Where is this place?.
Why am I lying here in an unfamiliar place again?.
“…….”
Lloyd blinked..
How long have I had my eyes closed?.
My eyelids were stiff..
My neck and back were also sore..
he thought.
‘Ah, I wish I could just be possessed in a new body. It's a real nuclear gold spoon and a diamond spoon. I really hope it comes in with a papad on it's body..’
Of course, that's not the situation right now..
Lloyd himself knew best..
As soon as I open my eyes, a message appears before my eyes..
As he read the contents, he was able to understand roughly what had happened to him..
[Through your sacrifice, courage, and initiative, you have saved countless people from disaster. The citizens of the trading city of Cremo are deeply impressed by your noble achievement..]
[As a bonus for this great social achievement, you will receive a special large amount of RP..]
[1,000 Earned RP.]
[RP you currently own : 1,046]
‘What am I? Leading by example in sacrifice and courage? Saving countless people from disaster? haha.’
Lloyd smiled as he looked at the message that appeared before his eyes..
You are leading by example..
Courage and sacrifice.
That's a specification.
Even if you ask me, I just hate it.
But he committed such an atrocity(?).
The message that appeared before my eyes did not end there..
[The citizens of the trading city praise you as the ‘Guardian of Cremo’..]
[Your courage, wit, and sacrificial spirit are touching the hearts of many people..]
[This is a trading city. Numerous merchants and visitors will hear and be amazed by your achievements through the words of the citizens here..]
[Your story will spread throughout the kingdom through word of mouth among merchants..]
[Many artists inspired by your heroic tale will create various works of this story..]
[For a while, songs, plays, and artwork featuring your accomplishments will become trendy..]
[You have become a national celebrity..]

[500 Earned RP.]
[RP you currently own : 1,546]
‘omg.’
I'm so mad, I'm so mad.
I was almost beside myself with the flood of messages that kept coming without a break..
At the same time he realized.
‘You caught the Giga Titan, I.’
A monster I couldn't even face.
A monster that just had no answer.
So I tried to stay locked up while he installed it..
But I can’t believe he caught that Giga Titan!.
It didn't feel real..
But it seemed true.
Suddenly, I remembered the last sight I saw before losing consciousness..
giga titan.
Exploit weak points.
Himself prepared to use blasting..
At that moment, a sudden bombardment of piles of stones came..
‘And I got hit in the head.’
Even now, the feeling of that time is vivid..
Did something hit my head?.
I remembered how the world changed very slowly..
Fainting, no, it was the process of fainting..
In it, he…….
‘I used blasting. That's also very ignorant.’
2big 3.
Ideal rotation ratio of the mana circle used for blasting.
While I was losing my mind, I kept repeating that ratio over and over again..
So I did something crazy..
‘Didn't protect my heart.’
Even the circles used for protection were mobilized for blasting..
All three circles collided like that..
At that moment, an overwhelming shock shook my whole body..
That shock was his last memory..
‘But I lived.’
not dead.
was alive and well.
My heart was beating well too..
No, I actually felt more energetic than before..
But Lloyd wasn't dazed or embarrassed..
Instead, I looked at the message that had popped up earlier..
That was because the current situation was kindly explained there..
‘The Mana Heart skill has blossomed.?’
his eyebrows twitched.
Manahat.
I didn't have it yet.
No, I didn't think it would happen in the future..
‘Training is very difficult and takes a long time. It would take at least 5 years at the earliest. So I stopped practicing Manahat altogether..’
it was true.
It was something that required persistent and consistent training every day..
So I folded it.
This was because I thought it would be beneficial to do at least some civil engineering work during the time I had to focus on training..
‘I also happened to have a Mana Circle to replace the Mana Heart..’
Thanks to this, I now have the power to rival that of a decent knight..
Haviel was also there..
So, I thought that I wouldn't have any regrets about my swordsmanship, and that I wouldn't go anywhere and die from a blind sword..
No, I compromised..
This is enough.
‘But did that Mana Heart come into being?.’
I felt like I had received an unexpected surprise gift..
He looked at the skill details as if opening a gift box..
Ding dong.
[View skill information.]
[Skill Name: Mana Heart]
[Level: Mana User Lv. 1]
[High-density mana is stored inside the heart through artificial techniques. The stored mana can be freely taken out and used. This greatly helps improve physical abilities, and as the level increases, mana storage and efficiency increase..]
[rate of improvement in physical ability : 150%]
[RP required for next level up : 50]
[RP you currently own : 1,546]
‘omg. It's crazy. it's crazy.’
