
Ah! Mom decided to take care of him herself
Is that so?
It seemed my mother-inw was very attached to her grandson.
But I was a little worried about the Addicted Spirit and Lanuvel, who stayed with them.
? Report: Weve finished transferring students, President. Some of them hesitated, but they were quickly dealt with by promising them a reward.
Reward? Bakery was doing great.
But it hurt my heart that Morality Teachers tone had be so cold! It was as if a wall had been erected between us!
? Confusion: But Im at work right now I apologize for failing to attend the Presidents inauguration, though. I was far too busy.
???A certain righteous divine being is very upset.???
???A certain kind goddess is confused.???
Hmm?
My heart beat faster.
Morality Teacher! Morality Teacher! Be my personal secretary!
? Disimer: I think Ms. Ssosia is more suitable for that position than I am. I dream of bing an outstanding teacher.
???A certain righteous divine being insists.???
???A certain kind goddess refuses.???
Ah
The first time could be considered a coincidence, but not the second.
Morality Teacher, whom I had loved since she was a trainee and I was a student
I was so shocked that I didnt want to think about it now.
Disco.
Hey, whats the matter?! I understand youre shocked to find out theres someone stronger than you, but why do you look like youre about to cry?
Dont you understand the heart of a man?
Thank you for sharing new information with me, but I dont want to talk to you anymore.
Wait! We definitely have some business-rted disagreements, but I dont remember saying anything harsh enough to make a man cry!
???A certain divine messenger makes excuses.???
???A certain careless god uses.???
???A certain god reproaches.???
???A certain divine administrator expresses condolences.???
???A certain god criticizes.???
???A certain superstitious god is disappointed in someone.???
I still found thismunity crazy, but I didnt think it was that bad.
Some of the gods, having greeted me, immediately left. And only five or six continued to watch me.
It had be much quieter.
Go back to where you came from.
This inspector had prolonged her stay in the world of Fantasy far too much.
Morality Teacher gave me too strong of a shock a while ago, so I didnt want to deal with Disco anymore.
Besides, I was also a little busy.
[Genesis]
[Source]
I absorbed [Genesis], which I had previously entrusted to Ssosia, since I was prepared to use it now.
This was probably the crucial difference between [Original Sin] and [Source].
If [Source] was a raw material, Genesis was the factory that processed it.
The two forces, which were originally one, merged again.
At this time
Let me inform you of our final offer at least, God of Justice and President of Fantasy. Monsoft wants to buy the Fantasy. At a very good price. Well also find you a where you can be quiet with your family if you like. I think this is a good deal, Disco said with a meaningful smile.
I frowned. I didnt know what theirpanys intentions were.
The institution has been shut down, and it no longer produces romantium.
Its still worth exploring.
Hmm
Of course, its locals and ecosystem will remain unharmed. Besides
Ive heard enough.
Then
I refuse.
I dont think you should refuse without hearing the price first, President.
The price is irrelevant.
My soul was from Earth, but my body was from the Northern Continent of Fantasy.
In other words, it was the home not only of my cowardly wife and mother-inw but also of me.
No matter how good the conditions were, I would never sell it.
Okay.
If you understand, then leave.
I wanted to settle this peacefully in consideration of our history. Im sorry it had to end this way.
KRRRRRRRR!
As soon as Disco finished speaking, a beautiful woman in a gorgeous red outfit breached the wall of the Fantasy dimension.
I received a request from the Minister Distoria of Foreign Affairs for help. Who needs to be destroyed?
Her voice was also just as beautiful, but it had no emotion. Moreover, her expression and gaze were terrifying.
Who was this?
She had no divine power, but my instincts told me she was stronger than Disco.
And it got on my nerves
Its a monroid! Clinging to me like a frightened kitten, Ssosia screamed in shock.
Whats a monroid?
Its thetest killer android! Distoria intends to acquire Fantasy by force!
[Demon Realm]
Pop! Pop!
I acted quickly.
Without listening to further exnations, I threw Ssosia and Hippolia into the Demon Realm.
Afterward, I arranged divine punishment for a certain divine messenger who decided to oppose me.
[Genesis]

Although its integration wasnt yetplete, it wasnt difficult to erase the inspector from this world.
What?! This is
Having fallen into the time-space trap I created, Disco froze like a mannequin, leaving her defenseless.
However, just before I could eliminate her, a de cut my flesh.
Swoosh!
Blood flowed from my neck.
Looking at the android, I found her holding two swords drenched in my blood.
CRRR!
After recklessly breaking through my trap, she spoke in a dry tone.
I rmend that you surrender. Your chance of winning is only 99.7%.
What did you say?
Was this monroid broken?
I charged at her.

[Genesis]
In the past, my top priority was to deal with Disco first, but that had now changed.
Ipressed space itself to prevent this doll from slipping away.
We were on the 100th floor of the Demon Lords Tower, which had a four-dimensional space muchrger than the towers actual area installed inside it. It was that way to avoid limiting the Heros maneuverability.
But that feature had been rendered useless.
After all, my enemy wasnt a Hero but an invader seeking to tantly usurp my home by force.
Ill destroy you!
CRRRR!
The monroid, which shouldve beenpletely crushed and turned into a heap of scrap metal, simply smashed through the towers wall.
Where was her insane power capable of breaking through spatial barriersing from? She didnt even have divine power.
[Source]
[Genesis]
Pop!
I summoned Monstar.
Now that Fantasy, previously divided into 800,000 equal parts, had be whole again, my weapons effectiveness increased dramatically.
Copy.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
I created additional Monstars, keeping one in my hand while the rest hung from the sky like stctites in a cave.
Attack.
des rained down on the fleeing monroid.
Dzin, dzin, dzin
Dzin, dzin, dzin
There was no point in blocking them. I would continue summoning Monstars until I had obliterated and turned her into scrap metal.
Dzin, dzin, dzin
Doing so could never exhaust me faster than I could achieve a result anyway.
Dzin, dzin, dzin
But when would she be destroyed?
Dzin, dzin, dzin
There wasnt even the slightest indication she received at least a bit of damage.
What kind of monster is she?
Cutting all the des with her twin swords, she lunged at me.
I didnt run away.
Imend you for arrogantly deciding not to avoid confrontation. However, it is highly likely that you only did so simply because you know nothing about monroids.
So?
I find it deplorable, the way you thought I truly revealed your chances of winning. Perhaps you didnt even realize you were being mocked?
Piss off.
I decided to cut off all her limbs, leaving only her head and torso, which I would hang on my wall as decoration.
Lets see how youd act then.
[Source]
[Genesis]
Like Parmael, I increased my speed while slowing down the chattering android.
Naturally, the decelerated monroid began experiencing difficulties blocking the Monstars that fell on it like rain.
Soon, shed bepletely frozen and helpless.
Die.
I expected nothing more from your ineffective judgment.
Damn!
After making me think she had been slowed down for a brief moment, she then swiftly charged at me, leaving me defenseless against her iing strike.
I was going to cut off her limbs, but in the end, I was the one who lost mine instead.
My right arm just fell off.
I wasnt cautious enough.
Since she sliced my neck open earlier on, I kept my body covered withpressed dark matter, but even that didnt help.
This was beyond my understanding.
If youre curious, then Ill kindly exin. Monroids are coated with an alloy that blocks divine power. Moreover, we also emit unique radio waves that analyze your strength.
I didnt answer.
PSSS!
Something hindered the speed of my regeneration, but I found no need to fear it. My severed right hand still recovered anyway.
[Source]
[Genesis]
However, although I focused on elerating myself up, I still couldnt reach the speed I desired.
I wanted to increase it by at least 500 folds, but I only managed to do so five times.
Ive finished analyzing your divine power. Its attributes are time and space. You can also freely edit, save, replicate, and create anything and anyone from this dimension, but your creativity isughable.
Shut up already.
Pop!
I grabbed my newly summoned Monstar with my restored right arm.
Dzin, dzin, dzin
The monroid rushed at me recklessly, deflecting away every de that blocked her path, but I didnt forget one simple fact.
eleration.
She was a machine.
Unlike humans, she didnt lose concentration when performing multiple tasks at the same time.
Fshuh!
We collided.
I managed to stab her in the side, but I again lost my arm.
The difference in our skills was so tremendous I couldnt ovee it by sheer willpower. This made me feel like a toddler fighting against a swordmaster.
This is insane!
Compared to her, Boris was no more than a toy.
I nned to use the Demon Lords Tower as a cage where Id lock her in and prevent her from fleeing, but I ended up having to escape from it first.
There was nothing I could do about it. I was no match for her in closebat.
Hence, I had to create more distance between us.
It wont work.
Youre persistent!
But the monroid didntg behind. On the contrary, she even had enough leeway in her hands to try to make me surrender.
Give up. We monroids have stored information regarding 314,159,265,358,979 sword techniques of a certain sword god, allowing us to cope with 314,159,265,358,979 situations. In addition, we have a built-in automatic protection system against the Ignorant God of War that deflects an infinite number of des without any calctions.
Youre even sharing information. How nice of you.
A certain sword god?
The number she just uttered was too high for me to even attempt toprehend. Regardless, that made me realize it would be better not to fight with it with swords.
I couldnt believe such crucial information was beyond my awareness.
But why was she sharing information with me, though?
Nice? No. All the information I told you is readily avable for the public. Your ignorance regarding even such basic intel serves as proof that you are just a bumpkinpared to other gods.
A bumpkin
I remembered my cowardly wife, who studied abroad, calling me a redneck, but I didnt take it seriously.
That just made it a bit more shocking to hear it from a third party.
Resistance is futile. After your marriage and retirement, you have be weak. If you were at your peak, your chances of winning wouldve increased by 0.1%, but even then, it wouldnt be enough to change the oue of our battle.
Ha! Really?
Fshuh!
After leaving the Demon Lords Tower, I made my way into space, the monroid still pursuing me without wings or elerators.
At least this way, I could minimize the damages our sh would bring to Fantasy.
[Source]
[Genesis]
The monroid had analyzed me, but I wasnt just fooling around either.
Copy.
I couldnt defeat her in close quartersbat, but I was by no means weak.
I maintained 800,000 parallel dimensions, each consisting of a microcosm, which included a local Sun since it was necessary for the existence and sustainment of life.
Shrink.
When Ipressed space, the Sun I just copied shrank to the size of a bowling ball.
I decided to just call it Sun M to simplify it.
Copy.
The world lit up with the white light of its corona.
Sun Ms gravitational force caused by its astronomical mass and its ultra-high temperature of 1 million K swallowed the monroid.
Was that too much of an overkill?
It was as if Iunched a bunch of nuclear missiles at a swordmaster capable of deflecting bullets.
If I didnt iste us from Fantasy and its moons, they would have disappeared without a trace.
After that, I quickly turned everything back to normal.
[Genesis]
[Source]
Youre far too careless.
What?!
She crept silently from behind and sliced my body in half.
Careless?
It was no longer my fault at this point since this androids abilities just withstood the freaking Sun.
How was this possible?
I closely watched Sun M devour her entire being.
Yet she was okay?
More importantly
[Source]
[Genesis]
Having been cut in half by two monroid des, my body could no longer maintain its shape.
Copy.
It only took a few moments for my new vessel to be ready.
Fshuh!
Kh?!
However, immediately noticing it, the monroid overcame all obstacles and, flying up, pierced through my stomach with her de.
My head spun.
I see. Among your attributes is Legend, which prevents death from iming you even after sustaining mortal wounds. Minister Distoria should be punished for her negligence.
Thanks.
I was now convinced I wasnt capable of dying.
[Source]
[Genesis]
I performed the same operations I did on Sun M,pletely surrounded her, and made multiple suns explode all at once.
sh!
That stupid android should definitely be dead this time.
Exhausted, I fell onto an unnamed asteroid floating in space.
I have 10,736,390 ways to pressure your psyche in such a way that would make you listen to me.
From a distance, I heard that familiar beautiful yet disgusting voice again.
I squeezed the cold metal in my right hand again to confirm it.
It was a monroid part simr to that of humans 6th cervical vertebra. I ripped it out of her shortly before the explosions began.
It was weird.
The Monsoftpanys monradar tracks your location in real-time. You cannot hide from me.
Do I look like Im hiding?
It matters not how hard you deny it. The result of our battle will not change. Your chance of winning, ording to myplete analysis, is only 99.4%.
Dont lie.
I never lie.
I tossed the part I was holding at her.
I knew there was something strange about you, considering youre capable of remaining unscathed after being directly hit by an attack capable of destroying gxies.
Does that surprise you?
Youre just pretending to fight alone.
She didnt respond.
Theres also your full analysis.
I snapped my fingers.
Click!
Like a y changing the scene on the stage, everything around us plunged into darkness and, after a second, returned to its original state.
It seems youve seeded in the fusion of two opposing divine powers. By omitting Source and Genesis in that process, I was rendered unable to respond properly to it. I congratte you for that achievement.
Youre still acting like that?
Of course. This changes nothing.
Though she was showing off, all that remained of her was her head and torso. All of her limbs had disappeared.
I did it repeatedly.
Click!
Until I sat on a mountain of copied monroid limbs.
1 second.
That was all it took for me to create or erase any space.
[Light and Darkness]
Pure divine power.
Well, what now?
Youve made negligible improvements on your chances of winning, which is now 99.7%.
Unbelievable.
However, I must resolve one misunderstanding. Let me inform you of it through a different monroid.
It didnt matter how many of them there were.
I would destroy them all.
The monroid shut down like a household appliance.
But I could still hear her disgusting voiceing from all directions.
Monroid infiltrationpleted.
Combat data exchangepleted.
Program initializationpleted.
System optimizationpleted.
Preparation for autonomous controlpleted.
Troop formationpleted.
Beautiful women in red uniforms, wielding dual swords, upied the entirety of Fantasy.
Monroids.
There werent only thousands of them.
In my field of vision alone, they numbered in the tens of millions. And that was still rising.
Are you serious?
I underestimated the scale of the universe.
One of the monroids stepped forward.
Allow me to formally greet you. I am a brave Monian corporal of the 173rd Infantry Regiment, serving in a remote guard post. I would like to inform you that your current chances of winning are 0%.
My righteous heart began to beat faster.
Chapter 398 - [29th Round] In the Name of Friendship!
Chapter 398 - [29th Round] In the Name of Friendship!
???A certain god brings out popcorn.???
???A certain superstitious god is looking forward to whats going to happen.???
???A certain careless god is looking for a better ce to watch from.???
???A certain god is spreading a mat.???
Come on
Were they really enjoying my suffering while eating popcorn as if Im some sort of spectacle?
I wanted to chase all these onlookers away, but my current situation didnt permit me to be distracted.
This is too much.
I felt ashamed of my carefree attitude for only expecting only a few thousand androids.
Was the imagination of the Righteous GGG-ss Hero so weak?
Was this what universal scale meant?
Fret not. We will not touch Fantasy for as long as we havent dealt with you yet. Moreover, I guarantee the safety of your family, regardless of the oue of our battle.
How kind of you.
Why use sarcasm? Monsoft is not as sinister as you are.
Oh?
That was just outright sphemous.
There was no other god in this universe more just than I was.
Let me kindly remind you of your deeds. You killed Director Parmael, usurped ownership over Fantasy, and irresponsibly canceled our treaty.
I see.
As soon as I heard her exnation, I came to a realization.
This case was no different from my first round.
Depending on ones position and perspective, justice could be turned upside down.
The revolutionary army that joined forces with the Heros party was salvation for some, but it was an evil that divided the state for others.
As for me, there was a good reason for my actions.
I fought Parmael for my freedom and became President of the Fantasy Institution to save this world.
This was my justice.
Your way of thinking is the same as that of a selfish ancient god. Romantium is essential for the universes peace.
For the universes peace? Dont you expect too much from a bumpkin?\''
Im sorry, but thats the truth.
Begone.
Click!
There was indeed an outrageous number of monroids before me, but I possessed an almost inexhaustible divine power.
[Light and Darkness]
It was my turn to surprise the enemy.
In a second, I destroyed ranks upon ranks of monroids in my sights.
Many of them resisted, though. It seemed my new divine power had already been analyzed, allowing them to install a countermeasure into their program.
They were too versatile.
They optimized their system to adapt to the opponents fighting style and used it as casually as changing clothes.
Youre too arrogant.
We urge you to surrender.
Your chances of winning are 0%.
Youre nothing but a redneck.
Even though I destroyed hundreds of thousands of monroids in a mere second, their total number didnt seem to have decreased at all.
Click!
Moreover, my divine power destroyed fewer and fewer of them each time I used it.
This was proof that the longer I fought with them, the higher their resistance became since it was based on umted data.
Haha! Okay, lets have some fun!
But I wasnt going to lose.
They werent the only ones conducting analysis.
And my divine power was pretty universal.
[Light and Darkness]
If directly erasing them didnt work, I could use other means.
I utilized Sun M again, its gravitational pull and heat destroying millions of monroids who tried to chop me apart.
Right! What else
I interrupted my speech and summoned multiple Monstars.
Not tounch an attack.
Fire at will.
But for protection.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Rifles appeared in their hands, switching their dual swords out.
Guns in Fantasy!
They had absolutely no respect for this worlds genre at all!
And their atrocities didnt even end there!
Hardworking Monian Private reports the arrival of the 174th Infantry Regiment.
Faithful Monian Private reports the arrival of the 173rd Artillery Regiment.
Helpful Monian Private reports the arrival of the 173rd Air Defense Company.
Meticulous Monian Private reports the arrival of the 172nd Infantry Regiments engineering unit.
Reliable Monian Corporal reports the arrival of the 173rd Infantry Regiments shield battalion.
Employing modern warfare tactics, they diversified their troops.
Trying to keep up, I also used various strategies.
ckhole M, Sun M, deletion, Mnstar, time, space, ciers, tsunamis, dark matter
I even tried to copy monroids but failed because a high-level software firewall kept them protected.
That would be too easy anyway.
Instead, I used their torso as shields.
Hmm
This was starting to get boring, though, since I had to think for myself. After all, I didnt have a built-in supeputer in my head to do the calctions for me.
There was no other option left.
[Light and Darkness]
I didnt want to copy living beings, but the power of advanced science was too fraudulent. I couldnt refrain from it any longer.

My best friend, Noebius!
This jet ck dragon was the most powerful creature in all of both Fantasy and Festival.
I bestowed upon him the best possible skills and his body during his twilight years when presbyopia was his only weakness.
In doing so, he regained all of his memories.
How the First Angel Parmael caught and tamed him, how Fugitive Senior kidnapped the real Erdanti, and how, with my help, he fell into a blissful sleep for 2,000 years.
However, he still had the final say in this.
Graaahh.
Looking at the battlefield with dull eyes, he immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate.
Thank you, my friend!
It was time to show our wonderful friendship that hadsted since my 2nd round!
Now that I had his consent, I did it again, freely and without hesitation this time.
[Light and Darkness]
In the blink of an eye, I created an army of 200,000 Noebius.
Graaaaaaahh!
Grrrraaaaaaaaahhhh!
Grrrraaaaaaaahhhh!
In the name of friendship!
Our battle had now begun!
*****
Why Noebius?
He was the only friend I trusted, and he was the best option ording to the cost-effectiveness metric.
Skills didnt stack.
If, for example, a muscr man and a slender woman fought each other, having the same level, skills, and ZZZ-rank power. In the case of yable characters, this would be the form:
Male: 3 + 200,000 = 200,003
Female: 2 + 200,000 = 200,002
The woman,cking excessive muscles, would have an advantage due to her flexibility.
But the reality was different.
Male: 3 * 200,000 = 600,000
Female: 2 * 200,000 = 400,000
This form was applicable not only to gender but also to race, weight, physique, intelligence, spine, and pelvis.
In other words, to maximize the effectiveness of the skills I bestowed them with, the value of the creature that would use it had to be inherently high.
Grrrrraaaaaaaahhh!
Our line of defense has been broken. Reinforcements required.
Grrrraaaaaaaaaaaaahh!
We must immediately change tactics.
Grraaaaaaaaahhhh!
Death and destruction.
Monroids were supeputers that analyzed enemy thinking and characteristics, allowing them to adjust ordingly.
But my best friend Noebius sessfully resisted it.
My friend! Thanks to you, I survived!
Save Erdanti. Please.
I promise, I replied seriously to the request of the only Noebius who retained his humanoid form.
He served as themander-in-chief of the army of 3 million Noebius.
Thanks to his advice regarding their skills, our numbers grew from 200,000 to 3,000,000! That was 15 times the original size!
? Race: Chaos Dragon
? Level: 3000
? Job: Warrior (War Endurance )
? Skills: Dragon Scale GGG, Size GGG, Kings Wrath GGG, Annihtion GGG, Breath GGG
? Status: Union, Resonance, Coexistence
I eliminated all excess or ineffective variables in their stats.
By no means did that mean my forces had weakened. On the contrary, doing so allowed me to create more Noebius.
Of course
Grrrrraaaahhh?!
Grrraah?!
That didnt ascertain my victory either.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I had no proper countermeasures against the bombardments that asionally came from beyond the walls of Fantasy.
The only drawback of my divine power was that I was omnipotent only within this dimension.
We cant keep fighting like this forever, little friend. Keep in mind that it would be disastrous if one of those shells hits the.
I know.
Each artillery strike theyunched contained enough power to kill thousands of Noebius in one hit.
If it were to actually crash on Fantasysnds, its ordinary inhabitants would simply be erased along with their souls.
That aside
???A certain divine messenger wants a truce.???
???A certain divine messenger raises a white g.???
???A certain divine messenger calls for a truce.???
???A certain divine messenger asks you to retreat.???
Was Disco still alive?
I thought she ended up bing coteral damage upon being caught up in the battle between me and the monroid.
Anyway, Monsofts demands were clear.
Romantium, a metal I never once came across despite wandering around Fantasy for 200 years
Stop.
I touched that stupid metal several times.
Did something importante to mind, little friend?
Yes. I have one crazy request, Noebius.
Im listening.
I urgently need to go to Fantasy. I need you to protect my body from snipers and bombardments while Im gone.
That is indeed crazy. Protecting you from snipers is possible, but doing the same against artillery strikes will prove difficult.
Hmm
But I had to do this before it was toote.
Why dont you buy time by negotiating a truce?
Oh! Thats right!
I immediately got down to business.
[Demon Realm]
I summoned my cowardly wife, who took refuge in the Demon Realm.
Pop!
Are you okay, handsome husband?!
Well. It seems our opponents want to negotiate for a truce, and I need you to participate in it. However, dont agree with any of their terms. Just buy me some time until I get back.
Hmm? Buy you some time?
Yes, please.
Hey! Wait!
I immediately shifted my focus without listening to Ssosias answer.
To remain undetected by the monroids, I had to avoid using my divine power. Hence, I decided to use a puppet already in the Fantasy world.
There was only one such option for me.
Ah!
Ah! Oh! Oh!
I love you! Aaah!
I love you too!
The 50th floor of the Demon Lords Tower was perfectly soundproofed and shielded from the outside world.
Exploiting those features, a couple intertwined with each other in a fit of passion.
it pissed me off a little.
While I was out there fighting for Fantasys peace and freedom, my clone was doing what I should be the one doing.
Kang Han Soo of Earth.
I quickly synchronized with my younger version.
Kaisa.
Yes? Go on.
Kaisa.
Yes, I am Kaisa. Kang Han Soos only woman.
Thank you very much.
Hmm? The Demon Lords Tower isnt an ideal honeymoon destination, but it doesnt matter. Im already happy just being here with you. Thats why theres really no need to thank me Aaahhnn?!
Ha-ah!
I decided to protect Fantasys freedom and peace tomorrow instead!
Today, the Hero would take a day off!
Chapter 399 - [29th Round] Please Go Away…
Chapter 399 - [29th Round] Please Go Away
I summarized the situation in my head.
I was fighting aliens in need of Romantium, a metal that was naturally generated on Fantasy.
That was the problem.
I risked my spine to protect it despite not even knowing where it was.
That was just stupid!
So I decided to find it.
You surprised me, Han Soo. You were more aggressive than usual.
What Ah!
I tricked the monroids by syncing with Kang Han Soo, but it also affected my rtionship with Kaisa.
Sword Princess.
That was what I called her before.
Butst nights integration changed me a bit.
Lets go down from the tower.
Weird. A hero who went further alone should have already seeded or lost, after which the end of the world should havee Thats why I was more assertive than usual. Kaisa blushed.
She wanted to enjoy every second with me Ahem. Anyway, it was amazing.
Something most likely went wrong with the Heros n.
After that, Kaisa and I left the bedroom.
The 50th floor of the Demon Lords Tower was a resting ceplete with all the necessary amenities, thus allowing the Hero and hispanions, who had passed the halfway mark, to rest in peace.
cksmiths, shops, hot springs, training grounds, restaurants, libraries
All services were free, and friendly demons handled each establishments maintenance and management.
Can I cook something for you? Asked Innkeeper D, looking at us.
Yes. Ill have what the chef rmends. What about you, Kaisa?
Ill have the same.
Kang Han Soo usually ate only meals that were effective at replenishing the energy he expended, and Chef D, who knew this well, served bowls of rice and eel.
We had breakfast in awkward silence. It wasnt because we were being distant from each other but because this ce was deserted.
We were the only ones upying this spacious dining room!
Its really tasty.
Yeah.
It definitely was delicious.
Chef D had Cooking Z and Taste Z, so it would be weirder if the food werent this good.
But the supply and demand here werent bnced.
The towers challengers being served so well was definitely great, but it was a waste of resources.
Id have to fix thister.
No one will take away your food, so go up to your room and eat calmly, Snow Woman.
But Alex, every delicacy in this city is amazing!
The rice you cook is also yummy, but there are so many dishes here that I havent tried yet.
Okay! So be it. Ahem!
Alex and Snow Woman entered the inn with a bunch of food.
They seemed to be having a good time.
I had known Alexs restrained tastes since my first round, but Snow Woman was a glutton with a bottomless stomach.
You should visit other restaurants as well, owner! There is lots of delicious food there! The Snow Woman shouted enthusiastically, pping her wings.
I was so busy with Kaisas pelvis all night long that I didnt have time to go anywhere.
Calm down. Youre going to make your feathers fly in all directions.
Since she was a mutant harpy, she maintained her slender body no matter how much she ate.
That eliminated any need for her to count calories.
Oh I envy her. Kaisa, hugging my left arm, looked at the Snow Woman with an envious nce.
Well, I could understand her. The dishes served here were magnificent.
Are you leaving today, Kang Han Soo? Alex asked, wiping sauce off the Snow Womans lips.
How did you know?
With a serious tone, he replied, Because a certain Hero I knew in the past used to have the same expression you have now whenever hes pursuing a goal.
Is that so.
Right. He knew Demon Lord Parmamon and Kang Han Soo were one and the same.
However, Kang Han Soos wife was present here, so we didnt talk about it openly.
He was quite astute!
He did live for over 2,000 years, though, so this was only natural.
It is. Im nning to descend today and go on our honeymoon, which we postponed since we needed to help the Hero.
Whats with the rush?
We dont know when this world will disappear.
Ah Im sorry. It was a stupid question.
Sitting at an empty table nearby, Alex suddenly began to talk about his ns even though I didnt even ask.
He decided to wait for about two weeks on this floor, and if the world still hadnt copsed, he would go to meet his old colleagues
So your memories are back?
What gotten into me? It just happened.
Really
I looked at Kaisa again.
Still looking at Alexs wife with envy, she trembled and hugged herself.
The Snow Woman, on the other hand, still had that stupid chicken head look on her face as expected.
Calm down, Kaisa.
When the parallel worlds of Fantasy merged, the memories of the locals alsobined into one.
The worlds just fused together, and my memories did too, Alex said, almost as if reading my mind.
How did you figure it out?
Knowledge flooded over me like the legends written in books. Hmm. Theres even information about you. You were a Hero from a world called Earth, and you didnt like me much.
Ahem!
Based on his exnations, ones memories seemed to have beenpressed andbined in vague forms, simr to how one remembered dreams.
Reactions to this phenomenon seemed to vary from person to person.
Demon Kaisa murmured, looking into my eyes.
That was what she called me in thest seconds of her life in the first round.
Was this karma?
Whenever the protagonists of fantasy novels traveled back in time, they carelessly cast aside their former lives without worrying about the consequences.
They would exploit womens personal information, which they didnt even dare touch in their past life, to marry them. They would even steal the talents and futures their rivals previously possessed to make a fool out of them.
I wasnt like them.
Yes, Kang Han Soo, when he first encountered the world of Fantasy, was a demon. I will never regret destroying my party then, Kaisa Kureil, regardless of how you perceive it.
Kaisa.
Oh? Well, yes. You are Kaisa Kureil, Duke Kureils only daughter.
Thats not what I mean. You called me by name.
I couldnt understand her.
How did it feel to have memories from multiple parallel worlds merge together inside one body?
Now that I had be a god, I could recreate this process if I wanted to, but I wouldnt deliberately step on andmine. Witnessing it as a third party was enough for me.
Han Soo
If you have anyints against me, speak up.
You are the ideal man that I had dreamed of since childhood.
I didnt expect such a serious conversation to lead to a confession.
Of course. You never did understand my true feelings back then, after all.
I nced to the side.
Alex and the dumb chicken head watched us with excitement.
All I got from that was that I shouldnt expect help from them.
Kaisa continued.
When I first met you, I felt like I just found the legendary demonic dragon, who was also incredibly beautiful. I loved that you didnt run after the skirts of the best beauties in the world and only strictly followed your goals, but when I asked you out on a date, you brushed it off.
Wait a minute. When?
Dont y dumb. We were at the Leiper vige of the Eastern Continent. I reached out to you at dawn while you, bare-chested and sweating, were training in the backyard of a two-story, blue-roofed inn
What?
I didnt remember anything like that.
Lets meet at the cemetery and go out for lunch together.
Ah! I remember now! You wanted to lure me into the cemetery and bury me there
The funeral of the vige vignte who died in a fight with you the day before was being held there. My colleagues and I even attended it. What made you think I wanted to bury you?
Look, Kaisa. I didnt know about that part about the funeral at all.
That was an invitation to a date I have been looking for opportunities for two years and hardly mustered up enough courage. I was so shy that I wanted to do it at dawn when all my colleagues were asleep, but Lanuvel was always awake around that time. Two yearster, I finally found the chance Ive been waiting for. Didnt you know about that?
No. I didnt know at all.
Looking back now, I admit I was very pathetic, but I really tried to get along with you. But you, without any hesitation, dismissed me with an expression that made me feel like you hated me
She seemed to have umted a lot of grievances.
All this time
???A certain innocent goddess blushes at the story.???
???A certain innocent goddess scolds a certain righteous divine being for being stubborn.???
???A certain innocent goddess demands that he apologize immediately.???
When did she show up?
???A certain righteous divine being wants her to be quiet.???
???A certain innocent goddess insists on her demand.???
???A certain righteous divine being wants her to be quiet first.???
???A certain innocent goddess nods.???
Even if one gagged her, these alerts wouldnt stop
I would have problems if I didnt do what she wanted.
Sorry, Kaisa! I was wrong!
I dont believe you.
What can I do to make you believe?
Embrace me.
We do that every day.
Haaa You are so handsome and amazing that my heart flutters every time I look at you, but sometimes, you justpletely forget how to read the atmosphere at all.
???A certain innocent goddess reproaches a certain righteous divine being.???
Someone take this goddess away from me
The notifications were distracting me way too much.
???A certain kind goddess pulls out a candy.???
???A certain innocent goddess is filled with joy.???
???A certain innocent goddess rushes towards it.???
Seriously?
The Innocent Goddess was distracted by candy?
What kind of gods were they?
Be that as it may, thanks to Morality Teacher, I survived this crisis.
I hugged Kaisa, who was trembling as if in fear of something.
A quiet whisper entered my ears.
Youre real and wont disappear, right, Han Soo?
Yes.
That made me immediately realize what she was so afraid of.
Constant regressions
I knew how it felt to have ones entire life crossed out and redrawn. I went through such an experience myself, after all.
That feeling of emptiness, of loss.
And she was going through something way worse than I did.
My head right now Its filled with my memories of Heroes who became my husbands It suffocates me, Han Soo. It hurts. I became the wife of whoever won some tournament and sometimes gave birth to their children. I cant even begin to imagine how many men touched my body
Calm down, Kaisa. I will still love you.
Whimper
She buried her face in my shoulder and sobbed.
Thanks to her, I was convinced.
The Fantasy Institution.
It wasnt a mistake to close this ce that served as a haven for social outcasts.
???A certain innocent goddess grins.???
???A certain kind goddess is confused.???
Please leave
***
Green Cake and the Guardian entered the inns dining area soon after.
It was frustrating to see Lanuvels daughter flirting with him, but now was not the time for me to think about it.
How are you, Green Cake?
Im sorry, father. It seems itll take some time for me to fully internalize my jumbled memories.
He lookedpletely in disarray.
Your son is currently trying to integrate all the experience hes umted to achieve enlightenment, father. You shouldnt bother him now.
Who do you think you are?
I am Gal Seoyeon, daughter of the Heavenly Demon.
Thats not what I mean. Stop pretending to be my daughter-inw.
Hohoho! I will take care of Green Cake, father. You dont have to worry about him while you proceed with your journey.
Bitch! You bother me the most!
But I couldnt do anything about it right now.
Kaisa needed to get fresh air to recover, and I couldnt put it off any longer. I could be discovered at any time.
It was time to move out.
???A certain innocent goddess promises she wont tell anyone.???
Oh
This was really going to drive me crazy.
Chapter 400 - [29th Round] Companions
Chapter 400 - [29th Round] Companions
Do you have a ce in mind for our honeymoon, Han Soo?
Our home is located on the Northern Continent, so it would be logical to go somewhere farther like the Southern Continent.
Oh! Alright.
The Demon Lords Tower was located in the southern part of the Central Continent, so we werent that far from it either.
Of course, there was no need to tell her that I had business there.
Kaisa recovered much faster than I expected.
Are you okay?
Yes. Thanks to you.
Im d.
The Sword Princess I knew was a woman with an unpredictable personality, but now she acted like a wise woman who had gone through countless experiences both before and after giving birth.
It had to have been tough.
If I added up the span of their lives in parallel worlds, it would easily exceed tens of millions of years.
That made me curious about how the others reacted to it.
Are you okay, Han Soo?
Hmmm? Yes, I am. It seems my memories are in disarray as well.
My cowardly wife also divided Kang Han Soo into many worlds for a short while.
But it didnt affect me all that much. It was just like having a pebble thrown into the ocean.
What are you thinking about? Did millions of women sh in your memory?
No.
You sound uncertain.
Ahem! Well, I crossed paths with some while traveling alone.
???A certain innocent goddess expresses her hate for harems.???
No, I didnt have a harem. I was just acting upon apletely normal mammalian instinct.
Hmmm~
But I now understand how you feel a little better.
It was simr to how major and serious events often turned into long-standing memories and how minor ones were easily forgotten. It could also be likened to how unusual experiences were remembered separately, while those recurring or mundane merged into one.
Kang Han Soo was such an example.
Upon being summoned to the Dumplings Kingdom on the Central Continent, he wandered through the world of Fantasy, eventually staying at the Kureil Estate on the Northern Continent.
Really?
Yes. My journey ends with me visiting a certaindy from a noble family to marry her.
I know. You and your handsome face didnt even go through the tournament properly because of your amazing smile.
Well
Not always.
Due to some variables, there were quite a few cases where the future turned outpletely different.
One of them was Hero Sieg.
There was a time when he spread strange rumors about me being the Demon Lord because of the bad blood between us.
Events caused by such individual differences branched off in simr ways, remaining in ones consciousness in the form of a parallel structure to the rest of the memories, which were remembered sequentially.
Im worried about Green Cake. Hes been with the Heroes since the first days.
Only Green Cake?
The Holy Empire, which had been summoning Heroes from the 5th curriculum, was probably inplete disarray at the moment.
Every inhabitant of it, from its noble emperor to its lowest ve, was somehow connected with the Hero.
I didnt know how it would end unless I checked it myself.
Well, lets move out.
Kang Han Soo didnt own Monfors, but its creator, Connoisseur Shakespeare of the Western Continent, would probably understand if he underwent the same phenomenon.
Using satellites was outside the fantasy genre, but he had to be aware of the situation around the world of Fantasy.
Coming out of the Demon Lords Tower, I waved my hand towards the sky.
Hey! Look at me!
What are you doing?
Hmm. It looks like Shakespeare is still processing all of his thoughts, much like my son.
He used the monphonework to preserve important memories even after his return.
But he probably had a chaotic mess in his head right now.
All I could hope for was that he wouldnt go crazy.
We most likely wont be able to use the aircraft, Han Soo. What should we do?
Lets fly.
Fshuh!
I couldnt use divine power to constrict space. The Righteous Heros Wings would have to suffice.
My current ones were an outdated version, though.
These still had the early design I came up with while fighting Boris and his harem over the Pacific Ocean on my home.
Compared to the flight speed of thetest model, my current wings were clearly worse. It was likeparing the speed of a tractor to a sports car.
Every time I look at your wings, my heart starts to beat faster.
It was an exciting night.
We ascended to the skies and, feeling the cool night breeze on our skin, intertwined in a fit of passion.
Sex in heaven.
Perhaps angels or demons were doing this.
Making this journey with you makes me forget my sad past.
Im d.
The Righteous G-ss newlyweds set off for the Southern Continent!
*****
As I expected, the degree of chaos in the integrated world of Fantasy was determined by the frequency of the Heroes visits and preferences per area.
The Central Continent, the starting point, suffered the most.
However, the Elf Empire, friendly to humans and Heroes, was also undergoing difficult times.
Prince Nasus.
He was an importantpanion, appearing regrly in numerous guides posted in the monphonemunity.
I decided to visit him along the way.
The prince is not in a position to receive guests, said Aries, his right hand and bodyguard. She sounded sorrowful.
Is he not well?
Something like that. However, the Hero hase this far. Is there anything I can do to help you in his stead?
No. Its okay.
Female Heroes were always eager to get Prince Nasus into their party due to his rather muscr body, which was far from his races ordinary physique.
Their kind had a gentle disposition, which wasnt practical for Fantasys native female humans, who didnt like slender elven men.
They preferred robust human males that could be used as reliable shields.
Prince Nasus seems to be in bad shape too, Kaisa said.
Theres nothing we can do about it.
The only ones who liked male elves were the Female Heroes who grew up in a peaceful, monsterless world.
I can at least arrange a meeting for you with Princess Sylvia. Shes not all that interested in married men, however, so she might refuse you.
You dont seem to be in that good of a shape either, Aries.
Memories about Heroes taking away the one I love are messing with my head Its unpleasant. There are other bad memories mixed among them as well.
Is that so.
Aries was a human-elf hybrid who inherited only the strengths of the two races.
Essentially, she was an elf withrge breasts.
She was her kinds iteration that men fantasized about.
I was a little surprised, though.
Sylvia was also a poprpanion and lover among male Heroes.
Was she really okay?
What?! Youre that demonic Hero!
Turning around to leave the pce, Sylvia found us.
She looked pretty cheerful.
Judging by the fact that this t-chested elf called me a demonic Hero, she, too, had her memories return to her like Kaisa.
Are you alright?
It was amazing.
Elf Princess Sylvia.
Future Queen of the Elves.
Prior to the 4th curriculum, she was obsessed with her kinds superiority, but during the 5th curriculum, she worked tirelessly to marry a male Hero.
Shouldnt her condition be worse than Nasus?
I have seduced and dated more men than any other elf in the world of Fantasy.
Wow
Again, individual differences.
She spoke like a mercenary, proud of every scar she received from monsters.
Hmph! Even Aries was less popr with the Heroes than I was. That serves as proof that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty!
I didnt answer, but Sylvia, looking down on the human-elf hybrid, was wrong.
If she had also been diligently trying to get herself a boyfriend, she would have easily surpassed her even though Sylvia looked pretty good when she kept her mouth shut.
I wouldve dealt with past grievances now that weve met again, but since Kaisa looks happy with you, Ill be patient. Be grateful.
Ha
She regained her sassy personality.
In the past, that was caused by her ideology that her race was superior, but now it was caused by her arrogance about her being the most beautiful woman in Fantasy.
Some things never changed.
Are you married now, Kaisa?
Yes.
Well Congrattions. Your wish came true in the end, it seems. I remember many of your versions, but I have never seen you smile like you do now next to a man.
Thank you.
Once Ive also gotten married in the future, Ill visit you in the Northern Continent Thats where youll be settling down, right?
We havent decided yet.
Let me know when you decide.
Sure. Good luck, Sylvia.
Having been in the same unit for quite a long time, the two chatted for a bit before saying goodbye.
Was Sylvia an exception, or were there others like her?
I again flew into the sky, holding my wife in my arms, and headed south.
Do you have a specific ce in mind, Han Soo?
Hmmm. Since were already here anyway, lets check up on the other nearby dummies.
Are you talking about thepanions?
Your attitude towards them hasnt changed yet?
Little has changed.
For example, Alex, when he got married, stopped being as cruel as before.
It wasnt that I shifted my attitude towards him. Rather, it was his lifestyle that became different.
Now that I remember all the different Heroes, I think I understand why you fought against yourpanions constantly.
What reason do you think I had?
Priorities.
In terms of?
You always think about the situation as a whole and not only about one of the persons involved. In the case of a certain political marriage, we tried to protect the princess who escaped because she didnt want to marry a man she didnt love. However, you tried to get her back as soon as possible to avoid the conflict between their countries and families from escting.
Of course. She considered herself the unhappiest person in the world, but she didnt even think of all the people who wouldve directly or indirectly suffered due to her selfishness.
Oh
What?
Nothing. Who are you going to visit first, Han Soo?
The Saintess.
She grew up in the Southern Continents harsh conditions, and she tended to understand your way of thinking.
No. Im going to meet the Saintess who recently reced her.
Hearing this, Kaisa looked at me with suspicion.
How do you know that elven Saintess?
well, weve crossed paths.
I had painful memories of her tricking me with her fake breasts.
Isnt her name Illeana? Did you sleep with her?
My memories of her are vague.
I didnt want to dwell on the past since I am not any better myself, but the future still worries me.
I thought only my cowardly wife had such a trait, but it seemed Kaisa was also very jealous and hungry for monopoly.
In novels, the women of the protagonists got along so well they treated each other like sisters, but if in reality, they wouldnt be able to avoid poison and murder if they were put near each other.
I owe her mother a small debt
Mother-inw?
No! She was apanion.
She had long since reunited with her husband in Festival, though, allowing her to find her happiness and forget about her daughter.
Is that so? She was apanion of my husband, who hatespanions?
After leaving the Elf Empire, we arrived at a temple in the center of the Giant Empire.
Temple of the Great Child.
The dimensions of this temple were beyondmon sense, as one would expect from giants.
Since only Heroes could enter this sacred ce without permission, it was quiet inside.
Kaisa and I went straight to the prayer room, where the Saintess could always be found.
Did she even go to the toilet?
I turned to the woman kneeling in front of the golden statue of Captain Fantasy.
Sorry. Hero A, who is on his honeymoon, wants to discuss something with the Saintess.
Yes, I am a Saintess. What did you want to talk about?
The woman turned around.
You?
Instead of an elf with fake breasts, a beautiful female angel greeted me.
I already met her before.
Do you know me?
Why are you here, Umamiel?
Kaisa stared at me for an exnation, but I found myself unable to provide one at the moment.
How did this happen?
I didnt think anyone knew my real name. Im sorry, but I dont know where my predecessor went.
Tsk!
This was a serious problem.
That elven thief disappeared along with the romantium.
Chapter 401 - [30th Round] Path of The Shining Hero
Chapter 401 - [30th Round] Path of The Shining Hero
Whats going on, Han Soo?
Deciding not to rush, I calmly answered Kaisas question.
Im sure you already know this, but its not just everyones memories that merged together. The resources that make up this world also did.
Correct me if Im wrong, but from what Ive gathered, it seems the missing Saintess stole something important to you.
Not just to me. That resource might be the key to saving Fantasy.
What is it then?
Im sorry.
???A certain innocent goddess is curious.???
I couldnt exin anything in detail because of this innocent onlooker.
Unlike memories, which had no physical forms, concrete objects didnt ovep upon the convergence of parallel worlds.
As for the romantium, it had been produced in a parallel structure using alternate dimensions from the beginning.
After all, due to its small output, itd take too long to umte them unless such a system was employed.
I apologize for the rude interruption, Hero, but can you leave the prayer room now? I have to return to my mission of praying to the reverent-hearted Great Child
Umamiel issued a congrattory order.
I wasnt certain why this angel was pretending to be a Saintess here, but I knew what she was praying for.
You want to meet him, dont you?
Yes. As you said, I am no longer capable of happiness without his love. She replied, her expression far from how someone in her position should look like.
She clutched her supreme breasts, which her predecessors did not have, to show how desperate she was.
Would Captain Fantasy be okay with this?
I offered a deal.
If you cooperate with me properly, Ill let you meet him.
Hohoho! No matter how corrupted I be, Im not naive enough to be deceived by such tant lies.
I dont know what pseudonym youre using right now, but I shouldnt need to remind you that I know your real name. Do you think actual scammers would know something as private as that?
Let me ask you a question. What do you know of my recent past?
Munch munch munch munch munch munch.
Thank you for answering me with realistic onomatopoeia Ahhh?! Just imagining him chewing makes my body!
This was why I kept telling Captain Fantasy not to eat junk food.
The disheveled angel copsed, her body twisting and turning as her expression grew more and more ecstatic and pleased.
I apologize for behaving in a way that disgraces the holiness of Saintesses, but I have no control over this force majeure
I didnt do anything.
Is that so? Oh! Ill cooperate with you, Hero. Youre looking for my predecessor, right?
Yes. Before Illeana left, did she mention anything about where shes going or if shes going to meet someone?
Im curious about how the baby is doing, but Ill answer your question first. As a sinner, Goddess Fantasy acknowledged my presence and reinstated me, but with my body in this state, I had no choice but to recuperate first.
Just get to the point No, keep going.
Umamiel told stories that were nearly no different fromints.
On the day the worlds merged, my colleague grew so busy she could no longer take care of me. Hence, she rmended praying in the Great Child Temple.
How did you be a Saintess?
Thats because Im perfect for this position. Illeanacked the love I have for the cute baby.
You stole her job!
It seemed the reason Illeana disappeared was this chicken head all along.
Thats not true! Even though I have fallen beyond salvation, Im still the Second Angel! I would never do something as shameless as stealing someone elses rice bowl!
What are you talking about? Youre the third Huh? It changed for the second time.
You really know everything. Thats right. Bananael was Parmaels eldest son and the Second Angel. However, with her death, his legitimacy became meaningless. On the other hand, I was recognized as her daughter by fulfilling the role that Hippolia yed in the past.
I see
That dramatic change in her life banished Bananael, her elder brother.
The lives of a second and third cer werepletely different. The second curse allowed one to enjoy the second greatest wealth and honor. On the other hand, the third gained nothing but an imaginary gambit.
Since you understand, itll be easier for me to exin. I came to this prayer room to worship the Great Child, but then Saintess Illeana bestowed her position to me.
So youre the culprit after all!
Like I said, that isnt true! I didnt harm her at all. She simply stepped down of her own volition after admiring the strength of my faith.
Thats because of the second curse!
My jealous wife often abused it.
However, what if the Second Demon and the Second Angel were to meet? Who would im second ce then?
That nonsensical question caused my desire to experiment to slowly resurface, but now wasnt the time to do such trivial research.
The concept of the second curse is still unfamiliar to me, so I couldnt think that far.
Having been frequently victimized by my cowardly wife, I shouldve expected this situation would ur.
The Saintess, a position second only to God.
When Captain Fantasy was hailed as a deity, the Saintess who preached hispassion to his worshippers was Illeana.
However, Umamiel executed a deed thatplicated things.
All I did was confess that my body can no longer live without him and that it bes ever so harder to control the longer Im apart from him.
Those words are clearly easy to misunderstand and misinterpret.
Having been inaugurated as the Saintess of the Southern Continents Great Child religion, she probably learned everything there was to know about it through Ssosia.
It was a religion that worshipped a baby that resembled me when I was a child.
Greatly discouraged by my troubles, Illeana handed over her position to me.
I guess so.
The second curse could be exploited in many ways.
In particr, it specialized in usurping apetitors ce and reputation.
Wife, vice president, 2nd ce
Umamiel, in Illeanas eyes, would have been the second most beautiful woman in the world.
She also wouldve mistaken her for my wife, even though it didnt make sense since, gically speaking, she was closer to being my daughter.
Anyway, thats what happened. I kept my promise, so let me meet the Great Child.
Youve caused an ident, and youre still shamelessly spouting nonsense like that! Help me find Illeana. Only then will I give you a chance to meet him.
Is it because of the second curse? This is unfair, but I have no other choice. Ill help you. Im indirectly responsible for this anyway.
So, any clues?
She said shes going on a journey to find the one she loves.
Is that so
Illeana probably came up with such an objective since she was unrighteously cut off from her position by a cowardly angel.
She didnt seem to have mentioned anyone in particr, but if there were someone she truly loved, it would be her family.
Are we going back to the Elf Empire, Han Soo?
Im sorry, Kaisa. Our honeymoons going to have to take a little detour.
Its okay. Just witnessing you remaining loyal and unwavering even in the presence of a beautiful Saintess is enough to satisfy me.
Hahaha
No matter how much she looked like my cowardly wife, she was still my daughter.
So were going on an adventure to find the missing Saintess, huh?
Adventure? I dont think that would be necessary. Illeanas probably in the Elf Empire.
Are you sure?
Why wouldnt I be?
My intuitions telling me she might not be there.
Well Well find out when we get there. As for you, Umamiel, I need you to stay here and remain on standby. If Illeana returns, subdue her.
Okay.
Kaisa and I returned to the Elf Empire.
*****
I was a little toote.
Illeana indeed stayed in the Elf Empire for a while, but she had already left by the time we got back.
I wouldve noticed it earlier when I met Aries, but I didnt think it was important at the time since I expected her to be at the temple.
I decided to meet the Fake Elf King.
Thats a bit
Aries, bearing a key position in this nation, immediately expressed her disapproval.
This disappoints me. Is it really too much to ask for despite our bond?
Thats not it Lend me your ears for a moment.
She approached me, a married man, without hesitation and whispered softly.
Kaisa looked ufortable, but this woman didnt seem to care, a trait of hers that remained unchanged to this day.
That was also where the t-chested Sylvia was greatly mistaken.
Despite being calm and meek, Aries actually had immense confidence because of her ample breasts!
She had a lot of experience in marriage since her weak elf husbands kept dying. Now that she had a high position, great beauty, and Prince Nasus as her husband, she remained modest, but she was a very free-spirited mixed-race elf back in the 4th curriculum.
Out with it.
It hasnt been disclosed yet, but Elf King Elfheim is already dead. Thats why he cant meet with you.
I see.
I ordered Acting Teacher to y Elfheim, who was battling a disease, but now that Fantasy had be one again, her mission naturally ended as well.
Elf King Elfheim.
I didnt want to admit it, but that pathetic guy was the spiritual leader of his race.
His death being disclosed to the public while their citizens were still recovering from the agglomeration of their fragmented memories would cause immeasurable chaos, especially regarding politics.
The queen was determined tomit suicide rather than remarry, and the prince moved to the Central Continent, establishing his own nation there to build up enough military strength to defeat us inbat. Princess Sylvia, currently obsessed with male humans, has no intention of giving birth to noble lineage, and Prince Nasus, our only hope, is also in disarray
You mustve had a hard time.
Such was the weakness of their race and government, both of which had been relying on an ageless iron ruler for far too long.
Just because he never grew old didnt mean he was immortal. Moreover, one could never truly predict when an individual would have a change of heart.
There were countless historical events of rulers turning into tyrants.
In that respect, Elfheim was indeed consistent.
His death could be considered the gravest news for their kind.
Saintess Illeana left as soon as she heard about His Majestys demise.
Do you know where shes going, by any chance?
Unfortunately, I didnt have much time to talk to her. Oh! Prince Nasus might know. She went to his room to treat him when she visited, and she stayed there for quite a long time.
Hmm.
Gically speaking, Illeana was Prince Nasuss aunt.
Upon reaching 2,000 years old, elves would start treating their parents as friends, finally abandoning their genealogy, but they wouldntpletely ignore it.
What did those two talk about?
Let me at least meet him myself.
Sure, but I have a condition. You must do so alone. Please wait for me in the reception room outside his bedroom.
Is it because
Yes, it is.
Oh, my
Because of what the female Heroes did to him, he grew ill, but more than that, he grew fearful of women.
Such were the woes of famous men.
???A certain innocent goddess is amazed. ???
Hmm! Lets hurry up and go.
This annoying goddess was still watching me.
Follow me.
Arent you busy?
Dont worry. Im not in a state where I can meet anyone, so my schedule is empty.
Okay
The fusion of all memories was an unavoidable pain Fantasys inhabitants had to go through to attain freedom and peace of mind.
I could ease their agony through memory maniption, which would prove beneficial to me as well since I could use it to turn those who refused to listen to me or were difficult to manage into ignorant pets.
However, the moment I chose that method, there would be no turning back anymore.
Could they even be called free if their minds had been tampered with?
Could I look at them while they were smiling like idiots and proudly shout, Im justice!
You look like you have a lot on your mind, Han Soo.
Im okay.
A Hero who didnt worry about the future wasnt a Hero at all.
Hes going to lose all his hair at this rate. As his wife, Im a little worried.
Brilliant light shone on the path of the True Hero.
Chapter 402 - [30th Round] Finding the Saint
Chapter 402 - [30th Round] Finding the Saint
Nasus, are you alive?
Yes. However, although I shouldnt say this to outsiders, Im not okay at all.
Prince Nasus was lying on his bed, looking critically ill.
The strangest part of it was that not even one attendant of his was female.
Please review this document, Prince.
This is no time to work, Prince. I insist you focus on finding yourself a good wife.
Shall I prepare tea, Prince?
The people have submitted a petition. What would your verdict be, Prince?
Prince.
I kept hearing prince all over the ce.
Some of the people in his room were doctors and servants taking care of him, but the overwhelming majority were officials who kept delivering more work to him.
There was nothing I could do.
Someone had to run the state affairs in Elf King Elfheims stead.
Prince.
Prince.
Prince.
Regardless, wasnt this a bit too much hard work for a recuperating patient?
This looked no different from abuse in my eyes.
They werent just bringing matters to him for final revisions, reviews, or confirmation. Rather, they hung on to him like children who couldnt do anything without their parents.
His name kept echoing from all over the ce.
Prince Nasus.
Having been ruled by the now-deceased Elf King for what seemed like forever, this country had be far too used to a government system that was essentially no different from a dictatorship. Hence, now that their leader was gone, they began to depend and rely on him even though he was still just a prince.
Not only his territory but the entire elven race now looked to him for guidance and leadership. They didnt bother themselves with politics, fully believing their handsome Majesty was still the one ruling over them.
That was what made this country a little unique.
Theirte king, having nigh-exclusive power over the governance and reformation of his nation, was at the very least progressive. However, the people he used to lead were very conservative and narrow-mindedly loved him from birth to death.
In other words, the Elf King just wasnt the ruler of a country. He was the leader of their race. That was why the distinction of nationality was meaningless to the elves.
With you in that state, can you even lead your poor and foolish subjects?
Im fine.
This is just too irresponsible.
The king, through a vision, told me hesing back. Thats why I know our race will survive. Still, now that Im in his position, Ive realized how great he truly was. As a result, Ive concluded that the position of Elf King is too heavy for me to bear.
Is that so?
I thought the elves left everything to Elfheim simply because they refused to suffer from politics-induced headaches, but it seemed their desire to rely on others was just nearly limitless.
On the other hand, no one would want to be a king if they saw Prince Nasuss deteriorating health. It wouldnt even be strange if he died from overwork right this instant.
What did the Heroe to see me for?
I heard youre having difficulties coping with your newly regained memories, but I dont think you have time to even look back into the past.
Hahaha
His dry smile touched me deeply.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed a bunch of his hair had fallen all over his bed.
Swish.
Considering he had one of his servants silently swiping them away, he was most likely frequently shedding hair.
Was he suffering from hair loss?
Elves, asid-back as their lifespan, were immune to stress-rted hair loss, but he seemed to be an exception.
Was this actually going to kill him after all?
He lived in a very different reality from Princess Sylvia.
What about your sister?
A child who has no interest in politics. She left it alone after trying her hands on it a few times.
I see.
Sylvia wasnt as flexible as her fellow elves.
In the past, she was an idiot who believed her race reigned supreme over others, and now she had fallen into a great delusion
She didnt fit in with politicians who had to adapt quickly to changes.
What do you really need from me?
Im just worried.
I know this wille across as disrespectful, but as far as my memory serves, the Hero isnt the type to worry about others.
Then what?
Hes the type to grab others by the neck and tell them theyd be fine.
Hmm I think youre prejudicing me. I dont do that.
You do, but since this isnt important right now, lets move on. Ill ask you again. Aside from your concern over my well-being, what brought you here?
He was making this conversation really difficult for me.
I wanted to argue against him, but I suppressed my urge to do so, thinking it would be too harsh for someone as overworked and ill as him.
I heard you met a Saintess recently.
Ah, so youre here because of that after all. I found it hard to talk to her due to my phobia of women. Ironically enough, though, she made me feel a lot better.
Is it love?
Are you a lover of big breasts like Elfheim was?
Hmmmm! Our meeting just made me feel like I was meeting my eldest sister. We seldom experience such an emotion, considering the boundaries of age blurs and eventually breaks for our kind as we grow older, though the respect we have for them remains.
Thats what usually happens when men meet older women. You fell in love with her and even want to gradually turn her into your wife because she unconsciously reminds you of your mother.
Its okay. Its a natural phenomenon.
To me, Illeana was nothing but a fake-breasted scammer, but her fellow elves saw her in a different light.
Was Nasus also unaware about Illeanas gigantic breasts actually being mulberry-sized?
If so, I felt really bad for him.
She seems to have decided to wander across the continents as her tangled memories organize themselves. He smiled bitterly.
I apologize for interrupting your drama about oveing gynophobia with the power of love, but did she say anything about where shes going?
I assumed she was on a journey to find her family, but upon listening to Prince Nasuss words, it seemed I waspletely wrong.
She didnt tell me, but I am the prince of this country. I easily confirmed shes boarding a ship to the port of Alcabra on the Eastern Continent.
So thats who you made me spy on.
Until I heard Ariess voice, I thought Prince Nasus had been left alone with me in his room.
Did he really order her to stalk his aunt?
If theyter found out about their familial rtionship, it would be as much fun as the Saturday drama my mother watched with tears in her eyes aftering home from her tennis club.
I didnt make you spy on her! I was just worried about her safety!
Really now?
