2 Former Heroes Go to the frontier at ease




 --Knox, Duke of Westfeldt's Domain in the Kingdom of Ad Astera.
 In the most prosperous city of the Duke's Domain of Westfeld, located at the southern end of the Kingdom of Ad Astera, a robed figure walked quietly in the middle of the most prosperous city of the Duke's Domain of Westfeld, located at the southern end of the Kingdom of Ad Astera.

 In the midst of the bustling city, the figure does not attract attention because such people are not uncommon here.
 Due to its proximity to the borders of other countries and the fact that the so-called frontier is spread out nearby, people with all kinds of circumstances flow in.

 But such people usually end up the same.
 When they realize they don't belong here either, they leave the city early.

 And so it was with the robed figure.
 As you proceeded out of the city, you would pass through the gates.

 And so, without looking back, he keeps walking...

It's not that I really thought they would come to get rid of it, but I didn't expect them to have anything to do with it. It's a good thing that they're not going to be able to do anything about it. It's just a matter of doing what you want to do.

 He muttered to himself and looked back just once.

 His eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly turned to face forward.
 The hood of his robe was abruptly pulled off, and from inside emerged the face of a boy.

 The boy - Allen's face is truly radiant.
 Even though he was just recently expelled from his parents' home, you can't feel that kind of atmosphere from his appearance.

 That's right, Allen was expelled from his parents' home just a few minutes ago.
 It is hard to believe that he is a boy who just turned fifteen the other day, walking straight out of town with a clear face.

 However, that's just as well.
 Strictly speaking, Allen is not fifteen years old - he has memories of his previous life.

 --A reincarnation.

 That's what it's called, and it's why Allen seems strangely radiant.
 Because, if you know what I mean, I've always wanted to leave the house.

 In a previous life, Allen was what is called a hero.
 A hero who saved the world in the literal sense of the word.

 But being a hero didn't mean his life was glamorous.
 Rather, it was more of a bloody life, and he was often caught up in the gloom and gloom in terms of conspiracy numbers.
 It would not be an exaggeration to say that the assassins' attempt on my life was an everyday occurrence and that I rarely had a moment of peace of mind.

 At the end, you saved the world and now people are looking at you with fear.
 Disgusted with the situation, Allen decided to leave the world.

 Fortunately, or perhaps I should say, Allen had the hand and the means to do so.
 Allen's power as a hero had been given to him by the goddess of that world.
 It was also because the goddess had given him a role to play in saving the world, and as a result of fulfilling that role, he was given the right to make any wish come true.

 Thus, Allen's wish was properly granted and he was able to reincarnate in this way.
 The reason it was reincarnation, not transference, was because I wanted to start over from scratch.

 But that's as far as Allen's wishes went.

I came to this world in search of a peaceful life ......

 But for some reason, he was reincarnated into the duke's family.
 You will be able to see that you have a lot of fun with your own hands.

 Yes, he is now called a failure, but he was once called a child prodigy.

 It's not just because of the memories of his or her previous life, it's because he or she had the memories of his or her previous life, that's what he or she deserved.

"I wondered what kind of harassment was going on at the time, because of 'level' and 'status,'

 This world is said to be a world loved by gods and spirits.
 The reasons for this are "Level", "Status", and "Gift".

 Levels and status are given by spirits, and gifts are given by gods.
 Therefore, it is a world loved by gods and spirits.

 And this is a world where all three are considered absolute.
 The reason for this is simple: Basically, the three are absolute.

 Status" is an objective quantification of an individual's abilities and is divided into seven categories: strength, speed, cleverness, dexterity, dexterity, physical strength, magic, and luck.
 As mentioned above, these numbers are absolute, and a man with "Strength" 1 can never beat a man with "Strength" 2, and vice versa.
 Even if the difference is only one, there is an irreversible difference, and it is impossible to overturn it in principle.

 The status at birth is often between 0 and 2, where 0 does not mean that the child has no ability, but rather that it is less than 1.
 The higher the value, the higher the ability, so that a status of 3 at birth is considered to be a gift in that field without a doubt.

