Chapter 7.2: Hero, Once Again (3)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
If there is one thing Samuel realized during his past year of adventurer life, it is that most of the high-ranking adventurers are not sane.
They are people who will beat the bar clerk for offending them.
They are person who can openly harasses a woman or a receptionist.
There are times when two drunks go out and only one returns—
—with the sword of the man who returns alone dripping with red blood.
All the talented and sane guys are recruited as guards and knights, so it was very natural if only these crazy guys were left in the Adventurer's Guild.
In such a place, the title of a village alley bully from a rural area was useless in all means.
Try to say it and you will be laughed at and beaten like a donkey.
So, all he could do was to humble himself over and over again until he could protect himself.
Under such circumstances, the younger adventurers who have just come to the city are showing their fangs in front of a B-class…
For Samuel, his heart thumped nervously every single time.
"I'll explain it you later, so for now listen to me. Don't intercept on whatever that person says. Just don't bother him."
"There dude. It's too noisy."
"Oh, yes, yes. I'm sorry."
Samuel bowed his head toward Cloud. Marilyn frowned, but as Samuel gripped her wrist tightly, she bit her lip and loosened her expression.
So, the group returned to silence again.
By the time they felt they had entered the cave quite deep, the party encountered nine goblins.
– Kiiie?
The goblins counted the number of Cloud's party. They soon realized that they had more numbers and smiled cruely.
The goblins drew out crude weapons such as wooden clubs and rusted daggers.
– Squeak! Chiiik!
'Did they really think that having a lot of numbers is advantageous?'
The goblins rushed towards Cloud and his party.
-Siuuu!
An arrow fired by Marilyn pierced the leading goblin's forehead. The goblin hit by the arrow fell down, but the other goblins did not stop and rushed.
Samuel and Gemina faced the goblins while Marilyn nocked a new arrow.
-Chiick! Squeak!
The three goblins hollered excitedly and swinged their clubs. However, there was a huge difference in size between a Goblin and Samuel. Samuel also had a shield, so he didn't take any significant damage from the goblin's club.
Rather, Samuel swung his sword and smashed the goblin's shoulder.
Meanwhile, Gemina, who had only two daggers, was having a hard time. Because all five of them were running towards her.
Fortunately, Tom wasn't late.
He swung his large ax crosswards. The goblins tried to block it with clubs and daggers, but the difference in weight and force was huge. The clubs and daggers were broken, and the bones of the goblins were also harpooned.
– Kiiie… Kiie…?
In an instant, four of them were taken out.
There was no more advantage in numbers. The goblins quickly began to run away into the cave.
"Where, huh?! Do you think I'll let you go?!"
Marilyn, with her hasty personality, drew a sword from her waist and chased after the goblins. Gemina, Tom, and even Samuel ran after her.
The enthusiasm of victory fanned them.
"You're going too deep."
Of these, only Cloud remained calm. He slowly made his way into the cave.
* * *
Marilyn, she is a confident women. Since she was young, whatever she did, she was savvy and good at it.
So this time too.
It's the first request I've received a quest, but it's going good, isn't it?
– Kik! Cheiik!!
Seeing the goblins scream and run away, she ran after.
'Anyway, Samuel oppa has become too soft.'
It's not even an S-grade or an A-grade, just a B-grade, what's so terrifying?
If it's a B grade, she can get it anytime she wants.
Just like here too.
When fighting the goblins, that B-class human did nothing.
No different from the village idiots who can only increase pressure on their shoulders.
'I have to show him properly this time.'
That, what a great warrior she herself is.
It was when she was chasing the goblins with such thoughts. Suddenly, she felt something strange on the sole of her foot. She lost her balance and fell on the floor.
"Ugh… what…"
What did she trip over? Uh, wait a minute, why her legs can't move?
Marilyn looked down at her immovable legs.
A pointed spear blade protruded through the back of her foot.
'uh…? Why is this here…?'
She had ignored goblins as stupid creatures. Of course, she thought there would be no traps, so she stepped on the spear blades the goblins had tinkered on the floor.
And pain always comes after recognizing the wound.
"Aaaaaah!"
For the first time in her life, she felt the pain of raw tearing of flesh.
Marilyn could not withstand and screamed.
– Kihehehehehe!!!
The goblins, who had been running wildly before, giggled when they saw Marilyn's appearance. And slowly approached her.
"Fuck off! Oh, don't come! Don't come!"
Marilyn drew out her bow and tried to nock an arrow. But there's no way she could target an arrow with those trembling hands.
The goblins kept getting closer.
'What should I do… What should I do…'
She was full of confidence until the chase begin, but now she was afraid than anything of only these five goblins.
'Who, someone…"
"Marilyn!"
Samuel, Tom and Gemina arrived at just the right time. Marilyn's expression brightened.
"Y, You okay… your feet…?!"
"I… I'm fine, those goblins! Kill the goblins first!"
Marilyn pointed at the goblins with a bloody finger. Samuel nodded his head and clenched his shield and sword strongly.
"Dare you buggers…"
Samuel trudged towards the goblins.
The five goblins did not run away. They smiled more creepily than before.
Gemina felt something strange about it.
"Oppa! Stop there's…!"
It got late.
Thum!
Samuel was hit from the side by something heavy and rolled on the floor.
""Oppa!""
"Samuel hyung!"
"I'm okay!"
Samuel grabbed his aching side and barely got up. And he looked in the direction from where he was hit.
A goblin appeared from the dark shadow.
Although he was still short, his body was much larger than that of ordinary goblins, and the club he was holding was thicker than the others.
Samuel knew the identity of that goblin.
"Hobgoblin!"
Hobgoblins, a type of mutated goblins.
Hobgoblins are known for their strength and stamina that surpasses way more than those of ordinary goblins.
Samuel held out his shield forward and took a stance.
It's unreasonable for his younger siblings who started working as adventurers for the first time today to handle this situation. Today, he was determined to fight this Hobgoblin with his real skills…
"Behind you!"
"What?"
Samuel quickly turned back.
A large club was coming down towards his head, he hastily managed to block it with his shield. But rolling down the floor unsightly was unavoidable.
"Ugh… two Hobgoblins… what is this…"
It's usually hard to find even one.
Without some badsh!t luck, it wouldn't be like this.
Since this is the case, Tom and Gemina would be in charge of one, and in the meantime, I…
"O, Oppa… these two are n-not the end…"
Gemina's trembling voice sounded.
"What?"
Samuel immediately swung his torch and looked around. Red eyes visible from behind the pitch black darkness. The goblins had crowded them.
'Damn… it's impossible to play against this number. We now have no choice but to carry Marilyn… and run away…'
Samuel turned his back.
He couldn't help but get throat-stuck at the scenery in front of me.
Two new Hobgoblins had appeared and blocked their paths.
– Hee hee hee hee hee!!!
– Hee hee hee hee!
– Chihi chiiie hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!!!
Goblins laughed at the stupid humans.
How can they not laugh at the pigs who have entered the slaughterhouse on their will?
How could they not laugh at the foolish prey that mistook itself for being a hunter?
The crescent-shaped red eyes that were clearly visible even in the dark, and the laughter of goblins echoing through the cave.
The four pitiful adventurers trembled in fear.
They believed that one day they would grow into outstanding adventurers. So, from childhood, they listened only to the stories of successful adventurers, and so the stories of adventurers who were killed by monsters were left out.
Because they thought it had nothing to do with their life.
But death always comes suddenly.
Now it was their turn to become the protagonist of the pitiful story of four people who looked down on the goblins and were killed and eaten instead.
…if only there wasn't one more person here.
-Sliik!
The blade pierced the Hobgoblin's chest that was blocking the entrance.
-Kihee… Heh…?
A hobgoblin who was laughing, stilled and died.
As Cloud drew back his sword, the Hobgoblin slumped down forward.
-Kiie..? Kii Kii?
The Hobgoblin next to him jumped and smashed the club hard. Cloud turned his body dodgingly to his side to avoid it, then extended his sword forward.
As before, his sword pierced the Hobgoblin's heart.
He kicked the Hobgoblin away with his feet and violently drew out his sword. He said as he swung his sword violently, splashing the blood from the rupture.
"Look at this. I told you guys, they are not stupid."
Cloud moved his gaze without hesitation into the darkness full of red eyes.

Chapter 8.1: Hero, Once Again (4)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
Translator: Lore_Temple
– Kuckh…..
– Haa…haah….
