[ Status Window ]

Name: Theo (Kim Min-seong)

Age: 20 years old

Occupation: [Hidden] Villager

… ?

“What is this?”

To be honest, I’ve thought it would be better if only one villager remained, because I thought it was annoying.

I’m sure I’ve thought about that before, but no matter what, I’m just going to suddenly go back to being a villager?

At least I thought about [Hidden] some really awesome villager, but wow, you can’t even be bothered to do that anymore?

Occupation: [Hidden] Villager

No matter how much I washed my eyes and looked again, the hidden thing was still there in front of me, and I became a villager.

Is this… Are we supposed to start rebuilding from the villagers? At this point?

“Okay… What did you expect from this job?”

I shouldn’t have had any expectations from the beginning, but when they said they’d give me a useless hidden job, I got excited and started to have expectations without realizing it.

“… I guess I should look at the stat window.”

I remember you saying that you would show me the stat window when I level up this time, so I bring up the stat window while hoping that it would be a little less annoying.

[Stats window]

Strength: 10 (+2582) Agility: 10 (+502)

Magic: 10 (+2054) Luck: 10 (+3781)

Huh…? Wait, what is this?

First of all, it seems like all the main stats are some fucking number called 10.

What are all the pluses at the end…?

Except for agility, all other values are far superior to the previous one.

This is not a number that can be simply ignored.

Even in the dating simulation game Destruction, there were things like status windows and stat windows where you could see the character’s growth levels to some extent. When the main character’s ability reached its maximum level there, it was around 3,000.

No matter how much I raised the maximum, I didn’t think I could go any higher than that unless I used an illegal program like an editor, so I used to give up, thinking that was enough…

“They say that the luck stat is 3791… ”

If you have luck, you tend to get relatively fun events or events that are good for achieving a happy ending, so I used to try to raise my luck as much as possible, but I never thought that my luck stat had already gone far beyond that level.

Of course not, shit.

I thought it would be at most 100 or so!

No, I don’t even know why they’re giving me such incredible stats, even though I’m not even the main character and just a villager.

Or… are there some parts that have been adjusted differently from the game?

Right now, I can only see my stats window or status window, and I can’t see the status windows of the main characters, Iris or Estelle.

If I could see other people’s things, I would compare them, but when I actually come in here, I can’t do that, so I feel a bit frustrated.

… But realistically, even if there are some adjustments, can a stat that has risen so overwhelmingly be weak?

“Where on earth do those pluses come from…?”

All I have are a few achievements for preventing bad endings, right?

[ Achievements ]

Can’t you do anything alone?

n All stats +5

I’ll take you!

n All stats +5

Your country sucks

n Total stats +15

Let’s work hard together

n All stats +5

If you add up all the plus stats given from achievements, it only amounts to about 30.

Then where does the plus 2542 attached to power come from…?

“Oh, that’s really rude. You need to know where the plus comes from so you can focus on it! ”

Looking at the fact that they added this to indicate that there is a plus point, I wonder if other things would also have plus content added in this way.

No matter how much I look for it, I can’t see anything like it anymore.

“Ah, I don’t know. Well, I guess I’ll know once I try anything, whether it’s getting a title or getting a job promotion.”

First of all, we don’t even know where it comes from, so there’s no reason to bother figuring it out and wondering what it is.

Things like this are something you learn naturally over time.

I just, for some reason, have really strong stats, so I think I can live without worrying too much from now on.

So, even if someone picks a fight or something, I can easily blow them away, and I have confirmed numerically that I can stop Iris or Estelle from going wild right away.

Of course, I don’t know how strong Estelle and Iris will be.

Every time we spar, he might just lose, or he might just be too strong for me to handle.

“But even so, isn’t he too strong for a villager…?”

If the majority of the townspeople generally have this level of skill… hmm, those aren’t just townspeople, they’re military weapons.

“Ha, I don’t know. Let’s go to sleep.”

I guess I was one of those really cool townspeople.

It’s a bit harsh to say this, but wasn’t that the exact same job title before?

And if I think about it, it seems like my stamina and strength definitely increased with each promotion.

I’m not sure, but I think it’s definitely because there are a lot of plus stats attached to jobs and such.

