–Using healing magic on the world itself, I’ll start over.

‘Healing magicians cannot fight alone.’ Keare, who was

bound by this common knowledge, was exploited again and
again by others.

was convinced that a healing magician was the strongest
class. However, by the time he realized that potential, he
was deprived of everything. Thus, he used healing magic on
the world itself to go back four years, deciding to redo
everything.

This is a heroic tale of one healing magician who became the

strongest by using knowledge from his past life and healing
magic.

A Healer can’t do anything but heal.

I had accepted that I couldn’t do anything by myself.

I can’t fight without relying on someone, and I was used because of that.

I was used until I got to this point.

By the time I realized it, it was already over. My life was over.

So I’ll start over.

I’ll hide my will, I won’t let them know I’m sane. All to grasp victory at the very end.

At the farthest land, there’s a pitch black world with a desolate land. There, we stood
against the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord was mankind’s enemy, the worst and most powerful existence. It was
a girl with silver-colored hair and blood colored eyes. Her body was thin with a dark
skin color.

A black provocative dress wrapped her slender body. She fluttered with her black
wings like an angel.

“Humans! Will you take even the land of the dead, our last resting place?!”

The girl was out of breath. Her skin was covered in scars and she was bleeding.
Fighting her was mankind’s hope. The best party made of Heroes from many
countries.

The Sword Hero, Blade. A beautiful woman that crossdresses as a man with a toned
body, blonde hair and blue eyes. She carried a two-handed sword adorned with jewels,
Divine Sword Ragnarok.

The Gun Hero, Bullet. A big man with a bald head. He carries a silver cannon that spits
out magical power in the form of bullets, Holy Canon Taslam.

The Magic Hero, Flare. A beautiful girl with long pink hair and eyes. She is a Hero as
well as a princess. She carries a divine staff made of the world tree, Vanargand.

Then there’s me. Healing Hero Keyaru.

I’m the only Hero who doesn’t have a Divine Arms.

“Bullet, continue the bombardment. Don’t let the Demon Lord rest. I’ll break through
her defenses with a strong attack.”

“Leave it to me.”

Gun Hero Bullet continues shooting magic bullets from the Holy Canon Taslam.

The power from the hero’s bombardment is comparable to Rank 5 magic, which is the
highest rank a human can achieve. Each bullet he shoots goes through a different
trajectory, making the Demon Lord click her tongue in annoyance while trying to
dodge, but her escape path is cut off and she’s hit in the end.

In the meantime, the Magic Hero Flare chants and increases her magic power.

“Thank you for waiting. Rank 7 magic, Mjolnir.”

Magic Hero Flare unleashes a deadly magic.

Five layers of magic circles with several meters were deployed around me. That was
Mjolnir, a Rank 7 spell.

A magic from the age of the gods, allowed only to the Magic Hero. It surpassed
humanity’s upper limit of Rank 5 by two levels.
Lightning strikes from the sky, the voltage is so high it turns into plasma, and it comes
down like a pillar of light.

Seeing this, the Demon Lord gives up on evading and focuses her all on deploying a
barrier that blocks the pillars of light with all its might.

“Please stop her, Blade.”

“Leave it to me. The Divine Sword Ragnarok is filled with light. I’ll land the finishing
blow.”

Following the Magic Hero’s Flare’s voice, the Sword Hero Blade ran. Divine Sword
Ragnarok absorbed her sacred energy and glew white.

The Demon Lord who is defending against Mjolnir will be cut by the sword. That’s
what the Sword Hero believed, but…

The Demon Lord makes a grim expression and opens her mouth.

“Don’t underestimate me!”

The heroes were too naive.

Feathers flutter and fall from the Demon Lord’s angel-like wings. Each one of them
becomes a fallen angel monster.

The fallen angel monsters attacked the Sword Hero Blade. The Gun Hero Bullet
continued his bombardment, trying to support Blade, but, as expected of the Demon
Lord’s monsters, they evaded them all. And, even when it hits, it can’t take them down
in a single shot.

The Sword Hero desperately tries to shake off the fallen angels with her sword, but
each time she cuts one the Divine Sword Ragnarok’s glow fades. Until finally, it got
stuck on the fifth body.

In the next moment, the Sword Hero was slashed by the fallen angels from all sides.
She started bleeding and began to retreat in a hurry.

And that wasn’t all. Black light began to mix in with Mjolnir that was raining down on
the Demon Lord.
“Humans, this is the power of the Demon Lord!”

Mjolnir’s light becomes completely black, The thunder then rises from the bottom to
the skies and rains back down. Its target was now the Magic and Gun Heroes.

The Demon Lord wasn’t just defending against the spell. She was taking it over. To take
control of magic from the age of the gods takes incredible skill and knowledge, way
beyond what a human can do.

“Kyaaaaaaa!”

“Guaaaaaa!”

The Magic Hero Flare, who has high magic resistance, was seriously injured. The Gun
Hero Bullet was burned to death.

All it would take to defeat the Demon Lord was one more step, but, even in that
situation, the Demon Lord turned the tables on the Hero Party and drove them to a
desperate situation.

The only one who is unharmed is me, the Healing Hero.

“Oi, you shit, hurry up and heal me! I’ve run out of elixir. That’s all you’re good for, so
hurry up and do it!”

The Sword Hero shouts at me, but I ignore her. Her face is dyed with anger and she
shouts again.

“Don’t ignore me! That’s why you’re still alive!”

Despite us both being heroes, the Sword Hero is always looking down on me. It can’t
be helped.

To begin with, a Hero is too strong. There’s no need to heal because they rarely get
injured. Then there’s the elixir, an item that can heal anything except for missing body
parts. An elixir is a valuable item, but countries around the world collected them to
give them to the Hero Party.

The Healing Hero can only use Heal, so if you have an elixir you don’t need the Healing
Hero. I’m just a backup for when elixirs run out or to avoid using them in the first
place.

“Hey, are you listening you trash?! Did the drug make you go crazy?!”

Hearing the word “drug” I couldn’t help but smile to myself. Yes, I was a severe drug
addict.

Heal has a fatal flaw. It’s a spell that returns the target to their normal state.

But what’s normal differs from person to person, so you can’t use it without knowing
everything about the target. Unless the experience ingrained in the body is
reproduced, it won’t be a perfect treatment.

That’s why this spell gives all the experiences from Heal’s target to the caster in an
instant, so the caster will perfectly understand their target.

It’s a horrible experience, to have another’s fear and pain enter your mind. No sane
person can withstand that.

I ran away once, I didn’t want to use this power. But I was caught and drugged, losing
both my sense of fear and pain. I was made into a drug addict who would happily use
Heal just for some drugs. My ego was broken and I became a domesticated pet.

As a general rule, healers cannot use Heal on themselves. Corrupted by drugs, broken
and even forgetting who I am, to the point I didn’t even realize I was breaking. I was
just used for their convenience.

“Who is going to heal you? Go die you shit.”

I spit those words at the Sword Hero. She looks like a nice young man, but she’s
actually a lesbian who seduces women and hates men. She crossdresses in order to
lure her targets.

“You- it can’t be, your consciousness-”

The Sword Hero raises her voice in surprise. It’s no wonder. We first met three years
ago, and by then I was already broken. During that time, I simply obeyed orders like a
machine.

A year ago, I gained the Drug Resistance skill and recovered my sanity.
After healing my body, which had been destroyed by my drug dependency, I continued
to secretly sharpen my fangs, trying to not let anyone notice I had regained my sanity.

All for this day.

I run. The target is the Demon Lord. I’ll defeat the Demon Lord and get that.

“Are you stupid, or do you want to die? You’re not strong enough to fight! Come back
and heal me!”

I ignored the shouting of the Sword Hero Blade and aimed straight for the Demon
Lord. Countless fallen angels came towards me. But… don’t be afraid.

“Too slow.”

While dodging the attacks of the fallen angels, I continue dashing forward. It was pure
physical ability that made it possible. Martial arts of the most efficient movements
allowed to humans.

I have healed countless people, relieved their experiences and made their powers my
own. Among them were masters of martial arts.

Heal’s side effect wasn’t just a demerit, it also gave me strength. My movements
surpass even the Sword Hero.

This is it!

“Imitation Heal.”

I was amazed when I came to my senses, after all, I had countless skills and knowledge.

Many masters, many sages. Their powers and knowledge were inside me. Seeing how
fast I was, the fallen angels glad themselves in black light. It’s a reinforcement method.

The fallen angels get faster and attack me from all sides. I click my tongue. Even with
the best skills, it’s impossible to avoid. In this case, I have no choice but to increase my
own power.

“Transformation Heal.”
I used a skill that I developed, Transformation Heal.

Originally, Heal is a spell that returns the target to their natural state. But, if you can
do that, can’t you change it to something else? I thought.

So right now, using Transformation Heal, I changed my body into one suitable for
combat.

As a result, my physical ability rises considerably and I can now dodge attacks I
couldn’t before. I get even closer to the Demon Lord.

“As expected of the Demon Lord’s familiars, you’re persistent.”

The fallen angels don’t give up no matter how much I dodge. They gather together and
merge. They don’t get bigger, but their power grows to a point I didn’t even think
possible.

It’s an overwhelming presence.

The fallen angel rises and falls back down towards me. I can’t dodge it, but I can deal
with it. Grab the arm that was going to punch me and…

“Corruption Heal.”

I activate my spell.

If you can reconstruct something, you can easily destroy it.

A living creature’s body is surprisingly fragile. Just connect blood vessels that
shouldn’t be connected, or disconnect the spinal cord from the brain. Just do any of
those trivial things and it breaks.

The most scary part about Heal is that it ignores all resistances. Creatures naturally
accept Heal.

In other words, it’s a sure 1-hit kill move that disregards all defenses.

The fallen angel crumbles down. When the Demon Lord sees me, her eyes widen in
fear and she raises her voice.
“Who are you?”

“Healing Hero Keyaru. Just a healer.”

Heal isn’t just about healing. The moment I realized that, everything changed.

Make my opponents’ skills my own with Imitation Heal.

Modify the body into a desired shape with Transformation Heal.

Instant death magic that’s impossible to defend against with Corruption Heal.

If I had those powers four years ago, my life would have been much different. My goal
is to make that dream come true.

The Demon Lord shoots countless jet-black bullets towards me, but it’s all in vain.

The knowledge of the sage inside me read the formula. I could foresee the speed,
power and trajectory of the shots. Combined with the skills of the best fighters and
enhanced physical abilities, I could dodge it all.

Through the rain of black bullets, I reach out to the Demon Lord. If I can touch her I
win.

“I reached!”

Now all that’s left is to use that single spell.

“I see, so this is where my life ends. It’s frustrating. I couldn’t protect it.”

The Demon Lord’s expression was a mix of crying and smiling, she has accepted the
end. For some reason, I feel a terrible sense of guilt seeing her.

But I can’t stop. I have my own purpose.

“Corruption Heal.”

Even the Demon Lord is powerless against my Corruption Heal. She peacefully meets
her end while crumbling.
“Don’t worry, I’ll start again soon.”

I muttered. Then, I pulled out a red gemstone, the Demon Lord’s heart. That is my
objective.

“Good job, Healing Hero Keyaru. Father, no, the king will be pleased. *Cough* By the
way, that jewel seems to be under some curse. Let me, the Magic Hero, take care of it.”

Flare must have had a hidden elixir she used to recover from the damage from the
black lighting. She smiled at me. I feel nauseous.

She hasn’t smiled at me since I refused to use Heal. She always looked at me like I was
some stray dog.

She took me from my village when I awoke as a Hero, captured me when I refused to
use my power and drugged me in order to use my power.

“The Philosopher’s Stone.”

The moment I said it, Flare, the Magic Hero, twitched.

“Is this why you wanted to kill the Demon Lord? The ultimate tool that explosively
enhances the power of all kinds of magic. If you have this, you can even use forbidden
spells.”

I have used Heal on Flare, so I know everything about her.

Originally, there are two kinds of monsters: the monsters that are controlled by the
demons and the monsters that appear randomly and attack on instinct.

Overall, demons and humans have been living well together by keeping a fair distance.
That changed 10 years ago. There was a brutal incident where a group of monsters
led by demons attacked a human country.

In order to protect humanity, the Jioral Kingdom made a fuss about exterminating the
demons and the Demon Lord.

But it was all a lie, fabricated evidence to make humanity side with the Jioral Kingdom
and attack the demons. What Jioral Kingdom wanted was the Demon Lord’ heart.
But, in order to do that, money and troops are necessary. That’s why those 10 years of
war were necessary.

“Oh wow, you’re knowledgeable. To think the Demon Lord’s heart had such a name.”

“I also know you’re planning to use the Philosopher’s Stone to cast a forbidden spell
for world domination.”

The princess’ expression changed for a moment, but it soon went back to her pretty
smiling face.

“I don’t know about any of that.”

“In that case, I’ll use it.”

I’ve been pretending to still be an addict in order to trick them all. There’s no way I’m
letting go of it now.

“What for?”

“The Philosopher’s Stone increases the power of all magic. I’ll use it together with
Heal. There’s something I desperately need to heal.”

Yes, there’s something I need to fix. Something that can never be repaired normally.
That’s what I desire.

“You can’t possibly?!”

“I’ll restore this rotten world to before I met you four years ago.”

It’s something that’s not normally possible with just Heal, but I can do it with the
Philosopher’s Stone.

“That’s impossible! Even if you could do it, your memories would be wiped as well.
You’d just repeat the same mistakes again. Don’t do anything stupid. Give me that
stone and a happy life awaits you, the royal family will make sure of it.”

I smile at Flare as she reaches for the Philosopher’s Stone. It’s not a bad deal, to give it
to her.
Idiot, as if I’d ever do that.

“It’s true that I’ll probably forget, but I won’t make the same mistakes again. Even if
my mind forgets, my soul will never forget this pain.”

All that despair, grief and pain, it’s all engraved into my soul. Even if time is rewind
and I lose my memories, that won’t disappear.

The new me will definitely see the powers of Heal and start over.

“See you later, princess. When I meet you again after the world is healed, I’ll be sure to
take everything from you.”

“You really-!”

Realising my seriousness, Flare points her staff at me. But it’s already too late. I’ve
already increased my magic power to the limit, all that’s left to do is release it.

“Heal!”

Bright red light erupts from the Philosopher’s Stone. I cast Heal on the whole world. I
restore everything to how it should be.

The four years that passed come back, we return to that day.

Do better next time, me. I’m sure you can do it. Even if the memories are gone, the pain
will remain with you.
I fell out of the bed. My body is sweaty and I feel sick.

“Ha, ha, ha. That dream again.”

It’s a dream where I become a Hero and fight against the Demon Lord. I don’t know
how many times I’ve had that dream.

I know who I am very well. Just a villager, nothing more nothing less.

“Is the sun already rising?”

I looked out the window and saw that it was dawn. Just the right time to get up and
head to work.

I change from my sleepwear into my normal clothes. I take a bite out of an apple, that’s
my breakfast.

I put on a large basket on my back and also get my work tools. With this, I’m ready to
begin another day.

“I’m going, dad, mom.”

No reply comes, not that I expected any. My parents are already dead, they were
attacked by monsters. This is just an old habit.

I head outside the house.

The village I live in is fairly large and is divided into three areas: the commercial area,
the residential area and the agricultural area.

The residential area is surrounded by waterways and full of greenery. From there, I
make my way to the agricultural area.

I make my living as an apple farmer.

My parents died and I’m all alone now, but I manage to survive thanks to the house
and apple orchard my parents left me.

I reached the orchard.

“The harvest is finally here.”

I smile at the apples. They’re quite good looking, it looks like it’ll be a good harvest.

I climb on the tree and start putting the red apples on my basket one after the other.

I hear a voice inside me.

Is it okay if I stay like this?

Isn’t there something else I should be doing?

Is it alright to not become stronger?

“I’m being too hasty. I haven’t even gotten my class yet.”

Once humans reach 14 years, they awaken to their class. Depending on the class,
various parameters are strengthened. If you don’t have a fighting class, then you can’t
fight properly. And skills are also granted depending on the class.

For example, if you are a Swordsman, you can learn sword skills and easily increase
your proficiency. On the other hand, if you’re a Magician, you can’t fight with a sword.

Sure, you can pick up a sword and swing it around, but you’ll never be as good as
someone with the right skills. You’ll also be missing points in physical attacks and stuff
like that.

There’s still 7 days until my fourteenth birthday.

I’ve decided that, if I happen to get a good class, then I’ll leave the village and go on an
adventure.

Right now is the time for harvest, the time to turn fruits into gold. I won’t have money
troubles when I go on my adventure.

With that small hope in my heart, I continued harvesting apples.

By the time I finished my harvest, the sun had begun to set. Just as I decided to go
home, I heard a scream.

Could it be?!

I hurriedly run to the source of the scream. I reach a field of wheat.

On that field, I see something that shouldn’t be there. A wild boar monster with short
legs and a stone shell was attacking the villagers.

“A monster?! Did it pass the defensive walls?”

The villagers are just normal farmers, their classes aren’t combat focused, so there
was no way to take care of that monster. I’m also a farmer, but I don’t even have a class,
so I can’t fight either.

After a while, the guards should come and deal with the monster. But…

“Anna-san!”

I saw a familiar face. She’s the woman who took care of me after my parents died. She
doesn’t have any children of her own, but she and her husband took care of me as if I
was their own child.

Anna-san stumbled and failed to escape. At this rate, she’ll be killed before the guards
arrive.

But, even if I go, nothing will change. Far from a combat class, I don’t even have a class.
That’s wrong. Why are you afraid of a monster of that level? I know that type of monster.
Knowledge is also a weapon, status isn’t everything.

The voice in my head seemed stronger than usual. By the time I noticed it, I was
already running.

Somehow, I know that monster.

That monster isn’t a boar. It’s a Rock Maul. It’s a mole kind of monster.

That’s how it was able to pass the walls, it dug under them.

But it has a fatal weakness.

Its eyes have deteriorated and it can barely see. It relies on the Eimer organ at the top
of its nose to find prey. It detects the vibrations transmitted on the ground.

It’s only weakness is that organ, which isn’t covered by any rocks. It probably can’t do
its job if it’s covered by rocks.

It’s right there for everyone to see. Even the powerless me can damage it.

“Haaaaaaaa!”

I sprint and jump. It feels the vibrations coming from the ground. That means it can’t
detect me in the air.

I landed and grabbed onto the neck of the giant stone boar, or rather the stone mole.
He didn’t notice it until it was too late.

I stabbed my knife at the Eimer organ on its nose, the weak point not covered by rocks.

“Kyuiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”

The stone mole goes on a rampage and I’m easily shaken off. I stare at its nose.

With my current status I can’t even kill it, only hurt it. If I can’t kill it by sticking a knife
into its weak point with all my strength, then there’s just nothing I can do.

It’s frustrating. I bite my own teeth.

What’s your objective? Why are you trying to kill it when you’re supposed to be helping
her?

Hearing the voice in my head, I come back to my senses. I rush to Anna-san’s side, help
her up and leave the place with her.

The stone mole is violently rampaging, but it doesn’t sense either me or Anna-san.

“Keyaru-kun, thank you. But is it okay to anger that monster?”

“It’s okay. He can’t sense anything anymore.”

It only has one sensory organ, and it’s damaged. That’s enough for my objective of
saving Anna-san. My goal was never to beat it. I’ll leave the rest for the guards to take
care of.

After a while, the guards showed up and defeated the stone mole.

Everyone praised me for helping Anna-san, and then scolded me for being reckless.

“Ever since you were little, you said you wanted to become a hero and save everyone.
If it’s Keyaru, then maybe you really will become a hero.”

Anna-san said that to me after scolding me. She said it while smiling.

Become a hero and save everyone, that was my dream. Ever since my parents were
killed by monsters, that’s what I decided to do. That’s why I wanted to become strong,
so no one would be sad.

“Oi, Keyaru, weren’t you afraid of such a big monster?”

Ainsu, a big strong man, asked me.

“I wasn’t scared.”

“Oi oi, that’s a problem. Don’t be too reckless.”

When I fought that stone mole, my heart was strangely cold. I don’t think I was
reckless, I knew its weakness and took advantage of it.

It should have been the first time I fought a monster like that, but I felt like it was part
of my daily life.

Does it have something to do with the dreams I have every night? As I was thinking
about that, the voice echoed in my head again.

Become strong, enough to not lose to anyone. I’ll teach you all I know for you to become
strong. I remember the experiences of many adventures and sages. Use it all to get
stronger even a second faster. Get the spirit eyes. The eye that can see everything in the
universe.

What’s this? I never heard the voice so clearly before.

I say goodbye to the villagers surrounding me and leave. Alone, I ran.

“What the hell is this?!”

My legs move naturally, as if guided by something.

I now know that the forest near the village there’s a point of connection with the spirit
world. If I can speak the ancient words and perform the ritual, I can get the spirit eye.

Just like with the stone mole, I somehow know this. The best time is in five days, when
the stars align. If I miss that, the next time is in 34 years.

Thinking about it with common sense, this voice can only mean I’m going crazy. But
somehow, I can’t make myself ignore it. I feel like, if I do, I’ll lose everything.

Being weak is a sin, it has that kind of feeling to it.

Once you get the eye, you’ll remember everything. I can’t afford to repeat it all again.
This time, I’ll live a happy life for sure.

I start feeling impatient. I feel like, if I go there and get the spirit eye, I’ll be able to
understand everything.

With a few apples on my bag and the clothes on my back, I started running towards a
place I shouldn’t have known.
That’s when I realized, I was laughing. I see… I’m looking forward to it then. Then let’s
go retrieve the true me.
Get the spirit eye.

Following the voice in my head, I left the village and advanced in the forest. It’s getting
dark.

The forest at night is scary. Visibility is limited and the monsters are more active. Being
outside the village’s walls, it wouldn’t be surprising if I was attacked by a monster and
killed. It’s suicidal.

I take out my knife and peel off the bark from a nearby tree. I smear the sap from the
tree on my body. The monsters from here hate the smell of this sap.

The monsters that don’t dislike the smell of this sap can be divided into two groups:
those that hate fire and those that are territorial.

So long as I have the sap on me, carry a torch and watch out for the territorial marks,
I should be able to pass through the forest. The voice told me so.

“Just what am I doing?”

Listening to a voice in my head without a second thought. Maybe I am going crazy.

If this voice is an illusion, I’ll be monster food by dawn. The countermeasures will be
useless and I’ll be attacked at night.

But, when the Stone Maul attacked, I listened to the voice and I was able to save Anna-
san. If I survive the night, the voice and the story about the spirits will have even more
credibility.

So let’s keep moving. I don’t have much time.

Considering the distance, if I don’t traverse the forest with all I can, I won’t make it in
time. So I kept walking through the woods.

Four days have passed since I left the village.

I only have a day left. The connection with the spirit world only happens when the
stars align. I’ve been walking through the forest without sleep since yesterday.

My fatigue is building up.

Not only did I have trouble sleeping, I also haven’t been eating well. I already ate the
apples, so now I’m only eating wild vegetables and animals I’ve hunted in the forest.

My body is weak and my vision is getting blurry.

But I got here.

I followed the voice and came this far. There’s no way I could have made it here without
it.

So I walk walk and walk, until I arrive on the fifth night. There was a beautiful lake
among the trees. I open my eyes wide and the stars start shining in the sky.

With the ability to read the stars that I shouldn’t know, I correctly read the positioning
of the stars. The gate is about to open.

“Now, to get the spirit eye and remember everything.”

The lake absorbs the light of the stars. It’s started. My mouth opens.

“———-”

I speak old words for the spirit to hear.

Sometimes, the spirits receive a favor from humans. In return, the spirits promise to
return the favor to their benefactor’s descendants. If their descendants can reach this
place, read the stars and recite the ancient words, the spirits will return the favor.
Of course, my ancestors never helped a spirit. I’m just using the knowledge I stole from
someone else.

It just so happened that there’s a place that connects to the spirit world near my
village, and the stars happened to align. Because I know the words, I can take the
reward.

I just stopped thinking why I know all this. I’m just hoping everything will make sense
once I get the spirit eye.

The lake shone brightly. All the light that was absorbed was released at once. A blue
pillar of light appears at the center of the lake. There was a beautiful woman there.
She had transparent wings and a translucent blue robe covered her body.

That beautiful woman opens her mouth slowly.

“I am the Star Spirit. Child of man, keeping true to the ancient contract, I will now
repay the favor for your ancestor helping my friend. What do you wish for?”

The spirit gave me the options of the arms that can crush everything, legs that can
cross any storm, ears that could hear from a thousand miles, or eyes that could see
everything. My answer was already decided.

“I want the eye. Please give me the eyes that can see everything.”

Then, the Star Spirit slowly floated in front of me. I instinctively closed my eyes, then
I felt a soft sensation on my eyelids twice.

“Child of man, I have given you the eye as repayment of the favor.”

My eye feels hot, but not painful. This heat, it’s power. I open my eyes.

“So this is the spirit eye.”

I’m at a loss for words. I can see the mana flowing in the air, the flow of the dragon
veins, the status and skills of the spirit and even her true name.

What an amazing power! This is absolutely necessary for the class I’m going to awaken
to. I look at my own reflection in the lake. My eye was shining green.
“I see, I understand now.”

I saw the truth of the world and remembered everything. The despair of the past and
the longing for a second chance.

Even if the memories disappear, the things engraved in the soul remain. The fog clears,
and the memories from my soul’s wounds return.

I found myself.

“Thank you, Star Spirit.”

After I thank her, the spirit smiles and disappears.

This is the spirit eye, no, the Jade Eye. My advance preparations are going well.

In two days, I’ll awaken as a Healer, and the hero mark will be engraved in my right
hand. I’ll be chosen as one of the ten heroes in the world.

“First, I should retrace history. I have the knowledge, but the skills are gone. If I follow
my past life, then I’ll be drugged and forced to heal military warriors. I suppose it’s not
bad to get those warrior’s skills.”

But above all…

“I promised, didn’t I? This time, I’ll be the one to take everything from her.”

The image of a single woman came to mind. The pink haired princess, and Magic Hero,
Flare.

Hurry back to the village and meet her again, that’s my first step.

My face that appeared on the surface of the water wasn’t that of a simple boy, but of a
distorted demon.
I remembered everything when I got the spirit eye, the Jade Eye.

A future where I’d been used. I used Heal on the world and returned to the past. if
nothing is done, that will simply repeat itself.

That is unacceptable. I must take immediate measures to avoid it.

“First of all, I’ll awake to my class in two days.”

There are two days left until my 14th birthday. At that moment, when I become an
adult, I’ll awaken to my class.

Of course, I’ll get the Healer class. And not just that, the Hero class as well.

“Why do I have to be a Hero anyway?”

Only 10 people in the world can get the Hero class, chosen by the gods.

There are four main abilities that come with this extra class:

 Strengthen the class’ abilities past the normal limits

 All creatures have a level cap, but Heroes don’t

 Double the amount of experience obtained for the Hero and their party.

 Increase another’s level cap by performing a certain act

It’s a useful power, worthy of a Hero. There’s no doubt that the reason why I can use
Imitation Heal, Transformation Heal and Corruption Heal is because I am a Hero.
Also, not having a level limit is also good. The usual cap is between level 20 to 30, but
mine is infinite. I can become infinitely strong forever. A different dimension from
ordinary people.

There’s also the experience boost. If my memories from my previous life are correct,
the experience is doubled for every Hero. So, in a party with four Heroes, it’s 16 times
the amount.

“Well, Flare should arrive a week from now.”

It seems that princess Flare, who has already awakened as the Magic Hero, has the
ability to detect and search for a newly born Hero. This time as well, she’ll come to
pick me up.

There are only 10 Heroes in the world. They’re a valuable firepower that countries
simply can’t let go of.

As I walk through the woods, I start making my plans.

“First, escaping from Jioral Kingdom is impossible.”

There are two main reasons for that:

First, I can’t escape from Flare’s skill that can detect other Heroes. Even more so with
a low level and no useful skills, I’d never be able to break through a siege from the
royal family’s elite forces. If I really wanted to run away, I’d have to do something about
Flare’s detection.

There can only be 10 Heroes in the world. That means that, if a troublesome Hero is
born, it’s better for the royal family to kill them and wait for the birth of a new Hero.

Second, I want to use Imitation Heal on people with useful skills.

In the previous history, I couldn’t bear the pain of using Heal and ran away. But, once
I was caught, they made me heal all the warriors who couldn’t be cured with an elixir.

It was a nightmarish experience, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to use

Imitation Heal on all kinds of people with all kinds of skills.

Based on all this, there’s only one option I can take. Retrace history up until when I’m
captured, take that chance to use Imitation Heal on as many people as I can and then
escape. But obviously, there are hurdles in the way.

“I’ll need the Drug Resistance skill. If I just become an addict again, it’ll be the same as
last time.”

I need the Drug Resistance skill so I can maintain my sense of self even while drugged.

And I’ll also need strength to escape. I want to raise my level, but there’s no need to
worry. I have Looting Heal. As I use Imitation Heal, I’ll steal both the skills and levels.

Since that’s decided, I’m ready.

As I walk back to the village, I collect poison plants and mushrooms and put them in
my bag.

The reason why it took me so long to acquire Drug Resistance in my previous life was
because I surrendered to the pleasure of the drug. To acquire that skill, it’s necessary
to resist the drug.

So I’ll train my resistance for the following week. By resisting it for that long, my
proficiency will rise considerably. It’s impossible to get the skill in a single week, but
with the accumulated proficiency and a strong mind, I’ll be able to get it in the not too
distant future.

“It’s not fun to just run away. I’ll break Flare and take her away.”

In the previous world, she drugged me and turned me into a machine that simply
healed.

So I’ll do the same. While escaping, I’ll kidnap Flare and use Transformation Heal on
her.

But I’m not an oni either. The Flare of this world hasn’t harmed me, I can’t take revenge
on her like that. If, by some chance, she doesn’t try to break me, I’ll let her go.

But, if she tries to break me again, I’ll take revenge on her. I’ll teach that woman how
it feels to be used as livestock.

With those thoughts, I ingested just enough poison plants to not die. Sometimes, I used
a poison to counteract the other while I avoided the monsters and continued walking.

It’s been two days since I got the Jade Eye.

I’m getting used to the poison. When I go to the river to drink water, I’m surprised with
my own reflection. Sunken cheeks and hollow eyes.

Maybe I exaggerated a bit. No, it’s fine. It won’t be effective if it’s not this much.

Looking up at the sky, the full moon was shining brightly. Suddenly, I feel a burning
pain on my right hand.

“Is it here?”

A geometrical crest has been engraved on the back of my hand. The Hero mark. I was
chosen as a Hero again. I should also have awakened to my class now.

I look at the surface of the water and strain my eyes. The Jade Eye I obtained from the
spirit starts glowing.

Originally, the status can’t be seen without an expensive tool called an Appraiser. But
I can see it by using the Jade Eye.

Level Limit Breakthrough (self): Hero exclusive skill. No level limit.

Level Limit Breakthrough (others): Hero exclusive skill. By giving body fluids with
magic power, there’s a chance the other party’s level cap will be increased by 1.

Being able to check the status with just my eye, without needing tools, is convenient.
Especially since I can use Imitation Heal to steal skills.

With this, I can identify people with good skills and use Imitation Heal on them and
copy the skill. And the power of the Jade Eye doesn’t end here. Up until here is only
what an Appraisal can show, but the Jade Eye can see even further.

Level Limit: ∞

MP: 110
Physical Attack: 50

Physical Defense: 50

Magical Attack: 105

Magical Defense: 125

Speed: 120

Total Talent Value: 560

Level cap and talent values.

Every creature has a maximum level value they can reach. By looking at this, you can
see what someone is truly capable of. It doesn’t matter how high your status is,if your
level cap is 10, then it’s useless.

But what’s important is your talent values. Your status comes from your level and
talent values.

If your talent is low, you won’t be strong no matter how much you level up.

I’m a Healer, so my physical talents are low, but everything else is high.

No matter how strong a Hero is, it’s hard to fight alone. With this Jade Eye, I’ll be able
to find people with talent.

“Got the Healer and Hero classes, I’m preparing for Drug Resistance and I have the
Jade Eye. Everything’s ready, all that’s left is to trace history. It’s funny, I hated Flare so
much, but now I’m looking forward to meeting her.”

I’m praying. Praying that this world’s Flare is also a piece of shit. Then, I’ll be able to
take revenge without hesitation. I’ll cherish her as my cute little pet.

With a faint smile, I stood up and started walking. One step at a time, heading towards
revenge.
On my 14th birthday, I got the Healer class and the Extra Class called Hero, which only
10 people in the world can have at once.

After getting my class, I’m returning to my village. Of course, I’m not just walking. I’m
also ingesting poison to build up my Drug Resistance.

“Heal.”

I place my right hand on my body and use Heal to remove the toxins from my body.

“I also need to increase my healing proficiency.”

I mutter to myself. Originally, it’s really difficult to cast healing magic on yourself.
When you cast magic, a kind of noise enters your body, making it impossible to control
the magic. But I’ve used Heal tens of thousands of times. I just have to predict how my
target will change and change my spell accordingly.

Because I can treat poison now, the pace at which I raise my Drug Resistance
proficiency has increased.

But my MP runs out after using Heal just four times. It’ll be hard if I don’t level up and
increase my MP. So, three days after getting my class and walking through the woods,
I finally arrived back at my village.

