Over The Infinite

-1 -

I have an old story to tell you. He's a hero, Tan, too old to even be sure of the source.

The content is extremely simple and lucid. That's all there is to it, that the brave man of man crusades the evil devil king...

Although a picture book can only be depicted to that extent, this story has long been handed down in various ways and has become a book, so many objects have been added with detailed settings. I guess it's a posterior setup, but there's not even a debate about which of these stories is true that's not even certain about the original. It's creative, so they're all fake and they're all real.

This story, which has been deciphered many times and transformed each time, remains unchanged after many different stories have been made, and is widely familiar with the "human beings" of the world.

About a year ago in physical time, in the latest book I read when I stopped in the human city, the setting was added that the brave man fought with three companions. In the version I read before, the heroine and I were fighting each other, so the number of people would have doubled.

Multiple depictions of executives have also been added to the enemy Demon Clan, creating a more dramatic battle between the Brave and the Demon King. It couldn't be forbidden to laugh that it was an outside road where executives were aligned and exhausted, but this is an interesting thing to do now.

It was originally created in a children's adventure play. Any setting would be fine if it were interesting. It's already separate from the picture books I read when I was a kid, but I think this is a good thing.

Some of the objects thoroughly portrayed by the Demon Nation as extremely evil and outrageous villains, with 90% of the continent as a dominant area, began with a state of despair that wiped out most of the human race. but that's too much, albeit a story. There's no way humans can sustain civilization in that state, and I'm not sure that 90% of them are down but the other 10% are still there.

... Well, I guess there's no problem with such a distant setting, because it's a story.

However, there are parts of the story that change the content in this way, change the settings, and are spinned.

The brave are man, good, and just. And demons, including demon kings, are villains. These two are the only absolute indisciplines, and they will not change.

Depending on the time, some pieces have different battle values, different characters, and different ends. Sometimes another race other than humans can be allies, or dragons that were enemies in earlier times can be allies. But it's the foundation of the story in a setting that never changes the way a righteous brave man defeats an evil demon king.

"Oh, the Demon Nation is a very scary species."

The girl I'm talking to. Says Satina.

Those eyes are empty, even if they are open, they do not reflect the light. You won't recognize me even if I'm right for this one.

"It's a gaga story. I'm a demon, too, but I've never thought of harming a human being."

It's a creation who doesn't even know when they made it. Instead of the original, it is suspicious that there may have been an original event.

In actual history, the Demons have never been hostile to humans. On the contrary, there is no record that the Demonic Nation fought a war with some country because it is on the extreme periphery. At best, it's about a civil war between demons. It has a record of at least a few thousand years. It is nearly impossible to fabricate them all. Even if it were possible, at best, it would be enough that some demonic tribes were mixed up in wars between countries. In that case, it's not strange to be in both countries. Because there are demons in every country.

I don't know the process by which this story was created, but an acquaintance of scholars said it was originally made as a propaganda for war with the brave men of man as their own country and the demon king as other countries. I wonder if future generations of humans could have easily altered that as a story.

There's no evidence, so it's just a guess, but it's not an impossible story.

"Are there no demon kings or brave men in fact?

"You have a demon king. Our king is the so-called Demon King. I've seen it a few times, but it was calm."

He was so sweet that he couldn't even kill the bugs. Even acting would be harder to do the villain. All the recorded demon kings said they were in that mood.

In actual history, it's decided to wage war. It's human. Always the Demons just get caught up in it. And most of the time, they're going to pull the poverty lottery.

"There's no reason for a brave man to crusade the Demon King."

"Ha, I'd kinda like a break from fighting the Demon King. It's not justice."

What Satina calls a brave man is not a brave man in a gaga story.

"So who will the brave fight?"

This kid is talking about me as a brave man.

"They're going to fight the bad neighbor, the kingdom of Orendia"

But it seems that the brave men of this world are not the embodiment of justice that defeats the evil demon king.

"I hear the kingdom is very big and strong. Will you be all right?"

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about it."

A brave man in this country is just a slave used as a weapon of aggression.

"Let's say, brave Sama"

When I left the room, a man spoke to me at a time that seemed to be waiting there.

He's a little guy who's always hella. Did you say Gonzalo by name….

"It's coral. Don't forget."

