The cliff wall.

It’s been a while since I climbed that wall…

I was able to get up.

and-.

It was only on the way up that I noticed a feeling of discomfort in my body.

I didn’t notice it because I felt the heat in my body…

Now I was naked.

“Why… ?”

Why am I naked?

Did I take off my clothes without realizing it?

but-.

There was nothing like that in my memory. Even if I had lost my mind, I wouldn’t have had the habit of taking my clothes off.

I was a little embarrassed.

still-.

“Well, it doesn’t matter.”

This is the realm of the Lord of the Forest.

A place where humans do not enter and leave without permission.

So there is no need to encounter anyone. I thought it didn’t matter if I was naked.

“I guess I’ll have to deal with that damn bastard first. That bastard.”

I still remember it.

The gaze of the ogre I saw when I fell off the cliff. He looked at me as if I were beneath him, and seemed to be annoyed at just missing out on his prey.

When I looked at that gaze again, I felt feverish.

“Now… It’s quite possible.”

Ogre.

I didn’t do any serious damage to that guy. All I could do was stab my eyes.

Even though it couldn’t have been a fatal wound.

however-.

It was different now.

This vitality I feel in my body.

It was not unfounded confidence.

It awakened the mana that was sleeping in the Danjeon. A vast amount of mana flowing through the entire body.

“It is possible.”

The authority of sword masters only.

Auror.

It was an energy one level higher than mana.

If mana was compressed as much as possible, it was a newly transformed power. Because it was compressed, everything from density to strength was different.

I collected mana with my hands and compressed it.

OK-.

“It works!”

A brilliant aura was created in my hand.

It is similar in color to blue mana, but in a darker form.

This was enough to deal with the ogre.

“Now I have to find him.”

I straightened my ears and sharpened my senses.

And I was able to sense another change.

The detectable distance has increased significantly compared to before. It felt as if I had exploded.

“It’s closer than you think.”

A feeling of energy that can be felt.

It was a monster.

He is as big as an ogre.

what… It must be an ogre.

I headed there first.

And soon-.

Should I say yes?

There was an ogre there with a wound on one eye. One eye was closed, as if the spear I had stabbed had been pulled out.

It makes me smile.

I was honestly nervous when I saw it before, but now…

‘I can take it down.’

I felt that confident.

but-.

I didn’t have a weapon right now.

I roughly picked up a tree branch and was about to deal with it-.

‘I think you can do it with your bare hands, right?’

I thought there was no need for a weapon.

My body has become much stronger than before.

I couldn’t guarantee it, but I guessed that my current skin would be compared to that of an ogre.

That means there is no need for a weapon.

I wanted to compete with my bare hands once.

Well, I made that choice because I never thought I would lose.

I confidently walked towards the ogre.

He didn’t do anything to hide his presence.

Maybe that’s why the ogre quickly found me and rushed towards me. It’s as if he recognized me and got angry.

“Keuawow? Big!!!”

The ogre that rushed towards me swung its fist at me. I too wrapped my aura around my fist and threw it out.

however-.

Honestly, the results turned out to be worse than expected.

A fist fight between a human and an ogre.

Even though it should have been humans who were pushed out, the ogres were instead pushed out. About two steps.

I had no choice but to laugh.

“I… You haven’t given up on humans, have you?”

I had a rough feeling about it, but I never thought it would be like this.

The ogre also looked very embarrassed.

Once again the ogre swung its fist at me. I braced my legs, intending to dodge slightly.

however-.

“What is it?”

In an instant, the distance between the ogre and the ogre widened.

I really thought I applied a little bit of force. The leap distance was farther than I thought.

It’s hard to adjust to a body that has changed so much.

“… No, it might actually have worked out well.”

Since there was an opponent in front of me, I thought that it would be easier to adapt to my changed body after some actual combat. But did he realize that I was trying to use him?

Otherwise, did he instinctively sense the difference between me and become frightened?

The ogre turned its back and began to run away.

Thinking that I couldn’t let go of my enemy, I quickly gave up my strength. With a leap of all his might, he reached the ogre’s back in an instant.

“If you’re going to run away, just end it.”

This guy put me on the verge of death.

Remembering my anger towards this guy, I swung my fist with all my might. The aura naturally wrapped around my fist, and was released as soon as I punched it.

Kwakagagak-.

this… Is this the power I have now?