Samuel while carrying Marilyn was sprinting towards the exit of the cave. He was followed by Gemina and Tom.
"Agh…."
Every time the soles of her feet swayed violently, Marilyn groaned.
"Hold on, Marilyn. We are almost out."
The cave was large, but not very deep.
If they continue running like this, they will definitely soon see the exit.
As Samuel had expected, after running for a while longer, he saw the boundary between the cave and the sunlight. Even after whizzing out of the cave, Samuel didn't stop running.
He only stopped his sprint after he reached the clear forest bushes in front of the cave.
"Samuel, why did you stop?!"
"We have to stop Marilyn's bleeding. Better to treat now. Otherwise, she will grievously suffer later."
He had once seen an adventurer who suffered from sickness for a whole week just because of a shallow cut.
As his condition worsened, he had to visit the priest, who said that his wound was infected. As per what he knew, the priest advised that it is better to treat the wound when it occurs, unless you carry a potion or can use a heal.
And Marilyn's wounds were much worse than that adventurer at that time.
Even if there was a risk of being pursued, it was better to deal with it quickly right now.
Samuel took out the pestled herbs and a bandage out of his bag. The pestled herbs were applied evenly on the wound as he rounded the bandage.
Meanwhile, Gemina and Tom looked back at the cave.
"…brother. Will Mr. Cloud be fine? Shouldn't we be on his side now?"
"Yes, bro. He's a B grade. He killed those two hobgoblins prats so easily. With our help, we all can definitely kill all those goblins."
Gemina and Tom urged Samuel, who was doing the first aid.
It's because they both felt guilty for running away, leaving Cloud inside.
But Samuel said sternly.
"No way. You guys just saw the number of those goblins, didn't you? Going in there is suicide."
"But…"
"No buts! I said no!"
When Samuel shouted, Gemina and Tom, as well as Marilyn, who was being treated quietly, flinched in surprise.
Seeing that reaction, Samuel sighed deeply.
"Yes. As you said, Tom, Mr. Cloud took out the two hobgoblins in an instant. But that's because there was an element of surprise in the mix. If dozens of goblins rush together on you, no matter which B-class adventurer it is, there is no other end result."
"That's why we have to help quickly before..!"
"What if we go? What can we even do?"
Tom and Gemina's mouths shut closed at the words that stabbed right through the core.
Except for the wounded Marilyn, there were the only three who still had the ability to fight.
But…
They are only two novice adventurers who have received their first quest today and a D-class adventurer who has just climbed the rankings.
They didn't have the power to change the unfavorable battle situation.
Tom and Gemina bowed their heads, feeling helpless and guilty.
After fastening the knots of the bandage, Samuel patted Tom and Gemina on the shoulder.
"Don't feel guilty. Even though we all could have run away together, unfortunately, only we were able to run away. It's the destiny's choice, not our…"
Samuel couldn't finish his speech.
Because he saw someone coming out of the cave.
At first he thought it was a goblin.
However, the figure's height, which was revealed belatedly, was too big to be that of a goblin's.
"Brother?"
Surprised by Samuel's sudden pause, Tom and Gemina also turned their heads.
—both to be left frozen.
"What happened? What is it? Is it a goblin?"
Marilyn leaned up against the tree and struggled to get up. She turned her gaze to where they were looking with a hardened look.
Her pupils dilated.
It wasn't a goblin that came out of the cave, it was Cloud. He calmly sauntered out with four hobgoblin heads in his hands. He turned his head and looked around, and when he saw them, he approached with a bright smirk.
"I thought you ran away, so guys still here? Great. Come on, take one of the heads each, carry it for me."
Cloud held out the hobgoblin heads he was holding in his arms to the three uninjured people.
But the three of them just looked at Cloud with blank expressions.
"What are you doing, not picking it? Mah man, to be honest, if you dudes still have a conscience, be of some help."
Cloud grunted, but his words couldn't reach the heads of the three. Their heads were full of question marks.
"How..?"
"Yes?"
"How did you get out?"
Samuel's voice was laced with unbelievable absurdity.
Cloud tilted his head and said as if it was all natural.
"I came out because I killed them all. What else do I had to do?"
"What b…"
–'bullshit..?'
The words reached his throat, but he had no choice but to swallow them back.
Cloud's figure that came out of the cave was bathed in dark red blood.
Common sense is that there is no way humans can survive after that much blood loss, so it was reasonable to think that it was the blood of those goblin bastards.
'…He really killed them all?'
So many goblins?
'…..'
He is a B-grade adventurer?
"…I'll have to check it out."
Samuel ran towards the cave.
"Brother?!"
"Brother!?"
"Wait, I'm coming too!"
"Hey you! My god, I just told you to carry some heads, why are you running now? Gosh."
He ignored the sounds coming from behind. Samuel wanted to make sure that Cloud's words were true, so he ran without stopping.
And he was able to find it.
Four headless hobgoblin corpses and dozens of goblin corpses lying strewn on the floor.
Everything he said was true.
"Brother! Where were you running like that… hiik?!"
Jemina, who followed, leaked a startled voice.
And, so did Tom and Marilyn, who arrived a little later.
The scene where the intestines, severed limbs, and corpses were scattered disorderly was blant horrific.
The three remained silent frozen, until Cloud arrived.
"What the, what loots are you expecting to pick up from these penniless goblins? There's nothing to salvage here, so rather carry these hobgoblin heads."
Cloud's voice came from behind.
Samuel didn't look back.
'You crazy guild bastards. That's a B-class adventurer, huh…'
It was when he couldn't overcome his fear and closed his eyes.
"Excuse me…"
Marilyn's voice was heard.
Samuel felt his heart sink. In his mind, the image of Marilyn, who was particularly prickly to Cloud popped up.
'Oh fuck, no Marilyn! Don't offend him! Otherwise we all are fucked up big!'
Samuel jerked his head in a hurry.
He was going to run quickly and close Marilyn's mouth…
"Sir, I'm sorry…"
There was no need for that.
Because Marilyn was bowing her head and apologizing to Cloud while being supported by Tom.
"Yes?"
"T, That, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked like that. It's my mistake to fall into a trap while running because I-I got needlessly excited, and to run away from the group… I'm sorry… I won't do that ever again…sorry, I'm sorry…"
Samuel looked at Marilyn's face with her head bowed. She was weeping with her face etched with a horribly terrified expression.
* * *
There were no hobgoblins in the objectives of the quest that Samuel and his party had received. There was no mention of dozens of goblins either.
Therefore, as soon as Samuel returned to the city, he had to report the anomaly to the head of the guild's branch.
"Then I'll take my leave."
"Go back carefully."
After completing the report, Samuel bowed his head once and left the waiting room. Seeing him leave, Walter sighed heavily, burying his back into his chair.
"What do you think?"
Walter asked his secretary, Rickel, who was standing next to him.
"What exactly, sir?"
"Just now, what that kid said. Does it sound real?"
"I checked the money ledger, the hobgoblin heads are real. They exchanged four heads for money."
"All right…"
Walter closed his eyes for a moment and pondered at what that kid had said earlier.
–I thought the first two kills were just a surprise attack. Anyway, the escape route was cleared, so I carried Marilyn and tried to run away. But… Mr. Cloud didn't intend to run away, instead he walked towards the goblin horde. Bewildered, I wondered if he had gone crazy. How are you going to handle those number?
–Yes, we left him and ran away.
–Even if you curse me for being cowardly, I can't help it. I wanted to live.
–It was while hiding among the bushes in front of the cave, while giving first aid to Marilyn's feet.
–…A figure appeared in front of the cave, it was him, who had appeared.
–Yes, that's right. It was Mr. Cloud.
–Bathed in blood, his whole body in dark red, there were almost no wounds except for a few scratches.
–When I asked what happened, he lightly said, that he just got it all…
–At first I thought it was total bullshit… but when I went into the cave and checked, I had no choice but to admit that what Mr. Cloud was saying was true.
–Hobgoblins and dozens of goblins were killed, they were horribly dead.
Samuel shook his head, saying he didn't want to remember more than that. He had ran away, so he didn't see how they fought either.
–I could only guess that he had won overwhelmingly, seeing his comfortable condition and the gruesome scene, haah.
"Branch Chief. Is it possible to kill four hobgoblins and dozens of goblins alone, by a B-class at that?"
"Impossible."
It's just not as easy as one-on-one battles.