Sorry. I don't want to remember the human name of this country.

And that's a weird name. I don't even know what the word means, but it's not beautiful because of the sound of the sound.

"Were there no reincarnators in the world where Brave Sama was?

"You never had such a strange existence. Sure it was a birth replacement?

He dies and receives life again as another being while retaining his memory. They say there are a number of such examples in this world.

They call the raw thing before they die a previous life, but nothing in that previous life will be reincarnated from this world, not just from another.

I may have been reborn from the world I was in, and I thought a little bit about it, but I quickly lost interest that it had nothing to do with me.

This gong...... Coral is also its reincarnator, and it seems that the weird name is the result of its previous life and the names of its dots combined with the names of this world. I don't know why they fit together, but it would be weird if the names of different worlds were exchanged.

"How does it feel to start over raw as someone else?

Memories from previous life are common to go back to childhood, but some say they have memories at the newborn stage, or newborn babies. I should have spoken voluntarily before that this man did the same. I think it's just disgusting, such as a satirical baby, but don't parents think anything of it?

"It's no big deal. It's just a little silly and a lot of memory. I was somewhat smarter when I was a kid than I was around, but now I'm like this"

It is not uncommon for even premature children to be buried when they grow up, but even if the starting line itself is different, is that so?

It is through the raw of the demonic tribe that I feel that living for no reason but for a long time does not grow. The Demons are long in life, but most of them grow old without doing anything. Rather, it seems that humans can often make something better. In the short raw, I guess I'm trying to get the most out of it.

Reincarnation repeats the concept. Wouldn't an inherited life leave people apathetic?

"I see, how many years do you live to die once, but fools like you remain fools?"

"Say it, brave Sama. But, well, I'm definitely an idiot, and I'm not wrong. The fundamental part of rebirth can't be that different. Scum remains scum. Fools Remain Fools"

Well, I know you're an idiot, but I don't think you're a scumbag. True scum refers to the people in the upper echelons of this country. They are really hard fools to save.

"Do you still want to talk to Miss Satina today? You always do if you have time. Have I fucked you already? How are you feeling? Does it feel like a brave Sama thing after all?

You're still a lousy man. This guy keeps talking like that if he opens his mouth. Why do I have to expose my lower body situation?

In the first place, the Demons have such a thin desire instead of a long life span. Unlike people who have a year-round tantrum. I don't know about this man.

Maybe if the world were different, the law would be different again, but at least in the world I was in, Demons and humans don't have that kind of relationship. Even if that's possible in this world, there's nothing I can do with her.

"It's not like that with her. You know it's you."

"I know and I'm telling you. That's not how men talk to each other. He's an adult communicator. All this talk in the troops, but didn't brave Sama talk to your people like that either?

"I don't."

At least I don't have that kind of common sense in my life. I don't have company either. I've always been alone. Isolated among demons, distant to humans, there are only monsters on the battlefield. I wouldn't even talk to someone for years if I didn't have to. Only freaks talk more than me sometimes. You can't possibly acquire common sense of conversation between men. I don't think this guy's story fits, so I don't think that's very common sense.

"So, what can I do for you?

"Maybe it just really got through."

That can't be right. This guy who looks thin and still thin, but he doesn't do anything for nothing. The seemingly futile behavior also makes sense. It makes sense in this man's values.

"I don't want such fateful contact with you."

"I'm sorry too. The captain's calling. Meet me in the usual conference room tonight.... They're finally starting"

"... right"

They're finally starting a war with a bad kingdom.

... It would be easier if you were really a Demon King.

-3-

The kingdom of Orendia seems to be a great power located next to this country in this world. Its history is ancient and incomparable with that of this country, which has been able to institute itself in the last few decades.

They say that this country is a part of that kingdom and has survived with deference on this continent with many wars. If we don't, there's no way such a small country can survive.

History as well as the size and character of the country are not comparable. The Ligaritian Empire is the only country within the continent that can be compared to the Kingdom of Orendia in the first place. I just looked at the map and the brief dossier, but it's clear enough to tell. What a population ratio, they're both more than ten times the size of this country. It is foolish to turn your teeth in and of itself.

Such a small country is going to wage war on such a big country.... No, the end of the war is already open, so did you "set it up"?

To say that the kingdom that lays unfair oppression is not worthy of obedience, but it is actually just a war of independence.

