2024-10-29 19:42:56“Can you walk?” Screw asks the young Gura, who is sitting in front of him, as he places his cheek on his right hand.
She said emotionlessly, “Numb,” wearing a poker face.
He snatches Gura and carries her on his arm, saying, “Come up; I'll carry you.” She said, “Sticky.” The little lady was dragged by Screw to a lake not far away. After setting the small girl down, he doused her in water. The moment the water touched her body, she shuddered a bit. “Cold.”
He uses his own hooded cloth to dry her after washing her. To cast the spells [Clean]* and [Dry]*, he lifted his hand and snapped a finger.
[Casting spell: Failed]
As expected, he can't use his magic and cast it to people apart from himself. Even the most basic and necessary spells are prohibited for him to cast.
After picking up the little girl, he went to the forest with the intention of spending the night there beneath the huge tree he had just found. He doesn't frequently save his food; therefore, the child needed to be fed edible fruits or mushrooms, which he had to look for or uncover.
Gura nods in agreement as Screw tells her to “stay here for now,” adding, “Alyssa, scan the area.” Screw then leaps to the enormous tree trunk and sets the small girl down.
[Activating Skill: Eye map]
[Eye map scanning radius degraded to 100]
[System search: No edible foods]
[System suggest: Move to other location]
Before starting to move to a different place in quest of food, Screw read the message prompt. He looks for a while, then comes back with some fruit that is edible.
He leaps to the tree and hugs the little girl, saying, “I'm back, baby.” He was aware of this and braced for it, but he still desired a more emotional greeting from Gura, who only gave him a frigid glare.
[The System look at you pathetically]
[Loner]
‘Shut the flock up, Alyssa.’
-----
Night.
When nocturnal wild animals become increasingly active for the night hunt, Screw and Gura sit at the top of the tree, hiding. Gura receives a firm embrace from him so that she won't be as chilly during the night. He also observed that Gura was still awake. “You should be resting now... You can't sleep?”
Gura concentrated on the lenses on Screw. He patted Gura's head gently. “You don't need to be afraid; I'm here to protect you,” he said. She hums and nods. “Well, I see; this is your first night; you were born only a few hours ago.”
*Ding*
[System: Feral Beast spotted]
“Where?”
[Below us]
Screw command the system after viewing the system prompt. [Activate the Null skill]*.
The system followed the command, [Activating Null skill]

[System Null skill: Presence reduction]
*Ding*
[System Null skill: Failed to activate]