That was exactly what the stalkers from my home nt said whenever the police were interrogating them!
Even Fugitive Senior firmly believed that if one truly loved a woman, they could take her away from her current lover.
Ah! I should pay him a visitter.
After all, I promised my best friend Noebius that Id rescue the love of his life while we were fighting against the monroid army.
That aside
Where is she right now?
We lost her. ording to the ount of a trusted informant, after she entered an inn, she disappeared.
I see
Illeana likely noticed her nephews goons following her.
After all, she was once on a mission to find the Chaos Artifacts scattered across thends of Fantasy.
The gentle Saintess Nasus met was no more than a mask that hid her true identity, a thief specialized in hiding and escaping.
This just took a turn for the worse.
If Illeana became determined to keep hiding, it would be difficult to find her without the help of the obsolete Fantasy system or my divine power.
May I ask you a question in return, Hero?
If youre not a mun, sure.
What? Ah, I forgot you were a Monist. Anyway, I dont know if Im just ignorant, but Fantasys natives have all gathered now that all of its fragments have be one. If so, then all the other Heroes mustve been summoned here as well, yet youre the only one we have identified so far. Can you exin to me whats actually happening?
Nasus question was justifiable.
He had been through a lot because of them, after all.
If he lived in a remote area where the Heroes didnt visit, he wouldnt have thought about such a question in the first ce.
I replied politely.
Theylle here one by one someday.
I couldnt reveal here that I was the president of this world and was in charge of the Heroes they were looking for.
Ill have to prepare for when that happens, but His Majesty Elfheim will probably do something about it himself. He always did save us whenever our poor kind is in peril.
Dont you trust that pervert too much?
Ah, sorry. He was an elf worthy of respect.
Its fine. I just realized youre no ordinary Hero. Most Heroes and citizens know of him as a phnthropist, unaware that he hates his people.
Well I found out by chance.
I forgot.
Elfheim, the Third Elf King, was known as the perfect leader by the outside world.
Their race thought the greatest blessing they had ever received wasnt long life and eternal youth. It was having him as their leader!
That perverted elfs reputation was so solidified that his people epted it as the truth.
You must be connected to him in some way.
Something like that.
He was, after all, technically my father-inw since his daughter still gave birth to a twin despite their kinds extremely low birth rate.
My daughters resembled me so much they even became emperors of Fantasy at a young age.
I wonder how theyre doing.
They were powerful enough to y Noebius in his youth, so they should be fine for as long as they werent up against the monroids.
If you happen to find Saintess Illeanater, Hero, please tell her to return to the Empire. This country needs her.
Are you sure its not just you who needs her?
Hmmmm!
Ill let her know.
However, the possibility of us meeting was far too low.
Aside from the fact that she was a thief, the Eastern Continent was an archipgo. Hence, information exchange between its cities and countries wasnt as smooth as in the other Continents.
I needed another way.
Nasus. Wheres the Third Elf Kings second wife right now?
Well I dont know why youre suddenly looking for her, but Aries would know.
Thanks.
When you see His Majesty, tell him to return as soon as he can.
Hey. What makes you think Ill be talking to a dead man?
Consider it a hunch.
That was a really convenient prediction!
Now that Im desperately leading our race on his behalf, I havee to realize that only King Elfheim can lead these feeble people right.
Is that so?
From an elfs perspective, a world without that pervert seemed to be no different from hell.
I left Nasus not long after, who nervously governed a small empire, and visited Aries again.
The 2nd Queen?
Yes. Is she in bad condition as well?
She is, but in a different sense. After His Majestys death, the 1st Queen began bullying Excuse me. She began punishing her for being a sinner.
I see.
Did Elfheims absence allow his wives jealousy to finally explode?
???A certain innocent goddess expresses her hatred for harems.???
???A certain innocent goddess strongly advocates for chastity.???
Having been silent for quite a while, the Innocent Goddess disturbed my peace again. Why was she getting so worked up now?
I went to the 2nd Queens residence, desperately hoping the deities wouldnt catch up to my ns.
Silesia, Elf Hero Silerions younger sister, was the traitor who drove Elfheim out of the Holy Kingdom and usurped his throne.
Yet despite her demented personality, Parmael still hired her as a teacher and continued to hold her position to this day even after Bakery became Director!
That made me wonder if her abilities made up for her deplorable personality. Well, Id know once we met.
This is it, Hero. ording to her maid, shes currently with the First Queen.
Seems like it.
I could hear two different female voicesing from behind the soundproofed door.
I know Ive asked you this before, Silesia, but did my daughter really sleep with a human from another world and give birth to twins?
Yes. I dont know how many times Ive answered that question already, but Ive confirmed that fact over and over again.
Im sorry. Its just frustrating.
I understand.
Even though His Majesty Elfheim loved humans, he still married those from his kind, knowing fully well how to separate his public and private lives. But my eldest daughter Why did she have to fall for a human Ahh! I cant face His Majesty now that Ive given birth to a disgrace!
Its okay. The human she ended up with is extremely powerful and intelligent. Hes also a friend of His Majesty.
Hmph! That garbage hasnt evene by at least once to thank me for giving birth to a wonderful daughter that resembles the greatest elf to ever exist!
Listen.
What is it?
He is greater than any human you can imagine.
More than His Majesty?
No. There is no one nobler and greater than His Majesty Elfheim. The act ofparing him to others itself is already an insult to his excellence.
Silesia.
Yes?
My daughter, Elkaterina, the eldest child of a family that carries the blood of our perfect king, has been tainted by the hands of a foul human whos never even visited me to express his gratitude and pay his respects. Imagine youre in my ce, Silesia, my eternal rival.
Hes garbage.
Right? Objectively speaking, hes trash, isnt he?
Knock knock
Since there was no sign of their conversation ending, I decided to intervene.
Excuse me. The trash you were looking for has been delivered. May Ie in?
Wait. Ive never heard this voice before. Are you making fun of me? This room is the residence of the Great Elf King Elfheims wife. Ask my maid for the location of the trash can or the garbage dump instead Huh? Silesia? You dont look so good. Are you sick?
Creaaaak
After notifying them of my presence, I entered the room without their permission.
I was garbage, after all!
Nice to meet you, mother-inw. I am that trash.
How dare?
Wheres the trash can?
My mother-inw stared at me with a nk expression.
So handsome
What was that?
Youre so handsome
Ah. Thank you.
The handsome Hero who hadnt been recycled yet made his grand entrance!
Chapter 403 - [30th Round] Super Handsome Son-in-law
Chapter 403 - [30th Round] Super Handsome Son-inw
I was a humble G-ss Hero, but when I heard my mother-inw call me handsome, I couldnt help but shrug!
Are you blind, sister? Hes fearsome, not handsome.
As soon as I saw his face, my heart started beating like crazy
Thats because youre scared.
The washboard teacher began to demean the G-ss Presidents appearance without any clear reason.
I should fire herter.
This handsome man is my son-inw Hmmmm Are you really?
My mother-inws violent tone became softer.
I wanted her to acknowledge me for being the Righteous Hero rather than for my looks. Unfortunately, I was born far too attractive for my own good.
Still, since it was fates work, I had no choice but to ept it.
Yes, Mother-inw.
Mother-inw? We elves treat our parents and siblings like friends upon reaching 2,000 years old. Please call me Esilis instead In a friendly way.
I had known for a long time that I was handsome, but this was the second time one of my mother-inws acted provocatively towards me, the first being my cowardly wifes mother.
I kept forgetting that her lifespan was infinite since she looked like she was still in her 20s, but she was actually a living fossil that had been existing for over 10,000 years.
Did my mother-inw really like my appearance that much?
Or did she decide that the daughter does not deserve such a son-inw?
The way Silesia trembled while looking at me made me second guess myself.
The second wife of the Elf King
It was annoying to think about.
Its a pleasure to meet you. I was nning on visiting you sooner, but my trip was postponed when I heard very recently that your daughter has given birth to my child.
I see. Where did that girl catch such a handsome guy Hoho! This is silly. All I can think of is how handsome you are when I look at you, so please understand if I keep saying strange things. Ah! I apologize for keeping you standing while we talk. Please, take a seat on the sofa.
Thank you.
Our meeting went well.
Mother-inw B, who was just recently condemning me for tainting her daughter, became as generous as Mother-inw A.
What was the difference between the two, then?
Elfheim Kahn Lanuberk is my light, master, teacher, senior, love, man, and husband. How is he these days? Is he doing well? Does he still sit on the window sill on the second floor to ogle at the breasts of passing female humans?
Hmm. That doesnt seem to be the case anymore these days.
Huh! Is he sick like the fake who died recently?!
Well, not exactly.
Mother-inw Apletely forgot about her husband Pedonar to focus on her son-inw, but Mother-inw B still loved and missed the Third Elf King.
If so, then what was up with her sticky gaze?
I felt like a slime caught in a spiders web.
So Silesias words about King Elfheim being alive were true.
Ah, Im sorry. Even though you probably knew I elicited an answer from you to obtain the information I desired, you still provided a genuine evaluation. Ah, you have such a reliable heart
Thank you.
Sitting close to me, she suddenly started stroking her son-inws broad, strong chest.
I was a little confused.
Oh! Please dont misunderstand. Elfheim owns my body and mind. Im just doing a physical examination on you to make sure youre the right man for my daughter.
Ah yes.
She sexually harassed me repeatedly, and now she was actually trying to do the dirty deed with me.
At that moment, Teacher A, who was scheduled to be fired, interrupted her.
Please understand her. As you may already know, Elfheim saved my older sister from the ve market just before he left the affluent human society to save his suffering people. Thats why her way of thinking is closer to that of humans than our kind.
What do you take human beings for?
Humanity is a race that dominates this world with its vigorous fertility. Still, I was surprised. Unlike His Majesty Elfheim, whos honest with his instincts, my older sister cant express her inner desires fluently.
She was expressing herself quite well right now.
Outside this door, Kaisa was waiting for me.
If your hand goes even further down from there, mother-inw, this situation might be a lot moreplicated than it has to be.
She might cause my soft justice to soar and harden.
Oh! You just amazed me so much I grew unaware of what I was doing
I want to continue what we were talking about earlier. Is His Majesty sick? He never took his eyes off of female humans chests.
He sits on a bench that offers a greatkeside view and ys with his granddaughters.
Ah!
Mother-inw Bs dangerous hand movements stopped as she sighed deeply.
I can imagine my daughter smiling with my granddaughters sitting on herp or her side.
You dont even have to look at them to know what theyre up to?
Of course. I am far away from His Majesty now, but those times are but a fleeting moment in my long life.
On that note
I didnt realize she was a bug.
If I were to open it up now, though, Id probably hear people saying I should read the atmosphere.
Im a bug, arent I?
Oh?
The real me yielded to her living brothers, and I, as a fake, am already satisfied with another fake. I do not want the dead to interfere with the future of the living, after all.
Excuse me, mother-inw?
There is no need to bepassionate.
No, its not that. I meant to ask you when youre going to remove your hands. Their movements are bing more and more unusual.
Whew! Amazing, isnt it? I have honed my skills to fight against the superior breasts of human beings.
Using it on your son-inw about is a bit
You should be grateful. Im doing this to you because I think of you as a man worthy of my respect. If you had been a squirmy scarecrow, I would have already put you in the trash.
???A certain innocent goddess blushes.???
???A certain innocent goddess covers her eyes with her hands.???
???A certain innocent goddess opens up and spreads her fingers apart.???
What was that goddess doing?
I needed to gently ovee this current situation before she could further ster my view with her message.
Fake
I know I died in the distant past after being swept away by the rebellion my brother caused. I am now but a remnant of memories woven by the will of the world.
I narrowed my eyes at her.
It wasnt the first time Id seen a mindset simr to that of Mother-inw B.
She was a bug, so it was okay.
Hippolia acted the same way when she was on the verge of being absorbed by First Angel Parmael.
But what about now?
I will tell my mother-inw about someone I know.
A woman?
Uh yes.
Your wife?
No, a ve.
Oh? Dont tell me the Hero doesnt know that wives and ves are synonymous with each other in this ce? Thats how Elfheim and I started, you know. Our rtionship then as master and ve strengthened our bond even more than being an ordinary couple could.
Can I talk about her?
Whether it is right to talk about females other than my daughter right in front of your mother-inw remains to be answered, but I will tolerate it since I am a fake.
This woman was beyond my imagination.
I was having a peaceful conversation with someone who killed herself, regardless of whether she did so directly or indirectly, yet also possessed a spirit that was no less than that of Elfheim.
Her thoughts about wives and ves being simr didnt seem like they were just nonsense.
What do you want to talk about, son-inw? Oh, before that, Ive already deduced that youre not just an empty handsome shell. Hence, I give you my blessing to have my daughter.
You can tell that much just from sexually harassing me?
Of course. Im really sorry if you thought of it as sexual harassment, but I had to do it since being handsome isnt all that makes a man.
I see.
I already knew I was an attractive president, but I hoped my mother-inw would stop saying I was handsome.
It was too much of an impetus for my humble lifestyle.
Sheughed.
I can clearly see what youre thinking. Didnt your mother-inw curse at you for rationalizing sexual harassment?
Im more curious about how you found out about it.
All handsome men look the same. There may be gic differences in body type simr to how womens breasts varied in shapes and sizes, but lean physiques will always be almost identical.
Yes.
My body wasnt much different from other Heroes.
There was a clear distinction between our muscle cells, but Mother-inw B wasnt talking about physical strength.
So what?
I observed my son-inws reaction to the stimtion I applied using my hand.
Is it something like a conditional reflex?
I dont know what that means, so let me provide a bit of an exnation. The current Fantasy world takes abilities for granted, but from the time I was born until I became an adult, mine were reserved for adventurers chosen by the Goddess.
I see
I again forgot that my mother-inw B was a living fossil despite her youthful appearance.
Fantasys natives didnt question the abilities they received from birth, but she had a different perspective since she knew that wasnt originally the case.
At some point, Fantasy became a world where powerful people were highly valued. Not wanting to be left out, I searched for a way to grow stronger, and amid it, I discovered
Sexual Harassment?
No! I usually just hold hands. Calluses dont help either since they disappear upon reaching a certain level. However, there are things one cant hide even with skills and abilities.
Habits.
Exactly. Habits are the mirror that reflects a persons life. I can even judge people based on their handshake.
Whatever your reason is, mother-inw, you shouldnt shake hands with your son-inws 11th finger.
Thats not it. I was just checking the husband of the only child I gave birth to while I was alive. However, concluding that a handshake alone doesnt provide enough information, I started investigating your body rather aggressively Ah, my son-inws firm chest that twitches every time I touch it is strangely addictive Youre so handsome
Hmm
I was confused.
My opponent right now was an LCD monitor that was more than 10,000 years old, while I was just a 200-year-old handsome guy.
Considering our age gap, wasnt I being exposed to highly intricate child abuse crimes?
I didnte here for this, but I couldnt help but feel dumbfounded in this situation!
Your muscles are extremely toned. Theyre different from Heroes who get so excited looking at beautiful females that they immediately attempt to gain possession of them. Your body also responds to sensations like a very precise magic spell. When I run my nails along your chest, even if I dont pose a threat, the hair on your skin immediately hardens. That area of excellence can never be reached by the current generation of adventurers, which rely on their skills too much.
Hey~
That was a pretty reasonable argument.
Even so, it didnt change the fact that it was still enacting child sexual abuse!
So, what brought my handsome son-inw here? You probably didnte here to seek permission from me, who had already done it all and became a mortal.
Im looking for Illeana.
Ah, you were looking for the stray cats daughter? no way?
No.
I havent talked about this with you yet, but have you been backstabbed? I dont me you. I lost some of my time with Elfheim to that thiefs family too Ugh. After my husband, theyre not targeting my son-inw!
Hmmmm! As the saying goes, I cant find her because she inherited the blood of a stray cat. So I came here to get some help.
You want my help?
Sorry, no. Im here to discreetly mobilize my subordinate.
I left Mother-inw B amid her confusion and looked at the other elf in the room. She rolled her eyes in response.
She was a so-called field teacher.
These days, she was wearing ordinary clothes without piercings all over her body.
Im Silesia.
I didnt ask.
Its obvious that you forgot, so I decided to remind you in advance. The habit of impressing your boss is one of the foundations of an individuals social life. Im Silesia, a field teacher tasked with attaching spirits to muscle-headed Heroes stupid enough to be unable to use magic. Im currently in charge of stabilizing the Elf Empires situation, which has be unstable due to His Majestys absence.
Putting aside the special reason why shed be fired soon, she actually worked really hard!
So what about Illeana?
Dont pretend like you know nothing. You have enough authority to get such intel with ease, after all. Disclose the information before I investigate it myself.
Alright.
Hmm?
Her tone wasnt at all convincing.
As the icon of betrayal, she sparked a rebellion after her husband, who was worshiped as a god by her people, only liked big breasts. Considering that reputation of hers, I couldnt predict what shed do
If shes still alive, shell be in the Forest of Dreams.
Still alive?
I didnt like watching my beloved grandson flirting with her fake-breasted aunt, so I poisoned him a little.
You mean Nasus?
Maybe.
Hey! Did you poison your own grandson to protect him?!
Rx. I didnt kill him. Illeana went to find a rare antidote that grows only in the Forest of Dreams. In doing so, I naturally separated the two without coercion
Youre fired!
What?! Thats unfair!
I, as the president, could just resurrect myself as many times as needed if I were to die in the dimension of either Fantasy or Festival.
But romantium, although naturally urring, couldnt be retrieved the same way.
Unless I could save Illeana from certain death, that precious metal might as well be lost forever!
Please be safe!
The handsome Hero faced an unexpected crisis!
Chapter 404 - [30th Round] Social Outcast!
Chapter 404 - [30th Round] Social Outcast!
Externally, I looked like an ideal Hero that didnt differentiate between men and women and forgave no viin. However, I couldnt help but be worriedtely about what I couldnt tell anyone about.
The old days werent that bad.
In my first round, when I knew nothing about killing viins, I moved with the utmost caution, like a judge passing a verdict in court.
Should I kill him?
Wasnt this a necessary evil?
What would be the consequences?
Was it worth judging them by appearance?
Did they deceive me?
I didnt judge good and evil superficially, like mypanions, but took into ount various circumstances.
In doing so, I came to one conclusion.
Inner beauty was important!
Um Han Soo, evaluating people based on their spine and pelvis is
You have a beautiful pelvis, Kaisa, and your spine isnt bad either. Thats why you were destined to be my wife.
That is a perfectly reasonable approach. I agree.
Just like how Mother-inw B judged an individual based on their habits, a persons spine and pelvis could also say a lot about their life.
I wasnt just spouting bullsh*t.
Office workers, sitting behind their desks for long periods, often experienced vertebral dislocation.
Likewise, old athletes suffered during thetter part of their years since they had worn out their cartge at a young age due to heavy loads.
In other words, inner beauty personifying human life was simply science.
Why did you bring this up, Han Soo?
Im just grumbling.
Thats not like you.
How do you even see me as a person?
I was currently flying to the Eastern Continent to prevent the atrocities of a vile field teacher, whom I would soon fire.
Naturally, I had Kaisa in my arms.
I usually yed the role of striker rather than defender. So it was better to stay away from Mother-inw B in the future, who also preferred the same role
A man whod willingly break even his mother-inws neck if she was deemedcking in kindness.
Who are you talking about?
You. I was just answering your question.
Ah! That was so far from the truth I didnt even realize it at first!
Listen carefully, Kaisa. I dont like the notion of regression. It just doesnt make any sense. Upon being sent back in time, one would be transferred from timeline A to timeline B, making them think everything had been fixed now. But that mindset is far too narrow. What would happen to timeline As universe, which they now abandoned forever? Causing the universe itself to rewind isnt possible since even the most powerful gods cant provide the total amount of energy required for such a feat. Even if it were possible, they wouldnt pay any attention to a social outcast. Am I making any sense?
No.
So my exnations stillplicated for you, huh Dont worry. Ill send Science Teacher to youter.
I dont know what you mean, but I think this wont have any effect on our marriage. I already get that you dont believe in going back in time for one reason or another anyway.
I didnt think there was any need to delve into this side topic further.
Thats enough for me. Lets get back to the point of my story. Finding regression deplorable, I valued my time and rtionships with other people.
I believe you value your time, but rtionships? It doesnt look like youre nning on mending your connection with thepanions you killed.
Of course. I hated those bunch of idiots who are ready to paralyze the market economy of an entire city just to save one girl.
I have nothing to say to that.
Kaisa, my point is I really put in a lot of effort in my first round.
Compared to the different Heroes in my memories, you really did try harder than the rest. You worked tirelessly and without taking a break Whoa?! Were in the middle of a conversation! Keep your fingers to yourself!
This has nothing to do with the conversation.
Hence, thosements were unnecessary and useless.
The bottom line was that I was diligent enough in my first round to memorize the names of the most decent among the stupid Fantasy savages.
For example?
Once, when mypanions pissed me off, I got drunk and got into a conversation in a bar. As a result, I ended up bing close to people who took pity on me.
That was during my first round.
However, when I learned about the concept and existence of regression in this world, I found my judgment and values turned upside down.
Is going back in time really that bad? The other Heroes were so happy about it, almost as if they felt like they had be gods.
Im not surprised.
I expected no better from those single-celled organisms.
People valued life because what had been done and said couldnt be reversed.
That was why we always did our best.
But then we discovered regression.
That didnt just give us the ability to possess information about the future others knew nothing of.
It plummeted human pride and dignity, the value of time, and the importance of life to the very bottom.
If something went wrong, we could just restart from the beginning as if we were in a game.
I found such an attitude towards the world heartless.
But you now look contented, Han Soo. Does this have anything to do with the unification of the dimensions?
Of course.
Because now we were no longer guinea pigs.
There was no regression.
There was only one Kaisa in the world.
So everything turned out the way you wanted? Why did you grumble then?
Its just hard to get used to.
Dont look at me with such a silly look on your face. This is very important for me. Here, let me give you an example. If I do this with my fingers, it will forever be imprinted on your body.
Kya?!
See? Our actions are no longer reversible, so I need to be careful. But thats exactly why I cant help but wonder if it would still be right to ignore Citizen A, Princess C, or Knight B now.
I understand! Stop doing this in broad daylight already!
Im d the version of you that doesnt know what magic I can do with my fingers will no longer return.
Couldnt you have given a normal example?!
Im ready to take responsibility. So its okay.
Your ways of expressing love are beyondmon sense. But I appreciate them.
Then Ill continue.
What? Kyaaaah!
Kaisa was already soaked to the bone when we reached the Eastern Continent.
I scanned our surroundings.
Resident A, Resident B, Resident C, Resident D
Unlike the bustling ports, it was quiet and peaceful in this wilderness.
It must be around here somewhere
We were currently standing in the approximate location of Illeana, ording to a dastardly Elf Empire teachers report formted using her work privileges.
Dream Forest Vige D.
Although its name connected it to the Dream Forest, this ce was quite a distance away from it.
It was simply the nearest settlement adventurers and mercenaries could resupply in before heading into the woods.
However, it would actually take a day to get to the forest itself from here.
Since I didnt have much time, I decided to ask Citizen C, the least dumb-looking of the vigers.
Hey, let me take some of your time since youre not busy and youre vignt enough to judge country girls buttocks. I need to ask you something.
Kh?!
Im looking for an elf. Her ears are longer than average, and her breasts are muchrger than those of normal elves. In fact, her features are so unique itd be hard to miss.
Kh! My neck Pha!
Hmm? Ah. Im really sorry. Its an old habit. I me this on the recent fusion of memories.
I let go of Citizen Cs neck, the space between its 6th and 7th vertebrae of which I had mped shut.
God! Are you also one of those social outcasts? I understand that your minds probably filled with confusion right now, but be more careful next time. I thought I was going to die.
Thats a very good point. You could say that.
Amazing.
I didnt think the day woulde when I, the Righteous Hero, would be branded a social outcast.
This vige is in the middle of nowhere, so were having a much easier time coping with this strange phenomenon. On the other hand, the agriculture of the neighboring vige, which Heroes often visited, has been paralyzed.
They still visited this ce nheless, right?
Yes, but there were so few of them that I can count them in one hand. Still, among them, theres one Hero that well never forget.
Hmm?
So there was such a Hero.
I grew curious about who they were and how they were remembered.
His name was Kang Han Soo.
Pha!
Mm? Now that Ive gotten a closer look at you It cant be! Youre Kang Han Soo, arent you?!
Well
Oh my God! You choked me as soon as you saw me, preventing me froming to my senses right away, but now Im certain! And thedy next to you is the Sword Princess, right?
Yes
Everyone! Stop what youre doing ande here! Hes back! Our Hero is back!
Brimming with excitement, Citizen C has caused amotion amid this quiet vige.
Kaisa swiftly embraced me, eximing in surprise.
Is this a trap?!
No, just a simplemotion
Ah! I remember now. Were in the vige of Parnar, whose residents you helped in the past, arent we? This ce is full of bad memories for me and my colleagues, but its different for the locals.
Hearing Citizen Cs shouts, everyone rushed to us.
Hes back?
My God! He is!
Kang Han Soo!
Our savior has returned!
Wee, Hero!
I was just about to calmly search for Illeanas pads, but I found myself in the spotlight instead.
I had to somehow resolve this situation.
Hey! Take it easy. This isnt your first time seeing a Hero, so whats with all the fuss? Go back to what you were all doing already.
Citizen A replied, Haha! How can you put yourself on the same level as other Heroes?
You
The vige elder. An ipetent old elf in charge of one of the many viges you saved, The elf, who seemed to be in his thirties, replied with a modest smile.
I narrowed my eyes at him.
Why act so modestly? You shouldnt talk about yourself like that. It was you who saved this vige, not me. I just suggested a way to solve your problem. You should be more proud of yourself, Mr. Leod.
Wow! The Hero still remembers my pathetic name! This is such an honor!
We worked together for five days, during which we called each other by name, after all.
I got used to not remembering the names of those I encountered in my journeys since any bonds I made immediately dissolved every time I regressed.
However, with the world now united, they remembered
Han Soo?
Dont mind me.
Are you crying?
Not at all. The Righteous Hero with a heart of steel does not cry over such trifles.
Hehe. Of course.
I finally got them back.
My past acquaintances.
With their locked memories freed, they no longer dryly asked me who I was while staring at me nkly.
Luka, you mischievous girl, you still havent found a husband? Are you still trying to find yourself a city boy?
Of course, but now that youre here Huh?! The Hero is already married?!
Hmm. Elio, ck troll hunter. Be more confident, got that?
Haha I understand, Hero, but Im just a bumpkin
Mister Droy, are you still experiencing backaches? Isnt it time to leave your daughters smithy? At this rate, you might pass on without seeing your future grandchildren.
Haha I would definitely like to see my grandchildren, but my daughter isnt even nning to get married yet!
I felt as if our conversations would never end if Imunicated with each viger separately.
On the other hand, their rtionship with the Sword Princess
That terrible woman is here again?
Why is that witch hugging the Hero?
Be careful with your words. She might kill you.
Phew! Fortunately, shes the only one here.
was dark.
Kaisas ears turned red.
Its okay, Han Soo. This is karma. My colleagues and I have toe to terms with this
Okay, then
I wanted to speak with the elder to continue my search for Illeana.
But the atmosphere didnt allow it.
The locals dragged the Righteous Hero aside.
Take a look at the vige square! We worked with other viges at the same time to build a statue of the Hero. We have depicted the figure of Kang Han Soo towering over the hypocritical Heroes!
I couldnt refuse them, could I?
It would never be toote to find Illeanas pads anyway
???A certain innocent goddess is filled with pride.???
What was she so proud of?
Regardless, the Righteous G-ss Hero headed to the vige square!
Chapter 405 - [30th Round] Together with the Gods
Chapter 405 - [30th Round] Together with the Gods
Parnar vige wasnt special. As the vige chief of Parunaru said, it was just one of the many viges I saved during my first round.
The differencey in the fact that even if I saved both Citizens A and B, the weight of that memory varied depending on the direness of their predicament.
For example, between handing a tissue to someone who spilled coffee on their clothes and throwing a tube to someone who drowned, thetter would probably be more memorable since it was rarer and more dangerous.
And that difference was bound to be greater for the person being helped.
This vige certainly did develop a lot.
We cooperated with the neighboring viges to build this statue inmemoration and appreciation of the Heros achievements. There was even apetition to determine which vige it would be built in, so I was actually a little nervous. Haha! Anyway, what do you think?
I wont say it would have been better if you used the budget for this to revitalize the vige instead. No one knows what the future holds, after all. One of your residents might be moved by my glorification enough to push them into bing a great Hero.
Hahaha! I thought you would say that. Just like in the past, you still have the wisdom to perceive the possibilities the future holds. You missed one thing, though, Hero.
Theres more to that statue?
It had excellent quality since various viges agreed to cooperate in erecting one as best they could instead of dividing their manpower and talent to create many, all to save money. Still, it was made of the same top-of-the-line stone used for special structures such as a citys central fountain.
The statue depicted a young man standing tall on top of a pile of Heroes stacked up like hamburger patties.
He held a shovel in his right hand instead of a Holy Sword, and his left hand was lightly stroking the head of a scruffy, mournful boy.
Oh, my. I cant believe the very person who taught us the importance of tourism didnt notice it
That thing?
Was my statue a tourist attraction?
As the Righteous Hero, I thought this was too much.
I wouldnt be surprised if grandparents often came out of their homes holding their innocent grandchildrens hands to say, There was a time when such a brave Hero visited our vige!
However, for it to have an impact on tourism was a bit farfetched
How does this ce make you feel right now, Hero?
its like I returned to the past.
Yes.
My statue was premature.
In my first round, I stopped by this vige on my way to the Dream Forest, solving the problem they had at the time. Due to that, Parnar developed rapidly.
But that was also a bygone era.
This ce, too, reverted to its starting state upon my regression.
But thanks to you, things have changed around here.
Weve all grown closer to each other, and weve learned not to treat our neighbors with indifference.
While those can also be called one of your achievements, its still far from your greatest feat. That serves as proof that you are a real Hero, not a hypocrite.
I couldnt understand what they meant.
With their memories now recollected, Fantasys natives remembered me. Honestly, I was d to finally talk to my old acquaintances again.
Still, what did it matter?
Parnar Viges progress was dismissed as an illusion upon regression.
It serves as our hope.
Hope?
The Heroes on the floor of that statue werent designed randomly. All of them had passed through this ce and the nearby viges. Haha In doing so, they healed one and destroyed two.
Ah
Having been with Sieg, a typical nerd who frequently ruined the bigger picture by being caught up with the littlest things, I understood.
It seemed that the other Heroes werent much different from him.
Oh! The person who most wanted to meet Kang Han Soo has arrived. The elder said.
Mr. Dave?
Vicious Pig Merchant
Kaisa and I addressed the man struggling to run with different names.
Kaisa wasnt just harboring prejudice against him, though.
He was indeed a vicious merchant who held themercial rights of Parnar and treated its residents like ves.
His appearance wasnt likable either Hey! He had better not hug me!
Gosh! Hero! Im so happy I dont know what to say!
Mr. Dave. If I remember correctly, I definitely advised you to lose some weight if you didnt want to die at a young age. And a man shouldnt embrace another man.
I like the Hero.
Please refrain from remarks that my wife might misunderstand.
Ah! Come to think of it, the beauty who came with you Heik?!
Btedly confirming who the beauty next to me was, he backed away so much out of sheer panic that he even fell to the ground.
His terrified expression made it seem like he just came face to face with a serial killer.
Well, he wasntpletely wrong.
In my first round, he almost got killed by my colleagues.
I wont kill you, unlike in the past, so treat me like I dont exist. You can think of me as a pony Han Soo brought. She moved a few paces behind me.
This is surprising. I didnt think the two of you who used to be enemies would get married Heiikk?! That doesnt mean you two arent perfect for each other!
He bowed down low enough to nt his face on the floor as he trembled due to the subtle change in Kaisas expression.
Was he overreacting?
I looked back at my wife.
How many times have you killed Dave before?
I wasnt the only one who did.
Ill take that as a lot.
If so, then it was understandable for Dave, the typical vile trader, to tremble like that.
If it went on like this, their problems wouldnt be resolved.
Dont be afraid, Mr. Dave. Raise your head. She will bring you no harm.
You never cease to amaze me, Hero. If it were someone else in your shoes, his arm wouldve been cut off the moment he touched the Sword Princesss chest.
Thats amon expression of affection between newlyweds.
No Thats definitely notmon Anyway, I understand. I see shes also changed a little after meeting you.
A little?
It wasnt a big deal.
Without regression, everyone and everything was bound to change little by little throughout their lives.
People, environment, rtionships
From here on out, the world of Fantasy would change.
I cant imagine what I would be like right now if I hadnt met Kang Han Soo.
You wouldve still lived in prosperity somewhere.
Hahaha Absolutely not. All kinds of negative thoughts came to mind as my memories of being killed by the Heroes flooded in all at once. Yes, it wasnt just yourpanions.
He didnt have to say that for me to know.
Crying desperately, the vigers pleaded, We dont want to pay off our debts! to the Heroes.
In response, Dave chose to befriend the vigers instead of taking revenge on them.
The same happened now, even though there were no Heroes.
Are you going to re-promote the joint project we envisioned together?
Of course. I am a merchant to the core. There is no reason for me to shy away from doing something I can profit from. Damn Heroes Ahem! Excuse me. They defined me as evil and even publicly executed me, but Im just a merchant who established a monopoly over the market of Parnar to maximize my profits.
Judging it safe to be around Kaisa now, he finally found the courage to say he was treated unjustly.
Monopoly.
He purchased daily necessities in a remote vige with limited exchanges at a low price then resold them at a higher price, a tactic often used by the ck market merchants who ruled the borders of Fantasy.
Not having a proper solution to price hikes, the vigers were forced to be ripped off.
The key was profit.
If the merchants found it more profitable to cooperate with the vigers, their blood, sweat, and tears would no longer be squeezed dry.
Hero.
I dont need an exnation. I dont see listening to your pride worthwhile.
Dont say that. I was the one who donated the most to that statue.
Thats an extension of the tourism industry, which was one of our business initiatives, as the elder said. You did nothing but reinvest based on your memories of sesses.
Woah Your wisdom is as powerful as ever, Hero. Unlike the other savage murderers, you at leastmunicate. Heheh!
Ill see youter when I have time. Im a little busy right now.
Ah, then it cant be helped. When you have time, please visit meter. I will do anything for you with a 50% discount. Like before?
Merchant Dave snapped his fingers.
If my wife kills you again in this life, itll be because of your arrogance.
Oh my God! Please save me, Sword Princess! I think the Heros gone crazy for a moment!
Kaisa gazed at him lying t on the floor with wide-open eyes for a moment, then turned around.
He mumbled a little.
How can he make her do that
He is a man, after all. Hmmmm.
Leod, utilizing his years of experience, intervened in a timely manner.
Well, Dave. Hurry up and get to work. The Hero didnte to this remote vige for no reason.
Ah! Im sorry. Ive kept you here for too long. Anyway, Ill be going now. Be sure to stop byter! And Sword Princess. Congrattions on your wedding!
Dave soon disappeared in the distance, his heavy body tossing and turning.
Hes crazy.
Haha! Kang Han Soos poprity is simply that high. Since you said youre busy, let me summarize what happened here.
That would be ideal. Thank you.
We collected and cross-referenced our memories of various Heroes saving our home in times of crisis. In doing so, we concluded that aside from you, the only true Hero, the rest were useless and did more harm than good. I didnt know it at the time, but afterparing the other Heroes to you, I finally realized how much you thought of us and how great you are, Kang Han Soo.
His exnation allowed me to draw a rough picture of what happened.
The other Heroes probably solved their problem by mobilizing their armed forces to punish evil as they did to Dave, whom I met a while ago.
However, now that the vigers memories had returned, they realized how wrong their methods were.
After all, what if they learned that powerful monsters would invade their vige next year?
Because the Heroes subjugated threats for them in the past, they now knew no proper solution to the iing danger other than hiring expensive mercenaries. After all, it had been instilled deep within them that they could do nothing on their own.
On the other hand, I taught the vigers how to fight, allowing them to survive on their own.
Both methods would have simr short-term results, but their long-term effects would be different.
Good for you.
Things turned out the way I wanted them to.
I made sure they would be able to ovee problems even without the help of Heroes.
Two hundred yearster, I witnessed the fruits of my hard work with my own eyes.
As a bonus, they even thanked me for it.
Even now, the vigers would wave at me weingly to express their gratitude every time we made eye contact.
I put all the puzzle pieces together.
Hmm
A feeling simr to a sense of aplishment, yet strangely different, wrapped around my body.
It felt wonderful, like the first time I fondled my cowardly wifes soft breasts. No words could describe it!
???A certain righteous divine being is enveloped in strange joy.???
???A certain righteous divine being defines a just providence.???
???A certain innocent goddesss eyes widen.???
???A certain god is watching quietly while eating popcorn.???
A god was a trivial existence that could take any shape or form, like Lanuvel.
Ever since I found out about that fact, I began considering the deities insignificant.
How I define them isnt wrong.
That firm confidence became the source and essence of my godhood.
Until recently, I was just a god of nature who absorbed the power of Pedonar and Parmael, both of which were birthed to by nature, with the help of my wife.
But not anymore.
I had redefined myself and ascended the ranks of gods once more.
I am a Hero.
???A certain righteous divine being makes a deration.???
Chapter 406 - [30th Round] My God…
Chapter 406 - [30th Round] My God
From Power to Providence.
Only words seemed to have changed on the surface, but there was a clear difference between the two.
Power was coercion.
It was insisting on others that my philosophy was right.
[Light and Darkness]
Just like how Lanuvel pushed others to believe in her adventures, I ruled time, space, light, and darkness with force.
I no longer had to do that now, however.
Gone were my days of using fabrication and incitement in the name of power. Henceforth, my reign was as absolute as it was factual.
Even if one didnt understand or ept it, it didnt change my set Providence.
The fact that I was a Hero was an unchanging truth, so I didnt need the permission or approval of a third party to be one.
Simply put, if the divine powers I had used soMagical Attack Power or higher, then Providence had 10 Prating Attack Power. Ignoring all shields, defenses, and resistances, it could pierce through my opponent directly and unconditionally!
???A certain god lets a certain innocent goddess choose the popcorn vor.???
???A certain innocent goddess is having trouble picking.???
???A certain innocent goddess decides to have the ck-bean vor.???
???A certain god starts popping popcorn.???
This chat window for deities could also be called someones Providence.
One would only hurt themselves trying to research, explore, or doubt it. After all, its existence was absolute.
100% pration
I liked it.
If I were to quantify Disco, whom I treated as dust, using game terms, she had 99.99999% defense and resistance.
Any attack made against her, no matter how strong, only left scratches.
But what about Providence?
Its offensive power was greatly reduced due to its interference with the greatws of nature, but all that mattered was that it couldnt be stopped.
No matter how high ones defense and resistance were, they would inevitably receive 10 damage.
In other words, Providence was a deadly force for those who had surpassed a certain level!
That was exactly why Id have to be more careful going forward as well.
If I were to get caught in someone elses Providence, I could be destroyed in one shot.
I dont have time for this.
I didnt intend for it to happen, but the gods who noticed the changes in me began to rush to the Fantasy dimension.
I couldnt rx and impress them, though.
???A certain innocent goddess ims to be quiet.???
???A certain god hands over ck-bean-vored popcorn.???
???A certain innocent goddess expresses her gratitude.???
???A certain innocent goddess praises a certain god for the popcorns deliciousness.???
???A certain god feels proud of himself.???
After the conversation between the two, other gods began to enter one after another.
???A certain dragon god is watching.???
???A certain rxed deity looks at a certain righteous divine being with interest.???
???A certain receptionist greets a certain righteous divine being by waving their hand.???
???A certain kind goddess feels awkward.???
?Embarrassment: I was trying to hide it somehow, but President Kang Han Soos Providence has spread out in all directions
Thank you so much for your hard work, Morality Teacher!
I got caught up in my unexpected growth, but it was okay. Illeana was around here anyway.
In addition, I gained confidence.
Now that I had a Providence of my own, I was certain that I would be able to join the Great Universe(Major League).
???A certain righteous divine being deres that everyone is banned from essing Fantasy.???
???A certain righteous divine being says hed hit anyone who vites it.???
I wasnt kidding.
???A certain evil spirit is using a certain righteous divine being of being evil.???
???A certain traitor timidly protests.???
???A certain rxed deity uses a certain righteous divine being of being petty.???
???A certain adversary snoops around.???
They abused their Providence to spy on and disrupt other gods private lives for free!
They were as bad as my high school ssmates who illegally downloaded and read novels and cartoons.
Nevertheless, I had nothing to be afraid of now.
[Hero]
I used Providence.
If it were weak, I would have hidden and worked quietly as before. Fortunately, it had be powerful enough to even block certain gods ess to this world.
Since I could do such a feat, I should be able to find an unruly colleague even with my eyes closed.
The Fantasy dimension was essentially a warehouse where I stored my enormous will and power.
Like the demon realm of the Restless Demonic God.
That was why I could see what was going on in it as if I was looking at my palm.
There she is.
With just a little effort, I found Illeana in the only clothing store in Parnar Vige.
Why was she in such a ce?
Its only natural for women to visit the clothing stores of tourist destinations, Han Soo
Is that so?
Kaisa didnt notice the changes that urred in me at all.
I couldnt me her, though.
She and I saw the world far too differently.
She couldnt see or feel anything rted to gods, including those loud messages from the Innocent Community.
This was kind of sad.
Only my cowardly wife can understand and empathize with my story
ng~?
As soon as I opened the door of the establishment, an elegant bell rang.
Inns, shops, bars, cksmiths
Wherever I went on the continent of Fantasy, most businesses hung small bells on their entrances doorframe to discourage and alert them of shoplifting.
It felt a little strange today, however.
The bell seemed new.
I presumed it was because the owner of this clothing store was in a rtionship during my first round.
Hello?
The shop owner was getting ready to weave new clothes in her workshop, and her daughter, the clerk, was measuring Illeanas body.
Was there even anything to measure?
I had been with her for a while before, so I knew she didnt like physical contact since it heightened her risk of getting caught.
That was why I couldnt exin what was happening before me, even as the only god of Fantasy.
Didnt she need to take her top off to measure her size?
Illeana had her chest measured with a tape measure, her arms outstretched, with her facing the doorway.
She turned around upon hearing the bell, immediately covering her chest the moment she saw me.
Wasnt it toote for that?
This rural clothing store only got few customers, and even among them, most were neighbors who grew up together, so they didnt bother building cubicles or partitions.
Illeana. Ive alreadypletely memorized what your shabby body and spine look like. If youre going to scream, you should find someone else.
Youve got to be joking!
Illeana, hiding behind her hanger, screamed.
I thought shed have a sickly expression since an evil teacher poisoned her, but she looked fine.
Did I worry for no reason?
You seem to be doing well.
Dont change the subject. My body is not shabby! Look!
She stepped away from the hanger.
I thought shed at least cover herself up since she was, after all, a woman. Instead, she proudly exposed her bare upper body.
Indifferently, I gazed at her, but I was soon astonished.
What? Your breasts
They were no longer t.
She wasnt even using high-level illusions or transformation techniques like her mother did.
Judging from their soft sway, I could already deduce they were real!
What kind of insane development was this?
My mother was right. After longing, hoping, and praying for this to happen for so long, it finally did!
The mulberries?
Would you like to touch them? Oh, no. Im a woman with high stature now. If you want to touch them, you need to get down on your knees and beg.
Is that behavior part of Elfheims genes? You two always get too excited no matter how things turn out.
Hmph! Youre a man, so you wouldnt know the bliss of not seeing my feet when I look down since theyre hidden by my breasts!
Youre right.
I had no idea what she was talking about at all.
You have no idea how amazing it is to wear a dress without a shoulder strap and not have to worry about it falling off or the feeling of pleasure when a clerk looks at me and says Ill look good in any clothes!
Uh What?
I couldnt care less. This wasnt why I was looking for her anyway.
I see youvee as well, Sword Princess!
What? Oh, Yes. It wasnt often, but weve shared a few adventures together. I heard you were poisoned, so Im d you look like youre in good health. Anyway, did I do something wrong? The way you look at me is a bit
At the time, I kept my silence since I thought Id only feel even more miserable, but I can say this clearly now. Of all my colleagues, you were the most annoying!
Thats
You keptining about how your bouncy breasts made it difficult to control your center of gravity, how they always caused your shoulders to stiffen, how they give you trouble breathing since theyre so huge your clothes keeppressing them. You even said they obscured your view when youre looking down, making your lower body vulnerable to attacks
That Im sorry.
I really hated that you keptining every time we were together, even more so now that Ive regained all my memories! If you thought I was beneath you, you were wrong! Im just as great with des as you are. After all, my mother told me that I had to be strong if I wanted to be a lovable wife like her.
You were deceived.
Illeana was so serious that she didnt want to interrupt, but she inadvertently spat words out.
Was that the end of her fuse?
Thats right! My mother told me to follow the right path when she actually tricked my father using fake breasts into marrying her!
Hey, Illeana?
Im not finished yet, so stay quiet, perverted Hero who only seeks Mon!
Her timing was such an art!
I had just be the perfect Hero through Providence.
However, with a few words, this elf downgraded me to a perverted Hero.
That caused quite the psychological blow.
???A certain evil spirit is chuckling.???
???A certain god diligently distributes popcorn.???
???A certain rxed deity appreciates this development.???
???A certain innocent goddess has taken a certain righteous divine being lightly.???
???A certain receptionist wipes a certain innocent goddesss tears with a handkerchief.???
???A certain innocent goddess sniffles and expresses her gratitude.???
The gods excitement-filled messages obscured my vision, driving me ever so close to insanity.
Illeanasints continued.
You alwaysin about your big breasts even though Heroes love them! But now, Im no longer inferior!
Are they real?
Yes! If you dont believe me, feel free to touch them! I dont want you to, but Ill give you special permission just for today!
What about the metal?
They turned into these new breasts.
My head began to hurt due to this unexpected setback in my grand ns.
Was that even possible?
Romantium.
A Fantasy metal whose characteristics changed ording to the owners emotions.
I had never used it myself, but ording to my cowardly wife, who had studied abroad, that was its special characteristic.
Purpose?
Gods weapon.
Romantium was verypatible with gods who had their own perfect philosophy.
It was for that reason that I was looking for it.
Let me check them for a second.
Oh my God, you perverted Hero! Usually, if the other person is confident like this, its reasonable to just trust them Ahhhn?! This is it! The feeling a man fondling my breasts!
Dont call me a pervert.
Now that my original n had gone awry, I became serious and irritated.
Hmm. I really couldnt determine for sure.
She was definitely no longer a perfectly t LCD monitor, though.
Ah! Be gentle! Youre making me feel both disgusted and pleased~!
As Fantasys one true God, I quickly scanned through Illeanas chest record.
And admitted it.
Huh. They really did turn into your breasts, but not all of them.
There was still romantium left in this ignorant elfs chest.
There was still hope left.
Chapter 407 - [30th Round] Mollansoft’s Owner
Chapter 407 - [30th Round] Monsofts Owner
As expected.
It felt a bit strange, but I pulled out Romantium from Illeanas chest.
What?!
Naturally, the pink, jelly-like object jutting out of her breasts shocked her.
Its okay.
My boobs
Dont worry about them. They wont revert to their old size.
The amount of Romantium Illeanas wish consumed was far too high.
5,000 in total
It was so inefficient that I shouldve just rmended stic surgery!
She chose the wrong ce to use the metal. It was like using sports cars on dirt roads. Their maximum potential couldnt be fully utilized.
Well, it wasnt like I knew much about Romantium anyway.
Such were the limits caused by ignorance.
Hmm. I dont know if this is a lot or a little.
Hence, I decided to collect the necessary information through the gods messages.
???A certain receptionist is looking for the owner of a navel.???
???A certain rxed deity checks his navel.???
???A certain god asks for the lost navels price.???
???A certain innocent goddess averts her attention.???
That didnt help.
If all they were going to do was keep driving me crazy, Id prefer it if they yed somewhere else instead.
???A certain god tells a certain righteous divine being hes half-hearted.???
Huh
Was this god conscientious, unlike the others?
He seemed to have watched my actions carefully while diligently popping popcorn for his friends.
Currently, I had a pure surplus resource of Romantium that hadnt been recorded anywhere in the Fantasy Institution.
Having already looked through the ledgers stored in the system, I no longer doubted it.
It was a treasure so valuable that even Director Parmael, who created this establishment for the production of Romantium, coveted so much she was willing to scam the schools investors for it.
It was about the size of a ping-pong ball.
Oh, no! Doesnt that mean my breasts are going to shrink that much?! Return them already, you wicked thief!
They havent be any smaller, so stop overreacting. And Im not a thief. This world and everything within it belongs to me.
I remember something I learned from the Heroes. 8th-grade syndrome. Youre like a middle schooler who took away someones precious heart while iming the as his.
I was currently with Kaisa, so I tried to move on as quietly as possible, but I thought I should teach her a lesson.
This time, with actions instead of words.
I decided to show it directly to her to make it easier to understand.
[Hero].
As ones divine power became more specialized, its versatility and functionality were naturally reduced, but mine had always had a high degree of freedom in the first ce.
For example, as the True Hero, I could summon colleagues indefinitely for as long as they were within Fantasy.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Hence, creating an army of big-breasted Illeanas in the blink of an eye was an easy feat for me.
Hey, what the hell is this
From the left, Illeana A, Illeana B, Illeana C, Illeana D. They all look the same, but they all have different breast sizes.
Ah?
Summoned as a Hero, I became the evil demon lords son-inw, inherited his family business, defeated the ugly goddess, and obtained her power. Im toozy to exin everything in detail, so ask your parentster instead. Ill send you to them as soon as Im done with this.
Illeana stared nkly at her clones standing still in a row as if showing the evolution of her breasts.
Kaisa, watching from the sidelines, also looked quite shocked.
Fortunately, by gaining the memories of their different fragments, the two learned of the parallel worlds existence.
Had they witnessed my powerpletely off-guard, they wouldve panicked.
I heard about this from Mistress Ssosia, but this is beyond my imagination
Now that you understand, off you go.
Where
sh!
Feeling toozy to answer, I immediately sent Illeana to Festival after finishing my business with her.
Such a task wouldve been hard to aplish in the past, but it was easier now that this world had be whole again.
I showed no hesitation.
Hey, Han Soo?
What is it?
If I bother you, will you banish me as well?
At Kaisas sharp question, I smirked involuntarily.
If she really bothered me, I would freeze the time around her instead of sending her away.
I wont.
As long as I was within Fantasy, I could turn anything I could think of into reality.
It wouldnt even be a problem to create armies upon armies of humans for me who could copy the sun.
I only avoided doing so purely to prevent myself from getting addicted to my own power.
What about our honeymoon?
Dont worry. Now that Ive retrieved this, we can now start enjoying ourselves again.
Whats that luscious pink substance? Is it really so great that Han Soo, who can clone anyone, considers it important?
Yes, but ask questionster. We dont have much longer.
Even if Ssosia could wlessly distract Disco and the monroids, Monsoft wouldve noticed already.
I was running out of time.
Using the Romantium wasntplicated.
Just as Illeana prayed earnestly to enhance her breasts, I only needed to concentrate on what I wanted to get it.
A powerful weapon. Transform into a weapon suitable for my Providence!
Normally, it would be fused with another metal to create an alloy, but I did something else entirely.
Gulp.
I popped the ping-pong-ball-sized Romantium in my mouth and swallowed it.
???A certain god is astonished.???
???A certain swordsman is flustered.???
???A rxed deity is dumbfounded.???
???A god bes worried sick.???
Feeling perfectly fine, I began to think about what else I could need now that I was capable of copying anything that existed in Fantasy.
There was only one answer.
I needed to mark the real me with something that couldnt be copied even with my power, which had turned into Providence.
[Hero]
The Romantium I just swallowed slithered through my body, covering my bones like armor.
That was crucial.
If I were to leave it like this, it would still be able to function as a normal skeletal system like Illeanas chest.
Hence, I had to preserve the features of this metal, which changed in nature and intensity ording to its owners feelings.
I was yet to find out the results, but I was certain that my body could no longer be copied even by gods, thus enhancing the value of its uniqueness.
Whats going on, Han Soo?
I dont know.
Huh?
I really dont know.
Yet theres nothing I can do about it right now. To discover how much I have changed, Ill have to test it inbat.
I see.
Lets go.
Another work?
That depends on how you see it. After all, even ying around can be perceived as a job under the right circumstances. So, are youing?
I reached my hand out to Kaisa.
Holding it, she answered teasingly.
You ask really useless questions during our honeymoon.
Haha!
I leaped into space with Kaisa.
It was time to end this war.
*****
Wheres your conscience, handsome husband?
Hmmm?
Did you just ask me to do such a difficult task so you can take your other wife out on a date?
Ahem!
While Ssosia had been dragging the negotiations with Disco and the monroids, I had been enjoying a leisurely tea party on Moon A. Naturally, when she discovered what I had been up to, she screamed bitterly.
Well, when interpreted from her biased perspective, I was now definitely in a situation where I had no right to say or do anything, even if she were to p me on the cheek.
So, how did it go?
Here, take it.
What?
Its a gift.
[Hero]
I appointed my wife, who was usually full of ugly jealousy, as my first apostle.
H-huh?!
As you probably can already tell, my cowardly wife, I have be a high-ranking god that not even my father-inw canpare to!
Im the first!
I thought it had calm down these days, but her tendency to be particrly obsessed with the position of first apparently remained as strong as ever.
Rather than bing an apostle of a certain righteous divine being, did she just like the fact that she became the first apostle regardless of whose apostle she was?
The values pursued by people differed per individual, so I decided not to judge her.
At least Ssosia, pleased with herself, seemed to have forgiven me now.
Then, Han Soo, am I second?
Wait a second! Han Soo?! Did you just call my husband Han Soo?!\''
Yes. Is there a problem?
Lots of it!
Kaisa poured gasoline on top of the hideous mes of jealousy that the first apostle position had almost extinguished.
As I feared, Ssosia confronted her immediately.
But her opponent this time was also formidable.
Why dont you call him that way too, then? I wont stop you, even if I have the right to. After all, ording to the order in which he started dating us, I came first.
I know that!
Whats your problem?
Youre despicable!
How?
You call my husbands name so sweetly without even blinking! That alone is strange already! Even if I try, I cant bring myself to do it
Han Soo~?
Coward! Seducing my husband with such a sly tactic is cheating! Compete with your abilities!
But this is also a skill
As soon as they met, my two wives shed spectacrly.
Since we were in a situation where we had to deal with Monsoft almost immediately, they quickly calmed down, but I already knew they were bound to have a second round.
???A certain innocent goddess tells a certain righteous divine being not to fight.???
???A certain innocent goddess hates harems.???
???A certain innocent goddess thinks forming harems is a bad idea.???
???A certain innocent goddess feels very ufortable.???
Even the Innocent Goddess didnt like my familys rtionship.
I couldnt help it, however.
I was afraid of my mothers tennis racket, so I wanted to introduce her to only one daughter-inw, but living in this savage world known as Fantasy, it didnt turn out the way I nned.
Now then! It was time to begin negotiations in earnest!
President, is that you? Youve changed a lot since thest time we saw each other
Of course. True Heroes grow stronger in times of crisis, after all.
???A certain divine messenger is startled by someones change.???
???A certain righteous divine being acts in a prideful manner.???
The gap between us had grown wider since thest time we met.
To me, Disco was now no more than a speck of dust and no different from Citizen A of Fantasy.
She would probably be closer to Ssosia and Kaisa in terms of power, now that they had be my disciples.
I admit. You now deserve to meet my master.
Oh?
Was her boss finallying?
However, I had to tell her something in advance. After all, having someone powerful walk into my territory wouldnt be good for either party.
It would be best to give up at this point, Disco, or youd just be wasting your time. After all, Ive already eaten all the Romantium you desire.
That is for the master to decide.
Then hurry up and tell him.
He already heard all of it.
What?
I am his secretary and pet. Ive never left my masters side for even a single moment.
What?
For your sake, Id suggest presenting yourself to the great being with a reverent heart.
All the Monroids around us knelt in Discos direction.
As soon as they did, their boss appeared between her breasts, peeking out of her ck deep-cut dress.
Hey, thats!
Hoho! You most likely dont know me since youre but a new god, so allow me to kindly introduce myself. I am the Great Mons grandson and the chairman of Monsoft.
The rainbow-colored slime fluttered in Discos arms.
???Mon???
???Corps???
???Luck???
As soon as I saw him, I was at a loss for words.
He had three providences!
Even though he was just an apostle, he still overwhelmed me.
Wasnt this dangerous?
However, at that moment, I, a Hero, so sure of his victory, fell into chaos
Mon?
A great being emerged from my cowardly wifes breasts.
Master!
So this was what it felt like to be reinforced by thousands upon thousands of powerful beings.
Mon?! Bewildered, Monsofts chairman mumbled violently.
Chapter 408 - [30th Round] Mollan Documentary
Chapter 408 - [30th Round] Mon Documentary
Mon!
Mon?
Mon!
Mon.
Mon.
Master Mon and the Monsoft Chairman began to talk in earnest aftering down from the arms of two beauties.
I wanted to listen to their probably informative conversation, but I couldnt understand them since they used thenguage of a very high-level race.
I decided to ask Ssosia instead.
Do you know what theyre talking about, cowardly wife?
No. I apologize, dear husband, but Im not a slime, am I?
What did you even do when you went to study abroad?
I already told you that before. After graduating from the Department of Computer Science at Mon Academy, one of the most prestigious universities in the universe, I obtained a second-level creative engineer certificate on the El Mondo.
When did that happen? Hmm. Since you were younger then
Wait! Its rude to guess the age of ady! All you need to know is that the skills I learned while studying abroad have been incorporated into the 4th curriculum of the Fantasy System.
Then it hasnt been that long.
Right. Im still young and fresh!
Her adolescencesting for hundreds of thousands of years was questionable, but I decided not to think about it anymore.
My wife was a young demon who had only been out of college for thousands of years.
From a humans perspective, that was an insane and unbelievable figure.
What about Master Mon?
I already talked to you about this before.
I didnt listen properly back then.
Oh. Well, a friend at the Mon Academys dorm gave it to me as a graduation gift since their kind acts as a guardian talisman to protect their owner from and with the Mon Fleet. Youve seen how the stupid First Hero stopped attacking before.
Yeah.
I remembered almost being killed by Fugitive Seniors surprise, but I was able to survive with the dignity of Master Mon.
If you harass a Mon, the Mon Fleet will be dispatched. The Monroid Corps you were just fighting against would destroy not only the culprit but also their itself in such cases.
Woah.
They suddenly became terrifying.
Lanuvel bullied Master Mon in the past, after all.