Once I arrived back at my village, my acquaintances came running up to me. I must

have made them worry, being gone without a word for 10 days.

They asked me a lot of things, but I had to deceive them. Even if I told them, no one
would believe me.

My Jade Eye doesn’t glow green if I’m not using it, so I can also hide it perfectly.

The mayor invited me to go to the capital with him on the next shopping trip. Of
course, it’s to buy an Appraisal at the capital.

My village is fairly big, but there’s no one who can make an Appraisal, which only high
level magicians can make. I nodded my head at his suggestion. I already know my class
thanks to the Jade Eye, but I shouldn’t. It would be unnatural to not want to know your
class after getting it.

Well, it doesn’t matter. Princess Flare will arrive before I go shopping.

After I returned to the village, I continued to take care of my apples as usual while
training to get Drug Resistance. I’d like to go out and hunt monsters, but my physical
attack and defense talents are in the 50s, so a low value.

The only attack magic I have right now is Corruption Heal, which has a high MP
consumption. As expected, I can’t cast it with my current MP. I can’t fight monsters in
this situation.

But there’s no need to rush. I can make up for it later with Looting Heal.

“Keyaru-kun, what’s that pattern on your right hand?”

As I was going to return home after finishing work, Anna-san called out to me.

“I don’t know, it showed up all the sudden.”

“Why don’t you have someone who knows about curses take a look?”

I give Anna-san a wry smile. The existence of Heroes is well known, but not the Hero
Crest.

“I’ll take a look at it if it starts hurting. It’s getting noisy over there.”
The entrance of the village was getting noisy. Maybe the princess has arrived.

Let’s move forward with history.

I immediately noticed the cause of commotion as I reached the center of the village:
an unfamiliar carriage was parked there.

It was luxurious and full of extravagant designs. Even the horses pulling it were no
ordinary horses, but the mystical beasts known as unicorns. It’s something a person
who is just wealthy can’t afford.

The carriage was guarded by knights in mythril armor. The royal crest on their armor
and carriage speaks volumes for who they are.

The carriage door opens and a girl in her mid-teens shows up. The villagers all watch
her with a dumbfounded look as they watch her in awe. Her beauty, graceful
appearance, her smile like a saint.

The princess with an overwhelming charisma who is also a Hero. Her name is…

“Hello everyone. I’m the first princess of Jioral Kingdom, the Magic Hero Flare
Arlgrande Jioral.”

She suddenly names herself a Hero.

Flare has already mastered the highest level of magic that humans can achieve, Rank
5, she’s also known as one of the strongest Magicians in the world, being able to use
the unprecedented Rank 6. And I also know that, in a few years, she’ll reach Rank 7.

No human can beat her in magic.

“Today, I’ve come to pick up the new Hero born in this village.”

The cheers grow louder. The villages are curiously asking each other who is the Hero.

I focus on my eye, activating the Jade Eye. I want to check how strong Flare is.
Race: Human

Name: Flare

Class: Magician / Hero

Level: 25

Status:

MP: 155/155

Physical Attack: 40

Physical Defense: 25

Magical Attack: 70

Magical Defense: 55

Speed: 50

Abilities:

Attack Magic level 3

MP Recovery Rate Increase level 2: Magician skill. MP recovers 10% faster.

Attack Magic Power Increase level 2: Magician skill. Adds a positive correction to

Transcendental Magician level 2: Magician and Hero composite skill. All attributes of
magic can be used. High level magic can be used.

EXP increase: Hero exclusive skill. Doubles the values of EXP for you and your party.
Level Limit Breakthrough (self): Hero exclusive skill. No level limit.

Looking at it now, it’s quite a terrifying status. Magic attack is particularly good.

In terms of skills, what catches the eye is the composite skill. Being able to use all
magic attributes, when normally only 2 can be used, and she can also use high level
magic.

It really is a skill worthy of a Hero. The only part she lacks in is that she can’t increase
other’s level. Now, I should check the talent values as well.

Level Limit: ∞

Talent Values:

MP: 150

Physical Attack: 70

Physical Defense: 40

Magical Attack: 140

Magical Defense: 100

Speed: 80

Total Talent Value: 580

Not only is there the Hero’s infinite level limit, there’s also a total talent value of 580.

A normal human’s talent values is about 60 for each status, so a total of 300 is
considered good. A 140 in magical attack probably puts her as the peak of humankind.

I’ve seen what I wanted to see, so I closed my Jade Eye. Right after that, Flare’s eyes
met mine.

“You are the one I’m looking for, right? Please, come here.”

After Flare said that, the villagers between me and her opened the way. I walked up to
her.

“I’m the Hero?!”

Act surprised. It would be strange otherwise.

“So you hadn’t noticed it yet. You were chosen as a Hero.”

She got closer to me and held my hand.

“This mark is the proof of a Hero. I have come to pick you up, let us free this world
from the Demon Lord’s hands together.”

The villagers got excited and erupted into applause. There are many benefits when a
Hero is born in a certain village, such as receiving assistance from the kingdom.

“I can’t believe I’m a Hero.”

“It’s no wonder you think like that, but it’s the truth. There are many things you have
to learn as a Hero, so let’s head to the royal capital as soon as possible.”

I was about to throw up. What she’ll want me to learn as a Hero is how to obediently
cast Heal like a machine.

“Even if you suddenly say that, my heart isn’t ready.”

“Fufu, don’t worry, I’m with you. I’ll teach you a lot as your senior Hero.”

Flare smiles and holds my hand tightly. She smells good and has a soft touch. Any man
would fall for her like this. But I know the true nature of this woman and can only feel
disgusted.

“Okay. Princess, please take me to the capital.”

“Yes, of course.”

The villagers are blessing me with their words, none of them are trying to stop me. No
one could imagine what I was going to go through. It can’t be helped, but it is
frustrating.
We’re heading to the royal capital in the carriage.

“By the way, I didn’t even ask your name. I am Flare Arlgrande Jioral.”

“I’m Keyaru, nice to meet you.”

“That’s a lovely name. Could you tell me what your class is?”

As usual, Flare’s smile can charm anyone. Her voice can also capture any heart, and
she’s talking to me. The fact that this is all a calculated maneuver is quite scary.

“I don’t know my class yet. I just became an adult and haven’t used an Appraisal yet.”

“Is that so? If you don’t mind, we can use an Appraisal here.”

Flare calls out to her attendant, who gives her an Appraisal. She teaches me how to
use it.

The result is the same as what the Jade Eye showed me. Except the level cap and talent
values can’t be seen.

“My class is Healer.”

The moment I said that, Flare’s face twitched slightly. Disdain is mixed in her glare,
but it quickly disappears. Even though she had such high hopes, she must have been
really disappointed and dismissed me as useless.

“Keyaru-san, may I see the Appraisal?”

“Here you go.”

While keeping her smile, she looked through my status. She’s probably doing all kinds
of calculations in her head, that’s the kind of woman she is.

The conclusion she reached in the previous world was that, even if I couldn’t be
counted as a fighting force, I could still join the party. That way, her experience would
be doubled and I could heal them. After all, no matter how many you have, an elixir is
quite valuable, so you want to save it as much as possible.

So, even if I myself am not a fighting force, I could still be used to recycle those who
have retired due to injuries.

As a result of her calculations, it was decided that there is just a little bit of value in my
existence. If not, I would have been killed so another Hero could be born. Only 10
Heroes can exist at once, so you have to kill one to get another.

Knowing that, I was able to see Flare’s true face, tucked behind that smile.

While we were just making some casual talk, the carriage arrived at the royal capital.

According to my memories, after receiving lessons for a few days, I’ll be asked to heal
the Sword Saint. After healing her, I found out about the extreme pain from using Heal
and refused to use it again. But the royal family didn’t forgive me and drugged me.

The royal family only thinks of using me as a tool, that’s why they can do these cruel
things.

But the new me isn’t just a tool to be used. If they try to do it again, I’ll destroy them.
Just like the princess that hides her true face with a smile, I also have a demon inside
me. They just haven’t realized it yet.
While being shaken in the carriage, we eventually reached the royal capital. As the
name suggests, it’s the royal capital of Jioral Kingdom.

Jioral Kingdom is located at the southernmost territory that the humans control.
Below it is demon territory.

In other words, for humans, the Jioral Kingdom is the shield that protects them from
demon invasion. For that reason it receives support from other countries. Jioral
Kingdom’s strength is its connections with other countries.

The support Jioral Kingdom gets consists of food and money, but also engineering
technology and magical technology. There’s also many warriors with real combat
experience against monsters. There’s no doubt that Jioral Kingdom is the strongest
country in the world.

Nowadays, they’re using the strength from that support to perform more aggressive
negotiations for more support.

Being on the frontlines of the battles between humans and demons, the capital’s walls
were high and thick. Providing not only physical defense, but also magical defense.
There are many knights surrounding the walls, making it quite formidable.

“It looks like a nice wall.”

“Fufu, you shouldn’t be amazed by the wall. It’s even better inside the city.”

We enter the city going through the metal gates.

“Please look. Isn’t the townscape beautiful?”

As soon as we entered the city, Flare, the Magic Hero and princess, let out an innocent
and high pitched voice. We were making our way through a well maintained highway
in Jioral’s royal capital.

Just like she said, it’s a beautiful town. Considering the circulation of money and goods,
the main road is straight and quite wide. The buildings are made of bricks to prevent
fires from spreading easily, and they have an elegant design.

There’s nothing useless in this city, everything in here is clean and orderly. There are
more people walking about like anywhere else. You can hear laughter everywhere, you
can feel the energy overflowing.

“Yeah, it really is beautiful.”

I don’t use honorifics with princess Flare. She herself requested so. She said we are
equal as Heroes. Even though Flare is a princess, she’s trying to act in a way that’s easy
to get along with, matching me in conversation.

“Yes, this city is my pride. To protect this city and everyone’s smiles, that’s why we
fight.”

“Flare is amazing.”

“Ah, sorry for talking so much. But I really think it would be wonderful if we could use
our power to protect everyone.”

I smile back at Flare. Ah, that’s no good, my mask is slipping off.

Everything Flare says is calculated. Her innocent behavior, clumsy moments, her
beautiful smile and her desire to protect the royal capital. Every single one of those is
a performance to tie me to this country.

Magic Hero Flare is that kind of woman. Knowing this, I’ve been enduring this
nauseating feeling.

In the first place, the royal capital’s existence itself is dark.

The land which this capital was built on was stolen from demi-humans. The Jioral
Kingdom set its eyes on a rich open land and burned all the demi-human villages that
were occupying it. The ones that fought back were either massacred or made into
slaves to build the new city.

That’s how they were able to make such a well optimized city. After all, there’s no
reason to preserve the demi-human villages.

Beautiful streets, beautiful buildings and smiling people. In the shadows of it all you
see the remnants of the land’s original owners, now enslaved and tortured.

The kingdom doesn’t allow for human slavery, but demi-humans are fine. As far as the
kingdom cares, the demi-humans are no different than beasts. Also, the demi-humans
also have something called a true name, which can be used to make them absolutely
obey any order. It’s convenient that the demi-humans don’t have access to human
rights.

This is truly…

“This city is beautiful just like Flare.”

I said what was on my mind. A beautiful exterior and a rotting interior. Exactly like her.

“I’m happy. I’m proud of this town, so this touches my heart more than any other
compliment.”

Without noticing my sarcasm, Flare makes a perfectly calculated smile.

Flare turned her gaze outside the window again. I’ll use this chance to use my Jade
Eye. I’ll confirm the strength I’ll need to escape.

These guys are the princess’ guards, so they must be top-notch. In that case, if I can
beat them, I should be able to escape no problem. There are six guards, all around the
same level of strength, this is one of them:

Race: Human

Name: Margurt

Class: Knight

Level: 31
Status:

MP: 57/57

Physical Attack: 63

Physical Defense: 63

Magical Attack: 31

Magical Defense: 44

Speed: 57

Abilities:

Fencing level 3

Martial Arts level 2

Skills:

Fencing Correction level 3: Knight skill. Adds a positive correction to attacks that use
a sword.

Horseback Correction level 2: Knight skill. Adds a positive correction to attacks while
riding a horse.

High physical attack and defense, as you’d expect from a Knight class. His level is also
high. Normal humans usually cap at around 20 to 30, and he’s past that upper limit.
As expected of a royal guard.

There are exceptions, but the class you awaken to is closely related to the environment
you grew up in. This guy probably comes from a family that has served as knights for
generations.

I focus my Jade Eye to see even more information.

Level Limit: 32
Talent Values:

MP: 40

Physical Attack: 90

Physical Defense: 90

Magical Attack: 40

Magical Defense: 60

Speed: 80

Total Talent Value: 400

He’s almost reached his level limit, but his talents aren’t bad. A good distribution with
a total of 400. Now, if I were to get in a fight with this guy, I’d be beaten helplessly. I
stop using my Jade Eye.

So, if I want to escape, I’ll have to overwhelm those stats. It feels like it’ll be a lot of
trouble.

Since my talents are distributed based on the Healer class, I’ll have to change them
with Transformation Heal. But assuming these guys are an elite unit, I should be able
to escape with some work.

“Keyaru-san, what’s wrong?”

Flare moves her gaze from the window and asks me.

“When I think about entering the royal castle now, I’m getting nervous.”

“That’s not unreasonable, but don’t worry. We all know Keyaru-san wasn’t in a
position to learn proper etiquette, and you were forced to come here, so most things
will be excused.”

Really, this woman is flawless. Like this, the carriage crossed the city and entered the
royal castle.
After I arrived at the royal castle, I was separated from Flare. I was accompanied by 5
maids, who made me bathe, put me in elegant clothes and taught me as much manners
as they could.

It seems I’ll have an audience with the king in a few hours, and I’ll have to do a lot of
tedious things.

I was surprised by how strong the maids here are. They are comparable to the knights
from before. They must have been sent here to observe me.

Without being able to really do anything, the time to have an audience with the king
came.

At that time, I was too excited to pay attention to it. The feeling of superiority from
being chosen as a Hero, charmed by Flare’s beauty, admiration from my first meeting
with the king and his expectations of me. All those things captivated my heart.

But now I’m calm. I wonder how the king will be reflected in my eyes? I’m looking
forward to it.
To have an audience with the king, I had my body cleaned, changed into the clothes
that were prepared for me, and was taught the bare minimum of etiquette.

Currently, I’d been summoned to the place right before the audience room, which was
just as the name suggested.

When the maids and I were heading towards the door leading to the audience room,
we met up with Flare and her attendant.

Flare changed from her magician appearance into an elegant dress.

“Keyaru-san, I’m surprised at how different you look. These clothes look great on you.”

“Thank you, Flare is also beautiful.”

“You flatter me. But I’m still happy about it.”

We exchange empty words with each other. It’s called social etiquette.

Then, the doors to the throne room open and we head inside.

“The Heroes have arrived!”

As soon as we walk in, an exaggerated voice echoes through the room. The room is
sized like it’s meant to be a joke. I can see that there’s an extravagant throne in the
back.
There’s an elderly man sitting on the throne, and to his left and right were the nobles
who are this country’s leaders.

Why go through all this effort to meet a single villager? It’s quite obvious when I think
about it, it’s because I’m a Hero.

A Hero is just that special. A normal human’s level limit is around 20 or 30, but Heroes
can get infinitely stronger. There’s also the ability that doubles the experience for the
entire party. To top it off, male Heroes can increase others’ level cap. The Hero extra
class also advanced the original class to much higher levels. A single Hero is worth a
thousand ordinary soldiers.

The maids urge me to move towards the king. Using the etiquette I’d learned, I kneel
down and bow my head. Just before I faced the ground, I used my Jade Eye to look at
the king. I’ll check his status and talents at the same time.

Race: Human (?)

a sword.

I close my Jade Eye.

I’m surprised. He’s too strong. He’s not even a Hero and his total talent is almost 500.
On top of that, everything except speed is above average and he has the Magic Knight
class, which can master both sword and magic. And his level limit is over 40, which is
already impossible for a normal person. A bonafide monster.

By the way, the star next to the level means you have reached the level cap. It also
shows up on the Appraisal, that’s how someone finds their limit normally.

Come to think of it, I remember hearing that the royal family takes in the blood of
Heroes in order to create a strong lineage. In that case, I can understand this strength.

But what worries me is that question mark after human. It’s the first time I’ve seen
anything like that. There’s no doubt he’s done something that has strayed him from
humanity.

“You did well coming here, new Hero. Raise your head.”

“Yes, your majesty!”

I raise my head as told, and as I do so I think about my escape plan. I should escape
when the king is away. His individual power is dangerous, but also, if the king is out,
the elite guards will also be out, making it the perfect time for an escape.

“Fumu, a good expression. Flare told me that your class is Healer. Is there no mistake
about that?”

“Yes, it’s as she said.”

For just a moment, I see the king’s disappointed face. Healing can be done with other
things, so the king must have wanted a combat-oriented Hero with more firepower.
But he quickly puts up his mask again.

“Having a Hero with the power of healing is what our country needed the most, so I’m
quite pleased with your awakening. I grant you the title of Healing Hero.”

“I’m grateful for that title, and I shall call myself the Healing Hero from now on.”

You needed me, huh? How can you say such a shameless thing right in front of me?
Suppressing my inner anger, I let out words of gratitude.

“Healing Hero, in our long fight with the demons, many soldiers have been injured to
the point they can’t fight anymore. There are many among them who can’t even be
cured with the legendary medicine, the miraculous elixir. However, a Hero who
specializes in healing might be able to heal them.”

“I haven’t used my powers yet, so I can’t be sure that they will work.”
“Since you’re a Hero, you will surely be able to heal them. In a week, the country’s
strongest swordswoman, the Sword Saint, will visit the royal castle. If it’s just about
swordsmanship, she’s even superior to the famous Sword Hero.”

Sword Saint, that’s a nostalgic name. I want to copy her skills at all costs. Unlike the
Sword Hero, who relies on pure strength, the Sword Saint’s movements are beautiful
and efficient.

“The Sword Saint fought a high-level demon the other day and lost her right arm. I
want you to heal her if possible. Until then, study a lot about about Heroes, we’ll
prepare the best teachers.”

While I ignored the king’s words, I thought that history really was completely
repeating itself. I’ll use Heal for the first time on the Sword Saint. It really was the
worst first patient to have.

Heal allows the caster to go through the entire history of their target. All their
experiences and pain. All to know the optimal state to restore them.

The experience of being the Sword Saint, who has run through thousands of
battlefields, was too much for me, a mere villager, to handle. Even though I healed the
Sword Saint, it became a trauma and I couldn’t use Heal again. Until I was drugged.

“Understood, I will dedicate my power to this country.”

“Fumu, good attitude. You may leave.”

Like that, the audience ended just like it did last time.

After the audience ended, I was given a room to rest. I was also given a dedicated
teacher so I could study hard. I was taught various things that are needed on an
adventure, general education and etiquette. A lot of things were hammered into my
head. At this point, I realize that they are still trying to treat me like a proper Hero.

After studying came some light sword practice. Even though Healers can’t really use
swords, it’s still good to know for self protection. After that was dinner and a bath.
Night had come in the blink of an eye.
I lie down on the bed that was prepared for me in the room I was given. It was a high
quality bed that I could never dream of in my life as a villager. My fatigue had really
built up, so I was tired.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, the door made a sound of opening and I looked in the
direction of the door. A young woman had entered my room, she was the first maid I
was introduced to. A watcher with power equal to the knights.

“Hero-sama, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. Please hold me.”

She wore lascivious clothing that stuck to her skin. The woman pushed me down and
started undressing me.

“S-stop, please stop.”

“Even if you say that, this part of you is energetic isn’t it?”

“Really, stop. Why are you doing this?”

“I said it. I fell in love. You don’t have to worry, I will teach you everything.”

“Please stop, onee-chan.”

I resist desperately, but I can’t do anything with my level being just 1. I only recently
became an adult and got my class, and now I’m being raped.

“I’m scared, I’m scared.”

Regardless of my mental age, I try to act like an innocent 14 years old boy who has just
come of age. It seems I pulled some of her heartstrings and she had fun assaulting me.

The woman leaves and I laugh to myself. So far, it has been the same as my past life.

“I really enjoyed it the first time.”

I was a healthy young boy who was approached by an erotic older woman. I was also
a virgin. There’s no way I didn’t like it.

But this time I couldn’t be purely happy, because I know her true objectives.
There were two. The first is to win me over. Make me easy to manipulate by letting me
indulge in pleasure.

The other is increasing her level cap. Heroes have an infinite level limit, but male
Heroes can also increase others’ level caps by 1 by pouring the source of life directly
into them.

But it doesn’t matter how many times you do it in a day, it’ll only increase by 1. Unless
the semen is thick, you won’t increase your cap.

Simply put, if you have sex with a Hero you get stronger. If I think about it, maybe the
reason why these maids are so strong is because they’re actually female adventurers
trying to get stronger. A level difference makes a big difference depending on the talent
values.

“So this is going to happen every night.”

The maids are going to come every night to increase their level cap. It’s not like I can
resist anyway, so let’s have fun. It’s a win-win.

A week has passed since I came to the royal castle. I’ve learned a lot of things and have
gotten used to the nightly visits. It’s better to do it with a girl than a guy at least.

While I was drugged, I was mercilessly forced to do it with men. Some guys are fine
with everything as long as their level increases, so they happily suck. That’s also
another reason for my revenge, I won’t forgive this humiliation.

And then, the fateful day finally came. The day I was judged as a worthless tool by
princess Flare and became livestock.

I will be summoned to a certain room and I’ll meet the Sword Saint, Kureha Clyret. The
girl with the most beautiful swordsmanship in the world.
Sword Saint Kureha Clyret.

There’s no one in the kingdom who doesn’t know that name.

The Clyret family is the strongest swordsmen family. They are a great noble family that
is feared as Jioral’s sword.

They are entirely focused on creating the strongest swordsmen. They continuously
take in strong blood in order to produce more powerful children specializing in
swordsmanship. That’s basically insanity. Rumor has it that, if there’s no strong blood
to take from the outside, they will perform inbreeding to preserve their bloodline.

For hundreds of years, this family has focused only on the sword. As a result, an extra
class emerged.

Its name is… Sword Saint.

Studies have shown that one’s class is related to their blood as well as their
upbringing. The only family in the world that has ever awakened the Sword Saint extra
class is the Clyret.

That’s not all. In addition to their class and status, the Clyrets’ sword is the strongest
in terms of pure swordsmanship. It’s to the point it can be considered art. But it’s not
just a spectacle, it’s been honed by blood and iron in countless battles.

And even in all that, Kureha Clyret is considered the greatest genius of all time.

“I want the Clyret sword no matter what.”

In the previous world, I was too inexperienced with Heal to learn Kureha’s abilities. I
was also scared and wasn’t used to the pain. Countless other experiences swept away
the memories of the strongest sword, so I wasn’t able to learn it. I won’t make that
mistake again. I will engrave the Clyret experience in me.

I can’t get the extra class of Sword Saint, but I can get the Sword Saint’s skills. With
just that, I’ll probably be able to win any sword fight, so long as it’s not against Kureha
herself.

As usual, I was in my room studying when the maid came to call me.

“Healing Hero, the Sword Saint has arrived to see you. We’ll be waiting in the Lainala
room. Please show her your power as the Healing Hero.”

I chuckle. The first time I did this, I was full of motivation.

I fell in love with Flare and indulged in my carnal desires with the maids. I really felt
myself being a Hero. I wanted to show them my cool side.

I’m still full of motivation, but this time it’s for the Sword Saint’s skills.

I have also increased my level to the point I can just barely use Imitation Heal.

Level Limit Breakthrough (self): Hero exclusive skill. No level limit.

Level Limit Breakthrough (others): Hero exclusive skill. By giving body fluids with
magic power, there’s a chance the other party’s level cap will be increased by 1.

I raised my level to 5.

The secret to my getting stronger without fighting monsters lies in my fourth ability
with Heal, Looting.

When I use Heal, a magical path opens between the target and me. It’s a two-way path,
so I can use it to steal experience or magic power from the target. But I can’t take
experience that has become part of the body and has been used to level up, I can only
take what’s floating about without being used.

At night, while the maids are assaulting me, they’re defenseless. So I used that chance
to use Looting Heal on them, so I was able to barely get to the point of being able to
use Imitation Heal.

Because of Looting Heal, I can let myself be drugged without worry. Even while living
like livestock and forced to continuously use Heal, I’ll keep stealing experience and
raising my level. Once I get all the skills I want and reach a satisfactory level, I’ll escape.

At that time, I’ll fulfill the promise I made in my previous life. I’ll destroy Flare and
make her my pet.

I visited the Lainala room to meet the Sword Saint, Kureha Clyret.

Lainala is a bluish white flower that is the national symbol of this country. All the
country’s citizens love this flower.

The Lainala room is an indoor garden. It’s the most beautiful place in the castle, filled
with colorful flowers.

I heard that Flare made it as a hobby. She has a horrible personality, but good taste.
Well, it’s also a big waste of money, so maybe it’s still bad.
While I was thinking about that, the visitor seemed to have noticed me.

“Hello. Are you perhaps the Healing Hero?”

A girl wearing a white knight’s uniform, which is easy to move in, calls to me.

No openings, a sword that can easily pierce anyone and elegant behavior. Anyone
would know who she is after seeing her once.

“I am Keyaru, the Healing Hero. I was ordered by the king to heal you. I have heard
rumors. It’s an honor to meet you, Sword Saint Kureha Clyret.”

There’s no doubt she’s the strongest Sword Saint. Long silver hair, expressionless but
beautiful face. No one would believe that such a pretty girl is the Sword Saint. At least,
until they saw her in person.

“It seems you know who I am, but I’ll properly introduce myself. I am Kureha Clyret, a
former Sword Saint.”

She said former.

The reason is simple. Her right arm is no longer there. Her sleeve is simply hanging.

She lost her arm fighting a high level demon, an opponent even a Hero might struggle
against.

“Shall we get started right away?”

“Yes, please. Even the elixir can’t heal this, so I can only depend on your power.”

Kureha bit her lower lip. The Clyret family only cares about the sword, If she can’t hold
a sword then her existence has no value.

No, there is one, making a child. She would be forced to live only to birth more children.
The title of the strongest Sword Saint would become a curse to haunt her to the rest
of her days.

“Kureha, could you turn your back to me? Heal works better like that.”

Kureha nods and turns her back to me. It’s a complete lie, I’m only saying this so I can
use my Jade Eye. If I was facing her, it would be impossible to hide the eye.

Now, let’s see the strength of the strongest Sword Saint.

Strong!

What the hell, this is totally broken.

The talent values are on the level of a Hero. And what’s with this level cap? I didn’t
even think a normal human could achieve level 50. And this talent distribution is so
artistic. Only what’s needed for a Sword Saint is high, and what’s unneeded is low.

Not just that, Divine Sword is the highest level of sword abilities.

She also has abilities that give her an overwhelming advantage in close combat, and
that’s further improved by her skills.

A monster beyond doubt. There’s no way I can beat the Sword Saint one-on-one. Even
a Hero would have to overwhelm her in levels and people in order to challenge her.

“Is this fine?”

“Yes. I’ll begin the healing.”

I can’t wait to get my hands on Divine Sword and Abandonment. I can’t copy the skills,
but just those two are already plenty.
“Please wait a minute!”

Right as the treatment was about to begin, the Magic Hero Flare walked in. An old man
was coming along with her.

“Flare? What’s going on?”

“I also want to see Keyaru-san actually use Heal.”

Now I remember, yeah, it’s the same as last time. The old man with Flare is the chief
of magic research.

Depending on the Hero, they can elevate their class’ skills to a level beyond the norm.
That guy is here to check if I’m like that.

“Oh, please don’t mind me.”

“Me neither.”

I have no reason to refuse, and I can’t refuse first of all. So let’s just get started.

For all intents and purposes, this is my first Heal. I know a terrible pain will assault
me, but I have yet to experience it in this world.

It’s a 50-50 if I’ll be able to endure it. After repeating it a few times, I’ll get used to it
and get the Pain Resistance skill, making my brain produce endorphins at will. But
right now I have none of that, so I’ll just have to power through it.

I’ve been prepared from the beginning, so let’s do it.

“Here I go. Heal!”

It was at that moment.

All the experiences of Sword Saint Kureha Clyret attacked me.

Training since childhood that I can only think of as abuse.

Days colored in blood, thousands of battlefields.

Her body getting worn out every day. Every day was dyed with her blood as well as
the blood of her enemies.

Kureha is a teenager, and her level is over 40. That’s not normal. Every day is hell. Kill,
kill, keep killing…

It hurts, it’s painful, it’s scary, help me.

“Ah, ah, ah.”

My voice leaks out, my vision is blurred.

In just an instant, I experienced the full hell that Kureha Clyret went through her whole
life. Tears start spilling out and I resist the urge to cut off my own neck. I can activate
Heal at will, but I can’t deactivate it once it starts.

The existence that is me is literally breaking, but I fulfilled my job. Kureha’s right arm
is restored. It’s restored to its prime, I perfectly recreated every muscle, habit and
reflexes of that arm.

Once I finished, I fell down with tears spilling out of my eyes and drool spilling out of
my mouth. My whole body was convulsing.

“It’s healed. My arm, it’s really back! It’s amazing, a miracle. With this, I can fight again.”

Kureha Clyret’s voice rang out. I watched her with my blurry vision.

I was prepared for pain, but not this much.

Well, I fainted the first time, so this is progress. After all, I’m still conscious. Thanks to
that, I was able to use Imitation Heal. The Divine Sword and Abandonment are now
mine.

“Thank you, Keyaru… What happened?!”

Kureha finally noticed my condition, after getting out of her tunnel vision due to joy.
She came up to me and held me. She has a surprisingly decent personality.
I pretend to faint in order to catch Flare. With my eyes closed, I listen carefully. Kureha
was kicked out of the room, saying she would be an obstacle to the treatment. On her
way out, she expressed her thanks.

“Tell Keyaru when he wakes up. Thanks for letting me hold the sword again. I will
never forget this. I’ll make sure to repay him to my full abilities.”

She really is a good girl. Now, what about this time’s Flare? While I was thinking that,
Flare began speaking.

“Not even able to use Heal, his only redeeming quality. He really might be useless. Even
though he brought the Sword Saint back, it might be pointless.”

Unaware that I was conscious, Flare began showing her true colors. But, unlike her,
the old man researcher was rather happy.

“Princess Flare, this is amazing. What this boy used wasn’t just a simple Heal.”

“It’s just Heal, isn’t it? What’s the difference?”

“The fundamentals are different, it’s on a different dimension! The original Heal spell
only activates the body’s own self-healing functions. It can only heal wounds that the
human body can heal on its own. A gouged eye won’t come back, and an arm that has
been cut off won’t regrow. But his Heal is different! Deconstruction and
reconstruction, creating something from nothing, or maybe rewinding time. In any
case, it’s in the divine realm! It’s exciting. There must also be a secret in his pain. I’ve
never seen a Healer react like that before! I want to research it, and if I can uncover its
secrets I, I-!”

This guy is bad. I’m getting terrified.

“Is that so? Then maybe he does have some uses. Drugs, brainwashing, do whatever
you need to control him. He’ll probably use pain as an excuse to not use Heal again.
Make him heal at least 20 warriors, I don’t care if you end up breaking him after that.
You’ll probably have found out the truth behind his magic by then.”

“As you wish. I’ll kindly break him so that I can collect lots of data. If the problem is
pain and fear, it’ll be fine to use hypnosis and drug him so he feels pleasure.”

Just like that, my destiny was decided by these two. I see, so Flare had already given
up on me by here huh. I understand.

“I’ll leave the rest to you. Seriously, to think this trash is a Hero like me, it makes me
disgusted. He’s even giving us work by having to figure out how his powers work.”

Flare left. I was struggling to hold back my laughter. I’m really truly happy. No matter
what, that woman is still trash!

Aah, thank you, thank you so much. For still being the same piece of shit you were the
first time. Now I can take my revenge without any hesitation. This time, there won’t
be any mercy.

When I finish copying the skills from everyone, that will be your end.
When I opened my eyes, I noticed I was in a white room. When I looked around, the
old man from before appeared in my vision.

“Woah!”

A surprised voice ended up coming out.

“What?!”

The old man, surprised by me, ended up also letting out a strange voice. Wait, let me
calm down and analyze the situation first.

Now I remember. While I was pretending to be unconscious, I ended up actually

blacking out.

In just an instant, I experienced the whole hell that Kureha Clyret has lived through
until now. The sacrifices necessary to become the strongest at such a young age were
more than I could handle.

And I recognize this room. This is a medical treatment room. And the man in front of
me is the chief of magic research in the kingdom.

He was probably treating me as a doctor, as well as checking to see if there was

anything wrong with my magic circuits.

“Are you finally awake, Healing Hero? Are you feeling sick anywhere?”

Now, how should I answer? To be honest, there’s nothing wrong with my body. Unlike
the first time, I was able to handle it fairly well, since I had an idea of what to expect.
But, if I want my revenge, I can’t say that I’m fine.

I’m perfectly fine. I could just say “bring on the next person to heal” and change history
and probably live a happy life.

But I don’t want that. To get my revenge, I have to retrace history a little further.

“Hii- don’t come! I hate it! I don’t want to be hurt anymore! It’s scary!”

