A Shop For A Killer

Ever since I first decided to become an adventurer, I dreamed of becoming the best—defeating the strongest monsters, exploring the deepest dungeons, and writing my name down in history. With my extraordinary talent, I reached the top faster than I ever imagined. But why did it feel so empty? I had always been adventuring alone, without a party, without comrades, without the fun moments an adventurer should have. When I saw other adventurers laughing, bickering, and adventuring together, one thought crossed my mind— "AHHH! I'M ENVY!" Why didn't I enjoy my youth properly?

I was already too old, and the end of my adventurer career was drawing near. Sigh… if only I could live my life over again… If only I could reincarnate… I would definitely fall in love and not waste my life anymore… And as I took my last breath— My wish came true.