 The value of each status does not remain the same throughout your life, but the timing of the change is fixed.
 That's when your level rises.

 Level is also known as your soul's rank, and it increases as you gain experience.
 And when you do, your status will rise according to your previous experience, but levels are not easy to raise.
 Levels are basically zero at birth, but it takes at least a year to raise a level, and the number of years required increases with each level.
 The ease of raising a level or the upper limit of the level varies from person to person, but there are even stories of people who trained for twenty years and never raised a level.

 Also, the amount of status that increases as you level up is not nearly as dramatic as it should be.
 If you focus on training only in your talent area, it may or may not go up by two.
 It is almost impossible to raise your status by 3.

 Furthermore, although both status and level are given to you by the spirits at birth, it is customary to measure your status and level by using the appraisal method on your fifth birthday.
 This is because it is believed that knowing the presence or absence of a talent too early is detrimental to growth.

 Therefore, efforts to raise the level of talent are inevitably made after that, but as mentioned before, the level is very difficult to raise.
 Although we said that it takes at least one year to become one, it usually takes five years on average to become one, and ten years on average to become two.
 If you have a level 3 at the age of fifteen when you reach adulthood, you will almost certainly be called a genius, and if you have a level 4, you will be called a child prodigy.
 Incidentally, if one of your status values at that time is greater than 5, you are also called a genius.

 And .
 Allen was already at level 1 at the time of his five-year-old status evaluation, and all of his statuses were 5.
 It's a good thing that you're a child prodigy.

...... Well, I guess I should say it was a good thing it only took me five years to get there.

 But that was also until Allen turned ten years old.
 Even after his tenth birthday, Allen's level remained at 1.
 His younger brother and others, who were a year younger than him, had already risen to 2, but his level never rose.

 And so, in a sense, Allen was no longer called a child prodigy, his father called him a bastard, and his brother looked at him with contempt.
 You should have been banished at that point, or at least Allen wanted to be banished, but the reason why that didn't happen is because of the gift.

 The gift is a boon given by the gods and is a powerful force that can sometimes overturn a disadvantage in status.
 That's what I meant in principle; a gift can overturn a status difference.

 However, what gift you can give is not the same in every case, and it's only a possibility.


 Basically, in a sense, the benefits given by the gift are very limited.

 For example, with the gift of the Sword Mastery, you will be able to wield a sword like a top swordsman even if you have never held a sword before, and with the gift of the Mighty Warriors Hercules, even if you have no power, you will be able to easily wield a rock many times your size with one hand. With the gift of "Monster Master", you will be able to communicate with demons.
 If you are given the gift of the Monster Master, you will be able to communicate with demons, and if you are given the gift of the Celestial Spirit, you will be able to see the level, status and gifts of your opponent.
 But whatever it is, you can get the benefits that are worthy of a gift from the gods.

 And this gift, unlike status, is not given to you at birth.
 It is necessary to perform a ceremony called the Blessing.

 The Blessing Ceremony is performed by those who have come of age, and is a ceremony to celebrate coming of age.
 So when Allen, who recently came of age, received his blessing ...... Allen also caused an unprecedented event.
 The gift was never given.

It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your life. ...... Hmmm, when I think back on it again, I think I'm pretty much the same thing in this world. ......

 But that's as far as it goes.

 As I've said before, this situation is exactly what Allen wants.
 That's also why he didn't offer any resistance at that time.

 The reason why you were trembling in the first place was not to endure the humiliation.
 I was holding back so that I wouldn't accidentally smile.

 It's been fifteen years since I was born into a duke's family (・・・・・・・).
 It's not that I didn't care about being called a loser, I just wanted to be rid of it every time I was called that, but now I can finally find peace.

 It's going to feel great.

 I'm not worried at all, and I had already decided where I wanted to go.
 That's why I left the city without any hesitation.

I wonder what kind of place is this ......

 --A frontier area.
 That's where Allen was headed.

 To be honest, I don't know that much about it, but since it's called a frontier, it must be far away from the commotion and disturbances.
 I'm sure that this time we will be able to live a peaceful life.

 With that hope in his heart, Allen continued on his way to the east.