Because every time you attack one, multiple other attacks will come at you, on the same time.
It was for that reason that the adventurers did not move alone, but organized a party.
Unless you have an overwhelming advantageous power gap, single against countless is a no brainer.
Not like the case that happened now.
Level 17.
A level similar to the guards of any kingdom's city after dingling for some time in their jobs.
Cannot be said to be weak, but it was ambiguously wrong to say it was strong either.
Of course, it was definitely stronger than a hobgoblin, which are at the most, something like level 10.
One might even be able to fight two of them alone.
But dealing against them with dozens of other goblins in the frey is another story.
If everyone had been able to do that so easily, the continent wouldn't have been rotten by the rampaging monsters, and the Adventurer's Guild wouldn't have been formed.
"If it's an ordinary B-class, that is."
But Cloud did it.
—he's no ordinary B-class adventurer.

Chapter 8.2: Hero, Once Again (4)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
"Then, sir, you are saying that he is not normal?"
"Yes. My guess is that this friend must have been systematically trained by someone. After hard training, he must have come out to experience the outside world. That's probably why the level is so low."
"Sir, by being systematically trained, you mean…?"
At Rickel's questioning tone, Walter shrugged.
"If anyone could do such a thing, who could it be other than a knight?"
Knight.
A humanoid weapon that is raised by the virtue of all kinds of hard work and systematic training since childhood.
They do not depend on level.
They fill that level gap with absolute skill.
They are not bound by numbers.
And, they are overwhelmingly strong.
Rickel swallowed his saliva with a nervous expression at the word knight.
"Knight… Then, shouldn't Mr. Cloud's rank be increased?"
"It's all right, just leave it alone. Most probably, he wouldn't like that kind of perk. Just change the evaluation a bit. So that he can raise his rank any time he wants."
"…Yeah, sir."
"Then go out and do the work. I'll sit down and think for a while."
After Rickel left the reception room, Walter recalled his first meeting with Cloud.
'Somehow, even though he was young, his momentum was extraordinary.'
'…He was playing in a whole different world than me, all the time.'
Walter smiled, but then he suddenly remembered what he had done.
Everything from preemption to using grip to pressuring tone of voice.
'…Maybe, he wouldn't hold grudges, right?'
A drop of cold sweat ran down his back.
* * *
Killing the goblins allowed me to understand how the level system here works.
'It severs the soul.'
It cleaves the soul of the dead by a little and get's absorbed into the body of the opponent. When more than a certain number of souls accumulate in the body, the body is strengthened.
So, mowing and absorbing the soul is what everyone calls experience, and accumulating them upto a certain extent to make the body stronger—is called leveling up.
So, what to do next was simple.
Just kill all kinds of monsters at random and level up. After I've leveled up to a certain extent, I can leave to farm for equipments.
But before that, there's something more to be done.
"Welcome. Are you here to join the swordsmanship guild?"
The place I was currently visiting was the Swordsmanship Guild, a place that taught swordsmanship by paying money, just like in the game.
"No, I'm just here to learn."
'Probably, the being that pulled me here—is very likely not to know who actually am I.'
If it had known, it wouldn't have thought of bringing him to his dimension.
Of course, unless it's really crazy.
'So, that guy probably thinks of me as some kind of wasted game obsessed freak who has played a damn lot of games.'
Then shouldn't we act accordingly?
Well… one day I'll may be forced to use my skills from the old world.
But if that doesn't happen, there's no need to step forward and show my bottom line.
So that's why, I came to the Swordsmanship Guild to learn the skills of this world.
As for the skit against goblins—it was simply a matter of looking, dodging, and stabbing, but the next time I meet someone harder, it may lead up to showing some real skills.
"Learning is also good choice! Our swordsmanship guild is always open to anyone who wants to learn. However, learning, uhm, always costs money…"
I took out a money bag containing 2500 gold and showed it to him.
2000 gold is the money left over after giving Lina 3000 gold last time, and 500 gold is the money earned from the last goblin quest. Originally, 500 gold was to be divided among five people, but Samuel refused to take it, so, in the end I had all of it.
While looking at the heavy money bag in my hand, the person showed a happy expression.
"You are eligible to learn. Follow me. I will guide you to the master."
I followed him as he guided me inside.
From inside the guild, the sound of metal bumping didn't stop, it seemed that the guild members were practicing with each other.
"Master, someone is here."
He said as he opened the back door of the guild.
Passing through the back door, I saw the guild's hall enclosed by white walls. There, about six people were following the movements of a middle-aged man.
The man who guided me walked towards that middle-aged man.
"Master Riek."
"What's going on, Jack? Can't you see I'm busy?"
"A visitor has come to learn."
"Oh? Let's see. Are you the customer?"
The middle-aged man wiped his sweat and looked at me. I nodded, and the middle-aged looked at the six continuing their training and ordered:
"I'll be leaving for a while. Don't stop, keep repeating from style one to eight until I come back."
-Yes!
"You. Follow me."
The middle-aged man led me into a side room. Even though it was not as big as the guild's hall, there was enough space to swing around a sword, although not as freely as the hall.
"What do you want to learn?"
"What do you teach?"
"Double Sword Strike for three hundred gold. Parrying for five hundred gold. Wolf Buster for a thousand gold."
It's the same as the game system.
"Then I will learn all of that."
My words made the master's eyebrows twitch.
"You want to learn everything?"
"Yes. Don't worry, I have enough money. Then, please show the demonstration."
I threw the money bag minus 700 gold to the instructor.
* * *
Riek.
By the time he approached the age of fifty, he was a wandering knight who had been wandering the continent from when he was young.
Nobles and official knights looked at him and still ignored him, saying that even with a horse—he was nothing more than a wandering knight or a rootless mercenary, but he has always been proud of his one possession—his swordsmanship.
He wasn't in a good mood right now.
It was because of the ballsy kid who came up earlier as a guest this time.
Just by looking at his thin figure with those twig like arms, you would know that he must have been born in a well-to-do rich family.
That's why he could issue such an arrogant declaration.
'Are you going to learn everything? Ha ha..! You wankers think that all you need is money…'
That's why these privileged buggers could never make it.
They all thought that handling a sword was as easy as plucking flowers while lying on their big and soft beds.
The reality is that, to master it—you have to work hard enough until your hands are filled with calluses, and practice until you cannot move an inch of your body.
'But… I still have to make money.'
Maintaining a guild costs money, it's a matter of course.
That was the reason why he, who held a strong pride in his sword, couldn't kick out such a cheeky bastard.
He smiled laboriously and handed the wooden sword to Cloud.
"Yes. It's good to learn everything. So, let's start with the Double Sword Strike."
Riek took a stance with a wooden sword. He immediately swung his sword with a little tilt.
"Ha!"
A wooden sword swung toward the top.
As he twisted his wrist, the wooden sword stretched in the opposite direction to the direction in which it was previously swung, coming right back at a greater velocity.
It used the movement of the wrist to attack twice at high speed. Of course, the power is slightly lower than normal, but the advantage of being able to attack twice in a short time is the focus of Double Sword Strike.
He looked at Cloud with a triumphant expression.
'Perhaps he didn't even see it properly.'
For a beginner who doesn't know how it's done, it'll feel like something has come and gone in blink of an eye.
"Can I try it?"
"Of course."
Cloud took the exact same posture that Riek had taken earlier. Seeing that, Riek internally laughed by himself.
'How's it possible to learn with just one look? I had to practice it for a whole week back then to…'
Shoo! Shoo!
—the sound of crackling of wind.
Riek's mouth fell wide open. Because Cloud followed Riek's movements in the same exact manner.
'No… H, How at once, that…'
To Riek who was left bewildered, Cloud spoke calmly.
"Is it okay?"
"Uh? Uh-huh… well… well done."
"Then show me the next technique."
"Yeah, it should be."
Riek raised his wooden sword.
Definitely, he is a guy who knows how to use a sword, no doubt.
But this one won't be easy.
"Parrying is letting the opponent's attack flow in the other direction. It is meaningful in that it not only cuts off the opponent's attack, but also creates a gap. Try swinging your sword at me once."
Cloud swung his wooden sword towards Riek. Riek directed off Cloud's attack with his sword.
"This is called parrying."
"Well, parrying is something that can only be done if you are skilled, beginners are better off hitting sideways rather than parrying it."
"I see."
"It would be better to try it yourself than to just see it. I will swing my sword at you. Take a good look at it and try to parry me."