I act out of control, just like the first time.

From what I remember, I was really traumatized by my first time using Heal. I felt like
I had to protect myself at all costs. I started picking up random things and throwing
them. Let’s start with the pillow.

“Calm down! No one will force you to use Heal, so let’s just talk.”

“Really?”

I act like I went back to being a child. It may seem strange, but it would happen to
anyone if they had to experience the Sword Saint’s life in a single instant. It’s simply
too extreme.

“It’s true. So let’s talk for a bit.”

Now, while the chief of magic research is trying to calm me down, I have to act like I’m
actually calming down little by little. It’s hard, since I’m actually perfectly calm on the
inside.

“First of all, can you tell me why you suddenly collapsed?”

“The moment I used Heal on the Sword Saint, all her thoughts and experiences flowed
into me. All her training, wounds and battles, everything. When I realized it I had fallen
over.”

The chief of magic research looked at me with suspicious but curious eyes.

“I see, so it’s not the usual Healer’s Heal, which simply speeds up the body’s natural
recovery. Normally, it’s not necessary for a Healer to understand the target of their
Heal, but it’s needed for the Healing Hero so he can do a perfect recreation.
Interesting.”

I’m surprised. He made a fairly accurate guess. He really is an excellent magician.

While he was talking, I saw an opportunity and used my Jade Eye, but his level and
talents are just that of the ordinary magician.

He must be really smart, and also the kind to get absorbed into his research. Letting
his curiosity take over, he asked me a number of detailed questions. While I was
answering him, a new visitor appeared.

“I heard that Keyaru-san woke up, so I’ve come to see you. I was worried when you
suddenly fell over. I couldn’t stay calm.”

It’s impressive that her thoughts and words can differ so much. Her expression and
gestures are perfect, I can almost believe she’s actually concerned about me.

“Flare, thank you for worrying about me.”

“I’m glad you are well. The Healing Hero’s power is tremendous, you were able to
restore the Sword Saint’s arm, something even the elixir couldn’t do. Father will be
pleased to know this.”

Flare gave me a sweet smile along with those words.

“It was nothing.”

“It was something alright.”

She leans forward and grabs my hands.

“The Sword Saint’s power is greater than that of a thousand soldiers. The Sword Saint
will continue fighting and defeating demons. The reason why she can fight again is
because you healed her, in other words, her achievements from now on will also be
your achievements. As expected of the Healing Hero!”

She praises me to a level that even makes me feel sick. Thinking about her calculative
words, I can guess what she’s trying to get at.

“No, the one who will be fighting is the Sword Saint Kureha.”
“You’re too humble…”

Flare shows me another smile. “Here it comes”, I say to myself as I await her next
words.

“Actually… the Sword Saint is, unfortunately, not the only powerful fighter this country
had who needed healing. Keyaru-san, could you please lend them your power? Those
who you save will go on to save many others. I will call the Bow God immediately.
Please use your healing power again.”

Yes, Flare was praising me just to say this. By appealing to my conscience as a human
being, she was trying to block my escape route. Truly a Flare-like plan. But I won’t go
along with her.

“Wait!”

I screamed.

“I don’t want to use Heal anymore. I’m scared, it hurts. If I keep using it, I’ll either break
or I’ll stop being myself!”

With a pathetic voice, I let out a weak cry to Flare. She showed a surprised face.

“So your power has such a side-effect… but with it, the more people you heal and the
harder they work, the more lives will be saved. Could you please try a bit harder?”

She said with the voice of a saint, what a gentle tone.

“No, Flare can only say that because you don’t know! I can’t do it! I’ll never use Heal
again!”

I say with a loud voice. Flare keeps up her smile.

“I understand, I hadn’t realized it was that hard. It can’t be helped. You don’t have to
use Heal anymore, so please just get some rest for now.”

After those words, we had a small chat and then she left. She said she would come to
visit again later.
The next day, after my lessons, the maids brought me refreshments. Snacks and a cup
of tea to be more specific.

Flare didn’t say anything about Heal after that.

The first time, I really thought Flare was a kind person who cared about me. I decided
that, even if I couldn’t do it then, I would eventually try to live up to her expectations.
I was really stupid back then.

“It takes a lot of courage to drink this.”

I say to myself. I know what this tea is.

The reason why Flare hasn’t said anything about Heal is because she gave up on
persuading me, but she hasn’t given up on her goals. She has simply chosen an easier
method to get me to do what she wants.

This tea with sleeping drugs is the answer. I drink the tea with all my might.

Sudden drowsiness attacks me. This is where the hell begins.

I wake up. My body is tied to a chair. I see stone walls, iron bars and candles providing
light.

This place is the dungeon under the castle. The second most difficult place to escape
from.

“What’s happening? Where am I?!”

I scream and shout. It’s a natural reaction.

I hear a metallic clink sound. In that direction, I see a man with a large build and the
chief of magic research, who was wearing a robed hood that covers his entire face and
body.
As soon as the large man walks into the prison, he punches me, who was restrained in
a chair. I fall over, my cheek hurts like it’s burning.

“How dare you talk like that? Cheeky brat. Just shut up.”

Another punch. This situation is very simple.

Flare was having trouble persuading me, so she decided to lock me up in this dungeon
and drug me. She didn’t have the grace to try a second time.

My pure thought of “even if I can’t help now, I’ll help someday” was disregarded as if
it was worthless.

“It hurts, don’t hit me. What did I do?”

“What did you do? The problem is that you’re so worthless you can’t do anything!”

One more hit. Despite looking like this, this man is the captain of Flare’s royal guard.
And he’s intoxicated with Flare, to the point that he can’t forgive me for giving trouble
to his beautiful princess.

I’m getting beaten over and over, but I’m counting each blow. I don’t remember how
many there were from the first time, so I’ll make sure to count this time. I’m
determined to return it all back to him.

The lynching ends. The chair was knocked over and my mouth is filled with the taste
of blood.

The man pulls my bangs and forces me to look up at him.

“With this, maybe you felt one hundredth of the pain you gave princess Flare.”

“28.”

“Huh? What are you saying?”

“28 hits. I’ll never forget it.”

I’m a little vengeful. I’ll make sure to repay him for those hits.

“You’re unpleasant. Oi, old man, do your magic or whatever. Get on with it.”

“Really, you’re so violent. What would you do if he broke? He’s a valuable research
material.”

“As if I care.”

“Seriously, even though we can only break his mind, what do we do if you damaged his
brain?”

I feel a little bit of relief. Flare doesn’t care as long as I heal her warriors and she’s
probably thinking of discarding me after, but this old man is different. The chief of
magic research cares about me as his material, so he can let my mind be broken, but
nothing else. It’s thanks to his minimal consideration that I only got my mind broken
the first time.

Thanks to him, I’ll be able to live through that same hell again.

The chief of magic research begins wavering some kind of magic tool before my eyes.
It’s a tool that makes you fall into hypnosis.

If I wanted to, I could resist, but for now I’ll surrender myself to it. He then puts some
liquid in my mouth. It’s the drug. My consciousness is fading away, or rather, the drug
is filling it up.

Now, I have to say goodbye to my reasoning for a while. The drug is too powerful for
me to resist currently. I will completely lose my ability to think and reason. All that
will fill my mind is the drug.

But I will wake up eventually.

I’ve accumulated a lot of proficiency for the Drug Resistance skill, and even my soul
will try to resist the drug.

Eventually, I’ll be able to get enough proficiency to get the Drug Resistance. Once that
happens, I’ll recover my reasoning.

While I was thinking this, my consciousness was slowly engulfed in darkness.

~One month after Keyaru was put in the dungeon

“Dugs! Dugs! Give me drugsssss!!”

A boy was clinging to the bars and screaming. He did this not once or twice, but for a
few hours since morning.

Those were his withdrawal symptoms. He was a severe drug addict.

His fingernails were peeling off, and some spots on his head were bald from pulling
his own hair.

But his body remained clean. Every now and then, the guards would knock him out
and clean him. At night, he’s made to give his sperm to the knights so that their level
rises. That’s the only reason why they take care of him, they don’t want any nasty
disease to spread.

“He’s truly like a stray dog. Drugs drugs, does he have no pride?”

A girl comes to the cell where the boy is confined.

Light pink hair and a body full of feminine charm. But, the face that usually has a
compassionate expression is now full of disdain.

It was Flare, the Magic Hero and also the princess of this kingdom.

“That’s how someone who takes this drug ends up. I doubt he even remembers his
own name anymore.”

The old man who was accompanying her, the chief of magic research, corrects Flare.

“Father really is terrible for telling me to take care of this… thing. It’s disgusting.”

“Don’t say those things now.”

Finally, Flare unlocks the cage and opens the door. At that moment, the boy inside the
cage leaps at Flare, but the chain connected to the collar on his neck stretches to the
limit, strangling him. He falls to the ground with agony on his face.

After he fell, Flare kicked him on the head as hard as she could.
“Disgusting! Repulsive!”

Even while saying that, she approaches the boy.

“It’s time to go to work. Here’s the drug you love so much. If you want it, you know
what to do.”

“Haa, haa, chinchin, chinchin.”

The boy imitates a dog, desperately begging for the drug. Flare kicked him in the
ground, making him trash about in pain.

“Kyan, kyan, kuuuun, kuuun.”

Even though the boy is completely broken by the drugs, he knows he won’t get the
drugs he wants if he stops pretending to be a dog here. While clutching his groin, he
continues his act.

“You’re smart for a dog. Here’s your drug.”

Flare purposefully drops the viscous drug on the ground, making him lick it off. He
continues to lick the dirty floor even after the drug is all gone. Even so, Flare doesn’t
have any pity for him.

He can’t go out in public without easing his withdrawal a little. By giving him a small
dose of the drug now, he can be made to follow orders and obey properly.

“Hey, dog, pay attention. It’s the same as the usual, don’t say a word and only use Heal
when I tell you to. If you don’t obey, I won’t give you any drugs when you come back.”

“Kyan! Kyan!”

While still on the ground, he raised his face happily. Flare stepped on his face.

“You really are disgusting!”

But the boy didn’t care, he only cared about the drugs. He was happy because he was
going to get more drugs soon, that’s why he was still smiling. That was all he could
think of.
Flare frees him from his iron chained collar. He should properly listen for a few tens
of minutes, but Flare was a little scared. There was always the chance he’d go crazy at
any moment.

Quickly make him use Heal and put him back. That was Flare’s plan.

“Follow me.”

As soon as she turned her back to him, Flare felt a terrifying chill. An extremely dense
killing intent and the premonition of her death.

She turned around, but there he was. A piece of trash, no better than a dog. He was
following her silently as instructed.

Flare convinced herself it was all on her mind and kept walking.

Anger wells up inside me.

Yes, it’s anger. My head was foggy, but, little by little, my mind that could only think of
drugs clears up and my thoughts come back.

“You really are disgusting!”

A girl looks at me like she’s looking at trash and then stomps on my face.

Who is this girl? My head, which had lost the ability to think, and my soul are raising
a voice of resentment towards the girl. Even if my mind was dead, my soul kept
screaming.

This is the woman who took everything from me. The source of the hell I had to go
through.

Unforgivable. I swore I wouldn’t forget it.

Even if I lose my memory, even if I lose my mind, I swore I wouldn’t forget the pain
etched in my soul.
That’s why the pain overflowing from my soul awoke my mind. It’s coming back to me.

With a burning rage, I light a fire on my mind and resist the drug. That drug is like a
chain. But, the bigger the chain, the more proficiency I gain by resisting it.

And finally, the time came. The proficiency I accumulated from the poisoned
mushrooms and plants in the forest added to my resistance now finally gave me the
Drug Resistance skill.

Aah, I understand.

My name is Keyaru.

I am me.

Suddenly, my head cleared up. Thanks to the Drug Resistance skill, I am me again! I
see my enemy, Flare, with her back towards me.

I felt a crazy desire to kill. Flare’s shoulders twitched and she turned towards me.

Oh no, I have to suppress my killing intent. I managed to keep my composure. Flare

looked at me suspiciously and then turned around again. She must have thought that
that murderous intent I leaked out was her imagination.

The memories of the time when I’d lost myself came back to me.

Once again, it seems they did as they pleased with me.

But thanks to that, I gained pain resistance and increased the number of skills I can
use. My level has also gone up, so I must have been using Looting Heal.

This is what you call human persistence. I could say about 80% of my revenge
preparations are completed. All that remains is to make a detailed plan and put it into
action.

Now, Flare, I’m going to humiliate you more than you humiliated me. You might think
you have me on a leash for now, but I’m completely free.

My heart was burning, but my mind was cold. I have to think of a way to escape with
a kidnapped Flare after I break her.
The day I settle the score is drawing near.
Thanks to the Drug Resistance and my hatred for Flare, I was able to come back to my
senses.

It was a dangerous bridge to cross, so much so that cold sweat ran down my back. But
there were two reasons why I had to let this happen to me.

Even I wouldn’t be able to endure the pain without pain resistance, so I needed to
depend on the drugs for a while. I needed the drugs so I could keep using Heal until I
gained pain resistance.

The other reason is that I needed a motive for revenge. Even if the first Flare treated
me badly, this time’s Flare hadn’t done anything against me yet. It wouldn’t be
aesthetically pleasing to take revenge on her like that.

In reality, I could have met Flare’s expectations and built up a good relationship. If I
showed the true power of Heal, I could have easily gained Flare and the king’s favor.

But I didn’t want that. It wouldn’t have cleared my resentment.

Besides, even if I kept healing the people Flare told me to, my actions would still be
limited and I wouldn’t be truly free. It would just be a different kind of prison.

That’s why I traced history so far. Thanks to that, I gained pain resistance, built up my
strength and gained a motive for revenge.

“You’re slow. Hurry up you stupid.”

Flare, who was walking in front of me, said so in an unpleasant voice.

I follow Flare out of the basement and arrive at the Lainala room. We’re moving out of
the dungeon to heal someone Flare had selected. From her conversation with the old
man, the head of magic research, I know that it’s the alchemist that will be healed this
time.

I’m thankful. His abilities in alchemy will be really useful, so I’d definitely like to learn
it.

“I want to finish quickly and go to the bath. This dog’s smell is already impregnated in
me. I’ll have to throw away this dress.”

As usual, Flare has quite a venomous tongue when there’s no one around. So you don’t
like my smell, huh? I’ll be sure to soak you in it later, all the way to your insides.

I thought that, but I kept quietly following her like I’d been ordered to.

We arrived at the Lainala room, the same room where I healed Kureha.

It seems Flare really wants to show this place off, since we use this room quite
frequently.

The alchemist was missing both arms. Considering the wounds were carbonized, it
was probably an accident during an experiment rather than a wound from a fight with
an enemy.

Flare and the alchemist were smiling at each other as I watched them quietly. She
introduced me as a quiet person. Not a bad excuse.

Since they aren’t paying attention to me, I’ll check the alchemist’s status with my Jade
Eye.

Skills:

Metal Tempering Magic Ability Improvement level 2: Alchemist skill. Reduction in MP

cost and increase in accuracy.

Blacksmithing Ability Improvement level 1: increase concentration and accuracy

when using the Blacksmithing ability.

This alchemist seems to be named Wachilda. Most of his talents are only slightly above
average. His level limit isn’t really high. But what makes him an important person is
his rare class of Alchemist, and the alchemy only those who have that class can use.

You could even say that alchemy magic is all-purpose magic.

Blacksmithing, compounding, it encompasses everything needed for alchemy.

Extracting active ingredients from materials, stirring, separating, heating, melting

metals, pressuring, depressurizing, etc. Anything is possible depending on the user’s
ideas. That’s why I definitely want it.

As long as I can’t increase my abilities with skills, I would never be able to win against
an actual magician. That’s why I want this magic, whose power is dependent only on
knowledge.

Since I’ve decided to use only 1 slot for magic, alchemy is a must.

Yes, there’s a limit to the skills I can copy with Imitation Heal.

I can accumulate knowledge as much as I want, but I can only copy 5 skills at once.
That’s my body’s limit.

Maybe it’ll increase as I raise my level, but for now it’s only 5. But, so long as the
experience and knowledge remain vivid in my mind, I can freely swap the skills. From
my experience, the time I can keep skills on my mind without using them is at most 1
month after I use Imitation Heal.

Choosing just 5 is troubling. The Sword Saint’s skills of Divine Sword and
Abandonment are a must, so is Alchemy Magic. That only leaves 2 slots to be swapped
depending on the situation.

While I was thinking, it seems that the conversation between Flare and the alchemist
ended. She instructed me to use Heal.

Pretending to be a dog on a leash, I use Heal as I’m told.

Of course, behind the scenes, I gain skills with Imitation Heal and steal experience
with Looting Heal. The alchemist’s skills are now ingrained into my body.

Not just that, the experience filled up and my level went up. Thanks to the pain
resistance, the side effects of Heal are on a bearable level. I’ll be able to use Heal
without worry from now on.

I’ll check my status later. Without knowing my actual strength, I won’t be able to make
any plans.

After that, we parted ways with the alchemist and I was thrown back into the dungeon.
As a reward, I was given a lot of drugs. They were even kind enough to throw it on my
face and spit at me.

I’m starting to think Flare is abusing me not due to disgust, but because she actually
likes it.

What a good hobby. I plan to give it all back to Flare, so really she’s just digging her
own grave without knowing it. She’s done so much for me I’ll be troubled to keep her
sane by the time I’m done.

Well, it doesn’t really matter. If Flare breaks, I’ll fix her with Heal. I won’t let her escape.

After Flare left, I used Heal to fix my drug dependency and start thinking of a plan with
my now properly working head.

Even my sense of time is fuzzy. Eventually, something that looked like dinner was
brought to me.

A piece of bread floating on soup. There’s no knife or fork, they really want me to eat
with my bare hands. They’re really treating me like livestock.

But I’m thankful for the soup. I’m able to look at my own reflection in it and use my
Jade Eye. The guards aren’t looking in my cell, so there’s no problem.

Healing Magic.

EXP increase: Hero exclusive skill. Doubles the values of EXP for you and your party.

Level Limit Breakthrough (self): Hero exclusive skill. No level limit.

Level Limit Breakthrough (others): Hero exclusive skill. By giving body fluids with
magic power, there’s a chance the other party’s level cap will be increased by 1.

Even while I could barely think due to the drugs, I kept using Looting Heal and
increasing my level. As a result, I’m now level 29. 29 is close to the cap a normal person
usually gets.

About skills, it seems my healing magic leveled up as well. Other than the Sword Saint
and Alchemist skills I fixed for myself, I also added Ground Shrinker and Serene, since
they seem useful and I still remember them.

The skills’ levels are 1 level lower than those of Kureha or Wachilda, but that’s just
how it is with Imitation Heal. It copies the skill, but lowers the level by 1.
Out of those other 2 skills, Ground Shrinker lets me use high-speed movement and
Serene puts me into a state of deep concentration and it also accelerates my thoughts.
They are both really useful.

As long as there are no extreme circumstances, I should probably keep those 5 skills.
But, depending on the situation, Ground Shinker and Serene can be changed for
something else.

“But, even if my skills are good, the problem of my status remains.”

When I escape, I’ll be acting alone. No matter how hard I try, I probably can’t escape
unharmed. I need at least a minimum amount of defense. As it is, a single blow could
be fatal.

There’s also the problem of my offensive power. The instant death attack of Corruption
Heal isn’t very effective in terms of MP usage. Even if I can replenish my MP with
Looting Heal, I should still save as much MP as possible. There’s no guarantee I’ll get
to use Looting Heal.

In that case, the safest bet is to fight in close range. But the problem is that I have a
magician based status. I’ll have to play around with it a bit.

“Transformation Heal.”

I optimize myself with Transformation Heal, making my talent values rise slightly. At
most, the improvement is less than 10%, but it’s better than nothing. To improve
myself further, I’ll need to do something else.

Race: Human

Name: Keyaru

Talent Values:

MP: 110 → 116

Physical Attack: 50 → 53

Physical Defense: 50 → 53
Magical Attack: 105 → 111

Magical Defense: 125 → 132

Speed: 120 → 126

Total Talent Value: 560 → 591

My body became properly stronger.

But this still isn’t enough. The parameters I need for physical combat haven’t even
reached 60, which is the standard for ordinary humans. So I need to do
Transformation Heal again.

I can’t raise my talents anymore, so I have to redistribute them. My MP and magic

defense are a bit extreme right now, so let’s put that excess into physical attack and
defense. My magic attack is also more than I need right now, but I want to keep it with
at least 100, since it can affect the accuracy of Heal. I can’t mess with speed, since it’s
the base of everything, and I’ll need it anyway.

So my optimal distribution right now is…

Race: Human

Name: Keyaru

Talent Values:

MP: 116 → 80

Physical Attack: 53 → 130

Physical Defense: 53 → 83

Magical Attack: 111 → 100

Magical Defense: 132 → 72

Speed: 126 → 126

Total Talent Value: 591 → 591

This is the ideal distribution for me to escape.

With this, even at level 29, I can escape this place.

But I still have to pay back Flare for everything she had done to me. I’ve decided that
her punishment will be to lose herself and become my convenient tool. To do that, I’ll
need 5 more levels. In other words, I only need 5 more levels.

The time for my revenge has been decided. After I get 5 more levels and the king leaves
with his elite knights. At that moment, security will be weak. Until then, I just have to
be patient. But perhaps not for too long.

It’s been two weeks since I’ve regained my sanity. Since then, I’ve been living the worst
life.

I’m forced to have sex with the people who want to raise their level cap. Naturally, men
outnumber the women. The knights and adventurers are predominantly male.

My body became a toy for these men. Some of them even enjoyed fucking me, even
though there’s nothing to be gained from it. Some even came just for that, they seem
to enjoy young boys like me. They should all die.

But I endured it all. I resisted the urge to go mad and kept myself sane.

I didn’t mind being forced to use Heal on others. But, every time I did, princess Flare
made sure to trample on my dignity. I can’t count on one hand the number of times I
wanted to kill her on the spot. The only reason I was able to endure so far was because
of this day.

For the past two weeks, all I could think of was how to get revenge on princess Flare
in the most amusing way possible. I’ll do it brutally, gruesomely and with no mercy,
until she begs me to kill her.

Even if she bites off her tongue, I’ll heal her instantly and continue!
After I’m done, I’ll erase Flare’s very existence, turn her into a cute pet, and make her
live the rest of her life as my useful tool! I can do that with Transformation Heal!

It’s late at night now. Everyone is probably sleeping. In the darkness, my Jade Eye was
shining.

The soldiers on guard are unprepared. They’d never expect me to escape.

“The time for patience is over.”

I learned that the king has left for another country this afternoon with his elite guards.
I have the ideal abilities and I raised my level sufficiently.

I’m ready to escape and go to Flare’s room.

“Let’s get this party started. I’m coming to get you, Flare.”

I removed my collar with alchemy. Then, I melted the iron chain of the collar, poured
it into the keyhole, cooled it down and made a makeshift key. Unlocking the jail was
no problem at all.

If my objective was just to escape, I could just head outside like this. But I want to take
revenge on Flare.

So I’ll go to Flare’s room now.

The time for revenge has begun! I left the jail and ran as fast as I could.
In the middle of the night, when most people are deep asleep, I use alchemy magic to
escape my prison.

It’s been a month since I was trapped there, and 2 weeks since I’ve regained my sanity.
During that time, I’ve gained levels and skills by using Imitation and Looting Heal on
many people. I’ve also gained knowledge that gives me power that the status doesn’t
show.

Furthermore, by using Transformation Heal, I optimized my own body by changing

the distribution of my talents to get a better status.

Level Limit Breakthrough (self): Hero exclusive skill. No level limit.

Level Limit Breakthrough (others): Hero exclusive skill. By giving body fluids with
magic power, there’s a chance the other party’s level cap will be increased by 1.

That’s my current status. It has an above average physical and magical defense,
making me a high speed vanguard with good attack power.

I optimized myself for 1-on-many fights, since I’m acting alone. I’ll try to avoid fighting
as much as possible, but when it happens it’ll probably be 1-on-many. It’s important
to be prepared.

Now, there’s no time to waste. Let’s start by getting rid of the guards who are supposed
to be paying attention to me.

Right now, the guard had his back facing me. I tried to make as little noise as possible
when opening the door, but they’ll surely notice in a few minutes’ time. So before
that…

I move silently and quickly. It’s not ingrained in my body as a skill, but amongst the
people Flare made me Heal was a person who was good at scouting. I’m making use
of his techniques to run without making noise.

I sneak up behind the guard with moves reminiscent of a cat. Humans can do this much
with technique alone without the help of skills. I touch the guard.

“Corruption Heal.”

An instant death that disregards any and all physical or magical defenses, Corruption
Heal. It destroys the body by “restoring” it to a deteriorated form. A power only I can
use.

Without being able to do anything, not even let out a scream, the guard becomes a
corpse. I catch him so his fall doesn’t make a noise and gently put him down on the
ground.
“It’s a pity I can’t use Looting Heal on corpses.”

I say to myself. Looting Heal can only be used on living things, so I can’t get any MP or
experience from a corpse.

For safety reasons, I want to kill the guards immediately, but then I won’t be able to
replenish my MP. It’s a problem because Corruption Heal is not very fuel-efficient. It
takes nearly 20 MP per use, meaning I can use it four times at most. I have to use it
carefully.

No, wait. I think I had a good idea. I’ll try it out later.

With this guard out of the way, I decided to rush over to the post the guards use.

There’s always two guards. One patrols the dungeon where I was imprisoned and the
other waits in the post. If the guard on patrol doesn’t come back, the guard on the post
can call for help.

In order to get more time before my escape is known, I have to deal with both guards.

I take the sword from the guard I just killed. Without a sword, I wouldn’t be able to
use the Sword Saint’s skills. The moment I grasped the sword, I felt the skill activating.
It soon became comfortable on my hand and I could feel my power growing.

There’s no time to waste, so let’s be quick about it.

I stealthily enter the guards’ office by making use of the scout’s technique. The guard
inside was doing paperwork. Thanks to that, he’s not paying attention to his
surroundings.

From my point of view, he’s just a sitting duck. I sneak behind him and extend my hand
to touch him.

“Corruption Heal.”

I use Corruption Heal for the second time. The guard collapses, but he’s still alive.
“Hmm, this is more convenient. Looting Heal.”

This time, I was able to take his MP and experience. I used Corruption Heal in a more
ingenious way this time. Rather than just killing him, I just broke his spinal cord,
basically putting him in a vegetative state. This way it’s safe and I can use Looting Heal.

I also used Heal to steal his memories and get information about the security system.

Now that I was able to restore my magic power, it’s time to begin preparations. I take
off the guard’s clothes and put them on.

“I wonder how much time I can buy with this.”

I turn my head as I change clothes. My escape won’t be discovered until the

replacement soldiers arrive at the guard station. According to the guard’s memory, it
would be another hour or so until it was time to switch. Once the replacement arrives,
my escape will be discovered.

But that’s enough time for me to accomplish my plan. Dressed as a soldier, I easily
escape from the dungeon.

After escaping from the dungeon, my next objective is the knights’ quarters.

If I just wanted to escape, there would be no need to go there. I have the memories of
the soldier I’m disguised as, so I could just keep pretending and wait for a chance to
escape.

But that’s not enough. For me to get my revenge against Flare, I need to go and see her
in person. That’s why this detour is necessary.

The lodging I’m going to is no ordinary place, it’s where Flare’s royal guards are.
They’re an elite unit that assemble only at her order. Being a knight of her personal
guard will be convenient to get close to her.

While using the Sword Saint’s Abandonment to find my enemies and using the scout’s
abilities to kill them, I make my way cautiously.
Just because I’m dressed as a guard doesn’t mean I can let myself be seen. I have to
remain as hidden as possible, it wouldn’t be funny if I’m found out after being yelled
at for leaving my post.

After leaving the main castle, where the dungeon is located, I make my way to the
knight’s quarters, which is a separate building.

But then I started hearing noises coming from the castle. It seems that I’ve been taking
too long.

“My escape has been found.”

I could tell from the unusual atmosphere. It’s best to assume the knights are already
awake and have been ordered to search the castle, seal the gates to the city and keep
watch for if I somehow make it past them. It’s probably also safe to assume the guards
I killed were found.

They’re probably thinking something along the lines of “it’s just a drug addict that’s
not even level 10, even a normal knight will be able to deal with him if he’s found”.
They have no idea how much this little misunderstanding helps me.

It’s sooner than I expected, but this fuss is also a part of my plan.

Now come on, make more noise.

Still in a soldier’s disguise, I arrived at the royal guards’ quarters and shouted.

“I’ve come to bring a message to the knights! A prisoner from the dungeon has
escaped! Please be on your guard!”

It was really easy to enter the guards’ quarters while pretending to be here under
orders to give them a message. Identifying myself as a soldier and the general
commotion outside gave me credibility.

The person at the reception desk rang the bell to wake up the knights. I explained that
I had to relay my message to the captain in person, so I was let in.

Even the knights have a difference in status. The treatment of commoner knights is
incomparable to that of the knights that come from nobility.

The lodging room I headed towards was the kind used by people of noble blood who
were chosen to be Flare’s royal guards, so it costs a lot of money. And this is probably
one of the best rooms.

The door was locked. But locks only exist for those who don’t know alchemy. So I
slowly open the door.

“Who the hell are you?!”

A big man was about to put on his armor. I remember him well. The captain of Flare’s
royal guard.

He’s the first person I saw in the underground prison. I decided to use him to get to
Flare. It’s not just because he has a useful position, I’m also a vindictive man, and most
importantly, I’m a man of my word.

“28 hits. I’ve come to pay you back for those.”

I smile at him. He still hasn’t understood what was happening, and I extend my hand
to him.

~30 minutes later, in a room in the royal castle.

“You’re all too late to gather. How can you call yourself this country’s elite, my personal
guard?!”

““We apologize!””

Flare’s royal guards were awoken by the first messenger, and then summoned to her
by the second.

Despite being in the middle of the night, Flare’s royal guards were in perfect order.

“Good grief, how was that dog able to escape under those conditions?”
Flare was biting on her thumbnail, her beautiful peach colored hair had unusual split-
ends. She had grown some fear of the Healing Hero recently, and that only grew once
she heard news of his escape.

That’s why she mobilized all the guards to thoroughly search for him, and she also
called in her royal guard.

They knew his status and skills, so there was no need to be afraid. But Flare felt fear,
even though there should be no reason to. It was her well-honed sixth sense telling
her of an impending crisis.

“With all due respect, princess Flare, I have something to report.”

Somewhat proudly, the captain of the royal guard opens his mouth to speak to Flare.

“In this situation, if you say something unimportant, I’ll get mad, you know?”

And she didn’t mean simply being angry. It wouldn’t be strange if she let out some
punishment in the limit of her authority.

“There’s a reason why we were late in coming here.”

“Are you going to make excuses?”

Flare’s expression was somewhat sadistic. In her mind, she was already imagining
branding the captain as useless.

“No, nothing like that. Princess Flare will surely be happy to hear this.”

“Go on then, say it.”

Flare’s smile was still somewhat cruel.

“Two messengers came to our lodging. The second one had a face we recognized, but
the first one was hiding his face. I found it suspicious, so I investigated it and it was
the Healing Hero. We arrived late because we were catching him. What an idiotic man.
To think he would sneak into the lodgings of Flare’s royal guard, which has the most
elite knights in the kingdom.”

As he said this, the royal guards pushed out a man bound by rope. His throat was
smashed, so he was unable to speak, save for the strange sounds he was making.

“I’m surprised. What was he even thinking to go there?”

His face was deformed from the beating he took, but Flare could see it was Keyaru,
since his features were still visible.

“He probably planned to escape by blending with the soldiers, but our security was
quickly set up, so he probably gave up the idea of escaping from the castle and then
tried to hide in an empty room. It’s amazing he thought such a stupid plan would
work.”

“Fufu, did he seriously think such a plan would work? You really are an idiot, aren’t
you?”

Flare smiles in a nice mood. With the source of her anxiety gone, she could finally
relax.

“Princess Flare, after I seized him I tried getting information as to how and why he
escaped. He said something that I couldn’t overlook. However, I’m not sure if it’s
alright for my subordinates to hear it, so I would like to talk in private.”

“Is it something to do with Heroes?”

“Yes. I trembled when I first heard it, so I would like to relay it to princess Flare at
once.”

Flare makes a thinking posture, and then she smiles happily.

“Very well. Even if I dismiss everyone, here isn’t a good place, so come to my room.
Information regarding Heroes is top secret after all. The rest of you can go back to rest
after throwing that trash back in the dungeon. I’ll go later to give him plenty of
discipline so he never tries something like this again.”

The Healing Hero, who was more beaten up than tattered rags, tried to plead
something with his crushed throat, but all that did was annoy the knights, who beat
him up again.

“I don’t mind if you hit him, but please try to not kill him, since he still has his uses.
Punish him as much as you want, but hold back just a little.”
The knights dexterously continued their assault while avoiding fatal injuries. Thanks
to Flare, the Healing Hero managed to avoid being killed, but he was thrown back in
the dungeon after a beating.

“Well then, follow me, royal guard captain. My room is the most soundproof place in
the castle, the perfect place for a private conversation.”

In a good mood, Flare returned to her room with the royal guard captain and maids as
escorts.

Flare’s room was decorated with the best furniture one can imagine. And yet, there’s
no vulgarism, only sophistication. It really showed that a member of the royal family
had picked all of this.

