Chapter 37


Things from now on


I managed to escape from the disposal ruins that had been said to have zero survival .


Feeling the warm sunlight with my body, I could finally take a break—


I can’t say something like that .


“There is a mark on the entrance that only the investigation team, who goes to inspect regularly, understands… There have never been any change in that mark . ”


I remembered the words that sh*tty goddess has said before I was being disposed .


Hiding behind the shade of a pillar, I kept my vigilance on my surroundings .


It seems that there have been no monitoring establishments nearby nor investigators that would guard the entrance .


I think back again about the words of the goddess .


“–the investigation team, who goes to inspect regularly—“


Is it because this ruins had always been closed?


I’m constantly looking around the area as I look around for any presence of humans as I examined the entrance of the ruins .


I don’t see any thing that has changed at all .


I also can’t find any indication of anything that looks like a mark .


“—a mark on the entrance that only the investigation team, who goes to inspect regularly, understands…”


To sum it up, the mark has a troublesome disguise .


It should be considered that it’s only a matter of time before they know that I have escaped the ruins .


The door of the ruins had already closed .


The moment that I had gotten out, the door had surprisingly been closed .


It’s as if this ruins is telling me to “Quickly get lost!”


Is it because I’ve killed too much of the monsters living in this ruins?


I wasn’t able to bring out that golden jewel that was needed to open the door .


I would have sold it if I was able to bring it out but…


It seems that the outside world is not doing well too .


The area nearby the exit of the ruins looks like a ruined landscape .


In other words, this ruined landscape could be said to be the inheritance of an ancient civilization .


I could definitely see the image of what should be an ancient ruins, just like those photographs I had seen on my textbook .


I quickly looked around the neighborhood .


It seems that this ruins is in the middle of a forest .


I guess it’s about time that I should live this place .


I need to escape here before they would be informed of my existence .


I have no business with this place anymore .


v


I’ve discovered a path that I think people had used before .


I could see the bare earth .


The ground had solidified after being treaded on multiple times .


Is this the road used by the investigation team and the people who normally goes in this forest?

If that’s the case, I think it’s better for me not to go through this path .


“Captain! I had seen traces of unfamiliar footsteps that has passed through this path!”


It’s possible something like that will happen later…


I guess I’ll go through this forest a short distance away from the path .


[I wish I can find some place that have some water… I want to wash my body already . ]


Although I have already escaped from that place, there are still many things that I have to do .


I’d also like my habit of speaking to myself that I had developed in that ruins to be cleared off .


I really need to stop it .


[Status Open . ]


LV 1789


HP: +5367


MP: +59037


Attack: +5367


Defense: +5367


Physical strength: +5367


Speed: +5367


Wisdom: +5367


Only the MP had a different amount of digits in it .


But this is not what I really want to check out now .


I wanted to check the skills entry .


I want to check out the two skills that have leveled up .


MP-consumption 10 / Multi-Target Casting / Optional Release / Partial Release (Head)>


MP-consumption 10 / Multi-Target Casting / Optional Release / Option: Non-lethal>


The entries have increased .


Both of the skills have added on them .


When I were back in the ruins, there had been no situation where I felt the necessity to cancel my skills .


I haven’t really thought about my inability to cancel my skills .


It is now possible for me to release them out of my skills if I so will it, huh .


If I there is a monster nearby, I’m going to try it later…


The other new addition in the skill is the .


I am wondering about the additional display, this “head” word that is enclosed by parentheses .


Does this mean that it’s possible for me to release just the head from the paralysis?


It seems that it will be useful when I want to talk with the one I paralyzed .

There’s also the new addition in the skill, .


In short, I think that I could now make my poison into something that doesn’t kill my target .


If I were to talk as if this were a game, it’s like a poison that always leaves someone into only 1 HP?


I think this might surprisingly be useful .


I don’t think I’ll be using this skill that much though .


[…………]


If I want some kind of effect to be added on my skills, I think something like making it work to that sh*tty goddess is a perfect skill for me .


[I need to test out the additional effect of my when an opportunity comes . ]


I close down the status display and took out a cola from the leather bag .


This cola had been in my bag for quite some time .


This is the last mouthful until the PET bottle is completely empty .


Let’s drink this in celebration for returning alive from the ruins .


I gulp it all in one breath .


It might have been obvious, but the carbonic acid in the cola has long been lost .


However, this dense sweetness quenched the fatigue out of my body…


[Fuuuu…]


I keep the empty PET bottle with me .


