Rebirth Online World

Episode 16: leaving the village!

“Stella. Is what you said the truth?”

“Yeah… I’m not a human being… I was tasked to observe Nina-chan and Yu.”

(TL note: oh no! What is this? I didn’t believe I translate it wrong but since the word was split with… It have a 5% of being wrong.)

Stella already has trouble breathing.

“Stella please have a peace of mind. I will protect Yu. It’s natural because he is my friend.”

“Thank you… Nina-chan… Yu… you make… my life… worth it……”

Stella let out her last breath. Her face was smiling and calm. Nina couldn’t hold back her tears.

“Stella… rest.. in.. peace…”

8 hours later Yu came back. He saw Nina crying and he fell down realizing Stella isn’t moving anymore.

“I… was late…. No…. There’s still time…”

He couldn’t accept her death. Yu tried to make her drink the potion he made. It was dripping down from the mouth.

“Grandmother.. Please drink… Please…”

There was no reply from Stella.

“Aaaaaaaahhhrrggghhh..”

I applied heal on her body. I healed her with a great amount of mana that usually isn’t required by a normal heal. However there is no effect. Heal is a magic to restore the damage that has been done.

For the dead.. It was useless…

When his Mp ran out, Yu sank down.

“Yu… Huhuhu….”

I didn’t realize that there’s a stream of water coming out from my eyes.

After a while Yu and Nina calmed down. They are discussing on what to do.

“Let’s make a grave for her.” While her eyes are still red, Nina talked to Yu who is sitting.

“Stella-san was saying that she was glad that she could spend her days with you.”

“She wasn’t suffering? Living with me.. Did she really say that?”

“Yu, she was smiling in the end.”

I looked at grandmas face and realized.

“We will bury her tomorrow. Let me stay with her tonight.”

“Okay…”

“I wonder what should I do now.”

“I’ll go to Comer city. There are lots of monsters there and I need to get used to male adventurers. It was also Stella’s request.”

“Please don’t go.. Without grandma.. Without you.. There is no reason for me to stay.”

“Of course you are coming with me. Aren’t we friends?”

That day I stayed at grandma Stella’s side without sleeping. In the morning I erected a grave for her.

“Grandmother, I’ll be leaving the village. When I come back I will bring lots of souvenirs. I’ll even tell you about my journey. Please look after me.”

“Stella, please leave Yu to me. I’m also an adventurer so there should be no problem.”

“Oh? Is that coming out from someone who I train?”

“I’m older than you! Humph.”

She was pouting but it was just a joke. I bowed to her and said “thank you.”

I left as soon as possible. If I stayed any longer I may have grieved again. Honestly I don’t know when I will be back to this village.

We have to move through the village to reach the town. We met several villagers on the way.

“You guys, what’s with your appearances and luggage. Are you going to leave the village?”

The villager talked to Nina differently than when they talked to me however Nina’s expression is grim.

“Because grandma is dead, I have no reason to stay here anymore. You have been trying to kick me out anyway. So it’s benefitting both of us.”

“But, we are lacking adventurers. It’s only you and Sermat left. And who is this grandma?”

I feel weird. Is this sarcasm? He was the one who told me that grandma Stella overworked herself. Is he playing the fool?

(Tl note: here is our author grand ability: confusion.. Nina and the villager was talking then he put Yu inner monologue.)

“It’s grandma Stella!”

“Stella?”

The expression of the villager is strange.

“Yu, let’s go.”

I wanted to talk but Nina pulled my hand.

——–
“Chief… How dare they leave us like that. Anyway did any of you know Stella?”

“No.. It’s the first time I hear that name.”

(tl note: what is this? Confusion master author)
——
“Nina.. I am aiming to be the strongest adventurer.”

“Don’t worry. With my power and yours combined, we can aim to be the strongest easily.”

“Oh? Where is that confidence coming from?”

Finally after almost a year after I arrived in this world, I left the village to become an adventurer.

(TL note: did we have that much time slip? Anyway the first arc of village is ended. Is it the end of the first book? Idk because I translated from the WN. The chapter was shorter but it took more time to translate thanks for the author confusion skill lol)

15th story: In the mountains cave ③

“I’m so lucky!” in the road towards the cave, Sermat Po couldn’t hide his excitement.

He is the last party member of Hage. Hage who has gone missing is the main force of their party. At first he was hesitant to take the quest but now only two adventurer remain at Resser village. Nina and Sermat are the last adventurer.