Lloyd stuck his tongue out..
It was truly a proper mana heart..
I wanted to make it, but it took too much time and effort, so I gave up..
It really became a skill and it just came out of nowhere..
In fact, the feeling of my heart beating has also changed slightly..
Exciting, Exciting.
Every time my heart beat, I could feel the mass of mana gathering inside me..
It was the size of a plum..
But the power was like a 4-cylinder car engine..
I felt so powerful, as if I had an entire engine installed in my heart..
Moreover, the power felt natural, like a part of the body..
I felt like I could freely use my arms and legs if I wanted to..
‘I really became a mana user..’
Mana users are the standard beyond ordinary people..
If the triple circle and this force are linked here,?
It seemed like it would display the power of an intermediate sword expert or higher..
If you do it well, you might even be able to compete with an expert knight..
And the gifts didn't end there..
No, the real thing remained separate..
Ding dong.
[The mana heart you possess was created by the impact of blasting, not by general training..]
[This special creation history gives your Manaheart unique characteristics..]
[New skill options have been opened.]
[Skill Exclusive Option ①: Shock Cancellation - Your Mana Heart can cancel the shock from collisions that occur between mana circles on its own without any specific protection. Therefore, there is no damage from blasting. This option goes a long way in overcoming the limitation of having to use one circle to protect your heart when using Blast..]
‘crazy.’
My eyes widened as I read it..
There is even an option that will make you gulp dry saliva..
Lloyd's mind became busy..
‘Let's organize this. So, since Mana Heart was created through a skill, you can go up to Sword Expert or higher by just investing RP. In the meantime, useful options may have emerged. In addition, it is equipped as standard with a nuclear option that frees you from the impact of blasting..’
In a word, awesome.
No, super cool.
This meant that you didn't have to protect your heart when using blasting..
In other words, it also meant that he could use the Triple Clash of the Circle that he used against Giga Titan before he lost his mind at any time..
‘Perhaps it was the blast created by that triple collision that brought down the Giga Titan. So does the power of blasting increase squarely with the number of collisions? If that were the case, its power would increase exponentially.…….’
Lloyd was busy calculating..
But that was then..
A message appears before my eyes.
Meanwhile, a familiar figure suddenly appeared..
And then he spoke towards me.
“Are you really alive?.”
“…….”
It was Habiel.
Still with an indifferent look.
With a grumpy expression like always.
In the same cold voice as always.
I asked this way.
“Are you planning on falling into a coma again?.”
“……do you want me to do that.”
“Well, to be honest-”
The guy tilted his head intently to one side..
“It seems so.”
“…….”
“You were very comfortable while you were in the coma..”
“It was comfortable?”
“yes.”
Javiel’s calm reply continued..
“All I had to do was stay by Lloyd's side while he was sleeping. There was no need to drill through the ground or split rocks. There was no need to drive the stake in with a hammer. Besides, there was no need to do any boring digging..”
“under. He was sucking honey.?”
“That's an accurate summary..”
“So now I'm sad that I opened my eyes?”
“yes.”
“omg. I don't even deny it.”
“When superiors start working too diligently, inferiors tend to get tired..”
“So the meaning of the right hand raised now is?”
“…….”
“You're not trying to knock me out with that, are you? Just go to sleep and say ‘pop’ and ‘pop’.”
“…….”
“Look at how he slowly opens his fist after being pointed out..”
“You are welcome. How could I do that.”
Javiel reached out his hand..
I firmly supported the back of my neck and back..
And slowly raised my upper body..
Is it because I woke up after lying down for too long?.
“Ugh.”
I felt slightly dizzy.
Still, it didn't feel bad.
Contrary to the hateful words, it was even more so when I saw Javiel's face smiling at me..
“Good luck, Lloyd..”
“I know. I'm so glad. Now that I can bother you again.”
“Yes, I'm glad again. Lloyd's solo period may be extended..”
“that's right. As expected, I’m glad. I thought I could tell the Baron about your climbing behavior like this..”
“Are you serious??”
“I saw you doing it.”
“That means you won't do it..”
“omg. Look at what you decide.”
“Isn't it right??”
“You'll have to hope it's right. If possible, put some water on it every night..”
I really laughed.
I was really glad.
Both you and him are safe..
Lloyd smiled, feeling very fortunate..
Then, Haviel's face hardened coldly..
Seeing that made me laugh again.
It finally felt real..
Everything passed safely.
Now it was time to relax and enjoy the rewards..
♣
The compensation was more persistent, unconventional, and surprising than expected..
