A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

There's a word for hell.

It is a term used to refer not only to religious connotations, but also to tragic events. For “him”, who is walking a new life as a revulsion, most of his life can only be described as hell.

I don't know about the cause of death in my previous life, but I think it is caused by overwork due to overwork. That is to say, he engaged in harsh labor for long enough to lose his life.

Even with such a revulsion, the life gained from the new life was only hell. Led by the death of his parents at a young age, he was tortured like a horse for more than a decade. I admire myself for being able to survive to the age of majority in this world.

However, I couldn't help but admire the fact that I was sold out as a slave because I was an adult.

Hurry up and get the water! You're not resting!

In the dream, the curse that was directed “at the time” echoes. It was the word of a three-year-old who had lost his parents less than ten days, and Reus, who had received the word, was walking with both hands in a barrel about half his body.

The village is a community, and the village will take care of you even if your parents die. It was Reurus who thought about it right after his parents died, but the reality was hell beyond compassion.

There is a difference in identity within the village, and Reurus is at its bottom. Compared to “ordinary” peasants, the treatment is poor, and contrary to their status as peasants, they are actually treated as slaves. Because of this situation, the Reurus, who had just lost his parents, was also severely used.

A lowly position that makes farmers think, "I don't want this to happen.” Because of this position, Reurus, who can only be called a toddler, was also employed.

Walk to the stream that flows out of the village of Shenna, then fetch the water and take it to the field, then back to the stream.

Repeating it like every day for two years. When I grew a little taller while lacking nutrition, I was told to cultivate the field with a hammer.

I'll send the water to the kid over there. You plow the fields. "

Turning to that, there was a boy of similar age to Reurus. As far as I can tell, it seems like a child whose parents were killed by a monster, just like Reurus.

If there were any differences from Reurus, the boy would not have remembered his previous life. Crying hungrily, crying at the daily forced water transport, falling and crying while carrying water, crying at the remembrance of the death of his parents, beaten by the village superiors, crying, kicked and crying.

The boy cried all the time, unlike Reurus, who knew his health and was moderately lazy to avoid dying. And after a week, he lost his life.

"Shit... I can't use it anymore. Hey, bury that corpse. And fetch your own water from the fields!

Kick a boy who doesn't wake up even when the sun rises and make sure he's breathing, the village superiors tell him to throw up. Speaking of what Reurus could do, the superiors were right to bury the boy.

The end of the village's communal cemetery - it is transported to a place in the village where the underprivileged can be buried, digging deep holes to avoid being dug up by monsters in the event of an accident, covering the soil, and throwing a pile in place of a gravestone.

How long have you been doing this?! Work fast!

And finally, he was beaten up by his superiors to pray for the boy's happiness. I don't think I'm going to give you time or space to pray for others.

Reurus still eats his teeth and keeps working carefully to prevent him from dying. I keep working while “dropping off” the younger boys and girls that I occasionally bring.

After five years of cultivating the fields in this way, I was told to cultivate the fields outside the village. The outside world, where monsters trek, is full of danger, and if they are unlucky, they die in one day. Still thinking that it might be possible to escape from the village, Reurus carefully carried out the farming work.

As a result, I learned of the monster threat. I knew exactly how dangerous it was outside the village. He decided that running away was nothing but suicide and waited for a turning point.

In the middle of the farming work, he punched through the monitoring gap, eating insects and grass, sipping muddy water, identifying the critical amount of work required by the superiors, and then struggling to connect the raw ones.

However, Reurus is alone and has more than one surveillance. Though there are others who are engaged in agricultural work, it is noticeable that they often get out of hand. As a result, he found out several times, but he was never killed.

They don't want to kill the peasants. I only wanted to use it as a labor force, and I was accustomed to using it. He was beaten up when he found out about the clutch, but there was some bleeding and bruising, but he never broke bones or injured his internal organs.

Next time you take your hands off me, I'll feed you a monster, you little shit!