At first he didn’t want to take the quest but his income is nearly zero since Hage is missing. He needed to do it if he wanted it or not.

“Oh.. Another goblin corpse and a magic stone!”

He is cutting the goblin’s ear as a prove for the guild later.

“There.. There are still more goblin’s corpses? How weird.”

It was an abnormal spectacle and Sermat noticed it too. As he moved closer to the cave the number of corpses are increasing. Of course he didn’t miss the chance to salvage the ears but is there a dispute between monster? Maybe it’s dangerous but the temptation of free goblin’s ears and magic stones takes over his fear. He finally entered the cave. However it was even weirder. The 1F and 2F were empty. No monster in sight.

Only a sign of corpses remains. A monster massacre seemed to have occured.

A sound of cutting could be heard. As if a sword cutting trough paper, the orc soldiers neck is cut trough.
“You… Give me white magic!… Idiot….”
Yu didn’t pay attention to the stinging pain in his head because of over using [Depriver]. Yu is releasing an omnious air. There are even lots of monster who ran away scared.

Usually Yu didn’t kill a lot of monster for training Nina. However today he killed several hundreds already.
All the times he used [unknown world magic eyes] while depriving monsters skills by [Depriver].
His skills and statuses all increased tremendously.

——–
I keep on going and killing monster. This is the last one…

Not only the boss, ogre (subspecies) is here, there are goblins, goblin soldiers, goblin knights, goblin priests and goblin mages, kobolds, kobold shamans, orcs soldiers, war bats, wild wolfs, all of them are there. It seemed they all gathered here after running away from Yu.

“You can’t escape..”

At the entrance stood a young boy. His body is dyed in red from monster blood. His armor is tattered but there’s no scratch on him.

Yu casted a fireball but this time he held it in the air and the size of the floating fire is increased. When the spell is completed, he throws it to the ground and makes a fire pillar blocking off the only door.

“Huaaaaaa… Oga gaagaagaa…”

The Ogre(subspecies) is shouting and the monster around are attacking Yu all at once. Once again he casted a fireball and send area damage to the attacker.
It causes Kobold Shamans and Goblin priests to be busy healing their allies.
One by one Yu killed them.

However they got the number advantages. The goblin mages fire off fireballs, but it doesn’t work. The sheer number of monsters turn it into a friendly fire. When they no longer shoot magic carelessly, Yu is approaching them and wanted to deprive them. However the ogre(subspecies) stands between them.

“How annoying.”

Yu wielded his long sword and stopped in front of the ogre.
The ogre isn’t a fool. He wields a club and stayed calm.

“Clank”

Yu blocked the club attack with the sword. However due to the strength differences, he was sent flying 10 meters away.
When Yu lands there are some monsters trying to attack him but he deals with them using a fireball.

Sermat was watching the scene from the entrance. His eyes were fixated until he even forget to breathe.
“That brat.. He is the taboo child of Resser village. How can he be so strong?”

Sermat watched Yu calmly. He was save behind the fire pillar and there are no other monster in the cave. He was watching excitedly behind the fire, a young boy surrounded by dozens of monsters.

Yu is applying heal on his arm. It was broken when blocking the ogre attack. He also keeps chanting a fireball by sustaining it floating in the air. His [unknown world magic eye] has leveled up and he is able to see the opponent’s weakness. Ogre weakness is also shown. It was ice attributes attack, but Yu couldn’t do it.

Yu didn’t forget to deprive the monster around him in the process. He deprived goblin soldiers and goblin knights [swordmanship], causing their attack to become slower and then burn them with a fireball.

Again he ran towards the ogre and with the long sword delivers a cut while avoiding the club attack.
“Guaaaaaa!” the ogre activates it’s [War cry]. The monsters around stopped and were stunned.

Yu endures the stunning effect and swings down his long sword. It landed on the same spot like before but the ogre seemed not affected and moved his club again to crush Yu’s head.

However at that moment, Yu deprives the ogre’s [body enhance] and [physical strength up]. Causing the blow to move slower and have less strength.

Seeing that, Yu swung down his sword which delivered faster than the ogre’s club. It landed on the same spot three times in a row and that was enough to cut it off. The ogre’s left arm was flying in to the air with the club. It was dancing like a propeller. The ogre could only see that with a grieving expression. It died moments later leaving his anger behind.
The monsters that were stunned are now an easy prey. No monster remained alive. Killed after being deprived of their skills. After that event, the monster attacks in Resser village surrounding area decreased drastically.
