I woke up to the sound of birds singing in my ears and realized that I was lying in the forest.

Obviously me.

ah. I was sucked into Ganshu’s scroll.

After remembering what had happened, I got up and stretched.

First, let’s check the physical condition.

Although I woke up from exhaustion, I was in a state of considerable recovery compared to the last time I faced the evil spirit of fire.

Because the person I was then and the person I am now are fundamentally different.

If it is natural, is it natural?

At this level, moving and fighting would not be a big problem.

It would be difficult if there was a situation where you really had to exert your full power.

what. Because that doesn’t happen here.

Next is the equipment. There is armor. There is a shield. There is no mace.

Is there nothing we can do since my grandfather remains over there?

Feeling regretful, I took out a new mace from my inventory and took in the sight of the forest.

I think I know where I am now. If you take the normal route here, there won’t be any problems.

But when I think of that little boy’s face, I want to surprise him a little.

Don’t ruin my ordeal! I want to shout out the same thing.

I was wondering if it would be possible with my current specs, and decided with a smile that it was quite possible.

Even based on the game, I have over-specs right now.

There’s no reason not to.

After I finished thinking, I immediately moved my feet.

Ganshu’s Trial is a place to see whether the person undergoing the trial is qualified to confirm history.

There are three main things to evaluate. First of all, you must have the ability to be engraved in history.

Without this ability, it would be impossible to even check the correct history.

Next is goodness. Only those who see the various things engraved in history and do not abuse them are qualified to check history.

Lastly, curiosity. Only those who can rush to see what is happening in the world can receive Ganshu’s approval.

Originally, Ganshu’s trials made one experience a small world within a scroll in order to check these elements. The evaluation is based on the various actions taken there.

To change this a little, if you know what kind of action brings what kind of evaluation, you can destroy Ganshu’s original assumption.

In the game, no one said anything even if you passed like this, but what happens in real life?

Looking at the way he looked like a child with a dirty personality, I don’t think he would just stay still.

As I run through the forest, I notice the plants, animals, and monuments found here and there one by one. Actions to meet the minimum required curiosity score.

Then, from afar, boom! The moment I heard the sound, I ran to the place where the sound came from without any hesitation.

The terrible smell of something rotting.

An atmosphere that makes one feel rejected in the realm of instinct.

A sound like an insect crawling. And above all.

An uneasy energy spreading from the place where all of this started.

At the place I arrived at, trying my best to ignore the growing skin, there was something once called a fairy.

A being born in nature and telling the story of nature on its behalf.

These people seek attention with overflowing playfulness.

However, its essence was so good that it was a life that brought laughter to those nearby.

And now, instead of laughing, it has become a monster that moves to deliver screams.

“Queu. ha. Hehe. Ha.”

In front of the sound of laughter tickling my ears, there was a man who had fallen backwards.

The person, who was shaking and throwing the ax he was holding on the floor, seemed unable to think of the word ‘run’ itself.

If he were left like that, everything he had in his head would be taken away by the man who was a fairy.

Not in a metaphorical sense, but in a physical sense.

I was confident that seeing that scene would make me vomit, so I took a deep breath and released the spirit to my surroundings.

“Wow♡ What it looks like is no joke♡ It’s really disgusting♡”

Having caught the attention of the fairy, I raised my shield as I saw the other person running towards me while making a sound that was close to a scream.

It’s very easy to deal with irrational enemies.

Not thinking means moving in the way I know.

I bounce away the flailing nails. Digging inside. Slash with a mace imbued with divinity.

I was preparing for the next step, considering the possibility of not being knocked down by a single blow, but that was an unnecessary action.

When his head was smashed by my mace, it turned into ashes and scattered on the floor.

The man who had been attacked by the fairy looked at my face in silence.

Seeing his stupid expression, I raised the corners of my mouth in pride.

“What are you doing?♡ Did you pee your pants?♡ Puhahaha♡ You’re as pathetic a coward as you look♡”

“…Yes?”

“If you have the strength to talk nonsense, why don’t you run home?♡ It smells so bad that it’s completely unappealing.♡ Is the ugly guy by any chance a slob who needs to be held by his hand and carried home?♡”

“C. Of course not! However, I.”