Actually, it was originally a few hundred before the hidden job came out, but it may have increased to a few thousand after the hidden job came out.

Right, right. Yeah, even though he’s just a villager, he’s actually a Hidden Villager.

Hidden villagers are originally hard to find. Well, well.

“… .”

It seems like I’m rationalizing it to my own advantage, but… that’s just how life is.

That’s life, you can’t survive without rationalization.

***

As Theo finished rationalizing and fell asleep, a woman was sitting on the rooftop, looking up at the sky.

“I want to go to Theo.”

Estelle was wearing thin everyday clothes, not a school uniform.

Her everyday clothes were mostly the clothes she wore to show off her appearance as a saint in the Holy Empire, so they were very white and had a flashy feel.

“… The school uniform is more comfortable.”

Normally, it would be natural for everyday clothes to be more comfortable than school uniforms, but that wasn’t the case for her at all.

“Ah, I want to hit the saint.”

Estelle was primarily an academy student, but as she was also a saint, she had to make time to visit the Holy Empire from time to time.

Of course, for Estelle, who could use movement magic over very long distances, movement itself was not a big problem.

“… I guess I’ll have to see that person I hate again.”

Seonghwang is introduced to people as a kind person with a bright smile, but he has a lot of dark things inside.

That was one of the biggest reasons why Estelle didn’t want to go to the Holy Empire.

I didn’t like seeing her laughing and smiling in front of people, and I was annoyed that she only showed her dark inner thoughts in front of me just because she was a saint.

So, from a young age, Estelle had done everything she could to avoid being deposed from her position as a saint.

The incident of running away with Duncan was one of the things that made her position most dangerous, but since there was no one with the divine powers to be worthy of a saint like Estelle, she was eventually found and put in her place.

‘If Theo had divine powers, he would have definitely tried to capture him, right?’

Estelle thought it was a blessing, thinking of how outstanding Theo’s abilities were.

If he had more divine power than Estelle, he might have been kidnapped and lived a life called a saint since childhood.

“That’s horrible.”

When he thought that Theo had to go through what he was going through, he thought that it was fortunate that he had so much divine power.

“Was it tomorrow?”

I had a great time with Theona and Iris over the weekend, so I didn’t want to go even more.

Estelle had been thinking of showing up once during the vacation, but it seemed that the Holy Empire had no intention of allowing it, so instead of talking to Estelle, she made a request to the Academy, and a day off was naturally made on a weekday to visit the Holy Empire.

‘You told me to tell you separately if something like this happens, Your Majesty. Hehe.’

The principal, who had been directly contacted by Seonghwang, called Estelle with an extremely embarrassed expression and even asked her to speak to him in person from next time.

‘You don’t have to say anything unless you know what you’re talking about.’

Of course, even if he really knew, he had no intention of saying anything, and it was because he knew that that Seonghwang created this situation.

“What are you doing here?”

As Estelle was feeling helpless and wanting to do nothing, a familiar voice came into her ear.

“Iris, what’s going on here?”

It was a voice so familiar that I could answer without even looking back.

“I came here to catch my breath, but I didn’t know Estelle would be here. But what is that, that… saintly outfit?”

Since entering the Academy, no, since she was at Theo’s house, Estelle has never worn the ‘saintly clothes’ that Iris talks about.

I always borrow Theo’s clothes, or Iris’s clothes.

It was natural, since I bought clothes separately.

“Oh, well. I have something to do in the Holy Empire.”

Iris came up to Estelle and stood next to her, watching her answer in a hesitant manner.

“The Holy Empire? When?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? How unexpected.”

“That’s right. I just found out about it today out of the blue. I’m really pissed, so please don’t scratch me.”

Estelle, who would normally have just let it go as if it were nothing serious, was extremely sensitive.

“Hmm, you don’t seem to want to go. I know that feeling.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“Then how about we do this, Estelle.”

“How.”

Iris shrugged her shoulders and said to Estelle, who was grumbling.

“Theonim and I are going together to the Holy Empire.”

“… Oh, yes? With Theo… ?”

“Am I with you too?”

Estelle’s eyes suddenly began to sparkle with a very unpleasant and unpleasant look.
