episode_0007

A woman wearing a cloak grabbed my shoulder as I tried to leave.

She tried to get out of his hands. How strong is your grip?

“Ugh…”

A painful sound came out of my mouth.

“Ah… I’m sorry. I must stop being mistaken..”

After realizing belatedly what he had done to me, I quickly pulled my hand away and apologized. There was no sign of regret on her face.

You can escape their clutches. I stepped back and watched the two men and women.

‘You just come here and do something like this? Rather… who is it?’

In the game world, 30 years had passed.

There was a high possibility that the NPC I knew had disappeared and another NPC was in its place.

Now, this could have been one of the events.

I couldn’t get angry right away.

However, it was not a situation that could be treated with respect.

“Who are you..”

When asked about his identity, the hooded man looked slightly embarrassed.

And that man wearing a hood… I remembered seeing it somewhere.

I don’t know the details of the face. I remembered the hood I was wearing on my head.

When I woke up here. The guy shouted in my ear.

It was definitely him.

After waking me up and not seeing me for a week, I thought he had left town.

Looking at what’s here, it looks like there’s a groove near the village.

“My companion was rude. We are adventurers who came to investigate this place.”

“Adventurer? Investigation?”

Let’s look with suspicious eyes at the man spouting out unknown words.

“Are you suspicious? Or, do you not know what an adventurer is?”

“I know.”

adventurer.

One of the jobs that is performed upon request from the Adventurer’s Guild.

Certain occupations had the advantage of being able to acquire the skills of all occupations, unlike only certain skills.

Of course, there were also disadvantages.

The maximum skill level is 30, but for adventurers, the maximum skill level is 10.

It was lacking compared to other occupations in terms of both power and skill.

Still, it showed incredible performance thanks to its ability to acquire all skills.

I also made my previous character ‘Ryuk’s profession an adventurer.

“Why is the adventurer in the beginner village?”

“That’s…”

“You don’t need to tell me. All you need to know is that we came here on request.”

“..”

The hooded man tried to talk about the request.

A woman wearing a cloak covered the man’s mouth.

From the looks of it, it didn’t seem like such an important request.

If it was something important, I wouldn’t have entrusted the request to a soft-spoken man.

So, what can I think about now?

“Are you doubting me?”

“How do you know..woooop!”

“You. Be quiet.”

The man said in surprise. The woman quickly covered the man’s mouth, but he could already hear.

“I didn’t do anything.”

“I know. But, maybe you haven’t done it yet.”

“..What on earth are you suspecting?”

“I can’t tell you that.”

Well, I don’t think you can go up to the criminal and say, “I think you’re going to commit a crime.”

It won’t be there at all.

However, it was impossible unless you had a lot of guts.

And the woman didn’t have that guts.

He has the guts to proudly scold the criminal in front of him and prevent him from doing anything in advance.

“If there’s nothing I can tell you, I’ll just leave.”

Let’s turn our backs and try to go back.

The woman called me again.

“Pause for a moment.”

I wanted to pretend I didn’t hear and ignore it, but I didn’t know what would happen if I did that.

If my level had been a little higher, I would have tried running or fighting.

My current level is only 3.

You never win.

“Why are you calling me?”

“You… where did you come up with that name.”

“What?”

name? I don’t know what that means.

“What do you mean?”

“The name Ryuk!”

“Ryuk? Why is this my name?”

“Where did you get that name!”

Where do you get your name from?

Any method of obtaining names could be used as long as they were not duplicated.

I don’t know if it’s a bug or something. Definitely my character. Even though there was ‘Ryuk’, it was possible to use a duplicate name.

‘It was deleted anyway.’

Just sleep.

Or maybe my character was deleted before that.

If that’s the case… all the items my character was wearing disappeared.

‘shit..!!’

What efforts have you made to obtain those items?

These were items that were strengthened with the credits (money) obtained by going through a tedious hunt for a whopping 30 minutes in a grind that could only be entered once a day.

“What’s going on? Your face doesn’t look good? As expected… you are planning something strange!”

The hooded man who saw my expression deteriorating in real time seemed to be trying to deal with it right away.

I tried to take out the weapon hanging on my waist.

“Wait.”

The woman dissuaded him.

“Roselnia. Look at that face now. It’s a face with some kind of plan. I need to deal with it right away.”

“I told you to wait.”