Threats like that to the fallen Reurus and returns to farming. At that time, blood was flowing, so I called a dog-shaped monster with a sharp sense of smell and ran away desperately.

That life lasted until it was sold away from the village, but I think it would have been easier to die as a realuse that looked back in my dreams. But he was already dead once. I don't know why I was reborn with the memories of my previous life, but I don't want to die again.

Even if I sipped muddy water and ate insects and weeds, I wanted to live.

Without the memory of the previous life, he would have died early, but because of the memory of the previous life, it can be said that he has survived and struggled so far.

--Still, it's better than dying.

That's why I'm alive now.

Cancún, a high metal sound sounds.

A room in Dominic's restaurant, Reurus, who slept in the warehouse, woke up with that sound from afar.

It's not the sound of a time bell, it's the alarm of an event. While awake and spinning slowly, Reurus suddenly awakens his consciousness and jumps out of a handmade straw bed.

"Hey, what is it!? What happened!?

I was slightly confused because I remembered my life in the village of Shenna in my dreams, or where I was. Still, when she returned to me immediately, she slapped her cheeks and then turned to the edge of the storage room.

What was there was a set of equipment that was specially allowed to be taken back from the Adventurers' Union because of the high risk of Kimira coming. Rapidly wearing them, Reurus jumps out of the warehouse and pairs up with Dominic, who thinks he was already awake.

"Hey, what about me!?

"It must be a monster attack. I don't know if it's Kimira."

It seems to be an emergency, but Dominic's answer is calm itself. Aware of the rushing footsteps of the adventurers outside Dominic's restaurant, Reurus once again confirms that he is equipped and attempts to join the adventurers.

"Drink some water first. Calm down."

But Dominic stopped the rush. When the glass is served with water, Reurus hesitates slightly before accepting the glass and drinking it all at once.

"I'm glad you're willing to help this town, but it's Mt. Seki who jumps out to sleep and dies. Clear your head at least."

"... cumming"

Not weak in the morning with many years of farmer life, but, as Dominic put it, standing in front of a monster with a sleepy head would only kill him. Reurus, convinced by that thought, gets another glass of water, sprays it on the hand wipe, and then wipes his face.

"Good morning, Mr. Reurus. Here you go."

Then Corona, who thought she was working in the kitchen, came forward. The unusual soft smile is not there, it makes me slightly nervous.

The corona served a sandwich with thinly sliced meat and vegetables sandwiched in the bread, and Reurus thankfully received it.

"Morning, Corona. And thank you, I'm going to eat it right away."

That's all I'm telling you, Reurus, and I'm going to grab a sandwich. Normally, I would like to express my feelings and gratitude for the deliciousness, but I don't have time right now. When I finished eating the sandwich in just a minute or two, I finally drank the water and got up.

"Uhh... calm down, old man. Then I'll see how it goes. Never leave the store, Corona."

It's not long enough to wake up, but thanks to the water and the meal, I woke up. Reurus uses a sword band to secure the sword to his waist and then removes a large bronze coin from his pocket and places it on the table.

"Ah, wait, Mr. Reurus. I made it in a hurry, could you take this with you?

Corona stops the revus that is about to rush out and offers a cradled basket. Corona smiled unfortunately as Reus tilted his neck about what was in it.

"It's a sandwich. It may not be possible right away, but I want the adventurers to eat it during the break."

When I received the basket while listening to such words, I wondered if there was much in it. It was heavy. Apparently, it happened before Reurus, and he made it in advance.

"Okay, just give it to everybody... I want to eat it all by myself."

"You can't do this anymore. I'll prepare dinner for you, so please eat when you get back... please come home without getting hurt.

It was a corona that smiled at Reurus's joke, but eventually turned into an anxious face. Seeing it, Reurus scratched his head and laughed to reassure him.

"Besides, fish like me throw stones from afar. I'll look forward to Corona's cooking."

