by adminA strong and strong morning!
Sunlight poured in through the hole in the crypt that had been drilled to allow the smoke to escape.
For the first time since I was possessed, I woke up feeling fine instead of fainting, so I feel so refreshed.
What’s more, as soon as I open my eyes, the sight I see is Ariel lazily basking in the sun. Unfortunately, my partner, who is now gone, was not able to show off his 18cm tall figure, but instead, my lower abdomen felt numb.
hmm. Instead of morning erection, it’s called morning heat.
“Nothing happened, right Ariel? Thank you.”
I reached out my hand and gently brushed Ariel’s hair as she was guarding the fire. It’s like a cat hiding its face as it gently pushes its head discreetly in response to the stroking hand.
Thanks to Ariel, who kept the flame from going out all night, I was able to greet the morning without freezing. Even if the fire had cooled down just a little, my body, which had less resistance to disease than that of a newborn, would have caught a really bad cold.
“Ariel. Could you wait at the door for a moment? I’ll take a shower and leave soon.”
Although I fucking love Ariel, showing my naked body is a different matter. First of all, I have never seen myself naked before, so what kind of confidence would I have to show Ariel my hideous appearance?
Even if you look at it clearly with such sorrowful eyes, you can’t do it. What if I lose my mind…
After sending Ariel out, he poured in all the remaining firewood and started a fire. My fever was so high that I was sweating profusely, but my body cooled down while I was taking off my clothes, washing, and doing laundry, so I couldn’t even imagine how long I would suffer if I caught a cold.
Using Avalon, I took off the robe that was starting to stick to me with sweat and the tunic that covered my thighs. Taking off clothes without being able to use one arm is much more difficult than you might think, even if someone helps you. Even more so if it’s a really big snake that isn’t even a human.
“Fuck you. It’s so damn dirty.”
Pus and fluid from the crushed skin and rotting flesh stain the tunic.
I was afraid to see myself, but I created a large water droplet with magic and observed my naked body.
“Is this… me?”
There wasn’t one either. An old friend of mine who has been with me for nearly 30 years. For a moment, my legs gave out and I stumbled, but thanks to Avalon, I was barely able to hold on. Although I had already accepted it mentally, I could not dare express in words the shock I saw with my own eyes.
TS…? It’s a genre that I occasionally picked up from Hitomi… It’s a genre where the male protagonist realizes the pleasure of being a woman and enjoys being corrupted by a female, but I never wanted to be corrupted by a female.
So what should we do? Should I at least put it on through body modification? Fuck, I didn’t want to just end up as a bitch. I didn’t want to betray my loyalty to my long-time partner, and more than anything, I was going around wearing something that belonged to another man? Well, doesn’t that sound too shitty…
For now, I’ll just have to live as I can. When you come to a new world, you must naturally have new values. New values are created by accumulating new experiences.
Since he was not a newborn, his previous values would have an impact, but I could not care about the problems that arose as a result. Complain to the crazy bitch who put me here.
TS I forced myself to swallow down my anger and took a close look at my whole body. Even though I don’t care about the emotional wounds, the physical wounds can be serious if left unattended.
She’s definitely a beauty.
It was a beauty that anyone could recognize as it was customized to perfectly reflect my taste. If you only look at the healthy parts.
The distorted skin covering half of the face ran down the neck and covered various parts of the body, and the area around the side and one side of the chest were rotting and oozing out pus.
The good news is that the effect of the elixir still remains and the debuffs are suppressed, so the pain is not that great, and the unfortunate thing is that this is the extent of what is being suppressed.
Using warm water, I gently scrubbed and washed the dirty parts of my body, and I used Avalon to pat and wash my tunic and black robe.
“ugh. Look at the trash coming out.”
As I rolled around on the floor on a rainy day, it was natural, but a disgusting amount of scum spewed out. Even if it’s not me, I could become a great infectious disease patient if I wear that for a few days.
I patted and washed it until no more scum came out, used dehydration magic to remove the moisture, and then put it back on.
Now I have to go to work… I wonder if someone will give me food if I rest…
———-
Subjugating the goblin village was not that difficult. More than half of the goblins capable of combat were lost by me, and the only ones left in the village were old, young, and female goblins, a small number of troops, and a few ruling class goblins. Since they already had plenty of zombie goblins as the front line, all that was left was to repeat tasks that were close to simple labor. Collision, killing, reviving.