At that time, if the benevolent Master Mon didnt put up with it, the Monroid Corps would have destroyed Fantasy in my second round.
Ssosia continued.
Still, in El Mondo, there are many households that raise Mons. I didnt have one since I was a redneck. Moreover, Mon breeding was strictly prohibited, so I couldnt get it other than from official stores. However, it was also forbidden to sell them recklessly
Get to the point.
Uh My dorm friend raised a Mon and gave it to me as a gift. Im talking about it now because its already a thing of the past, but it was clearly illegal.
At that time, a monroid interrupted our conversation.
It wasnt illegal, Lady Ssosia.
Huh?
Greetings. Im a brave Mon Pilot. ording to human culture, I am the 57th direct descendant of Mon No. 314.
Hey. Thats a prestigious family.
Ssosia nodded, seemingly finding it interesting.
I was in the same boat.
A brave Mon.
What bothered me quite a bit was that he was a Monroid pilot.
Where are you?
In a Mon Ship. we are remotely controlling the 1st squad of the 47th Rural Border Posts 173rd Infantry Regiment.
This is only one squad?
I wasnt familiar with modern military terminology, but I was once the emperor of one of Fantasys empires.
I knew how small a squad was, at least.
No, this is a battalion. A lot of troops have been sent to deal with you. The scale that I can remotely operate simultaneously is limited to 100,000. There arent many Monroid pilots around, unfortunately
His voice was so t that I couldnt tell if it was humility or deception. Even if there were only ten of them, they could probably destroy Earth within an hour
Hey, Pilot. Since you interrupted our conversation, please trante what theyre talking about over there.
You wont understand even if I did.
What? What makes you say that?
Because you, a wretched redneck, wont be able toprehend the ecology and dynamism of Mons.
Try me.
Fine. The root of all Mons is divided into two main parts. The Emperor and the Pope. You can think of them as science and magic. The Emperors people, which makes up about 90% of Mons, keep other races as pets. The Popes descendants, on the other hand, live as pets of other races. However, blessed by the Martial God, theyre given excellent overall abilities.
Huh. I couldnt even understand half of it.
What about you?
Im a descendant of the Emperor.
Then do you also own a pet?
Of course.
The monroid answered, disying a hologram.
Pop!
This beautiful woman?
Yes. Shes an Erof named Cresha Celebris, and will already be 65 years old this year, a childbearing age. Born from my predecessors pet, even if there are some quirky corners, she does make me pretty cute.
I can see that.
One would look cute no matter what they looked like if they were in the arms of a big-breasted elf!
Erof.
ording to Ssosias exnation, their race was closely rted to the elves living in Fantasy.
Their lifespan was shorter at around 1,000 years, but their overall physical abilities and fertility were quite excellent
Elf King Elfheim wouldve weed them with open arms if he learned of their existence.
Can I finish my exnation?
Sure.
All Mons are equal, but we pride ourselves on our ancestors and elders being superior to any other race. Mons are categorized in this way.
Hmm.
Did they ssify their kind by age rather than ability?
It was surprisingly primitive for a science-based civilization.
As I thought about it, the brave Mon pilot staying in the pretty Erofs chest continued to speak.
As the 57th generation Mon, I have fifty-seven ancestors, including His Majesty, the founder.
The chairman over there?
Having three Providences, he was a monster.
Yes. Born to the 0th generation Emperor, he became the most dignified Mon and built apany in charge of military supplies for the Mon Corps. Considering that the Mon Pope belongs to that same first generation as well, he is a heaven among the heavens.
There doesnt seem to be a lot of them.
I dont know the exact number since thats ssified information, but it doesnt exceed hundreds.
Hundreds of monsters like him live in this universe?
I lost my fighting spirit.
Looking at the expression on your face, I am proud that you, as a redneck, seem to have understood the greatness of the Monsoft Chairman after hearing my exnation.
What about Master Mon?
Oh, the Mon your partner raised? ording to their conversation, hes from the 3rd generation. For reference, the 3rd generation of the Mon Emperor serves as our Division Commander.
Woah.
But hes a descendant of the Pope, not the Emperor. Our society treats the 0th generation Emperor and the 1st generation Pope as progenitors on equal footing. In other words, hes on the same level as the Corps Commander, who came from the Emperors second generation.
Thats a shame.
Based on the Mon Society, Master Mon seemed to be at a slight disadvantage against the Monsoft Chairman.
I was beginning to worry.
Im not done yet, though. Just as I am proud to be the descendant of the bravest Mon No. 314, we are treated differently depending on our ancestors.
Huh?
It seems the Headquarters have finished identifying him a while ago. ording to the results Oh my God! He appears to be from the third generation of the Mon Pope himself!
You mean hes the Popes grandson?
Yes, yes. A direct descendant of the Holy Father Your wifes Mon is no different from the sessor of a legend
I see!
He was Master Mon, after all.
I felt something extraordinary from him the moment I first touched him. I didnt know all the details, but that seemed to have been caused by his very noble status.
The Mon Fleet Command has reached a decision. Parmael, the previous Director of the Fantasy Institution, separated one of the most sacred Mons from his owner, Ssosia, and persecuted him for hundreds of years, causing him to live a difficult life. Since such an atrocity is absolutely uneptable for the Mon Society, Parmael and her rtives will be sentenced to third-degree permanent imprisonment. Moreover, her will be destroyed.
Huh? Wait.
No, keep listening. He continued. However, ording to the sacred Mons extremely stubborn will, all sins should be limited to the Director alone. Hence, only Parmael has been sentenced to second-degree permanent imprisonment.
How are the third and second degrees different?
The former is the severest punishment for those who have tortured Mon for a prolonged period, and thetter is punishment for those who have murdered them.
I see.
However, Hippolia had swallowed up and destroyed Director Parmael already.
That fate might actually be better for her than permanent imprisonment, which would make her suffer forever.
Did that mean everythings going to end in vain?
No. Punishment has also been imposed on his owner, Ssosia, for neglecting one of the holiest Mons needs and maintenance.
Me?!
My cowardly wife, who was just listening quietly to our conversation, suddenly freaked out.
She looked like she had been caught by the cops after neglecting and abandoning her pet.
Thats right.
Whats my punishment?
There were times when even Ssosia couldnt help but be afraid, huh?
You are to visit El Mondo regrly and attend private meetings with your extremely divine Mon.
Huh?
That message came from the one who sold him to you.
I see That friend
Sassia blushed and sniffled.
???A certain innocent goddess is touched.???
???A certain receptionist feels sympathetic.???
???A certain rxed deity appreciates the verdict.???
It was like
The fierce war for the fate of Fantasy was ending in vain because of a nonsensical negotiation.
*****
Mon~
Mon~
The Monsoft Chairman jumped into Discos arms and left, and Divine Master Mon returned to Ssosias bosom.
Mon! Thank you!
Mon Mon~
My cowardly wife hugged and rubbed her cheeks against him.
I wouldve been offended if I were in his ce, but he mercifully put up with her absurdity.
Everythings finally calming down.
Master Mon single-handedly saved Fantasy from one of the greatest crises it had ever faced.
To confirm the death of Parmael, now branded a criminal, Hippolia took a soul test since she was the one who absorbed her. Nevertheless, she passed with flying colors.
We could now enjoy true peace
My friend.
What is it?
I looked back at Noebius, currently in his dragon form, with love and respect.
I didnt care what anyone said. He contributed the most to this war.
I know it doesnt matter to you since I promised to save Erdanti, whos currently under the First Heros possession, but if I had only shown Master Mon to them from the beginning, this fight wouldnt have happened. Im sorry.
My friend!
A promise is a promise.
Thank you.
Thats why were going to save your lover, and were going to do it right now!
I appreciate that, but you seem to be in a hurry.
Of course. Promises are important.
I needed a ce to release this indescribable stress.
Chapter 409 - [31st Round] Elfheim Family
Chapter 409 - [31st Round] Elfheim Family
The Fantasy and Festival creatures that I managed werergely divided into two.
Real and illusions.
Bluntly put, their category depended on whether or not they could fully exist outside of my dimension.
Naturally, they were real if they could.
However, this criterion was meaningless for the vast majority, considering they had never even gone out of thes atmosphere, let alone the dimension.
But
It doesnt matter.
It was like finding out that ones wife, whom they thought was unique, was actually just one of the originals clones that slept with other men.
If they really loved her, it would be quite unbearable.
I met Erdanti, the Divine Dragon Queen, when the timelines messed up due to Parmaels divine power.
Noebius, who decided he couldnt keep wasting time, disappeared into human society.
It was at this time that I also met the First Hero, the culprit behind all tragedies.
Hence, my meeting with Erdanti was inevitable at that time, considering she was already active as the First Saintess.
The rest were history.
She began to develop feelings for Noebius, while Fugitive Senior set up a trap out of jealousy, turning him into a public enemy.
In response, my best friend killed countless dragons and adventures. However, exhausted, Parmael captured him alive
It was quite tragic.
This might just be caused by my useless regret, and it might already be toote, but I want to hold on to even the faintest hope and tiniest possibility.
Friend! Lets go!
Thank you.
I should be the one thanking you, my dear friend!
However, traversing the universe with willpower alone wouldnt be easy!
It was just that vast!
Is this the correct address, Ssosia?
Yes, it is.
I didnt even need to result to Monsofts power over information to find Fugitive Seniors home address. I just needed to use the spaces search engine, and it immediately popped up.
Macrocosm A, Gxy B, Sr System C, D, Continent E, Region F, City G
How could I locate him with this?
I already encountered a problem just from trying to find the macrocosm alone.
Seriously, how are we supposed to get there
Dont worry about that.
S-e-e-e-e-ex!
The stingrays obscene cry echoed majestically.
I will show you the power of space steeds that only sessful wives possess, handsome husband. If you show it the address, itll take you there immediately.
Really?
Could this mat really be such a convenient sports car?
Itll be faster to see it for yourself.
S-e-e-e-ex~
The space stingray, with brightly shining eyes, looked at what was typed down on my cowardly wifes smartphone.
Oh?!
I found out thatbeling it a must-have item for sessful wives wasnt an exaggeration.
Once it had scanned an address, it would automatically take its rider to it no matter where it was in the universe.
It was truly the ideal vehicle.
Then, Ssosia, Ill be borrowing your stingray.
Huh? What about me?
I didnt know what to say.
My first apostle wasnt aware of it, but I promised to take Kaisa out on a date to make it up to her.
If I were to take my cowardly wife with me, I would be punished.
Kaisa
Unfortunately, Pedonar killed the real version of her. Since she was just a clone now, she couldnt go out of this dimension.
But I couldnt say it straight out.
I need you to look after Fantasy.
What are two guys alone going to do, though?
Dont mock us. Noebius is definitely neutral, and I am the Righteous Hero.
There was nothing wrong with two brothers hanging out! None of it went against any morals, conscience, or principles!
The fact that youreing is exactly why Im suspicious of you
Dont worry. Im a Hero! I am worthy of your trust.
I brought peace to my wives since only then could my territory be at peace as well.
Moreover, if I left them as it was, myst years wouldve been the same as Fugitive Seniors.
Well, have a safe trip.
Pouting, Ssosia passed over the stingray.
I will wait for Your Majestys return, counting every passing day that I dont get to spend with you.
Kaisa looked at me with her piercing eyes.
Her spine was tingling
Mon~!
Oh! Thank you for seeing me off, Master Mon!
I was just an ignorant being before, but now I know that Master Mon was the noblest slime in the universe.
While others didnt recognize his greatness, I immediately noticed it as soon as we first met.
Mon
Perhaps out of shyness, he returned to hiding between Ssosias breasts.
It was time for me to leave as well.
We wont take long. Lets go, stingray.
S-e-e-e-e-ex!
Your cries are as obscene as always.
My heart started beating fast.
Freedom after 200 years.
Upon causing all the worlds to merge, the power supply Fantasy needed was greatly reduced.
[Hero]
[Hero]
I appointed Ssosia and Kaisa, my apostles, to provide the divine power my territory needed in my stead.
With the maintenance cost of my dimension significantly lowered from hundreds of thousands to mere tens, what was impossible in the past now became possible.
Oh thats right.
On the way, I stopped by Festival, where another one of my wives resided
Sex?
Shh.
S-e-e-e-e-e-ex~
The Righteous Hero rode the stingray out of Fantasy!
*****
I didnt think youd fulfill your promise right away, my friend, but you actually left immediately after finishing everything that had to be done.
Hahaha.
I didnt know it would be like this either.
I didnt want to say, Ill love all my wives equally! like Fugitive Senior, but it was only proper for me to provide them with basic safety measures, at the very least.
If someone invaded and took my wives while I was away
Then it would be hard to bear.
Retribution!
Retribution!
When I saw my twin daughters, I felt like I didnt really need toe here after all.
[Retribution]
[Retribution]
The romantium I had trouble finding was only the size of a ping-pong ball, but my children had one the size of a pillow, even though it was 69% alloy.
If one were to get hit by that soft-looking romantium pillow, they would be disintegrated down to the veryst fragment of their existence, leaving nothing behind.
I didnt know what happened to this world.
???A certain innocent goddess looks proudly at the twins.???
???A certain god expresses gratitude.???
???A certain innocent goddess smiles broadly.???
All the other deities left after eating popcorn, but this innocent goddess kept following me for some reason.
???A certain god wishes for the happiness of his descendants.???
???A certain righteous divine being frowns.???
???A certain god ims to be shameless and weak.???
???A certain righteous divine being pretends to be troubled.???
A certain god appeared upon meeting the unfortunate Elfheim family on the Festival.
Based on his messages, he seemed to be their ancestor.
That aside
Mother! How can you leave me alone to flirt with father?! You have no idea how many times I traveled through Fantasy to find you?!
Oh? Why?
What do you mean why?!
Illeana, why are you still looking for me despite how old you are? You shouldve focused your time on finding a man and bing independent.
I was worried about you, and thats all you have to say?!
My ignorant daughter. You shouldnt take your frustration of having your man stolen from you on your mom.
Oh, forget it!
Hmm. It was very peaceful.
Elfheim seemed unwilling to stop the argument between his wife and daughter.
He was far too busy, after all.
Selenis, Selvenus. Why dont you y with your powerless grandfather?
Grandpa is weak!
Right! Too weak!
Hahaha! Im beyond grateful that my granddaughters, both strong and healthy, are taking the time to worry about me!
Grandpa is amazing.
Right. Really great.
Thats your grandfathers only strength! Now, listen. Among the Heroes who gathered this time, there were those who wanted to create a harem of elves. That wouldnt have been a problem if not for theints of the parents and children they abandoned.
Are they strong?
If theyre strong, I will fight them.
I dont know. It remains unclear to me if the rumors about them are exaggerated or understated since theyre Heroes. However, I do have their names: Zeus, Sieg, Lilith, Shiva.
???A certain innocent goddess wants the harem creators to be punished.???
???A certain innocent goddess provides full support.???
Whoosh!
I felt the pillow the twins hugged bing so powerful that I started worrying that they would be capable of breaking Festival itself into fragments.
Ive got a long way to go.
Having the support of one of the three most powerful deities in the universe was definitely on a different level.
The Monsoft Chairman and my daughters
They were obviously just apostles, but they were still stronger than most gods.
Id have to be more powerful as well to avoid getting left behind by my younger daughters.
Elfheim looked back at me.
Haha! Did you enjoy the night you spent with my daughter, Hero? Her body might be weak, but she is rich in size!
Do you really think those are the right words to say after treating your son-inw like an invisible person for an entire day?
Hahaha! You broke my heart a little when you sent mischievous Heroes here. Its like throwing garbage in the very home your daughters had cleaned Anyway! Haha!
Just hang in there for a bit.
A bit? Then I trust youll resolve this within a hundred years.
Sure.
If I were still a human, I wouldve desperately tried to solve it within a year.
Although it wasnt as much as the other elves since he had been tainted by human culture, Elfheim was also very generous with time.
Be careful, Hero. His voice grew serious.
What?
While you were busy all night producing my third grandchild, Noebius and I spoke. Be careful around who youre going to go up against.
Is he that dangerous?
Although he has many ws due to his human nature, the First Hero is like an onion in terms of strength and fate. Since the Goddess of Luck always favors him, hell keeping no matter how many times you peel him off.
Hmm
I took his advice into consideration.
In particr, the word luck, which was deeply rted to the universes favor, was seriously annoying.
Now that I had be too strong, I no longer had that favor.
Hence, luck would extremely likely be a major variable in our uing battle.
S-e-e-e-ex?
Alright. Its time for us to go.
Goodbye, dad!
Come again, dad!
I promised my twin daughters I would visit them soon as they saw me off.
I hoped theyd swing their pillow gently. Otherwise, Festival might break while they were trying to catch the Heroes trying to create harems.
Okay. Ill see you soon.
Are we finally leaving? Noebius, who had been waiting for a day, asked in a sharp tone.
Dont you feel good aftering back to your hometown, my friend?
This ce brings up so many bad memories that they overwhelm the good ones I have.
I see.
I didnt even know what to say. It was wrong of me to bring it up.
S-e-e-e-ex!
Okay. Stop begging me.
The Righteous Hero set out to save his friends wife!
S-e-e-ex~
Were we really that close?
I thought the location was tens of light-years away, but we arrived here ten minutes after the stingray screamed for departure.
Pce.
As its name suggested, Fugitive Senior turned this whole into a pce for him and his harem.
And surprisingly
So youve finallye, cheeky junior. I see you didnt cowardly bring Mon today.
Fugitive Senior was standing outside to meet us instead of sitting in his throne room.
How did he know?
I am not like some innocent goddess.
???A certain restless demonic godughs loudly.???
I could tell just by looking at him.
He was powerful.
It would be better for me if I were to assume abat stance before he could.
[Hero]
I felt sorry for him, but our battle would be over in an instant.
Is that Providence?
Oh? Can you see it?
You shouldnt underestimate me, junior.
[Undefeated]
[Luck]
He used his absurd divine powers.
Are you really an onion?
I didnt want to use my hypocritical grandfathers power even if it meant my death, but I cant help it. It seems I might actually just die here.
Are you talented?
Could this really be called my talent?
I couldnt have be this strong in such a short time without my inws, so no. I dont think so.
No. Youre just ignorant of it.
I couldnt speak.
The fight that I thought would end swiftly turned out to be surprisingly interesting.
At that time, Fugitive Senior made a deration.
If youre truly talented, junior, youll meet your end here.
No. Ill win.
Then weve reached an impasse.
Bang!
I responded to my seniors words with a surprise attack, thus marking the beginning of our battle!
Chapter 410 - [31st Round] Dog-like Philosophy
Chapter 410 - [31st Round] Dog-like Philosophy
Faan-
Pop!
My surprise attack failed.
I threw a punch filled with my sense of justice, but I had to retreat due to the sudden twist of time and space.
What is this?
I didnt know how such a sudden urrence was possible without a ck hole.
An unprecedented natural disaster broke my expectation of gaining an overwhelming victory through my surprise attack.
[Undefeated]
[Luck]
The divine powers Fugitive Senior possessed probably caused it.
Haha! My juniors really powerful, as I thought. If not for my [Luck], your surprise attack wouldve already caused my defeat.
Whats the principle behind it?
Its exactly what its name suggests. Now that Ive activated my grandfathers power, I can no longer lose. I can just hold on, and Ill win by sheer chance.
What
Fugitive Senior disclosed how his ability worked to me like a third-rate viin, which was amazing in itself since it showed how confident he was in winning.
[Undefeated].
Quite literally, the inability to lose.
It was far more unreasonable and fraudulent than other divine powers.
Ill put that to the test.
Now that my surprise attack had failed, nothing was stopping me from exerting my full power in earnest!
Monstar.
It served as my weapon, but since it hadnt been long since I returned to active duty as the MAX-ss Hero, I didnt wield it myself.
Bluntly speaking, I hadnt mastered it enough to maximize its full potential
Instead, I imbued it with my surplus divine power.
Ah, thats right, Fugitive Senior. Im now the owner of Nucleon.
I know I ran away, but dont call me Fugitive Senior! Ive told you that before!
Haha! Fugitive Senior! Fugitive Senior!
The First Hero created Nucleon in preparation for escaping Demon Lord Pedonar.
It was great on its own, but in addition to that, I had Monstar, which had swallowed eight famous swords.
Holy Sword Automania of the Central Continent.
Holy Sword Haymon of the Eastern Continent.
Holy Sword Monpis of the Western Continent.
Sword Moncoin of the Southern Continental.
Holy Sword Monrod of the Northern Continent.
Holy Demon de Swordmaster.
Celestial Runelord Sword.
Elemental Sword Endymion.
Fantasys best weapons.
The monroids swordsmanship, which easily nullified such a powerful armament, proved out of the question.
No, it also destroyed them several times. I just didnt notice it earlier.
Such was the power of a God!
Humans could never stand it.
Shuuuusshhhh!
Upon absorbing my divine power to the fullest, my weapons de began to rain down from the sky.
Thats!
Upon witnessing the inevitable armageddon about to crash down on his, Fugitive Seniors movements became faster.
Ting ting ting
However, his swordsmanship skills had be dull and pathetic, having spent more time holding the breasts and buttocks of women than the hilts of swords.
Regardless, he was still holding on quite well.
The reason was simple.
? Race: Chaos Revolutionary Human
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
?Skills: Divinity GGG, Dark Energy GGG, Swordsmanship GGG, Stamina GGG, Fortitude GGG, Defense GGG, Resistance GGG, Evasion GGG, Immunity GGG, Justice GGG, Love GGG, Friendship GGG, Energy GGG, Incitement GGG, Fabrication GGG, Chaos GGG, Destruction GGG, Oblivion GGG, Immortal GGG
? Status: Blessing, Protection, Saintess,
Holy Sword, Holy Grail, Holy Relic, Storage
His stats were a feast of GGG-rank skills, which Goddess Parmael gave to defeat Demon Lord Pedonar.
I should take care of that first.
Ill be confiscating those, senior.
What?
Who do you think is the junior in front of you?
? Race: Chaos Revolutionary Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Unemployed (Experience: 110%)
? Skills: Chaos GGG, Energy GGG
? Status: Saintess, Holy Sword, Holy Grail, Holy Relic,
Storage
I couldnt remove his race since he earned it himself rather than receiving it from the system, much like his possessions. I also retrieved Protection and Blessing, but the rest, including Saintess Erdanti, originally belonged to him.
However, aside from that, I retracted all of his levels and skills.
Except for Energy and Chaos.
Those two broke out of my control andpletely assimted with Fugitive Senior.
That would mean he had mastered it perfectly.
That aside
Hey! What is this?!
Having lost all of his convenient skills, including GGG-rank Swordsmanship and evasion, he started panicking.
Haha! Your junior has seeded in bing the president of Fantasy!
What I feared has be a reality Dont attack while were talking! You dont even adhere to universal basic manners!
You can talk as much as you want once youve gone to the afterlife.
Confiscating his stats didnt affect my divine power all that much. I couldnt care less about the additional 50,000 to my 10,000,000,000,000 total amount of divine power.
The same couldnt be said for my senior, however. Upon losing such a measly amplification, his movements became noticeably slower.
He was now no different from being the perfect depiction of azy man!
Did you have to go this far? His expression became horribly contorted.
I dont think you have the right toin, considering you attempted to take my life.
As I expected, he could no longer block every attack.
Just like how I, having briefly retired, was beaten by myself when I was still on active duty, Fugitive Seniors skills had be far too rusty since all he did was sit on his throne, pursuing politics and harems for quite a long time.
That much was within my predictions.
Thats strange.
However, despite being weakened by about a hundredfold due to the loss of his abilities, he still managed to hold on desperately.
I knew how that was possible, of course.
Jig jig jig
I wasnt moving as well as I could since earlier. It was almost as if someone was interfering with my will.
Losing focus for even just a moment made me run wild, making it hard for me to control myself.
What was this?
???A certain innocent goddess says its a secret.???
???A certain restless demonic god disagrees.???
???A certain restless demonic god says its because of his genes.???
???A certain innocent goddess is proud.???
???A certain restless demonic god whistles and throws a durian.???
???A certain innocent goddess covers her face with her pillow.???
Gics?
The [Luck] that Fugitive Senior spoke of seemed to mean this.
Swish, swish, swish
Indeed, he was avoiding all the Monstars falling from the sky with a miracle-like coincidence.
Was that possible?
You cant keep up that forever, can you?
However
Fugitive Seniors movements, which I couldnt even see anymore since he was buried amid the storm of Monstars, gradually improved.
His skills were developing so tantly it was impossible not to notice.
Haaaaa!
Ting ting ting
He blocked all of the des raining from above with a Holy Sword covered in so many cumbersome decorations it looked like a formal dress.
Eventually, he even gained the opportunity tounch an attack against me.
Huh!
He didnt act like Fugitive Senior anymore.
Gods Apostle.
As soon as he utilized that position, he became apletely different annoying monster.
Or was he just abat genius?
Like Alex, he might be the kind that grew stronger when risking their lives in fierce battles.
Either way
I stopped attacking, having no desire to be the instructor that developed Fugitive Seniors skills.
Rather, I needed to find a definite way to end this farce swiftly.
As I looked for it, I decided to refrain fromunching meaningless attacks.
Whew Like I said, Junior, you can never defeat me for as long as I have this divine power. Not only Demon Lord Pedonar, but many other gods looked down on me and challenged me, but they all suffered a devastating defeat.
Siiiiih
The small wounds on his body healed quickly, most likely reaching that level without the systems skill assistance.
He grew stronger fighting against me.
That ridiculous growth of yours reminds me of novels protagonists.
I had no intention of arguing with Fugitive Senior, but now it seemed I had no choice but to find a clue or a breakthrough using social methods.
I still had plenty of energy, but what if, and only if, he survived my onught and evolved rapidly in the process?
I would have no countermeasures against him then.
It was like dealing with cockroaches that were immune to pesticides
This is my lineage.
Awesome.
My junior might have felt offended or indolent by my harem, but I take pride in it. Its the only existence I earned through hard work.
Effort?
Yes. Training like everyone else is meaningless to me, who finds putting my skills into practice once far more beneficial than training a hundred times. Such long periods can be used better for other, more pressing matters.
Its the opposite for you.
As he said, using skills in real-life situations was indeed better than training, although perhaps not by a hundred folds.
Still, tomit to a battle that could potentially lead to ones death, they had to prepare themselves through training first. Otherwise, theyd be easy to kill.
I wont die.
Ah
He truly was the main character of a novel!
He even fought with the confidence that he could never be killed.
Reckless actions and challenges were nothing more than a routine for him, considering his safety would never bepromised.
The difference such a concept could bring was immense.
For example, in a role-ying game, a hero character could thoughtlessly challenge a dangerous dungeon since they would be resurrected even if they died.
But what if the said character were to be deleted upon death?
Their yer would never try to do anything extremely dangerous until they were thoroughly prepared.
Ill be honest. For me, adventure is the journey of finding a new woman.
???A certain restless demonic god gives a thumbs up.???
???A certain innocent goddess grows very ufortable.???
The two deities showed opposing reactions to Fugitive Seniors absurd deration.
Whats that?
Undefeated and Luck dont even help me with dating. There are quite a few that I can achieve through hard work, but what gives me the greatest sense of aplishment is love.
Huh
That was such terrible reasoning.
Or was I just envious?
A beauty with a fiance, a beauty with a husband, a beauty who has a crush on another man, a beauty who is in love. I had challenged and conquered every type of woman out there.
Doesnt that just make you an asshole?
???A certain innocent goddess who nods in agreement.???
???A certain restless demonic god presses sympathy.???
They should just be quiet. Even without their ruckus, I already felt like my head was going to explode due to Fugitive Senior.
The person I thought would end as easily as an extra was actually fated to be the main character. Even hearing his dog-like philosophy made me very upset.
I dont need you to understand.
That is truly heroic.
True Heroes didntpromise with injustice!
He perceived righteousness a little differently, but I thought it was okay to acknowledge ones perseverance.
You made a mistake, Junior.
What do you mean?
I still havent shown you my true power. Master Carrot always told me to hide 90% of my full strength, after all.
Master Carrot?
The one who taught me swordsmanship before I was kidnapped into the Fantasy dimension. He can cut through the universe with 314 trillion swordsmanships using only a carrot.
ording to Fugitive Seniors words, he was most likely a sword god.
You stole my stats, one of the fruits of my efforts. Except for my love, you turned what little remained of the possession I gained through hard work into a nk te. I was aiming for your life anyway, but youll have to pay the price for the emptiness I feel here.
Fugitive Senior growled like a cornered and injured beast.
Indeed
He suddenly began to speak of love and what I did, but the bottom line of his speech was that he was enraged because I confiscated the skills he gained through extraneous efforts.
So, what are you going to do about it?
Im not satisfied with being undefeated. I will destroy and take everything away from you like what I did to the countlesss I conquered for women.
How do you n on winning?
I was genuinely curious.
I had no doubts that his divine power, which prevented him from losing, was fraudulent, but winning was an entirely different matter.
He had no power to defeat me.
Ill show you the results of my efforts.
Click!
He snapped his fingers.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
One after another, several beautiful women dressed in lingerie appeared behind him.
Cheerleading squad?
I doubted it.
They clearly had weapons in their hands.
First Saintess Erdanti was among his summons. Fugitive Senior didnt love them, but he spared no effort in collecting them anyway.
If you thought I wouldnt kill women, youre making a huge mistake.
Kill them if you can, then. I havent been taking them seriously for a while now, but its because of these female bodyguards that its be easier for me tomand my people.
He was really insane!
But I didnt mind.
Standing in such a position of evil, he made it easier for me to fulfill my duty as a Hero.
Then let me show you the results of my efforts as well.
???A certain righteous divine being shows his righteous smile.???
???A certain righteous divine being spreads his wings.???
Unfortunately, my Providence had a condition for activation.
Justice.
However, there was no doubt about it.
The time hade for justice to stand tall on this fallen star with tears of repentance.
Chapter 411 - [31st Round] Advent
Chapter 411 - [31st Round] Advent
A fair judgment.
With my Providence now activated, the battle leaned more toward my favor.
First and foremost, I took control over this as I did with Fantasy.
Since it served more like a forward base or a temporary shelter, I couldnt exercise absolute influence over it, but I could at least block external interference.
Now, no gods could
???A certain innocent goddess takes a peek.???
???A certain restless demonic god hastily crouches out of sight.???
They were really too much
I even put up a partition since I had personal business to attend to, but I didnt expect theyd push through it without much difficulty.
I didnt mind, though.
For as long as the god who provided Fugitive Senior his divine power couldnt enter, the situation wouldnt change.
With this, the Righteous Heros justice waspleted.
Noebius.
Pop.
I summoned my dearrade, who had been lying in wait while suppressing his nearly uncontroble rage.
I knew this battle mightve been easier for me if I had summoned the Noebius Legion instead of Monstar.
But I didnt.
I had to fulfill the promise I made myself, and there was a possibility they would all go crazy.
Hence, I decided to summon one, not a legion.
I know what to do.
Commander-in-chief Neobius spoke in a low tone, his eyes staring at the original version of his wife.
Okay. I need you to
Protect Erdanti from the ughter, my friend.
Uh Thats right.
I wanted to borate that this was righteous retribution, not a massacre, but I had no time to do so.
My seniors bodyguards were already charging towards me.
[Hero]
I flew forward.
Under the influence of [Undefeated] and [Luck], Fugitive Seniors life had to have been no different from that of the main characters in novels.
But at this moment, I was the protagonist.
I was a Hero, after all.
If the Fugitive Senior were undefeated, then I, who punished absolute evil, was victory.
There was not even a doubt in my mind.
Was this part of my Providence?
Its not even funny.
Agh?!
I grabbed Bodyguard A between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae as she charged at me with a trident.
Defense? Evasion?
Such countermeasures had been rendered unnecessary since now that my Providence was in y, this was no longer a battle.
Judgment.
The time hade to punish the criminals.
However, there was one way to resist my dogmatic righteousness.
You have the right to remain silent(suicide), and you have the right to an attorney (aplice).
The criminal, whose neck had been beautifully broken, exercised the right to remain silent.
That was a good answer.
Crack.
Grabbing Bodyguard As slender neck, I decapitated her head off her body.
Goodbye, my sister!
Take it.
What?!
I then gathered a fistful of Bodyguard As long hair, allowing me to wield her head like a mace against Bodyguard B, who had almost reached me.
Crack.
But it didnt proceed as smoothly as I thought it would.
Unfazed and undaunted, Bodyguard B continued to approach me, crushing the head of the woman, whom she just called sister, in the process.
This oue was still beneficial for me, though.
Rather than living as part of Fugitive Seniors collection, which was her current reality, she chose eternal rest.
But that was a mistake.
Who do you think I am?
A god kh?!
Wrong. I am a Hero.
She was not allowed to die unless I, the judge, allowed it.
Bodyguard As death simply suspended her physical activity. However, her soul was actually intact and merely waiting for my verdict.
pooh
My Righteous Heros Wings pierced through Bodyguard Bs chest.
Wow!
ng!
Vomiting blood, her sword fell from her hand, which I then grabbed as soon as it was free.
She tried to pull away, but I didnt allow her.
You wanted to approach me, soe.
Argh!
Drrrrr
The vibration of her vertebrae and ribs being crushed was transmitted to me through my wings.
How frail.
Bodyguard B wanted to be embraced in the Righteous Heros broad chest, but all of her physical activities had been banned before she could fulfill that wish.
Whoop! Whoop!
Tang Tang!
Bodyguard C diligently pulled her bowstring from a distance as Bodyguard D pulled the trigger of her modern rifle right beside her, both of them aiming for my head.
I hated rangedbatants as much as anyone who had often fought againstrge numbers of opponents would.
Fortunately for me, this was never a fight in the first ce.
Pong, puduk, tuk
Bodyguards C and Ds arrows and bullets rapidly lost momentum and fell sharply to the ground, unable to even touch my physique.
Whats going on?
Did he cast a barrier?
What you witnessed is pure justice, ignorant fools.
Uncivilized projectiles could never reach the spire of justice that reached heights beyond the heavens.
Compressing space to narrow the distance between us, I delivered a powerful kick to their tailbones.
Hey~?!
Ahh~?!
With their pelvis irreparably ripped apart, they were forced to drop their weapons to tend to their sore asses.
You were far toocent.
True Heroes were supposed to be capable of reaching any distance.
Self-satisfied hypocrites who had to pick which ones to save because they only had one body couldnt be called a Hero.
Whirick~
This is the end for you Aaaghhh!!
Arrogant.
Bodyguard E tried to coil a transparent wire around my neck while her colleagues were being hurt.
She was far too arrogant.
There was no such thing as a blind spot for the True GGG-ss Hero.
It would be absurd to expect victory despite having only one weapon.
Slip!
My Righteous Heros Wings pierced through her belly, preventing her from escaping no matter how hard she struggled.
I decided to help her!
Of course, this was a paid service.
Slip!
After taking out her small intestines, I returned them to her as a gift.
Its an eco-friendly scarf!
Ahhh!
She was so moved and touched that she grew speechless and even cked out.
Was it because I tried to personally wrap her new scarf around her?
Unfortunately, it seemed Id just have to do it on my next opponent instead.
There doesnt seem to be any left, though.
The rest of them were still bustling, but no one dared resist justice.
Ugh
rgh!
This is
Frightened, they stepped away like idiots.
Usually, their master would be igniting their courage and pushing them forward at this point, but Fugitive Senior had already lost his mind halfway through his harems punishment.
When I heard how badly Boris was beaten, I began to wonder if the culprit was you. How can you stomach massacring beauties like beasts in need of being hunted? Wouldnt it be better for you to subdue them and turn them into your property? Do you already have so many women serving you that you no longer need more?
What was this senior saying now?
I punish my enemies. Its really not that hard to understand my clear and simple reasoning.
Stop acting like an idiot! Logic is just logic. I am talking about reality!
You say such strange things, senior. I already am talking about reality. Beauty? Haha! Is it because youve lived your whole life as if it was a movie? In the middle of a war, there is no need to distinguish between males and females. All that matters is identifying enemies from allies, which can often be done by looking at their uniforms.
What
From my perspective, you seem to be ignorant of the very reality you speak of since youve only ever walked on paths made out of flowers, never thorns. Such a waste of life.
My first round was a mess.
Strictly speaking, the reality of my past was devoid of hopes and dreams.
I didnt want to lose to men who were physically superior, so I had to invest my youth in swordsmanship.
My conditions then were almost the same as the Sword Princess.
What was the difference between the two?
The difference between us was that she was strong enough to cover for herself if she made a mistake, but her honor wasnt as pure as mine.
I advised her to go back home and get married, but her colleagues tried to convince her not to give herself up to men. She chose thetter.
They happily went on with their adventures without me.
Hey. What are you trying to say, junior?
Two yearster, Imissioned an information broker to investigate news about the young woman. What do you think happened to her?
She must have be a great swordsman who did not fall behind to men.
She became a mess.
Praised by her warriors, she became arrogant and lost her precious right arm, which was as precious as her life, in a quarrel against savage mercenaries.
She fought 100 times and won 99 times, but she lost everything in her one defeat.
Her arrogant pride fell to the ground, and the men who praised her appearance turned their backs against her one by one
Such were the aches of life.
Five yearster, she returned to her mother with a sickness and a missing arm. At that moment, her desire tomit suicide became a tremendous predicament for her father, who could not even speak to her
Let me tell you again. The battlefield does not discriminate, rendering gender and appearance worthless. Its strange that you even argue against it, senior.
Thats hrious. Isnt that your fault?
Well My colleagues did obstruct me multiple times, but that was just an excuse. Its my fault for failing to convince her.
No. Youre misunderstanding.
After being called out by Fugitive Senior, I kept my lips shut.
I didnt think our conversation was pointless, at least.
My best friend Noebius was trying hard to persuade Erdanti.
I thought it would be easy to bring her to our side, but she seemed to be in a very bad condition after being held captive by Fugitive Senior for a long time.
Anyway
You caused the tragedy of that young girl, junior, so you better listen.
Why should I?
My blood pressure seriously went up.
If we end it like this, you will never understand. I will teach you themon sense that youck.
Ill listen.
I responded lightly, but deep down, I was a little nervous.
Providence.
It was no exaggeration to say that it came from a firm belief.
If Fugitive Seniors perspective shook my justice, my Providence would be broken.
However, I couldnt ignore all of his words.
After all, that would be no different from admitting defeat.
An unavoidable challenge.
Since that was the case, then I should just face it head-on!
Listen well.
Sure.
She wouldnt have been frustrated for losing her arm if you had made her your woman in the first ce.
Ha?
Did I hear him correctly?
Do you understand your fault now, my pathetic Kuek?!
Ive had enough.
My Providence had grown to such heights that it had gone beyond MAX rank and could even prate the universe itself.
[Undefeated]? [Luck]?
I exuded so much justice I offset even his divine powers.
I decided to end everything here.
To be honest, this question has always been a trap.
Khghrgh!
After blowing off his jaw, which he didnt like the most, I punched a hole in his abdomen with my Righteous Heros Wings.
Then I continued the conversation.
The young girl in this story is real, not a fictional character I made on the fly. It is also true that her arm was severed. I didnt think I needed to tell you. After all, gender and appearance are meaningless.
Ahhh!
I targetted his spine next.
We both couldve had a happy and fulfilling life, but she decided to run away instead of listening to me. In other words, everything is a result of ones own choices. I dared use a beautiful woman as an example since it would be the best way to get an honest response from you.
However, after hearing more sophistry than expected, my Providence broke through even MAX rank.
I could no longer be stopped.
What was the difference between Providence and divine power?
They seemed the same at first nce, but Providence dealt fixed damage that ignored defense.
If ones opponent had virtually no defense and resistance in the first ce, then there was no difference between the two.
Fugitive Senior used to be protected by a fraudulent divine powerparable to Providence, but now, my Providence hadpletely surpassed it far more than intended.
Stop being rude and just look around, Fugitive Senior.
Aww
Erdanti, who was ying hard to get, was easily subdued by Noebius by covering her lips with his, which was what he shouldve done in the first ce!
And Fugitive Senior was torn to pieces by my Righteous Heros Wings until he was on the verge of death.
How was he still holding on?
[Luck]
[Undefeated]
His two divine powers were keeping him from sumbing to his miserable end.
But even those were limited.
Farewell.
Wait a minute.
I heard a mans voice behind my back.
Who? Ah
I realized the answer to my question nearly as soon as I asked it.
There was no way I wouldnt know who owned that voice.
[Luck]
[Undefeated]
The true being that bestowed divine powers upon Fugitive Senior had descended.
Mon~ Mon~
Master Mon was also present.
Chapter 412 - [31st Round] Ignorant God of War
Chapter 412 - [31st Round] Ignorant God of War
He was a very peculiar being.
A raven sat like an epaulet on his right shoulder, and Master Mon wiggled over his left shoulder.
It wouldnt be farfetched to say he looked like a tamer.
Moreover, his face strangely resembled Fugitive Senior.
If I were to be asked who was more handsome, Id say the younger of the two.
If the two were rted by blood, their genes were probably improved by whoever his wife was.
I thought my grandson died since our contract suddenly broke, only to find this scene when I came in a hurry to collect his belongings
Caw.
You dont have to worry about this crow, young Hero. This guy is like Pet No. 2.
Mon~ Mon~
And this is my first secretary. Unlike me, he is a very capable friend.
I turned my gaze to him to listen to his story while holding Fugitive Senior between his 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae.
Your grandson?
Thats right. Considering the general situation and not taking into consideration all excuses I can make, hes one of my many descendants.
Wouldnt it be okay if he dies since you have many descendants anyway?
Haha! You seem to have greatly misunderstood me.
I remained silent.
To be honest, the greatness of my opponent was tiring me out.
???Luck??? ???Undefeated??? ???Mon??? ???Popcorn??? ???Retribution??? ???Demon World??? ???Swordsmanship??? ???Chunjang??? ???Ideal??? ???Wisdom??? ???Harem??? ???Birth??? ???Creation??? ???Swarm??? ???Love??? ???Pepper??? ???Following??? ??? ???Glory??? ???Weather??? ???wfish??? ???Education??? ????? ???Annihtion??? ???Game??? ???Yasap??? ???Onion??? ???Carrot??? ???Green Pepper??? ???Panties??? ???Mercury??? ???Friend??? ???Steel??? ???Copper??? ??? tinum ???Blood??? ???Science??? ???Childrearing??? ???Broadcasting??? ???Sponsoring??? ???Gambling??? ???Potatoes??? ???Skull??? ???Chilli???
His Providences, which numbered probably as many as the stars in the night sky, put heavy pressure on me.
Some of them were quite absurd, but there were just far too many for me to even think of surviving against him.
I didnt even know how this was realistically possible, but I would crumble into powder instantly if we fought.
Dont worry too much. I simply have an umtion of powers owned by all the gods that had reached the level of Providence.
I, myself, am not that great. At most, I only have three Providences that I can call my own. As you probably already know, numbers arent a measure of ability. Im not much different from you, who only have one.
Aside from three, all of his Providences werent his?
That made me even more curious.
The pet on your shoulder aside, who are you?
Themander. Im usually called Boss. Dont I look like one? Hahaha!
Well, I dont know if its because of the circumstances, but you cant seem to take a joke. Anyway
???A certain ignorant god of warughs.???
???A certain innocent goddess waves her hand.???
???A certain restless demonic god is getting bored.???
This is who I am.
Woah
I didnt know where the other two were hiding, but the three greatest and strongest deities across the universe had gathered.
One of them was even right in front of me.
As themander-in-chief, I delegate Providences to other gods, and they are tasked to handle important events across the universe in return. Compared to that, my grandsons problems are as small as dust.
What do you consider a big deal, then?
Lets see For example, should I save a inhabited by 50 billion individuals and move it to a safe gxy before it gets sucked into a ck hole?
The scale of his predicaments was so colossal I was rendered speechless.
The issues of humans are far too trivial for me, considering I dont have time to care about the unfortunate few. After all, the number of beings who die or get injured in the blink of an eye due to my decisions often reach millions.
Ah, I didnt mean to whine. You just remind me of my youth.
The God of Wars story gave me goosebumps.
His life was very simr to the Heros life I had been pursuing since the first round.
The only difference was that it had been greatly expanded fromary to a universal level.
Are you
Say it.
No. Nothing.
I couldnt possibly ask.
Are you satisfied with your present self, which must be broken one way or another?
He smiled bitterly.
I have known about my grandsons problems for a long time.
What?
Theres no way I wouldnt know. I do have quite the capable secretary.
Mon~ Mon~
The rainbow-colored slime, technically Master Mons grandfather, fluttered on the God of Wars shoulder.
Pope Mon.
He was such a cool slime.
But from a universal perspective, my grandsons errors are very trivial matters. Moreover, although hes too obsessed with women, he has great political power, and his performance as a peaceful gctic ruler is more than enough to cover for his mistakes.
So you want me to forgive him?
Ah, again, dont get me wrong. Many beings are capable of running gxies. Smart Mon, Innocent Mon, Kind Mon, Clever Mon. Honest Mon, Cold-hearted Mon, and others. Im sure Id find more if I actually start looking for them.
Woah
Master Mons brothers were active all over the universe.
I dared leave my grandson alone despite his ws simply because he punishes the billions of tyrants who are worse than he is. Wouldnt it be too pitiful if only my grandson were punished? Moreover, in the perfect universe ruled by Mon, there will never be a new god like you. Only in difficult times do we ever need Heroes, after all.
Thats a bizarre policy.
Did that mean he deliberately left some situations alone to create new deities?
Look back on your life, Righteous Hero. If you had sessfully graduated from Fantasy in your first round as Kang Han Soo, would you still have been as strong as you are now?
I wasnt certain.
But it was unlikely.
The years I lost were definitely a waste of time, but practicing Master Mons teachings throughout those days was a great achievement for me.
Because of that, if I became an athlete at this point, Id be able to sweep the Olympic gold medals by myself.
World Cup? Even if I yed without a goalkeeper and a coach in ser, I was confident that I could win alone.
However, there was no ce for a Hero anywhere in such a mundane reality. They would just think I was insane.
Im d a great god like you has been born.
Why?
The reason I became themander-in-chief of all gods is to defeat Solo, the universes strongest. In the distant past, he was an existence so absolute he won a war against all deitiesbined. Since then, Ive been nurturing our kinds unity in preparation for when he reappears. Thats why new gods are always wee.
Solo
An absolute god with a name that seemed to suggest solitude
Mon~ Mon~
My secretary researched you a little. You have a very ster record. The Fantasy Institutionpletely blocked the path to bing a god since autonomy does not manifest itself with a molded infusion-type ideology. However, despite being raised in the worst environment for ascension, you reached godhood in only two hundred years like a lotus blooming through the mud. Ah, but as much as Id like to talk a little more about this, I dont have enough time to do so.
Huh? What?
Fugitive Senior disappeared from my grasp.
Let me deal with my ugly grandson with honor. Hell be undergoing a hundred years of popcorn punishment. After all, as strange as this sounds, his biggest sin is wasting my precious time in vain.
Uhh
That wasnt strange at all, was it? Every night, I always told my cowardly wife to be grateful for being able to spend the night with such a handsome Hero.
In the past, Ssosia used to snort in reply, but these days, she had been working hard for me and listened to my orders.
Ill be taking my leave now.
Caw!
Hey. Stay calm. Dont break the mood.
???A certain ignorant god of war says goodbye.???
???A certain innocent goddess waves her hand.???
???A certain restless demonic god waves his hand.???
Caw! Caw!
Agh, you little!
Pop!
The Ignorant War God left arguing with his crow.
As for me
Whew.
???A certain righteous divine being is at a loss.???
That was crazy!
It was great that he took the initiative of punishing his grandson himself.
Whether he would actually see it through was out of my control, but I didnt care.
All that mattered was that I finally fulfilled my promise to my best friend, Noebius.
However, I now faced another predicament.
Cleaning the mess is always such a hassle.
A wars end would never be unwee.
But I would forever find tending to its aftermath annoying.
Mon?
Mon?
Mon?
What?
It wasnt Pope Mon who was on the War Gods shoulder.
These mons wore clerk-like hats.
My friend. Look at the sky.
The sky?
I followed the words of Noebius, who had an arm around Erdantis slim waist.
A bleak smile appeared on my face.
Mon Fleet.
Their mothership was invisible, but numerous Monroids were descending from space to the ground.
I know the universe is small, but I didnt expect to see you again so soon.
You again?
Yes. I, Brave Mon Pilot, have beenmissioned by themander to restore the.
War God
They were perfect for post-war cleanup
He had so many excellent subordinates that we no longer had to do it ourselves.
He was the embodiment of the ideal Hero I envisioned.
Should I follow in his footsteps?
Or should I find apletely new path?
What do you n to do, Hero? Would you like to watch the restoration work from here?
No. Im going home. I have other pressing matters to attend to.
The GGG-ss Hero faced a new dilemma!
*****
S-e-e-e-e-e-ex~!
I rode the obscenely screaming stingray home quickly.
Now that the interference of Monsoft had disappeared, Fantasy had finally be my territory.
It would be my fault if this did well, but if it didnt, it would be my wifes.
Isnt that too unreasonable, handsome husband?!
Be my second wife, then.
Youre such a coward.
Hmph! Do you think anyone can just be my first wife?
Aww
Ssosia burst into anger at my eloquence but eventually sumbed to the magical word first.
I know you just returned, dear husband, but do you think theres a problem at home with the family?
My mother-inw?
No, not my mother, whos trying to steal her son-inw away from her own daughter. I meant your parents.
Hmm
They had been fine for twenty-five Earth years without me.
Did something unexpected happen?
Look at this.
I read the messages on Ssosias monphone.
?Me: Mother! I have very good news! (1:04 am)
-September 17, 2050-
?Mother: I only just read your text since you sent it sote in the evening. (7:04 am)
?Mother: So whats the good news? Do I have a second grandchild now? (7:05 am)
?Me: I think my husband will be able to go home to Earth soon. (7:08 am)
?Mother: Really? Thats great. Hes been ignoring my text messages a lottely, so I cant help but feel a little mad at him. (7:09 am)
? Me: I apologize on his behalf. Hes clearly at fault here. Well be visiting you soon, so please dont worry too much. (7:11 am)
Should I keep reading, wife? Or should I punish your pelvis first?
Just keep going. Scroll down.
Following Ssosias sharp words, I read all the way to the end of their conversation.
?Mother: Be sure to contact us before youe. (9:24 am)
?Me: Yes, mother. (9:25 am)
-September 17, 2050-
?Mother: Somethings wrong! What was this about? (6:31 am)
?Me: What happened, mother? (6:38 am)
?Mother: After hearing that his brother wasing, my second child ran away from home. Did Han Soo say harsh words to his brother? He said that if they met, he would kill him. (6:39 am)
?Me: I doubt it. Even if he breaks everyones spine and pelvis, he loves his family too much to do that. (6:41 am)
?Mother: He still hasnte back. I cant find him. Did he get kidnapped? I dont know what to do (4:04 pm)
? Me: Dont worry. Im sure hell be fine. Ill talk to my husband when hees back. (4:06 pm)
My brother?
Have you ever sent your brother a threatening text message, handsome husband?
No.
Weve never even talked to each other since he seemed to be avoiding me.
However, I was being suspected as the cause of my brothers disappearance.
He ran away from home at such an exquisite timing.
What are you going to do?
I must go now.
I couldnt focus on my work anyway since I couldnt stop thinking about my mothers tennis racket hitting me as soon as we met again.
The reason was a bit ridiculous, but
It was finally time for the Hero to return to his breathtakingly beautiful home.
Chapter 413 - [32nd Round] Traces of the Old Demon Lord
Chapter 413 - [32nd Round] Traces of the Old Demon Lord
Adolescent children running away from home wasnt all that surprising.
My younger brother did it a little earlier than most, but my mother had always praised him for being precocious. Hence, she shouldnt really be that surprised.
The problem was
Why do they think its my fault?!
The distance between Earth and Fantasy was so far apart that it was foolish to calcte it.
That begged the question of why I was the one being med for it.
Of course, I found out earlier that it was because of my cowardly wifes cheeky mouth.
Uh I was going to tell your mother the good news about you. Its not polite to suddenly visit, you know.
Dont you know what surprises are?
I do. Its a surefire way to get hit by your mothers tennis racket.
I wanted to deny her words by saying, Theres no way my mother wont recognize her beloved son! However, as much as I hated to admit this, I didnt have enough confidence in that im to say it out loud.
It had been twenty-five years for them since I left, while it had been two centuries for me.
Their filial son was in agony!
Dont worry too much. Universally speaking, bad children are punished by popcorn, but there is no suchw on Earth, right?
I heard that term yesterday. What the hell is a popcorn punishment?
It is as its name suggests.
What?
The sinners body is greased with butter and deep-fried in arge frying pan. ording to those who had experienced it, a second in it feels like a year.
Right
If he hadnt messed with his good-spined and kind-hearted junior, he wouldve lived a good life
Fugitive Seniors [Luck] now seemed like a fake.
May he rest in peace. Mon.
So, handsome husband, how does it feel that you are now going back to your home after so long?
Hmm Not as impactful as one would think. Our destinations not even how we used to live while I was still on Earth.
Back then, we werent wealthy, but our family lived in happiness.
I thought my parents would never move because of their beloved tennis club, but that seemed to have changed after twenty-five years.
They werent even onnd anymore.
Rather, they now lived in a city built above the sea.
ording to my cowardly wifes description, it was a luxurious ce where only high-ss humans lived.
You seem to know a lot about it.
Of course. I did spend some time on Earth after giving birth to Sidael.
Achoo!
Sucking on a pacifier, my scion sneezed.
Cute!
Well, that was only natural. He had my looks, after all.
Son. Once you get used to Earths fumes, youll feel better Achoo!
Pfft!
Dontugh. This ce isnt the same as I remember. Did my mind exaggerate its beauty because I missed it too much?
When I stopped by this in the past, I noticed humanity built weapon factories on the sea since aliens only invadednds, but they had now been expanded and became a residential city.
Alpha City, the safest ce on Earth, was the first maritime metropolis built on the Pacific Ocean by Factoria, the worlds most giganticpany.
Do you know what this is, husband?
A ck card.
Fufu! Its my passport. I had to go through immigration before, but I can now bypass it since Im a VVIP. VIP passports only exempt its owner, but VVIP ones exclude even those apanying them!
This was upsetting. My wife, a Fantasy savage, was more familiar with Earth than I was.
Weeeiing
Weiiing
This ce had surveince cameras all over it, and most of them even turned as we passed to keep us in their sights.
The security here was so tight I could feel how wary they were of Fantasy graduates entering this city without permission using their abilities.
In addition, Alpha City had straight roads and thematically unified buildings, resulting in an affluent atmosphere.
As for its people
Wow! Her beauty is unmatched
Since she has a child, the ck bear next to her must be her husband.
They cant be a couple.
Tsk. What a waste of a woman.
They groaned as they watched us pass by.
Hmm
In the Fantasy dimension, I was a handsome man at the peak of my youth, and Ssosia was treated like an ordinary wife.
But our positions were reversed here on Earth!
This was absurd.
I used to think I was only treated like a beauty because of the second curse, but aftering to Earth, I realized that wasnt the case at all~
Ssosia, holding our son, seemed ttered.
Sniff. Good for you.
Even a girl working in the fields of Fantasys Southern Continent would be seen as an actress on this.
It wasnt because Fantasy savages had better gics than Earthlings, but rather because their abilities received corrections from birth.
As a result, the Fantasy locals appearance improved.
Your familys house is over there.
Why did we have toe to this crowded street, then? We couldve justnded directly to our actual destination.
Fufu~?
My cowardly wife seemed to enjoy the attention Earthlings were giving her.
Are you in a good mood?
Yes! I can feel my confidence, which died in Fantasy,ing to life again and reaching new heights!
Lets keep moving.
Wait. Do you really n to meet your parents in that getup?
Unable to understand her intentions behind her question, I paused for a moment.
What was wrong with my outfit?
Although I had been reinstated as a Hero, I wasnt wearing epaulets and capes like medieval mercenaries.
A clean ck leather suit.
I knew I hadnt been here in so long, but that wouldnt be enough for me to lose my sense of reality.
Wasnt she underestimating her MAX-ss husband?
Youre in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, which boasts high temperatures and humidity.
So?
My handsome husband may be fine, but in the eyes of others, you look too flushed and stuffy. I know you keep its back open because of your wings, but here on Earth, youd be considered a pervert.
When she noticed I couldnt say anything, she grabbed my arms and pulled me into a clothing store.
The staff greeted me warmly.
Wee Heeik?!
My husband has no sense of fashion or season, which is why were here. I need to buy him some cool clothes.
Oh! I thought he was a robber Im sorry. Please follow me. Let me show you our new summer products.
How could she say such insults to customers?
Quite the unfriendly employee.
However, my attitudepletely changed when I saw my rigorous forearms and thighs peeking out of my short sleeves and shorts.
Wow I think Ill be keeping you happy every night, cowardly wife.
Im dying~?
Oh my!
Still, our family reunion had been long overdue, and my brother was also missing. Regardless of the season here, wasnt I dressed too lightly?
I wanted to question this change, but I decided to observe silently for now.
Lets go, Ssosia.
My dear husband, I know youre not interested in the people around you, but dont you miss Earth? Why not take a look around first?
This ce is unfamiliar to me.
Too much had changed.
Moreover, this city was built in neither thend nor the sky where I lived, so I didnt feel particrly sentimental or find anything that made me want to go down memoryne.
Achoo.
Except for the smoke.
Ssosia led me to a downtown area, which looked like the most expensive section of this metropolis.
If I opened a cafe here, it would probably be sessful even if I used my feet to manage it.
Its that building.
They got a good ce.
My family lived in a detached property, not an apartment, on this expensivend.
How much did that cost them?
It was provided by Victoria, an English woman who pretended to be the daughter-inw of my handsome husbands parents. Now she is aiming for the familys young master.
My little brother?
Yes, but now that hes disappeared, they seemed to have been thrown into a state of emergency.
Right.
The number of surveince cameras installed in this city was unusually high. Only the richest people in the world lived here, after all. Paying extra attention to public safety and security was inevitable.
Still, even this surveincework couldnt catch a glimpse of my younger sibling, much less locate him.
Was that realistically possible?
Yes, if one wasnt an ordinary human.
Hey, look.
I was suspicious of him from the moment he took my mothers love from me.
Husband. Look.
How would I know where to look if all you say is
The end of my words blurred as I lost my train of thought.
Son? Is that really you? Youve changed a lot since west met.
Mother
On the second-floor terrace of my familys building, my mother was looking down at me.
*****
I would be lying if I didnt expect a more touching reunion.
If it hadnt been for my runaway brother, that certainly wouldve been the case.
I want to hit you a little, but Ill be patient and hold it in because my second child is missing.
I see
What was the point of being strong?
In front of my mother, I was nothing more than an infinitely small son.
