Gina couldn't help but question Gaige's actions. "W-why did you have to do that?" she asked, her voice trembling with a mix of confusion and concern. She reached out to wipe the child's face, which was adorned with an innocent smile. She felt a pang of guilt for not noticing what had been happening behind her while she was engrossed in helping the two men battle the purger.

Gaige looked at Gina with a hint of mischief in his eyes. "That too!" he declared, gesturing toward the other purger who lay motionless on the ground. He wondered how much more money he could accumulate by deceiving the remaining purger, but Gina walked away from the scene, leaving him looking slightly disappointed.

"Gina, let's go before another purger shows up," urged Blink, the middle-aged man. He gently scooped Gaige into his arms, taking charge of carrying the child while the three of them continued their search for a safe haven.

After finding new temporary shelter, Zeno, the hooded man, noticed Blink studyi

    Gina poured every last drop of her mana into the spell, acutely aware that this moment represented their only chance for escape. Gaige, with his diminutive stature, rested securely in her protective embrace, while Zeno and Blink clung tightly to her shoulders, determination etched across their faces. Thoughts raced through Gina's mind, doubts and fears warring within her. "Is my magic strong enough for this? Can I truly carry us to safety? Failure isn't an option; there may not be a second chance." With a subtle shift of her shoulders, she whispered, "Please watch over me. I'll lose consciousness after this." In this precarious alliance forged in the crucible of shared trials and battles, trust remained a fragile thread. But the bonds they had unknowingly begun weaving during their harrowing journey provided a semblance of reassurance. Zeno's thoughts raced, grappling with his newfound reliance on Gina. "This girl, Gina, is our lifeline now. In this unforgiving world, survival hing

    For the first time in what felt like an eternity, they found themselves living through an entire day without the horrifying sight of bloodshed and violence. Nestled within the sanctuary of the forest, they basked in the rare sensation of safety. However, despite this newfound respite, they remained vigilant, their movements measured and their voices hushed, as the threat of the spirits dragging them back to the hunt area are still hunting them. A full day had come and gone, and Gina, the first to awaken, lay resting in the protective embrace of Zeno's arms. With the passage of time, she had seized the opportunity to replenish her depleted mana, ensuring her readiness to continue monitoring events unfolding across a distant continent. Gina had masterfully employed her teleportation magic, traversing vast distances to assess the situation. Her dedication was unwavering, and she was determined to confirm that the purgers and spirits that had relentlessly pursued them were no longer a th

    The forest, with its solemn grandeur, exuded an aura of bygone solitude. Untouched by the relentless march of humanity's spirit, this wilderness remained a hidden realm of nature. Towering trees cast long, enigmatic shadows, while dense undergrowth veiled the land beneath a lush canopy, shielding it from the harsh sun's rays. The forest stood as a timeless sanctuary, its towering sentinels guarding the enigmatic realm beneath. Yet, for the three souls venturing deeper into this tranquil wilderness, the forest's allure remained unnoticed. Their faces bore the weight of sorrow, their steps slow and deliberate. In their midst, Blink bore the lifeless form of Gaige, carefully making his way up a hill. Zeno had found this serene spot to be the final resting place for their cherished companion. Gone were the signs of weariness that had plagued them during their arduous journey. They had found time to cleanse themselves and had lovingly prepared Gaige's tiny form, making it presentable for

    Gaige's eyes remained fixed on the screen in front of him as he contemplated his dire financial situation—negative two million EC and a staggering debt of -1500 EXP. The mission displayed on the screen offered the highest reward yet, but it still fell short of what he needed to secure a flight back to Adermordna, the place where the purging had occurred. Nevertheless, he had no choice but to accept it and work tirelessly to earn what was required. [Mission: Purge the Spirit Criminal] [Target: Rosina] [Target’s description and background information are locked.] [Requires 5 EXP to unlock] [Reward: 1000 EXP and 100,000 EC] [The mission must be completed in twenty-four hours.] [Do you accept? Yes or No] With a wicked grin, Gaige confirmed his acceptance of the mission, but his excitement waned when he noticed the timer. [Mission accepted; the timer starts now!] "There’s a timer?" he muttered, his eyes scanning the mission details. Amidst his exhilaration, he had overlooked this

    "Come inside; I can give you free cakes," the old lady urged, kindness radiating from her voice. Gaige couldn't help but contemplate the old lady's ulterior motives. It was evident that there was more to her than met the eye. He wondered what kind of spirit she was, what her true objectives were, and what crime had landed her on the purger's hit list. Feigning hesitation, Gaige responded, "Free? I don’t have money." "Oh my, don’t worry, I won’t charge you," the old lady reassured him. "B-but," Gaige stammered, continuing his act. He twirled his long scarlet hair around his finger, attempting to maintain a feminine facade. However, he soon abandoned the pretense, realizing that it was futile. He decided to let the old lady believe whatever she wished, all the while remaining prepared for a confrontation. If the situation could be resolved without a protracted battle, all the better. "How about you help me bake it, and you can have as much as you want?" the old lady proposed, her v

