Prologue: Part 17
last update2025-11-12 23:00:22

Time has passed 2 years and now I am 17 years old, Canavro is 20 years old, and Lucy is 11 years old. We are currently holding a village coming-of-age ceremony and Canavro is participating as he is turning 20. 

Coming-of-age ceremony, is a tradition passed down from generation to generation in this village. When young men and young women reach the age of 20, they are required to participate in village development and get married to avoid misunderstandings with their neighbors. 

They started by dancing, drinking alcohol, and even looking for a partner to get married sooner. As they all danced, Canavro refused and went to a quiet place. I followed him and saw him sad. Then I said.

"What's wrong? You rarely look sad?" I said.

"How could I not, you know yourself even though I'm an adult, I still think that Lucy is looked down upon by the villagers because she hasn't have her horse from her magic. Should I be happy in a situation like this?” he said

    My magic eyes were still on, and I saw that this receptionist was using too much mana. I was even surprised how she could live with so little mana.(Was it because of the technology? But I didn't see her using any mana when she used that little box with my magic eyes. Then who was taking her mana?)I looked at the other receptionists, and they were doing the same thing as this receptionist. But when using that technology, I saw that their mana wasn't being drained and their mana wasn't low.Then, when I wanted to look more closely at her chest, I saw something that hadn't been awakened yet. I stood still for a while until the receptionist noticed. The receptionist said, “Mr. Oz? Why are you staring at me for so long?”“Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to,” I said as I turned off my magic eyes.Then the receptionist handed me the stiff paper and said, “This is your guild card,” said the receptionist. She handed it to me and began to introduce herself, saying, “Congratulations on becoming a

    (Adventurer? What kind of weird name is that?)I just nodded and she gave me a letter to fill out. She showed me which parts needed to be filled in and so on. She also explained that becoming an adventurer was free because the Guild desperately needed people to fight the monsters from Death Wood.(I didn't expect it to be so strict here, like having to take care of paperwork at the government building and so on. It seems that the monster threat is so real that Tara Shabate is very wary of them).While filling out the letter, I asked the receptionist what day it was because the registration date was listed. She told me to fill in the year 1888 D.(1888 D.!? Haven't I been in Death Wood for 3 years?)Time in the magical world and other worlds connected to Death Wood is the same, the only difference being the calendar and the number of years they use. If I've been in Death Wood for 3 years, that means Tara Shabate should be in 1991 D.(Is this because I'm stuck in time?)While filling ou

    I once read a book about Death Wood that warned against going too deep. If you go too deep, you will experience a shift in space and time that causes accelerated aging, differences in time periods to the past or future, and other things related to space and time.“That's only for people who don't know the way, but with this strong feeling, I'm sure I can find the right path, where the stone fragment is,” I said.I went deeper into Death Wood, confident in the feeling from the stone fragment. I just kept walking, walking, and walking. I ate what I had with me and monsters, some of which turned out to be delicious.(I thought they were born from magical energy, but it turns out they are living creatures too).I trained my fighting skills in Death Wood. I had experiences fighting monsters, even monsters that resembled humans. I even found a village, but it was inhabited by goblins. In that village, many women were captured for their breeding.

    Canavro and Lucy are not biological siblings, as Lucy is Tara Shabate and Canavro is Black Centaur. Initially, when they woke up from their unconscious state, they saw him as their biological father and believed they were siblings.Canavro had a younger sister who was killed by Tara Shabate, as did Lucy's older brother, who died as a subject of magical experiments. They both also lost their mothers and only had their fathers, so they saw him as their father because of the effects of the cloak and mask. They also saw each other as siblings.He took them both in and became their father. He told Lucy to wear the same mask as him to hide her identity as Tara Shabate. He went into exile from the rest of the world to a village he found in Death Wood.This made all the stories about this family clear. That Lucy, who had no horse, was born from his magic, and the difference in talent that Canavro told me about. It turned out that all these stories were only created because of the effects of t

    “Gotcha,” said the woman after grabbing his hand, which he had pulled away from her.The woman grabbed his hand and surprised him. Then the woman said, “I finally found you,” she said. Then he replied, “What do you mean, Miss Hero?” he said.Then the woman laughed and said, “Hahaha, what do you mean by hero, Mr. Camouflage?” she said. Of course, after hearing that, he was surprised by what the woman said. Then he denied it, saying, "Mr. Camouflage? I don't understand what you're saying, miss. I'm just an ordinary farmer," he said.“Maybe right now you just look like an ordinary farmer, but will you change your identity again to become a baker? That rejection is quite cruel, isn't it?” said the woman.“Rejection? I still don't understand what you mean, miss. Can I leave because I haven't tended to my fields today?” he said.“That's quite suspicious, isn't it? It's daytime

    It seems like this camouflage is useless now...I seem to have successfully fooled everyone with the magic I gained after leaving Death Wood...System alert, system alert, system alert, system alert.A screen with those words always appeared in front of me. Even after defeating Gerard in the village that time, that message was still there.After my victory over Gerard, I fainted from exhaustion and excessive mana usage. While I was unconscious, a man carried me away. He took me from that place and set up a small tent outside, a little way from the village.I began to wake up from my faint and found that I was sleeping in a tent. Inside the tent, I saw a campfire and was about to leave the tent. While inside, I smelled porridge, which made me feel nostalgic.(The screens that always appeared, now disappeared?)I got out of the tent and there I saw a man with a familiar face sitting near the bonfire. The face kept changing as l