Youre back.
Father You havent changed.
Instead of my mother, my apron-d father, who was a good cook, greeted me briefly in the kitchen.
I heard they had been living well because of their fake daughter-inw, but it seemed they still refused to hire a housekeeper.
Wait. Ill cook you a dish youve never tasted in that Fantasy world.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, there is no such food, father.
From the day the monphone gained the ability to receive information from Earth, my table had be colorful with many different delicacies.
There were various recipes for cooking on the inte, after all.
Oh. Thats right.
Let me also show you dishes that arent from Earth.
Click!
Fantasy-style dishes spread all over the table with a snap of my fingers.
They were just clones of the original, but there were no differences in their nutritional content or taste.
After bing a Hero, did you also be a magic cook, son?
Even though she wanted to find her second child, there was nothing she could do. As a result, my dissatisfied mothers tone was very cold.
I felt like I was sitting on a throne of thorns
It was all my brothers fault.
A Hero must be able to do anything. More importantly, it seems neither of you have grown old at all. Rather, you seem to be getting younger, mother.
The medicines avable these days are amazing.
I never even imagined they would develop a potion of immortality while I was away.
Well, so much time has passed. As much as your brother was born and went to college.
Ah, thats right.
This was insanely awkward!
I wanted to somehow offset this atmosphere, but I couldnt make any progress. No matter what we talked about, she seemed to always find a way to insert my brother into the middle of our conversation.
What should I say next
Can I see some of those medicines? Im curious about their ingredients.
What are you going to do after that? Will that help you find your sibling?
Of course not.
I realized a lot had changed during this conversation.
Age.
My parents were younger than me because of Fantasy and Earths different time axes.
I felt bitter.
I didnt go to the Fantasy dimension because I wanted to, but I risked my life to return to Earth somehow.
Yet, I was met with indifference.
They didnt even congratte me or tell me I did well because my brother ran away from home.
I understood my parents sentiment, though.
They were probably impatient and anxious because the child they gave birth to had gone missing. They probably were like this 25 years ago when I disappeared.
If I were to act foolishly here, wed just end up arguing amongst ourselves.
Husband
Ssosia looked at me with worry.
It was alright.
My first round colleagues used to test me harder than this.
Ill go look for him after we eat.
Its not him. Its Hanjin.
Yes. I will mobilize all my abilities to find Hanjin.
Did she like my answer?
Mother held out something from her pocket and gave it to me.
Here.
What?
You wanted me to show you the rejuvenation pill.
Wait.
I crushed the medicines capsule and checked its content.
Very dark powder.
A very familiar color.
Giving it a little taste, I was convinced.
It was extremely diluted, but I couldnt be fooled.
Husband. Could it be?
Yes. This isnt just an oddly convenient rejuvenation pill.
There was no way I wouldnt be able to identify it.
It had be my strength now, after all.
The very essence of it was part of me.
This is Demon Lord Pedonars Dark Energy. Taking too much of it turns one into a devil.
Our current situation just took a strange turn.
Chapter 414 - [32nd Round] What Is This Dark Energy?
Chapter 414 - [32nd Round] What Is This Dark Energy?
Dads on Earth?
I still dont know if this is my father-inws work.
I searched my memories without affirming or denying my cowardly wifes judgment.
This wasnt the first time I had been here since I was kidnapped and taken to Fantasy.
There was a time when I stayed for a day here, like a teaser to my return.
No, it didnt evenst a day.
You mean you could be the culprit behind this Dark Energy, hubby?
Yes.
For my retirement, I used Dark Energy on thiss ruling ss.
I didnt prepare for my retirement myself, but I ordered the corrupted earthlings to do it for me at the time.
Everything went perfectly up to that point.
Ah! Didnt you die and reincarnate as a cute baby without even being able to use your retirement funds?
Yes.
This was really awkward.
My clone at the time then became an actual demon. However, since he didnt receive any orders from me for over 20 Earth years, then mystmand should still be in effect even at this moment.
If that were the case, then the rejuvenation pill could have originated from thest order I gave to my loyal subordinate.
Nonsense. Im the Second Demon! Theres no way I cant recognize Dark Energy!
Each pill only has a minuscule amount of it.
I didnt even notice it until I saw it up close despite already being its master.
That was precisely why I still couldnt be certain that this was my doing.
Its somehow different.
I understand now. This is extremely simr to the time Demon Archduke C reformed his Dark Energy to be independent of Demon Lord Pedonar. This one is much moreplete, however.
That doesnt make sense either. The demon on Earth is more or less 20 years old. Its highly unlikely for him to be able to control a technique that sophisticated. On the other hand, my dads more than capable of handling itsplexity.
My father-inw
It was possible that he was hiding here.
What are you guys discussing in the middle of this emergency? Correct me if Im wrong, but isnt your brothers safety more important than the source of these pills right now?
My mothers voice sounded frustrated and irritated.
She was right.
I had to restore my familys peace first.
Mother.
What is it?
I really love you. Dad, too.
Whats gotten into you Huh?
I was the Demon Lord who inherited the family business from the First Demon.
The moment I learned that the cause of our current predicament was Dark Energy, providing a solution to it became extremely simple.
Srrrr
I suppressed my mothers unconscious desire to follow the demon who imbued it with her.
I hoped I couldpletely eliminate its side effects, but there was no such thing as a non-addictive drug, was there?
If my guess was correct
Son.
Yes.
Shoulder rub.
Sure.
How can youe back after twenty-five years and not even buy us a present? I want to hit your unrecognizable face with a tennis racket so bad, but Ill hold myself back since my cute grandson is right in front of us.
A wise decision, mother.
Heh, its nice to have a big son. You used to be small and frail, but you certainly have gotten stronger. Keep going. The muscles in my shoulders are starting to loosen
Ill do this more often.
This is strange. I feel as if my heads gotten a little clearer. Is it just me?
Its just you.
We spent a long time in silence.
Ssosia, not wanting to interrupt our moment as mother and child, helped my father wash the dishes instead.
Mon.
Mon~ Mon~
Shemitted atrocities against Master Mon, who was born with the noblest lineage in the universe.
Cowardly demon!
Son.
Yes?
Im sorry.
What for?
Dont ask if you know.
Okay.
I shouldnt have made such a big deal about my second child running away from home. If hes truly my son, he will thrive no matter where he is. Isnt that right, eldest son?
Yes, mother!
This was the mom I knew.
She no longer held her tennis racket as before, but her mood and tone hadnt changed.
Oh, right. She said she was sad since I didnt prepare a gift.
I should never let her know that I actually didnt.
Her words had to be carefully analyzed and resolved like hidden easter eggs in RPG games.
In doing so, she would always love me.
Youre good at shoulder massages even though your heart is numb, son.
Haha! Theres no way your first-ss filial son didnt prepare a gift, mother. Your mood was just so serious that I was embarrassed to take it out
So Im at fault?
Not at all. I just wanted to wait before showing it to you.
Hmm.
Ill take it out now.
With Master Mons teachings, my mind activated my divine power, significantly slowing time down.
Why?
I needed more time to think!
A grandchild was the greatest gift I could give her, but I couldnt im my son as my gift since it wasnt me but my cowardly wife who struggled to give birth to Sidael.
What gift would she like?
Is that really important enough to freeze the entire sr systems time, husband? Ssosia asked. As an apostle, she was unaffected by my power.
Of course. Even if she said she didnt need a gift, I wouldve still prepared one right away.
Thats only because your mothers mood is so bad
I know. I just wanted to give you a hard time.
Thats mean!
Hmm
It was a bit suspicious.
Those addicted to Dark Energy would instinctively follow orders more faithfully.
Considering my mother tried to blindly protect my younger sibling
Are you suspecting your brother?
Yeah.
After being freed from her addiction, she said, I shouldnt have made such a big deal about my second child running away from home. If hes truly my son, he will thrive no matter where he is.
Now, for personal reasons, I decided to look for him.
Does that mean he put her unconscious under his control?
Thats what Fantasy demons would typically do.
When I met him, he was just an ordinary person
Your kind is known for being adept in hiding their true identity.
Hey, husband. Have you forgotten that Im the Second Demon? No demon can hide their race from me.
You probably got toocent.
Hmm
Ssosias expression, unable to deny my words, evidenced her anger.
What would be a good gift
I could give a Romantium alloy tennis racket, but I decided not to.
Id rather not get hit by such a weapon.
My troubles deepened.
How about a dragon?
A giant flying lizard?
Youre used to life in Fantasy, so youre not that aware of this, but Earthlings imagine that world to be in the Middle Ages but with dragons.
Hmm. So?
If you give your mother a decent dragon as a gift, youll be able to save face. Just take me as an example. Thanks to the spaceray you gave me, I can now rx while traveling!
S-e-e-e-ex!
Thats true
Mother couldnt care less about flying cars in parking lots.
But what about dragons?
They werent for sale, and they could not be found on this.
What do you think?
I like it! Ill go with that idea.
There were more dragons that didnt belong to Fantasy than one might think.
However, since their life and free will were also important, I couldnt just coerce them into bing pets.
Hence, I chose a guy that could be ignored.
*****
Are you really going to be okay? I asked, not because I was anxious about leaving my ever so slowly growing son, Sidael, to my mother. Rather, what I was most anxious about was
Sleloli?
That name is a bit Anyway, Im worried because I think I gave my mother a very bad dragon as a gift.
Its okay. Sleloli is a little soft, but I will educate her and raise her well.
If you say so
My mother was busy looking at my present.
Thanks to it, I was able to leave, promising to be back before dinner.
250 years.
She initially acted strangely, but my mother, free from magic addiction, was now just as I remembered her.
Except she stopped swinging tennis rackets on the fly now!
Hence, my desire to be childish surged.
I still did my best to get out of the house, though.
Ill try to find him soon.
Id surely hunt down and crush the spine of that damned infidel who interfered with my parents psyche!
How?
We should start with the pharmaceuticalpany that manufactured the rejuvenation pill. Its not that far from here.
Does distance matter to us when we can cross gxies?
Youre only sharp when its not needed, wife.
Give me a purepliment, handsome husband! Be more like those people who keep ncing at us.
No thanks.
I ignored the earthlings that praised Ssosia, whose appearance was only slightly better than average in Fantasy.
Inner beauty was far more important anyway since external beauty was bound to follow good-looking spines.
Mr. Kang Han Soo!
In front of the pharmaceuticalpany, a woman greeted and waved her hand at me, seemingly familiar with my identity.
Who are you?
Your first words after our reconciliation are just too harsh! Have you forgotten me already?! Im the woman who could have be your wife!
There are several women who make that kind of mistake every year.
I dont remember you being this arrogant in the past.
Ill ask you again. Who are you?
Ssosia answered my question instead.
Nice to meet you, Victoria. We didnt even say we wereing, but you still managed to find us.
I heard from mother that Kang Han Soo wasing soon
As I listened to the story of the two women, I realized it.
Ah, Factoria! You shouldve said so right away.
Dont pretend to remember me when you just called me by mypanys name! She even mentioned my name already!
I dont know Victoria, but I remember someone telling me shes a factory girl thats going to be my brothers wife.
Ah
So, who are you?
Im Factoria. hohoho
Ssosia was looking at me, possibly for being too mean, but if she was truly a potential wife of my younger brother, who didnt even like her, she should be prepared to be treated like this.
I have business with your pharmaceuticalpany.
I run many manufacturing nts, but the reason you specifically came here is probably because of the rejuvenation pills, right?
Yes.
If it were an ordinary drug, I wouldnt have cared so much.
But it contained magic.
That was the problem.
Where did she get a wizard for it?
In Fantasy, if one mixed materials A and B through process C, magic was created.
However, this method was possible because the materials were infused with magic from the beginning.
They were simply extracted, not made.
All magic in that world, after all, came from the Demon Lord. There was no exception to that rule.
But after scattering it on Earth in the past 20 or so years, I never supplied it again.
If so, then where did this pharmaceuticalpany get so much magic from?
Im sorry. I didnt know Dark Energy was part of this medicines ingredients. If I had known, I would have stopped taking it myself.
After hearing the gist of the situation from Ssosia, Factoria took a rejuvenation pill from her pocket to prove she was drinking it herself.
She said she also took care of her tight skin and strong spine from time to time
Wheres your supplier?
Looking at this pharmaceuticalpanys factory facilities, I couldnt help butugh.
They only mixed vitamins with the diluted Dark Energy, but it went through a noisy process that reminded me of modern alchemy.
Well, they did have to make the drugs production method look believable for visiting investors.
Wait.
Factoria called the officials and confirmed the source of its core material.
However, they provided quite a sloppy answer.
Overhearing their conversation earlier, I asked, Are you uncertain?
Thats Yes. This is mypany, yet I didnt even know this was going on in it
Herplexion grew pale.
I didnt know much about her business, but her career would be over if the public were to learn that the rejuvenation pill they released to the market was infused with Dark Energy.
One might think that magic wouldnt mean much here on Earth. However, the prejudice that it was an extremely harmful existence was deeply ingrained in humanity by the Fantasy graduates who defeated the Demon Lord.
Now that they had already sold the drug
Even if the public demanded to have herpanypletely dismantled, she would have no way to defend herself.
Keep up the good work, Factoria.
Huh? Will it be okay? Being dominated by Dark Energy is
Hey. Who do you think I am?
A Legendary Hero Oh.
Thats right. Im also the Demon Lord.
There was no Dark Energy in this world that did not obey me.
The time hade to y Hide and Seek, except there were about a hundred million seekers.
Chapter 415 - [32nd Round] World of Dark Energy
Chapter 415 - [32nd Round] World of Dark Energy
Assistant Manager Kim. How the hell are you going to get things done? Is getting married all you think about? Is that where your life ends?
Im sorry, boss. Due tock of time and budget
Hey! Stop making excuses! From today on, even after staying up all night youre still
Boss?
I have to find him.
Find who?
Him! Hes telling me to find his brother.
Huh?
Assistant Manager Kim. From now on, youre going to find his brother with me. If you make excuses again this time, dont expect your punishment to end overnight.
Got it!
Haha! Manager Park is doing everything right. Im going as well!
Even the boss?!
I had instructed thousands of demon worshipers on Earth.
Most of them mistakenly thought they were taking a rejuvenation pill, not Dark Energy, so they unintentionally became addicted to it, but that was the same in Fantasy.
The only people who took it knowing what it truly was were those who had developed mental protection skills or had been pushed to the edge of a cliff.
There was only one payment I demanded from those who had been rejuvenated and reinvigorated.
Find my brother.
If he were hiding on Earth, he would definitely be caught.
It would be a different story if he were in an uninhabited desert or seabed, but that would make him easier to spot anyway.
While it was difficult to find red marbles in a ss bottle full of pink marbles, red marbles in a box of white sand were easy to find because they stood out even stronger despite the wider search area.
I didnt even do this myself.
Sociology Teacher.
Pop!
Utilizing my position as the Fantasy Institution President, I summoned an employee of mine.
You called, sir?
Sociology Teacher, who had grown thinner after suffering at the hands of Director Bakery, politely greeted me.
I couldnt understand the situation.
Shouldnt it be much easier to manage the school now that it had been reduced to a single dimension?
Your work seems to be harder than it used to be. If you have something to petition, nows your chance. Ill keep it a secret from Bakery.
Ah! Thank you!
You have nothing to be thankful for. Ill benefit from this as well anyway.
Yes. The Heroes who lived as the protagonists of their own separate worlds became normal again when we unified the dimensions. There are more of them than there are mercenaries, but those who couldnt ept their new reality withdrew away from their duties because they couldnt adapt to society. Thats why Im so busy raising pets tofort them
It seemed that the Heroes who had been suffering from 8th-grade syndrome down to their core had now returned to bing socially mdjusted.
That was really annoying.
Well discuss that with Director Bakery soon.
Thank you!
Lets get back to the matter at hand, shall we? I called you here because a family member of mine is missing.
Oh, my
If you have a pet that specializes in finding people, lend them to me.
This is a really huge predicament, but dont worry. Picking me among the many teachers out there was an excellent decision. It is my job to find people who have hidden away from society, after all.
Youre very talented, arent you?
In work rted to social misfits, he seemed to be close to an all-rounder.
Thank you for thepliment! Then, since this is urgent, Ill get started right away.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Sociology Teacher waved his hands in the air, summoning his pets.
Maaang!
Gaaang!
Familiar dogs appeared.
Cow-sized ck wolves with red and blue mes surrounding their heads like a lions mane.
These are the hellhounds father-inw raised.
Thats right. Im saying this because its already in the past, but I helped him too. The length of his imprisonment mentally exhausted him, so I rmended he take care of pets. I took custody of these two after they lost their owners and resorted to wandering aimlessly.
Maaang!
Gaaang!
They wagged their tails, showing affection.
Great.
They were no more than sources of experience for me in the past, so this was a new feeling for me.
Since theyre of hunting dog descent, searching for something or someone exhrates them. However, it takes them a bit of time if space leaps are involved since traces of those often break.
I see.
It couldnt be helped.
How could one find a human who had disappeared without leaving even a single thread of hair behind, let alone footprints?
But these dogs simply said, itll take time.
That meant they could find even someone who could escape by leaping through space.
That alone should be enough to say that these Fantasy hunting dogs were the best of the best when it came to tracking down a target.
Give me your brothers belongings, and well start immediately. Ah! The red ones Manggu, and the blue ones Ganggu. Their previous owner insisted on calling them strange names, unfortunately.
Right.
Simply put, these were pets around level 900.
It seemed they had always been extremely well-trained by Sociology Teacher. However, my father-inw couldnt maximize their potential since he didnt call them by their names properly.
Maaang~
Gaaang~
Oh! They find the Dark Energy the president is exuding quite pleasant, possibly because it smells the same as their previous owner. Call them by name, put the missing persons belongings under their noses, and theyll swiftly begin searching.
Theyre smart.
They say the best breeds have the best trainers.
His tone depicted his pride in his work.
If they find it, Ill make sure to reward you in addition to your work adjustment.
Id be very happy if you can take care of these two, now that theyre ownerless. If you dont like them after youve taken them with you, please return them to me instead of abandoning them.
Youre amazing.
I couldnt even imagine how hard it was for him to let go of pets he loved truly.
Hahaha! Ill be taking my leave now!
Pop.
Sociology Teacher returned to Fantasy, leaving behind the two dogs with me.
He was probably really busy.
Maaang.
Gaaang.
Hmm. Manggu, Ganggu.
Maaang!
Gaaang!
Following their trainers instructions, I held out the hat that my brother often wore, allowing them to memorize its scent.
Sniff sniff.
Sniff sniff.
The two hounds immediately mobilized as soon as they were done.
Out of town
Ah! Were in a maritime city. What should I do
Ssh! Ssh!
Ssh! Ssh!
These dogs looked like they were willing to cross the Pacific Ocean if that was what it would take to reach their targets.
If possible, I wanted to move them to drynd, but their swimming speed was so fast I thought it would be best to leave them alone.
But, my husband.
What is it?
If you were going to do this, wouldnt it have been better to get Manggu and Ganggu from the beginning instead of disrupting the peoples daily lives first?
Youre wrong.
My demon followers scurrying from all directions limited my brothers actions, thus making it harder for him to leave his hiding spot. As a result, this has be a simple game of hide-and-seek, not tag.
I see.
This is the method I used when I received a request from King R to find the princess who ran away from home.
Did you find her?
Of course. She locked herself up in a luxury inn so she wouldnt be found out.
Thats pathetic.
Having entrusted my work to 100 million taggers and two dogs, I came home earlier than I promised.
Why?
Youre home earlier than I thought.
Because my mother, dressed in tennis attire, was waiting for me.
As I should.
You still have a good sense of humor.
Without it, I wouldnt have been able to survive in Fantasy.
I wasnt kidding.
If it hadnt been for my ability to read the room, which I learned from her, I never wouldve been able to finish the first round.
Strength wasnt everything.
After all, no one was strong right at the beginning.
It was only through growth that a person could be more powerful than they started.
So youre powerful now, huh?
Haha. I dont lose anymore.
Pop.
I summoned a tennis racket, a replica of the one I used when I was still in high school, in the air.
I built it based on memory.
Youre confident.
Im no longer the same person as I was in high school. I had poor physical strength then.
Well know about that when we y, wont we?
Youre right.
I decided to go easy on her.
I had the physical ability to catch up to light itself. That alone infinitely converged my chances of losing to 0%.
I used this as a way to reminisce about the past instead.
*****
I Lost?
Since I was a filial son, I was nning to lose from the beginning.
But I didnt expect such a devastating defeat at all.
It was as if she was possessed by a demon.
Your body, which was of poor quality, has definitely improved.
I dont feel much better now, though
Thats because a million years is still too early for you to defeat your mother. Huhuhu~
Of course, I yed with a good conscience.
I yed with a good conscience, but even so, I was still superior to her in every way Yet the result said otherwise.
I was speechless.
Now that your game is over, let me give you a piece of advice. Your moves are too honest.
Too honest?
My father, ying with his grandson, gave me guidance.
That was ridiculous.
I specialized in abnormal movements so much that I had never failed to grasp my opponents spine.
But my moves were still too honest?
I wanted to deny it, but I couldnt since I had just lost. I would sound like a sore loser.
Are you still suffering from 8th-grade syndrome despite how old you are, son? If you think youre the only one thats grown over the past 25 years, you are terribly mistaken.
Then
I couldnt retaliate against her sermon.
I knew.
No, I was certain others developed in their own ways as well.
In Fantasy, the Demon Lord remained dormant while waiting for the Hero, but that wouldnt be the case in reality.
Everyone progressed.
To Heroes, others might seem like theyre walking in ce since they enjoyed a 5x multiplier to their experience, but every person still developed or degraded nheless.
Nobody just stood still.
Still, logically speaking, it was only natural for my growth to be overwhelming after living for 250 years.
But this result stated otherwise.
Tennis is not a game where you can win just because you are in good shape. Its a very profound sport.
My father gave me another piece of advice.
Well, people who have worn out their knee cartge tend to retire to ying badminton.
Thatsmon sense!
Regardless, defeat was defeat.
As I pondered over his advice about my predictable movements, I carefully looked around the indoor tennis court, the interior and facilities of which were different from the outdoor ones I used to go to with my parents.
But the people who used it were the same everywhere.
Oh. Hanjins mother. Werent you depressed because he ran away? What has happened since then?
My eldest son returned. Its that guy who looks like a ck bear.
Oh my goodness. His physique is so different from your youngest that I didnt even think hes yours. I thought he was your cousin.
Hohoho! Please y with himter when you have time. Ive been teaching him tennis since middle school, so hes pretty good at it.
Really? Then why dont we give him a little test now?
I probably looked easy since I already lost once.
Hence, I yed tennis several times with my local aunts and uncles.
And won every single match!
I didnt even have to use my divine powers.
Oh my goodness. You y really well! Just like your mother!
I know youre ten years younger, but even so!
Haha! Im just healthy! Thank you for thepliment, though.
I got too careless this time. Lets have another match next time.
I hadnt yed tennis in so long, so my skills were a bitcking, but I solved it by mixing my overwhelming physical ability with Z-rank Swordsmanship and a cut through the ball! mindset.
None of my victories helped me understand how I was defeated by my mother, though
This is strange.
Nevertheless, I still felt happy when I heard my mother boast about me in excitement, saying, My son went to a first-ss university!
Well, she wasnt wrong.
I regained my position, which had been taken away by my missing brother, little by little.
This is great.
This was a much more important mission than saving Fantasy a hundred times.
Five dayster.
Maaang!
Gaaang!
The two hellhounds I borrowed from Sociology Teacher sent me a signal.
Chapter 416 - [32nd Round] Do You Know Carrots?
Chapter 416 - [32nd Round] Do You Know Carrots?
I finally found him Oh! Ill be going to the bathroom for a while.
I didnt dy.
After giving the bathroom excuse to avoid suspicion at the tennis court, I immediately jumped through space.
Pod!
The two dogs then guided me.
Maaang!
Gaaang!
What about my brother?
Maaang?
Gaaang?
Ha
Their stupidity was so immense they were starting to bring shame to the name of hellhounds.
But it wasntpletely in vain.
In front of me was a luxurious mansion with a rustic design reminiscent of the Demon Lords Castle, the predecessor of my tower.
I couldnt find the house owner, but there were traces of someone living here until recently.
Was my brother hiding here?
It seemed the two dogs had found his hideout deep in this forest. I didnt know which country or province this was in, but it had to have been quite a distance from where I lived.
Pop!
Have you found him, husband?
A beatter, Ssosia appeared beside me.
No. He probably noticed and ran away before I could get here.
Thats amazing. You might not be aware of this, but Manggu and Ganggus tracking abilities are beyond extraordinary.
Is that so?
That alone made it clear that he was no ordinary human being.
It looked like Id have to choose another crucial decision again.
Should I search this area intensively, or should I keep searching extensively?
Or
Should I stop the search since he might no longer be on this?
I had been worried about it ever since.
What are you going to do?
I have to find him. I know we already discovered and took advantage of the Dark Energy utilization earlier, but as his older brother, shouldnt I meet him at least once?
Thats right.
Besides, he avoided my eyes, I, who was a god.
If he had been a simple human, I wouldve already caught him using my own detection ability, eliminating the need to mobilize people.
For example, even now, I knew where my mother was and what she was doing.
She was gossiping about me.
It was because Sleloli, whom I gave to her as a pet, took the form of a pretty girl and retold countless stories about my past.
Listen to this, master. Your son beat me up in the past.
Oh! He hit a dragon as cute as you?
Yes. He relentlessly kicked my ass and strangled me. Sniff.
Im disappointed. To think my son only pretended to be normal in front of me but actually enjoyed such a sadistic hobby when Im not looking
Please protect me, master.
You dont have to worry about my son from now on, Sleloli. If you listen to me carefully, he wont hurt you.
O-okay
I gave that lizard to my mother to serve as her car and maid, but it was snitching on me without evidence.
That grayish dragon would have to be disciplined in privateter.
Hey~ Seeing this reminds me of the old days~
Ssosia yfully swung a rocking chair back and forth.
When exactly?
I didnt have that even in the Demon Lords Castle.
Quite a long time ago, when I still admired my mother since I didnt know yet that she was a bad being that would try to steal my husband from me. Dad, mom, and I used to live together in a house just like this.
Your dad, huh
Now that I thought about it, my father-inw Pedonar also disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.
After leaving the family business to me, his son-inw, he immediately left and was probably doing really well somewhere in the universe.
I felt bad, thinking I was forced to pay off my father-inws debt.
Ding-dong!
Someone rang the doorbell of my brothers hideout.
Whoever it was, it was unlikely to be involved with my brother. Perhaps it was just Neighbor A, remaining oblivious to this entire situation.
However, we were so deep in the mountain that this ce probably didnt have many visitors
I decided to meet them for now.
Wife.
Alright. Wait.
I sent out the two dogs to the yard and my wife to meet our guest.
I looked around the interior of my brothers hideout a little more.
Creaakk
The rocking chair kept standing out.
I feel like Im missing an important clue.
I just couldnt figure out what it was.
Husband, say hello. Hes your brothers guest.
His guest?
After listening to his business, I thought Ssosia would send her away, but he was invited inside instead.
He looked like an ordinary farmer, but his charred face was very unusual.
Youre Hanjins older brother? You two dont look like each other at all. Haha! Anyway, nice to meet you. I am but a farmer that grows carrots around here.
After introducing himself, he took a carrot out of his pocket and handed it to me.
Uh Thank you.
Carrots are amazing since they contain a lot of Vitamin A. If youre a Hero aiming for the top, you must take care of your vision. In that case, the health of your eyes should be prioritized, right?
The appearance of carrots here was a bit unusual, but what was even more ridiculous was the farmer discussing it with so much passion.
At that time, Ssosia tried to help me by pretending not to know anything.
I am his mothers tennis senior. She told me to teach him how to y the sport.
My mothers tennis senior?
What brought you here? I asked.
I came to give Hanjin some of the carrots I harvested yesterday. This vi is a secret ce only we know. Isnt its view really nice? This is a rare ce on this polluted.
Well, as he said, this wintry scene filled with pure white snow and green pine trees was breathtaking.
But that was weird.
Is it possible to grow carrots in this cold weather?
With sincerity, anything is possible. What is scarier than the weather is the heart of a grower.
If anything were possible with sincerity, terms like seasonal food and tropical fruit wouldnt have been poprized.
But when the farmer handed out a carrot still covered in dirt, I couldnt help but wonder if it was actually possible.
My brothers currently missing. Do you have any idea where he went?
Hmm? We met and had a conversation like any other day yesterday, but he was missing? Hmm. It seems he came here without telling his mother.
Yesterday
He went missing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and got here on the same day?
If he took an airne, he could go anywhere on the in one day, but there was little time difference based on his story.
It was as if he suddenly appeared here as soon as he disappeared.
That was not a feat ordinary humans could attain.
Since there was no way he was a Fantasy graduate, was my younger brother really a high-level demon?
This was confusing me so much.
Huh? Thats
The farmer stopped abruptly amid his exnation about all the benefits carrots could bring, his expression screaming his terror.
Dont panic. That iridescent slime does not harm anyone. Rather, he actually helps in developing
Mon.
Huh?
He knew?
How could a farmer from Earth know of Master Mon when even Fantasy savages were unaware of him?
The slime is a pet from a man I dont like.
How
Hanjins older brother. Look at the world with a broader perspective and a humble heart. The person you considered insignificant might just grow up to rule the entire universe, including yourself.
He was no ordinary farmer.
I felt that way from the moment we met, but I was convinced when he tantly showed he knew the Great Being.
Seemingly reading my mind, he continued immediately.
I taught Hanjin how to live. Even though that young man couldnt even digest half of the 623,185,307,199,986 farming methods that I created, I grew quite attached to him since he had been my disciple for quite a long time. I cant believe he suddenly disappeared Ill have to go home and grow some carrots. I shouldnt have taken in a student
Taking a deep breath, the man gently put down the box of carrots he was holding and turned around.
Mon? My master mumbled, sounding doubtful.
Im sorry for overreacting to your presence, ordinary mon. Your ancestors master and I simply have a few disagreements, so dont worry about it.
Mon
The moment I heard the farmers words, I felt like I was struck by lightning.
The only being that could be called Master Mons ancestor was Pope Mon.
And the deity who owned him
The Ignorant War God.
A fraudulent monster with Providence all over his body.
How do you know the War God?
I was his teacher.
Huh?
That was beyond my expectations.
Looking at your cute Mon, you must be very close to him. However, never speak of me around him, got that? Id like to avoid having to hit my juniors son with carrots.
The farmer tried to leave once more.
When we first met, he just looked strange to me, but now that he had turned around, I couldnt help but notice how wide his shoulders and back were.
Now that I looked closer, his spine was also quite amazing.
Hold on. Are you going to leave after acting all suspicious?
My brother was no longer the problem here.
The suspicious farmer in front of me was.
I saw my new hopes and dreams in him.
[Hero]
I activated my Providence.
People who had disagreements with the Ignorant God of War yet still lived to tell the tale couldnt be thatmon.
If my guess was correct
Hanjin often told me that his brother is an impable warrior.
He spoke calmly, showing no hints of surprise.
No, one couldnt see Providence unless they were a true god in the first ce.
But I still couldnt identify him.
Hence, I asked bluntly.
What kind of god are you?
What kind of god do you think I am?
Did he just answer my question with a question?
I hated that technique quite a lot.
Inadvertently, I stretched my right hand out between his 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae.
Did I make a mistake?
As soon as I tried to attack him, the corners of his mouth curved upwards as he gave my movements a mocking stare, almost as if my offensive was so weak I wasnt even worth responding to.
Ah.
Tok.
The carrot he was holding hit the back of my hand, causing my strike to miss.
I nced at my right hand.
In one calm motion, he broke it.
Feeling like I just received a jolt of lightning directly to my muscles, I trembled.
I made it impossible for you to use your hand, but youre only ever so slightly trembling at this fact. You truly arent normal.
Who are you? I asked again.
Did he notice I wouldnt let him go quietly like this?
He didnt seem to want to cause a bigger mess since he was in hiding. Hence, he answered my questions politely this time.
I am the god who has been deprived of 314,159,265,358,993 swordsmanships by the Ignorant God of War.
The moment I heard those words, I realized.
Monroid?
When I mentioned the army of androids equipped with terrifying swordsmanship, he replied a little differently from what I expected.
You look like youve already fought them. Good. You pass.
???A certain perfect sword god continues to hand a certain righteous divine being carrots.???
Sword god
A certain sword god handed me a carrot.
What do you think of swords?
After Fantasy, I had to deal with martial arts now?
Why wouldnt these gods give me a break
Chapter 417 - [32nd Round] Grandchildren
Chapter 417 - [32nd Round] Grandchildren
The sword is
Im not interested in that. Just briefly exin what you were doing here with my brother.
Hmm If you had fought the monroids, then you probably want to win against them next time around. If you want to be stronger than you are now
Ill figure out how to do that myself. Thats what Ive done before and will continue to do so. Now, about my brother.
Youre quite quick-tempered, friend.
Thats a strange thing to say.
I didnt even care what the Ignorant War God did to this god who wielded carrots as swords.
There was only one thing I desired.
To beat up my younger brother forying his hands on my parents!
Well, Im not free enough to force people who dont want to listen. How about this? I will lend you my Providence, so please use it to smash the monroids.
Not going to happen.
You dont even know how topromise! In times like this, all you have to do is say thank you.
I dont understand your reasoning at all. Why are you trying to make others do it for you? You should just do it yourself.
I told you I was hiding here. Have you forgotten already?
If thats the case, then
???A certain innocent goddess says she didnt see anything.???
He had already been caught.
This
???A certain perfect sword god is filled with frustration.???
???A certain innocent goddess says not to worry about it.???
???A certain perfect sword god squeezes his head.???
Do it yourself.
Realizing the Innocent Goddess had caught him, he despondently sat down on the rocking chair then proceeded to exin his predicament.
My divine power wasposed of 314 trillion swordsmanships that could deal with any situation. With it, I could even cut through the universe with one carrot. A long time ago, I taught him my swordsmanship. (omitted) For the sake of world peace, he copied my techniques and transnted them to androids, creating an absurd army of monsters. His intentions are clearly sublime, but I was forced to fall into a sense of rtive deprivation.
Youve lost the skill youve spent your whole life honing.
I suppressed my annoyance towards him for a moment and gently sat on the sofa next to him.
He piqued my interest.
As the Righteous Hero, I couldnt just overlook this subject.
For justice!
The act of ignoring the misfortune and damage of the few was below me.
How should the Righteous GGG-ss Hero cope with this sudden situation?
I couldnt say for sure, so I decided to listen a bit more.
So I created 314 trillion additional swordsmanships to battle the existing 314 trillion swordsmanships that can cope with all situations.
Go on.
Regardless of whether his story was true or not, I already knew he was a great and powerful god just by looking at the astronomical number of swordsmanships he had.
That was probably why he became the sword god.
If someone took everything away from me for a cause, I would have vowed to take revenge.
But this man persevered and looked for another way.
That alone spoke of his greatness.
After all, it was a form of justice that I couldntmit to.
However, after making 628 trillion swordsmanships, I felt empty again since I had no ce to use it for. If I were to pass them on to others and make them fight against the monroids, this universes peace might be shattered.
Thats true
He would create a virus to exact revenge for him, but he would destroy universal peace in the process.
Shouldnt this man stop using swords and be a Hero instead?
It definitely seemed like he picked the wrong job.
Still, it saddens me that Im the only one who knows about all of my 628 trillion swordsmanships.
Uncle Sword God.
If possible, please call me Uncle Carrot. Sword God sounds no different from being the god of murder, so Ive always hated it. Grant me this request, at least.
Then, Uncle Carrot.
Yes.
You want peace in the universe, but your reputation matters too, right?
The way you worded it sounds snobbish, but youre not wrong.
Then youve already seeded.
Huh?
While I was fighting the monroids, they clearly mentioned their 314 trillion swordsmanships belong to a certain sword god. The universe already knows of your name, and the very people you hated are the ones who spread it.
Ah
The Mon Corps and the Ignorant War God arent as savage as you think.
But as opponents, they were certainly dangerous, considering they were powerful enough to be called invincible.
The great god in front of me grew speechless.
Since you persevered for the peace of the universe even if it meant being deprived of your skills, I think everyone should recognize your noble heart as well. Moreover, the Mon Corps, the monroids included, and the War God behind them arent always right. I was a victim of their mistakes, too.
Can you tell me your story?
Of course.
I made every effort to exin everything in detail from the beginning, which I, the Righteous Hero, rarely did.
Immediately after telling him my history with Monsoft in such a lengthy way, I said, Something like that
In response, he reacted the way I hoped he would.
He resented them as if he was the one who experienced it and apologized to me as if it was his fault.
This was the ideal oue for me.
He showed interest in the bait I cast.
There are many people out there who are being treated unfairly by your 314 trillion swordsmanships, Uncle Carrot, but its not your fault, so be strong and cheer up.
Thank you so much for saying that
If you ever want to, pleasee by the Fantasy Institutionter. As I said before, I use that ce to nurture those who want justice to stand tall in the universe.
I dont think we need to wait untilter.
Huh?
Thank you for showing me the right path while I was lost in the abyss. Ive decided to teach my 628 trillion swordsmanships to righteous Heroes. I will atone for the mistakes of my past by developing those who can help the people thatve been treated unfairly by the Mon Corps like you.
Is that so
I reached out to him, pretending I didnt just seed in manipting him.
We shook hands.
I wish you all the best in the future, Fantasy President.
Me too, Carrot Teacher.
I just caught a ridiculously big fish!
Everything was going ording to n.
*****
The sword god returned home to pack up.
Immediately after that, my cowardly wife, who had been silent all this time, almost as if she was holding her breath, trembled.
Phew! That was amazing, handsome husband! You just turned the sword god into one of our teachers!
Is that guy that famous?
Yes! As you said, the monroids talked like parrots about the source of their swordsmanship, so everyone knows about him!
Right.
Im so excited! Students who want to learn his swordsmanship will flock to the Fantasy Institution in the future!
Is that so?
Listening to Ssosias words, it seemed I caught a fish bigger than I expected.
???A certain restless demonic god calls someone a pushover.???
He talked too much!
Wait, since when had he been snooping around?
???A certain innocent goddess agrees that a certain restless demonic god talks too much.???
???A certain restless demonic god says its true.???
???A certain innocent goddess throws her pillow with all her might.???
???A certain restless demonic god defends himself, screaming.???
They should y quietly.
I needed GGG-rank Incitement and Fabrication to persuade the sword god, but it was worth it.
Because of him, I now saw the path I needed to pursue in the future.
It was realistically impossible for me to defeat the War God since all gods currently supported him.
However, wouldnt it be possible to put a stop to his dominance?
It was a very dangerous idea.
But if one were to retreat because it was dangerous, they didnt deserve to be called a Hero.
[Hero]
I would never do anything that would bring shame to my Providence!
Such an act would be no different from denying my life, after all.
Its about time we leave Earth, handsome husband. I know you want to stay longer, but
Visiting my home once after so long is enough for me. Ill be negotiating with my parents tonight as well.
About what?
About bringing them to my home.
To Fantasy.
It wasnt that they were in a difficult situation or that their house was too small forfort.
However, after witnessing the tricks my brother did to my parents, I immediately realized I could no longer dy this. If I did, I might just regret it.
I decided to take my parents to the safest ce I knew.
It wouldnt be easy
Ill have to use their cute grandchildren against them.
Ah! So youve decided to use cowardly attacks, your specialty, huh?
How is that my specialty?
My cowardly wife turned away from me after uttering such unfounded sophistry, all to feign innocence.
Your little brother is a little stupid, isnt he?
Yeah. I didnt expect him to go to Fantasy after running away from home.
ording to the information I received from Uncle Carrot, it seemed that my younger sibling had been habitually saying that he admired life in Fantasy.
If he escaped to a different, I probably never wouldve found him again.
Conversely, I didnt know hed crawl right into the lions den.
Husband. There is a saying that the beacon is dark underneath.
It depends on the beacon.
There was no such thing as darkness in mine, after all.
Well, you still need to convince your parents toe with you, husband. Ill go ahead and prepare the house where theyll be staying.
S-e-e-ex? S-e-e-e-ex!
Mon~ Mon~
Master Mon and my cowardly wife rode her obscene stingray back to Fantasy.
As for me
It was time to begin my fight to bring my beloved parents to Fantasy!
*****
It ended up being surprisingly easy.
This was because Sleloli, who was already homesick, had been gently persuading my parents.
Werent they too obsessed with their pet?
However, I decided to let it slide this time since we shared the same goals anyway.
Their grandchildren easily put an end to the little resistance that was left of them, too.
Hello!
Although the first grandson to visit them was my adopted son, Green Cake.
Having dealt with numerous Heroes, he quickly analyzed his grandparents to please them.
Hohoho!
Hahaha!
As a result, they couldnt stop theirughter due to my boys wit.
Hello. I am Chris Kureil.
There was nothing cute about Haris, my son with Kaisa, who visited the second time.
If Kaisa hade with us, this mamas boys attitude wouldve been slightly different. Unfortunately, her existence was tied to Fantasy.
This grandson of ours is definitely handsome. He doesnt look anything like our son, and he has a great personality, too.
I agree.
Thank you.
Haris, who showed a strangepetitive spirit against Green Cake, created a friendly atmosphere around my family.
Chapter 418 - [32nd Round] 8th Grade
Chapter 418 - [32nd Round] 8th Grade
I immediately discovered my brothers current location as soon as I returned to Fantasy.
However, finding what he was doing quite interesting, I decided to observe him for a while instead.
I was busy too, anyway.
Cafe in Fantasy
Would such a concept work in this barbaric world, where there were only taverns for savage mercenaries toe and go?
But I couldnt break my mothers persistence.
It was my dream to chat with the localdies while drinking coffee my husband brewed.
Is that so
I did as she wished.
Decorating a detached house in the quiet forest near the Demon Lords Tower, Ssosia gained enlightenment.
I think I know now whose influence is behind my handsome husbands strange dream.
Stop chatting around and focus on looking for a venue.
I dont know much about cafes, but wouldnt putting it in the middle of a densely popted downtown area be ideal?
Ill leave this task to your judgment.
What about you?
Everyones essentially having a vacation right now. We have to gradually bring the students back to Fantasy and resume sses again.
Ah! Finally
Ssosias pout turned into a smile, her eyes filling up with anticipation.
Just as I dreamed of bing the owner of a cafe managed by my wife, Ssosia dreamed of developing the institution.
Hence, her excitement when I told her we were about to resume sses wasnt all that surprising.
You should move my parents house andbine it with my business n to make things easier for you. The second floor will serve as their residence, and the first floor will be the cafe. Do you understand?
Yes!
After entrusting this work to Ssosia, I called for a meeting with the school management.
There were only two other participants aside from me.
Director Bakery.
Deputy Director Hippolia.
It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say the future of the Fantasy Institution and its would be decided here.
Realistically speaking, its far too inefficient to gather everyone in one dimension. The minor and major problems that urred in Festival evidence that.
Bakery handed over a report.
Hmm. There were indeed a lot of idents.
I groaned, skimming through its contents.
This was the result of gathering socially mdjusted people in one ce
I was at a loss for words.
But this method has also proven to have a positive effect. In the past curriculums secondary education, ten Heroes in total were assembled, resulting in multiple advantages that came with the increase in their teams numbers.
But doesnt that present more disadvantages?
On the contrary, I think the answer to that depends on the number of students rallied together.
Hippolia quietly continued the Bakerys presentation.
Thats why we think the dimension should be divided ording to the Heroes level.
No.
I cut her opinion without much consideration.
I already recollected and merged the memories and souls of Fantasys natives.
Yet they suggested splitting them up again?
I would never let it happen.
Please listen to my exnation a little more and reconsider, master. Only the dimension will be broken into fragments. The natives themselves will simply be migrating.
Hmm
In that case, I had no reason to object.
The only question left now was how many dimensions it should be separated into.
As its number increased, so did its burden on me.
Given the current number of students and staff, weve concluded that eight dimensions, hereby referred to as grades, would be most appropriate.
I see. I smiled unknowingly.
That many wouldnt be a big deal to me at all.
Not eighty thousand or eight thousand, only eight?
Their tax on me would be much less since I didnt even have to copy the locals.
The amount needed for its maintenance was so insignificant I wouldnt even feel like my Providence weakened at all.
Please dont underestimate this task, President.
What do you mean?
Our highest course right now, the tertiary education course, is only at the same level as the third grade.
Wait, thats
Director Bakery continued in a firm tone.
We devised this new education system based on your past growth process. However, to implement it, their final opponent must be as strong as former Director Parmael.
Thats going to take a lot of energy.
Thats right.
They chose quality over quantity.
In the past, the tertiary education course consumed much more power than those below it.
However, it was apparently only equal to the new education systems 3rd grade.
Based on that alone, as Bakery and Hippolia said, if the 8th grade were implemented, its admission requirements would be quite high.
That posed a problem.
Are our teachers even capable enough to teach the 8th grade?
Bakery and Hyppolia looked at each other, then responded as if they had been waiting for that exact question.
Well have to go through it ourselves first to find out.
Thats right.
They prepared quite a lot for this.
You say that so easily.
If all the teachers went back to school, Fantasy Institution would be paralyzed.
Its okay. Most of the students are still in first and second grades, and nobody has reached the higher levels yet. The ones in the lead are currently in 4th grade, but there are only a few of them. Even a small number of teachers can handle them by themselves.
It seems you two thought this through quite thoroughly. How can I help?
We need time.
I see
Splitting the Fantasy dimension apart wouldnt be the end of it.
It would take a considerable amount of time for the locals to migrate and settle.
That wasnt all.
It would also take quite a bit for the teachers to graduate from the eighth grade.
I wont be enrolling in 8th grade.
Baker smiled bitterly.
Is it too much for you?
No, but if not for my apostle position, Id only be in 6th grade.
Isnt this new education systems difficulty set too high, Director?
No. Didnt the President reach a level so far it cant be categorized as a grade in only two centuries? Compared to that, this is nothing.
Hmm
Just because one was a good athlete while they were still active didnt mean they would be a good coach or mentor.
That applied to me as well.
I had no intention of arguing with the two of them, considering they had been in this business for far longer.
As the final decision maker, I only asked questions and either confirmed or rejected their idea based on the information presented.
Of course, I had no intention of bing a yes man.
Supply all grades with monphones formunication. And open a channel for them to talk to their families through. This is non-negotiable. Its doable anyway, is it not?
Yes.
Good. Ill entrust and leave the details to you. Provide me a brief reportter in the evening, Hippolia.
Yes, master.
Should I end the meeting now?
Hmm
No.
My little brother entered Fantasy voluntarily.
What?
The young master?
Their eyes widened, surprised by the unexpected situation.
Smiling, I gave them an order.
Put him in 8th grade and rough him up a little.
If he dies
Its okay.
His righteous older brother would resurrect him again and again!
*****
Time eleration.
It sounded extremely convenient, like a 3-minute microwave oven, but that wasnt necessarily the case.
Suppose I sped up a students time 3600 times, turning an hour into a second, a day into twenty-four seconds, and a year into about 2 hours.
From a teachers perspective, it would seem as if they graduated in a day.
But from their perspective, they had been studying on their own for years, relying only on textbooks since they didnt receive any lectures from teachers!
Students werent livestock.
Unless the textbooks provided were far superior to private tutoring, a school could never produce excellent graduates with time alone.
But I have no choice.
Fantasys faculty and staff members had to be deployed to the frontlines. However, they couldnt just sit around and learn slowly like the students.
Hence, I elerated their time.
100 times? 500 times? 1,000 times?
Now that my powers scale, as the GGG-ss Hero, had reached the universal level through various experiences, I could do far more than that.
500,000 times.
A year passed in just a minute.
I could do it a little faster if it were entirely up to me, but Ipromised to this extent in preparation for any unforeseen variables or events.
Im afraid to go in
500,000 times
I want to go back to my mom
Hahaha. Im already starting to regret this
We should be okay, right?
The extreme time eleration frightened the teachers.
An hour in there was about 60 years.
It was long enough for a persons outlook on life to change dozens of times.
We were all very close right now, but that could all change after an hour!
That was what it meant to live in a different time axis.
If you dont want to be pushed back by the students, go in already. Otherwise, feel free to submit your resignation letter now.
The teachers wouldnt be without support anyway.
I provided them a guide.
This is Carrot Teacher. Hes also known as the Sword God. Have you heard of him?
Sword God?
Who?
Most of the faculty members looked puzzled.
Many of them spent their whole lives in Fantasy. Hence, inevitably, most of them only became aware of the gods existence when Monsoft visited us.
Ha
???A certain perfect sword god is disappointed.???
I patted Uncle Carrots shoulder tofort him after being treated like an unknown person.
Haha! Dont worry too much. Most of them have never left Fantasy. Theyre oblivious of what lies beyond this world.
Sigh
This person will guide you through each dimension, ignorant faculty and staff members. Do you understand? If you make him feel ufortable, Ill turn you all into tiny stones.
They responded ordingly.
Oh! That famous swordsman!
Sword God, Music Teacher. Not swordsman.
Wow! It is an honor to meet you, Sword God!
Youre the Excellent Sword God?! Ive adored you since I was a kid!
Perfect, not excellent
Their acting was so clumsy they got their lines wrong from the very beginning, but the gloomy Sword God became as bright as a child.
I couldnt believe he was such a pushover.
His behavior alone left me no choice but to agree with the Restless Demonic Gods opinion.
Well Do your best.
The migration of natives to the eight Fantasy dimensions had already beenpleted.
And in just a few hours after that, thousands of years passed.
Politics, culture, society, country, race
The eight Fantasy worlds took onpletely different forms.
Even their terrains changed.
It wasnt really that surprising, though.
Geography was often altered drastically when natural-disaster-level monsters fought over territory.
The absolute beings for each grade, including their race and religion, were as follows:
1st grade: Human/Mons Teachings/Alex
2nd grade: Mermaid/Mons Teachings/Green Cake
3rd grade: Elf/Great Child Religion/Elf King
4th grade: Dwarf/Goddess Church/Boris
5th grade: Angel/Goddess Church/Umamiel
6th grade: Giant/Great Child Religion/Phoenix
7th Grade: Vampire/Mons Teachings/Shakespeare
8th grade: Dragon/Great Child Religion/Noebius
I didnt want to promote excessivepetition, so I gave them the right to freely move between dimensions upon crossing a certain level.
With that rule, as the years passed, they settled naturally in the current power structure.
The race and religion of each grades majority tended to follow the race and religion of their respective absolute beings, but this was not necessarily the case.
Moreover, the level they ruled over wasnt necessarily based on their abilities.
Otherwise, there was no way Green Cake would only be in 2nd grade.
Anyway, I didnt just sit still and watch.
Morality Teacher! Morality Teacher! Where are you?
I had already be Fantasy Institutions President, but I still hadnt met her!
It was quite shocking.
Hence, I nned to meet her and finally continue our beautiful story!
Just imagining it made my heart flutter!
? Difficulty: Its quite mischievous of you to ask me that when you already know where I am, President Kang Han Soo. Now that my godhood has been discovered, I passed my amazing seniors and entered the 8th grade earlier than they could. Enjoying such a privilege just because Im a deity worries and burdens me, though
Dont let it get to you, Morality Teacher!
This righteous GGG-ss President would personally provide her with an unsophisticated guide!
? Embarrassed: You dont have to do that. Director Bakery is in the 6th grade. Its not good that Im the only one receiving special treatment
Time to head into the 8th grade and apany the beautiful Morality Teacher~!
Special treatment?
I didnt know what she meant.
I was merely inspecting the ssrooms of my students, which was one of my duties as President. Mon.
Chapter 419 - [32nd Round] What Happened to the Universe?
Chapter 419 - [32nd Round] What Happened to the Universe?
Fantasy 8. Name tentative.
For a fresh 8th grader, this dimension, imbued with 5% of my divine power, was far too insane toprehend.
Even the grass here was level 5 or higher.
Aside from seemingly bing more and more difficult as the Heroes breathed in its premises, its rough terrain and unusually fast recovery rate made it difficult to ovee.
This dragon-infested wouldnt be able to withstand its inhabitants recurring onughts otherwise.
Bluuuuuuu!
Greeeeee!
Siiiiiiiiiil!
In its skies, dragons were asmon as sparrows.
That made the consequences of attacking their kind here quite obvious.
Let me ask you for directions, Boy A, for ignoring the new Hero.
Kheck?!
Im the Righteous A-ss Hero, not a bad person looking to shed blood, so you have nothing to worry about. I just need good restaurant rmendations.
L-let go of my neck first Kgh!
There was nothing as good as food when it came to learning about new regions and cultures.
Spicy, salty, nd, sweet, stimting, sour, greasy
The cooking norms of a ce contained various information about it, including the personality of its inhabitants and the state of its environment.
For example
Its texture is so soft!
The dishes at the restaurant rmended by Boy A were soft.
That was because the dragon races cooking skills could be considered poor since they no longer needed to eat upon bing ancient dragons.
It was still amazing, though.
Dragons enved other races to make them cook, but they didnt do it themselves.
Rather, they were generally treated as guardians or disasters by Fantasy 8s natives.
That eliminated the sense of privilege behind keeping other beings leashed and under control.
If I open a restaurant here, it will be a big hit.
However, I couldnt be derailed from my grand n to have dinner at a fancy restaurant with Morality Teacher.
Of course, that didnt mean I had given up.
There were definitely a lot of giant flying lizards living here, but there were other races that coexisted with them that could serve as customers, after all.
That aside
[Hero]
Now that my stomach was full, I looked at Morality Teachers location, finding her farther than I thought.
If I wanted to, I could reach her in the blink of an eye, but that would make me look too snobbish. Hence, deciding not to rush, I took it easy and enjoyed my stay here instead.
Hello, Hero?
Ah, so Noebius lives here.
My dearrade Noebius wasnt in a party.
But where the needle had gone, the thread followed.
Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti.
If she were here, of course, he would be around as well.
No, to be more precise, he was directly under my feet.
The ground was dark, so I didnt notice right away.
The starting point of 8th-grade Heroes was an alpine city built on my best friends back.
He became a whole lot bigger.
Hello.
Hello?
Noebius and Erdantis two daughters greeted me with graceful gestures.
Receiving their wee politely, I turned to Erdanti.
You seem to be doing well.
I mean Im okay now that its been so long since that certain incident ended, but I had a really tough time back then.
I understand.
The real Erdanti who was captured and turned into a pet by Fugitive Senior in the distant past.
And the fake who gave birth to two of Noebiuss children and lived happily ever after.
Their two personalities, having livedpletely opposite lives, merged into one.
I couldnt help but smile faintly due to her mental health progress.
But youre no longer a student, right? Why are you here? I doubt youd want to go back to school.
Inspection.
Ah, I see! As thes owner, youre checking to see if your tenants arefortable.
Something like that.
As the Righteous GGG-ss Owner, I asked her if she noticed any inconveniences to the VVIP upants.
Erdanti pondered for a moment.
I hope a strong person wille to stimte Master Noebiuss interest. Hes still amazing when asleep, but I think 5,000 years is already far too long.
I see.
My friend seemed to have left his wife and children on his back and had been slumbering for five millennia now.
I had no intention of forcing him to wake up, though.
If he suddenly rose, this metropolis built on his broad back would copse.
Stay strong and wait a little longer. He should awaken soon enough. Anything else?
Um Ah! I want to enroll my children in the Fantasy Institution and gain various experiences.
I see.
Did she just put them after their father?
Perhaps that wasnt what the First Saintess intended. ording to her personality, she simply put others before herself.
But I didnt think so.
A mother should always take care of her children before her husband.
In any case, I understood what Erdanti desired.
I cant give you any special privileges, but youre always wee to admit them into the school.
Thank you!
Its not something to be grateful for.
Why dont we have a meal while youre here? Id like to redeem myself for my most recent defeat against you.
Id like that.
Dragons couldnt cook, but those who had engrossed themselves in human society were an exception.
For example:
Lolicoste, the Red Dragon King of the Northern Continent, transformed into a handsome boy to seduce women.
Amsteloli, the Darkness Dragon King of the Western Continent, turned into a beautiful young girl to target kind-hearted men.
Sleloli, the Ice Dragon King of the Southern Continent, made an open-air bath in the middle of the desert.
Lolimania, the Divine Dragon King of the Western Continent, used her believers faith for her own purposes.
Lolitron, the Wyvern King of the Sea of Death, trapped and nurtured Heroes on his ind.
Crownloli, the Sea Dragon King in endless waters, researched various tentacles.
Those six were all upper-middle-ss Named Dragon Kings and were no different from humans on the surface.
The same went for those at the top.
Light Dragon King Lolicalibur, Celestial Dragon King Lolina Locke, Fire Dragon King Dreadloli.
As their names alone suggested, these dragons used appearances not appropriate for their true age.
And the one that stood above them all
Noebius, The Supreme Dragon King, stronger than all the dragon kingsbined!
My best friends reign was absolute.
The names you call them are very different from what I know, but their hobbies and titles are the same. Regardless, theyve all moved to a different dimension, one dominated by humans.
Im not surprised.
There was a reason behind that decision.
The young dragons who hid within human society when Noebius annihted his people out of anger were now the current dragon kings.
Having spent their youth among my kind, their way of thinking inevitably became simr to that of a human being.
They were a bit crooked, though.
I couldnt tell you this before because I was out of my mind, but thank you so much for saving me from that perverted monster.
Youre wee.
At Erdantis home, I was treated so generously that I didnt feel like leaving.
If I were an ordinary human, I would have abandoned my mission already.
I was hoping Green Cake would be with you
Ill tell him toeter.
Thank you!
After filling up my stomach and hearing the residents petitions, the GGG-ss Owner set off on a journey to find Morality Teacher!
Meanwhile, those Loli Kings were fighting a blood-filled war against the Heroes, gaining notoriety in another Fantasy dimension.
*****
Since all creatures of Fantasy were under my jurisdiction, when they died, I allowed them to immediately enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Of course, there were a few exceptions.
Powerful teaching materials that constantly shed with the Heroes, those 9 Loli Kings could only resurrect after a 100-year break.
It would seem no different from former Director Parmaels reign, but I didnt use her terrible method of sealing memories and recycling them.
The choice was always autonomous.
I intended to leave the entire curriculum to the students individual judgment.
Drug Hero!
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
The Addicted Spirit who appeared with the Five Spirit Kings sat down on my head.
Its been a while.
Why didnt you tell me youvee? Im disappointed!
Ah
You made me sad!
Hehehe! Its been a while, Drug Hero. My ugly niece took cute Sidael with her, so I had no choice but to go down to Fantasy to take care of my children for a while. Recently, though, I was suddenly engulfed by a dimensional spit. Hehehe.
Hey. Should you really be taking that as lightly as ying next door?
