twinkle.
It is not enough to judge people.
This is because the eyes can look different depending on the shape of the eyes.
Even with that thought in her head, the two men standing in front of the entrance looked strange.
He looked like a guard, standing at the village entrance with a long spear.
But there is no sign of looking around.
I was just looking at ‘one place’.
‘Where are you looking?’
The focus wasn’t on me.
I look back without stopping my steps.
-Whew.
Roll your eyes and look at the ends of their gaze.
There was nothing to see.
Just some bushes and trees?
When I turned my head forward again, their expressions had changed.
A bright smiling face.
He was waving his hand vigorously as if to welcome me, who had come with difficulty.
“Are you the warrior who came to our Dane village?”
‘brave?’
The presence of a warrior who protects against all dangers, including monsters, demons, and undead, is a welcome presence in any village.
But it was strange that he would immediately ask a traveler who had come to his village if he was a warrior.
“Haa… haa… no.”
Even though I walked slowly, I was out of breath.
She took a deep breath and denied the man’s words.
Then, the men who saw the skin covered in blisters from the burns were shocked.
“Hey, are you okay? Hey! Someone call the village chief!”
The man turns toward the village and shouts.
“It’ll be okay. Our village chief knows how to use healing magic.”
“By any chance… are you a priest, village chief?”
“That’s not it. He said he learned it when he was a young wizard.”
If what he says is true, then the village chief must be a great wizard.
The priest’s healing magic borrows the power of the goddess to heal.
Just by praying, wounds will heal and physical strength will be restored.
But the healing magic that wizards perform is on a different level.
If you want to heal your body, you must split open your stomach with magic power and directly inject magic power into the cause of the problem to heal it.
That’s why wizards don’t learn healing magic.
The success rate of healing was low and it consumed a lot of magic power, making it truly unsuitable for wizards.
“You’re quite the eccentric one.”
“Still, you are someone who is absolutely necessary for a village like ours. Here you come!”
Age: around 80. White beard and white hair.
His back was bent and he was walking with difficulty, relying on a cane.
“Chief! The situation is quite serious!”
The village chief glanced at the village men and then approached me.
“eight.”
The village chief pointed at my arm with his cane and gestured for me to hold it out.
When I showed my arm to the village chief, a purple light emanated from his hand.
“Hmm.”
The purple color crawls over my arm, as if it were alive and moving.
The purple light emanating from the village chief’s hand gradually fades.
“What a great feat. The outer layer of the skin is dead, but the inside has already healed. Are there any priests around?”
It was the village chief’s mistake.
After my body healed with the message ‘Level up’, I just got burned again.
There is someone I need to find.
I stared at the village chief’s face quietly and made a few remarks.
“Actually, I didn’t even see the face of the person who healed me. Did a priest come to this village?”
“A woman who appeared to be a priest came to visit us just now, but she took a few things from the village and left again. Didn’t you run into her on your way to the village?”
“No. I have never met a ‘person’.”
I think we’ve gotten mixed up.
‘The village chief said that he was very skilled, so is he a high-ranking priest?’
It seemed like he had finished what he had to do and was returning to the villagers.
‘Should I go back to where I was?’
At that thought, my body became heavy.
It was like my brain was warning me that I couldn’t walk anymore.
“Hmm… … I felt it earlier, but you have a nice body.”
I can feel the village chief’s gaze examining every corner of my body.
The village chief nods and says.
“I will heal the rest of your wounds.”
“thank you.”
I expressed my heartfelt gratitude for those words.
Because of the pain, it was difficult to even stand still.
“If the priest ever returns, I will let you know right away. You can rest in our village tonight.”
He signals for people to follow him by tapping his back with his cane.
Walk through the village streets following the village chief.
It was hard to even see people, as the village was so deserted that it was hard to tell whether it was because there were few villagers or they were simply holed up in their homes.
Of course, a few villagers stood out, but they had strange eyes that stared at nothing, like the men at the village entrance.
“Hmm, our town is a bit special.”
The village chief suddenly opened his mouth, perhaps because he thought my gaze while looking at the village was strange.
“Most of the villagers have left, so the village is bound to be empty.”
Were those eyes a look of ‘loneliness’?
I opened my mouth carefully.
“Can’t we leave together?”
At those words, the village chief smiled bitterly.
“If only it were that easy. No one can leave. They can’t leave the village where they were born and raised. But I think it’s time to leave now.”
Sure enough, the village was dead, just as the village chief had said.
There were no regular inns or shops to be seen, and the houses were so old that they looked like they might collapse at any moment.
-chin.
The village chief stops walking.
My footsteps, which had been following him, also stopped naturally.
What was in front of me was a small house with a shabby appearance.
“Would you like to stay here today?”
“All right.”
As I opened the door, a musty smell hit my nose.
A room filled with one bed.
I couldn’t complain that the house was shabby.
I had to be thankful that I at least had a bed.
“I’ll take care of your wounds tomorrow, so get some rest today.”
I found that statement odd.
“… … Is it not possible today?”