The result was a clean massacre. By gathering dust, I was able to build up quite a solid karma called Taesan. Although the Goblin Chief was annoyed, he sent Avalon to deal with it lightly. Now, only the skeleton remains standing behind me.
If I had known that my talent was this high, I would have been a catastrophe the moment I discovered the village, but there was definitely a significant gap between the simulation in my head and the actual experience. I’m glad that the gap has been bridged now.
“I think it was around here… Oh fuck.”
Traces of a completely ruined village were visible on a fairly large site. The few wooden fences left were rotting, as if they had been torn down by goblins, and all the houses made of bricks had collapsed, leaving only traces visible.
Even if it is ruined, it will already be ruined in the evening. When we went inside and looked, only old blood stains remained and not even the common white bones remained. They must have taken it and ate it all.
I searched here and there, but I couldn’t find anything but dust. These bastards are like a swarm of locusts. How did they get it off so cleanly?
My life is like that. I have never felt so lucky in my life. When I was a child, I never won more than the third prize even when I drew a cheap 100 won lottery ticket at a stationery store, and even when I played a gacha game on a mobile game, I always found myself hitting the ceiling. That damn bad luck follows me even into the game and bothers me…
In the end, I gave up looking for anything and approached a building that looked like a small shrine. Of course, it was old and dilapidated, but the altar offering sacrifices and the stone statue in front of it, although old, were clean and without a speck of dust. As if there was some kind of protection.
The stone statue was in the shape of a man wearing a robe. The face was not properly depicted, and he was holding a staff in one hand and a lamp in the other, and when he got closer, an unknown warmth warmed his body.
I don’t know who that stone statue is and why it is being enshrined. The people of this village also have a tradition of worshiping people since their distant ancestors, so they have been doing so all along. I am just a ‘wanderer’s lantern’. I needed that lantern in the stone statue’s hand.
‘Wanderer’s Lantern’. Excluding the basic clothing and equipment given when creating a character, it is the only item that can be obtained without cost and is a key item in progressing the main story. It doesn’t mean you can’t proceed without it, but it’s such an annoying item.
The function was beyond simple and had only one function. When the energy of the ancient god’s fragment is felt, it glows. The detection range wasn’t that wide, but when something bad happened, I could take out the lantern and find out if it was caused by a fragment of an ancient god or if I was just unlucky and got caught up in something bad.
“Hey. Set the table. No, I have to do this with my own hands.”
First, we gathered wild flowers that we picked up along the road, lit them on fire, and made incense. After that, they unpacked the supplies looted from the goblin village and placed them one by one on the altar. Hongdong Baekseo. It’s coordination. What else was there?
Red fruits are placed in the east, and light-colored fruits are placed in the west. Unidentified meat was also roasted over a fire and placed on the altar, and dried fish was also placed next to it. There was no alcohol, but instead, he created clear water beads using magic.
They’re all left lying on the altar without any dishes, but this is the best I can do right now. Sincerity is more important than form.
In the original game, you would perform a traditional ceremony with the village chief and receive the ‘Wanderer’s Lantern’, but of course I don’t know how to do that, so I interpreted it in Korean style as I wanted. It’s better than doing nothing.
Originally, I was an extreme atheist, but this was a game world, so I had to be careful. Even if we don’t know God as omnipotent and omnipotent, there are things that transcend humans.
After setting the table, I carefully stepped back, straightened my posture, bowed twice, then bowed my head and meditated for a moment. In my memory, there was a process of passing the drinking glass, moving the chopsticks, and raising the bow a few more times, but I couldn’t remember and wasn’t in a position to do so, so I boldly omitted it.
“I will use the lamp to do good things. In fact, even if you try to use it for bad things, it doesn’t have much function.”
If I let Avalon ask for it, I might get scammed, so I put my staff down on the ground for a moment, reached out, and carefully took the ‘Wanderer’s Lantern’ out of the statue’s hand.
Something thrilling! I thought there would be something like that, but there was nothing.
The end of the old tree cane was modified to raise the lamp and secure it tightly.
It reminds me of Jack in the canyon that I used to enjoy a lot in the past…
Anyway, I packed everything I needed to pack, so I carefully left the shrine.
I glanced back at the stone statue, and even though it didn’t have a carved face, I felt something… smiling.
Because I like that feeling. I also smiled at him.
“I’m doing well. I’ll come back later if I remember.”
The cool breeze feels good.