“Then it will disappear quickly♡ The smell of you is absolutely disgusting♡”

After seeing a man with a red face licking his lips and running away, I applied a buff behind him and then moved toward the next one.

There was still a lot to do.

The trials Ganshu created for himself were to throw people into the past history he recorded and evaluate their various qualities.

The ordeal created by Ganshu after much deliberation to determine whether the person is qualified to check history in an extreme situation gives meaning to each person’s actions and derives an evaluation by assigning a score.

Until now, Ganshu had never doubted the ordeal he had created.

The results that came out of this ordeal were similar to the conclusions that Ganshu came to after looking at that person for a long time.

But today. The moment the variable named Lucy Alln came before his eyes, Ganshu began to doubt his ordeal for the first time.

An arrogant and cocky little boy.

A child so arrogant that you can’t help but laugh when you’re around him.

However, he can never deny that the path he has walked so far is infinitely noble and honorable.

This person allows us to naturally understand why the Lord chose that person.

Ganshu did not think that Lucy Aln would not be able to overcome her ordeal.

Because Lucy already had qualifications.

The fact that he first said that he wanted to write Lucy’s heroic story proved that Lucy was qualified.

If Lucy Alln had not had such abilities, would Ganshu have approached her first with red eyes?

If Lucy Alln had shown a clear example to Ganshu, Ganshu would have skipped over the ordeal and given Lucy what she wanted.

So, it was not surprising that Lucy stood out during the ordeal.

“…How?”

The appearance she is showing now cannot be simply described as being eye-catching.

Lucy Alln moved as if she knew all the scores that Ganshu had assigned during the trial.

By being conscious of every little glance or action, I accumulated points to pass the ordeal.

This wasn’t the only surprising thing.

She clearly saw everything that happened during Ganshu’s trials.

What happens in the forest?

What should I do to solve the case?

What should I do after completely solving the case?

Lucy Alln gave an answer as if she knew more about the ordeal than Ganshu.

And the answers all pointed to a clear correct answer.

“Haha. This is my first time seeing Ganshu so embarrassed.”

Ganshu raised his head following the sound of cool laughter and frowned when he saw Ruel’s smile.

“You’re talking as if you knew it would be like this.”

“Then Ganshu didn’t know? If you’ve been watching Lucy’s movements so far, I thought you would have guessed it to some extent.”

“That’s an earthly thing, isn’t it?”

It is completely understandable that Lucy Alln’s eccentricities are reflected in the many things that happen on earth.

The great Lord is lurking behind her.

But not here.

Even as a main god, it is impossible to intervene in the trials taking place in Ganshu’s domain.

It also conveys everything about the world that he put so much effort into creating.

“I didn’t know that it was Lucy Aln’s own ability and not the help of the Lord.”

Ganshu turned his gaze toward the scroll with a frown and quietly watched Lucy Aln move.

If I keep going at that pace, she will soon overcome my ordeal.

In a completely different way than I thought.

“Hmm.”

It is true that I do not like this situation.

After that little boy passed the ordeal.

‘Is this really an ordeal? Maybe it’s because the kid created the ordeal, but the difficulty level is just for kids.’

‘It was really hard to sleep. ‘I almost fell asleep in there and it was dangerous?’

When I think about people saying the same thing, I feel feverish.

However, this is just my feeling.

If you have passed the ordeal in some way, it is right to think of it as the correct answer.

only.

I wonder how far I can go.

“Luel. You said Lucy Aln could overcome any challenge, right?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“If it doesn’t go against your conviction, don’t question what I’m doing now.”

Ganshu said so and unfolded his power inside the scroll.

The world of trials that originally existed is gradually changing.

“Because there will be a deserved reward at the end of the new ordeal.”

*

I stopped when I felt chicken flesh growing on my skin.

Dark clouds hanging in the sky turn the world upside down.

The slightest noise of the forest disappears in an instant.

An ominous feeling eats away at the vitality felt in the forest.

Something that didn’t exist in the game was happening in the world.