Unbelievable.

Ogre attacked.

A large hole appeared in the middle of its back.

Is that all?

Even the bushes and trees that had blocked the ogre’s path lay down due to the pressure.

“This… You can’t use it carelessly on humans, right?”

With this much power…

If it’s enough to pierce an ogre’s skin and leave a huge hole…

If a person was hit, there was a high possibility that they would be turned into mush. I had no confidence in seeing such a grotesque scene.

“… Let’s go back for now.”

I held the hand of the lying ogre.

Big hands.

Even if I did catch it, it was only in the form of me holding my thumb.

Dragging the ogre, I began to return to the cabin.

“Can I become a rebel now?”

If you join the rebels with the strength you gained this time.

It suddenly occurred to me that I was one step closer to revenge.

.

.

.

“Huh… . I’m really not dreaming… .”

Master looked at the ogre’s corpse and me for a long time. Then his eyes turned to my crotch.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

When I remembered that I was now naked, I quickly covered my crotch.

Master came up to me and pulled my cheek.

“Huh? ”

Because I pulled my cheek, my pronunciation was messed up, but Master understood me properly.

“I just checked to see who covered your face with leather.”

Master let go of the ball.

“Anyway, I can’t believe it. It suddenly changes like this. What on earth happened?”

“… Let me explain everything.”

Once I sat down.

I told the whole series of events. It was because I didn’t really feel the need to lie.

Master, who was quietly listening to my story.

When he heard the word ‘Samigwa’ come out of my mouth, he jumped up from his seat.

“You were so crazy that you wanted to die!!!”

At those words, I bowed my head.

Because I knew what I did was wrong…

That’s why I couldn’t say anything else.

“I told you not to be nervous, but you got greedy. You almost died because of that greed. This incident was just luck, and it was definitely not a good thing.”

I nodded.

Because what Master said was right.

There was no excuse.

I apologized with my shoulders slumped.

“… We apologize for the inconvenience.”

“It is done.”

Master placed his hand on my shoulder.

“Anyway, I got a chance. Congratulations. It seems like heaven is helping you get revenge.”

At those words, I was filled with excitement.

“Then, are you allowing me to become a rebel!”

“… That’s how it should be. I swore I would never be able to do it… .”

I was happy.

It feels like I’m one step closer to revenge.

However, my expression hardened as I heard Master’s next words.

“Just! It is not possible right now.”

“Yes? Isn’t that obvious? I also need time to visit the rebels… ”

Master shook his head.

“You will become a rebel in half a year.”

“Yes? Why? Didn’t you promise? To be honest, I’m still in a very urgent state!”

“… There is a reason for everything.”

“What on earth is the reason…? !”

Master helped me stand up.

And he threw a spear at me.

“Try it once.”

“Yes?”

“It doesn’t matter if you give it your all, I told you to give it a try.”

I heard it was coming.

Now I-.

It has become strong enough to easily deal with ogres.

Even Master wouldn’t be able to deal with me lightly now.

Angered by the current situation, I swung my spear at Master.

The results came out soon.

In the end, I had no choice but to kneel in front of Master.

Because the difference between me and Master was evident.

“You can say that your strength and physical abilities are better now. But you haven’t adapted to that power yet.”

“… That’s right.”

As Master said.

I still couldn’t control my body’s strength.

I don’t even know how far it is to jump with all my might.

“Force that you cannot handle is not a solution. Appropriate force control is also necessary. So, I plan to teach you how to control your strength.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t make that face. If they think it’s okay, they’ll send it to you before half a year has passed.”

“Yes? Is it true?”

“Instead, it will be such a difficult time that you will die.”

“I have already made my resolution.”

If you trained to become stronger before…

Now I have started training a new concept called force control.

***

One month later.

After going through hell a few times, I was able to adapt to my body.

“Okay then, let’s go. Master!”

Now it was time to leave to become a rebel.

Master Erickson turned his back on me and did not even pay attention to me. I know why.

Because they weren’t very happy about me leaving.

“Lastly, please show at least your face… .”

Although I was a little disappointed, I kept walking.

however-.

“… It’s okay sometimes, so come visit me anytime.”

The sound of words coming from the teacher with his back turned.

Only then did a smile appear on my face.

“Yes! Then I said it wrong. I’ll be back!”

“Okay.”

So I set out to become a rebel, the cornerstone of revenge.
