Dear, It's Time to Take Your Medicine! Chapter 3

Qin Chu had no idea how much time had passed when his consciousness suddenly awakened.

Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

This seemed to be a mountaintop. There was not a single tree on the barren summit. The flagstones beneath the silver moonlight gleamed with a silvery-white radiance, while the night wind howled.

He was still a little dazed.

"It worked. We summoned another Hero."

The familiar voice by his ear irritated Qin Chu. He discovered that he was standing atop an altar, surrounded by twelve decrepit old men who already had one foot in the grave, along with a beautiful woman in her thirties.

The Thirteen Sages?

Seeing Qin Chu standing foolishly on the altar, the middle-aged beauty, Natia, the youngest Sage, stepped forward and clasped Qin Chu's hands in her palms. Looking up at the man before her with a pair of watery eyes, she pleaded, "Lord Hero, please save this world!"

Qin Chu's eyes widened. He flung Natia's little hands aside and immediately cursed, "Save it? Save your motherfucking—"

Let This World Fall into Corruption (3)

Qin Chu opened with a classic national curse.

Save your sister.

The decrepit old men around him all sucked in a breath. What was wrong with this Hero? Why was he so uncouth?

Was this guy really a Hero? Had they accidentally summoned a Demon King instead?

But Qin Chu could hardly be blamed. Just think about what he had gone through. He had suddenly been summoned into another world, one ravaged by monsters and on the brink of destruction. Qin Chu had thought of himself as the protagonist of some novel or anime, taking up the responsibility of saving the world.

At first, Qin Chu had not invested much emotion into this world. But when he rescued a young boy from monsters for the first time, and the terrified, uneasy boy thanked him, Qin Chu experienced a different sort of feeling.

So helping others could be such a wonderful thing.

Together with the Hero's Party, he ate meat and drank wine in great mouthfuls. They would drunkenly throw their arms around each other's shoulders, huddle together, and secretly discuss which girl in the party was more alluring. Was it Ekaterina's fiery figure that was more soul-stirring? Was Rosweisse's purity and holiness more seductive? Or were the twin thieves' flat chests more heart-fluttering?

Qin Chu came to understand friendship and brotherhood. He could hand his back over to those companions without hesitation, because he believed they would block every danger for him.

When he fell for a girl, Qin Chu experienced love for the first time. Like a peacock, he wanted to seize every chance to stand out and attract his beloved's attention. Yet he was also like a little mouse, trembling in fear that he had not done something well enough and would lower Rosweisse's opinion of him.

It was the first time Qin Chu knew what it meant to be anxious and uneasy.

He had given everything to this world. Time and again, he had walked the line between life and death, covered in wounds.

To avoid too many casualties, he had challenged the Eternal Monarch alone. Even when severely injured and nearly unconscious, he had split the earth with a single sword strike. A million monsters had not dared cross the scar left by his blade, instead leaping into the Abyss.

But what had he received?

Betrayal.

The woman he loved most had never loved him. His best brothers had never considered him a brother. Everything had been fake. They had only wanted a machine to exterminate monsters.

The royal family, the nobles, and the church all regarded his existence as a threat.

People treated his blood as an aphrodisiac and tonic.

Those people he had personally saved shouted for his death at the execution ground. When he was torn limb from limb, cheers surged like a mountain-shaking tsunami...

The soldiers celebrated through the night because his death meant higher pay for them...

In the end, he had nothing.

The deeper his love had once been, the stronger his hatred was now.

Save it? Save your fucking grandfather. It was because of the Thirteen Sages that he had been summoned into this world and suffered all this pain. If he got another chance, he would watch with his own eyes as this world turned into ruins beneath the monsters' iron hooves. He wanted nothing more than to rip apart Natia's beautiful face right in front of him.

That was what he thought, and that was what he did.

He was dead anyway. This was probably just a flashback before his soul completely dispersed...

One hand reached toward Natia's pretty face, ready to tear apart the woman's glib mouth.

