I Became the Wrong Race

71 – Reunion (4)

The air in the pantheon was still warm and pleasant. The scenery I saw was nice and friendly, and the looks people gave me weren’t bad either.

It didn’t feel like I was seeing a monster. Rather, it was closer to the opposite, so to speak.

So I had to feel good. It should be good, but… I couldn’t hide my complicated feelings.

I met my sister.

When I first met my sister, there were so many things I wanted to say.

She wanted to see her sister, or she knew that it wasn’t because of me that she left.

Things like saying that you don’t resent or hate me, or that your sister missed me.

But when the time came, I couldn’t take it out.

What if my sister wanted to leave me?

What if you felt light-hearted?

So I had no choice but to hide the fact that I was the younger sister from my older sister.

If there was even the slightest possibility that my sister would think that way, it had to be that way.

It was natural for me as a family member to want my only blood relative to be happy.

Especially if it’s my sister who has given me her whole life

This might be the best.

I left my sister’s cabin and walked, and soon I saw a girl walking towards me with light steps.

To be exact, it would be a woman with the appearance of a girl. Anyway.

She came closer to me and hit me in the chest.

It didn’t hurt. In the first place, the melody’s strength was only 8, so it couldn’t hurt.

“Are you finished talking with your sister?”

When I nodded, Melody held my hand with a smile.

When did you catch it?

I thought she was a bard after all.

“How, is it as I said?”

Just as I said. As I was dumbfounded, she patted my forearm, saying, “Wow!”

“I mean sister. You’re kind and kind, right? “It wasn’t much of a problem, right?”

“Ah… Surely. He was an easy person to talk to.”

In reality, the conversation was very uncomfortable, but it would have been easier if I wasn’t my sister’s younger brother.

That’s probably what Melody meant. She turned on her heels and took a couple of steps back. As she walked in the direction I was walking, she hummed her tune.

I don’t know what he was thinking, but he seemed to be in a good mood. I’m not very good.

“So, what did you talk about?”

“… Just what… Things like stories about the emperor and what to do next…”

“Did you mention anything about me?”

Melody suddenly opened her eyes and was looking up at me.

About the melody?

When I thought about it, it seemed like it never happened. Was it because my older sister was looking at me and I was trying hard to understand her?

Only then did I realize that I hadn’t even had a proper chat with my sister.

“When I thought about it, it wasn’t there. “The content is so shocking.”

Then, Melody slightly sticks out her lips. She walked a few steps first with an expression of regret.

Now it’s not me leading, it’s her leading me. In the innermost part of the pantheon, past the monument engraved with my father with the same face as me, I went inside.

And there was an elevator in that place.

Something that no one can see but an elevator. However, it was a somewhat primitive elevator, different from the elevators on Earth where I lived.

It is a device that has no safety device and only involves a large stone pillar that goes up and down with some force.

The scaffolding was carrying people to the nest above, relying only on the force of the stone pillar.

Even now, the stone pillar was rising at high speed, as if someone was climbing on it, and then coming down a moment later.

Was there anything like this? Then I guess Brock didn’t have to ride.

Still, I don’t regret it as the sky I saw while riding Brock was beautiful, but I thought there might be more hidden in this pantheon and nest than I thought.

“That’s too bad. But there’s still plenty of time… What are you going to do now?”

In the meantime, Melody asked.

I thought about it as I climbed into the elevator with Melody.

I don’t know what the elevator recognized, but it went straight up toward the nest, and in the faint feeling of floating, I thought of several options.

“I can rest, and I can organize my new acquisitions.”

“Did you get something new?”

“I learned something while fighting the red beast Hertol.”

I wasn’t sure how to explain leveling up, so I tried to explain it, but the melody seemed interesting.

“Well, he was a strong enemy. “When I first arrived, I wondered how I was going to survive this?”

And it is natural to become stronger when you fight a strong enemy. Melody got off the elevator she arrived at, chattering happily.

The space revealed like that was also unfamiliar.

Probably downstairs from the room where the teleporter is. At first glance, the wide open space seemed to be connected to the outside, surrounded by clouds and sky.

I said while savoring the sky.

“Or I could go back to the city and finish the unfinished business.”

Actually, my mind was focused in this direction.

What I realized while talking with my sister was that whoever the hidden entity behind all of this is, it probably has something to do with the DLC.

And the best way to reveal the existence intertwined with DLC was to proceed with DLC.

Finding the blue mineral was something that was both helpful and directly part of the process.

If it were a game, wouldn’t the area first opened with the blue mineral found be the direction of the DLC story?

“Shall I go with you?”

I thought about it and shook my head.

“It seems like there is a lot of work to be done here. Take a room above… Please help Lucilla.”

Sister. It was something I said out of nowhere, but it wasn’t bad.

Yes, sister. If I call you like this, it won’t be hard for me, and my sister won’t be able to say anything.