She was a real monster
We talked as if we just saw each other yesterday, but this was our first meeting in tens of thousands of years.
That was still a long time for me, even though I was already free from the limitations of my lifespan. On the contrary, she spoke as if she couldnt care less about it.
The Spirit Kings were no different!
Rub rub.
Leaving the greetings to the Addicted Spirit, they crawled straight into my armpits and groin.
Arent you five sorry for the Heroes who summon spirits with hopes and dreams?
Though the Fantasy dimension was divided into eight, there could only be one Addicted Spirit and Spirit King per attribute across all dimensions.
In other words, if the Spirit Kings clung to me and refused to leave, no matter how high other Heroes spirit affinity was, they couldnt be summoned.
Even so, they still chose to neglect their work. Did these beings have no conscience at all?
Rub rub.
It seemed like it didnt matter to them.
As free spirits, the concepts of work and sry didnt apply to them at all, so there was nothing I could do about it.
Do whatever you want.
But where are you going, cowardly Drug Hero?
Morality Uh, Im inspecting this world.
You should refrain from having an affair, considering you have three ugly, jealous wives. Youll regret this!
Im not having an affair! Dont spread false rumors!
I was just trying to repair our disrupted friendship.
Even her premise was wrong.
ording to the order of our meeting, Morality Teacher took precedence over Ssosia.
What about the Sword Princess?
The first round is excluded.
As the Addicted Spirit pointed out, we already established our rtionship earlier on, but at that time, we were enemies, not lovers.
Have you found your younger brother yet?
How do you know everything even though you havent been involved in anything at alltely?
Hehehe! Dont forget that I am the First Spirit! The amount of information my cute kids deliver to me is huge!
Thats true
I didnt know how she restored her and her kinds mental structure after the merge, but she undoubtedly had thergest informationwork in Fantasy.
Ask away! She shouted boldly, seemingly reading my thoughts.
I wanted to ask what Morality Teacher was thinking of right now, but it was unreasonable for me to expect even the Soul Spirit King to know that.
What should I ask Ah!
Addicted Spirit, how is the school environment in your opinion?
Chaos!
Thats vague.
But true! The Heroes keep fighting each other to determine whos better. Among them, Zeus and Shiva are the worst. They battle each other every time they meet, making me so inclined to call them the Spirits of Destruction.
Zeus and Shiva They sound familiar.
Though uninterested in human names, Addicted Spirit still remembered them.
That made me a little curious about what they were capable of.
That aside, is your brother here, Drug Hero?
Yeah.
Thats strange. Ive seen photos of him a few times through the Monphone, but Ive nevere across him.
No way.
Upon hearing her weird remarks, I immediately brought up the vision monitoring my little sibling, who should be wandering around Fantasy 8 like a missing child.
Huh?
He was talking to ady with a beautiful body and mind.
When riding a Medusa, the way you pull her reins is important. Contrary to her appearance, shes very sensitive. So in this way
I think shes just forcing herself to follow your instructions out of fear
What? Haha! Thats not true. Ah! If youre going to cross the desert, how about going with me? Ill show you how to properly ride Medusas.
Where are you going?
The Southern Continent. Im going to ask for forgiveness from an old friend who lives in its southern tip.
You must have done him horribly wrong.
Yes. I stole something precious from him.
Hey Stay strong. My destinations a bit different, so Ill have to go my own way from here. It was a pleasure talking to you.
Where are you going, prettydy? Im not in a hurry anyway, so let me give you a ride to your destination.
You dont really have to
Haha! Theres no need to refuse Kuek?!
The Righteous GGG-ss Heros adventure ended here!
The time hade to bring justice to this sinister demon.
You have good taste, brother, but what do you think youre doing
What?
Oh?
Upon being hit in the back, which caused him to be flung away, his expression became soaked in confusion.
But I was no different.
His lumbar vertebrae felt familiar
No, I already had memories of his spine.
Father-inw?
Was I hallucinating?
Chapter 420 - [32nd Round] Morality Hero
Chapter 420 - [32nd Round] Morality Hero
Uh, I have no idea what youre talking about
Pretending is useless, father-inw. I have never been wrong when ites to spines.
You can tell people apart by their spines? My son-inw never ceases to surprise me every time I see him Kekkek?!
Hey, you bastard! Did you decide to target your inws because you didnt have anywhere else to go?!
I didnt mean to do that in the first ce either Kue!
How are you going to take responsibility for this genealogy?
Lets calm down for now
Do you think thats possible in this situation?!
I was going crazy!
If my father-inw was my younger brother, didnt that mean his biological daughter was now my niece?!
And when he was a baby, he sucked my mothers milk
Your crimes are punishable by death, are they not?
G-great son-inw! Let me atone for my sins! Thats why I came back to Fantasy! Dont just stand there,dy! Help me!
Thats
Beautiful Morality Teacher expressed her displeasure.
If there was one thing I was wrong about her, it was that her anger gauge wasnt as huge as I thought.
Tuk.
I released my father-inws cervical vertebrae.
Ahem! Thank you for showing me mercy, son-inw.
Dont get me wrong.
I merely respect the fact that you didnt escape into space. Now, tell me how you n to make up for this error of yours before I change my mind.
It would be easy for me to bury him right here, right now.
He was the First Demon, after all. My Providence specialized in removing such immoral beings and their immortality. None of his tricks would be able to stop me.
I came back to ask for forgiveness from those I killed.
Ah, I see. You definitely should.
Losing his wife in the distant past, he rampaged throughout Fantasy, massacring adventurers.
Many of his victims had never wronged him. In fact, most of them were innocent people who werent even involved in the incident.
Former Demon Lord Pedonar imed hed be visiting and praying for them.
You shouldve told me. I would have gathered them all for you.
That would make my repentance meaningless. I have to be the one to go to them and kneel and beg for their forgiveness. Otherwise, it wouldnt be sincere.
What about me?
What about you, son-inw?
Shouldnt you say sorry for having your cowardly daughter over to me?
Didnt my decision to pass on all my Dark Energy to you already made up for that issue?
Dont twist history. You stole my freedom by giving your power to me. Thats an entirely different problem well have to discuss from this whole issue revolving around Ssosia.
Sidael is really cute.
Dont change the subject.
You should be the one bowing down to me since I gave you the second most beautiful woman in the world to be your wife, son-inw.
The Addicted Spirit, who had been silently listening to us while sitting on my scalp, also helped my cause.
You look ugly, brother!
But Im not wrong, am I, sister? You have to admit your niece is pretty
Ugly!
Hehehe! It seems youre fine, at least. I thought we would never see each other again. Im so happy that youre finally back.
Sister
But youre still ugly!
Ah, you little
Both of them were indeed ugly!
I turned my head and stared at the perfectdy beside me.
If my cowardly wife was the second most beautiful, then Morality Teacher had to be the first.
Morality Teacher!
I didnt think youd reallye Hello, President Kang Han Soo.
She bowed.
Light purple short hair that lightly touched her shoulder and softly curved eyes.
Her leather clothes seemed awkward on her, though, almost as if I gave her the wrong job. Still, she carried herself so well it didnt really matter.
Overall, she was still the same!
Her innocence, which was far purer than a freshman in college, resonated in my marrow.
So this was love!
Lets go on an adventure together like before, Morality Teacher!
Hey, son-inw, dont you think its too shameless even for you to have an affair with someone right in front of your wifes father?
Dont misunderstand! Were just continuing our beautiful friendship. Honestly, you should be thanking me. Shes stronger than you, you know.
Huh?
While youre only a third-ss Demon Lord, shes a first-ss goddess. She would have deleted you from existence had youy a hand on her.
Really?
Yes.
???A certain righteous divine being wants to apany someone.???
???A certain kind goddess feels awkward.???
He was called the former Demon Lord Pedonar here. However,pared to her, he wouldve been called Viin P if he had gone out into space.
My father-inw rubbed his nape as he smiled bitterly at her.
It seems I have good eyes.
Youre too optimistic.
I dont know if my son-inw understands, but Ive seen a lot of great gods when I was very young. Among them, there was an absurd goddess who could wipe out an entire gxy with a swing of her pillow.
???A certain innocent goddess wonders who that goddess was.???
I thought he was like a frog stuck in a vige well, but he actually seemed to have already learned about the universe when he was young.
That aside
Morality Teacher! Where are you going?
To the Great Child Religion headquarters in the Giant Empire southwest from here. I wasmissioned to deliver an important document to the head.
Youre nning on walking?
Wouldnt it be more efficient for her to deliver it through spatial movement instead?
No, shouldnt this job be handled by the postman, not the Hero?
Ah! It seems youre not aware of it yet since youre not subject to any restrictions. We cant use mobility-based abilities such as spatial movement and teleportation here.
Why?
I was actually really curious since I had never been deprived of such a handy feature.
If in the past, Fantasy was a noisy bookstore, its now a national library that demands silence.
I dont quite understand.
The difference between the two lies in numbers. When this dimension was torn into hundreds of thousands of fragments, former Director Parmaels control over each of them became weak. Now that there are only eight, President Kang Han Soo, who dominates time and space, has significantly greater influence over them. In other words, we cant manipte those same concepts in Fantasy without your permission or unless were a deity of a higher caliber.
Oh
Why are you looking at me like that?
This brings back memories.
Hearing her exin this subject kindly reminded me of the exciting adventures we had together when she was still a trainee.
Even if my journey was difficult and problematic, I felt happy every single day because of her
Anyway, son-inw, please keep the fact that Im here a secret from Ssosia.
Hehehe!
Thats too much.
As soon as he seriously asked me for a favor, the Addicted Spiritughed at him, causing him to look like he was about to give up.
Father-inw.
Please pretend youve never seen me. As the goddess said, I cant use my power over space here. It was easy to get in, but I can no longer get out, so you have nothing to worry about.
It goes without saying that you cant escape. When you said youre atoning for your past atrocities, I immediately realized that. Still, I think you picked the wrong order.
Order? Ah! I know the Sword Princess is another one of your wives, but I have no intention of apologizing to her. I acted in self-defense back then
Mother-inw.
Shouldnt your priority be to apologize to my mother-inw for letting her get killed by the adventurers? Shes been bothering metely since she keeps targeting my body, saying its her form of expressing her gratitude for taking revenge on her behalf.
Well, thats
Unable to continue his sentence, he broke out in cold sweat.
After this, go to Adventurer Qs house in the Southern Continent and ask for an apology.
The craftsman, who felt that she felt strange, stepped behind her and shouted.
Wait! Im not ready yet
Pop!
[Demon Realm]
My father-inw disappeared into the demon realm. I couldnt let him get in the way of Morality Teachers adventure!
Now, only two remained.
Morality Teacher! No, Morality Hero! Lets go on an adventure together! This GGG-sspanion will help you aplish your cumbersome quest!
You dont really have to
Theres no need to refuse!
Morality Hero and the Righteous Companion set out on an adventure together!
*****
Morality Herosbat potential, with her divine power sealed, wasnt that high.
She wasnt helpless, but she was struggling against three evil dragons with G-ss skills.
Chaooo!
Daaaaaaaar!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Powerful monsters awaited the students in the 8th grade to let them know that aiming for the gods was no trivial task.
Their stats were quite amazing, too.
? Race: Chaos Dragon
? Level: 15324
? Job: Bandit (Mountain Search )
? Skills: Chaos G, Stealth ZZZ, ckmail ZZZ, Escape ZZ, Detection ZZ
? Status: Threat, Enhanced, Casting
Despite being a bandit, their level and skills were high enough to make others cry.
What made matters worse was that G-ss bandits like him were scattered like pebbles all over Fantasy 8.
The natives of this dimension werent even born this strong.
They simply developed extremely quickly.
Dragons grew stronger with age, and Fantasy 8s elerated timeplimented that attribute of theirs.
That was why they had be the dominant species in this world, regardless of whether they were good or evil.
I took a look at the pretty Morality Heros stats as she fought against them!
? Race: First Erof
? Level: 11573
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Education GG, Swordsmanship GG, Agility G, Teaching Assistant G, Preaching G
? Status: Good, Moral, Kindness
She was the first Erof I had ever met, a race closely rted to elves.
However,pared to Fantasy 8s standards, her level was quite low, and her skillposition wasnt specialized inbat.
Still, the fact that she could endure without being pushed back evidenced thebat experience she had umted over a long period of time.
Moreover
Kindness?
Although I already sealed her divine power, it seemed her innate disposition was still expressed through her stats.
Despite several attempts to defeat Morality Hero, the bandits failed to deliver a decisive flow. Instead, they kept flinching and missing their opportunity until they finally lost.
Chaoo~?!
Daaaaar~?!
aaa~?!
It was strangely simr to Fugitive Seniors [Undefeated] divine power.
Have you ever heard the saying that it takes winter to realize how green pine and fir trees are? For always stealing from others, you bandits might just lose everything one day too! Keep that in mind in your next life.
Swoosh!
Morality Hero left them a word of advice before cutting them down.
The whole time I watched from the sidelines, I was so captivated that I couldnt help but apud her.
That was amazing, Morality Hero!
Not really In the past, I used to spare my foes whenever possible, but ever since I witnessed the Presidents adventure, I have be a little bit tougher. Through you, I learned that if we forgive evil, it would be unfair for those they had alreadymitted injustice and atrocities towards.
Oh
Her philosophy was so good that I saw no ws in it.
But as her GGG-ss Companion, I raised a question I had been meaning to ask while cleaning up the bandits carcasses for her.
Morality Hero.
Please just call me the way you usually do. The True Hero giving me such a title doesnt sit right with me.
I couldnt do that.
Admiring her beautiful yet seemingly shy appearance, I continued.
Ive already asked this before, but why are you trying to be a teacher in the Fantasy Institution?
My establishment was a rural school.
It was too shabby for a sophisticated urban beauty like Moral Hero to work in.
My position as a teacher is just a means to meet my objective, which is to teach as many students as I can. However, there are already many excellent educators ons and dimensions like El Mondo, so I decided to go to a more rural area, where many beings are still marginalized and miseducated.
She was right.
Parents with secondary and tertiary course students moved to the capital for the level of edification they offered.
That was proof that people had always been biased against rural schools when it came to education.
Thats why I came to Fantasy.
Ah
Wasnt Morality Hero just far too kind?
???A certain restless demonic god calls someone a pushover.???
He should stop getting in my way!
After all, I felt truly in love this time.
Chapter 421 - [32nd Round] Liberation
Chapter 421 - [32nd Round] Liberation
By the way, President Kang Han Soo. Can anyone really be a god this way?
Whats with that question, Morality Hero?
By sticking firmly to a philosophy, anyone could attain godhood!
Or so I thought, but it was just a theory I came up with after I aplished the feat myself.
I couldnt generalize it yet since I had little knowledge about it, but that was exactly why I was curious. How did other people be gods?
Well. In my case, I became a deity by being kind to another god.
Did you defeat any evil demons with them?
???A certain restless demonic god protests.???
She shook her head.
It wasnt that amazing. I just cheered for a strange god while he was suffering because of my luck.
Thats indeed strange.
What did she even mean by suffering because of her luck?
It was difficult for me to empathize with, I, who had a very frustrating experience after losing the universes love.
Others be as unhappy as I am lucky, just like how winning the lottery meant nobody else will be able to do so.
Ah.
I understood the gist of what she meant.
However, the logic behind it was so irrefutable it was actually painful.
Luck and strength were always rtive. Where there were winners, there were bound to be losers.
If I kept winning, Id be thankful for my fate, but I didnt need to feel sorry for the unspecified people who lost. Even if I were the victor today, there woulde a day when I, too, would be defeated.
Have you ever heard the saying that being too kind can hurt you?
What I heard is that when one gets used to others kindness, they mistake it for a right.
Ah
I think it depends on how you understand and ept the situation at hand, Morality Hero.
Youre not wrong
Thats why Im wandering around with you. I need to determine if this is love or obsession.
Its adultery.
Ahem!
A direct hit!
This might be presumptuous of me, but I think President Kang Han Soo needs to keep an eye out for his surroundings a little more.
Is it because I am a sessful man?
I had seenpanions lives changing all at once far too many times because of Heroes.
In my first round, I never openly uttered lies like, Lets get married after defeating the Demon Lord!
Instead, I resolutely cut off the princesses advances.
I was doing great in that regard, but every kingdom refused to support me due to my inflexible tactics.
Were my current wives any different, considering they only loved me because I was a sessful Hero?
The President also likes girls with pretty spines, right?
But that doesnt mean I marry them.
Sure, but you dont even look at women who dont have good bones. Thats the problem. Name one Fantasy woman who doesnt have a pretty spine.
Thats easy!
Then do it.
Lets see
Go on.
Uh um
Quickly, now.
I didnt know any of them since I was indifferent.
I could easily adapt to this situation by providing false names, but such an act went against my conscience as the Righteous GGG-ss Hero!
I squeezed the memory in my head.
Dont look at the students records.
Im not!
Even Lanuvels spine, which I teased for being pathetic and insignificant, was actually above-average.
In the end, I raised my white g.
As expected of Morality Teacher.
No, Im not worthy of that title yet. I still have a lot to learn before I can proudly call myself a teacher.
She smiled brightly.
With tears of love in my eyes, I changed the subject.
That aside, Morality Hero, Id like to point out one thing.
What is it?
What the Fantasy Institution desires is indeed to nurture gods, but graduating from here doesnt mean they could immediately be a god.
Wait, really?
Why are you so surprised?
My original goal wasnt to pursue godhood.
It was to maintain Fantasy even if my power disappeared.
That was the path I had been traversing since I was in my first round.
Considering Bakery and Hippolia organized the current curriculum ording to my records, even if they cant create gods, theyll foster self-reliance.
Ah
However, I didnt doubt this ces capability to raise deities.
Amid my search for a way to live without Fantasy-based skills, I found the path to bing a transcendental being myself instead.
Godhood was a means, not an end, but it was undoubtedly a surefire method to graduate from Fantasy.
Take a look at your stats, Morality Hero.
My stats?
Yes. Specifically, your skills.
Okay.
? Race: First Erof
? Level: 11572
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Education GG, Swordsmanship GG, Agility G, Teaching G, Preaching G, Charm G, Humor ZZZ, Enchantment ZZZ, Social ZZ, Demonic ZZ, Dignity ZZ, Immunity Z, Perspective Z, Attention SSS, Singing SSS, Fire SSS, Embroidery SS, Incitement SS, Recklessness S, Resistance S, Luck S, Stamina C, Sewing C, Bathing C, Health C, Body Type C, Energy C, Etiquette C, Faith C, Diplomacy C, Counseling C, Correction C, Alchemy C, Intelligence C, Rest C, Wisdom C, Deep Sleep C, Spirit C, Reading C, Gardening C, Love C, Friendship D, Hope D, Kindness D, Composition D, Corruption D, Bluff D, Punctuality D, Fabrication D, Fight D, Lyrics D, Patience D, y D, Dagger D, Cooking D, Constipation D, Obscenity D, Liberation D
?Status: Good, Moral, Kindness
Since she had been around for probably a long time now, she had gathered all sorts of skills, creating a mess out of her stats window.
She even had skills such as Corruption and Bluff, both of which seemed unrted to her expertise.
Which one do you want me to look into?
Liberation.
Huh? I dont think I have that skill
You didnt have it until recently. Its like the Karma skill my wife created, but its a better version of it.
Wait.
Type: Skill
Name: Liberation
ss: D
?C: Transcendent skills weaken.
?D: Divine powers weaken.
?E: Level gradually goes down.
?F: Grade gradually goes up.
Its negative effects made Morality Teacher speechless.
It would have been better if she had seen it in advance, but since she was also a student now, she was provided with no exnation.
I didnt miss it in my first round because I reviewed my overall skills once every few days, but now forced others to do the same.
Since when?!
Since I came here. In case you havent noticed, the natives and monsters of the 7th and 8th grades both have nearly the same levels.
If so, then its not the world thats changing. Its me
Exactly.
Morality Hero pondered about it deeply until she finally came to the correct answer.
If a student were to keep prolonging their stay here to be a god, theyll inevitably find themselves in a gigantic predicament.
Thats right. Haha!
If so, then wouldnt there be a huge number of students who cant reach the 8th grade since theyre stuck on the 7th grade?
it doesnt matter because of this.
a??Graduation: Congrattions on your graduation. Its a pity that you didnt reach the end, but we refuse to waste your efforts. We hereby give you the freedom to go out into the world and spread your Righteous Heros Wings. However, when your alma mater calls for your help, you are required to return and protect it. Failure toply would result in your precious wings being broken.
What is this?
Its a draft of an early graduation diploma.
Is the Righteous Heros Wings thats mentioned here a skill?
Yes.
From now on, I no longer forcefully held onto students who disliked me.
Instead, I simply confiscated the skills and materials they borrowed.
President Kang Han Soo has always been cautious since he was a student.
Thats right.
Graduates absolutely obeyed the orders of Goddess Parmael in the past out of fear of losing their precious abilities.
Although it wasntparable to the factory-produced Monroid Corps, Fantasys potential, which had produced numerous graduates over a long period of time, couldnt be ignored.
After all, its alumni were infiltrating all parts of society.
Since I had them under myplete control, it wouldnt be difficult for me to throw the universe intoplete chaos.
If I could afford it, that was.
If one wants to live without being bound by the school, they must reach 8th grade and graduate normally. But to do that, theyll have to learn how to graduate first.
Youre right again, Morality Hero!
Your expression reminds me of the old days. Please stop making fun of me already.
Its an instinctive reaction.
I would no longer be a man if I could keep my mouth shut even after witnessing her beautiful spine and pelvis.
Im so lost. Due to Liberation, Ill inevitably lose all of my stats sooner orter, but I dont even know what I should do here
Dont worry. I invited a teacher to save the wandering young Mon.
???A certain righteous divine being calls a carrot over.???
???A certain perfect sword god pauses his lecture for a while.???
???A certain perfect sword god ims hell be arriving soon.???
???A certain kind goddess grows astonished.???
No way!
Your reaction tells me you already know who Uncle Carrot is.
How can I not know him?! Hes not as well-known here since were in a rural area, but on the days the rumors of his arrival spread, thes hed visit would be crowded with ignorant beings trying to make him ept them as his disciple.
Morality Heros statement was much more credible than my cowardly wifes exnation, despite studying abroad.
While she was making a fuss, Uncle Carrot crossed the border as if going out of one house and into another.
Pop!
Why did you call me over, President Huh? Youre
Hello, Sword God!
Please call me Uncle Carrot here, Kind Senior!
Oh! I cant believe Im your senior This is embarrassing.
Hahaha!
Amid their friendly atmosphere, I went straight to the point.
Definitely not because I was jealous.
I called you to help this pretty girl since shes worried shed be forced to live in this world without her abilities.
Ah, I see
Carrot Teacher, who understood the situation only with my brief exnation, nodded.
Do you really understand?
You want me to impart my swordsmanship to my senior, right?
Thats right.
It seemed I didnt need to think too deeply about this situation.
My 628 Trillion Swordsmanship can cope with any situation. If you can master it, even if youck Providence, you should be able to push your way through even the most difficult situations with rtive ease!
He sounded like he was selling medicine.
However, Morality Hero still looked like she finally met the superstar she had idolized since she was a kid.
Is it possible even with my body?
Yes. Its not that difficult, so you have nothing to worry about. Lets begin.
Yes.
Uncle Carrot and I stood facing each other.
I immediatelyunched a surprise attack!
There are 69 possible ways for married male Heroes tounch a surprise attack. Since the President is in a harem, that number is reduced to 34, and since hes a fair-skinned handsome man, his options are further reduced to three. As a result, I can easily predict his offensive even before hes executed it.
What
While conducting a lesson, he blocked my surprise attack, including the Righteous Heros Wings rising from my back.
He thenunched a counterattack!
My 628 Trillion Swordsmanship techniques are endlessly linked with each other. Although the President blocked my 95th technique, he had to pull his right foot away to do so, which is a response I had already expected from the beginning. In line with this, I pulled my right foot forward in advance and pressured him again, this time using my 174th technique.
Agh!
Such is the basics of my swordsmanship style.
Whooosh!
Carrot Teachers carrot pped me on the shoulder amid his lecture. He couldve aimed for my neck but chose not to.
You dont have to do that.
Hmm?
Carrot Teachers eyes widened.
Im a bit sturdier than you think.
What do you mean
Interrupting his words, I asked him a question now that he had narrowed the distance between us.
Do you have any technique for when youre up against a skeletal system made of Romantium?
Huh?
Ill take that as a no.
There werent many beings in the universe who had as many Romantiums as I did, after all.
Craaaack!
Argh!
The only technique I had been using since my first round overwhelmed his 628 Trillion Swordsmanship Techniques!
Chapter 422 - [32nd Round] Reorganization
Chapter 422 - [32nd Round] Reorganization
Ha
Are you okay?
Ha
Frustrated by my Romantium skeleton, Carrot Teacher had been depressingly fiddling around with carrots.
Well, what did he expect?
Did he think he could use ordinary carrots to destroy Romantium, a legendary metal?
That seemed to be the case, considering he remained in such a sorry state.
But
Wow! Your carrot is so wonderful, Carrot Teacher!
Flinch.
His expression changed the moment he heard Morality Heros kind words.
Struggling to face her, he grunted.
I feel humiliated. The carrots I cherish have been defeated.
Ordinary carrots grown in mundane fields stood no chance against metal mined in hundreds of thousands of parallel worlds in the first ce.
I didnt want to do this, but I decided to entrust this to the Morality Hero since we wouldnt make any progress at this rate.
They havent. Carrot Teacher was summoned out of nowhere and was given no time to prepare for the battle. You didnt even know his bones were made of Romantium, did you?
Hmm. Youre right.
And not everyone can have a skeletal system made of Romantium. A poor teacher like me needs Carrot Teachers cheap power.
Cheap
Ah! Please ignore that trivial adjective!
I finally found out why Morality Heros Kindness skill was only D-rank.
She immediately nullified the affection she built up with others.
She gave both the sickness and the cure!
That was why the Fantasy system didnt raise her skills rank, but the President of the Universe seemed to like it.
Well, at least it made Carrot Teacher regain his vigor.
If you need my cheap swordsmanship, I shall teach it to you!
Im in your care!
This swordsmanships advantagees from its ability to be mastered through efforts alone, eliminating the need for talent. Perfecting all of its 628 trillion styles and techniques would be great since they would allow you to deal with all situations except for Romantium pillows and bones. That might prove too time-consuming and advanced, however, but theres no need to worry. Even just 314 trillion of them would be enough to ensure your survival.
Uh
If you have any questions, please feel free to cut me off. That has happened to me so often that its no longer a problem for me. Haha!
Im sorry
Theres really nothing to be sorry for. I dont look like someone whod be upset for being talked over, do I?
No, but he looked like he was about to cry, seemingly because he was no longer having a one-sided conversation with a wall.
I had witnessed simr situations asionally when I was still a student on Earth. Back then, whenever enthusiastic young teachers asked, Any questions? the sleepy ssroom often provided little to no response.
This situation was simr to those rare moments when one of the students would raise their arms and say, I have one!
Morality Hero spoke quickly to revive the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, Im a teacher as well. I cant postpone my ss until Ive mastered such a huge number of techniques! Please let me take a faster, beginner-friendly course instead.
Ah! I apologize for not considering your situation at all. In that case, you can just learn the basics, which is around 1% of my style. I call it the 30 Billion Swordsmanship.
Ah
Unable to say anything, she looked at me with pleading eyes.
Before her GGG-ss Companion, 3 trillion and 30 billion were the same.
But I got your back, Morality Hero! Let me live up to your trust!
Carrot Teacher.
Theres no need for you to learn my cheap swordsmanship, President Kang Han Soo. considering your body is made of Romantium.
Im not interested in it anyway. I just have a simple question. Isnt it far more sensical to teach a single style and its situational applications?
Who decided that?
Hmm?
I hated having my question answered with another question, but I refrained from grabbing his spine.
Still, what part of my suggestion wasnt ideal?
The method I mentioned was so logical andmonly practiced that it would be idiotic to think otherwise.
Please listen carefully, President. Those who say they can learn and use only one swordsmanship style are no better than sewage rats that will never be able toe out of their sr system. Your suggestion is good in theory, but battles between gods are often decided in an instant. There wont even be time to think about how a technique can be best applied in such situations.
Indeed
I could roughly understand the reasoning behind his exnation.
Under normal circumstances, battles progressed this way:
Swordsmanship A Situation Analysis Swordsmanship A+
But with his teachings, it proceeded like so:
Swordsmanship A Situation Swordsmanship B
Generally speaking, swordsmen needed time to think about how best to apply their limited styles rtive to their predicament. However, they wouldnt always have that opening.
Essentially, the fate of their lives depended on how long that gap was.
However, Carrot Teachers swordsmanship eliminated the need for analysis.
There was no need to worry since those who practiced it already knew which techniques to use in every situation!
His reasoning made sense.
However, wouldnt it take some time to search through all of them to find the right answer?
Do you take a long time searching for the right words when speaking, President?
No.
My swordsmanship is no different.
Is that so?
Im going to give an extreme example to make it easier to understand. Humans express themselves bybining several words, but dogs only bark. Do you think that alone puts their ability tomunicate anywhere near the level of humans?
Ah
The logical solution the President suggested is simr to barking. If a dog barks, growls, or whimpers, itll be able to convey its emotions to its owner to a certain extent. Moreover, they might be easier and faster to learn than an entire humannguage. However, theres a limit to such primitive practices. Sooner orter, humannguage would inevitably surpass it.
I didnt argue any further.
No matter hard I objected here, Carrot Teacher would refute it calmly and without much consideration.
This wasnt to say he waspletely right.
However, I would never be able to overturn the philosophy of this Sword God.
Im not sure if I managed to convey my thoughts properly. Im confident in my swordsmanship, but mymunication skills are at the level of a dog
No. You did well. I learned a lot from this.
Thats a relief, if so
Im serious.
I became a god by chance.
One could even say I was just purely lucky.
Was luck a skill?
No. Luck is all about skills.
There were times when a person became stronger or changed for the better due to certain coincidences.
Was that based on skill?
My current ability was the result of a lot of luck and chancebined with tremendous efforts.
Luck is a skill.
Skill is luck.
Although they looked nearly the same, there was an extreme difference between them.
The first phrase sounded extremely cheeky.
Considering there existed a goddess of luck in the universe, one should refrain from using lines like that since it might provoke her.
On the other hand, thetter sounded humble.
It was as if I was saying I refused to brag about my sess since I couldnt have done it without my parents.
That difference between the two phrases was critical.
I was lucky.
It was pure luck that I, an extremely ordinary Earthling, was able to reach this far.
On the contrary, socially mdjusted people, believing that luck was a skill, waited for fortune to strike once more while singing idiotic songs like When will my next lucke~?
You dont have to be that humble, President. If luck made gods, then everyone would be a god.
Its the opposite.
Many people in this world worked harder than I did.
After all, there were countless office workers who worked day and night while I yed with my cowardly wifes spine and pelvis.
But none of them became gods.
Aside from the socially mdjusted, everyone tirelessly made desperate measures to improve their souls.
However, the results didnt always justify ones perseverance.
I was lucky.
Because the reward I gained was equal to that of the effort I exerted.
Though I achieved an extraordinary feat, it was only possible because of the bit of luck I had that others didnt.
In that sense, I had nothing to boast about.
Hmm That reminded me of a saying from my home, President. Not everyone can reach the heavens. There must be a reason why you had more luck than others. Perhaps you helped more than the rest of yourpetition, which made the heavens grant you additional power
Notion rejected!
Huh? Why?
Because the President of the Universe didnt favor me for the free service I provided to others. If that were the case, then they picked the wrong person.
Well, thats true
I consider todays meeting lucky for me as well. I learned a lot thanks to you, Carrot Teacher.
But I
Ill be taking my leave now.
Pop!
I felt like I forgot something important physically and mentally, but it was probably just my imagination.
???A certain perfect sword god continues the ss.???
???A certain kind goddess tries to smile.???
*****
Drug Hero! Ugly!
What?
Ugly! Ugly!
I didnt think there was anything uglier than a spirit rubbing their body against someone elses head, but
Rubbing my index finger on my aching temple, I warned her.
If you dont want to be punished, then be quiet
Ugly! Ugly!
This spirit!
I expected her to know the Righteous GGG-ss Hero better!
Hehehe! I was surprised. I cant believe Pedonar is your younger brother. Your genealogy became so twisted that I gave up trying to understand it.
Good for you.
My real brother was my father-inw.
I wanted to give up thinking about this shocking reality, but I missed my chance to do so since the Addicted Spirit dered her surrender before I could.
This also means your brother is also your nephew. Do you have any clever ideas on how to fix this?
None! Hehehe!
Ugh
Where are your ancestors, Drug Hero?
Well Lets just say human life is fleeting.
I felt strange saying that since I hadnt even lived for 300 years yet, but from the universes perspective, it really did seem instantaneous.
Even the light of the stars in the night sky came from millions of years ago.
Are you going to my ugly niece? This is going to be my first time seeing the institution, if so.
That was only natural. Fantasy students were absolutely forbidden to enter that ce.
Faculty office.
W-wait!
What are you so scared about?
Didnt you say were going to the faculty office?! That room suffocates students! Of course, Id be scared!
Wow
It seemed a soft-spoken Hero who couldnt adapt to school life instilled strange knowledge within her.
The faculty office wasnt a funeral home that buried weak Heroes alive.
Maybe it was, but that was all in the past.
Oh! Master!
Little Ssosia?
The Fantasy systems personification.
Commonly known as the Fantasy Goddess.
The name of Ssosias mother, home, and artificial intelligence were all Fantasy
That was just too much.
She even had Ssosias childhood appearance.
Since the control over the system has been transferred from Mistress Fantasy to the master, my authority has been greatly reduced. Right now, I can barely escape the grasps of dormancy and removal by cleaning the faculty rooms hallways.
Why didnt you say anything earlier?
Well the mistress hasnt paid much attention to me since she gave birth to Sidael.
So this was my cowardly wifes fault!
Ill punish Ssosias pelvis instead of youter.
Why her pelvis?
Whats wrong? Would you rather I punish her spine?
N-no Anyway, talking with the master for a long time might break the system, so it would be best for us to get straight to the point immediately. What punishment must I give to the faculty and staff members who hated you so much? Massacre? Annihtion? Obliteration? Destruction?
Why does it have to involve violence and death?
Because there is only a 0.27% chance youll choose something else. After all, even though it has been quite some time since you became the president, youve never visited this ce until now.
Well
I didnt object since she wasnt wrong.
But she wasnt right either.
Even when I was a cute emperor, I didnt rely on those beneath me all that much.
Its been like that ever since. You did it all by yourself, without reaching out to your fellow problem-solving colleagues and the natives. In the past, I would have given a long speech regarding the importance of trust, but Ive decided against it to avoid being deleted.
Im sorry, but dont worry. I think of you as my daughter.
What a terrible thing to say
You just broke my heart!
Its a joke.
Really?
Yes. In fact, Im happy since for as long as you consider me your daughter, you wont delete me because Im unnecessary.
What do you think of me?
You are about 98% demon. 2% of your human days conscience remains in you, but it remains insignificant.
Thats too much.
The Fantasy Goddess put her arms around my left arm right after spouting such insolence.
Thats why I must make desperate efforts to live, Dad.
Uh Dad?
I found a surprising discovery that if I called you dad gently, Id be increasing my probability of not being deleted by 17.05%.
If it hadnt been for that exnation, you really would have.
So! What did youe here for?
That was a good question.
If we really want to change the way we teach, shouldnt we also have to change teachers?
Thats fairly logical. Does that mean youvee to remove the teachers that have be as useless as your colleagues during your first round?
Not exactly.
I would have to punish my daughters spine and scold her for painting me, her father, as the viin.
But that would have toeter. I actually visited this ce for expansion work.

Chapter 423 - [32nd Round] Calm down!
Chapter 423 - [32nd Round] Calm down!
A certain evil spirit is attracted by the advertisement.
A certain god clenches his fists at the word passion.
A certain godins that 24/7 is too much.
A certain restless demonic god hastily applies for it.
A certain boring antagonist shows deep interest.
The gods responses were better than expected.
Those messages proved there were probably as many gods living in this vast universe as Heroes!
Of course, their goals were a little different.
If Heroes acted based on a sense of duty, the gods simply wanted to be freed from a boring life.
Money? Honor? Authority? Control?
For them, all of those were worthless and could be easily obtained.
What they desired was to be acknowledged and recognized as a full-fledged god.
Just like how house owners felt as if they owned the whole world when giving sugar water to ants, who would then rush towards them, the gods desired the same feeling.
They only feel rewarded when theyre acknowledged by those in the same or higher ne as them, not by human beings.
Everything else was as worthless as the numbers and actions of ants to humans.
A certain righteous divine being wees all good educators.
When I met and talked to Carrot Teacher, I was easily convinced he would be a good fit for our institution.
Though depressed after losing his swordsmanship to the monroids, his emotions swiftly brightened up when Morality Teacher treated him like a celebrity.
I was certain there would be a simr response.
A certain god reveals his ambition to be a great teacher
A certain prideful fanatic wonders if hes the perfect fit.
A certain shameless native applies without hesitation.
The problem was that there were too many of them.
Fantasy, which had prided itself on being a solid and stable dimension, was shaken by the number of visiting gods.
Its surprisingly tolerable.
Their presence normally wouldve been heavy for me, but the more gods visited, the more my divine power increased.
Should I call it the institutions entrance fee?
It was no different from the teachers paying me to teach students in my school.
Whats happening?!
Director Bakery, sensing something unusual and strange was afoot, immediately ran to me.
Wearing the Righteous GGG-ss Heros smile, I reassured him calmly.
Its okay, Director Bakery.
I cant breathe!
Once you get used to their presence, youll be fine. Until then, youll definitely find them difficult to handle, though.
Then
It wasnt just my fellow Heroes with individual distinctions that responded to my job advertisement.
This is a school
Am I in Hells Office?!
Silence in school is a bummer! Taste my flour bomb!
Hey! Stop it!
Tsk! Thats cowardly!
The gods who lived beyond anyones control did as well.
I wanted to reject everyone from the interview phase alone, but that might incur the wrath of the gods, which would then cause the Fantasy Institutions destruction.
I know we have many students, but
If I were to distribute the students appropriately among all the deities, I no longer would have any problem.
There are just too many of them
However, as pointed out by Bakery, the deities numbers didnt gradually decrease but instead kept increasing.
[Hero]
Likewise, my power also grew stronger.
After unlocking my Providence, I gained confidence that I could do anything, but that feeling had now turned into an urge to be arrogant.
That was how incredible and valiant my strength was bing.
Director Bakery. I need you to assign each new teacher a seat in the faculty room and ssrooms except for the first and second grades. Distribute them to third grade and higher.
Thats easy to say, but
Bakery.
Yes, President?
What made you think the responsibilities of a Director wouldnt be hard? Would you like me to remove you from your position now?
Ill do my best.
Thats the spirit.
I entrusted this whole ordeal to Director Bakery, who remained faithful and true to his duties!
Nyahahaha!
Hey?! Give me back my panties!
Nyahahahaha!
Punishment!
Nyahaha- Kuek?!
This whole event was insane.
In particr, whenever the high-ranking gods made a fuss, they sent tremors across the Fantasy dimension that couldve made it explode, not just tremble, if not for the growth in my power caused by the admission fees the gods paid.
President.
What is it?
Ive been blessed with a beautiful sweet-voiced daughter that resembles my wife. All I want is to see her grow up to be someone great
Oh?! Congrattions! Im sure youll be able to watch over her until she grows old. What are you even so worried about?
Well, I dont think Ill be able to live long enough to do that
Hahaha! Thats a great mindset, Director! A true Hero must always be vignt about death!
Ha
I gave him a piece of advice the moment he sighed.
How about taking this opportunity to learn from them and be a god yourself?
Is that possible?
Well, its certainly better than learning how to be one by yourself.
I patted his spine to cheer for him, then came out of the greatly expanded office.
I had recruited the gods, but I had no intention of instructing them what to do. There was no way those free spirits would follow.
It was up to them whether theyd teach the students or not.
All I had to do wasy the foundations.
Drug Hero.
What is it?
As Fantasys native, I feel great seeing this rural world of ours fill up with urban dwellers.
Thats great to hear.
What are you going to do now, though? Are you going to leave all your household chores to my cowardly niece as nned and enjoy the indolent life of an unemployed person?
Hmm. The day for me to do that hasnte yet.
Dont worry. Youll be able to live that life soon!
Of course.
My dreams were precious, after all.
Still, I couldnt do it right now. The only ones worthy ofziness were those prepared for it.
Or tyrants.
What are you up to now, Drug Hero?
There wouldnt be a problem if I were to do a heroic deed, right?
Fabrication and incitement.
I diligently fiddled with my monphone.
? Munchkin: Catch up to me already, my juniors. A world of Fantasy filled with hopes and dreams awaits you.
? Odin: What grade are you even in for you to consider yourself our senior?
? Baal: Hey. Dont feed the attention-hungry bastard.
? Shiva: So hes Zeus #2?
? Luke: If you want to pretend to be a senior here, please provide proof youre in a higher grade than we are. If you can, that is.
?Zeus: Did you call for me, Shiva? ^^
?Ah: You two should just date already.
Hmm
The monphonemunity seemed to have turned the situation into one where I couldnt even prove I was their senior despite iming to be one.
However, if I stepped down now like a defeated hound, my Righteous GGG-ss Hero title would cry.
There was only one solution to all this.
I had to take a photo and post it.
Where are you going, Drug Hero?
The sixth-grade ssroom.
I wanted to go to 8th grade, but they might think I was a faculty member if I did.
Currently, the students in the lead were only in 4th grade, excluding re-admitted teachers.
So 6th grade was just right.
Lets go!
Ill being with you even if you dont urge me to anyway.
sh-!
The 6th Fantasy world, ruled by the Great Child Religion and giants.
Also known as the cute Captain Fantasys cradle.
*****
Oh, dear.
Huh?
Are you enjoying life?
Wao~?
My final weapon, Captain Fantasy, was living like a baby.
With his size greatly reduced, he sucked Second Angel Umamiels voluptuous breasts while being held in her arms.
More importantly, her expression was the epitome of corruption itself!
Ecstatically, she wiped the saliva flowing down his lips and greeted me.
What brought the President to this shabby temple?
Field trip.
Ah!
I wont be long. My cowardly wife strongly believes in autonomy, so Ill just take a photo for verification.
Of course. Please take as many as you want.
Click.
As soon as I got permission, I stood next to them and took a picture with my monphone.
Hmm. Not bad.
Drug Hero.
Were not going to retake it just because you closed your eyes.
Hmph! I, the First Spirit, will always be beautiful no matter what shape Im in anyway. However, if my niece sees this, I think her jealousy will explode.
Why?
All I saw when I looked at it was her handsome husband working hard.
You two look like a married couple.
How so?
That extrarge baby looks just like you and is being held by a woman. Its the perfect photo to cause suspicions.
That detective-level reasoning power didnt suit the Addicted Spirit at all.
Cold sweat ran down my back.
It was already toote. I had already uploaded it to the Monphonemunity.
? Munchkin: Do you believe me now?
? Luna: Wow! Its the Great Child Religions baby and Saintess!
? Aries: Hes so cute! Starting today, Im switching religions.
? Amon: The real god came out!
?Zeus: Have you seen it, Shiva? Hes a real senior thats qualitatively different from someone whos only pretending to be one, like you.
? Shiva: What are you trying to say, keyboard warrior? Why dont you stop hiding ande to the Elfheim Empire Capital Square immediately?
?Sieg: As your junior, I would like to say hello to you, senior Munchkin!
FFF-ss Hero Sieg was still alive?
I thought he had given up and returned to Earth already, but it seemed he was still here in Fantasy.
Hes surprisingly tough
Are you okay?
It doesnt matter.
Was there even a way to delete the authentication photo I already sent from the monphonemunity?
Giving up and calmly epting my fate, I looked back at the baby sucking on a soft and plump breast three times his heads size.
He was living the most indolent life I had ever seen.
I didnt think Captain Fantasy would turn my dream into reality before I could do it myself.
Ask me anything, President. I know all there is to know about this sixth dimension.
Hmm
If I told her I was just here to take a photo, my reputation would fall to the bottom.
I pretended to think about Umamiels suggestion.
Is the Great Child Religion doing well?
This stupid baby was my incarnation. In other words, the religion that followed him was a religion that believed in me.
I decided to take this opportunity to find out how much the education here had expanded.
We are overtaking Mons Teachings! Having gained the absolute support of even the strongest giants and dragons in the Fantasy world, the Great Child has be the most popr being in the world!
Right.
I felt sorry for Master Mon, but there seemed to be a limit to his churchs expansion since they were forced into hiding and seclusion.
Wah?
As long as he didnt prove his existence and actively worked like this guy, Mons Teachings will inevitably be defeated by the Great Child Religion.
I felt pity.
Both were religions I was involved in.
They were doing well and coexisting in peace until the Goddess Church, which worshiped Parmaels ugly face, was pushed out and exterminated, causing the two remaining religions to fight for dominance and leadership.
I might be stepping over the line here, President, but wouldnt it be okay for things to keep going at this rate?
Why?
I recently found out that Fantasys culture has been introduced and now influences the outside world because of Monsoft. Monism, which praises Mon, already exists in the universe.
Really?
If the universe had really already acknowledged his existence, then Fantasys locals were no longer the only ones aware of his greatness.
Thats why I think Fantasy should have at least its own religion. What do you think, baby?
Huh? Aye!
I see.
Perhaps the time hade for him to be self-reliant.
See youter.
Thank you for visiting us, President.
Wao.
ording to the spirits intel, as the First Spirit predicted, my jealous wife was already heading this way.
I had to make a quick escape.
Where are you nning to hide, Drug Hero?
Hiding? Ha! Only people with weak spines do that!
With tears in my eyes, my love for Morality Hero Oh!
Whats wrong?
Nothing.
I thought I forgot to rescue her from Carrot Teacher, but it probably was just my imagination.
My thoughts were interrupted by an unusual students message on the monphonemunity.
? Aries: Are you all okay? Calm down! This mysterious world has kidnaped you.
An interesting student.
The Righteous Senior Hero headed to the 1st-grade Fantasy world, now crowded with freshmen!
Chapter 424 - [33rd Round] What do we have in common?
Chapter 424 - [33rd Round] What do we have inmon?
Shes a really weird woman, Drug Hero. Fantasy is an amazing world! I dont get why shes making such a fuss about it.
Im well aware of that.
I couldnt even ignore this ordeal and pretend it was none of my business since I was the victim here!
As the President of Fantasy, I felt a sense of duty to ensure there would no longer be any more victims like me.
? Tony: I know what you mean, but I like this ce.
? Mario: For me, who spent days of backbreakingbor in my home, this is absolute heaven.
? Sera: Shes quite the strangedy. There are a lot of handsome men all over this world. What is she stillining about?
? Mir: Dont treat normal people like psychopaths! If you dont like it here, ask the Goddess to send you away.
? Sieg: Dont you dare insult Fantasy like that!
Bing a joke in the monphonemunity, the Hero took her eyes off her monphone in confusion.
What is this?! Have they been put under mass hypnosis?
Calm down.
Do I look like I can do that right now?
Dont you think its too rude of you to keep sulking despite being approached by Senior A, who happens to be passing by?
Within spine-grabbing distance from me was a female student around 18 years old.
As soon as I saw her, I knew.
External beauty wasnt everything, but it indeed provided quite afortable life, both in school and in society.
And she seemed to be fully enjoying its benefits.
In Fantasy, she just looked like Vige Girl A.
On Earth, however, she could be an actress.
Whats wrong with my manners? Anyone would be surprised if someone suddenly talks to them from their blind spot. Also, have you seen yourself? You look really scary.
Thats harsh.
Go find some other girl to irritate. Im not interested in you.
Wait.
Youre persistent.
No. You seem to have misunderstood me. Here, look. These are pictures of my wives. I also have quite a few children. If you thought I was talking to you because of your humble appearance
Why are you looking at me with such a pitiful gaze?! Even married men desire me, you know!
Look around.
Why?
There are a lot of women here whos just as beautiful or even more beautiful than you.
As her lips tightly shut, she tried to get out of the crowded square of the starting city, her expression clearly stating she hated the current situation.
I quietly followed her.
Shes so strange, Drug Hero. She even fears the looks of Fantasys most handsome being.
Unfortunately, she doesnt have the vision necessary to see my spine.
I couldnt help but agree that the girl was difficult to understand.
In this spirits eyes, she probably looked no better than an ugly stone.
Like I was in my first round.
That was why I couldnt just leave her alone.
Why do you keep following me, self-proimed senior? There are a lot of pretty natives around, arent there?
I want to ask you something.
I dont want to answer. I refuse to talk to a pervert with a naked fairy sitting on top of his head.
Ah. Shes not a fairy. Shes a spirit, and shes not exactly a female. Neutral-gendered would be a more appropriate term. if you look closely, she doesnt have any genitals.
But her breasts are I dont care! Dont talk to me!
I nevertheless continued trailing after her.
Woah! Hes so dreamy
Hes perfect
Oh my God
I couldnt help but hear the whispers of the female Fantasy locals as they stared at me in admiration.
From the moment I was born as a cute emperor, I was already popr, but now that there were only six dimensions left, I was known as an extremely handsome man.
Perhaps because she could also hear them, she immediately corrected herself.
I really did have a misunderstanding, She said, her tone extremely cold.
Do you believe me now?
You must be delighted for falling into a world where youre seen as handsome.
What about you?
The credit card my parents gave me has been rendered useless, leaving me penniless. Even worse than that, for the first time in my life, Im being treated like Im just an average woman, which I apparently am ording to your words.
Haha!
Dontugh. I was originally going to ignore you, but youre the only person to tell me the truth, so Ive decided to hang out with you a little.
You dont even have money.
Of course. I cant possibly do ridiculous jobs like finding a cat for a small reward. The same goes for hunting monsters. Fighting monsters can cause injury and death in severe cases, but people go out of the city so calmly.
Arent you hungry?
Youre like an old man whos never been in a proper rtionship before.
Youre not wrong. I dont have much dating experience. I got tied up too early by a cowardly demon who follows me around because shes too obsessed with me.
I was still sad about it.
My wife and father-inw blew all of my MAX-rank youth.
I just ate at the Hero Support Center a while ago.
How did it taste? That ce provides free service for Heroes who cant adapt to the local cuisine or dont have money like you.
Honestly, it wasnt that great.
Im d.
What? Why?
Think about it. If it tasted amazing, would the Heroes even try to adapt to the food here at all?
Ah
Even so, theres bound to be some who can endure through it like you. Should I suggest making it a little worse?
Dont do that, you devil!
Hahaha!
The Hero Support Center was a public facility I devised, the idea of which came to me because I received no support from the Dumpling Kingdom in my first round.
It provided three necessities for survival here in Fantasy: Information, meals, and amodation.
In theory, one could live without working for the rest of their life since they could just keep relying on it indefinitely, but I purposely equipped it with poor amenities to discourage staying in it for a long time.
And by deliberately lowering the prices of nearby restaurants and inns, I induced the Heroes to leave the center voluntarily.
How long have you been here?
Ive been living here since before flush toilets were even introduced. It was such a terrible era.
Oh, I cant even imagine the hardships you had to go through. How could anyone survive such a ce?
I lived simply because I couldnt die.
I led my junior to a decent restaurant.
Isnt this a bar? Im still a minor
Here, if youre over fifteen years old, youre already an adult.
Whys that?
Its at that age that men begin to have wet dreams and that women get their periods.
I cant believe you used words carefully uttered even in sex education sses so casually.
Would you rather I exin it the same way adults tell children they were delivered to their parents by cranes?
No. She pouted.
Leading my junior inside, I immediately greeted the bartender.
Tony.
Do I know you?
Thats going too far!
Hahaha! Han Soo, my favorite Hero! I take it youre going to order themb and ck dragon again this time?
Tony, a former assassin and my spiritual mentor.
This was our first time seeing each other again after ourst meeting in my 2nd round two hundred years ago.
Now that infinite regression had been discontinued, he too would someday grow old and leave my side forever.
But that was okay.
That gave meaning to life.
If they lived forever, this long-awaited meeting of ours wouldnt be precious at all.
So you remember the food you rmended to me when I couldnt get used to this worlds local cuisine.
Of course.
I dont drink alcohol My juniorined.
Dont worry. I guarantee you that with this drink, whatever you eat will taste delicious.
What?
The delicacys taste wouldnt really matter since it would turn it into a side dish.
Tony smiled sweetly.
Do you still remember what I taught you?
Likewise, I replied with the Righteous Heros smile.
Of course.
Wait. Is thedy next to you in a simr situation? I havent used my skills in a long time.
As soon as Tony left, his other guests began to turn their attention to me.
Isnt that Han Soo?
Oh! Now that Ive taken a closer look, youre right!
Are you going to keep pretending that you only know Tony and not us?
That would be very upsetting!
Oh! Cutie Han Soo. Youve be so much more handsome since thest time we met that I didnt even recognize you!
Cutie? He did nothing butin!
Right, he did! Hahaha!
Tonys bar was only ever frequently visited by ck-market customers and his regrs.
That was why they were all rted to my first round.
I answered them one by one.
It may not have been long for you, but its been 200 years for me, Grid. And what do you mean by in, Mr. Teybus? Who do you think is the person you consulted about yourints the most? Akashas words are the best among everyone here. I am indeed quite cute. Hahaha!
Wow! Han Soo is so shameless.
Its better than being timid.
You have grown quite a lot, our Han Soo!
You consider yourself handsome? Ha!
While reminiscing with the bar patrons over snacks, Tony came out with a te of food.
Its Tonys set meal.
The menu changes every day because the set meal is made with leftover ingredients.
Dont talk, just eat. It doesnt matter what means one uses for as long as the food tastes good.
Haha!
This former assassin used to word it differently.
It doesnt matter what means one uses for as long as you can kill your target.
I learned how to live in Fantasy, which was ruled by savages, from him.
I missed those times.
But I didnt want to return to it.
Youre the only one having fun.
Ah! Im sorry.
I apologized to my pouting junior, whom the group hadpletely alienated.
There was a reason I came here, though I didnt know if she had noticed already.
Based on your conversation It seems you had the same predicament 200 years ago as I do now.
I had it worse.
At the time, there was no monphonemunity, so I had to suffer alone.
How did you ovee it?
With the determination to go back to my home where my parents were waiting for me.
The same thing wont happen to you, so dont worry. The world is a lot better now. Im sure you were given a choice to leave right after you were summoned. I didnt have that choice back in my time.
There was something I couldnt understand about her, though.
When I was still an active Hero, I was forced to defeat the Demon Lord to leave this ce.
But now?
Students who didnt want to be here were immediately returned to their homes.
Yet this particr junior of mine chose otherwise.
Why?
Because I wanted to leave too.
Did you want to know what it feels like to run away from home?
Ugh You make me sound extremely childish.
I was just asking.
Hmph!
Tonys set meal was so good nobody would suspect it was an improvised dish made of leftover ingredients.
That was made evident by how engrossed my junior was in eating it.
Is it because of regret that you havent returned yet?
I was deceived.
What?
Have you read romantic fantasy novels?
My wife has.
Thats what Fantasy was supposed to be for me. I thought I would be the only beautiful woman in a world filled with mediocredies.
Only to find out it was the other way around.
Its not the other way around! Stop saying things that hurt my feelings and bones already, senior!
Huh? How did you know I could hit your spine?
Ah, seriously! If you hadnt bought me food, I would have kicked your shin already.
Wont that just make your feet hurt more?
I hate you!
She started drinking alcohol, which she was initially reluctant to since she was still a minor ording to Earths standards.
Still, she was quite good at drinking even though she hated it.
Ah! To avoid misunderstandings, I rified she was drinking alcohol I ordered for myself.
Cheers.
Did you really live for 200 years?
Youve be a sly snake. Whoo!
Im so proud of you, Han Soo.
The people around me continued to incite and fabricate, but it didnt seem to matter to my junior, who was already drunk.
I postponed my departure thinking Id be able to enjoy a few days of being an actual princess in a romantic fantasy world, but when I came out It was the exact opposite of what I had been hoping for. As you said, there are a lot of women here prettier than I am.
I guess so.
Regardless of their genes, Fantasy natives were born with beautiful spines because of their ability correction.
They had no choice but to be attractive.
But whats even stranger than that is this.
She took out her monphone from her school uniform skirts pocket.
Themunity?
Have you already read what I sent in there?
Not really. I just thought it must be rted to it since you took out your phone.
I couldnt openly confirm her words.
Only faculty members could see the Heroes personal information, after all.
Fortunately, she didnt doubt me.
I see Well, let me ask you this. Howe people refuse to return to their homes and instead defend their kidnappers? She asked with a serious and stern expression.
That was a great question!
Having lived in Fantasy for over 200 years, I had already found the answer to that.
Because our lives in our homes arent as satisfying as our lives here.
How so?
Im not sure.
I was also curious about that, considering I still had no idea why I was brought here.
The only reason I was given was that I was summoned after being deemed a suitable person.
This world does not kidnap people randomly. It only chooses those with appropriate talents.
I know that, too.
Well, since she did, this conversation should flow more smoothly.
I revealed the purpose of my visit aside from my wifes misunderstanding.
What do you think you were summoned?
Perhaps Id find the clue in this disgruntled junior of mine.
Chapter 425 - [33rd Round] That’s Just You
Chapter 425 - [33rd Round] Thats Just You
Why was I summoned?
Yes.
Until I arrived here, I thought I was summoned because I was some sort of chosen protagonist. After all, I was blessed with life soplete I had nothing to be envious about.
Appearance, family, men?
Many men like me, but I dont have a boyfriend
Cheer up.
Im not lying! I just couldnt find the right person!
Thats what they all say.
Fine! Ill have a boyfriend by tomorrow!
Stop focusing on unimportant details and think about why Fantasy chose you.
I already told you. I thought I was chosen because of how amazing I was, only to find out it was all a self-induced illusion!
My resentful junior mmed her fist against the table.
Drunk Heroes expressing their anger normally shattered the furniture receiving their wrath, but she was far too weak to cause the same result.
? Race: Elite Human
? Level: 1
? Job: Unemployed (Experience: 110%)
? Skill: Interpretation A, Charm C, Constipation E, Stamina F, Patience F
? Status: Drunk
I had grown so powerful that I no longer even cared about G or Z ranks these days, but objectively speaking, she was blessed.
Excluding Interpretation A, a default skill everyone had right from the beginning, I focused on Charm C, which she acquired in such a short time even though it couldnt be graded based on appearance alone.
The charisma to attract people.
Physique definitely factored in its calctions since the effects of first impressions couldnt be ignored, but it wasnt its sole and absolute indicator.
In a way, that evidenced she had the Heroes talent to gather colleagues.