[System Null Skill: Attempt to reactivate]
*Ding*
[System: Null skill activated]
*Ding*
[System: Null Skill Presence degraded into Null Scent]
*Ding*
[System: Your scent reduced to 15%]
After reading the system prompt, Screw closed his eyes. ‘It's really challenging. Living alone is much easier and better. I can protect myself, but can I protect this child? That Gura has a flowery scent that the beast cannot detect or smell is fortunate.’
[You are not alone]
[Don't forget, I'm also here to assist you]
“Even raising this child?” Screw jokingly said.
[Even raising that child]
“What you're serious?”
[Yes]
“Then you'll be the girlfriend,” Screw decided proudly.
[The System mock at you]
[No one wants to be your girlfriend]
“Flock you Alyssa!”
“Then you'll be her grandma,” Screw smirk as he gave the system a new title.
[I love it]
[The System gives you a thumbs up for the first time]
“What?!”
While Screw and the system continued speaking, Gura abruptly muttered. The nightmare is getting worse, and she can feel the perspiration forming on her brow. Screw holds her firmly and commands the system in a worried voice, “Alyssa, check her body temperature.”
[System checking: Body Temperature Normal]
[System checking: Nightmare]
“That's good, she's not sick—” before he finished, Gyura suddenly moan. “Fa—”
“Fa?”
[Fa?]
Gura continued to moan in pain, “Fa— Fa—”
[She's definitely saying Father] the system said while monitoring Gura's heartbeat and temperature. Aaw, so sweet~
“Fa.”
“Say it…” Screw eyes focus on Guras little lips. “Just say it,“ He insisted while he was wiping her sweat. “Fuck you—.”
“…”
[…]
Screw questioned the system, “Did I hear it right? I can't believe what I heard.” The word responds "yes" when the pop-up prompt is examined. He still won't believe he heard a derogatory phrase come from Gura's little lips. “Is this how people who have nightmares behave?”
[System analyzing: Complete]
Curious, Screw asked, “What did you see? The result?”
[System thinks the cuss word are for you]
Behind the mask, Screw raised an eyebrow and punched his head with his pointing finger, wondering, “Why me? Did I do anything bad to her? I have no memory.”
[The System looks at you]
[You don't remember?]
Screw was thinking things over; he kept scratching his forehead. “Um, no... What did I do?”
[You peed on her yesterday]
Screw completely forgot what he accomplished prior to Gura's birth as he felt a chilly sweat forming on his back. He felt bad and deserved to be called out again as he studied the message prompt. “Not my fault after all; most of the plants require watering.”
[You wag your small front tail like a dog]
[The system smirk: He-he SMALL]
“Alyssa stop!”
Gura's nightmare continues until dawn.
-----
“Hello, whoever is behind the screen; as you can see, little Gura is still asleep, and because I am paralyzed, she won't wake up.”
“Thankfully, nothing happened during the course of the night.”
“Don't you think it seems like yesterday? When I was single, I was wild, youthful, and free. Ta-dah! This is Gura. After a lot of events, I am now this child's foster father.”
Gura rubbed her eyes and asked the mask man, “Who—who are you talking to?” before immediately reaching out and delicately stroking the beak of Screw's mask.
[Don't exaggerate your story]
[You've just met Gura yesterday]
Screw caressing Gura's cheeks, “Good morning, Gura; it's nothing; I'm just chatting with my readers.”
Both Gura and the system ask, “Readers?”
“Just ignore it, will you? Anyway, here, eat some fruits.” He gave Gura some fruits for breakfast and said, “After that, we will leave this place and go and find a place to settle.”
Gura eats the fruit, saying it is “wonderful,” and despite her lack of expression, you can still see that she is happy because the color of her cheeks changes to a pink hue.
Screw lifted Gura high and said, “Now listen here, Gura, I'm not your father.” He stared at Gura sincerely, weeping beneath the mask. After a minute of staring, Screw becomes impatient and rattles Gura's body.
“Hello? Are you there? I'm revealing critical information here— It's not bad to respond, right? R-I-G-H-T?”
“Hmm, 'kay”
[A dry and emotionless reply]
[As expected from Gura]
No one will ever be furious with her while she is emotionless. He's not sure if he'll cry or laugh. “You know, even though this story has a sluggish pace, I'll make sure that the character developments are wonderful. Gura's character will be awesome,” says Screw as he glances off into the distance.
[The System doesn't know what to do with you]
[The System felt sorry]
Gura also look at the space Screw looking at, “Readers…”
The girl, who was sitting nearby and watching them closely, got chills when Screw gave her a personal glance.

They've been inside for a few days now, and they're still moving slowly and cautiously through the tangled jungle.

After some time, the goblins' line of defense was breached by the stamp of a hoof. A large bull with two enormous horns arrived, standing on two legs and brandishing an axe. In front of the goblins, the minotaur's foot struck the ground and stomped on it. A goblin charged forward to assault him but was stopped by an axe that slammed down quickly on his neck and severed his head. The lifeless corpse hit the ground as it dropped.

Another bright and brilliant day enveloped the entire woodland. The migrating birds' chorus is being performed by saplings. Fish are moving about, and animals are swimming. But death lurks beneath this beautiful repose. [Is that a little horned squirrel?] The system inquires, looking down at the little creature who is feeding. The small creature chirped, its mouth full of wall nuts, and gazed up at it innocently with huge, innocent black eyes, giving it the appearance of a puppy rather than a squirrel. It was charming and adorable in a strange manner. It had no idea what it was doing here. “Let's change the subject,” he suggests, “because it appears we've done this kind of stuff before.” He rubs his head in frustration.

Screw the Sage Unknown Creature
Elite goblins and hobgoblins were gathered in the middle of the battlefield when a swarm of elite minotaurs plummeted from the sky one by one. The goblin army was alarmed by their unexpected presence. Caught off guard, the goblin king hastily ordered the attack with his entire army, leaving just a few brave guards and even one brave wizard behind him. Unaware that their destiny was sealed that night, they stood there helplessly, powerless to save them. The minotaur general, who appeared to be the most terrifying monster in the forest, let out a loud roar as he plunged head-on into the goblin army, his armor clanging and scraping across the stone floor. With each swing of his battle axe, he slashed at the goblins and killed several more, leaving much more hurt than dead in his wake. He battled fiercely like an ancient warhorse. The minotaur kept going, brandishing death at his foe. When he swung his battle axe, he brought more dead victims into the fray, until the weapon was dripping

The girl got up immediately, perplexed as to what had occurred. She recalls a ruthless hand grabbing her body and dragging her into the book, and then she witnessed the life and tale of a guy in the third person. She's still drowsy from the tiredness, so she just sleeps there, staring at the attic ceiling, for a few moments until her memory returns. Her pulse rate increased slightly as she recalled what had actually occurred, and she became scared. She attempted to remain calm because it wasn't real. ‘This is not true.’ She reflected to herself. Everything was in her head. “The man, his narrative, the little kid, and everything else are all creations of my mind.” She told herself, "I can do this." Everything will be alright if I remain cool and continue to take deep breaths as before. “I'm hungry,” she grumbled as she touched her tummy. “I guess it's already morning,” she replies, rising up and collecting her suitcase before looking and thinking if she would take the cursed book wit