I will keep it as a water container when I have found a clean river .


I started walking through the forest again .


There are many things for me to think about .


However, I need to confront them just one at a time .


I would get too confused when I think about all of them at the same time .


Besides, Multitasking has never been my strong point .


[Now then…]


I guess I should find a village or town first .


I want to take a proper rest at some inn .


I also want to buy some new clothing .


It’s because I want to change out of this uniform under my robe .


This uniform from my original world is too conspicuous .


With the situation I am right now, I need to avoid standing out as much as possible .


I also want to know where I am now .


Is this place within the territory of the Allion Kingdom?


Am I closer to the center of the territory?


Or am I somewhere near the frontier?

Or is it that I’m in an another country?


Worst of all, there’s a possibility that I’m even in the other side of the sea .


I want to get a map if I can find one .


Fortunately, I have found some silver coins and jewels in the ruins .


It’s reassuring that I’m not completely broke .


However, I think I need to know how much is the worth of the silver coins and the jewels .


I also need to know the market price of the commodities .


I’ve also received some macro informations when we were just summoned by that goddess . (T/N: macro information = public info . )


However, I haven’t heard of the section where the micro information was explained .


I think I need some suitable confirmation myself .


[After that—]


I glance at the leather bag that I am carrying .


The Forbidden Archives of Spells and Curses .


I can’t gather any information from this .


This may be the power that would help fight that goddess .


[Now that I think about it…]


Is it possible for me to learn the contents of this book?


Can I become a forbidden spell-user if I were able to learn how to read the language used in this book?


Or the ones who could learn these spells are limited to their race?


I want this to be clarified too .


[I have to gather information about forbidden spells as much as possible . ]


And then…


[I want a sword . ]


Unintentionally, I muttered .


My status other than my MP is low .


That’s what I had been thinking until today .


I recall the memory of when I was in the ruins .


I almost haven’t used any of my stamina around the second half of when I was there .


I haven’t gotten sick even once .


I also feel that the fatigue I feel on my feet as I ascend the ruins got diminished and it’s as if my feet feels lighter than before .


There’s also the luggage that I have been carrying in my leather bag that I feel is lighter than before, even though the things that I had been carrying has increased .


That’s why I think that the effect of the correction value has certainly started to show .


However, the Soul Eater and the various monsters has continued to recognize me as someone who is “weak” .


Even after I had broken through Lv 1000, I was still the weakest in the ruins .


So to speak, I’m probably the magician types who stays at the rear guard .

I’m not the warrior type who fights in the vanguard .


That’s what I think .


That why I suddenly said that .


“I want a sword . ”


That’s why I murmur such a thing .


[It would also be reassuring if someone like a shieldbearer could be my escort…]


If I have a “sword” that protects me when I was casting my abnormal state skills on the rear, I can concentrate on invoking my skills without worry .


In the ruins, I don’t have to worry about blind spot if I just put my back against the wall .


Removing the blind spot can be used at that ruins since that place has numerous walls that you could also hide in .


However, that is not always possible when I’ve arrived here above ground .


[…… . . ]


Hiring a skilled mercenary could be one of the possible actions I could take if I wanted an extra helping hand in the fight with the goddess .


[–Or I could just make my own mercenary group . ]


In order to achieve my revenge, I would have to exert double… no, triple counter-measures for every possibility that could happen .


This unidentified forbidden power .


It would be dangerous if I bet too much hope on just these forbidden spells .


I scratch my head .


[If my abnormal state skill works on that sh*tty goddess, it would have been easier for me to exact my revenge… well, it seems you can’t be hasty on the things you do even in this world . ]


It can’t be helped .


There’s nothing convenient in this world .


On the contrary, I think that things have been too convenient for me since I have the abnormal state skill and the convenient ability of my leather bag .


[After that… I should also find some time to look through the contents of that book that I had received from the Great Sage, “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts”—]


(T/N: I’m going to rename the book to synch it with the one written on the manga . )


A presence .


I close my mouth and raised my vigilance upon my surroundings .


I can’t feel any thirst for blood .


However, I could feel its intent to attack others .


Is it a monster?


I investigate the source of the presence as I hide behind the trees .


[Pigi!]


[Pigi!?]


[Piggiggiggiiiii!]


[Piggi!]


A translucent creature that is blue and round jiggled on the ground .


[Aren’t those—]


There are apparently six of them, as far as I could see .


[–slimes?]