Your Charms rank is quite high.
Everyone whos checked my stats says that.
If your Swordsmanship were the one graded that high, youd be able to defeat a goblin even at level 1.
And that was based on her slender bodys limitations.
Had she been muscr, she wouldve been capable of ying orcs already.
If I were in her position, I still wouldnt be able to defeat Noebius or Green Cake, but Id be able to destroy second-ss dragon kings with ease.
Goblin?
You sound like you dont know what they are.
I really dont. Whats a goblin?
How long have you been here again?
Five days, including today.
What have you been doing in the duration where you couldve killed the Demon Lord five times?
Can you please stop treating me like an idiot already? I dont know what goblins are, but I know what the Demon Lord is. Killing him in a day is impossible.
Its doable.
That was exactly what I did, after all.
But she refused to believe me.
I spent my time looking for like-minded people.
But you still couldnt find a boyfriend?
I wasnt searching for one! Stop twisting my words!
I am merely utilizing the virtue of Heroes.
To great Heroes, incitement and fabrication were as natural as breathing.
Speaking of which, why am I a Hero?
I asked that question first.
I wondered what made the Fantasy system deem her worthy of bing one of us.
Why am I unemployed?
Dont worry. Everyone starts without an upation. Itllter change based on individual preferences.
Shouldnt I have the high school student profession, then?!
Didnt the Hero Support Center teach you that if you do repetitive actions, youll acquire skills and a jobpatible with them?
They did.
Then why are you still asking me that?
Because yours says Hero.\''
? Race: Royal Human
?Level: 2481
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
?Skill: Faith Z, Noble Z, Incitement SSS, Fabrication SSS, Charm SS
?Status: Holy Sword, Blessing, Protection
I created temporary stats to avoid being found by my cowardly wife.
But I understood her now.
As if it was only natural, I chose Hero as my job.
Its a profession that can be attained only by doing a certain feat.
Which is defeating Demon Lord Pedonar?
Yes.
Thatspletely nonsensical. Once hes defeated, the world will no longer have any need for a Hero. Thats why people should be woven into that position beforehand! That way, the natives will feel safe and reassured once they emerge.
Youre wrong.
What do you mean?
The Demon Lord is just the beginning for aspiring Heroes like you.
I know that. I heard there are eight grades in total. Still
Youre wondering why youre notbeled as a Hero.
Yes
Only Heroes are able to view stats in the first ce. This worlds natives never wouldve realized by themselves that youre one of us if not for the monphone in your pocket. That being said, having a profession ill-suited to your abilities will be nothing more than just a false pretense. A job much more tailored to your skills is far better than beingbeled a Hero.
How would you know that?
Ive been living here for over 200 years.
Monphone was only ever given to Heroes.
Distributing it to Fantasys locals would make every waking day more colorful, but I chose to leave it as it was.
Especially in the first grade.
To preserve this worlds history, I kept the original Fantasy continent free from any major changes.
Although its indigenous people decreased considerably since most of them migrated to a new dimension, Fantasy 1, the poption of which steadily increased since flush toilets were distributed, was restored in 5 years.
It was different for other dimensions.
While only five years passed here, multiple millenniums had passed in Fantasy 2 to 8.
Arent you tired?
Of living?
Yes. Honestly, I still cant believe it. Two hundred years for me, whos not even 20 years old yet, is a bit too much And you look like youre in your 30s, too.
You mean 20s.
Wheres your conscience?
I am conscience itself.
I spent time talking to my drunken junior about nonsensical topics.
But even in the end, I still couldnt find the answer to why she was summoned.
My junior benefited from gics and was even born into a much wealthier family than mine.
But why?
She thought she was the chosen princess, but the system was the one that decided that.
The intention of other involved parties here was irrelevant.
It selected candidates based on talent.
Thud-!
Cool
Deceived by the sweetness of fruit wine, she filled her stomach with alcohol and soon fell asleep with her forehead on the table.
If she were a fairy, she would have had her body parts dismantled and sold on the ck market as magical ingredients, but nobody even thought of taking her anywhere since she was a normal human being.
Theres something in your mind.
Tony.
My spiritual teacher, who had only been quietly listening to us until now, continued while cleaning an empty ss.
Let me tell you the story of a certain Assassin A, who was ordered by the guild to kill a great nobleman. His target was kind to his people, knew how to listen to his officials, and was faithful to his wife and children.
Did he kill him?
Frustrated by Assassin As hesitation, Assassin B killed him instead. Angered by this, A broke up with his beloved B. What do you think happened after that?
Hmm He became a eunuch?
Youre not wrong, but youre straying away from the topic!
Tony was furious, almost as if it were his business.
What, then?
Suffering from guilt, Assassin A realized Assassin Bs decision wasnt wrong and returned a yearter.
Are you saying that the nobleman was actually a viin?
Its a little moreplicated than that.
Then There must have been a battle for session.
Exactly.
In Fantasy, each noble had a different method of choosing a sessor.
In order of birth, ability, ancestry
Among them, the most difficult selection criterion was ability.
That was extremely subjective, after all.
If one asked who was better between student A, who was better in Math than English, or student B, who was better in English than Math, the answer would be different for each person.
His storys situation was simr to that.
Neither of them yielded, causing their family to split in two.
Siblings indeed should have a good rtionship, but the aristocratic society wasnt so easy-going.
Exactly.
Did it all work out in the end?
Tony sat down next to me.
Yes. Their territory, which was about to be engulfed by civil war, had peace restored to it. The older brother who assassinated his younger brother became so chubby he looked like a dumpling.
Pfft! Ahem!
Hahaha! Im d you enjoyed my story.
Werent they royals, not aristocrats?!
I dont know.
As soon as I saw his mischievous smirk, I burst intoughter.
I cant handle this.
My point is, the results are far more important than the process itself.
Thats a bit
It was as if he was coercing me into something.
I still vividly remember a young man visiting us almost every day toin about his colleagues giving him a hard time. He became an adult in no time, though, and turned into a very shameless married man after not seeing him for a while.
Hahaha
The reason the Fantasy Goddess chose you as a Hero. Have you already answered that question of yours? Ive seen quite a few Heroes in this bar, but I havent seen a single one better than you.
The system Fantasy Goddess saw heroic qualities within me that even I wasnt even aware of?
Yes.
Dont rush yourself. Like Assassin A, you will find the answer someday.
I hope so. Well, its time I take my leave.
What about your junior?
I just met her. She doesnt matter to me.
It would be best for us to go our separate ways now before my cowardly wife got jealous.
If you two stay together like today, wouldnt you be able to find the answer you need sooner?
Ill call the Hero Support Center and ask them to pick her up on my way.
Dont do that. Take her with you instead. My intuition whispers so.
Are you really a former assassin?
Huh? I have no idea what youre talking about.
Sure, sure. You just dont want to be put in an awkward position.
I left the bar, carrying my drunken junior on my left shoulder like a sack of rice.
It was already dawn.
I could just throw her into the Hero Support Center, which was my original n, but Tonys words kept ringing in my ears, preventing me from doing so.
What are you going to do with her, Drug Hero? The Addicted Spirit asked, lying on my head.
Tonys words make sense.
What?
Im going on an adventure to find my juniors hidden talents.
The Righteous GGG-ss Senior overflowed with hopes and dreams.
*****
Hey, where the hell are we?!
Waking up inside her sleeping bag, she immediately raised her upper body and shouted.
Cant you see? Were outdoors.
You know thats not what I meant! Why are we sleeping outside like were homeless when we couldve stayed in a normal inn?!
Is homelessness that strange? Havent you seen people sleeping on the streets after drinking alcohol?
I just didnt expect to be one of them!
My junior checked and examined her body thoroughly.
I wouldnt do that. There is no way your Righteous Senior could have touched your modest pelvis.
Modest pelvis?! I finished second in a beach bikini contestst year! If only my breasts were a little bigger, I wouldve gotten 1st ce Ugh. I dont want to talk about this anymore.
Just eat.
Do you think Ill fall for food in this situation? A scary-looking man kidnaped me while I was sleeping!
Ah, dont worry. Im not interested in women that look like you.
Then why did you bring me out of the city! They say this ce is infested with dangerous monsters!
Dont worry. There are no monsters in this area.
Really?
Yes. This is the territory of a terrifying evil dragon, after all.
Oh my god
So you dont know goblins but know what evil dragons are.
This isnt the time to be talking about something as nonsensical as that! I heard an evil dragon lurks here thats as dangerous as the Demon Lord! We should run before we get caught!
Its already toote.
What?
I pointed behind her, throwing her into confusion.
Excuse me.
Oh! Hes quite a handsome boy
Wrong. Look at his spine.
What about it?
With a sigh, I introduced the person cooking the best dish he could for us.
Thats Red Dragon King Lolicoste, a vicious dragon that only preys on pretty girls. I tracked him specifically to discover your talents.
Aww! Please forgive my weak spine, Fantasys cutest and greatest Emperor! Sniff!
Shut up.
Okay.
I turned my back from him as he silenced himself, then showed my junior my Righteous Heros smile.
You just have to eat breakfast and have a match against him.
Hey Are you sure hes a vile dragon? All I see is an evil man forcing a minor to work for him.
Thats just you.
The Righteous GGG-ss God guaranteed that. Mon.
Chapter 426 - [33rd Round] Qualities of a Hero
Chapter 426 - [33rd Round] Qualities of a Hero
If you really have the talent of a Hero, youll be able to defeat that horse with ease.
How can you call that a horse?! Even youre no match against him! Just look at his level! My junior immediately protested after checking Red Dragon King Lolicostes stats, her face filled with contempt.
Why?
? Race: Red Dragonian
?Level: 15308
?Job: Tyrant (Violence = Domination)
?Skill: Magic ZZZ, Violence ZZ, Mana ZZ, Demonic ZZ, Domination Z
?Status: Transformation, Sickness, Fracture, Fear
Isnt he dangerous enough for me to get killed if I so much as touched him?
He looked fine on the outside, but due to his herniated lumbar and cervical discs, hisbat power dropped by 99.999%.
I wasnt blindly throwing her to certain death!
I hoped she wouldnt misunderstand me.
Please save me, Cute Emperor!
Hey! Why are you treating me like a murderer? I havent even hurt you yet!
But arent you going to kill me soon?!
He was so confident when it came to kidnapping pretty girls.
Yet right now, he was looking pretty weak.
Arrogant against the weak and spineless against the strong.
It wasmon in any world.
I didnt mean to criticize him. There was no honor in being killed, even if it was by a powerful being.
He was like my colleagues during my first round.
Lets not worry about trivial matters, shall we?
Ugh
Why do I even need to do this
The Righteous Former Hero created the desired picture by gently coercing the disgruntled dragon king and human.
Red Dragon King vs. Hero
True Heroes always had a history of killing at least one or two evil lizards.
Please give me a swift death, prettydy
Please save me
Despitecking the motivation to fight, my junior rushed in with a branch.
She disyed extremely poor movement.
Forget dragons. Shed have trouble defeating goblins.
sh.
Noticing her weakness, Lolicoste immediately revealed his true nature.
Though he was just trembling, his eyes changed in an instant as he cast his favorite propriety magic.
Mon?
Mon?!
Mon!
Mon slimes poured out of his pockets.
He used to summon arge number of slimes using spatial transference magic in the past, but since my Providence cut off the powers of time and space, he had been using a shortcut.
Compression.
One could argue that it was still magic that manipted space, but if I interfered even in such trivial factors, there would no longer be any magic allowed in Fantasy.
Huh? Oh god!
Confused by the sudden emergence of numerous slimes, my junior stopped momentarily, only to realize her worries were all for naught.
Mon mon~
Mon~
The slimes, which were the same ones used for slime toilets, stripped her thoroughly.
They left not even a single thread on her.
Their training went well.
Their kind normally melted even their targets body, but the ones he released were quite clever.
They even seemed capable of differentiating the different types of hair while giving her hair removal treatment.
Haha! Any woman caught by the slimes I raised myself would immediately feel weirded out and ufortable, no matter how arrogant they are.
Ahhh!
Emperor! I dont have any particr interest or resentment in this average-lookingdy, but I have no choice but to make her feel strange and demoralize her!
This little boy
My name is not Little Boy. I am the Red Dragon King Lacoste. All stories about beautiful princesses being kidnapped have my name on them. Thats why I am the most famous of all dragons.
The victor seemed to have been decided.
If my junior had seeded in approaching him, she couldve won, but she was now buried in mon slimes.
At that moment
Whats wrong with how I look, you perverted little boy?!
Enraged by his remarks, she grabbed a stone that had fallen near her and threw it with all her might.
Tok!
It sessfully reached its target, partly because he didnt feel the need to avoid it. Still, her uracy was quite amazing, considering she was in the midst of a frenzy and was stuck under multiple slimes.
What made you think such a feeble attack will work against me? Pathetic!
Ugh!
Hahaha! Haha Cough?!
Laughing so hard that his back arched and tilted, he copsed and seemingly suffered from seizures.
With his spine in an extremely precarious condition, he essentially brought about his own demise by cackling too much.
Why dont you smile again for me, you perverted kid?
Come on, wait!
What? I cant hear you properly.
The mon slimes attached to her skin moved along with her, almost as if they had be her new clothes.
She then ced her right foot on her opponents back, who was trying to crawl away from her.
I was kidding! Youre extremely pretty. Theres no one more beautiful than you are. Please forgive me Aaaaagghhhh?!
Shut up.
She stomped on him with her heel.
In an instant, their situations had been reversed.
The stupid lizard injuring himself byughing was beyond my expectations, but my junior won regardless.
Wow
There was no way their positions could be overturned again. After all, though he had the nasty hobby of kidnapping beautifuldies, the Red Dragon King had a self-enforced iron rule to never hurt women.
Even if it meant death.
If it werent for that, he could have burned or frozen my junior in no time at all with his ZZ-rank Magic.
Huh? Youre kidding, right? You didnt die just because I stepped on your back, did you?
Nonsense She muttered in disbelief as she stared at the heinous dragon she just subdued.
Since she was still new to this world, evidenced by her level still being 1, this was probably her first murder experience.
It was probably quite shocking for her.
I was like that at first, too.
Great job.
Approaching her, I praised her with sincerity.
What are you talking about?
You couldve restrained him more easily if you targeted the space between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, but attacking him between his 3rd and 4th isnt that bad either.
Lumbar?
The spine in the lower back. Didnt you learn about it in school?
Thats not what I meant I just didnt expect to hear that word here. No, more importantly, is this kid really dead?
Look at your level.
Oh!
? Race: Elite Human
? Level: 3071
? Job: Hero (200% Experience)
?Skills: Sadism S, Physics S, Interpretation A, Charm B, Stamina C
?Status: Shocked, Mon
If my juniors job offered a 500% increase in experience gain, her level wouldve jumped higher, but one shouldnt be greedy from the first sip.
Still, based on the first grades standards, her level was already quite high.
Hmm. I didnt expect this either.
If she didnt step on his back, he wouldnt have died in vain.
Should I consider this a draw?
I didnt think Lolicoste would self-destruct byughing, but I still had to acknowledge my juniors tenacity for enduring through it all.
???A certain righteous divine being highly appreciates someone.???
???A certain god agrees.???
???A certain obscene angel shows interest.???
???A certain god demands an encore.???
You did a good job.
A couple of deities serving as passionate teachers in the Fantasy Institution began to show interest in my junior.
I didnt know whether to consider this good or bad luck.
Is he faking it?
Put on some clothes first.
Oh?!
Finally realizing she was still naked, she hastily took and wore the outfit Lolicoste left behind when his corpse turned into dust and scattered back into nature since we had no spare clothes.
It was tight around her chest and hips since it was tailored ording to his physique, but she still wore it without hesitation, deciding it was better than being naked.
It also came with a bonus anyway.
Mon~
Mon mon~
The mon slimes the Red Dragon King raised as a hobby quietly bounced back into the pockets of his clothes which my junior now owned.
They were strong enough not to be ignored.
? Race: Genius Slime
? Level: 1540
? Job: Assassin (Night Burrow)
? Skills: Massage SS, Undressing S, Latent A, Compression A, Corrosion A
?Status: Compressed, Latent
Based on the 1st grades standards, they were apex predators.
They were a much more powerful weapon than the Holy Swords, given to those who could pass any of the Saintesses trials.
Moreover, they were capable of giving massages.
I was well aware of how important that was in relieving fatigue, considering I used to receive it from Hippolia every day when I was still active.
My bodys so light I feel like I can fly, senior.
Thats because your level has risen.
She went from level 1 to level 3000 in an instant.
It was only natural for her to feel tremendous changes in her physique.
This is making me feel like Im involved in something outrageous.
Thats just you. Anyway, always remember that the Hero Support Center will rece your monphone if you lose or break it for a price.
Its extremely durable and sturdy, though.
Of course. Its made with materials that would remain unscathed even if a dragon were to step on it.
Strictly speaking, it was indestructible.
Some used this as a substitute for a shield, but only a few could aplish such a feat since the area it could block was fairly small.
Im a little confused.
Why?
I was going to return to my home quickly, but Ive grown quite interested in this world, making me decide to postpone it.
Do you feel anything weird in your body?
Definitely not!
You dont have to be so shy. Even the second most beautiful devil and angel in the world are strange.
Are you talking about your cowardly wife, whom you spoke ofst night?
One is my wife, and the other is a distant rtive.
The second angel, Umamiel, was Parmaels real daughter.
ording to our genealogy, she was my rtive.
How long do you n on following me anyway?
Ill leave as soon as Ive confirmed you really have the qualities of a Hero. Let me tell you this in advance: I am a married man with three wives. Dont even think about trying to seduce me.
Youre too proud of yourself, senior.
Im not praising myself. Its not my fault Im objectively handsome.
This worlds aesthetic standards are just bizarre! Any sane being wouldve mistaken you for a bandit boss like I did when we first met.
Sigh Follow me.
Where are you going to take me this time?
I think youre making a huge error. Ill show you the real bandit boss.
Do I really have to see them?
Yes. Unless you do, youll be no more than a living corpse, obsessed with prejudice and obsession until the day you die. Youre still young, but youve already
Just go already!
The group of heroes who defeated the Red Dragon King Lolicoste moved to the Eastern Continent.
To pay a visit to the Bandit Kings den.
*****
I wanted to use the Righteous Heros Wings, but I decided to take a taxi to avoid doubts.
Calling a taxi in a fantasy world
Is it that strange?
It is! Having a cellphone here already doesnt make sense, but now, as soon as you contacted someone, a vampire on an airship flew over and helped us cross the sea
Then how should I do it to make it more fantasy-like?
Well
Listen carefully, junior. Its not right to think of such intricacies as heresy just because youre not used to them.
Tsk. You sound like a teacher who never puts his teachings into practice.
Im speaking from experience.
I just said that because I hate your know-it-all attitude.
Haha!
I burst outughing.
Whats so funny?
After listening to what you said, I realized Im getting older too. Is this what senility is?
How old are you, exactly?
I don know. I stopped counting when I reached 100 years old. Anyway, were almost there, so brace yourself. Even your underwear can get stolen in that ce if you stop paying attention for even just a second.
Isnt that a pce?
Have you never heard of the saying that goes, only those caught are bandits, those who arent are called wealthy? Essentially, since his business is booming, he can live in a nice property like this instead of a damp and dull cave.
Shameless
We got off the taxi, which Coinosseur Shakespeare drove, right in front of our destination.
The Bandit Kings den.
The epitome of banditry and his harem lived here.
I didnt know if hed still recognize me, though.
Who What?!
One of the minions guarding the entrance recognized me.
And secondster, his formerpanion, the Bandit King, ran out barefoot.
What did the Heroe to this shabby ce for?!
I have a junior whos curious about what a real bandit looks like.
Thats right.
For reference, the Bandit Kings race was mixed, inheriting the advantages of both elves and humans.
My junior gave him a puzzled look.
A prince on a white horse?
Thats the bandit boss.
No way!
I felt proud of myself for being able to teach her how the world of Fantasy worked.
I didnt even expect the Bandit King would look so embarrassed in front of me.
I didnt think we were this close.
Father!
Huh?
Green Cake?
Wait a minute! Is that green-haired prince your son?
Well
You two dont have any resemnce Hohoho! Hello! Nice to see you! Im learning so many things from my great senior!
Her attitude became way too suspicious.
Chapter 427 - [33rd Round] Cute Emperor’s Bloodline
Chapter 427 - [33rd Round] Cute Emperors Bloodline
As demonstrated by the Loli Kings, dragons could transform at will.
Male, female, neutral, bisexual, young, old, orc, elf
They couldnt create apletely new race, but they could change their form into any living creature.
As for Green Cake
Are you my fathers disciple?
Yes. How about we get to know each other? Whats your name?
Green Cake.
Not your nickname
Thats the real name my proud father gave me.
Thats right.
He used to look like a kid in the past, but as my eldest son, he thought others might look down on his appearance that looked younger than his little siblings.
Hence, he now looked like he was in his early to mid-20s.
Whats going on here, Green Cake?
After our adventures in the Sea of Death together, I often visit the Bandit King mainly to discuss the environmental conservation issues regarding Fantasy 1s Eastern Continent Forest.
Right.
My Providence could instantly turn a wastnd into a jungle, but using such methods wasnt right.
It would be no different from Parmael and Lanuvel artificially limiting the Heroes adventures.
My fathers sudden appearance honestly surprised me. If I had known beforehand, I wouldve prepared ordingly.
How?
First, I wouldve improved this environment, which seems to be interfering with our conversation. He said, ncing at the people around him, including the Bandit King.
I red at my junior as well, but she didnt seem to notice my intentions at all.
We can just do it in a rougher manner.
How much time do you have, father?
Why? Is there anything you would like to discuss?
Nothing like that Ah! Remember the Hero named Satan?
I do.
The first andst graduate of the 6th curriculum.
He wouldve had trouble if Green Cake didnt help, but he chose to graduate upon reaching my throne, no matter how expedient it was.
He was probably one of the staff members participating in the teachers training.
He keeps bothering me.
Is that so?
I wish he could just be my close friend who knows your greatness well, but he keeps trying to cross the line.
Hmm
Green Cake was already old enough to worry about such things, huh.
He was a dragon, so I thought he would only start thinking about this topic after thousands of years at the earliest. I didnt expect it toe so swiftly and without notice.
Satan sounds like a boys name, but is she a girl? My junior interrupted us.
Now that I thought about it, he was quite the man.
My alter ego defeated his colleagues at thest stretch of his adventure, but he still tried to fight me alone.
Dont rush and just observe. If he gives up or urges you to do something you dont want, then you can just end your connection with him.
What?
You seem to like Satan quite a bit.
No, Im just evaluating him rtive to your options. Hes a hundred times better than Lanuvels daughter. I try not to base my judgment on genealogy, but I just cant let this one go.
I see.
Hmm?
Its nothing.
I felt like I sensed an ominous sign of Fantasys end. Was it just me?
She intervened again.
I apologize for interrupting your conversation as a family, senior, but please introduce me to your son, at least~
Havent I already done that?
No.
Oh, that was why.
Well, Green Cake, this ordinary-looking girl is my junior whose name I dont know yet.
Ah
Realizing she hadnt even told me her name yet, frustration devoured her expression.
Celebrities asionally made simr mistakes, thinking anyone theyd meet would know them. In this world, it was often done by royals and aristocrats.
However, he gave an unexpected answer.
I already know her.
You do?
Was she really a celebrity I wasnt aware of?
Shes Aries, the Hero that caused amotion in the monphonemunity.
Wow! How did you know that was me? She asked, her expression changing from hellish to heavenly.
Because Im his son.
Huh?
It is only proper for the son of such an outstanding Hero to be aware of everything. I even know what youre thinking right now.
Oh!
The answer he gave shouldve caused more suspicion, but she didnt seem to care. Instead, she covered her reddening cheeks with both hands.
After that, we spent time talking about various topics before finally leaving the Bandit Kings den.
Ah
My junior looked disappointed, but exchanging monphone contact information with my son seemed to have cheered her up.
She was being too obvious.
Did you like Green Cake that much?
Yes! Hes amazing!
This was troublesome.
I knew love had no borders or race, but he had no gender
Still, I liked that her attitude, which was uncooperative until she saw him, hadpletely changed.
Our next stop is the Northern Continent.
Why are we going there?
Its a holy site for Monism, the popr religion of Fantasy. One cannot separate Heroes and faith from each other, you know.
Are you still testing my qualities?
Of course.
Have I proven myself to be a great daughter-inw, at least?
Not really, no.
No way! Whys that?!
Even though we met by coincidence, there was no way I would introduce a young girl with such a weak spine to my son as a possible love interest of his.
You need to work harder to earn his love.
Then leave me here. I will stay on the Eastern Continent to win him over.
Arent you supposed to go back home soon?
Ill be dying my departure again. Theres no man as handsome as your son back there. His smile whenever he calls you father still lingers in my head.
Wow
I thought she had be cooperative, but it seemed the other way around.
If I had lied about her being a candidate to be my daughter-inw, everything wouldve worked out ording to n, but such misdeeds didnt sit right with my spine.
What should I do Ah!
Farewell, senior. Thank you so much for the past two days.
Another son of mine lives in the Northern Continent.
Even if everything works out for you right now, your rtionship will be hindered by a racial barrierter since hes a dragon. However, my second son is human down to his bones.
Is he handsome?
Do you judge others by their looks?
I dont judge people based on their looks, but everyone should take others appearance into consideration. Of course, its a different story when ites to sir Green Cake.
Hmm
In that regard, we were the same.
I judged women based on their spines.
So, is your son in the Northern Continent handsome?
I dont know about that. He resembles my wife except for her spine.
Im looking forward to it!
Whys that?
Because all of the women in the photos you showed me to introduce your wives were beautiful.
Hmm.
Shed be disappointed once she learned of their personalities.
The Addicted Spirit, quietly listening on top of my head, was alreadyughing so hard her shoulders were shaking.
Lets go!
Alright.
Wasnt this my journey to finding out why I was kidnapped and brought to Fantasy?
Why did this be a journey to introduce her to my sons?
Beep!
Again, I called a taxi.
As if it was just waiting in our vicinity, an airship with a futuristic design arrived before us in less than 20 seconds.
Where should I take you, Hero? The vampire wearing a sunscreen helmet asked politely.
To the Northern Continents Magic Empire.
The time hade to meet Kaisa and Chris.
****
Northern Continents Magic Empire.
Itpletely disappeared after I defeated my father-inw and regressed.
Currently, it was stated that it only existed in historical records.
However, my son Chris founded it and gave it to his mother, calling it a birthday present.
He created an exact replica of its former state.
Wow
Why are you acting like a countryside girl, junior? Have you never seen magic?
Im sure youre used to seeing this every day, but Ive never seen such a sight in the Central Continent.
It is the Magic Empire, after all.
My son restored the Magic Empire that I established when I was a cute emperor as much as possible.
This wasnt caused by my interference with the system, but something Chris copied from his childhood memories and the founding myth.
He adapted the passage that the princess, sold as a ve from the Magic Kingdom, gave birth to the First Emperor in a stable, but he reembodied the rest quite well.
When the Cute Emperor was three years old, he impregnated the Sword Princess, his mothers best friend and escort knight, with Chris.
The past that disappeared, the lost birth records
Chris artificially restored it all.
On a scale that ordinary people couldnt even begin to fathom.
Senior.
What?
Is your son the Emperor of the Northern Continent?
Yes.
I couldnt say I was proud, though, since he didnt hesitate to go to war to restore his birth record.
Just as I did before, he brought the existing powerful Northern Continental powers and countries to their knees one after another, eradicating nearly all of their nobles and the dark organizations that resisted the imperial forces.
It was simr to the ways of the Sword Princess!
I had no intention of interfering in my childrens lives, but I couldnt help but shake my head whenever I thought of him.
I understand your race now.
What race?
Royal Human.
Ah, my race.
It didnt mean I owned such a small piece ofnd, but I decided to let it go since she was roughly right.
It seems your familys be quite renowned due to your 200 years of Heroism. I have a question, though.
What?
How many wives do you have? A hundred? Two hundred?
Your guess is too far off. Im not like Fugitive Senior Anyway, officially three. If you include unofficial ones, four.
Unofficial? I see.
Why are you pretending to know something?
Isnt your situation simr to that story of a vile king secretly touching his maid?
No, its not?
Hippolia was too close to a hot pack in my pocket to call her my wife.
Anyway, this topic shouldnt be discussed while visiting my wife that was exceptionally good with sharp objects.
Monus, the Imperial Pce of the Magic Empire.
The capital of the Western Continents vampire empire, Empire of Eternal Night, which boasted thergest scale, waspletely moved to Fantasy 7, bing the worlds number one in all aspects.
Size, national power, authority, culture
Moreover, its emperor became so powerful he made even mon slimes shrink.
Arent you already married to her? Are you having an affair?
Im not. What about you?
Never!
What do you think about having multiple handsome husbands?
Well, thats a bit of a concern
Like many female Heroes I had observed, she fell into happy thoughts.
Considering she killed Lolicoste throughughter, this wouldnt end with just a simple delusion.
Of course, it would be difficult for her to create a harem if she only desired top-of-the-line husbands.
Lets go in.
Why are you breaking in like a thief?
We crossed the fortress wall without entering through the front door proudly.
A magical barrier that served as a surveince camera was spread out throughout this ce, just like in the Magic Empires capital, but bypassing it was childs y for me.
I didnt even have to use my skills due to my experience being enough
beep
Intruder alert! Intruder alert!
Go to point 294!
Surround him!
Surrender now, intruder!
We got caught.
We wouldnt have been if she had been diligently following my footsteps, but my junior looked away and derailed from the path I set.
Thats why countryfolk shouldnt be taken to undercover missions
???A certain restless demonic god chuckles.???
Why was he still around?
Didnt you say youre the father of the Magic Empires Emperor, senior? This treatment tells me otherwise
Thesemon guards naturally dont know me, but just you wait. My son will soon
Swoosh!
It was dangerous.
If I reacted a littleter, I wouldve been cut between my 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, not my hair.
So youvee, dad. The young man brazenly greeted me after cowardlyunching a surprise attack.
Your wee is far too cruel, Chris.
You have no right to say that, considering youve brought a new woman with you.
Thats not it!
This child hadnt even scouted the situation properly yet, but he had already swung his sword at me!
He truly did carry his mothers blood.
I cant believe your taste in women has been lowered so much.
Because it hasnt! Even if it had, you shouldnt try to slice my spine as soon as you see me.
Thats not something my father would say. There seems to be something wrong with her, too.
What?
My juniors expression became strange again.
Wow Whoa
Hey. Are you okay?
Not okay at all
Huh?
This was serious!
Was she selected as a Hero because she was a socially mdjusted person who had never held a mans hand before?
I seriously considered that possibility.
No way.
Chapter 428 - [33rd Round] FFF-Class Hero of Interest
Chapter 428 - [33rd Round] FFF-ss Hero of Interest
Where are you going this time, senior? Ill risk my life here to challenge
You can do thatter. We have a much more important problem right now.
Only the Emperor was in the Imperial Pce of the Magic Empire anyway, so I escaped immediately.
ording to my adorable sons exnation, Kaisa was helping my mother pack her things.
If so, then there was nothing to see here.
In the first ce, I only needed Chris to lure my junior to the Northern Continent.
With that done, I now headed to the Holy Land of the Mon Church, which was my original goal all along.
What is it?
Dont worry.
It would be quite depressing if the reason why I was summoned were that trivial.
So, where are you going?
To my friend from my home.
Ah! I see. Do you think the reason youre summoned lies in how you lived back there?
It was still too early to reach a conclusion.
Arent you going to call a taxi this time?
Our next destination is close to the Imperial Pce.
This was Monus, thergest city in Fantasy 1.
All the talented Heroes lived here.
In a bad sense.
It meant they couldnt get promoted to Fantasy 2, which wouldve been in line with their abilities, and decided to settle down to like a lord ordy in the lower grades instead.
Of course, this problem would be sorted out soon.
Would they be expelled or continue their studies?
I still couldnt decide since some of them were really incapable of surpassing their current limitations.
However, so far, based on my observations about these socially mdjusted individuals, more and more of them were taking advantage of this and deliberately not raising their level and skills.
Now, without mercy, it was time to exact justice!
Again, we entered someone elses house through their perimeter walls.
Dont look away like a country girl this time, junior.
I wont!
Be quiet.
Gasp!
Considering she made the same mistake over and over again, wasnt she being too careless?
That only made me doubt whether she actually had the qualities of a Hero. It seemed as if shed die right after being thrown into a dungeon since shed immediately step on traps.
Fortunately, thendlord didntunch any surprise attacks this time.
Oh, Kang Han Soo? Is that really you?
Its been a while, my friend!
This high school ssmate of mine, now living in a luxurious mansion, was also a candidate for expulsion. He, too, would soon be forced to make a choice.
Whats my name?
Its been a long time, friend.
Did you forget again? How dare you still call yourself my friend, you motherfucker! Alumni A eximed as he hugged me.
His actions made me feel extremely ufortable, but I came here for a reason, so I decided to endure it.
I have a question for you.
Its really like you to get straight to business as soon as you arrive, but why dont youe inside first?
Are you trying to brag about your children?
Haha! you should pretend not to know anything in cases like this and ept my invitation nonchntly.
My junior and I went into Alumni As house.
*****
The Heroes epilogue.
Like Fugitive Senior, they might be corrupt and run away from home, but most of them would flow like this friend of mine.
Hello, Kang Han Soo.
Its been a while, Green Cakes father.
He married two women he met while on an adventure and raised arge family.
This is a little surprising.
I understood the mix-blooded Hero I made, but I didnt expect for the Princess of the Holy Empire, a ve to power, to be here.
Did she read my expression?
My husbands persistent lust for love was stronger than my lust for power. She said, stroking her babys head.
Hmmmm!
I was married 14 times with my husband since he repeatedly regressed. When my memories came rushing in all at once I wouldnt have to keep exining since you already understand, dont you?
I did.
Repeated learning!
I decided to acknowledge my friends perseverance, marrying the same woman 14 times.
He was definitely given a fresh start with the princess every time, yet he still repeated the same life endlessly.
That wouldve been pretty boring.
I am grateful every day to Master Mon for stopping that hellish regression, Han Soo.
Woah
Really. Imagine your wife sleeping with another man in a parallel world beyond the one you were living in. I couldnt stand it. My every waking day was filled with pain.
Master Mon drove the goddess out and ended that hell. It saddens me that the only way I can repay him is through prayer and donations.
Mon Revtion 9:13. Ignorant of everyone, the uwful schr grows tired of reality.
Mon.
Mon.
Master Mon doesnt only look upon you, my friend. So there is no need to feel pressured.
I know that, but Mon.
You shouldnt worry. Mon.
I was disappointed to see my stupid junior unable to keep up with our high-level conversation, but there was nothing we could do.
Let me introduce you to my children.
Lets talk about why I came here first
Dont worry. Ill listen to thatter all night.
My ignorant nerves were about to get tighter, but I held back since I couldnt just grab his spine in front of his wife and children.
Should I just find another ssmate?
After thinking about it 15 times, I was finally able to bring it up.
You want to know about your school days, Kang Han Soo?
Yes.
Hmm
Wait. That was over 200 years ago. If it werent for my SS-level intelligence, Id have forgotten about it already.
Just be honest with me. As you said, it was already 200 years ago.
Thump-thump.
My heart beat as hard as it did just before I received my second report card.
How did my ssmates evaluate me when I was still in school?
It was very important to me now.
You were an annoying guy.
Thats too vague.
You were the type to enjoy studying fantasy novels and games, just like us, but you were also good at studying. Have I already said that you didnt like fantasy worlds without flush toilets? That was a bit of an oddity, but I realized the importance of flush toilets by experiencing it myself. Haha!
And?
Hmm Theres no end to the details. You often forget your friends names even though you know scientific terms that arent in textbooks. Did you know that there was a girl who liked you? She knew a lot about magazines like a mysterious science dictionary.
Hmm? Really?
Yeah. She probably meant nothing to you, who married the second most beautiful woman after my wife, but she was one of the prettiest girls in our grade. I dont know why she took an interest in you, though.
I see
You look relieved. Have you been used of being a flirt by your wife?
No.
I hadntpletely dispelled the suspicion that I was also a social misfit, but my ssmates judgment of me diminished its probability of being true.
Ah! right!
What is it?
I remember why the girl might like you.
I dont care.
???A certain innocent goddess is very interested.???
???A certain innocent goddess is really curious.???
???A certain innocent goddess twinkles hernterns.???
I couldnt help but wonder when she started eavesdropping.
???A certain restless demonic god urges him to speak quickly.???
???A certain restless demonic god suggests exchanging stories and underwear.???
???A certain receptionist feels dazed by the sudden remark.???
I didnt know if Alumni A unconsciously felt the pressure of the gods who would destroy this world immediately if not given what they wished for, but he began to tell stories I never even asked for.
When you went on a school trip early to prepare for the SAT, you met a local college girl.
Is that so?
I couldnt remember.
Hey. The party directly involved should know about it better than I do! We were far apart then, so I dont know all the details, but you were alone with a female student And you two Huh?
You dont even remember?
This is strange. I can recall even the most trivial things from my school days, yet I forgot such an important event?
That should be my line.
I didnt even know such an event happened.
Anyway, because of that college girl, rumors of you being in a rtionship with her began to spread.
I see.
It was extremely embarrassing.
It wouldnt have mattered if it was just something as trivial or minor as that, but I couldnt shake the feeling that I was missing something important.
Kang Han Soo, where do you live? Ill visit youter when I remember it
8th grade.
Kek!
Dont make me wait too long.
I hoped this friend of mine, who had be a full-fledged household head, would be expelled from school so that he wouldnt have to be separated from his family. Mon.
*****
In the end, my adventure came to an end without finding out why I was summoned.
Though she initially thought she would return to her hometown soon, my junior decided to stay longer.
In the end, were different.
Unlike her, I didnt change my mind during my adventure.
I dont know why youre worried, senior.
Mon Revtion 10:1. Let those who have no doubt be delivered from ignorance.
I really dont get that! Anyway, Your concerns are really strange. I think theyre a waste of time.
Why?
I followed you around in your desire to find your beautiful wife and wonderful children. Friends too.
You wanted to see my sons.
Hey, thats Anyway! Your life is sessful no matter how I look at it. How can you still be dissatisfied with being summoned to this world?
Dissatisfied?
Yes.
One shouldnt have an alls well that ends well mindset, considering that would be no different from Elf Princess Sylvia, who led her people to hell.
I am deeply reflecting on the handsome appearance of the Bandit King. I think my senior also needs to broaden his horizons a bit more.
What? What about you? You acted as if youd never seen handsome men all your life.
You have a really bad personality. You take hold of others weaknesses and twist the essence of the conversation.
Youre fluent in Korean.
Im a little Ah! Im not going to fall for that this time! Listen to me. You said that only the socially mdjusted who want to escape to another world are summoned to Fantasy, right?
Yes, I did.
But isnt this world too pitiful?
Huh?
What did she mean?
A world that epts abandoned humans from another dimension. How is it any different from a garbage dump?
Thats
It was easy to use them freely, so only they were selected.
However, she seemed to have a slightly different opinion.
Maybe Fantasy felt threatened by the increasing amount of trash and summoned the humans it really needs.
Self-purification?
What? Oh, yes. Thats it.
The system didnt have such a feature.
It summoned heroes ording to the standardized selection criteria.
It didnt have a function as useful as self-purification of environmental pollution.
What was Fantasy?
A cosmic Greenpeace!
It was a facility that educated people on how to be decent human beings by recycling discarded individuals from other dimensions.
But, what if, beyond that limit, Fantasy felt a sense of crisis?
I thought I was wasting my time, but you helped in the end.
Are you insulting me?
Its apliment.
Thats such a bone-breaking one, if so. Let me meet Emperor Chris again instead.
Do it yourself. I already let you familiarize yourself with his appearance.
Sheesh.
But if you can reach 8th grade, I will take it into serious consideration. I cant guarantee my son will still be single by then, though.
Do you gain happiness from trampling on other peoples dreams and hopes, senior?
Haha!
I waved pleasantly to my grumpy junior, bidding her farewell.
Pop!
It was time for me to return where I should be.
If it were me in the past, I would have thought of Earth, but not anymore.
Fantasy 8.
My wife took care of the 1st to 7th grade, but I directly tended to the 8th grade.
This was the final battlefield.
Also known as the Presidents Office.
How did the inspection go, master?
The 100th floor of the Demon Kings Tower, which no Hero had ever challenged.
Sitting on a flush toilet, a woman waited for me.
I called out her name with the Righteous Heros Smile.
Hippolia.
Yes.
Am I still your Hero?
Of course.
She answered without hesitation.
Then
Does this world previously ruled by Parmael think of me that way?
As my junior said, even if Fantasy had a self-purification feature that transcended its system, it would be meaningless if it didnt think of me as a Hero.
But how could I prove that it did?
Whew! Even my master can be silly at times.
W-well
How could Hippolia, not Ssosia, say such harsh things to me
Think about why you got an FFF grade.
Hmm?
Its proof that you resisted the reign of Goddess Parmael. Be proud of yourself, my FFF-ss Hero of Interest.
Ah
That was it.
I was an FFF-ss Hero of Interest, the person who stood out in this world filled with hopes and dreams.
Are you still thinking about it?
Hahaha Even Heroes sometimes miss their Holy Sword, my Saintess.
You miss it often, though
Haha!
The FFF-ss Hero who challenged the Fantasy Goddess continued to wait.
For his SSS-ss juniors challenge.
Chapter 429 - [Extra 3333] Cute Emperor
Chapter 429 - [Extra 3333] Cute Emperor
There was an order from His Majesty to honor and respect you, princess. If you ignore his favor, your country wont be able to escape his wrath.
What about the baby in my womb?
The bloodline of a filthy country. It will die as soon as its born.
That cant be
She entered into a political marriage with an ally to face the golden golem of a new empire that had emerged as a new powerhouse.
However, their alliance was destroyed within a year, and the royal family was annihted while fleeing.
She was still alive only purely because of her beauty, widely known throughout the Northern Continent.
Follow me. If there is even a scratch on your body, we wont be able to face His Majesty.
Donte any closer.
Give up. We have massacred even the knights who were escorting the royal family. There will be no reinforcementsing to save you.
Amid that desperate situation, the princess remembered her past. Her desire to live then was strong, at least until she married the prince of her humble ally and bedded him.
However, as new life began to grow in her belly, she had a change of heart.
For this child, who was to be born out of the selfishness of adults, she decided to live in atonement.
Our offer to you is fair, princess. It is an honor to have the child of a great ruler who will unify and rule the Northern Continent like the ancient Magic Empire. Compared to the wretched lineage you have now
p!
The new empires knight abruptly stopped midsentence, his eyes gazing up into the sky nkly.
What happened?
She wondered, following the direction of his stare until she saw a being that made her lose her mind and forget about the situation.
Beautiful. Noble.
Since birth, she always received suchpliments, but the existence before her was on apletely different level.
Goddess? She uttered, thinking the creator of Fantasy would definitely look like her.
Slowly descending from the sky with her tinum-colored hair fluttering, she nced around her.
He mustve been put in great danger. The goddess said, her voice domineering all sounds, almost as if she spoke right into her audiences ears.
Each act of hers was a work of art, and her presence overwhelmed those before her like a natural queen.
Hey, identify yourself!
The bewildered knight demanded as he took a step back from the princess.
Those two words represented the confusion of everyone gathered here.
Do I really want her to answer?
They couldnt help but feel that way, considering she might be like the emperor, who didnt waste time on wretched ves.
But the woman was kind.
Do you need to know?
She didnt answer properly, but just the fact that she did made her emotional.
Themander of the knights at the forefront was the first toe to his senses in this strange and absurd situation.
Capture that woman alive!
His loyalty alone could be said to be the best.
Ah!
Yes, Baron!
The knights and soldiers surrounding the princess narrowed the distance between them.
The new empires main weapon was their golems. However, fighting against all the countries of the Northern Continent, it had none to spare for such a trivial hobby.
They were overflowing with knights, though.
Many people had sworn allegiance to the new empire to turn their lives around, and even mercenaries were joining their faction one after another even at this moment.
This is going to be difficult, but
Pop!
The woman summoned a staff seemingly out of nowhere, the head of a beautiful elf hanging from its tip instead of a magical orb.
Her image, which had been akin to a goddess until just now, changed to that of a witch in an instant.
Fight. She ordered her weapon.
A very odd request.
Why me? The elf head hanging from its tip asked.
There is no time to argue. Would you prefer to be destroyed?
How am I supposed to fight without limbs
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
A geometric magic circle appeared around the grunting staff.
Ancient magic.
There was no wizard present in their vicinity with enough wisdom and expertise to identify it, making her opponents unaware it was real in the sense that it wasnt a skill provided by the system.
Magic!
Be careful
Pop! Swoosh! Pop! Pop!
Not long after the magic circles emergence, fireballs darted out of it, burning all but one of the knights and soldiers into charcoal.
Hurry and tell His Majesty
Taking advantage of the confusion, the knightmander immediately turned away from the battlefield and made a quick escape.
End him. The woman ordered the elf once more.
Thats going to be hard. That knight has high resistance to magic, so my orthodox magic
Boo-woong
The woman flew towards her remaining target and swung her staff at him.
Kang!
Ahhh?!
The female head collided with his te armor, the sound of a blunt weapon striking metal echoing across the field.
Considering the back of his armor had been dented, at least his spine had to have been smashed.
Krrreughh Cough!
Despite his stats being close to level 300, themander soon fell down and stopped breathing.
Ah The princess uttered, unable to keep her mouth shut after witnessing such a horrific scene from beginning to end.
What brought her back to her senses was the head attached to the womans staff.
Dont you know who I am?! Im the sister of legendary 3rd Elf King Elfheim Kahn Lanuberk
Im not interested.
Even though Im now no better than a golem, my soul
Be quiet.
Listen. Winners should show mercy and generosity to the loser
Should I bury your face into the ground?
After silencing her chatty weapon with a gelid tone, she slowly turned to the princess, her expression changing from winter to spring.
She looked at her belly, which hadnt swelled up yet.
Im d that youre safe.
Her words were quite vague.
Was she speaking to the child in her womb, thest scion of an exiled country?
Or was she simply showing pure concern for the pregnant woman?
Whatever her reason, the princess felt relieved.
Who are you?
Im Hippolia.
Hippolia
The continent being unaware of such a beautiful woman was quite surprising.
It was as if she descended from the skies above.
Her guess wasnt entirely wrong, though, since she actually did.
Are you an angel? She asked. The symbolic wings on her back were a clear giveaway, but she couldnt be certain until Hippolia confirmed it herself.
She had never seen an angel in person, after all, since their noble race disappeared quite long ago.
I was a human just like you until recently.
I see
Unable to determine how to reply, she turned her gaze away and looked around her, finding nothing but corpses.
Hippolias magical offensive annihted all of the princesss pursuers.
If it had been her in the past, she would have trembled in fear of her and vomited, but for better or worse, she became numb after seeing a man with mixed flesh being brutally murdered in front of her eyes.
Lets move before our opponents reinforcementse, shall we?
Ah, yes!
The two women disappeared into a burned forest.
*****
They had been together ever since their first memorable meeting.
The princess thought it would be nice to return to her home country or her parents to ask for a favor, but if she were to be sent off to get married in a foreign country again, everything would go south for her.
Moreover, she was the princess of an already ruined kingdom.
She was no longer of value, considering she couldnt be used as a political tool anymore.
Miss Hippolia.
Hence, this angel was the only being she could rely on.
Are you unwell? Did your legs swell up again?
No. The swellings diminished a lot since yesterday.
Thats a relief. I apologize for not being able to prevent natural phenomena from urring using my healing abilities
Dont be sorry. If you hadnt been here, by now, my baby and I wouldnt have survived for this long.
Special magic wouldve gotten her child killed, and she wouldve been reduced to a toy of the new emperor.
Terrified just by imagining it, she trembled.
Whoosh.
And Hippolia immediately put a thin nket over her shoulders, thinking she was cold.
Are you really okay? She asked, her eyes filled with concern.
Yes. Im fine. Im sorry for making you worry.
Thats good to hear. Your child and your safety are more important than anything else in this world.
Why?
Was it because of her imminent childbirth?
The princess carefully expressed her doubts, which she had been carrying all this time.
She was a princess of a ruined kingdom, and her son was its grandson.
She still didnt know whether it would be a boy or a girl, but she was certain a miserable life awaited it.
If so, then wouldnt it be better for her tomit suicide with her child?
On that day, even if Heavenly luck allowed them to escape from the empires pursuit, they would be caught and killed sooner orter.
Her pregnancy was daunting as it was already, considering she had never done any hard physicalbor before.
If not for Hippolia staying by her side, she wouldnt have been able to endure this far.
Listen. Your child will change the world.
Your words give me strength.
Im serious. Dont you believe me?
No! Absolutely not! Thats not what always happens!
I apologize for stepping over my boundary.
You didnt cause any problems, so raise your head already.
Okay
A few days after, her fated delivery finally happened.
Wah
Despite the extremely dire circumstances and poor environment, her child was born miraculously healthy.
But the princess, unable to bear her childbirth, died.
And was reincarnated as a demon.
Congrattions on being born again. Are you alright?
Miss Hippolia!
Before anything else, you need to wear something first.
No, more importantly, my baby Oh!
She couldnt understand how it was possible, but her baby was already standing on his own two feet as soon as he was born.
I think you need to cut your umbilical cord so we can move immediately, master. Ill provide all the information you need on the way. Things arent going quite well for us
Wah.
Ah Arent you so cute?
Her sister-inw, passionately obsessed with her child, put them in no position to converse.
Smooch!
I dont even know what happened after the big explosion. When I woke up, all I was aware of, though vaguely, was that you were in the womb of the girl in front of me. Ah, if Im interfering with your fun meal, I can just discuss all the details with you once youre done, master.
Wah.
Yes. She was the princess of that alliance. In return for military assistance, she married the king of their kingdoms neighboring country and became pregnant with you. However, after suffering a tremendous defeat, their nation was obliterated until none of it were left but her. Forced into exile, she began her escape from the grasps of the new empire Master? Oh! Sleep well.
Ahh
The newborn baby fell asleep while drinking milk from the princesss breast.
Hippolias gaze turned to her.
Thanks to your hard work, this world is now saved.
Huh?
At that point, she was still unaware that her son would overthrow the new empire and be the first emperor to unify the Northern Continent at the age of three.
But that wasnt the point.
At the time, Hippolias words, this world, had a far greater meaning that she only became aware of now.
Whats on your mind?
Ah! Miss Hippolia.
Despite being busy with public affairs, she still took the time to y tennis with her.
She didnt know what to say.
I was right, wasnt I? She asked with a smile.
You can read my thoughts so easily.
Thats only because I think about the same thing every day.
Well Youre not wrong. I feel like I really did give birth to an amazing baby.
Whew! Lets have another match! Dont you think its quite embarrassing to end our session with a loss?
Yes, Miss Hippolia!
Taang
Fantasy 8s Mon Shrine in the Northern Continent.
This was where the woman who gave birth to the cutest emperor in the world lived.
Chapter 430 - [Extra] I Miss You, Mother!
Chapter 430 - [Extra] I Miss You, Mother!
-Theres been a massive alien airstrike in southwest Africa. The federal government dispatched several senior mercenaries but failed to prevent civilian casualties
beep-
The woman turned off the TV, which repeated simr news every day like a parrot, with the remote control and shouted while lying on the sofa.
Son!
Yes?
Nothing.
Okay.
He grumbled out of sight. Since her first child had disappeared without a word, she grew a habit of calling her second every now and then.
Of course, she now knew where he was wandering.
Fantasy.
He lived like a king in a world where he didnt need to study.
Did I upset him?
Considering most missing persons returned within three years, yet he still didnt, even though more than ten years had already passed, he certainly had a problem.
Was he ipetent?
She didnt raise him like that.
In other words, there was no way he failed to defeat the Demon Lord. If so, then the only logical conclusion was that he didnt want to return home.
Ding- dong-
Someone rang the doorbell.
Aside from frequently checking if her second child was still around, she also refrained from tasking him to answer the front door.
He had to study, after all!
Honey!
Cooking.
Huh
Her husband, wearing her apron, sent a brief rejection from the kitchen.
Reluctantly, she stood up from the sofa.
Whos there?
An answer came through the front door.
Im here to hand out some canned carrots today.
Ah! Coach.
He taught her the right way to y tennis.
It wasnt that she hadnt yed before, but she had improved a lot since learning from him, whom she met through her tennis club.
His hobby was carrot farming.
It often seemed like his profession, but his tennis skills were great enough for her to believe him if he were to say he was part of the national team.
Come in!
No, its fine. I just stopped by to hand out carrots See you on the tennis court on Tuesday.
I see. If youre busy, then it cant be helped.
Are you worried about your missing first child?
Not really. Its just Does he refuse toe back because I did something wrong? This thought keeps running around.
I dont think thats the case.
Thank you.
Im not trying to console you but telling the truth. I can tell that much just by looking at your innocent tennis racket swings.
Hoho! How I wish raising a child is as refreshing as a tennis match.
Hes probably runningte due to unavoidable circumstances. So, dont worry too much. Eat these carrots to cheer you up.
Thank you as always, coach.
Bye, now.
Creak
Not long ago, he looked like a mercenary who had juste from a fierce battlefield riddled with missiles and bullets, but he had a deep soul.
As she thought so, she took the box of carrots and headed to the kitchen.
Tap tap tap.
Her husband, chopping through ingredients with a kitchen knife, nced over at her.
Carrots again?
Yes.
At this point, I might surpass my 20-20 vision
Is there anything I can do to help you?
No.
Dont be like that
I know my wifes cooking skills are no less than that of a first-ss chef, but I would be very grateful if you leave this to me so you can rest in the living room.
You sound strange.
Thats just your imagination.
Hmm Fine.
She quietly walked out of the kitchen without hesitation.
As he said, her cooking skills were exceptional, but she often slipped and made mistakes.
I can try stir-frying the carrots I just received, but we dont have enough oil. Go to the supermarket and buy some.
Okay!
Very bored, she eagerly epted the assignment her husband had given her.
And as a bonus
Are you busy studying, son?
She called her second child, who was locked up in a dark room.
Even if youre busy, you have to follow along.
If it bothers you, you dont have toe along. Im fine. From now on, Ill also y tennis by myself.
Please let me follow you
Okay!
Since he asked so sincerely, she decided she couldnt just leave him behind. Grabbing his hand, she took him to the supermarket with her!
*****
Um Should I buy peri oil?
Its not that I dont know the deeper meaning behind your intentions, mom, but I think there might be a reason why dad specifically said he needed sesame oil
Youre too naive, son. Im a bit disappointed.
Well, thats why I got you, mom.
Of course!
After shopping passionately, they immediately headed home.
At that moment, the cry of the citizens drenched in fear could be heard from all directions.
Its an air raid!
Oh, God!
Run!
Wooooong
A siren wailed a beatter, and the city that had been peaceful until now was instantly engulfed in chaos.
After ten years of warfare, one would think theyd already be used to their new reality, but few people would be able to calm down when their lives were at stake.
Of course, not everyone hated alien invasions.
Citizens! Please rest easy! Narotto, the Hero of Shinan, has arrived!
I, Hanwoo, the jet-ck Hero, is also here!
Leave this to Fiora, the Hero dispatched by Factoria!
Unlike the civilians, the Heroes were eagerly waiting for alien invasions to ur.
They shouted their names diligently to promote themselves and charged at the androids ran by the extraterrestrial beings.
Bang! Boom! Pow!
Asphalt roads were destroyed, and concrete buildings that had been intact until now crumbled into ruins.
Go away! I was here first!
What? Did you call dibs, though?
The first person toe is Imja!
They generously exerted their powers to restore world peace.
But that was just an excuse.
It was quite rare for them to have a chance to freely use their Fantasy-given skills, considering they were closely monitored and restricted byw.
On average, they could only use it once every ten days, which frustrated them since they could use it as frequently as they breathed in Fantasy.
As a result
Boom!
Aaaahhhh!
Crack!
Oversuppression.
The aliens, whose purpose was to upy the, not destroy it, only focused on politicians, military facilities, and transportation hubs.
For them, power was just a means to an end.
It wasnt because they couldnt use it like Earths Heroes.
We need to get out of here before we get caught up in it, mom.
I will protect my son!
You dont have to
Since alien invasions had be amon urrence, shelters and bunkers had changed a lot.
They wasted the peoples taxes in the past, but they boasted practicality in their own way now.
The same went for the citizens.
Until ten years ago, most people didnt even know the shelters existences in their vicinities, let alone their locations, but now even a 5-year-old child was aware of them.
Bang!
Boom!
Theyd be caught up in the war and die otherwise.
But even if they knew where such havens were, people could still die if they were unlucky.
Unless they had the Demon Lord working for them.
Blocked it.
What?
Cough cough! Oh, nothing. Lets go to the shelter, Mom!
Okay.
Humanoids with ck wings appeared behind the two as they ran hand-in-hand.
Crack!
ng!
Though he pretended to be an ordinary civilian, he destroyed the android, made with materials harder than steel, with his bare hands.
He wasnt even worried about the surveince cameras everywhere since the one who managed them was also his aplice.
What are you going to do with that tennis racket, mom? No, where did that evene from?
Im going to use it to protect my son!
Sure, but where did you get
About to be dragged away by his mother, he abruptly stopped midsentence and kept his mouth shut when he found a man in an anachronistic attire blocking his way.
Cosy?
That couldve been the case ten years ago, but not now.
Im the prince
Move!
How dare a pathetic female of a sr system about to be colonized order me Kuek?!
Boooowiiiing!
He was immediately sent flying by her tennis racket, however.
Come on, son! Theres no time to deal with psychopaths like that guy!
What?
Lets go to the shelter now!
I dont think we even need to at this point no, okay. Lets go!
Dont worry! I will protect you at all costs!
To reassure her terrified son, she smiled brightly.
But it had no effect.
Instead, his fear only seemed to grow, considering he now remained silent until they reached the shelter.
However, by the time they did
-Citizens! The Heroes have defeated the aliens! Rescue teams will be dispatched soon, so if you see any missing family members, please do not seek them out! Report them immediately to the authorities instead!
Themotion had already ended.
Hey, mom?
What is it?
Where did you put the tennis racket that smashed the Psychopaths head a while ago?
I threw it away since I just picked it up along the way.
Why?
Nothing. Hahaha
The two returned home with the oil they bought at the supermarket.
*****
So thats what happened. Are you hurt anywhere?
Um Pride? My husband scolded me for mistaking peri oil for sesame oil.
Im d you werent hurt.
You look fine as well.
Meeting a college junior for the first time in a long while, she immediately told her her most recent experience.
Although the two treated each other as junior and senior, they were of the same age and hadpletely different majors.
She majored in Physical Education.