Leaving a bluff, Reus jumped out of Dominic's restaurant.

Reurus runs through Laval Waste City in the early morning. The residents of the abandoned city of Laval, who normally have been active since the early morning, did not appear, and seemed to have grown up and locked up inside the house.

Without taking the time to cross the unpopulated road, you reach the gates separating Laval Waste City from the outside world. Looking around, he found several adventurers and rushed over.

"What happened... Senpai Nicola!? Are you okay to get up already?!

The adventurers who rushed forward. Finding Nicolas in it, Reurus shouted in surprise. It was Nicolas, who was bandaged all over her body and wearing inexpensive equipment loaned by the Adventurers' Union, just like Reurus.

"Hello, Reurus. I saved your life yesterday."

Nicola laughs and raises her hand as she finds Reurus. I behaved as if I wasn't injured, but I sat on the ground wondering if it was even difficult to stand up. Because I bled too much, my complexion is pure white and looks like a ghost.

Even if you decorate the words, you can only say that you are seriously injured, and if you decorate the words, you will be half-dead. Rather, I want to ask how I got here.

"The monster I couldn't get rid of. You shouldn't be sleeping too much."

"Sleep there! If you fall, you're gonna die!?

It was Nicolas who answered first whether he understood what Reurus wanted to hear, but as a Reurus, I could only tell him to stay asleep. It was obvious to amateurs that they would die if they were not treated after resting.

Reurus turned his eyes to the adventurers around him, but all they had to do was squeeze their shoulders and laugh. I bet you persuaded him the same way Reurus did, but Nicolas wouldn't have listened.

"Calm down, Reurus... I didn't come here without thinking. Kimira's manners... have a strong attachment to the missed prey. That's why if I'm in town, the damage could get worse."

"Bear!? Is that it? Well, I forgot the type, but it's a bear..."

It was an unexpectedly loud realuse, but I tilted my neck without confirming what I said.

Mushrooms, polar bears, bears. I think it was one of them, but I can't recall it accurately in the worn-out memories of the previous life. However, Reurus thinks that one of them should have been obsessed with his prey by the time he got sick.

However, such knowledge has no meaning here. If Kimira was really obsessed with the missed prey, there was a risk that she would follow Nicolas into the abandoned city of Laval.

"If it was true, I should have been killed on the spot, but I needed to report on Kimira's movements and Sharon... I was going to erase as many traces as I could..."

"... maybe Kimira is already here?

Is that why the alarm was ringing? In that case, there would already be no time to spare.

"No, not yet.” A monster fleeing Kimira is coming out of the woods. The others are on their way to intercept. "

It was Tony who interrupted the conversation. There was Sharon behind it, but unlike Nicolas, she looked fine.

Sharon lowers his head as soon as he finds Reurus.

"I heard from my brother. Reurus, thank you for helping me and my brother yesterday. Thank you."

"No, I just happened to be in that place. If you're grateful, tell Senpai Nicolas. Even though I was so injured, I ran away from Kimira holding Senpai Sharon... or Senpai Sharon, please stop Senpai Nicola."

"My brother is stubborn, so I won't listen."

Sharon tells her thanks to stop Nicolas, but she refuses without hesitation. Reurus shrugged his shoulders at Sharon's reaction and decided to ask what he was curious about.

"By the way, Senior Nicola. Kimira said she was obsessed with the prey she let go, so... me, too?

If so, it will contribute to this disturbance. Rather, it could be the beginning, and Reurus asked if he was afraid.

"... I can't deny the possibility. But unlike me and my brother, if they weren't attacking, I don't think it would have much impact."

"If I was attacking, I'd be dead on the spot... but I see."

Was it a consolation or a mere statement of fact? Sharon tells me not to worry. That alone has lightened the shoulder load a little, but it has no effect on the current situation where Kimira is approaching.

Tony laughed to see how Nicolas was doing in response to the reassuring revulsion.