Riek slashed his wooden sword at Cloud, who had taken his stance. It contained power beyond what was needed to teach parrying.
'Let's see if you can do it once again!'
It was because such a childish thought had taken hold in Riek's head.
Seeing Riek's sword attack, Cloud moved. When Riek felt something, his wooden sword was already hitting the ground.
'Uh…?'
Without hesitation, Cloud continued.
"Teach me the next technique."
"…"
In the end, Cloud learned all the three techniques in less than 10 minutes and went back the exact day.
After he returned, Riek had to receive the puzzled eyes of his disciples as to why he had returned so early.
—A hefty bonus on the already big crack on a certain someone's pride.

If it had known, it wouldn't have thought of bringing him to his dimension.
Of course, unless it's really crazy.
It either looks like the MC was reincarnated onto Earth from a fantasy world with memories intact, or he was some crazy strong mercenary type fella.
Or a guy that has trained in the military as he is from south Korea who knows maybe he was a high ranking one or just a really good one

Chapter 9.1: Hero, Once Again (5)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
The 17-year-old Denver is the youngest member of the bandit group occupying the Black Goat Ridge.
As the youngest member of this 'organization', he is solely responsible for all the chores and minor troubles related to other bandits.
But that was all over now.
Why?
Because, a new member joined them today!
"Hey, Denver. Train this new rookie nicely. If this guy later acts like a fool, you would be the one to get a beating."
"Yes!"
"You answer quick, well do it."
A bandit named Nick tapped Denver on the back of his head and entered the hideout. As bad as it may have sounded, Denver's face was full of smiles.
'No, idiot, what are you doing!'
If you smile and laugh in front of the newbie, he may look down on you. Denver erased his smile and looked at the newbie with a serious expression.
'…He's a handsome guy.'
It was the first time he had ever seen a guy with red hair, and that looked good on him too.
Denver, annoyed for nothing, voiced out in a timorous tone.
"Rookie, follow me. I will teach you what to do in the future."
"Yes, big brother."
"Yes..? What did you just say?"
"Yes? Oh, I just said 'yes'."
"No, after that. What did you add?"
"Ah, 'big brother'?"
…!
Big brother. How wonderful it sounded.
Denver trembled tiddly, it was the first ever time he had been addressed as 'big brother' in his entire life.
Denver, who was stunned, looked away as the newcomer looked at him with strange eyes, he quickly coughed in embarrassment.
"Yup, come with me. I will teach you everything that you should now know."
Denver took the newcomer into the living quarters and picked up a broomstick.
"Take."
"Yes."
The newbie received the broom without uttering a single word more. He was originally going to give him a jab if the newbie dared to question his decision, but he seemed to be an actually sensible guy.
"Where should I clean?"
"Whatever we just passed, and all the places where we live."
"You mean all of this?"
"Yes. Start asap."
The newbie started cleaning with the broom. Denver watched and delivered some comments in mean time, and the newcomer would fix it right away.
After he finished brooming, he was also taught to do other chores, such as chopping and laundry.
"Hey you, newbie, you doing better than I thought. Have you ever done this before?"
"Not really. I think I just have a little bit of knack for it, ha ha. Still, it's nothing compared to big bro, you work is the definition of perfection."
"Of course it is. I've been rolling in here for years."
By the time all the chores were done, the two got fairly close. Because the newcomer followed Denver more obediently than he had expected, so he also opened the door to his heart.
"Brother, by the way, isn't it dangerous?"
"Hu? What exactly are you talking about?"
"I was just curious. Don't we get protection fees from the three villages down there? I was wondering if there might be other people who covet it."
"Oh, about that? Yes, of course, we have already bumped with them quite a few many times."
Denver, with shoulder to shoulder along the newcomer, pointed in the direction from where the sun rose.
"There's a group of skeletons freaks over there, those crazy bastards take out the skulls of those who they killed, crazy shit."
This time, he pointed towards the direction where the sun was setting.
"Then, there are those wolf assholes over there who tame and use wild wolves."
"They both sound strong."
"That's right."
Denver turned his head around to make sure it was only the two of them, and continued in a low whisper.
"Originally, there were about seven villages where we used to call the shots, you know? But except for the remaining three, the rest were stolen by those wolf assholes and those skeleton bastards."
"Did we lose the fight?"
"Captain says it's a moderate compromise, but in fact, we were pushed back. Oh right, don't talk about this with anyone else. If it flows into the captain's ears, we both are dead meat."
"Haha, don't worry. I don't have a big mouth."
"Of course, I believe you."
Denver grinned at the newcomer pretending to zip his lips shut. Then, he decided to ask him something he had been curious about all along, since the first time he saw the rookie.
"Hey, but why did you come here?"
"Yes?"
"I was hoping not to ask, but now I can't stand it, I'm curious. With that face, frankly, you can seduce any well-to-do woman, and she will also eagerly pay for your needs, right? Then, why did you came all the way to this place to suffer?"
"Ah, you mean that? Don't ask mate, haash, it's all bad luck."
"Bad luck?"
"Yes. As big brother says, I actually seduced a rich woman, but it turns out that she is not just any rich woman, but a woman from a very prestigious family, you know?"
"Fortunately, I managed to escape due to her help, she lured away her father who in a rage was hell bent on killing me. But after I ran away, I found—I actually had nowhere to go!"
"If I start anew in another city, I will be a goner if that family sends assassins after my poor ass. So I was just wondering if there was any place I could live in until I was forgotten, and what came to my mind was a bandit group."
"God, I'm so envious, you handsome fooker."
Since Denver was born, no women was ever attracted to him, so he was damn envious of the newbie's exploits.
"So why did you become a bandit?"
"Me? For me it's a simpler reason than your's. Our family was poor, it got torn apart. So my parents sold me for three rabbits."
"Only three rabbits?"
"Ugh. B, Because there were many children besides me. Anyway, I was caught in a cage and dragged away, but luckily I got a chance and escaped. And somehow, I came this far."
"…you've lived a harder life than I thought, big bro."
"Hey, you pitying me now, you lil punk, hah? Holy shit, imma getting goosebumps because of you."
"Hey! Denver and the newbie! It's your turn. Come in!"
While the two of them were peeling potatoes, a bald bandit suddenly shouted from inside the hideout. Hearing that, Denver clenched his fists and shook it in the air.
"At last!"
"What is our turn?"
"You will know when you arrive. Let's go~!"
Denver whistled and literally flew into the living quarters.
The newcomer followed in his footsteps.
Denver headed for the innermost room of the living quarters.
A muscular gigantic man stood guard in front of the door.
"Denver and your rookie, hm. Go in."
"Yesh, Mark!"
Denver rushed into the room like flowing breeze, and the newcomer followed.
There was absolutely nothing in the room.
—Except for a haggard woman staring blankly at the floor with unfocused eyes.
"Brother, this is…"
"Oh man, that's crazy…"
Denver sighed deeply.
"What is?"
"Bloody hell, just look at her. Look at this woman's condition. Does she looks alright to you?"
"I don't think so."
"That's right. She has atleast been played around for a year. Haa, we have a new recruit too, how nice it would been if they gave us a girl who has been eaten less. Aw fuck, why don't we just call it quits and run over to those skeletons or wolves? I heard recently, there are a lot of new batches of fresh girls there. Blame my shitty luck."
Denver groaned and laid down the woman on the floor. The woman did not resist. She just stared at the ceiling with her hazy eyes.
"Where do you get these women from?"
"Why do we need to get her, uh? There are those three villages down there, right? They give it to us."
"They, give it?"
"Yeah, there are times when they can't pay the protection fees on time because of poor crop harvest or something? Then, instead of protection fees, they give us these women."
"What if they refuse and try to be stubborn?"
"Even if they try to hold on with the fees. Just go and turn it all over once, see if they don't get down on their knees and beg for forgiveness. Then pick a few pretty bitches and bring them back. Are you just keep gonna talking? How are you not interested?"
"I'm good. Big brother can enjoy it all for himself."
"Oh my gosh, a woman like this doesn't even qualify to catch your eyes, is this? Anyway, it's different for me anyway, too different."
Denver grunted and loosened his pants. He proceed to take off his pants and spoke to the newcomer who was about to leave, as if he had forgotten something.
"By the way, I forgot to ask for your name. Come on, how did I even forgot this? Hey, rookie. What's your name?"
The newcomer paused for a moment, then turned around and answered.