Earlier man...... Sun...... somehow said that the kingdom seems exhausted in a civil war it has not made public right now. I guess you're going for that gap.

What do we do independently? How do you stand around with other countries around you with no asylum? What will be the response to the empire at heart? I probably don't have that vision. It could also be a childlike reason to just want to be independent.

As a result of the exhaustion of the kingdom, this country may also be chained down, but as far as I can tell, this country does not have the strength or the know-how to do so as an independent country. What shall we do with those who stood around in the shadow of the mighty man, stripping their fangs to him who is making that shadow? The people in the upper echelons can't see anything but the heat of war.

... the people, too. incited, the whole country mistakes this war for a just jihad. It's just stupid. No, the fool is a goro or something, so it's less than that. You're a big idiot. It's an irremediable country of jokes.

"Are we done here?

Routine training means simulating battles with the third army to which you belong and with the mercenary units hired there. That sago managed to belong to a mercenary regiment.

A mercenary, of course, is not a regular army, but the touch is that the level of practice is more than that. The assessment is correct, but the level of comparability is low, and this unit is no big deal. Evidence of this is that they are all rolling like this.

"Sama the Brave is strong. You can't hit the sword, and you can't kill me if you hit it."

Not all of them. Sun managed to stand beside me and start talking. Speaking of which, I didn't see this guy from earlier, but where was he hiding?

"Why don't you join us? Coral."

It's a shame, it's a coral.

There are corpses all around, and no one can get up. You belong to this unit, too. Why don't we just roll together? Shall I beat him up now?

"I can't do this wasted training. There's no point in being too isolated from brave Sama. I don't even know what the captain's thinking."

"It won't be a good reason to skip it"

As a unit, I'm doing it because the captain decided it was a necessary training as a job. I don't feel like it, but I'm doing it because I was asked to, too.

"I'm counting on surveillance as deputy captain, yes."

"You, you were the deputy captain"

"No, though. We don't have a vice captain."

He's kidding.... Well, I don't know what he's trying to say.

This training started when the mercenary captain asked me to, but I don't think it will come to fruition with too many different strengths. If he's used to coaching, he won't talk about it again, but all I can do is beat him up.

If you're antagonistic, or if you don't have that much power difference, you'll get it this way, but if you're so isolated, you can't steal technology. I just feel painful.

Not so much. The difference between me and these guys is intense.... No, is it with people in this world?

Neither level nor HP in this world seems to exist in the concept itself. That is a fact I learned as soon as I was summoned. The status itself seems to exist, but those items seem to be falling out of place.

Skill concepts and witchcraft exist. They also have action skills, but that alone will only acquire the power that is known to them. Most humans don't even have the art of checking their status. They're going to go with the church anyway to get confirmation. I went with that church once, but what I'm doing is just a simple appraisal. I wouldn't even see much information on that. What would you do if you had more than five skills? I was lucky to hide this power because I was mistaken on my own.

"I thought it was you? Is that shallow black skin made as special as a Lizardman?"

"I'm no different from you guys."

The Devil's skin is tougher than human's, but there's no big difference. You wouldn't know if I told this guy, but I can't slash him because he has a wall of HP.

The lack of HP means that the only thing that protects you is the physical wall. The iron armor worn by the soldiers of this country seems to withstand the attack with its hardness as metal. I can't help but fight like that without HP, but I think it's a tough world for a long time. Then it'll be hard to walk, and goblins will have difficulty defeating orcs anyway.

Humans are more vulnerable than demons. On top of that, we're still going to wage a war of aggression without any protection. It's quite a thing to be full of fighting instincts. Oh, was it the War of Independence?

As far as the corpses in this training ground go, a human opponent like that would have more than a tenfold battle ratio, but with me, it's enough to pull back. I'm the only one who can fight anything. If that makes sense, let's see the Kingdom of Orendia fall on its own. It's not about adults and children. If it's just strength, it's certainly not strange to be called a brave man. He is a very unpopular brave man who truly wields power over his children.

"Wow, the brave summons blessing. If I was summoned, I wouldn't be strong like that."

"Saana."

Hi guys here, they mistake this strength of mine for the added power with the summons... some kind of protection. Although the Translation skills do seem to have been added, nothing else has changed. I don't have to go out of my way to reveal what's in my hand, so I left it to mistake.