Above. The gods look down on all beings other than their own kind. Then, as the mightiest, you must enforce the norm and allow the lowest animals to follow, bow, repent, and pray. Because they had endless lives, they were bored doing nothing, and the gods decided to invent entertainment suitable for a deity that monarchizes every world they control. The gods have an eye in every universe; they established this link to facilitate communication and wagering. Gods that crave amusement will go to any length to obtain it. One example is the formation of angels, demon lords, heroes, saints, and monsters to compete for the correct piece to employ. Whoever wins will be fortunate. They LIE. This is a never-ending cycle of battle, life, and death. But all changes when the Ertoverse, a component of the multiverse, gives birth to a solitary man on planet Ert.

The first rays of morning appeared, and a symphony of lyrical bird melodies began to float across the settlement. The streets were softly illuminated by the newly risen sun, which was accompanied by a rush of morning activity. She massaged her groggy eyelids as dawn crept into her chamber. She caught a glimpse of a pearly gleam in the sky through the window. A man with a plague mask waited at the door next to her. He turns to her and says, “Good morning,” before going back to make her food. She leaps from her bed, rushes, and then suddenly clutches her master's back. She buried her face into her master's back as she said, “It's been long—so long.” When Screw noticed it, he said, “Go back now, and thank you for remembering me.” ***** “Happy birthday, Gura.

The master-disciple duo stood at the food booth, staring at the grilled meat with seasonal vegetables, salads, and various sauces. Everyone wants to nibble on that piece of meat because of the perfume it emits.“Can we eat?” Gura asked while salivating at the dish in front of her eyes. “Nope…” Screw said, while his stomach grumbled, “You got money?” He asked.“None,” she cried.[The system suggests working as an adventurer.]The system suddenly suggested the most efficient way to gain spare money.

The adventurers walked right into the Malaska Dungeon. They made it through the first floor, defeating slime and little goblins. They continued traveling after passing through the dungeon's second floor, where they battled even lesser enemies that may pose a severe threat to them.They made it to the third floor, destroyed all the minions in their path, and plundered a tiny goblin village. The fourth floor was likewise simple. The fifth floor included a red ogre in his prime with a powerful axe and a blue ogre who tried to murder them but died after a strike to the head and a few strong punches from the adventurers.They made it to the sixth floor and encountered a little lizard that nearly killed their entire party due to its tremendous magical assault.

Another wolf came in and lunged at Gura; she escaped the onslaught and slapped its neck with a stick. The wolf, beaten by the stick, rises up and looks at Gura's position. *Grrr* The other wolf sat back and let him hit once again. This time, instead of attacking, the wolf circled Gura, targeting and positioning itself to charge with its claws. She didn't move an inch. Outside, she's as tranquil as water, but on the inside, a seething wave of excitement devours her. She wishes to taste it. That is all over her head. The wolf pounced again after numerous circlings, but this time with more tremendous leg force. He prepared his sharp claws to claw Gura's back and then aim for her neck for a kill. But the wolf was taken aback when Gura moved and confronted his attack head-on, as if she had anticipated it. She flicked her wrist and flung the stick, striking the wolf's nose and causing the creature to lose its equilibrium. This allows Gura to jump into the wolf's body, retrieve her dagger

Many locals became depressed since they didn't know what to do and had lost hope. “If the great chief had not died inside our village, he would have survived and led us; maybe we would have known what to do,” one of the village survivors explained. “We can't do anything; those bandits attack us unexpectedly and without hesitation.” A lady embraces a bundle of grass and inquires, “Why do those bandits attack us?

The city was not particularly large, but the residents were ecstatic. When word spread that a dungeon was sprouting on Malaska Plain, several merchants rushed inside. A guy approached the caravan while examining the surroundings. “Good to see you all arrived safely,” he replied, bowing to them. “As scheduled, we arrive on time; where should we stay?” The guy grinned and motioned for the caravan to follow him. They arrive at the local inn and instructed the members of the caravan to stay and rest for a while and before daybreak they must ready to go to the Malaska plain. The young girl use this time to buy more necessity for her own survival and prepare for the upcoming adventure inside the dungeon. They arrived at a nearby inn and advised the caravan members to stop and relax for a time before departing towards the Malaska plain before daylight. The little girl takes this time to stock up on supplies for her own survival and prepare for the approaching adventure inside the dungeon.