    "Hey, Adal," Gaige called out. [Yes, Purger Gaige.] Gaige couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance every time he was addressed as a "Purger." It was a label he couldn't embrace, as he held a deep aversion to it. His ultimate goal was to avenge the returnees who had suffered and perished during the hunt, and he longed to return to the peaceful life they had once known. The injustice of their plight, forced into multiple lives of suffering, was something he could never comprehend. His resentment momentarily sidetracked him, his thoughts lingering on the Earth system's injustices and the purger designation before he redirected his attention to his conversation with Adal. "Adal, why does my rank remain at 548? Many purgers have perished, and others have risen and fallen in the hunt. Shouldn’t my rank have moved at least a little?" Gaige queried, curious. [Rank updates in real-time, but due to the system error, ranks remain unchanged.] "So, when will my rank be updated?" Gaige inq

  • Welcome back Transmigrator   Chapter Forty: "Need to Surrender"

    Gaige had grossly underestimated the spirits he was targeting. His impulsive killing spree was taking him perilously close to his own demise. He once believed that spirits would be easy prey, but that assumption had nearly proven fatal. The pamphlet that had come dangerously close to striking him was unexpectedly razor-sharp, capable of splitting a car in two. Dazed for only a moment, Gaige quickly refocused on the spirit that should have been dead, wondering how it had survived his direct shot. Before he could ponder this further, the spirit calmly revealed its secret. It rose from its prone position as if waking from a nap, demonstrating its body's unique ability. It was encased in a thin, glass-like paper that it could manipulate to both defend and attack. "Adal, is there a way to abandon a mission?" Gaige inquired, hoping for a way out. [You can't abandon a mission in the middle of a fight. You can respawn if you die on a mission, but there will be penalties. However, the syste

    The revelation hit Gaige like a thunderbolt. As he stared at the screen, the weight of its words pressed down on him, leaving him in a stunned silence. It was a chilling truth he hadn't fully comprehended until now. "One-lifers or all the creatures living on Earth cannot reincarnate and will completely lose their soul, so ghosts and the undead are meant not to exist on Earth. If they do, they are meant to be extinguished." It was a profound realization that shattered the boundaries of his understanding. Until this moment, Gaige had assumed that a purger's sole duty was to eliminate returnees—those who came back from the dead. But the system's message revealed the grim extent of their responsibilities. The eradication of returnees was just one facet of their grim task.“Are you a ghost or a ghoul?” he asked again. “Aren’t you going to answer me?” his tone laced with frustration and impatience. He tightened his grip on the firearm, determined to make this shot count. Confidence surged

    Once Gaige Feryuson returned to Earth, the system was no longer with him or anyone else. He was overjoyed when he gazed into his reflection and saw his appearance revert to what he recognized as his original and very first identity—the average-looking Kim Nery. Though he looked plain, weaker, and less imposing than the main character-like appearance of the Commander Knight Gaige Feryuson, he loved his Kim Nery look because it granted him more peace and a sense of calmness. "Papa! You look uglier!" Lambert pointed out, and he immediately jumped into Gaige's arms when he noticed him descending the stairs. "You don't have to be rude anymore," Gaige said. He laughed at his son's apt remark. "Bert, the purger system is all gone," and he gave him a kiss in appreciation for the fact that his son still recognized him despite his current downgraded appearance. Lambert pouted, causing Gaige to laugh even louder. Lambert said, "I am just being honest, papa." Everyone gathered one by one, draw

    Chapter 255: "Welcome back, Kim Nery!"

    The chaos surrounding Gaige Feryuson showed no signs of abating, even after the one who initiated it had perished. Explosions and fires raged, and the air echoed with screams and cries. The streets were strewn with corpses and blood, and despair loomed over everything. Gaige Feryuson realized that the world had indeed been abandoned because the once-familiar skies were now devoid of the countless angels he had grown accustomed to seeing. For Gaige, it was far from comforting to gaze up at a clear sky for the first time without spotting any celestial beings lazily drifting through the heavens. Despite the departure of the immensely powerful creator, this didn't imply that only humans would remain. The remaining purgeable beings still existed, and although their extraordinary abilities would gradually wane, new returnees would continue to arrive. This was a fortunate development for the returnees and transmigrators, although not all of them were benevolent; some certainly posed a thr

    Chapter 254: "Dandelions"

    Each existing world has its own set of rules and foundational principles. Whenever something or someone violates these laws or disrupts the foundation that sustains its existence, the gods, along with the celestial beings, step in to intervene. The Purger system is one such example of divine intervention. Its purpose is to ensure that Earth remains exclusive to single-lifers, and this exclusivity serves a specific objective. Single-lifers are inherently less powerful than multiple-lifers, making purgers indispensable for Earth's stability and balance. However, the gods retain the freedom to abandon a world if it becomes excessively troublesome and burdensome to maintain, regardless of the significance of its inhabitants. In the case of Earth, the loss of an archangel, a significant decrease in the purger population, and a recurrence of errors have made the gods less inclined to rectify the situation and more inclined to forsake the world. Abandoning a world is a relatively straigh

    Chapter 253: "Shut it down!"