“But…”

“I told you to wait.”

“…I understand.”

The hooded man, unable to overcome the pressure from the woman named Rosellnia, had no choice but to put his weapon back.

‘Roselnia? That name was one of the names of an NPC I created before?’

At first, I tried to name it ‘Roselia’, but I made a typing mistake and it ended up being Rosellia.

“Now tell me about the name Ryuk. Where did you get it?”

Rosellnia looked at me and began to question me.

I want to run away, but it’s obvious that I’ll be caught soon. You can’t run away.

It’s just a name anyway.

Even if she mixed facts with lies, there was no way to know that she was lying.

“The name… I just got it from someone I know.”

“Anyone you know? Hey, maybe! Where is he now! Is he even alive?! Hurry up and tell me!!”

Roselia grabbed my arm and started shaking me.

My neck hurt from the strong shaking of my head.

“Now, wait… wait. I need to stop this…!”

“Ah.. I’m sorry. Because it stopped. Hurry up and tell me.”

I don’t know why Rosellnia is looking for ‘Ryuk’.

“Why are you looking for that person?”

“That person… He was my everything, my god, and the person I love the most. But one day. I left a message that I would be visiting for a while… . left us… .”

Rosellnia recalled the past.

*

In the past, there was an ordinary neighborhood kid who could be found in any town.

I wasn’t good at anything, and I didn’t know how to do anything.

A kid who can be seen everywhere, earning a living every day.

Fortunately, the village was wealthy, so I was able to avoid starving. It was just there.

Just don’t starve. It was never rich.

But that alone made the kid happy.

I thought it would be nice to continue to enjoy this kind of happiness in the future.

The kid’s happiness didn’t last long.

A counter wandering around town.

At first it was just one. Two later. The number increased to three, and before I knew it.

The number has grown to the point where it is impossible to count.

The villagers noticed it too late and tried to fight the counter.

It’s already late.

The counters started attacking before the villagers could even fight.

Even though the kid ran away for his life. In the end, I reached the limit of my physical strength and fell to the floor.

While lying down. A counter approached me with his mouth drooling. It was ready to eat the kid at any moment.

Out of sheer fear, the little boy cried and prayed.

‘Please… God… if there is a God… please save us…!’

The little boy begged and prayed.

However, there was no way God would grant the child’s wish.

Now was the time when I was about to give up on life.

Chop rock!

The counter that was drooling over the kid split into two and died.

“Huh..? What..”

“Are you okay? Now leave it to me.”

The back of the man seen at that time.

Men’s fight. And… the way he protects everyone.

Ah… that person…

That person was given to me by God… my god.

The man knocked down all the counters in an instant, walked towards the kid, and held out his hand.

“Are you okay? Don’t worry anymore. Because all the counters have been defeated.”

When I heard that he had been defeated, I lifted my head slightly and looked behind the man.

It was true. All the counters that had come rushing in at once fell to the floor.

“Of course….”

“As expected?”

This person… this person… was God who came down after hearing the little boy’s request.

The little boy quickly wiped his hands with his clothes and held God’s hand with his clean hands.

“God.. please make me.. strong..”

It was a ridiculous request, and one not worth accepting.

“Well.. okay. Let’s go together.”

God willingly accepted the little boy’s request. From the next day, I trained to become stronger.

Day by day, the little boy grew stronger and grew.

There was no longer any sight of the kid struggling with one counter.

At the same time, I secretly harbored dark intentions.

It felt strange not to embrace it.

He saved a village that was on the verge of ruin, and he saved lives without any hesitation, without asking for anything in return.

and. This is the most important.

God… looks quite cool.

“Ah.. my God.. today is also wonderful. Ugh… I drooled without even realizing it.”

It happened frequently that I quickly grabbed my underwear and went into the bathroom, wiping the drool from the corner of my mouth.

He was that kind of person.

He was the God who changed the little boy’s life and gave him a new life.

*

“So, I will definitely find it.”

“Ah. Yeah..”

When I saw her strong eyes, I almost took a step back without realizing it.

“I don’t know either. I just heard that he was leaving somewhere. I’ll tell you to contact me when we meet later.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Rosellnia expressed her gratitude and left.

I was left alone at the entrance to the training ground until the sight of the man and woman completely disappeared.

We returned to the home where Ray and Ney were waiting.
