Rudeus lay on his back on the bed, his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling, pondering his next move.
This world, which possesses swords and magic and once gave birth to a glorious and splendid civilization, saw many of its traditions severed in the flames of war after several Human-Demon War.
Magic, technology, knowledge...
Countless things that should have been passed down through generations were buried along with the demise of civilization.
As a result, the development of the entire world gradually came to a standstill.
And behind all of this, in the final analysis, lies the shadow of that guy— the Man-God.
It does not want the creatures on earth to truly thrive.
Because it is not a god in the true sense.
It was afraid.
It fears that one day humanity will develop to a point where it can reach its territory, and it fears even more that one day humanity will truly unite and completely overthrow its supreme rule.
That's why it plots time and time again to drag the whole world into endless conflict.
Even in the current Land of Conflict, there are Human God Apostle secretly manipulating things.
Its purpose has never been complicated.
No one should be allowed to truly rise to power.
It breeds hostility between nations, mutual suspicion among races, and endless internal strife among humanity, preventing any force from truly uniting.
As long as the world remains in chaos, it can forever remain hidden behind the scenes, like a hand manipulating chess pieces, controlling everyone's fate.
pity...
Neither Man-God could have imagined this.
Since that Teleport Incident, a major variable has been added to its meticulously woven web of fate.
The purpose of this variable is to utterly destroy everything it has painstakingly built up!
Thinking of this, Rudeus's lips slowly curled into a smile.
Now that we've arrived in a world without a job...
Who wouldn't want to give that Man-God a good beating?
"Oh."
Thinking of this, Rudeus suddenly sat up in bed.
"Um..."
A muffled nasal sound came from beside me.
This sudden movement finally woke Eris from her deep sleep.
She groggily opened her eyes, her disheveled red hair scattered on the pillow, carrying a hint of languor from just waking up.
"What are you doing, Rudeus...?"
She rubbed her eyes, her voice full of dissatisfaction.
"Disturbing my peaceful sleep so early in the morning..."
Still sleeping?
Rudeus turned to the side, looking at her with a half-smile.
Didn't you say last night that you were going to train me to the point of collapse this morning?
Why do you look like you haven't slept yet?
Get up.
Rudeus reached out and poked Eris's soft cheek, adding with a smile.
"Didn't you say you were going to train me to death?"
"..."
Eris glared at him, then pulled the blanket up high, "Eek..."
Rudeus couldn't help but laugh at her expression.
I still prefer your initial rebellious side.
"He always seemed fearless, so why is he acting like a coward now?"
"Ugh, Rudeus..."
Eris's voice was muffled, muffled by the blankets.
"Let me sleep a little longer..."
"Oh?"
Rudeus raised an eyebrow.
"He was so arrogant in the first half of the night, saying he wanted me to beg for mercy."
"Then, in the middle of the night, I don't know who it was that kept saying 'No, no'?"
"..."
"So~ hard~ to~ guess~"
Rudeus deliberately dragged out his words.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of Eris gritting her teeth came from under the covers.
"Ru--Di--U--S!"
Eris finally couldn't resist any longer, and she threw off the covers, revealing her head.
She glared at Rudeus, but there was little anger in her eyes.
A moment later, she suddenly composed herself.
Rudeus.
"Um?"
"Go and confess your feelings to Roxy."
"..."
Rudeus's smile froze instantly.
"Ah?"
He even doubted whether he had misheard.
"What did you say?"
Eris repeated it expressionlessly.
I said—go and confess your feelings to Roxy.
"I..."
Rudeus reached up and picked at his ear.
"I truly never expected to hear those words come out of your mouth."
He looked Eris up and down.
"That was quite unexpected."
"I knew you liked her a long time ago."
Eris gave a soft snort.
"Besides, it's not like I can't accept this kind of thing."
She paused, her tone becoming more serious.
" Roxy is a really nice person."
"So..."
Eris lay back down and pulled the blanket up to her shoulders.
"If you can do it, then do it."
Rudeus was silent for a moment, then gave a gentle smile.
" Eris."
I still stand by what I said.
"My love will not shift, will not split, will not diminish, and will certainly not disappear."
He reached out and gently rubbed Eris's head.
"My love..."
"It can copy."
"Glib-tongued..."
A faint blush instantly spread across Eris's cheeks.
She turned her head away, refusing to look at Rudeus.
"Go copy your love now."
Don't disturb my sleep!
Rudeus chuckled softly and stopped teasing her.
"Then you should get some rest."
After saying that, he got up and left the room, slowly closing the door behind him.
The smile on Rudeus's face gradually faded the moment the door closed.
The next second, he called out from the depths of his consciousness:
" Yanli."
"How's the maze I asked you to set up coming along?"
Soon, Yanli's somewhat cold voice rang in his mind.
"Reporting to Master, all arrangements have been completed."
We welcome you anytime.
"Very good."
Rudeus nodded slightly.
"Stay on standby."
"Yes, Master!"
After the conversation ended, Rudeus regained his usual composure.
Instead of leaving the camp immediately, he strolled around like an idle person with nothing to do.
Seemingly aimless.
In fact, his eyes were constantly observing his surroundings.
A faint blue light occasionally flashed across his eyes.
He's waiting.
Waiting for the perfect moment.
finally--
As Rudeus reached a corner of a campsite, his pace quickened.
Smack!
The next moment, a soft figure unexpectedly bumped into his arms.
"Ah--"
The girl gasped in surprise.
"I'm... I'm sorry!"
The person in his arms quickly raised their head.
"I wasn't paying attention while I was walking..."
However, when she saw who was in front of her, her voice stopped abruptly.
That familiar face came into view, and a faint blush immediately rose to the girl's pretty face.
" Rudeus?"
"Teacher."
Rudeus smiled at her.
What a coincidence!
Is there anything important today?
Roxy gently shook her head.
"I... I don't have anything to do."
She glanced around, then asked in confusion:
"By the way, how did you end up here?"
"I happened to have nothing to do, so I came out for a walk."
Rudeus gave a casual reply, then his eyes lit up slightly as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right."
"Teacher, I heard there's a maze nearby."
"It's said that no one has ever successfully conquered it since a very long time ago."
Roxy blinked.
"Maze?"
"That's right."
Rudeus laughed.
"We're free anyway, so it's fine."
"Why don't we go try it together?"
Roxy was clearly tempted.
"Really?"
She thought for a moment, then asked:
"Then... should we invite other people to come along?"
"No."
Rudeus answered crisply and decisively.
Just the two of us.
"Huh?"
Roxy was taken aback.
"Two... two people?"
"That's right."
Rudeus nodded seriously.
"Because I want to set a record for the fewest people to clear the game."
"..."
Looking at his serious expression, Roxy was momentarily speechless.
This reason...
That sounds exactly like something Rudeus would say.
"Alright."
Rudeus simply extended his hand.
Don't hesitate.
"Let's go now."
"Wait, wait a minute--"
Before Roxy could finish speaking, Rudeus grabbed her.
The next moment, a surge of magical power erupted from within him.
The wind pressure suddenly increased.
Their bodies simultaneously lifted off the ground, hurtling towards the distant forest.
" Rudeus!"
Roxy quickly called out:
"Etc!"
"I haven't even grabbed my staff yet!"
Mid-air, Rudeus turned around and flashed a bright smile.
You don't need to worry about that.
"I have plenty of staffs here."
"When we get there, teacher, you can choose whichever you like."
"..."
Roxy was speechless for a moment.
Rudeus then transformed into a streak of light with her and vanished into the horizon in an instant.
