Seeing the nightmare-like fruit stand before him,
Natsuki Subaru couldn't help it. It was as if all strength had been drained from his body, and he collapsed to his knees.
"Hey, hey, hey! What's with you?"
Seeing this happen, Fang Mo deliberately cried out in alarm and hurried over to help him back up. "Why'd you suddenly drop dead without a word... Even picking a fight shouldn't involve risking your life like this, right?"
"Sorry, boss."
Natsuki Subaru's mind was a complete mess, but he still forced out an explanation. "But I really didn't come here to cause trouble..."
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. That much I can tell."
Fang Mo nodded along. "Anyone actually looking for trouble wouldn't have such a despairing look on their face. I'm guessing you ran into some kind of difficulty?"
"I..."
Natsuki Subaru felt his throat tighten at those words.
He had died three times since being transported here. At least he had figured out some things about his Golden Finger—it was probably something like Return by Death.
When he had been on the verge of dying just now, Natsuki Subaru had heard a voice reminding him of something. It seemed like a god had said he couldn't die here, so as long as he died, he could start over... returning to the starting point through some kind of save-loading method.
A Golden Finger like Return by Death really was powerful.
But even so... Natsuki Subaru felt like he was reaching his limit.
As a modern-day shut-in gamer, before being transported to another world, he had stayed awake for nearly an entire day and night grinding games. After arriving here, he had only managed to keep going on sheer excitement.
But after experiencing death three times in a row,
Natsuki Subaru was really about to break down.
