A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

I was still wandering through the woods.

I didn't realize I could go back to the border city. The only thing that kept me moving was my consciousness that I just didn't want to die. That is the only driving force behind me now. [M]

"Hah... hah... hah..."

Perhaps in the world of dusk, I am in a place where humanity has not entered in the last 150 years. I had already lost my sense of direction and was just desperate. And as you progress, the burning dusk becomes darker and darker.

"Uhh... ahh... ahh..."

I moan. My body was already screaming and I couldn't move on. [M] Ah... this will die. No, I'll definitely die...

"Ah...."

I thought I just fell. [M] But it wasn't. I fell off the cliff. [M]

There was no pain in the rolling body. I just... want to be relaxed like this. At the end of the day, I lost consciousness. Death for sure is the same as staying awake after bed. It's just... your consciousness gets thinner.

I thought that. [M]

"Ugh... here..."

When I woke up, I was by the river. [M] Apparently it fell into the river and was washed away, caught in a runway tree along the way. Cold water relentlessly cooled my body, but somehow I was still alive.

……

Are you still alive even if you expose yourself to this kind of indifference? With that in mind, I crawl up to land... and lie on my back on the gravel. Then he lit the big trees beside him. Magic is powerful because of talent. I was a little better at magic than people. [M] Four attributes also work well.

And finally, I squeezed my strength to produce the fire.

A warm fire heals my cold body. At that time, tears came out.

"U... uuuuu... uuuuuuu..."

Spill the pharynx. I was alive. He lived in a world of dusk where mankind was said not to survive for long. Perhaps a day has passed. Still, I had a raw smell. [M] I don't want to die yet. I thought I could die. However, when I thought that I might be saved, tears came out from that sense of relief.

How did this happen? I just wanted to be good for someone. Like a great father. But I didn't want to be someone's discard. Dan didn't become an anti-magician to be abandoned by the others. Thinking so, I felt black emotions dominating my chest. But right now... that's not what I'm thinking.

What do I have to do to live?

"Dazzling....."

Looking at the sky, a bright red twilight was spreading. The scenery that I've always seen from within the bounded cities is now spreading loudly in front of me. There is neither morning nor day in this world. There is only dusk and darkness. Twilight during the day and darkness at night. This is the present "Now" of the world ruled by the demons.

"I need more fire... I need more fire..."

At the College of Boundary Cities, there was some survival training based on what was left of the world at dusk. But it wasn't practical, just being able to convey knowledge. Still, I thought I needed to learn everything, so I learned and remembered that knowledge well.

And with that in mind, we need a fire first.

Humans don't have to eat food for two weeks. Besides, you don't have to pick up the water for a couple of days. Fortunately, there is also fresh water near the river, so the water is good. The problem is that monsters attack us. Monsters fear fire. It must be instinctive, not too close to the fire. That's why I enlarged the fire with magic.

"Ohh...."

When I coughed unexpectedly, there was blood on my hands. Maybe she's injured her internal organs. Or is it infected with some kind of germ? I have no knowledge of the twilight world. [M] No, let's just say there's hardly anything for mankind. It's called training, but it's only near the border city. It's strange to go deep into the woods like Dan.

"Uhh... uhh... uhhh..."

And my consciousness dimmed again. [M]

……

Ouch. My body hurts. The pain woke me up again. Following the pain, something like a red and black crack was running on the right arm.

"What the hell is this...?

I can't think of anything like that. [M] But I don't care anymore. There are no doctors here. There's nobody here. If you ever die of this, that's it.

And I was a little positive thanks to some sort of reopening. Fortunately, there seemed to be no monsters around here, and the riverbank was quite peaceful. But it's time to get some food. I haven't eaten anything in days. Though I drink water, hunger strikes me irrevocably.

"I have to go...."

While flustered, I looked forward with a glare. [M]

"That's...."

Walking through the woods, there was White Wolf. Perhaps the entire forest is a White Wolf territory. Whether or not you can defeat me with my present strength... I can't resist this hunger. [M]

When I hold a small wooden stick, I use it as a starting point to activate magic. My magic is nothing but dexterity. [M] That's what they said. But there was actually only one magic I was good at. It's magic. Phantom is the technique of deceiving the opponent. It makes the world perceive what does not exist as what does exist. But that won't do anything. Where the illusion was created, it makes no sense in the world of dusk. More practical technology is important. With that idea in mind, I had the worst rating in college. [M]

But for some reason, I felt I could use it more ingeniously. I don't know if I can do it because I'm alive or dead, but I deceive the world with this stick of wood as a sword.

My phantom magic really settles the world as something that doesn't exist. Normally, if they find out about magic, it's over. At that point, it loses its effect.

But I didn't just use magic this time. Create a phantom and anchor it to the world.

"... okay"

At first glance, it's just a stick of wood. But there is a sharp blade on the extension of this wooden rod. I can't see. But there it is. That's how I built it.

"... UUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!"

The moment he popped out, five white wolves glanced at us. At the same time, he sees me as an enemy and tries to bite me. That speed is a monster, and I might have been scared. But right now... I can't live like this!!

And my invisible sword snapped White Wolf's neck. In a moment, something like a tattoo on my dominant arm glows red, but I couldn't care less now.

"Haaaaaaaaa!!!!!"

I raise all my shouts to arouse myself. [M] And my invisible sword cleaned the necks of all White Wolf.

This is where it begins. It was the beginning of my life as the new me. It was also the beginning of a long life in the world of dusk.
