　After I, Light, successfully got revenge on Garou the Beast Race, the first place I went after getting out of "The Abyss," the world's biggest and worst dungeon, was to my parents' graveside, which they had built in their former hometown.

　The reason for my "former" hometown was that the village had been destroyed by demons, bandits, armies, or something else, I don't know.

　After overcoming various restrictions such as leveling up, I was able to leave the "abyss," and when I went to check on the village, I found that it had already been overrun, parents and villagers had been killed and their corpses left behind, and buildings, fields, and livestock sheds had been burned down or burned to the ground.

　Even if we tried to determine the cause of the fire, it was too long since the fire had faded, and we did not know whether the culprit was a demon or a different species.

　The only lucky thing was that among the countless corpses, there were no bodies of me, Niichan, or my sister, Yume. I searched a fairly wide area and the surrounding area, but still no bodies were found.

(Maybe they escaped safely and are still alive. ......)

　I was so hopeful that I ordered my men, who were outside gathering information, to search for the two men and also to find the cause of the destruction of the village and the culprits.

　It was about six months ago that I retrieved the bodies of their parents, villagers who had helped them, and children who might have been their friends, and made graves for them.

　He places a handful of flowers in front of the grave and prays that his parents and the villagers will depart safely to the Goddess of Mercy.

　When he finishes praying, he stands up and brushes the dirt from his knees.

I ask, "...... are you done?"

　One of the guards and fellow adventurers who was watching my prayer, "UR, Level 5000 Golden Knight Gold I was very excited to hear the voice of "I'm a very good person.

As the name "golden knight" implies, he was dressed in golden armor from head to toe, and the shield on his back was also golden, making him stand out from the crowd.

　His offensive ability is not that high, but he specializes in defense, which is why he was chosen to accompany us this time.

I was able to say hello to Dad and Mom and tell them what I've been up to.

Then let's get the hell out of here. I want to get to my destination and rest at the inn while there is still daylight!　I don't want to spend my first day in the field.

Gold!　How dare you talk like that when Mr. Wright is hurting!　Think about your feelings a little before you speak!　And use honorifics!

　The girl standing next to Gold is furious at his comments.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is "UR, Level 5000 Assassin Blade Nemmu," one of his escorts and fellow adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is a beautiful 17 or 8 year old girl with beautiful silver hair a little above her shoulders, a scarf covering her mouth, and brown skin.

　She was looking at me, who had just been visiting a grave, with a worried look on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was looking at me as if she was in pain, as if a knife were being stabbed into her own chest and gouged out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I was furious at Gold's careless words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gold, however, paid no attention to Nemumu's comment and shrugged his shoulders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Honorifics are so boring because they don't convey intimacy. Besides, Nemmu, you don't want to spend your first day in the field, either, do you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't put me in that position with you!　I would go with you on grass, in the mud, in the garbage, even if you were with Mr. Wright!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I would be with the Lord on the coldest winter mountain or on the hottest magma. To give golden allegiance to the Lord is the chivalrous spirit of the "Golden Knight. ...... But if we think of the Lord's comfortable sleeping environment, isn't it a natural consideration to avoid camping out in the open?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　If you are considering the sleep and health of Mr. Wright, you should avoid staying in the field from the first day. ......

I hate to say it, but I don't think you should be so eager to show off your loyalty, especially to Ellie.　I don't want to push it too hard, and I don't want the Lord to hate me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!　We don't like the fact that Mr. Wright hates us!　Above all, even if you hate me, I will only serve you as a devout servant!　Even if I die and become a soul, I will do my best!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gold's voice leaks out in a tone of dismay, and Nemmu's voice trembles with tears in her inherently slit and beautiful eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although the two did not intend to do so, the somber atmosphere was replaced as if blown away by the fresh air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't help but smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's okay, Nemmu. It's okay, Nemmu. I don't hate you guys. Don't tease Gold too much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, Mr. Wright!

The Lord is too kind and too good. Sometimes a horse is not understood if he does not speak properly. ......

　Nemum's expression brightened with a 'poof' as if a light had been turned on, and Gold spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders in disgust, as if to say, 'Oh dear.

'Well, let's go. I don't want to be out in the field on the first day either."

　In fact, if you have to stay in the field, you can just use the power of the card "SSR, Transition" obtained from the infinite gacha to return to the "abyss" once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would like to avoid the awkwardness of returning to the "abyss" on the first day I go out, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turn my back to my parents' grave and pick up the "SSR, Clown's Mask" that I got from the "Infinite Gacha" from the item box, a black hood, and a wand.

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

　Before departing, I look back at my parents' graves one more time.

(I was almost killed by a member of the "Gathering of the Tribes" who was not a "Masutar" in the "Natsura", just to make sure I was not. Totally unrelated to that, how is it possible that the village where I was born and raised just happened to be unlucky enough to get everyone killed and destroyed?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The usual answer is 'no.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how many monsters and bandits attacked a pioneer village near a virgin forest, it is impossible for it to be so blatantly destroyed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(It was a country, and they were the ones who tried to kill me, just in case. It's my birthplace, so there's a good chance they would have destroyed it.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know the reason for being so thorough, but the possibility cannot be ignored.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the state really did destroy even my village "just in case"--

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I will definitely reveal the truth to you, Dad, Mom, and everyone in the village. I will definitely reveal the truth about what "Master" is, why I had to be killed, who were the people who destroyed my village, and I will get revenge on the members of the "Gathering of Tribes" who betrayed me and tried to kill me at ....... I will accomplish this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And if I know the whole truth and the world is distorted and miserably evil, I will not hesitate to burn the world with the fires of hell as the "Gift Giver" of death, destruction, carnage, and despair!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even Nemmu, who is absolutely loyal to me to the point of devoting his soul to me, and Gold, who wears a full-face helmet and always maintains an aloof attitude, gasp and show fright.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I sensed the birds flying away from the nearby virgin forest, and beasts and demons alike fleeing into the distance.

----"

　He calmed himself down because he could not enter the city or even approach it at this point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Within a few seconds, I had calmed down to my normal state of mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dad, Mom, everyone--I'm off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After finishing his greeting, he turns his back to the graveside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'...... Shall we go then?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, yes, I will accompany you wherever you go!" and Nemmu.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'My Lord, don't spread the killing spirit like you did earlier in the city. We are not the only ones who can be killed, but if an ordinary person were to be exposed to that kind of deadly energy, it would stop his heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I start to walk away, Nemmu follows me, stammering but cheerfully, as if to cover up her earlier fright.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gold also starts to walk away, making a few small comments.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--And thus began my own story of revenge, of discovering the truth.