Meanwhile, Grand Sage Natia had been shocked by the Hero's crude words. She stood frozen in place, her lips slightly parted, not knowing how to respond.

Then Qin Chu's finger poked into Natia's mouth.

Hiss...

That sight made all twelve old men around them change expression.

They knew that although Natia ranked last among the Thirteen Grand Sages, she was extraordinarily talented and immensely powerful. She was also incredibly proud. Though she appeared gentle and refined on the surface, if any man made even the slightest excessive contact with her, Natia would immediately switch into another mode. It was entirely possible that she would simply kill the Hero.

Summoning a Hero was no easy task. Though this Hero seemed somewhat unreliable, if they truly got him killed, the entire Skyvault Continent would be unable to initiate another summoning ritual for the next three years. They could only wail beneath the monsters' iron hooves.

No, judging by the current situation, Skyvault Continent might not even last three years.

The twelve decrepit old men prayed inwardly that Natia could hold herself back. Whatever happened, she absolutely could not lose control.

Perhaps their prayers worked, or perhaps Qin Chu's action was simply too shocking for Natia to process. She only suddenly widened her eyes and stood there motionless in a daze.

Just as Qin Chu was about to take the opportunity to tear Natia's mouth apart, a needle-like pain suddenly pierced his mind.

The savagery and madness that had filled his entire consciousness receded like a tide in an instant.

Though the hatred in his heart remained, Qin Chu recovered his reason and composure in that moment.

Vaguely, Qin Chu sensed that something was wrong.

If this was merely a dying flashback, the scene around him was far too real.

Silver moonlight shone upon him, casting a long shadow across the altar. The night wind atop the mountain carried wave after wave of chill, while leaves below rustled beneath the breeze.

He could even hear the cries of night birds and insects.

Fresh air filled his nostrils!

Such a real sensation could never be produced by a false illusion. He could even feel...

Could this be not an illusion he saw before death, but... reality?

"You finally realized it... This is when you first arrived on Skyvault Continent."

The voice came from beside his ear... no, that was wrong. It suddenly emerged from the depths of his heart.

The next second, a strand of silver-white hair fell down along Qin Chu's cheek.

Gulp...

Qin Chu's face stiffened slightly as he sharply turned to look behind him.

He saw a gorgeous woman leaning against his shoulder. Her silver hair fluttered in the night wind, her crimson eyes carrying an evil, bewitching allure. Her ravishing face and perfectly exquisite curves... If she was not the Dark Witch, Saye Nikolas, then who was she?

Qin Chu's pupils contracted sharply, but just as his emotions reached their peak, he suddenly forced himself to calm down.

The bewitchingly beautiful witch lay gracefully against his shoulder. Her pale cherry-pink lips drew close to Qin Chu's ear, yet her voice rang directly within his mind.

Qin Chu looked around. The twelve decrepit old men were still staring at him anxiously, seemingly afraid that the enraged Natia would slap him to death.

None of them looked toward his shoulder, as though they had not noticed Saye Nikolas at all. Otherwise, a Hero they had just summoned suddenly having another person behind him—and that person being the Dark Witch—would never have left these Grand Sages unmoved.

In other words, these people could not sense Saye Nikolas's presence.

"That's right. My current existence is somewhat special, so they can't see me." Saye Nikolas seemed able to hear Qin Chu's thoughts and immediately responded. "Hey, let's work together and make this world fall into corruption!"

Fall into corruption? Interesting.

Though he wanted to slaughter all his enemies directly, Qin Chu knew very well that with the strength he possessed right after being summoned, he could not do it. In that case, another method would be fine.

Besides, simply killing those people would be letting them off too easily. He wanted them to experience what true despair was.

He wanted this world to feel pain.

Qin Chu's gaze fell upon Natia.

At that moment, the woman's face was flushed red. A misty sheen clouded her bright eyes. Her full, upright chest rose and fell with her hurried breaths, while her petite yet voluptuous body radiated astonishing allure.