Her junior majored in Education.
Nevertheless, the twos rtionship became so close it transcended time and space since they were in the same university club.
You look like you didnt grow older at all.
Fufu! Do I? Ive been taking supplements proven to be great for my bodytely. You dont look much different from when we were still in college, either. Do we take the same medicine?
I um Ive always been told I look young since before.
Are you married now?
Ah, not yet
Thats a shame! If my first son hadnt gone missing, I would have introduced him to you.
Theres no need to.
Oh, do you already have a boyfriend?
Yes She replied shyly while fiddling with her coffee mug, which caused her eyes to widen.
Are you still looking for the boy you met briefly during our field trip?
Oh! Oh! Youre such an amazing and pure person. Im envious. If my husband hadnt gotten down on his knees and begged, I wouldve been chasing after love like you.
You married the right guy, senior. Where else can you find such a handsome man?
The only person that thinks my husband, who looks like a murderer, is handsome is you. Youll be surprised by how many times he was taken to the police station during our honeymoon.
To protect a beauty like you, a man needs to be strong and reliable~
Haha the more I think about it, the sadder it gets. My first boyfriend ended up being my husband.
You should be happy.
Youre really thick-headed, arent you?
The two beauties conversed until the sun began to set, at which point her junior stood up.
I should get going.
Youre leaving early today. Oh! Do you still have a student to teach?
Yes.
What a really bad school! I cant believe theyre letting my beautiful and wonderful daughter-inw rot in there as a teacher!
Haha Your words give me strength, but its okay. Im in charge of a really cool student~
Handsome?
Yes.
That must mean hes incredibly ugly. My juniors taste in men is really strange, after all.
Whats wrong?
I dont think thats something a senior who married a slim man should say. Youre so full of yourself.
Oh, my! Did I upset you?
Im going! Hmph!
Whew! Okay, see you next time!
The two beauties who unintentionally raised the sales of the cafe they visited went their own ways.
And what would happen from there
???A certain innocent goddess who is too naive is looking at a scene with interest.???
???A certain restless demonic god is hoping for quick progress.???
Only the gods would know.
Chapter 431 - [Extra] Kaisa Kureil (1)
Chapter 431 - [Extra] Kaisa Kureil (1)
I know youve been close to the princess since you two were young,dy Kaisa, but regret alone wont help you move forward.
Unable to fulfill her duty to protect her as an escort knight, the princess sumbed to death.
Though she married a long-standing ally to face the rapidly growing new empire, the princess still expected they would someday separate. Little did she know it would be the reason behind why the Sword Princess would have to bid her farewell forever.
Still, she couldnt help but wonder about who was to me.
Her ally that had beenpletely destroyed? The aristocrats of the princesss home country? Or politics in general?
To her, all of them seemed like the right answer.
Dont me yourself. You did your best, didnt you? You even reached out to the political and social circles you tried your hardest to stay away from to save her. If she were still with us, Im sure shed thank you for all that youve done.
Sir Lolikun
Yes?
Thank you as always.
Dont mention it.
Sir Lolikun, the current head of the family of knights that had been serving the Kureil family for generations.
What she found embarrassing was that he cared about her more than his granddaughter. Other than that, he was a great example of a knight.
Now retired from the frontlines, he focused on nurturing the students of their territorys Knights Academy instead.
Speaking of which,dy Kaisa
Yes?
I heard you took your jacket off and trained with the knights again, but Was it just a rumor?
Please be more self-aware, mdy! You are Kaisa Kureil, heir to the throne of your father. Such acts mightve been fine when you were younger, but now that youve matured splendidly, you need to be more proper.
Because of marriage?
Thats right.
The old vassal answered honestly and without hesitation.
Marriage.
A concept that still felt too farfetched.
However, after attending the princesss wedding, she realized it was a reality, a fate she would soon have to face.
Unable to forget her mother, who died while giving birth to her, her father decided not to remarry.
Hence, she was left with the responsibility of carrying their bloodline forward.
If she were to refuse to marry and have children, their family and territorys long history and tradition would end with her.
Mdy?
Yes. I know.
Her friend, before she got married, once said they shouldnt be selfish.
By forming a blood alliance with their long-time ally and bringing peace and order to their people, she wouldve fulfilled her duty as a princess.
And now that she had be a queen, her goal wouldve been to raise her child to be the next ruler of their territory.
That was where she failed, however. She couldnt even achieve the one dream she had for herself.
As for Kaisa
The Duke is still fully capable of leading, but he wants a son-inw and a grandson as soon as possible.
A son-inw
She was living in delight, knowing full well she didnt have to leave her family and estate where she was born and raised, eliminating the need to say goodbye to her people.
Yes.
A man would just be added like a pillow to the bed where she always slept alone.
The Duke is looking for someone suitable for the youngdy. After watching and observing you grow from birth, I can safely say theres no such person in Fantasy.
Sir Lolikun always holds me in high regard.
Hahaha! Every time I see you, I remember you calling me uncle Lori when you were still a child. Time truly is fleeting.
I dont think it was Lori Regardless, youre right. Ive gotten older as well.
Marriage was no longer someone elses problem.
What should I do?
She didnt think much of it before her friend died, simply equating men to a pillow. Now, however, she felt this strong desire to disallow any of them from entering her life.
Dont worry too much. Even your father cant find anyone worthy of you. And I wont allow anyone unworthy from courting you!
Hmm
Duchy of Kureil.
It was the only family to prosper through swordsmanship in the Northern Continent, where magic was developed and flourished.
Using the knowledge left behind by an ancient Hero, they created a swordsmanship style capable of mass destruction that surpassed magic.
As its creator, the Kureil family held the same prestige and power as the royal family, ultimately freeing her from political marriages.
Just because she was free from it didnt mean she shouldnt get married at all, however.
Honestly speaking, she was afraid.
If her mother was alive, would she have understood her heart?
If you find someone to your liking, please tell the Duke or me immediately.
There cant be such a guy Ah!
Her friend once said that alliances and political marriages were decided by the highest-ranking members of the parties involved. However, it would still be up to the actual persons choice to ept this graciously.
Her mothend, her people
Shouldnt she use this marriage for their sake?
No way! Do you really have a guy in mind?
Thats not it.
If she had, she wouldve married him right away.
She was born as the daughter of the Duke of Kureil, after all. She could get whatever she wanted when she wanted it.
Now, as her friend did, she decided to give back a little bit to those who always granted her wishes.
Military, honor, authority, wealth
There was only one more thing she thought their territory needed, whichcked virtually nothing.
Elite knights.
The powerful golems of the new empire had sturdy armor, preventing regr soldiers from damaging them no matter how many there were.
That ultimately caused the alliances destruction, which was equal in power to the Kaisa estate.
Known as the Sword Princess, she was one of the only two reasons her home country was still safe, the other being the Great Sage of the neighboring estate.
Mdy?
Sir Loli.
Yes?
Help me convince father.
Hmm? What must I do to be of help?
About that
*****
Kaisa decided shed only marry someone stronger than her, who could destroy the golems of the new empire alone.
In doing so, shed ensure her home country and the territory would be safer.
Love?
She still didnt know what it was.
Sir Loli. Whos the man that just won the tournaments semi-finals?
A strong, savage beast from the Central Continent.
Kang Han Soo Thats an unusual name.
It had been three years since she started looking for a husband.
At some point, she began spending her daily life secretly watching mens matches she wasnt interested in to criticize them.
Using a magic tool to determine his character, it showed me nothing but the purest white.
Pure white?
Yes. The sacred quality only popes and saintesses were supposed to have.
Hmm
Does it bother you?
No. She answered frankly, but on the contrary, his existence bothered her a lot.
She just found him too handsome.
His face, behavior, and presence could make even Snow Queen Elsh, the Northern Continents Great Disaster herself, tremble, yet she couldnt seem to get tired of him no matter how long and how many times she looked at him.
Paired with the aggressiveness and finesse of his sweat-covered, heated muscles
She could tell he wasnt like any of the run-of-the-mill jerks she had met so far.
Haha! Dont worry too much. No matter who wins, theyre nothing against Lady Kaisa.
Im not worried.
Sir Lolikun seemed to have thought she held this tournament because she didnt want to get married.
Even so, she didnt say anything.
He wasnt alone in his delusion.
The rumors spreading about her werent ideal, but she didnt owe anyone an exnation.
She had defeated tons of suitors over the past three years.
This time wouldnt be any different.
Where are you going?
Inspection.
Hmm. No one in the Northern Continent can harm you, but even so, please dont let your guard down.
I wont.
With the hood pressed deep, she wandered around their estate.
Kureil Tournament.
It wasnt really her intention, but due to this tournament, where she was offered as a prize, the growth rate of their territory had nearly tripled since nobles, royalty, and their attendants stayed in the city and spent money while trying to win over her hand in marriage.
Who do you think would win the tournament?
If you bet on Kang Han Soo now, youll win double! Dont miss this opportunity!
His chance of winning is 50%! Hurry up and try your luck!
Moreover, as spectators flocked from all over the world every time the said tournament was held, their economy grew even more.
Was that the reason why their vassals and her father, who wanted her to get married as soon as possible, had a change of heart?
Do they even care about me?
She really did want to get married, though.
However, seeing their territory in full bloom, her heart melted.
She was at her happiest.
Perhaps the princess epted the political marriage because she felt the same as her right now.
After looking around the rapidly developing estate, she headed to the bar she always went to.
Cling ng~?
To my victory! Cheers!
Thats a bit
I dont want you to marry the Sword Princess
If you dont want to pay for your drinks, cheers!
Gasp! Cheers!
Cheers!
As soon as she opened the old door of the regr bar, loud noises immediately entered her ears.
Since it was located in a remote alley and didnt even have a catchy signboard, it was normally a quiet ce that only natives of the Kureil estate frequented.
But it had a lot of customers today.
That man
Even though he was an outsider, he was leading the bars atmosphere.
A toast! To Kang Han Soo!
Cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers!
A toast! To his victory!
Cheers!
Cheers!
The scene was so tantalizing that Kaisa couldnt help but stand nkly in front of the doorway for a while before moving to the corner where she always sat.
Afterward, she did nothing but watch him.
Hes really handsome.
And it wasnt just his wless SSS-rank appearance that caught her attention.
Her people, who were extremely wary of foreigners due to the threat posed by the new empire, treated him as if they had known him for a long time.
Moreover
He looked even better up close.
She couldnt even find the time to take her hands off Eyer, her magic sword attached to her waist.
Proud citizens of Kureil! Hear the troublesome story of Kang Han Soo! Topensate for the property damage my colleagues havemitted, I ran out of travel funds. I thought I was going to copse from high blood pressure!
Oh, no!
Hahaha!
However, I heard about the tournament being held here. I coveted its prize money quite a bit, but I was even more attracted by the dividends by the betting market! Right before finals, its only doubled, but at the beginning of the elimination rounds, bets are multiplied by thirty-four! Everyone! What if I win tomorrow?
Free drinks for all!
A toast!
Hahaha! Everyone who lives in the Kureil estate is smart and educated! It is as you say! All drinks will be free on that day! Cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers!
Sheughed out loud as she sipped on the fruit juice she always drank at this bar.
Kaisa had met a lot of men participating in her dangerous and deadly tournament to marry her, but this was the first time she had ever seen a snob for its prize money.
Bing her husband would be no different from acquiring the Kureil estate, yet he couldnt care less about her.
Hmm?
So I said a word to the immature princess. She told me to work only as much as I received. How could she say that after the people sweated blood and tears for sixteen years?! Anyway, lets forget everything today and have another round on me!
Hey.
Yes?
They say that princesses who run away from home because they hate arranged marriages are unconditionally bad. Not all men in the world are as handsome as you, right?
Huh?
Ah! Forget what I just said!
She made a mistake.
Her true feelings came out inadvertently.
Though she hurriedly turned her head away and pulled her hood even lower, it was already toote.
Plop.
He sat next to her.
Do you know how many people died and became unhappy because the princess abandoned her work, mysteriousdy?
About 60,000 people died, and 30,000 became widows.
Oh
I was kidnapped to thisnd to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
Kidnapped?
Yes. Anyway, that fruit wine smells really good. I dont think I saw it on the menu. Well, waitress! Ill have the same drink as thisdy here!
That was how she met the man who took her body and soul.
Chapter 432 - [Extra] Kaisa Kureil (2)
Chapter 432 - [Extra] Kaisa Kureil (2)
Behold! The beloved daughter of Duke Kureil, the Northern Continents epitome of beauty, the yer of 954 ogres, the Order of the ck Roses Head, one of the three strongest knights of the Northern Continent, Guardian of the eastern part of the Northern Continents, Commander of the Eastern Legion, Deputy Commander of the Northern Legion, Guardian of Kureil Estate, Master of Eyer the Magic Sword, the Ice Troll yer, the Thorny ck Rose! Countess Kaisa Kureil!
Woah!
Countess!
Cheers!
Did someone just shout cheers?!
I love you, Countess!
Although she unintentionally drank too muchst night, her body and mind felt miraculously fresh.
That much was expected. After all, he was right in front of her!
Kang Han Soo
He was so handsome that she couldnt even take her hand off her Magic Sword Eyer, even though she knew he was harmless.
Thump thump!
Since meeting him at the bar she frequentedst night, her heart began racing like crazy every time she thought of him.
What was he thinking?
What did he think of her?
Right in the center of the Colosseum, he stood majestically tall.
Money, money, money Han Soo chanted endlessly.
She understood him, though, since he did mention he was struggling financially due to his travel funds being depleted to pay for his colleagues property damages.
He had quite the unfortunate past, but she had no intention of letting him win, considering her life andnd were at stake.
After his boring introduction was over, their battle finally began in earnest.
Pop!
Silently, he charged at her.
A surprise attack
Despite her reputation as the Sword Princess, many people gave up their initiative to be on the offensive simply because she was a woman. However, the man before her showed no such consideration.
Normally she would feel delighted, but the fact that he didnt acknowledge her as a female saddened her and broke her pride.
Swoosh!
Using that resentment as her fuel, she decided to deal with him with all her heart, not as a woman but as a knight.
Huh?
Hmm?
Last night?
Did you just notice that now?
It seemed he realized her identity a tad toote since he only saw her as a source of money before their fight.
The girl with a bad drinking habit?
Youre mistaken!
It seemed he hadnt noticed yet.
What did he even mean by a bad drinking habit?
She just took off her coat when her body heated up due to the alcoholst night!
Before she went back home, she put it back on neatly and left nothing behind.
To battle his injustice, Kaisa used the familys swordsmanship to the best of her abilities.
Pang!
Dark blue energy that could prate through magic wrapped around her weapons de.
The time hade to get rid of him!
Yaah!
Sheunched an attack so powerful it could annihte a battalion of knights or destroy the new empires gigantic golems.
Unlike her father, who couldnt master their familys style, she had enough talent to fully utilize its power as naturally as breathing.
This!
Bang!
Her techniques, reaching far and wide in all directions, left no room for evasion.
It was due to this power of hers that she was given the title of Sword Princess and was able to protect her homnd and territory from the new empires invasion.
However, she couldnt use it to protect her dear friend
Kang Han Soo, swept away by her offensive, was covered by the dust clouds it created.
Did I overdo it?
He was just a mercenary who crossed over from the Central Continent, a ce with a low average level.
Considering he reached the tournaments finals, he couldnt bebeled as weak, but in the world of truly powerful beings
sh.
Following her spontaneous intuitions orders, she turned to the side without hesitation just as a dagger brushed past where she was standing.
It was aimed at her bare skin, exposed due to her armors design that mixed the design of an elegant dress and a knights sturdy armor. Ultimately, her father and Sir Lolikuns strong arguments created a potentially fatal weakness in her defenses.
With his lips firmly closed, he charged at her again in silence.
His weapons condition deteriorated after he used it to block her attack, but it didnt seem to break his will to fight.
Youre pretty good
He wasnt just a handsome savage.
Her heart started beating like crazy again, preventing her from concentrating on the battle.
She knew she shouldnt act like this in the middle ofbat, though.
Hence, Kaisa swung her sword again.
Bang!
Considering there had only ever been a few times when sheunched more than a single strike against those who challenged her for marriage and not even the soldiers of the new empire could withstand her offensive, a desire to learn more about his skills grew within her.
Oh!
Evaluating him, she noticed how he proficiently shed against her even though he was using an ordinary iron sword against her Eyer, a Magic Sword specifically created to handle her skills.
Moreover, as if reading her thoughts, he continued blocking her attacks.
No matter how broken his weapon became, he continued to defend wlessly, relying only on his abilities and finesse.
Ha!
Kang Han Soo charged again with a strong warcry.
This was the second time he had pushed back against her.
However, considering she had rendered his de unusable, she saw this move of his as his final struggle.
Goodbye.
Bang!
Kaisa released her third strike, an attack aimed to end his life.
After all, she had no intention of wasting the battle where she put her life at stake.
She knew appearances were important in choosing her husband. However, she would never allow him to own her body and soul unless he was stronger than her.
Its so monotonous!
With that shout, he threw his broken armament at her.
Did he want to die?!
He just threw away his sword, a swordsmans lifeline.
However, as soon as he bent down, he grabbed a new sword, which seemed to have sprung up from the ground.
4D storage magic?
Whatever it was, he narrowly blocked her third strike with his new de.
Amazing.
She had never swung her sword more than four times in a row other than in wars and when monster hunting!
She released her fourth technique when he tried to approach her, but he bowed again.
You have another?
He unsheathed yet another sword seemingly out of nowhere before sprinting towards her, cutting through her technique head-on.
Kang!
Their des collided for the first time, leaving her no choice but to acknowledge his skills for being able to block her attacks four times before decorating the end of their battle with a true swordfight.
As expected.
The corners of his lips rose.
Ah
Thats cheating! Such a wonderful smile in this situation
Your swordsmanship is definitely powerful, but its only ranked B. Despite your abilities, your actual skill is second-rate.
His subsequent words cooled her head off as if cold water had been poured on her, however.
As he said, her swordsmanship was ranked B.
But she was the only person in the world who knew that.
How did he know?
32 times. Youre mine.
Are you talking about money again in this situation?!
Sincest night, he had been excited about this tournaments high rewards, but he seemed more delighted right now, almost as if telling her he had already won.
Of course, she understood why.
ng! ng! ng!
Fast. Strong. Brave.
She didnt know what his swordsmanships rank was, but he was easily overwhelming her.
If it were to keep going like this, shed lose.
Defeat.
A concept that seemed so far away from her.
Now, however, a sense of realization enveloped her as she remembered a marriage she thought wouldst forever.
Amid their sh, she swiftly backed away using one of her sword styles techniques called footwork, which enabled her to move so quickly it wasparable to that of wizards teleportation magic.
Hmm
His confident expression hardened for the first time.
His swordsmanship overwhelmed her, but she could render it useless by using her excellent mobility to prevent him from catching up to her.
Im sorry.
She kept her distance from the strong beast and fired ranged attacks endlessly.
5th, 7th, 9th, 10th
He just kept getting new swords to block her iing barrages with.
Did you bury swords in here before our battle began?
The guards shouldve noticed.
me the alcohol, not them.
Ah
She finally understood why he kept shouting Cheers! at the bar.
He had all the guards dancing on his palm that night.
Since he had gotten close to them, he made such tricks possible.
Of course, no one had ever used such a technique. After all, the royals and nobles aiming for her loathed talking withmoners.
She couldnt even imagine them putting their arms around the guards shoulders in a bar.
I would usually give up at this point and look for a different opportunity, but I cant do that. My colleagues bet their fortunes on my defeat, after all.
Is that so?
Were this handsome mans colleagues all demons?
ording to what she heard at the barst night, his colleagues were the worst viins in the world.
But to win, Ill need to use a little trick.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
With his deration, he revealed an entirely different power from his swordsmanship.
Spirits
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
The spirits of all five attributes gathered around him simultaneously, even though making them appear was already hard for most.
Was he really human?
Lets go again, Kaisa Kureil.
As you wish!
The legendary Hero defeated her without even using a Holy Sword or any weapon for that matter.
***
Are you already leaving after getting paid?
Yes, Kaisa Kureil.
Was this karma?
After rejecting so many courters, she was rejected by the very first man to dominate her mind and body.
Why? What do you not like about me?
She didnt know what love was.
Until now.
Is this how the men who begged me to marry them even after losing the tournament felt?
She couldnt ignore the gazes of other people either.
After being defeated in front of arge crowd, it shouldve been certain that shed be his wife.
But what if she were to get dumped?
Rumors about something being wrong with her as a woman would circte.
Nothing. You are the strongest and most beautiful woman Ive ever seen in Fantasy.
Does that mean my personalitys the problem?
Thats not it either. I had quite a lot of fun with you at the barst night.
I had a lot of funst night too Ah, anyway! If its not my personality, then whats wrong with me?
She was growing frustrated.
Born into the noble family that was on equal grounds with the royal family, there was nothing in existence that she couldnt gain if she wanted it.
Hence, this situation felt alienating to her.
I need to return to the arms of my family. Thats why I cant be your fathers son-inw.
Kang Han Soo was a Hero from another dimension.
After defeating the resurrected Demon King Pedonar in the Central Continent, his goal is to return to his beloved family.
Unlike royals and nobles who killed their brothers and parents in a power struggle, he truly loved his family.
At that moment, he hadpletely stolen her heart.
I like that.
Thank you so much for your understanding, miss Kaisa Kureil. To take responsibility, Ill be sure to exin it to everyone. That should avoid rumors circting. Should I tell them Im a defect? Hahaha!
You dont have to do any of that.
What?
I will follow you. I dont want this to end in my defeat.
That cant be
Just agree with her!
I like that decision.
Wee, Sword Princess!
Wee.
Kang Han Soos colleagues ignored his objection.
Youll see.
She joined the long adventure of the man she fell in love with, imagining a happy future.
At the time, she really didnt know anything.
Chapter 433 - [Extra] Kaisa Kureil (3)
Chapter 433 - [Extra] Kaisa Kureil (3)
As an only child, she steadily received education revolving around throne session since childhood.
Looking back now, it was really useless knowledge.
The political position of Kureil, the family of the most influential nobles and royals in the Northern Continent, basic manners and etiquettes in social gatherings, facial expression management
Most of the lessons she received taught her how to deal with outsiders, not the territory itself.
It was no different here.
Those people are suffering, but you want us to ignore them and just pass by? How can you still call yourself a Hero!
Thats right! Righteous Heroes should help those in need!
Lanuvel thinks so too!
Dont you feel bad for the people of this city who suffer from their ipetent lords harsh taxes?
Han Soo, the Hero, quarreled with hisrades every single day.
He paused for a while from his morning exercise, which he also did daily, and answered calmly.
Again, this is a political matter. It isnt something I, summoned to defeat the Demon Lord, can resolve through diplomacy. If the lord here is really wrong, the king of this country should be the one to administer a solution. Moreover, my duty is to return home as soon as possible and take care of my parents.
That was his perspective on the matter.
Whenever nobles made mistakes, the monarch had to be the one to punish them, and when the monarch made a mistake, the nobles had to unite and fight against them.
Kings and nobles.
By achieving the perfect bnce between the two, the state could be managed and ruled efficiently.
But what if external forces such as neighboring countries intervened?
Divisions would arise as they devoured the countrys blood and flesh, demanding a price for their help.
The Heros party was no different.
Im disappointed in you, Hero.
I am as well.
I cant believe youre supposed to be our Hero
Lanuvel is also disappointed!
Expressing their discontent, hispanions rushed out of the inn, led by the cute archaeologist Lanuvel.
Unable to stop them, Kang Han Soo only frowned and sighed.
I cant believe this is going to happen again
Staring nkly at his face, which made even the Dragon King he subjugated just a few days ago flinch, the Sword Princess was startled by his gaze.
Whats wrong?
Arent you going with them?
Im the supposed heir of Duke Kureil. I know that interfering in political problems will only make things worse.
I see.
The Hero nodded as if he understood and began to wipe his sweaty upper body with a towel.
It had countless scars decorating it like trophies
The sight was far too fiery for him!
His forearms and chests were exceedingly impressive, and she couldnt help but want to be hugged tight enough in them to be crushed.
After defeating her, he surpassed her after just a year and was already moving even further away from her.
Both in terms of body and mind.
He saw her only as one of his colleagues, not as a woman.
Do you have anything to say?
Why are you going out alone in the night?
Im a ve to desire.
Ah, I see.
She knew what he meant.
This Hero always secretly helped.
Although there were days when he truly satisfied his desires, he attached greater importance to convenience.
While he ignored those who did nothing butin, he also helped some.
However, good faith and consideration didnt always lead to good results.
That was why he was always on the lookout for this.
Im not a god, Kaisa Kureil.
Youre a human?
Yeah. Thats why I cant help everyone. Im just a human with a little more ability than others. Even I have a lot of much greater friends in my hometown.
Youre humble.
Im just being honest.
Either way, its not easy to humble oneself. Take me as an example. I believe my swordsmanship is the best in the world.
Its true, though. You and Sage have the highest attack power in our party.
Hmm? Did I say something wrong?
Not really, no.
She was worried hed never see her as a woman.
***
Little by little, her worries piled up until they finally exploded.
If the Heros adventures continued at this rate, she feared shed never be able to get married and instead would only end up getting old.
Hence, today, she decided to try something a little bolder.
Im sure theyll be back soon
Kang Han Soo, whose handsomeness was no different than a cheat, trained at dawn without skipping a day.
And they were currently the only ones in this inn, equipped with an open-air bath that only hed be using at such an ungodly hour.
In other words, before her was a rare opportunity that might nevere again.
Slip.
She bravely took her clothes off in the mens locker room.
Although her body wasnt like Lanuvels or Aquas, whose physiques were naturally petite and required no maintenance, she maintained her form to this day through diet and training.
Even more so in the recent days since she wanted to look good for the man right in front of her.
What?
As expected, the powerful Hero came into the locker room on time and found her naked.
Thump thump!
Her heart was beating like crazy.
She felt like she was going to die of shame!
On the contrary, he remained unfazed.
ncing at her, she spoke in a calm tone.
This is the mens locker room
Oh my god! Die!
Kaisa swung Eyer at him, who treated her like an idiot that couldnt even tell the difference between male and female locker rooms.
There had to be a limit to his insensitivity!
She brought her weapon for self-defense just in case Kang Han Soo demanded too much of her body, but she used it in the exact opposite way.
Bang!
Wooosh!
Crack!
In an instant, she destroyed the entire room they were in out of sheer anger and shame.
That was a mistake she never wouldve made if only she kept true to herself.
Ah
Was it because she was embarrassed for showing her defenseless, naked body to the man he had a crush on?
Was she mad at her for not being okay with suddenly witnessing her bare physique?
Or was it just her desire to make him see her as a woman?
Whatever the reason behind them, her actions were bound to have undesirable consequences.
Youre insane!
He only ever shouted in such a way when he was enraged by his ruthless colleagues.
And it had never been directed to her.
A ruined inn.
Han Soos vignt gaze.
She already knew what he was thinking.
Youre an idiot
Cling-ng.
Magic Sword Eyer, which had always been by her waist or in her hand, slipped out of her grasp.
Huge inn repair costs.
Knowing full well it was her mistake, she tried to fix it, but
This is the Heros fault!
How dare you look at a womans naked body!
Youre so careless.
Lanuvel totally agrees with them!
The Hero must take responsibility.
Kang Han Soo generously donated the money he recently earned from hunting evil dragons.
Its reconstruction itself didnt cost that much.
However, the funds needed to repair the vige destroyed by the dragons, the living expenses of the bereaved families, the participation fee of the unhelpful militia, and even the merchant who bought by-products at a low price using their friendship
His profits that remained after all of those expenses were unpretentious, unlike the subjugation of evil dragons.
And he even used what little amount he had left to pay for the reconstruction of the inn, which she destroyed.
Lets go.
Kang Han Soo urged his adventure forward with a gelid tone.
Aspiring to defeat the Demon Lord and return to his home as soon as possible, he didnt waste time ming her for her mistakes, which was yet another indifference towards her.
Are you okay, Sword Princess?
Did he traumatize you?
He might attack you at night, so be careful from now on.
Im d youre safe, Kaisa.
Keep an eye out for that sly Hero!
Her colleaguesforted her, even though she was the one who showed her bare body to him.
And without a word, the hero turned his back and went ahead alone.
She had be one of them.
Just another colleague.
Yes, Im okay.
From that day on, her heartpletely died.
Now that nothing shed ever experience would be the worst, she thought everything would be fine.
***
Ten years after her heart broke into pieces, Kang Han Soos extremely long adventure finally began to see its end.
Up to this point, she didnt give up following him steadfastly because of her lingering feelings, regrets, and glimmers of hope.
I can finally see the Demon Lords Castle.
Our journey took quite a while.
And there have been many sacrifices.
Lets not waste this path road opened by Lanuvel and our otherpanions.
If we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat the Demon Lord.
What about the Hero
They lit a bonfire near the fortress and gathered around it, reminiscing and telling stories.
Of course, Kang Han Soo wasnt with them.
He was exploring his sworn enemys territory alone, saying that he shouldnt leave any of his descendants behind.
No one in this ce was concerned about him acting alone.
He was overwhelmingly powerful, after all.
At this point, even if they all worked together, they might not even be able to match him.
To be more honest, she couldnt even imagine Pedonar himself defeating Kang Han Soo.
That was how strong he became.
It had reached the point where he no longer needed her.
Do you still feel the same, Kaisa?
Now that I thought about it, you liked that crooked Hero.
What did you even see in him?
The Elf King, Sage, and Mercenary King turned their attention to her. They were the only ones to survive until the end of this adventure.
It didnt seem like a topic to be discussed right after the demise of Sword King Alex, who had been a huge help to them thus far, but they were already far too used to watching their colleagues die.
Finding no reason for her to hide anything at this point, she answered honestly.
All of him.
His face, which even demons feared.
His love for his family.
His broad political perspective.
His wisdom to foresee the future.
His immense power and talent.
Wouldnt it be more difficult to dislike this man who had all the virtues the perfect king should have?
Except for Sylvia, the human-hating Elf King, she couldnt understand her female colleagues type at all.
She wasnt certain if it was because she was born a noble, but she had had a crush on Kang Han Soo for over seven years now.
Wont he be returning to his home after defeating the Demon Lord?
Its impossible for us to stop him from leaving.
Ill introduce you to an outstanding elf in my name as the Elf King. What do you say?
Sylvias remarks aside, the Mercenary King and Sage were right.
Even with their strengthsbined, theyd never be able to touch him.
His swordsmanship surpassed hers, his strength was beyond that of the Mercenary King and Sword Kingbined, and he was faster than Sages magic. Moreover, the spirits also held him in higher regard than the Elf King and would protect him over her.
Preventing him from going home was impossible.
Perhaps because the Hero wasnt around, Sage uttered something extremely ominous.
Hes so strong that even if the entire human race were to work together, we still wouldnt be able to put up a decent resistance against him. That gap between us will only widen after he defeats the Demon Lord and absorbs his experience and multiplies it by five.
The Mercenary King, who participated as a substitute for the deceased Sword King, argued against him from the perspective of vile yet practical mercenaries.
Hmm. The only time we can defeat Kang Han Soo, who treats evil dragons as snacks, is when hes still exhausted after his fight with Pedonar. After that, therell be no hope for us.
Sylvia intervened.
I hope the Hero disappears sooner rather thanter. When he disappears, the spirits will only follow me, the Elf King!
No.
Kaisa loved him, but she didnt want to deprive him of his happiness for her own sake.
Hed leave her forever, but that didnt mean she spent the past seven years in vain.
She saw the wide world beyond the Northern Continent, made a bunch of new friends, and built up multiplerge and smallworks.
As for marriage
She didnt feel like doing it in the future since she couldnt stop herself fromparing all the men she met to Kang Han Soo.
Even so, she selflessly uttered, I want him to disappear, too.
She prayed that the man she loved would be able to return to his home safely.
Chapter 434 - [Extra] Kaisa Kureil (4)
Chapter 434 - [Extra] Kaisa Kureil (4)
Whoops!
Kaisa couldntprehend what had just happened until she copsed with a sword in her heart.
Their party was supposed to be on their way to defeat Demon Lord Pedonar, but Why did the Hero attack hisrades?
And how could he be that strong
I still dont understand even after ten years have passed. Why did it have to be this way? Fantasy is a welfare center for the disabled, helping the underprivileged, and the cosmic Greenpeace to help the socially mdjusted. He sighed. It wouldnt be surprising if hisintssted a day or two.
Listen carefully. I lived a good life on Earth as a man of culture, enjoying discussions about novels andics with my friends every day. Why am I being treated the same as the losers? Dont you think they made a mistake as well?
He looked down at her coldly.
Did he truly mean to kill his colleagues, whom he had spent at least five years, some even ten years, with?
Youre insane
How can you call the Hero destined to defeat the Demon Lord crazy? Are you out of your mind?
Youre no Hero Cough!
Numerous thoughts ran through her mind.
The people of the Kureil estate waiting for her to return.
The chances of her family being driven to extinction upon the death of their only daughter.
How her unrequited love went the wrong way at some point in their travels
Is that the end of your will?
She wanted to clear all the misunderstandings between them.
However, with her life swiftly escaping her, she had grown far too weak for her lips to let her words escape.
Perhaps if she were given another chance
*****
Princess! Im d youre safe!
It was shabby, the beginning of the Emperors founding story that overthrew the new empire, which used golden golems as its frightening military force.
Its definitely great to see you again, Kaisa. Come on, look! This is my baby. Hes really cute, isnt he?
Yes.
Strangely enough, rather than being cute, he exuded the presence of a king from his baby fats.
Going down to one knee, she made a promise to her friend and her child.
I swear allegiance.
The princess hailed from the royal family of her country.
And her offspring, who inherited the blood of two royal families, was the perfect justification to peacefully annex their ruined ally.
Unable to move due to her emotions, she couldnt help but feel honored to carry him.
At that point, Kaisa decided to protect the two from now on.
Wah.
How could a newborn baby stand tall on two legs?
Perhaps children of the royal family were simply extraordinary by nature, but
It didnt take long for her to realize how wrong she was.
*****
Unfurling his wings like a cape to destroy Pedonar, the baby walked the path of kings with a Holy Sword in his hands.
Wah!
With one howl, his subjects knelt and bowed down until their foreheads touched the ground.
With his bouncy butt twitching from side to side, he moved forward, finding no obstacles too great to surpass with his might.
Darkness Society, the new empire, the Snow Queen Elsh
Nothing in the Northern Continent could hinder his rise to power.
Wah!
With two howls, his people began to worship him.
Youre so cute, Your Majesty the Great and Powerful Emperor!
Your Majesty is the noblest and cutest person in all of Fantasy!
Long live Your Majesty the Cute Emperor~!
Women will kneel before your cuteness!
The Cute Emperor.
That wasnt what he was called right from the beginning.
However, unlike the opinions of his other subjects, he acknowledged the words of his mother, who didnt know anything about politics and wasnt even interested in it.
Her only happiness and concern were for her child to be loved by her people.
Great.
Wise.
Gant.
Rather than the titles often given to rulers, she wanted him to be praised purely as her baby.
Those who had long been in the world of politics immediately saw through the wishes of their friends at once.
However
Thepliments one could give to a baby were extremely limited.
Hence, as a result
Youre so cute.
Your Majesty is really cute.
Thats right.
Long live the Cute Emperor!
Everyone started praising and worshipping him as such.
Cute Emperor.
Though it didnt perfectly showcase the grace of the Northern Continents ruler, he still epted it since it kept his mother satisfied.
How can you think of such a monster as cute?! Hes nothing but a demon disguised as a baby
Wah.
Those 3333 who rejected him were sentenced to death.
Long live Your Majesty the Cute Emperor! May your cutenessst forever!
Wah.
While those who epted it lived.
In short, none dared oppose his will to keep her mother delighted.
Not long after hearing the rumors about his ascendance, people from other continents began to recognize his cuteness.
Putting down her writing instrument, Kaisa skimmed through the first page of a handwritten book she had been writing for three years.
Theres never been a single peaceful day.
It looked more like a parenting diary that detailed out the growing years of His Majesty than a book about her experiences, however.
Within it was his policies that tended to the Northern Continents distant future, all of which were so filled with wisdom that she had trouble describing them in short phrases.
As his escort, she was always with him, allowing her to watch how he united the Northern Continent under one banner from the very beginning.
Even at this moment
Wah.
She was still guarding His Majesty while he was ying with her chest.
Your Majesty, if you do that
Wah.
Youre right. Babies have an instinct to find a womans breasts, but Your Majesty
Wah.
I know youre also a baby. Even so
She didnt even know how she could understand what he was trying to say, though she thought it was probably due to the way he intonated his wails.
Defenseless and naked at the monarchsmand, she held the ruler of the Northern Continent in her arms.
Still, despite their king-servant rtionship, she knew this far crossed the line.
Wah.
Please dont bite them, Your Majesty
Even though he was the Emperor, he was still just three years old.
Knowing she shouldnt think of him as a man, she let him do whatever he wanted.
Unaware at the time that it would lead to her pregnancy.
After that, she ascended to the position of regent to follow the footsteps of His Majesty the Emperor, who suddenly disappeared, ultimately bing the empress who gave birth to his sessor.
Chris.
*****
How is this possible
Kaisa had never slept with a man, but she had a baby in her belly.
You really didnt?
Yes. I swear.
Duke Kureil, her father, didnt let go of his suspicions and instead insisted she told the truth.
But she wasnt lying in the first ce!
On the same day, she had a strange dream and became pregnant. About a yearter, she gave birth to her first child.
This is quite awkward.
Though joyful that his daughter had given birth safely, his expression was full of concern No.
His smile couldnt be any broader as he held his newborn grandson in his arms.
I know.
However, the royals and nobles of the Northern Continent were very concerned about lineage, considering it had a greater influence on a wizards potential and quality than individual efforts, after all.
Even the Kureil family, filled with knights and swordsmen, couldnt ignore this perception of society and politics.
If it were revealed she gave birth to a fatherless son, she would be condemned repeatedly.
From now on, hes my child.
The Duke solved the problem by taking in his biological grandson as his adopted child.
Likewise, Kaisa lived with her son as if he was her younger brother.
Until she met him again.
This is my victory, Kaisa Kureil.
Ah
Kang Han Soo.
*****
Memory integration was like a terrible nightmare.
After all, she had married countless Heroes since her hand in marriage was the prize of whoever would emerge as the tournaments champion.
Her many clones from different dimensions had made love with numerous men.
Even a child
As her memories merged into one, the process tormented her.
Its hard
Even now, whenever she thought of the past, nausea and a sense of shame came rushing in.
As time passed, her memories faded and her condition improved, but no amount of time could ever erase what she had gone through.
It would continue to haunt her until she ceased to exist.
Such was the severity of wounds inflicted on ones soul.
Whats hard?
Ah
Still, amid her pain, she found her resting ce.
Among the men she didnt want, she also gained the only man she ever truly loved.
Her feelings were one-sided before, but all that mattered was he was in front of her now.
As her husband.
Now, peace came to her whenever she was with Kang Han Soo, the most handsome being she had ever met.
Everythings okay now.
Really?
She couldnt leave herself disorganized even for a day since he always visited her without prior notice.
It wasnt that she didnt like it. She just felt a little sorry for the maids who helped with the preparations.
When Kaisa remembered the underwear she wore today, she boldly jumped into his arms.
What did youe here for today?
You make it sound like I onlye to you when I have business with you.
Ah!
That was a misunderstanding.
Kang Han Soo visited her regrly even when he had no particr reason to do so but to spend time with her.
The only reason she felt the need to ask such a question was that he often arrived in the evening and spent time more leisurely with her on such days.
Its fine.
Smiling, he walked away indifferently.
He was quite a great conversationalist.
Unlike her.
Failing to clear the misunderstanding when she presented herself naked in the locker room in hopes of making him fall for her, he ended up thinking she wanted to kill him instead.
Kaisa Kureil. Dont make the same mistake twice.
Softly and meekly, she replied, Its a misunderstanding
Hmm?
He gazed at her, his expression telling her he didnt expect her to say that.
That alone allowed her to immediately understand what he thought of her until now.
Though she might have acted rashly in the past, Kaisa was determined to change for their future.
Thats not what I meant.
Really?
Kang Han Soo stared at her, his eyes intensity making her heart race uncontrobly. Instinctively, she searched for Magic Sword Eyer, which she had stored away.
At that moment, he grabbed her wandering hand.
What do you mean by misunderstanding? Look into my righteous eyes and tell me.
Ah
She couldnt remember what she said then. The moment his breath brushed against her cheek, she became lightheaded, and her stomach filled up with butterflies.
However, she at least noticed Kang Han Soo started caring for her more from that moment on.
*****
Im d you cleared up the misunderstanding. So, hows your second child?
Ah, I dont have one yet
The day after Kaisa slept with Kang Han Soo, Health Teacher visited her.
She was tormented every time she confronted her since she relentlessly and endlessly interrogated her.
I see. Let me tell you this in advance, at least.
What is it?
The probability of President Kang Han Soo imnting his seed in your uterus is rapidly decreasing.
What do you mean by that?
She asked, forgetting to tell her to refrain from using obscene words.
Thew of nature dictates that the stronger and longer-lived a species is, the lower their birth rate. Thats the reason why the fertility rate of elves and dragons is extremely low.
No way
Sidaels prolonged infancy is also because of that. He inherited the blood of someone who became a perfect god, after all.
Though there wasnt anything wrong with her body, Kaisa couldnt bring herself to feel delighted due to the sudden news.
I thought I should tell you since this might be yourst chance to have a second kid. Health Teacher dered in a serious tone and expression.
This is so sudden.
I feel the same way. Ive never seen a student grow and change so quickly in my thousands of years of life.
How strong did he actually be? She asked quickly, trying to get an answer from her before she leaped out of this dimension once more.
I dont know that either. Im not a god. I cant see the world they live in.
Struck by Health Teachers warnings, Kaisa worked as hard as she could.
Until their second child was born.
Wah~!
A goddess adorable enough to stop her heartbeat
This was a story of a distant future, though.
Chapter 435 - [Extra] Retribution! (1)
Chapter 435 - [Extra] Retribution! (1)
My dear granddaughter Selenis. The day you were born, the entirety of Festival whispered your name.
Hey What about me?
Hehehehe! My dear granddaughter Selvenus. On the day you were born, all the elves whispered your name!
Really?
Elfheim Khan Lanuberk talked nonsense with the twins on hisp.
He was the most respected elf in the world. If so, was it only because they were young that they didnt have any respect for him at all?
Their mother told them their growth rate was phenomenal, like their grandfather did.
Shes right, Selenis. Theres only been a few elves who could already speak by one year old and think like a grown-up at the age of two!
I see
The twins were ten years old this year.
Their grandfather was bluffing, but it was true that they developed faster than their peers, who still stuttered or couldnt even speak.
They also always mentioned someone else.
You have the blood of the greatest Hero in the world, after all!
Dad?
Yes!
His genes could be atavistic.
Their mothers side had a lot more potential than their father, who hadnt even shown up once.
Atavistic genes skipped generations before activatingpletely.
Atavistic? Hehehehehe!
Was it that strange for Selenis to say that word?
For a long time, her grandfather justughed, but she knew he meant nothing bad by it. After all, he was stillbing through her hair softly.
Stopughing, grandpa.
Only through Selvenuss request did he truly stop.
Im sorry, but Im just so delighted that I cant help it! Truth be told, Ive never had grandchildren as brilliant as you two. Since you exhibited no precedence rted to atavism, I think the probability of it activating is very low. Either way, Im at least certain you two are the light of hope that will illuminate the future of the lowly elf race
Grandpas lying.
Right. He is.
Heheheh!
Even though they counterargued, he just kept smiling.
His tendency to defend or glorify their absentee father wasnt much different from their mother.
They should stop treating them like they were three years old.
After reading a book rted to their genes in their grandfathers library, they asked her mother about him.
Mom, mom, mom!
Whats wrong, Selenis?
Their grandpa only told them their dad had a broad heart and was the wisest being to ever exist.
However, unlike him, who always lied to them, their mother would provide the answers they needed.
Elkaterina Lanuberk.
To the elf they loved and admired the most, they asked a question in the guise of innocent children.
What do you like about dad?
Mom?
Ah! Im sorry! I didnt expect such a sudden question Well, I do love a certain part of him Very much so But
Mating.
Youre not wrong, but thats not something kids around your age should say, Selenis. People dont love just for the sake of reproduction. Please keep that in mind.
Huh? Okay!
Good.
As a tradition passed down from long ago, their mother stopped weaving clothes for them and plopped them down on herp.
Just like their grandfather frequently did.
My first impression of the Hero when he freed me from eternal imprisonment was light! Just light Sorry! Its so hard to put the feeling into words! And um Oh! Hes the most handsome man Ive ever seen in my life. Appearance isnt everything for men, but its one of the essentials. Is this topic too mature for my twins to understand?
No.
Not really!
Even their mother, loving their father blindly, didnt offer much help in their mission to gather information about him.
Hero Kang Han Soo.
He saved their grandfather and mother, defeated the evil angels, and was their biological father.
What else were they missing?
I almost forgot. He also defeated Pedonar and is now serving as the Demon Lord.
Arent the Hero and the Demon Lord supposed to be enemies?
Im sorry. I dont know the details either. Why dont you ask your smart grandfather about this?
I dont want to
It would be better to put this topic on hold for the time being.
*****
Selenis thought too much.
Why should they care who their dad was?
Selvenus loved their grandfather and mother, and she liked their neighbors and people. With them, every day was fun.
Wasnt that enough?
She thought the reality in front of her was more important than their father, who had never been there for them.
Like their grandfathers job, for example, which was to run this beautiful city.
Theres been a rise in the disappearance of men, Mayor Elfheim, but the cause behind it remains unknown
I see. Arge number of male humans were killed in the warst year, causing a stir in human society and the economy as a whole. This is really strange, isnt it?
It appears so.
She remembered that, too.
Former Heroes flocked to Festival like measles every 50 years.
It would be great if they immediately left for their homes after the festival, but not everyone did.
Stragglers.
That was the title they decided to call Heroes who left the festival grounds and acted arbitrarily.
As the mayor said,st year, the human military force that stopped the stragglers riots was nearly annihted. We also suffered, but its nothingpared to this years disappearances.
Its not just the stragglers?
Yes. Noebius, the Dragon King, caused numerous casualties when he raided our city out of his sheer hatred for humans and angels. Fortunately, he didnt have any grudges with us. That allowed us to survive.
Are you sure?
What do you mean?
Her grandfather, who was stroking her hair, gave the secretary a clear answer.
To stop him and the strugglers, many humans died. However, their kind at least has a strong desire to reproduce. How do you think we should meet our fundamental shortage of men?
Ah
Abandon one-dimensional approaches like the ve market. The rulers of Festival are the humans, not us. Thats why we need to understand their society and breasts.
Why their breasts?
If you dont get what I mean, just silence yourself.
Ill keep that in mind, sir Elfheim.
Dont worry too much about the safety of those missing. Their races lifespan is short. When the time is right, theyll return one by one with some of their energy drained.
Alright!
His secretary left with a bright expression.
However, as she did, a dark shadow was cast on his face.
Is something wrong, grandpa?
Hmm? Haha! It seems Im just having a hard time today. Our people have been kidnapped, and theres nothing we can do about it. Thinking that someday, Selvenus might be one of the missing persons, I be so worried I cant calm myself down
Huh. Stay strong, grandpa.
Hehehe! Okay, Ill cheer up.
Their race was too weak.
They had no power and were few in numbers.
Unlike male humans, who grew stronger as they got older even if they just breathed, male elves would remain insignificant without extraneous efforts.
The females were in an even worse predicament.
No matter how hard they tried, female elves could never keep up with the charms of a female human.
Their eternal youth was an advantage, but while an elf could give birth to two children every 5,000 years, a human could give birth to 20 in 50.
Instead of the power gap between the two races narrowing down, it only widened every passing day.
Dont worry too much. I know how to survive as the weakest.
Thats pathetic.
Hehehe! Listen carefully, Selvenus and Selenis. No matter how many times I have to get on my knees, if its for the sake of my people, I will not hesitate to beg and plead. My father, the 1st Fairy King, got himself killed by being unable to see that reality, but I promise your future will be much better than that. Their grandfather smiled softly.
He watched the breasts of female humans all day on the terrace of the mayors office. Watching him, Selvenus thought the 2nd Fairy King was right.
The problem was that such urrences were far too rare.
*****
There came a day when the twins felt like their bodies were a little different from the other women of their kind.
On that same day, a human Hero came.
It wasnt their dad, however. They could tell just by listening to the first words he suddenly spoke to his grandfather.
Mayor Elfheim. Give me your daughter and two granddaughters. He spoke politely, but he made it clear he wasnt willing to ept any rejections.
They thought he visited to receive a quest, much like the other Heroes, but his true motives surprised them.
I looked at his abilities.
? Race: High Human
? Level: 5134
? Job: ck Knight (Wife = Universal)
? Skills: Fatality ZZ, Footwork ZZ, Energy Z, Strength Z, Stamina Z
? Status: Overwhelming, Magic Sword, Storage, Enhanced, Blessed
Like White Knight, a female-exclusive profession that made the person stronger the more husbands they had, ck Knight was a male-only upation that increased ones strength proportional to their number of wives.
It wasnt asmon as a regr knight, but it wasnt rare either.
Those who had it often said they were forced to create harems because of it, though.
Before I answer your demands, brave Hero, let me ask you something first. Are you aware that my daughter Elkaterina is a married woman?
Yes. They have beautiful twin daughters.
It sounds like you know everything
Thats right, father-inw.
Hehehe!
Their grandfather clenched his fists and burst intoughter at the reckless Heros remarks.
This wasnt the first time this had happened.
Grandpa greatly underestimated the charms of their mother, but she was so beautiful that men passing by would always follow her with their gazes as she walked past.
Hence, regardless of whether they knew she already had a husband or not, there were still quite a few people who had asked for her hand in marriage.
Naturally, many of them tried to win her over through brute force.
Still
Then are you aware that my daughter is quite strong?
All of them were sent back to their homes, defeated.
Yes.
However, the one before them was a little different.
Thats why I invited some friends to help me.
Fully-armed ruffians crossed the borders of the city hall, engulfing its peace in chaos with their invasion.
Kyaah!
Ugh?!
Elfheims secretary, who had been tending to the bounties, immediately shouted as soon as she saw their faces.
The stragglers!
Checking their stats, Selenis immediately intuited this would swiftly turn into a crisis.
Sister!
Selvenuss expression darkened as well, seemingly having the same thoughts as her.
Hearing themotion, their mother came downstairs and unsheathed a hidden weapon inside her skirt to prepare forbat.
In this desperate situation, their grandfather, who was always calm and collected, spoke in a threatening tone.
Our family has received the protection and status of the faculty and staff. If you are hostile to us, this wont only end with expulsion.
Oh? Thats even better! Ill be the son-inw of a faculty member! Haha!
Their opponent fully delved into their crimes.
It was because of that attitude that the stragglers followed him, which was extremely bad news for the twins and their family.
Thump-thump.
As their peaceful days cracked, anxiety and fear took over.
Selenis would fight as many times as needed to protect her grandfather, mother, and sister.
Her level was low, but she learned enough martial arts from her mother to not burden her. She was no longer too far behind in her level of expertise.
The same went for Selvenus.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
Several high-level spirits, attached to their mother as guards by their absentee father, set out to protect them despite not being summoned.
Even so, the situation remained dire.
Haha! Youre on fire!
Dont enjoy yourselves too much. I have to finish this before the trainee teachers arrive.
Huh. I have long been attracted to women who can fight.
Hey. Be careful not to get hurt.
The stragglers showed no signs of nervousness at all.
Like Selenis, who inherited her fathers blood, they could also check their stats, which meant their leisureliness wasnt just a bluff.
What should I do?
Should she pray for her absentee father or god to save them?
What can I even
???A certain innocent goddess notices a harem.???
???A certain innocent goddess wants them to be punished.???
Pop! Pop!
Two pillows appeared in the air.
Chapter 436 - [Extra] Retribution! (2)
Chapter 436 - [Extra] Retribution! (2)
Where did thise from?
The pillows were soft and had pink and light blue star patterns, which didnt fit this tense atmosphere at all. Still, they couldnt ignore the unparalleled power and strong attraction they felt from it.
Sister.
You too?
Looking at each other, Selvenus grabbed the sky blue pillow while Selenis took the pink one.
The intruders rushed at them all at the same time, finding the situation absurd.
The twins didnt hesitate to fight back.
???A certain innocent goddess cries out for retribution.???
Retribution!
Retribution!
They swung their pillows vigorously.
Boo-woong~
Unable to deflect their attack, they crushed their opponents bodies along with their weapons.
They didnt even know how it was physically possible.
Huh?!
Oh god!
Hey?!
The three closest to the impact were immediately covered in blood and rendered unable to stand up again.
Still, though they were stragglers, their opponents were active-duty Heroes.
Despite theirrades being obliterated instantly, they continued their offensive amid the gap their previous attack opened without hesitation.
Fyum!
Right after they swung their pillows, an arrow flew towards Selenis. With her posture unstable, she knew shed be unable to avoid it.
Sister!
Get away!
She didnt want to feel pain, but she still stared right into the iing projectile fearlessly.
Be patient, Selenis. Be patient
Poing!
At that moment, her pillow stretched like a pancake and easily deflected the arrow.
Huh?
The next onught followed as one of their foes uttered stupid nonsense in this bizarre situation.
Fireball!
me magic.
Its destructive capability was weakened due to the fire spirits interference, but it was still powerful enough to burn everyone in this building.
Above all, it was shot up close.
Their family would be safe since the spirits would protect them, but the people who worked in the city hall wouldnt be.
The twins were already attached to them, but there was nothing they could do
However, at that moment, the pillows they were holding shook once more, causing the air itself to tremble.
It wasnt just a simple sway.
Pshhh
On the contrary, they created a gust strong enough to extinguish the fireball.
Whats this?! Fire! Water! Wind! Darkness Kheugh?!
The opposing magic specialist continued to cast spells, but much like the fireball, they all swiftly vanished. Soon after, he ran out of mana, causing him to bleed out and self-destruct.
How dare you try to hurt my daughters
Huh?!
Kh?!
Their mother, a former escort knight of the Elf King, quickly defeated most of the remaining foes.
As they expected, she was amazing as well!
With the dagger she had hidden inside her skirt, she urately pierced her targets throats, executing them so cleanly and swiftly she gave them no time to even scream.
At that moment
Stop!
Their enemy standing at the safest end of the battlefield shouted threateningly.
They wanted to ignore him, but they couldnt because of the ominous object in his hand.
A bomb.
ording to the spirits around them, it was by no means ordinary either.
Poison gas?
Poison?!
Thats horrible
If it were a magical or physical bomb, the spirits couldve easily taken care of it, but poison was a different existence altogether.
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul.
It didnt belong to any of the categories.
If it exploded at such a close distance, their high-level mother and their grandfather might be safe, but the others would be infected by it.
Including the twins.
Fully aware of that fact, Elfheim and Alkaterinas expressions hardened.
If you dont want to see your daughters die, put down your weapons. The straggler warned.
If it were me in the past, I would have sumbed to that threat. She replied, her tone mncholic. But Ive be a different person after meeting the Hero. He wouldve done the opposite of your demand in this situation.
Are you insane?!
Instead of throwing away her dagger, she pounced at him, causing her target to spout out curses.
I do notpromise with evil, She continued. If I give in to intimidation here, this wont end with just losing my daughters.
Damn it!
Surprised by this sudden development, he hurriedly retreated away.
However, yet another unexpected event urred.
Im!
Stepping backward, the straggler fell down!
No!
This is bad!
Its going to explode!
As a result, his grasp on the bomb loosened, causing it to fall to the ground and roll nonchntly.
Whoops!
Ominous green smoke quickly engulfed the interior of the city hall not long after.
But it didnt lead to a major disaster.
Again?
Seems like it
The pillows the twins held absorbed the poison gas around them like sponges, purified it, and exhaled it as fresh air.
No! How could you nullify the poison I made?!
Crack.
Without hesitation, their mom decapitated their opponents head, causing it to fall on the floor. Swiftly after, she carefully surveyed their surroundings to check if there were any other opponents left.
Are you okay?!
Whats the situation?!
Faculty officials arrived at the scene much sooner than the stragglers had expected.
However, the twins and Elkaterina cleared things up even sooner. Though there were financial losses due to property damages, there were no casualties on their side.
It was all thanks to their suspicious pillows.
???A certain innocent goddess is proud of her kind retribution.???
???A certain innocent goddess walks away, waving her hand.???
Wait! Exin what this is
I think shes already left, sister.
Ah.
The deity had left, but the pillows she gave them remained in their hands.
They questioned if it would be okay to continue using them, but their uneasiness disappeared after a while.
*****
Following us to the bathroom is a bit
The pillows the goddess gave them were always nearby wherever they were, allowing them to bask in their addictive soft sensation.
The twins couldnt even determine the reason or cause behind it, but hugging them in their sleep made their stats rise.
Selenis wished they wouldnt follow them to the bathroom as well since it put them at the risk of getting wet, though.
Huh? Didnt you know this pillow is waterproof, sister?
Really?
Really, Selvenus said. Bathing in arge hot tub with her sister, she immersed her pink pillow in the water.
It rose to the surface like a floaty, but it didnt really get soaked at all.
Grandpa said this pillow is made of Romantium alloy.
When did you ask him about that?
When you were asking mom about our dad.
They were twins, but their personalities had subtle differences, just like how their pillows had the same shape but different colors.
Ah! He also said our breasts are from our fathers bloodline.
Hes human, after all
As they grew up, their chests became much bigger than their mothers.
A characteristic often found in half-elves.
However, ording to their stats, their race was pure blood,pletely ignoring thews of gic inheritance!
Selenis wanted to delve deeper into it, but she didnt know who to ask.
I think youre overthinking this.
She couldnt refute her words. After all, she had so many questions in her head about their new weapons she didnt even notice her pillow was waterproof.
Youre probably right.
Deciding not to think about it anymore, all that remained was the identity of their absentee father.
*****
You should stop.
Selvenus thought Selenis was trying to live a very difficult life.
Their breasts were bigger than their moms, but they were still children. Complex problems should be left to adults.
Just like kids should!
If there were anything finite about their elven immortality, it would be their childhood.
So shouldnt they cherish it?
They should act more like their age.
Their cuteness was enough for their grandpa, whose expression had rxed, to be willing to give them the world.
Selvenus liked her life right now.
Arent you curious about who our father is?
Not at all.
Her sisters way of thinking was very simr to those of impatient humans.
Since they had eternal life, they should learn how to be patient.
If he kept living somewhere in this world indefinitely, they would eventually meet him sooner orter.
If anything, what she was most anxious about was how likely hed disrupt her current peaceful life.