"Lord Brave will belong to our Third Army, but there is no arrangement set by you. Follow the instructions each time to work with each unit '

After an unsavory dinner, that was all that was communicated at the operational meeting and at the last minute. In short, I'll tell you where it's dangerous, so fight alone. No maneuvers, no shit.

But that captain would be right. You can't have decent cooperation with newcomers like me, and you don't have the strength to go with it.

If it were the Knights and Staff of this country, they would be forced to incorporate it into their troops and try to use it, so the mercenary captain knows better. It's huge that we're actually going through a war. You can praise me there.

"You have a good taste in stargazing before you go out, brave Sama."

Just one person looking at the stars in the courtyard, Gonzalo...... Sun Logo......

"Coral."

... Coral has spoken to me.

It's not going to be that day until we go out, but we won't have to prepare or work together. It's not a hobby to observe the stars, but there's nothing to do. It's basically forbidden to leave the royal castle, and Satina is already asleep at this hour, and this guy... is Sengola supposed to have something to do unlike me, but is he free?

"Sounds like you're uncomfortable with the operation. The original temples are getting worse."

"Shut up. Originally it's extra"

The top of the Buddha is original. Don't touch me because I care. I am aware that the child is strong enough to escape. Besides, a kid cries when he laughs. It will also be on the top of the Buddha.

"Was there a star in the world you were in?

"Things like this don't change. The stars are the stars, even if they're not in the same position or brightness."

I don't remember what arrangement the stars were shining in because I don't have a more romantic taste for looking at the stars than I did. I'm here because I'm just fine for thinking.

There was a satellite in my world called Gades.

"Because of?

Don't you know the satellite?... There's no way you don't know what those stars are.... I think this world has more round spheres than it has stars. No, don't you see? It's a different world. It can also be that this earth is the back of a giant turtle. I'll take a look at it on the horizon if I get a chance.

"Well, that's the kind of big star that lights up the night every night. Sounds like it's not in this world."

"Ho, so the night will be bright too? You don't need lighting. Economical."

"It's not that bright"

The absence of Gades is proof that this is a different world. When that thing is out in the sky, I feel like I've been held against my head, but I have something to miss without.

"Have you missed your hometown? Suddenly they called me here."

"I hate this country, but it's not like my hometown is thoughtful."

I just mentioned it as a topic because it became a star story.

I don't have a family either. My friend... is there, but I didn't see him often either. Physically, it's about once every few decades. Regardless of whether you can go home or not, even if you snuck home in a hundred years, it would be enough to say it's been a long time at best.... I don't know if anyone cares if I'm gone.

"If the world is different, it will be hard to go home, but isn't Sama the brave one running away?

"... you know that too, don't you? That magician is hanging me for brainwashing magic."

Brainwashing magic was hung shortly after being summoned. Sure, the effect should have been absolute obedience.

"But it's not working, is it?"

Lightly sun...... sun...... hellahella man says.

Oh, my God, I thought this country was only stupid, but some of you guys were spotting it. That stupid magician or Minister Akane hasn't noticed. That kind of magic works for me? The only thing that works is a guy who has a weakness in level single-digit or mental tolerance.

"It's wrong to wage a war without winning if I have to use you. Get out of here."

What, is this guy trying to get me away on purpose? You're gonna lose without me.

"That's not how it works"

"Are you going to turn up the fever on the woman you just met a few days ago, take her hostage, and even massacre her?

I see that's what he looks like to this man.

Sure, that's what I'm tied to. That's what's bothering me. Answer unchanged. I'm even considering a proposal for an opening that's not supposed to come out. I hold my head wondering if I can manage to save that poor child.

I'm not smart enough to come up with measures yet, but would a smart guy come up with a way to break the status quo?... This guy's an idiot too, so you're not going to be able to count on him.

"The brave men and the brave men of this country are responsible for the massacre of innocent opponents."

"Such a bloody hero, Tan, can't be a picture book."

Must be.

"Assuming you run away, without me, people in this country would be massacred the other way around"

My turn hasn't come yet, but the end of the war is open. I can't undo it any more than I've already bled.

"That's a good reason to get caught up.... That's okay. It's this way that I set it up. You just have to perish."