“There’s no greater reward than to enter my room, is there, royal guards’ captain?”

“Yes, it’s a happiness I’m grateful for.”

The royal guard captain bowed his head thankfully to show his gratitude.

“Now then, please talk. I’m curious as to what that trash told you.”

“About that…”

The royal guard captain showed a wicked smile. Not the kind you’d show to your
mistress. With that wicked smile, he took out his sword and decapitated the two
maids.

His speed was comparable to the Sword Saint’s. No matter how strong the maids
attending to Flare were, it would be unreasonable to expect them to react to that.

The royal guard captain, who had just slaughtered the maids, raised the corners of his
lips into a smile and his eyes glowed. He swung his left hand, which wasn’t holding a
sword, towards Flare, punching her in the cheek.

Flare was blown away and slammed against the wall. She then fell to the ground. The
royal guard captain rides Flare and then grips onto her face.
“Looting Heal.”

All the magic power was pulled out of Flare, who was in a complete panic. Her cheek
was burning, she was afraid of the man in front of her, and she didn’t understand what
was going on.

“Flare, even if you are the Magic Hero, without magic power, you’re the same as any
girl. You can try to resist, but it’s pointless.”

“Royal guard captain, what in the world do you think you’re doing?!”

“Royal guard captain? Oh, you mean me.”

The royal guard captain had a strange look for a moment, but then he started laughing
loudly.

“Transformation Heal.”

The royal guard captain uses magic, then his body begins to change. First, he became
a size smaller, and then his face also changed. Flare was surprised to see that face.

“Your cute dog that you hate the most, Keyaru-kun, has come to play. I was lonely, so I
escaped from my prison to see my owner! Just kidding, ahahahahahaha.”

It was Keyaru, the person who Flare despised and treated as a dog and abused at any
given chance. He had changed his own appearance with Transformation Heal.

The man who had been beaten up and had his throat crushed was the true royal guard
captain. It was only now that Flare understood the situation.

Her attendants had been killed, and she was alone with the man who held the deepest
grudge towards her in the most soundproof room in the castle. Even more, her magic
power was taken away and she’s unable to use even the most basic of spells.

Flare’s face distorted in fear, and Keyaru showed another wicked smile.

A tragedy was about to occur in this room.

Now then, since everything is taken care of, let’s get started on my revenge.

Transformation Heal is an ability that allows me to change the target’s body at will, so
of course it can also be used to change appearances. I was currently looking down on
Flare as I rode on top of her.

I deprived Flare of all her magic power with Looting Heal. A Magician’s status
distribution is all geared towards their magic power, so without it even Flare can’t do
anything.

“Wait, please wait, Keyaru-san. I think you’re mistaken about something.”

Under me, Flare has a cramped slime as she tries to talk to me.

“A mistake? What would it be?”

“I gave you the medicine to help you. I was trying to keep your mind from being broken
by the pain. I planned to take you out of the dungeon eventually.”

Well, at least it’s not a complete lie. In my first life, she did eventually let me out when
I basically became a doll with no personality and my senses of fear and pain stopped
working. All for her to use me like a tool.

“I see. So Flare verbally abused me, kicked me in the balls, stomped on my face and let
others fuck me night after night all out of the kindness of your heart. I didn’t know you
could display affection like that.”

Flare’s face contorted in fear. Ah, I get it now, she thought I didn’t have any memories
from when I was drugged.
“I remember everything. You really hurt me”

“A-ah, that’s… it’s different…”

“In the first place, if you didn’t want me to feel pain, why did you even force me to use
Heal?”

“That was… to save a lot of people…”

“You’re lying. You only have an interest in increasing this country’s power. You only
ever made me heal people from this kingdom.”

I knew that Flare’s goal was increasing her nation’s power. She never made me heal a
single person from somewhere else. All the people she made me heal were warriors
like the Sword Saint or people with high influence.

“I-it just so happened that those were all the people my intelligence network found.”

“That’s also a lie.”

This woman is not incompetent. She probably has a good idea of what’s going on in
the other countries.

“But, but.”

“Well, it doesn’t really matter. Because of you, I had to taste hell, so I want you to taste
it too. I don’t care if you’re actually a good person or had good intentions. You made
me suffer, so now I’ll get my revenge. It’s that simple.”

The reasons don’t matter, all that matters are the facts.

Flare was still trying to make excuses, but this is just getting depressing.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

To start off, I broke one of her fingers. That’s all it takes to make her scream like that.

Oh, come on now, it won’t be fun if this is all it takes.

Wait, I have an idea.

“Flare, let’s play a game.”

“A-a game?”

Flare was looking confused. Well, that much is understandable.

“I’m going to do to Flare everything you did to me. That’s to say I’m going to inflict pain
on you as much as you did to me, I’m going to rape you, I’m going to mentally destroy
you and make you into a useful tool. You did all these things to me, so put yourself in
my shoes for a while. Maybe then Flare will realize what you did?”

Flare’s face turns pale. She looks at me with pleading eyes, but then her face turns
even more pale. It seems she understood I’m serious when she looked into my eyes.

“M-money, I’ll give you money. I’ll give you power, a title and I’ll even make you a noble.
Women as well, as many beautiful noble daughters as you want. S-so please.”

“Ahaha, do you really expect me to believe such nonsense?”

This woman would never forgive her enemies. She’d probably do all that she said. But
then, when I lower my guard, she’d have me killed in my sleep.

“It’s true. Besides, even if you kill me here, you won’t be able to escape. It’s obvious
which is the smarter decision.”

In silence, I broke another one of her fingers.

“Kyahiiiiiiii!”

She let out an unsightly scream, nothing you’d expect to hear from a princess.

“Because Flare is being annoying, you lost one of your chips for our game.”

“What are you talking about…?”

“I’m going to break the fingers on Flare’s hands one by one. Then I’ll tear off your nails.
Once the hands are finished I’ll move on to the feet. If you manage to not scream by
the time I’m done breaking all your fingers and toes, it’ll be your win. If you win, that’s
the end of my revenge. But if you lose, I’ll do everything I said before, and I’ll even add
a bonus.”
This is something I’m doing so Flare’s heart doesn’t break. If she just gives up on
everything, she won’t show me any interesting reactions.

That’s why I gave her a way out. With hope, she’ll be able to face the pain.

“I-I understand. I’ll do it, so, if I win…”

“Yes, I’ll keep my word. I’m not like Flare.”

Flare clenches her back teeth with a face full of determination. With this, she’ll fight
the pain head on without losing heart. Yes, I’m sure of it.

Now, let the fun games begin.

“Nnn!”

Flare frantically tries to keep her scream from coming out by biting her lower lip. Her
mouth is stained with blood.

I’m surprised. She’s endured until there’s only this last toe left. Even with broken
fingers and torn off nails, she was still able to endure. As expected of a princess, a heart
of steel.

But I don’t quite like what’s on her mind. She’s been holding back her scream because
she’s so close to winning.

That’s why what I’m going to do is…

“Heal.”

“Eh?”

Since she only had one toe left, I’m kindly going to use Heal on her.

“Flare, I’ve healed you. Now then, shall we go from the hand again?”

I tell her with a kind voice. To heal even such a woman, how kind am I?
“Unfair, this is unfair. Because, this-”

“I said I would break all your fingers, didn’t I? From the start, Flare should have
understood that part of the game was enduring until my magic power ran out. Now
then, I wonder how many more times I can use Heal?”

Flare’s throat makes a weird sound. Even though I went through the trouble of giving
her hope by telling her she just has to wait until my magic power runs out.

Let’s see her condition. Ooh, as expected of Flare, she seems determined once again.

Well, unfortunately for her, unlike Corruption Heal, the normal Heal is very fuel-
efficient and only takes 5 MP per use. I can still use it about 10 more times. But Flare
probably misjudged my level and assumed I’d only be able to use it twice or so at most.

With such determination, how fun will it be to break it? Thinking that, I put my hand
on Flare’s finger again.

“Kyaaaaaaa, it hurts, it hurts! Fingers, my fingers, gaaaah!”

Finally, on the fifth time around, Flare finally lost her composure and let out a
miserable scream.

“Too bad. Only 8 more times and Flare would have won. What a shame.”

“Ha, ha, 8 more?”

Flare’s eyes were filled with despair, and more tears started spilling down her face.

“Unfortunately, you lost. Now then, let’s have you enjoy some pain a bit longer.”

I have enough of that kind of knowledge stored up in my head. I’ll be sure to enjoy
Flare’s suffering without letting her break until I go to the next course.

After that, for about 30 minutes, I continued hurting Flare’s body. Her dress was all
tattered and her exposed skin was all injured. Her tears had dried and her throat no
longer let out her voice.

Yeah, it was quite enjoyable. Now you felt a hundredth of the pain I had experienced.

Next, it’s time for the sexual revenge and psychological punishment.

I tear off Flare’s dress.

“A, aaa, aa.”

Flare can’t even speak now, so all she can do is let out these noises. Even if I tore off
her dress, I knew what this woman was really like on the inside. And with a body
covered in blood and wounds to boot, there’s no way I can get hard for her.

Well, that last part is easy to solve at least.

“Heal.”

First, I’m going to fix her body. But I’m going to leave her Achilles tendon alone, I had
cut it during her torture so she wouldn’t try to escape. It would be troublesome if she
were to keep running around. Once her wounds were healed, her beautiful and more
sexually attractive body appeared.

“Hi, hii, please forgive me, please, please stop. It hurts, I’m scared, please stop.”

Flare, now able to speak again, held her head in her hands and cried while begging me,
not even caring about being naked. It seems that her tears have also come back.

“Flare, I was the same. I said that using Heal was too painful for me so I didn’t want to
use it again, didn’t I? But what did Flare do?”

“I, I… it’s, it’s different…”

“No it’s not, that’s why I’m doing the same thing. But I’m getting tired of hurting you,
so now I’m going to fuck you.”

Flare’s eyes opened wide and she started shouting.

“Noooo, noo! I don’t want to be dirtied by someone like you. I’m a princess, someone
of noble blood, you’re just a villager, a nobody. Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Humans tend to show their true nature when they are driven into a corner. The
princess, who smiles at the people without discrimination, is actually an elitist that
thinks she’s some chosen person.

“When you hate it that much, even I don’t feel like it anymore. To begin with, it’s hard
to get hard for a pig like Flare.”

Flare, who seemed to misunderstand something, showed a look of relief. How stupid
of her.

I move towards the fireplace in the room. I pick up the fireplace poker and melt its tip
to form it into a stick. Once it’s hot enough, I take it out of the fire and hold it next to
the carpet, which catches on fire.

“Flare, my rod or this rod, which one do you want? I’m going to put one of the two
inside Flare, but I’ll let you choose which.”

If I can’t get a boner, I’ll use something else. Humans are tool-using animals after all.
But Flare still doesn’t seem to understand. Maybe she really is a pig.

“Eh? A, that’s…”

“By the way, if you don’t answer, they’re both going in. So answer within 10 seconds.
10, 9…”

I started the countdown and Flare’s relieved face was nowhere to be seen anymore.
Shaking, she looks into my eyes and lets out an inaudible scream. But I’m loud as I
keep the countdown going.

Flare gives me a pleading, almost flirty, gaze and I reply back with a smile. Her face
turns even paler. She must have understood by now that I’m a man of my word.

She seems to have made up her mind. She opens her mouth with a pale face and
shivering lips.

“Y-yours is better…”

“Hm? What’s better?”

“Your rod!”

“I see, so it’s better. But I won’t force you to pick the best option if you don’t want to. I
can give you the iron rod if that’s what you want.”

Flare shuttered and trembled with fear. Clenching her fists, she then shouted with a
blushing face:

“I want Keyaru-san’s. Please, give Flare Keyaru-san’s big, hard and manly thing!”

I burst out laughing. This is hilarious. I can’t believe this princess said this. That’s why,
let’s tease her a bit more.

“Oh, so you want it that bad. I didn’t know Flare was this much of a slut. The king and
the people must be crying.”

“Yes, I want it. Please, I beg you, have mercy on me, Keyaru-san.”

She even got down on her knees. Flare really is a slut.

“But unfortunately, I don’t get excited when looking at pigs. Oh, I know, do something,
anything, to get me excited. If you can’t do it in 10 minutes, it’s the iron rod that’s going
in.”

How kind of me to give her this chance. Staggering without being able to get on her
feet, Flare changes her position.

“How is this, Keyaru-sama?”

She gets on all fours with her ass held high. The so-called panther pose. It’s an inviting
pose, but what’s irritating is the look on her face.

So I grab her by the hair and make her look up at me.

“There’s no way I can get hard with just that. Or maybe you don’t actually want my
dick? Huh?”

I put the burning hot iron rod next to Flare’s face. Her eyes widen.

“I-I want it, I’ll do it properly this time. So let me try again.”
Now she gets on her back and shows me her pussy. I can see her pretty pink virgin
color.

“Give Keyaru-sama’s amazing thing to Flare here.”

“Good try. Now, get on your knees and shake your hips like you’re dancing.”

“Y-yes.”

After I told her, Flare started dancing while also trying to show me her pussy. I’m
laughing more than I am excited. As I pointed and laughed at Flare, her
embarrassment grew. Her dancing while crying satisfies my tastes.

“Now, try pleasuring yourself. It’s going to hurt more if you’re not wet.”

“Y-yes, please watch as this naughty Flare touches herself.”

Flare frantically used her fingers to play with her genitals. She seems to actually be
getting wet, since I can hear a wet sound. I’m surprised, you really have to be a pervert
to get horny in this situation.

I’m finally hard.

I kick the pig Flare, and then I make her get on all fours like an animal. This is the best
position to fuck a pig like her.

“Alright, you did good. Here’s your reward. I’m going to fuck you now, since you want
it so much.”

“T-thank you very muc- iiiiiiiiii!”

When I put my cock in, she screamed like a pig. She was bleeding. Thanks to me, Flare
has matured into a woman.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, my place hurts! Please be gentle, I’m dying, it hurts.”

“Huh? The more you hurt the better I feel. There’s no way I’m stopping.”

I slam my hips as hard as I can from behind her. I’m gouging out Flare’s wounds, and I
also grab her hair to pull it. Every thrust makes her scream, which is quite enjoyable.
But it’s a little monotonous. I saw a big white meaty ass in front of me. Without
thinking, I slapped it as hard as I could, and then I heard a nice sound.

“Ahiiiiiii!”

Flare let out a new type of squeal. The tone of her voice is quite nice.

“It hurts. Why does my butt feel hot?”

“It’s fine. Just keep moaning you pig. Or do you want more punishment?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Please don’t do anything worse.”

If you’re going to say that, don’t disobey me in the first place. But still, spanking her
ass is fun. Every time I slap her, she tightens up and lets out a nice voice. I slap her ass
from time to time as I repeatedly shake my hips.

When Flare starts to go blank and almost passes out, I grab her by the throat and force
her to come back to her senses.

As I do this, I feel myself close to cumming. The faster I go, the louder Flare screams.

“An, st, stop, please. It hurts, don’t let it out inside, please.”

“I see, so inside is no good, huh. In that case, I’ll make sure to let it all out inside Flare.”

I pushed myself deeper and let out my semen. When I pulled out, a thick white liquid
came out of Flare’s pussy.

“You’re a good toy, Flare.”

I made Flare look at me. Once she did, I put my cock dirty with her blood, love juice
and my semen into her mouth. I put it as deep as her throat for her to clean it, and
when I pulled out, it was perfectly clean.

Then Flare vomited. How rude.

“N-no, a commoner’s child… I don’t want it, it’s dirty. No.”

Flare was half-crazy as she tried to scrape out the white semen. This pig seems to have
no ability to learn. If you react like that, you can’t expect me to hold myself back.
While looking at Flare, who is engrossed in shoveling out my seed, I head to the
fireplace. I need to reheat the now cold iron rod.

Alright, this seems good.

“Flare, it won’t work if you try to take it out like that.”

“Eh?”

“There’s a way to absolutely make sure you won’t get pregnant. I’m a nice guy, so I’ll
do it for you.”

Flare’s eyes lit up for a moment when she thought she wouldn’t have to worry about
getting pregnant with a commoner’s child.

“Please do it!”

“Then, spread your legs open.”

She opened her legs and even her pussy to show me. I’ll be kind and properly dispose
of the sperm.

“I’ll do it now. Sperm is sensitive to heat. If I burn it, you’ll never have to worry about
getting pregnant.”

“Eh?”

Flare lets out a dumb noise. She seems to have finally noticed the burning iron rod in
my hand.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

I was going to put the iron rod in her. That’s basically what I said.

The fear alone made Flare pass out while pissing herself.

“Pfft, hahahaha!”

It was so ridiculous I could only point and laugh at the pig.

I overdid it a little. I laughed so hard I felt I was going to die.

Flare is letting out a low voice with depressed eyes. It’s as if she’s just had a mental
breakdown.

Now, I guess I can say that all the pain, sexual and psychological abuse has been repaid
in full. All that remains is to break her ego and make her into a useful tool.

Flare is about 90% broken. Any normal woman would have been broken long ago.
She’s as persistent as a cockroach. That’s why it was so fun, but now I’m getting tired
of it.

It’s time to end this.

“Heal.”

I heal all of Flare’s wounds, even the ones I hadn’t healed before. Then, to finish her
off, I’ll give her a Transformation Heal.

“Ah, aah…”

I grabbed Flare, who was babbling like a baby, by her hair and put her in front of a
mirror.

As she saw her face in the mirror, tears began to spill from her eyes, which were trying
to focus as hard as they could.

“Ah, aaah, aah, m-my face, my face…”

“How is it? I tried to make you look even prettier.”

“No, this, this isn’t my face!”

Flare’s face was not the usual. While keeping the original mostly intact, I tweaked her
appearance to my liking.

“I made your face more to my liking. Your face has changed and your memory will soon
be gone, making you disappear from the world. You’ll be reborn as my useful tool, one
that I’ll use to have sex whenever I feel like and as a meat shield on the battlefield. And
don’t worry about the castle, I’ll prepare a corpse to look just like Flare. They’ll
eventually find it and everyone will think you died here.”

If the princess is simply kidnapped, the kingdom will look for her to the ends of the
earth. But if a fake body is found in the castle and the real one changes her face and
loses her memory, they’ll never suspect I have her. I’ll be able to walk around with her
in peace.

“I’m happy for you. The next time you wake up, you’ll be my faithful and loyal servant.
It’s great that even a piece of shit like you can get a second chance and be reborn.”

“No, no, noo! Don’t do it! Nooo!”

Flare flailed about, but the difference in status between us is so great there’s no point
in it.

“Because I’m kind, I’ll even let you say goodbye to your old self. I suppose you should
be praying in your last minute as Flare.”

Flare cried, flailed and finally broke completely. Aah, that’s good. I was able to properly
break her before the end.

“Goodbye, Flare. Heal.”

All of Flare’s memories are gone. Only the memories, her knowledge is still there. I can
do delicate operations like that. Once she wakes up, I’ll fill her with all kinds of
interesting things.

Now that I’ve accomplished my goal, it’s time to get out of the castle with Flare.

I was able to destroy the woman who ruined my life and make her into a useful slave.
The air is good, my body is light.

This is wonderful! Is this what it feels to get revenge? Right now, at this moment, I’m
the happiest man alive!
After I completed my revenge, I began making a plan to escape the castle.

This is the princess’ room, but someone’s bound to come in sooner or later. Since I’m
taking a big baggage, the hurdle of the escape is increased.

It’s easy enough to escape alone, but it’s harder to escape with someone else.

“Well, for now, I’ll get some money before I leave.”

I take the maids’ wallets, and I also go through the room to get a lot of jewelry that I
can easily convert into cash. I also took the royal guard captain’s wallet as a gift.

As expected of people close to the princess, they’re carrying a lot of money without a
care in the world. I won’t be having trouble with money for a while.

It’s easy enough to make money using my healing powers, but the more money I make
the more attention I’ll draw to myself. At the very least, I want to avoid making a fuss
until I leave the capital.

I put on the royal guard captain’s armor. If I have his appearance, it’ll be easy to escape
from the front gates.

Aah, the royal guard captain really went and did it. His subordinates will testify that
he went to the princess’ room, so he’ll be forced to take all the blame for this mess. I
won’t be caught, since I’ll change my appearance as soon as I escape. The royal family
will probably kill all his relatives.

“Now then, I should do something about this woman.”

Even as the royal guard captain, it would be too suspicious to be seen carrying a naked
woman.

So I’ll put on some of the armor’s inner wear on Flare, who was still completely naked
and unconscious. Flare’s clothes are not in this room, there’s probably a separate room
for it. The maids’ clothes are dirtied with blood and are unusable.

Since I used Transformation Heal to change her face, no one will recognize her as
Flare. If someone asks, I’ll just say some noble’s daughter got a little too drunk and I’m
taking her home.

I’m ready to escape. I use Transformation Heal to change back into the royal guard
captain’s appearance.

I also take a lot of flammable items and place them in good spots. I pour plenty of oil
and light it on fire. A small flame is born and smoke starts rising.

I’ll adjust it so that it really becomes a fire about an hour from now. By the time the
fire is noticed, we’ll already have escaped the castle. This is both a distraction and a
way to destroy evidence. Magic used in investigations is not as foolproof as it seems.
They would be able to find our traces in this room and use it to follow us if I don’t do
that.

I committed the serious crime of killing the princess and setting fire to this room. How
much punishment would I receive if I’m caught? Well, it doesn’t really matter. The
punishment is all for the royal guard captain.

I feel like I forgot something, but I should hurry. I don’t have time to waste. I leave the
room while carrying Flare in a princess carry. I was a little nervous as I left the room,
since it’d be very hard to explain myself here.

As expected, I was stopped and questioned on my way out, but I was able to talk my
way out of it with the excuse I prepared in advance. It doesn’t matter if they were
suspicious that I was having fun with a woman I’d brought with me.

On my way out, I saw one of the maids who had assaulted me in order to raise her
level, so I took revenge on her by killing her while transforming myself into Flare. Now
I have a body to fake as Flare’s.

After leaving the castle and entering the city, I entered the river that flows inside the
city and got rid of my armor, leaving only the sword. But the sword is a little too big
and heavy for me to use properly.

Since I’ll keep it, I’ll use alchemy to change it into a form more suited to me. While
doing that, I look toward the castle. The fire was burning brightly. I really did a good
job.

It’s dangerous to leave the city at night, so let’s stay in an inn for now. I wonder what
kind of face I should give myself with Transformation Heal? Probably a gentle young
man’s look, reflecting my inner self.

Hmm, yeah, this is good. Just like I wanted.

I look at the surface of the water and see a young man with a good looking face.

After that, I stayed in an average-quality inn with Flare. I knew the money I got would
come in handy. I’ll put the money to good use.

I spent the night at the inn. In the meantime, I was thinking about what to do in the
future.

I have three main objectives I want to achieve from now on:

The first is to continue my revenge. I have to repay the Sword Hero and the Gun Hero
for their kindness. The Sword Hero is a beautiful woman who dresses as a man
because she’s actually a lesbian, every time Flare would talk to me, she’d get jealous
and beat me up. The Gun Hero is a homosexual pedophile who abused me at any given
chance. I can’t forgive either of them, I’ll give them their comeuppance.

The second is that I want to meet the Demon Lord. I have nothing against her, but I’m
curious about her last words. I want to know what it is that she was trying to protect.
It could also be fun to end the war between humans and demons.

The third is to become as strong as I possibly can. To tell the truth, right now, I’m still
too weak. I want the strength that can fight any problems that I might face.

During the night, I suddenly realized what it was that I had forgotten. I didn’t kill the
royal guard captain that I’d transformed into me. I made him unable to hold a pen and
I smashed his throat so hard it can never be healed by ordinary means, but his identity
will be immediately discovered if they use an Appraisal on him.

Once that happens, they’ll realize I have the power to change my appearance and that
I was the royal guard captain that left with a woman in my arms that night. They could
also make the connection that that woman was Flare.

They probably won’t use an Appraisal right away, but they’ll surely do it after he
doesn’t heal anyone for a while. There’s also the possibility they’ll give him an elixir
and he’ll insist he’s not me.

“It’s too risky to sneak into the castle now.”

Now that the princess has been killed and her room was set on fire, the security
system is unprecedentedly tight. I shouldn’t be taking unnecessary risks. The safest
thing to do now is to flee to another country.

But I’ll have to dedicate the whole day for Flare to be reborn as I want her, so we’ll
depart tomorrow.

Once we go, we should head east. I hear there’s a very liberal city that way, where
people come and go at will and public management is loose.

Next to me, a woman starts moving. It’s Flare. I slept in the same bed as her last night.

She has finally woken up. I wonder if the memory erasure went well.

Flare gets up and starts looking at her surroundings restlessly.

“Huh? Where am I? What was I doing?”

Then, a puzzled look showed up on her face. After trying to think for a bit, she starts
holding her head.

“I can’t remember anything. Who even am I?”

She pondered anxiously and frantically. But it’s useless. She won’t be able to remember
anything, her memories have been completely erased.
No, it’s slightly different. It’s more correct to say she lost the key to her memories.
Even with magic, it’s still impossible to erase memories, so I just made it impossible
for her to remember.

Eventually, after we reach a point where there’s no going back, I’ll allow her to
remember. For example, it would probably be interesting to see her reaction to
regaining her memories after she completely falls in love with me and I made her
destroy her own country, which she believed was evil.

Well, putting my fantasies aside for now, I should get started.

“You woke up. I’m so relieved.”

I tightly hug Flare, as if I’m her lover.

“W-who are you?”

“You can’t remember me?!”

I make sure to react in a way that shows I’m very surprised.

“No, I can’t remember. I don’t even know about myself.”

I release Flare from my embrace and firmly hold onto her shoulders.

“No way?! You don’t even remember your own name?! Your name is Freia. You are my
servant. Even though we loved each other so much, you say you’ve forgotten
everything…”

I stare right into her eyes while using hypnotism magic. I’m also using alchemy to
vaporize the rest of the drug inside my body. A duet of hypnosis and drugs. It works
very well on people with no memories and with their head in a blank state.

I can do this thanks to all the knowledge I have.

Freia is Flare’s new name. It’s best to change the name as well as the appearance. The
reason I kept it close to her original name was to reduce the unconscious discomfort
she would feel.

“We were… lovers.”

“That’s right. You were deeply in love with me. You fell unconscious around 3 days ago
with a high fever. To think you’d lose your memory when you finally woke up. Poor
Freia.”

It’s a rough setting and acting, but it should be enough for the current Flare. The proof
is in her eyes, her drowsy eyes are telling me she’s slowly believing everything I’m
telling her.

I set things up in an interesting way. Freia, aka Flare, is a woman who takes great
pleasure in serving me. She would gladly give her life for mine and is an obedient sow
who is willing to follow even the most horrible commands.

“I am Freia. Your servant, your sow.”

Flare repeats to herself with eyes devoid of reason. No, wait, it’s Freia now.

“You might remember if we join our bodies like we usually do. Freia, beg me as you
usually do.”

Just like that, I created a past that never existed. I created a sex life we’ve yet to have.
During it, I was able to finish putting Freia in a hypnotized state thanks to all the
pleasure she was feeling. After we finish, we lay down together on the bed.

Freia interlocks our hands. Heh, there’s no doubt in her mind that I’m her master.

While lying down, Freia looks at me with a passionate look and opens her mouth.

“Fufu, my memories haven’t returned, but I can tell you’re someone very important to
me. I forgot to ask you something important. What’s your name?”

Now that’s troubling. I haven’t thought of a new name yet.

I’ve changed my appearance, so I might as well change my name. I want a strong-

sounding name.

“My name is Keyaruga. Don’t forget it.”

I am reborn as Keyaruga, much stronger than the weak Keyaru.

I spent an entire day making Flare into Freia, my lovely servant. The next day, we were
getting ready to leave the capital.

The former princess is currently my baggage carrier, and with a smile on her face. It’s
quite a sight to see.

Once we reach the next town, I want to buy a slave. I want at least one person on the
vanguard. I can only change my own talent values, and the mage Flare isn’t good as a
meat shield, so I definitely need a vanguard.

A demi-human slave is good. If I use a certain method, I can be sure they’ll never betray
me. Humans can’t be trusted, you never know when they’ll betray you. I’m a good
person who has decided to only use brainwashing on my targets for revenge, so I have
no choice but to get a demi-human slave.

And if I’m going to buy one anyway, I want a woman. It’ll be more convenient for me
to raise her level cap. It’s also possible to do it with a man, but I won’t feel good.

While I was thinking about this, I saw a bulletin board.

“Ahahahahahahahahaha!”

I burst out laughing. As expected, it was a wanted poster for the royal guard captain.
There’s a high bounty on him, since he committed a major crime.

Looking around, I see that his wanted poster is plastered all over the capital. They’re
looking for the wrong guy, like this, I can easily escape.

Now, while this country is showing its stupidity, let’s go to the next town and make
new friends.

The sun was setting as we were shopping for the things we’ll need on our trip. We will
stay in the inn just one more night and depart tomorrow.
I was dreaming. This is a dream I’ve already seen many times, so I was able to quickly
recognize it as a dream. It’s about the start of everything.

It’s a dream about my life in the first world. A dream of the days when I was deprived
of even my own free will and was simply used by others.

This is the dream of the time when I woke up.

Four people, men and women, were surrounded by demons inside a dense forest.

The first group of demons came from the sky. Dozens of gargoyles. They were
humanoid demons with stone bodies and wings, and they came swooping down on
them.

“Shit, this is demon territory. There’s too many of them.”

A man with a large and muscular body complained, his skin was dark for staying too
long under the sun. He constantly complained as he fired his Holy Canon Taslam.

His movements while shooting were agile, and every time he fired, Taslam let out a
magic bullet, which destroyed the gargoyles. Because of that, even the gargoyles,
known as fearless demons, tried to evade the bullets. But the magic bullets followed
and caught up to them.

He was constantly shooting out bullets with ultra-high power comparable to that of
magic of Rank 5, the maximum humanity can achieve, to form a barrage of bullets that
tracked the enemy.
The gargoyles, which were supposed to be vicious demons that have unreasonably
strong defenses and high-speed flight abilities, are being unilaterally hunted.

There’s only one man in the world who can do such a thing. It’s Bullet, the Gun Hero.

“Bullet, don’t waste your time. You also don’t need to worry yourself, princess Flare. I,
the Sword Hero Blade, will not allow anyone to hurt you.”

The enemies were also attacking from the ground. The demons were aiming for a
pincer attack from the air and ground at the same time.

The Gun Hero has his hands full dealing with the sky attack, so someone else needs to
defend from the ground.

A beautiful young man with a sword. But it was actually a beautiful woman dressed as
a man. She uses a special technique and goes to intercept the demons, she’s so fast as
she defeats them that it looks like they simply vanished.

The demons that appeared were known as Dark Tigers. They have black fur as hard
as steel and sharp claws and fangs.

The Dark Tigers are highly intelligent demons. They chose to lure her in, avoiding a
direct confrontation, judging it would be difficult to deal with the high-speed
swordswoman.

They made the plan of stopping the sword with their fur and attacking in a group right
after. To achieve that, a group of Dark Tigers got into a position where they could be
easily cut down while putting mana into their fur to increase their defense. The other
Dark Tigers surrounded their decoys in a semicircle.

The crossdresser swordswoman cut through one of the Dark Tigers. At the same time,
the Dark Tigers that had been deployed in a semicircle attacked.

The Dark Tigers were confident of victory, but…

“I hope you won’t dirty my sword too much.”

The crossdressed beauty had read the Dark Tigers’ intentions and dared to jump into
their trap.
The first Dark Tiger was sliced in half with a single swing. Then, the swordswoman
turned the hilt of her sword and slashed from the position she was in. Right after, the
attacking Dark Tigers were sliced into two parts, ending the assault.

The crossdressing beauty then sprints towards the remaining Dark Tigers.

The fur on the Dark Tiger’s body, imbued with magic power, is comparable to the
legendary metal mithril. This beautiful swordswoman was capable of cutting through
them and also had enough speed to overwhelm them.

She is none other than the Sword Hero Blade.

“Bullet, Blade, come behind me. It’s not safe there.”

A dignified voice echoes.

A beautiful girl with light pink hair quietly closes her eyes and calls out to her
companions as she unfolds a magic formula in her mind.

“Understood, princess.”

“Yes, princess Flare.”

And it came just as the two of them got behind Flare.

Countless ice bullets, fireballs, and thunderbolts rained down from the sky.

This was the princess’ favorite spell to kill demons. She can attack demons in the sky
or on the ground and kill them all. She can also use it to defend herself. And, on the off
chance she shouldn’t kill them, she can imprison them in an area where they’ll be
constantly receiving damage.

And after that was done, she could clean up whatever was left with a long-range attack.

It was a perfect strategy. If this magic had a single weak point, it would be…

“Rank 6 magic, Exorcism Sanctuary.”

A powerful magician on the enemy team.

A magic circle is drawn five meters above the girl with light pink hair and a barrier is
formed. The moment any attack touches the barrier, all magic will be broken and
become meaningless.

It’s impossible to nullify magic unless there is a difference in power like between an
adult and a child. It’s not that demons are weak. The demons were powerful enough
to be called advanced magicians in human terms.

However, the girl with the light pink hair is a mage of the divine realm who has reached
the Rank 7. She was two ranks above 5, the maximum level a human can normally
achieve.