"Cloud, it's Cloud."

Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
Late at night.
Denver woke up. He tossed and turned a few times trying to get back to sleep, but he couldn't.
"…I should go and pee."
Denver stood up and tried to go out…
"Oh, you woke up."
Cloud made eye contact with him.
"…Hey. W, What are you d-doing?"
"Yes?"
"What the fuck are you doing!?"
If it was simply making eye contact with Cloud, there was no problem in it.
Cloud, however, had the sword he was holding in his hand at the bandit's neck sleeping next to Denver.
"God dammit… which dick head's so noisy…"
Swiik-!
"Kuukgh–?!"
As soon as the bandit woke up, he was transpierced directly through the neck.
He died while struggling without even understanding the current situation.
"Y, You, you..!"
Denver looked around.
All the bandits who slept with him in the same room were dead—except for him.
Only then did he notice the smell of blood wafting in the room.
"Shit!"
Denver dashed quickly and pulled out the moon shaped scimitar hanging from the wall.
"Are you nuts?! Do you think you will be able to get back alive after this, you biatch?! You don't know how terrifying our boss is. As long as he comes in person, your b…"
"That fat, tight pig? Ye, he was definitely a tad bit strong. But that was all."
"…What?"
What did that bastard said just now?
Denver didn't understand what Cloud was saying. More like, it was something he desperately didn't want to understand.
Because, the boss was the strongest person he knew his entire life. Cloud spoke as if he had killed such a person. It only meant one thing—he had no way out of this situation.
Tap.
As Cloud took a step forward, the puddle of blood on the floor splattered further.
"Agghhh, don't come."
Tap.
"Don't come, you asshole!"
Tap.
"You, why are you doing this to me… I was good to you!"
Tap.
"I didn't do this because I wanted to! I just, because I wanted to live…! I did it because I wanted to live!"
Tap.
"Don't come… wwhhg… you fuckface!"
Isn't it said, that even a weak mouse when cornered to the end, dares to bite a cat?
But while the mouse may give his all, at the most, it only leaves a small scar on the cat.
And Denver was less than a mouse to Cloud.
Tring-!
The scimitar, which Denver swung with all his might, was deflected by the sword that Cloud twirled lightly.
Denver's body slanted sideways.
—and, Cloud's sword pierced right through his chest.
"Kughk…"
A blade in your heart doesn't mean you will die instantly.
It takes at least a few seconds to die.
And those few seconds were enough to look back into his life and leave some hushed murmurs.
"Mom… Dad…"
Those were Denver's last words.
He was sold by his parents, at a low price of three rabbits, but he still found his parents even at the death's breath.
Cloud had no particular emotions about that.
After pulling out his sword, he simply wiped the blood off the sword.
* * *
"Heuk! Hiik! … I hate it… I hate it…"
A young girl was crying. Normally, when you see someone crying, you might try to soothe her, but no one here did so.
Rather, they became annoyed because it was getting more noisy.
This room, or more appropriately—a cage, situated in the core of bandit hideout.
Not a single ray of light enters the closed room, and the smell of filth coming up from here and there stings one's nose.
'Ah… it's noisy…'
Katie is a woman who has been here for about two years. She may not be the oldest, but she is still a woman who has endured for a long time.
The reason she came here was simple.
The poor harvest plagued her village, and the village, which was incapable of paying the 'protection fee', had to send one of it's women.
At that time when everyone was in trouble, filled with loyalty and fidelity, she raised her hand.
Exclaiming confidently.
–I will go.
Now that she thought about it, that was a crazed decision. A foolish act committed by being caught up in a nonsensical sense of heroism. But even if she regrets it, it doesn't change the reality.
Now, all she can do is to live each and every day with her emotions dying with time.
Without knowing—when she might suddenly end up dying.
"Wooo… Mommy… Daddy…"
There were no signs of stopping—the young girl's desperate sobbing echoed.
Katie leaned back slightly and looked at the crying girl.
'It must be the new kid who came in today.'
—whose virginity will be picked up by that piglet asshole tomorrow night.
'Damn that motherf*cker. That pig bastard rolls so damn hard.'
It's a relief if she only got some bruises, for there were a lot of women who died after suffering from broken bones under that fat-ass.
"Who… someone.. please save me…"
As the girl sobbed, a snicker leaked out of Katie's lips. It was not just her. The other women, who were mumbling in their annoyance, also burst into laughter.
That's because there were times when they were like that too.
Those were the days when they endured each single day, with the hope that someone would save them, rescue them, and take them back.
But, just like their's, this young girl's hope will also not come true.
Why?
First of all, the number of bandits staying in this mountain hideout alone are over thirty. Compared to the villagers who can't even get to eat proper regular meals because of unavailability, these guys ate well and gain weight.
In other words, even if the villagers made up their minds to retaliate, they will not be able to achieve anything.
In addition, the city refuses to send it's soldiers, claiming that the occurrence of monsters have exponentially increased nowadays. In this place where there are relatively few monsters, the influence of bandits is bound to be strong.
Some will say, "Why not collectively fund money and call an adventurer?"
But…
'From where will the poor villagers who can't even pay protection fee find the money to hire a powerful adventurer.'
It's hard and harsh, but that's what we call reality.
The day will come when that new kid will realize it too.
Katie tried to fall asleep, ignoring the girl's anguished wailings.
It was then.
Druck. Druck.
As the pulley went up, the thick stone door that blocked the room and the outside world began to move.
The young girl's cry haulted.
Instead, she looked up at the door with eyes full of hope.
On the other hand, the women who knew the reality only sighed deeply.
"Ugh, so annoying. Which bastard's in heat so early in the morning?"
"Piss off, you brute bastards. If you are one of those losers with small sticks don't disturb me or I will bite off what remains of your small family possessions. Go and skewer each other instead…"
While the women groaned, the stone door was completely opened.
In between the dim light coming through the door, he stood tall, a handsome young man.
'…If it's him, no would have any problem even if it's early morning, hah? Eh? But was there such a man among the bandit bastards?'
A question that suddenly came to her mind.
Something started tickling inside her chest.
It was something she had given up and abandoned long ago.
Katie tried to ignore it.
She didn't want to be betrayed by her expectations again.
It's a bubbly dream that won't come true, she tried to restrain her heart, trying to remind it of the ruthless reality.
Other women were in a similar situation like Katie.
"H, Hey, that…!"
In the midst of that, it was the woman who was sobbing before. She asked him with an expression of half fright and half hope.
"Did you… come to save us…?"
Gulp.
Some swallowed their saliva.
Some clenched their fists, and some shook their legs.
Pretending not to care—
Pretending to give up—
—In fact, they themselves were the women who were hungry for hope, more than anyone else.
Tuk.
Something was thrown amongst them.
Clothes that were close to rags but could still cover their bodies.
All the eyes focused on that one man.
And, he, the handsome man, Cloud gave them the answer they desperately wanted.
"Get dressed. Time to go home."

Chapter 10.1: Hero, Once Again (6)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
Under Cloud's direction, the women began to wear the clothes he threw. They were more like rags than clothes, but it was much better than being naked.
"When you are all dressed, hold each other's hands. There, the blue-haired woman, what is your name?"
"M, Me? I am Katie-!"
"Then Katie will hold my hand."
As Cloud grabbed her hand, Katie trembled. But she didn't try to pull herself out or shake off his hands. On the contrary, she held his hand more tightly, as if she didn't want to let it go.
"Everyone, close your eyes."
"Eyes…? Why the eyes…"
"There are a lot of things outside that you will get rattled upon seeing. If you really want to see it, I won't stop you, but if you do, you won't be able to swallow your food for a while."
One by one, the women obediently closed their eyes at his words.
"Okay then, we will be moving. Don't panic and follow the person in front of you. I'll walk slowly, so don't be in a hurry. I will surely escort you all back safely, to your homes."
Starting with Cloud, Katie, then the woman holding her hand, and another woman similarly holding her hand, they began to move one after another.
No matter how slowly and steadily you walk, walking with your eyes closed is quite frightening.
Even more when with every step you take, you feel an unpleasant dampness on your soles, and especially if you can guess what it is.
The women clasped each other's hands more tightly.
How long had they walked like this?
Krriik-!
They heard the sound of a large wooden door creaking open, and as they walked out, an exhilarating sense of liberation overtook them.
"You can open your eyes."
The women opened their eyes.
