Thanks to Daisuke's newfound strength, Satoru, Mikasa, and Hina were rescued from the debris. Hina was the one in critical condition, with her head severely hit. She was breathing, but there was no sign she would remain that way for long, while Mikasa's two legs were crushed.Like Daisuke some minutes ago, Satoru's back was fractured as well. He could barely stand without crying out. Instinctively, Daisuke placed his hands on each of them, and just by channeling some of his magical energy into them, they were healed.Daisuke got to his feet and looked around him. He shut his eyes and stretched forth his hands, and several piles of rubble went up in the air. Then, from the crevices beneath the rubble, several slave goblins, outcasts, and elves crawled out, all severely injured. All of them were injured by the debris that had covered him.A visible blue aura emanated from Daisuke's body and swept through the entire region. It was warm to everyone who came into contact with it, and all w
*06:00 AM* *Present day* Daisuke found himself tightly squeezed underneath a sturdy table, peering anxiously through a clear glass wall of an enormous skyscraper in his bustling city. The urban landscape was teeming with towering buildings and grand structures. However, Daisuke wasn't there as a resident in an apartment; he was in this building for work. It was a massive workplace that occupied over thirty floors and housed hundreds of offices. Even though it was his day off on a Saturday, Daisuke had ventured into the building for personal reasons. While the rest of the staff members went home, he chose to stay behind, skillfully concealing himself from the watchful eyes of the security guards who had patrolled the previous night. Daisuke worked as a cleaner at the firm, a position he despised with every fiber of his being. But given his circumstances, he felt trapped with no better options. The pay was decent, and it wasn't a public place with constant customer interactions, whi
The system abruptly interrupted Daisuke's thoughts, capturing his attention. He was about to express his confusion when the system preemptively offered an explanation."I don't understand," Daisuke started to say, but the system promptly clarified, "Allow me to explain: The sadness you felt in your previous life, which led you to think about ending it, was mostly because of the bad choices you made when you were younger. So, I must ask, how much should I guide you to make sure you don't repeat those same mistakes?"Daisuke wondered about the reason for his rebirth. How did this system have such deep knowledge about him? It was undeniably strange. However, if the system took control of his soul right after his death, there must be a purpose waiting for him. He longed for a life that went beyond the ordinary, aspiring to become something greater.In front of him were different options, tempting him to make a choice. He almost went for the green option, which meant he wanted to be free fr
"Do you seek a swift death? Is that what you truly desire?" Aya questioned, her voice filled with concern. "That's the only explanation for your recklessness."Asuka's frown deepened. "Leave me alone," she ordered, but Aya disregarded her words and moved closer."You know I will never let you go on this journey alone," Aya stated firmly."I'm aware," Asuka replied with a slight smile. "So just be quiet and follow my lead.""Yes, sister," Aya reluctantly agreed, and they resumed their ascent up the hill. After about twenty minutes, they reached the summit.Asuka scanned their surroundings, taking advantage of the elevated vantage point. Aya joined her, saluting the sun and searching for any sign of what they sought.Suddenly, Asuka gasped, her attention captured by a glimmer in the distance. Aya grew concerned upon witnessing her sister's reaction. "What is it?" she asked anxiously."Look over there," Asuka said, pointing in a specific direction.Aya's eyes widened as she saw it too. De
Leaving the lifeless body of the Jinro behind, the sisters began their journey back to the safety of the elven territory, bringing the unconscious stranger with them. Their minds were filled with curiosity about this mysterious person who had selflessly rescued them from a dreadful fate. They both felt a strong urge to express their gratitude and provide him with some hospitality as a token of their appreciation.Luckily, their passage through the Jinro-infested area remained uneventful, although they couldn't shake the uneasy feeling of being watched. It was possible that they had been spotted but spared an attack, which made them feel a sense of impending danger.Furthermore, they now carried the burden of knowing that they had assisted a man who had taken the life of a Jinro, leaving its body as evidence. It was clear that complications would arise, but they fervently hoped that the consequences would be minimal.The sisters let out a collective sigh of relief as they finally reache
When she noticed his abnormal breathing, she gazed at him intently, drawing her face closer to his."What's wrong?" asked Asuka with genuine concern, placing a hand on his head. Startled, Daisuke became so flustered that he tumbled out of bed."I'm sorry, did I scare you?" she inquired, descending from the bed and slowly crawling towards him as he crawled backward, distancing himself.He continued until his back met the wall on the opposite side of the hut. Then she knelt right in front of him, so close that he felt her ample bosom press against his chin.Daisuke's face reddened at this proximity. He had never experienced such intimacy with a woman before, and it felt overwhelming. To compound matters, she touched his head again."Damn it. You have a fever," she exclaimed, cupping his face with both hands, causing him to gaze directly into her eyes."Do I still frighten you?" she inquired.Daisuke reached his breaking point."I'm fine," he said, panting. Summoning all his willpower, he
"You said what?" he asked.Without saying too much, he placed something wrapped in a cloth on the table and quickly unwrapped it before his brother.Kurai widened his eyes as he saw a sword stained with what was presumably his brother's blood."His body lies outside," Mazui said to him, and he sprinted out of the room to see for himself.He went outside and saw the body of his younger brother lying stiff on a large sheet. Maga's lower jaw was broken, and a piercing hole could be seen going up through his upper jaw and cutting through his head."One of our main packs found his body during the start of their nightly hunt. The sword was lodged into his jaw, and from the pattern of the injuries, he was attacked by something very strong," Mazui explained to him."Who did this?" asked Kurai, his tone filled with imminent anger."We don't know for sure," replied Mazui. "But what we do know is that the sword used to kill him had the mark of the elves on it.""The elves?" asked Kurai. "The elve
Kazuya's eyes widened in astonishment, unable to believe what he was seeing before him. It was not just a mere display of lights; rather, they were the luminous eyes of the Jinro, shining brilliantly in the dark, visible even from a great distance away. "Sir, are those what I think they are?" Hiroshi inquired, recognizing the familiar pattern of lights approaching them. The answer was undoubtedly "yes," but Kazuya didn't need to articulate it explicitly. "Quickly, go back inside and sound the alarm," he instructed Hiroshi urgently. "Gather as many brave elves as you can find." Following his orders, Hiroshi rushed into the village while Kazuya observed the Jinro dashing towards their territory. He pondered why they would invade elven land at such an unusual hour. The unexpected arrival in the dead of night implied that the approaching party had malicious intentions, and the village needed to be prepared. Meanwhile, back at their dwelling, the trio was startled by the sudden blare o