Her magic did not end there.

“Continue with the Rank 6 magic, Lightning Frenzy.”

In parallel with the unreasonable defensive barrier, another magic was activated.

A super-high skill allowed only to the very best mages. So long as they are not Rank 7,
she can use all kinds of magic at the same time.

Rain clouds were created and countless thunderbolts rained down. The super wide-
area annihilation magic, Lightning Frenzy.

The demons try to escape, but the lightning is, literally, lightning fast. They are unable
to evade and are killed by the lightning. When the lightning stopped, there was not a
single demon left standing.

There is only one mage in the world who can do such a trick. The only one in the world
who can do that is Flare, the Magic Hero.

The Sword Hero Blade.

The Gun Hero Bullet.

The Magic Hero Flare.

The three most powerful people amongst humans had entered the territory controlled
by the demons in order to defeat the Demon Lord.
“As expected of princess Flare. Your magic is truly wonderful”

“Blade, I see you have also improved your skills.”

“Oi oi, can I join in as well?”

The three of them were laughing happily, perhaps from relief that the battle was over,
and thinking back on the fight just now.

Then, Flare turns around.

There was not the slightest warmth in her eyes that she would have directed toward
a friend.

“Why don’t you fight a little?”

“Ah, ah.”

In her eyes was reflected a boy.

He was a small boy with eyes like those of a dead man. He is a handsome, cute boy who
could pass for a girl, but his expression and tired atmosphere ruin everything.

He cannot even speak properly, and is even more broken on the inside than he is on
the outside.

“There’s no use talking to Keyaru. He’s broken, after all.”

Blade twirled her index finger and opened a bottle.

*Gururururu*

She spilled a liquid on the ground to make fun of the boy.

“See? Hey, you, you better follow us quickly! Please, princess, let that thing carry your
baggage.”

“A, ah.”

The boy called Keyaru nodded after licking the liquid from the ground and followed
them. Anything that once resembled a personality was already destroyed.

He was once a boy with a great sense of justice. After awakening as the Healing Hero,
he left his village to become a great Hero. He was sent off with warm and big smiles
by his people. For him, whose parents were killed by monsters, that vow has been a
dream since he was a child.

There is a reason why he was destroyed. It was that the power of the Healing Hero,
Heal, had the side effect of causing him to suffer pain and fear to the point of losing his
mind.

Unable to endure its power, he gave up on being the Healing Hero.

But Heal is a useful power. To take advantage of this power, the Jioral Kingdom broke
him so that he could not feel pain and fear due to the drug, and then made him a
prisoner of the drug’s pleasures.

What we have here now is just a wreckage that used to be Keyaru. He is a puppet who
will do anything if he hears he can get drugs, with no will of his own.

“I’d like to hire more baggage carriers. I don’t feel safe with just him.”

“All the ones we brought are dead, except that one. You have to be strong to survive
here.”

“I agree that you have to be strong, but I think Keyaru is doing a good job. His healing
is also very useful.”

The only one who said anything good about Keyaru was the Gun Hero Bullet. After
hearing that, the Magic Hero Flare and Sword Hero Blade laughed.

“You’re the one who should be more considerate. You’re the one who treats Keyaru the
worst.”

“That’s true. If I was Keyaru, I would have killed myself long ago.”

“Oi oi, don’t be mean. I love Keyaru. Come here, Keyaru.”

Bullet hugged Keyaru with his big strong arms. Keyaru, who should feel no fear or
pain, begins to tremble. Seeing this, Flare and Blade laughed even harder.
Because of their laughter, Bullet got so mad a vein popped up on his forehead, and
then he punched Keyaru. Bullet truly had power worthy of a Hero. Keyaru flew like a
ping pong ball and slammed into a nearby tree.

“Damn you. I’m always loving you!”

Keyaru looks at Bullet with emotionless eyes.

“You shit, how long are you going to stand around? Get your ass up and come here.”

Keyaru gets up and tries to catch up at a quick pace. But, because of the heavy blow
just now, he fell down again. Because he didn’t follow their instructions, he was hit
again.

This isn’t an usual scene. It happened after every battle.

None of the three believed they were doing something bad. For this group, this is an
entirely normal treatment for Keyaru.

After advancing through the forest to some extent, the group began to prepare to camp
for the night.

Gun Hero Bullet is also a first-rate hunter and gathers the animals of the forest and
fishes in the river to secure food.

Meanwhile, Sword Hero Blade would set up the tents and gather firewood. As for the
Magic Hero Flare, her job was to feed the “dog”.

This is the usual division of roles.

Flare enters the tent with Keyaru.

“Ahh, au, ah.”

Keyaru’s body was having spasms.

He was going through withdrawal symptoms because the drug’s effects have worn off.
To keep his addiction and keep him from feeling pain and fear, Keyaru needs more
drugs at regular intervals.

“Look, Keyaru, here’s your drug. You want it, don’t you?”

“Aah, aah.”

Keyaru nodded vigorously. Seeing this, Flare gave him a wicked look.

“Well, let’s do the usual, shall we? Here, cock.”

“Oh, ah.”

Keyaru did the trick as he had been trained to do by Flare. He took off his pants and
pulled out his cock.

“Hahahaha, don’t you have any pride?”

“Aaaaahhhh.”

Flare laughs at Keyaru’s sorry state. For Flare, Keyaru was a stress-relieving toy.

“Yes, well done.”

Flare places the vial with the drug on the floor. When he saw the vial, Keyaru’s eyes
changed color and he leapt for the medicine.

“Wait.”

He stops moving at a word from Flare. Even though he has little reason left in his body,
he knows that if he ignores the warning, he will be severely punished and forced to go
without his drugs for a while.

“Aaa, aaa.”

Keyaru’s withdrawal symptoms are getting worse and worse. And yet, he can’t do
anything about it. The frustration was driving him crazy.

“Aaa, aau.”
Finally, he burst into tears. He crawled, sniffed, and brought his face as close to the
limit as he could. But he couldn’t touch the vial.

“Au, auu, aa.”

Keyaru began to cry. He even began to stretch out his tongue in a desperate,
incomprehensible manner. Flare found that so funny that she was laughing
hysterically.

“Yes, you waited well. I’ll give you some drugs. As usual.”

Flare pulls up her skirt and removes her underwear. Then, she smears the drug on her
pussy.

“Come.”

Then, Keyaru jumps on Flare’s pubic area and licks it as hard as she can.

*Lick, lick, lick*

Even when the drug was gone, he kept licking, wanting more.

“An, it feels good. Keyaru, there, more.”

Flare continued to let Keyaru lick her vagina, occasionally dabbing on more drugs on
her privates to make him lick more.

For her, this was nothing more than masturbation.

“An, there is good, there. Aan!”

She grabbed the back of Keyaru’s head and held his head down with all her strength.
Keyaru just kept licking mindlessly.

Flare arched her back and shook her body. Keyaru’s face was soaked with Flare’s love
juice.

“Fuu, what a good use for this dog. Your face is cute and this game is fun. Oh, did you
get an erection?”
Keyaru had removed his pants at the start, when Flare told him to. So she could see
his large bare member, which seemed to be in a lot of pain.

“Aa, auu.”

“You’re a dog, but you have the courage to get excited by a human being. Did you really
think that I would let you do it? You are a filthy commoner, and you want to fuck me, a
noble? You must be punished for this.”

Flare kicks Keyaru making him lie on the ground. Then, she stepped on Keyaru’s penis.

“Aauu, aaaaaa!”

Keyaru screamed, but Flare still stepped on it two or three times.

“You’re a real pervert by getting bigger while being stepped on. Say you’re sorry. I’m
telling you to regret it! Or are you liking it?”

Flare became engrossed in this new play. She stepped on him repeatedly, to the point
where she was getting wet again because of her own excitement.

Finally, Keyaru’s erection subsided.

“Haa, haa, haa, that was refreshing. Why do I, the princess, have to go on such an
inconvenient trip? Why do I have to stress myself like this? This party is weird except
for me. There are only crazy people in this party. I feel like I’m going crazy too. Oh,
there’s some drugs leftover today. I have an idea.”

Flare spilled the drug over the member she was just stepping on.

“Aa, au.”

Keyaru frantically tried to bend his own body to lick his own cock. He was able to bend
himself and reach without difficulties.

“Aha, ahahaahaha! That’s amazing. Keyaru can lick his own cock. A pervert, a true
pervert! Look, it’s touching your face. Is it tasty? Ahahaahaha!”

That was Flare’s loudest laugh of the night. Keyaru kept licking himself until the taste
of the drug was gone.
Keyaru was tired for a while. Flare was long gone. Then a figure appeared.

It was Blade, the Sword Hero. A beautiful woman dressed as a man. She was a lesbian
and always dressed as a man to make it easier for her to seduce women.

And she was in love with princess Flare.

In her hand was a stick made of wood. She hit that stick on the floor, making a loud
noise.

“You damn dog. I saw you. I saw it. You filthy man! You think you’re allowed to touch
and lick and give pleasure to princess Flare!”

“…”

Keyaru looked at Blade with emotionless eyes.

He was forced to do it under duress, and if he didn’t lick her, he wouldn’t have gotten
his drugs.

That woman didn’t care about that logic. She is jealous. That’s all there is to it.

“I’ll teach you so you never again lay hands on princess Flare!”

She hits Keyaru again and again with the wooden stick.

Blade knows that if he breaks him, Flare will be angry with her. So, she is careful to not
kill him.

But she shows no other mercy. She continues to hit and insult him.

Keyaru’s skin turns into a different color. It’s no longer the color of his original skin.

His whole body became flaccid, and he could not move at all.

“Even a dumb mutt like you should have understood by now. Never touch princess
Flare again!”
Saying that, Blade tried to leave. But she stopped on the way.

“The tongue that licked princess Flare… he’s a man… but I can feel the princess…”

Blade comes back.

Shee then forces Keyaru’s mouth open and plunges her tongue in. She becomes
aroused and teases her genitals with her own hand. The sound of water was heard.

“Hmm, hmmmm, the taste of princess Flare, it’s delicious.”

And finally she reached climax. She finally released Keyaru and struck him in the face
with a wooden stick.

“You! It’s your fault! Because you licked the princess, I had to kiss a man *bleh*. I’ll kill
you, I’ll definitely kill you!”

Again and again Blade struck him with a wooden stick. She no longer cared if he lived
or died. She beat him until she was satisfied, and then, this time, she left.

Keyaru said nothing, just watched Blade’s back with emotionless eyes.

Keyaru’s stomach growls. He hasn’t eaten anything. He was unable to move because of
the multiple beatings.

Keyaru waits for his body to heal.

Keyaru is a high-level Healer. As long as they are in the same party, experience is
shared. Wounds heal at an unbelievable rate thanks to the enhanced healing power of
a high-level Healer.

Knowing this, both Flare and Blade can hit Keyaru mercilessly.

He could use Heal on himself, but, even with his high level, he didn’t dare go against
their orders.

Then a visitor appeared.

“Hey, Keyaru. Poor soul. They’ve done it again.”

A big dark-skinned man. He was Bullet, the Gun Hero.

“I brought you some food. I gave it to Blade, but by the sound of your belly, I’m guessing
she didn’t give it to you. I’m sure she threw it away as a punishment. That’s a terrible
thing to do.”

In a gentle tone of voice, Bullet smiled at Keyaru and sat down next to him.

“You know I’m the only one on your side. The only one who loves you.”

Bullet’s hand caressed Keyaru’s ass. Bullet’s hand then moves to Keyaru’s genitals and
he starts squeezing it.

“I’m going to feed you now.”

Bullet brings a skewered fish, bread and nuts. Bullet chewed the skewered fish, then
he kisses Keyaru and pours the fish into his mouth. He pinches his nose and forces him
to swallow so that he doesn’t choke to death.

“You see how nice I am to you? I’m feeding you because you can’t eat due to your
injuries. I’m so kind to you.”

Bullet looks into Keyaru’s face with a face of greed.

He is a dependable big brother, a brave man who has fought many battles. Underneath
that face lurks a man with an abnormal sexual appetite who can only love young boys.

“Aa, aa.”

Keyaru crawls away with his aching body, feeling an instinctive fear. Even though the
drugs had made him forget his fear, this was something more than even that.

“Why, why are you running away? I’m the only one on your side, I’m the only one who’s
been kind to you, I’m the only one who’s done so much for you. Why, why are you
running away? Why don’t you understand me?!”

Bullet mounted Keyaru. He then punches him in the face repeatedly.

Bullet had another serious flaw. He had a terrible temper tantrum.

His mentality was: if he loved someone, then he should be loved back. When he doesn’t
get his way, he immediately snaps and becomes violent. Together with his sick love for
young boys, he has killed many young boys during his life.

Finally, the face of Keyaru, which had been on the verge of finishing recovering itself,
was now miserable once again.

“Au, au.”

“Haa, haa, haa… Keyaru. Oh no, your face is horrible again. I’m sorry, forgive me. I didn’t
mean to do it.”

Bullet hugs Keyaru with a tight embrace.

“I really love you. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hit you. This way, you’ll never love me. But
I didn’t have a choice because you’re a bad boy. Forgive me, and I’ll be a lot kinder to
you for hitting you.”

After saying this, Bullet kissed Keyaru. Then he got Keyaru on all fours and took off his
pants.

“I’m going to love you a lot as compensation for being mean. I’m going to show you
how much I love you, Keyaru.”

Then he struck Keyaru’s backside vigorously.

I love you, I’m sorry, I love you, I’m sorry. Bullet shook his hips, repeating it like a curse.

This is what this man is really like. A pedophile with a terribly young and unstable
mind.

After devouring Keyaru’s body for a long time, he finally releases him. By then, the
swelling in Keyaru’s face had gone down. Bullet kisses him.

“Look how pretty you are. I’ve never seen such a pretty boy before.”

With an enraptured face, Bullet stares at Keyaru’s face.

“But this pretty face will grow up and become ugly. How cruel. This beautiful face
turning ugly. I can’t stand it.”

“Au, aa, au.”

Bullet held his head in anguish.

“I can’t stand it. So I’m going to stop time here. If you die now, you’ll always have that
pretty face. I’ll take good care of it. So, Keyaru, please die.”

Bullet tightens his hand around Keyaru’s neck. A strange sound came from his neck.

After a few dozen seconds, Bullet lets go of his hand. Keyaru is choking from lack of
oxygen.

“Ahhhh, I’ve done it again. I’m so horrible. How could I let this happen? Forgive me,
Keyaru.”

Bullet hugged Keyaru and sobbed. Then he whispered in his ear.

“I’ll love you again tomorrow to make up for what I did today.”

Leaving those words behind, Bullet leaves.

That wasn’t an apology or a blessing. For Keyaru, it was a curse.

Finally alone, Keyaru stopped moving, like a doll with no strings.

There wasn’t a single kind person in this party. Magic Hero Flare, Sword Hero Blade,
Gun Hero Bullet. All of them are enemies.

Keyaru couldn’t even put up any resistance. But a small part of him was screaming.

I won’t allow this.

I won’t forgive them.

I’ll kill them.

There was something deep inside him that still wasn’t broken. Now, after days of
particularly harsh abuse, that part was screaming.

Resist the drug eating away at your body. That will increase the proficiency needed for
the Drug Resistance skill.

The last part of him has tried to resist many times like this. It was not in vain. Little by
little, he continued to gain proficiency for the Drug Resistance skill.

His efforts would bear fruit this moment.

“Who am I? Where am I?”

The Drug Resistance brought him back to his senses. Keyaru has regained himself. By
regaining himself, all his memories come back to him.

The experiences and memories of all the people he was made to use Heal on. The
experiences he gained as a member of the Hero Party. And the abuse he suffered due
to these horrible people.

After he was done remembering, Keyaru noticed something was different with him. It
had to be, otherwise, he’d just have broken again. An ordinary person, or even a
superhuman, would not have been able to endure it. However, Keyaru had the capacity
to endure the pain of being broken.

A series of nightmarish experiences flashed back to him.

Keyaru held his head and wept. But he did not scream. He bit his pants, which he still
hadn’t put back on, to stop himself from screaming.

If he let out a sound, they would notice. If he doesn’t do this, he’s going to bite off his
own tongue and die.

After he finally recovered from the overwhelming amount of horrible experiences and
memories, Keyaru opened his mouth and let his pants fall.

“How dare she? She betrayed me. How dare she? After I trusted her.”

The pain of using Heal was unimaginable. Keyaru ran away once, scared of his own
power, but then he was caught and brought to Flare. He promised her he’d try his best
to learn how to use his power, to support the pain. He’d do it for the kingdom, for
peace, but, above all else, for her.

But Flare immediately drugged him and reduced him to a tool. She didn’t even wait a
day.

“How could you do something so terrible? We’re both people.”

The anger at what he had been subjected to began to build as he regained his memory.
He slammed his hands to the ground and wailed, stifling his voice.

Flare, Blade, and Bullet are not people. Keyaru asked himself: can I forgive them? And
the answer he got was: no, absolutely not.

“I will hurt them, break them, kill them. They are not people. They are pure evil. No
human being could do such a terrible thing. Evil like them must be exterminated.”

Keyaru kept talking to himself. Then, lying down, he began to think of ways to take
revenge.

Keyaru’s enemies are strong. He’s not suited for combat, so there’s no way he could
beat them in a head on confrontation.

But he realizes one thing. When he thought of ways to kill them, the swordsmanship
of a certain woman came to mind.

As if some kind of force was acting on him, he stood up and traced the pattern. His
body moved just as his mind wished it. Not only that, I was able to use several
techniques of countless people.

“This is probably because of all the memories of the people I saw with Heal.”

He became amused and traced every possible technique. If he can do all these things,
he has a chance of winning. He could even use magic he shouldn’t have known.

“If I want revenge, I have to know these three as deeply as possible. Fortunately, I have
healed them many times. I know their weaknesses.”

Keyaru’s face twisted wickedly. There was something interesting in Flare’s memory.
The heart of the Demon Lord, the Philosopher’s Stone. The existence of a forbidden
spell hidden in the capital.

Flare’s true goal is to kill the Demon Lord, obtain the Philosopher’s Stone, and use the
forbidden spell to conquer the world. If he could stop it, it would be the greatest
revenge.

But that is not enough. If I use the heart of the Demon Lord that I took from her,
wouldn’t I be able to do something amazing? Such as using Heal on the world and
returning to the past? That’s what Keyaru thought.

“I’m going to start this whole world over. And this time, I will destroy their lives.
Princess Flare, I’m going to make you my dog. I’m going to make you an obedient dog,
and I’m going to love you, just like you did to me. Blade, you stupid lesbian, I’m going
to teach you to hate men. I’m going to show you how I have fun with your beloved
Flare. I’ll show you humiliation. Bullet, you rapist pedophile. I’ll make sure you can’t
do anything bad to any boy ever again. I’ll rip off your limbs, crush your throat, and
make you look ugly. That’s it! I’ll destroy the three of them with what they love most!”

Keyaru had a lot of fun thinking of ways to get revenge on them. He laughed. For him,
who had been hurt so much, revenge was hope.

“I need power, more power. I have a lot of knowledge and experience from the people
I’ve healed. Until then, I have to be patient. I’ll endure it, get revenge in the new world
and be happy.”

Keyaru would be happy. He told himself strongly in his heart.

“No, if I only think about revenge, then it’s the same as them taking my life from me
again. I can’t think only about revenge. After I’m done with them, I’ll dedicate myself
to be happy.”

Keyaru was dead inside because the only feeling he had inside him was of hate. But he
had to start over. That’s why making revenge the sole objective of his life would be
stupid.

I want to be happy. I’ve been through hell, so I have the right to be happier than anyone
else. That’s what he told himself.
Keyaru recovered himself by the next day.

And he continued to think greedily about gaining strength and realize the future that
awaited him after he used Heal on the world.

Not only that, he implemented all the methods to become strong that he learned from
all the people he had healed. He even tried eating monsters to become stronger.

Along the way, he thought about killing those three right away. It was nothing but hell
for him to endure the abuse of these three while he was conscious. But he continued
to endure.

In order to get revenge in the next world… and be happy.

Finally, his journey came to an end. At last, he reached the Demon Lord.

Here he could outwit the Heroes and obtain the Philosopher’s Stone.

He put his hand on his mask of emotionlessness.

Now, the battle with the Demon Lord was about to begin.

“Finally, the time to endure is over.”

He removes his mask.

For a year, he has never once shown them his true face in order to pretend to be
broken. But he no longer needs to hide. He smiles a fierce smile.

There is no longer a weak Keyaru here. There was a strong Keyaru who became strong
and devoured everything.

Bullet, the Gun Hero, was burned to death. Flare, the Magic Hero, crumbled. Blade, the
Sword Hero, was seriously wounded.

Keyaru runs toward the Demon Lord. His feet are light.

From now on, he will overthrow and take everything. In order to be happy.
“Keyaruga-sama! Keyaruga-sama!”

I woke up hearing a woman’s voice. I look around, we’re still in the inn like before.

“Good morning, Freia. What’s wrong? For you to wake me up like that.”

“You seemed like you were having a nightmare. I got worried and woke you.”

“I see, I’m sorry to worry you… Thank you, Freia.”

“No, everything of mine is for Keyaruga-sama. This much is only natural.”

Freia, a beautiful girl with light pink hair, blushed a little and smiled proudly.

Freia is actually princess Flare, the woman I hated so much.

My grudge won’t disappear by simply killing her. That’s why I erased her memory and
changed her face. From now on, I’ll use her as my slave, both for fighting as well for
sex.

The person herself is happy to serve me and wholeheartedly laughs. It’s comical.

“I had a bad dream, but… I’m glad to have seen it. It reminded me of what I need to
do.”

Freia tilts her head curiously. But there’s no need for me to explain it to her, nor for
her to understand it.

That dream reminded me of what I must do. Taking revenge on princess Flare was just
the beginning. The Sword Hero and the Gun Hero are still out there.
They treated me just as badly as princess Flare did. I will definitely get my revenge.

We had breakfast in the inn and then began heading out of the capital.

We were going to take the regular horse-drawn carriage to the next town, but that
service is under strict regulation due to the recently increased security measures. So
we were left with no choice but to walk.

We just made it out of the city. I was able to easily pass the inspection. That’s only a
matter of course, since the man who is wanted is the captain of the royal guard, not
me, and Freia is just a girl.

“Freia, make sure you hold on to your luggage.”

“Y-yes, Keyaruga-sama.”

I’m still not really used to my new name, Keyaruga, so it took me a second to respond
to it.

Both Freia and I are carrying luggage, and they’re quite heavy. It’s several kilometers
until the next town, so we had to pack a lot of things.

Since we’re not sure what we’ll be able to find on the way, we had to pack a lot of water
and food, as well as other necessities such as clothes. Making our luggages quite heavy.

A heavy luggage also means our expenses were quite high.

It would be regrettable to skimp out on equipment for our travels, so we purchased a

set of lightweight but sturdy clothes for the two of us and a cloak to cover our faces.

As expected, I wasn’t able to buy anything enchanted with magic, but that’s fine. I’ll
make one myself one of these days. With alchemy and knowledge, all I need is time.

Metal armor would be better for defense than the clothes we got, but it wouldn’t be
worth it for our long trip. It would be a severe lack of insight on my part if I wasted
money on that.
I also brought a sturdy water bottle, preserved food, sleeping bags, and more stuff
we’ll need along the way.

In the end, we spent about half the money we had. We have to find a way to make more
money soon.

“P-please wait, Keyaruga-sama. T-the luggage is heavy.”

Freia is breathing hard. I thought this much would be no problem for her, but I
supposed she was never used to exercising herself. But she’ll be able to show the real
value of her status after getting used to it.

“I’m sure Freia can endure it. So give it your best shot.”

“But it’s the first time I carry something so heavy. Please, let’s slow down.”

“This is for Freia’s own good. If you can’t move on the battlefield, you die. Besides,
didn’t I tell Freia she can do it?”

It couldn’t be helped if she actually lacked the ability to do it. but she’s still level 25,
even if she is a Magician, so her physical strength is basically that of a superhuman.

In other words, the only reason why she’s having trouble is because she believes she
can’t do it. It’s a problem that can only be solved by forcing her. If I let her be, she’ll
never be able to do it.

“I understand! I’ll do my best to live up to Keyaruga-sama’s expectations.”

Hearing my words, Freia quickens her steps. It seems she got a little motivated. Well,
if she runs out of energy or gets muscle pains, I’ll use Heal to help her a little. By the
time we reach the next town, she’ll already be much better.

“I know that Keyaruga-sama is aiming for the town of Ranalitta, but is there a reason
for that?”

“Yes, I’m going to make a new friend. Freia and I are both rearguards, so we need a
vanguard.”

By the way, I convinced Freia that I’m a nobleman from some country training as a
warrior and on a quest to save the world. It’s not exactly a lie, since I plan to travel all
over the world, become stronger, and end the war between humans and demons.

“I see. I believe there must be many strong adventurers there.”

She seems to have some kind of idea of how the town is. Even though her memory has
been erased, common knowledge still remains.

In a single phrase, Ranalitta is the city of caos.

Many products, both legal and illegal, gather there. And it’s easy to enter the city, so
lots of people come and go. That’s why many yakuza-like adventurers like to live there.
It’s a good place to live as long as you’re strong.

“I don’t expect much from the adventurers. What I expect to get there is a surprise.”

My purpose is to visit the slave market. About 60% of the country’s slaves are bought
and sold there.

Demi-humans caught with the purpose of being turned into slaves gather in Ranalitta.
Some of the illegal requests made to adventurers involve raiding demi-human villages,
catching the women and the children and distributing them to the slave market.

I don’t personally like the existence of these people, but I have to use what I can. At the
very least, I plan to treat the slave I buy in a way that they’ll be happy it was me who
bought them.

But I need to be careful when buying a slave. They can be a hit or a miss.

Because many of them are demi-humans who were forcefully abducted, most of them
are in poor condition and it’s not uncommon for them to die right after they’re bought.
The talent values and level cap also depend on luck. And demi-humans who come with
an Appraisal are much more expensive.

But I have the Jade Eye and Heal. I can carefully select and purchase some species with
high physical attack, physical defense and speed, and I can even heal them if they are
wounded.

Freia and I continue to walk. During that, I sometimes picked up some wild grass and
mushrooms, since I had an idea for a money-making scheme. With some luck, things
will go well in the next town.
Because of our high levels, we’re also going quite fast. At this pace, we’ll only have to
camp out twice. As I was thinking that, Freia called out to me.

“By the way, you’ve been gathering grasses and mushrooms for a while. What are they
for?”

“To earn money for our travels.”

I said that to her and then showed the basket in my hands with its contents.

“This is?”

“I’ll use these wild grasses and mushrooms to make medicine. I can use alchemy
magic, so I can extract the medicinal ingredients and make them into enchanted
potions.”

“You can do even that. I’m surprised.”

Freia looks at me with eyes filled with respect. I can only smile wryly at that. Alchemy
has a lot of practical use outside combat, such as the ability to produce stuff, or you
could even say that’s the correct way to use it.

Using Heal is quick and easy, but it’ll make me stand out. But by passing myself as an
alchemist doctor and using alchemy to make potions and the Jade Eye to find sick
people, I can earn money discreetly.

And it’ll also earn credibility to my claim of being an alchemist.

“I’ll do my best to help Keyaruga-sama sell his potions in the city.”

“Well, if Freia is around, I’m sure it’ll sell well.”

It would be hard for me to pop up out of nowhere and appeal to the public. But if
there’s an extraordinarily beautiful girl like Freia there, then the customers will come
flocking over. Good looks itself is a weapon.

As long as the customers come, I can win them over with the quality of my potions. At
that point, I’ll win against any other vendors. I’m offering potions made by an
alchemist, after all.
For the time being, I should focus on getting money for our travels. I put power into
my Jade Eye and continue collecting grasses and mushrooms one after the other.

After that, we continued walking for 2 more hours. Then we set up camp in an open
area of the forest a little off the road.

I set up the tent while teaching Freia how to do it. She has some trouble but tries her
best to learn. She’s smart and dexterous, so after we do it two more times or so she
should be able to learn it.

While I was making our camp, I sensed the presence of something with magic power.
I turned my head and saw a rabbit-like creature with a horn on its head looking at me.
Lucky me.

Smiling, I took out a knife from my pocket and threw it at the rabbit. The knife pierced
the rabbit’s forehead.

“Pigyaa!”

With that final scream, the rabbit became a corpse.

“This is good, Freia. We’ll have meat for dinner rather than just preserved food.”

“Keyaruga-sama, that’s a monster, you know. You’ll get an upset stomach if you eat it.”

She was right, there’s a difference between monsters and ordinary animals. The
difference between them is if they carry miasma on them or not.

For humans, that miasma is like poison. You won’t get off unscathed if you eat a
monster. But, on the knowledge I have absorbed, there is a way to get rid of the
miasma.

It’s knowledge I got from a certain sage when I used Imitation Heal on him. An ancient
hero called Souji* found out a method to remove the miasma of monsters and turn
them safe for consumption and he wrote a thesis about it.

“Don’t worry, it’s safe. And we’ll need it to become stronger anyway.”
Even I don’t want to eat monsters.

In the thesis written by the ancient hero, he says that demons have a factor that helps
humans become stronger. I can confirm the presence of that factor with my Jade Eye.

If I eat the meat of this monster, that factor will adapt to my body and my talent values
will rise. I can increase my talent values a little with Transformation Heal, but this is
an addition to that. But I have to take in the factor in appropriate form.

I chuckle as I eat the meat of the one-horned rabbit. It’s a bit nostalgic. I did the same
thing in my previous life. I would often be made to go without meals, so I’d sneak out
to hunt a monster and use the ancient hero’s technique to remove its miasma for me
to eat it.

Maybe that even helped me overwhelm the Demon Lord in that final battle. At that
time, I was really skilled with Heal, so I was able to easily and instantly focus my talent
values on whatever I needed at the moment. I hope to reach the same level of skill
again.

“Freia, I’ll make a delicious dinner soon, so look forward to it.”

Now then, let’s have a tasty, tasty dinner. Food made of monsters is unexpectedly not
bad.
I killed the one-horned rabbit that showed up, butchered the meat and then started a
fire for cooking. Of course, it was for tonight’s dinner.

The miasma contained in the meat of monsters is poisonous to humans, so you can’t
eat monsters. But, beside the miasma, it also contains a factor that helps humans get
stronger.

Each monster has a different factor, so there’s no point in eating the same monster
twice. For example, after taking in the factor of this one-horned rabbit…

“Hou, it seems my talent for physical attack went up by 2.”

And just like that, my talent value increased. The status is made up of multiplying the
talent values by the level. My physical attack talent might have only gone up by 2, but
it’s already good that the base value has increased.

The higher the level, the bigger the difference these small increases will make.

I use Transformation Heal on the meat that I’m handling. Using the foundation of a
theory an ancient hero made, I remove the miasma and activate the factor. You can’t
just go around eating any and all monsters, you have to check for the factor every time.

It’s terrifying that the ancient hero Souji managed to figure this out without the Jade
Eye. There’s rumors he left many research papers, but he’s someone who lived
hundreds of years ago, so most of them are gone.

I would like to look through his research one day. Souji is the ancestor of the Sword
Saint. Maybe if I ask Sword Saint Kureha, whom I healed, she’ll let me look through the
documents. I’ll ask her that if I see her again.

“Now, I should concentrate on cooking.”

I distracted myself a little. I should think about tonight’s dinner rather than the far
future.

I cut up the rabbit’s meat and decided to use the best part, the thigh, for dinner. I’ll cut
up the rest and keep it as jerky on stock. I want to keep a good stock of preserved food,
and I’ll also let our new companion eat this to increase her talent values.

I cut the meat into thin slices, put salt on it and fry it. At the same time, I bring out our
preserved bread and cut it in half. I put in the nicely grilled meat with some tomatoes
and cheese.

It’s a simple dish, but it’s tasty. A one-horned rabbit thigh sandwich. I also made an
impromptu tea by boiling some medicinal herbs.

It’s quite a good menu for people who are traveling.

“Freia, shall we eat?”

I smile at her. Freia was watching the whole cooking process with a blank face.

“It’s amazing. Keyaruga-sama is very skilled.”

“Well, it’s just a matter of getting used to it.”

“It looks delicious even though it’s monster meat.”

“It actually tastes good if you just eat it, you know.”

“But the miasma…”

“Trust me. I already removed the miasma.”

I give Freia a hot rabbit thigh sandwich. She’s no longer princess Flare, but rather
Freia, my trusted servant. I’ll be in trouble later if I don’t raise her status.

Freia timidly accepts the sandwich. The aroma from the savory meat, the acidity of the
tomatoes and the attraction of the melted cheese make Freia’s stomach rumble. That’s
just what happens when you smell good food after getting tired from walking for so
long.

She stares at the sandwich, blushing. Her expression was full of anticipation. It seems
her hunger won over her fear of the monster meat.

“Um, Keyaruga-sama, do you have a knife and fork?”

Come to think of it, Freia used to be a princess. She probably has no concept of eating
with her bare hands.

“This is how you eat it.”

It’s too much trouble to explain, so it’s easier to demonstrate. I bite into the hot
sandwich.

