episode_0003

I thought I was going to die like this, but suddenly my frenulum burst and I regained my freedom.

“Gagging! Kek, kek!”

I rolled around on the floor making an ugly sound.

I nervously grabbed the arm that was as thick as my thigh and took a deep breath.

I really thought I was going to die.

I hate dying in vain before living a new life so much that it brings tears to my eyes.

“Hey, are you okay?”

I looked up when I heard someone calling me.

Then I made eye contact with the man who was riding a horse and was looking down at me.

He was wearing plate armor with a unique design and was armed with a magic rifle, a long sword, and a round shield.

The man who got off the horse held out his hand to me, and I took his kind hand and stood up shakily.

I felt like I was dying because my legs didn’t have enough strength, but fortunately, a man helped me up.

I am grateful that he saved my life, but I am also grateful that he is so considerate.

“I’m glad you’re safe. If I had been a little late, I would have been in big trouble.”

“Thank you for saving my life.”

I started by saying hello to the man who spoke in a historical drama-like tone.

If it wasn’t for this person, it would have ended one way or another.

As soon as I had some free time, I couldn’t overcome my curiosity and used my analysis skills on the man.

Level: 57

Name: Kane Dematran

Gender: Male

Race: Elf

Age: 42 years old

Status: noble

Occupation: Knight Commander

He is a strong person. And he is high.

In Arcadia, knights seem to be classified by occupation, like soldiers, rather than by status.

Politics and society are set automatically, so these are all unfamiliar to me.

Still, I know some things about the elves. Because I touched the settings.

The elves, like the humans, are a species belonging to humanity.

They are not biologically very different from other human races, except that their ears are long and pointed upward, they all have blond hair and green eyes, and their average height is the highest.

Elves love plants, so they make their houses out of wood and plant a lot of flowers and trees in their yards.

So, villages and cities where many elves live look like well-maintained forests from a distance, so it was said that elves live in the forest.

However, in the world I set up, the forest is very dangerous, so there can’t really be a village that lives in isolation in the forest.

Even if you actually move to the forest, you will quickly be destroyed by demons and other monsters.

“Rather, the person who should be thankful is me. If it weren’t for your actions, many people would have probably died. Thank you. Could you please tell me your name?”

Kane showed a humble attitude and expressed his gratitude to me, who was both a noble and a commoner.

He seems to truly care about people.

When I received a thank you from someone like this, I felt like it was worth risking my life to fight.

But my name? The real name doesn’t match Arcadia, so let’s use the character’s name.

“This is Rebecca Caron.”

“That’s a good name. Your golden eyes are truly exotic. Where are you from?”

“Actually, I have severe amnesia so I don’t remember much. I received help from people I met by chance, and I fought to help them because this was their village.”

I had no choice but to act with lies.

Since there is nothing good about being suspicious of those in power, such as nobles, it is safer to pretend to be a good citizen as much as possible rather than saying you are from another world.

“I asked a rude question. I’m sorry. If you had an ID card or a magic weapon possession permit, you could at least verify your exact identity. But maybe you don’t have that?”

“I searched through my luggage and clothes, but there was nothing like that.”

“It’s a shame. If you have to go to Franca, stop by the government office first and get a new ID card issued. I’ll tell you in advance, so don’t worry.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

It was great! Kane also seems to be a good person.

They would believe the words of a suspicious person like me and vouch for their identity.

Wait a minute, you’re not planning on doing me a favor and then exploiting me, right?

no. I’m sure he’s not that kind of person.

It’s not like I showed any great abilities in the first place.

“It’s nothing compared to the life you saved. Then I guess I’ll just go.”

Kane tapped my shoulder and returned to where his men were.

The knights followed Kane’s orders to put out the fire in the house and retrieve the bodies of the residents.

The body was immediately handed over to the bereaved family, and wailing sounds were heard everywhere.

‘Poor people.’

Seeing people crying makes me feel pity.

If I had joined the fight a little sooner, wouldn’t I have been able to save at least one more person?

There is no use in regretting it now, but I keep having regrets.

“It’s hard.”

I leaned against the wall, touching my still sore throat.

And then he loaded magic bullets into the empty chamber.

In this battle, 18 magic bullets were consumed.

I consumed less than I thought, but I feel anxious because I have so little money.

While I was reloading, I was surrounded by villagers.

When I used my analysis skills, I found that they were all ordinary villagers and children.

“Thank you! thank you! Please let me know your name.”

“My name is Rebecca Caron.”

When I told people my name, the villagers called my name and praised me.

Even though I couldn’t save everyone, I shed tears thanks to the village people who said thank you.

“Are you okay?”

A kid came up to me and worried. He must have been very scared too.

“It’s nothing. Thank you.”

I quickly wiped away my tears and stroked the kid’s head. He’s a really cute guy.

“Rebecca, these are the magic cores of the beast tribes you killed. The leader ordered Rebecca to personally take care of it.”

An ordinary soldier from the Knights handed me a small bag containing a magic core.