That's a very drastic statement. Though mercenary, I don't think it's very human language in this country.

"In that case, you're going to die, too?

"That's no choice. We're mercenaries. I'm getting paid. But you got nothing to pay for, right? It works for free. They told me to like that cursed lady, so it wouldn't be worth it."

…………

They provide me with clothing and accommodation, but that's all.

Suddenly it will be called, and even if it is not effective, it will be lacking as a consideration for being bewitched of obedience and sent to the forefront of the war of aggression. I'm not going to do anything about Satina, and I don't have that desire. You're right, there's more to it than it fits.

"If you were me, you'd win. You're the only one who can win. But then we're talking about why we're here."

"Isn't it for the money?

"Kah! That's right, you're right. Truth be told, we mercenaries are fighting for money.... but it's frustrating to see someone like you. It doesn't matter if you're here or not. I don't care if you get paid for that role."

Is he a mercenary? Does this guy have something he can't give away, too?... I don't get it.

"By and large, that's how I won by your power alone, though I doubt the state will pay us"

"So is that."

That's more realistic for a reason. I'm not busy, so if the hiring side is gonna-- that's it.

That's how some mercenaries were overpaid in my world. I'm not a mercenary, but I've been stomped down before, too. Employment-side power is strong in countries where laws are not in place. Not to mention more if war is a rough thing. It's no wonder they erase it when it's used up.

"You're the one who should run away. Perhaps he was originally trying to escape because he was confused."

"As long as Sama the Brave doesn't understand our captain's escape. You're going to win. If you want to escape, it is easier to move if you want to escape clean and refreshing. So just run. Get out of here. Get out."

It's a terrible thing to say, but I'm not left for you.

"It's good, forget about that woman. You're too heavy to live with."

"I can't..."

I saw it. I found out. That way, you can't forget. That's how it's inseparable. I am.

Brave men do not abandon such a girl. But it would not be brave again to engage in mass slaughter in the war of aggression. I know that. I know.

"Damn, I'm a brave Sama, so I wish I could just dive into the dungeon and exorcise the dragon like a gaga story."

"... there are dragons in this world too?

Diving into a dungeon is something I've been doing until the other day. I don't mind doing it, but is there such an organism in this world as well? In these vulnerable people, even the hybrid opponent has teeth to stand.

"It's an analogy. If there were such a monster, civilization would collapse in the vicinity. I can't help it. I can do it because it's a gaga story."

"A pureblood or an ancient species is tough, but just a dragon can do anything."

If you have an arm that you couldn't bring with you at the time of the summons, you can manage it more... if it's about the top species.

Speaking of which, the Item Box was also empty, what happened to the contents?

"You're really a monster. Sama the Brave."

I've been working on it lately. Besides, there are strong monsters even if they are not dragons. Even goblins are powerful enemies if they rise in character.

"Is there a dungeon in this world, too?

"Oh? There is, you mean the hole where the monsters gush. Sometimes when you're a mercenary, you join a dungeon. Basically, it's an adventurer's job, but I can't even say that there are many of them. Is that even in the world of brave Sama?

"There is."

There's no level, no HP, but it's a good thing to do.

"Does that mean there's an infinite corridor somewhere?

"What the hell is that infinity?"

"If you don't know. Never mind."

I've always wondered if it would be difficult for Satina to succeed in the magician of this country to make a one-way trip between worlds.

Or is it right that I fell into this world because I was in the infinite corridor? So the guy who said the infinite corridor was connected to the rest of the world would be right. It was eyebrow spitting, but it's a big deal. No, I haven't been able to demonstrate it yet.

"Are those adventurers and those who are caged in dungeons for food?

Even if you say it differently, it sounds like a labyrinth seeker in my world.

"Adventurers aren't such superior. How do you make money with a monster?"

"I don't know why."

I can't help it because I don't know. Defeat the monster and you will get some kind of item. Does that not establish itself as a profession?

... Oh, are there too many power differences to fit the bill? Convinced.

"Rumor has it that some cities do that. Hey, adventurers can't be anything. It's a profession where the one can't help it."

"Right."

I thought if there was an infinite corridor, or we could go back to the original world, but for this minute, it doesn't seem to be in the civilized realm of mankind.