Those were the words I said with that in mind, but Melody stopped with a smile on her face.

“… “Sister?”

“Yes?”

Something feels eerie. When I asked the question without realizing it, Melody laughed as if she had never done that before.

“It’s nothing. Bye! “I’ll be waiting.”

A melody that smiles and waves its hands. I headed toward the teleporter, feeling somewhat uncertain.

Something feels wrong.

But I couldn’t figure out what it was. I eventually gave up and headed to the underground city.

*

As Melody said, the red beast Hertol was a powerful enemy.

It’s a shame because Melody, her all-round supporter, stepped in and helped.

Without her, it was obvious who she would have been defeated.

And just as fighting a strong enemy causes a person to grow, I also continued to grow.

Level up twice.

It wasn’t a simple fight, so it was deserved, but when you look at the things that were achieved, you can’t just think that way.

First of all, what I achieved by reaching level 7 filled my eyes.

[Mourning]

[You become temporarily immune to status ailments and your health modifier is added to attack rolls, damage rolls, and defense rolls.]

[Remaining duration: 60 seconds]

[Mourning 4/4]

First of all, the number of mourning has increased by one.

This means that if I use it of my own will, I can use it four times a day.

Considering the grief reaction, it wouldn’t be very likely that I would use it four times in a row, but it was nice to get something.

Of course, considering what I got separately, I wouldn’t have to use this.

[Repeated memorial]

[Automatically activates Mourning when attacked once every 6 seconds. This function can be stacked, and each time it stacks, the duration of mourning increases by the number of stacks.]

One of the reasons why Mourner is a recommended job for beginners, as it was also obtained by Mourner.

Repeated remembrance.

This was a key technique to increase the mourner’s low maintenance and compensate for her weaknesses.

With this one thing, I am no longer limited by the number of times I mourn.

However, the level even went up one more level.

[Name: Llewelyn]

[Race: Homunculus]

[Occupation: Warrior – Mourner 8]

[Reputation: Bloody Black Knight]

[Strength: 22(+6)][Dexterity: 20(+5)][Health: 22(+6)]

[Magic Power: □][Inspiration: □][Charm: □]

[Play time: 9,363 hours]

That’s how my level reached 8.

[Martial Arts]

[“Yes, at best you can make a good fist and hit. But one day this will save your life.”

-Imperial Army Noncommissioned Officer Training Center]

[An unarmed attack is considered a weapon attack with a minimum of 1 point and a maximum of 4 points.

Additionally, a proficiency bonus is added to attack rolls and damage rolls for unarmed attacks.]

At level 8, you can choose a skill that you have already acquired, such as parrying, so I chose fighting skills for synergy with mortals.

Since I am not a professional fighter, the effect was a bit disappointing, but it was necessary for the fighting skills I would choose later.

All that’s left is to adapt to my new acquisitions and find my other two companions.

So I woke up in an unfamiliar warehouse in the underground city.

The problem is that the sight you see as soon as you open your eyes is different.

“… It came out!”

A gangster who looks at me in shock.

It wasn’t just a guess. He had a faintly sweet yet unpleasant smell.

The smell of green grapes, commonly used as a drug. Accordingly, his consciousness his appeared clouded.

In addition, the club on his waist, the rugged muscular body, the scars underneath, etc.

If you’re not a gangster, it’s at a strange level. But that wasn’t the end.

Countless thugs surrounded me.

I didn’t understand that scene.

It seems like they were preparing to follow me and ambush me, but you can tell just by looking at them that they are not good, right?

He was transferred to this space as something he had never seen before, and his entire body was covered in black armor.

There was a sword on his waist, and an ax on the other side of his waist.

Even the biggest gangster here was smaller than me.

Even if they knew that the situation was wrong and ran away, it wouldn’t have been good, so they just sit back and watch.

I clenched my fists, wondering if I should teach them a lesson.

It was a time when I was trying to use my newly acquired fighting skills, practical movements that felt close to boxing.

“Sleep, please wait a moment!”

The thug, who was shocked and pointed at me like I was some kind of monster, stopped me.

The thug shrugs his shoulders and looks scared when he looks at him from inside the helmet.

He took a deep breath and spoke as clearly as he could, even though he was afraid.

“The ‘Alchemist’… “You sent a letter.”

The term alchemist spoken by a drug addict.

And a luxurious parchment letter is handed out.

I stared at him for a moment, then withdrew my fist and opened the letter I had received.

It was still an unreadable text. However, the moment I glanced at it, the content was overwritten in Korean.

Still, I could tell. The handwriting on the letter is neat and colorful, befitting the luxurious content.

There was a lot of redundancy and too many modifying words, so it was a bit confusing.

After reading the letter for a while, I was able to guess what it wanted.

Alchemist.

One of the three clans that Hertol met last, and someone who may be the limb of this unknown being.

That person wanted to meet me.
