" What is this? How did you guys survive the forest? "
"Look at this! They returned!"
Even though it was late at night, people began to swarm fast toward them.
When they realized Ricky's group had returned, even those who were wiping their weary eyes were in awe.
Few people believed they would survive when they fled the starting point.
The people who remained at the starting point expected that everyone in Ricky's group might be dead but luckily they survived.
They quickly became overcrowded.
"What kind of monsters did you fight? You look terrible."
"Have you received anything?"
"How did you get back there?"
Everyone was interested in their journey outside the forest.
Except for only one, Linley.
"Fuck, why are you all raising such a fuss about something so unimportant?"
He came at them with a trashy attitude, shouting roughly.
The group of people was suddenly immersed in stillness.
One of the three strongest members of the group, Linley was feared by many due to his distinct demeanor.
Linley passed on through other people to get to Martin and talked while gritting his teeth.
"Assholes, 4 people died today! You guys just had to go on your "great" expedition, after all! "
Everyday.
The starting point was raided by different monsters.
However, 9 individuals had already departed the starting point, including Ricky.
Four persons were sacrificed in the attempt of the surviving group to repel the monsters despite their weakness.
Except for the first day, it had the most fatalities.
It must have had a significant impact not having Ricky and Martin present.
Particularly Ricky, whose absence must have had a significant effect because he was able to eliminate about half of the monsters by himself.
They did, however, put up a good fight, losing only four.
Linley lifted his left hand after a little pause.
The middle finger has an unusually short length.
"There have been four deaths so far, but there have also been several injuries. My finger even fell off. Half of the people would already be dead if it weren't for me. But why did you two decide to go on a treasure hunt? What a beautiful shield, right? "
Martin was holding the Shield of Protection, and Linley made fun of him.
Martin didn't have anything to say, after all.
Before returning, he even engaged in combat with thousands of Orcs.
He struggled to get his mouth to open, though.
It was because he knew that whatever he said, the others would just take it as a justification.
Linley was in front.
"Tsk!"
Ricky made a tongue-click.
Then he moved toward Linley.
It was essential to investigate.
"Stand back, man! Martin the superb humanitarian, is the one I'm speaking to."
"I took the lead in this investigation. Is it not appropriate for you to discuss anything you have to say with me? "
Ricky only remained still and gazed at him.
Linley was only after Martin for a very straightforward reason.
In any case, it didn't appear that Ricky would form a gang of his own, and he thought Martin was the only one standing in his way of succeeding as the ruler of the starting point.
After feeling Ricky's attention, Linley clenched his teeth before calming down and speaking.
Many people relied on Martin. Martin at least shouldn't have ventured outside to explore."
"You give the impression that Martin is their babysitter."
" No, not that, but he is a leader, I believe."
"Those who are incapable of surviving on their own will perish anyway."
They didn't even need to consider entering the real world of Tir because individuals who depend on others will perish in the starting rather than the real world of Tir.
You stop moving forward as soon as you rely on someone and are satisfied, at which point creatures will consume you.
Additionally, only those with strength were granted the right to look after others.
Martin was undoubtedly weak.
The idea of the weak assisting the weak was something you only see in fairy tales.
Only the powerful can act any way they choose in the world of Tir since it is a place where the powerful have complete dominion.
"So you're arguing that everyone should just pass away?"
Linley's neck veins are bulging.
He was already opposing Ricky, so Ricky knew he was attempting to persuade people to support him.
"Yes, those who can only survive by depending on others will only eventually suffer even more horrific hardships."
Ricky, however, was not going to retract any of his remarks.
Even Ricky who had lived for 100 years without his will is having a hard time surviving.
He endured continual agony for 100 years before dying and eventually came back to the past.
There are times when he had no choice but to sacrifice others to survive.
To simply pass away now rather than go through that again will be considered a blessing.
"Ha! You're a powerful man, so you can definitely live alone."
"I'm not strong, but you people are simply weak."
Ricky replied.
The Ricky he was in the past was essentially insignificant in comparison to the Ricky he is today.
Even in Tir, innumerable individuals were like monsters in comparison to him based solely on their physical prowess.
