106 Stump I took a good look at the middle-aged man in front of me, accusing me of something. He looked like he didn't really know what he was talking about, but was desperate to blame someone. ...How does it turn out to be me that everyone's blaming all the time? Well, I guess it's best to figure out what this is all about. "And what exactly is it that I did?" The middle-aged man clearly hesitated but eventually gathered his resolve. "Ever since your family has been handing out that…-

105 Connections The symptoms of the disease itself weren't all that obvious, but it was still enough for us to tell that a good amount of the commoners had already been infected not too long ago. It seemed that they were going to kick up somewhat. Nathan narrowed his eyes. "It shouldn't be the largest issue since you can provide a large amount of food, right?" I scratched the side of my head. "Well, I'm not sure if I can feed every single person in the kingdom. That would probably be too…

104 Poverty Plague While the situation was obviously urgent, both Nathan and I just ended up sitting and looking at each other. Though, it's not like we had anything else to do, because we had to think of a solution. The ironic thing about the Poverty Plague was that if everyone was living fairly, then the fact that this disease even existed in the first place might be unknown. In fact, if it was taken to the modern world, there would probably be many people that would want to contract the disease…

103 An Issue After being called to head over to dinner, I immediately noticed a fairly big problem. Having a hand with a giant open bleeding wound was bound to give rise to questions. I should've seen this sooner, but I hadn't really thought about it at the moment. Although the questions themselves weren't the biggest deal, attracting too much attention would be bad for now. In reality, the wound was actually fairly shallow, it just looked pretty bad. If I had to say, this wound would probably…

102 The Path Less Traveled I remained there for quite a while, taking in the fact that I had actually succeeded in attuning mana. Granted, it wasn't exactly the biggest of successes because the amount was incredibly small, and had no practical use in combat. However, it was still a step forward. The biggest limitation I was facing right now was the fact that I can only attune so much mana at once without destroying my body in the process. But this was fine for now because I simply wished to find…

101 The Reason I gave the middle-aged woman a good look and decided to initiate the conversation. "It appears that you wish to speak with me?" Though a tad bit surprised, the middle-aged woman nodded. "Yes, I'm just thinking of how I should phrase this." Her voice was a bit coarse, maybe because she was a person that yelled a lot. The woman took another few seconds before taking a deep breath. "I do appreciate what you are trying to do for us. It is a charitable gesture that not many…

100 Lecture "This is quite the situation, isn't it?" I said that with a bitter smile on my face. Nathan narrowed his eyes and sucked in a cold breath as well. "I never thought that it would actually be this hard." Nathan stood a few steps behind me and held onto his spear a little tighter. Rae instantly turned to us after finishing off the last one that wasn't us. Her face was expressionless, showing how much focus she was putting in. For some reason, despite being very likely able to win…

Harold watched the two of them arguing and let out a long sigh. "We will go to the sparring stage. But I will only give you a maximum of fifteen minutes to settle this. Let's hurry along now." Without even checking if everyone was here, Harold had led everyone over to another room on this floor. It appeared to be a large auditorium, with lines of seats all over the place. There was also a giant platform in the center. Although empty, there were hairline cracks and traces of bloodstains that spoke…

Jess wasn't even slightly flustered when I declared that I wasn't actually her brother. A bitter smile formed on my face. "Unfortunately, yes. So why haven't you been running despite your brother being so insistent on it?" Jess puffed up her cheeks. "...From my perspective, you two are the same person. Even if you really were two different people, there wouldn't be that much of a difference. The two of you would probably get along really well." Ah, yes, of course. That makes... so much…

Denny's appearance had changed strangely after getting angered. The skin on her body began to melt as though it was some viscous liquid. The hair immediately whitened to become thin and frail. Yet, despite that fact, the body seemed like it was basically dying on the spot, the mana within was roiling around rather violently. ...Shit, it was nowhere near this disgusting in the game. Denny launched towards me like she was actually a headcrab, which honestly made me feel a bit disgusted. Getting…