That was all.
Bang!
Selenis! Selvenus! Theres trouble!
Retribution!
Retribution!
Aaahh?!
Throwing their pillows of justice towards their grandfather, who was about to break in and witness them bathing without their permission, he squealed and rolled down on the floor upon being hit by it.
What going on?
Right! What is it, grandpa?
They questioned him with only their heads above the surface of the water.
To think you used to bathe with me and even scrub my back I cant believe you built a wall between you two and your grandpa the moment your breasts developed nicely. This breaks my heart! He eximed, a sad expression on his face.
Its a crime now.
Hehe! Grandpa is a pervert.
He acted pitiful, but all the elves trusted him.
Hence, unless there were a valid reason why he suddenly broke into their bathroom, theyd be a little disappointed.
Selenis, Selvenus. Dont be surprised by what Im about to say.
Is there anything more surprising than you barging in our bathroom?
I agree with my children. You should leave.
Their mother then came into the bathroom the moment he noticed him and pulled his ear.
He screamed as he was dragged away with ease, unable to resist since he was weaker than her.
Ahhh?!
Are you not ashamed of being the father of all elves? Please reflect on yourself.
I introduced you to the greatest man to ever exist! Ive already done my duty as a father!
Her face swiftly reddened as she let go of his ear.
Whenever their dad was the topic, she became infinitely weaker.
Paying no heed to her possible rage, he focused on the issue at hand, which waspletely out of his character.
Theres trouble.
Whats wrong?
When are you leaving?
Was there anything more important than his attempts to see his granddaughters naked?
A proposal came from the neighboring human territory.
For Selenis?
For Selvenus?
The twins looked at each other in confusion.
Their grandfather shook his head and answered in a serious tone.
Both.
???A certain innocent goddess senses the presence of a harem. ???
It wasnt that Selvenus didnt want to live a serious life like her sister, but
The era of retributions had arrived.
*****
It was easy to determine what humans usually thought of elves.
As soon as they refused the marriage proposal, they began to penalize the elven race through multiple means, including imposing excessive tariffs.
And the number of cases revolving around their kind being beaten by unidentified assants sharply increased.
What should they do?
If they invaded them like stragglers, their problem would be solved easily, but using force in this situation would cause dire consequences.
???A certain innocent goddess wants to exact retribution.???
Its a bit hard to do that
Right. Thats a little difficult.
Many cases in the world couldnt be solved through violence alone.
???A certain innocent goddess feels depressed.???
But what if they had strong friends by their side?
???A certain receptionist pats a certain innocent goddesss shoulder andforts her.???
???A certain rxed deity goes out to help a certain innocent goddess.???
???A certain restless demonic god reluctantly supports a certain innocent goddess using durian.???
???A sad evil spirit foretells a fatal cmity in a certain country.???
Could the power of friendship really easily change even a turbulent world?
Selenis seemed to have given up thinking of a solution altogether.
And Selvenus could onlyugh.
Chapter 437 - [Extra] Retribution! (3)
Chapter 437 - [Extra] Retribution! (3)
The Lanuberks lived in a small town with a poption of 3,000.
As the twins grandfather oftenmented, its poption couldnt grow due to their races low fertility and high mortality rate.
Until strange urrences began.
ording to his and his secretarys words
Mayor Elfheim, the number of pregnant women has been rapidly increasing recently.
Increasing?
Thats right. This is just my personal opinion, but Ive deduced that this has been going on for far too long to pass it as a mere temporary coincidence.
I see.
As she said, their citys poption surpassed 10,000 in recent years.
And not because of immigrants.
Rather, it was because the number of 1 and 2-year-old elves recently surged.
The cause behind it remains unknown, though.
Arent you a part of it? I know you applied for parental leave
I dont know. Im of mixed race, so I shouldnt be used as a reference.
Hmm if we can find out the cause, well be able to fundamentally solve the poption problem. But I cant figure it out at all!
Grandpa, who always acted like a know-it-all, scratched his head in confusion.
The twins were really curious as well.
???A wealthy mountain god is delighted by the number of newborn babies.???
???A certain rxed deity appreciates the fertility rate.???
???A certain restless demonic god supports careless mating.???
???A certain clever fanatic foretells theing of a golden age.???
But they couldnt pinpoint it either.
???A certain innocent goddess thanks everyone.???
???A certain god hands out warm friendship-vored popcorn.???
Only they could seem to see the messages of beings iming to be deities.
They were at least certain that from the moment they appeared, everything started to change.
Mon~? Mon~? Mon~?
Selvenus started singing a strange song of unknown origin.
Selenis was going to tell her to stop since it was driving her crazy, but she gave up upon realizing she was also singing along with her.
It was quite addictive!
We need to make a decision, mayor.
I know. I wont dy your application for parental leave any longer.
I wasnt talking about that!
Elfheim Kahn Lanuberk. Our father, our eternal sky. Everyone is waiting for your verdict, for the return of the Great Elf King. His secretary went down on her knees.
Even though it was probably ufortable since she had a baby in her stomach, shey herself on the cold floor without hesitation.
Was their grandfather sitting by the window to ogle at female humans breasts really that amazing?
Her grandfather answered calmly.
Im not as great an elf as you think.
Thats impossible. You often disappoint people, but everyone knows youre just hiding what youre truly capable of!
Thats
His mistakes were genuine.
But she seemed to seriously believe it.
Elf King Elfheim! Please lead us once again! The neighboring countries that have been persecuting us have self-destructed and copsed. Now is the time to rise again! This isnt just my dogmatic opinion. Tribal chiefs, mayors, vige heads, and group heads scattered across Festival are longing for your return! Here is a list of your supporters. Please take a look. Though she was always calm and collected, she wasing out stronger than normal today after feeling a sense of determination and aspiration to do her duty before heading off for her 50-year parental leave, which she recently applied for.
Did he feel the same way she did?
Their grandfather, who always looked pitiful, became serious.
Stroking the twins head, he replied, Im already retired. Now, Im content just being the grandfather of my two cute and lovely granddaughters. Im too old to lead my people. Its time to hand over my throne to the young talents suitable for the changing times.
Thats ridiculous! No one can take your ce, King Elfheim!
My decision is final.
Possessing no greed for power and fame, their grandfather could be called the ideal king.
But he seemed a little too bloated, causing many people to misunderstand his true colors.
That cant be! Our neighboring countries perished one after another after persecuting and oppressing us. Theres no other elf that can aplish such a feat. Our races survival will be impossible without His Majesty Elfheim.
Thats self-defeatism.
Theres no use pretending, your Majesty. Although we found no clear evidence, our opponents were destroyed the moment they started targeting Selenis and Selvenus. Youre the only one who can secretly aplish our great cause.
Huh? Thats just pure coincidence.
Even if you keep saying so, no elf would believe you, o Great King.
Her words actually sounded usible.
If all of his pitiful actions were but a disguise to hide what he was truly capable of
Their grandfather began to look a little cooler.
???A certain innocent goddess admires his perfect disguise.???
???A certain restless demonic god makes fun of her for being innocent.???
???A certain innocent goddess is bing teary-eyed.???
???A certain reaper quickly sprinkles red pepper powder.???
???A certain restless demonic god screams as he rolls on the floor.???
They were insane!
Were they the ones who did it?
???A certain receptionist pats his shoulder and agrees.???
???A certain rxed deity admires his perfect disguise.???
???A certain ninja god admires his perfect disguise.???
???A certain wretched evil spirit admires his perfect disguise.???
???A certain spirit admires his perfect disguise.???
???A certain clever fanatic agrees.???
That didnt seem to be the case.
If so, then that meant it really was their grandfathers doing.
Despite denying it until the very end, he changed his attitude when his secretary threw in a condition.
In that case, to strengthen the royal power and our cause, one of your two granddaughters will be the new Elf Kings bride
Nonsense!
Enraged and furious, he wrapped his arms around the twins to protect them as he made a deration.
I will make a powerful country where no one can surpass my granddaughters!
Would it be that easy?
He was the one who told them there were a lot of beings in this world whose power had surpassedmon sense itself.
???A certain innocent goddess vows to support him.???
It became a reality.
Does this make sense? Selvenus, what do you think
Mon~ ? Mon~? Mon~?
At this point, Selenis no longer knew what was happening.
*****
Their territory, which grew to an empire by absorbing neighboring countries without much difficulty, developed like a snowball turning into an avnche.
The twins got goosebumps because of it.
Awesome! Grandpa prepared for this in advance!
A series of phenomena that shouldnt have been possible urred in session.
The tyrant, previously thought invincible, was now dying of grave injuries?
A civil war rose in a town that had faith in local beliefs.
Oracles that foretold a flood came to temples in various ces.
The list was endless.
When did he start preparing to absorb neighboring countries?
He smiled all day long in front of his family, but he was already brewing up such a storm from behind
Their respect for him grew a little bitrger.
His neighbors and those around him all seemed to agree.
Long live the 3rd Elf King!
Praise His Majesty Elfheim!
Our Great Father!
We will sing songs about your glory!
May the King live forever!
People used to praise him in the past, but the twins didnt realize just how much back then.
Nevertheless, when their city turned into an empire, and everyone chanted their grandfathers name
They finally understood how amazing their grandfather was!
Thats He looked embarrassed.
Seeing his reaction, their mother grumpily said, Ive felt it since a long time ago, but my fathers really lucky. Im not saying hes ipetent, though.
Huh! Its quite sad to hear that from you, my t-chested daughter. You got married to the strongest being in this world because of my luck.
No, what?
Their grandfather said he was once stuck with her mother, but now, she couldnt stop talking about their father.
They didnt know what he looked like, but his shadow was always around them.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Earth, fire, wind, water, soul!
The spirits he gave the twins as escorts were always with them.
And a group of faculty and staff members regrly checked their familys safety and ensured they could enjoy various privileges.
As their Empires territory grewrger and more elves were born, their races power and rights increased day by day.
All these feats belong to my daughter Elkaterina and my two granddaughters, Selenis and Selvenus, who have inherited the blood of the Great Hero! Mypatriots! Please continue to love these two blessed children! Their grandfather eximed.
Wow!
Long live the royal family!
I love them!
They didnt know what he was thinking when he said that, but others expectations of them began to rise since then.
???A certain innocent goddess cheers for the twins.???
???A certain receptionist cheers with a certain innocent goddess.???
???A certain rxed deity appreciates the twins highly.???
???A certain restless demonic god expects a lot from the twins.???
???A certain god is cheering for the twins.???
Selenis and Selvenus expressed their gratitude inwardly.
The Elf Empire continued to grow day by day.
However, as their territory expanded, so did their crises.
Chaooo!
A colossal angel-hating jet-ck dragon came down from the skies above.
Noebius.
Thiss previous owner haphazardlynded in their homes front yard.
They could let that much pass, but
Mom! I cant see Mon ying in the yard!
Your slime? I definitely saw it therest time
No way Is it?
It wasnt as soft as others of its kind, but the twins still cherished it as their pet.
The two diligently circled around the dragon, looking for it.
Mon!
Mon! Where are you?
However, despite how hard they searched, they failed to find it.
As they were about to give up halfway, they finally witnessed a terrible sight.
Chaooo.
In the middle of the plot ofnd Noebius vacated was a pile of goo that had be so ttened its shape was rendered unrecognizable.
Mon
Sister! Its alive!
Thats a relief!
Thanks to its soft body, it returned to their arms safely and in its original state.
But the twins couldnt move on just like that.
Well never forgive you!
Right!
???A certain innocent goddess strongly sympathizes.???
Selenis and Selvenus went to find the evil ck Dragon without their grandfather and mothers knowledge.
Chaooo?
Retribution!
Retribution!
They nned on hitting him lightly with a pillow.
A being of his size would probably only snort at their attack, but they still wanted to get vengeance anyway.
Bad dragon! If youre going tough,ugh!
Chaoooo~?!
Huh?
What?
Exceeding their expectations, they crushed Noebius, the fearsome ck Dragon, so much he didnt even leave behind a corpse.
???A certain innocent goddess is pleased.???
???A certain timid dragon god sweats coldly.???
The situation grew chaotic.
Their mother scolded them for doing something dangerous, but their grandfather onlyughed cheerfully and danced.
As expected! You truly carry the Heros blood! Just trust me, Selenis, Selvenus. All the elves on this will whisper your name once more!
Rumors that the twins defeated the ck ceratopsian Neubius spread across the continent in just one day.
As a result, their Empire easily annexed countless countries. Afterward, they were established as its emperors, and their grandfather their regent.
Everything was going great.
Until that fateful day.
Hey?
A male human with the same smile as them unexpectedly came into their lives.
Chapter 438 - [Extra] Retribution! (4)
Chapter 438 - [Extra] Retribution! (4)
Hoohoohoo~?
The twins could hear their grandfather humming all the way to the living room from the kitchen.
He always seemed to feel delighted whenever he saw them, but today their effect on him seemed especially severe.
The man spoke to their grandfather.
Did something good happen?
Ah! Hero. Todays the second happiest day of my life!
Is that so.
Arent you going to ask when the first one was?
I dont see the need to.
Haha! Brave Hero, dont be timid. Its the day my granddaughters were born!
I see.
Their conversation continued for quite a long time, and as it progressed, their spection that he was their father turned into certainty.
But they didnt even know how to talk to him.
Hed make it easier for them if he took the initiative and admitted being their dad, but he didnt seem to have the desire to introduce himself first.
???A certain innocent goddess watches the scene anxiously.???
???A certain restless demonic god demands the situation to progress quickly.???
???A certain god hands out freshly made popcorn.???
???A certain eternal goddess binge eats popcorn while its still warm.???
Popcorn
Though they were in an extremely serious environment right now, it seemed the deities only saw their predicament as a spectacle.
His first words to them opened up quite an unexpected topic.
I heard you captured Noebius.
ckie?
ckie?
It happened in the distant past, but the twins did defeat Festivals previous owner by crushing him with their pillows.
Noebius, the Dragon King.
Everything changed after they slew him.
Their rights, interests, territories, and reputations
But it was clear that wasnt what he was interested in.
Could you tell me why you hunted ckie?
People, including their mother and grandfather, ask the two how they defeated him, but he was different.
He questioned the reason behind their actions.
They answered honestly.
He attacked our teacher.
He molested our teacher.
In times like this, as the eldest of the two, Selenis answered as their representative.
The evil ck dragon crushed their pet while resting in the yard, forcing their hand to punish him.
Teacher?
Even the man bearing the same smile as them seemed confused.
Their pet, fluffing around all day, was no ordinary slime.
Theyre talking about me Kh?!
Amid their conversation, she entered the scene and returned to her original form.
From slime to human.
However, before they could even react, the human before them had already grabbed her neck.
Teacher?!
Teacher?!
Surprised, the twins instinctively cried out, but it was already a tad toote.
Fortunately, he didnt seem to have any intention of harming her.
He slowly loosened his grip and gave her room to breathe.
At least announce your presence first.
Oh I thought youd notice, but it seems to me youre too focused on your daughters.
Why are you here?
Im keeping my promise to you, Kang Han Soo. You dont need my training, so Im taking care of your children instead. I was the one who cut the umbilical cords of Selenis and Selvenus.
As she said, though she still treated them like toddlers, she taught them in her slime form. When asked why, she only said, Because your father seeded after being trained by one.
In other words, she wasnt certain either.
Selenis, Selvenus, say hello. Hes the father youve been wanting to meet for so long.
Dad?
Dad?
Though she was the one that introduced him, it still struck them like lightning.
They had already guessed that was the case the moment they saw him smile, but their teacher confirmed their spections.
Dad.
Feel free to say hello to him!
The twins looked at each other upon being urged by her before finally greeting him.
Ah, hello.
Good morning
He smiled righteously at them, allowing them to see the reason why their mom blushed whenever she talked about him.
Wasnt he so cool?
Im happy to finally meet you two. This is a bitte, but Im d you were born so healthy.
Hearing his praise as he acknowledged his position as their father, their lips curved to a bright smile.
They wanted to say that he waste with a coy expression instead of a grin, but he was mysteriously irresistible.
At that moment, they finally understood how their mother felt.
I cant correct that smile of theirs
Why correct it? Wasnt it cute?
They couldnt understand their teachers concern.
*****
Saintess A, who volunteered to treat me free of charge for ten years to save the savage world of Fantasy, flirted with me while leaning against the railing of an aircraft that flew over a snowy field engulfed by a blizzard. However, since the deck was frozen and slippery, she paid the price for not paying attention to the Righteous Heros warning to be careful!
Then what happened?
How was Saintess A?
The twins snuggled up next to their father as they listened to stories about his adventures.
Their slime teachers lectures werent bad, but his adventures contained numerous lessons.
Todays lesson was to beware of ice!
I couldnt dy my journey because of her absurd disappearance. Every day that passes without me defeating the Demon Lord is another day the natives of Fantasy must live through in fear.
Oh
Ah!
His story was very rational and logical, and it allowed them to see how difficult the job of a Hero was in reality.
For his duty and cause, he had to turn his back on his loved ones, colleagues, and friends who cried andughed with him.
It was too much
Deciding I cant dy my journey, I shed tears and told my colleagues she had been kidnapped by the Fifth Great Disaster, Snow Queen Elsh.
So what about Saintess A?
Did she rejoin youter?
He responded with his Righteous Heros smile.
I never saw her after that. The environment she got lost in was far too harsh for someone like her, who only healed us from far behind our frontlines, to survive. However, thats simply the price she had to pay for ignoring my advice to learn self-defense and opting to just y around! Selenis, Selvenus. You must always be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
There was always a lesson in the adventures their father told them.
And through his words, they got to know who he was.
The Righteous Hero.
He sacrificed so much he couldnt even take care of his beloved family.
This is shameful of me to ask as your father, but be stronger than anyone else, my daughters. And with that power, protect your grandfather and mother from all threats.
Yes!
Yes!
???A certain innocent goddess is moved by his righteous love for his family.???
???A certain innocent goddess clenches her fist.???
???A certain receptionist is troubled by a certain innocent goddesss enthusiasm.???
???A certain eternal god feels very grateful.???
At that moment, they suddenly felt stronger.
Was it just them?
They wanted to hear more of their dads exciting stories, but their mother stopped them.
Its time to eat!
At her words, he gently put them down.
Lets go have a meal. The next story I see. Let me tell you about Sword King Alex, my swordsmanship teacher. Hes also really annoying.
That does sound like an arrogant title. Mom is good with using swords too
Please continue~
Selenis seemed to hate the title Sword King, but Selvenus just wanted to listen to their dad.
Hero Kang Han Soo.
The person with the hardest duty in the world.
*****
Big and small events urred after their father left to tend to his busy schedule as the Righteous Hero.
The crisis their father warned them about also unexpectedly came around that time.
Surrender now while you still
Retribution!
Retribution!
Numerous female androids came down from space. Amid their siege, a man tried to threaten them.
So they punished them!
The twins swung their pillows, keeping their attacks gentle since their teacher told them their power was enough to destroy the entirety of Festival.
Bang! Boom! Bang!
Even so, they easily wiped the androids from existence while their leaders arms had been blown to smithereens.
Ugh! Even his children are monsters Kheugh!
His children?
You mean dad?
As he was about to run out of breath, he shut his lips tightly, refusing to answer them.
The situation wasnt great.
It was an opportunity for them to indirectly experience their fathers adventures, which they had only ever heard of.
But they couldnt even make him talk.
That man lying there is my half-brother.
Huh!
Oh?!
Startled by the feminine voice behind them, they swiftly turned around, finding a female android standing with a gloomy expression.
Half-brother?
Dont look at me like that. Even though I look like this, Im still a man in my heart and soul.
Ah yes.
I see.
At the very least, she didnt seem to be against them.
If so, then why did she show up?
The android answered their question.
Let me introduce myself. Im Boris, and Im currently cleaning up my countrys ghosts that were defeated by your father, Kang Han Soo. The one you just beat is the second prince, my ugly half-brother. In other words, Im
A princess?
Youre a princess.
A prince! Im a prince!
Furious, Boris boldly thrust a dagger into her half-brothers throat.
Were they really brothers?
She showed no hesitation in killing him.
Youre really coldhearted.
I agree. You didnt even shed tears.
The self-proimed prince replied, Hey! Then what about your father who exterminated the women I loved?
Dad?
Dad?
Yes. Hes a Hero who shows no mercy on his enemies. She spoke very calmly for her beloved women that the Righteous Hero murdered.
As if reading their thoughts based only on their expressions, she continued.
It was my fault. I treated war as a joke. Kang Han Soo killed them, but I was the one who brought them to the battlefield
Be strong.
Cheer up!
The pretty older woman smiled at their support.
Im not weak enough to needfort from little kids, but I dont hate it. This isnt a reward, but Ill tell you about your terrifying father.
Wow!
Youre the best!
Boris began to unpack stories about him while sitting on her dead brothers corpse, effectively turning it into a chair.
Call me oppa. If you dont want to, call me uncle instead. Anyway, Hero Kang Han Soos ughter! His adventure progresses on the other side of the universe even as we speak
Oh!
The universe!
Their dads journey was underway somewhere in the dark sky above them.
Chapter 439 - [Extra] SSS-Class Barbarian (1)
Chapter 439 - [Extra] SSS-ss Barbarian (1)
These days, novels in which the protagonist bes a hero by being summoned to a world of fantasy has be popr.
Huh? What are you talking about? Its been a while since that trend ended. Novels right now are all about heroes getting vengeance after being betrayed by theirrades.
Really? I think thetest trend is about regression, reincarnations, or resurrection.
Should we really talk about this on our high school field trip bus?
It would be nice to discuss what to enjoy at our destination, but my friends didnt seem to care about that.
Fantasy.
Wouldnt it be better to worry about the uing college entrance exam rather than wasting our time on such unnecessary topics?
I looked out the bus window.
Clouds, sea, waves, trees, people, buildings, roads, cars, buses, trucks
The uniquendscape was perfect except for the congested traffic along the coastal road.
What about you, Han Soo? What do you think is thetest trend?
Wait. Hes totally lost his mind.
Yeah. Whats he doing staring nkly out the window?
I dont know. Maybe he has a girlfriend hidden over there?
That cant be it. Our Han Soo isnt capable of that.
Right. You went too far.
While I was enjoying my school trip, my friends eyes turned to me.
How should I answer
If I were to lie about having a girlfriend, I wouldnt be able to handle the aftermath, so I pretended to be interested in their conversation.
Fantasy novels that are popr these days are about revenge.
It wasnt just revenge.
Defeating the vile demon king, ying the powerful evil dragon, destroying the oppressive empire, saving the world in peril,pleting their vengeance
That was where the prologue would begin.
Haha! Thats silly.
Yeah. Who would read a boring,batcking novel?
The protagonist will live the rest of their lives in happiness after defeating the demon king. Is there a need to write something so mundane as a novel?
Leave me be.
By intervening in a topic I wasnt even interested in, I became theughing stock of my friends.
But I didnt feel like arguing.
I wasnt certain if they found our conversation extremely annoying, but even the female students eyes were on me.
However, when our eyes met, they turned their heads away immediately, pretending to be disinterested.
I wished my friends would just remain silent until we reached our destination.
But after hearing Han Soos words, Ive grown a little curious. What would the hero do after defeating the demon king?
Wouldnt they have a baby with the princess? I dont know
The heros the strongest in the world. Wouldnt they have a good life somehow?
How would they do that, though?
I dont know.
My friends talked about a new topic for a while.
And this time as well, they turned their attention to me.
Why couldnt they just leave me alone?
But, as always, theypelled me to answer.
I reluctantly answered.
If there were no enemies around, the hero would probably go on a journey to find and cull a new evil.
Even if there was a limit to such a n.
*****
Dont go too far. Make sure you get back to your hotel by 6 oclock!
Yes!
Yeah~
Arriving at the school destination, we were given free time as soon as we unpacked.
While the other sses seemed to be closely apanied by their homeroom teachers, ours were quite unshackled.
That was good news for me, considering I could use this time to visit the tourist attractions and restaurants that I had researched on the Inte in advance.
Still
My ears felt itchy.
Girls, if a suspicious man talks to you, go to Han Soo~
Yes, teacher.
Yeah, to Han Soo.
I wondered why my name was mentioned in their precautions, but they didnt seem to mean anything malicious by it.
Did I look that funny?
I didnt know why the female students nced at me and smiled.
Han Soo is as popr as always~
Hey! Youre making me envious!
Were not kidding. Im really envious as well.
Come with me, Han Soo!
If hes by my side, Ill feel safe and reassured!
What were these bastards telling me, who had never been in a fight?
But I didnt refuse.
I had been pretty lucky since the old days, and I had never been in an argument with the notorious delinquents in our neighborhood.
If you want to hang out with me, feel free to!
It wasnt bad for me either, anyway.
As the number of people apanying me increased, the risk of being followed by a suspicious person decreased.
If my friends were with me instead of our forgetful and carefree teacher, I would feel reassured as well.
Hmm. Should wee with him?
Lets join Han Soo too.
Our safety would be guaranteed that way.
Is that really your only reason?
I dont want to keep talking about this anymore.
The girls, who always flocked together in school, secretly joined our group.
Was it because the teacher, who was supposed to have lunch at a sushi restaurant, said something strange? Our party suddenly grew in number.
Well, the more people we had, the safer we were, so I found nothing wrong with it.
Everyone. Please make sure Han Soo wont be called to the police station.
Okay.
Sure~
Please protect them, Han Soo.
Will do.
We finally officially began our field trip after roughly answering our homeroom teachers jokes, who still decided to neglect us.
*****
As a tourist destination with a beautiful sea, various groups gathered here.
Foreigners, solicitors, street vendors, students, children, the elderly, couples
Hence, various incidents and idents urred constantly.
For example
I went to a restaurant, which was rumored to have a delicious curry, only to be seated next to the girl said to be the prettiest in my grade.
That went to show the unexpected could happen at any moment.
Even now.
People are gathering over there. Is there a celebrity here right now?
I havent heard anything about that. Im curious, though. Why dont we go look?
Hmm. Doesnt it look like there are a lot of men out there?
Yeah.
Its probably a famous singer or actress, then. I cant see any cameraman or bodyguards, though.
Lets go!
My friends, who were bored until they saw the statue of a Buddha in a famous temple, ran to themotion with their eyes shining brightly.
I couldnt understand why they were making such a fuss.
Arent you going with them, Han Soo? Asked the girl beside me, who had changed her outfit from her dull school uniform to a splendid attire.
When I turned my attention to her, I found her eating curry.
I didnt know why she asked such a pointless question.
Do I have to?
I didnt want to break through such a huge crowd just to look at the face of a woman who wasnt even my girlfriend.
I see!
Why?
Hey, I just asked.
I see.
I thought wed have to wait for a long time, but my friends soon returned and started reporting their findings.
Shes not a celebrity, but shes really pretty.
Ive never seen such a beauty before.
I even thought she was a goddess.
I dont know all the details, but I heard the students of a famous university came here on a field trip as well.
Wow! Studying together in the same ssroom as that beautiful girl
Shes not just pretty. I heard shes kind as well.
Im envious.
The school trip seemed to have been pushed to the corner of their minds.
After a while, I finally saw the subject of their conversation.
As the crowds dispersed from the scene, they revealed a group of college students. In the middle of them was a woman standing like a rose among thorns.
She had a pure beauty and innocence that seemed to convince everyone her heart was kind to all.
Oh Hmm?
While mesmerized by her elegance, the smartphone in my pocket rang, bringing me back to reality.
? Mom: You must have arrived by now. Are you having fun? (1:32 PM)
?Mom: Did you already find a girlfriend? (1:33 PM)
My mother always imed she was treated like a princess or queen when she was still a student.
If so, I couldnt help but wonder why she married someone as ordinary-looking as my father. Still, I had noints. It was thanks to them that I was born.
Oh! I should reply quickly.
? Me: No. There is no such extraterrestrial life around me. (1:34 PM)
I couldnt believe she asked me, who did nothing but study, if I was already in a rtionship.
Finding a lover on a high school field trip only happened in old-fashioned novels.
This had to be caused by the gap between our generations!
? Mom: Go have fun ^^ (1:41 PM)
? Me: I will. (1:41 PM)
? Mom: Take a lot of pictures and send them to me. (1:44 PM)
? Me: Okay. (1:44 PM)
? Mom: Dont forget my souvenirs. (1:48 PM)
? Me: Yes. (1:48 PM)
While answering her manymands, the pure-looking college student also left, causing the streets to return to their former state.
And we picked up our pace to follow the schedule of our tour.
This is really weird.
What is?
Im sure I took a picture of that college girl, but I cant find it.
Same!
I wanted to tell my friends that that was an infringement of photographic rights, but I kept my mouth shut since I didnt want to ruin the mood of our pleasant school trip.
She was indeed beautiful enough for others to take a picture of her and keep it, but Huh?
What did she look like?
I could remember her looking kind and gorgeous, but I had no idea what she exactly looked like.
This was troublesome.
My entrance exam was just around the corner. If my memory kept malfunctioning like this, my future would look bleak.
Han Soo.
Hmm?
Whos that girl in the photo? Your neighbor? Your girlfriend? Asked Curry Girl, sticking her head over my shoulder.
She shouldnt spy on other peoples smartphones like that
My mom.
Oh, your mother looks extremely young and beautiful! She doesnt look like you at all.
She normally wouldnt talk to me like this, but she was acting weird today.
In any case, our itinerary went very smoothly after that.
I almost got denied admission to the museum, iming I was a suspicious individual despite not having any evidence to back it up. I wasnt surprised, though, since it always happened whenever I traveled to a distant destination anyway.
As expected of Kang Han Soo
He hasnt betrayed our expectations.
Haha! I thought my heart was going to pop out fromughing too much then.
Did you see the ticketdys expression?
Thanks for entertaining us!
What were they even saying?
Our schedule was slightly dyed due to the museum staffs mistake, causing us to head back to the hotel past 6:00 PM.
Follow the road we took during the day to go back
Im done with the survey
What do you mean? I havent even gotten an answer yet.
Answer to what?
Didnt I ask you to eat together with me?
Thank you so much for helping out with my survey, senior, but
Do you think your insincere gratitude is enough to settle everything?
Thats
She seemed to be in a difficult situation.
I didnt really like meddling in other peoples affairs, but Id feel ufortable if I were to just pass by.
The junior even seemed to have gone to the same university as my mother.
There would be no greater disgrace than that.
Huh? No way!
Hes really going!
Here hees.
Prepare for stomach pains.
I feel like weve been in a simr situation before
Oh, thats right!
My friends and the female students babbled behind me as I walked forward, looking straight at themotion.
Hey, do you have anything against my sister?
Moral code.
Whenever someone was in a difficult situation, one should pretend to be their rtive or friend.
Chapter 440 - [Extra] SSS-Class Barbarian (2)
Chapter 440 - [Extra] SSS-ss Barbarian (2)
Oh, youre his sister?!
The seniors surprise wasnt unreasonable.
If one were to suddenly talk about their family at a tourist destination, even the country would start to question you.
Did I overdo it?
We dont even have any resemnce I mean, yes, hes my brother. We usually get along well, but this situation confused me for a moment. Hahaha
Naturally, we looked nothing alike. We werent real siblings, after all.
However, the college senior didnt seem to doubt our words.
So, can you tell me what you need from my sister?
I asked her to have dinner with me.
Thats unfortunate. Weve already agreed to have a meal together with our parents. Right, sister?
I looked back at my kind college sister, feeling a little nervous because Id look stupid if she denied it tantly.
Are you okay?
Sister?
Huh? Yes? Oh, right! We decided to have a meal together with our family! Im so sorry, senior!
She lost her bearings for a moment there, causing me to worry a little, but she, fortunately, matched my rhythm before it was toote.
Next up was her senior.
If he decided to recklessly join our family dinner, wed have nothing to counter against it.
Luckily, he didnt seem that rude.
Well, then theres nothing I can do about it. Sorry to bother you!
After apologizing to us, he quickly disappeared to the far end of the street.
Whew I exhaled, feeling relieved for making it through safely.
I was honestly a little scared, considering our opponent was huge and tough-looking.
My friends and schoolgirls were talking behind me, but I couldnt hear what they were saying. My heart was beating too loud and too fast.
Hey thank you so much.
All I could clearly understand was the college girls voice, who was standing in front of me.
Dont worry about it. I should get going.
Wait!
Yes?
Have you already forgotten? You promised to have dinner with me, didnt you?
Thats
I was just improvising when I said that.
Was this what an adult was like?
As I got closer to my female college friend, my brain became dominated by something I couldnt quite identify.
Hormones? Pheromones? Adrenaline? Estrogen? Testosterones?
I wasnt certain.
Theres a famous restaurant 10 minutes away from here.
You mean the restaurant next to the first Chunjang Bungeoppang store in this ce?
Thats right!
It was awkward at first, but the more we spoke, the more I becamefortable.
Holding her hand, we made our way to the restaurant.
Woo- woo- woo- woo- woo
I felt like my smartphone had been vibrating in my pocket for quite a bit of time now, but it was probably just me.
*****
My memory ofst night was hazy, almost as if it was just a dream.
I ate at a restaurant with my college friend, and for dessert, I bought bungeoppang at this ces first Chunjang Bungeoppang store. (Note: Bungeoppang* fish-shaped waffle with red bean)
But I couldnt remember what I did in detail
Ah! I remembered something!
She told me I was handsome and manly, I think?
It was the first time someone genuinely praised my appearance.
But our rtionship ended there.
I didnt give her my full name, and we didnt even exchange contact information.
If she had asked, I wouldve dly told her, but she didnt.
I hesitated at the thought that she might just be reluctant to ask me, but she probably just wasnt interested.
Was this what it meant to break up?
Han Soos acting weird.
From my diagnosis, hes in love!
I believe so as well.
No way. Our Han Soo? Oh my.
Han Soo! Talk to us!
My friends, who had woken up at the same time, had been causing a fuss since dawn.
What were these bastards saying now?
Its not like that.
Obviously, I never saw the college girl for the rest of our school trip, which instead ended with boos from my friends.
*****
A certain righteous divine being detects the smell of evil.
A certain restless demonic god ims its the scent of a harem.
A certain god pops 3333 popcorn.
I didnt know if it was because I became a god, thus removing the limits of my lifespan, but time seemed to pass quicker now.
Our high school field trip felt vivid, almost as if it happened yesterday, but I was now on a space trip.
To establish justice in the universe.
I ventured to a savage that Master Mons teachings never reached.
Excuse me. Im Hero A. Can I ask you something?
Hey?!
It didnt matter whether it was in Fantasy or on others. Everyone reacted the same whenever I spoke with the Righteous Heros smile on my face.
They were always terribly surprised.
That taught me that this world discriminated based on looks, at least.
Ill answer to the best of my capabilities, so please, spare at least my wife and children!
Ah
What did Spaceman D think of me?
I was the Righteous GGG-ss Hero.
The Hero would never take someone elses wife and daughter by using his handsome looks.
Still, it was too annoying to exin my side to resolve misunderstandings, so I went straight to the point instead.
Ive heard about a bad rumor circting around here. Can you exin it to me in detail?
I-I dont know what youre talking about
Really?
Save me, hero!
I was possessed by the witch and helped her indirectly, but I really didnt know! Please believe me! Please Keugh?!
Shut up and exin the situation to me.
Frightened by my divine presence, the evil minion started confessing as soon as I caught him between his 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae!
The gist of the situation was that there had been a rumor about powerful monsters entering the house of Beauty S, a stranger who settled in a nearby vige.
It turned out to be real.
I happened to pass by the witchs log house after being chased by an ogre while chopping wood in the forest.
You mean the ogre stopped hunting you down and disappeared into her home?
Thats right.
You used it, didnt you?
What do you mean?
You passed by the house of a woman living alone in the woods to get rid of the terrifying ogre. On purpose.
Well, thats
Excuses are a sin.
Aghh!?
Crack.
Now that I had tampered between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae elegantly, it would be difficult for him to mate normally in the next few years.
Now, then
It was time to meet Beauty S to uncover the truth behind the rumor.
A certain righteous divine being tries to execute an infiltration.
A certain restless demonic godughs insidiously.
A certain restless demonic god is certain of a harem.
A certain restless demonic god bets a sky blue underwear.
A certain receptionist is shocked.
A certain receptionist cries.
Woosh!
My clothes almost got soaked since I ignored the weather forecast about the sudden rain shower, but I was able to infiltrate before that.
They needed to be quiet, or else theyd drive me crazy.
A certain kind goddess carefully sticks out her head.
? Question: President Kang Han Soo. Are you busy?
Im not busy at all, Morality Teacher!
Beauty S was in the midst of a mysterious ritual that pushed mind-controlled monsters into her dark pit, but I didnt have to worry about it.
? Difficulty: Im nning to apply for regr leave. For some reason, the system requires the permission of the President, not the Director
That was only natural.
I decided to handle her vacation personally to prevent my jealous, cowardly wife from abusing her, who was beautiful both in body and mind.
So she was applying for a leave
? Confirmation: Yes. Please dont ask where Im going.
Whimper!
I felt as if the kind-hearted Morality Teacher was gradually drifting away from me. I didnt want to believe it, but she seemed to have already been in love with someone before I became her student
But I couldnt do anything about it.
A certain righteous divine being focuses on his work.
A certain restless demonic godins of frustration.
A certain rxed deity watches the scene with interest.
A certain god is handing out popcorn.
A certain innocent goddess asks whats going on.
Please have a good vacation, Morality Teacher!
After sincerely wishing her happiness and sess, I returned from being the Head of Fantasy to a Hero.
How far did I go?
Huh? Did the sudden change in the weather twist my summoning spell?! Youre supposed to be a handsome Demon Lord, not an ugly crucian carp!
Im not a carp! I will carve that deep into your body for four years. Cuckoo!
Oh, no!
A crucian-carp-headed giant popped out of the dark pit.
From my point of view, it was insignificant.
However, it wasnt someone a human with a poor pelvis could handle.
Squeak! Squeak!
A certain innocent goddess covers her face with her palms
A certain restless demonic god suggests taking the time to rescue her.
A certain rxed deity highly appreciates this development.
A certain receptionist urges for salvation.
Hmm
She was being attacked by the one she summoned. Wasnt that self-defeatism?
I didnt feel the need to save her.
But
A certain righteous divine being grabs someones cervical vertebrae.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!
Crack.
Finding any conversation here unnecessary, I instantly killed the summoned being!
It might be possible to resurrect it using a special ability, but only if their assant was an ordinary being.
[Hero]
In my presence, who ceaselessly exacted justice, all evil had an equal end.
That was my Providence.
Wahh Sniff
Beauty S, whose clothes were torn helplessly by her summoned beastsrge hands, was now half-naked.
Contrary to the ugly rumors, she looked like an ordinary woman.
What were you trying to summon?
Sniff! I shouldnt hide anything from my savior. I tried to summon the Demon Lord
Why?
I cant tell you that.
I see.
I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her up since she couldnt stand up by herself due to her weakened legs.
Ah
With our faces so close to each other we could feel our breaths against our skin, I asked, Still cant tell me?
Well, if youre my man, perhaps I can
Really?
Ahm!
Our lips met, and our tongues intertwined with each other, preventing us from talking.
Beauty Ss arms, as she caressed my back, drooped.
I reached a simple verdict.
Your reasons so embarrassing you cant even tell others, isnt it?
A certain restless demonic god is astonished at someones hasty judgment.
A certain innocent goddess thinks that was too much.
A certain righteous divine being cleans up the scene.
Hmm
Should I finally go on vacation after working ceaselessly like Morality Teacher?
There were delicious bungeoppang stores Id like to visit.
Chapter 441 - [Extra] SSS-Class Barbarian (3)
Chapter 441 - [Extra] SSS-ss Barbarian (3)
In the past, the Earth was beautiful but covered in soot.
However, its atmosphere dramatically improved as the frequent invasions of aliens introduced advanced civilizations from space.
Fantasy was no different.
Whoa!
My body no longer needed to breathe, but having a smooth oxygen supply made me feel like I could think a little clearer and faster.
Still, If I were to keep pursuing efficiency alone, I should also remove the need for internal organs and genitals.
Yes. A perfect body like Master Mons Huh?
Huh? What is the Great One doing on this shabby?
I took him with me.
Mon~
Se-e-e-ex~
I soon realized whose arms he was in.
Ssosia. Whats going on here?
Thats what I want to ask you. Why are you here even though your parents no longer are? Theres no viin strong enough on Earth that requires my handsome husbands assistance. My cowardly wife asked sharply, clearly dissatisfied even though she was already my first spouse.
I didnt have a tracker on my body, but many people around me could tell her about my location.
Who did this?
A certain innocent goddess ims to be innocent.
A certain rxed deity hides behind someones back.
A certain restless demonic god whistles nonchntly.
A certain evil spirit says he isnt responsible for this.
A certain god distributes popcorn to the suspects.
Too many candidates
Since Master Mon was here, and I didnt get caught trying to do anything bad anyway, I decided to be honest.
Theres a famous restaurant here.
Its been more than 30 years. What makes you think its still open?
Its just that great of an establishment.
Sounds like you came here blindly without doing any preliminary research.
Is that all you have to say?
Yes! But since Ive alreadye all the way here, I want to eat with you.
Sure.
Thank you!
Her fierce eyes, which were akin to that of a wildcat trying to cut off thest breath of a panting prey, returned to their usual cowardly fox mien.
Shoving Master Mon between her cowardly breasts, she hurriedly stuck to me and wrapped her arms around mine.
Se-e-e-ex~!
Just tell that guy to be quiet.
Why?
Se-e-e-ex?
It would be better for you not to know.
Lets go!
She restlessly pulled and urged me without knowing the location of the restaurant as she brimmed with child-like excitement. I was going to scold her for it but decided not to.
What about our child?
My aunt and mom are taking care of him.
I see.
It was too obvious, but we clearly needed to have a conversation because people were starting to look at us suspiciously.
This was wisdom based on my experience.
I needed to indirectly inform them we were already married to avoid misunderstanding.
I wouldnt cause any trouble to warrant the cops attention, but I didnt want to cause a fuss in my hometown.
I was on vacation, after all.
I want to take a quiet break while pondering the beautiful memories of the past before returning to work.
Are they a married couple?
His wife looks like a foreigner.
Shes so beautiful.
Haha! That mans quite capable
She sold her soul for money.
Their whispers entered my ears one after another.
Though they firmly believed I couldnt hear them, listening in on them was nothing to a god who could eavesdrop on noises on the other side of the world if so desired.
Many of their assumptions were disrespectful, making me confused why Ssosia was still smiling in this situation.
Are you okay, wife? You look happy.
Of course. Were on a date. And if my research is correct, Id be my husbands first date, right?
Ah!
She felt good because she was my first date, didnt she?
I thought she had gotten over it already, but it seemed her obsession with the word first remained undaunted.
I see many couples holding bread that look like crucian carp, husband. By any chance
Thats right. That fish-shaped bun is the specialty of the restaurant Im looking for.
Whats ck bean paste, by the way? It looks like it goes inside the bread.
Youll know when you taste it.
Huh.
Since their business went well, many fakes appeared around them, but they couldnt surpass the taste of the original.
Ssosia and I stood quietly at the very back of a long queue.
Well have to wait an hour.
Well
She didnt seem to mind, though.
Resting her head on my shoulder, she quietly enjoyed the situation.
But we couldnt even do that in silence.
Aww!
Hey!
Argh?!
The men mesmerized by Ssosias beauty screamed as their sides were pinched by their girlfriends or wives.
Poor souls
By Earths standards, Ssosia was considered a goddess, but in Fantasy, she was just a little above average.
She was the second most gorgeous woman in the universe, after all.
All but those who thought their girlfriends and wives were the prettiest wherever she went were captivated by her beauty.
Hmm~?
You seem to be liking this situation, considering youre even humming.
I didnt like attention when I was younger and only got used to it. Now that Im married to you, handsome husband, it feels different.
How so?
Hehehe!
Instead of answering properly, she gave out a despicableugh simr to the Addicted Spirit.
Did she eat something wrong?
Time passed surprisingly quickly.
This was thanks to the people giving way to us even though this famous restaurant already produced fish-shaped buns like a factory.
I didnt know why, but they seemed reluctant to have us standing behind them.
From themoners perspective, they probably feel like an emperor was standing behind them.
Im a Hero.
A Hero, in Fantasy, had aforting presence, not a burdensome one.
But the pure souls of earthlings seemed to think otherwise.
Isnt it because they dont know youre a Hero? There was that time when you became the cute emperor, and youre also a handsome man sculpted in Fantasy itself.
Is that so?
I decided not to think too deeply about it.
With the couples and tourists giving way to us, we were able to order in no time at all.
I remembered this ces menu being simple, but their avable options increased quite a lot after so many years.
Fish-shaped buns with other fillings instead of ck bean paste had been added to the list.
While I was looking at the menu, my cowardly wife conversed with a soft-spoken employee.
Hey Is he really your husband?
Yes. Isnt he handsome?
Huh? Yes! Thats right! Its like he came out of a dream
Whew! Thats a given!
For us, who didnt need nutrition, we only ate for pleasure, not survival.
The size of our stomach was also infinite, so we could enjoy it until we got tired of it.
Since my parents didnte here often, I ordered an amount that far exceeded two people.
Give me three of everything on the menu.
For takeout?
Dine-in.
Thats too many Uh, please take this queue ticket and wait.
After paying with the ck card I received from Factoria in the past, I headed to a ce filled with memories.
The restaurant we dined at was now gone, but at least this ce, where we shared a fish-shaped bun, was still open.
Where to sit
I remembered upying the table on the corner of the restaurant with her since it was suitable for young couples who were too shy to be in the center of attention of others.
Why did we even go on a school trip to this gloomy ce Hmm?
A beautiful mid-20s woman with short purple hair and a cute dress had already imed my desired spot.
She cupped her mug, which had warm steam rising out of it, with both hands. It was like watching a scene from a movie.
More importantly, I couldnt take my eyes off her beauty.
The first word that came out of her mouth didnt disappoint my expectations.
President?
Her voice sounded angelic.
Even the way her eyes widened to express her surprise was attractive.
If anything, the only problem was that I didnt know what her true name was.
Morality Teacher?
Yes. Why is the President here?
Thats what I want to ask you
Well, Im on vacation
I have a question for the both of you. My wife said in a cold tone from behind me, sending shivers down my spine. Though she had been smiling until recently, she now acted like an assassin lying in wait.
Was I in trouble?
A certain god hands out popcorn.
A certain restless demonic god urges the situation to unfold quickly.
A certain rxed deity loves this turn of events.
A certain innocent goddess feels excited.
A certain receptionist expresses sympathy.
This never wouldve happened unless a third party intervened.
The GGG-ss Hero, who didnt cower even in the presence of Demon Lord Pedonar, worked hard to find a way to ovee this crisis, which had been long overdue.
For now, I needed to buy time.
Hey, why dont we talk while we eat?
Thats Okay.
What makes you think Ill fall for your bread trap in this situation, husband?
I didnt know who the god responsible for this was, but I was determined to find out.
*****
I didnt believe in coincidence.
Some people were given bursts of good luck, almost as if to spite the efforts of others, but I thought they made an equivalent exchange in some way in a previous life or would be making one in the future.
My luck was made possible by the favor of the President of the Universe.
Since I was a living witness, I didnt trust the concept of coincidence. On the contrary, I considered it nothing more than a flimsy trick novelists employed to forcefully draw interest in the subject matter.
Simply put, it wasnt realistically possible.
Hmm. Where should we begin this discussion?
If you dont want to talk, then forget it.
We were seated in a triangr formation with a little gap between us around the circr table.
The ignorant males around us looked at me with envy, but they didnt know what I was going through.
Why was Morality Teacher here?
It wasnt just by chance that I met her here, who was on her vacation to meet her crush.
I didnt want to meddle in her affairs, but
I really wanted to know what was going on in her mind.
What are you doing, husband?
Because of Ssosias aura, who was eating the fish-shaped buns in a terrifying manner, I couldnt speak with ease.
Was this what they called a thorn-covered cushion?
Well, whatever this was, this was definitely not a good experience.
This might be hard to believe, Deputy Director Ssosia, and this is a bit embarrassing to admit, but this ce is filled with memories of the man I have a crush on
I mean, we met by chance. Isnt that right, Morality Teacher?
Yes She said, though she already seemed to have sensed it was no coincidence. She was staring at me ever so softly, after all.
Agh What should I do?
I knew I had to act like a man rather than a Hero in this situation, but my heart was already starting to feel heavy because of the gaps in my memories about meeting Morality Teacher in this ce being quickly filled.
We already knew each other even before we met as a student and trainee teacher in Fantasy.
Be strong, Kang Han Soo. Be a man and speak, even if it means being kicked out of the house.
As for what happened, Ssosia
Grrrrgghh!
The ground began to tremble.
Then came the cry of a being who spoke words that I wouldnt have understood if not for my skill that tranted allnguages.
Reveal yourself, you who trampled on my brother like a crucian carp! If you dont, Ill turn this into dust!
This was a mess.
I hadnt even seen its face yet, but the giant fins I caught a glimpse of outside the restaurants windows were already turning to dust.
What was it?
A certain demonic god tells a certain righteous divine being not to worry about it.
A certain innocent goddess disallows any interference.
A certain ignorant war god quietly sits down.
A certain god diligently pops crucian-carp-vored popcorn.
They were the ones that bothered me the most
Anyway, with peoples attention drawn away from us, I decided to use this opportunity.
Taking a deep breath, I confessed to my jealous, cowardly wife.
I think Morality Teacher is my first love.
The dice had been cast.
Chapter 442: [Extra] SSS-Class Barbarian (4)
Chapter 442: [Extra] SSS-ss Barbarian (4)
What about now?
Hmm?
Why?
Im amazed by how calm you are about this, Ssosia.
Hmph! You look down on me too much, husband! Im the Second Demon. I already knew from the beginning that I was your second love. I just didnt know who the first one was.
Ah
My jealous, cowardly wife taking this situation with so muchposure made me feel strange, but after hearing her reasoning, I understood.
Her curse put her second in everything.
Of course, that didnt mean she was the second strongest in the world, but being second in her life was like fate.
So, what about now? She asked again.
Just as calmly, I replied, I like her. You already know that, right?
But not because she was my first love. Rather, it was purely because of the time we spent together when she was still Trainee Teacher.
Ssosia nced at the proud Morality Teacher for a moment, pouting cowardly.
Dont lie to me.
Dont you trust me?
Hmph!
Snorting profusely, she ate up her remaining ck-bean-paste-filled fish-shaped bun.
Afterward, amid our conversation, she stood up with a bag full of fish-shaped buns that she had ordered as extra.
Ill be going now.
Se-e-e-ex!
The obscene stingray popped out of a gap in space.
Ill be back soon.
Hmph!
Pop!
Ignoring the earthlings eyes, my wife turned around and returned to Fantasy.
It made our surroundings a bit noisy, but no one directly meddled with us.
That alone told me Earth had be ustomed to the concept of fantasy.
Shall we walk for a bit, noona?
Ah! Sure!
Haha! Please speakfortably around me. Like back then.
But
Arent you on vacation?
Like Ssosia, I also acted without paying attention to the gazes around me.
After all, they would forget us the moment we left.
Like I did in the past.
Huh.
Well, we dont have much time. Lets go, shall we?
S-sure.
We followed the same route we took when she was still in college.
It wasnt even funny. Ipletely forgot about it, but wasnt I on a date with my cowardly wife?
Still, now I know.
This wasnt a trick done by a transcendent being like the Goddess of Destiny. And this wasnt a coincidence either.
Gap.
This was just like how ants couldnt see the entirety of a human body at a nce.
Back then, we walked along this famous street side by side.
Yes.
The only difference was
I held her small hand tightly.
Intimidated by my wife, she became withdrawn, but she was now gradually regaining her vigor.
Still, deep hesitation lingered in her hand.
I knew why.
If I had been a god back then, Id probably have a little daughter by now thats around the age of a college student, and shed resemble Morality Teacher.
Hih
As soon as she heard my words, she blushed and visibly panicked.
???A certain restless demonic god wants a certain righteous divine being to stop.???
???A certain innocent goddess watches anxiously.???
???A certain ignorant war god supports youth.???
???A certain god hands out popcorn joyfully.???
What were they expecting?
We walked in silence.
We werent as loud and rowdy as the couples around us, but our tightly sped hands were enough for us, just like in the past.
Still, I couldnt help but wonder if it felt different now that 30 years had passed.
Even without words, I conveyed what I wanted to say only with my facial expression and eyes. No, Morality Teacher probably had the same thoughts I did.
Were almost there.
Yes
The road might no longer be exactly the same as before, but we still managed to reach our final destination.
The hotel where I stayed.
I burst out in excitement when I saw this building during our school field trip, but now that I got another look at it, I finally realized how small and shabby it was.
Compared to President Kang Han Soos current house, of course, its shabby.
Oh! Did my expression tell you what I had in mind?
No. I just had a feeling.
Unlike in the past, her expression was brighter and no longer awkward.
It had been a long time since I had been on such a quiet date.
After all, I always started conversations by grabbing my opponents spine or pelvis.
I wanted to go all the way to the hotel, but now that I was the Righteous GGG-ss Hero, I had too many responsibilities on my shoulders.
Slip.
I slowly released her hand, even though she didnt seem to want to let go.
Hmm. So
President, may I ask for a favor?
Huh?
When someone bothers me again, can you be there for me once more?
My eyes widened.
Morality Teacher, avoiding my gaze, looked so lovely both physically and mentally that I wanted to hug her tightly.
I suppressed that urge, however, and answered with a smile instead.
As many times as you need me to.
Thank you.
Come on, Kang Han Soo. Muster up the courage to tell her!
If I passed up on this chance due tock of bravery, I could never call myself the GGG-ss Hero again.
I dont believe in nor expect eternal love. But if we dont do this right, our love wont end in happiness.
Ah
Please continue guiding me in the future, Morality Teacher.
Of course!
On that note, the secretary position
Sorry!
Well, then.
She didnt change a bit.
The same went for me.
???A certain restless demonic godins of frustration.???
???A certain innocent goddess is very impressed.???
???A certain ignorant war god secretly leaves.???
???A certain sea god appears with a hot fish-shaped bun.???
Even the noisy deities became silent.
Just because my memories of the past, which were sealed because of my low rank, had returned, it didnt mean I was no longer the GGG-ss Hero.
Nothing had changed.
You applied for four nights and five days of vacation, right?
Yes.
Rx and take it easy. Ill be going now.
Are you going to be okay?
I knew full well what Morality Teacher was worried about.
The incarnation of jealousy, Ssosia!
My cowardly wife went home quietly as if nothing happened, but shed be waiting for my return.
That much was clear even without looking at it.
Its okay.
If things started looking dire, I could just attack her pelvis.
*****
After returning home, I gave her plenty of love until she passed out and then quickly returned to the frontlines.
As the Righteous Hero.
I remembered Fugitive Seniors words.
Your home should be peaceful.
He who couldnt even protect his family had no business saving the world!
An ordinary male ruled by the 11th finger saving the world?
That was a joke even passing slimes would frown upon.
If it were that easy to aplish, anyone wouldve be a Hero by now.
However, few understood that simple principle.
Do what must be done! Just please stop that horny Hero!
The very person who defeated the Demon Lord himself has gone crazy!
Please save my daughter from the clutches of that savage!
How can he be so shameless?!
The universe was wide, and there were many Heroes.
Summons, reincarnation, regression, resurrection
They appeared through different methods, but they had one thing inmon: they started with fraudulent talent or unique skills.
Simply put, they werent picked based on their personality.
Controlling those who had be infinitely free after eliminating the Demon Lords threat was impossible.
This is Type B.
I categorized Heroes based on my experiences with them.
Type A put their beloved colleagues on a leash and locked them up in deserted inds or dungeons.
It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say they were born in Fantasy to mate.
Type O insisted on the world belonging to them because they were the ones that saved it.
Type AB had gone crazy because of how many spouses and children they had.
Type RH refused to defeat the Demon Lord, their main goal, and instead enjoyed their freedom right from the beginning.
There were also GL, BL, XXX, and XYY, but they all generally fell under the aforementioned five types.
The one before me was type B.
If not dealt with early, he was most likely to transition to bing Type AB after indulging himself in his fantasy.
As expected of someone like you.
Biologically, females were often Type A, while males were Type B.
Unable to tend to theints of all the handsome men they had collected, female Heroes were forced to make the extreme choice of confining theirpanions.
Meanwhile, male Heroes considered their ability to impregnate several beauties at the same time by themselves an overwhelming advantage, which was a manifestation of Type B.
O had an equal ratio of men and women, and AB, an advanced version of B, was dominated by men.
A lot of females were also Type RH since they didnt desire barbaric battles.
BL, GL, XXX, XYY
Just thinking about them hurt my head, so I decided to skip exining them!
Ugh! This smell is disgusting.
It wasnt hard to find the active Type B Heroes on rurals since after defeating their sworn enemy, the Demon Lord, those who belonged to that category often began to move out in the open, knowing full well no one could put a stop to them anymore.
He gathered all the beauties he had collected through his adventures in a spacious, luxurious mansion and diligently produced the next generation.
And numerous pregnant women were silently watching his frenzy with emotionless eyes.
There was no need to ask whose seed they carried.
There was only one man in this ce, after all.
Huh!
Ugh, ahhhh~
Tap tap tap.
The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed throughout the quiet garden.
Bold outdoor y? No, they were the only ones in this area. Hence, to him, there was probably no difference between indoors and outdoors.
Well, that reduced the time it would take for me to search for him by one second, at least.
Hey.
Who are you? You must have a death wishKeugh?!
Haha! Im Hero A! As I conveniently passed by your home, I decided to pay you a visit. It wont be a problem, right?
Kkhhhgh!
Thank you for your warm hospitality!
I greeted him with the Righteous Heros smile, which could make even the most arrogant beauty bow down before me.
Oh, no!
My hand slipped, causing me to identally put more strength into my grip.
What?!
Oh my god!
Type B Hero died in vain due to a minor ident, so I decided to clean up his mess.
There was no need to worry, however. I was the Righteous GGG-ss Hero, after all.
I was an expert in cleaning up messes.
I can guess why you youngdies rejected the courtship of many handsome men and married him instead.
I truly loved him
If you dont truly understand your reality and the situation youre in, please keep your mouth shut.
Where was I? Oh, yes. Marriage! You must have given your body and soul to this Hero in anticipation of familial glory and powerful descendants. But as you can see, hes already dead. Thats why I offer you an alternative.
I handed out the contract I had prepared in advance to the deceased Heros wives, then exined its contents.
This is an application for admission to the Fantasy Institution, which specializes in nurturing Heroes.
Heroes?

You can enroll your child, which will be bornter, or you can enter the school yourself. Doesnt it sound appealing?

As the Righteous GGG-ss Hero, I continued to run my own business to nurture and train my juniors into bing excellent Heroes!
