The people that I had recruited to the security system were not even adventurers. They did not have any special prowess, abilities, titles, or even specialties. Some were individuals like that, but most of the population formed on the organisation were none other than average people who wanted to find jobs. These people who didn’t have any spells or abilities were prioritised over the ones who were already adventurers, mercenaries, or the like. These people would be granted guns as their primary weapon, specifically revolvers and Glock-18. These handguns should be enough to take down a grown man, and it would take a few shots to kill an elephant with it. Those who were higher ranks would receive submachines, which was designated for average to major threats within the city. Missiles and snipers were handed over to the generals or the leader of these security offices. And they would be the one leading the backlines. Moreover, I also assembled a few tanks and military-grade jeepneys f
Even though one of the pirates announced that they would return and conquer the place, those corsairs didn’t come. I waited and came prepared. But the preparations I had were still on standby, ready to be used once necessary.The months turned into years. And after finally stabilising everything and inventing most I could, I earned a high-ranking title more than a duke. I also earned the respect of the King, making me the second most important person from the Kingdom. Those insignificant nobles and my “Classmates” from the Magique Academy were nothing but ants, so I had no idea where the hell they were right now. Some might even become my employees from the security system, while others… continued on with their lives without moving forward.Throughout those years, I… found life. I still valued myself, but…. Since the pirates looked like they paused their attack, I started to question my own life.After achieving multiple awards and titles, I was left alone with one question. “What’s g
There was a radiating pain inside my chest that I couldn’t explain. I was a doctor, so I should know what kind of illness I was having. But no matter what kind of test I made - ecg, xray, or palpitations - the pain wasn’t on my skin, muscle, or in my veins. It was in my head. After taking a break for a few weeks, my head calmed down, but the agony inside my heart still remained.I didn't know what it was, so I self-reflect. My mind came back from time and visited the recollection I had with me. Where did I go wrong?What did I do wrong?Did I even do something wrong?Whatever it was, I couldn’t find the answer. And this series of questions led me to one ultimate inquiry…What would Fubuki say when he found out what I had become… right now?Throughout the years of becoming a scientist, inventor, doctor, and a researcher, I had discovered thousands of medicines, machines, and other facts of the world. Every time I accomplished my tasks, I would feel delighted. I became what I was today
Back to the Past where Fubuki is still aliveFubuki Ryutarou’s Point of View_____________________________Instead of heading towards my academy, I stopped by the nearest public hospital to get my health checked up. Even though my feet trembled and refused to move where I wanted to go, I still headed towards the health centre to know what kind of sickness I had. For the past few months, I had been coughing out blood. And my muscles became more tense and painful. I neglected the excruciating pain for a few weeks, especially from my younger brother, gritted through everything and thought that feeling would disappear. But it didn’t. Every day became worse than before, and I noticed my body wasn’t acting as usual. Ironically, I was planning to become a doctor, and my pre-medical course was biochemistry. This was my first year attending my class, so I didn’t know what kind of illness I had. I told everything to my professor. But since this academy milked students and patients for cash, m
Back to the Present Owari Ryutarou’s Perspective__________________The question still remained. “Do I still have the right to become happy? Or… am I destined to be alone?” I didn’t notice, but I had already mumbled the words occupying my mind, and Elizabeth heard everything.And yet, the answer was simple. After what I had done, I already saved countless people. And I saved this person before my eyes.“Don’t be too hard on yourself, Owari. You did what you could. And after hearing your story, I know that… you’ve done what you think is correct.”“What do you mean ‘what I think is correct?’” I asked, lashing out my anger towards Elizabeth. I knew this was a mistake, but… my emotions were finally getting the best of me.“There might be other ways for you to bring the goodness of the world. That’s why others cannot comprehend what you have been doing lately,” Elizabeth answered.Again, I couldn’t control my anger as I raged in front of Elizabeth. She had done nothing wrong, and I knew t
A few years went by, and now I was finally married. Within a blink of an eye, I found the love of my life… At least, that was what everyone called it in both worlds. Despite making Elizabeth my wife, we still treated each other the same, but with more focus on spending time with each other. Elizabeth demanded that kind of thing. Even though I told her that I would focus most of my time sinking my eyes in front of my inventions, she insisted I should add more rest time in my work days.It turned out, those breaks were… disasters. Even so, this was a challenge that I had placed myself in. And since I had a family to take care of, King Rowan and the other nobles had a difficult time touching our schedules and annoying us for the next latest inventions.However, those peaceful nights shattered when the pirates came and attacked the nearby coast.After not hearing anything from there for a few years, these pirates showed up, asking for trouble. Thanks to the security systems and offices I
I met with the mayor of the Honeywood town to congratulate him for being a wonderful leader of this place. We were inside a shabby tavern. The only people inside the mayor’s office were the mayor himself, one of his subordinates, the manager of the security system I made, and myself. We were the only ones capable of deciding what was best for the Honeywood town, so I gathered the four of us inside a room. Despite the aesthetic designs of this place, I still commended the chief of this townlet and rewarded his deeds for helping the people in need. But the conversation turned astray… in a good way. But before anything else, it would be rude barging into someone’s place without actually introducing one’s self. So I went ahead and told them my name and my title. “My name is Owari . Owari Ryutarou. I am currently the strategist of the main city of the Kingdom, the brains behind the security system, and the duke of the Kingdom.” I presented my crest and continued. “We’ve come here to supp
The town’s chief, Leonard, offered us rooms and houses for my army. Thankfully, I didn’t bring a lot of my people and only invited the selected ones I deemed trustworthy, or else this village won’t have enough for my people to rest. Truth be told, my people will be sharing rooms with each other. I ask them about it, and they tell me they are fine with it. As long as these people are fine with it, then so am I. I send out a few of my people to scout the area and be on the lookout for any pirates visiting and eyeing this place. Although we can eliminate the threats surrounding Honeywood town as fast as possible, my people are already exhausted from all the battles we fought and the distance we trod. It is better for us to stay put in this place and continue our hunt for tomorrow. And on top of it, the scouts I’ve sent can retrieve any information about our enemies, making our task easier for tomorrow.My room is at the top floor of the building, designated for leaders and elite nobles