Want to search around the Dark Continent and the Great Forest of Demons I heard about? One day you'll get there if you tour the ruins and dungeons from one end to the other. The premise is that there's an infinite corridor in this world, but there's only one way to believe him.

... is it more of a problem in front of you than that?

The battle against Orendia has already begun. My turn is near. In the meantime, if we manage to figure out a way to save Satina, we won't be able to find a way back to the original world.

He wants to be a brave man, at least about the core part, and he can't do it unless he wants to be.

-4-

"I'll be away for a while from tomorrow."

"Is this a war with the kingdom? I'm sure a brave man will be fine, but be careful."

"I'll do it right."

There may be a more strategic losing phase than an individual named me being the greatest force, but I won't die myself if I make a mistake.

You may exercise the magic you keep secret if you have to. But at this minute, you may not even need action skills.

"Because the brave are the brave. You can never beat a bad kingdom."

"... oh yeah"

Even if I know, I'm about to break my heart with Satina's terribly pure and blind words.

Here, it would be easier if I told you the truth. I'm not a brave man or anything, and jihad is just a war of aggression, and you're a criminal who kidnapped slaves from other worlds to crush in that war.

".........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"No, it's nothing"

But how harsh it is. I'm sure I won't keep Satina's heart. It collapses easily.

Otherwise, if I show a slight defiance, this child will be further cursed. Just because he was fit, he was forced to use a black orb, and he lost his sight in exchange for his subpoena skills?

Such a thing is not justice. Not the brave man I admired.

For that mage, Satina is insurance. Those guys who don't know that brainwashing isn't working on me won't hesitate to take Satina's life either. If I'm fit for a spell, I can easily pay this amount of curse.

I don't even know why I'm so thoughtful about this kid. The race is different. The country of birth is different. Even the world is different. Besides, he called me into this world. If this is the story, it's the villain side of the person.

But it is the brave who save the weak, the abused. That's the vitality I need to move on because I'm me.

I'm sure if we abandon Satina here, we won't be able to move on. I can see that.

"Master Brave?

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving."

... Oh, how weak I am. It's so funny that such a weak guy is a brave man.

"Yes, I'm blind to this street, and I can't walk, but instead I pray here all the time"

I don't know who to pray to.

But God in this world. If there is, could you save this child?

You don't have to be God. Anyone.

I can only play the role of a warrior.

Somebody help me.

"Hey, have you come to say goodbye?"

What I was waiting for on my way to the rendezvous point was a little guy with a hella and a slight grin.

"... coral"

"Oh, looks like you finally remembered your name. I repeat, you said something."

Don't get annoyed with that winning face.

"I already forgot."

"Hiya, man."

I'm sure you have an intuitive understanding of my mood for such a joke. I feel like I've been helped a lot.

... I don't want this guy to die either.

"Well, good luck not dying."

"I'm famous because I'm alive and dirty. Whoever dies in our squad won't die just me."

"Sure enough, you're not going to die if you kill him."

So let's at least remember the name or so. In this sweeping rotten country, I think you're worth it to me.

"And stop being that brave Sama"

"Isn't Brave Sama Brave Sama? Or I don't know his name."

Yeah, speaking of which, I don't remember being introduced as a brave man and naming anyone but those scumbags.

"My name is Berenvar. It is called Berenvar Igmut. Remember, Coral."

"Oh, did you have a family name? … Copy, remember"

I have an old story to tell you. He's a hero, Tan, too old to even be sure of the source.

The content is extremely simple and lucid. That's all there is to it, that the brave man of man crusades the evil devil king...

When I was young, I admired the story and wanted to be a brave man.

Seeing me like that, humans and my fellow Demons said that the Demons who are supposed to be villains can't be brave.

But I couldn't give up. I wanted to be the ideal person I dreamed of.

That's why I challenged the "Infinite Corridor", the death test of everything being fulfilled.

Power was acquired in exchange for countless deaths. But I feel like I haven't come a step closer to my ideals by gaining the kind of power I call a hero.

That's how I got here. To this ridiculous world called the brave and forced to do evil deeds.

From the way of the brave, I feel away from the righteous manifester. The closer you try to get, the farther away your ideals go.

Do you think the Demons are destined not to be brave?

You tell me to give up my ideals, do you say so?

No one will respond.