I don’t know exactly what a magic core is, but it looks like a transparent mineral with a blue tint.

“Magic core?”

“The magic core is like a lump of mana contained in the body of all living things, but the magic core of non-human creatures is purchased by the Adventurer’s Guild.”

I decided not to ask how to dispose of human magic cores.

I’m imagining something scary.

Anyway, it feels good to be able to make money.

So, should I do something to help the village?

“Our knights will clean up after you, so Rebecca, please rest.”

I was immediately stopped by a soldier.

It seems like Kane is very considerate of me.

The knights, along with the villagers, gathered the beast tribe corpses in one place, burned them, and repaired the collapsed buildings and fences.

It is said that the Knights Templar is a military organization that is in charge of security in the city where they are stationed and periodically patrols the surrounding area to defeat demons and provide support to the people.

The residents placed infinite trust in the Knights, and the Knights were kind to the residents.

Even in a dangerous world, it’s nice to see people still caring about each other.

After finishing their work, the knights headed to the camp prepared not far from the village entrance, and I was invited to the village chief’s grandfather’s house.

The house my grandfather lives in is the largest and strongest in the village, and it has a secret space in the basement, so it is said that it was used as a refuge when the village was attacked like today.

My grandmother, who had gone home before the village chief, suggested I take a bath first.

It is said that even in the midst of the chaos, they kept the water heated for me.

My whole body was soaked with sweat and blood and I felt uncomfortable, so it was good timing.

“Good, good. I feel like my body is melting.”

I really hate dirty things, so I set the cleanliness level to a timeless level.

So even in rural areas like this, there are water and sewage facilities and clean water comes out of the tap.

It is a truly satisfying result to know that thanks to me, people in this world can lead clean lives.

After I finished washing up, a feast of delicacies was waiting for me.

The richness I had set felt right.

I am so happy because I get to eat great food made with fresh ingredients.

After I finished eating a meal that I could taste the exquisite taste of my grandmother’s cooking, I lay down in my room alone and took some time to rest.

After experiencing how brutal Arcadia, the new world I would live in, was, I felt both fear and a spirit of challenge.

“I feel sleepy. Should I sleep right away?”

I decided to go to sleep a little early.

It looks like you’ve been through so much in one day that you’re mentally and physically exhausted.

I hope this isn’t all a dream.

It’s morning. I have to go to work.

no. What about going to work? Enjoy your new life!

I jumped out of bed and opened the window wide.

This is Arcadia!

This is the world I will live in from now on.

I got up and washed my face first. My face reflected in the old mirror is truly the best.

I think I know how people who are born with good looks live their lives.

“I prepared breakfast. How was your sleep?”

The village chief took care of me as soon as I came out of the room.

He said that the village survived thanks to me, and he was willing to give everything, including his liver and gallbladder.

The villagers offered to give me a reward, but I only received half of it.

I was not the one who received an official request, but I felt sorry for accepting all the money from people whose villages were destroyed and whose families were lost.

In return, it is no loss as we are receiving excellent treatment in many ways.

“Thanks to you, I slept well. But is the city of Franca nearby?”

“If you take a wagon, it takes about 12 hours. Our village is at the edge of the territory, so it’s a bit far.”

It is also convenient because I set things like time concepts and weights and measures to things I am familiar with. If you set old or unusual standards for no reason, you would only end up with a headache.

“It’s farther than I thought. Thank you for teaching me.”

“If you need anything else, please contact us at any time. Then rest in peace.”

The old village chief greeted me politely and went off somewhere.

As I was left home alone, I took my time leisurely.

There are a total of 7 skills I have acquired so far.

Combat skills are gun shooting, quick aiming, suppressive fire, and high-speed reloading, and non-combat skills are pain tolerance, analysis, and evasion.

Among the combat skills, gun shooting and suppressive shooting are skills that can be raised only by consuming magic bullets, and suppressing shooting requires magic bullets and enemies, so it seems difficult to raise them right away.

I plan to go to Franca, make money by disposing of magic cores, and after looking at the prices of magic bullets, decide how to raise my skill level.

Pain tolerance is too risky to raise the skill level now.

If you get injured in a rural area like this, treatment is difficult and you can even die from infection.

So this too is on hold.

As for analysis, what I have felt while looking around the village so far is that the level does not seem to increase simply by analyzing other creatures or objects.

I think I’ll have to go to Franca and find a solution for this as well.

Evasion is also a skill that I cannot level up on my own.

There is no way to increase your skill level by getting help from someone or risking your life directly against the enemy, such as suppressing fire.

Lastly, quick aiming and high-speed reloading are skills that can be practiced right away without spending any money.

You can practice quick aiming by targeting livestock or wild animals, and if you practice loading magic bullets as quickly as possible for high-speed loading, your skill level will increase.

To summarize, the skills that you need to constantly work on are quick aiming and high-speed reloading.

Also, it seems that raising my status will require constant effort, but I doubt whether I will be able to raise it properly.

However, since this is a new life that we have achieved, try not to give up.