What they saw was not the damp and rusty cage they had been seeing, but countless twinkling stars surrounding the crescent moon as if someone had taken a bite of it.
They all blankly stared at the moon.
"Everyone, we are not at your home yet. The mountain at night is dangerous, so we will be moving carefully. Let go of your hands and follow me."
The dark mountain road outlandished an eerie atmosphere.
The ferocious beasts let out their howls, and the screams of something unknown whether it was a monster or a beast could also be heard clearly.
But the women did not tremble.
As if possessed by something, they just followed Cloud. They didn't know why, but none of them could feel any fear as they walked behind his seemingly tall back.
Exiting the mountains, a path appeared before them.
Upon further walking down the man-made path—
—they saw the clusters of shabby houses surrounded by wooden fences, which would make one too embarrassed to call it something that served as a barrier.
But more than that, they saw it.
—The village.
A place where real people lived, not vicious beasts pretending to be humans.
"Oh goddess…"
A woman burst into tears. Starting with that, the wave of cries spread amongst other women as well.
Even the women who had been confused till now, had realised—
—they were back home.
* * *
When Cloud along with his sobbing group of females entered, the whole village erupted into chaos—tensed on suddenly seeing dozens of people entering the village during early dawn.
But only for a while.
The villagers, realizing who the returnees were, welcomed them with tears.
For the bandits, they were nothing more than playthings at any time of the day. But here, to some they were precious family members, and to others, they were friends with whom they shared memories.
"This favour, really… thank you so much, O respected Adventurer."
Inside a shabby house.
Although it is just a rural village, even so, the village chief—the most influential person in the whole village, was deeply bowing his head.
"It wasn't that difficult. So, pull up your head, old man."
"No, no way. If it wasn't for you, sir, how much more torture these young children would have suffered… I… Thank you so much…"
While the bandits harassed the village women, the villagers were not just standing still.
They had pleaded for help from the unresponsive officials—god knows for how many times, to the point of the old village chief even desperately latching onto a high official's pant without letting go, only to be subdued later, but not to be outdone by circumstances, they even learned sword from a veteran who happened to stop by the village.
However, it seemed impossible to defeat the cruel group of bandits, even if they did everything in their capacity.
So, in the end, he collected money from the villagers and commissioned it to the Adventurer's Guild.
He still remembers, the receptionist had listened to his story, and with a troubled look on her face, she had said that it would probably be impossible at such less amount, but he still held onto that without letting it go—a faint glimmer of hope.
As time passed and even that hope was about to crumble, a B-class adventurer suddenly came to visit.
An adventurer who introduced himself as Cloud.
He took out the familiar quest sheet and said that he had come to subdue the bandits.
The village chief was, of course, extremely happy with it, but he still told him to return back. There's no way a B-class adventurer can handle those vicious bandits alone.
Instead, a precious young life will fly away worthlessly.
Despite all odds, the young man asked for the location of bandit's hideout, and left the village.
And a few days later, this morning—
—He returned safely with the women who had been snatched away.
For the villagers and the village chief, who were not expecting it, it was like a miracle that showered on their doorsteps.
"It's not a lot… but it's the promised commission fee. The villagers have put all of their saved money. It may not be enough to fill sir adventurer's pockets, but please…"
The village chief took out a shabby pouch and handed it to Cloud. Cloud took it and peeked a light look. Gold coins of denunciation one, five and ten were put in together.
Adding it all up, the amount will probably not even go upto 300 gold coins.
Cloud smiled bitterly and returned the pouch back to the village chief.
The village chief's expression got clouded in worries.
"Are you sure it's still not good enough…? Please wait a little bit. I'll go and talk with the people…"
"That's more than enough. So, keep it."
"Yes..?"
"It means I don't care if I'm paid or not."
The village chief could almost not comprehend his absurd words for a moment. An adventurer who doesn't want payment for his job? It's against common sense.
…or if he wants something else, something other than money.
"Well, so, is there anything else you want?"
"Yup. I'll like to take a rest for now. Do you have any spare room available in the village?"
"Yes, there are many empty houses. You can freely enter into any of those houses without a nameplate and take rest."
"Then I will be off for today. Oh, and I'm hungry too, so I'd like you guys to spare me some meal. Come to think of it, I'm quite often missing my meals these days."
"Of course, it should be done."
The old chief nodded his head.
The main turning point will be coming now. The village chief withheld his nervous expression and clutched his cane in a tight grip.
"Thank you for your kindness. I'll just go and take a break. The village chief must also be tired from waking up early in the morning, so please take some rest too."
Cloud got up from his seat and stepped for the door. The village chief blankly looked at the standing figure with a foolish expression. Suddenly, he hastily stopped his thoughts before quickly scampering up on his feet.
"Sir, adventurer! Is there anything else you would like?"
Cloud tilted his head, but soon he smirked knowingly as if knew what the village chief was thinking.
"Ah. Just that."
With those words, Cloud really left the village chief's house. The village chief stared blankly at the spot he had left.
It's a difficult time for everyone.
As the number of monsters are increasing, the burden on the territory is also increasing. Naturally, taxes also keep increasing, and some young men were conscripted and taken away. Due to which, these small villages, which were not very wealthy, were left dying.
And similarly it was difficult for adventurers as well.
Everyone says that adventurers are greedy and that their ships are full of oil, but they are living their day to day lives too.
It is the money they earn by risking their one and only life.
Because of this, there are not many adventurers who compromise on money, if not otherwise.
The village chief, who has been living in the world for a long time, knew this very well.
And he briefly got to personally know the first one today.
An adventurer who defeats ferocious bandits and rescues women, and is satisfied with just a single bed and a simple meal.
"At this age… you idiot."
The village chief wiped the droplets from his eyes with his wrinkled hands. If you cry at this age, people will laugh. So instead of weeping, he decided to remember it clearly.
The five letters of the name—Cloud.

Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
-Knock! Knock!
Knocking sounded on the door.
-Come in.
With the permission to enter, the door opened and Katie entered through the door. Cloud who was sitting on the bed, disarming himself, looked at her.
"Mr. Cloud, we couldn't prepare anything special… but we did your best, here's your meal."
Katie's tray was topped with bread, soup, and broiled chicken. As she said, there was nothing extraordinarily special, but it was the best that a poor village could have prepared by all their heart.
"Thank you. It looks delicious."
Cloud accepted the tray.
To be honest, it didn't look like it would be delicious, but sincerity has to be accepted. He took a spoonful of soup and brought to his mouth.
'…I miss Lina's skewers.'
It's been so long since he had one, to point of desperately missing her already.
Cloud grumbled inwardly and started eating.
Katie looked at Cloud like that quietly, then suddenly she opened her heavy lips.
"Mr. Adventurer… Thank you for saving us…"
Gratitude was interrupted by the weeping that wetted her throat. Even until now, she couldn't undertake the fact that she was back home, to live a brand new life. Meeting Cloud again and thanking him personally made her believe the present reality.
But, humans are innately insatiable.
It's a person who you rescue from drowning, they will ask you to fetch a bundle that was washed away too.
"Why… why… I…"
There was a young girl who was caught today.
She hoped for salvation, and then she was saved. What happened to her tonight will be a happy memory she will never forget for the rest of her life.
When she gets married and gives birth to her children, she can tell her tales with a gratifying smile to her children of her own salvation.
That's good thing.
That's indeed a good thing…
But….
Why only that girl?
Why is she the only girl that can be saved?
What about me?
She was much more desperate and miserable than that girl. Even though she couldn't eat or sleep, she prayed all the time, so… why didn't she get saved?
"A little earlier…"
Katie, who had said that far, covered her mouth in surprise. Unable to look at Cloud, she hurriedly shook her head.
"Oh, no, no. What the heck was I even trying to say…"
What the hell did she just say that?
Asking him to have arrived earlier? To save her?
Isn't that foolishly unreasonable?
This man has neither has any obligation nor any responsibility to save her. It was in good faith that she received this favour—to be saved. How can she become so greed and selfish, huh?
"I… I just wanted to say thank you. Sorry for the weird mumblings. I will be going, bye–!"
She rushed to get out of the house. She was so ashamed of herself that she could not bear to stand here. Just then—Cloud grabbed her wrist.
He grabbed her and pulled her—holding her into his arms.
"H, Huh? Mr. Cloud..?"
Kate mumbled in panic.
Cloud gently stroked her hair like that and spoke in a gentle tone.
"It was very difficult, wasn't it?"