"It's been a day since you ran away from Kimira and came to this town, right? If he was after you, he'd be dead by the time he got to this town."

"Please don't tell me you're dead!? They were swimming in the river, smelling the smell out of the crushed leaves! Try spending the night in the dark on a tree in a situation where other monsters might attack you!

At that time, I was terrified of when Kimira would catch up, but I was outraged when I was told it was pointless. I'm glad I was able to deceive the other monsters, but it doesn't feel good to hear that Kimila was dead if she chased me.

"What the hell... you were a peasant, right? How do you know how to scatter such traces?"

"I was in charge of the field outside the village! If I didn't have a way out, I wouldn't be alive until I was my age!

The truth is, I relied on my worn-out prior knowledge to escape, but I decided to use it because there were pretexts for dressing up. There was a hunch that the monster would react when it approached, but I wouldn't let it out because I couldn't trust you.

When you're talking like that, the alarm sounds like you're interrupting the conversation. It was heard from elsewhere, not from the south gate where Reurus and the others were.

"... from outside?

We don't know the distance, but Reurus leans to the alarm he sounds from outside Laval Waste City. It seemed that the regular sound had some meaning, and Tony frowned like a bitter bug.

"Looks like the one who came out to search found the monster... oh, my God, I came to take a break. It's bedtime since last night, motherfucker."

"Well, then, Tony, have a bite to eat and get some rest."

"Hmm? What is that?

Tony murmured in a mood, but he's been watching all night since last night. In that case, Reus laughed and handed over the basket he had received from Corona.

"It's a handmade corona sandwich. Please eat together."

"Oops! Thanks for the sleigh!

Tony starts fishing for baskets as soon as he hears about Reurus. The Reurus laughed bitterly and laughed to deceive the tension.

"Now, then, I'll work for you too. Surveillance is good, but we have to kill the monsters and make money!

"Oops, the young monkey is fine. It's good to go into battle, but don't start eating monsters on the spot like a" monster eater ".

"Nothing is as delicious as that...."

Still, if it were a delicious monster, I might eat it. As Reurus swallowed the words, Nicolas, who had sat down until then, stood up shaking her body.

"Don't worry, Tony, I'm coming out too. Reurus' instruction was still a little good, and it was just right."

"What does a half-dead say? No, I think I can fight better than Reurus because I can use my magic."

Tony will not stop Nicolas trying to fight. I thought Nicolas was a half-dead, but if he fought, he seemed to respect that decision.

"I wonder if I have a low rating or if Senpai Nicolas has a high rating... but when I hear the answer, it looks depressed. Senpai Nicola, I won't stop fighting, but if you think it's impossible, just stand back.

"I'll follow you, so it's okay. If you can't, I'll grab the neck and throw it into town."

Sharon is serious, not joking, and if Nicolas decides she can't fight, she will faint and retreat. Nicolas raised her hands to surrender.

"Either way, most of the equipment is borrowed. He says he's hunting a lot of junk fish."

"If you're going to grow up, you should see a doctor right away...."

Unexpectedly, Reurus enters the crowd, but if Kimira's habits are true, he thinks he is responsible for the current situation. I don't think I'm going to get much medical attention in such a situation.

"... because he's really stubborn."

As he picked up Sharon's small, murmuring voice in his ear, Reus turned to the outside of town.

If they told me to protect the village of Shena, which had spent most of the world, I would have abandoned it with a smile. Instead, he might have even taken a ride in a monster raid.

But for Reurus, the abandoned city of Laval is a place that reminds us that we are human beings. The conversation I had with Nicolas seemed pleasant.

The word heaven told Tony is by no means a lie. Even though we need to fight the terrible existence of monsters, it is still a place we want to protect.

(Well, I don't know what I can do...)

I don't know what I can do for a runaway adventurer. Still, to defend his new location, Reurus rushed out with a temper.