    Gaige Feryuson and his family had safely departed Yawyklim City. Each member settled into their seats while Gaige piloted the minibus. It was a moment of respite, albeit brief, as an unexpected and massive explosion rocked the entire city of Yawyklim. Gaige slammed the brakes suddenly, causing all his passengers to lurch forward, then quickly settle back in their seats. Everyone peered out the windows, their curiosity piqued by the sudden explosion. "Hasn't the hunt concluded?" Cain inquired. In response, the others simply shrugged, equally perplexed. As they were leaving, they had witnessed angels descending from the sky. They assumed it was the angels' responsibility to restore order following the hunt's chaos. They didn't quite comprehend the methods the angels employed. Gaige mumbled, "Hmm, it's not the angels." He enhanced his vision using his divine abilities to see farther and observe the events unfolding inside the city. Although his vision was somewhat limited, it was enou

    Chapter 252: "You steal the life out of me!"

    The administrators and gods had convened in one place to investigate the individual responsible for tampering with Earth's purging system. They had initially waited patiently for Andy YDna's summons, but several seconds had already passed, and the elusive purger had yet to appear. The significant time difference between Earth and heaven meant that waiting for even a brief moment in heaven translated to hours on Earth. The delay in receiving the summons was causing irritation to mount among those gathered. One particular god, his patience worn thin, unleashed his frustration upon the system administrators, angels, and toads. "What is going on? How much longer must I endure this waiting?" he growled. As a god vented his frustration, the surroundings quaked, and those beneath him gasped for air, momentarily losing their ability to breathe due to the sheer force of his presence. "Please, remain calm," Lord Lintian urged, trying to maintain composure. He sighed while his hands were occu

    Chapter 251: "Beware of Bugs and Errors"

    Ainspenser couldn't comprehend why everyone was staring at them with evident dismay. Frustrated by the situation, she questioned, "Why are they acting like this?" Gaige Feryuson, however, merely let out a heavy sigh and chose to ignore her inquiry. The murmurs from the onlookers continued, with voices speculating, "Which side is he on?" In reality, Gaige didn't align himself with either side. He walked away from the gathering to avoid getting caught up in the brewing drama. As all eyes followed him, they were taken aback when Gaige's fist struck something that appeared invisible. A resounding noise filled the air, and an invisible figure was sent tumbling. The invisibility spell concealing Andy shattered upon impact with the wall. He struggled to regain his footing but couldn't utter a word. Gaige reappeared in front of Andy, aiming his gun at Andy's forehead and firing without uttering a word. The sudden gunshot sent shockwaves through the onlookers, rendering them momentarily sp

    Chapter 250: "WARNING: You got scammed!"

    The Central Plaza was enveloped in the suffocating aura of death. Purgers opened fire fervently, even before they touched the ground. Fortunately, the purgeable beings were ready. Those with the ability to create shields covered those charging forward, allowing the others to engage the purgers immediately. As the two sides collided, the area became drenched in blood, and the acrid scent of death hung heavily in the air. The triumphant shouts of the enemy were nauseating, but no one wavered. "We can win!" declared one of the leaders upon seeing the purgers sustain more damage. The initial elation and confidence of the purgers quickly dwindled as the purgeable beings gained the upper hand. No one had expected these typically fearful and feeble individuals to respond with such ferocity. It caused the purgers to feel iffy about the sudden change. Also, the purgers' morale declines even more as they worry that they might not respawn as a result of the system's ongoing failure to co

    Chapter 249: "Why are you targeting me?"

    Except for Gaige and Ainspenser, everyone had gathered at Yawyklim Central Plaza. It was an unprecedented occurrence during the hunt, where opposing sides engaged in direct combat instead of scattered skirmishes. Purgers typically operated individually or in small groups, and rarely had they united en masse. On the other hand, purgeable beings were usually helpless and unprepared during the hunt. However, this time, they had learned how the hunt worked and gained the knowledge of how to combat purgers. The fear and vulnerability that once filled their eyes had given way to determination and a will to survive through their own strength and abilities. All of these changes had come about due to the efforts of both Andy and Gaige. Gaige had successfully persuaded the purgeable beings to cooperate, while Andy had effectively led the purgers. Even the angels observing from above found themselves anticipating the outcome of this rare event. With no clear distinction between hunters and pre

    Chapter 248: "Are we still playing?"

    A gentle breeze carried an oily scent through the air. Distant roars, initially faint and unclear, gradually intensified in volume and significance. Suddenly, Gaige Feryuson found himself in an open, expansive area that left him feeling uneasy. Perplexed by his circumstances, Gaige slumped down, gazing vacantly at the sky while making feeble attempts to grasp at the mud beneath him. "Why am I in the mud?" he wondered, his words being spoken with his mouth but only echoing within his mind. As he continued to survey the peculiar scene, he struggled to recall what he might have forgotten. Just then, a powerful gust of wind tore through the space with swiftness. However, the wind seemed to be coming from his eyes, so he turned his head to the side to shield himself from it. Gaige's face stung as the mud struck him with force. It was at that moment that the open space abruptly transformed into a confined area, resembling a dungeon. "Haha! Seriously." He laughed as he finally realize