"…."
"I am so sorry that I was late. I couldn't save you any sooner because of my lack of abilities."
"Oh, no, no. There is nothing, Mr. Adventurer didn't… wrong. This is… so… just…"
His embrace was so warm that she accepted it with mere absurdity. The warmth she hadn't felt in a long time melted Katie's sad feelings.
With tears in her eyes, she talked about the hardships she had gone through.
Her weeping voice mixed with her light murmurs made it hard to comprehend her words.
But Cloud seemed to understand, and he comforted her by stroking her head.
The time passed like that.
Eventually, Katie stopped crying. Even so, she was still in Cloud's arms.
His arms were so warm that she didn't want to let go.
After licking her lips a few times, she whispered to Cloud.
"Mr. Cloud…"
"Why is it, Katie?"
"It's… It's… If it's okay with Mr. Cloud… May I sleep here tonight…?"
Finishing her words, Katie hurriedly clinched her eyes. Because she didn't have the confidence to see Cloud's reaction.
After a moment of silence, Cloud spoke in the same gentle tone as before.
"Katie, even with all that what happened, cherish yourself a little more. You deserve it."
His words were tender-sweet and caring to her.
But Katie knew. That it was a gentleman's way of refusal.
"Is that so…"
"Yes. One day, when you will meet someone who cherishes you, give that person what you cherish."
"I will. But… is it okay for me, to be like this for a while longer?"
"If it's a beauty like Katie, it's everytime welcome."
Liar.
Katie smiled and rested her head a little more comfortably on Cloud's shoulder.
* * *
"So, did you two…?"
One of the women who was sharing the living quarters with Katie asked. After leaving the house where Cloud was staying, she was soon dragged by them.
"What did?"
"Huh? What, weren't you two sharing a good vibe?"
"…Did you peek?"
At Katie's bloody expression, the startled woman quickly fluttered her hand.
"Only until Mr. Adventurer was comforting the crying you on his shoulders! I didn't see anything after that!"
"You sneak peeker!"
Katie rushed at the lady. The other woman giggled while the two of them engaged in a mock fistfight.
"I can't believe you didn't… That's too bad"
"What so?"
"If you said you did, I was going to visit him the next day."
"Wait, what..?"
"Why? Mr. Cloud is so handsome! He's not only so kind and gentle but is also a man of ability! As soon as I drop by, once I show my skills…"
"Ha! Like you can satisfy anyone with your poor skills? It should be about the size of my waist…"
"Hey, you crazy b*tches, don't let me get you!"
Katie ran towards the women turning their backs in mid-air.
It seemed that she had to fold the waists of these twitchy prats tonight.
* * *
"Ah, I want to have sex."
After Katie left, I muttered to myself, all alone inside an empty room.
I am not a monk or a saint.
In other words, a man who is strong enough to build a sturdy tent out of his pants every morning.
To be honest, when Katie invited me to sleep earlier, I was, welp, honestly tempted.
A night with a pretty village maiden saved back to the village.
This is the dream of a budding hero!
In the past, I couldn't, because I was conscious of my colleagues, but now I'm alone—without any colleagues!
It doesn't matter if I spend one or even two nights with a girl who consently likes me! There's nothing wrong with that.
But I couldn't.
Why?
What other than that shithousery?! It's because of this fucking bullshit setting!
Did Katie know?
That my little lord got an erection when her breasts touched my body?
She most probably didn't.
Why?
Because even if I had an erection, there was no damn sign!
My pants were damn flat!
That's why Katie must have given up quickly and left. What if she saw a tent pitched on my pants? Temptation would have followed.
"Oh, bollocks."
What's the point of being handsome?
When the real goods are cursed?
I think, even if I fell for the mood earlier and ended up with Katie, the moment she caught this d!ck, she would have ended up laughing without realizing it, and the atmosphere would have been totally ruined.
After a while, the rumors may spread.
That—
—Cloud is a lil' green chilli.
"Damn it… I need a big tower… a big one…"
Something like a legendary medicine that can make any little manliness grow into a full fledged 18cm just by consuming it!
It does not exist in 'The Hero's Party'—but it appears in its sequel, 'The Tale Of A Knight's Affair'.
And since the two games share the same worldview, it must exist on this continent as well.
"Level up… Farming… Big tower…"
Plan. Establishment. Completion.
Just wait my 18cm.
This brother's coming!

I don't know about you, but if I gave the opportunity, I would castrate all the male gods, and let them be raped by all the animals contrary to their divinity, and the gods, I would take away any kind of desire, they can't feel anything anymore for everyone always, even if the protagonist hurts and humiliates them, they will only be dolls without reactions, playing gorr after all they played with the protagonist's poor little brother

Well. I certainly wouldn't f#ck some women who were banged by a group of bandits with unknown diseases without condom. It's just disgusting and not worth it to get some airs or shit because you're a little horny.

Chapter 11: Well, Let's Do Well With The Same Protagonist (1)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
"Have you heard those rumors?"
"What rumors?"
"What, you don't know? There's an adventurer who wanders around from village to village and hunts down bandits and monsters."
Two men were drinking ale at the inn, the one with the shaggy beard said.
"He must be an adventurer who is particularly obsessed with money, a money grubber, nothing new."
"If you listen to the rumors, that's quite opposite of the case. Some villages even said that he refused to accept even a single penny."
"An adventurer who refuses money? What the, man, and you believe 'em? I'd rather be a dog stop pooping."
"It's true. Uncle Zod, you may not know it because you travel so much, but they are too many to be only simple rumors. Here, two ales as you ordered."
Emily, the waitress at the inn, placed two glasses of ale between them. At that, Zod burst out laughing.
"Is that so? Okay, then, let's hear the name of this so angelic adventurer."
"Uh….. yeah! It's Cloud. Adventurer Cloud!"
"Cloud? Where did I heard that name…"
Zod tapped his head with his finger, in thought.
"Look, you've already heard the rumors too."
"No, no…. Ah! Yes, it seems that Cloud was among the names of the heroes announced by the Empire last time."
"Hero? Whoa, haha! Yo, dude! That's one hella of a big shot, does it seems like he will be hunting bandits in a rag-tag place like this?"
"Bah, who said he was a hero? They just have the same name."
"Still, I think it would be so cool if he actually was actually the hero. A honorable hero who moves for the people under incognito."
"Emily, aren't you quite older, still reading fairy tales, eh?"
Emily frowned as she watched Zod giggle.
It was when she was about to say something.
"Take order here!"
The inn door opened and a man entered.
"Yes, welcome…"
Emily's smile hardened as she moved to welcome the new guest with a smile.
Her trembling pupils were filled with fear.
"Emily! Long time no see!"
The man who had just entered the inn smiled broadly.
However, the smile of the man with a bloody craze emanated by those hideous scars only made the atmosphere appear frozen.
"Ah… ha ha, yes. Long time no see, Mr. Calix…"
"What, Emily doesn't seem to like me?"
"Oh, no, no. How could it be? Mr. Calix, there's an empty seat over there, so please be seated."
The direction Emily was pointing at was the table next to the quiet man in hood who was peacefully drinking his soup.
Calix sat on the seat Emily pointed to and draped his shoulders over the chair.
"Anything you would like to order…?"
She appeared to be panic-stricken—Emily, who was bubbly when dealing with the two uncles, looked withdrawn when dealing with Calix.
Calix smirked as if he found it funny, and patted the own table.
"I can't hear you very well. Come closer and talk to me."
"Oh, sorry. I'll talk louder. Anything you would like to order…"
"Aren't you coming, eh?"
As Calix frowned at her, Emily shivered and walked closer as he told her to.
"Yeah, it's nice when you do what you're told to. There is no need for me to get angry then."
His rough hand caressed Emily's shoulder. It was an unpleasant feeling, but Emily clenched her teeth and held back.
Seeing this, Zod tried to stand up from his chair as if he couldn't take it any longer—only for his party member to hold him back at the spur of the moment.
"I know what you're trying to do, but hang in there, dude."
"Don't be a pus*y! Are you seriously asking me to stay back after seeing a sight like this?"
"He's the younger brother of the One-Eyed Bandits' leader located right next to the town. If you touch him, the town will be layed waste!"
"That motherf*cker…"
Zod bit his teeth.
As his friend said, if that guy is the younger brother of the bandit groups' leader, he can't attack him recklessly.
It's impossible to win, and even if he wins, bandits will come to loot the town using revenge as an excuse.