The juices from the juicy thigh meat overflow into my mouth. The acidity of the
tomatoes accentuated the meat’s flavor. The bread had been quite hard to act as
preserved food, but the meat’s juices and cheese made it quite nice to eat.
Put simply, it’s delicious.

“You eat it in such a vulgar-looking way, but it looks so delicious.”

Saying this, Freia reservedly bites into the hot sandwich. Her eyes shine as she
munches on it. And then…

“Delicious!”

She says with a face brimming with joy.

“I didn’t know monsters taste so good, and my stomach isn’t upset either. Let’s eat this
all the time from now on!”

Freia ate the hot sandwich little by little like a small animal, albeit a hungry one.

“As long as you like it.”

“I didn’t know it was possible to make something so delicious with such ingredients.”

“Well, I can’t make anything elaborate, but I can do the minimum to make sure we’ll
have a comfortable trip.”

“That’s still plenty, it’s amazing. To think I even forgot Keyaruga-sama’s amazing
cooking skills, I’m no good as your servant. I hope I can get my memories back soon.”

Freia looked sad for a moment, but then she regained her composure and continued
eating. She really seems to enjoy it. It made me a bit happy.

When she finally finished eating, I figured I should give her some advice.

“I agree that the monsters are delicious, but don’t eat any but the ones I cook for you.
The miasma will kill you.”

Removing the miasma is something impossible to do if you don’t know how. It’s a
complicated technique that you won’t just happen to figure out. And even if you did
know how, the magic used is hard to cast. All of that explains why this method isn’t
widely known.

At the very least, I would be too afraid to eat monster meat that was processed by
someone else. Freia is currently drinking her after meal tea.

I gave her that little warning on the off chance that she ever thought of hunting a
monster for her to eat on her own. But well, if I tell her this much, I’m sure she won’t
do anything strange.

We spent the night in the forest. I slept while being partially awake and alert.

Even though the monster repelling incense I bought is still burning, the forest at night
is still fearsome. There’s all kinds of beasts and monsters. This resting while being on
guard is one of the techniques that don’t rely on skills I got through Imitation Heal.

I looked at Freia, who was sleeping beside me. She seems to be sleeping comfortably
without a care in the world. She must have been tired from the unusual exercise. It’s a
little cute even.

Today as well I enjoyed Freia’s body before she fell asleep. Since her memories are
gone, she thinks of me as her beloved man and accepts my body into hers.

“I have to make sure I don’t become emotionally attached.”

Seeing Flare, whose memories have been erased, become the truly innocent Freia
makes my heart flutter. I’m afraid my hatred might fade.

I chose to not kill princess Flare but to use her as Freia for multiple reasons.

First, her skills as the Magic Hero are excellent. She also has the ability to double the
experience earned in the party she’s at, and that skill is stacked with my own.

Besides, it’s more humiliating to use her than to just kill her.

So I’m just using princess Flare to become stronger and to get revenge. So I’ll even use
her as a shield if I need to. I’ll use her until the very last moment and then, when she’s
as good as tattered rags, I’ll throw her away. It’s not that I hesitated to kill her.

This is only the start of my revenge. My revenge is not over. There’s still the Sword
Hero and the Gun Hero left.
Maybe they could also have their uses, but I think I’ll just kill them. I don’t want to
bother my head with unnecessary things anymore.

The next morning, we removed our camp and left.

For breakfast, we had soup made with the leftover meat from yesterday.

Before we left, I checked our status. The factor we took in from the monster yesterday
had adapted to our bodies. The talent values for mine and Freia’s physical attack rose
up by 2.

That brought my physical attack from 130 to 132, and Freia’s from 70 to 72.

It might not seem like a big change, but the more it accumulates the bigger the
difference becomes.

But taking in any more of the one-horned rabbit’s factor is meaningless. Only new
monsters with other types of factors will make us stronger little by little.

The next day, we progressed faster than I imagined. It’s due to Freia being more used
to physical labor. This allowed her to show the real power of her high status and we
were able to reach Ranalitta before the sun had completely set.

We were able to easily enter Ranalitta without any identification, as we’d need in any
other city.

As we walked into town, a carriage suddenly came up behind us at high speeds. It was
quite dangerous, but here in Ranalitta it’s a common sight. I looked at the back of the
carriage and saw a cage there.

In that cage, cat-eared girls were chained together and crying as they held the bars
with both hands. They must have been kidnapped from some demi-human village to
be sold as slaves.

Immediately, I was almost overwhelmed by the chaotic liveness of the city.

Instead of the orderly grid-like townscape of the capital, these buildings are clustered,
with each owner thinking only of their own convenience. This city never sleeps, with
constant voices trying to attract customers and angry shouts, even though it’s already
night.

Ranalitta has many names. Such as the Dark City, where many crimes occur and illegal
dealings take place.

It’s a city where the law is vague, so the only person who will look out for you is
yourself, conflict is always raging. The City of the Strong.

Because of this, money flows more actively than any other city and wealthy people are
born every day. The City of Gold.

Here, the price of life is cheap. And, if you’re not careful, someone’s going to take yours
or make you pay for it. To be the one that takes, you need to be strong and smart. I will
be the one who takes.

Now then, after I find an inn, I should immediately go buy a slave. I’ll need a good
shield.
After we arrived in Ranalitta, Freia and I looked for a place to stay.

Ranalitta has many visitors, ranging from adventurers, criminals and immigrants from
poor villages. There’s also the businessman who come here to buy slaves and other
goods.

There are enough places to house all these people. There are inns aimed at the poor
people and inns aimed at the wealthy people. Thinking of the money in my wallet, it
would be better to stay in a cheaper inn, but that’s not actually a good idea.

The cheap inns in this city are scarier than the forest at night. It’s basically asking to
be stripped of everything you have. Either the other guests or the owner themselves
might steal from you.

Freia and I are going to the middle section of the city. Ranalitta is basically divided into
three sections.

The poor section, where the poor, riffraff and criminals live. It’s unsafe and full of
illegal things. The sanitation is also not good.

The middle section, where those with a certain amount of income live. The minimum
level of security and sanitation is secured.

Then there’s the wealthy section, where the aristocrats and rich people gather. The
streets are beautiful and safe, thanks to their large donations.

I decided to stay at a reasonably expensive inn in the middle section because I could
afford it with the money I had and it offered good security.

“Keyaruga-sama, I can’t wait to sleep in a soft futon. I haven’t been sleeping well in the
sleeping bag.”

“It is hard to rest and relieve fatigue with a sleeping bag.”

Freia’s words make me laugh. I can’t believe she says she’s having trouble sleeping
when she immediately sleeps due to fatigue. The former princess is still not used to
traveling. Today, let’s wash ourselves with warm water and sleep on a soft futon.

The next morning, we were able to relieve a lot of our fatigue due to staying at a decent
inn with nice accommodation. The rate was a little pricey, but there’s no substituting
for security.

Freia and I are heading to the poor section in order to sell medicine. Slaves are
expensive, so we had to make money to buy one.

Until last night, I was wondering what kind of potion to make. Before we arrived, I had
been gathering wild plants and mushrooms with medicinal value from everywhere we
went, but I hadn’t made them into potions yet. There’s no point in making a potion I
can’t sell.

But now I know what I have to make, and it’ll definitely sell well. I think back to the
inn last night.

Even though we were in the middle section, it was worth choosing a higher-price inn.
The dinner was included and the food wasn’t bad. But there was one fatal flaw.

“Keyaruga-sama, why did you say we shouldn’t drink the water? I’m glad you ordered
a good drink, but I’m worried about our expenses.”

With good timing, Freia asked me about the fatal flaw, so I decided to explain it to her.

“My eye is special and I can see bad things. The water is poisoned. I was curious, so I
did some research and found out that the city’s water supply is contaminated. There
must be quite a few poisoned monster corpses sinking upstream. The poison has been
diluted, but I wonder if it could cause illness if it accumulates in the body to some
degree.”
I felt a strange taste in the water, so I decided to check everything we were served with
my Jade Eye. At first, I thought the owner had tried to give us a sleeping drug to give
us the city’s usual welcome and take everything we had during the night, but the
poison is of monster origin and has no immediate effect.

So I told Freia to not drink any of the water and ordered some wine for us to drink.
After that, we checked the water in the well and I was able to guess the cause.

“Err, if the water is polluted, then wasn’t the meal dangerous as well? Was it fine?”

“That was fine. The poison is sensitive to heat, so it’s fine as long as you cook it. And
it’s also very diluted, so it won’t cause any trouble unless you consume it a lot. And the
contamination of the water supply should be cleared in about a month, unless another
monster happens to die there.”

Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. The poison isn’t fatal, and there are probably no long-
term side-effects.

“Phew, what a relief. We shouldn’t drink any water that hasn’t been heated while we’re
in town.”

“It’s no big deal even if you get it. At most, you’d spend two months in bed with a high
fever, and you’d feel a constant stabbing pain in your body.”

“Isn’t that a really big deal?!”

Freia is making a fuss. It’s not that easy to take in so much poison from monsters. Just
by looking at the people walking around outside, you can see many of them are
starting to show mild symptoms. In a week, there will probably be a good number of
seriously ill people. Probably a few hundreds or thousands.

“I thought that a lot of people in this city looked sick, but could it be?”

“Yeah, there’s a number of people suffering the initial symptoms, but considering the
water source itself is poisoned, it’s only to be expected.”

“That’s really bad, isn’t it?!”

Bad? No, it’s an opportunity. I can make a lot of money with this.
I’m very lucky. Come to think of it, in the first world, I heard there was an epidemic in
Ranalitta. This must be it.

“Keyaruga-sama, your face says you’re thinking of something evil.”

“I wasn’t thinking anything evil. Being here at this timing, I was thinking of a way to
save everyone. That’s why I was smiling.”

After I said that, Freia seemed to guess my intention.

“Could it be that the potion Keyaruga-sama makes can save them?”

“Yeah, I think I can do it.”

I drank the water from a bottle I asked from the innkeeper before we left. I pour it all
down my throat.

“Keyaruga-sama, why are you drinking the water?!”

“It’s fine, I can cure myself. And I’ll need the ingredients to cure the disease.”

“Ingredients?”

“My blood. I’ll make antibodies by drinking the poison. Then, I’ll make a potion using
the antibodies in my blood as a base. That’s the quickest way.”

The Jade Eye, alchemy magic and Heal. It’s something that can only be done by
combining those three things.

The cause of the strange disease assaulting the town is unknown. No cure has been
found and the number of infected people is high. I confirmed that by looking at the
people in the inn’s bar last night. There’s no way this potion won’t sell.

I concentrate on my body, strengthening my immune system. One after another,

antibodies are produced in my body, and I accelerate that with Transformation Heal. I
extract those with alchemy magic, and also I extract the active ingredients from the
medicinal plants that I have on my hand. Then, I synthesize it. I put the liquid I just
made into the flash I just emptied.

With this, the potion is completed. On the way, I brought about 30 flasks and made
about as much as an adult male would need to drink.

“It’s amazing, Keyaruga-sama. With this, you can cure the illness and save the city!”

“I don’t plan on becoming a hero, and I don’t plan to name myself as the maker of this
potion either. But I will use this medicine as much as I can.”

“No way, if Keyaruga-sama says you made the medicine that saved the city, you’ll be
praised and you can get money and honor… You’re so humble, Keyaruga-sama.”

I chuckle. I won’t deny it because it’s too much trouble, but Freia is making a big
mistake. I’m only thinking of myself 100% of the time.

Selling medicine for an unknown disease that is spreading to everyone and no one
knows how to cure is just a lump of profit. As long as we’re the only ones who can sell
it, we could make a lot of money. But that would also bring a lot of danger.

The people with money and power will do whatever they can to capture the person
making the potions so they can have that monopoly for themselves. The people
without money and power are also dangerous, since they’ll risk anything to try and
get a cure for themselves or a loved one, even if they have to kill me for it.

No matter how many lives I have it’ll never be enough.

I can’t just go to the streets and shout “I developed a cure for a strange disease. But it!”
I would be ruined in less than a day.

Convenient power is a double-edged sword, I learned that the hard way in the first
world.

In a business that deals with life, you risk your own life. You have to be very careful on
how you choose to sell your products. So I thought of a way to make it easy, safe and
profitable.

Now then, let’s hurry to the poor section. I have to make a lot of money so I can buy a
slave soon.
We enter the poor section. The streets have changed drastically and even the smell of
something rotting hits my nose.

Our goal is the shop that sells illegal goods. Illegal goods are dealt with in the poor
section. Even here in the poor section, we can find people with money and the
intermediaries used to deliver the illegal goods to the rich.

“Freia, be careful, you never know when you might get attacked here. Here you’re just
an attractive commodity. Human slavery may be illegal, but the people here don’t
exactly care.”

Freia is an exceptionally beautiful girl. Even if she’s wearing a traveling outfit designed
for practicality only, there’s no hiding her beauty. I’ve been putting my attention to the
sword hanging from my waist since earlier. It’s good manners when walking around
here.

“Yes, Keyaruga-sama. I, Freia, won’t let myself fall behind just any random person.”

Freia proudly hits her chest with full confidence. At her level, she shouldn’t have any
problem unless it’s an exceptionally strong opponent. But that’s only if she can face
them head-on.

With my advice over, we continued walking toward our destination.

But I immediately stopped. I pulled out my sword, still on its sheath, from the latch.
From its position from my waist, I trusted my sheathed sword at Freia’s face.

“Hii!”

Freia screams as she sees the sheathed sword approaching. It passed right beside her
face and hit some skinny guy right between the brows.

“Gyaaa! Ouch, it hurts!”

He had a cloth on his hand that reeked of drugs. It was clear what he planned to do.

“Freia, be more careful next time. I’ll train you in close-quarters combat. You won’t be
able to get skills since you’re a Magician, but you should still know minimum self-
defense. At least enough to buy time until the vanguard can save you.”

“…I understand. To think someone could get behind me so easily. Please teach me
close-quarters combat, Keyaruga-sama.”

This time’s opponent was a profissional and he seemed quite used to it, so it couldn’t
be helped that Freia didn’t notice him, even more so considering she’s a novice at
everything that’s not magic. I’m sure he’s one of the guys who kidnap rich people who
came to buy slaves.

Freia got scared and held onto my sleeve. It’s a bit of a nuisance, but it should be fine
if it’s just for today. I continue walking while smiling at her.

Freia and I reached our destination, but we just kept watching the people moving
about.

I’m using my Jade Eye to try and find the right guy since a while ago. At the same time
as I did that, I kept my ears peeled and shooed away people who were making passes
at Freia.

Apparently, the strange disease is a hot topic for conversation here in the poor section.
This makes it easier to do business. Finally, I found the people I’ve been looking for.

The guy enters a store that deals with illegal goods right in front of me. He has an
escort and it looks like he has quite a lot of influence.

That merchant has a distinctive air around him, so I can tell what kind of person he is
right away.
Also, he’s wearing a certain perfume that’s popular among the wealthy. He shouldn’t
have such a thing on him if he didn’t deal with rich people. Since he came to buy illegal
goods, I can assume he is an intermediary who sells his stuff to the wealthy.

And both him and his escort are mildly ill. I didn’t think I’d find such a perfect target
so quickly.

My luck is good. Must be because of my constant good actions.

Around the time I finished discussing the business plan with Freia, the merchant and
his escort came out of the store. Freia appeared in front of them and told them what I
taught her before.

“Fine looking uncle over there, I have a good story for you.”

The merchant’s escort stopped for a second. He was admiring Freia’s beauty.

That’s the reason why I had Freia go out and talk to them. If it was me, they would
have just ignored me and continued walking and I would have lost my chance to
discuss business. But if it’s a beautiful girl like Freia, they’ll stop and listen.

“What a beautiful girl. Your skin is glossy and your manners are elegant. Could you be
the daughter of some noble?”

I’m surprised. He must be a good merchant. Even though she’s dressed like that, he
was able to see right through her.

Freia smiled, neither confirming nor denying what he said.

“I’ve come to bring you a get rich quick scheme.”

“That’s interesting. I thought you were just a child that decided to come play with fire
and wanted to ask me for money, but… I didn’t realize it was a business deal. What’s
your story?”

The merchant looks at Freia and I with warm eyes. He probably thinks we’re just
children playing about, but because the possibility of her being a noble’s daughter
seems high, he can’t simply reject us. That’s probably what he’s thinking.

“Let’s move somewhere else, since we’re standing out here.”

“Haha, you’re quite earnest. But that’s fine. Let’s go to my favorite shop. I’ll hear you
out there.”

And so the four of us moved. The merchant showed us to a store that looked like it
belonged to the poor section, but the interior was well cleaned. He ordered tea for all
of us, saying it was his treat.

Freia was looking at me. Thanks to her, we were able to start the negotiations. Now
it’s my turn, so I’ll nail him hard from the start.

“Our offer is to sell you, and only to you, a potion that can cure the strange illness that’s
spreading throughout the city. A merchant of your caliber surely understands what
that means.”

The moment he hears this, the merchant’s color changes. But then he immediately
bursts out laughing.

“Oh that’s just great. So a child like you has the cure even all the best doctors and
Healers in the town can’t find. It’s like a bad joke.”

Freia and I have only just turned 14, so we probably look like children in his eyes. But
that’s still within expectations.

“It’s understandable that you don’t believe us, but it’s the truth. We are from the west,
and over there, we have taken a different approach to pharmacy compared to here.
Because of that, I was able to make the medicine for this illness.”

Then, I lined up a small batch of potions I had in my pocket.

“Fumu, so that’s the medicine. But how do I know it’s real?”

“Why not try it yourself? You and your escort are going through the first symptoms of
the illness, right? In the near future, you’ll collapse with a high fever and groan with
pain all over your body.”

I say that like it’s nothing while smiling at him. The merchant seems frightened.
“I’m… not ill.”

“You are, and you know it. Your body feels strangely sluggish. You occasionally feel
pain on your feet’s pinky. Only the right side of your body is cold. These are all the
symptoms of the strange disease. Everyone had it before they collapsed. Surely a
merchant with good ears such as yourself knows this.”

He was at a loss for words. It’s not that he wasn’t aware of it, it’s that he didn’t want to
admit it.

“If your medicine is real I’d pay any amount of money for it. I’ll ask just for reference,
how much do you want?”

He didn’t exactly believe me, but he must be grasping at straws. The terminal
symptoms of this disease are disastrous. Once you see it, you know you don’t want to
end up like that.

“You’re quick, but let’s leave the price negotiation for after. First, I’ll give you these two
bottles as a sign of trust. Go on, try them.”

I gave two bottles to the merchant, who swallowed his saliva in anticipation.

The reason why I gave him two bottles is so that he can have the escort drink it first.
There’s no way you just swallow a medicine given by some random person. He can
make sure the potion works by giving it to his escort.

Realizing my intentions, the merchant gives a bottle to his escort. His face that was
losing its color regained its vitality. He looks absentminded for a few minutes, until he
finally raises a surprised voice.

“My body feels light and my sluggishness is gone. When did I last feel as good as this?!”

The potion is quite fast acting. I also added this dramatic effect to make the person
suddenly feel energetic. It gave the illusion of sudden improvement.

The merchant, seeing his escort much better, drinks his own potion. He looks up at the
ceiling and closes his eyes. When the potion took effect, he suddenly opened his eyes
and mouth.

“Hou, I understand. This medicine certainly is the real deal. We were in the early stages
of the disease, but does it also work on those who are completely ill?”

“Yes, I guarantee it… Now then, since you’ve confirmed the effects of the medicine, let’s
go back to the beginning. I plan to sell this medicine only to you.”

I put an emphasis on the “only to you” part. The merchant gulps down his saliva. By
now, he’s probably of all the money he can get as well as all the power he’ll have
depending on who he sells this to and how he negotiates it.

“The potion is good, but are you willing to sell the recipe as well?”

I expected that. Having the means to make the product is better than just having the
finished product.

“I can’t do that, it’s a family secret. It also requires high-level and specialized skills and
magic in order to produce it, and the ingredients aren’t available in this country. Even
if you got the recipe, you wouldn’t be able to reproduce it.”

The first half is a complete lie, but the second half is true. I made the potions with my
antibodies, but ordinary people can’t make antibodies capable of fighting off monster
poison. And it’s impossible to make the potion without the use of alchemy, which only
people with the Alchemist class can use.

The merchant looks to his escort. I expected that to happen, so let’s nail him down
first.

“You shouldn’t do that, I’m stronger than him. You’ll just end up ruining our business
meeting. Besides, I can’t make the medicine if I don’t go out to get the ingredients.”

“Hahaha, what do you mean by ‘that’?”

The merchant gives me a forced smile along with a barefaced lie.

“Well, I’m happy if it’s an unnecessary concern. Let’s start the negotiations. I have 28
potions on me.”

“May I ask how much would they cost?”

“One gold coin each.”

A gold coin is the amount someone who works the whole day makes in a month. It’s
expensive for a single potion, but…

The merchant smiles as if he’s ridiculing me. Well, it’s only normal. It’s too little for
such a good potion. If you negotiate it right, you can get a digit or two more out of each
one.

“Fine, I’ll buy it all. But this much is not enough. Can you make more? I’ll take the ones
you have right now, but how long would it take to make more?”

“2 days. Give me 2 days and I’ll prepare more. How about we meet here again in the
evening in 2 days?”

“I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be sure to bring a bag filled with gold coins.”

The merchant smiles happily. Let me tell him one last important thing.

“By the way, this time, I accepted a single gold coin for each, but next time it won’t be
the same prince. This was just an investment to build a relationship of trust.”

The merchant’s smile disappears. He probably thought he was going to buy it from me
for a gold coin each the second time as well.

“How much would it be then?”

“I’ll let you decide. But make sure to give me half of the profit you gain from selling it.
If you lie to me, I’ll never sell it to you again and I’ll just pick someone else to do
business with.”

The merchant likely has a lot of conflict going on in his mind.

On one hand, it’s easy to fake the amount of profit, but if he’s found out, this method
of surely making a lot of money will vanish from his sight. To tell the truth, he can still
make a huge amount of money even if his profit is halved.

He’s also probably wondering if I really would sell it to some other merchant, or if he
could just capture me at the next meeting. His worries are endless.

“Well then, I look forward to seeing you again.”

I stand up to leave. I have nothing more to say.

The merchant gives us his parting words with still a lot of thoughts in his head.

After parting with the merchant, I started heading towards the shop from before.

“Keyaruga-sama, why did you leave your potions to that man instead of selling them
yourself? Wouldn’t you make a higher profit if you sold it yourself?”

Freia asked with a curious look on her face.

“We are on a journey to save the world, so we don’t have time to tend to a shop. It’s
better to leave these things to a professional merchant.”

“I see. As expected of Keyaruga-sama. You really don’t have any greed, do you?”

I told her a reason that seemed good, but the number one reason is for safety. The
more people know I can make potions, the more dangerous it becomes. I prefer the
current situation where only one person knows I can make potions. The merchant will
try to hide my existence so he can monopolize the medicine.

Besides, I don’t have connections to sell the medicine safely. I need contacts in order
to sell a small amount of potions for a high price. This merchant even has connections
to people who deal with illegal goods. He’ll sell it to the right people for the right price,
and he’ll do so with secrecy and security.

It’s something I’d never be able to do. Considering all the trouble, it’s best to just leave
it to the merchant.

There’s also the possibility that the merchant will get greedy and try to capture me.
But, even if that happens, a merchant can only gather so many soldiers. It’s much
easier than dealing with every single person in town.

But, since I want to avoid any sort of trouble, I’ll skip our second meeting if I sense
anything wrong with the meeting place.

“Now then, we’re finally at the shop from before.”

“Ah, now that you mention it, I forgot to ask what we’re going to buy. What are we
buying?”

“A slave.”

I answer with a smile. I have on my hands the gold coins I earned just a few minutes
ago. This is more than what a normal worker would get in two years. It’s a fair price
for a slave.

Now then, let’s use the Jade Eye in order to find the best slave in the store and buy her.
I’ll buy a woman with high talent values. As long as it’s a woman, the level cap is no
problem.

I entered the store with high expectations.

Freia asks me what we’re going to buy in a store in the poor section. There’s no need
to hide it, so I honestly told her I planned to buy a slave, and that made Freia frown.

“…A slave?”

“Freia, you don’t like it?”

“I feel sorry for them. To have their liberty be taken away and forced to obey others’
orders.”

I burst out in laughter after hearing that. Even if she’s lost her memories, to think her
of all people would say something like that.

“You’re right. It’s very sad for the slaves who are left unsold or who are bought by a
strange customer. But I’m kind, the slave I buy will be happier than any other. In a way,
you could even say I’m helping them.”

“That’s true. But why a slave? Isn’t an adventurer better at fighting than a slave?”

I shook my head at Freia’s words. Recruiting an adventurer is something only someone

who’s completely out of their mind would do.

“Unlike Freia, who loves me and follows my orders, adventurers act thinking only of
themselves. You can never be sure when they’ll decide to leave, and the money needed
to pay them is high. Besides, I’m not focusing on the current strength, but on the
quality. It’s better to pick an obedient slave with a promising future.”

People don’t act to benefit others. They act on their own convenience. That’s
something that’s impossible to stop.
The only way to stop that would be to hypnotize them or erase their memories like I
did with Freia, but I have established a rule for myself that I won’t do anything
unreasonable to someone who’s not a target of my revenge.

That’s why my only choice is to pick a slave who’ll obey me. In addition, demi-humans
usually have higher talent values than humans.

The value depends on the race, but the average total talent value for demi-humans is
in the 400s, while humans are in the 300s. But demi-humans usually have a lower level
cap than humans, so usually humans can be stronger when compared at their utmost
limit.

“I understand. It’s something necessary for Keyaruga-sama’s world-saving journey. I’ll

do my best to help pick a good slave.”

Freia tightly closes her hands into a fist. She’s been so obedient lately that it’s
sickening. She messes with me with that voice and attitude. It would be troublesome
if she were cheeky, but this is also complicated.

Right now, when she has basically no experiences to define her personality, you could
call it Freia’s most pure state. Is this the real true face of princess Flare?

No, that can’t be true. Even now, she’s probably still trying to trick me by only showing
her good side. There’s no changing the fact that I’ll use her until she breaks.

Well then, let’s get this shopping done already.

I was in a store in the poor section that’s well known for dealing with things behind
the scenes.

This store is spacious and beautifully decorated for this section of the city. I suppose
it’s only right, since it deals with high-class customers.

There’s also a large number of bodyguards, probably because the merchandise is

expensive, but it’s also a way to prevent the slaves from escaping. Here, they take the
captive demi-humans and train them to be slaves, there would be those who would
try to escape, so the number of guards is justified.
“Welcome, dear customers. What are you looking for today?”

An elderly employee called out to me. He’s giving me a smile, but he’s probably
wondering if I’m here just to window shop.

“I’m here to go to the basement.”

The first floor of this shop is filled with stolen goods, illegal drugs and magic tools
made by prohibited methods. The slaves are left in the basement. My goal is to go
there.

“Forgive my rudeness dear customer, but… how much do you have on hand?”

I silently hand him a small bag of money. Inside were a total of 32 gold coins, as well
as a few copper and silver ones, it’s the majority of my fortune. I added 4 gold coins I
had for traveling expenses to the 28 I earned earlier.

“I beg your pardon. Please, come this way.”

The price of a slave is usually between 20 to 30 gold coins. It would be slightly higher
if they come with an Appraisal. With what I have on hand, there shouldn’t be any
problems.

Slaves are convenient, but they’re expensive, considering the price of one is the
amount a normal worker makes in 2 years. That’s why slave hunters exist. To Them,
demi-humans are only some good prey.

Now then, I hope there are some good slaves waiting for me…

We head down into the basement.

Both sides of the wall have been made into cages, inside, demi-humans of various
species are chained together. Some are looking at us with resentful eyes. Others are
looking with fear.

Lots of incenses were being constantly burned to disguise the smell of the demi-
humans.
Stores like this are careful with hygiene in order to maintain the value of their
products. But incontinence due to fear or vomiting because of the sudden stress and
change of environment can happen at any time. Well, that’s no real wonder.

In order to keep the customers comfortable, they use more fragrant incenses… But
that only makes the demi-humans who are sensitive to smell even more stressed.

“Does our dear customer know how to use magic? If so, we will prioritize the ones that
have revealed their True Name for you.”

“I can use magic, but I want to see all the demi-humans. There’s no need to prioritize
anyone.”

I shook my head at the elderly employee. A True Name is something every living thing
apart from humans have. It’s a name engraved on their very soul.

Humans developed a way to use the True Name for slavery magic. As long as you know
their True Name, you can make demi-humans do whatever you want. It’s one of the
reasons why humans were able to win a war against the demi-humans.

Demi-humans try to keep their True Name hidden, but the slaves that are easier to be
used are more easily sold. So the slavers put the demi-humans through a lot of torture
to get their True Name out.

The elderly employee and I walk slowly while looking through the demi-humans.

“What do you think, dear customer? Have you seen anything you like? Today’s
recommendations are a young man from the White Tiger race, a boy from the Sand
Dog race, and a woman from the Moon Cat race. The White Tigers are proud of their
strength, and the Sand Dogs are strong and won’t break even if you use them
mercilessly. The Moon Cats are the best companions for the night.”

I was listening to his explanations while using my Jade Eye to look at the status and
talents of the demi-human slaves.

We’ve finished circling the room. This means I’ve seen all the slaves in the shop.

“There’s nothing that really catches my eye.”

Among the demi-human men, there was one who had his status vanguard oriented
and his total talent values were in the high 400s. But, because he’s a man, it would
make it extremely difficult for me to use my Hero skill to increase his level cap.

It’s not necessary to use semen, but the probability drops a lot if not. The probability
of a level cap increase is of 100% with highly concentrated semen. But if it’s blood, the
probability is only 1 in every 100 times.

It is possible to give semen to a man, but I have no intention of doing it. I would be
forced to consider it if his talent values were overwhelmingly high, but…

“It’s a shame that no demi-human was able to pass your judgment. Are you perhaps
looking for a sex slave? Maybe a slave for manual labor? Or maybe a combat slave?”

“A combat slave.”

When I said that, the man took me to the male slave I was thinking of just now. He’s a
big man of the White Tiger race. The employee was trying to sell him to me as if he
was his PR man.

But unfortunately, I don’t need him. I should go look in another store.

No, wait, there’s something wrong.

“Where are you keeping the shop’s sick demi-humans?”

With the disease spreading that much in town, there’s no way the demi-humans of this
shop are safe. The ones that have gotten ill are probably being isolated so the disease
doesn’t spread to the other slaves.

“We don’t want anything to happen to our esteemed customers or our other products,
so we’re keeping the damaged goods in quarantine.”

“Can I see them as well?”

I can cure the disease, so there’s no problem if they are “damaged goods”.

“…I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s not very pleasant.”

From what the employee is saying, I can already imagine the situation these demi-
humans are put in. They’re probably receiving very harsh treatment.
“Please, I want to see as many demi-humans as possible.”

I managed to persuade the reluctant employee, and so we stepped into the quarantine
area.

I frowned as soon as I entered the isolated area. It was just terrible.

To start off, various things are smeared all over the place and the smell is very strong.

I saw several demi-humans who were in the terminal stages of the mysterious disease.
They were screaming in agony with pain all over their bodies.

Not only that, there were various demi-humans who were badly injured, clearly not
from the disease. Maybe they resisted and didn’t tell their True Name even at the very
end.

“I’m sorry for this, dear customer. There is a room that’s a bit better further back. Let’s
start looking from there.”

“I understand.”

He said that the back room is a bit better. It’s probably for the demi-humans who they
judged could regain their commercial value with some rehabilitation or medical
treatment.

On the other hand, this room is for those they have already given up on making into
products.

I wonder just how far humans can go in their cruelty. I thought about that as I looked
at the demi-humans who were suffering in despair.

The room I was guided to was, as expected, better than the previous one. There’s at
least the minimum needed for treating illness and wounds.

But still, there was no demi-human who caught my eye. I told that to the employee and
we returned to the room with the slaves that they planned to dispose of.

There were about 10 people in this room. All of them were in a miserable state. But
none of them had what I was looking for.

I looked at the last one. When I thought that, my eyes were caught by a girl. She was
just sitting there quietly. She was from the Ice Wolf race.

Everything about her was white, her hair, her skin, her wolf ears, her tail.

She was probably one or two years younger than me. She was weak and hurt, but still
beautiful.

Surprisingly, her symptoms from the mysterious disease are quite severe. She’s
enduring the pain that can make a grown man cry while staring at us.

Unconsciously, my feet move in her direction.

“She’s no good, dear customer. We planned to sell her at a high price because she’s
strong, but she has already hit her level limit. We used an Appraisal on her. It was our
first time seeing a level limit of only 7.”

Even if you don’t know a person’s level limit, an Appraisal can still show that they’ve
hit their limit with a ☆ next to the level.

A level limit of 7 is low even by demi-human standards. But it’s no problem for me.
Especially since she’s a beautiful girl.

“In the first place, she has a terrible temper. No matter what we did to her, she wouldn’t
say her True Name, she was useless in battle, and she doesn’t obey orders so she can’t
be sold as a slave. We tried to at least make her able to entertain a man, but she broke
her trainer’s crotch with a kick.”

I was stunned for a second and then laughed. She’s a strong minded-girl. Around her
neck is a slave collar.