“I don’t know about priests, but my healing magic also affects the stamina of the recipient. Even if it’s painful, please endure it with this today.”
The village chief held out a ‘red potion’.
I know quite a bit about red potions, let alone white potions.
During the palace days, on days leading up to a dangerous battle, ‘Red Potion’ was often supplied.
It cannot heal wounds, but it can energize the body and make you forget the pain.
However, potions are quite expensive.
Perhaps this red potion would be enough to buy 50 of the daggers Croa bought for me, and still have some left over.
Seeing him readily hand over that expensive potion to a stranger, I felt more strange than burdened.
“… …Can I really accept it?”
When I hesitated and did not take the potion, the village chief’s eyes became sharp.
“Don’t worry about money. I made this potion myself, so it’s not expensive. Of course, I won’t ask you for money. What do you think? Would you still like to take it?”
The village chief’s tone became rough, as if he was angry that his favor had been ignored.
I hid my embarrassment and quietly accepted the potion.
“Hmm, I’ll let you know when the priest comes looking for me. Oh, and you’d better stay out of the building at night.”
Without even asking why, the village chief closed the door and went out.
I relaxed and just sat down on the bed.
‘Ugh!’
As soon as my flesh touched the bed, the pain came again.
Still, I was tired so I carefully laid my back down on the bed.
‘Ah, a backpack… .’
It was only then that I realized I had a backpack on my back.
The priest’s backpack, which the thief was holding.
He sat down on the bed again, lifted the backpack on his back, and placed it between his legs.
I checked inside my bag to see if I had forgotten anything.
“A map, a water jug, dried food, and… … ,”
All kinds of potions.
Among those potions, I lifted up the ‘Red Potion’.
‘It’s strange?’
The red potion that the village chief gave and the priest’s red potion had slightly different ‘colors’.
The red potion the village chief gave me seemed a bit stronger.
‘Is it because it’s handmade?’
I opened the lid and drank the village chief’s red potion in one gulp.
-Gulp. Gulp.
Slightly bitter taste.
‘Are the effects different?’
The pain was gone, but I didn’t feel any more energetic.
Rather, it feels like the axis is sagging.
I carefully moved my body and lay down on the bed again.
As the pain was forgotten, fatigue came.
But sleep didn’t come easily.
‘Did Croa and Lian escape safely?’
You can rest assured.
The strange black monster was definitely extinguished along with the forest fire.
‘It’s okay, everything is fine. Once you’re healed, let’s go to Tallinn where Croa is.’
If it weren’t for the monster chasing me, there would be no reason for Croa and Lian not to be able to escape.
‘My younger siblings are safe…’
Put your worries about your younger siblings aside.
What was important now was to heal my body, which was close to death.
As soon as I finish that thought, my eyes begin to close.

-Knock. Knock. Knock.
There is a rough knock on the door.
I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep.
-Knock. Knock. Knock.
There was a knock on the door again.
“… … .”
I turned my head slightly and looked out the window.
It’s dark outside.
‘Who is it this early in the morning?’
I wanted to raise my upper body, but it didn’t move as I wanted.
‘Why is it like this?’
It felt like all the strength had drained from my body.
-Knock. Knock. Knock.
I tried to make a sound, but even that didn’t work.
I had no choice but to lie down, feeling something strange about my body.
* * *
morning.
It was the sunlight coming in through the window that made me feel that way.
I couldn’t sleep a wink all night.
A body that does not move.
A voice that doesn’t come out.
This situation amplified my anxiety.
-Knock. Knock.
It wasn’t the loud knocking sound I’d heard at night.
It was a weak, knocking sound.
“Hey, are you not inside?”
The village chief’s voice was heard.
-Knock. Knock.
Once again a feeble knocking sound rang out.
-Squeak.
The village chief opened the door.
“Hmm, you were inside, you.”
The village chief looks at me with displeasure as I continue to lie down.
Then the village chief felt something strange and came closer to me.
“Oh, your body is weak and the medicine has taken its toll. I’ll bring something to calm you down.”
‘Was it because of the medicine?’
The condition seemed to be getting worse, but I felt a little relieved once I found out the cause.
‘It’ll get better if I wait… ‘
I can’t move my body anyway.
I had no choice but to wait for the village chief.
* * *
The village chief left with a flower-scented incense stick, saying it would soothe the spirit.
Looking out the window, I guess he came and went about 6 hours ago.
“… … .”
The situation didn’t get any better.
Now it was difficult to even open my eyes properly.
The floral scent from the incense was so strong that it hurt my nose.
-Kkii… .
It sounded like a doorbell.
But I couldn’t hear very well.
“Yeah… good… yea…”
That was the last memory of ‘my last life’.

―??? Died from attack. [Confirmed]
-Loaded from auto-save. [Confirm]
―Hint: Be careful with potions. [Check]
The place where I am standing is the entrance to Dane village.
“Are you the warrior who came to our Dane village?”
I look at the villager who approaches me without saying a word.
But even looking at them didn’t give me an answer to my question.
‘What… happened?’