Because of this, Zod had to watch Emily, whom he had been seeing since her childhood, be harassed by Calix in front of his own eyes.
"Why don't you come with me? You will be treated much better than here."
"I've told you several times, I'm fine. So stop…"
A scuffle broke out between Calix, who tried to force Emily to sit next to him, and Emily, who resisted against him.
Eventually, Emily resistance became fierce, and she accidentally knocked on the table next to her.
As a result, the soup the customer next to her was drinking spilled on her floor.
"Ah! I'm sorry, sir. I'll get you a new one right away."
"Where are you going?! I told you to sit here!"
"What are doing–! I have to bring the new soup for this sir right now."
"What a triffle… Hey, bro. Wouldn't you like to bring your soup by yourself, eh?"
"…"
"What… Shouldn't you be answering to me by now, ha?"
When he didn't answer again—Calix got pissed as he had been bluntly ignored, frowned and banged his hand on the table.
"Hey you bastard, when I say answer—"
A sharp dagger pierced through the back of Calix's hand.
"Aaaah! You motherf—"
Perhaps that alone was not enough, the hooded man gave a simple twist to the dagger.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
The flesh was torn and the bones were broken. Unable to bear the pain, Calix plopped to his knees.
The man grabbed Calix by his hair and pulled him up. The man said as he looked at Calix trembling in excruciating pain.
"Friend, I was peacefully having this breakfast, and what a pleasant morning. Although the taste buds were bonking my head, I had to eat, so I ate even this soup of a porridge with honey, what the, even honey, haash…"
"So yeah, as I ate it like that, do you know what I saw? The bottom of the bowl. When I was about to feel the freaking sense of accomplishment that I had finished this eatery, this friend overturned the bowl. But instead of apologizing, this friend got angry? So, can you feel how miserable I'm currently feeling?"
"Heh heh heh… you bastard, do you know who I am?"
Bang!
The man slammed Calix's head on the table.
"Can you feel how miserable I'm feeling?"
"You, you don't know… I…"
Bang!
"Can you feel how miserable I'm feeling?"
"My older brother… of the One-Eyed bandits…"
Bang!
"Can you feel how miserable I'm feeling?"
"M..Moma… woo… aahe, yeah, yeah! You must be very angry."
Calix answered with blood dripping down his forehead.
"I know, right? So what should this friend say to me when I'm angry?"
"That, that…"
Bang!
"What should he say?"
"I'm sorry… I was wrong… I won't do that again…"
"Yesh. If you made a mistake and offended the other person, you should apologize, right? You got the correct answer, good, very good. Now let me stamp it for you."
Bang!!!
Calix, whose head was banged on the table with a force stronger than ever before, passed out as it was.
* * *
"Huh…guugh!"
Calix opened his eyes.
He was lying on the bed, not on the table. His hand, which had been pierced by the dagger, was rolled up in a clean cloth.
"Where is this…"
Calix recalled his last memories before he lost consciousness.
A hooded man who mercilessly hammered his head on the table.
"That bastard..!"
Calix stormed out of the door.
He could see the empty hall of the inn on the first floor. There, Emily and the innkeeper were sitting.
"Oh, are you awake? Your hands are fine…"
"Shut up!"
Calix impetusly kicked the approaching innkeeper. He pointed his finger at the innkeeper who has landed on his butt thumping on the floor and hollered.
"Do you rats think you will get away with this? Hang in there. The moment I go back and tell my brother, this town will be dead meat."
"No, you can't..! Please forgive us for only this once. He was a wandering traveler and had absolutely nothing to do with this town. No one in our town intends to go against the One-Eyed Bandits."
"That's not my f*cking business. And Emily!"
At Calix's call, Emily became as hard as a stone. He raised the corners of his lips devilishly and spoke cheesyly.
"You will regret for not taking my offer."
Calix sprinted out the inn door as it was.
He strode in the direction of the One-Eyed bandit's hideout.
'That bastard… he must have not gotten far way.'
If they chased on horses, he will surely catch him, then torture him, and then at last, kill him.
Calix spurred his pace. He soon reached the hideout, but there were no guards in sight from the watchtower.
"…these bastards must stretching under the eaves again."
It's not like it had happened once or twice, so Calix swung opened the gate and entered the living quarters.
"Garlix! Listen to me. Some bastard in town…"
Calix's snitch did not last until the end.
As he saw the sight in front of his eyes, his legs gave strength and he flopped down on the ground.
He had no choice but to do so.
"Aren't we meeting each other for the second time, my friend?"
Because that hooded man at the inn earlier was lazily sitting in the middle of the hideout. And the bandits—they were lying strewn on the ground, thrown like vegetables.
"You… you… why are you here…"
Instead of answering, the man threw something at Calix.
It fell on the floor and rolled over to Calix's side.
It was the head of Calix's older brother, Garlix.
"Just a home visit."
The man took off his hood and smiled.
The smile of the handsome man was refreshing, but to Calix, all he felt was bone-chilling fear.
* * *
I have raided 12 bandit groups and killed some monsters met by chance.
============ Lv.20
Strength: E (130) Agility: E (120) Durability: F (100) Mana: F (95) =============
The result is this.
My status, that Emily told me.
As one can see, the level has risen by 3. All other stats have also went up by 15.
Since the level has risen by 3, and the stats has increased by 15, so the stat have increased by 5 per level up.
'Yeah, surely a trash body.'
The other heroes will go up by 8 or 9 every time they level up, but I alone only go up by 5.
In the end, even if I level up, the basic hardware was inevitably different.
'Well, that's that, I have to work out hard or consume some inner core.'
In the game, when you hunt monsters, there is a certain probability that you get it's inner core.
If you consume that inner core, your stats will increase, as for what kind of stats will increase depends on what type of inner core you consume.
'By the way, it takes more time to level up than I thought.'
In the game, you could level up by quite a bit by clearing these bandit groups. Maybe it's because it's the reality, the number of bandits needed to level up has skyrocketed.
This will mess up the plans a bit.
The plan to hunt for equipments after a quick level up session had to be scrapped.
From now on, level up and farm equipment at the same time.
"Excuse me, Mr. Cloud.."
A voice from behind broke my train of throught.
I turned around to see Emily with her head bowed and her face blushing.
She hadn't gone back yet?
"Yes?"
"That… Thank you for helping our town this time. Everyone is happy that the bandits are gone."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. Everyone had to struggle and labour under the tyranny of the bandits. So, we decided to hold a festival in the town to express our gratitude to Mr. Cloud."
"I see."
"Yeah… So… If you're okay with Mr. Cloud, can join with me…"
"I'm sorry, but I'm busy right now. Can you please leave?"
"Yeah..? Ah, yes… that, sorryy, y-yeah, you are busy…!!!"
Emily ran out of the room, blushing.
I feel sorry for her to refuse so coldly, but I couldn't help it.
'I can't even make tents, what's the use of setting the mood?'
A sweet exploratoy atmosphere without a boner?
It's just annoying.
Ah. I want to get that big root plant quickly.
I sighed deeply and plopped down on the bed.
'The first thing I need to get are the rings.'
Rings, which are accessories that can be worn in the 'The Hero's Party', each have special abilities.
Whether it's raising magic resistance or increasing the attack power.
In addition, multiple rings can be worn at the same time, which greatly affects the character's stats. So the more rings you get, the better.
Starting from tomorrow, I will start from the capital city of the Kingdom of Prona, where the game begins, and follow the progress of the game to brush off the remaining rings.
'Ah, on the way to the Kingdom of Prona, should I meet that punk once?'
It is a sequel to 'The Hero's Party' and a game that shares the same worldview.
The main character of 'The Tale of A Knight's Affair'.

So? He didn't specifically kill the bandits to save them. He just either got a quest, or decided to conviniantly get expierence. So it's not like he's obligated to help them till the end.

How about starting a local militia, forcing the nobles to protect the peasants rather than just loot their crops for taxes, cut levy enforcement so that they have decent able-bodied defenders (and farm workers for more crops/taxes), help create a fund to buy proper gear so they can fight back, build proper fortifications as panic locations, design plans for invasion, teach the kids how to use slings (it works...), thin out the local rif-raf with said militia to build up experience in keeping themselves safe. These are just a few things a 'hero' could do.
As they say "Give a man a fish, and he will be hungry again to-morrow; teach him...blah, blah, blah"
Just off the top o' my head.