This is a restraint developed to keep demi-humans captive. It has the effect of diffusing
the collected magic power, making the wearer feel tired and unable to move properly.
In addition, it’s a nasty thing that causes extreme pain if the wearer tries to harm a
human.

It takes more than ordinary mental strength to endure the pain of this mysterious
illness while being subjected to this. She has a strong heart. It’ll be difficult to handle,
but useful once I learn how to use her.

But above all, what I found most interesting was the way she looked at me and the
employee. Those blue eyes look like beautiful jewels, but inside them was a deep
resentment darker than the depths of hell. There’s something she hates, and she hates
it a lot.

Ah, I see. I sympathize with her. She’s the same as me.

I want her. I must have her.

As the employee and I approach her, she springs out and extends her hand towards
us. But her collar has a chain, so we’re just barely out of reach.

She tried to hold back until we were just in reach. She’s strong and smart. I’m liking
her even more.

“Shut!”

The employee shouts. The next moment, the slave collar snaps itself violently and the
Ice Wolf girl falls over.

The employee was breathing hard, then he kicked the Ice Wolf girl again and again.

“You! You! Even though we paid a lot of money to get you since you’re from the rare
Ice Wolf race! Your level limit is shit! You won’t do what you’re told! And now you’re
about to die from this illness! We had a huge loss because of you! Die! Just die already!”

There was no pain or fear in the girl’s eyes. Only hatred. It’s only obvious, but the pain
from the strange disease is much greater than that of the man’s kicks.

I put power into my Jade Eye.

Although she only seems to be about 12 or 13 years old, demi-humans reach

adulthood early, so she’s already awakened to her class.

But still… she’s strong. She’s a high speed vanguard, but skilled in magic as well. The
400s are the average total talent value for demi-humans, but something in the 500s is
very good. And having a special class like Ice Wolf Warrior isn’t bad either. I can
compensate for her fatally low level limit.

“I would appreciate it if you stopped hurting her. She’s mine.”

I grab the shoulder of the employee who was hitting and cursing the Ice Wolf girl to
stop his assault.

“Are you sane? It’s impossible to make this girl obey. And she’s infected with the
mysterious disease as well.”

“It’s fine as long as I pay, isn’t it?”

“Well, we’re fine with that. But we won’t accept any returns.”

“I won’t be returning her. I could even write a contract if you want.”

There’s no way I would ever return this girl, because she’s like me. Just like me, she
has a deep bottomless hatred inside her.

Until now, this girl wouldn’t say her True Name no matter what kind of torture she
faced. But she’ll probably give me her True Name if I offer her the chance to take
revenge. She absolutely can’t win against the temptation to take revenge.
So I approach the Ice Wolf girl to whisper in her ear, so close that the employee can’t
hear me.

“I’ll buy you. If you follow me, I’ll let you take your revenge. You hate them, don’t you?
So shut up and follow me.”

The girl looked at me and then smiled slightly. Then, she lost consciousness.

Until now, she has endured pain beyond any reasonable limit. The pain of this strange
disease, the agony of the high fever, the slave collar that tightens around her neck.

The tension was broken, so she fell unconscious.

After that, I paid the gold and left the store.

Originally, she was a very expensive slave. There were too many positives for her.
Being a beautiful virgin girl from the rare Ice Wolf race, and also powerful to boot. And
she also came with an Appraisal.

A slave like her would normally cost around 50 gold coins. However, because she was
“damaged goods” and hasn’t been properly educated as a slave, I was told that 20 gold
coins, which is below the market value, would be fine.

The employee reminded me that, as long as her True Name wasn’t known, the slave
collar around her neck would be the only chain that binds her. But I don’t need that
for her. I have a better chain: revenge.

I return to the inn, carrying the Ice Wolf girl like a princess.

Well, I got a good deal out of this. She will work as a splendid meat shield with good
abilities, and I am also interested in other peoples’ revenges.

What will she look like when she finally kills the person she hates so much, just as she
wants to do? I want to see it.

She will be my precious pawn. Once I heal her and restore her strength, I will offer her
a deal with the devil to get her True Name. I’ll be gentle and help her get her revenge.
Such unconcealed intense hatred, this is going to be fun. Let’s see what’s going to come
up. I’m looking forward to it.
We returned to the inn after purchasing my ideal slave.

The girl from the Ice Wolf race I bought has a high total talent value and a perfect
distribution. I can tweak my own talent values’ distribution, but I can’t do it to others,
so this is a great help for me.

In addition, she has excellent skills and abilities, and she’s hiding the best talent
possible.

The fact that she’s a beautiful girl is also important. It makes the matter of increasing
her level limit all the easier. Men were out of the question from the start, but I would
also hesitate a bit if it was an ugly girl.

I laid her on the bed and took off her clothes. I’m not going to attack her yet, I’m just
going to take care of her.

I wiped her body using hot water and a cloth I had prepared. She must not have had
the opportunity to clean herself properly in the last few days. The cloth quickly
becomes darker and darker.

It also seems like she wasn’t able to eat anything nutritious, since she’s very skinny. I
have to feed her something good. If it continues like this, she’s going to lose a lot of
weight soon. I can’t get excited over skin and bones.

After I cleaned her, I dressed her again. I bought new clothes for her.

“Well, I should first heal her to the minimum she needs for recovery. Heal.”

I use Heal on the girl from the Ice Wolf race. I heal her external wounds and also
restore her fallen strength. At the same time, I also read her memories.
“Hou, I see. So this is what she wants. Rejoice, Setsuna. Your wish will come true.”

The reason I read her memories is to make it easier to negotiate when she wakes up.
If you know their memories, it’s easier to guide their thoughts. I’m sure of that. I’m
convinced I can make this girl seek me out of her own will.

I left her with the mysterious disease and minimum recovery. This is necessary for my
performance.

Now, let’s make her feel gratitude towards me.

I mixed a potion to cure the mysterious disease and a potion to restore her strength,
which is necessary for Setsuna’s recovery, and then I also added a special medicinal
porridge filled with nutritious ingredients. Then, I fed it all to her mouth to mouth,
since she is unconscious. She swallows it all.

Two days later, Freia and I were returning to the inn after an outing.

Today was the day of negotiating with the merchant I was selling the medicine to.

To my surprise, the negotiations went smoothly. I had expected that he would have
prepared a large number of mercenaries to wait at the rendezvous point to kidnap us
or use Freia as a hostage to try and get the secret of the medicine out of me. But my
fears turned out to be unfounded.

“I’m surprised. To think the merchant wouldn’t try anything.”

“Isn’t that fine? We got all this money anyway. If we live a modest life, we can make
this last for the rest of our lives.”

Freia was holding a small bag filled with 300 gold coins. The merchant paid 10 gold
coins for each potion. Not a bad price. He must believe he can sell it for twice that
amount.

300 gold coins is the equivalent of what a normal day worker earns in 25 years. It’s a
big deal to earn that much in a single day.
“It’s a lot for an ordinary person. But we’re on a journey to save the world, so this much
will end up being used in a magic sword and robe.”

The price of weapons enchanted with magic is exorbitant. Going for hundreds of gold
coins is a common enough sight.

In order to increase our survival chances, we need lightweight clothes with high
defenses. Considering this, 300 gold coins is not enough.

“We can just earn money again. It’s wonderful to be able to earn money while helping
people!”

I chuckle. Freia really thinks I can only make 30 potions a day.

I can make a lot more if I wanted to, but I chose to only make 30 a day to keep their
value high. In a way, I’m letting a life that could be saved die for my own benefit.

Well, that’s no need to say that out loud. After all, she thinks I’m a hero out to save the
world.

Now, let’s go see my other companion. I enter the room with the bed where Setsuna is
resting.

We both look at the Ice Wolf girl sleeping on the bed.

“She hasn’t woken up yet.”

“She was weakened.”

If it wasn’t for me, Setsuna could have died already. It’s been two whole days since we
brought her here and she still hasn’t woken up.

By adjusting Heal, I tried to make her wake up in just a few minutes. That’s the most
convenient time for my play. The negotiations with her will require a sense of urgency.

“I think she’ll wake up soon. Her strange disease is already cured.”

She’s currently going to the phase of healing her weakened body. Inside a pot, I put in
the potion and the grinded nourishing ingredients and then heat it up using alchemy.

Now, the potion with the strength-recovering porridge is ready. I put it in my mouth
to feed her mouth-to-mouth.

I’ve been doing this every day for the past two days. It’s the only way to feed a
bedridden person. Setsuna’s throat moves, and the potion with the strength-
recovering porridge is ingested.

Unusually, her white wolf-like ears are moving. Then, her ice blue eyes open.

“Nn?!”

She wakes up and lets out a surprised voice, then she slaps my cheek. I could have
dodged if I wanted to, but I decided to take it. I jumped back on my own accord and
made it look like I was injured.

Setsuna stared at me and opened her mouth.

“This man, what do to Setsuna?!”

She looks at me with cold eyes. She probably thought I assaulted her in her sleep. It’s
only natural she would think that.

“I could say the same to you! What a terrible thing you did!”

Freia’s light pink hair shakes as she’s furious.

“This man assaulted Setsuna. He’s the wrong.”

“That’s wrong! Keyaruga-sama was taking care of you. Even now, he was just giving
you a mouthful of food. It was a legitimate act of medical treatment for you who was
bedridden.”

It would be difficult for me to clear up the misunderstanding even if I explained

everything properly, but Freia, who is of the same sex and has the point of view of a
third party, can make things a lot more persuasive by showing her anger.

“That’s… lie.”
“It’s not a lie. For two days, while you were bedridden, he took care of you all this time.
Cleaning your body, preparing medicine for you to drink, and always helping you. And
this is how you repay him? I can believe this ingratitude!”

Freia spoke up at once and without pause. For the first time, the Ice Wolf girl observes
her body.

“It’s not painful, and body feels light.”

“It’s no wonder. After all, Keyaruga-sama has been feeding you porridge with lots of
nutrients and a specially made potion every day.”

Incidentally, the porridge sometimes contained monster meat. It was the meat that
was preserved and made into jerky from the monsters I’ve hunted in the journey with
Freia so far.

In order to increase the talent values of my new friends, I carry around some of the
meat from the monsters we’ve eaten.

Setsuna looked at me for a moment with worry on her face, then she bowed her head.

“Mistakenly thought you were assaulting me. Sorry for hitting you.”

“That’s alright, it’s understandable for you to think that. In any case, I’m glad you’re
feeling better. Let me introduce myself again, I’m Keyaruga.”

I give Setsuna a sweet smile, and all her caution disappears at once. She owes me for
hitting me, after all, and also for taking care of her for 2 whole days, to top it off I even
forgave her mistake. She’s completely under the impression that I’m a kind person.

“Setsuna is Setsuna. A proud Ice Wolf warrior.”

“That’s a good name. How about we shake hands now?”

I extend my hand and Setsuna grabs it and we shake hands. A perfect first greeting.

“Freia, can I ask you to buy something for dinner? I want to eat in our room tonight.
Please get some ready-made food with good flavor.”

“Certainly. To celebrate Setsuna-chan’s recovery, I’m going to be a bit extravagant,

Keyaruga-sama.”

“That’s fine. Also, make sure there’s a lot of meat.”

Since she’s like a wolf, Setsuna is probably going to enjoy it too.

“Understood. I’ll go buy something tasty.”

Freia said and then left the room.

Freia was instrumental in making me seem like a good person, but she would only be
a hindrance for what’s going to happen now.

It’s time to make Setsuna truly mine and only mine.

“Now then, Setsuna, I wonder if you understand the current situation.”

“…Un, understands. Keyaruga bought Setsuna and healed me, that’s why Setsuna
didn’t die.”

I laugh while clapping my hands, telling her it’s correct. Setsuna seemed troubled and
conflicted over something, and then she opened her mouth.

“Thank you for saving me. The Ice Wolf race is a race that always returns the favor it
receives, but Setsuna needs to go somewhere no matter what. So… sorry.”

In the next moment, Setsuna’s hand grows bigger. No, that’s wrong. She created a huge
claw of ice. She thrust her hand towards me, but she formed the claws in a way that
their ends are not sharp, so it seems she has no intention of killing me.

Now that’s interesting. This girl has recognized she owes me and even believes I’m a
good person, yet, she’ll use any means available to reach her objective. That’s good, I
like that.

But, unfortunately for Setsuna, she’s much too weak.

I dodge her outstretched hand, grab her arm and throw her with my spinning motion.
Her body slams on the bed and I take out the knife I had in my pocket and put it to her
throat.
“Did you not wonder why I took off your slave collar even though I don’t know your
True Name?”

“…Why?”

Normally, you would never remove the slave collar from a demi-human whose True
Name you don’t know.

“There is the fact that the slave collar is a hindrance for a demi-human’s treatment,
since it constantly torments them. But the main reason is that I’m much stronger than
Setsuna. That’s why I took it off, I don’t need it.”

By the way, I adjusted the timing when Setsuna would wake up using Heal. That’s why
I was able to meet with the merchant without any worries.

“Keyaruga is strong. Who are you?”

“Just a traveling Alchemist. In any case, you were kidnapped and made into a slave,
and now you’re being held down by a mere Alchemist. What can the weak Setsuna do
even if she leaves here?”

Setsuna keeps silent, she knows her own weakness and powerlessness.

I saw her past with Heal. She was born in the village of the Ice Wolves. On top of that,
she was born to the family known as the strongest Ice Wolf Warriors.

She was stronger than anyone her age and was called a genius. Her overwhelming high
talent values and the thick blood of the Ice Wolf King in her veins manifesting as a
unique skill and her genius fighting intuition can’t be shown in numbers. Truly an
existence blessed by the gods.

“You can’t answer? That’s because you know the truth, don’t you? No matter what you
say, you’ll just die in vain if you leave here. Setsuna is weak and can’t grow any
stronger, so you can’t do anything.”

Setsuna bites her lower lip. Tears start spilling from her eyes.

It was a year ago when something changed on the genius Setsuna. Suddenly, she could
no longer defeat people the same age as her.
It’s not that her fighting skills had lowered. In reality, her skills had improved more
than anyone else’s. She hadn’t neglected her training. As the daughter of the strongest
warrior, she tried fighting more monsters than anyone else.

She simply reached her level cap at only level 7. Her father, who wondered why she
wasn’t growing stronger no matter how many monsters she defeated, got an Appraisal
and found out the truth.

Still, at first, she tried to close the level gap with those around her by using her combat
skills, and she had some success. But the gap in levels only grew with time.

Finally, it became impossible to beat anyone. No matter how hard she tried or how
hard she worked.

No one expected anything from her anymore. The genius of the Ice Wolves became a
complete failure in one go.

Unable to give up, she continued fighting monsters and honing her skills.

She was given the task of patrolling the village. It was her job to make sure the humans
didn’t approach the village. It was seen as a job given to inferior warriors in the Ice
Wolf race.

Then, two weeks ago, a scouting party of humans arrived. They broke through the
barriers protecting the village and found out its location.

If these guys escaped, a large number of humans would come hoping to get many of
the rare and expensive slaves of the Ice Wolf race.

Three of the Ice Wolves went to fight the humans while one returned to warn the
village and ask for reinforcements.

The result was that all four were captured. One of them was killed miserably as an
example, and another one, trembling with fear, told them the secrets of the Ice Wolf
village. All three survivors were then sold into slavery.

After some time since they were made into slaves, the two other than Setsuna, who
were also afflicted with the strange disease, killed themselves by biting off their
tongues since they couldn’t endure the pain. The two that died were Setsuna’s friends.
But Setsuna’s friends wouldn’t be the only ones to die if things continued like this. The
village will be attacked in the not-too-distant future, and all the information needed
for that was given by the weak willed Ice Wolf.

Setsuna hates the people who captured them and send her friends to their death. The
humans who are going to attack the Ice Wolf village, where all the people important
to her are, are also going to create a tragedy.

And then there’s her weak and helpless self. If she were strong, she could have killed
all the humans and prevented the information from leaking. But, because she’s weak,
she put the Ice Wolf village in danger. She can’t forgive herself for that.

That’s why I’m going to give Setsuna a chance for revenge. A chance to kill the people
she hates as much as she wants, a chance to say goodbye to her weak self.

“Setsuna, why don’t we negotiate? But first, let me show you my Appraisal.”

I showed Setsuna, who was still being held down, my Appraisal. This is an Appraisal I
bought yesterday and prepared beforehand. The text starts from the name, and parts
of it would be falsified here and there. This paper is almost impossible to falsify, that’s
why it’s used for identification, but I can do it.

But I left the Hero Extra Class there without falsifying it. That’s why I showed it to
Setsuna.

“Level limit increase…”

The thing that Setsuna, who went from a genius to a failure, wanted more than
anything else was right there.

“Setsuna, about the Ice Wolf village, I’m sorry to say, but a large number of soldiers
from Jioral Kingdom have disguised themselves as mercenaries and are marching
towards it. If they’re quick, they’ll arrive by tomorrow. Even if you rush back to your
village, it’ll already be too late. There’s not even time to escape, the only choice is to
fight a desperate battle. Even if you add one weak Setsuna, that’s just one more Ice
Wolf to be enslaved. This is a legitimate army from the most powerful country in the
world, the Jioral Kingdom. The Ice Wolves will either die or become slaves.”

Ever since I saw her memories, I’ve been concerned about the Ice Wolf race and have
been looking into information on them. I found out that, in Jioral Kingdom’s military,
there exists a unit that poses as mercenaries and invades demi-human villages and
sells them as slaves here in Ranalitta to make money, and these guys are on the move.

No, I didn’t discover this. It was in the royal guard captain’s memories that I got when
I used Heal on him.

If you know that such a large army is moving, it’s easy to follow the trail of their
movement and also estimate their date and time of arrival.

“Why Jioral’s soldiers?”

“Soldiers are often idle for a considerable time. Using them to raid demi-human
villages is a good form of training to keep up shape and also a nice way to make money
on the side, as well as a good way to level up. This is one of the most important ways
to make money for Jioral.”

Setsuna’s face distorts with hatred. The country itself is trying to destroy the Ice
Wolves for money. That’s something that she, someone affected by this, cannot forgive.
Go on, hate them, resent them.

“Now, Setsuna, as you can see from the Appraisal, I’m strong. After all, I have the Sword
Saint skill and a high status. I’m a match for a whole army. Freia, who is not here now,
is also as strong as me. And I can make the weak Setsuna strong by increasing your
level limit. If we join forces, the Ice Wolves might be saved. And maybe Setsuna will
even become strong enough to kill the people you hate.”

Setsuna gulps. I think she’s starting to understand what I’m trying to say.

“What would it take for your help? Setsuna will do whatever it takes to become
stronger and protect everyone.”

I put away the knife that was pressed on Setsuna’s neck and stood up.

“There are two conditions for me to lend my help. The first is that you must give me
your True Name. You understand what that means, don’t you?”

“Understands. Setsuna will become a slave in the true sense of the word for the rest of
her life. That’s fine, but only after you save the village, otherwise don’t trust you.”

“Hou, I can say the same thing to you.”

“That’s… can do nothing but ask you to trust me.”

“I understand, I’ll trust you. I’ll have you show me the sincerity of the Ice Wolf race.”

I think it’s naive, but that naiveness is the chain that will bind our hearts. A True Name
can do nothing more than make a demi-humans obey orders. That’s not good enough,
you need to think for yourself and do what you can with all your power. If it’s not like
that, you’ll never grow or become stronger.

In order for that to happen, I have to grasp her heart tightly.

“The second condition is for you to become stronger. The level limit can be raised with
the body fluids of a Hero. Saliva and blood could work, but they’re terribly inefficient.
Semen is the best option.”

I said while pointing to my own crotch. It was very easy to notice my tent there.
Setsuna looked at it and gulped.

“Let me be clear, I want all of your talents except your level limit. For that reason, I will
kill the humans you hate and protect the Ice Wolf village. You have that much value,
but if you don’t plan to change how you are now then I don’t need you. To begin with,
Setsuna, do you want to stay the same? Not being able to do anything, despairing
because you’re weak.”

“Setsuna… Setsuna…”

Setsuna hesitates. I’m not giving her an order, but rather a chance to do something.

“This isn’t an order. Reach out your hand and change by your own will. Don’t hesitate.
This isn’t just my cock, it’s Setsuna’s future. Now choose: will you grab your future? Or
will you let it go?”

If she can’t choose to grab her future here, I’m sorry, but she’s not necessary. No matter
how good she may be, if she lacks the strength of heart, which is the most important
thing, then she’s useless to me.

Setsuna looks straight at my crotch.

“Setsuna wants to change. Become stronger to protect everyone. Want the strength to
kill everyone who kidnaps the Ice Wolves for money. That’s why…”
There was a strong determination in her expression. Even I found it beautiful.

“Setsuna will grab future.”

Out of her own will, she reached for my dick. She passed the test and grabbed her
future. Not by force, but by her own will. With this, she is qualified.

For the sake of my important companion, I’ll be slaughtering all the soldiers from
Jioral who are attacking the Ice Wolves. To be honest, I also don’t like them and want
to kill them. It’s also going to be fun to watch Freia kill the soldiers from her home.

Hmm, I was going to fight just for Setsuna, but it seems it’ll also be interesting for me
as well.

We’ll be on our way as soon as we raise her level limit. But first, there’s something she
has to do.

“I have seen Setsuna’s determination. Now, let’s get started. We don’t have much time.”

I take off my pants and Setsuna’s eyes widen in surprise when she sees the sight of my
dick out of my pants.

“What? First time seeing it?”

“Seen friends’ and father’s, but weren’t that big.”

So it’s her first time seen a man’s erect member.

“Then, first, gently grasp it.”

Setsuna nodded. Then, unlike before, she directly grasped my manhood. Her hand is
small, soft and warm. It makes me excited.

“What next?”

“It hasn’t grown to full size yet. Squeeze it gently and lick it.”

Setsuna did as she was told, moving her hand up and down. It’s a little cold because
she’s from the Ice Wolf race. She moves her hand gently as she flicks my cock.
“Good. Now put it in your mouth.”

“Nn.”

She nods shortly and puts my dick in her mouth. Her small mouth can’t hold it all
inside.

“Keep moving your head up and down.”

Setsuna moves her head slowly with tears in her eyes. She’s reserved, so there’s little
stimulation. I like the feeling of control, but this is frustrating.

I hold Setsuna’s head and shove my cock deep down her throat. Then, I force her to
move her head up and down.
Aah, this feels good. The pleasure from using her like an object is something else.

“Nn, mmm. Nn.”

Setsuna looks like she’s in a bit of pain, but she just has to endure a bit longer. I’m
about to cum.

I shove it all the way down Setsuna’s throat and release my semen there. When I pull
out, Setsuna chokes and spits out my semen. I imagine it’s not just because of the pain
and discomfort, but also from the disgust.

“Setsuna, you can’t just spit it out. That’s what’s going to break your level cap and make
you level up.”

“…Drink.”

Saying that, Setsuna scoops the cum around her mouth with her finger and then puts
it in her mouth to drink it. Next, she licks the cum that had spilled to the floor. The
sight of that was very lewd and arousing.

“With this, Setsuna will become stronger.”

The girl smiles with an enraptured face. I realized I hadn’t seen her smile before.

I want to have more fun with her.

“Just to be safe, I’ll give Setsuna more. I’ll pour it down below this time.”

“Means Setsuna and…”

“Let’s have sex. It’s okay if you want to say no. It’ll only slightly lower the odds of you
getting stronger.”

“Please, give Setsuna Keyaruga-sama’s thing.”

She didn’t even hesitate for a moment. She’s ready.”

“Take off your clothes.”

Setsuna takes off her clothes and becomes fully naked. Her body is immature, but firm
and beautiful. Setsuna blushes, looks away, and covers her breasts and pussy with her
hands.

I approach her and insert my finger into her vulva. It’s hard. She probably never
touched herself. There’s also no hair. I find a point that seems pleasurable for her and
play with it.

Setsuna has been letting out some heavy breathing since a while ago. That’s because
of a slight pain. It takes time for a woman’s pain to turn into pleasure.

…That’s right, I have something good for this. It just so happened I’ve been trying to
make a potion for such circumstances.

I pulled my finger out of Setsuna. There was a little bit of love juice on it. I lick it, it
tastes good.

I take out the potion from my bag. I pour a lot of it on my hand. The slimy thick mucus
sticks to my hand.

I push Setsuna down to the bed and then put my finger in her again.

“Hyaa! What’s that? Setsuna’s there, hot.”

“Don’t worry, you’ll start feeling good soon.”

Setsuna’s vagina starts getting softer and hotter. It wasn’t just the potion, Setsuna’s
own love juices were starting to wet herself.

I want Setsuna to feel good. The only people I’m happy to hurt are my targets of
revenge.

“Hyah! This, don’t know this. Setsuna, scared.”

She’s starting to feel it a lot more. I increased the number of fingers from one to two.

“Setsuna’s… something strange, coming!”

Setsuna arched her body and her whole body started convulsing. She even lost
consciousness for a brief moment. When Setsuna came back to her senses, her face
flushed, but her eyes were open wide in bewilderment over her first time tasting the
pleasure of being a woman.

So cute. I rolled my tongue over the pink colored tips of her breasts and then I
massaged her cute wolf tail while letting out a hot breath.

“Setsuna, can you stand?”

“Un, somehow.”

I make Setsuna stand up and put her hands against the wall.

Setsuna’s lower mouth was twitching, calling for a man. I couldn’t believe it was the
same place that was shut tight until just now.

I put my male member into place and shove it in at once. Blood comes out of our
junction.

“H-hot, something hot, deep inside, coming.”

Despite that, Setsuna was getting pleasure, not pain. I began shaking my hips. It was
still very tight, but it felt nice while her hot and undulating pussy squeezed me tightly.

“Good, this feels good. This is amazing, Setsuna. I’ve never felt anything like this!”

Setsuna moans with each thrust of my hips. This made me even more excited.

I’ve never fucked a pussy like Setsuna’s. I didn’t expect it to be this good.

The wolf tail was wagging in front of me. I was curious, so I decided to grab it and
Setsuna screamed. I guess the tail is also an erogenous zone.

I’m going to spoil her as much as I can. Since Setsuna could no longer stand, I picked
her up and continued to have sex with her.

Aah! I’m at my limit. Setsuna came again. Her whole body is convulsing and tightening
up more than before. That felt so good I couldn’t help but cum as well. I made sure to
pour everything I had into the deepest part of Setsuna.

“Haa, haa, Keyaruga-sama, with this, Setsuna became stronger?”

“Without a doubt, your level limit has increased. Even your level itself has gone up. I
can see it with my eye.”

When I look at her with my Jade Eye, I see that not only the level limit has increased,
but she has also leveled up. The experience she has accumulated so far probably
turned into a new level as soon as her level limit went up.

“True, Setsuna feels it. Power growing. Been a really long time since grown stronger.
From now on, grow even stronger… to kill those people.”

Setsuna cried. Her face became filled with tears, and then she showed me a smile. It’s
a good smile, enough to send shivers down my spine.

After that, Setsuna fainted.

She reached her limit. Her sleeping face was incredibly peaceful. I love this Setsuna.
She belongs to me, and I’ll never give her to anyone else. I would do anything to make
her mine, this girl is worth it.
Now that I was alone, I was thinking about Setsuna.

The slave I bought… a beautiful girl of the Ice Wolf race, with white hair, skin, wolf
ears, tail and everything else.

I asked Setsuna a question. The question was whether she would grasp her future.

She had the courage to seize her future of her own volition. So I decided to help
Setsuna take revenge and protect her friends.

Tomorrow, we will go to the Ice Wolves’ village, which is being targeted by humans, to
rescue them.

Today, we’re working on raising her level limit. Setsuna was unable to become
stronger due to the absolute barrier that is the level limit. I’ll give Setsuna wings in
order to overcome this wall. Those wings will be, of course, a Hero’s power.

Of course, the person herself helped with that. She did her best, albeit clumsy, to
become stronger.

I would like to increase her level limit by a bunch at once, but it won’t succeed as easily
once the concentration of my semen drops.

Strangely enough, although Heal has no problem restoring strength and even changing
one’s appearance, it seems that it can’t restore vitality.

So, exactly once every four hours, a total of three times, I raise Setsuna’s level limit.
But still I’m surprised, every time I increase her level limit, Setsuna levels up. This
repeated itself all three times.
How long had she been fighting and defeating monsters without gaining levels? Her
body had accumulated a tremendous amount of experience. Every time her level is
raised, that experience becomes part of her flesh and blood.

The moment Setsuna’s level increased, her face crumpled up and she cried. She knew
the unique sensation from when your level increases. She must have been really
happy.

Setsuna laughed while saying she could now kill the people who had kidnapped her
friends, who had just been patrolling their homes, and taken them to their deaths.

I don’t dislike girls who work hard, so I’ll do my best to help her.

Early in the morning, I left the inn and bought a raptor in town.

A raptor is a useful monster for riding. They’re bipedal reptiles with a bit of a rough
temperament, but they’re stronger and faster than horses. However, a lot of training
is needed to ride one.

But I have Imitation Heal. All I had to do was swap out one of my skills for the Riding
skill. I’ve already used Imitation Heal on enough knights to be sick of it.

I’ve caught traces of the movements of the knights disguised as mercenaries last night
during a little solo reconnaissance trip outside the inn while I was waiting to perform
my heroic duties with Setsuna again.

The size of the group was about 200 people. And, considering the location of the Ice
Wolf village that Setsuna told me about, they should be arriving there this evening.

“Freia, Setsuna, let’s go.”

Yesterday, I told them we were going to save the Ice Wolf village.

I told them how the Jioral soldiers were raiding demi-human villages under the
kingdom’s orders to gain money from selling them into slavery. Freia was outraged
hearing the evil deeds of the treacherous Jioral army and declared that she would use
her power to help the Ice Wolves.
She said something like…

“It’s horrible that they’re playing with people’s lives for money. Someone who does
that kind of thing isn’t even human anymore, they’re just monsters. So I have no reason
to hesitate in defeating those people.”

I was struggling to hold back my laughter.

Freia, who until the other day was princess Flare, number 2 in Jioral’s pecking order,
was legitimately angry. Well, if she’s going to say that much I’ll let her help as well.

Just to be safe, I got her a hat and mask that completely hid her face and hair.

Even though they’re disguised as mercenaries, we’ll be going up against Jioral’s army.
If they see Freia, things are probably going to get troublesome.

Since they won’t be able to say we’re interfering in their attack on a demi-human
village, they’re probably going to make up some other story and put us on a wanted
list. That’s why a disguise is necessary.

I straddle the raptor. Setsuna’s small body is tucked between me and the reins. Freia
hugs me from behind.

“Setsuna, there’s a secret path, right?”

“Un. That’s the only thing Yumuran didn’t talk about.”

Yumuran is the name of the man who was captured and revealed the secrets of the Ice
Wolf race.

I hit the raptor with a whip. It breaks into a run, going as fast as it can.

Even a monster would get tired after going at this pace for about 10 minutes, but I
have Heal. That makes it possible for me to make it always run at full speed while
recovering its strength.

Taking that into consideration, I arrived at the conclusion that, if we left in the
morning, we would arrive on time.

“Wow, Keyaruga-sama, this raptor is fast. Much faster than a horse.”

“Surprised. Setsuna is faster than horse, but can’t beat this.”

Freia and Setsuna both let out voices of admiration. A monster’s physical ability is
beyond common sense. And it can achieve this much speed with the help of the Riding
skill.

“Be careful not to bite your tongue. And hold on to me properly, if you fall off you’re
going to get hurt.”

The two of them clung to me tightly. Setsuna is a cool beautiful girl with wolf ears.
Freia is a beautiful girl with unquestionable style. This could be an interesting benefit.

While riding, I think about what to do. The Jioral Kingdom has dispatched 200 men
this time. If it’s just 200, I can win if I give it my all, but what would be the point of
that?

If 200 isn’t enough, they’ll come back with double that amount. If that’s not enough,
they’ll bring even more. One day, I’ll definitely fail in protecting the Ice Wolves, since
those guys won’t let it end with their defeat. They have a lot of self-esteem, I’ll give
them that.

That’s why I need to find a way to settle things. I’m going to get Setsuna’s everything,
in exchange, I’m going to let her get revenge and I’ll also protect the Ice Wolves.

Now, what shall I do to fulfill this difficult task? I’ll need to figure out the answer to
that question.

We took a detour to pass through the secret path, and because of that we arrived At
the Ice Wolf village just before the battle began.

Before entering the village, we hid in the trees of the forest to see what was happening.
I strengthened my eyesight by using my Jade Eye, and Setsuna can see things from a
great distance because her vision is just that good.

Jioral Kingdom’s soldiers, disguised as mercenaries, have already arrived at the

village. They have set up camp and are preparing something. The Ice Wolves were
watching the soldiers from the stone and mud walls that are protecting the village.
“My bad, looks like the Jioral soldiers arrived faster than expected.”

“…Battle hasn’t started. Barely made it in time.”

Setsuna gives me a short response to my apology.

“The Ice Wolves’ defenses are surprisingly strong.”

The defensive wall protecting the Ice Wolves’ village surprised me. At first, it looks like
it’s just stone and mud, but it also works as a barrier using feng shui magic. It’s also
extremely powerful, using blood as a medium.

With this, they can probably survive as long as they stay in their village.

“Ice Wolves been targeted by many races in the past, so become good at defensive
barriers.”

According to Setsuna, there are two underground passages that pass through the
defensive barrier. One of those was divulged by Setsuna’s friends to the kingdom’s
soldiers.

