She Is Mine. You Can't Touch Her!!

Blood gradually stained the sea, corpses floating upon the waves.

At their very first encounter, dozens of sea demons controlled by Haiming had already fallen beneath Arata's blade.

"I was a failure. I barely paid attention to whether the sunlight was bright or not, because I had no time.

"My parents couldn't support me, and I wasn't highly educated. Alone in the city, I searched for a future.

"I found many jobs, but none hired me. Maybe no one liked someone who wasn't good at speaking, didn't enjoy socializing, and hadn't shown enough ability.

"I went three whole days eating only two loaves of bread. Hunger kept me awake at night. Luckily, I had paid a month's rent in advance, so I could keep living in that dark basement without having to go outside and endure the unusually frigid winter wind.

"Finally, I found a job. Night watchman at a hospital, guarding the morgue.

"The hospital was even colder at night than I had imagined. The wall lamps in the corridors weren't lit, and everything was dim. I could only rely on the faint light leaking from the rooms to see where I stepped.

"It smelled terrible there. Every so often, a dead person would be delivered stuffed inside a body bag, and we would help carry them into the morgue.

"It wasn't a very good job, but at least I could afford bread. I could also use my free time at night to study. After all, no one wanted to come to the morgue unless a corpse needed to be delivered or taken away for cremation.