Her reaction seemed somewhat off.

The Person He Hated Most (2)

Grand Sage was merely a title for human mages who had cultivated magic to its utmost limit. It did not prohibit marriage or anything of the sort. Natia was petite and voluptuous, with a beautiful face. Naturally, a woman like her had countless suitors.

However, Natia was devoted to magic and had no interest whatsoever in relationships between men and women. There were even rumors that Natia was frigid, while more excessive rumors claimed she was a pure lily, which was why she looked down on all the talented young men pursuing her.

If someone refused to give up and kept pestering her, they might even get a taste of Natia's explosive magic.

But now Natia's face was flushed, her eyes soft and hazy. Something was obviously wrong, wasn't it?

"You can take a look at your status panel..." Saya's voice sounded beside him at just the right moment.

Status panels were a special concept in this world. Through one, a person could inspect their current attributes, Authorities, combat skills, magic, and so on. Unless someone chose to make it public, others could not see the contents of their status panel. It was very convenient.

Qin Chu called out in his mind, and something resembling a computer screen immediately appeared before his eyes, listing his current data in detail.

Level: 1

Class: Hero

Strength: 6

Stamina: 6

Agility: 6

Mental Power: 6

Defense: 6

Charm: 6 (Average: 5, Maximum: 10, can be increased through special methods)

Combat Skills: None!

Magic: None!

When he had first been summoned, all his data had been exactly the same.

But the entries below were somewhat different.

Authorities:

Greed: Transcendent Authority. You greedily desire to possess everything. Authority Special Ability: Devourer—You can seize the strength and Authorities of others for your own use.

Wrath: Transcendent Authority. You are furious, and fury shall become your strength. Authority Special Ability: Rage Burst—When your rage erupts, you will gain power far beyond your limits.

Forced Calm: High-Tier Authority. You will remain calm at all times and never lose your reason. Activates automatically and can be manually disabled.

Lust: Special Authority, Transcendent Authority. This Authority cannot be made public. Authority Special Ability—Touch of Lust. Its effect can be disabled.

The power system of this world was mainly divided into three parts: levels, combat skills and magic, and Authorities.

Levels directly affected one's basic attributes. Combat skills and magic could be considered battle techniques, while powerful magic and combat skills required high levels and attributes to support them.

Authorities, however, were the most unique of them all. Some Authorities were completely useless. Qin Chu had once encountered someone whose Authority was never confusing sugar and salt. It was entirely useless in battle.

But the effects of certain Authorities were absurdly powerful.

Qin Chu still remembered that when he was first summoned, he only had two Authorities: the Transcendent Authority Ally of Justice and the Transcendent Authority Heaven Rewards Diligence.

Now, not only had the number increased to four, they were completely different from before.

Qin Chu could understand the Authority Wrath.

But what was this Greed Authority about?

And Forced Calm—he had nearly lost control several times before, only to suddenly calm down at the most critical moment. It must have been Forced Calm taking effect.

The worst one was the Authority Lust.

Qin Chu did not consider himself some lecherous man. During the seven years he had served as Hero, he had spent all his time in special training and war.

As an immensely powerful Hero, countless factions had tried to recruit him. Many had even resorted to honey traps, but Qin Chu had rejected them all. From beginning to end, Rosweisse was the only woman who had moved his heart. By the time he died, he was still a goddamn miserable virgin.

Just thinking of it made Qin Chu feel sorrowful.

"I gave you that talent." Saya's pleasant voice echoed through his mind.

Qin Chu asked, "Why are you helping me?"

"You think I want to?" Saya's originally sweet, coquettish voice suddenly became irritable. Her long silver hair fluttered continuously, and her fair little face was full of fury. She was clearly extremely displeased.

"After you died, Heaven's Chain collapsed and my seal was lifted too. But damn it, you heartless bastard, you haven't forgotten what you did to me before, have you?"

Saya waved her little fists and bounced around in midair.