But the passage is narrow and they have no choice but to walk in a single line
formation, so it would be easy to protect against them.

Maybe there was no need for me to come. When I thought that, something happened.

Something appeared from the position the Jioral soldiers were holding. Five men and
women, all of them Ice Wolves.

They were stripped naked, had slave collars put on them, were made to crawl on all
fours like dogs and were brought in front of the soldiers. At that point, I already knew
what was going to happen.

I see. That really is Jioral Kingdom’s style. Even at times like these, they’re the worst
kind of people.

The soldiers showed themselves torturing the men and raping the women to the other
Ice Wolves inside the protective wall.

Setsuna’s eyes widen and she tried to jump out, but I put my hand over her mouth and
held her in place.

What they’re trying to do is very simple: it’s hard to do anything with the Ice Wolves
holed up in their village. So they just have to make the Ice Wolves themselves open the
door.

They’re waiting for the Ice Wolves to come out to try and save their friends. When the
screams aren’t loud enough, the soldiers stab them with their swords, pour alcohol on
them and set them on fire. The scream of the Ice Wolves echo through the air.

The Ice Wolves inside the wall are starting to get restless. It’s about time for the more
hot-blooded ones to jump out.

I hate it. Why do my worst predictions always turn out to be true?

Looking at Setsuna, her hatred was swelling to the limit. I don’t want to make her
endure any longer, but if I allowed her to recklessly charge in now she would surely
die.

That’s why…

“Setsuna, listen to me. If you jump out now, you’ll die.”

“Nn, nn.”

As if saying she already knows that, she continues to struggle.

“But I don’t plan to tell you to just sit back twiddling your thumbs. I know that would
be worse than death.”

Putting myself in Setsuna’s shoes, if I were made to watch my friends get toyed with
while the people doing it are getting away with it is something I’d definitely hate.
There’s no way I could endure such a thing, and it’s the same for her.

“I’m going there to create a situation that’s safe for you to jump out. I’ll lower their
numbers so you can get your revenge. So give me five minutes. Can you do that?”

Setsuna became quiet, and then she nodded with tear-stained eyes.

That’s it, good girl.

And there doesn’t seem like there’s much time. The Ice Wolves have opened their
barrier. With a shout, the young men are running out.

They have ice claws on their hands, like Setsuna had yesterday.

I’m sure they intended to get back inside after rescuing their companions, but they
were too naive.

As if just waiting for their chance, fire magic and arrows started raining down. In the
blink of an eye, the Ice Wolves who had jumped out were either killed or seriously
injured.

It would still be fine if the other Ice Wolves immediately closed the gate, but they
hesitated. That hesitation was fatal. The soldiers shout while closing in on the gate.
They weren’t able to close it in time, and now the gate is being held open by the
soldiers.

It was an amazing performance. As expected of the soldiers from Jioral Kingdom,

they’re used to these kinds of tactics.

I look at Setsuna, who hasn’t screamed. She was just glaring at the kingdom’s soldiers
with eyes filled with hatred.

She was able to wait properly. Good girl, good girl.

“Now, I guess I should go.”

With all my might, I’ll create the stage for Setsuna’s revenge.

But it’s no fun to just hide my presence and take them out. Wait, I’ve got a good idea.

I hide my face with a mask and leap out of the forest while holding my sword. Then, I
shouted. I even used magic to amplify my voice so it could be heard in the distance.

“I am the Sword Hero! My sword is the sword of justice, and in the name of justice, I’ll
cut down these cruel people who are attacking this innocent demi-human village!”

I’ll harass them a little. With the Sword Saint’s abilities, I should be able to make a
good Sword Hero.
Now, it’s the first time in this world where I have to get serious. Even though it’s this
kind of situation, let’s have fun.
While wielding my sword, I charge into the enemy camp. I had just declared that I was
the Sword Hero and that I would wield my sword as an ally of justice to protect the
innocent demi-humans.

I have two reasons for doing that:

The first is to sway the enemy. A Hero is a symbol of justice. If the kingdom’s soldiers
are judged to be evil by a Hero, they will hesitate and create an opening for me.
Furthermore, a Hero is an important resource, so they’ll want to avoid killing me if
possible. Capture him without killing him. The moment they think that, their actions
will be naturally restricted. I plan to take advantage of this opportunity.

The second objective is to lure the Sword Hero. If she’s following the same path as last
time, then it should still be quite a while before she’s invited by the royal family. She
used to be an adventurer in a different country, but she was lured to Jioral Kingdom
after hearing of the kingdom’s deceptive sense of justice and falling in love with
princess Flare. If she figures out a counterfeit Sword Hero has appeared, it’s possible
her arrival will be hastened. This way, I can have my revenge faster… and it’s also a
way to annoy her a little.

So, to summarize the situation…

I’m on an open road made inside a forest. Ahead of me are 200 of Jioral Kingdom’s
soldiers that are disguised as mercenaries. About 200 meters ahead is the Ice Wolf
village that is protected by a wall.

The first priority is to protect the gate that’s about to be breached. If the gate is held
down, then the Ice Wolf village will be destroyed in seconds. I want to avoid that.

The gate must be protected. Right now, the priority is speed. So what I need now is…
“Transformation Heal.”

I redistribute my talent values to focus mostly on speed.

Race: Human

Name: Keyaru

Class: Healer / Hero

Level: 34

Status:

MP: 114/114

Physical Attack: 60

Physical Defense: 62

Magical Attack: 73

Magical Defense: 41

Speed: 140

Level Limit: ∞

Talent Values:

MP: 80

Physical Attack: 132 → 80

Physical Defense: 83 → 83

Magical Attack: 100 → 100

Magical Defense: 72 → 52
Speed: 126 → 198

Total Talent Value: 593

The two things I shaved off to increase my speed were my physical attack and magic
defense.

I don’t need much magical defense because, as long as I jump right in the middle of the
enemy like this, they won’t be able to easily use magic attacks because they’re afraid
of involving their allies.

And the physical attack could be lowered because…

“Shii-!”

Because I’m using the swordsmanship of the Sword Saint.

The swordsmanship of the Clyret family, which continues to produce Sword Saints,
has been refined through tens of thousands of actual battles and is based on the
Auclair* school of sword fighting. This sword isn’t meant for spectacles or games, it’s
a killer sword that pursues efficiency.

The secret sword, Blood Flower, is released.

The kingdom’s soldiers are disguised as mercenaries and aren’t wearing armor. In
other words, their vital points are in full view.

While running through them with all my might, I gently slice the necks and wrists of
the kingdom’s soldiers with my sword.

Without a moment’s pause and with a speed that transcends human knowledge, I run
through the crowd of enemies towards the Ice Wolves’ defensive wall. After I pass
through, a fountain of blood erupts from the kingdom’s soldiers.

At that time, the soldiers finally start to make a commotion.

“W-what the hell is this?!”

“Hii, hiiii!”
“What in the world is happening?!”

This technique is useful. Normally, when you’re using a sword, you have to step on the
ground and concentrate all your strength on your sword and swing it. A powerful
sword like that has the power to slice through armor, but it also stops you from moving
and consumes all your energy.

However, this Blood Flower is different.

It aims at the opponent’s soft arteries, so just a light slice is enough. It ends people’s
lives as I run through them. This is a swordsmanship that makes the most of both
speed and softness of the wrist.

Flowers of blood bloomed all around. And it also has the effect of making the enemy
even more uneasy.

“Human life is really fleeting, isn’t it?”

Magic power is quantified as MP. But life itself isn’t shown in the status. That’s obvious,
because humans are easy to kill. A person can be easily killed just by bleeding for too
long, separating the head from the torso, or just by depriving them of oxygen for long
enough.

In that case, it’s best to destroy them efficiently.

In addition, the Sword Saint has a certain ability called Abandonment. It’s the best
presence detection ability. It’s possible to completely grasp all the movements in the
surrounding area, and it’s also possible to have a reaction that is beyond human
capabilities.

I can see everything. That’s why I reap down many lives with Blood Flower while
running through narrow gaps to take the most optimized route.

“I’ve arrived.”

I smile a little. The distraction caused by me claiming to be a Hero and declaring that
I was on the side of justice lasted only 10 seconds. In that short time, I was able to
break through the center of the enemy line.

The extreme speed I obtained with Transformation Heal and the swordsmanship of
the Sword Saint. It’s those two things that allowed me to do that.

The enemy is disguised as mercenaries and there are no monsters that are outside a
human’s standard in the group. Thanks to that, I’m able to rampage to my heart’s
content.

When I cut off the necks of several soldiers who were reaching for the gate that the Ice
Wolves were trying to protect, I came eye to eye with an Ice Wolf guard.

They were frightened. From their point of view, I’m an enemy with overwhelming
power. I should tell them who I am.

“Listen, Ice Wolf warriors. I am the Sword Hero. I have come in response to the tears
and wishes of Setsuna, an Ice Wolf girl from this village. Seeing the evilness of these
humans, I have decided to join your side in this fight.”

The Ice Wolves were surprised. Pretending to not notice that, I turned my back to them
and faced the kingdom’s soldiers.

“I will declare it once again. I will carry out justice. Your barbaric actions are
inexcusable. You are no longer humans, just mere monsters. Therefore, I will not
hesitate. You all will become the rust on my sword.”

Aah, this is getting fun. I think I’m getting drunk on blood.

The kingdom’s soldiers have finally ended their hesitation. It seems they’ve given up
on capturing me and are simply going to try and kill me. The mages on the back lines
are casting their magic and the archers are knocking their arrows.

I’m no longer in the middle of them, so I guess they don’t have to hesitate about using
arrows or magic.

“You, Ice Wolf over there, quickly close this gate.”

Even though I just cleared all the soldiers who were trying to hold open the gate, the
Ice Wolf men haven’t yet closed it.

“B-but the Sword Hero and the people outside…”

“Don’t worry about me. And give up on those who are outside, you can’t save them.”
After I said that much, the Ice Wolf men finally started closing the gate.

Fuu, at least that’s taken care of. As soon as I let out a breath, flames and arrows started
raining down.

As expected, it’s impossible to dodge all the flames and arrows spread over such a
wide area. That’s why I’ll put up my shield.

My shield is one of the kingdom’s soldiers who is just barely alive after losing most of
his blood.

The enemy attacks from the back, making their projectiles fly up on an arc as if going
up a mountain to make sure they won’t hit their allies. But in summary, it’s fine as long
as I put my shield up.

“Gyaaaaaaa!”

As the flames and arrows rained down, my shield screamed. The kingdom’s soldiers
are looking at me as if scoffing me.

Fool, with this much fire magic, that meat shield will burn down in an instant. It’s no
protection at all. I’m pretty sure that’s what they’re thinking.

And it is true, I have to agree. But…

When the flames cleared, both me and my shield were alive and well. Well, my shield
is still bleeding from all the arrows that pierced its body, but I don’t need it anymore,
so I’ll just throw it away.

I also threw two gunpowder spheres that I took from the pit of my stomach. They
exploded in the skies above the mages and arches, who were at the rear of the enemy
formation, and colored flames scattered.

That wasn’t an attack, it was a signal.

A few seconds later, a huge mass of flames, incomparable to what the kingdom’s mages
were capable of, falls on them and consumes all of them.

“Aaa, Flare, you’ve finally done it. You killed your own soldiers. Well, I’m the one who
made you do it though.”
As expected of a spell from Flare, the Magic Hero. The power and accuracy are nothing
but the best. This magic can no longer be classified as single-target or area magic, it
should be classified as strategic magic.

“Now then, the annoying guys at the back have been dealt with. It’s time to charge.”

I grab my sword again and charge forward. The soldiers scream.

First of all, the reason why my meat shield was able to withstand the attack. That’s
easy, because I used Heal on it while blocking the attacks. As long as I healed it before
it burned out, the shield wouldn’t break. It was very helpful in its job.

As for the gunpowder I threw, it was to show a location to Freia. The magic Freia used
was the highest rank of magic a human can use, Rank 5 magic, Meteor.

It’s a strategic magic with a range of 400 meters. There are probably not more than 10
people in this country who can use it.

From the start, I told Freia to act separately. I instructed her to keep watch a few
hundred meters away from here and shoot a Meteor at my mark. Since I couldn’t afford
to give Freia an escort, I had to put her far enough away that neither magic nor arrows
could reach her. At such a super long distance, only strategic magic can be used.

Freia could use up to Rank 6 magic, which is beyond human reach, but that would be
completely excessive and, at the moment she used it, she would be recognized as
princess Flare. Even with all those limitations, her power is still tremendous. As one
would expect, Freia’s value as an asset is very high. And what’s more…

“It’s a good way to gain experience.”

There is such a thing as a Party, which can have up to four people in it. The most
important thing to remember about it is that the experience gained by the people in a
Party will be divided equally, calculated by a special formula.

Right now, the three of us, me, Freia and Setsuna are forming a Party.

In addition, the Hero’s skill that doubles experience is stacked because of me and
Freia, making us earn four times as much.

Basically, leveling up is usually done by fighting monsters, but you can gain experience
from killing anything that’s alive according to its’ strength. Humans are no exception.

So what happens if you wipe out the enemy with a strategic magic like Meteor in a
situation like this? The answer is simple.

“My blood’s boiling.”

A rapid rise in levels. The average level of the kingdom’s soldiers is high. There aren’t
many hunting grounds as good as this.

My movement accelerates even more. My power grows even stronger. I run around
the enemies in every direction. Occasionally, I would throw more gunpowder spheres
at the back of the enemy formation to have my Flare get rid of the more annoying ones
with her ultra-long-range magic.

At this point, it’s basically a massacre.

The enemy soldiers, who numbered more than 200 at the start, are rapidly dwindling
in numbers.

“What the hell is this guy?!”

“Surround him! Surround him!”

“No way, he’s too fast!”

“Oi, this guy, I can’t even see him anymore. Is he really human?”

“Does he not get tired?!”

In a situation of fighting multiple enemies at once, what you absolutely have to avoid
is having your escape route blocked and being attacked from many directions at once.

The average swordsman would stop and pull power from his hips to deliver a heavy
blow. But that would lead to an unavoidable situation of being surrounded and
attacked from all sides.

But I’m not an average swordsman. I haven’t stopped for a moment since a while ago.
I’ve been securing my escape routes while running as fast as I can and slashing off
arteries as I pass by.
I have plenty of experience fighting a great number of enemies. I would never be
foolish enough to lose my escape route.

But, even if you take care of all those things, there’s one thing you can’t control, and
that’s physical exhaustion. No matter how hard you work out, everyone eventually
runs out of breath and their arms and legs stop because of fatigue.

But I have Heal. I can heal any kind of wound and even deal with lost stamina like this.
And, if I have the chance, I can even make up for the lost magic power with Looting
Heal.

An ultra-fast perpetual motion machine, that’s my fighting style.

“Hii, hii, d-don’t come. Put away your sword or this Ice Wolf woman will die because
of you.”

One of the soldiers put his sword to the throat of an Ice Wolf woman that they used to
lure out the Ice Wolves from the village. I ran next to him with my super-speed and
stroked his neck with my sword.

This guy was an idiot, hostages are useless against me. If I die, the entire Ice Wolf race
behind me will become toys for the humans. My life is the first priority.

That said, it’s not good for my mental health to abandon the Ice Wolf woman. If they’re
lucky, my actions will save their lives. Whether they survive or not is up to them.

Well, that should be enough. I’ve killed over half of the enemy forces. The survivors
have lost their will to fight and are running away. I’ve run out of gunpowder and Freia
is probably out of MP by now.

It’s time to grant Setsuna’s wish. That’s what this was all about to begin with.

“Setsuna, you’ve endured well. You’re the star from here on out. Leave your back to
me.”

I shout and Setsuna, the Ice Wolf girl who had been hiding in the forest, leaps out. On
both her hands are claws made of ice, that’s the fighting style of the Ice Wolves.

Setsuna has only gained three levels. Her abnormally high talent values and her
outstanding skills and abilities. The unquantifiable techniques she has accumulated
until now. Her natural combat instinct.

Even taking all that into consideration, she is, at best, as strong as the soldiers here.
Her level is still only 10.

But now most of the enemies have fallen and their will to fight is broken. As long as I
stay by her side, she can continue to fight to her heart’s content.

I continue to fight while putting power into my Jade Eye to check if there are any
soldiers Setsuna can’t handle. I always make sure to set up a situation where she can
fight one-on-one.

“…”

Setsuna was crying. At the same time, she continued swinging her ice claws. Each time
she did so, the life of a kingdom’s soldier was forfeit.

She was now carrying out her revenge in full. I’m glad she’s happy. After all, this whole
battle is for Setsuna’s sake.

My revenge has an aesthetic sense. I don’t harm those that don’t harm me. But this
isn’t my revenge, it’s Setsuna. This is Setsuna’s revenge against those who enslaved
her, send her friends to their deaths, and are now trying to create more tragedies.
That means I can wield my full strength.

Maybe some of these soldiers are forced to commit these atrocities. But that doesn’t
matter to me. If they don’t like it, they can just run away. I have no sympathy for those
who are voluntarily choosing to slaughter and enslave the Ice Wolves.

“This country is shit. I better put an end to it.”

I also had another intention with this. After a while since Freia had her memories
erased, I was confused. I can’t see the ugliness of princess Flare in her. That made me
realize the truth.

I thought my revenge ended with Flare as an individual, but I was wrong. This country
created princess Flare. I should take revenge not just on princess Flare for what she
did to me, but also on Jioral Kingdom itself, who made her the way she was.

Even without princess Flare, this kingdom will still try to harm me again like the first
time. They can produce as many replacements for Flare as they want. So, if I want to
exterminate the pests, I have to destroy the thing that gives birth to them.

But simply destroying Jioral Kingdom is no fun. From now on, I’ll reach out my hand
to those who hate Jioral Kingdom, and eventually, we’ll put an end to this kingdom.
That will be my true revenge.

While I was thinking that, I heard a wolf howl.

“Setsuna, it seems the Ice Wolves really don’t like humans.”

“Obvious. Not many big attacks like this, but many Ice Wolves like me were kidnapped
and turned playthings after leaving the forest.”

Finally, the Ice Wolves opened the gate and came out like an avalanche. The kingdom’s
soldiers can no longer stop them. The tide of the battle has been set, and it’s a one-
way slaughter by the Ice Wolves.

As if to let out all their anger and resentment, the Ice Wolves attacked the soldiers, not
caring about anything else.

Before I knew it, Setsuna and I had stopped. There was no need for us to fight anymore.
We simply stood and watched the Ice Wolves’ fury.
“Setsuna, I did what you wanted. I killed the humans you hated, and you also killed a
lot yourself. How do you feel?”

Setsuna looked up at me, tears swelling up in her eyes. I want to know. I want to know
what she’ll look like and what she’ll think when she achieves her revenge. That’s why
I did all this.

“Enjoyed it a lot, very happy, but… no, nothing.”

She gives out a small laugh. Then, she runs forward while pointing her ice claws at the
soldiers again.

The battle ended with an overwhelming victory for the Ice Wolf race.

The humans either died or fled. There were no prisoners. Some soldiers surrendered,
but the Ice Wolves killed them all.

I was invited into the village with Setsuna. Since I told them I came because of
Setsuna’s call, they treated both me and Setsuna as heroes.

At any rate, my promise to Setsuna is now completed. With this, Setsuna is mine. I
should ask for her True Name immediately.

And there’s also something else I need to tell her. I’m looking forward to Setsuna’s
reaction when I tell her that.

*TN: Original オークレール. Idletranslations put it as Oakrule.

However, in Cheat Magic (https://www.novelupdates.com/series/cheat-majutsu-de-

unmei-wo-nejifuseru-wn/), these same katakana show up as the surname of the
character Annelotta Auclair (アンネロッタ・オークレール).

The Auclair family is described as “the kingdom’s sword and the royal family’s sword
instructor” which is why I opted to leave it as their name. Also, Anne has basically the
same physical description as Kureha, and we learn in later volumes that Kureha is a
descendant of the ancient hero Souji.

In summary, Kureha is Anne and Souji’s descendant, so it makes sense that the Auclair
school is the base for the Clyret style.
The battle was over. The Jioral Kingdom’s ambition of attacking the Ice Wolf village to
make their soldiers gain experience and sell the captured Ice Wolves in Ranalitta for
money has been foiled.

After that, I called Freia back from her little solo mission. So the three of us, me,
Setsuna and Freia, entered the Ice Wolf village.

Freia and I received a warm welcome and we were treated as heroes despite being
humans. The Ice Wolves expressed words of gratitude and pushed jewels and food
onto us.

It was a little surprising. I expected them to thank me, but to say they still hate me
because I’m human.

Once the welcome was over, a man stepped forward from the crowd.

“Setsuna, you’ve returned, and even brought the Sword Hero with you. I’m so proud
of you.”

Apparently, that’s Setsuna’s father.

“Father, Setsuna…”

“I was completely astonished when I heard you were kidnapped. I thought you could
at least patrol the area, but… as I thought, it’s impossible for you to be a warrior. Don’t
fight anymore. Find a husband, have children, and protect your home.”

Setsuna’s father hugged her tightly. But these words were not what she wanted to hear.

First of all, she belongs to me now. Even if it’s her father, I won’t let him just decide on
her future like that.

“It’s not impossible. She has talent. If she wants, she can be stronger than anyone else.
I guarantee it.”

I interrupted the father-daughter conversation. Setsuna looked at me. I feel a little bad
for tearing them apart after they just met again, but Setsuna is a necessary resource
for me.

“Father, Setsuna go with this man. Leave the Ice Wolf village, travel many places and
become stronger. So today is goodbye.”

Setsuna declared that while looking into her father’s eyes. That’s not the selfishness
of a child. I could see the determination to stand on her own as an adult.

What’s strange is that Setsuna seems to want to be with me from the bottom of her
heart, not because of a contract or because she has no choice.

“…I see. I won’t stop you if that’s the path you’ve chosen. Sword Hero-sama, do you
really believe Setsuna has talent? If it’s a Hero’s journey, it’s sure to be full of dangers.
Can I trust that Setsuna is strong and qualified enough to keep up?”

It’s normal for a parent to worry about their child. But his point of concern is if Setsuna
is strong enough? It must be the Ice Wolves’ unique way of thinking.

“Of course. With me, she’ll be stronger than anyone else. There’s no doubt about that.”

All she lacks are levels. But that barrier has been removed from the moment she
grasped her future.

“In that case, I have nothing more to say as her father. Please take care of Setsuna…
and take this as well.”

Setsuna’s father gave me a necklace with a blue jewel on it. I feel a strong magic power
from it. This is a high-grade magic tool, and probably worth several hundred gold
coins.

“What is this?”

“It’s our family heirloom. I planned to give this to Setsuna’s husband when she got
married. I’ll leave it to you.”

Well, I’ll take it if you’re giving it to me. It has the effect of increasing magic power, and
it’s not a bad thing to have.

Setsuna’s father then went into great detail about what she liked and disliked, what
she wasn’t good at and all the gestures she made when she was trying to act tough to
hide her bad condition.

With all that, I had to properly recognize him as her father. She is loved. If she were to
stay in this village, she would live a peaceful life under her father’s protection and she
would eventually find a husband. But, the moment she decided to take revenge, she
chose to walk this blood-soaked path with me. Maybe that was unfortunate for her.

After that, I parted with him and was invited to the house of the Ice Wolf chief.

“I would like to offer thanks for saving our village and our people.”

As soon as I was shown to the guest room, an elderly man, who appeared to be the Ice
Wolf chief, bowed his head.

“If you want to thank someone, thank Setsuna here. It was her wish that brought me
here.”

“Is that so? Still, I offer my thanks to you. And to you as well, Setsuna.”

Setsuna also bows her head. Now, I should also give them a little piece of advice. Jioral
Kingdom values its pride quite a lot. There’s no way they’ll let their attack at a demi-
human village end with their defeat.

If nothing is done, the Ice Wolves will be destroyed. While I was thinking of a way to
bridge the conversation, the Ice Wolf chief opened his mouth.

“Sword Hero-sama, we have decided to abandon this village. We will leave this village
behind and head for the land of the elves and Fire Foxes beyond the mountains*. They
will accept us there.”
“That’s a wise decision. As long as you stay here, it’s only a matter of time before you’re
attacked again.”

“Yes, the Ice Wolves are a proud race that have long survived on our own strength. But
it’s time to move on. If this continues, we’ll be eradicated.”

It seems there was no need for my advice. They already have a firm grasp of their
current situation. The Ice Wolves seem to be a race with a sense for crisis.

“About that, could the Sword Hero-sama accompany us? If we have your sword skill,
our journey will be peaceful. Besides, Setsuna seems to have taken a liking to you. Why
not take her as a wife and lead a peaceful life? Of course, we’ll also give the best
treatment we can.”

I shake my head quietly. I felt someone’s eyes on me, so I turned to look and saw
Setsuna. Setsuna averts her gaze. Her face was slightly red though.

“I’ll have to decline that offer. I’m also traveling to reach my own objectives.”

In the first place, Setsuna is already my property. She cannot become the chains to
bind me.

“I see, I understand. We’ll leave the day after tomorrow. Let’s have a banquet today,
please enjoy yourselves. We’ll do our best to entertain our village’s heroes.”

“Ah, I’m looking forward to it.”

That was the end of the conversation. The rest was just idle chat.

The banquet continued until late at night.

The sake made by the Ice Wolves is strong and it makes my throat burn. Despite that,
it was tasty.

Freia, who drank without a care in the world, was drunk and sleeping in the room that
was lent to us.
I had left the banquet and went into the forest at night.

“Keyaruga-sama, come. Body hot. Going crazy.”

I made Setsuna put her hands on a tree and stick out her butt. I grab her protruding
butt from behind and thrust myself into her.

Even though I wasn’t doing anything, Setsuna was getting wet. Apparently, she was
really excited about her revenge. Not only was she wet, she was also extremely hot. I
feel like I’m going to cum early today.

“I’ll give you lots of love.”

“Aa, an! Suddenly, Keyaruga-sama, inside Setsuna. Setsuna feels alive. Setsuna is alive
now.”

Setsuna was screaming with delight as I fucked her hard.

After a life-threatening battle, you feel the most alive when you’re lying your body with
someone else like this.

This is the best way to feel life. There are plenty of pleasures that can only be enjoyed
at a time like this. I’ll make sure to teach her plenty.

“…Intense today.”

“It’s because I’m excited after a battle.”

Setsuna’s face is still red as she fixes her clothes.

Setsuna’s level cap is still low, so I need to properly increase it. It’s not as simple as
resting today and doing a little extra tomorrow.

Setsuna is whipping off the amount that’s spilling out. I find that erotic.

“Setsuna also excited. A lot.”

Why is the lewd appearance of a beautiful young girl so arousing? Unable to hold back
my urges anymore, I kiss Setsuna and indulge in her.

“What do you think after dirtying your hands and killing the people you hated?”

Setsuna closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and then opened her mouth.

“Felt good. Head and body so hot like they were on fire. Every time swung nails, feeling
grew and started to tremble. And when saw them crying or shouting, also. When
unable to move, wanted to laugh… felt like a trance. Killed, Killed and killed and when
noticed, felt cold, mind turned white and tears came out.”

Setsuna hugged her own body. It was as if she was afraid of something.

“Do you regret it?”

“Don’t. Always wanted to do this. Would go crazy if handn’t. Made them feel least one-
hundredth of pain Setsuna and others felt.”

Despite her words, Setsuna’s face was pale.

“So what are you afraid of? What do you fear?”

“Don’t know. The only thing know is that it not enough. Setsuna’s revenge not over yet.
After everything turned white, chased the men who running away. Even then, not
enough.”

Setsuna laughs. That’s right, it’s not enough. That’s what revenge is all about.

Setsuna has indeed killed a lot of people, but what she lost hasn’t returned. So she still
doesn’t feel satisfied. And because she’s not satisfied, her revenge hasn’t ended.

“Then, continue your revenge until you’re satisfied. As long as you’re with me, you’ll
be able to fight the soldiers of the Jioral Kingdom to your heart’s content.”

“Un. Looking forward to it.”

I pat Setsuna’s head between her white wolf ears. She then leans her body on me.

“Promised you’d save the Ice Wolf village and let Setsuna take revenge. Kept it, so
Setsuna will give Setsuna’s everything.”
I smile. Setsuna will now reveal to me her True Name.

The True Name is the name that is engraved on the soul of all non-human creatures.
Once I know it, I can have Setsuna do whatever I want. Setsuna will become my
property in the true sense of the word.

“Keyaruga-sama, Setsuna’s, Setsuna’s True Name is…”

Setsuna’s True Name is engraved into my mind. I use that name to invoke contract
magic. Setsuna and I are now connected.

Setsuna is now mine.

“Thank you. Setsuna, I promise to give you affection until the day I die.”

“Un. Setsuna prepared for that. Probably because it’s Setsuna’s happiness.”

Even though she just became a slave for the rest of her life, Setsuna laughed. What a
strange girl.

Well, it’s fine. I can use her, so I’ll take good care of her, so she doesn’t break from me
using her too much.

I stroked Setsuna’s head again. Not to raise her level limit, but purely out of lust, I
devoured Setsuna’s body again, and she reacted with a lovely voice.

After finishing my work with Setsuna, we entered a limestone cave deep in the forest
so I could tell Setsuna something.

This place leads to the underground water vein that goes through the city. It’s also the
source of the strange disease.

“Setsuna, I heard that the two Ice Wolves that were enslaved along with you died
because they weren’t able to endure the suffering of the strange disease.”

“Un, right. Caught that disease at the merchant’s house after turning into slave.”
“In other words, they were indirectly killed by the disease.”

Setsuna tilts her head in confusion. It seems she still doesn’t understand what I’m
trying to get at.

“The truth is that I knew that the disease was being caused by monster poison being
mixed into the water supply. And then I saw a monster with that same poison near the
Ice Wolf village. That’s when I figured it out. That disease was caused deliberately.”

Using magic, I found the location of this limestone cave, the source of the poison. This
is halfway between the Ice Wolf village and Ranalitta. And to top it off the source of
the poison is a monster that lives near the Ice Wolf village.

Anyone who came this far can understand it. I dragged out the thing that had sunk to
the bottom of the underground lake in the limestone cave.

It was a monster that looked like a mix of a monkey and a crab. It was only half dead
and it was bound by chains at the bottom of the lake.

And the wounds were secured by metal fittings so that its bodily fluids constantly
came out.

“The mysterious disease was caused by the Ice Wolf race. The motive must be revenge.
The timing when Setsuna and the other five Ice Wolves were kidnapped coincides with
the start of the spread of the mysterious disease. It’s a clever way to kill a lot of people
that you hate.”

I laughed. Jioral Kingdom is merciless, but in a way, the Ice Wolves are even more so.

If left unchecked, thousands will die. They were planning to destroy an entire city.

“…Then, Ice Wolves were reason behind Setsuna and others’ disease?”

“That’s right. Well, you could say the people at fault are the ones who kidnapped you
guys, but the direct cause are the Ice Wolves. Now, Setsuna, let me ask you this:”

There was no reason to tell Setsuna about this. But I’m trying to make a hobby of
watching other people’s revenge.

“I can make the poison even deadlier. If I do that, many more of the humans that you
hate will die. On the other hand, I can tweak things to make medicine flow instead of
poison, curing everyone from the disease. I can also find out who did this, this would
be your chance to kill the Ice Wolf who killed your friends. I’ll let you choose. It’s a
celebration of Setsuna becoming mine in the truest sense.”

Now, what choice will she make? No matter what she chooses, she’ll be hurt. That’s
why I’m asking her.

“Keyaruga-sama, cure everyone. Make medicine flow out.”

Setsuna’s answer was the one I least expected, as it would save the humans she hates.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Don’t care about humans suffering, but don’t want people like Setsuna and others
to suffer. Also…”

Setsuna paused and made a cruel smile.

“If going to kill anyway, do it with these claws. Boring like this.”

I ended up breaking into an applause. That’s the best answer I could have come up
with.

A young girl, so distorted by her harsh environment. Until now, I thought Setsuna was
a pure and sane person, but it seems I was mistaken. She’s broken enough, maybe even
more than me.

“Then I’ll do that. Setsuna, I’m counting on you from now on.”

“Un. Setsuna also count on you from now.”

My journey for revenge has just begun.

Princess Flare, who had her memory whipped and became Freia, whispers her love
for me, devotes herself to me, turns on her own country and accumulates even more
crimes. I wonder how she’ll react when she eventually remembers everything.

Setsuna, the Ice Wolf girl, will support me as my accomplice and the person who
understands me. She will never be able to escape me. My lovely possession.
By the time I realized it, the painful and lonely fights suddenly became enjoyable.

Now, what shall I do next?

There are many things I want to do, not to mention showing hell to the Sword Hero
and the Gun Hero, who are still out and about somewhere.

This world belongs to me, and I can do anything I want. I laughed out loud.

First, let’s do something big in Ranalitta to get their attention. My revenge has just
begun.

*TN: The place the Ice Wolves are going to is Erushie, the nation that Syril, the main
character of another of the author’s works, creates
(https://www.novelupdates.com/series/elf-tensei-kara-no-cheat-kenkoku-ki/). It’s
a powerful nation that accepts people of races usually persecuted by humans, like the
elves, Fire Foxes and now the Ice Wolves.
