Roxy's Past

He, Roa Grillet, wanted to become an individual who wielded power from the shadows.

So, the question arises: how could he become an individual who wielded power from the shadows?

First, his combat power needed to reach the ceiling. Unfortunately, this world primarily relied on swordsmanship. In a direct confrontation, he couldn't possibly defeat a Dragon God.

He was still in his developmental stage and lacked immense power.

Just as the young man fell into deep thought, contemplating his future plans, a faint, elegant scent and a soft touch came from behind him.

It was Roxy's scent.

Roa's eyes snapped open. Roxy was hugging him, her soft hands ruffling his hair.

"Do you want to hear my story?" Roxy's movements were gentle. He felt the sensation of Roxy's hair against his cheek, a ticklish feeling.

Roa nodded. Roxy was opening up to him, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

"My life wasn't easy. When I was born, I lacked the telepathic communication ability unique to my tribe. When my parents discovered I couldn't communicate telepathically, they told me to stay home and not go out. My parents also started learning to read and write from scratch for me. However, the first time I stepped out of the house and tried to communicate with someone, I realized how different I was from the other children in the village and burst into tears." Roxy's eyes flickered with a hint of nostalgia as she began to recall the past with a wistful expression.

"It wasn't until I met the Magician Badigadi, who was traveling to our village, that I learned about the vastness of the world. I studied basic Magic with Badigadi. However, after mastering the Beginner level, my master left without a word."

"Born into the feared Migurd Tribe, my blue hair, which appeared green under certain light conditions, caused me to suffer a lot along the way. (According to legends in this world, four hundred years ago, a Spelud Tribe member with green hair and a ruby on his forehead went on a rampage, slaughtering members of the same Demon Tribe, regardless of gender, age, or even their own family. Therefore, races closer to green hair were increasingly feared by the world and became a cautionary tale for parents at night to scare their children)."

"When I was 14, I secretly embarked on a journey, leaving my family behind. I registered as an Adventurer. However, because my tribe's appearance doesn't change after the age of 14, even though I was 17, I was treated as a child by other Adventurers. So, it took me quite a while to find a place. Not long after, I met companions for the first time: the centaur Nokbara, the pig-headed Blaze, and our captain Harkendil, among others. Three years later, I became a B-rank Adventurer."

"But good times don't last forever. The days we spent working hard, joking, and laughing together came to an end. During a mission, we encountered a Magic disaster. Captain Harkendil was crushed by a falling boulder and died on the spot. The leaderless party disbanded immediately. That was the first time I experienced the fragility of life and the harshness of reality. When I reported to the local Guild, their indifferent response made me re-examine the value of life." Roxy sighed at this point, her expression somewhat dazed.

"Alone once more, I sat by the sea in the port, feeling lost. I then boarded a ship and sailed to another continent – Milis. Due to three wars between humans and demons that had occurred in this world, although it was a period of peace, the town I arrived at suffered from severe discrimination. I even had to pay passage fees to the guards to enter and leave the town. Fortunately, the port town I reached didn't have too much discrimination. A Guild lady I met there helped me a lot. I was even invited to work at the Guild, but after careful consideration, I decided to continue being an Adventurer and even took out a loan for a new magic staff."

"After advancing to A-rank, I encountered a group of Adventurers who commissioned me to infiltrate the lair of a lolicon merchant and investigate his illegal transactions. Since there was a risk of losing my chastity, I initially wanted to refuse, but when I heard the reward would be four times the usual amount, I agreed. After tying my hair into twin tails, the merchant took a liking to me, but my companions mocked me for the hairstyle. I was frequently made to change outfits. Once