The news that you have woken up.
As soon as this became known, visitors lined up..
The first person to rush to the hospital room was none other than the Count of Cremo..
“Hey, do you want to be my son-in-law??”
“……yes?”
As soon as the Count entered the hospital room, he immediately spoke an unexpected line of courtship(?)..
It was accompanied by a huge bouquet of flowers wishing for his recovery..
“Hey, what do you mean?.”
“What do you mean? Shall I say it again??”
“…….”
“Will you be my son-in-law?.”
“…….”
Lloyd was silent..
At first, I thought something was wrong with that person..
But looking at his eyes and voice, it wasn't a joke or a prank..
It seemed like if he just nodded, he would immediately invite his only daughter to this place and hold a ceremony..
So Lloyd just shook his head..
“sorry.”
“why?”
“I am truly grateful for the Count's favor and suggestions.…….”
“It's work, but?”
“I don't think I can handle it.”
It's true.
It's a sudden marriage..
And that's because he's marrying the count's only daughter..
On the surface, it may seem like a great opportunity..
But the reality was a little different, Lloyd thought..
‘Are you getting married at this point? It's the worst. You spend money catering to your wealthy in-laws, you spend money on weddings, and when you have a baby, you spend money on diapers, formula, and education expenses. So when will you pay off Yeong-ji’s debt?.’
Of course, the debt could be repaid by the count's family..
But it's never free.
It just creates a new intangible debt..
Lloyd didn't want to get his nose stuck in the count's family like that..
In any case, his goal is to repay the debt he owes to loan sharks and suck the honey freely and leisurely. It was such a simple and peaceful life, without any shortcomings, and living without any problems..
In that case, jumping into the big waters of the count family would not have been a wise choice..
Lloyd bowed his head again..
“sorry.”
“Tsk. Is it so?.”
“yes. I will only accept the Count's heart..”
“If possible, I will accept the offer, not just my heart, but.”
“I'm really sorry.”
“Then there's nothing I can do.”
The Count of Cremo licked his appetite as if he was disappointed..
After that, many people came to the hospital..
The city's historic merchant families.
Refusal based on the shipbuilding industry.
Private escort service to wealthy families.
All of them were influential people with considerable influence in this city. They came to the hospital room and all said the same thing..
“Don't you want to build a good relationship with our family??”
Marriage proposals under the pretense of visiting the sick continued..
Of course, Lloyd shook his head every time..
He had already rejected the count's marriage proposal..
There was no reason to accept their marriage talks..
Instead, I refused with kind words and only cared about my relationship with them..
“Whoa. This time, it was another courtship. I feel like I've suddenly become the hottest guy in the city..”
Why is it that the purpose of all the people who come to visit the hospital every day is the same?.
Still, it probably means that their stock price has risen that much. It also means that you will be treated as the best groom in the city..
When I thought about that, I felt good for no reason..
Thinking back to when I was in Korea, it seemed impossible even in my imagination..
Javiel, who was taking care of him, also chuckled..
“Hot guy. Congratulations.”
“……Write it. It seems like they are laughing at me somehow?”
“Absolutely not.”
“no?”
“yes.”
“then what is that.”
“yes?”
“Package of letter envelopes in hand.”
“ah.”
“No way, that?”
“yes, that's right.”
“really?”
“yes.”
“A new confession letter I received while I was lying down?”
“yes.”
“…….”
“Let’s count how many there are.?”
“No, don't do it..”
“five… … seven… … eleven… … twenty…….”
“Stop.”
“Thirty-nine cases..”
“shit.”
“Now that I think about it, there were twelve marriage talks that Lloyd received, probably.?”
“…….”
“Hehe.”
“…….”
As expected, I don't attack John Zahler carelessly. Lloyd was deeply moved by that fact..
It was then.
Knock knock.
“There is someone who came to visit. I'll open the door.”
A knock came from outside the door and the voice of the count's maid came in..
Eventually the door opened..
Until then, Lloyd had thought that another faceless powerful person would come in..
As expected, like everyone else, he came to propose marriage under the pretense of visiting the hospital. With that in mind, I looked back at the hospital room door..
And I flinched without even realizing it..
“This guy!”
A sudden shout.
Steps that suddenly approach me.
A hand that pulls you in without any time to prepare.
“What did this guy, this father say? She told me not to do anything dangerous..”
wobble!
“……uh?”
Lloyd's eyes widened..
Baron and wife Frontera never expected to come this far. In this hospital room, two people were crying, and before they knew it, they were embracing each other warmly..
